"Found Hell at the bottom of a mine shaft. Looked the devil right in the eyes, but only one man walked back out. Still trying to figure which."
"Now you're just flirting, puppy."
"But here I am. Peachy-fuckin'-keen."
"It will be slow. Maybe it'll take days. I've done that before, you know. But you'll blow all the rest right outta the water. I'll hold you till you're cold."
"Don't worry. Just here for some fun."
"I like you, pet. You're too stubborn to die even if it's the only thing that'd bring you peace. Got that in common, you and I."
"Nobody goes near it, understand? Not in or out. Watch with your life or I'll end it."
"Guns in the front seat. You think you can reach it and hit me center 'fore I drive a knife through your carotid?"
"Quit bein' a bitch and shoot me."
"One particular night almost ended with my spleen cut out. That's when you know it's good."
"You can talk now or talk later. Only difference is how much blood you're gonna shed."
"I ain't trying to be a good person. I know what I am, and I got no reservations about it."
"I'll slice you into strips and bathe my sins in your blood."
"A man's car knows him better than anyone ever could."
"God is the only motherfucker who is crueler than me. But not by much."

Ballad of Secrecy
Part 1: Peachy Keen
1950’s Actress!Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader
AU Summary: Natasha Romanoff is a renowned actress, but everyone wonders why she will never settle down. You meet her upon happenstance and both of your lives begin to change.
Note: Yay a Nat series! I have five parts planned out, but I’m not sure when I’ll posting each one. I hope y’all enjoy this first one! Let me know what you think!
Ballad of Secrecy Masterlist, Main Masterlist
There are many words that can be used to describe Natasha Romanoff. Beautiful, confident, wealthy, golden, high-class, the list goes on. But the best way to describe her right now, as you see her across the bar, is lonely.
You feel a sort of magnet drawing you toward her. But of course, you know who she is, and you would never just approach a movie star. Most definitely not one of her status. So, you simply sit and wonder what it would be like to go up and talk to her.
Your wondering is interrupted by your friend Wanda.
“Hey there,” Wanda says as she sits in the seat next to you.
“Hey Wands,” you reply, leaning over to give her a hug. You haven’t seen her in a while. She has been traveling to try and get some new roles. “How has the search been?”
“Ah, well I have come up pretty dry,” Wanda says. “But Vis keeps telling me that it’s okay for me to keep trying.”
“And he is okay being with the kids at home?”
“He says he is. I’m not so sure,” she explains. You sip your drink as your only response. Wanda chuckles a little and orders a drink of her own. “What about you? How is the writing going?”
“It’s not,” you reply. She gives you a sympathetic look, but you shake your head. “It’s okay. Just a silly dream.”
“I don’t agree,” Wanda says. You shrug. She takes a look around the bar and that’s when she sees her. She whips her head back around to you. “Is that Natasha Romanoff?”
“I believe so,” you say casually, as if you haven’t been thinking about her all night.
“We have to go talk to her,” Wanda says.
“Oh, heavens no,” you say.
“Why? She could help me, y/n! I am going over there with or without you.”
Wanda stands up from her seat and the next thing you know she is talking to the woman. You can’t quite hear what they are saying, but when they look your way, you decide to move closer. Taking a deep breath, you move to the seat beside Wanda.
“This is my friend, y/n,” Wanda introduces you.
“Pleasure to meet you, y/n. I’m Natasha,” the woman says. Her voice is raspier in person, it’s addicting.
“Hello,” you say shyly. You figure she’s probably used to people acting this way when they meet her. But you don’t feel as though you’re starstruck, but rather her beauty is just so alluring that you can’t formulate words.
Wanda continues to talk to her as you listen on. Natasha isn’t impatient with her, nor does she turn her away when Wanda asks her about the newest movie she’s filming. In fact, she seems to tell her more details than she has to. You didn’t expect the star to be so kind.
About thirty minutes later, Wanda excuses herself to the restroom. She leaves you alone with Natasha and your heart races.
“So, y/n, what do you do?” Natasha asks you. You’re surprised she remembers your name.
“I’m a writer,” you say. She smiles at that. “Well, on the side. I haven’t exactly made any living with that yet.”
“I see,” Natasha remarks. “But clearly you see yourself in that career since you told me, a stranger, that is what you do.”
“I guess you’re right,” you say, it’s becoming easier to talk to the woman. She moves to the seat next to you. Spoke too soon.
“Tell me, do you write poems?” She asks, there’s a certain glint in her eye as her mouth forms into a smirk.
“I- yes I do,” you answer, feeling heat rush up your neck. “But mostly I write stories.”
“Stories,” she says the word as she ponders the meaning. “Like love stories?”
“Sometimes, yes.”
Natasha accepts the answer. She leans in closer to you and her hand comes to your thigh. The proximity in a public area feels dangerous.
“Maybe you could write one of those love stories into a movie,” she says.
“Do you like acting in love stories?”
Natasha thinks it over. “Sometimes. Although I do find my love interests quite boring, don’t you?”
“Well, I-”
“It’s the same white men every time. I wish someone would write something better, you know. Something with substance.”
“Oh, I must admit movies are more Wanda’s thing,” you say. “I only watch with her usually.”
“Right,” Natasha remarks. You swear her eyes glance to your lips before she moves back into her seat properly.
Wanda returns from the restroom at about that time. If she notices that Natasha has moved next to you, she doesn’t say anything.
“I should really be going,” Natasha says, sipping down the rest of her drink. “It was great to meet you both.”
“Great to meet you as well,” Wanda says, her smile not quite meeting her eyes.
Natasha looks at you and decides that she wants to see you again. She has no real power to do what she’s about to do.
“Wanda, can you be on set tomorrow morning? Say 5am?” She asks the girl.
“Oh, yes. Yes, I can, yes,” Wanda replies in disbelief.
“Alright, I will see you there. And y/n, please come with her,” Natasha says. She doesn’t give you time to ask why, but she shoots you a wink before she floats out of the bar.
You and Wanda both sit there in awe.
“What just happened?” You wonder aloud.
“I think I just got my big break,” Wanda says. “I have to go tell my family!” She hugs your neck before she disappears out of the bar.
You remain there at the bar analyzing what just happened. Was Natasha Romanoff flirting with you or was it all in your head?

So I found this Smiling Critters relationship chart and did it with my OCs because I want to talk about them more
relationship chart template by Valentinbelleyh on twitter
First up is Rozzie Rockoon!
more detailed explanations of her relationships with the main cast of critters are under the cut!
DogDay:
“DogDay’s awesome! He’s totally lead guitar material.”
“Rozzie’s really fun to hang out with! She’s great at playing music too!”
Rozzie and DogDay are good friends! Rozzie admires DogDay’s leadership skills, and DogDay likes Rozzie’s music. Even though DogDay doesn’t hang out with Rozzie as much as the main critters, they enjoy hanging out together, and he often invites her to hang out when she’s around.
Bobby Bearhug:
“Bobby? She’s nice! She’s just a bit… mushy-gushy? It’s not really my style, y’know?”
“Rozzie’s an amazing musician! And she’s just as good a songwriter! I wonder if she’s working on any of my suggestions…”
Bobby considers Rozzie a good friend (no surprise there), and loves her singing! She often tries to suggest song ideas for Rozzie to write, usually having to do with love or romance. Rozzie thinks Bobby is nice, but is a bit off-put by all her lovey-dovey stuff, mainly because Rozzie hasn’t ever been interested in romantic stuff. She’s tried to make a song with her prompts, but hasn’t gotten very far.
CraftyCorn:
“Crafty’s my art sister from another mister! Love her artwork, dude!”
“Rozzie’s very nice! I love making art with her!”
Crafty is a bit shy around Rozzie at first, but they soon bond over their shared love of the arts! Crafty once designed an outfit for Rozzie’s performances, and in return, Rozzie wrote a song inspired by one of Crafty paintings.
Hoppy Hoppscotch:
“Hoppy’s so much fun! I love her energy! I bet she’d be tons of fun at a concert!”
“Rozzie’s so, so, so cool! …And really understanding, thankfully.”
Hoppy and Rozzie hit it off almost immediately, thanks to their shared tomboyishness. Rozzie tried to teach her to play the drums once. It… didn’t go so well. (Hoppy accidently tore one of the snare drums. Rozzie wasn’t upset, and the drum was easily fixed, but Hoppy decided that playing instruments probably wasn’t her thing.)
Catnap:
“Catnap seems chill! And… a little bit creepy, to be honest.”
“Rozzie’s music is lovely. But her sleep schedule could use some work.”
Rozzie doesn’t dislike CatNap, but she also can’t help but be somewhat unsettled by him. It doesn’t help that CatNap once snuck into Rozzie’s house to put her to sleep when he noticed she was up late working on a song. Catnap either doesn’t notice this, or doesn’t care. He like’s Rozzie’s music, especially her more relaxed songs.
PickyPiggy:
“Picky’s nice! She’s an awesome cook, and she’s got great taste in music!”
“Rozzie’s just peachy keen! And she likes country music, like me!”
Rozzie and Picky don’t immediately hit it off, as they have trouble finding any common ground, but they eventually find a mutual interest in country music! They probably discuss their favorite country musicians over snacks and stuff every so often.
KickinChicken:
“Kickin’s super cool! Dude’s got tons of style!”
“Rozzie rocks! She’s almost as cool as I am!”
Like with Hoppy, Kickin and Rozzie hit it off really quickly. Kickin also plays an instrument (specifically, he plays the bass guitar), so they frequently get together and have jam sessions! Him playing the bass is actually what gave Rozzie the idea to try and teach Hoppy the drums, so they could start a band together! It didn’t end up panning out, though…
Bubba Bubbaphant:
“That Bubba dude is really smart! I wish I was as good at remembering stuff as him.”
“Rozzie’s nice! And surprisingly calm when she’s not playing music.”
Bubba initially finds Rozzie to be a bit intense, but he eventually warms up to her once they interact when she’s not playing music, finding her to be actually pretty mellow and relaxed. Rozzie, on the other hand, took a liking to Bubba pretty quickly, being impressed by his memory and intelligence.
I’ll do Randy and Clever tomorrow probably (or I guess later today cuz it’s 3AM when I’m writing this)
(if catnap were real he’d be so pissed lmao, I gotta sleep)
