Obvious
summary: chris realizes he’s in love
warnings: none? pretty chill and straightforward
wc:1463
i kinda like this one… maybe?
“It’s obvious you like her.” Matt shrugs, throwing another fry into his mouth.
“Was that even a question?” Nick chimes in. Chris is sitting in the front seat, bewildered. “Of course that’s a question? What do you mean?”
“Well, like, we all know. Madi asked me if you were dating the first time we all hung out together. There are literal hearts in your eyes when you look at her.” Nick tells him. Every word that comes out of his brothers’ mouths shocks him. His jaw hangs open. “You’re cutting this out of the video right?”
“Yeah.”
“You guys are crazy.” Chris shakes his head.
“We’ll talk about this later. We only have so much time to film this video, so let’s get on with it.” Matt says, rolling his eyes as he reaches for his drink that Chris took.
He tried to push the revelation out of his mind, but couldn’t: it was obvious to the audience that he was distracted for the remainder of the video.
‘What did they say to him during the cut?’ comments started flying in- and the worst part? They didn’t even talk about it later, leaving Chris to ponder on his own. He’s stuck tossing and turning the entire night, comparing your relationship to his and Madi’s. He knew something was different, he just couldn’t figure out quite what.
The sun had risen before he realized what was different; the lingering touches, the secrets, the inside jokes. Most of all, he realized, was the difference he felt when he was with you.
The love he felt around you was warmer, more invigorating. He couldn’t get a single word out of Matt or Nick about the situation for the entire day; especially anything having to do with your feelings for him, but he tried to push it out of his mind.
He was stuck in the same position late that night, tossing and turning as he tried to ease his worried conscience.
chris: wyd?
you: nothing, mcdonald’s?
chris: yes pls
you: be there in 5
He smiled at his phone, throwing on a hoodie and some crocs. When he heard another ding from his phone, he rushed out the front door. He felt excited, knowing he was spending time with you, but the words of his brothers from the previous day loomed over him like a dark cloud.
“Hey,” You grin at him, shutting off your phone. “You hungry?”
“Always.” He says, reciprocating your smile and hopping into the passenger seat.
As the car pulled away, he found himself slipping into easy conversation with you. Your laughter filled the air, and the sound of it eased the tension that had been clinging to his thoughts since morning.
He was lost in the comfort of your company, the weight of his brother's words gradually disappearing from his head. There was something about being around you that made everything else seem trivial- at least for the moment.
You settle into a random -empty- parking lot after getting your orders. When you were staring at him instead of the road, he found it a lot more difficult to keep his composure. The air between you thickened as Chris tried to break your gaze away from him.
“What’s on your mind, Chris?”
He looks like a deer caught in headlights. Chris was caught off guard by your perception. He should have known you’d pick up on it quickly, spending almost all of your time with each other had a way of doing that to you.
“Nothing.” He says, willing his thoughts to disappear.
“C’mon, I know you better than that. Just tell me.”
Chris instantly gets lost in his unspoken thoughts. He’s unsure of how to respond to you without worrying you. You brush his hand reaching for your drink, and under the pressure of your expectant eyes, he shivers. “Yeah, I’m fine.” He forces out, “Just tired I guess.”
Your eyes search his. “Don’t lie to me,”
The intensity in your voice made Chris pause. He felt the weight of your understanding, the depth of your concern, and the strength of your connection in those simple words.
“It’s just…” Chris started, voice trailing off as fear overtook his senses. You waited patiently though, comforting him. “There’s a girl.”
You felt your heart drop, but instantly disguised it, for his sake. “Tell me more.”
“She’s someone I’ve known for a while,” Chris began, choosing his words carefully. “But things have been… different lately. I’ve been realizing the way I feel around her is different from anyone else.”
Your expression softened, pain still panging through your heart. You encouraged him to continue with a nod.
“I’ve been trying to deny it, and ignore my feelings, but being around her is like a breath of fresh air. All my worries just melt away, everything falls into place. I don’t know what to do about it.” He admits, voice tinged with vulnerability.
“Sounds like you care about her a lot.” Chris nods, a smile taking the place of his previously worried expression.
“I really do.”
“Have you thought about telling her?”
Chris's eyes widened, but he nodded slowly. “A ton. I’m just scared of messing things up. I care about her a lot, and I can't lose that.”
You glimpse at him, trying to show that you’re listening. “Chris, what’s going to happen if you tell her? Realistically.”
Chris sighed, contemplating your question.
“I guess, if I tell her… things could change,” he began slowly, uncertainty evident in his words. “We could grow closer, or grow apart. And I’m afraid of losing what we have right now.”
His eyes shifted to yours. Unknowingly, he was looking for your reassurance, like he did with most things. “But on the other hand,” you continue for him, “if you don’t say anything, you might regret not taking the chance to tell her how much she means to you.” He nods, agreeing with your assessment of the situation. “Exactly.”
“It’s a tough spot to be in,” you comment softly, voice reflecting empathy “but you know this girl best. Trust your instincts.”
You were always his voice of reason; his flashlight in the darkness. He glanced out the car window, lost in thought for a moment. Your words settled in nicely, but he still felt a little self-doubt.
“Thank you.”
“Anytime. Ready to go?”
“Yeah, if you are.”
He’s grateful to have you on his side. Even if his impending confession changes your relationship for the worst, he’s decided to take that leap of faith; he just isn’t sure when.
For the next few days, Chris found himself caught in a whirlwind of contemplation. Every moment with you seemed laden with unspoken words, his thoughts constantly drifting back to the conversation you had in the car. Everytime he was with you, the profession of his love lingered on his tongue. He needed to bite the bullet and do it, but he needed the support of his brothers to finally get him there.
“I think I’m gonna tell her.” He tells them, right before they begin filming a vlog.
“Are you serious? Why do you always bring this shit up when we’re gonna film.” Matt rolls his eyes, trying not to smack his brother.
“I’m serious, like I wanna text her right now serious.”
“Don’t text her, that’s just bad manners.” Nick tells him, setting up the camera.
“Fuck you mean manners? What does this have to do with manners?”
“Just wait till after we film.” Nick sighs.
Chris was struggling to focus for the entire vlog, which wasn’t really new. He’d always been a bit jumpy and high maintenance, but now he had a reason. When Nick deemed their filming to be finished, Chris was roaring to go.
“Guys, I seriously can't hold it back anymore. I need to go do this.”
“Alright, man, we got your back.” Matt reassured him.
Nick chimed in, trying to ease a little bit of Chris’s worries. “But seriously, maybe don’t do it in a text. A face-to-face conversation will be better.”
“Yeah yeah, I’m texting her to come get me now.”
“Come get you? Kid, why wouldn’t I just drive you?”
“This is more… us.” Chris replies, sending the message. A rush of nerves swept through him when he hit send.
you: omw
He smiled at his phone. “Hey, whatever happens, we’re here for you.” Matt tells him, trying to ease some of his anxieties.
“Thanks guys. She’s here.” He says, sliding on some shoes.
“Let us know how it goes.”
When Chris comes back, you in tow, with kiss swollen lips and a dazed smile, they have their answer.
“Went great guys, we’re pretty tired so we’re gonna head. Night!” Chris yelled, already pulling you down the stairs to his room.

seventeen members teaching you how to drive
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
author’s note: very self indulgent since i am working on getting my drivers licence rn, for the members that cannot drive let’s pretend they can in this;) please note that this is purely my opinion and is not accurate nor was made to criticise the members in any way, thank you<3
synopsis: what the title says.
word count: 1.3k | genre: fluff, humour/crack | pairing: seventeen x gn! reader | warnings: none
cheol would be one of the least calm ones, we know that he is a good driver and he knows it too, therefore he would love to comment on every single move you make, getting frustrated with you within like 10 minutes. he would yell and scream at you for “not understanding this simple thing” (driving is complicated af nobody can tell me otherwise) while literally wanting to snatch the wheel from you because as he puts it you are a terrible driver being a danger to society lmao. overall 5/10, taking away points because he would definitely make you cry at some point
jeonghan is one of the best ones; his skills are solid, he is kinda chill and doesn’t worry too much. however, this would not be the most beneficial since he is known to be a menace and would be casually clowning you at every move, making you question the knowledge you already have about driving and the road. when you panic and don’t know what to do he would switch back to teacher mode, being very quick to help you, getting you back on track in the journey. overall 9/10, only taking a point away from him because of his tricks my man needs to chill and let you be confident
now although shua may be one of the quieter ones who won’t yell or freak out, he would give up on you quite easily tbh. he is very good at keeping his cool so he would try to be gentle when guiding you on the roads, but if you had struggles with driving frequently during the journey there would be soon a moment when he would sigh and lean back in the seat, contemplating on just getting you a more professional person to help. overall 8/10, he is a bit lazy but can be convinced to stay
jun is at a bit of a loss when explaining, just like some other members he would not always know how to express what you did wrong, since it comes naturally to him at this point, so the process of both of you trying to figure out what exactly felt off with a move you did might become a common thing with him. he is very excited for you though, and would give you all his support! overall 5/10, could be better but he is trying his best so A for effort
if you want to learn how to drive safely i would not recommend getting hoshi to teach you; he is a very fun person to go on karaoke rides with, however he is not always aware of certain limits (speed limits *cough cough*) or the surroundings when being caught up in the moment. he tends to be a bit careless when he is having fun which with you would be evident since he loves your company, however he has a job to do which is teaching you, so please be careful with him since he doesn’t always see the whole picture. overall 5/10, you would definitely fail the exam for the first time
wonwoo is another chill one, his flaw would be that he was bad at explaining; whenever you would ask a question about how to proceed he would tell you, but wouldn’t be able to explain why, which is a very important thing as you should understand why you do what you do (he knows this aswell). he would recommend learning the rules again saying “it all makes sense if you know the rules well enough.” (not always, but gotta admit he has a point) overall 7/10, would be one of the best ones attitude wise
woozi is a very straightforward person, he tells you what to do and expects you to do it. or not. he is quiet and doesn’t get mad easily when you make mistakes, it is part of learning things for the first time afterall. he would gently guide you through the journey only getting a bit taken aback when you do something that even you know is a big mistake. he is not a man of many words in the car which would be the downfall of the learning process, however he is very attentive and observant so after exiting the car he would help you understand the cause of the mishaps during the drive. overall 6/10, a bit quiet
dk is very enthusiastic about teaching you how to drive and would be grateful that you chose to trust him. he would spend endless hours in the car by your side to absolutely get everything done perfectly so you could pass the exam, although he might not be harsh enough at times to tell you when you actually mess up badly, so be careful and don’t take every praise he murmurs to you for granted, as he would not want to say bad things about your skills (even though they were needed to be said, he is a big softie sorry not sorry). overall 7/10, he might be a bit too nice
minghao is pretty much teacher material, strict but not so much that you would get discouraged, balancing out the way he would guide you through every important step sternly, but nicely, hinting soft comforting words along the way to keep your motivation alive and spirits up. if he would be in charge you can bet you would pass the practical exam on the first try, him having a cocky smirk on his face when he saw that all the hard work you two put into it paid off. overall 10/10, i would sit next to him any time he is such a good driver
mingyu is hands down the best person to learn from. he is an experienced one; he practically taught the others how to drive aswell, so you are just another routine learner in his eyes (obviously not, he is the softest with you). his instructions are quite easy to understand and follow, and he is good at giving you helpful tips to make your work easier later on and on the exam. he is witty and entertaining so you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable with the fact that he is teaching, making driving seem so fun you could never be pried off the seat of the car. overall 10/10, friendly and efficient
seungkwan is a shy one; hesitant about how to start and how to help you the best. later on during the drive he could completely switch and could become easy to anger (yall know my man has anger issues) therefore him sitting next to you would be a rather nerve wrecking experience with his judgy expressions escaping against his will. for good measure i gotta say he would try to save the scolding for after each round so you wouldn’t get stressed out while at the wheel, he knows panicking won’t help. overall 6.5/10, he is trying to stay calm we gotta appreciate that (cheol if he was patient)
vernon is the most chill out of them all, this is why he wouldn’t be of much help if i’m honest. he would just nod and sit next to you silently, looking out the window and sometimes opening his mouth to say that you are doing well, poor boy would not have a single clue about how to correct any of your mistakes, saying that “it has been a long time since he learned to drive” aswell. overall 5/10, sorry he is just not teacher coded
dino is more gentle and patient than he looks in my opinion, and he is a relatively good driver who knows a lot about road rules and stuff, so him being on the passenger seat would give you a flashback about the days when you would study the names of the road signs and how the different rules should work in practice; he is the mediator between theory and practice, putting them together nicely with you in teamwork. overall 8/10 pretty solid methods and skills

Hi, so some time ago I read "Late night calls" that you wrote (wonderful, by the way) and I had an idea
Back in the day when the boys were moving to L.A. The reader, the boys' best friend and Matt's girlfriend, is also moving, and with all the moving and work stuff, Matt and she are not having much time together and are stressed. So they basically find a day to talk and do nothing together.
(Sorry if it's too long or confusing, thanks)
Lazy Day.
Matt Sturniolo x Reader
Summary: in which moving and work puts too much pressure on Matt and the reader so they find a day to spend time together alone.
Warnings: Stressful situations are mentioned, and as always profanity is used.
Tumblr media
Things had been incredibly chaotic and way too busy lately.
With you and the boys both in the midst of moving to LA, going back and forth between both of their homes and both of your own while also having to keep up with releasing content for your viewers there was loads of pressure on you guys at pretty much all times of the day.
You noticed that Matt and you rarely got any alone time anymore and it definitely saddened you.
Of course you were still very thankful for the nights you got to spend cuddled up beside him while you dozed off, but you missed being able to spend alone time with your boyfriend pretty much whenever you wanted to.
Today when you woke up beside him after deciding last night that you’d be staying at his place since your bed had still not been delivered, you had made your mind up. You were tired of not having the choice to being alone with him with no responsibilities.
You turned over on your side to face him, taking in the peaceful look on his face while he slept.
You felt guilty for waking him up but knew he’d be happy about what he was being woken up for.
You raised your hand to softly graze the side of his face a few times, hoping to wake him up gently.
He stirred a bit, taking in a deep breath and stretching before lying flat on his back.
“Matt?”
He made some sort of noise in response that told you he definitely was not fully conscious yet.
“Wake up, you goof.” You giggled before shaking his shoulder a little.
“Hmm?” He questioned opening his eyes, and meeting yours.
“We should hangout today, just us.”
He rubbed his eyes, sitting up and looking down at you still laying on your side.
You sat up so you’d be close to eye level with him.
“Yeah? I have been thinking about taking a day off from everything for sure.” He responded, looking at you intently probably awaiting further explanation.
“It definitely sounds more than amazing, but I wanted to ask what you would wanna do.”
“How about we visit that park we found a while ago?”
“Yes! It’s beautiful over there, i’d love to just bring a blanket and chill there for a while.”
“Alright it’s settled, that’s what we’re doing today.” He stated, stretching and standing up.
Before long it had been a few hours since you guys made your plans and then let Nic and Chris know you’d be busy for the day as you ate breakfast.
Now you were getting dressed to go out, planning your outfits around the nice weather and with the intention of potentially taking pictures.
“Hey y/n, go ahead and just meet me in the kitchen whenever you’re ready.” Matt spoke after softly knocking on the door to his room.
“Okay, i’ll be there in just a second!” You replied, putting your shoes on and grabbing your phone.
You reached for his door, pulling it open and stepping into the hallway before shutting it behind you.
He was already waiting next to the kitchen counter when you got there.
“You ready to go?” He asked, picking up his keys.
“Yep.” You responded, heading to the door.
You enjoyed the comfortable silence other than the music playing at a subtle level as the two of you drove.
You were relieved to finally be in just his company, no responsibilities or worries weighing down on your shoulders today.
“So are you excited that we’re almost done moving?” Matt spoke up.
“Yeah, i’ll be especially glad when all of the furniture for my apartment comes in. I need my bed.” You laughed.
“You and I both, i’m exhausted going back and forth every few days.”
As much as you loved going back to Boston to see your family and friends, you didn’t like doing it this often and for the purpose of bringing most of your things to your new place. Thankfully you were still leaving a good half of your belongings in your room at your parents’ house, but because of that it meant you were waiting for most of the furniture you had ordered to go into your new place; and any of your clothes or personal effects you wanted out here that would fit in your car and the small uhaul you had rented.
You looked at your surroundings seeing the greenery in the distance and knowing you had arrived at your destination. The car came to a stop as he parked, and your hands slowly moved to your seatbelt buckle before you heard the sound of his keys leaving the ignition and you both unbuckling.
Your legs carried you to the front of the car, Matt following and reaching his hand out to grab yours; a large blanket held in the other.
The feeling of the blades of grass being crushed under your feet and the wind kissing your skin and blowing through your hair sent you into a state of relaxation you had yet to feel the last few weeks.
Matt led you to a quiet spot in the middle of the park, the sun shining over the deep green fluffy grass as it peeked through the clouds. The surrounding trees provided somewhat of a sanctuary around the both of you.
You helped him spread the blanket out on the lawn before plopping yourself onto the ground in the center of it, him following suit and wrapping his arm around your shoulder.
Your head placed itself on his own shoulder as you leaned into the side of his neck, finding comfort and solace in not only the warmth but the sound of his quiet and steady breathing as you heard nothing else other than the rest of the world simply passing by.
The wind swaying the trees, the birds chirping every now and then, the somewhat muted voices of random people coming from every direction as they’re engulfed in their own personal little worlds. Sometimes all you needed was to think about how big the world was and how you were only one small detail in something so complex, but how comforting and grounding it could be to be aware of such things.
“I’m glad we came out here.” Matt spoke softly, rubbing the side of your arm in a slow up and down motion as he held you.
“Yeah, my social battery honestly is pretty worn down and I really needed this.” You agreed.
“Just think though, pretty soon we can come out here whenever we want and do this.”
You hummed in acknowledgment before lifting your head up off of him and lying directly on your back, looking up at him as he turned to observe your actions. He copied them, lying beside you and lifting your neck up to place his arm underneath.
Shifting onto your side, you laid your head on his chest just below his chin with your arm stretched across him.
“I love you.” You spoke, a long breath leaving your lungs shortly after.
“I love you more.” He smiled, tracing circles into the small of your back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love and Affection
Summary: Where the the Red Rose Tyrant is clearly in love~
(It's clear I favor Riddle lmao, BUT CAN YOU BLAME ME!? I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!)
(Alright we're going off topic but yeah)
Warning: None just an ooc Riddle who is enjoying himself
Word count: 711
Tumblr media
The Red Rose Tyrant who ruled an iron fist in the Heartslaybul
The one who follows through all of them
The one who makes the others follow the rules
The one who makes those that break the rules pay
No matter how ridiculous the rules are
And no one is exceptional to break those rules
Well maybe except for one
"Is it just me or do you think Riddle has become more.. lenient?" A heartslaybul whispered to one another as if trying not to get caught talking such things.
"Dude keep your voice down, but yeah I have noticed that Riddle has become just a little Lenient these past few days." They whispered back and looking around as if trying to look for someone and continues talking.
"Do you think it's because of you know who?"
"Now that I think about it, yeah, I think they are the reason why Riddle became more lenient with the dorm, of course still ruthless either way but still!"
Two heartslaybul whispering to one another about this strange behavior of the Tyrant and hopes not to get caught of whispering such things.
"What are you two mumbling about?"
And the Tyrant was right on time.
And all in his glory.
Riddle Rosehearts.
The two students were shock, and then snapped out of it and apologized.
"WE ARE SO SORRY FOR BLOCKING THE WAY DORM LEADER!"
One of them shouted.
"No shouting in the halls, and keep your voice down unless you want your head off ."
The two students kept quiet while going to the sides to let the Tyrant walk.
They watched as their dorm leader headed to where [Name] was.
"Man that was scary!"
"I really thought my head was gone man!"
"Thank the sevens that [name] is here.."
The other one nodded and just hoped for the best.
[Name] who was just chilling and playing with the hedgehogs who adores their company while [Name] was happy that they enjoyed their company.
But they didn't hear the footsteps that came closer to them with each and every graceful steps.
The hedgehogs noticed someone sneaking up on them but suddenly got excited.
They wiggled out of [Name]'s lap and ran towards the person, [Name] looked behind them to see who it was and it was Riddle Rosehearts.
"Ah Hello Riddle! I didn't expect to see you!" [Name] exclaimed while getting up and removed any dirt that was on them.
"Hello [Name], and also don't sit on the dirt like that please." Riddle said while [Name] was sheepishly chuckling and their hand on their neck.
"Sorry Riddle they are just so cute!" [Name] Exclaimed and picked up one of the hedgehogs.
"And plus this one looks just like you!"
[Name] said and showed Riddle the hedgehog who had a red color just like him who squeaked in surprise, while Riddle was also surprised.
"See, isn't he just the cutest? He reminds me of you!" [Name] bodly said.
If it was anyone it would have already been "Off with their heads!"
But no.
He loves them too much, so he just let it go and was flustered at the comparison to a hedgehog.
But he will admit, it was cute.
And thus the Red Rose Tyrant smiled while [Name] and the hedgehog were playing with each other and decided to let his guard down around them.
Although they may not know how to expressively show his love to them, it's clear that they also love him too and that's all he needs.
Riddle smiled at the scene of [Name] booping the hedgehogs nose and giggling, they turned to look at Riddle and asked to join them to play.
Riddle was quite conflicted but [Name] grabbed his hand placed the hedgehog on both of his hands.
"Don't drop them alright?"
Riddle slightly scoffed but was still smiling and nodded.
The both of them laugh while the hedgehog was between the two like a child.
For them he would let them break the rules and let them have his love and affection.
And in return, their love and affection as well.
While the two were having fun two certain students were watching them, with a fond smile while the other was taking pictures.
"#TheRedRoseTyrantFoundHimselfSomeLove!" "Cater just stop that please."
Tumblr media
I just love Riddle so much!! He deserves all the love in the world!

방 찬 (Bang Chan)
Card Sleeving
Tumblr media
You cannot tell me that this man did not collect Pokémon cards at some point in his life
I feel like he would just keep them in a box somewhere
It wasn't supposed to be a date originally
He just asked if you had any plans for the next day and you told him you had to sleeve and put your pcs in a binder bc your collection was also in a box somewhere
So he said he would come over to help you
He just wanted to spend time with you
He loves spending time with you, he doesn't care what you two do
And you remember finding a box of his pokemon cards when you were over one time
💡
You snuck over while he was still at the company and stole his Pokémon cards
Sat there and counted all of them before going out to buy binders and the appropriate sleeves
Along with a few new packs of cards
Set everything up the next day before he came over: the show you two were watching was queued and ready to go, supplies on the table, and wine chilling in the fridge
Chan said he would bring lunch
"Here, I grabbed you some more cards from the office." "I have a surprise for you too!"
Is surprised and touched
And excited
You two spend the rest of the night organizing your respective collections
Tumblr media
이 민 호 (Lee Min-Ho)
Couple's Cooking Class
Tumblr media
You mentioned once that you wanted to go to a cooking class and he suggested that you two go to one together
You said yes because you love helping him out in the kitchen
You bought matching aprons for the class
Thought it would be easy since Minho knows how to cook already
Boy, were you wrong
Turned into a menace in the kitchen
You didn't mind, you were having fun
You two made a mess in that kitchen
Pretty sure the instructor was just waiting for you two to set the whole building on fire
Somehow didn't
Manages to out cook the 3 star Michelin chef
"This was fun but I can teach you how to cook if you're serious about learning."
Tumblr media
서 창 빈 (Seo Chang-Bin)
Buy Stuff For Each Other (Idk what else to call it)
Tumblr media
It was a trend a couple of years ago where couples would go to Target and seperate, buying things for their partners following a prompt to see how well they know them
You'd take it one step further and do the challenge at a mall
You would set a budget specifically for him because you know he would just go overboard and buy expensive things like a Cartier bracelet
He will still go over the budget and try to say it was on sale
He is bouncing from joy on his way back to the dorm
"I'm hungry, should we order each other food too? We can have it delivered so it'll be ready by the time we get home." "I'm dating a genius."
He went overboard with his shopping
You should have known better, he goes crazy when it comes to spoiling you
Is ecstatic with the things you bought him
"Wow, my baby knows me so well!" "Bin--" "I'm going to show the guys! They're going to be so jealous."
Tumblr media
황 현 진 (Hwang Hyun-Jin)
Comedy Show
Tumblr media
He's always laughing so it's perfect
He insists on sitting in the front
"Jinnie, we can't sit in the front." "Why not?" "Crowd work." "That's exactly why I want to." "Did you forget who you were in the last few minutes?" "What?" "You're an idol." ."..I'll make up a fake job if I get asked." "What if the comic recognizes you." "We lie."
You two ended up sitting up front
Luckily, nobody in the audience recognized him
The waiter who brought your food might have, but they didn't make a big thing of it
You eventually get called on for crowd work because of how much Hyunjin was laughing
"God, you're so pretty. What's your name?" "Sam!" "Where are you from Sam?" "Seoul!" "What do you do? I'm an artist". "That's cool, why kind of artist?" "...The normal kind?" "Are you not sure?"
Real smooth
Pretty sure he didn't breath the entire time you were at the show, he was just laughing the whole time
"Seungmin should get into stand up, he'd kill!" "Yeah, and you'd be his first victim."
Tumblr media
한 지 성 (Han Ji-Sung)
Pretend To Be Tourist
Tumblr media
He will try to convince you to dress up like a tourist too
"We have to be fully dedicated, babe." "Okay, but a fanny pack??" "It ties the whole look together, don't you think?" "Whatever you say, Ji."
Buys disposable cameras because why not
"Let's only speak English to really sell it. Loser has to pay for lunch."
Which will be easier for you if you're a native English speaker
You go to all the touristy destinations
Even buy souvenirs
You two also get suviouners for the guys as a joke
Snacked on street food and pretend like you never had it before
Walked by a few Stay and he got offended that they didn't recognize him until you reminded him that he was in disguise
Took a picture of them to post on bubble later and tease them
Saw a few street performances
Had to physically restrain him from joining them when a skz song or a girl group song came on
He was doing so well only speaking English until an old lady came up to him and asked for directions
"That doesn't count!" "That definitely counts." "Y/N...!"
Tumblr media
이 용 복 (Lee Felix Yong-Bok)
Paint Pottery
Tumblr media
It would be a cute date at a place like Color Me Mine
Couldn't decided if you should make a little animal figurine or a mug so you just did both
Felix chose an animal that reminded him of you and you chose a baby chick for obvious reasons
Ended up making two mugs each so you would both have matching sets
Decided to make mugs for each other instead
Both of you made the mistake of wearing white and ruined your clothes
Felix came up with the idea of making a heart with both of your thumb prints on the bottom of your mugs
Secretly Felix wrote "I love you" at the bottom of your mugs so you would have a message every time you finished drinking
You painted a heart the bottom of his for the same reason
Neither of you had a theme but somehow made them match perfectly
Felix keeps the mugs that stay at his dorm in his room so nothing happens to them
Tumblr media
김 승 민 (Kim Seung-Min)
Watch Horrible Movies
Tumblr media
Trash movie night!
You two just pick out the worst movies you could think of
Just a date night where you two could be haters
Thought of the idea for a full date night of watching bad movies after making Seungmin watch most of the Twilight series and watching his reaction
Loaded up on snacks and junk food
Made a fort
Started off with Breaking Dawn part 2
"Was she not a baby literally two days ago??" "This is probably one of the most fucked up parts of the whole series, Min." "Probably? That's a fetus and a grown man! He imprinted on her when she was fresh out of Bella!"
There are a lot of movies so you also made a drinking game out of them halfway through
"I'm going to die of alcohol poisoning at this rate." "I can't tell if the movie is actually good or I'm just too drunk." "I'm nowhere near drunk enough for that yet. You're just a lightweight, Y/N."
Woke up the next morning so hungover
Tumblr media
양 정 인 (Yang Jeong-In)
Make Matching Hoodies
Tumblr media
Simple date, but cute af
You sent him a TikTik of another couple doing it and he agreed that you should make them too
Insisted that you two get different colors so you two wouldn't accidentally swap hoodies
You both know you were going to steal his a few times anyway
You were in charge of ironing the patches on, Innie was in charge of sewing them in place to make them more stable
Played music while you were working
And ordered food
it turned into an impromptu karaoke night
Innie always takes the hoodie with him on tour and wears it to sleep
Buy me a coffee?

Hi there! Can I please have a metal family, dee x fem reader?
Reader is a ditzy but polite girl who has a soft spot for dee and his shenanigans, while also being a safe space for him. Its like a little cute fluff thing between them and dee starts catching huge feelings for reader. Tysm!!!
꧁Dee x fem reader <3꧂
Summary: Dee crushing on a cute reader!!
Small warning!: Sorry for any typos, spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes!! I also apologize if he’s out of character I haven’t watched metal family in a hot minute!
Small note!: Like said in warnings I haven’t re watched metal family in a bit but I hope this is still accurate!!
Fandom!: Metal family!!
Daily song suggestion!:
Tumblr media
He genuinely enjoyed your company! Sometimes he would feel his heart go fast while around you but he would try blaming it on adrenaline from the coffee he had to drink that morning… we all know that’s a lie 💀
Once his brother heavy pointed out the obvious to him Dee was scared and a bit happy at the same time sense he hadn’t had a crush on someone for awhile , he had many mixed emotions to say the least
Once he built up courage he started doing what normal dose and tries planning and making a plan of how to make you like him and how to ask you out, which failed to say the least considering you already liked him but he didn’t know
His way of “flirting” was offering to do your homework and help you cheat/study in exams, you didn’t even notice what he was doing cause you thought he just wanted to be nice
He always over thinks about stuff cause he doesn’t want to accidentally make a fool of himself infront of You
Sometimes when he loosens around you he loves showing you his favorite songs and genres! In these rare moments he trusts you with stuff, sometimes he even vents to you but he quickly stops if you show any signs of discomfort and apologizes in embarrassment, but if you do comfort him he only falls harder for you and your personality
You have to be the one to confess I feel cause whenever he tries too his brain goes into mush and just freezes up so he just looks like a maniac trying to explain why he called you over
When you do finally confess to him after his brother broke it too you (he’s not the best at keeping secrets☠️) that he likes you, Dee will be a blushing mess before quickly straightening himself out and putting his chill mask on while absolutely freaking out with worry and excitement in his head
After you guys finally got together heavy was ecstatic about it when you guys did tell him he just said “finally!” While smiling at you two
Be prepared to get pulled in fights with Dee and heavy mostly about which one right, it’ll usually play out like this: “Y/n!!” Heavy screamed out “Hm?”you answered turning you attention from your phone to him “Who’s right me or Dee?” Heavy said pointing at his brother and himself “Oblivious me dumbass, water is wet cause it a liquid” Dee explained while pitching the bridge of his nose as he shook his head “But how can it be wet I’d it’s not wetting anything?!?!” Heavy said grasping his hair, you only chuckled at their bickering and shenanigans before patting heavy’s head “heavy I don’t think there’s a wrong or right answer too it” you said ruffling his hair “how does that work??” He said “my brain hurts from all this thinking I’m gonna go get lunch” he said running off, you looked back at Dee who only shook his head and walked over to you with a sigh “ sorry for his stupidity”, you only chuckled before kissing his cheek and walking off leaving a flustered Dee trying to keep up with you
Dee usually only comes to you for comfort really your a safe spot for him, he doesn’t trust many people so your really the only person he trusts and makes him really feel comfortable
When you guys first started dating he wasn’t really use to physically affection, but after a while he warms up to it even sometimes asking for it, of course he only drops hints he never says it outloud
Sometimes he lets you play with his hair or message his scalp which he honestly adores 😭 he finds it relaxing at how soft you are with him and how comforting your movements feel to him, when he’s around you he drops his guard a bit and doesn’t really notices it, but he feels much more at home with you
This man melts at any kisses or touch you give him let alone complements he literally sometimes just stands still while he lights up redder then winter decorations while his brain tries to understand what you just said and how to react
Overall this man has fallen head over heels for you and would honestly Do anything for your approval and love, he absolutely adores you and loves being around you ♥(⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)♥
Tumblr media
Thanks anon for the request!! I love metal family and I’m actually planning to rewatch it this weekend!! (-v-)♡ I honestly love this fandom!! Anyway I hope you enjoyed please request again!! (´v`ʃƪ)

The Hobbit re-read: favorites, thoughts and honorable mentions
thank u to my tumblr besties for encouraging me to rant abt this book for a little while, and brace yourselves for a LOOONG post; aka We're Going On An Adventure!
Tumblr media
this quote abt Gandalf: "tales and adventures sprouted up all over the place wherever he went, in the most extraordinary fashion" like. THIS exactly is Gandalf to me ✨✨✨
the whole good-morninged sequence (as if he was selling buttons at the door! can you imagine! By belladonna tooks SON of all people!!!) 😱
"a cake or 2 would do him good after this fright" me too bilbo
"he had a horrible thought that the cakes might run short" me too bilbo 🍰
Gandalf constantly selling Bilbo's skills to the company and just hyping him up and believing in him all the time!!!! most excellent and audacious hobbit!!! 😎
"this was thorin's style... if he had been allowed he would probably have gone like this until he was out of breath" aka he is Dramatic and Important
"bilbo was getting excited and interested again so that he forgot to keep his mouth shut" how many times will i write ME TOO BILBO in this post
"THE EXPLANATION DID NOT SEEM TO EXPLAIN" 💯💯💯
gandalf: i found him in the dungeons of the necromancer; thorin: girl what were YOU doing at the necromancer's??? 🧐🧐🧐 gandalf: finding things out as usual O M G like what else would he be doing there 😚
bilbo constantly wishing he was back home as soon as he left
"off bilbo had to go before he could explain that he could not hoot even once like any kind of owl" yall this book has so many funny moments but like in a very chill humor way
the fact that one of the TROLLS is called WILLIAM 😂😂😂
"i am a good cook myself, and cook better than i cook" okay bilbo rizz 😏🔥
"they had not at all enjoyed lying there listening to the trolls making plans for roasting them" you don't say. i love this deadpan humor SO MUCH jrrt snapped
that whole beautiful iconic description of kind as summer elrond
"their clothes were mended as well as their bruises, their tempers, and their hopes" WHEN will i go to rivendell 😩
"there is nothing like looking if you want to find something" thorin life coach realness 👏🏼👏🏼
thoring gesturing at a miserable desolate land: these tRuLy hOspiTabLe moUnTaiNs 😍
then gandalf lit up his wand. oF coUrSe it wAs gaNdaLf, but they were too busy to ask how he got there. 4ever mood
he thought of himself frying bacon and eggs in his own kitchen ME TOO BIL- 🍳
"Gollum brought up memories of ages and ages and ages before, when he lived with his grandmother in a hole by a bank by a river" this kind of made me cry. it brings unexpected humanity to such an appalling character; kinda makes you want bilbo to spare him eventually
and the fact itself that bilbo felt so bad for him he decided to just leave him be
"you would have laughed (from a safe distance)" LOVE how JRRT puts random little comments addressed to the reader
gandalf just being like ok i gotta go do other things now. good luck besties. ✌🏼😚
beorn: what are you, a traveling circus? and he is actually right 🤪
"you have got to look after all these dwarves for me, gandalf laughed" and i cried
bilbo being like hmm how will i get down from this tree (except by falling)
bilbo's song while killing gigantic spiders "not very good...but you must remember he had to make it up himself in a very awkward moment"
the dwarves starting to respect him and bowing down until they FALL OVER is such a comical image to me
the whole alluring magic of the elvish feast in the forest which disappears when they get closer!! a whole fairytale mr tolkien!!! 😍
thranduil is a greedy b <3 and especially VERY fond of wine 🍷🍷🍷
"i will lock you all in again and you can sit there comfortably and think of a better plan" bilbo badass mode and we love to see it 💋
tolkien being like WELL u can laugh but you wouldn't have done any better if u were him. real.
when they're in dale i love the numerous references to "songs and stories of old" and all of them basically being a living legend and turning their stay in dale into a public holiday and spectacle
thorin is cocky af
/freeze frame/ "you are familiar with thorin's style on important occasions so i will not give you any more of it" its ok jrrt, let him be a drama queen 👑
bilbo when he takes some gold from smaug being like "this will show them!!!1!1" 😠😠
sassy bilbo strikes again with "did you expect me to trot back with the whole hoard of thror on my back? if there's any grumbling to be done i think i might have a say" GO OFF KING 👏🏼
i just rly love him okay, he stole my heart in this book like a real legitimate professional burglar that he is
"i am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly" etc. basically this whole exchange btw bilbo and smaug is pure gold (pun not intended) 🤫
talking birds that eavesdrop. enough said.
the descriptions of the arkenstone which make you actually want to have it too. genius. there could be no two such gems, even in so marvellous a hoard, even in all the world." 💎💎💎
the harps (untouched by the dragon who had a small interest in music).. WHY is this so funny to me
bilbo putting on some elvish DRIP and being like ✨✨ i feel magnificent ✨✨ (but probably look dumb 😩)
"this is the great chamber of thror" ok thorin the tour guide king
BARD MY KING i love one (1) man 🎯
bilbo being absolutely against any wars or battles and just wanting to go home BUT also being a sneaky lil shit who takes the arkenstone to bard and thranduil BUT also still not wanting to leave his dwarf buddies
when he gives them the gem "not without a shudder, not without a glance of longing" AHHH i want it!
ambiguous gandalf returning. always love to see it
"if you don't like my burglar, please don't damage him" 🙄 ffs thorin chill
"you are not making a very splendid figure as king" yes gandalf call him out
defeat seems "very uncomfortable, not to say distressing" to bilbo. we love.
the fact that he was just knocked out cold during the battle so thur we know very little abt what really happened?? jrrt genius writing hack. might use this one 🤔
fili and kili deserved a better sendoff than just mentioning that they died. come on.
thorin's last words and reconciliation w bilbo... PLEASE I WILL CRY until i throw up. "it has been more than any baggins deserves." "no! there is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly west. some courage and some wisdom blended in measure. if more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
i might still be crying
"tea is at 4 but any of you are welcome at any time" my heart... ❤️😭 Guess he's no longer scared of running out of cake
bilbo gifting thrandy a necklace as an apology for eating and drinking his stuff secretly, king shit 😉
bilbo having the absolute NERVE to say to ELVES "your lullaby would wake a drunken goblin". wig wig
he deadass borrowed a handkercheif from freaking ELROND 😳
bilbo arriving home to being presumed dead and his stuff literally being auctioned off
"it was a long time before he was in fact admitted to being alive again…" and sackville-bagginses having sm beef with that HAHAHA
he lost his reputation but he lived his best life so who's the winner here 😌😌😌
the closing lines "you are a very fine person, mr baggins, and i am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all" "thank goodness! said bilbo laughing."
like. THIS. literally embodies everything. he is just a little guy. just some smol person. BUT STILL had a say in how BIG things happened. BUT he remains happy to be just a smol simple person.
overall an incredibly fun read and it was way more genuinely FUNNY than i anticipated. bilbo is a whole mood. thorin is a diva. gandalf is there to start shit and hype up bilbo. jrrt with random author's notes throughout the book gives me life.

Random Akitaru Obi HCs
Tumblr media
SFW::
I don't think he cares LITERALLY AT ALL about size, skinny, chunky, short, tall. Doesn't matter to him even a little bit.
No one can argue with me on this, but he's a lil dense when it comes to romance, Hinawa had to ask him a series of very targeted questions for him to put the pieces together that you were into him.
When he does realize you have feelings for him he'll act on it pretty quickly, very bluntly asking you out might I add, something like "If you really do like me that way we should go out, do you want to go on a date first?" despite that he'll take the relationship slow if that's what you want.
Good god is this man affectionate. I mean like kisses you any chance he gets, always cooing about how great you are and how he's just soo lucky. Doesn't mind pda at all, yet again, kisses you at the drop of a hat. Will chill out a bit if you're not into it but he can't help himself sometimes.
If you aren't on the fire force he will go out of his way to find you a place nearby or would have you stay with him at company 8.
Love language is for sure physical touch and quality time. He would LOVE if you hang out while he works out, would 100% ask you to sit on his back while he does push-ups. You work out with him? SWOONING. Would be your very own personal trainer. <3
Almost always has one hand on you, either a hand on your back or mindlessly rubbing your thigh with his thumb, expect random and unprompted shoulder massages, and they are the most amazing shoulder massages known to man.
Now when you're in the field he is subconsciously hyper-aware of everything you do and everything around you. If you're unpowered he's already had Vulcan make you custom equipment, if you are powered he's a little less overbearing, but not by much. After every mission, especially if it was more dangerous than usual, he'll keep an iron grip on you for an hour at the very least.
NSFW::
Okay. Hear me out... switch. A little more sub-leaning though.
Can't argue that this man isn't needy, I just know it. He craves your touch and practically whines if you deny him. The sounds he makes? Yummy~
Secretly likes when you don't let him cum, also has a deeply repressed desire to be tied up o///o
It's not that he won't it's that he physically can't degrade you. It'd make him feel bad to say such mean things when you're making him feel so good.
Has sooo much stamina it's a little intimidating, his sex drive isn't really that high but definitely has days where it's all he can think about and not even 5 rounds back to back would have him even a little satisfied.
I'm gonna say it, he's a certified thigh lover. He'll grab onto them leaving fingerprint-shaped bruises behind, he'll kiss, bite anything he can do. Is a little embarrassed at how fast he cums when he fucks them, but will rub his cum into your thighs after.
He is MESSY. Absolutely adores when the two of you are sweaty and sticky after, most of the time will make sure you've cum at least twice before even worrying about himself for 2 reasons. 1. He's very much a giver<3 and 2. Your messy blissed out expression gets him that much more excited.
His favorite position is the mating press so he can feel your thighs convulsing against him, going along with that he also likes when you sit on his face. Will also be genuinely offended if you say you're too heavy or that you're scared you'll hurt him, it'll be like "You think I'm not strong enough to handle it?"
Would only ever agree to share you with Hinawa (mostly because he knows he would say no) BUT if Hinawa did say yes the only rule would be that you can't kiss Hinawa. Obi thinks kisses are supposed to be reserved for your lover.
If either of you are mad at the other he doesn't really like to argue or yell so he'll usually fuck the life out of you and then talk about it afterward since you both are most likely calmed down. Angry sex with him is otherworldy, do what you will with that. And for those of you that love a jealous boyfriend, I'm sorry he's not that guy.

So, I saw your post about the JoongDunk, PondPhuwin, ForceBook ultimate gym bros bl. And I had a very important question.
If, hypothetically, gmmtv were to actually make this a thing. What would you want their color coding to be like? Even, how would you want their color coding to change as the fall in love?
Feel free to be as specific or generic as you like! I'm just very curious about the idea 👀
I have eighty million things to do, Anon, yet here I am, excited to answer this question, immediately! *pushes all my responsibilities to the side* There are no pictures because I'm being wild today and doing this from my WORK COMPUTER!
First, the premise of my Gym Bros BL, tentatively called
Flex Appeal
*I'm using the actors' names, but this is about their characters, not them. Force owns a gym. He has trainers Dunk, Joong, and Pond. Book and Phuwin work together at a food marketing company, so they eat a lot of snacks throughout the day. Phuwin wants to start working out and drags Book along. Dunk and Joong are super competitive, but it's all really them flirting with each other. Pond instantly likes Phuwin, but Phuwin thinks he is nothing but a meathead until he realizes Pond is super smart and kind. Book likes Force and starts bringing him tasty treats from the office during the workout sessions since he notices Force never leaves to eat properly. We could have cameos from other people who workout or companies trying to market their food. We could have Force trying to keep his business open, and Book helping him with marketing. WE COULD HAVE GYM QUEERS!
Now for the colors:
Dunk and Joong - Red Rascal and Green Guy. Dunk has the Red Rascal look aka beautiful. His character would always be up to some tomfoolery, and Joong as the chill Green Guy would always be down to join in on the shenanigans. I call them my troublesome tykes for a reason, and I think their natural personalities would easily lead to characters who are the matchmakers of the group too. Like constantly setting up situations for the other pairs to fall in love while unknowingly falling in love themselves.
Pond and Phuwin - Pond is a Blue Boy in this imagined series. He falls quickly for Phuwin and is devoted to winning him over. He is good with his hands and very intelligent when it comes to building, like say for props for an ad that Phuwin needs help with. Phuwin on the other hand is a Yellow/Orange Oddity. He is creative and works in the visuals area of the marketing department. He likes to talk and Pond likes to listen even if Pond doesn't understand it all. He wears glasses.
Force and Book - Give them the dark versus light dynamic. Force is a Brooding Boy, in black most of the time because his life has been rough, which is easy since it'll be black tanks, black shorts, black car. Yum. Then, Book is the Happy Human in his cream and white cardigans with khaki pants or some basic boy attire. Force will teach Book to take risks, and Book will open Force's heart!
Cameos:
Mix works at the company with Book and Phuwin, but he is a higher-up who we see three times. He mentions his boyfriend goes to this gym nearby, which gives the boys the idea to try it out.
Earth is the boyfriend who shows up occasionally at the gym. He never speaks. I just need to see his back tattoos.
Fourth and Gemini can play baby interns at the company who just randomly pop in with the wrong orders of coffee and the wrong mail for people.
Neo is an asshole from another rival gym who is a meathead and Phuwin's ex (see what I did there people who have been around since Neo x Phuwin?).
Louis works in the IT department, and we see him exactly once when Phuwin has to go ask for help with his work computer, and Louis notices an old picture of Phuwin with Neo on it.
Papang is the guy constantly getting hit on at the gym. It's a running joke throughout the show, but in the second-to-last episode, his HUSBAND shows up to drop off his phone since he left it at home, and it's revealed to be Mark, who appeared earlier in the season as an up-and-coming baker who the company is trying to woo, which is why Papang works out all the time since he loves his man's baked goods. Neither wears the ring because rings should not be worn when working out or baking.
Book convinces Mark to come out with a line of healthy after-workout snacks, Force is used as the model, and his gym sees a rise in customers since his gym is the only place to get these snacks, and EVERYONE WINS!
I have spent a lot of time thinking about my gym bros bl. I need it like I need air. These men are too built to let it go to waste. Film them in a gym. Just let the camera roll and half of the footage would be just them bs-ing with each other. It's a win-win for everyone involved including the audience.

Evening all :) This is the second to last ep of s2. Unreal. I LOVE this episode. For so many reasons. I think its underrated which tends to be some of my fav moments and eps with them. Love this one for couple reasons. One of them being we’re re-tapping into why Tim is the best T.O. for Lucy. Little more look into Tim’s growing feelings for her. Also their continual growth as friends and their deepening bond. I love them so much. Like I said already this ep is underrated and one of my favs and you’ll see why. Let’s get started on this goodie.
2x19 The Q Word
Tumblr media
We start off with Lucy's alarm going off for her shift. She turns it off saying how she doesn’t want to work today. (Me either girl...) We see she has a special guest with her. Heh. It's Emmett. Dude still fine as hell. Guess she finally took him up on his offer. Damn girl proud of you cashing that card in haha Way to come back into the dating world.
He tells her to be few minutes late continues on to say ‘Bradford's chill’ LMFAO Not even a little and definitely not with training Lucy. You'll experience that soon enough and see how wrong you are sir. Lucy tells him she’s in the final stretch of her training. Just 30 more days and she’ll be free. (Like you really wanna be free of Tim…we'll let you believe that though.) She is excited to be free of the mind games, Tim tests and being chewed out in public. I can’t blame her there even though it molded her into who she is now as a cop.
Tumblr media
Emmett jumps on the chance about making her late after her probation. Lucy has to basically say down boy LOL It’s honestly really nice to see how happy she is. Like I said in the last ep with Tim. With not being Lucy level happy. In this case not Tim level happy or comfortable but nice to see none the less. She clearly has allowed herself to not let Caleb drag her down as much anymore. That's a massive victory for her. Should be noted and appreciated.
Can truly appreciate the relationships they had prior and what they had to give to them before they’re together. Lucy NEEDED someone like this post-Caleb. Needed a sweet goober. I am thankful for the role Emmett played in that. Helping her start to move past Caleb and the damage he inflicted. Her commitment issues showing themselves hard when she asks him to play it cool if they run into each other. To keep them on the DL. Also I don’t blame her she’s in the home stretch of this. Wants to do a final focused push to complete her training as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We get to roll call. Grey announces today is the rookies one year mark in the program. He tells them congratulations on not washing out. Tim can’t help himself and poke the bear. Saying ‘We’ll see’ that shit eating grin of his and heart eyes I can not. How proud he is of her projecting off him.
Excuse me sir you’re doing a work flirt right in front of everyone. Look at the way he’s looking at her when he says it. A blind person could read his intentions. Her reaction is perfection. Like she can’t believe he’s doing their banter unabashedly in front of roll call… for all to see LOL Our marriage scene of the episode please enjoy.
Grey says this is the start of their 30 day push. To remind them they’re not there just yet. That they shouldn’t be celebrating until they cross the finish line. Pretty much a foreshadowing for Lucy in this ep. All of them but mainly Lucy and the SL her and Tim have in this one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Immediately following roll call we join them in their shop. Lucy mentions it’s weird they haven’t had any calls yet. Tim puts on his T.O. hat and barks ‘Crime doesn’t have a schedule boot.’ Lucy just smiles his T.O. company line having no effect on her. Tim notices it right away and asks ‘What she’s so happy about?’ Lucy plays it off says nothing. Can’t she just smile? Tim doesn’t let it go. (Wonder who he learned that from?)
Tells her she’s been doing it a lot lately is all...Lucy bites back she didn’t know being happy was an impediment to being a good cop. Tim remarks he’s just surprised she hasn’t talked his ear off about whatever it is. Tim Bradford speak for he actually wants her to. Whether he likes it or not he’s come to enjoy her sharing things with him. When she doesn't he gets antsy like in this scene. Questions what's going on with her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tim acts like he can’t stand how chatty she is. When really he can’t handle it when she isn’t sharing stuff with him. Doesn’t want to feel left out in her life. Especially since she "granted" him re-access to it in 2x17. (He always had it she just had to remind of that fact) Lucy doesn’t budge on any info. So Tim starts taking shots in the dark. Asking random questions. 'Did she rescue a kitten?' 'Adopt a star?' LMFAO Timothy what? Haha god I love this man.
Lucy tells him what early s1 Tim would’ve been thrilled to hear. That her personal life is none of his business. He smiles and says there’s hope for her yet. Ok Tim I’m sure that’s EXACTLY what you want. Smh. My god these two. Do they even realize how much flirting just went down in that interaction? The banter, the looks, the cute little smiles. Look at them in those last two gifs above. As transparent as glass. These idiots I love them so much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you needed to see their chemistry in one glorious shot. This is it. What a beautiful shot of these two. How the sun shines mostly on her is lovely nod to them as characters. They're checking in with one another silently as they hear a ‘shots fired’ call come over the radio. Processing the severity of the call together. The lighting is beautiful, the looks glorious, that silent communication ever present. I adore it.
They can hear how amped up the rookie on the radio is. Tim attaches them to the pursuit. Harper and Nolan attach themselves as well. Jackson hears his friends panicked voice. Tells Angela they we’re in the academy together. He the follows suit of the other two. Such an intense drive to where Chris and his T.O. are in pursuit.
Sadly Chris disobeys his T.O. to stay in cover while backup arrives. This kid has something to prove and leaves cover. His T.O. shouting at him to stay back. Unfortunately he’s shot instantly in the chest multiple times by their assailant. The guy takes off leaving Harper/Nolan to chase him as they arrive on scene. Tim and Lucy show up after all the chaos has ensued. Tim pulls Martinez Chris’s T.O. to the side. Says he’s going to need to talk to him since he was a witness to the shooting. Jackson decides to ride with Chris easing Martinez to go talk with Tim.

Tim then does what he does best. Deescalates the situation. This man is trying to justify himself to Tim. Tells him how he taught Chris better than that. That he’s made mistakes before but not like this. Tim is incredible in this moment. This scene shows us how good Tim is at his job. How important he knows training rookies is to T.O.’s Why Martinez is panicking like he is. Feels like he failed this kid and is spiraling.
Tim uses that common bond to get through to an emotionally heightened officer. He's coming off his rookie being shot. He's not seeing straight and blaming himself. So Tim calms him down using logic and listening to get the statement from him. The empathy and understanding that follow are a skill that was sharpened by a certain rookie of his. (So damn proud) He's trying to relay to him this wasn’t his fault. He doesn't need to defend himself to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love how he relates to Martinez in this moment. All the while he is looking at Lucy. His words carrying extra weight to them. Almost like he's telling himself this as well as his fellow T.O.. This is hitting closer to home for him than he'd like. His look says so very much to anyone who is watching closely. Eric crushing it per usual saying so much with so little. The depth of how much he cares for her at this point. The man was gone for her long before they got together. (He just hasn’t been clued in yet about that fact.)
The way his eyes dart over to her while he’s comforting Martinez. What happened to this man is Tim’s greatest fear on the job. Not preparing Lucy enough and she gets hurt as a result. If he could only realize how much he’s already impacted her. She would not have survived 2x11 if not for his training of her. 'The Cop Eyes' he instilled in her to drop that ring for him.
She had the grit and determination all her own to survive no doubt. That 'No quit' paired with his training is why she made it. If you wanted to see Tim’s PTSD in action it’s this next portion. That deep fear of losing her the way he almost did back in 2x11. This next entire scene is screaming that PTSD from that. This moment a stark reminder for him that he could lose her just as quickly on the job due to a mistake. That it would be his fault. Again.
Tumblr media
Some may think Tim is too harsh here. He’s being a dick etc. That’s not what I see here at all. I see a man in emotional panic. A spiral really. Talking to Martinez shook him more than he’s leading on. Watching his biggest fear happen to someone else is triggering his PTSD more than he'd like. We all know even with Lucy’s forgiving him how he’s still haunted by her almost death. Tim is still learning how channel his emotions. Lucy has opened a floodgate of having them and he hasn’t learned to control them just yet.
I can relate so very much. When you’ve repressed feelings for so long, then allow them to the surface they can be overwhelming. The anxiety of drowning in those emotions comes out in one of two ways. Anger or a complete shut down. For Tim anger is an old friend of his. He can’t seem to tamp down how this situation is making him feel.
Nor does he know how to deal with why it is. So he sees a small mistake she makes and lashes out. His current anxiety is manifesting into anger right now. His fear taking a life of it's own. Losing it on her over something he wouldn't necessarily been happy about but not to this current level of anger.
Tumblr media
He is panicking because after the final 30 days elapses he won’t be by her side to protect her anymore. Its a harsh reality he isn't handling too well right now. Rios being shot bringing that into sharp focus. That this could happen to her without him there to guide her. So naturally he’s going to be hard on her especially in this moment. His way of controlling it and his emotions. He just watched a rookie get fatally shot and carted off to hospital due to a small error in judgement.
All those emotions and all that panic are coming through in spades in this moment. Tim isn’t handling his emotions about potentially losing her well. It more than shows in this scene. If he was trying to hold his emotional cards close to his chest about Lucy in this scene he failed miserably. It comes out when he asks her if she wants to end up like Rios? Showing his hand so much in this scene emotionally.
Tumblr media
Now Emmett making the mistake of trying to intervene bites him in the ass badly. It’s bad for a couple reasons. The road to hell is paved with good intentions as they say. Reason one it was a terrible idea. Don’t get between Tim and his person. Emmett caught an emotionally exposed Tim and ran into an actual buzz saw doing this. Today was the WRONG day to interfere with him. Not gonna lie I do love Tim going all alpha on him. Saying she’s HIS boot. Destroying Emmett completely asking if 'He's got it? Before walking away.
Second reason it was not his best idea. Lucy. I adore her telling Emmett she didn’t need him to save her. Damn right you don’t. She is capable of defending herself especially with Tim. That's one of her super powers really. It was more embarrassing for Lucy he tried to step in to "protect" her. Not only that but mess with her work dynamic with Tim. She asked him to be cool at work and he wasn’t. Lucy makes sure he knows that before she takes off herself. She isn't a damsel in distress and lets him know. Leaving Emmett stunned.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nolan and Harper get a finger print ID off the ditched car they pursued. They’re gearing up to break into Serj Derain's. Tim knows Lucy is shaken up for multiple reasons. Her friend Chris being shot, Him chewing her out and her mini fight with Emmett. He is always thinking of her first even when he doesn’t even realize he’s doing so. It's second nature at this point. He does this by resetting her mentally before they walk in the door of this man's house.
Saying how they already lost one cop today. She’s not going to be another. He refuses to lose Lucy by her potentially losing focus in this moment. This man just knows her like the back of his hand. It always floors me. Knows innately she needs these words of focus. That her mind is elsewhere and he needs it shifted back to the task at hand. The continuous proof of why he was the perfect T.O. for her. Tim reading her emotional state and directing her emotions. This is his version of taking care of her. By telling Lucy exactly what she needs to hear before they start this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her look of understanding after he dispenses his words of wisdom to her is perfection. Complete understanding of what he's saying and doing for her in this moment. ❤️ Everything this man does for her has her best interests at heart and ultimately to protect her. (Just like she does for him) It’s a beautiful thing to watch honestly. The two way support these two have for one another. This is an underrated moment for them. I wanted to expound on it. It shows that bond they have.
That even though they’re closer than they used to be with how she can sass him from time to time when it comes down to it that instant respect she has for Tim and his guidance. It is evident in this scene. His wisdom is guiding her right now emotionally and she knows it. That when he is serious like this she takes notice and listens immediately. She would follow him into hell if he asked her to.
They get inside with no issues. He isn’t home and the house is cleared. They’re searching his home office. Lucy asks Tim what they’re looking for? He tells her anything that can tell them where he is. It’s then Tim runs across some disturbing info. Confidential Police files on the Derian’s. Makes sense why nothing has stuck to them now. Someone’s been leaking info to the Armenian mob. A dirty cop in their midst…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We rejoin them in their shop. Lucy asks if they can talk about earlier? So much has happened today he’s not sure what she means. Lucy says about Emmett. Tim is immediately defensive. Tells her nothing to say about it. He tried to tell him how to do his job. On today of all days. Tim says he doesn’t care if he’s her BF. Lucy instantly cuts him off and corrects him. Says he’s not. (ahhh Lucy your commitment issues are showing again my dear) Tells Tim he’s a little dead to her right now anyway. I’m sure in the back of Tim’s mind that gives him a little peace.
Then comes one of the best parts of the episode for them. In not so many words this scene is Tim revealing something. Showing Lucy he cares about her in the most Tim way possible. He voices in a much kinder way his fears from earlier in the ep. That yes she’s only 30 days from the finish line. What scares him is when she crosses it he won’t be there to keep her from washing out anymore. 'Or worse...' The way she looks at him when he says this *heart clutch* Tim Bradford speak for I don’t want to lose you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He solidifies it by reinforcing yeah he’s going to be tough on her. That is a straight fact. Then rolls a compliment into it as well. (How far we’ve come. *wipes tear*) Tells Lucy he’s only doing that because he KNOWS she can handle it. No one one knows her better than he does. No one will ever look out for her best interests better than he will. Or will prepare her the way he can. He only has 30 days left with her. Tim is going to make her as sharp as possible. So he can let her go when the time comes. Only way he will have peace of mind is if he does it this way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy’s reactions says it all. Beaming a little as she explains how sweet it is. She knows how he struggles with his emotions. That he tends to show them through actions rather than words. The fact that he told her this means so much. Tim in a roundabout way, told her he cares so much for her he’s afraid losing her after they're no longer riding together. That he can't protect her anymore after that. So he’s going to do everything in his power to safeguard her from this jobs worst moments and possibilities like today.
She makes sure he knows how 'oddly sweet' she finds his words. Tim is trying to bite back a smile above. That sunshine of hers seeping in just a little bit more. Trying to be a grump and be like 'That's not what I meant' when that's exactly what he meant. Revealing more cracks in that emotional wall of his. God I love it so Much.
Lucy continues on and says he’s not the one she’s mad at right now. That’s she’s used to Tim. Then he does something S1 Tim would be appalled at. Gives her advice on her personal life. Doing it not to please her or get her to stop talking. But because he genuinely cares about her. Giving me all the feels in this one. My shipper heart may implode.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tells her Emmett is a fireman. So naturally they’re idiots LOL He makes Lucy smile in a way only he can. Tim forges on saying they mean well and Emmett is a 'not bad fireman'. Tells her not to write him off just yet. That he meant well by it. Look at our boy. I’m legit beaming with pride as I write this. How far this man has come in 2 seasons hell just this season alone. Leaps and bounds all due to the the sunshine human to his right.
Lucy being herself can’t help but rib him about this. That the reason he’s giving her this advice is cause they’re friends. Honestly yeah. At this point they are. S1 finale was the start of the friends foundation but they weren't there yet. It was the beginning of that deeper bond of theirs and we’re nearing the end of s2. All that foundation has now been laid. The fruits of it are they are friends now.
Best part of this section Is he doesn’t even deny it really. He scoffs a little af first (denial isn’t just a river in Egypt Tim) but concedes at the end. The light in his eyes and the crooked smile. You know this man is happy to be considered her friend. Her confidant. Once again Eric saying so god damn much with so little. I’ll never be over how good he is with that. Like ever. Could go on for miles and miles but I won’t do that to you all haha That wraps up their scenes together in this one. SO much good content thought. Oh my lord.
Tumblr media
Sadly Chris passes away and Jackson is distraught. Lucy being there for Jackson is so sweet. Taking care of her business with Emmett but putting him first. I love their friendship. I do admire he came over to apologize and say he was wrong. Saying she’s the strongest woman he knows. That the last thing she needs is a protector. Well you as her protector yes. sorry Emmett lol That role is not meant to be yours. She has her fierce protector already. Tim is that but her emotional protector first and foremost. I mean he would smash a dude's face in for her LOL but she doesn't need that. That's it for this one. Such a good episode for them I can not.
~~~~
Side notes-Non Chenford
Longer than normal cause the entire episode is so good. The Chenford would’ve been enough but the ep being so good on top of it I’m happy.
Angela seeing Smitty’s cam footage LOL he’s such an idiot and we all love him haha sadly how she finds out Erin Cole is a dirty cop though. Or one of them…
The whole SL with Chris, Derians and Armstrong it’s so solid and stressful to watch baha his SL was shocking when I watched it the first time. Watching this squeaky clean cop fall from grace and become a dirty cop. Tragic af but compelling as hell.
Rewatching it through the eyes of knowing you can see how much he was giving away in his scenes. So sad the ending for Cole. Debt erasure is a huge motivator for most it’s truly so sad.
Watching John and Grace continue to fall apart sucks. I truly liked them more so than him and Bailey TBH. Their chemistry was evident.
Harper thanking John for all his help in getting her kid back. That she wouldn’t be here if not for him. The impact he had. Such growth for her. Since day one she has marched toward growth and where she is now. I adore her arc and how far she has come in this moment. Such an overall amazing episode. Hell of an ep before the finale.
Thank you all for the continued support through likes/comment and reblogs. Means more than I can ever say. Our next ep is the finale. Woo. I’ll see you all then :)

HOW IS IT APRIL ALREADY
who wants a chaotic life update coz here we go
We just submitted an offer on a house in palmy, eeeeeeeek. So moving to a whole other city an hour and a half away from where we currently live. Likely to be accepted and have been working through all the admin for mortgage approvals and selling our current home and buying new up there. We’ll be going from a 90m2 house to a 200m2 house on a larger section - it’s going to be hilarious to live somewhere so massive.
Antidepressants are the best things in the world I should have done them years ago.
Work is a wild shitshow, thanks to a prime minister who can’t accept that running a country and a company are two fundamentally different things. Consequently, work is currently calling for voluntary redundancies and then will kick off a change process in May. Will I have a job come 1 July? Who knows. Current math suggests job losses for ~1200 people across our 3500 ish back office staff so watch this space.
Thanks to antidepressants, I can’t even be stressed about this. It’s amazing!!!
Dave got a solid bonus this year, which is amazing. They did it so tough last year through all the flooding and having clients on suicide watch and everything else and they really Fkn earned it so yay. Waiting to find out what his pay rise will be as well.
At least both of us can keep our current jobs when we move and just commute a couple of days a week ( I’m in denial about the reality of this but anyway)
Naturally my sister and her husband couldn’t possibly be left out so have also put an offer on a house up there but it was so impulsive and a really dumb choice but it’s been accepted so their only hope now is they can’t sell their current house.
Fuck I’m glad we don’t have stamp duty in this country.
I signed up for an online bootcamp class on zoom that’s 530 every morning coz let’s be real I ain’t doing nothing after work apart from collapsing in a heap and it’s been so fun! They are v much like, this is your first start back in a while these are your regressions we expect to see you using them and then don’t shame you for it either? And are just like, too hard? Don’t use weights then? And my god is it ever a relief for my poor overweight body to not be forcing it to move in ways it can’t and reminding myself that actually I can do pretty amazing things if I give it a chance and it’s just been such a massive mental win. Maybe over the next few months I might get my eating sorted you never know.
I signed up for it as a 6 week challenge kinda thing and I’m 99% sure I haven’t lost any weight which was not at all the point of signing up for it - it was proving to myself I could be consistent with something and I’ve achieved that so yay.
Dave and I are good which is lovely. Even started talking to the counsellor about all my sex hang ups which is deeply unpleasant and awkward but at least it moving things along a bit??? 🤮🤮🤮😬😬😬😳😳
Have I mentioned lately how good antidepressants are honestly?? I have my brain back and my personality and it’s wild.
We wanna start having kids this year? Also wild.
Had a birthday and now I’m 34 and somehow it’s April? I do not understand time at all honestly.
I fucking love my new doctor he’s actually the best I will not be changing when we move.
I’m excited for a slower, quieter pace of life and more chill. I’m honestly done with my girl boss era. I’ve made the money and chased the titles and it’s exhausting honestly. (Watch this change again rapidly)
I was away for 7 of 8 weekends across Feb and March and it was INSANE. weddings. TAYLOR SWIFT ERAS TOUR!!!!! Birthdays and friend birthday and mum and I went to Pink and other birthdays and it was way too much. Oh, and house hunting mixed in. Plus ya know, a full time job in the mix.
It’s been a Fkn massive start to the year, and she ain’t slowing down any time soon.
Antidepressants man. Wild the difference they have made to my life. WILD.
Happy and grateful for my life and everyone in it and all the madness that it is right now. Someday it’ll be chill right??? I’ve been saying that since 2019 at some point I’ll accept that the answer is no.
Cool cool cool what a wild ride.

No Hard Feelings- [Five Hargreeves x F Reader]. Ch11
SUMMARY: You're Five's latest assassination target, but things don't go to plan and now he wants you as his fuckbuddy. Funny how what we want and what we need are rarely in line. (Five's physically aged up). Obvious smut warning but there's plot too, I swear! Chapter One - Chapter Two - Chapter Three - Chapter Four - Chapter Five- Chapter Six - Chapter Seven - Chapter Eight - Chapter Nine - Chapter Ten - Chapter Eleven - Chapter Twelve
Tumblr media
In this chapter: Drunk with your new relationship, you wait at home for a TV delivery. You get more than you bargained for.
Tumblr media
For once no smut below but there is violence so still proceed at your own risk.
Chapter 11: Delivery
You spend the rest of the morning and early afternoon in a state of nervous excitement. You only spent a few hours in Five’s company as an official item but you can’t wait to see him and touch him again.
Most of all, you’re looking forward to seeing him dance. You want to see him truly let loose again. Your mind conjures images of him, arms over his head and eyes closed as he jumps in time to the music, hair flying and finally not wearing a suit. You want to feel his hand on the small of your back again, you want to bury your face in his neck, his sweet-smelling soft hair. You keep recalling how he sounded when he told his family that you were his chance for happiness.
It's safe to say you’re smitten.
You keep having to tell yourself that it’s too early to get ready. You’ve allowed yourself to at least plan your outfit, choosing a velvet mini dress that will probably leave you thankful that you’re in a sweaty club rather than in the chill December air. It’s not exactly slutty but it leaves little to the imagination.
To pass the time before you can get ready, you arrange a call with Ellie. She hasn’t stopped worrying about you since Five attempted to murder you. It’s a reasonable worry and now, happy as you now are, you want to put her mind at ease. Since your almost-argument, you’ve stayed in the habit of calling her every few days, shooting the shit and advising each other on work stuff. She’s a teacher, so usually has some infuriating PTA drama to dish. You sit on the couch now, video-calling her with your phone propped on your bent knees as you drink cocoa.
Today, she updates you on the Thunderdome-like contest for PTA presidential election between two venerable mothers from opposing cliques, making you laugh so hard you spill your drink. As you wipe your streaming eyes, she asks:
“So, what’s new with you, anyway?”
You smile coyly, “You know that guy I’ve been seeing?”
“Oh, here we go. I thought you had that freshly-fucked look.”
A little line appears between her eyebrows, as it does every time you mention ‘this guy’ you were seeing casually. You know this news will somewhat mollify her. Having a boyfriend is something she understands when it comes to you: having a friend with benefits never was. 
You toss your head and lower your voice to a dramatic tone, “Well...we’re official now. Last night we didn’t just fuck...we made love.”
Her face lights up, “That’s amazing. So you’re, what, together now?”
“Yep,” you say, smiling, “I actually met his family today.”
“You what?” she says, scandalized, “how have you met his family but I don’t even know his name!”
“It wasn’t deliberate. It just sort of happened.”
“So will you finally tell me about him? Send me a picture!”
“I don’t actually have a picture of him,” you say, “he’s not on socials.”
Imagining Five with something like that is faintly ridiculous, now you come to think about it. 
“Oh,” she sounds surprised, “is he weird?”
“Yeah. Pretty weird,” you laugh - if only she knew. “He’s cute though. I’ll get a picture tonight. We’re going out again.”
“Ooh, two nights in a row!” she says, stretching out the words with affectionate, childish mockery, “you still haven’t told me his name.”
Here it comes: the explanation.
“It’s Five.”
“Huh?”
“Five.” you enunciate, “like the number.”
“Is that short for anything?”
“No.”
“Where’s he from?”
A buzz at the intercom makes you jump. Your heart flutters at the idea that it might be him, though he’s never buzzed before.
“Hold on,” you say, taking the phone with you to the door and pressing the intercom.
“Hello?”
“Delivery” says a voice. You buzz them in, smiling at your own silliness. You were hoping that maybe Five couldn’t stay away.
“Got to go,” you say to Ellie, “I’m getting a new TV delivered.”
“Okay, but call me tomorrow and tell me everything about you and…Five.” she said, clearly still unsure whether she’s pronouncing it correctly. 
“Sure. Love ya!”
At the knock, you end the call and open the door wide, allowing the delivery guy to edge the TV box inside. You retreat into the living space to give him room.”
“Thanks, you can just leave it there in the hallway.”
“Don’t worry ma’am, all part of the service. Let’s get it where it’s needed.”
“Oh, thank you.” 
You usher the guy over the threshold and indicate the living area. Setting up the new TV will be a welcome distraction from obsessing about tonight. 
“You need to sign for this,” he says, setting the box down in the TV-shaped space left by Five.
“Okay.”
The man smiles, revealing a gold tooth as he does so. He reaches for his back pocket.
Your mind goes on telling you that he’s holding a signature pad. Right up until you’re looking down the gun’s barrel. 
Tumblr media
Most of Five’s clothes are on his bed. Black suits, navy suits and a huge pile of crisp white shirts.
Other than these, he has three T-shirts, an old man flannel shirt, too-small academy shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Unless he wants to look like Magnum PI, he’s fucked.
“Idiot.” he mutters under his breath, "let’s go dancing. Yeah, great idea.”
Five instinctively dismisses whatever company’s offered by the knock at his door.
“I’m busy.”
“You sound it. It’s me and Santi.”
Upon hearing Viktor’s voice, Five relents, “Come in then.”
As Santi skips over to the toy basket and contently plays with Five’s favorite old race car, Viktor casts an eye around the chaos on the bed.
“All ok?”
“Yep. Yeah. Sure.”
Agitated, Five moves the pile of shirts as if underneath he’ll find a better option.
“You’ve been muttering a lot. More than usual. Can I help?”
“I’ll be quite alright, thank you.”
“Are you struggling to find an outfit?” 
Five doesn’t respond. He doesn’t want to admit how much this matters to him. Under the desk, Santi smashes the race car into a tin robot.
Viktor walks over to the bed, “You always dress well,” he shifts the Academy shorts and perches on the bed. “Is it the kind of place you can wear one of your suits?”
“Not really.”
Viktor considers. Always perceptive, he picks up on Five’s embarrassment, his self-consciousness and wavering acceptance of his body.
“You know, I have a pair of jeans that are a little big round the waist and I always have to roll up. I think they’d fit you.”
Five looks up, “Yeah?”
He’s trying and failing to seem less invested than he is.
“No problem if you wanna borrow,” says Viktor, pulling out one of Five’s only tees -plain black, “and they’ll go real nice with this, if you press it. Put on that pair of oxfords and you’re good to go.”
Gratitude for Viktor strong in Five’s heart, he smiles, placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Will you come with us tonight?”
“And be a fifth wheel?” Viktor laughs, “No thanks man.”
Tumblr media
You come round groaning with your face already swelling. You’re now tied to one of your two dining chairs. The ropes cut into you, constricting your abdomen and chafing your wrists. Your legs, protected by sweatpants, are the only point of contact without pain. 
“Please, take whatever you want. I don’t care. Just don’t hurt me.”
The intruder takes your other dining chair and sits down in front of you.
“You got fuck all worth stealing.”
Your chest hitches; tears roll down your face. He’s big: maybe 200 pounds of solid stuff. His eyes, ice blue, are set back in a doughy face. He must be in his fifties or sixties, with incongruous smile lines around his eyes. Though entirely bald, his chin is covered with close-cropped dark stubble. When he talks, the gold incisor catches the light. He looks at you now with an expression that could almost be fatherly.
“Now you listen, sweetie. I don’t want to hurt you. You know that, right?”
With surprisingly soft hands, he strokes your face, wiping away the  tears. 
You nod and he smiles pityingly.
“No, I don’t want to hurt you, but I do want information and I don’t want any bullshit. You aren’t going to give me any bullshit are you?”
You shake your head. Though his every touch terrifies you beyond what you would previously have defined as terror, you don’t shrink away. Instead, you freeze, enduring his caresses with no protest.
“No, you won’t give me any bullshit. I know you won’t,” he simpers, looking down at you like you’re a feral kitten in a carrier, “you and I are gonna get on great, aren’t we?”
You nod, the rate of your tears doubling. His thumb traces the line between your lips.
“Good. I’m going to show you something now, okay?”
“Okay,” you breathe. 
From his pocket, he produces a folded printout. In the image, Five is frozen mid-step, looking over his shoulder as he enters your building.
“Who's this?”
Of course it’s about Five. You should have realized: risk came with the territory of being a time-traveling super assassin’s girlfriend. Playing for time, you decide to play dumb.
“I d-I don’t-”
Sticking out one leg, the intruder kicks your chair, overbalancing you and causing you to smack your head on the wall as the chair topples. More pain and stabbing nausea flash into being. You groan as he roughly lurches forward and rights the chair.
“Who. Is. He?”
“Please.”
A backhanded smack to the face. Your aching head rings. You can feel your hair soaking with blood where you hit the wall. 
“So here’s where I stand,” he sits back down on the chair with an alarming fast change in attitude. From what seemed like irrepressible rage, he’s suddenly calm, the fatherly voice back in place.
“A couple of months ago, this man killed my brother’s boy. Cut his throat and then broke his neck. I promised that boy’s Mom, my brother’s widow, that I'd kill this fucker, and you’re the best lead I have. So are you getting the picture?”
You can only nod.
“Then start talking.”
Tumblr media
This wasn’t exactly Five’s first rodeo relationship-wise, but he’d never felt the need to impress Dolores in their first stages of romance: they’d known each other so well already. He found himself worrying about whether he’d look stupid dancing, whether he should impose an alcohol limit on himself or let the booze give him confidence, how close he was supposed to dance.
Santi had stayed in Five’s room after Viktor left, playing with some of the old toys that were his when he was a kid. Sat on his bedroom floor, Five played race cars for a while and then he played robots for a while, but he found that neither robots, race cars, or Santi’s chatter about them could keep him from falling into thought.
“Why are you not playing?” Santi said, put out after his robot had repeatedly asked Five’s to transmit data and received no reply.
“Sorry kiddo,” Five said, “I’m preoccupied.”
“What does preoccupied mean?”
“I’m distracted. I’m thinking.”
“About your girlfriend?” Santi said, pulling a face.
“Yes,” Five said, “and one day you’ll probably be preoccupied with a girlfriend or boyfriend too, so don’t you make fun of me.”
He shook his finger at Santi with faux-sternness, making him laugh.
“You loooove her,” Santi teased, “you kissed her.”
Then, as an afterthought, he adds, “That was gross.”
“Not for me,” Five shrugs, smilingly.
“Ew.”
“Okay,” said Five, “apart from the gross kiss, did you like her?”
“I don’t know. I guess.”
“I suppose you didn’t get much chance to talk,” Five said, with mild unease. He knew he shouldn’t be worrying about this, but Santi’s approval felt important.
“Would you like to meet her properly tomorrow?” he pushed, “I think you’ll like her once you get to know her.”
“Okay…” Santi said, though clearly looking upon it with trepidation. Ever since Lila came to take Santi out, Five’s been sitting on the floor where he left him.
He keeps asking himself if arriving at yours two hours early and meeting Lila and Diego later would be acceptable. It’s not that he minds appearing ‘desperate’ or whatever, it’s more that he doesn’t want to scare you away. Sure, you know each other fairly well now, and he’d never yet felt like you were getting tired of his company, but what if he overstayed his welcome? 
He dithers. He’s already made the decision to stop running away from his feelings. So why should this be any different?
Tumblr media
You’ve always been a frighteningly good liar. It comes, you think, of having to manage your mother’s emotions for her since you were four. It’s a trait you try not to abuse, but it’s undoubtedly served you well in life, particularly in the workplace, where stretching the truth with an angry client is sometimes imperative.
But with the pain, your swimming head and the tidal feeling of being on the brink of losing consciousness, lying to Monroe doesn’t come as easily. Instead, for the last - how long has it been? -  you’ve spoken only to beg him to stop, to tell him you don’t know or that he’s got the wrong apartment, but none of it works. 
“You think I like breaking such a pretty face?” he says, mopping at some of the blood with the sleeve of his jacket, “You think I like hurting nice girls like you? I got a daughter around your age.”
You just cry and he makes a noise of frustration.
“Come on, bitch. Nobody has a man come into their apartment three times a week and then doesn’t recognize him. You're telling me you’ve got so many in and out of here that you don’t pay attention?”
“-just a friend”, you croak, finally giving in and breaking your silence just for the chance of respite from the beating. Big mistake.
“And where does your friend live?”
“I do-”
“DON’T TELL ME YOU DON’T KNOW.”
Again, he pulls your chair over, your head bouncing off the table leg. You’re helpless on the floor as he kicks and kicks you. Your chest, abdomen, stomach, crotch. With a final stamp to your neck, he stops, retreating.
Weakly, you cough blood, taking in breaths that rattle and heave with agony. For the second time this year, you’re absolutely sure you’re going to die.
“Nice flowers,” says the intruder, returning from the kitchen with your paring knife in his left hand, gun still held in his right, “they from your ‘friend’?”
You don’t, you can’t respond.
He pulls your chair to its legs again with dizzying speed that brings on fresh waves of pain and nausea. The intruder holds the knife to your throat.
“Who is he?”
You say the first name that comes into your head. “Charlie. Charles Griffin”
“Good. What does he do. How do you know him?”
“W-we met at a bar. I don’t know what he does.”
“Where does he live?”
“I don’t know. Somewhere in this borough. I’ve never been.”
He presses the knife into your throat. You sharpened it earlier this week. Blood beads where the blade touches.
“What’s his number?”
You cry, helplessly. He won’t believe you, “H-he never gave me a number.”
“Bull-SHIT,” he pulls the knife down to your breast and slashes viciously, slicing your t-shirt and flesh. You make a weak noise of pain, “where’s your phone?”
“On the couch.”
“Passcode?”
You falter and he pistol-whips your already bleeding head. You manage to wheeze it out. As he scrolls, presumably through your contacts and calendar, you spit more blood and try to screw up the rest of your courage. You try to control your breathy sobs and ignore the pain. If you can just hold on…
Presumably finding nothing helpful, (you sure as hell don’t have the real Charlie’s number), the intruder pockets your phone.
“You didn’t need his number. Because you met regular?”
You nod.
“So, what? You fucking this guy?”
“No!” 
But you say it too quickly. The inflection of your voice tells him all he needs to know.
“Ah…” he says, a smile of understanding spreads over his face, “so you’re his whore?”
You don’t respond.
“That makes sense. What- he comes here a few times a week, fucks you and keeps you in designer shoes?” 
He muses, “And didn’t even give you his number. I gotta hand it to him: it’s efficient.”
Tumblr media
Five, having made the decision to throw caution to the wind and arrive at yours early, immediately chickened out. He thought that perhaps it would be a better move to respect your privacy. He might have sought a woman’s opinion on the issue, but since Lila was the only one in the house, he decided against seeking it: trapping his balls in a vice would be preferable. 
Instead, he snuck through the house and to the gym, trying to avoid his siblings. There, to pass the time, he worked out before leaving it to shower and shave. He took extra care styling his hair and choosing fragrance, all the while scolding himself for being frivolous.
Now, right on time, he walks towards your apartment building in company with Diego and Lila, passing a delivery van. Were the doors not closed, they might have seen the driver, bound and gagged in the back of his own vehicle.
Punching in the passcode, Five looks at the other two like they’re unruly children.
“You wait here.”
“Nope,” says Diego, eyes alight with mischief and shouldering the door before Five can stop him, “I want to see if her taste in wine really is as bad as her taste in men.”
Five scowls but doesn’t really protest as Lila follows Diego inside.
In the mirrored elevator, Five pulls at his t-shirt. He’s more uncomfortable back in casual clothing than he’d anticipated. He should be ok once he gets a drink in him. He smooths his hair.
Lila catches his eye in the mirror, “Don’t worry, you look just as shit as usual.”
“Don't listen brother; I'm seeing a total stud," says Diego, with more than a hint of irony.
Five turns to him and smiles genuinely, "Thanks Diego. Just nervous, I guess."
Lila and Diego exchange a look, eyebrows raised. This is out of character. They follow at a slight distance as Five leaves the elevator on your floor, smoothing his borrowed jeans.
“Awwh, widdle Five’s in wove,” whispers Lila
“I know...our little psycho's all grown up.” 
They watch him rock for a moment on the balls of his feet, hand reaching to straighten the tie he's not wearing before knocking smartly. As they join him and wait, he cocks his ear as nothing happens.
Knocking again, he calls your name through the door. 
Tumblr media
You don’t think you could reply even if you tried. The intruder holds the gun to your forehead, his voice low.
“That him?”
Even the tiny shake of your head sends boiling waves of pain around your bashed-in skull.
“Don’t lie.”
“'s my brother,” you whisper, under your breath.
“Stay quiet.”
Tumblr media
“This…isn’t good” murmurs Five.
“She could have come to her senses and run for the hills?”
“This isn’t right.”
He presses his ear to the door. Nothing. There’s only one thing for it. He blinks in. Lila, with an exasperated look at Diego, imitates Five.
Tumblr media
Mike jumps. With his gun still held to the woman’s head, he turns and sees him. It’s the man he’s been looking for.
“You!”
The girl served her purpose after all. Before Charlie or the woman somehow beside him can move, Mike blows the girl’s brains out.
It’s the last thing he does before Five is upon him, snapping his neck like a dried twig.
Dropping the intruder, Five looks down at her, his chest heaving with rage, despair and adrenaline.
Diego manages to burst through the door.
“Oh Five, Oh shit. Oh Five, I’m sorry.”
“No,” says Five. It’s a flat refutation.
Five tries to clear his mind and clenches his fists, but nothing happens. No glow, nothing. His breath hitches, a familiar fear falling like darkness in his mind. He looks down at her broken body; her poor, destroyed head. All his fault. Again - it’s all his fault.
"I can't."
Diego, realizes what he's doing: "Yes you can. Come on!"
He tries again, to push down the despair and do what he was made to do. Seconds is all he needs...so why is this so hard? As his face screws with concentration and he feels it. He feels his chest begin to roil with power and static; and then he can. He pulls, he claws back time. He reverses the seconds that separate him from her; that separate her from life. In graceful slow motion, Diego disappears and the splintered door drifts back into solidity. The intruder’s posture becomes again upright as his neck un-snaps. His bullet retreats from her head, the gunshot resonating in reverse. As her brain repackages and her skull reforms, her eyes open. Slowly, blearily.
As Lila dematerializes beside him, Five wrenches his body forward, dragging himself towards her, fighting the implacable resistance of contracting time. Sweating, he pulls himself, as if through molasses, into position. Finally, his hand wraps around the intruder’s gun
Tumblr media
“That him?”
And then, the gun is wrenched away from your head. The intruder is pulled roughly off you and you see him; Five. He grapples with him as Lila appears suddenly at his side.
You try to move. But then the world pulls away.

OMG! Bestie! Joel and Bambi's interactions are sooooo much!!!!! 😱😍I loved the chapter so much that I'm not even annoyed at the cliffhanger at the end! Is it your intention to overstuff us with so much fluff and sweetness we won't get too mad when all the angst comes? I don't care if it's or not. I take it all anyway! LOL.🤣
Joel opening Bambi's gift reminded me of the first episode when Sarah gave him his birthday present. Reading your words, I pictured him having a similar expression, surprised but all happy and elated, and feeling all the thought and work Bambi has put into the guitar strap. They care so much for each other! Seeing her so comfortable with Joel, craving his touch and company, and being able to tease him and Tommy makes me so happy for her. I could keep going like this for hours, so I should better not start talking about the forehead kiss… I will only say my smile couldn't have been bigger as I read it, and the whole moment bantering about the movie and the movie itself! This chapter was a pleasure to read.
What surprised me was the feeling I got after reading the chapter. Usually, I tend to overthink what'll happen next, especially when I feel we're getting into the thick of the plot, but not this time. Don't get me wrong, I still have lots of questions, and I'm still dying a little bit wanting to read the next chapter, but this time, I felt peaceful, like I was happy just waiting and being here for the ride with fellow readers and being surprised with each update. I don't know if I'm explaining myself or just rambling, soo…. I'll just say thank you for this chapter and this beautiful story that has craved a sweet place in my heart.♥️♥️♥️
AHHHH BESTIE!
Before I dive into this can I just say? I love your asks so much, they always make me happy.
ANYWAY IN WE GOOOO
LMFAO not my CONSCIOUS intention but... You're going to need a reason to want these two to work their shit out when the time comes. I'm trying to make sure those reasons are VERY VERY CLEAR so y'all want these idiots to figure it out as much as I do lol
And OMG Joel was trying SO HARD to be chill when opening Bambi's gift. He was so touched and excited but also like "NOPE SHE'LL FREAK OUT IF YOU FREAK OUT GOTTA BE CALM ABOUT THIS DON'T. SPOOK. THE. PRETTY. GIRL. STAY. CALM." They're just so closely bonded now that I can't, I can't with them I love them so much and just... yeah. I know I wrote it but it really doesn't feel like I did much? I feel like I watched these two fall in love with each other and then just wrote down what they did, I'm nothing but an observer and I just adore them.
Next chapter is going to be big. Very very big. Lots is going to happen. So much. I'm not sure how long it's going to take me to write honestly because I'm debating about breaking up this chunk into multiple chapters so it's not too much? I'm not sure what the answer is yet but it will be out within the next few days. It's what I'm writing next (after this one shot that I'm working on right now) and I might write this whole chunk and then decide about a chapter break if I think it needs one and put things up close together... anyway, I gotta figure it out.
Thank you so much for reading and for writing me!! I love that you're here and I love you, too!

Hiiii!!!!! please please pleaseeeeeee keep writing for sammy fabelman😭 (pref gender neutral or male reader) maybe meeting his parents and family for the first time? also please tag me in any sammy writings i love them!!!!!
remember to drink water!! <3
Tumblr media
gif cred: @manderley
ask and you shall receive!
meeting the fabelmans - headcanon (gn!reader)
sammy would speak low of his family, not in a nasty way, just because he knows that his family will 100% embarrass him.
mitzi will show you embarrassing baby photos. his sisters will ask you intrusive questions, and burt will ask if you're up-to-date with the news on computing science and bore you to death.
but the biggest worry was the family secret - he hasn't told you yet. how can he introduce his parents to the love of his life when their own marriage is falling apart?
you, on the other hand, were estatic to meet sam's family.
if you're jewish, you'd find comfort in meeting another family just like your own; as sammy is the only other jewish person in the school.
if you're not jewish, it's not a concern; the fablemans have no quarrems with that kind of thing, and that's all that matters.
mitzi would suggest going on another camping trip, using the bonding moments to get to know you and let you see what activities they like to do as a family
burt, however, suggests just inviting you over for dinner; not to get you too overwhelmed. "nothing beats good company while eating a nice meal."
ultimately it's up to sammy how he'd like to introduce you, and ends up going with the dinner option.
"at least it's easier to run off from a dinner table than the middle of a forest" his excuse was.
you ask "what makes you think i wanna run off?"
"not you, per say. was thinking more me running away, to save me any embarrassment"
you try your best to make a good first impression
wearing your best clothes, polished your shoes, got your mum to bake a cake as a gift.
sammy insisted you didn't need the cake, so when you arrived with it in hand, you felt a bit foolish.
but as mitzi opened the door, and her face lit up at the sight of you (glimpsing the cake) you felt less nervous.
you're welcomed with open arms. literally. the minute burt took the cake with thanks, mitzi engulfed you into a hug.
"you never told me they were so handsome/pretty, sammy" she says
sammy rolls his eyes "yeah, forgot to mention that obvious bit of information"
everytime sam makes a sarcastic remark, you shoot him a stare like "chill out, ok?" and he tries to calm his nerves.
the fabelmans took their turn in talking with you.
you chat with reggie and natalie while mitzi cooks, chuckling at the cheeky remarks they make about there brother
"we never thought he would date anyone!" they both giggled.
"fun fact, it was actually me that spoke to him first, he was so shy" you told.
their giggles grow in volume, "that's no surprise!"
sammy sinks lower in his seat. wishing he could disappear.
like sam guessed, when you all sit at the table and grab servings, burt asks you questions about school; what you're studying, what job you want to persue, do you think about going to college, etc.
you tell him about your ambitions, and he seems impressed.
he talks rambling about computing science, telling you how it'll kick off in the next decade, and it's a good profession to get in.
"they don't wanna do that stuff, dad," sammy sighs.
"no no no, keep going mr. fabelman, it sounds really interesting"
you genuinely are interested, seeing a father be so excited about something. but you also wanted to playfully nudge sammy, knowing it'll annoy him.
you talk to benny also, erupting in laughter at his silly stories and bent-double jokes.
sammy seems a little tense when you talk to him, but you try to shrug it off.
if only you knew what was really going on.
finally, mitzi has her moment to shine with you. you gives you random compliments, getting and giddy and saying "oh my boy is so lucky!" and it makes you blush.
after dinner she goes to her piano and asks you your favourite song. the family chant about how talented she is at piano, and you're eager to listen.
"i really like that one song on the radio, oh i can't mind the name..."
"i know exactly which one it is!"
mitzi stretches her fingers and begins to play. you know it immediately, looking to sammy with a smile. he smiles back, glad to see you happy.
by the evening, you thank the fabelmans for the wonderful meal, and expressed how you genuinely enjoyed yourself.
they welcomed you so fluently, it was a surprise. you were gratified by their generousity and kindness.
"you're welcome anytime," they say, insisting sammy to bring you every weekend.
sammy begins to walk you home, growing silent. he lets out a distressed sigh.
"wasn't so bad, was it?" you say.
"surely you get that most of that was all a front," sammy rolls his eyes.
"and what? all families have their skeletons in the closet. my family has a chest full of them!"
sammy stops in his tracks, staring in a cautious matter, as if he wanted to tell you a secret. you grew worried.
"there's stuff you don't know, okay? and... i'm just not ready to tell them. one day i'll tell you, but right now, i feel like i can't tell anyone, like i have to die with this secret."
you could almost feel the weight on his shoulders. your eyes grew in sympahy.
you wrapped your arms around his shoulders and planted a kiss on his lips, him reacting swiftly and returning the favour; your embrace soothing him.
you pulled away, looked into his eyes, and say "you can tell me when you're ready, i'm here for you; always,"
sam smiles, appreciative of your gentle sympathy. he walks you the rest of the way home, holding your hand in his.

Autumn Fan| Glitch!Turbo x Human! Reader
Tumblr media
Context: Turbos body cannot handle the sudden changes to his world to our world, so he will glitch to his regular form (Turbo) to King Candy, and his Cy-Bug form based off of his emotions (sorta like turning red) aggressive emotions (anger, obsession, and jealously) will be his cy-bug form, happy emotions (joy, excitement, and hyper) will be his King Candy, other emotions (fear, disgust, etc) will be in his Turbo form.
Tw: Harassment
🎃3rd Pov 🍁
You had your Nintendo in hand while silence went through your shared home, you lived in Louisville at the highlands where allot of stuff for tourists to do to keep themselves entertained while they're here, you worked as an Animator for a company in California, so you manly worked online. It was your day off and you were burnt the hell out, so a little you day...Until someone decided to make a loud bang from the basement, you watch the basement door open and turbo came out, he was your childhood obsession, but then he died off once you hit Highschool for grade purpose, but then turned out, he was obsessed with you and assumed you were his best friend ever and successfully go into your world "what was that?" he sat next to you and moved closer to you and leaned his head on your arm, he had messy, black hair and an over sized shirt that you used to own before you caught him sniffing it, so it's his now "I woke up in that cy-bug form, it's so hard to change back" he rubbed his eyes "would you like a cup of coffee, Turbo?" "that would be lovely" you got up and made him a cup of coffee a Disney cup from your senior trip of Highschool,. You walked over to him and hand him the coffee, you turned on the TV and scrolled on YouTube, you see allot of fall tiktok compilation "Turbo, did you get into my YouTube account again?" "no" he took a sip of his coffee and glitched to King Candy, you shrugged and pressed play, you checked the date and it was recent! you pulled out your phone and pulled up Target, Walmart, and Bath & Body Works and their Fall collection has finally came out! you snap your head to Turbo where he happily sip his coffee while having his arm wrapped around his "Turbo!" you excitedly exclaimed, he jumped and turned into his Turbo form "yes,dear?" "how about you come with me for some shopping for fall stuff?" "don't you have allot of fall stuff in the basement?" "yes, but your cotton candy webs got all off them, so they're yours now" he blushed when a couple of glitch effects came out as his over 30 ft cy-bug form burst between the two of you "I guess that's a yes?" "of course!" he yelled as he grabbed your waist and held you tightly.
It took awhile to pry your way out of his grasp and calm his obsessive behavior and went into the car, you drove over to the near by Target and went inside with Turbo next to you, you grabbed the cart and forced Turbo to get in, so you wont lose him. You walked over to the food isle and met with pumpkin spice everything, from Oreo's, to coffee creamer, and pancake flavors. you weren't a psychopath to buy everything that has the work pumpkin, you grabbed a pancake badder box and coffee creamer then went to the home section "cute pillows and decorations!" you pushed the cart towards the decor "how long are we gonna be here?" turbo groaned as he picked under his nail "i'm unsure, how long do you want it to be?" you sarcastically said before giggling "I assume that's your kid?" a random voice piped up, it was a teenager who looked liked about in Middle School, just a group of kids "uh" you and Turbo looked at each other then back to them "no" "young cousin?" "no, dirt bag, they're my lover" Turbos patients is usually very short, but he managed to calm down quick "chill, Turbo" "nice costume, kid, takin' it seriously for your Guardian to call you from the video game that you didn't know when you were born" "excuse me!' he yelled as tiny glitches, he was getting pissed off even more "Turbo, stop. Just ignore them" he growled and sat back down "guys, I assure you that you three also never played Turbo Time too. As someone who played the game and watched the Cartoon adaptation of it as a kid, it quite idiotic of you three" you calmly explained as you turned away and moved to a different section of the area.
"How did you managed to do that so easily?" Turbo said surprisingly "well, there's this thing called, being an adult and though's type of kids are just begging for attention" "oh, har,har,har" turbo sarcastically laughed while crossing his arms. As you both left the store with the bags in hand, you saw the group of kids left the store with nothing, they looked at you two and back to them. You hoped they don't pull out their phones because you know what they mean "Turbo, would you please walk in front of me?" he looked up at you and obeyed you, you looked behind you and they were (It's almost 1am, so my spelling and grammar is getting wonky) you sighed and covered your face and told Turbo to walk a bit faster, he was confused and asking you why, but you just said "don't worry about it" only for him to look over and see them pointing their phones at the two of you "what happens of being an adult?" Turbo asked "adults don't interact with this type of situations, if they are minors" "It's for your own safety, (Y/N)!" "they are going to look back to this and cringe about it and wanting to apologize, Turbo!" "and what if they didn't?" Turbo raised his voice a bit "well, they're going to get they're teeth punched in when they said it or do something to the wrong person" "Hey, pedo-bear!" one of the kids yelled you pushed Turbo to your car, but he had enough. You wanted him not to start a scene and he understands that, but when it's someone that you don't know personalty whose also starting a scene and you just let it happen because your an adult crossed the line! While pushing him to your car, he glitched and turned to a cy-bug that you were familiar with "Turbo, no!" you yelled, he ran towards the three kids in rapid pace "you three really crossed the line this one, (Y/N) might've been less confrontational but I am a whole different person" his face glitched as other customers scrambled to run away from the outside and people from the inside ran away near the exit, obviously immature Middle Schools students didn't take it seriously, he sprout his wings and grabbed the kids before flying up into the sky "Turbo! Stop!" you yelled for him to come back down and have a conversation between them, but he was too far away for him to hear you "Turbo!" you yelled at the top of your lungs, but he still wont hear you.
In the sky, Turbo held one kid with a death grip and held the other kid by his teeth from their shirt, all of them dropped their phones and watched them shatter on the ground from impact "be sure to think before you say anything" he managed to say through gripped teeth.He dropped the kids and watched them fall, they all screamed and you were just in utter distress, you were already traumatized enough when we went into your world along with the cy-bugs just to find you. Before they hit the ground, Turbo grabbed them, but used his arms to hold two and the other to hold by his crab like feet with candy corn stripes "have I made myself clear?" he smiled widely to show his fangs "yes,yes! very much yes!" "good!" he dropped the kids on the ground and went back to you, he was now calm and now he would turn back into his regular form "I think you made your point quite vividly, Turbo" he nodded and went into the car, as you were turning back to see where you are going, you saw the kids parents running up to them, perfect timing. You drove up to the parents "hi, they've been harassing me and my boyfriend around the store. I was wondering if you could do something about that?" "how come you didn't report it to the manager?" the dad asked "I just thought that telling the parents would better" you smiled at the parents warmly "I'm sorry about our kids behavior, we'll do something about that immediately" "okay! thank you" you rolled up your window and drove away, and Turbo watched every last part when the parents ripped them a new one
"So, Bath & Body Works?" Turbo asked "yes! I had this coupon ever since this morning! buy 1 and get 1 free" you smiled as you drove away from Target, Turbo always adore listening to you rant about a topic you would love, even if it's boring. he glitched to King Candy.

halloween event plotting & starter call for hwevent14! 
hello! please LIKE this call and i’ll send you a message about plotting if we haven’t talked event stuff yet. or if you’d rather, please REPLY to this call and request halloween ball event starters-- but tell me who for, who from, & please limit yourself to requesting only three total per mun so i can write with everyone. unless there’s more than three you really want in which case it’s a soft limit
also, fully said “fuck it” and am only describing their costumes/outfits in words rather than images, because pinterest is my personal hell and i am lazy when it comes to graphics
even though i’m a mess i’m excited to plot!!! so here’s the info!!!!!
wei wuxian-- (6/?) -- for lan wangji (tragcdysewn), childe (masqce), the corinthian (softsliders19), jester lavorre (circleofstarrs), lan jingyi (coreofgold), victor salazar (hiddenpxpercuts)
halloween is wei wuxian’s season. since the ball’s only on the 8th, it’s not technically his birthday yet, but he’ll be treating it like it is. you won’t find him alone at this ball; he will inevitably have plenty of company from people he’s dragged onto the dance floor or over to the bar. he is NOT the designated driver for the evening, because he can’t drive. therefore, he will be drinking. a lot.
he will definitely be in some kind of mix of costume-and-formal? costume that could pass as formal if you squint. costume but elevated. he’d pick something from movies and i’m currently thinking he’d be jareth from labyrinth-- flowy shirt, tight trousers, tall boots, and some kind of super wild, shimmery mask with horns.
martin blackwood-- (3/?) -- for elphaba thropp (tragcdysewn), satine kryze (mischiefmuses), kenna de poitiers (hxartbreaker)
social events still make him feel uncomfortable and like he doesn’t really know what to do with himself. martin finds parties supremely awkward if no one talks to him so please bring him some chill company. otherwise, he’ll just wander around glass-in-hand and desperately pretend like he has somewhere to be.
he’s dressed as a pirate, re-using some of the costume pieces that he’d gotten at the renn faire, and his mask is like a wesley-from-the-princess-bride sort of eye cover deal. 
yuri plisetsky-- (3/?) -- for elizabeth midford (drvcxrys), katie gardner (stcrlvght), yuuri katsuki (hiddenpxpercuts)
city events that yuri’s previously attended have not, historically, ended well, so he’s a little apprehensive about the situation. however, he has enough acquaintances in the city at this point that he’s sure he can find people to keep company with. he’s also good at dancing, actually, so he might check out the dance floor for a bit.
he’s wearing an old ice skating costume that was bird-themed, so it’s mostly black-and-silvery fabric that looks like feathers-- it’s sort of a one-piece situation, with trousers and long sleeves all connected. and his mask will be feathery as well. he’d be more comfortable if they let him wear his ice skates in the white house as well but unfortunately he’s in dress shoes.
orpheus-- (2/?) -- for eurydice (youllalwaysbemyporcelain), annabeth chase (drvcxrys)
he loves this! how exciting! so many people and things to look at! honestly he’ll probably get overwhelmed with how much visual stimulation there’ll be inside and will end up out in the gardens sooner rather than later, but he’ll really enjoy himself regardless. 
he’s dressing as the scarecrow from the wizard of oz. his mask will be decorated with straw and bits of flowers. his whole outfit is all very handmade and chaotic.
wen kexing-- (1/?) -- for zhou zishu (youllalwaysbemyporcelain)
this is the kind of high-class nonsense that wen kexing fucking adores. a place to look great, rub elbows with powerful people, and have an audience for all of his chatterbox bullshit. he is the kind of person who will come talk to you for two minutes and then you turn around and he’s already moved on to his next target, the only exception being zhou zishu, who he will probably end up dragging around with him.
it’s hard to dress up when you already dress your best every day (lmao i hate him), but he’ll pull out all the stops for this formal outfit, and his mask will be shiny and elaborate, with lots of large ornamentation.
noah czerny-- (2/?) -- for blue sargent (irresistiibles), emmett cullen (stcrlvght), josie saltzman (hiddenpxpercuts)
he’ll be looking for his friends and roommates in the crowd, most of the time, and making his way through the white house, since he’s never been here. he’s pretty quiet company for the most part but if a good song comes on, he’ll definitely jump on the dance floor
he’s not really in costume??? or dressed up, either??? but he’ll be doing his best to keep a basic masquerade mask on, in the nature of participating in the event
xie lian-- (5/?) -- for sophie hatter (mcrcki), thanatos (tragcdysewn), xiao lanhua (tragcdysewn), mu qing (masqce), hua cheng (coreofgold)
on one hand, too many people in masks makes him distinctly uncomfortable for bai wuxiang-related reasons, so he’s not 100% loving that aspect of the ball. but on the other hand, this sounds like such a lovely event, and he’s really looking forward to the opportunity to celebrate. he’s going into it with a forcibly positive attitude: everyone in the city that he cares about is here, so that’ll be fun!! definitely!!
he was in town last year for halloween but still doesn’t totally understand the concept? so i think he’ll try to borrow a nice formal suit from someone, probably in a color other than white for once, and find a mostly-wire half-mask to wear.
blathers-- (4/?) -- for rowena ravenclaw (mcrcki), binx choppley (irresisiibles), missandei (impcrfct), vision (dcpravities)
blathers is another character of mine who is in his element when surrounded with potential conversationalists. he’ll probably spend a good deal of time out in the gardens, because how are you meant to chat when the music on the dance floor is so incredibly loud? 
blathers, the art enthusiast, is dressed as “the son of man” painting by magritte? the one with the man in a top hat with a lime in front of his face. so he’s mostly wearing formal wear, with a lime-themed mask. it’s a little obscure but he will definitely tell you all about it if you ask.
he xuan-- (1/?) -- for shi qingxuan (irresistiibles) 
he’s not having a great time in general lately, but what else is he going to do but get dragged along to this thing? if he’s got to be trapped in the middle of an existential crisis, at least there’ll be free food here, which is definitely where he will be spending most of his time: by the banquet tables. 
he’s wearing an all-black ensemble that is slightly more formal than what he wears every day, and his mask is black with a few hints of shimmery gold. he would mostly blend into the crowd.
sha hualing-- (3/?) -- for sprig plantar (youllalwaysbemyporcelain), attina (circleofstarrs), kang sae byeok (impcrfct)
she will be sneaking around and trying to cause trouble, because to restrain her to do otherwise would be an exercise in futility. good luck if you try to deal with her.
will be wearing as little clothing as possible, because apparently despite the chilly weather, this is the part of the year where she can get away with that. is it a costume? is it formal wear? who knows. it’s some see-through fabric and ribbons held together with a hope and a prayer, more than anything. and her mask will be see-through as well, because she’s got too good a face to cover up.
liu qingge-- (2/?) -- for jacen solo (impcrfct), jessica hamby (hxartbreaker)
this man is tense. he does not want to be here, and he is not having a good time. probably spending most of the night monitoring the other peak lords from a distance so that they don’t embarrass themselves, because someone’s got to do it. 
will be wearing his normal everyday hanfu etc, except wearing a paper mask he bought on the street corner outside for a dollar, because apparently you’re supposed to wear masks for this thing
loid forger-- (1/?) -- for diana holland (youllalwaysbemyporcelain)
he is here because his family is here, so obviously he had no choice but to come. will spend most of the night eavesdropping on all of the esteemed guests here and monitoring the situation rather than having fun, because he wouldn’t know how to have fun if it killed him. 
he will be dressing formally in a tux and dress shoes, and his masquerade mask is black and white and doesn’t particularly stand out but still looks nice. 
dongfang qingcang-- (2/?)  -- for henry creel (mischiefmuses), edward teach (softsliders19)
will be staying only as long as functionally necessary to make an appearance. his relatively haughty demeanor probably intimidates a number of people to stay away, which is what he would prefer. no one in their right mind would want his company anyway, because he is terrible at conversation lol
will also be dressing formally, and wearing a fairly ostentatious mask that’s a very deep purple.
again, thanks in advance for your starter requests!!!!!!!!!
