keeping score | matt & chris sturniolo.
prologue: 'they say love is the sixth sense that destroys all other five senses’
authors notes: 1.9k, explicit language, reader discretion is advised. welcome to my first series, please enjoy the ride.
Tumblr media
they both want you. the only way matt and chris can agree to settle who wins is through competition, one where you’re the prize. your own heart is torn between the two brothers. the thing is though, love doesn’t keep score.
they have two very different experiences to offer. two sides of the same coin. a coin you refuse you flip and settle on.
matt is the first to catch your eye in any room. he makes you nervous. butterflies, stuttering, awkward laughs, stuttering over your words. all of it. you like him. you’re unsure if he feels the same toward you.
however, you also like chris. the compliments he showers you in, the subtle flirting, the way he softens his tone around you, how giving he is, the way he’s so shamelessly himself. the list goes on. he’s different. 
it’s a weird triangle of intrigue and unrequited feelings that lingers and is never acknowledged.
you’re already convinced it’ll never happen. with either of them. you’d be putting too much at risk considering how deeply you value your friendship before anything else. the fear of falling in love, and losing them both. 
which might just be your karma for being into both brothers. 
they occupy the living room. you’re upstairs, using nick’s bed to take a nap while he showers, and he takes long showers. he’s always given you a safe space in the house, to make it feel like home. 
you love to annoy chris and matt by stealing their clothes, blankets, soft drinks out of the fridge, tagging along to every late night drive and fast food pick up. 
they share everything with you, but you designate yourself in nicks’s room as to not stir up any terrible, rash decisions on your accord.
being fast asleep and tangled up in crisp, cold, silk sheets, it’s a deep sleep. completely escaping into your dreams.
you’re left unaware of the chaos that’s about to ensue in the living room between the two brothers who occupy your mind. chaos is the score in which reality is written upon.
“you like y/n, right?” matt asks chris. 
you’ve had a strange feeling for a while now that matt is trying to set you up with his brother. which, as flattering as it is, it’s bittersweet. 
matt is sinking lazily into the lounge while scrolling through his phone, on the furthest left. chris is on the furthest right with his feet kicked up on the coffee table. 
they’re in direct view of each other on the L shaped couch. not in a literal sense, just in proximity. neither brother is actually looking up from a screen of some kind.
“what?” chris snaps his head toward matt, diverting from the television for a moment. 
“just answer the question.” matt huffs.
“of course i like y/n. she’s the closest person in our life besides like, nick” chris shrugs, going to look back at the screen again. 
matt groans in disappointment at his response. 
“you know i don’t mean it like that.” matt sits up slightly, readjusting his position and posture.
“god here we go again.” chris runs a hand down his face, fearing his brother's next words. 
“how do you really feel about her?” matt pries. 
unusual for him. out of character even, chris is usually the one who needs to know everything all the time, and is never afraid to ask the hard hitting questions, as annoying as it may be. but not with this topic of conversation.
the difference is, chris does it because he’s genuinely curious. matt asks questions for his own selfish reason, to chris’s oblivion. 
chris needs reassurance that he’s making the right decision in not pursuing you. matt needs to know if or when he’s going to have to compete. little does he know that time is nearing. 
“man, i don’t know. i just- i like her. can’t we leave it at that?” chris’s tone is anguished. 
“you’re avoiding the question-”
“i answered your question!” chris cuts matt off before he can fully form his sentence, and matt’s jaw tightens. 
“fine, whatever.” matt waves his hands in the air with defeat before diverting back to his phone, leaving chris to linger on his words.
“i’m never gonna make a move. i know how you feel about her, too.” chris huffs, as though he’s annoyed at the response he’s had to give.
“what’d you mean?” matt gives chris a glare, like he’s daring his next words.
“you know exactly what i fuckin’ mean” chris scoffs, shifting in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest and pulling the sleeves of his gray hoodie past his knuckles.
matt takes a loud inhale through his nose and exhales through his mouth 
“we can’t just keep pretending that we both don’t want her.” matt drops his phone onto his stomach face down, being slightly slumped. 
“i’ve been fine pretending” chris throws the hood of his sweatshirt over his head to hide his eyes more from matt, a natural reaction to not enjoying the grilling. 
“well if you don’t make a move, i will.” matt’s tone is serious.
“you wouldn’t.” chris deadpans, a sincere tone of disbelief seeping from his lip that he’s now biting the corner of.
“you’ve been saying you’re gonna make a move forever and haven’t done shit."
he knows it’s not nice, but there’s something about the lack of passion from chris despite the obvious crush just makes matt's skin crawl. if someone is going like you and not do anything about it, matt is more than willing to shoot his shot, give you what you deserve. 
“that’s not fair” chris twists his face, glaring at his brother. 
"i think it’s more than fair play at this point, kid.” matt scoffs.
if looks could kill, matt would be dead.
all those times you’ve perceived matt bringing up chris to entice you have just been a ploy to gauge how both of you feel. he knows it’s manipulative, but no harm, no foul.
the worst part is, chris isn’t actually even sure he wants a relationship. he’s infatuated by you, undoubtedly. matt on the other hand would marry you with a paper ring. 
they’re both scared of their own feelings, and the intentions that might come along with them. they don’t ever want to hurt you, but their carnal desire is misleading their moral compass.
“alright then,” chris starts, matt’s words hitting a nerve for him. he slaps his hands onto his thighs and sits up in his spot. 
“how do we settle this? who gets her?” chris continues, staring at his brother intently now.
“i don’t think we get to make that decision.” matt shakes his head, bringing his hand to his mouth as he begins to bite his nails, which muffles his words.
“you’re right, we don’t. but we’re gonna have to compete for it to even be an option.”
“compete” matt repeats chris’s words with a sour huff, a slight arrogance in the sense that he doesn’t view his brother as a threat. 
not when it comes to you, and there might be a small part of that statement that’s correct. you have a sweet spot for matt, which fires up chris even more. he is conscious that he’s the underdog, as much as you try to show an even amount of attention to the both of them.
“what’s wrong? you scared you’ll lose?” chris taunts. 
“that’s the least of my worries.” matt scoffs, his mind traveling down every possible path this terrible idea could go down. 
“fine, then you won’t be afraid of a little competition.” chris says nonchalantly, pushing back with the same energy matt’s been giving, turning the tables.
“what’s your plan here? we just tally up the moments we get with her until someone wins? to boost our own egos?” matt speaks with his hands.
“i do love to have my ego stroked” chris grins to himself, the thought of you crossing his mind as the words leave his mouth. his train of thought tends to wonder easily.
“seriously, chris, how do we plan on settling this?” matt rubs his hands together, like the action you do when you’re trying to stay warm. 
“i think there’s only one answer to that.” chris responds, in a “duh” tone, without explicitly sharing what’s on his mind.
their sixth sense of being able to unpack each other's minds sparks like an electrical fault in the moment. of course, neither of them hate the thought of getting you in bed. they just hate the thought of you being unaware. 
somehow it’s more challenging than falling in love, or securing a relationship. betting to sleep with you is actually the hardest challenge of them all, let alone covering all the bases in order to attain it. 
the intimacy, the intensity of it all. it just seems so unattainable. it requires them, and you, to be completely and utterly vulnerable. 
“that seems kind of, objectifying.” matt shifts his demeanour, ironic considering he sparked the conversation. 
“it wouldn’t be a competition without a challenge.” chris acknowledges, and unfortunately for the both of them, he’s right. 
“this sounds so fucked up” matt says, running his hand through his scruffy hair.
“first brother to five points takes all. all of her.” chris speaks, confidently setting up the challenge. 
essentially their plan is to see who can get the closest to you, and let the other brother suffer in watching it happen. which occurs points. loser has to back off of you completely. unless someone gets to you first, in which case all their hard work flies out the window. they won’t be making it easy for each other.
“points won’t matter when i get her into bed first.” matt’s smug, knowing it’ll make chris go insane. 
“so i take it that you’re up for the challenge?” chris ignores matt’s words with a prompt, because if he doesn’t disregard it, he’ll lash out. 
matt considers it. at least he acts like he does. he knows his answer. if he wants you, if either of them do, they have no choice but to compete. neither of them are sure if it’s love or lust, but they’re about to find out. 
they are certain of one thing though. they like everything about you. the way you look. the way you smell. the way you sound. they know exactly why they want you. it’s the first time ever someone has been able to grab the attention of both brothers. hence the severity of the agreement.
“when do we start keeping score?” matt responds, and that’s all the reassurance chris needs in his brothers answer. 
as if on command, you trudge down the stairs in a sleepy state. their eyes snap toward you simultaneously, and you blink repeatedly to make sure you’re seeing them right. 
you are their favorite part of every day, so it’s not out of the ordinary for them to acknowledge your entrance, but you can feel the intensity of their eyes on you with a different energy. 
with foggy vision still clearing as you rub your heavy, tired eyes, you let a small yawn escape. they both melt at the sight, despite you feeling like you’re in your least desirable state. 
you’re not even paying attention to their back and forth bickering. the sound of their voices muffling through your ears. whatever it is they’re saying, they’re not saying it loud enough for you to hear before you even make it down the stairs.
“now.” chris states, eyes snapping back at his brother as they both raise off the lounge.
all is fair in love and war.

WE NEVER EXISTED
[band smau]
Tumblr media
[FIFTEEN]
masterlist.
prev. | next.
Note: haha... it's a long one guys..
Tumblr media
The concert had ended and you couldn't help but think it was the most fun night of your life. South Park certainly knew how to draw in a crowd and give a band their best experience ever. Endorphins running through your body at an all time high, you felt happy, light, floaty in a way. Like nothing could ever tear you down.
"What a night!" Clyde exclaimed, tossing his drumsticks in the air, doing some random juggling routine with them.
Nichole hummed a noise of agreement, "Right! I don't think I've seen so many people of South Park in one place before."
Everyone nodded at Nichole's statement.
"Well, I for one am beat," Stan sighed out, before taking a sip of his water, "I don't think I've sang that many high notes in my life before in one concert."
"You did a good job bro," Kyle slapped his hand on Stan's back, rubbing his shoulder a bit, "You all did."
Clyde stared at the scene in front of him before turning to you mouth open wide in shock before looking back at Stan and Kyle, "Oh my god they're making out in front of us guys!"
You stifled your laugh as Stan turns to Kyle make obnoxious kissing noises towards him, "Style will be real in 10 seconds."
Kyle scoffed and turned to find a place to sit down and Stan threw his arms around Kyle's waist, "NOOOO babe don't leave meeeeee."
"Oh my god you weirdo," Kyle rolled his eyes in mock annoyance, "Fine, fine I'll sit with you, scooch over."
Stan does so and Kyle sits besides him, "Well we've got some downtime before the truck guys come to grab our equipment, what do you guys wanna do?"
"FOOD. OH FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PRECIOUS TO ME, CAN WE PLEASEEEE ORDER SOME FOOD!!" Clyde falls to his knees, begging.
Kyle took his phone out opening DoorDash, "Yeah I'm feelin hungry myself, what you guys want? I'll start a group order but you all owe me back."
You patted your pocket, "Oh wait where's my phone?"
Kyle's face briefly shows one of panic, "I uh, put it on the charger you left it and I found it dead.. so I plugged it in for you."
"Oh! Thanks Kyle."
"No problem, I'll just pay for you for tonight."
Clyde scoffs, "What is THIS Kyle Broflovski? You pay for our dear bassist but not for your lovely Clyde THE Donovan?"
"Clyde."
"This is like........instrumentalism..Do you just like bassists? Do you hate drummers?"
Nichole looks up in confusion, giving Clyde a side eye, "That.. is definitely NOT a word meant for that use smart ass."
"Uh huh, it sure is, don't change the topic though Nicky.. the important thing here is that no one is paying.. for ME!"
Kyle sighs, "Clyde."
"Uh.. I'm not finished yet," Clyde holds a finger up, "As I was saying, why don't you pay for me too! Do you just hate me, Kyle? I thought we were besties..."
If emoticons could be used as tones... you swear Clyde would sound like exactly like the sad emotion right now.
"Clyde." Kyle tries again.
"Oh my god can you let me do what I need to do?" Clyde frowns in fake irritation.
"Did..are you quoting Tyler the Creator right now? Seriously?" Stan asks.
"Yeah."
You snort at Clyde's antics and Kyle rubs his eyes, "Dude.. You can pay for yourself.. your phone is right there.. and CHARGED. You literally just got an angry birds notification."
Clyde turns around and sure enough his phone sat lit up with an angry birds notification sitting on his home screen, "Oh well this is awkward.. but still! It's the principle of things.."
Before Kyle could utter another word, Clyde continues, "BUT! I'll let you off the hook.. I'll pay for myself; you win this time.. Kyle Matthew Broflovski.."
"NOT THE FULL NAME." Stan bursts out laughing hard and Kyle sits there with his head in his hands, face covered in a slight blush from embarrassment.
Nichole, having tuned the conversation out and scrolling on DoorDash herself, pipes up with, "Does Burger King sound alright? It's either that or McDonalds and I'd rather not have them again tonight."
"Sounds good with me!" You chirp and the other three give their own mentions of agreement.
Kyle sends the link out and then gets up to sit beside you, "What would you like?"
"Hmm.." You lean in to get a better look at his phone and Kyle stiffens a bit before handing his phone to you.
"Thanks," You add your order in and hand the phone back to him, "Hey Kyle do you think my phone's charged by now?"
Kyle hums briefly and without thinking says, "Yeah should be."
"Oh great, where is it?"
He pauses briefly, having realized what he said, "Uhhh... You know.. I'm not sure where I plugged it in, give me a second to place the order if everyone would FINISH," He gives Stan a harsh side eye who just shrugs in return, "And I'll help you look."
Nichole frowns and gives you a glance and you catch it and just shrug, "Alright works with me, just as long as my phone is still here and someone didn't take it.. because you'd be owing me a new phone mister."
Kyle places the order and stands up, "Yup, I know.. That's why I'm hoping it's still here myself. Alright well lets go find it."
Kyle starts walking off towards the trailers and you follow, the other three look at each other and immediately start gossiping once you two are out of ear shot.
"Alright, what the hell is going on between those two?" Nichole asks.
Stan shrugs, "Hell if I know, suddenly they just became like that!" Stan snaps his fingers.
"Okayy.. well they've always been relatively close, I mean not as close as recently but, they've always had an easier connection." Clyde points out.
"Right and this is Y/n we're talking about.. she wouldn't be stupid enough to cheat on Kenny right?" Stan questions and Nichole shakes her head.
"No, that girl is dedicated to him, she wouldn't dream of doing that to Kenny."
Clyde sits for a minute, thinking, "Well what if Kyle's manipulating her? To like fall in love with him? I mean he's liked her since.. how long now?"
Stan looks over at Clyde incredulously, "Dude! That's my best friend you're dissing right now and absolutely not, Kyle isn't that kind of guy."
Clyde shrugs, "Hey bro I was just throwin ideas out there."
"Yeah, shitty ones."
Nichole chimes in, trying to break the random argument that's about to start, "Uh guys."
"I don't hear any genius ideas coming from YOU, Stanley Randall William Marsh."
"WHY ARE YOU SAYING OUR FULL NAMES LIKE THIS." Stan raises his voice in exasperation.
"Cuz it's funny." Clyde simply states.
"Uhhh... Guys?" Nichole says with more urgency.
"Yes Nichole?" Clyde turns to look at her, batting his eyelashes.
"Have.. you two seen twitter?"
Tumblr media
You turn to ask Kyle, "You sure you left it in here?"
Kyle scratches his neck and looks around the trailer room, "Yeah, it should be here."
"No it's not." You sigh.
"What?"
"You have a thing, you scratch your neck and refuse to make eye contact when you're hiding the truth."
"A...thing?" Kyle asks confused.
"Yeah like a tell, people have these quirks about them that they do.. when they're lying or if they're happy or you know something like that."
Kyle still stares at you with slight confusion, "And... mine is scratching my neck and refusing to make eye contact?"
You nod, "Yeah.. pretty much."
"So you're calling me a liar?"
"I'm not calling you a truther."
"Don't," Kyle holds a hand up, "Quote Drake and Josh when you're accusing me of lying."
You cross your arms annoyed, "I'm not accusing you of lying I'm stating you're not telling me the truth right now... about MY phone no less."
Kyle sighs in defeat, "Okay.. You got me, but Y/n, sit down."
"Wha?" You start.
"Please."
"Wow, okay.." You slowly start to sit down and Kyle sits down at the couch across from you, "What is this about.?"
Kyle bites his lip and refuses to meet your gaze, "Y/n.. I.."
"Oh my god," You nervously chuckle, "You're scaring me, Kyle."
Kyle runs a hand through his hair and stares at the ground, you can see his jaw is clenched.
He looks back up at you and wordlessly fishes your phone out of his back pocket and slides it over to you.
"You had it? Kyle what the he.." You trail off, meeting his gaze. His eyes tell you that he's nervous.. that he's serious.. and that he's sad.
You swallow nervous again.. you can feel the mood change in the room, really you think it changed a while ago but your nonchalance about the reality of whatever is happening prevented you from fully noticing it.
You're not sure what to be thinking, thoughts run through your mind at the speed of 120 miles per hour. Complete worry stains your body and covers you in a blanket of fear.
"Y/n." Kyle starts, in a full serious tone.
"...Yeah?" You answer apprehensively.
"Kenny's cheating on you. I found out during the set."
White noise. White noise filled your ears, the room was so silent that you could literally hear the noise of dust settling around you.. at least you thought you could. What you could be hearing is the blood draining from your head or is it the blood rushing to your head?
Your heart beats faster and you're pretty sure to Kyle you look as if you just had a heart attack. Frozen in shock... frozen in.. dread? You're not sure what to feel.
Your throat is dry, your mouth is dry, "How..? Who..?" You croak out.
"The podcast earlier released it, it uh, was Red.. They've been together since right after we left for our tours."
"Oh- Oh my god I'm going to be sick." You gasp out.
Kyle instinctively wraps his arms around your body, holding you tight. You know that if you were standing, you'd have collapsed onto the ground. He rubs circles into your back and rubs his hands along your sides to comfort you.
You can also feel Kyle whisper in your ear comforting phrases, at least you'd assume it's comfort. You can't hear anything, the shock of the situation hitting you even harder now you know everything.. or at least everything you need to know.. everything you want to know.
You can't feel tears.. you're not sure why, maybe a part of you expected this... no, no how could you ever expect something like this? Your body is in a catatonic state. You feel sick yet you feel fine. Almost as if your body is fighting itself in a way that you don't know how to deal with.
You feel hollow.. empty.. like someone just ripped a half of you away with no explanation as to why. Except you HAD an explanation.. a horrible, awful, shitty, excruciatingly painful explanation.
You hear the trailer door open and a few gasps, before feeling three pairs of arms circle your body. You felt cold, you felt numb, you felt broken. But above all?
You felt alone.

In this hypothetical HBP AU, Charlie, my asexual king (I too would gladly dip to study magical creatures. Dragons, Imp, dragons) is present to fulfill the role of “aren’t there more important problems going on right now?” He is side-eyeing his mother hard in that hospital wing, ma’am a man died outside less than an hour ago and our brother has scars that will affect him in unknown ways that aren’t healing no matter what we try. I like to think he was talking to Tonks at some point earlier about what she does as an Auror vs what kind of magic he uses at the dragon reserve and are there ways to combine the two—this man is a nerd okay, you can’t convince me he doesn’t read every research publication about dragons as it comes out—and Molly feels them out about maybe Tonks dating Charlie, only for neither of them to actually pick up what she’s hinting at and Molly leaves with the takeaway that Tonks is really into Remus (and Tonks and Remus have been spending time together, talking about Sirius, while Harry is at school. Tonks and Remus have no idea Molly believes this is romantic, he was dating the man who was practically Tonks’s uncle and Remus went to school with her parents*. Tonks is stressing over a work assignment and Remus says “you know, your mother used to make that same face when I saw her revising in the library”). Charlie leaves with the takeaway that Tonks is brilliant and they need to talk more later about how to combine different fields of magic, he is already composing a letter in his head to his friends about this, and Tonks has the takeaway that Charlie is in the running for her favorite one of Bill’s siblings. Molly’s belief comes up in the hospital wing and Charlie is horrified, what do you mean you tried to set him up with one of his brother’s fiancées and surely this could have waited until literally any other time. He shakes his head and says that actually, we’re going to pretend this part of the conversation never happened, how about we discuss what the plan is now that Dumbledore’s dead and how are the kids handling a battle in the place they live, which happened due to another student letting dangerous murderers into the school, and now the Headmaster is dead outside the place they all sleep for most of the year. Sirius approves and laments that of course, one of the only people who has their priorities right showed up after he died. Anyone tries to bring up any topic of romantic drama, Charlie cuts them off, sort this out between yourselves far away from him and after they know how to handle the war now that their leader is dead as a doornail.
*ignore the timeline and the birthdates on the family tree please.
I do love asexual king Charlie Weasley! He definitely has no time for this nonsense. But honestly, neither does Harry. I do love that in the last couple of books he's like "really?????" whenever the Tonks/Remus romance drama comes up. There is a WAR on, and Tonks is sad because she can't land a man? Okay. Harry has bigger problems to deal with and frankly could not care less.

help, these Zionists have all lost their goddamned minds! this one is literally a teacher but you won't hear lawmakers say a word about him being violent!
www.13wmaz.com/amp/article/news/local/warner-robins/new-details-in-warner-robins-teacher-charged-with-terroristic-threats-and-cruelty-to-children/93-66334447-a1d9-4e3a-beb9-8cb300595d35
Tumblr media
The power dynamics that exist between a teacher and student should be something an educator is ALWAYS conscious of. This is beyond unethical -it's criminal and despicable. And unfortunately, it's not the first time we have seen some people in the education system who are violent and abusive towards students like this. At least some students have gotten it on record/recorded these so-called teachers being racist, xenophobic, ableist, and overall, bigoted. It astounds me that a grown man in an educational field, who doesn't know how to emotionally regulate, would say this to a MIDDLE SCHOOLER -a 12/13 year old child who CLEARLY has way more emotional intelligence and reflexivity than that zionist would ever dream of having.
I also love it when he tried to backtrack and say that this student was being 'antisemitic,' when he escalated his train of thoughts and said he would kill them... I hope he gets his licence removed and is never able to teach again.
My solidarity is for the teachers who give a damn -who do their best despite under-funding, having to guide/parent/counsel their students because parents and guardians won't (and that's a separate conversation, but worthy to mention), and with whom DO NOT get paid nearly as much as they should. But for terrible 'teachers' like this -who threaten to kill their students for calling out IOF violence -people like that should never be allowed to entered into a classroom ever again.
Although this doesn't compare at all, it made me think of some terrible teachers I've had in the past. I had a Professor during my BA in University tell our entire class that 'imperialism in theory isn't bad,' and to me personally when I was writing about (it was a History of Japan course); Japanese women's writing in the 20th century (and specifically women-run journals in the 1920s-1930s (and I highly recommend more people research this because there is a vast depth to women's writing in Japan for hundreds of years). I was casually talking about feminism in his office when I visited him to clarify my essay topic, and somehow our conversation led to something I brought up in a lecture, which was the history of tattooing in Japan, and he told me straight to my face "I think tattoos on women ruin their natural femininity."
Some people should just not be teachers in so many ways. And I really hope he's fired.

Observant: Odo x Reader
Summary: Odo has not stopped watching you and you start to figure out why.
Words: 1.1k+
Author’s Notes: Another Odo fic cuz I love the goo man :)
-
-
-
Every since you’ve come to Deep Space Nine, the Chief Security Officer has had his eyes on you.
He must think you don’t notice. You can feel him staring at you wherever you go, and it’s making you a little nervous. Does he suspect you of something? Have you committed a crime without realizing it?
To be fair, it didn’t start out being creepy. It started with just a few simple looks now and then, like he does with everyone. But then he began to frequent the places you go everyday at the same times, even more so than he does with Quark. His gaze is always on you during meetings regardless if you’re the one talking or not, and he goes out of his way to chat with you and ask questions about you. You don’t know him very well, and you’ve certainly never met anyone else of his species, but this behavior seems weird for anyone.
One afternoon you’re grabbing a drink at the bar, chatting with a few officers, when Quark motions for you to look behind you.
“Would you look at that, right on schedule,” he chuckles as Odo walks in.
You swiftly turn back around, “Do you know what his deal is?”
“No one ever knows what his deal is. And he certainly wouldn’t tell me,” Quark shrugs.
“I think I know,” Rom nods vigorously. “He probably likes-”
Quark pushes him away, “Shut it, Rom. If Odo liked someone like that, I’d know. I know much more about romance than you,”
“But I heard Jadzia and Kira talking about it yesterday-”
“Rom!”
“I’m sorry, what are you talking about?” you butt back into the conversation.
“Don’t listen to my brother. He doesn’t know anything,”
“Yes I do! I heard them say they think-”
You roll your eyes and start walking away. You’ve witnessed plenty of their bickerings, and you’re a bit too tired to listen to another one. Truthfully, you are a bit interested in what they have to say about Odo, but not enough to make you stay.
Funnily enough, though, that’s only the first time the topic comes up.
A week later, you’re playing darts with Miles and Julian, when you see Odo walk in out of the corner of your eye.
“He seems to always be here when we’re playing, doesn’t he?” Julian says.
“Who?” Miles doesn’t look up.
“The Constable. He’s always watching our games from afar,”
“He’s just making his rounds like he always does,” he puts the next set of darts in your hand. “Your turn, Y/N,”
You start throwing, trying not to let the conversation and the feeling of you being watched distract you.
“It’s just...strange. He wasn’t here this much before Y/N started playing with us,”
Your last dart completely misses and lands on the floor.
“Sorry,” you mumble.
“No problem at all! You were in the zone, I was starting to think you might beat me this time,” Miles laughs.
“Miles, don’t you get it? He obviously-”
“Julian, you’re breaking everyone’s focus. Now take your turn,”
The next time your hear the crew gossiping about Odo, it’s in the Replimat. Jadzia and Kira are sitting a few tables away from you, and they seem to not know you’re there.
“You know, I did ask him about it, and you know what he said? ‘They’re just very intriguing’,” you overhear Kira.
“He’s been watching them for months now, literally everyone notices it,”
Maybe it really is about you.
You’ve tried to brush off all these conversations about Odo’s behavior, but your gut seems to be right: he’s definitely targeting you specifically. He’s not watching anyone else like this, and you want to know why.
You take your last bite of food and head back to your quarters. As interested as you are in what else they have to say, you don’t want to eavesdrop too much on a private conversation about a friend they’ve known much longer than you have.
The corridors are pretty crowded at the moment, and you approach your door a little too quickly, running straight into someone accidentally.
“Oof, sorry,”
You look up, and it’s none other than Odo himself.
Oh no.
“My apologies, Constable,”
You put your passcode in and open the door, Odo still watching.
“Actually, how about you come inside for a minute? I want to talk to you,”
“What about?” he asks as the door closes behind him.
Finally, all your composure leaves you and all the conversations you’ve overheard become too loud in your head to ignore.
“Look, Odo, I don’t know what your problem with me is, but you need to explain yourself. Why do you follow me everywhere? Why are you always watching me? Everyone around thinks you’re obsessed with me like I’m some sort of criminal!”
A vague expression of surprise at your outburst washes over his face, “Y/N, you misunderstand. I am the Chief of Security, it’s my duty to observe everyone on this station,”
“It’s more than that, though, don’t act like it isn’t!” your voice raises. “I haven’t done anything wrong! So why am I the only one you’re constantly watching and interrogating? Why have you memorized my entire schedule so you’re always where I am? Why can’t you explain yourself Odo?”
“I don’t know!” he yells.
There’s silence between the two of you as you continue to glare at him.
“I don’t…” he starts. “I don’t know why I’m so drawn to you, Y/N. I really don’t know,”
Your glare fades, and you see the pain in his eyes.
“I don’t understand it myself, that’s why I can’t explain it. There’s just something about you that intrigues me, it makes me want to know you better. So I’ve been watching you and following you, trying to figure out what it is. I never meant to scare you or make you feel paranoid, I apologize,”
“Are you serious?” you’re not sure whether to gasp or laugh. “If you wanted to get to know me why didn’t you just ask me to lunch or something?”
“Because you’ve been avoiding me!”
“I’ve only been avoiding you because you’ve been acting like a creep!” you retaliate.
Another beat of silence.
“Well,” he grunts. “It seems we had a severe miscommunication,”
“Clearly,” you sigh, taking a seat on your couch and leaning back into the cushion.
He sits down across from you, “I think I understand the problem,”
“Do you now?”
“My job is my life, Y/N. The security officer part of me never fully turns off. I’m very good at my job, and my methods usually work well for their purposes. But they do not work for others,”
You nod for him to continue.
“I treated you like an investigation--like a case--because that’s what I’m good at. But now I realize that I should not pursue people I’m interested in personally the same way I pursue a criminal. I hope you can forgive me,”
You smile, “Of course I forgive you, Odo. How about we just start over, okay?”
“I would like that.”

Favorite color? You can’t help but ask them why that’s the first question they ask you “Someone’s favorite color can say a lot about them, and it’s something most people know off the top of their head. It also probably comes from how many kids I meet” You tell them you were wondering why they were so colorful “Oh, well that’s because I’m literally a clown. Though I guess all my bright colors do make me look like I’m from a cartoon, huh?” You two chuckle and you agree with them, saying that they’d make a great action figure
Jack laughs at this “Aww, you’re too kind, I’ll let you know if our merch team ever makes one. I’d love to see you play with me” A shiver runs up your spine as their voice dips into something lower, seductive even, before snapping back to his original tone “How’d you like Rory? He’s pretty great, right?” The tone shift makes your head spin for a second before responding, agreeing that Rory is nice to talk to “Yeah, he’s really sweet when you get to know him, he’d make a great harem member if I might be so bold” You chuckle and ask if he has a harem “Huh? Oh…you don’t know much about what leading the cult entails do you?”
Your face falls, that familiar feeling of anxiety pooling in your stomach. You ask him what he’s talking about “Well, there are a lot of things the leader is expected to do but one thing you’ll have to establish is who gets to be in your harem. People will flock to you once they all know you’re here and all of them want to please you. The harem is a system that makes sure people don’t do something stupid like try to have sex with you in public” You laugh, they don’t
You look at him for a moment before asking if he’s serious “Oh yeah, it was a real problem before the founder established his. If you’re still unsure who you’d like to be in it by week's end just pick someone you’re friends with to hold them off. Though make sure you tell them they’re just there because they're your friend, don’t wanna kill anyone now, do we?” even though you’re both outside in the afternoon sun you feel ice cold, you’d expected weird shit, it is a cult after all, but this is just something else. You can’t even tell if they’re kidding about your rejection killing someone, the way he says it is so flat, like they’re telling you the sky is blue or fire is hot
You tell them you’ll keep it in mind and you start to look around as you try to think of another conversation topic. As you do you notice all the houses look nearly identical, not an uncommon occurrence in neighborhoods to be sure, but it’s more than a little uncanny. Every now and again you see a group of children playing after school, all of them wave at Jack as you pass by. You remember them saying that they talked to a lot of kids and decide to ask them about it
“Oh, I’m the elementary teacher! Though I also do counseling for the older kids. It can be rough going through life alone, I just wanna be there them” It’s only when their voice drops do you realize they’ve been performing this whole time. Their voice has been light, almost bubbly all this time, but in that moment they sound so down to earth, like they really care about these kids. You can’t help but smile
“Oh, here we are!” Their voice regains its bouncy quality as he walks down someone’s driveway “Now, I’ll make sure to tell him who you are but don’t be surprised if he gives you a bit of a death glare when he sees you. Jean’s never been fond of newcomers” You thank them as they knock on Jean’s front door. It takes a minute but eventually the door opens, the man inside looks a bit awkward, having to cross his left arm over to open it. He gives you your warned death glare before it turns to something more confused “Hey Jean, I thought I’d bring you some coffee cake after your readjustment. This is-” Jean’s eyes widen and before they can get it out, Jean says your name
Sorry if this one feels a bit short, but I find it only hurts a project to extend it but hope you like it anyhow! Also sorry for sending in so many things at once my brain is just buzzing
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm losing my mind at how good this is!!!!!!!!! The way you write all the characters is so good!!!! Also flirty Jack 👀😳

The Crown made Diana seem... awful and crazy.
Hello, to all you beautiful people!
This author hopes all is well with each of you! After two solid months of illness after illness, I am back for a new post. Slowly, I inch back into the habits and hobbies I enjoyed pre-illness. There are two things I want to discuss; I should really write out two different posts and include a story of the last time I spoke with my mother before she died when I was on the run back in the old days. But, this author would like to remind you of the ‘taking it slowly’ part.
Therefore, I will say this briefly before I move onto my main topic. Knowing now that Her Majesty the Queen had cancer the last few years of her life, yet Harry did NOTHING to take advantage of that time… well… let me just say. One day he will wake up, and it will be a miracle if the guilt from all his decisions doesn’t crush him whole.
With that, I now would like to discuss the fifth season of The Crown. I’ve watched all five seasons of The Crown, and I have never found the show to be insulting to the Monarch. If anything, I find the show makes it look like Her Majesty had a short stick and the people around her didn’t make it any easier. Diana especially. Before Diana, it was either her sister, her husband, or possibly even her heir.
The fifth season essentially suggests that Diana was too stupid and paranoid to listen to her brother when he called out the inconsistencies from Bashir. There is a literal scene where Diana calls Martin out on all of his inconsistences (re her brother’s appeals and begging her to not go through with it). She has him in the car and she tells him of how her brother had been keeping notes from all the conversations, that he was caught up in many a lie. And yet she was so paranoid, she couldn’t see the reason for the mania. (I’ve been there, not judging, but it is what it is).
The whole entire show makes it look like Peter Morgan is in love with Her Majesty, but everyone else is too selfish and inconsiderate to try and make things easier for the Queen. I’ve never been one of those who saw the show as a bad thing, as long as the person being portrayed was the Queen. But this fifth season explicitly left someone out, which I found odd.
REMEMBER, the show is utter fiction. My fellow AMERICANS, The Crown is a work of FICTION. It is loosly based on factual events, and that is being a bit too generous.
The show also highlighted the Romanovs, and it showed the introduction of Penny to Prince Philip's life. I do wish they'd not make the Queen seem so hysterical with the emotional side of their marriage. They either make her seem superficial, or like she is so good at looking the other way it hurts Prince Philip that she doesn't even try to catch a peek. Like Philip was so unfulfilled he needed the Queen to complete him. Puh-lease. Those two were each other's rock. And they did what they needed to make it work. None of our business how that happened, now is it?
If I were Netflix, and I had an ex-royal, especially the second son of Diana, Princess of Wales on the payroll, wouldn’t it make the most sense to remind people at every opportunity that I had the Spare on the payroll? I mean, the whole point is to remind people of the upcoming content, not the stuff they already put out, right?
So why is it that little Harry didn’t have more than a hand full of lines the whole fifth season, yet William is a breakout role? Diana’s character even says that “all the love the people have for me has transferred to William,” after the interview fight. It was horrific the way they portrayed Diana.
Diana came off as a manipulative woman who knew she was being used and used it to her advantage daily. Even when they cover the divorce, they have a scene where she’s asked to be silent post divorce. She tells the Mediator character essentially that her silence would cost eight figures and start with a three. She hangs out at a hospital and love bombs sick patients just to attract the attention of the Khan (who did surgery on her acupuncturist’s spouse). She uses her children to sow unrest and win favor with the Queen.
Even one scene shows William and the Queen having tea, and the Queen reminding William that he is a child and shouldn’t be worrying about his mother. Then, she eventually has William with her when Diana goes to give her a small warning about the interview coming out with Bashir. Every time you see how Diana used William as a pawn with the Queen. Like she knew the Queen would see her using him, feel empathy for him, and show her favor. And it worked. It legit worked. If this is who Netflix is painting the Diana, Princess of Netflix to be, how can Harry even look himself in the eyes in the morning? I suppose with a LOT of exterior assistance.
And that reward is a threat, btw. I imagine that will be his official straw. Either that or King Charles III has already offered him a deal, and this is his way out. I.E. Old poppa will take me back now if I get rid of her… Harry was/is an addict. He needs frequent dopamine releases to stay interested. She is running out of interesting things, I am almost sure.
If Charles is waiting for the book re the titles, he shouldn’t. I keep checking often to see any changes, and there have been multiple updates to different biographies. Yet the succession withholds all titles for both of the kids. It says a lot. But then again, does it?
The Prince of Wales website still has Charles and Camilla on it as the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. Netflix managed to come across very fair regarding Camilla and Charles. I am telling you, it seemed quite literal and quite personal. Like Netflix was getting revenge. But who am I? It was like they were sticking it to them both. They know Americans won't fact check, and they essentially made Prince Harry's childhood irrelevant in one of their biggest shows. Then, they painted William as the kid who had to parent his parents. How they continue to work with Netflix... wow. Just wow.
IT’S BEEN TOO LONG! Writing again soon, sending love! #royals #thecrown #princeharry

munday meme / accepting / @infintasmal
4. what made you choose this muse?
Tumblr media
Because this man was so well written (nostalgia plays a big part in it too). I remember watching Yusuke growing up he was everything I wanted to be (aside from how shit his life was), the man had swag, he had a mouth on ‘im AND the moves to back it up too. He skipped classes to go out and gamble, hell i wasn’t surprised if he drank too (I was just the anime watcher at the time). But that was all surface-level shit, this anime is ONE of those shows that told you everything you needed to know about its main character. He was ALL those I listed but it didn’t mean he was a rotten egg because this same bad boy, this person that everyone writes off as a no-good waste of space saved a child from being run over by a car. This boy who we’ve followed during that brief flashback sacrifices himself. Believe me when I say if you’ve seen that episode too you’d NEVER guess he’d do it. 
It showed my boy had a heart despite what the streets thought. After that it was the adventures that glued me to my seat. The brotherly bond he had with Kuwabara really reminded me of my own friendship with mah boys. When he made sure that Kuwabara wouldn’t fail to the point he’d GO OVER THAT STUFF IN HIS DREAM. Then Yusuke met Kurama. At this point Kurama was kinda like the bad guy in our point of view. He had an item that Yusuke had to retrieve, but instead of a fight we get a conversation. Mans literally told Yusuke he just needed the mirror for one more night and he’d give it up without a fuss. My man had NO REASON to believe him but he considered the fact that if Kurama had wanted he could have ran his fade if he wanted because Yusuke was not ready to box at the moment. 
OH damn I’m getting off topic, I might pretty much explain the entire plot of yyh to you, either way my point is Yusuke was just a terrific character. One of my favorites, in fact he’s number 1 out of my top five (sinbad is number 3). I love this guy, he was an easy choice for me to roleplay. He’s not your typical shonen protagonist and that’s another reason why I love him, no disrespect to the other GOATS in shonen.

These guys are attention seekers lmao
Kaeya will probably just sit on the couch and call me every five seconds just to say “Oh, nothing. Just wanted to hear your lovely voice.” That guy, honestly!
Keqing will be ask me very unnecessary questions and will ask me to repeat certain statements again. “To clarify, these resin will be for Mora? The mora used for currency and talents? Our mora?”
Yanfei will probably rattle off the certain housing violations the teapot has lmao. “You know, according to Article 6 in Fontaine, this house should be at least six stories tall-“
Wanderer is just an angry cat. Pulling my hair and pinching my cheeks wherever, whenever. “It’s quite amusing to see you yelp when I pull on your hair. How childish.” Like BRO YOU’RE LITERALLY THE CHILDISH ONE-
Also also, pet names!
Kaeya: my love because my boy deserves all the love.
Keqing: bae because keqing is babygirl and I will not take any criticism
Yanfei: my girl because AAAAAA yanfei is best girl
Wanderer: the other name I named him. Because it flusters him so bad AHAHAH.
I wonder what the others think when I call one by a pet name tho. Like:
“HOLY SHIT MY LOVE YOU HIT 20k!”
“Ahaha, thank you, my dear Esther.”
“…”
“…”
“…pathetic.”
Oh yeah, the yandere signs about them? I dunno, they seem pretty normal to me.
Kaeya’s talking to me for like, 4 hours straight I suppose. Man that guy never runs out of topics.
Keqing sleeps on my lap because she says she’s sleep deprived. Hey, gal pals, right? No homo.
Yanfei is very clingy, like, hugging me from the back and kissing my neck and stuff. Maybe its an adepti greeting?
And Wanderer…well, he’s probably the most normal. He just cusses me every time i breathe in his general direction and is a ridiculous manhandler. And by manhandling i mean trapping me against the wall.
Wanderer: the other name I named him.
wait now i'm curious what did you name him lmao-
no i get you zhongli talks 24/7 and never runs out of topic. it's lovely tho bc it means there's never an awkward silence and i don't need to think of a topic for a conversation, which is a godsend?? it's totally normal to just. sit on someone's lap and listen to him talk for 4 hours+ straight... right?
and yes, back hugs, neck kisses, and thigh fondles seem to be some ancient liyue custom according to zhongli. yanfei must be doing it to you bc she's part adeptus and a cultured woman!! <3
'no homo' sure yeah comrade we all know how that one's gonna end up- #sus #yeshomo #lovewhoyouwannalovebuddy

Okay this is my first time ever posting something like this here and it's about to be long af and probably very sappy.
(Reddit style post)
Tumblr media
So I,  26(F), am heavily crushing on this guy 24(M) at work. We work in a pretty big hospital but in different departments. He's the head of the clinic right across from mine (I'm also in charge of my own clinic).
This crush actually came out of nowhere. I've seen him around the hospital ever since he got there (I've been there longer than he has) and I see his name a lot on certain little "committees". The earliest memory I have of ever interacting with him was back when I was still working in the Emergency Department and he was up at the MedSurg floors. I was transporting a patient upstairs after sending the report and all I can remember from my interaction with him was "Glasses". I'm really good with faces, not so much with names.
After that, I would see him here and there like the cafeteria, the lobbies, the hallways, elevators, even the committees that he and I will unknowingly both be in. He was never on my radar at all (mostly because I was also in a relationship with someone at the time).
We didn't really start actually knowing each other until his best friend/roommate (who's also the head of another department) invited me to a Murder Mystery party at their house.
At this point, I was closer to his roommate (we'll call him Jack (28M)) than I was to him even though Jack got to the hospital a few months after he did (we'll call Crush boy "Ben"). Jack and I got to know each other because I would cross over to his department to steal ice chips daily for my own consumption. Anyway, Jack added me on Facebook and invited me to a Halloween themed Murder Mystery party this year. Of course I said yes because 1) I get to dress up and 2) I LOVE Murder Mysteries.
Sorry, getting derailed. Anyway, Jack and his wife opened up their house to a few friends for this party. I think that was when I started noticing him a little bit. I was in full monster make up and Ben was the investigator. One of my objectives was to talk to his character yaddi yaddi yadda.
With me being the competitive person that I am, I started knocking out my objectives and approached him. We got talking and I noticed that he was actually pretty cute. Not just in the physical sense, but his little mannerisms and such were very endearing. But not wanting to be distracted, I moved on to my list (I eventually figured it out and won best costume).
With the game over, Jack, a few others and I were sitting around the kitchen island just talking about work related things (I was ranting about my boss and Jack was talking about one of his problem employees who I happened to know as well). Ben walked in with his costume Saber prop in hand and just listened in to our conversations. From work topics, we moved on to things we liked to do in our spare time. I mentioned that I love Star Wars (which Jack knew) and watching certain TV shows. I mentioned a few that Ben was also watching so he was able to join in on the conversations. We all talked until it was time to go.
Right before we left, I went to go use the restroom and after coming out, I noticed a Stormtrooper helmet with a unique design on it. I mentioned how cool I found it to Jack but he told me it wasn't his. It was Ben's. At the sound of his name, Ben peeked around the corner while messing with his props and it was at that moment that I felt my body feel like tv static. All of a sudden, my heart started pounding and my palms started sweating and he was all I could see. Immediately I was like "oh sh*t".
It's been downhill ever since. Now every time I see him at work, I get nervous and I either want to run the other direction or make fun of him. I have literally turned into a high schooler with a giant crush on someone she shouldn't be crushing on.
We ran into him one time at the Info desk and I casually threw in the invitation to my best friend's (we'll call her Rinny (24F)) birthday. I invited both him and Jack but it was completely innocent (he and Rinny met through the flu drive which he helped out at and Rinny was spearheading it). When he found out the time, he was all "that's so late. I have a bed time." See whenever guys say this, I usually understand it as a polite way of saying thank you but no thanks. So I let it go. When I mentioned the party to Jack, he said the same thing too but asked if we wanted to do a birthday dinner on a different day. I brought it up to Rinny and she said she was down for it so I said yes. And then Jack asked if he could bring Ben. Honestly I should've said NO because my dumbass was trying to sort out why Ben was making me feel things but I didn't want to be rude so I said "sure."
So me being the dumbass that I am, drank a lil ol' liquid courage so I wouldn't spazz out and be nervous and next thing I know I was Chatty Cathy who didn't know what Personal Bubble was. I was super embarrassed and apologized after to Jack to let Ben know (I didn't have Ben's phone number or socials or anything at the time). Jack reassured me that I had nothing to apologize for and that if Ben was really uncomfortable, he would've pushed me away. Fair.
Fast forward to now. It's been almost 2months of me feeling like this and I'm still free falling like I'm back in high school. I've had 2 relationships and I just got out of a 1year weird situationship (I've been "single" since May of this year) and yet none of them has made me feel like Ben has. Everyone is telling me to go for it and to just tell him to his face but I don't want to make things even more awkward than they already are. I don't want to date anyone because I'm trying to sort out my own baggage and he hasn't dated anyone either for more than a year (everyone has confirmed that he's been single this whole time). I dont want to just hook up with him either because he's a genuine great guy and I'm not really that person that can do random hook-ups.
Oh and the kicker? He knows I like him. I'm not subtle at all. I overheard a conversation with him and Jack where Jack said "hey your cute secret admirer stopped by my office today" and I had just told Ben that I came from annoying Jack. Cue me lamenting my fate.
So yes. I am down bad for this man. I can't shut up about him. Every time I see him, my day brightens a bit. If I'm in a bad mood, it lessens when he talks to me. But I know he doesn't feel the same way. The vibes aren't vibing on his end and I am completely okay with that. I'm satisfied with just a friendship between us. Besides, I'm leaving in 6months to a whole new country because I accepted a job offer there wayyyy before this whole thing with Ben started.
Just needed to get all of that off my chest because I feel like I'm going insane and Rinny is tired of me talking about him constantly when I don't intend of making any moves.

Damn, what I would do for more content.
You know what? I love Dragon Age games, but they are not without flaws. Some are more glaring than others, but the flaw I want to talk about today is... lack of background specific content. Ok, Bioware doesn’t want to invest time into origins anymore. Fine. I think it is a stupid choice, as origins are like sessions 0 in DnD, where you can playthrough your own background instead of come to session 1 with the fully written out character. And even then Origins were not exactly the same. Some facts were already pre-established, but it was fun to have them, to spend some time IN the place you come from, in order to immerse yourself in the character. I cannot stress how interesting it would be to actually see invasion of Lothering from Hawke’s perspective at the end of a very normal, very peaceful day, instead of skipping it and go straight to running away. Or how nice it would be to actually be part of Lavellan clan and see how much similar and different it was from the Dalish clan we could start in DAO. Or how Tal Vashoth’s mercenary life or Carta’s life looked before they headed to the Conclave. Speaking about Tal Vashoth, they are actually what sprung this post to be, as I just sat today and randomly thought “How nice it would be if Adaar and Bull could ACTUALLY discuss living outside the Qun after his character quest”. The game gives all the main characters some opportunities to say something about themselves, but most of those things are quickly shot down by companions, who literally in some cases tell you your own customs as if they knew better. Those opportunities that we were given, never felt good enough to me. They felt small, as if the game wanted us to forget that avatars are distinct characters in their own right and overwrite it with the Herold of Andraste. Small dialogues here and there, some hidden special options... to some it is enough. To me, it feels cheap. My Adaar, Lavellan, Trevelyan and Cadash could have SO MANY interesting conversations with companions, best if all were turned into cutscenes specifically about that one topic we were discussing, instead of always being just an afterthought, some addition to the other topic, more important topic, that we were discussing. Solas has probably the most conversations in which we can talk with him about the Dalish, but it is because he is an elven god, born in times long past. Most other companions are not given the same luxury to discuss topics of identity, beliefs and culture with us beyond some random conversations here and there in which, like I already said, we are never allowed to actively tell the companions that they are wrong about the customs they just told us about to our face.
If you ever were angry that you couldn’t just start a discussion with Dorian about Alienages and Tevinter Slavery, to draw similarities and differences, to talk about what the status of elves is derived from (human hatred and bias), or if you wanted to sit with Bull as Adaar and comfort him about not being part of the Qun, and tell him everything you know about how Tal Vashoth live, their life philosophy, where and how they find fulfillment without the shackles of the Qun, you will understand what I am talking about. I am aware there is content. I just think there should be more of it, that it should be treated as important too, to make players more willing to replay the game and try to play as every avatar they can, beyond some small hidden dialogue options. I want to be able to correct companions when they’re wrong, just like an elven Warden could with Leliana for example. I want more, and more meaningful conversations with companions. I want us to discuss topics, relate to one another. I want Carta Cadash to talk with Varric and reminisce about stuff they share, and argue or debate about stuff that make them different. I want to be able to tell Cassandra as Trevelyan that no, mages are not whining and asking for more than they deserve. I want to scold her for treating people who were prisoners all their lives as if they were a bunch of whiny brats who are unhappy that they do not have satin linens on their beds, instead of a group of people who actively feared they will be murdered in their sleep by Templars at Haven. Give me those disapprovals Cassandra, I don’t care! You need to hear that mages are not willingly standing in the fire. That being born in the fire is different from consciously stepping into it and staying there and complaining it is hot. I want to be able to talk to all the Chargers, beyond Krem. I want to be able to chat with Dalish about dalish clan differences and similarities, and what they discovered and where they went last with their clans as Lavellan. I want Adaar to compete with Chargers about which group of mercenaries was better, the Chargers or the group that Adaar originally belonged to. I want them to have a drinking match, screaming who defeated more opponents or survived more deadly encounters! Yeah, I know I want a lot. But it is just the world building that I feel is lacking. The connections forged in camaraderie, arguments and debates. I don’t understand players who skip dialogues, or whine about “cutscenes / story arcs being too much talk, not enough action”. I am sorry that the dialogues that are the foundation of RPGs and writing, are standing in the way of some mindless slaughter, dudebro. Maybe they should have picked a different game then, if RP in RPG is bothering them so much.

Ask game:
Fathers and Daughters: 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15
Wow, Anon, take me to diner first! (I'm joking, thank you so much, that's such a big ask! I'll try to be concise) From these fic asks.
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
Not sure about what way. The style, the topic? Why Silco adopting Vi? I'll go with that. The show had just ended, and everything was pain. I wanted a better version, where Silco was a little better, and Vi wasn't so…. underdeveloped. I felt like she was the worst character, completely shafted by the narrative to be our POV into act II and III and sped run through a dubious romance. Beyond that I had very few rational thoughts. I was a brain inflamed. Star Wars? Original fiction I was supposed to do Nano about? Out the fucking window. I had to process all these feelings… I was inspired by how fucking INSANE that show made me. I never experienced a brain rewiring like I did with Arcane. I was also turbo stressed at the time, and obsessing over the fic was pure escapism.
2: What scene did you first put down?
Literally chapter 1. I don't pre write, and I don't plot. I literally sat down and wrote : "Vi doesn't really understand who pulled what sort of levers, for her to be walking free again after only two months in a Piltovan holding jail." and ran from there.
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
That is impossible to answer!! 80% of the fic is dialogue! The entire story is character moving from one dialogue to another! Okay… If I have to pick, for brevity's sake I'll go for that early introduction of Syd's character :
'Stop hiring idiots and get some kids off the streets for me. At least I can train kids!! Fuck, I could train a cat to do this job, but not the fuckos in that last batch. ASK IF THEY CAN DO MULTIPLICATIONS!! I'm not running a candy shop!' is adorning the bottom of a wholesaler's receipt.
I felt very smug later on, when I was able to recall that bit when Silco introduces Syd to Vi :
'You said you'd rather train someone than inherit incompetents,' Silco protests, jabbing a finger into Syd's chest. 'As I recall, you said you could train a cat to do the job. I think Vi is probably smarter than that.'Vi snorts. 'Well, thanks.'
5: What part was hardest to write?
I have more hard chapters than I care to admit. I think the second big Silco and Vi conversation (about Vander and Silco's past) was very hard because I was using two different sets of notes. Some written about Silco's backstory, back when Talia (Sevika's sister) had a pretty different role, and I had a pretty poor grasp of Vander as a character. The other notes were written because I was struggling with the early part of the chapter. By the time I'd caught up to that scene, I was juggling all this pre-written content and I haaaate that.
Another rough one was the first Vi chapter after all those Silco PoVs. I never really managed to recover my Vi voice. I think she sounds weaker in newer chapters and gives me more grief. My betas don't see it, so it's probably in my head x'D
11: What do you like best about this fic?
The universe it created, that's home to other little fics. It's just kinder than the canon universe, but not completely different. It's a space that's fun to live in, as a writer, more than my other AUs. I also love how much fun I've been able to have with minor characters like Mek or Syd, and how it gave me such a big audience to pitch my Dark!Vander theory ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
12: What do you like least about this fic?
How hard it's gotten to write. Also, how long it is… Because see, if I lack inspiration or am stuck, I'll usually reread everything I have… I've re-read this fic to death, can't handle it anymore. Still, I love it to death—yet I'm tired of it. I kind of know where I'm going with the ending, and it's making a lot of the writing tedious, like I over-plotted. I end up extending it with surprise chapters like the last one, just to keep myself on my toes. That's how you add 12 chapters without noticing though, so I gotta be careful.
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
I listen to a lot of weird shit. I've listened to the full Arcane OST times and times again, of course, but I also listen to a lot of "viking" music (Danheim, Heilung, Forndom, Wardruna…), all three albums of Carbon Based Lifeforms I own (Hydroponic Gardens, Interloper, Derelicts), the latest Black Keys (Delta Kream), and a ton of mixes of Vapor Wave, tribal/folk electronica, tech noir, and other techno/electronic music, jazz/bossa nova, and lofi. Here are some of the youtube mixes I listen to regularly. And yeah, also a LOT of skyrim/Jeremy Soule music lol
15: What did you learn from writing this fic?
That being a turbo panther doesn't actually get in the way of writing good character development and multi chapter emotional arcs. I kept not wanting to "rush" Vi to the point where she just accepts Silco. I knew it was an end goal, for her to love him… But I didn't have a scene in mind, and I'm glad that painstakingly writing everything blind, in a linear fashion, didn't actually get in the way of making it work! I honestly wasn't sure, this is my best and longest work to date after all!!

Awkward conversations with dad...
Ever got that feeling when you are so used to them, their presence, their energy, their characteristics, and simply everything, just vanishes into thin air when you outgrew that? Well, I just realized that when my 20s just hit me. When I was little, I used to be so close with my dad, I was an only child til the early age of 2 I was given a little sister. I used to be the center of attention, my dad spoiled me rotten because when I was small he had to miss some of my life because he used to be a seaman. At 5ish, my mom would help me write letters to him just so he could be sent me his gifts and he happily obliged my wishes. Everything changes when that little bubble blows up because the minute puberty came into my life I started to avoid him.
My teenage years are quite dramatic as it seems, I was experiencing what every teenager was trying to do at that age, trying to keep up with the trend, just literally wanting to be involved. I experienced crushes, my first high school party, my first love interest, my first time rebelling, my first time drinking, and lastly, my first heartbreak, and none of those things came out the word to my dad because we started to have that distant relationship.
As I grew older and got into college, my dad always puts this pressure on me because I’m the eldest daughter meaning I’m the next in line after all their hard work paid off it’s my time to take on that part.
Here’s where the topic is coming along, 2 words, car rides. I would say whenever we both run errands just the 2 of us he would make awkward glances at me since I’m sitting in the passenger seat while he drives and tries to break the goddamn awful silence by making really short conversations that I came to realize that ends so easily and fast. Meaning to say, that after all this time of knowing my dad, loving how he loved and raised me to be the woman that I am today is that we never had something in common now that I’m older. It’s different with mom, mom and I had this sacred secrecy car talk where we both just vent out about our annoyance to dad’s side of the family know what she’s feeling as their in-laws, I get to be on her side because I would agree with it. I have a lot in common when it comes to those topics and school-related shit but not quite with my dad.
Just earlier today, they took us to Batangas for a joy ride, and whilst everyone was asleep in the backseat and I was left in agony, fighting my sleep-deprived self not to sleep because knowing dad, when we're on long drives he would want someone to stay up with him. He would point out to random cars saying that we have the same as that, the same color like this, and so on. Me being my uninterested little shit about cars, just nod my head, smiled in his way even if it was fake, and gave him really short responses because what the fuck am I going to say when I don’t know so little about goddamn cars.
The awkwardness never died down up until we reached Pila, mom woke p and started a conversation with dad, that’s where my agony ended. Fuck my uninterested self on both cars and my dad’s lame-ass small talk. I was weird and all I could think of is how badly I wished dad and I have something in common whilst entering my early 20s rather than being a fucking alcoholic. Let’s just say opening a conversation with dad is never easy. 
Well, shit.

She really puts so much time, energy, and effort into making the day go smoothly.

We had such an amazing time working with Ernestine that we also hired her to coordinate our wedding brunch for the day-after the wedding!Įrnestine aka Mama E was hands down - INCREDIBLE.

(spams you with her pictures and captions them with “y/n!!! look!!! layla with a flower!!!! layla with a butterfly!!!!” it’s just so sweet aaa)

MIRROR SELCAS
MIRROR SELCAS

has better clothes than you ngl so you share clothes lmao
it started with him lending you his sweatpants, but then you didn’t want to return them forgot to return them and BOOM 💥 here we are
extremely awkward and shy at first — don’t worry though, he becomes much more chaotic in the later phases of your relationship
he teases you SO MUCH. LIKE. SO MUCH.
always has small smile (smirk?) on his face when he’s about to make a cocky remark (so beware)
you tease him back just twice as hard which 1.) results in him in becoming flustered 2.) fails LOL
off-topic but he’d love a s/o that has a similar style to him ??? a more elegant, classy, dark style perhaps
when he’s away / busy he’ll send you some selcas and captions them with “how r u doing??” “did you eat yet?” “cheer up :P” 
kinda shy about pda but likes showing off too ???
i mean,, men... 🙄🙄 /lh
whenever someone mentions your name near him, he’ll just try to hide his smile while biting his lip (yk what i’m talking about???) and you’ll see his dimples and the affectionate look in his eyes and just AAAAA
the type of boyfriend that calls you love~
Tumblr media
🐈 ⸝⸝ SUNOO ˙𐃷˙

stages of sunoo flirting (?):
a — tries to compliment you (it sounds more like a flirty remark tbh)
b — realizes then blushes
c — cringes and runs away LMAO
playfully acts jealous, so you know it’s a joke but deep down he’s actually jealous
you two match each others vibes a lot — if one is sad, the other is sad as well
+ tells you your posture is bad when you sit like a banana or tells you to go to sleep early and when you don’t listen to him, he’ll show you an article that proves that (abc) and (xyz) is bad for you and says “i told you so.” ��
Tumblr media

the other members tease you two everytime you’re over LOL it’s like there are two koalas clinging onto each other
our yang garden gained another sheep +1
you two randomly play sheep,,,, like,,, everyday ???? sheep cosplays 👍
idk why ig it’s just fun to imitate sheep and go “mmmeEeEeeEhh” to annoy others
talking of that, even THOUGH he is a responsible leader he will not hesitate to do stupid shit with you
“hey how about we ring on that house there and yell “sheep for sale!” do you think they’ll open the door?”
“i don’t know... let’s find out!” 🤝
let’s just say that this didn’t end well..
also kinda bullies you (in a loving way ofc !!) pand teases you nonstop
either calls you asshole or love aHA
in conclusion: a very unpredictable relationship,, would 10/10 recommend.
very random but i feel like his love language is acts of service
Tumblr media
🐈 ⸝⸝ NI-KI ˙𐃷˙
oh look it’s our tsundere 😼
can’t go a day without dancing so you two have vibing sessions at 2am everyday ft. the others telling you to go to bed
you’re the only one that can make him soft lol
if you’re older than him, you would definitely take care of him like your own baby !! 
if you are the same age as him or younger it’d be awkward for him at first, because he isn’t used to taking care of someone younger, so he’d treat you as if you were his best friend at the beginning
you love to watch him dance !! it’s so satisfying,, LITERAL asmr.
pranks you 24/7. boy has NO mercy. will not care if the others will scold him later. he will do the prank smoothly (?) — doesn’t care about the consequences LMAO
probably sets your alarm to someone screaming or a cringy aegyo song <//3
wants to film dance covers with you !! you don’t have to be the best dancer either !! as long as you have fun ^__^ 
the other members find you really cute but are also vERY TIRED OF YOU,, two energized teens in a relationship was not a good idea ☝️
likes to randomly hold your hand and swing it around 
probably distant at the beginning of the relationship because a.) he doesn’t want to pressure you/make things awkward b.) he doesn’t really know what to do either ???
(if you’re not japanese or don’t know how to speak japanese) he’ll definitely teach you some japanese phrases and words !! introduce you to his culture as well :DD and he really wants to know more about your culture too <3
teaches you phrases like “sunoo is a dumbass” for the funzies LOL
randomly makes micheal jackson impressions,,, it’s hilarious LMFAO
