★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

That farm belonged to her father's family for generations, it was four miles away from the city, a big piece of land in Jackson Wyoming, her great great grandfather built it to raise his kids close to nature and animals, he had worked his whole life in other people’s farms, when he saw the opportunity of having his own, he didn’t think twice.

And it was in this farm that her parents met, they knew everyone in town and had a few good friends, but their true shared love was the farm, it was over a hundred years old, and Paul and Laura tended to it with pride and joy every day, before and after his work at the dam and her work in town as a veterinarian. When he met Laura, she fell in love with the farm before falling for him, it happens if you’re a vet with a passion for farm animals. They started talking more when both realized they were both very religious. She lived in town but was often on his farm to check on the animals, with all that going for him every Sunday he would take initiative and would go pick her up early in the morning to go to church, then they would lunch and chat for hours. He fell for her at first sight, when she was over his place, he would always create a reason for her to stay a bit longer, a coffee, a slice of pie, a show he wanted to show her, even though he actually had never seen it before. When they started dating it didn't take long for him to invite her to live with him and it didn't take much longer for her to say yes. Two years later they married and one year later she was pregnant. But what was supposed to be the perfect life, changed one month into the long-awaited pregnancy.

Usually not many people walked past the farm, some lost hikers rarely, but one night someone knocked on the door, Paul and Laura woke up in a panic, he told her to stay quiet and grabbed his gun. -"I'll go with you! Are you crazy?"- She whispered, climbing out of the bed. -"You are pregnant!"- He turned to her, with a raised hand, silently asking for her to stay. -"Yeah, and you are the father!"- She put on her fluffy slippers, and he rolled his eyes. Meanwhile whoever it was downstairs was nearly breaking the door, frantically screaming for help. As Paul opened the bedroom door the noises stopped. "Shit…"- They said at the same time, and slowly walked downstairs. They stopped on the last step, both hearts dropping at the sight. The man that was at the door was now running away from two people towards the barn, but they caught him and started… Eating him? It was far but it sure looked like that. Laura felt sick and sat on the stairs, Paul walked closer to the window and watched in horror as the man screeched out his last scream. -"Holy fuck…"- He whispered to himself; they never swear but that was for sure a different night. Soon other people started to appear from the woods running from others, some they recognized even from afar, friends, neighbors… Another man made it to the front door. Joey, a young florist from town, covered in blood. -"Open the door! For the love of God!"- He screamed, crying his heart out. -"Paul please! Oh my God! I'm going to die!"- Paul looked at Laura. -"What are you waiting for?!"- She got up and walked towards the door, but he stopped her with a hand on her chest and shook his head no. -"Paul, he is hurt!"- She had tears in her eyes. -"We don't know what's going on…"- With his other hand he took her hand from the doorknob. Joey was still crying on the other side, more quietly now… Then silence. They were staring at each other, listening to absolute silence. Paul decided to look through the peephole and he saw Joey squirming and contorting; he could hear the boy’s bones cracking. He stepped away from the door holding his mouth, disgusted and shocked. Before Laura could look too Joey screeched and threw his whole body against the door, over and over again. They jumped back and Laura screamed, the door started to break from its hinges. -"Oh my God!"- Laura held Paul's hand. -"Go! Upstairs! NOW!"- He screamed, and both ran back towards their room, at that same moment the door flung open, and Joey fell inside, climbing the stairs behind them on all fours, screaming. Laura got into the room; Paul quickly closed the door with her inside, turned and shot right as Joey was jumping on him, both fell against the door. -"I'm okay… I think…"- He said, weak, she opened the door and his head hit the ground, Joey was on top of him, dead. -"What the hell it’s going on?..."- She asked, her whole body trembling. Paul pushed the boy away and got up with a grunt.

They stayed up that night, the door was gone, and the people kept coming, they were fast, too fast.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day after, Paul fixed the door, and they started building a fence around the farm. Laura wasn't very good at building fences, but she was worst at shooting, so as she built, he watched her back. Everyone they killed they buried and prayed for them, the days were long and tiring, mornings were for building, evenings were for digging graves, nights were for praying and trying to rest their tired bodies and minds, which was also a task.

After two weeks no one would show up anymore, no monsters nor people, Paul was able to help with the fence and after two more weeks it was done.

After that they never left the farm anymore, rarely a monster would show up and they would kill and bury it, it was a sickening routine.

Months went by and they didn't even notice, their days were quiet and sad, they weren't that happy chatty couple they once were, but they still felt connected by the farm work and would always sleep holding each other.

Their daughter was born in the bathtub, Laura always wanted a water birth. Everything went smoothly and from that day forward they found joy in life again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A year later Paul was feeding the horses and chatting with Laura when a group of three approached the farm's gate. Paul told Laura to go and she ran inside as he grabbed the gun from his back and walked towards the gate. They talked for a short period and Paul lowered his gun and relaxed, Laura was watching from the window when her husband motioned for her to come. She would like to hear what they had to say, he thought. It was the first time in months they saw people, alive at least. And it was the first time they were introduced to the fact that a community was being created in the city. They explained what they knew about the infection and the outbreak, and told them they should go to the city, the real danger in their area now wasn't the infected but raiders.

They talked for hours that night and decided to stay in the farm, but they helped the townsfolk with everything they could. Maria and her father used to go there at least once a week, at first for business and ideas on how to properly use the dam, for ideas on how to build a sustainable community and how could they potentially live as the good ol'days, Laura had many good ideas for that, she used to daydream about the normal world every waking hour and dream about it when she was asleep. Soon they didn't talk about business at all when they visited, they chatted and cooked food, laughed and drank whiskey. They were friends, family.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After two years they wouldn't bury the infected anymore because they started to change, sometimes both of them question that in silence, they were people once, just that should give them the right to a proper burial, were they just scared to get too close, to touch them? They didn't talk about that, but by the way they looked at each other after seeing an infected was proof they both share those awful feelings. They would still pray for their souls and Laura would often cry in the bathroom, Y/N would often listen because she was always following her mother around, she didn’t know why she cried so much.

As Y/N grew she learnt how to do everything around the farm, from a very young age she was already into it. They rarely visited the community and that didn't bother her at all, she didn’t know better, but they argued sometimes about the fact that she should be around other kids, at her age she should be going to school and having fun, but they would always settle back to the idea of being on the farm. "Imagine if it all happens again but we are surrounded by people'' they used to say, the farm was isolated, but it was safe, they were alive until then because they were isolated in the first place. So, they homeschooled Y/N, taught her everything they knew and like that the years went by.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she was ten, she woke up before her parents because of chatting at the front door. She opened her bedroom door slowly and met her father doing the same, he put a finger in front of his lips telling her to not make a noise. She followed him downstairs, Paul felt her holding the hem of his shirt and felt chills down his spine, it was like history was repeating itself, but now there was a little girl involved, she shouldn’t have to go through all that terror. He suddenly felt strong and protective, as they reached the last step, the chatting had stopped, he opened the door and pointed his gun out, looking around, but there was no one, his blood ran cold as his brain created all kinds of scenarios, this could be a trap, he was lightheaded when suddenly his daughter’s voice woke him up.

-"Dad! Look!"- She pointed towards the barn, there were two people trying to jump the fence, he looked but looked down even faster, his daughter's scream had woken up the reason the couple were there and were now running away, a baby, a few months old at max.

-"Holy Mother of Jesus…"- He bent down to grabbed the basket, Y/N had both hands on her mouth, in shock and already in love with the tiny little baby.

-"Laura! Laura!" - He called his wife with tears in his eyes. When she climbed down she almost fell on her ass when she saw the child in her husband's arms and immediately started to cry, Y/N watched as the couple finally jumped to the other side and disappeared. She felt like she would never forget that sight. And like that they became a family of four. They named her Dakota.

It was a blessing having Dakota around, Y/N always wanted a sister and a brother, and her parents always wanted a big family, but that dream died when the infected were born.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Y/N started to become a young lady, they were glad they controlled everything their daughters knew and had access to, they wouldn’t even let the girls be around after dinner when Maria and their friends were there. Y/N used to go to her room and leave the door just a slit open and sit by it to try to listen to something, a story, an adventure, something about the old world. Somedays her parents liked to drink after dinner and cuddle by the fire, they used to remember and laugh about how wild teenagers were back in the day, and how their daughters were angels, Y/N remember listening to this, and she did feel that way sometimes… Wild. One day when Y/N was seventeen she went to the community alone for the first time. She had argued with her mother because she didn't want to study the Bible anymore, she knew everything word by word and thought it was baloney and her mother freaked out, how could she say that that in front of her little sister, she should be an example and yada yada, her high pitched screams made Dakota cry and that made her mother even more angry, while her father was trying to soothe the situation, Y/N sneaked out, grabbed a horse and left. Getting there, she went straight to the library and browsed books for hours, anything was more entertaining than that old bible she had read countless times. She decided to take a book where the main character had her name and went back. She hid the book on the second floor of the barn and went inside to face her parents' wreath, after hours of arguing and lots of crying they all went to bed without dinner, except Dakota who wasn't mad or sad with anyone and was as hungry as any other day. In her room she regretted sneaking out, her mother’s face when she came back was unforgettable and so heartbroken, the fear and disappointment on her father’s face was all too much, why did she do that? What did she get from such an extreme action? Nothing… She thought, but when she closed her eyes she saw the books, all those stories and that smell… Oh the smell. She smiled to herself, she remembered all the times she would open the bible expecting a new story to appear on the pages, she remembered the few adventure stories her father used to tell her and her sister, she always wanted more, and now she had it, it wasn’t all for nothing.

She woke up early the next day and went straight to the second floor of the barn and hid the stairs. Their parents tried talking to her and bribing her with an apple pie but she wouldn't come down. Not because she was angry or sad, but because she learnt what the book was about, it was a romance, she never heard or even thought of those things, she didn't know what she was feeling but it was as good as it was new, It felt wrong and that made it even better she didn't know why, it made her giggle and blush and that was so funny for her. She barely blinked, she couldn't stop reading. It was lunch time already and her tummy was growling. She hid the book again and climbed down. After a few very long apologies it was all back to normal. Lunch was great and afterwards she helped her father around the farm, both enthusiastically teaching Dakota everything, Y/N was so good with plants and harvest that her father couldn’t do it without his daughter anymore, Dakota thought her sister was the smartest woman in the whole world and so did Paul, he loved that his girl was getting better than him, he couldn’t be more proud, sometimes even playing dumb just to listen to her explaining everything with unmatchable gusto, she also helped her mother around the house a bit ignoring her anxious heart and her butterfly filled stomach. That night she snuck out and slept in the barn after reading the book until her cheeks were hurting from smiling and laughing.

After that book their life changed a bit, coincidentally, because of another book, they started to visit the community more often after Maria planted the idea of bible study and Laura loved it, Maria was always trying to convince them to move to their community, maybe this time it would work.

The class was actually a success. Laura was very religious but after the outbreak she started to question everything, in a healthy way, in a way she could explore other beliefs, even atheism and hate. And that's what the class was all about, a place to explore the bible with an open heart, like a piece of art, a place to believe or find out religion is not for you and that's completely fine, a place for counseling, for sharing, a safe place.

While Laura was teaching Y/N would always go to the library, Dakota would stay for the classes then play with other kids afterwards and Paul would help around and chat with the few old friends that were still there. Before sunset they would all gather in front of the barn to go back home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her teenage years flew by, and she was now a young woman allowed to go to the community alone, Laura could swear her goal was to read every book ever printed, and if that was the goal going to Jackson only once a week with her family wasn’t nearly enough, plus Y/N was great with any weapons, fast on her horse and was of great help to the community. She was a brilliant botanist, great with any type of food management, had a sniffer dog’s nose for a good harvest and an eagle’s eyes for improvement on the crops, animal stock and every kind of dairy production, a bit awkward around people but that did not prevent Maria from asking her to pass on her knowledge to the townsfolk.

She was allowed to bring Dakota to her classes, three times a week, and soon enough her parents started going there that frequently. Dakota made friends quickly and that worried Paul and Laura a bit, but it was undeniably good to be there, a few months into this new routine and they were all spending the entire days there, the would go early in the morning to help around and after their classes they would cook dinner, help around or just chat and have fun.

-"You guys should come live here."- Maria said to Laura one day, she had forgotten how many times she had suggested that over the years. -"There is space for your animals and there are many good houses. We would love to have you guys around."- She smiled softly and put a hand on Laura's shoulder. But they wouldn't budge, even Y/N was okay living on the farm, she was quite socially awkward and she loved her old room. Dakota was confused, she loved the city more than everyone in her household but it was scary to change her lifestyle like that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Half a year went by, and Y/N was in the library planning her class when a young girl, Dakota's age, walked in with Maria, she seemed to be showing her the community. "New people" she thought and went back to writing. That evening when she arrived home, she noticed her father's horse wasn't there. "Father is still in town?" She wondered what he was doing. As she approached her house the smell of burned wood invaded her nose, her mother was cooking. She walked towards the kitchen and watched her mom clean up the counter while humming a church song. -"Where is dad?"- Y/N asked and her mom turned to her with a jump. -"Good gracious young lady, a warning please!"- She took a hand to her chest and exhaled a laugh before answering. -"Tommy asked him to help with the night watch, he went early to meet the guys, you know your father, friendly as a golden retriever…"- They laughed. -"Never thought you guys would get this involved with the community, that's amazing…"- She smiled at her mother who was smiling back, softly. -"We are doing it for our girls…"- She walked towards her daughter and cupped her cheek lovingly, Y/N put her hand on top of her mother's and looked at her. -"Dishes are yours."- She winked and walked away laughing, Y/N rolled her eyes, sighed and got to work.

She couldn't sleep properly that night thinking about her dad out there. She has known Tommy since her teenage years, but who were the other guys? She couldn’t help but wonder if they were nice, friendly? “They’re Tommy’s friends… I’m overthinking….”.

She woke up before the sun and waited for her father to return sitting on her window, when she saw him in the distance she rushed to him. -"Dad!"- She screamed and waved, running to help him with the gate. She was in her pajamas and barefoot. -"Sweetie! What are you doing barefoot, you catch a splinter or somethin’!"- He laughed looking at his daughter and jumping off his horse. -"I barely sleep, I was so worried! How was it?"- She opened the gate quickly and hugged her dad. He grunted, coughed and giggled. -"I'm okay sweetie… It was quite fun actually."- He gently pushed her away and continued while walking towards the barn. -"You know Tommy is very funny, thank God he was there, if I stayed the whole night with just his brother I would have died of boredom!"- He chuckled.

-"Tommy has a brother?"- She asked, looking at him curiously.

-"Yes, older brother, just arrived… Guy is as close as a clam, I've heard around town that he is quite violent too…"- He looked at his daughter and shrugged. -"He has a daughter, same age as Dakota, the little girl seems to like him alot so guess he has a sweet side, or the girl it's a little weirdo like him…"- Paul laughed taking the cell off the horse's back and placing it in its place.

-"What's his name?"- Y/N asked.

-"Joel…And the girl's name… I don't remember…"- Paul petted the horse goodbye and wrapped his arm around his daughter's shoulders, pulled her close and walked back home with her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks later Paul was doing night watches two times a week. He was growing closer to Joel, it turned out they had a lot in common even though one was a talking machine and the other a brick wall. Tommy and Paul gave Joel headaches sometimes but he secretly liked the company, he missed the warmth of having friends, and hearing his brother's laugh was refreshing. Paul was officially going to town everyday after the farm chores. Y/N and Dakota were planning on asking to go with him, Y/N wanted to study and read and perhaps make some friends and Dakota wanted to go to school with her many friends. But they were afraid of Laura's reaction, she was already arguing quite a lot with Paul about his new routine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Almost a month went by and the girl she saw in the library walked into her class, Y/N wondered if that was Joel's daughter. -"Hello there! Welcome!"- She smiled and waved at the little girl. She waved back awkwardly, looking around the greenhouse. -"What's your name?"- Y/N asked. -"Ellie…"- She answered, checking out a big tomato that was hanging from its branch. -"Nice to meet you Ellie, I'm Y/N, today we're learning about the different types of tubers and how to care for them."- Y/N looked at the few kids in her class then back to Ellie. -"Tubers…"- the girl said to herself. She continued her class, Ellie was walking around the green house, uninterested, eventually laughing at some words she found funny, the kids in the class were looking at her, but the adults weren't phased by it, new kids were always like that, adults sometimes too, slowly approaching the class or leaving without a warning, sitting far away and anything in between.

By the end of the class Dakota rushed to talk to Ellie and Y/N smiled to herself when she saw Ellie smiling at her sister, she sure had a way with people. She gathered her stuff and walked past them after closing the greenhouse, they started to laugh so she looked back still walking, two steps later she pumped into someone. -"I'm sorry…"- She turned to see his chest and large shoulders, covered in a green flannel, her eyes went up and he was looking down at her with a shy smile on the corner of his lips. -"S'okay…"- He said, and she felt a shiver up and down her body. She was staring at him, mouth ajar. -"I'm here for…"- before he could finish Ellie came running and punched his arm. -"Hey sleepyhead!"- She said all happy. He smiled with his lips. -"I do night watches, what’s your excuse to sleep all day?"- They smiled at each other playfully. -"Look! I invited Dakota to eat some cake at home, so yeah, bye!"- She waved bye to Joel and to Y/N and Dakota followed her. He turned to ask them something, but Ellie tagged Dakota and they started to run.

-"That's my sister…"- Y/N finally remembered how to speak, and he turned back to her, making her heart skip a beat again at the sight of his gorgeous face.

-"Yeah, I've seen you around…"- He scratched his beard. -"I'm Joel…"- and reached for a handshake.

-"I'm Y/N…"- She smiled and took his hand.

-"Tommy told me about your class, he said you're great…"- He shook her hand, looking at her with big brown eyes, his large hand, warm and calloused, completely engulfing hers. She smiled and stared back. He let her go and cleaned his throat. -"Paul's daughter right? The little library mouse…"- He said as if it was nothing but to her it felt like he knocked the air out of her lungs. -"He… he called me that?.. "- She asked, staring at him, her cheeks burning.

-"No, I did, he just said you are always in that old building…"- He squinted his eyes ever so slightly, finding it weird how she kept staring at him even while clearly embarrassed, but Maria told him that she was skittish like a cat, he thought that was very cute but didn't believe her until now. -"Well, see ya around."- He smiled with his eyes and walked away.

As he walked away, it took her a second to process him. When it clicked, her heart dropped and she rushed to the library, threw her things at a table and looked for that first book she read. She sat on the table with it, flipping pages quickly as if her life depended on finding that specific paragraph, that description.

"He was older than me, way older some might argue, I knew that, but something pulled me to him, maybe it was his musky scent and mainly looks, maybe it was the desire to discover who he could be beside that shell he created for himself. He was known for being violent, angry and very grumpy but his big brown eyes hid a kindness to them, I constantly catch myself wondering how gorgeous he would look when he smiled, but he never did, only with his eyes, rarely, his salt and pepper curls and beard gave him a somehow approachable appearance, fatherly and warm, his voice made my whole body tingle the few times I've heard, husky and low, his whole face and body, sculpted by a perfectionist God, every wrinkle, every pore. Don't let me start on his broad shoulders and strong arms, oh how I have spent my nights thinking about how he could lift me up with no effort at all, pin me against a wall and kiss me deeply, his lips looked so soft, I would let him kiss me, as much as he needed, I would let him use me until my body crumbles on me, until my body is rearranged for him. He doesn't know this, he can't know how my body begs for him, how my body aches for his calloused hands, for his warm tongue and large…"

She closed the book and placed it roughly on the table beside her, not wanting to look at it. It was him. She dreamed about that man for years, none of the other books she'd read had hit her like that one, none of the other men in them had stuck with her like that, gotten under her skin like he did, unphased even after all those years, the perfect specimen in her mind and heart and now in her core too. -"Oh my goodness gracious…"- She whispered to herself and caressed the book cover without looking at it. Her body felt foreign, sinful. Her mind was rushing. It can't be that bad… Right? She thought. Afterall she wasn't in love nor planning to get married. It's okay, she thought when she realized she was overthinking, he didn't even feel the same way, why would he? She took a deep breath and cleaned her mind, but she couldn’t shake the feeling of embarrassment about how awkward she was, how innocent, she was still that bible study girl after all, afraid of God, and afraid of sin, she wasn't nearly as cool and powerful as the girls in her books, she was just a little library mouse… Maybe in that case, that a good thing…

Y/N left the library with the book in her purse and asked the guy, who was the librarian of the day where Joel and Ellie lived. She wanted to take her sister and go back home early that day.

She stood in front of the house for a minute, unable to knock. "Get yourself together…" she said in her mind, and knocked before another thought occurred.

-"Who is it?"- It was Ellie's voice, and she allowed herself to relax.

-"It's Y/N, I'm here for…"- Her sentence was cut short when Joel opened the door, his flannel was gone, he was wearing a black shirt that was too tight for him.

-"Hi…"- He looked at her, unreadable, voice deliciously low.

-"Can you call Dakota for me please, we have to get going…"- Her voice was small as she fought the urge to bite her lower lip and avoided his gaze.

-"Do you wanna come in for a while?"- He asked playfully, probably because he noticed her peeking at the inside of his house because she couldn't look at him for more than a second.

-"What?! No! No, thanks… Hum…I…"- Before her cheeks could go completely red, he asked another question.

-"What do you like to read?"- He leaned on the door frame, and she felt like dying, and she would've died happy.

-"Bo… Books about what I teach…"- She held her purse strap tight and looked up at his biceps and forearms towering over her and gulped.

-"Nice…"- His low voice sending chills up her thighs.

-"At your age I enjoyed romance and thrillers."- He discreetly looked at her, from head to toe, her hair on a messy bun, pink lips, adorable summer dress, and cleavage… He inhaled sharply.

-"I'll call Dakota, you wait right here."- He walked in leaving the door open.

She turned from the door, let out a breath and gasped for another one, her face never felt so hot, she wondered how pathetic she looked. -”Holy shit!”- It came out as fast as her hand came up to slap her mouth three times, a tick she had since she was little, every time she said a swear word, she would slap her mouth.

-"Were you swearing?"- Dakota asked from behind her and she jumped.

-"No, yes, sorry…"- She looked at Dakota and placed a kiss on her forehead, the little girl was holding a piece of cake and Ellie was right behind her, almost resting her head on her friend's shoulder.

-"Ellie told me to give it to you… She is very proud of her first cake!"- Dakota giggled and looked at Ellie over her shoulder, she was rolling her eyes, her cheeks pinker than usual.

-"Thanks Ellie! You should be proud, it looks and smells great!"- Y/N smiled and Ellie did too, shy as could be, Joel approached slowly.

-"Okay, so, bye Ellie!"- Dakota waved to her new friend and jumped down the four steps on her front porch.

-"See you tomorrow right?"- Ellie asked, walking past the door frame, seeking Dakota's attention.

-"Sure, I'll talk to my parents about it."- Dakota said with a smile and started to skip towards the barn. Y/N and Ellie waved to each other as the little girl squeezed herself beside Joel to walk back into the house. He cleaned his throat and said.

-"They want to go to the movies tomorrow…"- Joel crossed his arms and leaned on the door frame.

-"Cool…"- She said, distracted by his incredibly large shoulders.

-"You stare a lot…"- He smirked the smallest of smirks.

-"I'm… I'm sorry…"- She quickly turned to walk away.

-"I like it, s'cute."- His smirk widened a bit and she was completely unable to speak, held in place by his words, she was thankful that he couldn't see her face, her wide eyes and flushed cheeks, meanwhile he took his time to analyze her body again, the thin straps of her dress on her delicate shoulders, the many strands of hair falling from her bun, the way her dress held her ribs and danced with every warm summer breeze. He smiled to himself.

-"Would be great if you'd come too…"- He said before his brain could process it. If Y/N wasn't red as it could be already, she was now. She turned back to him, eyes wide. -”Tomorrow my father will go fishing and I always help my mum to clean the fishes and…”-

Her voice was getting smaller with each word, she almost thanked him when he interrupted her. -“S’okay… I can help…”- He just stared at her.

She didn't want to think about that, she just nodded and instead of the good old “goodnight” she just smiled awkwardly then rushed to meet her sister. Joel watched her run away, exhaled a tiny laugh through his nose and walked back in to cook dinner and hopefully find out why he invited her so abruptly.

She followed her sister who was now a few feet in front. She decided that stuffing her face with cake was a good way to stop thinking about him. The cake was great but it only made her think more about him.Did he help her bake? Was he a good cook? What was his favorite meal, favorite sweet treat? Her head was spinning but it felt weirdly good.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took a lot of talking to convince Paul and Laura to allow them to go to the movies, but they won that battle, after cleaning the dishes the sisters ran upstairs to Dakota’s room and talked about the upcoming day for hours, they heard about cinema and movies before but never watched it, much less in a big screen, Dakota describe it to Y/N as Ellie had described to her that night, it seems absurd and fantastic. Y/N loved how much about the world her little sister knew about. They talked about what story they wanted to watch as a movie, Y/N had many stories on her mind, but Dakota wanted something bible related and she thought that was funny, they don't even remember falling asleep, it had been a while since they slept together, in the morning it felt sweet and nostalgic, Y/N remembered when they used to have slumber parties and late nigh tea raves as they used to call.

After breakfast Y/N put on her boots and left to tend to the animals, they were probably waiting for her, she secretly gave them fruit salads during summer.

While brushing her horse she heard someone else walk in the stable.

-"Dad?"- She asked without looking.

-"I'm looking for him as well…"- A man said. She turned around with a gasp and when she saw Joel she gasped again, her whole body exploding with goosebumps.

-"Dear lord!"- She caught her breath and he exhaled a laugh.

-"Didn't know I was that ugly."- He said approaching her.

-"I just wasn't expecting you…"- She stuttered a bit, already red as one of her tomatoes. -"... And you are not… ugly…"- She was staring again, at his strong neck and chest.

-"You are not ugly too…"- He walked closer and petted her horse over her shoulder, she took a deep breath, he smelled amazing, she looked up to his eyes and he was already looking down at her, she felt lightheaded.

-"Look who's here!"- Paul's voice made her exhale a very shaky breath as Joel turned to greet his friend. With large steps they met in the middle of the stable and hugged, slapping each other's backs.

-"Damn you are punctual, I was just finishing some tasks but Y/N can do it for me, right sweetie?’’- Paul winked at her and she just nodded.

-‘’I'll go kiss Laura goodbye and grab some lunch for us, be right back."- Paul slapped his friend's arm and ran back home. Joel walked towards the stable entrance and looked around the farm, you could see it all from there, even the river in the horizon. It was a beautiful piece of land, even prettier under the summer sun. Joel always wanted to own a farm, it was his idea of an ideal life. She approached him slowly.

-"It's gorgeous right?''- She said, now beside him.

-"You are very lucky…''- He looked at her and she looked stunning, the breeze blowing her hair ever so slightly, the thin layer of sweat on her neck, her gorgeous lips, tired eyes looking so lovingly at her farm, her breast so soft under her white dress, it was an old dress and under that strong sun it turned a bit transparent, he swallowed dry and looked away, in a fraction of a second he thought of them as a couple, taking care of that farm and having kids, he felt like he would want her pregnant all the time, fuck, how amazing she would look pregnant in those summer dresses. He snapped out of it when he felt his dick twitch. "What the fuck Joel, you are older than her dad!" He cursed himself in his mind and cleaned his throat. His eyes found Paul and Laura in the distance, kissing passionately, he looked at Y/N with the intention of telling her goodbye but she was staring at her parents, eyebrows slightly furrowed.

-"I've never kissed anyone… Is it good?"- She asked looking up at him, he nearly choked on his saliva and looked away, unable to stare back at her after that. He watched as Paul walked towards them, he knew she was still looking at him, waiting for an answer.

-"It is… It's very good…"- His heart was pounding and his face was red hot.

-"I want to be kissed…"- She whispered to herself and looked forward again, he tensed up and there was that damn twitch again. "Holy shit!" he thought as he adjusted his pants.

-"What are you two talking about?"- Paul asked as he walked in between them, into the stable. She looked at Joel again, his eyes meeting hers finally and he parted his mouth a bit looking at her wanting lips.

-"Nothing dad, just small talk…" - She said looking at Joel’s lips for a moment before walking towards her dad to help him prepare his horse, he felt empty without her eyes on him, but forced himself to ignore those feelings and walked towards his horse a few steps away from the barn.

They left for the lake and Y/N finished the tasks alone, she did it all automatically, only realizing some hours had passed when the afternoon breeze creeped under her dress. After cleaning the pigsty she sat under a tree to rest, but resting wasn't easy. She was trying to think how it would feel to kiss Joel, she touched her lips and closed her eyes, wondering if it was a sin to feel the way she felt for him, she leaned back and thought how amazing it would be to be the lady in the book, didn’t she deserve an intense romance adventure? Didn’t she deserve Joel? She fell asleep as she revisited a paragraph of the book in her mind.

"He walked into her room as she was sleeping and sat next to her bed, he watched her turning and moaning in her sleep and sighed, angry. He couldn't take it anymore, every moment without his hands on her was a wasted one, every day without hearing her voice was a disrespect for the blessing of hearing, every night they didn't spend sharing breaths and gasps was a night forgotten.

He leaned forward and cupped her cheek, she looked so peaceful, what was she dreaming about? Was there a possibility that it was about him?

She put her hand on his and opened her eyes. -"What are you doing?"- she whispered. Before he could think of an answer he risked never seeing her again, risked being hated by her family and their mutual friends and leaned down for a kiss, she gasped but closer her eyes again, accepting him, his lips was everything she ever dreamt of, so soft compared to his rough beard, his male scent mixed with the leather from his jacket was inebriating, then finally his tongue, so hot and tasty, like it was made to dance with hers, his frustrated moans even while doing something he desired for so long showed her he wanted to do so much more, now that he tasted her his desire only grew, he needed her all the time, anywhere…"

She woke up with a short gasp and looked around, as she got up and walked to her house, she wondered how they were doing, had they caught any fish… Were they swimming? The thought alone made her turn towards the lake and smile, a naughty smile that turned into a giggle. She covered her mouth still giggling and walked towards her house to get rid of all that dirt and get ready for the movie night in a few hours.

Alright, so, I wanna ramble about my Ninjago Infinity Train AU I wanna write because ubfeuhrbfenw

First things first, I'm prolly gonna write it no matter what because I'm silly like that, the poll was more so to decide if I should post it.

Second, what is Infinity Train? Well I'm here to teach you uncultured folks. Infinity Train is an animated show that centered around people boarding a train with infinite cars and being given glowing numbers on their hands, making friends with denizens, creatures who live on the train, as they go from car to car to find a way home.

I have to go into spoiler territory after this, but if you haven't watched Infinity Train, I highly recommend you do so first because it's so good and so underrated. You can watch it here!

you better have watched infinity train

It's revealed that the numbers on their hand actually represent a trauma or something in their life (divorced parents, bullying, neglect, abandonment, broken friendships, etc) they must learn to overcome to lower their number to 0 and eventually get off the train, however, if they make the situation worse, their number can go up instead.

So, essentially the Infinity Train is just a train that lowkey kidnaps people to give them therapy, top tier business.

This AU would essentially just be the Ninjago characters in a modern, normal world with no elemental powers, ninja, or anything like that, so they all live in different places and don't know who each other are.

That's until they all end up boarding the train.

Cole boards first. His rocky relationship with his father has finally pushed him to his breaking point, after his mother's death, that he never really got over, his relationship with Lou only got worse and worse until one night Cole finally decides that he's leaving, running away and boarding a train to get him as far away as he can, only for it to be the Infinity Train

Next is Jay. Jay has been struggling with bullying for years at this point, completely isolated from the other kids his age as he's looked down on for his poor life and excitable personality. Luckily, he's always had his parents who have been nothing but loving and caring to him, acting as the main source of stability in his life. That all crashes down when his class has a heritage assignment where Jay finds out he's adopted. Wanting nothing more than to hide away, the train comes to pick him up.

Zane is picked up third. I find his intro the hardest to explain, but I'll still try. Zane is mostly struggling with why he's so different and why he doesn't understand why people do things the way they do. On his mission to understand others, he accidentally gets himself in trouble again and again with the people around him. All this eventually accumulates to his single father losing his job. Feeling guilty, Zane doesn't want to be a burden on his dad any more and attempts to leave to try to live on his own, causing him to board the train.

Kai and Nya board the train at the same time. Like in the show, Kai and Nya are left to raise themselves since a young age, causing them to grow up in an incredibly stressful situation. One night they get into an argument about how each of them thinks the other is sacrificing too much. Kai is frustrated and stressed that Nya is pushing herself so hard to be perfect and wants to drop out so he'll be spending less money and Nya is frustrated and stressed that Kai has already dropped out and completely thrown away his life for her. This eventually accumulates to Nya storming out, only for her to be forcefully picked up by the train, Kai getting taken as well when he tries to save her. They wake up on the train separated.

Finally, Lloyd boards the train. For as long as he can remember, it's just been him and his mom against the world. She tries to earn enough money to take care of her son while Lloyd is often mistreated by everyone due to crimes his, now missing, father committed. It causes everyone to see him as a danger and Lloyd to feel like a burden on his mom. One night, when walking home, Lloyd is ambushed and beaten up by a group of teens, only for the train to suddenly pull up, scaring them away. Lloyd, however, is drawn to it, which causes him to board the train. While on it, he quickly learns that something and that he's different due to huis number being broken, glitching and giving him secret messages.

From there, we follow the characters' journeys on the train as they meet characters from throughout ninjago, some are fellow passengers, others are denizens, friends and foes are made, battles are fought, the six characters all working towards getting home as they eventually become their found family of six.

SO YA- IDK- I HOPE THAT EXPLAINS IT AND POSSIBLY MAKES SOME OF YOU INTERESTED IN READING IT, OR AT LEAST GOT YOU INTERESTED IN WATCHING INFINITY TRAIN CUZ ITS SO GOOD YALL AND IM SO PISSED ABOUT IT BEING CANCELLED ISTG

A,M,N!!

Allo Lovely <3

A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

I've never been good at choosing just one of my babies. tbh my faves change often. currently, right this moment; my fave is 'like an avalanche' because I've reread it soooo much in the last month+ since I posted.

M: What’s the weirdest AU scenario you’ve ever come up with? Did it turn into a story?

Weirdest would prolly have to be the Cotton Swab Drabble. lmao. I know we talk about some wild plots on here and I know I people say some of my ideas are kinda wild/out there. But I think the cotton swab drabble is the furthest left I've gone? If not, I'd be very interested to hear what you think its the weirdest one lol

N: Any fic ideas brewing that you’d care to share?

I actually have a bunch of AUs that I've started but haven't had like the energy to continue just yet.

I have that medevial omegaverse that I first brought up months ago that I stopped to write 3 Roses lmao, I need to jump back into that one.

I have a Dog!Daniel transformation fic I'm trying to write for the That Trope You Hate fest.

I have a Tarzan AU that Em has 'challenged' me to write. Meaning it came up, she said 'you should write that', my brain went 'hmmm...'

And I did actually start writing more on the third part of Gril!Dan and some actual Sponsor Max fic.

I'll give a snippet of Sponsor Max since I know thats the one everyone's really excited about lmao

“You want to fuck me… and you’ve paid off my team to be able to do it.” Daniel felt hollow at the realization. That Peter had essentially pimped him out, that the jokes about whoring him out for sponsors were more on the money than anyone anticipated. Max winced. “Of course it sounds so crass when you say it like that, I think.” “That’s exactly what it is!” Daniel felt himself getting hysterical. Max stood up and walked over to him slowly and Daniel felt like a caged animal. “That’s not what it is. We’ll have something real, Daniel. Of course I know this. You know this too, maybe.” “You can’t be serious.” “I am tired of talking in circles around this. I want to kiss you now Daniel.” Max held Daniel’s tense jaw and pressed their lips together.

anywho, if any of yall wanna like manifest some fic lmao I'm very ok with you asking the universe to give me the inspiration/energy to write it lmao

hi its the original cheetz animator anon again and SO SORRY for kicking off drama then dipping for days. however, this is gonna get LONG.

cheetz' entire work model screams offloading shit onto other people so they can produce as much as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Weekend maps (baby's first crunch culture), 200-part maps with 3 collabers on each one (literally 0 problem with collaboration and its very cool [even if its solely because of the insane crunch], but I'll get to why Im bringing it up), and TRAILERS for their maps to generate as much hype as possible for them. What these create is hundreds of videos about The New Cheeteh Z Map, thus boosting cheetz in the algorithm MASSIVELY.

To break it down, each of the 200 map part creators will post a video with the map title in it, pushing the topic out to as many people as possible. the trailer is there for the existing subs, making SURE they watch at the premiere and again putting the "X Cheeteh Z MAP" topic as smth that anyone who vaguely likes maps needs to watch Right Now. Premiere happens, everyone watches, maybe skims the part playlist, and subs to cheetz (or at least flags to yt that theyre interested in their vids). Because this happens every 3 weeks, it's a consistent stream of content running back to them. its the exact same content-farming dr**k did lmfaoo

The same thing happens to hype the animators for The Next Big Project in the server. I think it was hollyfawn that had a 10-day @/everyone spree with like? a scavenger hunt? to tease that the next project was coming, prepare to apply!!11! To add onto it, they literally dont even do the storyboarding themself. They recruit like 5 other people to do it and cheetz'll help out. This is why the visual language is as disjointed as it is, and no hate towards the board artists! Its just that everyone has different styles and cheetz isnt exactly there to unify it aside from some meaningless symbols (does anyone actually know what hawkstorm's wings mean. anyone?)

Now that we've dissected my perspective on cheetz' content creation style, I've done a wee bit of research on my end with the analytics of my vids.

DISCLAIMER: I am a smallish channel with a few hundred subs and I only upload once every couple months. in fact I'm in the process of divorcing myself from wc so its prolly gonna have a massive subdrop as soon as I upload original animations. I am also one person and have not corroborated my findings with any other animators. Part 2 of the disclaimer: Tigernoir was never finished. After the controversy and threats against the host+animators we agreed to call it off and unlist/priv/delete our parts.

The difference in analytics between my TN part and my other unrelated parts that have a fairly large amount of views within the same amount of time is Notable. This is based on the 4-day mark of each part being up (the numbers are accurate because these were recorded then, and not pulled up Now):

The unrelated part got 1.8k views by then, TN got 2.3k. the difference is the interactions though. By the 4-day mark, the unrelated part had 36k impressions, accessed thru the sidebar (a 5% watchrate), and TN had 10k impressions (23%), accessed mainly thru the playlist. TN had 4 comments by then, Unrelated had 12. Unrelated gained me 50 subs, TN gained 10.

Obviously 2 vids from one person can't be Concrete Evidence, so my theory for this is that people are just skimming through the playlist without actually Intending to watch the videos. With the algorithm, even though a smaller percentage clicked the video, the views clearly had their eye caught and chose to check it out. This meant the viewers were actually engaged with the content and chose to see what else the uploader had going. TN's part on the other hand was just kinda There and automatically watched, then likely skipped onto the next part when the process section began.

In all, the focus is not on the animator when it comes to a cheetz map from what I've noticed. It is quite literally All About Cheetz, and he doesnt do anything but PROMOTE that with their content creation style and how he interacted with the people that work for him. Downright disheartening, and this style becoming fairly mainstream + their fans mirroring it is a very large part why im packing my bags from the warriors animation scene. Once again, sorry abt the length! but that anon did drive me mildly berserk and I needed to delve a bit deeper into my stance.

all i can really say is that that sucks man. i'm glad you're trying to pursue something that makes you happy tho! i really hope you gain the traction you desire along your journey! ik all the animators on cheeteh z's maps are like super fantastic so like i can already imagine how good your content will be..

#you dont have to but..i could sub if you want #if you send ur channel name but you dont have to obvs #not a confession #?#text #asks #anonymous #cheeteh z #long post #srry for posting late btw. i forgort abt this

So after the most recent twitter meltdown I think I'm gonna start using tumblr a little bit more lol, so I just wanna do a little intro here

Hi!! I'm Spoken World, I make music/write fanfics once every 3000 years but I'm mostly reblogging random stuff (prolly post every now and then tho)

Latin american (from Venezuela to be more precise)

25 y/o

Any pronouns

I'm in A LOT of fandoms, so I'll be posting/reblogging about a bunch of different stuff but my current ones are The Owl House, Amphibia, Chainsaw Man, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Cowboy Bebop, Pokemon, Doki Doki Literature Club, Total Drama and Sousou no Frieren (As you can see my favorite medium is animation lol)

And finally, my music taste can go basically anywhere, I'm on the mindset that if there's an artist out there, then it has to have a song that I like. That being said my favorite music genres are Metal and Techno (more specifically DnB/Jungle/Breakcore)

So yeah, that's it lol, if anyone wanna be friends then... interact with this post I guess? I've never done this before so I'm not sure to know how this goes lol, but yeah, interact with this post so I can follow you

I'll update this post every once in a while

With the Beatles (1963)

Time for part 2 of CutCat Reviews Beatles Albums now it's February!

An iconic picture to be sure, but I'm not wild on it. Maybe it reminds me too much of trying to fit pictures into a small MS Paint Canvas? lol

Like with Please Please Me, I think there's some songs that slipped under the osmosis radar and that I ain't heard in full. Though I think the only albums I've listened to from start to finish all in order are the 1 CD, Revolver and Sgt Pepper, so I'll stop mentioning it on these early and the later ones... We're also still in "a fair few Covers" country, so will I be as mild on them as I was on the Non-Boys of PPM?

SIDE ONE

It Won't Be Long: I first heard this fairly recently, on the radio that was playing in another room. My thoughts weren't that strong, other than that "She Loves You" does the Yeah! repetition better lmao. Having been able to it properly since, though, I'm a lot warmer to it! It's optimistic and energetic, and the even higher amount of Yeahs is funny (though I maintain that SLY easily wins the Yeah Battle... but more on that when I reach it~). Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!

All I've Got To Do: This one seems to get slept on a lot... it's pretty solid, but it doesn't really offer any particular Iconic moments. The chorus shakes things up in a nice way but it seems Sticking Power ain't something it has. It's one of many songs that go to show how amazing this band was, as this isn't bad, but it's been left far behind by the other songs they've blessed us with, innit?

All My Loving: Now THIS is a memorable song! Such a jaunty guitar with the direct words! A real narrative is being laid out, albeit as an assertion of future things being promised~ Ah nuts, it blasted my memory of the previous song outta my head... XD - Seems this is the only one that got Red Album'd in this list? Wild that it's only the 1, but I think the right choice was made.

Don't Bother Me: George time! I'm not clear on if the narrative here is a post-breakup or if he's being dramatic about a spell away from the GF, but the main crux is that he doesn't want non-GF contact at that point in time. It's much moodier than most'a their stuff from this time, and there's more damn nice instrumental work.

Little Child: The title on it's own has me somewhat 8(, and the lyrics unfortunately confirm this [albeit Dancing on it's own ain't that bad, but one knows Dancing is often a euphemism in songs like this, or a precursor to more]... I'm sorry for such a negative, potentially pearl-clutching response. But also the music isn't charming me enough to coax me into softening my view. The first real Dud of this album, imo.

Till There Was You: Now THIS, I like! I was baffled why this seems to fly under the radar of Iconic Beatles Songs, but I since found out it's a cover, so that's probably the explanation. The lyrics are decent but the real appeal is that absolutely gorgeous guitar work and bongos, they provide such a warm feel~ It's also giving me strong "Anime Ending Credits Sequence" vibes, which I'm quite partial to ^w^ ...Issit just me or does Paul gain a slight Irish accent when he says "no, I never heard (them/it) at all" :0c

Please Mr. Postman: This I DID know was a cover from the start, haha! It's a very catchy song, but even with my sizable Beatle Bias, I can't really commit to declaring this one as the best... it's very good and very listen-able, but it may be that the definitive Mr Postman is somewhere else...

SIDE TWO

Roll Over Beethoven: Again, it's a cover, but I've not heard Chuck Berry's OG take at the time of writing. The song is pretty groovy, George's vocals ring nicely. I'm not dazzled, but I like it well enough :>

Hold Me Tight: Another Beatles original, another one that tends to get omitted from Mentions...! It's nice, but a lot plainer than most'a the stuff, lacks a certain Pizazz

You Really Got a Hold on Me: Another cover, one I've prolly heard before by a non-Beatles act, while this one is another Fine, Inoffensive romp that I lack strong feelings for lol

I Wanna Be Your Man: Now I know this one was somewhat famously given to The Rolling Stones, and I even heard that played on the radio too. When it was their version, I wasn't impressed. Sung by Ringo, as it had been intended initially? ....I'm still not that impressed. Mostly in the lyrics, it's real repetitive! But my Ringo bias keeps it afloat, and it's odd Mid-ness makes it more memorable than others on this album.

Devil In Her Heart: A good cover, this! George doing nice vocals and the candance to the title is catchy, and ooooh the instruments in the background are also fun, are those maracas I hear? It gets bonus points for the harmonies disagreeing with the lead too, hehe

Not A Second Time: The last original of this album, and it's not really doing it for me. Something about it kinda blurs into itself. Their later betrayal type numbers are more my bag, baby

Money (That's What I Want): And we're closing the experience with one more cover. I dig the instruments, most notably the piano, but the song itself is just, like, whatever lmao, Maybe it's too overtly materialistic and a bit listless? Man oh man does the Pink Floyd Money blow this outta the water lmaooo

CONCLUSION

Best 3: It Won't Be Long, All My Loving, Till There Was You

Blurst 3: Little Child, Not A Second Time, Money (That's What I Want)

Overall Quality?: An improvement over Please Please Me, though in a way it's more level quality makes it a bit harder to pick the best at least best songs in it. Most of the covers are again decent but not amazing, and the originals are hit and miss. Unfortunately it seems side 1 got the Lion's Share of memorable, fun numbers, leaving side 2 with also-rans, though in that is Devil in Her Heart at least!

🪲🪲🪲🪲

On the next part, it shall have been (?) A Hard Day's Night and its all-original song lineup! Just the Album though, if I'm looking at the Film it'll be another, separate instalment ^w^;

#The Beatles #With The Beatles #CutCat listens to Bug Music #Music Review #Sorry if some'a my comments are kinda limp but they can't all electrify me and inspire me to write yanno!#I would also like to issue an Apology to Anna (Go To Him) on the previous one #I'm not going back to modify that post but it wasn't a Blurst 3. I just got put off by the harmonies sounding a little off #there's much worse than that on this! lol #but this one has real bangers too~

brainrot imagine #1 of captain junpei hyuga

a/n: WELP, here goes nothing 😂 i said i was gonna write imagines for the list of headcanons that i wrote for this jackass so here's the first one lol i have the original post of the headcanons here so feel free to check it out!! i'll be numbering them as it follows so enjoyyyyy <3

summary: hyuga would have prolly kept his blond hair if you told him you liked it

First day of high school always had a rush of excitement everyone! Well, maybe not everyone but at the very least, you were excited. You didn't really understand the people who weren't excited, you always had a knack for trying new things or not knowing all the answers, I guess it was just a unique quirk you have. What really got your going was seeing your friends again, your good ol' middle school besties who evidently decided to attend the same high school as you.

You walk out your front door just after yelling, "I'm heading out!! See you later!" to your Mom, and just like clockwork your middle school friend, Shun Izuki, walks by. This was a regular occurrence, you guys had lived close by to each other for nearly your whole lives so commuting to school together wasn't at all a weird thing.

"Good morning y/n, how was your break?" Izuki asks.

"It wasn't too bad! I got to catch up on some some of my manga and anime, I also got to watch this really cool movie in theatres with Riko! It was a lot of fun, what about you, Izuki?"

Izuki proceeds to tell you about his break as you guys head towards the train station. You guys laugh and talk, just catching up and talking about the most random things. You guys make it to school, waving and saying hello to some other friends from middle school. You guys find the master list and check which home room class you're in. Funny enough, you and Izuki are in the same class.

"Oh cool, check it out! Hyuga is gonna be in our class too!" Izuki blurts out as he's skimming the rest of your class list.

"Oh nice, too bad Riko got assigned to a different class. I was excited to start high school with her."

As you guys continue skimming the other class lists, you both hear a subtle, "Damnit," and a familiar groan behind your shoulders. You both turn around, hoping to see your hot-headed tsundere friend but only find a tall guy with bleached blond hair of the same stature walking away.

"Huh, I thought for sure I heard Hyuga just now." You say to Izuki. Before you know it, Izuki is catching up to the guy you just saw walking away from you both.

"Hey, Hyuga. Hyuga!"

"Shut up. I hear you." The bleach blond turns around and low and behold, it's Junpei Hyuga. He continues and says, "Izuki..."

"Hey. We're in the same class again." Izuki can barely say it before he bursts into hysterical laughter. "I can't take it!" You smile in your place and start walking towards your idiotic friends.

"What's so funny?!" Hyuga blurts out just as Izuki starts to compose himself.

Izuki goes, "It doesn't look right. You bleached your hair at the start of high school. That's not something a basketball player does."

Hyuga turns around to look away from Izuki's face. With a hint of disappointment in his tone, he says, "Of course it isn't."

"Good morning Hyuga-san!! I like the new hairdo, are you auditioning for a movie or something?" Hyuga abruptly turns around to find you standing with Izuki, who starts to giggle again after you address his hair. You and Izuki can't help but make more jokes about Hyuga's hair, growing in volume and laughter as you keep going. Hyuga groans in his spot, shoving his hands further into his pockets. You wipe away a couple tears from laughing so hard and look up at Hyuga, but you can't help but notice that he's… blushing?

That's a little weird, didn't think I'd ever see the day where Hyuga blushes, you think to yourself.

"Hey, c'mon now Hyuga-san! We're just messing around with you!" You playfully whack his arm to lighten the mood, then link arms with the tsundere which only made him blush even harder. He looks up towards the ceiling to make it less obvious but you already know and Izuki already knows.

"C'mon Izuki! Let's get to class so everyone else can see this God awful hair! I can't wait until Riko sees it too!" Hyuga groans again and tries pushing you away, but evidently fails. You were always like this with Hyuga, even with Izuki and Riko. You guys had always been friends and you couldn't imagine a day where you wouldn't. Inappropriate inside jokes, playful teasing and childish behaviour weren't new to you guys, if anything it was the norm.

You get to the door of your classroom and let go of Hyuga's arm just as you're about to walk in with Izuki. But Hyuga stops in his footsteps. Izuki runs in alone, seeing another friend from middle school who he wanted to ask a question. You turn around to see Hyuga once again blushing, but this time with a huge frown on his face.

You study his face for a bit before saying, "C'mon Hyuga-san. We were only teasing you, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything. It's not even that bad, y'know? If you just toned it a bit to make it a less harsh colour and cut your hair so it doesn't cover your face, it'd actually look kinda nice!"

You stepped forward on your tip toes and use your hands to hold up some of the longer pieces of Hyuga's hair, trying to get a better vision of what it would look like with a good haircut. Hyuga watches you play around with his hair, so deep in focus you can hardly notice that he's watching you so intently. You catch his gaze for a moment and he looks away and his shoulders tense up. You smile and place both of your hands on his shoulders to try and get him to relax.

"Y'know what! If you took off a couple inches and maybe faded the sides and the back, it would look really good! Oh my god, I can see it now! You'd be THE BEST looking guy in our class! Wait no, maybe our entire grade!" You laugh out loud and Hyuga flinches before looking right at you, wide-eyed and completely shocked at everything you just said.

"Hmm, honestly the more I look at you, the more I start to like the look. Who knew you'd make it as a blond." Hyuga smiles a bit, before scratching the back of his head and looking away.

"You really think so?" He awkwardly asks.

"Oh, I KNOW so! I'm a little disappointed though. You would think that the barber's son would be more knowledgeable about haircuts and hairstyles, but alas, it is I who would outsmarted the nerd with glasses." You replied.

Before Hyuga can even reply with his own snarking comment, you grab him by the arm again and walk into class together. Hyuga could never seem to keep up with you. Sure, he had grown to deal with Izuki's awful puns and Riko's playful banter and obvious violence, but there was always something about you that always caught him off-guard. Maybe it was the way you always knew what he was thinking? Or maybe it was because you always knew how to make him feel better. Regardless, it was nice to have someone like you that provided him a safe space for his thoughts and all his feelings.

You both walk into class saying hello to old classmates and some more friends. After a while, Hyuga trails behind a little and watches you socialize. He always admired you but would rather die than say it out loud. He always felt like saying something but he could never quite come up with the words.

So instead, he stands back and watches you in your element until the teacher walks in and you all scurry towards your desks.

Just as you're all sitting down, Hyuga turns to you and you flash him a big goofy smile, he smiles back softly.

Huh, maybe it isn't too bad. I guess I'm willing to keep the blond around for a bit before dyeing it back... If y/n thinks it's nice then maybe I'll just have to keep it like this, it's the last thing Hyuga thinks just before class officially starts.

closing a/n: and woop de doo! that's the end of my first imagine! i hope it met your expectations lmfaoooo i had a lot of fun writing this so i hope you enjoy it! Idk how to cut a post so it doesn't show the entire thing :/ maybe it's bcas i'm on my phone hahah so i'll figure it out one day for ya guys

To Kill a Rose is one of my favorite things I've done. I wish I had more than a month to work on it, but given the time I had, it turned out really good I think. So, with bigger time slots now, the shorts should be better quality moving forward, too, which is something else I'm super excited about.

@raccoonspooky

:00 ya tagged me! In a Lil about me game. Whoa!

I'll tag @visceravalentines , @pastelwizard , @early20sfailingplenty, @sunnygang , @ijustdontknowsometimes

Nickname: Dingo!

Age: 22 as of a week ago lol

Height: 5'1"; would be 5'3 or 4 if my spine wasn't goofy

Song in my head: Will Stetson's cover of Ashura-chan

Sign: Pisces sun, Aries moon, cancer rising ^_^

Sleep: Dubious. I usually have to get high before I sleep cause I'm a nervous wreck half the time when I'm sober :'))

Last google search: "Dog facing camera meme"

Dream job: content creation! I'm working on it now. I've got a video in the works actually. I'll prolly end up posting sometime next week. It's a bit behind (I wanted it out before my birthday) because the file corrupted, and now my uncles graduation is tomorrow so I'm traveling tonight :'))

Wearing: blue pinstripe overalls with a tear in the inner thigh, a "having fun with chainsaws" TCM shirt my ex bought me, green plaid, and peeling green tortoise shell glasses uwu

Fav instrument: I'm biased, but I love the cello. In middle school I signed up for orchestra and both violin sections were too full and I didn't wanna be basic and go with the viola :')) and I didn't wanna lug around a huge bass. So I picked the cello. I made it to regional, actually! I was technically 12th in state?

Fav song: Rolling Girl by Wowaka ft. Hatsune Miku (rip King I miss u </3)

Fav authors: I haven't read enough books to have a fav author so I'll do fav director here. Most the books I read are esoteric in nature if not psychological anyways. Plus I'm bad at remembering names lmao; even with normal celebrities. If I haven't seen them in at least two or three movies, I probably won't know their name :'3

As for my fav director, it's Satoshi Kon! Perfect Blue was a master piece and it's a shame he died before he got to make more movies. Paprika was also super good.

Fav animal noise: cicadas! They remind me of an old horror anime I love, and remind me of when I was a kid and I wasn't allowed to have a cell phone so my friends and I used the landlines to do a multi way convo :'))

Runner ups are kitten purrs and the scream a red fox does when it finds its mate. (Red foxes mate for life (usually) and make a special scream when they find their "one" where they hold each other's arms and tell the forest to fuck off <3)

Fav color: most shades of pastel and anything red. But I especially love wine colors (they make my skin look prettier uwu)

Last song: .... will stetson's cover of Ashura-chan

Last series: I've been rewatching Hell Girl to try to finish it this time. I think I stopped on 8 but I don't remember what the hell happened |D

Sorry I'm a chatter box. I don't talk to many people often ^_^;; I'm working on some trust issues haha

I gotta know your answers to the last Ask Post in regards to Ace Attorney… I’m on an AA kick right now (did I ever come off of it? Who can say?). Hope you’re having a good day! 💛

Thanks!! And my day is going alright, though it's been very warm where I am, making me very sleepy, ha. Good thing I have this next week off work. ^-^

But now, onto answering this question **Warning, there will be mild spoilers for the AA games ahead. You have been warned):

my favorite female character This one is a little tricky, but in the end I'd have to say Maya. Her character is very sweet and helpful, so I would say she's prolly my favorite female character.

my favorite male character Pssh. Miles Edgeworth, duh. ;-) I mean, do I even have to explain??? Though, Phoenix is pretty nifty too.

my favorite book/season/etc I'm going to take this as 'favorite game.' To which I will say... honestly, prolly the first one. I just really like Phoenix and Edgeworth's dynamic, and all that. Also, it's the only game the Game Grumps have played, so it had a bit more investment to me. I have seen the others in the original trilogy, as well as Apollo Justice, but without any commentary, so it was just like watching a show or something.

my favorite episode (if its a tv show) I'll take this one as 'favorite trial.' To which I'll say... hm... prolly Turnabout Goodbyes or Bridge to the Turnabout. I like Turnabout Goodbyes since it was a nice end to the first game, and I like Bridge to the Turnabout since it had a lot of good twists and, of course, it had Edgeworth pretending to be a defense attorney. What's not to like???

my favorite cast member Uh... I would assume this means voice actor in this regard? But since the original games don't have much of the way of voice acting, I'll just... do the anime, I suppose. And for that, I guess Phoenix's voice actor? I'll admit, I'm not super knowledgeable about actors or voice actors or all that, sorry.

my favorite ship Wrightworth, duh.

a character I’d die defending Hm... prolly Edgeworth?

a character I just can’t sympathize with Manfred von Karma. I think my reasoning for this one is obvious.

a character I grew to love Prolly Maya. I didn't like her all that much at first, but I grew to love her.

my anti otp Uh... none?? I don't really have one, I don't think.

Thanks for the ask! :-D

Send me a fandom and I'll answer these questions

hii! I don't think my last ask reached you </3 Tumblr is seriously out to get me ugh. PRAYING YOU GET THIS!!

I fell really sick and had covid and all. but I'm much better now woohoo.

I think every person has that game that they played as kids? like for me it's been street fighter, gta lol. any time I play those games I feel like I'm a kid again.

I love Ichigo’s theme! but also battle ignition (if that's the name?) Any music from the soul society arc is really my favorite and I listen to it on repeat!!

holy shit the cyberpunk genre sounds so interesting?!! I'll have to look in to that. I mainly read fantasy, be it urban or historical. I'm currently reading two series simultaneously. “the poppy war” and “mistborn”. both are so good omg!! I love books that just mess up your head for a while and make you think from a whole other perspective.

oh hey again! yes, i’m afraid i didn’t get the ask, though i think i should also initiate conversations more often. i’m pretty sure i’m becoming an enemy of the deep tumblr state as well because i’m 100% sure they shadowbanned me hahaha so i have no idea in which measure my posts reach everyone.

oh wow, covid? it must’ve sucked so bad, sorry that you had to go through it and i hope you’ve made a complete well recovery. as a matter of fact everybody in my family had it at some point but i never did, it must be a dumb luck thing LOL

oh yeah, that’s prolly an implicit thing. i’ve had quite a handful, gta or counter strike happen to be among them. aside from that, i’ve played a grimace of facebook and browser games as a kid, it was a total mess. but i kind of miss them sometimes because it was probably the most peaceful period of my life.

battle ignition is also among my favorites, along with the precipice of defeat. they play really early in the series so i guess i have this tie to nostalgia with them. other than that, i really love clavar la espada and la distancia para un duelo, which makes me think about what osts we’ll get when the quincy war gets animated 👀 vewy exciting

i’m being pretty virtuos about cyberpunk haha, it’s also a great aesthetic to get by. i wish it’d have more literary uptakes on it, but in my experience the worldbuilding of a cyberpunk-centered universe might be significantly more difficult. i’m glad to know your picks are enjoyable reads, i hope you’re having lots of fun! my attention span is all over the place these days so i either read 100 pages a day or nothing an entire week, i’ve started the second book of can’t fear your own world by tite kubo and ryogo narita, the series has hisagi shuhei as the main character and this insight of his universe makes me love him a lot. on the other hand i’ve also resumed dune by frank herbert which i have on hold for almost a year haha, i got hooked into this book because one of my favorite music albums and it’s pretty fun, albeit a bit long and difficult

> what's with the studyblr (and my goals)

to regain the motivation to study

to make studying a lifestyle because there's so much to learn and so little time and its amazing how our minds are capable of grasping all these infos.

to meet people who share the same goals and struggles in academics as i dooo! becoz we're in this togetherr (and the pandemic made me forget how to socialize with people so send help pls)

have been wanting to study french since i was 12, and for a while i kind of did? (if watching french series and memorizing french songs is called studying, then yes, i did) but now i wanna be serious about this thing

aside from learning business, i am also a student of poetry (this is a hobby/interest of mine that i long to integrate into my daily tasks as i believe that writing is a muscle. it must be exercised regularly so that it may tone up and develop<33).

> what's in the blog

prolly my dark academia obsession (several topics in this culture)

daily tasks

my journey in poetry! i'm making this poetry account in IG (and Tumblr, soon). i'll be sharing the link and username in my future posts :)))

beastars episode 24 thoughts!

this post got kinda long i have Many Thoughts on this one

Overall I had fun watching this ep but I could really tell it was rushed and there was so much that got cut, which makes me super sad. our fears about the finale having pacing issues due to all the added scenes & rearranging were confirmed & it rly sucks, but i'll elaborate more on that in a bit.

this week's ep covered the end of chapter 92, chapters 93-97, and included small bits of chapters 98 & 99.

so the ep starts with the ED and the latter part of the tunnel scene with ibuki and louis. i liked the visual effect they used to show that they were in the dark. louis' voice acting was also On Point. for the most part i think this scene was done pretty well but I can tell it's being rushed also. I really wish we got more buildup and narration instead of just jumping straight to ibuki telling louis to shoot him. the way it is in the anime feels less impactful imo.

also im sad we didnt get to see this in the anime

before i move on, i wanna talk a bit about louis and his relationship w/ the shishigumi and ibuki. i feel like in the anime quite a few of the lil moments that really endear you to the shishigumi and also ibuki were either cut or kinda glossed over, which is strange to me considering how much effort and care went into the ED. it's very emotional and good but i feel like maybe anime onlies are missing out only seeing the anime and the MV. but idk.

legosi and riz's fight was quite rushed as well. there's so much narration and dialogue missing from it and that really rubs me the wrong way. It wasn't all bad but compared to the manga I just don't think it's as good. I will say tho that I really liked the sequence w legosi and the moths. I thought it looked really nice and was pretty well done.

also i liked how the backgrounds had some anti-yahya graffiti, its a nice touch imo

it says "high quality horse meat"

I was happy to see legosi do the "tell me more" pose but I'm honestly disappointed that the anime took out the whole exposition about why legosi did it. like i feel like without that it's just legosi being weird when he has a reason for it!!! This is just one example of the anime taking out crucial narration during the fight.

I also think it's kinda weird how they changed how louis shows up at the fight. im not sure how i feel about riz just charging at him like that, but i liked how legosi kicked him before they ran lol.

i dont have much to say about pina's small scene but I did wanna say that during my first watch thru of the ep i was too distracted trying to read the graffiti behind him that i didn't notice him getting his phone out of the dumpster and calling the cops lmao

it says "devour yahya"

and now... here we are... the predation scene.

overall i thought it was pretty well done but, like the rest of the ep, i could tell it was also being kinda rushed. some important beats werent given enough time to really sink in, and there's a few bits of narration taken out of this part as well that i find disappointing :^(

tho i did like how the anime called back to this scene in s1 when legosi mentions utilizing his strength.

also this part where louis is remembering ibuki had me like😭

I also really liked seeing louis cry. I was crying too sjdflskjdflsjkdf. i thought that scene was really good, its prolly my favorite part of the ep tbh. getting to hear the whole predation scene voiced made me kind of a mess lol. i really liked louis' expressions throughout this whole ep too. studio orange used their whole louis expression budget on these last 2 eps lmao.

seeing legosi instantly get all beefed up was great too. he looked a little ridiculous but i kinda loved it lol. he's so huge and poofy. i love him.

big pomeranian

anyway, im also sad they took out louis' line about being reduced to a flashback character lol. instead he tells legosi "be a hero" again which... im not sure about that change. i liked the part with riz thinking back about tem tho. tho imo the way riz realizes he's in the wrong feels pretty sudden. again adding to how rushed the whole ep feels.

before i move on again i just wanna say legosi looks so cute. even all puffed up and covered in blood. how does he do that

baby boy baby. i wanna ruffle his cheek floofs.

i think one of the things im most disappointed about from this whole ep was how the fight got wrapped up. i really like how the cops show up and totally shift the tone in the manga jslkdfjskljdf. im also really sad we didnt get this interaction

tthe anime really took out most of the sillier moments from the finale, which makes me pretty sad to think about. i know the anime and manga have different tones but pls let the boys be silly sometimes!!

the next part where legosi and louis finally establish their friendship was really cute tho ❤️ even tho it was pretty different i enjoyed it a lot.

BABIESSSS 🥺😭❤️❤️

the wrap-up for this arc and this episode gave me whiplash sdjlfkjsdf. it literally speedruns thru legosi's predation conviction, being released, louis & haru's graduation, and legosi deciding he's going to drop out of school. that is SO MUCH AT ONCE. also i was holding out hope that legosi would have his new years call with haru after the fight instead but that didnt happen!! so it just got cut!!! kinda mad about that tbh. legosi and haru having a lil scene at the very end made up for it a lil bit but that's still one of haru's few moments in this arc that's just not included.

we didnt even get the part wher legosi learns he can't marry haru bc of his conviction.

ive been really hoping for a season 3 announcement once this season ended. with all the background allusions to yahya, the added plot point of someone stealing elephant tusks, and sebun and melon's lil cameos in this season, it seemed to me that studio orange was kinda teasing a 3rd season. but now, with the dismissive way the anime ended, and paru's note from earlier today, im less sure about the possibility of a 3rd season. i'd still like to see the rest of the series animated, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see if more anime is announced in the future.

if we do get another season in the future i just hope that we swing back around and actually address the things that got completely glossed over in the last couple minutes of this episode instead of charging forward w/o touching them again.

i really think the finale for this arc should've been two episodes at least. not including the tunnel scene. i think then things wouldn't have felt so rushed. people have been saying this season really would have benefitted from at least 1 extra episode and i cant help but agree. some have even suggested a whole 24 episodes just for this arc, but i think that this arc couldve been done properly with 12 or 13 episodes if there was some better prioritizing on what to include and what to cut.

like i dont mind not getting the parts about legosi's family if they can be addressed somehow in a future season (or if theres no more future anime seasons thats a plot thread that doesnt have to be worried about). i could have lived w/o seeing sheila & peach's chapter animated if it meant more time for the focus of this arc. and was the kangaroo red herring really necessary?

adaptation wise, i dont think this season was as good as the first. i still think it did fairly well, but i know that it could have been much better. ive been excited to watch this season with my friends once the dub releases, but now im wondering if i should just tell them to read the manga instead. sighs idk. perhaps it comes thru better as a bingewatch, or perhaps im being a bit too harsh. idk. at some point ill do a rewatch and see how i feel about the season as a whole, but that wont be for a while.

if you've read this far, thanks for reading my ramblings!! it's been fun to make these posts every week and im gonna miss getting new episodes every week.
