hi this is so random but i need to wax poetic. you have no obligation to reply to this. also i do not mean this in a parasocial way at ALL lmao i recognize that idk you trust. i first found ur blog in 2020 as a eighth grader in lockdown that was completely lost. i had lost my uncle to covid during that time and went from being a stellar student to receding into my shell and watching my grades tank. my shit home situation and undiagnosed depression led to me sinking into any form of escapism possible, mainly thru the form of books. i was super obsessed with perry johnson LMAO at the time and had all the time in the world to look into the fandom. this was around the time the unnamed author was just, like, violently and belligerently racist and scathing to any fans that questioned otherwise. being a tumblrina, i went to this site to see people comment on this, only to find you and ur mutuals were the only people openly discussing how he was just plain vile. i remember how sickened i felt seeing how you and other people of color were getting doxxed and threatened for pointing out what i thought was incredibly obvious. as a rlly sheltered person of color, this was the first time it struck me that the world was lying about how much they were actually willing to stick up for us, as before that i was just stupidly optimistic. anyways bc of that i started checking ur blog like EVERYDAY because of how much your words resonated with me. i was in complete awe of just how witty you were, and how you took no shit from people. granted this was a defense mechanism from crazy ass white fandom bitches but it was still weirdly inspiring. i still remember seeing u pull out the yale trap card so often and being like, oh shit this girl is something else lol thats hysterical. for the rest of high school i would keep up to date with u and specifically ur writing and poetry on promethes. kal i need you to realize your words actually rearranged my brain. the poems about your great grandfather, your mother, your pos friend, of being a horror, to love and to be loved is rest, everything EVERYTHING is etched into my memory. i really feel like i stumbled onto the modern fucking plato or something. anyways my critical thinking skills and love of poetry both are strongly influenced by you. i used to be the kind of person that hated everything and couldnt bear the thought of tolerating this world for another second. but your unyielding positivity and optimism, and insistence that kindness being the more difficult choice is inherently more radical really changed me. ik u didnt invent that or yadda yadda but u really made it seem real. im still learning to take each day slower, to breathe in a little deeper, but the beauty of so many things i previously dismissed is so obvious to me now. that post you made about you and ur mutuals educating a whole generation is so true lol. so just thank you. honestly thank u thank u thank you from the bottom of my heart. im a senior now who just submitted my yale application tonight and thought of you and im a little drunk right now so i think thats why i wrote this whole ass essay but just. like idk. u changed me and idek know you. i made my friend who got into princeton a trap card bc urs was so inspiring lol. anyways i truly hope you have a peaceful happy life and a good night. your soul is really such a beautiful thing and you deserve the world pls never settle for anything less
idc if it’s parasocial i love u and want the best for u and know u will go far and i almost doxxed myself by telling u the city i live in so u could look me up if you’re ever here lol. ik im a stranger or whatever but im proud of u idc ur like my adopted little sibling now. also @taumoeba yale card inspiring generations

Masterlist
Tumblr media
You leaned against your locker, watching as Isaac ran down the hallway with his new friends, passing by you once again, without even noticing. He had a big smile on his face, which was never unusual, even through all his pain and hardships he always managed to stay happy. But this smile was different. It was more of an evil smile, something that made you uncomfortable.
That was only a small change of what happened with Isaac. New friends, new clothes, new attitude. If it wasn't for his hair, you wouldn’t be able to recognize the boy in front of you. Someone who used to be your best friend, who you’d rely on for everything, someone that you were there for.
As time went on, you had only assumed you would never lose Isaac. The bond the two of you had was unbreakable. Or so you thought. Your mother used to crack jokes about you marrying Isaac, due to the bond you had with him. You’d never felt that way about anyone else.
Your mind ran past the thought of your mom as you clenched your jaw, taking a deep breath. Your mother was gone, had been for a while. But not that anyone knew.
You sniffled softly, before hearing the bell ringing, while you entered the classroom.
“Partner up,” you heard your teacher say.
You kept your head down, before seeing the shadow of someone sitting next to you.
“Partners?” you heard Isaac's voice as you sighed softly.
“Actually…” you started.
“Oh, c’mon we both know that you don't like anyone else,” he instantly began to tease you as you rolled your eyes, annoyed.
He was trying to act as nothing happened, and that he didn't spend all those past months ignoring you completely.
“Fine,” you replied softly.
You rested your head on your hand before looking at the board, doing the assignment.
---
“Are you scared?” Isaac's voice was small as the two of you stood in front of Beacon Hills High.
“No, are you?” you lied, looking up at the building.
“No,” he replied.
“Are you lying?” you asked.
“Yeah,” he sighed.
You reached for his hand, before taking a big breath.
“It’s okay, Isaac. Remember, we’ll always have each other, right?” you asked softly.
He nodded his head, before the two of you gave a small smile to each other, before opening the door, entering your new school for the first time.
---
“(Y/N)!” Isaac ran down the hall, making his way to you as you scratched your forehead, before turning around to face him.
“Yeah?” you asked.
“I went by your house last night? You didn't tell me you moved?” he asked, frowning slightly.
You dug your nails into your palms before nodding your head.
“I live with my uncle now,” you replied.
“Your uncle? I thought you hated your uncle,” he replied.
“He’s not that bad,” you muttered, opening your locker.
“Well, you told me that he has a drinking problem. And he gets scary and mean,” your eyes watered slightly before you rubbed them away.
“I don’t really have a choice,” you said.
“Why not? What about your mom?” he asked.
“I have to go to class, Isaac,” you closed your locker, taking a deep breath before you walked away from him.
---
“Isaac?” you knocked at his door, walking in slowly as he wrapped his arms around himself, rocking slightly.
The lights were off, you could barely make out his figure.
“Isaac,” you walked further into his room, turning on a lamp next to his bed while he flinched.
“Sorry,” you walked to him, putting your hand on his shoulder.
“My mom-” his voice broke as you wrapped your arms around him.
“I know, I know,” you pressed a kiss to his forehead, rocking with him slightly before he buried his head in your arms.
“I want her back,” he cried softly.
You buried your face in his hair, resting your head on top of his as he cried softly, clinging onto you tightly.
“Please don’t leave me,” he whispered.
“I’m not gonna leave you, Isaac. I’m right here,” you continued to caress his back, before the two of you laid down onto his bed, continuing to hold each other before slowly drifting off to sleep.
---
“(Y/N)!” you poked your head up, hearing someone calling your name from outside your house as you frowned.
You walked towards your window, seeing Isaac standing in the backyard.
“Isaac, what the hell are you-” you started.
“Open the window!” he yelled.
You raised an eyebrow, slightly confused as you opened the window, waiting a minute before he climbed in.
You immediately took notice to his bruises and cuts as you gasped, leading him to your bed.
“What the hell happened to you?!” you yelled.
“Keep it down! I don't want your mom to hear!” he whispered loudly.
You looked out the door, before closing it.
“D-Did you get into a-a fight or something? Oh my god,” you ran to your bathroom, grabbing your first aid kit.
His eyes instantly watered.
“This is gonna sting,” you pressed the alcohol wipe to his wound, hearing him wince.
“What happened to you?” your eyes began to water as you looked at his broken figure.
“M-My… My dad. H-He just got s-so mad, and…” he couldn't finish his words before he bit his lip, taking a shaky breath.
You felt your heart drop as you continued cleaning his wounds.
“Isaac…” your voice broke.
“I messed up, really, really badly,” he cried softly.
“No, i-it’s not your fault. God, we need to tell my mom, she can help,” you started, reaching for your door.
“No!” he ran to you, pulling you back.
“Isaac!” you started.
“No! You can’t tell anyone,” he shook his head.
“What? Isaac…” 
“No! (Y/N), please. I’m begging you just please don't say a word to anyone,” he cried softly, holding your hands.
“H-How am I supposed to help you?”
“I don't need you to help me. I just need my best friend to be here for me,” his eyes were bloodshot as you cried softly.
You nodded your head, before wrapping your arms around his shaking figure.
“Can I spend the night?” he asked.
“Of course you can,” you sniffled.
He nodded softly, as you led him to your bed, laying down with him.
---
“Why do you keep running away from me? (Y/N),” you wiped the tears from your eyes as you continued walking, hearing Isaac calling behind you.
“I had a really long day. I just want to go home, Isaac,” you replied, trying to hide your feelings.
“Why do you keep ignoring me?” you clenched your jaw, exhaling harshly as you continued walking.
“(Y/N)!” he yelled.
You froze, before letting out a frustrated sigh, turning to face him as his face dropped slightly.
“Why are you crying?” he asked softly.
“I just need you to leave me alone,” you shook your head.
“(Y/N)-”
“Stop, Isaac! Stop acting like we’re friends again! Stop acting like everything can go back to normal and we’re friends after you spend months avoiding me!” you yelled, taking him by surprise as he jumped slightly.
“I know, but-”
“There’s no but! All I want is for you to leave me alone, so why can’t you just do that?” your tears were falling freely as he kept quiet, unsure of what to say.
“I just wanted things to go back to before. I thought if I acted like nothing happened, we would be okay,” he said softly.
“It’s too late to pretend nothing happened,” your voice broke as you ran your fingers through your hair.
“Isaac, I've been by your side for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been there for you whenever you needed me. B-But…” you could barely make it through your sentence before your voice wavered.
“I needed you when my mom died but you just avoided me. And you kept avoiding me a-and ignoring me. You made me feel like I didn't matter to you, that our friendship meant nothing. That hurt. I don’t need you coming back here and making all that pain come back,” you cried softly.
“I’m so sorry, (Y/N). You have to believe me, I-I wanted to be with you, I wanted to be by your side but I couldn't. I can’t explain and I know it sounds so shitty and I know what I did to you was terrible,” he stroked your cheek softly, looking down at you.
“I can’t explain how sorry I am or how much you mean to me. I-I need you as much as you need me. Please, just-” you moved away from him as he paused.
“I need you to leave me alone. I don’t need you in my life,” you saw his tears falling from his eyes as your heart began to ache more and more.
“I have to get home, I’m running late,” you sniffled, before you wiped your eyes.
“Goodbye, Isaac,” you walked away from him as he stood frozen, holding back his cries.
Your heart felt like it could leap out of your chest as you ran down the street, holding in your cries.
You knew you needed him, but you couldn't go through that pain, not again.

Man, idek what is up with me, I just have so many kylux and SW thoughts atm and you're always the person I think of when I want to share them!!! Part 1/2(?)
I think Ben/Kylo's struggle between the dark and the light could have been played up much better/differently than what the ST gave us... I mean, it was stated multiple times since TFA that part of Ben's problem growing up, that this "darkness" inside him wasn't actually something truly from within himself, but instead the trace of a malevolent outside presence trying to get inside of Ben. That he'd have nightmares, hear voices, see hallucinations.
It's why he gets sent to live and train his uncle, Luke. The optimistic and supportive mentor to help guide and protect Ben as he grows up. Teaching him the ways of the Force so that he could gain the skills necessary to combat this vile presence that won't seem to let Ben go.
But the years pass and Ben has still found no piece from the nightmares, the voices, the illusions. So many times over the years, he's had to resist the incessant, "Come with me and it'll stop." "Follow me and I'll stop." "I just want to help you." Whoever was talking to him, whoever wanted him, was still stronger than the skills of an almost prodigy Padawan.
There would be some days where he'd slip a little, and he'd talk back to the voices aloud, startling his peers. Or when the nightmares and hallucinations got a little too real and he started having sleepwalking episodes that almost had horrible accidents. All the while, Luke pressed Ben on to have faith. That as long as Ben kept persevering and resisting the call, he would be okay.
But by his 25th year, Ben is tired of resisting. Tired of persevering. He is isolated among his peers, them unknowing of the stress he's endured for decades and viewing him as the old Padawan who's powerful and talented but too weird and unrefined to graduate. He's got his rivals, the pitying onlookers, and the precious little Atoula who's too little to understand. Ben desperately wants to be free of this, the exhaustion, the voices, they nightmares.
Part 2/3
One night it all finally comes to head. He's woken from another nightmare, likely the most intense one he's had to date, visceral in it's grit and sound, almost like the creatures speaking to him were right in the temple with him.
And then he hears a sound. At first he wrote if off as someone awake when they shouldn't have been, but he can't shake his unsettled feeling. He takes off, his saber in hand just in case. His uncle's Jedi School was still under wraps thanks to Emperor Palpatine's history revisions still holding root among the New Republic's commonwealth. There's a bounty of 500,000 credits for anyone who catches a live "Jedi." While they tried to keep the temple a secret, there is the occasional "surprise visit."
Who he finds in the main hall is a woman that had come earlier in the day to do an interview with his uncle, to do a soft hit piece about Jedi history in an attempt to redeem them in the eyes of the public. Ben didn't meet her in person before, but he had thought that she had already been turned away earlier that day.
And then she speaks to him. And he recognizes her voice.
"Come with me and I'll stop."
So they finally decided to come for him physically. Well fine, bring it on. It seemed she hadn't come alone. as dark shadows poured into the hall. The thought to surround and overpower him? That's their mistake.
Part 3/3 Please!! I think I'm finally done!!
He makes easy work of them. All of them, throwing caution and teaching to the wind and letting all his frustration and anger out onto them. The creatures of his nightmares and hallucinations, his decade-long tormentors. They'd receive no mercy from him.
He sees some flee to the upper corridors of the temple, the dorms!! If they intend to make hostages of his peers, they really must be desperate. He follows them, catching them as they reach each of his fellow Padawans' rooms, cutting them down before they can make a move to the beds. He sees young Atoula step out of her room, sleepy and confused, even more when she hears Ben's desperate cry, "Stay inside! Lock the door!"
He chases the last of his would-be takers back the main hall, cutting the last one down by Force pulling him back onto his ignited saber. He smiles down at his work, finally free of his demons, his nightmares, his voices.
"Ben! Ben, why!!"
Ben turns to see his uncle, wet from the rain as he must have returned from his night errand. His face ridden with horror. A horror that Ben could understand. Why? Why what? All he'd done was defend the temple, finally cut down the creatures that had haunted him his entire life, freed himself----and he looks down to see the hollowed and horrified look of Jaquil, one of Padawans closest in age to him, dead underneath the light of Ben's saber, the hole in his chest still simmering with heat and embers. He turns this way and that, and it's all the same. The Padawans, his peers, strewn about the hall, massacred, viciously, horrendously.
'B, but... the woman!' He wanted to get out, but there was no woman. Not anymore. She was long out of sight. It was only him, alone amongst the carnage. A carnage by his own hand. Of his own design.
He hadn't freed himself at all. He walked into the trap. Locked himself in the cage. Sealed his own fate.Ben sees one last creature behind his uncle, and in panic he steps forward, words lost to him. His uncle goes on the offensive (defensive), bests him, due to Ben's panic--disarms him, literally. Clutching at the wound, Ben looks up in horror as his uncle ready's to end him.
Ben brings the ceiling down on them. And pulling himself from the rubble, he flees.
Oh my god. I am so emotional. My jaw dropped and I had to put my phone to one side once I realised what Ben had done. It's dark and eerie and manipulative!
Poor Ben. His nightmares and his demons really determined his path for him. I love how his apparition was a woman too!

Why don't you like Imran Khan if you don't mind me asking?
His treatment of minorities such as the ongoing violence against shia muslims. I know he says that he opposes sectarian violence but he doesn't do anything meaningful to stop it. Here is an article on this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/21/pakistani-shias-live-in-terror-as-sectarian-violence-increases
Also like... My family in Pakistan live in poverty, they are only surviving because my family here send them money every month. The whole pind is extremely poor and every month my mum says to me something like "I've heard your uncle's neighbour can't survive on his pension he can't afford his groceries and has only been eating 1 meal a day, can you send him some money" you know. EVERY MONTH i hear a story like this. And I just think what is Imran Khan doing to make people's life better?? It's only getting worse. Electricity is rationed (it didn't used to be when I would visit as a kid), people used to struggle to buy meat but now they can't afford to buy even bread and vegetables. "Imran Khan wants t introduce a welfare state" ok but why are my little cousins struggling to eat then!
And it's like sooo frustrating speaking to people about this, people literally worship him and won't hhear a bad word said about him and I'm just like! How is your life ANY better since he came to power name me oneeeee thing and they're like "oh but that's not his fault" 🙄
That said. He is anti-US and his foriegn policy toward India/Kashmir has been good (imo the reason Pak and India managed to avoid nuclear conflict is almost all down to him, idek what would have happened if anyone else had been Pakistan's PM).
As much as I don't like him I think he is much much better than anyone who had come before him or whatever US puppet/sunni extremist they will replace him with so basically this is fucked

Into Wonderland Chapter Two: Savanaclaw Part Two
They wake up in a jungle, sputtering and coughing water.
"Are you okay?" A soft voice asks them, shaking their shoulder lightly as they cough out more water. The boy pats their back soothingly as they catch their breath, leaping to their feet and searching the area.
"Ruggie?! Jack?!" They panic, no sign of their friends.
"Wait..." The boy asks, slowly approaching them. "Jack? Ruggie? Are you..." The teenage boy's expression lightens and he pulls them in for a hug. The human, shocked, awkwardly pats the boy's back.
They pull away, scanning the boy's features- Messy, orange and yellow hair, wide brown eyes, large lion ears poking out of the top of his head.
"Cheka?!" They yell. The boy winces. There was no doubt about it- aside from now being taller than the human and a lot sharper- the teenager was still the same little boy who ran away all those years ago. "We were looking everywhere for you!"
"...Really?" The boy goes quiet and slouches down, tears welling in his eyes. "'m sorry..."
"No no no!" The human reassures, now bring the one to pat the boy on the back. "It's okay! You went through a lot... I'm sure Leona will be happy to see you back!"
"Really?!" The boy's ears perk up, and the human can hear his tail thudding against the dirt. "I'm just so worried that-"
"Who in the fresh fuck are you?" A voice yelps from the bushes behind them. Mc turns, eyes widening when they see a familiar pair of ruby red eyes, a pair of bright green ones next to them. They still have their rabbit ears, despite being messy and larger than before.
"Ace! Deuce!" They exclaim, standing from their spot.
"...How do you know our names?" Deuce asks, looking at the human curiously.
"I-" Mc stammers. "You don't remember? From Wonderland? The queen of hearts almost killed us!"
"Oh!" Cheka stands between the human and the confused hares. "They're not from the Savanna!"He turns to Mc. "You're probably confusing them- it's a funny coincidence though!"
"...yeah..." The human murmurs. "Anyways- we need you back home! Everyone is really upset at Leona right now and-"
"Why?" Cheka asks.
"Because he can't get laid!" Mc exclaims, frustratedly throwing their hands in the air. "And there's no heir to the throne and-"
"Wait- throne?" Deuce gasps. "Are you seriously a prince?!" He exclaims, backing away from Cheka.
"Was!" Chela sighs. "I don't belong there any more..."
"Yes you do!" Mc stomps. "Listen, everyone back at home was upset that you went missing- Leona most of all, even if he doesn't show it-" They mutter that last part. "Either way, the stability of the pride is in danger, and so is Leona and Ruggie!"
"What do you mean?" Cheka's ears perk up. Mc explains Leona's plan to pass on his power to whoever he sees fit- and being closest to beastmen who aren't lions, how people see them, especially Ruggie, as he's the closest, as threats to their pride. They explain how if Cheka went back, he could avoid all of that and save them from anyone who could try to overthrow Leona, or worse- kill him and take the power for themselves.
Cheka goes silent for a moment, staring into the lake that sits in the middle of the jungle.
"Nobody's upset at you Cheka," The whisper softly. "None of what happened was your fault. It was just bad timing-"
"But how can I look at them the same? I ran away- even Jack would call me a coward if he saw me again. Everyone knows it-"
"Okay listen kid-" Ace steps forward, planting a hand on the boy's shoulder. "First of all, you were four. Second, you managed to survive all the way out here until you found us!"
Deuce steps forward too, ears twitching. "Yeah! And even though we'll be sad to see you go, you can still help everyone!"
"You two can come with us!" Mc suggests. They stare at them in shock.
"We're hares-" Deuce starts.
"And he's too stupid to be around others without being considered a threat-" Ace points his thumb at the navy haired boy, who jumps.
"No! Thats not it at all!"
"So? There are tons of other animals back in the pride lands. Were you not listening? We literally have a hyena in one of the highest positions! And a wolf from the North!"
"Okay, okay- we get it," Ace sighs, standing and stretching. "Let's go there, put the kid on the throne, save everyone's asses, and live happily ever after!"
"I feel like you're being sarcastic-" Mc deadpans.
"Eh, not as much as you think I am."
"Lets go!" Cheka, with a newfound burst of energy, cheers. Everyone then goes on the journey back to the pridelands, only getting lost a little bit along the way. Cheka tells Mc of all the times he'd shared with Ace and Deuce, between them finding him half dead outside of the jungle, to how he'd eaten bugs the whole time he'd been living there, to joking with Ace and Deuce about dumb stuff they'd done while raising him.
Mc smiles, watching the trio get along. Finally, they spot pride rock in the distance. Cheka slows a bit but, with a little bit of persuading from the three around him, he runs up towards the rock.
"Jack!" The boy yells, launching himself at the wolf man.
"Wow, you really weren't joking-" Ace whispers to Mc.
"Cheka?! How did you..." He looks to the side, grinning widely when he sees Mc and he rushes over to them. "Are you okay? I'm sorry, I should have noticed the flood earlier and-"
Mc quiets him with a pat to the head, something he let them do only after years of being friends. "It's okay big guy. Besides, I found Cheka!"
"Ruggie! Leona!" They yell, leading the group up the side of the rock.
"Mc?!" Ruggie yelps, dropping the basket he was holding and running at them. He holds their face, forcibly moving their head from side to side, searching for injuries, as they groan.
"I'm fine! I'm fine!" The swat him away. "You're like a mom..."
"I would be less worried if you weren't just taken away by a flood!" He groans, looking over to the side to see the two hares and Cheka.
"Hi Ruggie!" Cheka chirps.
"How in the-"
"Ruggie? What's taking so lo-" Leona steps out from the cave, followed by a group of other lions that lived nearby. His jaw drops as he strides over to the teenage boy, pulling at his ears as the boy laughs, wrapping his arms around the man's torso.
"Uncle Leona! I'm home! I'm home!" He cheers. Leona chuckles, bringing a calloused hand to pat the boy's head.
"Welcome home, kid-"
"What is this?" One of the lionesses steps forward. "I thought you said he was dead-"
"I'm not dead! I'm home now!" The boy laughs.
"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?" Another man steps forward. Anxiety pools in the human's gut as Ruggie pulls them behind him, with Jack moving to stand closer to Leona.
"I never said he died!" Leona defends himself. "He went missing the day of the stampede. We all saw it. We told you he was missing, not dead."
"You're telling me we could have had an actual king this entire time!" One of the other women snarls.
"An actual-"
"We could have had someone with Farena's disposition, then everything would have been normal! We needed someone like him-" She motions towards Cheka. "The most. Not someone who makes a hyena do his bidding." She spits out the word hyena, and Ruggie shrinks down a bit, ears flattening against his head.
"Just listen to what-" Leona starts.
"We did not have to suffer- the food shortages, the humiliation! None of it had to happen if we had just gone out and found our true king!"
"Hey!" Cheka yells, only to be drowned out by the angry lions.
"I can't believe this!" The lioness charges at Leona, roaring. Mc sprints past Ruggie, who yelps and tries to grab onto their tunic. They push Leona out of the way, the man tripping off to the side. The lioness rams into Mc, sending them sliding until they slip off the edge of pride rock.
They fall downwards, screaming as Ruggie, Leona, and Jack scramble to the edge and try to grab a hold of them.
The last thing they see is Ruggie, Jack, and Leona's panicked expressions as they plummet to the ground, all three beastmen reaching their claws out at the falling human.
I feel like I've seen this before- They think, closing their eyes and preparing to slam against the ground.
They finally land, sand exploding in every direction around them.
I DID NOT EXPECT TO WRITE THIS MUCH FOR THIS ONE I'M SORRY
I also genuinely don't know how ti spell Savanna/ Savanah bc I knew a girl named Savanah and google tells me that its Savanna so idek whats happening at this point
I'm just now realizing that i forgot to add the monkey in the lion king i hate it here

A Bond Between Villains
A Bond Between People and Villains 2019 crossover (thanks @walkxthexmoon)
Tumblr media
- you should’ve left while you still could
begins after the end of ABBP so be warned of spoilers immediately after the cut
so Adrian survives with the guilt of having dismembered a man - ptsd is a bitch
Victoria has the baby and it turns out to be a girl, Patricia, but Victoria died in childbirth, poor love
Adrian stays on the straight and narrow bcs he’s not gonna endanger his little girl with all that shit but it’s hard to keep a regular job while being a single father and ex-con so sometimes his neighbours look after her while he works and in return, he cooks and cleans for them
They like the kid but he’s an ex-con so they still don’t trust him
Meanwhile, George and Gloria are on holiday in Denmark in 2012 - it’s said to be a lovely place yk
ik the movies both came out in 2019 but let’s pretend Patricia was born in 2009 for sake of ages and shit
George and Gloria heard about a beautiful little girl who no one would miss - after all, living with a married couple in America has to be like heaven compared to living in a lil apartment with just her father
See The Monk knew some shit had to have gone wrong with the old man bcs he disappeared out of nowhere and so spread the word about a kid being on the market bcs child trafficking is fucked up and so is he so thank the Lord this is fiction
George and Gloria go and take Patricia from the neighbours, calling themselves Adrian’s uncle and aunt and saying that they were there to grab her - the shitty neighbours honestly felt better giving the three year old to a pair of strangers than her own father
Adrian sees them with her and chases them for as long as he can but he’s running and they’re in a car
He gets home and writes down their licence plate and car type bcs I hc that he’s got a good memory
Then he sketches their portraits so he can remember what the fuckers looked like bcs another hc, he loved drawing and it kept him going through prison bcs idek how long he was there but it still sucked ass
He takes a plane to South Carolina bcs SoCar plates
He finds them after two years (2014) and pulls a gun on them bcs he lost 2 years with his baby girl bcs of those fucks but he’s one guy in the middle of a country he barely knows so he’s kinda screwed
He ends up begging to stay with them - he’ll cook, clean, do whatever but he just needs to be his baby girl
So they let him and he is also usually chained up in basement but he’s got nicer clothes bcs he has to actually go upstairs (plus his chain is longer; Gloria made George make it long enough so that he could reach Patricia when she has nightmares bcs they don’t wanna hear her cry, it’s annoying apparently)
He’s not allowed to be in the main part of the house when George and Gloria aren’t there to supervise bcs he could try to escape and if he escapes, they kill Patricia so he knows not to try that
It’s been 5 years since Adrian’s been stuck there but he gets to be with his daughter so he can’t complain too much bcs at least she’s alive
Then along came Mickey and Jules and he hears two sets of footsteps but it’s not familiar and then they can hear crashing so it’s definitely not George and Gloria
He tells Patricia to keep quiet bcs if George finds them with the intruders, they’re dead
M+J find A+P and try to help them escape only for Adrian to say “it’s no use - leave while you still can, please” bcs it’s not like he hadn’t tried to undo the chains but to no avail
He tried to tell them about the keys being in George’s room (bcs in this ver there’s no way he’d keep the keys any place A can get to them)
M+J are kept separately and Adrian knows the shite Mickey’s going through unfortunately (i’m sorry for giving you more ptsd, buddy)
Adrian is kept in the basement while M+J are there bcs no way is he going to be allowed anywhere near the key
Adrian explains the situation to Jules quietly and swap trauma stories
He can’t help Jules but he fixes the bandage on Mickey’s leg and says he’s sorry for Gloria, he knows how that is
After Patricia tells them about the laundry shoot, he tells her that it ends up in Ethan’s room and Ethan’s a creepy doll not a child so get out asap and call for help
She escapes and meanwhile M+A are tortured slightly to tell George what’s going on (Adrian: luk dine øjne, kæreste (close your eyes, sweetheart)) and Mickey escapes
Meanwhile Jules ran up the road and kept running
Meanwhile Adrian can hear G+G talk about killing them bcs if they escape and snitch everyone’s screwed
So they make Adrian OD a little (‘no one’ll question a foreign ex-con ODing’) except Officer Wells came over so he ends up in the gym alone
He finds their coke and he feels sick bcs he remembers the old man but then remembers his daughter and knows he has to do something so he takes the shit and pretends to escape by doing the shoe-toss-and-hide thing
Jules called the cops and Officer Wells knew something was sketchy so they go on their way to the house with more than a couple of officers considering it’s a multiple hostage situation
He grabbed the keys while G+G were in the woods and frees Patricia and they grab the car and go bcs he already knew where the garage door clicker was and they gun it, pun intended, and get shot at but he just gets nicked on the shoulder
They meet up with M+J and G+G get arrested after the cops see the state of A+P plus when they find the recording of the other couples they killed
M+J go to prison for 3 months and get it reduced to 2 for good behaviour
A+P write them letters almost everyday (but they don’t send them all) and somewhere along the line, they realise they’d fallen in love bcs you don’t go through what they did together and not form some kind of bond
A+P are waiting for them when they get out and they go to Florida together and there it is born, Lykke Seashells (lykke meaning good fortune and happiness, that which they had found in each other’s company)

I SAW HOMECOMING
THERE’S SO MANY THINGS I LOVED I HAD TO DO WHAT I DID AFTER HTTYD 3 AND MAKE A BIG LIST OKAY LETS GO 
(in no particular order) 
- Nuffink sitting all attentive and listening to his Dad talk about leaving food out for Toothless 
- ‘we all like trout!’ 
- NUFFINK’S VOICE IS THE MOST ADORABLE THING I EVER DID HEAR, but also I swear he had a somewhat scottish accent? Idek. It said in the credits that he’s voiced by Liam Ferguson and I tried to look him up but found nothing. Whether Nuffy was putting it on and being all cooky and cute (because he sounded american in some parts to me too idk why) I honestly couldn’t tell but it’s kind coincidental how i literally made this post last week:
Tumblr media
...and I guess I was a little onto something? spooky
- Zephyr is absolutely her fathers daughter - making traps? inventions? Looking at random books she found in the attic? We love to see it 
- THE TOOTHLESS TAPESTRY IN THE HADDOCK’S HOME 
- “three if you don’t count Black Plague Friday” “Yeah, nothing gets done, everyone’s just shopping and coughing” EYE-
- “and then it hit me” *gets knocked out by his kids* A+ gag 
- The nightlights drawing Hiccup with wings because they’re like ‘nononono. here dad let us fix it’ that made me go aw
- Astrid having to take a step back because her husband’s flailing arms are literally going to knock her out if she doesn’t. 
- The nightlights being chaotic. again. we love to see it 
- Gobber thinking Hiccup has a fake nightfury head just for personal reasons and not for the pageant 
- “Zephyr designed the whole trap herself!” SHE SOUNDED SO PLEASED. PEAK MAMSTRID 
- Also “What did I say about using the good nets? Kids!” and just going off after them whilst leaving Hiccup hanging from a trap. Domestic parent hiccstrid is on POINT
- Toothless and the Lightfury having a melt down when their kids went missing, also Toothless going OFFIT when he finally finds them and threethless and fourthless putting all the blame on poor fivethless lmao
- “I do not run like that!... Do I run like that?”
- idk why but just the way he fucking smacked his lips and was like “um I read the script Gobber and i have some notes-” idk idk it’s just funny 
- “da da da! we’re doomed” I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE 
- NIGHTLIGHT NOISES
- one word. “HONEY” 
- “I touched one! I touched a dragon - that’s hardcore!” along with “I would say I was a lot more heroic” yeah yeah hiccup we know you were a cool kid. absolute badass 
- THE PART THAT LITERALLY MADE ME CRY - ZEPHYR GOING BACKSTAGE TO FIND HER DAD AND JUST HAVING A MOMENT WITH TOOTHLESS. HER REFLECTION IN HIS EYES!!!!!!!! I’M TEARING UP JUST TYPING IT WAS THE BEST PART OF THE ENTIRE THING ISTG. 
- Hiccstrid walking with their arms intwined as their kids play and run ahead of them before having a sweet hug. made my heart do a flip :’) 
- The haddock’s inviting Gobber back because he’s a member of their family :’) would’ve been great if y’know..... Hiccup’s mother was there... grandmother to his children and all..... maybe even his good pal Eret..... I’m not bitter I swear
- *zephyr holds nuffink and gobber back so her trap can go off and they don’t get caught* “Okay you’re good” and Hiccup going “So proud :)” !!!!!!!!!! ME TOO I LOVE THIS CHILD 
- “maybe it’s our turn to visit them!” 
- The end credits being to the ending scene from httyd 3. literally the best way they could’ve ended it 
That’s all I can think of at the momennt but all in all I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. If I had to rank it I’d say (imo) it’s either on par or just a teenie tiny bit below gotnf would’ve been easily above if there was some nana valka and uncle eret but whatever, 10x better than dotdr. I loved it :’)

I'm not sure if you got my request because i didn't had internet when i sent it, so i'll write it again xd Do you think Dick (and the batboys in general) are famouse like Bruce? Because in the comics there's not any clue about it, i've never seen anyone say something like "oh look! Its Dick Grayson!, y'know, Wayne's first ward/son And its a shame, because reporters would make such a hard life to all of them, it would maka a good narrative tool
Honestly, this is a prime example of that inconsistency I rant about, and also DC’s refusal to just COMMIT on even the most basic aspects of their universe like….uh…how many kids does Batman have. 
afhsahfklahsklfhal
Like, you would think that would meet the MINIMUM requirements of “shit you should probably have figured out and make sure everybody’s on the same page with” but DC’s like….nah, that’s not important.
So I mean…..I’m reasonably certain - like this is just my personal belief, but I’d put money on it being right, lol - but I think the primary reason there’s so little mention in the comics of how Bruce’s kids are viewed in the public eye/how much the public are aware of them (in the New 52, at least, as pre-Flashpoint there was a lot more plot around that kind of thing, especially back in the 80s and 90s)……
…is because 90% of the writers and editors have no clue either, and nobody wants to be the one to ask, and like, open that can of worms. I 100% think you could ask five different writers at DC which kids Bruce has OFFICIALLY adopted in this current continuity, and get five different answers, lol.
There’s been so much handwaving about Dick’s status ever since Spyral, and again - I think its because nobody bothered to think through the logistics of the Hypnos/global-mindwipe machine BEFORE writing it into the story, and then once it did occur to any of them to like….wonder just how specifically it worked, they were like, fuck it, better just be as vague as possible. So, according to Grayson, everyone Helena didn’t program into the exclusion list before the satellite was activated should have no recollection of Dick Grayson, which is why he was able to ‘go back to his old life’ and be Nightwing again, without worrying about his secret identity having been unmasked…..
But what does that mean for his official identity as adopted son or even just ward of billionaire Bruce Wayne? People can’t have NO memory of Dick Grayson and still remember that Bruce Wayne took in a kid named Dick Grayson. I mean, as far as I can tell, the overall consensus in the comics seems to be that after the satellite was activated, Dick just kinda started from scratch as ‘Dick Grayson’ like, he was free to be himself again, but it was like he was a blank slate/came out of nowhere as far as everyone else was concerned. But again, that means as far as anyone outside of their close circle of family and friends know….Dick Grayson is a non-entity to Bruce Wayne and the two have no history. 
Which I mean, is fairly shitty and you’d think if nothing else, there’d be massive story potential there for delving into Dick’s character and his relationship with Bruce and examining how he felt about ‘having his old life/identity back’….except with the caveat that as far as the world is concerned, his life and identity don’t and have never included his father.
Cut to DC: Naaaaaaaah.
But even WITH that, plot holes persist, and abound, because…..why didn’t the satellite erase the Court of Owls’ knowledge/memory of Dick? Even before Luthor gave Cobb those goggles and files to help him with bringing Ric into the fold, Cobb clearly was already stalking Ric and knew exactly who he was….the Court obviously already had that doctor in place while he was still in recovery…so, whoops. I mean, you could probably come up with an explanation about the Court, via their own tech and resources, having had some protections in place 24/7 that kept the satellite from affecting them even though they weren’t on guard for it specifically…..but again, Occam’s Razor….I feel like the real answer is DC just didn’t care enough to think things that far through. Especially since the average Bludhaven citizen, like Bea, at least didn’t seem totally blown away when Ric revealed to her that amnesia aside, he was supposedly some rich billionaire’s adopted kid….which again suggests that as far as the writers were thinking, people in general are familiar with the idea that Bruce Wayne has more than one kid.
Then you’ve got Jason’s whole situation, and to be honest….I really only have the vaguest idea what’s going on there, because reading Lobdell books is against my religion, and I am a devout and deeply spiritual person, as you all probably can tell. I mean, I know that there’s something going on where like, Jason had himself legally resurrected in the public eye and is openly referring to himself as Bruce Wayne’s formerly-assumed dead foster kid……but like, is that the official official word, or would other writers if you asked them say they’d been operating under the assumption Bruce had adopted Jason too at some point in the Rebirth timeline, or….idek, man.
I…..honestly don’t have the faintest fucking clue what to make of the many back-and-forth retcons about Tim and his parents and his official place in the Batfam/relationship with Bruce, and am actually slightly terrified of even trying to make sense of that clusterfuck of a Gordian knot, so my official stance on Tim is to just like….back sloooooowly away from the anthropomorphic-migraine-masquerading-as-a-backstory, without like….agitating it and accidentally setting off another multiverse Crisis birthed wholly from just that one all-consuming black hole of a retcon.
I mean, there’s a reason I basically just shoehorn all the kids’ official pre-Flashpoint family statuses into anything I write in Rebirth continuity, and that’s not just stubbornness and my refusal to play the “now this kid is adopted…now he’s not…now he is again….except he’s not….oh he’s adopted again…..oh wait now he’s not again" game. 
Its like. Also for the sake of my sanity and stuff.
(And also hahahahaha fuck you DC times infinity, every time you use the words “blood son,” or “real family” in a comic, or have one of Bruce’s other kids refer to Bruce as “your father” when talking to Damian, as if that’s not an utterly bizarre and roundabout way for any sibling to refer to their mutual parent and thus I j’ete REFUSE to acknowledge it as valid….ahem, anyway, my point is, every time they do that in a comic, I double down and headcanon Bruce throwing a random as fuck gala for literally no other purpose than to remind all of Gotham that he has half a dozen kids and they’re all better than everyone else’s. Ugh. Kill it. Kill the “blood son” nonsense with fire and lightning and also lots of stabbing maybe).
Anyway, that’s my official stance on DC’s stance on Damian in the books.
Then as far as Cass goes….ugh, her origins were pretty much utterly butchered by the New 52, which IMO has also failed to give us Cass and Bruce bonding and dynamics sufficient to Sate Mine Ire™, sooooooo…..I mean, my perception of the current canon is that Cassandra’s official status is “secret mystery foster child that nobody really knows about,” but because I do not care for that and there’s the whole not sufficiently sated ire thing I mentioned, I officially reject this canon and willfully replace it with pre-Flashpoint Bruce and Cass love and adoption. DC’s welcome to kiss my critically acclaimed hiney if I’m doing it wrong.
Which brings us last, but certainly not least, as its only this way because I go sequentially and Duke is still Shiny and New comparative to the others and will be until the next inevitable fostering/adoption/clone hi-jinks bumps him up the sequential ladder (except I randomly switched Damian and Cass around this time because LOOK I DONT MAKE THE RULES, THERE ARE NO RULES i hvea Adhd hiccup sob leavem e aloooone soooooob)…..
Duke’s official status, much like the rest of the Batkids, can be summed up as Honestly, I Really Don’t Have A Fucking Clue And Am Just Winging This Whole Thing.
I mean, there’s less inconsistency with him, due mostly to the fact that so few writers other than Snyder use him (boo, hiss, and not just because I hate having to give Snyder credit for stuff - look, I love his Duke, but I loathe how he writes Dami, its a thing, I just…don’t get me started). But what inconsistencies there are….well….they’re a bit glaring.
Basically one major storyline showed Duke as being an official foster kid/ward of Bruce’s and living out of the Manor with Bruce and Damian and occasionally Tim when he’s not off road-tripping around the multiverse….and then Batman and the Signal had Duke in the care of his uncle, who was stated to be his legal guardian and Duke was constantly sneaking out in order to meet Bruce in the special Signal-cave he built specifically for Duke to operate out of so he didn’t have to like, drive all the way out to the Manor to change just so he could then drive back into the city and patrol. And then Batman and the Outsiders just said fuck all that, here’s Duke and Cass hopping hemispheres with the Outsiders every other issue, so apparently nobody’s making unscheduled visits anywhere back in Gotham to make sure these two are where they’re legally assumed to be, which again, for the record is…..*error, source not found*
LOLOL and the really fun thing about this little back and forth is I’m pretty sure allllll these conflicting takes are all the work of the same writer. Like. GET ON YOUR OWN PAGE, DUDE.
Also, again I have to assume the “Can’t Be Bothered To Give A Shit, Or Maybe They’re All Just Really Bad At Logic” curse has struck again, because….uhhhh…..
….at no point anywhere in Duke’s stories have I seen Bruce or literally anyone else express concern about the fact that Duke living with Bruce as his official foster, like he definitely and clearly was at some point at least…..means that literally every single one of his We Are Robin friends who knows that he was taken in by the Batfam (and there’s several of them who know this)….like, by the transcendent properties of You Can’t Honestly Think They’re That Dumb, that’s a good five or six civilians out there who probably took all of five seconds to play connect the dots and figure out the Wayne family, having officially taken Duke in on paper…..is pretty likely the Batfamily.
I mean, I like all of Duke’s friends and would definitely headcanon/write them as all being trustworthy and able to keep this knowledge to themselves for Duke’s sake, if nothing else, but I mean, its pretty unprecedented for Bruce to out himself and all of his kids/allies by extension, to like, that many civilian teenagers all in one swoop….
…sooooooo, you’d think, AGAIN, logically, maybe, perhaps, this is the kind of thing that should be brought up in a narrative somewhere as a plot point worth delving into, y’know, just for shits and giggles and maybe a little bit of that whatchamacallit - oh right, character development, but.
Cut to DC: Naaaaaaah.
 *throws up hands and does the I Can’t Even Shuffle all the way home*
In conclusion:
DC is a mess. The official/public status of each and every Batkid is a mess. Except for Damian, the blood son, but we have that pencilled in on the schedule to be killed with fire and also stabbing, so he can get filed under ‘just a fucking mess’ with the rest of his siblings. Hashtag Solidarity.
I mean, I say just write or headcanon their official status however you damn well please, and it’ll STILL be more effort than I believe DC has put into organizing and staying consistent with all of this, and thus STILL make more sense than what we currently have to work with.
*Shrugs* If they don’t care enough to provide a clear canon blueprint to follow when mapping the Bat Family Tree, I can’t be bothered to care if the one I make up myself happens to contradict one single mention of one kid’s official status as claimed by one issue of one book.
Especially if it was written by Lobdell.
Jason’s just a foster son my ass. grumble mumble bitter vengeful swears and a pox on all DC’s houses. WHY DO YOU PEOPLE HATE ADOPTION SO MUCH, INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW AND ALSO FUCK YOU.

Eleven Minutes.. [Peter Parker]
Tumblr media
Pairing: Peter Parker x Female!Reader
Warnings: My angst has bust in full force thanks- flashbacks in italics in case thats confusing
A/N: I’m alive??? Works killer n i miss this crai- also, doing page breaks a diff way bc tumblr mobile refuses to show page breaks smh. No, I have not seen Endgame or any leaked footage so this contains no spoilers, (I did see it, since this was edited and made before and after Endgame, however, this will atill contain no spoilers and will continue in how I thought it would end <3) just vague mentions of IW and what an aftermath might be like idek
Tumblr media
❝I’ᴍ ᴇʟᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴍɪɴᴜᴛᴇs ᴀᴡᴀʏ, ᴀɴᴅ I ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴍɪssᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʟʟ ᴅᴀʏ..❞
You assumed you shouldn’t be doing this, what with your state of emotions but.. if you didn’t, you weren’t sure if these emotions would ever settle. You had to have closure, even if the outcome wasn’t what you expected or wanted. Hell, you were barely sure what you even wanted out of this. What was the point? What was there to even gain anymore? Why were you lying to yourself when you knew you still wanted this?
There was so much you’d put up with on your end- and sure, maybe you had no right to complain. You knew what you were getting into those few years ago. You knew who he was and how he was, but still. You hoped you’d get him to see reason. You knew you would-
A teenager shouldn’t have to go through all that. Not even an adult should, but of course, perhaps an adult could better process it. An adult wouldn’t struggle so hard, and that’s only because their brains aren’t still working to fully develop themselves and the body they inhabit. Struggling with something so hard so young.. it does things to you and those around you. It does things to your relationships.
Funnily enough, the same could be said of a teen simply having a romantic relationship at all. Yet, the latter doesn’t have you bearing the weight of the world upon your still growing shoulders.
You struggled to hold that weight with him. Nights filled with the metallic scent and taste of blood were the norm. Those nights always felt panicky or hurt- those nights always caused arguments and overpowering feelings of helplessness. You weren’t built to be a damsel in distress, but you knew your limits. He surpassed them, but even he had his own, and as much as you wished they were endless, they weren’t. That night when he didn’t come home- that day when all the world saw was ash.. that was almost the final straw. How crazy is it that it wasn’t?
That months of mourning and horrific questions and theories, wasn’t entirely the cause of this? Months of staring out your window and just hoping he was lost and not.. gone. So much time spent feeling like you could have prevented it somehow- and feeling like you didn’t savor enough of the good moments. The hand holding, the sweet kisses and sweet murmurs of affection under stars- none of it felt like enough. Not enough to sate you or make you feel like yourself..
❝I’ᴍ sᴏ ғᴜᴄᴋɪɴ sᴏʀʀʏ, I’ᴍ sᴏ ғᴜᴄᴋɪɴ sᴏʀʀʏ..❞
Tumblr media
Seeing his face again was almost like having whiplash- only ten times worse.
You’d only dreamt of seeing him again, of getting to touch him and feel his hands holding you close. Only in your dreams did you get to feel like.. he had never left. You wanted to punch him, but you also wanted to hug him. All you could settle for was breaking down. Your knees gave out from under you, and he caught your crumpling form, allowing you to thrash at him because he was sure he deserved it. You both knew he didn’t, but feelings never really align with logic. Feelings do as they pleased, especially when they decided to consume you.
You cried until you couldn’t- until your throat was scratchy and your body felt weak.
“I’m sorry..”, he tells you, and you just shake your head.
“I am too.”
He doesn’t know, and maybe he never will, but the sorry wasn’t for hitting him. It wasn’t for him having to see you like this. It was because he was one of many, that had to watch themselves go- only his was worse. You were sure his senses screamed at him, that his powers tried to alert him and or stop it all, but they failed. He had to feel himself wither away, and you could only imagine what that might feel like for a Junior in High School. For a growing young man.
“I broke my promise though. I want you to know I never meant to and you were all I could-”
“Please.”, you cut him off as quick as you could, “Please, I just.. you’re here now and I.. I don’t want to think of any of that..”
“Okay. I understand.”, he says, and he does. No one wants to be told they were the last thing to be thought of. True, it means well but.. no one wants to lose someone. They don’t want to think of their lats thoughts or last words. They just want them with them, alive and well. He did his best to give you that.
“Thank you.”
❝Yᴇᴀʜ, I’ᴠᴇ sᴇᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ɪɴ ᴍʏ ʜᴇᴀᴅ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ғᴜᴄᴋɪɴ’ ᴅᴀʏ sɪɴᴄᴇ I ʟᴇғᴛ. Yᴏᴜ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ғʟᴏᴏʀ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴀɴᴅs ʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴇᴀᴅ..❞
Tumblr media
Days were hard and nights were long. He wasn’t sure what he was thinking that night. He just knew he had to fix this, his gut was telling him he needed to fix this. You walked through hell with him, held his hand while the whole world was engulfed in flames and he had the utter audacity to let you go? To let you slip through his fingers when you were doing your best to stay? To help?
He was in the wrong and he was sure of it. He was wrong for expecting none of his life to affect you. For allowing himself to think that because you’re not experiencing anything he has firsthand, that you had no room to say anything. You’d watched him get beat down- get damn near killed on a few occasions. Fuck- you even lost him once. You went entire hours and days and weeks and months just.. without him. Not from a break up or vacation or something normal. For you, he was dead, and something like that is horrifically traumatic at best, even if he was here now. No amount of promises can fix that. There will always be that bit of fear stuck in you, and you had every right to keep it there.
You have every right to tell him what you told him- to ask what you’ve asked.
He had no right to say what he said, and he’ll regret it his whole life long.
How could he say he didn’t need you? Lie right to your heartbroken face and get mad that you asked him to just once stop? To live for himself- to come home unscathed?
The broken look in your eyes absolutely broke him.. the sad soft tone to your voice- and then the anger. The bottled up rage and hurt, the venom in your words had absolutely paralyzed him, and then, in the silence, in the aftermath, he saw what he had done. He felt it when he woke up alone, warm sun on his back, but no warm body next to him. Soon the very scent of you was gone, your perfume no longer lingered, your clothes weren’t mixed in with his laundry basket- nothing. There was no trace of you.
It was a type of lonely he’d hoped to never experience. May stopped asking for you and only looked at him with sadness when you were mentioned. He never told her a thing- he assumed she figured it out, or maybe you told her.. he wasn’t sure.
He just needed you back, at any cost.
❝Aɴᴅ I’ᴍ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴇᴘʀᴇssᴇᴅ, ᴀʟʟ I ᴡᴀɴᴛ ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ᴄʜᴇsᴛ..❞
Tumblr media
“Oh, so you don’t need me, huh?”, you say, your voice is soft but tight, and he knows what’s going to happen next. He knows you well enough- he’s only taken in every last bit of you he could since he was sixteen. Only ever loved you since he learned what that was- what it really was. He liked to think you and him were the anomaly- a tiny percentage of teens that did know what love was..
“No. I-”
“You don’t? So you didn’t need me patching you up all those times so May wouldn’t lose her shit? So she wouldn’t flip the fuck out at her only nephew- at her only boy, risking his life constantly? Didn’t need me when you were as good as dead to the fucking world and May was so lost? Not last night when you were screaming in pain and couldn’t go to Tony because even he would tell you to cut the shit and let someone else handle it?!”
“He wouldn’t-”
“He would! You’re not doing this for the same reasons anymore! It’s not for your Uncle or May or even me! It’s only for you! Just for you because you’re still scarred from what happened and refuse to be beaten by anyone! You don’t want to feel helpless but fuck- think about how everyone else feels! We-”
“You’re all alive aren’t you?! Well and okay and safe, aren’t you?! I am doing it-”
“NO!”, you scream, and he goes quiet. The anger in him seems to just fizzle out. You’ve never screamed at him that way- the fire in your voice- the look in your eyes. It was torture.
“No.”, you hiss, “No we’re not okay. May is far from okay and I’m right with her. You’re throwing yourself at danger- you’re getting careless. The biggest threat to us all is gone Peter. He’s not coming back. He’s not in any of the villains you’ve fought. He won’t be in any future ones. You can relax- but you won’t. This fear is eating at you. You’re scared and you won’t even admit it anymore.”
“I’m not scared. I’m fine and I really don’t need you on my case about this. You’re better off leaving if you think I’m gonna stop. Go move on like you did when you thought I was gone.” The last part was a low blow and he knew it. You couldn’t know when he was coming back or if he was. It wasn’t even moving on. It was just doing what you could to not be drowned every waking moment of every day. Even if it meant laughing like nothing went wrong- like there was no gaping hole in your chest.
Even if it was with what friends you had left, even if, in the moment, it looked like you’d never missed him. Yes, he realized he was wrong when you gasped how you did. When you cried instantly and threw yourself into him- but some evil and minuscule voice in his head said it was lie. Though, that itself, was a huge lie.
“I can’t believe you’d-”
“Believe it.”, he had said, and by God he wishes he hadn’t.
❝Sᴏ ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴍᴇ sᴛᴜᴘɪᴅ, ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴍᴇ sᴀᴅ, ʏᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇsᴛ I’ᴠᴇ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴅ. Yᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀsᴛ I’ᴠᴇ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴅ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴋᴇᴇᴘs ғᴜᴄᴋɪɴ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍʏ ʜᴇᴀᴅ..❞
Tumblr media
You never answer to unknown numbers. If they weren’t in your contacts and no one was set to call, they weren’t worth answering. Something in you had told you to answer the phone and for once- just once, you did. You almost hung up when your first few ‘Hello’s gained you no response. You didn’t know that sound of your voice sent him into shock for a moment or so. It had been so long since he heard it. He spoke so fast too, a nervous tick of his. Speedy and stuttery. It’s how he always had been, and you half-hated half-enjoyed the way it made your heart do flips in your chest. Butterflies rose up in you and you felt like a teen again.
It was insane how after all this time he still had you like that. How you knew his apologies were sincere and how you had missed him so so very much. he had missed you too- he was practically dying without.
“I’m like.. eleven minutes away from you by my webs I just- please. I want to see you- I want to talk this out. That was a low blow and I.. I was so wrong, about it all. I could use a break- I should have taken one- should have thought more of you and May when I was out doing what I was doing. I.. I don’t know about putting up the mask forever but.. I don’t need to fight everything. I sure as hell don’t need to fight you.. please.”, he had said.
“Okay but.. you’re only eleven minutes away from me if I keep driving like this for.. ha, eleven minutes. You’ll be farther if I just stop.”, you tease, just cause you could. You’d earned that much.
“... I’ll swing for a half hour- even longer just.. I miss you. I-.. god, please. I mean I understand but.. please..”
You sigh softly, unable to deny that you wanted this too, “I didn’t stay I’d stop driving. I’ll see you there.”
He lets out a breathy laugh of relief, “Great. I.. I’ll be there. Promise.”
“See you soon.”
❝Yᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴇʟᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴍɪɴᴜᴛᴇs ᴀᴡᴀʏ, sᴏ ᴡʜʏ ᴀʀᴇɴ’ᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴇʀᴇ?❞
Tumblr media
“Maybe I deserve this..”, Peter sighed into his mask, overlooking the city from where he was perched. He had Karen keeping an eye out for you or your car. You had said eleven minutes. Karen detected one traffic incident but it was a route you never took. It was shorter, but accidents were frequent there. He didn’t dare look into what might be involved in that traffic incident. Not just because he didn’t want to be tempted to go check it out- but also because he knew his luck. He knew yours. He didn’t want to panic, but with every passing second, he was losing it.
All the worst case scenarios were running through his head. Every bad possible thing- because of course it’d happen. Of course the day he finally decides to call you- to get some courage and-
“She’s here.”, Karen says, and relief courses over him. You’re here and once he lays eyes on you he feels as weak as always. You’re still as he remembers and he swears it’s like you haven’t changed. He can feel you so near and you’d only just gotten there. Memories flooded through him and his longing grew. He missed you- oh fuck, he missed you so much. It took everything in him to not web you to him- but he couldn’t risk that, not now and not here. He had to make it seem like he didn’t notice you. You knew the drill. Years of being with him, you knew the risks and when it was alright to take them, now wasn’t the time. You had to play it safe. Anyone could be watching.
You stood by the building and waited like you were waiting on someone to come out. He kept his head forward but his eyes stayed on you. He was damn glad no one could see his eyes with the mask on. Karen kept a look out, being sure nothing was nearby. He had to wait on her all-clear, simply because his own emotions and wants fogged his rationality and focus, especially when it came to you. You’d always clouded his thoughts, even when he was out as Spider-Man. How could you not? You were and still are his everything. He’d always love you, even if this meeting didn’t go as he hoped. There was no one out there like you, there never would be.
“God- I want to jump down to her- she’s even looking at me with that little grin-”
“No, Peter. I have not given the all-clear. I am still searching and you have poor judgement with her.”
“Ouch, Karen- even you’re mad at me? Still?”
“I-”
Gunshots went off suddenly, someone was screaming about a drive-by but it wasn’t warning enough. He was up high and you were down there. He jumped but he wasn’t fast enough. Super-speed wasn’t in his arsenal of powers. Nothing helpful in the moment was, but he still tried. The very second he saw the gunfire nearing you, he jumped. He leaped for his very life, reached with all his might but you slipped away, stray bullets shocking you into falling. You fell right onto the concrete. People in passing were screaming- some started crying out of fear, dropping to the ground like flies. For every shot, three people went down. It was chaos and as selfish as it was, he only cared about you in the moment. Spider-Man wasn’t there, Peter was. Peter only needed to see you- he had to hope you were fine-
He hoped you were only grazed- begged for you to be fine.
“Please..”
He didn’t look, he didn’t pause, he went straight for the nearest hospital once he reached your limp body. Swinging high and fast- in a way he knew you’d hate if you were conscious- or just awake enough to know. You had to just be out from shock- nothing else- His adrenaline was pumping through him like mad- like never before. Harder than when he felt himself dying- quicker than anything ever. His breaths were ragged and raspy- raw and painful. His chest was tight and he had to fight to see through his tearing eyes. His fear was eating him alive, shaking his core and straining his muscles.
The nearest hospital seemed so far away. It seemed like thousands of miles- like his webs weren’t fast enough- and the warmth seeping into his suit wasn’t helping a damn thing. It was like it was weighing him down with every passing moment. Every second you weren’t yet at that hospital, he was losing his mind. Panic was absolutely consuming him and yet he continued.
“Please- oh my go- please- for fucks sake- not her!”
He screamed for a doctor once he landed- lost his mind as he ran in. He can’t remember what he yelled or who he scared. he didn’t care if this could get you labeled as someone Spider-Man knew. He could fight that battle later. He had to survive this one first.He had to let them get you on a gurney- had to ignore the splotches of dark red on you- had to forget how limp you felt. he only focused on your breaths, shallow as they were, they were something.
He hated that he had to change out of his suit- it meant he had to leave- and being alone was no help. He had to peel his suit off and ignore the feeling in the pit of his stomach. Had to ignore the sickening warmth that stuck to him- sticky and noisy but he had to ignore it. Hopefully it was his blood and he couldn’t feel it. Maybe he had been grazed. The blood on his palms couldn’t be yours. He’d never be so unlucky- not like this not now or ever. It couldn’t be this way. He had to remember that as he ran back in- as he put on the facade that he’d heard from some friends or something and had to know your condition.
He had to play positive thoughts in his head like a mantra in his head as he waited on news. You couldn’t go- you promised. Years ago, you promised you’d be his girl forever. Even when you two fought- even when he was being a damned idiot. You’re his everything- you wouldn’t leave him. You swore- you even agreed to see him after the stupid shit he said.This couldn’t happen. He loved you, you loved him- how rare was that? A love worth fighting for, a love that went through hell and back? A love people wrote books and novels about- full on series that ended tragic for shock value. That couldn’t happen to him- he couldn’t be some cliche. You would be damned if you ever became some-
“Mr.Parker..”
His head shot up, “Yeah?”
The silence the followed was deafening. His heart thrummed in his ears as the nurse who called him beckoned him to follow. The very halls made his senses go off- there were people just hanging on the brink- there were people morning- people talking to someone hooked up to machines with no promise of waking. People saying goodbye- he wasn’t going to say goodbye- you never said goodbye. Once you learned his secret, it was never goodbye, only ever see you soon. It was because you knew. Goodbyes weren’t something he ever wanted to hear with a life like his. With losses like his. Peter grew to hate goodbyes as dumb and cliche as that sounded. You didn’t care though, you let him hate them and made sure not to say it. You had the chance to when you left him, but you didn’t. You didn’t stoop to his level and.. well, you didn’t want it to be goodbye. He had forced your hand-
The nurse led him to the Doctor in charge of your care. His face made Peter’s heart drop.
“Is sh-”
“I’m sorry..”
❝I ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ sᴇʟʟ ᴍʏ sᴏᴜʟ ғᴏʀ ᴀ ʙɪᴛ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴛɪᴍᴇ..❞
Tumblr media
“You promise you’ll be careful?”
“Only if you promise you’re my girl forever.”
You laugh softly and his chest feels like it might burst.”You’re silly, you know the answer to that.”
“Mhmm.. but I don’t? I’m oblivious, you know this considering you had to make the first move for us to even be like this.”
You roll your eyes playfully, “Well, you are right about that.. hmm..let’s see.”
He pouts, “Aw, c’mon, don’t be like that. You’re already my girl now, what’s so wrong with forever?”
You pretend to think, and it’s convincing enough to make him scared until you grin bigger than he’s ever seen. It was a smile he grew to adore, “Absolutely nothing Peter. I’ll always be here, even when you’re oblivious.. or dumb.. or-”
“No no, I get it. You don’t have to get specific.”
“You have to promise me too.”, you say.
“What?”
“Promise me you’re my dumb nerd forever?”
He makes a face, “Dumb nerd- I-”
“Promise.”, you insist, and he goes quiet, because now you’re serious. He gets why. He understands what you’re insinuating.His face softens and he accepts the rude description of him, only because you had called him yours.
He steals the softest kiss from your lips, grinning like a moron after, “You know better than I do that I’m only yours. Always. I was yours before you even knew it.”
“... You must think you’re so cool for kissing me first for once-”
“God- shut up! Let me live- just because you said those three words first doesn’t- hey! Don’t laugh! We were having a moment- I can’t-” and the rest dissolves into laughter.
In that moment he loved you so much, and he grew to love you even more. He wouldn’t trade you for the world. Not with you laughing like that- not with your smile like that. You were so beautiful then..
You were beautiful even now, as he laid you to rest with family, tears streaming down his face..
“You promised..”, he whispered, but no one could hear him. “You fucking promised and- god you were right there. I had you- I saved you- I’ve done it a thousand times why-”, he chokes on a sob, curling over to try and support himself but it’s not working. He’s crying out your name but you’re not responding.
You’re right fucking there, but you’re not moving and it’s absolutely killing him. You fought through everything with him- The Snap- villains that snapped his bones like twigs- beat him to a pulp. You were used as bait by a villain that knew too much- he saved you from them. From a falling building- from death- so what the fuck?
How is there no one for him to blame? No one he knew personally- no one but himself- but time and fate?
“It was only eleven minutes- god- I was ready to be done I swear- please- come back, I- Fuck.. god- I’m..”, he started to sob, “Come.. come home to me.. come... home with me..”
Everything was lost to sobs.. and not a damn soul could pry him from where you lay.
❝sᴏ ᴡʜʏ ᴀʀᴇɴ’ᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴇʀᴇ..❞
Making a new taglist soon but taggin @starksparker to be an ass. Also @grandmascottlang and @spiderboytotherescue

Peter Parker x Reader: Spider Spotting Pt. 1
Word Count: 1078 Pairing: Peter Parker|Spider-Man x Female Reader Contains: Fluff, teenagers being awkward, friends to lovers, multi-chapter, MCU Notes: Idek, first time writing anything Marvel. Be gentle.
My Writing Masterlist
The scent of the hot, spicy tea wafts into your nose, comforting and spreading its warmth. It’s a soothing mix of cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. The smooth, white cup in your hands is almost too hot to touch, but since your body feels like ice, anything above normal human temperature would be.
”Is it weird for me to be here?” you ask as nonchalantly as you can manage. It’s been one strange night.
Peter Parker takes a quick glance around his home while searching for words–any sensible words–to say. He hasn’t even touched his tea.
“Uhh, why would it be?” Peter retorts, his voice slightly lilting high.
You shrug and wonder how long you can keep your eyes on him until it gets creepy and makes him uncomfortable.
“Well, thanks anyway. Again,” you say for the fourth time in less than fifteen minutes and look away.
“Sure. No problem.”
For a while, you sit in silence by the kitchen counter, sipping the hot, spicy tea.
You don’t know Peter Parker all that well. He’s just a classmate – a casual acquaintance. But that doesn’t mean you have never wanted to know him better. You’ve always thought he’s cute, but never really got to talking since your social circles don’t exactly overlap at school.
What you do know about Peter, is that he’s a total nerd and really smart. His best friend is Ned Leeds. He used to be in all sorts of extracurricular activities, but quit most of them when he got an internship with Tony Stark. Those were his five minutes of fame at school.
Okay, more like five days, but that was only because people (mostly Flash) kept teasing him about it. Peter isn’t usually at the center of attention at school nor does he seem to enjoy it.
“So, umm, what’s your Stark internship like?” you ask to make conversation.
Peter almost winces and his eyes dart over the counter to you. “It’s, uhh, y’know. It’s pretty cool.” He clears his throat and tries very hard to act casual. His racing pulse has barely settled from earlier and he isn’t yet sure did he make the right call in saving you from the rain by bringing you to his place.
“Okay. I was hoping to get to my uncle’s law firm,” you say and take an extremely careful sip of tea since Peter is looking at you. This is what normal teenagers talk about, right? Internships, school, math homework…
“Law, huh? That’s cool.” Peter twists his hands on his lap, uncertain should he hold eye-contact or not. The suit under his hoodie feels like its burning against his skin, but what was he supposed to do? Leave you alone out in the rain to figure out your way home after almost being mugged? That’s not something your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man would do.
“Law seems a bit dull compared to Stark Industries, though,” you try to joke and offer an experimental smile to your savior.
Peter is sitting at the edge of his seat. He lets out a light chuckle at your quip and shakes his head gently.
“Nah, it’s a solid career. A good choice.” His eyes dart to the clock on the wall and he forces himself to take a sip. Still at least half an hour until May comes home. He takes an inconspicuous deep breath and forces himself to calm down.
You follow Peter’s line of sight. He seems to be on the edge and it makes you feel nervous, too.
“You okay? If you need me to go, I think the rain’s already let out…” You look outside the window of the seventh floor and it’s still pouring like crazy.
“What? No, you can stay! My aunt can give you a ride home when she comes back. Uh, are you still cold? Do you want a blanket or something?” Peter points vaguely towards the blanket on the couch back as he speaks. He isn’t used to this.
“I’m okay, thanks.” You hold the warm cup against your palms.
Peter gains courage from the smile that persists again on your lips.
“What were you doing outside this late anyway?” he asks.
You inhale a bit and look around instinctively to make sure no-one else is listening. You lean towards Peter like a conspirator. You might as well tell him.
“Promise not to tell anyone?” you plea in a hushed voice.
Peter nods fervently, captivated by the intense look in your eyes.
“I was looking for Spider-Man.”
Judging by the way Peter freezes momentarily and his brows rise, you guess that was not the answer he was expecting.
“Do you… do that a lot? I mean it’s dangerous out there and…” he trails off.
You lean on the counter and look him in the eyes. “And what were you doing out there at this hour?”
“I, uhh, I mean I– there’s this… I wasn’t–”
You motion him to stop stammering. It’s none of your business anyway. “Okay sorry, I shouldn’t be roasting you like this. I’m glad you came along when you did.”
Another one of your smiles makes Peter’s heart beat faster again. Too much excitement for one evening. Or rather, too much different kinds of excitements for one evening. And you have a really pretty smile. Wearing Peter’s (dry) grey sweater only highlights that in a way he didn’t believe existed.
It’s… thrilling?
No, he needs to stop thinking about it like that. He’s only helping you out.
“Yeah, me too.” Peter smiles back at you before hiding behind his tea cup.
You were incredibly lucky that Spider-Man was just heading home from his nightly patrol rounds, when he saw you and that shady guy from a block away. He immediately knew that set-up would end badly. In addition to that, it was raining heavily and you didn’t even have an umbrella with you.
For a shivering, soaked damsel in distress, Peter Parker could be a hero, too. Just because he happens to live on the same block. And only because you knew each other beforehand.
And you never learned that Spider-Man left the shady guy with a knife webbed on lamp post. It’s amazing how noisy a heavy rain can be since you didn’t notice a thing until Peter ran into the street, waving at you to get inside.
In the back of his mind, Peter wonders would you have been happier to be saved by the Spider-Man.

Henny ranks Eurovision 2019 (first edition, only studio/national final)
helloooo hello hello and welcome to.... idek what but we’re in the middle of eurovision season, we’re through the national finals and all songs have been released, now we wait for the last few revamps before we get excited for the preparties. and of course, it’s time to rank! last year i redid my ranking four times after my first edition, and i think this year will be no different. ok, enough small talk, are you ready?
category: so good in all their unique ways
1 Switzerland (not that i’m religious but i pray to all gods that luca can deliver live because this? oh god i’m in love please please pleeeease) 2 Sweden (my boy!!! have you seen his energy on stage? did you know he used no pre-recorded back-up vocals? doesn’t he feel like everyone’s favourite coach/teacher/uncle?) 3 Italy (the pure quality of this song. oh my. the beat! the clap!) 4 Greece (i claim this as a wlw anthem. it’s majestic) 5 Netherlands (goosebumps worthy) 6 Cyprus (a fuego 2.0 but i’m not complaining) 7 Norway (while i would have preferred en livredd mann this is still a perfect party/dancefloor song that some have pointed out sounds like monsters from last year and honestly? yeah!) 8 Iceland (took me a little while to get into but oh my gOD this is mesmerizing and captivating in all the right ways)
category: you Have Something
9 Belgium (the verses! oh my the verses! i believe in this kid) 10 Malta (the drop! wow!) 11 Azerbaijan (solid like bones last year, but more interesting) 12 Spain (the revamp was actually not reallllly as good as the original, except for the stick, but this is still a happy pill that always gets me on my feet) 13 Romania (a grower! i just really enjoy listening to this) 14 Ireland (feel-good sound #1) 15 Czech Republic (apart from the first half minute it’s really bopping) 16 Denmark (feel-good sound #2) 17 Albania (the sound, beat, production, thank you)
18 France (the english... doesn’t sound as sophisticated as the french does. but i don’t really speak french. so maybe it’s all on an equal level. anyway, i adore the singer but not so much the song) 19 Slovenia (the studio is so dreamy, a PERFECT song to chill to. but on stage this needs to be intimate without being introverted and that’s a fine line to balance on)
category: you’re not bad but...
20 Armenia (i can’t really wrap my head around this yet. video was messy, but it’s an ok song to listen to without watching it. verses was better than the chorus)
21 Russia (while i love sergey this song didn’t... it didn’t keep my attention to come back for another listen) 22 Austria (this is beautiful!! but it annoys me how basically the whole chorus is built on the word “you”) 23 Hungary (same case here as with sergey honestly) 24 San Marino (honestly this isn’t bad but it feels like a guilty pleasure anyway. which i guess is why this ended up here. but imo it’s san marino’s best entry ever) 25 North Macedonia (i cried a bit when watching the video. it felt powerful. but it was on international women’s day and that added to it and now i’m scared to come back to it in case the magic will be gone) 26 Serbia (this is beautiful but also a song i forget how it sounds as soon as it ends) 27 Finland (i hope this will open the semi becuase it’s perfect for that, but apart from that... it leaves me unbothered) 28 United Kingdom (this feels so.. standard. by the book. good, but boring) 29 Belarus (too much lyrics. feels like the song is overflowing) 30 Lithuania (it feels like this should be higher but i guess everything above it just... beats it)
category: bland, boring, or just a questionmark
31 Germany (i have to admit they had a pretty solid performance. but i’m not convinced by the song. and i would have preferred aly ryan) 32 Australia (i just can’t get around to this at all. and i can’t believe the aussies chose this over 2000 and whatever?) 33 Latvia (like sebi, but worse and less interesting) 34 Estonia (to rhyme “this” with “this” is not paying off in my book. especially when the song sounds like walmart aviccii) 35 Moldova (i don’t really have anything to say about this actually) 36 Poland (just not a fan of their technique. i don’t like listening to it) 37 Portugal (this is the questionmark. i just don’t get this. don’t get the appeal. at all. but bonus points for being experimental i guess) 38 Israel (again a song i forget as soon as it ends. and it’s not even interesting enough to keep me through the whole thing) 39 Croatia (too much screaming) 40 Montenegro (you’re like. 20 years late. and not in a good way. this song gives me awkward-mom-dance vibes somehow??) 41 Georgia (i... idek)

any book recs?
Heck yes I do!
Simon VS. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli: Even if you saw the movie already, the book is like a different storyline. They’re super close but very different and I literally can’t decide which I prefer
It by Stephen King: I’m not actually the biggest horror fan of all time but after seeing the movie, I fell in love with this idea. I’m only about half way through the novel version, but there is something insane about the way Stephen King writes. He truly understands human’s on a level not many people do, or at least understands them enough to REALLY draw out the true horror of the world. I don’t know man, it’s a good fucking book. 
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: Actually though, i re-read this after having read it 6 years ago, and holy shit this is actually amazing. I love this novel. Frankenstein is… a fascinating story. 
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: Seriously fucking amazing. It’s about a little girl growing up in Nazi Germany only it’s told from Death’s point of view, and I know what you’re thinking - how the fuck? But holy shit it is a fucking crazy good story, and the character of Death had me hooked on the first page
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski: One of my all time favorite books. It’s kind-of sort-of the story of Hamlet, but with a totally different modern revamp. The main character is mute, was born mute, and his closet relationship is with his dog. His mom marries his uncle after his father dies in a fire, and.. well. It’s just incredibly beautiful and amzing.
The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind: Look. This is the longest book series I have ever read. I used to spend every second of every day reading these books. But if you’re a fantasy fan, and huge word counts don’t scare you, then good LORD is this the series for you. I think back on this series so fucking often, and I’ve read certain books in it like, six times each. Currently, my mom has my copies or I would be READING IT AGAIN since this series hass been on my mind alot again. Again, it’s super long. I think currently we’re on book like… 27. I googled it. holy shit it’s grown since I last picked it up. The best part about this series is 1. You can technically stop at any point because each book has a relatively good ending that will keep you satisfied (except book 1 and 2, you really have to finish 3 while youre at it). 2. They reflect the modern world so well sometimes you’re just godamn wow. Seriously. If you love fantasy, please give it a try. It’s worth it. 
The Host by Stephanie Meyer: Look, I know what you’re all going to say. Twilight was terrible, why would we read this? Listen, LISTEN I actually love The Host. It was really well done, and it definitely Stephanie Meyer’s better novel. The movie adaptation sucked ass but I actually DO still read this book over and over again. It’s a sci-fi novel about alien’s coming to Earth and taking over host bodies. They do this on lots of planets, and Earth is their newest requistion. It’s also the only planet to fight back well enough that the aliens actually think they might win. It’s not as weird as it sounds. It’s a love story, and it goes far more in depth with the meaning of life and stuff like that then Twilight could dream of, so give it a try. 
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood: Actually amazing. I read it for class like… idek, 5 years ago maybe? When I heard it was getting it’s own show I was like !!!! but I haven’t actually watched the show version yet, so I have no idea how it compares to the novel. The novel is fucking amazing though. Legit made me cry. However, if you have a sexual trauma or trigger, this might be a difficult read in some select parts :/ Still fucking worth it times ten. I literally bought the book when my class was over, it was so good (the teacher actually, actually handed out copies, how insane is that? She was amzing)
Beloved by Toni Morrison: FUCK SO GOOD. I’ve read it twice, both times around school, and got to write papers on it twice as well. This is… this is one hell of a book. Both times I read it, I got so much more of it than the first time. THERE IS SO MUCH TO UNPACK. It’s about a former slave whose haunted by the baby daughter she killed to prevent her children from ending up slaves as well. This was just before slavery was abolished, as well, and while her baby daughter died, her other three kids lived. However, now her home is haunted, and the baby ACTUALLY comes back. It’s crazy and amazing and one of my favorite novels of all time. I can’t pick favorites guys, okay, but I love this one so fucking much. 
Pellinor Series by Alison Croggon: Listen. Listen. I read this book when I was in high school immediately after I hurt my back so bad I was stuck in bed for a week, and literally continue to have issues with too this day. I CANNOT TELL YOU what the fucking plot was, and apparently there are 2 more books in the series that I didn’t know about, BUT I LOVED AND ADORED THIS BOOK OKAY IT WAS A WONDERFUL FANTASY NOVEL AND IT HAS A FEMALE LEAD ALRIGHT ITS GREAT JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT AND READ IT
Uglies Series by Scott Westserfeld: I remember finally getting my hands on this series and reading it in like, two days. Idk. It was great. If you can’t tell, I love fantasy and sci-fi and horror, which all mesh together horribly and you can never tell them apart. This isn’t horror though, just the other two. It’s about a world where when people turn a certain age, they get to become a “pretty’ which means to have surgery done to make them look perfect - only the reason for this is to dumb down society. Read it. I love it. 
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: I love vampire novels. If you couldn’t tell, this is a vampire novel. It’s one of my preferred series though, I think Mead did an amazing job crafting the world she crafts. Vampires aren’t under wraps, nor are they inherently evil, but they do work in a really weird system where you have the Special vampires who the other vampires protect, and then like the bodyguard vampires. I can’t fully remember, it’s been a long time. But regardless, I remember this being one of the few novel series that made me cry, and I still love it to this day. 
Harry Potter by JK Rowling: I thought this was such a give in that I didn’t put it on the list until now but actually like. Super good. I grew up in this series and sometimes I talk about it and remember I’m 24 cause some people I know have never read it and IT WAS LITERALLY MY CHILDHOOD. Still think it’s worth it, even as I poke more and more holes in the story, because the older you get, the more you start to recognize problematic things. Clearly, Harry Potter was meant for children, not an adult who wants to critize everything. GOOD READ THOUGH
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: I grew up the girl writing fanfiction hid away in the back of the class because I didn’t want anyone to know. I look up to the people older than me at the time who developed and crafted the world we live in now, where Fanfiction is almost acceptable. Reading this novel... brought me right back to the Harry Potter days when the fandom was sitll new, underground, and ao3 didn’t exist. Honestly... it’s a really good book, and really hits home for people like me who write fanfiction and want nothing more than to write novels one day. 
Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin: But actually the books are really good. I fucking adore the show and that’s what got me into the books, but the books are HELLA good. Weirdly, Daenery’s Targaryen is not the most well written character ever, and I blame it on Martin being a guy, becasue sometimes I actually hate her in the novels (seriously, he makes her sound... like a child, which I guess she kind of is) BUT one of my favorite things in the novel is that her husband Khal Drogo does not sexually assault her in the novels. He’s super sweet and good to her, and honestly just. Yep. Yeah. Good series.
What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum Ucci: The most heartwrenching book of all time. I can’t tell you how long I cried over this book. I’m literally getting tearful as I think about it. It is... fucking BEAUTIFUL. I want to read it right this fucking second. It’s about a girl who was in remission from cancer, but who joins the cheerleading team. Only, shes technically too tall to be a cheerleader, so she gets an ED which actually puts her at risk for remission. She meets Lani Garver - the literal emodiment of a nonbinary person before that term every existed. Lani Garver is... a fucking angel. An actual angel okay. They help the main character through so much, specifically bullying, and Lani taught ME so much when I read it. The author refers to Lani as he, but remember that it was written before nonbinary was an accepted (possible even before it was a fully labeled) thing, but the book is SO worth reading. I. I’m going to go read it again. 
Streams of Babel and it’s sequel The Fire Will Fall by Carol Plum Ucci: I originally read the second novel first on accident, which just goes to show you how good an author Ucci is becasue I didn’t even NOTICE until I got to the end and saw there was a first novel, oops. But, its a take on the lives of 4 kids in a situation of chemical warfare, and what happens to them when they get poisoned by the water. I think one of the kids is a fucking comptuer genius. Idk, I can’t fully remember, but it is one of my favorite novels, so check them out. 
I’m like 100% that there’s more I could list but those are the ones I could currently recall BECAUSE THIS IS A MONUMENTAL TASK AND I LOVE BOOKS

Oh my god congrats! How did it happen?
thank you :) ♥
idek how it happened but somehow we ended up talking about minorities and then my mum mentioned gay rights and insisted that gay people have been allowed to marry for many years and i was like “no actually it was last year” and she talked about her lesbian high school classmates and my uncle’s gay brother and some gay german politicians and i started shaking and sweating a lot but i didn’t say anything, i just kept waiting and waiting bc i was too scared, and then like after half an hour of thinking and sweating and shaking my mum was like “tell me something, you’re so quiet” and i was like “i could tell you something but idk how you would react” and my mum made a ???? face and i just got it over with and said “i’m a lesbian”
and then she was like “are you serious?” and i couldn’t talk bc i would have started sobbing so i just nodded lmao. and then she was like “that’s alright” and asked me why i didn’t tell her sooner, so i explained that they always used the word gay with negative connotations, and she was like “yeah but we don’t mean it, we just grew up like that” blah blah and she asked me if i’m really sure (yes mum…) and when i knew, and then she asked my dad to say something and he just was like “what am i supposed to say? i mean if you want to live like th-” and then he realised that he almost implied that it was a choice and immediately took it back, and then my mum asked me how i can be sure if i’ve never tried it and i was like “mum trust me i’m sure” and she was like “yeah you’re right, you just Know”
like, they were so understanding and my mum keeps reassuring me that i can come to her whenever i need to get something off my chest, and i asked her to stop calling things and people gay, and she was like “i’ll try but i can’t promise anything” and i was like “as long as you apologise when i call you out it’s fine” and she promised.
i could honestly cry just typing this, i’m so grateful for how supportive they are, i really really really didn’t expect this. and my mum just came into my room to make plans on how to find me a girlfriend fkdlasj like wow

We set up a huge tent at the rooftop and had fairy lights all around and so much beer and soju and so. much. food. She and Hans ended up bringing most of the food we got home.
