#meh about today but I'm still cute
Note
Heyyy I’m literally playing through ps4 Spider-Man again 🤣!
I was wondering if I could request a ps4 fic, maybe Peter and reader have been dating for a while, and she gets hurt during the explosion and he can’t find her but she’s with may at feast with like a broken arm or something?? (She knows he’s Spider-Man) 👀🫶🏼
hey lol thanks for requesting! I'm on the first playthrough of the game myself. Basically this is set during the explosion at the election event in the game, and Peter and you are there to proudly watch Officer Davis accept his award.
/
"Hey." Peter comes up from behind you on the sidewalk, fixing wrinkles in his civilian clothes. He must've just changed.
"Hey, Parker." You nudge him. "Ready to go watch Osborn smooch up to the well-meaning audience of Manhattan?"
"Well, ready as I'll ever be." Peter takes your hand. "I'm really just there to watch Davis get his well-deserving award, y'know. Hey, didn't I tell you to stop calling me Parker?"
"Meh, you love it." You joke. "You'll always be Parker to me, even if you are my boyfriend now. It's our thing."
Peter shakes his head, but you know based on his little smile- he loves that you have a little thing just for him.
Together, you walk to the intersection in front of City Hall, where many people crowd around, waiting for Mayor Osborn and whatever speech he's about to give today. They're all dressed in Osborn themed merchandise, cheering and clapping.
You can't believe this many people care about Osborn's so-called promises to the city- you and Peter are really hoping he won't be re-elected this term after all- but people are clapping for him, and you sigh knowing that your cost of living is about to go up.
"Hey. Wipe that frown off your face. We're here to be supportive." Peter whispers from next to you in the crowd, and you nod.
"Where's Davis? Is that him?" You whisper back, pointing to an older black man up on the stage.
"Yup. You wouldn't believe it, he was so helpful in Hell's Kitchen. Dude whipped out his gun and had my back like we've been best buds for years." Peter smiles. "There's not many out there doing it like him."
"He sounds like a real treasure. I'm glad you have someone on your side." You squeeze Peter's hand, and continue to look up towards the stage in mild excitement.
You don't really care for Osborn's speech- Peter laughs about his promise to open up technology for NYC when you both know that's reserved for the elite- but you both grin when Davis, looking nervous as ever, walks up the stage to receive his award.
"It is my privilege to present Officer Jefferson Davis with the Department Medal of Honour." Osborn hangs a medal around Davis' neck, and you and Peter clap.
"I'm so glad this is all over. The gang war, I think." Peter whispers to you, and you raise your eyebrows.
"Really? Does this mean you'll finally be a little safer?" You ask, but Peter frowns a little.
"Well, there's some loose ends still to be tied up, but-"
"Loose ends?" You give him a wary glance. "Like what?"
"Like whatever 'Consolidated Shipping' is. It doesn't make sense." Peter sighs, watching concern grow on your face. "It's not right, but I'll figure it out."
Davis says a few words- he thanks his wife and his son, Miles, who you can see is sitting up at the front of the stage.
"Aw, cute kid." You remark to Peter, and he nods, gaining a slightly sheepish smile.
"Officer Davis did say I remind him of his son. I'll take it as a compliment." Peter jokes, and you snicker, calling him even more of a baby.
Behind you, Sable guards are talking on their walkie talkies about "keeping eyes on Osborn," which to you sounds as if they perceive a threat. You turn back to tell Peter, when he suddenly flinches.
"Peter-?"
He grabs his head, panicking- you watch as his pupils dilate, and he's clearly in some kind of shock.
"Everything feels off-" Peter flinches again, and you know he's having a Spider-Sense meltdown. There must be multiple things happening at once- even worse, you're not sure what he's supposed to do in this situation. He's not suited up, and he risks revealing his identity if he does anything.
Either way, Peter runs behind you. He shoves people out of the way, trying to get to the back of the event, behind the audience, but he's not fast enough. There are men arriving out of cars- corrupted men, turning that strange grey-blue-transparent hue that confirms their connection with Martin Li.
Peter runs- he dashes- but you see him flinch again, cowering under such threatening energy. He turns to the stage in horror, and you gasp in shock.
There's another corrupted on stage, covered in explosive devices.
An explosion goes off behind you, to the right of you, than another massive one on stage- the ground shakes beneath you, and you're too in shock to move.
"Get down!" Peter shoves you back, attempting to push you out of the way, just as another two explosions cause the earth under you to rattle, and you lose your footing and fall back on the pavement. You twist your arm unnaturally and hit your head.
You black out, the last thing you see being massive blue-black explosions in the sky.
/
Peter wakes to floating ash in the sky.
He coughs- there's a sharp pain in his right side, and a slight ache at the top of his hairline- he touches his forehead and pulls his fingers away to see brown-red, dry blood.
It doesn't matter. He'll heal faster than most, anyways- he needs to locate you.
He gets up, seizes a little due to the pain- and to his alarm, you're nowhere in his near sight. He walks around seeing Sable guards help people off the streets- although Peter really thinks they're poking and prodding and shoving them away, so they can clean up the mess around here.
He hopes you haven't been taken away by Sable guards.
Peter rushes to the nearest clinic- but there's too many people crowding around there with their injuries, and the receptionist at the emergency room tells him there's no one by your name here.
He begins to panic. You're not responding to his calls, either. Peter doesn't want to believe the worst could've happened to you, but he does hear people talking on the streets about the casualties. Apparently at least 10 people have been found dead so far- Peter starts swearing under his breath.
He decides to head to FEAST- he's not sure if you'll be there, but it's better to ask Aunt May or some of the volunteers if you've been seen. FEAST also operates as an emergency medical clinic, too, even with limited supplies, and it's with this small amount of hope that Peter travels there.
Pushing through the doors, the front desk woman- Amanda- she's startled by how intensely Peter asks about you.
"I don't know, Peter." She points to the main auditorium, where many homeless and injured people are currently being attended to. "It's kind of an open house back here- you're going to have to look through the crowds."
Peter sighs. "Thanks, Amanda."
It takes him about fifteen minutes to do a full, quick walkthrough. The entire time, his heartbeat thumps faster as he realizes- he's not seeing you anywhere. There's nobody wearing your trademark scarf, your usual dark blue jeans- nobody with your fastidious expression, where you always seem to take in the entire world before speaking- nobody to relieve the steady ache in his heart.
Peter walks into the room full of medical supplies, expecting to see Aunt May- and while May is there, busy with another volunteer, the first thing he sees is you, with your hair all disheveled and messy, bruises on your cheek and a cut under your lip, and your arm wrapped in a cast and a sling.
But you have a soft, comforting smile. You're kneeling down to help a little girl- she can't be older than five- and you're placing a bandage on her knee. And the little girl squeals, hugging you after you say "It's all better now."
Peter would agree with that.
You look up, arms still embraced around the little girl- Rina is her name- to see Peter, looking wistful, sad, a clear lump in his throat. His eyes are watery.
"Peter?" You watch as he comes forward.
"I thought you were- I thought..." He wipes his eyes. "Are you okay? What happened?"
"Well, Little Rina over here needed a little bit of medical attention." You kindly tap her shoulder and she nods up at Peter, smiling. "She tripped and fell and no one was paying attention to her knee, so I decided to help her."
"That's..." Peter trails off, wondering how you could be so selfless when your own face was looking a bit worse for wear. "That's sweet of you to do. How do you feel, kiddo?"
He kneels towards her, and she grins really big. "Better!"
"Alright, high five then." Peter high fives her, and she dashes off afterwards, most likely looking for the parent she came with.
"Why didn't you respond to my calls?" Peter asks you as soon as you turn back to him. "I thought... I thought the worst had happened-"
"Peter, please. Stop with the wounded ego." May calls him out, listening from the sidelines. "What's important is that she's safe and in one piece- that's more than enough to feel grateful about."
Peter looks down, ashamed. He knows May is right, and he has to swallow his pride for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Peter." You grasp his hand, and he looks back at you, jaw tight as he listens. "I didn't mean to not answer your calls- my phone got shattered. And I didn't know where to find you after I woke up- I was already being taken away by Sable guards to 'safety' and then I decided my best chance to find you was over here."
"Oh." Peter feels kind of dumb, but he also feels glad you think of FEAST as a spot to find him. "I should've kept you safe."
"Don't. Don't make yourself crazy with what you could've done." You plead with him, and he sighs but shakes his head. "My arm will heal with time. I guess I landed on it weirdly and broke it."
Peter winces. "Well, you can always ask me for help if it bothers you. I'm there for you."
He traces your lip, where the cut under is still a red-brown, harsh hue in comparison to the pink of your bottom lip, and May takes this as her cue to leave.
Peter snorts. "I wish you had my-"
"Super healing? Yeah, I wish that too." You laugh. "Were you lucky enough to not get hit, or did you just heal on the way here?"
Peter's reaching for a facial bandage and some rubbing alcohol. "The latter."
"Ugh, lucky bastard." You smile up at him, cringing only slightly as Peter rubs away the blood from your wound. "I'm just glad that means I don't have to worry too much about you."
"You still do." Peter remarks, placing the bandage on your face. "But that just means you love me."
And, being ever so thankful that you're safely back in his arms, Peter places a soft kiss on your forehead, and then a slightly-less-soft one on your mouth, hoping it doesn't hurt you, but happy that you kiss him back anyways.

Next Week
( steve harrington x reader )
in which you just want to rent Back to the Future but every week it has already been rented and every time you come back to check Steve Harrington says it will be back. . . next week and for some reason, you still believe him.
or
in which two lovesick idiots have to make stupid excuses to talk to each other.
content warning mild cursing, steve being an idiot, the reader being an idiot, robin being the only smart one, and steve's awful description of the back to the future plot
a / n i love steve harrington so here's this... the last piece of happiness on this account before i drop so much angst with no mercy ( and then after that a robin fluff piece ) i believe you can survive this war but before that happens enjoy this mess!!
You had noticed a few things about the video store in Hawkins, Indiana. One, Keith didn’t work there alone anymore. Two, the cute boy working there always made your hands unnecessarily sweaty. And three, they never seemed to have the movies you were looking for.
It started a few weeks ago. Your sister wanted to watch a movie that weekend after missing the showing of Back to the Future due to the unfortunate mall fire that knocked out a whole block of town. So the two of your drove to the gas station, bought a bunch of junk food, and headed to the video store. Though as soon as you walked in, you noticed the idiot who would quiz you for around twenty minutes on every movie you returned, and no you weren’t exaggerating, your sister had timed it, was no longer at the counter. But instead, the fallen king of Hawkins High, Steve Harrington, him and his hair in all its glory. You weren’t sure how his dethroning as king resulted in him getting stuck working at the video store by the arcade, for half a second you question if it was even him or maybe some weirdly similar look alike. But no, no it was Steve, you would know it anywhere. And just like any day, you had made your way to the counter, smiling at the boy who almost immediately smiled back upon meeting your gaze.
“Hi,” you greeted.
“Hey,” he replied, reciting the lines Keith had gotten him to memorize after repeating them to him probably fifty times. “I’m Steve, welcome to Hawkins Family Video, where we bring movies to you, what can I do for you today?”
“I know who you are, Steve” you said, though immediately you wished you could turn back time find a time machine and jump backwards at how creepy it sounded. “Shit, I didn’t mean that to sound so creepy! Im sorry, I just, we went to the same high school. Well of course we went to the same high school but you know-”
“No! No, it’s good,” Steve replied, slightly stumbling over his words. “I, uh, I didn't think you were being creepy. What can I do for you today?”
“Oh, yeah, I was looking for Back to the Future,” you replied.
“Back to the Future’ huh?” He replied.
“Yeah,I didn’t really get to see it after the whole mall burning down and all, you know?”
He only nodded, you noticing him visibly tensing up at you comment. Passing it off as nothing but it being a stranger memory, a tragedy for a small town like Hawkins, something that didn’t happen often. It was weird, the tiniest bit unsettling.
“If i'm being honest, the movie was pretty meh. Like just okay. Pretty low on the movie scale for me. I got to see it, it was a little confusing,” Steve explained, his voice slightly dropping into a whisper. “Not to spoil anything, but I’m pretty sure, the mom in that movie is trying to bang her son...so…”
You stared at him for a second, waiting for him to say he was joking. But nothing came, only silence as you stared back at him with wide eyes, your voice dropping into a whisper to match his.
“Wait, you aren’t joking?” you asked.
“I mean, I work at a video store, would I be steering you wrong?” He asked.
“There’s no way! No way!” You practically yelled. “That’s messed up, they played that here? How did the PTA at the schools not go insane?”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to say! No one believes me,” he agreed.
“I gotta see this movie,” you said, a quiet laugh escaping at the end of your words.
“Ill go ahead and find that for you,” he offered as he walked backwards towards the back room, bumping into the door in the process. “I’ll be right back.”
And he didn’t lie, not long after the boy headed back out of the backroom, you quickly realizing he was in fact empty handed.
“I’m sorry, just realized someone came in earlier and rented our last copy,” he tried to explain, running a hand through his hair.
“Oh,”you replied, slightly deflating after the anticipation built up for the movie. “That’s okay, I’ll just rent something-.”
“But you can come back next week!” He interrupted, practically yelling. “It will be back next week…”
“Yeah? Okay. Cool, great! Sounds like a plan,” you replied with a slight nod. “Guess I’ll see you next week?”
“Yep, next week, see you then,” he replied, his words coming out in an awkward kind of manner.
With a quick smile at the boy, you made your way towards the door, not even noticing that your hands were starting to become extremely clammy. Only stopped by the sound of Steve’s voice once again.
“Hey! What’s your name?” He asked. “You know, so I can keep track of who wants the movie next?”
And so you gave him your name, writing it down on a piece of paper because of his claimed horrible memory watching as he tucked it into his pocket as you exited yhe store. A smile glued to your face and a giddy somewhat nauseating feeling in your stomach as you made your way back into the car, almost forgetting the fact your sister was waiting for you. Scratch that, completely forgetting your sister was waiting for you.
“Did you get the movie?” She asked, practically groaning the sentence out.
“What?” You asked, buckling your seatbelt.
“The movie” She replied like it was the most obvious thing. “Where is it?”
“Oh! Shit, yeah, that’s why we're here! Um, they didn’t have it, we'll have to watch it next week,” you replied nonchalantly, as something that once would have annoyed you had zero effect on your mood. “The boy who worked there said it would be back next week, wrote my name down and everything.”
The younger girl let out another groan as she dramatically collapsed back into her seat.
“Fine. But don’t expect me to watch the fucking ‘Outsiders’ with you again.”
And It went on for a few weeks, you making your way to the video store every Friday night with the same answer from the boy. One would question the validity of his statement, that it would be there next week, your sister had called you a fucking idiot. Her newfound revaluation that she could say a curse word without being struck by lightning completely shifting her vocabulary.
One night you even asked for a different movie you were pretty sure no one would be watching, but of course it just so happened to have gotten rented. You didn’t mind though all that much, though you would never admit it out loud, you didn’t mind it at all. Because each time you walked in you were greeted by Steve Harrington and some sort of memorable conversation. Steve Harrington. Who was actually pretty nice company, no matter how much of a dork you had realized he was. And no matter how many times you told yourself to just watch something at your house or borrow something from your friend, you continued to drive up to the same store, only to be given the same answer. And no matter how many times your sister had called you oblivious, you ignored the metaphorical butterflies that attacked the walls of your stomach. Maybe it was those conversations, the conversations that caused you to stay way longer than you intended? The conversations that ranged from joking about Keith to talking about stuff that left the two of you there up until closing. Whatever it was, you couldn’t help yourself from coming back.
Just like any other Friday, you parked your car outside of the store, your sister no longer tagging along as she knew you weren’t getting the movie but instead a hour long conversation she would have to sit through in pure boredom. Opening the door, the little bell rang, and you were immediately caught off guard by someone else at the counter. There stood a girl, close to your age from what you could tell. Her shoulder length blonde hair was covering her face as she looked at some book that laid on the counter. Hesitantly, you made your way to the counter, feeling somewhat out of place without having the perfect haired, idiot staring at you. Like you were in a whole other building.
“Hi,” you stated, the blonde haired girl looking up from her book. Feeling as if this was somehow your first time stopping in.
“Hello,” the girl replied, gaze back on her book as she flipped to the next page.
“I come in here every week looking for Back to the Future, I’m pretty sure Steve has my name written down,” you tried to explain to the girl. “I was just wondering if it was finally here to rent?”
“‘Back to the Future’?” The girl asked, as if you were stupid.
“Yeah…” you replied, doubting yourself for a second.
“What do you mean it hasn’t been here?” asked the girl, whose name you had picked up as Robin from her name tag. “Nobody has rented that movie for like the past two months.”
“But...I, he told me,” you said, at a loss for words.
“Well Stevie told you wrong,” said Robin, with a slight laugh, setting the book aside to set her full attention on you. “What’s your name again?”
“Y/N,” you simply replied.
“No way! Your’re the famous Y/N?” said Robin with a awestruck kind of enthusiasm. “I have been waiting to meet you. No wonder he was so upset about missing work today. He hates work, I was so surprised he even cared that much that he couldn’t be here but-”
“Famous?” You asked, the word sticking out in the midst of her ramble.
“Yeah, it’s not everyday that Steve Harrington has been so encompassed by a girl that he has to fake that ‘Back to the Future’ isn’t here just to get her back,” Robin said, a laugh following her words, almost bending over from how hard she was laughing. “What an idiot!”
“What do you mean by fake?”
“That it was gone. It was a plan to talk to you again. Oh he’s gonna kill me if he knew I told you,” she explained. “But he needs to get it over with and just ask you out. There is no way he strung it out this long!“
You stood there astonished, not even sure what to say back in response. Now your turn to wear that awestruck looks What were you even supposed to say? Where was the lesson on what to do in this type of situation?
“Is he still here?” You asked, part of you wanting to see him, the other wishing to run away and not look back.
“No matter how much I want to see this go down, sadly he had something today,” she replied. “I’m closing up tonight, but you know, I’m sure he’ll be here next week.”

Carina
Luigi x GN! Reader
Requested by @andy-squirrel-and-friends
I know I already used a similar picture on one of my other works, shush I'm running out of pictures to use. Someone send me some plzz
Summary: Luigi has been down in the dumps lately and you find the perfect way to cheer him up.
Notes: Carina means cute, in a feminine context, in Italian, and I figured that would be perfect for this scenario. I also changed it a little of what you asked on accident and didn't realize it until I got really deep into writing it so I hope that's okay I apologize! No warnings for this one! Hope you enjoy it!
(H/L)=Hair Length
(H/C)=Hair Color
💚
The front door softly opened and then shut, indicating that your significant other was home from work.
"Hey Lui! How was today?" You called from the laundry room.
"Meh." Luigi mumbled as he walked upstairs to y'alls room.
You sighed to yourself hearing that. This was the third day in a row that Luigi was bummed out. You weren't sure why he was being this way, and when you ask what's wrong, he just says: "Don't worry about me. I'm alright." But you knew that was a damn lie. Normally, Luigi was excited and energetic and happy, but lately, he has been dull, monotone, and even depressed. You weren't sure why he was acting like this, but you were going to get to the bottom of this.
You quickly finished the laundry that you were doing and headed upstairs to the bedroom where Luigi was at.
"Hey." You announce as you knocked on the door, "Can I come in?"
It was silent for a few seconds.
"Sure."
You opened the door and walked into the bedroom to find Luigi top less in his boxers, looking for some lounge clothes to wear. You gazed at him. Luigi was so handsome to you that you loved gazing at him with whatever chance you got. Whether it be while he was cooking in the kitchen, asleep with drool coming out of his mouth, or during intimate times, you loved to gaze at him.
"What are you looking at?" Luigi asks you.
"Nothing, pretty boy." You joked, which made him do a half smile.
"What's been on your mind, Lui? Talk to me." You plead as you approached him.
Luigi shook his head at you.
"It's nothing. I promise, love." He reassures you.
You still weren't buying it.
"Lui, what is it?" You ask again.
Luigi leans in and kisses your temple.
"I promise I am okay. I'm just tired, is all." Luigi strokes your (H/L) (H/C), making you smile.
"I know, but I worry about you." You said, leaning onto Luigi's shoulder.
"You have nothing to worry about." Luigi reassures you, wrapping his arm around you.
You nod in response, but you still couldn't help but worry for Luigi. You needed a way to figure out how to lighten his mood, and you had an idea of how to do that.
~
"We have three available for adoption. It just depends on which one suits your need the best." The shelter worker lady informed you.
You gazed through the three glass shelters the cats were in. One cat was white, one was black, and then there was an orange tabby cat with white stripes all over his body with green eyes. Your eyes met with the orange cats. The orange cat stared right back into your eyes, and you couldn't help but feel drawn to the cat.
"Do you think you could tell me more about this orange one?" You ask the worker.
"Ah yes, she just arrived today, so we don't have a name for her yet, but she loves loves cuddles and to be loved on. She loves food and loves to play with her ball of yarn and gets attached to her person." The worker informed you.
This cat was a perfect match for Luigi. You just knew it. You had a gut feeling you were correct.
"I'll take her. She is perfect." You told the worker.
"Awesome. I'll fetch her crate for ya." The worker said as she walked off.
You pressed your hand up against the glass, and the cat pressed her paw against the glass where your hand was at. You giggled in an excited way. It was as if the cat knew she was gonna go to the perfect home.
~
It was a waiting game at this point. You had the cat in your lap with a little green bow tie on it, both of you waiting for Luigi to get home.
"He is going to love you." You spoke to the cat.
The cat rubbed her chin up against yours, and you chuckled in response. You still didn't really have a name for her, but you wanted Luigi to make that choice. It was his cat, after all. Suddenly, you heard the sound of his car engine pull up and park in front of the house. Your heart started racing rapidly. You couldn't wait till your wonderful significant other walked through the door and see your surprise you had for him.
"Relax (Y/N)." You told yourself.
You felt as if your heart was gonna burst out of your chest. You couldn't wait. You almost told Luigi the surprise as soon as you got the cat, but you figured it was best to wait till he got home. Luigi walked up to the front door, turned the door knob and opened the front door.
"Hey, Lui." You greet him with excitement.
You could tell by his gaze that he was tired. Extremely. He was so tired that all he noticed was you.
"Hey, (Y/N)." Luigi greets you as he tiredly walked to the couch.
"Are you okay?" You ask as you sat next to him, with the cat in your lap still.
"Y-Yeah, just-" Luigi was interrupted by the cat rubbing on him and crawling into his lap.
"Um..whose cat is this?" Luigi asks.
You leaned in close to him, placing a peck on his cheek.
"She's yours, Lui."
Luigi's eyes went wide in shock as he gazed at the orange tabby cat.
"R-Really?" Luigi asks in suprisement.
"Surprise!!" You exclaimed as you hugged the side of him.
Luigi chuckled as he started petting his cat. The cat would rub against his hand motions and even rub her up against his chin, as if she had already claimed Luigi as her owner.
"I just noticed you've been down lately and figured maybe having an animal companion might help." You inform him.
Luigi looked at you, his deep blue eyes staring into your (E/C) eyes. He felt so lucky to have you. You cared for him so much and wanted the best for him.
"Thank you." Luigi says as he kisses you.
You kissed back until he pulled away and turned his attention back to his cat.
"Carina. I think that's a perfect name for this one." Luigi comments.
"Yes. I agree." You agreed as you lean in close to Luigi, leaning your head onto his shoulder.
You had a feeling that living your life with Luigi and now Carina was gonna be the best years of your life. You just knew it.
💚
I hope you enjoy it!! Again I'm sorry for accidently changing what you wanted I didn't realize it until I was almost done with it but I hope you enjoy it!!

(pov i forgot to write “have fun with the event” in my last message lmao whoops)
Okay but consider, #10 with Floyd please? i think it’d be cute!
(sorry this is the first time requesting writing from someone hkakdjaj)
anyway, i cant wait to read everything, (actually i can, take your time :]), have fun writing!
-🍓
【 somewhere only we know 】
prompt #10: This wasn’t meant to be a date, but he had such a good time and now it’s 2 a.m. and he should really go back… (ft. floyd leech)
gender neutral! reader, 600 followers event ficlet
author's note: HI STRAWBERRY ANONNNN !! it's been a pleasure chatting with you so it's also exciting to finally be writing your request woo~ i had a bunch of fun writing this bc. i love writing floyd sm, and i'm real excited to see how you'll enjoy it so i hope you liked it hehe <33
"C'mon Shrimpy~" Floyd giggled softly as he watched the Little Shrimp struggle to catch up to him. He was in his merform, so he had the advantage, but it was fun to see them try nonetheless. "If Shrimpy doesn't speed up, Imma leave you in the dust."
"You said that a million times already, and look at you now," They huffed, though he could see the slightest trace of smile. "You could run laps around me in your merform and yet you're still waiting."
"That's cuz I feel like bein' nice today."
"Uhuh," They finally caught up to him before he flicked his tail, smoothly sailing ahead of them once more. "Shouldn't we go back to the others?"
"The others?"
Oh. Floyd had almost forgotten about them.
They were all initially at the Atlantica Museum but it got boring real quick for Floyd. It was the same as he remembered when he was a little guppy. And it was boring. He needed some real fun so he staged a little Shrimp-napping. Just a little one. He was sure no one would mind if he borrowed the Little Shrimp for a bit, right?
So that's where they were now. He had taken them around the Coral Sea for a bit and now they were making their way towards Floyd's favorite spot.
"It's probably been hours now," They reminded, sighing before attempting to catch up to him again. "You're sure they aren't looking for us?"
"Nope!" Floyd said, his voice clipping at the edges from the clack of his teeth. They always felt longer when he was in his eel form. He gave them a big grin that he hoped was pointy and sharp. "I lefta message for Azul. Don't be such a party pooper, 'm tryna show you something cool here."
"I'm just worried about them," They said, flailing around as they spun in the water. "Azul said that Crow–"
"Meh, I didn't bring ya here to talk about Azul," Floyd frowned, letting his tail curl around their waist. "You're here to be with me."
"And I am here with you," They said, huffing. "Now stop squeezing already, my ribs are starting to hurt." Floyd tittered again at the frowny expression on their face. They were always so cute. He was right to Shrimp-nap them!
"Mm, maybe it'll be faster if I hold you 'n swim," He pulled Shrimpy closer. He could see them starting to protest. "But you said 's been hours! 'M tryna help here, Shrimpy. Plus I'm a big eel, I'll keep ya safe."
They scrunched up their face in contemplation before sighing, "Fine, where do I go?"
Floyd whooped before turning around, "Here, here~ Hold on to my shoulders ti~ght or else you'll be taken by the currents." As soon as their hands gripped at his shoulders, he did an experimental flick of his tail.
He heard the startled yelp they let out, "Wait Flo–"
Floyd made sure to place his hands over theirs before properly propelling himself forward. There was a screech from them, and he felt them squeezing for their life as he sped up even more. It was kinda funny to him, because usually he was the one doing the squeezing, yet look at him now! Being squeezed so nice and tightly. (Not that it hurt at all. He was stronger than them after all.)
When he finally slowed down, he could feel their head curled up right against his shoulder. He just couldn't resist commenting, "Curled up like that you're lookin' like a real Shrimpy now!" And maybe he should've anticipated the smack that was landed on the back of his head, but right now he couldn't even mind about that. He was too amused by their actions to think about being angry in any capacity! That was the magic of the Little Shrimp.
"C'mon, c'mon," Floyd tugged at them so they would be next to him. "The underwater breathing potion's supposed to run out soon, so we're goin' up!"
"Wait what?" They blurted, unable to keep their annoyed composure. "We've been wandering around that long...?"
Floyd chuckled as he brought them closer to the surface, "Shrimpy really has no awareness of their surroundings."
"You wanna talk about having no awareness?" They bumped his elbow with theirs. "I might've drowned if you weren't fast enough."
"But you didn't."
"...But I didn't."
Floyd broke the surface first, feeling the cool night air gently brush against his slick skin. They followed soon after, hair a mess from being underwater.
"What is this place?" They murmured and Floyd simply smiled. He didn't just swim that fast for no reason. The start of winter was when they would be the brightest after all.
"It's bioluminescence. Pretty, right?" Floyd said, letting clawed fingers trace over the glow of the ocean. "Read it in a book once, 'n I've been coming here ever since. Come, there's a lil cave to sit in." He slowly led them towards the cove, the water splashing gently against the sand; the motion causing the algae to flare brighter in pulses.
"This is amazing Floyd," They breathed and Floyd tilted his head.
Was it the lack of light, or did he really want to see the way their eyes sparkled at that moment? No doubt they had that look on their face, the same one they'd get whenever he showed them something particularly cool. It was the whole reason Floyd even bothered to take them around in the first place. He just...he wanted to see that look again. He placed a hand on their chin, tilting their face toward him so he could see.
They blinked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" And maybe if Floyd wasn't so much of a coward— someone who hid behind easy smiles to hide his anxieties— maybe he would've kissed them right then and there.
But he was a coward, and a big one to boot, so he just smiled lackadaisically, "Just got some seaweed on ya, Shrimpy." They puffed out their cheeks and it startled a real laugh out of him as he watched them search their head for the piece of seaweed that wasn't even there in the first place.
"Floyd Leech I swear to the Seven-"
"Eh~ I brought you to my special place 'n you're getting mad at me?" He made a show of pouting, and he saw their expression flicker and- It wasn't long before they mumbled a promise to get him a treat when they got back.
They were so kind to him, the Little Shrimp was. And always so patient. It was something he liked about them. Another being the fact that they could be stern when they wanted to be. The hard stuff could wait. Confessing and kissing and all that, he would do it when he was feeling braver.
For now he sidled up to them, unwinding and coiling his lower body so that the light would continue to envelop them. It was late into the night, but that didn't matter to him. All Floyd wanted was to see that look on their face again. And again and again and again.

The Princess & the Football Player | Chapter 37
Previous chapter | Last chapter
Masterlist
A few years later…
"Good morning, your Royal Highness."
"Good morning, Declan Rice" I say while stretching.
"After today you'll have to stop calling me that."
"Why? It is your name, isn't it?"
"It is. But today is my last game as a professional football player. I won't be Declan Rice anymore. Just Declan" he shrugs.
"You will forever be Declan Rice, West Ham player, England's captain, and World Cup winner" I say while hugging him.
"Yeah" he smiles. "I can't believe I managed to do all that. To follow my dream, fight for it, and actually achieve it."
"Your dreams. In plural."
"Uh?"
"You said you always dreamt about marrying Princess Eleanor, and look where she is. Half naked in your bed" I smirk.
"That's actually true" he says, kissing my cheek. "Though I still haven't married her."
"But now you will be able to. If you want to, of course."
"Eleanor, are you asking me to marry you?" Declan chuckles.
"What? No, no. I'm just saying that maybe you don't want to marry me and have to deal with everything that will come with it."
"Like being king consort one day?"
"For example" I say, playing with a loose thread on the duvet.
"Eleanor… Eleanor, look at me" Declan says, lifting my chin. "I love you. All of you. Titles and everything. If I didn't… If I wasn't sure of what I felt for you and that you are the one, I wouldn't be here, right now, with you. I would have run away a long time ago."
"You actually ran away once. You can do it again."
"Eleanor…" he sighs.
"I'm sorry. But now that you won't be a professional footballer anymore there won't be anything stopping us from taking the next step. And it is a huge one."
"I know."
"People will constantly talk about it, ask us when we are going to do it, ask us to do it."
"And if we cared about what others say, we wouldn't be together" he chuckles.
"I guess. But…"
"I'm ready, Eleanor" Declan says while caressing my cheek. "I'm ready for our future together and what it entails. You supported me and my dream all these years, and now it is my turn to support you."
"Are you sure?"
"100%."
"I love you, Declan Rice."
"And I love you, your Royal Highness."
"Can you show me how much, tho?" I say, stopping him when he is about to kiss me.
"What?"
"I mean, I know you have a game later today and all that, but it is your last and you probably won't be playing the whole thing, you won't be needing the same amount of energy as before. And if you play badly, you'll have an excuse."
"Oh… I see" he smirks.
"What do you say, then? Can you show me how much you love me or since you are retiring you are too old for these things?" I ask with a mischievous smile.
"Old? Old?" he says while moving to be on top of me, making me giggle. "You'll see what this old man can do."
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
"Mason, please be careful! He's your son!" Roberta says.
"I know what I'm doing! " he replies.
"Nine months after the last time you said that Romeo was born."
"Burn!" Declan laughs.
"Meh meh meh" Mason replies, rolling his eyes.
We are the only ones left on the pitch of the London Stadium, Declan and Mason playing football with Romeo, his and Roberta's son.
"Every time they play football he does those tackles and I fear he's gonna hit him. He's just a kid, not one of his rivals! And… Eleanor, are you listening to me?"
"Yeah, yeah" I say.
"Oh my God, Eleanor. Why are you crying again?" Roberta laughs.
"I'm sorry" I chuckle, wiping away a tear. "I thought that after the game and all the tributes I had no tears left behind, but seeing him play with Romeo is so cute... He's gonna be an amazing dad."
"Wait, are you...?"
"What? No, no. I'm just thinking about the future. Now that he has retired we can finally think about marrying, starting a family and all that."
"Are you sure you aren't?"
"I'm sure, Roberta. I always take precautions."
"They sometimes fail. That's how Mason's sister got pregnant with her second."
"I'm not pregnant" I say, whispering that last word. We are alone, but you never know who may show up out of nowhere.
"But you've been feeling so... Emotional lately. Anything and everything makes you cry, and you've never been that sensitive."
"My boyfriend just retired from football and we are about to start a new chapter in our lives. Of course I am more sensitive than usual."
"I know, but… When should you be getting your period?"
"I got it last week, so I definitely am not pregnant."
"Oh, shame… I liked the idea of us being pregnant at the same time" Roberta shrugs.
"Wait what?" I say, raising my voice.
"Everything ok over there?" Mason asks.
"Peachy, love" Roberta smiles.
"What did you mean by being pregnant at the same time?" I ask while walking away from the boys.
"I'm feeling the same I felt when I got pregnant with Romeo, and we stopped taking precautions a couple of months ago."
"Oh... My God! Have you taken a test?"
"No, not yet. Will you take it with me? I am so nervous… I shouldn't because I already went through all this, but…"
"Of course I will. I was there for you the first time, and I will be there for you now."
"Thank you, Ellie. You are the best friend ever" Roberta says while hugging me.
"So are you" I reply. "But now you've made me cry again!"
"I am crying too!"
"Friends that cry together stay together" I chuckle.
"They definitely do."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KUNIKIDA! sorry guys decided to do this instead of what you wre expecting HAHA anyway
my top 5 kunikida cards from mayoi
based on a mix of strength, utility, art, and just vibes
NOTE: this is purely based on what Mayoi has blessed me with. that, unfortunately, does not include the Masquerade and Chinatown ones
WARNING: barely coherent ramblings and lots of simping HAHA
5: [Harvest Moon]
Oh the tears of joy I wept when I finally got this even after the event... how could I not cry? Look at it! Kunikuni with a bunny! AND it's animated! tho ngl not a fan of the animation
Art and concept aside, it's part of the top 5 because it's actually pretty useful. Decent ATK, one-hit-kill + azure orbs to omni, not to mention its leader skill reduces turns for active skill? Pretty good!
4: [Doppo Poet]
A classic. His first SSR. But it really is good and I do use him a lot because of how strong his active skill is. 100% ATK and 100% marble force increase, and best part is it lasts for 3 turns! Not one I'd put as the leader definitely, but it's a great support for the rest of the team.
3: [Rainy Season]
The first smiley Kuni card I have would be the [Resplendent Banquet] - and imo it's STILL the cutest sprite and skill animation - but aside smile I have to give it to [Rainy Season] for giving us a beautiful, colorful, and amazing leader of a card. I ADORE the skill animation as well, but this card isn't ranked higher because the active skill isn't that great.
2: [Year of the Tiger]
I'm a big fan of the traditional stuff - better if it's got the traditional vibes like this one! The washed out colors, the composition of the main art, and just the overall concept is definitely in my taste. Another smiley Kuni (ofc) but more subtle and more of a proud type. I just LOVE this card because it has a great leader AND active skill. It's just not higher because I'm biased towards...
1: [Joyous Night]
This is my second SSR Kuni ever and it's still my favorite to this day. I gave nearly all my moons then JUST for the art (card change one) because LOOK. He's SMILING. He's HAPPY. He's got his HANDS in his POCKETS. He's HOT in his SUIT-
No but seriously as a concept plus the colors and composition of the main artwork AND the cute contented sprite - I just HAD to get it. Thank you Mayoi for blessing me with this AGH
The reason why it's also one of my all-time favs is because of its active skill. I'm biased towards high ATK (150%) increase + something else, and that something else just happens to be "piercing marble" effect which is super useful. You could finish two waves in just two turns with this one.
HONORABLE MENTIONS: FAV SRs
3: Fish- I mean [Vivid Color]
It's a strong SR. The leader skill isn't great BUT paired with other SRs its active skill is actually pretty decent. Also, fish.
2: Azure Ki- I mean [Tarot]
Honestly, the only reason why this ranks higher than Vivid Color is because the art is *chef's kiss* HAHA The active skill is meh but at least the leader skill is good!
1: Fish again- I mean [Enjoying Nature]
Great leader skill. Decent active skill. Man's about to enjoy his favorite hobby. Need I say more?
---
AAAAND that's it! My mini-Kuni tribute for today. Just looking for an excuse to gush about him and the amazing art dedicated to him... ugh I love him sm GIVE HIM MORE CARDS, BSD MAYOI!

Blizzcon 2023 Omg...
First of all here's the video I watched if you want to go watch it yourself, but I'm just gonna outline what I think are the highlights in this post!
youtube
First of all, Blizzard actually serving this Blizzcon like?? Woah there, slow down, are you sure you actually want to deliver what the fanbase wants... you've never done that before but slay.
And secondly, I'm late to this cos your girl put off working on a brief deadline for her degree until the last few days and had to draw like a mad woman. So excuse my late reactions to everything haha
ANYWAYS
THE COMP CHANGES?? LIKE SLAY OMG
Let's be honest, even Blizzard knew the 5 - 15 bracket was shit, and now they're finally getting rid of it, and replacing it with this ->
Like are we actually getting ranked on what we do in the match or is this some kind of amazing dream?
As a hard stuck gold/plat support main with an average of 20k heals a match, this is like some kind of blessing from God.
Plus not to mention the rank reset?? Last time I rank reset, aka made a smurf account that I never used, it was two ranks above my main. I'm going to cry literal tears of joy.
Plus, we're getting these bad boys back ->
She looks a little different but it's ok, we still accept her as the placement matches we know and love.
(I am very sassy today apologies, I have borderline carpool tunnel in my main hand and a backache to slay all backaches so I'm feeling slightly unhinged.)
Then they're also tidying up the competitive challenges tab? Like actually slay!
Like look how clean and sexy she looks like omg. Can't wait to actually understand all that information now that it's feasible to read haha
I'm not as hype about these but they still deserve mentioning ->
Tree guns! Oh wait, I mean Emerald guns. Mb. I think they're just like... meh. Like me and my duo have had long and detailed discussions on how we would improve gold guns. We eventually settled on them progressing in rarity and price. We suggested a gun started at bronze and worked it's way up the ranks like you do in competitive, and each rank would be a thousand more expensive. So obviously Bronze for Bronze, Silver for Silver, Gold for Gold, Platinum with like a purple sheen for Platinum, Diamond with a white and blue reflection for Diamond, then either Ruby or Sapphire for Masters and Grand Masters.
If you hadn't figured it out by my grumbling already in this post, but I'm a digital art student in uni, literally studying concept art, and by gods would my lecturers turn their noses up at the green they chose for this promotional ss.
Personally, I would saturate the colour more, it's much too dark. Sure, up close you can see the colour well, but realistically you want to be able to see the colour in game as well, and the green here is much too dark. I would saturate the colour more, but not too much. There's a thin line between it being a distraction or a flex. Next thing I would do is give it a darker sheen so when it catches certain lights it has a muted sparkle. I say darker so that it doesn't cross the distraction line again, because a lighter sheen would defiantly distract a player.
ANYWAY those are just my thoughts on it as someone studying this stuff at uni :)
I'm not a professional and will never be cos I'm never touching the art industry after this course again lol
Next I just wanna briefly look at the two heroes other than Mauga we got a look at.
Which are obviously Venture ->
Who's a dps who digs underneath the ground and launches out to deal dmg to the enemies.
Personally, I think it's a really innovative idea, and a really nice idea lore wise, but realistically I don't think this is going to play well, and I'm sure we're going to see lots of changes to him before and after he's released.
Also that concept art is just chefs kiss. It's so beautiful, with such clean lines and such an understandable concept. The facial expression is so cute and clean as well, and I already love them just from what I can see.
Oh, they are a they/them as well, so they're slaying.
Then there's 'Space Ranger', which is only a code name, and all we can call her so far ->
Again the beautiful concept art is literally making my drool, the lines are clean, it's understandable, conveys exactly what the artist wants.
I also love the unique UI of having the two guns above. It's also really thrilling to get more of a design perspective, for me at least. Even if I'm not going into the art industry (I'm taking a course to become a teacher after I gradate next year) it's still really exciting to be able to see the processes of it all. Now I can't help but imagine what the rest of the heroes concept art looked like when drawn onto the ss like the image above.
She's also a support by the way, so we support mains are being FED.
Next on my little list that I have here, is the hero mastery updates. Which are all for next year, so 2024.
The first point was that we'd be getting D.va, Lucio, Genji, Echo and Mei maps to master. I've 5 stared all the Mercy courses cos she's one of my mains, and my other is D.va sooooo can't wait to spend 20 hours on that haha.
They've also realised that it being solo can be a bit of an obstacle for groups, so they're adding a tower defence 3v3 vs bots mode. Every season the heroes on the roster for the mode will cycle out, as will the special rewards for completing the game mode every season. Basically, they're trying to make it as replayable every season as possible. Even with the heroes and reward cycles, I still have a sneaking suspicion this is going to end up slightly monotonous.
Here's a ss of the tower defence ->
It's not very clear and that's mb, I forgot to ss until too late lol.
Finally, the last big thing that they discussed was the new game mode 'Clash', plus the re-work of the Hanamura 2cp map for this game mode.
They basically described clash as 5cp, and even with this image it took me a while to get my head around it. Disclaimer, I am dyslexic though lol, so you'll probably get it faster than me.
Basically, (from what I understood from the dev's explanation) all five points will be lined up in a row on the map. When the game starts, team blue will posses 2 points and so will team red. Only point C will be available to cap, and it's a race to see who can claim the point first. Whoever claims the point will then push the enemy teams spawn room back a point, and the next point to claim will be either one to the right/left from the middle. The game ends when one team holds on the points, or the time runs out and whoever holds the most points win. The co-streamer I was watching alongside it said it resembled a tft game mode, but since I've never played tft I can't vouch for that.
I actually really like this idea, and it actually does remind me of 2cp quite a lot. It has a very nostalgic OW feeling just to the description.
Moving on, we have the Hanamura re-work, which is last, but not least.
They've adjusted the map in a way that supposedly makes it feel organic and not just a re-work of Hanamura itself. Basically, they've expanded off the main map, left some noticeable features and vibes to the map, and dropped the previous map into the background. It's a very smart way to evolve a map in all honesty.
This map has been designed specifically for Clash and will be called Hanaoko (sorry if I'm butchering that, they didn't write it down anywhere and only said the name).
Normally, I won't be too bothered to write so much about a new map, but bro this is Hanamura! I adore Hanumura, so, so, so much! I miss 2cp and all those maps so badly. It's nice to see them evolving the concept to incorporate those nostalgic elements for OW1 players.
What also interested me was that they talked more about the Hanamura lore. Naturally, there's a lot of it. With the Shimada brothers, the Hashimoto Shimada fight for dominance, and Kiriko with her Yokai gang. They specifically mentioned more lore for those three groups which got my very excited. They also mentioned, and I feel stupid for not noticing this cos it's obvious once it's pointed out), but all the dragons and tigers on the map are symbolic. They represent the struggle between the Shimada (dragons) and Hashimoto (tigers) clans when they're fighting. Like in this photo ->
So, it's official, we are being well and truly fed this Blizzcon. I can't wait for ranked to actually feel rewarding again.
Here's a random Tracer play from OW1 to finish of the post :)

SR Ruggie Bucchi Port Wear Personal Story: Part 2
"Look over here!"
(Part 1) Part 2
[Crane Port – Whistle Park]
Ruggie: Here ya go, one plain waffle! Thank you very much!
Ruggie: Shishishi… Everything's sellin' like hotcakes, huh, Cater-san?
Cater: Yeah, yeah!
Ruggie: Let's keep the pace up and keep sellin'!
Cater: But still… I didn't think that those kids' mother would show up to the lost children center at the same time as us.
Ruggie: Yeah, we were lucky. If we had to leave them there like that, we woulda had to deal with explaining where we picked them up, too…
Ruggie: Glad we were able to get the kiddos to their mom and get back to work as soon as we could.
Cater: Ahaha, yeah.
Cater: But man, Ruggie-kun, you were amazing～ You soothed those kids really easily.
Cater: It's really not enough to just try to speak kindly to them, huh. Guess I learned something there.
Ruggie: Meh, I'm just used to dealing with kids.
Ruggie: Back home, there's a ton of kids just runnin' around; from those just learning to walk, to ones about my age.
Cater: Oh, really?
Ruggie: Most of 'em don't really have relatives, so… I took care of 'em and at the same time had 'em help me with my various jobs.
Cater: So, that's why～ I was a little surprised at first when you didn't coddle them just because they were kids.
Ruggie: I mean, I don't think your reaction was bad, or nothin'. If anythin' I'm sure that's how people would usually respond…
Ruggie: It just happened that this time, we called out to 'em, but y'can't assume that there'll always be people around to help.
Ruggie: In the end, if you're in a bind, the only one you can count on is yourself. Y'gotta help them learn how to solve their own problems.
Ruggie: …Where I come from, a kid who's just cryin' and whinin' won't survive one bit!
Cater: Wow, okay. Looks like I got to see a bit of Ruggie-kun's more caring side today～
Ruggie: Shishishi… It's not really anythin' worth praising me for.
Cater: C'mon～ Don't be so modest. …Oh, hey, wait, is that...?
Children: Hey, look, I found them――!
Cater: Ah! It's the lost children and their mom!
Mother: Thank you so very much for earlier. I've brought you snacks as thanks, so please take them!
Ruggie: Thanks a bunch! I'll totally take these!
Child A: Mama―! I wanna eat one of their waffles!
Mother: Good idea, I think I want one as well. Can we have three waffles with the toppings you'd recommend?
Ruggie: Coming up! Then let me get you a plain one…
Cater: C'mon, no, we gotta make it look cute and poppin' here! Leave it to Cay-kun ☆
Child B: Wow, it's so colorful and cute!
Child A: It looks so good!
Mother: I am really thankful for everything. We'll be on our way now.
Ruggie: Okay! Those are fresh and hot, so be care when you eat them!
Cater: Thank you very much～!
Cater: …Huh.
Cater: Hey, now that I think about it, how did that mom know that we would be at this food stand?
Ruggie: Oh. Right before we left the kids with her earlier, I gave them one of the Group B flyers.
Cater: Eh～! I didn't even notice!
Cater: Wait a moment, Ruggie-kun… Did you help those kids just to get a reward!!?
Ruggie: Well, duh.
Ruggie: We sold some waffles, and got snacks out of it… It's always good to help people, ain't it? Shishishi!
Cater: So what you said earlier, that it's "not really anything worth praising you for," that really wasn't you being modest, huh...
Ruggie: Alllright, we're gonna keep on sellin'! Gotta take advantage of bein' here for Port Fest, after all!!

Eurovision 2024 first impressions
Wasn't sure what to listen to at work, and then I remembered that all the Eurovision songs have now been released! So I thought I'd give 'em a listen.
Until today, I'd heard small clips of the songs in Youtube top 36 lists. That was it.
Caveat 1: I've paid zero attention to any of the national finals, so I'm blissfully ignorant of 90% of whatever drama happened in those.
Caveat 2: Everything below is the personal subjective opinion of me, a knobhead on Tumblr. You will probably disagree with a lot of it and that's fine.
Caveat 3: "Why are you not boycotting when Israel are-" Yes, I know. I do follow the news. I'm not going to go into why I'm not boycotting because that's not what this post is for, but I promise I have thought about it and can explain my reasons.
So, with that out of the way:
Croatia: Strong start! I really like this, and get why it's one of the favourites! I might be on Team Croatia this year- I'd love the winner to be someone who hasn't won before, or hasn't won for decades!
Netherlands: It's... alright, I guess? But I'm not sure it's as funny as it thinks it is, and might get a bit old fairly quickly.
Switzerland: This is interesting, and a nice break from their pattern of the past few years. I'll be happy if this does well :)
Italy: I like this better than I thought I would, based on the little clips I've seen. Still a bit confused about why it seems to be topping literally all the Youtube rankings, though.
Austria: Meh
Sweden: This is the ONE song I couldn't make it all the way through. I, yeah, sorry, I hate it. Sounds AI generated. Sweden, please, you have good music, I know you do, I've heard it, you don't need to send this kind of crap every other year, please!
Ukraine: Ukraine my beloved, always understanding the assignment <3
Greece: Way more interesting than the clip I'd heard previously made it sound!
Germany: This is exactly what I was afraid would happen if LotL didn't do well. I'm getting flashbacks to Michael Rice and his 2019 last place.
Belgium: Meh
Cyprus: Extremely Meh. This is like a composite of every bland, inoffensive, radio 1 song ever.
France: It's a nice ballad. 'For the Mum's, I think is the phrase. S'fine.
UK: Apparently 'obnoxious ear worms' is my country's new schtick. Although like Italy, I do like this a bit more than I thought I would. Also starting to notice a lot of the songs sounding a bit 80's-lite?
Georgia: S'fine, I guess. 50/50 as to whether it breaks their NQ streak.
Malta: Wow, there are a lot of trendy girl pop songs that I have absolutely no feelings about this year.
Armenia: This is enjoyable and I respect it.
Azerbaijan: Another Whelming-to-decent one, but I do like that they're singing in their own language for the first time!
Albania: Snore
Australia: I get what they were going for, but I find this a bit cheesy.
Ireland: Look at Ireland taking a risk! I so, so, hope this works out for them and breaks their NQ streak! I am slightly concerned, just because this is the kind of experimental that can be difficult to translate to a three minute stage performance, but if they give it the creativity it needs it could be their best entry in years!
Lithuania: A nice little catchy thing. Quite like it.
Denmark: Oof, Denmark really are in their wilderness years, aren't they? Look, this isn't bad, but there are a lot of songs that sound similar to this, and this has 'lost in the shuffle' written all over it.
Poland: There's nothing about this that makes it stand out from all the other trendy-girl-pop-songs objectively, but I do have a soft spot for this one.
Spain: This is really cute! I think I've found my favourite Big 5 :)
Czechia: Oh look, we have some pop-punk this year. Cool.
Serbia: I'm... not feeling much for this *now*, but I think it might grow on me once I've heard it a few times.
Finland: I am CACKLING
Portugal: I'm a bit undecided about this, tbh. Might have to see how it is live.
Norway: I knew I'd quite like this, and I do! I feel like the live performance is really going to make or break it though.
Luxembourg: So I've heard this song is *also* Israeli propaganda, and if that's true, a) that sucks, because Luxembourg, mate, this is your re-entry, you didn't want this, and b) it's disconcertingly cheerful.
Estonia: Whatever this is, it has no business going this hard.
San Marino: Another pop-punk. I'm a bit more intrigued by this one than the Czech one. I can't see it doing amazingly, but if the performance is good it could get San Marino a rare Q.
Slovenia: It's OK. Seemed like it was going somewhere and then... didn't.
Israel: Was debating whether to ignore this (and sit there wondering about it), or give in and listen to it once so I could stop caring. Went for the latter. You'll be relieved to know it's bland as shit. The inevitable background booing might even be an improvement.
Iceland: I didn't get Hera Bjork in 2010 and I don't get her now.
Latvia: I really want Latvia to break their NQ streak, especially with how they were basically robbed by the semi draw last year, but this just... needs to be more than it is. A really good live performance could save it, maybe? I don't know. I wanted to like this but I'm not hopeful.
Moldova: Slovenia Two. Another one that was sort of going somewhere for a minute, and then stopped.
In conclusion:
So much Eurodance
So much 80's
Loooads of really similar songs. More than usual. Some of them are inevitably going to cancel each other out.
The "everyone follows the runner ups of the previous year" trend seems to be holding, with lots of similar-vein-as-Noa-Kirels, and a few similar-vein-as-Kaarijas.
This is definitely a year that's less my cup of tea. That's OK. I was spoilt last year. And there are still some solid entries.

darius martin x female reader. darius proposing to his gf with the help of secret santa 🥺
This is such a cute idea. I hope you like it!
Darius's POV
Today is the day I am finally going to ask Y/N to marry me, but I knew it needed to be special. So I suggested that we do Secret Santa in order for me to catch her off guard. We have been together for 3 years and, although, we are still young and figuring out the real world, I want to make sure she and I figure it all out together. I had been getting questioned left and right backstage from the other wrestlers asking if it was going to happen soon. Allie, aka The Bunny, had been extremely interested as of late since Y/N had started to train with her more often.
About a week ago
"Darius, my friend, how is Christmas shopping for Y/N going?"
I shrugged my shoulders with a small smirk. "Pretty good. I think she will like what I have for her."
Allie stared waryingly at me for a second before whispering to me. "You should probably know, I got her for Secret Santa. Your gift better outshine mine."
I chuckled lightly before an idea popped up in my head, and I took Allie out of earshot to ask for her help, which she giddily jumped around about before agreeing to it.
Back to the present day
I smiled as I watched Y/N get all dressed up for the Secret Santa party. She had a cute Christmas dress with some heels laid out on the bed as she finished up her hair and makeup. I walked into the bathroom and wrapped my arms around her waist as I set my chin on her right shoulder. "There's my babygirl. I missed you this morning. Training again?"
She smiled as I left a couple light kisses on her neck and shoulder. "Yep. Allie insisted on training and then shopping for an outfit for tonight."
I tried my best to hide my smirk as this means Allie already has the plan working. "Well. I'm glad you are home now, and we get to go hang out with our friends for a bit. But trust me, baby, later you are all mine." I gave her ass a quick squeeze as I left her to finish getting ready and went downstairs to text Allie.
Thanks for getting her an outfit today. She is so psyched to go to the party.
You're welcome, lover boy, but you better not drop the ball tonight.
You have the ring in her present correct? I don't want anything to go wrong.
Yes. It is in its own box that she will open last.
Perfect. Thank you again. I can't imagine how I would have done this without your help.
Yeah,yeah,yeah, just get Cinderella to the ball on time, Prince Charming.
👍🏼
Y/N's POV
As I put the finishing touches on my hair and makeup, I smile, thinking about how Darius is going to react to my new outfit once I have it on. It's a bit more revealing than I would normally go for considering it is a company party, but it's definitely going to boost my confidence once I put it on. I have Hook for Secret Santa, so the present was pretty easy as I just got some chips and gift cards for camera equipment. I wasn't sure who had me, though, so tonight could be really great or kinda meh depending on how presents go. I know Darius has Anthony Bowens, and he is really excited to see his face when he opens up his present as they are pretty close.
I get dressed and grab my gift for Hook from the closet before heading out to the living room to find Darius in a nice red button-down with black jeans. We both cooed at each other, taking in each other's appearances. "Who is she? The goddess of Christmas, perhaps?"
I laugh as Darius takes my hand and twirls me around slowly. He gently pulls me into his arms, and I smile before kissing him briefly. "Let's get on the road, my big strong Nutcracker."
We laughed and made small talk as we drove to the party, and I could sense he was getting more nervous as we got closer. I put my hand on his thigh and gently squeezed it. "Bowens is going to love your gift. Just relax and have a good time, babe."
Darius smiles and pecks my lips after parking the car. He runs around to open the door for me, and I shake my head at him. "Let's get this party started, m'lady!"
We walk inside and talk to our friends, occasionally splitting up, but overall sitting together and eating yummy treats as everybody settles in. We start the Secret Santa gift exchange, and everybody is loving their gifts so far. I deliver my gift to Hook, who smiles and hugs me when he sees the gift card for camera equipment. "Maybe we can have a photoshoot someday soon with the lads and some of your friends as well."
I nod and happily walk back to my spot and watch as the others trade gifts. Darius gets up and hands Bowens his gift, which soon leads to a full bro hug session before he returns to my side. He still seems a bit antsy, but I try to ignore it, thinking maybe he is just nervous about what he might get. Allie stands up and walks over to me, and I squeal lightly as I start to open the gift. She had it wrapped very neatly in a box with another smaller box in the corner. I opened it up to find a scarf I had been eyeing on our shopping trip along with some homemade coupons for girls' spa days with her.
"Oh, Allie! That is so sweet. Thank you so much!"
Allie smiled. "I knew you weren't going to buy that scarf for yourself, and I know you are going to need a spa day for the last little gift there."
I felt Darius move next to me as I opened the last box and found a ring box inside it. I froze momentarily as Allie took the rest of the box off my lap, leaving me to turn to see Darius down on one knee. My fingers struggled to stay still, so he took the box and held it up to me.
"Y/N. You are my person. You are my world. Every day, when I wake up and see you sleeping next to me, I ask myself how I got so lucky. You are my best friend, and although we are still trying to navigate adulthood, you are the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and become my wife?"
I nodded frantically and squeaked out a yes before he slid the ring on my finger and pulled me into a time stopping kiss. It felt like we were the only two people in the world as we kissed and embraced each other, taking in the feeling of being fiancées. Once we pulled away, I turned back to Allie and squealed, hugging her. Everybody congratulated us, and we didn't leave each other's sides for a good 15 minutes before realizing we never finished Secret Santa.
"Wait, hold up, who is left to do Secret Santa?"
We saw Hook stand up with his camera in hand and a small bag at his side as he walked over to Darius. Once he handed him the bag, we smiled, seeing a few inside joke gifts alongside a slip of paper that read "Engagement pictures session voucher with Hook. Just tell me when and where."
The two of us got a bit teary-eyed as we realized he knew the whole time. Darius was stuttering, trying to think of something to say when Hook put his hand on his shoulder. "Did you really think I couldn't tell when my best friend was going to pop the question? I'll let you see the pictures I got from today in a couple of days after I retouch them, and then we can talk about the photoshoot."
We both pull him into a hug and thank him for taking pictures, trying to get a sneak peek. He smirks and walks away to go get some chips. "So that is officially everyone done for Secret Santa now, right?"
Everybody nods, and Darius puts his arm around me before grabbing his glass as Dante stands to make a toast. "To the holiday season, friends and family including my soon to be sister in law and pain in the ass brother."
I laugh as Darius shakes his head, and we all clink our glasses and cheers to the season and our new journey as fiancées. For the rest of the night, Darius and I are basically attached at the hip and steal kisses from one another whenever we can. The party starts to wind down, and we head out to the car before driving home holding hands.
Once we get inside, it only takes a couple of seconds for Darius to scoop me up and carry me to our bedroom before dropping me on the bed. He lays next to me, and we both simply admire the new bling on my finger for a couple minutes just letting it sink in. Darius smirks before kissing my fingers one by one and slowly working his way up my arm. "I told you tonight you would be all mine."

More Girls on the Bus thoughts from 1x03 under the cut (this is very similar to my twitter thread if you already saw that, though this is a little longer):
I feel ROBBED that we didn't get more of this scene. Sadie eats half of a THC chocolate bar, and all we see is her talking to Hunter S. Thompson and being a bit dizzy?
I really wasn't expecting her to go out in public again - and when she did, I thought something hilarious was going to happen. Or she'd end up in her hotel room lying down on the floor handing on for dear life. Really wanted more in this scene!
THIS SHIP IS EVERYTHING!!! I love Lola and Josie 😭 They have decent chemistry, and I really just love seeing butches on TV, since it feels relatively rare to see that aspect of myself represented.
Really hoping Josie sticks around!
I love how Lola genuinely doesn't think helping Sadie is a big deal. They're competitors! In a very cutthroat field! But they're also forming this friendship - Sadie was helping Lola with terminology earlier - and Lola is happy for this sort of mutual help.
Women helping women 💪
Scott Foley had to have had a blast filming this 🤣
Sadie better not fucking sleep with him.
PLEASE SADIE.
PLEASE.
I know I know, we're all Sadie/Saskia shippers at heart now.
But Sadie/Malcolm is really growing on me! I wasn't sure how I felt about Malcolm in the first two episodes, but their chemistry is really cute, and I'm getting the same sort of vibes I got from Meredith/Derek back in my Grey's Anatomy days.
It feels almost like a modernized take on that (I already commented before that Sadie herself feels like "Kara if she were on Grey's Anatomy", so I guess I'm going with that). Like, Grey's Anatomy wouldn't work today - Derek's persistent pursuit would be (rightfully) considered sexual harassment rather than cute - but this specific vibe of "we slept together, we shouldn't have, but we didn't know it at the time, but we still want to" feels like a successor of that dynamic to me.
Given that Sadie doesn't seem like the type for a committed relationship, I'm not sure where this is going to go, guess we'll see!
DAMN YOU AND YOUR CLIFFHANGERS 😭
I'm not feeling great about Grace's plot and I'm feeling sort of meh about Kimberlyn's plot, so I haven't really talked about them here. Otherwise, though, I'm very much enjoying this show ❤️
Looking forward to learning exactly why all of them end up arrested!

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)
Chapter Twelve
Warning: god stuff and cute stuff
A/N: i got feelings for this gif dont look at me
Chapter Eleven | Chapter Thirteen
Marc is a quiet person and very intense. Steven is talkative and full of information. Jake is charming and blends well anywhere he goes. Marc is very estranged. You guess it makes sense given he has a mental condition where he dissociates himself so much another is used to take over a situation; or at least that's how you understand it? Still learning.
Steven did not push the idea of you having to be romantic with his brothers (you like how they are brothers, it's sweet), he only asks you to try to be patient with them.
Jake rarely comes out and when he does, Jake is busy with his cab driving job. He has talked to you a few times, flirting and teasing you for how most of it goes over your head. You can fingers guns your way into Steven's heart but you don't understand when someone is making moves on you.
Marc is different. Marc and Steven have a schedule of who fronts when. When Steven was on "holiday" it was truthfully Marc's turn to front. You are the talkative one with Marc, (with Steven he learned he can be talkative with you) and he appreciates it. The silence broken by an odd joke referencing something or a random fact you learned.
In the Spring you met Steven the bus rider. Late Spring, you start dating and meet Jake the scary tío cab driver. In the Summer, Marc Spector. Midsummer, Steven opens up to you. It is Fall now, a new semester will start and you are getting close (you hope) to the others who share the body of a man you have come to care for.
Today he seems to be trying to engage with you.
You stare at your painting of the diner from last week. "(Name)."
"Huh? Or right! Yeah this neon palette is nice but most people use it on scenes like this." Explaining to Marc why you chose pastel rather than neon colors for lights. Your hands are covered with pastel oils.
It was Marc who asked to see your art piece you complained about over text while Steven was away on "holiday". You gave up on it until Marc saw it in your closet hidden away under a cloth sheet.
He only looked in there to help you find your phone (still missing). You prepped it up showing him the unfinished now closer to finished piece.
"It's easy on the eyes…" Marc is not an artist.
"I'm glad!" You just like pretty colors.
He stands behind you moving close, his weight slightly heavy on your back; you instinctively want to lean towards him. Steven's scent lurks as if reminding you of how much you love the man– Alter? Person?. "This one." His finger pointing to the old woman in the background, "Why so much detail if she isn't in the forefront?" You have to stop your brain from thinking about kissing Steven to remember why you did that!
Oh, man you got it bad.
"Because everyone in this scene has their own story, thus their own importance."
"Ah." You can't help but appreciate him trying to be involved. "I can see why Steven likes you."
It's nice to know he likes you too.
"Do you like me?"
You aren't expecting him to kiss, kiss, fall in love with you! You hope however he likes you as a friend.
"Hm, you're alright."
You groan rolling your eyes at how that sounds like your dad's way of saying he loves you too. "You're meh."
He is laughing, amused at the way you shrugged and pretend to be unbothered.
Your phone is going off on vibrate mode on the couch as you start listing what is "meh" to you about him. "Got this Bats' brooding face like grr." Mimicking his face. The playful nature you have is the first thing Steven loves about you. Next is how hyper you always seem to be like an energizer bunny. Talkative, where Steven is expert on Egyptology you are a jack of all random information.
"I act nothing like that." Marc rolls his eyes as you pretend to be him.
"I act nothing like that." Dropping your voice to horribly match his.
The second time your phone goes off you are pretending to be Marc Spector, grumpiest of the grumps.
The third time, he and you are having a conversation about family. You feel terrible for Marc, Steven let you in at a point about the trauma but to hear it from the man who was abused. "Why do I feel safe around you?" Marc is staring at you with hardened dark brown eyes.
The fifth ring, you were busy having a tongue in your mouth and hands on your hips. Both breathing hard and covered with oil pastel.
"Shit," There is blue and pink all over his shirt, "No wonder why Steven finds this hot." Your handprint is all over his shirt.
"There's edible paint– Oh– I can ah get next time." Neither of you will go too far but you know there are going to be hickeys all over your neck. Marc is going to have to live with a ruined shirt.
Meanwhile…
Shai provides a scroll of a new report on ever shifting fates. Anubis nearly ignored it but knew than to ignore a report of changes fates and new destinies to be written. After losing your dad, a good man, by the hands of those foolish followers of a fake Ammit; Anubis had returned to the underworld to speak with Shai. Many of the Gods once in slumber by choice have awoken, Harrow's betrayal and the damaging of the Gathering Place Of The Gods, most returned to slumber while others retook avatars to explore this new world.
Anubis does not like it. Too cynical, too lost, too materialistic. There is no sense of life in this world.
Not to mention the avatars these days are nothing like the quality they were before… Mortals who can peer into the realm of the Divine.
The gift to see the Gods is rare and during the time the Gods stood proudly and with a plethora of worshippers at their disposal, those with sight like yours are made avatars. As the age of Gods began its decline as war and conquest, Christianity and Atheism, expansion of technology; those with the ability to naturally see the Gods were sparse.
Anubis would have wanted to claim you as an avatar, but you were young and inexperienced. Your heart is unbalanced with rage inside. He saw it, so much weighing it down. Such hearts are common in this world.
Nothing that once held importance holds no importance, mortals live as if their lives are temporary and have no value.
Explains the heroes they have in this age.
The Heroes of this world are not of the same caliber nor mortal standing as those long ago.
Those like Punisher are quickly called heroes, to Anubis they are no better than Khonshu. Khonshu and his crusade of taking Vengeance, using a broken man's mind.
Moon Knight, once were avatars who were feared and respected. Khonshu once had honor and respect. The banishment changed the God who was forced to live on the cold and distant moon; forced to only observe, never to interact with the mortals he swore to protect.
Reading the hieroglyphics of Shai's report, Anubis doesn't like this. He already caused you to suffer twice by causing your parents to die, the symbol of the scales are forever tainted by Ammit.
"Is there another path available?"
Shai says nothing as they point to sand around them shifting yet the pattern before them stays the same.
"This fate can no longer be delayed then. Thank you for your service, Shai."
Returning from the Underworld, his avatar stares lifelessly at the wall. Long ago, Set had put Anubis' avatar into a lobotomized state. The price of challenging a God of his strength, as he put it. Anubis can use the body for life still flows through it, yet the avatar's mind is lost to him completely.
The point of an avatar is only for them to be an extension of their God but to give insight to their God. Set has blocked such a path for Anubis.
Once the god of Chaos is sealed away, Anubis will free the avatar of their service and fleshly prison, their heart weighed and soul sent to the field of Reeds.
Entering the mortal realm, Anubis immediately starts calling you from your father's phone. He took it before the police came and found his body. Five times he called and all went to voicemail. He sent a text doing his best to not cause panic but inform you to meet him at the diner immediately. All while sounding like your father.
The Underworld God can only hope they haven't gotten to you yet. The corruption of Set's influence using Ammit's image runs deep, those who were not in Cairo still hold strong to the belief she lives.

Emerald (ErenxReader)
Chapter 2 - Attitude
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's note: 15.000+ characters
Chapter contains swearing, drinking alcholol, mentoning drug use etc
Enjoy~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After only two and a half hours of sleep you wished to be dead, when the alarm started to scream into your face. You needed at least 6-7 hours of sleep to be able to function like a normal human being. But last night went way too long, you regretted the fact that you wanted to be nice to Eren.
-He didn't even deserve it -you cussed in the bathroom, brushing your teeth with eyes closed- I'm so gonna be fucked up today.
Walking back and forth in the room, you had no idea what to wear. Didn't feel the energy to dress nice, but it was only your second day, so even if the office didn't have a dress code you weren't confident enough to show up in yoga pants and hoodies. Finally you put on a black tight skirt with buttons all along on the side, a light baby blue shirt and a black blazer. Forming a lazy, messy bun at the top of your head and slipping into some heels ready to leave and face reality. You still needed the job, because you didn't turn out to be super rich during your sleep session.
You were already on the way to the car, when you remembered, you forgot the mug. Some cursing, eye rolling and wishing everyone to fuck themselves you stomped back and grabbed a beige mug from the kitchen, which had Goku on it. It was your favorite mug ever, so you felt maybe it could help you through the day.
-Morning -you mumbled under your nose, feeling the huge bags under your eyes.
-Goooood morning, honey! -Sasha jumped up from her desk, heading to you immediately -Uhh, girl what's wrong? -she widened her eyes, when she noticed how terrible you looked.
-Lack of sleep, I suppose -you sighed irritated.
-We didn't even leave that late last night -she raised one of her eyebrows -Come, let's drink a coffee!
-You didn't, but I arrived home around 4:30am -you yawned big- That coffee sounds so tempting -you searched for your mug in your bag.
-Huh? Why? What did you do? -she asked confused on the way to the kitchen.
-Eren asked me to drop him out in a hotel, then invited me for a drink. We talked and it was somehow fucking early in the morning. I'm going to die today! -you whined.
-Eren did what? He never asks any of us to...
-I don't know Sasha, I just didn't want to be a rude ass...but maybe I should have, because now I'm literally dying.
Taking sips from the hot coffee on the way back to your desk you zoned out a bit, dreaming of your comfy bed, how the bed sheets feel so soft and cozy. The thought of it almost made you cry.
-Today is the same as yesterday? -you asked Sasha, grabbing your notebook and pencil and was about to leave to her table.
-Nope, sweety. You will need to sit with Eren, he's gonna show you the exact job you will be going to do here.
-Nah, please nooo -you started fake crying.
-Good luck -she laughed out loud, because she exactly knew it was going to be a tough task not to punch Eren in the face in the condition you were in at the moment.
You took a deep, huge breath and as letting the air slowly out you grabbed your stuff, heading to his desk.
-Morning -you mumbled-Sasha said today I need to learn from you.
-Morning grumpy -he giggled- Yeah, grab a chair -he pointed behind his back.
-It's all your fault -you yawned, grabbing a chair and throwing yourself lazily.
-Yep, I know -he clicked his tongue- I'm tired too, just to let you know.
-Bu-hu, poor you -you rolled your eyes.
-Fuck, you are really an ass, when you are tired -he laughed out loud.
-Meh, shut up and show me this shit...please -you faked a cute smile.
Eren didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, smiling at your attitude.
His low, throaty voice sounded so calming, ringing you almost to sleep. And even if you should have focused on him telling and showing you your tasks you felt slowly falling asleep.
-HEY! -he poked you with his elbow- Wake up...Jesus -he rolled his eyes annoyed.
-What? -you woke up immediately, not knowing what happened- Oh my God -you started to laugh- I'm so sorry.
-Focus...please -he clenched his jaw- I'm not gonna finish my work, because I have to babysit you, so you better start to listen.
-Wow! -you pulled a face- No need to be a dickhead -you crossed your hands before your chest. And it was your fault again...your voice is just too calming and I fell asleep listening to you -you rolled your eyes offended.
-How old are you? 10? -he hissed.
-Oh, fuck you Jaeger -you snaped back- I don't want to sit here as much as you don't want me to be here next to you! I cannot help it. I can ask Reiner, he might be a bit nicer than you...asshole.
-Drop the attitude woman -he said with a cold tone.
-You mean the attitude you are giving me now? -you raised one of your eyebrows. You really wanted to punch him in the face.
He was about to tell you some not too nice things, when Levi's door shot open and he rushed towards you two.
-JAEGER! -he screamed from the bottom of his lungs. Shit, he was truly scary as Sasha mentioned you yesterday.
-Yes, boss? -he looked at the pissed off man.
-I just got a fucking angry call from a freaking client. Where's this truck? -he slammed a piece of paper at the desk, making it shiver a little bit.
-Fuck -Eren said as he checked it in the system.
-Yeah...fuck. FUCK YOU! Why can't you just do your job, huh? I don't care what your personal problems are...one more mistake and you are OUT! -he kept yelling at him.
-You know what? -Eren jumped up from his chair, pushing you aside a bit- FUCK YOU! I'm so fucking fed up with your bullshit -he rushed out from the room, slamming the door behind him.
This bitch ass loud argument woke you up in an instant, you were sitting in the chair, grabbing your cup of coffee and didn't know what to do.
-You! -Levi pointed at you- Fix this shit! -he spun on his heels and left you alone.
Everyone froze in their action in the office, no one was brave enough even just to breathe a bit louder. You gulped big and sat into Eren's chair. After 10 minutes of wondering between the emails and checking excel sheets and documents you figured out what the problem was. You made some calls and finally it was fixed. As much you felt proud of yourself as much you felt sorry for Eren. Levi's act didn't seem fair at all. As you could see it wasn't even Eren's fault the truck being late. You slowly stood up and walked out of the room, trying to figure out where he could leave.
After wandering around for a few minutes you walked to the smoking spot and you were right. He's been leaning against the plastic wall, taking deep drags from his cigarette.
-Hey -you smiled nicely, stepping next to him.
-What? -he hissed, not even looking at you.
-I fixed it, don't worry -you tried to start a conversation. His hands were shaking like a leaf from the anger.
-Do you want a fucking trophy or what?
-Nah, I'm more like a tiara girl -you smirked.
He didn't say anything, but cracked a half smile.
-Want one? -he offered you a smoke.
-Thanks -you nodded, taking out one from the packet. You leaned closer as he clicked the lighter -He shouldn't yell at you like that. It wasn't even your fault -you said.
-Whatever -he shrugged, still shaking.
-Just try to calm down, it's not worth it -you smiled.
-Oh shut up! -he yelled at you, rolling his eyes irritated- Don't act like you know everything.
-Drop the act -you stayed calm- I know you are not an asshole even if you want me to believe that.
-Can you just leave me the fuck alone?
-Nope -you clicked your tongue- You are exactly like my former coworker. Don't think for a second that I don't know what you are trying to do.
-You don't know shit about me -he hissed, flicking the butt to the ashtray and was about to leave.
-Eren -you grabbed his wrist slightly.
He froze in his action, didn't know how to react.
-I'm sorry -he sighed, clenching his jaw.
-Let's go back -you smiled, finishing your smoke as well.
The day rushed to its end and you tried your best to focus on everything he said, taking tons of notes. Around 16:30 everyone started to pack their stuff except Eren and Reiner.
-You can go -he yawned- I won't finish sometimes soon, but you don't need to stay.
-Nah...tell me what I can help with.
-You don't have to -he argued.
-I know -you shrugged your shoulders.
-You are annoying -he rolled his eyes.
-So are you -you laughed out loud.
-Fine -he sighed- Bring your laptop, I will give you some tasks to do.
As you walked to your desk, collecting the device Sasha stopped next to you.
-What are you doing? -she looked confused.
-I'm gonna help them to finish faster -you smiled, holding your laptop.
-Levi's gonna like you -she laughed.
-I don't need his sympathy, I just wanna help the guys to finish earlier -you said with a serious tone, leaving Sasha behind.
After Eren explained what you can help with, you started to work and so all of you finished around 7.
-Yo, Reiner! -Eren stood up, grabbing his jacket- Down for a drink?
-Sorry Jaeger, not today -he waved you guys goodbye.
-Y/N? -he turned to you.
-Nah, I'm tired as hell. I want to sleep.
-Pleaseee -he pulled a puppy face.
-Eren...stop -you shook your head.
-Just one!
-I'm starving -you whined, walking to your desk followed by him.
-Then let's go for dinner first -he tried to bargain.
-You are really a pain in the ass -you sighed annoyed.
-I'm gonna wait for you at the parking lot -he winked at you, leaving the room.
You already regretted being nice to him, because now it looked like he stuck to you. It happened all the time. Whenever you were nice to someone you couldn't get rid of them anymore. Even if you loved being left alone in peace. You could have been an asshole and rejected his invitation like you usually would do, but there was something about him, which made you act otherwise. You just didn't want to hurt his feelings, you really felt sorry for this broken guy.
-Come! -you called out, when you arrived at your car.
-I hoped you would have been the driver again -he smirked, sliding in.
-Oh shut up -you rolled your eyes- You are already exhausted, pissed off and you want to drink...Like I have any other choice -you pulled an annoyed face- But I'll choose the place, something near to my place and you can catch a cab, when we are done.
-Deal! -he smiled widely.
You drove the car to your favorite bar. It was at the end of the street of your home, so it seemed like a perfect choice.
-Wall of Rose - Eren read out loud the sign of the bar- What a stupid name for a bar.
-C'mon -you got out of your car- I don't have time for you all night long.
After your order arrived at the table you started to stuff your mouth like there was no tomorrow.
-What? -you ask.
-You really are hungry.
-Duh...I told you I am. Is there any problem with it?
-No -he chuckles- Girls just usually are shy eating in front of a guy -he shrugged.
-Yeah, when they are on a date and not being with a simple coworker -you kept eating.
-Ohh...- he seemed somehow offended?!- I'm gonna get a drink. Tonic again?
-No way! -you laughed- I want a good, cold beer -you licked your bottom lip.
-Full of surprise -he chuckled, heading to the bartender.
Eren kept drinking beer after beer, getting tipsier minute by minute.
-You should stop -you said, finishing your first bottle.
-What? Why? -he yawned big, not bothering to cover his mouth.
-You drank like 4 bottles in the last 10 minutes. You're gonna get wasted.
-So what?
-Wanna talk about it? -you raised one of your eyebrows. Maybe the booze, maybe the actions of today, maybe just you being too kind to him, but he felt like he wanted to spit out everything.
-I'm so fucking miserable -he shook his head- I feel so burnt out, you know. She just keeps chewing on my life, makes everything ten times harder than it should be.
You kept silent, listening to him carefully.
-How long are you married? -you asked.
-5 years, but I have known her since diapers. She was always around, never leaving me alone. Protecting me all the time, convincing me this was love we had between us. Love? -he laughed bitter- Love my ass. She's just a freaking psycho. So fucking obsessed with me that it terrifies me to the bones. Jealous all the time, I can't look or talk to a girl without her thinking I cheat on her -he hissed angrily.
-Are you sure it cannot be fixed between you too? If you know her this long, maybe there's a chance...
-A chance for what? -he cut you mid sentence- Changing Mikasa? There's no way in hell -he laughed out loud with so much pain in his voice- God, even if we are on a divorce, if she would see us now she would try to beat the shit out of you.
-Sorry? -you looked surprised.
-Yeah...she's crazy.
-Well -you smirked- I don't know how strong she is, but believe me it's not easy to beat my ass.
-Haha, I'm sure of it, you look tough as hell -he smiled at you- I'm happy I met you, Y/N.
-Easy, tiger -you laughed out loud- Don't get too emotional, you are ruining my opinion about you being a total dickhead.
-Shut up! -he chuckled again- There's gonna be a huge ass party Saturday at Jean's place. Wanna come?
-Please, Eren...-you shook your head desperately.
-What? -he looked confused.
-I love being alone on the weekends -you laughed out loud- You have no idea how freaking antisocial I am. I hate parties... like a lot.
-Yeah, sure.
-Seriously. So, I'm sorry, but I need to pass.
-Please!
-Why? You will have your friends there, won't you?
-You are more fun to be around -he smirked at you.
-Ohh drop this shit act, Jaeger -you sat back at your chair.
-Fine -he rolled his eyes.
-It was a perfect night, but I'm gonna go now. You will be okay? -you asked, standing up, grabbing your stuff- Or should I call you a cab?
-I think I will just walk -he shrugged.
-What? Why?
-I'm too drunk to get a cab. They won't let me get in -he chuckled, focusing on standing straight.
-You're such a pain in the ass -you shook your head annoyed- Come with me. He followed you without a word, sliding in your car easily.
-Home? -you turned to him.
-No way!
-You will need to pay for my gas next time. I'm like your fucking personal driver.
-A pretty, badass driver -he wiggled in his seat, trying to get comfortable with his eyes closed.
You didn't react, because you knew it was just the alcohol talking. He was hurt and desperate, so there was no point in taking him seriously at all.
-Where do you live? -he asked out of the blue, when he felt the car start to move.
-Why?
-Just curious -he shrugged.
-We will pass in front of my house, it's at the end of this street.
-This one -you pointed at the small, but cute looking house.
-Sweet -he smiled- Do you mind? -he turned on the radio.
-No, I always listen to music, when I drive -you cracked a half smile, when you heard one of your favorite songs, Riot by Hollywood Undead to start.
-Fuck, I love this song! -he volumed it up.
"I've been searching for an answer, but I ain't found one
I've been known to tear shit up and go off like a gun
I've been drinking way too much, but now I think I'm done"
You started to sing the lyrics right away, drumming your fingers on the driving wheel.
"Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!"
Eren yelled the phrase with a huge smile on his face. He looked way too hyped by the song.
"I gotta get, I gotta get that feeling
Gotta get higher than the twenty-foot ceiling"
Both of you followed the lyrics this time.
-I wonder -he turned to you- do you get high?
-Sometimes -you shrugged.
-No way! -he slammed his fist against his mouth, laughing.
-What? -you asked, smiling.
-You look so innocent and yet you are a freaking badass bitch.
-Watch your mouth, Jaeger -you rolled your eyes. But deep inside you loved the way he reacted.
-Want one? -he moved his eyebrows up and down fast.
-Now? No way!
-Why? I thought you were cool -he faked a sad smile.
-I am cool -you looked seriously into his eyes- Cooler than you will ever find out -you smirked.
-Challenge accepted!
-We are here -you pulled out in front of the hotel- Good night.
-You are such a party breaker -he shook his head sadly.
-Yeah, I'm such a terrible person -you gasped ironically.
-See you in the morning, pretty -he got out of the car, closing the door, leaving you with a confused look on your face.

Are you all caught up on the OC finales? What did you think?
I caught up today! I thought they were fine to really good!!
Med was really solid. Surprising no one I'm absolutely heartbroken that Will is leaving but I'm glad he went out in typical Will fashion, had a really nice scene with Sharon at the end, and we got Manstead endgame. Liliana and Dr Charles are back together! They're so flipping cute, I love that for them. Dasher are doing Dasher things, I had to LOL when Hannah was like HARD NO about dating Archer and he was so offended. I think Med's gonna return to somewhat normal next season, probs the first half will be dealing with whoever buys the hospital and convincing them to turn it not-for-profit again. The only question marks for me are whether Maggie and Dr Song stay. I think if they continue to do O.R 2.0 things, Dr Song will, and I think they've left it a bit open for Maggie depending on Marlynne's health and what she decides. I was a little surprised they didn't address it more in the finale about the possibility of her leaving since the episode before made it feel like much more of a sure thing. A solid episode!
Fire was... kinda meh if I'm being honest. Like it's not unusual for me to multi-task while I'm watching tv, but I still pay attention to what's happening with the plot, but I was dicking around on my phone while watching Fire and kept realising that I was fully not paying attention to what was going on and kept having to go back and rewatch. Like, it just felt like lots of talking ha ha. I think where we go from here is super dependent on whether Taylor comes back next season or not. Feels like they're setting up Carver and Violet, which I'm not against, but haven't fully let go of Carver in his feels over Stella either, so if T.K doesn't come back and Stellaride break up (BIG IF NO ONE THROW TOMATOES) they might continue to pursue that as well. I'm more and more on the Stella/Carver train (NO ONE HATE ME) so I'm super fine with those angsty looks he's sending her lmao. Super here for the little friendship between Kylie and Ritter and very keen for Kylie to become the new candidate (that has to be where this is going). Sylvie's adopting the baby, yay for her I guess, I mean, like I said in another ask, I'm pretty sure I know this is heading for a Kara exit, which I'm not opposed to, so I'm just very.... okay? about this storyline. It feels rushed, but it's fine, and I get a Brettsey endgame (probably) so fine. And Mouch... maybe I'm stupidly optimistic but I don't think he's dying. I think Christian is leaving the show, but I don't think Mouch is dying. Idek why tbh. It's a bit anticlimatic if he does die tbh. Like he didn't even get shot, it was a random piece of shrapnel. Idk, I think he'll probs survive and then retire. Maybe I don't think they'll kill him because it would mean that PD also has to change Trudy's characterisation over on that show. Like imagine her husband dies and they never even mention it on PD 💀💀💀
PD was the best episode imo. The pacing and writing was great, even though I'd seen bits and pieces of it already online I still felt drawn in by it and I really felt the tension. I felt like Adam, Kim, and Kevin all got to shine. Hailey and Voight not so much, sad for Hailey, get fucked Voight. Absolute snaps for Kevin getting to shoot that racist mother fucker, and I know he's just a kid but lmao fuck Callum. Fuck his mum too and I hope she goes down for some of this shit. One of my only question marks is why Torres wasn't in the ep? I can't tell if it's a weird writing choice to keep leaving him out of episodes or if the actor has some sort of other commitment keeping him from being in every episode, but I feel like they either need to commit to his character being part of the team, or drop him and bring someone who will be around all the time. Burzek slayed as always, inject that moment of Kim on the phone and absolutely sprinting to get to Adam into his veins. Kim in the ambulance, and at the hospital, "Are you his partner", "You're with Adam" "I'm with Adam" yeah girl you tell that bitch. You ARE with Adam. I mean, as with every other Burzek shipper I'm annoyed that they clearly filmed a Burzek scene at the hospital and then cut it. I hope they release it as a deleted scene at some point bc I need it. I've seen the theory that they cut it because it shows Adam's alright and Paddy might leave the show.... I mean.... maybe? I doubt it. It's more likely they cut it bc the show has a hard on for Hank Voight and wanted to end on him. I think it would have been a better ending to end with Burzek because it would have been a really full circle, cyclical ending from where they started the season, and the episode, but, what can you do? I'm sure someone will write the fic. Still, despite all that, a really great episode and end to this arc.
Sorry, this got long but yeah, those are my thoughts. Med 6/10, Fire 4/10, PD 8/10.
