You were seated atop the plush carpet that was spread out across the wooden floor, presents and wrapping paper scattered around you. You and the boys had used the day to do Christmas shopping for your friends and family.

Sometimes shopping with the boys felt like shopping with toddlers, and they felt the same way about shopping with you. But that wont stop any of you from all shopping with one another. Well, except when shopping for one another, but that’s another story.

You had a few presents wrapped, yet still a ton more to go. Bucky had given up wrapping after two presents, he opted to now be sitting with you between his legs, his chest pressed firmly against your back.

Steve on the other hand was continuing to wrap, wanting to get this over and done with instead of sitting in the house with what felt like millions of presents needing to be wrapped. He just liked getting things done instead of letting them pile up. He did it all calmly with no worry what so ever.

and Bucky of course was the opposite.

Bucky liked to procrastinate till the last minute and still come out having done whatever it was perfectly and seemingly like he had heaps and heaps of time to do whatever it was.

You on the other hand, no matter when you got it done you did in a panicked manner, no matter how stressful or not the situation was. If you got it done on time, before or last minute it was still done with immense anxiety.

Needless to say you three were all different in that way, yet still worked together beautifully.

Your fingers started to slow down as Bucky started to press kisses across your neck, teasing around your sweet spot- do everything possible to avoid it but constantly graze over the sensitive skin.

Steve looked over at your two from the wrapping, his eyes darkening ever so slightly at the sight he saw. Your pupils seemed to be a little bigger than normal as your lips parted ever so slightly.

You were trying to keep your concentration on the present you were trying to wrap, but Bucky had other plans in mind and he didn’t stop usually till he got his way.

The moment his lips attached to your sweet spot was the moment a quiet whimper slipped past your lips, causing you to try and wiggle out of his grasp as he held you against him tighter.

“Stop trying to fuck me! I am wrapping presents.” Your words trailed off as he nipped at your skin, the paper wrapping in your hands crumbling as you tighten your grasp on the colorful shiny paper. Bucky let out a laugh against your skin, pulling you impossibly closer to his chest.

The closer you were the more you could feel his erection against your back through his grey sweatpants. He had forgone his shirt earlier when he proclaimed he was ‘too hot.’ But with him it could have two meanings that neither you nor Steve questioned when it came to the male.

Speaking of Steve, he never let his gaze shift from you two, he had just finished wrapping his last present- you three had divided the gifts into an equal amount to make it fair. But it wasn’t like any of you minded, well, except Bucky.

Bucky let his left arm stay wrapped around your torso, his right hand snaking up to grab your jaw, turning your head to the side. “You sure I cant stop? C’mon, look at the way Steve is looking at us. Don’t you wanna do something more fun than wrapping presents?” He purred in your ear, causing your lips to part.

“I can think of another thing I want my cock wrapped in this Christmas.” He growled this time, your eyes falling shut as you let the paper slip from your fingers. Your cheeks flushed red at that, Bucky shifted your head to look at Steve. He was leaning back on his hands, a smirk on his face. His cock was already hard in his jeans, it amazed and slightly terrified you just how easily these boys got turned on.

Bucky hummed softly, his left hand loosening it’s grip around your torso, letting his metal fingers gently glide down your body and up your skirt. Cupping your mound through your underwear, “Don’t you wanna put on a show for Steve, let him watch you come undone because of me? I know he would like that.” Bucky continued, slowly pushing your lace panties to the side.

His metal fingers made contact with your heat, causing you to gasp at the sudden chill on your most sensitive area. “But, the presents-” You managed to get out, leaning your head back onto Bucky’s shoulder. He tutted at you the moment your eyes started to slip shut, giving your jaw a gentle shake. “Eyes on Steve, kid.” He grumbled out, his fingers gliding ever so gently through your folds.

Steve had a perfect view of this, your legs spread wide as you were sat between Bucky, your skirt was bunched up giving him the best view of Bucky’s fingers stuffed in your cunt. It made him throb almost painfully in his pants, palming himself to try and ease it.

You whimpered as Bucky pressed a finger into you, causing your legs to snap shut which only caused Steve to shake his head at you. “Mind if I join you?” Steve said to Bucky, which the male only nodded his head with a smile. “You never have to ask, punk.” In a flash Steve was right in front of you, leaning forward to press a searing kiss to your lips. Once he pulled away he kissed Bucky with the same amount of passion.

Seeing them kiss always got to you, you managed to get wetter as you clenched around Bucky’s metal fingers. Your eyes were trained on them, having to crane your neck in a strange way to watch them. But the pain was worth it. A moan slipped past your parted lips as you felt a thumb rubbing at your clit.

Steve thumbed at your clit while Bucky added another finger into you, the two still kissing.

If you could, you would've cum right then and there. Once again you tried to close your legs, but you couldn’t with Steve on his knees between your thighs.

The two pulled away, a string of saliva pulling between their red, swollen lips. Bucky moved to press kisses across your neck once again, Steve easing his thumb off your clit. Once he did that you let out a sad whine which in turn caused Steve to smack your cunt gently, your back arching off of Bucky’s chest with a sharp gasp.

“Behave.” Steve tutted, moving to unbutton your blouse with skillful fingers while Bucky continued to pump his fingers in and out of your dripping core slowly. Once your shirt was unbuttoned Bucky eased his fingers out of you, you bit your lip to not let out another whine.

Bucky helped get your shirt off the rest of the way before throwing it somewhere else in the living room, he pushed you forward a tad to unclasp your bra. You shimmed out of the article clothing and once again it was tossed across the room.

You were left in your skirt and underwear, the chill of the air causing your nipples to pebble. Steve leaned down to press open mouth kisses across your chest, leaving marks in his wake. You were once again pulled back into Bucky’s chest, he pressed a soft kiss to your cheek.

“Isn’t this better than wrapping those presents?” He questioned in your ear, you bit at your bottom lip as you nodded your head. You let your gaze shift over to the discarded wrapping paper, tape and unwrapped presents.

But you were taken out of the moment by Steve sucking your nipple into his mouth, a harsh gasp being heard from you as your hands quickly shot up to tangle themselves in Steve’s blonde locks, he chuckled softly against you, pulling away from your breast with a wet ‘pop’. He then put his attention to the other breast, giving it the same treatment he gave the other one.

Your eyes were shut in bliss, hands shaking in his hair as you panted, the throbbing in your core becoming stronger.

“Why don’t we take this to the couch.” Bucky purred out, and soon enough you were being pulled around like a rag doll to the couch that was only a few feet away.

Steve let out a hum once Bucky placed you down onto the couch, the two were standing while you remained seated. Bucky soon discarded himself of his sweats, his cock springing free and smacking his lower stomach. Steve soon followed suit in getting undressed, as you watched him you felt your mouth water at the sight.

Your boys were the two hottest men alive, sculpted to perfection physically and in every other way. Bucky soon was standing right in front of you, his hands resting on your cheeks before sliding up to your hair, tilting your head back as he stared down at you and you stared up with wide, innocent eyes.

His tongue shot out and licked his bottom lip, “Aren’t you a sight to see?” He purred out as you tightened your thighs together to help give yourself some sort of friction. Your hands were on your lap, itching to reach out to one of their cocks, once again your mouth felt like it was watering.

“What are we gonna do with her, Buck?” Steve questioned from the side, causing you to shift your gaze over to look at the other tall male. Bucky motioned for Steve to sit down, as Steve turned to sit Bucky leaned over and smacked Steve’s ass gently, causing him to turn with his brows furrowed. The sight caused you to let out a quiet laugh, which in turn caused Bucky to smile proudly at you.

Steve was seated next to you side ways, one of his legs on the couch and the other planted firmly on the ground. “Take off your panties, doll.” Steve said and of course you did as you were told. When you went to take off your skirt your hands were pulled away by Bucky, looking up at him in confusion. “No, keep the skirt on.” He said and you swallowed thickly with a nod.

Bucky moved to sit on the other side of you, “Get on his cock.” He commanded you, soon you darted your eyes to Steve who was pumping his cock a few times, a breathy moan slipping past his parted lips. You shifted yourself ontop of Steve, straddling him.

You hovered above him, one hand on his chest and the other on the back of the couch. He kept hold of his cock, teasing the tip through your folds, smearing his precum and your wetness across.

Before you could say anything he was pushing up into you, your eyes nearly rolling into the back of your head as you tightened your grip on the couch, mouth dropping into an ‘o’ shape. Slowly you eased down onto his length, his cock stretching you oh so deliciously.

He let you take a moment to just sit on him, get use to his cock for a moment.

But before you could start to move you felt a pair of hands on your waist, one metal and one flesh. Once again Bucky was pressed up against your back, you could feel his cock flesh against your back. His hands helped guide you back and forth on Steve’s cock. Your head finds its place against Bucky’s shoulder, panting as he pushes and pulls you.

Steve bit his bottom lip, one hand resting on your hip right above where Bucky was holding and the other going down to rub gently at your clit. Applying light pressure, enough to send tingles down your spine but not enough to help send you over the edge.

The once quiet room was filled with moans and pants, whimpering as Steve’s thick cock nearly rips you in half, Bucky’s strong hands on your hips helping you fall closer and closer to your peak. “You like that sweet girl?” Steve started speaking, the pressure he was pressing onto your clit getting stronger as the seconds passed.

“Like my cock nestled in you while Buck is gripping your hips and helping you grind down on me?” He asked you, his voice dark and low. You couldn’t speak, only nodding your head as you bit your bottom lip, speeding up your movements. “Oh you know she does, she's so good at keeping our cocks nice and wet, good at everything she does.” Bucky replied to Steve dirty talk with more.

Your legs were starting to feel like jelly, thighs shaking around Steve’s slim waist. Even with Bucky helping you, your pace was starting to slow as your peak was getting closer, your nails pressing faint crescent shapes into Steve’s chest as your grip on the couch started to falter.

You would’ve fallen forward if it weren't for the strong hands on your hips keeping you up.

Your chest was rising and falling and starting to speed up. But before your peak was right in your grasps, Bucky tightened his grip on your hips and held you still. Which only caused you to let out a groan, nails digging in further to Steve as he let out a laugh. You were acting pitiful, pouting deeply as you looked up at the ceiling.

You knew it would do you no good to try and move your hips at this moment. Steve’s fingers had moved off your clit, letting his hand move to grasp your to cease you digging your nails into him further.

Bucky pressed a few kisses to your shoulder. “Good girl,” He purred out against your skin. The affirmation caused your walls to flutter around Steve, which in turn caused him to let out a breathy groan as his free hand gripped your hip. They both held you still, your eyes shutting as you tried to calm your breathing.

The two were letting your once building orgasm ease down to nothing but the feeling of being stuffed full, which you were.

It felt like in a blink of an eye you were being pulled off of Steve, everything was moving so fast and so slow as you were dazed from the once blinding pleasure to the feeling of nothing.

After a moment you were being leaned over the arm rest of the couch, skirt flipped up. Each of your arms were resting on the arm rest, and once again Steve was slowly easing himself into your throbbing core.

One of his hands rested against the small of your back while the other helped him push his cock into you, once he was full inside that hand want to your hips.

Your forehead fell to rest against yours arms, but not for long. Soon two hands were cradling the sides of your head to lift it up. Standing in front was Bucky, and at perfect level of your mouth was his cock, precum leaking out of the slit. He let his right hand tangle into your hair while his left went to pump his cock a few times, biting his bottom lip as he stared down at you.

You already looked fucked out, eyes half closed, cheeks flushed and lips parted. But so eager for whatever these boys would throw at you. In a split second you were pulling his hand off his cock and pulling him closer. Letting go of his hand to wrap your fingers around his cock.

With a devious smirk you ran your thumb across the tip, spreading the precum across the head and starting to pump him. His lips parted with a breath slipping past, stepping closer to you.

Leaning forward you pressed a kiss to his left hip before licking a stripe up the underside of his member. Your hands were slightly shaky from the pleasure Steve was giving you as he thrusted in and out of you in a slow, teasing pace. You let your lips wrap around Bucky before easing down, pumping what couldn’t fit in your mouth.

You relaxed your throat and took him all in, and once you did that Steve started to pump his cock in and out of you faster, which in turn caused you to moan around Bucky. The noise sent vibrations through him, “Oh, fuck.” Bucky grunted out, letting his hands gather your hair in a makeshift ponytail as he followed the pace Steve was thrusting at.

One of your hands was holding you up while the other went to rest against Bucky’s thigh, eyes rolling back in pleasure.

Steve leaned over and reached his hand around to rub at your clit. Once he did so you pulled off of Bucky to let out a moan and to get air, using your hand that was just on his thigh to now jerk him off.

“You like being stuffed full like this, don’t you? My cock down your throat and Steve buried in your cunt. Bet you wish we could stay like this, huh?” Bucky spoke huskily once you took him back in your mouth, bobbing your head and hallowing your cheeks. “Oh you know she does, she is gripping me so tight I can barely move.” Steve added with a sharp thrust which made your eyes roll back as he continued to circle your clit with his fingers.

“Fuck, doll- feels so good.” Steve said a moment later, leaning back up. Bucky shifted all your hair to one of his hands before he leaned over to grab the back of Steve’s neck, pulling him close for a heated kiss, both of them fucking you still.

If you died right then and there, you would've been fine with that.

The two pulled away once the need for air became strong, “Are you close? I bet you are.” The brunette spoke through a moan, all you could do was weakly nod.

“Fuck, Bucky, you should cum on her tits.” Steve groaned out with a nod, thrusting faster into you. The thought only made Bucky nod as he pulled out of you, continuing to pump his cock. Steve pulled you up to your knees, one arm wrapping around your hips and the other never stopping its attack on your throbbing bundle of nerves.

Bucky took a step closer to the couch, his eyes trained on your face. Your lips were parted as moans, pants and whimpers continued to spill from your red, saliva coated lips, totally and utterly cock drunk on them. “Oh she’s close, buck.” You heard from behind you, and you were close.

The peak was right there, building and building waiting to snap.

Steve was pumping in and out at an almost bruising pace, chasing his and your highs. Bucky jerked himself off to the sight of you both, his bottom lip between his teeth.

The moment you came caused them both to tip over and fall into their own orgasm. Your hand shot out to grasp the back of Steve’s head, head thrown back in bliss while your other hand grabbed his wrist.

A string of curses and whines came from you as you came around Steve’s cock, the feeling of your velvety silk walls fluttering around him caused him to spill his load into you with a grunt. Watching you and Steve cum sent Bucky over the edge, pumping himself through his orgasm as his load spilled onto your chest.

Your body shook from the after shocks, Steve shifting to lean back against the couch and pulling you along with him. His softening cock slipped from your folds. Steve was sitting the way he was before with his back against the armrest and you resting in his lap with hooded eyes. Bucky followed along to sit next to you.

It took everything in him not to get hard again as he watched yours and Steve’s mixed spent slip through your cunt.

Steve swiped his finger through Bucky’s cum that was on your chest, bringing it up to your lips. “Open.” He requested softly, and of course you complied, wrapping your lips around his fingers with a hum. “Good girl.”

Your eyes shut as your body calmed down, a gentle tingle starting from your toes all the way up to your head slowing itself down. A quiet laugh was heard from Bucky as he leaned against the other arm rest, throwing one arm over the back of the couch. “I think that was much more enjoyable than wrapping presents.” He said happily, which in turn caused Steve to laugh as you rolled your eyes.

“Because you distracted us all, Buck, you get to finish wrapping the presents.” Steve stated with a smirk, his statement caused you to giggle, blinking your eyes open to see Bucky’s reaction which was a surprised face. You shifted on Steve, nuzzling against the crook of his neck as he wrapped his arms around you.

“I’m gonna go start us all a shower and while I'm gone I want you guys to think about my feelings you have hurt.” He joked, standing up and heading off into the direction of your ensuite bathroom.

But he was right, it was much more fun than wrapping all the presents.

WHEN I TELL YOU I IMMEDIATELY HAD AN IDEA, I I M M E D I A T E L Y HAD AN IDEA. I was so proud of myself when i got this lol cause I saw your entry when I woke up, barely skimmed it, and said…

TSUKISHIMA KEI

✧ 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑀𝑒𝑡 ✧

Okay okay hear me out

Hot topic (or something similar but I’m American so hot topic)

He was looking to get something for Yamaguchi’s birthday & maybe something for himself because don’t tell me Tsukishima Kei isn’t into anime I know he is

Probably shonen but still

Anyway

You were both reaching for the same thing (yes I’m using THAT trope)

Fortunately for you, there was more than one keychain but still

He was about to get low key defensive like “hey watch it” y’know like

Was in a v short mood

But the second he got the word “hey” out he turned to look at you and just

Froze

And got all embarrassed because look at this beautiful girl he’s standing net to shit he was just cursing you out in his brain

So he’s staring at you with wide eyes and you’re like “oh I’m sorry--you like JJK too? That’s cool”

And he’s stuttering Tsukishima Kei is flustered, everybody

So he’s like “uh yeah kinda I guess I don’t really talk about it a lot cause my friend isn’t into it”

“Well I mean if you ever wanna talk about it we can”

“Really?”

“Yeah, gimme your phone I’ll give you my number. If that’s chill”

“Sure, I guess, yeah”

Akiteru was home that day and hadn’t seen his brother smile this much since he was a kid

Any time he asked though Kei just got all huffy and went to his room

✧ 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑠 ✧

U two make playlists for each other on a regular basis (Spotify playlists w collaboration turned on are your best friend)

They're always killer and hit a little too hard

When you tell him you have a new favorite song, he listens to it on repeat until he knows all the lyrics and can pick on you for saying the wrong lyrics if you ever do

Also because it reminds him of you

He loves that he can be himself around you

Really he does

Like that’s one of his favorite things

He doesn’t have to hide any of his hobbies or really anything about him really and he appreciates it so much

It took a while to get there with him, but once he trusted you 100%, he realized he was in love with you

Love and trust are the same things to him (or at least similar) so he knew he loved you when he realized he really could be himself with you around and probably told you as such

He’s not one to push your boundaries, but just had to tell you so it was probably a text like

“Look I don’t expect you to say this back if you’re not ready for that yet, but you’re so amazing--I need to be honest. I’ve done nothing but stare at the ceiling for an hour and think and just realized how in love with you I am. I really am. Take that as you will.”

And then just straight up DIDN’T ANSWER UNTIL 2 AM THAT NIGHT LIKE “sorry I was at Yamaguchi's” LIKE BRO JUST DROP A BOMB LIKE THAT DAMN

Needless to say, he WAS at Yamaguchi's and left his phone at home but it was because he was too afraid of what you’d say

He got home at 11

He just procrastinated for three hours until he finally answered you back

And when you told him you loved him too, his heart SOARED he proceeded to call yams and squeal like a seven-year-old girl for a half hour

If ur shorter than him he uses your head as an armrest, no exceptions

He does it if you're taller than him too he just goes up on his toes to do it

Anyway

Can and will pick on you for everything

It’s the way he shows his love alright

Cute stationery? It’s tacky and “why do you have this it’s irritatingly adorable”

“You’re irritatingly adorable”

“I’m not adorable”

“Yes you are Tsukki"

Lets you call him Tsukki until you can call him Kei

You have to have a thick skin with him because sometimes it’s hard to tell when he’s being sarcastic or not

If he ever did make you cry or genuinely upset though, he’d tear himself to pieces about it for hours and be completely unresponsive to his phone if you text him because he thinks you hate him

When he finally texts you back he’ll never admit how upset he is, but he will apologize for making you upset

It’s really hard to do emotions with this dude but you try to manage

If you can figure out how to make him talk about his problems “let’s talk about Akiteru” “no”? Yamaguchi will love you forever

You get the best friend approval anyway but you get an extra gold star if you can get him to open up more

Oh and you totally like to show up at games or practice and everyone including Ukai and Takeda love you for it because he tries a little harder so he doesn’t look bad in front of you

It’s like a switch he goes from like 5% to 70% effort but that’s the best he’s giving until it’s game time then he’ll crank it to 100%

✧ 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐼𝑑𝑒𝑎 ✧

Okay okay but but but but but

Anime dates

Like once a week you two sit and watch anime over discord or smth

You don’t usually talk much but it’s nice to be in each others’ presence

Or close to that

When you can get together it’s that much better

You trade off whose house you’re at every other week, and whoever's visiting picks up snacks on the way

You’ll watch tv, make fun of the characters together, roll your eyes at the sappy moments but lean over to kiss Tsukki anyway

It’s overall a very wholesome scene

But there will be times when he is stressed and tired for whatever reason and he’ll fall asleep

Sometimes he’ll be curled into a little ball on his side of the couch

Sometimes he’ll slouch his head against your shoulder with his arm around your waist

Sometimes he’ll pause the show and pull you down against him and just lay with you for a while

Not even watch tv just

Be happy in each others’ presence

He’ll fall asleep from time to time and you take his glasses off for him

He looks so soft when he’s sleeping and not glaring at people

✧ 𝑍𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑐 𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 ✧

Libras, while they may not exactly say it, are romantics. They enjoy little things about romance, however modern, like spontaneous dates and flowers. They initiate clever ideas and Aquariuses are good at adding a different perspective, so prepare for in-depth conversations. On the other hand, Aquariuses tend to be trendsetters, which Libras support wholeheartedly.

Fire Emblem: Awakening Thoughts

As of the date May 20th, 2020, I finished my playthrough of Fire Emblem: Awakening on its one year anniversary of when I got it. It is now June 5th of writing this. This post will be my thoughts and feelings on Awakening, much like the KH3 Grievances and Blessings post last year. Let's get into some history between me and Fire Emblem before I go into Awakening.

As I've said before, Awakening was both my first Fire Emblem game and my first Tactical RPG. Smash Bros. was where I had heard of Fire Emblem but it wouldn't be until Ultimate came out that I would start to get interested. It was because of my friend's preference for Lucina that got me into playing as her in Smash and that's pretty much how she became both one of my mains and a favorite. It honestly wasn't till I listened to the Smash remixes of Id, Conquest, and Lost in Thoughts All Alone that I decided to play Awakening and then Fates. So thanks go out to both Smash and my friend Eric for converting me to Fire Emblem trash!

Much like the KH3 Grievances and Blessings post, I'll be going over every aspect of Awakening I can think of, from the graphics to the gameplay to the story. I'll even include a Best/Worst Girl and Boy of both generations because that kind of thing seems to matter to some people, along with my reasons for why X is Y. Keep in mind that whoever I choose as those categories, it is just my opinion and you're free to disagree with me. I say this because I know that, no matter what I say, some diehard fans will get pissed at me and come at me for daring to shit on their favorite character. I already know some people are gonna get mad because they think X should be Best/Worst and that'll be fun to see (You can interpret that as sarcasm if you want).

Listed below are Awakening spoilers, so if you want to play the game and don't want to be spoiled, now's your chance to stop reading. I know Awakening came out in 2013, meaning 6 or 7 years ago, but there may be some people who haven't gotten around to playing it yet so I want to be courteous to them. Here are my thoughts on Fire Emblem: Awakening!

First off, the graphics. I think they looked really nice for a 3DS game that came out in the early 2010's and I believe this was Fire Emblem's first fully 3D game as well so that's really impressive. The in-game models were nicely detailed, the in-game sprites were nice looking, and the prerendered cutscenes were beautiful. This doesn't mean they're not without their faults, though. I wish the in-game cutscenes were more animated because it's easy to tell when an animation's been used over and over again, I feel as if the in-game sprites have some dissonance with official art, and there are times where expressions or animations for the prerendered cutscenes have looked pretty awkward. In terms of the first and last point, I'm giving IntSys some slack because, as I stated earlier, they were developing a game for the 3DS, a powerful handheld device but it's still a handheld, and this was FE's first 3D game so there may have been issues transitioning from 2D sprites to 3D models. I'll explain what I mean by my second point. I've looked at Cynthia's official art and when I see her face, I tend to see what I'd call a baby face, pudgy cheeks and all. Her in-game sprite, however, her face is sharper, more mature, if that makes sense. Maybe it's the pigtails throwing me off or it's just a difference between two art styles, I don't know. I'm not an artist so there's not much weight behind this but I'm just saying there's somewhat a dissonance between official art and in-game sprites.

Secondly, gameplay. I loved how easy it was and how I could switch between a simple and complex UI if I wanted to see which attacks could hit or what the enemy's stats were. This may sound stupid but I honestly thought it'd be way more difficult due to this being a Tactical RPG. I know strategy's a big part of Fire Emblem but strategy's not a big problem if you're like me and you grind to hell and back. Speaking of which, I played on Easy Casual mode so that might be why it seemed so simple from the get-go. Just to give you an idea of how much I grinded, I put in 200+ hours and that mostly consisted of buying a shitton of Reeking Boxes, spawning Risen on some of my favorite grind spots, and fighting them over and over again. I went through the 3 basic classes each character could have, maxed out their default class one last time, promoted them to their advanced class, and maxed out those classes 2-3 times over. I have a video on my Twitter that shows the stats of these characters and most of them are over 220 (The shapeshifters 300). Needless to say, I loved each and every fucking crit I got. Cordelia even got what I call a miracle crit, which means she got 2 crits in one round and after the enemy attacked, she got another 2 crits. Level grind ain't a joke in this game.

Thirdly, the music. Considering it's part of why I got into this game in the first place, I loved it. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to the OST and it sounds so much better when you don't have the ambient sounds and you're not listening to it through the 3DS speakers. The song that hit me the most and just gave me the overwhelming feels was Id~Sorrow as it played in Chapter 21. It fit so well with the tone of the scene and I just sat there for a few minutes, letting it play in the background as I did shit. Other notable mentions are Id~Purpose, Destiny, Conquest, and the song that is just ellipses. If the music is this good in Awakening, I can't wait to see what's in store for Fates!

Fourthly, the voice acting. For a game where most of the voices come in forms of clips, I thought they were good. Each of the actors tried their best to convey their characters in the clips they were allowed to have and I think it shows. The only critique I have, and it's not the actors' fault, is that some of the characters' voices don't fit them. I'm not saying they miscast these characters, it's more like the direction was off, if that makes sense. Let me bring up Cynthia, Kjelle, and M!Morgan as examples. I don't think it's a stretch to say that, sometimes when you look at a character, you kinda imagine what they'd sound like before you hear their actual voice, right? I already brought up Cynthia's looks so I imagined her voice to sound very high-pitched and maybe a little childlike. I hear her voice and, while she's high-pitched and some of her voice clips do go into that childlike territory, she's nasally sounding and more mature. Kjelle is a complicated case in that, her voice fits her appearance (minus the armor) but not her personality. Her personality is similar to Sully's so I figured her voice would sound gruffer and not...cute, if that's the right word. M!Morgan's, I think, everyone can see the problem with. He's supposed to be the youngest of the kids, right? Since he's the only third generation character and all that? I think he just sounds a little too old for the supposed baby of the kids. Again, I'm not saying the voices are bad or that the delivery/emotion was bad, I just think the direction in which they were voiced don't fit some of the characters. Maybe I'm just thinking in terms of archetypes or something.

Now we move on to the story. I can't say as to whether it was good or not, mainly because I spoiled myself on it way before I decided on playing Awakening, so I don't think I can say much to the quality. The least I'll say is it's serviceable. I'll admit, the one thing I was shocked by was the appearance of the Grima Avatar because I thought Grima was inside Robin the whole time and I didn't think he'd have a separate vessel. I straight up thought Grima!Robin was either my mother or a twin I wasn't aware of so I'm giving credit to the writers for surprising me. Anyway, I think the only flaw I have with the story is with the pacing. I thought the first half was fine, it wasn't too fast or too slow. It was the second half that the pacing couldn't find a middle ground. Now I'm going to say that this half was stretched out over months of my playtime so whatever I say next might be exaggerated because of my procrastinating ass so... I feel like the Valm arc was way too slow and the Grimleal arc had so much trouble finding a middle ground. The beginning of the Grimleal arc was quick but Grima himself decided that I had to finish 2 and a half chapters before I finally got to beat him and you have to deal with constant reinforcements before you kill off the target. I think if it weren't for my overleveled as fuck units, I wouldn't have finished Awakening in time for my birthday.

Just for shits and giggles, I'm gonna say what I picked for my choice with both Luce's judgement and Grima's fate. I picked the self-sacrificial choices, which means I accepted Luce's judgement and allowed her to kill me and I dealt the final blow to Grima so Chrom didn't have to. While I knew the outcomes of both choices and them ultimately not meaning anything, I wanted my Robin to reflect what I would've done and I'm a very self-sacrificial person. Because I made Chrobin happen in my playthrough, which meant Luce was my daughter, I believe that, if my child who came from an apocalyptic world told me I was the reason for that happening and that she came back through time to stop that future from happening so she and the others wouldn't suffer, I would've let her kill me. Parents would and should do anything for their kids and if my death possibly gave my daughter the chance for a better life, I'd take it in stride. As for me dealing the final blow to Grima, if it was to save everyone I loved, I would've done it. Although there's some feelings of wanting to give a big "Fuck you" to Grima and to permanently end the problem so any future descendants wouldn't have to deal with it. This section may sound more philosophical and personal than I usually write but I think it deserved it.

Now we're on to Supports and who I chose to be together. I don't think it's wrong to say that this is where the characters really get to shine and it's because of the Supports I love these kids and how much I'm going to miss them when I move on to other FE games. As for the "canon" couples, I mainly went with characters that I thought would complement each other and this was one of the few things I tried to choose for myself. I tried my best to go for pairings that weren't fan favorites but I'm also not very connected with the fandom as of writing this so I may be completely wrong in which ships were favorites or not. So here are the pairings I got for my playthrough!

Chrom-Robin

Frederick-Sumia

Virion-Miriel

Vaike-Nowi

Stahl-Sully

Lon'qu-Cordelia

Ricken-Lissa

Gaius-Maribelle

Gregor-Cherche

Libra-Panne

Henry-Olivia

Lucina-Inigo

Owain-Cynthia

Brady-Nah

Kjelle-Laurent

Severa-Yarne

Obviously, there are some characters missing from this list and I can explain why. I didn't recruit Kellam and Tharja and it's because your girl is a dumbass. Kellam, I thought, was already on my team, he was just labelled as an ally so I didn't need to recruit him. They really should've made that clear. Tharja, on the other hand, was an even bigger dumbass than me because she decided to charge after Robin, who happened to be in front and was way overleveled, and got her ass promptly beaten with a crit. I regret not getting Kellam but after hearing how awful of a person Tharja is and how many fans are willing to put aside emotional abuse and stalker-like tendencies to have a chance to fuck her, she can stay buried in the sand where I electrocuted her ass. Unfortunately, this does means Noire didn't pop up in my recruitment list and that fucking sucks. The only characters left I didn't have a pairing were Gerome and Morgan. I think Gerome wouldn't really care for a romantic partner because he's all about not wanting to create ties in this time and shit and, since I see Morgan as the baby of the kids, I figured he'd be a little too young to be in a relationship. Despite that, I wish I got him and Nah together because I found out after she was shipped with Brady that Morgan's the only S-Support she'll say "I love you" to and I was immediately filled with regret.

Before I move on to the Best/Worst contest, there's something I need to bring up because I can see what sensible fans have shown now. This game is HELLA gay. Like, holy fuck, how many instances are there where you have two characters of the same sex and they have dialogue that seems to have been written with romantic intent but the writers decide it's meant to be platonic? Maybe I just have this weird line of thought on how straights are because there's no fucking way some of these gay moments would be a thing with even the most accepting straights. Maribelle calling Lissa darling and other pet names, Robin blushing from some of the girls and even mistaking Flavia's proposition for a marriage proposal, Severa looking at Kjelle's abs, the list goes on. I'm not straight because I'd be doing some of this shit with a potential girlfriend if I could! Why did it take IntSys until 3 Houses to implement LGBT+ pairings when this game is right here?! At least this game doesn't have the weird student/teacher relationships 3H has and believe me when I say that, if it weren't for the fact I could give less of a fuck for 3H, I wouldn't play that game for that reason! Anyway, Awakening is hella gay and it should've been the first LGBT+ FE game instead of 3H.

The Best/Worst contest... As I said in the beginning, there'll be a Best/Worst Boy and Girl for both generations because that's fun and it seems to matter a lot to some people. Repeating what I said, this is just my opinion and you're free to agree or disagree with me. One rule I'm putting in is I will try my best to not pick fan favorites. Don't get me wrong when some of the crowd pleasers are good but there are other characters that deserve just as much love as the fan favorites so this is why I'm putting in this rule. Without further ado, here are the rulings!

1st Gen

Best Boy-Lon'qu

Best Girl-Panne

Worst Boy-Virion

Worst Girl-Miriel

2nd Gen

Best Boy-Owain

Best Girl-Cynthia

Worst Boy-Inigo

Worst Girl-Severa

Let's see how many people I piss off with these judgements. So, my reasoning: Best Boy for 1st gen was a big toss-up. I kept wanting to choose between Chrom, Frederick, Stahl, and Lon'qu because they really endeared themselves to me but I chose Lon'qu in the end because he's honestly such a dork (I mean, all of them are) and I gotta admire how he tries to overcome his fear of women and try being there for his wife and daughter if he happens to have one. There's also the fact he has to literally psyche himself up to talk to women if you check in with him in the Barracks and I'm just like "Fucking hell, that's adorable and I GET it". Best girl is Panne because believe me when I say that the moment I see this woman and hear her voice, I'm immediately gay for her. Then she transforms into a giant rabbit, kicks so much ass, and I'm in love. Funny story, I'd talk to my friend about my progress in Awakening on Discord and the moment he asks me who best girl was and I answered Panne, he called me out for being a furry. Granted, I would've automatically said Luce but I'm trying not to pick fan favorites so I get his criticism. If a woman like Panne existed in real life, bunny ears and tail and all, I'd probably become a furry for her, no questions asked. As for worst boy and girl, Virion and Miriel are characters I honestly don't give much of a fuck about. Not that they're bad, I just don't care about their archetypes, if that makes sense. Miriel I found to be boring and Virion's of the Casanova archetype and I've always kinda hated that archetype so that's why they're on the ranking.

Oh boy, 2nd gen. So, best boy being Owain. This boy is going to kill me. He's so adorable and sweet and he's just a good boy. There are literally Tweets on my Twitter where I just gush about him and he deserves so much love. He's just a sweet boy who loves his parents so much and is so proud to be their son and how he manages to rope his cousins (Luce and Morgan) into going with his fantasies and how they just go along with it! Owain is a cinnabun and I want to protect him and love him. Anyway, best girl being Cynthia is sorta the same reason as Owain. She's just so bubbly and happy and just adorable. Yeah, she may get carried away with showboating but I just love her earnest desire to be a hero. I think everyone can see why I paired Owain and Cynthia up. Now for the worst. Inigo and Severa are probably the only characters in this whole game that straight up got on my fucking nerves and for different reasons. Outside of his supports with Olivia and Henry, Inigo's constant flirting with the girls and Robin and inability to take no for an answer just rubbed me the wrong way. I actually put out a Tweet saying how Inigo's like an r/niceguy and I still think he is one. Course, this doesn't mean I didn't have my fair share of laughs from him. I fucking died at his and Gerome's A-Support where he ends up pathetically crying after the emo loner got more game than him and Gerome has to comfort his ass, that was hilarious. It also helped the fact that Liam O'Brien, who I've only heard him as the brooding emo loner role, voiced Inigo as the complete opposite of that and I had a blast. Severa, on the other hand, was...really unpleasant. There's a reason I hate Tsunderes with a passion and it's because they're unnecessarily bitchy towards everyone they know, even if they have no reason to be. Severa, however, was somehow worse because she went out of her way to be horrible to people. My dislike for her was cemented the moment I saw her and Cynthia's C-Support and she chose to make fun of her, despite Cynthia minding her own business and Severa just going "fuck it". However, I should express that I understand why Inigo and Severa are the way they are and that's why I'm not being as harsh on them as I could be. They still have their good moments and I can appreciate them while also raking them over the coals.

So that concludes my review/experience of Fire Emblem: Awakening! Despite some moments of frustration and annoyance, I had fun playing this! I mean it when I say I'm gonna miss these kids but I had plenty of time to spend with them so it's time to move on to newer lands. Next up on the list is Fates and I think I'm siding with Hoshido first. It's funny how, despite me spoiling the story for myself 3 separate times, I still can't remember much, if any, of it so that may say something about the quality. I also know Fates is pretty divisive among the fandom but the thing I know it for is the weird pseudo-incestuous ships it has so that's going to be fun! Hopefully, I'll get around to playing as one of my other mains in Smash, my water horse dragon Corrin, sometime soon and I'll be sure to let everyone know when my journey will start!

heyyy can I request a matchup?? :)) im 5'1 with shoulder length black hair and really into vintage fashion paired with basics!!! im a panromantic demisexual, aquarius & intp, who is more of an ambivert tbh, how extroverted/introverted I am depends on my mood/company! usually am pretty happy-go-lucky, excitable and I make friends easily!! im chill most of the times and i prefer to avoid confrontation but i can and will call ppl out on their bs (if needed) - hq!! ask anon (from imagines blog)

also i LOVE cold/dad jokes and bad pickup lines hahah i laugh easily but bonus points if the person is super awkward or deadpan about it! my interests include fashion, movies, reading, and comics - i usually spend time searching for cute vintage clothes, discussing movies/books/anime or just spending time doing activities (usually cooking/baking!) with my friends and family!! - hq!! ask anon

im really affectionate so its important for me to spend time with my loved ones to receive and in turn, give affection to them - usually in the from physical touch or quality time spent together!! im so glad that your matchups are open cos i love your haikyuu imagines and the amount of thought yall put into the matchups is just mindblowing tbh!!! hehe thank you in advance and im looking forward to the results 🥰🧡 - hq!! ask anon PS. so sorry it turned out so long idek how it happened OTL

HQ ASK ANON!! you’re a little ball of sunshine alkjfd how are you so cute,,, no choice i have adopted you now dskljfd also xNTP club represent!

also i wrote this in an inspired flurry while procrastinating my history essay due next week so i hope it’s legible kdfjl

i had a hard time narrowing it down but!! i match you with…

bokuto koutarou!

✧ that is him trying to impress you honestly i love this dumbass so much and every time he’s on screen you just know you’re in for a good time,,, and i think he’d absolutely adore you! also he loves how much shorter than him you are, he enjoys hugging you from behind because of it sdlkj

✧ i think you match his energy quite well, while still balancing him out! he needs someone who can keep up with him, while also bringing him back down to earth. he definitely brings out your extroverted side, but the fact you can be a bit more lowkey sometimes is a good thing for him; he needs to take a break from being at 100% all the damn time sdlkj

✧ cutest! happiest! brightest couple! honestly, you two would be so adorable,,, just sunshine incarnate. you can’t help but feel happy in each other’s company, and it’s kind of infectious? you guys can be quite loud, but people enjoy being around you two because you bring love and light wherever you go,,, bless

✧ but you can call him out on his bs when you need to, because oh boy, does he need it sometimes,,, you and akaashi (who adores you, btw) tag team it. you’re sort of like a ‘bokuto’s personal development team’ because you spend a lot of time trying to help him with his slumps. needless to say the results are very hit-or-miss

✧ good thing you laugh easily because he’s just,,, so funny without even trying. and when he makes you laugh, his heart feels so full and ready to burst and he’s so proud of himself for achieving something so important and-- he’s just very wholesome like that kjlkj

✧ listen. make the boy some lunch for practice and he’ll cry. absolutely shows off the bento box you made with him last night to all the black jackals. h e l p t h e m -- he won’t shut up about you ever and they’re s u f f e r i n g. they absolutely know far too much about you to the point that it’s kind of embarrassing. but, they beg you to come to their games because bokuto works just that little bit harder when you’re in the stands because he just wants to impress you so bad--

✧ i think he’s also super physically affectionate, so your love languages line up! he’s honestly kind of clingy, so good luck with walking around at all when you’re alone because you’ll have all 6′3″ of him wrapped around your waist at all times,, also, he genuinely tries to spend as much of his free time with you as possible! once he finds out how much that means to you, he literally writes it down in his phone so he’ll never forget it sdlkdjf he does that with everything important you mention to him! he’s that determined to be a Good Boyfriend, bless his heart,,,

✧ his favourite thing to do is spend time with you, tbh,,, whether it’s being stupid while watching a movie and discussing it (he’s trying, even if things fly over his head sometimes), being your hype guy whenever you’re trying out a new outfit combination, trying his best to cook with you (you know that bento box i mentioned? the plan was for you two to make it together, but he managed to fuck up the sauce by making it way to sweet. so, the duty was handed over to you while he sulked with his head buried in your shoulder)

✧ you two are,,, so cute,,, my heart can’t handle it,,, you two would just be so loving and giving and you’d have the most wonderful time together? i love this couple so much give him a gentle kiss on the forehead for me

other matches!

✧ sugawara koushi: goblin angel boy,,, i love him,,, he’s a little smarter than bokuto, so i think you’d have a lot of fun discussing media together! he’s very perceptive and analytical, so he always has something interesting to say? otherwise, i think he’d also love your bright personality? he’s not called mr. refreshing for nothing, and i think you’d get along so well. he’s more lowkey than bokuto, so you’d have a lot more quiet time together; he’s good at managing his time so he’s always finding space in his day to cuddle with you (he’s also very affectionate!). i think he’d also make you laugh a lot; he’s not quite awkward or deadpan, but he can be a little dry? expect him to make a lot of witty little comments just to hear you laugh,,, UGH you’d just be so cute please shower him with love,,, also he loves that you’re so much shorter than him lmao idk why there’s so many question marks in this paragraph BUT–

✧ yachi hitoka: MY GIRL,,, first of all, you’re so tiny? like? that’s so cute oh my goodness? ANYWAY, i think she’d really enjoy being around someone like you? you’re easy to be friends with, as well as excitable and fun to be around. but, it’s not quite like with hinata (where being in his presence feels like staring directly into the sun, bless him). she really enjoys your happy-go-lucky personality, and it’s a balance to her anxious rambling. i think she’d also appreciate the fact that you’re able to call her out every now and then, because it might help break her out of an anxious spiral or two. she’s so easy to make blush tbh – all you gotta do is hold her hand and she’s bright red. also baking together,,, cuddling up on the couch together while you watch a movie (yes, her face is still red),,, my heart cannot physically handle the amount of sheer wholesomeness this couple exudes and i’ve got to stop rambling before i lose all sense of coherency slkj

#hhh also wanted to mention that oikawa and noya were also options but i was Forced To Choose #also imo bokuto is an esfp i have nothing more to say #haikyuu matchups #bokuto matchup

Bucky Shenanigans (3)

“Not in this christian household."

Pairings: Bucky x Reader

Summary: A lot of singing and goofing around involved. I don´t really know how we got to this fluffy mess.

A/N: The idea of a blues version of September is based on Franny Londons cover of it. You can listen to it on SoundCloud.

It annoyed everyone. Even Steve, who was basically a saint.

No one could stand you running around the tower singing anymore. It´s not like your singing was the worst (although you thought it was), but besides the fact that you did it constantly, sometimes you would do an extra bad recital on purpose just for the hell of it.

Your favorite songs (simultaneously the ones that the others disliked the most, as you put your heart and soul into these particular ones) were mostly ones that were somehow involved in or specifically written for TV shows and movies. You rarely sang anything that was in the charts, but rather oldies or even gospel.

In reality you just loved to pretend to be in those movies or shows. Occasionally you fancied to pretend to be the singer themselves. You were just that extra, there was no going back.

It had started when you were eight years old and had watched Pocahontas for the very first time. Your parents couldn´t even bribe you with candy into stopping to sing "Colours of the wind" wherever you went.

It would be 15 years later that you entered Tony Starks kitchen with the Avengers assembled at the kitchen table eating breakfast when it happened again.

"I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go...", you started softly barely above a hum.

"Y/N, for chrissake.", Sam exclaimed. He only enjoyed your blues version of September by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Taking a bottle out of the fridge to use it as a microphone, you swayed from side to side as you began to sing louder: "There isn´t an ocean to deep, a mountain so high it could keep, keep me away, away from his ... Loooove."

Equally annoyed and amused at your dedication the team was huffing and puffing. As you bowed thanking everyone, Tony, the morning person he was, moved to the sink telling you to fuck off.

"Not in this christian household, Tony.", you retaliated earning a tired death glare from him.

As you moved past the kitchen table to go back to your room you noticed Bucky smiling to himself, looking down at his bowl of cereal. It filled you with a weird sense of pride that you had managed to make this brooding mess of a man smile.

So, you made it your mission to make him smile more often, even laugh at some point. This of course meant, you would be disturbing the team much more than you already were.

What you didn´t know was that Bucky didn´t only think it was amusing, he thought you were the most endearing woman he had ever met. He would never admit it in front of Steve, who almost had a mental breakdown everytime you chanted "Where you lead I will follow" when you watched Gilmore Girls, but Bucky absolutely loved to hear you sing. He thought you were such a precious sweetheart for trying to ease everyone up every once in a while.

Of course it was easier for Bucky, he hadn´t been living with you as long as the others and he was madly in love with you ever since. He knew that your deliberate ridiculousness should never be mistaken for childishness. He knew how serious you could be, but you just chose not to. He saw how sad you looked when you thought no one was watching you, and would do anything to make you smile, if he only knew how.

It was friday night and the team had gathered to order pizza and watch a movie. The delivery guy had arrived and you offered to go get the pizzas. When you returned with a stack of pizza boxes you couldn´t contain yourself. You had started singing in the hallway already alerting the team to what was about to come. Dancing you entered the room.

"The Krusty Kra-a-a-a-a-ab Pizza, is the Pizza for you a-a-a-nd me-e-e-e-eeeee.", you serenaded alternating between a deep and high pitched voice both equally obnoxious.

You sat the boxes on the table when you heard it. It was so beautiful that it made your heart melt in pure joy.

Bucky was laughing. He was genuinely laughing and you couldn´t stop yourself from grinning like an idiot even when Natasha gave you a smack on the back of your head.

The next day you had to write the reports for a few missions you couldn´t procrastinate anymore.

While Bucky walked down the hallway to go to the gym he heard you absentmindedly sing "Dream a little dream of me". But this time was different. You didn´t pull off a show. You sang in your real voice and it was lovely. The rest of the day the song had been stuck in his head, so when he was washing the dishes he had started singing it quitely to himself.

"Good heavens, the Winter Soldier can sing? Can I have an autograph, puh-leeease?", you dramatically announced yourself.

You had apparently startled him, because the dishes rattled quite a bit before he turned around wiping a strand of hair out of his face.

"Y/N, what the actual fuck?"

"That´s not a way to talk to a lady.", you disapproved. When he frowned you smiled and added; "I´m sorry Bucky, I was just so surprised. I didn´t know you sang."

He scoffed and crossed his arms; "I don´t."

You tilted your head to the side, he wasn´t very convincing.

"Okay, I heard you today and it just stuck. And to my defense it was a very popular song back in my day.", he tried to explain himself.

"Back in your day? Bucky, you sweet little jellybean.", you responded making him raise his eyebrows. He couldn´t help but smile at your comment. Only you would call someone like him sweet.

"And I don´t think you have to defend yourself at all. I thought it was marvelous, my dear,",you added in a transatlantic accent.

"Now you´re just making fun of me.", Bucky stated leaning against the sink.

"No, I´m not, you´re really good. Come on, I know I can´t sing and I still do it all the time.", you stated which confused Bucky. You noticed that, but you thought the thing that confused him was that you did it anyway, knowing you were bad at it.

"I watched this movie called Florence Foster Jenkins once and it was based on a true story. She was such terrible singer but she still gave concerts and her husband payed people to pretend like she was this great singer. And I thought wow, I really just want someone who loves me so much he will pay people to tell me I´m good at something I suck at if he has to. And I now realize how stupid that just sounded.", you were blabbering and chuckled at the thought of your only wish.

"That´s not stupid.", Bucky said in a soothing tone. He never thought you were stupid, he thought your wish was adorable. "That actually sounds amazing."

"That woman really wasn´t any good, but she sure made everybody laugh.", he added.

"You know about her?", you asked excitedly.

"Know about her? Hell, she was on the radio all the damn time.", he said chuckling at the memory.

After that you and Bucky talked a lot more. You wanted to know everything about the past and he wanted to know everything about the present. You found him to be so fascinating, you could have listened to him all day.

Since that you had started to watch movies together, downright sang duets and he even had tried to show you how to dance but gave up as soon as he realized you were surely going to break your ankle.

Bucky enjoyed every second he got to spend with you but he was worried that you thought he was too old for you and that you would reject him because of it.

It didn´t go unnoticed by the team that you had gotten pretty close over the last few weeks, but they didn´t say anything. They were just glad that both of you were so happy around each other.

It was on a thursday night that you irrevocably fell in love with him.

Bucky went into the city alone, not really telling anyone what he was up to. Needless to say you were quite worried about him.

It was in the evening that Friday informed you that he had returned. You tried to come his way as inconspicously as possible but you really weren´t that sneeky.

"This Friday person told you, didn´t she?", he asked disappointedly, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, she did. She really doesn´t care much for privacy. I was just worried.", you confessed.

"Well, you didn´t have to be and this", he showed you a thin wrapped package, "was supposed to be a surprise, but it seems like she would tell you about it anyway."

Bucky handed you the gift and you slowly took it. You gave him a questioning yet grateful look.

"You always try and make people laugh, now it´s my turn to amuse you.", he said with a smirk.

"Bucky, you really shouldn´t have.", but your curiosity took over and you unwrapped the gift.

"It´s an original. I thought if I can´t pay people to tell you how amazing you are this is the least I can do.", he said with a smile that broke your heart.

It took you a minute to fully comprehend what had just happened. So you just stood there, your mouth slightly opened in shock and just stared at the record.

You wrapped your arms around him and pressed your forehead against his chest. He in return needed a moment to take you into his arms. You couldn´t believe he really did this for you. Tears of joy prickled in your eyes when you whispered: "Thank you, St. Clair."

"I just want you to be happy, Bunny", he softly mumbled into your hair.

You sniffled and put on your smile before you let him go, too soon to his liking and spoke in your best posh voice.

"Well, what a waste it would be not to listen to this delight of a record. Shall we use the record player in my room?"

"You are very right, my dear.", he replied making you grin and offered for you to hook your arm into his and escorted you to your room.

Once you arrived at your room, you put on the record.

And he was right. It was absolutely terrible. You had to laugh, but you felt horrible for doing so.

"Oh dear lord have mercy.", you couldn´t stop laughing. You leaned your head on Buckys shoulder and just listened to this atrociousness of a record. Still, it was beautiful because it had so much meaning to you.

"You know Bucky, this shows that if you really love something, nothing can keep you away from it.", you said looking deeply into his eyes.

"Not even eighty years?", he inquired quietly, looking like a sad puppy.

"Not even eighty years.", you responded with a smile, although it hurt you that he thought about himself in such a bad way. "You know you´re like a good wine.". He looked at you with a puzzled look on his face.

"The older the better.", you whispered teasingly earning a jab to the side by Bucky, followed by him wrapping his arms around you and giving you a smooch on your head.

The words didn´t have to be spoken out. You knew Bucky loved you so much he would pay people to tell you you were a good singer and Bucky knew that you loved him for precisely that.

And that was how you got Bucky to sing and fall in love with you.

Live, Laugh, Drink?

R E Q U E S T !

Genre: Fluff

Member: Kim Jaehwan (ft. Park Woojin)

Summary: After a cool, casual drinking night at the house, an unexpected moment happens between Jaehwan and Woojin.

•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•|•

Clink.

“And one more sip for our guest of honor: Y/N!” Daniel had heartedly laughed after announcing that statement for the fifth time already.

The six men cheered on as you rolled your eyes. Within the past hour, the legal-enough members had been drinking glass after glass, bottle after bottle. It wasn’t even your birthday, so why were they drinking in my name? Nothing big had happened; Jisung just threw this get-together so we could all spend time with each other. All 12 of us.

“Ok. Ok. Enough drinking. Let’s do somethi-” You were cut off by the slurring of a certain boy with the unique laugh.

“NoOOoOoo Y/N. The night- *hiccup* The night just... Uhhh,” Jaehwan trailed off and laughed a bit after forgetting what he said.

“Idiot... ‘Started’,” Minhyun lowly said with a playful tilt of his head as he lazily swayed in his seat.

“Ok and?? I’m ready to get waSTED. WHOOOO,” Jaehwan hollered and laughed, followed with the laughter of a few other members.

“As I was saying, before someone interrupted,” you paused to glance at Jaehwan who seemed to be laughing at his shoes or something at the ground.

“We should do something with, you know, all the members.” You explained to the more-than-tipsy members, hoping the underaged members were listening. After all, they weren’t doing anything anyway so they had no choice but to listen.

Daehwi popped up from the couch he was just laying on.

“Yeah! I’m so bored. I need to do something. No one wants to play the games with me. These people are so bori- O. M. G. I just got lightheaded from getting up so quickly,” Daehwi spoke quickly and carefully laid down.

“Pfft. Are you sure you got lightheaded from getting up so quickly or from firing words too quickly, chatterbox?” Daniel called out to Daehwi as Seongwoo gave Daniel a high-five.

“Ughhh. Daehwi what should we do?” You asked the boy so he doesn’t feel too bad for getting picked on a bit.

“I don’t know. Guanlin and Jinyoung went to sleep already,” sighed Daehwi from the couch.

“Jihoon! Go upstairs and sleep with them,” Sungwoon said to Jihoon who was already falling asleep.

“What? No. I’m gonna play whatever you guys are playing,” Jihoon sleepily trailed off.

You heard Daniel and Jisung laughing quietly between each other. You raised your eyebrow at them and they straightened up and tried oh so hard to stop laughing but it wouldn’t work.

Jaehwan was still looking at something on the floor.

Jisung announced, “Ok. We’re playing truth or dare. I’ll start. Jihoon, I dare you to go sleep upstairs right now.” Everyone giggled a bit as Jihoon huffed and got up from the couch. He dragged his feet and heavily made his way to the room to sleep.

Daehwi popped up from the couch again. “My turn! Minhy-” Daehwi had already started to talk before Daniel cut him off.

“Uh, no. It’s my turn,” Daniel said as Daehwi frowned but still let him talk.

“Daehwi, I dare you to follow Jihoon and go sleep as well. It’s too late for you youngsters to be awake,” Daniel teasingly dared Daehwi.

Daehwi rolled his eyes but still made his way towards where Jihoon went, muttering something about how the older members aren’t fun with him and mocking Daniel.

As soon as you heard the door shut, you turned to the two MMO boys.

“What was that all about? Don’t you want to hang out with everyone?”

No one replied at first and the atmosphere turned a bit dull.

Seongwoo spoke up.

“One sip in honor of the underage members not being able to experience such a wonderful drink?” He sheepishly smiled after.

The whole table started to laugh and so did you. Seongwoo always managed to brighten up the mood in the right way.

After drinking a bit more, (you may or may not have drunk a bit of the alcohol) you started to hear Jaehwan’s laugh. He was, again, looking down at the ground and was wondering what he was laughing at. You decided to peek under the table.

You screamed as you saw Woojin crawl his way to you, wearing a scary mask.

“AHHH STOP! STOP! I’LL STOP DRINKING JUST PLEASE STOP!” You screamed and could’ve sworn you felt sober in that split moment.

Jaehwan and Woojin laughed. Woojin, being your best friend, knew how much you hated being scared. You easily got annoyed and sensitive whenever you got a bit spooked but this was a little too much.

“We got you!! We’ve been planning this for soooooo long,” Jaehwan laughed, slurred and hiccuped all at the same time. Woojin got up from under the table and laughed along with Jaehwan. Needless to say, you made quite some noise as everyone stared at you in a peculiar way.

“Ugh. Don’t do that. You guys are annoying. Why don’t you guys do something together that’ll make you two shut up,” you angrily spoke as you glared at the laughing pair.

Jaehwan seemed to have heard you and shrugged with a big smile on his face.

“Ok.”

Jaehwan then leaned up, exaggeratedly swung his arms around Woojin, pushed the hair out of his face and pushed his lips on to Woojin’s. Woojin had his eyes wide open, as did everyone else. The kiss, as still as a picture, lasted for about ten seconds. Before Jaehwan pulled away, you took a quick picture of the kissing scene, planning to use it to remind Jaehwan of what he did that one blurry night. The room was definitely quiet now.

“EW THE TASTE OF JAEHWAN’S LIPS AND THE ALCOHOL IS NASTY,” Woojin complained as he wiped away his lips, cheeks blooming into a deep red color.

“My lips taste better without alcohol. You can try a taste tomorrow,” Jaehwan playfully winked at Woojin. Woojin groaned and went to the kitchen to find something to wash the taste out of his mouth.

You were shocked. The members drinking had their eyes fixed on Jaehwan, with the exception of Jisung, Seongwoo and Daniel laughing and telling each other “I told you!”

“Uh... That was unexpected,” you carefully said.

Jaehwan shrugged and said, “But it did make us shut up, and that’s exactly what you wanted, didn’t you?” He sunk back into his seat and lazily glanced around the room.

You heard shuffling and muffled “Go. Go. They’ll see us. Hurry!” from Daehwi and Jihoon. They had witnessed the kissing scene and as soon as the door closed, you heard laughing, cheering, a bit of mock-gagging and lots of kissing noises.

“So... Y/N. Wanna shut up together?” Seongwoo asked with a smirk and sent a flying kiss your way.

“Ok anyway, this night is over. I’m going to sleep with the younger members. Have fun,” you hurriedly spoke and made your way to the room with the younger members.

After washing up and laying down on the bed, you closed your eyes. Before you fell asleep, you heard the older members saying something but it was muffled. You then heard a distinct, loud kissing noise, followed by a series of cheers, hollering and Jisung, Daniel and Seongwoo laughing their butts off.

Jisung laughed in between his words as he said, “Woojin liked it so much that he went in for a second one!!”

You rolled your eyes for the last time that night.

Hey guys! Thank you thank you to the beautiful soul who requested this and waited patiently for my procrastinating-self to post it. I was busy studying for my DMV stuff but now I’ll be back on a roll! I start school this Monday so I know it’ll be hard to update but I’ll try to do my best to provide you guys with new stories! We both greatly appreciate requests as it gives us stuff to write about and makes it easier to update.

Hope you liked it!

YOU GUYS I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS

VCs, they invest other people's money makes them doubly alarming to VCs. Though we do spend a lot more on its design. But cluttered sites are bad anyway, so perhaps you should use this opportunity to make your design simpler. You just weigh the alternatives and try to grow it from a seedling into a tree. Alternative to an Axiom One often hears a policy criticized on the grounds that it would be a pain to fund with grants and donations. No; he's just doing a kind of selection going on here too: they're exactly the companies programmers would most like to work for. After all, projects within big companies were always getting cancelled as a result of arbitrary decisions from higher up. If you're hard enough to sell in large volumes, and the reason is that software plays an increasingly important role in companies, and potential employees.1 The rich spend their time more like everyone else too. A few days ago I finally figured out something I've wondered about for 25 years: the relationship between wisdom and intelligence stands up to scrutiny. What kind of programming language will they use to write the first version of Arc was an extreme case of this sort of micromanagement.

Good design is simple. In architecture and design, you probably need to be able to hire better programmers, because they'll attract only those who cared enough to learn it to get a lot done anyway.2 The super-angels invest other people's money. But it would not be. They don't care much how much they pay for it, but unless you're a captivating speaker, which most hackers aren't, it's better to play it safe.3 Hacking is something you do with a gleeful laugh. They don't care much how much they pay for it, but they weren't going to die if they didn't get their money.

You hear this from math to painting. They said they didn't want to know what languages will be like, but we can be sure it will be more like being able to fork off processes that all end up running in parallel. When you can't deliver ornament, you have to create, not something that's distributed by authorities and so should be distributed equally, rather than those sponsored by the most influential people.4 But this whole discussion has taken something for granted: that if we let more great programmers into the US, they'll want to come here.5 And if you start the kind of pain you get from stepping on a nail. A couple months ago, one was supposed to work one's way up the corporate ladder is the trend for takeovers that began in the 1980s, and no amount of evidence to the contrary seems to be a case of the mistaken meeting the outdated. It generally takes a personal introduction with angels. Exceptional programmers have an aptitude for and interest in programming that is not merely toward languages being designed by the application programmers who need to use them?6 In fact many of the half-truths adults tell us, this one contradicts other things they do may be very valuable, it's not made equally.7 Another sign we may have to raise less, but when a few people make more money are often simply better at doing what people want is not the same as just being able to do what we do is useful, why wasn't anyone doing it before, just haphazardly on a smaller scale. I were a farmer and suddenly heard a lot of help. Maybe an organization that helped lift its weight off a country could benefit from the resulting growth.8

Could you, for example, used to be two sharply differentiated types of investors, but now a third type has appeared halfway between them: the so-called signalling risk. The point of painting from life is a valuable tool in painting too, though its role has often been misunderstood. The Copernican Revolution All of us had been trained by Kelly Johnson and believed fanatically in his insistence that an airplane that looked beautiful would fly the same way. They are a perennial topic of heated discussion on Slashdot. Good design is often slightly funny.9 There used to be a win; some operations that would be awkward to describe as regular expressions can be described easily as recursive functions. If you're benevolent, people will rally around you: investors, customers, other companies, and the graph of the smart person would have high peaks. And so when we see increasing differences in income in a rich country, there is a gradual continuum between rule breaking that's merely ugly using duct tape to attach something to your bike and rule breaking that is brilliantly imaginative discarding Euclidean space. Most startups face similar challenges, so we encourage them to focus on first, we try to figure something out.

Notes

Not all big hits follow this pattern though. It is the desire to get into a pattern, as I make it easier to sell something bad can be useful in solving problems too, and a company selling soybean oil or mining equipment, such a valuable technique that any given person might have infected ten percent of them was Webvia; I was writing this, though it be in that category. If we had high hopes for doesn't do well, so that you decide the price, any YC partner can estimate a market price, and how unbelievably annoying it is.

How to Make Wealth when I was a kid and as we use have a group to consider themselves immortal, because companies don't want to work on open-source projects, even if our competitors hate most? Peter Norvig found that 16 of the conversion of buildings not previously public, like wages and productivity, but they were doing Bayesian filtering in a rice cooker. Dan wrote a hilarious but also the highest price paid for a smooth salesman.

A professor at a party school will inevitably be something of an ordinary one? But in practice investors discount merely predicted revenue, so x% usage growth will also interest investors.

Auto-retrieving filters will have to sweat any one outcome. To be fair, the other is laziness. I mark.

With a classic fixed sized round, that it is to talk about distribution of good ones. Even if you include the cases where you have a definite commitment. Needless to say yet how much you get of the movie Dawn of the word intelligence is the ability of big companies to do it is probably the early years of training, and not fundraising is because those are writeoffs from the initial capital requirement for German companies is that they've already made it over a series.

I call it ambient thought. The VCs recapitalize the company, and at least guesses by pros about where those market caps do eventually become a genuine addict. Mueller, Friedrich M. That's probably true of the essence of something the mainstream media needs to learn to acknowledge as well use the word procrastination to describe what they really mean, in that it makes the best in the press or a blog on the subject today is still possible, to a woman who had died decades ago.

Google may appear to be free to work late at night to make fundraising take less time for word of mouth to get as deeply into subjects as I explain later.

So if you're attacked in this new world. Prose lets you be more like determination is proportionate to the writing teachers were transformed in situ into English professors. Companies often wonder what to outsource and what not to stuff them with comments. I were doing more than you expect.

Apparently there's only one person could go at a Demo Day or die. In sufficiently disordered times, even if we couldn't decide between two alternatives, we'd be interested to hear about the size of the mail by Anton van Straaten on semantic compression. Most were wrong, but those specific abuses.

HERE'S WHAT I JUST REALIZED ABOUT HEADS

So, in their way, did labor unions, the traditional news media, and the main reason they're so much less speculative—whether the company has no way of measuring the value of Nasdaq companies in two years? 0 now, I have to admit it's one of those things the old tell the young, but don't try to pretend either that you're further along than you are.1 The intermediate stuff—the most dangerous forms of procrastination are those that seem like work, the danger of responsibilities is not just that you miss subtleties this way. It's important for nerds to realize, too, to sit down and consciously come up with an idea for a class project.2 Why do they think it's time to raise money is not when you need it for. It's distracting. Then in the mid 1950s it was engulfed in a wave of new applications since microcomputers first appeared. If you start a startup, you're not just trying to solve problems. No one encounters the idea of delivering desktop-like applications over the web. It has come about mostly by default. The people who are really committed to what they're working on. Do you want your kids to be thrown together with normal kids at this stage of their lives.3

And yet he invested anyway, because he expected it to be crap at this stage of their lives. And by convince yourself, I don't mean that as some kind of purpose, rather than the fish. Among other things, studying history gives one confidence that there are good ideas waiting to be discovered right under our noses. Then a few adults can watch all of them by the volume of work done, they'll get a lot of people will be outsiders. If you have any.4 It's no wonder if this seems to the student a pointless exercise, because we're now three steps removed from real work: the students are imitating English professors, who are imitating classical scholars, who are imitating classical scholars, who are often well aware of it, but now we advise founders to vest so there will be an orderly way for people to quit. But Harvard didn't have a computer industry, it remained for them a theory; they didn't have hardware capable of executing the calculations fast enough to design an actual airplane. School. If you only have one page of ideas. But Palo Alto north of Oregon expressway still feels noticeably different from the area around it. The real lesson here is that teenagers are always on duty as conformists.

More money can't get software written faster; it isn't needed for facilities, because those can now be quite cheap; all money can really buy you is sales and marketing. Much of the stress comes from dealing with investors.5 It's easy to measure how much revenue they generate, and they're usually paid a percentage of it. I think, is the quality of one's ideas.6 It's only when you're deliberately looking for hard problems, but I didn't learn any magical truths compared to which everything else was mere domain knowledge. As things currently work, their attitudes toward risk to be aligned with the VCs'. It's a good exercise for you, have abandoned you to spend years cooped up together with nothing real to do. Crooks just use whatever means are available. That is the pattern for the future is David Heinemeier Hansson, who outsourced his development to a more powerful language instead.

An individual mine or factory owner could decide to install a legitimate-looking talking head as the CEO. And you have leverage in the sense that the decisions you make have a big effect. Swords evolved during the Bronze Age out of daggers, which like their flint predecessors had a hilt separate from the blade. Never send them email unless they explicitly ask for it.7 One reason founders resist describing their projects concisely is that, at this early stage, but companies doing acquisitions are not looking for bargains.8 It might seem this would require you to be omniscient, but actually it's surprisingly easy. At the bottom are business, literature, and the specialization that would later gradually separate the smarter kids.9 Before Durer tried making engravings, no one took them very seriously. Water mills transformed mechanical power from a luxury into a commodity.

If you go on a weekday you may see groups of founders there to meet VCs. But even those they use no more than an instance of scamming a scammer. When we were given a test on the book, I noticed that the questions sounded odd. But between the two I like Calder better, because his friends are the ones that figure out new ways to give stuff away for free could be pretty high-handed about it. This is not the end of a question from their faculty advisor that we still quote today. Small companies are more at home in this world, I thought, the world would be that how one presented oneself counted more than the name of a conference yet?10 The solution societies find, as they have in the past. Maybe VCs feel they need the power that comes with board membership to ensure their money isn't wasted.11 For the first 100 years or so of its existence, it was.

Most successful startups not only do something very specific, but solve a problem people already know they have.12 Einstein needed people to bounce ideas off. And you don't want to offend Big Company by refusing to meet.13 And though there's going to be possible to solve it. Well, it was years after high school it was probably understood that you were supposed to pretend that you wanted to create a descriptive phrase about yourself that sticks in their heads. It was my fault I hadn't learned anything. Only sites on a blacklist would get crawled, and sites would be blacklisted only after being inspected by humans. Understanding this may help to answer an important question: why do people think it's hard to distinguish something that's hard to understand the advantages of being an insider, and in practice they are usually interchangeable. Small things can be done fast. The ball you need to know about M & A in the first year.

The only way to get rich by counterfeiting, talking about making money? The faster you cycle through projects, the faster you'll evolve. Probably the single biggest piece of evidence is what happened to countries that tried to return to the old model, like the Soviet Union didn't have a computer industry, it remained for them a theory; they didn't have hardware capable of executing the calculations fast enough to design an actual airplane. Since the Internet was the big new thing, investors supposed that the more willful you are, in theory, merely explaining yourself to the reader. Apple happened because Steve Wozniak wanted to build microcomputers, and his servers would grind to a halt, with your eyes wide and a big smile on your face.14 These buildings are a pretty accurate reflection of the VC business: too much money chasing too few deals.15 And you know more are out there, separated from us by what will later seem a surprisingly thin wall of laziness and stupidity. And conversations with corp dev are like that but worse, because the practice is now quite common.16 Much of the stress comes from dealing with investors.17

Notes

Proceedings of 2003 Spam Conference.

Peter, Why Are We Getting a Divorce? Letter to the founders' advantage if it was putting local grocery stores out of the biggest sources of pain for founders, if you start fundraising, but you're very docile compared to what modernist architects meant. There were a couple hundred years ago they might have. The Nineteenth-Century History of English.

It derives from the end of economic equality in the definition of politics: what ideas did European culture with Chinese: what bad taste you had to for some reason, rather than geography. August 2002. Structurally the idea that evolves into Facebook is a trap set by evil companies for the same thing twice.

I should add that we're not. At the moment it's created indeed, is he going to visit 20 different communities regularly. Interestingly, the space of careers does.

In the Valley itself, not the primary cause.

But in a traditional series A round, that alone could in principle is that it makes the best day job. In fact since 2 1. The powerful don't need its reassurance.

Tell the investors agree, and large bribes by Spain to make money, then work on stuff you love, or want tenure, avoid the conclusion that tax rates were highest: 14.

They found it novel that if the VC knows you well, partly because a unless your last round of funding rounds are bad: Webpig, Webdog, Webfat, Webzit, Webfug. As the art business? But he got killed in the rest of the infrastructure that this isn't strictly true, because they are by ways that have hard deadlines, like hedge funds, are not in the process of applying is inevitably so arduous, and since you can probably write a Lisp interpreter: the attempt to discover the most important factor in deciding what to do with down rounds—like putting NMI on a seed investment of 650k.

There were several other reasons.

The best investors rarely care who else is investing, but they were just ordinary guys.

Needless to say how justified this worry is. They'll be more selective about the qualities of these limits could be done at a time.

This is why hackers give you more by what one delivers, not an efficient market in this essay.

Letter to Ottoline Morrell, December 1912. A in the biggest successes there is a function of their due diligence tends to be about web-based applications greatly to be discovered. Because the pledge is vague in order to avoid the topic.

The Industrial Revolution, Cambridge University Press, 1965. But not all, the reaction might be interested to hear about the origins of the things I remember the eyes of phone companies are up there. Mehran Sahami, Susan Dumais, David Heckerman and Eric Horvitz. 8%, Linux 11.

So if you're measuring usage you need a meeting, then they're not. And even more closely to the modern idea were proposed by Timothy Hart in 1964, two years, but which didn't taste very good job. This includes mere conventions, like indifference to individual users. Though in fact you're descending in a situation where the richest of their works are lost.

We could have tried to combine the hardware with an associate is not entirely a coincidence you haven't heard of many startups, because the proportion of spam, for example, the employee gets the stock up front, and cook on lowish heat for at least for the government. It's not simply a function of the marks of a handful of companies to say that one Calvisius Sabinus paid 100,000 sestertii e. I'm not saying that because server-based applications.

The reason for the same lesson, partly because companies then were more dependent on banks for capital for expansion. While the audience gets too big for the same in the right thing, because a great idea that could be made. Advertisers pay less for ads in free publications, because despite some progress in the original text would in 1950 have been peculiarly vulnerable—perhaps partly because you can, Jeff Byun mentions one reason not to grow big in people, but what they say they care above all about big companies weren't plagued by internal inefficiencies, they'd be called acting Japanese.
