List of tawog hcs because I'm bored you guys
(processing that charlie is a bimbo now, this is how I cope)
• gumball fuckin hates being picked up, held, petted or just touched in general. He's one of those assholes cats who will kill you on the spot if you breathe the same air as them.
The closest one who got to even hug him or just touch him for more than 2 seconds was Darwin. Gumball's mom literally had to fight gumball as a toddler to pick him up
Penny though, penny gets the favorite person privilege and gumball lets her pick him up, kiss him, boop his nose, anything. Deadass the only one who can do it.
• speaking of gumball not liking to be picked up, penny, knowing she can, does it whenever she has to kiss him somewhere that isn't the forehead or the top of his head because this guy is so short.
He lets her too.
• Darwin can't pick shit up or hold anything because of his fins, so his handwriting is so bad he can't even read it. he always asks gumball to get notes in class because his brother can write better and nicer than him but gumball just sleeps through the classes. So.
• Anais did get her father's metabolism. She hates it.
• gumball does that thing where he speaks to the wall and stares at empty spaces like some cats do, Darwin is convinced gumball is possessed or someone lives again in the house without them knowing. (because gumball did that whenever rob moved around the basement and Darwin associates Gumball talking to the wall to another secret room with a dude living there again) he called an exorcist for the house before. Or for Gumball. He needs it anyway.
• Anais actually has to wear glasses to see well, and red especially. Gumball should wear glasses to see from a distance and he does have glasses for it, he just doesn't wear them. Darwin does does see pretty good, he just can't tell how far something is (he bumps into walls a lot for it.)
• deadass everyone in the family is colorblind, aside from maybe darwin. they think gumball and nicole are blue because it's all they see. they don't know it's the actual fur color.
• gumball's favorite color is orange, because of Darwin, he just doesn't call it orange. He says "whatever color Darwin is."
• Anais Is the only one who actually wears shoes, gumball is neutral on shoes as he also used to wear them but he just stopped, then Nicole and Richard just hate having shoes. (We don't count Darwin.)
• Darwin's only kind of flexible part are his legs. He's super envy of gumball's ability to fold like paper
• whenever someone in gumball's class talks about LGBTQ+ or anything about that topic they all just say "oh yeah I know that one!! Gumball is part of that club or something"
• penny was the first one to get that gumball is bisexual she just has no idea that it has a name so she just says that gumball is "gay but not all the way" but she loves him still for it
• Tobias actually did try to go for the guys to try and flirt, deadass only Leslie actually did give him a chance
• Alan is the one who is actually informed about things like lgbtq and all, he always tried to educate the others about it
• gumball has fights on Twitter Daily because he thinks it's funny. Alan says he's being mean (gumball gave him a side eyes for 10 minutes for it.)
• gumball vs dream actually did happen and it was peak drama at Elmore's jr. High for a while like it was for us (it was too iconic not to make it actually happen)
• masami only went with Alan because she wanted a bf because in middle school it's kind of a big deal about it- she actually likes girls.
• gumball is actually aware that he's a cartoon and that he's the main character, reasons why he doesn't hate rob and takes it more on the playful way, it's all a script anyway.
• tall strong girlfriend (can turn into a dragon and can kick your ass) & her small and weak as hell boyfriend (can't open a jar of pickles and has to ask her for it.) for gumball and penny
• my guy Darwin is into goths and emos. (Carrie)
• Anais also argues on social media whenever she can get access to it, but she actually writes down smart and true facts while gumball says directly "kys" to piss people off
• bobert tried to date a tv before (he had a crush on the computer in SpongeBob)
• ocho uses terms like "fr","lol","lmao" irl and everyone hates him for it
• gumball is the only one who knows the difference between geek and nerd. Or smart words or synonyms kids just don't use, and he always uses them whenever he has to convince someone to do something for him because he sounds smart but he's only saying bullshit in a smart way
• Darwin doesn't understand half of the things Gumball says so he just agrees.
• ms simian hates how much gumball yap. That's why she doesn't care if he falls asleep in class, because she gets some peace from him
• gumball is smart, he just has no care for school. Sometimes he pulls out actual good arguments and complains about society about things only Anais or his mom gets and Anais is Always surprised for it. (The more he yaps about stuff like this, which is everyday, the more she's convinced aliens are real and they replaced his brother)
• gumball is not a morning person, he actually is super pissy and snarky if he wakes up before noon. (Reasons why he just hates everybody at school constantly)
Darwin is a morning person, and he always talks a lot in the morning (gumball hates him for it. Did try to tape Darwin's mouth.)
• Anais Is also a morning person, she just isn't too happy about waking up this early like her brothers because of how young she is.
• Gumball can't eat chocolate, and like any cats he's lactose intolerant (he still can tolerate milk a little because he's a kitten), and he always gets extremely sick from chocolate or just- throws up with lactose. He still eats both.
same goes for the rest of the Watterson, gumball just forces himself to eat both. (And also uses it to his advantage to skip school)
They all have no idea why gumball keeps on getting himself sick from it.
Btw chocolate and lactose ain't good (chcolate is toxic for cats.) for bunnies and cats- and fishes!! That's why my guy reacts badly to it
• neither Nicole or gumball can taste sweets, or anything sweet really. Still, gumball's favorite food is chocolate (and cheese.) which is ironic because he loves to eat it but it's tasteless for him, and he gets sick from it. He's truly a creature.
He likes the texture of it though, that's only why he eats both.
• penny feels like non-sticky peanut butter. Gumball is always looking for a way to knead on her for it, because it's relaxing (and because kneading is also a cat's love language.)
• gumball always forms half a heart with his tail whenever he's talking near penny, or together with her, because normally cats form a heart when they walk side by side, but penny has no tail. So it's only half a heart.
• Darwin is a tryhard on sports, Anais is a tryhard on academics, gumball just likes to sleep because he avoids doing anything that he doesn't find necessary (like any cat, really.)
• Penny likes listening to rock, gumball just enjoys listening to anything he likes the melody of.
Carrie likes to hear stuff like mlp opening, Darwin is with penny on this one.
Anais Just likes daisy the donkey's opening, really.
• Gumball is an introvert and just hates people, Darwin is an extrovert, the little guy is just a little shy.
• you know gumball has a stupid plan in mind when he starts calling Darwin things like "my fishy friend" instead of buddy.
• Darwin always watches documentaries about animals, specifically cats and bunnies because he wants to know about his family more.
Once he tried to slow blink at gumball and the kitten was just confused as fuck, but appreciated the gesture. He only understood it because Darwin stared then really slow closed his eyes.
• gumball sometimes pulls those deep sleeps and Darwin always thinks his brother died. Anais has to comfort him for hours until gumball wakes up
• Nicole is always overworking herself because of trauma, and sometimes envies how laid back her eldest son is.
• gumball can actually draw really well, art is probably the only class he scores in.
• gumball and Nicole actually hear everything I'm the house and they hate it.
• gumball has a tendency of calling everyone nicknames because he can't remember anyone's name for shit.
• gumball uses at his advantage the fact that he's considered cute because he's a kitten. he gets free stuff from it.
• Darwin tried once to mimic gumball loafing, did not end up well.
• all of the videos, or most of them, of cats on Elmore's YouTube are about gumball. He's that one cat that is being constantly recorded doing shit like stealing people's food at restaurants, breaking in by accident, just randomly coming up to people, stare, then go away, accidentally falling from the ceiling. Anything a cat does, gumball does it and gets recorded.
This is one of the reasons why gumball specifically is known by ANYONE and either they love him because he looks cute, or they are terrified of what shit he can pull. (Depends on the day)
• Gumball gets free food because people like to pet him and hand him treats. He doesn't complain about it, even if he doesn't enjoy petting (which is the only thing he complains about, so he just moves his head and gets the treat.)
• when gumball was younger he had darker fur, and at night it looked like he was a black cat (same problem was for Nicole), so he was not allowed to go around alone on the streets, especially on Halloween because people tend to be aggressive or straight up kill black cats during halloween. The same rule was for Nicole, especially because she was also a girl.
• gumball just likes sleeping around, especially during the day. People need to look for blue shit around because it could be gumball.
• gumball fuckin HATES wool, he can't stand it. he'll go insane with wool, and it's texture and how it feels on his body. Darwin instead loves it, but doesn't wear it (he doesn't wear anything aside from shoes.)
• Nicole almost cried when gumball first sat on her lap to loaf. she's very emotional on the whole family thing. And also Gumball never does it to anyone, she feels loved, that's it.
• Richard's favorite kid is most definitely gumball, they both enjoy slacking around, it was their best bonding moment (and still is.)
• surprisingly gumball is better with kids, Darwin is not. Anais Just hates kids her age.
• Darwin is more of a people pleaser, gumball is just really firm on his own boundaries. And now he's also firm on Darwin's.
• gumball, when he was really small, just did not talk. he enjoyed meowing more (to his father) and thrill or mrrp to his mom. He only ever talked when he needed something and neither get what he wanted.
Then Darwin came and he started yapping constantly to the fish, who had a hard time talking because of his new features like feet, lungs and an actual voice.
gumball is those types of cats who yap a lot, Anais is just, silent (like bunnies that make no noise) and Darwin learned to be also a yapper, just a very bigger one than gumball.
• Darwin has the habit of eating fish food still, sometimes he just goes in the bathroom, fills the bath with water, puts fish food, gets himself in and eats.
• gumball drinks like actually cats do, Nicole does it as well.
• the Watterson deadass go to the vet, people like Leslie or Carmen go to arborists or generally people who know plants and take care of 'em. Like maybe 2% of Elmore's population goes to a doctor.
• gumball loves fireworks, but hates other loud noises like thunder. Anais HATES fireworks, but doesn't mind things like thunder.
• Leslie hates vegetarians and is almost glad gumball is a forced carnivore (gumball annoys Leslie with the fact his father and sister are technically "vegetarians".)
• gumball zoomies are almost nonexistent because of his shenanigans he pulls everyday, they always tire him out so he doesn't get zoomies.
• Gumball got accused of being the devil with how stupidly chaotic he is to the point he's the terrorizer of Elmore. Gumball is proud of it. His mother is very much not.
• nicole is the "man of the house", but this is because of cats being matriarchal. And Richard just will not go against his wife's words.
• Tobias feels like non sticky cotton candy, you could potentially stick you hand in there and find his actual body which is hidden under all that rainbow cotton candy thing.
• dude, gumball fuckin hates the boys in his class because they just don't care about hygiene and it just bothers him on another level. he's exactly like normal cats where he spends like half of the day cleaning themselves.
Regarding this, Darwin's only problem is that he constantly smells of fish (which he's self conscious about, and always worries about bothering gumball) but really gumball always tells him it's okay because he can't help it
(he forces the other classmates to take a shower though.)
• mr.small is just always high, there's no other explanation for whatever he's on.
• gumball talked so much about penny that Darwin had to tell him to shut the fuck up. (Gumball kept going)
• gumball has severe beef with Billy's mom to the point he's daily sabotaging her life just so she can move to another town and stop bothering gumball with her existence.
(Darwin is sick of gumball's bullshit)
• gumball swore once. (Reference to the video of gumballs VA saying "fuck") And when he got elected as school president once he won by saying "I will eliminate the middle class" (again gumball's VA saying it)
• gumball always tells rob "gay gay homosexual gay" to the point rob screams at him, like just yells at the top of his lungs and runs away crying
• "GET OUT OF MY GARDEN"
"I'LL SHIT IN YOUR FUCKING GARDEN" from south park but it's gumball and half of Elmore.
And I'll stop because I'm writing something longer than the bible

I have somthing I really need to say, I don't get how FL could be popular, I mean if you think for a moment about it even OG Katarina is morally superior to the Heroine in Maria and all The Capture Targets in the story, I mean nothing against an Evil protagonist or a good antagonist, but than don't portray Katarina as a Villain and Maria as a hero ! That's wrong! Katarina leaves Maria completely alone in both the Nicole and Alan route, meaning she only opposed Maria when she's trying to seduce HER fiancée or mess with her family or do both in the Harem route!
Than the fact that she's accused of bullying those bellow her station is bulls* she only bullied Maria who I just said why she did it and Keith whose arrival at HER HOME turned HER PARENTS against eachother when she was a Child! That doesn't make it right but she couldn't know that this wasn't his fault, and his own original family wanted to kill him! Luigi saved his life and that's how he thanked him ?
than Geordo she gave almost half her life up to that point in complete support and devotion to that mother fu* and he swore an Oath to marry her! I don't think many people get how bad a possible future king breaking an Oath is especially considering Geordo's Grandpa's actions,
further more Katarina actually don't mistreated dose below her status, first her Maid Anne who despite being related to Nobility is herself a Commoner just like Maria and Katarina even in FL verse treats her like a Sister more than a servant!
Next there's Sianna, she's the bottom of the barrel of Nobility and still Katarina cherished her more than anyone else! This makes the claim of her bullying people for their status down right nonsensicaly!
Especially when she's the only one who never partake in bullying everyone's favorite Target Sophia Ascart, since we see in VOD is never once mentioned that she did so when Sophia joined her book club, that would have had to be brought up than ! Meaning is the only Noble Girl who didn't bully Sophia! (Except Marry) and it's even implied she discouraged others from bullying Sophia!
When Bakarina in verge of doom just assumed OG Katarina bullied more people and wanted to apologize during VoD judgment event no one spoke up! And that Is most likely because she never bullied anyone other than the Girl who tried to steal her fiancée and/or shame her family!
Also, it's said that Katarina's bullying was only on the very edge of Criminal, meaning she never really committed a crime, the one attacking Maria with fire was Noelia, who acted on her own accord!
Keith and/or Geordo basically rigged the Trial to get Katarina stripped of her status and exiled which is a way to hard punishment anyway! When she comes back with dark magic she didn't even kill someone for it! She just had it !
And that idiots in the development team must have believe that this made her appear more evil since she's just born with the "bad magic" but instead it just means she didn't kill anybody for it ! Right OG Katarina is not a murderer and the idiots of the FL development believed Katarina being NOT a murderer makes her more evil than people who literally commit murder to get the same magic! what does that say about their Character ?
I heard a lot about people saying something for a Original Katarina redemption arc and I really hope she gets an happy ending, she deserves it but what people need to understand is Original Katarina dosen't need an redemption arc because she has not done anything so bad that she deserved getting to that point anyway, instead she deserved a pretty enormous apology from Geordo, Keith and Maria
To give her a redemption arc basically means recognizing Maria, Geordo and Keith, Cheating, betraying,Oath breaking and manipulate a Chords to commit prejudice as a good thing, Original Katarina shouldn't have to apologize to them! They should have to apologize to her! Even when something like that calls for ways more than an apology! And first of all her entire sentence should be revoked !!!! + there has to be compensation for everything she had to go trough!!!

seventeen going under (j.f) (ch.4)
seventeen going under (j.f)
AN: hey guys! hope you enjoy part 4! let me know what you think!
synopsis: jeremiah plans a picnic and YN attends the deb ball tea
Tumblr media
catch up here
As I rushed out the front door, Conrad stood at the end of the walkway, a box of good muffins in his hands. "I brought these for you," he said to me after I stopped dead in my tracks.
"I had some yesterday," I told him. Although, that never stopped me before. The Cousins beach muffins were the only muffins I would put in my mouth. "Thanks though." I headed down the path, cutting through the grass to avoid being too close to him.
"YN," he called after me. I turned around and forced a smile on my face. He looked tired. I doubt he slept at all. We looked at each other for a little too long before he opened his mouth, shut it again, and then said: "Is your mom home? Maybe she'd like them."
"She's inside," I told him. He started to walk toward the house when this time, I stopped him. "Do you even remember last night?" I scoffed a little bit, unable to bite my tongue.
His eyes seemed to soften and I didn't really know what part I was even referring to: the fight, Nicole, him playing with my hair. Maybe all of it. "I remember everything when I drink," he said quietly. I felt my throat swell and I turned around and walked away. He didn't stop me this time.
Belly was at the kitchen table when I walked in. She was eating the last bite of her cereal and milk dripped down her chin when she smiled at me. “Hey!” She said, mouth full of Fruity Pebbles. “What are you doing here?”
“Came to check on you,” I said, squinting and leaning in on her to see her eyes. It surely was black. “That looks rough.” 
“Oh, it doesn’t hurt that bad,” she chuckled and lifted the bowl of fruity milk to me. “Want it?” She offered. I shook my head in disgust and she sighed. “Where’s Jeremiah Fisher when you need him? I always feel bad putting it down the sink.” I laughed and pulled out a chair at the table as Belly rinsed her bowl. Jeremiah always drank our cereal milk. I thought it was disgusting, but he just absent-mindedly grabbed it every time I was finished and I didn’t have the heart to protest. 
“How was Cam last night?” I sang. She turned around and leaned her back against the counter, trying to hide her smile. "That good?" My eyebrows raised and I danced in my chair, eager for her to tell me the details.
"It was nice. He drove me home and then asked me if I wanted to go on his whale-watching boat this morning," she said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders.
"You went on a whale-watching boat?" I gawked. She laughed, smiling wide, nodding her head. "Did he kiss you?" She nodded again. "Isobel Conklin, you little player!"
"He's nice," she said. "I like him."
"I'm glad you like him," I told her. I was happy for her. She was always like a little sister to me and to see her glow, made my heart glow just as bright. "What's on the agenda today?" I asked, changing the subject.
“My mom and Susannah are gonna take me shopping for the deb tea tomorrow,” she said, smiling wider. “Did you pick out your outfit yet?” I shook my head and looked down at my fingers in my lap. The deb ball. I forgot. “Do you wanna come with us?” She offered. 
I shook my head again. “I have to meet Jeremiah at the country club later, so I don’t think I’ll have time. I’m sure I have something in my closet.” 
Belly nodded solemnly but then she smiled softly. “Well, if I see anything you’d like, I’ll pick it up for you, okay?”
I should never have agreed to the deb ball, but when Susannah Fisher is looking at me with her pretty blue eyes, smoothing down my hair, and telling me it would be perfect I couldn’t really tell her no.
My mom protested. I could hear them arguing softly in the kitchen one night as I sat on the steps in my pajamas. My cellphone was clutched in my hands and I bounced my leg impatiently. 
“She’s gonna be beautiful, Mary. Why can’t you just trust me? All the girls in Cousin's do it,” Susannah tried to reason. I could hear the wine glasses clinking on the counter. That’s the line she used on me, too. 
“What about Belly? Are you making Belly do it?” My mom asked. 
“I haven’t asked Laurel yet but I do intend on getting her an invite, yes.” There was a little bit of silence. I could almost see the look on my mom's face if I focused hard enough into the darkness of the foyer. Annoyance. Frustration. Guilt. I didn’t know then what I know now. Why Susannah asked me and Belly to be debs but I bet my mom did. “I bet Laurel will say the same thing. Come on. Jeremiah will escort her.” 
I almost choked on my saliva at that part. Jeremiah would never escort any girl to the deb ball. Every year he scoffs at the girls entering and exiting the country club with their frilly hats and gloves on her their hands. He’s always made fun of them. Conrad, too. It was always just a joke. Last year, we made fun of Conrad for months when we found out he was escorting Nicole, even if it was a last-minute escort switch. Nicole needed a date and Susannah needed to help everyone. I couldn’t even count the number of girls Jeremiah had turned down.
My mom sighed and finally said okay and I ran back upstairs and into my room. When I told Jeremiah about the ball, he laughed. He said, “No way in Hell am I escorting you to the ball. Have you seen those tuxedos? The cummerbunds? It’s laughable, YN. And you agreed to do that?” He laughed so hard he couldn’t breathe. I tried to shush him as if my mom and Susannah could hear him all the way downstairs. 
“Yeah, I did agree to it. Your mom asked me. How can I say no?” 
“Like this: no,” he said and laughed some more. 
“Jere, come on. She’s gonna ask Belly, too. Are you gonna make fun of her like this?” I asked. I shoved my feet under my sheets and wrapped my arm around my knees. 
“Yes.” 
“Jere.” 
“Okay, okay. If you’re serious, I’ll support you. But I am not escorting you,” he said as if that was final. I mumbled fine and that was the end of the conversation.
Now, as Belly talked about shopping with her mom and Susannah, I was envious. I was sure my mom would take me shopping if I asked, she was just so opposed to it when Susannah brought up the idea, I didn’t think she really wanted much to do with it and truthfully, I’d be sad shopping without my mom. 
“Is your mom excited?” I asked. “About you being a deb?” 
Belly scoffed. “Absolutely not. She thinks it’s sexist and outdated. Yours?” 
That sounded like the Laurel that I knew. “She hasn’t said much to me but I overheard them talking a while ago and she wasn’t very happy, either,” I told her. She gave me a soft, sympathetic smile and then shrugged. 
“Oh, well. The things we do for Susannah Fisher, right?” She laughed. I nodded my head in agreement and then we spent the midmorning watching crappy tv shows and eating Cheetos right out of the bag and licking our fingers and grabbing more. Right before 1, I excused myself to go see Jeremiah. Belly winked at me on my way out and I couldn’t help but blush just a little bit.
I pulled up at the country club at exactly 1 and Jeremiah was leaving the pool area as I was entering. “I thought you forgot,” he said, relief flushing in his cheeks. “I was looking for you.” 
“I’m exactly on time,” I said, laughing at him. He grabbed my wrist and led me to the parking lot where the Jeep was parked. “What are we doing? Don’t you have to eat?” I glanced back at the club longingly for the food counter that Steven worked out. I would die for a lemonade right about now. The July heat was creeping into late June. 
“I may have prepared,” he said, opening the back hatch of the Jeep. There was a little picnic basket in the back and a pitcher of fresh lemonade, the lemons still perfectly intact. “Just a little.” 
“When?” I couldn’t help but chuckle. I couldn’t imagine when he had time to do this, especially considering I called him on his way to work but he just shrugged and smoothed out the blanket on the trunk of the car. 
“I may have snuck off duty when the other lifeguard came in and had Steven make a few things,” he said nonchalantly. “Thirsty?” I nodded and he poured out a glass of lemonade for me, sticking a lemon on the rim of the glass. I took it gratefully and sat down on the blanket. Jeremiah moved closer to me, still standing on the pavement. I could see the sunburn finding a home on his shoulders from sitting out in the sun all day. 
“You should wear more sunscreen,” I commented, using my free hand to gently run my fingers over the redness. He shrugged as if it didn’t hurt and I made a note of the freckles that were forming.
“I do wear sunscreen,” he said. 
“You should wear more,” I replied. 
He smirked gently and said, “are you going to rub it on me?” I laughed outwardly, shaking my head and Jeremiah’s smile grew wider. “What’s so funny?” 
“You flirting with me is funny,” I said. He waved me off and reached behind me for the picnic basket, grabbing a sandwich. It was a turkey club with extra mayo, his favorite. “Where’s mine?” I asked. 
“I don’t know, go ask Steven,” he teased, unwrapping it and taking a bite. I would have stolen it right from his hands and eaten it myself if I liked mayonnaise, but I hate it, so I let him be. “It’s in the basket,” he droned. I smiled and turned around, digging for mine. There were grapes, bags of chips, a few chocolate chip cookies, and two sandwiches for each of us. 
“Where’s the ice cream?” I ask jokingly. I was more than pleased with what he had done for us.
“I thought I could swing by after work and take you to go get some,” he suggested. My eyes narrowed at him, suddenly suspicious of what he was up to. I remembered the bonfire. I remembered every second of it and it made my heart twirl and my stomach flip, but I kept my mouth shut. 
“What have you done with my best friend?” I asked. Jeremiah put his hands on my thighs and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and then he smiled and it got worse. “First a picnic and now ice cream after work?” My words caught my throat like a fish on a wire and I felt like my voice cracked. 
“I can’t just be nice to you?”
“When are you ever?” I teased, finally unwrapping my sandwich in my lap. I didn’t want to look at him. I didn’t want his hands on my thighs anymore because they were burning.
“Always,” he remarked, removing one hand and holding it to his heart like I had stunned him. “I’m always nice to you.” I just shrugged even though that was mostly true. Between him making fun of my glasses and the way that I run in the sand, he stays up late with me and talks about anything and everything even if he hates it and he always brings me ice cream and French fries when I ask. He was always perfect. “So is it a date?” He cocked his eyebrows up and set his hand back on my thigh. 
“You can pick me up, yes,” I replied. Careful not to repeat the word date. He didn’t show any emotion on his face and I held my breath as I tried to decipher what he was feeling. I don’t even think he noticed I didn’t call it a date. He tucked a piece of loose hair behind my ear, his fingertips trailing down my jawline. “Jere,” I breathed out. 
“Mmmh?” He mumbled, tilting his head to the right, a small smile playing on his lips like he knew the game he was playing and he knew it was risky. For the second time in two days, I thought Jeremiah Fisher was going to kiss me. 
I cleared my throat and pulled away subtly, grabbing my lemonade and bringing it to my mouth. I couldn’t kiss him. God, I wanted to. But I couldn’t. 
“What’s wrong?” He asked, suddenly very serious. 
“Nothing,” I said as cheerfily as I could. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make him back off a little bit as he shrugged his shoulders and picked his sandwich back up. “Thank you for this,” I said, gesturing toward the food. “It was really nice of you.”
“Anything for you, YN,” he said. “I mean that.” 
“What about the deb ball?” I asked, knowing it would make him groan in displeasure. Which he did. Truthfully, I hadn’t thought about it much but Belly got me thinking about it earlier and the tea was tomorrow which meant it was time to start looking for a date. 
“I already told you, no.” He was shaking his head rapidly, his curls falling in his face. “No, no, nope. No way.” 
“You just said you’d do anything for me,” I teased, kicking at his thigh with my foot gently. He watched it and I felt my legs go numb as his eyes trailed up them and back to my face. Almost like he was taking a mental picture to remember the way my body looked for later. 
“Anything but that,” he clarified. 
“Then I’ll just have to find another date,” I said, shrugging as if it were no big deal to go with someone else. I don’t even think I knew anyone else that could take me. I almost thought about asking Conrad at that moment, but maybe it was time to look for a summer fling to occupy my time.

“You’re gonna need a beautiful dress. And a hat! A small hat! I’ll find you one, a nice one!” Susannah exclaimed over the phone later that night. She called me before they went shopping with Laurel and Belly, begging me to come with her. I could almost feel her smile in her words. I was getting ready for Jeremiah to pick me up, so I declined as I brushed out my hair to get rid of all the tangles in it. After the picnic in the Jeep, I walked back to the pool with him and as I hugged him goodbye, he lifted me off my feet and tossed me into the pool but I couldn’t be mad because he cannonballed in after me and wrapped me in his arms under the water. 
When I got home, my stomach full of mint chocolate chip, a beautiful yellow dress was hanging on the door of my bedroom. My mom peeked her head out her own room and whispered, “pretty, right?” 
“Yeah,” I said, nodding my head. “It’s really pretty.” The dress was a canary yellow
with a sweetheart neckline and little white daisies sprinkled all over. “Did you buy this for me?” I turned to look at my mom and she had a smile plastered on her face and nodded. 
“Susannah picked it out, of course, but I thought it was perfect for you.” I walked over and hugged my mom tightly. She wrapped her arms around me and the familiar smell of home washed over me. 
Now, as I messed with the hat on my head in the front seat of my mom’s car, I hated that I agreed. “Why did I do this again?” I asked her. She laughed at me and kissed my cheek. We were parked at the country club and I was trying to make the hat stay on right but it kept falling off.
“Because you love Susannah. That’s why.” She reached over and made sure the hat was on straight as she got one final look at me. “You look beautiful,” she said.. “Call me when you’re finished, okay? There’s Jeremiah,” she said, pointing out of the front windshield. Jeremiah was walking in his lifeguard uniform (flip flops and red swimtrunks) and he was carrying a pile of clean towels. 
“Love you,” I said to her, hugging her over the middle console before getting out. 
I shut the door behind me and when Jeremiah saw me approaching, he smiled wide and said, “look at you! In a fancy hat!” I laughed and curtsied, tilting my hat down in the process. He tapped it with his free hand. “You look very pretty,” he said. 
“Walk me up?” I asked him. He smiled wide and jogged over to the golf cart that was parked only a few feet away. He set the towels down and linked his arm with mine. 
“I thought you’d never ask,” he said. “What’s on your dress, anyway?” He asked, squinting down to my yellow dress. I suddenly felt self-conscious, shying away from his gaze only for him to pull me in a little bit tighter. “Is that snow?” He laughed. 
“They’re bees!” I told him, dropping my jaw as if I were offended. He extended his arm, his fingertips trailing down my arm until his hand was in mine. He twirled me around and I laughed as I crashed back into his chest. He held me too close. I could feel his heart beating against my hand. “I’m gonna be late,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Jeremiah nodded and we started moving again except this time, he was holding my hand. 
As we walked up the stairs to the ballroom, I could hear the music playing softly. “Are you nervous?” Jeremiah laughed gently, looking down at our locked hands. “Your hands are sweating.” I pulled my hand away from his quickly and wiped them off on my dress. “It’s okay!” He went to reach for my hand again when an older lady stuck her head out of the ballroom door at us, glaring as if we were interrupting. 
“Jeremiah Fisher,” she said. “Nice to see you.” Jeremiah straightened and bowed in front of the woman, grabbing her hand on his way up and kissing her knuckles. Jeremiah spent a lot more time at the club than I ever had. Susannah was a huge contributor and my mom, well, she wouldn't be caught dead in one of these.
“Paige.” He winked and then gestured toward me. “This is YN YLN, one of the girls my mom told you about. My future wife.” He looked toward me and winked. I felt my cheeks turn bright red and I stuck out my hand for Paige. 
She didn’t take it and instead told me, “you’re at table 2. It’s time for you to leave now, Jeremiah.” 
I mumbled “bye” to Jeremiah and he squeezed my elbow as I walked to table 2. I breathed a sigh of relief that Belly and Shayla were already sitting down, waving me over with a huge smiles on their faces. My heart dropped when the only empty seat was next to Nicole. 
“Finally you’re here,” Belly said, adjusting herself in her chair to face me. Her knees were touching mine and he filled the empty glass in front of me with water. “I was starting to wonder if you were ever gonna show up but now I see why you were late.” She winked at me and giggled like a little school girl. 
“Jeremiah looked good,” Shayla said from next to Belly. “You know, compared to last year,” she added. “He really grew into his muscles.” 
“Oh, you like Jeremiah now?” Gigi, a girl that I recognized but barely knew, said from a few seats over. She was pretty in an effortless type of way. Much like Belly and Shayla. They never really had to try that hard. 
“She’s too busy making sex eyes with the waiter,” Nicole teased from beside me. 
“Gross, that’s Belly’s brother,” Shayla said, shaking her head and looking down at her lap but I could see her blushing under her hat. 
“Steven is serving?” I whispered to Belly. 
She nodded at the same time that Nicole said: “Gigi’s had a crush on Jeremiah ever since he got abs, right Gi?” That comment was more important than Steven serving and I looked over at Gigi who was shaking her head and blushing and the light banter between the girls seemed to have faded away because all I could picture now was Gigi in a swimsuit begging Jeremiah to save her. 
“Are you two dating?” Gigi asked, her question brought me out of the water and back to the surface. 
“They’re practically family. More so than Belly and the boys, right?” Shayla said, turning to me for clarity. I nodded, although that wasn’t much of the truth. The Fisher’s were my family but Jeremiah, Jeremiah was the one.

Just Pretend
Chapter One:Princess of Santo Padre
Tumblr media
"Curiosity often leads to trouble"
-Alice in Wonderland (1951)
~~~~~
"¿Tienes algún plan hoy, niña?" (Do You have any plans today baby girl? ) My father asked as I helped him bring in my luggage to abuela's house and into the spare room.
I simply shook my head.
"No, other than going to lunch with Emily. You know she's going to have my head if I don't come meet her and Miguel's son" I replied, finishing off a tight dutch braid of my hair.
"¿Por qué? ¿El club me necesita?" (Why? Does the club need me?) I paused briefly.
He simply chuckled and came over to me, kissing the top of my head.
"tu dedicación a este club me hace pensar que eres miembro de este club" (Your dedication to this club makes me think you're apart of this club) he replied. I simply smiled and finished off the second braid.
"I'm going to head out, they need me in templo.. something about going to base town." He spoke, placing a kiss on my head and heading out the door.
I simply smiled and stood up, walking him to the door and making sure he put on his helmet when riding.
"You know, it's almost like you care about his safety more then me, Fleur" I heard from my best friend. I simply flipped him off.
"Angel, leave her alone. You and I both know she will gut you like a pig" my father spoke and I shook my head.
Its always these damn men.
As i finished getting ready for the day, my phone went off, noticing it was Emily I smiled and answered.
"If you're calling to ask me to babysit absolutely. I'll watch my god baby" I smiled, picking out the days outfit.
"I was actually calling to see if you wanted to have lunch. Miguel is busy doing some kind of work and I don't want to stay in the house with Dita.." Emily spoke, the irritation in her voice evident when she spoke of Dita.
"Emily.. I love you to death. But give me a break on the Dita thing. That's your mother in law..you have got to understand her side of things" I replied. I decided on a simple pair of leggings, a nice and flowy t shirt and a pair of converses. It was extremely hot today in Santo Padre, I wasn't going to try dying just because I wanted to look cute.
"Nicole.. I do understand her side. But she's just so... pushy. Its as if she wishes she was me instead of in her own position. " I could hear the frustration and decided just to bed it. I didn't want to deal with her anger.
"So, where for lunch?" I asked, grabbing my jacket and purse.
"Just here. If its okay, Nestor is picking you up on the way to Miguel."
I sighed. Nestor was Miguel's best friend, and he was merciless. A beautiful, but very troubled man. He was Miguel's right hand, and also his best friend.
As I went to go outside to my car Nestor was already there in the famous black escalade.
"Yeah, he's already here Em. I'll see you soon!" I smiled, hanging up.
I peered at Nestor, whom seemed to be as enthused with me as I was him.
"You gonna let me sit up front or am I still subjected to the back seat?" I asked. He stared me down, the dark orbs of his eyes peering back at me. He cracked a smile and shook his head.
"Always a pleasure, Fleur." He opened the passenger door and waited for me to get in.
" Don't call me that, Duendecillo" (gremlin) I climbed into my seat and put the seat belt on, not trusting his ability to drive. Nestor scoffed and rounded to the drivers side of the vehicle.
"You really ought to give him a chance, Nicole. Hes not that bad." I heard Miguel say from behind me.
"Jesucristo, Miguel. Tienes que dejar de hacerme esa mierda sabiendo muy bien que tengo un corazón débil." (Jesus christ, miguel. You have got to stop doing that shit to me knowing damn good and well I have a weak heart.)
Miguel laughed, shaking his head. Nestor got into the vehicle and put his sunglasses back on, pulling out of the driveway.
"And give him a chance for what? To teach me how to braid my own hair?" I turned in my seat to face my bestfriends husband. I started playing with the end of Nestor's braid, much to his disapproval. I smiled and yanked it a bit, just for him to turn his attention towards me and give me a look that would normally make me melt, but only added fuel to the fire.
"I can't wait to kill you" he simply spoke, and I sat back in my seat.
"First of all, you can't. Emily would have your head and bitch to Miguel which we both know won't go over well. Secondly, where the fuck are you driving? Did you braid your hair too tight because this isn't the way to the estate" I replied. It wasn't a lie.. we weren't even headed in the same direction as Emily and Miguel's home was.
Miguel coughed uncomfortably in his seat, and I looked at him through the mirror. His eyes screamed for me to just please give him a break from our bickering and I sighed, knodding.
Eventually we did stop at an abandoned building, and a group of motorcycles stood outside the entrance.
"Wait, Miguel. Why is my father and the MC here? What's going on?" I asked, turning in my seat.
"It's just a small detour for buisness. I asked the MC for a favor on something and they simply complied. I hope you don't mind.. I can have Nestor drive you to Emily and Cristobal shortly.." he continued but I shrugged.
"No, it's ok. I can visit my father for some more time. " I smiled quickly and got out of the vehicle, being met by my tio bishop.
"Niña, ¿qué haces aquí?" (Baby girl, what are you doing here?) He asked, giving me a quick hug. He was always so protective of me, especially since his son, my cousin, passed away a few years ago. I think he took to me as if I was his own daughter..which was fine. Between him, my father and tio Marcus I was the princess of the Mayans.
"Quick detour, I was on the way to visit Emily. They picked me up. " I replied, looking quickly at Nestor and Miguel.
My eyes set on Nestor, who was standing against the vehicle. His eyes seemed to be trailing me, and as they set on mine he quickly turned his attention away.
We walked in and there was a bigger man tied to a church pew, this must of been what my father was talking about when he said that they were going to Base Town. For some strange reason, Miguel put on a yellow rain coat and it made me giggle.
"Look at him! He looks like he's going to audition for the role of georgie in IT" I quietly spoke to Angel, causing him to giggle.
"Nikki, stop." He replied and I couldn't help myself, I kept going.
"What? Look at him! He about to start singing and shit about dancing in the rain!" I replied, laughing harder. The attention in the room turned to us and I shrugged.
"My apologies" I very quickly spoke, Nestor looking at me with an annoyed look on his face. I shook my head at him and flipped him off, adding what ever fuel to a fire i could.
Miguel turned back to the bound man, starting to question him.
"You ever meet her?" He asked, crossing his hands infront of him.
"Never in person. She'd give us a call or a text, gave us a drop point" the man replied.
"Where?"
"Indio Quarry. We used proxies to drop off the drugs, pick up the cash. Never saw a face..no names.."
Nestor grabbed a bag off of the table behind him, handing it and its contents to Miguel.
"Found this in your jeep. Payment?"
"She didn't tell us it was the cartel..I swear" the man replied.
"Bullshit, your men were told of the fact it was the Galindo Cartel when they robbed the MC. "I spat out, getting annoyed.
"Not now, Fluer. Please. " Miguel spoke to me, turning his attention back to the man.
"Was she.. American?" Miguel spoke.
"No.. spoke English, but she was latina i think. Young. She sounded young. " the man replied. He looked so scared, but I knew it was a guise. I walked to Nestor who was playing with various knives, and picked up a machete.
"Unless you plan on getting your shirt stained and having a meltdown, put it down." Nestor spoke, not bothering to even look at me.
"Nestor, I think you did your braids too tight. You're forgetting I don't have meltdowns over blood on me.. you forget so easily." I cupped his face, smiling.
I walked away from him with the weapon in hand, towards the man. As Miguel turned around I lifted the weapon, and swung it down on the man's arm. He cried out in pain, obviously. His blood splattered on my face, my clothes..
Some of the Mayans who weren't familar with me looked at me in terror, my father simply shook his head and Miguel sighed, shaking his head.
"Nicole... we have people for that. " he spoke, but I put my hand up.
"He basically took food out of Cristobal's tummy. It needed to be done. Besides.. pigtails over there shouldn't be the only one to have fun" i replied. I walked back over to Nestor smiling. The look in his eyes was something different and I just stared at him, using his button up to wipe the blood off my face quickly.
"Dont ever doubt me again, pigtails. " I said quietly to him and walked back outside.
This was going to be fun.

The Daily Dad
Things you might want to know, for May 21, 2023:
Tumblr media
Hot Wheels car designer Harry Bradley dead at 84 — Hot Wheels were —amusingly— a giant part of my childhood. I had several plastic storage cases full of them, one of which was molded to look like a Goodyear tire. My brother and I raced them down home-made courses because we used the official plastic strips of track to hit each other, I lingered over them in the toy aisle at Kmart like an art collector at a museum, and sat in my room making up elaborate stories for them akin to what girls were doing with Barbie. Only I never made my cars scissor with one another.
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’: Every Episode Ranked From Worst to Best — Any list that suggests there were 24 episodes of Buffy —an entire season!— worse than “Doublemeat Palace” was created by someone who is both sad and stupid. (Probably an AI.) I’m okay with someone preferring it to, say, “Beer Bad” or “Where The Wild Things Are”, but DP is a top five, all-time worst for the show.
Jim Brown, all-time NFL great and social activist, dead at 87 — It seldom gets mentioned, but he was also an elite lacrosse player in college, a nationally competitive runner in track-and-field, and a decent basketball player… there was pretty much no sport Jim couldn’t have dominated if he’d cared to try.
Can casual sex ever really be casual? — “Yes.” There, I’ve answered this piece’s insipid opening question.
Tumblr media
‘The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed’ Review: Joanna Arnow's Hilarious and Clever Debut
The Smiley Face Killers Conspiracy Theory Died Down. Then Came TikTok — PROTIP: the more ephemeral the medium, the less seriously you should take it… TikTok has nothing to teach that you need to learn.
How BDSM & paradoxes inspired director Zachary Wigon to make his new erotic thriller 'Sanctuary'
The Ephemeral Tattoo Studio provides tattoos that completely fade away after 1-3 years — I’m in favor of anything that makes a girl’s dumb decisions less permanent.
Tumblr media
Anna Nicole Smith's Father 'Tried to Have Sex' with Her After Playmate Party, Friend Claims in Netflix Doc — Of course he did.
I founded SNCTM, the world’s most exclusive sex club — it ruined my marriage — Of course it did.
Illicit sex parties enjoyed by Silicon Valley's finest at 'warehouses' — Of course they are.

QUESTIONS AND NUKES
Hello once again everyone! Wow, God is SO GOOD! We have fallen in love with this town and the opportunities here to connect with people have been outstanding. Both of our events today just about doubled in size and they were awesome! Honestly, we've stopped counting attendees because we are confident that God will bring who He wants.
Tumblr media
Today's focus in Sports Camp was on knowing your opponent. Malia taught the lesson, continuing on with the life of Moses. One of the points that stuck out to me is that sometimes your biggest opponent can be yourself. That is so true! Thanks Malia for teaching it so we'll. She made it relatable for a wide range of ages and I think everyone got it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We decided to eliminate volleyball because one girl was in it yesterday and she switched to basketball. There are lots of kids in basketball and four or so in football. It's been pretty fun. There are some real athletes out here!
After camp we went swimming at a pool club in Willows. Pastor Joe booked the whole pool for two hours and it was super fun. His family and another family from the church joined us. It was a great time! And btw - it was only about 97 degrees. That might sound hot, but that's 19 degrees cooler than the day we went to the lake!! Yep, that's right, it was 116 that day! The weather really had us concerned in the beginning, but it's really not bad now!
Tumblr media
Speaking of great times - BARF Night was just the best! We certainly love our BARF Nights with tons of people, but there's also something special about having a group of less than 30, including our team. The interaction is much more personal and there's opportunity for friendships to form faster.
Tumblr media
We played The Question Game tonight. The first time we played, Eva won! It came down to her and I and she schooled me. By the way, I'm not the type of guy to let the young people win, so it was legit.
Tumblr media
We went outside and played Nuke 'Em again at the end of the night. It's definitely the favorite so far! The game was epic and seemed to last forever. We actually ended the night 30 minutes late!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In between the games, Marcus and Eva shared their stories. They were both very different, but each one was spot on!
When Marcus shares you cannot deny that it is from the heart. He is a young man who is serious about his faith. His relationship with God is so real. He shared boldly tonight, even about some hardships. I see him developing into a rock. He is a calm, steady leader that can be consistently relied upon. It's such a joy watching him grow up. Love you, Marcus.
Eva was also a joy. She shared boldly too, and man, she preached it! She challenged those in the crowd to choose Jesus over anything else on earth! This is Eva's first trip with us because in the past she wasn't really interested in coming. God did an amazing work in her heart several months ago and she fully committed her life to Him. Praise the Lord!
I already told you that Eva preached it, and to prove it let me tell you what Pastor Joe's son Sebastian said after she shared. I walked back up, and he looked at me and said "you're about to lose your job!" LOL! How cool is that?!?!
Way to go Eva! Nicole and I are honored to be a part of your life and growth!! We are praying that you remain in Him for life!!
Also, Bailey bought some Beanboozled Jelly Bellys at the factory the other day. If you don't know what those are - DON'T GET THEM!! They convinced me to play the game with them and I had the absolute joy of eating a jelly belly flavor titled something like "Used Band Aid".
AWFUL!!
Tumblr media
In our family time tonight we challenged ourselves to take the conversations a little deeper. We are even discussing ways that we can help this happen. We will likely have a little more "hang out" time during BARF Night to allow relationships to develop. Please pray for God to open up doors for this to happen!
Thanks for your support!!

Can you do high school wayhaught? Waves is the head cheerleader but still the angel we know and love and Nicole is the captain of the basketball team but has the WORST temper (except when it comes to waves of course)
Head Cheerleader and most popular girl at school Waverly Earp
Badass and super bad temper basketball captain Nicole Haught
are the hottest and most popular couple at school
but it's funny bc they are the complete opposite of other
like Waverly goes volunteer every weekend, she has straight A's, she's in a million clubs
while Nicole has such a bad temper like anything can get her mad
she probably goes around and pushes kids into lockers or starts fights with them
everyone in the school is scared of Nicole and doesn't dare to mess with her
besides Champ and his friends, they don't care that Nicole can beat them up or anything
usually, the group with team up on Nicole in the hallways or after school and they would start something
but Nicole is stronger and would fight back
everyone is scared to do anything and usually one of them goes to find Waverly
honestly, Waverly is so used to this that she knows what to do
like when she gets there she pulls Nicole to the side or off to somewhere else
and whispers soft things to Nicole to help calm her down
it'll take about 10 minutes or so but it always does the trick
besides the fighting, Nicole is always in a bad mood in school for some reason
but when she's with Waverly she's ok
like they have lunch together and Waverly basically sits in Nicole's lap, which calms Nicole down
or if they are in class together they sit next to each other
bc if not Nicole would get mad or not pay attention
honestly, it's such a meme among their friends and families bc they are so different
but they don't care bc they are happy

the summer i turned pretty - 1x01 review because as initium said, i'm in a bad way
This is what happens when you've rewatched all of your shows to DEATH. You need a break.
I'm skipping the beginning of the first episode because I already saw it when it dropped and it made me violent.
So they're at the house now.
At least it's not a Beyonce song.
I do have to laugh at Conrad getting an ENTRANCE because, I mean, he's just a guy.
I didn't go back further enough. "You're growing up, you're in bloom." Oh jesus christ.
This is what I mean they don't talk to each other with any real emotion, they talk to each other like they're just delivering a line. "He didn't come last summer." "Well that's because we just got divorced but we're good now." I get the sense that Laurel is supposed to be not as warm as Susannah, she's supposed to be a little rigid and I guess insensitive/unaware of her children's feelings but even if that was the case, the way that line was delivered wouldn't be delivered that way.
Wow, Jere is WAY more annoying this season. When he's begging her to go into the ocean it's supposed to be charming, but instead he just sounds like a pest.
Oh, shit I didn't pass the country club part yet? Nope, skipping.
"Did you know my dad has a new girlfriend already?" I just feel like if you two were best friends, you would be having this conversation throughout the school year.
"OK OK we get it you've been working out" but that's not the same thing as aiming a phone into a basket.
So I thought Conrad and Steven were supposed to be the best friends? Like, I get that Conrad is sullen now because his mother is dying but if the previous dynamics were Steven + Conrad + Jere then Steven should automatically know something is wrong since Conrad is distant but he's aligned with Jere immediately. Unless I misread that.
Steven is just as annoying.
"Everything OK?" NO SHE WANTS TO GO TO THE BONFIRE LIKE A BIG GIRL WITH THE BOYS.
Cardi B. For a bonfire. OK.
This music. does not. go. AT. ALL. Please for the love of god, stick to Taylor Swift.
"Steven!" "Whaaaaaaaat are you doing here?" is literally the only time I believe them as siblings.
Belly. You called him over because you were uncomfortable. He's taking you away. And now you're SCREAMING? This girl is not a teenager she is just the worst.
This WOULD be a teenage moment if she called Steven over and he got Jumper away and she's like great thanks you can go now and he was like no no no come with me, wear my jacket, you shouldn't be here and she's like quit it. But screaming and then falling down (which I understand is supposed to be a gag) is ridiculous.
Stay home and watch a movie Belly.
This dialogue does not make any sense. "Who are you?" "WHO ARE YOU?" "Nicole. Conrad and I went to the deb ball last summer..." no no Nicole's not explaining herself to Belly, the next question is "Is she your girlfriend?"
"You're such a brat." Hahahahaha she's terrible.
"FUCK YOU" Belly. What the fuck?
Like OK I'm trying to play devil's advocate with myself. She goes to the beach to see Conrad and he's making out with another girl which she sees after falling down because her older brother is trying to get her to go home. This is a summer she's trying to get Conrad to see her differently. So she's embarrassed and she's lashing out. I can understand her frustration and her jealousy getting her to be like "I thought you said all debs were sheep!" but screaming fuck you at Steven is exactly why you're a brat, Belly. STOP OVERREACTING. Because your overreaction is what caused the scene not Steven guiding you away.
I didn't think there'd be a character worse than Jenny in GG but Belly is it.
Tumblr media
she looks like she's falling
Tumblr media
"You caught me on my way out" you went up to her and introduced yourself as Sextus, Cam.
So are we not going to talk about how Conrad makes out with a Black girl and his ex is dark-skinned and they're both disposable.
Cam and Belly are more tolerable to watch tbh. She almost does the twirly, giddy, omg a boy is giving me attention, nervous excitement naturally. Almost.
My brother is such a dick. Belly. Please. Shut up.
"I just knew it was going to be a bunch of kids getting drunk and I don't drink at all." oooooor "I didn't want to come, it's not really my scene, you know, I don't even drink, so..." that would sound WAY more natural.
LOL Jeremiah loves her so much. Also Jeremiah *sees Belly get elbowed in the face* oh, damn. you good?
"My name's Cam. Cameron." "Your name is Cam Cameron?" Jeremiah, how dumb are you? Really.
"Your hair's like a little kid's, the way it's always so messy." *staring* I'm sorry, this was supposed to be a moment?
OK so it's supposed to be this moment that Belly runs away from Conrad because she's going to do something for herself, she's going to see Cam, she's going to be more active but the implication is also that if Conrad wanted to do something she would always be available to him to do it and she's not doing that this summer so that's a shift in dynamics, which is why it would've been great if we saw her do the same habits at the beginning of the episode and then we saw that turning point at the end of the episode.
Again with Dawson's Creek it starts with Joey and Dawson talking about their friendship and how she thinks they're going to change and he doesn't think they have to and they share a bed together like they were kids because Joey gives into Dawson's arguments. At the end of the episode, Joey refuses to sleep in Dawson's bed, he insists that they're still the same, and she challenges him like OK if we are tell me what time of day you jerk off since we're still just friends and Dawson can't so Joey leaves because things HAVE changed but as she's rowing back across the street, he yells out the answer, signifying that they've changed but they're also still Dawson and Joey.

Because @jurysbane wanted it, a post about most of the main pdh casts sort of vibe of richness.
This is the girls part but the guys part will come too if any is interested.
I will warn that I’m not very good at describing aesthetics and I will probably mis-name them. So for that I apologise. But this is my poor attempt at it.
-Nicole
She’s old money. But she’s like Chanel type old money. Classy, polished, diamonds and pearls. Mother’s book club and father’s golf buddies type old money.
Her family has big fancy manors and you’d never find them looking bad. They’re not maximalists so much as they like a bit of decor here and there, and they’re the kind of rich vibe you’d find in a 00/10s drama. If you get what I mean.
-Teony
Old Hollywood vibes. Manors from what looks to be the 1930s, with huge conservatories with glass ceilings that look almost like greenhouses, and loads of land surrounding their houses. Plural. They’re that kind of rich.
Old Hollywood doesn’t just stop with their house. Her family members find themselves wearing very long, elegant dresses with oversized fur jackets. Even casually they find themselves overdressed. The men wear button ups and, again, oversized coats. Despite the heat and all. And they look like they’ve been taken out of a black and white movie.
-Katelyn
She’s pretty casual actually. Her family is new money, big suburban house, fancy cars kind of rich. Eric isn’t overly flashy and likes to have some sense of normality in their house (though cars make him and Katelyn weak, so they make an exception there) and he has so many kids he can’t afford to spend all of his money on a fancy house when he has expensive school feesx4 to pay.
Obviously this changes a little when Eric and Sylvanna start getting together. Because she’s got a vibe and she’s not letting someone she’s seen in public with mismatch. She just isn’t.
-Lucinda
I’m not even sure what it’s called. Her and Hyria live in a huge abandoned 1800s mansion that’s just overgrown with plants and nature. And obviously Hyria fixed it up to be liveable. But it’s just totally nature-Ified and it’s great. Ivy scaling the walls, large courtyard with plants just everywhere. It’s great. Hyria very much matches her own house, and she looks like a very cute little old lady doing it.
She herself dresses very gothic though. Rich gothic. Like she’s clearly got a lot of money, she just spends it on edgy stuff.
-Nana
She lives in Ru’aun with her aunt, who has a huge apartment in what used to be a really old fashioned manor, and the building still has a lot of its original character, like huge stone pillars and grand stair cases and everything. But it’s still got some modern flair. So Nana sort of matches her style to it.
Like she’s got some classic pieces, fur, pearls, whilst matching it with sunnies and cute little dresses. Sort of rich girl aesthetic?? But with slightly more elegance and stereotypical femininity thrown in. Like pink and lace and stuff. her and Teony share some pieces, she even shares some stuff with Nicole or Aphmau every now and again. But she makes them very modern, and girly, and cute and it looks good on her. As she gets older she learns to express herself better and leans into a more Lolita-esque, Victorian doll kind of look. But as a teen this is her vibe.

Hola Frank, ¿cuál es tu película favorita?
Hmm, hard question. I've seen a lot of movies! A few that come to mind off the top of my head: Sunset Boulevard, Brazil, and The Truman Show. (I haven't watched any Kubrick or Tarkovsky.) If you want me to be more serious about this ask then I could talk at length about how I feel about these films in particular; if not, here are some others for your consideration:
Fight Club (A++ movie)
To Die For (Owen Wilson is great in it but Nicole Kidman is great too)
American Psycho (Very good, very creepy -- Patrick Bateman's voiceover narration is really well done, which surprised me because usually voiceover narrators annoy me)
Spider-Man 3 (Not as good as the other Spider-Man movies but Tom Holland was fantastic in it)
There Will Be Blood (Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano were phenomenal together)
Lost In Translation (This one gets brought up a lot so maybe its reputation precedes it but I thought it was pretty dull overall)
Pulp Fiction (Still good even though Tarantino has made worse things since this came out -- it just feels like he hasn't learned anything from his mistakes yet?)
Casablanca (Great acting and dialogue, romance with an edge, also I love Bogart)
Gone Girl (Really fucking weird but somehow still compelling? It probably should have been better than it ended up being)
Rosemary's Baby (Wow, Mia Farrow was hot back when she had hair!)
Into The Wild (Jon Krakauer is such a pretentious asshole but this book is nonetheless amazingly gripping)
Point Break (That scene where Johnny Utah takes down Bodhi in the gym is still one of the best action sequences ever)
Princess Bride (It will never stop being funny watching Wesley get hit by lightning while trying to kill Buttercup)
Magnolia (You know what? This film is kind of bad but there's something unironically charming about its ambition anyway)
Vertigo (Of course Hitchcock knows exactly what everyone else thinks about him)
Dead Man Walking (Sean Penn is underrated)
The Passion Of Joan Of Arc (Arguably the greatest silent movie ever created)
La Dolce Vita (One day I need to watch all of Federico Fellini's stuff)
Aside from those, Blue Velvet (David Lynch is generally overrated but some parts of this movie are really excellent), Groundhog Day (More Bill Murray, duh), Taxi Driver (Robert DeNiro is incredible), Amelie (Too twee), Citizen Kane (Good movie but why does it always get talked about like it invented everything?), Moonraker ("No Mr. Bond... we don't do that!" "Then who does?" "The French.")

Chapter Warning: Fluff
<< Previous Chapter and Next Chapter >>
Tumblr media
Something had shifted. The air between them perhaps in the way they were so attuned to each other. Maybe it was the way the man would always be watching her even when he did not speak directly to her. Perhaps it was the way the girl would always turn her head in his direction whenever she would hear his voice. Or the way that maybe the outcast would never be more than an arm's reach away from her. People didn't notice right off the bat. The subtle glances, barely-there touches when handing things off to each other, the most inconspicuous way they would shift towards each other when one would be just a tad too far for their comfort. The kids at school didn't seem to pay attention and the Hellfire Club did not seem to notice right off the bat. Not until the excuses started. Eddie saying he'd forgotten something at his locker on days whenever Nicole was a little later getting her things, or when Nicole would say she needed to see the counselor; mandatory to see how the girl was settling in Hawkins. Other times the classic excuse was that Eddie or Nicole needed help with their homework and the other offered to help which resulted in going to either Eddie's trailer or sometimes; on prettier days out to the woods to that picnic table Eddie was familiar with behind the woods of the football field.
Was it love the two were sharing? Perhaps, Nicole didn't know what love was; having never truly had the chance to experience such things in her lifetime asides from her parent's love of course, and her cousins. She never really thought about boys or crushes before the accident; much too young to think of those and much more focused on her academics. But the girl would not deny the fact that her skin tingled and her insides warmed whenever they would touch; whether a brush of fingers, playful smacks, or a guided hand or arm around her. She could not lie and say that she did not feel a deeper connection to the man after that night in his trailer. He had opened up to her not only about the truth that other dimensions existed and creatures that only came from imagination's mind were real. But he'd opened up to her and allowed he to see the mess that he had become through touch. He'd allowed her to fee the jagged lines of torn tissue as it healed months before over regularly smooth skin; traced the uneven patches of sharp teeth that had torn into his flesh. His arms held a few smaller scars but the major one was his torso as the demobats had torn into him back in the Upside Down. Nicole had remembered how she had felt the tears race down her cheeks in hot trails as she'd listened to the uneven breath as she'd traced the scars; only imagining how bad they had looked.
But it wasn't just that night. After Eddie had sobered up from the high he'd indulged in that same night he had apologized to her in the morning. A sense of shame seemed to roll through every word as if he hadn't meant to show her the damage that he had endured. At first, she had felt a little hurt at the thought the show of vulnerability was not voluntary. But she'd shoved it aside and said it was okay. Still, even with that little jab in her heart Nicole didn't allow her better judgment to be clouded so she went about her school day normal.
"Hey, are you okay?" Eddie's voice broke her from her thoughts and she turned her head in his direction as they walked towards the parking lot.
"I'm fine Eddie." she smiled slightly. "Just fine, no worries!" she replied turning her head away but his hand on her shoulder stopped her and she was turned towards him
"Have I done something to upset you?" the was something in his voice as if he was scared of the answer and Nicole's faux smile dropped slowly as her head lowered; she was never good at hiding her feelings around Eddie.
"It's just…After our last talk I was hoping that perhaps we were…friends," she commented
"Friends? Of course, we're friends Nikki what are you talking about?" Eddie's voice was filled with confusion.
Feeling a little frustrated she reached up to grab his arms as he held her shoulders. "I mean…if we are friends then why did you feel the need to apologize for what happened? For…showing me what happened and telling me what you did? Which by the way I haven't told anyone about, definitely not Mikey or Dustin." she reassured quickly.
"It's almost as if you don't trust me" she added concluding.
Eddie was silent a moment before he turned and began leading her again through the parking lot where Mikey and Dustin were waiting by their bikes. "Hey brats, I'm taking Nikki to go get supplies for a project for her class," he called
"Bring her back at a decent hour this time Munson!" Mike called back and Dustin's comment echoed at the same time "And don't be late for the D&D campaign tonight!"
Nicole was so confused at first as she was dragged away and moments later helped into his van before he was in and beginning to drive. He didn't say anything for a while until the car parked and he turned to her. "Want a milkshake?" he offered out of the blue.
"W-what?" She blinked thrown off guard a moment. "A milkshake? Eddie are we going to talk about-"
"Chocolate, Strawberry, or Vanilla?" he interrupted her and her mouth snapped closed with a soft click. He was deflecting. But a milkshake did sound kind of good right now.
"Um…Chocolate please." her voice was small as she answered and moments later she was left alone in the car.
It took a few minutes but finally, he returned and placed a cup in her hand before his car was driving off again. What was going on? When the car was finally at a standstill many minutes later she could hear the chattering of people and the smell of grills making her realize that they were back at Eddie's trailer park.
"We are friends Nikki." his voice suddenly broke the silence. "I trust you. It's not that I don't it's just…I'm not the same carefree Eddie everyone thinks I am. I've been through shit, I've seen shit that would give normal people nightmares. Shit, I saw my old crush snap crackle and pop on my fucking ceiling for christ's sake!" his voice rose a little making Nicole shrink in her seat.
"What happened that night in the trailer Nicole that…that's the first fucking time I've ever opened up to anyone since what happened…First time I've let anyone see me in that state…Besides the docs who patched me up and my uncle who helped bandage my wounds when I was home…that kind of vulnerability isn't that that I'm used to giving people because I don't trust people."
The girl took a sip of her milkshake and lowered her head in hopes to hide the look of hurt on her face but she listened as his voice softened again; cracking just a bit at the end as he spoke.
"But that night with you…I didn't feel the need to have to hide who I was…or what I'd been through…because of what you'd been through too. Because I knew you wouldn't judge me…not after you told me what killed your parents. I knew we both got fucked over."
She inhaled softly and lifted her head to face front as she finally found words to speak. "Eddie…I don't know what you went through. I know I don't have the words to say and express sympathy. But if there is something I had learned after what happened to me is that sympathy won't do jack shit for people like us. Sympathy is just people feeling sorry for you but they don't fucking understand because they didn't go through what we did." she wiped at her eyes as she gathered a breath
"I still have nightmares about my accident. I probably won't ever stop having them and I can tell Nancy and Mikey, Dustin, Lucas, or even my aunt and uncle. But they wouldn't understand because even if some of them faced the monsters that I see in my dreams they didn't get blinded and fucking lost their parents to such a thing. So they wouldn't understand but that's okay. Because you know the truth, we know the truth, and if anything. We just have to focus on recovering from it. Plain and simple." she shrugged.
"And I won't know what you went through Eds…just like you don't know what I went through because we weren't there for each other when it happened. But that doesn't mean we can't be there for each other now. Sometimes shared trauma is just as good for us as being with someone who has had a trauma of their own but not the same as yours." she turned her head towards him not realizing how close he was until she felt his forehead bump against hers, but she didn't pull away and instead allowed the weight of her head to lean against his.
"It's okay to feel the emotion you do Eddie…Just as long as you feel it and then let it go. Because no one should ever feel like that forever. Even if it takes time to heal." she felt the warmth of his hand as his palm cradled her jaw and the gentle stroke of a rough padded thumb along her bottom lip.
"You'll help me?" his voice was soft and almost hesitant; his breath ghosting across her lips which curled up into a soft smile.
"whoever I can Eddie," she said softly
"Promise?"
Her hand reached up to grasp at the one cradling her face as her smile grew a little bit and she leaned the weight of her head against his palm. "I promise Eddie. As long as you need me."
His laugh was breathy but it held the smile in his as his face split into a fond grin. "I think I'll always need you, Campbell. You're too sweet."
"Hmm, not as sweet as this chocolate milkshake but I'll take it." Nicole laughed a little as she pulled herself away and took a sip of her milkshake.
