#okay rant over 😅❤️

IKKO, very very important question 🫡💚. How would Pharma act if both him and maybe Tarn or prowl (your choice🫶) were after one persons affection
Tumblr media
RAGGHH 🛐🛐🛐 MORNING COMPY!!! :D ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂
Important question indeed. And of the highest order too 😺☝️ long ramble below because I love those two to bits !!
I wasn't sure if you meant love triangle or individually 😭
Prowl wouldn't act on his affections. He'd hide it at first. And would would battle a long churning conflict between his logical side and his feelings — over countless cubes of engex Ratchet would diagnose him dead after
Mister-cold-to-the-bones-I'd-rather-die-than-ever-smile would definitely manipulate your surroundings to get him closer to you.
He'll move your schedule around, your seat placement (no harm in a little thigh touching, eh?) Maybe even discussing with Optimus about your 'work ethics' so he can flunk out your current superior to take his place. Yeah, sure. Totally because they were under performing. Totally.
He knows you yap alot, ranting about things in general so he purposely dawdles by until you notice him and just,,run your mouth
He pretends he's grumbling, saying it's wasitng his time but he's literally recording EVERYTHING you say so he can recharge to it at night (poor little pookie has nightmares, :( doesn't have anyone to coax him)
And you're always so surprised when he remembers an obscure fact about you,,,like sir,,,that's,,,a little 😅 um
but still you chalk it up to him being the strategic officer in charge of information, so not surprised that he knows
Despite his blatant attitude to you, you really don't fucking know what's his problem. Does he hate you? Does he think you're that bad at your job hes finally taking reign over your responsibilities?
So, confusing. He's like,,,got this stare that borders between his usual scowl and a squint.
And while you think you're about to get demoted, it usually means he's saving a picture of you in his processors. 😭😭 And a little note for it too (new shirt today, very nice.)
He's the type to be so stoned up and cold when he's approaching you, but the moment you smile at him (while imperceptible to you) Internally he feels like hauling himself off a bridge
Why do you exist, if not to make a fool out of him?!???2!#(
Pathetic pining. 100 percent
Doctor pharma on the other hand,,,,just invades your boundaries
🤨he's lucky he's naturally charming, you're not even suspecting why he's suddenly more interested in your wound stitching skills.
He's got his servos on you and guiding you through it and shit, whispering into your ear : "good little pet" for following his instructions to a t. He's obvious about his affections but not so vocal because while he recognizes hes caught some feelings for you there's no way he's going to be the one admitting it
So he showers you with gifts, flowers, and chocolates, waiting for the day you're going to realize what it all means.
Nope. You don't. Because a) you either think he's messing with you, ratchet did say he's kind of a flirt to everyone b) pharma being pharma c) asking you to cover another late night shift, which coincidentally, gets you stuck with him
Like prowl, since he's your superior, there's going to be a lot of schedule tampering and unlike Prowl he gets jealous, very easily.
(Prowl does get jealous. Nobody really likes him and he thinks you're obv going to like someone that's wayyy more genial and warmer than what he is. But he keeps it to himself because at least you're interacting with him)
Pharma gets,,, obvious about his jealousy in a very passive aggressive way which sometimes gives way to physical confrontations (pulling you away by your waist, getting in between you and the meh you're talking with, shooting daggers at the person who so much as to praise you)
Messy, messy doctor.
Oughhh so much things to add. Okay but more wholesomely, theyre both the type to put a blanket over you wen you're asleep at your desk, or giving you a drink when you're tired. Basically the tiny acts of kindness that's makes me go oughhh 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭

Tumblr media
sillage: (n.) the trace of someones perfume.
SYPNOSIS: yang jungwon knows youre pretty. hes always thought you were pretty. just how long can he manage to keep that to himself? OR the five times you catch yourself lingering on jungwon.
PAIRING: black cat!jungwon x golden retriever! reader [gn but a bit fem implied i think]
WC: 1.2k
GENRE: fluff!!! friends to lovers. sort of clumsy reader and jungwon who always takes care of them.
WARNINGS: none i think oh em jees
NOTE: happy birthday wonnie 💗💗💗💗💗 thank you for being such a wonderful leader and being with enha ☹️ pls take care of urself ilysm ☹️❤️❤️❤️ i hope u guys like this fic huhu 😅😋 do reblog!!
Tumblr media
jungwon knew you were pretty.
he had always thought you were pretty, ever since the first time he met you, which was at jay’s house party. 
your hair under your baseball cap and pretty lashes peeking out, he knew he was in trouble. He wondered if hed ever be able to tell you how pretty you were.
i. 
“mom ill be home a bit late today! ill be at jungwons for a project, love you bye!” you shouted over your shoulder as you struggled to carry all your things through the door. 
your bag, along with a half eaten sandwich and your wallet and a book in your two hands, anyone could tell that you were running late. but you couldn’t care less, you just really needed to catch the bus on time and see jungwon. 
seeing his smile in the morning was something you couldn’t start your day without. 
you ran to your bus stop, thanking all the gods in a silent prayer when you saw your usual bus arrive.
“just on time again huh y/n?” the driver smiles warmly at you and you laugh at him in slight embarrassment before nodding and going inside.
you move towards the back of the bus, and sit at your usual place, smiling in excitement as you see jungwon boarding the bus. his eyes search for you and when he spots you, he sends you a smile, and you let out a sigh of happiness, returning the smile.
he walks up to your seat, eyeing all the things you were holding in your hands. “do you want me to hold a few of your stuff while you try to put them in your bag?”
you dont need to answer him as he takes your book and wallet from your hands so you can open your bag with your now free hands.
he helps you keep your things inside and sets your bag on your lap, looking at you. “rough morning?”
you look at him “yeah. oh god i missed my alarm again! how could i be so forgetful, really.”
jungwon just smiles at your ranting and gives you one of his airpods as he plays your favourite song. 
you try not to blush when you notice his lingering stare on you.
ii. 
you rushed out of your class, just almost tripping over your untied laces. it wasnt often that you fell down so why bother?
you were excited to see jungwon after that horrendous physics lesson. you had no idea how jake sim managed to love the subject so much. maybe someday youd ask him for his help.
you enter the cafeteria and your eyes search for jungwon. it was very crowded but you managed to find him, sitting by your usual table, with one seat reserved for you. he smiles at you and waves at you to come over.
“saved you a seat. how was physics?” you sit down and take out your lunch. “oh gods it was terrible. i will never understand physics.” jungwon smiles at you.
“anyways we should probably eat quick, riki said he wanted to show us something.” you raise your eyebrows. “that kids probably up to no good again.”
“as if you didnt sneak out with him just last week to go to that concert. i couldve bought us tickets you know?” you giggle at him “it was soooo much more fun to sneak around. you shouldve been there won. if only you didnt have to stay home that day.” you pout.
jungwon ruffles your hair, “its okay we’ve got so many more we can attend together. properly this time, not by sneaking around.” you feel your cheeks heat up at the thought of going to concerts with jungwon, alone.
“okay lets go, riki must be waiting.” jungwon walks next to you by the hallway, noticing how you try to match your steps with him. adorable.
“wait your shoelaces are untied. ill tie them for you.” he stops you and bends down before you can even say anything. “won its okay. its not like im gonna fall down anyways.” 
he gets up after tying them, a satisfied smile on his face.
 “still”
iii.
“you are such a dumbass. i swear to GOD y/n you have got to stop calling me at 3am to go shopping with you.”
you can only laugh at his tired frustration. of course no one liked being woken up at this hour, but you really wanted to go on a midnight convenience store run.
“i should. but i think we both know that i wont.”
he can only roll his eyes at you fondly. 
you drag him to the ice cream section and gasp when you see your favourite flavour at the top. but before you can grab it, you see jungwon grabbing it. 
“this is your favourite flavour isnt it? lets get this one and share.”
oh. he remembers your favourite flavour. 
you stand there, unmoving, as jungwon moves towards the cashier and pays for the ice cream. 
“y/n? arent you coming? i already paid for it.”
“what? oh. oh yeah. wait up.”
iv.
you were about to combust.
holding hands with jungwon was new. not a bad new, it was good. 
what if your hands were too sweaty and he felt disgusted? what if hes just being nice? you did feel cold after all. him holding your hands and putting it in his coat pocket was just.. normal. it happened between friends all the time. right?
“you feel any warmer?” his voice breaks you out of your train of thoughts.
“yeah i guess.” you dont look at him, opting to look at your feet and walking in sync with your best friend.
you think that he would let go of your hand now that youve told him you feel better. but no? he only tightens his grip on your hand.
your already red cheeks feel even warmer at the action.
if only you had taken a look at jungwons face too, youd have seen a small smile on his face and his adorable red ears.
v.
“how many times do i have to tell you to not play in the rain. youre going to get even more sick if you do.”
you had finally faced the consequences of playing around in the rain when you should have stayed in. jungwon had rushed to your place the moment he had gotten to know.
you looked at him apologetically, before you felt another sneeze coming up your nose. jungwon looked at you in worry before getting up to make you something hot, to help with the cold.
“you dont have to y’know.” you say to him weakly. jungwon was the only person who took care of you during times like this. he appeared put off to others, because he didnt like talking to many people. but only you and a few of his other friends knew how he really was.
“oh but i do. if i dont, whos gonna take care of you?” he says, giving you some tea.
you dont know if it was that particular lighting in your room, but you really wanted to kiss him. you were almost sure that he liked you back. or at least thats what you thought. either way it didnt hurt to try right?
“can i kiss you won?”
what. 
how could you just ask him that so casually?
“what?” he asks you, his heart stuttering in his chest. jungwon thinks hes never liked someone as much as he likes you. 
“can i kiss you jungwon?” you repeat your question, your heart beating out of your body in anticipation. 
“yes.” he manages to get out. but before you can do anything, he stops you. “but not now okay? youre sick right now. do you want to get me sick too?” he smiles at you pouting.
“no .. but… ok fine youre right. then id have to take care of you too.” you roll your eyes playfully as jungwon carefully slips into the bed next to you, and places your head on his shoulder.
“i really like you y/nnie.”
“i really like you a lot too won.”
and now jungwon knows he can never let go of your lingering perfume smell around him. ever. 
i.
jungwon thinks youre pretty. maybe even more than before. but this time, he lets you know how pretty he thinks you are, always with a kiss.

Tumblr media
hey everyone!! so, originally, i wanted to do one of these back when all of y'all were posting your 'follow forever' + favorite blogs lists for new year's eve, but at that point in time i didn't feel like i knew anyone well enough to make a full list. but now, it's been almost nine months (holy shit!!!) since i joined this fandom, and there have been so many people that i've connected with and who have made my experience on here so much fun and so special.
plus...it's my birthday today, so i thought - what better way to celebrate it than to show my immense love & appreciation for all my mutuals, followers friends, and anyone who has ever made my tumblr experience better?
this isn't really in any particular order, and also, i am so so sorry if i forgot anyone. i had to type this out at least six times over the past two months because tumblr kept deleting my progress for some reason, so i'm really sorry if i missed anyone because of it. i recognize the urls of anyone that regularly interacts with my posts, so i promise that if you've ever left nice tags in the reblogs of my gifs or replied to any of my WIPS or tagged me in a gifset or in a tag game or sent me a nice ask or anything at all, really, please know that i think you're wonderful and i love you all so much even if tumblr hates me and decided to erase all of the evidence of it 😅
okay, enough dillydallying!! putting this under a cut so that it doesn't swallow ur dash whole....n here we go :)
@fireplceashes hi jen!! i know i said like. just one paragraph above that this was in no particular order, but i immediately broke the no. 1 rule of law and lied, bc as my very first friend in this fandom you are so undoubtedly so special to me and i'm putting you first just because i Can and no one can stop me. but anyway. where do i even begin with you? you are easily one of the sweetest people i have Ever, ever met - not just on tumblr, but in my real life as well - and i really love talking to you So much. thank you so much for always listening to my rants, and checking up on me, and just generally being there for me. you're just a really soothing person to talk to and i never have to worry about being 'too much' or anything like that when i'm talking to you. and of course - you are also so, so talented, and your gifs are absolutely stunning. they always turn out so beautifully, and i'm so in awe of your editing skills. basically...i'm just Very grateful to have met you, and *mike wheeler voice* all of my other mutuals, they're great, but my fandom experience would not be the same without you ❤️
@basiltonpitch spencer!! i feel the need to echo the first thing i said to you and remind you that i think you're a genius :') fun fact that i haven't told you: when i first found your blog, even before i realized that you were That person who wrote the benvi meta that i loved, the first posts that i saw from you were your beautiful web weavings, and i was immediately like Who is this person??? and Who gave them the permission to stomp all over my heart like this?? wtf?? i just. i love ur brain So so much and i'm so grateful that i get to enjoy your creativity in not one but two of my favorite fandoms (soon to be 3 with 911 maybe?) oh also...this is slightly embarrassing but i've gone back through your blog a few times just so i can read your incredible meta because all of your thoughts are so valuable to me. you are the Only person on this site that i trust to Get devi vishwakumar and one of the biggest reasons why i'm so excited for never have i ever s4 to drop is so that i can experience it alongside you!! and even outside of your creative genius, you are one of my favorite people to talk to bc you're so kind and so supportive and such an absolute sweetheart and i really love hearing everything you have to say. so. um. basically. i am just a Spencer Enthusiast through and through 💖
@padmedala carson!! hello!! first off, i've said this to you a million times, but i want to thank you once again for writing one of my favorite pieces of byler fanfiction. do you know that one post about reading fanfics and having to stop because 'he would not say that?' well, your work is the epitome of reading a fic and feeling wholly satisfied because yes, he would say that - in fact, i would not hesitate for a minute to say that you have the strongest grasp on will and mike's characterization - especially their dynamic together - out of any writer i've met in this entire fandom. like...i enjoy your writing so much that i've read a couple of your pieces for IT despite not having any knowledge of the source material simply because i wanted to experience more of your work. you're also such a deeply kind and supportive person, and you have no idea how much i appreciate every single time you've checked up on me or sent me a sweet message or even just dropped into my inbox to say hello. you make my dash infinitely brighter, and i'm so very glad to know you and have you as a friend on here 💞
@wllbyers dani!! hi!! i have so much to say abt how wonderful you are, and i was struggling w how to articulate this for a while, but then i remembered that you once said to me that you found my presence on the dash comforting, and honestly, that's exactly how i feel about you. forgive me for the awkward metaphor, but seeing you on the dash is like coming home after a long day and having a warm, home-cooked meal. seeing your url and icon always makes me smile, and i'm so grateful that we're mutuals because of how kind, considerate, and utterly genuine you are!! i don't know if i'm describing this right, but you just feel so real, you know? i feel like your personality shines through with every post you make, and i always love seeing it. and i'm sorry if this is weird to say, but your openness and your authenticity about everything going on in your life makes me feel a little bit less alone about my own struggles. also do you remember when you started watching 911 and eventually ended up getting ahead of me, and you tagged each and every one of your posts just so that i wouldn't get spoiled? i know it seems simple, but the sheer fact that you thought of doing that just for me had me melting into a little puddle w my face looking like that one meme of kristen bell. you are just so, so lovely and i'm unbelievably glad we're mutuals 🥰
@willblogger ima i've said this many times before but i absolutely Need to say it again: you are genuinely the funniest person on byler tumblr. i cannot count the number of times that you've made me full-on belly laugh (to the point where my stomach starts to hurt) and completely destroyed my attempts to casually and inconspicuously scroll through tumblr in public places. i dunno how you do it at all but every single thing you say is such an absolute delight and i am always giggling n kicking my feet when i read the tags on all of your posts. the thousands of people on tiktok and twitter copying your jokes could never do it like you. you've also got this deep understanding of the way the text has been written and i really appreciate how your analysis honors the characters as they are instead of trying to make them more palatable them for this fandom. it's just. it's rare to find people that love these characters as they are and understand them as well as you do and i feel very lucky to have found your blog. also this is not related at all but ur plushies are cute as fuck & i love them :) OH!! n thank u sm for being my number one stevebucky enthusiast mutual n partner in rage when it comes to avengers endgame!! can't wait to have a hate party w you (if you'd like) in five days 💗
@willelfanpage SARA HI HELLO do u see me waving at you. this is me holding up a banner screaming abt how much i love you. as the resident fandom cheerleader who gives and gives and gives so much love to everyone she interacts with, you deserve someone cheering YOU back on and that is what i am here to do!! you are so brilliant and you have never made an incorrect post in your life!!! all your fics are wonderful and i've loved reading them!! you are kind, you are smart, you are funny, and you make everyone around you feel so safe and comfortable and welcome here. like. i can't tell you how much i admire how open you are with your kindness and friendship and how you give it so freely to everyone you interact with. i love talking to you so much - whether it's hearing about your life or sharing our ideas with one another or just. venting about anything i want to - and your enthusiasm is utterly infectious and makes me feel more hyped and excited to be in fandom. forgive me for being so sappy on main but i will never not be touched by your endless love for fandom, not only these characters and the works that people make, but for the people around you as well and i hope u know i love u very much too 💞
@jackietaylcrs hii marianne fellow haver of good taste!! i remember you once made a post wondering if your followers would still love you if your stranger posting went down to 0.5% and i wanted to lyk that i definitely would!! i really like reading your commentary on ST and yellowjackets, but even when you're posting about a show that i'm not familiar with, you have this Way of speaking that i find very charming and funny and entertaining, and you bring this inimitable energy to my dash that i doubt i could ever find elsewhere. i like the way you sign off your posts with 'and like i say: brf slt.' i think it’s Neat n it fits you very well. alsooo THANK YOU very very much for being the one to convince me to watch yellowjackets!! people have been telling me to watch it for a long time but in the end it was your posts that made me say, fuck it, and finally watch it. also. um. ur posts abt stephen harrison make me feel very Seen so. thank u. ok bye 💗
@emblazons hello marie my beloved mutual marie!! honestly, out of everything in this post, this message was the hardest to write because i don't even know where to begin with you!! you bring so, so much to this fandom - your thoughtful, entertaining, levelheaded commentary, your stunning gifsets, your logical and witty posts, your incredibly supportive and kind personality, and your endless passion for this show and all that goes into making it, as well as our shared love & enthusiasm for noah schnapp 😅 every time i think you've made the most brilliant observation or put out the most beautiful set, you go and top yourself by finding something new or making an even prettier gifset. if i had to pick one person whose contributions to the fandom enriched my experience of this show? more than anyone, it would be you!! and i could go on and wax poetic about your talent forever (as i have on many, many occasions bc you deserve it 🥰), but i'm gonna end it here by saying that you are a gift to this fandom and one of my absolute favorite people on here, and that i'm beyond grateful to know you.
@mikeandwillel sandy!!!! you are so so smart and your analysis is absolutely incredible. i look forward to each and every one of your analyses because you always find the most clever parallels and your deep dives into each of these characters' arcs are always written with so much care and skill. and of course, i forever have you to thank for writing The ultimate masterpiece (your s4 painting arc analysis) that finally convinced me of byler endgame and thus made my fandom experience so much more relaxing and fun. i also really love & how much you love mike for all that he is -- i feel like it's a little rare in this fandom, so seeing how much you adore his true character and how you Understand him better than anyone else i've ever met makes me really happy. and not to mention, i have no idea how you managed to get so good at gifmaking in such a short amount of time but all your sets are so beautiful!! you're a gem fr 💖

@padme-amidala - hi erika!! okay, calling you a gifmaker almost feels wrong because that word doesn't feel like enough to encompass how beautiful your work is...all ur ideas are So amazing and you have such a natural eye for color and detail!! it is so clear that you pour so much love into all of your creations, and if i'm being honest, one of the reasons why i am so grateful to be a byler shipper is so that i can appreciate your craft to the fullest. and you're also Such a genuinely kind person that i always look forward to seeing on the dash!! thank you for being so lovely!!
@wiseatom - hi thea!! your writing is the ultimate definition of comfort. when i read ur work, no matter what i'm doing physically, mentally i am in my cozy bed with the fireplace crackling in the corner, surrounded by twinkly lights and warm blankets, sipping hot cocoa bc that is the kind of emotion ur writing invokes ✨
@byeler - irene!! your fics were my introduction to the world of byler fics and i admire you and your writing so very much 💞 i don't know how it's possible for one person to have this much skill and talent, but you do, and i'm so grateful that you've chosen to share it with us. eagerly waiting on a new heavy hopes chapter was one of the highlights of my fandom experience and that fic is a piece of writing that i will always come back to over and over again 🫶
@astrobei - suni i have been reading fics for over a decade now and i have still never encountered a writer that does emotion quite like you do, devastating me with every single fic you put out. i promise i mean this in the best way possible but you're So damn good at capturing all of that heartbreak and pain and inflicting the same agony on your readers, and it would have killed me by now if not for the fact that you're equally good at writing the sweetest fluff that has me melting into a puddle whenever i read 🫂
@hopelessromanfic - lyssaaaa!!! i've been Such a huge fan of landslide ever since you started writing it - it's one of my all time favorite fics in the fandom and i'm obsessed with the storyline and your characterization in all of your fics 😍

@junkoandthediamonds - your character studies are beautiful and i'm obsessed with your byler comics, your gifs and your ST x DC crossovers!!! i love your realistic style so So much and if i worked for the duffers i would 1000000% hire you to draw the official comics because i can't get enough of your work 🥰
@livsmessydoodles - fun fact: last year, when HSMTMTS s3 was airing, i remember seeing your rina art throughout the season and immediately fell in love with your style and your interpretation of the characters, and the same exact thing happened when i saw your ST work, and it wasn't until you followed me that i put the pieces together and realized that you were the same person 😅 your style is So gorgeous and your art just makes me so happy, and trust me when i say that i am mentally wallpapering all of your work to the inside of my brain so i can look at it forever❣️
and of course, a very special shoutout to all of the people that i don't know too well but are still such a comfort to have on tumblr: @miwism @yearninginblue @kittykat940 @robinsnance @jesper-faheyss @bylersheart @usergabby @achingly-shy @wheelersboy @wontbyers @stbyers @will80sbyers @watpoetry @frodohaven 💝
+ to all my other mutuals: tumblr wouldn't let me link your profiles because of some ridiculous limit, but please know that i see all of you and i am hugging you through my screen rn. thank you!! 👍🏼

Yeji Girlfriend Headcanons!
Tumblr media
Yeji is the snack queen, so of course you won her over by buying her food 😅
You never thought she looked cold or intimidating, you just thought she was pretty! (This made her very happy)
She kills all the bugs in your apartment for you! Well, she tries to capture them and release them, but sometimes they don’t cooperate :(
Playing with her dogs and going on walks with them
Gym dates!
Boba dates!
Secretly stealing some of her peach perfume so you can smell like her while she’s away on tour 🥺
In fact, her nickname for you is peaches 🍑
Taking her to an amusement park and winning her a teddy bear that she cherishes forever and ever
Her teaching you how to play piano ❤️
Her challenging you to a jump rope contest, and even if you say no she’ll still drag you outside so she can show off to you 😂
Giving her massages after dance practice… She always says she’ll pay you back but you’re never in as much pain as she is :(
Laying your head on her lap while she writes in her diary every night
The two of you basically adopt Yuna as your child 💀 She even started calling you mom and dad (regardless of your gender identity)
She likes to be called princess 👑
Her forcing you to take vitamins every morning
In fact she’s always making sure you’re taking care of yourself. After all, she takes very good care of herself so it’s not difficult for her to help you! She needs you strong and healthy okay ❤️
Just like she does with the girls, she’s always looking out for you. Always glancing at you when you seem upset, helping you with small tasks, making sure you’re being included in a group discussion…
She gets twice as mad as you do whenever you’re mistreated… in fact you know you never have to overreact because Yeji will react enough for both of you 😂
Seriously though, she’s loyal af and will not hesitate to stand up for you!
You always try to take care of her since she tries so hard to take care of everyone else… she’s a tireless leader but she knows she can lean on you when she needs to 🥰
It took her a while to get used to depending on someone but you were extremely patient and let her come to you. Once she opened up to you, she couldn’t imagine not having you there for her!
You always listen to her while she rants ab work and hold her when she cries out of frustration
Buying her every single Light Fury plush you ever see (it becomes a problem, you’re running out of places to put them 😭)
Her teaching you how to take top notch selfies
A lot of late night video game sessions 👾
She keeps a polaroid picture of you in her wallet to give her strength while she’s away from you ❤️

For the line game, would you be able to write for Steddie using inspiration from this dialogue in The Little Prince?
"Where are the people?" resumed the little prince at last. "It's a little lonely in the desert...”
"It is lonely when you're among people, too," said the snake.
(Yes, of course! This is amazing. Thank you so much for asking ❤️ I hope you don't mind that I snuck a little reference to ronance in there. 😅)
Wandering around in the upside down is cold and quiet, and Eddie hates the way this place makes the hair on his arms stand up. "Where are all the people?" Eddie asks, trying to keep his voice steady even though he's kind of glad they haven't run into anyone in Hawkins that has gone missing. He was terrified of what they'd find. "I mean, it's a little lonely down here."
"It's lonely when you're among people, too," Steve scoffs quietly. Okay, so maybe he's still a little hurt by Nancy's rejection. Was it so wrong of him to want those things with her? To have love and have a family?
Eddie can't help the roll of his eyes. "Okay, I'm gonna be blunt here," he states, stopping in his tracks and grabbing Steve's arm to make him stop as well.
"Do you have any other setting?" Steve asks with a frown because when has Eddie ever not been blunt.
Seemingly not noticing Steve's tone, Eddie just barrels on with his rant. "You need to get over Nancy, okay? Let her go. Because you're way more awesome than anyone gives you credit for, even the kids who worship you. And I know, I know, I'm one of those people too; I thought you were just another asshole jock, but I was wrong, okay, dude? You're cool, and you care about those little shrimps even when they're insufferably annoying. Nancy deserves to be happy. With Jonathan or Robin or whoever she wants, but it's not gonna be you, okay? So first, accept that.
Steve's frown only deepens. "Robin? Why would Nancy want— she's not..."
Eddie just keeps going like he hadn't even realized that Steve had interrupted him. He had; he just had to get the rest of this out, or it would be forgotten forever in favour of the rant about why he knows that Nancy is bi and Robin is a lesbian and how gay people just know these things about other gays. Living small town means that it's pretty much a survival skill, to have a good gaydar, to be able to know who the other gay people are without outing yourself to the people who aren't and putting yourself in danger.
"And you do, too, okay? You deserve to be happy with whoever you want, but it's not gonna be Nancy, so just... you have to move on." Eddie tries to keep his own feelings out of it, keep his crush on Steve under wraps because he's nothing if not a coward, and he doesn't really want to be punched in the face when they're already in this creepy alternate universe. He keeps walking after that, and it takes him a few minutes to see that Steve is still frozen there, not following him.
"Look, I'm sorry if that hurt you, but it needed to be said; you're not gonna feel any less lonely moping and pining after Nancy." Eddie sighs after he makes his way back to Steve. Eddie thought Steve might actually punch him or maybe just yell, but what he actually did is something he never thought would happen.
Steve pulls Eddie in by his shirt, and Eddie is clutching onto his own vest that now lived on Steve's shoulders when the younger man kisses him. It's not soft or unsure, it's hard and full of passion, and Steve puts his all into it just like everything else, and neither man pulls away until they're breathless.
Maybe they weren't lonely, and maybe the only people they really needed were each other, upside down or not.
(Hi, if you've read this far, I'll assume it's because you liked this little fic at least a little bit? I would be so eternally grateful if you could hit that little reblog button. It costs nothing, and it REALLY helps. Also, if you can, please think about commissioning me, maybe? 🥺 I have lots of fandoms to choose from. You could also just support me on Kofi from this link as well. 💕)

Hi Ro! 🩶 Just wanted to drop in, to let you know how much I absolutely adore your art!! 🫶💕 (like it truly makes me so happy to see whenever you've posted a new one! 🥰)
So in relation to that I wanted to ask: What are the top 5 things that inspire you to do art? 👀
(also curious if there is anything about art in general, that you'd like to talk about! 🤗🩵)
Hey stella <333 thank you so much for enjoying my art :] I'm so glad you like it❤️
1. My hyperfixations - as soon as I join a Fandom or community I immediately feel the need to draw fanart for it, anything I'm passionate about really😅games, movies, fanfics, youtubers etc..
2. Other people - whenever I get requests for certain parings or drawings I get so happy because I'm like- "this person likes MY art so much they want to request!?" and I get so exited whenever someone even reblogs my stuff :D
3. People I love - anytime I have a friend that I love so dearly I constantly wanna draw them and give them gifts. If you somehow were able to look through my sketchbooks over the years, you would find month long periods where I would only be drawing one person. These things come and go but I love the rush of creativity I get whenever it happens :)))
4. Boredom - I know it's weird- hear me out. When I was in school I always found myself doodling in my notebooks when a class was boring (which it usually was haha) and it subconsciously really helped with my art journey and with my inspiration over the years.
5. Myself - sometimes I feel that the only way to express what's going on in my head is through art. It doesn't matter what kind. Sometimes I feel really overwhelmed and a random fucking poem about it pops into my head so I write down. Maybe I saw something really beautiful somewhere and absolutely HAD to draw what it made me feel. I find myself in so many things around me and I want to get it on paper or in my notes app just to preserve the feeling.
Art runs in my family, I have a few cousins who draw and on both my parents sides they have a history of it. Though my main inspiration to start drawing was my sister. My older sister draws so amazingly even three year-old me wanted to be like her. She unknowingly encouraged me to continue expressing myself and I am forever grateful for her. It's also so fun to see how other hobbies translate, for example I plays guitar; I didn't know this until after I started playing but my dad always wanted to play when he was a kid and my mom played guitar when she was in seventh grade (I started playing in seventh grade too!) my brother and my cousin also took a few classes and so did my grandpa on my mom's side. It's so cool to see things that don't seem genetic translate in different family members👍 okay sorry for the rant I got carried away😅😅

Two ?s for you ❤️: 1) What do u think buck & dean would think of each other if they ever met? I've gleaned from your posts that buck is the most deanish of buck+eddie, right? What would the vibes be? (Inspired by your most recent buck gifset reblog) -- And 2) Do u think there's such a thing as a cocklesholic? Because I've spent so much time refreshing tumblr today trying to get a fresh hit of jenmishdee serotonin that my eyeballs hurt.😭 - your sister in cockles, who still doesn't even go here🚒
okay first of all these questions are amazing thank you 🥰
1. i definitely think buck is more like dean than eddie. first of all, buck’s issues with his parents run deep, they basically had him so they could use him to donate bone marrow (i think?) to their older sick son with leukemia. he’s never truly gotten over his issues with them, and they definitely do not understand his life/job choices.
dean doesn’t have the same issues but definitely still has parental problems (that’s putting it lightly). and there’s a scene of buck with his parents that’s similar to the one dean had with mary where he said ‘i hate you but i love you’
i headcanon buck and dean to both be adhd as you can tell by that post i reblogged of buck that you mentioned. buck is always one to be cooking for his fellow fire fighters and the captain (bobby) cooks for them a lot and just last week we had a scene where he asks him for cooking tips. and buck had a scene where he used one of bobby’s recipes to make something for eddie and his son christopher. so he makes food for the people he loves. and dean is very much the same, as we can see from all the times he cooks in the bunker and made that cake for jack on his birthday.
i realised i just ranted quite a bit and didn’t even answer your question 😅 so i think buck and dean would get along really well based on the things i just mentioned. they’d bond over cooking recipes and rant about their family and be generally chaotic together, looking to have fun. i do think they’d really like each other.
2. yes i definitely feel like there is such thing as a cocklesholic as you so perfectly put it!! i’ve spent more time thinking about cockles than i do destiel tbh. i’m supposed to be working on something but i too have spent so much time just waiting for another ‘hit’ but luckily, we have another jensen/danneel panel tomorrow. hopefully we get more amazing questions + answers!

12 and 25, if you'd like!
thank you for the ask Ali! ❤️
12. what’s some good advice you want to share?
okay so a lot of people in my life are probably sick of me saying this, but i just think it's so important and always worth repeating: there is a huge difference between loving animals and respecting animals. you can love an animal and still be ignorant to their needs. it is currently very trendy to anthropomorphize dogs and cats ("they are baby", a dog with it's tongue out is "smiling", obese cats are just "chonky" etc.) and while it can be totally harmless, it's also often a misrepresentation of animal health and behavior. a dog yawning is often a sign of stress and not sleepiness, a cat yowling at being scratched is overstimulated and is possibly in pain (not being vocal because it feels so good), a dog wagging its tail is also a sign of aggression and not always happiness, and so many other examples.
please everyone just try your best to take a step back and look at the whole picture, and do all the research you can about animal behavior and body language. your pets will thank you! and it's still okay to have fun with the words and expressions we use to describe them (i call Masudi a baby about 10 times a day), the key is just recognizing when our words turn into actions that harm the animal. our words and actions usually come from a place of love, but not always respect. at the end of the day animals are animals and have very different needs than we do.
okay rant over. can you tell i've been working with animals for a decade and am tired of explaining basic animal behavior over and over again? 😅
25. fave season and why?
winter! i love love love the cold. if i can wear a big hoodie i'm a happy camper. summer and sweating and sunburns are no fun at all imo

hello lovelyyy,
it's been a while, I know, sorry about that 😅 I've been dealing with life as well as anxiety, so that's certainly been fun 😭
I'm sorry to hear you got sick but I hope youre feeling much better than you were when you replied to my last asks - in all regards, not just physical health. (And FYI, I really don't mind if you ever just wanna rant). but im hoping that being over all those things means you're prioritising what's best for you 💕
as for the sunwoo note - most definitely yes!! he loves to seem confident, loves being playful and teasing. but my goodness, that guy could not handle it when it's thrown back at him. he'd be a blubbering mess. even more so if his partner is usually very shy/easy to fluster and out of nowhere they retaliate, making sure each of his advances are matched or surpassed. He'd be so thrown off his game - it'd be adorably funny.
also, I saw your recent beomgyu post 👀 im glad to see that you're still writing when you find time for it and I can't wait for it to drop; I have no doubt that it will be a great read. I'm so excited for you!
anyways, wishing you an absolutely amazing New Year/New Year's Eve. I hope things get better for you and you find more time for the things that make you happy.
take care!!
-🦁
Never apologize for taking the time you need!! I disappear for months on end, so I definitely understand lol
I do feel better!! Thank you!! I still don't have taste or smell (which is so sad 😭😭), but I'm able to breathe without coughing or feeling like my throat is ripping lol, so it's a win. I do feel better mentally. Idk why my brain has taken a deep breath and said, "It's a new year, and we're gonna be happy and LIVE," but I am 120% here for it.
Ugh, I just love Sunwoo, and I could talk about him forever. He's my husband in my delusional mind 🥰🥰 I love all of the scenarios we've talked about when it comes to him. He's just...
Tumblr media
I love the story I've created for Beomgyu!! I've never really written a long fantasy piece (which is absurd bc that is my bread and butter), and I'm so excited for the second part that will eventually come out!!
After this story, though, I plan to officially focus on my original work. My tumblr is dead, and I don't get the interaction I used to get, so I feel like I'm beating a dead horse. However, after posting this BG fic, I've realized I'm okay with it.
I hope you had a great new year!! I want nothing but the absolute best for you this year 🥰❤️

I’m not a very big reader so I can’t really talk to you about books BUT if there ever comes a time where you’re totally geeking out over something you’ve read and you’d like to talk about it, please please please feel free to message me. I might not fully understand, but it would be nice to experience you talking about something you’re excited about and that you enjoy 🥰
That’s okay!! I appreciate it ❤️ I enjoy a lot of things whether it’s art, music, video games, books, shows! More than likely I’ll rant about on here at some point or another 😅

How do I learn to not be annoying? I blather on about my hyperfixations constantly. I also go on tangents all the time. I can be in a conversation knowing that I'm talking too much, or that my conversation partners don't care about my hyperfixations at all and not have any ability to shut up about it even when I want to. How do I learn to stop?
Hello there friend!
Obligatory apology for answering this X months later: Sorry 😳❤️ better late than never I guess?
As for your question:
I tried writing several answers to this but none of them felt genuine and I don’t want to force myself to give advice I don’t stand for so I guess I’ll vent a little first?
This was really hard for me to answear and I think maybe it’s because it hit a little too close to home? I have always been very shy and anxious but at the same time love sharing things I’m interested in. A lot of times though it ended up with me having my feelings hurt because I went off about something I really cared about only to be met with silence or even responses such as:
”sorry I just genuinely don’t care about what you’re talking about right now”
Which in my opinion is not an okay thing to say, even if someone is going off. There are nicer ways to say it but in my opinion if people have to express that they really DON’T want to listen to you, then those are not people you should hang out with. Maybe I’m controversial here What do yall think?
Personally I have always felt that I should always at least pretend like I’m listening even if I’m not interested and ask questions so the other person feel heard and validated.
For example, my partner is very much into larping and making his own clothes/gear. I don’t really get it when he starts talking about patterns or different materials but whenever he shows me something he made I go ”wow baby! That’s awesome!” And usuallly that’s enough for him to feel satisfied.
You don’t have to be interested yourself to respect that other people have different passions.
I really hate math but when I meet people who study math for their major I always tell them how cool it is because it is! Having passion for things is really cool no matter what it is!
That said you did ask for advice so with that rant over…😅
#1 Focus on listening 🗣👂🏻👂🏻👂🏻
Often trying not to do something is alot harder than trying to do something so if we replace ”not talk as much” with ”listen more” we can instead focus on an easier task with the same outcome.
Listening is a really good skill to learn in general. Whenever you feel as if you’re talking too much; try to make someone else talk instead and focus on listening really well.
Turn to a conversation partner and ask what they think or how their weekend was and don’t settle for a single question, ask follow ups.
”How was your weekend?”
”Okay I guess, I went to visit my grandma”
”Oh that sounds nice, Are you two close? Does She live nearby? Did you do anything fun together?”
Really try to remember what they said, repeat it if you can
”So you went kayaking last fall?
Here you repeat what they said in the form of a question which will prompt them to talk more about it.
If they don’t initiate you can follow it up with:
”That sound fun! What was it like? Did you like it? Was it your first time? Are you going back this year?”
#2 Use ”outside focus”
Now this one I learned in therapy for my anxiety but it might just work for you too!
”Outside focus” is an exercise where you turn your focus from inside where all your anxious thoughts are, to the physical surroundings around you outside your body
The way it works is you look around yourself and describe everything to yourself in your head. ”The floor is made of floor” ok Maybe not like that more like ”the floor is grey and plastic” ”there’s a hole in the white cieling” ”the Grass is green” ”that house is made of red bricks”
This may not seem like much but what it does is it relocates your focus by keeping your mind busy. If you feel like you can’t stop talking try describing your surroundings quietly in your head until you feel more in control
#3 Practice mindfullness and breathing
Nothing new or revolutionary here but good old breathing exercises really do help but only if you practice so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work perfectly at once.
Practice breathing slowly in and out and when you discouver your mind wandering, don’t scold yourself but gently *note* the thought you were having and allow it to pass as you return your focus to your breathing.
I know it sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo but there’s a reason mindfullness is so popular and often used in CBT, it really has been one of the most important tools for me in managing my ADHD
Sorry of this post is a mess your question really stirred something in me (in a good way!) that made me really reflect on some things which is always healthy and interesting but it was a little difficult not going to lie. 😅😅
Thank you for your question and have a good day!💕✨🥰

Hey I saw that you were looking for requests! Could you make a little one shot of the reader where she and Peter are in the same class and she sees her talking with one of her friends about her friends date? And once she’s done talking with her friend she immediately shuts herself out from the world and seems pretty down. And she catches peter staring at her and she gets nervous, so she leaves and peter finds her and asks her what’s wrong and then they confess to each other?(I was thinking that the reason why the reader is said, is because her fiend went on a cute date with a cute guy and she wishes she could have that with Peter, but she thinks that Peter doesn’t like her because she’s a really outgoing person and annoys people sometimes when she’s just being herself. If that makes sense? I’m sorry if this is kind of confusing) Also, thank you for taking the time to read this, I know that you were looking for mini one shots to write but I still appreciate you taking the time out of your day to make people happy, we need more people like you in the world ❤️❤️ (sorry if that was sappy haha 😅)
no this is so sweet!!! i love this idea! and i appreciate ur message omfg thank u <3
~ ~ ~
valentine
relationship: peter parker x fem!reader (although i imagined mcu!peter!!)
masterlist
***
“So he ended up getting me the flowers and the teddy bear!” your best friend Katie exclaimed, making you laugh.
“What are you supposed to do with something that big?” you asked through a smile.
“Honestly, it’s just sitting in the living room. I have no idea how it’s gonna fit in my room. God, I just wish guys didn’t think that girls want all this sappy stuff. I have so many useless gifts at this point,” she complained with an eye roll.
“At least you get dates,” you muttered under your breath. Katie didn’t hear you, and she just went back to obsessing over how she got the captain of the football team to ask her to the upcoming spring formal.
Your mind drifted. You couldn’t stand another minute of Katie going on and on about boys. You didn’t care about boys—except for one specific boy: Peter Parker. Sweet, shy, genius Peter Parker.
You had a crush on him for years. In your eyes, he was the cutest guy in school. His social awkwardness should’ve turned you off, but it made him even more charming to you. But you weren’t even sure if Peter knew you; sure, you were decently popular, but he never seemed to acknowledge your presence. It broke your heart into pieces.
As your thoughts continued to wander, Katie finally wrapped up her rant. You were brought back to reality when she said, “So that’s why I landed on Jake.”
“Cool,” you said with a nod, pretending to know what she was talking about.
“Anyways,” she said with a sigh. “I gotta go return this book to the library. Wanna come with me?”
You shook your head, “I have some calculus to get done.”
“Suit yourself,” Katie replied. “See you at lunch.”
You waved as she went up to the teacher for a pass. You felt yourself retreat inside your head. Usually, you liked to be loud and outgoing, jumping on your friends and making silly comments. But when Katie was around, she made you feel drained. You loved her, but she had this little way of always trying to be better than everyone. It wore you out to no end.
While staring at your blank math homework, you felt someone staring at you. You turned around to catch Peter’s brown eyes looking at you. He quickly turned away, however, and acted like nothing happened. Your heart beat doubled.
Was he really looking at me? you thought.
Nerves overcame you. You cleared your throat and closed your notebook, deciding to go for a walk to clear your mind. You got a pass from your teacher and rushed out of the classroom. You exhaled as soon as you stepped outside.
You wandered down the hallway for a few seconds then decided to go to your locker. As you arrived, you felt someone behind you.
“Hey, are you okay?”
You turned to, once again, see Peter Parker looking at you. He stood right next to you, a look of concern on his face.
“Uh—Yeah, yeah,” you stuttered with a dismissive wave. “I’m fine. Why?”
“I don’t know,” he admitted with a shrug. “You just seemed a little—upset. I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“Yeah, I’m okay,” you sighed, leaning against your locker. “It’s just Katie problems.”
“I thought you guys were friends.”
“We are. She can just be a little…much, sometimes. Like today she was going on and on about her date yesterday and all the gifts she’s gotten from guys. I can’t stand hearing all of that in one sitting.”
Peter laughed, “Yeah, Valentine’s Day really brings out the most obnoxious side of people.”
“I know right! Like I don’t care about your date or your exes or—Anything! Katie just wants to brag that she has a boyfriend and I don’t.”
“Didn’t Flash ask you out?”
You groaned, “Flash makes my brain hurt. I’d never go anywhere with him. Besides, I kinda have my eyes set on someone else.”
“Oh?” Peter said with a surprised look. “May I ask who?”
“Oh—Uh,” you said sheepishly. “God, this is gonna sound so bad but it’s—.”
“—You,” you and Peter said simultaneously. Your eyes widened as his lips curved into a smile.
“Wh-What?” you stuttered. “You…like me?”
“Of course I do,” he confessed. “I just didn’t think you’d like me back.”
“I felt the same way!” you gasped. “I thought you’d think I was obnoxious and annoying or something. I’ve been too scared to say something to you.”
“I thought you’d think I was a geek,” Peter said with a laugh.
“Well, you are a geek, but that doesn’t matter to me.”
“Really?” he said with a smile.
“Really,” you repeated. “And it feels so good to finally get that off my chest.”
“So, uh—Can I take you out then? For Valentine’s Day?”
“That was yesterday,” you said with a laugh. “But sure. We can call it an anti-Valentine’s Day date.”
“Perfect. I’ll uh, pick you up at seven?”
“I’ll be waiting, Parker,” you said with a smile as the bell rang. Feeling a rush of confidence, you leaned in and placed a quick kiss on his cheek. Peter looked at you with blown eyes and a rosy blush. You felt your own cheeks heat up, but you kept your cool.
You adjusted your backpack on your shoulder and turned to go to your next class, while Peter stood there, still in shock.
With a giggle, you added, “And don’t be late.”

Hi! Just saw your tags on the Elsa Laula post & wanted to emphasise ☺️ this treatment of indigenous people hasn’t happened just in USA, Canada, Australia, Greenland & pretty much every country in South America & Africa, this has also happened to the Sámi people in Norway, Sweden, Finland & Russia.
We got our religion taken away from us & sacred items stolen or even burned in front of us. We’ve been forcibly removed from our land, gotten our identity taken away from us & force assimilated into society. There’s the stories about the nomad schools as well, which doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it should but it’s also understandable because the people who had to live through that is way too traumatised to even want to speak about it. Plus yeah, there’s also the eugenics/racial biology. Where Sámis got hammered into their heads that they’re the lesser race. All parts of the body was measured & photos were taken (both with & without clothes). This happened to all ethnicities but why people talk about it so much in connection to Sámis is because this was done with the purpose of showing how Sámis were lesser beings than Swedes & the emphasis on “they measured our skulls” was because Sámis were ’kortskallig’ & Swedes were ‘långskallig’ meaning that because Sámis had smaller heads, they had smaller brains & therefore less intelligent.
Okay this turned into a long rant 😅 but I just want to emphasise your point, this doesn’t just happen in USA. No joke, I’m 23 years old & the first time I actually dared voice “I’m Sámi” was two years ago. I’ve gotten it hammered into me that I’m a Swede, not Sámi because Sámis are lesser & just cause trouble. It took me over 20 years to actually say those words & for the last two years, every time I’ve said them the room has either gone quiet or people have commented on the shape of my cheekbones & the shape of my eyes 🤦🏼‍♀️
So to your followers I just want to say that this sort of treatment to indigenous people happen everywhere. To borrow a quote from the Black Lives Matter movement, there is so much information out there so do your part & read up on it ☺️❤️💛💚💙
Hey!
Thank you for this!
First of all, I'm sorry about what you, your family and ancestors have gone thru💔
I have lived my whole life in Finland, but I was in my early 20s when I found out the width of what the Sámi people went through. This is not something we're taught in school, I don't know why, Shame maybe? Nonetheless it's downright disgusting that the governments of these countries try to sweep it under the rug.
Where there are indiginous people there is oppression against them. Be it anywhere on the planet.
Keep your head high. You're a beautiful human❤️

At 26, I’m basically in the same spot as you re: career. I went through college thinking I wanted to do one thing (teach) then realized I didn’t want to do that. Then the thing I thought I wanted to do after that (publishing) isn’t something I can really do unless I want to go back for a masters or move to a different city. I’m not opposed to getting a masters but publishing isn’t exactly something to get into debt over lmao. And moving to NYC for a job that pays like 40k isn’t worth it. I kind of fell into what I’m doing now (web editor for a digital marketing company) and now I feel completely trapped. The job sucks, doesn’t pay all that well, and I feel like I haven’t really gained any marketable skills tbh, so whatever job I try to get next will likely be a lateral move. On the one hand, I wish I had gone into computer sciences in college but on the other hand, I really hate how undervalued my skills are in this economy (editing, writing, research, etc). Sorry for the rant and, uh, lack of any encouragement - I’ve recently been looking at job posts to see what’s out there and feeling pretty hopeless about my prospects. So you’re not alone! I believe in us haha ❤️ but it really fucking sucks
oh MAN, god, I wanted/want to be involved in publishing so bad too. I remember when I heard about how closed-off and network-based the industry is (not to mention I think living in NYC might actually kill me [I like green things and space too much for that level of urban living]) and I watched my dream crumple up 😅
You and I have VERY similar skillsets. I feel you on them being undervalued while also so needed - every time I get praised by anyone of authority it's because of my writing or communication or editing or something of the like. (And it's like... okay so why won't anyone pay me for these skills!!)
Looking at job postings has also been my, like, digital self-harm strategy for the last half year. It's a ridiculous way to feel horrible about your skills and background while searching for something to better yourself/your life.
I've been talking with a few folks who are a bit older than me - not a lot, but enough to have more than the shaky 3 years of work experience that I have - and they've had some good and like, painful advice on what works and the effort one needs to put into it. I think maybe I'll try more wholly to work on developing my job over the next year, because honestly though I Do Not Dream Of Labor (I seriously don't have a dream job) I'm certain that if I meet the world with just more of the effort I'm capable of, something has to fall into my lap.
I'm an optimist at the end of the day, albeit one prone to very painful moments of self-doubt, so I hope for you and me that something big and cool is around the corner. If you ever wanna chat, my messages are open :) <3

6, 7, 34!!, 35
thank you love ❤️❤️
6. What element of writing do you find comes easily?
Tonight, absolutely nothing. It is all pulling teeth. 😭 Normally…I think probably dialogue. I have conversations with myself in my head all day long, so it’s not a big stretch to just to insert a fictional character or two in there and see what happens 😂
I absolutely love writing description and when I’m in the elusive Flow State it comes without too much struggle, but getting to flow state is so much work I don’t think it counts lol.
7. What element of writing do you struggle with most?
Honestly I don’t know if this counts, but focus. I have ADHD and sometimes this serves me really well (yay hyperfocus!) but sometimes (like tonight) it just renders my brain completely useless and it’s so frustrating because I have all the words in my head, I can see them swirling around, I stand up and walk to the kitchen and the perfect line that I’ve been searching for comes into my head, but the second I sit down at the computer my brain is just 500 browser tabs open, each playing a different audio sound. 😫😫😫
Some days it feels like a miracle that I’ve ever written a single page in my life. And then some days I’ll pop out three chapters in one sitting. Agghghdjkgshgjkhg.
…end rant. 😅
35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!
Oh, this is very open-ended! Hmm. I will ramble about TLE2 because that’s the only thing in my head right now haha. Writing it has been such a cool/weird/scary experience because I’ve never written such a large work a) on a deadline (self-imposed but still) and b) with people who actually want to read it waiting haha. TLE1 was my secret hobby for so long, and I just picked it up and played around with it every once in a while for years without showing it to anyone. I’m excited about TLE2 in that I’m using a lot of the skills and tricks I picked up from playing with TLE1 and it’s made the process much more efficient, but I’m also secretly really, really nervous about it because this is the fastest I’ve ever written anything and oh gosh what if it *needs* to simmer on my laptop for two years before its readable?? (It probably doesn’t but I have anxiety 😂) Mostly I’m just excited to share it with you though and I wish I would write faster 😂😂
34. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.
Okay since you put two exclamation points after this one and also because I love you, I am going to give you an early TLE2 Jily scene. I so enjoy writing them pretending to hate each other. 😂

“Hello, partner,” he said, dropping himself into the seat next to hers. She startled and turned to look at him. He noticed her eyes scan the room. “Only seat left,” he assured her. “Trust me, I checked.”
Lily pursed her lips. “What are you doing here?”
“Believe it or not, I go to school here. Small world, eh?”
“I mean here. This is Advanced Potions.”
“That would explain all the pickled salamanders,” said James pleasantly. “Oh...you thought I’d fail my O.W.L., didn’t you?”
Her cheeks went pink and James almost grinned, but he caught himself before it went too far.
“No,” she said, twisting a lock of red hair around her thumb. Why did she have to do that? Didn’t she know how mad it drove him? “I just never thought you had much interest in Potions, given that you’ve spent the past five years of class merely trying to blow things up.”
“Never underestimate the importance of knowing how to blow things up,” advised James, leaning comfortably back in his seat and stretching his arms behind his neck.
He glanced over his shoulder: Snape was still glaring daggers at him. James returned the glare with a smirk of his own. If he had to endure this, he might as well get some fun out of it. Knowing that his proximity to Lily Evans was torturing Snivellus nearly as much as it was torturing him was at least a minor consolation.
“And for your information,” he added coolly, “I Exceeded Expectations.”
“Well, you certainly exceeded mine.”

Lou liked Bob's post so I hope we get something from Bondy soon...
LOU MY BELOVED 😩❤️❤️
Actually that reminds me (completely unrelated but since we were talking abt friendships just now and I wanna lighten the mood) I was gonna say like it’s crazy how Lou isn’t just Bondy’s whacky best mate anymore like Chintzy has really taken off and like he’s got his own thing going on now and I’m lowkey proud of him for it like...we’ve gotten to know him so much better over the last year and idk I’m gonna start gushing abt it but genuinely he’s so fucking lovely and I‘m kinda pleasantly surprised cause this is not how I pictured him like a year ago lmaooo but I love him for it and I’m so happy he decided to pick music back up again because Them Things’ Good Weird EP is one of my faves ever and has become my go to comfort music lately and him as a person in general is just kinda comforting?? Like if you were alone in a room with him you’d feel safe kinda comforting. idk maybe it’s the motivational speech he gave us that’s rotting my brain AND ALSO HE’S BEEN DOING THE ABSOLUTE MOST AND FEEDING US GOOD CONTENT THROUGHOUT LOCKDOWN 👏🏻👏🏻
okay I think that’s all, rant over 😅
