also in this au is theres 2 jokers??????? I saw you once mention Jerome(?) being revived or something
ps .im that great at English sorry .
oh wow wow wow thank you so so much!! i'm really glad that you're enjoying my story so much! it really means a lot to me. <33 i think your english is good! but if you need/want me to clarify anything i say here, just let me know and i'll try to rephrase it for you!
okay, so in the Gotham tv show (this has spoilers for all 5 seasons, so read on if you're okay with that) the way that they approached writing the joker was actually really up in the air in the beginning. this is because they didn't have the rights to use the name "joker," and so fox (the company that made the show) planned on making a bunch of smaller characters in the show as a kind of easter egg as people who could be the joker or who resemble him in some way.
this changed when cameron monaghan (the actor for both jerome and jeremiah) guest starred in s1e16 "the blind fortune teller." in it, the character of jerome is introduced as a 17/18 year old boy who travels with the circus with his mother, who is a snake dancer. he is meant to be one of the aforementioned joker-like characters in the show and wasn't actually supposed to be included again after that episode, if i am not mistaken.
however, the viewers LOVED his performance and jerome came back in season two as a member of the maniax, a group of arkham inmates who were broken out of the asylum. i won't go too into detail about the actual plot, but in seasons two, three, and four, jerome shows up in at least a few different episodes with very memorable storylines each time.
it isn't until season four of the show that jeremiah is even revealed at all! jeremiah and jerome are identical twin brothers, however, jeremiah has been in hiding for years under the fake name "xander wilde" in an attempt to escape jerome, who wants to get revenge on him for lying to their mother about what he (jerome) did when they were children. basically, jeremiah lied to their mother (lila, who jerome is revealed to have killed in 1x16) that jerome tried to kill him, causing jeremiah to be sent away and be adopted by rich people and get to go to a well-funded private school where he could live out his best life as a child prodigy (which was jeremiah's end goal to this), whereas jerome was left behind in the circus that they lived at (haly's circus, the same one that dick grayson later was raised in before being adopted by bruce). during this time, jerome was horrifically abused by his mother, his uncle, and his mother's many romantic partners. this eventually caused him to crack, which creates the character we see in the show.
here's an easy way to remember the difference in their personalities:
Tumblr media
in the standard american deck of cards, there are two jokers: one that is black and white and one that is in color. in this analogy, jeremiah is the black and white joker and jerome is the one in color.
this is jerome:
Tumblr media
he's got a *very* boisterous personality. he's outgoing and charismatic and, of course, severely messed up in the head. he *enjoys* the pain he causes people and does it with little to no reservations. he thinks things through less thoroughly than jeremiah but jerome always has a plan and is actually quite smart. i couldn't do him the disservice of calling him the dumb twin, despite some points about jeremiah that i'll get back to later.
anyway, jerome has a grand plan for all of gotham: he believes that, fundamentally, everyone in the world is like him and is also at least a bit crazy inside. he wants everyone to tap into their inner selves and let themselves run free / go crazy. he successfully ensnares huge hoards of gothamites with his persuasive way of speaking and interesting flare to his words. he amasses a large cult following, all of whom are very similar to him in the sense that they all demonstrate similar signs of instability.
here's some more gifs of him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jerome kind of invented the iconic "HAHAHA" signature joker laugh in the gotham universe, even though he isn't the one who goes on to become "mr. j" (gotham's version of the joker) in the end (that's jeremiah, though i have a lot to say about that).
jerome's always smiling, a genuinely creepy smile that throws people off at first but can be really scary once you know what you're looking at. he single handedly turns gotham into a madhouse on multiple occasions and is the one who basically spread the "crazy" to the general population (for short: genpop).
he's a classic cult leader in the sense that he can mesmerize a whole room with his magnetic presence but also will ruthlessly cut down any of his followers if they so much as upset him (or even if they're just being annoying or could have a greater purpose, like when he stabbed a follower in the gut to take their blood to draw a frowney-face on bruce).
Tumblr media
that reminds me, another important thing to know about jerome is that he has an iconic stapled-on face! this is because he died once (in season two, though he came back to life for season three onwards) and one of his followers tried to revive him using some insider medical knowledge from doctor hugo strange (who is just... a whole thing. ew.). he thinks that he failed at doing this and steals jerome's face so that he can wear it on television in an attempt to control jerome's followers (spoiler: this doesn't work).
however, it turns out that jerome *was* revived from this, and he's pretty upset that some dude stole his face! so he uses a staple gun to re-attach it after he gets it back (and kills the guy who did it). his face is later punched off by jim gordon but reattached more properly during his time at arkham afterward (the carnival scene happened in season 3 and jerome came back with a kind-of healed face in season 4).
here's some gifs with jerome's messed up face!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jerome is the colorful joker because he's very much expressive. he lets out every single emotion he feels---unless he's trying to deceive someone, at which point he is a phenomenal liar. (in season 1 when we are first introduced to him, he almost successfully gets away with the murder of his own mother.)
jerome is funny and laughs a lot and is *loud.* he's also absolutely insane and incredibly cruel, as well as impulsive, but he's able to curb his instincts if he feels like he can pull off a big plan.
jerome is a showman by nature. he's a product of the circus and it *shows.* everything he does is like an act, something that is acknowledged by many people in the show.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
he's a funky lil dude. totally crazy, but kind of adorable at times.
he's also SEVERELY traumatized from his horrible past and has huge trust issues.
so, yeah. jerome is colors! remember that.
unfortunately, pookie died in season 4 and doesn't seem to have been revived this time </3
Tumblr media
now, onto his twin brother jeremiah!
Tumblr media
jeremiah is, at least at first, presented to be the complete opposite of jerome. he's calm, collected, and seemingly sane---at least at first. bruce trusts him at first and he even befriends him for a period of time before jeremiah betrays him.
jeremiah is a genius engineer, and, when looking into his past, we can assume that he was a child prodigy. he worked with thomas wayne before he died and designed the wayne plaza building under the aforementioned alias "xander wilde." he also locked himself in an underground maze for ~6 years (i believe?) and never went outside, instead sending his proxy (ecco) out to act in his place during business transactions.
as seen here, jeremiah seems to be the complete opposite of showboat jerome:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
when we first meet jeremiah, we are told that he is totally sane, but we can later see that this is not the complete truth.
i'll use jeremiah's project as a metaphor for this. jeremiah was building a set of generators which could make energy harvesting and usage much less expensive and much more bio-friendly (if i remember correctly). bruce promised to fund his project and jeremiah accepts his offer quickly.
after jerome dies in season 4 after kidnapping bruce and jeremiah, he left behind a concoction of chemicals that seemingly make jeremiah go insane. this is a play on joker toxin / joker venom from the greater dc universe.
however, after jeremiah reveals his new self
Tumblr media
he says that the spray did not actually change who he actually is, but just gave him an altered appearance. there are a lot of fan theories about this, but the general consensus is that the spray likely lowered his inhibitions, which gave him the kick needed to reveal his true self.
even his complexion resembles the joker he corresponds with: black and white. he is the black and white joker because he isn't as expressive, is way more calculated, and is more cruel and less happy. even his skin is paper white.
here's some gifs of what he looks like after those "slight cosmetic changes" :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
that looks a lot more like the joker we know and love today, right? bleach-pale skin, red painted lips, green hair. he's instantly recognizable as the stereotypical joker now.
remember when i mentioned the generators? let's go back to them. the entire time that the generators have been around, they've also been perfectly functional as powerful bombs. their ability to be used as bombs does not undermine the fact that they can also be used as generators, and both of these things were true at the same time *for the entire time they have existed.*
it is in this way that jeremiah's paradoxical nature has always existed. jeremiah is crafty, cunning, and absolutely vicious. he has no care or concern for human life in general and will sacrifice most people in his life if it means that he will get what he wants in the end.
this is shown both before and after the joker toxin in how he lied about jerome when they were children (which caused jerome to be heavily abused) and in how jeremiah willingly killed one of his most devoted and beloved followers, who was being ransomed, just because someone put him on hold and it was personally easier for him to just kill him than sit on hold on the phone for a while. (he also has a vicious streak, though, because he immediately moved the demolition of the bombs up to immediately once he was out of the blast zone because those people inconvenienced him.)
something that's important to realize about jeremiah is that he has an issue with being called crazy. jerome does, too, but he eventually comes to accept the term, almost like he's reclaiming it, but jeremiah is *violently* against it. that's one of the things that set him off in the previously mentioned interaction.
both jeremiah and jerome are obsessed with bruce, though in different ways. jeremiah sees bruce first as his best friend and later as the "brother [he] could never have, that jerome could never be." jerome just sees bruce as a particularly entertaining and interesting kid who he enjoyed tormenting who he would eventually kill.
anyway, despite jeremiah being crazy (or, depending on who you ask, just less inhibited) he is still crazy smart and calculating. he thinks through everything before he does it and his master plans seem like they go on forever with 10000 parts to them and backups and contingencies galore.
the only time that jeremiah ever really seems to break out of this is when he's fighting with bruce. while he still does have a greater point to make or something he's trying to accomplish, he thinks through things less with him and shows his impulsive and rash side a bit more, which is interesting because jerome showed his thoughtful and contemplative side when faced with the obstacle that is bruce thomas wayne. i love parallels and contrasts, especially in these two characters! i just love writing about twins, they're always so interesting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
some important things about their relationship to one another:
even though jerome kidnapped jeremiah and seemingly strapped a bomb to his neck (after breaking into his house and telling him that he would kill him), jerome doesn't seem to actually want jeremiah to die. instead, as we later find out, he wants jeremiah to unleash his true self and carry on his legacy of chaos and cruelty in gotham for him after his death. this is why he left behind the laughing gas for him.
(the fact that jerome thought to do all of that shows that he really was a smart character and that he truly did understand the world around him well. he knew exactly what would happen in the event of his death, i.e. bruce offering to fund jeremiah's work and jeremiah accepting, as is shown when jerome has the joker venom in a present box which claims to be sent from wayne enterprises.)
jeremiah *hates* to be compared to jerome in any way, as he thinks of himself as "the face of true sanity." he actually has an entire notebook full of jerome's ideas, which he says he will outdo and perfect, thus defeating his brother in the end, which i don't know if i agree with, but whatever.
i think that it's because of the reputation that jerome got at the circus. jeremiah wanted people to think of him as better than jerome and as the perfect child, which he succeeded at. to him, jerome is synonymous with crazy, which i've already mentioned that he hates to be called.
okay, just one more part to talk about. the infamous, much anticipated Mr. J!!!
Tumblr media
in the series finale, it is revealed that jeremiah, after falling into a vat of acid, is horribly disfigured and pretends to be in a vegetative state for the whole ten years that bruce is on his quest to improve himself before becoming batman. he does this as a way of waiting for bruce to come back to gotham so he can continue to be obsessed with him.
Tumblr media
however, though this is jeremiah, it seems that he has actually gone through immense mental trauma sometime during this time (perhaps during his fall into a vat of chemicals), which has caused him to sort of lose his sense of self. he once says that there was "another me" [another him] once, which is, of course, referring to jerome. this implies that jeremiah sees jerome as an extension of himself, almost, and almost makes it seem as if mr. j is a whole different entity of his own.
hopefully this clears everything up a bit for you!! let me know if you have any questions or want to know anything specific about the characters and i will be glad to oblige!
thank you once again for being so kind as to leave this ask!! it really made my day. thank you for enjoying my fic, i hope it continues to live up to expectations. i have a lot of fun things planned (and i am very happy that you decided to look into these characters more, because they are actually extremely important to the plot as we get more into the actual story!). <33

Right Where You Left Me
(Katherine Pierce x fem!reader)
Tumblr media
*image creds to owner
Word count: 730 (ish)
ps: I thought of a friendship that could have been something more but didn't have the chance.
ps2: in doubt if i finish this like this or make a part2
ps3: song is at the end
ps4: not proofread, im so sorry for any mistakes
----------------------------------------------------
1764
You were hosting the new year ball with your husband when you met Katherine. You knew how to behave during social gatherings such as this, you were trained to be a proper Lady ever since you learned how to walk. Everyone you knew or met were the same, the talks were always gossip or complimentary exchanges.
It's no wonder why you were intrigued by Katherine. A clearly foreign woman, who not only politely refused to dance with the men but also stared at you the entire night. At first you believed there was something in your face, however as the vampire continued to follow you thought she simply wanted to greet one of the hosts.
Katherine didn't truly enjoy balls but the drinks were always so tasteful, sometimes she'd even try the ones they were serving. She wanted to kill you, to know what your blood would taste like. And, well, you willingly went after her, after all you wouldn't be a disgraceful host.
The vampire asked for a tour, to which you gladly complied. She only noticed that an hour had gone by when the firework show began, and for the first time she considered not murdering you.
You both became friends in the new year and stayed that way for many more to come. You were inseparable, Katherine protected you as if her life depended on it, rarely allowing to lose sight of you.
It was in 1770 that you died through the hands of vampire hunters, Katherine killed them all.
Your turning wasn't painless, but she was there, every step of the way.
1850
Your relationship changed after your death. You finally accepted to move to the countryside with Katherine, leaving your husband and wealth behind.
It was hard for a while, however you quickly became interested in nature, studying and analyzing every movement or change the world could show you. Katherine would often play about how well you would get along with some witches, maybe even being one secretly. You would always laugh it off.
Life was stable. Just you and her.
Good things never last for long, and soon enough you both went to the New World to escape Klaus.
1864
You deeply hated the Salvatores. Every time they went after Katherine you would picture their slow and painful death. The other vampire knew that and made sure to flaunt her relationship with them when you were around.
It was a game to her, she didn't exactly like them, she liked the effect they had on you. For so long Katherine didn't understand her feelings for you, and as much as she may know now, she didn't want to be the one to admit it. Therefore, the woman played a game, how long could you handle the jealousy that was so explicit in your face.
Katherine never realized how far deep she was until it was too late. Her games became too real, she actively enjoyed toying with them, she adored how devoted they were, even if manipulated sometimes. It was too easy for her to lose herself. It needed to be over.
Unfortunately, it never truly came to an end. The abrupt vampire hunt was frightening, you desperately wanted to leave but Katherine couldn't let go.
You looked at her in a mix of confusion and sadness. "What do you mean 'no'?"
The vampire shrugged. "They'll never find us, besides I'm almost done with the boys."
You huffed. "Seriously? You would rather risk our safety for some disgusting man thing?"
Katherine chuckled and lifted her arms in mocked surrender. "Wow, didn't know you hated men so much. Wonder what your ex husband would've thought."
You rolled your eyes and straightened your hair. "I may just despise them. Can we go now? You can find another."
Katherine shook her head which caused you to sigh in exasperation.
"What are you even doing to them that is so special anyway?"
You gasped, feeling an overwhelming rush of emotions but mainly focusing on anger. "You just met them." You stated between clenched teeth.
The other vampire saw this as an opportunity, you were clearly stressed and if she pressed just the right buttons the game would be over, you would be hers. "Maybe I'l turn them."
"Yes but they are so much fun."
You shook your head. "Is that why you turned me? For fun?"
Katherine was startled for a moment, staring at you with furrowed brows. "Of course not."
"I'll wait until tonight, then I'll go."
"I can't just let it go."
"Then choose."
You waited, even longer than planned, you still waited.
She never came.

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)
so i'm gonna attempt to answer all 6 of these in one go under this one but wow.. 30? hooo boy.. let's get to it, and see how many i can manage to scrounge together
ps. up front: It took a bit actually to finish it, it kinda consumed my past day and a half but y'all this was such an exercise in self reflection because you really have to think what is it you actually like or are proud of about yourself not just list 2-3 surface lvl copout. And it turns out can be a lot more than expected. It can be small things and weird things and unconventional things. Just things. It also was such an unexpected morale boost, like.. yo.. i actually don't hate myself as much as i thought?
(also sorry for typos in advance i didn't have the mind or time to correct them, maybe later)
1. Let's start easy. My hair. The natural curls it has. I hated it for so long but by now i enjoying them so much, especially the past year or so when it got longer. (imagine will ramos type curls. it's dead on i just don't have that thick of a mane) I stil lstraighten it occasionally but not nearly as much as i used to. Also in the summer the ends go red 'cause of the sun lightening it up, which ends me up with a real fun natural kind of ombre.
2. I'm a good problem solver. I can be awful practical at times but it helps with situations that needs solving instead of panicking.
3. I kinda like the fact that despite my loath of cooking/baking and all foodmaking in general, i am a pretty good cook.
4. I'm a good listener. At least i like to think i'm a good listener.
5. I'm a fast learner especially if it is shown prolerly step by step once.
6. I'm not the most creative person on the planet but i'm fairly decent and i like that.
7. You know what, i'm actually proud of the effort i make to be judgemental as little as i can. Because nobody is perfect but i actually do try and for most part it's going great.
8. This ties into the 2nd one but i like the fact that i can be objective to a degree that i'm able to emotionally detach from situations to the point that i can assess them level headed.
9. And on that note i'm stupiddly self aware. Of my faults and shortcomings as well as my capabilieties (however limited they are) and it helps me a lot to work on myself to be a decent human being.
10. I'm really good at eyeballing things. Like for example back when i did cosplays i usually didn't had to do any sort of mental gimnastics or calculations to figure out how large my props should be. 9 out of 10 times the first draft was perfectly sized.
11. To think of it i like the fact that i not just realized but accepted that i'm not perfect, never wíll be but that is okay.
12. I'm proud of the fact that i know i'm not the smartest person in the room, ever. I'm not smart academically speaking. I'm more practical-smart, but i'm not all knowing and the knowledge of that makes me want to learn shit. Ther eis always room for improvement and learning.
13. High pain tolerance.
14. Honestly i like that i made it up until now in life and still going. It wasn't always a sure thing but for the most part i'm liking the fact that it happend. That i made it.
15. I like being on a good path with being unapologetic about who i am, what i like and why am i the way i am.
16. I'm actually good negotiator if i make an effort. I'm fairly good at diffusing arguments.
17. This is a funny one but i like that i can identify people i know by their movements from far away. See, my eyesight isn't the best so i usually memorized bodylanguage faster than faces since i was a teenager. So it lead to some fun situations like me and someone else waiting for a third and i was like yeah they are like 500 m away so you can't see the face or anything but i already knew it's the person we are waiting and people go like "wow how did you know?"
18. As messy as it is i like how my handwriting can be so varied. I learned to write tilted cursive but my grandma forced me to learn non-tilted cursive and later i started to use non cursive and it became this weird amalgamation and now i can write in a lot of different aesthetics and i like it. Also made me the go to person for forged singitures back at school but that's an other story..
19. I like the fact that i don't hold grudges. I feel like they are a waste of time and energy and just weigh you down. So i can just.. go past them. I know shit happend, i acknowledge it but i'm not agonizing over it.
20. I like the fun fact that for elementary school i wasn't put into the music specialization because i had good hearing and a decent voice but because i had unusual rythm sense for my age at that time. Than i learned to sing okay but it was so funny. Everyone around me got in because they could sing and i was just riddiculously good at replicating rythmic excercises. (crying shame my father sold out the drumkit from under my ass before i could have really gotten deep into it.. i might've ended up on a different life path.. i mean i did play bass for a time but it wasn't the same, altho i kinda feel the itch to pick it back up again for a few years now just for amusing myself at home)
21. I like the fact that dispite the school system's damnest efforts i still do a lot of thing with my left hand. I was ambidextous since birth but out ancient education system think it's better if every kid is right handed. But my parent's didn't gave a shit, just let me do my stuff however it was comfy for me. So i use for example knives with my left but write with my right, that sort of mixups. It's fun how it can confuse others when they don't know the bg story for it.
22. Honestly i joke about my eyecolour being the literal colour of goose shit but i say that because i find it extremely funny and i like weirdly funny things in general.
23. I like the fact that (as per my knowledge) i'm not allergic to anything. With the level of nihilism i sport on the self-preservation front it would have been an interesting thing.
24. On the artsy and craftsy front i can work with multiple mediums which is fun. When i feel like drawing on paper i can, when is feel like paintig i could, i can do papermashe, amateur jewellery making, sewing, i can also do paper forlding, photography, and as you saw if i have the fancy to dabble in sculpting i have a decent shot for it not turning out terrible. I'm not amazing in any of them but i'm decent enough that i'm not just enjoying the process but i actually like a fair amount of the end results.
25. I'm good with maps and navigation in general. It's very rare for me to get lost at all. (only exception is large buildings.. i'm practically direction blind in closed spaces)
26. I love the fact the i learned english essentially by playing online video games, reading comics and watching movies. Now i have an official exam paper thingie but it was an aftertought for my resumé more than anything else.
27. I like that i'm basically friends with my mom.
28. An other funny one but i find it amusing that if you talk to me about something, even if i have no idea about what you are talking about it, but if you are excited i'm going to mirror you level of excitement without conscientiously trying to do it.
29. I like my sense of aesthetics in general.
30. And i like the fact that i can pick up on the most random small details and be unreasonably excited about it. I like being excited about stuff. You know, child-like wonder and all that i guess. Dunno, i just like it.
And that is it. It was a lot but yeah.. Have a bonus cozy sleeping cat if you chew all this text:

Anchor ~Liam Dunbar
Tumblr media
Synopsis: You may have a little crush on your best friend
  ~fluff~
Warnings: none
Ps. One of my wattpad stories while I write more
School had just ended it was the first day of summer. I was quite relieved school was very stressful but thank god I got a break. I was sitting in my room quite bored my mom was at work and I was home alone. An idea struck upon me, my friends I should hang out with friends. Yeah, but Stiles and Scott were practicing lacrosse, Kira was in Mexico, Isaac was In France, Corey and Mason were hanging out, and Lydia and Malia were busy the only person left was Liam. I guess I could hang out with him. I mean Liam is my best friend but recently every time I'm around him I seem to blush. I had developed a crush on him over the past school year. Being a werewolf was easy for the most part but sometimes it wasn't especially when my emotions were heightened. I haven't really hung out with Liam for a while, so I thought maybe if I hang out with him more maybe I could get over it, right? So I decided to hop in to my car and drive over to Liam's house.
Eventually I made it to his house. I got out of my car and walked up to the front door. With a little bit of hesitation I knocked on the door. A tired, 5'10, shirtless, brown haired boy answered the door. I felt my face heating up and my eyes slowly look down his toned stomach to the grey sweatpants. My eyes slowly flickered back up to face. "Y/n can you stop checking me out and get in." Liam said as he moved out of the way so I could walk in. "You're the one without a shirt." I said trying to defend myself. "It's just you here." he stated. We walked to his room, I took my shoes off and got in his bed. "So you're gonna take over my room." He said giggling. "Yup, pretty much." I stated smiling. "So what do you wanna watch?" He asked while getting in to bed next to me and handing the remote to me. "Supernatural" I smile at him. "Ugh fine but you need to learn how to watch something else. you know there's other shows out there." He said looking at me. I laughed as we laid together.
~time skip~
We were feeling a little hungry. So we decided to go get a snack. While eating I ended up spilling my Dr Pepper all over myself. "Oh it's cold, Liam I'm so sorry I'll clean it up." I said quickly. "Y/n don't worry I've got it, go to my room and change into one of my shirts and I'll put your clothes in the washing machine." Liam stated and he assured me that it was ok. "Are you sure." I questioned feeling bad. "Yes, now go change." he said giggling. I walked to his room and I put on a soft shirt, only a shirt it was long enough to cover my asś. A light knock on the door startled me. "Come in" I said in a soft tone. He slowly opened the door, his eyes widened once he saw me. He tried to play it cool.  "Hand me your clothes so I can put them in the washer." He said with a smirk😏. After that we decided to watch more Supernatural.
~time skip~
We heard the washer beep. We walked downstairs so we can switch the wet clothes into the dryer. "hold on let me go get the dryer sheets" Liam told me. As I was tossing my clothes into the dryer my ring got caught on the belt loop of my pants and flung my ring into the dryer. Without thinking I bent over to look in the dryer and reached for my ring. Liam had came back and I hadn't noticed yet.
"Oh wow ok. I just saw a whole lotta ass." he looked at me for another second before turning his head away. I quickly grabbed my ring and I stood up immediately.
"oh my God Liam I am so sorry."
Liam tossed a couple of dryer sheets in the dryer.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were wearing some cute black lacy underwear. I would've matched with you." He laughed at his own statement.
"ha ha very funny." I said trying to hide my embarrassment.
"Y'know you could've grabbed a pair of my boxers." I rolled my eyes at him before going back upstairs.
He laid down on the bed as soon as we entered his room. I walked over to his dresser and grabbed a pair of boxers out of the top drawer.
"Cute." I looked over at him in confusion.
"Do I need to repeat myself or did you hear me the first time." He said being snarky. I rolled my eyes at him. I laid back down in bed and change the TV to Harry Potter. Liam and I weren't cuddling but we are very close. His bed was so comfortable that I ended up falling asleep.
~time skip~
I woke up about an hour and half later. It me a second to register the arm wrapped around my waist. I slowly turned my body to look over at the sleeping boy. He looked perfect but no matter how perfect he looked I had to piss. I slowly moved my body trying to get up without waking up Liam. After I used the bathroom I got back in bed. I started to admire his features and how amazing he looked. I grabbed my phone to check the time but I must've moved to much because Liam woke up.
"Good morning handsome. How'd you sleep?" I questioned.
"Well it was good until someone woke me up and I was having a good dream too ughh." He rolled his eyes at me. I lightly giggled at his annoyance.
"I'm so sorry sleeping beauty." I replied sarcastically.
"Ugh I hate you." He groaned in his tired raspy voice. I went to try to get out of bed again but a strong hand pulled me back in.
"You're not going anywhere." He wrapped his arms tightly around.
"No let me go." I giggled trying to kick him. He rolled over and pinned my arms above my head. My face got extremely hot and pink.
"No kicking." He said in a stern voice. I blew on his face and wiggled myself off the bed. I looked at him and ran to his door. Before I could get it open he came up behind me and pushed it closed. I turned around to see him leaning over me. I began to blush again but I pushed him back. I ran out the door and down the stairs but he quickly followed. I got to the kitchen but I wasn't fast enough. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I let out a squeal as he spun around.
"Put me down." I said.
"Fine." He set me on the island.
"I'm kinda hungry. Do you wanna go to a restaurant?" I asked him.
"Oo yeah I could go for some burgers right now." He said helping me off the counter. We quickly got dressed and headed out the door. I drove us to a small diner around the corner. We ate our food and had a couple laughs before leaving. I drove us to a park that had a playground. I got out of the car and ran to the playground and straight to the swings. Liam walked at a normal pace towards me. He walked behind me and placed his hands on my hips. He pulled the swing back then quickly pushed it forward. He places hand on my lower back every time he pushed the swing forward.
"Higher!" I laughed.
"As you wish." He pushed me with a little more force.
"Ok ok too high. Too high." He laughed at my words. He walked over and sat down on the swing next to mine. We sat there and swung for a little bit before slowing down the pace. I looked over at Liam. I had to tell him about my feelings towards him.
"Uh Liam. Can I tell you something?" I spoke nervously.
"Yeah of course." He said with a bright smile on his face.
"Ok but promise you'll still be my friend." I looked down at my feet.
"I will always be your friend." He reassured me.
"Ok well the truth is that I love you. I love you more than anything, and I was to scared to tell you. I'm not scared anymore." I confessed.
"Truth is Y/n that you are my anchor. I think it's cute how your heart skips a beat when I'm around you. The face you make when you're focused or the way you tap your fingers when you're anxious. I love every little thing about you." He grabbed my hand and pulled me off the swing into a long passionate kiss. I felt so relieved as if all my problems had gone away.
"Come on let's go back home and watch movies and you can stay the night." He said pulling my hand. He decided to drive this time. He placed his right hand on me lower thigh and looked over and smiled at me. We got home and changed into something a bit more comfy. As I laid there in his arms I slowly drifted to sleep.
======================== I hope you liked it. I feel like it could have been better but I'm too lazy.

Scary Marlowe - cosplay breakdown post
how did the original post get 200+ O_o' ... wow ok... did say a long post would happen if it did, so here we go!
The ultimate joke: this Seeker of Darkness was supposed to be a "closet cosplay" Spoiler alert: no, it wasn't
rest of photos frm prev posts: [ post 1 ] [ post 2 ] [ post 3 ] [ post 4 ] [ post 5 ]
PS: hopefully this outfit ramble will be useful for anyone's attempts? ✺◟(^∇^)◞✺ yeah, everyone else plz cosplay these dorks too!! This nerd is desperate for others to photos with
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Original plan: buy the Scorpion Slut shirt from the DnDaddies site, pair with whatever own, ??, Profit! oh right… Unisex sizes are a lie, not with my build. Not buying legit merch to have to disassemble & destroy (unless someone wants to buy it for me ... j/k)
No big deal, there's another still-easy-enuff second option. Lets look at the podcast official art*nods* right.. shirt with words on it, can manage this Went and bought a rando t-shirt size too big, cut off the long sleeves, started figuring out the words placement. Absolutely took too long getting the letters Exactly Right - in both duplicating the font AND spacing out the words (busty girls, ya know the pain of prints on tshirts)
Tumblr media
Then had a minute when forgot how to letters, while trying to draw a nice "S" (resisted the urge to make the meme-S. My girl would not be that mainstream)
The "stencil" is on freezer paper, any white markings is just soap fun sewing trick: if don't wanna go buy specialty pencils or chalk - sliver from an old bar of soap works just as good!! Been doin this all my life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leave t-shirt for 24hr for paint to set (then its safe to wash)
Here's where things happen: personal headcanons for this chara start bleeding in Fanart exists and is frellin AWESOME
Headcanons bit first: Scary absolutely had to have PURPLE somewhere on her (because Warlock, patron 'pact' is a Purple Robe ..etc etc etc…) The t-shirt wasn't to be too badly damaged yet because wasn't sure if would find a full fishnet shirt to wear under it OR only like.. those cheap elbow-ish length arm-warmers. If a skirt was to be involved it hadda be plaid and match other shit in the outfit* She's also a former sports kid, which somehow overlapped in my head with her still owning like 'sport branded' clothes, and either cutting off or just like badly ripping out logos, this is why holes in a specific spot *Shut up brain, we aren't literally tryin to recreate what wore back in ancient days of 2003 with the shortest-sleeves tops and long-sleeved fishnet shirts under, it paired with plaid mini-skirts
blah blah saw a bunch of cool fanart, and it sat in the back of my mind, fermenting for a few days, adding to the mental image
Oh hey, my tshirt is dry now! Don't own a good skirt to use with this, lets go to the mall real quick This is where HT completely fails me by havin anythin plaid be themed with HarryPotter, and the only other skirts (that would fit me!) are tacky as fuck or in wrong print (am all about some cute Kuromi... but not today), also comeon… not spending 40bucks for something would literally wear once. Also apparently fishnet shirts aren't a thing right now???
Bought a skirt size 3X (aka too big) for $9.50 at some random place, purely because it happened to be the closest color/print was looking for.
Tumblr media
this is where pause for a second to blast whatever factory made it Their own site photo is already bad, but damn accurate. Didn't bother matching the print at the sides? You bet! Not even pretending to care with the waistband match seam! That model is also like 20feet tall, i promise on me skirt was knee-length
but why not just go buy some fabric and the conglomerate monoculture has made sure no small local fabric stores exist! the only thing left is Amazon (aka buy online, fabric dot com is them) or go drive like an hour to closest Joanns for some quilting cotton and pray for the best....
So anyway! now i have "fabric", can arrange a skirt
At first was gonna slap some elastic inside the waistband nope, it bulks up too much, plus the skirt is too damn long on me!
K, imma just rip off the waistband and keep the zipper in side-seam and refold.... why are the pleats 'drifting' off so badly???
OH RIGHT THEY CUT THE PRINT WRONG, and here I was tryin for the easy way of eyeballing it: folding fabric by orienting to the vertical stripes printed on it
Now this is gettin personal! It is 2 in the freakin morning, and it's seam-ripper time. Everyone plz visualize this gremlin sittin on the floor, balancing an iron on her lap, ironing out the fabric to start over
Took apart everything, cut off a portion at the top (didn't wanna deal with rehemming entire bottom later, so shortening skirt goin up instead), do some damn MATH and start folding pleats with a ruler Not trusting fabric to drift yet again, baste every thing down, press everything remember kids, hips to waist difference exist! if you're doing pleats Do fold at slight angle, pin both top and bottom of pleat "closed" and try on. If your math is right it will fit both at waist and hips w/out twisting outta shape Also, if you're gonna do any sort of temporary stitching, use obnoxiously contrasting-color thread! You want it Very Visible for easier later removal
Tumblr media Tumblr media
blah blah, trim the length off the waistband piece, sew everything together. Have a skirt now! Plain long-sleeved shirt goes under the black one. Now that shirt situation all sorted - took scissors to sleeves and whatnot. Fistful of safety pins to keep them together. Looks like my clothes are very red and black, so the PURPLE will need to be in hair
at this point we remember fanart exists... or more specifically @midnigtartist because I saw those space-buns and was like ... yes... fuck yes that's whats happening with my hair for the thing!
Tumblr media
Also since she drew that check-pattern belt, and im here like hmmm, wasn't gonna have a belt but do have one in that exact colorway... Why not!
Was planning on wearing bike-shorts under the skirt - but this fanart does bring a good point - leggings! Dug up some tights didn't really care for, stuck a safety-pin on one side (to mark where front is, and it just kinda lives there now), cut them shorter (again, just drawing lines on 'em with soap while wearing them) and then (as per that silly holes headcanon) carefully sliced in some tears
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now its just down to lil bits and ends ... and HT failing me yet again because apparently ridiculous bracelets with studs is no longer a thing, they all about cutesy mushrooms, charms and... wannabe bondage garterbelts and chokers? dunno ... is this what kids r into now?
Dug around my room yet again for things to use. The braided-looking bracelets were a gift from a friend just weeks prior. He bought a bunch of those online & they didn't fit him. Plastic "tat" bracelet & choker set have owned for ...ahem... that 2003 mentioned earlier The wide leather cuff came from a RenFaire visit over a decade+ ago. The strip with the studs is a broken headband (wrapped around my wrist, held by safety-pin pilfered from friend's wallet)
cheap purple hairspray from SpiritHalloween (is a damn biohazard! holds up tho), and instead of buying black lipstick just smudged eyeshadow on lips
too many steps for an image wanted to get outta my system because of ONE EPISODE but there ya go. Cosplay just be like that! (getting Scary & Terry jr picture, worth it!)
if you've made it this far: THANX FOR READING! HAVE FEW SNAPS

Please it's pride month u legally have to tell us ur midnight crew and problem sleuth gay headcanons
ALKFDSJF MAN WHAT tbh i havent been thinking about them that much this much but i will do it for you buddy
edit: ok now that i'm done im actually all jazzed about ps/intermission again so thank you for this ask anon LOL i had a lot of fun getting to ramble on about stuff and have an excuse to neglect work HAHAHA
guess we'll stay topical and go with like gay awakening headcanons or related. just as a general reminder this is assuming theyre all humans since carapacians probably dont have sexualities defined
Problem Sleuth - I like the whole deal where sleuth assumed he was milquetoast straight for most of his life until he met slick and was like uh oh im bisexual arent i! i think he had other close call moments but sort of mental-gymnastics'ed himself into believing it was just admiration for their hardboiledness or like Friendly Comradery fit with all the intricate rituals to touch another man. fighting and arm over each others shoulders while drinking away at the bar sort of thing. falling in love with slick sort of hit him like a truck, injuries and all. he still sometimes grapples with old habits dying hard though. no i will not elaborate :( sorry.
Hysterical Dame - think she knew for forever she was bi, like i think she had a lot of anime ass moments back when she was in school where a lot of girls would fall for her Roguish Charms and outgoing personality and it was relatively easy for her to explore from there. very much the girl knight in shining armor sort of effect from her willingness to get into fights as well.
Pickle Inspector - wow i think he was well aware he was queer from the get-go. he always knew he was weird or whatever because of his grab bag of issues and quirks, so i think him realizing he was attracted to whoever was not really that big of a deal to him. less of a gay awakening more of a gay "oh i accidentally put an extra box of cereal in my shopping cart. ok". i think if he wasn't literally crawling out of his skin with psychosis and anxiety he would enjoy old drag culture a lot. but as it stands now its way too elbow-to-elbow social and young for him to really get into it. and he's much too busy... (excuse)
Nervous Broad - similar to Sleuth surprisingly i think she had a very late sort of deal where she had the classic "wait, you dont act this way when you see cute girl?" moment with her gal pals from uni. HD being very easy to get along with and very direct made it easy for NB to realize she was developing feelings for another woman. i think NB is very much like bi/pan (she doesnt really get or feel strongly about labels) but she has a really strong preference for femmes.
Ace Dick - apologies to ace dick likers who disagree but AD to me is like the Staple Early 1900s Man from the Adverts. he has a lovely wife who he loves so much and a rambunctious boy he plays catch with on the weekends and they sit around the radio to catch the regular mystery hour. he's aware that there's been a few men about town that he'd probably be willing to get to know more personally in another life, but he's fully satisfied with his little city-suburbia Classic Heterosexual Middle Aged Couple dynamic. so basically no salient gay awakening type moments, just in tune with himself to be aware hes probably not classically as straight as people assume him to be. i also like to joke internally that he considered sleuth one of those aforementioned "men about town" before the guy went and opened his mouth, demolishing the thought before it had even finished forming HAHAHA
===
now for the midnight crew...
Spades Slick - very much has lived by the code of living dangerously, down to his partners. usually tends to be drawn to the kind of people who give the impression of someone who would not have many qualms about slitting your throat in the middle of a hookup. scarysexual. think thats why in my head he's had a few on and off moments with droog (even though truthfully, droog is a lazy stringbean of a guy, despite the outward reputation that precedes him). its for sure why he's so drawn to Snowman, even though their dynamic from start to finish has never been anything close to a healthy relationship. but they both feel it works for them, so they keep going. (i think this is why him shacking up with sleuth was such a surprise to everyone that knew him well - sleuth's soft, and worse, he's got a working moral compass. that's not slick's typical mark. but he gives as good as he gets all the same, in both fighting and fucking, so slick doesnt think twice about how he's breaking status quo. and thats how he ends up catching feelings along the way). i got off topic. tldr; slicks never really thought about his sexuality so no real gay awakening moment either. more of a whoops caught feelings moment, since that was rarer and later in life.
Diamonds Droog - WORST case of hetero posturing you'll ever encounter ever in your life. kept a lot of Tasteful Female Nudes on and around him to """""accidentally"""" let slip to ascertain YES he is SO HETEROSEXUAL. there is NO DOUBT that he LOVES WOMEN. in reality he's been painfully aware that he's into men since he was practically a teen and has worked to cover that fact as thoroughly as possible since. i like to think that contributed to how he got so good at lying. and also why he's repressed as all get out fuck and extremely extremely private about his sex life. normal relationships whomst? anyways id like to direct everyone to helen's (@jawbonejoe) catholic guilt portion of the droog headcanon corner because that basically sums up a similar idea LOL
Hearts Boxcars - he's like droog where he had his gay awakening in his teen years but he was normal about it. he's just not as obvious to clock because one of his biggest hobbies is indulging in corny romance novels which are (for the most part) hetero, is passively religious, and happens to be very courteous to women as well which paints him a little as a stereotypical southern gentleman. but no hes very much a big gay man who hopes to settle down someday right proper.
Clubs Deuce - kind of a natural airhead sort of charmer, so has naturally had a lot of people of various gender identities approach him for a date or two early on. he also doesn't see the point of saying no as long as he likes them somewhat, and boy he sure does love people! later he finds out there's nifty names for the kind of people you like to date, and they come with fun colored flags - well ain't that just swell? when he gets later into his crew involvement in his early 30's, he gets less people approaching him right off the bat for intimate socializing, and since he's not really the type to reach out himself, he kind of stagnates for a while dating-wise until he hits his middle years. then he becomes Kind Of A Dilf and gets back into the dating scene. so not so much a gay awakening either.
===
im zooted atm so apologies if anything is confusing or run-on, but that's basically the 411 on my sexuality headcanons for the team and crew respectively. hope u enjoyed anon!! sorry it's long. i didnt get too much into gender stuff because to be honest, my headcanons on their gender journeys are a lot less solidified in my head. i like to go with whatever headcanons the people around me lean into, since i dont feel strongly about them. this is probably because i dont feel a strong attachment to my own gender. like if gender is a spectrum i am a mote of dust that is floating nearby. generally my defaults tend to be that PI and NB are very much genderfluid and nonbinary, slick is trans (if human - i assume that due to the nature of carapacian production, gender doesnt have the same meaning or impact as it does with humans, and therefore gender identity isnt really something that's needed for them. unless specifically they're formed and prototyped into a universe that is heavily impacted by gender, in which case they can understand it conceptually. otherwise theyre out here presenting however they want down to like re-prototyping their bodies to comfort), DMSG is intersex and identifies as a woman (whoops shes not technically team sleuth but i think about here a lot), and sonhearst likes to identify as transmasc (i like to imagine AD and WH sort of being boomers about the lingo but very much being fully supportive and loving parents about it. heart in the right place sort of comedy vibes).

Memories....
Genre: Fluff
Word count: A few hundred?
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine
Premise: Ethan gets to see Catherine's photo album.
_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>
"Ethan! Gimme a hand!" Catherine yelled across the room.
Ethan sauntered in, smirking at Catherine's awkward posture. She was practically dangling from the shelf.
Huffing at his expression, she somehow managed to climb back down.
"Could you please take that book out?" She asked.
Nodding, Ethan pulled the book out. Suddenly, he spotted a velvet album next to the book. Raising his brows, he gently pulled it out of the shelf.
"What's this?"
"Oh. My childhood photo album. I haven't seen it in such a long time."
"Let's see it together?"
"Be for real, Ramsey."
"I'm serious! I know nothing of your childhood, save your school life. Add a bonus- I've never seen any childhood photos of yours."
Pulling a face, she took the album from him, moving towards the sofa. Ethan joined her, staring at the velvet adorned book.
Catherine opened it.
Christ. She was adorable!!!!!
As they skimmed through the photos, Ethan pointed out particulars.
Tumblr media
"Damn. That's freaking cute. You look nothing short of a soft fur-ball."
"Funny."
"I know."
Tumblr media
"This is hilarious. I should go through your albums more often. When was this taken?"
"Firstly, this is awkward. Secondly, NO. You aren't going through my albums anytime soon. Thirdly, I don't even know when this was taken, for the love of God."
Ethan burst out laughing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"School shoots?"
"Nah. My parents took it some time. I wasn't even aware 'til I saw these."
Tumblr media
"This is a whachucallit? Ah. A silfi."
"Oh my God, Ethan" Catherine was practically crying from laughing.
"That's called a selfie, E."
"Whatever. Moving on. When was this taken?"
A dull flush coloured her cheeks as she suddenly looked rather hollow.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"
"I know. I'll tell you. This was taken right before we were going to the amusement park. That was about fifteen minutes before I was in the car crash..."
Catherine's face fell. Ethan, with dawning horror, remembered Catherine's mum being pregnant at that time; they had a miscarriage.
"I'm so sorry for bringing this up again-"
"It's fine."
Ethan nodded, respecting her space as he gently laced his fingers with hers. She gave his hand a tight squeeze.
"Okay, what about this picture?"
Tumblr media
"Taken at a school function. Can't really remember the year."
"Mhm."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Wow. You look older. And the outfit is also different. New school?"
"Nah. This was in high school, 11th grade. Our academy had different uniforms for juniors, middle schoolers and high schoolers."
"Oh. You look beautiful."
"Meaning to say I don't look beautiful at other times, Ramsey?"
"No, I meant- I mean-" Ethan stopped short, grumbling when he noted Catherine's mischievous twinkle before her lilting laugh burst through.
"Really."
"You make it too easy, Ethan."
Tumblr media
"Where was this taken?"
"My parents have taken so many shots of me, and I was unaware of it till date, Ethan!"
"Although, I do remember the outfit vaguely....maybe this was when I visited Rajasthan? Can't remember exactly..."
"Ooh. Last one. Your parents?"
Tumblr media
"Mhm. This was clicked at the airport, right before I flew to Delhi for AIIMS."
Ethan nodded. "Have any more albums?"
"Yeah. Loads more. Not today, though. I will show you some other time."
Ethan grinned.
"Can't wait."
_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>_>
Yep. That was only Album 1.
Thanks for reading!
PS: Whachucallit is my modified version of "What d'you call it" in case you're confused.

Some thoughts about Siege and Storm- Part 2
And the suffering continues!!
I don't know if I already said it, but neither this or the other posts like this about sab trilogy should be taken seriously. They are not me really trying to analyze or criticize the books, they are just me feeling bored and annoyed by the book and its characters.
Funny because Alina cannot kill a deer or a sea monster, but she has no problem letting a bunch of people die.
She didn't kill it alone. Incredible. I cannot believe Mal had to help her.
Also I'm really freaking slow. I finally realized why in the Brazilian version of the book and series Mal's nickname is not Mal. Instead his nickname is Maly, mal in portuguese is an adverb that means not well done, and as a substantive it can be used to refer to illness, problems, sorrows. You also use it to say someone is evil. Ele é do mal- He is evil.
In the moment Nikolai is the only person that is not annoying in this book.
And I just cannot feel Alina's emotions... like she says she is annoyed at the Stormhound but why?? They just talked a little and then suddently she anounces she wants to punch him. And that is it. It all feels so cold and emotionless and fake. I just cannot care for what she feels. I'm sorry Alina.
Alina trying to discuss about how the magic works with Nikolai is so funny because she doesn't understand how the magic works. She only knows the basic of the basic. I think she didn't even read that book the Apparat gave to her. What does Alina really know about Grisha magic??
Thank you Nikolai for pointing out how Alina doesn't think about other people.
Sooo Tamar also likes men??
You know, I think that until Mal suggested that Alina was a greedy person she didn't sound greedy about the amplifiers at all. She was just thinking about the situation she was.
Ok, maybe I'm being dumb or just not really paying attention on the book, but Alina using her power at night is stupid right? Like she basically became a lighthouse showing where she was to the Darkling. Or no, again idk. (I was right!!)
Well at least now Alina doesn't seem to think the amplifiers are the most disgusting thing in the world.
Mal, she was only glowing. How does that make her look bad??? Or mean, idk what word was used in the English version.
At least Mal is trying to not be a jerk about Alina's power i guess.
Why we know so little about Novyi Zem, when it is the only place besides Ravka where Grisha can be safe and in all the books we have grisha mc???
The best thing in this book until now was the fact Mal lost every fight with Nikolai.
Hummm, it is just me or Mal is easy going to anyone but Alina?
Ahhh Nikolai, why did you have to describe zemenis like that?
Wow, one of the first things Alina noticed about Nikolai was how handsome he was. I am so surprised.
Really Alina, punching a prince??
This book is boring, there is action happening and I feel bored.
The best parts of this book is Nikolai entering a conversation out of nowhere.
Nikolai tried to write poems, interisting.
Mal and Alina need to learn to better control themselves.
It is nice to see a character being rational again.
Also why Nikolai is trying to convince Mal?? He wants to marry Alina, he needs to talk to her not to her boyfriend.
At least Alina said they shouldn't be talking about her like she wasn't in the room.
Alina should have accepted Nikolai's proposal.
Alina, please get some sense. An entire freaking country is not more important than your relationship with Mal!!!
Also what the hell are you gonna do with the Second Army? You know nothing about anything basically. How do you think you can lead it?
Alina it is necessary to have knowledge and experience to lead an army, not only "power"
Best regards,
Me.
Ps.

New Kid
Adam x Male Reader
Genre: Fluff
Request: I love your writing and I want to know if you can do Adam Davenport x male reader where the reader is the is new the new kid in the school and the reader is shy and quiet. And Adam find the reader cute because of his shy and quiet nature so he always tries to get the reader's attention until he asked him out and to be his boyfriend. PS I hope you have a good day 👉🏾👈🏾❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
A/N: Thanks, hope you like this one.
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)
You just moved to Mission Creek and just started going to school. Being the new kid was a bit nerve wracking, especially for you. You didn't know anyone and making friends wasn't something that came easy to you.
You managed to make it through the first half of the day alright, but then there came lunch. You stood there with your tray of food looking for a place to sit. All the tables were occupied and you felt awkward just plopping yourself at a table full of strangers.
Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo sat eating lunch when they noticed you.
"Hey, isn’t that the new kid?” Bree said.
“I think he was in my English class this morning.” Leo mentioned
Adam’s attention was immediately caught by you and wasn’t that that focus on the conversation. “We should get him to come sit over here.”
“Adam, you can’t just invite some stranger to-- and he’s already gone.” said Chase, watching get up.
Bree hit him lightly. “Chase, c’mon, don’t be a dick.” 
You noticed Adam walk up to you. “Hi, I’m Adam.” he said with big friendly smile.
“Hi.” you said, your voice soft and quiet.
“What’s your name?”
“Y/N.”
“You want to come eat with us?”
“Sure.”
“Awesome!” he said. Adam brought you over and pulled a chair out before pulling his chair up next to you. “Guys, this is Y/N. Uh, this this my sister Bree and brothers Leo and Chase.”
You gave them a small wave.
“So how do you like Mission Creek?” asked Bree.
“It’s alright, I guess.”
“Trust me, it’ll get better. Well, except for Principal Perry, you’ll never get used to her.” joked Leo.
“Yeah, remember when she almost made Chase pee his  pants yesterday?” Adam said, laughing.
“Adam!”
“But you know what you will like? The cafeteria food. Check out these tater tots.’ he said, throwing one from his tray up in the air and caught it in his mouth.
The second he tried to catch a tater tot, he missed and it hit him on the forehead. The others laughed and you felt your lips twitch into a smile. You guys  kept making small talk during lunch and by end it you felt more comfortable about your first day.
After that, you went on with your life, saying hi whenever you ran into each other and sitting down with the group at the lunch since you didn’t really have other friends. However in the mean time, Adam was developing a bit of a crush on you and trying to catch your attention was all he seems to think about.
Like the times where you had P.E. class together and you would be on the bench and he would be on the basketball court  call your name just so you could watch him try to score a basket blindfolded or however else he could think of. Or the times where he would prank Chase to see your reaction. Or just basically all the other times he did something stupid to impress you.
The four of them were lounging around in between classes talking about Adam’s failing grades which came to no one’s surprise and then you came by to switch out your books from your locker.
“Y/N!” Adam said, head eyes lighting up as soon as he saw you.
“Hi...” you said, adjust the strap of your book bag. “What’s up?”
“You’re good at math right?”
You scratched the back of your head. “Yeah, I guess..”
“You think you can tutor me?”
“What? I’m great at math, why don’t you just ask--” Chase said before he was cut off by Bree elbowing him.
“Sure.” you agreed.
“Great! You’re the best!” he said, getting up to hug you and picking up off the ground. “Are you good to come over after school today?”
You straightened out your clothes after he put you down and nodded. “Yeah. I’ll just let my parents know.”
“Cool, see you then.”
. . .
Once school was out, you got a ride with them over to their and man were you impressed as soon as you step inside.
“Wow. This place is huge.” you said to yourself as you looked around in awe.
“If you’re impressed by this you should see all the other rooms.” Leo told you.
“Anyway,” Bree said, grabbing Chase and Leo as she led them to the basement. “You two have fun. We will be downstairs watching a movie.”
“Ooh a movie!” Adam said.
Chase furrowed his eyebrows. “Adam. You’re staying up here with Y/N.”
“Oh, right.”
You smiled softly at his forgetfulness.
Bree and the boys finally left and you and Adam settled on the couch to crack open your books. The tutoring session went fairly, sure you had  get him to him to regain focus again and again, but you didn’t. Adam had been so nice to you since day one and even though he wasn’t the smartest, none of that mattered. Plus you found it kind of cute whenever he did get off topic it was almost always show off for you.
All your other tutoring session went about the same, but you guys had fun. The others also  began to tease about having a crush.
Adam and Bree were walking in the halls together, talking about you yet again.
“Just ask Y/N out already. What are you waiting for?”
“I don’t know, usually I’m really good at asking out. Oh my god, am I turning into Chase?”
“Don’t worry nobody can be as bad as Chase.”
“Then I don��t get why I can’t ask him out.”
“Well here’s your chance,” she said as soon as she spotted you coming their direction. “Hey, Y/N, Adam wants to ask you something.”
She pushed him towards you and quickly got out of there. Adam stumbled but regained his balance and immediately tried to make himself look cool by leaning against the wall. “’Sup.”
“Hi.” You said, hugging your books. “So what did want to ask me?”
“Right. Uh.. I was wondering... If you wanted to to go to that fair on Friday.”
“Sure. What time are you guys thinking of going?”
“I was actually thinking of it being just us...”
“Oh, why aren’t Bree, Chase and Leo coming?”
“It’s a date!” he blurted. “I’m trying to ask you on a date. ‘Cause I.. like you..”
Suddenly your cheeks were flushed. “I am so sorry, I feel like such an idiot now. Um, yes. I would really like to go out with you.”
Adam punched the air. “Awesome! I’ll see you then.” he said before quickly running off to find his sister again.

Hello Strangers!
Tumblr media
Hope all you guys are awesome! Everything with the move is going okay. Staying with a friend for now due to a goof with my voucher paperwork, but that just means that I can enjoy her company and local stuff. I mean, I've went to the Smithsonian three times now! ^_^
The first was the Natural History Museam which honestly blew me away. We went in when it opened and left when it closed and STILL didn't see everything. It was very interactive, I was able to touch an actual meteorite, the bones were fascinating (human and animal both), there were so many examples of everything from stone tools to pottery and early art to early inventions (like wooden sunglasses!), the minerals were facinating and beautiful (so many were in shapes that looked man-made!), and the ancient Egyptian exhibit left me reflective and a little sad. If you are ever in that area of the US, it's worth a visit (open all the drawers). I even liked their gift shops! No pictures though. It honestly didn't cross my mind while I was running around like an excited toddler XD
The second was my solo trip to the National Gallery of Art. When it came to the paintings, I loved the Van Gogh, Da Vince, and Degas the most, but a lot of the art wasn't my style. Still, I seen many beautiful pieces. The furniture was surprisingly beautiful. And the sculptures? Just... wow. Here are a few pictures I took (ones without any nudity of course)...

Sculptures with nudity that I loved were Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science, Amazon Preparing For Battle or Armed Venus, Diana and a Hound, The Reading Girl, The Greek Slave (far more amazing in person than the online pics I found), and several others I forgot to get the name of.
My third trip was to the American Indian Museum with my friend and... it was rough. A lot of it hit me right in the heart, especially since I have a good chunk of Native American in my bloodline. Seeing the artifacts mixed with modern Native art was refreshing as I was worried they would be treated as a culture long since passed. The genocide. The culture destruction. The child abductions and treatment. Manifest destiny. Poverty. Mistreatment. The terrible things still happening even a few decades ago... it was a lot. When we looked at some of the exhibits, I knew what some of the things were for. I recognizes symbols that I never knew had meaning. I seen a quilt pattern that my mamaw used. I would start talking and stop myself a lot because I felt like I had no right to because I'm too white. My dad's onyx hair and burgundy skin didn't get passed down to me. Brown hair. Hazel eyes. Pale skin. I felt like I was intruding. All I knew was what my papaw (father's father) let slip here and there, but it was rare. My mother's father died long before I was born (and wouldn't have said anything anyway). All I have are a few arrowheads and a few stories. I honestly never expected it to hit me so hard.
The museams I still plan on seeing with my friend are the African American Museum, the National Zoo, Air and Space Museum, Natural History Museum (again because I love that place), and maybe the Smithsonian Gardens. Solo trips would be African Art Museum, Renwick Gallery (contemporary), Hirshhorn (sculpture), Freer Gallery of Art (Asian art), and Sackler Gallery (Asian sculpture). The American History Museum will have to wait a while. I don't think I would be able to enjoy it right after going to the American Indian Museum.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to interview for an apartment that I hope to get. It's really disability friendly (no required stairs, multiple decent sized elevators, nice staff, indoor mail system near an elevator that emails you if you have a package to pick up, multi-story parking garage that lets you park on your floor, small washer/dryer in each unit, decent sized stairs with good stable handrails, optional handrails for shower, easy open doors,...), accepts vouchers, energy efficient, and under my budget. The staff is also friendly and they have no pest complaints. Fingers crossed!
PS: I am sorry for being gone so long and that I still can't be active like normal. Between the move, migraines, friend time, museums, trying to transfer everything, applications, fun time with kitty earmites, and everything else, I just don't have the time! I'm even a month behind on tv, YouTube, and fics! But I'm really happy here. Really truly happy ^_^
