You've always felt like an outsider, so different from people around you. You were constantly surrounded by couples, soulmates to be exact. To be honest, you found the idea of soulmates a little bit too much, too controlling as to how you had spend your life with someone you've just met.
But there was still comfort in that thought, as controlling this whole thing sounded, it still was a reassurance that there is a person who is so much suited for you that they can be called your soulmate. That no matter what at the end of the day, that person understood you better than anyone else, even if they've known you for mere hours.
So really do you find these soulmates? Everyone is given a bracelet with a distinct charm on it at the young age of 10. These charms are supposed to link together when you meet them, they're stuck together for as long as the charm wants.
And although your charm was pretty looking, it still got stuck in inconvenient things. Your wrists turning red at the harsh metal. It looked pretty but was a bit too uncomfortable.
Although the thought of soulmates made you feel giddy, couples were insufferable in your early years of high school, constantly reminding you what you did not have. Or what you did not find.
But as you grew older, your excitement about finding your soulmate grew less and less. Many people found their soulmates at the beginning of high school, some even in middle school. Your parents found each other when they were 15, your older brother found his soulmate when he was 16. And at the age of 18, you felt everyone look down on you with pity.
And whatever hope you had, had started to diminish as you were now in your last year of high school. Just a year away from graduation, everyone around you was constantly worried about whether you would find your 'meant-to-be' or not.
Finding your soulmate way later in life wasn't unheard of, but the chances of finding that person becomes really low the older you get.
And so your parents decided for you that you should meet new people, hangout more often because apparently the reason you haven't found your soulmate is because you don't socialise. Which is understandable, considering you only have a set of friends that you interact with.
Thankfully, you did not have any problem with making friends. But sticked to the few you trusted, well because everyone at your school is either a crackhead, doesn't understand boundaries or just so much drama. So you happily agreed to going our more often when your parents mentioned.
But what was annoying was that you were being dragged to a different school's yearly festivals. Well not really annoying, now that you were promised a treat from your friends.
Someone in the group, you failed to notice who, had mentioned that you all should split in groups and explore whatever you wanted, since everyone wanted to do a different thing. And initially you had two of your friends with you, but after a while of mindlessly strolling you realised that you were alone, your friends vanishing, leaving you with a cat plushie you won.
You wandered around, looking around to find your friends as well as looking for something interesting to waste your money on.
You spotted someone wearing an orange beret, similar to what your friend had worn in the morning. Unfortunately the person was slowly going out of your line of sight and merging into the crowd. You had to move quickly and soon enough you were trying to push past a bunch of people.
You broke into a small jog, the person finally in your line of sight. But just then you felt a harsh tug on your wrist, it definitely wasn't someones hand that was gripping yours.
It didn't take you long to realise what the tug was, you slowly turned, hoping that your bracelet didn't get stuck in some random person's sleeve.
As you turned, you were met with wide worried eyes that were scanning your wrist. Your eyes moved down, still internally hoping, and the sight that you had dreamed numerous times was in front of you. In that moment, you just felt this strong urge to cry, no one in your life could understand the times you had felt alone while everyone around you just seemed so happy.
And no matter how much you try to gaslight yourself, you had desperately wanted to meet your soulmate. Everyone described it like such an enchanting moment, your mom said it felt like sparks were flying, you would feel that you've known this person your whole life.
But right now, the person in front of you seemed so unfazed about the fact that he had just found his soulmate. Rather he was focused on the fact that your wrist was bright red, it burned due to the harsh tug and there was a small cut that he hasn't seen yet.
"Are you okay?" he said, finally meeting your eyes, his own searching for any pain on your face. Surely you felt enchanted, not only because this was your soulmate, but also because he was the epitome of 'handsome yet cute'.
He tilted his eyes, confused at you blankly staring. No scratch that, he was cute as fuck.
Snapping out of the trance he had put on you, you say "Yeah, I'm fine." your whole face was burning up at his intense staring. You were surprised you managed to sound normal.
"I don't think this is gonna let go any time soon." he said, talking about the charms. "Do you mind if we hung out together? Consider this our first date. My name is Jungwon." he said, gently smiling, dimples appearing on his cheeks. God he was too cute.
Clearing your throat, you managed to nod and return his smile, your eyes still staring at his dimples.
He looked behind his to tell his friends to go on without him, you just realised that there were around half a dozen people behind his that were just staring at you, trying to bore holes into you. A couple of them had a teasing smile when you looked at them, two of them covering their wide open mouths. Only one person seemed laid back and he motioned Jungwon to go on, dragging the others away with him.
Jungeon looked back at you after making sure his friends weren't fooling around or staring at you, "Let's go?" he said still smiling. You felt like you were going to combust.
The rest of the day was spent getting to know each other, Jungwon surprisingly being a very easy person to talk to. You both opened up about how you two were the only people in your respective friend groups who were soulmate-less, "Well, not anymore." was his reply, with a cheeky grin, avoiding your eyes.
And despite how respective he was, he was also flirty. Like not flirty in a creepy way, he was still respectful of your boundaries but he had some kind of charm that just made you flush bright red. Or maybe you were just whipped for him, despite knowing him for such a small time.
With red cheeks and shy waves, and a promise to meet again, the date had ended.
You could finally understand why people could write whole books just about their soulmates, you felt such a deep sense of endearment when you looked at him. You finally understood why your friends were so whipped for their soulmates, constantly yapping about them.
Your friends were surely going to hear an earful for leaving you alone, but you had a feeling that you were going to talk way more about Jungwon.

Sacred New Beginnings
Chapter 5
A/N- this is NOT a finale guys! After much deliberation I decided I have too much to say for only 3 chapters, so we are on this train until I’m ready to give it up! 😂
Summary- it’s the morning after Mav and Penny’s wedding, and there are revelations to unpack as new drama unfolds.
Song inspo- Sunday kind of love- Etta James, You send me- Sam Cooke, Ironic- Alanis Morissette, Karma- Taylor Swift
Pairing- Jake Seresin x reader (oc Stormy)
Warnings- language, drinking, smut (wrap it up kids) minors dni.
Tumblr media
Bradley wakes up to one of the worst hangovers he’s had in his adult life. He made it home and proceeded to drain most of his liquor cabinet after the wedding, it had been a bad day all around and seeing you and Jake wrapped up in each others arms after years of worrying was the icing on the cake. He knew logically he had no room to be pissed off, you knew everything now and there would be no salvaging your love life. He had hoped to explain it himself, maybe find a way to convince you it was nothing but in reality he knew that wasn’t the case. He’d continued a relationship with Mirage after you left, whether or not it was just sex didn’t really matter, he’d slept with someone else. His therapist had told him weeks ago that he believed Bradley was in love with the idea of love and having a family, less in the people he was in relationships with and while it had hurt to hear he knew somewhere in him it was true.
He’d loved the attention and adoration from his partners, and some part of him had loved Stormy once; but the two of you disagreed fundamentally on so many things. You were career driven, he wanted you to retire in the next 5 years so you could start a family, he wanted to stay in California and you had always dreamed of settling down south near your grandmother’s old home. When he’d seen you becoming more successful than him it had set a fire in him and he used it to burn your relationship to the ground. He didn’t deserve you, and he certainly didn’t get to dictate who you chose to be with after him.
As he stumbled through the house to let out his dog he appraised the damage. His clothes were scattered everywhere, liquor cabinet raided and somehow he’d left the fridge open. He was a mess right now, if his mother could see him she’d be so disappointed. He finally finds his phone in the couch cushions, messages and missed calls from Nat and Rueben clogging his notifications. He couldn’t dig into all of that right now, so he just called Nat to let him know he was ok, yanking the phone from his ear as she screamed into the phone.
“WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!”
“Jesus dude I was asleep what the hell is wrong? You have a key you could’ve just come over if it’s that serious, who died?”
“Bradley. You haven’t been on instagram today have you?”
“No, but I already know about Jake and Stormy so if they went instagram official I’d rather not-“
“Wait what?! Never mind that’s not what this is about. You need to go to Mirage’s profile, right now.”
Bradley scrolls through the app and clicks on her profile, expecting to see she decided to stop waiting on him and find a boyfriend now or something stupid like that, only to be met with a carousel of photos. Pictures of the two of them, and at the end a picture of a pregnancy test, two pink lines confirming something he never dreamed of. Not only had she hard launched them, but she also told the world he was going to be a father
without confirming with him first. He was fucked.
——————————————————————
Meanwhile on the other side of North Island Jake is waking up to his version of heaven. His bed may be empty but he can hear the soft sound of you singing, and the smell of coffee and pancakes has him wandering down the hall. Your hair is in a messy knot, you’ve got one of his Texas longhorn t shirts on and you and Patsy Cline are crooning “Walking after midnight.” Flitting back and forth between chopping fruit and flipping pancakes, you sway to the song (your grandmother’s favorite) and he’s sure this is the best morning of his life. He sneaks up behind you to spin you and you shriek and giggle, swatting him with the spatula as he kisses your cheeks and forehead.
“Morning Tex, how’d you sleep?” You say with a big grin, running your free hand over his tanned torso and you catch him close his eyes and shiver into your touch.
“Mm, I’ll be honest darlin’ might have been the best night of sleep in my whole life, ‘cept I woke up alone and almost thought you were a dream.” He plucks the spatula from your hand and hip bumps you away from the stove, taking over your spot cooking and you make your way to the coffee pot to pour him a mug.
“I uh- I cancelled my flight for this afternoon” you’re trying to be nonchalant about it but you can tell by the way his head snaps up he is holding on to your every word.
“And I may have asked Uncle Beau for a favor and extended my leave for the rest of the week
 I hope that’s ok, I’m not ready to leave you yet.”
You look a little nervous as he turns the stove off and looks at you, but he takes two big strides and yanks you into his arms, pulling at your (his) shirt and kissing you hard and you know you had nothing to worry about.
You both laugh into each other’s mouths, he’s hoisted you into his arms and delicately places you on the kitchen table, rucking your shirt above your breasts as he nips and sucks on the exposed skin.
“Jake- breakfast” you breathe out and he grins up at you between your thighs
“I want you for breakfast first baby, then we can have pancakes. Be a good girl and take it ok?”
He brings you to your release three times before he lets you up, grabbing the plates from the counter and sitting you in his lap. Between bites you reach into his shorts and pull him free lining yourself up with him and he hisses into your mouth.
“What’re you up to sweet thing?”
“Shhh, wanna be close baby, need you”
You take turns feeding each other while you slowly rock yourself on Jake, and it definitely is the best morning either of you have ever had.
——————————————————————
Neither of you had even touched your phones since you left the wedding the night before, it was nearing 5 pm and you had spent the day watching movies and letting Jake fuck you in every room of his house, finally deciding the two of you needed to eat you dragged yourself to his room to get your phone off the charger to order takeout. When you turned your phone on you were bombarded with notifications, nearly deciding to just turn it back off once you noticed you had a notification from Bradley. You ordered dinner and continued to ignore the overwhelming amount of messages, annoyance etched on your face when you came back to the living room, and Jake reached for your phone already knowing you wouldn’t want to pop the perfect bubble of the day.
“You don’t have to look at any of this shit today if you don’t want to y/n, we can worry about it tomorrow.”
You sighed and ran your hand over your face, it wasn’t that easy even if he tried to make it that way. “Will you just look for me? Tell Nat I’m not interested in hashing out the drama tonight and we can talk at lunch.”
He nodded and scrolled through, but as you watched his face you immediately knew something was wrong.
“Ok maybe you do need to tell me, what happened? Is someone hurt?”
He shook his head but looked almost nauseous, so you yanked the phone from his hands, he didn’t even bother to try and keep it from you.
On the screen was almost 30 messages from Phoenix, begging you not to check instagram. It had been hours since her last message but she seemed insistent that you call her first. She picked up on the first ring, screeching into the phone before you could say anything.
“Jesus! Where the fuck have you been Stormy? I had half a mind to come over to Hangman’s to beat the door down.”
“We decided to shut our phones off, sorry Tash. What is wrong? Please tell me everyone is ok.”
“Everyone’s safe, it’s not that kind of emergency. But it’s not good y/n. Bradley apparently saw the two of you last night, and then
”
“Then what? What Nat?”
“Y/n
Mirage is pregnant.”
——————————————————————
You knew it was the wrong way to respond, Jake had dropped his fork right out of his mouth at Nat’s declaration; that definitely seemed like more of a normal response. You on the other hand looked unhinged as doubled over in laughter, gasping for air as tears poured from your eyes.
“Seresin, what’s happening? Is- is she laughing?”
Jake looks at you like you have 3 heads but still manages to take your phone from your shaking form,
“Yeah Phoenix it looks like it”
“Do we need to be worried?”
“Too soon to tell, let me figure this shit out and we’ll call you later.”
He hangs up and takes your hand, you’re coming down from it now as you swipe the tears from your face, still trying to stifle giggles.
“Oh God,” you gasp out “I’m so sorry, but you seriously can’t make this shit up can you?” You erupt into another round of giggles and now Jake can’t help but join in, this really is a shitshow.
Finally you settle and he looks at you with concern, but you wave him off and move your take out boxes to the coffee table as you scoot into his lap. Running your hands through his hair you lean in to kiss him and as much as he doesn’t want to he pulls back to get you to look at him.
“I’ll let you bury yourself in me if you need baby but you still gotta talk to me ok? What’s going on in that pretty head?”
You shake your head at him and peck his lips, you knew he wouldn’t let you get away with pushing it aside.
“Is it strange that I almost feel bad for him? He’s burned his whole world down, knowing what I know now I would never want to be around him let alone with him again, and while I have thrived in his absence he just keeps ruining his life. I don’t miss him, but I pity him. Does that make sense?”
It’s definitely not the response he expected, he thought you’d be hurt and that it would rehash all the emotional damage you’d dealt with, he can’t help but be impressed.
“You’re taking this a whole lot better than I thought sugar, I gotta be honest.”
You pull him close as you straddle his hips, running your nose along his cheekbone and press kisses to his face.
“Like I told you, I don’t miss him. I don’t want him. I want you. This isn’t avoidance Jake, I moved on and I want to spend the rest of my life with you if that’s what you want too. So can we stop worrying about Rooster and his emotional bullshit and just go back to being us?”
He lets you take the lead, settling into the couch with you and switching the long forgotten movie back on, whatever his wingman’s problems are don’t include him after all. He’s got bigger things on his mind, like getting you back to San Diego or requesting a transfer to Pensacola. Maybe getting the two of you a bigger house with a yard, a dog or two and a backyard big enough to fill with your own kids. As he falls asleep trapped under your warm embrace visions of what could be dance behind his eyes, and he makes a mental note to ask his mother for Grandma Seresin’s engagement ring.

lemme just document on here how cpfs continue to clown sina weibo 😂😂😂 no matter how much they come up with ways to censor lol. there is nothing that i want to see more than see that company scratch their heads cause we always find a way. this is all related to fan voting for weibo night tickets. as much as i hate weibo, it’s our best bet for the two of them to attend the same event.
the first modification is at first, you can see the profile picture of the top 5 fans in the voting homepage. of course, all fan sites changed it to ZZ/WYB. so what they did is change it so it will only display top 1-5 and the photos won’t be visible. you can only see it when you try and view the rest.
Tumblr media
next is the list inside, you can see the profile photo. i think this one was influenced by other fandom/s too. cause some where changing their profile photos to the same ones to show off how their fandom is dominating the list. but i think what really broke them was when we spelled out bjyxszd lol. they made the pfp disappear again and just displayed numbers to prevent it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and now, they even shortened the display names lol but that’s fine cause the first characters are so obvious whose family they are.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they changed it from top 30 to 40 and increased the voting time for idk what reason. i mean, they started this voting system for tickets so they should know that certain fandoms will mobilize. if they wanted this to be fair game, they should have just given things per fandom. but no. sina weibo loves voting that actually means nothing when it comes to the actual ceremony cause everyone gets an award.
it’s freakin hilarious cause other fandoms accuse us of being insiders lol. how? when we’re being suppressed like this. anyway, we will always find a way. this fandom is tough and no one can beat us if we set our minds on something. đŸ’ȘđŸŒ

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to - Chris Evans x Reader
A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SOON TO BE SEXIEST SILVER FOX IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!! I hope Chris has a fabulous time in London for his birthday, and we brits are very proud to host him on this very special day đŸ„°
Summary: Chris had loved every moment of the Lightyear press tour right up until today
Word Count: 1.4k
Warnings: Angst! Fluff! Allusion to Smut! Language!
Tumblr media
Chris normally hated having a big fuss made over his birthday. He didn’t need a big party or lots of presents. He just enjoyed spending some time with his family, drinking a couple beers and relaxing. Something he’d done on Saturday in his LA home.
But waking up completely alone in a London hotel, with not even dodger around still felt pretty crappy.
He knew it was going to be this way, and he knew it couldn’t be helped. But he still wished the London premier of Lightyear hadn’t fallen on his birthday. A day that if he was back in Boston it wouldn’t matter if his family was busy, and his niece and nephews were at school, because he’d still see everyone in the evening.
What he hated the most though was that you weren’t here, and he only had himself to blame. He was the one who convinced you it was fine, that it didn’t bother him. You had a big meeting with a client today and it would look bad if you moved it for him. So he told you to stay at home and smash your meeting and he’d see you on FaceTime later.
God why was he such a selfless meatball
Reaching over to the bedside table he grabbed his phone. He saw a few text messages from his UK based friends. So far nothing from his family or you but it was 3am back in Boston and midnight in LA so he couldn’t really blame them.
A pang of homesickness hit him as he thought about you, knowing you’d be curled up fast asleep in bed, arm probably outstretched to his side of the bed. So he pulled up the text chain with his manager and asked her to sort the earliest flight back, he didn’t care if he had to fly coach, he just wanted to be back with you.
With a long sigh Chris pushed himself up from bed and started to get ready for a day of press junkets. When he got out of the shower, walking back into his room he saw his phone light up. Grabbing it hoping it was his manager confirming the flights but to his delight it was you.
Y/N: Happy birthday sweetheart, I know you’re probably busy already but have a great day and I’ll talk to you later xxx
Chris: Thank you sweetheart, can’t wait to talk to you later, now get some sleep I know its late in LA and you need to smash that meeting xxx
Y/N: don’t worry I have my stand in snuggle buddy xxx
Chris smiled as you attached a photo of you curled up in bed with Dodger fast asleep lying next to you.
Chris: glad to see it, and only slightly jealous 😂 good luck with your meeting and I’ll talk to you later xxx
Chris continued to get ready for the day, putting on the outfit his stylist had set aside for the press junkets. Letting out another long sigh Chris mentally prepared himself for the day. He’d been enjoying doing press for Lightyear, the LA premier was the first premier he’s actually enjoyed being at in years. He felt like a kid going to the cinema for the first time. But today he was back to dreading it, wishing he was doing something else instead.
The day went by painfully slowly, alternating between zoom interview and in person ones. Every person he met was lovely, wishing him a happy birthday, but he just didn’t want to be there. It didn’t help that the ended up running behind too.
By the time Chris was making his way back to the hotel room he was exhausted. All he wanted was to collapse in bed and call you, talk to you until he fell asleep but he couldn’t. He had to start getting ready for the premier, his call with you still hours away.
He was so tired that when he opened the door to his room, the fact that the lights were on didn’t alarm him. He just didn’t even notice, letting out a long sigh as he dropped the key and his phone down on the small table by the door.
“I was beginning to worry you weren’t coming” he then heard making him jump.
He looked up eyes widening is disbelief as he saw you sat on his bed smirking over at him. He blinked a couple of time taking a few hesitant steps forward trying to work out if this was really happening or if this was jet lag catching up with him.
You smiles at him warmly standing up from the bed and closing the gap. Chris remained completely still as you rested your hands on his chest smiling up at him.
“Yes I’m really here and no this isn’t jet lag” you tell him with a gentle shake of the head “Happy Birthday sweetheart” you smiled cupping his cheek and gently kissing him.
It wasn’t until he felt your lips on his that he actually believed you were here. Snapping back to reality he instantly responded, fingers running through your hair as he cupped the back of your head. His other hand gripping your hips possessively closing any remaining distance between you.
Chris wasn’t expecting to see you like this until tomorrow at the earliest. He’d thought about your reunion all day, what he’d do when he saw you again, to the point he was struggling to hold himself back as he deepened the kiss. Feeling you hum in content as he grabbed your ass.
“As much as I love where this is going” you pant, your voice barely above a whisper as Chris attacked your neck “the team are literally just outside and I don’t think they’ll appreciate us being late to the premier” you finally get out.
Chris lets out a light chuckle, dropping his forehead against your shoulder as he nods “okay, okay” he pants catching his breath “but as soon as the premier is over we are coming straight back here and I’m having my way with you” he smirks pressing another deep kiss to your lips.
“Anything for you birthday boy” you smirk.
Chris smiles down at you shaking his head in disbelief “i still can’t believe you’re here, what happened to your meeting?”
“He called late last night saying he had a family emergency and had to postponed the meeting so I booked the earliest flight I could and here I am” you smile running yours hands over his shoulders.
“But you texted me from bed” Chris pointed out.
“I took that photo hours before I sent it, I was actually boarding the plane when I was texting you” you explain making Chris laugh in disbelief.
“You must be exhausted” Chris sigh, reaching up to push some hair off your forehead.
“I am but it was worth it, now c’mon we have a premier to get to” you smile spurring him into action, your presence giving him more energy than he’s had all day.
The entire time he got ready for the premier he couldn’t help but steal glances at you, as if you could disappear at any moment. It didn’t help that you looked incredible too, your dress perfectly complimenting his outfit. He had to give it to his stylist, because if he didn’t know any better it appeared as if you were meant to be here this entire time.
When you stepped onto the red carpet together Chris had his arm around you as soon as he could. He had no plans to let you leave his side all evening. Chris had gone to bed last night completely dreading today, but it had turned out so much better all thanks to you.
“Thank you so much, you’ve made this the best birthday ever” Chris smiled as soon as you stepped inside the cinema away from the crowds.
“Anything for my space ranger” you smile hand cupping his beard cheek, thumb cascaded through the grey patches you loved so much.
“Fahk I love you” Chris grins, his Bostonian accent slipping out as he leant down to kiss you deeply.
Needless to say as soon as the premier was over and the credits rolled, Chris led you back to the hotel to have his wicked way with you. If anything he was proud of the restraint he showed not to jump you in the car ride back.

Talk Garden#2!! 〜I Forgot to Mention Next Month's Talk Topic〜
Today, the second episode of my podcast "Wakana's Talk Garden" has been uploaded to the fan club site!! I was very happy to read through all of your submissions 😭✹Thank you very much!! The first big talk theme for the episode was ``Autumn'', I was delighted to find out that so many people associated autumn with a greater appetite, seems like everyone is full of energy and in good health! 😂 This time the episode was a little longer than last time. Please take your time listening to itâ˜șI will be sending a little something to the four people whose messages were picked to be read out. Please be patient a little while longer😉💕
On a side note...I forgot to mention the next talk topic during the recording! ! 😂😂So I'm going to talk about it here! ! 😂😂November is the time for the Shichi-Go-San festival so the next topic will be "Shichi-Go-San Anecdotes"! You can share your own memories of the day or a funny story from your family, anything is fine!(^o^) Personally, all I remember is eating not only my own but also all of my brother's chitose candy because I loved it so much! I'm looking forward to hearing your stories â™Ș\\Ù©( 'ω' )و //â™Ș
By the way, I got a lot of requests to talk about my recording of "Mononoke Hime" but to be honest, I wasn't able to talk about it at all *laughs* The only thing I talked about were my high school friends😂 I'll be sure to share more about the recording on my blog!  The next episode of "Wakana's Talk Garden" will be uploaded on November 10th â™Ș
Lastly, here is a photo of my rice cooker which I've been using for about 20 years now. It's the one I mention in the latest episode 🍚 What do you think of it? It's pretty normal I guess? Maybe you can't really tell how old it actually is 😂 It's small but I like it because it doesn't take up too much space! It's cute because it is so tiny and round♡ No matter which setting I use, I think it always takes more than an hour and a half to cook my rice😅 I only eat brown rice so maybe that's why 🙄 Most of the time, I cook my rice in a pot but you need to watch over it at all times so the rice doesn't burn. I think a rice cooker is much more convenient.
Well, I hope you enjoy the episode~☆( *'▜’*)/

So, why do you (and any commenters) dislike Kaia? I’ll go first! 😂
I’m in the industry and not only is she maybe the worst actress I’ve seen in a long time (let alone in high profile shows and movies-yikes!) but I honestly don’t think she’s even a good model. She has model good looks- like no matter how much she bugs me I’m not going to be a hater and act like she isn’t beautiful bc she truly is. Occasionally she has some interesting photographs but this new set for Marc Jacob’s Daisy is absolute amateur hour! (Google them if you don’t know bc I don’t know how to send them in anons- she’s in a sparkly black dress, looking happy/ derpy, and doing modeling 101 poses that basic girls who think they’re models do bc it’s cliche and not what actual seasoned working models do.) It’s so cringe and I’m honestly embarrassed for her. I’ve seen her do better, but half the time the poses are “meh” and/or the eyes are totally dead. Her walk is chaotic but many ppl disagree with me there. But like, she’s the worst nepo baby in my mind bc she truly lacks talent, a personality, and an IT factor.
I don’t know her personally and sometimes she seems nice enough, but there’s a coldness to her and she feels kind of try hard (trying to be older than she is, acting like she has lived this life where she’s learned lessons but never actually gets vulnerable and shares things worth sharing, and tries to be intellectual with soft reads when it’s like
girl just go to college?). She’s just
 off. Maybe at 30 she’ll be cool (I really try not to hate or root against but again, she bugs me, but I’m trying to use my words versus being emotional) but she’s beyond hard to take seriously at this moment. And I’m sorry but hers and Austin’s body language is weird AF. Her fans are so young so they don’t see any of what I’m ( or what you) talk about.
Anyway, I’m just a frustrated girlie in the industry who can’t get arrested and am fine with nepo babies if they’re talented but Kaia truly isn’t. I don’t think she’d have a career if she couldn’t afford a good publicist so it feels like double cheating to win the race (opportunities plus PR). Then I looked into her more and again, something is just
OFF.
But when and why did you not care for her? I’m curious about how similar or not similar my experience was to other people. It feels like her PR is revving up and she keeps booking roles no matter how many people call Kaia Gerber’s acting “distractingly awful” so I want some solidarity lol. đŸ™đŸŒ When were you like, “oh hell no!” (Or anyone else brave enough to comment or reblog with an answer!) Thanks đŸ©·
Hi girlie! First off, your message was so good that not only do I agree with what you said but I also feel like i'd be repeating what you said if i were to go into it lol. So for the sake of not being a broken record, i appreciate you coming forward and i double down on what you said.
as for when i started noticing, she really flew under the radar for me for a little while. i became a fan back in July of last year after seeing the movie. and i didn't have a lot to think about the relationship with Austin at that time aside from shes way too young for him. I wasn't researching anything at that point and i was more concerned with learning about Austin, getting to know him and getting absorbed in that content. I think it was sometime around maybe early fall that controversies about the relationship were spreading online. most notably it was the talk of their massive cringe worthy age gap where they got together before she could legally drink AND she was cool with his ex Vanessa in the past, but also as more pap photos came out I just began to notice the obvious signs that Austin was not really "there" or present or happy to be alongside Kaia. so i researched and all of that. then around the filming of bikeriders i had solidified 100% my stance on it with the clear signs of there being rumors of a breakup and the strange PR bullshit surrounding this couple henceforth. and here i am now.
but that's kind of the short answer lol. i'm used to being used as a dartboard for these idiot shippers to throw darts at because im not afraid to be vocal. so i hope that those of us here that feel the same way can have a platform to speak up. because listen, kaia ain't it and that man looks chronically dead when seen with her. so those that don't agree with my (or our, since there are so many of us that think this way) opinion then they can stuff it.

I think it’s so funny when people take issue with the content that I share on my page, because they’re pretty much expressing their frustrations in a huge vacuum.
God forbid that you see a post where one of your celebrity crushes isn’t bearing a set of perfectly chiseled abs. Oh, the horror!!! It must be so hard for you😱. People really act like I’m out here fat-shaming these guys
 like that picture I posted of Shawn Mendes a few days ago, where his stomach is a little rounder than usual. I’ve gotten a handful of messages from these crazy tumblrs, with pages solely dedicated to Shawn
 like they’re truly obsessed with him
 acting like my post was some kind of attack on him😂. Y’all do know that people with abs don’t have insanely defined abdominal muscles all the time, right? Like, you have to relax your stomach at some point
 and, the stomach has a naturally rounded shape to it. Most of the time, when these guys’ abs do look super indented, it’s not even real😭. Welcome to 2023! We’ve had professional photoshop for years now
 and Shawn has been a victim of that for ages. I would’ve thought you guys could tell the difference between real and fake by now, this many years into his career
 but I guess I should’ve known better. Maybe he was a little bloated, just relaxed, or taking in a breath when someone took the photo of him
 but the happenings of that moment have nothing to do with me. The picture exists, IT’S REAL, I saw it, and I liked it
 so I shared it😂. Simple and plain. Not once did I call him fat, or say anything discouraging about his body. I did agree with the person that sent in the ask, and express my shared belief that he does look a bit thicker in the photo
 and I gave my two-cents on why I thought that was, but I never framed it in a negative way.
I think the real issue, especially for pages like those, is that you guys have this perfect image of him in your heads
 and that image is so far detached from reality that it’s scary. You see a candid photo of him and lose your minds, like I’m trying to make him look unattractive, when you’re the ones who associate NORMAL BODIES with being unattractive. That’s not a reflection of me, and you’re wasting your time projecting your own feelings onto me. Not that he has anything to do with Shawn, but I’ve seen so much love from fans of Harry Styles
 like, the hardcore ones. From my experience, they see his tummy as something of beauty
 and actually appreciate it whenever it doesn’t look “ideal.” Harry gets bloated, just like the rest of us
 he gains and loses weight, just like the rest of us
 and he doesn’t always have crazy muscle definition. Bodies change — even from minute to minute — and a great deal of his fans, like myself, seem to understand that. Like I said, he has nothing to do with Shawn, and he’s far from my only example
 but there’s such a stark contrast in the ways that I’ve been addressed in conversations that I’ve had about the two.
I really don’t have to explain myself to you any further, but if you READ anything on my page, you’d know that trying to twist my intentions/reasons for sharing the content that I choose to share, just to sound as though you’re morally superior, is a waste of time and energy. There are plenty of pages out there that are actually being negative, and attacking people for their appearances
 and my page IS NOT one of them. If you’re going to be a loudmouth, or be a performative activist behind a screen, go do it someplace where it actually matters.

My poor rotten brain is now picturing Alpha Faust and his two psychotic omegas ( because of course it is, the rot is more like mold at this point 😂 ). He confessed to them out of a mix of stress and wanting them to know so they can know what he’s capable of. And not only to they not care, they want to commit another crime to celebrate it.
Ok! Dude! I’m so glad I’m not the only one that interpreted that as kissey faces. And Euro totally was jealous Varg was fucking other people.
I would happily read this paper. I would print this paper out and frame it. 🐈‍⬛
Lmao! He's fully prepared for them to freak or be scared of him or something, but they decide to reward him with a little church burning instead.
(To expand on this idea, I also like the idea of Faust getting hyped about his murder, so he goes to brag to his other omega and Occultus is NOT impressed. He tells Occultus like it's the best thing in the world, because Euro and Varg made him feel like it was, and Occultus is just??? you killed somebody???")
And yes, I interpreted it as kissing. I don't know how else to interpret it haha
(also why were both murders in the movie so...Weirdly sexual?? Idk if it's just me, but chin-grabbing to make someone look at you is such an intimate thing to me)
My shortened analysis of why Ann-Marit is a queer metaphor can basically be broken down into two sections. One about Pelle, one about Varg.
First of all. Her appearance. She was a fabricated character, she wasn't meant to be a specific person, so they could've made her look like anything. Yet, they made her look very visually similar to Pelle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't think this is ever more obvious than it is in the scene where she's cutting Euro's hair and he's having flashbacks of Pelle. They're even dressed similarly to each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also want to point out that this scene parallels the one where Pelle is putting on Euro's corpse paint for him. Even down to him telling Euro, "don't smile, it'll ruin it" and she tells Euro to "stop moving" while she's trying to cut his hair.
The photos Ann-Marit takes of Euro are also very specific. They weren't just any photos that the filmmakers could've made her take. It was specifically this one
Tumblr media
And I hear you saying, "Oh but Calypso, why does this matter?"
Well, it matters because it's referencing this picture of Euroynmous
Tumblr media
A picture that Varg took. Which is interesting enough on its own, but this is also the one of two times we see Euronymous and Ann-Marit in a sexual setting in the movie. The only other time being when Varg is also there and he's the one that actually causes the situation to be sexual.
Also as a sidenote, we don't really see him pursuing Ann-Marit in the beginning of the movie. They talk for a bit at the party, but he walks away from her pretty quickly. In fact, the only time we see him really "pursuing" her or acting interested is when she's taking pictures of Varg and he gets jealous.

Photo dump and update from the last week. Leavenworth last Wednesday was fun! The concert we were going to attend got cancelled and we ended up leaving before it got dark and the lights really popped, but we all had a good time anyway. Thursday was Rory’s work’s Christmas dinner and after that he surprised me with a hotel stay! Friday was a low key day at home and we made a bunch of fudge. Saturday we had a couple different friends over and worked on a puzzle. The kids all helped for a bit before they lost interest and us adults ended up finishing it. Christmas Eve was busy. We had church that morning and then I ran out to my BIL and SIL’s place to drop off a gift for the family gift exchange that we do with them every year. Got home in time to grab the kids and head back to church for choir practice in preparation for the candlelight service. The service went well. The tech had some issues with the music but it got sorted out. We came home and while Ror was finishing dinner prep his youngest brother and his wife stopped by to drop off a gift for the exchange and my sibling and their wife came over to join us for dinner! For dinner Ror made prime rib. I didn’t get any before pics but I did snag an after picture lol. After dinner the kids opened their gifts from the aunties and then we watched my all time absolute favorite Christmas movie; It’s a Wonderful Life. Since we started the movie late the kids got to stay up late and then after they were in bed Ror and I got the presents set out under the tree and stockings taken care of. My oldest Jennifer does a scavenger hunt for us to find our presents from her so in order to give her time to hide all the clues she’s the only one allowed out of her room before 8:30am. It’s so nice knowing we won’t be up at a stupid early hour. We did the scavenger hunt, the kids opened their stockings, and then everyone opened their gifts. After presents I gathered everyone for our annual family picture in our matching jammies and then we spent the rest of the morning dancing along to just dance videos. It’s ridiculous how good my big girls are at that! I’ve never done it before but lots of laughs were had and that’s all that matters to me. Late morning we had a zoom call with Rory’s side of the family and we did our gift exchange. Sometime after lunch we played Fluxx with the kids. I bought the Jumanji version and the Marvel one is on its way. The kids enjoyed it and Nikki won. I got Nikki some heartless hair curlers in her stocking and the results are THE CUTEST!!! I didn’t think Nikki could get any cuter and I was wrong! Anyway, Tuesday I had my weekly coffee date with Lori and gym date with Ror. Jennifer and her boyfriend went to the fabric store and bought some material to make blankets and while they waited for the fabric to be washed and dried they used my old dance lesson videos and spent a couple hours swing dancing. They’re so stinking cute together it’s ridiculous. While they were dancing I finally got around to cutting out my rainbow window cling and getting the designs put up! The monstera leaves took forever to cut out but they’re my favorite and I’m glad it’s finally done. Today I had a breakfast date with my SIL and then met up with Ror at the gym for a workout. We worked shoulders and now it’s a challenge lifting my arms 😂. It’s been a lovely busy week. This next week won’t be _as_ busy but it will be busy. I’ve got Nikki’s 15th birthday this Friday and then our 17th annual NYE LOTR marathon. đŸ„łđŸ„ł it’s one of my favorite days of the year!

It’s time for CPN. đŸŽŸïž
first, thank you to xiao laoshi for making this thursday extra special with his exposed knees and fabulous hair. and well, that face. he can do no wrong. next day is btf premiere and wyb is expected to attend BIFF ( red carpet starts at 5:30 ) so we will most likely have another meltdown.
Tumblr media
continue reading for more clownery âŹ‡ïžâŹ‡ïžâŹ‡ïž
Well let’s start with what we do best, over analyzing the photos they share and the numbers as well. XZS posted GG’s Gucci set and the most obvious observation is that he uploaded 18 ( yi bo ) photos with the 2nd and 8th ( love bo ) colored as red. you know, ZZ’s favorite and the color associated with love. no big deal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can say it’s for aesthetic reasons cause 2 and 8 in red will look good in the 9 grid, but there’s one more thing with the 8th photo. 8 = bo. It’s a split photo, on the left is a photo of a place. and yes they did that before in the Milan sets but those are a couple. I’m so proud of myself for noticing that this is the same place that makes an appearance in Hidden Blade. Which also takes place in Shanghai.
Tumblr media
it is a landmark, yes. but he is not promoting the city of shanghai đŸ€Šâ€â™€ïž. He is there for Gucci. why can’t he add a photo of the venue itself? interpret this however you want but it’s something that personally made me go 👀. a scene from HB + red + the number 8. i cannot not clown over it. 😂
Also the last photo shared from both studio photosets are of their backs. It’s the 18th ( yi bo ) for ZZ, so is he copying someone? Lol. We know that “yibo’s back photos” are popular among fans so i’m wondering if ZZ is bias towards it too.
Now for ZZ’s weibo post:
What we noticed is a photo, that looks like water and fire. Which reminds us of their NYE stage themes in 2019. The blue eyes reminds us of a photoshoot Yibo did and the colors. doesn’t really matter if they mean what we think it does — the point is, this fandom have so many symbolism/association over the years and it shows up over and over.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My favorite would have to be XZ reminding us all that he is a Libra. Yes we know. and well GUCCI + Libra design also has some CPN history ( hint : weibo night 2020 ) 😌
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over at Yibo-Official’s side, they probably noticed how loud they are with the ♄. yesterday, so they were more lowkey today. Their douyin post was shared 20:33 ( love zhan zhan ). I admit i was kinda bummed out that WYB had to leave early for Beijing. He wouldn’t go there if he had no participation in BIFF program. Because his usual MO for events is arrive the same day and then leave as soon as his part is over. So I think this “one day” is for him to prepare for whatever it is he will do for BIFF. I could be wrong. I just want them in the same city. đŸ„șđŸ„ș
Tumblr media
Lastly, Happy 5 year anniversary to the BJYX Supertopic! I have so many good memories of that space and it’s only right that it gets to be celebrated. It’s nice that it falls on BTF release so people can get together and the eve of it is GG’s gucci event so it’s all positive vibes ✚⭐

things i loved abt this version of the musical:
♡ plankton had black nail polish and i’d never felt so validated. i draw him with black nail polish all the time, no matter which production it is, so to see someone actually Doing That? gosh, it made me so so so happy
♡ he also wore black lipstick and lime green eyeshadow. absolutely killing it
♡ spongebob had red accents on his shirt, suspenders, and pants. even a little red pocket on his shirt! and he had big round glasses. cute as hell. i think i’m going to add red accents on my version of spongebob, too!
♡ instead of swiveling out on a Chum Bucket chair during the opening number, plankton was swinging from a ladder hanging from the ceiling. that was his Thing he would do, he would always be climbing the ladder and hanging from it while singing. 
♡ this portrayal of plankton was terrifying. he’d widen his eye and bare his teeth. he stood straight and tall, but not really like he was looming (like nick’s), and not big and loud like he wanted to be seen (like wes’). he was just There. he was There and he was watching the town and planning their demise and he spoke almost robotically for the first half of his introduction in Bikini Bottom Day. he’d flex his fingers and tilt his head and give a very unsettling grin during some lines. i loved it.
♡ Karen was actually the one making all the sound effects! I didn’t expect a low budget playhouse to bother with using the sound effects, but the girl who played Karen absolutely knocked it out of the park with her keyboard. she had her face projected on a TV screen that Plankton would talk to. and kiss.
♡ at one point he leaned in to caress Karen (the scene after Hero is My Middle Name) and she stopped him and said “oh, wait, you got something in your-” and he stops and says “in my teeth? what is it - oh, it’s probably kale. yeah, it’s kale. new year, new me! trying new things, Karen! what’s happening - oh, the set is changing already? okay let’s GO KAREN”
♡ he proceeded to, instead of walk off the stage like a normal person, literally do the worm. flop like a fish, if you will. karen just stared at him and said “yeah. the magic is definitely gone”
♡ the actor playing Patrick had the most beautiful voice?? my gosh?? this dude should be on broadway. this dude should have his own album. his vibrato was insane. when he sang I Guess I Miss You i got a little misty-eyed because he put so much feeling into it and i was just so overwhelmed to be there at all :’)
♡ plankton only held a little plush of himself during When the Going Gets Tough. after his dance number he threw the plushie off the stage and said (to the town) “you’re all idiots, just use your imagination”
♡ when he did his dance number he said in the middle of it “this choreography isn’t easy, people, appreciate what my evil genius giant brain is DOING for YOU”
♡ during the Big Guy scene plankton actually moaned “faster, faster” and it ummm definitely rekindled some feelings...
♡ patchy pointed at me pre-show and said “ye be wearin’ a spongebob shirt?! ye can’t be a bigger spongebob fan than me, I’m his number one fan!” i said “no, no, i’m the musical’s number one fan” and he said “hmm... we’d have a lot to talk about, wouldn’t we”
♡ plankton liking my art was pretty cool too!!!
♡ intermission you were allowed to take pics w/ the cast if you donated to the theater. i didn’t want to be in the pic so i just took a photo of them, and instead of saying “cheese” like everyone else, patrick said “ice creeeeam!!” and plankton shouted “WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!” and sandy muttered “yall can’t be normal during any of these shows” 😂😂
♡ then i told plankton i liked his nails and he said he liked my pin (it was cartoon!plankton). i held it up for him to see and said “it’s you!” and he kneeled down on the stage and leaned forward to see better and said “oh, someone has good taste.” he turned to the others and said “unlike the rest of you!” then squidward said “you don’t have MY FACE on a pin?!” and i said “i do! but it’s at home!” and he raised his hand and said “no, no, it’s too late, i can’t talk to you” sldfkjsdf
anyway this was one of the greatest experiences Ever. being such a small little college playhouse meant the audience was small too, and there was so, so much interaction w/ the cast, before and after the show, and especially during intermission. it was the most fun i’ve had in a while and something i definitely needed ;u;

Albums I Loved in 2023
May: High Flyin' (2023)
I remember seeing this photo a long time ago: Neil Young playing in front of an amp labeled with a big sticker that read "DUCKS RULE." I thought it was some joke at the time, but I looked into it and learned about them, and it added to the great mercurial mystery that Neil was becoming. After a year of being a fan, I conceded I still had so much to learn about him. So, along with thousands of others, I waited to have a chance to hear anything more than a snippet of the mythic Ducks. There wasn't much circulating: their seven-week tenure in the 1977 Santa Cruz bar scene fizzled out as quickly as it started.
Tumblr media
But oh
how blessed we were to get High Flyin': a triple disc bootleg that puts you right there in the middle of the action. In ways, it was everything I expected and in others, everything I didn't expect: country harmonies, folk melodies, loving odes to cars and sea shanties set to rock’n’roll. The ridiculously fun surf rock instrumental “Hey Now” (clearly a Neil Young brainchild) is equally entertaining and adorable. More than anything, it's a good time and good music. There’s no better indication of everyone enjoying themselves than the audience quacking sometimes in lieu of applause (and the band occasionally returning the gesture).
Tumblr media
It should surprise no one that I'm coming at this from my usual angle: yes, there are other musicians in this group, and they’re very good (Jeff Blackburn, Johnny Craviotto, and Bob Mosley), but I'm really not here for them, no matter how much they're featured. I was so excited for this release that I placed myself into the detailed fantasy where I could be a witness to their performance, even knowing Neil had more of a backseat role, and loving his versatility to be able to slot into secondary instead of taking the spotlight. But his presence is palpable anyway, the tone of his guitar a deliciously continuous flow through the right side channel (his driving direction perhaps clearest on the slick, heavy “Windward Passage”). Another fan described The Ducks as what Buffalo Springfield would sound like as a 70's bar band, and their rendition of "Mr. Soul" (possibly my favorite ever now!!!) supports that. But they do so much more. They sound like summer. They feel like a welcome sign of parting clouds.
youtube
Neil, as usual, brings a rough edge that makes the music feel complete in a way that I’ve come to expect. The same way that, when I was a child, I needed to have the color green in any landscape (or anything really) to be satisfied. It wasn’t a want, or a preference, but a need. One that, in the situation at hand, goes beyond a musical expectation. I recognize that this is likely not a permanent state of being, because nothing ever is. But I have kindled the lights of love, appreciation, and gratitude for Neil for nearly three years now, and this record adds weight to the ever-growing list of reasons why those flames still burn hot. I feel immensely grateful to have insight into this dimension of his artistry and continue to understand him as someone that can be a team player as well as a leader. The inspiration extends beyond technical to a personal realm I’ve never felt with any artist before, and sometimes I forget how truly special that is. It’s good to have reminders like this. Leave it to me to spin this Ducks album reaction into yet another declaration of my love for Neil 😂 but I hear the crowds on this bootleg that light up as soon as he sings
and I know I’m not the only one.

This is slightly more than 500 words but there was an Attempt;
Before she can say anything, though, he's already walking over, setting his stuff down lightly on the counter. Then, he reaches for a pocket—she thinks it's a pocket, anyway; his hand moves too quick to see exactly where—before producing a pristine, ice-blue, very new iPhone.
She is, suddenly, stupidly conscious of her ancient little dinged-up Moto. She definitely doesn't scoot it away behind the register, wtf. If Little Mx. Hipster-Possibly-Kidnapper has something to say about it, he can say it to her face.
But after just a few seconds rifling around in his messages—he only turns the phone around to her.
Most of the screen is taken up by a photo. A selfie, showing a tall punk-type boy—oh, definitely cute—standing behind a girl, teeny-tiny, who's gleefully taking the picture in front of what looks like a bathroom mirror. These two are definitely festival crowd; she knows the rennfaire type, she is the rennfaire type, she's pretty sure she's seen that exact green hair/deer makeup/fairycore combo in Phoenix last year. She realizes, with a pang: oh, no, these kids actually look kind of cool.
There's a message attached. The guy wants her to read it, evidently, scrolling down for her after letting the photo sink in. It immediately makes her feel roughly eight thousand years old; it's spelled so haphazardly, chock full of dumb fancy alternate characters that aren't even ~aesthetique.~ She half has to sound it out to make any sense of it.
There, your proof. Nari Ćżays to tell you Ćżhe's a Legende at babysittinge, actually, & also to Ćżtop worryinge; because we are fine, thou greate nuiĆżance (her wordes, not myne).
She ƿends also this meƿsage, that I'm pretty sure can't be put in letters, but whiche after manye obƿcenities (also hers, honeƿt) ƿeems to ƿound roughly like—
The messages continue on for some time like this—mildly irritated, definitely written by a teenager (seriously, who spells that badly on purpose?), way too personal for her to want to keep reading. But she has to admit: they don't seem entirely antagonistic.
Something still nags at her. Wanting first to protect the girl, and her weirdly familiar-looking kid chaperone. But...
Jasmine thinks back, suddenly, to when she was eighteen. To when she'd made it all the way to Bakersfield, sniffling and red-eyed and panicked but still, somehow, scraping together the bus fare, foolish gay heart stuck like a fishbone in her throat. Her mom had kept texting all through the night, no matter how hard Jasmine had ignored her, terrified at the imagined contents of all those unread messages.
She remembers, too, when her mom finally caught up to her. How good it had felt, when she'd finally let herself crumple into those strong brown arms.
Oh, she thinks. Oh, God dammit.
She takes a deep breath. "Alright," she huffs. More to herself than to him. "I—okay. Alright. Whatever. Say I believe you." She tries to make her voice stern, as if her decision hasn't already been made. "What makes you think they passed this way?"
(On an unrelated note: it is so nice to have text formatting options in asks now!)
ikr!! what a time to be alive 😂 and ooo, what a juicy snippet to start us off. and from a fic i never expected to become so fond of!
the entire premise of a sip from the devil's cup is "how can i make the stupidest concept imaginable (dread ancient ice jerkass unconsciously grooving to britney spears in a 7-eleven) actually kind of tender," so it gave me quite a lot of room to play with character and detail (two of my favorite things). the first of these, at least to me, is why does skrael have an iphone? well: the easy answer is that he can't get annoying texts from douxie without one, and my priorities are impeccable. 😂
the slightly more complicated answer is: phones are a really powerful signifier. of course he has an iphone, because he's not paying for it and these are the species of device most loudly touted as The Best. of course he has a blue one, because it's got to Match. (would bellroc have a red one? ah...) once he's had it for more than a few months, you bet your ass he's going to have a perfectly normal number of phone charms. he keeps it in hammerspace because that's where he keeps all of the little things he needs to hand, or at least all the things that don't fit on the little chatelaine i imagine him with; he's trying to pretend to be a normie in this obviously human store, but not, like, very hard, so even though the magic isn't ostentatious he definitely still uses just straight-up magic to bring it out. jasmine can't quite see it clearly for what it is because she doesn't quite realize, yet, that such magic exists, let alone right under her nose. ╼ (. ❛ ᮗ ❛.) ╭
a lot of the fun i had writing jasmine, tbh, comes from being on the cusp of—but not yet slipping over into—that realization. it's very close to the fun i have writing barbara, tbh. she's—i actually had a lot of trouble trying to hold myself back from inventing jasmine's backstory, as you can see from the bit about her being a gay teen runaway! this aspect of her in particular resonates very strongly i think with some advice you gave me once about foils and complements. but again, also: so, so much of what i love about characters like this is looking at how reasonable, average people react to
decidedly un-average circumstances! even before jasmine catches True Sight in the mirror, she can tell something is up. but even if the guy is weird
she can tell, too, he's trying not to cause too much trouble. and then the incomprehensible ancient divine/monster meets the everyman modern mundane/human in the middle and alchemy happens.

or something like that, anyway. 😂 there's also a lot to be said about humanizing the divine/monster in this—of course jasmine feels how he misses nari, how soft he is about bellroc, all of that after he unequivocally burnt down the apple store, god—but also about making the mundane exceptional? jasmine knows she's taking a risk by helping this stranger. she works among The Public, in a very specific field! but at the same time, she remembers what it was to have run from her own family. while she knows it's not the same for everyone who does so—i think i did a decent job showing her hesitation, here—she chooses to believe the best of this very strange and frankly offputting person she's never met before. one of my absolute favorite brands.
(there's probably a whole separate commentary track for whatever's happening with douxie and nari here, but unless someone's curious, i'll just say: i had a TOTALLY NORMAL amount of fun figuring out where all those long esses should go. 😏)

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to - Chris Evans x Reader
A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SOON TO BE SEXIEST SILVER FOX IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!! I hope Chris has a fabulous time in London for his birthday, and we brits are very proud to host him on this very special day đŸ„°
Summary: Chris had loved every moment of the Lightyear press tour right up until today
Word Count: 1.4k
Warnings: Angst! Fluff! Allusion to Smut! Language!
Tumblr media
Chris normally hated having a big fuss made over his birthday. He didn’t need a big party or lots of presents. He just enjoyed spending some time with his family, drinking a couple beers and relaxing. Something he’d done on Saturday in his LA home.
But waking up completely alone in a London hotel, with not even dodger around still felt pretty crappy.
He knew it was going to be this way, and he knew it couldn’t be helped. But he still wished the London premier of Lightyear hadn’t fallen on his birthday. A day that if he was back in Boston it wouldn’t matter if his family was busy, and his niece and nephews were at school, because he’d still see everyone in the evening.
What he hated the most though was that you weren’t here, and he only had himself to blame. He was the one who convinced you it was fine, that it didn’t bother him. You had a big meeting with a client today and it would look bad if you moved it for him. So he told you to stay at home and smash your meeting and he’d see you on FaceTime later.
God why was he such a selfless meatball
Reaching over to the bedside table he grabbed his phone. He saw a few text messages from his UK based friends. So far nothing from his family or you but it was 3am back in Boston and midnight in LA so he couldn’t really blame them.
A pang of homesickness hit him as he thought about you, knowing you’d be curled up fast asleep in bed, arm probably outstretched to his side of the bed. So he pulled up the text chain with his manager and asked her to sort the earliest flight back, he didn’t care if he had to fly coach, he just wanted to be back with you.
With a long sigh Chris pushed himself up from bed and started to get ready for a day of press junkets. When he got out of the shower, walking back into his room he saw his phone light up. Grabbing it hoping it was his manager confirming the flights but to his delight it was you.
Y/N: Happy birthday sweetheart, I know you’re probably busy already but have a great day and I’ll talk to you later xxx
Chris: Thank you sweetheart, can’t wait to talk to you later, now get some sleep I know its late in LA and you need to smash that meeting xxx
Y/N: don’t worry I have my stand in snuggle buddy xxx
Chris smiled as you attached a photo of you curled up in bed with Dodger fast asleep lying next to you.
Chris: glad to see it, and only slightly jealous 😂 good luck with your meeting and I’ll talk to you later xxx
Chris continued to get ready for the day, putting on the outfit his stylist had set aside for the press junkets. Letting out another long sigh Chris mentally prepared himself for the day. He’d been enjoying doing press for Lightyear, the LA premier was the first premier he’s actually enjoyed being at in years. He felt like a kid going to the cinema for the first time. But today he was back to dreading it, wishing he was doing something else instead.
The day went by painfully slowly, alternating between zoom interview and in person ones. Every person he met was lovely, wishing him a happy birthday, but he just didn’t want to be there. It didn’t help that the ended up running behind too.
By the time Chris was making his way back to the hotel room he was exhausted. All he wanted was to collapse in bed and call you, talk to you until he fell asleep but he couldn’t. He had to start getting ready for the premier, his call with you still hours away.
He was so tired that when he opened the door to his room, the fact that the lights were on didn’t alarm him. He just didn’t even notice, letting out a long sigh as he dropped the key and his phone down on the small table by the door.
“I was beginning to worry you weren’t coming” he then heard making him jump.
He looked up eyes widening is disbelief as he saw you sat on his bed smirking over at him. He blinked a couple of time taking a few hesitant steps forward trying to work out if this was really happening or if this was jet lag catching up with him.
You smiles at him warmly standing up from the bed and closing the gap. Chris remained completely still as you rested your hands on his chest smiling up at him.
“Yes I’m really here and no this isn’t jet lag” you tell him with a gentle shake of the head “Happy Birthday sweetheart” you smiled cupping his cheek and gently kissing him.
It wasn’t until he felt your lips on his that he actually believed you were here. Snapping back to reality he instantly responded, fingers running through your hair as he cupped the back of your head. His other hand gripping your hips possessively closing any remaining distance between you.
Chris wasn’t expecting to see you like this until tomorrow at the earliest. He’d thought about your reunion all day, what he’d do when he saw you again, to the point he was struggling to hold himself back as he deepened the kiss. Feeling you hum in content as he grabbed your ass.
“As much as I love where this is going” you pant, your voice barely above a whisper as Chris attacked your neck “the team are literally just outside and I don’t think they’ll appreciate us being late to the premier” you finally get out.

Relaxing in bed, Dodger curled up beside you, you smiled when you heard the sound of Chris FaceTime’ing you. As soon as the call connected you were greeted with his warm but tired smile.
“Hey sweetheart how are you?” You smiled.
“Tired, jet lag is a bitch but I’m happy to see you” he smiles, stifling a yawn.
“Are you having fun though?” You ask him.
“Yeah lots, I’m doing interviews with Ana still and you know she’s fun, and you know it’s a movie I do want to promote, it could be worse, could be stuck with people I don’t like, promoting a movie that I didn’t enjoy making,” Chris says shrugging his shoulders before smiling gently “that being said I would rather be at home with you”
You smiled back at him “me too, that hotel bed does look comfy though”
“Oh it is” Chris chuckles wiggling himself back into the plush pillows “it was an outrage that I only got a few hours sleep last night”
“What time did you have to get up this morning?” You ask him.
“At like 4:30 am so we could pre-record the radio interview, I’m pretty sure I nearly fell asleep at least twice,” Chris says making you laugh.
“And all the questions are nice? Nothing coming back to bite you in the ass?” You ask trying not to smirk since you already knew the answer.
Chris groaned dropping his head back against his pillow “You know exactly what’s biting me in the ass right now” he groans.
“I think it's sweet that so many people are invested in your happiness,” you tell him.
He lets out a long sigh finally looking back at you “yeah I guess, I just didn’t expect it to blow up like it did” Chris shrugs “like we get so many boring questions and this question was a good one so I wanted to give them a good answer in the hopes that it would spur on more good questions” he sighs
“I get it, like training a puppy, you reward good behaviour,” you say nodding your head.
“Exactly! Except it backfired and now it’s the only thing I get asked about” Chris groans “and it wasn’t even an honest answer! Like I wanted to say how I was laser focused on building something with you but we’re not public yet and it was the next best thing to say and urgh! Just wish I kept my mouth shut”
You give him a sympathetic smile, which makes the worry lines on his face disappear “you can say I told you so now” he sighed.
You gasp laughing “I wasn’t going to!” You exclaim.
“Yes you were,” Chris says pointing at you “that night when I told you about it you said and I quote ‘aren’t you worried that it could blow up?’ And I said nah it probably won’t but it did so you were right”
“Doesn’t mean I wanted to be right” you point out.
“I guess so” Chris sighs his shoulders slumping slightly.
“It isn’t stressing you out, is it? Because if you’re worried about it bothering me it really doesn’t” you tell him.
He gives you a small lopsided smile “no not really, hopefully after the radio interview people will move on it's just frustrating that’s all” he says shaking his head gently.
“I know, but look just focus on the positives: the press tour is nearly done and you had a great time with Ana, and the internet is even more in love with you,” you tell him gently.
A lopsided grin grew on his face “you forgot one thing, I’m nearly back home to you” he smiles.

Okay Gramps - Chris Evans x Reader
Summary: Chris isn’t happy his iPhone 6s finally died
Word count: 663
Warnings: Fluff! Implied Age Gap! Pregnancy! Teasing!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
You and Chris didn’t often fight and if you did it was generally over something minor, like leaving the toilet seat up, or not putting clothes in the hamper.
However the most reoccurring argument was over his phone that was so old that it functioned more as a metal brick than an actual phone. You had begged him for years to update it, saying it was not worth the nightly battle just to get it to charge, or the poor battery life.
However he just took it to the nearest Apple store to get it repaired. That process repeating until the Apple store refused to repair it because they didn’t have parts anymore because it was that old.
You were certain he’d spent more on getting it repaired than it would cost to just buy a new phone.
You finally won the battle though when you got pregnant and with your due date only getting closer you told him it was not safe for him to be unreachable because his phone’s charge wouldn’t last an hour. The last thing you wanted while going into labour was calling all his friends and family trying to track him down.
However he was probably the only person on earth that wasn’t excited to get a new phone.
“I don’t like the lack of buttons” he huffs as he looks at his new iPhone 13.
“It makes it sleeker and gives you a bigger screen” you point out.
“I guess but I don’t really like the face scan thing either, doesn’t seem safe” he mumbles as he goes through the setting up process.
You roll your eyes at him “they have privacy systems in place, and you were perfectly fine with them having your fingerprint” you point out nodding to his old phone.
“Yeah but what if hackers can access it, they have our faces on file, they could make fake identities” Chris argues shaking his head.
“Oh boy just you wait until you find out about driver’s licenses and all that” you say sarcastically, running your hand over your bump, feeling the baby kick your hand “see even the baby thinks you’re being ridiculous”
Chris rolls his eyes letting out a small huff of a laugh. But still lets out a long sigh as he frowns down at his new phone.
You reach out taking his hand in yours squeezing it reassuringly “look I know you hate tech and thinks its all over complicated nowadays, and i’ll be honest I agree with you to a certain extent” you tell him getting him to look over at you “but you’ll get used to the new phone just like you did with your old one all those centuries ago” you add with a smirk.
Chris finally lets out a good laugh at that, smiling over at you “yeah you’re right, and I have to remind myself its for this one here” he sighs reaching over to rest his large hand over your bump.
“Exactly and think of all the cute non grainy photos you’ll take” you smile watching at his smile grows wider.
“Yeah I can’t wait” he grins leaning over to kiss you.
Just like you said it didn’t take long for Chris to get used to his new phone, he was almost like an excited kid once he found out all the cool features. Often running over to you to show you the adorable photo he’d just taken of Dodger.
“Look how clear it is! You can see every detail! And his eyes!” Chris exclaims as he shows you the most recent photo he took of dodger.
“See tech isn’t so scary after-all” you smirk kissing him on the cheek.
“I never said I was scared of it” Chris huffs rolling his eyes at you.
“Okay gramps” you laugh.
Chris arches a brow at you shaking his head “you’re lucky I love you” he says as he kisses your cheek.
“I love you too” you laugh

Silver Fox - Chris Evans x Reader
Summary: Chris isn’t too happy that he’s getting older, good thing he has you around.
Word Count: 634
Warning: Age Gap (Reader is in their early 30s)! Bit of Angst! Insecurity! Fluff!
A/N: I wrote this on my phone almost immediately after waking up so it’s barely edited!
Tumblr media
You let out a long yawn as you walked out of the closet dressed in a pair of shorts and one of Chris’ old tops. You ran your hands down your face as you walked across the bedroom towards the bed that was calling for you.
As you went you passed by the bathroom where you spotted Chris stood in front of the mirror. You paused in your journey turning towards the bathroom, leaning against the doorframe as you admired him.
All he wore was some dark blue checkered pj bottoms, his bare chest on show giving you the best view of his numerous tattoos. As your eyes ran over his body, appreciating what was yours, your gaze finally settled on his face.
You watched as he tilted his head side to side, up and down, fingers running through his beard. The small frown on his face and long sigh telling you something wasn’t right.
“Hey” you say gently getting his attention.
He startles slightly, having not realised you had been watching him. His hands instantly fall from his face as he turns to face you, trying to lean casually against the counter.
“Hey?” He says with a slight questioning tone.
“What’s wrong?” You ask him gently.
He shakes his head slightly giving you a smile you could tell was forced “nothing’s wrong”
“Chris”
Chris lets out a long sigh knowing he wasn’t going to get out of this one, he glances back in the mirror the frown from before reappearing.
“I’m going grey” he sighs sadly.
You frown slightly, surprised and confused that that was the reason he was upset.
“I know it’s stupid and it’s a natural part of ageing but it just reminds me of how old I am and how much older I am then you and I worry that you won’t like it” he explains turning back to face the mirror, hands running over the small grey patches in his beard.
“You’re right it is stupid”
You close the distance between the two of you, your hand taking his getting him to face you. Chris watches your every move with wary eyes as your hands run up his arms, over his chest before moving up to cup his cheeks. Your thumbs gently running over his beard.
“Because I love your little grey patches, I think they’re so unbelievably sexy” you tell him gently, his eyes widening in surprise.
“You don’t mean that”
“I do, I love all of you, every single grey hair, and wrinkle” you say making his face scrunch up “because it means you’ve lived a life, and a pretty amazing one if I have to say”
A small smile plays at the corner of his lips but you could tell he was still unconvinced.
“All these wrinkles” you say, your thumb running over his smile lines “remind me of every time you’ve smiled and laughed, which I love because its the best sight in the world and makes my heart soar”
“And I love these little grey patches because I already know you are going to be the sexiest silver fox in the world” you smirk making Chris chuckle gently.
“But the thing I love most is that for every grey hair, or wrinkle or anything, there is a new part of you for me to love” you finish, the smile on Chris’ face back in full force showing off those smile lines you loved so much.
He cups your cheeks guiding your lips up to his, all the love and thanks he could give filtering through. As he pulls away he presses another kiss to your forehead muttering under his breath how much he loved you.
“I love you too sweetheart” you smile tilting your head back so you could capture his lips once more.

The Perfect Wingman - Chris Evans x Reader
Summary: After meeting the new vet, Dodger starts acting up
Word Count: 1.9k
Warnings: Fluff! Vet environment! Mention of Injections! Minor Injury to Pet! Uniform kink?
Dividers by @firefly-graphics
Tumblr media
Whenever Chris had to take Dodger to the vets he always made sure to go at awkward times that no one else went. The last thing he wanted was to be recognised, especially if Dodger was sick.
Today though it was just a general check-up and Dodger's annual jabs. The waiting room was quiet since it was now very late in the day. Dodger sat patiently waiting, his tail slowly wagging as Chris sat scrolling on his phone. Chris trying not to huff in annoyance as he still tried to get used to his new phone, wanting nothing more than to head home and get some rest after a tiring day of meetings.
“Dodger Evans?” A female voice called out.
Chris’ head snapped up since he was expecting his usual vet, one that was very much male. He blinked a couple of times as he came to his senses and stood up, wiping his hands on his jeans.
“Hi that’s me- I mean us- Dodger that’s Dodger,” Chris says stumbling over his words before pointing down at Dodger who was giving him a quizzical look.
You chuckle gently “well it’s lovely to meet you, I’m Dr Y/L/N, but please call me Y/N” you smile instantly putting Chris at ease, turning away to lead them to the examination room.
“Chris” he replied “I’m Chris” he clarified when you looked back at him slightly confused.
“Nice to meet you, now c’mon and let's get you checked out hey pal” you smile down to dodger before leading them into the examination room.
“Hey um I don’t mean to sound rude or anything but what happened to Dr Stevenson?” Chris asked as he shut the door behind him.
“He’s had to take some time off for a family emergency so I’ve taken over some of his clients, and since I’m new to the practice I’ve been given the graveyard shifts” you explain as you grab your stethoscope from the side.
“Ah nice, I mean not nice for you and for Dr Stevenson” Chris rambles scratching the back of his neck nervously.
You flashed him another smile that made him instantly relax and get more nervous at the same time. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been so flustered around someone, usually he was pretty good at this but you were so different.
He could tell you were tired like he was but you still had the brightest smile on your face. Despite wearing absolutely no makeup and your ponytail being a little messy you still looked absolutely stunning in your pale green scrubs, a fact Chris would have to re-evaluate later once he was alone. The thing that amazes him the most though was the warmth you gave off, it made him feel like he was being enveloped in the biggest hug ever even though you were standing on the opposite side of the room.
“Right then pal shall we make sure everything is looking good?” You smile bending down to be at eye level with Dodger.
Dodger instantly started wiggling, trying to lick your face which just made you laugh “oh yes thank you, oh yes you’re very kind, can you sit for me? Sit?” You tell him, Dodger obeying without Chris needing to do anything.
Dodger sat patiently, his tail wagging as you checked the condition of his teeth, gums, eyes and ears.
“You’re such a good boy aren’t you? Now stay nice and still for me” you smile grabbing the stethoscope from your neck and listening to his lungs and heart.
“Yes you’re such a good boy” you smile scratching Dodger behind the ears before standing back up “how is he with injections?” You ask looking over at Chris.
“Oh um yeah usually pretty good,” Chris says nodding his head.
“Okay cool, well just to be safe do you want to just sit in front of him and give him some fussing since I’m a stranger that’s about to stab him with a needle” you joke making Chris laugh.
“Yeah sure not a problem”  Chris smiles.
He crouches down in front of Dodger, stroking his head and reassuring him while you got the injections ready. Once you crouched down beside Chris, just out of Dodger’s eye-line, Chris’ heart skipped a beat when he realised how close you were to him. As you worked Chris watched you, noticing the small furrow of your brows as you concentrated and the light spattering of freckles across your cheeks and nose.
“You’re such a brave boy, well done!” You smile as you praise Dodger “I think you deserve a treat!” You add as you grab a chicken bite from the jar.
Dodger sits patiently as he waits for his treat, something that makes you laugh gently and Chris decides that your laugh was his favourite sound.
“So is everything all good?” Chris asks.
