Afterwards || MGK scenario

¬Colson meets a fan backstage. Pairing->f!reader x colson baker Word count-> 2.0k cw. fluff, some deep convo, fan service, mentions of suicide, swearing.

The noise was unreal. You still couldn't belive you finally made it to kells' concert. It had been an odissey to get enough money to afford the plane and concert tickets, at some points you even wondered if it was worth it. However being here made you have no doubt--It was absolutely worth it.

"Thank you beautiful people for coming today," he practically yelled into the mic, his bright pink hair dripping drops of sweat."I'm afraid this will be the last song of the night."

The crowd sobbed loudly, but the sad atmosphere was quickly replaced with the festival of cords that was the beginning of WWIII. To you it felt like Colson was flying around, his instense energy being contagious to every single fan that was singing along the extravagant lyrics. Everyone was jumping and laughing like one big, jolly being.

Eventually the song was over, and everyone was ready to go back home, but Kells was thinking otherwise.

"Before y'all go back home, the crew and I have one more thing." you looked around just to see excited faces."We've decided to gift a V.I.P meet n' greet behind the scenes to three random people;"

He stepped aside and signaled to the big screens around him, which started showing pink explosions and sparkling silver and black dashes. Then, a series of numbers started to appear—it was ticket numbers.

Your heart was pounding fast, and you could feel the adrenaline pouring through your entire self. You knew it was beyond highly unlikely your number would appear on that screen, yet you couldn’t help but hope…

The first couple of numbers had already been announced, meaning there was only one left. One opportunity to meet Colson left. You knew it wasn’t gonna be you, but even being aware of it didn’t prepare you for the disappointment of realizing the third and final ticket number belonged to the person right next to you. The screen showed the number 118, while your number was 117.

You scowled silently. What a drag. At least i got to enjoy myself for a few hours was all you could say to yourself to make you feel better. You looked to your right, expecting to see the lady excited out of her mind, but she looked quite neutral. Thinking it was odd, you continued gathering your stuff to go back home.

“Excuse me.” You felt a slight pat on your shoulder along with the sound of a voice getting lost in the background noise. You turned around. “I can’t really attend the backstage thingie, I promised the sitter I’d be back home early. Would you like to go instead?”

To say you couldn’t believe your ears would be an understatement. “Sorry?” You said in shock. The lady looking back at you seemed to be in her late 30s, short brown hair and kind eyes. She giggled.

“I realize it’s weird, but I really can’t stay any longer. If you can’t accept it there’s no problem, I’ll just ask someone else.”

But before she finished the sentence you interrupted with frantic nodding. “I’ll take it! It was just so unexpected! Are you really sure?”

“I’m really sure I can’t afford a different sitter right now,” she smiled honestly. “So yea.”

She offered you her ticket and you took it, hesitant. And there it was, the winning ticket—or one of them anyway—in your hands. You felt on top of the world.

“You have no idea how much this means to me, thank you so much.” You said while smiling as well, and she just brushed it off.

“Never meet your idols is something I’ve always firmly believed anyways. Have a good time!” After saying that she quickly left.

It took you a while to get it together. The whole situation felt crazy to say the least. You just knew your friends were gonna be so jealous (in a nice way) and eager to hear the whole thing. They simply were not gonna believe this!

You made your way to the backstage entrance, where a bodyguard and some other staff members were to make sure everything went smoothly. The other two people in front of you, who you assumed were the other winners, seemed to be really excited as well.

One of the staff members explained that each of us would have approximately ten minutes with Colson, in the order the winners were announced. They also gave you some merch, which you naturally loved. You immediately put on a little rubber band around your wrist that came in the carefully organized package.

After some time, it was finally your turn. You were so excited the waiting felt like a blink. The bodyguard walked you through a hallway with a bunch of doors on either side, until finally you reached one that had a piece of paper sticked to it. “MACHINE GUN KELLY”

Your heart immediately skipped a bit, you couldn’t believe you were actually going to meet MGK. Machine Gun Kelly. Colson Freaking Baker. You inhaled some air hoping it would calm you down—of course it didn’t—and the bodyguard opened the door.

There he was. A smoky blunt on one hand and his phone on the other. He wasn’t really sweaty anymore, and his hair was a mess yet his face looked so calm. His see-through shirt revealed his contoured torso full of tattoos. You knew he was tall but seeing him in person for the very first time... he seemed taller than anyone could ever be. Just the arch of his nose and piercing eyes made you feel like oxygen wasn’t so necessary anymore-

“You don’t have to stand all the way there,” his raspy voice took you out of the trance in a heartbeat, which made you a little shy due to your awkward demeanor. “C’mere”

Once again hesitantly you walked a little closer to him, who was no longer leaning against the wall nor unaware of your presence. Colson was standing up—god he got even taller-- and looking at you in a curious manner. “What’s your name?”

You whispered the answer, unable to look into his eyes for longer periods of time than twenty seconds each. He giggled, amused.

“You’re not very talkative, are you?” Now it was your turn to giggle. For some reason his unpreoccupied remark eased you into the moment. “Sorry,” you sighed “college didn’t teach me anything on how to talk to someone like you.”

He walked closer to you and sat in a nearby chair. “Woah, someone like me? And here I thought we're getting along.”

You laughed out loud again and he smiled in return and inhaled the blunt resting between his fingers. Now you were starting to feel actually comfortable.

“I didn’t mean it like that!” You hugged yourself while walking a little closer as well. “I meant someone so famous and admirable. We’re just very different.”

He appeared to think about it for a second and then signaled to a chair close to his with his almost fully smoked blunt, indicating you should sit down.

“I don’t think we’re that different, you and I.” He stated firmly, looking right into your eyes. You could feel your ears burning a bit, but naturally decided to just ignore it.

“We are very, very different…” you began right after you sat on the chair but stopped mid-sentence because you weren’t sure about how to adress him, which he somehow seemed to notice.

“Call me whatever, I literally don’t care.” Usually that sentence would’ve sounded harsh due to its very nature, but coming out of his mouth it didn’t make you feel any of those things. He meant it, he didn’t seem to mind at all.

“Is Colson alright?” He nodded while inhaling the last puff out of his blunt. "ye's fine."

You could feel once again the air filling up with awkwardness, but you weren't gonna let it. It's not every day you get to have a one-on-one conversation with THE Machine Gun Kelly.

"Tell me something about you."You spat before you could think twice about it. He frowned, unsure of what you meant."Tell me something you'd like me to know about you. Something I shouldn't know, or something you've never said to anyone. Tell me something about you." You stared right into his cerulean gaze."Anything."

He laughed outloud, strong peals of laughter filling the room. You wondered how come this was better than all the songs he performed at the concert--the sound of his laugh."What's so funny?"

"You were so shy like a second ago and now you're asking shit like that." He pointed, still slightly smiling. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I do." You quickly replied, simply. "It's not every day a girl gets to be face to face with the one and only MGK."

Colson's smile became a mere smirk. You could tell he was thinking what could he possibly tell you.

"I make music for myself" he spat suddenly ", not for the fans. For me. The fact that they---you like it is just a plus. It's what helps me sleep at nights."

When you asked him to give you something you certainly weren’t expecting something half as deep as that.

"I guess we never really think you celebrities have demons as bad as that... not for real, anyway. Thanks for sharing that with me, you obviously didn't have to."

"Well, there's not much of a point. Not like we'll be meeting again." As he said this, the realization came down to you. You were not meeting again. You felt your heart irrationally sink.

"Still I appreciate i-" his raspy voice interrupted you before she could finish the sentence.

"Your turn."

"Sorry?"

"Your turn. Tell me some spicy shit about you, something not many people know."

Your mind went blank. Something about you no one knows? You were a rather private person so there were a bunch of things people didn't know, but which to pick? He shared a deep one so it was only fair and right for you to do the same.

"I love when it rains at night." His square-ish smile welcomed the statement.

"Dude, how is that deep?" You breathed in as you took long blinking.

"I was going to kill myself. It was like midnight or something, I had the pills ready and I was lying on my bedroom floor. There's a big skylight on the ceiling, you know? I was about to take them when suddenly it started raining." He wasn't really smiling anymore."And that made me smile. I like night time, and I like it when it rains, so together it's like... I don't know. I love it. And I realized if i did it, i was not going to be able to see the nightsky while it's raining, hear the drops of rain against the buildings and the ground. Nor would I smile again.”

"Now that is deep." He walked towards a metalic table and poured two glasses of what seemed to be gin. He then walked toward you and offered you one."I guess we’re not so different after all… Cheers to that."

You took it while smiling, mumbling "cheers to that, indeed" as your glasses clinked.

"Why did you tell me that?" He asked after taking a few sips. You shrugged and took another sip, looking up into his blue irises and feeling yourself getting lost in them.

"You said so yourself, it's not like we'll ever meet again. Might as well do some trauma dumping." You both laughed at the joke---self-deprecating humor is something you could instantly say you had in common.

"I like you, y/n. We might actually have to meet again." Your heart skipped a bit as he said that. Had you heard right? You somehow managed to keep your cool.

"Why? You just said we were never meeting again." You sighed. "I hope it's not pitty because of what I just told you."

"It ain't. You just peaked my interest. No one'd managed to do that for a while." He stared right into your eyes as he said that. Made you shiver.

"So we meet and what?" You asked, your heart running inside your chest.

"And we have a drink, what the fuck else?"

"Isn't there some rule that forbids you from doing shit like that, anyway?"You asked, genuinely curious.

"Ain't rules meant to be broken?" He answered and smirked before walking to the table once again and refilling his glass. He looked at you and softly swung the bottle in your direction, silently offering, but you shook your nead no since you hadn't finished the previous serving. "So what do you say? Tomorrow midnight at your favorite club?"

Campus

( I FORGOT TO ANSWER THE OG ASK TO THIS MY BAD )

Anon asked...

" raine x gender neutral reader fluff? any scenario is fine "

On it!

( wdym this sounds like the lumity kiss scene?? 🤨🤨 ur crazy )

" in the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass. And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class. "

---

"Hey, Rainestorm, you with me?" Eda snapped her fingers in her friends face, making the witch jump.

"Eda! Be quiet!"

"Ohhhh, I get it. You're spying on Y/N again, aren't ya?"

The redhead grinned, putting her hands on her hips and swaying slightly, like she felt very accomplished for knowing that.

Raine was sitting underneath the old tree by the grudgby field, sneaking glances up at their partner as Y/N rest on the balcony of Principal Faust's office. Yeah, being his kid was not very fun. Raine sighed, wishing Y/N would be allowed to come down here to talk with them before school officially let out. Eda took one look at Raine's face and sighed.

"This is all very poetic and stuff, Romeo and Juliet- but I think it's time we played a little more into that fantasy side."

"You're about to get us in trouble, aren't you?"

"Yep! Hold your centaurs, Rainestorm, we're about to rescue your awesome partner!"

Y/N was very easily awoken by the whistle Eda gave, standing in suprise and rubbing their eyes sleepily. Y/N leaned over the balcony, eyebrows raised. Eda was holding up a paper with "DISTRACT FAUST" written across it in bold letters, and Y/N gave her a thumbs up before spinning on their heel and stepping into the office. Faust frowned deeper.

"Dad, two kids are fighting on the front lawn."

"Mm. We'll take care of it. Vice Principal?"

"Yes, Faust?"

"Watch over Y/N. I'll be right back."

He said it like a threat, but Y/N was immune to his cold nature by now. Bump swallowed thickly as the door shut. Y/N rolled thier eyes.

"Bump, you just.. stay in the office, 'kay?"

"I-I'll do what I like, Y/N."

"Okay."

Y/N said it with an almost questioning tone that got Bump nervous, and before he could question them Y/N had slipped back outside, grateful for the fact the windows had thick blinds over them. Y/N leaned over the balcony again, but stumbled back when Raine popped up in front of them, flustered.

"Eda! You did it too early!"

"My bad! Continue on!"

"Raine? What are you doing?"

Y/N grinned, watching the vines creep up over the edges of the stone balcony, pink flowers sprouting and casting their own scent through the air. Raine was standing on a large vine leaf, and they grinned as Y/N took their hands.

"Saying hi."

"You dork. I wish I could just come down there, instead of making you and Eda do.. this. Aren't you scared?"

"Peeing my pants right now. This leaf is NOT very stable. I think if you blew on me I'd completely fall over."

Y/N laughed and Raine grinned, proud of themself. Y/N leaned on the balcony, their faces inches apart. Raine scrunched their nose.

"UH, GUYS? THIS IS VERY CUTE TO WATCH AND ALL BUT PLANT MAGIC ISN'T MY SPECIALTY!"

"Oh! Okay, Eda!"

Y/N shouted, waving. They turned back to Raine, cupping their face quickly to press their lips to Raine's forehead for a quick kiss. Y/N laughed as Raine's glasses started fogging up. They pulled them off quickly, wiping at the glass and starting to ramble.

"T-These things are so annoying! I mean, I almost wish I was blind instead. No, wait, that's not nice. I-It's just bad because it's-"

"HURRY IT UP, RAINESTORM!"

"EDA!"

Raine shouted, shoving their glasses back on their face. The vines started shaking and Eda grunted from below. Raine inhaled sharply. Y/N smiled, drawing their own circle in the air, sneakily replacing Eda's magic with their own. The witch still on the ground flopped backwards into the grass, tired. Raine scrunched their nose again.

"Alright, better head down. Faust will be back soon."

"Oh, fine. Can you still come over tomorrow?"

"So far. I'll see you then, Raine."

Y/N started lowering the vine, but Raine quickly pressed a kiss to their cheek, making the witch falter, and, in succession, the vine. Y/N squeaked as Raine started falling, the vine retracting quickly and into the dirt. Eda reacted quickly, catching Raine bridal-style and making the both of them fall to the ground.

"Sorry!" Y/N called, wanting to laugh, but they'd wait until they made sure Eda and Raine were okay.

"It's okay! Eda broke my fall!"

"I think the ground broke a rib."

"Head to the healing Coven anyways, okay?" Y/N laughed, waving. Raine waved back, staying seated on top of Eda's stomach until she finally started to wrestle them off.

Y/N chuckled to themself, watching their partner and best friend wrestle on the grass playfully, leaning on the stone railing and propping their head up on a fist, crossing the back of their heels.

Y/N couldn't wait for them to cause all sorts of mischief when they got out of this stupid campus.

---

*insert Bump watching through the blinds and sobbing because it was too cute for him*

I like this AND hate this?? I'll fake myself into loving it sooner or later.

Final Post.

You read the title. I won't be continuing A Second Chance anymore. Below the cut, I explain what the plot was gonna be.

I plan on stepping away from SU as a whole now. The only thing I want to finish is Half a Puppet, which you can read on AO3. ((This is absolutely my. best work, I am super proud of it. Pearl's chapter is my magnum opus at the moment. If anything, please go read that lol.))

Thank you everyone for supporting the blog. This was fun, and it got me though COVID and a lot of 2021. I love you all a lot.

I am still active on Tumblr. I am hyperfixated on Cuphead right now, and run the @cuphead-contract-au blog. I am also working on an original project I eventually want to make into a real animated TV show called Follychromatic. You can follow my journey there. @follychromatic.

Thank you all for everything.

Basically, her thing with Connie was because Rose and Greg had been the same right before Greg made Rose go away. She doesn't want the same to happen to Steven.

Pink yelled at her and banished her. This is why she hates Pink, but loves Rose. She joined the rebellion because of that. Reread the intro bit, Rose knew what she had to do.

Spinel would learn to grow more mature and compassionate about the people around her. She would learn what a healthy relationship looks like and strive to have that with everyone. She makes up with Connie, and they become good friends.

In Future, she winds up teaching the gems how to play games. Her sole episode would be about trying to get Steven to relax, similar to Snow Day but not a replacement. It would happen closer to Mr Universe, maybe before the trip but after Steven realizes he has trauma. She'd see how down he is and try to take his mind off of things, which we realize does not work.

Stop there if you would like. Below is a long, long, LONG post, full of the ENTIRE timeline all the up through Season 4. This is copy+pasted from the google doc I had, and incomplete.

...

The full, uncut timeline, following Spinel on her journey! Everything from just single scenes in already-existent episodes all the way to fresh, new content, in chronological order, with all the important stuff, including notes on important visuals and metaphors/symbolism! Timeline starts when Spinel is first created.

17,000 Years Ago

Spinel emerges from her kindergarten.

It was on the planet above the Garden, with the large heart-shaped hole in it

She emerged as her Homeworld-designed self, and immediately recognized Pink and hugged her. Volleyball was present for it.

Pink managed to sneak Volleyball to a couple of playtimes between her and Spinel. The trio was happy, but Spinel never paid much attention to the pearl.

8,000 Years Ago

Volley’s eye cracks.

Pink had been throwing a tantrum at the time and her scream hurt her eye physically

Pink didn’t know about her healing powers before this point, so had no way of fixing it.

She rushed to the other Diamonds, asking if they knew a way to heal her

The Diamonds take Volley away and Pink swears to get better.

Instead of helping, the Diamonds saw that, despite the fact that they GAVE PINK A FRIEND, she still saw her Pearl as one and took her away

This was the moment Pink swore she wouldn’t throw a tantrum again (but note: growth isn’t linear, and yes, she DOES throw a few more first, but that’s later).

A rift is drawn between her and Spinel

Pink likes being equal to others around her, and that was the relationship she had with Volleyball. They were equals in friendship.

That was the only relationship she had like that, so when Volley got taken away, it devastated her

Spinel was created for the sole purpose of serving Pink Diamond, and her friendship is one-way to the point that she doesn’t want Pink to be on equal ground with her. She’s perfectly fine being beneath her, which Pink is highly uncomfortable with.

This is when she started getting annoyed with Spinel, and mostly started going to her to get away from the palace instead of just to play.

Pink starts becoming more mature.

In her quest to A) stop being childish, and thus B) get a colony, Pink knew she needed to grow up. So she began acting more like Yellow and Blue wanted her to.

She wasn’t happy, however, and came to the garden to let loose. She could be as childish as she wanted there.

7,500 Years Ago

Pink is gifted our Pearl

However, she is still throwing tantrums, and at one point, she hurts Pearl during one, causing her to get rejuvenated. Not gonna keep making you Pearls just to get them taken away, Pink.

This causes Pink to never want to use that blasted devise again. She wasn’t aware that it completely reset a gem, just that it erased certain behaviors and memories.

Our Pearl is programmed for no funny business, creating another one-sided relationship that Pink doesn’t want any part of.

Spinel and Pearl met only a few times before the thing happens, but enough that Pearl knows who she is and can remember her later.

6,000 Years Ago (000)

Spinel is left in the Garden

It’s finally paying off. The Diamonds see Pink as one of them (only took 2,000 years, haha!). She’s given Earth as a colony.

However, because the Garden is her place to let loose, she gets extremely annoyed at Spinel for jumping around her like she does. She’s worried they might take her colony away again.

She didn’t mean to forget about her. The way she was always punished was that she was locked in the tower. How is this any different?

Spinel is NOT going to mess this up for her.

Pink comes to Earth

Colonization begins in the Prime Kindergarten

5,850 years ago: (150)

The Amethysts emerge

Pink goes down to Earth with Pearl

They keep sneaking off for about two months before Pink really realizes what it’s doing to the planet

Pink starts trying to persuade the Diamonds to leave the planet alone.

At first, they don’t take her seriously, but when she keeps asking, they start to get annoyed with her. They threaten that this is her colony, she wants it, so if she ever wants to have another, she is to shut it.

Blue is much harsher during this time, and Yellow is a bit softer. Just a tiny bit, though. (Grief changes the both of them)

Coral and Amber approach Spinel and ask her if she wants to play with them. She says no, that she’s already playing with Pink. They insist, having seen that Pink probably isn’t coming back any time soon, but again, Spinel says that Pink wants her to stay still. So that’s what she’s gonna do. The duo retreat into maintaining the garden, but their own worry starts to make the garden run rampant.

5,825 years ago (175)

Blue starts the human zoo

Pink tries to show her life and say that she wants to preserve it.

Blue just kinda rolls her eyes and goes “okay fine” and the zoo is built.

5,800 years ago: (200)

Pink gives up trying to persuade them

Though not entirely, as she does bring it up sometimes.

The Gem War begins

Pink starts leading a double life

5,750 years ago: (250)

Garnet meets Rose and Pearl

Pink starts fighting for gems

Now recruits newly-emerged gems into her army

Rose starts spreading her message

Pink starts to become more isolated, starting rumors about herself

5,650 years ago: (350)

Beta Kindergarten gems are commissioned per Yellow’s request

Rose’s army is now a genuine threat

Homeworld gems start to hear her message and switch, or fear her, depending on what they hear

5,600 years ago: (400)

Coral and Amber try again to get Spinel to move, but she insists that she’s okay where she is.

5,500 years ago (500)

Jasper and the other Betas emerge

There is a massive battle at the Beta Kindergarten as Jasper starts her path of destruction

Word of it gets to Rose, but she’s too late to get there. Jasper took out almost all the Crystal Gems stationed at the Beta Kindergarten.

5,400 years ago: (600)

Eyeball arrives on the battlefield with seven other Rubies, responsible for aiding Pink Diamond as extra muscle around her area

Pink likes to keep her Rubies as far from her as possible, just from the discomfort they bring (and because they make it hard for her to sneak off)

5,375 years ago (625)

Rose and Pearl come across a human child all alone

This reminds Rose of Spinel

She gets her and brings her to Earth

Spinel stood in the garden for about 625 years

Coral and Amber are left behind without a second thought

Two years later, Pink banishes her

Spinel becomes a Crystal Gem

5,300 years ago (700)

The whole thing with Bismuth goes down

Rose doesn’t have Lion by this time, so she stores the bubble away in Bismuth’s forge instead

Spinel is devastated, but not enough to poof herself.

She knew Bismuth for about 75 years.

5,250 years ago (750)

Spinel and Eyeball meet on the battlefield, though nothing too interesting happens. Eyeball gets her pinned at one point, which is really hard to do, but it ultimately ends in a draw

5,200 years ago (800)

Spinel meets Jasper on the battlefield, resulting in a showdown. Spinel is terrified of Jasper’s power and strength, and runs from her. There’s a chase as she and some of her close friends flee.

She makes a huge choice and decides that they can’t run forever, and to save her friends, she turns to face Jasper herself.

The two fight, with Spinel actually doing okay, but she winds up getting poofed

She would have been shattered, but 7TH and 7TP rush in. One throws her gem to the bushes while they fight, resulting in getting poofed. Jasper decides to keep them for information, and can’t find Spinel’s gem.

Spinel reforms and rushes off to the CG base in tears, only to learn that her friends sacrificed themselves to save her.

She swears that she will get them back, and she and Jasper shall meet again.

5,150 years ago (850)

Pink “shatters”

Spinel feels grief even though she knows well that Pink abused her. Pearl has a talk with her about the whole thing, and Spinel feels better, knowing there’s someone else who misses her too. (BUT REMEMEBER THE GAG ORDER)

Immediately, the Homeworld gems start a plan to shatter every Crystal Gem, with new intel from a rebel on a potential place their base may be.

A huge battle takes place, drawing all gems on Earth to it

Yellow comes down in a ship and starts work on the Cluster, heading to the Prime Kindergarten to issue the experiments immediately, while there are no witnesses

Blue follows her, and the two have a confrontation with each other

Yellow wins the argument, and Blue reluctantly agrees, leaving in her ship after grabbing a few more humans for the zoo (to remember her by)

The Crystal Gems are victorious

5,100 years ago (900)

The Cluster’s plantation is completed

Yellow slips back off the planet under the cover of night

5,000 years ago (1,000)

The Homeworld gems flee

Premature celebration happens

Spinel was hugging Pearl in joy when Rose grabbed Pearl, saving Spinel from the attack too

The Diamond Attack blasts the Earth and corrupts the gems

The war is over… for now.

4,500 years ago (1,500)

Amethyst emerges

1975

Greg is born

1997

Greg meets Rose Quartz (22 years old)

2001

Steven is born

Rose “dies”

This is the event that drives a rift between Spinel and Amethyst. Spinel was greedy for all of Rose’s attention there at the end, but her respect for Pearl and for Garnet as leader allowed them to get close to her. However, she literally pushed Amethyst away during that time, and because of that, Amethyst’s time with Rose was reduced from what it could have been. From then on, Amethyst holds a grudge against Spinel, and she retaliates since trying to make it up to the little Quartz failed.

2009

Steven (8) moves in with the gems

August 15, 2013

Steven turns 12 years old, the age he is at the start of the show

SEASON 1

Spinel’s arc starts in “Bubble Buddies,” in which Spinel is jealous of Connie

Man of the Mountain

Spinel feels she and Steven are drifting apart, and decides to try and get close to him again. They play in her room in the Temple, sending Steven off on a quest as a knight (which can be played on when Connie steps into that role irl). During it, things go too far and she has to rescue Steven. They had fun, though, and he confirms for her that they’re still close.

Giant Woman

Not worthy to make an entire ep out of, but basically, Spinel CAN go with Garnet to get the Earth Beetle. Spinel can swim in lava, just not for as long as Garnet can. She’s meant to be backup.

So Close

After “Giant Woman,” Steven stages another adventure to try and get Amethyst and Spinel to fuse, too, just like what happened with Pearl and Amethyst, but spoiler alert, it doesn’t happen. Instead, we learn that their arguments started when Steven was born, which kinda begins his self-blame and awareness of his family’s tensions even more so than “Giant Woman,” wherein he was mostly focused on himself rather than his family getting along. “Emotional hell” episode.

Steven the Sword-Fighter

Spinel grabs Pearl’s gem before it hits the ground with her elastic abilities, and basically stands vigil by it while waiting for her to reform. She sasses Holo-Pearl, insulting her, and in this scenario, Spinel is the one to accidentally start a fight with the thing. Steven, not wanting another family member to get hurt because of it, tries to help out and ultimately defeats the hologram. Spinel remained by Pearl’s gem the whole time, though attacked from a distance. Once Pearl reforms, Spinel hugs her and doesn’t stop until sometime after the star has crossed the screen and ended the episode.

This Just In

Just a fun one. :)

Parody of Scooby-Doo! Spinel starts narrating everything and breaking the fourth wall while she does it, too, creating drama (and giving a reason for the title to be just that).

Mirror Gem

Spinel walks in on Steven setting up a school and gawks, asking why he would want to do that? She went to school back in the 1930’s and it was terrible. When Pearl suggests the mirror, Spinel is just as in awe of it as Steven, showing that she doesn’t know what it is. She is with the two of them all day, and is delighted to find a friend in the “defective” mirror. When Steven wants to tell the gems, Spinel insists that it’s a bad idea, but poor Season 1 Steven doesn’t pick up on her nervousness and tells them anyway. As things tense, Spinel runs to Pearl, trying to tell her that it’s okay, the mirror isn’t a threat, but all this does is separate her from Steven when Garnet tries to take the mirror from him. He runs out alone, and all the gems run out to try and find him. Same plays out as he sets Lapis free. She then yells at the OG3 for knowing she was in there, but not letting her go. She offers Steven and Spinel to go “home” with her, which Spinel knows what she means and refuses. She offers instead to have Lapis stay on Earth, where they’re safe from Homeworld’s cruelty. Lapis refuses, tells them both not to trust the OG3, and walks into the ocean. Spinel is hurt that they didn’t mention Lapis to her, but doesn’t say anything (for fear of what happened between her and Pink).

Secret Team

As Steven, Pearl, and Amethyst run around the Temple fixing their mistakes, Steven stumbles across Spinel. She asks what he’s doing, to which Steven responds “nothing!” and keeps searching. Spins is suspicious, but again, says nothing. She hears Garnet’s speech at the end, though, and realizes that they were keeping secrets from her again.

Left Behind

Spinel calls everyone together, and says she knows everyone is keeping stuff from her. She inquires what that might be, and when no one speaks up, decides to create her own. She enlists Steven’s help, and together, they start creating secrets to keep from the gems. It escalates until it’s just Amethyst, though (as Garnet has future vision and Spinel just can’t do that to Pearl), and Amethyst is aware of it. She calls Spinel out, the others telling her that she has to stop, and she confesses that she feels betrayed because of the whole Lapis thing, then the Secret Team thing. Garnet tells her in her most gentle voice that Spinel couldn’t handle that kind of information, to which Spinel realizes that they don’t trust her. She runs off. Garnet tells Steven she’ll bounce back and get over it, but he follows her anyway. He finds her, just in time to hear her sing about feeling left out in the group. He walks up to her and tells her he feels the same way, and that if she wants to be with them, she’s just gotta try harder. That’s what he does. Spinel agrees, and the ep ends on a bittersweet note.

Fusion Cuisine

Zoisite is teased, as when Steven tries to bring his whole family, that means Spinel too, but because of Amethyst’s and Spinel’s tense relationship, the fusion fails. Instead, she’s left behind again (as Connie mentioned nothing about a sister…), and Alexandrite goes instead. Then it plays out the same way.

Warp Tour

In a bout of pure betrayal Spinel ultimately sides with the Gems instead of Steven, singling him out from the group. She agrees Steven is being silly. However, she stays with him as he stays up, trying to get him to take his mind off stuff. He refuses, and she gives up, heading back into the Temple. If he wants to play, he’s welcome to. Just give a knock. Then it plays out the same way.

The Test

Spinel’s room features a few funky, funny, not-quite booby traps. A cage comes down and nearly traps him (though like the spikes in Garnet’s room, would stop before it actually hit or trapped him), he has to jump around on a few platforms out of the reach of what looks like octopus tentacles, and then he lands in a ball pit after jumping off the platform. Finally, it’s a riddle to guess which door was correct, to which there are three doors, meaning three answers. Each door leads out, but Spinel makes it seem like there’s a pitfall trap in front of each to make it matter. Steven gets the answer right (the answer being a rabbit), and moves on to Garnet’s room. During the gem’s talk, Spinel insists that giving him an actual win would be a lot better, but Pearl states instead that this would work the same way. As long as he can do this, it’ll raise his confidence. Spinel agrees with Amethyst’s assessment of “we’re bad at this,” and the conversation goes the same way, as does the episode.

The Mountain Spire

After the episode “Horror Club,” Garnet discovers that due to two simultaneously occurring “earthquakes,” two Gem structures are bound to collapse. She and Amethyst take one, Pearl and Spinel take the other. Steven insists on coming along, and Garnet allows it. While walking, we see bird and rabbit imagery, as Steven goes on about how the last two times they were on an adventure like this, Opal happened! The other time, though, Amethyst and Spinel fought. But if Opal happened, then there was a chance something could happen this time, too, right? They arrive at a tall structure with pieces falling collapsing more by the second; the Mountain Spire. They have to replace to Sun Goddess statue, which was already up there. Steven’s now getting some flashbacks to a different adventure he was on, and now is determined to make sure he doesn’t mess this one up, too! Not a second time!

Spinel repeatedly runs ahead, appearing to be playing, when in actuality, she’s clearing the coast for Steven and Pearl. She constantly looks for Pearl’s approval. Pearl gets progressively more annoyed. Finally, she confronts Spinel about her behavior, stating that she doesn’t like the clinginess she’s been showing. It looks like it’ll escalate, but Spinel doesn’t try to argue with Pearl at all. She admits that she’s attached to her, maybe more than she should be, but that’s because she respects her. When Spinel was lost, who picked her up and showed her a home with the Crystal Gems? Pearl. She had always believed in Spinel, and Spinel just feels good being around her and being there for her. Pearl says she had no idea, and admits that she maybe has been a bit harsh on her lately, and they both come to peaceful understanding without Steven’s help. (Note: Spinel and Pearl are both lesser gems, and they can connect using that, too. Try to hint at that if possible.)

Climax: the statue has fallen, and the top of the spire is collapsing. The statue is about to fall through the floor (with many many many holes in it), and Spinel can’t reach that far without getting a bit wobbly, so she doesn’t want to risk reaching for it and causing it to fall. They need to be more careful. Spinel and Pearl fuse into Lepidolite. She is agile, stretchy, careful, and self-sacrificial to a fault. She leaps in, bouncing across the room and grabbing the statue before anything can happen to it. Then, the ground shakes again and the floor beneath Steven caves, causing him to fall. She catches him, but only just. She is stretched too far now (as her stretchiness isn’t as much as Spins on her own), and has to make a choice. A vacuum just like the one around the Sea Spire sucks Steven down, making her lose her grip on him, and she makes the decision to go for him rather than the building. She pulls, tossing him up and onto safe land, then falls. She tosses the statue back up to him, and he has to put it back. Once he has, the spire fixes itself, and Lepidolite is saved. She brings Steven down to her level (since they’re going down now), and jokes about the place being a fixer-upper, before unfusing. The three gems head back, mission successful.

Garnet and Amethyst were also able to fix their building, but their victory is short lived as Steven starts gushing about the fusion he saw. Pearl and Spinel smile at each other. Together, they are pretty great, huh?

Frienemies

After “Maximum Capacity.” Another episode to progress Spinel’s relationships with Connie and Amethyst. Connie comes over for the day, and Spinel insists that she hang out with them, too. Everything Connie does is “wrong,” and she leaves in a huff. When Steven offers to play video games with Spinel and Amethyst, the two start bickering with each other. A few days later, Connie comes back over and Steven tries to push Spinel away, but the gem refuses to leave the two alone. Connie confronts her, asking what he problem is. Connie has never done anything to Spinel before, right? We find out that Spinel has made it her mission to be Steven’s best friend, since that was Rose’s final request of her before she died, and both Amethyst and Connie are “getting in the way.” Connie sees through it and notes Spinel’s jealousy, insisting that he is still his own person, too. Spinel tries to retaliate, but Steven stands up for himself, saying anyone can be his friend and Spinel cannot decide that for him. If he’s Spinel’s best friend, cool, but he’s allowed to hang out with other people, too! Spinel is shocked into silence for a moment. All three others come to comfort her, empathizing about wanting a friend (Connie) and missing Rose (Amethyst). When Connie leaves, Spinel gives her an apology and asks if they’re on stable ground. Connie doesn’t know, but it’s a start. She leaves. Spinel smiles and hugs Steven, insisting she’ll try to do better.

The Return

Jasper and Spinel recognise each other. Spinel shakes with rage. Jasper says she’d be interested in taking Spins on again, just for the challenge, but Garnet jumps in before Spinel can answer, demanding Jasper leave this planet. Things mostly play out the same, except when Garnet gets poofed, Spinel acts immediately. She creates the illusion of a battlefield, masking her approach as she attacks from behind. Jasper, however, expects this, and catches her, throwing her into Pearl and Amethyst as they run closer. Jasper then grabs Steven and knocks him out, ending the episode. Jailbreak plays out the same way.

SEASON 2

Crossover Calamity

This would replace the Uncle Grandpa episode! It’s a goofy, non-canon ep in which Spinel and Amethyst visit different SU AUs together, all while fighting.

Starts off with Spinel raiding Amethyst’s room for her timepiece, since she got to keep it in “Steven and the Stevens”. She needs it for a game she’s playing. Amethyst catches her and the two fight over it. It winds up transporting them across dimensions instead of though time, and they wind up in a Steven Universe x Undertale crossover. They meet Steven and Frisk, and when Steven wonders what Amethyst is doing here and doesn’t recognise Spinel, it’s clear they’re not in the same timeline. They have to work together to get back, since the timepiece is cracked.

Next, they visit Bendy and the Ink Machine (since there is officially a crossover with that one now). They walk in on Bendy singing “Welcome Home”, and get attacked by the Ink Demon. They teleport away right as he’s about to catch them, transporting to an equally dangerous situation in a different AU. They run, going through a few more AUs until they wind up in canon SU, during “Other Friends.” They watch Spinel poof the gems, then leave, traumatized.

They end up in front of the Spinel House, where Spinel is instantly drawn to. Henry Stickmin reference! Her options are: Knock, Amethyst, Break In, Remove Layer, or Request Entry.

Knock: Is the correct answer. Spinel knocks on the door and is let in

Amethyst: Reference to Charles! Ames runs off-screen, shapeshifts into a helicopter, and crashes into the building. Fail line: Amethyst, flying in! :D ...You were expecting this, weren’t you?

Break In: Amethyst and Spinel concoct an elaborate plan to break in. It goes successfully, until they land in the middle of the room from crawling through the vents. The Spinels think they’re getting robbed and attack. Fail line: Everyone knows gravity only exists in cartoons when it’s least convenient, c’mon now.

Remove Layer: Animation/drawing joke. A tab is brought up showing all the layers in Ibis Paint, and the layer with the House is turned off. The spinels all stare at Star, and it end in a fail just like that. Fail line: You were supposed to get INTO the house, not make it disappear completely!

Request Entry: Meta joke! I suddenly show up out of nowhere and get pushed into the building to meet the directors and request that Spinel get added to the house. But my social anxiety to talk to them ruins this and I walk back out. Fail line: This is why people typically approach me first.

Back to business. Once Spinel has knocked and is let in, she meets the Spinels! It’s Spinel Hell for Amethyst, and she wants to get out of there as fast as possible. Joke about how the House is a place for Spinels to get away from the cruelty of their actual AU existence, and then ask if Star wants to join. She says no. Spinel asks if it’s possible to repair the timepiece, to which Rejuvenated or Spinny just slaps some duct tape on it and calls it good, sending Star!Spinel and Amethyst back on their way. It works, and they end up back on the beach. Spinel thanks the stars that’s over, and starts to walk off with the timepiece, ready to continue her game. But then Amethyst fights her for it, and they start crashing through several AUs, probably at dramatic/important parts and completely interrupting everything. Their final stand would be in either SU canon or breaking the fourth wall entirely and they exist on Tumblr or other social media accounts. They have a talk while fighting/playing keep-away, and reconcile. They teleport one final time and end back up on the beach. Amethyst decides it’s whatever and lets Spinel play with it, but she gives it back, claiming to not want it anymore. The two wind up dumping it in the ocean.

And that is why Spinel looks like a wreck. She smiles proudly at Steven as she finishes telling her story. He believes her until Garnet warps back in, asking her how training with Amethyst went after Ames threw her in the sea with her whip. Spinel groans, insisting Garnet ruined the mood. But then we go into the ocean, only to see that the dimension piece is actually there, at the bottom of the sea…

Optional: Spinel pulls a Genie and pulls up the bottom of the page, saying “Made you look!” Then the credits would roll with all the AUs present/used in the story.

AUs: SU x UT, SU x BATIM, HTTYM, I Am My Diamond, SU-Revived, The Spinel House, lab-raised-steven, White Diamond Steven AU, (maybe Gone Wrong? But make it more like a joke than anything serious,) Starhair!Spinel, being-monster-au, su-rogue, restore-the-universe, CHITSU, irl, silent films, SU x GF, SU x TOH, that one gif of Spinel doing the Distraction Dance, Perfect Steven, SU Rewritten, Spinel Goes to Homeworld (“I can’t believe I’m talkin’ ta my reflection-“), Corrupted Spinel, SU x Epic Mickey, plus any and all

M E M E S. Also, potentially foreshadow as much as you want.

wow that was a lot lmao

Sworn to the Sword

Spinel teases Connie about wanting to train, but in a more light-hearted way that before. She is serious as she tries to warn Connie about Pearl’s teachings, insisting that Pearl could go extreme sometimes, but Connie ignores her, insisting it’ll be okay. The rest of the episode plays out the same, except when Spinel finds out Connie fell for Connie’s teachings, she remarks that she tried to tell her, earning her a glare from Steven. “Just sayin’,” she says, shrugging, but her concern is evident. Rest of the ep is the same.

We Need to Talk

Spinel was doing the filming on the tape Greg and the band was recording, and her cinematography (due to her stretchy limbs) is amazing. She gets along with Greg very well, and thinks he and Rose are cute together. She does join Pearl in teasing him, but her teasing is much more light-hearted than Pearl’s salty, “you’re just a phase” teasing. She is Rose’s best friend, and she doesn’t think Greg can change that. At the end of the episode, though, she is fearful that she was wrong, and Rose and Greg might be closer than any of the other gems to her. She and Pearl share a fearful glance.

Time and Place

The gems are on a mission to recover an object somewhere inside a volcano. Spinel goofs off with Steven, and Garnet commands them to stop. This place is dangerous. Steven stops, but Spinel persists, continuing to make faces and perform silly stunts to try and get him to smile. She does a dramatic flip into a stalactite, bouncing off of it and landing in front of Steven with a “tadaa!” The stalactite cracks and falls, blocking the corruption they’re trying to get to away and nearly getting everyone else hurt or poofed. Spinel herself falls into the lava, but climbs back out perfectly fine. Garnet benches her, insisting that she be more responsible and serious, comparing her to Steven and driving a rift between them unintentionally. Afterwards, Spinel tries to show responsibility as things run awry in the house- the house gets messy and she cleans it, the fridge stops running and she plugs it in, the heater was working in overdrive so she shuts it off. It comes to a climax as a corrupted gem, the same one they were after in the volcano, suddenly warps into the house and wreaks havoc. It’s revealed she caused everything, and after the gem is dealt with, Spinel apologizes, saying that hey, at least she dug the guy out of the rock fall! Garnet doesn’t unbench her, though, and insists that she needs to show real responsibility and start taking things seriously. Steven comes over to comfort her, saying that there is a time and a place for this kind of behavior, and the volcano wasn’t it. She nods, accepting that.

Chille Tid

Spinel is still benched, and so was waiting for everyone at the beach house. She stays behind for the slumber party, though Amethyst and Steven have to team up to make sure she doesn’t go in the Temple. This is because, when Spinel starts dreaming, her illusion powers kick in and she starts showing what she’s dreaming. Tonight, she dreams of playing with Rose and Steven both inside her garden (foreshadowing the Rose/Pink reveal). This provides a bit of backstory for her, too. She’s awoken as Rose wilts away like an actual rose, and Steven vanishes. Her feet are wrapped in roots, and she sits up quickly only to see that the others had been watching.

She’s ecstatic to learn that Lapis is okay.

Amends

The gems leave for a mission, but Steven stays behind with the still-benched Spinel. He plans a full day of fun for the two of them! Later, they bump into Greg, who is just off of another hard day of work at the car wash, being kept on his toes recently. To relax, they decide to jam out together. At one point, Steven would ask how often Rose joined him (knowing that she’s sung with him at least once) and what she played. Greg responds, saying that she would play and sing with him often. Spinel interjects, commenting that the more she hung out with him, the less she was there for everyone else, and the more lonely Spinel got. She realizes she said that out loud, and dives head-first into apologies, throwing back to some of the things she said in Man of the Mountain (“don’t hate me” and “It won’t happen again” etc). Both Greg and Steven calm her down and ask what brought that on. We now find out that Spinel was abandoned a LOT in the past, but with the CGs, she felt better, but then Greg came along and she started feeling that way again. She hates being alone. She likes him, though, so she never said anything. She tries so hard not to blame Greg- he didn’t know. She never told him, or anyone, since that wasn’t a very nice thing to do and friends are nice to their friends (she’s actually scared of being screamed at like with what happened with Pink). Please don’t hate her? Greg insists that no, he doesn’t, and that he’s sorry he didn’t realize. She’s sorry, too. Steven speaks up, stating that it was really brave of Spinel to tell them that, and to overcome her fear of them thinking less of her or something. He’s proud of her. She smiles at that.

The next day, Greg wakes up late (like, it’s NOON levels of late). He rushes outside to see Spinel doing his job for him at the car wash, and doing it quite well! Steven is there helping her. When asked what’s going on, Spinel states that she still felt bad for what happened yesterday and wanted to do something nice for Greg, so she took over the car wash for the day! She turned off his alarm so he could get some rest, and has been doing a good lot of the washing. She also gave the van itself a wash, and cleaned all the brushes inside. Greg, in awe, thanks her a lot and gives her a hug. He makes an offhand comment about her showing initiative like that, and how that responsibility was something he never expected from her. Garnet agrees, walking up behind them. Upon seeing the maroon gem, Spinel apologizes again for the volcano incident, and promises to do better. Garnet, having seen that Spinel is capable of taking control and responsibility, unbenches her. Spinel doesn’t stop helping Greg, though, and at the end of the day, they all get ice cream together. Fin.

Too Far

Peridot doesn’t know what to make of Spinel, not having ever even heard of her before. We find out she’s one-of-a-kind, built to be a best friend! She likes to be friends with everyone! Peridot states that she and Amethyst don’t get along, causing the pink gem to blush and run off.

Too Close (NEW FORM)

Spinel now tries to be Amethyst’s Best Friend, along with LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE where she can! It gets toxic quickly, and she more or less becomes Amethyst’s more-annoying personal Pearl for the day. Peridot is quick to point this out. Amethyst confronts her about it, and they have one last fight before Spinel finally starts to learn that you don’t have to give your everything in order to be a good friend (and stop pampering them GEEZ). That’s unhealthy. It’s obsessive. It can smother people! She needs to find a better balance! Spinel states that if she doesn’t give everything, then she feels like she’s lacking on her end, that she isn’t doing enough. If she isn’t by her friend’s side all the time, who’s to say they won’t get mad at her, or leave her? Steven points out how exhausted Spinel has become while taking care of everyone so obsessively. Amethyst agrees, stating that she cannot run herself ragged trying to do everything all at once. She insists that she’s okay, that she can keep going. She was built to be a friend, and she’s been slacking on her end. She’s not gonna stop until everyone around her is happy! She’ll prove it! She then runs away to make the Best Day Ever for everyone, but Amethyst chases her down, now determined to make her see sense. She tackles the other gem, telling her that if she truly wanted to be someone’s friend, she needed to calm down, back off, and respect their wishes to have her leave people alone! Spinel poofs, mostly from exhaustion, but also because she’s getting Pink Diamond flashbacks.

When she reforms, she walks up to Amethyst and apologizes. If being a friend means leaving people alone, then that was something she was going to have to work on. Being a friend isn’t gonna be easy, but she can try. Just let her know whenever they need her to leave? Amethyst says she’ll do so, and the two hug it out. While doing so, Spinel asks if they can start over, and try being friends again. Amethyst agrees, saying it’s worth a shot.

SEASON 3

Super Watermelon Island

With Spinel and Amethyst finally getting along, Zoisite can now be formed! The battle with Malachite still happens, but now featuring Spinel’s illusion powers and Lepidolite’s feather duster (for cartoony hyjinx).

Barn Mates

At the end of the episode, Spinel is super happy to finally see Lapis again, but surprising everyone, she doesn’t leap into Lapis’ arms or anything. She instead extends a hand to shake.

Hit the Diamond

Spinel plays referee and pitcher. While doing the lineup, she announces that her name is Sarah, or would Sandy be better? She’s shushed. Later, there’s a throw-away line about how if the CGs don’t win this match, she, Sandy, is quitting. She knows what’s gonna happen and isn’t gonna stick around to witness it. Someone smacks her for breaking the fourth wall.

Too Short to Ride

Spinel stretches out without shapeshifting, which makes Peridot even more upset that she can’t do it. During the shapeshifting part, Spinel becomes a dog and a rabbit, playing a game of chase with Amethyst.

Trapped

After “The New Lars”. The hunt for Jasper continues, but Spinel and Steven take a break to go visit Peridot and Lapis. Steven and Peri hang out for a while before realizing that Spinel and Lapis are gone. They go looking for them, discovering them atop the silo. They’re laughing. Spinel apologizes for the whole mirror thing, saying that she knows what it’s like to be trapped and abandoned for years, too. Lapis says that it wasn’t her fault, it was Homeworld’s. Spinel says she knows that feel, having been the playmate of her old owner before she got left behind like a broken toy. She insists that Lapis had it worse, though, since she was forced to stay in one spot whereas Spinel chose to stay there, forever… Lapis tells her not to compare what they went through. They’re both hurt, and they can connect over it. That’s what’s important, not who had it worse. Spinel gives her a side hug, saying that she’s really glad Lapis is here. Steven and Peri decide to give them some privacy and leave, the other pair being none the wiser they were ever there.

Days pass, and the hunt continues. Pearl asks Steven if he’s seen Spinel, to which he says no. Garnet states that they need to find her and she warps them to the barn. There, Spinel and Lapis are continuing to hang out. Pearl is the first to scold, demanding to know where Spinel has been when they’re trying to find Jasper? Peridot hears this and tries to get Pearl to stop talking, but she doesn’t. That rogue gem is only going to cause trouble! Spinel feels awful, starting to apologize, but Lapis cuts her off. She insists that Spinel is always being left behind anyway, and has to constantly wear a smile to keep morale up, which makes her feel trapped, but here, she doesn’t have to do that! She’s free! She doesn’t have to be anyone’s friend here. So back off and leave her alone! Steven asks timidly if that’s true, to which Spinel nods.

She explains that she’s been trying to keep her distance, like Amethyst asked her to, but she feels like she isn’t being a good friend and is slacking off. That makes her stressed, because she knows her friends don’t want her around, so she kept coming here. She doesn’t have to be friends with Lapis or Peridot- that expectation was never there with them. She’s free to just relax here and get her mind off stuff. She didn’t mean to stay away for so long, but she thought no one wanted her there unless they had work for her to do. How can you be a friend if you stayed away? She had no idea, and it was so, so confusing. Spinel says that she was made to be a best friend to one person, and when that person sent her away, she felt lost. The same thing was happening again, and she didn’t know what to do. f

Lapis explains that she used to be a terriformer, shaping planets for her superiors forever and she wasn’t happy. But now, she feels much more free. Playing mediator, Steven builds on that, and explains that she shouldn’t have to feel like she needs to be friends with everyone. That’s an impossible task. If she needs to force it, then it isn’t friendship, and instead, is more just servitude. Lapis and Pearl both agree. Be friends with who you want. Who do you want to be friends with? Spinel thinks, hesitant to say her answer in fear she’ll make people angry, but everyone insists they won’t be. She says she wants to be friends with Steven, Amethyst, and Lapis for sure. She looks up to Pearl and Garnet, and they’re always gonna be family, and they can stay that way. For now. Everyone (sans Peri) hugs her, proud of her, before Peridot interrupts and announces that if she wants to be friends with Lapis, they’d have to fight over it. It looks like Spinel might fall back on old habits for a second before Peridot laughs, saying she was joking. There’s enough Lapis for both of them. Lapis, embarrassed, flies off. The ep ends as Spinel and Peridot look at each other in confusion, wondering what they said.

Together Again (formerly called “Camping”)

After “Restaurant Wars”. Spinel decides to take her friends camping! Lapis was “busy,” so it was just Amethyst and Steven with her. While out, they discover a corrupted gem, a quartz of some kind. She is a powerhouse and overruns everyone, then won’t leave them alone. The monster is big, and the group is in the mountains, so they slip into a small cave in the mountains where the beast can’t get them. As it walks away, Spinel sees the gem, located on its shoulder- it has a scratch in it. It’s 7TP. Her eyes flash in recognition, and she then tries to take it herself. She winds up pinned beneath the amethyst’s paw. She confesses that she knew the gem from the war, and it was one of her best friends. On the battlefield, the fight that occurred just before everyone was corrupted, 7TP got a scratch across her gem, not deep enough to count as a crack, but deep enough to be recognizable. They have to bubble her, quick! Steven and Amethyst get 7TP off Spinel and fighting ensues, but Spinel can’t bring herself to hurt her old friend now that she can put a face to the monster. Amethyst and Steven can’t take her alone, and at one point Amethyst is thrown down next to Spinel. The two agree that this isn’t working, and they fuse.

Lavender Alexite is a smaller, squishier version of Sugallite, now with 85% less visible muscle! Amethyst’s determination combines with Spinel’s frustration, and both of them together are able to bring the fusion down with their grappling hook-like weapon, tying her up and Lavender herself finishing the corruption off. Spinel bubbles her after Steven heals her, sending her off. Unprompted, she explains that when her old owner decided to get rid of her, 7TP was by her side. She’s been by Spinel’s side for so long. Refueled determination to heal corruption.

Note: Maybe mention 7TH at some point?

Monster Reunion

Spinel is shocked that the corruption could be healed as she was, but gives Steven space to be with Neph. At the end, she asks Steven if she could do that again, to which Garnet says no.

Healing Haze

Spinel goes up to Steven in the middle of the night to wake him up. She tells him that Garnet and the rest of the Gems are out on a mission trying to find Jasper, and they think that she’s exploring the desert. She drags him into the Bubble Room, brings down 7TP, and unbubbled her. Steven, having had no say in this (and was half-asleep until just now), freaks out. As 7TP is reforming, Spinel tells him to heal her before she wrecks the place and they both get in trouble! He does, slapping on some healing spit, and 7TP half uncorrupts. Spinel cautiously approaches, asking if the gem remembers her. She shapeshifts back into her War design, to which the gem now recognizes her. Spinel starts calling her Violet. Violet starts to freak out, realizing she’s been corrupted, and rushes to look at her reflection. She’s shocked and dazed. Spinel calms her down enough to switch the topic over to Steven, gesturing for him to come on over. She introduces them to each other, and tells Violet that things will be okay now. However, just like with Nephrite, Violet eventually recorrupts. Spinel bubbles her again, then thanks Steven, giving him a crushing hug.

The next night, she asks the same thing from him. Seeing Spinel so happy the previous night makes Steven more willing to let the gem out this time, though he still isn’t completely onboard. But, they have fun anyway, until Violet recorrupts again.

They do this again and again, with Steven’s unease growing more and more. This feels wrong, and he tells Connie as much on the phone. Connie tells him that he needs to get Spinel to stop. They bubble those gems for a reason- so they don’t suffer. By letting her out, having her back for a while, only to have her become a monster again, over and over and over… that can’t be good for poor 7TP. What if that has some kind of long-term effects? They need to stop. Besides, getting poofed so many times must hurt, even if Violet does just accept it when the time comes. Steven agrees, and when Spinel inevitably comes up to him the next night, he tells her all that. Spinel is devastated, and tells him to go back to sleep.

He wakes up to Spinel yelling. He looks over and sees 7TP running out of the Temple, fully corrupted, with Spinel tearing after her from behind, waving a cloth. Steven asks what in blazes she’s doing, to which she replies that she took some of his spit while he was sleeping and put it on this here very cloth and she put that on the gem and it didn’t work! She’s still corrupted! Steven gets understandably upset, and now the goal becomes catching Violet, and fast!

They wind up bringing her in through music, with Spinel singing a lullaby to her (a nod to Blue Order). Steven can now heal her, but since she’s already formed, it doesn’t do anything. She’s aware enough to have a conversation with now that she’s calm, though (maybe?) and Spinel apologizes for everything. They poof and bubble her again, for good this time.

When the other gems get back in the morning, they ask what happened to the house. Spinel owns up to her mistakes, and accepts the fact that they’re gonna bench her again. Garnet tells her no- Spinel understood what she did was wrong and learned her lesson. 7TP will be better off in the bubble, for now. Spinel asks about, since Garnet has future vision, why didn’t she stop her from unbubbling Violet so many times? Garnet states simply that Spinel was going to learn her lesson, and this was the only way that she’d truly understand. Just words weren’t gonna work.

Catching Up

After “Alone at Sea,” Spinel decides to do something fun with Lapis just like they did with Peridot. Shorty Squad Assemble, now featuring Spinel and Lapis! They decide to spend a day wherever Lapis wanted to be, which for now, was the barn. Understandable.

Next step, make Lapis a bootleg Funland! They all set up a bunch of fun activities around the barn, including a ring toss, a bean bag toss, a dance floor (with a radio), and water balloons! There’s also a game of baseball if people wanna play.

It’s a cute ep that is filled with fluff until, after a while, Lapis keeps zoning out. Steven, Peri, and Spins all try to keep her distracted, but Amethyst is the one who eventually steps up and tells Lapis to just spit it out. Lapis explains that Jasper has been on her mind, and she appreciates what everyone is doing for her- it has truly been fun- but it’s not working. Everything that happened on the boat is fresh in her mind, and she honestly just wants to be alone while she processes everything. Sorry for being a downer. She flies back into the barn.

Spinel and Steven go after her, though Amethyst and Peridot agree it’s best to leave her alone. The two find her on the top floor, and inch closer. Spinel tells her that she shouldn’t be alone to think about this kind of thing- being alone sucks. They both should know that by now. Steven asks if she wants to talk about it. Lapis says no. She appreciates the sentiment, really, but she needs to figure things out alone. They don’t know what it’s like to battle Jasper constantly, how tiring being stuck with her is. Spinel pipes up, saying that although that’s true, she does know what it’s like to fight Jasper. It was 5,300 years ago. They met on the battlefield, and she nearly got shattered that day. She recounts the story. She never had someone to talk to about it, and she thought that she couldn’t, since she was supposed to be everyone’s friend, their relief. But that’s not how it works. Right? It goes both ways? So don’t be silent.

Lapis says that she just doesn’t want to talk about it. There are things that happened down there that she doesn’t really want anyone to know about, and she wants to keep it down. Though, again, she really appreciates the sentiment. Steven and Spinel leave, then meet up with the guys down below.

They play baseball for a while, two on two, before someone hits the ball super far away. Lapis comes back with it, saying she’ll talk when she’s ready, but for now, let’s just have fun. Ends on a lighter note.

Bismuth

Spinel is almost as happy to see Bis as Pearl! Almost. Her weapon upgrade is a serrated blade. While sparring, Spinel turns on the illusion powers, then bounces around her like a ping pong ball. She attacks from behind, but Bismuth, expecting this, catches her. She shoves Spinel away, making room for Pearl to then come in! The rest is the same. Spinel clings to Pearl when Bis is bubbled away.

SEASON 4

Know Your Fusion

Garnet + Spinel fusion as well? Just for a moment? Pearl could take Sardonyx’s place while she’s gone. Spins would likely point out that she’s never fused with Garnet before, and since we’re meetin’ new fusions anyways, could it be cool to add one more to the roster?

Think more about the idea before declaring it canon. Don’t take away from characters, remember? This might not fit into 11 minutes, or maybe make it double length? Two parter? Think about it.

Return to Mask Island

After “Future Boy Zoltron”, Spinel tells Steven she’s convinced Lapis to hang out with them for a day! Steven decides to take the party to Mask Island, since it’s such a pretty place and would be good for unwinding. Lapis is nervous, since the last time she was here, she was Malachite. Whoops. Steven and Spinel both insist this will be good for her, since she wants to get over her past trauma of being fused with Jasper, and balancing some good memories into the mix of bad will do her some good! Amethyst agrees, so Lapis gives in. Steven tells her that fusion feels amazing, but only with the right people. They make camp, and montage of them having fun and unwinding. Show something slinking in the water.

Eventually, Steven breaks out the s’mores supplies. He and Amethyst really start talking, and they don’t really notice when Lapis and Spinel get up. They run out of crackers, and Amethyst volunteers to get more, only to then notice that half their party is gone. Steven will find them, and Ames runs off.

Four Gems and a Baby

Steven was intended to be Spinel’s new Best Friend so she thinks of him as a fellow Spinel playing a game with them at the moment. Like Ames said, being a baby was fun, so this must be going somewhere. Rose said he was gonna be a friend. So that’s what he was.

Gem Heist

Spinel becomes mute: the misadventure/near shattering :)

That Will Be All

She’s FIIIIIIINE…

Ruby Round-Up

Mission: Find and Locate All Ruby Guards

After “Storm in the Room.” Everyone heads back out into space to see if we can’t find the Rubies. We are able to find Army, Leggy, and Doc before Doc calls the cops on us and a Homeworld ship shows up. We find out more about Gem technology, namely that you can only go a straight line while using the gravity engine, so in theory, the other ship can track them. They need a safe place to hide. Spinel takes over the controls, and she takes them to the solar system with the Garden in it.

The whole time, Army and Doc don’t make it easy to escape. They keep making this harder for them to drive, having broken many parts of the ship in an effort to get it to stall, and the other gems have to leave Spins alone to drive while they make sure the three Rubies don’t cause any more trouble.

They hide the ship behind one of the smaller planets/moons floating there, shutting off the engine to help prevent being tracked/seen. The other ship zips right on past, missing them entierly. They power the ship back on, and land on the centerpiece.

The episode ends with everyone stepping out, and Spinel introducing them to the Garden.

Right Where You Left It

We visit one of the gem’s childhood homes…

Spinel takes on the grand tour of the garden, hoping to find parts and pieces to fix up the Roaming Eye. The three Rubies are put in time-out. We see the inside of the room, where Pink’s Biopoison Injector awaits, along with a line of rejuvenators. We also meet the cautious Coral and the untrustful Amber. Coral is in charge of all the plants, whereas Amber is in charge of making sure the buildings don’t collapse, but they only are supposed to be at work when they’re called. No one has called for thousands of years, and they’re too scared to go investigate. Spinel left a while ago, too, giving them zero reason to go out there. If an elite saw them, they could risk being shattered since no one wants them anymore. Where do useless gems go?

The two wind up telling them about the biopoison, and how it was made just for this garden when Pink finally decided she was done with it forever. The rejuvenators were meant to reset a gem, but Pink decommissioned them after a single use. Yellow has more.

They ask Spinel if she’s back to stay, also where is Pink Diamond? This is where we find out Spins and Pearl belonged to Pink. She’s gone, Spins says, and no, she’s not staying here. Do they want to go with them to Earth? After some thought Coral and Amber decide no- the threat of shattering is really scary, and they can’t fight back. They don’t even have gem weapons. Spinel tells them that she didn’t either, until her friend made her one! She pulls out her scythe. They could come along, too. The Earth is a beautiful place. They agree reluctantly, but then state that they don’t want to be a part of anything; if Earth is a place to be free, then they want to explore, maybe fix up or tidy up some Gem ruins there. Fighting is not an option, and they’re tired of staying in one spot.

The others agree, and Spinel apologizes for not paying them more attention when they were here together. She has a history of only focusing on what she wants to focus on, and ignores everything else. All is forgiven, and it’s back to Earth we go now that the ship is prepared.

The three Rubies manage to escape and warp back to Homeworld...

Making Up

Time to be frens with Connie. Finally. Took ya long enough.

He disappears after breakfast, promising to find her later. Of course, he'd wished her a quiet, heartfelt happy birthday first thing this morning, but that was the extent of any celebrations. He knows how embarrassing it feels when all eyes in the dining room are pinned on you--Mother doesn't deserve that!

Later ends up being nearly lunchtime. Assistant professor life doesn't stop merely for his mom's birthday. Tests need distributing, questions need answering, and adjusted schedules must be cleared.

His smile never falters through it all. Anticipation lends a quickness to his limbs, sprinting for his room the moment he's free of responsibilities. Arms full, he juggles his gifts on the way to the staff room.

"Mom!" Laslow calls, peering around the bouquet of red carnations. "Sorry I took long." He sets his bounty down on a nearby table, shaking out his tired arms with a sheepish glance at the boxes.

He has years' worth of missed birthdays to make up for. Subconsciously, he beings playing with an earring. "Happy birthday! They're a bunch of little trinkets, really. Stuff that reminded me of you." [The boxes contain: a carved figurine of a dancer mid-jump, a new silver headband, some knock-off candy that passes a replacement for the real thing in Ferox, and a handful of new coins for her dancer's outfit.]

One box in particular catches his attention. He grabs it, holding it out with a flourish. "Here, open this one first!" The pink bow wobbles but stays upright.

Two tickets for a traveling musical theater show rest inside. "Everyone I've asked loved it!"

Olivia didn't know what to make with her time here.

She knows that the monastery did, in fact, take the art of dancing pretty seriously. So she busies herself with trying to figure out a new routine—one with her own individual insight and experience to share with the rest of the instructors. One of them in particular, used to be a famous Songstress of the Adrestian Empire- and the dancer felt that there was no way that Manuela Casagranda was past her prime. She was a gorgeous woman, confident and brave enough to use her voice.

Oh, how nice would it be to use her own voice too.

And suddenly, she took a whiff of the color red.

Her lips raised upon the welcomed gift by the door: her precious baby boy. " You didn't have to get me anything Inigo... as ever, you are always too sweet." Just like his father.

She tries to help him handle all these bounties he's gathered all these years- by helping Inigo place them down upon the table. "Oh, my sweet, you shouldn't have."

Had there been roaming red haired lions wandering around, they would perhaps misinterpret the connection of the two situations. However, this wasn't a man just giving gifts to a dazzling woman- he was paying homage to his own mother.

Her eyes are quick to be filled to the brim with tears. There were so many gifts laid out for her upon the table. Too many blessings being bestowed to a mother who didn't actually give birth to him in this time line- but had upon another. Olivia takes her time to process these emotions and expresses her joy for the long awaited return of her greatest treasure.

She struggles to speak in words, but is able to remain present to receive. Opening the box slowly while sniffling- Olivia is ever grateful to become someone who is so loved. This was more than winning a prized lot in life. And even more than just a ticket stub to a show. This was living.

" Oh, Inigo...!" She quickly embraced her stellar star. "Thank you! "

#(( aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! thank you!!!!! thank you!! this was so cute ))#(( queued ))#laslow #(( the best son in the whole world aaaaaaaaaaaaaAA!! ))

Slashing! I just woke up and I have miraculously remembered the dream I had; and I must share with you! It's kinda sad, but also feel-good too? Like in a 'it's us versus the world, and I'm happy that you're the one with me' way.

Alright, so you have that headcannon that Greasy lived on the streets for a while, right? Well, in my dream, this was during that time. At least from what I can tell. Y/N (I say Y/N, but I genuinely don't remember who it was. I don't think it was me, I can't remember if it was you. It could have even been Shiny or one of the other weasels for all I know. So I'm going with self insert) and Greasy are sitting together, in an alley, taking shelter from the rain. I can't remember if they had cover, but I remember that they used a cardboard box as like an arm rest/table between them or something.

Anyways, these two are chatting. About what, I can't remember. But I remember that there was some dry laughter (the kind that you hear and you just know that they're not really happy, they're just trying to find some humor in this messed up situation they're in), before they started talking about deep stuff. Considering the setting, my guess is that they were opening up with each other and/or talking about the lessons and philosophy they've learned in life because of their situation. Which, at least in Greasy's case, it'd probably be something like 'kill or be killed'? Or some other saying that means that in order to survive, you have to use others.

The odd thing about this dream was that I distinctly remember Greasy smoking in the dream too. Not as bad as Wheezy, but I remember so vividly him pulling out a pack, taking one (just one. Wheezy, take notes) cig out, and lighting it up. So I guess my brain thinks younger Greasy smoked XD but I also remember him drinking from a beer bottle at the same time? Not with the smoke, I mean like I remember the same exact scene the dream camera focused on Greasy pulling out the cigarettes, but he instead takes a swig from the bottle, if that makes sense? So idk, maybe my brain realized this wasn't Wheezy, and replaced the cigarettes with alcohol in the middle of the dream XD

But yeah, that was my dream. Greasy and Y/N taking shelter in an alley while talking about life. Idk if this is purely platonic or there was a romance, but either way, I hope you get a kick out if reading this ^^

That sounds like a kinda nice dream actually!! Even during that time ):): (Also by the way I am SHOOK that you took in my background headcanons so deeply that they ended up I your SUBCONSCIOUS!??? WHAT? AHHHHHHHHHH in a good way) Like, 'it's us versus the world, and I'm happy that you're the one with me'- ?? That's soooo sweet 💚💚💚💚💚 Good stuff good stuff good stuff!!

And 'maybe my brain realised this wasn't Wheezy' made me laugh XDD I'm imagining the little men in your brain like this:

Captain Brain: Okay! We need a dream! What are those little creatures she likes?? Lieutenant Memory: The Toon Patrol, sir?? They're weasels. Captain Brain: YES! Those! Okay, chuck one o' those in. The uh- pink one?? Ehh nah not today. How about the green one? Yeah!, put him. The Officer at the Controls: Yessir, you got it. Captain Brain: OH! Make give him a cigerette! They smoke, don't they? I remember they smoke. Lieutenant Memory: Oh yeah, but- Captain Brain: Sh sh sh, I got this. Okay! What next?- Oh lets put 'em in that lovely friends excellent origin headcanon- Lieutenant Memory: Alright alright... but SIR- Captain Brain: I'M BUSY, LIEUTENENT. ~ Several Moments Later ~ Lieutenant Memory: *Writes something on white board very angrily as the Captain wouldn't listen to them* *Shoves it in front of the Captains face, slamming in on the table in front of them* Captain Brain: What?- what?- what is it Lieu- Captain Brain: ... wait that one's not Wheezy?! Lieutenant: WHEEZY'S BLUE Captain Brain: WHAT!? Lieutenent Brain: He w h e e z e s. Because he s m o k e s, sir! Officer at the Controls: *Sighs. This job is not worth the college credit* I'll just stick a beer in his hand and hope she didn't notice...

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing!! I absolutely love hearing about peoples dreams, especially when they were excited about it!! And having Toon Patrol dream is always amazing and fun XD Even with a good helping of angst! XD 😅 I hope you woke up with good vibes though ^^

#(this is definitely inspired by a kallmekris skit by the wayyyy XDDD

This is for the amazing @sayuricorner who is an absolute angel. Thank you for being so patient with me!! 😘 I would like to formally apologize for taking so long!

She asked me to write a crossover fic of ML and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. This chapter is more of an intro than anything else, the exciting stuff is (hopefully) coming soon though!!

Chapter 3

The flight from Paris to Japan took about twelve and a half hours. Marinette would love to say that she was so excited that she didn't mind the flight but unfortunately that was far from true. Don't get her wrong, she was very excited but as she discovered, she HATES flying. The seats were narrow and the cabin stuffy. The people were loud most of the time and she ended up sitting next to a man who smelled of week old garlic. They had also stumbled across several turbulences, all of which made her sick to her stomach. All in all, her flight had not been a wonderful experience. Tikki, who had been trapped within her purse the entire time, seemed to agree with her wholeheartedly.

Needless to say, she was very glad to exit the plane and feel the solid ground under her feet as well as the cool evening air on her face. The slight breeze felt nice after being stuck in that stuffy cabin for so long. Marinette spent another twenty minutes in baggage claim waiting for her bags to come through. She couldn't deny that she began to panic wondering what would have happened if they had lost her bags. She had kept the miracle box with her as a carry on so nothing irreplaceable would have been lost but that still didn't mean she wanted to replace these things. Her worries, however, had been unfounded and the pale pink suitcases had slowly begun to trickle in.

As this was a bordering school and she would be staying here for a while, she had brought several bags, which made it awkward to maneuver through the airport. Her parent where going to be shipping several items to her, items that she was too nervous to bring on the plane for fear of losing them, but she was still carrying a numerous amount of baggage. She was convinced that Chloe and her Maman had packed enough clothes to clothe a small army. If that army was made of five foot girls that is. Which, despite one might think, Marinette had it on good authority that they were very feisty and good in a fight.

At the exit there was a man, dressed in a suit and tie , holding a sign that had her name written across the front in big letters. The sight caught Marinette off guard. She had been prepared to call a taxi. Hesitantly, Marinette approached the man.

"Ms. Dupain- Cheng I presume?" The man questioned in a gentle yet sophisticated voice. Marinette nodded nervously but the man smiled, " It is a pleasure to meet you, I am here to escort you to Speedwagon Academy," Without a further word he took some of her bags in his arms and began to make his way towards a grey minivan that clashed comically with his pristine suit and tie.

Once all of her bags had been packed into the trunk of the car, Marinette buckled herself in and prepared for another long ride. The airport was about thirty minutes from Speedwagon Academy which, admittedly, wasn't that long in the grand scheme of things but after her long ,and honestly exhausting flight, every minute felt like an eternity. On the bright side, the car ride gave her time to think about the things that were coming. It gave her a time to process everything that was going on in a way that she couldn't on the plane.

Marinette was so ready for a fresh start. She was so excited to finally be herself again. There was only one problem: Marinette didn't know who she was anymore. She had been quiet and compliant for so long that she didn't know how to be anything else anymore. It was like the outgoing girl who could make friends without even trying, the bubbly girl everyone adored, the girl filled with passion and excitement, it was like that girl was gone. And Marinette wanted her back so badly. She desperately wanted to be that girl again. She hated that she had allowed her classmates and people like Lila to so thoroughly destroy her confidence. But as Tikki reminded her time and time again, from destruction could only come creation. Her self confidence might be destroyed now, but that didn't mean she couldn't rebuild it. Marinette wasn't under the illusion that it would be easy, but that thought at least gave her hope. It made her excited for the future and what it held.

Marinette was amazed that by the time they arrived at Speedwagon Academy, she hadn't drifted off. The combination of the warm car with its soothing vibrations and the soft calming music that had played through the speakers paired with her killer jet lag, was a recipe for a nap. A well deserved one, she might add. It was a statement to her excitement, and maybe her nerves, that she remained fully awake.

Upon exiting the car, Marinette couldn't help but take a moment and stare in awe. The campus, or what she could see of it, was gorgeous. The pictures she had seen online didn't even begin to compare to the real thing. The first thing that caught her eye was the sprawling gardens with all different types of flowers and trees. Marinette couldn't imagine how beautiful it would look in the mornings as light began to filter through the trees giving that glowing effect. She couldn't wait to show Tikki the gardens, she could only imagine the kwami's face when she saw it. The gardens weren't the only thing beautiful about the campus though. No, Marinette allowed herself another moment just to marvel at the incredible architecture of the main building. It was a unique style that she couldn't quite place but nonetheless adored. Everything about it screamed creativity and it filled her with a deep passion for creation she hadn't felt in a long time.

Her thoughts and musings were interrupted when a man, coming from the main building, approached her.

"Welcome Ms.Marinette, my name is Jonathan Joestar. I am the Headmaster here at Speed Wagon Academy," Headmaster Joestar said, A gentle smile on his face. The headmaster was a tall man, incredibly so, with brown hair and equally brown eyes. He wore a white collared shirt and a black tie with a matching jacket over top.

"It's nice to meet you Headmaster," Marinette replied, desperately trying to keep the nerves out of her voice. Based on the soft look on his face, she didn't this she succeeded.

"And you, Ms.Marinette. I must say, you have quite the impressive resume," Marinette blushed at his words.

"Thank you sir." He smiled again and Marinette found herself smiling back as some of her nerves melted away. His happy and fairly calm demeanor was catching.

"If you will follow me, Ms.Marinette I will show you to your dorm," He turned and motioned for her to follow. Marinette looked back, intending to grab her bags but finding that at some point since her arrival they had been moved, presumably to her dorm, " You will be rooming with a girl by the name of Trish Una. I believe the two of you will get along just fine. She, if memory serves me correctly, is also a fan of fashion design, " Marinette perked up when she heard that. She had never really had anyone to truly share her hobby with, somebody who truly understood it.

It didn't take long to make it to the girls dormitories, which was on the other end of the schools campus from the entrance. Marinette, not having anything better to do, had studied the map on the plane and now she was glad she did. There was a very high likelihood of her getting lost if left to her own devices. She had, unfortunately, inherited her mother's sense of direction which had ked to some numerous situations in the past. Namely the summer vacation of 2019. Marinette shivered as she remembered it and the disasterous events that followed her mother gaining possession of the map.

Headmaster Joestar took a key and unlocked the entrance door to the dormitory. He held the door open and gestured for her to enter.

" Normally you will use you student ID to get in and out of this building. I believe you will be able to pick it up in the morning," The headmaster explained. Marinette nodded, feeling at a loss for words as she took in her surroundings. comfortable looking couches and chairs lined the walls in the large room, A shelf in the corner was stalked to the brim with board games, and a pool table sat off to the right side. On depths far left and right of the room their was a staircase that led towards the other floors. Across from the entry was an office that probably belonged to the hall director. Seeing her look of wonder the Headmaster continued,

"When classes have finished, you are free to spend your time however you like, including here. I believe there is also a game room and several study rooms scattered throughout the first floor. Everyone is required to be in their dorms by 10:00pm every week night. On weekends that is extended to 11:00pm," That explained why the common space, was completely devoid of people. Now your dorm is on the second floor, room 22b," He handed her a similar key to what he had been using earlier except this one had her room number carved at the top.

"Thank you headmaster," Marinette said politely as she excepted the key.

"Of course, if you need anything do not hesitate to let me know have a wonderful night Ms.Marinette," And with one final smile, he was gone. Marinette took a deep breath and began to walk up the stairs to her dorm. Her bags were sitting outside the door when she arrived, having already been delivered while she was talking to the head master.

With no small amount of difficulty, mostly do to her shaking hands, Marinette shoved down her anxiety and unlocked the door to her new home.

The sight that greeted her was one that made her feel incredibly safe and at home. One side of the dorm, the one currently being lived in, was in the same state of organized chaos that Marinette lived in. She was incredibly happy that her roommate wasn't one of those people that couldn't handle messes being around.

The girl in question, the girl she would be sharing a room with for the remainder of the year was sitting in the center of her bed obviously studying. Her pink hair had been pulled away from her face, putting her blue eyes on full display. She wore a sunflower covered T-shirt and a pair of tight skinny jeans. She held herself in a way that reminded Marinette a lot of Chloe. She seemed one to put up a front of being arrogant and indifferent but deep down they were incredibly loyal and a huge softy.

"Oh my gosh, you're tiny," were the first words out of her mouth. Despite her nervousness, A small laugh made it past Marinette's lips. The awkward tension in the room melted away after that and Marinette quickly lost track of time. They talked well into the night about their shared love of fashion and Marinette would be lying if she said she didn't love it. Trish was so incredibly easy to talk to. Marinette felt free to say whatever she wanted to say without fear that Trish would judge her. That wasn't to say she wasn't still hesitant, she was, but her nervousness had all but dissipated.

As the night eventually drew to a close a both of them gave in to th call of sleep, Marinette was filled with an overwhelming sense of peace that she had made the right decision and hope for what the future would bring.

___________________________________________________________

Marinette awoke the next day feeling anxious once again. The prospect of meeting Trish's friends terrified her. It scared her probably more than the thought of attending her classes for the first time. She knew that she was intelligent and so she wasnt as nervous about her ability to make good gradea. Making good friends however, was not and had never been her strong suit. The anxiety was heightened by the fact that she wanted this to work out so badly. She desperately wanted to start new, to explore who she was and rediscover herself. She was tired of being pushed to the side and left alone. She craved some form of companionship.

As they walked through the halls, Marinette couldn't help but notice how much taller people here were than her. It seemed odd to her that a school would have this many people above six foot.

Trish and Marinette passed into the courtyard not far from one of the incredible gardens she had noticed the night before. Gardens which were just as pretty in the morning sun as she had imagined them to be. The pair walked towards the edge of the courtyard, towards a particularly large tree that was surrounded by four people. The closer they got to the group, the mire nervous Marinette felt. By the time they were face to face with them Marinette was sure that her heart would beat out of her chest and that her palms were sweaty enough to form puddles. Trish sent Marinette an easy smile as she began to introduce the group, pointing to each person to indicate them.

"Marinette, I would like you to officially meet my friends: Guido Mista, Pannacotta Fugo, Narancia Ghirga and Giorno Giovanna." Once again, keeping with the trend, all of then were incredibly tall. Seriously, what were they feeding these people? Back in Paris, she had been considered short but their had at least been some people who were close to her in height.

"Guido, how many times to I have to tell you how hideous you smell before you get rid of that stupid calone?" Trish asked, wrinkling her nose. The boy, Guirdo, was in fact wearing a strong smelling calone that while it didn't smell terrible, definitely gave Marinette the beginnings of a headache. Other than that, he gave off a very calming and easy going aura that reminded Marinette a lot of Luka. He wore tight leather pants and a blue turtle neck with a grid pattern and he was wearing a beany that covered the majority of his hair.

Pannacotta had platinum blond hair that had been spiked up. He had bangs that hung low on his forehead reaching down towards his reddish brown eyes. His face was unreadable and his serious look made her uncomfortable. She wasn't sure what to make of him yet. She could tell that he wasn't a danger to her but that didn't really make her feel any better. The daunting image was enhanced by his crisp, perfect looking uniform.

Narancia had jet black hair and green eyes. He had a happy, almost child like air about him that set Marinette at ease. Despite still being tall, he seemed to be the smaller of the group. He wore the same uniform the rest of them did but he had multiple wrist bands decorating his wrists. Some of them had words on them, others did not.

Finally, the last person in the group, was Giorno. Giorno had long blond hair, the way it was pulled back in did little to tame his curls. He was shorter than most of the others, yet still incredibly tall, and had a slim,muscular build. His build was enhanced by the coat of his uniform and Marinette couldn't help but notice the ladybug pin on his breast pocket.

Marinette felt a familiar, completely unwanted, little flutter in her stomach as she took in his intense greenish blue eyes and- Oh great, she had a type. She shoved the feeling down as far as she possibly could, she refused to let any romantic feeling come between her and these new budding friendships.

___________________________________________________________

Here is the third chapter !!!! So this took me an insanely long amount if time to finish and I am so sorry for that!!!! to make up for it here is a longer chapter! So I'm going to be completely honest and say I one hundred percent projected on Marinette for the entire chapter. I also apologize because I'm not very good at writing introductions but let me know how I did!! I am going to attempt to get the next chapter out sooner rather than later!!

So the document where I kept my tag list got deleted so if you would please fill this out So i know what you want to be tagged in, that would be great!!

#jojos bizarre adventure #trish una #marinette dupain cheng #class salt #miraculous ladybug #writing is hard #poor mari #Poor Marinette #marinette deserves better #Marinette gets a hug #i tried #i'm so sorry

Here's some notes I took when replaying both games:

• The school where Eugene and everyone else goes is located uptown

• Joy, Oliver and Luke know a person named Emerson. Luke's friends with them.

• Finley and Tatum switch between nicknames, but Finley mostly refers to Eugene as Hoodie, Tatum – Glasses.

• There's a bell above the office door.

• Apparently even mortals' ghosts can be torn to pieces.

• Wait, THEY CAN BUY FURNITURE???

• Wait, so River knows that Boss is emotionally unstable and jokes about it? Or am I stupid?? And she's also serious about it???

• I GOT IT!!! Mortals' ghosts are bright colors, while regular ghosts are dark colors. Like blue, yellow, pink, ect and purple, vindigo and red??? You get the point.

• Other side is also referred to as "next world"

• Boss doesn't like being interrupted (same).

• No one knows what happens when you cross over.

• So, despite being "against" the idea of taking care of a mortal, Boss kept Eugene.

• Monsters weren't previously hiding in dreams. That started happening after the office was opened.

• Joan is against the idea of exploiting kids (ofc she is).

• Boss called Eugene "junior", while River – "newbie"

• Can ghosts make themselves visible to mortals???

• Eugene (at least younger) is very dramatic

• Hayden said something about shamans. That's a little sus of you, Mr. Boss.

• I assume Hayden was constantly tired when he was a living boy because of his sickness.

• When excited, Hayden starts rumbling (same).

• Cats see ghosts.

• All new ghosts have to learn how to fly and they might feel sick doing some things.

• When in a dream ghosts can feel what the dreamer feels.

• Both Charlie and Eugene consider Hayden smart.

• Monsters can consume humans and take their memories (not only humans).

• The dreams ghosts create can be cleaned.

• Linda has a dreamcatcher like me!!!

• Sean hides whenever Boss is nearby.

• An alive mortal's ghost is otherwise called a spirit and a soul.

• Boss' type of humor is really just cannibalism. And honestly? Slay dude.

• Joy and Oliver won't step on Luke's side if he bullies someone for no reason, even tho they're friends.

• Linda had trouble sleeping and eating.

• It's harder for ghosts to move during the day.

• River was looking after Eugene since the very beginning.

• Apparently there isn't that many ghosts who didn't become monsters.

• And all of the ghost who didn't become monsters are pretty close.

• Eugene used to stutter when he felt insecure.

• Charlie haunted Oliver before.

• Charlie only actually harmed other ghosts.

• I WAS RIGHT??? BOSS DOES WEAR HEELS???

• My guy can't sit straight (same).

• Finley and Tatum were probably starved by their asshole of a father. And also locked in the house.

• Finley and Tatum go to school.

• Ghosts can change their bodies, such as: multiplying their body parts or stretching them.

• Eugene got a wound from the fight with Jack.

• He also probably had to get new glasses.

• His main problem is thinking he's not good enough and that's why he hates himself.

• With the whole thing going down (the fight with Jack), Boss was watching from the beginning.

• Charlie is referred to with he/she/it/they pronouns

• Joan didn't destroy the scissors.

• Ghosts can't lie?

• The soul is made up of memories, emotions, beliefs. Basically your inner self.

• They let out Charlie to protect Eugene (and also to replace River)

• The things in mortal world react to ghosts' actions.

• You become a monster after losing your mind.

• Boss and River had a bit of a fight at the beginning.

• River has gone crazy. In all ways.

• There are 3 horror stories at the station. One of them is Charlie.

• Seems like Boss' relationship with River only got worse over time.

• So it seems like Joan figured out the truth at the very beginning.

• Hayden's 6.

• Black rope does magic stuff. River probably got it from our favourite shaman.

• DO ALL OF THEM KNOW ABOUT THE PLAYER???

• River and Hayden taught Eugene how to fly.

• Charlie seems to be the only one who swears.

• Charlie said something about a spot on her foot.

• Bill might be disabled.

• Mike doesn't have a dad, has younger siblings and is poor (or maybe Charlie's family is just wealthier??)

• Charlie is a classic example of the "they have it worse" mentality.

• Joan's second daughter is named Dorothy.

• River somehow felt Brian's ghost being born trough her hair

• It's easier to see a ghost's memory if they're being emotional.

• Seems like while being alive River was single.

• River used to wear earrings

• Joy owns a cafe I think? And it's also near the police station.

• In Boss' memory, at the beginning, seems like everyone is avoiding even just looking/standing near him.

• Boss was basically a sacrifice to stop the "strange occurrences"

• The lady is his mom (mommy issues confirmed).

• So he did just leave the office and that's it.

#some of them are really obvious. I know that. I just wrote them so that I can remember all of it later if needed #won't put in the main tag until I'm confident enough in this

Soooo I made some changes to the Gods. There are only some changes and I change them because I took some inspiration from my classmates who are really inspired by them.

God of Luceras | Andrea

Inspired by me lol. I just replace some stuff and change the colors to be a bit lighter? Also, change their color to fit their powers or fav colors or something. I change Andrea's hair highlight to be my main oc's hair highlight color. "But wouldn't the peeps find out Andrea's identity?" Well, my ocs haven't seen her true form except for the other Gods. The chain or gem thing or something is attached to the ribbon on the back in case you guys are confused btw.

Fun Fact: She disguised herself as a teenage girl because she wants to experience youth again.

God of Flowers | Kai

He cute now 😳 ehe. Inspired by Venti from Genshin Impact and also inspired by meh crush who is also my classmate. Gave him more flowers and match some stuff with Andrea. (Light red or pink color scheme and the shoulder thing). Put a green hair highlight on him. I could have just left it black because his fav color is black soooo... His height and personality are inspired by him and his relationship with Andrea is inspired by mah dream to be best friends with him.

Fun Fact: He lets her sister and Andrea braid his hair.

God of Night | Zuhr

Inspired by my ex-crush who is also my classmate lmao. I only did little changes like the hair highlight. (I made it magenta because his fav color is magenta). And I think maybe some color scheme changes. His color scheme is inspired by him because I see him wear blue, gray, black, and white. The opposite personality (?) He's serious but the person from who I took inspiration doesn't care about the world ehe.

Fun Fact: He and Andrea have mixed feelings for each other.

Goddess of Day | Vesper

Inspired by my old main oc who is an angel and meh classmate. If you scroll down to my posts my old main oc is an angel and her final form looks somewhat like Vesper (And Andrea too). I gave her a flower thing because of lore. Her long hair is inspired by mah classmate and mah classmate's personality is inspired by her color scheme. Her personality reminds me of the sun so I gave her yellow and her title too. She has four wings btw. (Two on her head and two on her back).

Fun Fact: She and Zuhr are rivals because of one argument.

Goddess of Pages | Ethelind

Ethelind is inspired by mah classmate. Her looks and IQ are inspired by my classmate. My classmate is smart so I took inspiration from that. I gave her a red scarf and I think that's all of the changes. I chose Goddess of Pages because this one time we were studying for the exam I saw her take out a lot of pages about the lessons so yeah I took inspiration from that. Her personality is also inspired by her.

Fun Fact: She made a school with Andrea and made the history of Luceras in one book which she is holding right now.

Goddess of Flowers | Flora

Flora is not fully God (Demigod) but I decided to join her here and yep made a lot of changes to Flora. I put a lot of flower accessories on her to match her title. She is not inspired by anyone because I just made an outfit that has a lot of flowers and decided to make an oc on that outfit. The chain or gem thing on the back is connected to the flower sleeves and puts a see-through scarf around her. And gave her a hat with flower ruffles around it. Also, Demigods' pupils are also star-shaped but black. (Ahem Haru). She is a Demigod because Kai and Flora's mom is a mortal and their dad is a God. (The God of Spring, he's ded btw).

Fun Fact: The Gods (Except for Andrea and Kai) don't know her.

---------------------------------

That's all in this post. I decided to separate the Gods in a different gacha mod because the citizens of Luceras which are my ocs can't see them. Put some lore in here too 👀💅

I'm slowly going back from posting. I should come back though because I don't want my account to be ded.

survey #183

Do you own a pocketknife, or any other kind of multi-tool? No.

What did your mother study at university? Social work. She graduated at ~60 and I'm so proud of her determination. Shatters my heart that she hasn't been able to use her degree though; due to Covid and her cancer, she never really got the chance to intern anywhere and she hates it so much.

What was the last thing you took a video of? That's a good question.

What are some of your least favorite foods? Brussel sprouts, asparagus, pulled pork & general southern barbecue (this does not include burgers and hot dogs, those I love), beans, fried chicken, carrots, celery, and A LOT more, I am so picky it's not even fucking funny. It's mostly texture stuff. The list would probably be the vast majority of food.

How old were you when you learned how to drive? Somewhere around 17? At least, that's when I took driver's ed. I never got my license and even my permit is expired by years.

Have you ever used a public pay phone? I don't believe so.

Do you know what the most common bird is in your area? Not really, no, but crows, robins, sparrows, bluejays, cardinals, and doves are a few that come to mind immediately.

How many teeth have you had extracted? Two wisdom teeth, both within the past year. They're thankfully the only ones I have.

What's a Halloween movie that you enjoy? Hocus Pocus is my favorite.

Would you ever walk a runway if given the opportunity? No, I don't want people focusing on me.

Would you say you're in a good place mentally? No; I am absolutely in a dip lately. I'm quite sure my body has stopped responding to my key mood stabilizer so I'm in the process of finding something else that works...

What's a popular candy that you do not like? Snickers, Tootsie Rolls, Mounds, Almond Joys, and Swedish Fish to name a few.

Do you bite your nails, cut them, or keep them long? So I actually have a habit of tearing them instead of either of these?? I really need to stop, because doing it often makes a tear too deep and will sometimes bleed, but it's a looooong-going habit.

Do you ever have to babysit? Not really, like I often go with my mom on Fridays to watch my niece (and other niece and nephew when school isn't going on), but I'm not the one taking care of her needs and stuff. I'm just there to interact.

Do you sing when alone? No, I barely sing at all.

Favorite pastel color? PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite thing cats do? THE HEART EYES. If you've got an affectionate cat, you know what I mean: it's just this way they look at you, eyes mostly closed, and it's the most loving expression I've ever seen from any animal. I am also a massive sucker for affectionate headbutts, like I just love how expressive they are of bonds.

Butterflies, or dragonflies? I love both, but I'm fonder of butterflies.

Favorite kind of candy bar? It's a specific kind of Reese's that I don't see often; think of a Hershey's bar, but turn the squares into Reese's. It is fucking divine.

Favorite childhood store? oh I was a TOTAL Toys-R-Us kid. I was so mad when our local one got replaced with another store lol

Do you dream a lot? Do you remember your dreams? More like I have nightmares a lot. It's rare that I remember details long after awakening, but the general gist is basically always me being in danger but unable to physically defend myself; I usually wake up screaming at somebody. I say fucking awful things in my sleep, things I've never even said irl and never WOULD say, and it's extremely, extremely upsetting.

Have you ever lucid dreamed? I have once and only once and that shit between me and god lmfao

Have you ever intentionally killed an animal for fun? hi no I hope there's a special place in hell for a person like this

Did the person you lost your virginity to appreciate it? Well I haven't yet, but whenever it does happen I'm sure he'll cherish that I trust him enough for that. He knows I was abstinent most of my life.

What character trait are you most ashamed of? I am VERY impulsive, especially when upset. I've gotten better about it, but I've certainly said shit in the heat of the moment I wish I hadn't.

Do you prefer waffles or pancakes? Most of my life I strongly preferred pancakes, but I'm actually more into waffles now.

Are you craving anything right now? Yes, it's been a hot damn minute since I've had a soda and I am SUFFERING, like it's pathetic.

Are you content just blending in with the crowd? Yeah. I like to have some individuality about me, but I certainly don't want to stand out starkly.

Who is your celebrity crush? Richard Kruspe, yes he's very nearly my parents' age, and

If you had to choose a random color to dye your hair, what would you choose? Pastel pink. Hopefully one day... but my hair is so fucking reluctant to take color, especially pastels, apparently.

Do you like the color orange? Yeah, it's fine. I particularly like creamsicle-esque tints.

Have you ever shunned a family member or vice-versa? Yes, both ways.

Favorite shade of blue? Turquoise, probably.

Favorite soup? I haven't really had a soup I liked since I was a child.

Do you like mangoes? So I was pretty dumbfounded to discover I hate REAL mangoes, like they're so soft and mushy and it's disgusting, but I adore the flavor of mangoes, like it's my favorite type of juice.

What do you want most? A life where I'm truly happy. No real life will ever be without some sorrow, but I've got way too much in mine.

How is your mental health? Pretty damn poor. I'm absolutely back in a depression dip.

What are you thankful for currently? In this exact moment, notably my mom. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do whenever her life's up, and it's a fear I have daily, knowing that her cancer will eventually re-emerge and almost certainly be her cause of death.

What’s an unpopular opinion you have politically? I am not pure ACAB; I support reform, and much of it, however I just don't believe cops are inherently bad. A gross amount are, but I do believe good cops with good intentions exist.

Name a song that’s fun to sing along to. lmfao I enjoy "Bartender Song" by Rehab a lot for this

Who is tallest in your family? Uhhh... probably my brother Bobby?

Do you currently have a headache? No, thankfully. One thing not wrong.

What's the first thing you usually do when you get off work or school? When I used to be in school, I immediately did homework because I wanted it out of the way.

If you could be famous for anything, what would you choose to be famous for? Taking a really iconic photograph with a very obvious, strong message.

Who is your favorite YouTuber? Of all-time, Markiplier, but these days I've been most actively into Game Grumps and John Wolfe.

Who is the nicest person you’ve ever met? I dunno; I know a good deal of very nice people.

How about the meanest? That *I* personally know, my old friend Colleen. She was so fucking hateful and just generally unpleasant, and the kind of asshole who was a garbage individual to people in customer service, and over NO good reasons. The only reason I ever stayed friends with her so long was my own loneliness; at a time she was the only person outside family I ever, ever saw/did things with. That and I give people way too many damn chances, like our friendship broke apart many times prior to the final "okay I'm done."

What was the last thing you spoke to your mom about? I asked her what she went to Food Lion for.

When is the last time you felt appreciated for something you did? Ummm, I'm not totally sure at this very moment. Well actually probably yesterday; Girt came by after work and he had food ordered and I got it in for him, I know he appreciated that, even if it's just a small thing.

Are you the type of person who gets straight to the point? HAHAHA NO, I ramble like a MOTHERfucker, even when I totally don't intend it.

Do you enjoy playing board games? I actually really don't, they're just not very fun to me. Like some are okay, but I'm not having a great time. Way back when when Girt and I were just friends and he'd visit occasionally, we had a routine of generally playing board games, and honestly I don't miss that lmfao. I do enjoy Battleship though, and that's one we'd play a good amount.

Are there any movies you are wanting to see? THE FUCKING BARBIE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 ugh no one wants to go with me and it sucks SO hard, I am absofuckinglutely seeing it when it comes to televisions, though.

Do you feel uncomfortable when people you hardly know confide in you? Honestly not at all, I'm very open to anyone confiding in me if they feel safe to; you never know if that person has really been holding shit in, and they see something in you they haven't in others.

What’s something you’re proud of yourself for? Coming as far as I have in healing my legs.

Have you ever gone over 3 months without shaving/waxing your legs? It's been like... three years, dude. I keep them covered always though, just because of societal expectations; my hair is extremely dark and anyone getting even a glimpse of them mortifies me. I stopped as my body got so unhealthy that shaving them became so exhausting and challenging that I just. Couldn't keep up with maintaining them. I want laser hair removal on my legs one day.

Have you ever swam in a saltwater pool? Yes, the pool for physical therapy was saltwater.

Do you think anyone has given up on you? At least three people, probably more.

Have you ever been pregnant? No.

Have you taken anyone’s virginity? Obviously not, given an earlier question.

Have you ever made your boy/girlfriend choose between you and someone else? No.

Do you remember when some of the Walmarts had a McDonald’s in them? Well yes, our local one has exactly that.

What is one recipe that you would like to learn how to make? This upcoming Thanksgiving, I want Mom to teach me how to make the fresh bread she did last year; it was the best bread I'd ever tasted in my entire fucking life and I want to know it for my own future. I need to learn way, way more basic cooking, though...

Do you believe that Jesus will come back in your lifetime? He never is.

Were you afraid of heights as a child? No, but I am as an adult.

Have you ever had a lead role in a play? No. Well, I super faintly remember being Mary in a Sunday school thing, but it was just an in-class little thing. Gotta love teaching little girls about a mystically impregnated virgin pre-teen.

Do you have a chandelier in your home? No.

Are you a Jeffree Star fan? Or no? Yes, he's a public figure that to me has exhibited more growth than any other human I've been exposed to. There are behaviors I disagree with, but no person is all white or all black when it comes to being a moral or bad person.

Do you own a guitar? Specify. Which brand of guitar do you own? I no longer do; I had an electric guitar from a brand I can't recall (nothing impressive, very basic), but I sold it to a parts shop when I was trying to scrounge up money to afford my newest tattoo.

Are you a monogamous person? Or do you hate commitment? I personally am, but I have no problem with polygamous individuals, so long as they're open about this with their partners.

Who was the last person who was rude to you? My mom; a few days ago, something she did/said made me cry for a while.

Have you ever met someone in person that you first met online? Sara, yes. There are a number of other long-time online friends I want to physically meet one day.

Who do you know who is dyslexic? I feel like I remember hearing that my niece Aubree is? She's autistic and I at LEAST know Mom has said she exhibits traits of it.

Is weed legal in your state? No, NC is behind in the times in MANY regards.

What is something that you used to be ashamed of, but now you’re not? As a child, I became very embarrassed by my obsession with Pokemon because I was a girl and it was "weird;" it's because of this I never asked my mom for games and I never wanted anyone to see me explore the Pokemon website. As an adult though, I'm totally open about my love for the franchise, I know partially BECAUSE it's so loved nowadays. Even as a pre-k kid, my embarrassment reaction was SO insanely strong and I never, ever wanted people to see me as a weird girl. I still carry that behavior today, just with different stuff.

Have you ever held a newborn baby? Yes, when my youngest niece was born. I was seated though, I was way too scared to hold her otherwise.

Out of all your usernames for websites, which one is your favorite? Do you use it for more than one site? Ozzkat, it's the classic and what I use for the majority of places.

Have you ever spent the whole day (or multiple days) just looking up one thing on the internet (e.g., videos of your favorite band, how-to videos, quizzes, etc.)? hi i hyperfixate and do this shit regularly

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to be around your ex everyday? No. Well I mean, when Sara and I were still in contact, daily RP posts normally happened, but that was just a website.

Which condiment (ketchup, mustard, etc.) do you use the most of? Probably ketchup. It's funny, I hated ketchup as a kid.

Would you ever flirt with somebody in front of your parents? With my significant other, yes, so long as it wasn't too suggestive, 'cuz then it's just weird.

Have your parents ever questioned your virginity? I know my mom has. Dad probably assumes I'm not, but idk, I certainly don't talk about this with him.

How many of your friends play World of Warcraft? I have no idea; I have friends I know through the game, so obviously them, but I'm not sure if I have any "in my real life" friends who currently play. I know numerous people who have.

Is there a certain song you like to headbang to? No; surprisingly, headbanging has never been and probably never will be my thing. I don't like headaches.

Is there a garage or carport attached to your house? No.

So, I have this tree, okay?

Back in July or so, my great grandmother died after living for 101 years. It wasn't really a shock she'd passed, but what was a shock, was how long it took before she did. I know, that sounds harsh, right? It's not meant to. Her husband passed twelve years ago, her brother passed several years before then, so on and so forth. She's the only one of her immediate family to make it to 2022, except her daughter (my father's mother).

So, in her passing, she left a house full of stuff, and all her plants. Now, at the time, I was barely keeping myself, a christmas cactus, three pots of chives, and some odd bulb plant alive, I had no idea what to do with all her plants too. And my parents didn't want them, since my mom had her own plants to take care of. So my best friend (sister from another mother) took the big tree things and a couple other smaller plants that kinda got lost in the mix.

She was going to take this weird stick with scattered leaves, but something interesting happened when I watered them, since it took a week or so at my house before she could get them. I swear, I heard a soft male voice thanking me for the water I gave to this weird tree thing. I swear, I heard "thank you". So I vowed to keep him, the voice and the tree, safe.

After a failed Google search on slow data and a bad connection, Google claimed it was a Ficus tree, so I started calling it 'Ficcy'. When my data was restored and I tried again with the search (everyone kept saying he wasn't a Ficus), Google came back with the correct answer that he's a Hibiscus Tree, but the name Ficcy sort of stuck. I haven't heard the voice since moving him into the light in my living room window, but that's okay. I can tell Ficcy is happy without the voice telling me he's happy. He keeps growing more and bigger leaves, and every now and then, he'll pop up with a flower or three per branch. He's no longer just a weird stick with a few leaves, but a brilliant tree with reddish pink flowers all over the place.

And he's beautiful.

He's picked up a few yellow leaves for autumn, but he keeps growing in more and more to replace them. So much so, that he's getting to the point where he'll be ready for a trimming to make a bunch of baby Ficcy trees.

I even took to taking a few of the smaller ones to take macro shots with my phone.

But at the end of the day, when all is said and done, he's a beautiful tree that is happy where he is, and still blooming, even with a few yellow leaves popping up here and there. And those other trees my friend got? They're thrilled to be in a new home with someone who can care for them the way they wanted.

Oh, I forgot to mention, it's a great possibility that Ficcy is about 20ish years old. How wild is that?

My beloved Ficcy the Hibiscus Tree.

#not a ficus tree #photography #tree #flowers #plants #beloved tree #my baby boy #beautiful #hibiscus #hibiscus tree #house plants #inheritance tree #Ficcy has a facebook page.#Just follow the link in his name at the bottom of the post.

Hidan, Deidara, Sasori, and Kakuzu w/a teammate that has a ‘London Tipton’ personality.

Akatsuki Masterlist

TW: Slightly suggestive themes.

The Akatsuki gathered in the hideout that evening. They looked at their leader with anticipation.

Today they would be meeting their newest member.

Pain spoke.

“Everyone, we have a new member joining our organization. Her name is-“

“-MAKE WAYYYYY!” A cherry voice rang.

“Y/N L/N coming through!”

Everyone turned to see you, sitting on a mountain top of sparkly pink bags that were on a cart.

You had redesigned the Akatsuki cloak, cutting it into a two piece one shouldered top that revealed your cleavage and midriff along with a short skirt that had a hip slit.

You had redyed the cloud patterns from red to pink. The white outlines were replaced with a super sparkly ones to match your pink sparkly sandals.

Tobi was excitedly, pushing your said cart.

When you got close enough to the others, Tobi stopped pushing. You immediately hopped off the cart before waving with both hands at everyone.

“Sorry I’m lateeee!” You sang.

You turned to Pain who raised an eyebrow at you.

“I had to pack all of my designer clothes in all 30 of my bags!”

“You’re little butler came in handy though,” you say as you point your thumbs to Tobi who passed out from exhaustion.

The other Akatsuki members had mixed reactions.

Who was this girl and why was she casually parading the hideout, half dressed, and with so many bags?

“Y/N…” Pain says flatly.

“…This isn’t a vacation. Tobi is not your butler.”

“Well I needed someone to help me push my stuff. By the way, I need someone to help me unload my portable hot tub,” you stated.

A big smile spread on Hidan’s face. “Did that doll just say hot tub?”

“Shut. Up. Hidan,” Kakuzu hissed.

Pain scanned your skimpy attire with a raised eyebrow.

“Y/N…you’re clothes…it’s…”

“Do you like it, Daddy? I made it cute and added some SPARKLES!” You cheered as you did a little dance.

“I even made it match my nails!” You showed him your long nails that had pink Akatsuki clouds on it.

Now Pain was baffled. Did you just call him daddy?

You called him that because you saw him as your savior.

You real dad was a billionaire tycoon. You killed him for the pettiest reason as he took away your allowance.

This pissed off a lot of people including business partners and gangs.

You were left on your own and were labeled a missing nin.

That was when Pain found and recruited you into the Akatsuki.

Now that you had presented yourself in such a frivolous and flamboyant manner, Pain was starting to have second thoughts about bringing you into his cause.

Then again, there was your special power that he found to be useful.

He just had to wonder how you’d fair with the others as teammates.

You took notice of the other Akatsuki who just stared at you with a mixture of either confused, shocked, or bored expressions.

You tilted your head.

“Daddy? Who are all these poor people?”

Hidan:

To Hidan, you were the eye candy of the Akatsuki. A piece of fine ass and nothing more.

“You’re scythe would be a lot prettier with some sparkles, Hidan!”

“You’re necklace is so vintage! Is it designer?”

“Who’s Jashin? Ooh! Is he a royal prince from another country?”

Sure you may have said a lot of stupid things, but shit you were a lot more fun to talk to than Kakuzu!

Not to mention pretty to look at. It was nice to travel the road with a nice pair of tits.

He wanted to try his luck and get under that skirt of yours, but you just seemed too innocent.

The two of you were sitting together outside of the “stinky collection office” when you sparked an idea.

“Hey, when the old guys not looking, let’s swipe some of that money and go shopping!” You sang.

Hidan looked at you in bewilderment, “the hell? I’m not going shopping!”

You pouted cutely before hugging his arm. You then rub your breasts against it. “But who’s gonna tell me if my bikini looks nice on me? That it fits in all the right places?”

Hidan grinned at the sight as your soft breasts continued to tickle his arm. Bikini shopping? Oh he was sold!

You had stepped out of the fitting room at the store where Hidan was waiting for you.

A grin spread across his face as he takes in your figure that was wrapped nicely in the lacy red bra and thong bottom set.

A look of confusion spreads across your face as you stared at your outfit. “This bikini you picked out feels really weird…”

“Are you kidding, Dollface? Red lace is all the rage these days,” he says.

You smiled. “Then I’ll buy it!”

Hidan smirked, “good. Make sure you wear that around the hideout too. For me.”

The night didn’t stop there because you dragged Hidan to a bar.

You were a lot of fun and such a big spender.

The fun sadly came to an end when you and Hidan met an angry Kakuzu back at the hideout. His angry green eyes bore into you.

“I’LL KILL YOU!”

Kakuzu charged towards you but Hidan immediately blocked him with his scythe.

“GET OUT OF THE WAY HIDAN!” Kakuzu shouted.

“No way! I’m not letting you kill off our only source of eye candy around here!” Hidan barked back.

“Get em Hidan!” You cheered.

A fight soon broke out which ended with Hidan’s head getting chopped off. Finally letting off enough steam, Kakuzu stormed off.

You had rushed over to his side and picked up his head. Hidan gave you a lazy smile.

“You alright, gorgeous?”

You smiled at him, “my hero!”

You kissed his cheek, staining it with your hot pink designer lipstick.

Kakuzu:

Kakuzu disliked you since day one.

Hidan was insufferable enough.

Just why the hell were you a part of the Akatsuki anyway?

You were sitting on the couch with him and Hidan at the hideout. You stared at Kakuzu as he counted the money from his latest bounty collect.

“So how do you have so many hearts?” You asked him.

“I stole them from village elders…” he answered simply.

You blushed as you brought your hands to your chest.

“How romantic!!!”

Kakuzu twitched in annoyance as Hidan laughed.

“That’s not what I meant, you idiot…

“Do you think I’m pretty?” You asked him.

“No…” he says coldly.

You brought your manicured hands to your lips as you let out loud exaggerated gasp which makes him cringe.

You turn to Hidan and pout.

“Hidan do you think I’m pretty?”

He smirks as he brings his eyes to your boobs. “You’re banging gorgeous, Dollface!”

You squeal as you clap your hands together “YAY ME!”

“You’re both insufferable…” Kakuzu said.

You pouted as you glared at him. “Oh Cockatoo! Even with all that money you’re still POOR!”

Hidan threw his head back, laughing at the nickname. “Cockatoo?! Ha ha! Oh babe you crack me up!”

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes at you. “At least I can spell poor…”

You glared at him, “I can too spell poor!”

“P-O-“ you look up at the ceiling as you tilt your head in confusion. “Uh…”

Kakuzu rolled his eyes, “pathetic…”

“Who needs you Cockatoo?! You’re meaner than that two tails Juju-Key lady we fought!” You snapped.

”Jinchuriki, you idiot…” Kakuzu corrected.

”Shut up!” You hissed.

You then crawl over to Hidan’s lap to straddle him, earning a smirk from the silver haired Jashinist.

“Hidan! There’s a small village nearby! Let’s go out and sacrifice some more poor people to Prince Jashin!”

“Now you’re talking, gorgeous!” Hidan laughed as he snaked his hand to your ass.

You giggle and hug him wrapping your arms around his neck. “You’re the best Hidan!”

Hidan smirked over your shoulder before he glanced at your bare hip that was revealed under your skirt. He shamelessly lifted it to reveal what was underneath.

“You are too, Princess.” He grins.

Kakuzu glanced up from his money and stared at your bare ass that was revealed by the thong Hidan picked out for you.

His eyes met Hidan who gave him a knowing smirk.

Hidan was at least right about one thing: you were a piece of fine ass. He’ll try not to kill you as much.

“Ooh! I know!” You squealed as you jumped off of Hidan’s lap. You made an exaggerated stance and hand sign.

“Why don’t I show you guys my Kiki Genki thingy?”

An awkward silence fills the room as you gave the two men a big smile.

“You mean Kekkei Genkai?” Hidan asks.

Realization went through Kakuzu’s mind.

So that’s why Leader made you join the Akatsuki.

“I can make the sky all hot, blue, and sparkly!” You sang as you did a cute little dance.

Hidan laughed as Kakuzu raised an eyebrow.

So you could use lightening style. That piqued his interest.

“Look at this!” You cheered. You made random hand signs.

ZAP!

Lightening then shot out of nowhere…

…and onto Kakuzu’s money briefcase causing it to catch on fire.

Kakuzu widened his eyes. “NO!”

Hidan widened his eyes. He’d never imagined you’d be so powerful. “Whoa…”

You jumped up and squealed as you clapped your hands together. “Ooh! I made a fire! YAY ME!”

Kakuzu brought out his tendrils towards you.

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!”

You widened your eyes in fear. “Uh oh…”

Deidara:

Like Hidan, Deidara thought you were a pretty face.

Considering how you showed interest in his art, he was at least nicer to you than Kakuzu.

…If only you weren’t so ignorant though…

“How do you eat with those cute little hand mouth thingies?”

Cute?! His art wasn’t meant to be cute! His art was an explosion!

“Hey Deidara, can I feed your hand mouth thingies?”

“They’re not thingies! They’re tools to help perfect my art, hm!” He said you.

“Can you make me a pony?” You cooed.

Deidara looked at you like you were an idiot. “What?”

You pouted, “I want a pony! Now make me a pony!”

Deidara didn’t know how, but you managed to convince him to make you a giant clay pony.

Deidara smirked as he watched you squeal with delight at the sight.

“I’m glad someone appreciates my art, hm.”

You start doing some hand signs, “Now to give it some more SPARKLESSSS!”

Suddenly the clay pony was now covered in sparkles of different colors.

“I have a pretty pony! YAY ME!” You clapped your hands together.

Deidara stared at the studded pony in awe. “Wow…it’s…beautiful…”

In his eyes, you had an eye for art.

The two of you found yourselves spending time together, going on shopping trips or going on missions together.

“Deidara look at those poor people!” You say with a smile as you point down below to a house.

“Let’s blow them up!” You smiled.

Deidara smirked at you. “Why? Do you wanna blow up poor people so much?”

“Don’t ask questions! Just do it! Show these uncultured peasants what true art is!” You say.

Deidara laughed and happily complied with your suggestion.

He really did enjoy spending time with you.

Deidara appreciated it when you would go out your way to buy him nice things. Like designer hair ties and even designer clay.

“I had this designer clay imported from another country!” You say happily.

Deidara widened his eyes. “You did all this for me?! But how? And…why?”

Your eyes soften as you smile at him. “Cuz your my BFF, Dei Dei!” You cooed. You gave him a few air kisses on each ‘cheek’ before leaving.

Deidara never would have thought that anyone would go out of their way to help him perfect his art.

And did you just call him Dei Dei?

He felt his heartstrings tug a bit as the feeling of warmth filled him inside.

You may have not been the brightest, but you sure were the sweetest. Maybe Deidara was starting to feel something towards you?

“Deidara, why do you call Sasori your man? Are you two together?” You asked him suddenly when you were together at the hideout.

Deidara flushed as he widened his eyes at you. “What? No! I’m not-I mean i call everyone here ‘my man’.”

You let out an exaggerated gasp.

“Oh. My. GOD! Am I a man too?!”

Deidara sweatdropped, “No Y/N it’s just-“

You started undoing your top. “Deidara, I’m gonna need you to check! I need to know the truth!”

Deidara’s face got even redder as your cleavage started coming more into full view.

“Whoa! Y/N what are you-?!”

BOING!

Blood immediately shot out of Deidara’s nose as he fell back.

You screamed as his blood coated your bare breasts.

“Ewwww! Poor people blood!”

You stormed away from Deidara, leaving him in a dazed state as more blood leaked from his nose.

Sasori:

To say Sasori didn’t like you, was an understatement.

Between the dumb questions, your incompetence, and you constantly begging him to go shopping, he felt like he was going to burst into flames.

He was absolutely baffled when you told him that you thought that the Akatsuki were an elite fashion club that wore matching outfits.

He never would have thought he’d feel anger like this. Not since he’d became a puppet anyways.

“Why do you play with that bug doll thing?” You asked him.

“It’s not a doll. Hiruko is my puppet armor,” He said flatly.

“But Sasori, you’re like 15…”

“I’m 35, you brat!”

You let out an exaggerated gasp which made Sasori cringe.

“Oh my gosh, really? Your skin looks flawless! Not even a single wrinkle! What’s your secret, Sasori?” You asked.

“Get out! I’m busy!” Sasori hissed.

You pouted, “you’re so mean! That’s no way to talk to your wife!”

Sasori looked at you like you were insane.

“We’re not married, you-!”

“Yes we are! See?” You raised up your pinky showing your Akatsuki ring.

“Daddy gave all of us matching custom rings and everything!” You say with a pout.

Sasori deadpanned. You really were an idiot…

What Sasori didn’t imagine, was what you would do next…

He bursted into his room to see you with his puppet.

You smiled at him. “Sasori! Look! I made Hickory all pretty!”

Sasori widened his eyes in horror.

There stood Hiruko dressed in a sparkly pink gown, a blonde wig, heavy makeup, and lashes.

“I’ve been putting pretty dresses on your dolls! Aren’t it pretty?”

Sasori’s eyes darkened. He suddenly took off his Akatsuki cloak revealing the ropes and blades on his body.

You gasped in horror. “SASORI?!”

You gave him an incredulous look. “…You got plastic surgery?!”

The blades on his body started spinning which made you shrink back in fear.

“Um…S-Sasori?”

He raised a menacing hand towards you.

“DIE…”

Crush - Andrew Detmer x Reader

Summary: Andrew isn’t used to having friends- he’s also not used to pretty girls asking if he’s okay.

Tags/warnings: andrew detmer x fem!reader, friends to lovers, fluff, andrew getting the love he deserves goddammit

A/N: I FINALLT FUCKIN DID IT YALL IT TOOK ME LIKE THREE MONTHS BHT I MADE THE ANDREW X READER LMAOOO

It had been barely a week since you met Andrew at the barn party, and he hadn’t stopped thinking about you since.

You had a certain kindness, a warmth in your eyes, that made his heart skip a beat and filled his nervous stomach with butterflies. He could barely stand to look you in the eye, as much as he wanted to, and he always prayed to god you never noticed. All he ever wanted was to impress you, to keep you, to see you smile at him and ask him how he was doing.

The way you met was enough to make him fall in love in itself- he was crying outside, alone with nothing more than his camera. Then came you, you with your ripped tights and chipped black nail polish, you who asked if he was okay and asked again after he swore he didn’t hear you right. It was you who sat with him and talked for an hour, telling him that things would be okay, listening to him spill everything he had been holding in for so long. And when he’d stopped crying, when you had to go home, it was you who uncapped the black sharpie with your teeth and wrote your number on his arm to “talk to me whenever you want- even if it’s not about deep stuff.”

Now it was him, sitting in your bedroom on your bed, his face beet red and flushed with nerves. He was trying to listen to you talk about the album that was playing after you slipped it into your pink CD player, but all he could focus on was how pretty you were, god how pretty you were, and how he didn’t have the guts to contribute much more than a “that’s cool” to the conversation. Thankfully, you didn’t really seem to mind. You were good at keeping the conversation going, asking him questions and bringing up new topics when you knew he was too shy to bring them up himself. Occasionally, he’d have to remind himself of how surreal it was to be sitting in the bedroom of a cute girl, after she had invited him to come over and play Mortal Kombat. The feeling never fully went away, but there were times where he forgot, and could feel himself grinning and being pulled more and more into the conversation and the ease that you tried your hardest to give him with a warm smile and random “are you okay?”s and “are you having fun? We can do something else if you want.”

There was a moment of brief silence while he looked at you, your favorite album playing and being muffled by the noises in his head. He suddenly found himself blurting out the words that has truthfully been on his mind all week.

“Why did you talk to me? At Haven Hills.”

You paused, glancing at him briefly and pursing your lips. Truthfully, it was more of an impulse decision when you noticed him crying on the wet grass. He looked so alone, so miserable. There was something about him- maybe just something about people who were in pain- that made you want to make him happy, and make him feel cared for. He looked almost like a reflection of yourself from the days when you felt so isolated and deflated. The separation from the crowd while they danced inside a place that you never really felt you belonged in.

“I don’t know- you were upset, and I wanted to make you feel better.” You told him. “You looked like you needed a friend.”

Andrew hesitated, furrowing his brows and staring down at the carpet, thinking. “So… Is that why you invited me over, then? You just wanted to make me feel better?”

“Of course not,” you replied. “I wanted to hang out with you because I thought you seemed cool. And you are- y’know… Cool, I mean.”

Andrew’s frown faded, being replaced with a shy smile. “Thanks,” he mumbled. “You’re cool, too. I mean… really cool. Way too cool to hang out with me.”

“Dude, are you kidding?” You grinned at him. “You’re awesome, Andrew. You’re funny, you’re sweet, you’re almost as good as me at Mortal Kombat, I could go on.”

Andrew giggled, making your heart skip a beat. God, he’s pretty.

The two of you hung out at your apartment for hours, switching between videogames, baking cookies, and talking about anything and everything. Once Andrew had relaxed (as much as he could, anyway) and felt more comfortable talking about himself to you, you both realized you had a lot in common- but it was when the sun fell behind the trees and stars lit up the sky that you started to talk about more than just your music taste and favorite movies.

You only had one lamp in your room, a bulb without a shade that sat on your bedside table. You were both tired and done for, lying on your bed on your backs under the dim yellow light. Andrew was playing with the loose threads of his sleeves as he stole little glances at you, always flicking his gaze back to the ceiling before you could catch him. You had seen him staring at you all day- you weren’t stupid, and you could tell when someone was into you. You’d seen the way he looked at you, and the way he got flustered when you looked into his eyes and teased him. He always looked so cute like that- blushing and smiling down at his hands in his lap whenever you complimented him.

“I, um…” Andrew started, clearing his throat. “I’ve had a really nice time… by the way,” he mumbled quietly, stealing a quick glance at your facial expressions a couple times.

“I’m glad.” You beamed, turning over on your side to look at him. You nestled your hands under your cheek. “I’ve had a lot of fun, too.”

Andrew hesitated before mimicking your position, turning to face you. You could see his face was dusted with pink, avoiding your gaze. There was no denying that your faces were awfully close to one another, so much so that you could smell the soft scent of his cologne and he could smell the flowers in your shampoo. His skin looked so soft, void of imperfections, and his hauntingly blue eyes were constantly looking everywhere but you. It wasn’t an insult- far from it- you knew it was because the closeness made him nervous.

“I’ve never really done anything like this,” he blurted out, his eyes moving up to yours for a second before returning to your checkered bed sheets.

“Done anything like what?” You asked, raising a brow.

“Had friends,” he said quietly. You could feel your heart sink in your chest as he said it, furrowing your brows and pursing your lips involuntarily. “Nobody ever asks me to do stuff like this. My cousin Matt drives me to school and picks me up, but he doesn’t even say hi when he sees me in the hallways. He invited me to that stupid fucking party at Haven Hills and then he just ditched me. No one’s ever just… taken the time to talk to me. To get to know me.”

You had always been a very empathetic person, and hearing him talk about his life and how people had treated him nearly made you tear up. You wanted to pull him close to you and hold him, or caress his cheek and brush his hair out of his face, but you were afraid of coming on too strong or too quickly. You just wanted to comfort him in any way you could.

“Well, that’s fucking stupid. I love hanging out with you.” You grinned at him and his pretty blue eyes drifted up to meet yours, a smile replacing the previous frown on his lips.

Every time he looked at you, heard your voice validating him and assuring him you enjoyed his presence, he could feel himself growing more and more attached at an unsettling rate. Andrew was undoubtedly an obsessive person, and you were making it increasingly more difficult to not be obsessed with. You were so caring, so endlessly kind and sweet to him, something no one had ever bothered to do.

“I… I really love hanging out with you.” He mumbled and smiled brightly down at the sheets below him, unable to contain the excitement that was building in his chest.

“I mean, I- I really like you. You know, as a person. I mean, um- if… Unless you…” He was stumbling over his words with his heart pounding in his chest. He didn’t mean to let those words slip, a string of words that he’d never really confessed before, whether it was more obvious or not. Everything about you just made him so nervous and so happy all at the same time.

“You like me?” You smirked, looking him up and down. “You got a crush on me or something, Andrew?”

His lips parted in shock as he looked up at you with wide eyes, which didn’t last long as he couldn’t will himself to maintain the eye contact. His gaze flicked down again, then side to side, trying to think of what to say. His face was beet red at this point, and his mouth was dry, still attempting to form the right words. Come on, dude, he told himself. Just say something.

“Uh… A pretty big crush on you- yea.” His voice was quiet and airy as he smiled. He bit his lips as he looked up at you, gaging your reaction. He was terrified that you’d make fun of him, that he ruined his chances of even just being friends with you. What if you were just making fun of him? What if you were just kidding, and now he ruined everything.

“I’ve got a pretty big crush on you, too,” you replied, beaming.

He could feel his heart stop in his chest as a bright smile spread on his face. His stomach was filled with nervous and excited butterflies as his eyes flicked up to yours quickly. “R-Really?” He opened his mouth and closed it, hesitating on his words. “Like… you’re being serious right now?”

You giggled and nodded. “Of course,” you told him. “Dead serious.”

Andrew bit his lip as he looked down, his eyes slightly darting from side to side. He felt so happy, so pleasantly surprised, that he didn’t know what to say. But as he looked back up into your eyes, and your gaze flicked down to his mouth and back up again, all he could think about was how badly he wanted to kiss you. You were so close to him, with your pretty pink lips and soft skin. There was a hesitation in the air, a thick layer of silence and anticipation as you both met each other’s eyes.

“Can I kiss you?” You blurted out, a slight tint of pink settling on your cheeks.

“Fuck, please…” Andrew breathed before you immediately leaned forward and pressed your lips against his.

Andrew had never kissed anyone before- he had thought about the moment he would for so long, always worried that he wouldn’t know what to do. And at that first second, he was frozen, his heart thudding in his ears with a vulnerability he’d never felt before. But once the feeling had sunken in, his mouth moved instinctually against yours.

Your hand had moved up and settled on his cheek, the warmth of your skin against his sending electricity across each of his nerves. His stomach was doing somersaults as he kissed you, trying to teeter on the line between letting himself move naturally and trying his hardest to not fuck up, to not do anything weird, to not accidentally bump his teeth against yours.

When you pulled away and smiled at him, he could feel himself melting into the mattress, a dopey grin on his face. He was sure his cheeks must have been red, and he could still feel the heat on his face that made it hard for him to look at you- but god, he loved looking at you. And you loved looking at him.

“Can we… Can we do that again?” He mumbled, avoiding your gaze before hesitantly looking up into your eyes again.

“Fuck, you’re so cute…” You teased, before pressing your lips against his once again and settling into the feeling.

That feeling that would never get any less euphoric over the following years.
