pinkberry 46?
Brooke couldn't stand it.
She had always been slow to anger, generally one to avoid any sort of conflict. She would never dare to confront Chloe about anything.
But this?
Oh, she was absolutely sick of it.
Sitting on Chloe's bed, hugging a pillow like she had done many, many, many times before. Watching as Chloe paced around the room ranting about none other than her on-again off-again boyfriend.
(For the record, they were very recently off again).
"Jake did this" and "Jake did that" and "can you believe what he did?" and "i can't fucking stand him" and many other insults. Chloe said mostly the same thing every single time, Brooke could almost tick off a mental checklist or a bingo card.
Why the fuck did Jake get to be the sole focus of Chloe's attention?
He didn't deserve it, he didn't deserve Chloe, he didn't deserve any of her tears.
He wasn't worth it.
(Jake was a perfectly reasonable guy when the focus wasn't his volatile relationship with Chloe, but Brooke couldn't help but resent him. Was it unreasonable? She was yet to decide).
Why couldn't Chloe look at her for once? Why couldn't Chloe see what was right in front of her? Why couldn't Chloe pay attention to her?
Brooke wasn't really one to act on impulse.
But honestly? She was sick of Chloe being focused only on Jake. It was always about Jake, Jake was the only person she could talk about. Jake this, Jake that, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake.
Chloe was still in the middle of her rant about Jake when Brooke finally made her move. It happened quickly.
She put down the pillow.
She stood up.
She walked over to Chloe.
She grabbed Chloe's shirt and pulled her down.
She pressed her lips to Chloe's.
Chloe's lips were soft. They tasted of strawberries. Brooke liked the feeling of Chloe's lips on her own.
Chloe was stunned once Brooke had pulled away, her face slowly turning red.
"You were talking about him too much. He doesn't deserve you," Brooke said.

aaaaa your reblog reminded me: i love kakapos so much that i did an entire presentation on them in high school but i didn't know about takahē until recently, are there any other cool new zealand animals that you like??
yo, that's so cool! And yes! I love all our birds but here are some favourites. This might end up as a long-ish post.
The first bird owns my entire heart but is unfortunately extinct, and that is the Huia. I was told about them because my aunt uses huia imagery a lot in her art and I did an art study on them. Traditionally, they were used a lot in Maori cultur such as their tail feathers held great significance as symbols of friendship and respect. They were also used as accessories. However, I believe they quickly became extinct after Europeans arrived due to deforestation and over-hunting. Owning part of a huia bird became a high fashionable demand (I could have this wrong), and female huia beaks were set in gold as broaches.
(Male huia in the front, female huia at the back)
Closely related to huia is the Kōkako. "In Māori myth, the kōkako filled its wattles with water and brought it to Maui as he fought the sun. Maui rewarded the bird by making its legs long and slender, enabling it to bound through the forest with ease." (Department of Conservation). I just think they're really neat.
Fantail (or pīwakawaka) aren't necessarily native but they're very common. I love them and they low-key remind me of fairies for reasons I can't quite explain.
Kākā and Kea are part of the same family. Kākā are large parrots and they're pretty neat and live more in forests, keas are little shits but super intelligent and are alpine birds. You often hear stories of keas picking at rubber seals on cars or windscreen wipers.
(L: Kākā R: Kea)
I cannot make a post about New Zealand animals without mentioning the kiwi. There are about 5 species, I think: Brown Kiwi, Great spotted kiwi/roroa, Little spotted kiwi, Rowi, and Tokoeka. When I was a kid, I needed to have music or something to fall asleep and one of the cassette tapes my parents used to play had a story called 'how the kiwi lost its wings'. To sum up, the Tāne (atua/got of forests and birds) asked the birds for volunteers to live on the forest floors to eat the bugs or something. The kiwi was the only one to volunteer after all the other birds refused. So Tāne shrunk the kiwis wings and made their beak longer.
(Image is of the little spotted kiwi)
Morepork/ruru! These are owls and they're super cool! Occasionally, I'll hear one or two at night. They're very common and one of the only birds on this list that isn't under immediate threat of extinction.
Pūkeko are swamphens. When I was a kid, I learnt about takahe before I learnt about Pūkeko, so when I first saw one I got excited and called it a takahe. But they're quite common, my siblings and I would make a game of counting how many Pūkekos we see on the way to/from our grandparents. As swamphens, they're usually wetland birds. But due to the loss of habitats, they've adapted to other environments such as paddocks and croplands. But they're primarily swamp birds.
I would see wax-eye/tauhou birds a lot in the back gardens. They're small olive green birds with a white ring around their eyes. Their name in te reo (tauhou) translates to 'stranger' or more literally, 'new arrival'.
Tūī are another favourite. These guys are honey eaters, typically eating from flowers. They're also songbirds and can mimic songs. They're quite common as well, and have a very distinctive call. You often hear them before you see them.
I think there's a limit of 10 photos so I can't add anymore but there's also the New Zealand Wood Pigeon, or Kererū. These guys are gorgeous too. They also mainly eat fruits and flowers. I don't know if this is correct, but I think I remember someone saying that these birds sometimes get drunk off of the fruits or flowers they eat. They were historically a major food source for Māori, and we're considered a taonga (treasure).
And I guess these count as birds since one species won the New Zealand Bird of the Year in 2021, but we have two species of bats! The long-tail bat and the short-tail bat.
Also Tuataras! According to the DoC (Department of Conservation) website, "Tuatara are a rare reptile found only in New Zealand. They are the last survivors of an order of reptiles that thrived in the age of the dinosaurs." I just think they're super neat.

3—i'm obsessed with my whole paris playlist. i love having a hyperfixation. but specifically, i love "human" by rag'n'bone man and how it connects to the judgement!!! i have been cackling over "we don't talk about bruno" from encanto. i want to write a parody about paris. deiphobus is camilo. and last, "any fool could see" from paris. ofc i mention paris the musical for this one. i just think helen's so much fun in that song!!! she's so angry!!! i love it
18—oh boy. let's see. "one day" by imagine dragons, "inarticulation" by rio romero, and "star on top" by pentatonix remind me of my beloved qpp ángel. "anti-hero" by taylor swift, "mr. loverman" by ricky montgomery, and "alexander hamilton" from hamilton remind me of my irl bestie at school. (they're both my best friends i couldn't choose lol)
20—oh boy. again lol. "the smartphone hour" from bmc. "achilles come down" by gang of youths. OH and "no body, no crime" by taylor swift! (you're the taylor swift person to me but i can't ever remember any of her songs. i did the same thing with my best friend, she's also a taylor swift person!)
#thanks for the ask :D#ask game#ask tag#theabyssgazesalsointoyou#paris of troy#paris the musical#for ángel#hamilton#be more chill

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?
I'm gonna be real, I mostly see boyf friends and richjake as BroTPs but I'll still consume ship content of them because I like seeing how other people interpret the characters
6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
I used to be pretty neutral about richjer and the ship name spicy bis really drove me away from it for a while but now I think it's a really fun and interesting ship
7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
I used to really like boyfs then I kinda got tired of it cause it was really oversaturated in the fandom

Opening line patterns tag game!!
Thought this was pretty fun so i wanted to hop on :)
Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there's a pattern!
(I have exactly ten fics so good for me!)
In order of oldest to newest:
1. The Magical Feeling of Falling in Love(i kinda fucked up the fic with this title tbh i do not like it)
“It was a weird feeling for Jack Sullivan.”
2. The Best Christmas Gift
“Today is Christmas.”
3. It’s Always Truth Or Dare That Screws People Over
“Wanna play truth or dare?”
4. What Do You Do When Your Classmate Faints?
“Jack was worried.”
(I am starting to see the trend here)
5. I Don’t Wanna Be Special
“Jeremy Heere is pretty attractive.”
(Okay the trend is broken nvm)
6. The Genius Is Heere
“Jeremy and Michael were inseparable, keyword: ‘were’.”
7. Shit.
“Seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern.”
(Tbh i have no idea what i was trying to do with the opening of this fic i literally copied and pasted the definition of seasonal depression here)
8. Memory Leak
“Michael found himself switching monitors from radio static to more radio static.”
9. Remembering the ones who can’t be here
“Jake disliked Christmas.”
10. Finding Love On Valentine’s Day
“A week before Valentine’s, Rich started discovering these obnoxiously pink letters, accompanied by a different flower every day in his locker.”
Conclusion
For my tlkoe fics it’s pretty obvious that i went for a shorter one liner kind of opening which is something i did not expect tbh. Kind of a straight to the deal, instant hook(?) kind of thing. For my bmc fics i started using longer sentences? And it’s funny because there’s kind of a transition there lol. For ml i tried to do the “start with action scenes” thing which ultimately fucked me up/hj I think the main pattern here is that i either use short one liners that cut to the chase or a longer sentence that also cuts to the chase but gives less of a “ooh what’s happening” kind of feeling. Yeah i like short one liners more they have this weird impact
Tags! (No pressure <3)
@theabyssgazesalsointoyou @h0n3yk1tt3n @rebuke-me
#tag game#maybe i’ll go back to using short one liners as openings#to be fair tgih is a multichap and so is ml so maybe i do still do that short one liner thing#anyway i still like it#kimda has like an instant hook#for me at least#when books do it i get hooked so#(sort of influenced by alice oseman)#i like separating sentences in separate lines#like it hits harder?#idk#ppl who read alice oseman books you get what i mean

Are you still taking requests? If so, can you draw some Christine x Chloe, if you don’t mind?
The one where Christine’s a human and Chloe’s a goddess
Inspired by @/theabyssgazesalsointoyou’s drawing here

WAIT i must hear about El Rhubarbulous
El Rhubarbulous was born from an inside joke with my friends.
One friend drew a Brontosaurus on the whiteboard during rehearsal and named him after a rhubarb cell.
He is now a part of this universe. A Brontosaurus skeleton with plants to form the muscles and such. He has a poncho and a sombrero (with a piece of rhubarb poking out of it).
He is the theatre troupe's unofficial mascot (it is a debate between El Rhubarbulous and Mimikos)
I think I need to give El Rhubarbulous more attention.
#lara rambles#ask tag#theabyssgazesalsointoyou#recollections#el Rhubarbulous is well loved#i have this image of Lester yellong 'el Rhubarbulous i choose you!' loke theu do on Pokemon before je summons him

3. As a fic writer, are you an evil dictator, a ship captain, a trauma dumper, a mad scientist, a carefree hedonist, or a vengeful rogue?
I think... considering I have more ship fics than anything else but the trauma tends to cut deep when it is there, I'm inclined to say ship captain with trauma dumping tendencies. Maybe. That's the best answer i can think of.
12. Which fic would you trust to do your taxes?
Now I know the typical billionaire of real life is a tax evading douche canoe, but I'm gonna say one of my Weakness fics (hi becca) because I like to think that Jeremy is a billionaire that Isn't a major shit. You know, once the stories progress further lol. Sooo I think I'm gonna say Joyride.
21. Cast your mutuals in [insert fic.]
Oh this is hard... L2C has the widest cast but the most trauma (and death) whereas most of my other fics are tamer but confined to like, four characters (that actually do anything) at most.
Ok I'm just gonna go off of the main six Survivors in L2C to make things slightly easier for myself. I'm gonna go with @/biscuitbakerbecca for Zoe: strikes up a good balance between taking things seriously and finding the good in the misery whenever possible. @/peanut-butter-and-theatre for Jake: trying desperately to not get bogged down by the misery of the Green Flu to the point of ignoring trauma until it literally can't be ignored anymore. You, Luna, for Alana: much more insistent that things will turn out ok and downright convinced of this for a LONG time before things look their bleakest. Im debating on who to have @/novethegreat and @/theabyssgazesalsointoyou as between Rich and Jeremy: they're both well aware of how shitty things are, but Rich at least finds humor where he can while Jeremy soldiers on with little to no funny business. Aaaand @/cryptids-and-muses for Jared: mostly fucking around while knowing just how bleak things are because hey, might as well have fun as the world burns to the ground.
