#these are not meetcute people
Text
That w359 post is why the only non-Hephaestus AU I've posted about was the community college employees one because working at a community college is roughly equivalent to working on a crumbling space station in terms of pressure cooker environments that bond you through trauma. Yesterday I got calls and texts that there was a tornado but the college never turned the interior alert system on. Then an hour later I was on lunch break and the water stopped working because they'd turned it off to do a test at 11:30. Then two hours after that we lost internet for 30 minutes. The facilities guy told us he personally won't drink the water but refused to elaborate.
#me: I just got a text saying there's a tornado warning#coworker: well the sirens aren't going off and our alerts aren't going and we haven't gotten a campus text#me picking up my work phone: just got an automated call from the city saying there's a tornado and to take shelter#coworker: the alerts still haven't gone off though#me: do you really trust this school to keep us ali-#*tornado sirens started midsentence*#we shepherded all the students downstairs and the campus emergency text finally went out 10 minutes after the siren#the alert system never did U_U#never mind I lied I posted about a good place AU#but that is also an environment forcing people together#the point is they would not get along organically#these are not meetcute people

Passed by a middle-aged man in the grocery store just now who was playing Shape of My Heart by Sting aloud out of his apple watch, I was also listening to this exact song on my earbuds like a minute ahead of him, so I stopped and was like “omg are you listening to Sting right now? I’m listening to that exact same song right now too :D I love Sting he’s like my favorite.”
Mistake; this man looked down at me with the most awe-struck, love-filled eyes Ive ever seen, introduced himself to me, asked me what my name was (I told him my name was Adam. Second mistake because he said “Wow! That’s so unique of you, I love that, you seem so special”) and started trying to tell me other things about himself/ ask me questions about myself and I had to just be like “haha cool” and speed-walk away.
I can only assume this man has been playing Sting out loud in grocery stores just waiting for his weird girl sugar baby soulmate to recognize Sting and talk to him or something. I believe she’s out there, John. But I’m not her. I’m sorry, John, keep looking for her in the grocery store. Lmao
#like Im so sorry John. this is not actually a meetcute.#Adam is my go-to fake name for when I dont want to tell people my real name and/or confuse them further about my gender identity. but it#got this guy extra excited about me lmao#any single Sting-loving girl-boys out there want this guy? he’s waiting for you in the toiletries aisle of the ACME on Walnut street lol#hannah is talking

coffee shop au wherein marcille's goal is to hookup with her infuriating coworker's hot sister and laios's goal is to get marcille to try all these exotic milks he wants to push corporate to allow
complicating this is that one guy who comes in and is all "oh yeah, you need to steam buffalo milk at a slightly different temperature", the guy who keeps almost getting fired for trying to start a union, and izutsumi (izutsumi)
#dungeon meshi#i feel like too many people have coffee shop aus for cushy meetcutes#and not coworker strife and giving kabru a new heart attack every day with jaguar milk

is there already an AU where Cap and Pat are alive at the same time and meet and become friends through Ham radio or they report news to remote locations with the other being the conveyor or they're in intelligence or something, anything, socializing through beeps suits them too well. oh what if they have the other's sending quirks memorised?
#the patcap feels have resurfaced in me#patcap#bbc ghosts#i already have an au of my own planned out and it's fucking adorable but.. the time. the energy. WHERE ART THOU?#i think they deserve a meetcute other than ''watching Pat get shot and drive into a tree'' on Captain's part and#''stumbling out from the shock of dying to find out these people laid bets on your death'' for Pat

I can’t get Jaewon and the eighth sense out of my head because i see so much of myself in him. The way he’s always there for his friends, even to the detriment to himself. and it doesn’t have to be anything tragic. it’s going out and getting drunk and putting on that mask every day. it’s getting out of your own head long enough to realize that your friend is going through it and you need to care.
i’ve only watched it once but it’s in the way depression can, occasionally, manifest as a sort of manic episode. like you’re so empty and numb but 1) you can’t let anyone find out 2) you decide you’re going to be better. just like that, through sheer force of will. and so Jaewon smiles brightly and meets with friends and greets teachers and does a bang-up job of acting like he’s perfect he’s fucking perfect but inside there’s just nothing there. or maybe it’s not that there’s nothing there-- it’s that there’s so much but he can’t access it, he’s afraid to touch it because if he does then it will overwhelm him.
Jaewon has a lot of trauma and circumstances that definitely didn’t help his mental health but Jihyun was the breath of fresh air he desperately needed. and not in a Jihyun saved Jaewon kinda way but in the way that this new person broke up the monotony, showed him it was okay to reach out for help that, there was at least one person he didn’t have to hide from.
and just-- 10/10 to this show for showing that Jaewon very much struggles with depression-- he takes antidepressants, he sees a therapist, and even with those tools (and Jihyun) he isn’t magically cured. he can still sink low. that this kinda shit is cyclical and you can try your best but it can still be hard, you can still suffer, you will still have to drag yourself back up from underwater. but you can do it. because you’ve done it before.
#i have so many feelings about jaewon and all of them begin and end with i see myself when i look at him#damn now if only i could have a meetcute and happen along the loml#idk i appreciated his portrayal through the whole show#and even when i was mad at him on jihyun's behalf i still understood him#because another thing about depression: you don't think people actually care#so he's 1) protecting jihyun after episode 6#but also even when jihyun is reaching out#we very much know that jaewon's mental health is spiralling and everything is just going so wrong and he is just too numb and tired to do#anything about it and so even when jihyun is reaching out#i feel like there was a part of jaewon terrified that it wasn't real#he was afraid to get his hopes up that 1) it could all end up okay and 2) jihyun feels the same#ah god fuck i love him#also just this all originated from what i perceive to be manic depression? i'm sure that's not clinical#but i have felt like jaewon there so many times..... laughing too hard smiling too much#feeling like everyone could see the cracks behind it even if they couldn't#trying so hard when it's all so wrong#the eighth sense#seo jaewon#me#... ykw#fic ideas#my writing tag

recreation of a couple photos from a scene between orville & phil that do seem to have homosexual overtones / intense friendship / possible romance energy
also the ensemble is there (& joe, & montgomery, & gloria, off to the sides) but the orvphil plausibilities feel Quite real
#from someone's pictures from a preview performance....dunno their stance on slapping down a repost right out there so: renderings#i would describe it as fairly remarkable lol. there are indeed ppl like clasping their hands smiling upon the scene in the backgrounds lol#can't quite capture it all in trackpad ms paint but like. intense professional friendship is right.#and that these pics immediately follow what's presumably the scene of montgomery out there seducing orville's mom so like#why not be a parallel....#meanwhile this Isn't their meetcute; another pic earlier has different outfits & shows it includes the film's Glasses Mixup swapping#striding over embracing cheri steinkellner like you get it....you just get it....#meanwhile there's then Further pics of phil and orville like. i think after the scene i am recreating here#All pics of phil & orville ft. them together from there out. fellas?#summer stock#orville wingate#i'll break out a whole tag for real and for fun lol#orvphil#other points for this concept just include like. don't tell tim but ''the narrative'' that queer people exist...is shoehorned into Reality#and that everything abt the writing / execution of this show makes it amenable / conducive to this plausibility#we can also have comedy & extra comedic characters here w/o it being ''lol imagine if anyone was gay? that's the joke''#and again i strongly doubt if this show Is invoking homosexual overtones it's to go ''haha. that would never happen. is the joke''#congratulations to Whatever They Have#congratulations to us summery stockies out here hoping for orville & phil material & Definitely getting it....duo for sure#i was even just let down w/the movie Only giving the corresponding roles the glasses mixup moment. let the funny boys interact. cmon#anyways ofc i'll dm you the pix if you're intrigued or just the link to the zipped mega file as sent along to me#phil Has got his arm/hand right over orville's chest who is hanging onto that arm in turn#phil Is leaning a bit in with his hand on orville's stomach like alright musicians grab your musicians

𝒲𝑒𝑒𝓀𝑒𝓃𝒹 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒢𝓇𝒶𝓎𝓈 → Day 2: The Welcome Ball 2.0
Event by @endlessly-cursed, who also owns Prim (and Adonis)
8:01 pm
“Mr. Devlin, William. You’re the first to arrive,” Prim exclaims, offering him a smile.
“The ball begins at 8 pm,” William responds.
“You’ve never liked when they tell you an event begins at one time, but the expectation is to arrive later.”
“It makes no sense. Why not just say it begins at the later time?”
“Well, have a nice time. And, save me a dance, I suppose.”
“Isn’t that supposed to be my line?”
“That may be, but as I know you, you’ll leave a third of the way through. Do know, though, that I won’t tolerate anyone saying negative things about you, William.”
His lips quirk up in a half-smile. “You cannot control it all, Prim.”
“Ah, I know. But do try to enjoy yourself.”
“I shall endeavor to enjoy myself tonight. If no one makes mention of our dissolved engagement, then it shall at least be partly successful.”
“Ah, that farce. Do not remind me, but we are to show that it has not impacted relations between our titles. I still cannot believe how long these legal proceedings are taking.”
“Yes,” William sighs. “I know.”
9:15 pm
Simon surveys the crush as he makes his way towards the host and hostesses, like a good earl and a good third son. He stops for a word or two with many of his fellow peers, asking him about his opinions on this or that. Not that the words of a teenaged earl mean much to them, but they’ll likely spread the word about the reclusive earl of Wexford’s politics. And be repulsed by most of what he decides to champion, not that he has a seat in Parliament as he’s a peer of Ireland and not one selected to serve in government.
“Lord Gray. Lady Gray. Miss Gray,” Simon says, offering a quick bow once he approaches the family.
“Lord Wexford. How nice it is for you to attend. We missed you last year,” Lord Gray says.
“Ah, yes. Something came up that could not be ignored. I apologize that my regrets came so late.”
“Don’t worry about it, Wexford. I’m sure that everyone here shall find you infinitely fascinating. The reclusive earl of Wexford, finally showing his face at a society event.”
“You grant me too much intrigue. I am not nearly as interesting as one would think. The rumors have gotten a little out of hand.”
Simon doesn’t know how much the viscount or his daughter knew about the rumors. Well, specifically the horrifying rumor that stated that Simon had been the one to set the fire that had killed his entire family. That one was probably the result of Horace wanting to keep Simon hidden… and probably because Horace was still itching to get his greasy fingers on Simon’s title. Therefore, the fewer people knew Simon, the better, in Horace Dormer’s view.
9:47 pm
Minerva slips through the crowd, ducking beneath arms until she nearly runs smack into Adonis Demiurgos’s back. Her arms fly out, as she steadies herself. In that moment, though, Adonis turns around and Minerva loses whatever balance she had had previously garnered. The momentum has her falling forward, but his arms come forward, landing on her shoulders to steady her.
“Are you alright, Minerva?” he asks, his hands lingering on her shoulders.
“I’m fine,” Minerva replies, studying his face and appearance. There’s something different about him, but she cannot place what it is. “I was going to say hello to our hostess. My mother would have my head if I breached that protocol.”
“How is your family?”
“They’re good. Ned’s at home dealing with something or other. I didn’t pay attention to what it was. Ned rambles too much for my taste when it comes to that.”
Adonis laughed softly. “Well, I wouldn’t want your mother to have your head, so I’ll let you go… but before you do, could I get a dance?”
“A dance?”
“Yes, you know, what they do when music plays.”
“I know what a dance is, you clodpole.”
Adonis shakes his head, a small smile forming on his lips.
10:24 pm
“Thank you for adhering to my wishes about the Gryffindor Lynch boy, Prim,” Niamh says, upon finally having a moment with her fellow Ravenclaw.
“I wouldn't pressure you. I admire your dedication to establishing a career first, Niamh. And, the Lynch brothers both declined, something about other plans,” Prim replies.
“I suppose I’m just lucky that my parents are supportive of my plan and aren’t pressuring me to marry.”
“Yes, I’d say you are. What are your plans? I cannot believe we have never discussed that.”
“My plan is to become an auror.”
“Wow. I wish you the best of luck, but I’m sure this type of conversation will come up again.”
“I suppose it will,” Niamh says. “Also, this has been quite a lovely hall. I must admit, though, that I am a bit out of my depths. A Catholic farm girl from Mayo isn’t necessarily someone you imagine at a hall.”
“Thank you. And you fit in just as well as everyone else, even if you are a Catholic farm girl from Ireland.”
#weekendwiththegrays#wwtg22#william devlin#simon battersea#minerva kennedy#niamh kelly#adonis demiurgos#aderva#minerva x adonis#hphl#hogwarts legacy#my ocs#other people’s ocs#my aesthetic#my writing#hope the little aderva scene makes up for not being able to write their meetcute#and the idea is that both lord gray & lord carlisle are covering their asses when dissolving the marriage contract to avoid suing#because even though it was fairly mutual they both want be covered#also that they didn’t really do any events together that summer so now at this event they need to put on that face

The way I keep downloading and deleting dating apps
#like I’m so lonely#but I hate all these men#and I also don’t want this to be my story#like good for people that found their guy like that#but Bollywood and Hollywood and books have rot my brain#and I wanna fall in love in real life#with a meetcute and everything#anyway now I wanna cry#cause I feel like that’s never going to happen

Recent commission I did for @sweetlyvaliantfinch of her characters Jim and Vex!
I’m so curious about how these two end up, and I’m so glad she likes how they came out!
Just as a reminder, I’m still taking commissions per my pinned post!
#other people's characters#other people’s ocs#my art#my commissions#this is the sort of meetcute where Voltaire’s when you’re evil is playing in the background

oh god. talking with my family about meeting new people and how to go beyond superficial get-to-know-you questions and my mom asks me and my fiancé “so what did you guys talk about when you first started talking?” and my mind just. bluescreens bc the answer to that question is “some smut on tumblr about a boi giving a butch daddy a blow job” but i can’t exactly say THAT
#we tell people we met “online” and let them assume a dating app#i can’t lie to save my fucking life#“hm what did we talk about babe?”#thank god she’s quicker than me and came up with books and climbing right off the bat#but i know damn well my face was doing some weird things in those 2 seconds#ztalks#“yeah we sexted for like a month straight and found our kinks lined up kind of perfectly” is not an acceptable meetcute to tell to family#we need to come up with a better story before the wedding huh
