my roleplay information/application!

hey guyssss, so like i'm kinda desperate for rp partners so i'm just gonna try my luck here and see if any of y'all are interested in rping with me! feel free to read through this information and message me if you are interested!! as long as you meet my requirements, i would love to rp with you!!

basic information

i am 18 (19 in a few weeks) and i'm okay rping with any age, but i will not rp anything relating to nsfw with a minor. not even implied nsfw, it's just very uncomfortable. but if you're 18+, i'll rp anything on this list with you!

i only rp semi-lit/descriptive. this means at least five sentences, detailed responses that aren't just surface level. it's hard to respond to stuff that's lazy, so please please please just put in the effort if you want high quality responses in return!

the fandoms i roleplay are sanders sides, undertale, your turn to die, and omori. i dabble in oc rp, but it's not very common for me since i don't really have many ocs that i like enough to rp with.

my favorite types of roleplay are heavy angst and whump. i love really dark concepts, and it's rare that i won't do something that's dark and angsty. i struggle with concepts that are just fluff because i prefer rps with a lot of conflict and struggle.

my only triggers are constant discussion about body type/comparing body types and descriptive talk of medical needles. other than that i will do literally anything lol.

i am filipino-american, audhd, physically disabled, and i love to incorporate these aspects of my identity into the characters i play. if you don't like that, we probably won't make very good rp partners.

i hate hate HATE poking. please don't remind me of the rp after ten minutes of me not responding. please don't remind me of the rp after ten HOURS of me not responding. i know it exists, i just need time to reply. if you nag me about responding, i probably will wait even longer to reply because it's intimidating.

i love to chat oorp! feel free to leave a silly message, even if it has nothing to do with rp!

scroll all the way to the bottom of the post if you want to see writing examples!! below are just specific tidbits of information pertaining to each fandom i rp!

sanders sides specific information

the main side i love to play is roman. i will always want to play roman in every single tss rp, he's just me, he's my number one homie, my favorite character of all time.

i can also play any of the other sides, but my characterization for them is not as solid as roman.

i don't really like patton in roleplays unless he's a minor character or an antagonist/villain. i am very good at playing patton as a villain, but i don't really like playing him in any other context. i have so many aus where patton is a villain or antagonist, so if that's your jam, you've come to the right place!

i will do mindscape or human aus, i love both!

i am okay with ocs but i will not do canon side x female oc. it just makes me very uncomfortable to ship sides with female characters.

some of my favorite ships are roceit, prinxiety, logince, anaroceit, analogical, intrulogical, and loceit.

the only ships i WILL NOT do are moxiety, royality, moceit, logicality, intruality, and remrom. every other ship, i'm completely okay with.

i love rping as remy or emile picani!!

i have SO MANY IDEAS for this fandom. like literally hundreds of aus. so please message me if you want to rp anything with angst, or drama, or anything like that because i have SO MUCH.

undertale specific information

so fun fact i'm actually kind of bad at undertale rp.

it's not that i'm awful i just don't have a lot of experience, but i'm working on it!

the main characters i like to play are papyrus, undyne, alphys, toriel, asgore, and gaster.

i can also play asriel/flowey, sans, frisk, mettaton, grillby, and chara if necessary.

i am totally fine with ocs, bring them on!

i don't really like rps with the au sans stuff? nothing against it, i just don't really know much about it and in the nicest way possible i don't really care. i prefer to stick with canon and prequel/sequel aus instead of aus that change up the characters' personalities and stuff.

my favorite undertale au of all time is handplates i have so many thoughts about it and i would love to rp it!

i love angsty rps but undertale is actually one of the only fandoms where i love to rp fluff for it. undertale is just such a goofy game and i love emulating that style of humor in rp!

ships i enjoy are soriel, papyton, alphyne, sansby, and whatever the ship name for alphys x gaster is?

the only undertale ships i WILL NOT rp are anything involving the child characters (frisk, chara, asriel, monster kid), and anything that ships undyne with a guy. i'm also not a huge fan of asgore x toriel but i'll do it if you really want me to!

your turn to die specific information

i am so new to rping in this fandom but i really want to anyway!! trust, i know all the lore, i just need some solid experience!

my favorite characters to play are jou, reko, nao, gin, kai, shin, hiyori, and sara.

i will play q-taro, mishima, or alice if necessary!

i am very bad at keiji, i don't think i can play him well.

i love canon and au roleplays equally! i would love to do either way!

i like pretty much all the ships, it would be easier to list ships i don't like.

i don't like any ships that involve the little kids (kanna, gin, hinako), any ships with a huge age gap (especially sara x keiji), and shin x hiyori. it's just...no.

omori specific information

i am very new to the fandom, so please have mercy on me if i get something wrong lol!

my favorite characters to play are kel, hero, aubrey, and mari!

i can play sunny if necessary.

i will not play basil. i actually don't like basil being present in roleplays, he's just a character i personally dislike. i'm fine with him showing up occasionally as a minor character, but i just don't like him being a big part of roleplays.

i will roleplay canon and aus! i love both! but bear in mind i am a bit more hesitant to rp ships in canon, but in aus i have zero reservations!

my favorite ships are anything involving sunny, kel, and aubrey being together, but my number one otp is hero x mari!

the only ships i WILL NOT do are ships that have basil in them, especially basil x sunny or basil x kel. they just don't sit right with me personally.

i don't really know much about the minor characters of the game...i might need a bit of guidance if you want to use a character that isn't a part of the main six! but i am completely fine with it as long as you're okay with me being a bit clueless.

writing samples!!!

The streets were soft, the dusty sidewalks concealed by powdery snow that made Brooklyn look like a wedding. Roman stepped lightly, wondering how high he would have to hold himself to keep his foot from sinking in the snow, ruining the shiny white blanket that protected his bare feet from the cruel asphalt.

His book remained tucked under his jacket, as if it needed protection from the biting wind. Roman didn’t think it was possible for something that carried such beautiful notions and ideas to be unfeeling, so he acted as though there was a beating heart somewhere between the pages. Nobody had ever told him there wasn’t one, so what was the harm in believing if it made the sky feel brighter, and the air feel warmer, and the world feel more connected?

When he came back to the small, tucked-away alley that he and his brothers were currently living in, he was happy to see a little fire that he could warm himself beside while he opened his new book, aching to see what was inside.

"Protect...me?"

Roman was unfamiliar. He was always used to protecting other people. He was tall, graceful and beautiful. Couldn't really throw a punch, but he had a way with his words that could get him absolutely anything he wanted. Including peace. He was used to standing between bullies and victims, seducing with his sweet smile and long eyelashes. Making anybody feel like they've been blessed just looking at him. With his parents always gone, and nobody to hold him during nightmares, Roman had gotten used to holding himself. But now, he just wanted to be protected so badly. He wanted to be truly loved by somebody besides himself.

"Okay..." he whispered, "Okay."

"Oh! Do you guys want to go to that restaurant across the street?" Patton asked, "We performed so well tonight, I think we all deserve a treat! Virgil, you hit that syncopation perfectly, and Janus, that riff was amazing! The crowd went wild for us! Drinks will be on me, as long as you all promise not to drink too much. I'll be the designated driver too. What do you say??"

Of course, this invitation was not extended to Logan. Patton didn't even notice Logan in the area, assuming that he was off sweeping the stage or packing up the van. Patton was the one who decided what everybody did, and he usually gave Logan the grease-work like that. He didn't really care very much about Logan, just because Logan wasn't as close to the group. There wasn't that bond of performing show after show, having fans that requested autographs, being followed and gushed over by paparazzi.

Since Logan was never onstage, nobody knew the face or identity of the man who wrote the songs that all these fans were so crazy about. And Patton sort of preferred it that way. He didn't really like the idea of Logan being a face of their band. Unlike Janus and Virgil, Patton wasn't sure how the public eye would recieve Logan. The man wasn't remotely ugly, but he was rather plain-looking. He tended to blend into the background of the rooms he occupied. He wasn't the type of look one would expect to be in a hugely successful band.

All the others had their "niche". Patton was the sweetheart, the nice one, the innocent one. Virgil was the quiet, brooding, mysterious one. And Janus was the charmer, able to seduce anyone with a wink and a smile. What was Logan? He didn't talk very much, he wasn't particularly nice, brooding, or seductive. Patton didn't like that Logan didn't exactly have an archetype. He didn't quite fit in.

Roman tilted his head with a polite smile and an appropriate amount of interest as Logan disclosed his name. It was nothing familiar to him, but he did think it was a beautiful-sounding name. He always loved when people's first and last names started with the same letter. It felt like a name out of a fairy-tale when it had that feature.

Listening to what Logan was saying, Roman couldn't help but go red, very embarrassed. He was bad at English, but he certainly wasn't stupid. He could tell that Logan was euphemizing heavily in order to preserve Roman's feelings, which made Roman both embarrassed that Logan felt the need to do this, and honored that Logan cared so much about how he felt. It was a really sweet gesture, honestly.

"You write music too?" he asked, very curious. "I would love to sing a song by you wrote. You will...pay me? Money?"

Roman wondered if Logan was offering him a job, or just wanting to have a jam session as friends and colleagues. He would be happy with either option, but he wanted to manage his expectations there and then, so there would be less awkwardness from false assumptions.

Roman looked at it and smiled as he read through the lyrics, his eyes carefully scanning from left to right as he ingested each lyric. His smile only grew.

"It is okay," he said, "I like messy handwriting. It means...it means your brain moves fast, and your hand must hurry to follow. I like this song. I think...I want to sing it. Do you want me to sing here? In front of everyone?"

Roman would definitely be willing to give Logan's song some publicity. And he adored the thrill of singing a song for the first time in front of a whole crowd of people. Roman wasn't the type to get stage fright. The more risky a performance was, the more excited he was to try and execute it. Roman had a bit of a shame deficiency, such was obvious with him singing those lyrics he wrote out loud multiple times.

His eyes were shining with enthusiasm, but also, with gratitude. He was thankful to Logan for the opportunity he had to bring this song to life, this brand new song that no one had ever heard before. The idea that its first breath of auditory life would be coming from Roman's own voice was so romantic that it almost made Roman want to sing it right there and then so he wouldn't have to wait anymore.

I've begun drafting chapter 4 but I'd be so shocked if I get it written and posted within the next 2-3 days. It definitely won't be a marathon writing session the way chapter 3 ended up being, esp since there are less absolutely-need-to-cover-this-point-in-this-chapter moments in this one so it'll take me a bit longer to flesh out the different scenes. I have very limited writing time this week lol

In other news I was so nervous about how people would respond to Sgaeyl as an AI but it seems like I didn't have anything to worry about! I felt like having her in this form was the best way to stay faithful to the FW source material while still writing in an alternate universe with no magic. Think of SGAEYL as JARVIS/KAREN/FRIDAY, but with a lot more personality and emotions. I try to keep my world building as realistic as possible for the world I'm writing in (see my attempts to integrate real-life cipher types even though I know nothing about cryptology lol), but the dragon AIs are incredibly unrealistic, since they'll have a lot more personality/emotions than real-life, or even near-future, AI would have. Normally that would really bother me, but to me it was way more important to find a way to incorporate Sgaeyl and eventually Tairn and the other dragons. I do have a couple ideas for how to integrate this disconnect into the plot, but I'm still fleshing it out.

On that note, if anyone who reads my stuff knows a lot about cryptology or old code breaking methods, please message me! I won't explain why on here b/c spoilers, but there are scenes that I'd like to include that I don't think can write unless I have a much better idea of what I'm talking about. I want to make this as realistic as possible, but also relatively easy to follow for a reader, and there is nothing I hate more than not being able to explain something in my writing.

I'm really interested to hear y'alls theories on what you think might happen as castles crumbling continues. The people I've discussed the plot with told me they didn't anticipate certain aspects of the story, but I've also had readers send me messages in the past straight up guessing plot twists that I could swear no one would see coming. I also want to hear which characters you're hoping to see more of! personally, I'm excited to write more scenes with ridoc and garrick, both on their own but (maybe, theoretically) also together later in the story. I feel like the two of them would actually be good friends once they're comfortable around each other. Idk. maybe that's my wishful thinking since the two of them live in my head rent free. I just want to gab abt my favorite characters with ppl lol its the only thing getting me through this brutal exam season.

SafetySpace AU guide

I saw other people doing this with their AUs, so I figured I'll do it too!

About the AU: This is essentially a swap AU, although the characters have kinda morphed into their own thing as well. Main Character here is Prince Yol (my swapped version of Eddie) a half human/ half mold-alien from a biopunk world who was sent to earth to learn all about us and how best to be king (think Twilight Sparkle). He and his friends live in a town much like the OG neighborhood, except it's surrounded by beautiful jungle instead of forest. The comic will follow the Welcome Home crew as they meet their strange counterparts and come to realize that something may be about to happen.

You can:

-Make SFW fanart! I would be so so happy to see fanart of my characters, alone or interacting with your AUs!

-do audios and tiktoks for them! Voiceclaims can be found here, since most of them sound nothing like the OG versions lol. Please be sure to credit me if you do though!

-Send asks! I may be a bit slow to respond, but it'd make me so happy to infodump and answer questions!

-Make OCs! None of them will show up in the official story sadly, as I already have a clear idea of how I want that to go. But you're still free to make them, and I'd love to see them!

-angst is ok, and gore too if ya want! I'll be doing that myself to a degree. Yol has blood like golden light (as well as some other anatomical quirks I'll discuss later) so I better be seeing some good glowy goo if ya do ;)

-RPs are ok, as long as you follow the rules I have set out below. I'll post more sketches at some point so y'all can get a better sense of what everyone is like :)

You can't:

-make NSFW fanart. Yes I know Clown has given the ok on that, but I find people making lewd of my characters deeply uncomfy and I ask that you please do not.

-Character AI, or any AI in general. I don't care how cute or funny you think it would be, DO. NOT. DO THIS.

- No xOC or xY/N please, at least not the romantic kind. Platonic interactions are fine, but shipping of that nature isn't really something I wanna be involved in or associated with. Also, no selfcest/wallycest, deardarling, or franklydarling.

Right, that should be all for now! All pages will uploaded in chronological order on my page under the "SafetySpace au comic" tag, with the related AU tag including all non-comic art as well. Please remember to be respectful, and happy fandoming!

Babylon 5 Rewatch - Survivors

This is a post I originally wrote several years ago for Mark Oshiro’s Mark Watches blog. I don’t really plan to edit them before posting, so there may be some references that don’t make sense. If you see words that look like gibberish, they are actually rot13, which was our way of discussing spoilers. There are plugins you can install to decode the text (Cryptext is the one I use), or you can copy/paste to rot13.com, or just ignore it.

This episode is pretty decent, although there are a couple of plot holes for those inclined to nitpick. [season 5] Gur znva guvat vg frgf hc vf Tnevonyqv’f uvfgbel bs qevaxvat ceboyrzf, naq juvyr vg’f onq rabhtu gb frr uvz snyy bss gur jntba urer, gung’f abguvat gb jung unccraf va frnfba svir. Ba gur bgure unaq, vg jbhyq unir orra naablvat gb frg hc fhpu n pehpvny cneg bs uvf punenpgre naq gura unir guvf or gur raq bs vg, fb tbbq wbo, WZF, sbe gnxvat Tnevonyqv’f nypbubyvfz fb frevbhfyl.

Ivanova is great in this episode. She doesn’t get much to do, but she makes the most of her few scenes. I love that she decides to do the maintenance check on the communication system on her own initiative in order to give Sinclair more time (even though it doesn’t do much good in the end). Also: “You are going to resist, I hope.”

Earthforce One is so pretty!

I think there’s an interesting moral question in this episode. Is Major Kemmer justified in risking Nolan’s life by waking him up for the possibility of learning more about what (or who) caused the explosion? There are a couple of factors at play here to make the question more complex. For one, at the point when she does this, they don’t even know for sure that the explosion was sabotage. It could have just been human error. They are able to prove it was a bomb, but not until later. On the other hand, Kemmer is the Head of Presidential Security, charged with making sure the station is safe for the President’s visit. With the possibility that this could be the prelude to some sort of assassination attempt, does that afford her greater latitude? Finally, she says that she read his file and he was going to die anyway, so she needed to get the information while she still could. This seems to me to be a pretty convincing argument, but Dr. Franklin is acting like he thinks Nolan still has a chance to pull through, so maybe she was just seeing what she wanted to see? I dunno, what do y'all think?

Nolan was lucky he was talking to someone who was already predisposed to believe Garibaldi capable of any number of heinous acts. Any reasonable investigation into the explosion would have turned up evidence of Garibaldi’s innocence/Nolan’s guilt pretty quickly. Speaking of which, it’s frustrating that it takes Sinclair and Lou Welch going behind Kemmer’s back to think of searching Nolan’s quarters. Surely that’s an obvious precautionary step to take?

Of course, now I’m thinking about it, and if Nolan had never accused Garibaldi, Cutter would have had no reason to plant evidence. They would have discovered the existence of a bomb, and probably would have searched Nolan’s quarters earlier, since he’s a reasonable suspect. And that would have seemed like the end of it. Nolan was dead, so there would be no reason to expect more sabotage attempts, and Cutter would have been free to plant the other bombs without suspicion falling on him. So I guess it’s good that everything worked out the way it did!

Favorite scene: Not one from the episode, but one from the blooper reel, although I hear it in my head every time I watch the real scene, so it might as well be actually in the episode! It’s the scene where Garibaldi goes to talk to Londo to ask him for a loan.

[blooper reel]

Tnevonyqv: “Gurl cynagrq n fpurzngvp bs gur onl naq n cbhpu bs Pragnhev qhpngf va zl dhnegref.”

Ybaqb: “Pra-gnu-ev?”

Tnevonyqv: “Pra-gbe-v.”

Ybaqb: “Cb-gnl-gb?”

Tnevonyqb: “Cb-gnu-gb.”

Ybaqb: “Gb-znl-gb?”

Tnevonyqv: “Gb-znu-gb.”

Ybaqb naq Tnevonyqv (fvatvat): “Yrg’f pnyy gur jubyr guvat bss!”

honestly please do talk about the favoritism stuff!! it makes me so upset

absolutely! since i am like a non existent blog, hopefully this won't be a do over of the last time we discussed favouritism, but haters, you are welcome to try. lol. 😂😂 first of let's start by saying that it is a thing, and if anyone tries to deny it then the door is to the left. make sure it doesn't hit you on the way out.

i don't know about y'all, but i personally see the same individuals, time and time again, get things / messages / special treatment and if i didn't know any better i would think he has like 7 fans in total, because how is it the same people all the time??

before anyone comes with their "he can't do this for everyone" bs, please save it, zip it and throw it away. it is very clear he can't possibly do this for ever single fan, but any time he does, it's the same bunch of people?? really?? … okay.

there's nothing for international fans and sure, he did say that he is working on the community number becoming international, there are things he could do in the meantime; a giveaway of some kind, a zoom call. you have a whole team and you can't think of a single thing? (his team is a whole entire other convo).

thank you for sharing. if anyone has anything else to say about this subject, feel free to contribute.

SEASON 2 CONCLUSION POST

Season 2 is such a wild wild WILD season and !!!!!!!

When you watch the last 5 episodes it's almost unbelievable the first 5 episodes happened. It was so long ago.

So much happens it's almost like you watched 2 seasons in one.

Can't wait for Jim and Yam to start dating but they're getting there <3 I think Jim has finally realized she's not into boys

My Lumon analyses will never end <3 I am viewing it from so many perspectives and I will stand that they make SO MUCH more sense than Lutteo. SO MUCH more.

But it doesn't mean Simbar doesn't make sense - I am just saying, if I didn't know at all what would have happened in season 3 I'd probably assume Lumon was endgame and Simbar was a "short cute thing but Ámbar needed to work on herself before having a relationship". Of course I would have loved them as endgame regardless (and their scenes in s3 are one fire) and I do also think that if Lumon was endgame people would complain that Simbar wasn't... it's always a discussion how it could have been.

Something I gotta say. The first time I watched the show I was afraid I wouldn't like Simbar, simply because I had fell so hard for Lumon. But then when I got to them, I absolutely 100% fell. I got it immediately. And I am happy I did, cause I'd probably have a harder time in the fandom if I didn't lmao.

But conclusion to this: Simbar and Lumon both makes sense, Lutteo does not. That is my personal opinion and not what others think.

Now, this really was the season of finding your identity, for Ámbar and Luna especially.

It's so FUN to see Ámbar's part of it, how she thinks, how she feels. I also find her relationship with Sharon much more interesting than in season 1. Because there's so many layers. Sometimes she wants to break free, away from her. Then she relapses and once again wants to be her godmother's perfect little girl. She wants affection and she wants approval, but she also wants to be herself, but if she is herself then she gets to face consequences for it.

My sexuality headcanons have really changed since last year, especially for Nina.

When I watched SL for the first time, it really felt like people were trying to convince me what I was supposed to like and what I was supposed to dislike. And people REALLY wanted me to care for the three biggest ships. I think I disliked Lutteo even more out of spite simply because people wanted me to like them. Simbar I really DID like, I could not deny them. And Gastina? I... like them, but I care less about them than people want me to.

Like, yes, they should have been endgame in s3 and yes, they were very cute in season 2, but now when I am doing my rewatch and I have ~asserted myself~ in the SL fandom, I need to say that I don't feel much of anything watching them in season 2. I am happy for them but I just shrug.

It's also that, in many scenes there in, something funny happens and I'd rather want to focus on the funny thing and people want me to focus on them, like no I want to focus on this funny thing I don't care right now that they had some "important" conversation HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT A FUNNY FACE THIS CHARACTER MADE, HAVE YOU SEEN THE BACKGROUND, HAVE YOU HEARD THE MUSIC CHOICE HAHA WHAT A WEIRD MUSIC CHOICE FOR A DRAMATIC SCENE-

Honestly this is why I sometimes have to put a disclaimer like "hey I know y'all like to discuss whatever gastina was doing but right now in this post I want to focus on the fact that the character in the background was dancing". It sounds like I find it super annoying - I don't, but sometimes I wanna keep the focus on what the post is about - and if it is about the background dance, then the topic will be about it. If I wanna talk about what they did in the scene, I would make a post talking about them. It's not just gastina ofc, this applies to all of them, I just used them as an example cause I know I did write this about them in a post.

This is when I can compare the SL fandom and the Violetta fandom - cause in the Violetta fandom we focus even more on the background stuff than anything. And so for example, if a ship is having a scene, we may have one post talking about the ship and then another post about the funny background thing. But in SL, it's like if you talk about the background thing people STILL wanna talk about the ship talking in the scene.

Sorry - I always sound passive aggressive. Happens every time I make a conclusion post with SL. I mean no harm <3 I am just comparing how I experienced things, how things used to be and how it is now. I feel like, now, the SL fandom has chilled down a little. But it doesn't mean I can't reflect on stuff that I feel has happened in my experience in my time in the fandom.

Amanda was robbed. I despise what they did to her character.

Honestly this show has a terrible treatment of characters with a disability. I don't like it.

Sharon going into madness <3 Love to see the development of her losing it more and more

Unpopular opinion but I LIKE Eva and Ada. Yes, they weren't good with roller band, but also ?? they remind me of Cami and I LOVE Cami and Cami would def come up with something like this and I think she's related to them

The songs in s2 were real bangers <3 At least 70% of them

To think, last year I bought a VPN so I could watch s3. Now s3 is out in my country and I can just go watch it <3

Now my friends, I have reblogged some underrated S2 liveblog posts that I have put in queue, as well as some S1 liveblogs, and they'll come up when you least expect it. In a moment, I'll start on S3! Which is funnily enough the THIRD time I am liveblogging that, one more than the other two.

Perle Morroni Olympique & Lyonnais Interview (January 21, 2023)

Blah blah standard disclaimers apply; @OL Comms all I want in life is a Starbucks medicine ball because COVID is not fun; Paul Wheeler was right about y'all and your actions only confirm it; you might hate social media but Perle Morroni hates it more; y'all know the speech.

Perle Morroni is criminally underrated and yes, I will die on this hill. If Lyon isn't able to convince her to extend then it will be criminal malpractice on behalf of Kang, Ponsot, Bompastor, and everyone else with signing authority.

But the Perle Morroni case also presents an interesting saga: for the most part, you have to be a top player to be recruited by Lyon. But there can only be 11 players on the field, which means you might not always start. So do you go to a team where you might not be a starter but they're capable of winning trophies, or do you stay at a club who isn't a title pretender but you get guaranteed playing time? What is worth more, winning, or a comfort zone?

Anyway, enough with the philosophical discussions.

Lyon - Perle Morroni: "The French National Team remains an objective for me"

Having found a certain amount of playing time again and performing better with Lyon, Perle Morroni still hasn't been called back up to the French National Team. The left back isn't obsessing over it, believing that her performances speak for themselves whilst talks regarding her extension have been taking place in Lyon.

Olympique & Lyonnais: One week later, Lyon is playing once more against Montpellier this Sunday (9:00 p.m.) in D1 Arkema in a packed calendar. Was this start in January not too difficult?

Perle Morroni: No, it's the opposite, it does us good. We started off with two wins (Paris FC in the league and Montpellier in the Coupe de France) so on the contrary, we were eager to start back up again.

Sunday, you will be returning to Montpellier, where you were born. Does it ever feel special playing against Montpellier?

It was more in the beginning where it was special because I was playing with PSG and I would meet them in the youth games. Now, it's been years, it's become normal, we often play against them so it's become the norm. They remain a solid team and are difficult to play against.

There was a preseason camp in Spain in early January. Was it important to start off this obviously important second half of the season?

Starting up against after a few vacation days, it's always a bit difficult, but we are with our friends again. We had fun in Spain, whether it was with the players or the staff. There is a really atmosphere in the group, it's been like that for a while, but this year, it's even more so.

Delphine Cascarino has been back with the group for a few weeks now. You two are close so this return must be exciting for you?

It's nice to see her on the field, touch wood, but I see she is feeling good, she is doing well physically and in her head there is only positive mentality. To have Delphine available, that only strengthens a team.

"I want to develop more as a left back"

On a personal note, you've played 17 games since the start of the season. A positive?

Obviously, it's nice to be playing more. When you're a competitor, you want to play as many games as possible, to win as much as possible. I've always given the maximum, I'm in a big club, but for sure on a personal note, I'm happy with this first half of the season, to be playing more so I can continue to progress.

For a while now we feel you are playing more freely, more confident in taking risks compared to last season...

It's when you play that you feel the best. The more you play, the better you feel on the pitch. You have good sensations, you're more "free" in your head. Lately, I've been playing consecutive games so I feel better and that allows me to get closer to goal the past few times. The players keep telling me I need to score so I'm shooting with more confidence, it might come eventually. It'll be nice to make a difference like that even if my role before anything else is to defend well. At this position, you have to be a complete player.

Defensively, it's rather encouraging to have only conceded five goals before traveling to Montpellier, no?

As defenders, it's one of the objectives we fixed for ourselves at the start of the season, trying and concede the least amount of goals possible. Beyond that, it's teamwork before anything else, even the forwards are involved. We can still improve because there were goals we could have avoided [conceding], but we're working with the staff to iron out the details.

You've been at Lyon for three years. How do you feel about it?

I arrived, I was 23, I'm 26 now, so I've grown as a woman and player. I only have positives in this adventure even if there were complicated moments. I feel better and better, I know myself better and better. It's been a good progression since I have been at Lyon and this season only confirms it.

"It's what happens on the field that should count, not social media"

Your path has still had a lot of ups and downs. How do you feel with it?

It's part of football. When I came to Lyon, I knew there would be ups and downs because it's a big club, but I am well surrounded by my family who really support me. It's part of your career as an athlete to have highs and lows, what's important is to get back up. When that happens, you become a force of nature.

This inconsistent playing time cost you a place with the National Team. Missing the Euros and the World Cup must have been difficult?

I handled it pretty well. After, it's true that I still had playing time last season, so I don't know if the head coach took those into consideration. It's obviously hard not to be selected, but I think I am in the best club in the world so I'm not worried about that. I'm pretty positive and I know it will come one day or another.

With your performances improving, are you paying more attention to the lists since the start of the season?

When you play at Lyon, you expect to be part of the lists when you see all the players surrounding you and they are getting selected. So you expect to experience the same thing. I look at the lists, but it will only happen by giving everything on the field, on giving your everything and winning the maximum amount of titles, be it with or without the French National Team.

Is the French National Team still an object?

When you are at the top level, you absolutely want to play with your National Team and that is the case for me. But beyond that, there are choices. I haven't really talked with Herve Renard but also, he has a lot of things going on.

"Lyon want me to extend"

The fact you are pretty reserved and less active on social media, could that play against you?

Maybe, but for me, it's performances on the field that should matter. Our talent should be there. But it's true where we're certainly in a generation where we are expected to be open with the media, or on social media. I'm not like that. I should probably improve on that for interviews, to be less reserved, but for the moment, I'm happy like this. The pitch is what matters.

Sonia Bompastor insists a lot on the psychological aspect. We get the impression she is often behind you, supporting you...

If she is supporting me, it means that she is counting on me, that she has confidence in me and she wants that I give my best when she sees I can do better, so I take it as a positive if that's what people think from the outside.

Beyond the French National Team, your future is undermined with a contract about to end. What will happen in June?

I'm focused on what is coming up in the second half of the season with all the matchups which are going to happen. But there are discussions with the club so it is nice that a big club like this one wants me to extend. I leave this to those in charge in and I concentrate on what is happening on the field. We'll see little by little what is going to happen in the future.

Would being a starter in another club to improve your chances of being selected something that you have to take into consideration?

My decision won't necessarily be based on the French National Team. There are a lot of elements to take into consideration, with my personal life, what is best for me, etc. I've been in France for a few years, but I am playing with a really big club with Lyon. There are a lot of things so that's why I don't like to think about it too much and when the moment comes, everyone will know my decision.

#all good love stories start in the rain #perle morroni #Paul wheeler was right about y'all and we need to talk about that #I hate social media but Perle morroni hates it more #doing this now as a coping mechanism for when the news about her injury drops

"13 Animal Facts That Ruin Disney Movies" Is Silly

The article I'm discussing

(Bit of an introduction, feel free to skip to the creamy center.)

These clickbaitey lists have always been a pet peeve of mine. Though I get a lot of amusement out of mocking them, so why not ramble to you, yes you and only you specifically.

Lets talk about the introduction for a sec

"From Timone and Pumbaa in The Lion King" (An excerpt from the article intro)

I'm sorry, WHO THE HELL IS "TIMONE"!? Oh boy oh boy, you know it's a good one when they mispell a character name already.

"Mushu in Mulan, these animals add humor and life to the films." (An excerpt from the article intro)

Are... are they implying Mushu the dragon is an animal? They never even try to give 'facts' about him, so it feels like mentioning him just defeats the point they're making about animal characters being neat. If they HAD to talk about Mulan, why not Cri-Kee the cricket?

"You won’t believe which beloved characters are actually based on real animals!" (An excerpt from the article intro)

Yeah, we'll see about that one chief.

I grew up on a good few of the movies mentioned, so I'll tell ya when my childhood starts crumbling, lets get into it.

(Bwhahahahahahaha, what a great start, and the image they chose! This has to be intentional)

Guys! G-guys! Come quick, Aladdin is ruined for me!!!

So, this is actually true and not presented facetiously. It seems like you can't really train them to stop, but like is this ruining the movie for y'all? I smell false advertising.

Also, I've seen some claims you CAN potty train them, so in the context of a Disney movie, mmm well consider my suspension of disbelief... unstretched.

(What the fuck bro?)

A good few of these fall into the genre of "If the characters acted like perfect little robots dancing along to whatever facts about their species I read: the movie would be SO different guys!1!!1!1!" I won't talk about a few of them, to avoid repeating myself.

If they were perfectly realistic, they wouldn't talk or think like humans (I'm refering to the anthropomorphized animals) even IF Marlin still has that instinct. That is the last egg he had with his beloved (and now dead) wife, and the other eggs are all destroyed, it is NOT any stretch of the imagination to assume he would raise this egg because of

1: his emotional attachment to it and

2: if he ate it, there goes his ONLY offspring, this would only really work if Nemo had siblings and/or we see other clownfish Marlin would be willing to mate with.

Anyway, a list of all the "wouldn't movie be so sad/scary/gross different if the characters didn't act in character?" Ones: 8 and 5

This is caused by boredom, Donald isn't bored, overcrowding (like in poorly managed farms, such as the ones that need beak trimming), or poor nutrition, Donald seems to have good enough nutrition

Also this essentially goes into what I was just talking about in the previous point, but frankly, most of them do.

(Sheesh Cracked, no need to talk to Simba like that, what'd he do to you?)

1: That doesn't ALWAYS happen (especially when the cub is also the fucking prince, you wad!). I watched a documentary (called 'Born in Africa' I believe, would recommend) and there was a lion cub debiliated by a broken back, but she was still being raised, not treated as gently as she should have been, but not abandoned. YET lionesses will sometimes abandon weak, injured, or malformed cubs and since exceptions NEVER happen that documentery is unrealistic, clearly.

2: I'm pretty sure the abandonment only happens while the cubs are very young and the lioness leaves the pride to raise them. That doesn't seem to happen in the Lion King, so we can assume the abandonment wouldn't happen.

3: He's the fucking prince, you wad! But sure, lets kill him because he doesn't have a sibling, not like he has the protection of the lion pride and the respect of the animals of the Pridelands. This is totally the same thing as wild lions real life.

(My poor heart can't take all this childhood-ruining!)

Ah yes, the other primary genre; the ones that are just plain silly, how could THIS ruin a movie?

Though I do wonder, why did they name him Flounder? Both in an in-canon and meta sense... huh.

Also, flounders are adorable!

(Fun fact: Because elephant metabolisms don't digest their food too well, their feces is full of nutrients which goes into the environment, through bugs, and plants, and such.)

This list is starting to feel more like "Thirteen weird and worrying facts about animal species which happen to show up in Disney movies"

Anyway, refer to the Flounder rebuttal.

I'm skipping number four because it comes down to what I've just said.

What? How does that even effect the movie? Are they saying the other rats being able to tell Remy's food isn't poison ruins the plot? THEY NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS POISON! They thought cooking food was frivolous.

Again, this is just listing animal facts which are maybe kinda tangientially related to Disney movies.

(Imagine the bottom text without the context of the image or top text...)

"Those wild clothes-wearing-mice are filthy, don't touch them!"

Specist, much?

Admitably I don't have the greatest counter to this one.

(What a coincidence, I've recently read/posted about meerkats)

Our friends at Cracked saved the best for last.

By insinuating Timon (Oh sorry) Timone is a mass murderer, did you not watch Lion King 1½!? Listen bud, you can misunderstand the word 'ruin', you can clickbait me, but I draw the line at failing to do the simplest research into the lore of the Lion King cinematic multiverse!

WE KNOW TIMONE'S BACKSTORY!

Okay, but maybe the writer denies the canonicity of everyone's favorite midquel, sure that's valid as hell.

But!

Female meerkats are the ones doing the killing, like male lions, they (mostly the dominant female) kill the offspring of other meerkats to try and give their genes a better chance of passing on.

So, are they insinuating Timone is not just a mass murderer, but also trans? You know what Cracked? You win, lets go with that! But I wouldn't say it ruins the Lion King for me.

Sigh BUT the theory claims he killed his meerkat friends, not newborns, so it doesn't correctly use the real life fact, I could accept Disney using a bit of creative-liscense, I could accept a fan theory using creative liscense (I'd eat the "Timone murderer and trans dude" theory up, if not for the midquel) but an article dedicated to talking about fictional characters following animals facts perfectly, gets no such privilege.

Outro

To clear: I bear no real ill will to the author of this article, it is a bad article, but at least it made me chuckle, and gave me something to rant about. Either way, I'm sure the writer is a perfectly decent person, good even!

And hey! They cited their sources, in some cases they seemed to not even read their own sources, but they cited them! And it is my belief that spreading knowledge an inherent good.

But they wrote a silly article, so I get to point and laugh, them's da rules.

Help I'm tryna write smut but Ugh it's so hard for me

Do ya have any tips??

-disney anon

Bestie why are you asking me?? I'm horrible at writing smut. I mean I know that I write a lot of it but I'm really bad at it.

Also obligatory NSFW discussion under the cut (obliviously)

Firstly, I think it's good to read other people's work to kinda get the vibe. Personally I really like Nia's stuff (especially this one and this one) but she doesn't go onto that blog anymore so (which is a shame cause I was really looking forward to the Corrupt!Sage in heat post she mentioned,,, yes im calling myself out for it but idc you all know I'm a pervert). There's that. Idk what other fandoms you're into so I'm not too sure who else to recommend. I could recommend some of my own stuff but that would be biased. If any of you wanna tell me your favorite NSFW posts I've done feel free to do so (totally is not being an attention whore I just wanna know what y'all like so I can decide how to write future smuts).

Secondly, identify the specific subgenre you want to focus on and look for works in that field. I would recommend using Reddit for research. Personally I'm not too comfortable watching irl porn, so I typically defer to hentai-based subreddits. Those also have the added benefit of (usually) being more comic/dialogue based, so you can get a good feel for what type of verbage can help you really set the right tone. Like, the way you're going to describe a soft, loving, vanilla scene (something like r/wholesomehentai) is going to be pretty different from the way you describe a BDSM session (r/hentaibondage is a good starting place). Personally I struggle a lot with being descriptive/vulgar because I get really embarrassed (yay intense catholic guilt and anxiety over sex /s) so being able to see examples can be really useful.

Thirdly, depending on how realistic you want it to be, do some research into real sex. I don't mean porn. If you're writing for a specific kink then try looking up guides on how to safely and properly do it. Don't be afraid to look for horror/fail stories. Not to bring up Reddit again but r/askreddit has plenty of threads where people talk about realistic sexual encounters, usually in the forms of 'whats the worst/weirdest sex you ever had' or 'whats something porn gets wrong about sex' or so on and so forth. Depending on what kinks you're writing about, I would highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the golden rules of BDSM, since it's pretty widely applicable. You could also do some research into the relationship between kinks/fetishes and psychology (especially trauma) if you wanted to go that far with it. Not really necessary for a simple straight-forward smut, but incredibly useful if you wanna highlight (or allude to) a character's backstory and how it affects them in the present or just their characterization in general.

I think the biggest thing is, don't be too self-conscious about it! Writing smut is hard. Even if it doesn't come out right the first time, you can always go back and edit it later. And it does get easier the more you do it.

Hopefully this is useful!! If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know!

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

The air was alive with everything Spencer had surprisingly missed for six years.

The metal of the chair cooled his legs even through his jeans, reminding him that while it may technically be spring there were still occasional days when winter refused to tighten its grip on the world. A gentle breeze carried the sounds of chatter from inside the coffee shop to the small seating area just outside it. If Spencer closed his eyes, the metal furniture and constant background noise of barely-hushed conversations would have fit in with his home of the past six years. If it weren’t for the chilled wind and the cup of coffee beginning to burn against his palms, he would’ve been shaking just as he’d done for the past two days since being released. So Spencer gripped his coffee tight despite the pain, clinging to the one sense of reality he still had left here.

If it were anything else, Spencer would have left already. If this wasn’t the person he trusted most in the world, he would have abandoned all hope for this situation—fleeing in any direction other than toward the noisy coffee shop that would now always be associated with sitting in the prison cafeteria but not eating for fear of someone catching him vulnerable.

This was Penelope Garcia though, whom Spencer had expected to see when the BAU came to collect him—instead being met with the news that Penelope had quit just three days after he’d taken the plea deal.

“Oh, Boy Genius, it’s really you.”

Even after so long, Spencer’s body still knew that voice. The sunshine radiated from each word, filling his cells with pure warmth unlike anything else. A small smile couldn’t help but form on his lips, relief entwined with that simultaneously new and familiar brightness—the feeling he got when he opened a book he hadn’t touched in years but still knew every word to.

This was his friendship with Penelope Garcia: it was home.

“I don’t think you can accurately call me either thing now,” Spencer half-joked as he stood, releasing a laugh that sounded a little more like a sigh.

“Hush, you’ll always be my boy genius,” Penelope admonished before wrapping him up in a tight hug.

Spencer had wondered if he’d ever be okay with a hug again. For six years, the only time arms were wrapped around him was when he’d let his guard down—when there was a terrifyingly real threat of spending his final few minutes on a dingy prison cell floor, bleeding and gasping for air. Each time he’d been rescued by pure happenstance—or maybe a cruel being who refused to allow him rest—and each time, he’d gather himself up and swear to never let another person touch him again.

Somehow, he’d forgotten Penny’s hugs. Spencer clung to her then, fingers digging into her jacket and feeling her do the same. He bent to rest his chin on her shoulder, gasping at the rush of undeniable comfort from one simple embrace.

“I missed you.”

The words didn’t feel like enough to describe the ache that not seeing his friend had given his heart. Sometimes it felt as though Spencer was better off drowning if only to be distracted from the memories of everyone he’d come to love in the past decade.

There weren’t enough words, though—nothing that could possibly sum up everything he longed to say in neat integers. So he squeezed her once more before they parted, hoping that time had not irreparably damaged their ability to communicate nonverbally, to look at one another and understand all the other was trying to say.

“I missed you too,” and the waver in Penelope’s voice was enough to ease his fears. “I’m guessing you saw everyone already?”

“Emily picked me up from...she was there when I was released,” Spencer explained, hands wrapping around his coffee that was cooling at an astonishing rate. “We went to the BAU first.”

“What do you think?”

“About what?”

“The team, being there again, I don’t know. What’s going on in that brain of yours?”

That was the magic question, wasn’t it? Spencer sighed, eyes dropping down to stare at the lid of his coffee cup instead of at Penelope’s watchful gaze. With her, he could say anything. It had always been like that—from the very beginning, he’d learned not to spend too much time around her when there was something he wanted to keep to himself.

“You want to know if I’ll go back,” Spencer answered instead, pulling a laugh out of her.

“You got me there.”

“I don’t know.” The weight pressing down on his shoulders eased with each word. Being with the team was like being reunited with his family again, but with every time they told him he’d be back in no time, Spencer felt that pressure grow until he was sure he’d lose all breath he’d saved up. They all just expected him to be back, to return to the life that had led him here. “I know I should.”

“You don’t have to do anything. You could start over, come work with me!”

“I don’t know that I would fit in there,” Spencer chuckled. The new job was absolutely perfect for Penelope—a civil rights organization to help those wronged by the justice system. It had been them who’d freed Spencer, in just a year even after the BAU had handled it for five. He knew they’d take him in, they’d said as much when they’d sent one of their lawyers. It wasn’t the best lawyer money could buy, but they were there for him when everyone else had given up. Still, all of these people were so young, so optimistic about the world. How could he step in there and potentially ruin their belief in the world with the darkness that seemed to loom over him ever since he’d become a profiler?

“The offer is always there, you know,” Penelope told him, and he knew, he did.

The two sat and talked for hours, replenishing their coffees and learning how to laugh with one another again. It was a relief, to sit and talk without the worry of someone sneaking up behind him, without worrying that the person in front of him now wasn’t working against him in some way. They didn’t talk about prison again, nor did they discuss the work they used to do.

That is, until the curiosity and longing bubbled up with Spencer, bubbling over the top and forcing him to ask what he’d wanted to from the moment he saw Penelope.

“Have you seen Y/N?”

The question seemed to shock Penelope as much as it had the one who asked it. Her body stilled, eyes wide and lips parted mid-story about Sergio. “Oh, honey,” she breathed, entire body deflating.

“Emily wouldn’t tell me, neither would JJ. They said I should talk to you.”

“Well, she...she didn’t want her life to be interrupted by the BAU again. She hardly talks to anyone who still works there.” It made too much sense. The unit had effectively ruined her life, had taken three years, and wasted all of it. He’d asked her to stay with him through all of the hardship being on the team brought, then pushed her away at the very worst of it all. “The only exception is Luke, but that’s because of me.”

Spencer had been shocked when the other man told him that news, that in the past six years not only had the two of them bonded but they’d actually gotten married. Spencer had hugged Luke, congratulating him on everything and trying not to think about the fact that he and Penny had always said they’d be involved in each others’ wedding, no matter what. He tried not to think about the fact that he should’ve been the one having the wedding.

“I need to know, Penelope,” Spencer sighed, raking a hand through the curls that had grown as unruly as his mind in the past few years. “I need to know if she’s okay.”

“She’s a lot happier now,” Penelope admitted, sending a jab of pain right through Spencer’s heart.

“What does that mean?” Had she been hurt after he left? He was meant to protect her, had something happened while he was away?

“Are you kidding? When you took that plea deal, we all mourned you. It was hard on her, but she’s finally found a life that makes her happy.”

It wasn’t what Spencer wanted to hear. The idea that he’d made everyone in his life hurt—that he’d made them go through the same mourning process he’d gone through when he lost his mom—made him want to curl his shoulders in and cry, to scream at the world for what they’d all been through. The image of you, sitting in the apartment you shared looking through photographs of memories that could never be repeated again, widened the cracks already set deep in his skin.

You were happy now, though. Spencer repeated the words in his head, letting them pinball around until he could really believe that you’d finally found that happiness you deserved, even if it meant you were fine without him.

“Would she want to see me?” he asked hesitantly, unsure of which answer he’d prefer. How would it ache, to know that you no longer even wanted to see him? To know that things had changed so much, that even when he felt that pull toward you, you were actively ignoring it. How could he see your happiness, though? It was clear you didn’t need him, that the happiness you’d felt with him truly was only temporary.

“I don’t know why you aren’t already going.” With a gentle brush of her hands, Penelope reignited the motivation in Spencer’s heart. He laughed and stood, stepping closer to her so they could hug once again. Talking with everyone had been wonderful, but there was something so remarkably healing about Penelope Garcia.

“Thank you, Penelope, for everything,” he told her, hoping she would. Spencer had never been the best at discussing his feelings, had learned to stuff it down deep until there was no sign of it. Being in prison, losing everyone and the ability to tell them how much he loved them, had very nearly broken him.

“I know, Wonder Boy,” she told him, “I know.”

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

It takes twenty minutes to get to the bakery.

Everything is exactly as he remembered. The gentle light blue and white awning over the front door, giving perfect shade to the little patio that was still as full as ever. The first time he’d walked by it, nearly ten years ago now, it had reminded him of peace. It was the childhood happiness, the blind safety felt at playgrounds where for a few hours a day, everything was perfect.

The inside is different; the chairs and tables are rearranged to afford more space for guests and though there’s the same number of people working, Spencer recognizes none of them. You always hired young high school kids, those who needed some extra support or guidance. Even when it took up so much of your day, you’d help them find the right path for them, find what makes them passionate just as you’d found baking.

The kids he used to see here must have all moved on by now, leaving this sanctuary to find the places they can call home.

Though everything looked nearly the same, Spencer hardly recognized the place. Where there were once bright smiles and loud exclamations when he walked in, now there was a glance up and a tight mandatory smile. Spencer used to walk in here and be able to chat to the workers, to make sure they were doing alright before they’d help him surprise you. He used to be known here, and now he was just a stranger.

“Hi, welcome to Y/N’s, how can I help you?” the young woman at the front counter asked as he approached. She seemed to look over him, taking in his hands shoved deep into pockets and the way he rocked on his heels.

“Um, I’m actually looking for Y/N.”

“That’s funny, sir,” the woman said, giving a light breathy laugh before looking at him expectantly. “But what can I get you?”

“No, no, I really need to talk to Y/N.”

“Okay,” the woman sighed, “but just so you know if you’re another one of those weirdos who think they can talk to her just because her name’s on the sign, I’ll call the cops.”

Thankfully, she pushed open the door separating the counter and the kitchen, shouting, “Hey, Y/N! Some guy’s out here asking for you.”

Was this a bad idea? What if you didn’t want to see him? You could come out from the kitchen, give one look, and demand he leave. Maybe you would even look at him, simply forcing him out of your life the same way he’d shoved you out of his.

None of that happened. Instead, the door opened again and suddenly you were there in front of him. Time stopped for nothing except maybe your beauty, giving him time to take in how much you’d changed and all the ways you hadn’t. There were signs you were older, more experienced. You were tired, little dark circles hanging beneath those same eyes he used to stare into in wonder. You once held a large bowl of something chocolate, but the moment your eyes met his, the bowl was being dropped from your hands. The liquid spilled everywhere—all down your blue apron, across the floor, and spattering up on the counters. Still, you didn’t move, simply looking at him with hands still outstretched, still trying to hold onto that bowl that had long since fallen.

“Y/N,” Spencer breathed, the name sounding like music from his lips. It had been so long, so painfully long since he’d seen you. He’d spent years wondering how this moment would go, spent countless nights dreaming of a version of today where you accepted him back with open arms. How you told him you miraculously hadn’t been hurt, that everything was perfect then and everything could still be perfect now.

“Colette, can you help cover for me? I need to take a break,” was all you said, voice hushed.

Even when the other woman rushed back to the kitchen to alert the staff, you stood still. You simply watched Spencer, making him shift even more where he stood. Should he be making the first move? Would it scare you, to have him stepping forward now? What could he possibly say to the woman who at one time had been his fiancée—to the woman he still wanted to marry, if only he deserved as such.

“What happened to ten years?”

It wasn’t the reunion Spencer was expecting. He’d been prepared for anger and resentment, joy and relief, but never once had he thought to prepare for this cool indifference. All at once, you shuttered your body up, closing him out of the thoughts he used to read so well.

“Penelope and her team proved I was innocent,” Spencer explained, “she didn’t tell you?”

“She said they were working on it but I asked her not to tell me anything else about it,” you answered, confusing him even more. How quickly could things change? One moment he swore he knew everything about you. With just a look, he knew what you needed. Now he felt lost, stranded amongst all of these things he used to know but had long since lost. Why didn’t you want to know about it? Why didn’t you come to see him, when you knew Penny was working on getting him out? Why not, unless you truly had found happiness without him?

“It’s good to see you,” Spencer said, wishing there wasn’t a bakery counter between you. It reminded him of the glass that separated him from the outside world each time someone came to visit. How no matter how physically close you may be now, there would always be something keeping you split from him.

“I didn’t think I was going to see you again,” you told him, taking his heart and splitting it in two. He could practically see the lifeblood flowing over your lips, evidence of the pain caused by this one decision. Whose was it, yours or his—a mixture of both, cruelly tying you to him despite all he’d done to you.

“Can we talk?” When would things become easy again? Spencer missed the way conversation always flowed with you, how he never had to think about if he was saying the right thing. What would he give, for everything to simply return to how it had been? There’d be no hesitation, you would run over and wrap your arms around him, and for once he wouldn’t mind the way he’d get covered in chocolate because you’d be there.

Instead, you stayed on the other side of the counter, hands working on untying the messed apron and tossing it out of the way.

“Yeah, I think we have a lot to talk abo-”

“Mommy!” A shrill exclamation cut you off. Immediately your entire demeanor changed—eyes brightened so much Spencer wondered how he didn’t notice how dull they’d been when you looked at him, your entire face softened to make way for a brilliant smile.

Before Spencer could process what was happening, you rushed out from behind the counter like you always used to for him. You stepped just beyond him where a little girl with gorgeous curls leaped into your arms. It was a beautiful thing, watching you laugh and swing her around.

“Hi, munchkin,” you cooed, “how was school?”

“Good, Miss Jefferson said I can read big kid books next time ‘cause I read all of ours,” the girl explained at such a lightning speed Spencer wondered how you could possibly understand her.

“I’m so proud of you, Florrie. Now, why don’t you go pick out a treat and go sit with Colette, yeah?”

“Okay, Mommy!” the girl giggled before rushing over to the counter where the dessert case was held. “Colette!”

“Is that little Miss Florence Reid I hear?”

Colette wouldn’t know, but those words were enough to absolutely crack and shatter everything Spencer knew about the world. Florence Reid. This little girl, who had more energy than he’d ever had, who had shining hazel eyes the color of honeyed amber, who clutched onto her book like it was her lifeline. This darling girl, who looked up at her mother like you were the world, the same way he’d once looked at you.

This darling little girl, who looked to be around five or six years old—who had his last name despite him having never seen her before.

“Y/N,” Spencer began, and the haunted expression taking over your face was enough.

“Spencer, I—”

He turned, waiting until little Florence had disappeared into the kitchen, practically taking the sun and all of its joy with her. Then, and only then, did he turn to face you again.

“Is that my daughter?”

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

Despite what you had thought for years, mornings had come to be your favorite part of the day.

They were gentle, the epitome of peace where you struggled to find it anywhere else. It was beautiful, those careful few moments that began each day. You could lay in bed, watching the sun light up your room through the shades of your window. You’d watch the rays creep across your bed, warming your skin when it finally reached you.

It would be then that your morning grew even better, impossibly so. Then, right then, your bedroom door would open and the absolute light of your life would step in. She’d be clutching her favorite stuffie, curls looking wild around her face. She’d rub the sleep from her eyes and crawl up into bed with you, snuggling into your waiting arms.

You would lay there and wonder how you were ever scared of having her. You would hold little Florence Reid close, wishing you could keep her here forever.

This morning was like any other, you brushing your hand over her hair and wondering how long you could stay in bed for.

“Mommy?” she asked, voice bright as the sun.

“Yes, baby?”

“Can I stay home today?”

You laughed, knowing your little girl would never stop trying this. Each day began the same—with her cuddling up to you and convincing you it was better for her to not go to school.

“Why do you want to stay home today?”

“We have to play kickball today in gym,” Florrie announced, looking at you as if that were the most perfect explanation ever.

“Kickball could be fun, you should try it.”

“But Kyle’s gonna be on the other team and he’s good.”

“Honey, I love you so much, which is why this isn’t gonna work,” you told her, tapping her adorable little button nose. The button nose was nearly a perfect carbon copy of her father’s, a perfect reminder of all that you wished she could have. Sometimes when you looked at her, a reflection of her father shone back from those eyes—a deep hurt would curl around your heart, tugging at all of the wounds that had been slowly leaking for six years.

She didn’t need to see any of that hurt, though, so instead, you’d smile, press a kiss to her forehead, and stand up from bed. “Come on, up and at ‘em,” you said, smiling as Florence listened and crawled out of bed.

“Will you make me pancakes?” she asked, already sprinting across the hall to her room. Every morning you helped her get ready. She picked out an outfit and you held in the laugh at the adorable attempt. It was an easy fix, picking up the little shorts and picking out some that would match better instead.

“I bet Teddie made you pancakes on his way out.”

Sure enough, the moment you two stepped downstairs the smell of maple syrup and pancakes filled the air. How many times had you laid in bed awake, wishing for a perfect morning such as this? You only wanted once, one beautiful morning that you could hold onto forever. Truthfully, you’d pictured it with another man at the stove and hugging your daughter.

“Hey, good morning, Floss,” Teddie cheered, sliding a plate full of pancakes and whipped cream onto the table in front of her. “Are you ready for school?”

“Yes! We get reading time today and I’m gonna finish the last book on the list.”

“Really? Look at you go, Smarty Pants. I have to go on a business trip for a couple of days, but I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back,” he told her.

It warmed your heart to see someone care so much for your daughter, to accept you and her in so easily. Teddie wasn’t Spencer—he wasn’t a whirlwind romance that happened so fast you could hardly believe it. Maybe that was okay though, maybe you didn’t need someone to sweep you off your feet and give you a love at first sight moment. You didn’t need a soulmate, all you needed was someone who was steady, who could promise to be there and actually mean it.

You could love Teddie, you could be happy like this.

So you smiled, pressing a kiss to Florrie’s head and wrapping Teddie up in a hug. This was your family, your life that you’d fought tooth and nail for. It wasn’t everything you’d once dreamt of, but dreams were just that, weren’t they?

This was life, and life meant finding happiness in who stayed.

Spencer was pain, was heartbreak, and strife. He was making even the simplest of situations impossible difficult.

Teddie was easy, he was everything you needed. Teddie was happiness now.

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

“You can’t tell her.”

The words clenched tightly around Spencer’s heart, stilling every thought racing through his mind. Here he was, steps away from this little girl, his daughter he never knew existed. How could he not know for nearly six years? Was there not some kind of feeling, some change that happened when someone became a parent?

“I need to know her, Y/N. She’s my daughter,” Spencer pleaded, leaning forward on the table as if proximity may help his case. You’d sat at a table in the corner of the bakery after you said something to Colette, likely telling her to keep Florence far away from this conversation. “She’s my daughter.”

The words sounded strange and right on his tongue. For years he’d worried over it, had constantly pleaded with himself to make a decision on if he wanted kids. There was so much to worry about, so many things that could be passed down, so many ways he could mess up. It took one look at Florence and he was in love. It was as if everything in the world suddenly made sense, like all he needed was little Florence Reid to make everything worth it.

“I wouldn’t keep you from her, Spencer,” you reassured him, causing a relieved sigh to fall from his lips. “But you have to understand that she hasn’t had you for almost six years. I have to protect her in any way I can, so just...give me this, okay?”

“Will she ever know? Or will I always be a family friend?”

“I...” You trailed off, eyes shifting to look at the ceiling as you gathered your thoughts. Was it really so bad, that you were considering never telling Florrie who her dad was? What had you told her so far? Did she know her father was a convicted criminal? “If you stay. I need to know you won’t hurt her, that you won’t leave again.”

“Y/N, I was in prison. That wasn’t my fault,” Spencer immediately protested, though what he didn’t expect was for your expression to get impossibly more hurt.

“You know I wasn’t talking about that.”

“Did you know, when I ended everything?” Spencer asked.

“You don’t want to know the answer to that.” No, he didn’t. This non-answer was enough—it tightened the vice around his heart and made him want to rage against everything that you both had been through. How was it fair? Why couldn’t he have had a perfect fairytale ending? He could’ve had you, and he could’ve held Florrie as a baby and promised to protect her from everything. Instead, he was sitting here with you trying to prove he wouldn’t be the one hurting her.

It wasn’t fair.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve...”

“You couldn’t have done anything, Spencer,” you sighed, admitting the truth that he was trying desperately to forget. His heart began to race, his body shook with every pain he’d fought to ignore while in prison. If he’d thought about it, he would’ve broken in seconds. He’d made it six years like this, fighting against anything that could hurt him.

He couldn’t fight against this. “Y/N...”

“I didn’t want you to worry. I didn’t want you to feel bad that you weren’t there, and I didn’t want you to feel obligated to care.”

“Y/N, I cared. I would’ve cared, I could’ve known her. I could’ve helped in some way,” Spencer tried, begging you to understand. “She could’ve known she had a dad who loves her.”

“You left,” was all you said. Two simple words, enough to spike hurt deep in his chest. Spencer knew he had. He remembered the conversation like it had just happened, the single moment that changed everything forever. It could’ve all been different. He could’ve had a family.

Instead, he’d sit here and feel like he was more like his father than he’d ever wanted to be. He became everything he feared, all at once. How terrifying, for it to be so easy to become everything he swore he’d never be?

“I’ll fix this, Y/N, I promise. I’ll make this right for Florence.”

“You better.”

“Mommy, can we go home now?” The little girl of the hour ran over, tugging on your jacket until you laughed, standing.

“Of course, baby. Let’s go.”

“Who’s that?”

“This is Spencer, munchkin, he’s a good friend of your Aunt Penelope’s. He’s gonna be staying with us for awhile,” you explained, causing Spencer to stand shell-shocked in front of you.

“I am?”

“Of course. I’m assuming you haven’t found a place yet.” When there was no reply, you knew what you’d said was right. They’d had to get rid of his apartment after so long, and now it was becoming increasingly difficult to find a new home. Nothing had seemed right, not after losing the apartment you two had built your relationship in.

“Hi, Spencer,” Florence waved sweetly. It ached for his daughter not to call him dad, not to even know they shared a connection. He was here, though, and that was far more than what he deserved after everything.

“Hi, Florence.”

“Do you like stars?”

“I love stars,” Spencer answered, a soft smile pulling on his face. Florence had grabbed his hand, walking with him on their way back to your house. The entire time, Florence spoke. She talked and talked, much like he always had. Sometimes Spencer would interject with a cool fact that would make her gasp and wave her hands excitedly, but mostly he would listen. He would listen to his brilliant daughter and thank all of his lucky stars that you were such a wonderful mother. Spencer didn’t know how you did it alone, but he was so thankful you had.

And that night, when Spencer was getting ready for bed in the guest room, he heard it.

“But Mommyyy,” that tiny little voice whined from the hallway.

“Honey, no,” you sighed. It was easy to tell you were exhausted. As adorable as they were, kids could be difficult. Even now you spoke to her, trying to coax her back into bed. “I can read you a story.”

“But I want Spencer to!”

“Why?”

“Because he knows stars! No one ever talks to me about the stars,” Florrie admitted, and it was enough for Spencer to let out a little noise. It was far too easy to remember being her age, to be filled with so much knowledge about the topics he loved but having no one interested enough to talk to them.

“I talk to you about the stars.”

“You’re my Mommy, you have to.”

“That’s true, Baby,” you laughed, and Spencer could imagine you were shaking your head in amusement. “But unfortunately, I don’t think Spencer knows how to read. He can’t give you a bedtime story.”

“That’s not true, Mommy,” Florence protested, and that sassy attitude was enough to pull Spencer from bed. He padded out to the hallway where sure enough, the two people most important to him now were gathered right outside of a door with brightly colored drawings on it. “Spencer! Will you read me a bedtime story?”

Spencer immediately looked to you, where you were watching him with a look he couldn’t quite make sense of. He’d never seen it on you, but it didn’t look upset. So he smiled and said, “Of course, but only one then you have to go to sleep. Is that a plan?”

“Yeah! Thank you, thank you!” Florrie cheered, sprinting into her room and leaping into the brightly colored bed.

“Thank you, Spencer,” you whispered to him, filling his chest with confetti at the thought that he’d done something right here.

“Thank you,” he answered before stepping into Florence’s bedroom. He was so thankful for the chance to know his daughter now. He couldn’t have back all of the milestones he’d missed, but Spencer could have this now. He could make sure Florence knew that she was a miracle, that she was the hope for a new kind of happiness.

“Alright, Florrie, what are we reading?” he asked, sitting down in the chair that was far too small for him next to the bed.

Tears sprung up in his hazel eyes at the book she pointed to. It was torn and frayed a little in the corners, evidence of the love it had been given for so many years. Spencer picked it up, opening it to where the little silk ribbon kept the page marked.

“You know, this was my favorite book as a kid too. My Mom used to read it to me every night too,” he told her. He missed his mother so much. Spencer wished she could have met Florence, could see that he had found a family, could see that he had done something right by the world.

“Mommy says my Daddy loves this book too,” Florence answered, breaking his heart even more. Spencer wanted to tell her, wanted to scream to everyone that he was the lucky man who had a daughter so wonderful. “She says this one is his.”

It was easy to distract himself and Florence by reading. Spencer held the book open but was looking at Florence as he read. After so many nights reading this book for comfort, he’d had every word memorized. Instead, he wanted to map the face of his beautiful little girl, to make sure he never forgot what she looked like. He may have gone six years never knowing she existed, but he would love her now. He would be a good dad for her, and most importantly, he’d never be his father.

“Mommy’s right, you don’t know how to read.”

“How so?” Spencer laughed as the chapter finished. He remarked the page and set it aside, shaking his head at the statement.

“You don’t look at the book when you read.”

“I know what the book says already,” he answered, “Goodnight, Florence.”

“Goodnight, Spencer.”

He almost made it out of the room. Spencer stood, making sure the nightlight was flicked on before he made his way out of the clean room. He was just grabbing the doorknob when he heard it—the soft question that would repeat in his head all night.

“I miss my Daddy even when I never met him. Do you think I’ll ever meet him?”

What could he say? What could he possibly say to ever make this right? Would you be mad in the morning, knowing that she had asked him about her dad?

“Maybe, Florrie. I don’t think you should give up hope, I’m sure he loves you brighter than all the stars combined.”

“You’d make a good daddy, Spencer.”

There were no words. Spencer wanted to cry—he did cry on the way out, harshly wiping at the salty tears slipping down his cheeks.

He would lay in bed that night, thinking about how much his life had changed in just one day. Spencer had thought the most painful thing he’d experience was being in prison, but today only proved how wrong that was. Standing there in front of the daughter he never knew he had, telling her that maybe someday her dad would be there to love her, that would crush him for days to come.

You were happier now without him, but he could prove that he could bring you that same joy. He wanted to share that happiness with you.

Spencer went to sleep with the thought that he had to do better by Florence, and he had to do better by you.

There was simply no other choice.

Can we get some dream smp fandom positivity posts? As someone who posts mostly analysis and has never once had someone say anything rude in response, I think we perceive the fanbase as more toxic than it is because of a few outspoken individuals. Y'all are pretty chill and I like you.

In no particular order-

I love that Eret’s fans come up with such cool theories, I swear she could give you two sentences of lore and I could see three five page essays on what it could mean about their character within an hour and each of them is unique, intricate, and makes logical sense.

I love the compilations Foolish fans make of him doing ridiculous things on stream, he’s a fun guy that never fails to make me laugh and everything I see from them embodies that energy to me.

I love how creative Hannah’s fans are, you take the awesome ideas she has and turn them into the most amazing designs and concepts.

I love that Techno’s fans might write a ten page essay about his character or just say they enjoy watching him do crime, and you never know which it will be because both come from the same people.

I love how Philza’s fans embrace everything he does with so much enthusiasm. His chat is a flock of crows? Excellent, they can work with that, you will see fifty incredible pieces of art and a hundred theories in the first hour and they’re just getting started.

I love that Niki’s fans are so careful to pay attention and not miss any details. It has been ages and I still see occasional mentions and theories about the “Dear Friend” letter.

I love that Fundy’s fans are very empathetic, they love to find and elaborate on the connections between characters and that’s pretty cool!

I love Tommy’s fans for their energy. They seem passionate about making things right and hopeful that no matter what your situation is things can get better. I’ve seen so many breathtakingly emotional art pieces from this side of the fandom.

I love that George’s fans unapologetically simp for him but then catch me off guard by making deep insights about his character.

I love how Bad’s fans are as genuinely sweet as he is, they’re willing to really look at everything that makes up a character and see the tragedy of it and have compassion about things. And some just want to see an egg rule the server, c'mon, it would be funny.

I love the running gag with Skeppy fans of making Skeppy critical posts, y’all are hilarious.

I love how Purpled fans play up his lack of lore as him being an incredibly powerful cryptid, and they’re right. He totally carried the wither fight on Nov 16th.

I love the balance Quackity fans have between a love of humor, justice, and darker topics. I think like Quackity they are often underestimated and thought of as the jokester side of the fandom to an extent, and then I start reading things they write and it’s well thought out and insightful.

I love that Tubbo’s fans love chaos, cute things, or both to an unhealthy extent. Seeing anything from them reminds me of princess unikitty in all the best ways, and then they turn around and throw a super in depth meaningful analysis at me in the next breath.

I love everything about Sapnap’s fans. Y'all are perfect. The writing and art from the born in fire line? Gold.

I love how Jschlatt fans are generally chill and just enjoy whatever they want to. Their favorite Manburg president was the one who publicly executed his right hand man and gave Dream a resurrection book for firepower, and he looked good doing it.

I love that Callahan has fans. You people are dedicated and I respect it. The fact that Callahan was one of the first names to pop up when everyone was trying to figure out who Harpocrates was even though he rarely involves himself with plot? Your influence knows no bounds.

I love that Alyssa’s fans are simply too powerful. She hasn’t played on the smp since way before I started watching and there are still people defending her barn and drawing pictures of her.

I love that Antfrost’s fans have taken so many ideas and just ran with them and made them awesome. Like him practicing magic? Perfect, he now carries potions and gets a wizard hat.

I love that Dream fans look at a character who has been portrayed as pure evil from many points of view and understand that Everyone has motives based on their situation, even if it isn’t handed to us in an easily understood way.

I love how Jack’s fans are so ready to support any action he takes. Crawling out of hell? Incredible. Killing a child? Good for him! Go team Rocket. Grieving the same child? Learning healthy coping, he’s the coolest.

I love that Connor eats Pants fans are the most reasonable people in this fandom. This is terrifying. Thank you for your service, you always make me smile.

I love that Punz fans unapologetically just love their capitalist mercenary. As they should, his presence always tips the scales and everything he does brings more depth to the characters and plots he interacts with.

I love how much Ranboo fans love complexity. Most of them aren’t afraid to admit that their favorite characters are flawed, because aren’t those flaws what make them interesting and relatable?

I love the variety of Hbomb fans. Half of them may be embracing the cat maid bit while the other half goes on about how impactful and cool L’cast is, but they’re all super chill.

I appreciate that Puffy fans take the time to understand so many perspectives. So many posts I see involving her tie in lore from other characters and find interesting ways to connect them and build them together, kind of like Puffy herself.

I love that Wilbur fans seem to approach the story like they’re solving a puzzle, carefully piecing together details from months apart to figure out how and why everything goes down.

I love how hard Ponk fans work to spread awareness of how awesome he is. Ponk says and does wonderful things and is very fun to watch. I never would have tried his content without them.

I love that Karl fans saw him wanting to be involved and started coming up with such cool ideas around his character that they actually made them canon. Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t the time traveler thing a fan theory at first?

I love the creativity Sam fans have with his design and their willingness to discuss complex moral issues. Sam is involved in some heavy lore stuff but he and his fans keep things entertaining and calm.

I’m sure I missed some things, please feel free to add on!

Damnnn your 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐭. 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐲𝐮𝐮 𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐬 post hurts like a bitch *sniff*

Can you maybe make a part 2 where the boys realize that they loved y/n all the time but realized it too late when y/n found somebody who loves them too ( maybe a friend of them who comforted them right after what the boys did/said )

Yes I wanna see them suffer >:)

i did not expect requests for pt2 but y'all really surprise me every time but here we gooo also thank u so much for the love on the HC and requesting!!

PART 1

⟡ 𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 searches through the halls of the library with a book in hand ready for you two to discuss but seeing that she's taken a toll on his interests and claims it uninteresting and the only person that could ever enjoy it as much as he would was you—it was inescapable to read every line where his thoughts were filled with you but when he sees you focused on whatever passage you were in with a man looking at you with eyes glimmering in love as he scoots closer to you. It then turned Akaashi's heart into knots as the book about second chances in his hand was returned to it's aisle— how ironic.

⟡ 𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐔 watches as you talk with Suna from the other table as Osamu throws him a glance, curious as to why his stare carried a band of emotions his twin hasn't shown ever since he met her. Osamu thought Atsumu was preoccupied with the new girl but he never confronted him on how he always longed for the table where you and Suna sat so he didn't stop the blonde when he walked over to your table while he hears your laughter that covered his call to you, exactly how he never heard the crumbling of your own heart that was now owned by Suna.

⟡ 𝐁𝐎𝐊𝐔𝐓𝐎 walks with his team, the trophy held mighty and proud in his hands but comes to a pause when he sees you walking away. He smiles, there's that comfort in his chest knowing you could've watched him like before so he walks your way, that burst of glee when you smile at his presence. "Congrats! Hey I really wish I could've watched you guys." you say as there's a drain to that joy while he gripped the trophy in his hands as he cocks an eyebrow, "Then why are you here?" he carefully asks, "For me obviously." a man jokes beside you making you roll your eyes as there's an arm to your waist as Koutaro turns away with the pain equaling to the impact of the ball to the floor.

⟡ 𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐎's smile never left his lips the moment he received his diploma while he searched for you in the sea of students. It was no doubt a freeing moment to be filled with celebrations and the future that awaits. Being impatient to reach you, he runs to you before speaking "So where are we off to?", you turn to him with a chuckle, "Go where exactly? Anyway, I can't today. I wanna celebrate a little." He then softly wraps his hand around your wrist as he turns to you with a smile, "Celebrate with me?" He asks while you shook your head, creating the distance to the point he's let go of you as he watches another man wrap their arm around your shoulder.

⟡ 𝐈𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐙𝐔𝐌𝐈 wonders why there's a skip in his heartbeat when he watches you and Hanamaki. You've always kept that smile whenever you were with him and there's that strike to his consciousness knowing he'd pass up the opportunity but who was he to back down? So when the night strikes and he's walking with you, he anxiously reaches for your hand—carefully intertwining it as he stares at the ground before whispering "You were never just a friend." You look at him dazed but with a relief in your heart, you answered, "I don't think I'll ever settle with that."

⟡ 𝐎𝐈𝐊𝐀𝐖𝐀 pants in the gym as he struggles to breathe but when he sees your figure at the entrance—he runs. With every will and what's left of his regret to love you ended up being translated into his arms that were wrapped around you tightly, like a threat to what he's got to lose. "Tooru? Are you ok?" You asked, the same voice that he's missed since there was no possible way to replace the way it brought serenity. You returned the embrace no matter the pain he held you with but then he spoke "No. I'm never ok when you're not with me." In which your warmth brought light against his eyes, the grip he had on you was then promised to never loosen.

⟡ 𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐀 was anxious. He's never felt it before knowing with you it was always easy but now that you were constantly apart from him—the days where he slept peacefully began to plummet. So at the end of every match, your phone never rang which didn't help the case of the man who was late to love you but when there's that sound meaning that picked up, he's never been more eager to speak but when he's heard your voice in the distance with a soft chuckle following suit as another man spoke before you took the phone from his hands. "Rin?" You asked, while on the other line—Rintaro felt the silence grow as it was replaced by the call being ended knowing he couldn't bare another second.

⟡ 𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 was unbothered by her stories as she sat beside him per usual. He wasn't in the mood for whatever gossip she found from a celebrity, he only wanted to look at the window behind her that was the view that you always loved. So when class began as she had to leave, his eyes follow you unknown to the way his heart could've danced at the sight of you. He waves shyly, a signal for you to take the spot he's missed to see you in but when you smiled at him only to sit next to someone else, there's the song in his heart that stops knowing he was the one who left first.

Ikevamp Napoleon Cottagecore aesthetic 🦋🤍

~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~

I know y'all get bored from this idea but I have actually more detailed life with my man Napoleon.

Also this Idea belongs to @xxsycamore and here's the original post feel free to read it before you start reading mine❤.

~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~

After 9 months from your relationship with Napoleon, you and him decided to move for some privacy and to start a new life together.

It was an exciting idea since Napoleon told you that he's ready to settle down and start a new job.

You wouldn't complain him because you know that some privacy is important for your relationship with him.

He found a beautiful home 5 km away from the mansion.

The house have two floors, with a special view to the garden.

Hand in hand you walked side by side with Napoleon and he was fairly happy with a warm smile on his face.

Carrying you into the house while kissing you at the entrance.

"Welcome to your house nunuche"

Smiling at each other you know that your life with Napoleon start now.

Every morning when the sun shines and its rays inter from the window of your bedroom, you wake up next to your lover Napoleon.

You yawn "Leon wake up, Baby, honey, dear" shaking his shoulder.

"Hmm" he turned to face you "Come here"

Pulling you closer to him,"Kiss me now my beautiful girl".

"Put you should wak-" and he pressed his lips against yours.

"You're so sweet baby" looking at his eyes, "No You're the one who's sweet Leon".

You decided to make the backyard as a garden, so you can have a nice view for a tea party there.

Swimming in the lake that is near to your house in the summer so you both don't get hot.

Having fun there would be a thing too.

You climbed on Napoleon's back closing your thighs around his waist with a childish laughter you hold him tightly. "Hold me tight nunuche, we're going to fly" and then he step back a few steps and then he run towards the lake and with a high jump you splashes the water all, "Are you okay?" He asked "I've never been more happier than this moment" you answered. Grabbing him by his hair "I love you Napoleon, I adore you so much" you said "Me t-" you grabbed him with a passionate kiss on his lips "Hmm" you moaned in his mouth. Your nails digging in his back you broke the kiss. " When did you become so bold nunuche?" He wrapped his arms around your waist "Since our first night together" you said "hmm let me tell you how much I do love you" cupping your face and then he pressed his lips against yours all over again.

If you know how to cook Napoleon would find it quite helpful.

And if you don't you'll probably wash the dishes after every dinner you eat together.

It's fair that Napoleon loves to share household chores with you.

He'll chop the woods every winter.

I can see him loves to cuddle beside the fireplace in the winter with a cup of hot chocolate next to you both.

He is very understanding man who need honest and strong girl to handle his new life with him.

I see that he loves to hear how was your life before you traveled across that door.

He'll discuss every single topic with you no matter what it is.

You like arts? He's already now a couple of things about this stuff.

Poetry? Books? He already have readed a lot of books to discuss with you.

Social matters? Yes he is a big fan of helping people and he know well what are their problems and pain.

The only thing that would really annoy you if you wants to live with Napoleon is his firmness.

He loves everything to be tidy and clean 24/7, who knows that the emperor of Europe has such a firm lifestyle.

Expect his sleeping habits, you'll have the best man when it comes to keeping up with every day tasks.

And he isn't ashamed of helping you with house chores like cooking, cleaning and shopping for food.

And he started to have his own work to earn money.

He will help with washing clothes and it would be a funny time.

You sat on a small chair in front of Napoleon, A big bowl and the wash board was ready near the soap so you can wash clothes. You bring up the bottom of you dress to above your thighs revealing its soft flesh. Napoleon were taken by the sight of them but you wouldn't mind anyway and he started to tease you with that. "Are you trying to seduce me! Aren't you?" He teased "Napoleon please we have clothes to wash here, please think of them not me" you said "mmm you want me to think of those clothes instead of you nunuche? Well I don't mind that but my eyes literally eating those thighs of your" and he attempt to touch them "Hey you stop now, your hands are wet and full of soap, h-hey that tickles stop, Napoleon".

Napoleon have never ever felt the peace before your presence and now you're around him, he is happy and at ease.

How you chuckles when he tease you.

And how you smile when you woke up in the morning with him asleep next to you side-by-side.

He got this life and don't want to lose it.

Also I can say that reading under a tree beside the, him cuddling you to his chest with a book in your hand.

He smiles and kiss your head whenever he felt like he is in a mood to tease you.

He'll say that your voice is beautiful and you're really vocal especially during your intimate relationship.

And you would close his mouth with a kiss telling him that you're ready for him whenever he want to do the do with you.

At night he love nothing but his nunuche in his arms in front of the fireplace with a soft melody from the gramophone that playing around.

Ask Answers: August 8th

Well, doing big posts all together worked for a while but lately I’ve been putting it off because it takes a long time to get them done. I think I’m gonna try switching back to answering asks whenever I can fit it in and posting them one at a time instead of waiting until I’ve filled out one of these major collections.

But for now, here’s more ask answers! Thank you for the questions and for all the kind words along with them ^^.

Hello!! I'm here to ask if its possible to get the game and its dlcs on steam and play it on android?

I’m afraid not. Steam doesn’t have Android builds on their own site and Steam is not cool with keys for other sites being given out for Steam purchases, so you don’t get the Itch version from buying on Steam.

Hello! Sorry to bother you but, I had a question, if we buy the Game on itchio do we get steam keys or would we need to purchase it twice?

You would have to buy it twice if you want it in both places, I’m sorry. To repeat myself a little, Steam doesn’t like the key trading thing. Itch may support giving keys for another site, but the reverse isn’t doable with Steam and Steam doesn’t even really want you to get a Steam key for buying somewhere else either. So we just don’t mess around with that.

hey, sorry if this is frequently asked, but is step 4 free dlc or paid for? some of your sources are contradicting each other.

It’s free! There’s a paid wedding DLC, but Step 4 itself is entirely unpaid.

Hello! I just had a quick question, for the Baxter and Derek DLC's will we be able to confess our feelings to them or let them confess to MC? or will it only be one way? (they confess to MC)

Both type of options will be available!

Hey there! I wanted to ask whether or not the Derek DLC is still on track to be released in August since on the steam discussion board it says it will be released mid 2021. I totally understand if it isn't, I'm just really looking forward to it! If you answer then ty! And keep up the amazing work :D

It’s not, aha. Unfortunately, 2021 wasn’t easier than 2020 as we hoped so things are still slower than planned. It’ll come out late 2021 or early 2022.

Hi! Firstly I just want to say that I LOVE Our Life. I have played a bit of similar games but this one instantly wins for the best one! Everything about it is amazing! I just wanted to ask if Derek would ever lose feelings for MC, like if they make the deal and then MC gets with Cove would he move on? and even if you don't, after "losing contact" would his feeling fade or would he still like MC?

If you don’t really keep in touch with him and clearly move on with your life, Derek will too and he’ll be over it. But if you are still close as best as you can be, he’ll still think the MC is special. Though, he’ll always support your relationship with someone else if that’s what’ll make you happy.

Hello! Sorry if you've answered this before but: 'How's Lee related to us? Though which momma? And does she share our player-chosen last names? Also, do you know if Noelani took Pam's last name or did it happen the other way round?

She’s related to Pamela and Pamela’s last name is the one they use, so the MC has the same last name as Lee.

Will we be able to choose which (they or he) we tend to call Qiu by more often, or will it randomly change depending on the moment?

Qiu knows which pronoun they’re comfortable with at a time and you’ll call them what they’re happy with. And it doesn’t change between lines, it takes multiple scenes or even full Steps for it to switch. So for extended periods Qiu will be totally a guy or fully agender.

Will Step 4 of OL2 have moments?

It’ll be an epilogue like it is in OL1, so it won’t have a bunch of different Moments.

Hello! Just a quick question, is Sunset bird from OL1 based on a real location? If so what's it called? I wanna visit it +_+

ps i love your games so much <3

It isn’t based on one specific town you can go to, but there are a lot of little coastal towns in Cali that have a similar vibe!

Heyaaa ( I hope you're all well ), umm… it might seem kinda stupid to ask but did Patreon members can have a key for the dlc's ( all the steps-released dlc ) even if they became a member this month or later ? (me? saying this cuz it's my case? maybe ;-;), and once again thanks for absolutely all the amazing works on all the games ! u-u

You wouldn’t get the DLCs for backing there. The Patreon is for extra bonus content/early access, rather than being a storefront to purchase the normal DLCs. Rarely we give them out as a side gift, but it hardly happens and if what you want is the DLCs it’s best to ignore the Patreon and buy keys for those directly from Itch or Steam. I’m sorry for the confusion.

Hey y'all, love what youre doing w/Terry. Trans rep outside of player customization is so rare and important to see more of so thank you so much. I do have a question and its that does he have a canon sexuality? I know Miranda was said to be straight ace but I dont believe anything was stated for Terry probably because he wasnt revealed to be a guy which changes things. Im also curious if well get answers on how long hes liked Miranda since he may have liked her in step 3 before she liked him

Terry likes women and Randy likes men! And he did like Miranda back in Step 3.

Will the Wedding Dlc release at the same time as Step 4?

They’ll come out separately with Step 4 releasing first.

I really love Our Life so much! I've spent over 20hours playing it even though I only got it a week ago! I was wondering if I could make a fangame for Our Life with a different love interest but same plot. Next-door neighbors romance, multiple steps, etc? I'll probably make it on Google Slides though-

Sure! I hope you have fun with it and I’m glad you love the game.

How does Cove feel about poly relationships?

He’s got nothing against them for the people they work for, but he’s 100% monogamous and would only be comfortable with a partner who was willing to be monogamous with him.

Idk if this has been answered before but will Step 4 include the option to advance your feelings towards Cove?

Yep, you’ll be able to determine your feelings and what your relationship is.

In step 4 will there be a chosen to say we live with Cove even as just friends?

Yeah, you can choose to live with Cove and that can be done when you’re friends.

I just played the game with the MC and Cove being best friends and omg it’s still so damn cute like the wholesomeness of it all is too much for my heart I swear ^.^ Now with that all said I was wondering can we still marry Cove? if we only love him as a friend like let’s say we’ve made deal with him similar to the one we can make with Derek because let’s real no one could compete with what the MC and Cove have even if they aren’t in love.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the friendship story! You can live with Cove, but you can’t marry him platonically. Cove has familial affection for the MC if they’re best-est friends. He wouldn’t think to marry someone he loves like family and even grew up with as though they truly were siblings.

Are you still going to be making a DLC for XOBD? :]

Yes! We’re slowing adding voiced lines and fixing errors.

It makes me laugh that Shiloh's last name is Fields because that's what I put as my last name! So in Our Life when he talked about "Ms. Fields" picking him up I was extremely confused, lol. That dude mimics personalities so much that he stole my surname!

Oh, wow, that’s a very funny coincidence, haha.

hi !! i cant seem to be able to get the scene where mc is able to propose to cove despite being at the 'love' stage and telling him i'd want to get married, are there any other details that im missing out on? the options just dont appear at the end...

Maybe you missed telling Cove you were in love with him even if you mentioned wanting to get married or you might’ve accidentally said earlier in the game that you don’t want to progress your relationship further with Cove. We haven’t removed them, so you can get the scene again. It’s just kind of easy to miss since there’s multiple requirements. You can read a little guide in the FAQ.

wait what di you need to do to be able to propose to cove? I've been trying but haven't had much luck

You can check out the FAQ linked above!

does cove only develop a crush on the mc if the mc is also at crush/in love with him?

Technically, yes. We treat the non-romantic relationship options as truly non-romantic since we don’t want to bait and switch people. But there’s nothing wrong with headcanoning that Cove does have feelings developing for the MC even before the MC has.

Is there a way to make/allow Lee and Baxter to date?

No, they just don’t have enough time together.

We also got a group of asks related to Tamarack in OL2, but I’m afraid the way they talked about people with larger bodies made me not want to post their words, even if the person didn’t say they’re trying to be hurtful. I will separate out the core question and answer it though, so people can know that info.

Does Tamarack lose weight in later Steps?

No, she doesn’t. As for the other questions included, to be honest, I don’t have to explain/defend having romance options of different sizes. I’m sorry if you’re dealing with unhappiness that’s connected to body image, if that’s where the negative emotions are coming from, but even so I can’t meet you on that level and pretend it’s a problem that needs an answer. A girl who simply isn’t thin being a main love interest is just not an unreasonable concept. Also, Tamarack isn’t a lesbian. Yes, she can date a female MC, but that doesn’t undo her actual sexuality, so I’m not sure where that one part at the end was coming from.

I wonder... can we "fight" with Qiu over leader status? 👀

Not really, haha. No matter how cool your MC is, they’re never gonna replace Qiu for the other kids around. So you can either partner up with him, follow him too, or not be a part of all that group politics stuff.

So when I play the game, sometimes I mentally call Cove “Covie/Covey” and that made me wonder, how does Cove feel about being nicknamed? Not like Romeo/Space Cadet/etc. but like pet names relating to his actual name

It’d depend on his age, personality, and your relationship with him! When he’s younger he’d probably be embarrassed, when he was grown he’d probably be more casual or happy about it.

will you be able to date baxter in step 3 while at crush with cove (but not dating him ofc) sorry if this has been asked already. i really love baxters step 4 design btw!!

Yeah, you can be crushing on Cove and date Baxter if you weren’t already dating Cove. You just can’t be truly in love with Cove and then switch to Baxter.

I just got my friend into our life, and they adore shiloh and derek sooo will there be more of them in the second game?

I’m afraid not. But you can see plenty more of Shiloh in XOXO Droplets/XOXO Blood Droplets, haha.

I see you haven't gotten any xoxo droplets asks recently but I'm still obsessed with these boys!! I was just wondering if Nate would curse under any circumstance?

Yeah, Nate does use certain swear words (damn, hell, bastard) on very rare occasions.

Hi there! I have a question about the wedding dlc. Will we be able to plan a honeymoon during the planning stages of it or would it be something that Cove and the mc would rather plan later on? Thank you! Absolutly love the game by the way, definitely one of my favorite games!

The focus will be on the wedding day itself. The topic of the honeymoon might come up a bit, but there won’t be any choosing of the exact location and such.

Hi! I have two questions and it's completely understandable if you only answer one/neither and I'm sorry if you've already answered either before! First, is there a set year in which OL:B&A takes place (ex: Step 1 being set in 2010 & Step 2 being set in 2016, etc.) or is it simply up to interpretation? Second, have you guys thought about doing a coming-of-age game where the MC has a tough home life or upbringing? (like one of their parents is an addict, a parent being transphobic whilst the player has the option to be trans, or having friends that are influencing them to do drugs, etc.) That's all! Thanks for making beautiful games. <3

There is a set timeline!

Step 1: 2006 Step 2: 2011 Step 3: 2016 Step 4: 2021

And we don’t currently plan on making a game like that. The Our Life series exists to be a safer environment for people to play around in and if we did do a brand new series that was harsher edged it’d be something more fantastical and/or plot-driven instead of a different type of modern day slice-of-life growing up story. I’m sorry.

i don’t know if you’ve already answered this, but do you have a guess on when phase 4 will come out? as well as ol2? i’m so excited for both of them, the inclusivity in this game is amazing, you guys should be really proud of it!

Step 4 will be coming out very soon! OL2 is gonna take until 2023 to be anywhere near completion. But we might episodically release the Steps one at a time as they get done instead of waiting for three to be finished before launch like we did with the first game.

Hello, I was curious if there was an official or unofficial discord server for the game?

We do have a discord! You can join by clicking this link HERE.

how long do you plan to keep ol's patreon running?

Hopefully for at least a few more years.

Are you considering ever making merch?

Yeah, but I don’t know when it’ll happen or what exactly we’ll make, aha. It’s something we want do, just nothing is set.

hi! i just found out about your game a couple of days ago on tiktok (so sorry if you’ve already answered this question) and i was wondering if y’all are ever planning to release it on iOS?

I have no idea. It’s hard for a small group to get Apple approval and I honestly can’t say if it’ll ever happen or not. Maybe someday, though!

Hi, I love the art style of Our life and I would like to know if the artist has a Twitter? Also, could it be possible to fund more CGs for the game from him/her? So many times, I wish there was one like when the cutscene of the sunshower.

That’s nice of you to offer. He doesn’t have a Twitter, at least not one that’s public enough to be shared with me. And I’m afraid not. The issue is that the CGs take huge amounts of time rather than there not being a budget for it. He’s gotta make CGs for Step 4, the DLCs, and new character sprites, too. There isn’t space in the schedule for even more. Sorry for that.

Hi, how are you?!

Are you planning on accepting new writers or is it always the same people who write your stories??

Thanks!!

Our Life: Beginnings & Always won’t be getting new writers, but we will be hiring a new team of writers for Our Life: Now & Forever eventually!

perhaps this counts as nsfw and I'm sure it has been answered before but what does Cove prefer, chests/boobs or butts? or perhaps both :3c thank you for this wonderful game (and the patreon bonus moment, it was worth all the waiting and more ♥)

He’s a “chests of all shapes and sizes” kind of guy, haha.

i was wondering- did any of the writers actually grow up by the beach? as someone who's lived in a beach town all their life it really did feel nostalgic to play through our life 1

I was born and raised in Cali! Though, not right by the beach. We still had to make trips out, but the setting is based on my own childhood memories of small beach towns we went through.

In Derek’s upcoming DLC, will we be able to reference the pact we made as teens? (love olba and xod/xobd so much btw you’re literally amazing)

Yep, you will be able to talk about that!

Oh, sorry about the Cole being secretly L ask, then!

If you wanted context: Death Note is about this one guy who finds a notebook that kills anyone who you write the name of in there. The guy eventually develops a God Complex and starts mass killing criminals and stuff. L is the one trying to find out who is killing all these people.

Me and my sister first joked about it because I couldn't remember how to translate a word about the way Cove was sitting, so I just did the pose, and it looked a lot like how L himself sits! Then we just snowballed from there, with more and more nonsense connections.

That’s okay! Thanks for explaining. I’m sorry I didn’t know what you meant.
