In Other News, Writing Fanfiction Still Takes A Lot Longer Than I Expect It To.

Is After 5 out yet??? Cant wait to see it... through Dylanisintrouble absolutely ROASTING it

Guys. Oh my god. I restarted my phone cause it was glitching out and when i clicked my chrome for some ao3 time instead of seeing the smiley face in the corner of the tap that shows how many tabs you have open (samsings give you a smiley face after a 100 instead of a number)

THEY WERE ALL GONE. GONE!

Im feeling genuine grief. Shock. Disbelief. Some of those weren't bookmarked, weren't finished or saved for later what am i gonna do???? Go find them again???? I dont even remember them! All i know is that i loved them! Isnt that enough? To keep them?

Shiro, recently moved in with Adam and worried about Keith living in their old apartment all alone: *on the phone* What did you eat for breakfast, Keith?

Keith: ... bread.

Shiro: just bread?

Keith: it had sauce.

Shiro: ...

Keith: and cheese. and meat.

Keith: I had prizza for breakfast. from last night.

Shiro, packing a bag: I'm moving back in.

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

this is what it looks like. This is Mr. Hippo. Keith loves him and Mr Hippo loves him too. he's got a patch on his nose, to the left, and on his back. One of his legs was also replaced and the fluff on his tail is so ratty. Keith literally cannot sleep without him.

Keith's got a teddy. He's had it since he was eleven. He found it on the side of the road, and despite Shiro's protests, took it home with him. He fixed it up, patched it where there were holes and gave it at least three washes in soft detergant. Shiro wasn't impressed with it in the beginning but he liked it in the end. It was a hippo. Keith called it Mr. Hippo. He took it with him everywhere.

He got made fun of for it in the Garrison, his roommate saw it and told his friends, but Keith didn't care. Mr Hippo was his friend and he was going everywhere with him, no matter what. At sixteen years old, he still slept with the teddy and was unashamed of it. He couldn't sleep without it.

At seventeen years old, Keith flew away in a magical space lion and they had zero expectations of going back. Mr. Hippo was still in the shack. It was the main reason why he couldn't sleep on the castle, despite what Lance wanted to believe, and the main reason why he went to the training room and then passed out. If he couldn't sleep without it, then he could pass out without it.

Throughout the whole ordeal with Voltron, Keith didn't miss things on earth. He was exactly where he wanted to be, a pilot and in space and he had Shiro back. Everything was exactly where he wanted to be, where he was supposed to be. Keith wasn't made for life on Earth, he was made for the stars and now that he was here, he would never leave. But he did think about Mr. Hippo. He even thought about asking Lance to knit him a plushie to look like the hippo but he shut that down immediatly, unwilling to talk about his secret teddy that would no doubt be used to humanise him.

Shiro most likely wouldn't make fun of him for it, he probably would have smiled a little bitterly and reminisce on the life they used to have.

When Keith got back to earth, he visited the shack where he stayed for a year. Everything was the exact same as how he left it, conspiracy board up and string tied to it. Shiro's clothes that he arrived in lays on the ground in the makeshift bedroom, forgotten and deserving that position. He didn't dare to open the fridge, afraid of whatever would have formed in his oat milk. On Keith's bed, however, is something he could never forget.

Mr. Hippo.

A little dusty, but otherwise the same. Keith smiled softly and reached out to hold it gently, feeling something in him settle when he felt the familiar change of fabric on the back where he patched it with some pink curtains Shiro was throwing out. His stitching was bad then, and it had to be replaced many times over the years, but Mr. Hippo stayed the same. He stayed the same plushie Keith found on the side of the road, abandoned and left to rot in the dirt.

Keith brought him back to the Atlas where they were staying and Shiro did smile when he saw it. Lance didn't make fun of him for it when he brought it into the bed later on, and Keith slept better than he ever did.

Bella in the movies: bland, fragile, barely any emotion, madly in love with edward and has virtually no flaws because shes a husk of who she could be, clumsy and ditzy

Bella in the books: sarcastic, highkey autistic, still clumsy, finds flaws with edward but loves him anyway ig, steals a car to save her mom, always feeling something like confusion, sadness and frustration towards the peeps in her life

GUESS WHAT

THEY LIKE ME BACK!!! IVE GOT A GIRLFRIEND OMG IM SO HAPPY THEYRE SO PRETTY GUYS

Having a crush on your friend is so awful because u want to tell them so badly but you also dont want to ruin whatever you have you know???

And like im useless at feelings and judging how someone else feels but my sister told me that the banter we have is flirting???? And i didn't know?? Are all wlw this useless at the job or is it me?

Anyway, i think i might tell my friend about the crush because i shouldn't be a bitch (my sisters words not mine) and i think, THINK, they might like my back so we'll see how it goes???
