“You know how much school means to me.” (Grayson)

Requested by anonymous: “One where Y/N’s dating G and besties with E, and she’s really stressed out about school bc it’s the time of year where everything’s piling up, and bc of all the stress she gets into a big fight with both the boys over something trivial? And the next day they both show up to her house with resources and stuff, and they help her study?”

“Alright everyone, the study guide is posted online. Begin preparing for the exam next week.” You professor said to the class as you all left.

“I swear that’s all I’ve heard from my professors today.” Your friend said to you as she caught up to you.

“Same here. But, I’m holding a study session for this class at the library tomorrow night.” You said.

“I will be there.” The two of you both had a break in your days so you got something to eat before you had to get to your next classes.

Later that evening, you were holding a study session for one of your other classes. This was something that you were sort of known for. After a few slip ups with your grades when you started school, you cracked down on your study habits and after you began sharing them with a few of your friends, your other classmates wanted to share your study tips and habits, so you began holding study sessions for pretty much all of your classes since your second semester of your freshman year.

“(Y/N), thank you so much for setting these up. I really appreciate it. If it weren’t for these study sessions, I would not know anything that is going on in class.” One of your classmates said as they sat down at the table with you.

“I’m glad I could be of service.” You laughed. You and your classmates studied for a few hours and once you all felt like you’d done enough studying for the night, you all called it night and headed home.

As the days continued to go on, and the work continued to pile up, you began to get crazy stressed about everything. You were cancelling your study sessions over and over again, and you felt so bad, but you could barely find the time to study for yourself, much less with anyone else.

“Don’t worry about it. We’re all busy, and we all understand a heavy workload. Do what you gotta do. You’ve already done so much for many of us, we’ll be alright.” One of your friends said. You apologized once more, and headed home to get some work done. A few hours passed, and there was a knock on your front door.

“That better be my pizza.” You sighed as you got up. You opened the door to find Ethan and Grayson standing outside. “You’re not the pizza guy.”

“Ouch, kinda hurt.” Ethan laughed as you hugged.

“Oh, sorry. I’m just starving.” You said. Grayson pulled you into his arms and pressed a kiss to the top of your head. “What are you doing here?”

“You told us we could take you out to dinner tonight.” Grayson said as you followed him into your living room.  

“Dammit, another thing I forgot about. Guys, I’m so sorry, but I can’t tonight. I have so much homework and studying to do.” You said as they made themselves comfortable on your couch.

“(Y/N), come on. Take a break for a little bit. Come hang with us for a while.” Grayson said as he pulled you down into his lap.

“I don’t have a while to spare.”

“I told you she wasn’t gonna go for it.” Ethan sighed.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” You asked, raising an eyebrow at Grayson.

“I thought I could convince you to come out with us tonight. You’ve been so busy with school, you barely have time for anything else anymore.” He sighed.

“Anything else, meaning you?” You asked. He looked down at the floor and let out a loud sigh.

“You canceled our plans over the weekend, so we rescheduled for tonight, and now your cancelling on us again.”

“Grayson, you know how much school means to me, and you know how badly I want to get my degree and get a good job. I’m sorry that you think I’m too busy for you, but you know it keeps me busy around midterms and finals. That’s not my fault.”

“Of course, when it comes to school, it’s the only thing you’re allowed to focus on.”

“Why are you so upset over the fact that I want a secure future?”

“I’m not upset over that, I’m upset over the fact that you apparently no longer have time for me anymore.”

“Grayson, do you not hear how childish you’re sounding right now?”

“You can’t put this off for ONE night so we can spend some time together?” Grayson said, standing up.

“Grayson, calm down.” Ethan said quietly, causing you to jump since you’d forgotten he was there.

“Yeah, why don’t you go home and calm down. I’m over having this argument because you feel like you’re the only thing I’m allowed to focus on.”

After the twins left, and your pizza finally was delivered, you tried to refocus on your studies, but you were too distracted so you decided to call it a night.

* * *

The next day was Saturday, so you were ready to spend all day studying. You turned your music on, got your books and materials, sat in the living room and got to working. A few hours went by and all you could think about was your fight with Grayson. Just as you picked up your phone to call him, there was a knock on your door. You got up to answer it, and the twins were there on the other side.

“What are you two doing here?” You asked quietly.

“We are here to help you study. We found textbooks at the bookstore, we’ve got food and drinks, and we’re gonna get all these reviews and papers done.” Ethan said as he set up his things in the living room.

“Also, I needed to apologize for that conversation we had last night. I was being a total ass about everything. I don’t know anything about being in college, but I do know that school can get stressful. And I’m sorry for making you feel like you had to choose between me and your studies. I should’ve been more supportive.” Grayson said.

“I’m sorry too. I should’ve been more understanding of how you felt. I’m real bad about letting school consume me and not making time for anything else. But, I will try and be better at keeping my commitments. Especially when they come to you.” You said. Grayson smiled down at you and pulled you into his arms. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He said, kissing you softly.

“Alright, now that you two have kissed and made up, let’s get to it. We’ve got concepts to learn and definitions to memorize.” Ethan called from the living room. You laughed and went over to sit next to him, hugging and thanking him as well. They helped you study for most of the day, and as you finished more of your papers, you couldn’t help but smile, thinking about how grateful you were to have them in your life.

So you're telling me, they just left his body there? In the upside down forever? That no one cared or mourned but Dustin? That they let him be called a murderer and cult leader with no one fighting back against those allegations? That max can survive several broken bones and a whole standoff with vecna but Eddie dies in vain to fulfill some heroic redemption arc that wasn't necessary? He deserved better than that. Fuck you stranger Things and the way you introduce characters just to kill them off.

You are the only one of my followees that I set alarm on new posts.

Anywhoo I’m certain that you’ll have 1000+ asks same as mine, but here goes: I was hoping to see your thoughts on J’s performances on the finale.

Top grade acting.  This was one of Jensen’s best performances.  He’s always his strongest when it’s about Dean and Sam’s angst.  

The shock of the traumatic wound kept most of the pain at bay, similarly when Sam was stabbed in the back in season 2 and Sam barely had time to feel the pain before dying.  Dean could feel his life draining away and took several shallow breaths to draw more oxygen in to keep himself going because he wants to spend the last few remaining minutes with Sam and make sure his baby brother will be strong enough to move on.  Because as the dad/big brother, he needs to make sure his family will be okay.  

Jensen kept his voice low, even, and soothing because 1) Dean needs to keep calm to keep Sam from losing it completely, and 2) Dean needs to save his strength to focus completely on Sam and Jensen performed masterfully by eschewing most of his acting tics except for his expressive eyes and nuanced facial expression.  Gone is Dean’s bravado, Jensen distilled Dean down to his core and we saw his vulnerablity when he begged Sam to tell him it’s going to be okay, his faith in Sam’s strength, and his last breath.  He can finally rest and be at peace.

Sam mourning Dean’s passing is different from Dean’s previous violent deaths that were brought on by scheming angels and demons.  This time it was the same kind of deaths that fells most hunters, so gone are the desperation and rage and helplessness and replaced by quiet grief and sarrow.  Jared played Sam’s grief as a person with a hole in his heart, his movements slower and his voice barely audible because he’s living with half-functioning organs as he tries to remember Dean’s earlier lesson:

Sam honored Dean by living his life and we see him smile for the first time when he held his son, Dean II, in his arms.  This is the Sam we are used to seeing and we see it again when he plays baseball with his son and again when he tutors his son and looking proud, his son soaking in Sam’s pride and joy.  We see the quiet grief again and when a much older Sam sits in the Impala driver seat, grasp the steering wheel and feels Dean’s promise that he will always be with Sam.  Now a geriatric, Sam quietly dies with his son by his side watching over him.  He leaves with some reluctance because he doesn’t want to leave his son but he knows it is the right time.  Through these scenes Sam never spoke but we know everything he is feeling.  After 15 seasons we know Sam so well in part thanks to consistent writing and Jared has always been very good at conveying Sam’s emotions without using words and the montage of Sam’s post-Dean life took full advantage of it.

currently imagining Elain coming back home after a long day and seeing Lucien passed out on the couch, wearing a “kiss the fox” apron, covered in flour, his hair in a messy bun, and his clothes disheveled.

when she looks in the kitchen she sees her favourite pastries and treats laying on the table (looking a little wonky, as if unsure fingers had been shaping and molding them) and softly smiles at the welcome surprise

I think we need to talk more about the belief that Gojo has his Infinity up 24/7...or more like the fact that I think we misunderstand what kind if barrier Infinity actually is.

In the manga, from what I remember, when Gojo describes being able to have it 'on' constantly he describes it as analyzing incoming objects and people and stopping anything harmful/lethal. NOT that he has a constant barrier over his skin to prevent contact.

I mean he manually activates Infinity when Utahime throws her tea at him. So that means the tea and cup wouldn't be auto-blocked because it wasn't considered a threat(or maybe to prevent having to constantly work around his CT when drinking/eating) or that he has Utahime and things she touches on a 'safe' list that Infinity doesn't properly register as a threat.

When Yuuji asks Gojo to bring down his Infinity for back slaps, that implies that it's not usually up when Yuuji touches him/he doesnt usually encounter it when touching Gojo(and my boi is physically affectionate with Gojo from what the manga and anime shows).

Yuuta mentions Infinity being ungodly finicky when he's fighting Sukuna and I remember him mentioning having to anaylze/see all of the attacks coming at him. This implies that Infinity is not an actual 'field' but that it 'targets' things that are trying to reach the CT user.

What makes Gojo so 'untouchable' isn't a barrier field, but rather an internal program that is constantly analyzing things in his vicinity and classifying them as 'threat' and 'non-threat'. Which makes sense why he has to have RCT running all the time as I assume this is nearly CONSTANTLY frying his CPU.

But it kinda scuttles the whole 'he doesn't let people touch him' thing, which, very untrue? My man is slinging arms around shoulder, hugging Yuuji and generally poking and pal'ing around with people constantly.

It DOES however lend itself to Gojo being hypervigilant(Oh? PTSD, I know her), and a bit paranoid under his careless exterior.

Idk, sometimes I think about it and I just think my sensei is a touchy kind of guy and that sometimes HC of him can just come up with things that are categorically false? At least from my memory.

The whump is delicious tho.

I haven't seen anyone talk about the fact that Alastor canonically calls Lucifer "Daddy"

hey btw there’s nothing wrong with shipping your ocs with canon characters. or shipping yourself with a canon character. even if you have a crush on the character. you are hurting literally no one. you can do whatever you want. cringe culture is dead
