I’m legitimately mad everytime I see poorly executed Hufflepuff merch / non existing Huffelpuff merch even tho I’m a Ravenclaw myself because that house is just soo underrated (that getting mad kinda is the case because as a Ravenclaw I definitely know that feeling of nonexistent merch tho ^^“)

Loving you Isn’t an Accident | Diego Hargreeves x Reader

Prompt: “Christ, Y/N, I missed you too.”

Word Count: 381

Damn Diego straight to hell.

You hadn’t spoken to any of your siblings for twelve years, yet Diego seemed to take it personally, shattering any semblance of having a normal family reunion.

He could at least try to pretend, you thought, everyone else is.

“You know,” he started leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, “you look really good, all things considered.”

“All things considered, what is that supposed to mean?” you asked turning sharply, ready to spit fire at your most annoying, but quite possibly favorite brother. Instead you faltered, you faltered because of the way he was hunched over as if he was about to cave in on himself. You didn’t think it possible a single person could hold so much sadness within them.

Seeming to notice your once lazy stare turned analytical he stood up straight, “I don’t know. I just expected you to look the same, I guess. You always seemed so much softer, so hopeful.”

“Yeah… well, I’m not seventeen, and I sure as hell don’t think I can change the world anymore,” you swallowed sorrowfully, the past twelve years slamming into you like a freight train. He stepped closer to you. In the same way you might approach a stray cat, afraid the slightest movement might send you running out of his life forever.

“For what it’s worth, I always thought you could,” he said giving you the slightest nod.

Fuck it, you thought. You’re so tired of how awkward and clunky this conversation feels. You used to spend hours talking to Diego, telling him every single hope and idea you had for your life, now… now you can barely look at him.

You barreled into him, wrapping your arms as tight around his torso as possible, “I missed you.”

He held you close trying to absorb you into his bloodstream, like you could be the glue to hold him together. His hand drew circles around your back in a way that felt all to familiar.

And you were crying.

Crying because you hadn’t seen him in twelve years. Because you had no idea seeing him would hurt this bad. Because you didn’t want him to disappear again.

Crying because you only felt right when he was holding you.

“Christ, Y/N, I missed you too.”

who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?

cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)

Modern Author’s Note on Ao3: might discuss some possible triggers, thank readers for comments, apologize for a delay in update, etc–talking to reader, essentially.

Author’s Note on FFN back in 2010: 

Author: Y’all are gonna love this cahpter!!!! [Character] not sooooo much

Character:…wh–what’s gonna happen?

Author: Don’t worry about it! ^.^

Character: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??

Author: ;)

Character: D:

those were dark, dark days, man. Today’s Fandom Freshman are sure lucky they missed this.

Don’t forget that the author was broken into at least five separate voices, ‘Inside Out’ style.

or where you would have ask blogs for your ocs except it was just in a ff.net story. basically an entire classic authors note except people would ask questions. that was my childhood.

Y'all forgot that sometimes we also appeared in the middle of the text with notes like “(author: noooo >:( character is such a b*tch!!!! character: I’M NOT!!!!)” And it was the crimgiest shit ever but we had fun doing it lmao

I was waiting for the night bus at 1am the other night, eating fries, when a dude, high as fuck, tried to harass me. It took several “I don’t want to talk to you, please go away” for him to finally move, but I think it helped that another man was giving him the death stare and clicking his tongue at him. He then checked I was okay and whether I knew the guy or not. Good dude.

Shout out also the man who silently switched places with me on another night bus to be a buffer between me and a guy who had threatened me. Thank you

Men: this here? This here is what you need to be doing as allies. The men who harass and insult women are not likely to take our complaints about it seriously. But you, another man, they will listen to. 

I was pumping gas at like 10 PM one night, and these bunch of drunk guys came walking up to the gas station, and one of them yelled over to me if I wanted to see his dick.  His friend says to him, “You don’t have anything she wants to see.” and apologized.  It was pretty awesome.

this is all we want from men. to recognize the wrongs done by other men, and acknowledge it. not give us shitass defense like, “not all men do that”
