What am I besides the sum of my faults?

Pairing: Dieter Bravo x F!Reader

Rating: M

Summary: When Dieter Bravo travels to England to start production on Cliff Beasts 6 during the COVID-19 pandemic, he brings you - his personal assistant - along. Dieter needs to get you out of his head, but when things go awry in more ways than one, the two of you realize that’s not going to happen

Notes: This was meant to be a cute 4-5k word thing about the power going out during production of Cliff Beasts, based on my own experience with a power outage not too long ago. It snowballed pretty quickly as you all can see. I wrote this before second, third, and hundredth chances but @ezrasbirdie​​​​ (thank you for beta-reading this beast of a fic, darling!) suggested I post that one first. This is like 400% less angsty than that one and Dieter is the “loveable goofball” we all know and love in this one. Special thank you to @dieterbravo​​​​ for making the gif edit when I couldn’t find it in the gif search 💖

It’s gender-neutral.

There’s nothing more badass than a mandalorian.

You can reply by shouting “Oya Manda!” and pump yourself up.

It sounds enough like “man up” that half the people who hear you won’t realize what you really said for a good ten minutes.

Some of them will never figure it out.

Doesn’t matter. You know what you said.

You get to picture yourself in a T-shaped visor and a suit of beskar.

You don’t need more reasons.

Love Triangles

Soulmates with Identifying Marks AU, including a ridiculous amount of pining, misunderstandings, and Dieter being Dieter.

This picture from Syria protesting war in Ukraine actually made me tear up.

I read from @ nzekiev on twitter that the day before yesterday it was very hard for Africans to get on any train in Kyiv, they were letting them in the last, many managed to get in only coz they started pushing African women into the train so they had to allow everyone in. Before that if they managed to get on the train they were sent back outside with the phrase "Ukrainians first", but nobody was checking anyone's passports.

Today, February 27, he says the Ukrainian soldiers at the Polish border were holding them at gunpoint if they crossed the border before Ukrainians. These are students, they can't be fighting this war!!! Other people of color share on twitter that it's harder for them to cross the border, a Nigerian medical student told @ stephheharty they were told Ukrainians go first and were sent to the back of the queue by Ukrainian soldiers on Polish border.

@ Damilare_arah shared a video where Ukrainian soldiers block Africans from getting on trains. (https://twitter.com/Damilare_arah/status/1497654141350522880?t=rkNx-B9TffKopCRtfgZodA&s=19)

I can't figure out how to download videos from Twitter so I'm attaching screenshots. (https://twitter.com/Damilare_arah/status/1497855205098106880?t=gi_dUgx8nFI36KqlH-CeEA&s=19) (https://twitter.com/nzekiev/status/1497805019311218689?t=hz-3gS0hFxwAZQddLZI85w&s=19)

We must help. They can't be denied shelter while every other white Ukrainian gets to cross the border right before their eyes. @ chylady and @ Damilare_arah share all the important information for Africans and Nigerians on where to find help and also donations.

@ korrinesky is actively sharing all the information. This thread increases to this day and time https://twitter.com/korrinesky/status/1496770898019303427?t=oheEMMWK2KecFzPFWb05iA&s=19

They also have a Telegram chat for African and Caribbean students who are in Lviv but I can't seem to be able to copy the link directly so I'm sending the link to the tweet: https://twitter.com/korrinesky/status/1497661192038453251?t=1bzZxfWvu-zf-zQhFk4BMw&s=19

Here's some of the information where Africans and Nigerians can find help:

Another thing that I wish I could celebrate is around the corner, and true to form, I'm turning to Pero for comfort.

Despite the title, this is actually a happy little story :)

Rating: Mature 18+ONLY

Warnings: Pero Tovar x Reader. Can be read as Gender Neutral. No use of Y/N. Modern!Pero. Cursing, mature themes, sort of public kissing but not really bc there's nobody else around, aggressive dog, attacking dog, blood, mild angst.

You had it all figured out.

Valentine’s Day wasn’t ordinarily something you celebrated, because you’d managed to be alone for that particular day most years, and thus, you’d grown to resent the love-celebration.

But that was also where your decision to go ahead and have a solo-lovefest had come from, because you weren’t a resentful person. You were a positive person and even though you were starting to give up on the whole happily ever after, there was no reason to start thinking of love as something to begrudge others, or to push away from yourself.

Love wasn’t the actual problem. The loneliness was.

But let me just say that it was an absolute delight💕
