americanah by chimamanda ngozi adichie

It’s raining outside and Matt can’t seem to get it together. He knew he had made a mistake by kissing another girl and was about to tell the other girl that he had a girlfriend, but Amy had witnessed the kiss and lost her fucking mind. In front of everyone she gave him a verbal beat down and made it known that she wasn’t happy with him. Several times, during this moment of anger he tried to get a word in, but she kept interrupting him and telling him that she didn’t want to hear him talk right now. He accepted her wishes and kept his mouth shut, letting her walk away – or rather stomp away from him in peace. It had a been a day after that incident though, and he wanted to talk to her. Or rather, he needed to talk to her; tell her that he hadn’t initiated the kiss. He knew how bad it looked. Wondered what was going on in her mind. And just as he walked through the hallway that led to her dorm room, he let his wet hair and dripping clothes wet the floor, his shoes sliding on the carpet as his feet dragged.

In about a minute, he arrived at her dorm. Matt then took in a deep breath and placed his walking stick by his side. He was going to prepare what he was going to say near the door, but then he heard Amy open the door. And although he couldn’t see her face, he knew she was glaring at him in a way that said she’d kill him if it were legal.  “We’re better off alone,” she told him angrily, before poking him in the chest. “We're just hurting each other. i don't think we're happy." He took a step back, suddenly forgetting any of the thoughts he considered saying before arrival.

“No – you don’t understand, I didn’t kiss her. She kissed me,” he said to her, his head tilted back as he turned to where he thought her face was; somberly. He was going to say more, but then Amy told him to step back. Immediately, he did as she said. He thought she was going to do it – give him a chance to speak – but then she slammed the door.

Amy x Matt

When they were younger,  Matt would always pick Amy up so they could jog and go to breakfast together. During their jog, Amy gets really competitive and when she loses to Matt, they start hand-to-hand combat in front of everyone and everyone stares in awe. Matt and Amy are unphased by this and usually start making out once someone's pins the other on the ground, leading everyone to leave. Whenever they stop being gross young adults, they get up and go to the local diner to have breakfast. Matt usually eats something that's really healthy so he doesn't taste the chemicals and artificial flavors. Amy eats whatever she wants and Matt sometimes picks at her food - which tends to end with Amy smacking his hand and him giving her his charming, yet shit-eating grin.

I remember you saying Amy doesn't really like PDA when it comes to Matt. Matt is alright with it, but sometimes when they're at a restaurant together he’ll gently touch her thigh or attempt to hold her hand. Sometimes it works, other times it he gets dirty looks from her and doesn't try again. Whenever they're alone he'll be really affectionate though and will give her massages that end with both of them having sex (you know, if Eloise is with Amy’s parents). After they have sex, they just lay there for a while and cuddle. Matt eventually gets up and makes them some food that he brings into bed (if he doesn't run into the wall).

Matt is such a great dad to Eloise. Even though he can't see the paper,  he'll color with her and draw with her. While they're coloring Eloise will tell him her life story and Matt will listen to her really intently and will respond to her like what she has to say is important. I feel like Amy was hesitant about letting Eloise walk  around San Francisco with Matt at first, but after a while she got comfortable and she’d let Matt take her out. When Matt took Eloise out, Matt would take her to get food or will get an Uber to the park. He can hear what she’s doing due to his amazing hearing, so he doesn’t worry about her leaving to play on the playground.

ari x jo

lol san has flirted with jo a few times and jo just plain fucking ignored it. like this has been happening since before he got interested in ari. she would flirt while he was posted beside ari’s door, or when he was standing in front of the house. and like, jo would never move? he’d just stand there like nothing was happening. he'd pay attention to ari as soon as she was in his vicinity tho and would give her lots of attention. especially when she was in her twenties and he fell for her. i think he’s mentioned to ari that he thinks it’s really weird, but hasn’t said anything other than that to her about it.

jo taking videos of ari. usually, they’re like sweet moments around the house where they’re really not doing anything. like ari will be doing the dishes or listening to tv and jo will walk up to her with the camera and tell her he’s recording. ari will play along and talk to him while he records and they’ll talk and talk and talk. when they have the twins, jo records everything from the first time ari carries them, to their first day of preschool. so by the time the kids are older, they have a huge collection of films their parents make them and themselves. ari will sometimes record, too….but like….there is usually no one in the video since ari can’t see. but she tries and jo will still watch her videos.

shopping is such an amazing bonding experience for them. i remember you saying that ari trusted jo with buying her clothes, and i think that’s very smart of her because he has amazing fashion taste. so, they will go shopping together at the mall (or a premium outlet) and have a blast. jo will describe the outfits he sees and ari will tell him whether or not she likes the outfits. usually, she does, but sometimes she doesn’t and tells him so. when she tells him no, jo will happily look for another. sometimes they will kiss in the dressing room because they are both affectionate people.   

alex x cloud

you know how you said he'd basically drop her during his trip to spain? well, i think she heard from a friend who was on that same trip that he was doing things he wouldn’t do with her with this other girl, so she couldn’t do that thing she does where she convinces herself that she’s more important. so, i think after she gets over her sadness (heartbreak lmfao) she moves on and starts dating some other guy and she is head over heels for him. so when alex shows up out of the blue, wanting to act like that never happened, she shuts him down and tells him that she needs some time to decide if she wants to be friends with someone who was using her just like every other guy was. and she’d be really srs about it, too.

lol when claudia is sick, she’s like...really needy. so in their married verse (or any verse lbr), if she’s sick, she sort of demands his attention. he has to make her soup, tap a rag on her head, and talk to her - shit like that - or she’ll whine and cry. and i feel like alex would be super annoyed with this since he’s a germaphobe, but lol she sort of expects to have all the attention on her when she’s sick and she doesn’t really care about his needs during those moments and mostly cares about herself. if anything, i think she’s not as bad with him as she would be with other people, because she doesn’t force him to lay in bed with her haha. but yeah, she’s a monster when she’s sick (blame susana).  

i don’t know how the fuck they even started dating in their married verse, but i’m 1,000% sure claudia was the one who asked him out. it was basically her going “hey, be my bf or i’m not sleeping with you anymore *shrug*” while they’re having wine or something. i’m p sure claudia was older and more mature at that point and knew what she wanted; which when she’s younger she just wants to have some fun without anything srs to hold her down. i think it would’ve been something she had to think really hard about.    also she would’ve had rules

Beth is on the phone with Hayden. She has no idea what to do anymore, and no idea what to think. One day, she and Dan are really good friends who do everything together and look after each other, no feelings or weird shit. The next, she finds herself catching feelings. She does not want to ruin their friendship with those feelings, so it makes her sad to have them. In all truth, Beth hopes they goe away to make things easier on herself. “Ugh, I really have it bad for him, Hayden. I don’t really know what to do about it, either” she told her cousin, her words steady and hushed. “I don’t think he feels the same way. He’s known me since we were eight and probably sees me as a younger sister.” She sighs at that, massaging her temples with her hand. As she rubs, she can hear a little creek from the door. This makes her change the subject immediately. “Alright, bring pizza you right bastard.” Immediately after saying that, Beth hangs up the phone and stands up to see who could be by the door. When she notices that no one’s there, she walks into the living room to see what Dan is up to.

Send me a FC and I’ll share a roleplay horror story I’ve had with said FC.

Nina Dobrev

omgggg Nina. You know what? I don’t specifically remember a horror story with her fc because I just….. well. To be perfectly honest most Nina FCs blend into one xD they’re almost always the SAME character regardless of the rp and they always thirst after TVD FCs which, okay. I don’t MIND that like obviously you’re partial to the FCs because you’re using Nina but….. I don’t know. I rarely see truly fleshed out Nina’s. At least the ones I’ve written against and seen in rps! I’m sure a bunch of people have great muses but I’ve never encountered one outside of a…. the fuck was her name in that show? I canny remember. But regardless. There’s a 100% they’re all the same character. HBIC material.
