Jake And Venus - Tumblr Posts

The make and model of his vehicle probably didn’t help either? It wasn’t the lifted coal rollers that I drive amongst, but sometimes inanimate objects have a vibe ya know?

every time you reblog a photo of glen powell, I just have more respect for Venus cause my horny ass could never reject hangman as many times as she did 

Just think, his parking job was THAT horrendous.

Positivity Night Shout Out

This is for @withahappyrefrain 's Positivity Night. What a great idea! I hope I did this correctly Abby.

I follow a number of creators and some of them even follow me back! It's been a great experience and so here is some appreciation and good vibes...thanks Abby for doing this!

In no particular order and some with a lil blurb lagniappe as I've gotten to know them. This is long but ya know, I'm not at the Oscars on a time limit so read it or keep scrolling past. Your choice.

@blooming-violets aka @eatbrainsfordinner gave me some great advice when I first joined on how not to get blocked due to blog appearance and has an amazing library of fics that sent me down a rabbit hole. Plus in possession of a side-holding you will fall out of your chair sense of humor. Laughter can give us hope and I know that some of her comment/replies just put me in a better frame of mind.

@liz-allyn whose mob!peter fic Sugar and Vice (all of her work really) just blows me away. If you haven't got Honey, life just isn't sweet at all at all. All her content just radiates emotion. Depth. It's all there.

@webslingingslasher such a talent and so very very kind to everyone. Am enthralled with nerd!peter/frat!peter. I have no clue where the late night sleepover energy comes from though. I am in awe.

@sincericida no one tops her blog for Andrew Garfield content. No one. I check it more frequently than I do the daily news. Could get lost for days with the top tier content. A real sweetheart, too. Always answers asks.

@luvablehand a winsome writer with great imagination. Absolutely love that there is an updated list of WIPs on the blog so I know what is coming.

@periprose Nice blogger and her Peter Parker is adorable. Completed chapter fic Florence is great.

@theradioactivespidergwen aka @she-likesorchids great writer across multiple fandoms and great wit. We share a love of various sandwiches, know that dressing is superior to stuffing, and think sweater weather is amazing. It's glorious.

@reidslovely haunting haunting writing that stays with me. Love our interactions when I have questions about a story/plot/character. Has been writing more mob!peter and I am a member of the mob!peter fan club for life.

@loveroftoomanyfandoms I came for the Peter Parker fics and somehow acquired a Matt Murdock on the hot guy keyfob. Personality shines through on her blog and is such a joy. ((HUGS)) Always love interacting and living vicariously through the 'where is Charlie this week' adventures. (Couple more months and he's going to be eating some mighty fine food in NOLA) Our food chats have been awesome and when food found it's way as the theme in a story, well I cannot say enough about how enjoyable that's been.

@p3mybeloved another great Spider-man fandom creator. Read on here and AO3.

@ficthots writes for the fandom that is number one in my heart (TASM) and LIghtning Bugs makes me cry but it's that good kind of tears.

@delicate-dorothea sweet sweet writing that is addictive to read. Really looking forward to continuing to read and follow.

@backtothefanfiction someone I just started following but wow, am currently enthralled with a multi chapter mob!peter fic (The Angel In The Garden Of Evil) that has blown me away. Been a lot of fun to follow the character arcs and the twists and turns. Love writing essays for this creator when I reblog because the back and forth has been wonderful and enriching. I know the longer series can be so hard to write and maintain but they are a feast when you can find them. I've had a front row seat and am looking forward to more works in the future.

@helloheyhihowdyheya Love her works. Reading Rose Thorn Blues right now, and if asked to pick a fave out of the masterlist of Spider-man fics I'm not sure I could because they're all my babies.

@thursdaygxrls so much imagination in her writing, love it and love all the fics. Am currently following two: Thin Ice and Infrunami.

@withahappyrefrain Abby, whose Peter Parker won me over from the get go and then wrote TGM fics that added more hot male characters to the keyfob. Perfect sense of humor, never afraid to call out haters, and you just glow with sunshine and flowers right when I need it most. Big hugs and a shout out.

Other bloggers reblogging content is how I ran across many of you listed above so readers and content creators: reblog whatever you enjoy because it's really what keeps Tumblr active and engaging. When I'm not writing, I'm enjoying what others create and the inspiration and encouragement and words you share is wonderful and thank you for the effort you put into what you do!

*Hugs* It was perfect and I can picture Jake having just those types of images run through his mind and Venus lightening the worries each and every day.

Thanks Abby!

I've circled the block, switched to a different mask and am strolling back by your place to see if the candy bowl's empty and the lights off. If not and I can do round 2 of trick or treat...

Jake Hangdog Hangfire Hangup Hangnail Hangman Seresin may have a pearly white smile, but I suspect that occasionally he uses that smile to buy time so no one can see that he's rattled about something. So, my trick or treat ask is can you name a fear of Jake's, one that he keeps hidden pretty deep? (WIP snip, short explanation, pick your poison, etc)

He should be happy. The sight of those two pink lines should be a source of joy.

Instead, Jake feels dread.

It has formed a knot in the pit of his stomach, creeping up to his throat, like bile ready to spill at any moment.

He feels like he's eight again, in his bedroom as a pathetic attempt to hide himself from the argument taking place downstairs. He quickly learned the best way to block the yelling was in the closet. He'd take books, his Gameboy, a flashlight to pass the time.

Jake spent a lot of time in that closet. It was better than seeing the arguments in person. Better than watching a marriage self destruct. Not that it would ever be buried. In his small town, divorce still received eyebrow raises and snarky comments.

In his small town, it would take a death for two people to part.

And now, those damn pink lines were bringing it all back, clawing their way up from underground. What should have been one of the happiest moments of his life felt like a scene from a horror film.

"Jake?" He looked up to see his wife, his Venus, staring at him, waiting for a response.

He couldn't ruin this, couldn't let on that this was bringing more dread than happiness.

"Are you-is this okay?"

So he swallows the dread, the fear, the memories that shaped him. That famous smile appears on his face.

"Of course it is! This is amazing," he stands up to hug her. She wraps her arms around his waist, resting her head against his chest.

For a moment, it's quiet, the only sounds in the kitchen are their breathing.

"You're not going to be like him. You're nothing like him."

Jake can feel the air in his throat restrict. All he can do is nod his head, too busy trying to will the tears away.

"I-I know," his voice is shaky, confidence gone. She tightens the grip on his waist, trying to steady her husband.

"You're not a thing like him. You're going to be a great Dad."
