Heheh, thank you. Yeah, I'm feeling so much better now, just trying to chill out. I am proud of what I did get done though, and def know what to improve on next time, so I'm pretty alright with letting it go tbh. uvu

Blondes or brunettes?

 "Er... Well. I don't..." Niko lets out a defeated sigh, folding his arms. "Blondes, I guess? I... I really don't mind either way."

ITS TMI TUESDAY ASK ME REALLY PERSONAL SHIT CMON

[pdl-ghostboy]

So how do you know Niko? Why doesn't he like you? You seem like a fine fellow, I don't see why he wouldn't!

Niko and I have known each other since grade school, funnily enough! As for his less-than-positive feelings for me, well. It’s a bit embarrassing of a story, and not one that Niko would like to admit. But it’s a precious memory to me, so I’m happy to share with you! ♥

Somewhere, Niko wakes up screaming at the top of his lungs, though he is unsure why.

[pdl-ghostboy]

"Please?" Zane repeated delightedly. "You’re really persuasive when you want to be, Niko."

Niko’s expression had somehow segued into something vulnerable, all wide eyes and bitten lips. It was hard not to coo at how cute he was just then, so distinct from his usual cold demeanor towards him. Zane wanted to push his hands through Niko’s hair and see if it was as soft as it looked, to kiss him when least expecting, to invade his space and watch him want to pull away, yet unmovable for all his protest - because some part of him would like it, would want it too.

Zane pressed his thigh up against Niko firmly, carding a hand into Niko’s hair and tugging him down just a bit sharply. So it was soft. “Hate to say it, but I might need more persuading,” Zane said, letting his voice dip into that husky well of implications. Maybe he’ll kiss me first, this time? Zane wasn’t sure. He could be so hard to read sometimes, even when his desperation was clear.

[grumpy-boy]

 The first comment snapped Niko out of it, if only for a couple seconds. He frowned, glaring back down at Zane with a huff. The second he locked eyes though, and he lost his nerve almost instantly, insecurity rising up again and backing into Zane's waiting leg. He felt like a dumb, fumbling animal, stuck on fight or flight, an actual Deerling in the headlights.

 Any clear, rational thinking he had left was knocked out of him when he felt Zane press his leg up against him. Niko leaned forward, trying to get away with a small, startled yelp he would regret not muffling. He grimaced when the other boy yanked his hair, letting out a short gasp and giving him a sharp, uneasy glare at the gesture. His arms bent lower and he was back to staring down at Zane's increasingly smug face, looking more and more concerned by the moment.

 He tried to swallow quietly, but couldn't manage it.

 "Z-Zane, knock, knock it off- I, er... Fuck," He quickly shut his mouth, at loss of what to say. He shyly turned his gaze back to the wall, focusing on keeping his breathing even. Fuck his hot life.

[pdl-ghostboy]

Zane laughed, not able to help the positively ecstatic grin spreading on his face. It seemed that fate indeed was on his side today, and that miracles really did exist! With forceful urging and quite a bit of positive manipulation, but nonetheless Zane was utterly pleased, unable to contain his excitement. It turned out that there was one thing that overrided Niko’s stubbornness - something that just happened to require a bit of intimacy. 

"Niko, please," Zane mumbled reverently, watching Niko turn circles around terror and frustration, "I’m awfully dizzy! I hardly can move, being as disoriented as I am. Well, actually - " Zane dropped his gaze to Niko’s crotch, quite conveniently rubbing up against his thigh, and shifted against it. "Maybe I can?" Zane was almost breathless for how bold it all was, doing this sort of thing in the middle of a hallway, where anyone could see. Maybe that would work to my benefit? Niko would have to retreat, then, Zane thought. But, this was sort of…sort of fun, too. Zane always wondered what it’d be like to do this kind of thing with Niko, to make him squirm and tell him all the nice things that Niko never thought about himself. Or maybe not so good things, that he did think about himself. Zane was pretty flexible, in that respect.

[grumpy-boy]

 Niko froze again, willing himself to drag his eyes down to Zane's stupid smiling face. His eyes got wide, and he felt the heat in his face slowly drain... south-bound. He cautiously fixed his aching arms, biting his lip when he slid his hands parallel of Zane's shoulders. Which was a completely necessary move, so he wouldn't be straining to keep his balance over him, of course. For once in his life around Zane, he was completely silent for an entire minute, scared of something that the other boy had obviously already realized.

 Niko did his best not to gulp too loud, attempting to regain his dignity, what small amount of it he had. He looked away from Zane's creepy gaze, try so clamber off of him but Zane's positioning made it harder, to say the least.

"E-Er, please can you... move your..." He motioned to Zane's leg awkwardly, stupidly bumping up against it again. Niko quickly ceased his mumbling, staring distinctly at the wall. Of all the goddamn places in the entire goddamn world, why here. In a hallway. With the guy he's hated since grade school.

[pdl-ghostboy]

Zane could hardly bite out another excuse before he let out a shocked yelp, something jerking sharply at his hair. He rushed around instinctively, and took him an all-too-long moment to realize it was Niko with a hand twisted in his hair, and he was dragged to a stop. But Niko suddenly let go,sending him off-balance and falling to the floor rushing up towards him.

Zane scrunched his eyes and felt himself reach the floor with a resounding whump, Niko falling down with him in a tangle of limbs and odd bits of clothing in the way. Having landed on her feet, Whiskers yowled, reading herself to pounce onto the attacker that was assaulting her trainer. But somehow, Whiskers hesitated, understanding somehow that the last thing Zane wanted was more violence.

Zane panted, looking dazedly up at Niko. He had always sort of imagined that they would end up on a floor somewhere together, but…not exactly in this fashion. “You shouldn’t have followed me,” Zane said, his words muffled slightly under Niko’s scarf, fallen over his mouth. Zane tugged it away. “And, you’re sort of, you know, on top of me. I mean, if that’s - accidental in this situation, of if that is your intention by some stretch of imagination, for interrogation perhaps, I must say your method of questioning and persuasion really is strange, Niko…”

[grumpy-boy]

(( SO BECAUSE OF REASONS THIS RP HAS BECOME VOID. Instead of just letting it waste away this is pretty much going to most likely become non-canon completely stupid pwp smut. Congratulations. ))

 Niko let out a short-lived scream as he fell on top of Zane. He awkwardly managed to somewhat catch himself with one hand, but the angle made his arm ache. That's all he needed, to break his arm chasing down this freak. He tried to sit back up but realized he was straddling Zane's left thigh. Once the horror of his position set in, instead of flailing like he knew he probably should have, he froze up.

 He stared down, wide-eyed at Zane, feeling his face heat up as the weirdo went on implying things. He grit his teeth, trying to find his words again.

 "I-I, no I didn't- Well, er... Interrogating, uh..." He fumbled, trying to back up off of Zane's leg. It wasn't exactly working, and the awkward friction only made Niko more nervous. "P-Put your leg down, so I can get off!" He barked, quickly wanting to choke on his words. In that moment, he could see his life flashing before his eyes. His short, pathetic, sexually-frustrated life.

a different kind of psa

  Alright, I want to make this short and sweet because waking up today to a bunch of posts like this was probably the most despairing thing I've seen in a while. There is a line between being encouraging and guilt tripping and I feel like we've crossed it. The number one thing to remember is that competitors aren't just random artists on the internet, they are people. People who have lives, school, work, heath and everything else to worry about. They are human beings first, artists second, and I trust that people know their limits in regard to PDL and IRL workloads. If someone feels they might have to drop out because of whatever, it's their choice. They are allowed to do whatever they want, and they do not need to justify themselves to anyone with a "good reason". No one owes anyone art, or their participation. Shit happens. Bagging on people dropping out and "not trying hard enough" is honestly only discouraging them more, and in most cases making them feel worse about an already difficult choice.

tl;dr: Everyone chill the fuck out and let people do what they feel they need to do to relieve stress or enjoy themselves.
