summary: vicky has never really been much of a morning person. staying up all night working on her inventions hasn’t boded her well when it came time to wake up the next morning. stuff like that never really mattered. but dating scott has changed quite a few of her routines, including her morning one. and what better way to start off the early hour than to go on a walk with her favorite boy?
Mornings were never Vicky’s favorite thing in the world.
She didn’t hate them, per say. But when you’re an aspiring engineer who works on her projects way late into the night, waking up at a good time could be somewhat of a struggle.
She’d drag herself out of bed, eyes bleary as sunlight spilled through the curtains. She would pad her way to the kitchen, feeling the cool tile on her bare feet, and attempt to wake her brain up. A cup of coffee usually did the trick, though she’d deny ever being a caffeine addict. Then, she’d get dressed for the day and either get back to work on her latest build or browse some forums on her laptop. Maybe start up that blog she’s been wanting to make for awhile, hopefully get some studying in, and then perhaps text her friends for a bit.
That was how Vicky spent most of her mornings, and she was pretty content with it.
That all changed, of course, when she started dating Scott Howl.
Vicky considered herself to be a pretty energetic person, but nothing compared to the full force that Scott was. From the times she’s slept over at his house, he was somehow always able to wake up bright and early with a smile on his face. There were few times she could remember where he’d actually let himself sleep in. He’d always go on about how “it’s good to get an early start to the day” and how “waking up early boosts morale”. Something he definitely just heard from some YouTube video.
At first, he’d just get out of bed and go on with his day, cooking up breakfast for her whenever she eventually woke up. But recently, he had been waking her up along with him whenever they spent the weekends together. It all started with a simple, whispered request,
“Hey, Vicky! Wanna go on a walk with me?”

Thinking about Alex Mullner who has no clue how turned on he is by the whole idea of marriage until you tie the knot.
The first time you sigh, "My husband makes the best pancakes" after he's presented you with breakfast, it's like he's been struck by lightning. My husband. He's already thinking of how he can get you to say it again and again. In the kitchen, in the bedroom, over dinner at George and Evelyn's, he doesn't care. It's his new favorite song.
When he finds you puttering around the house doing chores in an old gridball jersey you found in the back of his drawer, "Mullner" emblazoned across your shoulders, man almost blacks out (probably from all the blood in his brain rushing south). The spelled-out, big-as-life reminder that you're his and he's yours and he's never been happier has him dragging off his hoodie as he makes a beeline for you, and when his big, warm hands find your skin under the oversized jersey, you're quick to agree chores can wait.
He stands a little taller, puffs his chest out a little prouder when you're by his side at festivals, smiling at him like he hung the moon, squeezing his bicep when you laugh at an inside joke, holding his hand while you mingle with the other villagers. He's not the townie with a failed gridball dream who's desperate to impress everybody anymore, he's the farmer's husband, and that makes him the luckiest guy in the world. What is he thankful for? He'll show you when you get back home.
Alex Mullner who doesn't sleep well unless he's curled around you. You come in at 1:00 am, shower off the grime of the mines, and slip into bed as quietly as possible to avoid waking him up, but before you know it a strong arm is tucking you against a broad chest and his lips brush the nape of your neck. You get a whispered, "Goodnight, Honey" as he drifts back to sleep, content now that all's as it should be. You can look forward to pancakes in bed in the morning (unless you distract him by calling him your husband).
so here’s how i avoid the burnout that comes with stress-cramming schoolwork
1 - make a list of plans you need to make
- rather than getting stuck on “what do i do first?”—
- write down everything you need to do in general terms
- for example:
> make revision cards for the great gatsby key moments
> annotate king leah
> write new resume
2 - write down the actions needed to complete this task
- rather than diving right in then getting overwhelmed by the ambiguity of the nest step (this is often my problem)—
- you write down clear steps you can refer back to
- for example:
> brainstorm all key TGG moments
> organise them in lists by theme (for me, the themes are something i already have a list of) with room to spare for each
> add 1 or 2 key quotes for each moment
> add favourite critical quote for each moment
> add very short analysis for each moment
> copy this information on one side of a red revision card
> put the name of the moment on the other side
3 - repeat for every item on your list
- i write all my plans first because i find that keeping motivation to do so is easier when i don’t stop
- i recommend setting a timer for 10/15 minutes, then alternating between resting/working until you’re finished
4. pick a task, follow your steps
- aim to complete 1 step per sitting.
🫶 this won’t work for everyone, but i recommend trying it if you haven’t before!
(it’ll probably work best if you modify it for you)
BONUS: make a new list where you organise your tasks into “easy” and “dreading”. (or whatever categories you want— i just like these) tick them off in a bright colour as you go along. once you’ve done an entire category, cross out the title. this helps me.
belated birthday gift for @ejunkiet who is always a bright spot of creativity and support! happy birthday, i hope you had a good one ♥♥♥ you enjoy my silly angel/david drawings so here’s one with your david and angel~ plus an amongus-less version lol
the juxtaposition between david's self-view of himself between his first reverse comfort video two years ago and now is so insane and heartwarming like the quotes speak for themselves:
“i’m, i’m still trying to figure out who i am now. where the lines between david, and pack alpha start and end. but you’re helping me find that out.” - audio rp | tsundere werewolf boyfriend breaks down
“when i’m with you, i’m not an alpha, i’m not a friend, i’m not a competitor — i’m david. and i thought i'de lost him a long time ago. you changed everything. your love changed everything...” - audio rp | your alpha werewolf boyfriend proposes
in conclusion: my heart is so overflowing with serotonin and love and every positive emotion to ever be ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
@autisticempathydaemon said they loved my Angel listener (along with everything else it was SO SWEETTT OMLLL<333) so here’s a doodle for you! They’re also one of my favorites!
Look at that face.
Full of mischief.
Some fun facts about them: they’re native! Specifically they could be from the Salishan (but I don’t know too much so I leave it ambiguous) and are half Filipino, born and raised in British Columbia, Canada around Vancouver. They were raised by their mom and brothers, then moving to dahlia for college.
They originally planned to secure a high end job in Vancouver just going to California for school but they met David. They still visit their family as often as they can.
They’re 5’4, the shortest listener! Aklag is still beefy and could definitely throw David over their head. Their callouses are from being raised on a farm, and they’re starting to fade now.
I took them out of another story I made a while ago so I’m still trying to tweak them seamlessly so I’ll actually maybe probably not but make a backstory sheet for my listeners?
Thank you sm for your words and I hope you like it!
I recently did a complete re-listen of david's entire playlist for reasons and god does this guy say some beautiful and sweet ass words. so here are some of my favs cause yes i'm a david simp if you haven't noticed:
"your words need to carry weight.... maybe it's just a matter of who you're talking to. your words carry weight with me, no matter how much, or how little you talk." - tsundere werewolf boyfriend comforts you during a storm
"i'm still trying to figure out who i am now. where the lines between david, and pack alpha start and end. but you're helping me find that out. thank you, for helping me and for loving me, even when i make it hard. you're everything to me." - tsundere werewolf boyfriend breaks down
"i’m glad you’re back. now it’s home again. no. no when you’re gone, it’s, it’s a house. a house i’m proud to own. a house i’m happy to live in. but it’s just a house. home is other people. home is you, wherever that is." - sleepy morning cuddles with your tsundere werewolf boyfriend
"you don't have to know why you're feeling off for it to be valid. it's valid because you're feeling it. you don't need to know why, and you don't need to apologize." - your tsundere werewolf boyfriend takes you for a night swim
"hey, scratch it with me?" - camping with your tsundere alpha werewolf boyfriend (♡)
"until i knew you, i didn’t know what it could be like. to share yourself with another person like we do. in a way that’s honest, without the walls, without the reservations, without judgement"
"you hold my heart in your hands, angel. you have for almost four years now. and you’ve treated it with a kindness that I haven’t always deserved. but that you give so freely"
"when i’m with you, i’m not an alpha, i’m not a friend, i’m not a competitor — i’m david. and i thought i’d lost him a long time ago. you changed everything. your love changed everything." - your alpha werewolf boyfriend proposes (╥﹏╥)♡
I was able to commission the wonderful @feketeribizli for some members of the shaw pack and their mates, and i’m so happy about them! They are absolutely perfect ✨ thank you again!
"he used up his sappy david privileges that night. and if that phone call was any indicator, he's not earning them back anytime soon. well, you earn yours back a lot faster. one of the perks of being the love of my life."
no one talk to me, he called me the love of his life and i'm going to be inconsolable as a result for the next 12 business days (╥_╥) ♡
