I told one of my teachers I wanted to work at a country club and he looked at me with pure terror. The things he told me GIRLS DONT DO IT. THE BAG ISNT WORTH IT.
omg of course!! i’m so glad it made you happy, i’m literally obsessed with it<33 it so unique it the best way possible🤍
I literally love you
in my head all my 70s au characters all go to a school called Brighton High School and they’re all seniors having the time of their lives before college with their different friend groups. Interacting every so often in classes for projects and school fights and bullying freshman together.
I was wondering if you could do a Lochlan Ratliff x reader where she’s also visiting Thailand and they just have a whole romantic time together like puppy innocent love
SOMEONE NEW
lochlan ratliff and reader
The sun glistens on the surface of the pool, water shifting like liquid gold as guests lounge nearby, the soft hum of conversation mixing with the occasional splash. You let your hands drift through the cool water, your body weightless as you float, eyes half-lidded against the heat. Everything feels slow, dreamlike, the kind of afternoon where time doesn’t seem to move at all.
And then you notice him.
He’s at the far end of the pool, standing waist-deep in the water, running a hand through his damp hair. He looks out of place, not in a bad way, just… different. Like he’s unsure of what to do with himself. His light eyes flicker around the pool deck, glancing at the groups of people laughing and talking, before landing on you.
For a second, neither of you move. Then you smile, small, unsure, just enough to acknowledge the moment.
He smiles back, hesitant at first, then real.
“Hey,” he says, shifting his weight, the water rippling around him.
“Hi,” you reply softly.
It’s quiet for a beat, neither of you quite knowing what to say next. You’re not even sure why you say it, but the words slip out before you can stop them.
“Wanna play mermaids?”
His brow furrows, his lips parting slightly in confusion. “Mermaids?”
You nod.
For a moment, he just stares at you like he’s trying to figure out if you’re serious. Then, to your surprise, he lets out a small laugh. He scratches the back of his neck, his cheeks coloring slightly.
“I, uh… don’t think I know how to play mermaids.”
You grin, tilting your head. “It’s not that hard. You just have to swim like one. Kick your legs together instead of separately.”
He squints, like he’s considering it, then exhales through his nose, shaking his head with a quiet chuckle. “You’re messing with me.”
“I’m not! Just try it.”
He sighs dramatically, like he’s about to do something humiliating, and then dives under. You follow, watching as he awkwardly keeps his legs together, barely making any progress through the water. When you both surface, you’re already laughing.
“Okay, that was terrible,” you tease.
“Yeah, no shit,” he breathes, pushing his wet hair back from his forehead. “How do you do it so fast?”
You shrug. “Years of experience. You’re talking to a pro.”
His lips twitch, like he wants to say something sarcastic, but he holds back. Instead, he just watches you for a second before blurting, “I’m Lochlan, by the way.”
You give him your name in return, and he repeats it like he’s testing how it feels in his mouth.
The afternoon drifts by in easy conversation, playful splashes, and attempts at swimming like mermaids that leave both of you breathless with laughter. You don’t expect to see him again after that—vacation friendships are fleeting, and the resort is big enough that you could easily go the rest of the trip without running into him.
But later, as you’re walking through the lobby, you hear someone call your name.
You turn and find Lochlan jogging toward you, slightly out of breath, as if he had to talk himself into doing this.
“Hey,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck. “Uh—do you wanna… umm.. walk around or something? Shop? Get food?”
Before you can even answer, a voice cuts in.
“You’re ditching me for her?”
You glance over and see a guy much older, very handsome, lounging on a nearby chair, watching Lochlan with a smirk. He looks between the two of you, then shakes his head in exaggerated disbelief.
Lochlan shrugs. “Yeah… sorry Saxon ”
Saxon rolls his eyes. “Whatever, dude. Have fun with your little date.”
Lochlan’s face flushes, but he ignores him, turning back to you. “So?”
You nod. “Yeah. I can go.”
The streets are alive with movement, a warm glow settling over the market as the sky begins its slow descent into dusk. You and Lochlan weave through the crowd, stopping at every other stall, fingers brushing as you reach for the same thing more than once. Neither of you acknowledge it, but neither of you pull away, either.
“You would totally rock this,” he says, holding up a sequined button-down, his face completely serious.
You snort. “Oh, absolutely. I was just thinking I needed something to blind people with.”
He grins, shoving it back onto the rack. “What about this?” He pulls out a pair of neon pink shorts.
You deadpan. “I think you should get them.”
He holds them up to his waist. “Be honest—do they bring out my eyes?”
You pretend to consider. “You might be starting a whole new fashion trend.”
Lochlan laughs, tossing the shorts back. “Okay, so no pink shorts for me. Got it.”
As you move deeper into the market, the scent of grilled meat and spices fills the air. A street vendor calls out in Thai, waving a skewer of something unidentifiable.
“You ever had that?” Lochlan asks.
You shake your head. “Let’s try it.”
He gives you a skeptical look but doesn’t argue, ordering two. The first bite is a mistake. You both cough at the same time, grabbing for drinks as your faces scrunch up in unison.
“Oh my god,” you gasp, swallowing quickly. “What was that?”
“I have no idea, but I think my mouth is on fire,” Lochlan says, eyes watering as he fans his tongue.
You burst out laughing, and despite the disaster, he does too.
The evening air is warm as the two of you wander through the night market, weaving between stalls filled with silk scarves, carved elephants, and street food sizzling on open grills. The smell of grilled skewers and fresh mango fills the air, and Lochlan reaches for your hand without thinking, pulling you toward a stall selling colorful woven bracelets.
“You think this would suit me?” he asks, holding up a bright pink one.
You laugh. “Absolutely not.”
He smirks. “I’m getting it anyway.”
You roll your eyes, but there’s something soft about the way he looks at you as he hands over a few baht, slipping the bracelet onto his wrist.
“Now you have to get one too,” he says.
You shake your head. “That’s not how this works.”
“Sure it is,” he grins, grabbing another bracelet, this one blue, softer, the color of the ocean at dusk. Without asking, he takes your wrist, fastening it gently around you. His fingers linger just a little too long, his touch warm against your skin.
Your heart stumbles.
For the rest of the night, you don’t let go of each other’s hands.
As the night deepens, the market glows with lanterns, the energy shifting into something softer, quieter. Without really thinking about it, you slip your hand into his again even after only letting go for two minutes. He doesn’t hesitate to intertwine your fingers, squeezing lightly like he’s been waiting for this moment all day.
At the end of the market, you pause near a quiet corner, away from the crowd. The silence between you is comfortable, but there’s something else there, something unspoken.
Before you can overthink it, you lean up and press a quick kiss to his cheek.
It’s barely a second, but when you pull away, Lochlan is already looking at you.
And then, without a word, he tilts his head down and catches your lips in his.
It’s quick, just a heartbeat, but it’s enough to leave your stomach in knots.
When you part, you meet his gaze, your breath still unsteady. His hand, still laced with yours, tightens slightly.
For a second, neither of you move.
And then, slowly, he leans in again.
This time, you don’t hesitate.
By the time you’re standing outside your room, the resort quiet except for the distant hum of the waves, neither of you want to say goodnight.
Lochlan hesitates, shifting on his feet, then reaches out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. His fingers brush against your cheek, feather-light, and you swear he’s closer than he was a second ago.
“Thanks for today,” he murmurs, his voice softer now, almost hesitant.
“Yeah,” you breathe. “Me too.”
And then, before you can second-guess it, you lean up and kiss his cheek.
It’s meant to be quick, a simple goodnight. But the second your lips touch his skin, he turns his head, just slightly, just enough.
Your lips meet his.
The kiss is soft, barely more than a breath, but it sends a rush of warmth through you, curling in your chest, your fingertips.
When you pull back, his eyes are wide, searching yours, like he’s wondering if that really just happened.
You don’t say anything. You don’t have to.
He smiles, small, almost shy.
“Goodnight,” you whisper.
“Night,” he murmurs, watching you as you step inside, closing the door behind you.
And when you press your fingers to your lips, still tingling from his, you already know—
sorry this is long I got lost in the sauce..

Does anyone wanna follow eachother on Pinterest and share cute boards and stuff my pins are so bland🙁
introducing..
໑ 70s POPULAR GIRL QUEN
“Girls are never supposed to be powerful or confident or assertive. But why not?”
POPULAR QUEN… whose laughter rings through the halls, rich and unfiltered, turning heads because it’s too bright, too alive to ignore.
POPULAR QUEN… whose stare could slice through steel, yet softens for those clever enough to keep up and kind enough to deserve
POPULAR QUEN… who holds secrets like jewels, tucked away and gleaming, never careless with them, unless you make her careless.
POPULAR QUEN… whose skin catches the light like it’s always golden hour, her presence warm but untouchable, like the last flicker of sunset.
POPULAR QUEN… who could break hearts just by forgetting names, yet remembers the way her friends take their coffee.
POPULAR QUEN… who sees through the cracks in people, sharp-eyed and steady, offering kindness like a rare, fleeting thing.
POPULAR QUEN… who doesn’t need a crown to rule, her presence alone bends the room, like gravity pulling everything toward her.
POPULAR QUEN… who laughs louder than the music at parties, head thrown back, untouchable in her joy, like the world exists just to entertain her.
POPULAR QUEN… who doesn’t start drama but will end it with one sentence that feels like a slap and a smile.
POPULAR QUEN… who holds herself like she’s invincible because she’s had to be, but lets the right people see the cracks.
POPULAR QUEN… who remembers the little things you told her once, your favorite song, the snack you love—and brings it up like it’s nothing, but it’s everything.
POPULAR QUEN… who pretends not to care, but you notice how her eyes light up when you actually listen to her stories.
POPULAR QUEN… who holds onto old letters and birthday cards in a box under her bed, rereading them when the house is too quiet.
POPULAR QUEN… who talks and talks until she’s tired, and then sits quietly, staring off like she’s somewhere far away.
POPULAR QUEN… who gives hugs that linger just a second longer than expected, like maybe she needed it too but won’t admit
POPULAR QUEN… who laughs so hard she has to wipe tears from her eyes, shoulders shaking, and for a moment, she’s just a girl, not the queen of the room.
POPULAR QUEN… who will roll her eyes at your bad joke but fight back a smile because she secretly loves that you tried.
POPULAR QUEN… who teases you without mercy but softly fixes your collar before you walk away, like she can’t help but care.
this one was for the 👩🏾❤️💋👩🏽 girlies

In the summer of ‘76,, Matt meets a walking social disaster. In simpler terms.. a girl. I know. Matt Sturniolo and girls aren’t exactly a match made in heaven. But maybe this one is an exception?
Matt Sturniolo wasn’t a guy people noticed. He was the one on the edge of every conversation, hands shoved in his pockets, nodding along but never speaking. He existed in the background, the human equivalent of white noise, there, but never quite there. And he was okay with that.
But for some reason, ever since that day at the grocery store, he kept noticing her.
At first, it was just a passing thought. A flash of curls and big brown eyes somewhere in the back of his mind. Then, it was something worse, a weird, nagging feeling, like he was waiting for something. Like maybe he’d run into her again.
Except summer stretched long and hazy, and she didn’t show up anywhere. Not at the record store when he went with Nick. Not at Nate’s house, where the air was thick with the scent of weed and cheap cologne. Not even at the parties Chris dragged him to, where everyone blended together into a blur of voices and smoke and music that wasn’t as good as people thought it was.
So, he forgot. Mostly.
But then school started.
And there she was.
At first, it was just a glimpse in the hallway, like a trick of the light. Then he saw her again, on the front steps, in the cafeteria, at the lockers, in the exact wrong places at the wrong times. And every time, it was like some cosmic joke, like fate was dangling something just out of reach.
He didn’t approach her, of course. Matt Sturniolo did not approach girls.
Chris would. Chris could walk up to any girl, any time, and just talk. Didn’t matter who, didn’t matter where, he had a way of slipping into conversations like he belonged there.
Matt? He was lucky if he could get a sentence out without sounding like an idiot.
So he didn’t talk to her. He just… saw her. More than he should’ve.
It was starting to feel like some kind of setup.
Then came the next morning.
Chris had to go in early for tutoring, something about making up for skipping too many classes last year, so Matt got dragged along for the ride. The school was barely awake yet, the halls stretching empty and hollow.
With nothing else to do, he went to the cafeteria, figuring he’d sit there until people started showing up.
And that’s when he saw her.
She was standing in the breakfast line, her hair a little wilder than usual. She grabbed a little plastic bowl of Frosted Flakes and a carton of milk, shaking the box like she was testing how much was inside.
Matt didn’t mean to stare.
But she must’ve felt it, because right then, she looked up, straight at him.
And smiled.
It wasn’t just a polite smile, either. It was real, bright, warm, like she knew something he didn’t.
Then, before he could even think about looking away, she turned and walked right toward him.
Matt swallowed hard, his hands instinctively tucking into his hoodie pockets as she dropped into the seat across from him, setting her tray down with a little clack.
Matt stiffened, pulse kicking up, every instinct screaming at him to look away, act normal, pretend you weren’t staring like a freak.
“Hey,” she said casually, ripping the plastic lid off her cereal. “You always sit here?”
Matt blinked. He hadn’t expected her to actually talk to him.
He hesitated, then shook his head. “No. My brother had tutoring.”
She tilted her head. “Huh. Didn’t know they did tutoring this early.” Then she scooped up some cereal, chewing thoughtfully before glancing at him again. “You got a name, or should I just call you ‘guy who stares at me from across the room’?”
Matt felt heat creep up his neck. Great. She noticed.
“Sturniolo,” he muttered.
She raised an eyebrow. “That’s a mouthful.”
“Matt,” he amended.
She nodded approvingly. “Better.” Then, after a beat, she slid the bowl of cereal toward him. “Hold this for a sec? Gotta grab a napkin.”
And just like that, she was gone, leaving him sitting there, staring down at a bowl of soggy Frosted Flakes.
Matt exhaled, running a hand down his face.
This girl was gonna be a problem.
Matt sat stiffly, staring down at the bowl of Frosted Flakes like it was some kind of test. The milk was already turning sugary and pale, the cereal floating lazily on top. He didn’t dare touch it.
Across the cafeteria, she was rifling through the napkin dispenser, curls bouncing with every movement. Like she wasn’t even thinking about the fact that she’d just sat down with him. Like this wasn’t weird at all.
Matt felt his throat tighten.
She didn’t even know who he was. She probably sat down because he looked alone, and people like her had a way of making things less awkward for the ones who didn’t fit in. It didn’t mean anything.
So why was he sitting here like his entire morning had just been thrown off course?
Before he could think too much about it, she was back, napkin in hand, sliding into her seat like she belonged there. She pulled the cereal back in front of her, barely sparing him a glance before she dug in again.
“Thanks, Matt.”
His stomach did something weird at the way she said his name. Like it wasn’t a big deal. Like they’d always been friends.
He cleared his throat. “Uh, yeah. Sure.”
She grinned mid-bite, like she could hear the awkwardness in his voice.
“So, do you, like, not eat breakfast, or do you just enjoy staring at people while they eat?”
Matt frowned, crossing his arms. “I don’t stare.”
She lifted an eyebrow. “Mmm.”
“I don’t,” he insisted, but it came out weak, because, well… maybe he had been looking at her more than he should’ve.
She didn’t push it, just smirked like she knew something he didn’t. “Alright, not-staring-Matt, what’s your deal?”
He blinked. “What?”
“Like, what’s your thing?” she said, waving her spoon. “Everyone’s got something. You a football guy? A stoner? One of those weird band kids?”
Matt hesitated. He could’ve told her about movies, about the hours he spent watching and rewatching old foreign films no one else cared about. About the way music sounded different on vinyl, how he had a whole crate of records stacked in his room. But all of that felt… too personal.
So he just shrugged. “Dunno.”
She sighed dramatically. “God, you’re so cryptic.”
“I’m not cryptic,” he muttered.
“You totally are,” she said, shaking her head. “I bet you’re, like, the brooding type. Probably lean against lockers all mysterious, making girls wonder what your deal is.”
Matt rolled his eyes. “Yeah. That’s me. Real mysterious.”
She laughed, and Matt didn’t realize how much he liked the sound of it until it was already out there, loud and full and unfiltered.
For a second, they just sat there, her eating, him sitting there, unsure of why he wasn’t getting up, why he wasn’t saying something stupid to ruin the moment.
Then—
“Hey, there you are.”
Matt’s shoulders tensed as he heard Chris’s voice.
He turned to see his brother strolling toward the table, looking like he owned the place, because Chris always looked like that. His grayish-purple shirt was half unbuttoned, his dark hair tousled in that effortless way that made girls trip over themselves.
And, of course, he noticed her immediately.
Chris slid into the seat next to Matt, grinning lazily at her. “Hey. Who’s your friend?”
Matt opened his mouth to say I don’t know, but before he could, she answered for him.
“Sage.” She stuck out a hand. “And you must be the brother?”
Chris took her hand like he was some kind of movie star, shooting her the most flirty smile, which Matt knew all too well. “of course.”
Matt groaned, dropping his head into his hands.
He could already tell, this was about to get so much worse.

I meeean.. u came on here. You don’t like it and you’re still here. You’re not their close friend they don’t know u so don’t act like you know what they’re comfortable with. They’ve seen tumblr they know what’s on it I’m sure they would’ve made it clear not to do ts but they haven’t meaning they don’t actually gaf. And ur lying if ur saying these niggas aren’t lazy. No one made them go on tour and if you read the rules they had set for tour AFTER ppl paid for it then yk that shits a money grab ur slow if u think otherwise. They aren’t children. And the way they talk like they got an attitude doesn’t help their case it’s just annoying especially because they make content most of their fanbase don’t even like.
I am TIRED of hearing ppl say that the triplets are lazy. That’s fucking stupid of yall to say, they are trying so hard. Not to mention they have tour, which they mentioned was more expensive, there is more to do and it’s farther away then The lets trip tour and versus tour. Ppl are also pissed they aren’t going over seas. It’s definitely not their fault. Ik this isn’t gonna be seen by many others but I’m still stating my opinion. I feel so bad for them, yall need to cut them some slack. The video that was posted on a Saturday wasn’t bc they were lazy and just didn’t want to post, they have a life outside of posting and everyone needs to understand that, I get it, some people weren’t happy but it needs to be let go of. Also, not to mention how DISGUSTING people are?? I came on tumblr bc of my mate, turns out this is a disgusting place where ppl sexualize them. Calling them sluts and making sexual fanfics is not something they are comfortable with. They mentioned it in so many videos. Nick had to censor his pants in one video, isn’t that a clear sign they know ppl think that way about them? It’s just gross imo. It honestly scares me knowing ppl who sexualize them are going on tour, i would be grossed out too if I were them. Even though I am hypersexual, I wouldnt publicly announce that I sexualized them if I did. I think it’s just embarrassing for the ppl who do that. They don’t have a chance with them no matter what
