2:14 p.m. ❥ you’re sitting cross legged on the floor of best friend!jaehyun’s dorm, currently ranting about your friends’ persistent attempts to set you up with one of their boyfriends’ friends so that you can quote unquote double date with them and more importantly, not die alone with a dozen cats. While the last reason may be somewhat valid, you very much prefer the sweet company of two men named ben and jerry as opposed to another disappointing blind date. 

“hey, are you even listening to me?” you scowl, throwing one of his pillows at him, which he manages to dodge even with his eyes still glued to the game on the screen. “yeah, i am.”

“then what did i say?”

“your friends are forcing you into another date this weekend and you don’t want to go.” you grumble under your breath at his response, but settle back against the bed. “i’ll just tell them i already have a boyfriend.”

“wait, what?” he immediately pauses the game, turning to look at you with wide eyes. “you have a boyfriend? who?”

“no one! it’s a lie, so they’ll stop playing matchmaker.” you shrug, and he lets out an inaudible sigh before saying, “that’s not gonna work. they’ll want to meet him.”

you groan before picking up your discarded phone on the floor. “you’re right. you think sicheng will agree to be my fake boyfriend for a few weeks in exchange for ice cream?”

“no.” he snatches your phone from your hand, abandoning his game entirely. “don’t ask him.”

“you’re right, he’ll blackmail me for the rest of my life. how about taeyong? or maybe jungwoo.” you stretch out for your phone, but he holds it even further away from you. when you stand up to grab it, he stands up as well, keeping it far out of your reach. “give me back my phone, jae.”

“only if you don’t ask them.” 

you frown at him, still stretching your arm out to grab your phone to no avail. “well then who do you think i should ask?” 

jumping up, your fingers barely brush the device and you lose your balance, nearly toppling over, but he catches you, pulling you closer to his chest. suddenly, you are hyperaware of exactly how close the two of you are, how his arm fits perfectly in the curve of your waist, how his lips are the loveliest shade of pink, how his eyes tentatively meet yours. but most importantly, you can feel his heart thumping as rapidly as your own as he breathes out,

“me.”

Congratulations on the new blog! I can't wait to see what you start putting out. If it is anything like the Sangyeon scenario I am sure I won't be disappointed, because it was so cute. Could I request Jacob and fairy lights? ♡♡♡

[prompt] jacob + fairy lights [words] 267 [a/n] thank you for the sweet message;; i really hope this blog will be loved by many theb’s! and thank you for requesting, i hope you like it♡

You heard Jacob calling your name and you opened your eyes as you tried to look up at him. You managed to see his sad frown and knew you had fallen asleep for a split second.

“You closed your eyes.”

You laughed quietly, still snuggling in his arms. It was a little discomforting because of how puffy your coats were, despite the two layers of blankets on your laps and your two cups of hot chocolate by your side. You both were sitting on your porch with your head resting on his shoulders under the fairy lights where you had set them up around the edges of it.

“I couldn’t help it. It was too calm.” You confessed. You fixed yourself, wrapping your arms around him as you faced him with your small smile. “I’ll make it up to you.”

“How?” He asked in whisper. His soft voice left chills running down your spine and you couldn’t stop getting lost in his sparkling eyes.

“I’ll stay awake for another 10 minutes before we head back inside. It’s getting a little cold.”

“Okay.” Jacob complied with a magical smile, if you were to call it. You rested back on his shoulders as he lapsed his arms around your waist. You sighed with no worries as you both listened to the quiet winter sounds of the night. Your eyes followed your white breath to the fairy lights, admiring how delightful the air felt with Jacob. He knew you would fall asleep, even on this romantic night as you closed your eyes that he wouldn’t even mind carrying you inside.

sweet touch

jacob x you, drabble 

[summary] jacob takes you out for a picnic date at the beach  [words] 355

The breeze from the ocean waves felt wonderful as you were holding onto your beach hat, sitting on a cloth with Jacob beside you. You were smiling as he was playing a nice melody on his guitar, his voice serenading to you like he did whenever he asked you if his songs sounded beautiful. You almost giggled when you turned to him, your hand picking up a fork to poke a strawberry. You reached it over to him, stopping him from singing as the fruit bumped onto his lips. He laughed, his mouth opening for it with his hand covering it. 

He did the same, selecting your favorite fruit in the cute bento boxes from the same fork and brought it up to your pink lips. With a grin, you took it too. 

“Hey, you remember this?” Jacob asked, looking down at the strings on his guitar as he played a familiar song. Of course, you remembered. You smiled, covering your blushing cheeks, hearing his lovely lips sing the song he confessed to you. You began to rock along, moving from side to side until he was done, your hands clapping a deserving applaud. 

“Can I try?” You asked, your hands opening in front of him before he handed you his guitar, a soft smile watching how perfectly it fit with you. It was his turn to hear you play a song for him, though you don’t do it often. He saw that you were struggling a little so he got up and went behind you. 

“Let me help you.” Jacob whispered, fixing your fingers at the strings with his arms over and under yours. You were blushing still, probably harder this time as you stared at him, noticing how warm his eyes were where they haven’t met yours yet in this moment. 

Quickly, you pecked his cheek, his surprised look turning to you. He suddenly smiled, his rosy cheeks heated at the touch then he looked back at your fingers, helping you play a melody as you couldn’t look at him because you knew he’d kiss your lips if you turned back to him.

jacob x you, drabble

[summary] jacob feels so lucky to have you [words] 432 [a/n] this is so soft;; i made this a drabble instead of a scenario @ the jacob anon :’) hope you like this ♡ 

You’ve been replaying the same mix for a few times before you twisted your head, wondering if the different instruments harmonized with each other. You sighed, turning to Jacob, who was sitting next to you, staring at you with such a loving look. He was supposingly helping you with this music project for his new cover coming out next week, but instead, you felt like he was trying to help make you blush.

“Something wrong, Jacob?” You hesitated, your face feeling small as you lowered your head. He shook his head, his smile still lingering there with those eyes that you love so much.

“Nothing.” He suddenly giggled but it was soft, almost as if his voice tickled your ears. He just couldn’t help admiring you, the whole you from your eyes to your toes, the ardent heart you have that he would never wish for anything more.  "I just feel so lucky to have you.“

You felt your heart shaking at the small yet meaningful confession. You thought you had lost it when his smile grew wider yet it was still as soft as ever.

You watched his fingers brushing each other at his lap when he looked down at them. He sighed quietly, having more courage to express his love for you as he looked back up at you with his sparkling eyes. You wondered how they still shine in that dimmed studio room as he continued. "Being with you makes my galaxy full of stars, watching you care so much about what I want to do makes my life feel so complete. I just feel so damn lucky that I- love being yours and you being mine. You’re really the best thing that ever happened to me.”

You were speechless, wondering why he had to make you blush more. You didn’t even move until a few seconds later, covering your face. You giggled, embarrassed at his sweet words. Jacob tried to reach for you as he giggled along.

“What? Why are you like that?”

“Because!” You removed your hands and Jacob beamed again seeing your beautiful smiling face. You sighed, having a hard time looking up at him. “I love you too, Jacob. You didn’t have to say all of that and make my face so red.”

He giggled again, taking your hand as he pressed it against his cheek. He moved closer to you and finally took a look at your mix. He took a glance back at you and knew you were still shy about his sudden confession. You could tell, he just loves you so much.

[starsjwy]

[5:15pm] Ever since Jacob let you pick music from his phone during your study session last week, you can’t seem to stop your heart from fluttering whenever you hang out with him now, nor can you stop thinking about the playlist you found with your name on it.

[8:34pm] imagine hyunjin covering you with a blanket and softly kissing the top of your head after you fell asleep on your math book

[starsjwy]

[[Hyunjin 5:17pm]]

In the morning, I woke up. I was still surrounded by the scent of her sweet perfume but I wasn't feeling the heat radiate off her body. I sat up and the coolness of the house hit my skin. I noticed it was raining outside and I turned to the clock. 7:30. I am up a bit early, school doesn't start until 9, so I usually don't get up until 8. It was currently autumn, Y/N's favorite season. I looked out of the window that was in her room and saw the reds, oranges, and yellows of the trees outside, blowing with the wind and the rain. I finally got out of bed and felt the cold hardwood against my feet and the cold temperature of the house nipping at my bare chest. When I exited her room, I see her on the couch. She was wrapped in a blanket and reading a book. The smoke from her drink, which I recognized as her favorite tea, was rising into the air. She looked so peaceful and I didn't want to disturb her, but I craved her body heat at this moment since I feel so cold. "Shouldn't you be asleep?" I asked her, my voice deep from just waking up. "I couldn't. I woke up at 7 and couldn't seem to go back to sleep. So I made tea, got a book from the bookshelf, wrapped myself in a blanket, and got comfortable." She says, her voice quiet and as smooth as honey. Like it usually is when it is early in the morning. I joined her on the couch, pulling her onto my lap. She lifts her arms to wrap the blanket around me and I wrapped my arms around her waist. She leaned her head onto my shoulder,"Now we both can be comfy and warm." She murmured and continues to read her book.

A/N: I was actually in the middle of writing an AU, that will never be posted, when I wrote this as a part of it and I thought it'd be a cute drabble to post, so here you guys go! I hope you enjoyed it💕!!

Winter 2018 Anime Watchlist

Wow, this is almost inexcusably late Dx I’m so sorry, this should’ve gone up last week. It took me so long because I was waiting for Fate/Extra -which premiered three weeks into the season for inexplicable reasons- and then other stuff came up during the week. The good side is that it’s allowed me to get a better grasp on what these shows are doing and rank them more accordingly to my expectations rather than just the first impressions (except Fate Extra because I’ve only watched one episode -_-. Anyway, here’s the list for the Winter shows I’m watching

Dropped

Pop Team Epic: Not my kind of comedy. Honestly that’s all there is to this show, whether it’s type of comedy (or anti-comedy) works for you. It didn’t extract a single chuckle from me, so no point in watching more of it.

KOKKOKU: The premise is interesting, the interactions between the family members felt very human and realistic and the main character was pretty cool, but the look of the show is terrible and the pacing is stressfully slow. At the end of episode 2, the nephew and the brother hadn’t been rescued yet -and there seemed to be no hurry in that regard- and that just made gratuitously anxious

Sora Yori Tooi Basho: I think that this show, like Girls’ Last Tour, has a lot of potential, but I’ve been burned before and with the pacing of episode two I just had this nagging feeling that the show would manage to flounder around all season without the girls ever making it to Antarctica, which would be a bummer. So I’ll wait for the season to end, and if they do end up getting there I’ll pick it up again.

Citrus: Citrus leaves me in a complicated position because Yuzu is a very charming lead and it’s very easy to root for her, I strongly feel that I want to follow her story. But on the other hand, her love interest / stepsister (thanks Japan) is utterly unlikable, and so far every “romantic” advancement in the story is basically sexual assault. It’s odd because Yuzu herself feels realistic, but the development of the romance is immensely artificial. By the end of episode 2, Yuzu declares she’s inequivocally in love with her sister (idr her name), even though none of the events of the show to that point make her quick infatuation believable at all, considering the sister in question only insults her, dismisses her or sexually assaults her every time they interact. (Update: After episode 4 I want nothing to do with the Everyone is a Lesbian and All Lesbians are Rapists show)

Chopping Block

Basically, I’m gonna drop one or more of this shows sooner than later. I’m still not sure of which one

Darling in the FRANXX: If you thought Welcome to the Ballroom was aggressively heterosexual, DarliFra wants you to hold its beer. Episode 1 was a little iffy with its eyeroll inducing cliché meet-cute between the two leads, itsheteronormative central conceit (a man-woman pair is necessary to operate the giant robots and they take on roles named after the reproductive parts of flowers), but if that wasn’t enough for you, episode 2 is 24 minutes of cheap juvenile innuendos at least 70% of the dialogues have very obvious, very intentional double-meanings- coupled with extremely unsubtle “hyuk hyuk they are totally not in a sexual position” imagery, plus an infinite numer of ass shots (only of the girls, obviously). The whole thing reeks of sleazy, hipocritically critical of the dystopian society it depicts whilst simultaneously objectifying and sexualizing its adolescent leads with the most bottom of the barrel, lowest common denominator possible jokes and framing. Depending on how episode 3 goes I’ll either drop it or choose it as my hatewatch show of the season. (Update: Episode 3 was a mixed bag, so I guess I’ll keep watching for now)

Basilisk Ouka Ninpou Chou: We’re three episodes in and it doesn’t feel like this story is going anywhere. The production values are terrible, and the initial conceit -that Oboro and Gennosuke had time to make babies at some point during the original Basilisk series- makes literally no sense whatsoever. I’m a huge fan of the original Basilisk, but this is giving me nothing so far. Honestly the only thing keeping me around is how close the designs are to the original, basically the character designers are invoking my fondness for the original series and cheating me into believing I like this one too. Which I don’t, but for the time being I’ll hang on.

Violet Evergarden: I’m having war flashbacks to the Summer of 2017 when all the shows I was most excited about turned out to be hugely disappointing. Violet isn’t “hugely disappointing” yet but it’s very… eh.  Violet herself (or, in the incredibly wise words of @shaniajurgen​ , “Full Metal Saber”) is just incredibly unrelatable and unoriginal as a character. I’ve seen this exact same story (emotionally stunted lead learns about human emotions) at least a dozen times, and the stories we’re seeing here so far are following the same plot beats as other stories of the ssame kind. The production itself is beautiful, but Violet feels more like a kuudere waifu than an actual character. I’m hoping it will improve and that it’ll have stories I haven’t already seen 10 times before, and that the emotional payoff is worth it

Koi wa Ameagari no you ni: This is a complicated show to talk about because the subject matter is inherently iffy -a 17 year old girl falls in love with a 45 year old man- The opening also pretty much gives away that they will in one way or another pursue a romantic relationship, so no hopes of this turning into a heartwarming parental dynamic like Amaama to Inazuma . It is important to note that writing fictional stories with fictional characters about this subject matter is not in itself problematic, but the framing of it can absolutely be malicious. Thus, if someone feels uncomfortable about it, that doesn’t make them a prude, but at the same time, enjoying the show doesn’t make you a pedophile. Bottomline is that the framing will make or break the show, and so far, it’s treading a very delicate line in that regard. On one hand, both Akira and Kondo are treated as realistic human characters; on the other, there are certain aspects of the narrative that seem to play up to the ‘nice guy’ mentality -she was throwing herself at me! I’m completely harmless!-. It’s not heavyhanded enough to be off-putting, but it does make me feel cautious about where they’re going with this. (Update: Episode 4 was definitely off-putting, enough to make me consider dropping it.)

??????

Stuff I’m watching that I’m not super passionate about I guess

Fate/Extra Last Encore: Well, this sure is a SHAFT show. Of course, Extra has a disadvantage against the other shows, having aired one episode vs the others’ 3-4, so for now I’ll keep it on a trial run. It’s bizarre and overly criptic and please don’t cut yourself on that edge son. I’m also not a fan of bringing back the original Fate cast, just replacing the original Palurdo with a different Wake ME Up INSIDE Palurdo. Apocrypha was decent because it avoided most pseudo philosophical Nasu bullshit, but they’re doubling down on that here, so that could be a problem. We’ll have to see how they handle the action scenes and whether they’re able to create compelling character dynamics

How to keep a Mummy: It’s a cute show. An aggressively cute show. Occassionally too triehard in its cuteness. If you’re into cute shows this is for you, if not, there’s really nothing to chew on. I hope we get the new monsters soon or some sort of character arc, much as I enjoy the cuteness, I do need a little bit more meat in my Chinese cartoons

Classicaloid: My feelings on Classicaloid vary wildly depending on the last episode I watched, and in this case, the latest episode wasn’t really good. I loved the part with Beethoven being blown away by the performance of the 9th, but otherwise the jokes felt like cheap potty humor. You can do much better Classicaloid

Hakumei to Mikochi: So, rather than a fantasy adventure, this is actually a fantasy slce of life. Which is fine in itself, but in a season that has a dozen feel-good slice of life stuff, it needs an extra punch to stand out. The characters are good and fun to watch and the stories are cute, the visuals have a lovely children’s book look, but there’s not much that is particularly memorable. But it’s cute and there are worse shows I’m watching, so I’ll keep it around.  

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens: This is a weird show because I slept through most of episodes 1 and 2 but the final cliffhanger of each episode made eager to keep watching. After episode 4, I’m definitely interested in seeing where they go with this premise. The dynamic between Lin and Banba is great and although the direction and production are mostly uninspired, the story seems interesting enough to grant some attention

Finally some good stuff

My favorite stuff of the season and the only thing keeping me from launching myself into the sun given how sucky my classes this semester are

GARO Vanishing Line: The plot thickens as our heroes approach the mysterious El Dorado. Now that we’ve had a Gina-centric and a Sword-centric episode the cast feels well rounded and their deynamics have evolved in a really wonderful way. I definitely love the family-like relationship they have now, with the latest episode shedding some light on how Sword may be seeing her sister in Sophie. I’m really happy with how this show has developed since its early episodes. 

Yowamushi Pedal Glory Line: There’s not much I can say about Yowapeda at this point, you either like to see 3 kilometers of a bicycle race stretched into an hour of television or you don’t. I do find it interesting that Onoda seems to have fallen completely to the sidelines, hardly appearing in the first four episodes. I also wonder how long this’ll be because we’re 4 episodes in in and we haven’t been able to finish the first day of the race, even though we started like 3km off of it, so unless this is two-cour I worry we won’t see the end of the Inter High.

Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments: I’m quite ahead of the manga for this one so there are hardly any surprises here. I think implementing the numerical power levels was very stupid and I’m not sure what Suzuki was thinking when he decided to add it but w/e. Ban is my favorite character so ‘m enjoying these first episodes centered on him. I’m mostly excited to see Escanor though! And the choreography of the Diane vs Gowther fight was superb.

Sanrio Danshi: I must admit this show has fallen a little from my good graces in the recent episodes. Episode 2 was brilliant and it made me think maybe this show could be better written than your average toy commercial. And although it is, episodes 3 and 4 haven’t lived up to the highs established by 2. Instead of just focusing on the issues the boys face from liking Sanrio things, they’ve overcomplicated the conflicts, making them incomprehensible, and the resolutions feel rushed here’s hoping we have more episodes like 2.

Gakuen Babysitters: The surprise of the season! Although it stumbled a little in the first half of episode 3, this overall wins for the cutest show of the season, and the one with most heart. It’s struck an excellet balance showing the chiildren’s cutest and also most obnoxious sides too. The end of episode 1 in which Ryuuichi realizes he can’t call his parents for help was extremely well executed, striking at the heartstrings with a very realistic and human approach to tragedy. Also, I love Kirin and her kirin plushie. Hope we get a Kirin centric episode soon. Just delete the “pedo” character please.

Mahoutsukai no Yome: My thoughts on this show are about the same as last season, it’s a lovely story with extremely powerful moments that is occassionally brought down by weird pacing choices, like how they rushed Chise’s transformation into a fox. I do have to call the show out for the OP, it’s the laziest thing I’ve ever seen, completely made up of recycled shots from the first cour. As much as I love May’n, the song falls short to the power JUNNA’s Here had. If they weren’t gonna add anything to the OP that was relevant to the second cour they should’ve just kept the first one.

Card Captor Sakura: Clear Card: I am so happy and so relieved to see Sakura has escaped the curse of “20 year later reboot” that befell on other classics. They nailed the feel of the show to a tee, and I’m just overall so happy to get to see the characters I so love once again. I am concerned about the repetitive plot beats and about the original cards getting seemingly forgotten, but I’m confident in this team that has proved to make justice for such a beloved show. 

That’s the winter season, a few standouts, a few great surprises, a lot of stuff that is just kinda there and a shitload of slice of life. What are you thinking about the season? Which are your favorite shows and which ones have you dropped so far?
