lgc family concert 2k24 : panel solo.

Family concert time is always a highlight, brimming with excitement and joy. It's more than just the thrill of being on stage and interacting with the fans; it's a cherished opportunity to reconnect with faces he's not seen in ages.

Since transitioning from his trainee days to becoming an actor, Minkyu has found himself missing many familiar faces. The concert provides a perfect chance to catch up, greet old friends, and make new connections. Backstage, Minkyu is a social butterfly, effortlessly moving from one person to another, greeting people left and right.

The real thrill, however, comes when the panels for the actors start. Minkyu’s heart races at the thought of one day having his own solo panel like more renowned actors; he dreams of a future where he can give his fans undivided attention, offering them more than the brief interactions he has now while sharing the stage with other talented actors.

For now he focuses on the present; his seat is neither at the center nor on the far edge—a perfect spot that allows him to see everyone clearly while maintaining a comfortable presence. His bright smile and upbeat energy remain constant as he listens attentively, nodding in agreement and showing genuine interest in every question and answer.

While many of the questions are quite standard, Minkyu doesn't expect anything extraordinary. He understands that this is a platform for straightforward conversations rather than deep revelations. When his turn finally arrives, he is completely engaged, responding to each question with sincerity and enthusiasm.

The mini-games that follow are equally enjoyable, offering moments of fun and bonding, showcasing the natural chemistry among the actors, and providing additional entertainment for the fans.

Time flies by, as it always does when you're truly enjoying yourself. It’s only when Minkyu finds himself back in the dressing room that he realizes just how swiftly the day has passed.

SD&L gala

Haemin was sure he looked presentable for the red carpet and nothing could have possibly happened in the last five minutes since he had checked his reflection last to render him a laughing stock in front of multiple media reporters and peers. But even equipped with that logic he suddenly felt as though he were naked, or had forgotten to put his trousers on and walked out into public which, obviously, he hadn't. Adrenaline flooded through his body presenting itself in foot tapping as he watched the more seasoned actors walk and talk their way along the red carpet into the gala with poise and grace that he had yet to learn or possess.

The camera flashes were dazzling to say the least as he finally made his way down the carpet making sure to smile and pose in front of the wall of reporters praying that his eyes weren't closed in most of the photos as spots of lights swam in front of him as he was ushered away. God, how did people get used to all those fucking flashes? Haemin fought the natural instinct to blink rapidly and screw his eyes shut for a moment (so unflattering) opting instead to greet the reporter who was waving him down for an interview.

It wasn't much of an interview, just a few questions about who he was and what he had been in over the past year. Haemin answered it all with an easy yet humble air mentioning his work on Hogamnote as the highlight and hoped that the following year would bring him more opportunities to meet the viewers in a variety of projects. He finished the interview with a wink and a quick blown kiss towards the camera that had been trained on his face before joining the others who were already inside the gala ready for a fun and celebratory evening.

TRAINEE MISSION 017 headcanon !

everything that happened during this program ( including the preparation of it ) had been fun, to minki. honestly, he didn't think he'd be able to perform like this so soon, especially because of the announcement that he would be a trial member in nknd. but then, minki thought about how it'd be beneficial to him, would even help him get back on the stage and performing as a whole before actually debuting. maybe that was what the company had in mind—preparing them for exactly that, which he's grateful for. legacy does always seem to think of the small details, even this.

every week had been fun, albeit tiring. that's a given, they have to practice and rehearse several songs and perform them all. minki finds it rewarding though, being able to see the efforts they've put into shine through during the live performances. he hopes the audience, themselves, would enjoy it.

admittedly, he liked all the songs that he had to perform—but undoubtedly, minki's favourite would be blue hour; for their seventh week. not only did he finally have an excuse to see jiho dance up close, teaching minki himself, he also gets to perform the song; it was fun. maybe he felt that spark he used to feel with dance, then. he hopes it'll last longer. he's starting to hope again, and that's dangerous.

there's a few skills he has to brush up on though. he doesn't know if he'll ever be put in a position to rap, but he knows he lacks something there. his vocals are a lot more stable now than during his first year in legacy, but it could be better. he'll keep that in mind, for the future. it's obvious that he'd have to work on both those things, before he actually debuts.

he's becoming a bit more confident that he can make it, though.

a dream with a baseball player

pairing. park jongseong x fem. reader

genre. fluff, babysitting, est. relationship wc. 314 warnings. kissing + parenthood mentioned, pet names (not proofread)

— in which you and jay take care of a baby. extra: i will never let any of u guys forget baseball jay

“jay where’s the milk bottle? she’s crying again,” you asked as you rocked dayeong in your arms. jay immediately rushed to the baby’s room which you were in and poked his head through the side of the doorframe, looking down as you rocked the infant side to side.

you and jay were tasked to babysit your aunts daughter for a day as she and her husband were having a day out. how your aunt even managed to convince you to agree you don’t even remember, but right now you were holding a crying baby in your arms.

“i got it,” jay smiled and entered the room, sitting beside you and bringing the nipple of the bottle to dayeong’s mouth, slowly feeding her her beloved milk.

you sighed a breath of relief as the infant stopped crying and continued suckling on her milk bottle.

you turned your head to look at jay and gave him a tired smile. “i didn’t know taking care of babies were that difficult.”

he reached his hand out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind your ear, causing your cheeks to redden and heat up.

“you’re doing a great job sweetheart,” he reassured and gave you a smile, “you’d be a great mother.”

there was a moment of silence. it wasn’t awkward, it was oddly comforting. all you did was gaze into his eyes; vice versa. instinctively, you leaned forward a little and he did the same.

“we shouldn’t let the baby see this, gotta keep it PG” he mumbled and gently covered dayeong’s eyes with his hand before pressing his lips against yours.

mid kiss, you suddenly heard crying again and you immediately pulled away from jay. he retracted his hand from dayeong’s eyes.

you both tried to figure out why she was crying. and then it hit you.

“i think we need to change her diaper man.”

mark x fem!reader

wc: 314

warnings: baby fever, breeding kink

U had been having the highest baby fever ever, and u just needed to share it with mark. “baby, look at the size of these socks” you say while holding the tiniest pink baby socks out to mark, withholding the cutest pout mark has seen on your face. “they are cute, princess” he says with a smile on his face.

When your eyes land on a little ruffled baby dress with, again, the biggest pout ever, you show it to him, “mark this is literally the cutest thing ever” you say “yes baby, it is. but who would it be for, nobody that we know is pregnant” mark says, and that puts gears in your head to spin, “I don’t know” you retort back. “it could be for our future baby one day”.

Oh, if only you knew how badly mark wanted to have babies with you. Once you told him that, you two went straight home.

“You want a baby, huh?”, mark quips while he has you ass up face down, slowly sliding his length inside of you. “mhm, want a baby, mark” you say in a whiny tone. “yeah baby, know you do, gonna give u all of it” he says while rubbing his hands on your ass and spreading your ass cheeks apart so he can see himself sliding in and out of you.

You start to back it up on him, and he matches your movements with his hips. “fuck… you hella creamy pretty thing, must want my babies real bad, huh?” mark says while slightly chuckling. You on the other hand were gripping the sheets and leaving spit and tears on the pillow case, whining out a soft “yes I do”. mark runs his hands down your spine and bends down to your ear still thrusting his hips and says, “gonna get you all round ‘n cute baby, cant wait to see you like that”.

hiii, tysm for the 440 notes on the last fic🥹🫂 also my baby fever had been THROUGH the roof, hence this ff 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 OH and merry christmas everybody. <333

sweet nothings

akaashi keiji; hint of spice but sfw ; u asked for spicy akaaashi and i deliver <3 @fuckinglevi

“I’ve read that a lot of people are into this,” Akaashi says, blinking owlishly at you.

The room is dimly lit, the light of flickering candles painting the walls in a soft, romantic glow.

“I-into…” you gesture wordlessly at the fruits and whipped cream, the honey and melted chocolate.

“Chocolate has been touted as an aphrodisiac since the ancient times,” Akaashi says. Your eyebrows twitch, a helpless smile threatening your lips.

“Yeah?” you decide to lean in, sauntering forward and dip a finger in the chocolate before wrapping your lips around it for a hard suck.

Akaashi swallows visibly.

“Uh — yes — I mean —”

You lean in to kiss him, his voice lost in the press of your lips on his. You tangle sticky fingers in his hair and he pulls back, pupils blown wide, his breath coming in staccato pants. You feel the press of his fingers along your hips and smile.

“C’mon then — you set all this up, tell me what you had in mind,” you say, letting your voice slip into the dark honey of lust, shimmying yourself back until you’re sitting up on the counter.

Akaashi gulps, gaze flickering down to the skin of your thighs.

“I just thought… you said you had a late start tomorrow…”

You smile, sweet and indulgent, reaching out to snick a strawberry from a bowl, dipping it in a liberal amount of whipped cream before lifting it up to press it to his lips. He opens his mouth without contest, his jaw going slack as he laves the cream from your fingertips.

You shudder, heat skittering down your spine.

“I do… so… does that mean you’ll promise to keep me up late tonight?”

Akaashi licks at this lips, “Only… if you tell me you want to be kept up.”

You let out a soft groan, “Oh, I really, really do.”

SUNBEAMS DANCED THROUGH THE WINDOWS, casting a warm glow on your faces as you sat at the kitchen table, sipping on steaming cups of coffee. you looked at heeseung, your heart skipping a beat as you admired his messy hair and tired eyes. unable to resist the overwhelming feeling of love, you leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

heeseung chuckled and returned the favor, gently planting a kiss on your forehead.

"you're so cute," he whispered, his heart swelling with affection.

your eyes sparkled as you blushed, your smile radiating with pure joy. "no, you're the cute one," you said, reaching out to push his cheeks together so his lips were in a pout before leaving a gentle kiss on them.

heeseung laughed and retaliated by planting a tiny peck on your temple. the giggles between you filled the room as your love blossomed with each affectionate gesture. it became a sweet and silly game, each of you trying to outdo the other with creative and adorable pecks. a kiss on the chin, to the wrist, or even on the back of the other's palm.

  it didn't matter if you were cooking together, watching a movie, or simply sitting on the couch together on your phones; the playful exchange of affection carried on throughout the day. you found each other irresistible and couldn't help but steal moments throughout the day to shower each other with these random expressions of love.

  your connection remained strong, and it seemed that no matter the activity, you discovered new ways to express your love through those unexpected, tender moments. as the hours passed, you both shared secret glances and knowing smiles, knowing that your bond was something truly special. the day was far from over, and the future was full of opportunities to deepen your connection and continue this beautiful journey of love.

Plspls Зима x russian reader? :3

a poet speaks from the heart

synopsis - general hcs with Зима and russian reader

includes - Зима [Zima]

warnings - gn!reader, reader is mentioned to be russian but only at some parts, fluff, slight pda, wc - 314

↪first off, being russian makes communication much easier. he struggles with speaking in any other language so this would be a great weight off him.

↪but that being said, even if you were from elsewhere he would try his absolute hardest to learn your language orif you wanted to, he would help you learn his.

↪ additionally, he can tell you his poems straight away. he doesn't need to translate them and he can immediately share them with you. plus it seems to have more meaning this way.

↪but not much would change. sure being russian meant mainly easier communication with him but even if you weren't he still love you the same.

↪ he's very new to relationships and love as a whole. while he is well versed in it from poems, that doesn't really translate well into a real relationship so he would still be figuring things out.

↪but he tries. and he shows his love in various kess obvious forms. such as reading his poems to or quality time.

↪100% his love language is quality time. at least one of. it doesn't even have to be much. it could just be you and him cuddled up next to each other wherever.

↪but he definitely isn't into pda. he might try if you like pda, but for the most part he hopes your fine with him not doing so well with it.

beel is one of my faaaaves other than mammon! i want him to squish me n' kiss me! i wrote this really fast cause i was brain rotting like crazyyyyyy!!!!!!!

you squirmed against the mattress, covered in a thin sheen of sweat as your mouth fell open. moans spilling freely past your drool covered lips as you tugged and clawed at the wine colored sheets. beel had kneeled beside the bed, making it much easier for him to access your much smaller body. his fat tongue swirled and flicked your clit, stimulating it over, and over, and over again. his large hands had a firm grip on your hips, leaving your legs thrown over his broad shoulders as he savored each orgasm he could get from you. 

you had lost track of how many orgasms you had given him. how many times he had gotten your toes to curl, your legs to shake, your juices to squirt and cream all over his mouth and chin. you could hardly think anymore.

“b-beel please- m’gonna die.” you were not going to die. but another orgasm might push you into the teetering edge of unconsciousness. “mmmm?” his deep and curious grumbled made you whimper as he pulled his mouth away from your cunt. the muscles twitched and throbbed, craving more and more of his attention until eventually your body ceased to function. “are you really going to die? i havent finished… i want to taste you a little more…” he complained with gentle kisses to your inner thighs. his spiky orange bangs clung to his forehead (you werent sure if it was cum or sweat) and his violet eyes with hints of pink would dart from you, and back down to your aching pussy. “just a lil bit…?” he mumbled a sad plea. you weakly reached out a hand and scratched his scalp with a tired smile. “just a little…” you cooed, flinching when he grinned and stuffed his face between your thighs to suckle your clit hungrily. 

he didnt plan to stop until you actually fainted.

@dorlenemicroficprompts, August 19th - Carving, G, WC - 314

“You have the knife, right?” Marlene asks, looking over to Dorcas as they make their way across the courtyard.

“You’ve asked this three times, Marls. Yes.” Dorcas can’t help the smile that crosses her face at her girlfriend’s eagerness.

“Sorry! I just want to make sure!” Marlene apologizes with a smile on her face as well.

“I know. Now stop worrying; we’re nearly there.” The two of them continue walking together, making their way over to the black lake.

There’s this one tree by the lake that nearly every couple at Hogwarts has carved their initials into. There’s hardly any space left, but Marlene is determined to find a spot for them.

When they find the tree, Marlene immediately starts searching for any available spaces. Looking high and low on every side of the tree. Dorcas just watches her, admiring how hard she’s looking for them.

“Cas!” She calls, pointing to a part of the tree. “Have your knife?”

Dorcas pulls it out of her pocket and passes it over to Marlene, admiring the spot she chose. It was a little further up on the tree, and it was nestled right beside MP + AW and ER + BC (which was written in a heart).

Grabbing the knife from her, Marlene starts carving their initials into the grain of the wood. DM <3 MM.

“There,” she breathes, flipping the knife in her hands. Dorcas looks over to her, worried for a split second, before Marlene catches the knife again. “We’ve made our mark,” Marlene smirks.

The black-haired girl laughs. “Guess we did.” She grabs Marlene’s waist, pulling her in for a chaste kiss, and whispers, “Filch is gonna find us over here; you want to come over to my dorm?”

The other girl smiles and nods her head. “Yeah, I’d pick your bed over detention any day.”

That earns an eye roll from Dorcas.

journal ☾ entry

trainee mission 011

January I understand the need to revisit the topic of image maintenance after the scandal we've had but to subject everyone to it seems a little bit… drastic. Why not just the people who have shown not to have sound judgement? Unless it's just an exercise of power and fear to keep the rest in line. I will say that I have enjoyed delving into the projects of our legacy sunbaenims in greater depth and seeing their passions for everything that they have been involved with. It has inspired me to become even more dedicated to my goals in the future.

February Is forced volunteering really volunteering in the true sense of the word? Cleaning the building and prepping ingredients for the kitchen didn't give me quite the sense of fulfillment volunteering usually does but delivering charcoal briquettes to all those families in need… made me feel like I was doing something useful, something greater. It was hard work, no two ways about it, and I did ache the next day but seeing how grateful the people were made it all worthwhile. It must be hard to be able to provide all the neccesities when one doesn't have the means.

March Throughout this month I have once again realised that I am definitely not linguistically gifted. Like at all. Improving my English, despite having lots of help and backup, was an uphill battle. There were many times where I wanted to just lay down and give up but I managed to persevere helped by copious amounts of caffeine and prayers my fellow trainees. I think that my presentation on my movie watching hobby was satisfactory but could always be improved upon in the future. In the far, far, far future. Honestly, I never want to see my presentation again but I will dutifully improve my English to avoid such embarrassing matters ever again.

Hi!! I love your work so much! Can I have 20+21 with Rei Sakuma please?

SAKUMA REI + 20: "shut up and kiss me already." & 21: "i've waited for so long just to say that to you."

warnings: cursing (reader), blood (rei's vampire bs), mildly raunchy humour

“Y/N-kun, this old man is so tired from all that hard work… Why don’t you give me a taste of your blood, just a small~ bit…?”

You yelp as sharp teeth graze against your pulse point, stumbling away from the self-proclaimed vampire with your hands pressed to your chest. What the fuck?!

“Kukuku, there’s no need to be so flustered~”

You smack Rei’s chest, ignoring his half-hearted attempts at gaining sympathy with his pitiful whining. Jeez, how red your face must be right now… Stupid sexy vampire…

“Aren’t vampires only supposed to drink from people they love and trust?” Or at least, that’s what Ritsu-kun has told you.

“Of course. Why do you think I asked?”

What’s that supposed to mean? “Don’t say things like that? It could give someone the wrong idea.” You scold.

“Well,” Rei gives you a lazy grin. “Maybe I want you to get the wrong idea~”

Your blush returns full-force. This bitch?! How can he say those things with a straight face? And he has the audacity to chuckle casually, like he didn’t just say that to you?!

“Oh? Is Y/N-kun secretly some sort of chaste maiden..? Kukuku, I didn’t know my words could have such an effect on yo–mmph?”

“Just…” You mutter with your eyes focused on your feet, hands fisted in the fabric of his shirt. “Shut up and kiss me already.”

“Gladly.” He doesn’t waste a moment before he’s diving back in to kiss you. It’s surprisingly gentle, at odds with what you would have expected from the leader of UNDEAD, but at the same time it manages to be so…Rei. When you two pull apart, you give him a faint nervous smile. “Sorry…I've waited for so long just to say that to you.”

“Well,” He smiles. “I’ve waited quite a while to do that to you, so I suppose we are even, yes?”

izland dolgok és fun fact friday

(...lett volna, ha nem felejtem el tegnap posztolni 😀)

amik így szembejöttek meg előjöttek, meg nekünk érdekes volt, vagy csak simán hasznos infó bárkinek:

ennyi Teslát meg Polestart még életemben nem láttam, mint itt

a 90km/h a helyieknek ha jól sejtem csak ajánlás. jó az 95-100-nak is a töküres úton. nyomni kell!! meg előzni, akkor is, ha én is 92-93-mal megyek amúgy. de nem bántam, ha előztek, legalább nem a seggemben tailgate-eltek

a hülye izlandi kétsávos körforgalmak. némi utánaolvasás, reddit keresés, youtube videók után leesett, h hogy működnek. szerencsére út közben nem volt sok, északon futottunk bele egy városban, akkor se kaszált el a busz, utána a túra végén Reykjavíkban voltak újra, de addigra felkészültem, és bár para volt, úgy használtam, ahogy a helyiek, és nem basztak el. a lényegük, h a belső sávnak van elsőbbsége. őrjítő!

egyetlen fizetős útszakasz van a szigeten, északon egy alagút, de azt is el lehet kerülni (ahogy tettük mi is, mert inkább nézelődök, mint egy sötét lyukban vezetek)

az Android Auto (igen, a CarPlay is ugyanilyen fasza lehet) óriási hatalmas segítség volt, ha akarnék autót, most ennél húznám meg az alsó határt, h ezt tudja

a szél 70-100km/h-val fúj vagy sehogy

a legolcsóbb kávé, amit láttam 300 volt. korona, nem ft.

egy csapolt sör 1300-1400isk, boltban 200-250-300 is akár

egyébként nagyjából olyan árak vannak, mint itthon forintban az összeg, csak ISK-ban és ugyebár szorzódik 2,7-tel...

kurvasok a birka az országban (jó, az itthon is haha), de tényleg, alig 400k emberre jut 800k birka (éérted, kétharmad, HAHI)

májusban kiterelik a birkákat, h menjenek világgá legelni, aztán szeptemberben összeszedik őket és beterelik a birkaelosztókba szétválogatni

készpénzt egyedül a bedobós zuhanyzónál használtunk, ott is a kemping recepción kaptuk az ötvenkoronásokat, amúgy még a legvilágvégibb wc is érintősfizetős volt.

büszkék a tiszta ivóvízükre, sok helyen volt kút feltölteni a kulacsot, tartályt

a meleg víz több helyen kénes szagú, mivel az is kb. egyenesen a földből jön

a Parka app hasznos parkoláshoz (és akár kemping kereséshez is)

vedur.is időjáráshoz

road.is, umferdin.is az utak állapotához

krónan, bonus, netto a bevásárláshoz

tökre nem éri meg kaját cipelni repülőn

ha kicsit mégjobban átgondoljuk a pakolást, sztem simán elfértünk volna két hátizsákban tíz napra #wtfnagybőröndösturisták

így szeptember elején még a télikabát se lett volna túlzás időnként, de fasza aláöltözőkkel, rétegesen öltözve nem fáztunk

a bakancs kellett valóban időnként. az esőnadrág nagyon musthave volt!

benzinkutakon van szinte mindenhol ingyen kézi kocsimosó lecsapatni a retket a kocsiról. (viszont kéztörlő vagy kesztyű kevés helyen volt tankoláshoz)

szinte az összes benzinkút önkiszolgáló (a dízel 308-314 ISK/liter volt)

kocsibérléshez nem árt ha van credit card

szinte mindenki tud angolul

az amerikai turisták iszonyat idegesítőek

meglepő módon sok a lengyel (mármint nem turista, hanem ott lakó)

@mar-lenka folytatja a sort, ha eszébe jut még valami

warnings: brief mention of stress from exams, not proofread

a/n: enjoy the autumn vibes. managed to write something amongst the stress that is life rn. and always, if you want to help a girl beat the algorithm, reblog!

autumn in korea was a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors, with golds, oranges, and reds accompanying you on afternoon walks. a chill breeze ran through the foliage, making the weather cool but not entirely uncomfortable.

in this crisp autumn air, you found yourself alone with kang yeosang, enjoying a picnic in seoul forest. the rest of your friends—wooyoung, san and gahyeon—had left to get more food. you two were in the midst of the park, which left a comfortable silence only broken by distant chatter and the calls of birds.

not that you minded, of course. with him, thankfully, silence wasn't a barrier to your bond.

the two of you stayed like this for a while. feeling relaxed, you took a pastry from the bag beside you and began to eat it, savoring the flavor.

everything about this day felt so blissful in contrast to the prior days of the week. you tapped yeosang on the shoulder, and he turned to you.

"you know, thanks for convincing me to go on this picnic with you guys. i guess i needed it."

he smiled peacefully at you. "figured you did. you may not think i notice it, but you always stress yourself out, especially during exam season."

"ah yes, exams, the fruit of my hard-earned labor," you quipped.

he laughed, and drummed his fingers lightly on the knuckles of your hands. "don't worry, you've got this. and for the record, i'm glad you're here with everyone. it's good to hang out with you. just make sure to rest, okay?”

“i will.”

he held out his pinky and grinned.

“promise?”

overwhelmed with love, you interlocked your own pinky with his.

“i promise.”

wordlessly, you brought him into a hug. his embrace was soft as the autumn wind and vibrant as the autumn foliage.

it was then, you knew, that you were safe and your heart, at ease.

Week 11 Blog

This week I read pages 180-200 of the book "Slow Train to Switzerland" by Diccon Bewes.

The most important quote of the week can be found on page 282: ”I spend four years with Jemima, reading her words and following her across Europe, and end up discovering that I’m loosely related to her daughter in law”. The reason is that the author finds out that he is somewhat related to the author of the diary and that he has been following its steps and getting information on where to go next in Switzerland. The author is obviously surprised and shocked to get this notice from his father, who recognized one of the names that had popped up, the one of Robert’s wife- Margaret Leir from Hertfordshire, the author was understandably spooked, but also excited and surprised by this new revelation.

I was just as surprised as the author to find out that he was actually related to the diary's author, even though not I have been closely watching as he uncovers the mysteries of Switzerland while following the diary, as if I am the one in Switzerland. The way they only uncover this information by the end of the book gives me a feeling of wanting to know more, as if there's more to this adventure, like, are there more diaries?  We know that the author of the diary, Jemima, had traveled to other countries in Europe, maybe she wrote more diaries, one about each trip she did.The end leaves us with many questions unanswered, and I believe they are going to be kept unanswered as there is no continuation for this book. I was extremely delighted with this book, as I have a place in my heart for Switzerland, and I am sad that unfortunately, the book came to an end, but I still hope to unravel more about this amazing country.
