#VAAINGLORIOUS is an independent, selective and private role-play blog for SATORU GOJO of Jujutsu Kaisen. This blog is OC/AU friendly. Duplicates welcomed to follow. Trigger Warnings for violence, descriptions pertaining to death and blood, and Unsafe for Work content. Minors and personal accounts do not interact. Not spoiler free. Written by Rubii (They/21+)

NAVI.

CAARD → X

BLOGS -> Multi-muse, Megumi, Sukuna

Ⅰ. This blog will be on low activity for a while until I get myself together, but even then, activity will remain sporadic but there. I have other obligations in life I'll attend to that are way more important to me than a fun hobby. However, you're free to send asks and bug Gojo as much as you want to.

Ⅱ. I have pretty bad eyesight, and even though I wear glasses I can't see very well. Please make sure that your icons are no smaller than 80x80 and not heavy with decorations. I understand having pretty aesthetics and such, but if it hinders my ability to perceive what's going on in your icon, it'll give me a headache.

Ⅲ. Do not interact with me if you ship any of the students with Gojo. I don't entertain Stu.dentxTea.cher relationships. On that topic, if you're a general asshole who can't respect people as a whole, just don't interact. And again, if you are a minor do not follow me, this blog is not for you. Personal blogs are welcomed to reblog images/gifs from me, but do not like/reblog any roleplay threads, asks, or just anything roleplay related. Regarding these rules, I'm just going to block you and curate my space for me.

Ⅳ. Communication is important. This includes wanting to plot, RP, ship, talk, anything. I know the first 3 rules are kinda harsh and such, but I like to think I'm a chill person.

Ⅴ. I will only interact with people who are mutuals. Anons are fine, but I don't really enjoy role-playing through that method. Don't like any starter call posts, or shipping call posts unless we're mutuals.

Ⅵ. I don't know if people still do passwords, but I don't send those in. I do my best to remember everyone's rules but at the end of the day, I'm human and forgetful. As such, if you need to soft block, feel free to otherwise approach me to be wary of something I've done that makes you uncomfortable and I'll try to correct myself.

Ⅶ. No god-modding in fights please. Talk to me first if you have an idea, or if your muse is planning on doing something to gravely wound mine.

Ⅷ. Don't force ships on me as well. I'm fine letting things slowly burn, or if we both ship something then talk to me about it. I understand that you and your muse would be excited to have Gojo as a partner/family member, but unless its pre-established and discussed, I'm just not going to be as on-board with the excitement. I will stress that communication is important and the key to fun RPs and such.

Ⅸ. Remember the basics such as: Muse and Mun aren't synonymous. Gojo's beliefs and morals may not always line up with the things that I believe in or consider right. However, as a writer, it's my belief that we are able to open our minds and explore different ways of thinking. Don't be an asshole; don't be rude. Don't take Gojo saying something blunt as me disliking your muse and all that stuff.

Ⅹ. Have Fun!

‖⠀𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑.

⠀⠀hello!⠀call me nova.⠀I’m over 21, an artist and a roleplayer, and use he / she / they.⠀I have been writing on platforms like twitter or discord for many years now, and have been on tumblr for a few months as of writing this!⠀as such — and I must stress this — I am not familiar with everything still, so if you ever have any tips or find I’m doing something incorrectly, please let me know!

⠀⠀I’m more than willing to chat out of character at any time, but find I can be pretty shy speaking to new people, so please offer a little patience.⠀I have a discord, if you would ever want to add me to roleplay there or just chat!⠀feel free to ask if we’re mutuals.

⠀⠀the account follows from bioodtipped.

⠀

‖⠀𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒.

⠀⠀THIS ACCOUNT IS MARKED AS 18+.

⠀⠀ⅰ.  this account may potentially include dark topics, and considering my age I am not comfortable with minor followers.  sexual themes won't be a concern here;⠀both mun and muse are over 18, but the muse has no interest.

⠀⠀ⅱ.  account may feature a mix of my own art, fanart ( always sourced ), or official works.  I’ll happily take any down at any point if requested.

⠀⠀ⅲ.  I can go from one - liners to multi - paragraph RPs!  I won’t ask you to match my detail or length at all, but putting in a similar level of effort is definitely appreciated.

⠀⠀ⅳ.  this account is open to multifandom.⠀I’m willing to write even if I may not know your source material, just give me some slack.

⠀⠀ⅴ.  although this account might feature occasional dark themes, my absolute limits of what I'm willing to see are anything involving obvious, commonly triggering topics.⠀I’m prone to blocking if I see that sort of thing, especially untagged.

⠀⠀ⅵ.  please hardblock me if you’d like to break the mutual!⠀I have a shabby memory and can’t always tell if you softblocked me, thus may refollow without realizing.⠀I’d like to avoid putting you on the spot, and you’d likely want to avoid softblocking me multiple times before I catch up to what’s going on.

⠀⠀ⅶ.  personals are welcome to interact, but please do not reblog anything without my explicit permission.⠀I am also open to non - mutuals writing with me, but it's a case - by - case thing.⠀if I don't want to interact, I'll likely block.

⠀⠀ⅷ.  putting it up front — my muse has secrets.⠀you're free to theorize out of character, but infomodding is not going to fly here.⠀if you think it might be relevant to your character in some way, message me and we can plot!⠀:p

now that i have all of my drafts done, i’d love to get some more plots going. so please give this a LIKE if you would like to plot something for a starter. this includes all of my muses (ocs, canons and muses on sideblogs) and i’m very interested in plotting with people i haven’t interacted with much or at all. i want to love all of my mutuals, so if you’re a mutual and you’ve been looking for an excuse to interact? please don’t hesitate!

introducing... alex!

➜ Ⅰ. about

hey hi hello! welcome to my little tumblr island. you can call me alexios, alex, mars, or brailie. i prefer the first three. i use they/he/she pronouns. i prefer the first two, especially he/him. i am sixteen years old, in my junior year of high school. im transmasc, nonbinary and aroace. please only use masculine and neutral terms on me! im neurodivergent (adhd, autism and tourettes). my birthday is february 28th, born in the year 2006!

➜ Ⅱ. content

im an oc and fan artist. i usually draw lord of the flies content using my designs for the kids! i also reblog lotf, madoka magica, and hadesgame fanart, as well as general posts i find funny/informative. i don't have commissions set up just yet but i hope to take them in the future. i accept art trades (they're always open) so if you want to do one just send me an ask or message me! i especially like art trades where we draw each other's designs for a specific lotf character so feel free to hmu about those too

➜ Ⅲ. lotf

my main hyperfixation right now is lord of the flies. that is almost exclusively the type of art you'll see on my page. here's some stuff related to my lotf content!

relationships:

ralph x jack (romantic)

simon x roger (romantic)

maurice x sam (romantic)

piggy x bill (queer platonic)

ralph and piggy (best friends)

jack and roger (best friends)

percival and max (best friends)

simon and wilfred (friends)

simon and maurice (friends)

ralph, piggy, and simon (trio)

jack, roger, and maurice (trio)

piggy and jack (rivals)

aus:

lord of the disambiguation - often called disambiguation for short. an extended version of lotf that picks up right after jack splits off from ralph's group. no one dies. the two groups just have to find a way to live and work together to survive

lord of the high school - a semi-modern au that follows the kids as they try to navigate british private school life. the name is a misnomer since they're actually in middle school, not high school (i didn't change the ages) but it's too late to change it now

lord of the epilogue - picks up right at the end of the book. just a continuation of the story. features the crew of the naval ship, who happen to be led by ralph's father. unfortunate events happen

related:

land of tall faith - also called forgiveness of a god unknown. a story based on my prediction for what lotf would be about before i read it. follows a european girl entering a foreign society and experiencing their culture. after connecting with their god, proving her loyalty, and being sacrificed multiple times, she eventually decides to stay with them instead of returning to her society. characters' appearances are based on lotf characters

woodingham manor - a criticism of lotf, which seeks to show the flaws in the book's message. presents the story of a detective group investigating a cold case that visits an old manor to find clues, but find themselves locked in. things happen, people die, and truth finally sets them free. the plot and characters need reworking, please bare with me. all characters are based on lotf characters

links:

lord of the headcanons

This self insert series was created/planned by the wonderful @shoutamajiki​ and is based off of the insane discord conversations and friendships we have made in the past few weeks. The story follows the female volleyball team from Okami International Academy, a school that has been ranked top three in the national team in Japan for the last five years. When the girls training camp gets cancelled, Okami’s coach makes a last minute call to attend the boys training camp where powerhouse teams from all over Japan come to practice under one roof. 

The main plot/characters/masterlist for the series is found here . With permission from Nana, I have written a few snippets for the Okami self insert that are ‘bonus scenes’ that add more context/background for characters and loosely follows the main storyline. 

Team Members: @kirislut, @goopyartiste, @katsushimaa, @nieve-blancas-deactivated202010, @hannahalanib1, @icejins​, @art0saurus, @sugas-sweetheart, @estridries, @suggiebabe​, @shoutamajiki, @deephasoceanmagic, @yee-harr, @spookykiri, @peach-pops

Ⅰ. Bonus Scene One

[inspired by a conversation where I told the group I jog every morning while @estridries and @goopyartiste​ admit they can’t do a push up]

Emma shook her head as she watched the two girls in front of sprawled out across the floor, completely out of breath,” If you guys are in pain, imagine the pain I’m feeling watching you guys struggle with a simple workout. We’re Okami athletes for crying out loud! We’re one of the best teams in Japan and you two can’t even do a couple of push-ups.” 

Isa could only manage to let out a pathetic whine as she lifted her head off the floor of the gym to give a pleading look to their dear vice-captain,” H-Hours! We’ve been- ohmygod- we’ve been training since this morning! Can’t we get a break?” 

“ I don’t know Isa, do you deserve a break?” Emma asked as she kneeled down in front of the two girls who were still panting. 

Lily cursed under her breath and cursed even louder at her supposed “mentor” when the two girls locked eyes with each other,” You’re fucking crazy.”

Sofia, who was watching by the sidelines the whole time, couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh from underneath her breath. "Suckers” she thought to herself as she continued to eavesdrop on her teammates’ torment. She continued to pretend to tie her shoe as she listened closely, not wanting to miss a single word. 

“ Crazy?” Emma turned to Amy, who couldn’t care less about the situation unfolding in front of her as she stretched on the floor for the next match,” you hear that Amy? Lil thinks I’m crazy for making them train! Do you think I’m crazy Amy?” 

“ Yes,” Amy answered not even a second later as she closed her eyes and tried to muffle everyone’s voices out. Amy could think of one hundred other places she could be right now and ninety-nine of those places had to do with Karasuno’s first-year setter, Kageyama. Amy tuned out the rest of the gym as she ducked her head down to her knees to hide the blush that was creeping up on her face. 

Emma ignored Amy’s comment and turned her head back to her younger teammates,” Fine. You guys can have a break but give me five more laps around the gym and then you’ll be done.” 

Isa let out another tired whine as she frantically shook her head in,“ What! Screw that! No-”

“ If you finish fast enough, you can catch a glimpse of Hinata coming out of the boys locker room,” Emma interrupted as Isa’s jaw dropped. 

Isa immediately scrambled off the floor and took off toward the outer perimeter of the gym to finish her five laps, leaving Lily alone on the gym floor. 

Emma turned back to Lily, who looked like she was seconds away from losing her mind. Emma only raised her eyebrows as if to say ‘did you not hear me?’ 

“ Where’s Meg or Nana? They wouldn’t torture us like this!” Lily complained as she looked around the gym for her upperclassmen. 

“ Nana is with that rooster dude and Meg is…” Emma tried to keep her composure as she thought of her captain’s flirtatious escapade with a certain red-haired boy,” occupied.” 

“ W-Well you can’t make me run anymore!” 

“ Oh yes the hell I can,” Emma said as she crossed her arms over her chest sternly,” we’re playing Aoba Johsai tomorrow in a practice match and they’re going to run us ragged unless you build your stamina up. If we lose against them-”

Emma stopped herself mid-sentence and bit the inside of her cheek. She was this close to revealing the bet she had made with Seijoh’s ace but luckily, she caught herself just in time. 

“ We can’t lose, got it? Now run like Akaashi is watching you,” Emma smirked as she knelt even closer to Lily’s face,” cause he is.” 

Lily inhaled deeply as she looked over to the gym doors to see Fukurodani enter rather loudly and her eyes locked with Akaashi, who gave her a polite smile. 

Lily whipped her head back around as her ears started to get hot,“ Just know I hate you.”

“ I can live with that,” Emma shrugged as Lily got up from the gym floor and started running around the gym to finish her five laps.

queen  isabella maria  of france !  ﹙ a bed untouched and blankets on the windowseat, immaculate hair and porcelain skin,  what have i done, what have i done?  an untouched plate and an empty wine glass, books piled up on an unused bedside table, a plate of cherries, if only i had died too            a worn bible with a small length of ribbon sewn into the cover, candles burned to quick, crescent-moon shaped cuts on the inside of a soft palm, black kirtle, black shawl, everything black ﹚ 

hi all !! sorry this is so loooong, i’m big into character development so once i got started i couldn’t stop ! i’m enna, i’m 21 and from pst. my pronouns are she/her !!

 i have discord, so hmu if you want to contact me there, and if i’m online, i’m always available thru ims !!   i’ve played isabella before a few times and she’s the angry-sad love of my life so i’m thrilled to bring her here !! 

feel free to like this to plot. there are connection ideas at the bottom so please take a look and see if anything fits your muse and it might help us brainstorm something fun! 

ⅰ. —     statistics & appearance.

𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 —  isabella maria 

𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚕𝚎 —  queen of france

𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎 —  trastámara of spain

𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 —  bella, but only by her favorite lady’s maid and closest friend 

𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 —  devoted to god

𝚊𝚐𝚎 / 𝚍𝚘𝚋 —  twenty seven, born 23rd may

𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 — spanish

𝚜𝚎𝚡𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 —   bisexual ;  she’s aware of and has acted on her attraction to women in the past. although it is, naturally, a secret, she is not ashamed of her love for other women. 

𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 —  female

𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜 —  she/her

𝚑𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 —  5′4

𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚡𝚒𝚘𝚗 —  her skin is soft, warm and blemish-free, a necessity in her station. she likes to keep her skin clean of any marks and pale, like a doll. she augments the warmth and softness of her features with sharp, simple jewelry & wardrobe choices, although notably she does not display her wealth through jewelry, and instead chooses simple and elegant designs over heavy and ornate

𝚋𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍 —  she’s small and well-built, not skinny, but soft and with a certain amount of roundness to her. she has the typical feminine shape and a bit around her tummy, thighs, and arms

𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛 —  her voice is lovely and her accent is chocolatey, carefully schooled to be soft and convincing; when she’s angry, her voice becomes much louder and less delicate, slipping further into her accent

𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚜 —  she carries herself like her station, with an air of superiority: her chin is always held high and her neck long, her whole posture ramrod straight; she rarely smiles without coaxing these days, but when she does it’s usually warm and surprised, like she’s forgotten that she knows how to do that

ⅱ. —     personality. 

tw / miscarriage, depression, mentions of suicide

𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚍 —  as a young girl, isabella was a more naive and patient thing. her family ties were strong, and her loyalty to her father & later her brothers was as unwavering as the moon’s rise and fall. she was raised a perfect princess ; educated, crisp, pious and penitent, faithful to the last and hopeful for the future.

𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝 —  after having lost all of her children thus far, isabella’s disposition has hardened, and her love and loyalty has started to chip away. she still acts a quiet, faithful and penitent wife, sewing her husband’s shirts and spending an hour or two in the chapel a day. beneath it all, however, is a boiling rage, born of shame, injustice and sadness that she cannot tame.

𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚎 —  were she a more modern woman, she would hunt for sport and retire to a country house. the business of being queen sits heavily on her shoulders. suffering from depression and often times a passive narrative that her life has been wasted and will continue to be wasted, isabella is about as unhappy as any queen has a right to be. she bears it quietly and acts the part of pretty, perfect wife, although nearing closer and closer to her limit.

𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚎𝚗 —   although she was perhaps spoiled and too young when crowned, isabella has become known as a thoughtful, keen-witted and fair queen. remarkably thoughtful, every action and position she takes is well-informed and thought through; she is known for heeding evidence and admitting when she’s wrong. her favorite subjects to learn about are history and economy, and as such she’s done good things for trade and public infrastructure, making her relatively popular with the smaller towns and common people benefiting from her strategic work. she has come to love france, although she does not love governing, and consider its people hers.

𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚏𝚏 —  although a haughty and strict mistress, isabella finds herself more and more drawn to common folk. it seems the servants are the only folk that show her empathy within the french borders.  

𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚘𝚢𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚢 — depending on the person, isabella ranges from curtly polite to quietly warm ; she does not particularly enjoy french court, but she’s always polite and graceful. there can be no rest for her; although her home and a country she’s deeply proud of, france feels not unlike a claw trap closed tight around her ankle.  

𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚜 — choleric, intelligent, bold, vindictive, poised, restless, fierce

𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚙 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚒𝚘𝚗 —  she no longer believes in god. her prayer is show, her piety is act, and if she did believe, the things she’d pray for would be any manner of blasphemy, treason and regicide.

ⅲ. —     brief backstory.

— will be updated and changed with plotting and development; relationships with family and french royalty are purposefully left vague until plotted — tw / miscarriage, depression, mentions of suicide 

born the middle princess and good for little but bargaining, isabella was spoiled and coddled by her governess from a young age. education, hope and foolish naïveté let her believe the future was wide and wild, that her betrothal was a thing she could become accustomed to, that her father could do no wrong, and that her brothers were blessed by the sun itself. she was looking forward to a life atop a throne with an endless library, travelling and dancing.. and children. happiness. old age and grandeur.

married life quickly disabused her of these childish notions. though she is its queen, she often feels trapped and cornered by france, by her marriage and her duty, willing her body through hatred and shame to do its damn job and provide one squealing shouting babe so she could point to it and say see, i am worth something, i am a princess of spain and i cannot be made less than i am —   but an heir never came, and happiness never followed, and the years have made a bitter, hollow woman of one that was once bright and playful.

though miserable and often times wishing for a grave alongside her buried children, she forces herself to persevere through spite alone; she can think of many worthy things to fall to, but a failed marriage and shame are not worthy things to die over. instead she cultivates the anger over the sadness and tries as hard as she can to put herself back together in the wake of her collection of small tragedies.

her only solace is the repeated hope that one day she will be allowed a child she can keep and hold, the stories and poetry she finds among the pages and pages of the french library, and the art and music that calls france home as much as she has to. she keeps tokens of her lost children, even ones she knew for weeks alone. a small ribbon on her bible for the babe she birthed, and river stones for the ones she did not.

ⅳ. —     connection ideas.

platonic —  

closest friend, confidant ( future or current ) 

unlikely friendship ( preferably someone with an opposite personality ) 

earned trust & loyalty  ( put some of that endless loyalty and hero worship she’s capable of to good use ) 

casual friendships, gossip partners, reading circle

political allies, spanish courtiers who she’s remained friends with, a younger noble/royal she’s vaguely maternal towards

negative —  

hatred at first sight ( we all love drama ) 

enemy of france or spain, enemy of her brother or husband, 

someone who’s been cruel to her ( french people who have been cruel to her ) 

someone who dislikes her backbone, rivals

almost lover turned sour

romantic —  

formative young adult love ( can be m/f/nb, royalty or no, idc i just like angst )

forbidden temptation ( can be one-sided ) 

 previous betrothals pre-marraige ( can ofc be negative and/or platonic ) 

an ex lady’s maid she was lowkey in love with 

an ill-advised comfort hookup that she’s now avoiding

Fiction Recommendation 14

September 5th is Zhong Yuan Jie (Ghost Day) in many parts of Asia and October 31st is the Western Halloween, I thought I’d dedicated this round of fiction recommendation to some of the supernatural and mysterious unique to Chinese (and other Asian) cultures. The comment section will contain a short synopsis of the novels, along with some of my own thoughts about the story. 

1. Daomu Biji 盗墓笔记 by Kennedy Xu 

Genre: Mystery, adventure, horror, suspense

Comment: Anyone following my blog knows I am a huge fan of Daomu. Along with Ghost Blows Out Light, both works were considered the pioneering novels that opened the tomb-raiding literature market in China. Daomu is told from a first-person perspective, detailing the adventures of Wu Xie as he visited tomb after tomb to unveil the mysteries that surround him, including that of his close friends and the role he played in the whole scheme of things. This is a highly suspenseful story spanning nine published books with two published sequels - Zang Hai Hua and Sha Hai. One of the highlights of the book is the first person narrative, which allows us to relate and engage with the protagonist, while collecting clues and solving mysteries with the character. 

2. XiongZhai Biji 凶宅笔记 by  贰十三

Genre: Mystery, horror, supernatural

Comment: Xiongzhai - a term applied to haunted houses with past history(ies) of death - are usually sold at very low market price. But where there’s money, there’s business. Jiang Shuo and his friend Qin YiHeng decided to buy these houses cheaply, exorcised then, then resold it at much higher market prices. The two friends work through a series of haunted houses, until Jiang Shuo started to suspect that there’s someone purposefully drawing him to different haunted houses. Also narrated through first-person, XiongZhai Biji explores an interesting ‘market’ and who knows, you might find a haunted house one day. 

3.  海岭荒城 by 罪化/王十一

Genre: BL, supernatural, horror *R18

Comment: Considered one of the classic BL horror stories out there -All reporter Tao wanted to do was interview CEO Ling and enter a contest with said interview. Instead, he was directed to a city designed specifically for movie sets. Granted, the city was a property of the Ling company...When Tao arrived, the city seemed abandoned. There are few, if any, tourists in that area except for a group of hired performers. CEO Ling Li thought that reporter Tao would fare no better than previous reporters, but to his surprise, Tao stayed within the city for more than one night and uncovered a series of mysteries related to the occult. Although plot-wise and character-wise the story is mediocre, but it contains very vivid descriptions of horrific scenes that send chills down my back. 

4.  都市探幽录 by  罪化/王十一

Genre: Mystery, supernatural

Comment: Another series of novel by ZuiHua. Reporter Xia Han and intern Fu Wei were invited to XiangXi Province to experience a river-rafting tour. What was definitely not included in the tour are a line of zombies passing by in the dead of night, a huge snake within the waters and red water bubbling within the last stall of the girl’s toilet...thank goodness Reporter Xia and his intern are familiar to these sightings, seeing as they publish their stories in a special newspaper called the ‘Occult Weekly’. There are four books and each book is a different short story, though interlinked loosely with one another. This title is the opposite of recommendation #3, it has a stronger plot and character setting, but contains less scare factors. 

5.  哇！今夜哪裡有鬼！by 黯然銷魂蛋

Genre: BL, supernatural/horror, humor *R15

Comment: He BiXue is a paranormal reality TV show producer, who happens to also have a tendency to attract the dead unwittingly. Enters Yin Jian, who is a Taoist the studio invited to help deal with the ghosts. From a girlfriend who got severed in half, to being trapped within dreams, to an ancient princess that came back to life, it seems that this reality TV show is definitely ‘cursed’. This story has an interesting setting and is relatable especially for those who watch Taiwanese reality shows. My critique is that it feels like the author hasn't got a strong grip on the characters' personalities, which changes quite frequently throughout the book.

6.  天師執位Ⅰ by  樊落

Genre: BL, supernatural, *R15

Comment:  Nie XiFeng's first impression of Zhang Xuan is as bad as bad can be. After almost dying as a result of listening to the words of a con man posing as a taoist, he swore to never trust another taoist again. In comes Zhang Xuan, who works in his company, but also works a self-acclaimed taoist. Together they solved the mysteries around them -- albeit while fighting with each other -- and just when Nie XiFeng fell in love with Zhang Xuan, he learned that the latter might have some hidden agenda. There are several books in this series, each focusing on a different mystery that involves the supernatural. Plot-wise it can seem to drag a bit in some parts, but overall it’s not bad, plus the ending is surprising. 

7.  見鬼鮮花店 by  雲過是非 Genre: BL, supernatural, humor *R15

Comment: In this day and age, the Western and Oriental supernatural beings have developed friendly ties. Unfortunately, just as prices are increasing in the living world, the prices of items in hell are skyrocketing, especially with less and less people being superstitious these days. The supernaturals have no choice but to walk the modern route and purchase things online. Shu Jiu is a flower shop owner who repeatedly received requests from strange customers. What’s more, he learned that there are four ghosts inside his shop. Really humorous story with cute characters. It's a bit sad though that the ending was very rushed (basically the author spent over 40 chapters to develop a mystery and everything got solved in one ._.) But still, a really nice read.

8. 陰書  by 夜半來敲鍾  Genre: Horror, supernatural, BL **R18

Comment: A group of teenagers in love with all things supernatural decided to visit a haunted house to explore, unwittingly finding a shredded corpse. Ever since then, one by one the teenagers disappeared, who would be next? And how do they break the cycle? I thought that out of all the horror stories, this author’s works are definitely more bone-chilling than the others. 

9.  校園七怪談 by  夜半來敲鍾

Genre: Horror, supernatural, BL

Comment: Lin Feng recently transferred to a new school.  Ever since he transferred, strange happenings abound. The soft sigh in the middle of the night, the footsteps outside the room door, his roommate's haunted looks...When will things end? This story builds on the popular concept of ‘seven strange happenings’ in Asian schools - the strange happenings often refer to unexplained phenomenons that are experienced by multiple students. 

10.  小镇 by dnax

Genre: BL, adventure, suspense

Comment:  Fu En accidentally entered a town in which no one leaves. Here, townsfolk are happy and everyone had their own supernatural powers...except there's a price to using the powers and people aren't as content as they seem. He quickly discovers the loopholes in the 'rules' of the town, along with the twisted mindset of some of the inhabitants. A really bizarre story, but highly suspenseful and really image-evoking.

11.  解忧杂货店 by  东野圭吾

Genre: Supernatural, comfort

Comment:  All the worries and troubles, let this shop help you resolve them. There is a small shop by a corner of the roadside, as long as you write down your worries and place it within its letterbox, you will get an answer in the milkbox located behind the store on the second day. A series of worries, with prophetic-like answers. Very heart-warming and touching.

12.  我準是在地獄 by  YY的劣迹

Genre: Mystery, **R (rated for murder and violence)

Comment: Ning Xiao is just like any other murder mystery author. One night he was mugged but when he found the police at his door next day accusing him for the murder of the mugger, things took a twist. Consecutive murders that follow the plot of his stories, repressed memories and a police with a suspicious background, just who is behind all of these murders? A rabid fan? Ning Xiao’s split personality? Or perhaps the ‘police’...? Even though the story was marked as BL by others, I really think that there's no romantic relationship between the two protagonists - most of the story is focused on the murder mystery plotline. 

13.  谋杀官员1：逻辑王子的演绎 by  紫金陈

Genre: Mystery

Comment: Graduated from Ze Da University's math department, Xu Ce is also known as the prince of logic. Later he won a scholarship to support a PhD study in psychology. However, upon hearing his mother's death, he returned to China. On the other hand, his friend - Gao Dong - also known for his specialty in crimonology, encountered numerous murder cases of government officers. Could Gao Dong resolved these cases? And what does it have to do with Xu Ce? 

14.  推理之王·坏小孩 by  紫金陈

Genre: Mystery

Comment: Four years into their marriage, Xujing had an affair and wanted a divorce. Her husband, Zhang DongShen realized that he would be left with nothing should the divorce occur, and there is only one way out. On the pretense of taking her parents out for a trip, he plotted a murder. Everything should have been perfect. Except that three children became witnesses to the murder, and they are anything but innocent.

15.  推理之王·无证之罪 by  紫金陈

Genre: Mystery

Comment: What if someone claims that he conducted murders to save another person, would you believe their intention? Behind the crimes lie a heart filled with anger and love. A high-class murderer versus a math teacher, both of which are equally skilled, who would win in this chase?

16. 都市夜歸人 by 朱砂

Genre; Mystery, supernatural, BL **R18

Comment: As a sniper, Chen Gu knew his eyesight is superb, just not to the extent that he can see the supernaturals...But how is it that he hadn't notice this strange phenomenon before? Of course, without a certain Mr. Zhong's mentioning, he wouldn't have noticed the strange things around him either. Case after case of supernatural phenomenon appeared, and it is up to the duo to resolve them. However things are more complicated than they expected, - there's still an avenging ghost-human out there trying to revive his dead wife by breaking all the Taoist rules that one can phantom. The author has quite an extensive knowledge of different mythologies and legends. I recommend reading the actual text first before reading the prequel (the prequel was rather dark and slow-paced. Honestly I couldn’t finished it).

Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ  Ⅴ  Epilogue

Pairing: Jungkook x reader x Jimin Genre: angst Word count: 2.2k ✘ Warnings: Brief mentions of suggestive themes (not smut!), infidelity

Summary: Your ex comes back in means for reconciliation, but old scars never fade. Especially, when someone ends up re-opening the wounds, once again.

“In the flesh,” He whispers, eyes gleaming. A beatific smile plastered across his face, while he continues to watch you struggle at keeping the door open, “I’m back, Y/N.”

You heart pounds loudly against your ears and you feel your throat burning with nausea, why was he back? Why now? 

“Jimin,” You utter softly, “You shouldn’t be here…” He looked no different from the day he had departed, leaving the house as he howled out in frustration, heart heavy with burdened fault. The night when you had drunk yourself to sleep as you suffered by the throbbing of your massive heartbreak.

Warmth envelops you and hiccups escape you as the tears sprung free. Jimin was hugging you. With his lips pressed against your ear, he whispers, “Let me in.” Don’t allow him to walk past that door.

Following you inside after you closed the door, he admires the fact that the house was the same as it had been when he left it. You wanted him back because you too, missed him. Jimin and you walk into the bedroom and without a moment’s notice, you both fall onto the bed. The lonely nights you laid in those sheets, missing what you both used to be.

“I missed you so, so much Y/N…thank god you’re still here,” he mumbles, husky breaths following after. He leans his forehead to yours and you exhale softly as he tightens his grip around your hips, pressing his lips lush against your own.

“I missed you too,” You whimper, running your hands through his dyed, blonde hair as he kissed your collarbones gently. His body pressed against yours, sinking the two of you deeper into the mattress. You sigh as he loosens his tie, his fingers patiently undoing each stud from his white button-down shirt and he brings you closer. The sharp crinkles of plastic wrinkle in the darkness and he touched you intimately as he did before, once again.

Your eyes open and you meet the ceiling. How could you let this happen? A feeling of warmth is tied to your bare mid-section and you sigh, torn between ripping out of his embrace or to submerge into it until you drowned.

Carefully, you remove his hands and step out of the bed to rinse, by-stepping past the clothes piled at the edges on the floor. Jimin was here, he was back. Twisting the knob off, you dry yourself off and change into a blue t-shirt and some red shorts before heading into the kitchen. You reach and turn on your phone, your lips go dry:

10 AM

???: Hey Y/N, want to go out again? I found this Grill place and guess what!??

???: They have a salad bar just for you! It’s perfect!

???: Let’s go tonight? I can pick you up at your place, just tell me your address

Suddenly, a pair of arms are wrapped around your waist and a grunt sounds behind you and then ─

“Sleep okay, beautiful?”

Your face distorts into pain, you never thought you would hear that smooth, light and caring tone ever again; after he had left you scarred on such a harsh and angry note, you almost forgot about it.

Nodding, you try to pull away, but he holds onto you tighter. He starts kissing along the nape of your neck, but you shove him back harder.

“That’s enough, Jimin. You’ve already left me,” Your voice unsteady as you struggle to hold in your threatening sobs, “You shouldn’t be back here…”

He frowns and grips your shoulders to turn you, facing him as your back lightly hit the edge of the counter. His eyes dark and solemn with melancholy, “I’m here, because I missed you Y/N!” Jimin tries to bring you into another hug, but you shake your head and push against his now-clothed, built chest. Missed you, not because he loved you, he simply missed this – the feeling.

“If you loved me, why did you leave me in the first place?” His face freezes once your teary eyes gaze up to him, desiring an answer.

“Y-Y/N…you know, why I left you…” Jimin struggles to whisper, shame ingrained on his face.

You didn’t want to hear him say it now, even though that had been all you wanted to hear when you realized he wasn’t coming back the next morning or the day after that — you didn’t need to hear it anymore. The way his hands trailed down her thighs, interwinding at the small of her back in means to hold her tighter, and how his face clashed against her own greedy lips hidden behind a curtain of hair. How he gently held her to the wall and that was the reason behind why you ran, ran away from your fiancé who was loving another woman.

You covered your ears — turned away from him before he admits that he loved her and not you, in front of your face.

“Jimin, I want you to leave, now.” Your eyes fixed to the wall, blinking away your despair. You didn’t wish to look at his sad eyes anymore, avoiding his pained face.

“Y-”

“ – Get out!” You shout and slowly, he treads and goes out the door, this time — by your command. With tear-drops running freely down your wet cheeks, you respond to Jungkook:

Y/N: Sounds good ;) See you tonight

“Are you serious?! Have you finally come to a realization Y/N?” Your eyebrows furrow, keeping your phone at a safe distance from you ear. You called your best friend, admitting to her that you and Jungkook were hitting off well and that you were going on another date tonight.

“Wow, I’m so proud of you!!! Do you have another outfit?” She asks and you mutter a small ‘yes’ as you twirl around lightly before your mirror. It was a simple black skirt with a collared light blue blouse buttoned and tucked in.

You both talk for awhile as you get ready, combing your hair and deciding to stick a small bow in. Jungkook had texted that the restaurant wasn’t as sophisticated as the first one, so you were both able to dress a bit more casual this date, to which you preferred. 

A call comes rushing in and you rapidly tell your friend, “Ah, he’s calling!”

She giggles on the other side of the line and you both exchanged short byes before you answer Jungkook. Staring at your reflection, ensuring that all of your tears have dried away, you ask a small, “Hello?”

“Took you long enough,” he teases on the other line and you roll your eyes, “I’m here.” As if he was waiting that long.

You slip on a pair of cute sneakers, distractedly grab the black handbag dazzling with all sorts of jewels, and hurry out of the door to seek his car. Smiling, you jog to a black sleek vehicle as Jungkook waves over to you from the opened window. He snickers behind one of his hands at the finishing touch of the very dark purse that contrasted negatively compared to your bright outfit.

“So, anything new?” Jungkook asks, shoveling another mouthful of steak into his mouth, his eyes hovering up to yours.

He was dressed in a long black t-shirt that topped over his skinny jeans. The man had a relaxed, but cool sense of fashion with the extra touch of a pair of Timberland boots.

“Well,” You scoff out, pushing your bangs back, realizing how ridiculous all the following events prior had been, “My ex came back last night…”

His eyes widen and he swallows, “What?! Did something happen?” 

“Ah, he just…missed me. But, he broke my heart again today, so I needed to come out for a bit…” You look up considerably to him, his eyes tender and kind as he places his utensils down to reach across the table for your hands that held your own tools, barely digging into the greens.

“It seems that all he does is hurt you, Y/N,” he narrows his eyes, focused in concentration before he announces his resolution, “I’ll make sure that this is the best night of your life!” Determinedly, he practically breathes up the chunks of meat and you laugh along the way, finishing what remained of the salad.

After you two finished, Jungkook, with his hand in yours, you both walked out of the restaurant to seek the hotel residing next door and rented a room.

“Ughh, I’m so full,” You whine when you crash on the bed, patting your stomach and claiming a pillow.

Jungkook quietly sits beside you, watching you with deep darkened eyes, “Y/N…You deserve better,“ He murmurs and caresses your knuckles with his fingers.

Your eyes observe how slow his eyelashes flutter, then you notice the scar marked into his cheekbone, “What happened here?” Your fingers reach out to brush over it and he takes your hand into his palm.

“A fight with my older brother, over who would play computer games when we were younger with only one lousy computer to share,” He’s chuckling at the memory and kisses your hand. Sleepily, you continue to look at him as he does to you and as if by magic, his face brushes close and your lips are sealed together.

Dragging a hand down to your thigh, he smiles at you, “Is this okay?”

You nod and darkness overcomes you with bliss from his touches.

“Gosh, I’m so full!” He complains and you smirk, “Then you shouldn’t have eaten all those crepes!” You two walk out of a creperie and charge towards the Yogurt Land just down the street.

You and Jungkook had been dating for 3 weeks now, consisting of constant cheer and food shared with love and passion. You couldn’t be more content with everything he was to you and for you, having long paused Jimin at the back of your mind.

It was until one morning, a Saturday morning, that you were feeling frequent stomachaches and having to run to the bathroom constantly to deposit everything you’d eaten. You also noticed that there were no mark this month on your calendar and though it had occurred to you, you wished it would not be the case, it tempted you enough to buy a pack of tests and you hurried home.

The pounding in your head stopped as you froze, goosebumps plotting along your skin as a violent shiver went up your spine at the plus sign indicated on the meter. You were pregnant. Sweat is falling from the sides of your head as you become conflicted, lost and worried in the depth of your thoughts because there were two possibilities. Two possibilities and one of them would claim fatherhood of your child, Jungkook…or Jimin.

“J-Jungkook!” You holler when he arrives in your house, coming towards you immediately. He wraps his arms around your shoulders and holds them still from your rapid shivering in an attempt to calm you down.

“What’s wrong Y/N??” He’s looking you up and down before bringing you back into his tight clasp.

You whisper quietly, as if telling a rather large secret, into his ear, “Jungkook…I’m pregnant.”

A shudder runs through him and he pulls away, staring at you, horrified and hurt as he steps back slowly to look at you cautiously, “A-are you sure Y/N? Positive?” 

You nod slowly, eyes watering as you hold up the meter, the plus sign hauntingly engraved into his head. Jungkook tightens his hands together to keep them from trembling and nods, forcing on a grim smile as his mind runs busy with thoughts; with responsibilities and consequences. 

Then, he asks you, “Hey, Y/N…do you mind if I tell you, a secret too?” 

You blink a few times, your head inclining to short nods, completely unprepared for ─

“I…I have a wife.”

A sharp gasp echoes against the house walls and you realize it was your own as rage instantly erupted within you, fighting back the leaking tears singeing at the corners of your eyes as your face tightens, snapping out, “Jungkook, how could you do this her…?”

The sympathy and pity you felt towards and for her made you ache, because Jimin did the exact same thing to you and your wounds began to bleed, yet again. Not again. Your eyes peer down to your stomach, instinctively cupping it with both of your cold hands as you feel the disgust twisting within you, “What am I supposed to do now…?” You didn’t have the guts to mention you both in this scenario, for it was more complicated for one than the other.

Jungkook shakes his head, veined hands gripping through his hair desperately and he peers over to you, “I… we, can never tell her. You need to pretend.”

“Pretend…?” You continue to glare at him under teary eyes. 

He nods, face hard as he carefully arranges a plan and licks his dry lips, “You slept with him a few weeks prior as well, yes?” Your eyes widen and he says exactly what you have in mind, “It needs to be your ex’s, Y/N. Can you do that-”

You are washed over in disbelief at his joke of a solution, that this could actually be pulled off, as if it would all be that simple and end up okay. You shut your eyes, chest stinging against the agony of betrayal and distraught by his ignorance, “Jungkook, please...leave my house.”

queen  isabella maria  of france ! ﹙ a bed untouched and blankets on the windowseat, immaculate hair and porcelain skin,  what have i done, what have i done?  an untouched plate and an empty wine glass, books piled up on an unused bedside table, a plate of cherries, if only i had died too           a worn bible with a small length of ribbon sewn into the cover, candles burned to quick, crescent-moon shaped cuts on the inside of a soft palm, black kirtle, black shawl, everything black ﹚

hi all !! sorry this is so loooong, i’m big into character development so once i got started i couldn’t stop ! i’m enna, i’m 21 and from pst. my pronouns are she/her !! i was part of this group during the og version and i’m excited to go for this again !!

i have discord, so hmu if you want to contact me there, and if i’m online, i’m always available thru ims !!  

feel free to like this to plot. there are connection ideas at the bottom so please take a look and see if anything fits your muse and it might help us brainstorm something fun!

ⅰ. —     statistics & appearance.

𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 — isabella maria

𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚕𝚎 — queen of france

𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎 — trastámara of spain

𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 —  bella, but only by her favorite lady’s maid and closest friend

𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 —  devoted to god

𝚊𝚐𝚎 / 𝚍𝚘𝚋 —  twenty seven, born 23rd may

𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 — spanish

𝚜𝚎𝚡𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 —   bisexual ;  she’s aware of and has acted on her attraction to women in the past. although it is, naturally, a secret, she is not ashamed of her love for other women.

𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 —  female

𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜 —  she/her

𝚑𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 —  5′4

𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚡𝚒𝚘𝚗 —  her skin is soft, warm and blemish-free, a necessity in her station. she likes to keep her skin clean of any marks and pale, like a doll. she augments the warmth and softness of her features with sharp, simple jewelry & wardrobe choices, although notably she does not display her wealth through jewelry, and instead chooses simple and elegant designs over heavy and ornate

𝚋𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍 —  she’s small and well-built, not skinny, but soft and with a certain amount of roundness to her. she has the typical feminine shape and a bit around her tummy, thighs, and arms

𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛 — her voice is lovely and her accent is chocolatey, carefully schooled to be soft and convincing; when she’s angry, her voice becomes much louder and less delicate, slipping further into her accent

𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚜 — she carries herself like her station, with an air of superiority: her chin is always held high and her neck long, her whole posture ramrod straight; she rarely smiles without coaxing these days, but when she does it’s usually warm and surprised, like she’s forgotten that she knows how to do that

ⅱ. —     personality.

tw / miscarriage, depression, mentions of suicide

𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚍 — as a young girl, isabella was a more naive and patient thing. her family ties were strong, and her loyalty to her father & later her brothers was as unwavering as the moon’s rise and fall. she was raised a perfect princess ; educated, crisp, pious and penitent, faithful to the last and hopeful for the future.

𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝 — after having lost all of her children thus far, isabella’s disposition has hardened, and her love and loyalty has started to chip away. she still acts a quiet, faithful and penitent wife, sewing her husband’s shirts and spending an hour or two in the chapel a day. beneath it all, however, is a boiling rage, born of shame, injustice and sadness that she cannot tame.

𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚎 —  were she a more modern woman, she would hunt for sport and retire to a country house. the business of being queen sits heavily on her shoulders. suffering from depression and often times a passive narrative that her life has been wasted and will continue to be wasted, isabella is about as unhappy as any queen has a right to be. she bears it quietly and acts the part of pretty, perfect wife, although nearing closer and closer to her limit.

𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚎𝚗 —  although she was perhaps spoiled and too young when crowned, isabella has become known as a thoughtful, keen-witted and fair queen. remarkably thoughtful, every action and position she takes is well-informed and thought through; she is known for heeding evidence and admitting when she’s wrong. her favorite subjects to learn about are history and economy, and as such she’s done good things for trade and public infrastructure, making her relatively popular with the smaller towns and common people benefiting from her strategic work. she has come to love france, although she does not love governing, and consider its people hers.

𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚏𝚏 — although a haughty and strict mistress, isabella finds herself more and more drawn to common folk. it seems the servants are the only folk that show her empathy within the french borders.  

𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚘𝚢𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚢 — depending on the person, isabella ranges from curtly polite to quietly warm ; she does not particularly enjoy french court, but she’s always polite and graceful. there can be no rest for her; although her home and a country she’s deeply proud of, france feels not unlike a claw trap closed tight around her ankle.  

𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚜 — choleric, intelligent, bold, vindictive, poised, restless, fierce

𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚙 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚒𝚘𝚗 — she no longer believes in god. her prayer is show, her piety is act, and if she did believe, the things she’d pray for would be any manner of blasphemy, treason and regicide.

ⅲ. —     brief backstory.

— will be updated and changed with plotting and development; relationships with family and french royalty are purposefully left vague until plotted — tw / miscarriage, depression, mentions of suicide

born the middle princess and good for little but bargaining, isabella was spoiled and coddled by her governess from a young age. education, hope and foolish naïveté let her believe the future was wide and wild, that her betrothal was a thing she could become accustomed to, that her father could do no wrong, and that her brothers were blessed by the sun itself. she was looking forward to a life atop a throne with an endless library, travelling and dancing.. and children. happiness. old age and grandeur.

married life quickly disabused her of these childish notions. though she is its queen, she often feels trapped and cornered by france, by her marriage and her duty, willing her body through hatred and shame to do its damn job and provide one squealing shouting babe so she could point to it and say see, i am worth something, i am a princess of spain and i cannot be made less than i am —  but an heir never came, and happiness never followed, and the years have made a bitter, hollow woman of one that was once bright and playful.

though miserable and often times wishing for a grave alongside her buried children, she forces herself to persevere through spite alone; she can think of many worthy things to fall to, but a failed marriage and shame are not worthy things to die over. instead she cultivates the anger over the sadness and tries as hard as she can to put herself back together in the wake of her collection of small tragedies.

her only solace is the repeated hope that one day she will be allowed a child she can keep and hold, the stories and poetry she finds among the pages and pages of the french library, and the art and music that calls france home as much as she has to. she keeps tokens of her lost children, even ones she knew for weeks alone. a small ribbon on her bible for the babe she birthed, and river stones for the ones she did not.

ⅳ. —     connection ideas.

platonic —  

closest friend, confidant ( future or current )

unlikely friendship ( preferably someone with an opposite personality )

earned trust & loyalty ( put some of that endless loyalty and hero worship she’s capable of to good use )

casual friendships, gossip partners, reading circle

political allies, spanish courtiers who she’s remained friends with, a younger noble/royal she’s vaguely maternal towards

negative —  

hatred at first sight ( we all love drama )

enemy of france or spain, enemy of her brother or husband,

someone who’s been cruel to her ( french people who have been cruel to her )

someone who dislikes her backbone, rivals

almost lover turned sour

romantic —  

formative young adult love ( can be m/f/nb, royalty or no, idc i just like angst )

forbidden temptation ( can be one-sided )

previous betrothals pre-marraige ( can ofc be negative and/or platonic )

an ex lady’s maid she was lowkey in love with

an ill-advised comfort hookup that she’s now avoiding
