#( And I have at lastly put music on that question yay! )

[azurexalacrity]

Who Are You?

NAME: Zaynah (Called “Zay” for short)

STAR SIGN: Cancer

HEIGHT: 5′6″

WHAT’S YOUR MIDDLE NAME? I’m not telling, but I’ll let you on a little secret: It’s space-related (no, I’m serious). You decide what it is.

PUT YOUR SPOTIFY MEDIA PLAYER ON SHUFFLE. WHAT ARE THE FIRST 6 SONGS THAT POPPED UP?

( Let it be warned that not all of these songs contain lyrics and most of them are from video game media. Enjoy though! )

1. Open Your Heart - Crush 40 2. Final Boss Part 1 - Sonic Colors Soundtrack 3. Veldin Orbit (Drek’s Fleet) - Ratchet & Clank Soundtrack 4. So Say We all - Audiomachine 5. Clock-La; Final Boss - Sly Cooper 2 Soundtrack 6. Scorponok - Transformers: The Score

EVER HAD A POEM OR SONG WRITTEN ABOUT YOU? I never had someone written a poem or song about me LMAO. Although, I have written poems before, but I only wrote them because I was told to in school (I don’t like writing them lol).

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED AIR GUITAR? I’m pretty sure it was during one of my teenage phases. That phase is where I first got introduced to rock n’ roll and boy I tried to be a rockstar as much as possible (it didn’t work out though XD).

WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH? Never had one (I never had a crush in general but you get the idea lol)! But if you were to ask me if I have a favorite celebrity in mind, it would be Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, or Gal Gadot.

WHAT’S A SOUND YOU HATE; SOUND YOU LOVE? Screaming. Yelling. Anything that’s really loud, abrupt, and deafening enough to give you an anxiety attack. Those are the sounds I hate. As for love, it’s the white noise of a fan! Not only does the fan keep me cool but it helps lull me to sleep! ^-^

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? I strongly believe in the afterlife, so that’s a yes! Although, the thought of stumbling inside of a haunted house does give chills down my spine.

HOW ABOUT ALIENS? Yup! I have a hard time believing that we are the only intelligent lifeforms in the galaxy and let alone the universe. I’m not saying that it has to be some big discovery or anything but... I think it’s very possible!

DO YOU DRIVE? I... kind of want to? But at the same time, I’m scared to crash? Sooo no. I don’t drive lol.

IF SO, HAVE YOU EVER CRASHED? Nnnope (and my goodness I wouldn’t want that to happen asdf).

WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ? I read tons of fanfiction almost daily, so I can’t really say books. But if you mean a hard, actual book, it was War of The Worlds by H.G. Wells.

DO YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE? Nope!

WHAT WAS THE LAST MOVIE YOU SAW? Spider-Verse! But Endgame is next on my list of movies to see (it’s so close hnnngh)! :D

WHAT’S THE WORST INJURY YOU’VE EVER HAD? Oookay so I’ll let this brief: I slept really poorly on my mattress in the duration of getting a new bed. My neck was oddly twisted to my right side and it hurt in an excruciating manner. It lasted for about two full weeks after a visit to the hospital and I had to wear a neck brace during that time. It did end on a good note, though: I got Halloween candy!

DO YOU HAVE ANY OBSESSIONS RIGHT NOW? My interests go so sporadic at times that I can’t even really obsess on one topic before jumping to another XD. But I have been getting more in touch with the Tak & The Power of Juju video game series (if anyone remembers that, then yay! I’m not alone!).

DO YOU TEND TO HOLD GRUDGES AGAINST PEOPLE WHO DID YOU WRONG? I’m a very forgiving person, so I don’t really hold grudges against other people. Normally, I try to talk civilly with the person and let them acknowledge that what they did hurt me. However, there are times where I can be hurt emotionally so bad that I can’t forgive the person (or be so anxious enough that I freeze the moment I see them). I especially cannot forgive a person for hurting not just me but those close to me.

But really, I’m generally a person that wants to move on from stuff like that, even if that horrific event traumatized me. I like to see the bright side of things, so I try my best to move on and go on with my life even I’m scarred by that event.

IN A RELATIONSHIP? Nope! I am aro, I am a single pringle, and I am proud of it (oh crud... now I want pringles oof).

StevexEddiexDustin (platonic) & NancyxMax (platonic)

Summary: Steve, Eddie and Nancy are babysitting Max and Dustin while they're regressed and Eddie starts to slip.

A knock echos through Eddies trailer signalling that Nancy, Max and Dustin have arrived. Eddies place has become a bit of a safe haven for the littles in the group with Eddie being one himself and having privacy in the evening.

"Hey guys come on in" Eddie greets with a smile

First Max shuffles in, She's wearing a pair of denim overall shorts with a purple three quarter sleeve shirt underneath and a pair of white knee high socks with blue hi tops and a yellow backpack.

Next Dustin enters wearing a pair of knee length loose shorts with a shirt that has an image of two dinosaurs with their necks in the shape of a heart as well as his usual white sneakers.

Lastly Nancy enters wearing a maxi skirt and a tee shirt with the name of some collage on it, She's carrying a light blue diaper bag.

"Hey I hope we're not too late"

"No you guys are right on time" Steve says as he enters with a platter of snacks that he promptly sets on the coffee table.

Max and Dustin scurry over to see what snacks Steve made and are disappointed when they see vegetables and crackers instead of cookie and snack cakes.

"Don't worry you guys I'll get you the good stuff later" Eddie stage whispers to the two littles.

"You will do no such thing Eddie, If they eat all that sugar it will be impossible to get them to bed" Nancy scolds Eddie, Steve nodding in agreement.

"But mama vegetables are gross" Max says looking to nancy with puppy dog eyes.

Nancy sighs "fine you can have one snack cake each, Not one package one cake"

----------time skip------------------

Max and Dustin sit on the floor playing with toys with the mixtape Eddie made for regressing on in the background.

Steve is playing with Eddies hair while the older is laying on him and Nancy is sitting on the opposite end of the couch reading a book.

Eddie is finding it difficult to stay big with Steve gently rubbing his scalp and the soft music playing.

Steve starts getting up to get some water and Eddie whines and pushes further into him.

Steve shushes him and gets their water, He puts Eddies in a no-spill cup, When Steve returns to the living room he's met with a grumpy expression on Eddies face.

"'m not little" He says referring to the cup.

"It's the only clean cup" Steve lies and Eddie doesn't question it.

Eddie seems to be slipping further by the moment and Steve notices.

"Hey Eds? Why don't we get you changed into something more comfortable yeah?" Eddie doesn't fight it this time and lets himself be led into his bedroom so Steve can help him change clothes.

Setev changes him into a pair of shorts like Dustins and a band shirt soft from washing.

Steve grabs Eddies teether and a few toys from the bin he keeps them in and leads him back out to the living room.

"Yay Eds pway with us!" Max says and Dustin cheers.

Thanks for reading!

i rlly like the idea that Steve is Dustins cg so maybe ill do more of it idk

in the night.

blame john wick for this.  i may or may not do accompanying pieces but it was very fun to write, in any case.  yay, assassin!kook!

pairing.  jjk x reader.  rating.  ... general-ish?  tags.  this doesn’t fit in the usual three categories but leans more fluffy than anything.  includes mentions of blood, vague descriptions of suturing, and kook being a little sassy shit.  wc.  1.1k.  beta reader.  @hobi-gif​ 💜

You’ve taken care of him more times than you can count, sewn shut more holes than any normal person ought to have.  You’ve salted his wounds and stitched his skin, provided pills and patchwork.  You’ve seen him at his very worst, beaten and broken, barely coherent against your doorframe as if there was no other way he might remain standing. You’d even saved him once, sheltered him when you shouldn’t have, and put a bullet through the man chasing him. 

He owes you his life at least five times over.  He knows that.

It doesn’t stop him from knocking loudly, with knuckles stained ruby and the same colour seeping through the white of his Oxford.  It takes longer than it normally does - a beat of one, two, three - before the small three-by-two window slides open.

He’ll never get over how beautiful you are, even caged behind bars and with a look of complete distrust in your eyes.  They soften at the sight of him.

“Again?”  It’s lyrical - music to his ears.  

“Again,”  Jungkook confirms around a mouthful of blood.

You heave a sigh - a low, drawn out sound he recognises for its endeared amusement - and he hears the different mechanisms click out of place.  First, the deadbolt, followed by two barrel bolts, and lastly, the chain lock.  

The door swings open, just a hairsbreadth, enough for him to glimpse a sliver of your face, your neatly knotted dark hair that sits in a low bun against your neck.  You’re swathed in a lightly rumpled shirt - too large in the shoulders, undone indecently down four buttons.  He wonders, for a moment, whether he’d woken you up.  It would make sense, given the god forsaken hour.

“What’s the magic word?”  

He scoffs then, the motion agitating the wound further against his clothes.  Even as he tries to hide it, bite the sharp sting back with an equal bite of his own - teeth over tongue - he knows you see it.  You see everything.  “I’ve got no apples for you, Doc.”  

You relent before the words have fully formed, stepping back to allow him passage into the only place he might call safe.  “Come in anyway, I guess.”  

Shirt and coat are stripped the moment he crosses the threshold, discarded in a heap on the far table that houses too many loose sheets, all covered in chicken scratch that carries no meaning to his untrained eye.  He feels a little bad when a grisly streak of colour lends itself to a formerly pristine piece of paper.  

He settles into the familiar chair - head back, knuckles white over the edge of the armrests - and exhales a deep sigh, breath whistling past his teeth. 

“What happened this time?”  You’re asking even though you shouldn’t, even though it’s best that you don’t know.  You knowing only puts the same mark on your forehead - a bull’s eye right between the eyes - but you’ve always known that and you’ve never seemed to care, presenting questions as easily as you breathe.

He swallows a hoarse whine when liquid splashes across the damaged skin, sodium chloride bringing forth a different kind of sting.  Rivulets run the length of his abdomen, pooling in the dips and divots before soaking into the black waistband of his briefs.  

“Mistake.  Stupid mistake.”

“You’ve gotta stop making those,”  you hum with a little laugh and a glint in your eye.  It distracts from the first thread of the needle through his weeping flesh.  “Nicked the artery.  You’re lucky you got here.”

“Isn’t that what you say every time?”  It isn’t easy to smile through the pain but he manages, offering a goofy grin that edges on disturbing by the Joker-esque red that paints his cheeks and jaw.  He thinks you’d hit him, if not for the fact your hands are far too occupied.

“Which part?”

“Not making mistakes,”  he returns, watching with morbid fascination as you stitch him back together, thread looping over and into his skin with each pin prick.  

“I mean - you make me say it every time.”

“Maybe I just like hearing it.”

“Then you’re a masochist, Jeon.”  The last knot is secured into place and you nod, small and nearly imperceptible.  “You’re all done.  Let me bandage it up and I’ll give you some meds for the pain.  Try not to make any more mistakes that might open it up again.”

Sterilized bandage is applied, pressed into place with firm, unyielding hands.  Everything spins at the contact - a shade rouger than he’d expected - an explosion of white against his eyelids before it’s gone.  One inhale, then another, head lolling against the worn leather headrest.  “I swear you fuck with me every time.”

You swing a smile in his direction, coquettish over your shoulder.  “How else would you learn your lesson?”

He supposes you’re right. 

“Take this.”  Something flies in his direction and by the grace of god, Jungkook manages to catch it with the hand attached to the arm attached to the shoulder that isn’t crying out in blinding pain.  “Three now, then two every six hours until you feel like you can go without them.”

“Thanks, Doc.”  Said three go down the hatch dry, swallowed thickly before he tucks the bottle of little white pills into the front pocket of his pants.  “I owe you one.”

“You owe me more than one.”

“Okay, okay - we’re not keeping track.”  Well, he’s not, at least.  He thinks you must be, by the way you’re levelling him with that stare, heavy-lidded and half-hidden behind the glare of your glasses.  You’re watching his every move, studying him as he pulls his stained shirt back on and makes for the door, tuxedo jacket laid over his shoulder.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?”

He blinks owlishly, expression betraying nothing as he rounds on you.  You’re close, hardly any space held between the two of you.  He can see your eyes now, how they twinkle up at him and steal his breath more than any injury could. 

“Ah, right.”  The distance closes then, bloodied fingers seizing the collar of the shirt you wear so well.  His shirt, he’s come to realise once he notes the embroidered initials along the cuffs.  “How could I forget?”

The kiss comes as if it’s his last, lingering and longing swept into every pass of his lips, each delicate swipe of his tongue.  He swallows every sound you make, holding them somewhere deep in his chest like a treasure.  It’s nothing like you’d expect from a man like him, brooding and blunt in all other aspects.

“Don’t come back,”  you tease, breathless.

“I will,”  he returns, beaming.  And then he’s gone, with only the blood on your front to remember him by.

[run-down-that-dream]

yay, i'm excited too! it looks like we have some similar musical interests, and you also like some things i'd like to listen to more, so i'll be asking you LOTS of questions :p to start out, what are your top ten bands and artists? i can definitely guess a few of them but i'm curious about what your list would be :) 💚❤️💚❤️ -Santa

I'm so glad we share the same taste!! Bring on the questions lol!! It took a minute (ok much longer than a minute) but I think I decided on my current list:

1. Tom Petty (I'm sure you guessed this but of course I'll put the obvious as #1 😂) and that goes for literally all his stuff - heartbreakers, solo, mudcrutch, collaborations with other artists - I'll listen to it all this man takes up waaay too much of my time if I'm being honest haha

2. George Harrison - I'm actually in the process of going back and listening to all his albums so he's taking up a ton of my time right now too 😂

3. The Beatles - my 3rd top artist of the year according to spotify, I'd say that makes a lot of sense. peace, love, and yellow submarines ☮

4. Bob Dylan - another of my top artists I fully agree with. Great storytelling!

5. The Traveling Wilburys (are we seeing a trend 👀😂) they're probably my #1 comfort band - it's a group full of my favorite guys, what could be better than that

6. Stevie Nicks - I blame her for keeping me interested in classic rock for so long. if you were to ask my top ten like 5 years ago you'd get a completely different list but she's stayed consistent (plus I blame her for getting me into tom petty so there's that too lol) - and she's probably part of the reason I'm so witchy (feel free to ask about that too if you're interested in that stuff at all 👀 I could ramble about my crystals and things forever)

7. Jeff Lynne (solo and with elo) I feel like I should put him higher on the list because his stuff is SO GOOD but I don't listen to it as much as I'd like to (I really like the way he produces for some reason too - it's like everything he touches has an extra bit of happiness sprinkled in)

8. Myles Kennedy - this man's VOICE is unbelievable. I fell in love with his music and his band Alter Bridge about 5 years ago while I was in a much "harder" phase of rock. I stopped listening for a while because my tastes have changed so much but he's put out two solo albums since then. Those albums are definitely more my speed right now. I've fallen absolutely in love with his music again

9. Fleetwood Mac (while they had Stevie and Lindsey specifically) I've been listening to the album Tusk pretty consistently for YEARS

10. now lastly I have a really bad habit of looping songs. with that said, I'm gonna tie the Rolling Stones and Queen as #10 in my list - not because I've heard a lot of their songs but because I've heard a few of their songs A LOT of times 😂

Do you mind if I ask which things you'd like to listen to more 👀 I could totally give you some song recs or something if you're interested!! Also which bands/artists do you like? I'd love to know which ones we have in common, and there might even be something we have in common that I didn't think to list!!

word count // 2.9k

author's note // this is my debut story on tumblr so it might not be up to standard but nonetheless i hope you all like it <3 this if for @noya-sannnn whom i love so much. p. s. listen to calming guitar melodies while reading this!

The night was cold but the fireplace was warm enough for the both of you. You and Yeosang sat in front of the crackling fire, playing around with the toys you bought together that cold afternoon.

“I’ll save you princess!”

“Oh yay! Captain Bright is-”

Yeosang groaned and rolled his eyes at you, putting down his toy hero. “It’s Captain Light, Y/N. How many times have I told you?”

“It’s the same thing, like potato potato,” You crossed your arms and placed it against your chest, huffing out. “Whatever..”

It was the first night of December. Yeosang’s mother and yours were in the kitchen preparing the presents. You could hear them struggling with some of the gift wrap and almost took the chance to see what your presents were but then a little speck of white caught your eye from outside the window.

The six-year-old you together with the superhero, ran to the window as the first snow of the season fell. Your dark spheres became stars, looking in awe at the pretty snowflakes. In the distance, you could see the spectacular castle as snow covered its tall towers. You frowned, turning away from the sight. Yeosang noticed your moody attitude and proceeded with a sigh.

“Hey, Y/N..” He stood in front of you and tilted his head to the side. “What’s wrong?”

“I want to know how it feels like to be an actual princess,” You prance around the living room, as if you were in one of those barbie movies. “To wear dresses, to have a big ballroom, and to meet cool princes,” You stopped and sighed. You proceeded to sit on one of the velvet sofas, dangling your feet.

Yeosang shook his head and sat beside you. “You don’t need those things to live, though,” he says, swinging his legs back and forth. “You have me and your parents, aren’t you happy with us-”

You cut him off. “Yea but still.. Yeosang, don’t you want to know how it feels like to live the life of a prince?” The boy thought about the idea for a short while and nodded to himself thinking about the fancy meals and the amount of toys he’d have if he was a young royal.

The boy leaped from the couch and went to the middle of the room. He extended his hand towards you, signaling for you to grab it. “Wanna see what my parents taught me? It’s a dance, but more fancy than what we usually do”

You exhaled the cold air and smiled before going up to him. “Show me, kind sir.”

“Um- but before we dance, we have to do this,” he blushed a light pink tint and proceeded to bow in front of you, pretending to take off a hat. “May I have this dance, m’lady?”

You tried so hard not to laugh at the sight but then answered with a giggly yes. He could see you almost bursting out one of the biggest laughs ever and playfully slapped the side of your shoulder.

“Okay, first we put our hands on each other’s shoulders,” He placed his hands on your shoulders, as you did the same. An awkward silence filled the air but that didn’t bother the both of you.

“Now, we just swing side to side,” He moved, swaying both of you together. You let out a little giggle.

“This is ridiculous! Did your parents make up this dance?”

“They said this is what they do at the festivals up there in the castle so..”

“Well, it’s still stupid,” You pouted jokingly. You both swayed to nothing but just the crackling fire and the voices of both of your mothers echoing from the kitchen. Suddenly, a light bulb appeared on the top of your head. You took control and spinned the heck out of you both, earning a little warm laugh from the boy in front of you. Getting more and more dizzy with every round, you stopped and collapsed to the ground, followed by the male which collapsed beside you.

Both of you continued laughing as if the only care in the world was if you got on the nice list for Christmas. Your soft smiles were illuminated by the fire that was starting to burn out.

“Y/N, promise me something..” He said, facing the ceiling with his hands on his stomach.

“Hm?”

“When we grow up, promise me we will do that again,” He said, followed by his classic warm smile.

“Princess Y/N,” your head perked up to see one of your royal maids calling out your name from the end of the hallway.

“Your dress is ready for the autumn festival!”

You groaned, not wanting to get out of your comfortable pajamas any sooner. This princess life was not what you had in mind. Now that you were eighteen, everything magical about being a princess faded away. The princes were not more than riches, the dresses so tight they didn't care about your respiratory tract and the dances to be filled with people that you didn't even know existed. Ten years ago, when your mother was revealed to be a distant relative to the royal family, they had asked her to take over the throne as they had no one left to count on. You ought to think that this was going to be just like Sofia The First. The hardest thing was to leave your life behind, including Yeosang. Seeing him act tough when you left made your heart flutter a little, of course, you didn’t - hadn’t - told him yet. Ever since you got here, every little thing that brings you joy would remind yourself of him. The same question would always repeat, “What was he doing now?”

With the help of your maid, you put your blue dress on that had streak marks of gold foil. It was a little tight around your waist, but you managed to get comfortable. Thank God, people don't use corsets anymore because that would've been such a nightmare. You really didn't like the fancy ballroom dances but admired the musical art behind it. Honestly, you would rather just stay in your room reading a good book instead of facing the thousands of fakes that were there to either take over your kingdom or ask for your hand in marriage.

Dusk arrived sooner than expected and the guests filled the castle ballroom in no time. At these events, you always stuck around with your parents. The awkwardness of being around people that want to kiss you was always a problem. You kept a smile on your face not caring if you were genuine about it or not. Your answers to the questions they asked would be answered with a “Dad, how about you answer first. I’m getting a little thirsty.” and followed by you excusing yourself to get some refreshments. This time you did it again and actually got some water as you felt a small headache was coming your way.

As you took a sip of your drink, a figure from the crowd stood out to you. The mystery person was wearing a classic white uniform suit jacket with gold and black lining and a buttoned up white shirt. The chest area of the suit was filled with medals, some of which of the highest levels of honor. One little accessory that stood out was the little pink butterfly on the collar of the shirt that reminded you of the one that you gave him when he was younger.

“Yeosang!” you called out, to see if it was actually him. If he was here after all those years of not being in touch with each other. The now grown male turned to your direction and flashed the same smile he did, all those years ago.

“Y/N!” He called your name. His voice, now mature and filled with nothing but sweet honey made your heart flip. He willingly ditched the conversation he just now had and opened his arms wide as you both ran towards each other, not wanting to stop any sooner. The crowd opened up into a big area as everyone saw you both heading towards the middle of the room. He caught you as soon as you were held by him and lifted you from the ground. He twirled you around with your hands on his shoulders as you both laughed together. Is this what complete bliss felt like?

He finally placed you back on the marble floor and gave you a proper hug. You heard people clapping but that didn’t matter to you. You just found your best friend. After so many years of living without him. Your tears almost puddled but you decided that the meet-up was too public for crying and you weren't that sensitive. You pulled away and looked at him, scanning his now tall figure.

He certainly had been working out and gotten slightly cuter. This was a whole different Yeosang. You looked back at him and he cocked his head to the side with the familiar ‘wtf-are-you-doing’ face. Nevermind, still the perfect him you knew of. You finally realised what you were doing and a blush blossomed onto your cheeks.

“Sorry-” you said, as your hand covered the bottom half of your face. Since when did you get so flustered around him?

“It’s okay, Y/N/N,” He chuckled softly and looked at how much you’ve grown. You went from the mud-covered fairy to the most beautiful princess ever. However, you blushed a little harder than before when he said your old nickname and took a deep breath to let out the icky feelings. Smiling softly at the male, you initiated an actual conversation.

“I didn’t know you were a knight-” you said, grabbing his medals and looking at them one by one. “How come you’ve never told me?” you crossed your arms with a pout, cheekily.

“Well, first of all, I wanted to make it a surprise. Second, I trained for three years and couldn’t contact you at all,” he stopped for a bit and looked at your face once again. “And lastly, when did you become this pretty?” he said, with a smirk on his face.

You let out a light laugh trying not to let out a big laugh in this type of crowd. “Oh, good one,” you said, wheezing and holding his shoulder before you realised that he meant the unusual compliment. “You- you’re not kidding?” you asked, with an ‘are-you-serious-rn’ face. He nodded.

“Since when did you become such a flirt?” you asked, with a worried look on your face.

He shrugged and chuckled once again. “Don’t be alarmed though, I was just seeing if you would blush again”

“Well no- you flirting seems weird enough already. You flirting with me would be triple the weird. Therefore, no, I would not blush if you were to flirt with me,” you said sophisticatedly. There’s no way you would fall for this wimp.…. right?

Him flirting didn’t stop you both from talking to each other though. You both continued to talk and catch up with everything that happened in the past years. You were very interested in his adventures when he was a knight in training as equally as invested of he was in the stupid mistakes you’ve done during major public events. You decided to show him the castle gardens as they were the best shown at night with mini fairy lights wrapped around the bushes and in the middle of the garden was a circle of just grass that you could lay on that was surrounded by various types of flowers.

As you both got into the circle, the mini orchestra from the main ballroom was on their fifth song that night. You yawned as you were tired from the chit chat and the walking. You really needed some sleep after finishing that one book the night before.

“Hey, I think I should go- my parents are probably looking for me,” you said, not really wanting to leave.

“Not yet,” the handsome male said, extending his hand out to you. ‘This looked familiar’ you thought to yourself as a memory from the depths of your brain came to the surface. Ah, yes. The blurred music would make this hopefully not as awkward as before. “Did you save that dance for me after all this time, princess?”

“Yes, of course,” you said, baffled at the fact that he still remembers it as well.

“Let’s do it the right way this time. Shall we?” Yeosang chuckled before he bowing in front of you. “May I have this dance, Y/N?”

You smacked his head playfully and earned a slight yelp from him. He rubbed the place where you hit the poor fella and asked why.

“It’s Princess Y/N to you,” you said with a humph and placed your palm on top of his. “But yes, you may have this dance, Sir Yeosang.”

He flashed his warm sunny smile like he once did and pulled you in. You both looked into each other’s galaxy filled eyes and stayed in that position for a few seconds before actually moving. His other hand slipped down to your waist as yours held onto his shoulder. Both of you stayed silent during the dance as the atmosphere was already filled with beautiful gold coloured music notes and the faded sound of the crickets in the distance.

The memories of you both start to come back. The summers, autumns, winters, and springs you lived through. The secrets and laughs you shared. The fun play dates you spent together. You’re surprised at how much he matured but one thing you noticed that didn’t change was the smile that he always gave you. The sweet smile that looked like it was going to taste like cotton candy. The sweet smile that would always reassure you that it was going to be okay. The sweet smile that would make you feel as if you just witnessed the full bloom of the first flower in spring,

The music was about to end and you were feeling somber because of it but that didn’t stop you from slow dancing with the brave knight. A little towards the end, he pulled you in closer than ever before but stopped right before touching your lips. He could feel your breath as you did with his. You closed your eyes thinking he would actually do it but as soon as you leaned in, he pulled away. You opened your eyes to see that he bit his bottom lip and red tint spread across his face.

You blushed as well, this time harder than ever before. No boy has made you feel like this - even a prince - and somehow the boy who stood in front of you, the one who would always smother you in mud, the one that would steal your candy, the one that broke your favourite toy made you crazy out of your mind. After just one night with him?

Suddenly, he placed his right hand on your cheek and brushed his thumb over your soft skin. There it is again. That stupid smile. The one that started everything. He kissed your forehead softly before pulling you in for a tight hug that felt more different than the one in the ballroom. You hugged him back, wrapping your hands over his torso.

“I missed you,” he whispered into your ear. “so, so much.”

You wanted to stay in that moment forever. Him being close to you and his arms around you as if you were the most important thing to him. The fairy lights joined the bright stars, twinkling above you both as you shared the best hug. He finally pulled away after a few minutes that felt like nanoseconds to you. You bit your gums, wanting him to do that again. Wanting him to stay for a few more minutes if not hours. Wanting him to realise that you wanted to say something so vulnerable that you don’t just say to anyone else.

But alas, everything comes to an end.

You walked together to the entrance of the castle. Seeing the guests leave was always something so melancholy but now that your childhood best friend is leaving, it made you feel a slight something inside.

Deep inside, Yeosang didn’t want to leave either. He wanted you to tell him to stay. He wanted you to pull him back into the hugged you shared. He wanted you to hold you again and twirl you into the air. He wanted you to realise he still had those feelings for you. He wanted you to finally call him ‘yours’.

“I’ll see you soon?” he asked, in a soft voice.

“Yea, definitely,” you answered, trying not to spare another word.

“Well. Goodbye, princess,” he said. The male waved to you, as you did to him before getting into his car. A giddy smile appeared on his face as he thought of something that would tease you.

“Hey Y/N!” he called out, from the backseat of his car. You looked at him with a confused face from a distance.

“Je t'aime.”

With that his car exited the main gates and the thought of you filling his mind. He let out a little laugh, positive that you didn’t know what the phrase meant.

But you have learned about the foreign language over the years. Enough to know that it meant, “I love you.”

Ko: You mentioned "Tenshou Dynamite"

Ka: That is someone else's song! I just randomly introduced it as my own

Ko: Ahh... I see

Ka: I don't have music artist activities at all much

Ko: Then shall we play one of my songs ?

S: Shall we do that?

.....

Ka: Can't help it then

S: So could you please do the honours?

Ka: Well, well well well well well, here's "Time Machine" by Nishiyama Koutaro

A, B, C, D, N, O, P, S, Z

Ahhh yay! So many questions! ❤️

Also lol I basically spent my day slowly writing out my answers in the notes app.

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

- Hardzzello. Currently my main hyperfixation! I just love putting the two together, even with different characters they've played. I also very much like Nightangel but lol I'm also very particular about the fanfics and art that I consume regarding that ship.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

- Grami. Both as a platonic ship and as a romantic ship. Like I know they're close friends and care deeply for one another, but I never seemed to think of them in a shippy way until a friend pointed it out to me and how underrated the ship is. Now it's like my eyes have been opened and now I'm noticing how soft and sweet and affectionate they are with each other!

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

- R*ylo. Nope. Not for me and never will be.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

- Pixie/Harland/Frank. Okay here's the thing - if it had just ended slightly differently, then I would've enjoyed the ship. But the movie decided to go with that ending and it just felt so disappointing with how Pixie's character arc went.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

- Main fandom right now is the Queen/BoRhap fandom!

1. Definitely want more Rami in fics and art! I know people tend to focus on Gwil, Ben, and Joe because the three have been much more active in social media, (and certain other reasons). But c'mon, are you really going to leave out Rami?? The guy who brought Freddie Mercury to life in BoRhap?? That sweetheart??

2. I'm surprised that this needs to be said, but I want people to learn how to write Rami like an actual person, or at least try to base it on how he acts like in real life. Not sure if people still do this, but I used to see fics where they'd make him so unusually aggressive (bc racial biases towards black/brown men) OR they'd go the opposite route and make him super infantile and where he basically acts like a small child (bc apparently the only way they can think of to make a black/brown man not scary is to make him act and talk like a baby 🤢). Hopefully this has changed, but I'm not sure since I barely read fics by authors I don't know anymore.

Okay so this last one will be for the X-Men fandom!

3. More badass Kurt PLEASE! Enough of this uwu innocent bottom baby personality! Let him kick ass and flirt and be badass ffs!

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

- lol I put my music on shuffle and got Take On Me by A-ha, a song that makes me immediately think of Joe Mazzello solely based on the jumpy/funky/fun vibes of the music.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

- I just suddenly remembered how my friend reminded me about the BoRhap boys' age gap by saying that when Rami was 20, Gwil and Joe were 17. Then you have Ben who was only TEN. So like can you imagine an AU where they somehow met at that age? Just Rami, Gwil, and Joe panicking because they have this whole ass child right in front of them and they know nothing about childcare!

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

- aaahhh okay I will admit that I don't exactly understand this question. Like, an example from where? Canon? Fanfic? Why is there a prompts optional thing? Gah um okay I'll just answer it as me saying one of my headcanons!

Personally I think that Four from 6 Underground has ADHD based on his mannerisms and the way he gestures a lot and speaks fast and also because I relate to him and I also have ADHD, so there!

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

- I've probably said this before, but I am not over the similarities/coincidences between Queen and the BoRhap boys! It's not just from their looks! Like it's even down to their astrology with their sun and moon signs. And their relationships omg!

Like how Freddie was super close to John, then you have the decade-long friendship between Rami and Joe.

Brian and Roger were friends since the beginning of Queen and even until now, then you have Gwil and Ben who bonded over the fact that they're both Brits and can relate to each other more.

Then there's John and Roger's friendship and about them bonding more being the youngest ones in the band, meanwhile Joe and Ben's friendship is just such hilarious fun.

John and Brian have this sort-of friendship/rivalry going on, likewise with how Joe and Gwil pretend to fight over Ben.

Brian and Freddie have such an underrated friendship but it's obvious how much Brian cares based on how lovingly he speaks of Freddie, and it's the same with Gwil and Rami and how sweet and openly affectionate they are with each other.

Lastly there's Freddie and Roger being platonic soulmates, and while Rami and Ben's friendship may not be as open to public eye I can't forget the sweet things Rami said about Ben and how he called Ben the "glue" that brought them all together.

Aaaand I think I've rambled enough lol 😅 I hope you at least enjoyed what I let loose!

A-Z Fandom Asks

[pangzi]

i have one last activity i need to do tomorrow before i get a 5 day break and honestly it’s the only thing getting me through these last few hours hahahaha. ♥ get you a man who is baby but can also put stunts like that weibo update you posted today with the guns. waaaah. sounds like a good celebration! i did and it’s pretty similar to yours actually. we put more effort for christmas eve so we had a big family dinner then christmas day we went to the cemetery to visit my grandparents before

lazying around the house the whole day and eating leftovers hahaha. oh noooo poor xichen! i’m sure nmj will be down at the bottom ready to catch him and comfort him after hahahaha (i mean we love him but lol what you wrote is true T___T) kjqhda aaaahhhh i can’t believe this whole cc thing is almost over. i guess this is one of the last ones before the big reveal! so a couple of questions to you! who are you bringing with you on a roadtrip, cql edition? who is riding shotgun? who is driving? who is asleep and/or snacking non-stop? who is in control of the music? who is the navigator? and where are you going??? then rank jin ling’s favourite uncles! hahahaha. lastly, and this is kinda self-indulgent, based on my vibes, what style of cultivation would fit me best? hahahaha. you can disregard this last one if it’s too difficult. XD hope you’re well and safe! - cc. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ 

ooooo yay break wooohoooo!!!!! 

god yeah wang yizhou... king of being an entire sexy sexy man but also the biggest baby you’ll ever find wow!! he did a live today and ahhh i love him SO MUCH!! 

ooo that sounds like a nice chill celebration as well! I hope you had a wonderful time :D 

nmj will indeed be waiting at the bottom to catch him and kiss all his owies better!! 

icb it’s almost over either??? the end of the month came so suddenly icb it! i can’t wait to figure out who you are!! :D 

okay on a roadtrip i’d bring mmm... Jiang Yanli, Nie Mingjue and mmmm... Nie Huaisang! nmj drives, jyl navigates, they plan the trip together and jyl also makes sure everyone keeps hydrated and has snacks. me and nhs are vibing in the back both snacking and either napping or being annoying and idk singing along loudly to music or gossiping fdjgsdjfk. I think nmj or jyl would just make everyone make a playlist so nobody can complain abt the music gjfdkgjd. I think the places we’d go would be decided by everyone writing down somewhere they’d want to go or something they’d want to do and then we’d make a route like that! i still really want to see zhangjiajie so that would be my destination!! 

all i have to say abt jin lings uncles is that jiang cheng is his absolute number one fave uncle ever nobody can change my mind nobody can take his jiujiu’s place ever! 

ok this might be a weird way to answer the last question but i think we’d both fit in yunmeng jiang? (maybe i’m just saying this bc i’d wanna be in ymj and i want a friend gjdfsklgjd) but like they take their cultivation seriously but idk they seem to be more the type to have more fun ways of training (like the shooting the kites!!!)

Hey podcast listeners, Mac here, with a little announcement. First off- last week I released episode forty of my podcast. Which, is crazy. Because a few months ago I didn’t even have a podcast, and now I have forty episodes of a podcast.

I am so grateful to everyone who has listened to the podcast, left reviews on iTunes, and supported me on Patreon and Kofi. I am so incredibly moved to see that people out there are actually listening to my little podcast, real people, not just my mom! I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your incredible support, it means the world to me.

As some of you may know, I’m getting married in a few weeks (yay). Because of my wedding, Your New Apartment the podcast is going on hiatus until October. The podcast is something I write, edit, and produce all by myself. It takes an incredible amount of time and energy to finish even an hour long episode, and I’m concerned that between the wedding planning and other life stuff, I won’t be able to give the podcast the attention it needs.

However- I have some exciting episodes coming your way after the break, including episodes on house buying, insurance, the Bitches Get Riches episode, and Confessions of A Former Goth Part 2. I’m also always looking for new topics to cover and guests to speak to, so if you have any suggestions, please contact me at askyournewapartment@gmail.com

I wanted to take a minute to do a special shoutout to all my Patreon supporters. They have helped me pay all of my podcast hosting fees, as well as my Adobe Audition fee, which is the application I use to edit each podcast. They also helped me purchase in full- headphones, a Blue Yeti Microphone, and a pop filter for said microphone. Thanks to my mom, my Bubbie, Lissa, Ruth, Elise, Dianna, Svenja, Naomi and the lovely ladies at Bitches Get Riches. Thank you to past Patreon donors as well, I know committing to a monthly payment can be tough, and I appreciate everything you were able to give me.

I also recently had some incredibly generous Kofi donors, which helped me purchase Kofi Gold for a year. Starting in October, I will be accepting Kofi Commissions for Adulting-related posts and questions. A huge thanks to Mars and two other anonymous donors for helping me purchase Kofi Gold.

With all this incredible help, I feel so selfish asking for more, but it’s the nature of podcasting. As it is, I am making $0 in profit from this podcast. Which is fine, my patrons are covering all of my monthly expenses, and I’m so incredibly grateful for that. In my travels in podcast editing, I’ve discovered several more tools that I’d like to purchase that would greatly increase my ability to record in a higher definition. Recording in higher definition means that editing each podcast would be a hundred times easier, as well as cutting down my editing time by a significant amount.

I use Zencastr to record remotely with people, and it's a great software. I am currently using their free plan, which has limited recording quality and storage space options. Zencastr Pro would be an addition $20 a month! If I get 20 new $1/month patroons or two very generous $10/month patrons, I will be able to purchase Zencastr Pro. 90% of my interviews are done remotely, so upgrading would make  a HUGE difference for me! $1/month gets you early access to podcasts as well a vote on podcast/blog content. $10/month gets you both those things, and two additional very special YNA podcasts each month. Go to Patreon.com/yournewapartment for more info.

If you’re unable to give monthly, but would like to make a one-time donation, you can buy me a coffee on Kofi. All proceeds from Kofi are going towards paying off my Kofi Gold one-year subscription! After that, I will use the proceeds to pay for soundproofing for my home for better recording quality. Go to ko-fi.com/yournewapartment

My future goals for the podcast are purchasing an incredibly expensive piece of equipment that will allow me to record phone calls in high definition audio, as well as being able to pay to transcribe every single episode of the podcast for hard of hearing listeners. This is a request I get a lot, but it costs SO MUCH money, I really cannot afford to do it that often. Which sucks. Because I want to be more accessible. If you want to make a donation towards transcribing a specific episode through Ko-fi, let me know, and I will put your money towards transcription (usually costs about $6/episode).

If you can’t afford to support me in a financial way, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE rate and review YNA on iTunes! The more reviews I get, the higher my SEO ranking! And hopefully one day, I can even get some sponsors.

I know I’ve mentioned her a lot lately, because I am completely obsessed with her music, but once again, big shoutout to Natalia Ice. Natalia graciously allowed me to use music from her album “Hungover/Spiritual” as my transition music. You can find her music on all of your favorite streaming platforms. You can buy her music on Bandcamp and buy some awesome merch at her website nataliaice.com. Check out her episode of YNA the podcast if you haven’t already! She is one of the coolest people I’ve ever spoken to.

Finally, I wanted to give a big shoutout to all of my lovely guests who offered me their time for free, many of whom appeared on the podcast multiple times. It was so much fun getting to know all of you, and thank you for supporting the podcast.

Listeners- if there was a particular guest you enjoyed hearing, please let me know! Many guests come on this podcast thinking that everyone is going to hate them and that nobody is going to care about their episode, despite how many times I tell them that they’re amazing. I love sharing specific feedback from listeners, and it may even help me encourage some guests to make a second appearance on the show! So again, if you loved a particular episode, let me know.

And lastly, before I go, I wanted to a share a very special podcast episode with you, as a thank you for all of your support. This episode is a Patreon-exclusive episode that I released back in May. This episode really has nothing to do with adulting, but it was so much fun to record, and I did hands down the most amount of research on this episode that I’ve ever done for the podcast.  It was HOURS upon HOURS of research! So you better stick around and listen to the whole thing! There is cursing throughout this episode, so if that’s not your thing, please skip the episode. A huge thank you to Maddie, Nova, and Naomi for recording this episode with me, I hope to do a rematch sometime soon. I will link their respective blogs for everyone to check out and support, and they’ve all appeared on YNA the podcast before, so listen to those episodes as well.

Don’t forget to check out my backlog of 40 episodes! There may be one you missed, and they’re all worth listening to. Follow YNA on Tumblr and Instagram, and check out the episode page for any and all links mentioned in this preview. Enjoy.

[kays-musings]

hi!! im an undergrad who's v interested in going to grad school for musicology. do u have any advice on your own journey?

Hi! I'm so sorry it took me 10 years to respond to this, I hope answering it will still be helpful to you. First off, that's super cool you want to go to grad school for musicology. I will list off some stuff but if you have more specific questions, feel free to send me a follow-up.

Ok so, firstly, you can get *paid* to be a PhD student in musicology. It will likely involve a mixture of fellowship(s) (don't have to work, yay!) and TA hours (teaching assistant, also yay but more work). Personally, I'd say don't go for a stand-alone Master's degree unless you are getting paid to do that. Paying for a Master's degree costs so much money and will put you in the hole debt-wise without giving you a degree you can really work with. I can only speak from the hellscape that is the US educational system, so if you can get paid to get a Master's somewhere else and you want to, then obviously do that. I got my master's degree in music composition and am in a lot of debt because of it...

Secondly, picking out programs, I think the number one thing would be to pick a program where you think you are a "good fit" rather than wherever seems prestigious. To do this, mostly look at what the current faculty are doing and try to find more than one person doing something you could see yourself working on with them independently. For example, at my school there's a person who does queer studies, a person who does voice studies, and a person that does disability studies and I have found it helpful to either be in classes with them or to have them be mentors for me in one-on-one classes etc. I'm drastically oversimplifying the things that draw me to these particular faculty but hopefully you get the idea. It might also help to see if the current or recent grad students are doing research you're interested in and respect the idea of. You of course will be your own unique voice in the field, but it might be nice to have some general things in common with your peers (for me, that's an interest in social justice/progressiveness rather than just old white dead man did thing...)

Thirdly, I think since you are still in undergrad, it's worth asking yourself what job you would ideally get at the end of graduate school in musicology. There's not a lot of options and it will be competitive and a lot of work (like so many things are of course!) If you think you could scratch your musicological itch in undergrad or through independent study/in conjunction with other work, that's good too. I think we try to have our job also be our passion but that can get in the way of making your passions your passions and also having a healthy work-life balance. Just make sure you can reconcile those things if you decide to go to grad school for musicology.

Lastly, find a mentor or two at your current institution. A professor that inspired you to want to learn more about musicology. Let them know you loved their class and you're thinking of pursuing this. Unless they're an asshole (better to find that out early) they will Love this and hopefully be supportive and help you navigate things. If you're at a music school, your music librarian is also a good resource for questions on how to do research...anyway I think I'll stop for now, but my inbox is open if you have more questions (or if anybody else wants advice on grad school or musicology)

This is the end of part two. Jesus this was a wild ride, which was not softened by the formal introduction into Markus’ story. The way this game is made is incredible the small movements of the characters to the little things like small smiles and the movement of the eyes closing are amazing this is one of the most beautiful games that I’ve seen in a long time. And the music for this game I definitely will be finding the sound track after I’ve finished this game because this music is stupendous. It has the best tension in the right places, but it also lets you breathe with the soft sounds. I absolutely love this game.

Ok now to the characters, first up was Markus in this chapter. It was cool that I got to know more about his character, and he so far has the best employer and is the most unlikely android to die at the hands of his owner. But Leo is the fly in the soup, I really don’t want to be right but I definitely think that he will do something to Markus and that makes me very concerned. I hope there is a lot more nice weather before a storm rolls in metaphorically speaking, because this boy deserves good things. Like I wouldn’t get bored if in between the other stories I had a breather playing Markus’ character.

Carl is a lovely person and the fact that he treats Markus with the respect that he would treat anyone is great. I don’t really know anything more about his character however since this is the first time meeting him and the obvious clues that he enjoys reading, playing the piano, playing chess, and collecting the remains of dead animals of now and prehistoric animals.

Leo has a tiny bit more to to his character. Firstly he is the son of Carl, a rich painter who obviously had a well off life. And when we first hear about him we find out that he doesn’t call his dad so it is just Markus and his dad all the time. Which then leads to him hating Markus due to the fact his dad like Markus as well as him which leads me to believe he was an only child and never had to share his parents attention with anyone until Markus became the live in help. Also Leo must have fallen in with the wrong rich crowd and now has a drug problem which what ever is allowance is can’t cover. So all in all his character is basically a rich white boy, who feels like his dad owes him more than what he is given and the fact that Markus is the ‘better sibling’ to Carl, (I’m using loose terms to describe this relationship.) it makes him resent his father and hate androids. So his character will either go to rehab, or the more likely options steal from his father, or kill his father and, or Markus for the money and attention.

In second chapter we got back Connor! Yay I thought that I would have to play through again to have any story with Connor in it and I’m so glad that I was wrong. I like his story the most, it is fun playing detective, and apart from the attic scene where I thought I was going to get him killed, this was the most fun chapter of the second parts. Connor is real literal character, his way of doing things is straight to the point. There is no hesitation with him deciding to do something that will complete the mission, or if there is something that is not a possibility he will immediately disregard it. Which could lead to trouble down the road with him taking things too literally and missing things that people with an imagination wouldn’t. This isn’t me ragging on him, because I love Connor’s character, but the way that the writers for this game has set him up is to make this character trait highlighted to the viewers. And that means that this may become a problem if objectivity and empathy are a choice. This is a good thing because the right and wrong choices could be one or the other or none. This will make Connor such an interesting character to play.

Hank, now this is a character that is in my favourite character tropes, A jaded old detective who has seen too much, and hates the world, but does his best to protect the city and the people he loves. But in saying that I really hope Connor and Hank become partners. There’s nothing like a disgruntled old jaded police officer teaming up with a young fresh from the academy officer. I really like that trope especially when they become best friends. But in saying that Hank seems to be the guy that cares too much rather than cares a little. Some of the examples I’ve seen are When he tells Connor off for putting the blood in his mouth. Him semi praising him when he gets the ‘what happed here’ questions right. And lastly when the deviant is found he immediately requested backup. I don’t think he hate-hates androids but I do think that he has a personal grudge against one. Which will make Connor befriending him a hard but not impossible.

The last chapter was back with Kara. Kara, jeez, I’m so glad that she is an android because the therapy that would cost her and Alice after being abused by Todd and not to mention Kara shooting Todd, and Alice witnessing it would be a small fortune. Kara I’m glad that she got the chance to defend Alice because I probably would have put the game down if it just let me stand there and had Alice beaten within an inch of her life or murdered. This would be one of the few reasons that I would put a game down like this. I will never support a game that murders people that are innocent, which is a bit ironic from me since I did shoot Todd. I can see that my words are a bit hypocritical. But I will not watch or play a game where victims are murdered just for shock value, especially in a game like this. Anyway Kara’s character is going to be more like a surrogate mother to Alice, and will have to look after the best an android can. I don’t know how well that will go but I am rooting for the both of them to survive.

Alice, jeez this game really knows how to make my heart bleed. Every time I see her it is just me wanting to get her out of Todd’s reach and safe. I don’t know exactly how old she is but I’m willing to bet with the height of her she is under 10-years-old. I hope she will be ok, this is a lot for a little girl to process. She has just lost her father, her home, and the life that she knew. She will lean on Kara heavily after this especially since Kara has proven that she is the number one priority in Kara’s programming. This will be a very trying time with the girls and I don’t know that Kara and Alice will make it without at least fighting with one another once.

Ok guys now for the predictions:

Markus will find Leo stealing or have killed Carl.

Or Markus will be killed by Leo.

Hopefully Markus will play the piano, read, play chess, or paint again.

Markus and Carl go to the art exhibition, andmaybe I get to chat with some people.

Connor becomes friends with Hank. This one will happen, I promise.

Connor freaks more people out with his taste testing.

Connor works more police cases.

Kara and Alice adjust to being homeless and hopefully find an android friendly shelter.

And lastly Kara and Alice are happy.

Jesus guys this game is really hitting me hard but this is probably the worst that could happen right. I mean I can only kill my characters and some NPCs if I have a gun or weapon so I should be fine. I definitely won’t purposely kill Connor, Kara, or Markus. You would have to take the controller away from me to do that. And I don’t think any of the androids can use a gun other than Kara and I’m positive that she left it at the house. So that should stop NPCs from dying.

Only A Dance (Part II)

Part I (if you haven’t read it yet)

Recap: 

“Well with how much swelling there is, you might’ve fractured your ankle. Does it hurt here?” I wince and nod. “What about here?” I wince again. “I’m going to take you to get some x-rays, but I need to ask you a couple questions before we go. Have you had any surgeries in your foot” “No, I have not.” “Okay lastly for your safety, are you pregnant?” I laugh a little and turn towards Shawn smiling, “Surprise?”

“Wait.. what? Are you pregnant?” Shawn says in shock.

I look between both Shawn and Doctor Avery. “Yeah, I’m pregnant.” 

“How far along are you?” Doctor Avery

“8 weeks or so.” The doctor then writes down on his clipboard.

“Okay. While giving X-rays, we typically put a lead apron on to protect organs from any scattered radiation rays. Today we’d just be scanning your foot, so there shouldn’t be much worry.” he smiles. “I’ll have my nurses wheel you down to surgery and I’ll meet you down there.”

“Thank you Doctor Avery.” The doctor exits the room and I look at Shawn. “Are you okay?” I place my hand on his shoulder and start to rub it.

“So you really are pregnant?” He looks up at me from his seat next to me.

“Yeah I am.”

“When were you going to tell me?”

“I was planning on telling you after all of our performances because I didn’t want you to worry.”

“You weren’t going to tell me for another month?”

“No..”

“So you didn’t want me to worry? Or you just didn’t want to tell me?”

“Why wouldn’t I want to tell you?” I reach for his hand, but he pulls it back.

“I don’t know. Probably why you didn’t tell me about your past with Grant.”

A knock sounds at the door, but I ignore it. “Shawn please don’t do this.”

“Hi, sorry if I’m bothering you two -” The nurse says after making her appearance. 

“Don’t worry we’re done here.”  Shawn says with a sarcastic smile.

The nurse furrows her eyebrows in confusion. “Miss y/l/n, I need to take you to x-ray.” She turn towards Shawn. “Would you like to come with?”

“If that’s okay?”

She smiles at him “Yeah, it’s okay.” then the nurse unlocks the wheels on my stretcher. Shawn walked next to me as the nurse pushed me down the hall. I kept hoping that he’d talk to me, look at me, or something. But what had I expect since I kept a pretty big secret from him. Instead of looking at Shawn the entire time, I decide to lay back and just close my eyes. Suddenly I felt a hand reach mine, knowing it was Shawn’s. I sigh in relief because this was his way of showing he cared and was worried about me without saying anything.

Eventually we got down to the X-ray room. Y/n was laying where the scanning device is and I was behind this lead wall and wearing this super heavy lead apron. Doctor Avery was explaining to y/n what was going to happen. 

“How long have you two been together?” the nurse asks me.

“6 years, almost 7.”

“I remember being young and in love once.”

I notice the ring and wedding band on her left hand. “How long have you been married to him?”

“Oh I divorced that one long ago.” she laughs. “But I married this one last year.”

“I’m sorry about that...and congratulations all at the same time.” I say while awkwardly scratching the back of my neck.

“You care about her a lot, don’t you?”

“Yeah I do. I love her a lot and I don’t know what I’d do without her.”

“Well first of all you don’t need someone to be happy. But, if you really care about her try not to get mad over her not telling you about the pregnancy. Right now she’s going through a lot of changes with her body and the added stress won’t help the babies.”

“I’m not mad about it -” The nurse immediately turned around and gave me a look with her eyebrow raised. “Okay maybe a little bit. But, we always planned on having kids later. Especially when both of our careers are crazy and starting.”

She turns to look at where y/n is. “Children are both blessings and curses. Sometimes they come at times when really aren’t the best. But once that child is born and you’re holding it in your arms, you know you made the best decision and won’t let a fly hurt that precious little one. Even when a few days later when you’re losing sleep and sanity, they’ll still hold your heart.”

Then Doctor Avery comes over by us. “Thank you Darla. She’s all set and can go back.” he then looks at me. “You sure got a fighter over there.”

Soon I was back in my hospital room. Shawn was sitting next to me showing me these amazing album designs made by his fans on twitter.

Three knocks sound at the door. “How are things going?” Doctor Avery enters the room.

“I’m doing alright, my ankle it still pretty sore.”

“Yeah it’s going to be for a while. I have your x-ray’s if you’d like to see?” I nod back to his question. “So this here is your ankle.”

“No I thought it was your boob.” Shawn whispers in my ear. I hit his arm which caused him to start laughing.

“Luckily there is no fracture in your foot and ankle.”

“Yay” I say excitedly.

“Unfortunately, you have a pretty sever sprain in your ankle. So I’m going to wrap up your foot and then I’m going to put it in this boot.” He grabs the roll of bandage from out of his pocket and uncovers my foot from the blanket. “You won’t be able to go back to ballet for at least a month.”

“A month?! That’s like -”

“Forever. I know. Does the bandage feel too tight?”

“No, it feels fine..”

“How about we set up an appointment in two weeks to see how your foot is healing? And if it is going okay, you could be back dancing in a month or less.”

“That sounds good!”

“Wonderful! I’ll have a nurse come in a finish the details and get you some crutches to use for the first few days. Have a great rest of your night you two.” He shakes our hands before exiting the room.

“One month is going to take a long time...”

“Tell me about it.”

“Huh?” I was confused by Shawn’s response. How does he know it’s going to be a long time. He’s not in ballet right now, so it’s not like he would know. Mind you, he does have time limits for his album and stuff like that so he probably would know.

“A little birdy told me someone’s getting released tonight.” said the nurse.

I smile really big. “I’m surprised actually. I thought my foot was broken with how bad it hurt at first.”

“You got off lucky.” She winks at me.

“You got off lucky.” Darla winks at y/n then looks at me. 

Darla continues talking to y/n about her next appointment amongst other topics. I’m too focused on my phone texting my mom about how y/n it doing. I explain about y/n ankle just being severely sprained. “So you don’t have the chance to ask her tonight do you?” My mom texts me back. To be honest, I was supposed to propose to y/n tonight. Well, those plans changed until that douchebag dropped her and we ended up at a hospital. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do it anytime soon now. I respond back to my mom and she send back: “I love you sweetie. Tell y/n I wish her the best. Xx”

“Hey big shot, did you hear that?”

“Hm what?” I tuck my phone into the pocket of my suit jacket.

“Men..” Darla and y/n laugh.

“My appointment is October 27th at 10am.”

“Alright sounds good. My mom says hi and she wishes you the best by the way.”

“There's nothing else left here, but for you two to go home and relax. Just help y/n get changed into her clothes and out of her hospital gown. Got that big shot?”

I laugh “Yes I do. Thank you Darla. For everything.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” She smiles. “Now get out of here and go home. I still have an hour before my shift ends.” Darla then leaves the room.

I go over and grab the bag of y/n’s clothes. “How do you know her name?” Y/n questions.

“Well for starters, it’s on her name tag. Plus I was talking to her when you were getting your X-ray done and Doctor Avery said it.” I then untie her gown from the back. I had her, her bra and the shirt. She then slips them on. Next I help her stand up and carefully slide on her leggings over the wrap on her foot. She sits back down so she can slide the leggings on her other leg. I stand next to her to help her balance while she pulls the pants up complete, then she sits down again. I grab the black boot that Avery provided her and slide that onto her foot too. 

“Thank you.” Y/n says as I hand her the crutches. 

“Anything for you.” I kiss her forehead and we head out to the lobby, which happened to be close by. 

“Aw shoot it’s raining outside.” Y/n says, noticing it through the big glass windows.

“Stay here close to the door and I’ll go pull up the car.”

“Okay, I’ll be here.” 

I find the keys in my pocket before heading outside, so it’s faster to get into the car. As I run out into the rain, I feel water fill my shoes. It’d been raining so much that it’d created a little flood in parts of the parking lot. Finally I get to the car, unlock it, and drive up the the doors of the hospital. I run back into the building where y/n was waiting. “Hold these.” signaling to her crutches. She looks at me confused until I pick her up bridal style. I run back to the car, open the passenger car door, and put her in. After closing the door behind her, I run to the driver’s side. I look at y/n and she is soaked, but she has a huge smile on her face.

“This reminds me of our first date.” Just the thought of our first date brings a smile to my face. On our first date we decided to go star gazing. That’s the night we also had our first kiss. We were so caught up in the moment that we didn’t see the clouds forming over head, until we felt the downpour come down on us. I picked her up just like I had just now and carried her to the car.

“That was a pretty good night if I do say so myself.” I smiled and leaned over to place a kiss on her lips. “Let’s go home and get dried.”

If I had to be in a car with anyone, it would be anyone but Shawn. He’s so reckless while driving. He’s either so into the music he’s blaring or he’s taking pictures while driving. I swear to god if he does this when our kid is born, I’m going to beat his ass.

“Can you please pay attention to the road? It’s already storming and you’re making me nervous.”

Shawn turns down the music playing, “What? You don’t feel safe when I drive?”

“No I don’t, not really.”

“Mhm you’re just embarrassed by my dancing.”

“Oh honey that’s been since the day I met you.” I laugh. “Just focus on getting home okay?”

Less than two minutes later we’re home. Shawn pulls up into the garage and goes around to my side to help me out.

“I can do this, thank you though.”

Shawn steps back and takes a bow. “After you m’lady.”

“You’re such a goof.” I hobble in my crutches into the house with Shawn following shortly behind me. 

Shawn sets down his jacket on the back of a chair in the dining room. “I’m going to go change clothes. Do you want anything.” 

“No I’ll change in a little bit, I’m going to get a glass of water first.” Shawn goes into our room and I head to the kitchen. I grab a glass and fill it up with water from the fridge. Shawn’s phone goes off.

“Hey babe! Can you see what that says, it’s from Andrew.” He shouts.

“Yeah.” I go into his pocket reaching for his phone, but I feel something else in his pocket. It’s tiny and cold. I pull it out and it’s a ring; an engagement ring.

“What’d he say?” Shawn comes walking out in just his pajama bottoms. “Oh shit.” He takes notice of what’s in my hands.

“When were you going to ask me?” I look up from the ring and look at him.

He scratches the back of his head. “The plan was tonight after your performance, but then you got hurt and then I found out that you were pregnant. I didn’t want you to think I was proposing to you just because I found out and I..” He sighs. “I love you, y/n. I wanted it to be perfect.”

I start to tear up. He takes the ring from my hand and gets down on one knee. “I’ve wanted to ask you this question for years, practically since I laid eyes on you. You are the most beautiful woman in the world. You have the biggest heart I know. You are kind and caring. Most importantly, you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Y/n, will you marry me?” 

At this point the tears were streaming down my face and I just nod my head so fast since no words could come out. Shawn slides the ring on my finger and stands up. I hug him immediately, crying into his warm skin. I then kiss him so that it’s the most passionate kiss that we’ve shared, if that’s even possible.

I pull back and look into his amazing eyes. “There’s no other way I would’ve wanted you to ask me.”

more intro to myself pt 2 ?

um ok so about more things i like i also like:

- calligraphy and studyblrs/studygrams :) i wish i started one but i’m not satisfied with my stuff (or most of my stuff) and i dont want my mutuals to find me 0-0

- i play violin ? this isn’t a like but like i play it a little bit :D i’m not in orchestra this year since they placed me in t h e a t r e .-. but it’s just a year i guess ;0 i need to whip out my violin RIP LOL

- oh i like anime and stuff and shows! haven’t been able to watch too many recently since school and everything but i’ve watched like the bare basics of animes and shows. i’ve watched sherlock, htgawm, reign, supergirl, idk a bunch of random stuff but i think sherlock is my favorite. in terms of animes i’ve watched death note, kakegurui, jjba s1-s3 (i know im weak), haikyuu!!!, one punch man, and probably one other thing but my brain capacity is small. i like haikyuu :))

- oh and lastly i’m not too into this anymore but i used to like kpop a lot :D i’m like decently versed in the community, not super hardcore but i was a casual fan and my first and currently only album is exo’s tempo allegro version :D i also used to be an *intense* bts fan but i drifted a lot lol. i just like pretty chill music now :0

um i don’t know what other parts of introductions there are i’m not really social rip. usually at school when we’re forced to do introductions i just say some simple stuff like “hi im ____ and my favorite animal is a dog and my favorite color is yellow”, stuff like that (<- that’s true doe LOL) 

idk this is my first time on tumblr ? idk if i’ll use it too much but writing this out was actually pretty nice. it’s kind of my only escape from the world (besides my lovely <3 esports <3) where i can just be myself and not worry about how my friends or what people around me think of me. i know that’s a really bad mindset but it’s kind of ingrained in my brain. it’s not to the point where i’ll actively change like who i am around people but it’s just i die inside a little bit whenever i do anything in life. for instance, i had a kahoot game in school and i put my normal kahoot name, which was “vickvickvickvic” and when everyone put their normal names i actually just MELTED into my chair and died. good thing it lasted only 1 question though YAY

idk what types of things i’ll be posting here; i also don’t really know how this website works LOL 0-0 . i’ll probably be sharing a ton of ESPORTS WOOO since i don’t have an outlet for that in my daily life and yknow i wanna express my admiration somewhere :) 

getting tumblr is also kind of a landmark for me i guess? if i wanna put it symbolically ? (god that how to read literature like a professor book is really in my brain ow ptsd - chovy). it’s the first thing in a while that i’ve actually gone through with after i had an idea about it lolololol i have ideas but i never go through with them so this one’s new.

maybe this’ll be like a limited journal ? i’m not gonna post everything about my life i’m not trying to get kidnapped but like maybe it’ll just be somewhere to write my thoughts :D 

also sorry to anyone (and my future self) for writing this so long lol mb if anyone reads this im sorry you had to read the painful intro of who i am 

OH i also extremely SUCK at being social

but gnightt im gonna prep and hopefully stay up to watch one game of play ins stage for worlds tonight since last night (opening night god i suck) i fell asleep ;-;-;-;-;-;;- but bye to everyone/myselfidontreallyknowwhothisblogistoorfororwhattheintendedaudienceis

[whimsicaldaydreamss]

Since school's started I've gotten into a pattern of staying up in bed working or doing nothing until I basically pass out from exhaustion then waking up and doing the same thing again. I'm thinking that's not a great pattern, do you have any suggestions?

Well, for the work portion I would make sure that the place you are doing your work in is an environment that you won’t get easily distracted in. For example, I need to work in quiet settings where there aren’t a lot of people because then there won’t be a lot of distractions. If like listening to music while you work, listen to something that won’t distract you. A good example is, classical music. It’s calming, soothing, and it doesn’t have lyrics so you won’t stop to sing with the song. You should also focus on your time management, because if that is something you’re not good at, you could be doing work for  hours on end without actually getting anything done. So pace yourself. For example: 1 hour for math homework, 10 minute break, 20 minutes for Spanish, 10 minutes for English, 5 minute break, etc… There are many good apps out there that you can download or if you have a timer on your phone you can also use that, but you have to stick with it otherwise there is no point to it. If you’re able to manage your time well, you should be able to have an approximate bed time as well. There will be days when there is no choice but to sleep late because of all the work you have to do, but if you manage it, you should be able to go to bed earlier than you normally would.

(If you reeeeeally don’t want to read the paragraphs, I made a lil’ bullet point list alllllll the way at the bottom!! Just keep scrolling!!)! :)

Another big thing that may be Tempting is if your friends say “hey let’s hang out,” or “Hey, there’s a party tonight, we have to go!” Sure, that will probably be fun and you might really want to do it, but you really have to check how much work you have and ask yourself if you’re willing to go to bed/finish homework much later than you normally would. There will always be times when you can hangout with friends or go to party’s for fun, but the work won’t be pushed back just because you went to a party. So try to remember that.

I should add this in somewhere so I’ll do it here. Reward yourself if you’re able to complete your goal, that way it gives you an incentive to do it again and again!. For example, I looove chocolate and I also like watching anime. If I am able to complete a certain amount of tasks (more that 2!) then I’ll eat some chocolate. If I am able to finish all of my tasks for the day and still have some time left then i will reward myself with the next episode of the anime of my choice! :)

When it comes time for bed, don’t go to bed and then go on your phone. Looking at your screen before you go to bed actually makes you stay up even longer. If you really have to use it, put on the night setting if your phone has that and make sure your phone light is dimmed all the way. Other things that a few people I know do are, drinking tea (specifically chamomile) before bed because that helps calm the body. Also, warm showers are relaxing. One of my friends even has a diffuser which they say helps to calm them down because the fragrances are all natural. Lastly, make sure that your room temperature is comfortable enough for you to actually sleep. You don’t want to be too hot or too cold. Also, here’s a biggie, have a set bedtime…at least try during the work week. Try to go to bed early, that way you have some energy when you wake up and you’ll be able to focus more AND you’ll be a more positive person! :))))

Here’s a shorter version of everything I just said above:

Work Portion:

Be in an environment where you wont get easily distracted

Ex. A library or quite study space

Listen to something that won’t draw your attention away (Make sure you’re not playing DJ with your music- as in don’t go and pick a different song every two minutes!!!)!

Ex. Classical Music, Piano Covers

Time Management/ Set Goals/ Pace Yourself = Early Bed Time

Ex. Have a timer for yourself on when you should do/finish assignments and when to take breaks. If you do this you can go to bed early! *Yay!*

Check how much work you have… Work WILL NOT be pushed back fro you.

High School, College, Work, Life in general- things will not stop for you. No matter what, you will have to do it or face the consequences.

Reward yourself!

You don’t have to be a bully to yourself and not have any fun! Give yourself incentives and rewards.

Ex. Love chocolate and want to watch some Netflix tonight? Well, if you finish two or more tasks then you can go ahead and eat a piece or two of chocolate. If you finish everything and still have time before bed, go ahead and watch that Netflix episode.

Bed Time:

Don’t go to bed and then go on your phone–> Makes you stay up longer!!

If you need to:

Use your phones night setting

Dim the light all the way to loooowwwww

Other Suggestions:

Drink Tea

Warm Showers

Diffuser with natural fragrances (tea tree/essential oils)

Comfortable Room Temperature

Set Bedtime

Try to go to bed early!! = More sleep = more energy = better/positive attitude.

I hope either some or all of this will help you out!!! If you have anymore questions let me know and I will do my very best to answer them!!

They Ask If Dom's Arrived But Unfortunately He Hasn't And The Last Time Vince Heard From Him He Was In Ecuador A Few Weeks Ago. Having Dinner That Night, Vince Talks About How He Ended Up In Rio, Saying That After Brian Screwed Everything Up He Ended Up Drinking His Way Across South America And It Would Have Continued If Not For His Wife, Rosa...

Meanwhile, Mia Spends Her Time With Vince's Wife, Rosa Who Discovers That Mia Is Pregnant And That Neither Dom Nor Brian Know...

Talking With Both Brian And Mia, Vince Talks About A Job Coming Up That Despite Dom Not Being Here They Can Do Themselves Coulple High End Cars, Easy Targets And Someone Vince Knows Is Putting Together A Team To Swipe Them All They're Going To Need Is A Few More Willing Participants...

But Brian Isn't Sure But Vince Tells Him That With The Way The Car Scene Works In Rio They Can Unload Them Quick And Get Good Money And From His Point Of View Brian And Mia Could Use A Little Cash..

The Next Morning, Brian And Mia Are On-Board A Train Where Mia Is Looking At A Travel Guide Until They Get The Signal To Which They Digitally Copy The Conductor's Pass So They Can Create A Card To Open The Doors, Finding The Right Area, They Get The Covers Off As People Outside Weld Their Way In...

(End At 5:24)

Once They Come Up For Air, Dom And Brian Are Taken By The Other Guys Who Work For Hernan Reyes Who Is Probably The Worst Bad Guy These Films Have Ever Had And That Includes Verone...

Look At Him, This Guy Doesn't Even Match Up To What Braga Was In The Last Movie!

Anyway, Reyes That If He Tells Them Where The Car Is He'll Let Them Go But Brian Saying That Reyes Is Full Of Crap Leads Reyes To Threaten To Come After Mia...

(Acting Like Liam Neeson) And I Will Kill Her...

Dom Gets Outs Out Of His Bonds Once Reyes Is Gone So He Can Continue Beating The Crap Out Of His Men While Brian...Kicks Them...Yay...Don't Quit Your Day Job, Brian...

Reuniting With Mia, She Wonders Where Vince Is Which Brian Says Is A Good Question But If That's Not All, Mia Has More Bad News, Everyone Is Blaming Them For The Death Of Some DEA Agents That Were On The Train, Which Means They're Now America's Most Wanted And They Got To Get Out Of There But Dom's Not Going Anywhere Yet Because Reyes Wanted This Car And He Wants To Find Out Why...

That Night, DDS Luke Hobbs Arrives In Rio And How Do I Describe Hobbs In This Movie? Well, To Put It In Musical Terms Consider Him The Javert To Dom's Valjean...

Talking With The Chief Of Police, Hobbs Tells Him That He Wants 2 Things ,1. He Needs A Translator For Which He Chooses Elena Neves And The Other Thing Is To Stay The Hell Out Of His Way...

Back At The Garage, Vince Returns With Both Brian And Dom Asking Where He's Been Turns Out There Are Guys Around The Favelas Asking About Them And He Couldn't Get Out Of There Without Leading Them Straight To Them However Brian's Not Buying It...

But That Night, Dom Sees Vince Going To Get A Microchip Out Of The Car Confirming Brian's Suspicions Of Vince's Involvement With Reyes...

(Start At 0:19, End At 1:39)

Meanwhile, Hobbs Looks At The Train As Officer Elena Neves Arrives On The Scene, And How Do I Explain Her? Well, Consider Her Dom's Love Interest For This Movie And The Next Movie Anyway, Wondering Why Hobbs Wanted Her Turns Out The Reason Is Because He Thinks That She's Motivated And That She's The Only Officer That Can't Be Bought...

One Of Hobbs Men Comes To Him With Some Good News And Bad News, Good News Is They Found The Spots Where They Unloaded The Cars And The Bad News Is The Ground Rolls Into A Hard Pack And They Lost The Track But Reyes Points Out That Road Heads Toward The Favelas...

The Next Morning, They Look At The Chip And Discover That It's A Delivery Schedule And What's Better Each Shipment Is Worth $10 Million Dollars And What's Even Better Is 100 Million In Cash Houses..

Discovering That This Is Reyes Entire Network On A Chip, They Got Bigger Problems As Reyes Boys Come In For An Attack And What's Worse, Hobbs Isn't Too Far Behind...

(End At 2:56)

Reuniting With Mia And Brian, Dom Thinks It's Best If They All Split Up, But Mia Doesn't Want That Telling Them The Truth That She's Pregnant...

With Brian Happy At The News, Dom Agrees From Now On They Stick Together...

Searching Where Dom Was, Reyes Thinks That Something Doesn't Add Up But Hobbs Just Sees Them As Names On A List That Need To Be Taken Down Asking If His Men Have Anything, One Of Them Mentions That The Vehicle Belongs To Reyes. To Neves Says That If Anything Illegal Is Happening In Rio Then Reyes Is Involved Which Gets Hobbs Interested In Him...

Hiding At Someplace, Brian Talks To Dom While Mia Is Sleeping About Their Father...

With Dom Asking About Brian's Father He Tells Him That He Doesn't Remember Anything About Him Because He Was Never There. Telling Dom They Need To Get Out, Dom Says He Has A Plan On How They're Going To Do It And It Involves Reyes Chip, They're Going To Use It To Steal All Of Reyes Money And Then Disappear But Brian Points Out That In Order To Do This They're Going To Need A Team...

To Start First, They're Going To Need A Chameleon, Someone To Blend In Anywhere And For That They Choose Han, Second, They're Going To Need A Fast Talker Someone Who Can Talk Their Way Out Of Anything And For That They Get Brian's Old Friend, Roman Pierce, 3rd, They're Also Going To Need Someone Good At Circuits, So, Brian Brings In Tej Who Lost His Horrible Afro!

4, They're Going To Need Guys That Can Punch Through Walls For Which They Bring In Leo And Rico For Some Reason? 5, They're Going To Need Someone Good At Utilities And Weapons, Basically Someone Who's Not Afraid To Get Into A Fight For Which They Bring In Giselle And Lastly They Need 2 Precision Drivers Guys That Never Lose For Which They Choose Themselves...

No Offense, Guys We Know You're Going To Be On The Team No Matter What But You Couldn't Pick 2 Other Precision Drivers To Back You Up Maybe Leon Or Suki, Perhaps?

With Tej And Roman Being The First Ones To Arrive, It's Funny As Hell These Guys Are So Good Together To The Point I Wouldn't Mind Seeing Them Get Their Own Spin-Off Movie...

With Giselle Being The Next To Arrive, She's Less Than Nice...

Don't Make Me Kill You Like I Did Maxwell Lord!

Leo And Rico Are The Next To Arrive And They Talk In Spanish...

And With Han Being The Last Looks Like The Gang's All Here As Dom, Brian And Mia Enter To Fill Them In...

With All Of Them In, Han Makes A Point In Saying That One Cash House Is Robbed The Rest Will Be Moved Into One Area...

So, What Do They Do? They Attack One Of The Houses Where They Tie Everyone Up, Take Off Their Masks And Burn The Cash This Time As...

Meanwhile Hobbs Boys Fix The Car And Discover That They Took The Microchip For It While Also Hearing About An Armed Robbery On Reyes Corporations To Which Neves Knows Immediately That It Was Dom...

Telling Reyes That Dom And His Crew Burned The Money, Reyes Wants All Of His Money Under Lock And Key Within The Hour...

With Each Member At A Location They Follow It To One Location, Police Headquarters...

With The Mission Getting A Lot Harder, Dom Believes That This It Doesn't Change A Thing And They Should Stick To The Plan...

Meanwhile Hobbs Looks At Traffic Cams At The Time Of The Robbery And Zooms Into A 1970 Charger To See 2 People Wearing Ski Masks But Running It Through FRS To See That It's Dom...

That Night, Reyes Visits The Police Who Have His Money Under Lock And Key In A Safe, Asking About Dom And Brian They Say That They're Looking For Them But That's Not Apparently Enough As Reyes Decides To Place A Price On Their Heads So High That Every Eye In The City Will Be Looking For Them...

Back At Dom's HQ, Mia Shows Some Blueprints Of The Police Station She Got From Police HQ, But Unfortunately It Doesn't Say What Type Of Safe They're Using So, They Decide To Run A Stealth Mission To Find Out, Using Roman To Get Their Eyes In There...

With Tej Getting An RC Car With A Camera On It Out Of The Box That Roman Gave To The Police Officer That Kicked Him Out...

Seeing The Safe, Tej Knows Immediately That This One Is Going To Be Hard To Crack...

Then Leo And Rico Go In And Place An Explosive In The Toilet Pipes, EW! So, They Can Go In And Drill Into The Wall So They Can Set Up Connections To The Cameras At Police HQ To Their Laptop...

The Cameras Apparently Have Marker Optics With 100 Degree Field Of View That Oscilates Every 10 Seconds Which Means They're Going To Need Really Fast Cars To Do This...

With Everyone Building A Track, Dom And Brian Go Out To Grab Some Cars By Checking Out The Street Racing Scene By Talking To A Racer Who Thinks That Dom's Car Is A Worthy Trophy For Anyone To Have In His Garage Which Leads Him To Challenge Dom For Pink Slips And That's The Last Mistake That S.O.B. Will Ever Make...

With Brian Running The Car On The Track, The Camera's They Have Set Up Unfortunately Spots Him, So, They Decide To Get Different Cars With Different Drivers...

But All Of Them Are Seen!

Of Course They're Seen! No Car Can Truly Be Invisible Unless That Car Is Being Driven By James Bond!

Anyway, Han Gets A Copy Of The Exact Same Safe That Is In Police Headquarters Which Tej Is Going To Work On Cracking However, They're Forgetting About One Thing, The Handprint Scanner, Yep They're Going To Need Reyes Handprint In Order To Get This To Work, So, They Use Giselle And Han To Get It...

While Monitoring Reyes, Han Asks Giselle About Her Military History While She Bring Up How He Used To Be A Smoker...

Yeah, Guys This Is Great And All But Now's Not A Good Time To Be Playing The Dating Game, You Guys Should Be Monitoring Rey.....es.....

Returning With The Print, Tej Only Has One Question....

Please Answer It!

Thank You, Cher I Needed That...

While My Interest In Gal Gadot Blinded Me, The Entire Team Has Just Become Wanted Criminals By Hobbs As Brian Explains That He's The Guy The FBI Gets Whenever They Want Somebody...

With Han Asking Dom To Move Up Their Timeline, Dom Has An Idea Where They're All Confronted By Hobbs At A Street Race Where He Attempts To Arrest Them...

(Start At 0:14, End At 2:01)

With Hobbs Walking Off, Dom Gains A Win As Tej Plants A Tracker On Their Van....

With Neves Going Home For The Night, She Finds Dom In Her House Just To Get Letty's Necklace Back

Yeah, I Agree With Mrs. Hemsworth Here, Why Bother Coming Back For A Lousy Necklace?

It's Worth It? No Offense But That's BULL! Nothing Is Worth Getting Arrested Not Even Getting Back A Necklace That Belonged To Someone You Lost!

Telling Dom That He Should Run Because Hobbs Will Eventually Find Him However She's More Interested On Why He Stays When He Should Run Which Leads Him To Ask Her The Same Question Which Leads Neves To Talk About Her Dead Husband...

Realizing Dom Didn't Kill The Men On The Train, She Asks If Letty Was Special To Him? Which Leads Him To Say That He Never Thought That Anyone Could Understand How Much...

Back At Dom's HQ, Everyone Continues Testing Cars That Just Keep On Failing Because (As Han Points Out) The Window Of Time Is Just Too Small And The Only Way They'll Ever Do It Is If Their Cars Are Invisible Which Is (As I Pointed Out Earlier) Impossible...

However, Dom Says He Knows Just Where To Get The Cars...

All Right, I'll Bite, Where, Dom?

They Drive To Police Headquarters To Swipe A Few Police Cars...

So, With Dom, Brian, Roman And Han In Police Cars They Decide To Do A Small Race With The Winner Getting An Extra Million...

With Roman In The Lead, Dom Eventually Takes Over That Lead With The Race Being Anyone's Game But It's Brian That Wins The Race, However It's Implied By Roman And Han That Dom Let Him Win...

The Next Morning, Mia Goes To The Market Only To Be Grabbed By Vince Who Says That Reyes Men Are Tracking Her...

Telling Brian And Dom About This, All Is Forgiven And Vince Becomes A Member Of The Team Again...

Preparing Dinner, The Other Members Talk About What They're Going To Do With Their Share Of Reyes Money, And They Also Find Out About Mia's Pregnancy...

Ok, Tej That Joke Was Good Enough For Giselle But Don't Push It On Mia...

Which Leads Dom To Make A Toast...

The Next Day, The Plan Is Set To Go Underway, With Everyone Taking Off Except For Dom, Brian, Mia And Vince Who Will Join Them In A Few However, Hobbs And His Team Arrive At Their HQ To Try To Arrest Them Which Leads To A Fight Between Hobbs And Dom...

And How Do I Describe This Scene? Well, Imagine If The Confrontation From Les Miserables Was A Fist Fight...

Sparring Hobb's Life, He Arrests Dom, Brian, Mia And Vince...

(Watch Whole Video)

While Saving Hobbs And Neves, Vince Gets Badly Injured And Dies From His Wounds Making Him The Eponine Of This Movie, But Before He Does He Tells Dom That He Named His Son After Him...

With The Mission Still On, Everyone Thinks It's A Bad Idea And That The Best Option Is Running As It's Now A Suicide Mission And That They Tripled Their Detail At The Police Station But One Way Or Another, Dom Has No Intention Of Letting Reyes Get Away With This.

With Hobbs Siding By Dom, Because He Wants Revenge For The Death Of His Men Everyone Follows After That As They Ask What The Plan Is...

With The Cars Arriving At The Police Station, They Decide To Use The Element Of Surprise To Ram Their Way In...

With Hobbs And Neves Dealing With The Guards, Dom And Brian Grab The Safe Using Tow Cables To Pull It Right Out Of The Wall..

With Police Following Them, It's A Chase Through The City With The Safe Bouncing All Over The Place, I'm Surprised No One's Getting Flattened Like Wile E Coyote...

But I Will Say That They Do Do Some Interesting Driving Techniques While Hauling The Safe Like Using It To Crash 2 Police Cars, Dragging It Down An Alley With One Car Going Forward And The Other Driving Backwards

But Just As They're Surrounded By Cops Who Are Shooting At Them, Roman And Han Come To The Rescue In The Cop Cars They Stole...

With Them Reaching A Bridge, They Have Too Many Cops Behind Them, Dom Decides To Cut Brian Loose Stating That He's Going To Be A Father And That He Needs To Think About Mia And The Baby...

With Dom Pulling The Safe With All Of His Nos He Manages To Hit Car By Car With The Safe, Ejecting Out Of The Car When The Safe Hits One Of Reyes' Cars So That His Car Can Hit The Car With Reyes Inside.,.

But Surprisingly They're Still Alive, That Is Until Brian Shoots Reyes Main Man And Hobbs Kills Reyes...

Saying That They Can't Take The Safe With Them, Hobbs Is Willing To Let Them Have 24 Hours Before Their Car And Mouse Chase Continues...

Oh, Wait I Think I Know What Happens Next...

Hobbs Realizes That Dom's A Good Man, Which Forces Him To Question His Ideals To The Point Of Suicide, Right?

Well, There Are So Many Les Mis-isms In This Movie That I Wouldn't Be Surprised...

No, Hobbs Sadly Does Not Die (Otherwise How Would We Have A Spinoff In Theaters Now) No, Instead Turns Out The Safe Is Empty And They Have The Cash...

Well, Turns Out That When They Had A 10 Second Window They Had Giselle, Leo And Rico Switch The Safe With The Money With The Empty Safe They Had...

And So, With The Money In They're Hands (Once Tej Opens The Safe) They All Go Their Separate Ways, With Dom Giving Vince's Wife, Rosa A Cut Of The Money Along With A Note Saying See You Soon, Uncle Dom..

As For Everyone, Leo And Rico Play It Up In Monaco Where We Never See Them Again, Tej Opens Up A Legitimate Garage Buisness With Him And Roman Hanging Out Every Once In A While, Han Didn't Get Just The Money But Giselle As Well...

Eat Your Heart Out, Steve Trevor!

Yep, They're Dating And They're Headed Off To Berlin Until We See Them In The Next Movie But As For Dom, Brian And Mia They're Somewhere On A Beach (And Don't Ask Where Because Even I Don't Know) All I Can Say Is That Mia Is Glowing With Her Pregnancy, Dom Is Dating Neves To Which He Should Watch Out For Falling Thunder Gods With Hammers That Shoot Lightning And Brian Wants Another Shot At Beating Dom...

I Would Say This Ends Our Film But We Get A Mid Credit Scene Where Monica Fuentes (Played Again By Eva Mendes) Drops By Hobbs Office In Washington, As A Team Of Drivers Hijacked A Military Convoy But Hobbs Isn't Interested Unless It's Dom But With Fuentes Saying To Look Deeper, Hobbs Makes A Discovery...

(Start At 1:00, End At 1:04)

And That's Fast Five And It's Okay...

While Not As Good As The Last Film, This One Has It's Moments The Story While Boring At The Beginning Catches Up Around The Middle Of It, The Characters Except For The Bad Guy Are Good, The Cars Weren't Very Impressive But At This Point They Were Changing Their Status Quo From Being A Series Of Street Racing Films To A Series Of Heist Films, Sort Of Like Oceans 11 With Cars But Still, It's A Film Worth A Watch And I Say See It...

Till Next Time, This Is Duke, Signing Off...

[cutegirlmayra]

So you said you liked classic sonic and Amy yes? >:3 (also sorry if it looks odd I had trouble)

-Is this for a Prompt Trade? I love it, btw!

Prompt:

“Sonic! Sonic, wait up!”

Sonic frowned, not liking being stopped, but skidded to a halt as he folded his arms, tapping his toe for her to hurry up.

She came quickly up next to him, jumping and spinning before hunching over, and seeming out of breath, but still very excited.

“You stopped! Yay! ha…haa… H-hey… what’s with the face?”

“Emm…” he looked away a moment, “…How long are you going to follow me like this?”

The question took her off guard, before she happily nodded in a type of bow, as if getting ready to address the question and taking a some breaths in and out, before turning back to him.

“Why do you have to ask that?” She put her hands to her hips. “I’ll tell you how long! As if there even is a way to count priceless time together!” She wrapped her arm around his and shot the other straight up.

“I’ll follow you, to the sky and back. Love you, to the moon, and chase you all around Saturn’s rings! The Universe, has no verse, that could ever compare! to how I feel about your blue spiky hair-ow!” She started singing, lightly and cutely poking his quill as he looked away, realizing she was going to be over-dramatic about his simple question.

She ran around to his other side, kicking her legs up with the beat. “I’ll sing, goodnight and good morning. I’ll be happy, right by your side! Hey! Here’s a tune, to the moon, cause I love you~ Chasing you~ I’ll beee~ Following you! Straight into my dreams~ Sonic and Amy~”

She hugged him lastly, when she appeared done, as he tried to hide his red cheeks and brush her off, before pulling a hand behind his head and looking away.

“Are girls always this-”

“Romantic? Musical? Spontangous! hehehehe~” she giggled, rushing around him again in circles.

He followed her movements with his eyes before seeming awkwardly creeped out and shook his head with his hands out in front of him, “No, no! Not that! Just… weird.” he made a face, but there was some form of curious fondness in his expression as he saw her return to him and happily tackle into him once again.

“Pfft. Heh… oh, well.” he shrugged to the camera, giving up.

(Here’s the song! (x) )
