#.....basically everything actually i think?

Hey, I know it can be frustrating or even embarrassing to recognize you don't know stuff, even if it seems basic. But you know what? That's fine! It's great that you are aware of not knowing stuff. Nobody is born knowing everything, that's why kids get in that phase in the first place.
So here are some phrases for when you don't know the answers:
I don't know, why do you think [same question]?
That's interesting, let's go find out why.
I don't know, can you tell me when you learn the answer?
[Insert an answer so wild that the kid will think you are now playing and they'll forget the question]
Some times kids don't ask all those questions to actually find the answers. Some times they ask to engage with others, to see if they can find something in common, a shared interest.
So just be open to learn and be curious like a kid ;)

If I say that I'm not used to people misinterpreting my favorite characters, I'd be lying. But the way they get so many things wrong about Inho's character is kinda pissing me off because you KNOW that most of them do it to cancel out the possibility of InHun being *something* more than what's shown so far. You don't ship them, that's fair, frankly I don't care. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion UNTIL your opinion is wrong.
Let's talk about a couple of things I've seen being talked about on tiktok (đ)
âInho joined the games because ilnam said that it'd basically be more fun to play than to watch so he followed his example." loud incorrect buzzer ! Inho has joined the games before, and not only that, he's also a previous winner, so therefore he's very much aware of what it's like to be a part of it, he's experienced them first hand, just like he's experienced the atrocities of it. they've changed him for the worst and possibly caused him a huge trauma âthey're the reason he's lost faith in humanity after allâ so, why would he crave to relive it just for the thrill of it? i, personally doubt he even enjoys watching the game.
âInho didn't look at Gihun with love, he likes to watch him sufferâ Short answer is no. He doesn't like to watch him suffer, neither he looked at him with love, not the pure kind of love at least. Two things can be true at once. Inho spent half the season staring at Gihun because everything about the man intrigued him; His determination, his stubbornness, his kindness, his hope, his heart that's full of love despite the pain he suffered, even the pain in his eyes every time someone got eliminated in front of him as if it was the first time it had happened, as if the cruelty of it all surprised him every damn time. How can someone, who's been through the same things Inho has been through, be the polar opposite of him?
now, the reason(s) that I think Inho actually joined the games for..
(yes I am an Inhun shipper, does that make my opinion a little biased? maybe. do i still believe I'm right? absofuckinglutely.)
Let me clarify this: Inho is NOT a good man, no matter the redemption arc he might get in s3, he'll continue to be a terrible person because nothing will ever erase the blood he's spilled and the evil men he's worked for. BUT at the same time, he's not ALL bad, not like the VIPS and ilnam. See, Inhun are the average "yin-yang" trope in fictional romance, (which I eat up every time and I find it very interesting when it's done the right way, don't get me wrong) Inho is bad but there's some goodness somewhere deep inside him. And the only person who's brought it to the surface is Gihun. Sure, he does think Gihun is naive, but he's also the only person who's actually challenged him, who's "forced" him to get his stupid head out of the dirt and look around him, even for a short while and Inho definitely liked what he saw. Honestly, it wasn't even that hard for Gihun to do so because the goodness in Inho wanted and waited for someone to pull him out of the dirt, he wished for someone, something to give him hope for humanity or.. anything. Anything that'll help him escape from his misery.
You can definitely argue that he joined the games to befriend Gihun, to gain his trust and stop his plans when the time comes, which is half true. But keep in mind that he needed to justify his choice to join the games. He's not a VIP nor the mastermind to simply get to do that without consequences. He's the frontman, the one who controls and manages everything. He's needed for the games to work and go by smoothly and successfully without unnecessary losses and problems. Gihun would only cause problems, Inho knew that very well and yet he chose to put him in it once again. He recklessly made that choice, risking pretty much everything because of his inner conflict. A part of him wanted Gihun to prove himself to him, that there's indeed good that'll save the world and the rest of him wanted to prove to Gihun that everything he so strongly believes in is merely a fantasy.
Joining the games and befriending Gihun was the only way for Inho to see the real him, without the heroic mask he puts on every time he faces the frontman. I think he believed that someone as extraordinary as Gihun will either break in front of him and he will end up disappointed by the human kind once again, or Gihun will change everything about the way he thinks for the better. But the problem is that Inho hopes for both of those things at the same time.
And that was Inho's arc in season 2. His inner conflict and how it will affect him, the game and Gihun later on.
#i hope this makes sense#english is not my first language so i apologize for any grammatic errors#anyway I'd love to hear your thoughts as well just be nice#inhun#squid game#squid game 2#457#player 456#player 001#frontman#hwang in ho#gihun x inho#in ho x gi hun

IN WHICH; you and kaiser get into an argument over a stupid reason which leads into a hard launch after his match.
a/n: do NAWT speak to me about how unrealistic the last scenes are. i KNOWW how crazy fans can be and theyâd probably be mauling/trampling you guys to deathđ also say no to telling me to put my ear to your mouth and listen what you have to say (kaz refâŚ) only to tell me this is ooc leave me alone pls. & not proofread lolz
cw: swearing, arguments -> making up, my writing
âi could stay for tonight.â
it was sickening coming from your tongue because kaiser knew he didnât want you only for tonight. heâs coming close to crushing you with how hard heâs squeezing your body like he never wants you to leave.
âjust for tonight?â is a question he poses. the air around you two remains silent and it angers himâare you thinking about an answer? for there is no other answer than accepting defeat and staying in his arms, forever.
you try squirming around to wiggle your way out of his hold because it was getting warmer than youâd like it to be. âyes, micha. just for tonight.â you start whining at this point but he does not budge no matter how hard you try. heâs only growing more irritated by your response paired up with the nickname you call him to be affectionate.
affectionate his assâyouâre basically admitting you hate him. as much as he loves being seen as an enemy in othersâ eyes, he hates when you perceive him in such a manner. âdonât call me micha.â his huffing out and you can feel the vibrations in his chest
âokay mr. football prodigy.â your tease is muffled by his chest. in most situations, heâd take it as a compliment to feed his ego but he knows youâre deliberately trying to egg him on. and though he currently canât see your face because of the position you guys are in, he swears he can feel your eyes rolling at him.
âi still have a life⌠and a job.â now itâs your turn to get fed up by his behavior. âam i not your life?â heâs sounding like you genuinely just offended his whole bloodline and hell, maybe even very distant ancestors. you want to say heâs joking but judging by experience, he most certainly isnât.
one thing you understood when you first started dating him was that he would not give up his career for you and using the same logic, you didnât have to either. now can some mind reader tell you why this is happening? why is he being so stubborn about this in particular? not like kaiser isnât dramatic or stubborn most of the time but heâs never been this stubborn over a matter like this.
âmichael thatâs not⌠i justâi canât just give everything up for you.â oh, now youâre calling him by his full first name? perhaps that wasnât the best way to word it because you feel grip shifting to the back of your head to keep it in place, he does this because he doesnât want you seeing his face. âwhy not?â he barks a lot quieter than he normally does.
âwhat do you mean by âwhy notâ? this has been my life, even before i met you.â you try holding in the scoff that you were trying so hard to avoid but itâs obvious now.
as if it wasnât already tense but it feels like it bloomed into a raging silence. you believe heâs thinking of an answer but in reality, he isnât. heâs thinking about anything else other than him opening his mouth because only the heavens know what words would spew out of his mouth if he were toâimagine how worse heâd make this petty argument.
you hate this.
you hate silence.
you hate him being silent.
and you make the dumb decision to add salt to the injuryâthe one thing kaiser didnât want to do. âdo you actually want to argue about this? if so, iâm not staying at all.â there you go, saying things you donât actually mean. âdo you mean that?â oh he actually responded. you did try to choose your words carefully but your mouth moves faster than your thoughts.
âand if i did?â youâre lying through your teeth, but he takes the bait.
that was what unlocked his vile mouth that should be censored on television after losing a match. âyou really are annoying, you know that? i hope you didnât because i didnât know that either when i started liking you. or were you just leading me on? i donât care if you arenât staying anymore. just fucking leave.â heâs lacing his words with cyanide.
heâs second guessing his thoughts of wanting you to stay forever if you were just going to be acting like that. his grip on you is finally loosening and itâs easier to slide right past his arms. you take the chance and peak at his face. it wasnât the look you want to see on him normally but it is justified in this situation. he has a scowl on his face but he still looks so pretty like this. heâs looking at you too, albeit not with the admiration youâre doing.
it isnât the best idea to stay silent and so you donât.
âfine then.â you say while walking away from him to head towards the entrance and like expected, he doesnât follow you. you take the bag from the front-door rack and slip on the shoes he gifted you.
you spare no time opening the door, not even glancing back when you shut the door as well. kaiser is the one looking, glaring at the back of your head before you disappear behind his door. after he knows youâre off completely, he goes over to lock it shut but also ends up smelling the slight scent of your perfume floating in the air.
looks like you wonât be staying tonight anymore. and now that this happened, will you ever? did he want you to?
this argument could have been so minor if both of you had just sucked it up.
were you still together? it didnât end in clear closure, just him telling you to leave and you did.
did you still want this? did he still want this?
in all honesty, he just wants you. no matter what form, no matter what, he still wants to say he knows you. it didnât have to be this way.
safe to say neither of you had good sleep that night.
kaiser has many ways to express his aggression. be it words, physical contact (past), or what heâs doing right nowâfootball. he hasnât contacted you ever since that day and you havenât either. makes him question what he still is to you.
why does he care? if you donât want to talk to him, neither do you. if you hate him, he hates you.
however, whenever he does take his anger out of the field, he dominates it. effectively becoming the king of the field. from the get-go it was obvious bastard munchen would win the match against some other team they were playing against.
you could tell too, setting aside the fact you were sitting pretty far from the game. what made you want to watch the match even if you thought he was probably your ex already? you didnât know. itâs like you just gravitate towards the stupid rat tails man, heâs an annoying magnet to you now.
and like everyone betted on, bastard munchen did win.
the team immediately celebrates by huddling together, slapping each-others hands, carrying each-other, and what not? you unconsciously smile at the scene, it was small, you could still feel it but you couldnât help it.
kaiser is celebrating with his team, being somehow lifted on-top of nessâ shoulders (which he is really annoyed at and heâs wondering how the fuck heâs doing that, what is wrong with him?). he ultimately scored the last goal they needed to win. it wasnât a surprise because when he plays, he wants toâneeds toâwin.
despite that, his teammates couldnât help but realize his anger, leading to yoichi asking him a question that makes kaiser want to choke the black-haired man on the spot.
âthe hell was that?â he asks (referring the stupidly impossible goal kaiser was able to score, but you know⌠he doesnât believe anything is impossible.) âi have a question for you too, yoichi. what the hell is that kind of question?â heâs laughing out, still on nessâ shoulders. but heâs laughing so hard his whole body starts to shake, making ness stumble a little.
still, yoichi was able to tell something was off.
âuh⌠whatâs gotten your panties in a twist?â
but before kaiser could answer that with going off on him, heâs being pulled into an interview.
what made that goal possible?
âit was never impossible.â
what do you feel after winning?
âas if we werenât going to win.â
boring questions he didnât want to answer but he was obligated toâfor he was basically the star of the show, like always. that was until a certain question was asked that made him look around the stadium for the first time.
that was quite an impressive goal.
âof course.â
is there anyone you wanted to watch that shot?
heâs silent. heâs thinking of you as he gazes around the bleachersâembarrassingly thinking everyone has your face and accidentally making eye contact with crazy fans that go berserk when he does. the only reason he never looked before and during the match was because you wouldnât be there.
what a desperate reason, right? row after row, heâs scanning every seat, even the ones that are empty and imagining youâre the one sitting in it. 3rd to the top row, he scanning and not expecting to see you.
the fuck? is that you?
is he looking at you? kaiser is looking in your direction and in the area youâre seated but youâre so high up you canât tell and itâs very unlikely he is but he keeps staring. youâre awkwardly looking away and around your section to hide your face.
oh but heâs already gotten a look of the face he so desperately wanted to see and heâs not going to look away, nor will he stand in one place. like a lunatic who just escaped some mental hospital, heâs booking it from the interviewer who stands shocked.
oh ok... he totally saw you which defeats the total point of you sitting so far away, was he lying to you when he said his eyesight wasnât the best? probably. anyway, that was your sign to also walk away.
screams of fans were deafening and you felt like your eardrums were going to burst anyway.
who cursed you? because it was such a coincidence that kaiser comes out the way you were going to exit. he didnât count how many fans who were asking all sorts of things he ran past to get to you.
as soon as you saw his face, you tried playing it off cool and spun the other way to walk away but he was by no means dumb and he saw you do that. he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
it felt like when you ask your friends to chase you and they actually do and now youâre screaming your lungs out trying to outrun them. obviously it was futile because he was so much faster than you.
no words could explain how fucking loud the crowd was, first when he ran, second when he entered the spectator area, last (hopefully) when he hugged you tightly from behind, stopping you from running.
like that night, he was warmer than youâd like him to be. arms wrapped around your waist and his chin on your shoulder. âare you running away again?â heâs whispering into your ear and despite the crowd + the booming voices around you⌠++ the paparazzi basically stomping on people to get a photo, heâs unbelievably close to your ear, you have no trouble in hearing him.
âkaiser.â you breathe out in the same shock the interviewer was probably in. âdonât call me that. answer my question.â he huffsâhe hasnât heard you call him that in for like⌠forever! (unless you count other arguments)
âshould i want to run away?â
âi donât want you to.â
the grip is getting tighter and it slightly stops you from breathing for a second. you donât want to run away, you donât hate him.
you were thinking the same as him, whether or whether not he still considered you his. but you know his ego is way too high for his own good so you do him a favor and ask him instead.
âare we still something?â you ask and it hurts him that you doâdid you not think that anymore? his eye is twitching with uncertain emotions. ââŚtell me your answer first.â thereâs hurt evident in his voice because he doesnât want to jump into conclusions and hurt his ego even more than he already has fighting for his way to get to you.
âi donât know, are we?â heâd flick your forehead with full power if he wasnât trying to make up with you. itâs barely audible but you hear âi still want this.â a frown is on your face and he took it as a bad sign.
âi do too, micha.â you admit, heâs spiraling by how you say his name.
as much as he wants to say that he did want you to stay with him forever, that he didnât want you to leave him, that he doesnât actually find you annoying, that he loves you. he decides on doing only the second and last option because heâs kept himself, you, and the fans waiting far too long.
(you also wanted to say you didnât mean it.)
heâs spinning you around to face him.
âdonât leave me, ever.â
he holds your hands in his, leaning forward to kiss you.
and though you guys still have so much to apologize, discuss, and everything in between⌠you both would rather leave that for a private matter. just stay in this moment, in his arms for now? if not forever.
oh and now you hoped this was the last time the crowd got as rowdy as it was.

SFW and NSFW
warnin: alcohol, weed, adventure, sex (first sex too) and romance
author notes: I am writing for the first time smut.. I want to write something like this with many more characters obx, next one might be rafe (idk)
Ëâ¡ ÍÍÍÍâłâĽ SFW
get ready for this naughty blonde diva to come to your house almost every day, at first you thought he just had nothing to do but over time you realized that your house is a new refuge for him, where he can relax and be away from his tyrant father
he is quite clingy to you (only you) jj will hug you almost constantly or especially kiss you. if you both have to be separated, he will grab you by the waist with his strong muscular arm and pull you in for a gentle passionate kiss. before the relationship, he would touch you often and try to touch you subtly to feel your skin.
we all know that jj is also a bit of a wild guy, and he might make bold and spontaneous decisions and you constantly dissuade him from his "brilliant ideas" and advise him to think logically together. but it would be better for you to make a decision yourself, and jj would help you implement it
lets you braid and style his hair when his head is on your lap or stomach, youâll do little tiny braids or buns all over his head and heâll love the giggles it brings out of you.
I think he's one of those guys who will sing some stupid songs he made up on the fly if you get offended by him. you start laughing at those moments, and you just shut him up, saying you forgave him, just so you doesn't have to listen anymore.
he's the kind of boyfriend who would go to great lengths to make you happy and will always be there for you when you need him. just be ready for a lot of playful banter and sarcastic remarks, this is just another display of affection from jj
Ëâ¡ ÍÍÍÍâłâĽ NSFW
lots of quick rounds, this blond guy is constantly horny and needs sex urgently. he often gets horny at the wrong time and can take you away right in the middle of a conversation with friends without embarrassment
he likes it when you just turn into a puddle and can't say anything
he drives you crazy in bed, jj is just unrelenting. he needs to fill you with his cum at least 3 times. and he also loves when you hold on to his chest. he basically likes your touching his chest
you both remember your first time having sex very well. it was at your place, you were sweating and your pussy was on jj's thigh when you first saw his dick. and the guy often reminds you of it, teasing you and making you embarrassed
actually he comes to your house not only to hide from the world but also to have a good night with you. you are always afraid if your parents find out about it, your father often checks on you at night and once you almost got caught but everything worked out
will stimulate your sweet spot very strongly using your fingers, mouth and tongue. jj pulls you back in by your ankles when you try to squirm away from him, whining that you're too sensitive, you can't take anymore. it's too much
even during the solstice festival he somehow ended up having sex with you. he found you in the great hall after he escaped from rafe and you locked you in the closet. he showered you with kisses and told you how beautiful you were in the dress you wore for the festival. it was only because of you that rafe lost him and after that you and your group of friends left. and jj got to enjoy you and his favorite sweet spot.
asks you to sit on his face so he can eat your pussy!
jj intertwines your fingers together while you're riding his face cause he like that, murmuring how much he loves you, how perfect you are, how you're such a good girl for him. he also loves to squeeze your breasts and nipples in this position and naturally drive you crazy
- jj is the kind of person that will be hard to just start dating. In order to date him, you need to gain his complete trust in you. he is very protective and devoted, but all this can also quickly disappear. even if you date him, you will date him for a maximum of a week and blonde guy will dump you and you will be another girl for his own entertainment

Baby - Choi Seung Hyun/T.O.P x reader Part 3 Smut
Summary: After months of being together, everytime you sleep together it feels just like the first time still, but Seung Hyun throws a twist in this time
Warnings: Smut, lots of smut
Seven and a half months, that's how long it had been since Seong Hyun asked you to be his girlfriend, and while you were both reserved in public, you didn't hold back in the bedroom, as more time passed though, the more you learned about your lover, that in reality, the big ego, cocky, outgoing Seung Hyun was just for show, in reality, your boyfriend was basically a big teddy bear, one of the first males you met that was actually in touch with his feelings and fears, and wasn't afraid to admit it. He was your everything at the moment, you both came dependent on each other while still keeping to your independent natures, you could go days without seeing each other, but neither of you would really sleep well or truly relax until you were together again.
"Seung hyun" You whined, desperately trying to wake him up, it was a Saturday, meaning you both had the day free of any responsibilities, and while you had planned a day with your boyfriend, it seemed he had other plans of sleeping all morning. You couldn't lie though, he looked adorable laying curled up under his fluffy comforter, not to mention relaxed and peaceful, sighing you just climbed out of bed in defeat "Fine, I'll be back at noon" You threatened kissing his forehead gently, he just turned away tiredly, pulling the stuffed animal he had used as a pillow with him. You rolled your eyes giggling to yourself as you made your way out of the room looking around for anybody who was awake. "Bo-mi!" You heard the boys shouting in chorus, you just raised your eyebrows at them in confusion "Oh! y/n! We thought you were Seung hyun" Dae-Sung apologized sheepishly, blushing softly "You're fine, you guys are pretty too" You offered with a smile before making your way to the kitchen to get your morning (coffee or tea, just your choice of morning drink). Walking back with the mug, you sat next to Ji-yong glancing at the game they were playing on the tv.
You ended up playing with them for a good two hours before you all just ended up talking, it started out sweet, them complimenting you on how much you've changed Seung Hyun to where he's been a little more outgoing with things, you complimenting them on how hard they've been working lately, until they started interrogating you. "We never you see you anymore!" Ji-yong groaned "Seung Hyun stole you!" Dae-sung added, you laughed loudly hiding your face in your blanket you had wrapped around your body "He's my boyfriend!" You giggled loudly before looking towards him again "We miss you!" Tae-yung agreed crossing his arms "I miss you guys! But I practically live here! I'm right down the hall" You giggled, you could feel your face heating up as they continued "Don't think we can't hear what's happening in there! Oooo Seung hyun!" Ji-Yong teased mocking your words from the other night, whenever you thought you both were alone.
You squealed hiding your face again "Leave me alone! We're literally together! and adults!" You argued giggling loudly before looking to them "You all wouldn't understand, you're children" You giggled, they gasped at your comment before jumping and screaming out whenever they heard your boyfriend cough from the hallway "If I remember right it was, yesss, seung hyun" He stated making his way tiredly to you "You said you'd be back at noon" He frowned, you smiled at him, trying to hide the fact you were extremely flustered by the others knowledge of what exactly you sound like during sex. "Sorry, the boys are upset they don't see me as much" You giggled, Seung Hyun taking his rightful spot next to you on the couch, wrapping his arms around you tightly "They live with you?" He questioned before catching on laughing "Oh my!...you know..you guys are more than welcome to invite her to game or hangout, you just don't" He chuckled, you agreed, resting your head on his shoulder, only now realizing he had no shirt on, Not wanting to put him on the spot about his new found confidence you just smiled even wider hugging him "Not whenever you steal her!" Dae-sung whined, Seung Hyun just smirked "What you mean like this?" He asked before scooping you up with ease rushing to your bedroom, you screamed holding onto him tightly, not liking the fact he was running around corners with you in his arms.
As you got back into your room he smirked at you "Oh god, what do you want, my love?" You asked resting your hands on the base of his neck, admiring his eyes as he slowly lowered you down to your feet "You look really good in my clothes" He whispered stepping closer to you "You look really good with no shirt" You complimented, your words brought a bright pink hue to his cheeks as he blushed "You had my shirt" He protested shyly, you just shook your head giggling kissing him softly, Seung Hyun had other thoughts, taking the back of your neck in his hand as he pressed his lips against yours needier and rougher than you did. You just placed your hands in his hair, his other arm going around your waist to pull you closer to him if possible. "What has gotten into you?" You teased as he pushed you down onto the bed "You have changed me" He growled against your neck, you tilted your head to the side allowing him more access as he continued "I feel..more myself with you, you let me live my life while still being a big part of it, you know just what to say, you're perfect" He whispered, you just now realizing his lips were pressed against your jaw "You're so sweet, but I didn't change anything, you did that, Seung Hyun" You smiled, moaning softly whenever he started to leave a trail of hickeys across your neck "See? Just what to say" He smirked against your skin, before pulling away to make eye contact with you "I love you" He said, causing you to stare at him in shock, you watched the emotions run over his face "I love you too" You finally found yourself saying looking into his dark eyes, his smirk returned before you pressed your lips to his.
Gasping as Seung Hyun lined himself up with your entrance, you glanced up to look at him, his eyes were trained between the two of you, more concerned about getting everything right so he didn't hurt you. You slowly raised a hand to his cheek, tilting his head slightly to look at you "You're okay" You smiled, nodding a bit before leaning up kissing him deeply, Seung Hyun took that as his sign to ahead, pushing his dick fully in, bottoming out before he brought his hands to your face, cupping his cheeks as he kissed you deeply.
It didn't matter how many times you guys fucked each other, it would always take you both by surprise, Seung Hyun groaned quietly panting against your lips as he slowly started thrust his hips, You weren't doing much better to compose yourself, running your nails down his back and chest, trying your best to stifle your moans so your eavesdropping roommates wouldn't hear. "gongjunim, baby, easy" He groaned against your lips, it wasn't that it hurt him, he just didn't want to cum this early, not only would it be embarrassing, but he also wanted to savor the feeling before he had a whole new week of writing and recording. You turned your hands from his back to his hands, which he quickly used the advantage to pin them above your head, interlacing your fingers together as the speed of his hips thrusting increased, you whimpered loudly wrapping your legs around his hips, his hand finding it's way to your clit, rubbing a mixture of circles and figure eights against it, pulling away from your lips, he leaned back, getting a full view of you underneath him.
Feeling conscious of everything on your body settled over you as you noticed Seung Hyun's staring, you bit your lip, looking away from his gaze "Baby..look at me" He whispered, resting his free hand on your stomach as his thrusts slowed, whimpering as his dick basically slammed in and out of you. Slowly you looked over to meet his gaze "You're breathtaking my love, just like the most beautiful waterfalls, the most expelling art piece, just like the beauty of true unfiltered pure art, and it's all mine" He whispered, you wanted to giggle, even as he basically taking away your ability to properly walk for the next day, he still finds a way to be as charming as possible. "I love you Seung Hyun" You giggled, pulling him closer to press your lips against his hungrily, between his fingers on your clit and him inside of you, you were desperate to cum, but his speed was like a constantly tease, bringing you to the edge before ripping it away. "Fucking Please Seung Hyun" You moaned, growing frustrated with his teasing antics you threw your head back "Huh?" He teased, smirking, you rolled your eyes, of course, you had done it once before, as a joke, and of course he wanted you to do it again. "I'm not doing that" You giggled "Please just actually fuck me, baby" You asked, purposely pitching your voice lower with a slight seductive tone, Seung Hyun squeezed your hip tightly, not liking the reaction his body had to your voice. He just persisted, only now his lips were attached to your nipple, swirling his tongue to match the movements of his fingers on your clit, you whined loudly, cheeks growing hot with a blush, of course he had to think one of your cringiest jokes was hot.
"Please fuck me, Top, I swear I know all the words to your songs, you're so fucking hot- God damnit please!" You whined, your tone going from annoyed to just frustrated, he just seemed to find enjoyment in your neediness and frustration. "I guess" He smirked against your skin, pulling his lips off with a pop, replacing them with his hand that wasn't between your legs. "Just remember, whenever your legs hurt later, you wanted it this badly" He teased before moving his hips at a pace you swear you had never felt before, you couldn't stop the moan that was pulled from your lips as you arched your back, his fingers increasing their speed on your clit as well. You ran your hands down his back, feeling it arch under your touch, you whimpered as he groaned against your collarbone, trying to stay mindful of the headboard not smacking against the wall.
As you got closer to your orgasm you felt Seung Hyun move your legs slightly higher on his waist, his hand going right back to your nipples after words "I'm not cumming until you do, Gongjunim" He grunted, you just squeezed his shoulders tightly in reply, knowing if he kept up with the abuse on your clit you'd definitely fall apart soon. Before Seung Hyun could say anything else you pulled his lips to yours, desperate to try and muffle your moans any ways you could, your legs squeezing tightly around his waist as your pussy squeezing his cock even tighter if possible. Seung Hyun moaned himself for the first time with you, tilting his head down as he dropped to his elbow propping him up "That's it baby, use me for anything you need" He whispered leaving a final hickey right above your left nipple, you whimpered loudly as you came around him, Seung Hyun waited a moment to catch his breath before grabbing your hips, groaning, still in love with the fact your hips fit perfectly in his hands. You bit your lip looking up at him, this time as he looked between the two of you, he had a different look in his eyes, he bit his lip as he started his pace again, this time alot more sloppy, he felt like he was about to explode, somehow harder than he had been in months, and the way you felt around him wasn't helping the situation, the closer he got to cumming, the worse it got. Noticing his pace starting to falter, you placed a hand on his chest pushing slightly to roll the both of you, positioning yourself to straddle him, you started to roll your hips against his. His grip on your hips tightened as his head fell back "Fuck, please don't stop, baby" He begged, his tone pitched slightly higher "Why would I stop, my love? You look fucking amazing like this" You asked pressing soft butterfly kisses down his jawline and neck, leaving hickeys as soon as you got to his collarbone, knowing that they needed to be hidden in order for him not to be in trouble.
Seung Hyun never realized how hot it'd be to have you on top, especially while having you try to boost his confidence, but here you were and he'd be lying if he said it didn't make his cock even harder if possible. "Fuck! Fuck! Baby I'm so close" He groaned sitting up to bring your lips to his for a very sloppy kiss, a mixture of tongue and teeth connecting as you copied your previous movement, squealing as he dug his nails into your hips, holding them where they were, his hips lifting up to meet yours as he started to cum, you kissed him deeper as you felt the warm liquid spill into you. After a few minutes, Seung Hyun slowly shifted to lay you onto the bed and pull out of you, much to your dismay, you let him, not without giving him one last short kiss. "I swear..everytime is like the first time" He panted as he hid his face in the curve of your neck, you trailed your nails over the back of his hairline and down his neck, feeling him slowly catch his breath, you couldn't shake the thought you had the entire time Seung Hyun said I love you. "Baby?..are you okay?" His deep voice pulled you from your thoughts "I'm amazing..trust me..but..did you mean what you said?.." You asked nervously, now twisting his messy hair in-between your fingers "That I love you?" He asked, almost like he could read your mind, you just hummed in agreement "Of course I meant it, I wouldn't ever say something to you that I don't mean" He said, leaning away to be able to look you in the eyes "I love you, Y/n, You make me feel like a good..happy person" He smiled softly, pressing a gently kiss to your forehead "I love you too, then" You smiled, before starting to sit up "Shower with me?" You offered, he just smirked standing up offering his hand out to you, taking a moment to admire how truly amazing he looked naked. "Oh Y/nnn.." He called out in a teasing tone "You like?" He smirked turning to face you to pull you up out of bed "I very very much like, sir" You replied, placing your hands on his chest as you walked him backwards into the bathroom.

Need more fics where Lucifer is a straight up asshole. No one does his assholery justice. Like, he calls Charlie's friends "a bunch of losers." Basically goes on a taunting "I'm right you're wrong" rant on Charlie while her hotel is LITERALLY crumbling around her. When he first shows up, he COMPLETELY ignores the rest of the hotel greeting him and just walks by them to look around and give everything extremely judging looks. He treats them like they're not even there, until Alastor forces him to shift his attention towards him.
There is not a single doubt in my mind that this man is a privileged asshole. He's not the kind of guy who's nice or understanding towards a waiter who's struggling. He's definitely not the kind of person who says "thank you" often.
I think the only people who ever write Lucifer as a dick are people who genuinely HATE Lucifer, and I don't read their fics either because they always go too far with it and depict him as an actual monster, which is... not what I want either.
I just really want a fic where Lucifer actually starts off acting like the dick he is in canon, and then slowly starts to realize how much of a jerk he is as he gets to know the rest of the hotel. Like, him coming to understand that these people have layers to them, and don't really fit into this mold of what he believes sinners to all be like. They're multi-faceted individuals who are capable of and willing to show genuine care and kindness to one another.
Added to this, I really want a fic where like. The rest of the hotel actually outright don't like Lucifer BECAUSE of his entitled attitude. And Lucifer has to get hit in the face with the fact that he's the one at fault here for the way they act towards him. For example; No, Husk is not going to have friendly small talk with you, Lucifer, you literally only ever call him "bartender" and can't be bothered to learn his name.
#hazbin hotel#lucifer morningstar#I just want Lucifer to ACTUALLY be written as The Sin of Pride#and that pride gets in the way of him making connections with Charlie's found family#because it means he acts like an entitled prick who thinks he always knows better#Need him to realize he DOESN'T know better and for that realization to hit him like a fucking bus

alright, we're on the third and FINAL part of me picking the boat scene to bits. you can find part one here and part two here
where we last left off, kant was going towards jumping in the water but he stopped and then we get this question from bison.
and the thing that gives me chills about this moment, aside from the absolute terror and pain on kant's face, is how softly bison asks this. almost like it's a genuine question. like he's offering help because kant is in a tough spot. but it's not a genuine question because he's trying to help - it's a threat. he's telling kant if he doesn't jump, bison will push him.
however, it's also quite an interesting question when you think about it in the context of love and their relationship. i talked a little bit about the setting choice in comparison to the fadel and style confrontation scene already, but lauren @sunsetsover once again had some wonderful additions which you can find here. basically, the difference in locations represents a lot of things, like openness and their intentions, but it also has to do with wants. bison wants love, has always wanted love, and he wants kant to prove to him that it wasn't all fake - even if right now he believes it was. so the question of if you want to jump or fall, it can also go back to how this all started for kant. he fell for bison, against every one of his intentions and instincts, he fell for him anyways. no matter how much he fought it, no matter how much he tried to stop it, he couldn't stop himself from falling for bison. but now, in a way, he's getting a chance to actually choose it. he's getting a chance to jump into love, to let himself die and prove to bison he did love him.
and he's going to, god he wants to do this one final thing for him, but he looks at the water and all he sees is himself, drowning as a child, crying out for his parents. and you can SEE IT in the last screenshot, you can see that kant is not THERE, he's not looking at the water in front of him, he's seeing the water from when he was a child and was drowning and it's HEARTBREAKING. you have to watch the scene yourself again and look at the sheer terror and heartbreak on his face in those few seconds because got it's just. it's so painful.
but bison doesn't know, or he doesn't care, and he wants kant to jump, so he yells at him, he shouts at him to do it. he's so angry and hurt and he needs to see kant do this.
so kant goes again, but he hesitates again and he looks at bison, like he's begging for him to change his mind. but it only takes a second for him to know, to realize he won't. that he will have to do this. that doesn't have any other choice. that this is the only way to prove himself and to try and make it up to bison, if he even can.
there's a moment of silent communication where bison nods his head towards the water to once again force kant to jump in.
so kant braces himself, pulls every ounce of courage he has left in him, and he climbs up, bison still yelling at him, and he jumps.
i'm gonna link you to a giftset the last few moments of the scene here that jay @kantpattanawat made because i think everything with bison in it is MUCH BETTER seen in motion and i also don't wanna run out of image space again sdkjsfdf
but kant jumps. terrified out of his mind, he jumps. for bison, for himself, because he thinks he deserves it, because he doesn't think he can save himself anyways. because at least this way he can show bison he chooses him. that he does love him. because bison threw his heart into the ocean and kant is going to sink to the bottom with it.
but bison didn't actually think he would. you can even see it on his face, right before kant jumps, that he's questioning if he actually will. and when he does, you can see the panic in his body language because holy shit kant actually jumped. and he shouts after him, like he's an idiot for it, and maybe kant is! but he did it for bison didn't he? because bison asked? and isn't that what bison's always wanted? someone that loves him enough to choose him, to listen to him?
so bison will jump in and he'll still make kant prove himself again, but i think this is the moment bison really forgives him. this is the moment he realizes kant was serious back in the hospital. that maybe it wasn't all lies. this is the moment their love story can really start.
#i'm done finally. jesus christ i need to shut the fuck up actually#the heart killers#kantbison#my analysis#mine

also, when in doubt go to the library and look at a book. There are tons of great manuals for all kinds of skills.
Basically the only 2 cookbooks i use are Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything and The Joy of Cooking, both of which have a ton of basic techniques and info about how to actually COOK, not just lists of recipes. I probably use the Bittman one way more but they're both good. I think there's a vegetarian specific version of How to Cook Everything too but the majority of the non-vegetarian one is devoted to vegetables, grains, noodles, and bread anyway.
Homemaking, gardening, and self-sufficiency resources that wonât radicalize you into a hate group
It seems like self-sufficiency and homemaking skills are blowing up right now. With the COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic crisis, a lot of folks, especially young people, are looking to develop skills that will help them be a little bit less dependent on our consumerist economy. And I think thatâs generally a good thing. I think more of us should know how to cook a meal from scratch, grow our own vegetables, and mend our own clothes. Those are good skills to have.
Unfortunately, these âself-sufficiencyâ skills are often used as a recruiting tactic by white supremacists, TERFs, and other hate groups. They become a way to reconnect to or relive the âgood old days,â a romanticized (false) past before modern society and civil rights. And for a lot of people, these skills are inseparably connected to their politics and may even be used as a tool to indoctrinate new people.
In the spirit of building safe communities, hereâs a complete list of the safe resources Iâve found for learning homemaking, gardening, and related skills. Safe for me means queer- and trans-friendly, inclusive of different races and cultures, does not contain Christian preaching, and does not contain white supremacist or TERF dog whistles.
Homemaking/Housekeeping/Caring for your home:
Making It by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen [book] (The big crunchy household DIY book; includes every level of self-sufficiency from making your own toothpaste and laundry soap to setting up raised beds to butchering a chicken. Authors are explicitly left-leaning.)
Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair by Mercury Stardust [book] (A guide to simple home repair tasks, written with rentals in mind; very compassionate and accessible language.)
How To Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis [book] (The book about cleaning and housework for people who get overwhelmed by cleaning and housework, based on the premise that messiness is not a moral failing; disability and neurodivergence friendly; genuinely changed how I approach cleaning tasks.)
Gardening
Rebel Gardening by Alessandro Vitale [book] (Really great introduction to urban gardening; explicitly discusses renter-friendly garden designs in small spaces; lots of DIY solutions using recycled materials; note that the author lives in England, so check if plants are invasive in your area before putting them in the ground.)
Country/Rural Living:
Woodsqueer by Gretchen Legler [book] (Memoir of a lesbian who lives and works on a rural farm in Maine with her wife; does a good job of showing what itâs like to be queer in a rural space; CW for mentions of domestic violence, infidelity/cheating, and internalized homophobia)
âDebunking the Off-Grid Fantasyâ by Maggie Mae Fish [video essay] (Deconstructs the off-grid lifestyle and the myth of self-reliance)
Sewing/Mending:
Annika Victoria [YouTube channel] (No longer active, but their videos are still a great resource for anyone learning to sew; check out the beginner project playlist to start. This is where I learned a lot of what I know about sewing.)
Make, Sew, and Mend by Bernadette Banner [book] (A very thorough written introduction to hand-sewing, written by a clothing historian; lots of fun garment history facts; explicitly inclusive of BIPOC, queer, and trans sewists.)
Sustainability/Land Stewardship
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer [book] (Most of you have probably already read this one or had it recommended to you, but it really is that good; excellent example of how traditional animist beliefs â in this case, indigenous American beliefs â can exist in healthy symbiosis with science; more philosophy than how-to, but a great foundational resource.)
Wild Witchcraft by Rebecca Beyer [book] (This one is for my fellow witches; one of my favorite witchcraft books, and an excellent example of a place-based practice deeply rooted in the land.)
Avoiding the âCrunchy to Alt Right Pipelineâ
Note: the âcrunchy to alt-right pipelineâ is a term used to describe how white supremacists and other far right groups use âcrunchyâ spaces (i.e., spaces dedicated to farming, homemaking, alternative medicine, simple living/slow living, etc.) to recruit and indoctrinate people into their movements. Knowing how this recruitment works can help you recognize it when you do encounter it and avoid being influenced by it.
âThe Crunchy-to-Alt-Right Pipelineâ by Kathleen Belew [magazine article] (Good, short introduction to this issue and its history.)
Sisters in Hate by Seyward Darby (I feel like I need to give a content warning: this book contains explicit descriptions of racism, white supremacy, and Neo Nazis, and itâs a very difficult read, but it really is a great, in-depth breakdown of the role women play in the alt-right; also explicitly addresses the crunchy to alt-right pipeline.)
These are just the resources Iâve personally found helpful, so if anyone else has any they want to add, please, please do!

God the mere image of a giant predacon like Predaking basically being a giant lap dog. The lovebirds cave being quite literally littered with random crap, some thatâs organized and some thatâs just thrown into a pile. Somehow he steals random furniture for you and the cave becomes a bit more like home- except Predaking doesnât actually use any of it or let YOU use it for that matter, simply tearing apart the fabric stuffing to make the nest more comfortable for his human mate.
I love this trope so much - giant, terrifying, and ridiculously dangerous creature turning into an obedient puppy because itâs just THAT down bad. I eat this shit up like a gourmet dish every single time.
Also, the image of Predaking holding the most random thing in his jaws is so funny. And he would absolutely be so proud of himself for managing to get you such a âgift,â gently wagging his tail and curling his mouth into something resembling a smile. Then he places his find in front of you, and it turns out he brought you an old, ugly couch or a random set of clothes, which immediately becomes part of your nest.
Predaking will do everything in his power to make sure you live well with him and never even think about going back to your old life. And if you ever have doubts or feel especially awful, missing the past, Predaking is already on his way to get another gift, even more unexpected than the last one. Then he mass displaces to cuddle with you <3 (which basically means laying his helm on you and pinning you to the floor, knocking the air out of your lungs. But don't worry! He is always super gentle with you!).

Hii
I am a mileven shipper comoletely open to byler, so I watched the lawyer vid
And all the things are pretty convincing but...I don't think Mike was jealous in the airport scene, because then he would have known the painting Will was doing was for him, but instead, even Finn confirmed Mike was clueless about it, so maybe Mike was just...idk....distant from Will and only was trying to rebuild their friendship, remember that he tried to call Will and Will never called him, so maybe he thought Will was mad at him and that's the reason he acts that way, plus Cara said thah you only see a friendship evolving so uhm- idk, ty for reading this and I hope you can adress this "doubt" I have
Hi!
El said in her letter 'I think there is someone he likes, because he has been acting 'weird'", which is for the benefit of the audience's view of Mike's emotions later on.
That's the first mention of the painting, and it's already established that it's an object with romantic intentions (but it's to the audience). So when the viewer sees Will holding the painting in the airport, they get the inkling that Will likes Mike, because it's for him, and he's been acting weird about it.
As for Mike's feelings about the painting.... you're not supposed to know.
Let's lay out the facts of the painting storyline here:
He doesn't want to hug Will at the airport.
He panics when he sees a painting that he has been told is is maybe for a girl.
He pretends to ignore Will all day and is overly affectionate with El (but then the viewer finds out he has actually taken notice of everything he's done).
He is annoyed when Will accuses him of not reaching out.
He feels like he lost Will.
When Will has more confidence in his relationship with Mike he takes the painting with him in his bag.
When Mike finds out the painting is for him he is amazed.
When he finds out that 'el commissioned it' he's confused.
From the Rink o Mania fight, we find out that Mike has been paying attention to Will all day and claims that it ruined the whole day. We also see him offended that Will's annoyed he didn't call, and he's offended that Will didn't call. He asks 'why am I the bad guy?' as if to accuse Will of doing the same thing that he's being accused of.
So, back to the original point about him being jealous. Yes, he is. He saw that Will had made a painting, and then he asks nervously what the painting is (the tone of his voice makes it sound like he already has some idea, but just wants confirmation). Will then brushes it off.
I don't think his non-hug and the painting are linked, I think the reason he didn't hug him is because he didn't want to feel something yknow. He romanticises any sort of interaction with Will, and he doesn't want to show his true feelings in front of everyone.
When Will brushes it off, he is instantly no longer interested. Miscommunication occurs, because while Will never said 'it's not for you', Mike assumes it's not for him because of the way that Will doesn't bring any attention to it, and makes it seem unimportant. The reason he's jealous is because yeah, he did just get confirmation that El could be right.
SOOOO when Will attacks Mike for not calling, Mike gets angry because he's like 'well you did the same thing by moving on with someone else' aka painting for someone else . (Will giving Mike his drawings has always been their thing as well, so it hurts even more that its not for him this time). That is why he later apologises by saying 'I feel like I lost you'. It is his explanation for why he got annoyed at him in Rink o Mania. The 'I feel like I lost you' basically means he was jealous and a self-pitying idiot (his words lmao), and has decided to own up to things and say that Will didn't deserve that. That was why he got angry in the first place. Because he felt like he had lost Will to someone else. So yes he was jealous.
To make this romantic.... is easy. El in the beginning could have easily said he's painting it for someone, maybe he's painting it for a friend, but Mike heard that it's specifically for someone Will likes, so the fact he feels like he lost Will to someone in a romantic sense, means that he also wants him romantically. He never gets this possessive when Dustin or Lucas get girlfriends.
Now, when the painting gets given to Mike again: He realises it is for him and gets super excited. Will doesn't need to tell him explicitly it's for him, because it's a painting of their DND characters.
But when Will said that El commissioned it, we can see the weirdness and the uneasiness on his face, because he's having an internal conflict that the audience cannot see. And again, WE ARENT SUPPOSED TO OKAY
Finn Wolfhard was also confused about this interaction, asking the Duffer Brothers why Mike's so clueless here. (he said this at a con or interview or something) He's also said in the past that Mike does not know about Will loving him. When asked, the Duffer Brothers responded with: "Don't worry, it'll pay off in the end". Meaning we will eventually know what Mike was thinking/ Mike will find out the truth. And the fact it's being dragged over 2 seasons and left for the final one, means it's important.
oof okay sorry that was such a RANTTT AHH but seriously, he was definitely sad about Will making the painting possibly for someone else, shown in his anger in the Rink o Mania fight, and the fact he said he thought he had lost him as a reason for his anger.
As for your comment about Cara? That is not what she said. You're saying that she said 'You only see a friendship evolving', which is not what she said.
She says "Mike goes on his own journey... and Will is not ready to grow up and leave that friendship." then she says, "So I think in season 5....' which Noah looks at her very suspiciously about, so she says something else.
She then says (keeping in mind the Season 5 comment), "Cause I know that as an actor, you're thinking about things as you're approaching it from an actor's perspective" THEN SHE SAYS "But i think from a story perspective, you just see like a friendship evolving" "People come apart and they come together"
Then Noah begins to say "And I will say that..." and then goes "No im not gonna say anything."
What does this mean? Well, she's saying that as actors, they know what is going to happen to Mike and Will in season 5. But from the audience's perspective, they may only see a friendship evolving. In season 5 that might change. She's not saying 'oh they only have a friendship' no no, she's describing the fact they're changing, and describing what the audience likely sees and what the audience may be confused about. Also this is a FRIENDS TO LOVERS ARC,,,,, of course they are sometimes going to be described as having a friendship.
and dont take the actors words as gospel! they were put on the spot anyways and dont have time to figure out everything they wanna say
#thanks so much for ur ask#byler#byler nation#byler endgame#mike wheeler#will byers#stranger things#stranger things 5

I think if we want to understand what happened during veilguard's development, it's worth looking at this article about anthem's. History may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme - right down to the last minute title change right before the big reveal trailer. The section on the way the use of performance capture for facial animations caused issues with the writing and story as things changed over the turbulent development also feels particularly relevant (basically, they didn't have the time and money to redo it when the story changed, so they just left in things that didn't make sense). It's also worth noting that Mark Darrah, Inqusition's executive director, was widely credited by the devs in the article as being the one to take anthem from nothing at all to something that could actually be shipped by the deadline EA required (he came onboard 17 months before the game shipped). Darrah left bioware in late 2020, before returning as a consultant on veilguard in March 2023 (19 months before release), which I think is particularly interesting and may offer some insight into the game's dev cycle.
I think it also answers the question of whether this is all ea or bioware's fault - and it's both. The answer is that it's both of them. It's ea's fault for forcing them to continue to use frostbite when the engine is clearly not suitable for this purpose, and then just leaving them to flounder. But the incredible mismanagement is absolutely bioware's fault. Upper management's inability to set a course and to make sure things were getting done is on them. Their reliance on "bioware magic" (aka crunch) to make everything come together, ignoring that it wasn't working, and dismissing employees' concerns about it is on them. One developer said that reading the reviews of anthem was "'like reading a laundry list of concerns that developers [had] brought up with senior leadership'" which is incredibly damning!
A lot has been said about the number of senior people that left during this time period, but based on this article, non-senior employees were quitting in droves as well. There was also a massive spike in people taking "stress leave" at the studio during both anthem and Andromeda's productions. One dev said they couldn't count how many people "'had such a mental breakdown from the stress they [were] just gone for one to three months. Some come back, some donât.'" Upper management at bioware let this environment happen. EA may have encouraged it with their insistence on an unrealistic release date, but bioware still let it happen.
#This is what I mean when I talk about structural issues making bad games#Because it sure doesn't sound like any of this got fixed for veilguard#bioware critical#Datv critical#<- sort of? I guess?#Tldr why is the game the way it is? Structural issues with bioware and ea#Plus a lot of bioware veterans are just gone. They quit! For understandable reasons!#Not just the writers and the other big names but lots of people with lots of institutional knowledge are gone#That's why it's different now

This is extremely accurate.
I donât have my degree yet, but I am doing research in LLM bias, and thisâthe fact that LLMs arenât actually thinking the way we doâhas been repeated over and over again by the postdoc.
LLMs âtalkâ to us, and so we assume theyâre reasoning. Basic theory of mind, right? We all developed it to some degree or another as toddlers. Well, theyâre âreasoningââbut not how we reason. Theyâre representing words numerically and computing the probabilities of other words appearing. Basically, theyâre very good at rambling on autopilot.
But we donât just learn what to doâwe learn why. We learn that 5 + 2 = 7 because we place 5 blocks and then place 2 blocks and count all the blocks to get 7. LLMs learn that 7 is what youâre supposed to say after 5+2=. And that might be fine if youâre doing single digit addition, but itâs not so good if youâre trying to get complex factual information.
Whatâs worse is that because humans are primed to assign human reasoning to everything, believing that LLMs think is an extremely common pitfall. Even some experienced researchers subtly make this mistake. You have to be actively aware of it to combat it.
On the other hand, people are inevitably going to use these models in an attempt to represent the world. So we try various fixes with the data, methods, fine-tuning, etc. to make LLMsâ rambling closer to reality. Itâs a double-edged sword, though, because it gets harder and harder to remember that this is just âhuh what word goes after this one.â Meanwhile none of this fixes the underlying issue:
LLMs are just really really good bullshit machines.
The problem here isnât that large language models hallucinate, lie, or misrepresent the world in some way. Itâs that they are not designed to represent the world at all; instead, they are designed to convey convincing lines of text. So when they are provided with a database of some sort, they use this, in one way or another, to make their responses more convincing. But they are not in any real way attempting to convey or transmit the information in the database. As Chirag Shah and Emily Bender put it: âNothing in the design of language models (whose training task is to predict words given context) is actually designed to handle arithmetic, temporal reasoning, etc. To the extent that they sometimes get the right answer to such questions is only because they happened to synthesize relevant strings out of what was in their training data. No reasoning is involved [âŚ] Similarly, language models are prone to making stuff up [âŚ] because they are not designed to express some underlying set of information in natural language; they are only manipulating the form of languageâ (Shah & Bender, 2022). These models arenât designed to transmit information, so we shouldnât be too surprised when their assertions turn out to be false.
ChatGPT is bullshit
#I maintain that llms *can* be good in certain contexts#but I have 0 faith in our collective ability to use them well#and I think the world would be better off without them at the present time#maybe thereâll be a good enough use case out there to make this all worth it#but i doubt it#machine learning as a whole howeverâŚ#that has a chance to be worth the harm#llms#ai#computer science#artificial intelligence

Seo Changbin can't multitask
Summary: It's surely magical how at one glance just a regular day in your life can become one of the most memorable and special days in your life given you're sharing it with a special person. It's especially interesting when everything starts by you asking your boyfriend to do a TikTok challenge to test his multitasking skills. Warnings: Reader is gender neutral. Consumption of alcohol. A few kiss scenes. Changbin being a sweetheart. It's mostly just fluff, but if I missed anything please tell me. Reader being whipped(who wouldn't honestly!). Reader realizing they are in love. Reader being worried for a minute about confessing. Just pure fluff. A/N- this is inspired by this lovely request I have received.

If you're curious this is the TikTok challenge I am refering to.
Growing up you imagined that falling in love would be something really magical, something really majestic and fairytale like. Maybe something out of Disney movie! Especially saying your first I love yous! You always thought you would exchange them with your partner in the most romantic situation ever. Not in a million years would you think that you would realize that you were in love on a random Tuesday doing a random challenge you saw on TikTok with your boyfriend.
It was a most casual day, nothing special had actually happened. The most exciting thing was that Changbin was supposed to come over later in the evening. Naturally you were more than excited to see him, due to your busy schedules you didnât get to see each other that much. So it was safe to say you missed him quite a lot.
You were also really excited to try this new challenge with him. It was no news that Changbin couldnât multitask. So when you saw a challenge where basically men had to cut out different shapes on colorful papers while telling a story you just knew you just had to try it on your boyfriend.
âBaby Iâm here!â Hearing Changbinâs booming voice immediately put a smile on your face. How was is possible that even being in his presence immediately put a smile on your face.
âIâm in the kitchen baby!â - You yelled out as you continued stirring the pasta sauce. Changbin had said earlier that he was craving some. So you went out to make some, you even bought some white wine to go with it.
âIt smells so good baby.â Changbin mused as he hugged you from the back.
âIt will be ready in two minutes baby, can you help me serve the table before that? And open up the wine please? Itâs on the counter.â You asked, but not before kissing him on his cheek.
âOf course baby!â Changbin squeezed you one last time before getting to work. He was so cute waddling around carefully not to disturb you as you finished up the pasta. It was something else watching him do something simple yet domestic. You couldnât explain it but it really warmed up your heart. Also it kind of amazed you how he just knew where everything was, even the wine opener. You didnât even remember most of the time where you put it. You might wonder what the big deal was but it just showed how close you were. Thinking about it you also knew his house like the back of your hand. You knew where he put everything and all. You hadnât been dating that long so it was an interesting observation of how well you two actually knew each other.
âIâm all done baby! He cheered as you finally finished carefully putting pasta on the plate. You were sure he would like it, it smelled just amazing. Youwere glad you really put your heart into it.
Walking to the table with two plates you couldnât help but smile at the careful but the still a bit messy way he had set the table.
Changbin had already poured the wine too and everything, he even had bought some cake and sweets with him and set them up too. It was another endearing thing about him how he never came at your house without bringing you something.
âBaby!â You couldnât help but jump a little when he cheered quite loudly. He immediately got up from his chair and walked over to you talking your hands in his. What baffled you the most is when he got on his knee all dramatically.
âWhat are you doing Bin?â You asked as you tried to control your giggling at his silly antics.
âWhat Iâm doing? I will tell you what Iâm doing! I am going to kiss the magical hands of my baby for making something this delicious!â And to make his point more apparent he leaned in and covered your hands in kisses, not missing a single knuckle.
You couldnât help but burst out laughing, he was so sweet and silly. âYouâre so cute Binnie.â Leaning in you connected your lips in a short but loving kiss. âIâm taking you like my cooking.â
Changbin smiled and pecked you softly. âIâm saying that Iâm regretting not buying a ring for you. So what if we have been only dating for two months.â
Smiling you shook your head. âMy cooking can not be that good!â
âFirst of all how dare you itâs top tier, second of all even if it wasnât, the fact that you got out of your way to do something for me speaks volumes about how kind and loving you are. As Iâm saying marriage material.â God you loved this man.
Oh.
Oh.
You were in love.
You loved Seo Changbin.
As if happy you finally realized it your heart felt like it doubled in size, it just bloomed in joy. You felt like you could yell it on top of your lungs, to let everyone know!
You gazed into his loving eyes, full of light and joy, sparkling oh so beautifully.
Suddenly you were rendered speechless. Your pulse quickened, your breath fastened, hands felt more clammy. You just couldnât muster up anything to say. It just baffled you how nervous you got in a second. It was Changbin! The person you you felt most comfortable and safe with. Why couldnât you say you loved him? You two had been dating for two months and he told you that he would marry you, why couldnât you say something way more simple? Why did you feel so nervous now? Why couldnât you tell him that you love him? This felt like such a right time too. Maybe you should think over your emotions first. Not that you needed any thinking about it. As soon as you realized everything just clicked together, like it was the most natural thing to be in love with him.
Taking a deep breath you forced yourself to say something. âAll in itâs time okay baby?â Leaning in you gently held his face and kissed him, more passionately and now. If you couldnât voice just yet how you felt you would try to show your feelings through the kiss.
Changbin gladly reciprocated, standing up slowly he also held onto your cheeks to bring you closer and deepen the kiss.
Everything seemed to disappear. It was only you and Changbin. Nothing else, not that it mattered anyway when you two had each other.
You only remembered about the forgotten dinner when you leaned back for some air.
âBaby the food will get cold.â You giggled at the annoyed huff from Changbin when you dodged his kiss.
âI want to kiss you though.â He tried to kiss you again but you skillfully avoided his lips and made him kiss your cheek instead.
âDinner first! I promise I will kiss you as many times as you want later.â- You suggested smiling.
Changbin thought for a second, his eyes not leaving yours. Then quickly held your face so he could quickly peck your lips. âDeal!â-He muttered against your lips before giving you another quick peck. You couldnât help but mirror his grin. He was such a dork.
The dinner was mostly quiet, with you occasionally talking about how your days went. It was comforting and somewhat healing to just eat dinner together and sip some wine while talking about mundane stuff of everyday life. You could get used to it and definitely wouldn't mind if this was an everyday occurrence. His earlier marriage rant really had shifted something inside you.
After eating you quickly tidied up with Changbin insisting that he do the dishes because that was âthe least he could doâ as he said.
So here you were now, sitting on your couch sipping your wine, enjoying each otherâs presence, with some soft music playing in the background. You were debating if you should try the challenge with him, you were enjoying yourself and you didn't really feel like moving even a centimeter.
In the end you couldnât resist the temptation. And decided to ask. âBinnie, I saw this challenge earlier on TikTok, will you try it with me?â
Changbin raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued. âWhatâs the challenge?â
âNothing special, I just thought we could try it. Iâm not going to post it or anything, but I think it will be a cute thing to do. You know we can look at it later, maybe years later and just reminisce you know?â You tried to not show too much excitement but you might have failed at that a little bit. Also it flustered you how you slipped up and said how you could at the video years later. You really saw future with him, but was this a good time to say this? Two months wasnât that long to have those types of conversations? Or was it? You and Changbin were in for the long run, you surely knew that but still, it did make you feel a bit nervous.
Maybe Changbin noticed the little bit of hesitation in the end of your suggestion, or maybe he just felt like it, but he leaned in and gently kissed your lips which momentarily made you forget how to breathe. âOf course baby, what do you want me to do?â His voice was gentle, so loving.
God you loved this man.
âOne second!â Somehow, with your legs feeling like jelly and your heart fluttering uncontrollably in your ribcage, you managed to get up to get the supplies for the challenge.
Changbin looked at you for a second then at the camera, a playful smirk appearing on his face. Suddenly with the most dramatic gasp ever he clutched his heart. âNot my baby, my darling targeting my biggest weakness! How could you do this to me baby! When you think you know someone!â Suddenly he straightened up and gave you a playful glare. âFor this betrayal you shall pay double the price! I demand as many kisses as I deem necessary and cuddles on top of that!â
You set up your phone and started to record, you would edit the video later if it got too long.
You handed him some papers on which you drew some flowers and hearts earlier and some scissors. âBasically, itâs a challenge to test your multitasking skills, I will also do it. You see how there are different shapes drawn on the papers? You just have to cut them out while telling a story without interruptions, like how we met for instance! Sound good?â
For the nth time that day you found yourself giggling at your boyfriendâs silly antics. Leaning in you kissed the top of his nose. âThatâs a given baby, I will give you as many kisses as you want and maybe even more!â
Changbin grinned triumphally, his chest puffing out in pride.
âOkay letâs do it! I will make sure to win this challenge! Also you canât back down I have the evidence of your promise on camera right there. So brace your pretty lips.â It was cute how fired up he got.
He looked at the papers his face suddenly more serious. In the end he chose glittery pink paper with a heart drawn on it.
âHow we met huh? Okay!â He took the scissors and brought it to the paper. âI was with Hyunjin at the new cafĂŠ he wanted to go to. He found it on Instagram or something and he liked how artsy it was, so asked me to go with him, so I agreed.â Not to lie you were impressed on how well he started. He was talking confidently as he carefully started to cut out the shape. âIt was a sunny day too. ThenâŚâ You not breaking the eye contact you still noticed how his hands faltered. He must have not noticed, he was gently smiling at the fond memory. âWe got americanos because we had a lot of work to doâŚâ He must have noticed he had stopped so he quickly picked up the pace. âAnd thenâŚâ He faltered again. Resumed to cut and faltered again. âWow this is hardâŚâ He sighed, looking a bit annoyed at the paper, which wasnât even halfway cut yet. âAnd then you bumped into me, because you werenât really looking forward and was distracted by something. My drink spilled over me andâŚâ Another falter followed with an annoyed huff. âYou were so sorry, you kept apologizingâ A few scissor movements without saying anything. âYou looked so cute; I couldnât even take my eyes for you.â His stands stopped moving at all. âYou were so embarrassed you almost looked like you were about to cry, but you looked to beautiful I canât even describe it with words, you were apologizing and muttering about how you had the most horrible day ever. You were wearing all whites which made you look more angelic than ever. I couldnât even say anything. It was the first time I understood the meaning of being rendered speechless by the sheer beauty of someone and I'm friends with Hyunjin! You were just so captivating. There was something so enchanting about you! And then you offered to buy me coffee and to pay for my dry-cleaning. That was when I noticed that my shirt was dirty. Honestly I didnât give a damn about it I had clothes to change into at the studio but I agreed, because it meant that I would see you again. I quickly gave you my number and left with Hyunjin saying that I was busy and all. Honestly, I left so quickly because I was afraid you would change your mind. Usually Iâm confident and everything but you just made me feel so nervous! âChangbin smiled softly, his eyes gentle and loving, looking at you with all the love in the world. You were speechless. Maybe even seconds away from crying, because hearing him talk about meeting you, sharing his thoughtsâŚYou couldnât even begin to describe how it made you feel. You felt so loved and cherished and appreciated. Listening to this, you felt like a hero of a most touching romance book or a movie who gave a damn.
Smiling Changbin continued. âAnd that evening when you texted me I was so overjoyed! You asked me when was I free and IâŚâ You didnât let him finish, not giving a damn about anything, you wrapped your hands around him and kissed him.
You could feel Changbinâs hands fumble for a second. He clearly wasnât expecting you to kiss him like that. He felt stiff for a second but he quickly regained his senses and leaned into the kiss. You heard a small thud, he must have thrown away scissors and papers somewhere away, because in a second his arms, free of anything, held you oh so tightly, as if he was afraid of letting you go.
âI love you!â you muttered against his lips, as you leaned in to kiss him some more.
Suddenly Changbin leaned back. Bewilderment written all over his face. Honestly he was a sight to behold. With his hair all messy from your wondering hands, cheeks all flushed. His glasses he decided to wear today sitting a bit crooked on his nose. His lips looking swollen and being most prettiest shade of pink from your kissing. God you loved him.
âWhat did you say?â His voice trembled, his wide eyes looking at yours, searching for answers.
You returned the confused stare. What was he getting at? Did you say something?
âYou love me?â Changbin looked like he couldnât believe his own words.
As the realization of your slipup hit you felt your face flush with embarrassment. Suddenly all you wanted to do was to crawl somewhere and hide.
âBabyâŚâ Changbin held your face gently and made you look at him. âDo you love me?â
Unable to hide it anymore you nodded your head before answering. âI do. I love you.â
Changbin looked at you, his face portraying all sorts of emotions, you couldnât really descipher. âIâm sorry. I know we havenât been dating for that long. But I love you. A lot. I really love youâŚâ
You didnât even have time to even blink before his lips were on yours. He held you so tight as his lips devoured yours. This kiss was nowhere near countless small loving kisses you had shared before this. This was just something else. Something so raw, so passionate, so full of love and longing. It was whole another experience. You had never been kissed like this before. It made you feel so alive. Like there was this fire inside of you, making you feel ignited. You felt like you were on top of the world, like anything was possible and reachable. You felt truly alive.
Alive and falling.
And you did fall.
Changbin had deemed it necessary to just fall with you on top of him on the sofa.
Your sofa creaked in distaste for the sudden weight but both of you chose to ignore it. Choosing to kiss each other instead. Truth be told, you wouldnât even give a damn if it broke into a million pieces right now.
âI love you!â Changbin whispered against your lips. âI love you.â Another peck. âI love you so much!â He grinned against your lips. âGod Iâm so happy I could die.â Another short but loving kiss followed by countless another, not limiting to your lips. He kissed you everywhere he could reach you.
âPlease say it again.â He asked you after making sure to cover every visible part of your skin in kisses.
âI love you Binnie.â Smiling you caressed his cheek, loving how he leaned into your touch. His eyes looking at you with so much love, shining oh so beautifully they could rival any star in the universe.
Your heart had never felt fuller.
It was surely a miracle how seemingly most uneventful and regular day at first became most memorable and special day for you. And you hoped it would be followed with many more days like this with Changbin making them more memorable and special with you.

But when your company launches a new product and your department head tasks you with signing Jeon Jungkook up as an endorsement partner - you have no choice but to chase him like the corporate slave that you are. However, things turn worse when you embroil in a dating rumor with him and have to keep the game going for the sake of everything. is it really for the worse or things will turn in a way you never expected it to? Â

Thanks to the every possible gods out there, you are capable of keeping your poker face even when your insides are burning with rage.Â
Like right now.Â
First of all you landed in a proposition with one of the people you donât even like, that too, with the most insufferable one in question.Â
Secondly, your superiors are treating him as if he has won a gold medal or something.Â
Min Yoongi - the man who is known for his nonchalance and quiet wisdom, canât seemingly stop giving his gummy smile to this guy, Jeon Jungkook.Â
Mrs. Lee, who is probably double the age of the guy, is ogling him as if it's a zombie apocalypse and she hasnât seen another male for thirty years or so.Â
When they both turn to you, you realize they are probably waiting for you to react the same way as them.Â
Too bad, you are not even the least bit amused.Â
After greeting both of the superiors, Jeon Jungkook looks at you - with those big ass googly eyes. A kind smile plays on his lips.Â
He extends his hand with a soft ânice to meet you.âÂ
Well. definitely not the same. You scream internally but you compose yourself and return his smile, somewhat half-assed, as you wrap your small hand around his big veiny ones (the same hand that does those dirty deeds with others of his stature).
âNice to meet you too.â you murmur only because Yoongi is giving you those eyes you absolutely love and hate at the same time.Â
Yoongi gestures to Jungkook to take the seat, âSo, Mr. Jeon. I assume you have gone through our proposal already?â
âUmm.. yeah. My manager did go through your proposal and briefed me.â Jeon Jungkook says with a voice that doesnât match that gruff, breathy one from the video.Â
Why the fuck do I keep thinking of the video? You inhale a long breath.Â
âOkay so.. Is there any question in your mind? Or do you want me to go through it all once again?â Yoongi adds good naturedly. Â
âUmm no actually. I came here to decline your offer.â Jungkook drops the bomb. If you are low-key happy then you donât let it show on your face.Â
âW-what? Why? Is there any part of the offer that is not up to your liking? We can revise it anytime you want.â Mrs. Lee butts in.Â
âUh. no not that. I personally donât like to use the devices that your company manufactures. All of your laptops are so bulky, the chassis is always too old-fashioned. Itâs not something Jeon Jungkook would use, you know what I mean?â Jungkook reasons smugly, as he leans on the backrest of his chair and crosses his legs.Â
You hear blood rushing to your brain and before any of your superiors can say anything you start speaking, âoh really? Must be tough to carry our laptops to a pornset or something, huh?âÂ
You see Jungkookâs eyes going comically wide as he tries to register what you have just said.Â
âWhat? What are you talking about?â he semi-screams. His attention is now trained only and only on you.Â
âYou know very well what I am talking about, Mr. Jeon.â you lean on the table just as smugly. Under the table Yoongi kicks on your shin but you dodge his attack at the right time.Â
Jungkook laughs. A big, thunderous laugh, âI donât see it being any of your business to question what I do in my free time, is it?âÂ
You smirk. If he thought you are going to back off that easily, he was wrong, âit definitely is not. But the fact that we chose to offer you this endorsement deal despite your current public reputation, tells a lot about our dedication towards charity.âÂ
âOh.. so this is a charity huh?â Jungkook narrows his eyes at you, âsorry to tell you but Jeon Jungkook doesnât need any charity.âÂ
With that Jungkook stands up and gales at you for one last time before he storms out of the room.Â
Yoongi slams his head directly on the table making you wince at the loud thud.Â
âY/N! What do you think you did?â Mrs. Lee screams in horror.Â
âWhat?â you shrug in nonchalance, âhe was going to say no anyway.âÂ
âY/Nâ Yoongi finally says, probably after struggling not to punch himself in the face for inviting you to the meeting, âwe could have negotiated if you chose to stay silent.âÂ
âBut I only said whatâs true. This collaboration could have saved his face. He was the one who chose to be an ass- I mean, inconsiderate.â you argue.Â
âOh really? Then why donât you show him whatâs right?â Yoongi says in a sugary voice, one thatâs not really good news.Â
âWhat do you mean?â you question, suspicion landing on your brain.
âYou need to bring him back if you love the year-end appraisal or you can kiss your promotion goodbye.â he says in a collected voice.Â
âWhat? Yoongi! You canât do this!â you stand from your seat, and Yoongi only smirks at you.Â
âOh I definitely can. I can also submit a formal complaint against you calming that you have messed up an important deal. Do you want that?âÂ
You stay silent, questioning your life choices, your career choices. Cursing at the every god above for making you a human when you could have been a worm.Â
No job, no money issues, no Min Yoongi, no Jeon Jungkook - only soil and dirt.Â
You sit on the chair again, cover your face with both of your hands and curse âfuck everyoneâ.Â
Your eyes zero on your phone this time. The insta handle is burning too bright for the darkness of your room. Honestly, tapping the name is currently hurting your pride.Â
But what can you even do - you are a corporate slave after all. And the crush you have on your direct superior, prevents you from being rebellious.Â
But more than just that - you know you were wrong.Â
Your hate towards the social media influencers clan is pretty much ridiculous and apparently has no reason.Â
Is it due to your underlying insecurity? Is it because you believe you are inferior to them? While they make hundreds of dollars per hour, you make a dime?Â
You probably hate Jeon Jungkook because he is the same age of yours and yet has everything you donât? - like an amazing sex life.Â
As you tap on the story, it takes you into a video with all colors of gleaming lights. Clearly a club. Loud music blares through your phone speaker, almost paralyzing your ears.Â
You canât see Jeon Jungkook on the screen, obviously because he is the one recording the video. But you can hear him whooing in the background. There are some girls around him for obvious reasons.Â
Suddenly you feel jealous of him again.Â
He is of your age and he is enjoying a night out at a posh club while you are on your bed, with your ugly pajamas on and you canât go out because you have work tomorrow.Â
As soon as the word âworkâ registers in your mind, you remember you have been tasked with bringing Jungkook back.Â
You look at the screen again. He has added the location, which means you can find the club, find him and apologize (oh god no!) and beg him for another meeting.Â
Yes. That's a nice plan. You can then mourn for your dead self-respect with a bucket full of ice-cream.Â
You have picked the shortest possible dress you own.Â
Itâs a shimmery black bodycon that reaches your mid-thigh. The noodle strap of the bodycon dress gives a tempting view of your collar-bone and cleavage.Â
You have let your hair lose - you look the best like this. A touch of makeup and you are all ready.Â
You know you are attractive but will that be enough for the bouncers to let you inside that posh club? You pray itâs enough.Â
When the taxi drops you in front of the well-known club in Gangnam, you spot the line. And thankfully, the queue is not at all terrible.Â
Since the clock hasnât hit 10:00 pm yet, the entry is free.Â
When you reach in front of the bouncers, they give you a once-over, then look at each other. Your hands feel clammy because they have rejected almost everyone before you. If you are not wrong then only two of the visitors were let in.Â
But then one of them brought the stamp out and held it in front of your face. You gave him your wrist with a squeal of joy.Â
You let yourself go blind and deaf with the glaring lights and loud music. Wherever you look, you see people attached to people. Some are dancing, some are drinking, some are making out, some are just standing and talking with drinks in their hands.Â
You donât think you have seen this amount of strangers all year.Â
You will admit - you feel alive.Â
But no! No Y/N! You are here with a motive, you canât let yourself be distracted!Â
In the story, Jungkook seemed to be close to the bar island. Even though that was more than an hour ago, you still start looking for the bar island.Â
âWhy are there so many bars?â you mumble to yourself as you scan the entire floor. There are at least four bars here, there must be more on the upper floor.Â
You start feeling helpless at once. All these strangers around you, wrapped in wealth, some giving you long looks - trigger your social anxiety.Â
Bad decision. Itâs a bad decision. You should probably just run away.Â
But when you are about to take an u-turn, you see him.Â
You see Jeon Jungkook on the dance floor, grinding on a red-headed pretty looking girl.Â
He looks - like a fucking wet dream.Â
A black baggy jeans, a black t-shirt, some bulky golden chains, his dark hair gleams under the lights. His lip ring shines directly on your eyes and you snap back.Â
Great. Now that you have found him.. You can proceed with your plan - which is to beg him.Â
Without a second thought, you start stepping on the dance floor.Â
There are not a lot of people, so you easily get past everyone and stand there behind him.Â
Your eyes drop on his ass, then his hands, his veins and you question your life choices.Â
Somebody just crashes on you making you lurch forward.Â
Your body slams against Jungkookâs back. You are about to apologize when he reaches behind with his hand and grabs your side. He grinds his ass on you without even looking at your face.Â
You feel nauseous. This is the second time you are meeting him and the proximity is very scandalous.Â
Placing your hand on top of his, you break free from his hold.Â
âJeon Jungkook, can I please talk to you for a moment?â you scream in his ears.Â
He doesnât stop moving, but you know he has heard you.Â
Jungkook slowly moves on his feet while vibing and then turns to face you.Â
His mischievous eyes bore into yours as he takes you in slowly. He shamelessly eyes your cleavage then looks back up your face.Â
âWhat?â he screams over the music.Â
âNot here. Can we go somewhere quiet?âÂ
He smirks at you, âoh? Already? Wait- have I seen you before?âÂ
Your blood turns cold, âno. I mean yeah. Actually-â
âYou- that obnoxious employee from Techtonic? Right?â his eyes go wide.Â
âObnoxious? I am obnoxious? Then what are y-â you inhale, âYes. I am Y/N. You are right. I am from Techtonic. Can I please have a word with you?âÂ
âNo? Why would I spare my precious time on you? So that you can insult me again?â he frowns at your figure before starting to walk away. Â
You grab onto his hand, âPlease. I am here to apologize. I promise.âÂ
He looks back, takes a look at the place you are touching him and then looks at you, âif I give you a chance⌠What will you give me in return?â Jungkook challenges.Â
What in the world did you get yourself into?Â
You donât have a single drop of alcohol in your veins.Â
I repeat - you donât have a single drop of alcohol in your veins then what is making you feel so lightheaded?Â
If itâs the spicy citrusy smell that Jeon Jungkookâs emitting then you wonât admit it even if you end up dying.Â
âTell me, Y/N. What will I get if I give you another chance?â he challenges again. This time his tongue pokes out of that perfectly small round mouth and plays with the glinting lip ring.Â
You donât understand the science of hearing him clearly despite the sound of loud music and the loud beating of your heart.Â
âI- anything. Anything you ask for.â you choke out, uncertainty lacing your voice.Â
âAnything I ask for?â Jungkook comes impossibly close to your body.Â
You can see long fingers with even longer nails circling around his torso. The red-headed girl is clinged around him.Â
âIf- If I can afford that.â you choke out again.
âOh.. you definitely can.â he smirks like a devil. All the smug pride drains from your body at the thought of what he might be asking from you.Â
âCome with me.â Jungkook whispers briefly as he takes your hand and guides you through the crowd towards the upper floor.Â
The piece of skin, where his fingers are holding your wrist - burns.Â
You are ashamed, nervous, afraid - all in all you want to die.Â
Just a week ago you were scoffing at your laptop watching this guy make fame out of a porn video and now he is leading you god knows where to do god knows what.Â
Before you could take in your surroundings, Jungkook slams you on the nearest wall. He wastes no time in locking you between his arms.Â
âYou really came here only to convince me? You had no other intention, huh?â He asks with the lowest possible voice. A shiver runs down through the path of your spine.Â
âNo. What intention would I even have? I fucked things up at the meeting so my superiors are making me clean the mess.â Your voice comes out firmer than what you thought you could manage.Â
âOh? Really? But I think there is something else to it.â Jungkook comes closer to your body. His chest touches yours. You take a sharp inhale but keep the eye-contact intact.Â
Jungkookâs eyes dip down to your chest again as he continues, âyou want what you watched in that video, donât you?â he wets his lips once those vile words come out of his mouth.Â
Your jaw hits the floor almost, âwhat the fuck? What makes you think I want you?âÂ
Jungkook invades whatever was left off of your personal space and whispers right into your ear, âIf you accept it nicely, tell me the truth whether you got turned on or not, I will give your company a chance.â Â
You gulp at his offer.Â
If you say you were completely unaffected after watching him fucking his partner so well, then it will be a lie for sure.Â
So⌠if you swallow your pride and tell him that he indeed had some kind of effect on you - he will be up for another meeting?Â
âAnd what if I tell you the truth?â you question, looking deep into his chocolate eyes. All you see there is mirth.Â
âI will schedule another meeting with your company. But I will be declining you all again.â Jungkook adds nonchalantly.Â
You scoff at that, pushing him away and making some space between your bodies, âso you are just going to use my confession and insult me in my workplace?âÂ
âOooohhhh⌠You are not dumb, I see?â he muses, stumbling back from your body.Â
âWh-what? Dumb? You thought I am dumb? Mind you, Jeon Jungkook, I get paid for doing actual work and not because I keep hollering at a dumb computer screen in front of camera.â anger flares through every vein in your body.Â
âAnd yet you came here to beg me?â he shrugs smugly.Â
âYou know what? Fuck you and your stupid followers who feed your stupid ego!â screaming at his face, you take steps away, stomping on the floor even if your heels are killing you already.Â
This was a bad idea. Indeed a bad idea.Â
You donât get paid for dealing with these scumbags. So itâs not your responsibility. Itâs better to have your appraisal compromised than falling in the trap of Jeon Jungkook.Â
You imagine Jungkookâs face in the place of the ice cream tub as you stab your fork in it with as much fierceness as you could find in yourself.Â
Yes, you are eating ice-cream with a fork, so that you can imagine Jungkookâs face and stab in it.Â
âFucking nutjob! What do you even think of yourself!â stab stab stab âKarma will hit you back very soon! You fucking asshole!â stab stab stab.Â
As if granting your prayers, the cosmos sends a notification to your device. You take the phone to see Yoongi's instagram handle that has sent you a text.Â
You start blushing instantly. Â
âIs this the universeâs way of making up for todayâs trashy encounter?â you murmur to yourself as you open his text.Â
Itâs a link so maybe itâs one of those cat videos he sends you the links of.Â
As you tap on the link, it takes to a post that has been made just an hour ago. The post - a video, containing proofs of Kim Doona (the influencer Jungkook fucked) being a high school bully. The video has texts sent by Doona to the victim, threatening her not to reveal anything.Â
Looks like Karma mistook the address. It should have been Jeon Jungkook!Â
You go to the comments.Â
All of their followers are going crazy, itâs just the same shit in different sentences. So you scroll past it all.Â
But there are two comments that catch your eye, actually one comment and its reply.Â
Commenter: Canât believe Jeon Jungkook chose her out of everyone? A class bully? Really Jeon? You could do better.Â
Reply 1: What are you even saying? Jungkook probably didnât even know and mind you, none of them confirmed if they were together or not. Reply 2: but girl, they f*cked on camera! Reply 3: How does that confirm their relationship? Reply 4: Jeon Jungkook has a girlfriend, I caught them at the club just a few hours ago. The proof is in my story.Â
Eh? Kim Doona isnât his girlfriend? That was a rumor? He has another girlfriend who was with him at the club?Â
But you were at the club too, you should have seen them. Is it that red-head girl?Â
All of these questions swirl inside your head as you tap on the personâs story.Â
The video is taken amid a mass of bodies, trying to be discreet, but you can recognize Jeon Jungkook, leading a woman through the crowd.Â
Your heart stops beating for a moment when you realize itâs you. Your face is not visible properly, curtained by your hair, and you are thankful for that.Â
The video continues as Jungkook takes you towards the quiet corner. The person, whoâs recording, moves too for getting a clearer view.Â
Now he is hiding behind the end of the wall that Jungkook had pressed you on. The video shows how he had towered you in, whispered in your ear and smirked at you. But then it gets cut right before you push him away!Â
âFuck! I am not his girlfriend! Are you people blind? How do we look like a couple?!â you scream at your phone.Â
You decide you have had enough humiliation today. Hence, putting your phone in charge and traveling towards dreamland is a better idea.Â
This fiasco may die down by the morning. People will definitely defy the girlfriend theory because you two donât look like a couple. And your face wasnât even properly visible in the video. So yeah let sleep solve your problems.Â
Except - nothing solves.Â
When you wake up and take your phone out of charge, you grasp so hard that your phone slips from your hold and lands on the bed with a thud.Â
You have a thousand new follow requests on your instagram account. There are a ton of texts from various people in Ktalk and most of them have sent you insta links.Â
You open your younger sisterâs text. She has sent everything in caps:Â
Y/N!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THIS??? [Link] YOU DIDNâT TELL ME YOU ARE DATING JEON JUNGKOOK????????
You type your reply:Â
Calm down. I am not dating that douchebag.Â
And then you tap on the link.Â
The post that the link takes you to, can rival your natal chart. Itâs a detailed discussion of who you are, whatâs your job, how do you look, where you have probably met Jungkook and your insta handel.Â
They have also attached a photo of Jungkook talking to you standing in the middle of the dance floor.Â
âFuck fuck fuck!!!!â you curse and curse and curse.Â
Why are these people dragging you into this mess now? Why do they have to link you up with him? What the hell is even happening?Â
How are you even going to get to work today?
You shoot a quick text to Yoongi saying that you need a off-day today for obvious reasons. He sends one of those rofl emojis along with a thumbs up and you try not to feel down.Â
Yoongi doesnât really understand what you feel for him? Does he?Â
You mean you are embroiled in a dating rumor with someone else and he seems to be just fine?Â
Itâs just another confirmation that he doesnât reciprocate your stupid crush on him.Â
Just when you are about to keep your phone aside and sleep some more, you get a call from an unknown number.Â
You donât think much before receiving it.Â
âHello, whoâs this?â your voice is still groggy and your stomach rumbles as you speak on the phone.Â
A sweet cherry voice rings in your ear, âHello, is this Y/N?âÂ
âYes. and you?âÂ
âI am Kim Seokjin, Jeon Jungkookâs manager.âÂ
The remnant of sleep flies away from your eyes as the man introduces himself. Why is Jeon Jungkookâs manager calling you this early in the morning!?Â
âHow can I help you?â you voice, not trying to mask your confusion.Â
âY/N, I assume you are aware of the situation, right? I mean the rumors?âÂ
âI am aware and currently waiting for Mr. Jeon to decline the speculations.â you state as firmly as possible.Â
âAbout that⌠Why donât we discuss before revealing anything?âÂ
You frown at that.
âDiscuss? What is there to discuss? You know well that I got to know Mr. Jeon via a professional connection, there is nothing else added to it, except for the fact that I visited the club to convince him for another meeting. And all of these things happened.âÂ
âExactly. I know it all and I also know that itâs not nice to be dragged into this mess but we, me and Jungkook, have a proposition to make. We can use this situation for both of our benefits for strictly business purposes.âÂ
You sigh, âI donât understand what you are trying to say Mr. Kim.âÂ
âYes. That is only natural. So, why donât we meet face to face and get down on the details of the proposition? You can bring a friend or family if you are not comfortable meeting us alone. How does lunch sound?âÂ
You think for a moment. You could probably take Jimin with you? Even though itâs monday, he will squeeze some time out of his schedule if you promise him free lunch.Â
âOkay. I will send you a confirmation text in this number.â you reply before cutting the call and directing your fingers towards Jiminâs text.Â
He has sent you a similar array of texts, so hopefully he wonât have too many questions to ask. He will understand once you give him a brief.Â
âI will tell you everything, can you meet me for lunch? I need to meet Jeon Jungkook and his manager for obvious reasons. Free lunch will be offered.âÂ
His reply comes within a few moments,Â
âIâm in. I will pick you up just text me the time.âÂ
You now type a text to Kim Seokjin confirming him the meeting as he texts you the time.Â
Just when you are about to go to Jiminâs inbox again, another unknown number sends you a text.Â
Annoyance flares through your veins as you open it. It says:Â
âSee you soon, pornaddict.Â
â Jeon Jungkook.âÂ
You groan at the choice of nick name, âFuck you, Jeon!âÂ
You donât understand many things.Â
But currently, you donât understand why this fine-as-fuck man is Jeon Jungkookâs manager slash assistant.Â
He goes by the name Kim Seokjin.Â
When he smiles at you, you melt. And to compose your flustered state you look at Jeon Jungkook - the (current) bane of your existence.Â
He gives you a lopsided smile that obviously is fake, leaning down against the sofa seat absorbing as much sunlight as possible.Â
You donât give him any reaction.. Beside you, Jimin introduces himself to both of the men.Â
âMiss Y/N. Thank you so much for coming.â Seokjin says in a pleasant tone. His voice sounds like honey dripping from a silver spoon.Â
You nod, âYeah. Alright, Mr. Kim, can I ask about the proposition you were talking about?â Â
âCall me seokjin. And sure, letâs get into the important details.â he pauses to give you a sweet smile then opens his ipad and scrolls through something. Jungkook, too, scrolls through his phone so unamusedly as if he has been dragged here without his consent.Â
âSo, as you already know, the situation is out of hand now. We tried to take down the initial posts but the photos and videos spread like fire.â he speaks calmly. You nod along with him, Jimin too gives the older man his utmost attention.Â
âOn the other hand, our Jungkookie has been interacting with people, who are currently embroiled in controversy.â noted: Seokjin called Jungkook as Jungkookie and he is talking about Doona.Â
You see Jungkook rolling his eyes.Â
âIf it wasnât not for you, then he would be dragged down in the mess too.â Seokjin continues, âI know itâs not nice to be the center of unwanted attention and it is already causing you damage but⌠we need your help. Jungkook needs your help.âÂ
Jungkook makes a very unapproving sound from his seat.Â
âWhat help? How can I even help you guys?â you are now extremely confused. Why would Jeon Jungkook, out of all people, need your help?Â
âDate him.â Seokjin proposes.Â
âWhat?â you and Jimin scream in unison.Â
âNot for real. Calm down. I meant to say, if you pretend to be his girlfriend before the world, on social media, it will help Jungkookie in defying possible criticism and hatred.â Seokjin explains calmly.Â
However, you are anything but calm.Â
Whatever criticism Jeon Jungkook faces, it is simply his own problem. You have nothing to do with it. What is your benefit by being involved with him?Â
As if reading your mind Seokjin now states, âin return, Jungkookie will sign an exclusive deal with your company for not only one but any kind of future collaboration your company wants with him, that too, at a discounted price.â he winks at you.Â
Your jaw hits the floor.Â
âHyung! What the fuck! Where is this discount coming from?â Jungkook finally opens his mouth for the first time.Â
âCool. Iâm in.â you reply in a heartbeat. Jimin clutches your wrist under the table.Â
âY/N! Arenât you even going to think?â he whisper-yells in your ear.Â
âThere is nothing to think about. This is a very good deal, Jiminie. I will be hard-pressed to let such an opportunity go.â you whisper back.Â
âBut-âÂ
âI knew you would be an intelligent oneâ Seokjin cuts off your friend with a cherry tone, âI look forward to working with youâ he extends his hand, you take in him with a shake. The shit-eating grin is lighting up your face.Â
Jungkook sits there throwing daggers at you with his eyes.Â
âItâs all because of you! You fucked things up!â Jungkookâs loud voice invades the serenity you were enjoying while waiting for Jimin to show up with his car.Â
You turn your head in astonishment and give him wide eyes, âMy ears must have gone cold. You are saying thanks and I am hearing something completely different.âÂ
âNo! You are hearing it right, I said you fucked things up. Only if you didnât show up at the club-â
âThen people would be dragging you down in twitter and instagram for fucking a school bully on camera.â you finish the sentence for him.Â
Jungkook clicks his tongue and the smirks, âyou know what? I can see how bad you are down for me. Is this all a part of your plan?âÂ
You smirk back, folding your hand in front of your chest, âFYI, your manager reached out to me to help you out. I am doing you a favor and you are returning it. Got it?âÂ
âAgain.. Again that nasty attitude of yours.â Jungkook steps towards you, âyou know what⌠I kinda like it.âÂ
He breathes directly on your face.Â
The puff of his breath lands on the apple of your cheeks making a blush creep up without your notice.
âMake sure you save my number, girlfriend. See you tomorrow.â he leans down and whispers the last words in your ears and then disappears inside the parking lot.Â
You stand there, catching your breath and questioning your decision for the first time since the proposition landed on your lap.Â
But wait? What does he mean by âsee you tomorrowâ?Â
Somebody must have pressed a replay button on the cassette of your life.Â
If not then itâs certainly a deja vu, because the scene thatâs unfolding is exactly the same as what happened last week.Â
You are sitting inside the conference room, with Yoongi and Mrs. Lee and there is Jeon Jungkook sitting right across from you.Â
The only thing that seems changed today is his attitude - which is a little more tamed.Â
And oh⌠your clothes too.Â
âThis is so nice of you to come forward and ask for a meeting after whatever happened last time.â Mrs. Lee speaks in a sickeningly sweet tone. You wanna roll your eyes but decide against it.Â
âAh. no no. Miss Y/N is really competent at what she does. The credit goes to her. Even though things went south for the first time, we figured out that we actually are very compatible and working together will be beneficial for both of us. Right?â Jungkook directs his question towards you.Â
âUh- yeah. Hahahaha. Yeah.â you honestly donât know what to reply. He is obviously faking it and you need to fake it too but Yoongi is sitting right beside you and he is staring at you and you are on the verge of losing your sanity.Â
âIâm sorry if I am overstepping any boundaries but I canât help being curious if the rumors are true?â Yoongi barges in. He looks at you and then Jungkook, expecting an answer or a reaction.Â
Before you can say something - something you donât even know what, Jungkook decides to answer.Â
âOnly time will tell.â he smiles at Yoongi.Â
The amount of weird glances you are receiving from your colleagues is astronomical.Â
For most of them itâs just eyeing you up and down and for some of the brave ones, itâs throwing impromptu comments like âoh, Y/N is a celeb now.âÂ
You want to punch them on their faces.Â
Nevertheless, you donât want a new trouble right when you manage to fight one crisis in exchange for your name and relationship status.Â
You scroll through company social media accounts and start planning for all the new content thatâs going to drop as soon as Jungkookâs done with the photoshoot.Â
Your phone chimes with a notification. When take it in your hand to see itâs a text from the devil himself:Â
âIn front of the parking lot. Come in five minutes.âÂ
Your eyes close in frustration. You havenât even stepped into the deal properly and he has started ordering you already.Â
But what can you even do, you dug your own grave after all.Â
It takes you seven minutes to reach the parking lot - obviously because you work on the sixteenth floor and the elevators donât run on your will.Â
When you find Jungkook waiting for you at the mentioned location with his bike, you find him kind of intriguing.Â
Itâs been long, embarrassingly long, since you have had a guy waiting for you. Even though you know itâs fake. You can turn blind eye for a moment and let yourself believe otherwise.Â
âYou are late.â he says with a pout.Â
You lose your sanity only a little.Â
âSorry. The elevator didnât listen to me when I asked it to run fast.â you reply.Â
âHaha. very funny.â he replies animatedly then reaches for his backpack and plucks out a document folder.Â
âWhat is this?â you question naturally.Â
âThe dating contract for our fake relationship.â he shrugs, extending the folder towards you, âHyung asked you to go through it meticulously. You can add or reduce any term you donât see fit. We will finalize it and announce our fake relationship officially once you are done. You have time till Friday.â he recites flatly, âalso, you canât tell anyone just yet. Got it?âÂ
âYeah, yeah. Whatever-â
âY/N?â someone calls you and itâs not Jungkook.Â
You whip your head to see Yoongi is standing a few feets away inside the parking space with keys in his hand.Â
Your stomach feels funny at his unreadable expression.Â
And then you feel a pair or lips pressing down on your cheeks.Â
Jungkook kisses you before parting and saying, âHasta la vista, babyâ Â
You freeze at your stop. You can see Yoongiâs eyes narrowing on you. Jungkook hops on his bike and leaves within a moment.Â
You stand there, staring apologetically at the man you like and he sports an expression you canât comprehend.Â
âSo.. the rumors were true, huh?â Yoongi finally voices after what feels like an eternity.Â
âNo- I-â also, you canât tell anyone just yet. Got it? Jungkookâs words reel inside your head, âyesâ you lie, crossing your fingers behind you.Â
âCongratulationsâ Yoongi greets before flashing his gummy smile at you and then leaving you there to look for his car.Â
âYou really donât care, do you?â you ask him. Even though you know he canât hear you. There is a mixture of different emotions inside your gut and you are way too tired to name any of those.

hiii Iâm curious : whatâs your process for creating your stories? like character development, plotting, creating arcs, etc?
thank you for asking !!! i'm going to get way longer and more thorough about this than necessary I feel it in my bones so I'm going to read more this now (I included a few tidbits from my miro board for carry the blade :) )
it's such a mixed bag ! part of this is my adhd lmao, and part of it is because, genuinely, I think each story needs something different.
almost ALWAYS (with one rare exception of a sci/fi fantasy world I've been building for years) I start with character, especially in original work. Because character is everything it's who we're following it's what the audience/readership will grab onto. Usually I have a basic premise and setting already there, but I don't build on it until I get to know who we're dealing with in the story. And then after building up the premise, setting, and plot I do even more character work after.
sometimes.... sometimes I get really impatient to start and start writing half way through the planning process. But anyways.
so I come up with character. do the basics. think about what their deal is. What is the journey they need to have, the lesson they need to learn, what themes and emotions do I want to explore with this character? Why is she important to me? Why will she be important to others?
I also think a lot about relationships
i just wrote a coming of age dramatic comedy for instance, and for that one, I broke up the story into my protagonists relationships. Wrote out the arc/story of each relationship and then combined each of these arcs into the key points that made up the film. Each relationship I wanted to be relevant to her grieving process, as she had just lost her mother. IDK if that makes sense. I wish I could show you but unfortunately I cannot.
for fic its honestly similar, but we already know character, so I usually ask what about this character/these characters am I most excited to explore.
that being said, coming home came to me in the idea for what they'd be like in modern day, and then a single idea for a single scene - their first kiss in the lab. I wrote that first, then asked myself what the context I wanted to give it was. Of course, I changed it a little once I actually got to writing and fleshing out chapter eight.
but this fantasy fic i'm writing is a fun example. I'm building out a lot. I'm building out characters, the world, the themes. - using visuals to help me kind of guide myself.
but because I have adhd and get impatient. I am outlining throughout this process to keep myself entertained. perhaps ideally you'd figure out everything first then outline then write but my brain just doesn't work that way.
in fics, especially, the relationship is so important that I really like to see how the obstacles they face, both due to their own psychology and internal pressures, can reflect the themes, create tension, etc.
but i also like to reflect on side characters too - their motivations and desires. So they don't just become like - flat little reflections of the central love story.
Finally, and this i learned from acting theory mostly - but I love it - is in each scene I like to think of what each character wants, what they are going to do to try and get that, and why they want it. In this fic, wants are something I also look at from a chapter by chapter basis.
side note - and i'm only saying this this far down so hopefully not too may people will see it - but I do have a secret subplot going on throughout the first half of this story that the audience doesn't know about.
in order to make this work I've been mapping out everything going on behind the scenes, and making sure they pair up well with events that people reading will see. it helps me plant little hints and seeds while hopefully not giving too much away (secret subplot in blue, actual story in red)
sorry i know this is such a ramble I just took my meds and had a double shot of expresso so I am buzzing right now lmao! Obviously I'm not the expert and there's not only one way. And also it really is so different for me every time. It's important to think about what the story actually calls for !
#ask bee#also coming home was outlined in my notes app#and even with the outline so much was spontaneous#a lot changed and evolved as i wote which usually happens but with this one even more so#again it was a depression project first and foremost#so i was really chasing what made me happy and excited over anything else

I think the thing people aren't acknowledging about WWDITS is that yeah the main characters are all queer. And yet, the only established and long lasting main couple is M/F, regardless of how many jokes are made about them also being queer. im not saying bi/pan m/f rep isnt important, but it is relevant to note. most of the mentions of other characters being queer (besides Guillermo being gay) are basically "promiscuous bisexuality is funny and surprising" when you actually think about them seriously. I actually hated everything with lazlo's dad, ngl. looking back at the entire shitfest of season 6, it feels like everyone gives its "representation" too much credit when defending its shipbaiting. like you understand this was intentional, and it's obvious the intent was never to actually deliver on queer relationships long term, even if it gives us queer characters? like, it's cool that you have queer characters, but are you doing to deliver on what you've been implying regarding them?
we get heartwarming moment after heartwarming moment with Lazlo and Nadja. idk I don't think it's Evil but I think a lot.of us collectively gave it too much credit for how much it actually gave a shit. it's a sitcom, and it made it soo clear, and we're pissed at realizing it.
idk, but looking back, a lot of shipbaiting and jokes reslly feel kind of mean-spirited and mocking. like we know you CAN write meaningful relationships, everything with nandor and Guillermo this season was leading up to the extreme improvement in their relationship and interactions, soooo.
I think people who are pissed really deserve to be bc it really leaves a bad taste in your mouth bc you KNOW. the shipbaiting was deliberate. n we'd rather be funny here than actually deliver on queer relationships and happiness. and it's always been that way, and that isn't EVIL or anything , I guess, and it's fine, but it sucks that I gave it too much credit thinking otherwise because I want happy m/m relationship rep or something lol
feels like a slap in the face to people who just wanted something nice!!! I'm not a shipper, I don't exist in the wwdits Fandom, I'm just a queer fan that was eagerly hoping they'd actually have a payoff for all they were doing!!
#wwdits#im literally only.blogging about this for the first time ever#i dont rven like men and i dont like fanfic 95% of the time#i just wanted something Nice#wwdits spoilers#q slur#wwdits finale#wwdits critical
