[aphrogeneias]

Rockstar!Eddie who has a crush on assistant!reader and has her running after him, after he comes to her with long list of demands and requests, only he doesn't really need her help at all, it's just an excuse to see her.

“These guys realize they're not Sabbath, right?” Rick sighs, “Like, what the fuck is this?”

Your boss barely even moves from where he's sprawled over one of the lounge chairs by the pool. When you arrived, he had to dismiss the girl that was sitting with him — on him, really — just to have you hand him the handwritten note without any preamble.

You don't know what to say.

“I, uh… I have no idea. Some roadie delivered me this and literally ran off. I think it's a prank, honestly.” You sigh.

It's a handwritten list of dressing room demands. A fur rug, expensive champagne, only red M&M's… the list went on. Quite ridiculous for a band on their first solo tour, playing on small venues across the country. Quite ridiculous for anybody.

To be honest, it disappointed you a little. You like these boys, which was more than you could say about the bands you've worked with in the past. Corroded Coffin came from nowhere, and while they aren't going anywhere soon, they are happy to just do whatever it takes to play their music, and you respect that.

This isn't very much like them.

Rick pinches the bridge of his nose, before pulling his sunglasses up, straightening them on his eyes. HE doesn't look directly at you as he gives you the piece of paper back, a silent dismissal. “Check it out with Munson. This bullshit has got his goblin little fingers all over it.”

You're happy the older man doesn't see how flustered you get at the mention of Coffin’s frontmen, and you're even happier to scramble out of there to hide the nervous smile that dares to rise to your lips.

Eddie Munson makes you nervous, more than you'd like to admit.

It's either his intense stare, those deep brown eyes that seem to know everyone's every secret — and you don't doubt they might — or the general aura of danger he exudes. Or, even, the sweet dimpled smile he tried to hide behind his hair, or the doodles he made during long meetings, or…

Maybe it's all of these things, but truth be told, it's probably also the way he makes you feel like you're the only person in the room when he looks at you, when you were supposed to be invisible beside Rick while he does his job.

You wonder if he does that to every girl he meets.

The elevator and the halls are a blur until you reach his door. Room 707, and you can hear the low strumming of an unplugged guitar from the inside, something that sounds like blues. You almost forget to knock, but when you do, the sound stops.

Eddie answers the door, then. “Oh, hi.”

The shirt with the cropped sleeves he's wearing shows off his arms, and the tattoos adorning it. You try not to stare at them as he holds the door open, not sparing you of his charming smile.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?”

Instead of answering with the same sweetness, you get too ahead of yourself. “Is this a prank, Munson?”

You hand him the piece of paper back, and his expression changes immediately. A pink flush rushes over his cheeks, and he stares at it, as if he suddenly can't keep meeting your eyes.

You'd never seen him like that.

“Oh. Uh. Not a prank, no…” He stumbles over his words, letting out a nervous chuckle. “It's a…”

“Because it's gotta be a joke, and a bad one at that.” You stand your ground. “We couldn't even do that if we had a big budget, but with the one we have? You're lucky we even have water and towels at most venues…”

“It's not a joke, I promise. It's just that…” He interrupts your rant, looking away and sighing, then he moves closer, narrowing his eyes. “Can I level with you?”

“Please do.” You cross your arms, trying not to seem intimidated by his closeness.

“I didn't know how else to get your attention."

Your eyebrows shoot up, “You what?”

“I figured that if I wrote something stupid enough, Rick would send you to confront me because he doesn't have the balls to do it himself,” Eddie's flustered expression recovers into a confident grin, “and I was right.”

Swallowing back the nervous butterflies that seem to fly from your stomach and overflow through your body, you breathe out. “You thought you needed all this just for me to talk to you?”

“It worked, didn't it?”

You take a step back, trying to understand what just happened. His grin is infectious, because you smile despite yourself. “Next time, just say something. You'd be surprised.”

As you start walking away, backwards, still looking at him, Eddie gives you an unreadable look. He nods, though, lips trying to fight a bigger smile. “Next time?”

“For any professional inquiries, of course."

Finally, you turn your back, making your way back to the elevator. You meant what you said, but you know that's not what he meant.

"Professional. Sure."

The door clicked shut once again.

matched sexual energy - rindou haitani🩶

🩶relationship drabble collection - valentine event. minors, blank, ageless, dni

🩶that mf be hittin them gd splits don't he LOL. fem reader.

🩶cw: oral (f!receiving), dirty talk, sexual intercourse implied

🩶dividers by @/cafekitsune

🩶wc: 707

You were lying in your bed waiting for Rindou to get out of his meeting since he'd texted you earlier and said that he was coming over.

----

The two of you had met in the most mundane of places - the grocery store.

He had a basket full of liquour and cigarettes, which was odd, but you didn't question it.

You rang him up quickly and he slipped you a black card, making your eyes widen slightly before you took it from his gloved hand and stuck it in the reader.

"Have a wonderful day."

"You too, sweetheart."

You weren't expecting him to say that, and he seemed to notice it since he sent you a smirk from his peripheral before grabbing his bags and exiting the store.

----

You ran into Rindou at that store quite a few times after that, until he finally asked for your number.

It wasn't until later that you found out that he was in a gang, but that didn't deter you from seeing him whenever he called for you.

"What's up, baby?" He called as he stepped inside your apartment. He used his key to get in, which made sense since he was paying for it.

"Hi Rinnie..." You cooed sweetly once his slim figure slipped through your bedroom door. Rindou grinned at you.

"Why are you hiding underneath the covers? Don't tell me you're getting shy on me, baby girl?"

He began unbuttoning his uniform jacket as he strode over to you.

With a small shake of your head, you threw back the covers revealing your nude body, which is exactly how he instructed you to be.

"I never met a girl like you, baby. Always so fucking ready for me to come and ruin you.." He gripped your jaw and tilted your head up to look into his shining, violet eyes.

"Never have to ask you twice, you always know exactly what I need from you." You smiled and seductively bit down on your bottom lip, causing him to lean in and press his lips against yours.

His three-toned hair brushed against your forehead and you brought your hands up to run your fingers through it.

After a few minutes, he pulled away from the kiss with a thick string of saliva connecting your lips and shook your head side to side.

"I know. You want to freak in the morning and freak in the evening; I think I've got the schedule figured out by now, Rinnie. You know you can come see me anytime because you always know just what to do."

"Mhmm, I know what to do, baby?" He rolled his eyes, but he was smiling.

Rindou then began taking off his watch, glasses, and rings to set them on your bedside table when you grabbed his hand to stop him.

"Leave them on, Rin. Want to feel them wrapped around my neck tonight." He let out a little chuckle and squinted his eyes at you.

"Freaky ass girl."

He grabbed your thighs and dug his fingers in, knowing that the rings would leave indents. That's just how he liked it; they had his initials engraved on them, which meant in turn they'd be engraved on you.

"Oh fuck, Rin!" You moaned as he began licking you in earnest, his face completely buried between your spread thighs.

He stayed down there for a good twenty minutes, just licking you out until you came into his mouth, twice.

"Good thing I took my glasses off." He brought his hand up to wipe his cheeks and nose from from where you had squirted on him.

"God, you're so sexy, Rin." You moaned as you came down from your orgasm. The tattoos on his neck and torso always turned you on so much.

"Yeah, baby? You think I'm sexy?"

"So sexy, Rinnie." You gave him that signature pouty look that you know drives his crazy.

"Fuck, turn over for me. Arch that back, gunna put this dick inside you now."

You and Rindou went well into the night, switching between multiple positions and just fucking each other's brains out.

He'd always keep coming back to you because no one could keep up with his sexual appetite the way that you could.

707 / Luciel / Saeyoung Choi Headcanons I Have

‼️⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️‼️

• Has ADHD but if anyone brings it up he brushes it off because he thinks it makes him lesser. He’s not ableist he just needs to be educated :(

• I know in the official art he’s pretty pale but I hc him as having tanner skin and some freckles

• Has an undiagnosed personality disorder probably

• Too paranoid to go to church in person so he made a personal shrine in his home that he makes sure to spend time at

• Hates seeing his father on TV because it reminds him how similar they look. He’ll go into a weeks long depression every time where he’ll avoid mirrors because all he sees is his mother and father

• Loves cross dressing but is too scared to think deeply and self reflect about the gender euphoria it gives him because Korea isn’t very accepting

• Hated college because he felt like it was too structured and he doesn’t like being told what to do

• His favorite color is red (obviously)

• Doesn’t want or have any tattoos

• Most of the decor in his house was handmade impulsively and placed somewhere random

• Ultimately wants to move out of the bunker and into a more realistic house with no sci-fi-like doorbells or weapons but his paranoia stops him

• Sometimes stays up till the morning watching security cams in and around the bunker out of fear someone will try and hurt Saeran or MC

• Loves the dopamine hit that buying new cars gives him. It’s almost addicting impulse buying expensive things

• Desperately needs someone to match his neurodivergentness and thankfully his twin brother does perfectly

• His glasses are constantly dirty he never cleans those mfs

• Likes to paint his nails black but it’s always cracked and messed up

• Him and Saeran made up a secret language that they refuse to teach anyone else, even MC

• Welded flowers and spray painted them for him and MC’s anniversary (Saeran told him which flowers to make bc he knows their meanings)

• MC’s engagement ring is a Ruby (to represent Saeyoung) and whatever stone is MC’s favorite swirling together to look like a binary star system

• We know in his route that he has muscles because of his work, but after he runs from the agency, MC noticed some of his bulkiness going away

• But he still keeps a lot of his muscle, he just has some more squishiness around his torso

• Regrets his bunker not having windows because he knows Saeran loves looking at the sky

• Builds a garden in his backyard for Saeran :)

• Too paranoid to get a therapist so one of his more toxic traits is using MC as a therapist

• Goes through periods of not sharing anything emotionally with MC & sharing way too much and borderline dumping all his shit on them

• Has bad abandonment issues

• Loves experimenting with makeup and showing Saeran and MC

• Has both an inferiority and superiority complex

• Owns an obsessive amount of stuffed animals and yes, they all have names

• Idk if this is canon or not but he has curly hair

• I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned this already but I hc him as bisexual (he literally mentioned at some point that V’s voice was his type)

• And since it’s basically canon he at least finds V attractive and V is more of a parental/guardian figure to him, I can conclude Saeyoung 100% has daddy issues (duh)

• Has had feelings for Vanderwood at some point

• Horrible at personal hygiene

• Doesn’t drink or do drugs (canon)

• He’s a compulsive liar :/

• Wants a cat but is so bad at taking care of himself he doesn’t trust himself taking care of an animal

• Has staff constellation, and planet stickers & posters all over his room (he’s a nerd)

• Learns sign language so when he’s mad at MC or Saeran he only communicates through sign to piss them off

• Wayyyyyyy too comfy invading people’s personal and cyber privacy because of his line of work

• Lactose intolerant because I think it’s funny

• Light sleeper because of the house he grew up in and his work at the agency

• Kind of apathetic to traumatic things other people go through if it wasn’t as “bad” as his. Not in a “I think I’m better than you” kind of way, but in a way where some issues just don’t compare to an abusive, alcoholic mother, a politician father who wants to kill him, being a secret agent made to do who knows what, and more.

• Catches up on childhood by indulging in childish hobbies and interests. He’s making up for the lost time :(

• His tummy always hurts from his horrible diet

• His cologne smells like apple spice (it’s actually a perfume for women but who cares)

• But tbh on the daily he smells like a mix of his basic masculine body wash, honey buddah chips, and grease (sorry)

• Very protective. Takes on a caretaker role for those closest to him

• Sometimes very controlling. Gets anxious when he can’t control everything around him.

• Acts very parental towards Saeran. He always did because he had to in their childhood, but Saeyoing still does it. It makes him feel good being able to properly provide for Saeran.

• He mentioned in his route that he never really wanted or thought about having a family other than Saeran, and I feel like he would still think the same after meeting MC. Just now he thinks of his family as just him, Saeran, and MC. I don’t think he’d want kids

• Literally never cleans his sheets…

• Can only convince himself to clean anything in his house because he doesn’t want Saeran to have to live in filth again

My first post. I just wanted to share these :)

[mxsticmess]

this is literally so good i love this!!!!!! it’s such a new and unique concept for seven that i absolutely love 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dye

Saeyoung Choi is sick of having red hair. 

It’s three in the morning as the redhead stands in front of the mirror in his bathroom, golden eyes tired and body covered in nothing but a black tank-top and matching boxer shorts. He’s exhausted and should really be in bed considering that he has to take Saeran to therapy at eight, but his dreams have rendered him unable to sleep yet again. He drums his fingers against the edge of the marble that lines the counter, his eyes on the two boxes of bleach and the box of toner that are sat there. 

There’s a shower cap over his hair, that of which is soaking in a copious amount of coconut oil. It’s been that way for a few hours, just as the tutorial he googled at 12AM told him. As he follows the instructions on the first bottle of bleach to develop it before pulling out his phone and logging into the RFA chatroom. 

707 has entered the chatroom.

Keep reading

✧ CW: GN!reader x Gyutaro

✧ AN: So, this is hard because I'm trying to think of a way that someone could have a tattoo of Gyutaro (knowing of him, but having this be a first meeting) but still have it be canon. It's as if canon Gyutaro was thrown into the modern world. Let's just ignore the fine details and I can make this work. I pretty much ended up basing this version of Gyutaro on tumblr Gyutaro.

✧ WC: 707

How the hell did you manage to get into this situation? Most people would kill to be in your place, but this truly wasn't your intention. You hadn't planned on stumbling across the one guy you may have a tiny obsession over. But that's not all, did I mention he's also a demon with an unquenchable thirst for human blood? It should've made you think twice before crushing on him so hard.

But now you find yourself in a predicament, pinned against the cold, wet asphalt. With Gyutaro's body hovering above you, holding your arms down so you can't fight back.

It was all a coincidence really, he thought you looked tasty and he was feeling hungry so, why not?

He took you down easy enough. Hell, you weren't even putting up a fight! Just staring at him with those big doe eyes of yours. He leans in closer, ready to indulge in such an easy meal. Maybe he'll tear off your arm and enjoy the melody of your pained screams.

But as he leans in closer to your arm, ready to tear you apart, he sees a familiar face.

"Is that...? Me?!" He thinks to himself, "There's no way this lady has a tattoo of me."

He leans in even closer, closing his mouth and squinting his eyes. He scoffs and his lips curl in disgust.

"What's wrong with you?" he says coldly, sitting up but still straddling your waist so you can't get away.

"E-Excuse me?" you whimper. Not sure if you're overwhelmed by the fact that he was about to kill you or that you're so close to your crush.

"The fuck is wrong with you lady?!" He yells in annoyance, "You fuckin' got me tattooed on your skin?" He roughly grabs your arm and lifts it, showing you the tattoo as if you haven't seen it already.

"I um..." it takes you a moment to compose your words, too embarrassed by his harsh judgement. You don't want him to think ill of you. This isn't the first impression you wanted!

Taking a deep breath, you finally speak, "I did. I got a tattoo of you... because you're my favorite guy."

He sits there in silence, raising his brow quizzically.

"Tsk- What an utter disgrace you are. Ruining your perfect skin with something as unsightly as my face" he scoffs and releases your arm from his grasp, "pathetic."

His harsh words put you on the verge of tears. Maybe you were dumb for thinking he'd actually like it. You sit there, letting the weight of his judgment bear down on you. But then you realize, he doesn't hate the tattoo, he just hates himself.

"Gyutaro, that's not true at all!" You grab his wrist just as he was getting off of you, "I got this tattoo because I thought it was beautiful! Every time I see it I can't help but smile. It makes me happy, and there's nothing I rather look at every day for the rest of my life."

His eyes widen, and his lips close into a slight frown. Your words have really caught him off guard, no one has ever said such a thing to him. For a moment he questions if you really mean it. But you must if you went through the trouble of actually getting that tattoo.

Gyutaro's body moves on it's own as he leans forward and embraces you in a tight hug. He doesn't understand why, but when you said that to him it made him want to be closer to you. His heart skipped a beat and he felt as light as air.

It was a good feeling. Something he's never experienced before.

"Oh!" you gasp when he hugs you. You're just as surprised as he is by his actions, but of course it's something you welcome. Wrapping your arms around him, laying your cheek against his shoulder.

He nuzzles his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling your scent. He doesn't know what comes after this, or what he should do. But he knows that he will ingrain your scent into his memory. Because he's never going to let go of the human that made him feel beautiful for the first time.

[marshmallowprotection]

The scene where Vanderwood kidnaps Saeran thinking he’s Saeyoung is so funny to me until I think about how Saeran must’ve felt having done SO MUCH to not look like Saeyoung and still getting mistaken for him :(

[Oh, you're going to love looking at this post I wrote about Unknown's tattoo and the subsequent feelings that follow.]

Do you want to know the true reason why he bleached his hair to the roots? Do you want to know why there's some pink in his hair when it doesn't appear as though he did it on purpose? Do you want to know why his dye job looks so haphazard no matter how you try to imagine how he did it?

Do you want to know why he looks so drastically different from the last time his brother saw his face? Do you want to know why he has denied himself of his reflection after all these years? Do you want to know why he breaks every mirror he ever comes into contact with?

Do you want to know why he wants nothing to do with his mirror image?

Do you want to know why he doesn't want to look like his twin anymore? 

707 Route, Day 10.

707 Route, Day 10.

Ray Route, Day 10.

Ray's Diary, Special Believer Box.

The Elixir made him feel so sick to his stomach that he couldn't stand anything in the world around him.

The only thing he could think about was the awful, immeasurable pain burning in his veins. There was nothing that could make the pain stop except going along with everything they told him. He had to just listen to everything they said, even if it didn't make sense, even if it sounded like a lie, and no matter how many times he tried to beg and plead, they ignored him and made sure that he did what they wanted him to do.

Over and over and over and over. They tortured him until he believed the twin brother he loved so much was actually a liar who abandoned him and left him to burn. 

They trained him to hate his brother so much that the thought of him made him want to vomit, and the idea of seeing his face made him want to claw his skin off.

Even the mention of his name was capable of forcing him to have a visceral reaction, and he admits to this himself to the player as they spend their evening together in the cabin, talking about the best way to handle the situation they're both in, to turn to the RFA now or to let them fend for themselves as he comes to terms with the fact that he didn't know what actually happened to his twin brother when the two of them were separated. 

They manipulate him to believe his brother is somebody who stole everything away from him to have a chance at freedom. His brother threw him away so that he could have the opportunity to live a free life without a burden clinging to him. The burden being him. So, his brother stole everything from him, and he concludes that his brother stole his appearance from him as well.

He isn't allowed to even be who he was before his brother abandoned him as far as he knows, and now he has to change himself drastically to be able to look at himself in the mirror. If he doesn't get rid of it then he's going to feel sick every time he stares at his reflection. If he doesn't get rid of it, he's never going to be able to get anything done, because it's going to set off the anger they can instilled in him.

He can't stomach looking at himself because he looks like the person he was trained to hate. His brother took his red hair from him and he can't have it anymore. He's lost something that he should have been able to have forever, and he has to erase it.

That bleach job was done haphazardly and that's why there are pink streaks left in his hair. He wanted to get rid of the color as quickly as possible and the only thing he could think of doing was styling his hair as quickly as he could burn out the horrible image he saw in the mirror every damn time he had the absolute misfortune of stepping into a place where there would be a reflective surface.

He continues to do that over and over again, which leads me to believe his hair is fried to no end. He has to do whatever he can to make sure he doesn't look like his brother, and it makes him angry that he has to do that in the first place.

He went as far as humanly possible to make himself look nothing like his brother so he could look in the mirror. As far as he believes for the longest time, he simply can't look the way he used to because his big brother stole it.

Just like his brother stole his freedom. So, to be put in a position where somebody says he looks just like his brother only fuels his fire. It makes him feel awful inside. It makes him feel disgusted. How dare anybody say he looks like the person who stole everything from him! 

The eyes are a byproduct of the elixir, but the hair is something he got rid of on his own. He got rid of it because there was no way he could get any work done if he continued to see a reflection that made him feel like he was going to explode.

How could he get work done if he was trained to hate his reflection?

He sees his brother every time he has red hair and he can't have red hair if it gets in the way of his work.

He has to get rid of it so he doesn't feel sick to the point of rage. 

So, does it make sense now why he feels such a visual reaction whenever somebody says he looks like his brother? When you tell him he looks like his brother, the only thing he can think about is how his brother took his freedom away from him and his appearance by extension, and if you point out what he feels was taken from him, it's going to set off a chain reaction of responses that were manipulated into him over years of long and horrible torture.

It's no wonder he lashes out the way he does when somebody says those words. 

You know, I think the most difficult thing when it comes to SE Saeran is the fact that I have never believed for a second that he dyed his hair back. His brother probably, more likely than not, wouldn't let him near anything that could be hazardous to his health by himself after the attempts he made on his life. If he told him that he wasn't allowed to be alone with material that could help him continue to bleach his hair, he would give up on doing his hair ever again.

He wouldn't bother to do it again because he doesn't want to be babysat. He's been robbed of his autonomy enough, and if you tell him he can't do it, he's just not going to do it. Saeyoung means well, he truly does, but Saeran has a long road of recovery ahead of him... in a world where he's been left apathetic to everything.

I don't think he goes into rooms that have mirrors if he can help it, even after months of being free from Mint Eye. If he does, he goes out of his way to keep his head down low so he doesn't have to see the red hair looking back at him. It's a sensitive subject for him in every sense of the word. 

I also don't think he interacts with anybody that's in the RFA. I know a lot of people write about him becoming friends with the members as he gets used to being around them, but I can't see it happening, That just doesn't pan out for him.

Not only would he be struggling with the guilt he carries about what he did to all of them, this does not even include the fact that Yoosung and Jumin remind him of Rika and V in a way that makes his stomach knot, he would also know that they are nice to him because he’s Saeyoung’s twin. It's not like any of them are going to go out of their way to be his friend because they want to get to know him, they would be doing it for the sake of his brother, and that's not exactly a good way to make friends.

That's the way he would see it. 

He doesn't want to be an extension of his brother. You know, the way that they survived was always living by the words “you are me and I am you”; But, right now in their lives as it stands? Those words are... twisted up and tangled with pain that is hard to fathom. Yet, they're the words that Saeyoung uses to bring SE Saeran back from the end of life and death when they talk.

[Now would be a great time to point to my post on Parentification, and how Saeyoung struggles to fall out of the role of a parent to his brother.]

Saeran is a character who wants to be an individual. But, since he is a twin, it's a complicated song and dance to find his sense of self. It's going to take even longer because he spent his entire life being an extension of his brother to be able to survive, and being what Rika wanted him to be. Even in that brief time when he was staying with Rika and V, he wasn’t able to find himself, not wholly.

The only things that he was able to learn about himself were that he loved flowers and he liked to bake. Those are interest that he keeps no matter how far he goes through what they put him through, but he wasn't able to find much out about himself but those two facts, it's good that he was able to have those, but he doesn't know who he is outside of being what others want him to be, and the two things he's ever enjoyed.

Chains of Confusion Ep. 5

@slayerkitty, another episode of Chains of Heart, another day NO ONE ASKS ABOUT THE DAMN GLOVES?!

Lue squeezed the mayor's hand so tightly, yet nobody mentioned one thing about the gloves?! Out of everything in this show, this is the most unbelievable to me.

Much like how unbelievable that Ken was strangled AGAIN! If you are keeping track of how many times Ken gets choked/strangled, the show is consistent with making it each episode.

Please don't tell me Lue is crazy enough to beat Ken up, then show up later like HE DIDN'T JUST BEAT HIM UP!

Odd choice, so I hope it was Nok who attacked Ken, but then why not just kill Ken? But it's even stranger that Lue carries a change of clothes with him, so he can fight crime no matter the time.

Nok threatens Ken to go back to Taiwan. Lue threatens Ken to go back to Taiwan. So why not team up and get Ken back to Taiwan, together? Oh, that's right. KEN WAS ATTACKED IN TAIWAN TOO. Payu of all people brought up that little nugget this episode.

Which reminds me that I actually trusted Payu this episode, and as usual, Hin gave me life with his quick quips like telling Ken to stop staring into Lue's eyes and his dinner conversation.

But back to the fight - Why did the band keep playing like it was the damn Titanic?! Food was being tossed around as well as human bodies, and the band was like "gotta earn that paycheck!"

And why is Nok quick to kill everyone else, but not these two?! Why couldn't Ken and Lue take him out?

Lue has to be Din. HE HAS TO BE! He confessed that he LOVES Ken, and he has the necklace.

The monk had to have clocked him. That is the look of an old man who is over this bullshit.

And Lue has all those scars.

But what does that tattoo mean? And why hide that he is Din from Ken?

If Lue is Din, who is leaving flowers for his mom, why doesn't he react to seeing his family? His family thinks he is dead, and they believe Lue is a bad guy, so why does Lue show no emotion around them? Or is that why he is befriending old friends?

@pharawee mentioned that Lue saying he was staying in room 707 was a nod to Din and Ken promising to meet on the 7th day of the 7th month for the festival of the two torn-apart lovers (which reminds of of something from Midnight Museum), so like...

Din, is that you player?

[accidentally-in-fictional-love]

for no reason in particular, do you have any tattoo headcanons for the phoenixes? ones beyond the 3RP tattoo you think they might have, should have, etc?

Thank you so much /)w(\ The only headcanons I have are boring despite loving tattoos hehe like I know Ethan's is actually Mena's, so I dunno if this counts, but either way I did start wondering if he got it in-world to represent his dad, since they never covered it up.

I really love the idea of Johnson having tattoos underneath all those layers uhuhuhu~ in my selfship plot I gave him a phoenix on his right bicep (to replace David's) to match Addy's coverup on her left shoulder, but other than that I've got nothing OTL I do extremely adore the ones you gave him in your art though, that web around his elbow changed me on a visceral level I swear 😳

As for Matty, because I've always seen him as so driven to get the 707 on his neck, he doesn't think about anything else other than working towards that, so he's the only one without anything, but in a 'they're all dating sense' I do also really love the idea of them getting something that matches, something more permanent than rings and more special to them than the rivers that so many others share. Maybe in my fic I'll give them all 115 somewhere hidden, just for them since that place is their second home 🥰

MM Classpecting: Saeran Part 1

Zen Classpect

Yoosung Classpect

Jaehee Classpect

Jumin Classpect

707 Classpect

V Classpect

This is the 7th addition to my very long string of posts, where I Homestuck classpect Mystic Messenger characters. I explained in my very first post with Zen how I go about doing this. For Saeran I will split it into 2 parts because... I have a lot to say. buckle up this is real long, even compared to the previous posts.

Personality/General Info:  Depends on which story we’re talking about. Generally: is a good hacker like his brother. Likes cooking and gardening. Weak constitution. Used to be sweet and gentle as a child, but grew up to become aggressive and rage-fueled.

Great ambition to get revenge against Saeyoung, believing that he abandoned him. As a child, saw him as his most precious companion. When Saeyoung left, it brought pain and grief. Rika manipulated him into believing that he abandoned him on purpose, causing Saeran to feel intense rage and hatred for his brother. Considers V a traitor for taking Saeyoung away. Everything they say to him is considered a lie. Saeran wants to inflict as much pain on Saeyoung as he could (killing or torturing MC in some BEs, though doing that is a last resort).

Saeran’s devotion to Mint Eye is great, to the point he is considered one of the most faithful followers. He even has a Mint Eye tattoo on his arm. In Deep/Casual, not only does his thirst for revenge blind him, but the anger towards the abuse he suffered at the hands of his own mother consumes him, and thus he'll easily abuse others to let out his anger even when he hasn't been part of Mint Eye for months (Yoosung's Bad End 3), or lash out violently when his plans aren't successful (Yoosung's route) to the point he blinds Yoosung's left eye when he stops him from detonating a bomb in MC's location with her in it.

Despite Mint Eye's manipulation having a hand in shaping his personality for the worse, he admits violence comforts him outside of the cult even after being weaned out of drugs, however, he's shown to have deep remorse over these bad actions after his anger subsides and is capable of improving to be a less harmful person, slowly becoming the warm person he used to be.

In the Secret Ending 2, Saeran begins to overcome his emotional trauma(s). After being rescued from Mint Eye following a major mental breakdown, Saeran's aggressiveness escalates and he refuses to trust anyone ever again due to his deep fear that he will be betrayed and abandoned again. Slowly and reluctantly, he begins to believe that Seven is being truthful and won't abandon him again, which makes his anger subside despite the path of recovery being a rocky one. By the end of 707's Secret Ending, Saeran is a lot stabler compared to how he was before and he joins the RFA, being its newest member now, thus marking his road to recovery and becoming his own person away from Mint Eye.

In Another Story there are 2 personalities: Ray and Saeran. The two personalities are aware of each other and seem to be able to communicate with one another.

Role in Narrative: Antagonist in main og story. Is important to main story, and is one of Saeyoung’s main character motivations. Most of his actions pertain to serving Mint Eye, but he also serves his own interests by taking revenge against Saeyoung. That was his main motivation: to serve Mint Eye for the sake of enacting revenge. He also genuinely believed in Mint Eye’s cause, but learns that it was all a lie. He must move past all of his pain and rage to live a better life with his brother and the RFA. Saeran kills V. He destroyed his life. He destroys Yoosung’s sight, psyche, etc. Tries to destroy the RFA.

Active or Passive: He could be passive (+) because he does things to benefit Mint Eye. But, he uses his position at Mint Eye to exact revenge against Saeyoung, which could be seen as active (-)...

I have multiple classpects that I'm considering for Saeran. He is a difficult character to parse, after all. So, I will split this into 2 posts, each focusing on 1 interpretation for his possible Classpect.

Classpect Interpretation 1:

Page of Heart (-) - One who serves Heart, or serves through Heart for themselves.

How this applies to Saeran: The description for Pages at their worst is how I would describe Unknown. Manipulative, selfish, and infuriating. Saeran created a persona as Unknown, hiding behind it. He doesn’t want to be the ‘weak’ Saeran, but the strong Unknown. Despite trying to be ‘strong’, Saeran was always gentle and innocent inside. He clings to the lie that Rika and Mint Eye presented to him, instead of believing Saeyoung when he says he didn’t abandon him. He clings to what he is used to. Pages can still be very perceptive though, but avoid unpleasant topics/truths behind their persona, and we see this with Saeran. In the SEs he starts having an internal conflict about his brother, if he really abandoned him or not. He retreats back to his Unknown persona, protecting himself, running away from reality. Other instances where he doesn’t take accountability and retreats to his persona is… killing V. When he sees Rika talking to V, he believes that she is being tricked by him. He aims a gun at him, showing his ‘strength’, and kills him. Saeran loses himself, constantly hiding behind Unknown, and being confused by all of the revelations happening around him. It causes him to become incredibly unstable.

Saeran can come off as mean due to the way he acts, but we see in his childhood how innocent he was. How he daydreamed about a better life. Loved watching the sky, ice cream, etc. His likes and interests were very childish.

A Page at their best is very charming, inspiring others to follow them, following their ideals, and people want to help them. We see the ‘inspiring others’ and ‘following their ideals’ part in Ray's After Ending, where Saeran is fully whole again, working with the RFA to save Saeyoung. He also wants to protect MC, not afraid of facing his father anymore. The RFA all looked up to Saeran for his earnest determination. You could say he is a fully realized Page in this ending, which was extremely difficult to achieve. The potential that Saeran displays is immense. Even his hacking skills are considered better than his brother’s, and who knows what else he can achieve if given the opportunity to live a normal life?

In the original main story, though, we see people who want to help Saeran. Of course, it's V and Rika. Saeran’s weak constitution is what made Rika want to ‘save’ him. V couldn’t help but want to help him (though, V has a compulsion to want to help everyone, but still).

In Homestuck, the Page class is known as the most difficult to master. As a result, the Pages we see in the comic, like Jake English, are viewed as ‘weak’ by the characters. Their discovery of their own self worth and true potential is extremely long, to the point that they may never reach the end of their journey. With Saeran, his past was stacked against him. A prime minister as a father who wants to kill him, an abusive mother that targets him for his weak constitution, being indoctrinated into a cult as soon as he left his old situation. In every turn he takes there is always something hampering his journey towards self-actualization. There are many bad endings in Another Story that show this, where he either becomes the cult leader of Mint Eye, dies, etc.

The development of a Page is considered slow too, needing help from others in order to mature. Because of Saeran’s childhood, he does need help in order to mature, lacking normal experiences that most would have had. V offers this help in the form of teaching him about photography and flowers. Rika seeks to help him ‘mature’ or ‘grow strong’ by indoctrinating him into Mint Eye. She believes that by doing this he will reach his full potential, and leave his ‘weak’ old self behind. (Bro this just sounds like Aranea Serket forcefully unlocking Jake English’s full potential, and then it ends up fucking up the entire story). The bonds that a Page has with people is a double-edged sword. Due to his nature, people want to help Saeran, badly, but if it's the wrong kind of people, like V and Rika, it could end up poorly.

This is what the Extended Hiveswap Zodiac had to say about the Heart Aspect:

(We did this before with Yoosung, but I'm putting it here just in case you didn't read that post)

“Those bound to the aspect of Heart are very concerned with their favorite subject: themselves. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call them 'self-obsessed’, but not necessarily in a negative way. They simply want to understand the one thing we all are stuck with for our entire lives, i.e. our own minds. Forging an identity is extremely important to the Heart-bound, and every decision and action goes toward building a coherent narrative of their own story. That isn’t to say Heart-bound don’t care deeply for their friends and allies; they just have a tendency to assume that everyone is as concerned with identity as they are. They are excellent at putting on and taking off masks as the situation calls for them. At their best, they are competent, imaginative, and steady. At their worst they can be overbearing, inflexible, and cold.”

How this applies to Saeran: Heart is Saeran’s Aspect. I’ve said in the Yoosung classpect post that I believe Heart represents romance, emotions, soul and identity. Saeran’s identity is little to none in the beginning of his story, unable to see the outside world due to his parents. Saeyoung was healthy enough to venture outside, to see the world and to form an identity of his own. Saeran was unable to, and as a result there’s only a handful of things that we know he likes for sure: the sky, flowers, and ice cream. You could say these are small parts of his Heart, but he only managed to gather a little.

The theme of identity is all around Saeran. In the main story his identity is decided by others: by Rika who wants him to be Mint Eye’s hacker, by Saeyoung who wants him to be the same little brother that he knows, by V. In Another Story we get a split-personality narrative, where his identity is literally split apart. This is a struggle seen in the Heart bond, trying to figure out who they are (as I’ve said before with Yoosung, but in his case his journey towards self-actualization is completely different).

A Page of Heart has Heart Served to them by others to benefit themselves. Rika, V and Saeyoung are Serving Heart to Saeran, exposing him to new things and shaping his identity. Saeyoung showed him the sky and ice cream. V showed him flowers and photography. Rika showed him… yeah. As I’ve said, letting other people gather Heart for him, help him in order to mature, does more harm than good. The only way Saeran could reach his ideal self is to access his Aspect himself. We see this clearly happen in Ray’s After Ending. Once he has access to Heart, then he is unstoppable. He not only knows exactly who he is (Ray and Saeran fusing into one personality), but we also see other parts of the Aspect of Heart shine through. Romance is a big part of Heart, and he gets that with MC. He is able to express his emotions, which were seen as ‘weak’ by Rika, and ultimately this results in him connecting with his father, making Saejoong actually feel remorse. Emotions aren’t weakness to him, they are his strength.

A Page of Heart can also call on Heart to protect themselves from hardship or unpleasant situations. You could argue he initially does this when he splits his personality between Ray and Saeran in Another Story. He protects himself from pain by making one personality take the brunt of it, even though in the grand scheme of things, he is only harming himself more by doing this.

So, how is Saeran a Page of Heart in the main story (Deep Story, 707 route, Secret Endings)? Well, I talked about Another Story and Ray After Ending a lot since I think we actually see him become a fully realized Page of Heart there, but in the main story that isn’t as obvious. He still has Heart pushed onto him by Saeyoung, V and especially Rika. He hides his true self behind the moniker of Unknown. He uses this identity to his benefit, even if its harmful towards his true self. As Unknown, he intimidates and terrorizes the RFA.

I will be honest, the Page of Heart suits the Saeran we see in Another Story and the role he plays within that narrative. In the main story of Mystic Messenger, his role is different from this. I wanted to cover this interpretation anyway, since it did resonate with me.

Similar to how I determined Jaehee's classpect, we must look at Deep Story, 707 route and the Secret Endings in order determine his classpect, since I believe classpects are determined by the role a character plays in the main narrative.

(Also I like the idea of the Choi twins having classes that are the direct opposite on the Active and Passive class dichotomy).
