[funera1pyre]

hello there! I don't know if you take requests or not, but I'm here to tell you that I love your writing and your "iii is fuming..." fic is one of my favorites 😁 I would really love to hear your take on the NSFW ABC's for iii if that's something you're interested in. thank you very much for your time! 💖

im so glad you liked it, anon 🥺

iii nsfw alphabet!! 💜

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

i think iii crashes pretty fast (he cant help it) but just as he takes care of you, he expects it in return. if he has enough energy he loves taking a bath/shower with you afterwards

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

iii loves his hands and his neck. once again big hands make brain go brrr he loves holding your small hands/linking pinkies and loves when you choke him 🤭🤭

his favorite on his partner is their hips and thighs. LOVES LOVES squeezing your thighs and gripping your hips when he rails you

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

loves cumming on your thighs and stomach. thinks you look so pretty 🥹

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

likes crossdressing and wearing skirts/fishnets 🙃 loves when you call him pretty and likes being called babygirl

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

iii has had a few partners in the past and definitely knows what he’s doing. your relationship is the first one where he’s really started to come out of his shell and be more submissive, though

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

LOVES when you ride him. especially in reverse cowgirl cuz he loves your ass

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

it’s iii, of course he’s silly during sex. he can definitely be more on the serious side but its just in his nature to crack jokes

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

def hates having too much hair down there so he keeps it trimmed shortly

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

iii always makes sure you are feeling good and always puts your pleasure above his. he can be super cheesy and romantic but more often than not he’s caught up in the moment and just wants to make you cum

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

okay hear me out. he jacks off alot. especially when he’s away on tour, he’s so pent up from being away from you he has to call you so he can cum for you ☹️

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

CROSSDRESSING!!!! LOVES dressing pretty for you. omg suck him off while he’s wearing a skirt he will go crazy. HUGE EXHIBITIONIST. loves being choked. loves being overstimulated. 100% gets off on eating you out. big masochist and i’ll die on that hill

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

iii loves fucking you in risky places and thrives on the adrenaline it gives him. takes you on the couch more often than the bed

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

being bossed around and called cute names ☹️ eating you out, when you touch his neck

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

he cannot be a hard/rough dominant. even when he’s in the more dominant role, he’s more of a pleasure top. he’s never felt comfortable in the role

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

highly prefers giving to receiving. this man will get off on eating you out and will hump the bed til he cums in his pants 🤭 will 100% eat you out when you’re on your period im sorry i dont make the rules

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

def more fast and rough, he gets so caught up in how beautiful you are and how good you feel sometimes he needs to catch himself ☹️

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

iii THRIVES on quickies. they are his absolute favorite especially in public where the two of you can get caught

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

^^ YUPPP. he is the biggest exhibitionist + will also try anything with you

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

i think iii cums pretty fast especially when his kinks are being put into play, but he likes to make you cum multiple times before he does. usually goes for one round because he knocks out afterwards

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

loves toys and likes to be blindfolded + to cuff you and be cuffed

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

big tease ☹️ also loves being teased himself. rub your ass against his dick when you walk by and he will go CRAZY. takes it as an invitation to tease you until one of you caves in

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

very very vocal when he’s subby. whining and whimpering ☹️💔

“am i doing good baby?” “that feel good?” “love how you taste baby”

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

secretly fantasizes about one of the boys walking in on the two of you and joining 🫣

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

i think he has a few tattoos and likes to wear silly underwear like with cats and stuff 💔

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

bro is horny all the time 😭 literally will have sex with you any time any where just ask.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

usually is knocked out pretty fast. tries to keep himself awake as much as he can to make sure you’re okay

Hadestown West End 12/30 notes

Act I

The Lyric is such a tiny theatre, it’s so cute

Melanie La Barrie as Hermes is actually the best thing in the world

RACHELLLLL QUEEN OF THE WORLD (she’s done nothing but sit on the balcony so far)

i love it in road to hell when Hermes introduces Orpheus but has to remind him to say hi to the audience and he waves like the autistic boy he is it’s wonderful

one of the workers is missing an arm and she’s just rocking the choreo love that <3

Eurydice is INCREDIBLE omg her voice is so raw and powerful

SCOTTISH ORPHEUS ‼️‼️ they replace every “yes” he has with “aye”

RACHEL PERSEPHONE YIPPEEEEE!!!!!!!! She ATE livin it up on top- also she and Hermes were besties during her whole time on the surface

ME WHEN THE VIOLIN SOLO IN ALL OVER EVER KNOWN OUUYGHHGHDHWISJSIJSJSJD

Persephone has the most worried and pained expressions every time she dances in Way Down Hadestown, it was so sad. You could tell that she had no control over herself in that moment. (also im just a sucker for puppet choreography)

Scottish Orpheus holds Eurydice at the end of Way Down Hadestown bc he notices her becoming tempted 🥺

HADES BUILT THE WALL BECAUSE DOUBT CAME IN THAT PERSEPHONE WOULDNT COME BACK BRO I HATE THIS SHOW

TURNTABLE JUMPSCARE- since I’ve only seen the tour which obv doesn’t have turntables, so all the choreo with it was new to me and it added so much

Is this Hades a baritone? Or even a tenor? He sang Hey Little Songbird way higher than Patrick or even Nickolaus did

I feel like at some point between the obc and now they switched up which fates sing which lines and have which instruments 

HE STARTS SCREAM SINGING IN WAIT FOR ME LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!! If there’s anything I’ve learned this week it’s that more pathetic white boys should scream sing in their big numbers (thank you Dylan Wood and Jac Yarrow)

Scottish Orpheus’ voice is just so powerful in general. He hits the high notes beautifully and belts his heart out in other parts.

The walls receding is genuinely the coolest part of the show it’s awesome

At one point during Why We Build the Wall, Hades looked back at Persephone. To make sure she was singing along. Because he doubted.

Literally the MOMENT the door closes, Persephone turns around and asks “anybody want a drink?” Like, no hesitation frame one personality shift

Act II

Hermes and Persephone are actually the best duo in the show- they walk on arm in arm and Persephone tries to kiss them lol

RACHEL DID THE CRAZIEST OPT UP ON “there’s a crack in the wall” THE ENTIRE THEATRE CHEERED SHE WAS SO ELPHABA I HELD SPACE FOR IT THATS WHY SHES MY BESTIE!!!!!!!!! 

Scottish Orpheus enters from the house right audience and climbs a scaffolding to get back on stage and does a little happy dance when he goes “it’s me!!” obsessed

Hermes just spends all of Act II (and even the second half of Act I) looking so sad- makes sense, since they knows what’s going to happen but it’s still so sad

Scottish Orpheus scream sings again in If it’s True, both when he’s mourning Eurydice and when he’s rallying the workers I’m so obsessed with it

Ok so Hades sang low again in How Long- guess he’s a baritone who wasn’t comfortable enough with the crazy low notes of Act I but could rock Act II 

I love the lights at the end of How Long where the blue light shines on Hades and the orange light shines on Persephone- it feels like an inversion of their colors (Hades is more warm colors while Persephone is cool colors)

Persephone looks so proud of Scottish Orpheus and the union- new headcanon: Persephone is now Orpheus’ second (third?) mom

Before Epic III, Hermes ruffles Scottish Orpheus’ hair, grabs his arm, and squeezes his hand. They leave to go, but he holds onto them and doesn’t let go- Hermes had to pull themself away 😭

Hades and Persephone looked so happy once they started dancing it was adorable

Scottish Orpheus and Eurydice both had such raw voices that they blend so well together omggggg

Historians will say Mel!Hermes and Rachel!Persephone were best friends omg Harold they’re lesbians

Ik I already mentioned Hermes looking sad but ohmy GOD it’s worse in Wait For Me Reprise bc they are center stage watching Orpheus lead everyone away, knowing he’ll fail but hoping he won’t 

The way it’s pitch black during Dout Comes In is actually terrifying, it really feels like you got transported into Scottish Orpheus’ mind

Literally how did it get sadder the second time I’ve seen it what 😭😭  

I need Rachel to sing We Raise Our Cups to me every day bro 

In summary: this show is incredible!! Thought it was amazing when i saw it on tour but it’s even better in an environment where it’s meant to be performed. Love Scottish Orpheus and Rachel Tucker owns my entire heart I can’t believe she’s real

[wulfricwashere]

villain anon here, i'm thinking people like tywin or baelish, or ramsay, who are either just psychopathic or just... doing it for their own gain? like, yes, the "good" people do bad things too, but you know, they're not villains or antagonists per se. tywin, baelish, ramsay, cersei, viserys III, joffrey, those are people i'd call villain types (well, i do think there was the chance for viserys having turned out normal if it wasn't for the entire family... trauma lol)

Oh, definitely Ramsay then. I like my villains dark-haired, blue-eyed, and with a plethora of war-crimes, and just straight crimes. To the point they have an entire award shelf dedicated to them. Ramsay is also kind of funny, Im not even going to lie 💀 He's a menace, and he doesn't even have a motive, he's just like that 😭

But I also really like Baelish because of how he goes about things and gaining advantage. He also seems a bit sassy to me. So extra points on that. I was never really all too drawn to Tywin or Joffrey, Joffrey does has impeccable fashion sense though. I do like Cersei, but she never really made it up there with the favorites for some reason. As for Viserys, I don't think I seen enough of him to really decide on him, he's a bit crazy, but, still didn't get to see enough of him to decide. He is pretty though.

Oh, and then there is Euron..... I wouldn't say I find him as funny as I find Ramsay, but the same logic applies to him as it did with Ramsay. I like characters who do things just because they can. Not because they have reason to. Just because they're assholes. So, definitely Euron and Ramsay are my two favorite villainous characters.

(Dis)honourable mention since Im not too sure if he counts as a villain, maybe just a minor-antagonist, or a minor-annoyance, but I would also include Ulf. Because to me, he's just a silly little guy. An untrustworthy and traitorous one, but still, a silly little guy. Ulf remains on the limbo part of villain or good guy, because he isn't a good guy, but I wouldn't call him a full blown villain. He's honestly just a dude. That's why he is honourable mention.

[so2uv]

you're tuning into the jj radio show.. here are some sort-of monthly roundups!!! (but kind of last months too its only been september for like 2 weeks). idk if any of them will be ur thing but i hope u like at least one out of the 10 i picked >_^

3005, childish gambino. god. this is just the song ever for me i cant explain why i love it so much i just DO. sol.. to be honest.. i'll right by ur side til 3005. ITS JSUT SOOOO.

追われて���, soul scream. INCREDIBLE!!! THIS IS REAL MUSIC!!! THIS IS CRAZYYYY. OWARETERU ❗ OWARETERU 💢 OWARETERUU 💥 like some people wouldnt even get it for real.

make luv, brent faiyaz. CRUSHING something in my hands right now. IDK HOW HE DOES ITTTT when he makes sth good he makes sth GOOD do u get me. i might explode.

100,000 - unfinished, jai paul. shoving this song into the hands of anyone who'll listen. every time i listen to this song i think the “And when you think you know what I know / A hundred thousand light years to go” near the end wont hit as hard because i've sort of built up a resistance to it and then it SHOOTS ME IN THE HEADDD. too good.

trick me, kelis. the tasty (2003) album gets me INSANE there is not a singular miss on there for me. and this song... oh its so bad rn. im obsessed with it. like im going crazy. Hepl!

1 thing, amerie. i hear this song and suddenly i can sing i can dance and i can walk in 6-inch heels! and also this isnt that relevant to the song but her hair on the touch album cover.. IT EATS IDEK

two moons, exo-k. you might've heard this before but if not IT NEEDS TO BE HEARDDDD this is literally one of my fave exo songs.

the 7th sense, nct u. you might've heard this too sorry 😓😓 BUT HOW CAN I NOT SUGGEST THIS LIKE ? changed my life forever. when mark lee said “uh, and that's a long-ass ride” i think some part of me just passed away. that IS a long ass ride. 1 thing mark lee's never gonna do is lie!!

taking what's not yours, tv girl. THIS SONG IS SO FUNNYYY. and also very good. BUT ITS SO PETTY LIKE STOP I GIGGLE EVERY TIME I LISTEN 😭 “Ooh, I still have your lighter / Ooh, I still have your book” LIKE HE SOUNDS SO ANNOYING LMFAOO

iii. telegraph ave, childish gambino. had to start and end w him!!! again HOW IS HE SO CRAZY LIKE THISSS. got me moving and floating and ascending and dying. its serious. i love it.

and thats it! like i said i hope u like at least 1 ☹️ THIS WAS FUN I RLY ENJOYED TYPING OUT MY SILLY LITTLE THOUGHTS.. but i will shut up now LOL. time for you to switch to a different station, because the jj radio show is over!! (LMAOO OK ROLEPLAY)

3005: not bad not bad! rap isn't my favourite genre but the lyricism is great and it's honestly really nice to listen to while staring out a window :DD

追われてる: the intro was funky in a good way! love the rhythm and it's catchy in a way that has me bobbing along to it.

make luv: not really my vibe but the chorus is enjoyable. smth id put on my fic writing playlist ngl 👍

100,000 - unfinished: THE SWITCH UP AT THE BEGINNING AYOOO??! from the heavy rap to sudden vocals then merging the two is so 😩😩 i love the vibes of it. “a hundred thousand light years to go” ‼️‼️‼️‼️ i love how the words are staggered; it’s jerky the speech but it works so well

trick me: again, the song itself isn't for me specifically but the lyricism is to die for. "freedom to us has always been a trick // freedom to you has always been who ever landed on your dick" LIKE HELLO??? YES I LOVE THIS audibly went "ooooh" when i heard it. the rap is amazing too

1 thing: ok the intro ok it's nice its nice. OOH THE VOCALS I LIKE THIS TBH it's so fun??! if i weren't hacking my lungs out id totally get up and dance very badly to this (pretend like im an edit or like part of a clip compilation or smth yes yes)

two moons: the beginning is very cool, i like the beat and the rapping! ok when it picks up around 0:59 and they start saying two moons and stuff 💥💥💥 honestly did not expect to like this as much as i actually do :00 added it to my main playlist too 😼😼

the 7th sense: "OPEN YOUR EYES" OMG I LOVE THE CHORUS like my eyes are open and im sat. I GET WHAT YOU MEAN WITH THE MARK LINE!!!! nah ok this is going on the main playlist bc yes.

taking what’s not yours: THIS??? SLAPS??? i don't listen to enough tv girl shit i should be- the beat is such a good walking song i will climb a mountain listening to this. “ooh, i still have your lighter // ooh, i still have your book // ooh i still have everything you bought, but you never took” this right here. makes me want to- *explodes*

iii. telegraph ave: OMG THE DROP thought this was going to be a slower song but. the shift. the switch up 😫

omg this was fun!! pls music recs are amazing i love getting them

taglist: @angelwonie @chvnnie @jhslmhbtsskz @drrramaaaqweeen @eulaenthusiast​ @hwajin​ @niinjo​ @starlostseungmin​  

series: with skz; || one

cw; smut warning under the cut.

i. m receiving, slight nipple play, praising, marking, a lot of teasing coz im mean like that, mean soft dom!jisung, sub!reader.

ii.size kink, dirty talk, slight choking, hair pulling, deep throating, reader has slight possessive kink, use of pet names like darling, babe, angel, etc.

iii. jisung is slightly(?) mean here, but oh well, begging, mild degradation kink(reader gets called pathetic, filthy etc.), use of names like slut, whore, i think that’s it.

jisung was nervous. he knew he shouldn’t be, but that’s what he felt when he was around you. you drove him crazy, and the fact that he knew it did, made him shy thinking about it. shy in a way that showed a slight tint of red on his cheeks in front of his friends whenever you touched his thigh, obviously meaning it in the most pure way possible. but all jisung could think about was how you would look when you touched him exactly the way you were touching him now, your lips wrapped around his cock, on your knees. only for him. 

jisung also knew you had some weird experiences of giving someone head, but it wasn’t really your favorite thing, with history and all. he never pushed you, until tonight. until he found himself getting hard when you touched him. he didn’t think it would affect him so much to the point he wanted to fuck you right there, in that pretty pastel blue dress that you wore, in front of all his friends, but then again, he was possessive of you and he wanted to be subtle about it.

“hey, babe.” jisung wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him, and you turn to face him. you smile at the boy next to you, bringing your palm up to your boyfriend’s chest, humming in response. “you ready to leave yet? it’s getting dark.” you nod your head, pressing a small peck to his cheek, and when his grip tightens on your body, jisung swears he heard a small whimper leave your lips. “everything okay?” he whispers into your hair, and you mumble a small yes, leaving a hint of concern on his face. 

the car ride back home was the most awkward thing you and boyfriend have ever been in. the silence made you wish there was some music playing, but you’d have to manage. your hands straighten your dress, trying your best to cover your bare thigh. it seemed like a mistake wearing the dress, but you liked it, and you wanted to look nice for your boyfriend, making you go back to the party, and when you touched his thigh. 

you couldn’t keep your eyes off him, resisting the urge to bit your lip every now and then. resisting the urge to just sit on his lap and leave marks, bruises, anything, all over his neck and chest. resisting the urge to be good for him, to listen to him, to do whatever he asked you to do. you finally broke when you touched his thigh, all out of pure intentions, but you just hoped jisung didn’t think anything about it. your thoughts needed to stay with you, but you felt yourself getting desperate for him, to please him. 

“whatcha thinking about?” jisung’s voice fills your head, and you turn to him, noticing his grip on the steering wheel tighten. pulling on the brakes at the signal, he turns to face you, his jawline tight, almost shining a bit in the traffic lights. “words, baby,” he whispers softly, before starting again, turning right into the street where you shared an apartment. “hmm, just.. you look good today,” you sigh, biting your bottom lip. “yeah? you look pretty enough for me to fuck you in that dress, darling,” he smiles, turning the engine off, and stepping out of the car, watching you stumble out, your cheeks a little red. 

“i’m not kidding,” he whispers, reaching to hold your hand, and you swore if he hadn’t been there, your knees would’ve given away. “so pretty just for me, all mine.” jisung presses a kiss to your shoulder, giving you space to open the door to your apartment. “holding myself off from fucking your mouth right there, baby.” he stops, and you gasp when he pulls you close to him, closing the door behind him. his fingers move to trace your shoulders, letting straps fall down, watching your face. 

“would you? let me fuck your mouth? i need to see your lips wrapped around my cock, angel,” jisung whispers, his voice hushed and he’s holding you close, breathing you in. you take in a sharp breath, knowing you can’t say no to him. you didn’t want to say no to him. the way he looked so pretty, almost begging, pleading you to be used by him, you couldn’t say no. “you can say no,” jisung mumbles, leaning closer to kiss your lips, his fingers finding your own, before placing his palm at the nape of you neck. “anything you want, darling.”

you had a choice. you need this, but so did he. both of your hands now tangled, your knuckle brushing against his clothed boner making him hiss into the kiss, letting it travel to your cheek, down to the base of your neck and then finally to your collarbone, etching kisses, wanting to leave marks where only he could see them, but jisung knew there would be his bite marks, on your lower collarbone. his.

“wanna make you feel good, ji –” you manage to say, your hand finding his hair, tugging on it, your other hand reaching to tug on his zipper, wanting his cock out and in your hand. “please –” your eyes flutter, feeling him close, wanting him closer. you both knew that this was something you weren’t comfortable doing, but you were willing to. today. 

jisung dips his head and burrows his face against your neck, trailing even more kisses there until he nips, groaning in frustration. his hands find your neck, cupping it, walking both your bodies back until it your back hits the wall separating the foyer and the living room. “fuck, the way i was imagining you taking my cock between your lips in that dress is driving me nuts,” he lets out, kissing you once, twice, until he’s back to kissing your neck, and going back to press a small kiss to your hair before pulling away. “be a good girl for me, and make me feel good, yeah? maybe i’ll reward you.”

you whimper at his words, letting out a small ‘god, ji right there’ when he brings out your breasts from your bra, massaging them aggressively, before sucking on on one nipple, earning a mewl from you. his fingers fiddle with the other nipple while your hands unsnap the button of his jeans and pull his zipper down. “can i?” 

“look at you asking for permission. fuck yes, go ahead baby,” jisung says, his grumble turning into a groan when you pull out his rigid cock in your hand, stroking the length. jisung’s stance falters, and he squeezes his eyes shut, and you take this as an opportunity to switch places and guide him so that his back was now pressed against the wall. 

you couldn’t deny it. jisung taking control always had you weak. on days when he would fuck you, and not make love, he would be so aggressive to the point where you were close to using your safe word, but you didn’t. you didn’t want to, because you were a sucker for this man. a moan leaves your lips, a sinful cry of pleasure, when he pulls your hair, bringing you closer to him, and it has you ascending already.

“so pretty,” you whisper, kneeling down so you’re face to face with his cock, not stopping the stroking even for a moment, having a firm grip on his thick erection. you look up to find his head against the way, and if you weren’t in the dark right about now, you’d know his eyes have rolled to the back of his head. “and so hard, all for me,” your tongue darts out, giving his tip a small lick, just a tiny one and jisung loses it. 

his hand reaches to grab you by the nape of your neck, pulling your hair in the process, as he brings you close, the tip of his cock hitting your bare chest a little. “fucking stop teasing, or you won’t get anything, do you get me? i’m not going to fuck that cunt of yours until im done using your mouth the way i want, angel.”

“need your cock inside me, ji– need you so bad, god. please.” it’s jisung’s chuckle that makes you move a bit more forward, and the next thing you know, his cock is stuffed between your lips, his precum leaving stains on the side of your lip, but you didn’t care. “jesus fucking christ angel, fuck,” jisung hisses, his hands cupping the back of your head, bunching your hair, his hips bucking into your face and you gag. he pulls away from your lips, leaving you whining for his cock. “shit, did you like that? do you like it when i make you choke on my fucking cock? jeez babe, i didn’t think you to be such a slut,” he hums, brushing a stray strand of your hair to the side.

jisung watches you lick your lip, your thumb wiping the little cum on your face, sucking on your digit, tasting him and he groans at the sight in front of him. his hand reaches to pull your dress up, finding no panties, and he smirks. “bare pussy, hm? all this for me?” you nod, biting your lip, settling on the floor, watching him bend down as well and you spread your legs for him, bunching your dress up for him to see how wet you were for him. “fuck, you’re deliciously wet. let me have a taste, angel. need to have you make a fucking mess on my face,” he whispers, the pad of his thumb rubbing your arousal all around your pussy and you whine, jisung’s just watching your reaction. “nuh uh, later, baby. need to make you feel good,” you close your thighs around his wrist, leaning to kiss his nose, your hand reaching for his cock, stroking it.

jisung lets out a low moan, backing himself against the wall again, “so greedy aren’t you? you just want me to nut all on your face hmm? my baby wants to be filthy tonight huh?” you nod at this, your thumb spreading precum on his head, your lips replacing your hand in a second. “fuck, just like that darling,” he whispers, bucking his hips again, making his cock hit the back of your throat, and you choke again. you had to admit it, you liked it. “let me know if its too much okay?” jisung looks at you, his finger caressing your cheek, while you bobbed on his cock, and his fingers reach to tangle your hair, pulling you closer to him, your nose brushing his lower abdomen. 

“such a pretty whore, all mine. looking all gorgeous with my cock stuffed in your mouth, can you be even more desperate and pathetic angel? do you not get my cock enough?” jisung hisses, his biceps flexing when he helps you move your mouth on his cock, setting a pace for you to follow. “needs all her holes filled doesn’t she? filling up your pussy isn’t enough, needs me to cum in her mouth as well, fuck.” 

you whine around his cock, the vibrations sending him to heaven, but jisung needs to be inside you. he needs to see you fall apart on his cock. he loved your lips around his cock, it was the best thing ever, but this was for another time. he would make you swallow all of him another time, he’d make a mess on your face another time, maybe in the morning. 

“baby, fuck. i need to be inside you, i need to watch your pussy swallow me whole,” jisung says, softly, pulling you away from him, his cock hitting his stomach. “be a good and greedy, little thing. i’m going to fuck you fast and hard. maybe if you can make me cum, i’ll let you make a mess on my tongue.”

Prologue Part II Part III part IV

Rogue-durin-16 masterlist

I rushed into history class, plopping down on my chair with a sigh. Luck seemed to be smiling at me, since Mrs. Click was not waiting in class as per usual.

My friends, sitting in the proximities of my desk, wasted no time to turn to me in search of answers.

"So? what'd he say?"

"He said yes."

"He said yes?" Linda's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of her skull.

"Why would he said no?" I questioned quietly, pulling out my book without breaking eye contact with my three friends.

"Because you asking him out it's so weird and unprompted."

"It also kinda seems like you're pulling a nasty joke on him." Liz pointed out with a wince.

"And he hates us." George finished. "Not us but y'know."

"Okay yeah." I cleared my throat, opening the book on a random page. "But I didn't... ask him out."

"What did you do then?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halfway through my march towards a table I would have never guessed I would find myself getting close to, my resolution started to falter. Suddenly, asking Eddie Munson to date me didn't seem like a good idea anymore.

Lots of things could go wrong, specially in the high school's cafeteria. Positive side was that I had witnesses, in case Eddie Munson went batshit.

Though it felt like the 'what if's would make me go batshit. What if he said no? He despised everyone belonging to some kind of popular crowd; what if he said yes? I would be stuck with the creepiest boy in Hawkins High for who knows how long.

Oh God, I didn't even like him; I would have to fake a whole relationship— how does one even fake a relationship?

Too lost in my second-guessing turmoil of thoughts, I hadn't realized how close I was getting to my initial destination.

Slowing down the pace, I spared a look over my shoulder at the place my friends had been sitting with me mere seconds ago, only to find them already leaving. Not just them, everyone was beginning to get up.

Lunch break was about to be over.

Maybe I still had the chance to just turn around and leave, too. Maybe this was, in fact, a horrible idea; maybe—

"Did you get lost?" My eyes opened wider than I thought possible, my heart dangerously stammering at the sound of Eddie Munson's voice. When I redirected my attention to him, I found the boy and his friends rising from their seats too. "You're wayyy too far away from the" he waved his hand on a mocking manner towards the place where I came from. "boring, popular section."

"I... Would— would you be interested on making a deal with me?"

Panic crossed his gaze, partially covered by his long hair, before he swiftly pulled me away from nosey ears. "I'm not selling you anything at school."

"Not that kind of deal!" It was my turn to panic, looking around in order to check no one had heard us, much like he had just done. "I— I need you to date me— not actually date me, though." Confusion made itself prominent im him the more I talked. "It's more like, for show. I—" a quick glance at the clock let me know that we had to get going. "Shit— okay, basically, I'm trying to give my parents a heart attack, and dating you would be ideal for that. Also, you're the farthest thing that exists from the 'boring, popular section'," I added quotation marks to his words, making him quirk a brow at me. "which is a plus for my personal development. I wanna... Experiment? If that makes sense."

"So you want me to... pretend to date you, and borderline corrupt you." I gave him a firm nod. "And I get something out of it too?" I shook my head affirmatively once more, tapping my fingers on my backpack's strap in an anxious manner. His head tilted, eyes landing on my hand. "Why don't you head to class before you dig a hole into that bag? We can meet once we're out of here to talk about terms and stipulations."

I blinked in disbelief. "Wait- is that a yes?"

"I mean, Y/n Y/l/n just walked over to me and asked to date me so she can piss off her parents." The grin that had been subtly twisting the corner of his lips grew wider into an amused smile; I myself couldn't help but breathe out a chuckle at his statement. "It's a yes. At least for now."

"Well, that was easy." The tension on my shoulders eased. "I gotta—" I pointed at the door, walking backwards.

"Head to class, yeah."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We... made a deal?" I questioned, more than stated.

"A deal." My nod made George huff. "You made a deal with Eddie Munson."

"I'm— okay— LISTEN. I'm not letting Eddie Munson be my first... Anything, 'kay?"

It wasn't a lie, but it was certainly not the reason why I ended up not asking him out. What I told my friends, however, sounded way better than 'I panicked and didn't have time to back out'.

"Why? He's a good kisser."

"Liz?" George wasn't the only one sporting a confused frown at our friend's comment, but he was the one to voice our thoughts. "you're making... some weird statements today."

"Apologies for actually getting to know him." The girl responded in a passive agressive tone.

"It's not— you kissed—? I don't wanna know." Linda pretended to shiver and gag before returning everyone's attention to me. "What did you two agree on?"

"Not sure yet."

"NOT SURE YET?"

"Dude, I had like two minutes to brief him!" I defended myself, throwing a bundle of paper at a flustered George.

Luckily, Mrs. Click entered the class just in time to save me from an unnecessary reprimand.

"We'll talk after class. Jeez!" I informed the boy sitting by my desk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, let me get this straight." Eddie took one last drag of his joint before putting it out on the wall his back rested against. "You're gonna pay me for dating you, Y/n Y/l/n, Miss Perfect?"

"Sixty bucks per week, yeah." Eddie's eyes widened, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.

"I'm- no?"

"But you said—"

"No, I mean- I'll do it, yes. Just... sixty bucks?"

"You want more?"

"I— no! You're making me feel like a prostitute!" I was about to apologize, not quite understanding why, when Eddie shook his head in the negative. "Listen, 20 bucks and you tutor me in English and History. I wanna graduate this year."

"That's all?"

"I... guess?" He scratched the back of his neck in a thoughtful manner.

"Alright."

"So" Eddie folder his arms, leaning forward. "which are the terms?"

"Easy. Drop me off and pick me up from home as much as you can— I'll pay for the gas, don't worry about that." I made a stop, searching in his gaze a sign of any negative response, but he hummed affirmatively, prompted me to go on. "Walk me from one class to another from time to time."

"Isn't that gonna mine your reputation?"

"Uh, yeah, that's the point." He snorted, shaking his head, face casted down for an instant. "I'll invite you over as soon as I can, but we'll go on a few dates too—"

"You got this all planned out?"

"Kinda." I rubbed my hands together with a nervous chuckle. "You're allowed to hold my hand, hug me,—"

"No hooking up, I'm guessing?" He inquired, pointing at me with his index finger.

"You're guessing right." I took my hands to my back in an attempt to come off less anxious.

"What about making out?"

"Off the table."

"... Kissing?"

"Nope." I put emphasis on the 'p', averting my eyes from his.

"You're tying my hands, princess." He whined, tilting his head to the side.

"Don't call me 'princess'." I warned, already catching a glimpse of the complications this arrangement would have.

"What do I call you then?" There was a tinge of annoyance in his tone, as if he knew it was doomed to fail.

"By my name?" His dark eyes stared straight into my soul with incredulity, triggering a groan out of me. "Ugh! okay, you can use petnames."

"And what about the kissing part?"

"No kissing!"

Eddie pushed himself off the wall, throwing his head back and his hands up in desperation. "I don't exactly wanna kiss you, but no one's gonna buy this!"

"Jeez! Alright, kisses on the cheek and forehead are good."

With a sigh, he recovered his composure. "Now, that I can work with." He nodded, shoving his hands on his back pockets. "And hand kisses?"

"... What?'

"Hand kisses. Y'know—" Eddie reached out his hand, asking for me to do the same. For some reason, I did.

Taking a soft hold of my hand, he raised it high enough to be able to place a chaste kiss on the back of it with a subtle bow of his head, not once breaking eye contact.

"That."

"uhh okay," I cleared my throat, taking aback by the sweet action. "hand kisses are okay too." I confirmed, letting go of Eddie's grasp.

"Throwing my arm over your shoulders?"

"That's okay."

"You said hand holding was good, right?"

"Yup." I moved to reach for my backpack, which had been tossed to the ground for my comfort, but Eddie was much faster to bend down and pick it up. I quietly thanked him, taking the bag from his grasp. "One more thing, you gotta ask me out."

"Tomorrow's good?" I gave him an affirmative response, following his hands' movements with my eyes while he dug in his pockets for a lighter and a cigarette. "Do I stay under the radar? or are you into dramatic shit?"

"Surprise me." I responded, not wanting to give it much thought.

"Really?"

"I'll say yes anyway." My feet began to carry me backwards while we finished the conversation.

"Fair point." He agreed, more to himself than to me, and proceeded to light his cigarette.

I waved him goodbye and turned on my heels, ready to walk my way to my friends, awaiting for me at the building's entrance.

"Hey, Y/l/n!" Eddie's call made me look over my shoulder. "this is not a joke right?"

"Nope, I'm serious!"

"Promise?"

"I swear!" I yelled, due to the increasing distance put between us by my steps.

"Alright, just checking!" he shouted back, taking a drag and letting the cigarette rest between his lips. " 'cause this is nuts!"

"So I've heard!" I responded with a laugh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And you have no idea where he's gonna do it?"

"How many times do I have to tell you guys?" I looked up from my notebook, forehead still resting on one of my hands while the dominant one tapped my pen on the wooden picnic table we occupied at the yard. "I gave him full liberty."

"What if he was just fucking with you?" George wondered, making our heads turn. "I mean, it's pretty wild— the whole situation. I wouldn't be surprised."

"Guess we're about to find out." Liz, who had sat by my side for me to help her with her English homework, pointed with her pen at Eddie, strolling towards us through the grass.

"Y/l/n!"

I had spotted him near the parking lot long ago. He had been there for as long as we had, if not more, but Eddie seemed to have chosen to wait until there was a considerable amount of students out to witness his move.

He jogged the last few feet keeping us apart and proceeded to climb, first the opposite bench, for Linda and George's dismay, and then the table, earning complaints from Liz.

"Y/n Y/l/n." I was quick to remove my things from the surface, transferring them to my lap before the long-haired boy could step on them.

I quirked an eyebrow, barely suppressing a knowing smile when he crouched in order to be eye-to-eye with me. "Can I help you?"

"Actually, yes." He cleared his throat, shoving Liz's books away in order to sit on the table, letting his feet rest on our bench. "The most beautiful girl in Hawkins High —meaning you, of course—" I chewed my lower lip to stop the laughter. "has me under a spell."

I couldn't help but break character for a moment at his casual explanation. Luckily, my laugh could easily pass as a nervous chuckle. "A spell?"

"Yup. You see, the only thing I can think about is her— day and night. I feel like I'm losing my mind." He motioned at his head, whispering the last sentence with perturbation. "can't focus on anything else. Can't sleep, can't eat—" he counted with his fingers and exaggerated facial expression. "of course can't study math, right Lizzy?"

"Yeah, blame it on her, tough guy." Liz teased, amused by the interaction.

"That's dreadful." I decided to go along with it, leaning on ever so slightly.

"It is. So I saw you across the yard" he signaled over his shoulder with his thumb. "and I told myself, 'hell, Eddie, why don't you shoot your shot?' " He leaned back, propping himself up with his hands.

"You're asking me out?"

"That's exactly what I'm doing." I took a discreet look around. Eddie had definitely turned some heads with his little number; now, at least a dozen pairs of expectant eyes and ears not so subtly tried to catch on our conversation. "So, what's it gonna be? Will you free me from my missery and let me take you out on a date? Or will you keep me under your spell until I forget how to breathe?"

"Sooo dramatic." I mockingly whispered, trying to ignore the fact that my cheeks were heating up at his words. "Alright, I'll go on a date with you."

"Magnificent." His upper body leaped forward, making me lean back in surprise, right before he climbed back to stand upright on the table once more. "We'll finalize the details while I drive you home."

"What—" I had gotten tangled on the show we had just put up, that I had forgotten one of Eddie's tasks was to drive me back to my house. "Today?"

"Yup!" He turned to jump off and undo his previous walk. "I'll meet you at your locker after class!"

A moment of silence took over among my group after the metalhead's depart, as he had left us all in too much of a shock to immediately start commenting on it.

It was, in fact, an outsider who started a conversation. Steve Harrington, who had been sitting close to us, had walked over.

"Hey, Y/l/n." He crouched down between my and Liz, his eyes fixed on Eddie. "Not to be nosey, but what the hell was that about?"

"Eddie Munson asked her out." Linda broke the news Harrington, whose eyebrows went so far up that nearly touched his hairline. "She said yes."

"Are you outta your mind?" Steve got up, running his hand through his hair. "Your parents will kill you."

"You think?" I questioned, looking up with a smile.

"What the— don't sound so happy about it! Jesus." He scanned me with something similar to sympathy plastered on his face before patting my back. "They drove you crazy, huh? Holy shit."

[kafkao]

so i've been having a few ideas, and in a moment of inspiration did some doodles for this dsmp au i have-

mildly inspired by a few YTers and concepts i've seen, and i've even done a few doodles for it

so, heres the premise: its basically a videogame au, most dsmp characters are in and are NPCs. ind of a victorian era cos i thought: hey! what if ghostbur was a sad sick victorian teen

Starring: Ghostbur, aka Wilbur Soot III, Wilbur (around l'manberg arc), aka Wilbur II, and Revivebur, aka Wilbur I. Niki Nihachu, aka Niki (im not creative with this one ok) Philza, aka rich almost absent dad, techno, aka Billiam, Wilbur II's private tutor. And a few hermitcraft cameos.

Setting: Like I said, victorian era. Mainly based in a manor I have some rough sketches of. maybe i'll do a street.

[you, the viewer, or 'player', plays Friend :) ]

Characters:

Wilbur III

Around fifteen, gets sick easily and prefers not to go out in any sort of harsh weather. Talks to Friend a lot [how the story moves along] Youngest of three, twin to Wilbur II. Is called Ghost a lot because he goes into a daze and 'disappears'. Reminds people of a younger Wilbur I

Wilbur II

Older twin to Wilbur III. Is the favourite of the family, being the only mildly healthy one. Enjoys music and writing, but has to do a lot of studying for other subjects, and is very busy. Taught by Billiam. Best friends with Niki.

Wilbur I

About seventeen, eighteen. Ran away as soon as he could, no one knows where he went. A bit crazy, almost burned the manor down once. Only two people who know much about him except Philza, who downright refuses to talk about him, and Quackity, whose face goes dark whenever mentioned.

Billiam [Techno]

Around Phil's age. Has a few degrees, but doesn't talk about it. The twin Wilburs don't trust him much, but Phil trusts him and they go way back so Wilbur II doesn't say much. Tutor to Wilbur II, has actually met Wilbur I but no one really knows.

Phil(za)

Dad to three Wilburs, loser in the creative department. Kinda rich, works for some obscure business. A little more background, like Billiam. Wife is deceased, has not found another, does not intend to. Rumours of a fling surround the matter, but was quickly shut down.

Niki

Around Wilbur III & II's age. Has odd pink hair that draws unwanted stares, so doesn't go out a lot. Is a ward of the doctor hired to take care of Wilbur III, thats how she met Wilbur II. Edgy around Wilbur III, and despises Wilbur I, whom she'd somehow met before.

Quackity

A little older than Wilbur II. Knows Wilbur I from 'back then'. No one knows his actual name. Likes to tell stories about his 'adventures', but will immediately get angry when Wilbur I is mentioned. Wants to be a business tycoon.

okay, this has been a very confusing list [with all the wilburs and all] but its time for the hermits!

Cleo

Younger than Phil or Techno, Older than Wilbur I. The doctor hired to watch Wilbur III, a little unethical and expensive but does her job really well and is great with kids. The legal(ish) guardian of Niki, brings her to the Soot Manor bc she can't find anyone to watch her. Takes the bus from her city to Wilburs' town.

Joe Hills

The pharmacist/apothecary that Cleo sometimes mentions. Doesn't appear often, but is stated multiple times that he is the one preparing most of Wilbur III's medicine, and even Phil's.

Grian

Older brother of Tommy, a kid that lived down the street from Wilburs. Seems, normal enough, albeit a little off putting, and is courteous and gentleman-like. However, in private, is even more feral than his little brother; do not engage. Comes from Cleo's city, moves back and forth constantly.

Thats all i have so far. literally. tell me what you think! also i will post the doodles tmrw or some convenient time lol

[kpopchangedme]

Nocturna: Part III

The fragile peace between undead and lycanth is imperilled your arrival to the Inferorum Castrum. Between the changing power dynamics of the wolf pack and the insatiable urges of the vampire king, you aren’t exactly sure where your loyalty lies.

Protagonists: Im Jaebeom | You | Bang Chan

Word Count: 2.9k

Genre: NSFW | Supernatural!au | Vampires | Werewolves | Angst | Romance | Love Triangle

Nocturna Masterlist | HALLOWEEN

The second time you wake in this foreign place, you’re still as disoriented. It takes a moment for you to understand you’re being actively shaken to consciousness. Then, another minute to recognize your surroundings and the man waking you. Well, not a man, Jaebeom.

“There’s not much time left before dawn,” he states, looking away, “I can’t let you rest more.” You’re soft and out of it when he sits you upwards. With warm water, he wipes away all traces of your run into the woods, fall, the attack, his feeding, and your intercourse. When your upper body is all clean from the blood and the dirt, he slides a cream shirt over your head. It is way too large, it falls down to your knee. 

As if reading your mind, he clarifies; “Your clothes are ruined, you would get asked too many questions.” You could explain to him that coming back late from a hunting expedition in nothing but a man’s shirt won’t do much better, but you lack the strength. You are not exactly yourself. He stops wiping your feet to look at you, sensing this. “What’s wrong?” 

“Dizzy,” you mutter, head doddering.

A dimple digs between his perfectly straight brows. Jaebeom brings his wrist to your forehead. “I think you have a fever,” he announces. He can’t tell because his body doesn’t match, but your skin is very damp. “I… It’s the blood loss...” He mutters, having never seen a human unwell after drinking from a vampire. For your kind, black undead blood is a magical cure. You were fine the first time, you’ll be alright. “We need to leave before sunrise.”

“Are we going to Ia-” You’re gagged before you can finish your sentence. Jaebeom brings an index to his lips, crimson eyes narrowing. Right. You aren’t supposed to say anything out loud in this place... He said so yesterday, or tonight, you aren’t sure what day or what time it is. You’re lost. He must think you’re the dumbest person he’s met. 

“I’m escorting you out.” Jaebeom nods, still bashfully avoiding your gaze. He stands, tugging you with him. You extirpate yourself from his large bed, body aching all over. “One more thing, before we go out...” He pulls you into him easily since you’re all sluggish. Then he presses his mouth to your ear, barely audible; “Do not look anywhere, do not step away, do not talk at all, do not even breathe somebody’s way. Do you understand?” 

“W-What?” Your head falls back and Jaebeom cages your chin to hold it straight, confusion painted all over his face. He curses between his teeth, a swear so ancient you have never heard it before. 

“Focus, tidbit, this is important.” The vampire hushes, annoyed. “It’s the only way I can honour my end of our deal. None should be curious about you. They should forget about your existence the moment you leave these walls.”

“Who?” 

“My Court. Do you understand me?”

“Sure.” You agree, too confused to care. You can’t keep up with anything he’s saying right now. Jaebeom sights, hesitating before lightly kissing your pout. You don’t jerk away.

He brings his palm to your heart, feeling it in your chest as though he’s worried about your well-being. Everything sounds fine, but you are off and feeble. You were a lot more doubtful, curious and combative at twilight. He doesn’t understand why you’re in such bad shape, you should’ve recovered by now. He braces himself, grabbing your hand instead of your waist as he turns the doorknob. Most vampires should be in their rooms, ready to get to rest for the day, and the diurnal beasts shouldn’t even be up yet. Ideally, no one should see you, even if they heard. He never brings humans over, and although he can do however he pleases, if someone saw you, he wouldn’t hear the end of it. There’s also a chance you’d be at risk in the future. He has many enemies and they'd wonder if they can get to him through you. If you're special somehow.

Dizzy, you watch as Jaebeom cracks the door, glancing at the large stone corridor you only got a glimpse of yesterday. Whatever he sees seems to please him, because he exits quietly. Pulling you behind, he moves fast by a multitude of closed doors, turning every corner with evident apprehension. After a few minutes of walk, you give up trying to understand where you are going at all. Whatever this place is, it’s a gigantic maze. You follow his instructions, breathing cautiously and always staying a step away. Without warning, Jaebeom suddenly stops moving, body tensing. His face is wiped clean when he turns to gesture you to stare at the ground. Unsure of what’s going on, you still obey, feeling something bad is bound to happen. He starts to walk again, faster, and you look fixedly at the gray stone floor as it becomes a luxurious red carpet. 

“Jaebeom-iiiiiiie.” Someone chirps up ahead, barely making the undead slow down. That’s probably why he tensed, you realize in horror. Another vampire? Hiding behind your loose hair, you keep your head down and follow him like a shadow. “Isn't it too early for you to go out?”

At that Jaebeom stops walking altogether, so abruptly that you collide with his back. “You’re the one who's up before dawn,” he retorts, cold but casual. Trying to be forgotten, you stubbornly keep your gaze glued down. You stare until dark dots are dancing in front of your eyes. You really aren’t feeling all that well...

“I haven’t slept much, you were being loud.” There’s a low laugh that ends in a weird cackle following. Don’t look, you tell yourself, fighting against your natural curiosity. “Besides, you wouldn’t believe the crazy thing that happened to one of my Betas yesterday...” At that, Jaebeom bends his elbow, bringing you all the way against his back.

“I know of everything that transpires here,” he hums threateningly. 

“Really?” Another laugh, and this time the urge is too strong. You raise your head, sneaking a glance above Jaebeom’s shoulder.

A stranger is leaning back against large wooden doors, as though waiting for you two. That is clearly the exit to this odd castle. The new creature tilts his head and wiggles his fingers in front of him, catching you looking. He’s short but has a large built, very impressive. He also has way more colours than Jaebeom, and abysmal black eyes. Not a vampire but inhuman beyond the shadow of a doubt. You are not sure how, but even at first glance, you immediately know what he is. Your nape tingles weirdly, shivers running down your spine.

“It doesn’t seem like you do, Jaeboem-ie.” The massive wolf-man nods his chin your way saying that, and you duck back behind the vampire’s shoulder. “Stealing from us to warm your bed for a night, it’s unlike you to be so reckless”

“Stealing?” Jaebeom snorts defiantly. “Last I heard, you were still guests on my land. I go and feed as I please. In my Castrum, your pack abides my rules.”

“Sure, I remember,” the dark one crinkles his nose, “the treaty hasn’t aged as well as me...”

“It’s a very generous pledge.” Monotonic, a newcomer in your back intervenes. Jaebeom, who was as strained as a pulled bowstring, immediately relaxes against you. 

“Ah, at last!” The wolf pushes away from the door at the entrance. He stretches his arms in an offbeat welcoming gesture, “the reasonable cold-one! I was so worried you already went to rest, Jinyoung-ie!” Without meaning to, you turn to assess the second creature. Clearly an undead. If his ethereal pale skin hadn’t given it away, the bloody steel scowl you briefly meet would’ve for sure.

“I was about to,” Jinyoung replies, remaining inhumanly still, “but I heard you troubling the king, Jackson.”

“K-King?” You repeat under your breath, heart quickening as your mouth opens in astonishment. No one minds you, but Jaebeom squeezes your hand twice.

“Troubling him? I’m the one dealing with the distress he caused my pack!” 

“Enough!” Jaebeom roars, exasperated. “Stop yapping nonsense and let me out!”

Jackson laughs once more at his anger, way too exaggeratedly. His amusement is obviously fake and does sound like a mad dog barking. If Jaebeom is his king, it sure doesn't feel like it. There must be a lot of bad blood between them. Uncomfortable, you wiggle from one foot to the other. The wolf-man ceases his howling to dart his black eyes on you, amusement giving place to something strangely just as warm.

“Nice to formally meet you, pup...” His expression twists into a large grin, “Jackson Wang, Alpha of the Bang Pack.”

Jaebeom reacts as though you've been directly threatened by the greeting. He turns to shield you with his arms, grunting as a warning. The other vampire also steps between both creatures, though still highly apathetic.

Jackson whistles, impressed by the scale of the reaction obtained. “You’re confused, Jaebeom-ie. She’s not yours to protect...” Claiming this, he raises his hand to the East side of the large Hall.

Summoned, another figure extirpates itself from the shadows. A silver-head you recognize instantly. There’s a strong pull in your stomach and warmness spreads through your body at his familiar sight. So, it wasn’t all a dream, Chan truly is here with these creatures. Has he lied to you all this time about his identity, or is there something you're missing? This is everything Jaebeom warned should not happen. If he hates wolves like he claimed, why are these two guests in his Castrum? Right now, you can't even begin to make sense of everything.

“Hello again, Jeonha.” Chan tilts his head your way, walking to the other wolf’s side. He looks tired and jittery, concerned. His eyes become two thin lines as he asses you from head to toe. There’s no hint of beastliness in them at all this time. You've never seen your old friend this agitated and distressed. You should reassure him, but Jaebeom beats you to it.

“Keep your paws to yourself, mutt,” the king warns, voice distorted, “or lose them.”

The larger wolf bursts out laughing for the hundredth time, “WOW!” Jackson claps, hysterical with merriment. The others wait for it to go by, unsurprised as if this happens to him regularly. “I think there’s a human saying… About history-” 

“How are you?” Chan interrupts, unable to hold back anymore. "Has he hurt you?" Unable to not reply when your friend is staring at you like that, you shake your head from side to side. He sighs in relief but still anxiously runs a hand in his curls. You're puzzled, the scene in the forest is flashing through your fuzzy mind. What happened between you two, who attacked you? He seems so worried. You can’t keep up with this messy situation. After a quick look at Jackson, Chan straightens and raises two fingers in front of him, bending them in an invitation. “Come here,” he commands with a deeper voice, one you have never heard him before. The vampire's arm on your waist tightens dolorously, and scary sounds birth at the back of his throat. “Here,” Chan repeats with a short nod, looking more drained and this time your whole body trembles. It is weird, as though you are yearning to obey. He doesn’t miss it and smiles tentatively, lips curving upwards, inviting... “It’s okay, you are safe now. I’m here.” His dimpled grin is simply contagious, irresistible. It's familiar, comforting and safe. You've been cherishing that smile of him for years. Craving to get closer, your right foot slides forward on the carpet causing the king to look down at you, shocked. 

“Where are you going?” Jaebeom might be whispering, but you’re certain every creature in the large hall hears. “That beast attacked you.”

Impossible. Your friend wouldn't hurt you. Shaking your head in denial sends your hair flying around. You almost lose your balance trying to free yourself away from the confused vampire's grasp. Chan’s irides slide to the corner of his eyes to the larger wolf, a silent exchange you miss.

“It’s almost dawn, Jackson.” The second undead points out, sounding a little less bored than prior. “My patience is wearing thin.”

“Well, Jinyoung-ie… Let me enlighten you.” Smiling cockily, the broad wolf walks up to him. “See, your king has been whoring around with my new whelp.” Whatever this means, everyone instantly reacts but you. For the first time since you’ve gotten out of his room, Jaebeom jerks away, putting some space between your bodies. “And obviously I couldn’t sleep because her-”

“What’s going on...” Your legs wobble, missing his support. 

“- mate wouldn’t stop whining about it!”

“Are you sick?” Chan promptly steps closer, alarmed at your feeble state. Unfortunately, he pauses halfway to you when Jaebeom's glare falls on him.

“I merely stopped your dog from bleeding her out, Jackson. What I did with the human afterwards is none of your business.” The vampire king's chin raises with pride. You wonder how you missed his rank before when he’s so obviously noble. “I was there, I saw him hurt her.”

“I would never!” Chan barks, outraged by the accusation. He braves the earlier threat to walk up to you. “I tried to explain everything to you yesterday, Jeonha. She's mine.”

The younger man doesn’t mind the vampire hissing through his teeth this time. When his hand wraps around your elbow to hold you up, you aren’t strong enough to even consider pulling away. Chan’s touch is warm and reassuring, scorching after Jaebeom’s unnatural dead one. He’s home when you are so lost and hazy, always has been. You can’t wrap your head around the possibility he could ever harm you. You've both saved and protected each other's lives many times in the past.

“That young wolf, isn't he Bang?” Jinyoung asks, getting ahead of something his king has missed. “Alpha legacy.” You’re too weak to listen to the rest of the heated exchange that follows.

“C-Chan... I don’t feel…” Like his chest is a magnet, you lean closer until your back is enveloped in him. This is soothing, your whole body hurts.

“Sssh...” Your friend brings his palm to your sweaty forehead, wiping cold sweat. “You’re safe, I got you now y/n... ”

“Y/n.” The king echoes in pure consternation.

“H-home,” you whine, eyelids heavy.

“I know… I’m so sorry, but you'll need a few days. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of gran.”

“How does the dog know your name?” Jaebeom’s stare is so deadly when you meet it, that you almost throw up at its intensity.

“Chan's my f-friend...” You reply, faintly, and his face twists in disgust like you’ve disappointed him. 

“You have our sincere apologies, Jackson.” Jinyoung interrupts, dignified as he looks at the tense scene. “The king made an honest mistake. We won't interfere with your business again.” 

At that, Jaebeom throws his arms to the side, angrier than before. “I don’t care, I’m not letting them turn her! I promised the human a safe return!” 

“You’ve always been so dramatic and short-sighted, Jaebeom-ie.” Jackson rolls his eyes back. “Couldn’t you tell while you were fucking her?” 

“She’s already marked, Jeonha...” The other vampire explains, way more pragmatic.

“I’m w-what...” Disoriented, you slip away from Chan’s grip and tumble forward. You’re hallucinating. The four creatures aren’t really there. You aren’t in this Hall, in this place. You’re dreaming. You’re back home in your bed. You have a fever. “You killed me.” When the young hunter reaches for your shoulders, you shrink on yourself.

“I didn’t,” Chan pleads, desperate, “I chose you!”

“I'm d-dying...” Your eyes barely focus, the rest of the room is fading. 

“You've been poisoned.” Someone shouts a protest from across the room but Chan goes on even louder; “You just need to sleep. The hours following marking are painful...”

Shaking your head, you crouch on the floor, breathing rendered heavy. No one moves, watching you curl on yourself on the carpet. You fist your hair, miserable.

Now everything hurts.

“For the record, the whelp left our wing alive, Jackson.” Dignified, the second vampire darts his bloody gaze on his king, who remains frozen still. 

“Of course you put it that way, Jinyoung!” The older wolf grunts sarcastically, pushing himself away from the wall to glare at both undead, “You can’t have another diplomatic incident...”

“She isn’t responsive,” Chan snivels, sounding far away. 

“I've fed her bloo-”

“Again, we won’t acknowledge that.” Jinyoung cuts off his king, successfully shutting him up.

“But it's obviously his venom!” Chan protests, mad. “She should be fine. She would’ve healed much slower without-”

“Chan! If she dies it’s on you,” his Alpha intervenes, warning with a deep voice; “not the king.” He’s skeptical as his Beta kneels. “You said she was a hunter, that she could take the bite. You guaranteed i- ”

“She’s it,” Chan pulls you into his arms. You’re so out of your mind that you don’t notice when he stands to carry you out. 

“It’s dawn, Jeonha.” Jinyoung coldly points out for Jaebeom who still hasn't moved. He doesn’t get the hype surrounding you at all, you aren’t that pretty. For all the vampire cares... You should die, it’d be less trouble. The king seems rather shaken though, and he hopes the current tensions at the Castrum won’t worsen.

Flight Log Blog #14

Hey Everyone!

First Flight Log Blog of 2020! Would’ve been Friday, but a lot of things were going on to the point where I needed to log off the internet. But I’m back and ready to go.

Lovely fanart by anon, and it’s honestly super cute.

1.  GOT7 GDA & Jaebeom

Got7 attended the 2020 Golden Disc Awards. The theme this year was cosplay, as they and other kpop idols dressed up. However Got7 (Bambam), wouldn’t be them if they didn’t go all out.

They all look amazing, and I hope they enjoyed every minute of it. Honestly idols should cosplay at every award show, it’d make 10x more fun. Got7 also won best album for Spinning Top, which they so rightly deserve.

Another amazing thing to celebrate is Jaebeom’s birthday! We celebrated our Im Leader’s birthday, and he rewarded us by GETTING A CHEEK PIERCING AND DRIVING EVERYONE INSANE!

Between the long hair and piercing, the man wants us dead.

2. Newcomer to the MCU?

There’s word circulating around that Christian Bale (who played Batman in The Dark Knight) might be asked to join Thor: Love & Thunder. Which is CRAZY! Not only would that be a funny switch over between the two comic book franchises, but it’s Christian Bale! The man who played Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. Man’s got credentials. It isn’t confirmed yet, but it’d be awesome nonetheless.

3. Departure III chapter 5

I can’t say for certain, but I’m gonna shoot for chapter 5 for Departure III this Saturday. I’ve only gotten a small section done, but this chapter’s not as extensive. Still bunch of drama though. There’s really 3 chapters in this last Departure story that I’m super excited about, however all of Departure III is fun when considering how I’m gonna mess around with the Turbulence Acts.

All wrapped up for today. I’ll shoot for a Friday Blog, and remember to send me more ask if you’d like!

Museum of Mayhem Art Analysis

ahhh it’s finally here and it’s AWESOME. Lots of credit to @ifalnasminiatures for bringing this to my attention! Also credit to Hayder Hype for providing (nat zero six on gearbox forums) sources (Ashley Landry on twitter) in the description of his video because oh man it’s a lot

you can view most of these art pieces on the borderlands instagram as well

lots to talk about especially regarding the calypso twins so let us dive right in

tl;dr: tyreen has a weird red marking on her face in some old designs. i think troy used to be blind and missing his metal plates. more proof for my elpis/chemical sludge/lost legion theory that the twins are using said chemical sludge to give their followers psuedo-siren powers bc a dahl pumping station (hyperion pumping stations on pandora) but dahl had a presence on the moon

one of my favorites, it reminds me a lot of the Mask of Mayhem, but for villains.

Punk Girl is shown again twice, probably further proving she’s tied in with the CoV somehow

we also got some crazy looking villains such as

baby face. which is all kinds of extremely fucked up

this dude who looks like he could be a miniboss with the glasgow smile and the cool goggles

this guy who i legitimately thought was dr zed for a hot second there

could it be

the evilest brother?? pfft nahhh

this girl who seems like she could be a unique character with a baseball cap. wondering if maybe she’s related to Punk Girl in any way. What’s the verdict on the other band members? 🤔

uhh let’s give it a solid maybe and move on

this piece! very interesting to me

so, the very first thing i noticed is zane’s eye patch being on the other eye lol

amara’s tattoos are also gone, however that might’ve been for reasons similar to the japanese cover art of the game. 

most interestingly is a point @ifalnasminiatures made and it’s that the calypso twins are actually palette swapped! you can see Troy is the one with the white hair and Ty is the one with the darker hair. which I think mayyy play into a few things we see later about the twins

we also see a tiny ship in the background. i can’t tell if that’s sanctuary-iii or the blue/yellow ship, it all blends together a lot due to the quality of the pic. but it is next to the calypso twins, which makes me want to believe it’s the blue/yellow ship we see with red markings all over it. you know this one from the mural of mayhem wallpapers

you can see the reddish markings on the back right next to the engines

then we have ummm

this cover art

😬

thanks for not using this one gearbox cuz 

oh my god

she just reminds me of suicide squad, that’s not a good image you wanna dredge up from the deep recesses of your fans’ brains

she might be a unique character given the clothes/hair? cuz you don’t normally see psychos with stilettos on. or yknow, shoes in general. the hair also seems way to clean and neat to be a psycho/cultist

i just feel uncomfortable looking at this, so moving on

a different logo. also not my favorite cover art, but at least im not physically uncomfortable looking at this. that poor girl’s pelvis... anyway

lots of silhouettes

interestingly, i feel like the roses might have been a thing they just put in for the new cover art. haven’t seen hide nor hair of them across any of the pictures i’ve seen.

we got a lot of figures. out of them i most definitely recognized amara, salvador, maya, another salvador?, zer0, moze (maybe?), and axton. i thiiink one of them is maya as well, but im not 100% on that. 

i can guess why they didn’t pick this one: it’s hard to tell who’s who. a lot of these poses make the silhouettes kinda hard to see and the merging together at the bottom makes things even worse. i do think it’s interesting there are some bl2 characters on here as well, but hayder hype mentioned they very well could be placeholders, and given that i can’t make out fl4k or zane, im inclined to believe him.

this art which was used during the promo for this event

rip elpis i guess LMAO

a better look at the psycho himself from the promo released by the borderlands twitter.

there’s a new red planet which hasn’t been shown off before, looks like a gassy planet kinda like jupiter, but interestingly it has this green crack in the side?

very reminiscent of pandora’s eridium scar. i am wondering if this is because this planet had a vault opened, or if it is tied to the Eridians at all. be interesting if it was their homeworld.

also i have no idea what the symbolism is in the homeworld destroying another planet but maybe we shouldn’t think about it too hard e_e

the other planet that’s being destroyed... idk fellas

it doesn’t match up to me but like, this is only one shot

i don’t know 🤔 if you really squint, maybe you can see that hint of purple at the bottom there?

here

tbh, i thought this was elpis the first time i saw it due to the cracks, but i figured elpis doesn’t have like continents across its surface, just craters. and wayyy more cracks.

so it’s probably not pandora and it’s probably not elpis.

huh...

i do think the actual shot is suspended above promethea, you can see the familiar asteroid belt surrounding it

there’s also a planet in the background,

which i imagine isn’t pandora bc no eridian scar

could be elpis or eden-6, or the 5th planet we don’t know about. i kinda get the feeling the 5th planet may be that gaseous red planet tho. which is probably going to be super weird to traverse now that i think about it. they said oz kits weren’t coming back, right? i wonder how that would work. hmmmm

there’s also this redder planet here which i actually DO think is Pandora. if you squint real hard u can see the purple from the eridian scar. plus the color matches up pretty well with the pictures provided above.

there’s also these two bodies over in the corner where the light is coming from. i can’t tell what they’re supposed to be

there are also these little dudes in the top right

i assume they’re maliwan? they remind me a lot of the maliwan drop ship things that fly overhead when you enter promethea

YESSS okay this is the start of some PRETTY WILD twin stuff

troy: missing his tattoos, blind in one eye, has a weird mark above his eyebrow. also, no metal bits!

Tyreen!!! with a red stripe across her left cheek going up to her eye??? no tattoos on her left arm as far as we can see, but that might be for marketing reasons (she’s also covering up part of her bicep). she’s also missing her coat and chains and wearing a different glove.

we also have a bunch of bl2 VHs taking up space. again i think hayder hype is right in that they’re simply placeholders. not much else to say, but 

this trend of Tyreen having red markings on her face and Troy being blind in an eye (or both) actually continues through a fair amount of these posters!!!

more cover art. one of my least favorites again... i just think it looks like the psycho is puking out the VHs. also, seems to be an older version of the psycho mask.

fl4k seems to be less rendered than the rest of the cast? like they have less detail, especially on their coat

also you can see an older looking space shuttle up at the top, which reminds me a lot of the one we use in TFTBL to get to helios. except less caravanny and more rockety

the splatter also reminds me of siren powers, with the purple and the glitter. it’s cool that it’s showing a different shot than what’s behind it. maybe a hint to siren powers because it’s sort of like a portal.

more puke! 

this time troy is blind in both eyes it seems,

tyreen seems to still have a mark on the left side of her face, im wondering if this ties into her scars at all? it doesn’t seem as prominent as the previous red mark.

Zane seems to have an actual eye patch instead of his more high-tech eye patch, which reminds me a lot of the leaked character concepts from like january i wanna say

amara seems to be dual wielding lol i wonder if originally that was going to be one of her 3 skills but then they were like “wait salvador. wait. nisha. FUC-”

also fl4k is being obscured by this weird saturn-like planet. let them be free!

moze is missing, the saturn like planet shows up 2 times total, and that blue/yellow ship is seen again behind troy

as for the purple stuff? you already know my theory that the twins are going to be using the chemical sludge on elpis to empower their followers. it could also just be straight eridium/slag. you know, like the testing from the WEP with bloodwing and even krieg. we’ll have to see. it would be interesting if they tied krieg into the story through there.

i do lowkey think it’s chemical sludge though, because some of it is actually glowing blue in places, you can see it clearly below amara’s feet. maybe some tie in to siren powers cuz they glow the same blueish color. who knoooows not i

big shot of this psycho here, looks like he’s crumbling. 

i really like the 4 VHs standing at the base with the elongated shadows. very dark vibes from this tho, probably not suitable for the series as a whole. i can see why maybe they decided not to do it. 

i wonder if we’ll see this giant psycho statue somewhere on pandora. it would certainly be a sight to behold. 

also i kinda wish we had cloaks like the concept art shows. cloaks are cool

more sketchy art. this one is also kinda strange, i definitely get why they decided not to go thru with it.

possibly tie-in with the ‘mother’ imagery we get on the propaganda signs across pandora.

lmfao the foot

very bl2 like, im glad they didn’t stick with this. i like that they decided to change things up

troy seems to be blind and also missing his metal implants on his face. his jacket also looks a lot different, it looks more like tyreen’s with the spikes and stuff across it. we also can’t see his metal arm at all, tho we do see his sword! which looks a lot different, im glad they decided to revamp it to be more visually interesting lol

tyreen is more interesting to me. it looks like her right arm has like a silver coating over it? unless that is a metal arm as well. she also is wearing a different kind of glove. her tattoos are missing as well, but again, it’s probably because of the cover art. her scars also definitely seem to have reached her left cheek at some point.

zane also looks a lot different, tho amara, moze, and fl4k look about the same.

another shot of the ship, this one is definitely the blue/yellow one. there’s gotta be some significance with that, right? either we’re getting skins for sanc-iii, we’re going to be painting it a new color, or it’s a different ship.

what the HECK

maybe the twins stole sanc-ii and we’re using sanc-iii. idek. this ship is driving me up a wall lol

gun head.

not a lot to say here. i actually like this one lol it’s very mellow and straight to the point. it’s nice that the logo is right in the middle, not at the top like most of them.

game. buy it. okay? cool.

similar to the other background we did, a bit different. again, like @ifalnasminiatures pointed out, the twins are actually palette swapped here. 

Zane also has the old eyepatch on his right eye instead of his left eye, and his jacket is black instead of blue. fuckin’ edgelord.

one of my favorite ones out of all of them. it’s beautiful, i really wish they had kept it. Fl4k is missing but i assume they were meant to go next to Amara? i also think it’s interesting Moze is in the front, as I took Amara to be the leader this time around. Zane is also an older design, with the eyepatch back on his left eye again (starting to think this is an aesthetic thing lol) and a black jacket instead of blue.

We see the twins on the top. Tyreen has that mark on her face again, and Troy is the same as the last few covers.

We also see Maya, Zer0, and for some reason Brick? Which is weird to me considering we have a few other characters who initially feel much for important to the story (cough Lilith cough), but I’m not complaining. 

the purple splatters again make me think this is a tie in to eridium/slag/elpis’s chemical sludge. i also like the logo being worked into the design instead of just thrown on top, i think that’s a nice detail

i couldn’t find a great shot of this poster which is a shame because it’s one of my favorites

a lot of baddies to go around on here. i love the dude up top, he reminds me of the Anchormen from the captain scarlett dlc in bl2!

these dudes

we can see Punk Girl on the left again

and this guy who appears to be in some medieval armor

i have no idea what’s going on there but i am EXCITED

i’ve been thinking and tbh i think the multiple planets thing was just an excuse for gearbox to go absolutely ham on the character designs/settings. 

i mean why should they have to hold back all their medieval armor designs for another dlc like tiny tina’s? all their pirate/sea-fairing designs for a pirate dlc? fuck it! go WILD. i think they did, anywho

there’s also this post which... tbh i can’t make out much at all. again, seems like an older psycho mask design. it looks like there are characters in the splatter on the bottom left, but it’s very hard to tell who’s who, especially at this angle and image quality lol

if we get a better shot later on i may return to this piece and try to figure things out!

we also have this piece which is giving me huge ‘Happy Together’ vibes. very trippy

moze looks like she’s using an untextured atlas gun? dunno what’s going on with that tbh lol

i really like this one too. it’s cool. i get why maybe they wanted to go a little crazier tho, feels too simplistic for the MAYHEM vibe they’re going for.

oof! can we get an F in chat for whatever planet/moon this is

lots of pink floyd vibes going on here as well

we see a different looking blue/yellow ship flying away from the explosion. it seems to missing a lot of the parts that make sanc-iii so recognizable including the engines/wings

i like the destruction vibe they’re going for here, really sells the “universe destroying power” the twins are supposedly going to get. 

anyway, in addition to the cover art pieces, we also got a few concept art pieces as well!

this bit which looks like a gun

you see the aiming mechanism up there? you see how it’s aimed at that planet/moon? yeah i 100% timed this so you’d see the above concept art with this immediately after :P (im kidding i didn’t but hey now you don’t have to scroll)

fuck yeah babey

we also have seen something similar to this in the gameplay trailer!

i didn’t actually think it was a giant fucking GUN tho. can we get an F in chat for Promethea and/or whatever else this thing gets aimed at

yooo

i thought this was opportunity at first cuz of the bridge but it’s more likely promethea

when u go meet zer0 you can see some water surrounding the city so i would guess this is somewhere else on promethea

im mostly interested in the giant fuckin triangle in the middle of that courtyard looking area

oh also the giant trench of destruction on the right there. that’s probably important, too.

more concept art!

i think the bottom of the 4 VHs is actually what was leaked in january.

some art of the twins on the left there, tyreen is so much shorter than troy omfg

and this does indeed looks to be a younger version of angel so credit to @prettypinkdork for mentioning that on my angel post. it is nice to see those tech-y wings in action, definitely does prove it’s her.

we can also see this art of what i think is Punk Girl, which is interesting to me because she looks to be doing something with her right hand. possible siren powers? maybe! 

we also get a much cooler, bigger version of that maliwan ship people were talking about, with what look to be maliwan... eye bots? surrounding it. this is soooo fuckin awesome to me because it reminds me of a sailboat. and airships are fucking COOL

but something interesting is that i don’t think this ship was actually always maliwan

we got an A in the back here... for Atlas? i mean... you know it’s coming... the colors would match up. Yeahhhhhhh...

more interesting is that it actually looks like maliwan covered it up with their flags/tarps. i would not be surprised if this was claimed by maliwan possibly during the takeover.

a cyclone, with a whole fuckin lot of detail. just... holy shit.

not much else to say here though. i like the stuffed animal on the side, though

a better shot of jakobs manor which holy shit looks badass as fuck

big turret/observation thing on the right there? im not sure

pretty sure this is eden-6. also more tropical trees? possibly a water planet? but maybe just ocean on eden-6. also there seems to be like webbing on whatever is on the road, so maybe some spider-like wildlife?

most important to me is this

yeah i would bet that’s eridium/slag/the chemical sludge from elpis

im pretty convinced this is something on elpis mostly because the DAHL logo on the side. which again, they were on pandora yes but they were mining for iridium not eridium. if this was pandoran pumping stations, that would be hyperion.

i do think this is elpis. and i do think the twins are using the chemical sludge that mutated the lost legion into those fake siren things to give their followers superpowers.”holy holy holy” indeed.

this, plus the rakk wings on the psycho in the mask of mayhem are just convincing me more and more

that’s all for now folks. i gotta run

[adrrianraines]

hi! i just started playing choices, and i wanted to hear your opinion on what books are worth spending diamonds for and what books aren't. thank you so much :))

hi there love, welcome to the fandom!! enjoy the circus! it gets rowdy but it’s entertaining– 🤡

i just wanna tell u that my opinion may differ from others so you’re free to seek other opinions too if you deemed my answer unsatisfacory ! so lemme list to u what books are worth to waste diamonds on and which ones are not in my opinion. the ones i might have not mentioned are probably in between or in the middle.

so, for diamond spending, if you’re kinda on the economic budget level of can afford to purchase some-many, then these books are the bomb and would definitely be worth your penny.

i. : bloodbound. pretty ironic huh considering i’m a bloodbound idiot myself. lmao. but it’s worth every penny if u haven’t farmed enough diamonds! also yes you can farm in this app. the reward system is pretty generous once u know how to utilize it. tho some LIs wouldn’t have an immediate diamond option while others have one almost immediately, just weigh whether u need to purchase it or not. the diamond scenes for each LI is equally compelling and incredibly worth it. what i do tho for the most efficient way of spending those ingame currencies is that i don’t buy all outfits. u don’t actually need it. some scenes may suggest but honestly? ive tried having the outfits and not having it and it’s not that much of a difference. i keep the diamonds to spend for important scenes such as the tapestries for back stories and some diamond scenarios that might be informative/entertaining. i’ve bought all diamond options for Adrian so sue me

ii. : the royal romance/heir. same thing with bloodbound. sure, the hair options are majestic. the outfits? have u seen other books release stylish outfits? i personally have not. it’s really magnificent. although sometimes pb milks it, if you’re smart & can live with letting down ur LI for not spending a penny on their vanilla smuts and group gatherings then you’re good to go! just spend it on important pieces of scenes/info that are being paywalled by pb for god knows what reason. trust me, you might be baited but not all diamond options are actually worth it. i love trr/trh don’t get me wrong but this bitch is poor so sure as heck not gonna spend my diamonds like a mad banshee on random shenanigans.

iii. : open heart. dear god. the backbone of all those reused faces in like whatever new book that comes out with pb as of late. jesus. btw the diamond options are worth it! i like to spend diamonds for my LI and some options that are needed by the plot. you’ll know which are those once u get to start the book! i just don’t buy anything related to appearances unless it’s necessary to the plot. pb ain’t gonna bait this broke bitch because if my LI truly loves me they’ll accept me even if i wear a garbage bag

iv. : platinum. okay? where should i begin? because u actually need diamonds in this book? hello? i started this book without spending diamonds and where did that take me? a broken guitar, missed opportunities and slow rising fanbase lmao. so please do yourself a favor, save up and check out walkthroughs on how to survive being a star without spending diamonds like crazy. there are actually various options available but u can check it urself so u will be guided. i made terrible choices with my brokeass here and let’s just not talk about that

v. : it lives anthology ( it lives in the woods & it lives beneath ) anyone who knew my ass will know that i’m so much of a cheapskate that i didn’t spend a single diamond on this godtier book and i survived just fine. u can check walkthroughs but i doubt it’ll be much of a help since most of the critical choices are timed and u need to use 200% of ur brain to survive this mess. lmao. okay not 200% but u get my point. ilitw requires to many diamond options to raise nerves of ur crew but u will be fine if u just spend it on important stuff. BUT SURPRISE BITCH LMAO EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT OTHERWISE U R DEAD OR UR FRIENDS ARE DEAD LMAO. but in ilitw u can save the maximum survivors by just making all the right choices!

don’t even get me started on ilb. it lives beneath? THE BITCH DIES BENEATH. LIKE HOW– THE AUDACITY– i lost a fucking pinky because i was too much of a coward to spend my nonexistent diamonds. like how dare thee! lmao. just... just spend ur diamonds for this for the most critical and crucial circumstances. make the correct choices and then you’re good to live. it also has options on where u don’t need to spend diamonds but still making the correct choices under pressure either by timed or by confusion contributes greatly to this story.

vi. : nightbound. YES. YES PLEASE. nightbound is 100% worth to spend on. have u seen that hair? god i love that ombre color!! also uhhh please buy some weapons for ur own good lmao. and just be wise on where those diamonds are going. i always stick by a rule whenever it comes to spending ingame currencies– don’t buy if it’s not necessary to the plot. just purchase what is important, collect information to unlock scenes at the end and choose ur choices wisely. don’t die.

vii. : the elementalists. now. this book. GDI THIS BOOK. this is freaking diamond book???? whenever u spend ur day with ur LI gosh it will ask for diamonds. ( ily beckett dear but ur gf is a brokeass bitch & i cant always spend time with u picking flowers or hanging out with merpeople /crying obscenely ) there are diamond options here that are more important than the smexy scenes with ur LI. diamond options that will allow u to learn things and get equipments that will be ultra useful for the story and plot. what i love about this book is that it’s so personalized to the point that u might feel u truly r ur mc that’s why u might be compelled to purchase things such as outfits and etc but honestly? i went to the dance with the most lameass garb but still got to enjoy it just the same. but the diamonds you spend to learn new infos and heighten ur power? those are the most worth it tbfh. also some non diamond options are actually good than the diamond ones so enjoy familiarizing the world of brokeass people while playing. that’s just me telling u that since im broke i didnt get to glimpse those diamond options sob

viii. : a courtesan of rome. YOOOOOOO this book is wild lmao! i’m incredibly torn whether to tell u to waste ur diamonds for ur LIs or be frugal and choose wisely. follow ur heart while playing this. i absolutely loved how, even if not wearing the most delightful garbs, ACOR mc still kills it as a courtesan. u know what they say, true beauty shines even in the darkest places or the smarmiest set of clothes. she can wear a guard’s armor and she still be slayin. very pretty. i’m in awe.

ix. : perfect match. more like the perfect way to go broke lmao. honestly a god tier book. spend wisely and watch out for options that will ask u to spend diamonds to contribute to the plot. some options will ask u like honestly the other books so by now you know what to do. stay for the plot. it’s really great. and while u r playing please tell eros they suck. 😌

x. : mother of the year. i beg of you to spend ur diamonds on ur child please they deserve the world.

xi. : desire and decorum. honestly speaking i haven’t done that much diamond spending except for my upcoming wedding in book 3 so yes. same applies with what i said, look out and watch for options that will require u to spend but will provide u juicy information as a result. i haven’t bought a single outfit for my mc. i just bought diamond options for my LI and some for some important info and perhaps a bit of information for investigations.

xii. : ride or die: a bad boy romance. GOD. SPEND THOSE DIAMONDS. SPEND THOSE DIAMONDS 🚨🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL I TELL YOU. lmao jk but heyyyy god tier book with worth it purchases ! awesome character designs whispers mona eherm i’ll probably replay to try colt’s route since i’ve honestly only been all about mona for this book but yes. worth the diamonds ! in this book i have spoiled myself and honestly every diamond purchase with the mpc is super duper ultra worth it !

xiii. : books like wishful thinking, veil of secrets, endless summer, the crown and the flame are god tier books that are incredibly worth it for ur diamonds. trust me. tcatf actually has a point system where u can gain in game points and can choose whether to use it or use diamonds for certain options. honestly godtier. endless summer has an interesting way in gaining and losing nerve points and relationship points too! veil of secrets needs ur diamonds for investigation and clue finding and wishful thinking has a very unique premise. everything is worth it.

xiv. : i’m adding the freshman series because /zig ortega/ is worth every penny please and also HSS Class Act and HSS. if you’ve played pb’s highschool story which is a separate app then you’ll enjoy these books.

some books like AME and RCD will require u to spend diamonds for options and might demand it for the plot but i got through everything there and really u can play it without doing so.

honey please don’t spend diamonds for home for the holidays and sunkissed. please. i beg of you. unless u spend diamonds for eliana then fine forgiven but ugh. just please no.

the books i haven’t mentioned like RoE is something i honestly wouldn’t mind with or without spending diamonds. the story is just the same. some are paywalled options. leo’s options are actually interesting since it will shed some light for cordonia but i havent seen pb tackle it directly to the main trr series so idk about that.

others can add some info too to help our dearest friend here so if you must, feel free to jump the ship and add 💞✨

An X Co. Xmas

12 Days of Christmas OTP Challenge

Day 1: Character A and Character B, sworn enemies, are chosen to prepare the company Christmas Party.

A/N: well this is starting off great im already late on the first day, but i was getting wrecked by uni and wanted to do some research first so please correct me if i made any mistakes concerning Hanukkah! This is actually so long but I had a lot of fun writing it <3 Also i recently started binge watching the office and i just finished my finals which incidentally was for management so here goes!

❄  ❊  ❄  ❊  ❄  ❊

i. an infuriating announcement

"You're shitting me, Ro," you deadpan, already feeling like giving up. "Can't someone else do it? Anyone?!"

"Sorry, the rest of the team already have their assignments for the month, and this is yours— and Peter's."

Being in charge of the big X Company Christmas party is an event you've wanted to take the lead on since you joined this department, but being paired up with none other than Peter Maximoff, makes this the best opportunity and the worst case scenario.  

"But he's an idiotic man-child!" You're not even sure how he made his way up to being part of this project management team. You assume it must have something to do with his father being co-chairman of the company. "Yesterday he ordered fifteen pizzas under my name!"

"To be fair, you did glue all his pens and pencils together last week," she smirks, and lets out a small laugh at the memory. "In any case, the project groups for this month have been divided by aptitudes and experience like they always are, and you two ended up together because everyone else was matched up with other projects. I know you two don't exactly get along the best, but upper management is on my ass and the rest of the team is already totally booked with the hectic holiday season."

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Sorry, babe," she apologizes, and give you a sympathetic lopsided smile.

"What's the use of being best friends with the boss if I can't get sorted with a better partner," you grumble with a playful smile, because you obviously love Ororo, but you're not sure how long you'll last without wanting to do something that might land you in HR.

"If it's any consolation, he's not thrilled about being your partner either."

  ❄  ❄  ❄

ii. an idiotic man-child

"This obviously isn't working out—"

"We can't agree on anything—"

"You two are supposed to be coordinating this event together—" Ororo ducks her head between her hands and exhales out of exasperation as she rubs her temples.

"She locked me in the conference room!"

"He put all my office supplies in Jell-O!"

"You need to stop bickering like children and get your shit together!" She stands from her desk, chiding you and Peter. You both sit in adjacent chairs in front of her and you feel like you're back and school and have landed yourself in the principal's office. "I can't be babysitting you constantly, so you'll just have to pull it together and figure it out before you get kicked off this team!"

You and Peter nod in unison, and then exchange side glares at each other when Ororo is sitting back down. She is an amazing manager, and to be fair you and Peter had spent the last thirty minutes complaining about one another, so it's understandable that her patience is running thin.

She takes a moment to collect herself, smoothing out her skirt and tucking a loose strand of hair back into her tight bun. "As I've told you before, it's too late to add or exchange team members with their assignments this month, but I can give you the intern to help you out."

"Kurt?"

"Yes, I've already sent him a memo and he'll be back in the bullpen waiting for you." With that, she dismisses you, and you walk out of her office with Peter following right behind you.

"I hope you don't plan on nagging the intern to death, wouldn't want to scare the poor kid away," he taunts you, catching up to your quicker walking pace to beside you.

"I hope you can actually do your job for once, so that he won't have to do it for you," you retort, without even glancing his way.

"Chill, princess—"

"We don't all have a boss for a father who will help us float to the top— I had to work my ass off to get here and I'm not going to let you drag me down!" You're fuming, and judging by the slight falter in his usual smirk, you think you might have gone too far.

He doesn't say anything for a moment, and then you see Kurt smiling and waving at both of you from across the room. You offer him an awkward smile and Peter gives him a weak wave, both of you dampened from your exchange.

There's no point in wasting any more time with the fast-approaching deadline, so you turn to him, totally neutral and say, "We have work to do, let's just delegate tasks and check up on each other later."

  ❄  ❄  ❄

iii. an unmethodical arrangement

"Damn it!" Peter shouts from his desk, and you look up at him from your computer, distracted by his sudden outburst. He slams the phone back into place in hanging up, and you raise an eyebrow at him. "That's the third band to cancel," he says, exhaling slowly to calm himself down.

He was in charge of music, and as the project deadline approaches with the holidays, it's getting harder to lock down on services. Even you're having a hard time trying to find a restaurant that's available to cater. You decide to give your tired eyes a rest by closing your monitor and leaning back in your chair, blinking a few times to adjust to more favourable lighting.

You're both exhausted from running around all day, and you already sent the intern home a few hours ago. Furthermore, watching the sun set so early through the widow walls, and always having to work so many hours after dark has been getting really depressing. Despite it being demanding and requiring crazy hours, you do love this job.

"Tell me about it, all the restaurants are long overbooked."

There's a moment where all you hear is the clicking of Peter's fingers gliding over the keyboard and then he speaks up, "My mom is friends with this restaurant owner who owes her a favour." He turns his monitor to show you a simplistic webpage. "It's a small family business, they're not going to be booked because they don't advertise their catering service, and they have a menu that can suit all kinds of food restrictions."

"That's great!" you exclaim, taking note of the restaurant name. "Okay, now we just need to find the music." You let out a low sigh, and pull out your planning binder to hopefully gain some inspiration or answers. This fails you, as you end up merely staring blankly at the flipping pages— that is until you fall on one in particular that could help you out. "Hey Peter," you call out to him, and he stops spinning to face you. "What about Warren?"

"What about Warren?" He asks, curious as to why you're bringing up your old teammate. You worked on a lot of projects with Warren before he got promoted to higher management last year.

"He has a bunch of connections, and he hired this great DJ for one of the big fundraisers last year. Why don't we ask him?"

"That's actually not a bad idea, I'll email him." Peter smiles, scribbling on a sticky note and posting it on his computer screen. "But I'll take care of that tomorrow morning," he thinks out loud. "Can we meet earlier tomorrow morning?"

Glancing at the clock, you wonder why the hell he would want to meet earlier since you two have been working so late. "Why?"

"Hanukkah starts tomorrow," he answers simply. "It's already been approved by management, but we are partners so I just wanna make sure you're cool with it."

"Yeah, that's fine," you reply, giving him a small smile. Honestly, this is the longest you two have gone without bickering, but it actually feels nice to be getting along with him.

"All right, I'm gonna call it quits for tonight," he says, gathering his bag and coat. "I'll see you tomorrow morning, Y/N."

"Have a good night."

  ❄  ❄  ❄

iv. an evening before

Everything since those little speed bumps you hit concerning the music and food has run really smoothly, and you and Peter have been getting along a lot better since that late night in the office. You developed a steady work flow and actually found yourself laughing at some of his lame jokes. Peter was surprised when he realized that he no longer subconsciously rolled his eyes every time you opened your mouth, and he'd feel himself light up when you greeted him in the morning.

"I think everything should be fine," Peter announces, as you check off the items on the task list.

"All the services are on schedule, and the design department is putting the final touches in the hall," Kurt reports, tucking a few stray papers back into his planner.

"All right, then you may be dismissed, we'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning to greet the caterers and waiting staff." Kurt nods, and bids you and Peter a good evening before heading off into the gentle snowfall of NYC. "We finished with an hour to spare," You smile at Peter who loosens his tie as you both gather your things and head out of the building together. "It'll give me extra time to try not to stress out about tomorrow."

Peter chuckles, and nods in agreement to your statement. "I'll be able to go surprise my sister and pick her up from school."

"You have a sister?"

"Yeah, my little sister, Wanda, she's in middle school and hates the school bus."

"I totally understand, the bus is another kind of hell."

He opens his mouth to say goodbye, but then you remember that you had something for him, and you reach into your bag to pull out a present tied up in a pretty satin bow. "Before you go, I have something for you," you say shyly, not sure why you feel a heat creeping up to your cheeks when you notice how charming Peter looks with snowflakes resting delicately on his dark eyelashes.

"What's this for?" He asks, curious about the neatly wrapped box you place in his hands.

"Today is the last day of Hanukkah isn't it?"

"Yeah," he confirms, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He tears the wrapping off, opens the box, and pulls out the dreidel you put inside. "I'm sorry, it's kind of lame— you probably have a ton of them."

"No, this is really great," he says with a smile, turning the top in his hands to admire the craftsmanship. You happened to walk past a kiosk with handmade dreidels when you had to take a different way home the previous night, and couldn't help but notice how pretty they were. "Thank you, Y/N."

A few seconds pass by awkwardly where you're both smiling, but aren't sure what to do, until Peter leans forward and wraps his arms around you, pulling you into a hug. The foreign affection from him is completely new, but surprisingly warm, comfortable, and welcome. You've just let yourself melt into the hug when he breaks off, and it's like you've been snapped out of a daze and left out in the cold. Still feeling slightly disoriented, you wish him a happy Hanukkah, and leave it at that before you make a fool of yourself. You start to head off towards the subway when Peter calls out to you.

"Do you—" He hesitates for a moment, unsure of what he's asking exactly.

"Did you say something?" You turn back around to face him and he stutters for a moment, because the sun shining perfectly on your features with snow falling all around you has him unable to process anything else around him. "Peter?"

"D-Do you want to come? I figure it's better than trying not to stress out at home alone."

Your lips curve up into a smile and you're not even conscious of how much your heart rate has picked up yet. Everything is sorted for the company party tomorrow, and you've discovered that Peter isn't too bad to be around, so what's the harm?

"Sure."

  ❄  ❄  ❄

v. an important night

"Wow—" Peter utters breathlessly, stunned by the sight of you entering the hall. Last time he saw you was less than a half hour ago, and he'd be lying if he were to say that he weren't impressed by your quick transformation. Just moments ago you were running around in your work clothes, with a clipboard and unruly hairs sticking out in all wrong places. Now that the party's started and everything is running smoothly, you seem a lot more calm and managed to fix up your hair and makeup flawlessly. He hadn't seen your dress yet, and even though he thought you were still the prettiest person in the room in your stressed out mess, you're definitely a showstopper now.

"You should wipe the drool off your chin before Y/N notices," Scott smirks at Peter as he walks up to him with Jean on his arm. As if on cue, you notice Peter and your other team members from across the room and wave at the group, a smile gracing your lips that makes Peter weak in the knees. Scott, of course, notices this and feels the need to tease him about it. "If I didn't know how much you two hate each other's guts, I'd think you might actually like each other as more than just archenemies."

"Scott, leave the poor guy alone," Jean chimes in, grinning playfully. "He obviously has it bad."

"You guys don't know what you're talking about." Peter runs a hand through his silver hair that's neatly coiffed for once. "Y/N and I are just partners on this event, and then everything is going to go back to normal," He laughs it off, despite what he just said settling uncomfortably in his mind. Working with you over the last few weeks has brought out the best in both of you; you've been getting along great, even having a couple of inside jokes, and last night he had so much fun. The way your eyes would light up with genuine interest as you listened to his explanations of the rituals, how well you seemed to fit in with his family, and Wanda, she adored you. He found himself frequently gazing at you with a goofy grin on his face, not even realizing he was staring until you'd make eye contact with him, and then he'd get all flustered from being caught.

All this to say that he's very confused about his feelings. He likes the relationship akin to friendship the two of you have developed, but he also feels something more. The thought that makes him more uncomfortable is: what will happen when this is over? Will you just be disbanded and assigned to different projects after? Will you go back to being at each other's throats, will you still be friendly with each other, or will you just never speak again unless you're assigned to the same project again?

"Peter, you need to calm down." Jean interrupts his overthinking, offering him a comforting smile. "Go ask her to dance."

"It's like you read my mind," He shoots her a wink and finishes off his drink before heading off in your direction.

"Hey Peter," You greet him after excusing yourself from a group conversation. "This is going great isn't it?"

"Y-Yeah, it's awesome."

"Who would've known we'd make a half-decent team?" You grin at him playfully, and also notice that he seems a little spaced out. "Are you okay, Maximoff?"

"Do y-you wanna dance?"

"It would be my pleasure," You extend your hand, and he takes it in his larger one, leading you to the dance floor where he slips his other arm around your waist. He starts to guide you is slow circles, feet following the rhythm of the smooth tune. Throughout the course of the song, your bodies get closer to one another, and you hope he can't tell how warm your cheeks are upon realizing this. "Wow, Peter, where'd you learn to dance like this?"

"My, uh, mom made me take lessons when I was younger," he says sheepishly, a blush creeping its way onto his face.

"I'm impressed."

The song ends, and you thank each other for the dance. This is the when you'd normally break apart, but neither of you moves— neither of you wants to. The next song starts to play and you're the only ones not moving on the dance floor.

"You look amazing, by the way," he tells you, and you feel like you're lungs are failing you.

"Thanks, you clean up real nice yourself." Another few seconds go by without anything happening, other than the tension continuously building.

"Well- th-thanks for the dance, a-and being a good partner."

Peter mentally slaps himself as you smile and start to walk off the dance floor. There's obviously something there, why didn't he do anything? Idiot. Just when he thinks he's blown his only chance, you spin on your heel and march back to the spot he hasn't moved from, pull him down by the shoulders to press your lips against his. He barely has time to process what's happening before you pull back, leaving him reeling.

"Whoa," is all he can manage to get out. It was only a few seconds, but your kiss took all the air out of his lungs.

"May I have this dance?" You ask nervously, taking a shot at the dark, hoping he feels the same way you do.

He doesn't say anything else, unable to keep the goofy grin off his face. Instead of speaking, he wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you flush against his body and leans in for another kiss. His soft lips move against yours gently, and as you let your eyes flutter shut, you feel that same warmth as when he first hugged you the previous night.

When you break apart, neither of you can keep the smiles off your face, and you happily let him lead you in circles on the dance floor.

  ❄  ❄  ❄

vi. an extra scene

Peter hugs you from behind and presses a quick kiss to your cheek before heading to his desk.

"Congrats you two!" You and Peter both jump at Ororo's less-than-subtle entrance. "The party was a hit, and upper management wants to add you to the New Year fundraiser event planning team!"

You both thank her for the opportunity and accept the detail files she hands you.

"Oh, and congrats for the other thing too," She says, gesturing between you and Peter. "You know what that means, right?"

"We get a raise for organizing the party of the year?" Peter half-jokingly suggests.

"Real funny," she chuckles, making her way to her office. "You're going to have to file this with HR, now."

25 for all of them pls

are... are you trying to kill me...? this is THIRTY FACTS. THIRTY. im doing it but im not happy about it! (jk this was fun, thank you~) 

(from the list 5 things ask game)  

alright, hopefully tumblr let’s me put a cut on this. if it doesn’t... welp. sorry for the long post, guys.

25. random facts

Alinora Mynerva

doesn’t know how to cook. at least, not well. she knows how to roast things over a fire and how to boil oats, but that’s the extent of it. it was never something she was taught, or saw the need to learn how to do.

used to have tea and play chess with the Swan’s grandmaster about once a week. he thought it was a good idea for them to get to know each other outside of work. neither of them ever did much talking, though.

hardly eats anything other than fruit, and it drives the people around her crazy. “don’t you want to eat something else?” they ask politely, a touch desperately. “nope. i’m fine.” and then the other person goes through all five stages of grief. 

broke a boy’s nose on her first day of training & had to walk him to the nurse. said boy end up getting a crush on her that she. never. noticed. i think i’ve said this one before but i think it’s funny, so have it again.

there was a solar elf who lead one of Swans guildposts down south who tried to recruit Alinora every time she visited Mharani. Alinora thought it was very amusing, but her fellow apprentices always got really upset about it. 

Elaena

out of all her siblings thus far, Elaena is the only one who can shift into a bird. the rest of them seem stuck with various breeds of dogs and cats. (ranging from the small domesticated kind to types you wouldn’t want to meet out in the wild.) she’s a little smug over it.

loves her father more than anything in the world, & always does whatever she can to make his life easier/help him out. those around them would also say that Elaena is his favorite child, so obviously the affection is mutual.

really enjoys human food and before Kai’os did his thing, used to make trips to all the different countries to try specialized dishes. she doesn’t partake much now, though, since she doesn’t need it & knows the others do.

has a wicked, if morbid, sense of humor. it doesn’t show up much--at least not lately--but when it does... well. it cracks Elaena up like nothing else. which is all that matters, in her opinion.

her favorite food is pomegranates. 

Lyr Inerra

in his early teens, Lyr had the bright idea to go challenge a nesting gryphon. he didn’t know it was nesting at the time, of course, and quickly paid for his ignorance. he did brag to Tali about the scar later.

famous for doing stupid dares, including jumping out of trees (and breaking his leg in the process) as well as eating dirt. and, one time, a worm. as he got older he started only doing dares if there was payment involved.

always had various scrapes and bruises growing up, and while he’s better protected now, will frequently still find them scattered across his body.

broke numerous wooden swords by i) breaking them in ‘sparring’; ii) lighting them on fire; iii) using them as a walking stick and leaning on them too hard; iv) and one memorable time, dropping it off the side of the Illuminaran mountain. 

Talitha taught him to dance, because “if she had to learn, so did he.” their lessons usually ended up with one or both of them collapsed in a heap on the floor, though. 

Ava Inerra

she first started putting flowers in her hair when she was eight. after that, she never stopped. Lyr tries to tell people that one of those flowers is still the original. Ava lets him, but unfortunately, it isn’t the truth.

once had to cut her hair really short after an unfortunate accident involving mud & honey. it was very cute on her but she hated every minute of it, and cried while it was being cut.

once made a flower crown for every member of the tribe, and almost all of them wore it dutifully.

used to make up songs to sing while she tended whatever garden patch she was growing at their current campsite. she always liked to leave behind trees or flowers where they camped, as a sort of thank you to the earth.

nursed multiple animals back to health but kept none of them, though she did have a bluebird that followed her around for a while. 

Talitha Jade

won her first ship after defeating a pirate captain in a duel. twice. the second time... he didn’t make it.

has gone through several crew members. several. mostly because they didn’t like that she doesn’t engage in “traditional” pirate acts. 

has absolutely flirted with and had relations with merfolk. she’s on decent terms with most of them.

has had to be talked out of buying a parrot. she wants one because “its like a badge of office for pirate captains!” people have to remind her that they’re in danger too often. (Aishlynn also doesn’t think she could keep it alive.)

has a place in her room where she can hang upside down, because it “helps her think.” 

Aishlynn Mynerva

when she first met Talitha, her first thought was, “finally, i’m not the only competent one around here.” she quickly retracted that thought, and then had to think it again, but more begrudgingly this time. 

was actually in Mynera at the same time as Alinora was, though neither of them knew it. if she had been a tad bit later, or if Alinora had come back home earlier, they might have run into each other.

her most prized possession is her father’s signet ring. her mother gave it to her not long after she was claimed as a Slaeyr, so she would always have a piece of home with her. 

when she left Mynera she also left behind her da’lia, as a way of rejecting her birth culture. she came to regret that as she got older, but she never did go back for him, despite meaning to.

Aishlynn has only ever met two people she can just... be around. without trying to impress them, constantly. of those two people, one of them died at the start of the war. the other is Asa.

Hello my love

Author’s note: Mentioned edit huehueHellooo!

Thank you so much for your sweet words and the prompt ahhhhh this ask keepsmaking me smile uwu 

Summary: Takes place at the end of episode 13 when Takano has Ritsu pinned to the floor. Drunk Ritsu is a lot more daring than usual and decides to get creative when he tries to escape.

Word count: 1k 

His headwas spinning. Damn, the alcohol haddefinitely done a good ass job. Emotions were all over the place; one minuteRitsu was ready to rip Takano’s head off and throw it out the window, the nexthe was crying over him. And now, he was lying on the floor, handspinned on either side of his head, staring up at his boss through teary eyes.

Badum. Rational and emotional voices were having WorldWar III in his cloudy head, because yes, Takanowas telling him to get a grip, but also no,because Takano was telling him to agrip. His moral compass was just gone, he couldn’t think straight anymore.The emotional voice was causing his heart to pound like crazy, while his rational one was hissing at him to move.

“When theperson you like is right in front of you, then of course it’s hard to keepprivate life and business separate, so don’t provoke me because I won’t be ableto stop.”

Oh, Takanowas leaning down. His face was very close. And getting closer. Getting way too close, holy shit, okay, abort, abort!

Okay, they were kissing. Takano’s grip on his wrists was still going strong and Ritsuhad never hated his life more. On one hand, he wanted this more than anything,but on the other hand, he hated himself for wanting this in the first place and needed to push Takano off him.

Someaggressive words blubbered out of his mouth and they were far from polite, but Ritsucouldn’t really care at this point. Takano went a little lower and startednipping at his jaw and neck, making him even more lightheaded than he alreadywas. The alcohol was fuelling the warmth that was currently spreading throughhis entire body like wildfire, his heart had picked up the pace and was nowbeating as if there was no tomorrow and breathing was becoming hard as well.

He had todo something. The grip on his wristsbecame a little looser, probably because Takano was getting carried away, andRitsu racked his useless brain, desperately wanting to come up with an idea toget away. Pushing him away never really worked and neither did yelling at himbecause Takano was stupidly stubborn like that, so he had to get creative.

… Okay,this was definitely the alcohol’sdoing. He never would’ve thought ofdoing this if he had been sober, but desperate times call for desperatemeasures.

Ritsumanaged to free his hands and immediately reached for Takano’s sides, squeezingright below his ribs. To his surprise, it actually worked.

“Wh— Onodera!”

The mosthilarious noise that had ever come out of Takano’s mouth reached his ears andhe was about to laugh at it, but then of course, the other fell right on top of him. Theair was knocked out of both of them, but his drunk body didn’t mind the weight thatmuch, so he peacefully continued to tickle his boss. Ritsu never thought he’dexperience Takano gasping for breath and moving awkwardly on top of him, butwell, there they were.

“O-Onodera,stop, you idiohot!” Takano yelped andcurled in on himself, nose scrunched up in a kind of cute way and slightly redlips curled into a big smile.

His breathylaughter was so out of character that Ritsu wanted to treasure this moment. Hedid a silent prayer that he would remember this the next morning and that hisfuture sober ass would have the balls to pull this stunt again. Was it becauseTakano didn’t want to take advantage of him or was he actually too weak fromlaughter to get away?

Largerhands reached for his own, so Ritsu simply shoved his hands under Takano’sshirt and scribbled his fingers all over his lower back and hips. It was thanksto An-chan he had some experience with tickle fights and that he knew he’d have the upper hand as long as Takanocouldn’t reach his hands.

“Can’tbelieve I never thought of this before,” he mumbled both to himself and thewrithing Takano.

“Ah! I’ll— Shit! Onodora, get off!”

Ritsusimply ignored him, forever grateful that he had the privilege of hearingTakano’s voice reaching such high pitches. He secretly hoped that Yokozawa hadnever heard him laugh like that and the thought of him being the only one inTakano’s life who was allowed to listen to this made him feel beyondvictorious.

He let hishands crawl a little higher so they were positioned at his ribs and startedsqueezing at random spots, listening intently to make sure he hit the rightspots. Turned out that his upper ribs were the most ticklish and he intended touse that valuable information.

Takano wasa sputtering and squawking mess, caged between Ritsu’s legs and arms, faceburied in his chest. His hair was brushing against Ritsu’s nose and it actuallysmelled really nice.

Shit, he was really drunk. And he was really going toregret this later, but it was totally worth it.

“I-will-fucking-kick-your-ass-if-you-don’t-stop,”Takano managed to bring out through his endless stream of laughter and Ritsu didfeel a little intimidated, but his drunk ass didn’t care and dared to reach forhis underarms, which turned out to be an even worse spot. “Ritsu!”

Now that was interesting. Ritsu’s heartskipped a beat upon hearing his name, still not used to Takano calling himthat.

Takanoquickly tried to roll away, but Ritsu’s hands were still under his shirt so hewas sort of dragged along and was the one to end up on top this time. It was alsoprobably because Takano had wrapped his arms around his waist. Again, Ritsu wasdrunk and wasn’t the brightest at the moment.

“Hey, I wastickling you,” Ritsu muttered and let his fingers dance over the skin thatwas still accessible to him.

This time,however, Takano was prepared and tickled him back twice as hard. Ritsuinstantly doubled over, shrieking with laughter because, apparently, he was waymore ticklish and pulled his hands back to shield himself.

A few cursewords escaped and he was pretty sure he called Takano a sore loser, but he didget enveloped in a bear hug afterwards.

“Dummy,”Takano breathed into his ear, which suddenly felt very hot. “I’m glad you’restill playful, though. I missed that.”

Ritsu couldonly hum in response, too tired and flustered to function. He vaguelyregistered getting kissed again for a few seconds before it went back to simplylaying there, safe and sound in Takano’s arms. His lips were curled up into alazy smile and he closed his eyes, ready to fall asleep right there and then.

The next morning was a little less peaceful, though. Takano was looming over himmenacingly, hands ready to attack while Ritsu was uselessly trying to coverhimself up with the sheets and pillow.

Unfortunately,Ritsu couldn’t remember much from the night before and absolutely lost it whenTakano told him that he had resorted to tickling,of all things. The mere thought flusteredhim to no end and he wanted to die more than anything.

“Well, youdid, and you were pretty proud of it, too.”

Ritsu placedthe pillow over his head. “I am so sorry! Please forgive me! No, Takano-san, Iswear— I was drunk! I Nooo, ack! Please don’t tickle me!”

In the end,Takano did run a few fingers through his bangs and whispered that he thought itwas cute, so maybe drunk him hadn’t ruined his life completely. Wait no, he totally did, he shouldn’t be glad about the fact Takano called him cute.

Ugh, life was so unfair. And so was Takano’s laugh.
