#Also I never did dramatic lighting like this before.. I'm very happy with it :D

Hemo has had enough

[queen-susans-revenge]

Thank you to both @oenothera5 and @doodlingbreak, who asked me to list five things that make me happy or that I'd like others to know about me. This seems like a good day to practice gratitude so I'll focus on the happy things.

My cats, Luna and Stella, who are fuzzy and soft to touch. They have triangle ears and whiskery noses and beautiful blue eyes and toe beans on their feet, and if all that wasn't enough already, they also purr. Stella likes to wake me up in the middle of the night by sitting on my pillow and I never even mind it, because she purrs when she does it, so it's always like "oh! Thank you! I am honored by this mouthful of cat fur in the small hours of the morning."

My three boys. The oldest is 17 now which feels absolutely unreal. I was so afraid that puberty would change them and make them mean, but actually, they are still just as sweet as ever. They are my gift to the world. They are the best parts of me, and they'll go on when I am gone. I worry about my youngest, because he is autistic and only partially verbal, and it seems increasingly unlikely that he'll be able live independently. My major life project for whatever years remain to me (I'm being dramatic, I'm not even fifty yet) is to make sure he'll have a good life even after I'm gone.

My little house! It is small, two bedrooms and a little under 1350 square feet. But it's an arts and crafts bungalow with a lot of historic touches (built-ins, wood paneling, some of the original light fixtures) and it was just so intelligently put together that it's possible for five people to live here and not feel like we're constantly tripping over each other. The three boys share a room (bunk beds for the win), but in addition to the bedrooms there's separate living and dining rooms, a breakfast nook, and two small bonus spaces that Sam and I have claimed for offices. (My office was probably originally a sleeping porch, as it's off the main bedroom, separated by french doors. His might have been a cloakroom or sitting room, we're not sure. They're snug, but big enough for a desk and bookshelf apiece.) Rooms! I love rooms. Will never understand the fad for open floor plans. Rooms let you have doors that you can close. The kids often spread out; usually my eldest will set up his laptop on the dining table, while the middle boy works on his computer in the breakfast nook and the youngest sort of bounces around. There's a half-wild backyard too. I wrote about it here. Right now the camillas are blooming in the backyard and I can see them from my office window. They are so pretty.

My husband Sam, who I love and who loves me. I know that he loves me because he gets up first every morning and makes the coffee, and then brings me a cup of coffee and a kiss in bed. Every single morning. We recently celebrated our 18th anniversary. It is wonderful to love and be loved.

Friends! My friends are mostly online. In fact I am practically a shut-in: the last group I was in was a scouting group for the boys, but we wound that down just before the pandemic hit, and I feel no need to go out and join any more. I rarely leave the house except for daily walks. Even when the boys were smaller and I was doing a lot of school volunteering, I had "mom friends" but they did not feel deeply connected to me. How could they? They don't play D&D or read sci-fi or share any of the imaginative life that is so important to me. They were colleagues, and now we don't work together any more. Sam is a homebody too, so we don't really go out. My bff and I met in college a full thirty years ago, but we have lived on opposite coasts since I moved to California in 2000. We chat on Discord, just as I chat with the newer friends I've mostly met through gaming or social media. I have a very low social battery so I'm good with like, one fairly active Discord server and occasional one-on-one chats with friends. My main sorrow in life is that my SWTOR guild server has petered out to very little activity; I have a wholly unreasonable but deeply held grudge against Final Fantasy for poaching so many of them away.

Those are my five favorite things (not in order), but a big shoutout to books and games, which also sustain my everyday existence. Oh and food! I cook dinner for the fam most nights and I've become a really good cook. It's very gratifying when my boys tell me that they love my cooking.

I am supposed to tag other people for the meme, but I always feel awkward about that, because I'm half afraid it would be an imposition and half afraid to offend anyone I don't mention. So to anyone who sees this and would like to list your own happy-making things, I would be very interested to get a glimpse into your lives!

Growing and Connecting Minds

So! It's been a very long time not writing here. Usually I've only come here whenever I have a very sad moments.. But life is like this sweety, so many up and downs.

Here I am finally crossed my 26 year of my life. I feel like.. I finally have let go so many things in a good way.

Probably it's true early 20 it's a very dramatic quarter life crisis. Not to mention I did have some unfortunate circumstances, that makes me a freaky melancholic weirdo with depressing thought everyday.

Now it has been passed x years after that circumstances.. Also I already feel more mature and stability in emotions.. It feels like I have already passed a big exam in my stage of life.

Looking back the things that used to irritated me easily.. Now I can recognize it quickly and take control of it much better.

The depressing thoughts of uncertainty in future.. Now I've realized I got at least pretty nice job I can being so carefree (even tho uncertainty is still a mystery in this world).

I can even save up some and have some travelling to places I've never been before! Even in covid year unexpectedly my office took me to many places like maybe neighboring Malay, Thai, Labuan Bajo, Lombok, Banjarmasin, Medan, Lampung, Surabaya, even Bali three times in a year?? It feels my wish to travel to many places has been granted in unique ways.

My job also let me meets so many people. Even tho I think I've become more introverted now, I think all of them gave me better social skill aka skill sksd in office. Also I think I got better at reading the intention and building relationships in work settings.

As for some things that used to hurt me before... Now mostly I can embrace it with light heart. After coming to realization that things that is not mine will never be mine, and the time will be always right... Everything feels much easier. No more hating on regrets, and no more unnecessary envy on other happiness. Even I can let go that YSL Black Bag :D xoxo

I also realize people do have their own happiness and their own sadness. I'm trying my best not to overreact on things that beyond my control.

I still got surprised, sometimes a bit sad, sometimes extremely happy. But now just more focus on what I can controll instead letting my emotion drifted by my instant reaction.

3 seconds pause rule im conversation seems good enough for helping me clear my mind for facing unbearable condition.

5 minutes or 2 hours calming should works fine too, especially for personal matters.

But occasionally I found for work matters probably I will play more of bad cop or good cop more frequent than I should.. Well that's the art of dealing people, I guess?

But still, I can't understand 100% how men are thinking, honestly.

Not even my dad, lol honestly.

Sometimes it still so frustrating to understand why would men reacting these ways? Also why men are having difficulties in translating their thought and conveying them to the related party?

Why would they always take some reckless chain of thought and believing it's 100% fact instead confirming it?

I thought they are the human made from logic, but sometimes the logic is not logic-ing.

I thought having friends with not few males could make me have better understanding of how men would thought in some of these situations, but uh no apparently.

Ah, it seems even tho I'm already 26 y.o I still unable to understand their complex mind.

Can I have someone who will communicate their minds facilely?

As if we have connecting minds?

Ah or it seems it was me who loosing my own minds.

I SEE YOU – chapter IV

pairing – arthur fleck x female!reader

wc – 2.3k

warnings – idk... misty being a b*tch with arthur?

a/n – hi everyone! I hope you are well because I'm brazilian and I cannot say the same lol the president is a piece of shit and he can't rule the country in the middle of a pandemic (not even without the pandemic, in fact)

anyway enjoy the chapter!

English is not my first language. I am getting help from google translator and he is not always a good ally, so I apologize for any typos or grammar errors.

Y/N – your name

chapter one. chapter two.

chapter three. chapter four.

"What are you doing here, Misty?" The surprise was notable in Y/N's words.

Many people could walk through that door, but Misty was definitely not one of them.

"I should ask you the same question..." The woman came over and put her hands on the actress' shoulders, smiling amiably. "But we don't have time for that right now. You have a dinner to go! And it is not right to keep a man like Charles waiting."

"Charles?" Arthur asked, trying to find a way to join the conversation. "Is he also an actor?"

After these simple words, the redhead burst out laughing and Arthur didn't understand what he had done wrong this time. He was just curious and a little interested to know who was the man who had a date with Y/N that night.

"Actor? God, have you never heard of Charles Lewis Tiffany?" Misty questioned how if the fact that Arthur didn’t know the man was an offense to humanity and Arthur just shook his head, too embarrassed to say anything else.

Who the hell was this man? The Pope? And why did Y/N have a dinner with Pope?

"It's okay, Arthur." Always so graceful, the actress reassured him and left Misty's side to be close to him. "Charles owns Tiffany & Co., the one that appears in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's... Have you watched this movie before?"

"Oh, oftentimes!"

"Me either! And now Charles wants me to be the face of his new collection! I'm so excited, he came to Gotham just to follow it up in person!" The happiness shining in her eyes was contagious, but Misty didn’t like seeing Y/N squeeze the man’s arm gently.

"I hate to have to do this... the conversation is so pleasant, but we have to go, mon cher." With a smile, Y/N's manager adjusted the bag on her shoulder. She wanted to take the actress away from this freak as soon as possible.

"You cannot go without the VHS tape." Arthur objected, receiving a death glare from Misty, but the only thing that mattered to him was Y/N. "I'll get this for you." After these words, the man left the living room with a reason to make her stay a little longer in his apartment.

"Well, I think we're going to have to wait." Y/N shrugged, but inside she was beaming.

Feeling her mouth dry, she picked up the glass of water on the table, but that was her worst mistake.

"What are you doing? Don't drink this! That dirty glass is full of germs!" The glass was snatched from her hand and Y/N looked at Misty in disbelief.

"That glass is not dirty, Misty."

"How can you be sure of that? I heard that the Narrows sewer is one of the worst in Gotham!"

"Thanks for the lesson, but that didn’t come from the Narrows sewer. This water is from the kitchen tap."

"Oh my God..." The actress could have sworn that the woman's face turned green and she would vomit at any moment. "Why did you drink this? You'll be sick!"

Before Y/N had a chance to respond to these insanities, someone called her. She ran over to the bag and took out her cell phone. It was Charles.

"Hey, Charles! It's good to talk to you." On the other side, all she received were strange noises. The man's voice was being cut off and it was difficult to understand. "The connection is awful..."

"Why am I not surprised? Narrows is the end of the world!" Misty commented, rolling her eyes.

Without time for this discussion, Y/N said:

"Maybe in the corridor I will get a better signal."

"Be careful, you don't know what kind of neighbors there are in this place." She warned, listening to the door open and close, but Y/N said nothing.

Alone in the living room, Misty had the same disgusted look as when she arrived. For her this apartment is small even for an ant and this wallpaper is ridiculous, but in the midst of so much poverty, something on the couch attracted her attention.

"What do we have right here? I don't believe he has a diary..." The woman whispers to herself, laughing, after picking up Arthur's journal. She knew it was wrong, but she was bored.

The first few pages were OK, he had a shitty life like any other unfortunate person, but what came next scared the hell out of her. Misty knew there was something wrong with this man. The instant she saw him, she knew, but that... those words... were from a sick person. Arthur was a disgusting pervert. The redhead needed a moment to breathe and then she saw the magazines on the table and an scissors...

Oh no. He intends to include Y/N in this depravity show!

"I finally found." With bright eyes, Arthur looked for Y/N in the living room, but all he found was Misty... and his journal. "W-What... What are you d-doing?"

"Stay away from me!" She exclaimed, backing away for fear that he would do something against her. "I swear, if you get close I'll scream so loud and when Y/N comes through that door, I will tell her your little secret. She will be so disappointed, but she will finally find out who you really are... A perv!"

"N-No, please... You got it wrong." He tried, his voice taking on a desperate tone. Arthur didn't want to lose the actress's friendship. She was too important for him. "I c-can explain."

"Oh, can you explain? You will glue Y/N's head to a cat's body and then you will sit on that old sofa and touch yourself? You should be in Arkham! You're a sick person! I can't believe Y/N was alone with you..."

Arthur felt his stomach churning.

"You're wrong... I have a lot of respect for her. Y/N is special to me and I would never do something like that."

"I don't want to hear your excuses!" The woman threw the journal at him and Arthur cringed like a frightened dog. After hitting him on the back, the journal fell to the floor and when he saw those collages, he felt ashamed of himself. "Listen to me... I will say this only once: Stay away from her. It doesn’t matter what kind of fantasies you’ve created in your sick head, Y/N will not be a part of that. If I know that after today you keep talking to her, I'll call the police and when they find out you're a fucking perv, you will spend the rest of your days in Arkham." She warned with all the letters and threats, now it was up to him to choose to cooperate or not. This man is too old to play being a teenager. These images of naked women, these cats and those sad quotes in his journal prove just one thing. Maybe he's a sexual predator, but Misty wouldn't be here to find that out either. "Enjoy your pornography and leave Y/N alone. I hope I never see you again."

Arthur saw his world fall apart as soon as the redhead left his apartment with the worst assumptions about him. He was not a perverted monster. He would never touch Y/N without her consent and would never endanger her life. Never ever. Y/N was the only good thing about Gotham; she was a light at the end of the tunnel. So angelic and peaceful. Whenever she smiles, butterflies appear in his stomach and Arthur knows what these famous butterflies mean, but he doesn't know what those collages mean... If Y/N knew, she would probably be afraid of him.

In the corridor, the actress was trapped in a bubble, talking animatedly with Charles. The call had no specific reason, the man just wanted to make sure everything was fine for dinner that night.

"Okay... This is one of Gotham's best restaurants. Trust me, you will love the place!" She assured him, intending to make a good impression. It wasn't every day that she got a chance to dine with the genius behind Tiffany & Co. and represent that brand. This was an important step in her career. "Now I need to go, Charles. See you soon, bye!" Y/N hummed the ending, watching Misty approach where she was. "Why are you here?"

"It's just your friend's mom. She's not feeling very well..."

"Isn't Penny okay?" Concern crossed Y/N's face and she tried to get back to apartment 8J, but Misty took her arm, lying again:

"Y/N, don't be indiscreet. This is a family problem and Arthur is taking care of it." With those words, she guided the actress to the elevator, but Y/N kept looking at the door to Arthur's apartment. "You need to prepare for dinner... I chose a beautiful dress for you."

...

THREE DAYS LATER

"Put red on her lips... Don't forget the mascara... and on the cheeks use this blush... Not this one! The peach blush!"

It was possible to say that Charles Lewis Tiffany was taking the place of the makeup artist. The woman was losing patience, Y/N realized this, but he wanted to participate in every second of it. When she finished, Charles smiled, admiring Y/N's beauty through the mirror.

"You see? You're genuinely beautiful... I think I finally found my muse." The actress was flattered by the compliments and that reflected in her smile when Charles took a blue box, but this was not a simple blue box. This is the famous Tiffany Blue Box. "I want you to meet my new creation..." He opened the box, stealing Y/N's breath instantly. "Dramatically plunging down the decolletage, an incredible emerald-cut bicolor zoisite that shifts from violet-blue to purplish-red, depending on the angle. The pendant is over 48 carats and it's wrapped in a halo of baguette diamonds and suspended from a diamond rondelle chain of over 37 total carats."

"Oh Charles, this is absolutely beautiful. I'm speechless..." She confessed, watching him take the necklace and offer to put it around her neck. Y/N accepted immediately and when the pendant touched the white fabric of the dress, she smiled at the mirror.

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" Charles whispered, eliciting a giggle from her. "Now I need to speak to the photographer, but take a few minutes to prepare yourself." The man smiled one last time and Y/N walked to the door, opening it for him. She took the opportunity to spy on what was happening on the other side and it was possible to say that there was a little sadness in her eyes.

"What are you looking for?" Misty's voice echoed and she closed the door quickly.

"Huh... nothing!"

The woman was checking the contract – something about image authorization – and when she took her eyes off the papers, she found Y/N with a half-hearted smile.

"Go ahead... Spill the tea."

Brian was probably smoking, so Misty was her only option.

"Arthur was busy these days, but he called me this morning... He looked nervous and said he would like to talk to me, so I invited him to accompany the photoshoot, but..."

"You did what?!" Misty left the chair, interrupting her. Not wanting to start a scene, the redhead looked at Dariela, the makeup artist, and said: "Get out." The woman immediately stopped organizing her makeup and ran out of the dressing room.

"Was that necessary?" Y/N asked, crossing her arms.

"And was it necessary to invite that maniac to come here too?"

"Jesus, Misty!" She walked to the other side of the dressing room. "Manic? Really?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Based on what? His bank account?"

"Based on his journal." Misty replied and the actress looked in her direction with a frown. Shaking her head, the redhead let out a bitter laugh before confessing: "He doesn't use it just to write jokes... I found a lot of pornography on those pages."

Y/N felt a little uncomfortable with that. Certain things do not need to be exposed... She didn't need to know about that part of Arthur's life and Misty just invaded his privacy.

"Well... many men consume pornography daily."

"Y/N, pornography is not the point here. He makes some weird collages... women with cat heads... skulls... one of these women was tied up in a compromising position... Can you see how problematic this is?" Misty was trying to open her eyes and consequently was scaring the actress, but that was not all. "I saw the magazines. That man will probably do the same to you... your face on the body of these naked women or on a cat's body! You have always been uncomfortable with the way men see you only as a sex symbol... and now Arthur is using you as a sex toy!"

"Stop! Just stop, okay?" Y/N demanded, using an edgy tone of voice. That was too much for her to assimilate. "You're saying this because you do not accept the idea of ​​Arthur being my friend! All that matters to you is status, but it doesn't matter to me! When are you going to let me live my own life?"

"This is not about social classes, this man is a pervert! I'm trying to protect you!"

"Enough, Misty!" That was enough to make the redhead shut up and Y/N found her way back to the mirror.

To complete the look, inside the blue box was a beautiful diamond ring and a pair of shiny round diamond earrings, just waiting for her. Putting on the ring was an easy task, but she couldn’t say the same about earrings; her hands were shaking and this is all the fault of the stress.

"Let me help you." The manager approached and at first Y/N refused her help, but after another failed attempt, she handed the earrings to the woman. "I know I can be a bitch sometimes..."

"Sometimes?"

Misty just sighed, shaking her head.

a/n – likes and reblogs are appreciated but honestly I’d love to know what you all think of this one. really hope you enjoy it and thank you soooo much for reading ♡

[yamaoni]

The Second Great War of Remnant has begun. Once more, Vale and Mantle are embroiled in a massive conflict, only this time, they are on the same side against Atlas.

I don't think it was a coincidence that so many people drew parallels with the last episode and WWI. We've never seen people fight that way in RWBY. Grimm don't use projectile weapons the way humans do, so the benefits of the trench are diminished; especially if you compare it to the drawbacks.

Now, I understand not everyone in the Atlas military has their aura unlocked and the squishy soldiers need some cover, but if The Long Memory didn't nuke every grimm on Atlas, the lines would have been overrun and then there would have been nowhere for them to retreat to.

You think the very real hand to hand struggles in the trenches of WWI were bad, imagine being trapped in a narrow trench with a bear. Or having this thing explode out of the ground under you.

I refuse to believe no-one in Atlas ever thought, "if we put the dirt from the trench in a box, no only can we give our soldiers cover, we can also give them an elevated position to fire from."

The top of a wall has been the primary defensive position for the people of Remnant for a long time. You can see them in the establishing shots of most settled places the team has visited. So why are we seeing a trench now?

Simple.

Show, don't tell.

RWBY has done a pretty great job, especially in the last few seasons, of showing the audience what it is trying to convey without explicitly telling them. They especially like drawing from well known folk lore to give insight into the future of the show.

Only difference here, instead of drawing the parallel between characters, they're drawing parallels between worlds.

Remnant's first Great War started with Mantle suppressing freedom of expression, the destruction of Art and Color. Ironwood always has little in the way of color, but in his first broadcast since everything started hitting the fan, he has none.

That broadcast also included evacuation ships being blown up by fighter-bombers, Dunkirk. It threatend to level a city if they didn't surrender, Battle of Brittan. All delivered by a dictator trying to scare his opponents into submission through careful use of film.

Theories

If the rest of the season is WWII, I have several theories on plot direction. Considering how well they did keeping up with both ends of the battlefield it wouldn't surprise me if they followed all of them at the same time.

Operation Dunkirk

Or, the evacuation of Mantle.

Players: Penny, Nora, Ren, Happy Huntresses

The Happy Huntresses involvement is a given. Not only has saving Mantle been their goal the whole time, they're also stuck in the middle of it right now.

Penny is the Protector of Mantle. It would be a shining moment for her character to fully throw off the virus Watts implanted and overcome Ironwood's threats to do so. Just crossing my fingers that it doesn't end like the Iron Giant.

Nora is currently Penny's tether to sanity, so she has to go with, and I doubt they would separate Ren from her for the next arc so he's going too.

Surprise twist for this plot I'm betting will be the Starwars "they aren't warships, just people" scene everyone loves to rag on. After all, the broadcast went out that they needed help and, at least at Dunkirk, it was fishing boats and pleasure crafts that retrieved the 338,000 surrounded on all sides.

Why We Fight

Or, countering Ironwoods propaganda.

Players: Robyn and Qrow

For one, these two are unaccounted for and in the heart of Atlas' military machine. If anyone has means to do so, it's them.

The film, Why We Fight, also countered the dramatic cinematography of Goebbels propaganda by painting it as ridiculous and making a folksy call to action much like Robyn has done in the past.

Operation Fortitude

Or, the deception of Ironwood.

Players: Emerald, Jaune, Oscar

This is the mission to make Ironwood think the team is going after the relic. This theory is why I actually thought of and wrote out this whole thing. Thanks @maxiemumdamage, I had things I was supposed to do tonight.

https://maxiemumdamage.tumblr.com/post/644291955872890880/willing-to-bet-my-own-soul-that-emerald-uses-her

Only difference in my theory and their's, is Jaune is going to be playing the part of Penny.

I say this for two reasons. One, Joan of Arc pretended to be a man. While we've gotten both Jaune pretending to be something he's not and him in a dress, this would pose the first time in the story he could do both. Two, it would put him on a direct collision path with Cinder. It needs to happen at some point to bring his arc to a conclusion, but man I hope we're not about to watch him burn.

With Ozpin active again, Oscar has to go along to direct them to the vault. He's also one of two backing the idea of Emerald joining the team and Jaune wouldn't be willing to work with her without him.

Operation Overlord

Or, busting down the doors of Atlas Acadamy.

Players: Ruby, Blake, Weiss, Yang

Where Operation Fortitude was the faint, Operation Overlord was the real deal. For those that aren't history buffs, this is D-Day.

I think this is the reason we've only seen the main team fighting together once since their split from Beacon. And even then, that fight was at most pairs of fighters and not all four of them supporting one another.

RWBY tricked us into thinking season 4 was the post-timeskip level up we come to expect from anime when really we ended up watching the training flashbacks as they happened instead.

We've seen hints of it with the various team ups and combinations, but are we really ready for how much ass kicking they are about to do?

I'm hoping for a One Piece level of badass entrance that can give me shivers whenever I go to watch it again like the walk to Arlong Park still does to this day.

(Aside: if you try telling me RWBY isn't anime, I'm just going to ignore you. Anime is an art movement. If you don't understand what that means, watch this video. https://youtu.be/uFtfDK39ZhI)

Now last and certainly not least

Operation Valkyrie

Or, the death of Ironwood.

Players: Winter and Marrow

The long awaited defection. Plenty of speculation has already floated around about if and when these two where going to cave to their morals and jump ship. I don't know how many of us were expecting the straw to break the camel's back to be a nuke held over Mantle, but I certainly wasn't.

What worries me, is Operation Valkyrie failed and all its conspirators were executed. As if there weren't enough death flags for Winter before.

Even if it's not Winter that kills him. I don't see Ironwood surviving this season. Even if it means he goes out like another hated dictator. It's not like it would be the first time RT had a fallen hero chose to use his own sword.

Wildcards

Or, Murphy will have his due.

Players: Cinder, Watts, Neo, Tyrian, Mercury, Clover

These players can go any which way. Three we know for sure are going to be active in the coming episodes and I wouldn't be surprised if the other three play a part as well.

Oscar made a hell of a light show for Tyrian and Mercury to see behind them. Not to mention, Salem will still need a ride home when she pulls herself back together.

Clover keeps getting mentioned even though he's hospitalized. If he was truly out of commission for the rest of the season, they would have made us think he's dead before bringing him back like they did with Penny.

Up to now, what we've seen is a three way conflict. But one of the hallmarks of Remnant's First Great War, was making temporary alliances to fight off grimm.

The grimm might be gone, but the wild cards can't complete their own objectives if they are dead. The question is who's goals better align with their own.

Two surprise twists I can see here. One, Mercury stabbing Tyrian on his way to defection. He was raised by an assassin and has not going to get a better chance than that. Two, Clover joining Operation Valkyrie. He might have accepted that sacrifice is a necessary evil to ensure Atlas' survival, but might go Schindler's List on us and find horror in what Ironwood plans to do.

TLDR

I spent way too long writing this out. All the WWI imagery means we're getting a WWII movie with RWBY characters. Major death flags for Penny, Jaune, and Winter.

Also I finally figured out how to do a readmore. Apparently it's just been a long time since I updated.

Note: kept seeing things talking about clovers death and I kind of went ???? Isn't he barely alive in medical? Went back and watched that scene and though I am 90% sure he is dead still kind of weird that they have him in his own room instead of a morgue and the initial framing made my mind instantly think he was propped up on a hospital bed. I mean, I guess we needed to have all the ACEOPs there for their reaction to Ironwood... but it definitely made me think he was alive. That and they have a bandage on his chest wound... when he's supposedly dead. Also have a phantom memory of Harriet saying something about him being in critical but I think that's my memory playing tricks on me.

Having his face exposed instead of covered by the sheet and seeing him in the same frame as Winter being treated also didn't help my gut reaction of "Oh Shit! He's alive? How?!" If I'd followed up more on the "how" might not have made the blunder of writing his return as the final twist in my theory. Oops

Before reading, I want you to know that I don't use any names or Y/n's because I know many people don't really insert their names, they read it as Yin 😂 I also write in first person pov because I think it's easier to read and imagine yourself in that situation

Beads of sweat slowly rolled down my forehead as I pulled out a piece of paper from my sleeve. I knew that the exam would be hard, but I wasn't expecting it to be this detailed. Thank God my friend made me write it all on a small piece of paper. At least I will get a positive grade. Of course he made me do it, he passed the school with those. Thankfully, he didn't go to medicine school. If I ever ended up on his surgery table, I would die.

Three more minutes until the end and one more question unanswered. The teacher noticed me shifting in my seat, but she knew I always get good grades. She finally stopped looking at me and gave her attention to a group of boys trying to switch their papers. I glanced one more time at the piece of paper and put it back in my sleeve. Just as I finished the answer, the bell rang. Half of the class groaned, probably because they didn't manage to finish in time. I took my backpack and left the paper with my name on the main table.

"Good job! Honestly, your exams are always my favorite to grade. I'm really happy to have a student like you."

"Thank you, Mrs Johnson. See you on Monday."

Once I got outside I noticed the sky already getting dark. It was just 5 pm and winter was already doing it's job; the roads were wet and slippery from mixed rain and snow and it must've been under 0 Celsius. Usually I walk home because it's not far away, but my school uniform, rain and cold weather didn't go well together. I was just about to call my roommate when I felt car lights on me, followed by a familiar voice.

"I think quicker than you do." Wooyoung smiled as he opened the door. "Get in please I don't want to spend the next week taking care of an annoyingly picky roommate. I have plans to get drunk and do something stupid."

"You do stupid things anyway without drinking. So save the money and the time. And oh, save me from embarrassment." I get in the car sticking my tongue out at him. "Did you cook anything? I'm starving."

"No, of course. I slept the whole day." I look at him, hoping to see a smile on his face that would give me a sign that he's joking. "Don't look at me like that, I was tired from the night shift. I'll take you to McDonald's." he drove out of the school parking.

"I don't want trash, Wooyoung. I want food." I groaned. He told me that he would try cooking something, but it's been a week and he didn't do anything. "Please buy some pasta and tomato sauce I'll make something."

"Honestly, I really don't feel like waiting. And McDonald's is f**king awesome!" his hand reached out to turn on the radio. "How can you not love the little purple box full of 12 golden beauties?"

It did sound good, but we haven't eaten any "real" food for a month and my stomach started to ache. Living with Wooyoung has its bad and good sides, the bad sides mainly being his laziness and stubbornness. Speaking of stubbornness, of course he took the left turn towards McDonald's.

"What do you want?"

"What a polite way to ask me. You've loosened up I see." I frown at him. He rolls his eyes dramatically and turns towards me with his whole body.

"Your Highness, what do you wish to consume today?"

"That's just too much."

"What the h*ll do you want? I'm taking 3 burgers and fries and you aren't touching them." the brown haired boy points his finger towards my face. I squint my eyes at him, then bite his finger. "Crazy woman."

"Hello, may I take your order?"

"Hello, yes. I'd like a..."

***

"Is this place good enough for the Queen?" Wooyoung spoke with his mouth full of fries and ketchup. We sat on the roof of his car on a parking lot near a river. The place is good enough for the Queen.

"Eat before you speak, what's wrong with you?" I laugh at him, seeing that he spilled the ketchup on his t-shirt. "No girl will want you like this."

"To be honest I'm not interested right now." he replied immediately.

I'd lie if I said that my heart didn't sink a bit. Whoever said that boys and girls can't be friends was right. One side always catches feelings, big or small. In my case, I believe it's a small crush. He's the only boy I hang out with, so that must be why.

"Why?" I allow myself to ask.

"I had a little crush on a girl but I had to give it up." he kept stuffing his mouth with food, trying to avoid the conversation.

"And...?" I look at him expecting more. But he keeps his mouth shut and folds the paper of the burgers in his hands.

"Are you thirsty?" Wooyoung offers a can of soda, still looking at his fingers.

"Yes, thank you." he opens the can for me, first taking a sip himself, then giving the green beverage to me. I drink the whole can almost immediately.

"You could've said earlier that you were thirsty, I had water in the car." his tone visibly changed. He sounded more serious now, as if he just wanted to go home and lock himself in the room. "Want another one?" he reaches for another can.

"I think I have one more sip here." I throw my head back trying to drink every single drop of the refreshing juice. I slowly started to lean back, forgetting that I'm not in the chair but on the roof of the car. "Sh*t!" I curse as I almost fall on the rocky floor.

"Hey!" Wooyoung quickly reacts and grabs my hands, pulling me towards him. All the empty cans rolled down on the floor, making loud noises. "You good?" he asks, eyes on my face.

His hands felt so warm around mine. I really didn't want to let go. "I'm good." I pull away, trying to get down to collect the cans.

"Leave the d*mn cans there. You almost fell down. Do you see those rocks down there? What if you hit your head? What would I do?"

"I'd pay to get your car cleaned from my blood, Wooyoung." I laugh, but when I notice that his face didn't change, my smile drops. "What's wrong? Why isn't it funny when I say something like this?"

"Behind all these jokes you have to understand that you are very important to me and I have a soft spot for you. If anything happened to you my life would stop. I'm a serious man behind all my sarcastic jokes. Please watch yourself, because I can't do it all the time. It takes a second to turn a peaceful situation into a disaster."

I stare at him with my mouth a little open. I'm surprised at his words, I never heard him talk like this. I manage to say a sorry, turning my head away from him.

After a few seconds of silence, which seemed like hours, he got down and picked up all the cans, then offered me his hand. "Be careful." I put my hand in his, slowly getting down on the floor. "What dumbass even puts these rocks on the parking lot?" he picks up a few of them and pushes them away, leaving the bigger and heavier ones where they were.

"I think because they don't want someone else to have the spot." I watch as he tries to move a few more rocks. "Leave it, you're gonna hurt yourself. Let's just go back home, please?"

"Alright." he leaves the rocks and opens the door for me. Then he proceeds to enter the car himself. "But just for the record, I could've moved those rocks." his lips curved in a small smile. He can't help himself.

***

It suddenly became quiet in the house. Wooyoung layed on the sofa, watching the TV, and I sat on the floor behind the coffee table with my back leaning on the sofa.

"I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't take any photos." I pouted, scrolling down my Instagram feed. He didn't respond. I kept quiet for a few more minutes, then broke the silence again. "Do you think you could pick me up tomorrow from school again?" again, no answer.

I turn around towards him and see that his eyes are closed. He fell asleep while watching the TV. I took a blanket from my room and layed next to him under it. It's not my first time napping with him, but most of the time he refuses. He says that he is a kicker in his sleep and that he doesn't want to hurt me.

The sofa in our living room is quite small so I have to basically lay on Wooyoung. Just as I close my eyes, I feel his hand around my waist, bringing me even closer to him. Now my head was on his chest and I was surrounded by his scent and warmth. This must be what heaven feels like. Usually when we sleep like this together, it takes us a few hours to fall asleep. Mainly because he can't stop making jokes and I can't stop laughing. But this is different. It's calm. It's beautiful.

I couldn't tell if he was asleep or just pretending. He held me close and rubbed my back slowly. "Wooyoung?" I tried calling.

"Hm?" he responds sleepily.

"Are you okay?" I look up at him. His eye are still closed, but his fingers are still drawing tiny patterns on my waist and back.

"Mhm." again, I receive a short answer. When I try to move and give him some space so he can sleep peacefully, he opens his eyes to look at me. "Please don't move. I want to sleep like this." one of his hands moved my hair from both of our faces. "Please?" he asked, almost whispering.

I have never witnessed this side of Wooyoung. His voice was different, his movements were different, his eyes were different. This is the Wooyoung I wanted for myself, but couldn't have him. It took me a few longer seconds to realise that we are staring at each other, doing nothing but breathing quietly. Once his hot breath fell on my lips I couldn't help but close my eyes and sigh. Right now, I hoped for one thing to happen.

"Why can't I have you like this every day?" his soft voice whispered. I try to speak, but as soon as I move my lips, I feel something soft brushing against them. My breath stops and I force myself to open my eyes. He's looking down at my lips as if thinking if the next step is smart to do. I allow myself a moment of bravery and I put my hands on his chest, getting closer to him. "F**k it." he mutters, finally putting his hands on my cheeks and pressing his lips against mine.

His lips must've been the softest thing to exist on this planet. I tried to move, but my body was frozen. I couldn't do anything, just lay and enjoy the softness and the warmth of his lips. He pulled away for a second, trying to say something, but when he didn't succeed, he went back to the older position. Then, again, he pulls away.

"You are so sweet. You taste like I always imagined." the red cheeked boy whispers, brushing the tip of his nose against mine.

"More, please." I manage to say. My lips and throat are dry, my mind is going crazy, and my stomach is witnessing fireworks. Wooyoung smiles, still not letting go of my cheeks. "Please." I get impatient.

He leans in again, this time kissing me with more passion. It stopped being sweet and soft, now only one word existed in my mind: more. And he happily listened.

[ariparri]

I was tagged by @carewyncromwell ! Thanks so much for tagging me!! ╰(*'︶'*)╯♡

It took a while since I struggled to put my thoughts into words, but I finally got this done! So I have two endgame ships here, Diego x Veruca and Carson x Tulip... then there's my other ship with Carson x Rowan... I think I'll stick to my first ship for this. If anyone's interested in Carson x Tulip or Carson x Rowan, just let me know and I'll work on that too! Not sure who to tag on this, so if you see this feel free to join in! Anyways let's get to it!

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

The fact Veruca is a great dueler herself is just part of it. Diego finds Veruca's strong will to be very attractive. He loves her determination to find her brother Coby and put a stop to the vaults and R are one thing, but her determination to get stronger to be able to protect her friends and everyone else she cared about is what got him completely interested. That mischievous side of hers is also a nice plus if you catch my drift ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Above all of that, he’s completely smitten by her smile. He’s seen how some of her smiles aren’t genuine, knowing that she tends to put on a strong face to hide her true emotions. So whenever he manages to make her show a real smile, a true genuine smile, he’s practically blown away at such a sight.

What Veruca finds attractive in Diego would be how much of a charmer he can be. Yeah sure she didn't take him quite seriously in the beginning, but when he spent an entire week trying to prove to her how serious he was Veruca saw Diego in another light. She also loves his sincerity, and how he was very patient with her when she was trying to break out of her own insecurity. Since Veruca is prone to doubt her own self worth, Diego is always there to prove how precious she is to him. And Veruca just loves when he’s quick to sense when something’s wrong with her and immediately does something to make her feel better, it gets her all giddy inside.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

Well obviously yes. I mean, didn't go out my way to make references for their daughters, Marisol and Carina, which can be found here.

Of course Diego would want kids, he loves kids, so having a few of his own would make him a happy man. However, with how Veruca grew up, she's more worried about whether or not she'll be a good mother. But with Diego by her side, she has nothing to worry about as he will be with her every step of the way.

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

Surprise, surprise, Veruca is really big on the cuddles. And Diego was absolutely ecstatic finding out about this, because they cuddle everyday. Their cuddles varies from the spoon where either of them can be the big spoon, to being cradled, to facing each other having their limbs entangled.

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

Since Veruca isn't big on extravagant dates or the like, she prefers the simple plans where she has quality time with Diego. Say like, a picnic in the park. However this picnic takes place at night under the starry sky, because Veruca is a sap like that. But because her partner is Diego, he's going to go out of his way to make the picnic look absolutely presentable. We're talking candles in jars, string lights or lanterns hanging overhead by the trees, maybe even a hammock to lay on while they gaze up at the stars. If they're up for it, they also love to duel each other. Since they're out in the open, they limit themselves to certain spells, the ones that cause the least to no amount of damage, I.e. Rictusempra. Dates to the club for some good old dancing fun are a usual thing every now and then, but nothing beats the intimate and passionate picnic dates.

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world...))

Veruca to Diego: You are my light

Diego to Veruca: You are my dream

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

Veruca realized she was in love with Diego was when he spent an entire week trying to give her flowers. Knowing he was a flirt, Veruca never took him seriously. So when he started giving her flowers, each day being a different flower, she reacted poorly to each of them and gave them to her friends. She thought he would give up after the third attempt when she had an allergic reaction to the third flower. But when he showed up on the fourth day with a new flower, Veruca realized he wasn't playing around. She also noticed the confidence was slowly starting to leave his face every time she rejected him. So on the last day, to spare him any more pain Veruca was going to tell him to stop trying, until she saw the flower in his hand. It was a carnation, her favorite flower. Seeing the surprise look her face, Diego gives her a sheepish smile, "I should have asked Carson from the beginning, but I wanted to figure this out myself to prove to you how serious I am about this... it didn't turn out exactly as I hoped." Seeing how Diego was desperate enough to go this far to prove himself, Veruca realized just how much she was in love with him. She accepts the flower with small smile and a light blush on her face before thanking Diego and telling him how much she liked the gift.

When Diego realized he was in love with Veruca, was during one of their dueling sessions. Their match ended up in another draw and they continued to tease each other about who the better dueler of the two. With Veruca always showing her smug grin, Diego poked fun at her for not being able to show a real smile. They went back and forth on this topic for a while until Diego declared that if he won their next duel Veruca had to show him a real smile. Veruca found that to be a weird punishment but agreed nonetheless. As she was leaving, she turned back to him, “There’s no need for that, Diego. If you really want that smile so badly...” and showed him a true genuine smile. The smile was so bright, it almost made Veruca look like a completely different person. Diego’s heart practically stopped at the sight. ‘When did it get so bright? Why are there sparkles everywhere? Wtf? How can someone with such a big trouble making streak have the most purest smile in the world?!’ Satisfied with his reaction, Veruca left him staring like a starry eyed little kid.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Diego is the most gentle one of the two. And although Veruca is a little rough around the edges, but she has shown to be gentle towards Diego. It's very obvious by how they embrace and talk to each other. Hands are always intertwined or their arms are wrapped around each other. And when they speak to the other, their voice is always soft and light giving it a loving tone. And Diego is a gentleman, so whenever they go out for walks, he’ll always walk by the road so Veruca is on the safer side. He even opens doors for her, and when they cross the street Diego will take a few steps onto the road to stop someone just so Veruca can walk by and he’ll make a dramatic swooning sound as she does making her laugh.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

Veruca likes the finger hand hold, either she intertwined her fingers with Diego's or just holds one of his fingers. This a more romantically playful method for times when she's feeling flirtatious. This is the easiest hand hold for Diego to pull away from, but is still a great way to add some fun intimacy to the mix. While Diego prefers to clasp both his hands over Veruca's own, sometimes even placing a small kiss on her fingertips.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

Veruca: -veruca.exe. has stopped working- -thoughts on overdrive- -code red- -code red!-

Veruca: He... seems quite reasonable... very handsome too...

Diego: She puts on a strong face... but her eyes tell a different story.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Veruca does get jealous. Although she tries not to show it, it's still kind of obvious. Now Veruca knows Diego is faithfully loyal and would never do anything to ruin their relationship. If anyone tries to get uncomfortably close to Diego, Veruca has a stare that could most likely kill. She'll be burning holes in the person's head. However if this person doesn't take the hint, Veruca will have to get involved. No threats, although she is capable of sending someone to the hospital. She'll look them straight in the face and with a deadpanned expression, "you're doing it all wrong... getting his attention that is..." and then turn to Diego and pull him in for an intense make out session right in front of the person making them uncomfortable. After a short while, Veruca will pull away, wiping her mouth and looking directly at the person, "that's how you do it, of course you won't be able to since he's already mine."

Everyone knows Diego can get jealous... like easily jealous. Despite Veruca being able to take care of herself, I.e. punching the bastard in the face for trying anything on her... Diego still can't help but feel jealous whenever someone tries to hit on her. He'll get in between them, having a not so innocent smile before wrapping an arm around Veruca and placing a quick kiss on her lips. Once he pulls away he turns to the person while feigning surprise with an, "oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there. Did you need something?" And Veruca being the smug little shit, plays along with him. Even after the person leaves and Veruca has to constantly reassure him that no one will come between them, Diego refuses to let Veruca go.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

Most of their kisses are very playful, bunch of light pecks all over the face. The slow, sensual kisses are for the more romantic moments if you catch my drift ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I mean, there are simple moments where their kisses are slow and romantic.

Veruca was the one who initiated the first kiss, surprisingly. While they were out on their third picnic date night, laying on the blanket under the stars while Diego peppers kisses all over her face. As she looked up at him, she didn’t know what came over her. It could have been the atmosphere, or the moon shining down on them. But the way Diego looked in the moonlight, making him look all godlike, had so many thoughts running through Veruca’s mind that she brought her hands up to his face and pulled him down for a kiss.

L = Love (Who says 'I love you' first?)

It takes place the same night when Veruca and Diego had their first real kiss. After pulling away from the kiss and seeing Veruca's flustered face pulled at his heart strings. With a loving smile, resting his forehead on hers while caressing her face, Diego whispers those three magical words to her, and it was enough to put tears in Veruca’s eyes. It was one of the most romantic and memorable night the two had.

M = Memory (What's their favourite memory together?)

Diego's favorite memory would be during the summer after 5th year, where he Veruca and the rest of their friend group decided to spend their vacation together. Seeing how the sun shined behind her, giving her an ethereal glow and that gentle smile she usually shows to a few people. He was able to see Veruca act in a way not everyone at Hogwarts was able to see. He loved seeing the happy smile on her face when they were hanging out at the beach. That same night, the group decided to watch a horror movie before going to bed. Diego wasn't aware of how Veruca was absolutely terrified of anything horror related. So when Veruca clung onto Diego's arm and saw how pale her face got during a big jump scare, Diego wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. They stayed like that as they fell asleep and into the morning where they woke up to the others taking pictures of them together.

I touched up on this in Feelings, but Veruca's favorite memory would be the time Diego spent an entire week giving her flowers. To prove he was serious about his feelings, he tried gifting her a flower. The first flower was a rose, because of how cliche it was Veruca gave it to someone else. He kept trying with a different flower each day only to have Veruca show no interest in any of them. It was until the last day when he found out that Veruca's favorite flowers were carnations. She loved how determined he was to prove his feelings. Looking back on it now, Veruca found it funny how he approached her one day with a flower she was allergic to, remembering the face he made was enough to put her in a little laughing fit.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Diego would most likely get in trouble by Veruca if he even buys her anything expensive. But he just can't help it, he loves Veruca and whatever he sees that he knows Veruca would like he just has to get it for her. Veruca doesn't have it in her to stay mad at him when he's put so much thought into the gift. There is one gift, however, that Veruca wouldn't mind receiving everyday. And those are carnation flowers. Veruca's way of spoiling Diego is through the little things. Massages every now and then, Diego's favorite would be when he rests his head on her lap while they're both reading a book and she's running her fingers through his hair. Yeah sure it's not an actual massage, but the way she does it sends shivers down his spine. Always making him lunch whenever he goes out to work, and some of the treats in the dish are shaped into little hearts, something Diego originally thought was out of character for her but realized she was truly a big old softie. Kisses galore! Pecks here and there, and everywhere! They both live for that stuff, they can never have enough of it.

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

Sage green reminds Diego of Veruca, not because she was a Slytherin but because of her eyes. To Diego, it's a beautiful shade of green he's ever seen. Especially when the light reflects on it just right, making her eyes shine even brighter. No jewel or gem can even compare to those beautiful eyes of hers. Denim blue reminds Veruca of Diego, mainly because of the denim jacket he used to wear a lot back in Hogwarts. But the reason why blue reminds Veruca of Diego for how he’s helped her. The color blue calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. Blue is often also seen as a sign of stability and reliability. Diego provides these feelings for Veruca, and that’s why she’s always reminded of him whenever she sees the color blue.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

Diego mainly calls Veruca by her nickname, Ruca, when she admitted she liked it when he called her that. It's pretty much a big deal to him since he's the only one allowed to call her that. Veruca calls Diego, Heart Throb, for obvious reasons. Guy can get her heart beating so fast he starts to worry he might cause her heart to explode. Then there are names of endearment they often use, such as 'love,' 'sweetheart,' 'honey/hon,' or even the occasional 'babe' every now and then.

Q = Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?)

Veruca likes to collect antique pins and brooches. Diego loves listening to old music records.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

Rainy days are good days to just sit on the couch and laze about as the rain pours. If they're in the mood, which is usually all the time, they'll start slow dancing in the living room to the rain.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

Words aren't needed when these two are trying to make the other feel better. Just being there for the other simply puts them at ease. Diego always prepares a cup of ginger tea for Veruca and proceed to embrace her in a comforting hug while she clears her mind. With Diego, Veruca always hugs him from behind and will either rub his shoulders or run her hands up and down his arm. Nothing is said between them, showing that they have a deep connection with one another and it instantly puts them in a good mood to where they'll start playing around and try to make the other laugh.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

They both like to talk about the good days during their time at Hogwarts. They like reminiscing about all the fun times they had with their friends. Anything they see in their usual day would always remind them of how much fun they had when they were younger. They talk a lot about their future and having a family as well. Diego knows how much Veruca doesn't see herself to be suited as a mother or a wife with how her own mother always spoke of how Coby was her only hope of having grandchildren. But Diego does his very best to push those thoughts out of Veruca's mind by telling her how much of a perfect woman she already is.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

Massages usually helps them both relax. Their favorite way to unwind is lounging lazily on the couch entangled in each other, Diego running his hand up and down Veruca's arm sending chills throughout her body while Veruca runs her hand through his hair and they're just breathing each other in.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

It's clearly obvious Diego is the type to show off, whether it's his dueling or his dancing skills. Veruca loves to watch him do what he does best. Veruca, herself, is a great duelist and definitely prides herself in her dueling skills. Another thing she likes to show off is how great of a flyer she is too. And since they're so deeply in love with each other, they're clearly proud of having the other as their partner and love showing each other off. Although Veruca's way of showing Diego off isn't as out there as Diego's way.

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

Two years after graduation is when they decide to officially tie the knot. Since Diego knows Veruca isn't that big on fancy and extravagant things, he doesn't plan a big proposal. He'll take her out on a simple date, a picnic at the same spot they went on their first date. Maybe even pull her up for a little slow dance, Diego will start to talk about when they met to how he fell in love with her and everything after. Veruca most likely knew the direction this was going but lets him continue. As soon as he gets down on one knee and pulls out the ring, Veruca doesn't even give him a chance to ask the question before she throws herself onto him.

If Veruca were to propose, it would definitely be quick and straight to the point. Probably after waking up the next morning, as she heads to the kitchen and Diego greets her with a fresh plate of her favorite breakfast and a kiss to the cheek and that's when Veruca lays it out on him. "Hurry up and marry me already." She says groggily, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

X = Xylophone (What's their song?)

Stand By Me, by Seal. It's their go to song to dance to.

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

Before starting a relationship with Diego, the thought has never crossed Veruca's mind. She had come to a conclusion that she was the "undatable" type thanks to the vaults and her brother as well as how her mother was very cynical about everything regarding her. But after being with Diego for so long, the thought of getting married has never left her head it often distracted her from her work or other activities.

Marriage has definitely crossed Diego's mind before. But he knows how Veruca is when it comes to opening up with her feelings, so he doesn't rush into it. He would wait for the right moment, when Veruca is much more confident in her feelings before he starts planning.

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Veruca already has a pet. And his name is Gambat the fruit bat! Veruca and Diego would also get a Collie and name him Pesky for how super active he can be. All his running around can end up knocking something down accidentally.

[shall-we-imagine]

You've changed. (Azusa KuzexReader)

Requested: 2. "Define normal." From the prompt list.

Genre: mostly comedy and just randomness but also some fluff

(Second Person Point of View)

"Well, clearly, you've never been to the fairies' world!" You argue, taking a few glances at the signs to ensure you don't miss the library.

"Listen; there's no way a little fairy is gonna win against a mermaid! That just makes no sense! A mermaid can literally lure you into your death!" He claims, using some light hand gestures to emphasize his point.

"Yes, but-" your statement was interrupted by Serge's cheerful voice.

"Guys! Come take a look at this!" He peeks his head outside of a classroom- an empty one, you assumed. He immediately drags you both inside and towards the professors' desk, which carried nothing but an ominous orb of pink and purple. It looked like something a fortune teller would own, and since this was Serge you're talking about, it didn't seem very surprising.

You were previously planning to head to the library with your boyfriend, Azusa, to prove to him the strength of fairies, even though it wasn't exactly necessary, but you felt the need to do it anyway. However, your trip was delayed by your pink haired friend. You could use that as one more proof, though, right? Serge certainly knew enough about fairies!

"Hey, Serge, quick question: In a hypothetical battle between a fairy and a mermaid, who would win?" You pop the question before he begins explaining the psychics' item he was presenting.

Serge being Serge, it took nothing to get him to discuss such a useless topic. "The fairy, of course!" He states.

"See?" You turn to face your boyfriend with a smug expression.

Azusa rolls his eyes. "Come on; this doesn't prove anyth-"

"It's only cuz you've never met a fairy!"

"Well, you've also never met a mermaid!"

"Hey..uh..guys, maybe you can finish that argument later? I have an invention to show you." He gestures to the bright globe.

Azusa sighs; you nudge him, giving Serge an enthusiastic sure! and waiting for the explanation. In all honesty, you were kinda curious about the invention, since all Serge's inventions are amazing; you just wanted to prove Azusa wrong first.

A proud -and slightly insane if you pay too much attention- grin spreads across the inventor's face, "Well! This little sphere can basically combine multiple people's strength and thoughts then portray it onto whoever is carrying it!"

Unsure what that's supposed to mean, you and Azusa merely stare with slightly tilted heads. Serge stares back in anticipation until he realizes you both understood nothing of what he explained.

"Okay, how about we try it? That'll explain it a bit better. (Y/N), do you wanna try it?" He offers.

You hesitate, but seeing the gleam in his eyes, you couldn't object. "Uh, yeah, why not?"

He twists the ball before handing it over to you, which resulted in it splitting right through the middle to show a plain, black strip underneath. "Okay, so first of all, you have to think of a range. So, like maybe think everyone in this room, okay?" Serge explains, as he hands you the invention, that was a lot lighter than you expected.

"Then Azusa and I have to think of a creature or something, while you press the ball together, then it combines our magic and thoughts to turn you into whatever we thought of, get it?"

You nod eagerly, and push the two parts of the sphere together the way Serge instructed.

It was a mistake.

Why? Well, first of all, you didn't even warn them beforehand, so they were both caught of guard. Second of all, someone walked in right as you were trying out the invention, which resulted in their inclusion in the range you thought of- everyone in this room.

You fell to the ground with a loud thump, accidentally letting go of the ball of troubles that went rolling towards the newcomer's foot. At first, you didn't understand why this transformation included you dropping to the ground, but it didn't take you too long to figure out. "What the fuck?!"

Azusa tries not to burst into laughter (he didn't try hard enough). Meanwhile, Serge stares at you, his index finger and thumb around his chin, "Maybe we should've agreed to think about one thing.."

"You should've considered that before trying it out on me!!" You complain.

Serge jumps to the defence of his precious invention, "I mean part of the invention is that it reaches common ground! Which it did! I thought of a fairy, and I guess Azusa thought of a mermaid...but why the bunny ears?"

The intruder walks closer, globe in hand. "I suppose that could be my fault?" Klaus hands Serge the sphere but keeps his confused and slightly horrified gaze on you. "It would've fit you well if it weren't for the other..modifications. Now, you're an actual bunnyhead." He adds, as if that helps in any way.

"Well, can't we just turn her back using the invention again?" Azusa, who seemed to be in a weirdly good mood, asked.

Just when you feel like there's a solution to your strange form, Serge frowns. "You can only use it once every forty minutes.."

You groan. "How bad does it look?" You could see the blue tail you'd grown where your legs used to be, and you could feel some scales all over your body, but you weren't sure what happened to your face. You hoped for nothing too weird, as you pull out a mirror from your backpack.

"I mean..It could pass off as normal if we exclude the tail?" Serge gives a nervous smile.

Blue hair. Pointed ears like an elf's. On top of your head were also another pair of ears- a bunny's. There were only a few scales on your face, but your skin had turned to a very light sky blue colour too, so there's that.

You bring the mirror down to squint at Serge, "Define normal."

"I mean people are usually not that attentive or sharp, to be fair." Klaus shrugs.

"I have blue skin! And two pairs of ears! And scales! You'd have to be blind not to notice that!" You snap.

"Why are you snapping at me?! Don't force me to give you extra assignments!" He warns.

You pretend to clear your throat, "uh, sorry. Forget that happened."

"It's important to mention that class begins in like.." Klaus glances at his watch, "ten minutes."

"Ten minutes?! What are we gonna do?!" You begin to panic. "Also, being dry makes me uncomfortable." Man, why are you acting like a real mermaid?

"Do you want me to take you to the lake?" Azusa teases, earning a glare from you.

"You guys need to hide somewhere until I figure out a way to reverse it...or the forty minutes are over.." Serge scratches the back of his head nervously.

"How are we even going to leave the classroom without attracting attention?"

Wrapped in both your own cloak and Azusa's cloak, you felt like you were imitating voldemort's look during the beginning of the goblet of fire. It wasn't the best feeling. The fact that Azusa had to carry you wasn't helping either.

"(Y/N)? Azusa? What's wrong? Why are you carrying her?" Elias stops you both, and you use all your power to pray he doesn't notice anything weird with your figure. Elias would be understanding, but let's just say; the less people that got to see your odd transformation, the better.

"Um..she hurt her leg." Azusa blurts out.

"What?! How?" Elias's voice was filled with concern, forcing you to feel guilty for the lie.

"D-don't worry about it; it's not bad! Azusa is just exaggerating!" You laugh nervously.

"Okay.." The blond male nods slowly, as if slightly suspicious, "why are you wrapped up like that?"

"I'm..I'm cold." You wanted to slap yourself for how bad your lies were turning out.

"Are those..bunny ears?" Elias points out the long, furry ears you'd pressed down underneath the hood of the cloak, in attempts to conceal it.

"It's..it's a costume!" You glance between Azusa and Elias in panic, silently asking your boyfriend for help.

"A costume? What for?" You love Elias; you really do, but at the moment, you just wish he'd stop asking so much questions.

"You don't wanna know." Azusa smirks, earning a bashful oh from the smaller boy, before proudly leaving with you in his arms.

"Really, Azusa?! Out of anything you could've said?!" You complain, fairly embarassed by his bold statement as well.

"I panicked." Shrugs a perfectly calm Azusa.

###

"How much longer do I have to wait?!" You groan, pulling at the hood of your cloak and pressing your second pair of ears further down.

"I don't know; it seems like we'll have to wait for the forty minutes to be over." He gives you a sympathetic smile, but that doesn't stop you from releasing a louder groan and dramatically lying back on the grass in defeat.

You hear a chuckle, directing your attention back to the male sitting opposite to you with crossed legs. "You know you actually look kind of cute like that; I'm considering keeping you from transforming back." He smirks.

"You wouldn't dare!" Your bunny ears push your hood back, taking a stiff, straight position towards the back of your head. It was supposed to show aggression, but it seemed to only look adorable to your boyfriend, who just burst into laughter.

"See? You're so cute." He speaks in utter awe, petting your head to further increase your displeasure.

"Hey! Don't make me get violent with you; I'll-" He connects his pink lips with your pale blue ones, interrupting your empty threat. You could feel your bunny ears relax and stay down near your face. You were glad his eyes were shut; otherwise, he would've once more burst into laughter at your inconveniences.

"Am I interrupting something?" The familiar voice of a person that indeed enjoyed interrupting happy moments for his sadistic pleasures- okay he wasn't so bad, but this was the best part of your day; come on!

"Uh..no?" You give an awkward smile, after you pull away from Azusa in a rush.

"Technically, the forty minutes are over. You're free, bunnyhead." Klaus chuckles, tossing you the troublesome sphere. You could clearly see how much more he's enjoying using that nickname. "Serge was so caught up in figuring out something to reverse it that he didn't notice the time was up anyway."

"Oh! Thank you!" You hold the globe with such relief. "Okay, Azusa think of my usual form!"

"Got it." He gives a thumbs up, signalling you to go on. You comply and once again press the ball together after twisting it the way Serge did earlier. This time your range was just one person- Azusa. This should go perfectly fine.

Your normal skin colour and hair colour were back! Also, no fish tail or scales! You get off the ground, cheering loudly. "Finally! I'm back!"

Klaus was giving you and Azusa confused looks. Azusa was yet again trying not to laugh. You paused, deciding your celebration should probably be delayed- something was definitely up.

"Are we supposed to tell her?" Klaus turns to Azusa.

"Nope."

"Tell her what?" You begin patting your face, trying to figure out what's off. Then you reached it. Those fucking bunny ears were still there. "Azusa!"

"Oops?" He smiles innocently. "You look extra adorable, though, and that's thanks to me." He defends.

"You're pure evil!"

"You know you love me." He states, a smirk decorating his lips.

You huff, trying to distract from your burning hot cheeks. "I do."

"I love you too." You somehow didn't notice until now, but his face was now a lot closer than before. His eyes were switching glances between your eyes and lips.

"You do know I'm still here, right?"

"Yeah, why are you still here?" Azusa rolls his eyes at the blond, reluctantly pulling away from you.

"Oh, yeah, my bad; let me just walk away with this." Klaus had apparently retrieved the orb and was now walking away with the only cure to your current state.

"Hey, Klaus! Klaus, wait!" You chase after the taller male that made it a point to walk faster and ignore your shouts.

Anyway, long story short: now the entire academy thinks you can make some very good, convincing costumes. How you wish that was the case..

[moonraccoon-exe]

(1) Hi there Coonie, how is the most fabulous raccoon doing? I'm doing okay. I have a couple of hard weeks of university behind me but I am entering the calm time and I can relax a bit and I can see my family more, so excited. I remember the picture from an artist you wanted to show me. I havent been on tumblr that much because of university so I hope I didn't miss it? If you haven't reblogged it yet, no pressure. :)

*GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSPS*

PPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERIIIIIIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

*UNCONTROLLABLY FLAILS*

*CLINGS TO YOUR HEAD TIGHTLY, TIGHTLY*

PERIDOT BUDDY HEWWO I’VE MISSEDYOUSOMUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA OHMY LOOKA T YOURSELF IN MY INBOX AKSLJDKJF KLDJF YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN I SAW YOU DROP BY AGAIN I KNEW IT WAS YOU EVEN BEFORE I GOT TO THE SIGNATURE I- I - I SAW THE NOTIFICATIONS THAT STARTED WITH NUMBERS AND I WAS LIKE “KAJSDALKFJSKDLJF KLSDJF THIS IS PERIDOT AH” AND IT WAS YOU OMFGHDGFMG IT U, BUDDY, HEWWO,PERIDOT, I’VE MISSE DYOU♡ 

BUDDY HEWWO!  (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ♡

I’ve missed you, Peridot, I’m so happy to see you again in my inbox aaah!! 

The most FABULOUS RACCOON is doing FABULOUSLY!! (ノ*°▽°*) Everything’s been in order, buddy! With minor struggles of EXISTENCIAL CRISIS (」°ロ°)」 but fine! Healing fast and good and basically almost entirely back to my normal life already. I do admit, I dropped the healthy diet for garbage good (I’m a raccoonie, what were you people expecting me to eat!?), but I’m trying to retake it. I wantz to be healthyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

And trying to figure a way to make my own money! I feel bad that all my life I’ve been relying so much on my papas’ money, which I guess is normal, but I’d like to make my own. Only problem is, with my weird school schedule and my only medical order of “not lifting heavy things” and “not doing unnecessary efforts” aren’t helping me to get a job, ahahaha! But I’ll figure something, you’ll see! :3 

Yes, I did guess you were busy or simply were not much in the mood to be much around Tumblr, buddy!! I didn’t say anything because, as I’ve told you, I don’t want you to feel pressure and I can wait as long as it takes, but I did assume you were just busy or away for any reason. So happy to see you drop by again, really! :3

It’s so good that you pulled through those heavy weeks of university. And even happier that you get to be more calm and with your family more often, that’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! :D You enjoy your time, alrighty, Peridot? Gotta sleep well and do what you like and laugh with the family. You deserve your good, nice break after giving your all at school! I’m proud of you, buddy. *pets you*

AAAAH, that drawing!! No, I haven’t reblogged it yet, so no worries, you didn’t miss it! :3 Artist doesn’t often drop in my ask, but I did have the sensation that they weren’t very active a few weeks after my surgery, you know? Like, no notifications or comments or asks. I think artist is sorta shy, but there were usually comments, maybe not in everything, but here and there sometimes. So I assumed that maybe they were busy (I hope so and not that something bad happened!), and I was waiting for both you to be in a much better mood to see, and mostly for artist to come back. Curiously, as I’m replying to you a few days after you dropped this, artist literally just left an ask too! SEE, I’M A GENIUS, THEY WERE BUSY. AH AHA AH *proud laugh* wHAT SORTA GENIUS AM I PERIDOT. I CAN SEE- SEE, I’M EVERYWHERE. U PEOPLE CAN’T SEE ME BUT

I

CAN

SEE 

U

*dramatic music*

Gonna add a keep reading here, buddy, hope that’s okay with you! :D

Going to a medieval market together would be THE BEST THING EVAH 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AOSKDLJFLAKDJ KLAJSDKLSDFJSGK JUST IMAGINE THAT

IT’D BE AWESOME. You could be the PERFECT PAL so I can wear the medieval clothes that I like so much but that I can’t wear with others because they- they don’t get it, ya know, they don’t FEEL IT(」°ロ°)」 BUt YOU DO. You understand the magic of medieval fantasy worlds so hence you understand- YOU JUST GET IT. ID ON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU GET, YOU JUST GET IT AKLSDJKSLJFSDKLFJ 

All ‘em awesome adventure clothes. And the fancy ones. And the cloaks and capes and stones and aksjdfldsjfskldfjs kljdsklfjsdklf

Ya know what, what do you mean with ‘it’s never going to happen’ WE NEVER KNOW. WE BE YOUNG. We have time to get goals, ya know? And it’s in my plans to go to Europe at some point anyway! I think my past life was Italian or was obsessed over it, because my point number 1 is going to Italy. I need to go there. Number 2 is Germany, I have to visit one of my absolute best friends in there! And from there, I guess maybe France. And many other places. Europe has that medieval air that I LOVE.

And I don’t know if you’re in Europe exactly, but there’s big chances, right? I do know you’re like 7 hours ahead of me so that’s…CEST? Just like Germany where my buddy lives! But CEST is not only Europe ya know, Africa’s there too! So even if you’re not from Europe exactly, the places I wanna go (I mean, first, because I wanna go EVERYWHERE  hahaha) are still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay closer to where you are than where I am right now, so YES! Who knows, maybe by the time I get the chance to go there, I can tell you and we can somehow plan to meet some day. AIN’T NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE, PERIDOT, it just takes time :3

O-oh, by the way this is in NO WAY a way to pressure you to tell me where you’re from, that’s your info and it’s fine to keep it!!

Anywa, back to topic!

You guys get medieval markets ALL YEAR LONG? UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH THAT IT SO COOL, AKSJDKDLFJ, I COULD SPEND ALL MY LIFE IN A MEDIEVAL MARKET/STORE/SETTING AND BE HAPPY. I mean, just if- if they have modern toilets, though, hahaha. But you get my point!! The fantasy medieval, that’s my absolute jam and I’m so jealous that you guys get a medieval market all year long! :3

I guess there’s all year long stuff here too, but it’s minor stuff. What we do get is a yearly…event? Where they locate it in a coldish forest (only like 40 minutes from my house!!) and there’s market, yes, but also sword fights and people on horses, you know, those fights wher you ride your horse and use a spear/lance to knock the other off the horse? And lots of dances and music and fire shows (to resemble “dragons”) and juglars and everything, it looks like it gets BIG and good, but I’ve never been to one :( It’s so difficult to find a medieval buddy to go with me, and I have no troubles in going alone but I CAN’T DRIVE ahahahah, and the place is accessible only via car so I require a driving buddy. And I’m too shy to ask my parents ;w;

 A WINTER MEDIEVAL MARKET

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGH

WHAT SORT OF HEAVEN ARE YOU IN OH MY GAWD

Winter is my fave. Only natural for a creature of the moon, I guess! But yep, everything that revolves around winter, snow, the night, the moonie and stuff is MY JAM. So you’re basically saying you get a medieval market, my jam 1, and during winter, my jam 2, IN ONE SAME SOLE THING. PLUS it’s around a LAKE???? 

MEDIEVAL MARKET. AT NIGHT. IN WINTER. AT A LAKE.

ALKSJDLKJDF KLAJSDKLASJDLKSDFHSDKJLASJD 

THAT’S IT. THIS IS A MUST. I HAVE TO GO TEHRE ONE DAY AND AIN’T NOTHING AND NO ONE GONNA SOTP ME AND IT’LL BE THE BEST ADY OF MY STUPID LIFE

this is so ex cit irng adhjdngf f

Honestly buddy, the way you describe that place sounds like my dream spot ;A; Where I could spend all day and all night and not get tired. The medieval market around the lake during winter, and the lights on it when it gets dark, and the little camp fires and the bands playing….it sounds like a dream. I don’t know what it is with all that and to many it may be a bit silly, but I know not to you, when I say that that’s the place where I’d really like to be. I don’t know why! It’s just so like me and what I like. I really want to be there. :’)

Speaking of medieval settings with camp fires and medieval music, you wanna hear my favorite song that sounds exactly like that?

Here you go! :D

See, there’s something about it; the medieval setting, the people around the camp fire, dancing and laughing and eating and being friends, and the music playing just for fun! IT’S BEAUTIFUL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

OH, so you love stones!! that is FABULOUS! (ノ*°▽°*)

I love stones too, but I’m not very acquainted with them nor do I have my collection. But I love them and the magic behind them; ever since I was a child, there were these false fantasy colorful rocks, and I remember to jealously try to keep them when we moved out of my childhood house because I didn’t want them to go missing and I wanted to keep them forever.

Even today there’s something about rocks and stones, whether colorful or not, that I adore. There’s magic in them, somehow. I love to hold them, to look at them. There’s a reason stones are so popular in the medieval fantasy settings that we love, right, Peridot? There’s something magical and abstract about them, it’s amazing!! 

It’s so cute to know you have your stone collection. That is SO AWESOME, buddy!! I imagine it must be absolutely BEAUTIFUL and enchanting. I cna’t imagine all the different types of stones you must have. It doesn’t need to be a giant or big collection to be beautiful and I’m sure yours is, no matter how many stones you have. :3

Gods bless for the markets for making your collection grow!! What a better place to find magical stones than in a medieval market, am I right? Akajsdlksjdfkljs dklajf ksljdf all the pretty things you must have seen and gotten!  Aaaaaaaaaaah :D

OH! I didn’t know Peridots are to keep nightmares away and keep happy thoughts. See, your names suits you PHENOMENALLY! (ノ*°▽°*) At least you always bring happy thoughts and vibes to me. Not sure about nightmares because they’re not frequent to me, but I bet that you’re probably part of that, too, huh. c:

OOH! MOONSTONES DO WHAT!

THAT IS SO AWESOME AHAH AH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! MOONSTONES TO KEEP NEGATIVE FEELINGS AWAY,AYO, THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! o(>ω

See, that’s why the raccoonie vibes ALWAYS work! Raccoonies come from the moon, which is the source of the magic of the moonstones, so OF COURSE IT’S LITERALLY MAGIC. See, there’s a reason they don’t fail! ヽ(・ω・)ﾉ

Aaah, dear Peridot, I’m happy that you think so positively of a message and a moonstone! They must definitely work incredibly well as a team. I hope betweem the MAGICAL RACCOON VIBES and the moonstone we can get a Peridot effect and give you good dreams! (o´▽`o)

[luvdsc]

hello miss cat! omg yes i'm SO glad they're over they took up so much of my time and were so prolonged for no reason? i never understand how colleges keep 2-3 exams a day, give a long break, then keep 2 exams a day AND STILL have the entire thing go on for two weeks esp when it's online :/ the burn out 😔 aah i had a few research papers for my ergonomics class and econometrics which is always so hard to trudge through esp right after giving papers. but they're my chosen subjects after all

so i can't complain omg what have you been baking? does it turn out well? facetiming friends is always fun 💗 and 10 minute paintings sounds like such a stress buster! how is work? i've been working towards preparing for my drama exam coming up and i'm also teaching speech and drama to kids those younger than me :D and have also been researching for debates that i moderate with my friends from school. and YES i watched their dance practice it was sooo fun to watch i thought the winderella

i thought the entire escape room idea was so cool and the entire episode was just super fun to watch plus taeyong eating chocolate when everyone was solving the mystery!! 10/10!! i even liked the last episode I WAS ROLLING WHEN KAI JUST KEPT PULLING NOTES FROM THE BOX 😂😂 which was your favorite episode miss cat? hsbdkas i haven't watched the enquete episode entirely yet but i should now that sicheng said that LOL and YEAH OMG i thought it was kind of a red flag when he didn't tell her anything

hey that's so exciting! what do you want your space to look like?? being an artist as a profession is actually really cool! but it wasn't the most..what can i say now, stable? when it came to the economic standpoint so my mother didn't go with it :") ooo ok so from what i know when she's working on her cityscapes she's always like "the bigger the better" and she always works with knives on those so there's a lot of place to experiment with that! but otherwise when she has little time on hand she

prefers smaller canvases! omg yes a lot of her art was hung up at home (tbh it was more like storage before it went to exhibitions 😅) but she took them down because when my brother and i were younger we used to run around the house with darts and toy guns with ink rubber bullets which always ended up hitting the paintings rip and now she has her own studio so most of them are kept there! but yes she painted a family portrait so we have that up :") and a few more scenic paintings too!

dskcsjd i don't really think i enjoy interior designing that much mainly because i'm too lazy to start and move things around but yes conceptually it sounds like so much fun and i have sooo much respect for everyone interested in it. omigosh miss cat i could talk a lot about this but mainly since i teach speech and drama along with studying i love to experiment with different ways the characters can be portrayed when the younger students are performing! i love planning out play moves and

various voice modulation techniques! after all, there's no such thing as a bad molly weasley dramatization now is there? i looove performing arts and the feeling  of being on stage is unparalleled for me with acting and dance :") i also used to write and edit but that was in school i don't think i've got it anymore rip. how about you? would you consider yourself creative? you've got a way with words so that's surely down for you 💗 it's so cool that you enjoy museums! do you have any favorites?

oooo yayoi kusama!! wasn't she the artist behind the fireflies room? (or was it something like that i'm sorry i don't remember what it was called jdbnsd) and monet is such a classic! oh wow, do you often incorporate impressionism into your artwork? (if that kind can be applied rip i'm sorry i'm not that knowledgeable about this stuff aah) 3d design!! ooo what materials do you use there? hndjxjdk oil paints take such a long time to dry don't they? awww doinf 10 min paintings sounds so cute!

what are they like, if you don't mind me asking? my weekend was good! i went to the park and fractured myself rip but otherwise i enjoyed by eating and sleeping well! did you have a good weekend? i hope you're having a super week and continue to do so! oh oh also, thank you for taking the time out to respond to me this is really sweet of you <333

also im sorry to randomly pop this in but i saw you got the album signed by our lord and savior our knight in shining armor our light at the end of a dark tunnel the woman herself QUEEN JISOO??!?!11/!?1 AAAAAAAH IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU MISS CAT YOU ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SNAG ONE WOW SJSNDJKNSKJ (maybe now you'll have luck with pulling her i hopeee ahaha)

✿ ✿ ✿

hello, sweetpea!!! 💕 oh my god, i feel- i had like 3 exams in one day many times before and i just wished they spread the exams out over two weeks instead of cramming all of them into one ): it’s such a terrible class structure /: also hate when teachers still teach new material when it’s supposed to be dead week ugh asdfkaljshdfkl i heard economy and i’m that spongebob aight i’m out meme 😬  econ was my least favorite business subject rip. do you like what you’re learning in ergonomics and econometrics? is it interesting for you? 💓

i’ve been baking bread!! my mom and i like making little french baguettes or the japanese milk bread :’) and they come out really nicely!!! we have fresh bread for the week, and i love making breakfast styled sandwiches with it 💖 work is going well! i managed to finish work early on friday and got off at 7 pm :D so that made me very happy, and i’ve been relaxing over the weekend 💕 omg a drama exam! what do you have to do for it? will you be reciting a monologue or performing or is there an actual written exam too? :o and you’re teaching little kids and moderating debates too omg you’re so busy!! is it difficult managing all of that? 😦  and winderella is soo pretty like wow visuals 🤩💝

omg YES i love love love the escape room episode too!!!! it’s also my favorite! and LOL yeah, i noticed that too and laughed when i saw taeyong more interested in the chocolate than the game aksjhflaksjd also lucas is so smart?? he figured out the clues so quickly in the most simplest ways, and i wished they had acknowledged that ): watching mtopia made me more interested in ten too, like wow, he’s really quick witted too 💕 sicheng is whipped for lucas and lucas only. lucas won the life lottery, he received sicheng’s affection and their feelings are mutual 🤧💗

i would want it to look like how i decorated my dorm!! i pinned up all the art postcards i collected from different art museums around the world in a sort of mosaic collage on my walls and hung up my paintings too :’) and i had my paintbrushes and paints stored in these jars on my desk along with a bunch of my books stacked here and there. it was like a bright organized chaos in my dorm room in a sense? i had large sketchpads and blank canvas shoved behind my desks and bed and paintings drying in various areas, but i knew exactly where everything was placed ✨and i totally get it!! it’s why i didn’t choose to major in art too because i wanted financial stability

ooooh my gosh, your mom does palette knife paintings??? those are so gorgeous!!!! 🤩🤩 i looove seeing those being painted and i wish i was skilled enough to do those :o AND SHE HAS EXHIBITIONS?? SHE’S LITERALLY LIVING THE DREAM 💘💘  aksdjfahjlks i hope none of her paintings got hit 😅aaaah it’s great that she still has some of them up though :’) my mom hung up all my paintings too and it made me so happy when i saw 🤧

akjlshfdlja omg i feel that, like it’s fun to just think about it but actually moving furrniture around is hard work rip. once i move in somewhere, the furniture is gonna stay like that until i move again LOL oooo so do you teach different ways to portray a single character? do you create your own characters or do you use a preexisting one? have you ever created your own original play before? :o omg i have so much respect for actors and performing arts honestly, like memorizing all those lines and then having to add emotion to it plus remembering where you’re supposed to stand and go amongst a million other things?? i would completely fail. the only times i participated in performing arts are for piano recitals :’) 

ooo yes, i would consider myself creative!! i love making things, like whether that be through building robots, drawing, painting, soft sculpting, 3d designing, graphic designing, baking, cooking, writing, etc. it’s just so much fun to be able to create. there’s something magical about being able to bring something from your imagination to life ✨ also, thank you so much 🥺💗  i looove moma!!! both the sf one and the nyc one! i also really love the louvre and museo thyssen-bornemisza 💜 i also really really want to visit the monet museum in france one day because i wasn’t able when i traveled there in the past, and i imagine that one will become my favorite if i do get the chance to 🌷

omg yes, you’re correct, she is indeed the one who made that!!!!! she made all those pretty mirror rooms with lights ✨ i absolutely adore her work 💟   and yes, i do!!! I try to incorporate monet’s style into my own paintings by doing a lot of short strokes and studying how sunlight hits nature. and rather than trying to be perfectly accurate, i go with my intuition. it’s kinda like how cher describes it in clueless, like from far away, it looks ok but up close it’s a mess LOL and omg it’s ok, you don’t need to apologize!!! thank you for taking an interest in my art :’) for 3d design, i used foam, cardboard, newspaper, wax, and metal wires!! and yeah, oil painting takes days, even weeks, to fully dry rip but it’s so much easier to blend and paint with because of the slow dry!

i do small paintings of flowers in ten minutes! i included some of them in my letters here 💛 oh my god, you fractured yourself??? how did that happen 😭 did you go see a doctor and get a cast? does it hurt now? pls be careful ):  i did have a good weekend, thank you! 💞 i slept in and ate lots of good food :’) and thank you so so much, my week went well too 💟💟 and omg of course, you don’t have to thank me, lovebug, i enjoy talking to you!! 💓 💓

AND YES I DID!!!! I’M SO HAPPY 😭💜💜💜 I HAVE IT DISPLAYED IN MY ROOM AND IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL 🤩  THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥺💟  omg i actually just bought all her pcs 🤧💗 jisoo is an expensive woman, but i have most of her pcs now :’) and yes, hopefully when the next album comes out in two years hopefully, i’ll be lucky enough to pull her pc 💞💞

how have you been, sweetpea? how’s your weekend going? 💚
