If the world was ending

Felix x reader. Estranged childhood best friends to lovers. Angst and happy ending. highly recommend listening to If the world was ending while reading :)

Felix has always been there with you, from the moment you've met him when you were 8 years old, until he suddenly no longer was, and you were left to grapple with the consequences of his absence- and those of his return.

cw: description of a car accident, reader has a fear of loud noises.

skz song series masterlist

12 march 2011 

Screeching brakes, a jarring collision, glass shattering all around you, shards of it embedding into your tender skin. You are too young to understand it all, but you know it's bad. You are suddenly upside down, the only thing helping you stay put is the seatbelt fastened around you. You didn't really like seatbelts but your mom always insisted on you wearing one.

Your mom, you can't see her face, she's upside down too, and she isn't talking. That's unusual because you're crying and she isn't turning around to comfort you. Someone is screaming outside of your car, and then you are pulled out. You don't know who's touching you, and you want them to stop. Where is your mom? Why did they not pull her out too?

An ambulance approaches you; its loud sirens feel like pine needles drilling into your skull. You try to cover your ears but your hands are covered in blood. The world around you is painted red- the flashing lights of the sirens and the liquid oozing from your cuts. It’s no longer your favorite color.

27 may 2011 

You are playing in the playground near your home, waving at your mom from the top of the slide. She's gotten better, she smiles more easily at you now. And you are trying to be a good kid too; you help wash the dishes and you clean your room all by yourself. You don't want your mom to feel sad again and go back to that dreaded hospital. 

You slide out, happy giggles leaving your mouth, before climbing up the tiny stairs once again. But as you reach the top, an ambulance rushes by the playground. You don't know what's happening, but you suddenly feel shards of glass on your skin once again. Your hands are shaking as you sit on the floor, curling around yourself in a ball.  

"What's wrong?" someone asks and you lift your head tentatively. It's a young boy, he's looking at you worriedly, a tiny pout on his lips. 

"I don't like ambulances," you hiccup, burying your head in your knees again. 

Suddenly, small hands cover your ears, muffling the shrill sound of sirens. They are warm and sticky from the red popsicle he’s still holding.

"Now you can't hear them," he giggles, his eyes disappearing into moon crescents. Despite your raging fear, a smile finds its way into your lips.

"What's those on your face," you ask with a small voice, pointing at the faint marks dusting his cheeks. 

"They're called freckles," he says proudly and you nod. 

"They're pretty."

"Thank you!" he grins at you, his hands still covering your ears. The tightness in your chest seems to dissipate slowly before his kind smile- the shadows never stood a chance in front of the sun. 

"What's your name?" 

"Felix. And you?"

"Yn." 

"We should be friends," he beams and you grin back, agreeing wholeheartedly. "We should." 

15 november 2021 

You are sitting on the grass of that very same playground, Felix still by your side. The night breeze is cooling as it brushes against your bodies, and you're wearing his red sweater. It smells like his cologne and your perfume- an intoxicating scent you've come to memorize by heart. 

His nose tip is rosy from the cold, and you can't resist tapping it playfully. "Your nose is pink," you giggle, and he smiles, gently bopping yours in return. 

"So is yours."

You look at him as he gazes up at the stars above. You love Felix, it has always been crystal clear to you. From the moment he planted the seed of his friendship into your soul, and throughout the years when it bloomed into something more, bigger than the two of you. It wrapped around your being entirely, binding itself into your every atom, until all you saw is his reflection in you. 

And you were tired of treading the line between friendship and something more. You wanted, no craved being with him, your yearning so intense it spilled from you each time he was around. In rosy cheeks and shaky fingers and eyes that soften only when they rest on him- evidence of your love imprinted all upon you. 

You take in a deep breath, before laying your hand gently on his cheek, turning his face to meet yours. His eyes widen slightly at the soft touch, and you lean in closer to him. You brush your nose against his, slowly, "to warm it up," you whisper, as his breath hitches in his throat. 

He's close, he's so close, you can almost taste the brownies you shared earlier on his lips. You can see his freckles ever so clearly, constellations you often find yourself getting lost in. Your hand is still on his cheek, and you can feel it burning up under your palm. 

You close your eyes, as his lips are now just a breath away from yours. It's electrifying- having him so near to the way you've always dreamed, fantasized about. But he needs to be the one to take the jump, all he has to do is lean in a bit, and you'd kiss him. You won't ever let go. 

"Lixie...," you choke out, "kiss me." 

"I want to." His voice is hoarse with emotion, as if fighting with himself for self-restraint. 

"So do it," you ask, swiping your thumb gently across his cheek. Your breaths mingle with one another in a dizzying dance. 

"I'm leaving," he says so faintly, you believe for a second that you've imagined it. 

"What?" you ask, leaning a bit away to be able to look at him. 

"I'm leaving," he repeats, his eyes tightly shut. "We're moving to another country, for my dad's job." 

"You're leaving me?" you ask, bewildered. 

"I'm not leaving you-"

"But you are. You won't be here anymore." You drop your hand, taking hurried steps away from him. Touching him didn't feel electrifying anymore, it felt horrible and nauseous, because you won't get to do it again. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to-" 

"How long have you known?" 

"Yn..."

"Felix," you say, tone stern. "How long?" 

"Six months," he whispers and a bitter chuckle escapes your lips.

"When are you leaving?"

"In a week." 

The pain becomes unbearable, and you turn your back to him so he wouldn't see your rapidly falling tears. You are angry, as a disguise for the sadness threatening to drown you. Him leaving tasted like the salty water you gulp when you dive in too quickly into the ocean. And you did dive in, in him, in his soul and everything that made up Felix. And now he was leaving you, with no anchor to help you float again.

"Is that why you insisted on spending so much time with me lately? Because you were leaving?" 

"You need to understand I didn't know how to tell you, I- I don't even know who I am without you." He pleads, his own eyes shimmering with unshed tears, reminding you of tiny diamonds. That's how it is with Felix, you found beauty in everything he did- even tearing your heart in half. 

"Maybe you should've thought of how I would feel. You were thinking of leaving me while I..." Your voice breaks and you take a shaky breath.  "While I was falling in love with you." 

"I'm in love with you too," he quickly says, reaching out to hold your hand. "I love you, I always have." He's wrapping his arms around you, and you're letting him because it feels safe and secure. Because he’s still your Felix, even if he's leaving you behind. 

You wonder what you must have done in a past life, what a horrible person you could've been for the universe to treat you this cruelly. To hand you everything you've ever wanted in a silver platter, and snatch it from your hands before you could dare to grab it. 

"We'll make it work," he mumbles into your hair, placing a tender kiss on your temple. "We'll talk and we can be together."

"No, we can't. I'll just hold you back from living your new life, I can't have that." 

"Don't talk like that, please," his voice wavers, words barely managing to slip out of his mouth. Regret overtakes your body so suddenly at the thought of his lips- you shouldn't have tried to kiss him. Maybe then he wouldn't have told you he was leaving. 

"It's the truth. we'll grow to hate each other, distance will put a strain on us. I'd rather not talk to you than have you resent me." 

"But-"

"Just hold me," you cut him off. "As if nothing's happening, please." 

And he complies because Felix always does. Because he loves you and as much as he doesn't want to, he knows you're right. 

•••••

It's been three months since Felix left- the days passed by agonizingly slowly, and yet the months went by in a blur, a hauntingly vivid reminder of what once was. At first, the texts between you two were frequent, but as time wore on, the messages grew sporadic, from your end, mostly. Seeing him flourish in his new life felt like salt on an open wound, a reminder that he was moving on while you were still anchored in memories of him. 

You saw him in every corner of your city. The smell of brownies that he's made countless times, each time you felt sad. The way he kissed your cheek each time he won a game, while you were lying on his bed, bored. The way he hugged you whenever you were sick, gently tucking strands of your hair behind your ear. The way he covered your ears instinctively at each loud noise, knowing how scared it made you still. 

And you've felt each of these emotions since he was gone. You were sad and bored and sick and happy and scared. And he wasn't here with you through them. Each moment away from Felix seemed to magnify what could have been- what should have been between the two of you.

There is a building construction next to you, loud cement blocks crashing to the ground. And you are curled around yourself in a protective ball, covering your ears with your hands, because Felix isn't here to do it anymore for you. 

You and Felix have grown with one another, your soul carefully woven into his, like two threads intricately stitched into the same tapestry. Him leaving felt like half of your body was cut off from you, and you were left alone to figure out how to function with an incomplete heart. 

17 july 2023 

Summer break meant coming back home and sleeping in your childhood bedroom once again. Memories of Felix still lingered in there- posters he has given you and his red sweater that you've never found the courage to throw away. It doesn't hurt as much to remember him, the sharp pain morphed into a dull ache you've grown accustomed to by now. 

You're watching the TV mindlessly when someone knocks on your door, and you go to open it without a second thought, expecting it to be your parents. It wasn't.

"Felix?" you stammer, stumbling back in shock. You blink repeatedly, in a desperate attempt to make sure he's not a figment of your twisted imagination. You haven't uttered his name in so long, and the syllables felt both foreign and familiar in your mouth. 

"It's me," he smiles sheepishly, his hand scratching the back of his neck. 

"You are here," you whisper, stating the obvious. He didn't change much, his kind brown eyes and freckles still as captivating as before. But his features were sharper, prettier, and the sight of him is making you dizzy once again. 

"I am." 

"What are you doing here?" You ask cautiously, opening the door a bit wider to let him in. 

"I requested a transfer to your university. I wanted to come back. I missed home, and I missed you," he adds softly, making a turmoil of emotions surge within you. 

You clear your throat. "So, you are back for good?" 

"I am," he says, smiling slightly at you as if to gauge your reaction. You stay silent and his grin falters; his tongue resting against the inside of his cheek, a habit he hasn't let go of apparently. He then walks to the kitchen and you follow suit. You don't have to show him around, he knows your home like the back of his hand. He spent most of his childhood here after all, even though his house was only a few blocks away. 

"How have you been?" he asks as he opens the cupboard to take out a glass. He closes its door softly, careful not to make it thud. 

"I'm good. It's summer break so I'm finally back home, what about you?"

"I'm good too. It's nice to be back." 

Your conversation is strained and awkward, so unnatural of you both. There was so much to say, so much to ask about, but you couldn't bring yourself to speak. He felt like uncharted territory to you now, one you didn't have the strength to discover once again.

"It's your mom's birthday tomorrow, right?" he smiles and you nod. 

"Should we make her our cookies? Like we used to before I..." 

"Before you left," you finish, bitterness dripping from your tone.

Hurt flashes in his eyes and you feel your heart suddenly clench in your chest. It was unfair for you to treat him this way. He was only seventeen and if your parents were to move away you would've followed them too. 

"Okay, let's do it." You smile sincerely for the first time since he came back to you. 

You both move seamlessly in the kitchen, each knowing your tasks like a choreographed dance. This was a tradition that started when you were twelve years old. You'd brown the butter while he beat the egg and sugar together. He'd sift the flour while you cut up chocolate. He'd mix it all while you preheat the oven. And then you'd roll the dough together. 

Your hands brush against one another as you shape up the cookies, and it feels so intense you almost drop to the floor. You miss him, you miss him so much and he's near you and you can't seem to think straight anymore. 

When the cookies are finally in the oven, he silently washes the dishes while you dry them. He abruptly pauses, hands still covered in soap before turning back to you. 

"Can we talk? Please?" he says too quickly as if he's been overthinking asking this question. 

"I'm busy today," you scramble to think of an excuse, you weren't ready to face him yet. 

"Tomorrow?"

"I'm staying with my mom, then there is Han’s party."

"I'll be there too. We can talk then, please?" he asks, eagerness evident in his voice. 

"Fine. Let's talk there," you concede and he nods, awkwardly shifting in his place. He finishes the dishes before drying his hands. You avoid his gaze and he sighs softly. "I'll get going. Tell your mom happy birthday from me." 

"Will do." You smile tightly and he does the same, before finally leaving your home, and in his trail, a maelstrom of emotions you weren't certain how to deal with.

18 july 2023 

You're at the reunion party Han is hosting with all your high school friends. You watch as Felix takes turns talking to everybody. He fits right in here, a puzzle perfectly clicking in place as if he's never left. He's telling a joke to Chan who laughs loudly, hitting Minho's arm repeatedly. Everyone is happy he's back, because they never had to gravel with the consequences of his absence. Because he's never ripped their heart out. 

Felix is looking for you around the room- he hasn't seen you in a while. He assumes you're somewhere around the house, and that you'd like to talk when time has passed. The knot in his stomach tightens as the weight of your conversation dawns on him, he longs to be with you, to undo the past two years he has spent away from you. But he's afraid to mess everything up, once again, so he stays near his friends who are now pulling him outside of the house.

"We have a surprise for you," Han says excitedly before pointing at the sky, "look." 

Fireworks, a dazzling show of blue, red and yellow. And Felix feels as if the colors were drained out of his face and splattered into the night sky before him.

"Where is yn?" he turns to Chan, eyes wide.

"Inside, I think. Why?"

"Stop- stop this, don't start any more fireworks," he urges the boy who's looking at him worriedly. 

"Why, what's wrong? We have a warrant to start them, don't worry."

"No, no you don't understand. Yn hates loud noises," he explains frantically, before bolting inside the house. 

He's yelling your name, and you are nowhere to be found, the sound of the fireworks so loud he isn't even sure you can hear him. 

He opens door after door, and after painstakingly long seconds he finally finds you in the bathroom, sitting on the floor, your head buried in your knees. Just like you were twelve years ago. 

Felix doesn't waste any time, kneeling in front of you to cover your ears with his hands, you look up at him, waterline brimming with unshed tears. 

"It's okay, I'm here. Just focus on my voice," he smiles reassuringly at you, and you clasp your hands on top of his, doing your best to muffle the sound of the explosions. 

"Your hands are still small," you attempt to joke, as hot tears trail down your cheeks. You hated how scared you still were. 

"The perfect size to cover your ears," he smiles at you, his eyes softening when they take in your distressed state. 

You hiccup, overcome by a new wave of emotion- for an entirely different reason this time. "You came." 

"I'll always come. Even if the world was ending, I'll... I'll come to you," he smiles, biting his lower lip to stop his own tears from falling. 

"It'd be useless if you came then. There would be nothing for us to do," you manage to say through shaky breaths. 

"But I'd be with you," he insists, gaze unwavering, "It will be scary for you. I imagine it will be loud, the world can't end silently." 

"Mine did, when you left." Felix's eyes go wide at your words, and you don't care that you are baring your soul entirely to him. "Please don't leave me again. I hate goodbyes with you." 

"Why would we ever say goodbye again, hm?" he reassures, his knuckles brushing against your cheek softly. "I'm never leaving you, as long as you'll have me, I'm here," he whispers, before pulling you into his chest.

Your hands find his back, and his cheek rests on top of your head. And you both close your eyes, an exhale of relief leaving you both at the same time. The world grows dark around the two of you, the only thing you saw was his heart and the overflowing love he still bore for you.

You felt as if you were wandering blind and you could finally see again, as if the string tying you to him wrapped tightly around the both of you, trapping you in his warm embrace.

You don't know what will happen next, but he's holding you now, and he'll hold you when the world is ending, and that is enough.

Ateez Reaction - Running You Over With Their Car

Genre: Crack, Reaction, Gender Neutral Reader

Word Count: Almost 1k

Warning: depiction of car accidents and illegal behavior portrayed in a comedic manner (both Ateez and the reader), reader is injured

Song Rec : Rover by Kai

You decide to take a stroll during the night, exploring the beautiful city of Seoul. Finding the nightlife too hectic, you opt for one of the quieter areas. All is well, until you decide to cross a street on a small road. Before you know it, you're greeted by two bright lights and almost instantly, darkness along with the smell of rubber. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to wear dark clothes tonight.

Hongjoong

Hongjoong stops his car immediately, brakes slamming comically loud and the tires screeching

He rushes out of his car, cursing both out of frustration and fear

He sprints to your crumpled body and starts shaking you frantically

You jolt up and curse him out for literally running you over

He just looks at you with that panicked squirrel expression

"Please don't sue me"

"I'm going to sue you"

The court cooks Hongjoong after a look from his dashcam

To make up for his losses after his legal defeat, Hongjoong releases a new song

Music critics praise it for its percussion

Until you decide to listen closely (he was your op but he sure knew how to make bops)

Turns out he literally sampled the exact moment where his car and your body collided

Seonghwa

The prettiest man you've ever seen rushes out of his car

Even the darkness of night can't his perfect features

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry"

Seonghwa rambles on, his boba eyes showing genuine concern

You're a sucker for people that actually take accountability and Seonghwa being a super gorgeous person is a bonus

He reaches his hand out and you reach for it

You only grab onto a fistful of sleeve

You look up

Seonghwa is wearing the most convoluted shirt ever and he managed to look so elegant

His shirt has ridiculously big sleeves and lots of ruffles

The sleeves fully envelop his hands

There's no way he could've had control of the wheel wearing those

"Why tf were you wearing those gargantuan sleeves?"

After a lot of angry questioning, Seonghwa confesses

He did see you before running you over (accidentally)

But his hands physically could not grip the wheel due to his shirt

Which he fully knew before taking the wheel

But there was no way he'd wear something ugly

Yunho

He does the right thing (mostly)

Yunho rushes over to you and makes sure you're all good and dandy

You aren't, but that's a problem for another day

Yunho fervently starts apologizing

Turns out he decided to leave the house after a Mario Kart marathon which spanned for several days

Yunho explains that this gaming marathon caused him to hallucinate being in Mario Kart while he was driving

Yes, he thought you were an item box

Of course you get mad

Not only did he game to the point of delirium, but he thought you looked like those holographic minecraft looking cubes

In an attempt to get you to calm down, Yunho explains that it could have been worse

He could've been playing Valorant

Wait, how could that be possible?

Don't tell me that he has access to military grade artillery...

Yeosang

You lie on the asphalt as the car drives away

Did you legit get hit and run?

Accepting your circumstance and also being too lazy to get up, you resign yourself to your fate

The stars look beautiful tonight

You hear engines revving

The car had turned itself around, revealing the driver, one of the most handsome man you've laid your eyes on

Too bad he doesn't have his eyes on you

"Oops wrong turn"

Yeosang is looking at his GPS while on a facetime call with Wooyoung, who is giving him directions as well

His car is headed straight towards you

For the second time that night, you got run over

"Yeosang what was that?"

"I think that was a speed bump"

San

San stumbles out of the car

He sees you lying helplessly on the floor

There's tire streaks all over you

You're not moving

In fact, it was hard to tell if you were breathing

You were fully conscious and not that hurt

However you were trying to make the lawsuit money as high as possible

As a big advocate of health and fitness, San rushed into action

His members clowned him for getting CPR certified

But oh if they could see him now

Using all of his strength, San went for chest compressions

He even sang Wave to keep his compressions perfectly timed

So the thing about CPR is that the movies don't show how hard you have to actually do them

"EUGHGHHHGGHGHG"

"Yay, you're alive!"

You learned the hard way that CPR can break ribs

Mingi

It takes him a while to register what happened

Not because he's in shock, but because his stereo is on max volume

When his car made contact with your body, he thought it was just the bass going ham

Until he sees a lump in his rear view mirror

Mingi pulls over right next to you

His tires are like 2 cm from your face and you were praying the whole time as he reversed way above the speed limit

You're trying to have a conversation with him

However he's literally rapping along to the song playing

He's really good, but time and place

"Bro I literally got run over tf are you doing?"

He holds a hand up, and you can see his designer rings

"The beat is about to drop give me a sec"

Mingi bursts out dancing

Wooyoung

The driver takes his sweet time to park his car

Wooyoung leaves the car, wearing a nice pair of shades

Why was this man wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night?

Soon enough, he's standing over your fallen body

You feel a kick

You tilt your eyes to see the most cartoon looking shoes you've ever seen

Those clompers could level out an entire termite mound

"Stop kicking me with these goofy-ah stompers"

"Then maybe you shouldn't have gotten run over"

"Excuse me???"

"Skill issue"

You shoot up, pure rage and pettiness fueling your newfound energy

It doesn't take long for you to run to his car

Seoul Hospital admits two patients that night

Jongho

Jongho immediately clocks that he ran over someone

Even if his karaoke playlist on spotify was all the way up, and he was belting for his life

He actually helps you up

You think it'll go all well and dandy, after all this lad is so polite

Until he reaches out into his pocket and pulls out cash

It's a good sized wad

"How about we both decide this never happened?"

Is this man seriously trying to bribe you?

The money's tempting, but his Mercedes Benz indicates that there's more to be won through a juicy lawsuit

You refuse the money

Jongho lets out a hearty sigh, but he doesn't seem distressed at all

"This is going to ruin the tour"

"What tour?"

"The world tour"

[jisungshotfirst]

top 10 title tracks of 2023

in which i am a nerd and rant about music<3

10. BYOB - Billlie

this is just the cutest little city pop song! it's simple and catchy and it was a real change to hear such soft voices from billlie! softer title tracks always stand out to me because they are often so so pretty and delicate and byob is so so pretty and delicate! and the lyrics... i have claimed this as an aromantic anthem, it's ours. not relating to your friends having crushes .... billlie i see u

9. Break the Brake - Xdinary Heroes

this song is just straight vibes... the loudest rock we've gotten from xdinary and I appreciate it SO much. the verses r so clean and the falsetto.. its harmonically so interesting so the noise of the chorus feels properly cathartic and doesn't feel like a loss which can sometimes happen in scream-esc choruses. It's arranged SO well to balance all these things and be stimulating while also being so emotive. AND JUNHAN WITH THOSE CRUNCHY NOTES IN HIS SOLO. the dissonance.. its so brain-sratchy

8. In Bloom - Zerobaseone

zebi brainrot is so real friends.. be careful. this song is so beautiful! i think its a perfect example of the song marrying the concept and mv and members tones so well. from literally the first minute of zb1 i was so excited about their concept of mixing natural imagery like flowers with glitchy technology imagery and i hoped the music would match... AND IT DID! its so lyrical while being crunchy and energetic. SUCH a slayful debut

7. #menow - Fromis_9

this song is sooooo pretty. epitome of a soft bop. it's a classic fromis sound but with this sense of maturity and humility that makes it so engaging and emotional. it demands to be taken seriously but still is so fun! the vocal production is next level.. the effect on their voices in the chorus so they're used like instruments... one of favourite techniques ever. i LOVE when the vocals truly feel like part of the arrangement and not just sitting on top and this song truly does that

6. Spicy - Aespa

the absolute cunt aespa serve in this song... who let them. anyone who knows me knows i'm obsessed with everything moonshine has ever made.. and so when i heard they were doing an aespa title... i went crazy. and i am so right for it. THE BASS IS INSANE?? it puts all other synth basses to shame with how in your face it is. and the crispy snare? idk how to describe this song other than cunty because she genuinely does not care about being clean or palatable... like she is In Your Face with sound. and aespa literally ate that up... they are so fun and cheeky and confident! i'm sorry this is the kind of song that only a group of baddies could handle and aespa stepped up

5. Sugar Rush Ride - TXT

txt doing disco... like you already have me at that. it's sooooo groovy and although the anti-chorus was surprising.. i'm not mad at it! I'm so happy they went into it full force with the whisper vocals and the choreo switching mood, it rly helped the genre change make sense. and the DISCOOO at the end.. bop central. the lyrics and choreo and vibes overall r just so beautiful.. what can i say i love songs about gay sex i mean forbidden love...

4. Groovy - Cravity

the funky bop of all funky bops... literally funk pop goodness! there is so much movement in this track theres so many different rhythms happening and the blend together sooo well. the dance break is perfect.. literally everything you want from a dance break with the continuation of the same sounds but a new tone to it and new rhythmic focuses. and the choreo for it literally hits ever beat you want it to and stretches out the time between them perfectlyyyy. but ultimately it is on here because it is a feel-good happy fun bop.. and she excels at it! vity makes me so happy and they are so good at making songs that make you happy

3. Galileo - Kep1er

cutest song of the year! it is so groovy and fun and danceable. it is sooo feel-good it literally makes me smile every time. thank you hiyyih for putting aegyo in a song<3 where is her nobel peace prize. this is the kind of song where you truly can't hear the music theory going on because it just does exactly what you want it to do! any tension chords are resolved perfectly where you want them to. it's the perfect example of chords from minor keys borrowed to make a song that sounds so major and happy. there is absolutely nothing i would change about this song it is sooo perfect. absolutely filled to the brim with joy

2. ROAR - The Boyz

...like literally hello? this song came out of nowhere for me i did NOT expect to be as impressed as i was like my life changed after this song. firstly the whistle.. hot and sexy and catchy. carrying it through as a motif, chopping it up, creating variations, translating it to a singable vocal line... all of that is SO impressive to be able to pull off. crunchy track underneath.. beautiful. but what is most impressive to me about this song is the topline. the vocals are literally insane.. chanhee and hyunjae have my favourite tbz voices and u are crazy if u don't agree that they r the main characters of this song. some of those chorus lines are So high and they can sing them in a way that sounds so effortless. and the backing vocals... the Incredibly high harmony in the choruses makes me want to scream (it's jacob i think.. jail). and there is just voices Everywhere.. everywhere theres little 'ahs' hidden around and it not only fits the songs sexy concept in such a natural way but it just fills up every bit of space in the song. and the lyrics... once again i love a song about ..*checks notes* forbidden love.. that is damned by heaven... definitely not about gay sex tho .. definitely not..

1. Chill Kill - Red Velvet

second moonshine on the list .. no one is suprised. i think this song has complimented red velvet's two sides of creepy and feel-good the most successfully. the tone shift from the verses to the chorus is so obvious... but seamless. and what does it is the harmony! the chords are perfect... it seems redundant to talk about rv vocals but they rly just make the song. and the outro... blending both vocal parts of the chorus together.. it sounds epic. it adds to both the happy and creepy by sounding like a group of friends together.. but also cult-y with all that creepiness still lingering. singing 'forget about your sorrow' with the happiest voices like the verses weren't filled with creepy minor sounds... literally gaslighting queens. this song is terrifying and also the most joyful (hi sooyoung 😘) experience to listen to.... only the dream team of moonshine cazziopeia and red velvet can manage that. and it's no surprise this dream team gets my no.1 spot!

thank you for reading if you got this far ! pls share your favs with me and if we share any i'd love to hear what you think! happy new year everyone I truly hope it treats you well<3 and here's to more bops in the new year!!!

[professionalchaoticdumbass]

OH YEAH I FORGOT TO TELL YOU FUCKERS I DID MY FIRST JOOL 5 IN KSP TODAY :3

they were all flybys, but i was quite low in the tech tree (i'm in science mode) since i'd only gone to minmus and the mun beforehand. i'd say i did pretty well!

heres some screenshots

first view of jool and a tylo gravity brake to get captured around jool

very close vall flyby

some close passes of jool while waiting for a laythe encounter

passing over laythe at night

the last of many tylo gravity assists i did on the mission, to get me up to pol and bop's orbits

pol flyby

bop flyby; this was actually the second one i did since i forgot to grab a screenshot on the first one. wasted about 150 delta v getting this, but i had plenty to spare

reentry at sunrise after killing almost all my velocity with my remaining 3700 delta v. i got 5200 science out of it :3

i had a lot of fun doing this, especially with it being a low-tech run (although some nasty orbital glitches didn't help). although my routes were really inefficient at times, ther were other times where i had to set my thrusters to the lowest thrust setting to fine-tune some encounters. AND i unlocked most of the tech tree by the end! also, laythe please stop trying to fling me into jool, i want to live next time

[modaozushi-headcanons]

Mo Dao Zu Shi Driving Headcanons

Wei Wuxian:

drives kinda wild

would drive any kind of car but loves convertibles and Jeeps

Wei wuxian blasts music and sings at the top of his lungs

He's reckless but somehow manages to avoid everyone on the road, so it's fine?

He's most reckless when he's driving alone.

Lan Wangji:

very professional, textbook driver.

Keeps his hands in the 10 to 2 position, as you're taught and doesn't move them an inch.

Lan Wangji sits in silence or has soft classical music playing... sometimes music with flutes... (subtle, isn't he?)

To him, driving is a huge responsibility.

He drives the exact speed limit, how is that even possible??

Jiang Cheng:

has road rage

would probably roll down the window just to flip someone off.

Otherwise, he's pretty by the book and pleasant to drive with

Jiang doesn't listen to music, maybe the radio for the news. Or if he's with company, maybe he'll let them pick the music. But the first time he hears something he doesn't want to, it's back to silence.

Jin Ling:

Prefers to walk with Fairy when he can, but as for long distances... this baby is just learning how to drive.

Scared af, hits his brakes every second.

Uncle Cheng is scary when teaching him, but even scarier when someone cuts Jin Ling off

Jin Ling would soon take after his uncle a bit and yell at them when someone cuts him off, but is quieter. Also does a tiny flip off through the rearview mirror, not bold enough to roll down his window and actually confront the person. Only bold enough to grumble to himself about it and complain to his friends (let him have friends)

Jin Ling listens to music he thinks makes him look cool but actually makes him look baby.

Wen Ning:

probably scared too, like Jin Ling

drives slower than the speed limit.

Unlike Jin Ling, Wen Ning will always be gentle and polite, letting everyone pass him even if he'll be late to his destination.

He plays very soft music and bops gently.

Jiang Yanli:

perfect, beautiful, if anyone honks at her then expect wei wuxian and jiang chang to chase them off the road, (and they were only honking because she was hot)

she probably taught wei wuxian and jiang cheng how to drive

Lan Xichen:

goes with the flow of traffic but is almost always within the legal limit, (so 5 below, 5 above speed limit).

Is very courteous and tends to make the right action in every situation.

probably taught Lan Wangji. Their Uncle gave them both lessons, but Wangji learned a little more with Xichen who was a little more patient.

Nie Huaisang:

just not good.

Nie is the car everyone passes and cusses out to themselves.

Sometimes they cuss him out to his face. Jiang is probably guilty of it.

Nie probably cuts people off on accident, just trying his best

Should probably stay the passenger prince

Wen Qing:

amazing driver, but can get a little pissed when someone is blatantly in the wrong

Taught Wen Ning how to drive

Has a little bit of road rage, but only bites her cheek. What would be the point of yelling at them? Now, if she's the passenger and Wen Ning is driving, you can bet she'll roll the window down and stick her whole head out to give them a piece of her mind

[masonxmahir]

⁠— if i die young

Mason Mahir's final moments ( triggers: drinking, death, car crash... probably more? )

A scream rang out into the night.

Mason's giddy laughter turning loud and rowdy as the simple birthday dinner turned into a party he won't likely forget. Head thumped to the beat of the music and vision blurred from time to time but he blamed that on the alcohol. There also was a sharp pain in their side that pulled at his focus every now and then but he chalked that to them bumping into something and being unaware. It really wouldn't be the first time.

He met Jamie on arrival, standing on a chair just to hug their giant friend, of course that act didn't go by with the classic comment of 'how's the weather' chuckling even if it was just to themself and promised for some shenanigans later. He found the birthday twins soon afterwards as well, present in hand that he honestly forgot he bought, but it was wrapped up neat and Mason didn't want to rip into it to figure out the contents. Birthdays and pool parties were a great mix, and Mason, in true fashion didn't bring a change of clothes but such a thing never stopped fun, could hardly pump the breaks on the canon balls he made either.

Bopping along to the tunes and chatting away nonsense with people, Mason was having a grand time. Even if periods of time slipped from memory, he was here making new memories to fill in the gaps the best he could. And with so many things happening tonight he was sure such a thing was achievable. Where fun could be had, Mason was there. But tiredness crept in fast and as he starfished onto a towel, gaze to skies watching it grow dark, energy drooped with fluttering lids but a goofy grin still held onto their features and for a while he felt bliss till their body jerked them awake before sleep could fully pull them under. A yawn tearing through, he spotted Rangi and rested their still damp head onto her shoulder, "Take me home? I'm tired."

The night air held a comforting chill as he left, a gentle soothing breeze as he hopped onto their skateboard. Despite asking Rangi, sluggishness spread quick and rather crash at Jamie's, Mason wanted their own bed to sleep this away.

He wasn't to know that would never happen, couldn't know the peace signs he threw up to the partying crowd would be their last.

Send me away with the words of a love song

Screams filled the night. But not of laughter nor from fun.

A death was heralded by the banshees.

Mason just didn't expect to be their own. He had been told that life came at you fast, did those people know know a car would come at you faster?

The pain in his side spread to everywhere now, muscles aching and skin scraping as he hit the road hard. A harsh screeching of tires and squeal of brakes rang loud in their ears as he blinked sharply up to the sky. A million things floated in their head, from questions to jokes, yet he could not speak on any of them, each time lips parted the only noise to spill were groans of pain. He heard people and shuffling footsteps approach, screams and gasps too off in the distance, and he wanted to see what the fuss was. Did someone out do their canon ball? Would he have to challenge them to a dive off? But each time he tried to sit up or even move, a wince had them fall back. "R-Rangi?" he managed to call out, and maybe she heard him, maybe she was the one to run their way but hands found her and he gripped onto her. "Did I fall? I wasn't trying no skate tricks I swear." He wasn't! Mason just wanted to go home.

Ralph came into vision not too long after, a smile kicking back up into place, "Ayyy..." But he turned their head away at something being offered, "I don't want the sauce man..." It smelt funny too, made his nose crinkle but in the action and having people surround them, a new head adding to the crowd as time ticked by, context came into clarity. A dragged out "Ohhhhh," when he heard 911 being spoken. "Oh...."

Time did not slow, nor did it speed up, life did not flash in front of their eyes, it was right before them. "We'll be gucci gang, don't sweat it. This is just a lil ad break." He did not want to think about dying, always said he was too pretty to die so young, the thought of it didn't grip them with fear, he was in good hands, why worry? The happy-go-lucky, carefree attitude of theirs didn't have space for worrying about what would happen, no, despite it all, Mason only felt the present time. Also felt the pain spread but catching Rangi's tearful eyes he didn't mention it, just gripped her hand a little tighter as he reassured her. "Can you call my mum and ask her to pick me up?"

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours

As the sonic screams rang out, a scream of such servitude was caught in Neelam Mahir's throat. She sat bolt upright in bed, hand clutching her chest, wide-eyed panic filling her lungs and this strange feeling of wrongness. This pain, this fear felt a lot like a wave of grief about to hit, she didn't have to strain her ears to catch the wails of an imminent death in the air, she felt that in every fibre of her being. A connection to her own fading with each passing minute, yet she could not move, could not weep even, living on that false hope that maybe maybe her child just fell down, just injured themself a little more than normal...

But the call came, and the love she had left to give, the loss that made a hole in her chest spilled out from her eyes, her grief kicked up a heartbeat as Mason's stilled.

The wails of banshees dissipated and a mothers filled its place. Which was worse: the shock of what happened or the ache of things never to come?

Well, I've had just enough time

Hand dropped from Song's and he was shuffled into the ambulance, vision going fuzzy as all he saw were the auras of people, faces blurred but a kaleidoscope of colours danced in front drawing a pleasant a smile to the face. That's how he saw them all; bright shiny people. It was also the last sight the party-goers saw of them as doors shut. He didn't understand the sad faces, didn't know why Rangi was crying, he was just going away for a bit. Likely would heal himself after the docs had a go at them too, be right as rain in not time. But here was Rangi telling him not to go?

"I'm not going anywhere," he reassured her. Perhaps he began to feel the inevitable too, perhaps this was the end, but death was an adventure too. The life he had lived was on with laughter and love, and he wanted that to be reflected in this moment too if that were to be their last. "I'm just tired, babe, that's all." But the impact made speaking a little rough, words coarse and shallow, whatever was happening on inside their body Mason tried to make sense of with their Healing, but be it lack of energy, lack of focus, he couldn't figure it out and hands fell away limply. He nuzzled into her hand, struggling to keep eyes away as the vehicle zipped its way to the hospital, "Just... a lil tired."

Breathing came slowly, thoughts and speech slowing with it, "A lil nap...okay? Wake me up...later...g'night... love you."

12:23 am. Call it.

Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em

THE END.

[hairbrainedprojects]

Every time I hear about a new development in cars I get more disappointed. Capacitive touch without a screen? Absolutely disgusting. Things I want in a car:

Steering wheel: Big, taken from a bus

Shift knob: Train throttle

Parking brake (redundant braking systems don't require an emergency brake):

Clock:

AC fan control:

AC temperature adjustment: (3 position marine toggle switch that returns to center)

By no means a complete list, add your own. Perhaps instead of a breathalyzer, you have to score 20 on bop it. All I'm saying is that a car is a tool and tools should feel so natural to use that they become a part of the worker, moving together and enhancing one a other's skills. A smith is just as incapable of shaping metal as a hammer is of swinging itself. The two must agree to move as one for a mutual goal

What is your favourite song of the week?

[you-have-been-frizzled]

I share your hate of Forkle, but was wondering your specific reasons or an analysiss?

What ending do you think Shannon will do for him??

Sorry this is very Forkle-based...

*bops you with wrapping paper tube* no apologizing! especially if it gives me a chance to rant about fork man

i have a few lists that i will compile here, i also think that in a darker version of kotlc he could easily have been a grommer that i go into more detail here

he broke into her room while she was sleeping who knows how many times when she was a little girl

he asked Sophie to meet him (a grown man) on a island alone and when she took Keefe with her he told her she had to come in the cave with him alone

he just about left Dex for dead in the Neverseen hideout and only brought him because Sophie refused to go without him. Dex was a innocent child and wasn’t just anyones child he was a member of the collective’s child, someone who he worked with side by side for years, and he was still willing to leave him behind

Dex ended up with scars because he didn’t bring enough elixirs for him.

he thinks of Sophie as an accomplishment and doesn’t expect her to want him to think of her as anything more (Everblaze, Page 447.)

he will act very cryptic and only give out bits of information, just enough that she will look into what he was talking about then act proud and flatter her, saying things like “i underestimated you kids”when she and her friends figure out the thing he wanted her to know.

he will tell her about problems in the world making it sound horrible and hopeless, then saying this is the thing we made you to fix, but that’s your choice

he’s constantly dehumanizing her because she is the Moonlark and it’s her job to change things and this is what she was created for. going from treater like his child to a weapon at the drop of a hat

he doesn’t see her as a person he sees her as the moonlark his creation. he doesn’t see her as a child he sees her as his tool and he does care about her but in the wrong way

excludes her parents from the conversations and tells her she has control over her life, not them, like she isn’t a young teen

he told a fourteen year old that if he and the rest of collective died Sophie and her friends would take their place, not caring about what kind of pressure that would put on her. then admits to grooming Sophie and her friends to lead the Black Swan one day

he is constantly reading her mind and never lets her have her thoughts to herself, giving her no sense of privacy to the point that’s she’s close to desensitized to it at this point.but he expects her to not read other peoples minds

he put all this importance on Prentice and told a child that they where going to use her to brake into prison and almost got a child killed (they could have done that without her they have dwarves)

finds it funny to exclude Sandor from conversations that could potentially put her in danger

he calls her his moonlark. which sounds sweet until you realize that’s her project code name he’s literally calling her “my creation” aka “my weapon”

now that that’s over with on to what i think Shannon will do with him.

his brothers wanderling was mentioned to be bending over as if it was waiting for someone, i do think he’s going to get killed off.

probably in the final battle Sophie hopefully doesn’t trust him as much by then (but that’s a bit unlikely) and he sacrifices himself for her. as he’s dying he makes her promise to not let her mind break and to keep being his moonlark. her anger at his death makes her win the battle then she breaks down. his plating would probably a line something like “and he where finally where he belonged, where he wanted to be, back together with his brother” (it had be better than that im writing this at one am)

what I want to happen is

for him to slowly lose his mind over his brothers death. now he’s depressed, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense. frokle and his brother where close as any two people could possibly be without being in the same body. it make’s very little sense for him to be as sane as he is when he literally lost a part of him.

i want him to make little commets here and there that make you go “uhh that didn’t sound like a sane person” but then brush it off. as time goes on his behavior becomes erratic and unpredictable and even Sophie starts to feel uncomfortable around him at times, but she brushes it off because he just misses his brother. then i want him to have a mental breakdown in front of Oralie Sophie and Keefe. where he reveals that Oralie is her bio mom, and ends up hurting Sophie by grabbing her. when they get out of the situation Sophie is shaken and when they go back to look for him he’s gone.

[invisibleraven]

Christmas prompt V bc I can't help myself. Rulie?

Reggie wasn't sure how he made it through the concert-he had been so mesmerized with Julie the entire time. Her voice had everyone on their feet, bopping along, bright smiles everywhere as her voice soared, scaling the notes like nobody's business.

It was all he could do to keep the rhythm going, his bass line steady and playful, her blush almost mimicking the colour of the instrument. But how could he not blush when his dream girl was there, belting out this gorgeous song, looking like a snowflake dipped in glitter in her sparkly white sweater dress? Especially when she turned and sang at him, the gap in her front teeth showing when she smiled, the lights making her eyes sparkle, right alongside her outfit.

Julie hit that last note, throwing her head back, and Reggie's heart raced as she winked at him before facing the cheering audience. Reggie barely registered bowing or the rest of the guys almost shoving him off the stage. He only had eyes for Julie.

But then, he lost her in the crowd. Frantically searching for her, knowing his chances to tell her how he felt were dwindling fast. She and her family were due at the airport in an hour, and she wouldn't be back for ages, so this was it. Yet no matter where he looked, he couldn't find her, and his heart sank with every passing moment.

Finally he emerged from the school where the concert had been, and saw Julie getting into her car, a sad look on her face. "Julie!" he called, racing after her. But there was a giant crowd of audience members streaming out, and his voice got lost amongst their congratulations and holiday wishes. He nodded in thanks and politely shoved through, but he ended up only reaching the trail of her brake lights as the Molina family car pulled away.

Determined not to be defeated, he raced to his truck, where he had a clear path and let the pedal touch the floor in an effort not to lose Julie. The roads were packed, especially towards the airport, and his fingers tapped an anxious beat on the steering wheel as he finally pulled in, spying Julie and her family heading towards the terminal.

He wasn't sure if her even turned his truck off, let alone took the keys as he leapt from the cab, rushing towards that revolving door. He had to get to her before they got to security, if not, then all hope was lost.

He was panting for breath, eyes seeking her out as he entered the space, past copious trees and displays of merriment, seeing familiar brown curls headed towards the place he couldn't venture.

In a last ditch effort, Reggie called out to her again, and she finally heard him, turning and looking at him, surprised and radiant. "Reggie," she breathed out, letting him catch his breath as he stalled in front of her. "What are you doing here?"

"Couldn't let you leave... without saying goodbye, and Merry Christmas," he panted lamely. The running, the embarrassment, the come down from the show all were catching up to him now, and he felt all kinds of uncomfortable, but he didn't run away, not yet. "Sorry I didn't get you anything."

Julie flushed, biting her lip, and took a step closer to him, laying a gentle hand on his thundering heart. Glanced up at him from under her lashes, giving him the shyest smile. "Reggie... all I want for Christmas-is you."

With that, she popped up on her toes, pressing a tiny kiss to the corner of his mouth. Reggie was too shocked to move for a second, then came to his sense, gently turned her head, and gave her a proper kiss. Julie tasted of peppermint from the candy cane she had been sucking on before her song, the sweet taste of plums from her lipgloss, and a flavour was all her own. Reggie bit back a groan at the taste of it, not knowing how he'd ever lived without knowing it until now.

A subtle cough broke them apart, the pair blushing bright red as they turned to see Julie's family. Carlos was looking mildly disgusted, while Ray and Rose just looked fondly amused. Julie tucked a curl behind her ear and glanced away while Reggie offered a weak wave.

"Sorry mija," Rose said, "But we need to go through, it's a long flight and they'll be boarding soon."

Julie turned to Reggie, a million emotions washing over her face. "I-I'll text you when we land?" she offered. "And when I get back... maybe we could go on a date?"

"See you in January then?"

Julie nodded, pressing one last kiss to his cheek before dashing off, waving at him until the security door closed behind her. Reggie standing there, looking moonstruck and gently touching the lip print on his cheek for longer than was probably necessary. Finally shaking himself as he headed back to his truck, then back home, waiting up for Julie's text.

Julie: Landed safely, miss you already.

Reggie: Me too. But thanks for the present, it'll keep me going until you get back.

Julie: But I didn't get you anything?

Reggie: All I wanted for Christmas was you too, so I think we did alright with the gift giving this year.

Julie: Gonna be impossible to top this next year.

Reggie: I can't wait to spend a lifetime trying.

Setting the Hook

With your trap at a greater distance, alter your hook-placing approach:

Hold the rod throughout your frame even as retrieving the entice. Balance the rod on your proper hand to combat fatigue. When you feel a strike, issue the rod towards the entice, absorb slack, and execute a powerful hook set.
