#But she’s just annoying and overhyped to me

I just…my brain hurts… I made a comment on a post about how Lily isn’t shown actively defending Severus until it’s too late, i.e. SWM. And someone came back with “just because it’s not said in the book, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen”.
????????
What are we supposed to go off then, if not the books? A great many things could fly under that explanation. Fact is, everything I see tells me that Lily was not a good friend to Severus. A true best friend would be after bullies with a baseball bat. Not trying to justify the bullies behaviour and coming out with the attitude of “you should be grateful one of the bullies draws the line at murder”.
#Having a vent#I just dislike Lily the more I see of her#She’s viewed as this paragon of virtue#But she’s just annoying and overhyped to me#anti lily evans#pro severus snape

At this point I’m wondering if I’m the problem because how is it that consistently my best friend has managed to always date guys I can’t stand
#the latest one is the best one but that’s just because his previous competition consisted of groomers#like by that metric he’s perfect. but like I really don’t like his personality#he’s just another arrogant self centred cishet white guy and I guess I’m just the mean lesbian bestie that thinks she can do better!#idk I think also she waaay overhyped him to me. i really do want to like him but I just find his annoying to be around#him*

soft kisses and warm latte
synopsis! she kissed you on a first date.. how cute
NON IDOL! karina x CRUSH! reader GENRE! fluff, non!idol au, idiots in love, crack TW! kisses, not proof read, super short, poor language ( probably ) NOW IS PLAYING! . . about love by red velvet
you two went to a popular coffee shop to get some of their famous latte and strawberry cheesecake. you were actually so exited because after almost three months of talking and getting to know each other as friends you and jimin finally moved to a situationship phase and now, after few more months, you were on a date with her. you asked her first when you saw an opportunity to do so, because you thought jimin was giving you hints and oh! you were right. jimin wanted to go on a date with you as much as you did and she suggested to go to this popular cute coffee shop. it was actually so pretty inside and you have seen a lot of photos from this place in your instagram.
“are you nervous?” jimin chuckles as she looked at your face. to be honest, yes, you were hella nervous. jimin looked so pretty.. well she always does, but today. you can clearly tell she was dressed for a date, her cute outfit and this brown warm scarf.. she looked adorable.
“what? no.. no im not” you shook your head and obviously jimin didn’t believe your words and just smiled of how cute you looked being shy and awkward like that. you took a sip of your coffee and smiled slightly because it was good. this place definitely weren’t overhyped. “it’s so good, how did they manage to make my simple latte so delicious?”
“i guess they did it because you’re so cute” jimin said and you almost choked on air when you hear that. oh she was such a tease today, why would she say that? your cheeks went red almost immediately.
“can you stop?” you whined almost annoyed because of her behavior. you were getting flustered by every second and that was embarrassing.
“whyyyyy” jimin laughed and kissed your cheek quickly. it was such a small kiss, you barely felt her lips on your skin but it felt so soft and sweet.. you couldn’t help but want more.
“you.. just kissed me?” you looked at jimin with your wide opened eyes and red cheeks. you couldn’t hold back you smile.
“oh, it was just a cheek kiss! nothing special” jimin continued teasing you and rolled her eyes playfully.
“then kiss me on the lips”
you were getting bold after she kissed your cheek, it almost felt like she gave you her confidence. now it was jimin’s turn to be shocked and shy. she smiled awkwardly and moved her hand to your cheek where she kissed you a moment ago and gently stroked it.
“anything you want” she said before her lips touched yours. oh you would be a fucking liar if you say that it doesn’t felt like heaven. because it did.

Beacon Academy-Goodwitches combat class.
Glynda: Would Jaune Arc and Weiss Schnee make their way down to the arena.
Yang: Don't go too hard on him, Weiss.
Weiss: Nope. Full throttle. Arc has been very annoying as of late, what with his constant flirting and repeatedly asking me out.
Weiss: This match will do the one thing that should have been done from the beginning, and that is ending the idea of their ever being a thing between me and Jaune!
Ruby: Hey, come on, now be nice to Jaune...
Weiss: Until he learns some things like barriers, and when no means, forget it, this will be the end of one of Beacons' most over hyped, over valued, and over privileged hunstman.
Blake: Sheesh... just don't overdo it, Weiss.
Weiss 'hmphs' at Blake as she entered the ring with Jaune and annoyed look on her face as Jaune just awkwardly waved, as the rest of Jaune's team could be heard cheering him on.
it was an embarrassing slaughter for Jaune so much so that tensions against the rest of Team JNPR and Weiss were dicey, luckily Jaune calmed his team down much to the relief of Weiss...but funny enough she think Jaune got the message cause she hadn't gotten asked out by him or given an attempted flirt ever since than.
-
EverAfter.
CatJaune caught Weiss blade with very little effort, the action causing the tired Heiress to weakly attempt to free her sword.
CatJaune: You know, before I strike you down, I'm going to say a few words...on behalf of my poor Jaune, and tell me if you get Deja-vu.
CatJaune: This match between us will do the one thing that should have been done from the very beginning, and that is ending the idea their ever being a thing between Jaune and Weiss!
Weiss gasped as her heard her own voice play in the back of her mind, the harsh words that her Beacon self said almost two years ago.
CatJaune: This will be the end of Beacons' most overhyped, overvalued, and over privileged huntresses in all of Beacon Academy.
And before Weiss could say anymore, she saw the gleam of Crocea Mors enter her view, while only a single thought crossed her mind.
'I'm sorry, Jaune'

okay...
I loved this season. I decided to watch it with part 1 fully and I got the direction and flow they were going for.
I agree with most when I say that I would have liked more polin, and I think especially the Mondrich plot was very dull and uninteresting and I don't like how much time was wasted on it.
I did think it was a bit crowded.
But I still loved how each plotline was handled (except for Cressida, because I still wanted to at least know what happened to her other than assuming she's leaving.)
I loved the flow of the season and part 2 was a great helping of angst that I enjoyed to see from polin, despite all of the people saying otherwise.
I do mourn the polin sex montage and I do think the cuts to Benedict were a bit tone-deaf. I personally didn't need as many sex scenes as you other people, though. I think the amount of tension and angst was just right for the story and the amount of sex scenes reflected that.
But I would have enjoyed at least a longer make-up sex scene.
The structure of the story felt right and the only thing that made me a bit iffy was Colin reading the letters because I would have appreciated something like a series of flashbacks to the previous seasons and finally the memory of their meet-cute with some child actors.
But Colin's jealousy arc?
Completely makes sense.
We love canon bisexual Benedict and Francesca.
We love Michaela Stirling.
We love Portia's (kind of?) redemption arc.
We love the Lady Danbury, Marcus, and Violet thing going on, even though it felt a bit excessive.
We love Penelope and Colin dancing to You Belong With Me and their Pride and Prejudice moment.
We adore the mirror scene.
We love Kanthony being cute and their fun moments.
We love the polin wedding.
We love Colin crying (even though that sounds weird.)
We love the epilogue and polin winning the baby race.
We love Colin writing a book and Penelope going by Penelope Bridgerton.
We love Penelope revealing herself as LW and owning it.
We love Queen Charlotte.
We love the nod to Penelope and Lady Danbury's book relationship.
We love Colin's last episode confession and they made me cry multiple times.
We love Hyacinth for being a sunshine child in her support for polin.
And despite Eloise kind of annoying me constantly, we love how Penelope and Eloise made up.
AND I'M SAD JULIE ANDREWS IS MOST LIKELY NOT COMING BACK 😭😭😭😭
People are shitting on this season WAAYYYY too much from what I've seen, and I think it's in part because people, again, overhype things. I was expecting a good season and some great moments, but I think the general vibe was that people were somehow going to see perfection and that's just the wrong mindset to have.
Was is mind-blowing? No.
Was I wanting more polin? Yes.
Was I hating it? No.
Was it a hell of a ride? Yes.
9.3/10
Would and will watch again multiple times.
Like, calm down guys.

Some thoughts and ruminations on episode 5 of 911
Just finished watching the episode and I have notes upon notes upon notes to talk about.
Overall, this episode was soooo incredibly overhyped by everyone. The way Oliver, Tim, the journalists talked about it? I expected greatness. But it was just all right. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. It felt very much like a filler episode. There were a few hints at how the storylines will progress, but nothing major.
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this episode from beginning to end. Yep, I’m tackling this one chronologically.
I'm cutting it here to not attack anyone's dashboard.
The Henren drama seemed to come out of nowhere for this episode. I get why they did it. It was basically to foreshadow the Denny drama. But Karen has always supported Hen when it comes to her very demanding job. It was just weird to me to see them having this discussion.
I was sooo annoyed during that classroom scene with Athena. Why are those kids on their phones during class? And why didn’t the teacher react? She just sat there and accepted? Come on! Where’s your professionalism and authority? You are the teacher! Act like one and take those phones away.
Sorry about this rant, but I work in education and in our school phones simply aren’t allowed. They are locked away at the beginning of the day and in the afternoon the students get their phones back when they go home. Simple as that. If I see someone with their phone during the day? I take it off them and they can come get it at the end of the day.
The haunted house set up and scenes were great. I loved Eddie opening up to Hen and Chim about Chris. They’re both parents, they get it. They understand how hard it is when kids grow up and stop believing in things like Santa or start thinking how Halloween is cringe.
Still, I find it interesting that Eddie mentions his mother in this. He mentioned that his mom told him he doesn’t want to go trick or treating anymore. Once again Helena Diaz pops up in the narrative as the bearer of bad news. They are clearly setting something up there. The whole conversation about:
“You never know when a door is gonna close and when it does then…”
Clear foreshadowing! I just need Eddie to fly to Texas and get Chris back at this point. Bring him home!
The haunted house scenes themselves are so good! I love Bobby as a vampire! His voice was so good. And I love how Hen and Chim genuinely scared those kids and lame ass Eddie in his lame ass werewolf costume doesn’t even phase them. Again, kids saw him as ‘cringe’. The same word Chris used when talking about Halloween. Interesting.
The whole Billy Boils mummy scene was hilarious. Buck pulling off that arm and screaming out loud: “He’s real!” was perfection. This is one Halloween these kids will never forget.
Loooove how Buck handed Eddie the lube to get that pumpkin off the guy’s head. I know it didn’t mean anything special, but it was just so funny.
I don’t understand why they didn’t just use that little cutting device on the pumpkin from the beginning? Why bother with the lube and the pulling when you can just cut if off?
And then of course Buck slips. Of course…
The hospital scene is like a gift that keeps on giving.
Eddie is sat in that chair and he clearly isn’t going anywhere. The fact that he stuck around in the hospital for Buck is remarkable. Buck isn’t injured all that badly. Eddie probably has to go back to his job, right? But instead he sticks around.
Then Tommy comes in with a visitor badge and instead of Eddie leaving the room because Buck won’t be alone anymore, he just keeps on sitting in that chair paging through that magazine. When you think about it… that is an insane thing for the show to do. Why didn’t Eddie leave Buck in the capable hands of his boyfriend so he could go back to work?
As for Tommy. Not going to lie. I didn’t mind him all that much in this scene. He obviously still doesn’t know Buck very well. He seemed lost when Buck started talking about curses and things.
Also, there was such a noticeable lack of romantic energy. There was no quick hug or kiss or even him sitting down on the bed, holding his hand or something like that. I mean, he rushed over after his shift which is sweet, but why did he rush over? To any outsider looking in there wouldn’t be any noticeable difference between Tommy or Eddie.
Is it just me or does Eddie seem more sarcastic in this episode? I wonder if that’s a conscious thing they’ve written in to show Eddie is struggling with Christopher’s absence or if it’s just a problem with continuity in writing?
Anyway, Tommy and Eddie laughing at Buck for his wild theory isn’t all that surprising. It is quite an outlandish theory and frankly, I probably would have reacted in a similar vein. I probably wouldn’t have burst out in laughter, but I would have definitely giggled. It’s nothing new. The show has done this before. Buck goes down the rabbit hole, creates a theory and the others look on amused at his antics. I feel like this is the vibe they were going for here, but it didn’t fully work because I do think they both laughed a little too much and too hard.
There was this short line of dialogue where Buck said ‘Oh, there’s a twist,’ and the camera focused on Eddie as he put the magazine away and started listening to Buck. The thing that went through my mind was that Eddie is quite the twist in this story all right. A little bit of foreshadowing perhaps? I don’t know. I’m probably projecting!
The loft scene with Tommy was interesting as well. First of all, Tommy was very sweet there in the beginning. I like how he cares enough to adjust his pillow and stuff. But then he once again showed little interest in Buck’s descent into the whole Billy Boils saga. And why was he sleeping on the couch? Buck has a whole bed upstairs. Did he want to keep Buck company so he could help him out if he needed assistance? It’s possible.
I have to admit though… I giggled so hard when he lied down on the couch Buck had bought with Nathalia.
But all of this brings me back to the same question: Where’s the romance?
It felt like another scene between two friends. If anything, the energy I’m getting from Buck right now is that he’s really not all that interested in Tommy. I’m starting to wonder now if the novelty of a new love has worn off, if Buck will come to the realisation next episode or even the one after that he doesn’t want to go on with Tommy at all. That his romantic feelings were very much projected on Tommy because the man was interested and opened up an entire new world of possibilities for him. But now that it’s been a few month, the rose coloured glasses are coming off and he’ll realise they don’t have a lot in common and he just isn’t all that interested in him.
I get the same vibe from Tommy to be honest. Why are they even together? What is their reason to stay together? They’re both comfortable around each other, so that’s nice I guess, but where’s the romance? You know?
I’m thinking so many thoughts right now, but I really think that their breakup will be mutual and they’ll decide they’re better off as friends.
The breakfast scene was priceless. Once again, Tommy bringing Buck some breakfast was sweet, but that’s where it ended. He visibly recoiled when he saw those boils on Buck’s face.
And then of course, Eddie comes back into the picture. It always comes back to Eddie, Eddie, Eddie when there’s a BT scene.
There was a whole discussion going on between Buck and Eddie and Tommy just sat there, telling ‘Evan’ to listen to the medic. Eddie wasn’t recoiled by Buck’s appearance and came over to help him out. He literally just dropped everything and came over. I mean…
Then Eddie tries to talk some sense into Buck and Tommy tells him to listen to Eddie. Sorry, but Tommy the plot device was plot devicing hard in this scene.
I’m kinda sad they dropped the handshake. I know it was for a silly bet, but I would have liked to see it in the episode. You could see Eddie reaching for him, but then it changed to another scene.
When I tell you I burst out into laughter as soon as Tommy revealed he has an accountant cousin!🤣 How much do we wanna bet that this accountant cousin just happens to work on the ‘Hotshots’ show? Maybe they’ll even have some inside information from that set.
Josh with the moustache!!! Three people with moustaches in this episode. Gay Josh, bisexual Buck and (fill in the blank) Eddie????
I loved the scene with the crazy Halloween calls so much! ‘Werewolves of London’ was such a fitting song here.
All right, then comes the part I really didn’t like at all. I mean… listen, I love drama as much as anyone, okay? I cried when I saw Denny and when he flatlined I went a little nuts. So, there’s nothing wrong with scenes like that in a procedural show like 911. I do however have a problem with the fact that -once again- it’s Henren that get this trauma thrust upon them.
LEAVE HENREN ALONE! LEAVE THEIR KIDS ALONE! Please I’m begging you!
The scenes were great and Aisha and Tracie acted the f*ck out of it, but it’s too much kids drama for them.
I did like Buck asking Bobby if Hen should be there and Bobby’s response to that. Bobby knows what it’s like to lose a child. He wasn’t going to tell Hen to back off.
I loved how they showed Eddie in the middle of this again. He was once again being a competent medic. They keep showing up competent Eddie. I wonder why that is? Something big is coming for him. I can feel it.
And Eddie’s face when Denny died was very telling. Something about ‘not being there when the big moments happen.’ Yeah, something big is going to happen to Eddie, for sure.
That brings us to the hospital scene.
I’ve noticed that we got a lot of romantic affection between Bathena and even Henren in this episode. In the beginning Athena kisses Bobby when she leaves after the mummy is discovered. In the hospital scene they are holding hands and sitting close together. Henren have that lovely photoshoot, the shared emotional scenes when they’re trying to save Denny and at the end that beautiful talk between them at Denny’s hospital bed.
Then there’s Tommy. He hands Buck a coffee, which again… very sweet. But where’s the rest of it? Why is there no handholding or sweet affection? Instead we got more Eddie. This time Eddie was sitting right opposite Buck, sucking on a lollipop. I mean… what??? I’m sorry! Am I not supposed to read anything into that? Clearly a choice was made there. They wanted Ryan to sit opposite Oliver and suck on a popsicle. That choice was written in the script and filmed. You know???
Then they get a message in the group chat that Denny’s okay. Tommy’s remark about how it’s a beautiful thing to have a crew behind you was the thing that made Buck realise how to break the curse. Plot device was plot devicing again.
And why was there a need to show us Eddie’s reaction to Buck exclaiming that he had found a way to break the curse? Eddie is truly involved in all things BT. So much foreshadowing.
This brings me to the graveyard scene. It was sweet how Buck wanted to honour Billy by giving him a proper burial. It also gave us Buck in a suit. I’m not complaining.
When Buck monologued, Tommy looked over to him and there was this shot of him looking very concerned. I wonder what that was about.
The montage was nice. The way Buck said that people make life worth living (and yes, he looks over at Tommy for a second, but he’s also talking about his family and how they all belong together, so don’t overthink this) and how it’s one of the worst things to have to go through life alone? I cried so hard when they showed Eddie. I swear to God, I feel this man so much. I can feel him in my bones. There is so much of him that I recognise in me. There’s a reason why he’s my favourite character.
And yes, Tommy was there in the graveyard scene, but he was waaaay in the back, still afraid to even stand next to him and apparently afraid to kiss his boyfriend. He denied it, but his last comment ‘Please lift it!’ clearly showed that he was still weirded out by the boils. That comment was very jarring somehow. The show tried to show us Tommy’s sweeter side, but then they destroyed it all by giving him one single line in the end that clearly shows us that he isn’t all in when it comes to Buck.
Random thought: What’s with the excessive use of ‘Evan’ by Tommy? It was very obvious this episode. There were so many ‘Evan’ mentions. I know Lou said that he wasn’t allowed to call him Buck, but this was a lot. It was Evan this, Evan that… I wonder if it has any meaning?
So yeah, there you have it: my thoughts. I don’t know why they called this one ‘Masks’. It had nothing to do with masks, not even metaphorical. It was just about Buck’s boils apparently. And maybe a smidgen of both Buck and Tommy wearing the mask of ‘boyfriend’ while they only truly showed them as friends?
I’m intrigued by the episode 6 promo. What do you mean it’s a rehash of Eddie begins? I really hope that the promise of this being a big Eddie episode is true. They advertised episode 5 to be a big Buck episode and while he had his moments, there have been better and bigger Buck episodes for sure.
But I need episode 6 to be a big Eddie episode. One where he struggles with his loneliness and with Chris being gone. I need to see that man go through it. And no, just like I’ve been saying, I don’t expect Eddie to leap out of that closet next episode. He will eventually, but first I need him to think about his life so far and his relationships. I need him to get a sense of direction and I hope Buck will be there for him as he tries to navigate life. I then need him to hop on a plane to get his son back. It’s time!
One more thing I want to add: Remember that this was only episode 5! We've got lots more to come. So just hang in there. I told you guys yesterday that I expected this episode would end on a good note for BT. It wasn't unexpected, but this doesn't mean anything. Bucktaylor were an actual couple that kissed and moved in together, but they still broke up in the end. So yeah, keep this in mind, will you? 🙂↕️

I actually really like how Alastor got beaten so easily (And I say easily, because it took Adam one hit to put the man on the brink of death) in the finale.
The fandom often overhypes how powerful Alastor is, and I've lost count of how often I've seen stans claiming Alastor could beat the Goetia and Sins, how Alastor is more powerful than Lucifer.
Adam being the first of mankind, no longer a mortal soul (by implication of golden blood and him saying a 'mortal soul' is no match for him), and leader of the Exorcists, it's clear he's very powerful. He took out Alastor's shield in a single punch.
Compare him and Charlie. They both got a few hits in, but Charlie's were the only ones that actually hurt Adam. She made him bleed, and Adam was clearly surprised by it, "like what the fuck, a demon managed to hurt me?" While Alastor got two hits on Adam, neither seemed to do more than annoy him.
Alastor was only able to fight him through overwhelming numbers; the tentacles and minions, which again, weren't doing much beyond keeping him occupied and away from the main fight. Which was good, don't get me wrong, keeping Adam occupied for a few minutes bought the others time to cut down the angel army's numbers. Alastor kept throwing things Adam's way to keep him on the defensive and unable to actually attack back. The few attacks Adam did manage to go after Alastor with were normal, non divine ones. Just slashing at him with his guitar-axe, which would be easy enough for anyone used to fighting to dodge.
As soon as Adam had a moment to make a serious attack, when he got sick of Alastor's games, the Radio Demon was fucked. One hit was all Adam needed for Alastor to retreat (technically two, actually. One to disarm, the other, as Alastor said himself, he barely survived) . And I love that. It shows that Alastor isn't as powerful as fans, or as the others in the hotel, think, and it shows just how much more powerful Adam was. It's humbling for Alastor to be knocked down a few pegs, and for the part of the fandom that thinks Alastor could beat God in a fistfight, it shows them that, no, Alastor isn't unbeatable.
Adding to; He wasn’t even using any angelic weapon/angelic steel when fighting Adam. The one thing confirmed to be able to kill an angel and he thought he could take Adam on without it. My man was way too overconfident in his abilities.

Unpopular opinion…
It seems as if everyone is annoyed at Bryce for not immediately sharing every detail of her world with the IC. Bryce did not read 5 ACOTAR books or know these people as we do. Her experience with Fae (rightfully) show that they are horrible. These people overthrew her enemy which must mean they are dangerous.
Although they do not physically torture her it is EXTREMELY CLEAR not just by their actions but actual DIALOGUE that they do not trust Bryce
Also, the IC just finished a war and for the first time in most of their lives are experiencing peace. We know from ACOTAR that Rhysand and friends will do all that is necessary to keep their world save even if that includes killing Bryce which could upon a portal for the big bad “Daglan/ Asteri”
Bryce realising she needs to escape and being reckless is understandable she left her mate and family behind and she doesn’t have time to win the IC’s trust. They clearly view her as a prisoner not a guest and have disarmed her. Bryce does not have one reason to trust them or even expect to them to be trustworthy.
I feel the people who feel let down by this crossover are let down by the fact that the CRESCENT CITY book centers around the CRESCENT CITY characters and isn’t more batboy smut.
There are definitely plot points that could have been dealt with better such as the information from Silene, everything about Ithan. The biggest issue I have with Bryce is her seemingly having this golden hamster wheel in her mind which happens to make perfect conveniently timed plans. Bryce does feel like a moderniser attempt at Aelin’s character. That being said constantly drawing comparisons between the FMC takes away from them so it isn’t something I feel I should do.
Ithan is so annoying to me especially his inability to stay on track or have any logical thought process. I don’t understand his undying loyalty to the wolves who abandoned and betrayed him. Sigrid tried to KILL HIM as well but he still yapped on about her and had no respect for his friend Cormac by not even protesting against the idea of resurrecting Sophie just to use her power to make himself feel better. He should have focused on the friends that are loyal to him which he even called his pack.
Also ENOUGH with the sunball references. Only so much benefits can be drawn from sunball which directly correlates with any real world benefit.
Tharion just feels like one big yap fest (lack of a better explanation to convey the boredom he perpetuates in me). Aidas and Appolion also could have spoken up about EVERYTHING about two books ago or at least in all their little encounters with Hunt.
Jesiba Roga and Fury 🤝 Mor and Amren
(Overhyped and underperforming)
I have religiously read every Sarah J Maas and all things considered I really enjoyed this book it might even be my favorite in the CC universe.
I enjoyed it more than Tower of Dawn, ACOSF and ACOFAS but I will not read the next book if it is about Ithan or Tharion.
I suspect Azriel is linked to Hel but Sarah definitely still has alot of loose threads surrounding him which is starting to feel redundant and an elaborate attempt at making him seem mysterious.
Things I would like so see in the Maasverse: the parasite being removed from the water and the Midgardians tapping into their raw power, better understanding of Bryce and Hunt joint ability. I also think Sarah could become one of the best fantasy writers of all time if she focused more on how the multiverse works (time differences, abilities (technicalities of it all). I would like to know what happened to Erilea because all the evidence points to it being a conquered world which will honestly just be depressing but we see that Prythian and midgard follow the same time sequence so perhaps Erilea is joined in on that time scape and Aelin falling through still happens relatively “recent”.
And I agree on how annoying the term “alphahole” is but lets focus on the real enemy “his luxurious length”. That just reminds me of ms Perky in 10 things I hate about you and Reginalds quivering member.
Let’s move away from the smut which was excellently balanced out in TOG in my opinion. I do think that Sarah amortised her credibility as a fantasy writer between TOG and ACOTAR by focusing more on the smut scenes and not the plot point. I am ready to be hated but I DON’T care about what Lorcan did or Cassian and the stupid headboard. I DO care about how the time differs between the universes, the different gods in all the worlds and how they link, each string on the harp and the different heritages.

jameson hawthorne. he’s just pookie (but guess what… i have more reasons than just that for liking him 😨) so first of all, he’s hilarious… like that has to count for something, he’s also hot so yk but besides that, he cares so much for the people that he loves and he’s just sndhdjhdhd anyway yeah. he’s like anything anyone could want and he’s a consent king (unlike some people) and like ik hes had his moments of treating avery like a game but yk if we can say grayson is the way he is because of emily and stuff i think we can also say that for jameson (also the fact that he was like bullied by his grandpa…) and yet he still manages to be night to people
avery grambs. she’s a really good fem mc and i think that jlb did a really good job of making her someone that people can relate to and making her normal. she’s smart and she’s kinda just trying her best and i love that for her
xander hawthorne. buddy is so funny like he’s also who i feel like i would be the most likely to be friends with/date irl. like the book BOUQUET?? he’s super nice and he likes scones AND he’s smart what nots to like
gigi grayson. me and her are literally the same person tbh like i actually love her so much and i feel like we would be really good friends irl because she’s such a cutie patootie
max liu. she also reminds me of myself… like the strict parents, the personality and the inability to curse is so me tbh. ik people find her annoying but i like her so wtv
libby grambs. i think everyone loves her… the way that she’s managed to stay so positive when she’s been through so much is like incredible to be tbh and she can bake so
nash hawthorne. he’s really great and all but like we don’t get to see much of him but i still love him fr
savannah grayson. she’s a baddie and i love her but again we just haven’t seen enough of her for me to like LOVEEE her if you know what i mean
rebeca laughlin. she’s nice and stuff but like at the same time sometimes she was a little bit annoying and made me mad… like the way she was always clinging to thea annoyed by yk 😭😭
thea calligaris. never liked her that much?? like she was better at the end but she was so mean to avery for like no reason and it annoyed me
grayson hawthorne. VERY strong feelings on him as most of you know but my main points are that he’s dull and people only like him because “he’s pookie” and blonde so it’s like he was so overhyped to be a gentleman and a “golden retriever” that when i actually read the book and he only made like five appearances a book to be mean to avery and then kiss her on live tv (when there were many other ways to make her shut up btw) and then yeah he was also just so caught up on emily and every time he said “evie” it made me wanna throw up. and then um also when he acted like he was better than avery because he grew up rich was 🤔🤔 and um the way he was granddaddy’s favorite child and still managed to like make that about how horrible his life is 😭😭 and yeah i would be upset too if my inheritance was taken by some random girl but GOD DANG. you don’t just going around accusing people like that
eve blake. BRUH. NO ONE LIKES HER I DONY EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN
anyway this took forever don’t cancel me bye 😻
#the inheritance games#jennifer lynn barnes#the hawthorne legacy#avery kylie grambs#the grandest game#jameson hawthorne#the brothers hawthorne#grayson hawthorne#nash hawthorne#xander hawthorne#max liu#libby grambs

The thing about Rocky Horror Picture Show (srry my mom and also my friends no offence) is, I also dislike it. I like it's songs and also old now-problematic gay rep is still gay rep.
Personally I just never really liked the tone or the character of Frank-n-furter especially- but also in how it's treated as the definitive horror musical and how it's "SUCH a magical experience!" when clearly like...no...it was/is a magical midnight movie experience for some people but when you try and insist I have the exact same experience/love/adoration for that thing that you have...sorry but I just really hate that attitude. I try to avoid that as much as possible with my own fandoms and getting newbies in- imposing a way you're supposed to feel only makes you feel more isolated for just not feeling it, and so makes you more resentful.
Point being: it's overrated and it was overhyped to me, both as an experience and a movie. Little Shop, Phantom and Sweeney Todd will always mean more to me as musicals too. EVEN SO- Rocky Horror is so influential to musicals, genre films, horror, horror comedy, camp and be movies, gay cinema (I could go on and on) that if nothing else you ought to respect it. Not love or even like it- but respect it.
Lily is such a bad fan+critic+media analysis that she actively makes me disagree with my own opinion and want to defend the thing I dislike from her. I can only imagine that's how Vivziepop must've felt when she tried and failed -as so many often do- to sit through Lily's SU video; "omg no THAT's not what's wrong* with it, and if it is what's wrong holy shit girl wtf is your deal?!"
It's one thing to be blunt abt disliking Rocky Horror. If Lily was all "I hate this movie; Frank n Furter is a grapist, even Lindsay Ellis agreed back in the day. Also it's fans are annoying and I dislike the music ick", there'd be an outcry but honestly I've heard worse and guys it is just a musical. People matter more than things. But OF COURSE, Lily can't do that. No, she has to put everyone who's ever liked the damn musical under fire and call them 'bad' and 'boring' and 'creepy'. She has to insinuate things about their personal lives over them liking the horny stupid sex dragshow and how their interest is inherently "bad gay rep". No nuance. It's not HER gay rep so it's not allowed to be ANYONE'S REP, apparently.
If you wanna see someone make harsh but fair take down of Rocky Horror (moreso it's fandom, tho I'd argue that in the case of the film experience they're kind of one in the same) and then also get some nice gay rep in yourself to balance it out, watch Tuca and Bertie season 2. Actually, watch Tuca and Bertie however you can and also probably Rocky Horror again if that is your comfort flick...you'll need to go to your happy place after you look into the abyss of Lily Orchard.

i know you said if you never mentioned a webtoon you either don't read it or don't have a strong opinion so sorry beforehand if this ask might be annoying, but im just curious if you have any opinion on remarried empress, specifically the whole uhhh extremely villified woman who happens to be a slave. its not the exact same as minthe but i do always see the parallels between them since both are oppressed and 'lower-class' women in opposition to the mary sue protagonist and the fans are just very classist when insulting them ('she doesn't know her place' etc etc) i kinda see RE as the korean version of LO coz they're both so popular and annoyingly everywhere/overhyped (tho i have to admit RE has better consistency with art and story). But i have a greater distaste for RE mostly coz the fans keep showing up in other webtoons comment sections lol
yeeeah the remarried empress is literally one of those exact webtoons that fits that category of "stuff I know is shit so I'm not gonna bother" LMAO I'm not a huge fan of royal family type dramas anyways, the genre just ain't for me (or I haven't found one that's connected with me yet) but I'm definitely not interested in reading a royal family drama that I know from the start I won't enjoy due to its writing LOL (I can appreciate why people like the ones that are written well though, again, a lot of them just aren't for me)
that said, there's a lot to support the theory that Rachel is trying to do some "royal family drama" thing with LO (especially with some of the language in the comic, like how Ares and Apollo will go off about Persephone's "pedigree"??? which is just such royal family "pure bloodline" eugenics crap tbh), but she's failing at it immensely because 1.) she's not good at writing drama, let alone royal family drama, and 2.) a lot of royal family dramas on Webtoons these days are also garbage so whatever she's taking inspiration from probably isn't high quality to begin with ( ;`ヘ´) Hades and Persephone definitely reek of "rich and powerful white couple who use their power to abuse the lower class" and they don't even have the benefit of having interesting character arcs, they're just boring and mean.
#and yeah the whole rashta thing is wild#she's straight up minthe#lower class woman who's made out to be the villain simply for not wanting to be lower class ??#that's p much all i've gleaned from the people who talk about RE so take this whole post with mountains of salt#remarried empress#webtoon critical#ama#ask me anything#anon ama#anon ask me anything

The day we stop praising ouat for its “amazing and subversive” character arc it gave Regina is the day I rest because you look at the overhyped mess it is and it’s just, kind of, there?? I just don’t understand what people are seeing that I don’t. I’ll be the one to say it - David and Snow have more believable arcs on average and are more interesting and compelling characters than Regina. Out of the three she’s the weakest in my eyes. It’s the same “villain is actually just broken” story you’ve seen a million times.
Villain redemptions in general are so overrated. Give me a flawed yet determined hero that will do anything to lead everyone out of the mess their in any day. Give me characters that strive to be good no matter what happens to them, instead of defaulting to murder at the first sign of something bad happening. Give me people who want nothing more than a peaceful life but fight for the greater good anyway. Give me characters who only improve in the face of hardship. Give me characters who love and care so naturally for those around them because they never got that treatment in their own lives. Give me the people deemed boring and annoying by the fanbase.
Give me Snow and David, basically.
#ouat#once upon a time#david nolan#snow white#mary margaret blanchard#again i’m not slandering regina#at least not as a person#I suppose I am slandering her character/writing#Redemption arcs have never patcularly been Once’s strong suit#i’m sorry but it’s true

For the choosing violence thing.
I curious about your thoughts on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24, and 25
(Your thoughts make my day tbh)
lol i gotchu pinky
the character everyone gets wrong: Dan. she's not a badass. i mean she is, but she's not. she's a scared little girl who had to raise herself and has no idea what she's doing at any given time and i love her for it
why andrew would never top or bottom: actually he does both, and tends to enjoy it. kind of an agressive top but Neil likes it, and sometimes likes to follow orders when he bottoms 🫣 i think they do anything and everything with each other. Neil could be dominant or submissive at any given time, which gives Andrew space to learn about what he actually enjoys. He finds that as long as it involves Neil, he doesn't mind
worst tumblr take I've seen: that Andrew was a misogynist because he doesn't like being manipulated, and "manipulation is a woman's weapon" like how is THAT not misogynistic be so real
why did you block that annoying person?: kept saying that Kevin abused Riko as much as Riko abused Kevin. don't know how far they had to reach into the depths of their asshole to find that one, i just hope they didn't get stuck
i don't have discord
which ship fans are the most annoying: y'all are going to absolutely murder me for this but kevaaron. 1) where did it come from? 2) what's wrong with Katie?? 3) no hate ship what u want but also, i can ship what i want? and it's fine it's literally fine
what character did you start to hate because of fanon: i hate to say it but Thea. i adored her when I read the books originally, but after 4 years of exclusively fanon content i didn't like her. but i did a reread recently and adore her again so it's all good
common fandom opinion everyone is wrong about: Andrew being a sex god. Neil is his first consensual sexual partner. like yeah he knows how to suck dick like a dying man, which he learned in juvie (when he was 13-16?) but in terms of sex? he doesn't know what he's doing and he's probably really scared and nervous
worst part of canon: kevin and thea turning their daughter into a mini Raven 😔
worst part of fanon: Renee erasure 😔😔
fandom related words you've filtered: as of currently? anything tsc related because I don't have access to it yet and people aren't tagging properly. but I also have Rinee (rixo x renee) blocked because,,, what do you actually mean
unpopular character you like and why people should like them: Aaron. yeah he's an asshole and a little homophobic but he was raised that way and he's getting better
worst blorboification: if this means what i think it means, fucking riko. like wdym "he serves cunt" he needs to serve time
answered prev
answered prev
you can't understand why this is popular: kevaaron, any riko ship, riko himself, ichirou x neil, andreil breaking up in fics ?
there should be more of this: fic: oral fixation. sexual or non sexual idc but let's Freud these bitches. fanart: ANDREW WITH LONG HAIR PLS PLS PLS
it's criminal that y'all have been sleeping on: STUART HATFORD. LITERALLY NEXT TO WYMACK ON THE FATHER FIGURE SCALE. I LOVE HIM
you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like: i don't feel guilt I'm Presbyterian
part of canon you found boring: anytime they were in class like wdym
part of canon you think is overhyped: this one is going to get me in trouble so i wanna start off by saying that yes, Riko was a victim of abuse. I'm not disputing that at all. but the part where he got beat by Tetsuji and "was more blood and bruise than skin", while being horrible, was also because of Kevin leaving due to Riko breaking his hand. Tetsuji lost one of his biggest investments because of Riko's petty ego
fav part of canon that everyone ignores: Stuart Hatford man
ship you've unwillingly come around to: Kandreil lol. i didn't like it at first but idk the more fanfic i see I'm like yeah that could be cute
topic that brings up the most rancid discourse: picture this, if you will: Nora Sakavic says something about her own damn characters. yeah that's all
common fandom complaint you're sick of hearing: "it's poorly written" it's not. if you can get over the first chapter of The Raven King, the rest is actually written very well and it's so so beautiful and depicts traumatized characters in a way I haven't seen before that is very refreshing
ty for the ask pinky ily
#aftg#all for the game#andrew minyard#nora sakavic#the foxhole court#neil josten#andreil#kevin day#aaron minyard#jean moreau#alison reynolds#matt boyd#renee walker#stuart hatford#riko moriyama#tetsuji moriyama#dan wilds#nicky hemmick#kandreil#kateaaron

Two Worlds. - Yves
A fun idea Ghost and I came together about.
“Have you heard the new Loona comeback?”
“Heard? I attended a fan meeting! They were so cool!”
.
.
.
Amongst the excited chatters of the relatively small café, there is only one person who feels exactly the opposite from everyone.
That’s you, of course.
“Great, another wave of brain-dead fans spamming ‘Stan Loona’ to almost every account on social media.” You groan lightly, sipping on your coffee.
As if to mock you further, Loona’s latest comeback, ‘So What’ start playing on the speaker, to the excitement of everyone, and the disappointment of you.
Exasperated, you put in your earbuds to play your own favorite music than to listen to another single second of that god forsaken song.
Even with the music blasting in your earbuds, you can still hear the loud noises of the fans singing along with the song or doing fan chants, the combined voice of everyone overtaking the music in your earbuds. Fucking hell.
Before you manage to turn the volume to maximum, however, you feel a hand on shoulder, prompting you to look up and see your friend, the only reason why you’re sitting at this café instead of your usual place.
“Looks like you aren’t enjoying the atmosphere, huh?” She snickers at you, sitting down opposite you, as you are taking your earbuds off.
“Gee, I wonder why.” you roll your eyes at her, earning a small giggle from her.
“Come on, relax a bit, it’s just music you know.” Your friend snickers at you. “Yeah, but I don’t go onto every social media pages just to spam ‘Stan Loona’, Sooyoung.” You let out a groan. “Seriously, the fans need to chill a bit.”
“I take it that you still haven’t checked out the new song?” Your friend, Ha Sooyoung asks casually, ordering a cup of coffee from the waitress.
“Well, you already know how I feel about Loona.” You shrug, taking another sip of your coffee. “I-” Before you start your usual rant about Loona, Sooyoung interrupts your words.
“Yeah, yeah, you don’t hate the girls, but it’s the fans overhyping them, and your friends are those type of fans as well, so you purposefully avoid Loona, just to spite the fans, your friends included, correct?” Sooyoung rolls her eyes, even with her mask and hat on, you can see the annoyed expression on her face.
“Exactly, you know me so well, Sooyoung-ah~” You chuckle, teasing her a bit with a wink. “Please, how many times do you think I’ve heard you said that?” Sooyoung receives her order, only to pull her mask down to take a small sip before pulling her mask up again, acting very suspicious.
“You know, what’s with that getup?” You eye her curiously. “What do you mean?”
“Well, the bucket hat and the surgical mask, not mentioning those spectacles as well, it’s like you don’t want anyone to see you.” You squint your eyes, looking at her in contemplation, to which Sooyoung just groans in annoyance “I was busy, so I didn’t do my makeup, ok?”
“Well, in my opinion, you look good even without makeup, so be more confident, ok?” You offer her a small smile, causing her to blush slightly underneath her mask.
“Bah! You and your silver tongue!” Sooyoung turns away, her eyes looking at the people who is singing yet another Loona song on the speaker, her gaze softens slightly, to your utter confusion. But then again, you aren’t really curious about anything Loona-related.
So, in an effort to change the topic of conversation, you look at your friend’s appearance, before noticing something new.
“Did you cut your hair?” You ask, causing her to look back at you “Hmm?”
“Your hair.” You gesture towards her hair “You cut it?”
“Ah! Yeah, I did, I figured I want to renew my image.” Her eyes crinkles into a smile, starting to make a few poses to show off her hair. “How does it look? Good?”
You roll your eyes playfully “Duh, you always look good.” Sooyoung smiles back at him, although her mask is still on, you can somehow see the beautiful smile underneath it.
Without realizing, you chat with Sooyoung for a long while. Despite Loona’s songs blasting, along with the boisterous fans screaming their lungs out with the song. You surprising don’t mind them, too engrossed in your conversation with Sooyoung to care about your ‘hate’ for Loona.
If only you can meet her more frequently.
.
.
.
-------
“Hmm, she is quite late….” You mutter to yourself, eyeing your watch for the 5th time today.
To say that you’re excited is an understatement, because today is quite special, for you at least.
You get to see Sooyoung again!
Given, it’s not like you don’t meet her often, but with how hectic your schedule is, with both college and your internship, and Sooyoung’s schedule, both of you rarely get to meet each other, often going for months between meetups.
Besides that, this is also their first meetup after her-
Before you continue your line of thought, your vision is suddenly covered by something soft and delicate as you hear a very familiar voice behind you.
“Guess who?~”
Chuckling softly, you reach for her hands, pulling them down gently while looking up at your girlfriend, Sooyoung, smiling down at you. “Hey Sooyoung” Unbeknownst to you, your lips automatically curl up into a smile at the sight of her, as she does the same to you with her bright smile.
“Hey honey~” Sooyoung takes a seat next to you on the bench, one of the usual spots for your meetups, seclude and quiet, just like how Sooyoung likes.
“This is the first time we’re meeting as a couple and you’re already calling me ‘honey’?” You raise an eyebrow at her, your tone full of teasing. “Oh, don’t act like you don’t like, Mr. Dense.” Sooyoung rolls her eyes playfully.
“Ouch, guilty as charged” You scratch your head sheepishly.
You really have nothing to say, given the fact that it took Sooyoung to kiss you for you to realize that she wasn’t just being nice to you for the past year, that she wanted something more, and that you were too oblivious to your own feelings to recognize that.
Suddenly, the atmosphere turn quiet as Sooyoung leans her head against your shoulder, her hand intertwined with yours as both of you sit in somewhat comfortable silence, just enjoying each other’s presences.
It’s rare how quiet Sooyoung is today, because for as long as you know her, she has been always full of energy, whether it was talking, or teasing you, or playing games. You can always feel her abundance of energy.
It’s like you’re seeing a whole new side of her today. But you like it. Well, to be more precise, you like her.
“Tired?” As much as you want to enjoy the silence, you can’t help but ask about her schedule, being worried that she may be overworking yourself.
“Mhmm…” You feel a nod on your shoulder and a hum instead of a verbal answer, but it’s enough for you.
“So, what do you want to do today? You did say you want to do something fun for our first official date.”
“Let’s just, stay here for the time being. I like it here, especially with you.” Her words cause you to lose control of your expression, and blush furiously, earning a giggle from her. “Cute” She leans up for a quick peck on your cheek, before resuming her previous position, this time both of her hands playing with yours.
After a few minutes of silence, you remember something that she told you to do a few days ago.
“I listened to the song.” You say suddenly, to the confusion of Sooyoung. “‘Not Friends’. The song that you recommended. I listened to it.” Let it be known that in all the times you know her, you’ve never seen her brighten up instantly like today.
“Finally! I specifically chose that song because I know you would like it.” She smiles proudly, her cheeks puffing up in a cute manner, causing an urge in you to pinch them.
“I only listened to it because of you. You know I avoid Loona-”
“Yeah, yeah, I know. But do you like it?” She cuts you off, staring you at you expectantly.
It doesn’t take you long to break under her gaze. “I like it, it’s very catchy.” Looking at her expression, you can see… Disappointment?
“What, that’s it?” She asks you, seemingly in disbelief. “What, I just listen to the song like you said, and I like it, isn’t that what you want?” You are confused at her reaction.
“What about the singers? What do you think about their voices?” Sooyoung decides to promote you for an answer. “Well, their voices are very nice, and one of them has a similar voice to you, so I like it?” To you utter confusion, you watch as Sooyoung grows more disappointed.
“Did you watch the video I sent?” She asks you in a serious tone with a glare, causing you to tremble slightly. “N-no, I didn’t have to the time to check it, so I just listened to it on Spotify while I work…”
Sooyoung lets out a sigh and shakes her head in an exaggerated manner, seemingly very disappointed. “I suppose I expected too much out of you.”
“… I’m sorry?” Is the only thing you can say, not even know why she is so upset.
“You’re lucky that I like you, and I’m very tired today, so we are heading back to your place, and we’re going to cuddle the whole day, got it?” She glares at you, seemingly not taking ‘no’ for an answer.
Despite being taken by surprise by her very much weird demand, who in their right mind refuse a cuddle session?
“Ok, let’s make a detour to the convenient store for some snacks, then we’re going to watch some Netflix while cuddling?” You know her too well at this point, that you can guess what she wants, and thank God you are correct, as her expression brightens up significantly.
“Now that’s more like it~” She giggles, grabbing your arm “Let’s go! There’s a new series on Netflix that I want to check out today!” and she pulls you off towards your apartment.
Later….
“It’s too bad that he hasn’t figured it out yet, I really wanted to see his reaction…” Sooyoung mumbles to herself.
“Hmm? You were saying something?”
“No, nothing at all.” She smiles softly before leaning against you, the both of you comfy on your couch as you start the Netflix show, knowing that inevitably it’s going to end with the both of you asleep at the halfway mark.
But you don’t really care about it, you only care about spending time with her.

“Oh my god Hyeju please you can step on me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”
“Please, for the love of God, shut the fuck up Zach, you’re giving me a headache here.”
Lunchtime, and currently you are sitting with your friends at the cafeteria, wanting to enjoy a rare breaktime that all of you share in your hectic schedules. However, a certain someone must spoil the peace and tranquility with his severe fanatic simping for someone.
One of your friends, Zack, is currently hyperventilating while holding his phone, watching some Loona performances on the phone that you can’t even care about.
“Bro, if you’re not going to eat your food, I will.” Your friend Kaylen who is sitting next to you points his chopsticks towards to Zack’s lunch, threatening him.
“Ok, ok, sheesh, don’t act you guys don’t fanboy them as well, except you of course, you Loona hater.” Zack reluctantly pipes down, not before poking you with a comment, clearly meant to tease you. However, you’re not one to take this lying down.
“Well at least I don’t annoy other people by constantly tell them to listen to Loona. I don’t go up to every comment section of every social media page available to spam ‘stan Loona’. And I especially don’t claim people that don’t even know I exist as ‘my wife’.”
Grasping the chance, you unleash a triple combo attack at Zack, shutting him up completely. However, your other 2 friends were also attacked by that last statement.
“Goddamn it Zack, why did you have to trigger him, now all 3 of us are attacked.” Mike, who is sitting opposite of you, grumbles, hitting Zack on the shoulder.
“How would I know he would retaliate like that?” Zack tries to defend himself. “Zack your dumbass, we’ve been friends with him for so long and you can still say that?” Kaylen lets out a sigh.
However, you’re not done yet.
“I still hate ‘So What’ and ‘Why Not’.” You decide add salt to injury, knowing all three of them used to dislike those songs, but warm up to it.
“IT’S AN ACQUIRED TASTE!” As expected, the other 3 glare at you instantly, though you don’t really give a damn about that, continuing with your lunch instead.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.” You snicker, looking at your friends, lowkey satisfied that you manage to trigger them again.
“Ugh, it’s been a long time since they debut already, why don’t you give them a try?” Zack is still trying to rope you into being an Orbit. “Yeah, I did, and I hate the song.” You refer to the two songs that you mentioned previously.
“Dude, just give up already. The more you try, the more this guy resist.” Mike pats Zack on the shoulder, maybe a bit too harshly.
“Ow-, fine” Zack finally shuts up and eats his lunch, leaving the 4 of you eating in comfortable silence.
However, knowing your friends, silence can never last too long when you’re with them.
Soon enough, all 3 of them are watching the Loona performances that Zack was watching halfway through beforehand. Each of them silently fanboying to their idols.
Rolling your eyes, you decide not to trigger them for now, letting them enjoy their ‘simping’ time.
As you take out your earbuds, intending on enjoying your music, you accidentally catch glimpses of the video playing on Kaylen’s phone, and you freeze suddenly. Kaylen of course notices your weird gesture pretty quickly. “What’s wrong?” he looks at you weirdly.
“What are you watching?” You manage to find your voice despite the surprise, pointing at Kaylen’s phone. “Oh, It’s Loona’s Butterfly performance on Queendom 2, Why?” Kaylen raises an eyebrow at your question.
“Nothing, nothing, don’t mind me” You say quickly, causing Kaylen to give you a weird glance before resuming focus on his phone.
You, however, immediately search up the video, and watch it. Since you don’t know which part it was that you saw, you let the video play naturally.
Fortunate for you, you don’t have to watch for long to confirm your suspicion. One and a half minute into the video, and you see the face of your dear girlfriend, Ha Sooyoung, as one of the idols performing in the video.
“Holy shit!” unable to contain yourself, you exclaim loudly, garnering the attention of all your friends. “The hell? What’s gotten into you?” Kaylen exclaims, peering into the screen before letting out a huge “OHHHH” with a sly grin on his face.
“Mike, this guy is captured by Yves” Kaylen turns to Mike, and with a brief sentence, everyone at the table understands (or rather, misunderstand) the situation entirely.
“Really? This guy is fancying my wife?” Mike is rather surprised. “Although we are finally to pull him down the rabbit hole, I’m not sharing my wife with anyone.”
Hearing Mike say that you look down at the screen, then up at Mike. “Who are you calling ‘your wife’?” You ask, trying your best to suppress the spark of jealous that growing in your chest.
Oblivious to your feelings, Mike nonchalantly points to your phone screen. “Her, Yves, or rather, Ha Sooyoung, love of my life.”
Let it be known that you’ve rarely felt jealous about anything in your entire life. Nonetheless, seeing your friend professing his love towards your girlfriend with such love stricken eyes make you suddenly want to punch Mike. In the face.
It takes you a few deep breaths in order to suppress this stupid jealousy feeling in his heart. It’s so stupid, Mike doesn’t even know who’s your girlfriend, he’s just simping his idol. Stop being jealous.
Despite telling yourself that repeatedly in your head, you still find it hard to cool your head. “I’m heading to the restroom.” You abruptly stand up with your phone and bag, heading out of the cafeteria. Your mind filtering out any kind of sounds right now besides your own thoughts.
Zack was in the middle of his passionate speech about why you should stan Loona when you abruptly stand up and leave, causing him to stop midway. “Why is he leaving?” He scratches his head, confused at your action. Mike and Kaylen only roll their eyes at him.
At the restroom, you splash your face with cold water a few times until you regain your composure again. Afterwards, you just stand there, leaning against the sink, looking into your reflection in the mirror, your mind sorting through all the clues that you obliviously missed throughout your time with Sooyoung.
Her various combinations of masks, hats and shades to hide her face. Her favorite spots being secluded places like that small café and the small park to avoid her fans. Her hair constantly changing, from long to short, from black to brown and now, pink due to the comebacks. Her hectic schedule, of course being training and promotions and such. Her bruises, aches, and general exhaustion as well, thanks to the training for the performances in Queendom.
All the signs were there, yet you were too dense, too stubborn to figure it out. All because of your petty grudge.
“Aish, Sooyoung is right, I really am dense….” You let out a groan, leaning your forehead against the mirror.
Though, you can’t help but chuckle at the ridiculousness at it all. You, who vehemently avoid any and all Loona related contents, is currently dating one of its members.
Taking one last deep breath, you pull out your phone to dial a number. Her number to be exact.
The phone ring exactly one time before the call is connected, and you hear her voice on the other side.
“Hey honey~”
Only after hearing her voice that you realize you don’t know what to say about what you just discovered. You can only let out a small chuckle “I’m such a dense idiot, aren’t I?”
Soon enough, you hear her giggle on the other side of the line.
“Of course, you are, but you’re my dense idiot, and only I am allowed to say that to you!” You can’t help but smile softly, your mind already imagining her puffed up cheeks while saying that.
“Is anyone bullying you?! Just tell me, I’ll protect you!”
Biting your inner cheek, you feel like this need to be a proper conversation instead of a phone call, face to face, so you ask her out for a date instead.
“Actually, I want to meet you, when are you free?”

“Ok, ok, I get it honey, I was blinded back then, you don’t need to bring it up again.” You let out a sigh as all of a sudden, your girlfriend starts to reminisce about their past, more specifically, your dark past. And she is determined to make sure to remind you of it.
“Nah, I’ll never let you live it down as long as you’re alive~” Giggling, Sooyoung nuzzles her cheek against your chest as the both of you are laying down on the couch in your apartment, getting some much respite amidst the turmoil that is the bullshit stuffs BBC is putting Loona through.
“I still can’t believe it took you a whole year to figure out that I’m a part of Loona though” Sooyoung snickers. “And you even dared to say in front of my face that you dislike Loona. How ironic it is that you fell in love with me~” Sooyoung continues with the assault, not leaving you any leeway at all.
Knowing that Sooyoung has been very tensed for the past days, you decide to let her win this one, not saying anything else. Nonetheless, being quiet doesn’t mean you’re not doing anything, as your hands found their way around her back, gently circling around her back, earning a soft moan from her.
Thing stay quiet for a while, with just you and her, enjoying your quiet time together, in the confine if your apartment, well, with how much Sooyoung stay over ever since the whole shitstorm with BBC start, it’s more like your shared apartment with her.
“Honey, how long have we been together?” Sooyoung asks softly, looking up to you.
“Hmm, 2 years. Why?” you look down at her, raising an eyebrow.
Sooyoung just shakes her head, smiling softly. “Only 2 years? It feels like a lifetime already.”
“Well, we’ve been through quite a lot together, you know.” You can’t help but return that smile as well. Sooyoung then moves up a bit, until her face is hovering right above yours, with her nose barely touching the tip of yours.
Without saying anything, she just stares at you, her eyes seem to be searching something, as you can feel her gaze scanning every inch of your face.
“What are you doing?” “Admiring my handsome man~” Sooyoung wastes no time flirting with you, and she never fails to turn your face into a tomato. “Shut up.” You groan, avoiding her eyes in order to save what’s left of your pride and dignity. Heh, as if you have any from the start.
“Hey” Sooyoung whispers, pulling your attention back to her. You gaze back at her beautiful, near flawless face, your eyes locking sight with hers as the both of you momentarily forget what to say, both are just too enamored in each other’s presences right now. You seem to lose control of your body, as your hand almost automatically reaches up to her face, cupping her face gently with your thumb slowly stroking her cheek, and you can see and feel Sooyoung leans her head more into your touch, nuzzling against the palm of your hand like it’s the most natural thing ever for her.
“Hey” You respond back to her, despite it being a late response.
Looking at her expression, you can tell that there are million thoughts in her head right now, with her trying her best to sort her thoughts and trying to find her words. You patiently wait for her.
Eventually, she settles for something simple, yet incredibly meaningful.
“I love you.” She smiles softly, her lips curl up gently along with the crinkle of her eyes, her cheek exposing just a hint of a dimple, looking absolutely adorable right now. It was because of this smile of hers that pulled you down the rabbit hole that was “Ha Sooyoung”. But honestly? You never regretted it, not for a second, because….
“I love you too” You respond to her, your thumb moving across her cheek with slow and tender strokes. “Always have been, and always will be.”
Sooyoung giggles softly, her cheek blushing quite a bit. “You and your silver tongue.”
“Said you, Ms. Yves who flirts with girls she met.” You let out a chuckle. “Honestly, if I’m not already with you, I would have thought that you have like, a harem of your own.”
Sooyoung then leans down for a soft kiss, her body onto of yours as you feel her arms wrapping around your neck, your hands unconsciously holding her waist like it’s second nature for you.
“I don’t need a harem. I just need you.” Her head then buries into the crook of your neck, nuzzling further against you.
“I know honey, I know.”
Once again, silence fills the apartment, with the only audible sound being your rhythmic breathing.
And once again, it is Sooyoung who disrupts the silence. But this time with a loud yawn,
“Have anyone ever told you, your heartbeat is very soothing?” You manage to catch some of her words, before feeling her body loosening against you.
“This girl….” You can’t help but chuckle fondly, before leaning down and place a kiss on top of her head. “Get some rest, my love.”
It doesn’t take long for you to feel sleepy as well, with you being equally tired as her from all the recent lawsuits. But now isn’t the time to think about that. Now is the time to rest, and you intend to get a good night sleep, with your loved one by your side.
“Heh, I guess in the end I couldn’t avoid Loona for long.” You chuckle softly to yourself before joining Sooyoung in the dreamland shortly afterwards.
