Your Safe Space

Max Verstappen x reader

Summary: You and Max are polar opposites. You're shy, and he's... well...not. You listen, and he's Maxplaining. But despite all the differences, you are perfect for each other.

Warning: None

The celebration at the Dutch Grand Prix was intense, even by Formula 1 standards. The crowd of orange-clad fans cheered loudly as Max claimed another home win, their excitement palpable. You watched from the garage, feeling a mix of pride and underlying anxiety as he took his place on the podium.

"Time to head to the paddock," Christian Horner said with understanding, noticing your nervous fidgeting. He had become protective of you, realizing why his star driver was so careful about your comfort.

The real challenge began after Max finished his media duties. What started as a steady stream of well-wishers quickly turned into a chaotic rush of fans and journalists, all eager for a glimpse of the Dutch champion. You found yourself caught in it, gripping Max's race suit as camera flashes went off around you.

"Max! Can I have your autograph?" "Can we take a picture?" "Is this your girlfriend?" "Look this way!" "Just one question about the championship!"

The different voices merged into a deafening noise. Your breathing quickened as the world around you felt dizzy. Max sensed your grip tighten and immediately shifted from his relaxed post-race demeanor to a more protective stance.

"Enough," he said firmly, but kindly, cutting through the chaos. He wrapped his arm around your waist, pulling you closer. "Please step back."

But the crowd, electrified by their hero's success, pushed even closer. An eager photographer leaned in, his camera mere inches from your face. Max's expression hardened, and the competitive intensity he usually displayed on the track came through fully.

"BACK UP!" His voice carried the authority he used with his race engineer during tense moments. "NOW!"

His right arm created a barrier between you and the crowd while his left arm held you securely against him. You buried your face in his chest, grateful for the safety of his embrace, inhaling the familiar scent of champagne and racing fuel on his suit.

"Jos! Hannah!" Max called his father and PR manager, who were already moving to assist. "Make a path."

They quickly formed a human barrier. Max turned his body, shielding you from the cameras and reaching hands. You felt him start to move, guiding you through the chaos with the same precision he used on the track.

"Keep your eyes closed if you need to," he murmured against your hair. "I've got you. Just a few more meters."

The noise began to fade as security finally took control. Max didn't stop until you reached the private area behind the Red Bull hospitality suite, where it was quieter and protected by team security.

"I'm so sorry about that," he said softly, gently cupping your face and wiping away tears you hadn't realized were falling. "They shouldn't have gotten so close. Are you okay?"

You managed a shaky nod, still trying to steady your breathing. Max's eyes searched yours, filled with concern and a hint of anger—not at you, but at the situation.

"We can skip the team celebration," he offered right away. "I'll tell Christian—"

"No," you whispered, finding your voice. You didn't want to take this moment away from him. "Just… stay close?"

His expression softened, and he pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Always. We’ll go through it together, alright? And if it feels overwhelming, we squeeze hands three times. That’s our signal, and we leave right away. No questions."

You nodded, grateful for his understanding and the small systems he put in place to help you navigate his world. Max pulled you into another hug, his heart beating steadily against your ear.

"You know," he said after a moment, a hint of pride in his voice, "you're braver than any driver on that grid. They only face the crowds when they're winning. You face them every day, just because you love me."

For the first time since the crowd incident, a small smile appeared on your lips. In moments like these, you understood why you could handle the chaos of his world—because at its center was this man who turned your silence into strength and your anxiety into courage, one protective embrace at a time.

Later that evening, in the quiet comfort of Max's driver's room, the world felt more manageable. You sat cross-legged on the leather couch, mostly hidden behind a Red Bull hoodie that was two sizes too big—Max's, of course. He paced in front of you, still buzzing with post-race energy as he relived important moments from the race.

"So going into Turn 3—" Max's hands moved through the air, mimicking the racing line. "Lewis was trying for the undercut, but I knew—" He spun around, excitedly gesturing. "I knew if I could just hold the inside line…"

You watched him closely, your chin resting on your knees. This was your favorite version of Max—unfiltered, passionate, and immersed in the technical details of racing. When new team members entered the room, you instinctively shifted further behind the couch's armrest, but Max continued with his explanation.

"Hey, GP," he nodded to his race engineer before turning back to you. "So anyway, the tire degradation was crucial here—" His hands spread wide, creating invisible graphs in the air. You couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm while trying to make yourself smaller in the presence of others.

Gianpiero, aware of your shy nature, simply dropped off some data sheets and left with a friendly smile. Max moved to stand between you and the door, unconsciously protecting your space as he dove deeper into the race analysis.

"The telemetry was incredible!" He grabbed the sheets and dropped onto the couch beside you. You nestled against his side, using his shoulder as a shield despite there being no one else in the room. It was now a habit—Max as your safety barrier against the world.

He repositioned himself to shelter you better, one arm draped protectively around your shoulders while the other pointed out numbers on the sheets. "See these spikes? That's where we found extra tenths in sector two."

You nodded, following the lines with your gaze. While some of the technical jargon flew over your head, you loved watching how his face lit up while explaining it. He never seemed to mind your mostly silent responses; he recognized your quiet enthusiasm in how you leaned closer to see the details.

When Lando Norris came in to congratulate Max, you instinctively ducked behind his back, peeking out just enough to offer a tiny wave. Max smoothly shifted to block Lando's view, giving you time to adjust.

"Thanks, mate! I was just showing the tire strategy—" Max resumed his explanation, using his body as a protective barrier while you gathered your courage. By the time Lando left, you'd managed to emerge slightly from behind Max, though your fingers still clung to the back of his shirt.

"You know," Max said softly once they were alone again, finding your hand, "I love how you listen. Everyone else just nods and moves on, but you… You care about understanding everything."

You squeezed his hand in response, and he smiled, understanding your silent language perfectly. Then he jumped up to demonstrate a wheel-to-wheel battle with Leclerc, spinning an imaginary steering wheel while you watched from your corner of the couch, completely absorbed in his joy.

This was your perfect moment—Max in his element, passionate and unguarded, while you could observe and love him from the safety of the shadows, knowing he'd never push you into the spotlight you weren't ready for.

Unlocking the Secrets of Car Repair with Workshop Manuals: A Comprehensive Guide

Owning a car comes with the responsibility of maintenance and repairs. While some minor fixes can be easily handled by the car owner, more complex issues may require the expertise of a professional mechanic. However, there's a valuable resource that lies at the heart of every successful DIY car repair endeavour: the workshop repair guide. In this article, we'll explore how to effectively use workshop manuals to repair a car and unleash the potential of these comprehensive guides.

Understanding the Workshop Repair Guide

A workshop repair guide is a comprehensive manual that provides detailed instructions, illustrations, and diagrams to help diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair various components of a car. These manuals are often created by the manufacturers themselves, making them highly reliable and specific to each car model. They cover a wide range of repairs, from basic maintenance tasks like oil changes and brake pad replacements to more complex procedures like engine overhauls and transmission repairs.

Accessing Workshop Repair Guides

Gone are the days when workshop manuals were only available in printed form, stored in cluttered workshops. Today, these valuable resources are readily accessible online. Many automakers provide digital versions of their workshop manuals through official websites or authorised platforms. Additionally, automotive forums and third-party websites may offer these manuals for download or purchase. Always ensure you obtain the correct manual for your car's specific make, model, and year.

Unravelling the Contents

Workshop manuals are packed with valuable information, but they can be overwhelming at first glance. Here's how to make the most of the contents:

Table of Contents: Start by familiarising yourself with the manual's table of contents. It serves as a roadmap to find the specific repair procedures you need.

Step-by-step Procedures: Workshop manuals present repair tasks in a step-by-step format, guiding you through each process with detailed instructions. Follow the steps meticulously, ensuring you understand each action before proceeding.

Visual Aids: Take advantage of the illustrations and diagrams provided. These visual aids help you understand complex systems and pinpoint the location of various components.

Essential Tools and Safety Measures

Before diving into any repair, gather the necessary tools and safety equipment. Workshop manuals often include a list of required tools for each procedure. Ensure you have the correct tools and follow the recommended safety measures to protect yourself and prevent damage to your vehicle.

Diagnostic Assistance

Workshop repair guides are not only for when you know what needs fixing. They can also help you diagnose problems. Many manuals contain troubleshooting sections that assist in identifying the root cause of issues. Utilise these diagnostic tools to save time and effort in pinpointing the problem.

Practice Makes Perfect

Car repairs can be challenging, especially for beginners. Don't be disheartened if you encounter difficulties during your first few attempts. Practice and patience are key to becoming proficient in DIY car repairs. The more you work with workshop manuals and tinker with your vehicle, the more confidence you'll gain.

Conclusion:- Workshop repair guides are a treasure trove of automotive knowledge, empowering car owners to take charge of their vehicle's maintenance and repairs. By understanding how to use these manuals effectively, you can save money on costly mechanic visits and develop valuable skills along the way. Always approach repairs with caution, and if a task seems beyond your expertise, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Happy repairing!

10 Generations. 10 Different Heroines. 1 Legacy. Welcome to the Literary Heroine Legacy Challenge! I’ve been itching for a good legacy to revive my love for the Sims 4, and I haven’t found one so I wrote one myself.  I was inspired after reading Emma— the family dynamics, drama, and romance were everything I ever wanted in a Sims challenge. So I modernized the stories and adapted them to fit this game.  Special shoutout to Designergirl81, who I met through MissLollypopSims’ Discord! The generations of Anne of Avonlea and Dorothy were their brainchildren. 💗 I designed each generation to reference a famous literary heroine. This is a very story-oriented challenge but feel free to bend, tweak, and change as much as you can! Sims Challenges aren’t meant to limit your fun. 😉 TL;DR: Play your own way while letting these rules guide your storytelling! The official tag of the challenge is #TheLiteraryHeroineChallengeTS4. Have fun! Check out the rules here or keep reading!

Basic Rules

Play on any life span you want but I recommend playing on Normal life span.

You are encouraged to play with female heirs. Of course, this is optional!

You are discouraged from using money cheats. Some generations have stories that are related to their social class— so try to stay true to the story as much as you can.

You can live wherever you want unless the generation states otherwise.

Feel free to customize each generation’s race and sexual orientation

Unless specifically stated, each generation has to finish their aspiration and career.

Even if most of these books are classics, I wrote this with a more modern take on it. You don’t need any mods or CC to fit the eras’ aesthetics— but if you want to, you totally can!

⭐ means there’s a recommended mod for this!

☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Generation 1: Elizabeth Bennett 📚 Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to play you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart. 📚

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that all Sims 4 challenges must start with an heir. In this case, that’s you, which is surprising because everyone else in your life has decided that you are plain, especially when compared to your other two sisters. Lately though, you start to sense that you’ve been getting more attention from your neighbors. One particular Sim hasn’t been able to leave you and your family alone… and you don’t like them at all, not one bit. Well… maybe just a bit.

Aspiration: Successful Lineage 

Traits: Family Oriented, Hot-Headed, Bookworm OR choose/roll for the last trait

Career: Journalist

→ Master the Writing skill. → Live in a rundown family home passed down by your parents with two sisters until you are married. → Have a negative relationship with a neighbor. → Reject a proposal from your work boyfriend. → Build a relationship with your neighbor after you reject the proposal of your ex. → Have a scandal involving one of your sisters that your neighbor supports you through. → Fall in love and marry this neighbor then move in with him. → Have two children.

☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Generation 2: Emma Woodhouse 💗  It is very difficult for the prosperous to be humble.  💗

Growing up, you were always the sheltered one. Your father was very protective of you, and therefore never let you out of his sight. Of course, that didn’t stop you from becoming well-loved by the entire town. You were known for throwing the best dinner parties and befriending everyone your father and mother knew. Needless to say, this got to your head a bit. You weren’t arrogant, you were confident. In everyone’s eyes, you could do no wrong. Well, everyone except your childhood best friend— who was never afraid to call you out for being a bit clueless at times. 

Aspiration: Neighborhood Confidante OR Party Animal

Traits: Self-Assured, High Maintenance, Music-Lover OR choose/roll for the last trait

Career: Romance Consultant or Lawyer

→ Master the Charisma and Piano skills. → Host at least 5 gold-star dinners. → Have a childhood best friend who’s a bit older than you. For example: When you’re 17 (end of teenage years), they’re already 20 (start of young adult years). * → You can’t have good friends who are your age until your childhood best friend ages up into a young adult. → Make a new friend that you treat like a “project” until you two fall out. Choose if you two will reconcile in the future. → Profess your love to your childhood best friend during a heated argument. → Marry your best friend and live with your mother and father in your childhood home until your parents die. Have one child. *It goes without saying to only get with your childhood best friend when the two sims are both young adults 🙂 No super uncomfortable age gaps, please.

☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Generation 3: Scarlett O’Hara ✨ “Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back.” ✨ All your life, you grew up spoiled. Your mother and father were so in love, and you almost expected to have a story as romantic and easy as theirs. However, when your high school flame elopes quickly with someone else right after graduation, you start to spiral. No longer able to get things your way, you begin to self-sabotage and jump from relationship to relationship. Deep down you know you should stop and smarten up but frankly, my dear, you don’t give a damn.

Aspiration: Soulmate— you fail this

Career: None until your divorce then become a Manual Laborer + Barista

→ Don’t master any skill. → Have a high school flame who elopes with someone else. → Elope immediately with someone else. Have them die tragically.* → Marry another person quickly who you have bad compatibility with. Get negative romance with them right before they pass.* → Marry a third time. Have them catch you in a compromising moment with your high school flame, which leads to a divorce that leaves you with nothing. → End up working two part time jobs to keep your household running. → Have 4 kids with your 3 husbands (you can cheat for twins, if you want). *You decide how they die. I recommended having mods like the Healthcare Redux and Extreme Violence in your game for realistic roleplay reasons— but if he gets tragically eaten by a Cowplant that works too! 🙂

☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Generation 4: Jo March 🧾 “When the first soreness was over, she could laugh at her poor little book, yet believe in it still, and feel herself the wiser and stronger for the buffeting she had received.” 🧾 Growing up was not easy for you. Your childhood was incredibly unpredictable with your mother jumping from relationship-to-relationship. And when things started to stabilize emotionally, you ended up in poverty.  Luckily, you had your siblings to cling to, and a passion for writing that’s unmatched. You wrote a ton of things across different genres, except for romance which you didn’t quite understand. In fact, everyone always expected you to be a little woman, not rough or wild, but you knew in your heart that’s not what you were destined to become.

Despite being surrounded by family drama, you never let it dampen your spirit. You struggled with social cues and caused mayhem wherever you went— of course, that never stopped you from making your voice heard. You were, afterall, raised by someone who was never afraid to make a point. However, unlike your aunt, you always longed for romance. You always imagined big declarations of passion— but perhaps it’s time to learn that love creeps to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways.

Because of this, you gained a bunch of friends who loved you very deeply.

Generation 7: Dorothy Gale 🐶 “If we walk far enough, we shall sometime come to someplace.”  🐶 Growing up you knew that there was more to the world than what was outside your own backdoor.  Afterall, your mother was a famous detective— if she went on her own adventures, why can’t you?

With her and your father’s support, you spend your young adult life traveling. You made some great friends along the way (and even some loves), but eventually you start to wonder if there is no place like home.

Generation 8: Wendy Darling 🌟 “She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth. ”  🌟 You grew up waiting. First, for your father’s seasonal visits… which eventually stops when you become a teenager. Next, for the opportunity to leave Henford-on-Bagley to pursue your dreams of becoming an actress. And finally, for your first love, a man who refused to propose to you, no matter how long you waited for him to. Eventually you grew tired waiting and decided to grow up. You married a sensible man, had a child, and gave up your dreams of becoming an actress. Still, you held on to the dreams of your first love and end up reconnecting in a night of passion that leaves you pregnant with his child. Realizing that he’ll never grow up, you decide to dedicate your life to your family and husband.

Generation 9: Alice Liddell  🐰 “It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.”  🐰

There were times you felt like you never truly belonged anywhere. While everyone at home lived and abided by your parents’ rules, your head was always in the clouds. Sensibilities and propriety were never in your vocabulary, much to the disdain of your father and the rest of your siblings. Still, you were a free spirit that could never be controlled. After moving out as a young adult, you fell in love with cooking and mixology. You also met a group of misfits who were as different as you. Every Sunday, you’d host special “tea” parties with them, that broadened your worldview and made you realize that the world gets curiouser and curiouser with each passing day.

☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Generation 10: Countess Ellen Olenska  🎨 “The real loneliness is living among all these people who only ask one to pretend.”  🎨

You appreciated your mother’s lifestyle. You saw the world for what it could become, and not what everyone wanted it to be. However, you worried about your younger sister. You saw her innocence and wanted to protect it. When you turned into a young adult, you moved away and took your sister with you to start anew. However, life was not always easy. Straight out of teenhood, you married someone from a different city and had a tumultuous relationship with him. You separate with him and continue to care for your sister. You’re able to provide for her through your paintings, which also brought you a lot of fame. When she grew up into a Young Adult, she formed an attachment with a man that… intrigued you. She married him. This kept him in your life, but made it difficult for you to ignore your feelings. One night, you find yourself alone together, and you must make a choice: stay with him and break your sister's heart, or leave forever to give them peace. You have a price to pay either way— we can't behave like people in novels without consequence, can we?

Name your child after them. → If you end the emotional affair - Move away from your love and get back together with your ex-husband. Die without having your own children.

2 World Shall Know

Summary: Torn between the only family she has left and the boys she chose to take care of. Will she able to choose a side?

|-Reader(Y/N) is Female, using the pronouns her/she|

|-Not proofread(who does that)|

Y/N, a rising K-Pop star with a voice that could soothe demons and a stage presence that commanded attention, wasn't who she seemed. Born centuries ago, the daughter of a powerful sorceress—a close friend of the Demon King Gwi-Ma—Y/N was, herself, a demon. Gwi-Ma, charmed by her youthful spirit and undeniable talent, had taken her under his wing, showering her with affection and guidance, a rare display of paternal warmth from the usually ruthless ruler. Their bond was a strange mix of familial love and strategic alliance—Gwi-Ma saw Y/N's potential to bridge the gap between the demon and human worlds.

One day, Gwi-Ma summoned Y/N to his obsidian throne room. The air crackled with dark energy, yet the atmosphere felt surprisingly…cozy. Gwi-Ma, usually shrouded in an aura of terrifying power, was surprisingly gentle as he handed her a delicately carved wooden comb.

"My dear Y/N," he rumbled, his voice surprisingly soft, "your hair has grown so long. I thought this might help."

Y/N, touched by the gesture, accepted the comb with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Grandfather," she replied, using the term of endearment she'd adopted over the centuries. She knew this was more than just a gift; it was a reminder of their unique bond.

Gwi-Ma chuckled, a low rumble that shook the very foundations of his throne room. "You've grown into a remarkable young woman," he said, his eyes twinkling with pride. "Your music…it resonates with both demons and humans. A powerful tool indeed."

He then revealed his plan: the Saja Boys, a boy band of ambitious young demons, were preparing to infiltrate the human world, aiming to weaken the Hon Moon and drain human souls to increase Gwi-Ma's power. Y/N's role? To guide them, to help them navigate the complexities of the human world, and, most importantly, to gain them a massive human following. Her music, her understanding of human culture, would be their key to success.

And so, Y/N, the seemingly innocent K-Pop idol, became the Saja Boys' secret weapon. She helped them craft their image, refine their music, and even coached them on appropriate human social interactions—a task that proved more challenging than anticipated. She used her influence to secure them lucrative deals, prime stage appearances, and strategic collaborations, rapidly propelling them to international stardom.

However, as the Saja Boys gained popularity, Y/N began to notice a shift in their behavior. Their initial ambition morphed into something darker, a hunger for power that echoed Gwi-Ma's own desires. She saw the subtle ways they manipulated their fans, the callous disregard for the consequences of their actions. The line between helping them succeed and preventing a catastrophic invasion blurred.

Torn between her loyalty to Gwi-Ma and her growing unease with the Saja Boys' actions, Y/N found herself in a precarious position. She knew she had to act, but how could she betray her grandfather, the only family she'd ever known? And how could she stop the Saja Boys without revealing her true identity? The future hung precariously in the balance, a delicate dance between loyalty, ambition, and the fate of two worlds. Her next move would determine the outcome of the conflict, and the fate of both the human and demon realms.

|Should I make another part of this?|

͙͘͡★┊Leo jupiter’s (sidereal) are some of the most talented people you’ll meet. They are natural entertainers and attract an abundance of attention easily. This placement can indicate getting random lucky opportunities involving fame or being in the spotlight too. Like being spotted for modeling, acting, etc.

͙͘͡★┊People born during the saturn in cancer (western) time period are some of the shyest people that I’ve met. They’re huge homebodies too and love to isolate themselves a lot from others. Especially when their saturn is in the 4th house.

͙͘͡★┊Venus in the 9th house is such an underrated beauty in my opinion. I find the beauty in all venus placements but with the 9th house involving things that come with ease and it being the house of abundance these people tend to have an effortless beauty and get a lot of compliments on their looks. I’ve noticed they look really good without even wearing any makeup too.

͙͘͡★┊I’ve read before that ancient astrologers used to say that virgo was ruled by chiron rather than mercury. I’m not sure how I feel about it since chiron isn’t a planet but it makes since with chiron having to do with the wounded healing others and virgo’s tend to be very wounded people that when evolved always do lots for others. It’s just interesting to think about although I think mercury also aligns with virgo really well.

͙͘͡★┊If your guiding planet is mercury you may be more interested in intelligent people romantically. It can also mean you yourself are very smart and witty. I may make a post on guiding planets in the future that’s more in depth.

͙͘͡★┊There’s certain aspects that can’t physically occur and are known as “impossible aspects”. I still see people writing about them on tumblr and tiktok completely unaware the aspect isn’t in anyone’s natal charts. You can read more about this in my free beginners guide.

↳ Example: Sun trine venus

͙͘͡★┊Sirius is a fixed star related to our purpose, fate, wealth, and success. People who have it aspecting their sun, venus, or jupiter often experience extreme wealth at some point in their life.

Your First Impression of Your Person

Pile 1 - Pile 2 - Pile 3

Remember, this is a general reading and it may not resonate for everyone or completely. Tarot is a tool to help guide but you are responsible for your actions and life, you choose your path.

I was leaning more towards a romantic partner that you are going to end up with that will have a significant place in your life but take it as it resonates for you.

Tips!

|Pile 1

Tarot: Eight of Swords (horizontal), Death, The High Priestess, Seven of Pentacles, Ten of Cups (horizontal), Page of Cups, Four of Pentacles, The Star (reversed), The Fool

Oracle: The Ladybug and Sweet Pea (happiness), The Chipmunk and Laurel (success), The Otter and Cattail (peace)

This person is someone that your soul has been letting you know was coming with certain signs or messages. And this could be someone you wished for, but there is a strong sense that this person was just meant to come into your life. It’s like you wished for this person and didn’t know that they were gonna come in whether you wished for them or not. I believe fate and freewill coincide together and this is one of those grey areas. 

Your person comes in either when a new chapter starts for you or this person comes in and triggers it. Whichever this new chapter is happening, there is a feeling of uncertainty and pessimistic caution - as if trust had been bruised. You almost feel like a wolf backed into a corner and someone is encroaching on your space and you’re trying to decide if they are safe or if you need to bite your way out of a situation. I don’t know if the new chapter has left you feeling a little vulnerable or if you did your little spells (writing down your persons characteristics, a letter from their POV of you, or moodboards), but it took longer than you expected so you developed a resentment of some kind. You’re skeptical of them. It’s like a “oh, now you decide to show up when I don’t want you anymore.” But you know that you still do but your own expectations have hurt you. Your person has done nothing to you.

In fact, you decide to give them a singular cup with caution to see if they can fill it because you still want them. You’re treading lightly and they realize this. They genuinely want to offer you ten full cups and you realize that quickly with how much they bring to the table. They do bring you a lot of happiness and peace, which their entrance into your life probably wasn’t anything grand. Their peaceful stroll into your life probably made you skeptical as well as angry. “But they are what you need(ed).” You probably expected something dramatic because of past people or situations and when you didn’t get that from your person, it felt unsafe. You may have some doubts and think “this wasn’t what I wished for.” But it was, deep down it was. And your wishes were a success.

I think you will be very emotional after dropping the wall finally. I think they will do something that will show you that they love you early on and it will make your walls instantly fall. There’s a feeling of guilt for being so resentful and angry towards your person and you may not know how to forgive yourself. But just know, your person says that you have nothing to be sorry for. There could be a moment when you decide to tell them this and your tears will be dried by them.

|Pile 2

Tarot: The Hierophant, The Hanged Man, Nine of Pentacles, Nine of Swords, The Empress, Ace of Wands, The Lovers, Four of Wands, The Star

Oracle:  The Eel and Iris (safety), The Boar and Pumpkin (confidence), The Snake and Fern (starting over), The Skunk and Magnolia (protection)

Before I pull the cards, I ended up shuffling face up for a moment. Your person may show you all their cards upfront so you know what they want, their boundaries, and their feelings towards you. There isn’t any pussy-footing around feelings and playing games. They are too grown for that and they take love and relationships very seriously. I had to go back and pull an oracle card I say while resetting the deck and it was The Eel and Iris card which represents safety in this deck. There are two messages here. They will leave if they don’t think you are safe. They are slimy in the way of being able to get away if you start to play with their heart, not that they are a player and wiggle in and out of your life. Absolutely not. And they offer you and your heart a lot of safety by presenting all their cards to you right away. They don’t play games. If it’s important, Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls could hold significance.  - Just from getting all these messages without pulling any cards, or just from this one oracle card, I have a very strong feeling about this message. They get to business in a very determined and sure-footed way. They are dependable.

Now that I pulled the cards, my top messages are correct. You will find their confidence very attractive because it doesn’t come off in a cocky way. Their confidence comes off just in a sure and stable way. They made it very clear to you that they find you “absolutely breathtaking” as soon as they got to talk to you (and in the same moment, they ask you on a date and your NUMBER, not your social media.) I think they will also be very attractive and not someone you expect to be attracted to you. They are very successful -  everything else in their life is in line but they don’t have a lover. They are very picky so you should feel lucky they chose you. They are looking for commitment, something serious. For some this could be marriage but if you don’t like that idea, make that clear right away because they will like how you’re sure of your wants. They will respect it, especially if you make it abundantly clear that you want something committed and long term outside of legal bindings. 

There is a lot of sexual tension in this pile. And there is a very wealthy energy coming off the both of you, especially with how formal I felt writing this. It was like I was writing a contract. 

I think that they will also let you know pretty early on that this could be a start over for them and they are giving love one more try before giving up. Maybe they could’ve given up before hand but you two got sexually involved and it led to them giving the both of you a shot. With them laying their cards on the table and you laying down yours, it creates a very stable foundation for the both of you to grow off of. This feels like a very mature energy, maybe 30s? There is a feeling of creating some sort of foundation for yourself, even it you could just be starting your foundation then.

|Pile 3

Tarot: Three of Swords, The Hierophant, Ace of Wands, Judgement, Knight of Wands, Queen of Cups, The Hermit, Nine of Cups, Temperance, Strength

Oracle: The Wolf and Rose Hip (guardianship), The Vulture and Asphodel (upheaval), The Sheep and Blackberry (devotion)

The Three of Swords instantly jumped out when I started shuffling. And before I started, the knight of cups was at the bottom…I believe your person wanted to bring your own heartbreak to light first and foremost. I don’t believe this card is part of your impression of them. This feels like a combination of their opinion of you combined with what you think of them. There’s a deep feeling of heartbreak from you but I don’t think you’ve given up on love, you really just want to finally meet the person you’ll spend your life with. The love of your life. This pile isn’t for someone seeking something temporary.

Pile 3, your person is the love of your life. They truly love you and I think that is why they wanted me to talk about you first. They come in very protectively, a wolf guarding their sheep. It’s not that you’re fragile but they have a good understanding that you are sensitive and a soft soul, which brings out their protective side. I think you welcome it because there is a feeling of instant safety you get from this person, like finally finding shelter to stand under while the rain clouds clear up. They instantly light up the passion you had for love again because they come in with the same passion, which isn’t inherently sexual either. This passion comes from a place of safety and comfort from each other, it’s like finally experiencing a love that isn’t so intense. Puppy love…maybe love that is usually experienced when you’re younger. There is a sense of them bringing back light-hearted fun, that love doesn’t have to be so taxing on your soul (and it shouldn’t be). 

There is a message of, “your patience will be rewarded.” 

They see you as an angel, pile 3. And they are merely your knight and they offer you so much devotion. I know this should be your first impression of them but I think you see this practically right away. “Light dawns on marble head.” They bring you out of the hermit phase and show you that they have all nine cups and you only need to bring your one cup so you can have the Ten of Cups together. They don’t expect anything other than your presence, you just have to show up and give them love. That’s all they expect from you and I think that comes as a surprise to you because people had expected so much of you and stripped you of it all so you were left empty. It probably took you a long time to fill your own cup again. They bring new and wanted change even though it may come with some uncomfortability from your end.

— BEFORE DEBUT

➩ INTRO… 📼(when almost everyone in dream academy had sophia in their lineup… and then there’s yn)

yn tilted her head in thought, tapping her fingers against her chin as if solving a world shattering puzzle. “okay, definitely lara,” she began confidently, nodding as if solidifying her decision. “then daniela... megan... lexie…” she paused, a sheepish laugh escaping her lips. “wait, am I just naming all the powerhouses right now?” (the audacity bffr yn.)

“nayoung, for sure… uh…” she trailed off, her brow furrowing before she suddenly snapped her fingers, her face lighting up. “oh! and manon. my girl, obviously.”

➩ INTRO… 2 📼(the infamous “maybe you’re just early every time”)

sophia and yn are standing side by side during practice, reviewing choreography. Sophia’s expression is calm but clearly exasperated. “yn, you’re late on the turn every time,” she says, her voice cutting but controlled.

yn nodded her head and turned around to get back in position before muttering “maybe you’re just early every time,” as quietly as possible but camera still picked up on it.

➩ INTRO… 3 📼(yn leaving sophia on read)

[screenshot of a group chat shared during a pop star academy episode ]

lara: hey guys, can we finalize vocals by tonight?

yn: yup!

sophia: sure, I just sent the arrangement notes to yn. yn let me know if it works.

lara: yn?

➩ INTRO… 3 📼(when they both showed up late…)

everyone was warming up when sophia walked in first, looking frazzled. moments later, yn strolled in casually, earning a sharp glare from Sophia.

“you’re late,” sophia pointed out.

“so are you,” yn countered, raising an eyebrow.

— AFTER DEBUT

➩ CLIP #1 PLAYING… 📼 (sophia and yn during rehearsal 🤭)

the camera zooms in as the members are stretching and warming up for their upcoming choreography session.

in the background, yn and sophia are standing close by, both practicing their formations.

yn reaches up to adjust her hair, and in that moment, her hand brushes against sophia’s. at first, sophia pulls back sharply, her gaze flicking towards yn with a flicker of surprise. but yn doesn’t make a big deal of it, instead casually continuing to adjust her position.

sophia hesitates for a moment, then subtly places her hand back on yn’s lower back to guide her into position.

➩ CLIP #2 PLAYING… 📼 (when sophia looked for yn after their first show)

the clip cuts to backstage where the members are all celebrating their first successful performance. Sophia walks past the members of the group, clearly scanning the area.

“has anyone seen yn?” she asks, her tone just a little softer than usual.

lara and daniela exchange a glance before lara shrugs. “she was just with megan, I think. why?”

sophia shrugs before she walks off in the direction they pointed. the camera follows her for a moment, and as she turns the corner, she finds yn sitting quietly, already taking off her stage makeup.

“hey,” Sophia says, her voice softer now. yn looks up, surprised but not annoyed.

“you okay?” Sophia asks again, sitting down beside her.

yn nods slowly, her eyes meeting sophia’s “yeah I’m just tired.” she mumbled before looking at the camera, “I can’t wait to nap in the car.” she says to it.

sophia watches her for a moment, “okay well, hurry up so you can sleep.”

➩ CLIP #3 PLAYING… 📼 (when yn got sophia extremely flustered)

the camera stilled on katseye as the girls stood together at a festival, watching the performance unfolding in front of them. the energy was electric, but yn’s attention shifted slightly to sophia, who was sitting beside her, intently watching the stage.

yn leaned in, her lips dangerously close to sophia ear as she whispered something. sophia barely registered at first, distracted by the booming music around them. she turned her head slightly, her face now directly in line with yn’s, and was startled at how close yn’s face had gotten.

sophia flinched back, her cheeks instantly flushing, and covered her face with her hand, the camera couldn’t pick up on what sophia was saying but they could tell she definitely said something along the lines of “what the hell, yn?” 

yn, laughing softly, leaned her head onto sophia’s shoulder, her cheek brushing against it as she continued to chuckle at the flustered girl beside her.

➩ CLIP #4 PLAYING… 📼 (no words just this moment)

after a performance, the girls were walking out of the venue, chatting and laughing as they made their way to the van. sophia casually draped her arm around yn’s shoulder, she looked at yn and whispered something.

before yn could respond, megan suddenly pulled her away, waving enthusiastically at a fan and dragged her towards the van.

rodrick bf headcanons fem/gen reader pls? 💗🤗

this is a part of what I think Rodrick would be like, hope you liked and enjoyed it!

there is no doubt he ALWAYS invites you to his gigs and band rehearsals

As the band Löaded diper started playing, Rodrick's eyes kept drifting towards you. Every time he looked at you, he couldn't help but smile, his focus wavering. He tried to keep up with the beat, but his mind was clearly elsewhere.

"Rodrick, dude, focus!" one of his bandmates called out, snapping him back to reality.

He chuckled and nodded, trying to concentrate, but it was no use. Your presence was too distracting, and every time he glanced your way, his heart skipped a beat. You couldn't help but blush, knowing you were the reason for his distraction.

During a break, Rodrick came over to you, shaking his head with a grin. "You're killing me here" he teased, his eyes filled with affection.

You laughed, playfully nudging him "I'm just here to support you". "Well, you're doing a great job" he said, leaning in for a quick kiss "Maybe a little too good".

when you both can't sleep (or just out of boredom), he would take you to have late-night drives

The city lights blurred past as you cruised through the streets, the windows rolled down and the cool night air filling the van. He played a mixtape he made just for these drives, the music perfectly capturing the mood.

As he drove, Rodrick took you to a secret spot he had discovered—a hill overlooking the city, where the lights twinkled like stars. He parked the van and you both got out, sitting on the hood and enjoying the breathtaking view.

"This is our little hideaway" he said, taking your hand "Just you and me" you completed his sentence while you smiled.

Rodrick wrapped his arm around you, and you leaned into him, the music still playing in the background while you both looked into the mesmerizing view ahead of you.

I feel like sometimes you both would prank greg

One afternoon, you both decided to play a classic prank on Greg: the old "fake spider in the bed" trick.

You and Rodrick carefully placed a realistic-looking spider under Greg's blanket, making sure it was positioned just right. Then, you both hid around the corner, waiting for Greg to come into his room.

When Greg finally walked in and pulled back his blanket, he let out a loud scream, jumping back in fright. You and Rodrick burst into laughter, high-fiving each other for the successful prank.

Greg quickly realized it was a fake spider and glared at both of you. "Very funny, guys" he muttered in a sarcastic tone while rolling his eyes.

he would 100% teach you how to play drums

"Okay, let's start with the basics" he said, handing you the drumsticks, he sat on the stool and he positioned you on his lap.

Rodrick's arms guided yours as he showed you the proper way to hold the sticks. "It's all about the rhythm. Just feel the beat" he explained, tapping a simple pattern on the snare drum.

You tried to follow his lead, your movements awkward at first. But with his patient guidance and encouragement, you started to get the hang of it. "That's it! You're doing great" he said, a proud smile on his face.

The garage was soon filled with the sound of your combined laughs, and the sense of accomplishment you felt was indescribable.

when you have a sleepover, you would definitely make marathons of horror films or comedies

One rainy Saturday, you decided to have an all-day movie marathon. Rodrick had a stack of DVDs ready, and you both created a cozy nest of blankets and pillows in the living room. As the first movie started, Rodrick pulled you close, his arm around your shoulders.

Halfway through the night, a particularly scary scene made you jump, and you buried your face in Rodrick's shoulder. He laughed softly, wrapping his arms around her tighter "Don't worry, I've got you" he reassured.

Between movies, you'd debate which one was the scariest or funniest, sharing your favorite scenes and inside jokes.

By the end of the night, you were both sleepy but happy, the warmth of your time together lingering long after the credits rolled.

he has no problem on letting you use his löaded diper shirts, but I feel like he would make one shirt specially for you

Rodrick was incredibly proud of his band, Löded Diper, and he loved seeing you in their merch. One day, he surprised you with a special gift: a custom band T-shirt. The front had the band's logo, but it was the back that made you smile the most—it boldly read "Drummer's GF".

"You like it?" he asked, a hopeful look in his eyes.

You grinned and nodded "I love it! It’s perfect".

Every time you wore the shirt, Rodrick's face would light up with pride. He'd often brag to his bandmates about his amazing girlfriend who supported him wholeheartedly.

despite his though side, he has a soft spot for you, which causes him to be protective over you

One evening, you both decided to go to a local concert. The venue was packed, and the crowd was getting rowdy.

You felt a bit overwhelmed by the pushing and shoving, and Rodrick immediately noticed. Without a second thought, he wrapped his arm around you, pulling you close to his side.

"Stay close to me" he whispered in your ear. He navigated through the crowd, making sure you were safe and comfortable.

Throughout the night, he kept a watchful eye on you, ensuring that no one got too close or made you uncomfortable.

he would definitely make you a mixtape with songs that reminded him of you, and you listen to it together in his van while he explains why that song (or which part) made him think of you

You were parked in Rodrick's van, the low hum of the engine barely audible over the mixtape he'd made for you. The song "Think About You" by Guns N' Roses started to play, and Rodrick turned to you with a soft smile.

"Listen to this" he said, his eyes meeting yours "these lyrics made me think of you".

As the song played, he explained "It's the way the song talks about always having you on my mind. Whenever I'm not with you, I miss you... God that was just so corny" he muffled with a chuckle while looking down.

But he lifted his gaze and saw you blushing, feeling your heart swell with emotion. Rodrick's hand found yours, and you sat in comfortable silence, letting the music speak for the both of you.

you would help him with homework and have study sessions together (but you always end up making out instead)

Books and notes were spread out on Rodrick's bed, ready for today's session, but it didn't took long for distractions to take over.

As you leaned in to explain a math problem, Rodrick's lips found yours in a quick kiss, and then another, and another one after that, until you find yourself making out with him instead of studying.

"C'mon, Rod, we have to study" you murmured between kisses, trying to stay focused.

"One more, and then we'll study" he promised, but his lips met yours again, and you couldn't help but kiss him back.

Your kisses grew more frequent, each one stealing your breath away. You kept trying to remind him of your homework, but his persistence made you lose track of time.

Each kiss pulled you deeper into the moment, and soon enough, the textbooks were forgotten as you got lost in each other.
