#HE'S SO. SMART. INTELLIGENT. A LEADER AT HEART. AN ARTIST.

[paragonrobits]

so today's writing hot take... well, not so much a hot take, but more of an observation:

while the idea of the Five Man Band (The Hero, the Foil, The Powerhouse, The Solution Person and the Heart) is a very solid idea for characterization and can go a long way to figuring characters out, in practice its usually better to just organically write characters and let them go wherever they want, and not to fight it whne it goes gainst your original vision.

A long time ago I was regularly writing a fanfic; over time the core cast expanded, and I had a group of characters.

They were the hot-headed and impulsive alien, a smart kid with a ton of alchemically-powered magitech devices, a highly skilled spiritual martial artist tiger-person, and a talking skull initially meant as comic relief. Soon the alien had a friend join; a fire-manipulating fighter who joined on behalf of the alien's larger friend group to keep him out of trouble and try to find a way to his original homeworld.

The set up was simple; the alien would be the leader, the kid the problem-solver, the tiger the powerhouse, the skull a comedic Heart, and the new guy's original role was not defined, but he was going to be a bit more thoughtful.

Things rapidly changed on me though, through natural characterization and shifts in dynamic. The alien remained the hero, as he was the main character.

But the kid soon became less of a solution guy; he wound up being a first rate blaster, eagerly blowing stuff up and using his powers in unexpected and intelligent ways, always the first to throw a punch except it was usually a gigantic fire ball while he made an ice slide zooming around enemies. The small, intelligent and apparently frail kid wound up being the reliable powerhouse; prone to argue, but always a trustworthy asset.

The tiger was powerful and strong, but while I initially intended to give him an arc about being prideful or arrogant, he wound up remaining a very level-headed and soft spoken figure. Whenever he fought he usually ended the fight pretty fast, but in general he was a stable present that encouraged the others and gave them advice. He was the Heart.

The skull was never meant to be a main character; he was actually supposed to take the role of Jiminy Cricket (the story initially being a reskin of Kingdom Hearts), giving exposition and thoughts on the worlds they visited. However, due to the character implicitly being extremely old, he wound up being deeply genre savvy because he was SO OLD, and had been part of so many adventures, he'd figured out the general patterns things tended to take, and was a lot smarter than his cocky demeanor let on, and he wound up being the Smart Guy; giving them advice, warning them about consequences, and proposing different ways to handle situation.

The fire guy wound up accidentally developing into the big brother and experienced, more competent character that he sometimes was mischaracterized by modern fandom (though i feel better about it because this was explicitly the result of long-term character development). While he and the alien lead had similar powers, it was because the alien SPECIFICALLY gained those powers through friendship with fire guy, and as time went on, the fire guy (while also a bad-tempered hothead with a tendency to just run at things) was a more moderate person, constantly keeping the alien guy on his toes, less aggressive than him and calmer by comparison, winning fights through superior experience and skill instead of his alien friend's manic aggressiveness, unpredictable attacks, and downright demented personality. He was the Foil/Lancer.

It would have been a lot harder to keep them in their original roles, so i didn't; by letting the organic development continue, it became a lot better than my original intentions, so my advice is to let it happen when you notice it.

Car, 💯 and ❤️ hueheuheue for berries and Aman

Ask meme is here

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

Pecha

- Yes she has a car liscense, but she hardly uses it since the subway system goes everywhere in Unova.

Rawst

- No, he doesn’t need one since he lives in Unova. Also driving makes him anxious.

Aman

- Legally? No. Forged by Interpol Intelligence? Yes. He has one for every region for whatever machinery he needs for his jobs.

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

Aman is answered here

Pecha

- She likes high waist stuff because she’s insecure about her stomach area. Partially because she’s chubby in that area, but mostly because she has pretty decent scarring there from a corviknight’s talons.

- Her middle name is Dynastinae, the scientific family name for rhinoceros beetles. Calhoun actually wanted this to be her first name but changed it when he heard his mother-in-law’s family tradition of naming babies after berries, so he chose Pecha instead. (If it was Dynastinae, then he would have nicknamed her Dee Dee or Diane)

- Her close friends that aren’t other people’s ocs are Elesa, who she met through the fashion industry, and Burgh, whom she had a rivalry turned friendship with after she got over the fact that she didn’t get the bug type gym leader job. (Yet she still gets after Burgh for not using Galvantulas)

Rawst

- Rawst’s middle name is Cicadinae, for the subfamily of cicadas. Unlike Pecha, though, Rawst’s name first name was always meant to be Rawst.

- Rawst was born premature and had a lot of close calls with death during the time he was in the hospital as a baby. Cal, his dad, has always subconsciously babied Rawst because of this. (Also this might be the reason why he attracts ghosts)

- His fan community is similarly chill and laid back as he is. Rawst didn’t consciously try to make his community a kind place, but his vibes and intolerance for idiocy as made it a welcoming place.

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?

Pecha is answered here

Rawst

- Calm to almost a fault. He doesn’t react in a big way to anything, which makes him a nice friend to be around if you hate over dramatic people. Also it’s funny to watch him react to scary stuff with a blank face.

- Kind. Rawst will drop everything to help someone close to him. He’s the one that helped Pecha a lot during her slump she had a couple years back by letting her stay at his apartment and funding her business to get it started.

- Creative. Need an artist’s point of view? Rawst is pretty good at coming up with ideas that others wouldn’t think of when it comes to projects. He does collabs with other creators often because of this.

Aman

- Brave. He’s unafraid to put his life on the line when it’s for a friend or for the greater good.

- Intelligent. Since he’s been a child, he’s been incredibly smart in both books and street smarts. It’s basically what got him his job at Interpol.

- Loyal. You’ll never find a more loyal partner or friend that in Aman. He might tease the crud out of his loved ones, but he’ll beat up anyone who speaks ill of family or friends.

ok intro post so i can pin something

this is an oc blog dedicated to a wip i’ve had for about four years now, and is really special to me :) idris is the name of the country which the story takes place in, but the wip is otherwise untitled

a list of character names in case you’re thinking of sending me an ask, linked to their informational oc tags (please please please send asks, ask games reblogged are always open):

brinne

adrian

rowen

evander

grace

lennox

zuri

nesrin

alya

zephyr

nova

kori

natal

vanta

and onto the descriptions…

some basic worldbuilding: the country of idris is an oppressive monarchical regime, set in a time about technologically equivalent to the mid-1800s. the universe exists on the same earth we live on, but is organized into entirely different countries than ours. idris exists on swedish, norweigan, finnish, and some russian territory. it is mainly governed by the alistair family monarch, the kaldaver family high priest, and seven other noble families. the vast majority of idris is fiercely loyal to the country’s polytheistic religion of halcyonism.

brief (enough) character descriptions

brinne alistair - twenty two years old, ruling monarch of idris. grew up resentful of the monarchy and its oppression, but after a traumatic rebel attack that came to be known as “artemis’s massacre,” she became so obsessive over her own safety that she couldn’t bring herself to care about the good of the people anymore. generally a cold and unstable individual who should not be trifled with, but she has incredibly nuanced feelings and beliefs inside. an artist at heart. prone to fits of mania and depression. betrothed to kori for political purposes, but has been adrian’s forbidden lover for years.

adrian kaldaver - twenty two years old, high priest of idris. resident poor little meow meow. knows a lot about halcyonism, but deeply insecure about his place in it and where he really belongs. complete wet noodle of a man who has net negative spine, but tries his best to do the right thing anyway. he has no direction and is manipulated very easily. actually smart, but his lack of confidence prevents him from being truly intelligent. getting involved with brinne at a young age greatly changed his perspective, and he would do virtually anything for her sake. not a virgin and he’s still freaking out about it after six years. betrothed to zuri.

rowen zeysra - twenty five years old, co-leader of idris’s underground rebellion. she goes by the alias “artemis” among revolutionaries, and only a very select few know her real name. extremely passionate about the cause, but can be callous and reckless. gets much more credit for the rebellion than evander, her brother and co-leader. the name artemis is feared throughout idris after her revolution’s massacre in the royal palace five years ago. trained knife-fighter, and very much a product of her environment. she’s gentle with the innocent, but reveals a sadistic streak from time to time. crushing on grace.

evander zeysra - twenty seven years old, co-leader of the rebellion, and rowen’s brother. goes by “apollo” among revolutionaries (see what i did there). not as famous as rowen, but acts as the architect of operation planning. an extremely level-headed and focused person. kind, too, although sometimes he worries he shows it too much. he serves as a major source of balance within the revolution. he’s the kind of crafty that’s perfect for a ren fair. wants a lot out of life and is okay taking his time to get there, so long as it gets done. great with his hands, but not in the way you’re thinking, perv. he’s aroace.

grace odessa - twenty two years old, firstborn noble of idris’s house of education. wholly aware that most of her job is maintaining state propaganda. secretly joined the rebellion after artemis’s massacre and natal’s death*. a tough person through and through, and an intellectual until the end. deeply idealistic, despite her skeptical personality. she’s much more scarred than she lets on, and has a very high tolerance for pain. hates lennox in particular. previously betrothed to natal, now betrothed to another noble. crushing on rowen.

lennox warryn - twenty two years old, firstborn noble of idris’s house of criminal justice. endlessly calculating and manipulative, a manspreader and a mansplainer. the entire noble court looks up to him--even those who dislike him for one reason or another. there are layers under his mask. he genuinely loathes both brinne and adrian for their political incompetence, and underhandedly assumes the position of regent when brinne goes through depressive episodes. he could crack at any moment from the amount of pressure he puts on himself, but he won’t. betrothed to nesrin.

zurielle (zuri) tessing - twenty years old years old, secondborn noble of idris’s house of agriculture. sweet and hard-working. one of the few nobles immune to the court’s cutthroat politics. head over heels in love with adrian, and is convinced there’s something wrong with her because of his lack of interest. no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to get close to much of anyone. a little desperate for attention at this point. betrothed to adrian.

nesrin theoris - twenty years old, secondborn noble of idris’s house of military forces. she’s serious, and sometimes harsh, but overall she acts in good faith. she isn’t especially powerful within noble court, but she uses her connections extremely wisely. an expert at accomplishing what needs to be done (unlike many of her peers). she dislikes social niceties, and will tell you what she thinks regardless of if you want to hear it. weird girl at heart with nowhere to show it. has a thing for lennox’s sister. betrothed to lennox.

alya volkotya - sixteen years old, refugee from the neighboring country of zaseov. fled to idris after her parents died from malnutrition and her older sister was killed in gang violence. she first despised idris for its religious oppression, and after being taken in by the revolution, has come to hate the country for nearly everything else as well. she’s gentle in appearance and nature, but won’t hesitate to resort to hostility when her wrath is earned. a good hunter and avid music lover. very cottagecore in general. dating zephyr.

zephyr siles - fifteen years old, ex-soldier of idris. grew up in the squalid slums of idris with no father and a neglectful mother. somehow maintained an attitude of unadulterated optimism throughout his childhood and enlisted in the military at thirteen years old, hoping to make something of his life. he had a mentor in the military who meant everything to him, but was discharged after he snuck into an armory and accidentally caused an explosion that rendered him half-blind. found the revolution while wandering on the streets looking for shelter days later. still desires only to be useful and fulfilled. dating alya.

finnovamina “nova” twyvek - twenty one years old, the heir to idris’s biggest press company. hates his family, hates the monarchy, hates idris’s religion. he’s really just a little hater boy. very interested in medical sciences, but has never had the opportunity to explore it. sometimes gets a little morbid in his curiosity. extremely socially awkward, but voracious for knowledge and what people have to offer by way of it. dresses like he has five bucks and a gum wrapper to his name, much to his parents’ chagrin. wears a signature scarf. joined the revolution because he believes in justice and also because he craves being a hater.

koriandarius “kori” twyvek - seventeen years old, pure golden child of his family. he’s friendly to all seven of his siblings, but feels the tension between himself and nova. not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but remarkably earnest. loves putting smiles on other peoples’ faces. craves approval and success. ecstatic to be marrying the monarch, both for his personal sake and for his family’s name. new to halcyon's castle at the beginning of the story, and acclimating to the brutal politics and interpersonal dynamics. betrothed to brinne.

vantamarial “vanta” twyvek - fifteen years old, fourth child to the twyvek dynasty. a generally emotionless, bitchy teenager who happens to be extremely devout to halcyonism. centers his life around worship and prayer because he has no inner life to propel him. his feelings of connection toward his family are only out of cultural/religious default, and he knows virtually no one outside his relatives and family friends. aspires to be a halcyonist priest one day, and is encouraged by everyone around him because they know he’s too bland to find other passions.

*natal maravei - dead, executed at sixteen. haunts the narrative a little. used to be grace’s fiancé from idris’s noble house of diplomacy. following artemis’s massacre, he tried to find the rebellion and join it, but was caught in the process and executed by brinne. a little shit when he was alive, but was always intellectually savvy and charming. daring to a fault, and was deeply convinced that he was destined for greatness. unlikely friend to lennox (lennox definitely did not have a big gay crush on him). his death serves as a symbol of brinne’s onset paranoia following artemis’s massacre, although different nobles believe different things as to whether her paranoia is truly justified or not.

here’s a link to my uquiz to find out which one of these guys you’re most like!!!

i have a fun little modern au where they all exist chilling in la as struggling slice of life adults :) i occasionally tag for it, but don't really talk about it. hmu if you're interested. honestly i just dick around with my little guys here and everyone is along for the ride.

F1 drivers as types of students

Kimi Räikkönen-the sleepy one

Classes at 9am or 3pm; these kinds of students are found with their eyes sagging or in deep sleep when the class is still on. Either they had too much beer or they had too much beer.

Antonio Giovinazzi- overactive

He always has a question to ask and comment to make. He joined a book, science, math, chess, debate, or glee club.

Pierre Gasly- the intelligent friend

He never lets you down, if you somehow forgot about exam, he has your back and lets you copy his.

Or if you just simply dont know something, he will teach you this thing better than the teacher would.

Yuki Tsunoda-the cudder

There is always one student who never has his teeth at rest. He has a gum, chocolate or bits of snacks in his pocket; to eat in the class.

Fernando Alonso- “failure”

the one failing all of his classes, but helping his friends with their homeworks and everything

Esteban Ocon- drama queen

This person wants to get some attention at any cost. And really loves dramas. You don’t have to join a drama club to be a Drama Queen.

Sebastian Vettel- good from the heart

he always ask his teacher how are they feeling, makes sure that everybody is feeling fine

actually has pretty good grades

Lance Stroll- the teacher’s pet

These students take front seats in the class and laugh loudly at teachers’ jokes.

They haunt teachers in school halls or torture them after class is over.

Charles Leclerc- clueless

Clueless students have no idea what they’re doing over here.

Carlos Sainz Jr. - the day dreamer

Facing the board, or the wall, or the floor or gazing at the teacher, whatever! They have the ability to adapt themselves in the voluble classroom and still – dream!

Nikita Mazepin-

the one that barely shows up to any class

Mick Schumacher- the descendant

He is actually a good student, but he’s constantly compared to his dad. Teachers always ask him if he is son of his dad, and those teachers give him the feeling he will never be as good as his dad

Daniel Ricciardo- smiley

the one always smiling, sharing good vibes with others, kinda like the class clown but more intelligent and actually funny!

Lando Norris- artist (youtuber/streamer)

They have a kind of a separate world where creativity and inspiration rule.

Lewis Hamilton- natural leader

Natural Leaders have an inborn capacity to stand out like a sore thumb. They always have good ideas and know how to attract people. They are great examples to follow.

Valtteri Bottas-nerd

Nerds prefer books to social life. Books are clever. Books don’t bully you. Books don’t ask stupid questions. What’s more, books fertilize your mind with superb ideas and make you monstrously intelligent.

Sergio Pérez- grey mouse

really intelligent student, but in class there are a few smarter than him so he always has to deal with their shades.

Max Verstappen-star

School celebrities are just fabulous, no matter what they actually do. They have groups of both fans and haters.

Nicholas Latifi- intellectual outsider

This outcast usually takes the back seat. He got used to the fact everyone in the class ignores him.

He seems to be quite odd and misanthropic. Nevertheless, when talking to the Intellectual Outsider, you can be favorably impressed that this student is very smart!

George Russell-hard worker

This student is highly motivated. He knows what he wants and how to achieve the goal.

Even though that he is not always the smartest in the class, he still tries hard and really gets what he wants.

Roswell, New Mexico custom Magic: The Gathering cards

For RNM D&D Weekend Warriors, I branched out to another tabletop format and made a handful of custom Magic: The Gathering cards based on the core cast of Roswell, NM. Here’s the break-down of how I chose each character’s color(s) and abilities as well as highlight some of the neat ways they interact. None of the cards have been playtested so there is still room for them to be further developed and balanced. For anyone who isn’t very familiar with Magic: The Gathering, every card fits into various types that can be played for the cost printed in the top right-hand corner. There are 5 colors of Mana- White, Blue, Black, Red, Green- I’ll be using the letters W, U (blue), B (black), R, and G to represent the mana colors in my discussion. Each card can also have different traits and abilities, and a set of numbers that represents how strong its attack and defense are (represented as attack/defense). There’s a lot of amazingly nerdy discussion of Magic Lore that delves into how the Mana colors relate to personality traits and behaviors of the characters on the cards-- more on that here- but just know that I’ll be discussing some of those qualities as I go into why I chose the attributes for each card/character.So here we go!

Max Evans, Smalltown Hero        2WR Legendary Creature – Human Alien Vigilance, Haste (This creature doesn’t tap to attack and may attack or use tap abilities the turn it enters the battlefield.) T, Sacrifice a nonland permanent: Another target creature gains indestructible until end of turn. Max is a deputy with the sheriff’s department and a natural leader who has kept his powers and identity a secret for years. 3/1

Max is kind hearted and wants to protect his community and friends. On the other hand, he’s impulsive and will make rash decisions without thinking about the consequences of his actions. These two beliefs place him firmly in red/white for Magic colors; a combination that often plays small aggressive creatures and engages in frequent combat. I gave Max vigilance to represent him being a defender as well as an aggressor in a lot of circumstances. His ability to sacrifice something to protect someone else exemplifies his ability to both heal and destroy. Lastly he has haste and a fragile body (1 toughness) making a game with Max play out with an early attack followed by him protecting someone else and only getting in when the coast is clear.

Michael Guerin, Tech Genius      1WU Legendary Creature – Human Alien Artificer When Michael Guerin, Tech Genius enters the battlefield, search your library and/or graveyard for a noncreature artifact or enchantment card and exile it with a research counter on it. If you searched your library this way, shuffle. X, T: Create a token that’s a copy of a card exiled with a research counter. X is that card’s mana value. 2/3

Michael cares about the team differently than Max does. He is often tinkering with things in order to heal or protect others if possible and is a genius when it comes to inventions involving alien technology. His intelligence and need for knowing more fits in blue (alongside a few other science oriented characters). Whereas Max is a straightforward attacker, I chose an ability that is much more complex to understand for Michael. He makes copies of trinkets after taking the time to examine them which lends itself to more combo and control oriented play patterns instead of just blindly turning stuff sideways. I didn’t capture Michael’s temper, but I didn’t want all aliens to be red. Maybe I’ll make another version some time that incorporates different facets of their personalities.

Isobel Evans, Influencer                UBR Legendary Creature – Human Alien Your opponents play with the top card of their library revealed. 3R, T: Gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn. 6BB, T: You control target player’s next turn. Activate only once. 1/4

Isobel has fewer words than Michael, but oh my is she complex as well. If Max leans toward aggro and Michael is combo, Isobel is the control card of the siblings. Isobel is often guided by her emotions, but channels that into careful thought in how to execute a plan and always looks out for herself and her people. Her abilities represent her powers spread across the three colors: Blue – Reading your opponent’s mind, Red – Controlling someone’s impulses for a short period, Black – Forcing your opponent’s actions, once.

Liz Ortecho, Savvy Scientist          1UB Legendary Creature – Human Rebel Liz Ortecho, Savvy Scientist can’t be blocked as long as defending player controls an artifact. Whenever Liz Ortecho deals combat damage to a player, gain control of target artifact that player controls with mana value less than or equal to the damage dealt. 2/1

Liz is smart, cunning, and will protect her own. Her science background lends itself to Blue, but this card plays up some of her devious nature of stealing hospital equipment, doing illegal research, and general sneaking around, so there’s Black in her mana cost as well. She often draws on the abilities of those around her, which means that her connections make her stronger. Amusingly, she’s unblockable against some of our other characters including her own dad!

Alex Manes, Tech Specialist            1WUB Whenever you draw a card, target creature you control gains deathtouch (Any amount of damage it deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.), lifelink (Damage dealt by that creature also causes you to gain that much life.), or vigilance (Attacking doesn’t cause it to tap.) until end of turn. Whenever Alex Manes, Tech Specialist deals combat damage to a player, create a clue token. (It’s an artifact with “2, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”) Kyle: “What’s the worst thing we could find?“ Alex: “Literal skeletons.” 2/3

Alex also sneaks around, but I wanted to play up his investigation skills a little more. Instead of just drawing a card when he does damage, he makes a clue “token”. That clue token represents information (drawing a card) that can be held onto or acted on later. He’s a character who’s able to do plenty of damage in his own right, but his big advantage is being able to help other characters do their jobs and get combat abilities they wouldn’t otherwise have. He protects his friends.

Maria DeLuca, Entrepreneur       2RG Legendary Creature – Human Alien Haste (This creature may attack and use tap abilities the turn it enters the battlefield.) Each other creature you control enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. “Maria DeLuca is her own savior.” 3/2

Maria cares about her friends and her business. Her ability helps everyone and represents your other creatures being able to stop in for a drink at the bar. She gets haste to show how hard she works and has aggressive stats so she can get her hands dirty in a fight. Like Michael, I could see another version playing into her psychic powers.

Dr. Kyle Valenti                 1WW Legendary Creature – Human Lifelink (Damage dealt by that creature also causes you to gain that much life.) When Dr. Kyle Valenti enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control. "In a hospital it doesn't matter what someone did before they came through the doors." 2/2

Kyle is a healer and instead of showing that with damage prevention, I chose a simpler buff to the whole team. Now you’re less worried about losing fights!

Rosa Ortecho, Troubled Artist                     1BR Legendary Creature – Human Alien At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one — • Draw a card and lose 2 life. • Exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card. Red is armor. 3/2

Rosa was a fun one to design. She is black red which is a color combo notoriously bad at impulse control. She has aggressive stats and an ability that makes the controller make a hard choice every turn. Do I take the guaranteed draw at the cost of a couple life or do I risk not being able to cast whatever I exile? Among other things, this represents her struggle with addiction-- taking the most directly expedient option comes with some harm to her life totals- but it’s the damage you know. The second option requires you to risk the unknown, but be able to participate in the fight without automatically being harmed-- it requires you to trust your deck and your support network...but be prepared for potential setbacks.

Arturo Ortecho                 GG Legendary Creature – Human Defender (This creature can’t attack.) Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, create a Food token. (It’s an artifact with “{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.”) G, T, Sacrifice a Food: Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. “I already have my miracle.” 2/4

Arturo cares about his community as do many of our characters, but if there’s any color that cares about bringing everyone in for dinner, it’s green. He delivers food whenever a new creature enters and can use them as buffs instead of just life gain! His kindness and compassion sustain everyone.

Deputy Jenna Cameron                 1RR Legendary Creature – Human First Strike (This creature deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.) Whenever Jenna blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, she deals 1 damage to that creature. “Who you callin’ a girl?” 2/3

In case you can’t tell, a lot of our characters act on impulse and emotion, which is a Red trait. Cam is tough (A 3/4 is needed to best her in combat!) and efficiently deals with enemies. The faster-than-first strike damage represents her sharp shooting skill. And because of her skills, anyone going up against her is going to feel it right away.

Sergeant Jesse Manes                   2BB Legendary Creature – Human Soldier Menace (This creature must be blocked by two or more creatures.) When Sergeant Jesse Manes enters the battlefield or attacks, exile the top card of each opponent’s library face down. You may cast noncreature cards exiled this way and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell. Jesse's inhumane methods leave only pain in his wake. 3/2

Jesse is a character who has his own twisted view of how his actions will better society. His card here plays up how he tends to believe the ends justify any means-- for him, at least. He steals information and uses it against those he took it from, to represent his involvement in Project Shepherd and the threat he represents not just to the safety and security of the aliens, but to anyone helping them. I chose to exclude creatures in order to make the ability a little more efficient and make it feel more like controlling the chess board and less like mind control (Which a Noah card would someday probably do).

Whew! I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I enjoyed making them!

NCT as Social Cliques

Taeyong: The Alternative Boy; Likes to be different from others, doesn’t judge people because he doesn’t like to be judged himself. Will try to do things his way, but does have a caring heart. His friends are like his family, and tries to be self sufficient, and only rely on himself for the most part.

Taeil: The Crackhead; always in a good mood no matter what, can make anyone’s day turn from boring to interesting. He has a lot of potential as a student, and does well, he’s just goofy.

Johnny: The Popular Student; Everyone loves him, always trying to talk to him, is very nice, and doesn’t act like the popular kid, has many girls swoon over him, and is super into his academics, is a very reliable person, and treats everyone like a friend.

Yuta: The Bad Boy; Does this even need an explanation? Obviously a bad boy just from his looks. Loves to be a rebel and do his own thing, is smart, but he doesn’t put his effort into school, thinks there are other things on his mind to worry about.

Kun:The Therapist; literally everyone goes to him when they have a problem. 99% of the time he always says the right thing and they end up working. Everyone wants him to be a psychiatrist when he graduates. Or possibly a great father 👀 (Only Joking)

Doyoung: The Poetic Heartbreaker; Loves to write poetry. Anything involving writing is his thing. Loves to recite his poems at open mic nights, talent shows, in front of the class just because he loves poetry. He’s a heartbreaker because he is super romantic in his poems, but he doesn’t want a fling, he is saving himself for a special someone.

Ten: The Artistic Student; Were you even surprised? This boy loves to draw, but he is also good at everything, and is very smart and angelic looking, so of course he would be labeled as artistic.

Jaehyun: The F-Boy/ Player; Hear me out, I don’t think Jaehyun would be the type that is considered an f-boy, he is just really attractive and good at sex, his awkward persona plus his stature and charming qualities just attracts girls, but he is not going to just dump them then and there, most of the girls he fucks with know it’s just a fling and move on.

WinWin: The Quiet Kid; Very Shy, but is super nice and adorable, intelligent as well, has a small group of friends, and when he is around them he will become outgoing. Usually surprises everyone when he speaks because they never hear his voice, so when he speaks his voice flows out beautifully.

Jungwoo: The Forgetful Student; Has to have people remind him 24/7 about upcoming work due, just to remember, everyone suggests that he gets a planner or sticky notes to write down dates for things, but he doesn’t listen, will also forget about the time he has to hangout with his friends, but overall he is very sweet, he just forgets lol.

Lucas: The Jock; I shouldn’t have to explain this, very athletic, attractive, and a goofball, he’s a perfect athlete. Does almost every sport that he can try out for, girls swoon over him like crazy, and is a major flirt about it, he is very playful, and jokes around a lot, but he is a very smart student, and excels in a lot of stuff.

Mark: The Skater Boy; Of course, think about the voice, the way he dresses, and his attitude, he has to be a skater boy. Is always at the skate park during lunch, will head out with his friends on weekends, after school, but he loves to go at night. Tries to learn new tricks every five seconds. Even has one of those miniature skateboards he takes to school, and uses his fingers to practice tricks when he has free time.

Xiaojun: The Quiet Songwriter; Stays by himself, and writes lyrics. Always wanted to be a singer, and promises himself that he is going to get there. He writes beautiful lyrics, and is a sweetheart to everyone around him. Wants to share his lyrics, but is shy and wants to make sure they are perfect.

Hendery: The Partier; Can definitely see him throwing a house party every weekend, but they are always good, if you miss one one week, just go to the next one next week, it would surprise people if he didn’t throw a party. Makes sure to know a lot of people so he can have a party, and always wants them to be memorable.

Renjun: The Awkward Friend; He’s that one friend that tags along just for the fun of it. Doesn’t think to much about his actions, but that’s why everyone likes him, he’s carefree. He’s the type of friend you bring to a haunted house when you are scared. Loves to be around people and have a good time.

Jeno: Underclassman President; I don’t know why, but I always imagine Jeno as a really good class President, always trying to take care of his classmates, and making sure they are all safe, of course Jeno and Jaemin are really good friends for this exact reason. Makes sure to keep his persona as a leader, and will always keep a promise.

Donghyuck: The Classy Student; That one student that acts rich or is rich. He tends to be very classy, knows how to dress well, and always smells nice. Talks to a lot of people, and is seen as the prince of the school. He is also very funny naturally, so he gets along with everyone.

Jaemin: The Favorite Student; Always has teachers around him admired by his desire to learn, always a sweetheart, and makes sure the teachers know that as well, helps students by tutoring them, and helps his peers pass. Is in multiple academic clubs, and helps with the school to make it better. All in all he’s an adorable good boy.

YangYang: The Class Clown; of course he’s a class clown, look at him now, lmao, but seriously, he would always keep his entire class laughing at his jokes. Is in the yearbook every year for class clown, and he’s proud of that, has many friends, and is very popular, definitely a good friend to have around.

Shotaro: The Always Late Student; Never on time, always has some excuse for class as to why he’s late to school, or to a date, or to hangout with some friends. Is such a deep sleeper as well, he can sleep over his alarm a lot, but he does put effort into being on time when it counts like exam days, or important dates.

Sungchan: The Perfectionist; Wants everything to be put in a nice, neat, and orderly fashion. Always gets extra points on his projects because he puts nice designs on them and always has index cards to read off of. His classmates love when they are paired up with him because he knows he will get them a good grade.

Chenle: The Professional Friend; The one kid that is known by everyone because they swear that he is one of their closest friends. He didn’t intentionally become everyone’s “friend,” he just talks to a lot of people, he’s smart, charismatic, and funny, of course everyone wants to be his friend. Only downside is that it takes him a decade to remember everyone’s name.

Jisung: The popular underclassman; you know those freshmen or sophomores that know and hang out with only upperclassman? Yeah, that’s Jisung, basically only has juniors and seniors as friends, but also has a few friends in his grade, Attracts girls from every year because of his status, and many girls never know what grade he is in, just assumes he is upper class due to his height, and demeanor.

Hi!!! Can I have a male ship? 🌹

19, Libra, ENFJ-A/ENFJ-T, Ravenclaw, and my moral alignment is Neutral Good. Plus sized and 5'1.2", weird but my friend told me that my face reminds her three fictional characters (Musa, Marinette and Trese), but I have wavy/messy brunette medium hair and chocolate brown eyes. People thought that I'm "immaculate" or "saint" also "girly girl", but my personality is too complex...Despite being diplomatic and religious, I have a lowkey crackhead energy, speak with sarcasm, make corny jokes/puns, share what I know (mostly Christianity), but will be your supporter and cheer you up when you're down. I kin Rapunzel, Aerith, Marinette, Yuna, Rinoa, and Umaru. But can be wrathful and savage like Oikawa, Kageyama, Daichi, and Aisaka. It's also funny that I radiate the common Libra woman traits also the meme "Looks like a cinnamon roll, but will actually kill you". My deeper self is hella fragile, soft-hearted, and vulnerable that cries so easily and tends to doubt myself from insecurities and frustrations. In front of my friends, I laugh so loud, swears like a sailor, vent out, call out someone that we hate, cry over my crush, and unintentionally becoming idiot or clumsy. Also I'm more comfortable in boyish and emo fashion, though I fell in love with the Korean make up look.

My best assets are smile, eyes, personality, singing voice, artistic skills, writings, intelligence, and oratorical skills...so I can consider myself as a singer, artist, orator, and a top student who's a former active campus ministry member with three roles (choir leader, psalm singer, and reader). Currently an incoming college freshman, learning how to cook and have so many interests, to the point I don't know what I'm into because of my dreams to become a popular Filipino YouTuber, a novelist, and being part of a successful chorale competing internationally...I also consider joining pageants at school too once the pandemic ends, but maybe.

Hii, at first I was confused at this ask it seemed familiar. But I've already done it if you haven't seen it love! It's this But if you wish for a new ship, here;

Harry potter ~

At first, Harry would be interested in you, let's say you both got partnered in class, he's fascinated by your smarts. If your more smarter than hermione. The way your face shines in the sun light, he will absolutely love it. When you introduce him to anime, Disney/Disney princesses, YouTube. He might of heard it from dudlley when they were young, ik the 90s didn't have youtube but let's pretend. Study dates!! You both are smart, a perfect time for study dates at the library. He loves how your eyes pop up, whenever you wear anything.

Yeaaah— I wrote this also cooking noodles, I forgot to post it.

Join my celebration<3

🍇🍐🍊

🍇  :    how would my muse describe their childhood? how much has it impacted the person they are now, or will become as an adult? around what age did they or will they start to mature,  and why? do they wish to go back to their days as a child, or have they embraced adulthood?

Bitter. He'd describe it as bitter, I never imagined his home life was very good, filled with intensely religious parents who believed in spanking and teaching their son to love (fear) god. He was also sent to a catholic boarding school, where he met his best friend and his wife. With the mix of loutermilch's sexual abuse, and Jessicas "suicide", his childhood was extremely unstable, unhappy and hard to navigate. That left him with a fractured sense of self and identity (i don't headcanon that he has DID, but possibly OSDD? and BPD.) as well as a hard time even describing his childhood. With all the gaslighting into believing Jessicas death was a suicide and not a murder, Blake also learned to be extremely vulernable and accept OTHER peoples truths and beliefs over his. Which just made him easier for Loutermilch to manipulate.

Blake never really matured, I don't think. Blake seems like the kind of kid who got called old soul, or reincarnated or older than his actual age, but now as an adult seems childhish and underdeveloped. Blake wants to embrace adulthood, he wants to so hard, he tried to and successfully did after marrying Lynn. But... Now, against his will, he feels perminantly stuck back as a child both bc of his living conditions and his mental state. He hates it.

🍐  : how intelligent is my muse overall? are they smarter than the average person, or less than? are they primarily self-taught, or did they acquire most of their knowledge in school? are they more street smart or book smart?

Heeee is not very smart, his school more focused on religion than actual facts. He's about a little dumber than the average person . He did go to college after all... uhm.... for tv film and video arts. so not exactly like... "smart" stuff. He's very artistically driven, I headcanon he's good with artistic prose and likes to write poetry and lyrics. He's also very..pretentious with it, or atleast used to be as a young adult. He's extremely witty, thinks on his feet, and can be very sarcastic and smart assy. he's a quick thinker, too.

That being said, socially, he's pretty behind. Blake is not the brightest when it comes to understanding people and tends to be very judgemental, a ton of things just. Go over his head, and he has a hard time being a leader or actually taking lead in a conversation. He's good as a follower. But for the most part he just doesn't understand people. Blake might've been diagnosed with adhd or autism as a kid, those were early behavioral quirks that was actually connected to his schizophrenia. He's just... kind of antisocial. Not an introvert, just relaly bad with people.

🍊  : does my muse desire romance? is it something they would actively seek out, or prefer to happen more ‘ naturally?  ’ what is their love life like? do they have any exes or past flings,  or crushes?

I can't see blake as a guy who even really gets romance, but thats also because of his extremely repressed sexuality. Don't get me wrong, he loved Lynn incredibly with his whole heart, but he did sort of... Just figure like. Well she's been my best friend since we were kids, so we need to get married, right? That's how it's supposed to go. He did have a few flings in college, mostly when he was experimenting and. Not wanting to be a virgin anymore. But romance wise he was never exactly interested in anyone, even Lynn. He just figured that's how it's supposed to be.

That being said I think he has the tiniest little fake-ish crush on Ethan just because he's nice to him. He is completely unaware though

[mechanomorphic]

oh hey some 9 hcs/theories bcs i Think abt this movie a lot (under the cut bcs this was way longer than i thoUGHT IT WA S GOING TO BE WHOOPS)

the main cast being comprised of parts of the scientists ‘soul’ is kinda complicated. basically theyre not just parts of the scientist himself, but rather people hes known, experiences he’s been through and his ideas/ideals

-1 is probably the most obvious in terms of this - he has clear parts of how the scientist remembers the chancellor, but also probably other older men in positions of power hes known throughout his life. his father, old professors or teachers, characters he read about in books as a boy that were leaders. perhaps 1′s fear comes from what the scientist wished these men had - especially the chancellor - a fear of the unknown, of the unknowable, afterall if the chancellor never took the machine away maybe none of this would have happened.

-speaking of the machine, she (i use she/her for the machine) is similar to her creator, probably the closest to him in terms of raw personality. the issue is shes a little, well... shes almost like a child. she craves the attention of the scientist and lashed out when he was taken away from her. she refuses to conform to what others want of her (a feeling the scientist probably remembers from his youth) but she was hurt and now shes angry and while the scientist, and none of the stitchpunks, should ever be expected to forgive her... the scientist probably felt bad for her, right until his last moments

-2 is an interesting case. perhaps the softer side of the older men in the scientists life, grandparents, gentler teachers, perhaps in some ways his mother. he has the scientist’s (and the machine’s) drive to create. to build upon the world before them. inspired by the people around the scientist that when he was growing up kept him creating. someone that didn’t quite have it in themselves to be a leader, cautious but not afraid, a perfect companion to 1 (but once again, we’re driving into ‘if only’s’)

-there is a childishness to 3 and 4, i would suggest that they come from the scientist’s memories of childhood. of those he knew when he was a young boy, but also himself. the desire to understand the world around them, facinated because everything was so new. the scientist knew the mistakes of the past shouldnt be buried with humanity, so he created two minds that wished to understand. to catalogue. as for why twins? maybe he felt loneliness in his youth, he knew being an intelligent child often meant being alone, hidden away in books. he couldnt bring himself to let them be alone, so he made two twins, perfectly in sync (except for the moments they are not). siblings argue, but siblings patch up. 3 and 4 would never have to face being alone, because they would always have each other.

-5. a fan favourite for many, myself included! his soft, trusting nature is something that is not often seen in masc coded characters, and his creativity and arc of coming into his own is something very near and dear to me. i think he came from memories of dearly beloved friends. some of whom were perhaps more followers than leaders, but comfortable like that. despite everything, those friends were a deep part of the scientist’s soul, and though he wished to carry them forever, he’s more than happy to have 5 live on in their memory

-6 is an odd one to talk about. again this theme of creativity returns (perhaps something very deeply a part of the scientist’s soul?) but in a much more literal fashion. an artist, a loner, misunderstood. more comfortable expressing himself with ink on paper than with words. to me 6 feels like he wouldve been a family member, or perhaps a few. a niece, or nephew, or uncle, or cousin. someone a bit strange, someone the scientist did not fully understand - and perhaps feared, because it often seemed that by looking at the world from this different angle, they understood more than him - and to a smart man, a very logical man, that must be quite frightening.

-7 reads to me as an older sibling. someone willing to take others under her wing but also keep them at arms length, for as much their protection as hers. a protector, a watchful guardian. theres a hidden softness, perhaps one the scientist never fully reached, but one the twins and 9 managed to pull out. or perhaps the scientist was imagining it. it doesnt matter now, anyhow.

-8 feels obvious. a solider, maybe a bit of a bully. perhaps a friend, or maybe more accurately an acquaintance. someone the scientist couldn’t click with, maybe couldn’t understand. but he knows the idea of a protector, a guard, and he builds that into 8. rough around the edges, much like his counterpart 7, he desires to protect his family, even if he isnt the best about it. he fails to grasp the other stitchpunks the way the scientist couldnt grasp the solider, and is too eager to follow and not have to think. but he has a heart, and its usually somewhere around where the right place is.

-curious, brave and so incredibly foolish, the main boy, 9. if the scientist met 9 he’d attribute him to his younger self, full of curiosity and bravery and maybe those two traits stopped them both from thinking ahead a little. but theres so much more to him than that. 9 is a leader - a mix of 1′s level headedness, and 2′s empathy. he builds those around him up, encourages them to be better, but is also just a bit of a manipulator, even if he doesnt mean to be. but one could argue a good leader needs to manipulate, just a tad. he’s their last hope because 9 is new, he’s the only one of them left that still has it in his heart to hope for something better.

THE DESERT ROSE

The Duchess of Sandspell

Name: Yasmin Melek Yıldırım Age: 30 Pronouns: She/Her Occupation: Duchess Dukedom: Sandspell FC: Esra Bilgiç Status: Played by Admin B

About

If there was a flower to bloom in adversity it would be you. Growing up as another face among the crowd, you are more than just another noble in a position of a power- you are the heart of your people and there is a reason they've chosen you to lead. Not only are you incredibly intelligent, having been a skilled spy for the kingdom once upon a time, but you are also an artist, knowing how to gain one's trust and when to lean on others to take advantage of their select skillsets. But, what no one knows is how much of a toll being the people's 'perfect' choice takes upon you.

Occupation

The Duke/Duchess is the ruler of the formidable deserts known as Kum Diyari. They manage the Dukedom's various enterprises, oversee the strategic plans of trading routes, transportation and espionage as well as the preservation of knowledge and artistry.

Biography (TW: Depression, Alcoholism, Addiction, Violence, Self-Harm)

If there was one thing Yasmin could always count on- it was finding solace in the stars. Growing up in the city of artists, she would find herself sprawled out upon some abandoned rooftop. The cool desert air stinging her cheeks as she’d trace the constellations with her eyes. The patterns were ever changing, but the promise of starlight was always the same. Those brilliant shimming lights an ever present reminder that there was beauty amongst the darkness. 

For the Yildirims weren’t born a noble breed. They were forgotten faces amongst the crowd. Her grandfather had been engineer who tinkered his life away bringing other’s designs to life, lacking the skills to truly create anything of worth himself. While, her father, the poet, practically embodied the nature of the ‘starving artist’. He must have been charismatic and suave back in the day. An idealistic dreamer sweeping others up in his intoxicatingly dreamy words. That is how he managed to capture the heart of her mother after all.  Only, in Yasmin’s lifetime, she had never once met that man. 

The man she knew as babacığım was a washed up empty shell of the dreamer he was before, having quickly slipped into a depression shortly after his wife walked out on him. The man Yasmin knew as father was a man who found himself over and over again at the end of a bottle. A man who gambled any spare coins they had away, had a tendency to invite strangers into their home and, when she was toddler, would fail to remember where he last left her. Now that all wasn’t to say he didn’t love her. He adored her very much. So much so, that he throw money he didn’t have at her. He’d take his family out to fancy dinners, borrow money he didn’t have with the promise he’d one day pay the people he took from back. And maybe in part he truly believe that he would. But, between him barely managing to get out of bed during the day to having strange men invade their home and threaten them at night- it all became too much.

So she left. The dusty streets of Kum Diyari becoming her home. Those next few years marked some of the best of her life. Living on the streets was far from easy, but given her upbringing, it wasn’t exactly as if she was accustomed to a cushy lifestyle before and she was used to taking care of herself. But, amongst the boisterous market places and crowds flooded with artists, she felt free. She felt as if a weight had been lifted off her chest, having only the responsibility of herself and herself alone. That and it didn’t hurt that she had met quite the handsome newfound company.

Kaan was unequivocally captivating. He was quick witted charmer who never ceased to live in the moment. He may have been a petty theft out for himself, but she had, maybe naively, believed in him when he promised to have each’s others back. Laying out underneath the luminescent moon, their pinkies locked in an almost childlike gesture as her heavy lids fell close. Her head rested against his shoulder. They were supposed to be each other’s chosen family. They were suppose to be there for each other when no one else would. Only, Yasmin was quickly reminded of how a promise was made up of easy words all too easily broken. 

Kaan didn’t just leave her. Yasmin rolled over ready to cuddle up against the man she was smitten with to find that he vanished into the night as swiftly as he had entered her life and cleaned her out along the way. He didn’t even leave a coin to her name. She eventually managed to track him down after weeks of struggling to fend for herself, but when she did, she was met with an accusation rather than an explanation. She had a family unlike him, he so poignantly reminded her. He needed the money to make something of himself while a girl like her? If she was smart, she’d do herself a favor and return to where she belonged. 

He hadn’t been unaware of the full situation. She knew that and yet his words couldn’t help, but sting. Her father had sold the last of what they had. She had no home to return to and the one person she had believed wholeheartedly was her family had tossed her aside as if she was nothing. A nobody. 

The next few months, Yas spent attempt to fend for herself- shifting from the girl who tried to avoid precarious situations like an attempted mugging or escaping a handsy drunken merchant who sought to take advantage of how innocent she seemed, to seeking them out. She needed money. She needed food. She needed roof over her head and she needed to eat. So, she took a page from Kaan’s book. But, rather than relying on nibble fingers, she was quick on her feet.

She lunged forwards, cloak draped over head to conceal her face from view, as she held a dagger up against a passerby’s neck. It hadn’t been her first mugging, but what she wasn’t expecting was for the woman she had threatened to quickly take the upper hand, pining her onto her back in a matter of seconds. 

To Yasmin’s surprise, instead of reporting her to the authorities, the woman saw potential in her. Extending out her hand, the teacher offered to mold her into the perfect weapon. A mercenary for the kingdom who would spy for the crown and whom one would never be able to gain the upper hand on again. 

And, oh, how they were right. As the years progressed, Yasemin didn’t just gain notoriety from that of the late duchy of Kum Diyari, she perfected her smile into that of a sharp blade, carrying an eased charm about her that would make others feel comfortable and connected to her enough to share their secrets, but not from ever truly knowing what thoughts were running through her own head at any precise moment. And when it was the late duchy’s time to step down, it was on their recommendation for her to take over.

Yasmin Yilidrim wouldn’t have been the person you’d bet on to make something of herself and, yet, she’s a leader who has managed to steal the hearts of her people. They view her as one of them. The daughter of an artist. A skilled ex-spy. An incredibly intelligent rose amongst the desert who acts with their best interests in mind, making the choice to resist the existing rule after the growing political upheaval from their own. She is a picturesque duchess, managing to come across as mesmerizing and relatable, all while holding her head held high. Her nails, all the while, cutting dipper into the skin around her palms. The weight of the world and her past sometimes becoming far too much for her to carry upon her shoulders- not that she’d ever let it show across her calm facade.

Personality

+ Charismatic: Yasmin has a way of captivating those around her with that of a simple smile. She has an effortless pull of her lips that has a way of putting those around her at ease. She is far from the loudest in the room, preferring to sit back and observe those around her rather than steal the show. But, she has conversing down to an art form. 

+ Clever: For a dukedom that values intelligence and ingenuity, it is no wonder that their leader would as clever as they come. Yasmin is a strategic thinker, liking to remain at least ten steps ahead of anyone else in the room. Her open-minded nature and survival instincts allowing herself to think outside the box and connect the dots others might not have picked up on. But, where she may lack, she makes up for by purposely surrounding herself with those she can lean on.

- Secretive: Yas goes out of her way to make sure her true self remains just out of reach. With knowledge is power and she’d be damned if she will allow anyone else to gain a leg up on her.

- Apprehensive: Yasmin spends each day dreading the worst. She’s far too paranoid for her own liking, constantly afraid that someone will use her own vulnerabilities against her or take everything from her once more. Playing the role of an unattainable and perfect leader is more exhausting than she’d ever let on. The scars she has inflicted upon herself, tucked away out of view, and the faint scabs healing over across her palms are proof alone that she isn’t as skilled at holding it all together as she’d like the world to believe.

Tagged by the Marvelous @ellelaconiwrites 😘 love ya hun!! And yes Michelle Yeoh is AMAZING. Be warned, this list comes in no particular order...so please don’t make me choose

1. Tom Hiddleston (he’s fun, cultured, smart, talented, has a great sense of humor and is good looking; not to mention that he has a boyish charm. If you think he’s a goody goody, you haven’t seen him nasty😏....plus he has a dog named Bobby 🐶)

2. Adam Driver (OF COURSE he’s on my list...I’m not an idiot.. What can I say, he’s a tall and handsome/cute drink of water, he’s also funny and goofy, but thoughtful, talented, hard working, and smart. Not to mention that he has a doggie named Moose 🐕. Of course I Stan! )

3. Cody Fern (While I’m not usually a fan of blonde men, Cody is hmm. This beautiful Aussi falls under my list of men that play with gender. There’s nothing sexier than a man that’s confident enough to play with gender. 🤤 AND!! He’s a great dresser and when he wears make up, ufff. He can be sweet, snarky and Daddy all in one. Plus he’s never boring and is talented, thoughtful.)

4. Adam Sackler & Phillip Altman (They’re both mischievous little boys trapped in men’s bodies. They’re both endearing and obnoxious, but very sweet and emotional. I also like that Adam likes to the role of a caregiver, he likes to feel needed and responsable for someone, and that makes him a good potential to be a father.)

5. Alexander Vlahos (Actor, writer, director, and cat lover. He does it all. Alex is super funny, goofy, smart, witty, handsome and beautiful. He looks good in drag or just hanging out. We have to Stan.)

6. Alexander Ludwig (He’s a gorgeous Canadian Maple, and I can’t help but make heart eyes at him.)

7. Clyde Logan (They grow them big at West Virginia! I just wanna lie on the couch with him and read a book or cook dinner. Like with Paterson -another military vet- Clyde makes you appreciate the simple life.)

8. Toby Regbo (Actor, activist and amateur drag queen. We Stan Stella Lagoon, but I like Toby more ;). He’s so intelligent and thoughtful, he reads a lot of philosophy books and also donates his time doing charity. Plus those eyes are entrancing and I just wanna have a laugh with him while staring at them all night.)

9. Dr. Mikhail Varshavski, D.O., AKA Dr. Mike. (He has to be on this list. He’s a Russian doctor, he’s handsome AF, funny, goofy and is a doggy daddy to Roxy and Bear. He also has a YouTube channel and honestly his best moments are when he’s not perfect.)

10. Jake Gyllenhaal (this is a long time coming. I don’t know if it’s his face, his eyes, his smile or his laugh, but 😍.)

Honorable mentions

Toby Grisoni (He’s a bit of a cynical asshole, but he’s a sexy AF cynical asshole. He needs someone to whip him into shape and show him a bit of humility)

Alexander Dreymon (I have no words for this beautiful German man.)

Paul Rudd (he’s been a crush of mine since the 90’s and I still adore him)

Chris Evans (That’s America’s ass ;)

Jared Leto (He’s a bit of a fuckboi but he’s an immortal one. Plus he’s fun and really smart. He contemplates things a lot and is a nature lover, he has fun with his appearance and is very creative. Plus he’s hung...I mean, there’s a reason they call it Satan...plus he’s into some sado masochist stuff. I’d try it.)

Darren Criss (I cant put my finger on it.)

Michael Langdon (He’s the son of Satan and he’s kinda sexy. He’s not always sure, and he had some help along the way, but when he finally came into his own...daaaamn.)

Nico Tortorella (I just a sucker for them. Nico is just 🤤 but they’re fun and has an adventurous soul. I am so team Josh in younger. To be clear they’re non binary.

Kylo Ren ( Complex character...need I say more. Kylo is a scholar of the force turned commander, turned Supreme Leader. He’s not evil, but also not all good -like any real person. I didn’t see enough of him to get a good grip of his personality, but that’s where we can fill the blanks -cause I can guarantee it’ll be better than whatever Disney would’ve come up with.)

Zuko (Bad guy turned good in the best way possible. Story/character wise: he’s what Kylo isn’t; a well redeemed antagonist. He fails, gets frustrated, tries to be funny but tends to be moody and humorless. But he has a soft cookie dough core underneath it all.)

James ‘Pale’ from Burn This (Jersey boy be Jersey. He’s tall, a hard worker an artist and has a motormouth. Yeah he’s obnoxious, is traumatized by his brothers death and has a cocaine habit, not to mention that he’s in a failed marriage and has issues expressing emotion, but god damn it if you can’t see the emotional vulnerability underneath.

Charlie Barber (I low key love his controlling energy. He’s probably a sub, if I’m honest. But he needs an assertive woman, the man is a controlling narcissist, so his partner can’t take his shit, has to bring him down a peg once in a while and support him, but also demand that he support them.

Sam Geggie: (Sam is a total creative power house as Gigi Goode. They’re funny and witty. I’ll be bad for them if they want. 😏. ❤️ In case you’re wondering Sam is gender fluid.)

L (So he’s basically a law breaking Sherlock Holmes. He’s actually a very engaging and intriguing character. And to be real, there’s an ego thing to being recognized by someone with his intelligence and influence.)

Bill Skarsgard (He’s beautiful.)

Sung Kang (He’s just gorgeous, and his attitude kills me.)

John Hamm (He’s masculine and traditionally handsome...plus he’s hung.)

Alexander Skarsgard (He can be my Viking any day)

Vegeta (yes I’m a dragonball fan. He is arguably the most complex character in the franchise. He is a present father and a supportive and loyal-to-fault husband. Sure he had some growing pains, but I Stan.)

Andreja Pejić (I had a crush before she came out as trans and I still have a crush on her)

Gustav Skarsgard (I cant even. There’s something there.)

Clark Gable (I don’t need to say anything, he’s just so suave and debonair.)

Kento Yamazaki (I mean c’mon. He’s cute)

Did I cheat? Maybe.. ;) Do I have a type? I don’t know, if you thinks so then leave a comment to let me know.

Tagging some friends!! @kowalskibro-adamdriverblog @ktellmeastory @adumbdryer @callmehopeless @direnightshade @commanderbensolo @tsarinastorm @jyn-z-solo @ohiobluetip @oh-adam @thomasscresswell @mind-p0llution @klauscarolove

(PnF) Headcanon #4 Boys Basic Info

This post is a follow up to post #3 pertaining to the fireside girls, but you don't need to read that post to understand this post. This post will mainly be basic information pertaining to the male cast of Phineas and Ferb characters in the same age range as the fireside girls. I will likely make a post similar for the older characters, but for now this one is necessary for my plans for post #5. First on the chopping block is, Phineas Flynn: Phineas is an erratic young boy who I believe to have ADHD. He is morally driven though those morals aren't always the best morals.

Unlike his brother, Thor cares little if at all for the fame Thaddeus pursues.

bts astro soulmate reading | for brie

sign: aries sun | taurus moon | cancer rising

lover: Jung Hoseok | soulmate: Kim Seokjin

This reading is for Brie, a Jin bias with Namjoon as a wrecker. I can’t tell you how much Iove a woman that loves our fine ass hyungs. Thanks for waiting, and please enjoy <3

Those born under an Aries Sun and Taurus Moon are a truly powerful force and are considered one of the prized fighters of the zodiac. You are extremely independent and move through the world on your own terms, craving stability - both emotionally and financially - but also artistic and creative expression/freedom, traits which are often at odds with each other. Your Aries Sun is spontaneous, excitable, and determined while your Taurus Moon you patient, grounded, and rooted in reason. While you may have struggled with striking a balance between these two ideals throughout your life, over time it is likely that you've learned to harness your enthusiasm and focus, understanding how to both dream and do in a practical manner. Your watery Cancer rising brings softness and raw emotion to the tangible, grounded nature of your fire and earthy persona. While you are extremely driven towards your goals, Cancer makes you outwardly emotional, expressing your wide range of moods, making you inherently human and more endearing to everyone in your orbit. Highly charming, charismatic, and emotionally intelligent, you are a natural born leader amongst your friends, family and colleagues, likely finding ways to merge your need for artistry and creativity with something that draws a profit. You know how to speak simply about your many entrepreneurial ideas, but with an energy that makes people believe that your words hold authenticity and weight. And as a true caring and sensitive nature of your Cancer rising, that sincerity is your super power.

You, dear Aries, know how to get what you want in life without being overly pushy or manipulative, your passionate yet calm nature typically making people see things your way. This comes in handy in your work life where you lead teams and spearhead projects but also in any social setting. Your demeanor naturally attracts swaths of new fans and admirers in spaces where your communication prowess is able to shine. As a result, you are a bit spoiled - your Taurus moon is quite stubborn and occasionally inflexible when faced with opposing opinions while your Cancer rising makes you particularly sensitive to others viewpoints. While at a dinner party with some coworkers you can't help but feel your blood boiling as you sit across the table from Jung Hoseok, a mutual acquaintance and the life of the party whose sole purpose seems to be to toy with you, playfully pressing your buttons and watching you come undone. He is opinionated, unapologetic, smart, and not hanging off of every word you say - offering up valid retorts to your arguments and having fun doing it. Loving a challenge, you can't can't help but find yourself trying to bring him to see your side of things, resulting in an intellectual sparring match that everyone else can't help but observe. You can't help but be drawn to his striking features as he retorts: the sharpness of his jaw, the darkness of his eyes, his clearly intelligent mind and charisma to match yours. Your Taurus Moon and Cancer rising generally makes you more of a romantic, valuing a long-term relationship over a short term fling with a handsome stranger. But there is something about Hoseok: you don't know much about him, but you definitely want to fuck his brains out sooner rather than later.

Luckily, that is exactly what this Aquarius has in mind as he calls for his car after leaving the second bar where you've ended your night, his hands moving steadily up your back and lets out hisses against your neck. You melt into his grip, your hard Cancer shell crumbling while he whispers into your ear. Show me more of that fire, won't you? And you do, shoving him against the leather interior of his backseat as his fingers move to roll up the partition. In mere seconds you are devouring each other, his mouth moving from your lips to your neck and down to your nipples, licking each one and making you shudder before slipping his fingers beneath the fabric of your skirt and your panties. You can feel his hardness pressed between your legs, and want nothing more than to feel him deeper as his fingers expertly work your clit before finding your center. Eyes locked, you fuck yourself against his fingers while he stares up at you with awe and pure, unadulterated lust. In this moment and the weeks that follow you two are in game of who can drive each other the craziest, your competitive egos more than happy to play. This is the first in a series of wild nights of you getting fucked in various public locations - bars, restaurant bathrooms, dressing rooms - his fingers in your mouth as he stifles your frenzied moans as he makes you cum back to back. Your inhibitions cease to exist when Hoseok is involved, igniting a certain energy in you that has you practically always craving his cock.

For Aquarius Hoseok, sex is a sport, a means of expressing energy and physicality and not necessarily love in the way that you would prefer. His Mars is in Aquarius, making him at times detached and impulsive in relationships. You are impatient, wanting more of a commitment after so much incredible sex and time spent while Hoseok only plays on his terms and no one else's. Ultimately, you can recognize are interested in a more traditional, solidified relationship which the airy, less emotional Aquarius can provide. While your emotional disconnect does not equip you for long-term love, the sex is something that you can't (and don't) give up easily, reuniting with him whenever you see his name pop across your phone. I land tomorrow, can I take you out? You never say no.

One of the main pleasure-seekers of the zodiac, your sign is often seeking out life's finest things from sex and food to travel and new experiences. Your refined taste lends itself to adventures including international jaunts (Aries kryptonite) and of course the most delicious food a city has to offer. It is no surprise when, on a trip of Seoul, that you find yourself booked at the restaurant owned by the infamous Kim Seokjin - its had nothing but rave reviews. Its on this particular night that the owner is making a surprise appearance as a maitre'd, a no-phones policy keeping the vibe intimate but still lively and high-spirited. You are drawn to his effortless Sagittarius confidence, the way that he so easily plays to the guests and the fans that occupy each table as the soju flows and the delicious scenes float around the room. As one of the last tables to dine, an adorably tipsy and flushed Seokjin slides into your booth, asks you how you enjoyed yourself. In the moment it is hard for for you to pretend that you were focusing on anything else that night but the breadth of his shoulders in his button up, the way sweat formed on his brow as he sauntered from table to table, or the generally perfect nature of his face. You are both sugar and spice, singing high praises of the meal and atmosphere while flashing him a fiery stare, suggesting you're interested in more than food. Seokjin bites, equally curious in getting to know what lies beneath that Capricorn exterior. I'm hosting a smaller gathering for my chef to present a new tasting menu - would love to have you.

Your Aries and Jin's Sagittarius Suns have multitudes of acquaintances but only few close friends, and are not ones to commit to anyone or anything too soon emotionally. Yes, you're both big softies beneath a cool exterior but you have been hurt before and therefore have incredibly high standards for the people you involve yourself with romantically. As a result, your dates are proper and curated and of course competitive - think go-carting or mini golf and a four-course dinner, and a chance to get to really know each other beyond the physical even if its just a few dates (you're both impatient). You can hardly wait when you find yourself backed against his front door after you return from that evening's date, a whimper escaping you as he pushes his body firmly against yours as he leans in to trace your lips with his. Stopping just short of a kiss, he smiles at your desperation. I'm going to show you how much I hate losing. You're happy to show him up more often if it means more nights like this: your legs pinned up by your shoulders as Jin thrusts into you softly and deeply until you're cumming mercilessly onto his cock, grabbing onto his thick hair and broad back to stabilize yourself. The hot sex launches you into a relationship that starts off very fun, light-hearted but over time moves into something more serious - something you both likely didn't expect but are happy to fall into.

Jin's Saturn in Aquarius makes him a very diligent, dedicated worker - its one contributor to his major career success - and he likes to enjoy the benefits of his hard work. He very much a provider in the traditional sense, in that he wants to take care of the ones he loves with no questions asked. Jin is happy to provide you with the financial stability you require, as long as it makes you free to pursue more creative, perhaps less lucrative endeavors. For the Sagittarius man in love, you can't put a price tag on joy - the limit does not exist, and this is only aided by his romantic Capricorn Venus which just wants to make you smile by any means necessary. It is not that he is your sugar daddy by any means, he just instinctively wants to anything to make you happy. He enjoys watching your face light up while talking about a new entrepreneurial endeavor and ways to boost your shared wealth, our mind working a mile a minute as you work through your many ideas that he thinks are both crazy and brilliant. You often struggle to recognize your greatness and unlock your potential, something Seokjin's Aries Moon sees and understands on a deep level. His Aries Moon can make him impatient with you and relentless in making you see what he sees.

It's worth mentioning that while Aries holds their own in any relationship, your Taurus Moon is innately turned on by his ability to take care of you financially. He has no issue showering you with affection, gifts, or whatever you need - his Capricorn Venus pairing well with your Cancer rising which is the embodiment of sensitivity, emotion and romance. For you, sex is a way in which you express your love, thinking of ways to satisfy and be satisfied in return. Even when you're the one dressed head to toe in an angelic impossibly gorgeous white lingerie set he bought you when he walks through the door, you hold the reigns. I want to take care of you, baby. Let me do that, please? Your dynamic in bed is naturally one where you are more dominant, with Seokjin happy to lean back against the couch cushions and submit while you lower your lips onto his cock, your tongue swirling around the tip just how he likes it. Nothing is hotter to you than looking up at him, his eyes fixated on your lips as you swallow him - his groans picking up in fervor as you work your way up and down his length. Only you know how to get him this incredibly hard, practically ready to lose it before you climb on top of him sliding the fabric of your stockings to the side so you can take him in. The sex here is sexy but sweet, his lips sucking on your sensitive nipples as his hands gently roam your body to heighten the sensation of your bodies together. I like to think that Jin has a bit of a breeding kink, one that you're happy to indulge, his strong hands frantically gripping your hips and sweet nothings pouring out of his lips as he finishes in you. I love you so much, baby, so fucking much. Jin is insatiable, so there will always be rounds.

Aries and Sagittarius are two of the most passionate signs in the zodiac and you both need someone who endlessly fuels their respective fires. While their interests and careers may take them around the globe and to great heights, you two never stop having fun together. Once these signs go for it, they truly commit to making the best of their partnership, keeping the spark alive by all means necessary: with silly dance parties and hot tub sex in your winter chalet after days of snowboarding in Aspen. You require your finances and relationships, both romantic and familial, to be solid before you can focus on other areas of life, often obsessing over making sure these pieces are in place (looking at you, Taurus moon!) Luckily, Sag Jin is able to take your mind off of the money and onto less serious matters so you can enjoy all of life's little pleasures, of which he knows there are many. With your inner Aries/Taurus worlds battling for stability and adventure, your home needs to reflect each of these proclivities. Luckily, this sense of excitement and responsibility is something that you and Jin share, and you can both take comfort in knowing you could easily spend your Monday night curled up with a favorite movie or jetting off to Jeju Island for a day trip. Together, you cultivate a warm and inviting home that reflects your many travels and adventures, alongside all of the creature comforts you both need (RJ plushes galore). This pairing is one of uniqueness and a learned ability to not care what anyone thinks, allowing you to live peacefully in your own perfectly quirky, fun and beautiful world. Together, the fire of Aries and spontaneous, highly adaptable nature of Sag makes for a strong duo that can achieve great things so long as they have a business manager handling all of their affairs - making sure they don't go too overboard along the way.

oh and since you're doing a BTS Hogwarts house reading I want to give my own input that despite Yoongi being a Slytherin is a fandom fave I once read an entire longass argument for Yoongi being an unconventional Gryffindor (I remember some points being he's constantly talking about being led by his own beliefs rather than external factors and we know he feels his entire existence is to give to others) and I've never been able to see him the same since thanks for coming to my Ted talk - YJ

Okay you didn’t ask for this but you know what, I’m gonna take this as permission to ramble about my BTS HP House headcanons and you can’t stop me ⛄️🔥 

JIN is a Hufflepuff primary 🟡/ Gryffindor secondary 🔴He is steadfast, he’s there when you need him and is as essential to BTS as meat needs salt. You don’t realize it’s value till it’s missing though it’s hard to pick it out as a main ingredient of a dish. He’s intensely loyal and values interpersonal relationships. He’s good with people and puts them above ambition or knowledge or bravery. He also exhibits other Hufflepuff traits like being dependable, compassionate, genuine, accepting, well-rounded, and a hard worker. His Gryffindor characteristics are mainly his tendency to be chivalrous. He always steps in to bring attention to himself on shows when it seems like the boys are struggling or need a break even though he’s one of the most introverted members. He’s also playful when comfortable and tongue-in-cheek funny, traits I associate with Gryffindor.

YOONGI is a Hufflepuff primary 🟡/ Slytherin secondary 🟢Hear me out. We’re well aware of his Slytherin tendencies i.e., hard work, ambition, drive, determination, perfectionism, self-reliance, ruthlessness, thrives on praise etc. The only reason I think it’s a secondary placement is because I think he consciously prioritizes Hufflepuff characteristics above Slytherin ones and like Dumbledore said, it’s our choices that show us who we truly are more than our abilities. All my Astro/Tarot posts have painted Yoongi as someone who is immensely generous and wants to do good. He didn’t get tattoos because he feared it would obstruct the charity work he intends to do in the future. Yoongi is hardworking and determined and tenacious and loyal (RunBTS doesn’t count) and these are traits Slytherin shares with Hufflepuff. He’s also practical and patient and dependable and so soft and dorky. And, he isn’t unemotional, he just doesn’t flaunt his emotions, which is another Hufflepuff trait.

HOSEOK is a Gryffindor primary 🔴/ Slytherin secondary 🟢I know this is ironic considering Hobi is Scaredy Cat #1 in Bangtan buuuuuuuut we’ve got to remember that courage isn’t the absence of fear but rather courage despite it. Hobi displays plenty of Gryffindor characteristics: he’s Loud, passionate, playful, a leader. His style is spunky and rebellious and he just doesn’t care what you think. He’s intensely loyal and protective towards his friends, which are also traits shared by Slytherin. His other snakey characteristics include the scary ruthless intelligence my tarot cards say lurk underneath, his sadistic dom side,  the way he rebuffs interviewers (“Thanks for worrying about us :)”), the whole other J-Hope that came out when he got left behind at the gas station, etc. 

JOON is a Slytherin primary 🟢/ Ravenclaw secondary 🔵Although Namjoon has a really high IQ, Ravenclaw isn’t his primary placement because clumsy as he is, Joon isn’t the absentminded professor type nor is he driven by curiosity. He’s more the intelligent leader who knows which card to play at what time. More than knowledge for knowledge’s sake, Joon uses his mind to strategize and produce work that isn’t just artistic but also commercially viable. He is a leader with great ambition and drive who fiercely takes care of his own any way he can. When confronted, Joon would respond with his Slytherin side, not his Ravenclaw side. Thus I present that Joon’s Slytherin traits of hard work, drive, perfectionism etc. supercede his cognitive abilities.

JIMIN is a Slytherin primary 🟢/ Hufflepuff secondary 🟡Jimin is hella smart and very sensitive to how he presents himself. Every move he makes is calculated to control how he’s perceived. My tarot reads paint him as a Slytherin too - he’s distrustful of people and quite diabolical in some ways. Despite these traits, I think he’s a Hufflepuff secondary because Jimin does genuinely love and care for his Chosen Few. He can’t help but melt when called Mochi or resist mothering the rest and making sure they have plenty of photographs of themselves. His Slytherin tendencies take primary stage because that is the outer shell he uses to protect himself.

TAEHYUNG is a Gryffindor primary 🔴/ Slytherin secondary 🟢 Tae’s key characteristics are his authenticity and assertiveness. It takes a lot of courage to be one’s true self and Tae has mentioned before that if he could be remembered for one thing, he’d want to be remembered as someone who was courageous (← see Dumbledore quote above about choices revealing our selves.) Apart from courage, Tae’s other Gryffindor traits are his childlike joy, sense of adventure and wonder, honesty, playfulness, trusting and idealistic nature, and impulsiveness. I put him down as a Slytherin secondary rather than a Hufflepuff secondary because I think that the Hufflepuff traits he does have such as loyalty and good-heartedness overlap with his Gryffindor traits. Considering his savageness on WeVerse and charm, I think Slytherin is a more apt second placement.

JUNGKOOK is a Gryffindor primary 🔴/ Hufflepuff secondary 🟡Self explanatory!!! Kook is a buff, competitive, playful baby with the biggest heart!! He’s honest and passionate and funny and doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s trusting, stubborn, loyal, compassionate, well-rounded (!), hard working, and open minded. Gryffindor is his primary over Hufflepuff because of his gym bod and tendency to be more aggressive/competitive than a patient doormat.

Okay that’s it for my thoughts, now I’d love to hear yours!!! Send in your BTS HP House headcanons along with why you think so 🧙🏽‍♀️✨ It’d make for interesting discussion, I’m so curious to know how you perceive the boys and whether you agree with me or not 👀It’ll also be interesting to see if what my cards have to say match up with this, stay tuned for the tarot reading folks!! 

PS: I’d love a link to the Gryffindor Yoongi post!!! By any chance was it referring to the sortinghatchats system? I could see it making sense that way because Gryffindor primaries in this system are motivated by their own perception of what is moral and that kinda sounds like what you described? Apart from that, 100% agree on how he feels it’s his existence to give to others, my vedic astro posts on him scream that too.

Seven Is Our Lucky Number - OT7 Story Chapter 5

(Oh, hey look it’s my avatar)

Chapter 5: When Jungkook met Taehyung

A/N: ...so listen...I can’t control my urge to write TaeKook, okay?

Relationship: BTS X BTS (Taehyung X Jungkook focused)

Rating: G

Words: 2871

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

When the BTS members had been told that their Map of the Soul: 7 tour had been postponed due to the pandemic, they were disappointed. Well, disappointed would be an understatement, a better word to describe what they were feeling would be ‘devastated’.

They’d worked so long and hard on the concert and to have it taken away from them so suddenly hurt them in ways they didn’t know were possible. It felt as if everything was crumbling to pieces around them. Nothing could be done, however, as the reasons behind canceling were obviously beyond their control.

Each of the members had spent a few days after that sulking in their rooms, not really interacting with anyone. Perhaps it was selfish, but they needed to take some time to come to grips with the sudden change in plans.

It was the fourth day after the tour had been canceled that Taehyung marched around the dorm and forced everyone from their rooms. They (unwillingly on their parts) gathered in the living room and looked at Taehyung with expectancy.

Jin had Yoongi half-asleep in his lap on one couch, Jimin next to him and running his fingers through Yoongi’s blonde-streaked hair. On the other couch, Namjoon was resting his head on Hoseok’s thigh while Jungkook was on the dance leader’s other side, leaning on his shoulder. Every single one of them had prominent defeated pouts on their faces.

“Enough moping!” the second-youngest member shouted, hands on his hips. “I know we’re all sad - I’m sad as well - but ARMYs are probably sad too and I can’t sit around doing nothing when I know that in my heart.”

The rest of the members looked around at each other with guilty eyes, knowing that Taehyung was right. They couldn’t just sit around when people were in need of some happiness and, frankly, a distraction.

“You’re right, Tae,” Jimin said, straightening his back with determination. “I guess we could do some more V Lives, and interact more with fans on Twitter.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Namjoon’s eyes suddenly lit up with an idea, “We would have to talk to the company, but what if we streamed some of our old concerts for free?”

They’d all sat up in their seats by now, the sad sleepiness from before all but eradicated from the atmosphere thanks to Taehyung’s encouragement.

Seokjin smiled, “ARMYs would love that!”

“I - uh - I had an idea, too,” Taehyung announced a little shyly. With six sets of eager eyes on him, he continued, “We’ve always wanted to create an album completely by ourselves, but we’re normally just too busy to do that. We don’t know how long this quarantine is going to be, so why don’t we do it now?”

There was a pause where the six others kind of just looked at Taehyung in wonderment, jaws slack.

Jungkook was the first to break into a proud grin. He’d always loved it when his hyung’s creativity and intelligence showed itself in the form of a brilliant idea. People tended to forget just how smart Taehyung was, even his own boyfriends sometimes.

“That’s perfect, hyung!” Jungkook exclaimed, nearly bouncing up and down in his seat with excitement. “We could come up with the concept, a-and the music video - OH MY GOD, CAN I DIRECT THE MUSIC VIDEO?!”

Hoseok wrapped his arms around Jungkook and pulled him into his lap, kicking a whining Namjoon off of his leg with the movement. Hoseok couldn’t help himself when he kissed the maknae repeatedly on the back and side of his head and giggled. “Calm down, Kook-ah. We have a lot to talk about first before we decide anything. It would be really cool if we could choreograph our own dance, though.”

Everyone started blurting out their ideas as well before Jimin stopped them all to get his phone out from his pocket and write them all down.

It had been just over two months since that fateful day and progress on the new album was both good and bad. Good because they felt like they were pouring their hearts into every little detail and it was therapeutic in a way, to express themselves with complete honesty. Bad because it was extremely challenging. Without most of the BigHit staff who usually helped with the concepts, the flow of the album, and all the other extra things they hardly ever thought about, the members found that they had a newfound respect for their staffs’ roles in the entire production.

Jungkook was given the main task of working on the title track. He’d been the first to bring in a sample of what he’d been working on and it caught everyone’s attention. It was a collective decision to task the maknae with producing and writing the main song of their album. Jungkook had taken the challenge eagerly and though some nights when he was overtired and frustrated he regretted it, he pushed himself onward.

He was determined to prove to everyone, and himself, that he could handle such an important task.

“Jeon Jungkook!”

Jungkook startled out of the trance he was in when he heard the knocking at his studio door and the yelling. With a tired sigh, he got up and slugged over to the door, opening it up.

Taehyung stood there, looking uncharacteristically disappointed. “Do you know what time it is?”

“Um...like six o’clock?” Jungkook replied, rubbing at his dry eyes.

“No,” Taehyung said, “It’s two in the morning. You told hyungs that you would be back at ten.”

Jungkook didn’t even have the energy to be truly sorry, but he let out an “oops?” anyways.

“Now,” Taehyung forced his way into the room, “What part of the song is making you so pouty?”

Jungkook pouted even harder. “I’m not pouting.”

“Right.”

Jungkook sighed with all the feelings of frustration and the looming defeat of the night. “It just...it doesn’t sound right. Any of it.”

“Of course it doesn’t,” Taehyung replied, “You’ve been listening to it nonstop for hours. I’m sure it sounds like nothing more than a mess of instruments now.”

He wasn’t wrong. For the past hour, every time Jungkook pressed play on the song, it was no longer work he was proud of and instead was just an overwhelming mess.

“You need a break,” Taehyung continued, his expression softening at the maknae’s poor state. “Let’s go home, Kookie.”

Jungkook was nothing if not stubborn, especially when he was beyond tired, and perhaps if it were any of the other hyungs bugging him right now, he would refuse to listen to them. But this was Taehyung, his Taehyungie-hyung who looked at him with a worried and determined gaze, and maybe Jungkook had always been a little bit softer for him than the others.

“Okay,” he caved, shoulders and head dropping in defeat. Tonight was just a night of defeat for him, wasn’t it?

Taehyung could see just how exhausted Jungkook was, so while the younger saved his work and shut down his computer, the older gathered up all of his things. He helped the younger into his hoodie and wrapped an arm around his waist and led him out of the company building.

The older drove them home in the car the group shared for times like this, one hand on the wheel while the other one was running through Jungkook’s hair soothingly.

When they got back to the dorm, Taehyung waved off Seokjin and Hoseok who were both waiting to scold the maknae and took him right to his room. Taehyung helped Jungkook change into comfier clothing and then helped him wash his face and brush his teeth.

Jungkook would normally have protested to being taken care of like a baby, but in times like this he really just couldn’t do anything other than appreciate it.

Taehyung tucked the maknae into bed and pressed a loving kiss to his lips before he moved to leave.

Jungkook stopped him with a tug to his arm and gave him the big doe eyes that he knew none of his boyfriends could resist.

Taehyung crawled under the covers with him indulgently and immediately wrapped his limbs tightly around him like an octopus.

“Thank you for making me stop, hyung,” Jungkook mumbled. “I just...I thought I could do it.”

“The song is going to be great,” the older insisted. “You just needed a break from it. Maybe you’ll dream something about it.”

Jungkook hummed and shifted around until he could rest his head on the other’s warm chest.

There was a few minutes where the two of them just laid there, Taehyung rubbing up and down the maknae’s back with his big, warm hands. The lamp on his bedside table was still on, but both were too lazy and comfortable to attempt to turn it off at the moment.

Jungkook didn’t fall asleep right away, instead, he fell into this kind of halfway point between dreams and reality where he thought about memories from the past. Of course, with all the talk lately about the number seven and everything, his mind kind of drifted towards his own past with the members.

October 29, 2011

Jungkook was between lessons at the BigHit Entertainment company building and was sitting outside his vocal teacher’s room. He was keeping to himself as he always did, head down and scrolling through social media.

The hyungs didn’t use social media all that much, so they didn’t really understand the point of Tumblr, even though Jungkook really liked it. He stayed away from the inappropriate side of Tumblr, of course, and used it to follow some of his favorite photographers and artists.

“Hello!”

Jungkook looked up from his phone with wide eyes as he took in the young male approaching him. He had on a red sweater and had dark bangs that just fell into his eyes. The boy gave a bright boxy smile and took a seat right next to him.

“You’re Jungkook, right?” he asked.

“Um...yes?” it came out as more of a question than an answer and Jungkook internally scolded himself for his awkwardness.

“I’m Taehyung!” the boy introduced himself. “I’m joining your group. Namjoon-hyung said that you were probably waiting here and I wanted to meet you so...”

Jungkook nodded, now taking in the boy as a potential work partner. “Oh, it’s nice to meet you, Taehyung-ssi.”

Taehyung grinned, friendly and bubbly in a way that Jungkook couldn’t ever hope to be. “It’s nice to meet you, too. You’re born in ninety-seven, aren’t you? I’m ninety-five, so you can call me hyung.”

Jungkook was a little overwhelmed by the other’s open personality but stayed polite. “Okay, hyung.”

“Oh!” Taehyung eyes lit up as he caught sight of Jungkook’s phone, “You like Jung Minhyung, too? His paintings are amazing!”

Blinking in surprise, Jungkook glanced down at his phone in his hands and saw that he had stopped on a post of a painting. He recalled seeing this painting a couple of times before, but it had been in a mass post of works by the artist so he didn’t know the specific details about it.

It was a painting from the perspective of someone standing at the bottom of a mountain, looking up towards the top where the bright, glowing sun peeked over and lit up the sky in a fade of pink and orange and yellow.

“Um, yeah, I always thought his attention to detail was incredible,” Jungkook admitted shyly.

Taehyung shuffled closer and leaned in to point at specifics on the painting. “This one is one of my favorites because of the visible texture of the paint on the canvas. What’s the painting called again? I can never remember.”

Jungkook was curious about that as well and so he scrolled down a little bit so they could see the caption of the painting.

“’The Seventh Beginning’ represents the feeling of defeat we feel when trying to chase our dreams and find many hurdles in our way. The process of achieving one’s dream is rough and rocky, like the mountainous landscape depicted in the painting, but hard work eventually pays off and there are accomplishments and happiness awaiting at the top.”

After reading it, Jungkook turned to Taehyung and asked, “You like art?”

Taehyung smiled at him, “Yeah, it’s so interesting! I also like photography.”

Jungkook was pleased and kind of excited that the other was into similar things to him. Namjoon was probably the only one of the hyungs who was vocal about his interest in art, but no one else really got the same enjoyment out of it as Jungkook seemed to. Now, with this new member, he already had a lot more in common.

“Me, too,” Jungkook said quietly.

Taehyung really looked at him and took in his shy demeanor. He couldn’t help but find this boy adorable with his cute nose and big eyes. “There’s a photography exhibition next week a few blocks away from here. Maybe we could go together.”

Jungkook’s eyes widened in immediate fear, “Aren’t photography exhibitions usually pretty...high class?”

“Not this one,” Taehyung assured, “It’s casual. A few of the SNU students are putting it together. They gave me a flyer for it yesterday.”

For the few months that Jungkook had been in Seoul, living in BigHit dorms, he hadn’t once gone out to do something fun. He slept, ate, went to school, and went to the company building to practice. Then he’d repeat it all the next day. Occasionally, the members would all go out for dinner when they could afford it but that was the extent of his “fun”. Jungkook hadn’t even gotten close to anyone else at school or even any of the other trainees he saw on a regular basis. He was too focused on debuting and was frankly too shy to make friends. He always had been.

So, he surprised himself when he agreed to the outing with Taehyung. “That sounds...fun. I’d like that.”

And even though Taehyung had been smiling practically through their entire first meeting, the boy broke into a grin at Jungkook’s answer that lit up the whole room. Jungkook was only a little bit mesmerized by the beauty and contagiousness of it.

Jungkook reopened his eyes as the memory came to an end. “Hey, hyung?”

Taehyung hummed and the maknae could feel the vibrations of it in his chest.

“What do you think about this “seven” thing?”

Taehyung’s hand paused it’s soothing motions on the maknae’s back for just one moment before it resumed its pacifying touches. Jungkook caught it though, caught the little hiccup in his hyung’s movements.

The maknae lifted his head up to look at Taehyung with furrowed brows, “What?”

“Nothing,” the older man replied, giving a very convincing smile. “I, uh, I guess I believe it.”

“Really?” Jungkook replied, before continuing, “Wait, on second thought, this is you we’re talking about, I shouldn’t be surprised.”

Taehyung pinched him in the side with his free hand in reprimand but smiled, “Do you believe it?”

“That seven is some magical number for us?” Jungkook said before biting his lip. “Yeah, I do. I was just thinking about when we first met and that painting we were looking at-”

“-Was called The Seventh Beginning,” Taehyung finished for him. “I remember.”

Jungkook frowned at him, eyes narrowing in suspicion. “You know, whenever the group talks about it, you’re always really quiet. That’s not like you.”

The older man’s nonchalant facade slipped enough for the maknae to see that familiar look on his face. It was the same expression Taehyung had when they were younger and got caught doing something they weren’t supposed to be doing, whether that be sneaking out of the dorm past curfew or smuggling in sweets or just plain goofing off.

“Do you...know something?” Jungkook asked, confused by his hyung’s reaction.

Taehyung just looked at him for a minute, biting the inside of his cheek in thought. Then, he took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak-

“Babies! I’m here!”

Jimin burst through Jungkook’s bedroom door, in sweats and t-shirt, and his hair wet from a shower.

“Jiminie!” Taehyung exclaimed, turning his immediate attention towards his other boyfriend. “Wait, why are you still awake? It’s like three in the morning.”

Jungkook watched Taehyung with a thoughtful sigh. The older man had obviously taken Jimin’s appearance as a way to get out of their conversation, but Jungkook let it slide. For now, at least.

“Well, I could ask you the same thing,” Jimin countered as he walked over to the bed and unceremoniously dropped himself in between the two of them. “How about we just cuddle and sleep instead of talking. We all need the rest.”

The three of them shared gentle kisses and Jungkook reluctantly leaned over to turn off the light for the night. As they snuggled together and the other two’s breathing quickly evened out, Jungkook couldn’t help but wonder why Taehyung had been acting so strange about their lucky number seven.

A/N: So I’m just starting to write the rough draft for the final chapter and as stated in the tags I’m writing some OT7 smut ;) Let me know which pairings you’d like to see specifically and what you’d like to see from them and I will do my best to incorporate them.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
