A DARK AGE PREVIEW FOR PART 2 which is out now: link

// a dark tasm fan fiction // read first part here //

“Why are you here?” Mary Jane suddenly repeated the question you had first asked her, the one she had never actually answered. 

You paused for a moment, having only made it less than a foot away from her. “Visiting a friend.” You told her. If all went to plan, then it wasn’t technically a lie. 

Assuming there was little left for her to say, you took another step towards the brick building, only for her to speak again. 

“Peter?” 

There was something strange about the way she said his name. It was hesitant, as if she were worried that you’d say yes. You didn’t like it. 

“Yeah, actually.” You frowned slightly, unable to stop yourself from asking, “Why?” 

The look on her face was uncharacteristically dispirited. She refused to meet your gaze now as she stared past your shoulder at the Hall, “You’re not gonna find him in there.” 

In all the years you’d known Mary Jane, you’d never heard her sound so utterly normal, albeit a touch dejected, with her Miss. America-esque persona seemingly gone in an instant. 

It was uncomfortable. 

“Wait, do you know where he is?”  

“Of course I do.” She answered, quickly countering you, “But if you’re the one meeting him then shouldn’t you know where he is?” 

Your arms moved over your chest, an odd sense of jealousy settling over you. Mary Jane and Peter had never been particularly close, likely due to the lifelong rivalry that you and Gwen both had held with her, and so the idea of him even interacting with the girl left you feeling a bit unsettled. 

“Well, we were supposed to meet here,” you lied, shrugging a shoulder in the general direction of the building, “but it’s been a busy morning, so I guess he might’ve forgotten.” 

You paused, debating whether or not you should continue. There was a good chance that you didn’t want the answer to the question resting on the tip of your tongue, yet you decided to ask it anyway. “Were you just with him?” 

“Yes.” She answered too swiftly, cheeks darkening as she acknowledged her own speedy response. “We were supposed to go for lunch but–um,” Mary Jane cleared her throat, staring at her foot as she awkwardly kicked at the sidewalk, “he had to cancel… Said he was gonna be too busy developing photos all afternoon.” 

Her too-perfect face screwed up in an unsightly sort of way, and you almost felt guilty for making her feel like Peter had ditched her for you. 

Almost. 

Another part of you just felt sickly satisfied, taking great pleasure in her sorrow. You focused on that, finding it much more pleasant than letting your brain drift to the thoughts of why Peter and Mary Jane were going to have lunch together in the first place. 

“Mm, that sucks.”

planning on posting the next part of a dark age tomorrow or the next day if anyone is still interested in it! 11,500+ words for the upcoming part and i'm honestly super stoked for it even if no one else is lol

Mobs/boys thoughts

We have a couple of asks about this topic, so I’ll post them separately! Thank you for your questions <3

Anonymous asked:

I just finished the first hallowen event, and I think it might have been the most stressful twst plot ever. The magicam monster were such rude entitled pricks that at times it was hard to read through.

But I have to admit that these kind of characters also bring out some fun potential scenarios. Have you ever thought about what kind of shenanigans they might have gotten up to? Idia seems like the easiest target of course, the perfect introvert to put against an horde of attention-seeking magimons. Also, I feel like I'm turning into "the mob anon" since I'm always bringing these kind of questions. I guess we'll see...

Mob Anon (yes), it was super stressful! I was so mad the entire time lol Yana is too good at writing mob characters that act exactly like mobs from hentai would act. This is the thought I was holding onto with my entire will just so I survive this insanity lol

I remember watching a jp video with a summary of this event and how the guy (who made it) went “alright, let’s kill them” (yoshi, koroshimashou), and that was the biggest mood.

However (if it wasn’t obvious by my mob comment earlier), I do agree that these characters bring out fun potential scenarios. I don’t remember a lot of details in this event, but I do remember being surprised that we haven’t seen a horde of magimons harassing Idia. But then we saw Idia trying to calm down Ortho who was about to literally murder these people, and yeah I guess that also makes sense lol But still! Imagine a bunch of guys touching Idia’s costume everywhere, commenting on it, manhandling Idia to take all kinds of embarrassing pictures together… I wonder if the boost of confidence that Idia gets from being the Pumpkin Knight would be enough for him to handle them.

I also remember them being very nasty with Leona and touching him while he was sleeping, and it honestly felt like Yana wanted us to think about them groping him inappropriately, touching his hair, rubbing against his face, overall treating their pirate ship as if this is some kind of ‘hole in the wall”, except there aren’t any holes there well other than—

Oh, and also that one guy who managed to touch Malleus and was super stoked about it! He touched Malleus Draconia woah!! Imagine how happy he would get if he touched him some more? Imagine how good of an example he set, and how quickly everyone would’ve started to rub against Malleus’ chonky tail, touch his horns, put fingers into his mouth to touch his teeth. It’s almost a bummer Malleus got mad so quickly that he almost killed everyone lol Sebek raised an army to protect his dignity so quickly, god it was a funny scene.

Vil had a bunch of fanboys, right? Those who ignored the “no cameras” sign and started taking pictures. Vil is way too good at handling harassers, so maybe he wouldn’t have a problem, but imagining him being disrespected by ill-mannered horny simps is always such a joy that I will dream about it…

I don’t remember what other guys went through… but based on how I’m talking about it now, it sounds as if I enjoyed these assholes ruining stuff for the boys lol No, screw them. But thanks to them we were forced to think about this.

Anonymous asked:

what kind of mobs do you like for the bottoms, or even just in general? ex like ugly bastards or nrc students for riddle

Oh Anon, if it was up to me, I would give away an ugly bustard for each of the bottoms for free… and they would go “wtf I don’t need this” lol When we’re talking about mobs, my first association is always this kind of man – gross, ugly, unpleasant and piglike. But Twst is also very good at other kinds of mobs: random guys always end up acting like some kind of assholes from hentai… and even regular background nrc students act this way… it’s so hard to pick one kind for each boy 😭

But I’ll try~ These are the kind of mobs that I think of when I’m thinking about our bottoms:

Riddle – Heartslabyul students (angry, bullying and rebellious)

Deuce – delinquent gang (both his old one, his rivals and just some random jerks), some gross pervy old men from his hometown that use his guilt against him

Leona – Savanaclaw students?? And his magift team

Jamil – Scarabia students (also angry at him), wealthy ugly bastards; I have a post about all of it.

Vil – Savanaclaw students (ironically), faceless obsessive fanboys (could be both young guys and older gross men), powerful older ugly bastards from the industry that abuse their power

Epel – delinquents (he and Deuce had a juicy moment with them in canon…), magift team, any group of big guys honestly, Epel looks good surrounded by big men

Idia – Ignihyde students (either fanboying over him or punishing him for being cocky), gross otaku guys, powerful older ugly bastards

Silver – his classmates manipulating him into “getting along”, Diasomnia students

Malleus – oh he is the most difficult to imagine in these situations for me, but he isn’t immune to mobs: Diasomnia students, powerful older ugly bastards (when Malleus was younger though).

[impala-dreamer]

As soon as supernatural ended, every actor held hands, formed a chain, and migrated to the Boys seeking refuge. You let one spn alumni into a project, and they come with buddies. I'm sobbing.

Well, let's be fair here... Mr. Kripke loves his buddies! lol

I'm all for it, honestly. We started with Jim Beaver and went on to grab Ackles and Benedict and JDM and I'm super fucking stoked for the new season like I can't even explain how excited. do you remember the disney commercial with the little kid in bed "I"M TOO EXCITED TO SLEEEPPP!" ? that's me. lol

[khaleesiofalicante]

Well, that was some plot twist, can I just say that Cami and Antoine were the real MVPs of this chapter? I loved every single thing they did and said in this chapter and I really really hope we see more of Antoine and Abigail, they are the only sane couple of this story (at least for now).

But I have soo many thoughts!

Most of the next generation, especially the kids you chose, to live in the same building has got to be one of my favourite plot twists. I'm shooketh. This has so much potential. Regine and Arthur? Kincaid wooing Arthur? Kincaid and Joan training and Arthur with Regine thirsting after them? Regine working through her feelings and becoming a better person? Lance witnessing Kincaid being a decent person and maybe being somewhat similar to him? Them hiding from the adoring crowd to a closet or something? Theia and Kincaid being amazing siblings in law? That storyline is a major game changer and I'm thrilled to see how you'll explore it!

I love love love Gwen and I'm so glad she's back! And telling Lucifer to respect Lance? Queen behavior right there

Does every Knightstorm have to be a bigoted nightmare? Blood supremacist, homophobe, what's next? No offence Mikkel but we have enough problems to worry about without you trying to create a cult. On a side note, super stoked to see what happened to him and Hermes. I have a feeling they used to be close? And most likely it was platonic but maybe a little romantic too? Maybe?👀

Here are some things that feel like they're connected (but probably aren't): 1)Theia mentions in LBAF 5 that she "sees" Lance dating a mundane blonde girl, like a Barbie girl, which reminds me of Regine 2)It's been mentioned a lot that Regine/Lance were going to be married/parabatai by Madeleime when they were kids a lot 4)Arthur sees Lance with a parabatai rune. I honestly don't even have an actual theory about this, those things just seem to connect?

Speaking of the parabatai rune, if Lance and Arthur don't end up becoming parabatai(I can see Atlas figuring the runes problem) Kincaid and Lance kind of make sense? Not because they are close but because parabatai are supposed to share a soul. And both Kincaid's and Lance's soul is Arthur. So, in a way they're already sharing a soul.

Another crazy theory: The prophecy isn't talking about Lance/Kincaid but about Lucifer/Micheal and Lance and Kincaid clash is just the beginning of the war between the other two. Or when Kincaid burns Lance, it would destroy the pandemonium but Lance would live, and it would be the prince of darkness' demise because he would no longer be a portal? Or even that it would destroy Lucifer and not Lance? Can Kincaid use heavenly fire to hurt Lucifer?👀

I was so convinced that Joseph would come back I just had a feeling! Oh, I can't wait to see his interaction with Madeleine and how he reacts to what he hears everything she has done. I can see Madeleine believing that it's not really Joseph or at first believing it and after he tells her what she's doing is insane, her being convinced it's a ploy by Lance. But that means his death is a canon event 😭

I am DYING just picturing how the conversation between Max and David planning the trial went. How they came up with using the alliance rune. That would've been an amazing scene, I love these two

Okay, while it was very in character, the Lance/Max interaction I didn't like. Because I feel like Max should have listened to Lance. He was the only person Lance would've told the actual reason to. The only person that could assure Lance that what he did was pointless. He did the same thing with Magnus in LBAF II and the "I hurt the people I love so they should stay away from me" mentality Lance has adopted screams Max so he really should've heard him out. Because it wasn't a "bullshit excuse" it was an actual reason that makes Lance feel bad about himself. And Max had an opportunity to comfort him and ruined it. But Lance needed a good whooping. I hope he talks to David about this. Let David do the comforting part.

Lance being happy about Arthur breaking up with Kincaid, while completely understandable and in character also feels wrong. He should've asked, because Arthur is so terrified and when Lance shut Theia out it was because of very similar reasons. But he wasn't alone in it. He had Gwen and Arthur. Arthur is alone. And he doesn't deserve that. And for a really long time he chose it. He hid it from other people. But now they know. So they have a say in it. To question, to help , to support him. They have an opening now and I really hope they take it. David asking why Arthur broke up with Kincaid made me so happy. I really hope he questions Arthur a little deeper about it. Because Lance and Max won't. And I get why. But someone has to. David really is holding them all together isn't he?

Every other villan in this story doesn't hold a candle to Lucifer. The guy is not here to fuck around. He kept to the point, he didn't have unnecessary dramatics. I can really see why he is considered the smartest out of all of them. Again, he DOES NOT fuck around. And that was crystal clear when Lance said he hates feeling unwanted and Lucifer made it sound like he doesn't want him. He used his insecurity against him and whether he meant it or not it was a very strong start for him to manipulate Lance. Never underestimate Lucifer indeed.

On a happier note, a small reminder that this isn't the first time Lance gives Theia flowers! But it's the first time they reach her-bad Kincaid

I live in Dream Denial Daydream world. It's like Barbie's world, except in this world all the good guys that came back to life can stay with zero consequences and only the assholes have to return to the dead. Some of them sooner than others. Pwease🥺

The Magnus changing the canon event- his dreams going away- Max treating Alec like that are things I have locked away in a little box and I refuse to revisit them until we get to LBAF 7. But Magnus not having these dreams makes me super worried about Other Magnus and the epilogue will probably let us know about what happened. I am so scared about that🙃

I can't believe that we are getting to the end of the first part! It was a wild ride and I loved every minute of it. Anxiously waiting for the epilogue and then it's back to Mavid fluff, I can't wait🥰

AHHHH LBAF ASK FROM VICKY. HEHEHE I LOVE THESE.

Cami and Antoine are indeed the MVPs. Really out there doing what needs to be done. We'll definitely see Antoine and Abby more...Maybe on a double date 👀

This is one of my favourite things about the next season (yeah I am saying it now too). I've been waiting to bring them all together. There's just gonna be a lot of bonding and I'm soooo pumped about it hehe.

Gwen, we missed you 🥹

Knightstorms being cunts, who else is surprised? Hermes and Mikkel is platonic I swear 🤣

They are not connected hehe. But then again I lie all the time so who knows?

Lance having a parabatai is hilarious to me idk why he'll be like "tying my soul to someone ew" But i'd love that for him

I've heard this theory before. I must say it's quite popular 👀

I remember when Joseph died, I let it slip that it's a canon event, I'm glad none of yall remember it kdjnkjsnjkdcs

I NEED A ONE-SHOT.

You're very right about this. It's in character, but it's also not the sensible thing to do. I feel like Other Max would've handled this before (he thinks with his head whereas Current Max very much still thinks with his heart)

Same thing. In character, but like bro why did you do that? I think Lance might have been too relieved to think too deeply about it. But maybe he'll start noticing how the break up affects Arthur? When mavid find out Arthur broke up with Kincaid, Max asks 'when' and David asks 'why' - a small hint there that David is indeed worried and doesn't understand why Arthur would do that. Hopefully they'll have a chat.

Lucifer 🫡

YOU REMEMBERED!

Wouldn't that be nice oof

Yeah all of it not good. very bad. terrible.

Wild ride is definitely right. Thank you for sticking with me through it 🥹🧡

A quelqu'un que j'adore et que je n'aurai jamais....

Hello, the coolest human ever.

So, this is the guy who's like the coolest ever, a social butterfly, and supposedly the most attractive, like, seriously! Well, it's kinda true, that's why you have so many friends. Anyway, I just wanna say thanks for being super friendly and incredibly humble. And don't you dare stop being that awesome after reading this, okay? Keep it up, 'cause there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. And don't laugh, I'm pretty sure you'll be surprised, speechless, and laugh your head off reading this peak of comedy.

At first, I thought you were just one of those regular some random ppl who wanted to be friends with me, and I'm really thankful that you're so close to me rn. Seriously, Jul, you're a good person, humble, easygoing, and natural cool. No wonder you have so many friends, 'cause you're great at making people feel comfortable around you. But, Idunno since when I kinda started catching feelings for you, and at first, I thought it was just me admiring you. It's also awesome how much I've grown to adore Jay, honestly, thanks to you. I wanna thank you for making me admire Jay so much; he's truly someone worth looking up to. But then, after a few days went by, I was always stoked when you replied to my mentions. It made me so happy when your name popped up in my notifications and mentions. Sometimes, I'd read your messages first, but I'd purposely take a bit longer to reply, you know, to not make it too obvious that I was catching feelings for you. Hahaha. I feel so stupid for getting attracted to you, and I keep denying it... but here I am, still liking you after 27 days and counting. After getting to know you, I realized that you really deserve much greater love. You're too good to be hurt by people, and I don't wonder why people around you want to protect you because you deserve the best.

I thought this would only last a few days, and I was adamant about un-crushing myself because I felt so dumb. I have some pretty strong reasons for that. I've been questioning myself why I caught feelings for someone through mere mentions; I've never been like this before. I swear, Jul. I didn't have the courage to come up to you 'cause I figured I'd never have a chance. But just talking to you like a buddy already puts a big smile on my face. Being friends with you makes me super happy. I actually feel grateful because, for the first time, I've secretly liked someone all this time, and I'm turning it into a new experience, hahaha.

But, here I am, writing this, not expecting anything... I just wanted to get it off my chest. If you feel uncomfortable around me after reading this, it's okay, I understand... thanks for taking the time to read it. I want to apologize if maybe you're reading this and you already have a s/o; I didn't know about that, I'm truly sorry for them. After this confession, I won't be chasing after you, flirty or anything. If you still wanna interact with me, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you, Julian. Stay be my friends, okay? Pretty please.. I hope you're still willing to be friends with me, and I won't burden you with this... I promise. I'll always support u here even u have a s/o already; I'm genuinely happy for your happiness. It'll sting a bit, but being avoided by u would hurt even more..

By the way, I'll never send this note, maybe I'll just leave it alone until the day I laugh and cringe reading this. I don't want to make you uncomfortable, I value our friendship and I don't want to burden you... I'm so sorry for having crush on you.. but remember, someone saw something special in you, and that's a beautiful thing. Even if you're not ready for it now, their feelings are a reflection of your worth. You did nothing wrong at all, Julian. Thank you for being you.

Until the time comes, Kilian.

[mermaidsirennikita]

I'm actually a little worried over the fact that Bridgerton is gonna be the standard for period dramas nowadays, like, that's how period dramas are gonna look like (and I'm not even talking about the diversity part, I'd ve very happy with a show actually giving poc people the protagonism they deserve and not call it diversity and having the only White character to be the main character of the whole show) we have things like The Buccaneers and that horrible Emma film Netflix made and wonder if that's the quality we are gonna have now

Mr Malcom's List was amazing, I love everything about that film, it was so well done

Honestly? I'm not that worried about it. Period dramas have always been hit or miss for me, and I think that while big hits always have an impact on their genres, they often don't have as massive an impact as we may think--because shows that try to follow them underperform, tastes change, and other big hits happen.

An example I'd think of is The Tudors, which... I'm not gonna lie to you. Like it or not, is probably one of the most impactful, if not THE most impactful period dramas we've seen in the past 20 years. It revived the idea of the high end period piece soap for an American audience--and it reminded people that period pieces don't have to be Masterpiece, BBC, ITV, whatever. They could be super sexy and super dramatic and super bloody. You didn't have to be a stickler for history.

That show got a lot of viewers and a lot of buzz--and honestly, it went a long way towards launching the careers of Henry Cavill and Nat Dormer. Showtime tried to replicate it with The Borgias, but obviously had much less success there. HOWEVER, I always think it's a little unfair that GoT gets credit for making period pieces hot again when a) it's not a period piece and you can tell its core audience doesn't associate it with those because of how much they talk about the dragons and the ice zombies and b) The Tudors had already stoked that flame, and then the general Tudor frenzy grabbed onto it, which is why Starz has been able to get mileage out of its PGregs/Tudor-general shows for so long. THOUGH! I hope the flopitude of their last Elizabeth show means they slow up.

You see other mini trends too--Vikings was a big hit, and because of that you got The Last Kingdom and its ilk and Vikings: Valhalla. Vikings really was nothing like The Tudors, aside from the fact that it had somewhat explicit sex for its network (nothing like The Tudors, but still) and centered on a piece of shit who treated women like garbage and needed!!! Sons!!!!!!!! It walked through a door I think The Tudors left open, but it wasn't as clear a followup as The Borgias or the PGregs shows were.

So while I think Bton is obviously having an impact, as seen with Buccs, I'm not worried about its long term impact. I HOPE we see more diverse period dramas continue to be a thing, though I feel that really is less a thing we can thank Bton for (see: Mr. Malcolm's List) and more a trajectory that was brewing already. I mean, Shondaland had technically already done it with Still Star-Crossed, a show I didn't like... at all. But it was diverse.

I mean, shows like Mary and George on the horizon are nothing like Bton and hopefully (if they're good) will have an impact. I think we're slooooowly seeing the rise in more explicit, less woebegone period dramas (not movies) centering queer people. Gentleman Jack got cancelled, obviously, but I think it still made strides on that front, and Mary and George will obviously be very queer but also very much not a "sad queer man is closeted and sympathetic but doomed" narrative. We haven't seen many shows depict a man actually using his sexuality to get ahead the way women are often depicted doing in shows like The Tudors--and at his mother's urging, versus his father's as is usually the case with a narrative like Anne Boleyn's.

Things just come and go in waves. I mean, watch The Artful Dodger if you're super worried about more romantic period dramas, it was so fucking refreshing. I do kind of wonder if the romance in that show was upped BECAUSE Bton had success, but it's so much better than anything they offered, all the while focused on a period of history we never see in international TV (1800s Australia), doing a fun little revamp of a classic story (Oliver Twist), with a diverse cast and a focus on like... medicine? But medicine in a way that feels less procedural and more narrative? Medicine and THEFT? Medicine and Theft and Kissing? And putting a salve on her inner thigh and blowing on it in an alley? And sexual tension during medical exams? (The 30 seconds of Jack and Belle tensing while he sits behind her and listens to her heartbeat in her darkened room after she strips out of her dress is better than anything Bton offered in two seasons.)

And additionally--if books are any indication, I actually don't know that Bton is having that big an effect. Historical romances are going through a slump right now; the most Bton has done is push Julia Quinn's books and offer a "if you like Bton" comp for some books, which...

Yes, Buccs got renewed, but I don't know that it... has had much of an impact? I don't see it mentioned much on social media, which could be my circles, but I also don't see it mentioned much on sites that normally push streaming shows, so. I don't know. I've yet to see a Bton acolyte (and there have been few) actually make an impact and stick around the way some of the Tudor spawns did, or the way shows that followed Vikings did, for that matter.

1. Personally agree about your opinion on matching tattoos with Colby. I’d think you’d want a tattoo that is unique to yourself. I get Colby can have made an impact on your life but like, you gonna be 50 and when your kid asks why you have a giant X on your back your gonna say cuz of a random guy you fanned over as a youth? Idk I have tattoos and some stand for people, but they are always a unique design that I understand. Not a copy paste situation.

2. Let’s just leave Kat and Sam alone to figure out their own relationship. Everyone has ups and downs. Maybe Sam was supposed to come visit her fam too and didn’t since Colby might need support so she went alone. It’s okay, they’ll sort it out and we just have to wish them the best either way.

3. I find it super sweet that even Jakes mom comments her support for Colby. I’m glad Jake is there for him even if it may be a smaller way than he would have back in the trap house days.

4. Finally, Kian being a dad is so weird but also I somehow think it suits him?? Like he’s gonna be a cool dad that really cares for him kid. I think Colby left a nice comment cuz while he doesn’t want kids any time soon I’m sure, he always talks about wanting a family and can understand Kians excitement. He mentioned how relieved he was the cancer didn’t affect his fertility in any way so when he is ready, I bet he will be so stoked to have his first child.

Sorry for the long one!!

hey, i don't mind a long ask. god knows my response will probably be longer lol

one. i think the reason i find it so weird is honestly bc colby's tattoos mean something to him. so to get the same one as him, sometimes in the same place, just feels off-putting. like, they don't mean the same thing to you as they do to him. you got the same tattoo as him just bc you like him. like, getting the x is fine, but getting it in the same spot is a bit silly to me.

in particular, i don't get getting the heart one. that one is literally just the simple pick-up logo. you're getting a pick-up artist's logo just bc colby got it and changed the meaning a bit for himself bc it also means protecting your heart. i just…. don't get it tbh. do whatever you want, i guess.

two. at this point, i've said all i can about sam and kat. i hope they're doing well. and that's all i can really say.

three. i saw jake's mom also commented on kian's post about being a dad. she's so sweet. she's like a friend's mom that comments on all your stuff just to be nice. i love her haha

four. i think it was just a bit surprising to see him announce it. i kinda thought that jc would have a kid before kian, but it doesn't really matter. i'm happy for him regardless.

and i think it's super sweet that colby was so concerned about having kids and making sure he could still have kids. not too many men actually look forward to being a father, so to see him want to definitely be one is sweet.

i saw txt in fukuoka and they were so good! they performed pretty much all of my favorite songs so i was super happy. most of them were the japanese versions obviously, with some of their original japanese language songs as well, and some of them were the original korean songs when they didnt have a japanese version. i'm super stoked that they performed 一つの誓い 'we'll never change', the choreography was super creative. tho i was kinda disappointed by the absolute lack of whining during 'the killa'... yeonjun and soobin yall need to throw that shit back if youre gonna do some afrobeats!!!!

also they were super good at japanese??? trilingual kings?? idk im not a native speaker but they seemed fucking good to me. i didnt understand everything they said tho i wont lie 😂 learned a new word from them, 'bari', apparently its fukuoka dialect for 'very'.

i have to say tho, the vibes at japanese concerts are so different than US concerts... it was so quiet lmao. if it were in the US i'd consider it a 'dead' crowd but i think its normal for japan? everyone was very quiet except for fanchants and clapping/quiet cheering at the end of the songs. i usually enjoy the energy of concerts and a lot of that comes from the audience, so it was kinda strange for me. the members would shout "MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE!!!" and shit like that and there would be a short quiet cheer from the crowd, no crazy screaming or shouting lmaooo

but it was also kinda nice because you could hear the singing and music a LOT better than in the US where everyone in the crowd is screaming and singing along all the time. also, they didn't allow photos or videos until the very end, so no one had their phones out and you could see very clearly. in the US a lot of ppl basically film the whole concert which gets a bit annoying.

the ticketing system was also weird for me. apparently for most idol concerts in japan they have multiple different rounds of ticket sales, the first one goes to the fanclub and then eventually to general sales which is what i did. i couldn't choose my seat, it was automatically assigned based on when u bought the ticket, so since i bought one of the last available general sale tickets i was in the very last row lmaooo. honestly i could see everything pretty well so i didn't mind, but it was strange not being able to select a specific seat. they also only accepted physical tickets, so i had to get it printed out at the convenience store lol, but thats how a lot of stuff is in japan so its not that wild to me.

overall, as someone who enjoys the energy of concerts as it helps me get more into it, i think i prefer the US concerts, even though there are definitely pros and cons to both places. but i'm glad i went, and if TXT comes back again while i'm living here, i'll definitely go again! maybe i'll join the fanclub and get a lightstick.

had a legendary string of bad luck in fukuoka though, i lost my fucking residence card in the stadium 😭😭😭 its a bureaucratic and language nightmare trying to find that shit. missed the first song or two of the concert bc of it... oh well.

A Day Out with Yukari

for Fumo Friday, I figured I'd share some pics from Yukari's first day trip with me earlier this week. Check it out under the cut!

I got up bright and early to catch the bus. I didn't sleep all that well, honestly. I've been having an uptick in nightmares. Even the night before Yukari and Miko arrived in the mail, I dreamed that my package arrived damaged, and instead there was a bootleg Nitori fumo that was weirdly slimy. I used to keep a dream journal regularly a few years back, but i find it hard to keep up with now.

First, I took Yukari to my favorite local coffee shop. Its a great place to haunt while I wait for my shift at work to start. We picked up a large hazelnut latte!

After that, I took Yukari to work with me, and I don't have any pics of that since I'm not tryna doxx myself lol. I was pretty excited to show her to one of my regulars, since he's a big Touhou fan too. He's partially to blame for reigniting my hyperfixation with it, since he recommended I play Mystia's Izakaya. He was so stoked to see Yukari, and we had a nice chat about fumos and other stuff for a bit.

Other than that, my shift was pretty ordinary. some of our seasonal halloween candies came in and my coworkers and I got to plan how we were going to display them. But I was mainly looking forward to going to the movie theater right after, which is just a short walk down main street.

Yukari and I saw Deadpool and Wolverine together! All of my close friends were really hyping it up to me, so despite not bothering to watch anything Marvel related for the past few years, I decided "what the hell". Tickets are super cheap at this place on tuesdays anyhow. I smuggled in some rice cakes, a big tin of spicy cheddar balls, and some canned mango boba tea. But I was mostly too absorbed into the movie to eat any of it. It was a lot of fun, i went in with low expectations but I ended up really liking it. In retrospect, I'm not too surprised cus I really liked the other two Deadpool movies way back when they came out.

After the movie I stopped at a different coffee shop, one that one of my coworkers works at as her second job. She wasn't in, but I got a nice hot chocolate with espresso. I didn't take a picture cus I was in a hurry to catch the bus home. Definitely will next time though. All in all, it was a pretty good day!

Bonus picture of Miko and I back at my favorite haunt taken this morning, this time with a book I bought the other day. A horror novel called "The Eyes Are The Best Part" by Monika Kim. I'm already almost done with it, I've been basically glued to its pages since I started it. If I remember, I'll have to give my thoughts on it over on my horror sideblog.

That's about it, enough yapping from me lol. Happy Fumo Friday everyone!

I was scrolling my dash today and thought "man, they haven't replied in a hot minute. Hopefully everything's okay." Then I had to stop and think. And I realized I never actually sent what I meant to! I feel quite dumb 😭😭

I'm doing just about as well as any other semi-sane 20 something year old with the usual sleeping problems can whilst working 48 hour weeks 😂😂 Ya know, there's a certain joy in working almost 10 hours more than your elderly coworker Every. Single. Week. And yet still being told by them that you're "ToO yOuNg tO bE TiReD." 🙄🙄😮‍💨

So how have you been? Hopefully things have settled down somewhat and are going fairly decent? Cosplaying always seems pretty fun, but I get too self-conscious to try it 😅 Do you make your own cosplays or do you just get the things you need? I'm so sure I didn't word that very well, but I know there are people who handmake a lot of their stuff, while there are others who get the already made pieces? Either way, it seems like fun 🤩

HEY!! long time again so sorry! my lifes been all over the place honestly... to answer the cosplay question I do a bit of both! I'm not confident enough to make full suits however I do enjoy making props and accessories for them, the clothing itself I'd order from somewhere I trust that can guarantee much better quality than I can lol. Works been insane for awhile and my home life went through some bumps, but now it's more peaceful and things are working themselves out.

Definitely feel your pain on the working part though, I always hear stupid comments like that whenever someone hears me mention that like, my back hurts, or my legs/arms are sore. Etc. People can be really ignorant :(

I hope you've been doing okay, I'll be around to respond a bit more now that things are going a bit better :) also super stoked because Wanderer's rerun in genshin is tmrw and I'm going for C6 💙

[sweetbriermouse]

FINALLY!!!! I HIT 168.8lbs this morning! I also figured out some of my problems and will be fixing then over the next 3 months with some help! I'm back to the gym this week since I have been careful over the weekend and am almost completely recovered!

One of my vehicles, the one that broke down, is now running again with no shop visit so that's amazing! I will still get it a full workover asap but now I don't have to replace a transmission like I was worried! My other vehicle still needs tires and a shop visit because the last one fucked it up but it took me months to realize so now I can't do anything but go elsewhere. Brightside, I found the exact tires I need brand new for $70 cheaper per tire than quoted! And my quote was supposedly discounted so thats another big bonus! I'll be replacing them end of the month and getting the car into a shop hopefully around or just after the new years.

With my raise and my increase of hours next month I will also be taking over 100% of utilities for the household and just over half of the mortgage payments! Currently my mother owns the house and does live here though she isn't home most of the time, but the house will be given to myself and my partner when she moves as was the plan since purchase as the 3 of us went in together on it to avoid being homeless or forced to move all 3 in different places. My mother never intended to stay beyond a few years, though it's a positive relationship so we don't mind sharing a home. Her debt has gotten a bit too large though so my being able to take on almost $750 of the household bills and my partner covering internet, trash, household groceries, and miscellaneous expenses as well frees up a good chunk for her so she can pay down or off those debts!

I am going to be launching explicit sites at the end of this month with 3 tiers of subscriptions as well. I won't post much on here about them because that's not what this blog is for, but I do wanna share that I am doing it because to me it is a huge deal! I am excited because it's honestly very freeing to me to post that sort of content, not to mention boosting my self confidence more because while I highly critique my own work I also refuse to ever modify it. I don't use filters on posts unless they are obvious things like the snapchat butterflies or horns, I don't reshape or touch up things because I don't want to warp my self image more than I do as is, and when I do look back on them later I tend to love myself. Any extra income from it also means extra payments on debt or extra savings built up since regardless of how much I make I never plan to budget any stable income from it nor do I ever intend for it to be my main source of income.

Additional goodies for 2024, I GOT ACCEPTED INTO MY STATE UNIVERSITY!!!!! I'll be attending for the fall 2024 semester and getting my bachelor's in accounting followed by my masters and a CPA license! I'll be speaking with an advisor in a couple weeks about 100% online options so I can maintain my full time job, and I will be heavy hitting the preemptive studies! I have an accounting for dummies book, some podcasts, and additional resources and am super duper stoked to study so it's an easier transition into the degree!

I'm also doing outfit and glow up boards on punterest, spending more time on myself when I have the energy, and working on different things that improve my energy! 2023 is pre glow up prep! Learn how to have one, start forming the habits! 2024 is glow up season! Getting out of debt, getting into positive tracks, improving my quality of life and self love, and being my best self! No more lazy fits and messy styles, no more feeling and looking blegh. I'll be stepping up my game three times as much as now! Baby steps for now full run for the new years!

Hi there! This is your secret santa (🌻)! I can only ask from my main blog, but otherwise I'm over at @thespiritualmultinerd for mixed fandoms and the '60s-'70s stuff.

I hope you got your Christmas shopping done and that you'll have a wonderful day today! A bass guitar for yourself sounds like a great idea ^^ Do you know how to play or are you learning?

I listened to the whole album, but was also busy doing other things at the same time so didn't listen very closely, but I definitely want to go back to it and listen more to 10cc during next year overall! Thank you so much for sharing things about them and making me more invested!

Aaw, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of my favourites too, though not one I have listened to as much as some of their other songs. But it just has that.... that sound to it. When The Levee Breaks is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs too! I was reluctant to listen to Stairway at first when I was getting into Zeppelin because that's the popular one, but then it came on on a playlist and..... well okay it's great. x)

Aww haha, The Chipmunk Song is really cute! 😄

We did all the celebrations yesterday (I'm Swedish and Christmas Eve is the big day here), so today is mostly dedicated to TV and candy, though we have some more gifts to wrap for friends we haven't seen yet. What are your plans for today? (also no worries of course if you don't have time to reply to this today 😅). I hope you'll have a wonderful day anyway - Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻✨

Howdy! pleasure to formally meet you ☺️

Sadly, i’ve been stuck indoors the past few days due to bad weather so i didn’t get any christmas shopping done. i’m hoping the weather’s a bit tomorrow so i can finally get my bass guitar! i’m super stoked!! 😄 i already know it’s gonna be love at first sight 🥰

and i’m happy to hear you listened to DB. that entire album is just *chefs kiss* bellissimo 😘🤌🏼✨ i love that not only did Eric wrote most of the songs on that album, but he also engineered/produced it! UGH! that man has it all..extremely talented, handsome, smart, funny, hardworking and so devoted to his career, all the more reason for me to fall for him more and more everyday 😍 anyways, if you like 10cc’s stuff i recommend listening to “How Dare You” “Sheet Music” and “The Original Soundtrack” next! all three are very brilliant albums and ones that really catapulted my obsession with those 10cc boys ☺️

I remember writing an essay about While My Guitar back in 10th and surprisingly I got a good grade on it. The lyrics are so profound, I think. One can interpret that song so many ways. Stairway is always a classic, but I mainly like their other not-so-popular songs. Since getting back into Zep, I’ve been repeatedly listening to their first three albums and I gotta say, every time I revisit their catalog I always end up gaining a new appreciation for their music. Lately, I’ve really obsessed with No Quarter (honestly, it’s mainly bc of jpj lol). JP’s live piano solo for No Quarter has definitely given me a newfound appreciation for him as an artist. Funny thing and I might’ve mentioned this already but, when I first got into Zeppelin years ago I only became obsessed with them bc of Jimmy Page then I went through a short Robert Plant phase, then the last time I was on my Zeppelin kick a few years ago it was bc Bonzo reeled me in lol. Jonesy always seems to be overshadowed by the other three, probably bc he was always “the quiet one” But now that I got back into them, I truly believe he was the real MVP of the group 💗

And Sweden, eh? i bet you have some interesting stories to tell about your country. I can’t say much bc I live in Northeastern United States where it’s boring and there are more cows than people, yeehaw! 🤠

No special plans for today, just watching holiday films. Couldn’t really do much today since my mom’s been sick and has been spending this entire weekend resting :(( we’re probably gonna celebrate after Christmas once she’s feeling better.

Well I hope you had a lovely celebration with you and your loved ones! I’ve really enjoyed our little banter 😊

Happy Holidays again! 🎄

So. Reader who gets on Aaron's nerves every chance she gets. Because...Yeah.

Summary: Reader has been acting bitchy towards her boss for the past few months, which the reason all comes out to why after a drinking bet.

Warnings: Swearing, drinking, make out scene, sexual acts?? (Implied-ish, not done.) Fluff.

Fem!Reader X Aaron Hotchner.

Word count- 1,895

"Oh, for fuck sakes. Shut the hell up, willya? I don't know why you seem so stoked. You're trapped here, with us. One wrong move, and your brains will be blown out. So be quiet." I say, as I look over to Aaron who does not have a pleased look on his face. Does he ever, though?

Maybe when his ex went dow-

"Agent L/n. That's no way an agent should be speaking." Hotch says as he looks around the room we got locked in, due to his fault. "What are you going to do about it, old man." He wasn't old. Lack thereof, actually. If it wasn't for his river of worry lines that bury themselves on his face, he could still pass for a college student.

"Persay, fire you? I am your boss." "Right. Because you'd totally do that. Not like you went through hell to get me on this team..not like you begged for me to join. Not like you pleaded for even a sliver of my attention." The way his face always was frusturated by you. For a man who's a master at the pokerface, and an artist of covering his feelings; he always had a telltale pissed off face in your presence.

"And you're making me regret my choices, Y/n."

"Such a pity." Our unsub, Ethan Hyde, was not as pleased with our bickering as I was. Annoying Hotch, and soley only him became a favorite pasttime of mine.

"Oh come on, you two are acting like an old married couple. 'Shut up Aaron!' 'Watch your mouth, pretty girl.'  'Oh! Kiss me Mr. Boss!' "Mm, Please. Agent," He teased, then soon wrapping his hands around himself, while making kissing faces and noises.

Fed up with this bullshit, I walked over to him while pulling my gun and aiming it him. "You think I'm pretty, hm?"

"Most certaintly. And I'm not the only one according to how super stone over there looks at you."

Hotch scoffs, and as much as I hate Ethan for all the terrible things he did to those innocent women, I honestly kind of like him at this momment.

"Is that gun aimed to me needed? Because," Ethan slid the .45 out of his pocket aiming it back at me, causing Hotch to grab his in a breif second, spewing how Ethan should put his gun away.

I leaned into the gun, causing the barrell to be pressed into my forehead, hearing Aaron bicker something. Most likely on how stupid I am.

"Go on. Do it, you pussy." Ethan smiled, "I like you a lot, Agent L/n. If only we met under different circumances, and if only your boyfriend didn't want to blow my brains out at this very moment."

But before anyone can say anything else, Derek came rushing through the door that broke open through the wall. Ethan was no short of an ingenious man, and from what Derek told me, he needed to find a lever. Which was the reason why we were trapped in this room for ten minutds. Since the boss always wanted to be a hero. Aaron wasted no time to put Ethan in cuffs, and shove him around.

"In another life time, Mi amor." "Aw ew, gross. In your dreams blondie."

"I think we can all go for drinks." Emily stated.

-

Somehow, we all convinced Aaron to tag along with us.

Shots slid on the bars surface, everyone taking their shot. Minus Aaron. Reid did it, not Hotch. Normally Spencer does at most one shot, to humour us.

"Thank you, Y/n for paying for these drinks. And thank you for having some taste, this rum is amazing." Rossi says, causing the team to laugh as he pats me on the back. I knew what he was doing. Or, well, what he wanted me to do.

"I think beer is pretty much just a pussy's water. Neither of that will do shit to ya. Right, Aaron?" A harmony of oo's echoed within our group, Hotch now glarring daggers at me. A smirk falls from my lips as I lean back in my chair and stretching out my legs on him. His fault he sat on the left of me, anyways.

"Well I mean seriously, I know you can't handle all the big boy drinks like rum, scotch, or anything other than beer and tears. I mean hey it's fine. You almost make me want to put some ribbons in your hair and throw a dress on you - take you dancing with Jj an-"

"Enough. Waiter," he finally, FINALLY, spoke. The whole team was worried but amused on how far I took it.

"Damn mama, who hurt ya?"  Morgan teased, which Emily gave feedback of her own. "No one in this world knows how to push Aaron Hotchners buttons like Y/n does."

"4 shots, rum, please. Two between me and the lady." Aaron says when the bartender bounces our way. "Coming right up."

And within a minute, two shot glasses, each, were slid infront of us. I grab mine, taking it to my lips as I watched Aaron. He downed his first one within a second, causing the team to errupt in chaos.

"Oh, you're on. Monsieur,"  I say while downing my two back to back.

After 10 minutes, we are both on our 20th shot. Spencer forced us to stop there since he was going on about alcohol poisoing. If everyone on our team has lived through serial killers tormenting and attacking all of us, no way in hell was I gonna go down like this. God, how I wish the 18th admendment was still in play sometimes.

Someone, I can't see who, is taking us back to the hotel.

Morgans hands are on me as he guides me into the room. Hotch coming with. He was not sober, but he wasn't nearly as shit faced as I was.

"Hotch..I want Hotch," I began spewing as Morgan now guides me to the bed. Derek raised an eyebrow as he walked out, leaving me alone with Aaron.

"I, uh. Yes?" He says with an eyebrow raised, "Please...please don't leave."

"I'm sorry?" It now hit me on how needy and emotional I get while drunk.

"I'm not.." he paused before clearing his throat "I wont leave you, Y/n."

And that's all you needed, you latched onto him while falling onto the bed.

-

It felt warm. Like how ultraviolet rays pierce through the atmosphere. It also smelled of ceaderwood with honey. An ache rushed to my scalp, as a gasp left my lips and sitting up in a hurry.

My boss is in bed with me. In a t-shirt. I'm in my bra. Did we have sex? His arms were around me. No, no no this canno-

"Goodmorning, Y/n." "Hi, good morning. Yeah. Uh. So, did we uh-" I paused trying to find what words are best to use here. But he knew what I meant nonetheless.

"No, we didn't have sex. I'd never ever make a move on you when you can't one-hundred percent consent." "So, why am I in my uh." Hotch never saw me like this, so ungaurded. With actual words, not jabs.

"Throughout the night you broke in a sweat, and removed your shirt. You wanted me here, and who am I to deny your requests?" "Right, okay. Listen, hey thank you so much for helping me or whatever, but I should get ready uh. I know we didn't fuck. You know that. The team doesn't. So I am going to make sure there isn't a single bit that can be mistaken for any sexual activity." I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, peaking out the door at Hotch. Huh, he really is handsome.

"Aaron? Promise me you'll still be here when I get out the bathroom." "I promise."

-

When I step out, Aaron is already changed. Reading a newspaper at the table. I sat down across from him, having him look up at me.

"I want to say sorry for last night. Was very immature of me to challenge you like that, then drag you back into my hotel room."

But before Aaron can get a word out, there was a knock at my door.

"Hey? Y/n? It's Jj. The plane leaves in half an hour, so we have to leave in ten. I, uh. You okay?"

"Yes! I'm good. A headache, that's all."

Somehow you can just feel her nod and half sympathetic smile through the door.

"Aaron, may we talk when we land?" "Sure thing." I smile as a reply, grab my to-go back and leave the room. Joining the remainder of the team in the local lobby. I knew from this moment, my act can not be carried on. He had broken through my display.

Fuck.

"Did you guys...." Morgan started, dragging out the s to empathize his point. "No, we didn't, brawns." No brain all brawn was a nickname Garcia and I called him quite often.

"Okay! Okay." He says, as everyone just starts talking.

It's like that on the plane.

And when we land

And the long drive to Quantico.

Aaron was already in his office as everyone enjoyed their fine Wednesday, due to us landing back around One pm from Colorado.

These days were my favorite. When you can sit around with the team, being the chaotic family everyone is. Being able to ignore the fact we all hunt the most deadly killers out there.

An hour passes by of everyone talking before Hotch leaves his office; standing above the stairway.

"Y/n. A word in my office? Now." I wasn't scared since it was my word to ask for a conversation.

The team didn't know that, though. Worry plagued their faces when you way over.

"Thank you, Hotch." "What is it you wanted to talk about?" "Well, last night you asked me a question which I just gave you a smile as a reply. Remember?" "I do, yes. I asked why are you mean to me compared to everyone else on the team." "When did it start?" "Uh, like seven months ago?"

"Because I've been inlove with you, Aaron for the past eight months." "I'm sorry?" "I know, it's very inappropriate. I just needed to tell you. I'll make my leave now," and as I turned on my heels to head out of his office, he grabbed my wrist spinning me back around. "I love you too, Y/n." "Wh-"

His lips cut me off as I wrapped my hands around his neck, deeping the kiss. Aaron bit down on my lip causing a whimper to escape as I tug on his tie in retaliation. I never want this moment to stop. His lips on mine is pure hevan. "Mm," he mumbles in the kiss as his hands fall to your waist pulling you guys even closer.

After what feels like an eternity, but not long enough, the two of us pull back for breath. We just held eachother, carefully and closely. "Why else did you think I didn't fire you." "Mm, because I bring you coffee." "That too." Our eyes lock, and I'm drowning in them.

Only to get pulled out of the water by clapping, the whole team -

Spencer, Jj, Derek, Penelope, David and Emily were pressed to the glass cheering us on before David shouted loud enough for us to hear, "About time!"

"Does this mean you won't be such a brat to your boss?" He knew what he was doing when he saw you get flustered. "Being rude? Yes. Brat?" You kissed his cheek while walking away.

<3

[christmasintheloonybin]

thought about engaging in consumerism this black Friday because I have wanted to buy a pair of black jeans for a long time (sad, impoverished life where I have to think long and hard before buying one pair of jeans but oh well). something about a deal actually repulses me I don't know why. I feel manipulated or something. it makes me want to buy a pair of jeans less. maybe growing up poor and resenting it, I despise a handout, I know a handout and a bargain are not the same thing, but I feel as if I cannot go through with buying a pair of jeans DISCOUNTED with my dignity intact. I would rather pay full price just to avoid feeling manipulated.

being broke has been good for me though, I realize all I really need in life is enough money for cigarettes. as long as I have cigarette money I am happy. small pleasure that goes a long way. I am cheap as hell when I'm broke, when I have money I am actually quite generous, I genuinely enjoy taking people out to eat buying things for people I like etc. not just with women its not a chauvinist thing. just people I like. but in general some part of me does feel ashamed and emasculated when I'm with someone, especially a woman, at a restaurant and I don't pay for the bill. I understand the arguing thing because it's genuinely humiliating. being broke I have also learned an important skill - going into a store without buying anything. I hate to be "that guy" in book stores or record stores especially, who go in for the vibes or to be seen there without actually sort of paying your dues. its disgusting! especially because these are niche and honestly irrelevant markets, so if you want to have book stores to stroll through and feel cultured at in the future, you better pitch in to keep them alive. but this is an important skill I believe still, to say "I don't really need this." and I realize, again, that I really need very little. just cigarettes. and food ideally. I'd choose cigarettes over food, though.

all this being said, i have a promising lead at a bakery, I just need to sort some things out with the community college I plan on attending first, lol. I think it would be nice to work at a bakery, even though it involves getting up obscenely early, I can't sleep and I wake up at around 5:00 anyways, so 3:00 or 4:00 wouldn't be a severe adjustment. it would prohibit me from staying up late but I have no social life so it makes no difference to me.

community college, I am obviously not super stoked about. but I already did a year, right after I graduated high school, and they have a program in place for transfers to the local university that everyone goes to, it's informally called "grade 13" because just about everyone goes there after high school, like as a default. I don't particularly care where I go, maybe I could transfer to a college somewhere else in the country, this might be a good idea, but the local college town is relatively close to where I live, I am familiar with the area, it's just more comfortable than if I packed up and moved to California or Texas or something. lol. but maybe that would be good for me. community college, depressing but probably a good halfway point between the proletarian and bourgeois worlds. if I went straight into regular university, with all these fucking teenagers I think it would be a very alienating experience. if I can ease my way in, it will still be strange when I'm in classes with people four or five years younger than me, but at least I'll be slightly more acclimated and I can just do my own thing. also I look young, so it's not that weird. my problem is more idiot kids who think they know everything. it's funny seeing young people now, I mean even like 20 year olds. they think they know everything but they're just kids. because I can remember being like 15 and thinking I knew it all. like I had everything figured out. just a product of aging I guess. of course, I have always felt this way and disavow my former self as an idiot, but the pattern continues, I'm sure in a year I'll think about the things I thought now and be embarrassed. this is life!
