THE ART OF LOVE

pairings. cho hyun-ju x f!reader

cw. no games au, all fluff, reader is an artist, established relationship, the use of 'y/n' like once.

author's note: hehehe, requests for hyun-ju are still open! please send me some more ideas for her, fluff and headcanons have been doing really well so maybe more of that. and p.s. i write for other squid game characters!! keep in mind to the read the guidelines before sending an ask.

you've always enjoyed art. to be creating intricate pieces that are just so full of love and passion, it's everything you've ever known. you've held it deeply in your heart ever since you were little. it's more than a hobby to you, more than just a form of expression— it had caused such a spark of creativity within you, you were able to create pictures that were straight from the soul.

everything you've ever molded, drew, or painted, they were all so greatly appreciated by your peers and you took pride in it. every single work you've made has held a story you weren't able to say aloud, your portraits spoke the sentences you could've never thought straight.

but you knew the struggles with pursuing an art career. though, you fully believe it'll all be worth it.

however during one rainy night, you were officially rejected from the last exhibition you proposed to. the subway ride back to your apartment was deafening, disappointment lingered in the air, your thoughts suffocated with the stress of the next step you should take.

that's where you first met hyun-ju. she was sitting just right in front of you, her head focused on her boots. you couldn't see her at first, still, you knew she had to be beautiful. her hair is well-kept, bangs neat, she seemed like such a lovely person to be around. your gaze sparked as she tilted her head up, revealing her unreal beauty.

you still had three more stops until yours, so like you always do, you grab your sketchbook to pass the time. you drew, traced lines, perfected the shapes, made sure you got all the right details. you sketched the woman in front of you.

she too had a curious eye on you. you seemed interesting, visually ambitious and passionate. she wondered what you were drawing, she wished she had the courage to speak to you.

she was fooled when you gave the picture of her. your voice was shy, but it held a very warm and welcoming tone, you're friendly, hyun-ju took note.

your stop was coincidentally the same as hyun-ju's, which obviously led to an awkward first conversation. you shared very vague stories of how you started art, you don't want to be vulnerable just yet, that's where your paintings take part.

and that all led to you today.

it was cold, the snow had calmed down a bit since the past weeks. you were sipping onto your last cup of warm hot chocolate. hyun-ju sat close next to you, her head slowly leaning on yours. there was multiple blank canvas' in the corner of the room, it all just came yesterday morning.

"y/n?"

"hm?" you hummed,

"can i ask you a question? or more or so, a request?" hyun-ju asked, you nodded. "could you teach me how to paint? i see you doing it a lot, and i'm very intrigued. you look so professional and i just wonder how you're just so talented.."

you smile, the hot chocolate left a foam mustache on your face. hyun-ju laughs, "please?"

"anything for my muse. come on. i'll teach you."

the rest of your day was spent guiding hyun-ju's hands as she painted the bouquet of flowers placed on a wooden table. it is simple yet a reminder of a memory you two spent. she was a natural. she sat near your lap, your hands held her waist as she began to paint the strokes herself.

"looks beautiful, hyun." your cheek squished hers, you cupped her face like a proud mother. "you think so?" hyun-ju questions, "i know so, when it dries, i'll hang it up in the living room." you place a kiss on her forehead before skipping away in excitement.

Tim Through the Years - The Proposal

Series Masterlist (part 10)

Summary: Tim finds the perfect way to propose. 0.9k+ words

Tim has been trying to wrack his brain on how to propose. He found the ring because of Angela and now he doesn’t know how to ask the woman he loves to marry him. Because of the incident when he got the ring, everyone has an opinion on how he should propose, and it’s giving him quite the headache. Lucy has been talking non-stop since she found out and expressed all of the ideas she had. So here he is, hiding in the interrogation room, trying to think of the perfect way to ask. Tim’s phone starts to ring and he answers without looking to see who is calling.

“What?” Tim asks gruffly.

“Hey baby, is this a bad time?” 

Tim freezes; it was you calling him and not Lucy as he thought. “No, not at all, what can I do for you?”

“We’ve been having issues at school of someone stealing other people’s lunches. Today they stole my whole lunch instead of a couple of things. Everything is just gone; would it be possible to bring me some lunch? I really don’t want to eat cafeteria food.” 

“Of course baby, I’ll grab some food from your favorite place”, Tim replies softly. He can tell you’ve been having a rough day just by the sound of your voice.

“Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, I love you! See you soon.” 

“I love you too.”

When your phone call ends, he sees he has a few texts he missed from you earlier. They were pictures of different drawings your students did and they all centered around you and him together. Tim knows that you love your students and they mean the world to you. You always boast about how much your students grow and how proud you are of them. That’s when Tim has the best idea ever.

You slump in your seat after your phone call with Tim. The kids were in the gym before they were going to head to lunch. There has been a lunch thief in the break room and even if you leave your lunch in your classroom, some of it gets stolen. You’ve never had your whole lunch stolen - matter of fact, no one has, so it looks like the thief has stepped up their game. You have your suspicions of who stole your lunch: your coworker Dennis has been causing all sorts of problems. He cheated on his wife with a student's mom, and now he blames his ex-wife for why his kids don’t want to see him. A rumor you were told was that he was a massive alcoholic who took out all his stress on his family, and he had a gambling problem. You want to make a super spicy meal for him to eat so he will stop eating your lunches since Tim puts a ton of effort into making sure you eat a balanced meal every day.

You check the time and see that it is time to pick up your class before lunch so they can grab anything they need. When you walk into your classroom with your students, you see Tim sitting at your desk with your lunch. The class all squeals and runs up to Tim, asking him all sorts of questions. Your class loves it when Tim visits and thinks he’s a superhero. 

“Hey guys, I’m just here to have lunch with your favorite teacher.” Tim has a smile on his face while he talks to your students.

That’s when your class turns to you and declares they want to use their marbles to have lunch with the both of you. You use marbles as a reward system to encourage good behavior, and they can choose what they want within reason.

“How about instead of me taking your marbles, I’ll give you a free pass because you have been so well-behaved today.”

The class cheers and goes to get their lunch stuff, so you send a classroom aide to go with some students who need a hot lunch. Tim hands you your stuff and when the aide returns with your students, you tell her you are going to run to the bathroom and be right back. When you return to your classroom, all your students are suspiciously quiet. Lunch goes smoothly, with you and Tim talking about your guys' day and the students talking amongst their friends and asking questions here and there. Once lunch ends, the students say goodbye to Tim and you kiss Tim on the cheek before telling him you’ll see him at dinner tonight.

It is getting close to the end of the day when the fire alarm goes off, which is weird because there was no drill planned for today. You calmly walk your students outside and do a head count of your students. After a few minutes, police and fire arrive, and all the kids talk about how cool they thought the trucks were. That’s when you heard your name called from one of the police vehicles' microphones.

“Y/N Winchester.”

Everyone grows quiet, and all turn to stare at you. Your students run toward the vehicle, and you run behind them to try and stop them. You freeze because your students are standing behind Tim, who is on one knee.

“Will you marry me?” all your students shout together with massive smiles on their faces.

“Yes!”

We don’t agree on some part, but I will just say that not all the fans of Helluva Boss accused Octavia. (and actually I am making this comment just because you said this, otherwise I usually don’t like to interact with critics of the show because even if I think you are not analyzing it fairly, you can have the opinion you want)

Actually, a lot of us are fans of her, and we have made tons of posts explaining and defending Octavia’s position (because yes is true that a lot of people had those nasty comments; but actually inside the core of the defenders lr the show most of us defended Octavia); so yeah there are all kinds of opinions here. Is not fair to accuse all the fanbase of something just to sustain your criticism. We don’t all think the same.

Is a complex situation, where Stolas is depressed and was unable to be the father she deserved. But the thing is that he loves her, and he can improve and try.

She will decide if she forgives him, but the bond they shared and all the years Stolas took care of Octavia is what will make her forgive him (all the drawings of the paintings and pictures in the Sinsmas episode are proof but the show had already hinted that).

I don’t know why most of the Stolas critics dismiss this so much. I know that the series don’t show much of their previous interactions (like before Blitzø) for us to understand better, but why dismiss this? It was a lot of sacrifice and he did it for love and without asking for anything. Years and years of being for her, even in an unhappy marriage. No wonder why he felt into depression. He gave everything to her, and no one gave anything to him.

I would say the same about Stella, but she is distant with her and we don’t know her side of the story yet. She is meant to be evil and that’s fine.

I also would be fine with her being a 100% innocent victim along Stolas by the way, but the story is formulated in this way, because is the story they want to tell. They know what will happen later and what they want to do with Stella, so I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt for now and respect their story. I actually would even agree (in this AU scenario) with a story where at the end Octavia understands everything and forgives both of his parents, is not because of “baby Stolas”. So please, can we just respect the story? This is not a flaw of the narrative, is just that you don’t like the situation the characters are put in… and you don’t like that Stolas is forgiven and Stella isn’t, but you know, these kind of mothers can exist.

In my country, there is one legal case that was very famous, where a trans woman earned the custody of a boy that was malnourished and hurt with his biological mother, that was unable to take care of him. So, why so much reticence to have an evil mom? This shit happens guys, these stories have all the right to be told, no matter if the good parent is a mother or a queer dad. The rest of moms in helluva boss are also good (they had tragic endings I know, just Millie’s mom is alive but still…).

The only evil female character that I remember is Stella, because Verosika will clearly be redeemed or at least she will have peace and closure at some extent, and probably be neutral to Blitzø at the end… Still, you complain.

I know that Stella could have been done better even as a villain, but her character error is not that she isn’t good or victim enough. Victims can also become abusers, and bad people if they are not treated or intervened early.

Lastly, I will just put a question to think:

Would you say the same if Stolas was Stella and Stella was Stolas? Like, would you say that Stolas is villainized so Stella can be the victim? I believe that a lot of people would not… if the answer is no, you have double standards.

A lot of critics also don’t want to understand that liking this story or couples doesn’t mean completely endorsing everything they do. We don’t see a baby Stolas (if you see something like that is just that we love the stupid owl, but most of those people won’t deny his mistakes), we see a broken man that was abused, neglected and alone his whole life that does terrible choices/actions bc of that trauma and that sadly, ended up damaging the people he loves the most because all of that.

You know they are trying, but sometimes they fuck up, but you also understand why and where they come from. This is a story where it is assumed that you are trying to understand why the characters do what they do (this includes Octavia) and that you look at them with compassion but also wishing them to improve and be the best they can be. Not that you just blindly endorse them, neither villainize them from their flaws.

Helluva Boss fans expect Octavia to be a bigger person than her own damn father. She's 17 and expected to be patient and hear out the father that, in her perspective, chose a man he cheated with over her. They put it on Octavia to be understanding of her poor daddy because "he was abused and how could she be so selfish whe should hear him out-"

Like I understand the writing of this show is middle school level and Stella is reduced to a stupid vapid evil flat cardboard of a character so Stolas can be free from all wrong doing because he has to be the victim-

But Octavia is a fucking kid. Stolas is a fucking adult. You can't put all the blame on Stella for Stolas's actions towards his own daughter. He did choose Blitzo over her.

Im not hear to talk about Stolas and Blitzo and Stella because that's a can of worms of sexual coercion and abuse and shit thats not handled with any dignity or grace and im tired of arguing about.

But Octavia is a kid and to see yall crucifing her because she's acting like a kid in a shit situation because your poor uwu owl boy got his feelings hurt.

Im tired of this fandom and this show only catering to Stolas and acting like he's the victim of everything.

And i know later the show will have Octavia found out about how her mom is just a cardboard flat bitch and the show will make her come to Stolas apologizing as if she's not the kid and he's the father in the situation.

Like I'm tired
