Anonymous said to enaasteria: May 20th 2017, 12:32:00 am · 5 months ago So I was wondering did ahri told sehun about what happened to her while sehun went after jiyul like she drank the juice and was taken to hospital or did sehun already knew or anyone told him bc I think you didn't mention that?..

Soi definitely told him---actually her wrath probably yelled at him and was infuriated with his poor actions. he probably got scolded by everyone tbh.

Imma go listen to this and add it to the playlist! TY ANON!

Anonymous said to enaasteria: June 24th 2017, 11:31:00 pm · 3 months ago ena, i just wish you can fathom 1/16 of the greatness you've omitted onto the exo fandom. you're writing is absolute perfection. fandom writers are just not appreciated enough! you're art is just as important than the art exo creates. you are able to create a story and a character. just think about that. a person and their life. real or not, you've created a character all of us can relate to in one way or another. i hope you keep finding joy in what you do and never lose this passion. 🌺

I remember reading this message 3 months ago and it made me want to cry. Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for appreciating fanfiction as an art form. I think this writing is such a lost art and people don’t appreciate the time and effort going into a story. But reading this made it so worth it and thank you so much for your kindness!

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 7th 2017, 7:22:00 am · 3 months ago Omg i just followed you now bcs of apartment 5108 and others too. Geez why i havent discovered you then?! Seriously for me its really hard to find fanfic that matches with my reading style gosh its pretty damn well written and you succesfully made me feel like im the character. You mess my feeling hun'. You did it. Seriously youre one of the best writer i ever known in tumblr. Im looking forward to ch 16 and others too. I hope u doing well!!!! Lots of love from your lovely reader💛

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s such a huge compliment to see you hold my writing to such a high regard and I hope this next chapter doesn’t disappoint. I’m so glad you like it and please let me know what you think of the rest of the chaps!

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 7th 2017, 12:45:00 pm · 3 months ago I've been following you for about a year now and DAMN HOW I LOVE YOU. Its been a year since you last updated Apartment 5108 but you still log in to check on your fans. Writers block is an ass but all you need is some inspiration and then you'll be firing away with the Seahri feels. or Ahrun feels. However you decide to ship them. Also Chanyeol is my fav and the fic you wrote called Two killsss meee. THANK YOU! Also, I'm Egyptian. Pretty cool knowing you have international readers eh?

I’m so sorry you’ve had to wait so long for a chapter!!! It’s so amazing how there are international people reading this and I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and also for sending me this comment but ALSO SEAHRI. LIKE THIS KILLS ME AND ITS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE.

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 7th 2017, 1:56:00 pm · 3 months ago Hey Ena! Just wanted to tell you that I literally open your page every single day (its been 3 months LOL) , just to check if there's any update for apt5108, no rush but that just show how much i adore your work, i just freakin' love your story! I never felt so desperate waiting for the next chapter.. but I believe good things take a long time, and I believe your work could be one of the good things, even better the best thing!! Love, Your biggest fan💕

IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT. I don’t know what to say other than this year has been a mess and a true struggle but I dearly wanted to write this chapter and forced myself to do it and post today. I’m so sorry if it wasn’t worth the wait but hopefully it’s a good continuation to their story T____T

@sehun---addict said to enaasteria: July 20th 2017, 10:07:00 pm · 3 months ago Personally i would rather wait until you finish the story and post it in one go bcs waiting game for each chap is pure torture . Much love♡

I wish I could’ve posted it all but 16 nearly killed me to just finish so I hope this is a good chapter to hold you off until 17 T___T

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 20th 2017, 10:14:00 pm · 3 months ago In reference to your tag in the previous ask- I think posting the chapters as you finish them would be preferable for me. That way I wouldn't have to wait as long for another update? But I'm wondering if writing it all and posting it generally at one point would be easier on you, so that it could kind of be one and done. Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to write this story! You are so incredibly talented and I find it so kind that you take time out of your day to write.

16 is going up soon. I hope you enjoy it and I’m so sorry for the wait. Thank you for your patience and I hope you read with low expectations because I’m a bit nervous about this chapter. It’s excruciatingly long T.T

Anonymous said to enaasteria: July 20th 2017, 11:46:00 pm · 3 months ago please post 16 when it's finished! that way we can have a new chapter at a time to enjoy!

It’s going up!

@yoruu-gen said to enaasteria: August 21st 2017, 1:01:00 pm · a month ago Happy Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day to my most favorite fanfic author in existence ❤ Apt 5108 is by far the best thing I've read on this website and I look forward to continue stalking your Google Docs 👀 I'm so thankful that you pulled me out of the writer's block abyss and I hope I won't disappoint in the future lol. Thanks for always being such a great friend and for always dying with me about our biases 😅 Love u lots~~

YOUUUUUU. I LOVE YOU. I also thank you so much for helping me with this chapter. You are such an inspiration and I know you feel like you’re not that great of a writer but honestly---you are one of the two I really, truly, look up to on this platform. I always enjoy your words, your stories, YOUR STRUGGLES with your biases but also so thankful for your friendship. 

Anonymous said to enaasteria: August 26th 2017, 9:36:00 am · a month ago Red is my favorite fic and it impacted me so much in a way i can only be thankful. Getting away of a one-side love relationship was really a big choice i should have made before but it's really scary to do so. Reading Red helped me aknowledge what i was doing to myself after denying it for too long and i finally decided to take care of myself for once. So i'm thankful because your amazing way of using words helped me realize i should do what's better for me and no one else. Take care of yourself

Red is honestly one of my favorites too. It was so easy to write (compared to apt) hahaha and although Sehun wasn’t a good character in it, I enjoyed the progression of how real the characters were? Like---this happens in real life and not all things end happily with rainbows and butterflies. It is a struggle to see a person go through something like this but it’s also a testament to their character and their willpower to walk away from it and say when they’ve had enough. I hope you’re doing well, anon.

TFLN about missing harry and his cuddles and you guys get all "lovey-dovey" then one of the boys take his phone lmao

Harry. Missus.

I miss you.

Your house is so boring without you.

Why are you in my house?

I was bored at my flat today.

And I wanted something to remind me of you.

Don’t you have work today?

I thought you had a busy day at the nursery today? I know you’ve been planning some arts and crafts with everyone.

Took the day off today.

Why?

What’s the matter?

Not feeling so great today. I didn’t want to infect the kids with my cold.

That’s why I miss you, too. I just want your cuddles when I’m sick. Being in your house just makes me feel all warm and cosy.

Also, I ran out of soup and you have loads of chicken in your cupboard and it’s my favourite flavour; I know you stock up for me.

I’m sorry. :(

Thank god I’ve still got all those tins from the last time you were sick. And refused to leave my house until you resembled a human and not a zombie.

Shut up, you tosser. You should see me now. I look worse than a zombie.

I’m tucked up on your sofa in your clothes - your jumpers are so warm, by the way - because I just want to cuddle with you and sleep whilst you rub my sick tummy and give me forehead kisses.

I’ve got tissues hanging from my nose because I just have the snottiest nose ever - gross, I know - and I’ve got a bucket beside me in case I throw up and ruin your sofa.

Please don’t. You know I can’t handle sick.

I won’t.

If it helps though, I miss you, too. 

Plane rides aren’t the same without you curled up under my arm. And the hotel rooms are a lot colder when you’re not here. Also, it doesn’t feel right waking up to no one beside me and no one kicking me and no one kissing me awake.

Don’t. I may just cry.

I miss you so god damn much.

Miss you toooooooooooo.

xxxxxxxxx

I want you to cuddle me so badly!!!

Harry?

Pumpkiiiiiiiin.

Who’s taken Harry’s phone?

Who is this?

Liam, is this you?

Nope.

Who is this?

Who do you love more than Harry?

Tom Hardy!?

No, you donut. 

It’s Louis.

Do I get your cuddles too?

Why do you have Harry’s phone?

Why did you ruin this moment?

For the record, you’re a close second to Harry. Harry’s my favourite love.

Ouch. ;)

But, Harry went for a wee. Left his phone on the table. Idiot leaves his phone unlocked so I took the opportunity to mess with him. 

It would have been Niall otherwise; and we know he gets cheeky when he starts pranking people. He was staring at the phone and smirking.

Eugh.

I love him but my god, he would give himself away. He jumps right into “My dick misses you, babyyyyyy. xxxxxx”

Harry doesn’t text like that.

Doesn’t he? ;)

When we sext. Sure.

Harry’s coming back. Byeee.

I’m going to kill that wanker.

Don’t be silly.

He ruined our good, sweet, lovey-dovey moment.

You left your phone unlocked, you moron.

Skype call later? I’ll be back at the hotel soon from rehearsals. 

Suuure. 

I’m going to borrow some of your face stuff because my face looks horrible. Love you. Byyye. x

In My Veins (14/?)

Title: In My Veins Rating: K+ Pairing: Ten/Rose, human AU Summary: –Telepathic bond soulmate AU– Everyone kept saying kids couldn’t develop telepathic bonds, that it was completely impossible. John Smith and Rose Tyler defied the impossible.

Notes: Well I finally managed to hash out a soulmate AU enough to be happy with writing it. All the blame for this entire story goes to @lastbluetardis​, who not only encouraged it, but also allowed me to yell at her about it until I was happy enough to start writing it. Blame her entirely.

Read it on A03

Catch up on Tumblr

“You’re falling asleep.”

“Am nooooooot.”

“Are toooooooooooo,” John teased, laughing as Rose sleepily stuck her tongue out at him. They were on Skype again, mostly just watching each other and smiling stupidly. They’d spent so long silently communicating, words seemed unnecessary.

And now Rose was falling asleep. John could feel that she was tired, and of course he wasn’t going to keep her awake. But it was fun to tease her.

“Am…” Rose yawned widely, burying her face in her arms, “not.”

John grinned, lying back in his bed as he began singing quietly. Rose was tired. She needed to sleep.

“Not faaaaaaaaair,” Rose whined. John shushed her and continued singing. It only took Rose a few minutes to fall asleep. John grinned as he felt her peace wash through his mind.

Watching and feeling her sleep was honestly one of the best things. John couldn’t wait for the day he could do it in person.

* * * * * * * *

“I want to visit John.”

Pete and Jackie sighed, exchanging looks. They’d been having this fight off and on with Rose since the dinner a few weeks earlier. “Rose, we told you, we don’t think it’s a good idea,” Pete said patiently. “It’s not appropriate.”

“I don’t care,” Rose said stubbornly. “And why is it so inappropriate anyways? He’s only two years older than me, and we’d just be hanging out.”

“And you would be spending the night in his dorm, alone. That’s not okay.”

“Only to you! Literally no one else would care, and if they did what does it matter? You’re the one who keeps saying it doesn’t matter what other people think! Or is that just something you say to make me eat?”

“Rose, we said no, and that’s final,” Jackie cut in, frustrated. She was tired of fighting with her daughter. Rose scowled.

“Fine. Fine.”

She turned and stormed back upstairs. Please stop thinking that, John said quietly.

You don’t know what I’m thinking. The silence that followed those words was amazingly judgmental. Yeah, okay, fine. You know what I’m thinking.

If you sneak out they’re going to be angry. They already hate me. They’ll probably think I talked you into running away.

I’m not running away. I just want to see you. I don’t understand why they’re being such jerks about it.

Yeah… I know. Even John had to admit he was frustrated with Jackie and Pete Tyler. He understood they loved Rose.

He just wished they could see that he did as well.

I’m doing it, Rose said, determined. Next weekend. I’m coming to see you.

No talking you out of this, I’m guessing?

Nope.

* * * * * * * *

In the end, Rose decided to skip school on Friday. John only had one class, so they could spend plenty of time together before Rose’s parents realized she was missing and came after her.

“What if they call police?” John asked as he picked Rose up outside of her school. She grinned as she bounced into the car.

“They won’t. That would be a huge scandal.”

And with that she threw herself across the console and hugged John tight. He grinned despite his misgivings, hugging her back.

“I missed you,” he murmured, Rose’s heart swelled.

“I missed you too.”

They went back to campus, and Rose hung out in John’s room while he went to his class. His room was a mess, of course. He’d always struck her as the kind of person who didn’t know how to keep a space clean.

“Hey!” John said as he walked back into the room an hour later. “How’s — did you clean my room?”

“Yes, it was a disaster,” Rose teased. John blushed, ducking his head.

“Yeah, well…” He rubbed the back of his head, smiling sheepishly. “Come on. Let’s get something to eat.”

They went to the campus cafeteria, Rose bouncing along excitedly and holding John’s hand. It was so nice to be away from her parents and to feel like she had a choice in something she did. So much of her time was scheduled, sometimes it felt like she never had time for herself.

“John!”

They had just finished getting food when the voice called across the cafeteria, and they turned to see a red-headed young woman waving John down. “Hey Donna!” John said brightly, leading Rose toward the table the woman had commandeered. Rose instantly hunched up, trying not to be too nervous. She knew John had made a few friends, and some of them were women. That was okay. He loved Rose. It was okay.

John took Rose’s hand, clearly sensing her insecurity, and she smiled a bit. “Wait,” the woman said, clearly stunned. “Is this your girlfriend? Are you his girlfriend? You’re real?”

“Oi!” John griped as Rose giggled.

“Seriously, blink twice if you’re here against your will.”

John rolled his eyes, sitting, and Rose set down her food to properly introduce herself to John’s friend. “I’m Rose,” she said with a small smile. “And no, I’m not here against my will.”

“Are you sure?” John glared at the woman, and she grinned. “I’m Donna. Nice to meet you. I have to admit, I was kind of worried John was making you up.”

You talk about me? Rose asked, a bit surprised. John ducked his head, blushing a little.

I have a picture of you in my wallet. Donna saw it once and kind of thought I was crazy stalker person.

Rose couldn’t stop herself from giggling. Her amusement covered up the shock of John having a picture of her that he carried around.

Unsurprisingly, Rose got a few strange looks. The sight of the Vitex heiress casually eating lunch with a strange boy was enough to turn heads. Rose just sat closer to John, keeping her head down and focusing on John, Donna, and her food. Donna didn’t seem to realize Rose was the Vitex heiress, or she just didn’t care. Either way, it never came up and Rose was grateful. It was nice to just pretend she was normal for a little bit.

“So are you spending the weekend?” Donna asked. Rose ducked her head, staring at her food.

“No. Just the day.” Or at least until her parents realized she was missing and stormed the campus looking for her. She really wasn’t looking forward to that. Part of her felt like she should have thought this through better.

But she had wanted to see John.

They finished eating, and Donna had to run off to class, leaving them alone. “Wanna walk a bit?” John asked. “I can show you around campus.”

“Sure.” Rose grinned, and they headed back out onto campus. It really was gorgeous. Rose was kind of jealous that John got to live here and see it every day. “It’s so pretty,” she said, looking around.

“I bet you could get in here, if you wanted,” John said, and Rose laughed.

“No way, you have to be brilliant to get in.”

“You are brilliant,” John insisted. “I’ve been tutoring you for years.”

Rose smiled a bit, nudging him with her elbow. “I don’t even know what I want to go to school for,” she admitted after a moment. “Is that bad?”

“Not really. I mean, I didn’t know either, I enrolled undecided.” John shrugged. “I didn’t declare a major until my first week.”

“Yeah but you’re smart. You’re good at things.” John could have chosen any major and probably excelled at it. If he’d gone into art, he easily would have graduated top of his class and probably become a famous artist. He was good at everything.

“I am not.” John, of course, heard the thoughts going through Rose’s head. “And you’re good at plenty of stuff too.”

“Like what?”

“Music.” The answer was instant and without hesitation. “You’re a brilliant musician.”

“I’m alright…” Rose blushed a bit, ducking her head. She’d sort of slipped away from music in the last few months, with everything that had been going on. She missed it, though. Just the thought of playing again made her fingers itch, and she moved her free fingers as if she were preparing to play. John saw that, and felt her desire, and smiled.

“You could study music. You would be amazing.”

“I don’t know…”

John squeezed her hand, and she smiled a bit. “You’ve still got time. You don’t need to make a decision right this very minute. I’m just saying, there’s a lot you can do.”

“Well, there’s one option, anyways.”

“But it’s an option you like.”

Rose couldn’t argue with that. They finished their tour and went back to John’s dorm, settling down on his bed to watch a movie. Rose snuggled into John’s side, smiling peacefully. She could feel his content with the situation feeding into her own.

It was lovely.

“I love you,” John said quietly, and Rose felt her heart skip a beat. It was the first time either of them had said the words out loud.

Actually hearing them made her feel giddy.

“I love you too.” Rose grinned when she felt John’s elation, like a silent squeal, in her mind. “Dork.”

John laughed.

Rose ended up falling asleep, and John instantly forgot the movie in favor of just watching her sleep. It was even more beautiful without the computer screen between them. Seeing her so peaceful was just… wonderful.

He dared to drop a kiss to the top of her head, smiling when she shifted and her hair tickled his nose.

God, he loved her so much.

The movie was just ending when Rose’s mobile rang, waking her up. She groaned, reaching for it, and groaned again when she saw the caller ID.

“Dad.” John’s stomach dropped as she answered. “Hi Dad—” She was instantly cut off by Pete yelling. John couldn’t quite make out the words, but he could hear the tone. Pete was angry. “I’m sorry, I—” More yelling. “No, you don’t have to send — please don’t — Dad — okay, okay.”

Rose sighed as she hung up. “Dad’s sending a car to get me.” It hadn’t been hard for him to figure out where she was. Where else would Rose skip school and go?

“Well at least now your parents have a reason to hate me,” John muttered, and Rose smiled weakly.

They sat outside John’s building, waiting for the car and holding hands the entire time. They didn’t say much. They didn’t have to. It was a nice, comfortable silence. And Rose never wanted it to end.

But of course, it did. The car came, and John pulled Rose into a hug, holding on for longer than what was absolutely necessary. This could very well be the last time he got to hold her until she turned eighteen, and he wanted to make the most of it.

“I love you,” he whispered again, and Rose smiled into his neck.

“I love you too.”

* * * * * * * *

“What in the world were you thinking?!”

Pete and Jackie were furious. Rose had seen it coming, had prepared to deal with it, but she didn’t care. “I asked you permission,” she pointed out. “Over and over and over. You said no.”

“We said no for a reason, Rose!”

“Because you don’t like him!”

“That has nothing to do with it!” Pete said angrily.

“Like hell it doesn’t!”

“Why we say no doesn’t matter,” Jackie cut in. “What matters is that we said no, and you still disobeyed us—”

“You can’t control me forever. I’m not a little kid anymore!”

“We just want what’s best for you—”

“You don’t know what’s best for me!” Rose half-yelled. “You don’t know anything about me! You never have! I almost starved to death and you never even noticed! And who told you about it? John did! John cut school and took a bus out here just to tell you what you could have seen if you’d just paid attention! You have no clue what’s best for me!”

Jackie and Pete were both silent for a moment. Rose knew she had gone too far, but she didn’t care. She was so tired of fighting her parents just because they didn’t like John. She didn’t even care why they didn’t like John anymore. None of it made sense to her. He had never done anything wrong.

“We can continue this conversation later,” Pete finally said stiffly. “Go to your room. You’re grounded.”

“Fine.” Rose turned on her heel and stormed upstairs, slamming her bedroom door as soon as she was inside.

I think you went too far, John said quietly.

I don’t care. I don’t care.

The stunned, hurt look on her parents’ faces was still burned into her mind, though. Okay, maybe she cared a little.

Rose… John sounded hesitant. I don’t want you to ruin your relationship with your parents just because of me. They’re your family.

And you’re my soulmate. You’re just as important as they are.

But they’re still your parents, and they’re important.

Rose sighed, flopping into bed and burying her face in her pillow. Yeah. I know.

That didn’t make any of this any easier, though.

* * * * * * * *

What the hell are you doing?

John had been quiet most of the morning, and Rose had figured he was busy. She’d spent the time focused on her flute, breaking it out, cleaning it, and beginning to play. It felt nice to play again.

She was taking a break when she heard the doorbell rang, and she realized who was at the door. I want to talk to your parents, John said. Alone. Keep playing. It’s nice.

Rose sighed, looking down at her flute. She was desperate to go downstairs and see what was happening. But she really didn’t need to. She could watch the entire thing without leaving her room.

// part 2! the trost arc was a clusterfuck so i didn’t get to screen so mUCH but now that i learned to transfer from the ps4 to my laptop i hope they come out a lot better. only catch is, i didn’t write the commentary down as i was taking the screenshots. so that means i (1) forgot most of my jokes, & (2) forgot some of the context sakjdfndakfnak AH WELL HERE GOES~

// this is a cute feature in the game that i really love. bel does splurge on presents, so we wasted no time spending all our money on random shit to give to people for friendship points lol

also hange’s often creeping outside her door lol (not that i’m complaining~) in her private room you can edit her design as well as put on / take off her jacket & scouting cloak whenever you want, which is great, but i wish there was a way to just default to whatever your squad’s in bc she keeps showing up over/under dressed XD

this is capturing sonny & bean after trost. they took her in with eren after the night of the disbanding ceremony bc she’s all around gifted. in her fanon they took her for her knowledge and everything else she brought to the table was just a perk.

she’d totally be down to help capture titans tho <3 her gear mods were designed for that

moblit making sure the rookie knows what she’s getting into <3 a lot of the veterans check in with her to make sure she’s down and i think that’s pretty great. yeah they’re military but there’s a lot more personal freedom than you’d expect

some do it more than others XD another way levi put it was saying she wouldn’t survive even if she was a cat with nine lives ( he’s actually super critical of hange in this game, like a lot more than usual. i don’t recall him saying anything good about her, actually D: )

GOOD GIRL nice ass

levi squad 1.0 trying to figure out how to thank levi for everything he does. petra says he’d probably be happy no matter what while the others are like PRESENT! CLEAN! TRAIN! (bel’s just taking notes lmao)

as far as presents go, i was surprised to find out levi likes silver rings :0 i never took him for jewelry but i guess he does like the little things (he also liked the hair tie haha true to yams saying he’d put up his hair if he ever wanted to change the style )

squad speak for “make me a sandwich” JKNFDJASKNAN LEVI PLS

we already know nanaba’s underrated but she’s so pretty in the game my gay hert T.T

mike doesn’t reveal what bel smells like but nanaba & gelgar smell respectively like fruit and booze (i think that’s common trivia not unique to the game tho)

I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING ANNIE DON’T DO IT & STOP SMILING (she’s so fuckin cute tho aaaaa bless this game design everyone’s so pretty DX)

i have all the time in the world queen DX

gang gang ~

i had such a slow trigger finger i missed hange’s dramatic animation so now it just looks like sarcasm askdjfnajknfak

“i’m not modeling, the camera just turned on” twice so we accidentally caught erwin before he creeped on her with his “who do you think the enemy is” question he posed to everyone haha

appreciating how much of a fuckin absolute unit mike is before my horny monkey brain kicks in and poses the thought that she can suck his dick standing up

getting to know armin is really cute. when he’s caught up in feeling not good enough, bel plays chess with him, loses spectacularly, and helps him feel better about his strengths rather than focus on his weaknesses. T.T here she’s electing to clean up the chess game while keith calls for him (and i took that screenshot for that perky chin teehee)

hange: both! both is good! :D

gang gang! the game changed eren’s spoon episode: instead of a spoon, his hand transforms reaching for a bandage you meant to hand him and he dropped. doesn’t really seem like a necessary change, but titans ran in and you had to protect him.

game levi has a lot less chill than usual lmao so demanding (this changes later tho)

getting to know jean: tease him about his mother XD (highkey bc no one else has one sakdjfnaksnf)

it’s really sweet how hange picks you out. it’s mostly bc your character’s eager to help her with experiments. in bel’s fanon, anyone can advocate for her as a plot point.

while getting to know levi, he leads a joint training exercise for a select few soldiers from all the regiments to teach teamwork. most were just looking to earn brownie points for a promotion, so he calls it off. bad form y’all~

um sir she’s already killed a fuckton we’re flattered but a bit condescended to askjfnaksfnaj (he ends up teaching you some new moves tho so fair bc we all know he’s clumsy with his words)

see fam was it that hard XD

***spoiler alert*** player does let him down DX in an credibly stupid way that i’m still salty about might i add but that’s for the ending playthrough post <3

GANG GANG~ i love seeing her in groups X)))))

such an angelic shot of him TwT he’s so cute

yeah you’re looking sad so i’m gonna need you to wipe the floor with her ass in chess again XD

WHOOP - DE - DOO KJDSFNAKJKA (also got 69 scout credits, Nice:tm:)

i legit thought saying you wouldn’t die on him would make him happiest but he wants you cleaning and making his tea first so i GUESS that explains him preferring you pledge your ass in fidelity instead?? bruh, you out-weirding my expectations of you like fuck XD

in the initial tutorials, they said you could chill like this, but didn’t say how. i wanted to get some screens of her hanging off the wall bc that’s a very Bel:tm: thing of her but couldn’t figure it out. then i somehow got her to do it mid mission, so i stared at her dumbstruck for like a whole ass minute before taking a screenshot lmao

PETRA TO THE RESCUE!! (after bel just saved mikasa. gang gang.)

hange saves her toooooooooooo~<3 (if you’re caught by a titan and call for help, selected soldier kills it and grabs you under their arm like a football before proceeding to punt you in a random direction away from the fight lol. they all check in with this LOOK tho. my heart. i’m gonna try and collect them all DX)

fully fledged gang gang TwT

beginning of the 57th~ bel would have been at the back with the supplies so she could help pick up stragglers too. idk if this would be the safest place in the formation (probably the center) but this particular au cadet bel was assigned to bert & reiner’s group before joining up with jean & armin, i think. the babies would be sent to the safest place.

oluo: we should give levi a dust rag!!

bel & all her options after petra gives her a Look: no way no way no way XD

*big uwu energy*

// that’s a wrap for this playthrough! between big missions, you get to “think back to daily life” and leave the battlefield in order to develop the relationships you build with the other soldiers, so that’s why there’s some military slice of life between everything haha

// next time, i hope to post the rest of the narrative & some videos! :*****
