#I actually thought the finale was pretty good

Ugh that's such a good point and I hadn't even thought of before. And to further add on to this I love this scene because it shows that they can match each other.
I mean think of Elphaba here; she's been on the receiving end of other peoples insults her entire life, so much so that's she's built up a pretty thick skin about it. She's expecting the shitty comments about being green, she's expecting that they'll be dumb and not very well though out. She knows what people are going to say, because they've probably already said it to her face plenty of times.
But here, Glinda gets in a quip that's actually clever. Which I don't think Elphaba is expecting, and the look on her face is grateful but I also think she's impressed. Finally she's met someone she can verbally spar with who can actually meet her at her level.
To me, when the camera pans to Elphaba's little half smile she's almost saying "that was well played" with her face, because it is genuinely exciting to her to have someone, even if she "dislikes" her, that she can go toe to toe with.

Knotting
Chris thought you two were the bestest of buds, two peas in a pod... Well, he isn't technically wrong... there is a p in a pod...
Tags: smut (p in v), knotting, mating, riding, hybrid animals (both puppies), mounting, getting caught.
Ever since that shit with Wesker and Jill back in Africa, Chris hasn’t been able to relax. He tosses and turns at night, plagued with the face of Jill, of all the citizens he had to kill just because they were robbed of their humanity. The whole debacle had left him feeling incredibly lonely and filled with the overwhelming sensation that he was never fully alone. Every time he closed his eyes, even for a second, it was like he was in Africa all over again. It got to the point where his coworkers had noticed.
—
“Hey, Chris, you’ve been acting off, lately. " One late night, a guy in HR spoke up when he decided to stay and mess with the thick stack of paperwork that was growing on his desk.
“Really?” Chris mumbled the words, more interested in the hissing of the coffee machine that was currently spewing out the liquid gold he needed. The sound was familiar to him, something that wasn’t the screams of pain and despair that he also got familiar with.
“Yeah, it’s like you’ve been distancing yourself. It’s making your paperwork late.” The little shit huffed, crossing his arms.
Of course, he didn’t care about him, he was just there to ensure his performance was running at full speed. Not like he expected anything else, that’s why he never really talked to the guy. He just partook in the mandatory check-ins to say what is going good and bad in management, only for nothing to be changed because it isn’t “important.” He learned pretty quickly that the BSAA was good for one thing and one thing only, fighting bioterrorism. As long as there was some new monstrosity to humans running amok, their agent’s mental health could wait.
“I hadn’t noticed,” Chris muttered, grabbing the steaming pot of instant coffee and poring it into his mug that was printed with the BSAA logo.
“You know, I think you’re due for some company,” The guy said thoughtfully. What was his actual name again? Todd? Tom? I think it was Tom…
“How I spend my very limited free time isn’t your problem,” Chris said flatly, finally looking up at Tom. “And besides, I don’t have time to foster a new relationship.”
“Oh, I’m not talking about that,” Tim said, smiling at him like it was some kind of joke.
I don’t have the time or patience for this.
“I’m thinking like a pet or something. Animals have been used for therapy forever. I think you need something to soften up that rough exterior of yours.” Ted chuckled, bringing his hand up to shove Chris’ shoulder. He just took a step back.
“…”
“If I can’t deal with a relationship, what makes you think that I can take care of a whole other life?” Chris huffed to save the man some embarrassment. Man, this guy was denser than that loaf of banana bread he tried to make for Jill when she joined S.T.A.R.S. with him.
“Geez, man, are you dense? I swear you live under a rock…” Timmy sighed.
Are you serious…?
“Haven’t you heard? Those new ‘hybrid’ things are all the craze right now.” If they’re being described as things, it can’t be good. “They’re humans, but animals.”
Chris raised his eyebrow at this. “First of all, how is that even possible? And second, why hasn’t the BSAA or government in general shut that down?”
“Well, the guy who was originally splicing all that DNA was arrested, but they couldn’t just kill the little fellows he made, so they put them up for sale. Not everyone could care for their new pet slash human baby, so some got loose and bred like rabbits. They’re everywhere now. Are you seriously telling me you haven’t seen one yet? News? Alley? Other friends?” Billy said.
Chris paused. “You’re telling me that there’s half animal, half-human creatures walking around the city?” The image in his mind was horrific.
“Yeah, they’re kind of cute, cute like a kid and a puppy at the same time,” Ben said with a smile. “But anyways, brought it up ‘cause I think you’d do good with one. They’re easier to train than animals and can do all the same things we can, so you won’t feel bad for leaving them when you’re out doing that bioterrorism stuff. Brady has one.”
“Who?” He knew a Brad once.
“...Brady? He sits right across from you.” Oh right, toupe. “Right, it’s just late,” Chris said, taking a sip of his coffee so he could at least try to properly wrap his mind around the bombshell Bill just dropped on him.
“Yeah, he says she’s the best thing to ever happen to him. But don’t tell his wife he said that.”
Chris let out a dry chuckle, his mind moving on from the papers he had to do. Maybe he could look up these ‘hybrids’ once he got off of work.
“I’ll think about it.” He said before leaving Ben at the coffee machine.
—
It took way less effort than he expected, the papers quickly being filled out since he was getting more and more eager to find out what these hybrids looked like. If Toupe and Bennie thought they were good, as well as everyone else, they couldn’t be that ugly.
Before he knew it, Chris was sitting at his desk, the word ‘Hybrid’ typed up on his monitor. His finger governs over the enter button. Despite all the admittedly cute descriptions, he still couldn’t shake off the fear that they were just the same as all the bioengineered organisms he fought against. He’s killed his fair share of zombie dogs.
Forgetting the zombie dogs, he had always wanted a regular dog. So he amended his search, changing it to ‘Dog Hybrid’ and hit enter.
The results were instantaneous, and he had to admit, they were pretty cute. The ones on the top of Google had round faces, chubby cheeks, bright eyes, floppy ears, and bushy tails. He then looked at maintenance. There was already an abundance of forums describing how to take care of them, what to expect depending on the type of species they derived from, and just some silly stories people wanted to share.
He was sold, and before he knew it, he had made an appointment to a shelter that houses hybrids to see if he could find one.
Of course, he always thought of having a tough-looking dog, big and fluffy. What he didn’t expect was to walk up to the front door and be greeted with two pups playfighting in the small enclosure just past the glass display. When he walked in, they both turned to look at him, yipping with pure energy.
He turned his back to them to greet the front lady who had been looking at him. “I’m here for a consultation? Last name Redfield.”
The lady smiled, walking to the little gate on the side of her to let him in. “Just go down the hall and to the left, there’s a lady there that will help you from there.”
The lady she talked about was very sweet. She didn’t stare at him too long, or ask about his dark eyebags, or even the fact that he didn’t have unstained clothes to wear. She just asked him how much maintenance he was willing to expend for caretaking, as well as some personality inquiries. She said it was to “match him to the perfect pup,” since they only housed dogs.
With that, he was led through so many isles of dog-human things that he didn’t know what to do with himself. Despite the tempting allure of a companion to have when he came back home, it was all a spur-of-the-moment thing. He had yet to accommodate another living being in his house, and the thought of leaving a senior hybrid or puppy alone for long periods was beginning to weigh on his heart all over again.
—
“He was cute!” You said happily, flopping onto Leon’s side. “Imagine what it would be like to be adopted by him.”
It was a pastime for the two of you to look at the people who walked past and theorize about their lives, about what it would be like to be chosen by them.
“I don’t know, he looks like he could crush my head with his bicep.” Leon grimaced, holding his head.
“Oh, but that’s the fun part!” You giggled, pressing your face to his side as your tail wags behind you.
“I guess he looked interested.” Leon smiled, pouncing on you to nip at your neck. You squealed, trying to kick him off of you as he tried to pin you down. “Leon, that tickles!” You tried to catch your breath when he finally pulled away to sit down on the padded floor of the display case. “But that’s the fun part!” He said with a mockingly high-pitched tone as he smirked.
You huffed, jumping on top of him as you tried to repay the favor.
—
“I’m sorry, none of them called out to me,” Chris said, walking back to the front as he tried to ignore the pitiful looks of the hybrids he left behind him. Man, this was a bad idea.
“No worries, I’m glad you don’t feel the need to force yourself, we get a lot of people who fold, only to return them weeks later saying that they couldn’t deal with it.” The lady smiled, waving goodbye as Chris entered the front of the shelter again.
He tried to ignore the way the two of you immediately stopped playing to lean up against the barrier of your enclosure. Both of your tails wagged, and he tried to push out the sound of “He didn’t get anyone! Do you think he came back for us?” coming from your sweet mouth.
God, this was a bad idea.
“Are the ones in the front available?” He found himself asking the first lady. “Those two?” He awkwardly pointed at the two pups that were climbing over each other now that he specifically pointed them out.
“I knew it!”
“We’re free!”
“Of course! They sure are the energetic type… Are you sure you’ll be able to handle them?” The lady said softly. He couldn’t blame her, he had answered her caregiving question with low maintenance.
“Don’t listen to her! We’re well-behaved!”
“Yeah! We’re so good!”
“I’m positive that we’ll be fine.” Chris smiled. No, I’m not, but I can’t say no to those cute faces…
“Well then, just sign these papers right right here for adoption, and then they’re all yours.” The lady smiled, reaching underneath her desk to produce two packets of papers. On the top of each of them were your names. The handwriting was messy, but the glitter pen used on yours made him realize that the two of you signed your names yourselves. The realization was heartwarming, and with the revelation, he could see the personality woven into the childish signatures. This was going to end up great.
—
He couldn’t have been more wrong.
God, he couldn’t have been more wrong. The two of you were endless bounds of energy, like two Tasmanian devils living in his flat. He had thought that the two of you were more human than dog, able to have self-control and discipline like Benjamin had said, but he quickly realized that he adopted two puppies that took a liking to chewing up all the shit in his house no matter how many times he said no.
But he was a man, a stubborn one at that, and he was determined to give the two of you a forever home.
He’s had to put child-proofing on almost all of his furniture and cabinets so that you two didn’t get into his stuff or shred the legs of all his furniture to shit. Eventually, he had to go back to work, where he’d look the two of you in the eye and say “Be good” like a disapproving father before leaving. No matter what was happening at work, his mind was preoccupied with all the things the two of you could be getting up to. He was starting to think of getting a sitter.
When he came home, his blood ran cold. Pained whimpering. Did somebody get hurt? Was someone in danger?
He rushed into his house, finding the source of his sudden anxiety spark. You. His jaw grew slack as he saw you straddling Leon’s thigh, the poor pup fast asleep as you rutted against him. “Hey!” He gasped, grabbing your arm and pulling you off of him. “No! That’s bad!” He admonished you, his ears aflame as he watched you whine and squirm in his grasp. He didn’t know what to do, and he would rather go back to Africa than see that again.
“N-No, feels good! I feel funny, and it helps.” You huffed, kicking your legs.
All the ruckus woke up Leon, his eyes fluttering open as his pupils focused on your whining form. “Huh?” He said softly, sniffing the air and leaning in closer. “Dad… She smells sweet, what’s wrong?” he said thoughtfully, bringing his nose to her crotch and sniffing.
Oh god. “First of all, I told you, I’m not your Dad. Secondly, you need to back up. She’s…sick.” He said tentatively, not wanting to even think about what she’s feeling right now. “Sick?” You said softly, looking up at him with big eyes and a tail between your legs.
“You’ll be fine; you just need to stay in your room for a bit to cool off; it’ll feel better.” Maybe if she stays alone for a bit, she won’t go into a full-blown heat…
—
That didn’t work.
You were fine for a bit, cooling down and reporting that the feeling in your tummy went away, but as soon as he brought you to the same room as Leon, you’d complain all over again. He didn’t know what to do, he read about this, but he supposed that it was his fault for not asking more questions about the… condition the two of you were in. Well, he guessed that he should have asked way more questions.
But these were the cards he was dealt, and he couldn’t keep an eye on you forever, so he left work today with a very serious talk to Leon. “Don’t let her touch you, no matter how much she begs. And if you want to nap, please sleep in your room. Alone.”
Simple, precise, and direct. Of course, he had already told you about what was happening. That it was completely normal, but that it needed to be controlled. He just hoped that you wouldn’t have to suffer for so long. He was already looking up vets to have you spayed.
—
“Dad said we can’t!” Leon sighed, trying to keep his distance as your sickeningly sweet scent saturated the air around him. He could practically see the way it colored the atmosphere. All pink and flowery and like candy. It made his head spin and cock twitch. Wait, that was new. “But it hurts, Leon! I’m all hot and achey and it’s the only thing that makes me feel better. Don’t you wanna make me feel good?” You pouted, walking closer to him again. Only this time, he didn’t take a step back.
“We’ll be quick, he won’t even know! Dad said it’s normal!” You argued your case, coming in closer and closer.
“I suppose… You do feel sick.” Leon sighed, sitting down on the couch. You immediately crawled into his lap, whimpering as you pressed your slicked-up pussy against his thigh, the wetness permeating through the pair of soft shorts you wore. Leon groaned, the smell of your arousal making him feel dizzy but good at the same time. “Maybe this isn’t so bad…” He said as you rutted against his thigh. “D-Do you need anything?” He asked, hands hovering over your hips. “You. Oh my god, you smell so good, Leon.” You groaned, burying your nose into his neck and inhaling.
Leon had no idea what was going on, only that you were sick and maybe he was getting sick, too. His skin felt feverish, and now there was a throbbing in his pants that was becoming increasingly hard to ignore. He was drawn to the scent, not like he needed to be pulled, you were drowning him in it. Choking him with your intoxicating scent that made his hips buck and his mouth water. He knew he should be stopping this before it got too far, but the voice in his head was screaming more, more, more! He groaned, wrapping his arms around your waist in a tight hug, pulling you in closer to rut against his erection.
“Oh god, yes, Leon!” You sobbed, unsure whether to continue indulging in the pleasure of the now or try and soothe the ache deep inside of you. But you had to, the throbbing was borderline painful.
You slipped out of your shorts, tugging his cock out of his sweats. You didn’t know how, but it was like you knew that this was what you needed, the voice in your head yipping in glee. You paused when Leon whimpered, his hips jerking, jolting you up with him. “That feels good, too?” You asked.
“Yeah, feels good…” He whined, gripping the fat of your hips. Never in his life has he felt this good, like putting ice on a burn, eating watermelon in the hot summer heat, or eating a sandwich after getting out of the pool. All the static in his brain cleared, and all that was left was the overwhelming urge to do something with you. He didn’t know what, but he felt like this was as close as it was going to get.
God, was he wrong. There was something better, and it was called ‘being deep inside your best friend as she bounced on your lap like a professional pogo stick rider.’
He was cussing like a sailor as you engulfed him, everything coming full circle as he realized that this was what he was meant to do for the rest of his life. Nothing else he would ever do would compare. He was sure of it. Your pussy was like a godsend and he couldn’t get enough. He tightened his grip, snapping his hips up into your sopping heat as he pulled you down, trying to get as deep as possible. It wasn’t enough, there was a missing piece.
You were a trembling mess, clenching around him and making him whine as he tried to go faster, feeling a ball of something wind up in his chest. “O-Oh my god, Leon, I-I feel something.” You gasped as he groaned, shoving the both of you to the ground as he mounted you. He pushed you into the ground as he arched your back, snapping his hips into you at a brutal pace as his voice grew higher and whinier. “M-Me, too. Wan’it.” He whimpered, moving faster, until he nearly screamed, your pussy clamping down on him as you came. He didn't stop, couldn't stop, the need to fuck you overwhelming. But he didn't last much longer. In just moments, he was cumming ropes and ropes of thick cum into your pussy. The whole thing was overstimulating and honestly a little terrifying. All of the dizziness went away, there wasn't a trace of static, nor was there a voice begging for more. He suddenly felt complete, and that was alarming, not to mention the fact that his dick was swelling inside of you. “H-Hey, are you okay?” He said in alarm. Despite your moans, the feeling of stretching your pussy like this made him nervous.
“So good… Feel so much better…” You mumbled into the hardwood, eyes droopy and body like putty. “That's good…” Leon murmured, finally relaxing with your confirmation and tugging you with him as he flopped to the side, spooning you. He stayed still, his body automatically knowing the process. It was as if he was on autopilot. The thought made him chuckle. He was made to please you.
—
Chris dropped all his things at the front door when he saw the two of you fast asleep.
“Shit!”
I love puppy Leon so much it's not even funny. Trust that he will be back for more.

Missing you, pick up Aein
𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘪 𝘚𝘦𝘶𝘯𝘨-𝘏𝘺𝘶𝘯 / 𝘛.𝘖.𝘗.
When you worry about him and you can't help but call and send more texts than intended because you overthink :<

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
At exactly 2:13 in the morning, you were wide awake. You couldn't sleep at all, Seung-hyun wasn't home because he was off for a recording and more. He told you multiple times before that he'd be away for a lot of times, but of course he makes a shit ton of time for you too, and you absolutely appreciated that. Hell, even when he knew he had shit to do he knows he can't just leave you out like that.
And here you are now, alone in bed, which felt colder and very empty without him. You didn't know exactly why you were thinking like this or feeling like this. Your heart was racing, your mind can't stop making up the most bullshit stuff that a small part of you knows damn well those shit won't happen, but still, you can't help but take short deep breaths.
You were hugging the pillow tightly, hugging it just exactly like how you'd hug Seung-hyun when you slept together. Your hands clutched the pillow tightly, your brows furrowed and your small whimpers and short breaths alongside the sound of the wind outside were the only sounds your ears could hear for now. Your eyes were closed shut, tears daring to form at the corners of your pretty eyes that Seung-hyun loves to look at.
“Aein..”
Your small voice whispered weakly to the silence of the bedroom, your little sniffles were muffled against the pillow until you couldn't take it anymore and finally shifted and sat up. Breathing getting heavier and tears starting to stream down your cheeks as small sobs escaped your lips. With trembling hands, you hesitantly reached out and grabbed your phone.
Your overthinking just got worse.
Seung-hyun hasn't texted or called at all. Why?? Was he still busy? Or was he practicing? Maybe he was still recording? Or just having fun with the rest of the boys? Or what if they went out for a bit? What if a girl—
“Goodness no.” You cut off your thoughts before you could even think of anything worse. Your shaky hands opened your phone, hoping the notifications were just delayed or you accidentally turned on Do Not Disturb. Your heart dropped when you realized Seung-hyun really hasn't sent a text at all or even a call.
You didn't wanna call so suddenly, what if he was busy? It wouldn't hurt to give him a call, right? You were just worried and besides you missed him so much, it's been nearly two weeks since you last saw him, you missed his voice that would tease you and whenever he showed you what he got for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner. Even the boys would peek and say Hi to you or snatch his phone and run off laughing with you giggling on the other side.
You didn't even realize how many texts you sent already and how you already tapped on the call icon and you were waiting for him to answer. And you can't control your tears or sobs anymore, you missed him so much and you badly wanted to know why he didn't even message you since yesterday. You waited...
“Jagiya?” His deep voice instantly made you sob, which got Seung-hyun nearly choking on his drink before he cleared his throat and told the boys he had to step out for a bit. “What's wrong, Jagiya? Why the tears?” He spoke again, softly. He was obviously worried but at the same time he was nervous, he was well aware he couldn't text you at all since yesterday. But he also knew you understand that he was very busy and possibly forgot to text you or he thought he texted you but he actually didn't.
“I was worried.. A-And i miss you.” Your murmur was nearly incoherent due to your sobs and sniffles, but Seung-hyun understood and he spoke gently, “I know Jagiya, I'm so sorry i didn't text you at all, i was so busy i thought i-”
“It's okay Aein.. I know you were busy.. it's just that I got worried and missed you so much.. I.. I was overthinking..” You admitted as you tried to ease your breathing but it only got worse and that didn't go unnoticed by Seung-hyun. “Deep breaths, Jagiya. I'm here, I'm okay.. Deep breaths, okay?” His deep yet soft voice spoke through the phone as you listened and tried to match his breathing even though you could barely hear it. But it was helping you anyway.
“There you go.. A few more, in and out. Until you can breathe properly again, then tell me what happened.” He explained softly, wishing he could just hold you right now and feel your smaller frame in his arms again, he swore you never fail to help him relax after a long time of being busy and with the exhausting touring.
After calming down and telling him everything, his desire to cuddle you again only got stronger. He really got you overthinking that bad, he felt guilty for it and apologized immediately and explained himself like he always does. The call lasted for about an hour and a half, with Seung-hyun going back inside and the boys saying hi to you.
And before he ended the call, “I love you Jagiya, I'll be home soon okay? Soon, i promise. Get some sleep now okay? Please? I'll make sure i send you a text. Good night, Jagiya. Mwah.”— "AWWW HE SAID MWAH!” Dae-sung's voice chimes making you laugh softly. “I love you too Aein, Mwah mwah.. Good nighty! I'll see you soon!”
And the next morning you woke up with a text from Seung-hyun.
Aein💗:
Good morning Aein, I'll be heading for rehearsal today. I'll text you again later. Love you ❤

I've been thinking about this song a lot again since yesterday, and if you'll indulge me in being overly wordy and a bit sentimental, I kinda wanna share some of my thoughts here:
so I alluded to this a bit while rambling on bluesky earlier, but early in the process of composing this song I REALLY wanted it to have lyrics. I tried writing some, and having looked at them again this morning, frankly they're kinda garbage and I stand by my decision to scrap them and let the music just speak for itself. but I only really wanted to write lyrics in the first place because I got ONE specific line (and subsequently a chorus, or at least one version of it) stuck in my head and wanted the rest of the song to kinda revolve around it.
the scrapped verses were sorta loosely about how, when you're younger, you tend to have a very straightforward and simple sense of optimism and justice - kids generally believe that things WILL just work out somehow, and often have surprisingly obvious and on-point responses when they learn about societal issues, but adults will often talk down to them and tell them they just don't understand how the real world works yet. and as you get older, that optimism gets conflated heavily with childlike naivety and kinda gets metaphorically beaten out of a lot of people over time, until they're just kinda consigned to the status quo and thinking of societal problems being too large/permanent for them to fix or influence.
this song was meant to embody a sense of rebellious optimism - a stubborn belief that we have a say in the kind of world we live in, and furthermore that our inner child would never forgive us for shrugging and giving up now that we're finally Adults and Adults are supposed to be the ones with the power to actually Fix Things. it was meant to evoke some nostalgia too, sure - thus the title "Grass Stains", which came from the scrapped first verse about childhood, and also just the general musical style being reminiscent of pop punk music I really liked as a kid and still tend to associate with summertime and old video games from that era. but more than that, I wanted to convey the idea that, sooner or later, we have to stop waiting for the Adults to decide how to fix things and get a hand on the ball ourselves; the idea that growing up should empower us, not make us cynical and detached and too tired to care anymore.
anyways, I will spare you most of the unfinished lyrics because I really do promise they're not interesting or good at all, but here's the chorus part and the specific last line that I was really fixated on back then and (for reasons that are probably not hard to imagine) thinking a lot about again now:
you keep pacing
so sullenly facing
away from the task left to you
why can't you see it?
if you want hope, then be it
those gears aren't just going to move
you gotta change the world, before it changes you
so yeah. shit's rough out there right now. shit's been rough for a while and it's gonna continue being rough for the foreseeable future. like I mentioned in the original caption, i wrote this song when I was feeling pretty awful (both mentally and physically, actually - I'm pretty sure I had covid for the second time when I made this lol) and needed something to perk up my mood, and it... kinda worked honestly? and now when I listen to it again I still kinda get a boost from it, especially if I let myself think back to the original message I was trying to imbue it with. it's hard for me to feel totally hopeless or unmotivated while I'm listening to it, and I hope that energy sorta comes through for other people too (though I would obviously be just as happy that people like the music I made anyways, without deeper context or ideas attached to it).
I guess i just wanna say this: remember that the world's gonna change one way or another, but your contributions to it are never meaningless, and their absence would be felt. and you also have the power to embolden and support those around you to become a stronger force for good together. the only real way to fail in all of this is to give up and lay down and let whatever happens wash over you, to believe them when they treat you like you're too small to be a threat or a challenge. and even if you don't believe your efforts matter to anyone else, let them matter to you. if you want hope, then be it. strive to be a force for good in spite of all opposition, and that goodness will in turn continue to propel you forwards.
ok I think that's about as sappy I can stand to be, I'm going to bed lol
hey i finished a new song!! check it out!!
my prompt for starting this was essentially "i'm in a bad mood and i want to make music that'll fix that". apparently what that translated to was whatever genre "music that would make 9-year-old me think they could do a backflip off the swings at the park" is, but like... it DID cheer me up? so, mission accomplished? i hope you enjoy it too!
♫ made with OpenMPT! ✎ cover art by me!
#look at it again#buny text#feeling very self conscious about posting this addition honestly but it was literally preventing me from falling asleep til i got it out#it's past my bedtime so i am going to go ahead and use that as my excuse if this turns out to be corny and insufferable

More SK!Reader
Little things about SK!Reader that I just wanna throw out there, but don’t want to elaborate on fully just yet
Also has a public persona used for galas, press, and the elite, a mini-me of Bruce's “Brucie Wayne”
Has sat in on a lot of Gordons rooftop debriefs with the batfam, is counting how many times until the family notices
Started operating as a serial killer shortly after Damian's arrival to the manor
Bullied in elementary and middle school, decently popular in highschool, very popular in college
Before they stopped hurting animals, reader did not have a good handle of their “cuteness aggression”, which spiraled, clearly, but they handle it better now
Thinks the Joker is a complete hack, but he keeps the family busy so they haven’t bothered to do anything about it
When Jason died, they got a lot colder and stopped wanting Bruce and Dicks acknowledgement as much
Reader is deathly afraid of their older brother, Dick Grayson, for… reasons
Thin scars line the Readers palms from Damian’s sword, often has them covered
Has mixed feelings about their mom
They started taking extracurriculars like gymnastics, boxing, fencing, and various different martial arts as a way to “keep up” with their family, for the day they finally acknowledged them
Along the way it morphed into a drive to be better then the family and to keep the intrusive thoughts away
The only other school incident on SK!Readers record is an altercation in high school
Would've been caught pretty early on if it wasn’t for Jason’s debut as the Red Hood taking up a lot of the family’s attention
Refuses to use guns, it’s like an inside joke with the family, except the family isn’t in on it
Actually tried to take on an older sibling role with Jason when he arrived
Jason appreciated it, even if he thought you were a bit creepy

❛ BEGGIN’ ❜
𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉…chris loves to make you beg. asshole.
cw: SMUT, unprotected p in v, oral (m receiving), begging, freaky, dumbification, creampie
based on this from like 17 years ago LMAO
you couldn't help but feel a familiar tingle between your thighs as chris’ voice filled the room, his words dripping with that familiar mix of dominance and playful teasing. it was a game you both loved to play—well, chris more than you—but sometimes, his stubbornness could be frustratingly arousing.
“come on, angel," he said, his dark eyes sparkling with mischief. "you know the rules. y’want something, you gotta ask for it."
you pouted, knowing exactly what he was referring to. the bulge in his pants was evident, and you craved every inch of him.
but chris—that mean motherfucker—had a thing for making you beg, and today, he seemed to be in a particularly teasing mood. every time he acted like this, it was like he was just sucking the dignity out of you.
“please, chris," you whined, batting your eyelashes at him. "you know i want it. why do you have to be so mean?"
he chuckled, the sound sending shivers down your spine. chris loved to see you squirm, and your feisty attitude only fueled his desire to tease.
“mean? me? oh, i’m just making sure you learn some manners, pretty. you can't always get what you want by pouting." that’s…such bullshit! chris was, in fact, mean.
frustration and desire battled within you. you wanted to straddle him and take what was rightfully yours, but something about his dominant demeanor always made you hesitate.
chris had a way of making you submit, and you secretly loved the power he held over your body.
"fine," you huffed, crossing your arms. “i want you. happy now?"
chris’ eyes darkened at your bold words, but he maintained his playful facade. "that’s a good start, but i think you can do better. i wanna hear you beg, baby. you know how much i love it.”
unfortunately, you did know how much he loved it. and it drove you absolutely fucking insane.
you felt your cheeks flush, both from anger and arousal. chris was pushing your buttons, and you were determined to show him you could play this game too.
“i—fuck—i need you, chris," you stammered, feeling a little embarrassed but also excited by the vulnerability in your voice. "please, don't tease me anymore. i’m so wet for you." you’d finally given in and dropped any ounce of dignity you ever had to the bottom of the atlantic ocean.
he took a step closer, his tall frame towering over you. "wet, hm? well, that's a start. but i want to hear you say it like you mean it. tell me how bad you want my dick."
is he fucking serious? this man must be insane.
your heart raced as you actually processed his words. chris was demanding, but you craved his touch. you wanted him to know that you were desperate for his hard length inside you.
"...i want your dick, chris," you whispered. “really want it…”
a satisfied smirk played on his lips, and you knew you had finally hit the right note. chris loved to hear you surrender to your desires.
“that’s my good girl," he purred, reaching out to stroke your cheek gently. "but i think we should take this slow. i want to savor every moment."
fuck.
as he spoke, his fingers trailed down your neck, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. you shivered, craving his touch everywhere.
"please, chris," you begged, your voice breaking. “i can’t take it anymore—i need you now."
he chuckled low, his breath hot against you. "impatient, aren't we? but i think i’ll make you wait a little longer. you want something, you use your words, pretty. or maybe i’ll just stop right here and leave you hanging. you wouldn't want that, would you?”
your breath caught in your throat. the thought of him stopping now, after teasing you to the brink of madness, was almost unbearable. you needed release, and chris unfortunately held the key.
“no, please," you pleaded, your voice thick with need. "i’ll do anything. just don't stop. i need you, chris. please fuck me." wow! where the hell did that come from! guess you just really have your sights set…
his eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he took a step back, enjoying the power he held over you. "on your knees, baby, cmon. show me how much you want it."
complying without hesitation, you dropped to your knees, your eyes never leaving his. his strained against his pants, and you couldn't wait to set it free.
“that’s it," he encouraged, his voice husky. "now, tell me again how much you want this." you reached for his belt, your fingers trembling.
“i-i want your cock, chris. so bad—please, i—“
with a swift motion, he unbuckled his belt, and you eagerly pulled down his zipper. his thick, hard length sprang free, and you couldn't resist leaning in to lick his tip.
“oh, fuck," he groaned, his hand tangling in your hair. "that’s it, baby. take what you want, go ahead..shit..”
you wrapped your lips around the head of his cock, swirling your tongue around the sensitive tip. chris hissed, his grip tightening in your hair as you took him deeper, savoring the taste of him.
“fuck, yes," he growled, his hips thrusting gently. "suck it, pretty—c’mon.”
you moaned around his length, the vibrations driving him wild. chris was already close, and you wanted to taste his release, but of course he had other plans.
“enough, baby," he said, pulling you away gently. "i want to feel your pretty pussy—i’ve teased you enough, haven't i?"
oh, he definitely has!
you whimpered, craving his touch between your legs. "yes, please. i need you inside me…”
chris smirked, his eyes full of promise. "oh, i’ll give it to you, baby. but first, i want to hear you beg for it one more time."
seriously.
as he spoke, he trailed his fingers along your inner thighs, making you squirm with anticipation. you were putty in his hands, and the both of you knew it.
“please, chris," you begged, your voice hoarse. "fill me up—i can't take it anymore."
he leaned down, his lips brushing against your ear. "that’s what i like to hear, baby. now, let's see if you can take all of me."
with that, he positioned himself at your entrance, teasingly rubbing the head of his cock against your clit, making you gasp and arch your back.
"please, chris—" you cried out, desperate for him to fill the void he had created. and just as you thought he would deny you again, he thrust forward, stuffing you full in one smooth motion. you cried out, your body adjusting to his size as he stretched you deliciously.
"fuck, you feel so good," he grunted, his hips moving in a slow, torturous rhythm.
he pulled out almost entirely, leaving you gasping, before slamming back into you, hitting all the right spots. you clawed at his shoulders, your nails digging into his skin as you tried to pull him closer.
but chris was relentless, his thrusts calculated to drive you wild. he knew exactly how to make you beg, and he wasn't going to let up anytime soon.
“mmph—chris—i—y’so big…so full—mmh!” you pathetically stammered out. chris chuckled darkly. “yeah, baby? fillin’ you up so well, hm? fuck—take this shit so well..•
as he continued to fuck into you, your body trembled on the edge of release, craving the climax he was withholding. you were putty in his hands, and you knew that this time, chris was going to make you work for it.
“pl-please, chris," you whimpered, your voice raw from pleading. "i-i can't! i need to cum—please—“
he smirked, his eyes full of mischief. "not yet, baby. i want to hear you beg some more. tell me how much you need it."
you were beyond words, your body trembling with need. you could hardly think—your mind was foggy, barely any thoughts flowing through. chris was fucking you absolutely stupid. he had pushed you to the brink, and you were desperate for release.
"...i need—ngh—it, chris," you managed to gasp. “fuck—please—so close."
with a growl, he complied, his thrusts becoming more urgent, slamming into you with abandon. you cried out, your body trembling as the pleasure built to an unbearable peak.
"that’s it, baby," he grunted, his breath hot against your neck. "cum for me. let me feel it, cmon.”
and as if his words were the final push you needed, you shattered around him, your orgasm ripping through your body as you cried out his name. “fuckkk, that’s my girl.” chris followed soon after, his release hot and intense as he filled you with his essence.
sure, chris was mean, especially with all this shit he pulled.
but, you wouldn’t have it any other way.
a/n: HI so this kinda sucked but i needed to write one of my annual singular smuts in between all of the fluff and angst ive been doing LMFAO hope you liked it anyway

Tech Tuesday: Steve Rogers
Summary: Steve and Newbie go on their first date!
A/N: Reader is female. No physical descriptors used.
Previous
Tech Tuesdays Masterlist
Steve can't remember the last time he felt so nervous. Well, no, the last time he was this nervous it was when he was trying to ask you out. But you said yes and now he's the most nervous he's ever been for a date!
He wishes he could grow out of the awkwardness he'd lived for so many years. That he could finally be the cool, confident person everyone thought he was until he started talking. As many muscles as he worked on, it couldn't stop him from being a dork. Especially around a beautiful woman like you.
He sighs fondly, remembering when you'd accidentally run into him, giving him a hug to keep from falling. For weeks afterwards he was kicking himself for not doing something smooth or giving you a cool pickup line or something. Instead he just hugged you back and asked if you were okay. He even stuttered as he spoke! The fact that you agreed to a date was nothing short of a miracle as far as he was concerned.
He'd gone over the itinerary with Bucky enough times that he didn't even have to say anything before Bucky was assuring him it was a good first date plan. Dinner at a diner you'd mentioned liking followed by one of those wine and painting classes. Food first so the wine wouldn't sour your stomach. And painting instead of sketching to avoid complaints that he was trying to prove his superiority.
He still winces when he thinks of Peggy being so angry that he was good at drawing. It was a bullet dodged, yes, but he still hates that she thought he was trying to be better than her. But painting wasn't his strong suit, so hopefully this would be better.
At the same time you're going through your closet, getting advice from Spitfire and Bubbles about what to wear since you don't trust your own opinion. You've been pining after Steve since your first day in the office and he actually asked you out! You don't want him to regret doing so.
"I think you should go casual," Spitfire proposes. "He sees you in your work clothes all the time, let him see what you normally look like outside of work."
"That's a good idea!" Bubbles encourages. "Especially if he's taking you to some more casual places like you said."
"But I wanna be like, sexy or something," you complain. "My casual clothes are just so plain."
"Just wear some cherry red lipstick," Bubbles comments. "He seems the type to go weak for that."
Spitfire nods in agreement. "Plus, if he's as interested as he seems, he's gonna find you sexy regardless of what you're wearing."
"That's true," Bubbles concurs.
You sigh in exasperation. "Okay, okay. I get what you're saying. But I still wanna look...good? I don't want him embarrassed to be seen with me!"
"If he even hints that he is, you let us know and we'll knock him straight," Spitfire retorts, making you smile and giggle. You're very grateful to have friends willing to go to bat for you.
You finally settle on a pair of dark jeans and a pastel long-sleeved t-shirt with your lucky flannel jacket. You feel comfortable and Spitfire and Bubbles are quick to assure that you look good.
Steve is waiting in his car outside your apartment building. He wasn't sure you'd be okay with his motorcycle and figured the car would be safer. As soon as you step outside, he's out of the car and opening the passenger door for you. You smile at the gesture and Steve beams at you.
When your close enough he can take in how you look, he's rendered speechless. You always look pretty when you're wearing your work clothes but now? You look absolutely stunning and he can't believe he's so lucky to get to take you on a date. He stumbles over his words a few times before finally saying, "you look so beautiful!"
Heat rushes to your face and you giggle, making him blush. "You really think so?"
"Absolutely," he breathes. You swear you've never felt prettier in your life.
"Thank you," you shyly reply. "You're looking very handsome, too." His blush deepens and he rubs a hand on the back of his head as he mumbles his thanks.
You take your spot in the passenger seat and Steve, all smiles, gets into the driver seat, feeling like he's walking on air.
The drive to the diner is mainly spent with each of you trying to say something but accidentally interrupting each other, followed by awkward giggling.
"This is a really nice car," you finally manage to get out.
"Oh, thanks," he blushes. "It's old, but definitely reliable. And way more comfortable than the Beetle I used to have."
"You used to have a Beetle? How did you fit?" You slap your hand over your mouth in embarrassment as you think about how rude your question could be.
Thankfully he laughs. "It was when I was a lot smaller. I used to be really scrawny."
"Really?"
"Had a lot of health problems growing up," he shrugs. You give a consolatory "aww" and he continues. "Finally got the medical help I needed and now I'm..." he gestures to his physique.
"I'm so glad you got your health in order. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be."
"Admittedly, I took that frustration out on others. Bullies, specifically, just so you know. They kept poking fun at me, so I kept fighting back."
"That's so brave of you! I'd have run away and cried." Like I do at work, you think.
"Bucky definitely wishes that was the case for me," Steve chuckles. "The number of times he had to come to my rescue..."
You chuckle at that. "So you've been friends for quite some time?"
"Yeah. He's also the one that, once my health issues were under control, helped me figure out a workout so I could be less scrawny."
"That's so good of him."
"He did make me promise that I'd stop fighting so much but I still get so riled up around bullies."
You place a hand on his arm, "well thank you for not punching my boss, bully that she is."
"Yeah, well..." he stutters for a bit, his face turning redder. "If she ever gets to be too much, you just let me know, okay? I'm good friends with HR."
"Thank you, Steve."
As you get more comfortable around each other the date becomes filled with laughter and bad jokes. You leave the diner with full bellies and big smiles.
At the class, you haven't even sipped at your first glass of wine but you can't stop giggling with Steve. The teacher for the class tells everyone there's no pressure to be perfect so don't worry about any mistakes. Steve leans into your ear and whispers, "just brush it off." You have to bite your tongue to keep from laughing out loud but he feels the way you're shaking with laughter and his eyes sparkle when he looks at you.
"Don't get too confident," you whisper back. "I'm easel-y impressed." Now it's Steve's turn to bite back a laugh while visibly shaking.
"You know why you should be careful around artists?" Steve whispers. "They're pretty sketchy."
"I still can't believe you're real," you whisper back, "and not just a pigment of my imagination."
Neither of you wants to disrupt the class but you just can't help how good you're feeling. How comfortable you both are with each other. How much more relaxed the atmosphere of the date has gotten. And you can't even blame the wine since you've barely finished a single glass.
The only time Steve freezes up is when you snuggle up to him, putting your head on his shoulder while you think about what color to pick next. He swears his heart stopped in that moment but he never wanted it to end.
The only moment that topped that was when he dropped you off back at your apartment. He walked you up to your building, like the gentleman he is, and you actually kissed him goodnight. It wasn't a deep kiss, but it was still full of affection and warmth and Steve wanted to drop to his knees and thank you. You giggle at the lipstick left on his lips and try to rub it away but he stops you, his smile never dropping.
"Can we do this again?" he pleads.
You give a shy nod, "next weekend?"
"Next weekend," he confirms.

Kalafina Anniversary Live 2025 Report
It's finally here, sorry for the long wait!! Let me share some overall thoughts first( ^_^)/~~~
Venue: Probably the newest and fanciest venue I‘ve ever been to. Loved all the screens with Kalafina visuals. They had them across the entire area, some bigger, some smaller and a really big one in front of the venue itself. The theater appeared to be a bit intimidating at first glance but I actually appreciated the layout, I feel like you got to have a pretty decent view from most places, even in the upper balconies.
Collaboration events: This one was somewhat of a fail for me. Originally, I wasn’t too impressed with most of the collaboration food but I was still eager to get it, especially the stuff that was wrapped nicely. The chocolates looked lovely but they were already sold out when I arrived at 11:00 on the 15th.🥲Was also planning to get the katsu sandwich in the Kalafina packaging but that was sold out as well. Not afraid to admit that I cried a little when I realised I woudn't be able to get them...I did get one of those gorgeous tray sheets at Taco Bell at least🙌 Managed to secure one of those tiny photo cards too but meh, honestly nothing to write home about. Gave me the opportunity to write something on the message board though so that’s a good thing 👍 The whole gacha situation was a challenge to say the least. So exhausting! I got a numbered ticket (#127) for the queue so I could start lining up at 13:30 (was actually one of the first people to enter). This worked out pretty smoothly and everyone was able to enter earlier than expected. At first I was lining up in the wrong queue because they were telling people they had to go through the on-site merch sale area first. Thankfully, a staff member came over and guided me and some others to the direct queue (after all, I wasn’t planning to buy any merch since I had already made my reservation). My first gacha round didn’t take too long since most people were still busy buying merch and there were a total of ten machines (also had prepared my 500 yen coins the day before so I didn't have to line up to change my money). I was moderately lucky but didn’t get some of the items I wanted🙃 So after I picked up my live goods during my assigned time slot, I got back in the queue to do a second gacha round😅. This time the wait was long, probably an hour or so. Also, 10,000 yen just gone☠️Thanks to @concretebadger and my super kind friend, I managed to get the complete set! BANZAI🤗 I also got two lovely tokutens for participating in the big flower stand project (a postcard and badge of the drawing). Almost didn't get to meet up with the organisers of the project but thankfully I ran into them right before the start of the show (generally, I find it fascinating how many people I managed to run into despite the sheer amount of people at the venue - thanks to everyone who said 'hi').
Seat: I really liked my seat and am glad I went for the balcony area. Had a completely unobstructed view of the stage🥰It was a little further away of course but I did bring my binoculars so it was fine.👍 In my vicinity people were thankfully not very keen to stand up all the time so I had one less thing to worry about. The screens on the side were also a perfect size to see their facial expressions. The people in charge of the projections made sure to include a lot of close-ups 😍 Bless them!
Sound: Maybe it was just my specific location towards the left side on the balcony but the sound system was a bit off I think, or possibly the manipulator did a horrible job with the mixing? How did everyone else feel about this? The background music was often overly loud (if not to say obnoxiously noisy) and drowned out the vocals. During some parts, it was honestly hard to hear the girls among all the other noises. It was much better during songs that had a more simple or acoustic arrangement. The microphones seemed to have some issues too at times because there were a few distortions (?) which made their voices sound different (?) and occasionally, you just couldn’t hear them singing the beginning of certain lines - this could theoretically be chalked up to them being hesitant and starting too quiet (Wakana does that at times) but it happened a little too often to all three of them which is why I‘m assuming there might have been some technical issues.
Vocals: What are seven years? Nothing! It was like no time had passed at all! Some people may disagree but for the most part, the girls sounded amazing to me! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and very rarely heard notes that made me cringe. I was amazed how they managed to just pick up where they left off. Of course there were parts that were less flattering and they had some of their usual hiccups but I feel like they handled everything pretty well. Have they done better and more polished live renditions of some of these songs in the past? Probably (tho there were some stand-out performances that impressed me more than their old versions). Overall, there was clearly a lot of effort and love put into each and every performance and at the end of the day, that's all that counts for me. They didn’t “phone-in” their singing, they put all their heart into it and you could tell. I even liked songs that I am usually not such a huge fan of (e.g. “ring your bell” and “ Alleluia”). Also, say what you will but there’s a huge contrast between the YKL Kalafina covers and the real thing, it’s almost jarring how different they sound so I particularly appreciated performances of the songs that had previously been covered at YKL. Needless to say, I much prefer the real thing! It's just not the same without Wakana and I must say, Wakana delivered solid vocals during most songs that required those super high and long notes. Hikaru also did a great job and sounded powerful throughout most of the setlist. She was getting visibly tired though towards the end of the up-beat section (Wakana on the other hand surprised me with her stamina). As for Keiko, do I even have to say it? She delivered a fabulous performance as one would expect from her. She nailed all her epic long notes (e.g. “Hyakka Ryouran”, “Kyrie”, “Hikaru Furu” - she sounded better than she did during the 10th Anniversary Live if you ask me)
Production & arrangement: Honestly nothing special or outstanding. They kept it simple and remained faithful to Kalafina’s usual M.O. The focus was on their voices and there wasn’t anything extravagant to distract from that. On the contrary, I feel like there was a conscious effort being made to include more acappella parts to highlight their harmony. With the exception of a few instrumentals and solos, I don’t think Satoshi Takebe added a lot of creative twists to change the original sound. He even mentioned in a tweet that he wanted to pay tribute to Yuki Kajiura’s work, stay true to her music/style and not make it his own or anything. On this note, I would like to add that YK's absence was not really an issue. As I have mentioned a few times already, YK has rarely been an integral part of their live productions so her not being in charge of this concert, has done nothing to affect its quality.
Atmosphere: 1000/10. The girls were in such a good mood and determined to make this concert the best experience ever. It really felt like they had never been apart. Their interactions with each other were heart-felt and didn’t come across as staged or forced. You could tell how much they missed performing together. The audience was also super responsive and everyone seemed to have the time of their lives (myself included of course).
Setlist: Admittedly, it wasn’t what I had hoped for but it was pretty much what I had expected from this sort of live so I can’t be mad. And there were a few really pleasant surprises that I didn’t think they would include (“Hanataba”, “Lacrimosa”, “Kyrie” and “Hyakka Ryouran”) so YAY for that. Also beyond happy that they did an acoustic version of “sprinter” because that’s so much better than the studio version (which I typically don’t like). Same goes for "KnGnN". Check out a detailed report below the cut 〈(•ˇ‿ˇ•)-→
1 oblivious: I knew it was coming and it’s usually not a song I’m particularly fond of but this performance may have been the best one I’ve ever heard (biased opinion but hey, you can’t blame me for that😅). The song kicked me right in the feels! Or maybe it was just like a dream come true to hear/see them together again! When they appeared on stage, they looked like angels. What a revelation to see them in all their glory once the sheer curtain was dropped. They sounded amazing, absolutely breathtaking! Was impressed by everyone’s vocals. Shout-out to Hikaru for her high notes! For a few lines in the beginning, Wakana didn’t quite sound like herself (the distortion I was talking about earlier?) but I am not sure if it was a lowered pitch or something the manipulator did on purpose to smooth out her voice. It sounded okay and wasn’t too distracting so I didn’t mind it. Later on, her voice sounded like it usually did during “oblivious” so maybe it was just a glitch or whatever. When Wakana and Keiko did their little back-and-forth duet thingy, I almost started crying because I had missed them so much. WaKei FOREVER 🤗
2 Kizuato: A bit bummed that they didn’t perform “Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku” (then again, I might have died instantly so it was probably a good thing) but this was a beautiful performance so I can’t complain. The three of them once again sounded amazing and their harmonies were to die for.
3 Mirai: Typically one of their weaker live performances and this was no exception. But really, it’s about getting that connection with the audience, running around on stage, greeting the audience and having fun. I don’t mind if it’s not polished and I usually don’t even pay attention to that during this song.
4 Hikari no Senritsu: Felt a bit all over the place so I wasn’t quite able to get into it. The music was overbearing at times and it took away from the charm of a few individual lines. I expected to be touched by the performance since Keiko had been going on and on about how this was her favourite song to sing together but I didn’t have a particularly strong reaction to it. To be fair though, it has never been one of my favourite songs so that might have been the reason for my rather lukewarm reaction. An interesting cello solo from Masateru spiced things up a little but otherwise, there weren’t any significant changes.
5 storia: For this one, I always keep my expectations low regarding vocals because I know it’s a hit and miss when it comes to Wakana and Hikaru. It’s been like this forever so I’m not surprised to hear them struggling at times. Nevertheless, this is a song I have always enjoyed so I can easily look past minor issues. As expected, the girls did struggle a bit (Hikaru in particular didn't deliver the most flattering performance) but it was totally fine. That final chorus once again caught me right in the feels, especially the WaKei part🥹Both the YKL cover and Wakana's solo cover are still fresh in my mind so to finally hear the song as it is meant to be, feels like such a blessing.
6 ring your bell: The piano intro was a bit misleading and for a couple seconds there, I seriously thought they would be introducing a brand new song 😅 It was a nice touch though, I do enjoy intros like that (probably Takebe's idea). Surprisingly, I liked this performance more than I thought I would. I usually give this one a pass because I don't care for the unflattering vocals. I've never understood why it keeps getting performed when it is such a challenging song. But this time, I honestly enjoyed almost all of it (especially Wakana's parts at the end- she did a great job here). Those YK cover versions pale in comparison if you ask me.
7 Hanataba: What a surprise! 😮 Possibly one of their best (if not the best) performances of the night. Usually not a fan of the accordion but here I didn’t mind it. They made some minor changes to the arrangement to highlight the accordion and the vocals. The girls were on fire, especially Hikaru. You could tell she was happy that her chosen song made it onto the setlist.
8 Lacrimosa: From one surprise to another. I was actually expecting them to sing “Consolation” at this point because according to the previous MC, this was meant to be their “Consolation” album block. Would have been happier with “Consolation” to be honest but “Lacrimosa” was a nice treat too. The background music was quite loud again so some vocal parts weren’t discernible or got overshadowed by other stuff.
9 Manten: I don't remember much from it so it must not have stood out to me.
10 to the beginning: Never liked it but this time, I had a blast. A fantastic performance with so much energy and love put into it. The audience went crazy of course so that was also fun to watch. While I personally do not stand up for songs and categorically refuse to partake in any weird arm movements (clapping is the most I will do), I still think it's nice to see everyone so invested.
11 Kimi no Gin no Niwa with strings: This was beautiful. Just strings and piano, might have been my favourite rendition of all time (and I am usually not even such a huge fan of the song). Quite a few more acappella lines than usual I think. Gorgeous arrangement.
12 sprinter with strings: What can I say? Perfect. No notes. Tears everywhere. So glad they decided to go for an acoustic version (by now we all know how much I dislike the studio version). It wasn't as emotional as that Arena Live encore performance but for me, it came pretty close.
13 Hyakka Ryouran: Became a big fan after the 10th Anniversary performance. Didn't expect them to include it once again in the setlist but I certainly didn't mind. This one was just as solid I would say although I feel like Keiko was actually a bit stronger here than she was back then, especially during her "yaiba".
14 misterioso: Meh, one of my least favourite Kala-songs but coincidentally, one of their most frequently performed tracks. I have always wondered why but I guess there are a lot of people who love it (especially in the anisong community). Wasn't really into it so I don't remember anything significant.
15 One Light: Super happy about it. A perfect candidate for their up-beat corner and really a true banger. Don't think there has ever been a bad performance of this, they always slay. I believe they missed the mark a little on that moment where they all come together to raise their arms right before the climax. It felt a little rushed so the cameras for the screen didn't capture it properly XD (it was probably fine for those in the front rows who could see every detail up-close). Either way, the audience erupted into cheers when Hikaru did her infamous "yukeru" kneel.
16 Kyrie: Wooohoo, one of my favourite Kala-songs so I am always excited to hear it performed live. Certainly a surprise though because I didn't think it would be chosen for their Anniversary Live setlist. The audio was pretty messy during this one and I was sad to hear that Keiko's drawn out "Kyrie" at the end didn't get as much attention as it deserved.
17 Ongaku: It started out a little weird in a slightly different tempo than I am used to (at least I think so?). It was a minor thing but big enough to distract me a little for a minute or so. Keiko slayed though and Super!Wakana knocked it out of the park (loved how Keiko held her hand when she helped her walk up the stairs for the solo)
18 heavenly blue: A long-ass up-beat section comes to an end with another banger. After this one, Keiko even said that this was one of their most challenging corners they ever did. It's always fun when Keiko asks the audience after "Ongaku" if we can handle yet another up-beat song (of course we can!) and they transition right into either "Signal" or "heavenly blue" (pretty much their go-to songs for an epic ending). I do love "heavenly blue" so I am happy they included it. The background vocals during the bridge were a little too loud for my taste so you couldn't hear the girls properly (the bridge is one of my favourite parts of the song).
19 Alleluia: There was no doubt in my mind that they would either finish the main section or the entire concert with this song. Didn't expect to love the performance as much as I did. Usually not the biggest fan of the song since Wakana's parts are not particularly flattering for her and even Keiko tends to get a little shouty at times. But this time, I rally enjoyed the song and the minor issues didn't really register with me all that much. Guess I was just too deep into the emotions they were trying to convey.
En1 Magia: So glad they included this! I always thought it was a shame that it didn’t make it onto the 10th Anniversary setlist. We heard a lot of YK cover versions in the past couple of years (to a point where I was getting a little tired of the song) but this revived my love 😍 So good!! The guitar solo sounded weird to me and didn’t have a proper transition to Keiko’s bridge part but that might just be my personal perception. Maybe the guitar fans among you thought it was great😅Keiko’s solo also lacked a bit of oomph but I think it was her microphone’s fault 🙃Hikaru sounded a bit quiet too at times. Hopefully they can fix those minor issues with some studio magic before they do the TV broadcast.
En2 Hikari Furu: Another elaborate piano intro (different from the ones that Sakurada used to do) but this time it was pretty obvious they would sing "Hikari Furu" so I didn't have to guess. Unfortunately, the song sounded a little meh vocal-wise, certainly one of their messier live versions and overall, one of the least enjoyable performances of the night for me which is a huge shame because this is one of my all-time faves. Lots of things came together here so I can’t put the blame on a single factor. For some reason, their voices wouldn’t blend well together and both Wa and Hi had a few too many screechy moments. Wakana sounded almost hoarse when she started singing (maybe she got a little emotional?) and at the end she had some very noticeable shaking during her long notes (I know she has that a lot for her solo stuff too but I didn’t really notice it all that much in other songs from that night but here it was hard to ignore). The background music was also quite loud during the climax of the song so it didn’t exactly help to make it sound better. Keiko delivered an awesome "mabushii asa" though.
En3 into the world: Perfect ending to be honest and again, nothing beats this, not even a YKL cover (although I will say that I enjoy those too). It was kinda bittersweet though. Obviously this song is about taking new paths, not knowing what lies ahead. And really, this is what we have to deal with right now.
At this point, the future is blurry, no one knows what will happen to Kalafina. The girls didn’t even hint at any possible future activities. There was just an endless amount of appreciation for the past and present. Every time one of them thanked the fans for patiently waiting for Kalafina’s return, I couldn’t help but tear up a little. Yes, the wait was rough and I am sure many people lost hope along the way but I personally always knew we'd see them back together again. And when Wakana straight up broke into tears during an MC (with Keiko comforting her and shielding her from the cameras), I cried like a baby (especially when Wakana cried even harder and made Keiko tear up too) 🥲 All the pent-up emotion just came to the surface. Hikaru on the other was determined not to cry throughout the whole concert. They are too precious for this world!! I really hope they don't cut this moment from the broadcast (but knowing them, they probably will). For the time-being, I’ll just follow Keiko’s advice and continue listening to Kalafina and love them🥰Who knows, maybe one day…? I'll never give up hope and I don't think the girls will either. While she didn't outright say it, Keiko couldn't help but utter a few hopeful words, more like a prayer actually, "叶うならまた~/And if my wish would come true, maybe [we can do this/sing together] again~" It was an amazing concert, I had the time of my life and will treasure those memories forever. Thank you Kalafina!!
Cannot wait for the TV broadcast to experience all of this again and to relive every little detail. I should have written the report right away (or taken some extensive notes) when my memories were still fresh but my schedule for the following days was simply too busy. Now I'm back home and fighting against a jet-lag so the finer details are escaping me T_T (I feel like I am getting a few things mixed up and don't even know which things happened in which MC)

Avatar Yangchen's Favorite Foods
My winter break boredom combined with my chronic writing procrastination have combined to form Yangchen Thoughts at never before seen levels.
AKA, I was doing a bit of research into potential Air Nomad cuisine and suddenly found myself needing to know what Yangchen's favorite foods would be. So here we are.
Most of the foods listed will be primarily of Tibetan origin, considering that is the main cultural inspiration for the Air Nomads. However, because Yangchen spent a large portion of her life in different Earth Kingdom cities, there will be some dishes taken from other cultures as well. I will be providing links to as many recipes as possible! (Note: some of the recipes themselves are not vegetarian, but could easily be modified so to fit with the Air Nomads' vegetarian lifestyles).
Now, when it comes to food, Avatar Yangchen strikes me as someone who prioritizes function over flavor. Obviously she prefers her food to taste good, but she's more concerned with what said food can do for her, convenience-wise. She prefers foods that can be eaten on the go, snacked on while working, or downed relatively quickly. As well, she wants her food to be on the filling side, which lessens the amount of time she has to spend eating. She's quite pragmatic about her food. (Is this a good thing? I suppose that's up to you to decide). Finally, her cooking skills are pretty minimal, so most of her favorite dishes are quite simple to make.
Most of this post will be under a cut because, as per usual, I can never make anything short :)
Butter Tea
This is a very traditional Tibetan drink, and it's one that Yangchen would have grown up drinking. It's actually mentioned in The Dawn of Yangchen! It's a drink she would find very comforting, as well as filling due to it being nearly half butter.
Breakfasts
Tomato Egg Soup
It's quite literally what it sounds like. This is a breakfast dish, probably very common in the Earth Kingdom and/or Fire Nation. It's simple to make, but hearty and warm.
Shom-Dae - Rice Pudding
This is a rice pudding made with yogurt. It can be eaten with fruit as a filling breakfast, or sweetened to be made into a dessert. Yangchen doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, so she prefers this for her breakfast.
Snacks
Bhobi
This is basically a Tibetan burrito. A soft, thin flatbread wrapped around various fillings. Typically these can have anywhere from 3-5 different fillings, consisting of things such as stir-fried vegetables, noodles, eggs, you name it. Yangchen would absolutely be a fan of the versitility, and would likely make these to use up leftovers for a tasty snack.
Shogo Khatsa - Spicy Potatoes
As the name implies, this dish is made up of spicy potatoes. I think Yangchen would actually be a huge fan of spice, and as such would totally love these. She would probably also dip them in Sepen, which is a Tibetan tomato-based chili sauce.
Various Street Foods
Yangchen would love trying local street foods at all the places she visits, but she has a few favorites. Fried tofu, spring rolls, and spicy cucumbers. They're all very easy on the go snacks.
Onion Tingmo
This snack is definitely more of a comfort food. These are a type of steamed bun with green onions folded in, and I think these would be Yangchen’s guilty pleasure; the kind of food she could eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Meals
Tenchung - Lentil Soup
The Air Nomads would certainly be fans of lentils, considering their high protein and iron content. This is another very simple soup, but would be very comforting and nostalgic for Yangchen - as well as quite filling.
Mokthuk - Momo Soup
Momos are Tibetan dumplings, which Yangchen would enjoy eating on their own, but when added to a hearty soup the dish is called Mokthuk. As you're probably starting to figure out, I think Yangchen is a pretty big soup fan. Just like in the attached video, Yangchen would load her soup up with chili oil for added spice.
Pishi - Tibetan Dumpling Soup (also known as "Lemur-Face Soup")
This soup is extremely similar to Mokthuk, but the dumplings are made in a different way and more resemble wontons. This dish is often colloquially referred to as "Lemur-Face Soup" by Air Nomad children, as the folded dumplings resemble the faces of flying lemurs. Because the dumplings for this soup require a bit of extra effort, it would have been a rare treat growing up. Yangchen loves it both for the flavor and the fond memories it brings.
Desserts
Tenshi-Bhakthuk
This is a fried pastry covered in a sugar syrup that is typically served at New Year's celebrations. They are small, crunchy little snacks that Yangchen would love eating each year at the celebration.
Bulug
The best way I can describe this is that it's a Tibetan funnel cake. This is also served at New Year's celebrations. When Yangchen was younger, she and her sister Jetsun would always get one of these to split. It's a bittersweet memory now, but she still absolutely loves the food.
----
And there we have it! A whole selection of foods I think Yangchen would enjoy. Feel free to use this in fics, art, headcanons, whatever, and your own as you see fit!
Due to all this research I've done, I also have lots of ideas for foods that could be added to the Air Nomad cuisine as a whole - who knows, maybe that will become a separate post of its own!
Pretty much all recipes came from Palden's Kitchen ; would absolutely recommend checking his channel out! His videos are very high quality and his voice is incredibly soothing, honestly I want this man as my grandfather now.
Finally, I also need to give a shoutout to @atlaculture for providing inspiration and resources for my Tibetan food deep dive!

The Exception
<- previous • Chapter 2 • next part tbd ->
<-<- click here to read from the beginning
[PAIRING] Bucciarati x Reader (afab-she/her)
[SUMMARY] After standing you up, Bucciarati attempts to make it up to you. Read previous chapters if you haven’t :)
[WC] 4.1k
[!!!] language, concept is inspired by goodfellas, so a lot of dialogue and narration has been picked straight from that. not cannon accurate, google translated Italian, pulling things out of my ass in terms of locations and such, lmk if I missed anything,
[A/N] HEY it’s been a bit, school started back up for me and this semester is intense!!! That being said, this is the part of the story I’ve been most excited to write, as the goodfellas scene was the reason I thought of this fic concept in the first place. The second part of this fic is pretty much a 1:1 of the film, and I will be linking the scene at the end because it is a WONDERFUL tracking shot.
Bucciarati was annoyingly punctual, his car pulling to a halt outside your house at eight on the dot. For the past fifteen minutes you had been preparing for another let down, but low and behold there he was, closing the drivers side door of his car with an absurdly gentle force.
Pulling the curtains shut, you instinctively scrambled to ‘act natural.’ Fine, he probably couldn’t see through walls, but it was at least good preparation for when you had to speak to the man in a moment.
If you even decided to speak to him, that is.
Sure, you had given him one more opportunity, but that didn't mean you weren't upset; he had stood you up, no matter how you chose to look at the situation. On top of that, there was the intoxicating way he had looked at you as you confronted him that evening, as if he had finally been presented with a challenge worthy of his time... as if you weren't worthy of it to begin with.
Last Friday had probably been one of the most embarrassing nights of your life, sitting frustrated and rejected on full display, all because of him. He just had to go and make it a more difficult situation by, what? Looking at you the right way?
You had to hold yourself to a higher standard. You had to hold him to a higher standard.
Did you even want to go on this date, really?
Three heavy knocks reverberated through the room before you could answer your own question.
Taking a deep breath, you took your time walking to the door; you didn't need to jump eagerly to him, after all. That was reserved for boys who respected you. Bringing your gaze to the peephole, you opted to indulge in an additional moment to really look at the man standing outside. He had made you wait for nearly an hour, surely he could handle a few minutes without an answer.
Besides, you hadn’t exactly decided to go with him yet, and the man in front of you would have to be ‘divine being’ levels of beautiful if he thought just showing up would be enough. You’d only seen Bucciarati on two occasions: the awkward first date at the restaurant, and when you were screaming at him on the street. Suffice to say, his attractiveness wasn’t your sole focus at the time.
Well, he might not have been a god, but he sure as hell was a sight to take in. Even obscured by the dusty glass covering the lens, you could recognize this objective fact.
Bucciarati’s face was defined, yet still maintained a sense of softness, despite the sharp features you’d noticed. His clothing, however interesting it might be, left little to the imagination in terms of his build, the cutout showing off a toned chest underneath what appeared to be… lace?
Before you could come to any further conclusions, however, he looked directly at you—no, at the peephole—making you take a step back in shock. He couldn’t actually know you were staring, could he?
No, he couldn’t. He just inferred that you had to be there.
Before he had the opportunity to knock again, your hand found the metal doorknob, methodically turning it as you took a deep breath to swing the door open. You had already decided to let him make a fool of himself before saying a word, eager to hear how he planned on initiating this conversation.
One thing was certain: If he didn’t nail these next two minutes, you would be enjoying a nice bottle of wine and the company of your favorite film. He was more likely to mess up if you neglected to set a tone, you realized, and you weren't exactly opposed to setting him up for failure.
It felt like you had been trying to brainstorm the countless ways he could misspeak for days now, ready to scold him for the way he might ramble outside your door. While you knew you couldn’t predict exactly what he’d say, you had realized there were only a few ways this situation could go.
One: He says something along the lines of, ‘Are you ready to go?’ In which case, you remind him that he had to convince you first. And then you would close the door and drink your wine.
Two: He asks you to go to dinner, in which case you inform him that he hasn’t apologized… and then you would close the door and drink your wine.
Three: He apologizes profusely, asks you to go to dinner, and you give him a chance to talk you into it. If he says something wrong… well, you know.
Perhaps your curiosity had gotten the better of you, as you had been truly pondering which one he would choose. Maybe that's the reason you agreed to give him another chance in the first place: you were curious to see how he could possibly make it up to you; you wanted another chance to make him feel small for what he’d done.
As you opened the door, his deep blue eyes met yours, snapping you out of the thought. And then, after taking a moment to compose himself, he deviated from the script entirely. Choosing not to begin with any of the predetermined options, Bucciarati simply pulled what appeared to be two tickets out of his pocket.
“I was thinking we could do something more formal after dinner.” He said smoothly, handing them over to you.
Not what you had anticipated. Not what you had anticipated at all.
You felt your heart skip a beat as you realized what he had given you, eyes widening unintentionally as you read the intricate graphic on the heading. Whatever you had done to detach yourself prior to this moment, it was all worthless now. Additionally, your first instinct was to look down at your outfit as opposed to questioning him, your dark jeans and going-out top now feeling underwhelming for the proposition.
“I think I’d need to change into something nicer- how did you even get these?” You asked, realizing that you had inadvertently accepted the offer. After looking back up, you noticed a hint of smugness in his smile as he held his hand out, gesturing for the tickets back.
As you returned them, he replied nonchalantly, “You have time. And, I bought them.”
Note to self, Bruno Bucciarati had money. You’d only been to the San Carlo once for a tour, and even then, the cost wasn’t cheap. You didn't want to think about how much your date had spent on these, let alone what the upcharge would have been for a last minute purchase.
His attire was considerably proper, you realized after another glance, casual enough for dinner but still adequate for the evening to follow. After taking a brief moment to contemplate how unexpected this was, you simply scoffed and shook your head, opening the door to let him into the entryway.
“I'll be quick then, sit wherever you’d like,” you said, turning to go to your room. You halted soon after, though, remembering the venue you’d visited with Mista and Lucia. “Won’t I stick out at dinner in a dress?”
“Not where I’m taking you, you won't.” He started, the authority in his voice calming you as he took a seat on your couch. “And you don’t need to worry about bringing anything.”
After a quick nod, you turned on your heels and hurried to get changed. While searching idly through your closet, however, you found yourself questioning the implication of his words; where exactly was he planning on taking you?
You had initially assumed Bruno planned on making it up to you in the most literal sense, repaying the one date he owed you at Mistas location of choice. But now, as you searched for a specific dress, you were piecing together how inaccurate that judgement had been. Within minutes, he’d subverted your expectations. Twice.
He was unattended in your living room right now, for fucks sake.
Maybe Bucciarati just had a natural talent in skipping past the hard parts of life, it would explain his dismissal of you a week ago if that were the case. Perhaps he was just the kind of guy others felt naturally drawn to… instinctively ready to trust him at a moment's notice. You certainly had felt that way.
The fabric you’d chosen flattered your figure, despite being a last minute change of attire. On top of that, the simple—and more importantly, rapid—hairdo you’d managed to scrape together would suffice. Jewelry was simple, shoes were comfortable, shawl was… atrocious.
Yeah, you ditched the shawl, it had been itchy anyways.
Taking one final look in the mirror, you deemed the outfit appropriate as you twisted your torso to examine it at every angle. For any other dinner, you might not have gone to this extent. But, if Bucciarati was taking you to the theatre of all places afterward, you weren't willing to risk looking foolish.
As you opened your bedroom door, the man stood up to greet you. Though you couldn’t exactly put your finger on it, the entire situation felt a bit uncomfortable at first, as if you were on display once more.
His gaze certainly didn't help, even blindfolded you probably would have been able to feel its weight prickling upon you. Despite how… attentive he was, it didn't feel disrespectful. It didn't feel like he was staring.
You honestly didn’t know how to feel about the entire thing, but you weren't about to let him know that. Besides, tonight was about having fun. It was not about the man paying for said fun. That much was assumed and—you hoped—mutual.
Crossing the room to close the distance, you even gave him the beginnings of a smile.
“What do you think? Will they turn me away at the door in this?” You joked, patting the skirt as if wiping dust off your lap.
You managed to muster enough courage to make eye contact with him in the moment, a sliver of connection you still considered uncomfortable, only to be taken aback by the way his gaze contained something unfamiliar entirely… something you couldn’t quite name. His head was slightly cocked to one side as he let the silence sit in the air, examining you for what felt like hours too long.
Finally, he replied in a lighthearted tone, “Only if I told them to.”
You rolled your eyes at his answer, laughing him off as you started towards the door, “Are you ready to go then?”
He nodded, following you through the threshold while allowing his hand to return to the small of your back, wordlessly guiding you to the car.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The drive itself was surprisingly short, considering how far away the last two venues had been. In fact, you hadn’t fully comprehended that you’d reached the destination before Bruno was putting the car in park, having pulled up to the curb of a crowded street without announcing its significance. Before you knew it however, he was opening your door, hand extended to escort you from your seat. Naturally, you accepted.
A quick glance at your surroundings left you slightly confused, despite how beautiful the sight might have been. The restaurant entrance was just across the street, a line of people extending for what appeared to be miles, waiting to get in. Aside from his own, only a handful of other cars lined the curb, each likely there for a pick up or drop off.
It’s like he was trying to get robbed, you thought to yourself.
Turning around, you noticed that he wasn’t just on any curb. The well lit awning above you revealed that he'd parked in the valet spot of a bustling hotel, and strangely, he seemed to be shaking the bellhop's hand.
Without drawing much attention to it, your date handed over his keys as well, before turning to escort you across the street
“What are you doing, you’re leaving your car?” You asked politely, trying to make sense of the encounter you’d witnessed. Bruno was already leading you away from the vehicle, hand hovering above your waist once more.
“He watches it for me, it's easier than leaving it at a garage and waiting,” he responded casually, guiding you out of the way of a small pothole in the ground. “You know what I mean? A lot quicker that way.”
Sure, you supposed, but regular people tend to put up with such inconveniences. Regardless, there wasn’t much else you could say to that. To a certain degree, it seemed as if the exchange had been orchestrated ahead of time in an effort to impress you. Even if he did frequent this restaurant, surely he didn't do this every visit.
As if this obscurity wasn’t enough, you also realized that your date wasn’t turning to take you to the back of the line, but he also didn’t appear to be cutting to the front, either—which you now wouldn’t have put past him. Instead, he led you about a third of the way from the entrance where there appeared to be a small alcove tucked into the wall, hidden partially by the line of people.
He said nothing, nodding his head down in a respectful, silent ‘thank you,’ as the strangers standing in line parted instinctively to let the two of you through. They moved with purpose, you noticed, as if they knew who Bruno was and what he was doing there. Did he really exude that much confidence? Were these strangers really about to let him cut in line without so much as a comment?
But your date wasn’t aiming for a spot in the queue, you registered as he kept walking. No, Bruno continued forward, now guiding you down the alcove’s unassuming staircase—towards what you assumed to be a service entrance.
“I like going this way, it’s better than waiting in line.” He explained as if anyone could do this, never wavering from his gentle authoritative tone as he walked you down the stairs and towards the door. The second he reached for the handle, however, a man in hosting attire opened it from the inside, as if he had been waiting eagerly for Bruno's arrival.
“How are you doing?” The stranger greeted with familiarity while your date reached into his pocket, his momentum unwavering as he continued to move you into the hallway.
“Good, good,” He smiled, nudging you further before handing the doorman… something… under the guise of a friendly handshake. “Here you go.”
New theory: Bucciarati had taken you to the restaurant where he worked, explaining this ability to cut corners as a way to impress you. After one of his shifts, he likely asked a bellhop if he’d be able to watch his car on this night. You must have missed the money exchange, or perhaps he slipped it when handing over his keys. The man at the door had to be a coworker, someone he’d asked ahead of time to let you in through the back in return for a bit of cash as well.
It could almost come across as pathetic, someone trying to use this as a means to impress you. As you remembered how long the line had appeared on the street, though, you couldn’t exactly say that his efforts weren’t working.
That being said, your theory would still be discredited in no less than five minutes.
That's right. In the time it took Bucciarati to navigate from the kitchens to your dining table, it became abundantly clear that he was not just someone who worked here. No employee would be given this level of priority, no matter how essential they might be to company productivity. No employee would be this universally adored.
As he guided you through the long service hallway, another host appeared to be taking a break, a half eaten sandwich in his hand.
“How are you doing, Gino?” Bucciarati asked, causing the man to look up and extend his hand.
The tone of his voice hinted that he wasn’t just making small talk, however. There was a genuine sense of care behind the question he’d asked the stranger, marked by the fact he’d used the man’s name.
The employee greeted Bruno politely and happily without holding him back from his destination, allowing your date to keep moving forward as he simply replied, “I'm good, Bucciarati. I wish you a good evening, Signore!”
“How couldn’t I have one? I hear Romano’s on tonight.” Bruno shouted over his shoulder, each step leading you further from the man who had burst into laughter at the seemingly normal exchange.
Perhaps it was an inside joke between employees, but what kind of person refers to their coworker with such formality?
Change in the theory: Bucciarati was someone of significance at this restaurant, perhaps a manager or the son of it’s owner. All other variables unchanged. Still a tad bit pathetic.
He turned you around a corner, the deep red hall winding back and forth as you passed another handful of workers.
“Every time I come here,” Bruno quipped naturally, gesturing to the man and woman having what seemed to be an argument near the kitchen entrance, “every time, you two.”
The couple laughed him off as your date grabbed your hand, now dodging and weaving between kitchen staff in a new section of the building. You were beginning to feel a bit disoriented by the unfamiliar halls, but then he turned once more, revealing the hustle and bustle of the restaurant's heart.
A man crouched by the freezer, filling a bucket of ice. Another squeezed past you wordlessly, holding a baking sheet with parchment lining. You narrowly avoided a stack of milk crates piled to your right, having missed them entirely while trying to take in the rest of the busy scenery. Brunos hands were now on either side of your waist, politely maneuvering you through the tight spaces as you continued towards the stovetops, only taking them away on one occasion to pat a chef on the shoulders.
It seemed every other person in the room received some variation of, “Hey, how are you, we have to catch up, how are the kids—” And each returned the greeting with a sense of familiarity, referring to him by name as they responded with gratitude for his acknowledgment.
Throughout all of this, Bruno did not stop moving, as if he were parading you for all these people to see. Finally, after turning another set of confusing corners, you had reached the actual interior of the restaurant, the lighting now warm and comforting instead of sterile. He shook another man's hand as he led you to another section of the room.
“We weren’t expecting you tonight, Signore Bucciarati, glad to see you.” The stranger had said, throwing your hypothesis that this had been predetermined completely out the window in one breath.
At this point, you had no other choice but to roll with it. You clearly had no idea where or what was going on, but it was obvious Bruno knew what he was doing. You only got a brief glance at your surroundings—the gorgeous candle lit tablecloths contrasting the grand nature of the crowded establishment, every table filled to the brim—before a man in a blue suit snapped his head towards your date, completely disregarding the two men he seemed to have been conversing with.
He extended his arms forward, but not before gesturing to another employee beyond your line of sight.
“Signore Bucciarati,” He smiled with a handshake as the second worker moved into the space, signaling to another that it was time to start moving, “Nice to see you.”
The man shook your hand as well, though his attention was fixed on the two men scrambling to his right. “It’s lovely meeting you.”
He waved his hand, instantly a table was picked up and marched to the main floor of the restaurant, placed gently in front of the stage as the other man followed with two chairs and a candle.
The man in the blue suit escorted you to your seats, ensuring everything was up to your date's standards.
Bruno shook his hand again, “Thank you, Signore, I appreciate it.”
Your chair was pulled out for you, but Bucciarati turned to the surrounding tables before taking a seat himself. Another chorus of ‘it’s good to see you’ and other various greetings rang through the air as you awkwardly took your gloves off, but another aspect of these interactions caught your eye.
“You gave them a stack of lire each.” You mused, no longer explicitly attempting to question his actions as he returned to your side.
He shrugged, now settling into the seat next to you with confidence. “It’s alright.”
Had he been doing that with every handshake this evening? By now, you were certain he didn’t work here. No service worker would throw away their money for such a spectacle, regardless of how much they yearned to impress a date.
You also understood that this level of respect and attention was earned over years of collaboration, even with a week of preparation time, it couldn’t have been faked.
Before you could dwell on it further, the man in the blue suit was back, a bottle of alcohol in his hands.
“This is from Signore Tomei, over there.” He said, placing it on your table before gesturing to another section of the restaurant.
“Where?” Bruno asked, looking around.
The man repeated himself. “There.”
At the neighboring table of five, you watched as one of the men raised his hand politely while nodding.
Bucciarati nodded in return, “Thank you,” he said.
“No problem.” The stranger quipped casually, returning to his own beverages and conversation as if he hadn’t just given away the most expensive looking liquor you’d ever seen.
Bucciarati gently patted your hand, but your mind was racing with a million different questions about the entrance you’d been given. Who the hell was this friend of Mista’s, and how was he able to support this kind of spending? What kind of twenty year old had this level of connections? Was he some local heir? Did he come from a family of wealth?
Another realization dawned on you: he wouldn’t go to this extent if he didn’t want to make a show of it. Bucciarati wanted you to ask. If he didn’t, you would have been sitting in jeans in the same restaurant as last week… you wouldn’t have been offered opera tickets before even leaving your house… hell, you probably wouldn’t have been on this date to begin with!
“What do you do?” You asked him with a hint of bluntness, careful to take any sense of accusation out of your tone.
“What?” He asked, turning his attention back to you, leaning in to hear better.
“What do you do?” You repeated, furrowing your brow and glancing around as the band began to warm up.
He smiled, instantly giving an answer that felt too practiced. “I’m in construction.”
Skeptical, you grabbed the hand he’d left resting on the table. As the lights in the room began to dim, you let your fingers examine his palm, running over the place where callouses should have been. But Bucciaratis hands were soft, well taken care of, and smooth.
“They don’t feel like you’re in construction.” You commented, causing him to pull the hand back, smiling still.
“Well, I’m a union delegate.” He replied, looking around the room instead of at you.
Before you could dispute him further, the patter of a drumroll filled your ears, and a man on stage was announcing the evening's entertainment: the aforementioned Romano.
Tonight was about having fun, you reminded yourself, it was not about the man—or whatever occupation he was hiding—paying for said fun. After guiding you into this environment with careful diligence, Bruno Bucciarati had given you every assurance that the concept was, in fact, mutual. You could relax.
Well, you could if you had the ability to ignore your intuition practically screaming for you to investigate what he was hiding. For now it might have been set aside, but you had no intention of staying in the dark forever.
Knowing that no theory could scratch the surface, you left dinner instead with a goal: Learn something about Bruno Bucciarati before returning home.
You’d have to cross your fingers, hopefully the trip to the San Carlo was longer than the car ride to the restaurant; theatres weren’t typically known to be the best places to talk.

the people have spoken :) 7am ramble under cut tee hee
thoughts came to me while making this piece !! made coherent by a day of writing and rewriting my ideas
not entirely sure how to start this and i really hope it’s cohesive LMAO i’m really sorry if this is borderline unreadable i can’t tell
but anyway. i’ve been seeing a lot of art and thoughts about click clack and what he has under his literal and metaphorical mask and i want to throw my hat in the ring as well
firstly i think it’s a pretty clear take on masking who you are, right. as an editor you’re always cutting things out and making things better and more consumable for others to enjoy. but it makes me wonder where the story editing ends and where the self editing starts and continues ? in canon, he’s cutting out the romance from “oh partner mine!” because he can’t stand to face his own feelings for thespius, but that makes me question how much more “editing” he does on himself and his life ? even beyond his love life, his relationship with thespius ?
i think that he’s scared, obviously. along with being scared of love, i think there’s a real high possibility that he’s scared of the responsibility of being a god, even years after being one. see- he might think he has to be perfect for his followers and always have this perfect persona for them to follow, putting himself on a pedestal. being the best at what he does, making himself out to be something great- always talking about how amazing and handsome he is- but beneath that i think there’s a bunch of insecurity. it’s like.. man cmon there’s no way you’re actually like this..
i think he might choose to not deal with it- “i have issues but i also have people to watch over so idrgaf about that rn” style. even before the whole canon thing with the letters happened i think there was a high possibility that he still carried a lot of his insecurities and kept emotions from being mortal, not finding any time (or maybe any reason) to pick apart these things and grow from it.
he might think that he, as a god, cannot POSSIBLY be struggling with anything. gods aren’t supposed to feel things like that. gods don’t have to deal with things like identity issues and human emotions. something must me wrong with him and he can’t tell anyone or else they’ll think he’s unfit to be in his position. maybe thinking that if he shows even the slightest hint of not being what he pretends to be, he’ll be outed and shunned, or the . ggg equivalent of that. yknow.
but yknow going back to the original point- how much more can he do this, put on a front, repress everything that doesn’t fit this image of himself he’s created for others (that he’s now starting to believe he has to be), change who he is- how long can he continue on with this all before it gets to be too much to handle ? too much to keep track of ? what would his breaking point have been, if it weren’t for the canon events ?
who is he really, and does he even know himself ? sure, he can control what others see with both the literal and metaphorical mask, but what’s he like with all that taken away ? there’s of course a little bit of either in the other, but i feel like the lines blur so much that it’s hard for him to pick apart what is what.
i do think after the events in game, he would probably work through his. problems. with the help of thespius, the other gods etc etc. he was vulnerable enough to finally accept his feelings for thespius, so i think he might eventually get comfortable enough with it all to go through the more sinister things, especially after the whole “communication with loved ones is good and healthy actually” message of the game. recovery is sweeter with the company of those who care,,
another, less heavy idea i had about the mask was that maybe he wears it as a way to hide himself away from the spotlight partially. being an editor always meant being behind the scenes, right. so maybe he uses it as a way to have some familiarity, some anonymity. or perhaps- as a friend offered while reading this over- as a thing to hide behind looks wise. maybe be was just self conscious of his god form but then the mask is what made his brand or something and he just kept it on for those reasons.
however i had that thought a month ago and now have some other ideas. maybe that started OUT as his plan, just to use it as a way to keep his public and private life separate, or as a crutch for his self consciousness- but then he realized that with the mask he could be whatever he wanted to be, whenever he wanted. and then it went downhill from there, turning into a long and emotional wreck that would haunt him for years and years and years and years-
as a closing note !! i also think this could be taken as a transgender thing, as well as an autism thing, perhaps even both, and quite possibly all three. idk stay tuned if people like this insight i might work with it more.
but yeah anyways !! i had a lot of fun thinking about this and its has been sitting in my head for a week or so… i finally got around to making that art, which kickstarted people’s interest in this, which was nice. i’ll definitely be making more art for this all and PLEASE let me know your insight on this if you have any,,, im all ears
also obligatory “this is just what i think it’s most definitely not anywhere near canon pls be nice 💔” bc im an anxious man about to go to bed
#great god grove#click clack ggg#lee ggg posting#uhh… baby’s first character analysis ? hi guys.#i really want to drive the fact home that i do not know what im talking about most of the time so i really hope#this makes sense in SOME way. do feel free to ring my line for clarification on anything bc i am writing this at#7.30am before i finally sleep. god help me

Slut me out series finale ˚ · .˚ ༘🦋⋆。˚
Football! Fuckboy! Abby Anderson x female reader!
Cw: toxic relationships, language, college/ modern setting Abby!, no talks on body or race specifics! Player! Abby.
MDNI- Mlist for previous chapters
Final chapter: Touchdown
The past two months had been anything but pleasant.
Before the semester, all you cared about was school, your family, and trying to enjoy life while simultaneously jumping over any hurdles college threw your way. But lately, all of that had taken a backseat to a constant whirlwind of confusing emotions. all stemming from one woman.
One woman who you knew was a bad idea to get involved with but did anyway. And then you kept doing it—again and again and again—until you drove yourself up a wall. Her lack of transparency and flip-flopping emotions hadn’t made the ride any less bumpy, either.
This wasn’t what you needed—not now, not before winter break, and definitely not ever.
Flashback. November 16th
Abby held you against her, her arm wrapped around you and her chin hooked over your shoulder as you came down, her lips pressing kisses against your neck and jaw. She chuckled, her voice tired and somewhat strained.
“You look pretty like that,” she whispered, her words filled with praise.
She laughed softly, gently turning you around to face her, your body still pressed flush against hers. Her hands ran over your skin, tracing the sweat soaked flesh, the pads of her fingers gliding across your sides in a soothing, almost reverent, manner
A part of her loved seeing you this way, laid out and vulnerable and spent in her bed, the evidence of your time together obvious on both your skin and the sheets beneath.
As you pulled her towards She shifted, stretching her body out on top of yours, not quite laying her full weight on you, but enough to remind you of her presence
“Can’t get enough of me, huh?,” she continued with a grin. Laughing when you rolled your eyes at her
——
January, 23rd 1:55 pm
You shook your head of those thoughts. The final minutes of the lecture and your focus was on the clock above the whiteboard. 1:55 PM. Five minutes until class ended. Five minutes until you’d be walking out of the door and heading to meet Abby.
Knowing better, You still hadn’t told anyone. Not Layla, not Charity. Layla would have definitely given you an earful about why meeting up with Abby was a ‘terrible idea’, and, honestly, she’d probably be right. But you couldn’t face this conversation with anyone’s voice in your head other than your own. you needed to think.
So you’d lied.
As the class dismissed , and you packed up slowly, trying to gather your thoughts. Was this conversation gonna be pointless like the other ones? what was she even gonna say? What did she even wanna talk about? at this point so much has happened that you even know where to start.
On your way out, you passed Layla, who gave you a curious look.
“Hey, still on for later?”
“Actually, I’ve got something I need to do,” you said, trying to sound casual. “Rain check?”
Layla tilted her head. “Oh okay, sure…You good?”
“Yeah, totally. Just… school …stuff,” you lied. Cringing at your answer. She didn’t push further, but the guilt of somewhat deceiving her sat heavy as you made your way to the coffee shop where Abby asked to meet. Your mind was screaming at you to turn around. This was pointless.
It wasn’t like you didn’t want closure—you did. But you weren’t sure what Abby could say that would fix anything. You weren’t even sure why you agreed to meet. Maybe some part of you wanted to see if this was different. Or maybe you just needed confirmation that it wasn’t.
—-
Abby was already there, sitting at an outdoor table. She spotted you approaching and sat up straighter, fidgeting with the hem of her hoodie sleeve. Her usual confidence seemed almost gone, replaced with something hesitant. Unsure of herself.
“Hey,” she said as you sat down across from her.
“Hey,” you replied flatly, setting your bag down.
Yup, This was awkward. At this rate, she’s been between your legs more than you’ve had actual conversation so of course this was plainly..just awkward, but a needed conversation. This now, just depend on if Abby was gonna open up or you were walking out that door. A few more moments of silence past before one of you spoke up. 
“…Thanks for coming,” she started. Her voice was quieter than usual, missing the confidence you’d always associated with her.
“Mhm” you nodded, crossing your arms and letting her lead the conversation.
She exhaled, running a hand over her face. “I—” She stopped, her brows furrowing as she tried to find the words. “I know I’ve messed this up. I’m sorr—“
you interrupted, already feeling your frustration bubbling up. “Unt unt, see, If this is just going to be another half-assed apology so you can feel better, then I’m out”
Your words hung in the air for a beat too long for the growing irritation you had. Minutes passed and finally, You moved to grab your bag, ready to leave when Abby’s voice stopped you.
“You are leaving?— Wait!” she said, coming out almost desperate. You froze, looking at her, and for a moment, she just sat there… again. struggling to find the words. Then, like a dam breaking, it all came pouring out in a babble.
“This is so stupid—..but…i ..I was cheated on, okay?” she blurted, her voice cracking slightly. “Freshman year. I was with someone, thought it was serious, thought I could trust her, and then I found out she was hooking up with someone I thought was my friend.”
You blinked, caught off guard by the sudden vulnerability in her voice. Abby wasn’t looking at you anymore; her gaze was fixed on the table, her hands clenched tightly together.
“It wasn’t just the cheating,” she continued, her tone bitter. “It was how everyone knew but me... And after that shit i…It was easier to just… keep things casual. To not get, that close”
Her voice dropped, and she finally looked up at you. “But then you came along, and you… you made me care. And I didn’t know how to handle that.“
“You made me want more. And that scared the hell out of me.”
For a moment, the only sound between you was the chatter of other people in the coffee shop. You tried to process everything she’d just fired off. the mix of anger and hurt in her words, and the way her vulnerability clashed with everything else you’ve been shown thus far dealing with her .
“So you decided to treat me like everyone else,” you said, your voice harsher than you intended. “You ignored me, acted like I didn’t matter. And then when you finally apologized, it was just so you could feel better about yourself.”
Her admission hung in the air, and you felt a strange mix of sympathy and frustration. You wanted to believe her, but the hurt she’d caused still lingered
Abby winced, but she didn’t argue. “I know,” she said quietly. “And you’re right. I didn’t handle it the way I should have. I let my fear screw things up, and I hurt you in the process. I’m sorry for that—for all of it.”
You looked at her, searching for any sign that this was just another performance, another excuse. But all you saw was sincerity.
…And yet, you couldn’t ignore the hurt she’d caused, the way she’d made you question your worth.
“I don’t know if I can do this, Abby,” “I don’t know if I can trust you again…this..everything that happened? I just…need to think I guess. About all of it”
Abby nodded slowly, her shoulders slumping. “I get that…and ill…I’ll respect that.“
For a moment, neither of you spoke. The weight of everything unsaid hung between you, and you felt the ache of something that might have been.
There was a long pause, and you could feel your heart beating faster. Part of you wanted to tell her that it didn’t matter anymore. But another part—the part that had stayed up too many nights replaying every interaction, every hurtful moment of the past two months.
Jesus, Winter break couldn’t come any faster.
—-
Winter Break – March 18th
The winter months came and went in a blur of exams, holidays, and quiet reflection. You and Abby had mutually agreed to give each other space—no texts, no calls, and still no social media connection.
The distance was strange at first, but over time, it gave you clarity. You weren’t sure if things between you and Abby would ever go back to how they were, but you knew one thing: you weren’t the same person you’d been when this all started.
The photo from your date with Abby still sat on your corkboard, though you saw it more as an aesthetic decoration now rather than something to reminisce on. You didn’t even feel sad when you looked at it anymore.
It was the first day of spring when you found yourself at the ice cream shop where Abby had taken you on that cheesy, playful date months ago. You weren’t even sure why you’d gone, but as you stood in line, debating between flavors, a familiar voice pulled you from your thoughts.
“You’re still indecisive, huh?”
You turned, and there she was…Abby, standing a few feet behind you with that same goofy grin you remembered so well.
“And you’re still full of yourself, huh?”
Abby chuckled, stepping forward. “Maybe. But I’m working on it.”
The two of you stood there, the weight of the past few months hanging between you. But instead of feeling heavy, it felt… lighter. The double entendre of her words weren’t lost on you. She’s working on herself, hm.
“You still get the same flavor?” she asked, nodding toward the menu.
“Maybe,” you said with a small smile. “But I don’t know if I should share it with someone who eats like a five-year-old.” You teased
Abby laughed, shaking her head. “Fair enough.”
As you both ordered your ice cream and found separate tables, you couldn’t help but glance her way up from your phone occasionally, catching her looking back at you.
For the first time in months, you felt… okay. Not resolved, not perfect, but okay.
..Maybe you’d work things out someday. Maybe you’d just be two people with shared memories.
But for now, you were finally…finally, okay.
Bonus, Late Spring, Three Months Later
The air smelled like fresh blooms and soft rain as you sat on a park bench near campus, your favorite book in hand. The stress of winter and early spring had faded into something quieter, something manageable. Life was better now, simpler. No more girl drama. You’d spent the past few months focusing on yourself, on rebuilding your routine, regaining your lost peace.
The sound of laughter pulled your attention to the path ahead. A group of students walked by, one of them jogging backward to keep up with the conversation. They were carefree, loud, and unbothered, and for a moment, you envied that lightness.
“Long time, no see.”
The voice sent a jolt through you. Looking up, there she was. Abby.
Her hair was shorter now, the loose braid she’d often worn replaced with a simple ponytail. She looked the same, yet different, her posture more relaxed. Like herself.
“Hey,” you said, scanning over her new look.
“Didn’t expect to see you here,” she said, gesturing toward the park bench.
“Just needed some fresh air, i guess ” you replied casually, though your heart thudded in your chest.
She sat beside you, her knee almost brushing yours, and let out a breath. “I’m not going to lie, I thought about texting you. Like, a hundred times. But I figured you didn’t want to hear from me.”
You gave her a side glance, finding her admission, kind of funny.
Abby laughed softly, running a hand through her now much shorter hair
“Uh, ‘thanks’? For what?”
“For… I don’t know. For dealing with me, I guess. For being patient when I didn’t deserve it. For calling me out when I needed it. I’m… I’m still figuring my shit out, but I’m trying… but..so… I just wanted you to know that.”
the honesty in her voice catching you off guard. It wasn’t the Abby who’d always deflected or hid behind her player persona. This was the Abby who taken you on that day in November, who held your hand and laughed with you about nothing and everything.
“Thanks for saying that,” you said, a small smile tugging at your lips. The double entendre about her working on herself, not lost on you. 
She grinned back, leaning into the bench. “So… friends?”
You laughed, shaking your head. “Mmn, We’ll see.”
“Right, right. I won’t get ahead of myself” she said, a grin returning to her face. leaving a comfortable silence to fall over you both.
the future was unwritten, and for now? …
This was enough.
Small note: Hey guys, just wanted to say thank you for the support. This was just supposed to be a oneshot but uhh guess we turned into a 7 part mini series! I didn’t want to give it an unrealistic sunshine and rainbows ending. So, I felt like the reader choosing herself for the time being and leaving the door open for a more improved version of the relationship once the sand settled…was a good middle ground! I know this was a roller coaster 😭😭 I had sooo many ideas but thought this made the most sense! thanks for reading my shitty little series 😊 mwahhh

Titfest Anthology
Kim Mingyu, Song Mingi and Lee Jeno x Male Reader
—
he doesn’t even know how it started but he was enjoying it now, yn somehow managed to convince the three most popular guys to let him titfuck them. kim mingyu, a football player that always wears that tight uniform shirt that hugs his big chest and slutty waist so delightfully. song mingi the gym addicted guy always wearing those compression shirts. finally lee jeno, part of the swimming team and known playboy, his tits were always out but when he wears shirts, fuck, that sight alone drives yn crazy.
mingyu:
“i love man tits” yn murmures always when one of the three passes in front of him, “hey ynnie” migyu cutely greets, despite his big manly frame and somehow scary gaze he’s actually a loving and caring person like a ray of sunshine. “hey mingyu, what’s up?” yn greets him back, “nothing i’m just going to take a shower, you know, i hate being all sweaty and sticky”, yn sees this as an opportunity to shoot his shot, “i was just thinking the same you know, it’s been so hot today but i can’t enter the showers, it’s for athletes only haha”, yn looks down to the ground. “come with me then. i’m sure you can come in if they see you are coming with me” mingyu extended his arm towards yn, a somewhat scary grin creeping up on his face ‘fuck yeah’ he thinks, “okay mingyu you’re so nice, i feel like i have to pay you this favor back”. they walk towards the bathrooms, “there’s no need to that” a flustered mingyu says scratching the back of his neck, “no i insist”, millions of pervy thoughts and scenarios taking over his mind. suddenly in the middle of his shower, yn enters mingyu’s stall with puppy eyes he says “can you please help me scrub my lower back?” and mingyu as the sweetheart/ himbo he is, complied. “my turn now” yn says, his hands roaming around mingyu’s wide back. at first it was good for mingyu but then it turned into something more… erotic?, “y-yn what are you doing?” he asks when the other’s hands start to grope his wet soapy chest. yn’s hands went up and down, grabbing a handful of those muscle tits that bounce every time yn’s hands went up. his fingers massaged those pretty perky nipples “it’s like they were made for me to use, don’t you think?” yn whispers sexily to mingyu’s ears, “yn i- i don’t know but i want more.. hngh!”, “such a good boy you are gyu” yn licks a stripe on the back of his neck.
“fuck yes, keep it like that” yn growls in pleasure, he finally is fucking those magnificent tits he always dreamt of, “harder?” mingyu asks, “yes please” yn replies. mingyu squeezed his chest harder than before to create more friction for yn’s dick that was aching red, begging to release but thankfully mingyu’s tits and his pretty mouth sucking the tip of it helped to relieve it a bit. “fuck mingyu i’m so close”, yn’s sloppy titfuck ended with him releasing all his pent up cum in a bit spurt that painted mingyu’s face and chest in white, “fuck -ahhh-” yn pants, “you look godly like this” he praises mingyu after helping him stand up, “i hope i can see you like this more often”, “mhmm” migyu nods while cleaning himself, “good boy” and with a kiss they both sealed what it looks like a deal.
mingi:
“1 out of 3” yn blurted out while walking towards the gym in where mingi works out, let’s say yn didn’t know much about how those fancy gym devices work or in what posture he has to sit or stand so his back won’t get hurt in the process so naturally one of the veteran gym users came to help and luckily it was the song mingi “hey bro, are you new here?”, curiosity laced on his words, “ahh yeah bro hehe” yn pretends to be flustered, “you need help?” mingi offers his help and without thinking about it yn accepts quickly. days passed and a friendship blossomed between them, and that’s when the ‘bro jokes’ started with mingi sometimes pinching yn’s nipples through the shirt’s fabric but yn didn’t stayed behind and did the same to mingi, his hard nipples peeking through the tight compression shirt made them easy to spot and pinch but these type of jokes just escalated quickly into more pervy things, whenever mingi sees yn he slaps his butt or straight up grabs his bulge so it was natural that he wanted to get his payback. once again in a shower setting, this time in the gym, but they were so used to treat each other like that, that there’s no surprise they showered together, a certain homoerotic atmosphere always forming around them when they are together, the tension grew uncontrollably until yn decided to break it the best way he could think.
immediately afterwards he just kissed mingi and played with his nipples, after minutes of making out yn went down leaving a trail of kisses until he finally reached the other’s chest, carefully he bit the hard nipple while still playing with the other. his tongue swirled on the bud leaving it all slobbery, “fuck yn you know how to work with that tongue” mingi moaned, one of his hands going down to stroke his throbbing shaft. they kept going, giving into his carnal desires not caring that they’re in a public space and that someone could catch them.
the water going down their bodies wasn’t enough to calm the heat they were feeling, mingi with no warming pushed yn’s face in between his chest wanting to feel more of that tongue, “you better leave them nice and puffy or else i would revoke your walking privileges” this threat instead of making him afraid just made his hole pulsate in joy but that’s not what he wants today, “i have a better idea” yn pushes mingi to his kness and position his dick in between them, “be a good bitch and squeeze them for me” yn demanded and made mingi smile, “as you wish sir”. the titfucking session continued until they both came, their sticky juices covering the floor and mingi’s face, “come clean it hoe” mingi grabbed yn by the back of his neck and forced him to lick his face clean of cum, “next time the fucking won’t be on my chest but your ass so you better prepare it” with a last spank he lefts the shower withan exciting yn sighing cheerfully “2 out of 3”.
jeno:
it wasn’t hard for yn to flirt with jeno, after all he’s known as the campus playboy who flirt with whoever he wanted butin one of those flirts yn, as the big chest obsessed he is, flicked his finger on one of jeno’s nipples. yn laughed but jeno didn’t, thinking he fucked hiss opportunity up he turned his head to where jeno was sitting just to see his face flushed and his eyes teary, “what-” he asked to himself then something clicked. “your nipples are sensitive?” he asked and jeno nodded holding back a whimper, “i put tape on them but it seems it don’t work” he explains, “let’s go” a flushed yn grabbed his hand and guided him towards his room, ‘fuck! fuck! fuck! fuck! sensitive nipples holy fuckkk!!!’ his mind went wild, this time he didn’t try to persuade him like the other he just went straight to business. when he closed the door, yn pushed jeno against it and kissed him, a surprised grimace appear on jeno’s face, what was happening now and why is he giving in?, the answer was easy, yn was toying with his nipples so the overstimulation hit him way faster than it should, his brain turning into a pulp of lust. “you’re so fucking hot lee jeno” yn slapped his hard cock on his chest and brushed the swollen nipples with his precum covered tip, “i wonder how would you looked covered in my spooge”, he continued to drag his cock across the chest, “what do you think hmm?” jeno who was already jerking off agreed, “but only if i get to do the same with you” and yn nodded.
he poured some lube stored in one of yn’s drawers, leaving his cock and jeno’s toned body glistening and sloppy, “perfect” he starts to thrust but this time jeno used one of his hands to press his chest together and put the other hand on top of yn’s dick so in that way he can get a more pleasurable friction and therefore cumming faster than he should, yn played dirty with jeno, brushing his nipples from time to time to make him moan and cum fast too but jeno didn’t stayed behind, he took advantage of the thrustings to spit on it, “you bitch, you’re making it more slippery on purpose” yn complains,”and you’re trying to make me more needy by touching my fucking nipples”. “smart boy” yn mocks just to proceed and pinch the other’s buds and pull them as hard as he could. jeno emitted a guttural moan, cumming instantly, soaking his underwear that was rolled down his shaft, just covering his balls.
he leaned against the door, feeling defeated but horny, the immense pleasure leaving him dumb at this point, “be a nice pair of tits now and let me cum, yeah?” yn mocked and resumed the titfucking. when he was about to cum he lined his cock right above jeno’s face, threads of gooey spooge falling on the other’s face, rolling down to his chest and landing on his chest. “nicee” he sighed, trying to catch his breath but when he turns around he fell to the floor, jeno had pushed him and then sat on his chest, “you agreed i get to do the same to you, but i change my mind”, “whahh-” yn didn’t get to finish his question when jeno’s dick entered his mouth and as if his mouth was a fleshlight jeno fucked it until he got his throat flooded in cum, “swallow it all or i won’t pull out” tears pooling on yn’s eyes who was starting to cough some droplets of it, he swallowed the load little by little until his throat was completely unclogged of cum, “good boy” jeno smirked and slapped yn’s cheek who sits up quickly to cough, “don’t break your deals next time or it will be worse” jeno then leaves, leaving a bewildered yn by how he turned from a needy tit sensitive fucker to a dom one so quickly.
after all those three encounters yn now has a titfucking schedule, assigning days to each one of them to go and fuck their chests but it didn’t stopped there, now some fucking were added to the mix, yn gets to fuck them or they fucked him but anything just to touch those glorious manboobs each one of them has, “this is a fucking paradise” yn exclaims while being surrounded by three pairs of big bouncy tits.

Friendly Set-Up – Glen Powell
"Plleeeeeaaaassseeee?"
"Pass."
"Pretty please?"
"Nope."
"He's a great kisser!"
"How would you know?"
I smirked as Sarah's mouth opened and closed. "I've. . . heard from his. . . costars."
"All the more reason not to go out with him," I chuckled as I walked past her and into the kitchen.
"But Y/N," she whined as she followed me. "Just a coffee date. That's all I'm asking for. He was talking to me and the other girls about needing a woman in his life."
"Why would he. . . Actually, I don't care." I shook my head as I started making dinner.
"He told us that he missed taking care of a girl," she continued anyway. "He misses spoiling a girl, calling a girl during his lunch break, and picking up dinner on his way home to her."
"That's very sweet," I sighed, "but I'm not ready for another relationship."
"I know that Jason broke your heart," she said, running over to me. "But Glen is the exact opposite of him. He's just what you need! A pallet cleanser!"
"Sarah, stop!" I snapped a little too harshly at her. "I don't want to go on a date with the actor you put makeup on every morning, okay? I just want to be left alone so I can forget about Jason."
I didn't care that the ingredients were all over the counter. I turned and walked away, grabbed my keys, and got in my car. I didn't have to think about where I wanted to go.
I walked into the bar, sat down at my usual spot, and ordered my usual drink. I ran my fingers through my hair and cursed the tears that begged to fall.
Jason and I dated for almost two years. Over the years, he's gotten a lot less romantic. Finally, I made the mistake of making a small comment about marriage and he freaked out. He left and I got a text the next day saying that we should take a break.
As that bartender put my drink in front of me, I thought about how Sarah described Glen. He wanted a girl in his life. He wanted someone he could spoil. I smiled sadly when I realized it had been a long time since I felt like I was being spoiled by someone.
I shook my head, forcing myself to stop thinking about "what if". Jason broke up with me a week and a half ago. I needed more time to get over it.
"Son of a. . ." I grumbled when I saw my friends running into the bar. "Hi, girls."
"Hi, Y/N," Angela said a little too sweetly.
"I don't want to. . ."
"Would you please go out with him?" Sarah cut me off.
"Girls," I sighed.
"Come on, Y/N," she whined. "He's funny. He's attractive. He's successful. He's the total package."
"If he's the total package, why is he still single?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
"He's an actor," Angela shrugged.
"And he can get any girl he wants," I sighed, "so why would he want to go out with me?"
"Oh sweetie," Kelly sighed. "You're amazing. We all instantly thought of you when Glen told us about how he wanted a new girl in his life."
"Why wouldn't he like you?" Sarah asked.
"He'd be lucky to have you," Angela added.
"You're too good for him," Maggie chuckled.
"Look," I cut the girls off, "I just broke up with Jason. I need some time before jumping into a new relationship. Thank you for thinking I'm good enough for a famous actor, but I'm gonna pass."
* * * * *
After A LOT of badgering from the girls, I finally agreed to meet Glen. I told them not to get their hopes up. I was only going and having coffee with the guy to get them to stop begging me. After trying not to overthink my sundress, I headed to the coffee shop that was close to my work and the office building where his current movie was filming.
I gave myself a slight pep talk before getting out of my car. I walked into the coffee shop, my nerves jumping all over. As I looked around the shop, I kept wondering why I agreed to meet a complete stranger. Suddenly, my eyes landed on a guy who looked exactly like my friends described. He noticed me and sent me a shy smile. I took a shaky breath before walking over to him.
"Are you Glen?" I asked.
"Yeah," he smiled. "Yeah, I am."
"I'm Y/N, Sarah, Maggie, Angela, and Kelly's friend," I introduced myself. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him relax. "You don't have to look so relieved."
"Sorry," he chuckled. "Our friends talked you up so much that I wasn't sure if you were real."
"I'm very real," I shrugged with a small giggle. "They probably lied about me though."
"I doubt that," he said, slightly looking me up and down. He looked back up at me and smiled. "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
"I'd like that," I smiled.
He turned and gestured toward the counter. When I walked by him, he gently put his hand on my lower back. I tried to force the butterflies in my stomach to go away as we went and ordered our coffee.
"Oh my gosh," the seventeen-year-old barista giggled. "You're. . . You're Glen Powell!"
Glen looked at me with a blush on his face and cleared his throat. The girl continued to fangirl, "I am such a huge fan. I love you."
"Thank you," he said politely. "That's very sweet of you."
An older man behind the counter cleared his throat, sending his employee a "manager glare".
"Sorry," she cleared her throat. "What can I get you?"
Glen looked at me and gestured for me to order first. I smiled before turning toward the still-excited teenager. "Can I get a caramel latte?"
"Of course," she smiled. Her face turned pink as she turned toward Glen. "And you?"
"Just an iced coffee for me," he nodded. I started to pull out my wallet but he quickly grabbed his wallet and handed his card to the barista. She giggled as she took his card.
She rang us up and handed Glen his card back. "We'll call your name when they're ready," she giggled. I saw the look on his face slightly shift as he looked around the coffee shop.
"Actually," I jumped in, "can you call my name? We're on a first date and don't want to draw too much attention."
"Of course," the girl said, putting her hand to her hard. "That's so sweet. What's your name?"
"Y/N."
"Great. They'll be right out."
I followed Glen to the corner table, out of sight of the windows and front counter. We sat down and there was an instant awkward tension between us.
"This is. . ." He said slowly.
"Awkward," I finished for him.
"Exactly," he chuckled. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be," I waved off. "Going on a date that your friends bugged you until you said yes to go on is awkward."
"They bugged you?" He asked, his eyes slightly sinking.
"It's nothing against you," I said quickly. "I just. . . I wasn't sure I wanted to get back into dating."
"Back?" Glen asked.
"Coffees for Y/N?" The barista called. Glen looked at me and hesitated before getting up and getting our coffees. I pulled my hands into my lap and nervously played with my fingers.
"Here you go."
"Thank you," I said, my voice soft.
"Y/N," Glen said after a short beat of silence, "what did you mean earlier when you said you weren't sure if you wanted to get back into dating?"
"It's. . . not something I should bring up on our first date," I said.
"If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine."
I looked up to see Glen smiling gently at me. "I just broke up with my boyfriend," I admitted.
"I'm sorry," he said, looking at me sadly.
"Well, technically," I cleared my throat, "he broke up with me. After two years. All because I made a small hypothetical about marriage."
"He what?" Glen asked, slightly surprised. "What an idiot. For what it's worth, you dodged a bullet. He's missing out on an amazing girl."
I smiled weakly at his comment. "You met me like five minutes ago," I chuckled.
"Doesn't matter," he shrugged. "I still think you're amazing."
I looked down at my hands wrapped around my coffee mainly to hide my blush.
"You told me yours," Glen said, making me look up at him. "It's only fair that I tell you my breakup story."
"You don't have to," I stuttered.
"It's only fair," he said with a small smirk. "I was dating an old costar. It got to the point where I was putting in more effort than her. We spent the entire last two months apart. Whenever I called, she didn't answer. And she never called."
"Did you break up with her?" I asked before I could think about it.
"I did," he nodded. He added, "After pictures from her movie leaked of her making out with her costar on the beach."
"I'm sorry," I said. "That's terrible. You didn't deserve her."
"You met me like five minutes ago," he said, instantly going back to his earlier self.
"Doesn't matter," I shrugged with a smile on my face.
For the next two hours, Glen and I sat and talked. We talked about our jobs, our family, our crazy friends. The more we talked, the more I started to fall for this guy. Sarah was right. He was extremely sweet. He maintained eye contact the entire conversation and seemed like he was hanging on my every word.
I was explaining my latest project at work when his phone started ringing. By the sigh that left his lips, I could tell that he had a theory for who was calling him and interrupting our date.
"I'm sorry," Glenn said, his smile sinking when he looked up from his phone. "It's my manager."
"Take it," I said. "I don't mind."
"But Y/N," he stuttered.
"It's okay," I said with a small laugh. "Answer your phone, Glen."
"I'm sorry," he whispered before answering his phone. "Hey, Mike."
I busied myself as he listened to his manager.
"What?" He asked, slightly turning away from me. I looked at my hands wrapped around my coffee. "Wait, right now? Mike, I'm kind of. . . I know that but. . . Fine. I'm on my way."
"You have to go?" I asked, unable to stop my voice from dropping.
"I'm really sorry, Y/N," he said, instantly turning back to me. "I completely forgot I have an interview in two hours."
"I'm going to have to get used to sharing you with the rest of the world, aren't I?" I fake pouted, making him laugh.
"Oh, please," he smirked. "My girl never has to share me."
As we stood up, Glen grabbed my hand and pulled me into his chest. "I really enjoyed getting to know you, Y/N."
"I really enjoyed getting to know you, Glen," I smiled. My breath got caught in my throat when Glen's eyes dropped to my lips. Before I could wonder whether or not he was going to go for it, he went for it.
Glen leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. I gently grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer. When we broke the kiss, we both had matching smiles.
"Does this mean you'd accept the offer to a second date if I asked?" His voice soft.
"If you asked."
* * * * *
After our date, each of the girls called and begged me to go to brunch so I could tell them all about it. I fixed my dress as I got out of my car and headed into the restaurant. The second I walked to our table, my friends all jumped up and started bombarding me with questions.
"How was it?"
"Did he buy your coffee?"
"Did he pull out your chair?"
"Did he hold your hand?"
"Did you guys talk for hours?"
"Did he ask you out again?"
"Did he kiss you?"
"Why aren't you answering our questions?"
"Because neither one of you has stopped to breathe," I chuckled.
"Okay," Sarah said in her bossy tone. "Enough questions. Just tell us how it went."
"It was fine," I shrugged.
"Fine?!" They all screamed in sync.
"Just fine?"
"Come on."
"You gotta give us more than that."
"Sorry," I said, standing up, catching all of them off-guard.
"Where are you going?" Sarah pouted.
"Hey, gorgeous."
The girls gasped as Glen walked up, wrapped his arm around my waist, and kissed my cheek. "You ready for lunch?"
"Absolutely," I smiled at him. I looked back at my friends and saw all of them smiling like crazy people.
"You girls don't mind me stealing Y/N away from you, do you?" Glen asked the girls.
"Of course not!" Sarah said loudly. "Take her for the rest of the day."
"Subtle," I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. Glen just laughed as he led us out of the restaurant. When we got to his car, he stopped and pulled me into his chest.
"You know," he whispered, "when I first told the girls I wanted a new girl in my life, I never thought I'd actually meet a girl I could see spending the rest of my life with."
"The rest of your. . ."
"I know this is crazy fast," he said quickly, "especially since we've only been on one date. . ."
"We texted until like 2 am," I said quickly trying to reassure him.
"True," he smiled. "As I was saying, I really like you, Y/N. And I think that we have something here."
"I think so, too," I whispered. With a smile on his face, he leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as our lips moved in sync.
We didn't care that our friends were watching us from the restaurant window with proud smirks on their faces. Glen broke the kiss but didn't let me go.
"Y/N," he whispered. "I know you're still getting over Jason. But I'd like to help you with that."
"I don't want to use you."
"You wouldn't be using me," he said, shaking his head. "I'd just be helping you through the breakup."
I bit my lip, debating if I really wanted to go for it. "Fine," I gave in. I quickly added, "But only if you allow me to help you through your breakup."
"It's a deal."

Anyways this thought came to my head now I'm obligated to share
This is an au where Selina Kyle and Bruce actually get married and are in the process of like sharing a life together
Anyways this is a thing I think would be funny if it happened
Bruce is just excited to tell his friend the good news but his friend isn't exactly thrilled it's 2 am and while Gotham never sleeps Harvey dent aka two face is fucking horrified by the. Text he just received from fucking Bruce Wayne, how he got his number he doesn't fucking know the text in question
JUST GOT MARRIED!!!! 🥳🍾🍻🎉 Also totally off topic but I did not sign a prenup btw any idea of what my shares are Selina is asked for some so I gave her some but I don't actually know what they are
Two face just immediately starts blowing up Bruce's phone trying to get that man to answer is a fucking nightmare especially whenever he gets a new partner to spend time with it's like he can't see behind the pretty girl in front of him, he may be the world's greatest detective but when it comes to romantic partners he's the world's biggest idiot especially when he's in love
Finally two face starts falling Bruce and when he finally does answer he's on speaker with Selina in the room
"Bruce for the love of God tell me you had her sign a goddamn prenup, did you even discuss custody arrangements, HOW AND WHY ARE YOU GIVING HER YOUR SHARES WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS THAT YOU HAVE TELL ME THAT THIS IS A JOKE".
Bruce: I think your jealous of what I have with Selina, I trust her completely there's no need for a prenup, as for the kids they won't be a problem, and that's precisely why I texted you afterall you were one of my closest advisors for years also I thought you'd be happy for me, ya know it's not my fault yo-"
Two face: BRUCE I AM NOT JEALOUS I AM CONCERNED SELINA IS INFAMOUS FOR BEING INTERESTED IN HER OWN POCKETS AND ANYTHING SHINY, AND NEED I REMIND YOU THAT WE AREN'T FRIENDS WE HAVENT BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS IDK IF YOUR DRUNK OR STUPID BUT KNOWING YOU ITS PROBABLY BOTH, YOU NEED TO SEND ME ALL THE PAPERWORK REGARDING YOUR NEW MARRIAGE IMMEDIATELY SO I CAN FIX THIS GODDAMN MESS CAUSE I WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU CRY AND WHINE WHEN THIS BLOWS UP IN YOUR STUPID ASS FACE DOES ALFRED EVEN ONOW OF YOUR STUPIDITY BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW KIND OF STUPID EVEN FOR YOU WORLDS GREATEST DETECTIVE MY ASS
Bruce merely smiles and says you wouldn't be nearly this worked up if you didn't care I knew you were still in there harv I just wanted the proof that my friend still exists I'd like for you to be my second best man at my wedding also you should come to dinner some time the kids they all miss you, and some of them have started to take an interest in the law you were at the top of your field maybe you could point them in the right direction, as for me and Selina while we did elope it has not get been made official so if you really want me to do all this paperwork you must come over for a family meal Bruce then promptly hangs up leaving Harvey absolutely flabbergasted because wtf just happened and how the fuck, wait did he just get fucking adopted by Bruce Wayne, he's a fucking supervillain and he got roped into attending a family dinner..
A moment later his phone dings and he opens it to see a big list of various foods drinks appetizers and deserts with a text at the bottom that says choose three of your favorites from each category and just dress casual or whatever's most comfortable to you it's only a small family dinner please email Alfred a list of any diet restrictions or food allergies you may have it'll be nice to have you over and don't worry Selina has agreed to play nice I know the two of you haven't always gotten along, his phone lights up again with a Gmail account to Alfred pennyworth two face can't argue so he just sighs exasperated and just RSVPs everything and goes in to see the gotham seamstress for something a bit more fancy for this get together and one extra nice suit for the wedding
