#I think everyone would answer this differently depending on their own taste but yea

[solariaswitch]

What kinda music taste do you think the Trix have?

Stormy: Stormy's such a metal girl. She'd go to rock concerts just to mosh. I imagine she'd listen to bands like iron maiden, in this moment, Judas Priest, some deftones. Besides that she'd love the more modern pop-metal/hyperpop, like jazmin bean, laura les, and siouxxie sixxsta. And I have this hc that she's really into music, like she never listens to an artist casually, she'll go all in, be able to recite every lyrics & the birthplace of their mother.

Icy: Icy's the trickiest to pinpoint. I could see her admire female pop artists who build an empire for themselves and crush the egos of insecure men (such as Taylor Swift!) but I think Icy's a snob about image and would unfortunately think Taylor's too soft and fairy-adjacent. So I think she'd listen mostly to female-fronted melodic rock like Nightwish, The Pretty Reckless, September Mourning, etc. I don't think music is a hugely important part of her life though.

Darcy: Darcy's dark and mysterious and slightly unsettling so I think she listens to music that's also dark and mysterious and unsettling. Building on this I think she'd love Ethel Cain, Crystal Castles, lots of witchhouse. But I also think she has another side where she listens to timeless hot girl music like Lana del Rey or the Nancy & Lee collaborations.

“Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to part two of catching up with ivy. So let's continue. We were talking about how you and yeonjun had met each other. Now let’s talk about your music. How does it feel, now that you are the producer, composer, lyricist and the mastermind behind all your songs? Does it feel different than before?” Eric turned to ivy as he asked her the question after the intro.

“Well for starters, it feels new. I’ve always had at least a person or two in my studio and they’d do the work and I'd just give suggestions but now I'm the one who’s completely responsible for what kind of music I put out. It's a bit burdensome. I won't lie but it gives me a lot of freedom.” she laughs before continuing. “I feel like I can play around with anything and everything until I find what I like before putting it out. And I have 3racha on the hotline so I can ask them any questions I have about producing. I remember I once called Han at like 3 am and he was like ‘what the hell do you want?’ I think he probably wanted to kill me." Eric joins in with his laughter before asking her, “it’s a relief that you have people you can reach out too then.” Ivy nodded, saying yes. Moving on from that, eric started, “we asked your fans, soleils, some questions for you to answer. Are you ready?” she nodded enthusiastically. “Okay, first question! ‘who is your fashion inspiration?’” eric asked her.

Ivy thought for a second before opening her mouth to answer, “honestly I draw inspiration from my everyday life. There isn’t anything particular that I can put a label on as my inspo. I sometimes look at yeonjun and get inspired, i listen to taylor swift and get an inspiration suddenly, i open pinterest and look at my board and randomly get up to choose an outfit for the day. So yeah it depends on many factors.” she concluded. Satisfied with her answer, eric nodded before looking at the iPad for the next question. “What is your favorite food ?” he asked her. “Hmm, to me, since i have very limited options as a vegetarian here but my all time favorite food has to be the tteokbokki that yeonjun’s mom makes. It tastes so good! Her food is my all time favorite after my moms of course. I think i visit her more than yeonjun sometimes haha” she laughs. “Oh yea! I wanted to ask you about that. How do you survive being a vegetarian here? It's really hard. I tried for some time and I went back to the states and I couldn't control it haha” Eric asks her and laughs. Chuckling, she started, “I was just brought up like that. I didn’t wake up one day and suddenly wanted to be a vegetarian. It's not that difficult for me in a sense that I don't find it difficult to not eat any meat but it’s pretty difficult to find vegetarian stuff here. There is not much vegetarian stuff available. And in that sense i'm really thankful to yeonjun’s mom because she tries a lot to make stuff vegetarian for me whenever i visit. It moves me to tears everytime. She’s always trying out new methods to make stuff edible for me and it really touches my heart.” she finishes.

Eric gave her a smile before reading the next question. “What is your description of the perfect date?” Eric asks, chuckling. “There is no such thing as a perfect date. You just have to make sure that the both of you don’t make each other uncomfortable if it’s the first one. But if it’s like a date with like your significant other, I would recommend that you do whatever that makes you both happy. A date should not be fun for only one person. Whatever you choose to do, make sure both of you have equal amounts of fun” she finished. Eric looked at her before asking her a question of his own. “Okay, this is my question. What is the best date that you have gone on?” she chuckled before answering him. “The first one that comes to mind is that one day when we both had the day off and we decided to not waste the day. We got up and we ate breakfast and just headed out. We went to art museums, we went cafe hopping, we had lunch and we walked out and about until sunset and we had a little picnic and we ended the night stargazing. It is the best date we’ve had. I won't lie haha” she laughed as Eric looked with adoration at her as she finished speaking. “That sounds like so much fun!! Okay now to the next question. What is your dream collab stage?” he asked her. She thought for a few seconds “i’d love to collab with Taylor swift. But we all know that’s not gonna happen haha. So realistically speaking, I'd love to have all my girl friends on an album or a song. Like I'm talking inka from stray kids, calista from enhypen, lua from ateez, and haewon from mask and many more people that if i start naming, i could go on forever haha.” she laughs as she finishes her sentence. Eric looks at her with an amused look and reads the next question. “What are your hobbies?” “hmm i’d say i love taking pictures that look really aesthetic. I have been using my old phone that I don't use anymore simply for taking pictures. And oh I love baking! If i’m not home, then i’m probably at the straykid’s dorm or the tubatu dorm baking with felix or soobin haha." She explains her hobbies and waits for Eric to ask her the next question. “What do you hate most in the world?” he asks her. “People not respecting boundaries. I really hate it when people cross boundaries they’re not supposed to cross. Like mainly in this industry where our privacy as idols are not respected. I know that as fans they want to know everything that happens in our life but people have to know where to stop. They have to understand that we can share only minute details of ourselves. They have to understand that it's the same feeling as someone randomly coming up to you in the streets and asking you to spill your deepest darkest secret.” she finished as Eric nodded, agreeing to her words. "Do you prefer cats or dogs?" He asks her the next question. Gasping, she places a hand dramatically on her chest. "You can't ask me to choose!! I know I have two dogs but I promised Inka that I will love cats the same as dogs!! I won't choose between my dogs and the words of other love of my life!!" Ivy says as Eric wheezes at her dramatic behavior next to her. She too chuckles when Eric tries to read the next question.

"What would you have done if you hadn't become an idol?" "That's a very interesting question. Hmm i haven't really given it much thought since from all i can remember from the age of 11 is that I've ever thought about is working hard to become an idol. But it really got to me when I was on break last time. I can't be doing this forever can i? I mean I'll continue being an idol as long as my body allows it and I have a passion for it. But I was thinking about what I will do next if I lose my passion for this. That's when I realized that I had to think of something else too. I think if i hadn't been an idol, I would've probably gone to college in the states and would've been working now. But I've always wanted to open a cafe so I would've probably done that. But I do plan on opening my own cafe one day though!! It's not just a dream of the past. It's a dream for the future too." Ivy finished as Eric looked at her like a proud father. "I really hope you achieve that dream of your jen!" He wished her as she thanked him silently before answering the next question.

"Who is the person you trust the most?" He asked her. Without any hesitation, she replied "mom, dad, my brother, my sister and yeonjun." Smiling at how quick she answered the question, Eric moved on to the next one. "Ooh this is a very interesting question. This fan asks 'since you debuted at such a young age, what were the pros and cons of it? How did you manage school?' " smiling at the question, "they always know what to ask haha." She laughed before answering it. "Of course the obvious pros that came out of it are getting a lot of fans that support me and love me for who i am. A lot of people come up to me saying that my music saved them or that they found me at their lowest and in one way or the other i helped them get out of it and these words really keep me up at night. Yes it was really hard debuting at that age but it's words like these that don't make me regret it. Although yes I do wish I could've debuted a bit later but i was desperate. I thought that if i didn't debut at that time then i couldn't debut at all. But all ended up being good. So I don't regret anything. And about how I managed school, it was tough. It really was haha I remember once when I was back from a music show at almost 2 am but I had a test the next morning so I stayed up preparing for it. I got a good result so it was all worth it but yeah managing school was tough. College was a lot easier though. I loved college." She finished. Eric looked at her with a look of sympathy as he read the next question. "If you had to pick a song to describe your life, what would it be?" "Hmm one song? It's hard choosing just one. Because I feel like there's a time in my life I could say "to my youth" fit the best and there's a time when I can say "blueming" fits perfectly. There was a time when- I can't say much about it but, a song in my upcoming album fit the best. So it's almost impossible to pinpoint one song. She replied. "Are you more of a sweet or savory eater?" Eric read the next question. "I am more of a sweet tooth. I love anything and everything sweet but I do crave savory quite a few times to balance it out. But the majority of the time, I'm a sweet tooth!" Ivy answered.

Suddenly Eric clapped his arms once startling the poor girl. Laughing at her, he says "it's the second to last question." Pouting, she whines at him about how she doesn't wanna go and wants to stay some more. Laughing at her antics, Eric reads out the question. "What's your dream destination?" "My dream destination is probably switzerland. I heard it's really beautiful and I've seen a few videos so I'd love to go there one day." Ivy smiled as she waited for the last question. Eric asked her, "which musical concept do you prefer and why? I feel like it's a good question to end" nodding, she replied. "Hmm I like a lot of concepts but I think I like fantasy and y2k concepts in kpop. But overall I love it when the music tells the artist's story. I love it." Sighing, Eric kept the iPad on the ground and sat up straight.

He could see ivy pouting and as he laughed at it, he said his closing ments and asked Ivy to say how she felt. "I felt so comfortable actually. It's so nice here, the ambiance is really good and you all are soo sweet!! I want to start a podcast here now! haha But anyways, I had such a great time. And it's been quite some time since I saw Eric oppa too so it felt really nice catching up and answering the questions! Thank you soo much for having me!! I'd love to be back one day!! Byeee" she said as the outro of the daebak show played.

[angstyaches]

This is trope anon from before :) It might be interesting to see Elliot put off feeling sick, because he is so caught up taking care of everyone else? He kind of strikes me as a worry about everyone else first kind of guy lol. Then absolutely regretting it later haha

If not Elliot, Ryan also kind of gives me similar vibes

CW: mention of disordered eating/malnourishment, trauma mention, overwork, nausea, emeto, dizziness, blood mention (he’s a vamp, so yeah), pining (for absent partner), platonic/brotherly caretaking

Author’s note: Elliott and Felix are going to be just FINE! They’re not even broken up; Felix is just a little AWOL after a fight they had. I just loooove me some angst.

Elliott’s vision went pitch black for a moment as he stood and waited for the kettle to finish boiling. His stomach lurched so harshly that he almost turned towards the sink, expecting the return of the blood he’d drank for breakfast. Instead, he swallowed, closed his eyes, and breathed in slowly through his nose. He was overexerted, probably. He’d been pushing himself during his and Shayne’s ritualistic “sparring” (or, as Shayne called it, “trying to kick the shit out of each other” or “therapy”) session. Elliott had hoped his supernatural abilities would have begun to manifest by now, seeing as his transition to full vampire was complete. But still, nothing yet. Maybe the stress of Felix being gone was stunting his development. Maybe the stress was adding to how bad he felt.

The kettle clicked, reminding him of why he was standing in the kitchen in the first place. Elliott’s heart sank as he recalled Shayne’s eyes rolling back in his head, his body almost hitting the ground before Elliott could catch him. Turned out the kid had been starving himself again. Elliott would have punched his lights out if they hadn’t already basically been out.

A minute later, Elliott picked up a hot mug and crossed the open-plan kitchen and living area to where he’d left Shayne on the white sofa. He was conscious now, at least, but his eyes were glazed and unfocused.

The mug contained hot, weak tea and a few spoons of the glucose solution Ryan had concocted for Felix’s blood-and-sugar lollipops. Back in the day, when Felix refused blood and couldn’t hold food down, Ryan had fed him the solution like this, and it had kept him from passing out. The smell was so strong that Elliott almost gagged, his body so delicate as to protest merely being in the presence of human sustenance.

Elliott tried to hand Shayne the mug, but his cousin’s hands were so shaky he almost dropped it immediately. Elliott took it back, trying to ignore the fact that his own hands weren’t exactly the steadiest. He brought the rim of the mug to Shayne’s lips.

Shayne made a face and pulled away as soon as he took the first sip. His hand went to his mouth, like he was considering spitting it back out.

“Swallow it.”

A shiver seemed to roll through Shayne’s body as he did. His eyes watered like he was about to cry. “That tastes like shit, El.”

“Yeah, well, that’s what you get for forgetting that you need to eat.”

“I didn’t forget I needed to…” Shayne mumbled. “I’m not stupid.”

“That’s extremely debatable. Drink.”

“I’m gonna be sick.”

“Drink,” Elliott said again, as calmly as he could, “or I’m going to get Ryan.”

The last of the fight went out of Shayne’s eyes. Elliott knew he didn’t want Ryan or Nancy to know things had gotten this bad again.

Victorious but not feeling it, Elliott brought the mug to Shayne’s lips again and again, letting him take small sips. At one point, he covered his mouth again, shoulders jerking forward as he gagged slightly. Elliott’s stomach flipped at the sound and he had to turn his face away until Shayne stopped. He didn’t usually puke from seeing somebody else do it, but he had a bad feeling that if Shayne threw up, he would lose it too.

Shayne shook his head when presented with the mug again. A tentative hand rested on his stomach. “I can’t, El. It’s so heavy.”

Part of Elliott didn’t want to yield so easily, wanted to make him finish the mug. He wondered what Felix would do, or how Charlie would have reacted to that pleading look. Elliott knew he wasn’t soft in the same way they were. He just hoped he wasn’t harsh.

He hoped he wasn’t frightening.

He swallowed against a swell of nausea in his belly. Whatever was gnawing at the pit of his stomach weakened his resolve.

“Okay,” he said, “lie down.”

Shayne gave a small sigh of relief.

Elliott took the mug back to the sink. White floor and wall tiles swayed all around him like he was inside the world’s most colourless kaleidoscope. He slowly breathed in through his nose, leaning on the edge of the countertop to try and introduce some form of balance to his body.

He’d extended the offer to Shayne, but honestly, lying down sounded like an absolute dream to Elliott, too. Maybe his body would stop freaking out if he got a little more rest. His sleeping pattern was completely thrown off, his mind raced in the middle of the night. Felix had star-fished across about forty different mattresses before choosing theirs, and while Elliott had acted like he didn’t care which one they bought, he had ended up agreeing that it was the best mattress he’d ever used. But sleeping there without Felix felt wrong, so his body had been rejecting it as much as physically possible.

Nowadays, he might as well have been sleeping in a wooden coffin like the stereotype dictated.

He turned around to check on Shayne, frowning when he saw that he was still sitting upright on the sofa.

“I thought you were going to try and sleep?”

“I can’t – I can’t,” Shayne whispered, lowering his head into his hands. “El, I – every time I try, I feel like she’s here. Breathing on the back of my neck…”

Guilt churned Elliott’s stomach this time. Elliott felt regrets like cobwebs sticking to his soul, and although he didn’t allow himself many, one of those cobwebs was the feeling that maybe he could have gotten Shayne out of Madelyn’s sooner.

“She’s not getting in here,” Elliott promised. “Ryan will have her head on a stick before letting that happen. Nancy will turn her blood into tar.”

“She doesn’t have to be here, El. She’s already here.” Shayne pressed a finger to either side of his head and squeezed his eyes shut.

“Jesus, I’m – I’m sorry, man.” Elliott laid a hand on his stomach, stifling a belch since he really didn’t need gas leaving his body to make this moment even more stressful. “What usually helps when this happens?”

As Elliot should have expected, Shayne gave a lifeless shrug. Alright, think, Elliott told himself, swallowing thickly. He’d never seen Shayne warm up to anyone until that day in the park when he’d been clinging to Charlie like his life depended on it. He liked to act tough (and who did he pick that up from, I wonder?), but really, Shayne just didn’t want to be alone.

He’d be lying if he said he couldn’t understand that feeling.

Elliott swallowed again, fighting the lump in his throat and the swirling in the pit of his stomach.

“Want me to sit with you?”

Shayne opened his eyes, looking genuinely surprised.

Elliott sank down on the sofa without waiting for a verbal answer. He hit the cushions a little too quickly for his stomach’s liking. It shifted noisily, semi-digested contents swimming around inside. “Now, if you think you can feel someone breathing on you, you can tell yourself it’s just me.”

“Ugh,” Shayne groaned, curling up on his side so that the top of his head was just next to – scarcely touching – Elliott’s thigh. “Do not breathe on me, man.”

Elliott smiled through his vaguely-concealed discomfort, glad that Shayne wasn’t facing him. “Afraid you’ll catch vampire cooties?”

Shayne didn’t respond beyond a soft groan that Elliott interpreted as “shut the fuck up, old man”. So even though he’d have loved to keep taunting his cousin and keep himself distracted, Elliott shut up, letting his neck rest against the back of the sofa and draping one arm up over his eyes. Lack of vision made the world feel a little less like the spinning drum of a washing machine. Elliott regretted dreaming up that metaphor, gritting his teeth as he realised his stomach felt like such a drum, too.

He was swallowing constantly, every few seconds now, chest tight with the effort of drawing slow, shallow breaths. It felt like the fibres holding his being together were frayed and left just shaky enough to throw everything off without causing him any actual, physical pain. Beneath it all was a tiny flame of anger; what the hell was the point in becoming a vampire if feeling unexplainably shitty at inconvenient intervals was still on the table?

An icy shiver ran down Elliott’s back, and he flinched where he sat. He slid his hand around the back of his neck and gulped another wave of saliva. Nothing was there, yet when he exhaled, he shuddered again. Shayne’s talk about Madelyn must have wormed its way into Elliott’s mind. Lord, he really was a mess.

He glanced down to make sure his sudden jump hadn’t disturbed Shayne. It was hard to tell if the boy was sleeping or just trying very hard to stay still. At least he didn’t seem to be panicked or shaking anymore. Elliott desperately wanted to stand up and walk around; moving and distracting himself would surely ease the building pain in his stomach, but he didn’t think he could get up without jostling Shayne.

Sucking in a breath and trying to brace his stomach for the move, Elliott shifted his weight on the sofa, cringing at how much the cushions flexed with him. He watched Shayne’s head, his breath still caught somewhere between his belly and his lungs. Another trickle of unpleasantly cool sweat ran down the back of his neck and his hands shook until he dropped the weight of his head into them. His elbows felt unbalanced on his knees. His stomach flipped, and he swallowed measuredly against its protests.

“El?”

“Yeah,” Elliott choked out, though he’d meant to give a friendly, open yeah? As in Felix’s chirpy Yeah, buddy? Are you okay? What can I do for you?

“Y’alright?” was all Shayne replied with.

“I’m good, yeah.” Upon tasting blood and bile, Elliott gulped again. “Just relax, okay? No one’s going to –”

Elliott jammed a fist against his lips in time to stifle a wet, shallow belch. The sound was so sudden and violent that his head shot forward, almost ducking between his own knees.

“Fuck,” Shayne gasped, scrambling upright despite the fact his eyes were barely open. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Elliott half-snapped, annoyance at himself manifesting as annoyance at Shayne. “I may have pushed myself a bit this morning, but I’m –”

He was once again cut off by a belch, this one rumbling up from much deeper inside him. His belly continued bubbling even after the air stopped being pushed up.

“El, I think you need to –”

“Don’t.” Elliott shook his head.

“Why did –” Shayne winced slightly and rubbed at his head. “Why didn’t you say you were feeling sick?”

“Because I was trying to look after you!” Elliott sighed into his hands. The tiny burst of frustration was dizzying on top of everything else. “Lord fucking knows you can’t take care of yourself.”

“Fuck you,” Shayne said back, though his voice was empty of any of its usual fight. “I’m – I’m trying, I’ve been trying… Elliott, just go to the sink!”

Elliott’s shoulders rolled as he covered his mouth with his palm, feeling a thick film grow over his tongue. He was tempted to swallow it down again but a cramp ripped through his gut, making all of his organs squeeze in defiance of him swallowing anything.

“Shit,” he somehow mumbled, sitting forward and pushing himself to his feet as Shayne pushed – weakly but with good intentions – at his back to help him up. Elliott sprinted across the kitchen tiles and flung himself at the sink, stars in his vision and blood in his mouth. He was unbearably dizzy as he heaved up what he’d drank that morning. At least it had been an animal-blood day, and he wasn’t watching mouthfuls of human blood pooling in the sink and trickling into the drain.

It was a waste, but it could have been worse. He choked on a sob, realising he’d never thought like this until Felix.

“Fuck,” Elliott gasped when something moved next to him. He hadn’t even noticed Shayne following him to the sink. “Christ. I feel awful… Why – why do I feel this bad?”

“You’re trying to force something you’re not capable of.” Shayne folded his arms and rested them on the countertop, eyes falling shut again.

Elliott spat bitterly towards the drain. “How the fuck do you figure that?”

“Because that’s my whole life summed up, El.”

Elliott gripped the neck of the tap and turned it on, directing the water around the sink to get rid of the mess he’d made. His head was spinning and his nerves still felt alive with electricity and just wrong in general, but his belly felt a lot better. He felt like he could breathe normally again.

“You okay?”

“I think so.” Elliott rinsed his mouth, running tap water into his palm and lifting it to his lips. It was cool, and soothing on his throat after the retching.

Shayne looked positively miserable as their eyes met. “What now?”

As he shut off the tap, Elliott brushed a wet hand across the back of his own neck, relishing the cold drip that started trailing down his back. He shut his eyes, feeling like he was ready to drift off to sleep on his feet, like a horse.

“Well,” he said, “how would you like to take a nap on a really nice mattress?”

Glaze of stars

Characters: Lee Sanghyuk I Dawon x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Words: 2156

Summary: Warmly, the trees and the animals blurred into the shadows of the forest, making way for you and Sanghyuk whose fingers gently grasped the softness of the night. 

A/N: Heyyy, How is everyone??? This was a really sweet request which I smiled all the way through while writing~~~ When describing the places, I deliberately made sure to not mention any specific names (of the place they went to) because I wanted you to be able to imagine a place by the descriptions (like a fantasy land or a far away place- it’s up to you!). I also left the description of the reader ambiguous as I do for all my fics as we are all different people so when you read it, you can imagine yourself with ease. I truly hope everyone loves this fic (also, should I make a second one?) 

Hand in hand, you stood on your private deck with Sanghyuk admiring the night sky. On the deck, the wooden lodges formed a barrier and at every lodge was a lit candle, hugging the holder. If it weren’t for the candles scattered across the deck, you would have been shrouded in incomplete but oncoming darkness. The sun was setting and pastel colours of fading pink and purple had managed to settle in the sky. Looking like a postcard, the clouds were scarcely littered across the sky and bathed in opulent tones of dark blue. The forest that laid miles beyond from where the two of you was not to be seen however, you could faintly trace the uninterrupted outline. Looking up, you could see that hints of the light blue morning still existed, yet to leave and make way for the night.

Rubbing his thumb in circular motions on your knuckles, Sanghyuk smiled at the nature that encompassed the two of you. To his side was the section of wood that branched to guide their line of vision to the site ahead of them. Although the stars hadn’t set, the two of you could still settle into the bath behind you. Ceramic and adorned with gushing foam, it stood in the near centre of the deck capturing your focus as you walked up the stairs. To its right, three bottles, each containing a different aroma were interlinked by a brown, polished medium. On the opposite side, two adorably- shaped wooden tables rested, one holding a bucket of champagne while the other held two glasses. 

Each carried a candle but the candles were so much more important than tourists thought. Without the presence of the bright, glaring light of the sun, the burning wick helped set a soft atmosphere where your worries disappeared from the moment you entered this place. Still holding your hand, Sanghyuk bought his hand over your head, pulling you into his chest wrapping you in his arms. Feeling the heat radiate from him, you nestled closer and turning to meet his eyes, he gently pressed a loving and light kiss to your lips. As you leant apart, he swooped a kiss to your forehead in one smooth motion whispering, ‘’Let’s go and take a dip’’ into your ear. Shivering from his close proximity, your arms found his waist as you cheekily whispered back, ‘’I think we’ll be staying for longer than a dip to be honest’’. 

He scrunched his nose at your mention, finding you intensely lovable. Replying with, ‘’I hope the water is warm’’, your arms left his sides as the two of you found your way to the back, shedding all your clothes. Returning to the bath, your hands found his as he hesitantly dipped a toe in the water, relaxing when he felt the warmness envelop his skin. ‘’It’s warm’’ he spoke with lightness in his tone and you laughed feeling excited at the prospect of admiring the night sky from a bath. Waiting until he climbed into the tub, you followed suit, nestling in between his legs and resting your back against his chest. Surrounded by foam, the two of you found the bubbles fascinating, smiling at the way they moved. His arms wrapped around your centre and you held his hands, leaning your head back on his shoulder. 

The wind was not at its high tonight and you were immensely thankful for this. Not only did your hands feel warm, but the water had remained the same hugging your bodies as you watched the stars. Sun down and stars up, the sky was completely covered in a pretty shade of dark blue and tiny dots adorned the expanse of the vast summer night sky. If there was anywhere the planets met, the blending of their colours pooled and the reflection formed the sky above you. Back home, if you ever looked to peak out of the window and admire the sky (which was rare), you wouldn’t find it so bright that it illuminated the nature below it. Lakes, trees and little rocks weren’t shadowed by the approaching darkness like they would usually be. 

Shifting your eyes onto Sanghyuk, a smile lit your face as you saw his focus fixated on the sky before him. Entranced, the beauty of the sky mirrored itself in the dark brown orbs of his eyes and you could see how graceful he looked. The night sky did nothing but add to his features from the arches to the curves. Gracefully etched, the elements of familiarity eased you and a deep sense of gratefulness blossomed from within you. In his arms, you felt relaxed knowing that you could spend an obscene amount of time in them and the only things that he would joke complain about would be the pain from remaining in a single position for so long. ‘’Seriously, this place is really pretty. At home, this would all be darkness and the stars would be a luxury...’’ he spoke gesturing to the sky above us. 

Laughing, you agreed saying, ‘’Literally, we never even look out of the window’’ and mirroring your laugh, he said, ‘’Yea, we were saving it for this day, but for real though, how is this place so beautiful?’’. Glancing into his eyes, you spoke, ‘’I don’t know but we could always ask’’ raising an eyebrow. You laughed as the most flat look ever crossed his face, unimpressed as you gave him the answer that you had on repeat since the day he’d met you. ‘’You know those things that couples have?’’ he asked, to which you nodded your head in agreement. ‘’See, this is our thing. When I make a statement and you say that. It’s like you have it out on repeat just to annoy me?’’ causing you to crack up the moment you heard his words. ‘’They are NEVER going to tell us’’ he said exasperated and if his earlier words made you laugh, these sent you flying. 

A relationship needed work and seeing you laugh was one of the most satisfying things but mainly because it made him crack up as well. The sweetness in your tone when you laughed magnified the love he felt when you responded to his quirks. You accepted all of him and he was glad for that. In the same way, this trip had been renowned for its marvellous and striking beauty and it had delivered. The distinguished environment made you ironically feel like passer-bys when you were in fact, right in the centre of it all. You had no idea how far it stretched but the two of you greatly relaxed knowing that you were left alone for the night. Taking your hands in his, he squeezed his arms around your waist and peppered a tender kiss to the side of your head. 

On the inside, you squirmed from the amount of love you were receiving. Given his form, you were always swooning but he just didn’t know it. Once or twice and it depended on his mood as well, but his teasing grew endless because he knew your agenda. Whenever appropriate, you would give him love just to watch his cheeks turn a little pink and seeing that meant that you had won. Pecking him on the cheek, you smiled at him saying, ‘‘You know we’ve forgotten about this right? If it wasn’t for me, I don’t think we were ever going to eat it’‘ motioning to the food. If it wasn’t the water, it was the thought of the food that had struck you cold. Covered with a container, the two of you froze with widened eyes. Cocking your eyebrows, you questioned, ‘‘I wonder if it’s warm because there is absolutely no way we can leave such precious food till morning. Can you see it crying because we abandoned it?’‘. ‘’I see your point’‘ he inquisitively replied, hands already reaching out to pluck the container from the plate. 

Setting it aside, the smell invaded your nose, going straight to your brain. ‘’Oh, that smells good’’ you said, genuinely feeling hungry. Agreeing, the hunger was looming in the air as your stomach lowly grumbled. Whatever it was, hunger was not the way to go and the two of you would only be grumpy and have the managers shaking their heads in disdain wondering where the food was. ‘’How are we going to do this- okay, you grab the plate while I pour the champagne’’ he stated. Reaching for the plate, you held it out of reach while he filled the glasses careful to not drop anything. Handing you a glass, you said, ‘’thank you’’ before you handed him to the plate. Risky business over, you settled into his chest once again as he fed you a bite of the snack. 

As you sank your teeth into the crispiness, you were instantly met by the soft and fluffy texture on the inside. Deep- fried, the irregularly-shaped snacks were spongy and filled with tiny pockets of air bubbles. They had been dipped into cinnamon powder, the flavour colouring the inside of your mouth as you turned towards Sanghyuk nodding. He had been watching your reaction and upon your confirmation, heartily dove into the snack, smiling brightly as his face lit up, he nodded absolutely loving the taste. Appreciating the snack, you moved over to the champagne, taking a sip. As you set the glass down, he glanced at you questioning the taste to which you replied, ‘’It’s sweet’’. Taking his own taste, his mouth savoured the velvety texture that coated his tongue. 

Bringing his knees up at your sides, you were now enclosed in heat as you held the glass to your chest. Steadily, the both of you watched as the sun set, finishing the champagne in your glass, bit by bit. You left his embrace as you sat up, sitting on your knees and turning to face him. Now out of the water, droplets of water beaded your skin, gently running down and joining the bath. Gripping the sides of the tub, you lifted yourself forward so that you were now right above him. Tilting his head to the side you pressed a slow and deliberately steady kiss to his lips, asking as you pulled away, ‘’Let’s go?’’. Whispering a ‘’yes’’, he observed as you got out of the bath, stretching your limbs. 

Clutching the sides, the muscles on his arm momentarily tightened as he swung a leg over the side. The water gently cascaded down his back, flowing towards the floor and beginning to pool at his feet. The moonlight illuminated your bodies, outlining your figure against the jagged wooden logs that protected your forms. Water trickled down seeping into the wooden floor as you clasped his hand in yours, making your way to the bathrobes; slipping them on, you looked up, catching his eye. He softly smiled when he met your eyes, hand grasping the back of your head and pulling you in for a hug. Surprised, any questions you had slipped away as you threw your arms around his waist, pulling him in closer. 

Breathing in, the smell of cinnamon lingered between the two of you. Trees, plants and even the water stood still while the birds flapped their wings but no calls were heard in the distance. There were no watches or the rustling of leaves to keep you cautious and on your toes. Peppering a kiss to his jaw, the corners of his eyes creased as a trio of butterflies made their way past the horizon. One could only see their shadows but their presence was known and enough for you to mirror his bright, white smile as his gums peeked through. Still smiling, you clasped his hand in yours and tugged him in the direction of the bed. Bouncing as you made your way there, the two of you plopped onto the bed, a gracious and tired sigh escaping your lips. Bathing in warm water had exuded the energy from your bodies as the night kept its perpetual hold on the sky.

Laying on the bed, you asked, ‘’Are we going to sleep in these robes? I’m pretty sure that we were meant to dry ourselves with them’’ eliciting a laugh from him. He extended his arm, allowing you to place your head over it, replying, ‘’Let’s lay here for a little while’’ while adorably scrunching his nose at the same time. ‘’You’re tired aren’t you?’’ you questioned, giggling at the cuteness etched all over his face. Turning his head so that he was now face to face with you, he murmured a ‘’yes’’ watching as you poked his side laughing. This was not before you also admitted yourself that you were tired as well, the ‘’same’’ making him question why exactly you were laughing. A pout on his face, the charming atmosphere continuing as you both gazed upon the stars in the fetching sky.

【FAQs of a Home cook】

I liked to cook since I was small, so I encountered a lot of questions asked by relatives, friends, and strangers. Sometimes I just get tired of answering the same question as I meet new people. Obviously, affection for cooking and food co-exist, it is merely interdependent and impossible for someone to like cooking but does not like food, only vice versa might not be true. Thus, as the receiving line, I get inquiries about everything, e.g. reason for the passion, recipes, restaurants of choice, terminology explanation etc. I actually don’t mind answering all the questions, it’s fun to share and might arouse the questioner’s interest. So, here it is:

 1.      Why do you like to cook? – Just like everyone with their hobby, it’s fun, challenging sometimes, enable me to gain confidence, end result is enjoyable, and it actually helps me destress.

2.      What is your signature dish? – This is actually a question I find annoying because I like to try different recipes, and seldomly repeats the same dish. Yea I’m weird like that. If I fail, of course I will try making it again until I succeed.

3.      When will you cook for me? –

4.      Which restaurants would you recommend? – For this, I actually answer it differently each time, depending on the person who’s asking. Clearly, the one who’s asking might have a preferred cuisine or dining under certain occasion, so I should reply differently based on their situation. However, that’s not what I meant. I actually answer it differently by how close I am with the person who’s asking, or how likely she/he is going to listen to my recommendation. Why would I go through all the research and think process for a person who I barely know or has absolutely no desire of accepting my suggestion? It’s just common sense.

5.      Can you teach me how to make *certain dish* ? – I love replying to this because I don’t have a lot of friends who’s interested in cooking, so to get people involved in cooking, I will always answer this question in detail and nicely (unlike the usual sassy and sometimes toxic me).

6.      Where do you buy *certain ingredient* ? – I’m a price sensitive person so I do a lot of comparing between supermarkets, wet markets, individually owned stores, and online stores. Not only do I normally know where to buy certain ingredients, I also know where to purchase at a lower price compare to overpriced chained supermarkets in some cases.

 So, to answer question 3, it’s not like I will not cook for the person who asked (provided that she/he is a friend), but the thing is, I’m more of a savoury home cook than a baker. It is hard to cook for the person who asked especially when I don’t feel like that person is close enough with me to get invited to my house (and my house cannot accommodate too many people). So, if I were to really let others to taste my food, I usually bake and bring it out to them rather then inviting them to my place.

ALL OF THEM. @mun meme ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@deceptivetreat || mun q&a                      

                            ━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

||you are. the bane. of my existence. 

☯ Is there a muse you’ve always wanted to play?

hmm ig i’ll go with canon for this one because i have many ocs, but uh i really wanna write for seto from fragile dreams. i used to have an ask blog for him back in the day but that died quickly seeing as how dead the fandom is so- but i do love him with all my heart and i would love to be able to someday write him or something

♣ Is there an author(s) that you look up to with your writing skills?

rick riordan, marissa meyer and michelle rowen. i’ve read their books throughout middle school and high school and i still find myself going back to reread their books because i just love how their words flow as well as how engaging their plots are. i honestly hope i can reach rick riordan levels of skill whenever i get around to finishing my own novel!

♧ Is there an RP partner(s) that you credit for becoming a better writer?

one would have to be an old rp friend that we sadly don’t talk to anymore since she was the first one i started writing with a lot more back in high school as well as the one who would give me advice on how to improve and just be patient with me when i go stuck with writing our threads and also mikey (@snw-cnvs) since he also supports me outside of rp’ing to get me to write actually fiction drabbles. i just wish i could finish them lmao

♥ What’s your favorite ship with your muse?

all of my ships with mikey no i’m joking lolol i really love my ship with haneul because i’ve had him for two years now and he’s grown a lot because of his ship. he’s someone whose never believed that love was real and sure their relationship is a little rocky, but they both don’t really have the proper understanding for love until waaaay later. i also really love how whenever he’s with obe, he’s able to pull out this different side of haneul, someone whose so overconfident and quick to words, becomes at a loss for words and questioning himself a lot. i just love them best otp 

♡ Would you ever write a poly ship?

sure, i’d be down for it as long as our muses have the right chemistry as well as if i know both muns pretty well and if they’re also comfortable with it.

♦ What’s an AU that you’ve always wanted?

answered

♢ What’s an AU that you think just won’t work with your muse?

any au that causes too much of a shift in my muses’ personality. i’m usually willing to try any au but if it becomes too much that my muse basically becomes a different person i don’t like it. 

♔ What’s your opinion on teacher/student verses? Do you have any of these as threads?

eeeeh i dont really care, but i work at a school so the thought makes me like uncomfy because i don’t wanna think about work lolol but its also like fiction and i’m able to tell the difference between fiction and reality so yea. also no i don’t have any threads like that

♕ Do you like magic!anons? Why or why not?

not really. it became too much of a thing to deal with back in the day. i just like the simple things

⚜ What is the best time to write for you? Why?

nighttime because i’m fuckin nocturnal even tho i have a day job rip my sleep schedule and ever growing eye bags

★ What type of historical AU would you like to do one day?

Victorian era, or the prohibition era don’t ask me why i like them i don’t even know myself i just know i wouldn’t mind

☆ What type of fantasy AU would you like to do one day?

all of them. i’m a huge slut for fantasy in general. its one of the best things i love the most. 

☄ Do you think your muse would have liked going to high school sports games? Do you or did you go to high school sports games?

haneul: no, he’s not into those things, but also he was home schooled until he went to college

eiji: he used to play soccer in high school so yea

reese: do magic tournaments count? cause if so then yes

sage: no, i was the loser who hung out at the library with friends to sit around and read books and manga 

☾ Do you like writing smut? Why or why not?

okay, if it wasn’t obvious i used to rp back in middle school through high school and on tumblr and i have done my fair share of the sin once i turned 18. nowadays i’m pretty much like eh, but ig i could try again if the need arises, but it also depends on my mood ig? i’d have to write it with someone i’m completely comfortable writing with but also even then it’s gotten to the point i’m more like ig we can just fade to black yea? 

tbh i feel i got all the urges to write sin outta me when i was on my old en blog lmao i had so many smut threads on there i’m ashamed 

☽ Do you like writing angst? Why or why not?

yes god i love being able to break my muses because it’s so fun. like yea it also hurts because that’s my kid i’m hurting but i’m okay with that. it’s just something that adds realness to them because the world sure as fuck ain’t rainbow and sunshine

☼ What’s an FC that you’re dying to use? Why?

i have these icons that i squirreled away for awhile now and i really wanna use them but my brain is too dead to figure out who he could work for. like he was my first thought for reese but he didn’t really give off the right reese vibes so maybe i’ll dig around my oc bin and see who looks the closest to him 

or i cave and just make a brand new oc for him

☀ What’s an FC that you desperately want to play with? Why?

i’m not really picky about what fc write with tbh 

☁ What’s an FC that you refuse to play with? Why?

not really refuse to play - more like i’m eh with. if only because en used to be my main chara for a long time like, i was so deep into the magical boy lore that a good chunk of my headcanons became canon. but also it just…leaves a bad taste in my mouth even more so since the drama that happened in that fandom left me filled with fear and hesitance to rp for a good chunk like before. it just brings back bad memories and i thought i was moving past it when i was thinking about using him for reese but alas. some memories don’t leave

maybe one day i’ll either get to write en again or i can use his face as fc but we’ll see

☂ How does your muse spend a rainy day? How do you spend a rainy day?

haneul: he loves the rain and he’ll spend it either under an umbrella or just sitting there in the rain just letting it wash away his thoughts and fears for a little bit 

eiji: he’d spend it indoors playing a video game or playing with seto

reese: he’d prob be dumb and splash in the puddles because he likes to enjoy the little things. other times he’ll just ignore it and stay indoors either hanging with friends or studying and practicing his magic for his school’s next tournament 

sage: i like to spend it just lookin out my window with my kitty on my chest. i love the sound of it against the sidewalk and streets. 

☃ If your muse was cartoonized, what would their FC be? Why?

uh idk how to answer this tbh 

☺ What’s a character that you desperately want your muse to play with? Why?

toshi @ haneul *stares at @snw-cnvs* and also reese @ momo *stares at @deceptivetreat* but also i just want everyone to bother my boys i love them so much. 

☹ What’s a character that you refuse to play with? Why?

idk i’m pretty open for any character

☢ Are there any ships that you would like to write for one day? Any that you wouldn’t?

uh dunno. i’m open for any ships that have the right chemistry tbh just not haneul since he’s already taken

☣ What’s one thing that will make you drop a thread?

useless drama and or if i can’t seem to figure out where the thread is going for our muses. like if they don’t clash well i don’t wanna give tryin to grasp at straws. but i’m always down to try again unless it ends up the same than welp

♨ What’s a muse that you wished had lasted, but didn’t?

aaaah my supernatural brothers!!! i love them so much but they didn’t last and i’m not sure if i’m goin to add them on here or leave them in the void. 

❀ Do you like reblog karma? Why or why not?

i’m gonna sound old but i don’t know what that is hold on. *googles* oh okay yea no. that seems like too much pressure to do and i have too much anxiety to do that i’m sorry. 

✿ Do you have a mun FC? If so why did you choose that as your FC, and if not who would you choose?

yes. because i have so many icons it’s not even funny, but also before i got my  hair cut she looked the most like me and also i thought it’d be fun to be able to tell the difference between me and my boys 

see, back in the day i was the loser who would make ooc posts that included my muses and it was easy to have mun fc so you could do that and it was a lot fun, but it’s somethin i won’t so nowadays.

♪♩♫ Does music inspire your muse? What’s one song on your playlist that reminds you of your muse?

haneul: mirror part II

any of weiss’ songs work for him tbvh

eiji: rpg

reese: havent found one that works for him yet, so come back later

✂ Do you like to format your posts? Why or why not?

yes it’s all for the aesthetic 

✆ Other than RPing, what’s a hobby of yours?

i love to write and draw. lmao sometimes i don’t write drafts so i can write more of my novel or little drabbles that’s for friends. 

✉ Do you RP on any other platforms?

nope

❤ Have you or are you currently in love?

answered

❥ Has something ever happened for you to hate a ship? Why?

uh nope can’t say there has been.

ツ Who has been your favorite muse to play so far? Why?

haneul, eiji, lifty and shifty, and en

han and eiji because they’re both my ocs and it’s so much fun to see them develop and grow their characters more. 

en because i was able to write a lot of different aus, headcanons, and just develop a canon character until he pretty much just became my own character

lifty and shifty were my roots. i started in the htf fandom and had so much fun writing those lil shits. it was just my go fuckin crazy shit. i still have their icons and their old blog is still up and i do kinda miss them some days.

回 Which muse was the worst to play? Why?

i used to have an oc named harley who was a living doll and i haha came to hate him because i made him around the same time i created haneul and i always loved haneul because i put a lot of effort into him and not much in harley and i got annoyed and jealous that back then everyone seemed to love harley more him. so i pretty much tossed him to the curve adfhsdkfjh

sorry harley but you were also hard to write because you were too sweet and cliche for me 

✘ People come in a group. If I were to look on your blog, who would I see you interacting with the most?

@snw-cnvs and @deceptivetreat

ღ Do you have a personal blog? Do you share it with your followers or do you keep it private?

nah i haven’t used tumblr in years until now. i do have one but i don’t use it so idc it’s called @shouyoutheworld but again i don’t use it it’s…v old

▼ Do you keep your character in character even if they are one of the worst people in the world?

yes. what’s the point of writing and creating said character if you’re gonna sugar coat them?

▽ Why did you create this muse?

haneul: i wanted an oc who was really jaded and brat. i wanted to see him grow into something more even if its difficult 

eiji: i pretty much wanted a muse that i could dump all my useless game infos on

reese: i wanted a witch oc who had a rival that they both hated their guts for and eventually fall in love I’M SO RR Y THAT’S REALLY WHY HE WAS MADE FORGIVE ME BUT NOW I DEVELOPED HIM A LOT MORE FOR RP’ING PURPOSES BUT Y’KN OW

Honest Q&A: Round 5! Table

Glad to see you all here. Let’s jump right in then. It’s been a while and our reader’s will surely be itching to learn more about Eorzea’s adventurous types.

If you were ruler of your own country what would be the first law you would introduce?

Lloire: “Tch. I would introduce a law that changed our system of government to one more akin to Ishgard’s House of Commons system so that whatever fools put me in charge stood a better chance.”

K’risa: “Um, doesn’t the fact that you wanna do that make you a good choice for a ruler? Anyways, I would introduce laws that were in place to severely punish anyone found tempered or assisting with tempering.”

Beta: “No, no, miss Mau. He’s right. A leader’s gotta be willing to be willing to NOT be sacrificial. The General has to know when –they- have to withdraw from the field, and Lloire just wouldn’t ever be able to do that. For me though, I’d put strict regulations on Magitek use to coincide with the increased production.”

Chadrick: “The feck? Tha three o’ ye can actually think o’ this shyte? Nay lads, Ah’m nay rulin’ anyone. Ah suppose me first an’ only law would be t’ abolish tha government so each man was free.”

Aasifa: “Aasifa is banning slaves or people who are being worked ;like slaves for little gil.”

Benedict: “I consider myself a man of the gods. It would be improper for me to rule over others. My beliefs would unfairly cloud my judgment.”

Chance: “A merc country? Heh, a king who fights his own battles. Would be a sight, yea?”

Felix: “Only fools rule. A ruler is always a puppet. A puppet to those with coin, to the popular opinion, to blackmail, or any number of other things. Why rule when you can manipulate from the shadows? I’d never get suckered into being any country’s ruler.”

 What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?

Lloire: “A week. …People I cared about were trapped within the void. I spent a week fighting to free them and only finally slept when Soren drugged me.”

K’risa: “A week? How are you not dead? No. I don’t wanna know. Longest I went was still less than a day. What? Girl needs her rest!”

Beta: “Um, well… crankshafts… I think it was three days? I was building something important.”

Chadrick: “T’was bout twenty-four ‘ours. Was travelin’ through some rough territory. Could nay afford t’ sleep, so, we pushed through.”

Aasifa: “Aasifa is sleeping every day. It is only way to stay strong, yes?”

Benedict: “I am in agreement with Master Taqalid. Proper rest is important for the body and mind.”

Chance: “Three days. Dravonians had us pinned down.”

Felix: “I didn’t count, but I recall it was several weeks. I had an experiment that required my undivided attention and well, with the right potions you can forgo sleep. Albeit at a slight degradation of your capacities.”

 Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?

Lloire: “A book to read.”

K’risa: “My blankets! What, it’s all your fault. Talking about not sleeping made me sleepy!”

Beta: “Coffee!”

Chadrick: “Seein’ a beautiful lass smile. Nary a soul should e’er do without.”

Aasifa: “Aasifa has been without, yes? So, there is nothing he is needing so much he cannot be without.”

Benedict: “Prayer. I only bring it up as a non-necessity because so many others live without it. I could not.”

Chance: “A knife. You should always have a knife.”

Felix: “I think I will agree with dark and broody over there. Constantly learn. You should read every day.”

 Which of the five senses would you say is your strongest?

Lloire: “Smell, strange as might seem. I guess I honed it over the years learning to cook. Taste is important and all, but you smell the food well before you ever taste it… and the smell lingers long after the food is gone.”

K’risa: “I unno, hearing I guess?”

Beta: “Sight for sure. Picking things apart and remembering exactly what I saw and where a screw or bolt was… Yea, definitely sight.”

Chadrick: “O’ now, this is an easy one. Touch. Easy. ‘ands down.”

Aasifa: “Friend Chadrick, Aasifa worries you are meaning hands down skirts with way you are saying this. For Aasifa, it is hearing like friend K’risa. He is training whole childhood to be hearing intruders.”

Benedict: “I would have to say taste. Mine is overly strong, so I prefer more ‘bland’ flavors.”

Chance: “Smell for me too. Different uses though.”

Felix: “My sixth. Next question.”

 Which of the five senses would you give up if you had to lose one?

Lloire: “Given previous… injuries, sight. I’ve already started training to be without it. I’d miss it for sure, but I would miss the others more.”

K’risa: “Really? You’d go blind before not being able to cook? You’re a strange one. For me, it’d be smell.”

Beta: “I’m kinda with miss K’risa Lloire. It’s crazy to go blind instead of not being able to smell. You’d get yourself ki--…. Oh… Nevermind, it all makes sense.”

Chadrick: “Well, Ah mean… Ah’d lose me sight before me sense o’ touch… but alas, Ah must agree with tha others… Smell can go first.”

Aasifa: “Hmm, Aasifa is thinking touch. If he is not feeling, there is no pain, he is greater fighter, yes?”

Benedict: “I’m not certain that would be wise Master Taqalid. Pain is a warning so we know how far to push ourselves. I am with the others. Perhaps a lost sense of smell might even out my sense of taste.”

Chance: “Sound I guess. Wouldn’t have to hear as much whining from people at least.”

Felix: “An interesting question… though I have to agree with the majority. Smell is the least useful sense in the lives we live.”

 How would your friends describe you?

Lloire: “Depends on the friend I imagine. Soren’d tell you I’m a stubborn ass who always thinks he’s right. Siben’d tell you I try to hard and am quick to temper. Most everyone would likely agree that I’m injury prone I suppose.”

K’risa: “Um, I guess they’d say I was a hard worker.”

Beta: “Injury prone? That’s how you describe it? It’s not like you slipped and fell on a knife yanno. Um, most’a my friends would probably say I’m a workaholic and I’m bad at multitasking and should eat more.”

Chadrick: “Well, shyte. Ah’m nay sure. A few’d probably say Ah was a cocky bloke.”

Aasifa: “Friends have said before, describing Aasifa is difficult thing. But most are saying he like like the wind.”

Benedict: “I would hope they’d describe me as warm and caring. Protective.”

Chance: “And big Benny. As for me, ain’t too many I call friend and fewer still I’d give a fuck what they said.”

Felix: “As the guy you call when shits gone to hell and you need a way out.”

 What did you want to be when you were small?

Lloire: “An archmage. Someone like Louisoix or Shatotto.”

K’risa: “I wanted what every girl in our tribe wanted. To be a huntress.”

Beta: “You just… I swear, you don’t own a mirror do you? Ugh. I wanted to be the world’s best engineer. Well, okay, want to be…”

Chadrick: “Ah was goin’ t’ say lad… ye are still a wee one. As fer me, Ah’ve always dreamed o’ bein’ a ‘ero. E’er since Ah too was a wee lad.”

Aasifa: “Free, yes?”

Benedict: “When I was young, I simply wished to please the family that took me in.”

Chance: “A merc. It was all I’d known.”

Felix: “Alchemy has been an interest of mine since I first heard of it.”

 What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?

Lloire: “Pretty sure I have to say ‘Stab myself in the chest’ or Beta will call me out on it.”

K’risa: “Yea, he will. How did you—I’d rather not know. I uh, left my tribe and everyone I knew.”

Beta: “Yea, next time you go falling for a girl, maybe just roses and chocolates, ‘kay? For me, it was raid a castrum and take over all their reapers.”

Chadrick: “Ah di’nay know tha’ Ah’d call it fer love… but tha craziest thing Ah did fer romance was date wha’ amounted t’ a princess. Di’nay hiss K’risa… she ne’er did a thing t’ ye.””

Aasifa: “Aasifa is not understanding question. Everything done for love is crazy, yes? Otherwise… is not love?”

Benedict: “I fear I am going to have to abstain from answering. I have not been in love and as such have not done anything foolish.”

Chance: “Tried to play at hero.”

Felix: “Hmm… pretty much everything I did from the age nineteen to twenty-three.”

 Do you collect anything? If so, what?

Lloire: “Books.”

K’risa: “I don’t think it counts that I collect fabrics, considering that’s my job.”

Beta: “Mostly Garlean scrap. Wha? It’s not ‘technically’ my job. Also, Lloire, I’m pretty sure you collect scars.”

Chadrick: “Ah’ve a giant collection o’ tha things Ah kept from each o’ me missions. Aislyn an’ Ah make it a point t’ keep one thing from each job.”

Aasifa: “Aasifa is not one for ‘things’, yes? You cannot take with you. No matter what some people might think.”

Benedict: “Yes, I have a collection of different totems, rosaries, wards, from various beliefs. I enjoy learning about other people’s beliefs.”

Chance: “…no. The fuck am I gonna do with all that extra weight?”

Felix: “Like Scars, I have a collection of tomes as well as a collection of rare metals and gems.”

 Who was your first crush?

Lloire: “A woman named Stanzie. ”

K’risa: “A pretty boy hero who doesn’t know how to sit still.”

Beta: “Um, I guess Ikara? I mean, I didn’t really get the whole dating thing before I met her.”

Chadrick: “There was this lass named Cathleen when Ah was growin’ up. Me da dealt with ‘ers kind o’ regularly. Otherwise, Ah’d ‘ave t’ say Sinomen.”

Aasifa: “Bliss. Let us speak on something new, yes?”

Benedict: “Again, I will need to bow… what is that mister Tamisier? Oh, well.. I suppose… very well. There was a young Elezen girl when I was much much younger… but that was highly inappropriate. Her name? Oh… It’s been so many years. Killie… Kyliean… I fear I do not recall anymore.”

Chance: “Right… sure you don’t Benny. There was a fellow merc when I was starting out. Becca. That’s all ya need to know.”

Felix: “I suppose my betrothed when I was young would have been my first crush. Her name was Alison.”

 Do you or your family have a “motto” – spoken or unspoken?

Lloire: “No. Not really. Maybe if I start one someday I’ll come up with one.”

K’risa: “Oh, like I’d forget what I hear time and time again. ‘One struggle, one people, one destiny.’”

Beta: “Noooope.”

Chadrick: “Ah’ll go with me ma’s. ‘Fortune favours tha bold.’”

Aasifa: “If Aasifa is having one… he is not knowing it, yes?”

Benedict: “As with miss Mau, I could not forget it if I tried. ‘Honour is the reward of virtue.’”

Chance: “No.”

Felix: “Hahaha. Yea, no.”

 What do you do to keep fit?

Lloire: “Every morning is a fairly standard routine. Pushups, crunches, squats, a run… plus all the training and fighting.”

K’risa: “Keep fit? Do you all have to try to stay fit?”

Beta: “I guess all my time at the forge keeps me pretty fit. I mean, hammering stuff all day and working on magitek… it can be hard work.”

Chadrick: “Blitzball’s a pretty full body workout ye know. Outside o’ tha’… Ah find Ah di’nay need much else, aye?”

Aasifa: “Aasifa and Lloire are similar here. Aasifa wakes and does morning exercises. It is ingrained in him since time first remembered.”

Benedict: “I am not so sure I am as fit as say Master Peace or Master Taqalid.”

Chance: “Work. Don’t need anything else.”

Felix: “Aya started me on a training regimen some many many years ago. I’ve stuck with it since.”

 If you could live somewhere else from where you live now, where would it be?

Lloire: “Yanxia. It’s beautiful there.”

K’risa: “I’ve heard there is a land to the south that sounds amazing.”

Beta: “Idyllshire for sure. I wish I could now!”

Chadrick: “E’erywhere. Ah cannay imagine settlin’ down t’ any one spot.”

Aasifa: “Aasifa is with friend Chadrick. The winds blow everywhere. So does Aasifa”

Benedict: “I… have not given that thought. There is still much of the world for me to see to rightly say. Lady Sayo has spoken much of the east and I’ve heard the Steepe is beautiful.”

Chance: “Where I live doesn’t matter. Where doesn’t make it home.”

Felix: “Hah. And packs like to keep on the move, right wolfboy? Dravania if I had to pick.”

 If you had a warning label, what would yours say?

Lloire: “Danger of death, high voltage.”

K’risa: “Shocking.” *snickers* “Um Cat crossing? I don’t know. I’m not all that dangerous.”

Beta: “I unno, something like Warning, explosion hazards I guess?”

Chadrick: “Caution, ‘ot. Tha rest o’ ye are too damned serious.”

Aasifa: “Umm… This is strange question… Aasifa’s would say, warning… anger Aasifa and he will cut of your head. Is good warning, yes?”

Benedict: “I… I think that may be a bit on the nose Master Taqalid. I suppose mine would say Contents under pressure.”

Chance: “Wolf advisory in effect.”

Felix: “Seek shelter.”

 How do you sleep? With clothes, fitfully or peacefully, lots of pillows?

Lloire: “Odd question… I have night clothes… a single pillow, and I imagine a bit more fitfully than many others.”

K’risa: “You poor thing. I um, have a nightgown. That’s all I’m telling!”

Beta: “Rarely and usually where I fall.”

Chadrick: “Godsdamn lad… Yer too young fer all o’ tha’. Get yer rest. Lots o’ pillows and quite peacefully.”

Aasifa: “Aasifa has bed made of cushions. He sleeps well. You should try it. Very comfortable.”

Benedict: “I spend most nights in inn rooms. They are comfortable enough.”

Chance: “Bedrolls more often than not. I sleep fine.”

Felix: “You don’t want to know… trust me. Suffice it to say… in velvet.”

 Real quick, before you all leave. It was recently Valentione’s Day here is Eorzea. How did you feel about that holiday?

Lloire: “Tch… None of your business. My Shield Sister loves it though.”

K’risa: “I love it! I sold all kinds of cute lingerie!”

Beta: “Ikara and I always go out and enjoy the festivities. So I like it.”

Chadrick: “It’s a celebration o’ love, aye? Wha’s nay t’ like unless you’re tha’ gloomy type. Nay dating fer ye eh Lloire? Cut inta tha broodin’ time?”

Aasifa: “This festival was fun time! Aasifa and companion Rahya scared many moogles and then got chairs for our efforts, yes?”

Benedict: “I’m afraid I did not participate, though the decorations and festivities made Sunny quite happy.”

Chance: “…Yea, Lloire… I still owe you an asswhooping for that. She’s still laughing at me… ass.”

Felix: “The pink hurts my eyes… Heh, pinkeye. Hmm… maybe next year I’ll… huh? Oh, we’re done. Great.”

 As always, thank you all for answering our readers’ questions. I think next round we’ll have another theme. Until then!

Masters at Operating By the Senses

. . . those who have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:14

SERPENTS ARE WISE BECAUSE THEY OPERATE BY THEIR SENSES

Snakes are marvellous creatures that live and move on the ground without the privilege of standing up to see what is happening around them. Yet, without the privilege of seeing what we see and hearing what we hear, and communicating like we do, they are able to live, eat, drink and avoid danger.   They flourish where no other animal flourishes and they succeed where no other animal succeeds.

Like any professional assassin, a viper comes equipped with an arsenal of high-tech weaponry and extremely sensitive detection equipment.

The eyes of snakes are particularly good at detecting movement.  It has special sound detectors.  Rather than hearing sounds as we do, snakes pick up vibrations from the skin around their jaws.

Pit Vipers are named after their specialized thermo receptors; heat-sensitive organs, located on either side of the head that look like small pits. These pits contain membranes sensitive to infrared radiation and allow the snakes to locate their prey based on temperature differences with their environment.

A snake’s tongue is also used to sense its surroundings. Snakes smell by using their forked tongues to collect airborne particles. The fork in the tongue gives the snake a sort of, ‘directional sense of smell.’

Snakes have no ears or movable eyelids. They do not hear airborne sound waves, but can perceive low-frequency vibrations transmitted from the ground to the bones of their skulls.

When a viper rests its jaw on the ground, any vibrations on the ground are amplified enormously.  A snake can detect even the impact of a mouse’s feet on sand. When a mouse moves within 15cm of the snake’s head, a snake is bound to know that prey is within striking range.

All these facts reveal a creature that is very sensitive, perceiving all sorts of sensations and taking decisions based on them.  Few creatures are so sensitive and accurate with what they perceive.  We can learn a lot from this wisdom and begin to use our senses like God expects us to.  Perhaps, we would live longer and achieve more if we were more perspicacious and sensitive.

BEGIN TO OPERATE BY YOUR SENSES

1. Begin to sense the anointing when it is present.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said unto him, thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

Mark 5:24-34

Jesus was sensitive!  He knew when the anointing had gone out of Him. The anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit working through you.  I used to hear people say, ‘Can you ‘feel the presence’ of God?’  I did not know what they meant. I never knew whether I was feeling the presence of God or not.  ‘What exactly is the presence of God?’ I thought.

One day, I was ministering in Europe and had no intention of having a miracle service.  I suddenly felt the presence of God and knew that miracles were taking place.  When I called out for testimonies, many amazing miracles had taken place.

From that day, I knew that ‘sensing’ the anointing was real.  Perhaps you have never sensed the presence of God. Tune yourself, and make yourself ready to sense the anointing.  Nowadays, even when chatting with people, I may sense the presence of God.  Sometimes, when talking to an individual I may sense the power of God.  Don’t be dull and dry!  You can become sensitive to the anointing!    

2. Begin to sense when people don’t have faith in you.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, it is because we have taken no bread.

Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, o ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Matthew 16:5-12

You must be sensitive to the faith or doubts of your disciples.  Not everyone believes in everything you are saying and doing. Sometimes, I sense a lack of confidence coming from certain individuals.  As a good leader, you must recognize the different levels of confidence in the people around you.  You must not be deluded about how much you are loved and how much you are trusted.  You must think maturely, sensing doubt when there is doubt and sensing fear when there is fear!  

3. Begin to sense when people have faith in you and in your ministry.

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

And WHEN HE SAW THEIR FAITH, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

Luke 5:18-20

Why is it important to notice when people have faith in you?  Because you must spend your time ministering to those who have faith in you. You must go where people believe in you! You must spend time with people who trust you.!  You must avoid those who do not like you and believe in you!  Do not deceive yourself that everyone likes you or believes in you! God has chosen certain people to like you, to trust you and to have faith in you.  Begin to perceive and pick up these little differences that make a big difference.

Many pastors are sad when there are no miracles.  Most of us are depressed when there seems to be no anointing and no flow of the Spirit.  We often blame ourselves for the lack of joy and the lack of a powerful anointing.  Perhaps, you did not pray enough? Perhaps you did not fast? Perhaps you committed a sin, so God has withheld His power!  These are some of the thoughts that go through our minds when we do not sense the presence of God.  However, with time you will learn that the flow of the anointing depends more on the people you are ministering to than on yourself. If the people are hungry for God and have faith in your ministry, the power of God will flow.

Remember that Jesus could not do miracles in His own hometown.  The Son of God Himself could not do miracles because the people were sceptical.  If the Son of God was limited by the congregation, how much more you and I?

One day, the Lord appeared in a vision to a great prophet and gave him a gift. The instructions He gave to the prophet were interesting. He said to him, ‘Tell the people I appeared to you! Tell the people I gave you a gift! If they believe that I appeared to you, the anointing will flow into them and they will be healed.’

I always wondered, ‘Why did the prophet have to say, “Jesus appeared to me.”’

The answer is simple. It is important for people to believe in God and also to believe in the vessel who is ministering. Indeed, the faith of the congregation is very important.  It is even more important than the minister’s faith! Begin to sense and assess the faith of the people you are speaking to.

The apostle Paul sensed when people around him had faith in his ministry.  This is a very important thing to sense when you are in the ministry.  Paul perceived that the man had faith for healing, and then he moved!

The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

Acts 14:9

4. Begin to sense when there are wicked people around.

Jesus Christ sensed the wickedness of the people around Him.  Never think that everybody loves you. Many people have wicked intentions.  There are many wicked people who pretend to be interested in you!  They may seek to interview you and find out more about the bible.  These people who were interviewing Jesus were actually asking theological questions.  But they hated Jesus Christ and were only interested in finding fault with Him.

Jesus was wise as a serpent. He sensed the wickedness of his interviewers.  Are you as wise as a serpent?  Are your senses exercised to discern both good and evil?  Be wise as a serpent and begin to notice the wickedness in apparently friendly people.  

Tell us therefore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?  But JESUS PERCEIVED THEIR WICKEDNESS, AND SAID, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?  Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.  And he saith unto them, whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

Matthew 22:17-21

5. Begin to sense the sweetness in the Word

As you walk with the Lord, you will notice the sweetness of preaching and teaching.  It becomes like honey to you.  As you grow in the Lord, you will actually enjoy the word of God.  It will be sweet, enjoyable, exciting and exhilarating. You will even know different types of preaching that come from one man of God.  Today, when I play the messages of Kenneth Hagin, I can sense his mood and I can even sense the type of anointing he is operating under.  The word of God is sweet to me.

You will also notice the dryness of the word of God when it is being preached without the presence of God.  There are a lot of de-anointed vessels preaching the word of God today.  When you are sensitive, you will see through it all in spite of the suave suits and numerous scriptures that are quoted.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How SWEET ARE THY WORDS unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psalm 119:101-103

i still dunno for what reason AHC would have any interest in a country west of Thyssia. shit, historically, their relationship was probably exclusively with ‘east Thyssia’ so that when it was conquered and merged into what is now Thyssia, AHC was probably pissy about that. its probably what, in a delayed way, prompted the political marriage of Adelaide to Erick. to say ‘listen, us hating you because you were west thyssians and conquering our friends, thats behind us, we cool now ya?’ and they were probably also friends with countries to the east, like farther east than anything else in the story.

so what would they have with the west? specifically a small country between Thyssia and the west buckos. it could be a more idealogical alliance than a ‘we were buds’ thing, i suppose. like, more to do with globalization and the access to stories than anything. if the little country is one that recently sought independence from the westerners, perhaps, then maybe AHC decided to support this, since AHC is similarly proud of continuing to exist as its own entity as opposed to a part of a greater Thyssia. (which could happen in the far future, depending on how Thyssia and AHC react to Adelaide’s fucking chicanery)

so, that could work. at some point, a different ethnic group or different ideological views formed within the west, and in recent times (like, the last 50 years or so) theyve sought independence from the west. AHC, as a country proud of remaining its own entity, ruled only by itself, supports them in this drive, admittedly in a from afar, gentle back pat sorta way. platitudes, right. and perhaps the ‘current’ (20 odd years ago) independence was an easing method. like how russia became the soviet union ‘as it transitioned into a fully communist country’. that didnt happen, but its a similar idea.

so, sizeable group in the west demands independence from the west, AHC supports, and the West enters a state of compromise. the borders are determined and the new state is formed, but it functionally remains a subsidiary of the West. sorta like a colony, i guess? still under Western control, they run the place legally, like the big wigs, but the new country can elect its own officials and has its own government, except that government ultimately must answer to the Western one. its a taste of their freedom. this lil state is fucking stoked. they immediately begin on securing deals and trade with other countries independent of the West, since the West clearly has different friends. and one of their first ports of call would be AHC, since it was very open in its ideological support for the countries independence. it makes sense, yknow.

so, they become allies with AHC, with deals in place for trade and such. most of AHC’s items that it trades to NG (new guys, fuck it) would be items it recieved elsewhere, basically giving NG access to the world that it cant access just yet on its own. plans begin for an NG regional airport, allowing it to access countries that lil bit further off, likely via Thyssia or the West, since Thyssia likely has a pretty big regional airport. theres also the neutral country to the north west which could be a major regional hug (hence the negotiations being placed there later) and all that fun jazz. because, well, all that sort of global infrasctructure is located within the West’s borders, and while the citizens of NG technically hold a dual citizenship and can use these things from the west, they want that independence, gotta build their own.

but, theres clearly rules about it, and one of those rules is probably a No Military thing. the West doesnt want NG to have a military of their own. but its probably blanket too, like no military forces at all. from anyone. no armies. nada.

then the West gets antsy. they dont wanna let go of the land NG has, not really, its got access to the coast that the West always appreciates, and they probably start pushing strange restrictions to try and retain control. greater access to NG for the west, that sorta thing, stuff thats one sided and doesnt benefit the NG much at all. and NG starts prickling, and they call in AHC to help. and AHC is confident that this all be easy, send an ambassador, a few armed people to protect them, easy peasy, no worries. now, a few is a non definite number. 20 is a bit more than a few.

so the West gets really antsy. there are armed people in NG, ostensibly supporting NG against the West, this is war, they get real pissy about this. which is fair, because 20 is overmuch and AHC is clearly overstepping its boundaries substantially.

and thus, the war begins.

though, if this is what happens, and that the war began due to AHC overstepping its boundaries in an attempt to protect another countries independence, what happened to the lil country by the end? since, it was a 4 year war, with Thyssia stepping in and protecting AHC and NG with its faarrrr superior military force. then, after 4 years, a ceasefire was arranged, and King Erick made his naive decision to, i guess drive through NG to reach the neutral country in which negotiations were being held? idk. depends our far back inland NG reaches, if NG is a tiny thing snuggled on the coast then it was probably driving through the north western tip of Thyssia.

but then, because Erick was killed, and its determined that it was Western soldiers who did it, the war breaks out anew between the West and Thyssia, or, more pertinently, between Adelaide and The World. so what become of NG? well, if it was IN NG that Erick died, NG has gotta help out, theyre desperate to not seem shit, theyre incredibly helpful, but, well, are they still at war??? idk. esp if its not on their soil, if Erick died in Thyssia’s north west. do they independently reach for peace with the West while they battle Thyssia?

probably. the problem is, they were trying to reach peace with Thyssia’s help, and Thyssia cannot help them negotiate peace now because Thyssia is basically beyond negotiation for a fair while. so Thyssia probably brings in either AHC or another neutral country to support it, and they’d reach peace with the West. i think NG still exists. they won the war, essentially, though it was p much wholly due to Thyssia stepping in to help AHC help them, yknow.

so NG is still around. theyre probably still allied to both AHC and Thyssia. the west wont dare touch them now. they’ve been fully separated and made independent. thats cool.

it does sorta make the west into full on assholes, like indefinite dicks, but if i wanted i could make it be due to a leader and not the country? besides, the assassination of Erick was not government mandated. they cant explain how it happened, because they honestly dont know, but it was honestly just some rebellious assholes pissed that Thyssia stepped into a conflict that wasnt theres and started bossing everyone around, and they saw erick in his car and went ‘we;re in’ and blew him up. they were probably members of the Western military, but not acting under their orders, they basically went rogue.

yea. sure. so that mean the west are dicks. but if its just a particular leader, like one elected group that were subsequently removed, that could work. for instance, right, i feel a typical term of government is 3-5 years. so lets so its 5 years. that encompasses the entirety of the first 4 years of the war and the bits before, so it can include a build up of increased tension regarding the independence of NG. then, like a few months before the ceasefire, the West has an election and the party is like, tooootally removed, everyone just goes ‘are yall fucking stupid’ and votes them out. and the new party is desperate to right the wrongs, hence the subsequent ceasefire and attempt at peace that is thwarted by rogue soldiers, possibly the supporters of the previous government.

that government, the one that failed at peace because it couldnt ‘adequately explain how such an incident occurred), they probably stay in power at the next election, because any outrage over that incompetence has probably faded and been replaced with a frustration with Thyssia (or, Adelaide) refusing peace talks. so, theyre good.

on Thyssia’s end.... idk. their politicians probably remained the same in the lead up to and the first 4 years of the war. maybe even the beginning of the next 7 year portion, the Thyssia-West war. technically two separate wars. its at the elections during that war that Thyssia also makes a push for this stupid shit to end. Yes, Erick was killed, thats awful, but if this continues there wont BE a West. you tell someone youre Thyssian and they laugh. theyre the scorn of the world.

eventually it ends. but noones pushing for Adelaide’s deposition yet. but thats 90% because they dont want Jackson to be king yet. they want him to be king, of course, the speeches he’s been making in the recent years have connected well with the people and they think he’ll do well. its just that he’s still a teenager and he’s emotionally fragile, and everyones sympathetic about it. dont push him in yet.

then, of course, Jackson turns like 24 and everyones like ‘well.... he’s got his emotions in control.. he’s an adult.... the throne is his by right.... the fucks going on’

in hindsight, everyones pretty sure they shouldve pushed for Duke Andrew to take the throne. thats the big mistake, lmao
