#I'll save it as a reaction pic at the very least

[textsfromthetva]

no idea what to make with this, but it's too beautiful to keep to myself

[burning-academia-if]

ooooh, ro's are in public when they get a naughty text&photo from mc?

Under the cut for mild nsfw!

Rook: He hardly shows an outward reaction, save for a quick grin. The kind no one would question. His response is almost instant, 'jfc you're so hot I bet you'll look even better when I come over tonight'

Beck: He'd show a glimpse of surprise, eyes scanning the photo as slowly as he can before he fears getting caught. His response is a little more teasing then you're used to, 'If you wanted me so badly, all you had to do was ask. You know I'd never say no to you'

Rhea: It catches her off guard, and she quickly clicks her phone screen off. She tries to school her expression, but she can feel the heat spreading through her and the image of you is burned into her mind. It takes a moment before she manages to text back 'felt like misbehaving today, darling?' You'll be met with a pic of her own later when you least expect it as revenge.

Zoe: It's an immediate *looks at phone and proceeds to slam it back on the table face down* kind of reaction. They certainly were Not Prepared for that. Once the embarrassment dies down, they text back 'I can't tell if you're showing off how great you look, teasing me, or both.'

Lars: He genuinely has no reaction when he first sees it. In fact, he'll casually continue with whatever he was doing and after a little while all you get is, 'I'll deal with you later' And he does deal with you later. Very thoroughly.

???: Oh, their eyes light up seeing you there. They know you're body well by now, but the pleasure in seeing it remains the same. It's a treat to see in a place where they'd rather not be. 'Are you tempting me for later? Because we both know I've never been able to resist temptation'

Kingohger 25 misc theories / reaction to Big Announcement

EDIT: Erica IG live confrimed Kingoh S2 is happening together with Gotchard i.e. ep27/Sept 3

wait a minute... they have not confirmed 27 would immediately be the time skip, but if so, God's fury is still unsolved. Takamina said he wrote 25 "as if" the series finale, but that does not contradict 30 being a chapter finale. but if time skip only happens in 31 it's a bit early?? why else would they need to announce it at the mid-way point?

Yeah no, "September" is 27. Yuzuki cut her hair ~1/8 which fits with the broadcast schedule.

---

Racules is dead for 2 years????? He's not coming back the same day Yano-san host a baseball opening?

Then again, we never knew what Racules and Deathnarok discussed in their "negotiations" in ep16 🤔

but pessimistically what if 26 is Racules last appearance!? Yuzuki mentioned Yano-san is on set in the madigi trio interview, so that's, by the latest, late July. 🤔

---

the latest TTFC extras call is for an original Sakamoto work. I didn't think it was KO because usually they are more specific with costume details. Now the "Big Announcement" is out is more for sure this is not kingohger-related. still praying for kagu spinpff ToT

---

my first thought was, they simplified everyone's costume so it's easier to move around in ?? but that's not quite true. Himeno and Rita's skirts are, but Kagu is still in that getup and Gira heavier costume so ease for action is not the priority here.

Does "Space" means there'll be more on-location filming? Not that I'm against it of course, just that it doesn't make sense for Toei to spend the time and money they saved by using virtual production, and when the CG is a selling point of the show. For now, the door is open, the question is whether new planets would be shown in CG or kyu-style locations. I lean towards the former in consistence with the fantasy style of the show, but at least they left a backdoor for interacting with previous teams.

To think they'd travel planet-to-planet kyuranger style is probably not what's happening, it's more a general term for the second season phase's boss coming from space and being who caused the divide between humans and buganroks 2000 years ago.

But I'm so down for a kyuranger crossover though 🤣 if this is Sakamoto's new work...

Costumes

I didn't notice Gira wearing Racules's clothes the forth, the fifth time. Gotta admit I was very distracted by his hair that makes him look even more like a local comedian XD I like his braids and was waiting for Taisei to cut his hair lol. conspriacy zenkai with that Racules charm being long hair too/jk

Blond Yanma needs some time getting used to. I couldn't be sure at the beginning of the week but I rationalize it as Aoto himself turning blond for a day or two, but that color is really saturate on Yanma haha. I think in general Aoto's hair look darker on-screen? oh wait... that's why his hair on 24/7 is brown instad of black... he's already bleaching it... anyway, 金髪ヤンマ総長めっちゃヤンキーぽい！looks older too. kinda want to throw an ikura-loving daughter with superpowers onto him haha.

Himeno-sama!! I love Himeno's look??! I LOOOOVE the new shoes! I love her dress. You can see her dress more clearly on Erica's twitter. The new dress compensated for where I felt v1 is under-designed/too Belle like. the construction looks like it can do better but it's unfair to say so from just one pic :p the poster ver. looks like a petticost is still included so maybe that was just an offshot. Hair: i wonder if it's Erica's own. It'd be less hot to wear a wig (circles back to location filming speculation). The colour matches and the volume sure is more tamed than before.

Ah. Rita-sama. what can i say. they barely changed. i mean toei wouldn't show us a proper angle of their face huh (or be grateful for their mercy because the fandom would collectively become the avatar foaming mouth guy - wait we already were with the ritamoru scene). i'll tell you what, my knees were on the floor and i was hammeraing it murmuring 'GENDER' at 10 in the morning when i saw they had the guts to cut Rita's hair AND SKIRT short. 💔RIP Rita's coat.

Then I asked if Rita's having a lighter oufit becaus they go out too much/don't stay in Gokkan as often anymore lol.

Kaguragi 😳 I said Kaku-san isn't my type but I appreciate him as a specimen. The long hair startled me. Just when I thought everyone is going in the 'simplified' direction he looks 'more'?, which, very Kaguragi style. He looks like a chinese period drama character!! He looks like the kings in MY history books??!?

Jera... I didn't noticed what happened with Jera before and frankly there's not much visible. He got short sleeves/more exposed forearm + sideswept hair. (and that bug arm glove is looks kinda bare upper the arm) I would be more curious if more of his age is showing…

If Gira is sticking with the crown is it the first sentai without a "red"...

[stargazing-serpent]

I definitely see where you're coming from, but I have to minor additions which explain why I only mostly agree with you, if that makes sense.

Crowley does turn the guns back into paintball guns before the police arrive. It's not verbally stated, but it's on screen:

The quality of the pics is horrible because for some reason Amazon won't let me take screenshots any longer

Which means there is no evidence to get anyone in trouble. They're all perfectly safe on that front. The police are just discovering that there are no actual guns there.

2. We see the humans' reactions to the guns. They don't stop shooting because they wanted to shoot at each other with real guns, just as Crowley said. They'd have happily killed each other or at least tried to until someone would've actually gotten hurt or died. We can see that none of them are actually scared but in various stages of excitement.

Which brings me to my actual point which is that I don't think that there was any trauma following the incidence, points 1 and 2 combined. A scare definitely, but that might have been a good thing leading to some serious contemplation about one's own character and the readiness to actually shoot a colleague. I'll be veering into what I don't know is implied or just a personal headcanon but Crowley already states, in episode 1, that as soon as something clashes with what people consider normal, nobody gives a shit - he was talking about the Hellhound in that scene but it does apply to everything else because we learn, at the end of teh season, that nobody even remembers the Apocalypse not because Adam forced them to forget but because it was so weird. Even Newt and Anathema, who've been present, only vaguely remember saving the world. Which, applied to the paintball gun scene, in my opinion at least means since a) nobody even got a scratch and b) the guns were turned back to pintball guns, it would be chalked up as a collective hallucination or a misplaced call for the police. Definitely still going down in company history, that's for sure, but I really don't think there would have been trauma with everything we see on screen during and the snippets of after. Again - correct me if I'm wrong here. I do think it would have been a vastly different outcome had Crowley not turned the guns back into paintball guns (or had anyone been hurt).

So under these circumstances I don't think it was careless of him because he took all the precautions neccessary. If they don't apply, I fully agree that it wasn't a bad thing but definitely careless.

Apart from that, I always felt the paintball prank was a very clever middle-finger at God and very much summed up Crowley's opinions on the Almighty's methods: God gave humans free will - including the right to murder (to directly quote Crowley) and they're murdering each other and have been right from the start. Crowley on the other hand preserved their free will 100% but miracled it so that nobody would get hurt, which shows that free will and a murder-free world can co-exist. Which means that God just doesn't care enough. At least that's how I've always read that scene in the context of the story, and even more so now after season 2 (especially the Job and Bodysnatchers minisodes).

Don't get me wrong, Crowley does have his own moments of carelessness (-> e.g. the duck) but he makes up for them (-> e.g. resurrecting the duck, resurrecting the dove, saving the goats, caring about the ducks in season 2, to stay on the same scale).

we really do not talk enough about the fact that a) aziraphale really did not care about stopping the apocalypse and b) crowley is right on the verge of a mental breakdown all day every day

a few examples from the script book (my beloved <333)

[shadowkat678]

Yo! Send me asks about my d&d characters. As many questions as you want the more the better.

I'm bored. I promise I'll answer this time we're getting into hyper fixation territory.

My characters so far you can ask about!

1. Jin

This is my swashbuckler changeling who likes to pretend they don't have crippling issues that need therapy. Them (or at least the form that Jin grew up embodying) and their sister, Elza, are also my profile pic! Speaking of, Jin recently got back their sister, who was very dead which Jin had a lot of self blame for, after making a stream of mistakes to get there. Also, their brother hates them. The three are triplets technically but Jin was switched at birth, in more traditional changeling fashion. Feeling So Much™️. Non-binary disaster.

Jin really just wants a break but despite apparently gaining the favor of a luck goddess, who knows when they'll actually get a real break. Because oh look, on top of personal issues, we also gotta deal with cults! Fun! We did get to hijack an airship in the process of rescuing their sister though, so that was fun. Also the Wish spell used to bring her back to life MAY have affected the timeline in very important ways???????? Oops?

Jin may have managed to get my favorite forgotten realms npc as his enemy. Jarlaxle, secret ruler of Luskan and my top favorite pirate drow, is probably going to be after their ass. Yep. It was HIS airship! :D

Feel like karma is getting me back for all the shit I've pulled dming with Jarlaxle against my players. Welp.

2. Sabel

My drow primordial warlock. Her home was overtaken by an evil lich hellbent on ruling the Underdark. Her dad disappeared a few years before and possibly is involved in a resistance movement? She was also tricked into giving up information critical in said conquest by her uncle, so she ran off into the Underdark, almost died, and was saved by her patron who she still has no clue what their deal is. Now also part of resistance and is roaming the surface looking for allies and experiencing extreme culture shock every ten minutes or so. Also very gay but currently still too preoccupied with PTSD and the lich taking over her home for relationships.

Anxious. About everything. All the time. Her familiar Mojo doubles as a therapy animal who rides on her shoulder as a fire salamander. She has gone into hyperventilation twice so far so I mean not doing as bad as she could be. Number might get higher. Considering those times involved seeing a friend die and the city the party had been sheltering getting OVERRUN BY DEMONS...I mean, hyperventilating is a fair reaction to that I think.

She is also the group mom friend and is the only character I've ever played who's actually trustful of authority, and as someone who absolutely not, the trouble she gets into due to this trait and being a naive neutral good goody two shoes is MADDENING.

3. Dalora

A Dhampire monk with a dip in rogue for cunning action. She was dealing in some shady side gigs while apprenticed to her guild. This ended in a not so fun neck biting encounter that she's still surprised to have woken up from, abit with...a significantly lower heart rate and no longer needing to breathe.

She's now taken up mercenary work, along with modeling on the side for her girlfriend Melody, a tiefling bard who is tired of Dolora racing in with blood all over her shirts. Think Josephine from Dragon Age Inquisition and you have Melody's entire aesthetic.

She wants to move past her early life choices, but the bastard who bit her MAY have found out she lived and MAY not be happy about it. Not currently playing her, but I really, really, really want to if nothing else than for the antics with her girlfriend, who of course gives Dolora all her clothing. I need art and a full romcom for these two CN lesbian disasters stat.

4. Lorana

Next, the tiefling old ones warlock who is discovering why her dad was so deadset on her staying home and safe. AKA, the world be shitty sometimes, especially when you're in a minority group people often don't always like. Sadly, her dad has disappeared, and she's stuck working everything out with just her, the party, and an annoying Sprite named Callum who won't stop being sarcastically critical about anything and everything.

She got her powers when she found a Magician terrot card baring her likeness, and now EVERYTHING is WEIRD. Also no matter how often she throws the card away, it keeps showing up back in her bag. She also has super unsettling dreams sometimes.

This was my first serious character and sadly the games I put her in all ended super soon so I never got very far with her. I still love her concept and want to use her again one day, but at this point I'm worried she's just cursed.

5. Riana, prefers to be called Rini.

Last but not least, my punk rock aasimar trickster cleric. Her mom and uncle kept fighting over custody to use her aasimar rep for their own ends, so she scammed them both and ran off. Sadly, both are very influential people, and are not happy with getting tricked by a rebellious teenager. It's cool though because she found some friends that are letting her hang with them low key, and occasionally they go get in bar brawls, which are great bonding experiences. She just got her first piercing and her spiritual weapon is a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat.

I also haven't played her yet but when I do it'll probably be on the cusp of her mom finding where she's been and she needs to GTFO pronto. Very bubbly and enthusiastic, but also no I'm not telling you about my background so stop asking and let's just wreck something. Also she has a guardian angel that's only minimally going along with the antics but also does agree with getting out of the toxic environment. He's just not sure if he approves too much more of her new activities. She thinks he needs to get the stick out his ass.

Very split on the topic of being religious, despite being a cleric, and kinda just wants to have a good time and not go back to being used in her family.

.

.

And those are my current five d&d characters, sadly only two in current use. Though I think about all of them constantly.

[cyanide-latte]

Ji-woon Hak

OHOHOHOHO I LOVE THE CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT—

*checks smudged writing on hand*

"Jared Leto's Joker, K-Pop Edition".

I honestly do enjoy his design and his cosmetics, regardless of everyone's complaints they're bright. Even if they're default bright, it isn't as though there aren't hideously bright cosmetics for other characters in the game. Plus with as much as they're brightening up the maps, it'll be easier for Trickster mains to actually camouflage especially in the corn.

My least favorite thing about the character actually has little to do with Ji-Woon himself. I'm certainly not as up-to-date as others nor do I possess encyclopedic knowledge on the subject but I've been obsessed with understanding and learning about the darker aspect of east Asian idol culture for well over a dozen years. And to some degree, even if the backstories for Ji-Woon and Yun-Jin are a bit more extreme example, I do appreciate that the devs didn't shy away from trying to show some of that messy, darker reality that permeates idol culture. But I don't necessarily know if it was the best move to then make money off of that. I get it, BHVR's prerogative is to make money. But it still feels somewhat ham-fisted and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Again though, me squinting at the devs and not anything against the character, so.

This one:

The most relatable of quotes, really.

BROTP: hmm. I don't think most other Killers would be inclined to befriend him, and I'm not sure most Survivors would either? But I will say I've seen some of @drowsy-dreamwalker and @idol-trickster 's interactions circulating the tags and my mutuals' blogs, and I really enjoy how natural their interactions come across, so you could sell me on that!

OTP: I don't really have anyone I ship him with, but I suppose he's kind of in the category for me where for example, if I see someone who makes a Survivor OC and ships them with him and I get to see all the love and development put into the ship, I'll be all over that goodness!

NOTP: Again, I don't really have anyone I do ship him with and I don't really like most options in-game, but especially not with Yun-Jin.

Random headcanon: Mild sensory issues regarding touch, predominantly concerned with various fabrics and accessories coming into contact with his skin. Will absolutely be a prima donna about it, too.

Unpopular opinion: I know it's pretty fun to consider Ji-Woon and Danny hanging out, but they're both very much spotlight narcissists. Even if they interacted amicably enough on first meeting, I think it'd very quickly go south. Even if it manifests a bit differently for each of them, Ji-Woon and Danny are both spotlight narcissists and imo, are far more likely to develop a mild rivalry as they realize they're each other's biggest competition for attention.

Song that reminds me of them: Not recommended for anyone who doesn't handle metal very well but Beast Within by In This Moment was the first thing that came into my head as I read through his backstory when the All-Kill chapter dropped.

For fanart, my favorite pic of him is a GIF piece by @stabbyhandsmcmike where Ji-Woon has his elbows on a table, sitting pretty and blinking all innocent as you please. As for official images, my favorite has to be this GIF!

I'm not the biggest fan of this Killer trailer but the sheer energy and motion in these frames is exquisite and I did end up saving this GIF to my phone. It has a level of self-confidence and untouchable sass that few other reaction images can match quite right.

Thank you for sending this one in, @fandom-trash-247 , I had fun working on this answer!

[dickie-gayson]

Fun Young Justice Fact!!

I straight up c r i e d during the S1 episode Coldhearted but not for the reason yall think. I've seen MANY discussions and reactions but not ONCE have I seen any love or recognition given to my boi in Coldhearted

THIS IMPORTANT DOCTOR MAN RIGHT HERE. U SEE HIM?? Y'ALL REMEMBER HIM? UR GONNA GET A LESSON ABOUT THIS LOVELY, BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT DOCTOR RIGHT N O W

This doctor (he's the good one, not the goon) isn't named during the show iirc BUT his name is in the credits.

Pieter Cross.

Pieter Cross.

P I E T E R C R O S S

Y'all, Pieter Cross is another dc superhero - one of my favs.

This lovely accented doctor, Pieter Anton Cross, is none other than Doctor Mid-Nite (the second). here's some pics (the first is w his bffl/platonic life partner Michael Holt aka Mister Terrific)

Pieter graduated from Harvard Medical at 19. He's essentially the Hero Community's go-to doctor for everything.

"Doctor Mid-Nite is the world's most prominent superhero doctor. He is often called upon when an autopsy is needed, or when a hero needs major surgery."

Ye, he's had to autopsy his dead friends :( he also does casual checkups. Powergirl goes to him for her check ups and to keep an eye on her powers. He's done a bunch of life-saving surgeries on not only the heroes but ALSO their loved ones! He performed surgery on Lois Lane after she got shot. When Hush removed Catwoman's heart from her body, Doctor Mid-nite and Mister Terrific were able to successfully put it back in and save her.

You not only want him in ur corner when ur hurt, u need him. There's none better! Imagine the sheer amount of crazy powerful allies he has bcus he saves all sorts of heroes and their loved ones! U don't attack the healer unless u wanna get fucked up by the rest of the squad, right? U also don't piss the healer off unless u wanna suffer, right? Same energy, fam. It helps that he can perform surgery flawlessly in the fuckin pitch dark.

He's disabled! In fact, Doctor Mid-Nite is credited as the first disabled superhero in comics! They're talking about Charles McNider, his predecessor, but Pieter Cross is also disabled. He's blind. I won't go into his whole origin but suffice to say he was unwillingly drugged and it caused him to go totally blind except for in the absolute dark.

He can only see in the dark and/or with his specialized lenses iirc. He carries smoke grenades that cause absolute blackness (think vanta black bombs) bcus he can see just fine in it and others can't. Any attack that involves having to see the attack (think Medusa's gaze) doesn't work on him cus he's conventionally blind. HOWEVER when he can see, it's fuckin crazy. Eagles got nothing on how sharp his eyes are in the right setting. Like we're talking super vision.

Those funky lenses on his cowl? They're to let him see in the light. It's kinda like infrared goggles and can let him see ultrasonic as well. Without his tools, he can't see. He got his sight back once and hated it bcus he could no longer work the way he used to.

OTHER FUN FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT DOCTOR

Doctor Mid-Nite has his own website where he provides free medical advice to registered users.

He's Norwegian-born. (That's his accent in that YJ ep)

Him and Mister Terrific are the bestest of friends (I felt the need to reiterate bcus they're Besties for Life. Read 1 comic with them in it and you'll see what I mean)

HE HAS A PET OWL NAMED CHARLIE!! He named him Charlie after the first Doctor Mid-Nite, Charles McNider!! He's trained to aid Pieter in combat! Attack owl!!! Batman has his Robins, Mid-Nite has owl sidekicks!

Highly Skilled Escapologist

He briefly dated Black Canary

His general medical license has been revoked, not that it stops him from practicing and helping ppl. He gives zero fucks. He's here to help, not politick around when ppl are dying.

He never stopped being a doctor, even after becoming a superhero. HE'S A LOVELY, KIND, COMPASSIONATE MAN WHO JUST WANTS TO HELP PPL

He's vegetarian AND he does yoga (imma cry yall, he's so fuckin great)

S1 of Young Justice appears to take place before he gets his powers and becomes Doctor Mid-nite cus he's not wearing any type of glasses. Wally interacted w (imo) one of the greatest heroes and doesn't know it!

Mid-nite is the one everyone says Tim Drake copied with his one Red Robin uniform (it's true too. I wouldn't be surprised if Tim was a Mid-nite fan, they seem like they'd get along)

T H I C C T H I G H S!!! I know everyone talks about Jason's thighs but Pieter's thighs are next level!! I ain't playing! Look at these hams!!

When his mom was pregnant with him, she got attacked. The OG Doctor Mid-nite saved her. Then, when she went into labor, he delivered lil bby Pieter. What are the odds lmaoo

BDE through the roof, fight me. Massive Meat Energy and I won't apologize for saying it

Survived 'seeing' Johnny Sorrow's face even tho it kills legit anyone who looks bcus he's blind. Used the recording his goggles took of JS' face and played it back to Johnny and beat him lmaoo

As someone summarized nicely: 'Prior to him getting blind, Dr. Pieter was a very caring man.. He would take a walk in the evening every day and helps out poor people who live in the streets, especially to those who are addicted to drugs.. He would help out missionaries in donation to help the poor and the hungry.. A Poor People Savior you might say."

"Doctor Cross uses his medical expertise as a hand-to-hand weapon. Once, when challenged to arm wrestle, he won by triggering the proper nerves in his opponent's arm." Savage Nerd Alert. Can, has, and will continue to use his Galaxy Brain (and BDE) to beat ppl, dirty technique or not.

Geoff Johns on Doctor Mid-Nite: "Doctor Mid-Nite is a visionary, figuratively and literally. Blinded by an accident, he’s able to see on all spectrums through the filters on his goggles."

Here's some of him being the Super Doctor:

Helped Alan Scott to determine if he was composed of the Green flame of Starheart

Helped Power Girl to check and test her powers

Saved Hourman's life by performing an emergency surgery

Saved Oracle by removing the Brainiac virus which possessed her body

Saved Lois Lane's Life by removing a sniper bullet after she was shot

Helped Raven to drive the demonic possession that attacked her by using Hologram Tech

I love him and would die for more content about him

Srsly I'll cry if even one(1) person acknowledges him in a YJ fic (or any fic tbh)

APPRECIATE DOCTOR PIETER ANTON 'MID-NITE' CROSS OR P E R I S H

Also if ur writing a YJ fic and have need for a doctor, pls add him. He didn't graduate med school to be ignored, yall. Or add him in just bcus he's rad af. At least do it for Charlie the owl!!

Playboy Pt. 1

The pics are of what Yuridia's suit looks like of course along with one of the inspirations for her looks alongside Sasha Montenegro & Rossy Mendoza, Turkan Soray.

As ever, forever editing...

Might alter or change the title...

Please be kind...

Let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

...

Late 1972

London, England

...

"Hold still!" The Bunny Mother instructed as she did her best to help her new charge into a black suit. The suit was new in a sense, and similarly, so was the bunny. 18 and a new recruit. She had just come from Los Angeles with a rather unusual name. Yuridia. Yuridia Garcia. Her full name was impossibly long as she herself had admitted. Hearing it once made Joan's head spin & her jaw drop in shock. It was like one of those names straight out of a Spanish drama or swashbuckler. Thankfully Yuridia wasn't offended. She just laughed it off.

She had been sent over for a short while to pad out the holiday shift & to allow Yuridia a chance to show her full potential as opposed to having her options limited in terms of hours & places in the club she was allowed to work as she would otherwise have faced at home due to her young age.

At first Joan didn't understand why they didn't just tell the shy, soft-spoken child with the admittedly terribly sweet, soft accent to come back in three years when they could use her to her best advantage in the LA club...

Save her the trip...

Pick someone else...

And then she met her...

And dressed her...

"Won't need these..." Joan teased as she removed the stuffing & padding from the cups of the suit. A lot of bunnies secretly padded. It was no big deal. A big secret kept from the public...

But no big deal...

The bunny bodice held and hid a multitude of sins...

Not that Miss Garcia had much to atone for at the ripe old age of barely 18...

Still...

You'd be surprised what a suit like the bunny suit could do for a girl's figure...

Across all sorts of body types...

Like it was made out of magic & fairy dust instead of just satin & stays...

Joan had seen it herself firsthand...

And right now even without the padding - admittedly unnecessary on Yuridia - the suit was still working it's insane, inconceivable magic...

Emphasizing every last one of her curves & her mile long legs to full effect!

It was doing her all kinds of favors whether she needed it or not!

Every. Last. Favor. On. Earth!

As Joan fastened the suit around her newest charge, who would be known as "Bunny Yuri" to the patrons of the London club, Yuridia herself fixed her cuffs. She made sure that the Playboy Bunny logos on the cufflinks faced each other when she put her wrists together as was the rule. Made sure the bunnies kissed" as was the rule. "Kissing Bunny cufflinks" was just one of many little details that had to be filled out just so. And she knew failure to do so would result in warnings, admonishments & demerits. Another such detail was daintily perched ears which seemed to "quirk" just so. This was the next thing Yuridia handled as Joan handled yet another detail. Fluffing her bunny tail. Yuridia cast a shy smile in the mirror at Joan, nodding a polite. "Thanks..."

"Any time, luv. It's my job..." Came the reply based in soft laughter.

This shy little thing. What kind of a bunny would she make out there?

Yuridia then gazed in the mirror to inspect her reflection as suddenly another bunny burst through the room.

"Yuri! You're working the VIP room with me and Diana right?" It was Bunny Kitty, panting in breathless excitement for God knows what reason.

"Yes, of course. Although I have a short shift tonight. I worked a split today. Why? Is anything the matter? Any problems? Anything wrong, Kitty? Any changes?" Yuridia gazed at her breathless friend curiously.

"No... Nothing's the matter... Nothing's wrong... No changes..." Kitty sighed after a drink of water, finally calming down. "It's just that we got some very, VERY important people that are being put into your section right now. VVIP... VVVIP!..."

"Oh? Anyone I oughta know, luv?" Joan asked as she made the last few adjustments to "Yuri's" suit.

"Or me? Even though I'm new here and not from around. Or are they more locally known & famous?" Yuridia asked.

"Oh no! No! No! No, they're definitely well known... Internationally known... Internationally famous... Or infamous..." Kitty giggled. "And you DEFINITELY should have heard of them by now!..." I'm not sure if I oughta tell you or just let you go out & find out yourself..."

"Not sure if I should even ask... I'm a little scared now with how you've talked of them..." Yuridia laughed before asking. "Can I at least ask this? How many are there?"

"Four..." Kitty replied in an awed hush, fighting back a squeal as she clenched her fists.

"Well by that reaction, Kit, I have to ask... Is it the Beatles? Have they decided to reform?" She teased.

"Noooo... But you're on the right track... Not the worst guess you could have made.

"Oh wow... That big?... That famous?... That popular?..."

"Just about..." Kitty smiled.

"Mmmm... I see..." Yuridia hesitated, nerves starting to get the better of her momentarily, prompting her to come up with a proposition. "Are you gonna shadow me then? Make sure I don't mess up? Or do you just want to take my table? I take yours? Who knows? They might like you better..." She teased hoping that she could play her nerves off well enough.

"I'd love to! But I can't... The floor manager would have my neck!" She laughed, rubbing the back of her neck for emphasis.

"Did you greet them for me? Tell them I'll be right with them? After I finish getting dressed I mean..." Yuridia laughed nervously.

Kitty nodded. "I did. Though I didn't exactly go into specifics of course." She grinned, motioning to Yuridia in her suit. "Not that I think that they'd have minded of course! But of course that would be against policy so... Your secret is safe with me." She laughed.

"Ohhh... Kitty..." Yuridia gave Kitty a playful shove as she began to blush slightly.

Kitty laughed again. "Why on earth are you so shy? How on earth were you hired if you blush at the drop of a hat?"

Joan swatted at Kitty playfully. "Don't scold her! She can't help it! Besides... You know the boys out there might actually like that... They might get a kick out of it!..."

Yuridia turned to glance at Joan as best as she could without disrupting her work adjusting her suit again. "I assume you have experience... With them?"

Kitty leant in to whisper something to Joan, making her gasp. Yuridia swore she heard a "it's..." or "they're...". Spilling the beans on the mystery patrons' identity apparently as Joan & Kitty both nodded in reply.

"You bet, honey. And they have plenty experience with us. And others!" Kitty grinned.

"Well then, you two!" Joan cut in after giving Yuridia's suit one last tug upwards & her tail one last fluff. "Why don't you be off then! So Kitty you can SHOW our little miss "Bunny Yuri" her patrons for the evening! Now be off you two! Shoo, shoo, shoo!" She laughed.

The laughter was echoed by Kitty who took Yuridia by hand as she thanked Joan one last time & lead her out of the dressing room & through the long corridor to the main floor.

"Kitty..." Yuridia hushed.

"Mmmm?" Came the response.

"Can't I get one last clue? Please? Just one little one?" Yuridia pleaded.

"Can't wait till we get out on the floor & to our section?" Kitty asked with a playful smile.

"Mmm-mm..." Yuridia shook her head.

Kitty just laughed. "Alright then... Here... Shine your light on these..." She paused just a few steps from the entrance to the main hall & presented her cuffed wrists, "kissing bunny cufflinks" and all. But the kissing bunnies weren't meant to be the focal point...

Nor were they...

For as Yuridia shone her little mini flashlight down on Kitty's cuffs she noticed something for the first time...

Kitty's cuffs were no longer pure white...

They were marred...

Marked...

Scribbled on...

Written on...

Yuridia was just barely able to make out four distinct signatures...

But she didn't trust what she saw...

Or what she thought she saw...

"Kitty..." She hushed.

"Uh-huh..." Came the slyly smiling reply.

"Kitty...

Kitty...

Kitty, these are...

These are...

These are...

Am...

Am...

Am...

Am I reading this right?...

Like am I seeing things correctly?..."

"What do you see, "Yuri"?" Kitty teased.

"I dunno...

I almost don't trust myself to read this right..."

Kitty just laughed & pointed across the room to their section. There... Tucked away in a booth... Signing the cuffs for a gaggle of other giddy bunnies were four men... Not just any men... This Yuridia knew as her eyes fell on each member & the accompanying matching scrawled signature flashed in her head in time...

For there...

Tucked away in the comfy dark confines of a booth...

In her section were...

John Paul Jones...

John Bonham...

Robert Plant...

Jimmy Page...

All four internationally popular, famous - and yes Kitty was right, INFAMOUS - members of one of one of the biggest groups on the scene at the time...

LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!

"Oh my God..."

Day 18. February 16, 2020. Kaiteriteri day rides. 275km

Glad I took some great shots yesterday from Kimi Ora resort since it was pretty gray in the AM. Still, really cool to wake up in the woods in a modern unit with a view of the water. I enjoyed my continued vegetarian diet through no choice of my own as the included breakfast was served at the main lodge (about 300 steps down the hill). Plenty of nice choices there and still pleased with the taste of the veggie dinner offerings from last night. One thing I also woke up to was a good amount of swelling and puffiness around my left eye, as the histaminic reaction had spread. Still able to use my eye, but feeling weird and half swollen shut, I felt like saying "Cut me, Mick". Actually got a bit worse for the first half of the day but as of now which is nighttime I will hope that the swelling reduces tomorrow. No real hindrance other than folks asking me if I had fallen from my bike! Heading north we managed to get Ted's debit card to be taken at the local unattended station then aimed up over the very tight and a bit scary hill just to get to the main road. We turned right on Takaka Hill Road and were immediately greeted with a sign that said we may have construction delays. after just a mile or so we ended up first at the traffic light. Theee indicator LED lights showed 6-12', 2-5' & 1'. We had just missed the green light as we saw the last car a few turns up the steep hill but waited it out. We joked about timing our return so that we wouldn't have to again wait another 12'. It wasn't construction but the recent heavy weather had actually washed away a few sections of road, dropping 4-6' of roadway down the hill and now cordoned off with construction barriers to be fixed who knows when. We aimed for the northernmost point on the South Island, Cape Farewell. There are some dramatic rock features that are worth the few hundred meters of tramping up to see them as the South Island abruptly ends into the see. Pics above. The "cave" is hard to see as it is under a very high and steep cliff with no safety measure but the water actually flows into and through this dramatic hole in the mountain's base. Also you can see the water flowing in but didn't want to have a "hold my beer" moment trying to capture the wave action inside the cave. The other spit of headland is marked by a flying buttress of stone and this was the last bit of land that Cook and his crew saw when returning to England in 1770. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Farewell,_New_Zealand

We explored all 3 of the areas we could ride to and they encompassed maybe 10 or 12km of gravel roads around the top of the island. It felt pretty remote and it was beautiful even on a gray day. Next we retraced southward with a slight detour to cruise through Collingwood before opting to stop at the Mussel Inn. In addition to the bohemian vibe, we were treated to a culmination concert of African circle drums and dance provided by a group from around the country that had come together for a 4 day drum circle camp there. I got into the beat as they accompanied my tasty and quite large New Zealand green tipped mussels. Yes Jerry, I pulled the hair patches! 😉 In the toilet though I didn't need it, instead of toilet paper there was a bin of shredded cardboard. As the rain started up again we took our leave and the next brown sign turnoff took us to the Te Waikoropupu springs. This was a great stop as the size of the springs and especially the volume of water billowing from the ground was impressive. A sizable river basically emanated from there in just a couple springs. They are the largest freshwater springs in New Zealand, the largest cold water springs in the Southern Hemisphere and contain some of the clearest water ever measured! Took some pics but hard to grasp the clarity of the water and the volume. Spoke to a couple from Madison who were riding for a couple months on a BMW 1200GS they bought from the dealer in Dunedin we visited. McIver & Veitch. They bought it and have an agreement to sell it back when done which saves them a good third over renting. Good idea for longer rides/rentals. Heading back to the highly technical Takaka Hill, after crossing that Old Takaka River (insert Larry David joke here!), I had the uber geeky idea to count the turns since it had seemed twistier than the Dragon this morning. Of course with a 10' delay at the same one way light location due to bad timing or poor planning, I had to remember I was at 222 turns while at the light. I counted 250 turns in what Ted researched to be a 14.8 mile stretch of road. That is a turn per mile rate of 16.83 turns per mile. The Tail of the Dragon boasts 318 curves in 11 miles. That is a T.P.M. ratio of 28.9. So the Dragon wins. But I have never counted the Tail's twists myself. My impression was that this road is twistier but at this point I'll just accept that all the T-shirts are correct and Takaka Hill is just a bit less twisty. Still a fantastic road that wouldve been a lot more fun if not enveloped in fog at the top and wasn't raining/wet. We then headed past our resort to the closest sizable town of Motueka. Lots of restaurant choices there since the woman at reception yesterday seemed to indicate there wouldn't be much to choose from on Sunday in Kaiteriteri and our resort's kitchen is closed for Sunday dinner. If the weather held off we would try to head there for dinner. However the rain persisted and we also found that the nighttime and slick wet turns required to get back to Kaiteriteri were strong dissuaders. We explored Kaiteriteri a bit more and found the Beached Whale which said they'd be open for dinner later. It also said entertainment 7 nights a week so that sounded good. We rolled back up the hill to our jungle unit and I actually got a one hour nap which was sweet. 😴

We headed back on the bikes in our riding boots and Goretex jackets since it was still raining lightly. I wore jeans, for a mile trip you weren't gonna get very wet unless the weather opened up on us. Ted was far enough ahead of me that I didn't see him slide on the curve approaching the main road. He didn't go down but I also slid at the exact same spot, I'm guessing at least 3-4"". Closer inspection on the return ride revealed a white painted yield sign which must've had lines 6" to 12" wide painted right on the turn covering 2/3 of the width of the lane. We had been warned in the first couple days by a biker about the painted lines in NZ. They are slippery at home too but I think they use no grit here at all on some of them. When wet they can be especially dangerous. We both almost had a real problem at that same spot which we discovered during dinner discussions. A mushroom pizza and a Coke were then serenaded by possibly the owner on guitar and a computer and equipment to provide the accompanying rhythm and occasional synthesizer. He was very good. Again mostly American stuff. Eagles, Johnny Cash, Ike & Tina, Nancy Sinatra, Van Morrison (Irish I know) etc. Good day and going to head toward Havelock tomorrow with some great looking detours to French Pass if the weather cooperates. 😴

reader cries when asked about their parents (.hyung)

✧ request; Hello! I don't know if the original requester has already requested a follow up, so if they have feel free to ignore this lol. Anyway, could you do hyung line for the "s/o cries when they bring up their parents" reaction? I lowkey teared up reading it 😢❤

✧ ji’s a/n; i’m almost glad it made you feel some type of way, it shows my writing is definitely improving on making readers cry uwu i’m also trying out a new format. i may not continue doing it bc it requires way more editing, but since i have these pics saved already lmao fuck it. also, hoseok’s was so long... what the fuck.. i could have edited that and turned it into a fic on its own. update yes this is ji who finished writing this haha i had some free time and needed a stress reliever 

✧ kim namjoon

        namjoon asked the question during a discussion. he had always assumed your relationship with your parents was rocky because he’s highly observant. he’d notice your expression harden at the mention of your mother, or your body flinch at the sight of your father calling. it’s like he already knew what was going on simply because he takes notes on the small things you do. however, this wouldn't stop him from asking about the story.

        in privacy, he'd sit you down and have his eyes bore through you, clasping his hands around yours tightly. "could you tell me what's going on in your family?" he questioned in a soft, yet stern voice. even though you tried to look away and change the discussion, he'd push on. he just wanted to let you talk about your problems. 

       at the sight of tears slipping across your cheeks, he pulled you into his chest and allowed your body to shake with sobs, even as you mumbled incoherent apologizes of not mentioning anything sooner. you wouldn't even be aware that he had already caught onto your personal issues, so you were caught off-guard. namjoon knows how to comfort you silently, allowing you to explain the full story.

        after you regain your composure, he'd cup your cheeks and kiss your forehead lovingly. "thank you for telling me babe, i love you. if anything happens, i'll always here."

✧ kim seokjin

the topic of your family arrived when you brought an album full of your childhood photographs to the dorm. jin sat next to you on the couch, curiously watching you flip through the pages. at the sight of you being dressed as a disney princess, he’d immediately release a dramatic sigh of content. “wah.. you were so adorable, babe. i think even cuter than you are now!” he teased, earning him a playful push against his shoulders. “kidding!” he cooed, wrapping his arms around your body.

the mood remained cheerful until the sight of your mother warmly kissing your chubby cheeks caused a frown to appear on your face. “you look similar to your mother.” he pointed out, leaning forward to stare even more. when he heard no response, he looked up and immediately his face fell. “(y/n), what’s wrong?” he sat up properly, taking the album and resting it on the table, initiating a proper conversation. 

“it’s nothing but...” you looked to the side, bracing yourself for the statement to come out. “my family and i aren’t on the best terms, you see... one big fight and i’ve never...” gulping at the lump forming in your throat, you stopped midway through your sentence. it took a moment to regain your composure. “i’ve never...talked to them since.” alas, tears had pooled at the corners of your eyes and trickled across your cheeks.

“that’s terrible baby...  how come you never told me before?” he asked worriedly, cupping your cheeks with his gentle hands. shrugging loosely, you sniffled. “you guys will certainly talk again soon; you’re a family and you love each other. you know that right?” he consoled. he would use his older age to reflect his wisdom onto you. “it doesn’t feel that way.” you muttered stubbornly, wiping your face. 

“it will be that way. until then, i’ll always stay by your side.”

✧ min yoongi

       despite his usually goofy and light-hearted aura, yoongi would become very serious regarding your personal life. he wants to make sure that you aren't in any kind of danger. he’s self-aware of the fact that there are abusive people in the world and although he prayed you weren’t in that situation, he would want to know about that part of your life. 

       your sobs racking your body weak with your face coated in tears would alarm him greatly. his worry would form a knot in his stomach as he rushed to your side, trying to stare into your eyes. “babe, talk to me.” unable to even respond, you could only shake your head stubbornly. pulling your hands from your face, his concerned state would become visible to you. “are they hurting you? tell me. i’ll help you.” 

       after explaining that your family’s relationship has been steadily crashing, he’d relax at the fact you weren’t in harm, but he’d still feel terrible about your situation. he’d console you by showering you in kisses and reassuring thoughts till you calmed down. he��d also relate his own past issues with yours, confirming that everything will, in fact, work out. 

      “i know it feels overwhelming now, but you and your family will be okay. you love each other. and i love you, too. you’ll be just fine, right?”

✧ jung hoseok

it would be in the middle of an argument. it’s easy to imagine hoseok as someone who becomes frustrated easily. it may be short-lived, but the fact still stands he’ll blow his fuse when necessary. the time that it happened was when you were consistently dodging his questions regarding your family. 

“babe, are you going to keep ignoring me?” he asked, irritation lacing his tone. “yes, until you understand i don’t want to talk about it!” you exclaimed, turning on your heel and exaggeratedly stomping away in an attempt to express your pure annoyance. “how is that even fair? why can’t you just talk to me?” his brows knitted together with annoyance, beginning to follow you. “i am not obligated to tell you everything!” you hissed, throwing a side glance in his direction. hoseok would stand in place for a few moments, his nostrils flared and the growing anger in his chest overwhelming him, before latching his arms onto your wrist. 

he ignored your constant flailing; you resembled a child caught by her father. “you never tell me anything! i think i’d at least want to know about your family! this isn’t fair to both of us.” he began, but he realized you had stopped moving and you directed your gaze to the ground. a few moments passed before he heard your soft sniffling and body shaking, and he’d kneel to examine your expression. snot and tears dribbled across your rosy skin. 

“baby... it’s okay. you’re allowed to talk to me about this stuff.” he rubbed his thumb below your eyes. “my...my family and i... we just keep fighting and i don’t even know how to stop it!” your voice was soft, hoarse and trembled- but as the need for your emotions to spill, its volume increased and your sobs became louder. 

“i didn’t want to say anything because you’re the only person i have to escape from that..." trailing off, you sniffled sadly. “(y/n) i understand... but don’t forget that i am always here. even if you told me, i would make sure not to mention them. and if you want to talk about it, we can. okay?" you nodded weakly, mumbling a soft “mhm” as though you a child being comforted by their parent. 

“i’m sorry...” you muttered, the need to cry causing your face to scrunch. “yah, stop crying- you’re going to make me cry too!” he whined playfully. 

“let’s go watch something funny with the others, okay?”

A new house. A new baby carriage.

Sorry I couldn't cut it. At least I finally wrote something on my phone. Which I never write a fic on my phone but this is a first. Oh well I hope you enjoy this 😁😁 Pics are in the bottom and yeah sorry about that. It's done though and I'm happy I wrote something.

Word count: 1,238

***********************

You and Michael move into your new house. He looks at the blueprints on what he can do with the house. You look into one room, seeing how spacious it is and finally an idea hit you.

You walk out of the room and walk directly to Michael's office. As you look to him, he is in deep thought hovering over his desk and looking at the blueprints of the house.

“You know, you can make bookshelves in that one room. It's spacious and I've always wanted a library” you said while pulling him away from his thoughts.

He looks up to you and smiles at the very presence of your voice.

“I think I can do that. I'm looking into what else I can do with the house” Michael said while walking around his desk.

He stands in front of you and wraps his arms around your waist.

“What else should we do with the house? Wife?” he asks smiling to you

“I'm not the one with the plans husband” you replied and gave him a peck to the cheek.

You walk out of his office and enter the living room to unpack more boxes. You look around the bare living room and begin placing the things where you want them to belong.

Make the house yours and Michael's. After so many years of living in a cramped apartment. Books every where, a tiny office where Michael spent most of his weekends on designing a new project for his boss or his construction workers.

When he got a promotion is when he started to save for a bigger place. You did freelance photography on the side and whatever money you made also went to the house. In no time he found the place and bought it right away.

He surprised you after getting back from a wedding you did and they paid pretty good.

Over the next few days is when he started in the spacious room. Making bookshelves by the window. He wanted to surprise you once more.

You left for another photography job, this time it was for engagement pictures the couple wanted and the next would be for a baby shower for another couple. You were busy for the week and apologized to Michael for ditching him with all the work. Which he insisted about you going.

You grab your phone to FaceTime with him. His phone goes off and sees it's you. He rushed out of the room to answer your call.

“Hi babe” he said with a wide smile while he sweats beads.

“Hey, what are you doing?” You asked while sitting at the desk of your hotel room

“I'm working on a few things around the house” he replied while making sure he isn't pointing his phone to the room.

“Oh, you didn't ask Dean, Sam or Adam to help?” You asked wondering why he wouldn't ask either of your brother's.

“I did, they just left and I wanted to continue on but they said they will come back tomorrow” he said looking flushed

“Oh good. Sounds like you guys have everything under control. Well I'll let you continue on and I'll see you this weekend. Love you” you said while feeling a little bad for leaving him once more

“Hey, don't feel bad. I love you too. See you soon, night” he replied while closing video time.

He goes back to work with the shelves, as he looks at the half completed work is when he decided he will work all night to complete the room. In time for you to come home.

When he finally finished, he stepped back and looked at the work he has done and smiled while thinking of your reaction.

“She is going to love it” he said to himself.

He walked out of the room and into the kitchen to make himself something to eat. He didn't realize how hungry he is. He completely ignored his hunger while working on the library.

After he was done eating is when he started cleaning the dishes he used and went to bed. Finally.

You get off the plane and excited to be home. Excited you would be with your husband again. You don't see him by baggage claim and wondered if he got too busy with the house.

As you walked out of the airport is when you saw his truck pulling up. Making a complete stop and he rushed out to get your bags.

“I am so sorry. Completely lost track of the time and finally saw it was time is when I rushed out and drove like a madman” he said while taking your bags and putting them in the back seat.

“It's alright, I'm just happy to see you” you replied while giving him a hug and a kiss to the lips.

“I'm happy to see you to. Let's get home, I want to show you something” he said while leading you to the passenger side.

He opens the door for you like he always has, he closes the door as soon as you are in the truck and runs around to get into the driver side to head home.

“Close your eyes” he said as he pulls into the driveway.

You do as he says, feeling excited to see the finishing touches of the house and wonder what else he has done with the house.

Michael parks the truck, turns it off and gets out to open the door for you. He leads you into the house and stops.

“Can I open my eyes now? The wait is killing me” you asked while trying to peek between his fingers as his hand is covering your eyes.

“Ok, you can open them” he said while taking his hand away from your eyes

You look at the room that was once empty, bare, spacious and sad looking if you were being completely honest.

“What do you think?” He asked in complete fear you wouldn't like the room.

“It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you, I love it” you replied with a wide smile while your blood rushes in an over abundance of joy.

“You seriously added the wicker chairs?” You asked looking to Michael

“Yeah, I wasn't thinking when I went out and bought them” he replied as he released an awkward chuckle

“But I love it, thank you so much. I love you and I love the fact you built and put  this together for me” you said wrapping your arms around his neck and leaning in to give him a kiss.

“You’re welcome. I'm happy to have done this for you. We have worked hard to get our dream house. A dream house where we can have a family of our own someday” he said while looking deeply into your eyes and so lovingly.

“Speaking of that, I have a surprise and found out over my trip. I'm pregnant” you tell him the good news as his eyes go bright with utter happiness.

“I'm going to be a father!! You’re going to be a mother!! We're going to be parents!!” He said as he couldn't believe the good news.

Calling himself a father couldn't be anymore perfect. Calling you and baby his family couldn't be more fitting. The great news and a new dream house is what the both of you needed and couldn't wait to add more to the growing family.
