Just read the new chapter of ur soccer au and I'm loving it!! Poor pietro, he has my heart.
However when I got to the part where Charles wonders that Erik never seems to object when Charles takes things to manage his telepathy but he does when it comes to Pietro. It kinda does make me sad for Charles. Will we see more of this in the next chapter??
Loved the fic!
Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts!
To answer your question, yes, Charles and Erik will eventually talk in present-time about things like mutant healthcare + medication + Pietro’s ADHD and Charles’ paraplegia. Their reconciliation scene will probably be the chapter after Wanda’s.
But, don’t feel sad for Charles (regarding the painkillers at least)! There are lots of implied reasons that Erik might be okay with Charles taking meds:
Excedrin is an over-the-counter pill that is used in the general population for mild headaches, whereas Adderall is a highly stigmatized prescription drug that parents often worry is overprescribed to children
Charles takes his medicine as needed to get rid of migraines, but Pietro taking a prescription regularly is different (to Erik) in that he might not want his son to become dependent on the drug to function. This is one of the more common talking points in anti-medication discourse, at least in my experience—I’ve worked with many parents who cite “risk of addiction/dependence” as a reason not to medicate their ADHD student.
Canonically, Erik is very proud about being a mutant. So he definitely doesn’t like that doctors are pathologizing Pietro’s gift—he believes the ADHD symptoms are a feature, not a bug (as annoying as he finds them). But in the case of Charles’ telepathy, migraines are a negative side effect.
Charle’s migraines cause him to express visible pain. Pietro’s mutation does not.
Charles is an adult. Pietro is a child.
There are more known telepaths in the world than speedsters at this point in time, so new medications aren’t yet widely tested in individuals with Pietro’s mutation. They have no idea how it’ll affect Pietro, while Charles presumably has been using Excedrin for a while.
Honestly any of these reasons(s) and more could be Erik’s thinking, so for now feel free to take your pick 🤷 I hope that part didn’t come off as Erik not caring about Charles’ telepathy! Erik definitely would have a problem if the Excedrin had the DoFP-effect on Charles (i.e. if he lost his powers from taking them. That’s not the case in this AU).
#did I answer your question….did I even understand your question#LOL I’m sorry if I didn’t! feel free to clarify haha#my reading comprehension is not the highest bc I myself am in need of adhd meds 🤣#aleks yaps#soccer AU#cherik#I swear I used to be smart guys#also this is obvious imo but ima say it anyway bc I don’t wanna catch hands: Im not saying adhd meds are good or bad with this fic#its just how I think Charles and Erik would align themselves on the issue#/putting that there as a charm to ward off unnecessary tumblr discourse

i watched smile and wrote down my live reaction if anyone cares lol. long story short it was better than i thought it would be, the death/spooky effects were fun but it was kinda heavy handed with the mental health commentary
i went into this thinking it would be funny bad but. goddammit. ok i liked the opening.
the fucking back and forth shots of the main lady and the college girl’s faces, it set me up!!
then when it showed college girl had gotten up. idk man something about how empty and sterile the office is wigged me out even more.
and her cutting her neck was neato
at the title card now and alright goddamn it didn’t have to flash like that yeesh
oh also it sounds like this is just gonna be it follows but with suicide instead of sex
lord they’re trying to do mental health commentary. great.
ugh if i end up liking this movie i’m gonna be embarrassed
that cat’s dead. and nooo i don’t know that because i checked doesthedogdie.com
i was hoping the cat would smile lmao
WAIT THE BOYFRIEND
WHO IS HE
SLKJFLKSDF IT’S A-TRAIN
i’ve decided this takes place in The Boys universe
sorry i got so distracted by a-train that i forgot to say that main lady seeing the dead girl in the dimly lit kitchen did freak me out.
we’re back to the mental health commentary.
why does the cat have such a big fucking bowl
Young cop(?) dude gives me the creeps.
Haha sassy black coworker!! very funny and cool el oh el
ooooo i liked her passing the rooms and having to backtrack
bro is vibing stop snapping
im so sorry but this carl actor has a really silly voice
i feel like this boss also looks familiar
oh he was in designated survivor ok
actually i’ve been kinda constipated so maybe if i watch this on the toilet i’ll shit myself and finally be free
jesus this lady just can’t stop breaking glasses
none of this would’ve happened if you just KEPT YOUR HOUSE WELL LIT
WAIT STOP EVERYTHING
YOUNG COP CREEP IS THE EMO GUY FROM JENNIFER’S BODY
wow what a cast
i sorta missed the whole bit where she listened to the recording and heard stuff, i was unclogging my toilet
main lady and blonde bitch are sisters?? wow that went straight over my head until now. i knew they had to be related in some way? but i kinda thought the husband and the main lady were siblings
dead cat moment
love that they felt the need to clarify it was her cat lmao
when the boy picked it up it looked like really bad cgi
DAMN
TABLE SLAM KO
yeah babe sometimes you just gotta yell it out
SLKDFJLS THE PAIN ASSESSMENT CHART
im sorry… mental health preachy message aside, are you telling me the fiance had to look up the fact that mental illness can be hereditary??
for some reason i feel like the main character’s spiral happened way too fast
but to be fair i guess she does have that trauma with her mom, so maybe even though she works in healthcare she’d still be more susceptible to this line of thinking?
the number of times they say “crazy” in this movie is getting ridiculous
love a good smashed in head, i appreciate they didn’t add a loud noise with it considering the amount of jumpscares in this fucking thing
thank god horrible events always happen to artists so we can have ooky spooky drawings
these “coincidences” are so obviously connected it’s ludicrous that literally nobody noticed until now
I mean cops being inept is nothing new i guess
main character is being? unbelievably unreasonable here?? yes, calling a mental health professional is what you’re SUPPOSED to do when someone around you starts acting like this
i thought one of the whole points of this smile demon thing was that it could look like anyone? they haven’t really been utilizing that as much as i assumed they would which is a bummer
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
loved that moment with the sister at the car
it is kinda neat that the death has to be super dramatic so it inflicts as much trauma as possible
but also couldn’t you just do something traumatic that doesn’t involve murder or suicide?
like pretend you murdered someone or killed yourself in a crazy violent way in front of someone so they believe it happened, orchestrate a big practical joke
the demon voice is goofy
putting a knife that big up your sleeve seems like an atrocious idea
LMAO AWESOME DREAM
it’s like in chainsaw man. the whole door thing with denji. i’m not elaborating bc i don’t wanna spoil anyone.
the mom is kinda hot
lol i like how slowly rose closed the door
ooooooo!!!! suddenly tall mom!!!
i’m a tad disappointed with the monster design :/
HELL YEAH you thought a house fire could kill a demon?? lmaoooo
I TAKE IT BACK THE MONSTER DESIGN LOOKS RAD
rose the throat goat
hell yeah love a good person burning

Chapter 33: Robert*
Robert* reminds me of Peter*, in which, there’s confusion about names, the vibes are never quite right, and the date is pretty short. Though in this case, although we did talk for a longer time than Peter* and I did, the date itself was even shorter, a whopping 45 minutes.
Initially, Robert* likes me first on Hinge. His profile is not necessarily a slam dunk for me. He looks decent looking, though not my usual type, and has a chain bakery listed as to where he works. I like to think I am not a snob when it comes to careers, I’m pretty open-minded, but I do want to be with someone who has ambition and can have intelligent conversations with me since I am pretty well educated. Basically, someone around my level of thinking.
I decided to give the guy a chance and respond to his like by mentioning that I really like cookies at the place he works. He mentions that we could have a first date there and I responded by asking if he has dates with girls at his work often. He tells me he has only been working there a few weeks, so no. We legitimately talk about the different kinds of cookies for a while, then he moves on to ask me about what else I like. I mention my dog, then share that I space out and have trouble thinking on the spot and ask him about himself to see if it will also remind me of other things I like. He talks about seeing friends and playing video games, adds he “Doesn’t get out much.” Without missing a beat, he asks me what I’m looking for on dating apps. The dreaded question. I ask him to tell me first. My reasoning being, I feel like many men will cater their answers to what you want, instead of telling the truth. He writes me a long answer then gives me a TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) that is maybe ⅔ the length of the original message, so not that short, that says “going with the flow, down for a consistent [friends with benefits] or relationship, whatever happens, just not a one-night stand.” He announces it is then my turn to respond. I tell him I feel more or less the same, as his original longer message, but that I am not as much interested in the friends with benefits thing. Specifically, I say that with FWB, there needs to be an opportunity, or “nahhh.” I say that expectations only bring hardship and lightheartedly say I like to ask super important questions early in relationships, i.e. like my survey/application from way back when, and add “like cookie choices.” He asks me to clarify my opportunity or nahhh and says he is an open book and I can ask him anything. I explain my feelings more, saying that I don’t see the point of sticking around if someone is dead set on not wanting a relationship with me, as well as it is usually temporary and almost like a holding pattern. I ask my most important question, which is if someone wants children or not.
I get a slight argument back from him, regarding the FWB thing, saying that it can turn into more. I argue back, saying that it is still something that needs to be wanted, or at least both parties from the start can think “maybe someday.” He says this and that about the FWB, before answering my question. He says, more or less, he is open to it but it isn’t a necessity for him, however, he definitely doesn’t want kids right now. He asks me how I feel about it and I express I do not want them but would be open to adoption. He says that’s fine with him and quickly says, “Any other questions.” I am not meaning for this to be an interview. I say I do have a question, but that it is more of an open-ended/ statement that can be responded to. All I say for my “question” is the phrase “trump.” I also let him know I am going to sleep soon so we can continue our conversation in the morning. He does not like my question, that is that he says it is too vague and isn’t helpful for political discussions. I tell him that is my point, and that I am looking for him to express his feelings and that I can either oppose, agree, or somewhere in between. He says likely there would be all three. I go to sleep so I do not respond.
He greets me in the morning with a good morning. I greet him back, though I remind him I am still waiting on his opinions. It is a Saturday, so I also let him know I am about to present for a Zoom conference. He says he’s at a rowing camp and on a break from that, then asks me about my conference. He again requests that I be more specific than just “Saying one word.” I tell him about the conference, but regarding the political question, I send an eye-rolling emoji again saying that that is the point of the open forum, that I am looking for a blanket statement of his feelings regarding Trump.
He again asks about my presentation, and how it went, then goes on to give a pretty neutral debate, saying there’s good and bad, though it seems he veers more towards being a Trump fan, which is not my preference. Robert* offers to me that I can ask any questions about his stance. I am thinking, I do not need an invitation, I have a question and I will ask it.
Robert* inquires what I am doing the rest of the night. I say I’m staying in as I am going to Disney World the next day. I ask him what he is going to do the rest of the night, as that is the societally polite thing to do. I am asked AGAIN if I have any questions to ask him. He also says that he “wanted to do something with someone tonight. Chill night in maybe? Not necessarily sexual. Just relaxing, drinking some wine maybe.” My response is “haha sorry i don’t think i’ll be ‘someone’ today,” both calling him out on obviously being thirsty, as well and reiterating I am not planning on going out tonight. He admits defeat, saying that he didn’t think I would be either, but it was “worth a shot to ask.” However, he does say he does want to get together sometime.
Immediately before I can even respond to that, though, he asks me where in Disney I am going tomorrow. I tell him that Monday I could look at my schedule and put together a time and day we could meet up. I also express that I do not want to meet him at either of our places, mostly because of the stunt he had just pulled. I tell him my Disney World plans as well. He says that it is fine to talk about going out on Monday and says that “that would’ve been the plan” to not hang out at either of our places, despite what he had just said earlier about having a chill night in. I call him out on this, reminding him that he had just said something different, his response being, “yes, sorry if that made you uncomfortable. Im horny as all hell but my intentions are good and i can keep it in my pants. I promise.” How romantic. I send a laughing emoji and say that we’ve all been there before. He says he didn’t want to cross the “TMI threshold,” wherein I say that it is difficult to TMI me, but that doesn't mean I won’t be judgemental. His next comment is awkward, as he invites me to judge, but says that he’s “done [his] fair share of crazy/dumb/slutty shit. As [he is] sure [I] have too.” Weird to accuse someone you are trying to woo of being a crazy dumb slut, but okay. I bring up that I had an abusive relationship but that even in that, I wasn’t completely devoid of wrongdoing. He asks if I am comfortable talking about that and is sympathetic. I tell him more about that and he asks for some of the red flags my ex but off that I ignored. For the billionth time, Robert* offers that if I have any more important questions that I can go ahead and ask. I briefly acknowledge he asked again, by saying “lol if they come up organically I’ll ask” before continuing to talk about my abusive ex. One of the things I mentioned was that my ex was very critical about my body habitus, that is, that I was too skinny. Robert* takes it upon himself to say, “ as far as your body, it seems like you have a great fucking body…. As long as you’re not unhealthy idgaf im attracted to you sooooo” then sends two heart-eyed emojis and a shrugging guy emoji. The line he draws is that his “hands are rated E for everyone,” the context being, if someone hit him he would hit back. I explained my body issues some more and that I have stomach issues, and have always been a small person. He misunderstands and thinks I’m talking about having abs or having a fatty stomach. With the context I felt I had given, I sent a bunch of question marks before adding that my stomach issues were internal. He apologizes a lot for misunderstanding and says he is glad I’m in a better situation.
In his mind, it’s now a great time to bring up that we should text or snap. I tell him that Snapchat is “for hoes” if you only talk on Snapchat. Referencing to myself Darren* mostly. He sends me his number and then I text him. The next day, I am off having a day with my friend at an amusement park. He texts me often throughout the day and I respond when I have a chance. My best friend is asking me “who is this one?” and by the time she asks this, I’m honestly getting a little annoyed. She’s still asking about John* and where he is at. “I don’t know what’s going on with him. We’re mad at him right now. He is doing that shit again. I have to play the game, you know?” I describe Robert* as being kind of needy. At one point, Robert* is texting and asking desperately when I’m free and when we can go out. I tell him “I’m still out I’m not focused on that right now” The overeagerness is kind of a turn-off. And as mentioned earlier, we had already agreed to plan things out on Monday, and it was Sunday. He responds “Ok nvm. We don’t have to talk about that. Sorry.” Maybe I was harsh but had to put this guy in his place. I get a barrage of questions about Disney World. I mention I’m wearing my hat like a frat boy. He responds jokingly, “disgusting, how dare you.” I continue the charade by saying “yep I haze the shit out of people.” Next, however, his response is too cringey, “Mmmm haze me frat mandy” and adds “I can go more cringe.” I reply, “no thanks.” I ignore him for the rest of the day and then when I get home I finally tell him 1) I’m home and 2) what days I’m available. He gets irritated as the two nights I am available, are the only nights he is working. I have some friends coming into town the next weekend as well, so I tell him I’m not really available since I want to hang out with them. We go back and forth on what to do then with our conflicting schedules. Finally, we agree upon doing something after my work, but before his work on one of the days, giving us a tight segment of time but that should be enough for more or less a meet and greet. Because he is the one that will have somewhere to go, I tell him that he’s in charge of the planning and logistics because I wanted to make sure he had enough time to get to work.
We chat superficially in the meantime, mostly about video games and a little about past relationships. And of course… more inviting me to ask questions again. He puts me on the spot regarding the date and is trying to make me plan. I put the responsibility back on him. Finally, he suggests a place he had been wanting to try, that is more or less like a juice bar that also does protein shakes, kind of a health shop. Not really my kind of place, but I’m making him do all the planning so I won’t argue. We both independently go on a search for menus/information. He makes a comment regarding finding the menu but no prices. He randomly comments while we are chatting about the place “have i ever said that youre really fucking cute,” to which I just respond “not like in those exact words.” He adds “but yea you are. I humbly brag, “thanks! I know this about myself.” Typical male response is, presumably joking, “ok you’re too cocky” “youre ugly” “gotta bring you down a peg.” To this I just say, “it’s called confidence/not being insecure.” He switches things around saying “i know confidence is sexy.”
I don’t respond to this and get a good morning text the next day and he makes small talk about how we slept and such. It is the day that I have a date with Timmy*, but of course Robert* doesn’t know this. He at one point texts me saying that his morning got really shitty. I ask him what’s wrong and all he says is “I’ll tell you about it later.” I wonder why people do this, like why bring it up if you aren’t gonna talk about it now? It all seems like a sort of test. I do not play these games. All I say in response is “ok.” He adds “if I don’t text you about it remind me.” I don’t respond. He texts me again asking how my work is going an hour-ish later. I say it’s hectic and he asks if I’m on lunch. I send him a message about not getting full lunch breaks. I don’t hear from him for almost five hours, and given his text earlier about his bad day, I figured something could be wrong given how clingy via text he usually is. I finally text him and ask if he is ok. He says he took a nap and asked again about work, making a point that it was better than his day. Enough of the baiting, I finally say snarkily, “yeah you still have to tell me [what happened.” He is hyping it up now, saying “fair warning - its sad” I don’t respond because I figure he would still go on and tell me what happens and it didn’t warrant a response, but then he adds “if you still want to know” a few minutes later. I honestly don’t care too much, “if you want to tell me.” He finally does tell me what happened, and essentially he saw a dog be hit by a car and had tried to help it with someone else who saw the hit but the dog, unfortunately, didn’t make it. I commend him on trying to help and he says that he did the right thing and that’s why his day sucked. I don’t really know how to respond to that, plus at this point, I am getting ready for my date.
I lie to him when he asks me about my night, saying that I am chilling. More small talk to my disgust, and I verify our plans for the next day. He makes a comment about not being able to see the prices anywhere. This seems to be a worry of his for whatever reason, so I tell him that we can do something else and that I am flexible. He is of no help, as all he says about this is “idk what else we’d do.” My response is “ok” and I say I’m going to bed. In the morning it is finally the day of our date and I let him know that unfortunately I forgot to bring a change of clothes with me to work, so I’ll be wearing my work outfit tonight. He makes a comment about how he’s never seen a cute girl not look good in scrubs, and I let him know that today is the day that changes.
During the day, he states he is thinking of driving by to check the prices of the drinks and that he’s also got a back up. I tell him he should do whatever he wants. I look the places up and they are about 25 minutes away from my work. I head on that way once my work is done and I arrive first. I wait in my car until he texts me to ask which car is mine. I get out of my car and grab my things, now realizing I parked next to a puddle of water and got my shoes a little wet. I laugh it off and say oh well. I see who I presume to be him getting out of a car on the other side of the parking lot. He’s wearing a light pink hoodie, a little different but hey, real men wear pink, right?
I approach him and say hello and give him a hug. We get our masks on and walk into the store. Immediately we are greeted by who I can only assume is the owner of the shop. He is bright and happy and gives us his spiel about the type of beverages they have there. Robert* is being very quiet and is very short with the worker, saying he doesn’t know what he wants and I should go first. I try to describe what I’m going for, and the worker says the exact thing on the menu I want is unavailable due to a delayed shipment, but suggests something else to me and I accept with recommendation. I am done ordering apparently too quickly, as my date is still undecided. The owner ends up just asking him if he likes snickers, the candy bar, and he gives a not-very-believable “Yeah” so the owner suggests to him a shake that is based on those flavor patterns. Robert* is asked if we’re paying together and I look to him, he lets out an apathetic, “sure” and it takes all of my energy not to scoff. The owner tells us that they’re giving discounts out if you advertise the location by sharing a photo on social media and I agree to do so, because why not.
Then it gets a little uncomfortable. The owner is trying to be extra personable and make it a personalized experience, so upon receiving Robert*’s card, he starts referring to him using his name that is on his card. The only thing is, the name I know him by is not the name on the card, nor any fort of that name, like a typical nickname. Under my face mask, I smile and almost laugh to myself like, you dumb bitch who are you even out with rihgt now. Additional peer pressure from the owner also leads to us giving him our emails and signing up for their loyalty program, which also knocks off some cents off our drink. When I give him mine, obviously everything is the same, but when he gives his email, his email does have the name that I knew him by in the address, so I figure okay maybe Robert* is a middle name or something. Because we were under one order, there was also some sort of combo discount included as well since he got a shake and, I, a tea.
As we walk away from the counter and take a seat on a couch maybe 10 feet away, Robert* abruptly asks “what do you think the damage is?” Immediately pulling out his phone and checking the receipt of our drinks. “Uh I don’t know…. Sixteen dollars,” I guess. I am honestly put off by his obsession on price. I understand money issues, but it is not appropriate for first date behavior. I am pretty close, as it is somewhere in the mid $15 range. He scoffs at the prices.
Now that we are sitting together, I am noticing really how disheveled and not put together he looks. He has overgrown stubble, too short to be a beard, but definitely not stubble from just the day. His skin all over his face and body is dry and flaky, especially on his ears. Again, I expect a little more from a man who has had days to prepare for this date. I have been sipping my drink for a while, and it is honestly delicious, one of the best beverages I’ve ever had. He asks if I would like to try his drink. “No thank you, I don’t think it would go well with my fruity drink,” I half lie. The major reason why is that I am weird about sharing drinks/food and that so far I am almost repulsed by him and don’t want to share anything with him.
Despite my lack of optimism already, I try my best to be upbeat and give him a chance. I am trying to start a conversation and ask him questions and get to know him more, but he is a brick wall. He’s just staring at me and not saying anything, occasionally taking sips from his shake. Many of his responses are very sarcastic and rude. He actually brings up the ears; he had a very bad sunburn and that’s why they looked like that. Doesn’t explain the rest of his look though, but at least he was aware of that. It is pretty warm in the shop. I already opted to leave my jacket in the car, but at one point he decided to take off his sweatshirt. Underneath was a red shirt with almost like a confetti cake type pattern, of little microscopic dots of different colors throughout. I compliment the shirt, and mention I have one of a similar type of fabric pattern. I am nodded at. I again continue to try and force conversation, but I am still getting nothing.
Randomly he says, “come here” and puts his arm around me, pulling me close. I am extremely confused, as I was getting very negative vibes from him all over. I make my confusion known by commenting about how that was out of nowhere. His only response is, “oh you know.” “No, I do not know. I have no idea what is going on right now.” He only just chuckles and is like “you’re a cute girl.” I furrow my brow in confusion and figure we should get some air and suggest we take a walk. I ran to my car and put the drink in my car as well as my bag, being light, only having my phone and car keys for the walk. We take off and just walk through a nearby neighborhood. We have maybe 10-15 more minutes until he has to get going so he can get to work in time.
Conversation is still moderately forced, but a little better. At one point, we come up to a tree where the branches overhang drastically over the sidewalk. Whereas before I had been walking on the street side, Robert* has swung around and walked into the street, whereas I choose just to duck under the branches, which is easier with me being shorter, although I would not say he is very tall either. I made a comment about not caring and that he could have just “pushed me into the street/out of the way” and continued on, jokingly, about how you have to put a woman in their place. He says “okay noted I see what you like now,” trying to turn it into something sexual, it seems. I pause a moment, becoming much more serious when I say, “you know I’m kidding. I’ve told you about my abusive relationship so obviously I am not a fan of battering women.” In this moment, he pulls me into an embrace and tries to kiss me. I lean away and ask him, “why is talking about abusing women the time to try and kiss me?” He makes an excuse saying that he just really wanted to kiss me. I lie again, making another excuse about why I don’t want to kiss him, “I’m more old fashioned I guess, I’d like to get to know someone a little better and make sure that we are compatible and know each other well before I do anything.” Again, not entirely untrue. For the five hundredth or so time, Robert* says that I can ask him any questions.
I check my watch and declare, accurately, “We should probably head back towards our cars, you need to head out soon.” We walk back to the parking lot, having idle chitter chatter. When we get to my car, it’s perfect timing, as an alarm he had set to make sure he left on time goes off. I start to say our goodbyes and he tells me again that he wants to kiss me. I make a noise that makes my discomfort known, and he says, “well what about a kiss on the cheek?” I say verbatim, “I’ll allow it.” He makes a sarcastic comment, mocking me about “allowing it.” I retorted back saying, “well yeah.” He sticks to his word and only does a cheek kiss, and I’m cringing and can’t wait to wash my face when I get home. Being polite, I ask for him to let me know when he gets to work.
Using my Apple Carplay, I ask my car to text him when I notice he is driving behind me. Though, as all I’m getting is audio, I don’t know exactly what I am texting until I get home later.
(the first two texts of mine are my car texting and not manually)
Immediately, he asks me my feelings about him.
I then offered Venmo him money for my drink, as obviously money was a huge concern for him. He accepts and sends me his Venmo. I sent him the money and let him know so.
And that is that. He doesn’t text me after that.

Dude!!! This is my first time sending someone an ask because I tend to feel very shy when it comes to stuff online (which is why I'm sending this anonymously) but I couldn't help myself after reading your pinned post,,, it's so good!!!! Forgive my ramblings and my disorganized ideas, but I'm basically having a mini fan moment because of you!! I was unsure of how to feel about that final choice in chapter two, as both left a bitter taste in my mouth in a completely different manner each. (1)
Anon, thank you so much for all your kind words! It made me really emotional to wake up this morning to such a long letter from you. That’s the nicest thing you could have done. Your message is long, so I’ll try to react to each individual part.
Your post made me reconsider everything. It strengthened some of the way I interpreted some characters, made me see some in a slightly different light, and made me love so many of them so much more!! I didn't even think that was possible!! It might be because I'm currently sleep deprived, but I swear to god your analysis made me emotional and made me feel like crying at some parts. (2/4)
It fills me with so much joy that something I wrote affected you that way! Thank you for letting me know. When I first posted it, I worried that it was too long and unoriginal, so it’s inspiring to hear your encouragement.
You really highlighted the way Sou and Kanna love and care about each other (clarifying that I mean this in a completely platonic manner) and ugh.!! So good. You're just making my resolve of defending Kanna every time someone calls her annoying or weak even grander, she's so young and so strong. You also made Sou's death and everything leading up to it so much more bittersweet to me. The way they actually take something from the other while arguing why they should be the one to die. (3/4)
Yesss! Excellent! More folks in the Kanna Protection Squad!
Haha I also get annoyed whenever I see someone call Kanna a boring character. I think she’s fantastic. Like, I’ve seen “little sibling” and “selfless girl” tropes before, but Kanna is one of the most fun versions I’ve seen. Because she gets to be a henchman! Who doesn’t love a good henchman? Sou and Kanna have got to be the most adorable “villain and henchman” pair I’ve seen in a long time hahaha. You just summed up why I love them so much! The way that Kanna inspires Sou to be a better person, and Sou inspires Kanna to be a stronger person, and they grow to love each other so much that they would each die for the other one... It’s so well done.
(And knowing how Kanna still would have chosen Sara had she been the sacrifice and Sou being painfully aware of that fact and still trying to get her chosen, my heart) The way you presented your arguments and framed the moral implications of how one values a life left me reeling, it felt as if you had dropped a mic or something haha. The separation of the Player and Sara, how the characters in the game perceive their situations differently than us, (this might actually get longer woops)
Aaahhh I think about that every day! How Kanna says straight-up that Sara is the person she most wants to live, but Sou still tries to direct the vote to Kanna, thinking she’s the Sacrifice... And then to see how his plan to save Kanna backfires in the worst way! It’s so thrilling and emotional.
Imagining myself dropping a mic is very amusing lol
how their actions and the reasoning behind them worked (I'd never entertained the thought of that Keiji segment,,). You helped me realize how much more amazing the writing of the game was and I thank you so much for that!!!! I was planning on reading something quick before going to sleep, but now I can't stop thinking about everything and really want to replay the game with this new perspective in mind. (i prewrote all of this in a notepad and still miscalculated lol)
I was speculating a lot with Keiji, so it makes me happy that my section about him resonated with you as well. Keiji is definitely one of the most fascinating characters and he’s a great contrast with Sou. I remember feeling breathless in the scene where Keiji called out Sou for his lies in the beginning of Chapter 3.
All the writing in the game is so good!! If you have more thoughts about it, please share them with me!
I wish I could be more articulate to try and express the way I really love everything you've written. Please keep posting stuff like that (no pressure if you don't want to tho of course)!! In conclusion: omg,,,, your brain 😳😳😳😳 woah it's so sexy,,,, 🥵 I wanna marry it.,,..,.,.. please keep being so sexy and amazing and sexy,,.,. so sorry for the spam btw, feel free to ignore this!! just wanted to let you know I'm your (secret?? haha idk how to describe it) fan, you're great!!!!!!!!
kajgnlakjbgaerg wow hahahahhaa *hides my head under a bucket*
Well it’s nice to be appreciated for my mind!
I happen to be working on another meta! This one is about Kanna’s older sister Kugie, my favorite character whom we never get to meet. I hope it will meet your standards!
Otherwise, please feel free to talk to me! Or? You could ask me questions, and I’ll do my best to answer them here. I’ve only been in this fandom for a few weeks so I’m still looking for people to talk to about this game.
Thanks for making my day, Anon! I hope you have a good day too!

Hi! I have an ask request for you :D I think you did it already, but could you draw a character sheet of your OC? Or well, yourself in the Underground... feel free to add any details, I’m quite curious! Thank you in advance
I. AM. SO. SORRY. You sent this last year and it's just been sitting in my inbox all this time. I'm genuinely so sorry I can't apologise enough and I'm terrible for leaving it this long to answer. I kept forgetting and initially I didn't quite know how to respond.
I don't have a self-insert OC or persona. When I draw me, it's just me. Not very interesting haha. Maybe the cat ears here and there are confusing but to clarify, I only draw those sometimes, or use them in picrews, for the single reason that I feel like it. They're cute, I guess?? Sorry if anyone was confused lol. Even my brother got confused so I don't blame you. But um here, have some miscellaneous doodles of me I only like the last one but I gotta post something :
HOWEVER. I do have an Undertale AU in the works that so far only @dukemz really knows about. EVENTUALLY I'll post a reference sheet for the Frisk of that AT. It's called Sorcerertale and I'm actually really excited about it. If anyone is actually curious, mayybe I will post some very early concept art.

BnHA Chapter 209: Proud Dads, Determined Rivals, and a Prison Interlude
Previously on BnHA: Team BakuJirouSatouSero scored a flawless 4-0 victory against Team TokaBondoAwaKama. Here’s how it went down: (1) Bakugou protected Jirou and everyone watching was like “holy shit did Bakugou just protect Jirou??” and his classmates were like “YES THAT JUST HAPPENED”; (2) Awase welded Bakugou to some columns with his quirk; (3) Satou used his own quirk to smash Bakugou free; (4) Jirou stunned Awase with her quirk and Sero tied him up; (5) Bakugou blasted Bondo and Satou restrained him afterward; (6) everyone watching was like “SO BAKUGOU DOES TEAMWORK NOW?!” and again his classmates were like “YES”; (7) Bakugou flung Kamakiri into a wall, which looked like it hurt, sorry Kamakiri; (8) we learned that Bakugou had given some extra grenades to his teammates and they’d used them to blow up a bunch of Tokage’s amputated body parts, forcing her to regenerate and use up her stamina; and finally, (9) the depleted Tokage flew right into Bakugou and he took her out with a (Point-Blank) Stun Grenade attack. Basically it was just Bakugou is Awesome: The Chapter. If I didn’t know any better I’d think I had fantasized this whole fucking thing you guys. THAT’S MY BOYYYY.
Today on BnHA: Aizawa gives his team a thumbs up and Kaminari is all “WOW KACCHAN YOU REALLY CAN BE NOT-A-JERK IF YOU TRY HUH” and All Might is all “chills, Young Bakugou. LITERAL CHILLS” and that last bit makes Bakugou get all shy and embarrassed and it’s super fucking cute. Then he bumps into Deku and Deku is all “wow that was awesome” and Bakugou is all “you can’t beat me” and Deku is all “nah I can” and it goes on like this for a page and then Bakugou leaves and then All Might is all “I ship it.” Over on class B’s side, Monoma and his team begin to strategize for their upcoming battle. Everyone agrees that their first priority should be to take out Deku because You Just Don’t Fuck With Deku. The 5th set begins, and it’s honestly too many names to squish together, I’m gonna be real with y’all, but anyway so Deku’s side also has Mina, Ochako, and Mineta though. And their plan is to have Deku be a decoy and draw out Team B’s most troublesome members (i.e. Shinsou). As things get started, All Might gets a call from Gran Torino. We then cut to Tartarus of all places, where Prisoner #1541, better known as All for One, is squirming around and making the guards nervous. Turns out AFO is excited because apparently he can “hear his little brother’s voice.” Um. Okay.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my mostly-unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’m caught up with the manga now at chapter 224, so any ETAs will reflect that.)
haHA!
THAT’S HOW WE DOOOOOOOOOO
oh man. that was such a rush. how could anyone possibly not enjoy that. I think even Aizawa was probably pumping his fist a couple of times and then trying to play it off like he didn’t care lol
poor Vlad King
I wonder how this will change people’s strategies going up against Bakugou in the future. the kid whose own classmates once worried that he wouldn’t accept being rescued even when his life was literally on the line just pulled off some of the smoothest fucking teamwork I’ve ever seen. I mean that shit was seamless. and “cooperation” was this kid’s one and only weak stat before; moving forward it’s getting harder and harder to imagine how anyone could possibly beat him
and lest I not give the others the credit they deserve, they were outstanding as well. Satou with the clutch save and then later helping to apprehend Bondo! Sero who made expert use of his quirk to get the others in position and to capture Awase! and then being the one to figure out Tokage’s weakness and exploit it! and last but most definitely not least my girl Jirou, who kept the others advised of class B’s movements throughout and was the one to actually KO Awase before Sero tied him up!
basically they all did so gooood. even Aizawa can’t possibly find anything to chew them out for can he? lol I’m so proud of my babies
HAHA!!
HE GAVE THEM A THUMBS UP! HE’S ALMOST SMILING! OH MY GOD THAT MEANS THEY DID AMAZING. AND HE EVEN FOUND A WAY TO WORK IN SOME EXTRA COMPLIMENTS FOR PROBLEM CHILD #2 OVER THERE. AWW
meanwhile poor Vlad can’t find much to say either because let’s be real there’s no way his kids were ever gonna win that one
“based on past data” wow you guys I wonder if I’m ever going to stop being over the moon about this lol
but I mean, that’s exactly why I’m so psyched! it’s that slow burn character development! this was done so, so painstakingly, and little by little all the groundwork was put in until we finally reached the payoff. and that’s why it’s so satisfying. it’s because this is the side of Bakugou that I’ve been waiting for from the very start. this is him finally achieving the potential he has always had. it took so much patience and it was so, so worth it. so yeah. fuck it. I’m gonna keep being giddy about it
poor Tokage is apologizing to her teammates and she looks really worn out and I feel bad :( poor girl
but Awase is all “if someone with moves like his turns into a ‘goody two-shoes’, they have no holes to exploit” and oh my god lol. that’s what I’m saying, though. lol everyone is so fucked now :DDDD “well fuck us, if Bakugou’s not even going to be an asshole anymore then we might as well roll over and die now”
OH MY GOD
NEW FAVORITE PANEL ALERT
LET’S ANALYZE EVERYTHING!!! LET’S FUCKING DO IT!!
“KACCHAN” IS ALIVE AND WELL, I SEE!
BUT RIGHT AWAY HE COMPLIMENTS JIROU AS WELL BECAUSE KAMINARI IS HERE DOING HIS PART IN THIS THE YEAR TWENTY BI-TEEN
WELL DUH, SHE’S A HERO KAMINARI!!!
“A DELINQUENT PICKING UP A BUNCH OF STRAY CATS” SDFLAKSDFKJL WHAT AN AMAZING SIMILE. SERO YOU CAN COME SIT BY ME
and last but not least, there isn’t so much as a blink in regards to the “Kacchan.” this seriously is going to be his new hero name. this has gone from “I sure would love it if...” to “I’m actually starting to become increasingly sure of this” to “I would put solid money on it and would be amazed at this point if it doesn’t end up happening.” honestly I just want it to happen already lol
(ETA: yeah I might lose that bet lol. I still would love this because Parallels, but those Ground Zero feels from 223 have me rethinking my entire life ngl. btw that turned out to be “ground zero” spelled out in katakana though, not 爆心地/bakushinchi, so who knows. still kinda up in the air here.)
-- oh my fucking god you guys!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ;______;
let’s analyze everything again omgggggg
look at Kacchan’s face. look at how he’s ignoring the others behind him entirely. his focus is entirely on All Might here. just waiting for his response. trying his best not to show how important it actually is to him
and All Might’s exceedingly proud face, and that praise. “CHILLS, YOUNG BAKUGOU. YOU GAVE ME FUCKING CHILLS” lmaoooo
AND THEN KACCHAN’S ULTIMATE TSUNDERE RESPONSE!!!
HE HAD TO TURN AWAY IMMEDIATELY SO THAT ALL MIGHT WOULDN’T SEE IF HE BLEW IT AND FUCKING BLUSHED OR SOMETHING
THE LEFT HAND MOVING UP TO HIS EAR! you’re telling me this kid, Bakugou fucking Katsuki, THE COCKIEST BOY WHO EVER LIVED, actually felt self-conscious to the point where he had to turn away and was all “whatever it’s not a big deal” and rubbing at his ear and avoiding eye contact with fucking everyone because he was so fucking happy that he made All Might proud, and no one can ever know!!!! QUICK, SAY SOMETHING COOL! “...YOU PROBABLY JUST CAUGHT A COLD OR SOMETHING.” NAILED IT!! SO SMOOTH KACCHAN
oh my god you guys this moment is seriously everything to me though. I’m so fucking happy for him. and he is so fucking cute jesus christ I want to pinch his adorable embarrassed cheeks ffff
OH HELLO
“REFLEX” I LOVE THAT THEY HAD TO CLARIFY IT. BECAUSE HE’S NOT THAT MEAN ANYMORE AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW
but he was so wrapped up in the praise he just got from his hero that when Deku startled him he got so flustered and he just automatically slipped back into what he knows. “nuuu leave me aloneeee.” HE’S NOT EVEN IN YOUR WAY THOUGH
SDFLKASHLDKFJ
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, BNHA FUCKING DARES YOU NOT TO SHIP THESE IDIOTS. YEAH GO ON. JUST TRY IT
DSKAFDSHLFKHAWOIFHWOKFHSLK
lol unlike with All Might, Kacchan knows exactly how to respond to Deku’s praise by this point
but they’ve seriously come such a long way as well. look at how Katsuki’s response acknowledges Deku’s strength even as he keeps the rivalry alive and well. “you’ll never be able to catch up.” acknowledging Deku as the threat he is, the one who pushes him to keep improving
and then Deku’s confident response, slipping right into a rapport with him. no stammering or hesitation. just his own cocky little grin. he’s fucking living for this. being rivals with Kacchan! don’t mind him it’s just everything he ever wanted that’s all
lol so now Katsuki’s telling him to shut up and that he’ll never be able to surpass him!
and Deku’s all
I stan two (2) idiot rivalboys who are just starting to heal their relationship after so long and let me tell you guys it is an absolute and utter pleasure to see it go down and I am here for it and will be here for it as it continues to progress and as Katsuki continues to learn how to be Less Of A Jerk and make amends for his Past Bullshit and the two of them continue to establish this rivalry and then start to take their next steps toward the final stage, the endgame if you will, which is being partners who actually trust one another. oh my god. and I can’t fucking believe we’re finally within sight of that now though and oh my fucking god you guys
what are you thinking All Miiiiiiiight. I just explained to you all of my ten zillion thoughts on this so now you give me one of yours!
asldfkjalsfdjoi
OH SO YOU WERE SHIPPING THEM TOO HUH
ffffffff I’m telling you, every time he looks at the two of them together he sees their future selves, working together and trusting one another and relying on one another and together being the greatest heroes the world has ever known. All Might is the original BakuDeku shipper. he loves them so much and he’s so proud of them
and look at the word he uses there. friend. once again seeing through all of their fronting and other nonsense to the core of what they really are. and “friend” is not a word you could use to describe what Katsuki is to Izuku until very recently, but he’s absolutely right. we saw that earlier today when Katsuki saw them talking and came over and asked if anything had happened with OFA and then listened and reassured Izuku. that wasn’t rivalry, there -- that was care and concern (very brusquely offered but still). we are officially entering a whole new stage of this thing you guys, and fucking bring it on
also Deku’s face though. like, he was trying to keep that Rival Smirk in place, but look at the Actual Grin fighting to work its way out and him being so excited because it’s Kacchan and it’s what he’s wanted for so long ffff
ANYWAY. so we’re finally going to move on from the BakuDeku part of this chapter now though so say farewell
(ETA: oh my god this one section of this recap analyzing three fucking pages was longer than some of my other recaps in their entirety. sorry, guys; I see a pair of rivals and I lose all self control.)
All Might is adding “other than that potty mouth of his” which is Classic All Might, and meanwhile Shinsou is watching the two of them (All Might and Deku) with an indecipherable expression, oh my
anyway so now we turn to our other resident cocky blond
“not half bad” from Monoma in reference to Katsuki is like a fucking Michelin star holy shit
now Tokage is coming up to him dejected and apologizing and saying that it’s mathematically impossible for class B to win now
well that is true but they can still tie though. honestly I have no idea how this last fight will go now
wow Monoma
that accelerated from insightful to pompous so quickly I don’t think anyone even had time to strap themselves in
“everyone is a supporting character in someone else’s life, and the main character in their own” fucking what lmao
I mean, he’s not wrong though. unless you’re Deku. then you’re just The Main Character. surprise! a good way to tell if you’re actually the main character in everyone’s lives and not just your own is if you get attacked by villains in every single arc btw
so Kakashi Girl is asking what is Monoma’s plan anyway
did they not come up with one yet?? they had all that time! the most time out of anyone!
Shouda says they should adapt a strategy similar to Tokage’s team
sure, if you also want to get beat 4-0 in a record five minutes
so he says they should stick together and keep themselves concealed and that there are no merits in challenging the other team to hand-to-hand combat
whatever you say. I only know two of you guys’ quirks here. I personally would be looking to take advantage of the Monoma-borrows-Shinsou’s-quirk strategy to take them by surprise, which is only going to work once but damned if it won’t be really fun to watch though
absolutely. he’s the Bakugou of their team, for sure. but if you thought Kacchan’s team had good teamwork, you ain’t seen nothing yet though
and also don’t forget that my girl Uraraka “gon’ fuck your shit UP” Ochako is also on this team! anyone wants to underestimate her, it’s at their own risk
apparently class B has been doing their research and keeping up with the times, because they’re aware that Deku’s style has come a long long way from the days of the sports festival. they even know about his new long-distance attacks! wow
also they describe him as “Bakugou’s equal or maybe even greater” in terms of both mobility and power, which is excellent. this series keeps giving me what I want
so Shinsou agrees that they need to take out Deku first “no matter the cost.” but he’s bringing up the fact that Deku is able to escape from his brainwashing
oooooh
ehhhh but I kinda feel like that’s a waste of the potential that Monoma-with-Shinsou’s-quirk has, and I don’t get how doubling down would do anything other than just make things more complicated. and also, won’t Deku’s team be on the lookout for Shinsou’s quirk now? idk just seems like a lot of things that could go wrong here. this fight is going to be so interesting
Monoma looks thoughtful and says that it’s possible “things won’t go as planned for me either”
but he says that either way they need to stop Deku from roaming free or they have no chance. “I’m counting on you, Shinsou”
so now the teachers are gathered and saying that this is the last round, which we already know. “I wonder how Shinsou will fare?”
I know Aizawa is actually way more invested in this than he’s letting on, so I’m officially rooting for class B here despite my best boy and best girl Izuku and Ochako being on the class A team. sorry guys. but I just want your new brother to do well so he can be accepted into your class and get to be your brother full time!
I highly doubt that they will! so now we’ll see whether or not he can adapt!
oh shit I forgot Mineta was on this team. hey team B I’m giving you guys a freebie. you can just come pick him up now
anyway so on their side they are of course worried the most about Shinsou. though Ochako’s reminding them that they should be worried about everyone!
lol that started out as what seemed to be a pep talk, but then turned into more of a “there’s actually way more ways we could lose than just that!” type of thing lmao
and what is this now
did you guys spend all your time practicing this instead of coming up with some actual strategies. we fucking know what you can do you boobs
lmaoooooo
what are you talking about!? honestly you could probably combine your quirks and still pull out a win even without Deku if you tried. Mina what happened to all that creativity you were overflowing with during the Band AU arc??
(ETA: thankfully she’s still got it! lol watch your back Mineta)
and anyway, since you do have Deku though, this team is basically Bakugou’s Team 2.0. the possibilities are endless! you guys are so fucking versatile! stop getting down on yourselves! where is the leadership?? the last group only just showed everyone how much of a difference that shit makes. Deku where are you
oh there you are
would that really work? I know if it was me on team B and I saw Deku off on his own I’d be like “okay great, let’s stay as far the fuck away from him as possible and go after the others while they’re undefended”
oh apparently he told them all about his weird quirk mishap earlier because Mina’s asking him how he’s doing now
but he says he’s feeling fine, same as always
and he thinks that after watching the 4th set, they’ll be on their guard against him though. yeah exactly
Mineta’s asking if he’s going to be all right because they’re relying on him
oh y’all know I’m living for this calm heroic confidence
this right here. is exactly the type of hero I want Deku to be. oh my god I’m so fucking proud of my boys in this arc, though
SHUT UP MINETA
STEADFAST DEKU IS THE BEST DEKU. GO GET YOURSELF CAPTURED BY SHINSOU ALREADY IF YOU’RE GONNA BE LIKE THAT
so now Deku’s flexing his hand and he says nothing feels off
sdlfkhalsdkflj
“after he lit a fire under me like that” oh my god. and this is why their rivalry is my favorite fucking part of the series. just look at how they push each other. Kacchan just gave the performance of a lifetime after reluctantly learning the true meaning of Christmas from the boy he formerly thought of as a pebble in his shoe. and now Deku is here calmly telling everyone they’re definitely going to win, and thinking determined thoughts after getting all fired up after that talk with his best friend. CAN I CALL THEM THAT YET? NO? I’M BEING TOLD I JUMPED THE GUN EXTREMELY BY A WHOLE LOT? ARE YOU SURE? OKAY SORRY I JUST GOT EXCITED MY BAD. BUT GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE TIME THOUGH?
anyways so Vlad is all “BEGIN!” and there are two big panels of the teams getting all set to go!
oh shit and now All Might’s phone is ringing unexpectedly
lol @ Midnight telling him to shut that thing off. All Might that’s so rude
oh shit it’s Gran! that was fast. oh my god now they can talk about Deku’s weird quirk bullshit yessssssssss
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ISN’T THIS TARTARUS?!?!
ASDFKLHLKJL
jesus christ. if you have upwards of 1500 extremely dangerous high security prisoners, then maybe just maybe you might want to go ahead and refer to them by their fucking names just for simplicity’s sake. “which one is 1541 again?” like is it good or bad that he moved? these are circumstances where even a split second of having to go through your mental filing system to recall who’s who might end up being disastrous if things go wrong
anyways don’t mind me, just nitpicking really stupid things instead of getting on with the story. okay so who is that. is it AFO??
so the guard is mumbling that it would be nice if they could hurry up with “the decision and execution” of 1541’s sentence. “at this rate we won’t be able to last”
wow. so it must be AFO, right? if they’re just letting him move around all the time, they really are screwed. what, were those gun turrets just for show? he’ll be out of there in a blink of an eye once he finally feels like it
and now we’re cutting to the cells and I’m preeeeetty sure this is AFO talking with Stain here
Chaplin sounds like some redpill prick if you ask me
also I’m not quite sure but did they just confirm that Chaplin is Gigantomachia’s true identity?
I just went and checked JBox’s translation and they made it seem like Giganto is Chaplin’s subordinate. which can’t be right because we know he’s AFO’s. serves me right for trying to verify something with JBox. I’ll just check Caleb Cook’s twitter after this and see what his thoughts are
-- wait hold up. now it looks like the guards talking. maybe JBox was right after all
(ETA: okay I wasn’t able to check Viz’s version to verify, but I think this is actually the guards talking and the correct translation should be “he’s his direct subordinate,” with him being All for One. the original Japanese line was “直系の部下だ” which basically means “he is [their] direct subordinate” without actually clarifying whose subordinate they are, so it’s a bit confusing when you don’t know who’s talking. anyways!!)
anyway so they’re saying that AFO has tons of other followers still in hiding and that it’s not just the league. and that they have to be careful not to provoke them
eh, I’d say it’s worth the risk. these other villains ain’t shit compared to AFO and we all know it. but if you leave him alive, and he gets out and regains his strength and retakes his place at the head of them all, then we’re talking about an all-out war potentially
which is actually where I’m thinking the series might be headed though. at least for the final arc. so I guess we’ll see
um whoa
seriously?? you too?? oh shit what the hell is even going on
anyways so that’s the end. oh my god. the series is getting so good again. it’s actually been really good since the Endeavorhawks arc honestly. like we’re almost back at full steam again. big things are coming, we’re heading toward another huge arc, I can feel it, and I can’t wait

Okay, I actually have some sleep in me to reply! But not the will to scroll 80 years to do it in the post
@dorks-in-fiction @ribbonreverse
dorks-in-fiction said: Well almost everyone truly *does* feel anxious at some point. So someone who doesn’t have a big anxiety problem saying “I’m anxious” or “I have anxiety about this” is legit. It’s not like they get a little nervous about smth and say “haha my GAD is kicking in!” Compare that to “oops sorry I got distracted! Haha I’m soooo ADHD” or “I’m a little OCD bc I like my things to be nice and neat :3” in which the conditions are treated like quirks instead of being taken seriously I guess to me, people can say ‘I’m anxious’ or ‘I’m depressed’ without having those things because it’s kind of like having two words with two diff meaning
I don’t get why it isn’t treated as a separate word when people use it in that way, since even without it having a diff form, there’s a distinction in usage??
(unrelated but) Heck people can even say they have agoraphobia and not really and it wouldn’t bother me, personally
ribbonreverse said: for me, i think it’s usually that folks use “oh lol i’m so ocd” in ways that misrepresent the severity or nature of the symptoms. this makes it harder for nt folks to understand because “why are you obsessing over whether taking extra free sugar packets is theft, what do you mean it’s ocd?? this has nothing to do with hand-washing or counting things?” plus it’s kind of making light of a serious health issue ribbonreverse said: ** of what can be a serious health issue for some folks (i accidentally hit reply before i was done editing lol)
Oh, is your moral difficulty you mentioned connected to ocd? Breh, that sucks man
I feel like, people always misunderstand most mental illness until researching more, since it comes from just ignorance.
Such that, when I was young, I did relate ocd to just handwashing etc, since that’s the only context I heard of it in, but I also related agoraphobia to only fear of leaving the house, as depression as only feeling sad, and so on
some of these were used inaccurately in hyperbole to confirm these thoughts, and others weren’t, it was simply my ignorance that made me simplify the conditions in my mind. now that I know more about them, it isn’t lessened by being around the secondary usage of those words
When speaking to a coworker they mentioned
‘I’m very ocd’ on organization (they’re so hardcore about it, very impressive person), and I said
‘I’m not ocd, I’m just anal’ (since I’m very messy but get Zoned in at work)
Using the secondary meaning didn’t take away from my knowledge of the mental illness, though it wasn’t being used to educate others either
I think, these words being used as a secondary meaning, if that was taken away, wouldn’t do much to lessen misunderstandings unless you also started teaching people, or speaking of the less commonly understood factors of the illnesses to a wide audience, is what I’m meaning there
All the detective shows and medical shows (fiction or otherwise) that I saw as a kid did nothing to help, because when they spoke of the Actual Illness, they portrayed it as the stereotype, which had the worse effect than people who I knew full well did not have the illness (because they obviously also knew they didn’t have it) using the term to be hyperbolic
Which even in my ignorance, I did understand that having these illnesses would be a very Extreme, Life Altering thing. Even if I thought it was just clean obsession, I did at least understand it’d be miserable and require a lot of a persons time to keep up with, that they were Compelled to, and didn’t have an easy time not giving in
So indeed, the terms being used these ways, even back then, registered to me as hyperbole, and didn’t confuse me on meanings the same way the portrayals of people with these conditions did
That got long, aha, sorry, I am not good at concise, only Exact
But those are the gist of my thoughts as to why I don’t feel bothered. I just kind of view it like slang or hyperbole
Which I understand will be very subjective regardless, as I get hurt over people saying stuff that nobody else gets hurt over
I just like to consider the logic on this stuff, to better understand peoples positions and so on
I need to clarify my motivations of this discussion, or I might be perceived ieved as cold hearted keh
#Vio Speaks#Sorry I ramble#but it was engaging for me to write for Some Reason fjdjdke so I was enjoying it#I guess it’s been a long time since I have been able to put together such a thing for discussion

Make Your Mark, 9/10
Series: Undertale, Horrortale Relationship(s): HT!Sans/Reader Chapter Warnings: none
AO3 Link
In a world where soulmates exist, monsters and humans have one thing in common: the first time two soulmates touch, a mark randomly appears somewhere–anywhere– on their bodies to represent their match.
It still doesn’t make relationships easier…but maybe it does make them a little more interesting!
You met him online.
It wasn’t under the most favorable circumstances, all things considered—he beat you in a bidding war for a really uniquely shaped hunk of coquina jasper at the very last minute and you spent probably a solid few hours cursing his username in your head no matter how cool it was.
Naturally, you were pretty surprised when he messaged you through the site the next morning.
geode-dude: hey, sorry about the coquina, kinda stole that from under you, didn’t i?
As much as it had galled you, you had to reply…
xXgoblincoreXx: Oh, don’t worry about it, you won fair and square! That’s how these things go, no hard feelings.
geode-dude: mm, still didn’t feel too gneiss of me, no matter how good a shale it was
……Pfft.
xXgoblincoreXx: Haha, not to quarry, dude, I’ll get over it, enjoy your spoils. Just don’t take it for granite, alright?
geode-dude: lol i like your style
geode-dude: think you’d be up for a consolation prize? sure there’s something around here i can part with to send you. might make me feel like less of a jerk for doing you dirty like that
It was…an unusual request to be sure.
The guy was well within his rights to have screwed you bought the stone for himself and he not only apologized, but was actually offering to send you something else? For free?
It occurred to you to be wary, but you had a PO Box for this kind of thing��too many doorstep package thieves who assumed ‘heavy’ meant ‘valuable’ instead of ‘ten bismuth geodes that you never saw and didn’t get a refund for and were definitely not still salty about’—so you didn’t see the harm in seeing where this went.
xXgoblincoreXx: I’m not one to turn down free shinies, if it’ll really make you feel better. You don’t have to, though, no pressure! ;)
geode-dude: think i will anyway, thanks for being so coal about this
You laughed and sent over your PO Box address and then promptly forgot about the whole thing, not quite expecting the guy to follow through. He was probably more after an excuse to try out those sweet rock puns on somebody and you were happy to be the audience.
At least it had put a smile on your face!
You imagine that expression was nothing compared to the awestruck one you wore when you picked up an unexpected package a couple days later and opened it to the most incredible-looking rock you’d ever seen in your life.
xXgoblincoreXx: Dude, did you send this?!
geode-dude: oh you got it, cool
xXgoblincoreXx: Yeah, what is it? I’ve never seen anything like this before!
Even as you frantically typed, the fuchsia crystal sat beside you, innocently illuminating your room with its warm, fluctuating glow.
geode-dude: don’t think it has an official classification, it’s mostly magic, but we call ‘em lantern rocks. they’re everywhere Underground.
Only one kind of person capitalized ‘underground’ that way and had free access to what was down there.
Your punning, rock-loving pal here was a monster.
You were fascinated—there were no monsters where you lived, their population was still small after everything and hardly any had branched out from Ebott, even though it’d been a few years since they surfaced—and you can’t quite restrain the burst of curiosity this revelation sparks.
You…probably embarrassed yourself a little, to be honest… but all of your eager questions about what other magic stones and crystals he had or could tell you about were met with good-natured amusement.
Good-natured amusement and surprisingly detailed, informative answers, the kind that turned out to be better suited to actual phone texting than a limited bidding site’s chat feature.
‘geode-dude,’ or Sans as you eventually found out, had a pretty extensive geological background and seemed happy to answer anything and everything you threw at him. The only real drawback was the unstoppable slew of puns that came with those answers, but… to a person like you, the puns were less of a bug and more of a feature.
In addition to being a funny guy with a varied rock collection, Sans has a horrifically messy room, a self-sustaining tornado of trash in it, and a younger brother named Papyrus.
He’s also a skeleton, which he didn’t exactly tell you, but he sent you an awful lot of puns about bones and once—when you’d insisted he prove he wasn’t catfishing you—a video of Papyrus balancing a seashell on his head, since that was too weirdly specific to fake.
The guy in the video was definitely a skeleton and he definitely had a seashell atop his skull, effortlessly keeping it there even as he proclaimed to the camera, “Well, Sans’ Pen-Pal, I Have No Idea Why You Want This, But I’m So Stunned That Sans Is Actually Making Friends That I’m Not Going To Question It Very Hard—So Behold! My Impeccable Balancing Skills!”
After that, you wholeheartedly agreed with Sans’ assessment of his brother’s coolness levels: clearly off the charts.
For several long, albeit fun months of chatting and memes and pictures of rocks, though, that’s all you really know about your apparently-a-skeleton friend.
He’s never sent a picture or video of himself, and he’s flatly turned down anything resembling a phone call.
It doesn’t bother you too much. Some people are just private that way, and that’s okay!
You figure you’ll see him when you see him, and that’s just fine by you.
-
You get the text early in the morning—which you’ve gathered is approximately the witching hours over in Ebott.
geode-dude: hey
geode-dude: i’m trying to be a little boulder so i’m kinda petrified here but
geode-dude: do you want to come visit for the festival?
The Freedom Festival—held to commemorate the anniversary of monsters’ escape from the Underground and reunification with the surface world.
Being held in Ebott, next weekend.
You don’t have to think about your answer for more than a minute.
xXgoblincoreXx: Sounds rockin’, I’d love to! :D
-
Ebott isn’t quite as far away as you’d thought.
It’s a few hours on a train and then you’re there, wandering around in search of the skeleton you’d been promised to pick you up.
You’re expecting Papyrus, taller than tall and decently loud, presumably very easy to spot in a crowd.
But he’s not the skeleton you see.
His brother is stupidly tall, but even slouching, Sans is a pretty big guy himself. Dressed in a well-worn blue hoodie, some basketball shorts and the cutest pair of hot-dog-shaped slippers you’ve ever seen, the big skeleton leaning up against the wall is hard to miss.
…And so is the massive gaping hole in his skull, black as pitch above the giant red light darting nervously around in his socket.
It’s…
Not that much of a surprise, honestly.
You understand a lot of monsters suffered permanent injuries in the living hell they crawled out of and while grisly, it’s really nothing worse than what your imagination’s cooked up for you over the past few weeks—reasons ranging from the embarrassing to the outright horrific that Sans had been hiding his face from you.
In comparison to that, a bit of jagged bone is nothing to bat an eye at.
You head right on over to say hello.
Sans stiffens a little as you approach and somehow a bead of sweat seems to appear on his skull. He asks your name in a surprisingly soft voice and you nod.
“Yep, in the flesh,” you chirp. “Which I guess makes you Sans the flesh, right?”
It seems to take him a second to process what you said…but then his shoulders start to shake with laughter.
“good one,” he chuckles. “here five seconds an’ you’re already tryin’ to steal my thunder…?”
“Just trying to make a good first impression,” you joke with a shrug. “I have a feeling I’m not gonna get more than a couple over on you, Mister Funnybones.”
Sans is just a pinch slower in person—or maybe his puns just seem to come across a little snappier with a screen between you—but the moment or two you have to wait is more than worth it.
With a screen and miles of distance separating you, you’ve never had the pleasure of watching Sans’ skull go a dusty shade of blue, or hearing a downright bashful laugh escape him.
“eheheheheh, you, uh…ya’ might be surprised…”
You already are.
You came down here to meet a friend and spend some time with him.
You weren’t expecting him to be this cute, or to feel a spark towards something beyond simple friendship already, within mere minutes of talking to the guy.
“…This is going to be an exciting weekend,” you decide with a smile.
Sans grins back. “yeah? ya’ feel it in your bones?”
You laugh and your duffel bag slides down off your shoulder.
Luckily enough, you have pretty quick reflexes…and apparently, so does Sans.
For all you’d have expected a slow reaction, he reaches out lightning-quick and catches your bag before it can hit the ground—at the same time you catch it.
You touch.
Forming soulmarks don’t cause a physical sensation.
They don’t, it’s been studied: no one, not even monsters, the most soul-attuned sentient species on the planet can conclusively feel a soulmate match being made or say where the mark is forming with any degree of accuracy. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong, reacting psychosomatically at best.
And yet, you swear your skin is tingling all over from that one little brush of skin against bone.
Sans is…… you think Sans is your soulm—
You jump a little as suddenly, Sans has your entire hand in his grasp.
“hey,” he says, and through the very nice sensation of the warm, rough bones of his hand wrapping around yours, you notice that his grin is a little tight. “can we…not…?”
You blink at him, not understanding. “N…not?”
“the…the whole…soulmates thing,” he unhelpfully clarifies. “we don’t have to…look, y’know?”
………Ouch?
“Uh… I… I mean, I…guess?” you try. “If that’s…”
Sans looks pretty damn relieved and that’s yet another thing you hadn’t planned for. The ‘spark’ you’d felt must not have been very mutual if your pen-pal didn’t even want to know if you were soulmates, and that was…
Well, ouch.
“cool,” says Sans, “cool, it’s just…you’re… it’s… you’re here the whole weekend, it’d be……… no need to, uh, ruin the trip…right? it’ll… if we are,it’s…it ain’t like it’d be goin’ anywhere.”
………
Wait.
You almost actually, physically facepalm at the dramatic direction of your thoughts as reason finally occurs to you.
It would be insanely awkward to get all excited about a soulmark…and then risk not finding one immediately before having to spend a whole weekend with somebody—especially since Sans and his brother had so graciously offered to host you while you were visiting.
You think you feel equal parts silly and relieved.
“Yeah,” you agree, much more easily this time, “you’re right! We can…check that out later. For now, you just focus on showing your pal a fun Freedom Fest!”
Sans smiles, passing your bag back to you.
“that’s the plan,” he says and as he starts to amble off, you happily follow. “c’mon, let’s get ya’ settled in first.”
-
You last about two hours.
After arriving at the brothers’ house, meeting Papyrus, and enjoying some delicious (homegrown!!!) cucumber sandwiches for lunch, you’re shown to the guest bedroom and then the bathroom.
“This Is More Sans’ Hostly Duty Than Mine, But Quite Frankly,” Papyrus confided in you, “I’m Not Certain Sans Remembers We Have A Shower. But! You Seem Like A Fine, Upstanding Human With Standards And I’m Sure You’d Appreciate Knowing Where To Find It In Case You’d Like To Freshen Up Before The Opening Ceremony And Fireworks Tonight!”
That had sounded perfect to you, so you’d stripped down for a quick shower to rinse all the miscellaneous travel funk off and…
Well, there it had been.
You manage to contain yourself long enough to actually get clean and then you dry off, grabbing your phone to snap a…very carefully cropped photo of your inner thigh.
At first, you figure it’s just for you, because Sans had said…
But the longer you look at it, the less restraint you have and it really, really, really feels like Sans should get to see this.
You could easily go down the hall and knock on his door to show him, but you’ve been texting buddies for months.
It feels like the most natural thing in the world to pull up your chat and send the picture.
xXgoblincoreXx: [IMG-96]
xXgoblincoreXx: I looked, sorry…
And after a moment of thought:
xXgoblincoreXx: No regrets, though. :)
The dark, rough oyster shell on your thigh, just barely cracking open to reveal a pretty little pearl hiding inside…
It just gives you a really good feeling about your relationship with Sans, and you don’t know how to regret that.
You watch your phone, nervously awaiting a text that…never comes.
Because suddenly, from behind you, you hear, “i looked, too.”
You jump, whirling around to find Sans looming over you. You hadn’t even heard him come in and you marvel that such a big skeleton could move so silently, but that quickly falls by the wayside.
Sans is fiddling with the sleeve of his hoodie, blushing again, but at your encouraging, curious smile, he shoves it back and lets you see.
“guessin’…guessin’ it’s a human thing,” he says, “‘cause i got no idea what it means. google ain’t helpin’ either, heheh…”
You don’t imagine it would—without already knowing the name of it or at least its context, it would probably be a little difficult to just stumble across a Rod of Asclepius.
You reach out and gently grab hold of Sans’ ulna, tracing the line of the rod all the way up to the thick cluster of his carpals where the head of the snake had settled.
He must be able to read some of the emotion on your face because after a moment, he tentatively speaks.
“s’it good?” he asks. “ya’ look like… seems like it’s…something good…yeah?”
It is so good.
You actually think you’re genuinely honored to have caused a mark like this because if there’s anybody out there who deserves to heal from everything they’ve been through, it’s a monster.
It’s Sans, your friend.
…But you don’t think you know him well enough yet to be able to say that out loud.
Instead you put a teasing smirk on your face and shrug.
“I’ll tell you later,” you say, letting go of his hand and heading out of the guest room. “Isn’t the fest starting soon? We should probably get going.”
There’s a pause…but then, Sans is hot on your heels.
“c’mon,” he pesters, “you know, just tell me.”
“I don’t recall,” you tell him. “I think you’re gonna have to refresh my memory somehow…”
“…you’re…ya’ want a bribe?”
“Sans!” you gasp. “I’m hurt! We’re friends, aren’t we? I thought you knew me better than that.”
Sans does know you better.
He quickly realizes, “ya’ want bribes.”
You elect not to respond.
“………eheheheheheheh, oh stars…”
You turn and Sans’ red eye-light is glowing brightly with mirth.
He looks like he’s having fun.
He looks happy.
“alright, twist my arm,” he mutters, shoving his sleeve back down. “you’ll get your bribes, but m’pretty sure i already know what it means, now.”
“Do you?”
“yeah—you’re a snake.”
You laugh.
“Oh, don’t get all hissy, I’ll tell you! You just might have to buy me one of those Spider Ciders I’ve heard so much about before I can remember properly.”
“an’ a funnel cake, too, i guess.” In spite of Sans’ put-upon tone, he looks just as amused as you are. “some popcorn. maybe a nice cream or two?”
“Now you’re getting it!”
You shoot Sans a wink and he snickers, shaking his head but hardly protesting your demands.
Depending on how the night goes…you think you might even be able to finagle a smooch onto the list.
The idea of getting to plant a kiss on this skeleton under the fireworks is very, very appealing.
You guess you’ll find out what fate has in store.

So I was just curious, most people didn't like Hyun, he's my personal favorite but just wanted to know what about him caught your attention even with all the hate towards him?
oh my god where do i start…
first of all everyone’s point was that they found him boring/annoying. AND HONESTLY I AGREE HE WAS PRESENTED IN A VERY ANNOYING AND FORCEFUL WAY IN THE FIRST FEW EPISODES so that can be a turn off for people who weren’t planning to be on his route in the first place.
i however planned to go for him from the beginning so it was a positive experience. and i believe that seeing him on his actual route rather than as an outsider, doing another route, does make a difference, you get to see his personality in more depth and his little actions that are just heartwarming. like when he kisses candy’s forehead because she bumped her head on the snake room’s door (looool) or when after he clarifies his worry for candy that sparked up rumours about her and rayan, he immediately loosens the atmosphere by making a joke.
basically i love his personality and don’t see him problematic at all, at least, not by his own will as a character.
but if we’re asking why i ended up doing his route in the first place that’s a different story haha
originally i made a new account for UL because i wanted a candy that had no boyfriend in HSL (to make the experience less painful and complicated loool), and i also do not have any MCL accounts where i’ve completed the HSL routes till episode 40, so claiming that she had said LI as her boyfriend when i didn’t really take her through the route and experience just felt wrong to me lol
now how that links to me picking him is that in my head, my candy just never had any serious relationships, so i felt that suddenly making one of her high school friends be it wasn’t ideal, and rayan’s situation felt too extreme for me (for a first serious relationship to be as complicated as that). honestly i’m partly making excuses right now because i was attracted to/intrigued by hyun either way looool i wanted to see how his route would go, as a new character!
i was also interested in the fact that he is our coworker and how much that would affect the story, which now shows not much influence on how their story progressed so far, but it did help them spend a lot of time together and talk to each other, find out a lot about each other. I especially like how talkative hyun is about things he likes and his life, which, in most situations ends up being family and that’s another bonus. family oriented guys…it’s a yes from me.
this post is extremely long and is mostly about how i ended up choosing his route i’m sorry! but shortly put, putting all aspects into consideration, his character seemed the most suited and likeable to me :)
also side note: thank you so much for this ask!! it warms my heart that people take the time to ask and actually care about my opinion loool i’m really down to answer anything and everything (that i’m comfortable with as in lol) so if you’re interested in anything to do with hyun especially, feel free to ask more! i can talk about him forever i’m whipped for him….off the scale level haha

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six
The room was tense, like those Mob Boss stand offs kind of tense...like if it went wrong a shoot out would pop off.
Ubbe and Hvitserk both looked at Ivar, searching for anything to show that he was not being genuine.
‘The last time you said you wanted peace Ivar...you threw ale in my face.’ Ubbe said.
‘And you said peace was a dirty word, and you meant it.’ Hvitserk added.
‘I did mean it then...and I still do. I am not asking for peace with the Christians or even Lagertha, I am asking for my brothers’ forgiveness.’ Ivar started.
‘If you want the war between us to go on, for any reason, then I will fight.’ he ended.
Ubbe nodded slowly.
‘I do not wish to fight you Ivar, I never did.’ he said.
‘And I never wanted a war...not between us, we are Sons of Ragnar and Ragnar would hate to see us like that and you both know that.’ Hvitserk said.
Ivar looked away.
‘He hated watching fellow Vikings fight and kill each other over land that they already owned, he wanted us to go out and make settlements. This war is completely pointless, Lagertha is old and only has the one son and he has no interest in ruling Kattegat.’ Hvitserk continued, pointing to Bjorn.
You were just sitting in the armchair watching this exchange and lowkey watching the whole thing like it was season finale.
‘The question remains brothers...do you, any of you wish to continue the fight?’ Ivar asked again.
‘No.’ Ubbe said.
‘Neither do I.’ Hvitserk agreed.
‘I had no interest in this mess to begin with.’ Bjorn sighed.
Ivar sighed in relief.
‘Then let us end it, the war is ended, when we get home we will formally announce to the people that we’ve made peace. And we all go our own ways...I will choose to go back to England and raid, Bjorn no doubt be back on his way to the Mediterranean. The two of you can choose what you will do.’ Ivar said.
‘I also wish to raid and see what all there is to conquer.’ Hvitserk said.
‘I have a wife...who granted seems to have her own ambitions, is still my wife, and one of us will need to actually be in Kattegat to rule it.’ Ubbe decided.
‘That leaves only you and I at an impasse, Ivar.’ Lagertha spoke up.
Man you’d kill for some popcorn right now.
‘As I did before I will challenge you to single combat.’ Ivar glared.
Once again a long silence fell over the room and it had you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails.
‘Agreed.’ Lagertha finally said.
‘Oooh shit.’ you oohed.
They all turned and looked at you.
‘Oh shit...right, sorry.’ you blushed, realizing you’d said that last bit out loud.
‘Well then it is decided, we have all made peace.’ Ubbe smiled.
‘Temporarily.’ Lagertha added.
‘Alright...awesome, you all made peace.’ you smiled as you stood up.
‘It seems we have.’ Ivar said.
‘Well do Vikings not hug? You can’t make peace and just...go “OK” and walk off, you gotta hug.’ you explained.
‘Of course we hug, it’s just not something we don’t personally do.’ Hvitserk replied.
‘Seriously? None of you are huggers?’ you asked.
‘Huggers?’ Ivar asked.
‘Yes, you know, huggers; people who love giving hugs.’ you answered.
‘Are you a...hugger?’ he asked
‘Well of course I am! Nothing like a hug, wrapping you arms around someone and having them hold you back...its ugh!’ you gushed before you just wrapped your arms around Ivar.
you gave him a big squeeze realizing you hadn’t hugged anyone in almost twenty-four hours, but Ivar wasn’t exactly being a good participator.
‘You gotta hug back.’ you said.
‘How?’ Ivar asked softly.
That made you back up and look at Ivar in shock before turning back to the others.
‘You never hug him do you?’ you accused.
‘Well given the lifestyle we have it’s not just something we bothered with.’ Ubbe replied.
‘Shame on you.’ you scolded.
‘OK Ivar, put your arms around me and I’ll do the same.’ you instructed.
Ivar looked nervously at you then back to his brothers.
‘Don’t worry about them, just wrap your arms around me.’ you encouraged.
Ivar nodded and you bent back down and placed your arms around his shoulders again
Slowly Ivar placed his arms awkwardly around your shoulders.
‘OK good start, but um try a little lower, like the waist.’ you suggest.
Slowly Ivar moved his arms to your waist.
‘Good, now give a little squeeze, not too har- ah God!’ you gasped as Ivar nearly crushed you.
‘Sorry!’ Ivar apologized.
‘Goodness, its OK just not that hard, just enough pressure to be comforting.’ you clarified.
Again you went and gave him a hug, this time his hands found your waist first and he gave you a much softer squeeze.
‘There you go! This is a solid first hug Ivar did you like it?’ you cheered.
‘...I do not mind it.’ Ivar replied into your neck.
‘You love it...you’re a hugger now.’ you smiled as you let him go and stood up.
‘Do we also get hugs?’ Hvitserk asked, opening up his arms.
‘No, because you didn’t give him hugs, no wonder he’s so mean, but since you all made I do think we should celebrate.
‘How do you celebrate?’ Bjorn asked.
‘Well I bought a big ass roast I can put that on, grab some wine from the liquor cabinet and we can put on some good music and have our own little party.’
‘So...a feast.’ Ubbe said.
‘Yes Ubbe, a feast.’ you smiled.
The Vikings all cheered in excitement and to be honest the noise startled you, this house had been quiet for a while.
‘Excellent, our first feast in this new time!’ Hvitserk cheered.
‘OK how about I put on some music and you all can just stay in here and drink and party while I cook.’ you declared.
You unsync your computer and turn off the TV and move to pull out the giant speaker and Bluetooth it with your phone.
‘What the hell is this?’ Bjorn asked.
‘A speaker, like the ones on the TV nut this one is bigger and louder.’ you explained.
You already had a pretty decent playlist of oldies already set up, you did not want to play anything to make these impressionable Vikings think calling you a “hoe” would be OK.
‘Alright, no panicking guys.’ you warned before you pushed play.
These arms of mi~ine
Again they all seemed startled before easing into curiosity, while they fiddled with the dials on the speaker you went and got a few bottles of everything from you handy dandy liquor cabinet.
‘Now you all sit, listen, enjoy, dance, drink...hug.’ you say sending Ivar a smile.
You went into the kitchen and set about cooking, listening to the music through the walls.
As you cut the carrots one of your all time favorites came on and you just had to start singing.
‘You don’t have to be beautiful...to turn me on.’ you sang.
‘You have a lovely voice.’ Ivar said as he entered the kitchen.
‘I sound like a dying cat, what are you doing in here, the party is in there.’
‘They are dancing...not really my favorite activity.’ he said, gesturing to his wheelchair.
‘Right well then I guess you are cool enough to hang out with me.’ you teased.
‘Cool? I feel rather comfortable.’ he replied.
‘No-I mean you are...worthy to spend time with me.’ you clarified.
‘In that case, you are also...cool.’ Ivar smiled.
‘Come on, you can help, cut these...like this.’ you said, showing him how to cut the celery you put in front of him.
‘I do not cook.’ he denied.
‘You do now.’ you dismissed.
‘You are very rude to royalty you know that?’ Ivar said as he began cutting the most horrid celery slices ever.
‘We don’t have royals...not in this country anyways.’ you said as you added your carrots to the crock pot.
‘Yes, that was in the videos...your country goes through a lot of changes.’
‘Doesn’t it. I’ll go get us some drinks so we can have our own dance free party.’ you sighed.
You walk into the living room and sure enough the Viking were dancing, well if you could call their weird mini mosh pit dancing.
“You don’t have to be rich to be my girl! You don’t have to be coo-ool to rule my world!” you sang as you grabbed a bottle of Malibu rum.
‘I’m done with this...demeaning task.’ Ivar said handing you the cutting board with the cluster fuck of chopped celery.
‘Not the best, but I’ll make a cook out of you yet Ivar. For now though...lets drink while the food cooks.’ you said as you grabbed two cups.
‘That is not ale.’ Ivar said.
‘No, they don’t make that anymore, but this stuff has the same effect...getting you drunk off your ass.’ you smiled as you held out a full cup for him.
Ivar took the cup and sniffed it, making a face before taking a sip.
‘If its too gross I can mix it with something else.’
‘It is...fine, I like it.’ Ivar said before clearing his throat and taking another sip. good. Cheers.’ you said holding your cup out to him.
He looked at you in confusion.
‘Touch my cup with yours. its a thing we do before we drink.’
‘Ah, back in our time we say Skol.’ Ivar said.
‘Well then Skol, Ivar.’ you smiled.
‘Cheers (Y/N).’
You drank and drank and you talked with Ivar about anything that came to your drunken mind. When the food was done and you got the others, who were also on their way to shitfaced, and got them in the kitchen to eat.
And maybe it was the drunkenness but it was by far the most amazing roast you’d ever made in all your existence.
Once the food was done guess what you did.
Drank.
You sang and even found a way to dance with Ivar, sitting in his lap and spinning the wheels in donuts.
It was all good fun, more fun than you’ve had in ages.
THE NEXT DAY
Ugh dammit, you hadn’t drank that much in a long ass time.
‘Fuck me.’ you groaned closing your eyes tightly to block the sun that was shining through your curtains.
‘You said that last night too.’
The fuck?
You turn over and are face to face with Ivar.
‘Good morning ‘ he smiled.

Oppa-ya | Jihoon Idol!AU | Part 3
(A/N: a lot of you guys wanted me to continue this haha but I was really hesitant bc this is bone dry angst than fluff. I was even sincerely hurt as I wrote this lol. Anyway one angsty chapter coming right up.)
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3
“Are you still having trouble with that guy you liked?”
That question suddenly popped out of nowhere one night as the two of you casually lounged at the sofa in Bumzu’s studio for a break. He was playing some soccer game in the PS while you munched on a lollipop with your sharp canines—different from how you two seemed to be back in the recording room.
The weeks suddenly turned stressful when Pledis announced an All Star concert featuring all of Pledis’ artists that Seungkwan wasn’t even able to execute his plans. You and Jihoon were assigned to produce a song which will be sung by everybody at the encore, which, of course, should be a masterpiece yet for now, nothing really came up.
So when Jihoon threw that question to you, you almost choked on the shards of broken lollipop in your mouth and struggled to spit out a reply.
“…well, it’s still pretty much the same. I can’t really do anything if we’re like this. I’ll probably just wait for a miracle,” you told him with a defeated chuckle.
“Why don’t you just tell him? Who knows you two might actually work out,” Jihoon said as he scored a goal in the video game he was playing while you watched him with an eyebrow arched.
“Now you sound just like Hanna,” you lightly laughed at his amused face. “The thing is, I’m afraid I might get hurt and I especially don’t want him hurt.”
“Wow,” Jihoon remarked sarcastically with a tiny grin on his lips as his dimples appeared. “But as far as I know, relationships always involve getting hurt. So instead of regretting that you two didn’t end up together, it’s better to be hurt because you can proudly say that you two actually became a thing.”
You knew he had a point but you were too stubborn to accept that you were doing something foolish. In end, you just brushed it off with a joke.
“Wise words from the one and only Lee Jihoon,” you teased him as he tried to avoid your finger poking his sides to distract him from the game. “But I’ll keep that in mind.”
“By the way, Y/N, are you busy this Saturday?” Jihoon again asked you as you began recalling your schedule.
“Apart from a LieV later on that evening, then…nothing. I’m free, why?”
“Ah, if it’s like that, would you want to come with me?”
Jihoon abruptly asked you so nonchalantly that you thought you had to do a double take and process everything in your mind first.
Is he…is he asking me on a date?
“Come with you? Where?” you cautiously asked back; your heart beating rapidly at Mach speed, your breath holding on to his every word.
“Oh, just lunch. So you in?”
“Seriously? He asked you for lunch?!”
Hanna, Hazel and Leigh were almost shouting at the top of their voices in your group’s dorm that you had to cover up their mouths and profusely told them to shut up.
“Yes, now be quiet,” you told them as you sipped your cola with an annoyed glare. “He casually invites his friends for lunch so don’t make it so big of a deal.”
“Yeah sure, he invites the vocal unit for some samgyeopsal but he never invites girls for lunch,” Hanna reasoned out but you tried to ignore her. Despite that, you can’t deny that you were feeling hopeful.
“You should dress nice!” Leigh suggested excitedly as everyone agreed except you who only scowled.
“I ain’t going shopping,” you hissed at them yet they simply smirked at you.
“Tomorrow is a day off, right? Let’s hit Hongdae! It’s been a while since I’ve been there!” Hazel chimed in as she kept on rocking you back and forth.
“Then you guys go. I plan on doing some composing tomorrow,” you replied as you got off the bed but Hazel merely dragged you back with one pull.
“NO! You will look pretty in that date so you will be coming with us tomorrow!”
“I told you, it’s not a date!”
The off-white dress looked terribly complimenting on you as you faced yourself in front of the mirror. You didn’t want to prepare yourself so much for your lunch with Jihoon later but here you are daydreaming about how your date will proceed. No it’s definitely not a date.
“This is so wrong…” you whispered to yourself but you did your make up so well that anyone would have thought a professional have done it. You wore your best shoes, your best perfume, your best in everything—in conclusion, you prepared for your date so eagerly that you could no longer deny it.
When the doorbell rang a quarter to eleven, you hid the fact that you were actually excited and opened the door to see Jihoon looking very casual with just a green button up and jeans. The moment he saw you, Jihoon felt his eyes widen in surprise that his mouth only opened and then closed, and then opened once again.
“Hey, are you ok?” you asked him with a wave of your hand as he broke off from his state of shock.
“O-oh, hey…um…wow, you actually dressed up,” he muttered as he gave you another look while you stubbornly stopped the stupid smile forming on your lips.
“Hanna and the others bribed me to wear this,” you clarified as you closed the door behind you and put on your coat as Jihoon nodded in understanding.
“Ah, so that explains. Anyway, let’s go,” he told you and started walking towards the elevators.
However, instead of a delightful date like what you hoped for, life isn’t really that kind. Everything in that whole duration of two hours and forty-three minutes became just a blur to you like one of those Impressionist paintings hanging behind your seat in the restaurant that morning.
“Jihoon, wow! You look so grown up now!”
“You don’t really stop with the teasing, noona.”
Surprise.
Disappointment.
“But you would still humor me anyway. Oh, you brought your girlfriend?”
“No, no. We’re just friends, right Y/N?”
Pain. Hide it. Smile like how you were trained.
“Y/N, I want you to meet Seulgi-noona. She’s one of my closest friends back in Busan.”
“Oh, it’s nice to meet you! So you’re also an idol? I haven’t really updated myself these days.”
Small talk. Music in the background. Glasses clinking.
Big smiles. Hidden glances you noticed. Pain. Hurt.
“Her group is really popular these days, you might have even heard their songs playing in public places.”
“Ah yes, I’ve actually heard your songs before! Wow! I would have never thought that I would meet two idols today. Anyway Jihoonie, you’re still composing songs?”
Flustered. Red ears. Embarrassed and shy. Bashful. Small smiles. His dimples.
“Well yeah…I’m one of the producers of Seventeen’s songs so…”
“That’s really great! I knew pushing you to go to Seoul was the right thing to do! But I’m sorry if I haven’t contacted you for a long time. I was so busy with university and all.”
“Ah so that’s why you haven’t recognized me right away. But I returned to Busan a few years ago and you weren’t there anymore.”
Realization. One Fine Day in Japan. Disappointment. Hurt. Pain.
Hide. Hide. Laugh.
“Actually that’s why I wanted to see you.”
“Why? Are you in any problem? I can help.”
“No, honestly, it’s not a problem. I’m here…I just wanted to give you this.”
Silence. His smile fading. He’s hiding. Let’s hide.
“Oh. You’re…you’re getting married.”
“Yes, I moved in with my fiancé a few years back that’s why I left Busan. Anyway, I really hope you’ll come…oh and Y/N, you can also come too! I really like you.”
Silence. Background noise. Cars honking. Streets filled with people.
02hrs 43min 12sec 7ms
END
The muted noises faded away and your ears seemed to return to normal and you finally realized that you two were walking back towards your dorm in comforting silence.
“Jihoon-oppa.”
“What is it?” he replied to you as he buried the fancy envelope in his coat as he also buried his emotions deep inside.
“Seulgi-unnie isn’t just a close friend, is she?” you asked as you braced yourself for the impact.
“Seulgi-noona…she’s…,” Jihoon paused for a while, sighing as he can’t really contain anything anymore. “Well…she’s my first love.”
You smiled bitterly as your eyes threatened to wet themselves but you were better at keeping your feelings at bay.
“I saw you staring at her earlier,” you teased with a fake grin on your lips but Jihoon didn’t spare you a glance.
“Hm. Really?”
“Well then, how do you feel about her getting married?” you asked again, torturing yourself. I’m becoming a masochist.
“I don’t know.”
You hummed at his terrible answer; faking playful curiosity. You were after all a better actor than Jihoon.
“Do you still like her?” you asked straightforwardly, this time pursing your lips as you desperately tried to hold off all of your emotions.
“I…I just don’t know! She’s my first love Y/N! I grew up loving her! Do you think it’s that easy to forget?”
Jihoon finally burst everything that he has kept from the moment he laid eyes upon that invitation card to the time Seulgi waved him a goodbye; looking never so satisfied in her life than the present.
“Whenever I go home to Busan, it’s her I remember! She’s in everything I see back there—in our yard, in the port where we played with the boats, in the corner store as I buy popsicles! She’s the one who persuaded me into becoming who I am! But now she’s going to marry someone! And I’m even fucking invited! How am I supposed to move on?!”
He was huffing by the time he ranted his heart out as you stood there in the middle of the deserted street looking at him who was so desperately in love with someone else who he could never be with.
It must have been your way of comforting him or your way of comforting yourself—you walked towards him and enveloped him into an embrace; placing his head on your shoulder and patted his back. Jihoon would normally recoil at the sudden skinship but everything was in chaos that your warmth felt really inviting.
“You still do love her,” you remarked as you again bit your lip to stop the tears. Not here. Not here. Please.
“…I don’t know,” Jihoon replied and removed himself from you and walked onwards.
“Yes you do, you idiot.”
“Wow. How are you still alive after that?”
Seungkwan commented as he took a sip from his iced americano with Leigh and Hanna looking solemn beside him.
“Well, it’s not the end of the world. I can live with that,” you replied with confidence in your voice; the straw of your iced latte between your lips.
“You’re so stubborn,” Hanna remarked as she tapped the table; thinking.
“No, I just refuse to mope around all day just because he likes someone else,” you defended yourself with a bite on your tone. “Besides, I don’t want to be like those idiots flirting behind us.”
“You’re also bitter,” Seungkwan added with an annoyed expression. “Look Y/N, crying doesn’t make you look weak, okay?”
“I already cried last night and it’ll be the last time I will. This is stupid,” you replied as everyone sighed at your mulish behavior.
“If you need someone who’ll listen to you we’re here, Y/N,” Leigh told you as she patted your back with a small smile. “If you want, we can watch that crime show you always wanted!”
You shook your head as you stood up and gathered your things.
“Thanks, but maybe some other time. I’m off to the studio,” you told them as you left in a haste.
Seungkwan watched your retreating back as Hanna took a sip from her drink, also exhausted from taking in all of your bullshit.
“Something tells me that this isn’t over.”

Im so excited for your work!! I’m rlly curious about the revival and have a lot of questions buzzing, I hope u don’t mind ahh
1. So lots have happened for the lgbt community since marriage legalization, more awareness about trans-nonbinary people and pronouns, slurs, pride month and everyday inclusivity etc., would ETN be written in the present or will it still take place 2013ish? Will we be seeing nomi rocking some airpods?
2. It’s implied that the norisu nine were very powerful and involved in magic (traveling across the world battling the sorcerer, stealing the tengu’s feathers to create the suit, creating techniques like elemental/healing/shapeshifting powers etc.) so I’m assuming they were quite older. so is it that it was nomi’s parents’ family who were the nine and not the norisu kids? or is etn more of a creative liberty/canon divergence? I’m also rlly interested in how those magic system elements are going to be handled or incorporated in your story!
3. On a lighter question, does nomi get jealous from the fangirling that comes from the ninja’s popularity, and vice versa for randy when everyone in school crushes on nomi lol
Im rlly happy for etn, again sorry if that was a lot haha. You mention personal life things being a major block for etn and that a lot of writing like chapter plans or the trilogy format having to be cut due to that, would you prefer a co-writer so your original plans can be fulfilled more or maybe just an ideator to bounce ideas around? Whatever happens, do whatever you need not as a writer but as a person. We’ll be here :D!!
Phew, making me think pretty hard on all of this 😂 But seriously, I don't mind all the questions! I think the least I can do for people who enjoy ETN and have been patient with me all these years is answer whatever questions they might have (if possible).
1. A lot has indeed happened since 2013! *Stares at 2020 and sweats* And I have certainly learned a lot about the LGBTQ+ community since originally writing ETN (I mean, outside of what I already knew as someone who's bisexual), so I can definitely say that there will be quite a number of changes to RTN to keep it up to date on that front.
As for the time period of when the fic was written.... Yes, it was written in 2013 and will likely follow that in the rewrite, the show has zero historical accuracy anyway, so if Gay marriage is already a thing no one can say otherwise 😆 Sadly, Nomi won't have airpods.... Unless McFist invents some sort of equivalent 😂
2. So I do have Plans™ for the Norisu Nine stuff, and the best way to put it is canon divergence, although if we're being technical here, the show never specifies who started the Norisu Nine and when they started it. As far as we know, Finja could've started the Norisu Nine, but the Norisu clan could be much, much older but never referred to themselves as the "Norisu Nine".
So, ETN is probably best described as an AU/ canon divergence since I originally started the story somewhere in the middle of season 1 and I didn't include everything that happened later on, or I included it but in a different way.
The rewrite will be written in a similar manner tbh, and it'll start somewhere after Randy's first battle with the Sorceress. Anything that happens after this point will likely change if not be outright removed, but I won't say what that is yet until I can properly plan out key events. :P
I will say this.... The rewrite WILL effect who is the Norisu Nine and even who the First Ninja was 😉 (Spoiler alert: it's Finja! But who is Finja anyway? Hmmm).
I'll also be very honest here, but when I wrote ETN I didn't think too hard about the magic systems the show had in place, nor did I understand how to incorporate them 😂 So, maybe I'll do a little better with the rewrite 😂😂😂😂
3. Nomi doesn't get the whole fangirling thing tbh. They also know Randy is never serious whenever he flirts with fangirls, especially, because they've seen when Randy is actually crushing on someone (Theresa). If anything, Nomi thinks fangirling is an annoyance at the best of times, and an outright distraction at the worst of times LOL. Sorry to say, Nomi doesn't get jealous very easily.
Yea, a lot of stuff has gotten in the way of my original plans for ETN, but I think I should clarify that my interest in the show has waned. I have different interests now, and I'm even working on a much larger animation project as a main writer and even as a VA for a secondary character! I talked about this before on my main account, so I won't go into it here. But ultimately, it isn't just not having the time to write a massive trilogy series, but also interest. Writing ETN was always something I did for fun and for myself, and I want the rewrite to be the same. I don't want this fic to become a job or a chore, if that makes sense?
In any case, I wouldn't mind working with another writer on the rewrite if it means getting a lot more done and less wait time for people. However, I probably won't do this anytime soon since I'm going to start my next semester of university very soon :'D
And hey, I'm going on a bit of a limb here, but I have a hunch that you might be interested in taking on that role. If that's the case, I wouldn't mind bouncing ideas around sometime. If that's the case, feel free to dm me on my main account--> @chihuahuarocks
Okay! Hot damn, I think I answered everything? Let me know if there's something I missed, didn't explain properly, or if there's anything I should clarify! Or, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask! :D I love talking about ETN, and these questions do help me with the creative process!
#this was a chonky boy of an ask#but I very much appreciate it#keeps me on my toes 😂#and also helps me avoid writing any plot holes in the future 🙈#asks about etn

Things I Miss | 01
Hi y’all. I am so back! ☺ Woah. I’ve been in active for the longest time! It’s a new record now. Haha. Anyway, I just want to let you know that this recent blog drought has a valid reason (because the previous ones are purely out of laziness lol). If you follow me on my other social media accounts, I assume that you already know– I went to Thailand and stayed there for 4 whole months. But in case you don’t know then yes, you read it straight from me! But before we go to the main content of this blog, let me clarify things once and for all.
I went to Thailand, not for a vacay (sorry to disappoint lol), but rather to take my Internship there. It’s one of the rare and once in a lifetime opportunities offered in our college and I gladly took it. I have not spoken to anyone directly about it– at least, not before I landed safely there– but I also posted a few photos on Instagram under the hashtag #RoadToThailand to narrate in detail how I got there. Fast forward, it’s been a month since I got back and I’ve been feeling waves of separation anxiety so I’ve decided to list down the things that I miss about Thailand. Let’s go through each item one by one!
1. My Students
When I applied for internship in Thailand, I was thinking “Magtuturo lang naman ako dun.” I didn’t expect that I would love the students there this much! First of all, I am not fond of kids at all. Second, I am trained to be a high school teacher– to teach in the secondary level. Third, I, for one, is a self-professed introvert so I think I would have a hard time warming up on my students. Boy, I was wrong. I guess I’ve only been teaching for 2 weeks when I realized that I am getting close to my students.
I can’t explain it. Maybe because the children there are sweet and thoughtful. I just feel alive when I’m surrounded by them. I remember after class I would always bond with them and leave all my paper works at the office. I would joke and laugh with them during my free time. Now, I can’t help but smile and look back at our photos! I remember all the good times and somehow, I also feel sad because it may also be the last time I get to see them. Babalik ako pag kumikitang kabuhayan na! The memories will surely stay with me for a long time.
2. De La Salle Brothers
If there’s one thing that clearly separates us (Chantha-babies) and those who are assigned to other schools in Thailand is that we have the De La Salle Brothers with us. During weekends or whenever they have free time, they would tour us around Chanthaburi and Bangkok. They would even tell us stories and facts about the Thai culture. I learned a lot from them, not just in terms of teaching, but also as an individual in general. Having witnessed their passion in serving and humility made me aspire to be like them– not necessarily a Brother, but a selfless leader.
3. Chantha-babies
Now, this one is also unexpected and equally interesting. Kuya Andong, Tricia, Rica and I comprise the Chantha-babies. Tricia is actually the one who coined the term Chantha-babies– which is a portmanteau of Chantha (from the name of the school) and babies. When I learned that we’ll be assigned to the same school, I was thinking: “Paano yun? Hindi naman kamiganun ka-close?” But never did I once doubt the choice of our professors to bring us together. Our connection came out natural. At first, we would reach out to inform each other regarding requirements, flight details, documents, preparations and all.
When we arrived in Thailand, we grew close to each other. Aside from the fact that we only have each other to hold on to, we complement one another. I recall numerous times when we would stay at the dining area even after we have finished our meals and washed the dishes just to share our experiences, insights, rants, gossips and everything in between. We have our own inside jokes and puns too. We did everything together side by side for 4 months and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. I would have been insane by now if it wasn’t for them.
4. Food
Obviously, I gained weight but the apparent reason behind it isn’t because the food is mouthwatering but because of stress eating. Don’t get me wrong– I love Thai food but my taste buds couldn’t stand the mixture of different tastes and flavors at once. We have food stubs which we use to buy our foods and drinks. And because those are food stubs, what else can you use them for? I must admit, I went a little extreme with the chicken nuggets, sausages, shakes, iced tea and many more. No wonder I’ve gained a whole lot of weight, blame it on the food stubs.
5. Shopping and Gala Weekends
We all have our travel bucket lists. Mine consists of Paris, London and New York. While Thailand is not necessarily on my list, exploring the country is something I have always looked forward to. Being an outgoing person (despite my introversion), I’ve always craved for adventures and trying out new things. I don’t even have to enumerate all the first times and fun moments I’ve have had during our trips to let you know how much I enjoyed my stay there. Or maybe I have to– those beach trips, temple visits, random eateries, historical places, postcard worthy views and intricate details.
The best thing about it is that we have the Brothers, who are very much aware of the ins and outs of the area, so they perfectly know the right places to take us to. Add up to that all the side stories and facts which kept our interest levels high up and all those ‘singing along inside the car’ moments. Man, those minutes were precious! It’s not the destination that lingers but the journey through it– the things that happen on the road. It feels so good to explore and discover new places and culture! Just ticked Thailand off the list. Where to, next?
Till the next entry!

hello! can i have a private a private idol life ship? i’m kinda quiet ­ & I laugh more than I talk when I first meet people. I come off as mean because I have a resting b face lol. but right after the first time i meet you, i open up immediately and start being more myself. With close friends and family I do goof off a lot, making jokes and laughing at many jokes, I’ll dance or sing randomly around the house or out in public just to embarrass them or have fun with them. With my closest friends and family, I’m very sarcastic and somewhat rude at times. but not rude like mean, just rude like a witty comment or come back 😂 When in front of cameras (because I am a performer), I talk a lot, goof off a lot, laugh A LOT (i laugh over nothing allll the time) and etc. I’m kind of a ditz sometimes I have a lot of stupid moments and say a lot of stupid things. I really really enjoy karaoke, shopping, and performing. i also like playing sports like soccer or kickball or basketball wit my family & i really enjoy watching football! i dislike lying, anime, & comics lol. I play guitar, sing and write songs, I’m an actress and a dancer as well (my 3 favorite things are in order-singing, dancing then acting). I love traveling and exploring different places. I speak English & some Spanish, Korean, French, Chinese (Mandarin), and Japanese! (i talk in a lot of languages lol) I don’t get mad quickly, but I get annoyed easily sometimes haha. I’m suuuper tough it’s tough to actually hurt my feelings, and I don’t cry much. I always try and have a good time bc like life’s too short man 😂 I’m always there for people close to me, always trying to keep them happy. I’m very protective of my family and friends. If someone hurts them, I say something to that person and tell them to back off. I try not to make things about myself much because I hate when people think I’m selfish or self-centered, so I work extra hard to be there for other people more often. People say I’m super tough (and pretty of bitchy at times) but super loyal and down to earth and humble. However, I always correct people, but I still end up being right, & I’m very stubborn. 😂 So like, i’m super tough and intimidating but when you get to know me im EXTREMELY girly, goofy, energetic, determined, hardworking (i can work for hours nonstop) and loyal! Lastly, my fav colors are pink and purple, and my favorite animals are pandas, turtles, and elephants!! my fears are crabs (biggest fear), the ocean, spiders & disappointing those close to me. sorry if this is too long, take your time with this! Thanks so much in advanced!! 💗

Popular Moment In Your Relationship: Astronauts and ARMY’s who ship the two of you are huge fans of how social and outgoing the two of you are together. Since you both spend a lot of time in front of cameras you’re no stranger to the public eye, so having your relationship on display would never be something that bothered either of you that much. While Namjoon would make an effort to play slightly more secluded or private dates as a general rule, there was one particular occasion when neither of your schedules would allow for anything remote or heavily planned out. As a result, the two of you spent a casual day out in Seoul, meeting up with plenty of adoring fans and exploring the city together. The countless photos and fancams from your iconic date out are some of the fans most cherished moments of your relationship- as it showed how comfortable you were, not only with each other, but with the all your fans.
Biggest Dating Scandal About You: While there’s never been much serious scandal in your relationship with Namjoon, there was a slight rumor that began circulating shortly after your first year together. As part of the JYP Family, you are close friends with other idols in JYP including the members of GOT7. You and Namjoon are both good friends with Jackson in particular, as the three of you have hung out on multiple occasions even before you and Namjoon started your relationship. During one particular V-Live that Jackson was doing, a fan asked him for his thoughts on your relationship with Namjoon, to which he jokingly replied, “Nahh, I don’t buy it. Namjoon loves crabs and Devon can’t even be around them!” He laughed it off at the time, adding that the two of you made a sweet couple, but that didn’t stop fans from speculating as to whether or not Jackson was jealous. Some fans even began to look for evidence that maybe the two of you had dated prior to your relationship with RM, but when the rumors got out of hand Jackson was quick to clarify on Twitter, stating: “They’re two of my best friends, and I wish them nothing but happiness. Nothing else to say. 😊”
Solo Activities: International Actress and Model for high-end Athletic Wear: (Adidas and THE UPSIDE)

i’ll just answer both these at once lol @anon it’s totally fine!! <3 you didn’t seem rude at all! Kin stuff can be real weird sometimes haha
So yes while I’m kin with Cad Bane there is still a limit to what I can actually know about him. I mean with how much we’re connected, I do have my own theories on how he got his hat. i have strong emotions with it and i have strong daydreams that come from them. but ultimately no matter how strong my Kin identity with him, that alone cannot confirm canon information. Bane can’t tell me stuff that neither of us know about what the lucasfilm writers have decided.
Basically I can “feel” as much as I can about questions like this and I can have my own canon (or canons) for it, but when I say I don’t know how he got his hat, I’m saying I don’t know how it’s going to be confirmed in Official Canon. it’s kinda confusing XD
For example, I also have strong theories about what happened to Bane after the Clone Wars, and we talk about that. but we haven’t seen where he is in canon during the Clone Wars, so it’s like this...void i guess? And we’re waiting for the writers to fill in the blanks of our identity. And if the writing is just a little off I’ll know because they’re not writing ME correctly.
I think when it comes to fictionkin, your “canon kin” (that’s defined by the actual canon written by the writers and shit) and then the other canons that come up with your connective dreams, talking together, and stuff...it’s all the things that are not OFFICIAL canon, but they’re YOUR canon. and i have a lot of that with bane too!!
i’m sorry if this was worded confusing at all ;;;;; if any other fictionkin would like to add something to clarify pls feel free! and thank u for asking anon i actually love talking about this stuff <3 <3 <3

hi again! i'm the T anon who requested a tarot reading earlier, it was really helpful! if its ok, could i also request a reading with a the 'Kin-Specific Past Life Tarot Spread'? i think you reblogged it a week ago. i understand its a much longer one, im totally willing to wait however long i need to, but if its too draining, pls feel free to just say so! sorry for asking so much lol, tysm :~)
you absolutely can, dear! and no worries, haha; i completely understand
here we go! [here] is a link to the above-mentioned spread!
1. an emotion/feeling/state of mind that dominated you
page of cups - sensitive, kind, imaginative, romantic, gentle, new love, love letters
you were open to love, or perhaps simply longed for it. the page of cups is soft and sensitive, but also imaginative and creative. creative expression is also a big part of this card, since it can literally represent love letters, haha!
2. an action you took because of it
seven of cups - fantasy, illusion, creative brainstorming, altered states
this card once again represents a dreamy state of mind; it also represents indecision. while the question asked for an action you took, the card says that your action was, perhaps, inaction; though not necessarily from lack of care or interest. the seven of cups represents so much overwhelming choice, and so many options, that stagnation covers you.
this card can also represent altered states; this can be anything from meditation/visualization to alcohol/drugs. perhaps you were led to one of these things by your emotional state of mind.
3. a key event in your timeline
the emperor - power, structure, stability, authority, father
the emperor represents logical and rational thought, enforcing rules and structure, and leadership. perhaps things went from scattered to organized; from free to strict; neither of which are necessarily a bad thing! to me, though, the emperor feels a bit more authoritative than usual, and to me that seems like a conflict, but that doesn’t mean it was!
he can also represent a father or father figure in your life. perhaps something prominent happened involving (or because of) a masculine figure in your life!
4. your role in that key event
three of swords - loss, sorrow, betrayal, necessary sacrifice
this card indicates a difficult loss. this could be the end of something (a life or a relationship), or a feeling of betrayal or rejection, or even more literal loss.
keep in mind that this is your role in #3, which was a “key event” involving the above mentioned characteristics. this could imply that there was a loss, rejection, betrayal, etc. involving that father figure in your life.
perhaps the difficult loss was a loss of freedom; if you were giving up control for structure and rules, then your role would have included grieving for your lost way of living.
5. your standing with others
five of pentacles - lack of security, unstable, scarcity thinking, alienation, illness, supportive friends
this card represents a threatened sense of security. it can also represent relying on friends, which is never a bad thing! you may have relied on others to help you, or perhaps you occasionally supported them!
sidenote from after drawing and putting up all the cards: i’m sorry, i’m having a good deal of trouble interpreting this one…so, ah, i drew a clarifying card!!
5 ½. how you were perceived by others, overall
two of cups [reversed] - difficulty relating, unequal relationship, no relationship, balancing energy
…so in answer: your standing with others was disharmonious. alright then, seems like you leaned on others without giving back; you took and either didn’t want to or forgot to give back. time apart was needed, or perhaps demanded. while your standing with other people wasn’t all that great, remember that this feels like something you conquered, yeah?
6. others’ standing with you
five of swords - defeat, self-defeat, arguments, irritability, feeling attacked
i’ll jump straight in with this one: you were mean to others, even if you didn’t intend to be. perhaps you didn’t quite trust them, or you simply had to win every argument, but you always had to be “right.” you may have done things you didn’t want to do just to prove others wrong. it’s not necessarily that you saw yourself above other people, but you certainly had a complex about “winning” – even if that wasn’t what you should have been focused on.
7. something you’ve forgotten
ace of cups [reversed] - blocked feelings, numbness, guarded heart, insecure emotions, ignoring intuition
this card is a very stark contrast to the page of cups in #1, but everyone has their facets! perhaps you have forgotten or blocked out a time when you were numb and closed off to help, insight, and emotion. this card can also representing feeling sensitive (to hurt, etc) and acting childishly, such as by lashing out or being unduly stubborn.
this card can also be a push to give up some decadent pleasure, like alcohol, chocolate, or some other type of food. you may have forgotten this warning: to be careful about what you indulge in.
8. a mistake you’ve made
judgement - rite of passage, maturing, reviewing, transition
interesting…this is rarely seen as a negatively-coded card. i’ll do my best to pick out its flaws, haha! ;)
judgement is all about one phase of life coming to an end; it’s about change and release. it’s about growing up and being accountable for your choices and behavior. which, i will admit, seems like a great thing.
but why did you decide to “grow up”? why did you decide to embrace such change? while things cannot stay the same forever, rushing into decisions, or choosing something without thinking it through, can be dangerous and harmful for everyone involved. sure, a teenager may want to try to be mature and drive a car – but what if that teenager is only 13? sometimes, it’s better to hold onto your childhood innocence.
9. something you did right
queen of cups - empathetic, receptive, sensitive, introspective, psychic, emotional, loving, dreamer, counselor, mother
(personally, the queen of cups is one of my favorite cards!! ^^) maturity, sensitivity, and romance – all themes we’ve seen, both in positive and negative lights. here, the implication is that these traits were able to help you in some way. as this card represents empathy and intuition, your emotional nature and gut feelings were able to help you do something right.
you were receptive, loving, and artistic; not all the time (as the queen of cups can also be moody, emotionally manipulative, and deceitful), but you showcased the best of the queen’s qualities at the best possible time. wonderful job~!
10. a lesson learned
eight of cups [reversed] - refusing to give up, avoidant behavior, running away, always feeling something is missing
as this is a negatively-coded card, i’m going to assume the lesson you learned was to not do these things; to stop running away and avoiding conflict or responsibilities. you learned that it’s okay to be sad, and that you don’t always have to be happy. it’s okay to let go and release control of a situation when you know you can’t handle it.
as you can see, you got an overwhelming amount of cups! the suit of cups is associated with receptiveness, femininity, and water. as indicated multiple times in the reading, you were (usually) receptive to emotions.
this was quite tiring, but very interesting to do!
i sincerely hope this helps you!! again, don’t hesitate to let me know how you felt about this reading; what felt right, what felt wrong, what felt weird.
if you have further questions, you can absolutely continue asking, though you’re also free to talk to me privately so we can have more of a conversation!
best of luck with finding out more about your canon, darling!
