#MAINLY JUST “why tf is this character. pulling this shit”

Listen. Listen to me. Galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood veneer.

when they got "character who made an undeniably terrible decision but man i dont know what i would have done either" at the function

[the-dalseum-duet]

aldi stream of consciousness

bits of lore. random thoughts. who knows what else? I spent hours on this bruh I had shit I wanted to do tonight but alas. hyperfixation stops for no one. @svwhssftr

After some contemplation I am very conflicted on the existence of Aldi.

Do I like it as a concept? Yes. I love it. I love a good redemption arc of a silly sleazy character. A character who should NOT be a good guy but chooses to do the right thing after seeing both sides for what they truly are. That’s my lesbian fantasy. Men doing the right thing even when it doesn’t benefit them. That’s what gets me turnt. But highly unrealistic. That’s why it’s my lesbian fantasy. 

But I’m not really sure if I’m willing to compromise on some pretty deep and complicated issues. All of the Dalseum characters canonically have extremely clear themes in their arcs. Charlie’s is about the dehumanization of women and reduction of their identities once they’re seen as mothers. Sonnet’s is about how simply disagreeing with immorality is not action against it/how neutrality is inherently taking the side of the oppressor. Noeul’s is about how blindly following tradition under the guise of consistency and refusing to acknowledge issues in your beliefs fucks up pretty much everything. Very evident shit that can be gathered easily. 

But Adam is a little different. His arc in Blackbirds is about how showing kindness to and helping those in need actively works against oppression. And how anyone can do their part, even someone as seemingly insignificant as the owner of a run-down bar on the skirts of the Wasteland. But his arc before Heartstrings with the Council drives everything. It sparks Sara’s distrust of Noeul and it cements Noeul’s obsession with eliminating/taming what he cannot control—the first explicit victim of his being Sonnet and inadvertently Adam. 

And I love him so much. I love him dearly. Adam is the most meaningful character I have for so many reasons, mainly being that he went through the same trauma I did in real time. His pre-Heartstrings arc is meant to represent this. He was raised strictly Christian but never quite bought into it. Something never felt right about it. And as he ages it’s pretty evident that he feels othered because he’s queer. The church community stereotypes him as this before he even clocks it in himself. And once he does, all hell kinda breaks loose. He knows his mom won’t accept him (FUCK CAL we all chant in unison) so he starts going to church more regularly. He tries to make his personality more dull. But it fuckin kills him. 

He finds refuge in Brooke, his best friend who also happens to be in the theatre club with him. She’s a trans girl with an extremely supportive family (and a really hot lesbian older sister but you didn’t hear that from me) so she doesn’t quite understand how Adam feels but supports him regardless. He feels the most like himself while engaged in the arts. It’s a place to pretend you’re someone you’re not—and when you do nothing but that, it’s a chance to be yourself for a while. He tries to balance his double life to the best of his ability, but it falls through. 

Word gets out to his mom that he’s gay. Screenshots of text messages between him and Brooke are shared.

And she tweaks tf out on him. He has no defense so he just blanks out. A first of many times for mister Belle. But little does Cal know that Adam has a PLAN!! With help from his brother Sam (sorry to drop that on you out of nowhere. he has a brother his name is sam and he’s a Fortnite addict) he finds out who his father is. Adam previously had no clue, but managed to go through his mom’s shit to find clues and had Sam (teenage hacker extraordinaire) do some digging to find him. And there was a little Blaire magic string-pulling in there too. 

So, over the summer, Adam leaves without a goodbye. He goes to Eden Grove, KY to find him. And originally it was this really cool historical thing where it was a town stuck in 1890 but that doesn’t really work anymore w Charlie needing to be the main character of the main project. Unfortunate. But the vibes are still there, it’s very regal and a town w rich history. And his father is this beautiful long-haired bisexual French man—who had a drunken hookup with a literal goddess—named Gabriel Belle who’s a retired model and lives across the street from his childhood best friend Kennedy Blaire. And hijinks ensue and he meets this weird little hella autistic blonde girl who has no plot relevance later whatsoever. Who also teaches him that love is out there if he goes to find it. 

But Gabriel can’t keep Adam around forever. He has to go home. But wait… Gabriel tells him to apply to the art school in Britain he graduated from. And Adam does AND HE GETS IN FOR POETRY (maybe not for writing a poem abt gay robots but hey! there were a lot of gay robot people from where he’s from) and he leaves Cali to live his best life in Britain. And his randomly assigned roommate is this kinda weird bald guy whose last name is Chea going for visual art? Surely they’re not plot relevant in any manner

And then they fall head over heels for each other and become best friends. and chea discovers that maybe they’re not a man at all and never have been. and their name is Sonnet now because Adam thought it was fitting. a love poem with so many different forms and iterations but recognizable no matter which one it takes. adam you dirty dirty poetic little dog. and they grow out their hair and dye it pink and Adam fully bleaches his and they’re just stupid little artsy fartsy teenagers together. 

And for their final project their senior year, they do a dual show combining Sonnet’s paintings with Adam’s poetry. Likely very politically charged knowing the both of them. But alas this is during Noeul’s first bout finding Council members and he ends up going to the show and reaching out to them. And Sonnet is all in. Adam is much more hesitant, but agrees because he loves Sonnet and wants to be with them and watch them succeed.

And we know the drill. Noeul wants Sonnet bc they’re a manic pixie baddie but he has to get through Adam first. And how does he do that?

Yeah a threesome/fucked up polycule sounds great. 

And this breaks Adam to his core. He still abides by the fundamentalist beliefs he grew up practicing, even if he distanced himself from them. Screwing around with someone he trusted in their dorm room felt safe and natural. Some man he didn’t even know fucking him for the sake of fucking him was neither. 

There’s no way around the fact that Noeul sexually assaulted Adam. He did not consent in any way to being used the way he was. Noeul took his curiosity as a yes, but that’s not what consent is. Regardless of what Noeul thought Adam’s level of comfort was, Adam was not fucking comfortable doing anything with him. Adam was traumatized by this. There’s no way around that, even if Noeul assumed he consented.

Rest of the pre-Heartstrings lore is unnecessary now bc this is the point of contingency.

Adam sees Noeul as the man who violated his innocence.

Kai fucks Noeul for fun.

Those two coexisting doesn’t really jibe with me. 

I’m more than willing to give Kai a redemption arc here. I firmly believe that pretty much any character can be redeemed but sa is a really difficult subject for me. That’s one thing I can’t fuckin do. I did not want to include this in the Dalseum duet but it is meant to represent the full toxic masculinity experience so it kinda has to be there. I just felt like Charlie being the one who is explicitly assaulted and carrying the child conceived via rape being seen as positive was not the move. I shouldn’t have killed it scar. 

In canon this will be lightly implied. Never confirmed. But if you read between the lines I feel like it’s very obvious that this is something that Noeul is not beyond doing.

And Adam works at Midnight to try to cope with no longer seeing himself as pure. It’s back to that thing about the arts—he pretends to be the glamorous slut everyone makes him out to be despite being incredibly introverted and socially awkward to revel in this idea that he’s long gone. If he’ll never be pure anymore, he might as well make some money off of it. And something something abt exposure to sexual themes constantly when unwanted making you subconsciously hypersexual that too. 

But here’s the kicker—he sets his boundaries tight. He’s no-contact. No VIP. You look, but you don’t touch. He knows he has worth, but he performs like he doesn’t. He definitely gets his start with drag here with bold, unrecognizable makeup. I’m thinking that iconic Trixie Mattel blackout eye with heavy glitter. His dancing isn’t to make men horny chat it’s an art piece about identity and purity. Sonnet would be so proud of him. 

But damn does it make men (read kai middle name shirogane) horny. And this is all well and good until we take note of his behavior with Noeul. I just. Hm. I don’t like that he’s just casually fucking the guy who made Adam Like That. Not a fan of this unless we make some changes. I am all for problematic plotlines with literally anybody but Adam I’m sorry bro needs a break. we’re about to get a shit ton of that with sham. (spoiler: it’s pretty much heathers but so much worse with fewer characters) so here is my proposed revision for aldi

After Noeul proposes to sonnet, Kai gets pissed off because he thinks Sonnet’s stupid and the whole arrangement was a terrible idea. Which is valid. He goes to work at Midnight to get away from it all. And then BAM who else is busting it down but the pretty guy he may or may not have had a secret crush on for a long long time. And he’s the queen of the place. His presence as an ex-Council member commands it. People are tripping over themselves to shove money in his garters with him just standing there. 

not a fan of using the phrase busting it down there adam is not the bust down type. he’s definitely out there longingly gazing as he stretches across a table or some shit. oookay man pack it up emo ass bitch. or very drag-inspired theatrical moments interacting with the crowd. depends on the aura that day. 

but Adam recognizes him. and Adam fucking POUNCES. and this throws Kai off HEAVY (I’ll do the full notfic later but this scene is very important) and invites him to VIP. which has already been established as an absolutely NOT for Adam. Kai’s like “what the fuck. what the fuck. why does he want to fuck me this bad. What” and turns out he does not want to fuck him at all. bro just wants a break from people breaking his boundaries. he’s like “thank god you work here now I can’t keep fucking doing this shit” and Kai’s like “???” and adam explains “if they think we’re hooking up, both of us are more valuable. those people see us as their prizes. if they can catch traces of us on each other, they’ll pay double for the privilege. ik you’re new here but trust me shirogane” and Kai’s like “ok cool so we’re not fucking” and Adam’s counting his money like “bitch you do not have the money to fuck me calm down. i’ll invite you in when i need a break from it all. feel free to do the same btw this is a partnership now. we’re business partners.” and Kai’s like “ok cool???” and he smudges his makeup a little and tells Kai to ruffle his own clothes bc he’s not doing that. sound familiar to anyone 

so they do this a lot just to chill out bc working there is HARD! entitled rich people suck. and they start becoming actual friends and they LOVE to gossip abt other employees and the whole Council downfall. and Kai realizes. shit. Noeul does kind of suck a lot. And they stop hooking up bc he’s rather have an actual friend than Noeul’s depressed ass. and he watches how working there kills Adam afterwards. some nights he loves it but others he just breaks down with him. bc people do not respect him. and we get the whole scene where he blanks out when Kai pins him somewhere around here. and Kai’s like “shit dude. that clearly fucks someone up” and swears to never see Noeul again. 

and they play heavy into the fake dating. not going to spoil a lot of the silly stuff they do together but they have a good time. do they start to fall for each other? oh no!! oh no whatever will they do

but wait. Adam’s been saving the money they’ve gotten. And he’s quitting. And buying some old building in the wasteland to fix up and open a new bar. And Kai’s like “you’re just going to leave this?” and Adam’s like “this is killing me. I need to feel safe again. but I’ll need a bartender if you ever want to work for me” but kai is still pretty shallow atp and turns him down bc midnight will pay better. And Adam leaves without Kai being able to say he kinda actually might love him. and then work gets boring and the drama of the Council lures him back in and Noeul gladly takes him back. And Kai’s like “psshhh whatever Adam clearly misremembered him bc I remember he was always fine with me” but now he’s in an unhappy marriage and incredibly stressed. and he is not respectful. but he’s a Freak and kai is into that. 

and for fifteen more years he stays around here with some unknown feeling sitting in his chest (spoiler: that’s guilt) until the whole blackbirds saga starts. and he double agents for them. to kinda even out the work Gale and Sonnet are doing to sabatoge the Blackbirds, Kai is reporting back to Adam with info on the Court’s plans. And he keeps fucking Noeul under the excuse of “ohh I’m just keeping the trust there” (nobody here is perfect) but his allegiance is to the kid he helped raise and the boy who got away. And Charlie too I guess

in return for all that. bringing back demi adam from the sv days for the old man yaoi portion of tonight’s show.

stone cold service top. in return for the financial spoiling kai gives him. nothing more needs to be said I think.

Damn the more I hear about Velma the worst it gets. This saddens me because I've been watching Scooby since before I could talk :(

Mainly what I'm seeing is that someone has contempt for the series + their own ideas for their own incredibly generic show and rather than make something unique, they're just insulting an established series.

My biggest gripes so far:

1. How tf do you got a Scooby Doo show without Scooby Doo? Is he too kiddy for your generic ugly adult cartoon?

2. Shaggy- oh sorry, NORVILLE. Look, I have no problem with the race thing- my literal main issue is that he's called SHAGGY for a reason. How hard is it to give him thick hair? On top of that they make him an actual druggie- let's pretend there's not some subtle racism behind making the perceived 'stoner' of the group black- it's boring. Yes yes we know the gang is a bunch of stoners, but isn't it funnier when it's just IMPLIED? Isn't it funnier that a man just REALLY FUCKING LOVES DOG TREATS and is willing to risk his life on a regular basis for god damn DOG TREATS? Instead they just turn him into yet another Seth Rogan tier predictable disappointment

3. The overall mischaracterization from what I'm seeing just... sucks, and again, I think part of that comes from a contempt for the series. You don't have to make the characters assholes to make them likeable! I know Rick and Morty and Seth McFarland have poisoned the well for a lot of people but you really don't!

Across the franchise there's plenty of fun ways to interpret the characters:

Fred: himbo that loves his friends, dad friend barely holding it together, obsessed with traps- take your pick, none of these are spoiled boring asshole rich kid.

Daphne: if you're opposed to damsel in distress, how about the cool martial artist fashionista made prevalent in the What's New Scooby Doo series or the live action movies? What about being a good reporter? Hell, even her goofy dorky self in Be Cool Scooby Doo is better than the stereotypical snooty popular girl. Props at least for keeping the red hair.

"Norville" is not a self friend zoning beta male and he's not really obsessed with drugs. Literally the man across DECADES of this franchise is ridiculously talented. Ventriloquism, improv acting, gymnast and athlete- seriously, why do you think they have him and the dog constantly running away from monsters and leading them into traps? The man was literally so good at that that he became a COACH. for MONSTERS. Let's also not forget that he was a race car driver! And had a hot girlfriend! In fact, fuck this friend zoned beta male shit- Shaggy literally pulls more girls (and men I think) in the entire franchise than the others COMBINED. If anything he should have dense harem protagonist energy. I'm talking more than Velma, dude also pulled her LITTLE SISTER- and she was okay with it because she knows he's a good guy(mind the AUs)! Pulled a girl that was kinda a monster fucker for him specifically when he was a werewolf, an actual fucking alien, several foreign girls of various nationalities, several average girls, a crazy but hot redneck girl that tried to SCHWOOSCH his bones after seeing the red shirt ONCE, pretty sure he did something good for Daphne to hang out with him for so long with just a bunch of dogs and a random kid they picked up, very sure actual monsters fell for him- and he's a nerd! He and his beloved best friend the talking dog are massive nerds! I reckon people still latch onto that and think he's the stereotypical nerd but no, no, Shaggy has so much going for him! Not to mention- not to mention! Animal lover! Doy! How do you miss that? He's always paired with the animals! The man is a collective family friend of the entire Doo clan! Every time there's a guest appearance with a non human entity, he's hanging out with them!

Velma... alright look. I'm about to say something real controversial. Real controversial. You ready? She is kinda boring and bland. She's smart and a good investigator, but really? This is who you base the show on? Recently she was allowed to be bisexual- that's great! She's well read, well informed, and if you want to skip the bitchy "its me or the dog" persona from Mystery Inc or the snooty geek from Be Cool, you could fall back to the quiet but cute and thoughtful personality she had in A Pup Named Scooby Doo. If not, she's just boring. I feel like most of the hype for her comes from memes or the people that think they're unique for finding her more attractive than Daphne (you're not btw). Like what does she do that the others cannot do? I'm pretty sure Daphne can do her job but without the min max on intelligence and some points in kicking ass. In fact, why are Fred and Daphne the assholes when Velma in TWO separate series has been the judgey bitch and overall asshole? If anything she should would fit the perfect "beta incel self perceived victim that's actually just a massive douche" trope!

And Scooby. First off fuck the writers for not including my boi. Second, you really couldn't make an adult comedy of a talking dog? If Scooby said fuck- scuze me, 'ruck'- I'd cry laughing! If Scooby was the druggie and Shaggy was normal, that'd be hilarious! Literally if they took every negative trait they forced onto the others and put it onto Scooby, you'd literally have a prime adult cartoon character right there. He's a gag character! Utilize it! I know in the recent series he's been pushed to the side for the others, but he's literally a comedic gold mine waiting to happen! Make him an arsonist! Make him have questionable opinions! It'd be hilarious because he's a literal dog that can't speak understandably half the time!

Look, if you want to make an "adult scooby doo" then I guess I can't stop you. Velma ain't how you do it though.

Btw before anyone jumps on me to defend the new show, the creator of the series supports JKR soooo

[hyperfixationtimego]

monika and junko are the “complain about a place they dressed up for and chose to go” squad (occasional mondo and celeste appearances)

oh monika and makoto have major tension going on (makoto’s under the amount of braincells needed to tell if someone doesn’t like him <3)

monika has like…a thing about how similar their names are, and she lowkey has crushes on Sayaka and Kyoto so. the less rivals the better in her opinion

but monika definitely first talks to Kyoto in the summer camp! yes it’s mainly an interrogation of who tf she is and why she’s here (monika did try to interject herself into memories, but it’s Kyoto so she knows), but it’s a discussion!!

Sayaka def splashes Monika with water and she GLITCHES TF OUT. she’s fine with water, but for some reason the beach water messes with her coding. (sayaka/monika supremacy ftw, sounds cute as hell)

also monika made herself part of the drv3 class, so I can’t speak much on how she gets along with them bc idk that game but I feel like it’d be fun - queer eye anon

HAHA I AM DOING IT FINALLY

TAKE THAT, EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION

Oh my god yeah Junko and Monika are absolutely the two kids at the school dance that are like. SO dressed up and fancy and generally looking really cool, but they’re so mean about it. Like “wow this is so stupid. This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever been to. I hate it here ❤️”

Mondo got dragged there by Taka, and Celeste’ll be damned if anybody’s gonna one up her in the ennui complaint department

So they all just hang out in a corner talking shit hehe

Makoto “I will make this Monika girl my friend even if it kills me” Naegi vs. Monika “I will delete your entire existence with a snap of my fingers” Doki Doki

ALSKSKSKD JUST IMAGINING HER ADMITTING THE THING ABOUT THEIR NAMES BEING TOO SIMILAR AND MAKOTO JUST *exasperated* “THAT’S why you don’t like me?!!?”

Monika: YEAH WELL YOU’VE GOT CRUSHES ON MAIZONO AND KIRIGIRI, SO WE’RE RIVALS, GOT IT??

Makoto: YOU MEAN MY BEST FRIENDS???????

Kyoko being a sucker for a pretty face,,,,,,,hehe god I love them

“I am a digital visual novel character who glitched her way into your game.” “That is completely incomprehensible. Have a good day.”

And hehe Monika playing water games with her and pulling her into the ocean,,,,,,,please I just think they’d have fun together 😭

AND SAYAKA SPLASHING HER THAT’S SO CUTE

she starts glitching and just. “Is this because of the salinity of the water or is this girl just so cute that I’m blushing too hard?”

she cannot tell ❤️

[planetjisungie]

détester- l.dh

characters; slytherin! haechan x gryffindor! reader ft. gryffindor! mark (its just a given at this point) and slytherin! jisung

summary; enemies to lovers, you and donghyuck had always just hated eachother. you dont know when it started, or why it started but it was starting to get annoying.

an; i WILL finish my hogwarts series tonight we only have chenle left but now we have more fluff than actual crack because simon says is playing

congratulations you have reached gryffindor level you lucky prick

only the finest gryffindor

you are the embodiment of courage, literally if there was a ditch and someone fell down while everyone was too scared to help them, youd dive in before they could even say ‘dumbledore’

and you just so happen to be the younger sister of mark lee

the infamous mark lee,, that is

lucky prick part 2

but one thing made you seem not so lucky

your sworn enemy, lee donghyuck

or haechan as he liked to be called because apparently all evil villains needed a fake name

thats what you said anyway, he just liked the name haechan for its meaning

but he was also the emodiment of a slytherin, ambitious, cunning, resourceful and he was a pretty damn good leader

hence him being the captain of the quidditch team (no we are not going down the jisung route)

you didnt actually know when you started hating him, in your first year he had just decided to tie your poor, poor cat like a pig for roasting (he was in his second year already)

mr snuggles was traumatized

after that day it was small things to annoy you

like when he put hair dye in your conditioner bottle, resulting in your hair turning out a seafoam green colour

which you actually didnt mind so the joke was really on him, you pulled that shit off

or when he put spiders in your school shoes

that was unpleasant

and he also put a cockroach in your pocket, scaring your poor best friend who was terrified of the creatures

jisung was shaking, he hates cockroaches

to this day you still didnt know why he was a slytherin, but you guessed it was because he was a pureblood, very ambitious and resourceful but not so scary

but today was no exception

you walked towards the gryffindor table, robe billowing behind you as if you were walking in a movie

you were a lee sibling, you were both good at literally everything and deserved all the praise on earth

you fucking go girl, i stan

jisung sat at your table, the gryffindors appeared not to mind, especially as he was actually super nice

"y/n haechan told me to give you this"

ah there it was

the small hufflepuff girl handed you the letter before scurrying off back to her table

"y/n im scared"

jisung was already frightened of what that letter would hold

and you were a good friend, who knew no good would come from that letter

so you shoved it in your pocket, letting it crumple up before turning back to your breakfast

rip donghyuck

that was a fat L for our boy

he just wanted your attention

at first at least, he just wanted to be noticed by you so he pulled the cat stunt, making sure he didn’t actually harm the creature because he is still a decent human being and the grey furry animal did nothing to him

but now he had taken things too far

and he realised that after the stunt he pulled which resulted in you

yes, you, the brave, courageous gryffindor, crying

yeah he fucked up

he casted an illusion spell that infiltrated your sleep, creating nightmares with your deepest fears

and he regretted that

prank gone wrong *nearly killed her* (not clickbait)

you were still pissed at him for that

but that letter in your pocket was no ordinary letter

it was a confession letter, because he; yes him, the infamous slytherin, was too scared to talk to you about it in person

yet you literally just crushed his heart

which he kinda deserved to be fair

but jisung sent you a grateful smile and you went back to your conversation of which cereal brand was better

the answer is obviously lucky charms or frosted shreddies pengers mate

so our baby slytherin needed to find another way to get his feelings across because he was failing

and brother mark was: not happy

mark was a friend of haechan but despite his complaints every goddamn time that he needed to stop his stupid jokes that weren’t actually jokes, he didnt listen

maybe he shouldve listened

mark knows best

apart from jenos fic, mark was a real bitch but this is mark 2.0

mark really doesnt know best

anyways moving on

its time for innovative hyuck™️

so its back to the drawing room, sitting next to yuta (his head boy) to discuss the next plan of action

cutie yuta felt that haechan opening up to him about his feelings was the biggest achievement during his time at hogwarts

so right, the next plan

it was to leave flowers on your bed and then when you turned around to see who put them there (hypothetically) he would be there and he could make his outstanding apology

but of course, this isnt some fanfiction where everything goes right

who do you take me for?

so later that day he gathered his flowers, tying them in a cute dark green ribbon

staying with the slytherin theme

and he put them on your bed

they were some seriously nice flowers

you noticed them as soon as you walked in and your heart swelled

unfortunately that wasnt the only thing that swelled

you were allergic to pollen, and your eyes had puffed up slightly, itching a little and you had some sniffles

that was another L for hyuck

and he ran, he fucking booked it out of his little hiding spot back to his common room aka the dungeon

"YUTA I FAILED"

"how the fuck do you fail giving someone flowers hyuck?"

"shes fucking allergic"

so you never found out who gave you flowers

but

but you did keep them, despite your obvious physical irritation to them

they were pretty :(((

so you pressed them into a random notebook you found, because seriously you couldnt just chuck them out

unfortunately for hyuck, he was not so slick to mark who narrowed his eyes on the boy

he knew something was up

what kind of torture device was flowers ?? this was too soft

and so he found out that the same boy who had been making your life a little

how should i say

s p i c y

had a fat crush on you and was just a pouty baby who wanted your love and attention

cute

mark didnt know whether to support this?? like ?? he knew that underneath your front of disliking the long legged boy, you had some feelings, maybe small but they were there

you wouldve called it fondness

because

i promise youre not a sadist or masochist

but you would see him in class

he was very focused and had a beautiful smile

and laugh

he may come across a little... stand offish and arrogant at first but hes actually a kind soul

from how he made a mess in the grand hall but when he thought everyone was gone, he stayed behind to help clean it, having fun conversations with the staff (elves? who tf cleans the great hall??)

that goddamn melodious laughter constantly ringing in your head

shawtys like a melody in my head

but moving on

you noticed the pranks he pull decreased

and that was because he was spending time with yuta and mark, planning the perfect, foolproof (unfortunately not jeno this time) way to confess

and he sent you small smiles ?? what ??

this is so unlike the hyuck you knew

like he did a 180

i did a full 180 baby crazy

i said this was gonna be less crackish but when regular comes on and you hear jaehyuns queso line you cant not feel qUirKy

(bbq- bb—s mY DIAMONDS I DONT NEED NO LIGHT TO SHINE- jungwoo)

okay so the next plan

you loved quidditch too, mainly because your brother was the captain for the gryffindor team

so the plan was for you to attend the slytherin v gryffindor match and

mark somewhat willingly agreed to have a friendly match so that hyuck could show off his skills

this was an awful plan

because it was raining the day of the match

so you and jisung huddled together for warmth, shivering as you watched the match

and hyuck couldnt feel worse, he felt like you were now going to be sick because of him

damn, you really couldnt catch a break

the groan of pure frustration yuta let out was amusing at least

he was just as invested in this as haechan at this point

like he was germinating a seed??? he was fathering this relationship

so with another L, haechan felt super super bad

and this baby cooked for you

he got his best friend jaemin to teach him how to make chicken soup

because you were actually not a herbivore

(thats the category i put vegans and vegetarians in)

omnivore tings

so he carried his little pot of soup, his fingers kind of burning as it was piping hot

he legit walked right past a suffering jisung in the slytherin dorm, the pot of soup still in hand not even sparing a thought about taking pity on the poor kid and giving him some

so he walked to your dorm, being let in by mark who was being big bro™️ and looking after your sick ass

you looked dead

pale skin, eyes closed, lips tinted blue, your body was shivering but you felt fucking boiling

peak peak times

but haechan still thought you looked gorgeous

mark vacated the dorms, leaving to his lessons so hyuck could look after you

this wasnt a plan ?? but hyuck rolled with it

setting his lil pot down he sat in a seat next to you, staring at your asleep awake form with closed eyes

his eyes held so much love and adoration for you, you really are lucky

he took off his robe, just sitting there in his shirt, trousers and green tie and watching you sleep

you were actually awake, just vibing and breathing to stay alive

and he had a lot on his chest

"i know ive been a massive prick to you and im really sorry. i know you’re asleep right now but im too much of a coward to say this to your face. i really only just wanted your attention because i seem to have feelings for you and i am sincerely sorry for going about it the wrong way"

your ears were {}

wide open

boy were you listening and taking this all in

oh shit

realizashun xx

so you fluttered your eyes open gently, watching his face morph into an expression of pure terror from his previous one of literal love

*whipping noise*

"youre awake!" he squeaked out, eyes darting around the room to look at anything but you

which you couldnt help but smile at

shifting to the side in your bed slightly, you lifted the covers, lazily patting the now open space

"c’mere"

your voice was kind of croaky and hoarse

that made hyuck feel guilty

baby it wasn’t your fault

but he complied, kicking off his leather school shoes and sliding besides you, staying as far away from you as possible

not to offend you, his heart was just going a million miles a second and there was no way you wouldn’t be able to hear it

this boy was like blushy sausage face part 2

arrogant hyuck has left the chat

you pouted seeing him shuffle away from you, shuffling to move yourself closer instead

power move, he either had to cuddle with you or fall off the bed

"can we just forget what i said earlier?"

that made you frown

the fuck?

hell no

"hyuck wait-"

"no dont bring it up its embarrassing"

whiny baby is back

"hyuck i-"

"nope nope nope nope"

"LET ME SPEAK FOR FUCKS SAKE"

he had no choice but to listen

your voice sounded strained already and he didnt want to make you feel worse

"i have feelings for you too you big baby"

double take

you what now?

haechans mouth just kinda froze open

so you shut his jaw gently

cant let him get jaw ache

"wait what?"

his soul has returned

he felt elated, completely happy, dare i say like he was high on a drug and said drug was not THC it was your TLC (LMAO GET IT IM PROUD OF THAT)

and so thats how mark returned to your dorm room to see you and hyuck cuddled in your bed, your head laying on his chest as his chin rested on your head, nuzzling into your hair (which was still half seafoam green might i add)

hyuck wasnt awake to celebrate, so yumark had their own small celebration, counting this as their success

you only found out he had put the flowers on your bed about two months after you started dating

a month after that you read the letter he gave you

I know one good book serie that does it. And i think that people looking for this will enjoy it/think it's a nice reference for how they could do it. (At least i hope so because i'm non religious so not a great good/bad reference on a topic like this.)

But it's the Magnus Chase series from Rick Riordan. It's made by the author behind Percy Jackson and he also has some other series one of them focussed around Egypt (which i havent read so i'm not making assumptions.)

But for starters this dude focusses his books around the myths/folklores of ancient god's of certain places/times. The Magnus Chase files are focussed around the Norse Mythology. So yes i know the why/how to a muslim character. Because why or how does a muslim walk into Valhalla?

Well, her father turned out to be Loki and she is proudly running a job as a Valkyrie to honer those that fall in battle, she literally escorts the spirits to the let's get ready for doomsday war heaven.

How is she seen in the novels? She's a pretty badass girl when it comes down to the important scenes. Like when they have to deal with some deadly/angry mythical creatures or when she simply needs to trick/outwitt one. In most daily mortal realm parts she will be wearing her hijab (at some point she gets rewarded a enchanted one in a color she loves out of gratitude from one of the norse gods). While she's working as a Valkyrie she tends to not wear one, partially because she thinks it might be odd but mainly because she considers everyone at the spot as family so it's a safe place for her to not wear one.

How she is in the "normal" scenes. Well she is already in a i'm going to be married to x person situation. Why is that? Well because she has been sharing a hard crush on the guy while he has one for her (it's legit a amazing part of cute loving awkwardness when they talk about their relationship situation). For this she always has a chaperone because it would be unsafe for the two young lovebirds to be left alone! Just imagine what could happen! (At some point the chaperone role will be run by her genderfluid half brother/sister who will not hesitate to compliment her on every blush she gets).

How they tackle religious parts such as food? Well the favourite go to place in the mortal realm is this great falafal shop that serves it with delicious hummus. And in Valhalla there is this weird mythical never ending food giving thing being roasted that just literally serves whatever you desire. Like hummus and french fries. Fasting? Well they don't put a hard focus on that just a mental i'm not allowed to complain because she is pulling of the same shit and she's not even eating or drinking how tf does she manage that??? Coming from the main character. Religious prayers are usually times/reasons for her to be late or leave. At one point she semi awkwardly asks the main character if he could watch over her while she does it and we get this moment of slight awe where he doesn't really understand it but he can feel and notice the calmth and comfort of it.

And at the one point where she get asked about why and how she is a muslim while in direct contact with the norse gods her explaination is quite simple "because i refuse to believe that these are the ones in control" which is a fair argument given that Odin is that one dude that's proud of his way too long powerpoint presentations, thor is this smelly mess of a man that just bingewatches shows and heimdall is mainly just busy with memes and cute pictures instead of guarding the realm.

i really really mean it please write muslim characters, it’s really not that daunting literally all you have to do is throw in a few casual qualities.

have them squint uncertainly at the meat options in a restaurant and ask if there’s pork in the sandwich. have them mention on the phone “oh, i’m gonna stop by the mosque first for prayer but i’ll be there soon.” have your hijabi girls squeal over cute scarves in mall store windows and swoon over sparkly pins. have them kindly reject a glass of water and say “oh, i’m fasting today.”

just don’t make their religion their only defining aspect. like??

for most women, wearing hijab is about as casual as wearing a shirt or pants. give me a badass woman on a mission to save the world just like you’d write literally any other badass woman on a mission to save the world— this one just happens to keep her hair in a headscarf and is careful not to eat certain foods?

and not all muslim women wear scarves, a lot of them just choose not to or they decide not right now but they’ll do it later? like, give me a girl who’s absolutely determined to break a world record and halfway through the story she shows up in a headscarf for the first time and it’s no big deal. 

give me a kid who’s on the search for an ancient magical artifact and also they get anxious at some point cause they’re busy but prayer’s gonna start soon and they don’t wanna miss it. have them whip out their phone and search for the nearest mosque. have them find some quiet place to pray alone, like in the corner of a hotel room they just booked while their travel companion’s watching TV with the volume turned down low.

just?? do a bit of research (when are the prayer times, when is ramadan, what are halal foods, mosques in texas, etc.) and write!!! muslim!!! characters!!!

SO I freakin finally finished the FT manga (and here’s what I think)

and I honestly didn’t expect anything else. It was exactly what anyone expected from Fairy Tail. Not that it was bad, but it definitely was not as good as it could’ve been.

Obligatory Spoiler Warning up to Chater 545... obviously...

Not that this franchise had established any sense of being realistic, but probably my least favorite part about the Alvarez arc was that it just wasn’t believable in the slightest. Like it seemed like characters were pulling shit out of there asses every 5 pages. FOr eXAmpLe, where and when tf did Lucy learn to write demon code or whatever?

The PLOT ARMOR OMG why was nobody allowed to die?!?! Like if you’re gonna kill someone, fucking commit to it! There were no consequences for anything! I really wanted to believe that Makarov was dead. I mean it seemed to make sense because he’s old and if he died that would force the younger generation to step up and it would be a nice symbolic thing for the future but NO!! ZERVIS JuST HAD TO REVIVE HIM with the power of sexual tension or something idfk what happened there. So many prominent characters “died” in this arc and for Gajeel, I was like “oh okay what a funky coincidence” and then immediately after Juvia pulled out her Blood Transfusion Magic* card I was over it. And then Juvia lived, and then Iichiya and Anna lived, and Natsu didn’t disappear. Like it’s okay, it’s whatever if they live, just don’t waste time or energy making us think that they die before they end up surviving.

*Was that Blood Transfusion Magic ever been referenced before? Because if it wasn't that they laziest thing I’ve ever seen.

There were some things I liked. I appreciate that most of my questions were answered. Watching piece fall into place and finishing a slow-burn has a weird sense of satisfaction but you also want to know more and it’s this whole thing. 

I mainly appreciated Zeref and Mavis’ own arc. #tbh they're all I really care about. To learn that they conceived a child rocked my world. I was shaken. It a bit depressing that all three of them died, although I still am confused about how Mavis was revived (?) in the first place. Idk. They’re interactions before this arc were so vague and mysterious to me and I wanted to find out what their deal was. And rather than google their backstory I powered through and read the story as I should even though I really didn’t care about anyone else.

I do care about Levy and Wendy though. My beautiful blue-headed babes. Unfortunately, for Levy her character mainly revolves around Gajeel and while that did have an effect on me when he “died,” he didn’t actually die so like... why? Also, the last thing she did was tell him she’s pregnant or something soooo... She did fight like a tiny bit but all I’ve ever wanted was to see Levy hold a tough fight on her own and do well. In every situation she’s been in, she’s cast about 2 spells and then someone else takes over. I get that she’s based more on intellect, but that’s why I want to see her fight. She’s smart and brains can beat brawn any day. Wendy, on the other hand, had some pretty good moments and her character development throughout the series will always be my favorite.

I thought I had more to say, but I can’t remember. I think I got most of it out. I don’t think I will be investing in the 100-year quest or Edens Zero anytime soon. I’m sure eventually I will, ya know, never say never, but I just want to leave this story as it is for now. Who knows, maybe I’ll jump back in when Levy has a kid? I am going to watch the new anime season. I feel like at this point I can’t not. I at least want to see if the anime will take a different route (fingers-crossed). Though with Funimation leaving VRV it’ll be a bit inconvenient for me to do so because now I have to get FuniNow ( @ the trashy people who are about to insult me: Yes I watch dubs get tf outta here with your false sense of superiority based on the fucking language you listen to; I’m too lazy to read subtitles; leave me alone).
