non-working makeup wipes

⇢ ˗ˏˋ gn!reader x xiao

⇢ ˗ˏˋ summary: you were supposed to do xiaos makeup, but the closeness left xiao a little too flustered

⇢ ˗ˏˋ important notes: this is a repost from my old account (@/rainstops)

⇢ ˗ˏˋ a/n: this is probably one of my oldest posts ever, since its also from my old wattpad account, so the formatting and writing and wording is all veeerrryyy weird...

old post masterlist tba !

The theater club was playing a traditional play at a school festival for the first time ever. The preparations were going great and still, the director of the club was stressing all the members of the club.

You weren't a part of the club, but you were close friends with the person who played the main role - Yun Jin. You were just supposed to hold a speech for the audience right before the play, and you were sitting outside, behind the school building, trying to remember your text, but Yun Jin was texting you the whole time, telling you about how annoying the director was and so on. You still had about an hour left before the play and the whole festival in general, started but your school was already filling with people. Thinking about having to hold a speech in front of all these people, was making you incredibly nervous.

But you knew you weren't the only nervous person here.

You gave that a thought. Everyone was stressed and nervous. Especially the people that were supposed to go on stage in an hour. All the people you heard from today were nervous. Especially your friend Lisa, who has spent the last two nights sleepless, trying to improve her make up skills since she was the one who was supposed to do everyone's make up for the traditional play. And everyone had to wear makeup for this play. You tried telling her to go to sleep because it could also interfere with her way of doing make up, but she refused to.

You had to smile thinking about it. It was incredible since she was usually the sleepiest person alive. You were seriously worried that she was going to fall asleep while doing make up too.

Suddenly you got a call. It was Yun Jin.

„Yun Jin you know I'm busy with my text-„,you tried to explain.

„Y/N it's an emergency! Lisa fell asleep and we can't wake her!! How can she fall asleep during her break! And me and Xiao still didn't get out makeup done", she cut you off.

„But what am I supposed to do about it?!", you asked.

„Y/N I know that Lisa told you all about how to do this traditional make up style. We can provide you with pictures and everything but please! You have to help us finish the makeup look!! Our director is going crazy!", she shouted into the phone.

„But Yun-„, you tried to argue but she cut you off again.

„No Y/N please come now!", Yun Jin exclaimed and hung up.

Guess you had no other option than to take a look at the problem.

-

You arrived backstage with a worried looking Yun Jin, a thrice as stressed director as you imagined, and a pretty calm but still annoyed looking Xiao.

„Okay, I'm here", You said.

„Thank god Y/N! Here's the makeup, please just do this, we have about 40 minutes left only!", Yun Jin acknowledged and pushed you into a chair next to a bunch of makeup, as she sat down in front of you.

She knew exactly how to do the make up too, since she's watched Lisa do it for the past 30 minutes. She moved her head accordingly to where it had to be for the next step of applying the makeup. She also reminded you what to do when you forgot a thing or two. The most part of the make up was about the eyes. There was barely any blush or lipstick in the make up style. Yun Jin cooperated really well and you were able to finish the make up quite fast. Xiao was now the only one without the needed makeup. He sat down in front of you, and you immediately started giving his eyes the main color. The eyeshadow was easy to do and to blend out, but your biggest struggle has always been eyeliner. Yun Jin's eyeliner looked quite good so you figured it shouldn't be too hard on Xiao's eyes either. That would've been the case if he hadn't turned his head half away.

„Xiao can you look at me please?", you asked.

He didn't give your wanted reaction though. He only looked at you with his yellow eyes. Not turning his head whatsoever.

You sighed, knowing that there's almost no time left, and you still had to finish this, so you just took his chin between your thumb and index finger, and turned his head towards you. You didn't notice it at first, but his cheeks turned red. Redder than they were supposed to be. After you finished applying his eyeliner, you noticed it.

„Oh your cheeks are quite red... did I apply too much blush...?", you considered while Xiao's eyes were closed and brows were furrowed.

„I'm just gonna wipe it off with a makeup wipe", you added, still holding his chin.

You took a makeup wipe and tried wiping the blush off Xiao's face. That didn't work.

„Weird... it's not coming off. Shit what do I do the play is about to start in 15 minutes... uhhh"

Xiao suddenly took your wrist and removed your hand from his chin. He turned his head away. That's when you noticed that the „blush" was slowly „coming off".

You obviously realized why his face was so red a minute ago.

„So it wasn't make up...", you stated and also had a light pink touch on your face.

„Well then your makeup should be done..!", you added and got up. You were ashamed since you tried rubbing off the natural redness off Xiao's face. You went to talk to Yun Jin. Who witnessed the whole thing with a smug smile on her face.

„Wipe that smile off your face or..."

„Or what? You're gonna wipe it off with a makeup wipe?", Yun Jin teased while your face turned visibly red. She knew that you had a „little" crush on Xiao for a while now.

„Cut it Yun Jin! I need to read my text one more time... the show's gonna in 10 minutes...", you turned away and walked off.

-

You held your speech and watched the play from the back. Still on your mind what happened right before all this...

After the play you hugged Yun Jin telling her how great she was playing the lead role and everything.

„You were awesome!! How are you so good at this!", You cheered.

„Thank you Y/N!", Yun Jin hugged you back.

„Wanna go get something to drink? I heard the cafeteria has something new only for this festival!", you requested.

„Oh my yes of course!... but first I think you should talk to a certain someone...", Yun Jin smirked.

„Yun Jin look if this about what happened before the play then-„, Yun Jin just shook her head and gave you a sign to turn around. You raised an eyebrow but didn't question it any further.

And there was Xiao, standing right behind you.

„Oh! Uh xiao what's-?",

„Meet in the cafeteria in an hour", was all he replied, before walking past you leaving you standing there with your mouth open speechless.

More thoughts on Kai stuck in the never space : (possible AU)

I'm no definitely stuck on the idea that time passes differently there. Ergo, he's been there for a few years, at minimum a decade when finally does get out again at some point

There isn't really lots of common food there (The banished five don't need food to survive in my opinion) so he got used to eating anything eadible. So moss, insects, whatever he can find really

Bonzle is also sharing some of her magical energy with him, so it's easier for him to survive without much food or water. You can imagine it as Kai carrying one of her eyes on a necklace like a blue orb.

Since Bonzle also doesn't have a need for sleep like Kai does, she usually covers guard duty. Without her Kai would probably barely sleep at all (he already does)

At one point Kai ends up picking up magic. Though I'm not sure how exactly yet, he probably goes by gut feeling and a combination of things that Bonzle knows and his experiences with magic users.

Inside the neverspace, there are some other creatures as well. Mostly of magical/mystical nature. Now or then Kai either fights them for practicing magic, or even hunts them for food. (Safe to say, eating magical creatures has some effects on his body as well.)

He then combines his elemental fire with his magic, and through that gets a more flexible fighting style. This definitely helps as he's basically trying to hunt down the other forbidden five inside the neverspace

Bonzle obviously tries to stop him but Kai is to stubborn so she ends up following him anyways to pull him out if a situation gets to dangerous

Kai and Bonzle definitely form a sort of codependency

Bonzle at some point also told Kai about an agent walker she met right before the blood moon, and he figured out the rest

About his looks

You can imagine it, but his clothes are pretty thrown together after so many years, with scraps he can find somehow. His main red is still but barely present after time, but he ends up combining the colors of the other ninja in to remember them better. (When you use magical energy needed for your survival to dye your clothes in other colors.)

His hair grows out, and when it's open Kai pretty much looks like his mom. Most of the time however it's braided with on of Nyas hair ties he still had in his pockets. At one point he also ripped up his ninja mask for some bandaids, and is using the rest of it now as a bandana

He also gets several new scars, be it from experemening with magic, or fights with either the remaining forbidden or other creatures existing in the never space.

That's it for now. I don't wanna put to much stuff in one post, but please tell me if you want more or have ideas foe your own. I also still don't have a proper name idea for this AU/canon divergence, unless I'm somehow predicting s2 part 2 but that would be wild.

"The dragon accompanied the Lord of Geo, fighting campaigns alongside him in the four corners of the world."

↠ Hey. So I guess I'm still here, barely. Still wickedly unmotivated. But I've been working on this piece for the past few weeks, and finally completed it. I'm incredibly proud of the final result, so figured I'd toss it into the void here. Maybe it'll get seen. I dunno. Again, feel free to ignore my analysis below.

As stated in a previous post, my top-favourite Genshin character, without question, is Zhongli/Morax/Rex Lapis. Firstly, I love the regality and poise of his design visually. Second, the voicework of Keith Silverstein is stunning. There's so much age, pensiveness, grief, and power in the way he breathes life into the Geo Archon, it's always a joy to listen to him. In terms of writing, one of the aspects I'm most drawn to is the tragedy of his bond with Azhdaha. The idea of such a long friendship being eroded by time and circumstance is a kind of bitter sadness that I think hits extremely deep, for most people.

In terms of my illustration, I decided to re-imagine Zhongli's outfit, trading out his usual clothes for more battle-ready garb. It's clear that he has decidedly specific- sometimes opulent- tastes, so the fabric is silk, with a style reminiscent of traditional high-collared Chinese designs. I decided to keep the earring and hair to make the character recognizable. For his armor, I wanted to keep it loose, since he's markedly lithe and acrobatic in combat. The pauldron portrays a carving of his former exuvia- I decided to bring in draconic elements/shapes, since it's clear he has a deep affinity for the creatures themselves.

For the background- since I'm terrible at them- I decided to reference the Chasm. For Azhdaha, I stayed entirely loyal to his design, which was a massive undertaking- I honestly didn't realise how intricate it was, until I had to figure it out myself. I did also try to bring some semblance of perspective and scale, so hopefully that comes across well enough.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with how this came out. I've been trying to tackle larger works, and attempt things I've either rarely done (stylized art,) or completely avoided (backgrounds/environments.) And honestly, it felt pretty healing to sit down and illustrate a character that I see so much of myself in.

HAPPY TURTLE TUESDAYYY TMNT FANDOMMM!!!! I have a treat for y'all artists who love to make TMNT OCs!!! If you love the 2012 era, you're gonna love this one too!!!

A FREE TO USE TMNT DARK HORIZONS FLASH GAME CHARACTER SELECT TEMPLATE, MADE FROM THE ACTUAL GAME SPRITES!!! (Scroll below for the Google Drive of the files, credits first to the artist though sorry! :D)

(ft also the fancy animation particles for when you get to this menu, for those who wanna add it too! (( the GIF is the raw version, without the effect settings/scripts added in Flash tho.)))

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND!! I DID NOT CREATE THESE ASSETS, NOR HAVE I DRAWN THEM

(I am an artist posting this, who has replicated the game's art as a fan, so I want to disclose clearly, that these are NOT MY WORKS HERE.)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give all the credit to the SENIOR ART DIRECTOR working on this Flash game, Damian Aliberti and his team of artists from Quadramma (I could not find sources online that confirm who are said artists unfortunately, so I can only credit the art-director for now)!!!

He even made a page about this project, for his portfolio! Check it out, it's AWESOME!! (CLICK MEE / TAP MEEE)

^I didn't know they planned to bring this to mobile, so you can predict that I'm happy, that this game is still seemingly loved by the Italian studio that made it seemingly. x) (I can only assume they're Italian, due to the file-names, don't quote me on this though, barely any info exists on this Flash game as you can predict LOL)

GOOD NOW THAT YOU HOPEFULLY READ WHO MADE THE PRETTY ART: CLICK ME OR TAP ME FOR THE GOOGLE DRIVEE (drive provides the GIF, a PSD, SAI2, PNG and MDP file!! [the joys of owning several art programs, making this much more accessible to people :v])

btw, also like..Maybe not use this for commercial/profit purposes though, that'd be profiting off resources you didn't make, and that are copyrighted. I don't think that's legal. :"v

NO CREDIT REQUIRED. COMPLETELY F2U. I did not after all make the assets, nor will claim so. :V as I mentioned, I extracted these from the actual game, which is why these are all so crisp and nice looking, instead of me using a snipping tool like 2 yrs ago for my fun challenge of recreating the game's artstyle LOL

I do NOT claim these assets or the art I've extracted as my own, this is all purely from the game, and very obviously, these are I guess, owned by Nickelodeon, so I ask you ofc do not...Do some legally questionable things w/ this stuff sdfklsd, pls behave fans, I'd rather not get reported for something I didn't do for providing this to the internet. xD

--

Whilst credit would be nice, and linking back to this would be even nicer for other fans who might just like me,, wanna replicate this cool game's aesthetic sdfskldglk, it's optional, completely LOL. It did only take like 2 hrs to piece this stuff together, to look like a real screenshot thank god. xD

FEEL FREE TO SHOW ME IF YOU ALSO DRAW IN THE GAME'S STYLE OR WANNA BANTER ABOUT TMNT OCS OROROR YKNOW USED THE THING AND WANT ME TO SEE ITTTT I GLADLY STARE AT TMNT POSTS NO MATTER WHAT ERAAAAA~

I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO APPRECIATE THIS GAME'S ARTSTYLE NGL. THAT'S ALL I WANT. And if more ppl also would wanna draw in it it'd make me so happy. I am like...The most acoustic TMNT fan out there man, I have the weirdest wishes in mind xD

Hope anyone wants this orrr like needs it orr dreamt of doing this too orrrr just never thought about doing it, but now that a free template is out there, someone might also wanna do it!! I love whenever like- fandom templates and stuff is made. I plan to maybe make this a Toyhou.se code too, since I do have the raw files of the games and could try to see if I can replicate the animations and stuff and make it non-premium and premium!

(Maybe I should make fandom codes more often in general tho at the topic of that, did it before for Terraria and helped out w/ a Monster High code, to give it a mobile compatible version LMAO)

If anyone or me figures out the artists behind the sprites, I'd gladly show them too, bc GORGEOUS GAME MAN!!!! THEY DESERVE ANY PRAISE THEY GET FOR THE ART AND THE GAME ITSELF ANSAHSHAJS, here I go again I swear, I'm done yapping now. I should participate in internet olympics when it comes to writing essays in every post I ever made. xD

[fullbrave]

if i was going to make a direct sequel to bravely default 2 (and don't think i won't. move over team asano) here's how i would do it

friends and family alike will be shocked to learn that i'd borrow heavily from bravely second. not just in terms of style and gameplay qualities that i want to bring back, but also in the sense that i'd make a party comprised of two new guys and two returning guys. if you would guess that the two guys i'm choosing to return to the party are elvis and adelle, then you know me well, but you would be half wrong this time. i'm picking SETH and adelle. my reasons for this are twofold:

firstly, i just think that gloria and elvis have the most potential to be interesting as non-playable characters the way agnès and ringabel were. the newly crowned queen of a fallen kingdom? the laid-back scholar whose kindness transcends age-old conflicts? hell yeah, tell me more!

(in trying to boil post-bd2 elvis down to his bare essentials there i almost made myself CRY but seriously!! i can see him serving in some official capacity as ambassador to mag mell but at the same time being so unserious about it. have i ever told you guys i love him)

(by the way, in this game i would bring back the whole rebuilding-a-destroyed-thing minigame. we're rebuilding musa. it's right there. seth can be the guy in the party who's in charge of the rebuilding effort because you KNOW he would offer to do absolutely anything he can for gloria)

(bravely) secondly, and more importantly, seth and adelle both have personal character stuff the first game left unresolved that really bothers me. seth is obviously the more notable case of the two but i also wanted the game to dive deeper with adelle sooooo bad.

if one of the new guys was the Main Character™ then seth would have to be written differently to fit a supporting role (like tiz was!) and i think this could work wonders for him. a sequel would be a perfect opportunity to make him less of a vague plot device, more of a person.

and then with adelle, of course you can get into figuring out what the FUCK happened to edna to make her end up like that — something happens to make this relevant again in a way that adelle can no longer ignore, which i imagine has been her coping strategy up until now.

you know, i almost held back from saying more about adelle because i was like "this is too self-indulgent..." bitch, in my self-indulgent bravely default post? on my self-indulgent bravely default account? please. i'm going to say more: for reasons i actually won't expand on here because i feel like it's digressing i think adelle becomes the next fairy queen post-game, but i also don't think it's a smooth transition. i don't think she sees herself as a leader, and she's still carrying a lot of guilt over everything edna did, so she'd be pretty resistant to this idea. but i do think people would WANT her to lead. so i guess she's just going to have to go do some soul-searching and figure out what she wants to do! perhaps on some kind of journey, or adventure, accompanied by three other guys... (not unlike edea's bsel character arc, now that i think of it!)

this goes without saying, because i'm me, but i'd also want to flesh out the fairy lore a whole lot more. i need to know so much more information about bd2 fairies right now. yesterday. two years ago, even. who's with me? so that's another great reason to keep adelle in the party. maybe one of the new guys can also be a fairy. that'd be fun. just throwing out random ideas now.

edit: oh i knew i was gonna forget something. this didn't occur to me until i was posting my broken-ass twitter thread, but of course the original protags would all have new designs in this game, and adelle's could proudly include elements from her fairy form, because she doesn't have to hide anymore... this is important to me.

regarding crystals, seth and adelle keep their blessings, but the water and earth crystals choose new guys for whatever reason. if elvis and gloria are missing from parts of the story for reasons similar to agnès and ringabel that could be interesting, and would explain this — that doesn't necessarily have to be the case though. as we saw with sloan and aileen, the crystals can just kinda choose a new guy whenever, and i can also very much see gloria and elvis being retired from the hero of light business on purpose. i think i prefer that idea, in fact; it's a choice that makes sense for both of them in a way that it wouldn't for the other two, in my opinion.

a new party means a new fun little acronym, though! AGES had its day, now it's time for something new. on twitter i joked that the new acronym should be SWAG because i couldn't think of anything serious, but then i realized: if it's going to be a key part of the story that you're rebuilding gloria's kingdom, obviously it should be MUSA instead. so brb i will now be making up some bravely ocs whose names start with M and U.

"but puck, seth can't be a supporting character because the player gets to name him in the first one!" way ahead of you. another thing i'm doing is retconning that moment at the end of bd2 when it would have been perfect for seth to reveal what his real name is because that was SUCH A WASTE! i totally don't think about this every day of my life or anything, but i just think that making a big deal out of the fact that the party's initials spell out an important word despite the fact that the player has the power to mess this up for literally no reason is the height of nonsense, so this is not how i would do things. personally ❤️

so you can name my new protagonist guy but whatever name you choose has to fit the MUSA acronym. just kidding, you can't name them. sorry women

(incidentally, if i couldn't bring seth and adelle back, and i was in charge of making a brand new party, i would make their initials spell REVO. nothing but respect for my president.)

when i thought about the way bravely second brought back most of the asterisks from the first game, i wasn't sure at first of how best to pull that off in this game, but then it hit me. elvis has them. every time you want to get one of the jobs from the first game you have to go fight elvis. square enix you can USE these ideas just GIVE ME CREDIT.

but that doesn’t mean all the asterisk holders who are still alive aren't around! they are! in fact i think it’d be funny if they were all part of the sidequests for their respective asterisks but every sidequest still ends with you fighting elvis for some reason. i won't bring any dead asterisk holders back because as fun as it was, that too was the height of nonsense. “couldn’t you just use the stone portal things from bd2 to allow the player to fight asterisk holders, dead or alive?” sure but i like my idea better.

(in fact it kind of gives me plot ideas. maybe elvis has been entrusted with the asterisks but it comes to light that someone is making NEW ONES and the party is charged with finding out who it is and what their deal is. could be a fun way to explain why there's new jobs!)

anyway, i ensure that revo comes back to write the music by offering him a trillion dollars, which i have. seth's new special theme is called "the seafarer's skills tame the storm... 2!" and adelle's is called "please stop praying for the wandering flame she's risen too high she broke out of the hospital". the game itself will be known as bravely default². thank you, and GOOD NIGHT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally some peace and quite. 

You close your front door and sink to the floor. Moving is hard. Your apartment is all furnished and the way you wanted it. You've moved from the countryside to the big city. You sigh and get up and walk to the fridge. Shit. 

The fridge was bare, time to go to the corner shop. You grab your headphones and put on your trainers. Let's figure out where this shop is. 

You lock your front door and pick your music and started to walk to the shop. 

Now playing ~ As it was by Harry Styles 

It was a 10 minute walk from your apartment to the shop. "Hello" you said to the shop owner as the bell rang when you walk through the door. The wall by the door was filled with posters of clubs and items to be sold around the borough like 'dance class' and 'Ford Focus for sale', you smile and made your way round the shop still bopping to the music. 

"Y/N!" A muffled voice called. You turn and there stood Sophie your best friend. She lived around the corner from you and was the one who got the apartment.  "Hey! You found the shop then" Sophie said lightly pushing your arm. You take out the headphone and smiled.  "Yeah, I just can't decide what to have for my dinner, it's between a carbonara ready meal or a pot noodle" you giggle. She pulls your hand away with a massive smile on her face.  "You don't need any of that, how would you feel about going to one of the best hang outs in London with me tonight?" She smirked and you raise your eyebrow.  "Go on" you were hesitant, she wasn't very reliable but guess your first night in London would be a good one. She pulls you out of the store and round the corner.  "What's the catch?" you say.  "I know a guy who knows a guy-"  "Get to the point soph" you laugh. "Well you have to get really dressed up and there may be some celebs there like owners of company's and actors ect" she whispered like it was some sort of classified club.  You look her in the eye and could see she might actually be serious this time.  "Fine, come back with me and let's get ready, this better not be one of your silly party's where the owner of said company is your dads brother who owns your local chippy" you roll your eyes at her. "You're going to love it my little cherub" she pinches your cheek and you both walk back to the apartment. 

"WHERE THE FUCK IS MY NECKLACE!" Sophie shouted from the bathroom.  "It's in here" you walk into the bathroom dangling her necklace infront of her face. You both laugh and she looked me up and down.  "Damnnn girl, your gunna pull tonight, I can feel it" she smirked. 

You are wearing this: 

Your hair was lightly curled and you have very minimal makeup and some tie up heels.  You smile as you walk to the mirror.  "You really think so?" You asked while fixing your hair.  "I know so" Sophie smiled and kiss your cheek. 

She was wearing: 

She went to these things all the time, or so she said.  " you ready?" She smirked and takes your hand. You were hoping the party wasn't far because you know you weren't going to last in these heels. You grabbed your handbag and you both set off.  "I booked us an Uber so we should be there in about 20 minutes" she said as you both walked down the stairs outside your apartment. you are nervous. Sophie didn't tell you much about where it was, who was gunna be there but, she did tell you how to act.  "You have to act like your confident and you have money but try and be yourself" she gave a grin.  "Right, I'll try my best" You answer as our Uber pulled up. She grabs your hand and pulls you into the taxi. 

You both pull up to this building that had about 25 floors and was covered in pretty lights and foliage.  "Thank you" You gulp as Sophie paid the Uber and got out. You sort your dress and hair as you turn to Sophie.  "I don't know if I can do this" You say nervously.  "Yes, yes you can, you look gorgeous and we are going to be the hottest people here" she grabs and squeezes your hand.  You've never met anybody that had a lot of money before let alone a celebrity. Breath Y/N, breath

You both walk up to the door and the doorman opens it.  "Welcome ladies, enjoy your evening" he said as he smiled and looked at you both. You nod and walk into the main reception area. It was huge inside, like a Tardis. You both slowly walked to the lift and got in. You are glad Sophie knows where's she's going. 

"Oh my god, hello Darling" a voice said as the lift door opened.  "Hello my lovely, how have you been?" Sophie smiled and walked into the lift and hugged this tall man with blonde slicked back hair. They chatted while you walked into the lift. He must of come up from the basement parking.  "Oh Y/N I'm so sorry, this is Jamie, he's the first person who talked to me at my first party a while ago" she turns to you with an excited look. You smile and he pulls you into a hug. You cant believe who you just hugged. After being a twilight fan since you were 13, you were shaken to think you had just hugged Jamie Campbell Bower.  "Hello darling, lovely to meet you, Sophie why didn't you tell me you had gorgeous friends" Jamie smiled as he looked at your dress then back up at you. Jamie was wearing a white shirt with a suit jacket and some chains attached to his grey trousers, and some black Chelsea boots.  "Lovely to meet you too, you look great!" You say. Your voice was shaky, and you needed a drink. An alcoholic one, fast.  "Oh you both have to meet my new friend Joe, I'm working with him on a new tv show, he's just the best" he smiled as the lift opened. You both nodded as he let you both out the lift first. 

Jamie led you guys to the party and to the bar.  "Let me get you both a drink, porn star martinis okay?" He said as he stood with his hand around Sophie's waist turning to you. You smile and nod "Thank you so much" You shyly said whilst looking around. You noticed a few famous people. Your hands were shaking. There was Jamie, the CEO of Spotify, Hugh grant and a couple others amongst some other rich people.  "Here you go gorgeous" Jamie handed you your drink and kissed your cheek. Blushing, you gave big eyes at Sophie. You couldn't believe she was actually telling the truth this time.  "Let me introduce you to some people I know before Joe gets here" Jamie smiled and guided you both to a group of people and we started to chat. Some music played lightly in the background. 

45 minutes passed, you and Sophie were dancing with Jamie and a couple of his friends on the low lit dance floor. You had a couple more drinks and it was making your nerves a lot more bearable. 

"Jamie!" A strange voice hollered from the side of the dance floor.  Jamie ran over to where the voice was coming from and you moved closer. You could here the mumbles of Jamie and this man. Hello mate, you okay?  The voice was soft and he was definitely British.  "Ladies this is my good friend Joseph Quinn" Jamie exclaimed as he moved and joe appeared.  Our eyes locked.  "Hello ladies, you alright?" Joe said softly. He moved towards Sophie and gave her a hug and a light kiss on the cheek. He moved towards you and did the same. You felt your cheeks go red. This man was perfect!  He was wearing a white shirt with some corduroy brown trousers and some boots. He had a silver chain around his neck and brown sunglass on his curly brown hair. You couldn't stop staring, You wanted this man. 

"Shall we go outside for a ciggy" Jamie said and motioned us to follow. We walked outside onto the balcony and a light breeze fell upon you and blew your hair.  "Have you got a lighter Quinn, you always seem to have mine you have stolen" Jamie smirked as he put a cigarette between his lips. Joe laughed and pushed his arm. Luckily you smoked and so did Sophie. "Isn't he yummy," Sophie mouthed to you. You give her a look.  "Here you go sweet" Joe said as he hands you a cigarette.  "Thank you" You muster up the courage to speak. You were totally in awe of this man. He smiles at you with his deep brown eyes. Joe held out his lighter to the cigarette between your lips and lit your cigarette. He winks and puts the lighter back in his pocket. We all stood on the balcony and had some small talk while looking out at the London skyline. Jamie again has his arm around Sophie's waist and you were just stood like a lemon next to Joe trying to look as sexy as possible while smoking a cigarette and holding a drink.

Trying something new bc im bored. Please imagine all the parenthesis are footnotes.

I have decided I'm going to watch the new Ghibli movie when it comes out. I saw ads for it in Japan (just posters on the movie theater wall at the mall, they intentionally didn't advertise the movie At All before releasing it there) and it was more intriguing than some of the other movies coming out (looking at you, ghibli look-alike about a chair??? who okayed that premise) but the timing wasn't right, plus I'd have to watch it all in actual Japanese and while I could do that for something simple like Way of the Househusband (great movie btw but I didn't know enough lore apparently) I figured I'd want to follow this one a bit better. Plus, my boy Yonezu Kenshi contributed to the soundtrack, so I have to watch it to support.

This movie is the first in a while (I'm not googling to see if this is correct) with the old duo of Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi, and while there have been....other movies in the last 10 or so years....miss little witch etc was never very compelling for me. But based on the barely-over-a-minute trailer...I'm ready. We've got the creepy soundtrack, the same solid style, but somehow a level up in the animation?! some random old ladies, cute spirits, it's got it all. What it also has, very importantly, is a war reference. We all know Miyazaki remains heavily influenced by his nostalgia of wartime Japan (and aren't all of us (Please Read/Watch In This Corner Of The World)) so it's not surprising to see some bombings here. Some fire there. I'll bet you $5 there will be a plane in there somewhere. Mans loves his planes.

Anyway add onto that the ~mystical elements~ weebs like to love about Japan (please read Orientalism by Edward Said also) and I'm sure this will sell well. And I'm also sure, I'm probably gonna love it lmao

I was reading the official description on GKids which I guess is the site of the producer and distributer in America, and they mention Yonezu, my boy, right under Miyazaki. Joe isn't there. Poor guy. Anyway they say about Yonezu: "After posting a series of Vocaloid tracks under the moniker Hachi, Kenshi Yonezu distinguished himself from the crowd with remarkable results." This is. a severe understatement. I think I might end up writing my thesis on Vocaloid and the impact it STILL has on children today in America and Japan (my kids always played popular songs during lunch/cleaning and during sports, basically anytime the broadcast club had control; some of the kids in the art club literally only drew Ms Miku fanart) and amongst that Huge Library of Music (I won't call it a genre bc thats not what it is), Hachi was like. Top 10 if not Top 5 if not Top 3 most popular. If you listened to vocaloid at all before 2016 you know Matryoshka. That's Hachi. He was a wonder to all of us middle schoolers. More recently, he came out with Sand Planet, about the way time has changed Vocaloid and the people who enjoy and produce it. It was also really cool.

I learned about his Real Name career a bit after it had happened. I stumbled on Mad Head Love one day on my youtube rabbit holes, and it slapped, and I was like oh it's that guy. But then I lost track, forgot his name, and generally wished him well from afar. And then ! I refound him! And have loved him ever since (not really some of his recent stuff is weird but - actually hang on lemme actually write this)

Recently, and I mean in the last oh 3 or so years, he's done what a lot of popular Japanese artists do - make anime music. Some of it's okay, some of it is Absolutely His Thing, and some of it is like every other anime op ever and not very impressive. Spinning Globe (the song in this movie) is Pretty Good I think. I listened to it while crying on the plane on the way back to America. The lyrics are simple and easy to understand, it's got his plodding beat and an easy background. I could probably transcribe the piano part in 15 minutes. "The day I heard a voice patting me on the back, telling me to go ahead" is like. well it was really relevant to my personal time in Japan and a lot of the issues I've been facing so maybe I'm biased!

Yonezu is so popular that he literally wrote a song for the Tokyo Olympics. He represents Japan. He has been a top singer in Japan for 10 years. This started with his landslide take over of Vocaloid music. Even my students who didn't know literally any celebrity knew him. And I know this is the English website so they probably don't expect anyone to know who he is, and don't care about the understatement, but listen. Yonezu if you're out there and you want anyone to write you PR in English. I've got u.

The Japanese title is 君たちはどう生きるか. It's based on a book of the same name from 2016. I'd literally translate that title as "How do you live" with the 'you' being plural, like 'you all'. I don't know anything about it. It's apparently semi-autobiographical. But they've chosen to translate the title as "The Boy and the Heron," the choice of which could be a thesis in itself. But I wish it had come out just a little sooner, because one of my favorite games to play with my kids was getting them to guess titles to ghibli movies in English and they would've lost their minds over this one.

📚 Hello! 

I am Kat (she/her, 23). I have never sent my own ask lol I’m still figuring out how to write them so bare with me!!

🌸 Fandom:

Novel: The Secret History.

🌸 Ship:

Richard Papen/Henry Winters. (With myself as Henry!)

🌸 Plot:

I want to set this RP pretty early in the story during the time that Richard was working on campus for the winter, and Henry arrives early from Rome and finds Richard in the warehouse. I’m happy to steer away from the canon story and I want to focus on mainly that arc, and the winter they spent living together in Henry’s apartment with him taking care of Richard. I haven’t thought any further than that but it was my favourite arc of the book and one I would love to write for.

🌸 Info about me/Requirements:

My writing style is literate/novella! If you can’t match at least a min of 300 words, I probably won’t be into the RP all that much. Please be descriptive and semi-lit, I always put my all into my replies and expect my partner to extend the same courtesy with proper grammar and capitalization! (I won’t respond to the all lower text in the RP itself).

I ask that anyone who contacts me be at least 20+ but 18+ is okay too. I DO NOT feel comfortable roleplaying with minors so please keep this in mind and please don’t lie about your age.

I also love talking ooc and plotting together with my partners and gushing over the characters; I enjoy making playlists and vision boards for current plots, things like that! OOC is not a big requirement but I’m not against it!!

Please be active/consistent because I try my best to be too :)) If you have to be off for more than a couple of days please let me know, don’t just ghost without saying anything. (I'm in the British/English time zone, by the way!)

I only write on discord too! 

🌸 Like this ad, comment or message me here and I’ll try to reply as quick as I can! :)) thank you!!

[arrowheadedbitch]

Yep still going haha

Look at this bagdeee

No wonder Lassie wants a piece

Of course he wants to hit THAT

It's an undeniably sexy badge

Wayy better than those losers at the fbi

Shawn is forced to pull out his badge for something and Lassie faints when he sees it

He forgets how to speak entirely

@pineapple-psychic "mouth dry, struggling to breath, cannot focus on anything else, staring at the badge and shawn and going HHHNNNNGG"

The gang is worried he's having another stroke

Shawn's plan B if it ever gets revealed that he was never a psychic is to admit he's CIA and pretend it was a mission that got out of hand 👀

After Shawn gets his CIA job back, Gus is constantly noticing him paying for stuff with money he KNOWS he did *not* get from Psych

When asks Shawn just shrugs like he doesn't know where the money came from

Gus is very confused and kinda concerned to say the least

The DESPEREAUX dynamic thooo

I do kinda like to imagine Despereaux as separate tho, he mentions Despereaux to any of his friends (or bosses) in the CIA and they're like ????? Who is this twink you've been chasing? Why are you chasing this guy??? Your side job is so fucking weird, man.

I think the funniest thing is that in the ring episode, he pretends to be fbi

Like he COULD have pretended to be something he ACTUALLY was but he said No, fuck that, FBI

Can't have anyone suspecting he's tied to the CIA so he's gotta go FBI

And also he SAYS fbi then ACTS sooo cia which is even funnier

Most of the 57 weren't actually jobs, he's just counting all the covers he used for ✨️espionage ✨️

Sorry to bring back up the CIA au but it's all I've been thinking about all week,

I wanna see everyone, especially Henry, react to things he learned from the CIA

Henry KNOWS he didn't teach him that, how tf did he learn that, HENRY can't even do that

When asks he vaguely reference his "training" and now Henry is going crazy trying to figure out when he taught that

Imagine they catch Shawn and Scarlet sparring (literally just fighting, this barely counts as sparring)

They both are going over the top, it feels like a scene from a movie, scarlet jumps on a table and Shawn yells at her and she goes "Don't aim a gun at me scarlet, don't jump on the table scarlet, GOD you are impossible to please!", which is concerning, especially since Shawn is just *frustrated* about it

There's acrobatics, actual technique, they're throwing each other around like crazy, they're halfway talking in french

It'd be a great scene

If love to see the LOOK on everyone's faces

Especially Henry's

"Shawn, where did you learn to do all that??"

"My training"

"I DID NOT TEACH YOU THAT"

See also "Shawn, what do you mean you can withstand torture????" "I was trained against it." "Henry WHAT"

I just realised that Scarlet is pretty much just my own take on a River Song style character

She's just River Song but a different angle or smthn

You know those ||creepy serial killer apologists|| you see? Well I just had the thought that CIA Shawn has probably stopped some big bad guys and imagine he meets someone who is an apologist for some guy that he got locked up, and it wasn't an easy lock up, he got caught and ||tortured|| by this guy and this chick is talking about how he doesn't deserve to be locked up

And she's going on and on about how he isn't that bad a guy and Shawn's like "||He tortured people! You do know he tortured people, right?!||" and she responds "||Oh I'm sure it wasn't *that bad*. I bet all the people that reported him were just being *dramatic*.||" and Shawn is sitting there, eyes twitching, trying not to kill this bitch on the spot

@obsidiancreates "He pretends to be sent a psychic vision by a victim and described his own experience in detail"

Gus is sitting there like 👁👄👁 wut

@obsidiancreates ""Shawn how did-" "Let's not talk for a while""

I bet she doesn't even change her mind, those serial killer apologists are creepy and scary, like they genuinely scare me

Moving on to lighter territory, my girlfriend said it would be funny if all 57 of Shawn's jobs were under the CIA

He's just counting all his covers

@obsidiancreates ""This is a matter of national security." "I GET TO DRIVE THE WEINERMOBILE""

(Sid writes some of the best fanfiction I've ever seen and that might be the best line they've ever written)

You know that scene where Shawn is like "What, she's running!? In THOSE heels??" I think it'd be funny if he thought only CIA Agents could run in heels

For a split second he's like "Is this woman one of us,wtf??"

Back to the CIA thing for just a second because I feel like im gonna throw up if I don't share this idea right now, Operation Jury Duty is where Shawn goes on an elongated rant in the middle of the courtroom when Scar needs them distracted for some reason

He keeps going until she gives the signal that he can stop, the longest she ever made him keep going was 2 and a half hours

He was sooo mad at her. He was out of breath from nonstop talking and he looked like the craziest man alive

Making Shawn look dumber and crazier than usual is a feat that he is not happy she achieved

And that's all I have for now! ✨️🥳💕✨️🎉

PT6/6 ♡

Okay guys, time for a long overdue post

Welcome to my CIA!Shawn au

And yes most of this is copy-pasted from discord, leave me be

AU where Shawn used to be a spy 👀👀👀

Old spy partner coming to sb to ask for Shawn's help 👀

I'm more interested in how it would affect the *Despereaux* dynamic tbh

And yeah the traveling the world thing with the many many jobs was the perfect cover

Imagining secret agent Shawn au, him and his partner (her name is scarlet but he usually calls her one of those BAD James Bond ones) have a tactic they call Operation Stick It To The Man

Her name changes every mission like he pretends gus does, because she's a spy so sometimes she's Scarlet and other times she Sara or Debbie or whatever, ykniw

Stick it to the man: It's probably just Shawn goes in and fucks shit up, how he does it is up to him, judgement call, but being destructive is encouraged, while she sneaks in

Also, I don't know why I do this to myself but I came up with her real identity and it's Scarlet Featherman, don't ask why, it quite literally came to me in a dream

And yes she is fine with Shawn calling her Pussy Galore, she thinks is just as funny as he does

I love aus where it's like "Yeah, no, Shawn has had a SUPER high profile job before, in fact maybe he still has it now"

This includes but is not limited to "Oh no, he's a cop, just for a different department." "Yeahh Shawn is in the CIA, he's keeping so many government secrets right now" and "Shawn was a spy. He kinda left the organize and kinda didn't, it's complicated, let's go break something!"

The last one is mine btw lol

I've been thinking about it nonstop for daysssss

If I write it I'm naming the fic "Agent P as in Pineapple"

New OC: Scarly Feather

Lesson learned: Don't be eepy when thinking out an au

This is where we got a more specific channel and I moved there so I'll call that a good ending point

PT 1/?

[simp4ace]

oh my... that is quite sad indeed. your writing is so good I assumed you'd have some requests. nonetheless let me give you one!! I was thinking, what would monster trio + usopp do with an s/o that sleeps in really awkward positions (like, crazy sleeper) since I myself am one and I'm curious jaja. (and I also hope you have a good day/night 😌✨)

a/n: aww thank you so much for your kind words😭😭😭 you're really thoughtful for sending an ask before requesting (yk, thanks to your ask, one of my friends also sent me a request too so I have 2 requests for the first time ever omg😳) also I read your request and I was like ok this is so me ngl😨 i'm a crazy sleeper too so hehe it's been so fun writing this hc I hope you will like it🤗❤ *send hugs lots of love*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MONSTER TRIO + USOPP with S/O who sleeps in awkward positions

Monkey D. Luffy

first of all, you guys are two peas in a pod

why that? cause omg, Luffy himself is the craziest sleeper either, even worse than you

whenever you two share the same bed, you guys always find yourselves waking up in the most ridiculous position one can ever imagine

from time to time, you and Luffy even wake up with bruises all over your body, because both of you somehow end up accidentally hitting each other while asleep.

not to mention that there has to be someone falling out of bed, all the time, mostly you

this doesn't help with your back pain either

so no, Luffy is definitely not someone who you can share your bed with, such a cruel fate but you gotta move on if you wanna save your spine, darling.

Roronoa Zoro

he doesn't have a problem with sleeping position, and he doesn't have a problem with your style of sleeping either

you sleep with ur butt higher than ur head? so what it's not his business after all. you sleep with ur legs bent at a 180-degree angle? well, as long as you have a good slumber he couldn't care less.

but when Zoro hears you complain about the back pain you receive from sleeping in awkward positions, he'll try his best to help

at first, he would try to wake up every time he hears you rolling out of bed to pull you back and lay you down properly.

but damn, after three times in a roll he finds it is so tiring

finally end up holding you tight in his arm until morning so that you won't be able to move around and he can have a decent sleep at last

a win-win situation but now you have a problem waking up to Zoro's hot bare chest, (and that's not necessarily good for your heart)

at least your back will be safe then.

Sanji

oh no this man still find you hella cute even though you sleep in the weirdest posture ever

but he does know that it is not good for your body, so he would try to figure out some way to help

at first, he would learn from Zoro ( and no he won't admit that) to hold you when you sleep, but end up he's the one who not getting enough rest cuz he's too excited to have you in his arm the whole night

try to find another way like putting pillows around you? waking up in the middle of the night to correct your posture? nothing really works out sadly

but Sanji will give you a back and shoulder massage every morning, hoping that helps at least

will also massage you whenever you are in pain, he's more than happy to do so, cuz aw isn't Sanji the most thoughtful boyfriend ever?

Usopp

*gasp* I'm gonna tell you a secret but please don't get mad at him, ok?

so this guy here has an album full of pictures taken when you're asleep

no, more than one, he has a whole collection there, capturing you in the most awkward position ever with the dumbest face ever you don't wanna know

he thinks you're cute tho, and a little bit impressive cuz how can you sleep well in that pose? he finds that kinda amazing

his room is full of patches and pillows for you whenever you are in pain

he even invented a medicine once in order to help you relieve back pain but they were all withdrawn by Chopper

pretty chill with all this and even tease you when you wake up, cuz who isn't a crazy sleeper at least one?

but don't worry all your photos are safe with him and he will take them to the grave so yeaaah

Protecting What Matters Most

Din Djarin x F!reader

No y/n

Word Count: 2.4K

Rating: T (I think)

Warnings: slight misogyny (pretty sure that's how I should describe it), arguing, cursing, allusion to sexual assault, canon style violence (fighting, hitting, shooting), mentions of mental and emotional abuse and manipulation. If I missed any or labeled something wrong please let me know.

Summary/comments: When you take action to protect Din, he doesn't react how you would expect him to. Just a kinda self-indulgent fic of Din comforting me and making me feel loved and not worthless.

A/N: My first fic, finally! This took forever and a day. And it wasn't even the one I was intending to put out as my first fic. But after some stuff going on in my personal life I just needed something to kinda vent and also be comforted. I know there are a ton of Din comfort fics out there. But this is my spin on it. Also, there's no Grogu simply because I couldn't figure out where to fit him in. So either imagine it pre or post Grogu or that he's away with one of the few people Din would trust him with.

gif credit: @communistkenobi (if you don't want me using your gif, please let me know)

He's pissed. You can tell that just by how he's gripping your wrist and practically dragging you back to the ship. He's usually so cautious with you. Even when he pushes you out of the way of danger. But the way he's gripping your wrist right now, it's almost on the verge of being painful. He also hasn't said anything in a while. Sure he's usually not much of a talker but this not talking feels different.

When you're back at the ship you expect him to let go of you as soon as you board. But his grip on you doesn't lessen, even as he spins around to close the ramp. It also doesn't lessen once the ramp is closed. He just stands there, shoulders rising and falling with how hard he's breathing. "Din?"

This is one of the few times since meeting him that you're glad you can't see his face. But that's the thing, you can. When his head snaps towards you, you see it. Hidden behind the visor and under the helmet, you see the rage that is clearly on his face. You try to take a step back but he still has a hold of your wrist. He lets go before reaching for your other hand and ripping the blaster that you didn't even realize you were still holding out of it. You let out a sigh as he stomps over to the weapons closet to return the blaster to its rightful place before slamming the doors shut. This whole interaction is starting to scare you. Even when you walked on eggshells when you first joined him and actually were scared doesn't compare to this. "Din, I'm-."

His head snaps towards you again and you wonder if he's hurting his neck with how much he's doing that right now. He stalks towards you, backing you into the wall.

"What the hell was that!? What were you thinking!?" Any fear you might have had just a moment ago is quickly replaced with anger. You square your shoulders and stand up a little straighter.

"What was I thinking? I think I was saving your ass!"

His hand slams into the wall next to your head and you barely contain your flinch. His other hand is raised so he can point a finger in your face, keeping your anger at the forefront as you glare at him defiantly. "I protect you, not the other way around!"

You give an indignant huff and slap his finger away. "I'm not some helpless little damsel in distress that you need to save all the time." You put both hands on his chest and try to shove him away. He doesn't budge an inch. Damn Beskar!

"Right, you can take care of yourself just fine." He deadpans. He steps aside, letting you walk past him. You bump his shoulder as you walk past and this time he actually takes a step back from the impact. You have to resist the urge to rub your shoulder as you open the ramp to go outside for a bit.

The planet you're on is quite beautiful. The Crest is parked in a giant field. Surrounded by trees and a few big, flat rocks. You want to get away from Din, but not so far away as to make him worry. Even as angry as you are you don't feel the need to be that petty and try to get back at him. You sit on a rock, staring out at the open field and start thinking about what led to all of this.

🌌🌌🌌

You both had gone to the market for supplies. Din had left you to peruse some of the stands while he went to the ammunition shop. He wanted to stock up on Blaster cartridges while you actually had spare credits. You had finished up at the stands and were going to look for Din. It's not like he had told you to wait for him. You made your way to the ammunition shop and were just about to turn the corner when you heard it, sounds of a fight. You slowed down, intending to sneak past. Din would be pissed if you got mixed up in a fight. When you peeked around the corner to figure out how to sneak past, your eyes widened in shock. The fight was between Din and three other men.

One of the men taunted him. "We've been following you, Mandalorian. We saw you with the pretty little girl. Why don't you hand her over and we'll let you keep your precious Beskar." Din froze for a second, but it was all the opportunity the men needed. Two of the men ran at Din, both holding onto an arm. Din tried to shake them off when one kicked him to knock him to his knees. The two men held Din in place as the third approached, blaster in hand.

"On second thought, maybe we'll take your Beskar and worry about finding the girl afterwards. Then we'll have the Beskar and her to do with as we please." The man had a disgusting smirk on his face as he taunted Din more.

Din reacted quickly, kicking one of the men holding him away so he could throw a punch at the third one. But the other man holding Din hit him in one of the few spots not covered in armor to bring him back to his knees. The third man laughed at Din's reaction. "Oh ho, looks like we hit a nerve. Maybe we should make you watch while we have our fun with her."

You dropped the things you had been carrying and double checked the blaster you had snuck from Din's weapons closet. You never told him, but you always grabbed one when you left the ship. Just in case. You slipped it into one of the folds in your outfit. Easily reachable when the time was right.

You ran out from your hiding spot. "No! Don't hurt him!" You cried. The man with the blaster turned and aimed it at you. You skidded to a stop and raised your hands. Widening your eyes in fear.

Din's head snapped towards you. "What the hell are you doing!? Run!"

The man didn't lower his blaster, but he turned back to Din to laugh. "Oh no. She's staying right there. Now the question is do we make her watch, or you."

You took the man's distraction as the opportunity to grab your own blaster. "How about neither." You said. The man barely had time to turn around before you shot him in the chest. The two men immediately released Din to reach for their own Blasters. You shot one while Din wrestled the other to the ground. A blaster shot fired and your heart stopped for just a second until you saw Din slowly rise to his feet. He turned and made his way towards you.

You rushed towards him. "Are you alright?" He walked right past you and picked up the things you had dropped. You were about to ask him again if he was alright when he grabbed you by your wrist and started dragging you back to the Crest.

🌌🌌🌌

You're brought out of your thoughts by the sound of heavy boot falls coming towards you. You don't even turn to look who it is, you’d recognize the sound of those boots anywhere. He doesn't say anything as he sits down next to you. This silence isn't worrisome like the one before. It's not a comfortable silence by any means, but it's not as tense. You can tell he's calmed down. You want to try to explain yourself. You didn't really have a chance to before. While you're trying to figure out how to start, Din breaks the silence.

"Where did you even learn to shoot a blaster like that?"

You give a short, wry chuckle and don't look at him as you respond. "Guess my no good father was good for something."

He looks over at you, trying to gauge how you're feeling. As soon as you left the Crest he felt horrible for how he reacted. Now he feels even worse knowing that he's reminded you of your father. You'd mentioned him a few times before. Your relationship with him had never been good. He never physically hurt you. But Din knew all too well that not all scars were physical.

"I'm sorry. For how I reacted before. I- I just-" He let out a loud sigh, almost a growl. "I was scared. You're the first person I've really cared about in a long time. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you."

You're turned towards him now. If you hadn't already heard the sincerity in his voice, you'd know how sorry he was by looking at him. He looks physically drained. His head is hanging and his shoulders are sagging. He's twiddling his thumbs. You never imagined Din as someone who twiddled their thumbs when they were nervous. You do imagine Din opening up about his emotions makes him nervous though. You reach out and place a calming hand on his knee. He turns his head towards you as you speak.

"Din, don't you understand? That's why I did what I did. I can't stand the thought of something happening to you either." He tilts his head. One of the many quiet gestures of his that you've come to love. You know it's his silent way of asking you to explain further. You let out a heavy sigh and pull your hand back. You pull your knees up to your chest, wrap your arms around them, and rest your chin on one knee before starting your explanation.

"I've told you about my dad before." Din's fist clenched in reaction to you having to bring him up. Din might be emotionally constipated himself, but he knows when things upset you. He understands why mentioning your father is upsetting. Just from the few times you've spoken of him, Din knew your father wasn't a good person. Nothing you ever did was good enough for him. You were smart, beautiful, and capable. So many wonderful things. But your whole life had been someone telling you that you would never be good enough. "I've always thought that if my own father doesn't want me around, why would anyone else?" That wasn't entirely true. He had wanted you there to do everything for him. Everything that he ever said to you was meant to put you down and make you feel worthless. He had wanted to make you think that you needed him and you couldn't survive without him. Your eyes are starting to burn with unshed tears. You haven't opened up about this in a long time, at least not this much. "It's always been there in the back of mind with anyone that I've ever let get close. But not you. I don't mean that I don't feel close to you. Well as close as you can get to someone who literally lives in armor. You're basically a closed off tin can with walls up 24/7." You say the last bit with a small chuckle, letting him know that you're joking. He lets out a huffing sound that you're almost positive is a laugh. "I just mean that I don't have to question if you want me around." You see him stiffen a little out of the corner of your eye.

"You don't have to admit it. I know that kind of thing is hard for you, admitting that you need someone. That you actually want someone in your life. But I know you do with how you've opened up to me." He's glad that you can't see his face under the helmet. Yes, what you're saying is true. But that doesn't mean it doesn't scare him and it shows on his face. His eyes are wide and his mouth is opening and closing like he wants to speak but can't. "I know that giving me your name was a HUGE deal. The fact that you take off any armor at all around me is a big deal. The fact that you trust me to fly so you can actually sleep is a big deal. It wouldn't seem like a big deal to a lot of people. But I know that it means you trust me and I know you don't trust easily."

It's Din's turn to place a comforting hand. He reaches over and places his hand on your shoulder. You reach up and place your hand on top of his, squeezing lightly.

"When I saw those guys had you on your knees and one was pointing a blaster at you, I was terrified. Not because of the things they were saying about me. I was terrified of what would happen to you. Of losing you. You're the first person in a long time, hell maybe even ever, that's made me feel like I'm not worthless. Like I'm a somebody."

There's a heavy silence after you finish speaking. You don't realize that you had started crying until Din turns your face towards his and wipes away the tears. He keeps his hands on your face to force you to look at him as he speaks. "You are a somebody. You're a somebody to me. You're right, I don't trust or open up easily. But it's easy with you. I care very deeply for the Mandalorians that took me in, they're my family. But you, you're my world."

Your eyes widen a little at that. Your mouth is hanging open like a fish and you're at a loss for what to say. Din rests his helmeted forehead against yours lightly. "I can't give you the things someone else might be able to. I can't even give you the things a normal relationship would have, like being able to kiss you. At least not right away or without some accommodations. But I would very much like it if you let me try. Let me show you that you are not worthless and there are people who truly care about you. Because I care about you. More than I have for anyone or anything in a long time."

You close your eyes for a second, a small smile spreading across your face. You bring your hands up to cup the sides of Din's helmet where you imagine his cheeks to be. The visor trains on you and you feel like you're looking right into his eyes. You lean up and press a kiss to the front of his helmet before resting your forehead back against his. "I would like that very much." You don't need to see his face to know that he has a grin just as wide as yours.

✨🛠👀 for the fanfic asks!!

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

I've improved a lot over the last few years! I used to not be able to write protagonists at all because they came out so bland, but I finally managed to figure out how to write Phoenix in a way I think is satisfying. ... that was two years ago but I haven't been able to write much in the last two years, so I'm going to keep praising myself for that until I can start writing more regularly again.

🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

I use google docs for autosave and storing it on the cloud so I don't have to worry about my laptop dying/being stolen/breaking/whatever. It's really not that great though it keeps telling me I'm wrong about things I'm not wrong about.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

wellll I'm still stuck in writer's block now so I can't guarantee anything, I've been barely managing to work on zine fics. I've made some decent progress into a silmarillion fic, though I'm still trying to work out what it's actually about and am probably going to have to cut and streamline a bunch of stuff once I figure that out, but it's been generally maedhros pov reacting to the beren and luthien story and then all his attempts trying to get that one particular silmaril back. maedhros generally interacting with luthien and her descendants and how they all view him. filling in the blanks of canon pretty much. and there's lots of post-nirnaeth maedhros which is a lot of fun for me! but like I said the focus of that might change. I think I might have to cut out a good part of what I've written so far, or at least rewrite it, which is unfortunate. It's also, like I mentioned in the other ask, a general challenge for me to write because I'm trying to emulate Tolkien's style as much as I can, which is not at all what I'm used to, and I have to keep researching things and correcting myself when I come up with a cool idea and it turns out not to work. Especially given that I haven't reread the Silm in a long time and am working on a memory a few years old.

if all that was understandably complete nonsense and you want an ace attorney answer, the next thing I think I'll be posting is something I half-finished for a gift exchange back in february and really want to get done. The prompt I was given was "the AA cast watching the takarazuka musicals", which is pretty much all humor and pretty fun for me to write.

[huenjin]

"i am never, ever, going to one of jisung's parties again."

you shift in your 'seat' to try and get comfortable which results in the person underneath to emit a low groan, hot breath fanning against your ear causing goosebumps to rise all over. it's such an inappropriate scene, the way changbin has you perched on his lap, firm hands on your hips to stop you from moving around too much. "comfy, princess?" he rasps, and you have to bite your lip from making any sounds you know will boost his ego. it's already sky high as it is. god you could almost feel the raging hard-on if you leaned further back, even just a little.

it's hyunjin's fault. you blame it all on hyunjin for dragging you there because he said you needed to "have fun and let loose" after 2 weeks of stress and sleepless nights during final exams. you really do appreciate his thoughtfulness, and he's not wrong for the most part, it's just that you would've preferred staying in to binge watch the latest episodes of private lives on netflix. you're so behind on the drama it's frustrating. but when he offered to buy you new clothes for the halloween party, you figured why not? there's no loss with those terms are there?

wrong. hyunjin just conveniently forgot to mention that your natural enemy seo changbin would also be there. and that he'd be hot as fuck dressed as a policeman. if you were being brutally honest you'd like for him to lock you up and use those handcuffs for you, but it's well known around the campus that y/n and changbin do not go together. you bicker, you fight, you squabble every single time you're in the same room, let alone the same space. he riles you up like no other, and you challenge him like none has.

the sexual tension though? un-fucking-believable.

in changbin's defense, you didn't have to look so sexy in that air hostess costume. a flight attendant? he'd love for you to attend to his needs instead. it's true, the both of you can't stand each other but what's a bit of hate sex can't fix? "probably everything." was what his best friend and fellow roommate chan had said. he might be true, but that won't stop changbin from trying now will it? no, of course not.

"truth or dare y/n?"

curse that beer bottle for landing in your direction twice in a row. the first ended up with you in that position. and now? it's about to get real. so there's two options. either you get zapped by the lie-detecting machine or pick a lousy dare. both you're sure will only end up in your misery because your whole group of friends will forever try and get either you or changbin to break and get into each other's pants (or skirts) already. there's no giving up in their dictionary unless when it comes to studying.

"dare."

changbin whistles at your decision, his intense stare burning holes at the back of your head as he removed one of his hands to rest on your bare thigh. every touch of his fingertips sends tingles up your spine, core starting to drip with want. the longing, the need to be filled is overwhelming that your brain turns into mush and all rational thoughts are out the window.

"i dare you.. to kiss changbin. french style, if you will."

fuck it, you thought. you want a show? fine, i'll give you a show.

in the blink of an eye you've switched positions to straddle his lap, taking off the hat he's wearing and placing it on yourself before leaning in to capture his lips with yours. he smirks during the kiss, feeling victorious at you finally giving in at your desires. under different circumstances you'd want to slap that smirk right off, but now you're in too far to care.

it's animalistic, how he has in tongue in you within a split second after giving your ass cheeks a particularly harsh squeeze. the gasp you let out encourages him to move lower and lower to where you need him most. the sucking and biting he litters under your jaw would be future y/n's problem to handle in the morning because right now, you're putty in his hold. the purple and red marks are a sign, a warning. this is seo changbin's territory.

your hands around his neck, tangled in his soft locks earns a string unholy moans you're sure you'll never get tired of hearing. he knows damn well what he's doing. not one sweet spot of yours did he miss, and by the end of it he has your dress bunched up around your waist, lower half grinding down on his crotch.

"fuck, princess, you're so beautiful."

the action has you seeing stars, pure bliss fuelling your veins which keeps you going on and on and on. every drag gets you higher and god does it feel good. when his lips find yours again his thrusts meet you halfway, sinful moans getting swallowed by the wet muscle exploring the vast of your mouth. his taste is your favourite flavor yet.

you well and truly lost it when his dominance takes over. "you're tired hmm? it's okay princess let me take care of you." the flex of his thigh and the way he's pressing you down so that your clit rubs deliciously against the material of his pants has you keening. the words slipping out of his mouth are downright filthy, the knot in your stomach so awfully tight you're afraid it'll snap without caution.

"b-bin- changbin please.."

the audacity of this man to send you a devilish smirk after all you did was be a good girl for him.

"please what, princess? you're so pretty begging for me like this aren't you?"

his praises, god his praises could send you to heaven and back. you live off of him being proud of you, complimenting you as if you're fully his. he owns you. all of you.

"please.. don't s-stop. ah i'm so close. p-please."

"since you asked so nicely."

one strong pull and you're spurting hot white fluid all over his thigh. your newly bought lace panties, needless to say is drenched and ruined from the intense orgasm you had but fuck was it worth it. he chuckles when you pant, soothing you through your high with more praises that has you whimpering for more.

"sensitive are we princess?"

you blush bright red as he takes a good look at you, the condition you're in making you avoid eye contact in embarrassment. hiding your face in his chest, he runs his fingers through your hair and laughs when you hum appreciatively.

"cute."

then you realise the rest of the the room is empty except for the both of you. for once you're actually glad jisung hosted this party because his huge mansion has plenty of rooms to occupy. the door though, is left wide open. so much for privacy.

"do you still hate me?"

he asks out of the blue, catching you completely off guard. you lean back and stare up at him, tilting your head as if he's just asked something ridiculous. he chuckles again, seeming whipped at how cute you were being in response to his question.

"i've never hated you."

"really? then why do you get mad when i flirt with you?"

"because!!!!"

fuck, this is not a post sex kind of conversation.

"because you flirt with literally everyone, bin. i wanted to hide the fact that i do like you so i pretended i didn't."

you expected him to say sorry for playing with your feelings, or at least apologise for giving you mixed signals but all he does is smile sheepishly.

"what? why are you smiling?"

"you called me bin. only my close friends and loved ones call me that."

"and?"

"we're dating as of now."

BOY MEETS EVIL | JHS

Jung Hoseok had self-control, a hunter like him would never lose to those bloodsucking monsters, but then he met you, a vampire who had pretty eyes and dazzling smile.

Would he be able to escape you?

Alternatively:

“Too bad but it’s too sweet.”

word count: 2k (one-shot) PART OF INTRO SERIES

pairing: vampire Hunter!Hhoseok x vampire!reader

genre & content warnings: blood, fire bomb, murder, vampire bite, vampire au, fantasy au, angst

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Hoseok groaned when blood covered his hand as soon as he touched his neck.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

The gaping wound made it impossible for him to sit, more so, to stand up.

But he had too.

He had to stand up and fight. He knew he would die one way or another, so it would be best to fight rather than lose to those bloodsucking monsters.

"Come on!" Hoseok groaned once more. His shaky hand was trying to fish something out of the pocket of his jeans.

That something was called calendula, a kind of flower that would help heal the vampire bite on his neck.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. He screamed these words inside his head again. This time, the frustration he felt was too much.

Fate was playing a sick joke on him and he couldn't believe it.

Why did he have to forget to bring calendula flowers during his night patrol at Bangtan Forest?

Hoseok couldn't believe that a hunter like him would be beaten by a rogue vampire. The latter were the type of bloodsuckers which were very strong. They couldn't control their lust for blood, causing them to suck the blood of humans dry.

Hoseok was also considered as the strongest vampire hunter in their city, he never once lost to these evils. Truthfully, he had killed thousands of bloodsuckers before.

But he knew he was no much to a group of rogue vampires. As mentioned, they were hard to kill since they had a lot of human blood in their system.

That was the thing about vampires. They grew much stronger when they drank human blood. This was also the reason why most of them refused to adhere to Bangtan City's law of only drinking animal blood.

"Fuck it," Hoseok released a deep breath. He was leaning on the trunk of the forest's tree, meaning he had a little advantage.

He could hide here while trying to shoot arrows on approaching vampires.

He could only wish he could pull this off. The bloodsuckers were extraordinary. They had super speed and the only way to kill them was through fire.

Ripping their hearts out, snapping their necks, drowning, or whatsoever wouldn't work.

Hoseok's only chance was to shoot them using arrows with fire.

It was now or never.

The said vampire hunter inhaled deeply, he aimed to the right when he heard movements there.

Based on his expertise, he came to know that there were at most three vampires approaching him.

Hoseok could shoot many arrows in a span of only a few seconds.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Was probably the line of the night.

Hoseok was caught off guard once again when he was attacked by a vampire coming from the top.

The said vampire was you.

"You losing your charms now, hunter?"

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Hoseok wasn't supposed to be frozen on his spot as his eyes bore deep into your pretty eyes and dazzling smile.

Your presence should be screaming danger, but why were you acting as if you were his superhero?

You were.

You saved Hoseok. You carried him bridal style and then you used your super speed to get the hell out of his hiding spot, away from the rogues who wanted to kill him.

Regrettably, Hoseok didn't look thrill to be alive. His voice was stone cold when he asked why you brought him to your house. It was as if he'd rather die than be saved by you.

It was too late for that now. The rogues couldn't get to him because albeit inside the forest, your place was invisible. This was for your own protection—you asked a certain witch to cloak your home because you wanted to hide it from the prying eyes of mortals, or anyone else, really.

The only ones who could enter and see this house using their naked eyes were those creatures you had invited in.

You knew it was risky to let a vampire hunter inside your abode; however, you valued life more than anything else.

You didn't want the rogues to kill Hoseok even though you barely knew him.

Jung Hoseok was a well-known vampire hunter. This was the only information you knew about him.

You didn't really want to get involved with vampires, humans, or even witches. You only interacted with them when necessary.

Saving Hoseok was necessary in able for you to live a guilt-free life.

You were just like Hoseok before—a human who despised those vampires, but your life changed when a rogue bit and turned you into a bloodsucking creature.

It was the darkest point of your life. You thought you'd die when you were bitten. Most rogues couldn't stop sucking blood until their victims died.

Taehyung, the rogue who bit you, was a sadist. He was aware that you hated vampires and so he completed your transition.

Being bitten was not enough to become a vampire. You literally had to die in able to complete the transition. A person would only turn if they died with vampire blood in their system.

Taehyung snapped your neck after feeding you his blood.

It had been two decades since you turned, yet you could still remember that night vividly.

You still hated being a vampire too.

This was the reason why you helped Hoseok. You didn't want him to suffer like the way you did. Hell. You didn't wish it to happen to anyone.

Being a vampire was a curse.

But you couldn't deny that it had benefits too. You never got sick, you had super speed, enhanced ability to hear and see from afar.

These powers of yours were enough for you to stay alive. You figured that you could use your abilities to help unwilling people from turning into a monster like you.

You wanted to be like Hoseok, this was why you had been watching him guard the city and kill rogues for years now.

You admired him for trying his best to protect innocent people. You didn't want him to die since he was the only hunter who didn't have self-interest. He trained to protect people, not to gain power.

"I'm not dumb to believe you," Hoseok spitted on the ground when you told him why you saved him.

He didn't believe that there was goodness in vampires. The latter were the ones who killed the Jungs. His family begged the vampires to spare their lives, but they never listened. They only laughed as they drank human blood.

"And I know you're not dumb enough to die on my watch." You bit your wrist. "So drink,"

Vampire blood had healing powers. It was more effective than calendula flowers. If Hoseok drank your blood, all his afflictions would go away.

"Get your filthy blood away from me!" Hoseok shook his head vigorously, refusing to have a taste of your sweet, sweet blood.

You exhaled calmly. He would die due to loss of blood if he continued acting like a child.

"Can't you trust me for once? I'm doing this for your sake," you tried to feed him your blood again.

He tilted his head to the side. He wanted to push your hand away, but he couldn't.

You tied him into a chair and this was one of the many reasons why couldn't trust you.

"You took my freedom away." Hoseok gritted his teeth.

You sighed again.

"I'm just protecting myself. You're a hunter. You might kill me if I let you go,"

"Well you might kill me too if you don't let me go!"

"Why would I feed you my blood if I want to kill you? Make it make sense!"

Your voice was like a thunder, it was so loud. You couldn't help it anymore. Vampires' emotions were heightened, making you feel infuriated even though you were just annoyed.

"How would I know? I can't read your mind! What if you just want me to turn into a bloodsucker, huh!?"

His claim made you pause. Your wild heart was slowly calming down.

Hoseok was right. If you were him, you would be skeptical too.

"Fine." You clenched your jaw as you made your way to your small garden.

Hoseok thought you weren't going to come back, but you surprised him when you returned shortly.

You picked some calendula flowers to heal him.

"Is this good enough for you?"

His heart skipped a beat upon seeing your pale face. You didn't look so good and it was because of the fact that you were holding calendula flowers.

Calendula had healing properties for human, but it made vampires weak. They would either faint or feel exhausted once they ingested or touched the mentioned flora.

Calendula grew anywhere so Hoseok wasn't surprised that you had them in your garden. What surprised him was when you leaned closer to him, slowly covering the wound on his neck using the flower.

It was magical. Hoseok's head was spinning, so he just stared deep into your eyes to help him feel better.

Your eyes were the perfect distraction. It was so full of life despite you being undead.

"Y-You'll feel better in a short while," you whispered, still dazed because of the flower.

"I know." Hoseok cleared his throat, looking away from you.

You stood straight, inching away from him.

"Here," you handed him a knife which he took instantly. You saved him, so he would probably spare your life. You trusted him. "Free yourself. I won't stop you, but please..."

You paused to swallow hard.

"Be careful. Leave when the sun rises. Go south, the vampire—"

"I know the forest inside out." He dismissed you. He hated that you were telling him what to do.

But you simply smiled.

"I know that. I watch you fight every night, Hoseok. I'm just telling you the safest route to take. You know the forest, but you don't know us."

"Right." He didn't know you. He didn't know vampires. Your kind could attack him any time.

Most vampires had daylight rings, protecting them from the hot sun.

"Well, if you don't need anything else, I'll be off to my room," you started walking away because you were exhausted. Damn calendula flowers.

"Wait!" Hoseok stopped you though.

You turned to look at him, raising your brow.

"T-Thank you," he gulped. "For saving me."

The smile you gave him was soft and pretty and sweet.

It made his heart flutter.

Shit.

You were so beautiful...

"It's my pleasure." This was the last thing you said before turning away from him; however, you looked back just when he thought you were already inside your room.

"And Hoseok?"

He met your gaze.

"You can come back anytime. I'll always heal you." With your blood or calendula flowers. It didn’t matter.

It didn’t matter even if you felt like you were about to faint any moment from now. You were too weak to move.

Fortunately the vampire hunter simply grinned at your statement. He wouldn’t hold you back any longer. Besides, he didn’t know what else to tell you because he doubted what you said.

He knew this night was the first and last time he was going to see you.

This was evident when he freed himself from the tight rope after he made sure you had retreated in your room.

He was out of the door now, but it didn't end with that.

Hoseok was a hunter. He was smart and he didn't trust anyone.

He smiled to himself as he nursed his remaining grenade in his hands. The timing was perfect. You didn’t have energy to run tonight.

You were a fool for trusting him. Only a fool would trust strangers.

And he wasn't a fool.

Perhaps four year-old Hoseok was a fool.

A fool who let vampires inside their abode when they offered him a candy.

He was only a boy that time.

He was only a boy when he met evil.

Two decades later, he got to interact with evil again.

You were the evil, so he left the grenade outside of your door.

He smirked.

Boy meets evil, but it didn't mean he would be tempted by your sweetness.

The grenade exploded.

Too bad, but it was supposed to be like this.
