uhh hi again

update (and text wall) below

Hiya! It's been a bit ^^;; (wow i've completely forgotten how to do this sdhnfhndshnf)

So for those wondering where I've gone, I'm still here! There's just been a lot of stuff going on, ranging from personal health to familial issues to academic bullshit, and I guess I just decided to take a break from drawing? ><; Those issues have been present and stockpiling for a while now, as early as winter of last year (you can honestly see the visible drop in doodle quality); there was just a lot on my plate. The Daily Doodles really took a toll on my sleep and arm, and while I don't think either have gotten much better (not me typing this in the dead of night), I think I can do more now that exams are over! I doubt I'll be able to put out stuff at the same frequency like 2022 though.

For those wondering what's next, I'll still be here! o7 I've got plenty of stuff I'd like to start, get back to, and finish, but that barely does it justice. I've got a big problem with starting projects and abandoning them, but there's quite a few I'll be trying to get back to with what time I have (yes I still remember the Dusknoir post). Most direly though, would probably be the raffles? Yeah... those sorta went on pause as a result of what else I had going on, and I am. Seven overdue now?? shit man wtf where did you all come from o-o

In regards to the raffles though, I probably won't be able to organize seven of them things at the moment lol- I have another plan though! Which will hopefully be easier on everyone? Maybe. Idk about me LOL - it'll be reblogged from this post shortly!

oh yeah I also finished PSMD and no I was not and am not okay

TL;DR: It has been a Large Amount of Time since I've properly gotten back here as an active blog, and even longer since I've regularly drawn, but with finals over, hopefully I'll be more active?

[spotaus]

*It seems you managed to stumble across a unique trio...

Decided to do a silly lil doodle of my favorite Dopple-trio! :D on the surface I feel like this'd be a daily occurrence. Kale is the most normal of the 3 of them, but I wanted to draw her and Paps having a cute lil conversation. (More ideas below the cut!!!)

Pretender regularly interacts with humans (his disguise slowly recovers, and he continues to mostly abstain from his old habits) and usually appears as "human" as long as he's out. Sometimes in public I feel like ppl would be willing to talk to him, and he's always quick to make it clear that to get to his family people would have to get past him. (Also I think in their neighborhood/town everyone gets increasingly confused because he regularly goes, "Yeah, that's my Kid" some days abd other days he's like, "That's my little sibling" and it's just that he's her guardian and the terms are kinda interchangeable because it's easier to use them than explain the whole situation lol)

Pretender also has no sense of fashion. He's always so close to a neat outfit then takes the wrong turn before he exits his closet lol.

Paps stays in skeleton form (at least for the first few years) even tho it's dangerous, because his human disguise is awful and makes K uncomfortable. Instead he trains genuinely with Undyne and Tender to properly figure out a human shape over about 4 years. Eventually he does have a human disguise, but he's contented in his monster form too.

K I can't say a lot for (beloved @oodlesndoodles is who designed/owns her!) But I'm pretty certain that she'd probably still wear her one monster-style outfit sometimes if only to show her solidarity with her family, or just to mess with people on the streets 🙏

Also:

I love the idea that someone talking to them would take in this info and be like ???????

Last Notes: Human!Pretender is one of my favorite blorbos ever to doodle! His hair texture is probably the most satisfying thing ever! Paps keeps miraculously looking good for this AU??? I've never been able to draw Papyrus before??? Idk what changed, but I love him! And KALE! K my beloved I have struggled so hard to doodle her well and usually fail but I think I did it!!! I love her sm...

[degrees-of-fuck]

Lettie Infodump so I can talk about her here and it'll make sense

I realised I haven't properly explained what I ended up deciding my OC Lettie's uh... Deal is. I have an insane number of thoughts about her too. She's kinda my main general OC that I ported over to DoL cuz she's my main gal that I constantly rotate in my head, so this makes sense. But. Yeah. Anyway, attempting to explain miss lettice rosangel for people that follow my for my OCs for whatever goddamn reason. Infodump to provide Context about her for future posts - and a couple doodles below!

cw for more Blood Stuff than the usual DoL fare. Sucks 2 be a sacrificial lamb. and also for long.

OK so Path/ologic has always been one of the Lettie Games of All Time to me, but the way I adapted her into DoL was pretty heavily inspired by The Changeling's route (Though I also OFTEN make jokes about Cult of/the Lamb in relation to her.) Initially, because of her Dainty Woodland Weirdo vibes and stuff about her personality, I was gonna toss her at Eden and have her be a miracle-worker on the side when she's in town, but then she uh. Then she stopped being a PC and now she's just here. Among my other OCs. Doing whatever it is she does. God I really wanna do a comic based on the Pathologic intro with my PCs lol

anyway. What I actually ended up doing was making her Full Time miracle worker that was raised at the temple, because I found the image of her after being Found, spawned by the elements, getting thrown at it when her behaviour of inflicting indiscriminate psionic torture instead of crying and generally just being an absolutely horrifying creature kind of finally Broke Bailey and his goons a bit, so. Here, temple. Take this fucking thing. Kill it or exorcise maybe, I don't care just keep it away from me. And then she promptly started acting sweet as anything, having gotten old enough to start communicating a bit. (On her gaslight grindset even as an infant...)

SO. Her being thrown at the temple, plus her mysterious powers plus the circumstances of her 'birth' cleeaarly mean this is some kind of divine being, but the question of course is, In Which Direction? Upon realising that this even WAS a question, the obvious thing for her to do is to start acting the role of The Heavensent AS HARD AS POSSIBLE - Perfect and Pure and Incorruptible. Because being revealed to be even slightly bad might get her diagnosed with Lying Hellspawn. So. Yeah. Kind of a situation where you are sat up nicely on a pedestal, but don't have the Right to display any kind of moral greyness. Which is hard at times, because Lettie's kind of an asshole and only More inclined to be awful when she's being constantly treated in such a bizarre manner. Honestly even with her best efforts, I think there's murmurings of people thinking she isn't what she seems. The odd nun or monk cornering her out of sight about it and so on forth.

But yeah. Essentially, she exists more as a symbol than as a person with real thoughts or feelings. Performs illusion-based miracles, pretends to have visions and then makes them come true to fuck with people, lots of Charitable Good Deeds for Brownie Points... The OTHER thing her daily life seems to entail (Other than occasionally being molested by members of the church and overhearing people wanting to kidnap her) is being a BLOOD SACRIFICE. Her body sure is covered in weird scars from being bled on altars for religious ceremonies, or to just collect some lambs' blood for later use. And also sometimes being touched a lil inappropriately during That.

So yeah. Much thoughts on Perfection and Purity basically equating to Emptiness, Fractured Identity Stuff, Religious Trauma, the general horror-show that is the way the people that basically raised her treat her, the effects of the public eye and having to live a life where you're straight up Not Allowed to change or grow at all, because you're already supposedly Perfect. Just a hollow doll (Well not entirely hollow. She has Blood.) to project onto and adore, but also viciously blame whenever literally anything goes wrong. (I mean, is this a lamb or a goat? It's anyone's guess.)

Much Power but Zero Rights.

I have a lot of Other thoughts thematically and such but I find them hard to put into words that make sense so this is all you're getting for now.

Some Extra Facts About Her???

-Chronic Illness Moments! Being constantly a bit drained of blood, side-effects of psychic burnout plus just. Generally being sickly. This paired with the frequency with which she slips and slides around on temple floors on her sheepy hooves, I wanna start keeping count of how many times she almost gives Jordan a heart attack : )

-With her and Sydney both having kind of a IT'S COMPLICATED parental relationship with Jordan and both of them being how they are, I do NOT think Lettie likes Syd very much. Keeps telling on her when they see her break character a bit. And also is constantly just, there, being a human that she can be compared to. And if she's seen to be less virtuous than some fucking initiate, then it's OVER for her which is kinda terrifying. They rank above most of the nuns and monks at the temple on account of not personally mistreating her, but they sure do make her life harder and she delights in fucking with them.

-At some point, I made Original, Non DoL Lettie transfem because of thematic Gender stuff. Anyway I think that she came out via mix of "Your human genders don't make sense to be, but I like dresses :)" and gaslighting the temple into thinking she'd ALWAYS been this way. So she uh. Didn't come out. She gave herself bottom surgery via a terrifying blood ritual of her Own. Good for her.

-I think there is So much to explore with the Ivory Wraith. Idk the details yet, but... Yeah.

-Cuts her hair into a bob and shears her leg-wool in the summer. Also has to do smaller shearings/cuttings throughout the year probably. I think she spins it into yarn, bleaches and dyes it and knits with it. : ) Very into fiber arts in general. Sewing and embroidery and quilting are Fun and also no one can tell her idle hands are the devil's workshop if she's constantly doing something with her hands.

-I've still yet to settle on how to draw her fucking horns.

EDIT:

-Shortly after making this post, I decided she can be the PC Kylar fixates on, so I've been thinking of that. My other OC Edin already is kind of a fucking stalker, but. Yeah, it makes perfect sense for her to have multiple stalkers I think. Part of her whole deal is that she CONSTANTLY has EYES on her. Never free. Two stalkers, each with completely conflicting expectations of her is supremely on brand.

-Feeling of Kylar has figured out that she isn't what she presents herself as - but doesn't know who she actually is, instead deciding to view her as what they Want her to be, leading into the hgufkdsdjd, <3 <3 <3 You're So Naughty type shit. ... Don't tell Kylar she doesn't have a womb.

-Kylar maybe has Hopes relating to her ~special powers~ and what they could do for their parents??

Inktober Tips

What is Inktober (skip this if you already know) I've never really been on a social media site where I get to write down my actual thoughts about inktober. I've been doing Inktober properly for a few years now and I made a few small attempts before that. Tips that I'm about to share here might be relevant for other art challenges as well. Inktober is of course a yearly art challenge where thousands of artist across the globe make an ink drawing for every day of inktober. But in my book any physical media is ok. The original challenge also had a stipulation about not sketching anything, this is also alright in my book. Anyone who tells you you're not doing it properly if you're not using exclusively ink without a sketch is a [slur of choice]. All of these artist follow the same prompt list, though in the last few years some alternate prompt lists have showed up. These prompts have showed up because of some scandall that I don't really remember. Me and some fellow artists that were also doing it decided back then to keep following the "official" prompt list, but if you want to do another one that's all good.

The only thing you should remember about all of this is that Inktober is all about getting into the habit of drawing daily and doing a decent job. Everyone is gonna be posting stuff of different quality and that's ok because we're all developing at a different rate.

Getting started with Inktober So how do you actually go about starting with Inktober? The first thing you should do is set an incredibly low bar for yourself. Inktober is long and if you're not with friends it's incredibly difficult to get motivated. Therefore you should be choosing your own pace, and to begin this pace should be incredibly low. For your very first inktober I recommend to get a small sketchbook or loose collection of pages of any size and mark out 31 days on the pages. In the beginning of the sketchbook you should write all of the prompts that month, that way you never have to look them up on your phone where you might get distracted. You can include the prompt on the page of the day if you want. That way you'll always know. My very first Inktober that I followed for almost the entire month was in 2018 and consisted of just two A4's with only 27 of the 31 prompts completed. And as you will see in the image below, several irrelevant doodles cluttered the pages as well. I started this Inktober run on the 5th so don't worry if you think you've missed the start date, just get a sketchbook and get going! Even today, a week from the end is a valid starting date if you only wanna do it for a week.

Following the prompt If you're doing Inktober remember this one thing, we're not chatgpt or some other image generator, we're artists! This means that unlike a computer we can actually creatively handle a prompt. If you're not sure what to draw at first glance, try approaching it from a different angle.

Experiment with the word, adding a B to the front of the prompt Ridge may give you the idea to put a Bridge on a Ridge, or something like that.

If you're a multilingual person or a non-english-native, try interpreting the prompt in your mother-tongue or any other language. If you're travelling or something it can also be fun to relate the prompt to your surroundings. Also on two seperate inktobers I related my inktober to the fact that I had a wisdom tooth removed that very day.

Also if you think you've got a physical item around you that you can draw to follow the prompt, go for it! These are especially fun to do without the sketch, but you can still include the sketch if you want.

Also remember to keep things fresh, if you're a little sick of using ink try changing it up. Just use a ballpoint pen or any other physical media.

Low effort Inktobers

Some days you're gonna be tired or not really feel like doing the prompt. It might have been a long day, it might be 5 minutes before midnight, hell it can even be two in the morning or the next day! The most important thing to do on these days is to put literally anything on the page! I call these the Low-Effort-Inktobers. They can either be the worst thing you've ever made or you can end up starting to enjoy it an make a friggin masterpiece! As I've mentioned, Inktober is all about keeping up the work, no matter what. And by anything I literally mean anything! Here are some Low-Effort-Inktobers!

Conclusion

Anyway Inktober is a fun art challenge that creates good habits! If you're still in doubt of getting started let me motivate you by showing some of mine. I'll show three from every year I've done, the very best, the very worst and an Inktober that is just average. I won't mention which is which cause I'm sure people would disagree with me. I hope it's gonna show a nice progression over the years! Remember if you're gonna start, only look at the first two or three, set the bar low! And feel free to show me your Inktobers! I wanna see more people show this kind of progression cause I find that interesting! 2019

2020

2021

2022 This is the year where I switched to giving every day it's own A4, the jump in quality is incredible.

2023

2024 Obviously Inktober is still running this year but here are some of mine.

The good news is I recognise the cycle...

The bad news is that it's doing me very little in the way of good so...

Long post under the cut.

A little bit of greentext format for context:

> Be me > Over fifty. Body decaying around me > Shot knees. Bone spurs. Asthma. Lingering 'Rona after-effects to be determined when I discover what they are. Also hefty Autism comorbs fucking all this up > Only twenty-four hours I get custody of Beloved because current Throuple arrangement [FTR I am cool with this on normal circumstances] > My left foot locked on Fuck You Mode so walking around is not my best activity .> Staying home and doing nothing is not Beloved's best activity even when one broken arm is overloaded with hardware [Long story involving a scooter, a downhill slope, and a gravelled driveway] > Explaining Fuck You Foot(tm) results in staying in bed most of the morning [I had DM'ing at 4AM, waking up at 3AM to do that and needing a nap but also having anxiety attack as well. Yay. Not] > But did get to read chapters to Beloved which is Mutual Fun Time(also tm) > Finally time to ship Beloved off to Adorable, but agree to a lunch > Beloved has heard my Slow PLN to switch my tower's OS to Linux, and spontaneously decides to get me a present (!!!) > It's a thumb drive and an SSD, all to help with the transfer > Except now I need DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS > OncomingCloudOfDoom.gif > Have lunch, get Beloved onto the train, go home > Make my offerings for the Temple of Notes [aka, my daily tale and attempts at gaining an audience] > Some confusion when I think the thumb drive is USBC-only > Took an hour to find out it was pansexual > Properly formatted SSD (yay) > Started getting instructions on how to shift all my data and files > Clarify where the SSD is plugged in > Read at 1:25PM > Ask a question > Radio silence

So I get on with everything else and finally feel tired early in the afternoon. Woke up at about 9-ish, still dealing with that good old persistent anxiety attack feeling that's been bothering me since YESTERDAY. Hooray.

I got up and decided to put myself on the Nebuliser in case it's Just Asthma Again. This has happened to me before.

Nope.

It's 11:30PM

I know how this is going to go now. Because I have established what the pattern is. It's not going to help though.

Need hand-holding for a process that involves DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

Ask what I think is a salient question

Receive radio silence

Do not move forward on the process until instruction is given

Get yelled at for this [NB: No actual yelling is involved, just frustration and the personal aura of personal and intense shame]

So I've gone off at my other two via our personal group chat, just accepting the inevitability of being yelled at for my flaws. Might as well get it over with, right?

But I'm still feeling a little bit like...

Because I know the people I love best are going to be disappointed in me.

I could really use a hug, but the people best for doing that are far, far away.

Cute pix of fluffy things, virtual hugs, or, if you're inclined, doodles of Blorbo From My WIP [IYKYK, if not - don't bother, it's cool] will be appreciated.

I need to get to sleep so I can be awake for a thing in about nine hours. And I could probably do with eating a food.

👜 ... ⃕ STAY ! NEW INKA CONTENT JUST DROPPED !

# ASK INKA : what's in my bag?

inka : hello guys ! i'm inka from stray kids and i will do the what's in my bag challenge. i always have it with me because i tend to always leave my stuff lying around.. so as soon as i find something that belongs to me, i put it in to store it later. handy, right? my bag is like mary poppins'.

inka : okay so.. let's start !

airpods, charger & phone.

inka : most important things, if you ask me. i really can't live without my phone, as i tend to write a lot in my notes. i must have like over 300 notes in there.. bits of songs, moments of my life that i don't want to forget, feelings.. that sort of thing. and my charger obviously, essential given the rate at which my phone loses its battery.

inka : i also have my airpods, with my super cool box with the effigy of this monster & cie's character, bob razowski. i wanted boo's version, but i was afraid it would be too big.. so i chose this one which i also love.

👤 : what is your song of the moment?

inka : my song of the moment? mhh.. lemme think about it.. i think it's i'm good by bebe rexha and david guetta.

perfume and makeup.

inka : another thing i can't live without, my perfume. i'm completely obsessed with this one. i am used to putting some very often, which makes my bottles empty quickly, but it's nothing because i love the smell of these.

inka took the opportunity to apply two strokes of perfume on her neck, feeling the good smell of the latter invade the room.

inka : ahhh, i really like it.

inka : i know that we have our makeup artists who always do an impeccable job without imperfections, but i like to have minimal makeup with me, just on principle. you never know.. maybe one day something will happen that will make me have to do my makeup alone, i have to be prepared for this situation !

songs notebook.

inka : ah yea. my private notebook. in fact, i have had this notebook for years, it's a bit like my secret diary you know. the pages are filled with song lyrics, song ideas, or little doodles. they sometimes help me to find inspiration and not to forget any of my ideas. speaking of ideas, as they often appear at any time and without warning, i try as much as possible to always have my notebook handy to write them down, otherwise i tend to forget them and regret it later.

wallet and card holder.

inka : my wallet is cute, right? it's kuromi. jeongin gave it to me on my birthday, since then, it hasn't left my bag. it is quite wide, so very practical. plus, i don't like going out without coins and all, so i put the cash in.

inka : and of course my card holder, because one day i lost my credit card by putting it in the pocket of my jeans, so i decided to pay more attention to it and always put it in my bag so i don't lose it again. a very tiring experience.

hand cream and hand sanitizer.

inka : if there must be one thing in all the bags in the world, it's hand sanitizer who never goes out without it's hand cream. with the hard time we've had, and the virus that is still running around, it's important to be careful and disinfect your hands regularly. but the disinfectant often dehydrates your skin much faster, especially with the cold weather, so it is very important to hydrate your skin regularly to avoid any damaged skin. that's what i do, anyway. i hate having sore hands.

inka took the opportunity to do a little booster shot, showing to the camera how to properly apply the cream on the hands.

medications, bandages & pack of tissues.

inka : i'm the type of person who regularly has migraines, and therefore unbearable headaches. it takes me often and it is extremely unpleasant, that's why i always have pills with me to help me feel better. i also have vitamins that i take daily, that help me to keep myself fit and energetic. and finally, regular pills to be able to cure my insomnia, i must not forget to take them, they are extremely important.

inka : bandages are very important, because sometimes when we get hurt outside the dorm, we don't necessarily have what it takes to heal yourselves, so i make sure to always have bandages to treat wounds that do not require medical treatment.

inka : i often blow my nose, really. i feel like i have a cold every day of the year. so i always have a pack of tissues with me, it has become essential.

itzy's ryujin polaroid.

inka : ahh.. one of my most precious treasures. this polaroid of ryujin is very important to me, because she personally wrote me a message on the back. a message of encouragement to be more precise, she gave it to me during a rather complicated period of my life, and i must admit that i consider it a bit like a lucky charm.

👤 : do you want to say a little word to ryujin?

inka : ryujin if you see this video, thank you for all your support, thank you for being such a precious friend ! you're the best.

a small stuffed cat.

inka : oh it's my little meow's turn ! it's a gift from ateez's lua. as many know, lua is my best friend, and she gave me this stuffed cat shortly after my debut in stray kids. i literally take him everywhere, i take great care of him, oh and funny fact, he has the particularity of smelling like vanilla. so my bag is always scented with a vanilla smell.

inka approached the little stuffed cat to her cheek, pretending to cuddle it tenderly for a few seconds.

👤 : do you want to say a little word to lua?

inka : bestie ! how are you? i can't wait to see you again soon, i hope we will have many more good times together. i miss you.. take care, okay? i send you all my support for your future projects. and don't forget, i will always be your biggest fan. *🫶🏻*

kitkat and other snacks.

inka : kitkat are my favorite snacks, it's nothing new, honestly. i buy these regularly and always have a few in my bag, just in case my stomach gets a little peckish.. you know, to avoid awkward gurgling in the middle of an interview.

obviously, she takes the opportunity to unwrap one and quickly eat it in front of everyone, triggering the laughter of some members of the staff.

inka : but ! i also have other snacks for the kids. those who ask me most often are obviously changbin and jisung. once, i caught them rummaging through my bag to find some, unbelievable.

yellow nintendo switch lite.

inka : my precious. she is always here for me. i really love video games, i often spend all my free time playing. i love playing animal crossing, fire emblem, trials of mana.. i have a large collection of video games at home. i often play with felix by the way. but i am more often playing genshin impact on my playstation..

👤 : which characters are in your genshin impact's main team?

inka : i change quite often honestly, because i love playing with lots of different characters. but right actually, my mains are mona – the only character who never leaves my team, scaramouche, tighnari and fischl.

a few words to end this interview.

inka : what i remember is that i should definitely organize my bag better, but i still think i have most of what i need inside. unfortunately, there will always be little extra things that will be added from time to time.. next time i'll take a backpack !

inka : thank you so much for this interview, it was fun to film and share all this with you, and above all, to show you a little of my life in this bag.

inka : aaand.. cut !

The Knack

-(Michael Afton x reader)-

-(Summary:

-(CW: mentions of child d3@th/bite of '83)-

-(The title is based off of one of my fave Mother Mother songs "The Knack", it makes me think of Michael everytime I hear it so yeah, I wrote this)-

-(Also, Mike and the reader are 17 in this, hehe)-

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Michael had always thought of you as an anamoly. You had a knack for so many things. You were so outspoken about what you believed in. About who you were. About who you loved. About what you wanted.

He wanted to be like you. He wanted you to be his. He wanted to be yours. All of this, fully and completely.

You had somehow blown your way into his heart, into his head, into multiple little doodle into his sketchbook. His sketchbook that you asked to look at nearly daily.

Michael had no idea why you talked to him. He was just some teenage punk with daddy issues and highschool angst. You were so cool to him. Bright smile, twinkling eyes that somehow always got you into and out of trouble.

You were the essence of a all things ethereal to Michael. Why you chose to associate with him confused him thoroughly, but he would never complain about it.

You had crowned yourself 'Michael Afton's Best Friend Ever' shortly after his brother's untimely death. The two of you had spoken to each other before, sure, but once you saw that his other friends had left him and he had almost no one, you had decided not to stand for it. You forced hang outs and sleepovers, and dragged him places that you thought would boost his serotonin. And you were right, but not for the reason you had originally thought.

Mike dropped his things onto the ground near the base of the tree where you met him after school every day. He pulled out his walkman and his sketchbook, waiting patiently for you to get out of your last class.

He started up a sketch based off of a picture he had taken of you. He remembered the scene so vividly. You both had been dancing around in his room when you were supposed to be studying, blasting ABBA's "Waterloo" and screaming along to the lyrics. He collapsed onto his bed in a fit of middle school girl-like giggles, grasping his camera and aiming it at you teasingly. You hadn't even noticed. You just kept twirling along to the beat, yelling your heart out and messing up your science homework. He sat up slowly, allowing himself to see you properly and to catch his breath in the same moment. You looked divine, the setting sun dancing on your skin in a playful way that exerted youth and joy as the song ended, your smile high and your arms higher. He snapped the polaroid quickly, setting it aside face down to let it develope.

He had brought the polaroid with him today, wanting to sketch it into his sketchbook before hanging it up on his corkboard filled with polaroids full of his old friends, his passed siblings, his mother, his father, his uncle Henry, anything and everything he held dear and cherished.

He began sketching and kept sketching for gods know how long, until the last bell of the day had rung. Knowing that you would find him quickly, he shoved his things into his backpack and waited your you by the bike racks. He had a plan for today. He was gonna tell you how he felt. Did it risk losing his one and only best friend? Possibly. Would it make it better than keeping secrets from you forever and continuously feeling guilty for it? Yes, absolutely.

"Hey, Mike!" You bounded up to him, your running looking more like jumping as you did your best to get to your best friend as fast as possible.

"It looks like it's gonna rain, we should probably head home like, now."

He nodded.

"Your house or mine?"

You contemplated it for a moment.

"Depends, do you know if and when your dad will be home?"

Mike shrugged.

"Yours."

And off you were, racing each other on your bikes, trying to outrun one another and the rain.

You made it to Mike's house first, setting your bike down on his porch and sitting down to wait for him. He arrived half an hour after you with a plastic bag full of something, hurriedly pulling out his house key and trudging inside.

"Mike, dude, what the hell took you so long, I waited for you for a long ass time? And where'd you get the bag? Is there a project that I forgot about?"

"Hm? Oh! Uh, no, it's a surprise! For a friend!"

"So it's for me?"

"I never said that!"

You deadpanned, arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.

"Mike I'm like, your only friend."

He sputtered.

"Ugh, fine, yes the surprise us for you, but you can't have it yet, it's for later."

You sighed dramatically, flinging yourself down onto his couch. Mike winced. If his father ever found out about how recklessly the furniture in the Afton house was treated, there would be hell to pay.

"You know I hate waiting for surprises! Come on, Mike, at least give me a clue!"

He thought about it for a second.

"It has to do with a book. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go get it ready. Watch some TV and make yourself comfortable, I'll be back down in a bit."

Michael returned about two hours later, his sketchbook in his hands. Seeing you fast asleep on the couch, he contemplated this entire idea. Maybe he could just ignore it and pretend that he never even had a surprise for you in the first place. But he couldn't. He had already told you, you were already expecting the surprise at any moment.

He sighed. This was it. He shuffled onto the couch and gently shook you awake.

You groggily rubbed your eyes and smiled, sitting up when you saw his sketchbook.

"Is that the surprise?"

"Uh, yeah. Go ahead and look through it, if you want."

You quickly, but gently, yanked it out of his hands, opening it up to the first page, looking through doodles that you had seen before.

About halfway through, you finally found new ones. They were all of you. Some of you and Michael. Some you remembered as things that had already happened, some were of things that had never happened in your life.

One of you singing in Mike's beat up truck, something you remember from a couple weeks back. One of you and Mike dancing at a prom that was 4 months away. But one in particular stood out.

The reference for the sketch was taped onto the inside corner. It was a sketch of you in Michael's bedroom, arms in the air, smile wide, face flushed and sun dancing on your skin in a warm glow.

Michael had written a note on the polaroid that he had used as a reference.

'The moment I knew for sure I was in love-1985'

"Mike, is this, are you-?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm really serious about it. If you don't wanna be friends anymore, I totally get it-"

You shut him up by grabbing his face, smashing his lips onto yours.

"Mike, if we ever get married, this is being shown to everyone there."

He laughed breathlessly, pulling you in for another kiss.

"So, does that mean we're like, a thing now?"

"Yeah Mike, definitely."

(HEYA! Once again, sorry that the asks are taking so fucking long, I am getting to them I stg. Anyways, remember to hydrate and have a wonderful rest of your day, bye!!!!)

May I request for sebastian x an injured farmer? Like a broken leg or a sprain please? Your writings really good!

Thank you!! I appreciate that so much 🖤 I hope you like this! I decided to do a broken leg and a set relationship with this one as well, hope that's okay! I made this for a headcanon template so I could get you something quicker, if you would like a imagine/mini-fic for it please let me know, I'd be happy to write one. (I already have a beginning written out not going to lie).

Sebastian x Injured Reader 🖤

TW: Mentions of medical things, and injuries

Once he hears about you getting hurt, he is at Harvey's in a second, he even drove his motorcycle down there to get to you quicker.

He becomes 100x more protective of you...if that is even possible.

He is at your beck and call, always nearby watching you. Making sure you don't get hurt more and making sure you have everything you need.

He drops any work project he has to stay at the farmhouse with you..hell he even does the daily farmwork so you can rest properly. He doesn't want you stumbling around the farm struggling to work with your broken leg.

He gets so sunburnt its crazy...the poor pale boy refuses to wear sunscreen.

He is so so clingy...he will literally carry you if it means you are comfortable....he also just wants to cuddle you but he won't admit it.

He doesn't do it a lot...but he has some drawing talent. He sketches a lot of little doodles on your cast while you two are watching a movie or you are feeling bad, to try and make you happy.

Mind you they all have some sort of creepy, tim burton-y vibe to them but he's trying.

He asks his mom for her pumpkin soup recipe, and will make it for you with a little smile on his face. It always helped him feel better as a kid, so he hopes it will help you.

Once you are out of your cast and close to back to normal, he will ease up a bit...finally heading back to his house to catch up on work of his own.

When you come to visit, or if he goes to visit you, expect him to ask a million questions about your wellbeing.

Oh and, whatever you did to break your leg in the first place? Sebastian is going to insist on doing it now, or being with you to make sure nothing goes wrong again.

He loves you so much...you being in pain is the last thing he ever wants to happen to you. He can just be a bit protective about you sometimes.

I headcanon sebastian being super protective of his s/o...I can't help it lmao.

"I'm telling you Charlie you're going to love her." Phil gushed for the millionth time. "So you say." Charlie muttered still doodling in his sketch book, within the prisons art room. "She's a brilliant artist, a local celebrity really." Phil smiled to himself, before his eyes shot to the opening door of the room. "Phil." (Y/n) smiled at the man awaiting her at the bottom of the stairs, her heels clicking noisily as she descended said stairs. "(Y/n) its so lovely to see you." Phil chirped while pulling her into a friendly hug. "I was looking over those drawings you sent me." (Y/n) grinned from ear to ear. "I can't wait to meet the man behind the pen." She added before handing the drawings back to Phil. "Of course of course, he's right here. Charlie mate this is (Y/n)." Phil ushered Charlie over who was sitting quietly observing the two. "We've been waiting here for a little while now, eager for your arrival." Phil added as Charlie approached. "So you're Charlie Bronson? I've heard so much about you, I must say you are a man of reputation." (Y/n) mused while shaking his hand. "Yeah that's me." Charlie sighed under his breath, sounding almost bored. "I've looked over some of your work, and its quite charming really." (Y/n) said as she pointed to the drawings in Phil's hands. "Your style actually reminds me of an uncle of mine, from my father's side. Ironically enough he also spent some time in prison years ago." She continued, her complements fueling Charlie's ego. "Every year I come here in search of an apprentice, sometimes they remain my apprentice for a few years, like my last apprentice did. Sadly however he got on the wrong side of a local here, and got himself killed." (Y/n) wet her lips allowing Charlie a moment to process her words. "Phil here suggested that I take you under my wing, if you're interested of course." She smiled softly. "I don't think the Gov will allow me the privilege." Charlie pointed out, knowing the man hatted him. "Well just between us, he's had quite the crush on me since I started doing this whole apprenticeship thing. I'm confident I can convince him by simply batting my lashes at him." (Y/n) winked with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Is that so?" Charlie smirked a little, finding her rather amusing. "But only if you're interested of course, I'd rather avoid the man if I can. Makes my skin crawl that one." She frowned a little in disgust at the thought of the man. "Alright, what dose this internship entail?" Charlie asked while leaning against the table to his right. "Well first off, I'll be teaching you how to hone your skills as an artist, and help you to find your true potential, to the best of my abilities. I would be visiting you daily, for however long I see fit. Maybe even if you get yourself in trouble, seeings how the old creep can't seem to say no to me." She shrugged a little at the last comment. "Alright I'm in." Charlie nodded his head once, before going back to his original seat. "Okay I'll go see what I can do about the Governor." (Y/n) waved goodbye to Phil before leaving the room. "See I knew you'd like her." Phil smiled while Charlie simply grunted at him.

----

The following day Charlie sat across from the Governor, in his little office. "I don't know how, but you've caught the interest of Miss (Y/n) (Y/l/n), and she wishes to take you as her new apprentice. I have granted her permission to due so, but I'm warning you now Charlie, if you so much as hurt a hair on her head, I'll have you locked in solitary for the rest of your stay here." The older man hissed, his threat only making Charlie smile. "What kind ov a man do you think I am, eh?" Charlie taunted, making the Governor roll his eyes. "I know exactly what kind of a man you are Charlie." The Governor sighed before waving him off. "She'll be here later today, and every day after until you mess up." He added as Charlie was being escorted out of his office.

----

(Y/n) did in fact come back, just a few hours later. Meeting with Charlie in his cell of all places. "Right let's get to it yeah?" She shrugged her bag off of her shoulder and placed it on the foot of his bed, where she rummaged through it a moment later. "Ah here we are." She smiled as she pulled out the new materials she had brought with her. "These are for you." She handed them to Charlie, who slowly looked over everything she gave him. "I'd like to watch you draw if that's alright, I want to observe your process, and techniques." (Y/n) explained, smiling when Charlie sat at his desk. "You can watch, just try not to talk to much. Phil gets real annoying after awhile." Charlie glanced up at her as he began settling everything up. "Of course." She bowed her head a little, respecting his wishes.

As Charlie drew (Y/n) peered over his shoulder, fascinated by his technique, and rather pleased with his natural skills. "How's that?" Charlie leaned back in his chair, looking up at (Y/n), who grinned at him. "It's fantastic, tell me what does this mean to you?" She asked while leaning in a little closer observing the finer details, unknowingly pressing her breasts against Charlie's shoulder. "What?" He exhaled through his nose noisily, almost stunned by the sudden contact. "What does this all mean to you? If anything at all." (Y/n) asked while pulling away so she could properly look at his face. "It's just some of the things I felt while at the asylum." He cleared his throat, having calmed his nerves when she pulled away from him. "Interesting." (Y/n) hummed before going back to her bag. "I want you to try something for me Charlie." She muttered as she unfolded the large piece of canvas paper, she had pulled from her bag. "I want you to try copying this drawing, but in your own style." She explained before using her chewing gum to stick the paper to the wall above his desk. "What is it exactly?" He asked eyeing the strange looking drawing before him. "I'm not entirely sure yet, I drew this yesterday after I left here, I got some inspiration." She tilted her head a little, looking at her work. "Get some inspiration from me did ya?" Charlie teased. "I did actually, while I drew this I replayed our conversation together, remembering the way you held yourself, your facial expressions, mood, all of it really... And this is the product of that." (Y/n) explained, once again fueling Charlie's ego. "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" He asked while looking from her to the drawing, finding it almost hypnotizing. "Personally I believe it's a good thing, but I guess like most art, it is what you make of it as the viewer." She looked back to Charlie, who seemed pretty pleased with her answer. "Right, well this might take a little while." He stated while scooting his chair in. "Take however long you need." (Y/n) hummed softly while clasping her hands behind her back. "You're welcome to sit on the bed if ya like." Charlie added before picking up his pencil. "Thank you Charlie." (Y/n) smiled before delicately setting on the edge of the mattress, trying to avoid making to much noise.

----

For a little over two months now, (Y/n) has been working with Charlie. And it wasn't until today that he acted out, and got himself into trouble. But as she promised she convinced the Governor to allow her to still visit him. While Charlie sat in his cell, blood oozing a little from the gash on his head, he counted the seconds it took for (Y/n) to reach his cell. Her heels giving her away the second she stepped into his cellblock, clicking away as she approached. "I don't know why you bother." The guard opening Charlie's cell hissed at (Y/n), who in turn held her head up a little higher while glaring at the overweight man. "That's none of your concern." She spat back as the door opened, making Charlie smile the best he could with the muzzle they put on him.

"Christ." She muttered under her breath in surprise, completely stunned at the sight of him all bloody and bound. "Aye love." Charlie murmured the best he could, both blood and drool running down his chin. "What did they do to you?" She frowned before softly sitting on her knees across from him on the floor. "You'll dirty your dress." He almost frowned at the sight of his blood on the floor, as it began seeping into the soft fabric of her skirt. "I don't give a damn about the dress." She waved his comment off, more worried about him. "Besides you're more important to me than some old dress." She leaned forward dropping her voice so only Charlie could hear her. "I'm going to remove these wretched things, but you must remain quiet, otherwise we'll both be in trouble." She waited for Charlie to nod his head in agreement before reaching for the strap on the muzzle. "There." She sighed softly as she pulled the muzzle away from his face. "Alright could you turn for me?" She asked planning on removing the straight jacket. "Nah leave it I'm alright, besides if someone decides to barge in 'ere, you won't get in as much trouble for removing just the muzzle." Charlie pointed out making (Y/n) bite her lip softly. "Good point." She nodded her head agreeing with him.

"So tell me Charlie, what happened?" (Y/n) asked as she removed a handkerchief from her handbag, slowly wiping away some of the blood from his face. "One of the guards took away that drawing you hung on my wall, the one you gave me the first day we worked together, cunt tore it up while talking ill about you. I wasn't gonna stand for it, so I beat the fucker bloody." Charlie observed her face, watching her closely as she frowned at his words. "Those bastards can't just let things be can they, always gotta rattle the cage, and punish those that bite back." She murmured while cleaning the last of the blood away the best she could. "Don't worry. You ever get outta here, I'll give you as many drawings as you'd like, then no one can ever take them from you again." (Y/n) smiled softly at Charlie, who began mulling over her words. Did he want to get out? Or did he still wish to stay?

Kadam Week 2021 Day 3 ~ I did not plan for this, but I'm glad you found a solution

This is me trying to not start something on a platform only to post solely somewhere else aka AO3 and ff.net  you can find the complete list of Kadam Week 2021 prompts and you might find more stories on the Kadam Week 2021 AO3 collection

That said, the third prompt is Love Letters

During most of the story Kurt and Adam are either away from each other or working at a summer camp around kids there's not much on the side of the description of them being all coupley but I think you could tell anyway they are more than just friends...

I still hope you'll give this a chance and have a good time reading it, so here we go, I present to you I did not plan for this, but I'm glad you found a solution (or read on ao3)

When Kurt signed up for a theatre summer camp for kids as a summer work project, he had honestly thought it was going to be in New York, for he was absolutely sure there was no mention of the camp being strongly discouraging taking electronics especially phones due to lack of data and mobile coverage.

He did recheck once he got home, nowhere it was written that they would have the camp in the middle of nowhere, where the no electronics rule was happily enforced by Mother Nature.

And to make things even worse Adam was flying back to the UK for two of the six weeks Kurt was going to be at the camp…

So even if Kurt managed to go into the town on his free day, and somehow the quaint small town, that was not yet willing to join the XXI century, still had a serviceable land phone, trying an international call was out of his wallet’s options.

Not if he was to take into account just how much he would miss his boyfriend.

It was even worse when Adam just patted his back when both of them met to go together at the airport before flying to their respective destinations.

To his immense surprise, once he reached the camp and his bungalow the camp’s director had a grin on her face and offered him a letter.

Upon taking a closer look a surprised smile appeared on his face.

It seemed his boyfriend had taken notice of how down he was about the whole situation and sent him a letter.

Knowing he had something to look forward to, Kurt managed to concentrate on getting familiar with the place and the other camp counsellors and instructors…

The lighter heart had been a blessing, and while he hadn’t suddenly acquired new bffs, he did manage to learn that the camp had every year an influx of three to five new counsellors.

Mostly all freshmen or second semester students, who had been fibbed into accepting the position, usually those were the ones who had something of value to share, at least in the opinion of their school's teachers.

It wasn’t until late in the evening when Kurt was in his room that he took the time to unpack properly that he found a box he was completely sure he never saw before.

Upon opening it Kurt found it was a stationary box, with adorable doodles on the letters’ paper and exactly six envelopes already with stamps and already addressed to Adam at his parent's place in the UK.

The amount sheets for the letters though was way higher and there were just as many remaining white envelopes to last Kurt the remaining of the month that was not covered by the first two weeks in which Adam was still on the other side of the ocean.

After placing the stationary box on his bedside table Kurt went for the letter that Adam had sent for him to receive upon arrival.

"Dearest Kurt,

I know you weren't expecting a lot of things about this experience, I hope you'll find it fun and enlighten. If I know you as well as I believe I do, by now you've already discovered that this specific camping program had the peculiarity of attracting every year few freshmen or second semester students recommended for the job. All of them usually arriving in here not knowing at all about the lack of modern commodities like data and mobile coverage.

All those students are one that the professors of their schools believe could learn something from the experience, and would be able to not only cope but excel in the challenge posed to them.

Some of the older counsellors have been in the same position you are in right now and then decided to return year after year.

I'm also pretty sure you've already found my parting gift in your suitcase, I know we were thinking of spending more time together and that the news of six weeks with no way of staying in contact with each other had been hard on you.

Don't worry my love, it has worked for thousands of lovers before, and if you’re amenable and desires to, then we can make do with writing letters while we are not able to talk with more modern means.

Usually it takes about a couple of days for a letter to cross the ocean and arrive at its destination. The first couple of letters you'll receive from me were sent before we left, so they could reach you and allow me to be able to put a smile on your face even without being present.

If you don't feel like writing then still please make pictures and send me proof that you're having a good time?

The camp’s director has a printer so don't try to wiggle your way out of this, because my darling I will write to you even if you'll leave me all alone to be a starstruck pining lover.

Know that I love you, and that I believe you will find the experience worthwhile in the end.

With all my love,

Adam"

Kurt was almost in tears by the time he reached the end of the letter and he shook his head grinning, Adam was absolutely wrong if he thought for a single moment that Kurt wouldn't return the sweet gesture choosing to send pictures instead.

Still as they hadn't been together that much yet there had not been a chance yet for Adam to actually see Kurt's own calligraphy set.

It was a pity he hadn't thought of taking it with him, in his misery upon the news of no electronics and no connectivity he had not thought of alternative slower ways to obtain the same result.

In his defence though, he had been under the false impression that there would be at least data coverage until right before leaving, at which point he had already packed and taken everything that he needed already and it was too late to return home and pick alternatives.

Reassigning himself to make do with a normal pen he started jetting down what was going to be the first of quite a few letters. Would they still be considered love letters since they did express the sentiment and were sent between lovers? Kurt wasn't completely sure, but the thought made him grin and blush at the same time.

"My dearest, Adam,

you wonderful man have no idea how much it means to me that you went through all the trouble of arranging this wonderful surprise for me. A way to stay in touch with you while we're apart, I confess by the time I realised how things were going to be, I was too frantic despairing to think that quickly such a simple and elegant solution.

My love, I do hope you were simply offering me an alternative to making sure I would not leave you completely alone and in the dark about how things were going for me when you mentioned eventually sending you prints of pictures.

There is no way I’d leave you pining on your lonesome, especially not while you take such attentive care to my own needs and you made sure to prevent me from suffering such fate.

There will be time to show you all the pictures I'll take, once we're together again and we can spend time in each other's arms.

You might not know yet, but by now you might have noticed that I do have an appreciation for calligraphy, and despite having to do with the poor mean of a roll pen there is no way I could waste this brilliant opportunity to write you a proper love letter.

As you rightly guessed I managed to talk with some of the other counsellors and figured out that there were few returning seniors, and the other first timers were just as blindsided as I was.

The camp’s director had a knowing smile when she handed me your letter. I suspect the others you mentioned were already in her possession but that she would pace releasing them into my hands.

Despite the brief panic you witnessed before leaving, I'm not really that averse to a nice break and being unavailable, but I usually prefer the chance to prepare and be ready for that.

I was very worried for my dad, I sent him a message while I was still in town and talked to the camp’s director about my worries and that I had left a message down at the town’s post office. I'll let you in on a secret, there is a working line in her office, under key of course.

But she allowed me to make a call to my dad when no one was looking, so that if something was to happen I would be reachable, even if I'm officially off the grid until my return to the big city life.

It was a big relief and it lifted another big weight from my shoulders.

I am so happy you thought of this, and I can't wait to hear more of your adventures from back home, as I'll share the adventures from into the woods...

With all my sincere love and admiration

Yours truly

Kurt"

To Kurt's surprise one of the breakfast rituals was the collection and distribution of the mail. With the announcement that even when the kids would arrive, this was going to be a daily ritual. As counsellors they were to encourage the kids to write back home, especially the ones feeling homesick.

As Kurt had suspected, there was a new letter for him on that day as well, and like the previous one, he kept it for the evening to cheer himself up before going to bed.

As Adam has said in his second letter, indeed once the kids arrived it all became at the same time easier and harder.

Easier because the feeling of loneliness and missing Adam had to be put on the back burner during the day. And the letters kept Kurt happy and cherished during the evenings after he socialised with his peers sharing stories of the day with the others.

Harder because his kids were all super excited and easily excitable. In all honesty they reminded Kurt a lot of how he remembered feeling when he was a little younger than them and he still qualified for the Lima theatre summer camp...

By the end of the first week, once every one of his kids had sent at least one letter home, Kurt finally figured out why he had been assigned them. All of them came from small Ohio towns that, like Lima, wouldn't have catered for their artistic inclinations. Kurt made a mental note to check with the head if it had been a coincidence or not.

On the weekend of the second week, once the first period ended and the first turnover happened, the camp’s director announced that more counsellors were going to join them to help out with the new influx of kids since they would be at full capacity from there on until the end of the program.

On sunday’s morning Kurt had run late for breakfast because one of his kids who was going to stay for longer than two weeks, was not finding one of their shoes, and they had to find it before they could join the others.

With things being that way, when he entered the dining hall, all the new counsellors had already been introduced and the mail was being delivered.

Kurt guided his kid to their table and in less than three minutes all his kids still present were giggling and looking ready to burst, while attempting to appear normal. Before Kurt could turn and check what was so funny Adam's letter was being held in front of him by a very familiar hand, with an equally familiar bracelet hugging the wrist.

Kurt automatically grabbed the letter and he turned to find himself face to face with Adam.

Both their eyes shining with happiness, "Hellu Kurt. Surprise"

Kurt grinned and bit his lower lip, the giggling kids at his back reminding him that there was still work to do "Hellu Adam, I should have known you'd be one of the returning seniors, I look forward working together."

Adam nodded still smiling "As I do, I'll let you go back to your day now. I’ll see you later."

Kurt smiled brilliantly and nodded back "I'll see you later, have a good day"

The kids, as Kurt suspected had been super curious and with it being the last day for some, he indulged them in revealing that indeed that was the same friend Adam who had written to Kurt keeping him from feeling homesick in the previous weeks.

That evening once the new kids had been safely tucked in bed Kurt finally had a moment to properly greet his boyfriend "I am so happy to see you in here, though you could have told me you were going to join me in here once you got back to the states."

Adam smiled softly kissing Kurt's temple "But then you would have lived waiting for this day instead of making the most of those past couple of weeks. And maybe you wouldn’t have cherished as much the letters we were exchanging. While we’re on that note. Thank you for yours, they were wonderful and I was so happy to receive them."

Kurt smiled with his eyes closed and his arms wrapped tightly around Adam's waist "They were a balm and the one thing I kept for myself as an evening ritual. Sitting on my bed and reading your letter. I didn't have any day so bad that I had to read them before evening, which is what I had reasoned could be a good coping mechanism. Keep your letter for the night when it was private time, or as comfort if things went south and I couldn't handle them before night fell."

Adam hummed softly murmuring "I'm glad for that."

The next monday’s morning set up the pattern for the rest of their stay. They would both take their kids to breakfast and find a letter in a white envelope with their name and the camp’s address waiting for them to be delivered, just like it had happened for the past two weeks for Kurt.

The remaining month passed in no time at all, the day passed quickly and the evenings were filled with laughters and making new friends while sharing stories with the other counsellors.

Once it was Kurt’s turn for the final interview to wrap up the whole experience, the camp’s director before parting asked curious “So was Adam right? Were you able to see just how many families were touched and gained from your father’s work?”

Kurt looked taken aback so he asked confused “What do you mean?”

She smiled kindly and proceeded to explain “All the kids you took care of, they were all able to be here this summer because your father campaigned and set up a fund for supporting the arts in small towns. He had to prove that there was the request for such support, and he had been challenged to demonstrate it could work starting from the state he was representing.”

Kurt bit his lips “A state notoriously not that art oriented”

She nodded grinning, “And I can tell you we had to limit the acceptance because there are ratios we need to respect for security reasons. But all those kids you took care of came from just as many families who benefited from your dad’s work. Adam was the one who suggested you be their mentor during their stay. And I think he was right, the families and the kids themselves think that too, as every single one of your kids was ecstatic that someone like them had made it and reached his dream school.”

Kurt felt tears forming in his eyes, so he started to try blinking them away. Emotions made it a little difficult but he still managed to say a grateful “Thank you” before leaving and searching for Adam.

Once Kurt found him he hugged his boyfriend tightly and said in a low voice “Thank you for all you’ve done for me this summer, I never thought I’d see first hand the results of my dad’s work. I knew what it meant for me and how I wished those were opportunities I had, but I never suspected it was going to reaching so far and so many.”

Adam held Kurt just as tightly and said back softly “I know you were so worried for your dad earlier on during the semester. So I wanted you to realise that your dad is important for a whole lot more people than you even realise. That no matter how difficult things might get, you’re not alone in wishing the best for your dad.”

Kurt then raised his face from Adam’s chest and said grinning “And you also wanted to make sure I’d fell in love with this camp as much as you are so next year we’d come here together…”

Adam chuckled but didn’t deny the playful accusation.

By the time autumn came around and leases were up, they moved in together, and during moving day it was discovered how each kept their letters into a special boxes safe and easily accessible.

When christmas came around the couple took part into a papermaking and bookbinding crafting course.

By the following valentine’s day each set of letters had been lovingly built into a ecoleather bound diary containing all the letters the couple exchanged since their first ones the previous summer. ~The End~ AN: One last thing that's more a game, if you found the small easter egg in the story, feel free to reach back to me, I can bake you your fave virtual cookie, or make a story out of a prompt you have in mind/wish to see. (hint it's from Hamilton...)

Joker

there was some artwork from someone on tublr..where they pointed out that he doesnt really talk outside the metaverse so--hes hyperverbal as joker and just near nonverbal as akiren

he stims ALL THE TIME. that phone thing, the pencil thing, the little tappy tap of his foot, pulling at his bangs when hes embarrassed/smug. someone get him a fidget spinner. he’ll prob learn to do tricks with it

he probably sucks at focusing in class, like i know its just the game design but hes always surprised out of his daily “star out the window at the nearby office building” when his teachers ask him questions

mona mentions when the pt is at Wilton for the first time (after they run into shido) that joker eats like shit, and that could have multiple causes at the start of the story of course, but when i first played i thought that joker was a picky eater and that the variety (and amount of food) at the buffet would be an Ordeal...

tho mona makes that comment bc joker looked pale after having a little ptsd moment from shidos voice, but i didnt know that the first time i played

maybe when joker makes a face at ryuji putting so much ginger in his gyudon? joker probably does not like pickled ginger lol

his favortive foods are all spicy, which is why the curry he makes for his friends is always ‘overly spicy’, and why kasumi makes him a curry bento and joker kept going “...?” .... “....?!”

overly reflective glasses have been a great plus for him bc now he never has to make real eye contact every again!

mona Soft. play with Ann hair. maybe Braid. nice

puns (Gorou the Goroumet)

he has so many options to be straight up rude sometimes in game. he probably no clue on his own, which is why he defaults to Not Talking. people probably mention his constant scary face, which is just him being nonexpressive, squinting at all the fucking bright lights, and Tired

executive function who? we do everything last minute folks

high pain tolerance, which is why he was the kid that was always climbing trees in elementary school to get basketballs unstuck from the branches

his sixth sense lets him see treasure and possible places to climb/crawl bc 1. Shiny? Steal it. Steal it Now. and 2. Could i fit in that? Time to Find Out

probalby a bit of a klepto too oops. he’ll return it tho!! but he has to do it dramatically or he’ll die

cant sit properly to save his life

smells and touch are Great, they can keep him grounded when his brain goes off to police or dead rivals or guilt or

if a friend hung out with him and gave him total reigns of the agenda, he would choose to nap on the floor while his friend does something off to the side quietly

hyperfocuses on handy tasks (i.e. lockpicks, coffee brewing, cleaning, his part time jobs) and some things like movies and books. everything else is a tossup

his (normal) navigation app is his most used app bc he still doesnt know where hes going, even though he only goes to the same few places in the city

hates being sweaty, literally cannot stand it. probably double exhausted during the summer

but Needs Compression so hes often Struggling

Futaba

paraphrase from p5d “i have no motor skills so i cant play rhythm games :(” need i say more? (i will regardless)

echolalia all the time, from anime, memes, the PT

those headphones she wears all the time? noise cancelling ear protectors babey

only talks about her interests, “normal” talking is Not Easy, but she is still communicative w others despite her worries. shes not “hard to understand” at all but she feels the anxiety nonetheless

only talks informally, cannot talk ‘politely’ with out imitating someone around her

shes had meltdowns and anxiety attacks in game :( i relate so hard

Technology. thats it

def had an egypt phase that pops up every few months. probably came from yu-gi-oh

has Immune to Bright Lights buff.  joker is very jealous

“Time to make like a tree and leave!” and 30 other iterations

video game metaphors are the only ones that makes sense to her

probably relates hard to robot characters in anime for their general androgyny and confusion about human emotions and connections

probably gets told that shes “too smart to be on the spectrum” by teachers >:( she fails their classes on purpose

wakaba’s autistic too that just how it is

the Connection that she establishes with Joker is so Warm. my life goals include adopting an older brother like futaba has lsdkfjslkfj

also eater of 5 foods only, i mean, she brings cup ramen to the beach. i just really admire her...

hides in small spaces for comfort

doesnt she have like uhhhhh hyperthymesia or something like that?

Yusuke

art

his entire social link is learning how humans work, which i relate

talks seriously all the time

“sarcasm? who is that? are you saying I was sarcastic?...how?”

cant remember to take care of his body, and madarame did not help with that either

lot of uncomfortable staring, hes overdoing the eye contact thingy

infodumps all the time, doesnt know hes doing it

needs a lot of support even if he doesnt think he deserves it. no one ever complains about helping him out tho

visual stims my friends

he didnt know that you could look up pictures on the internet but he does know you can stream live videos of waterfalls and fluffy animales!!

I am certainly in the mood

for something salty today.

he and joker are scared of math. numbers do not interact

Yusuke, futaba, and akiren are a trio and i know this bc their first day of non-thievery interacts is Akiren clearing Futabas room w/o permission, futaba hyperfocusing on destroying medjed, and yusuke rearranging futabas figurines so they are more visually appealing

morgana is a support friend for all of them bc igor knows they need it

P4

Souji/Yu

yes, he mostly wears gray semi formal clothes bc parents tell him to, no, he will not changes this

Schedule or Death

“sorry, could you repeat that?” “huh? oh yeah, i was saying that--” “yeah that’d be cool.”

cats, fishing, he just likes to be quiet. you can literally spend a day at the beach just to think if you want, and that is what yu want

has a lot of scripts for things (of which he shares with nanako!) but if he runs out he just stops talking..

inaba is a godsend bc its so fucking quiet and warm

he Yearns to hold his friends hands, but he shies away from a lot of touch (excepting yosuke, teddie, and nanako)

Cooking and Cleaning makes the world better. he and joker vibe together with this

unlike akiren, he strong arms any executive dysfunction into Be Productive or Else. his punishment is feeling the pure anxiety of having to make up for ‘lost time’. (another symptom of his workaholic parents)

writes everything down, notes are very neat, has pages dedicated for bad doodles when hes not feeling his usual Super Classroom Focus

Cannot handle secondhand embarrassment (most often caused by yosuke) and will quietly slip away to random cats or origami folding

hungry, crunch crunch folks. probably needs chewelry bc he used to chew on his shirt collars when he was younger.

cleans up after everyone in the food court, constantly worries about them accidently hurting themselves. likely spends half of group conversations watching peoples hands

he canonically eats expired food, nanako plz help your brother

really clumsy, but people only notice after they decide that he is a cool person

video games are too chaotic for him

exhausted every night from the pure amount of masking he does, if a friend spends the night (or is like yosuke) they will know his more comfortable weirdo self (tho everyone knows hes a weirdo eventually)

hyperempathetic, sometimes just understands animals and children better than peeople his age or older

Yukiko

her jokes

she and souji get in ‘trouble’ together, she and joker commit crimes together

she and chie have to coordinate outfits, its important

actually understands metaphors, but does not understand people

like me, had no clue that creepy kid was flirting with her

she is very angry when she has meltdowns that might involve slamming doors and shouting. her parents call these ‘tantrums’ and ‘unfitting for a polite daughter’ but really thats because her meltdowns tend to be caused by arguments w her family after a long day of school and TV world traipsing

the metronome meme, except hers goes between Loudest Person in the Room to Quietest Pin Drop in the Planet. she is completely unaware of this

her atmosphere brightens when chie appears. that is not only the lesbian energy within her, but also because chie is like her Favorite Person

Cannot wear Pants. No (tho she wants to try it! but she puts them on and her soul instantly squashes)

happy flappy lesbian! watch out!

Naoto

the pouty face. all the time lskdfjlasdkf

hes really snappy sometimes and i love that for him. he and akechi should fight just to see what would happen (please read Bang Bang Shoot Shoot on AO3)

“do not touch me or my hat, thank you”

no one has ever seen him shutdown and no one ever will (except for his grandpa)(and kanji)(and rise)

probably likes certain food textures and will stand for nothing less, probably feels embarrassed about his preferences with friends

constantly jumps between ‘everybody hates me so i should act like them so they dont hate me’ to ‘i refuse to be anything but very comfortable as myself, and i dont care that im making you upset sir’

he and souji are the king and queen of subtle stims, but for unhappy reasons :(

does not make jokes. cannot joke around. understand? yes, do? no.

loose clothes are the only good clothes, but all tags and obtrusive seams will be obliterated by kanji tatsumi

not very empathetic so he probably comes off as an asshole to strangers (like when he throws away his classmates confession letters without reading them) but he tries so hard to sound comforting when his buds are struggling.

his understanding of others emotions/reactions come from his learning as a detective, which seems cold+clinical to others, especially compared to souji, whos completely unexpressive but very introverted people person

P3

Hamuko/Minako/Kotone

big personality!! very people-oriented!! koromaru and her are buddies!! when shes having a real bad time, shes very quiet and expressions turn off

interrupts herself in the middle of conversations all the time. no one knows where shes coming from. her brains is thousands of km ahead of her body

bouncey legs, swingin arms, twirlly skirt, little somersaults! when will she stop? never!

very obvious music stims with her hands and arms! people are like “oh there she goes! happy as usual!” shes listening to minatos heavy metal playlist

switches from exhausted to excited within milliseconds. no one can predict, not even her

SEES has to ask her for context all the time cuz she’ll just continue shit from 2 weeks ago without warning

professionals will assume shes very childish bc of how chipper she is, but she is beyond mature for her age and only feels comfortable enough to have serious conversations if a person has proved themself able to handle it

collects every little thing. her room is a mess and she has to get rid of most of it every time she moves :(

hates cleaning! smells bad, feels bad hhhhhgggg

dont let mitsuru-senpai see her bedroom

gets lost in the middle of conversations with others bc shes thinking about a story connected to one(1) word that was said earlier

 no sense of time and place, she just sees her friends and goes “ah, this is the right place, then” but junpei and akihiko are also lost so now theyre all screwed

Minato/Makoto/Sakuya

no talkies, no walkies

his story in the movies is him literally learning how to function around people he cares for

doesnt get jokes, expressions, body language, empathy, subtlety, metaphors, physical contact, or eye contact. aigis is probably the only person he truly understands right away

he is still nice to people because he doesnt see a reason not to be, but also he has very limited energy so only his senpai and old people get his most polite-kindnesses

cannot describe feelings for the life of him. the team wont know hes injured or sick until hes passed out

everything is too loud, time to drown it out with my loud ass music

rocking and chewing stims, ryoji is the first person to point him out for these subtle stims (not accusingly of course, just general pure curiosity and love for the uniqueness of humanity)

likes to cover his face with whatever is available, lives like a bat in a dark dry cave

will wear anything that has pockets and his blue/gray/black palette

sleepy at all times bc he never has much energy

when he was younger he probably needed a lot of support, especially after his parents died, because he wouldnt communicate like a neurotypical and would shutdown for hours in the middle of school without warning. probably missed a lot of lessons and field trips out of pure overstimulation

eating at all times. no preference, just whatevers closest

his meltdowns probalby include humming whining noises and curling up in a ball, which makes people want to touch him, but that is the LAST thing he wants. put a blanket on him! play some music! do not talk and do not expect him to speak

aigis is the only person who can touch him normally bc her hands are cold and he likes cold

never nude, feels mmmmmmmmm without clothes and probalby wears a full robe in the hotsprings

will not do things that take more than one step w/o someone else walking him thru it, which Same

An introduction / Frequently asked questions / @fivestarstudy_

Hi! I am Edith, 19 years old, turning 20 this February (2020).

I was born and raised in Transylvania, Romania, and some might say I’m a vampire. I lack all the qualities of one, besides the color of my skin, but I am sure I would be a good one with enough practice :D

Ethnicity: Hungarian, nationality: Romanian.

I am currently enrolling into the 2nd sem of the 1st year at UBB, Cluj Napoca, where I study Cultural Anthropology.  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_anthropology). I live in a dorm, with 3 other girls, and they are the best roommates I could get. I often travel home on the weekends, or whenever I don’t have classes, so you see me on the train a lot.

In the summertime you see me post about my orange desk, at home, with all the fairy lights and illustrations, and when it is uni time, you’ll see me post about this grey desk, from the common study room of my dormitory. I loved drawing since I was a kid, and a way for me to satisfy the creative side of my brain, is to draw on my pictures. I find soo much joy in it!! I sometimes create printables as well, but I need to learn more.

Okay, enough of me, now into the most asked questions. PLS READ THIS before asking. If you still have questions pop into my dm’s <3

🌷 EDITING /  DIGITAL STUFF

1.     What apps do you use to edit your pictures?

Lightroom – light adjusting, color correction, etc. (FREE)

Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adobe-lightroom-photo-editor/id878783582 Autodesk Sketchbook – doodles. (FREE)

Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/autodesk-sketchbook/id883738213 I have an IG TV video where I show my process.

Link: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B1HJR4XB94E/

2.     Do you use a pencil or do I need a pencil to draw on pictures?

Nope. I only use my fingers *khm*. The secret is to zoom in a lot. I MEAN A LOT LOT.

3.     What app do you use to create your printables?

Adobe Photoshop & Adobe InDesign

4.     What do you take your photos with?

An iPhone SE.

5.     What kind of laptop do you have?

It is an ASUS Vivo Book S14.

Intel Core i5, 8th generation, 8gb RAM, and it is light as a feather. (~1,2kg)

🌷 APPS and such

1.     What is your screensaver? How can I get it?

It is a Chrome Extension, called Momentum Dash. (FREE)

Link: https://momentumdash.com/

2.     Where is that black and white calendar wallpaper from?

Link: fivestarstudying.tumblr.com

3.     How can I add you on Forest?

Email: fivestarstudygram@gmail.com

🌷 RANDOM

1.     Do you have a YT channel?  Are you planning on creating one?

I have one, but I don’t post anything on it. There are many reasons, a few being: I can’t edit videos properly, I don’t have what to film with. Also, I don’t think video creating, in general, is my style, so much likely I won’t have videos on Youtube.  A few here in there on IG TV, but that's it for now. But we’ll see what the future holds ;)

2.     Do you have an Etsy shop/Patreon etc.?

Nope, and I am not planning on creating one soon.  If I ever decide to create one, I want to make sure that I deliver quality products/content, and I don’t have the time right now for that, nor the skillset. It is flattering that you guys would like to support me on other platforms as well, but right now it would be too much pressure, even though I would love to create, because I’ve been drawing my whole life, and grew up loving art. But I also believe that everything has its time and we have to be patient with ourselves. <3

In the meantime, if you want to, you can show your support by interacting with my content on Instagram, using hashtag #fivestarstudy, and using my printables. 

🌷 STUDYING / MOTIVATION

1.     How do you motivate yourself to get up and study/do your work/be productive?

Well, not sure. It is different every time.

But I noticed that there is a pattern.

I know that I have to do so many things. I get stressed, that I don’t have enough time to do it, so I think I might as well don’t start. I realize that that’s no way to approach things. I sit down and plan my day in my Bullet Journal. I plan out how I will spend every hour. I put on a 1-hour tree on Forest and start doing the work. I rest. Repeat until I’m done. I also reward myself with chocolate, a youtube video, a shower, a nap.  

It is this simple, and there is no magic behind it.

2.     How do you plan?

I have an A5 sized Bullet Journal, where I plan out my month in advance with a 2-page calendar, then I create daily logs, leaving enough space for every day to plan. I write down important dates such as paper due dates, exam dates, when will a package arrive, dates, etc. and I plan my days around them. 

[shkspr]

Oh for the character headcanon meme! I know u love to talk about Crowley! So crowley, and whichever questions you particularly want to answer!

do they have any daily rituals?

you know he just lives for that lazy hour or so in the morning when he can stretch and drink his coffee and catch up on all his social media.. also i firmly believe he keeps a journal and writes in it every day. 

favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

crowley’s favorite indulgence is anything that’s ridiculously expensive. he never pays for any of it and that makes it all the better. he is of the belief that one must indulge in order to properly appreciate life, but he also has a bit of self-loathing telling him he doesn’t deserve to indulge, and so he gets his kicks by doing his job at the same time. petty theft isn’t really his bag, he usually springs for good old-fashioned manipulation to get very fancy shit for free and spread low-level evil simultaneously.

makeup?

yes! big yes! in line with the above, and also something i’ve mentioned many times before, he has quite the collection of high-end and luxury makeup, but he isn’t like, Good at makeup? he’s not bad at it either, he just does what he wants. he picks products based on smell and price, and nothing else. he pairs a bold lip with a completely bare face. his makeup is avant garde. and he doesn’t wear it every day, and usually when he does wear a full face it’s just to get a good selfie and then take it off.

neuroses? do they recognize them as such?

he is literally a bundle of neuroses in a human suit, but he thinks he’s like a cool and rational guy, usually. sometimes when he has a seriously intense panic attack he’ll be like “aw fuck that was rough” but when he gets anxious or when he gets adhd brain he’s usually like, “this is normal, i’m reacting the way anybody would in this situation,”

sexual orientation? and thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

anthony j. crowley does not get enough credit for how unbelievably homosexual he is. he’s so gay. he’s so fucking gay he heard the end of the world was coming and he thought, “you know what i should do? raise a child with my closest platonic friend.” he says ciao. he’s gay. as far as his thoughts on sexual orientation in general, he’s very “everyone should mind their own business,” with a healthy dose of “human sexuality is a beautiful thing”

what do they think about before falling asleep at night?

crowley’s inner monologue, 11:36pm: “i wonder what aziraphale’s up to right now. tomorrow’s gonna be a nice day, maybe i should get out and do some bad deeds. did the deadline pass to enroll in that embroidery class? i don’t know, i’ll have to ask aziraphale, he keeps track of my schedule better than i do. maybe if i wake up early enough, i can go get a scone from that place down the street. but that would be really early... maybe i’ll make scones. that’s a lot of work. aziraphale probably has scones. gosh, i want a scone right this second. would aziraphale bring me a scone if i called him right now? probably not. probably not. then again, it’s not like he’s sleeping. i’ll call him, gauge his mood, then decide whether or not to ask about the scones. and if he needs some convincing, i’ve got a cheval blanc lying around. surely he’ll put down his book and bring me some scones if i offer him a cheval blanc.” and then he thinks in loops about scones and wine and aziraphale until he actually falls asleep, and then he gets his scones in the morning.

given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

depends on his mood, i think. if he’s feeling lazy, he’ll doodle. he likes to do geometric patterns. if his brain is chugging, he’ll write out some thoughts, possibly in the form of poetry, just to get it all out. sometimes he’ll do actual drawings, sketch his surroundings, stuff like that, and sometimes he’ll make a to-do list. he really just doesn’t like to have idle hands, so he’ll take whatever is occupying his mind and transfer it into a physical activity.

reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster

crowley has big “if i keep moving and keep going and don’t stop doing things then the feelings can’t catch me” energy. he’ll distract himself with business or pleasure, immerse himself completely in whatever he can find in order to keep his mind off of whatever has gone wrong in his life, provided it’s something he can’t fix.

concept of home and family?

you know the iconic song “to have a home” from the hit musical a very potter sequel? that plays in crowley’s head every time he looks at aziraphale.

thoughts on privacy? (are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘tmi’?)

he generally believes that nothing is anybody’s business but his own, with the exceptions being: 1. when he can make someone uncomfortable by being far too familiar with them, and 2. when he’s with aziraphale.

religion?

the j stands for Jew

[inactivegardenum]

hi everyone! i’ve been dealing with depression for a while now. i’m daily getting better and trying to figure out a way to return to be a studious kid.

here are some things that will hopefully help you out:

reality

- it’s very, very important to admit that depression damages our perception of reality. in many ways, we see ourselves as worse than we are, and we’ve got to light your confidence once again

- so, speaking about studies: you might be pretty fucked. happens. you were mentally ill and that’s fine not to respond efficiently to school during this particular time, but now you need to hang it in there and make it to the next year

- and how the hell are you supposed to do this? well, not alone. talk to your doctor, parents, school and / or friends. alongside with them, you’ll find yourself able to scheme a plan that suits the maintainence of your well-being – commonly the others have constructive perceptions of us, which can help –, but also is quite objective to fight against your loss

now

- please, only keep in your mind one objective: passing this year. i know we’re trying our best all the time and how tiring it gets. i know, though i need you to try just a bit more, alright?

- lets think clearly: thinking about next year and such will only make you anxious, unfocusing you from your objective

studying concepts

- we create a lot of concepts, don’t we, and then we feel disappointed because we can’t make them real. i know

- i know it’s been centuries since you got your pen and notebooks in order to revise something, and it felt properly done… everything is a process. it’s not only because we decided that we’re gonna do some action that it’ll be at first try

- but lets just not overate making decisions. no, they are the initial part of the process. it means that you’re getting better and can now think straight upon strategies

- now, creating concepts can be pretty cool to get the study mood again. just give it a look

actual studying

- don’t be afraid of changing your studying methods

- preparing your study place:

power off your phone, get water blah blah blah… i know, you know. but lets do this

don’t face the walls. place yourself close to a movimented window. i know you can get distracted, but you can experiment as well, and looking through the window is wasy more conforting than at a boring wall when we can’t solve an exercise

- when you’re finally clear minded but just can’t start:

remember the process thing? do bits and pieces of the big picture you’ve got to work on; fake it until you make it

do stuff that feels productive and is as well not very tiring as studying

- when you can’t function:

go for a walk

can’t go for a walk because it’s too late, too dangerous? if you’d still like to walk or feel active, you can always take a shower, clean your bedroom and even dance!!! 

write down everything you’d like to do in a day. then, prioritise 1-3 tasks and try to get them done

call a family member to talk about the weather or how you can’t function

change your studying place —sometimes, i study at the kitchen, the living room or my parents’ office

get some company — i don’t quite know why, but just having my mum or my dad sitting in front of me while i’m studying make me instaneously more confident and focused

doodle — it doesn’t have to seem pretty as everyone else’s here on tumblr does

take a nap, star gaze for a little while, google something weird and find out everything about it, go on youtube and watch your ‘watch later’ section… i don’t know, just don’t punish yourself because you’re not doing how you expected to do

- when you can function:

lie down on your bed and say it to yourself “i’m fucking amazing”

- when you’re running out of time for doing something really important

do it, even if you know it won’t be as good as it could if you had more time

if you end up not doing this, remember that it’s not very okay, but eventually it’ll be! don’t punish yourself and talk to your therapist about this

 - know that you can get a legal absence from school 

- if you didn’t let your school know about your condition, then this is the time. now, you’re well and can definetely receive and applicate the support your teachers can offer you

i sincerely hope that these “tips” are at least a bit helpul to anyone. please let me know wether any of this shows itself helpul!!! my ask is always open if anyone needs to talk or just give me a feedback. you got this.

wishing you all the very best on earth!!!

[g00ddreams]

I kinda wanna talk about aesthetics... cuz ever since you mentioned SKATER BOYS JISUNG + uhhhhh Jeno? Jaemin I think? Tbh I just honed in on skater boy!Jisung AHHHHH!!! I cant stop think about them in all their ear-pierced glory, skinny ripped jeans that are completely falling apart, an assortment of band tees and backwards caps and eyeliner fjdhskkdhhosfifk

So I’m just gonna give all of their “archetypes” and styles in the main highschool au

Mark: skater kid and music kid (he’s the only one who is truly a combo). He normally wears t-shirts, jeans, and a flannel or hoodie (typically wrapped around his waist). His jeans didn’t originally have holes in them but oh well. He got Renjun to paint his guitar and his skateboard with koi fish. He’s pretty chill and will take the rest of the guys to get their tattoos and piercings since they can’t drive yet but doesn’t plan on getting too many. He has one small tattoo near his wrist and piercings in his lobes. He doesn’t plan on getting too many more piercings but maybe another small tattoo.

Renjun: art kid. His normal style is more comfortable that cool. Hoodies and jeans that aren’t extremely tight are his go to. On stage he’ll rock a pair of skinny jeans and some eyeliner but off he’d rather be bare faced and in jeans that don’t cut off circulation. He has the most ear piercings and also a lip ring. His tattoos are all both pretty and meaningful (and most of them he designed himself). Pretty much everything he touches is covered in paint, from his jeans to his shoes the pencil he borrowed from Jeno yesterday. He paints skateboards and guitars for the boys and every time he finished a piece they shower him in praise.

Jeno: Music kid. Honestly I imagine him dressing like he did the boy video 10 (the denim outfit) except with a few more piercings and the clothes a bit more distressed. (I’m also gonna say he has black hair because that’s top tier.) Jeno hasn’t gotten his tattoo yet but he does have a fake nose/lip ring to help him decide if he actually wants to get a nose or lip piercing. Also wants gauges but his parents want him to think that over a bit more. His acoustic has a space scene painted on it and he calls it his prized possession. His stage outfit doesn’t change too much, he just puts on eyeliner really.

Hyuck: skater kid. This boy is the ripped jean king. If he doesn’t buy them pre ripped, his rips them on his own so he can get the tears exactly where he wants them. Owns quite a few flannels (mostly in red but occasionally he’ll bust out the black ones.) He typically dresses in torn up jeans, a band tee (likely from Hot Topic), a too large flannel (unbuttoned but tucked together and in at the front) and the torn up converse or vans that he refuses to part with. Boy also wears eyeliner on a daily basis (even if he didn’t feel like doing any other makeup). He has the “edgiest” tattoo of “fuck” right above his elbow. He’s got quite a few ear piercings and will probably get a younger piercing when Renjun is like out of town (just so he can’t be told that it’s a stupid idea). His skateboard looks like a Jackson Pollock painting and he thinks it’s pretty cool. (Also would this really be Hyuck if he didn’t have bright red hair?) He doesn’t even change to go on stage, he’ll show up in what he went to school in and no one questions it because it matches the rest of their stage outfits anyways.

Jaemin: another skater kid. His style looks like he raided the nearby vintage shop for all their skate clothes and some windbreakers. (I think there’s a photo somewhere on this blog that of one of my outfits that I could see Jaemin wearing.) His jeans are also destroyed but that’s from doing tricks or wiping out on his skateboard instead of being intentional like Hyuck’s. He already has gauges and a tattoo and is considering getting an eyebrow piercing and more tattoos. He has stickers all over his skateboard (some of which are glittery princess ones because the boys bought them as a joke, not realizing that Jaemin actually does put every sticker he comes in contact with on his skateboard). When he’s on stage he typically ditches the jacket and sometimes wears a tank top (he has to move the most and if you’ve ever been to a concert/watched one online, you’ll see that the drummers typically wear the lightest/least amount of clothes).

Chenle: music kid. Tries to dress cool but is honestly just really cute. His jeans are the most intact but he does have a couple pairs that are torn from where Jisung tried to teach him how to skate. He’s stolen a few of Jisung’s flannels and hoodies because “Oversized clothing is in and your clothes are over sized to me, Jisung.” He has a piano which remains unpainted by Renjun but there are sticky notes with Renjun’s doodles on the piano. He’s tied with Mark on the fewest piercings (just lobes) and doesn’t really plan on getting a tattoo unless it truly means a lot to him. He does have the lavender hair he had during We Young (just because I really like that hair.)

Jisung: skater kid. His style is pretty similar to Haechan’s except he skips the makeup and his flannels fit properly. He does occasionally change up the flannel for a hoodie. He’ll occasionally “complain” about his flannels and hoodies ~*mysteriously*~ going missing. He actually has a few pairs of vans that he can swap out instead of depending on one pair that is well past it’s prime. He only has 3 piercings (one in each lobe, and one in the cartilage of his left ear) and is happy with that for now. His skateboard has a dragon painted on it, courtesy of Renjun.

I haven’t actually written much for Chenle and Jisung in the highschool au thing yet (I was stumped on Chenle for a while and ended up just not doing either of them because I’m lazy) but now I have a couple ideas lol
