i drink coffee because it tastes good to me.
i cant remember a time in my adult life where i didnt like coffee, but i started drinking it more regularly while i had a job at dunkin donuts, because we got free drinks on our breaks so i got to try all sorts of flavor pumps i'd never had before. the caffine doesnt really effect me, or at least doesnt seem to effect me the way it effects other people? so i can drink it without so many side effects, i can drink it just for taste
i dont drink it so much these days, but just because i find the process of making a cup to be a hassle. but its nice, when i feel like it!
when im having a dessert, a straight coffee pairs nicely because it's like the bitterness sweeps away the sweetness with each bite+sip. like a yummy palate cleanser. when i make the coffee into a cold sweet drink, then the bitterness of the coffee adds a flavor dimension to the sweetness that makes it nice, it's different from just drinking like a milkshake or whatever. and when i have a cafe au lait, it makes for a nice rich drink but it's still mellowed out by the milk.
these days i only have it once in a while as a treat, but it's a treat to me. soooo. that's why i drink it lmao
People who drink coffee: why did you start?
I don't drink coffee and I've never wanted to, but that's obviously ~not normal~, so I'm curious why most people do start drinking it.
#also like quality of the coffee beans really does make a difference#the super cheap stuff that makes gritty bitter burned coffee sucks#but when you have a slightly nicer machine and even mid-level beans it creates a way more drinkable flavor#and apparently the Really Good Stuff has all sorts of flavor dimensions. some folks get really into it#im a tea guy. if im making a cup at home im brewing myself tea#BUT. if im out. their tea probably sucks. and they might have a foamless cafe au lait. in which case gimmie gimmie

─ ✰ BREWING AFFECTION.
✧˚ · . NAGI SEISHIRO loves sleeping, soccer, and gaming. he also doesn’t mind you coffee too.
— warnings: coffee shop! au, fluff, crackfic, reo hating on readers barista skills, downbad nagi (hes oblivious af), maybe ooc?
— author’s note: NOT TUMBLR BUTCHERING THE QUALITY OF MY HEADER. THIS IS NOT OK.
"…so… this was the coffee shop you were talking about?” reo probes nagi tentatively, face crinkled in slight confusion. the small café nestled in the hidden corner of some obscure street— nothing extravagant, and certainly not what he expected. it’s a quiet sanction, only a few patrons savoring the quiet ambience of the modest establishment.
"mhm," nagi hums in affirmation. his eyes are glued to his screen, fingers violently tapping his phone as he skillfully maneuvers through the critical attack from the boss battle. reo doubts he was listening to a word he was saying. he raises his eyebrows skeptically, surveying the surroundings of the quaint little shop. he’s well aware nagi sacrifices fifteen whole minutes of his precious sleep on wednesdays and saturdays to walk all the way here— there must, has to be something special about this place. yet all he can spot are a couple of worn-down couches, cute decorations, and the smell of grinding beans in the air; nothing particularly stands out.
'is the coffee just that good?' reo wonders to himself, his thoughts interrupted when you hastily set a tray down at their table. your hair is tied in a messy bun, name tag displayed largely at the side of your stained apron. "i'm so sorry— morning rush! two triple foam lattes, half a shot of espresso with a dash of cinnamon, right?" the words tumble out, an apology and a question all in one, accompanied by a warm aura that absolutely nobody else in customer service seemed to carry.
…that’s… not…. even close… he deadpans. “um, actually—” he starts, but is quickly interrupted by nagi cutting him off. “t’s good. thanks.” he mutters, hazy half-lidded grey eyes boring into your oblivious, starry-eyed ones. the tips of his ears turn the slightest bit pink as he blows a tuft of his hair out of his eyes. his phone is completely discarded, ‘GAME OVER.’ pixelated largely on his screen as reo’s eyes widen slightly. …did he… die on purpose? no way. but… he was just about to beat the whole game…?
you smile giddily. finally, you got an order right!! “really? i’m so glad! enjoy your drink!” you eagerly exclaim as you walk away, feeling encouraged to pump out the other orders.
“…we ordered two large macchiatos.” nagi shrugs lazily, fiddling with the plastic straw in his drink. “tastes the same. ‘t’s too much of a hassle to correct them.”
“whatever,” reo sighs, “we’ve been waiting thirty minutes for this— it better make my mouth orgasm.” thirstily taking a huge slurp of the drink, he lets the coffee settle for a moment before not so subtly gagging at the aftertaste. how can someone possibly screw up this badly? it tastes like… tepid brown water. this should be a war crime. no offense, but who thought it was a good idea to hire you? “uhm… it’s *retches* certainly an acquired flavour…” he represses another gag as the fluffy white haired male tunes him out once again.
as reo contemplates the questionable quality of his latte, nagi remains blissfully unaware of his own feelings, doing what he does every wednesday and saturday morning— unconsciously admire you from a distance, his attention shifting from reo to you. his fingers idly trace the ridges on the rim of the cup, distractedly watching as you struggle to get the coffee to start brewing.
and he can’t exactly understand why his heart is beating out of his chest (perhaps he’s having a stroke), why his face is tinted red (is it the cold nipping at his cheeks?), or why he only seems to want coffee when you’re there (it simply tastes different). it all doesn’t make sense to nagi’s simple little life, a simple repetition every day; sleep, soccer, game.
nagi seishiro finds the easiest of tasks to be a hassle. yet for some strange reason, waking up early on wednesdays and saturdays isn’t one of them.

Grinding coffee with Rhett and Link
The coffee grinding episode was very sex coded. Moreover, I think it was actually rhink lore sex coded. (I have analyzed what that is in several previous posts. If this already concerned you, this post is not for you. Consider this a disclaimer, scroll and go on with your life. If you are interested but don't know what I am talking about, check the links in the end of this post.)
Although the level of symbolism I found seems a bit much to be expected from the Mythical crew (let alone, how involved in this could they potentially be...?!), I will still write down the suspicious parallels I detected. Let's consider "coffee grinding" as a parallel for "having sex" to make this easier.
The whole episode is about old versus new coffee grinding techniques.
Rhett and Link start by trying straight-forward conventional methods. Link has the traditional manual coffee grinder while Rhett has a more convenient electric grinder. Link is verbal about how boring and tiresome grinding coffee is. Rhett is not so negative about it after all - he finds positive qualities; it is not tiresome at all and it smells nice. Link keeps raving about how boring it all is, how finding new ways to go about it is pressing. Rhett actually remains silent and does not offer any argument against traditional coffee grinding.
As if the symbolism was otherwise light in this episode, Stevie makes her call to them pretty late in this one, after the traditional grinding, and calls them "pain in the butt 1 and 2".
The first alternative test is with anvil and hammer. ("Anvil" is in fact also the name of a sex position.) Rhett is the only one who does the hammering in this test - Link does not even ask to try. They also roleplay as a tough blacksmith (Rhett) and a cross between medieval youngster and old lady??? (Link), who initially asks for a "short sword". (Why short really? It's not like we know stuff about Rh- oh wait) Rhett's hammering produces underwhelming results - worse than the traditional methods. They both agree however that at least they had fun...
Rhett: I think with practice I could get better. I just think I needed to hit it a little be harder. A little bit more. I just didn't know. I didn't want to overdo it. (????????????????????????????) Link: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's your first time.
Please notice how much what Rhett says DOES NOT make sense in the context of coffee grinding. He's supposed to turn whole beans into fine powder with a hammer. How on earth could he "not know" and "not want to overdo it" in this scenario?! He could be still hammering the beans and it would still probably not be professionally processed fine coffee powder! In short, the overdoing possibility simply does not apply here.
It does make sense in other contexts though. Sex of course is also an area in which you totally don't know and are afraid to overdo it the first time anyway.
The second test is the wood chipper. This one provides different challenges. Rhett turns the wood chipper on and Link tries to catch coffee powder from the end of it. Strangely, Link claims the velocity with which the powder comes from down there is painful and he keeps emphasizing on this and how "he does not love to feel it".
"He didn't love the feeling of it" - Rhett
I have lost count on how many times Link has proclaimed himself an advocate of slow sex, especially early in the sexual relationship.
Furthermore, I think it is interesting that they apparently make some commentary about not finding the correct container to gather the produced powder. Due to their omission, the wood chipper creates a brown mess everywhere on the floor.
I don't know about the soiling (although there have been perhaps relevant jokes they have made repeatedly i.e a little dirt makes it feel more real, in Rhett's words, some time ago, then they alluded to this a lot of times "stink make me horny" etc) but the pain thing for Link is constantly included in all the Rhink first sex lore content.
The third test is Dance Dance Revolution. Rhett said he had always thought and hoped he would never have to do this. Other than this, I am not sure I see anything important here. The results were bad and they didn't have fun. The biggest challenge here was likely "not feeling cool, feeling stupid", especially for Rhett. Stevie teased them that they should be on heels. So maybe the third test was not about practical challenges but about stereotypes, hang-ups, which are never fun. But I don't know, this one was difficult.
By the way.... were Rhett's pants unzipped?
The fourth test was the Bat and the Bag. The plan was to repeatedly hit with the bat a sack full of beans that has a ball attached to it (...). Rhett now goes hard with this, so hard that he massively busts the sack of beans in the second hit. The premature ejectment of the beans from the sack leaves Link utterly, deeply disappointed and defeated. He feels like it was all over before he had any chance to participate in this. (He took it way too much to heart for me to truly believe it was about beating the coffee beans - as a comparison he never even offered to hammer the beans in the beginning.)
Rhett: I had fun! Link: I didn't even get to do it!
This is totally on board with ALL of the Rhink first sex lore content, needless to say.
Rhett tries to soothe Link's disappointment and theatrically through a new dad-son roleplay he tries to make this work for Link after his own big fail. He talks Link into thinking it's not about the result so much but about the process itself. Link is still very disappointed though. Rhett goes crazy with the encouragement.
I don't know how conscious things are in GMM but Rhett said "Oh, I love you so much, Junior!" and the crew member that adds the subtitles simply chose to not include the name despite it being very audible.
"Rhett: "I want you to do what you feel is right. There is no right or wrong, okay? It's "are you having a good time"?" - Rhett
Okay, this goes too far out of the context of trying coffee grinding methods, right? It gets too intentional and specific.
Rhett then asks whether Link is upset with him for shattering his hopes too early. He apologizes for his mistakes, amongst which I found this one mistake particularly interesting:
The full line though was: "I make mistakes. One of them was not having you when I was young. And not really knowing how to be a dad. That wasn't one. That was (laughs)"
I think Rhett messed his line or what he was trying to say in there somewhere. However the beginning of the phrase in my opinion remains correct. Of course if we nitpick it, it once again doesn't make any sense, neither with the coffee grinding nor with the dad and son roleplay nor even from a biological standpoint. (You can't tell a kid it was a mistake you didn't have them earlier, because if you had a kid earlier, it would be a different kid, not the same.) But in the context of a romantic / sexual relationship it makes total sense. Additionally, based on everything I have theorised and I generally believe, one if not the biggest factor of Link's sadness, regret and any issues associated even indirectly is the time that was lost. The thought of the lost time haunts his very existence and it is the root problem of a lot of things, it seems to me.
Rhett's acknowledgement of the mistake and owning up to having the biggest responsibility helps Link admit that this coffee grinding would have indeed finally been mindblowing to him... if the beans had not left the sack so early. With a new surge of enthusiasm, Rhett suggests that they should reload the bag with beans and try again. (Which is something that at face value they never do in GMM.) The whole point of this was to show the disappointing first attempt and the decision to give it another try once the "sack" was "reloaded".
So they go at it again but this time Link takes full control of the situation. There is also the detail that they now do wear the heels, even though there is no explanation how and why this could affect beating the bag. It doesn't help practically but obviously it means something. Anyway, Link starts beating the sack and Rhett offers vocal encouragement, a little too excited, a little too specific sounding. Go back to the episode and listen the series of "yeahs" Rhett makes during and after Link's grinding. Rhett on heels sexily picks up the bag once Link is done and Link just openly makes a flirtatious compliment. Rhett keeps "yeah-ing" it except the real-time experiment doesn't help them a lot with the allegory. Alas, the beans remain almost intact. Despite that, they overlook it in order to say that they had a lot of fun and Rhett expresses his certainty that if they kept going at it and practicing the whole afternoon they would get even more mindblown.
I think this gives some insight to a still dark corner of the Rhink sex lore; the first good time. I have said before how we always get parallels for the first bad time but never for the first good one. I think this is it and it points to two possibilities: a) bottom!Rhett, which I find unlikely and b) power_bottom!Link with a lot of guidance from Rhett, which I think it is what it is and many fans speculate on this for fanon shipping, except I have explained multiple times why I think it really is the case.
If you are not shaking in anger or disgust so far and you do not yet know what the "Rhink sex lore" refers to, it is my "It has always been one story" theory. Check the following posts:
They dug a hole
It has always been one story
PUZZLE: The recurrent Rhink storyline is not even new!!!!!!!
Why did the chicken cross the road
PS. Because I don’t remember if I mention this in one of the posts above, the “Rhett guidance” has been spontaneously implied in a random video, the vlog where Link straightens Rhett’s hair. Link at some point defends himself by saying “I am teachable!”. Rhett laughs under his breath and mutters “Yeah... I have tried a lot” and Link responds with a “You should learn to shut up more”. Now, this on its own could be about anything but if you read the posts above and get a feel of what I am saying, take also my word for it that it was not about just anything. I base this on a reasoning as well but it’s too much work to analyze this too.

Fellow Ode Grinder
In the world of coffee, the importance of grinding your own beans at home can’t be overstated. Whether you’re an aspiring home barista or a seasoned coffee enthusiast, one tool you’ll eventually consider is a high-quality grinder. Among the many options, the Fellow Ode Grinder has garnered a lot of attention. But is it really worth the investment?
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the Fellow Ode Grinder, from its key features to whether it’s the right fit for your coffee setup. Let’s dive in.
What is the Fellow Ode Grinder?
The Fellow Ode Grinder is a sleek and modern coffee grinder designed primarily for brewed coffee methods like pour-over, French press, and AeroPress. Unlike many grinders, it’s not built with espresso in mind, making it more specialized for specific brewing styles.
With its minimalist design, flat burrs, and intuitive settings, it appeals to coffee enthusiasts who prioritize precision and style in their coffee routine.
Why Coffee Grinding Matters?
Grinding your own coffee beans just before brewing unlocks the beans’ full flavor potential. Coffee beans begin to lose their freshness once ground, which can result in a less flavorful cup. Additionally, the grind size directly impacts the extraction process and can drastically change the taste of your brew.
For example, coarse grinds are perfect for a French press, while finer grinds are needed for methods like AeroPress or pour-over. With the wrong grind size, even the best beans can lead to disappointing results.
Key Features of the Fellow Ode Grinder
The Fellow Ode Grinder sets itself apart with several standout features:
Sleek, Modern Design: With its minimalist aesthetic and matte black finish, the Fellow Ode looks fantastic on any countertop.
Quiet Operation: One of the biggest advantages is how quiet it is compared to many other grinders.
Burr Size and Quality: Equipped with 64mm flat burrs, the Fellow Ode delivers precise and uniform grounds.
Precision Grind Settings: The grinder offers 31 grind settings, allowing users to dial in their preferred grind size based on their brewing method.
Fellow Ode Grinder vs. Competitors
How does the Fellow Ode stack up against competitors? Let’s take a look at how it fares against some popular grinders:
Baratza Encore: The Encore is a more budget-friendly grinder, but it lacks the precision and sleek design of the Ode. It’s also not as quiet.
Timemore Chestnut Grinder: While this hand grinder offers excellent consistency, it requires manual effort, whereas the Ode is electric and easier to use daily.
What makes the Fellow Ode unique is its focus on brewed coffee methods. Its grind consistency, sleek design, and quieter performance give it a premium edge.
Is the Fellow Ode Good for Espresso?
This is where the Fellow Ode has a limitation. It’s designed specifically for brewed coffee, not espresso. Espresso requires an extremely fine grind size, which the Ode does not provide. If you’re an espresso aficionado, you’ll need a different grinder that can handle those finer grind sizes.
Grind Size Settings: What’s the Range?
The Fellow Ode offers 31 grind settings, which gives you a wide range to choose from. Here’s a rough guide:
Coarse: Best for French press and cold brew
Medium: Ideal for drip coffee makers and pour-over
Fine: Suitable for AeroPress
While it provides great options for various brewed methods, the lack of finer settings for espresso is a notable limitation.
Ease of Use: User-Friendly or Complicated?
The Fellow Ode is praised for being incredibly user-friendly. Its large dial makes it easy to adjust the grind size, and the one-touch button for grinding simplifies the process. Cleaning and maintaining the grinder is straightforward as well, with a removable catch bin and accessible burrs.
Performance Review: How Does It Hold Up?
When it comes to performance, the Fellow Ode delivers consistent results, especially for pour-over and French press enthusiasts. The 64mm flat burrs produce uniform grounds, ensuring optimal extraction and flavor in every cup. However, some users note that it struggles with consistency at the finest settings, which may not be ideal for those who need a medium-fine grind.
Pros and Cons of the Fellow Ode Grinder
Pros:
Stylish design that looks great on any kitchen counter
Quiet operation compared to other electric grinders
Consistent grind quality for brewed coffee methods
User-friendly with easy-to-use controls
Cons:
Limited grind size range for espresso lovers
Premium price point
Some users report inconsistency at the finest grind settings
Who Should Buy the Fellow Ode Grinder?
The Fellow Ode is perfect for:
Coffee lovers who primarily brew using pour-over, French press, or drip methods
Those who appreciate a quiet, stylish grinder that’s easy to use
People who want precise control over grind size for brewed coffee
However, if espresso is your go-to brewing method, this might not be the best choice.
Alternatives to Consider
If the Fellow Ode doesn’t quite fit your needs, there are alternatives:
Baratza Virtuoso+: A versatile grinder that offers a wider range of grind sizes, including settings for espresso.
Comandante C40 Hand Grinder: A premium manual grinder that offers incredible grind consistency for all brewing methods, including espresso.
Is It Worth the Price?
The Fellow Ode comes with a premium price tag, and the big question is whether it’s worth it. If you’re serious about your brewed coffee and want something that delivers precision with style, it’s a great investment. The build quality, design, and consistency make it a solid choice for non-espresso drinkers.
However, if you’re on a budget or need a grinder that can handle all types of coffee, including espresso, you might want to explore other options.
Where to Buy the Fellow Ode Grinder
You can find the Fellow Ode Grinder on popular online platforms like Amazon, as well as specialty coffee retailers like Fellow’s own website or Williams-Sonoma. Be sure to check for warranties and customer support options before purchasing, as Fellow offers a 1-year warranty on the Ode.

Unlocking the Secrets to a Healthier You with Java Burn
In today's fast-paced world, finding the perfect balance between maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing daily responsibilities can feel like an uphill battle. The journey to achieving weight loss goals often involves countless diets, exercise regimens, and a constant search for that one supplement that will make a difference. Enter Java Burn, a unique blend designed to transform your morning coffee into a powerful fat-burning elixir. But does it really live up to the hype? Let's dive into what makes Java Burn stand out in the crowded world of weight loss supplements.
What is Java Burn?
Java Burn is not just another weight loss supplement; it's a revolutionary addition to your daily routine that combines the energy-boosting benefits of coffee with scientifically backed ingredients to enhance metabolism and promote fat loss. What sets Java Burn apart is its ability to work in synergy with your regular coffee, making it a seamless part of your morning ritual. The result? A natural and sustained boost to your metabolism that helps you burn more calories throughout the day.
The Science Behind Java Burn
One of the key factors that make Java Burn effective is its carefully selected ingredients, each chosen for its ability to support weight loss and overall health. These ingredients include:
Green Tea Extract: Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, green tea extract has been shown to increase fat burning and improve metabolic rate, especially during exercise.
L-Theanine: This amino acid, found naturally in tea leaves, helps to reduce stress and anxiety, creating a calming effect without the drowsiness, which is especially beneficial when paired with the stimulating effects of caffeine.
Chromium: An essential trace mineral that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, chromium helps to curb cravings and reduce appetite.
Chlorogenic Acid: Found in green coffee beans, chlorogenic acid is known for its ability to reduce the absorption of carbohydrates, which can lead to lower blood sugar levels and decreased fat storage.
How Java Burn Fits Into Your Daily Routine
Another compelling aspect of Java Burn is its ability to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Unlike other supplements that require you to remember to take them at specific times, Java Burn is simply added to your morning coffee. This convenience means that you're more likely to stick with it, ensuring consistent results over time. And because Java Burn is tasteless, it won't alter the flavor of your favorite brew, making it a discreet addition to your daily routine.
Real-Life Results and Testimonials
But what about the actual results? Many users have reported significant weight loss and increased energy levels after incorporating Java Burn into their daily routine. The combination of a faster metabolism, reduced appetite, and better blood sugar control creates an environment in your body that is conducive to fat loss. And because Java Burn works by enhancing your natural metabolic processes, the results are sustainable and less likely to lead to the rebound weight gain often associated with other weight loss methods.
Java Burn: A Holistic Approach to Health
It's also worth noting that Java Burn is designed to be part of a comprehensive approach to health and fitness. While it can certainly help to accelerate weight loss, it works best when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. The supplement acts as a catalyst, helping you to get the most out of your efforts rather than doing all the work for you. This holistic approach is one of the reasons why Java Burn has garnered such a positive reputation among users and experts alike.
Safety and Quality You Can Trust
For those who are concerned about the safety of weight loss supplements, Java Burn is a reassuring choice. It is made from natural ingredients, free from harmful chemicals or additives, and is manufactured in a facility that adheres to strict quality control standards. This commitment to safety and quality ensures that you can trust Java Burn to support your weight loss journey without compromising your health.
Why Java Burn Stands Out
In a world where quick fixes and miracle cures are often too good to be true, Java Burn stands out as a realistic and effective tool for achieving your weight loss goals. By enhancing your body's natural metabolic processes and making it easier to stick to your health regimen, Java Burn offers a sustainable solution that can lead to long-term success. Whether you're just starting your weight loss journey or looking for that extra edge to push through a plateau, Java Burn could be the missing piece of the puzzle.
Final Thoughts
The success stories associated with Java Burn are a testament to its effectiveness. Many users have shared their experiences of increased energy, improved mood, and, most importantly, noticeable weight loss. These real-life results demonstrate the potential of Java Burn to make a significant impact on your health and well-being.

Please share more about your instant cofffee hobby?
so i recognize fully that instant coffee is suboptimal and there are better options available and etc
HOWEVER COMMA
it also comes in all kinds of fun flavors and varieties. there's the 3-in-1 kind that's kind of a latte in a stick, which believe it or not has a bunch of different levels of quality! i really like the ediya chocolate chip latte which does in fact have chocolate chips in it! it tastes like a really nice hot cocoa and it mixes really well with their vanilla bean latte for something a bit sweeter. there's also pour overs like the company copper cow makes, and copper cow's lavender one in particular is really really good
i have a cup of coffee every morning, and turning it into an experiment in trying different instant coffees has been a relatively inexpensive way to make it fun and that's how i became a connoisseur of instant coffees
#mothspeak#thanks for asking!#i like the teas too#the tea lattes in a stick are lifesavers in the evening when i don't want to bust out my teapot

The Ins And Outs Of A Good Cup Of Coffee
The Ins And Outs Of A Good Cup Of Coffee
Do not make the mistake of thinking that you already know all there is to know about brewing great coffee. Caffeine is an addicting substance and can be abused like any other substance. If you are new to drinking coffee, or have been drinking it for years but know little about it, you should read this article.
Store coffee inside of an airtight container. If air does get in, the beans will take the odors of the surrounding foods. Don't use the square bags that feature one-way valves, as the seal is going to break. They only let air escape after roasting to let them cool.
If you are making your own coffee, stir it up in the pot shortly after brewing. A fast stir can maximize the flavor of the coffee, as well as its aroma. This will make for a more enjoyable cup of coffee with a greater depth of flavor. 5 Best Coffee Makers in 2023
Don't grind your coffee beans until you're ready to brew a fresh batch. This is due to coffee losing its flavor after being ground. Grinding it ahead of time will cause the coffee to be much weaker.
Try spicing up coffee for your guests by getting creative. You should make an attempt in decorating your homemade lattes. All you need is a little know how on how to make a good cup of joe for your houseguests. Use milk with melted chocolate and keep practicing when you make your coffee.
Once you open a bag of coffee beans, remove them from the original bag and transfer them to a container. It is vital that you keep them from the air and the light. You will be able to use them over a longer period of time this way. 7 Best Wall Oven Microwave Combos with Air Fryer in 2023
Coffee should not be kept in the freezer for more than three months. If you do, it will begin to get stale.
When you get a new coffee maker, try a test run. What that means is using water and running it as if you were really making coffee. This will get rid of any dust or smells within the coffee pot.
If you like iced coffee, brew a strong pot in the evening and leave it in the fridge. You will give the coffee time to cool down instead of watering it down with ice when it is hot. You can even go ahead and add in the sweetener and creamer that you prefer. This is a great way to have iced coffee with little or no trouble.
The type of beans you buy is crucial to how good your coffee is. Make you sure check out the options at local stores. You can usually find freshly roasted beans. If you cannot find the coffee beans you truly crave, then consider shopping online. Buying coffee online may be more expensive but it is less expensive than buying your coffee daily at the local coffee hotspot.
It's important to ensure that the water in the coffee maker tastes good and is clean. If the water is dirty, your coffee isn't going to taste good. Test the water before you brew the coffee.
If you can't or don't want to put a lot of sugar in your coffee, consider the following alternatives. Agave nectar, for example, contains sugar but will not harm your blood sugar. Other sweeteners such as Splenda can also be used in hot beverages because they tend to remain stable.
Get yourself a good coffee grinder. Freshly ground beans retain more oil and will produce a richer, more aromatic cup of coffee. Most coffee grinders have a "coarseness" setting that lets you brew your coffee in different ways. If you prefer not to have a separate appliance, look for a coffee maker with an built-in grinder.
It is important to pay attention to how much water you need for your specific coffee maker. If you misjudge and have too little, your coffee will have a very strong flavor. Conversely, too much water and you'll have weak tasting coffee. You should think about using two parts for each cup.
Coffee should be stored in a container away from the oven. Heat can stifle the quality of your coffee beans. This means you should avoid the countertops or the cupboards that are too close to where the stove is located.
Do you find it hard to brew a rich cup of coffee, like what you can get at a coffee shop? Use more coffee. A lot of shops use not one but two tablespoons worth of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. The best way to find the right ratio for your tastes is to experiment until you find something that you like.
Don't be afraid to experiment and mix coffees until you find one that you like best. Visit your local coffee house and ask if they offer samples of the blend you are interested in, or if they have any recommendations.
If you avoid unnecessary additives, coffee itself can serve as a great support in burning calories. Adding sugary items to coffee will negate any ability the coffee has to burn fat. If your weight is a concern, switch to a black cup of coffee with your breakfast.
Is your coffee better tasting when you put creamer or milk in there? You can use milk in a variety of ways for coffee. Although cold milk is generally preferred in coffee, warm or frothed milk adds an entirely new texture. Using varying amounts of milk in a cup of coffee will result in different flavor.
Coffee subscription clubs are good ideas if you hope to lessen the expense of your habit. These services can save you up to 33 percent on your coffee. Also, the best clubs ship beans to you only if you are short. This lets you avoid running out of beans or having them go stale.
Now, you should have a greater understanding of coffee. Regardless of your coffee drinking history, it seems safe to say that your knowledge base had some weak areas. Think about this article the next time you drink a cup of coffee to enhance your overall experience.

Does Strong Coffee Have More Caffeine? The Truth Revealed
Does Strong Coffee Have More Caffeine Strong coffee will change your drinking experience. Some people even report that this beverage can wake them up. Hence, the rest may associate coffee strength with its caffeine content. So, does strong coffee have more caffeine? And what affects the caffeine level in java? If you can't answer those questions, we will get you covered. This article will explain the link between caffeine and coffee strength. You can also learn how to serve yourself the perfect java for your needs. So let's scroll down to discover the truth! What Is Strong Coffee? In coffee, strength refers to the brewing process. For example, the typical brew ratio of coffee to water is 1:15. Yet, strong coffee has a higher ratio, such as 1:10 or 1:12. Espresso is strong coffee by definition because we brew it in a concentrated form. Meanwhile, weak coffee is made with not enough grounds to the water used. People love strong coffee for multiple reasons. First, they may like the rich and bold aroma of the drink. In addition to the taste, strong coffee offers a high energy boost. Thus, we can fight fatigue and focus on our work effectively. Another reason is the coffee-drinking ritual. For example, some people only want a high-quality cup of coffee with a strong aroma. In the end, people's reasons for liking strong coffee may differ based on their tastes, lifestyles, and cultures. And interestingly, some people love strong coffee because they think there is more caffeine. But is it true? We will talk about it right now. Strong coffee has a bold flavor Does Strong Coffee Have More Caffeine? Not really. Strong coffee doesn't always have more caffeine. So you need to consider other factors to measure the caffeine amount in your java. The idea of strong coffee is that you put more coffee into it while reducing the water content. Hence, it will be more abundant in caffeine than a regular cup. However, the caffeine content only depends on different factors, such as the bean type, ground size, and brewing method. For example, there is 90 mg of caffeine in 15 mg of ground coffee. The caffeine content will be the same even if you add less water to have a strong coffee. So, the strength doesn't necessarily affect the caffeine. But what will? We will discuss all the determinants right here. Coffee Bean Type Let's check the bean type first. There are two primary types of coffee beans: Robusta and Arabica. Interestingly, these two beans have different caffeine levels. More specifically, Robusta beans contain twice as much caffeine as Arabica beans. Hence, if you compare a cup of strong Arabica coffee and a cup of standard Robusta coffee, you can't tell which has more caffeine. Robusta beans contain more caffeine than Arabica Coffee Ground Size Aside from the coffee bean type, the size of coffee grinds will impact caffeine levels. The modification, though, is minor. Please note that extraction plays a vital role in the brewing process because it's where the caffeine, aroma, and flavor arise. The critical factor in the extraction phase is surface area. Since finer grinds have more exposed surface area, they will hasten and simplify the extraction process. Nevertheless, coffee grinds don't always change the extraction or caffeine content of the drink. Instead, the brewing method is a more significant factor. Brewing Method As aforementioned, the brewing method will determine your java's caffeine content. It's because some methods require a higher level of extraction. For example, you can soak the coffee grinds in boiling water. Then, you will get a cup of coffee with more caffeine. But remember that brewing methods are not the only determinant, even though they will affect your beverage's drink. In general, it would be best to experience different brewing methods. You will soon find the best flavor with the strongest coffee. The brewing method plays an important role How to Make A Strong Coffee? You can use the AeroPress coffee maker to prepare a cup of strong coffee. There are two ways to do it. Classic coffee First, prepare 15 grams of finely ground coffee and 30 grams of water. Then, the coffee-to-water ratio for your drink will be 1:2. After gathering the ingredients, please follow these steps: - Boil water and let it cool slightly. - Assemble the coffee maker. - Add ground coffee to the brewing chamber. - Pour hot water into the ground coffee until it reaches number 1, then stir gently. - Let your coffee steep for one to two minutes. - Gently press the plunger to extract the coffee into your cup. Drip-style coffee On the other hand, this recipe will be ideal if you love filtered coffee. The instructions for making a drip-style coffee are as follows: - Boil the water. - Put the ground coffee into the brewing chamber of the coffee maker. - Add hot water to the chamber until it reaches number 4. - Wait for the extracted coffee to drip through the filter. Drinks Black Brewed Seeds Glass Coffee Beans Hot How Much Caffeine is Too Much? The answer depends on your age, weight, health, and caffeine sensitivity. It's because the reaction to caffeine differs significantly from person to person. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you should not take more than 400 mg of caffeine a day. Yet, some people may be more sensitive to caffeine than others. For example, two cups of coffee may seem fine to you. However, your friend may experience anxiety, insomnia, jitters, or headaches. And in worst cases, excessive consumption may cause severe health problems, such as: - High blood pressure - Heart palpitations - Cardiac arrest - Difficulty breathing If you don't know your safe limits, contact your physician for help. They will give you advice based on your health status. The question now is, "How can people with caffeine sensitivity drink coffee?" Fortunately, there are several ways to adjust the caffeine content in your java. We have discussed some determinants of caffeine. Hence, you can work with them to get the desired caffeine content. Another easy way to try is to drink decaf coffee. Have you ever heard about that? If not, check this video to learn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ny4cYj_25c Do not consume too much caffeine Popular Types of Strong Coffee If you love strong coffee, there are many options to choose from. Each has a unique flavor, aroma, and characteristics. In this section, we will highlight some terrific types of strong coffee. By reading through all of those ideas, you will understand more about how the brewing method affects your coffee. Espresso Espresso is concentrated coffee. You can make it by using high pressure to push hot water through finely-ground coffee. The result of this method is a bold, strong coffee flavor. You can also use espresso as a base for other coffee beverages. We highly recommend Americanos, cappuccinos, and lattes for this experience. French Press To make French Press, you will steep coarsely ground coffee in hot water for a few minutes. Then, press the coffee to the bottom of the pot. The outcome of this method is rich java. Cold Brew As the name implies, you need cold water to prepare a cup of cold brew. This method involves steeping coarsely-ground coffee in cold water for a few hours. Finally, you will get a smooth and less acidic coffee. Turkish Coffee This beverage calls for finely ground beans. To be more specific, you will boil the coffee grounds with water and serve the liquid with cardamom. In the end, your coffee will have a thick texture. Cuban Coffee Cuban coffee is a stronger version of espresso. Hence, coffee drinkers often use it with demerara sugar to have a bold yet sweet flavor. Black Coffee If you like classic java, go for black coffee. This beverage only needs coffee beans and hot water. Besides, you can use any roast levels and brewing methods to adjust its strength and flavor. There are many types of strong coffee Frequently Asked Questions 1. Which coffee type is strongest? Based on the coffee-to-water ratio, espresso is the most concentrated coffee. This ratio for some types of strong coffee is as follows: - Espresso: 1:2 - Cold Brew: 1:4 - French Press: 1:12 - Turkish coffee: 1:12 - Cuban coffee: 1:10 2. Is it OK to drink very strong coffee? Yes, if you drink it in moderation. Otherwise, you may encounter side effects, such as diarrhea, insomnia, headache, etc. Although strong coffee doesn't necessarily contain much caffeine, you should still be aware of your caffeine intake. As a result, limit your coffee consumption to a safe rate, and stop when you experience adverse effects. 3. Which coffee is highest in caffeine? Coffee made from Robusta coffee beans has the highest caffeine content. However, we can't name the exact type of coffee because the beans are not the only determinant. Nevertheless, the caffeine content in a cup of coffee also depends on the brewing method and ground size. That's why we have hundreds of coffee types with only two coffee beans. 4. Does stronger coffee give you more energy? Not really, because strong coffee doesn't contain more caffeine. Yet, you may still feel more energy due to the more robust aroma and flavor. They will quickly give you a stimulating effect. In addition, the act of drinking coffee is already energizing to many people. So, some may not care about the caffeine content or the strength. 5. What does strong coffee do to your brain? Strong coffee, with its caffeine and other ingredients, will affect your brain in these ways: - First, it will increase your brain activities to improve your mental focus. - Also, the levels of dopamine and other neurotransmitters will increase. Since they connect to your feelings, your mood may improve. - Another effect of caffeine on your brain is improving your cognitive function and memory. Hence, you can handle mental tasks effectively. - Last but not least, caffeine helps reduce fatigue. It performs this task by preventing adenosine receptors in your brain. Conclusion Coffee strength refers to its coffee-to-water ratio. Hence, stronger coffee doesn't have more caffeine than standard one. In fact, strong coffee has a bolder, richer flavor and aroma. So even if the caffeine content doesn't change, it can also give you an exciting experience. After all, depending on the preparation method, you will enjoy the best cup of coffee for your preferences. And feel free to contact us for any difficulty while making it. Thank you for reading!

of drink a-dreaming, and why it’s genshin’s best event yet
gameplay mechanics
there’s something inherently beautiful about mixing things up, trying to find the different recipes, and all without penalty if you mess up. it’s a breath of fresh air from the usual combat/exploration stuff. man, i’m just a sucker for cooking simulator games. i was so excited for this event when i first saw it and i’m so glad it paid off in the end. it’s soothing to just throw in random ingredients, mix things around, decide the cup size and bam! pretty drink comes out. the music is great too, very nice ambience.
i also liked how all materials were presented to us, available to use. i thought we would actually have to forage for these ingredients ourselves, but this works too! less stress on the player, especially for those who dislike the collection-side of things.
character moments
the people who visit your tavern give you more insight to their dynamics. i’m sure jeanlisa and beiguang shippers are having a field day with this event. there are hidden character details hidden in the dialogue, just in can you didn’t play their hangout/read their character stories. i like knowing the character preferences, especially in drinks! it adds more flavour to the already developed characteristics they have.
worldbuilding
i read every single description for every single food item in game, and this event is no different. it gives great insight to the tastes of the locals in game, and the way the describe food is so exquisite. i like how coffee once took the knights’ library by storm. i enjoy the implications that there are coffee beans and tea plantations. it makes me wonder where these plantations are, and who are the major consumers and producers of these beverages. hell, the presence of cocoa paste implies the existence of chocolate, which we have not yet seen!
and i read up on the ingredients as well! more notes for me to take note of. hell, i love that they included TWO types of milk, the one we buy with mora, and the High-Quality Milk locked in this game.
i’m also highly intrigued by the fizzy water — its existence implies machinery available to carbonate water, and it should be readily accessible too, since it does not appear scarce in this event. my first thought was maybe it’s a fontaine invention, but then had a thought: maybe it’s anemo-infused…? i mean, they do use anemo slimes for transportation. who’s to say, really.
i sincerely love the addition of lemon too. that’s one more fruit to the fruit gang! i wish hoyoverse would let us make, i don’t know, a fruit medley?? with apples, sunsettias, lavender melon and lemon. i would love to see a lemon being a collectible eventually.

What do their bedrooms/living areas look like? I'm going to use all 3 of my asks to request this for all of the boys if that's ok! ❤
Man, I’ve had this one in my secret notes for a good while now!
Undertale:
Both the tale brothers live in a nice little gated community. Their house is one of the smaller ones and has the same layout as the one in Snowdin. The house is pretty basic with some cozy throws and wall tapestries to spruce it up
Sans: his room actually has a proper bed and frame this time. The sheets and blankets are still bundled up in a pile on the floor though. Sans also has his homemade trashnado in the corner. There’s a desk on the wall adjacent to the door which has his laptop. And several folders stacked next to it. Other than a dresser, there’s literally nothing else in there. Sans doesn’t care much about stuff
Papyrus: his room has bright orange walls. He left the race car bed behind underground but has a race car blanket to make up for it. His walls are covered in superhero and comic posters. He also has a display case for some old figurines and his comic collection. Papyrus’ desk is one of those nice fancy drafting ones where he can adjust it to tilt upwards. He has a ship wheel attached to his door for some reason.
Underswap
The swap bros home is only a few blocks from the classic brothers neighborhood. The only thing basic about it is the cream walls. All the furniture and decorations are bright colors. The kitchen especially is real nice. The oven and stove are top notch, and the counters are filled with mason jars full of goodies.
Star: his room can blind a lesser man when you walk in. The walls are bright yellow, the bed (which is a bunk bed by the way) is neon orange. Galaxy posters decorate the wall. Besides the clashing colors, the furniture is pretty basic. Only the top bunk actually has a mattress. The bottom bunk is used as a storage shelf. He also has a shoe rack by his door
Honey: you can practically feel the nerdy aura as you enter his room. The first thing you see is a display case housing some neat figurines of characters from his favorite shows. He’s also got a pretty nice bookshelf on the opposite wall that’s nearly full. Honeys bed has a curtain around it for extra privacy with a nice little wall lamp above the pillows
Underfell
They have a home a little closer to the city center but still far enough to be considered suburbs. It’s a very sleek and modern house with white walls, tile floors and sleek black and metal furniture. The only thing that doesn’t fit the rest of the theme is this nasty old patched up sofa in the living room. The thing is absolutely hideous but is sooo comfy.
Red: his room has soft grey walls and smells like miter oil. Makes sense since one wall is just a long basic table covered in machine parts that red tinkers with in his down time. He actually doesn’t have a bed. Instead he sleeps on this giant leather bean bag. He likes it that way. There’s a few car posters decorating the walls
Edge: he obviously put a lot of thought into his rooms decorations. Everything is pretty black marble or a sleek white wood. His bed covers are blood red with a nice geometric designs on top in silver. He has a beautiful black desk with some pretty jars filled to the brim with nothing but novelty pens. If you looked in his desk drawers you would find notebooks and even more pens
Swapfell
They don’t own a house and instead live in a two bedroom one bath apartment on the third floor of one of lords complexes. The furniture is pretty minimalistic but very nice quality. Most decorations are metal
Mal: the first thing you’ll see in his room is a large wooden drawing desk where pencils and watercolors are neatly arranged on the side. There’s also a vanity with a light up mirror and a nice collection of makeup. Also a huge slanted hunters knife. He uses it to make sure his eyeliner is extra sharp.
Cash: his bedroom is the perfect definition of organized chaos. It looks messy but for cash, he knows exactly where every thing is. There’s a small tv in there with some old game consoles hooked up to it. The bed is never made.
Horrortale
Their home rests in a neighborhood bordering the forest of ebott. The houses there all have a lot more yard space than most houses in the city. The horrortale home is super cozy with lots of knit throws and pillows scattered around. The back patio has a little dog door and there’s a 50% chance of seeing a chicken walk through lol
Oak: his room is also pretty basic. The bed however has so many blankets. Like way more than any person should need. Oak is a blanket hoarder. There’s a lot of notebooks stacked on his wooden desk along with a file of patterned paper for scrapbooking.
Willow: his room has a raised bed with a cute little ladder on the side so that his dog can jump up. You can tell a lot of the furniture has been homemade or refurbished. The room is larger and in the middle is a circular stone table that’s stained with paint. It’s usually housing his latest craft
Underlust
They used to live in the same neighborhood as the classic brothers but have recently moved closer to the inner city because of work. Their home is still in the process of being unpacked mostly, but their rooms are done! The house is actually pretty conservative looking with grey walls, white wooden furniture and soft pastel decor. They do have a stripper pole in the living room though lol
Charm: his room looks exactly how you expect from him. Dark walls with lots of bright rave type decorations. On his dresser is a large pretty cake display that stands out from the rest of the rooms theme lol. His room is always on a state of organized chaos with his desk and bed covered in nick knacks but the floors staying oddly clean
Sugar: his room has light lavender walls and black furniture. It’s a big difference from the soft feminine style people expect from him. Instead sugar has a more sleek modern style to his room. He also has a standard mannequin in the middle that always has a new dresses pinned to it.
Fellswap (red)
They own a pretty two story house only a block away from the two apartment complexes that lord owns. The front lawn/garden is in top shape with lots of those metal flower decorations stuck in the ground along the dirt outline. Inside the house is most worn but comfy looking furniture. Nothing special
Lord: his room is pretty basic with mostly brown and grey accents. He does have a large mostly filled bookcase. There’s also two white bean bags and a deep red rug that covers nearly the whole floor of the room.
Mutt: he actually has two rooms. The first is pretty simple with just his bed, a writing desk and a rack for some shoes. Also his bird cage for KFC (pet pigeon). The second room has a sink, and several cages and boxes for the injured animals that he rehabilitates. The second room is slightly larger than his actual room.
Fellswap gold
They actually live in a studio apartment above wines antique shop. The apartment used to be an unused storage static until wine bought the building and repurposed it. The living space itself is a little small, but they also have access to the roof which the gold bros use as a potted garden and dining area.
Wine: his room is very classy with silk curtains on the window and a silky cream canopy above his head. All the furniture is a dark grey wood with pretty carvings and designs. The walls are decorated with beautiful floral paintings from his brother. It’s a pretty well planned out room. Very cosy and luxurious
Coffee: he has two rooms as well. The smaller of the two is just his bed, dresser, closet and a tv with some consoles hooked up to it. The second room has shelves lining nearly every wall except for one which is just a big collab mural. On the shelves is various art supplies and projects. There’s one large sketch desk on one wall. And finally in the middle of the room is a tarp attached to the floor housing whatever piece of furniture coffee is restoring at the moment .
Dancetale
They also own an apartment, one of the flats in lords buildings on the ground floor. It’s the other building from the swapfell brothers. The walls are painted a cheery yellow and the house is mostly decorated with spring colors. There’s always a huge bowl of fresh fruit in the kitchen.
Pop: his room is mix and match of completely different furniture and gadgets. Pop isn’t someone who cares about themes so he will keep whatever catches his fancy. Instead of a bed, he has a hammock attacked to the ceiling with a pillow and some throw blankets casually tossed on top lol.
Rhythm: his room is pretty sparse with just his bed, a shoe rack, and a dresser. On the dresser are pictures of each of his face classes right before they graduate. Rhythm doesn’t really care all that much about decor so the walls are pretty bare too
Outertale
They live in the same gated community as the classic brothers! The outertale home has high ceilings and lots of windows. The living room is the real centerpiece of the home. It has several large antique bookcases and display cases. Inside the displays are various rocks and crystals and the occasional fossil. It’s really neat.
Pluto: his room is comprised of mostly blues grays and greens. He has a small bookcase on the side of his bed where he keeps the things he’s currently reading. There’s also a large fish-tank with an assortment of saltwater fish inside. Pluto’s room also has a large circular fluffy rug in the middle of the floor. The floor itself is hardwood
Jupiter: his room has a similar color scheme except instead of greens, Jupiter has gold instead. He has some exercise equipment stacked nicely on the side of his bed including weights. There’s a wall tapestry with a printed picture of the asteroid belt the outertale monsters used to live in.
Gastertale
The gaster brothers also live in the same neighborhood as the classic and outertale bros. They’re at the very end in the little cul-de-sac. The interior of the house is almost all white with cream carpet, metro grey walls, and white furniture. A few of the small decorations add a bit of color. There’s a lot of potted succulents.
G: his room is probably the only dark room of the house. His walls are a charcoal grey and the furniture is mostly jet black with a few mustard colored decorations. There’s a metal wire bookcase hanging on the wall. G also has a plastic anatomy dummy that he dresses up in his motorcycle gear when he’s not using it. G thinks he’s funny
Green: like the rest of the home, his room is also mostly white. He has a pretty pale green rack for all of his glasses on his dresser. Green also has his several degrees framed in silver on the walls. his room is always spotless
Farmtale:
The farm bros have an old Victorian home that they fixed up themselves. They’re home borders the acres of farmland they own and is about a 45 minute drive from ebott city. The inside is decorated with mostly wooden furniture. There’s like four rocking chairs on the porch lol
Peaches: his room fits the theme of the house with mostly wooden furniture and a lot of quilts and rugs to add color and soften it up. Peaches always has a vase of fresh wildflowers on his dresser. The walls have photographs of plants and animals taped to them that peaches took himself.
Rancher: this mad lad has a large moose skull hanging above his four poster log cabin bed. He also hangs his favorite hunting rifles just below the moose lol. His bedroom is mostly wooden of course but is also decorated with lots of red and orange plaids.
Horrorfell
They live in the same neighborhood as the horrortale and horrorswap brothers. Their home is literally right in between the two. Inside it’s decorated in a mix between sleek modern metals and frumpy cozy style. Somehow the horrorfell bros still have their original sofa from the underground. There’s a lot of little homemade staircases for their cat doomfanger who’s too old to claim on top of things herself now
Rust: his walls are painted a soft heather grey and have some basic wooden decorations that noir painted for fun. The furniture is pretty normal with the exception of a large treasure style chest next to his bed. Open it up and you’ll find a collection of drawings and gifts from the kids he’s watched over the years. Rust didn’t have the heart to throw them away.
Noir: unsurprisingly, his room is littered in canvases and paintings on the walls. It’s divided into two sides: the messy paint side and his nice neat living side. He even has a line of tape going down the middle to complete the divide. On his living side is his bed, closet, and a low bookcase that he uses as a second dresser. The actual bookcase is in the living room
Horrorswap
As y’all all know, their house is right next to the horrorfells and one house away from the horrortales. They like bright colors and have a sort of summery themed house. The best part is the back garden which is filled with garden boxes of veggies, fruit bushes, and fruit trees.
Lilac: his rooms main color is a pretty powder blue along with canary yellow and some bright green. He has a yoga mat on the floor in place of a rug. The walls have some neat sunrise posters
Basil: his room is pretty cosy with lots of knit blankets and fluffy pillows. He has a massive poster of Pixar’s ratatouille that rust got him as a joke. Basil has like five coconut planters, each housing a different herb plant making his room smell like an Italian restaurant
The Mafias (tale, fell, swap)
The mafia brothers live in an apartment complex masquerading as a warehouse. The ground and top two floors are working area while there were three secret basement levels. The mafia bros home consists of the whole bottom level with all their rooms connected to a hallway. At the end of the hallway is a living space and the kitchen.
Snipe: his room is the one closest to the living area. Inside is sage walls with a few house plants that can survive in low light. His bed is almost never made lol. If one was to tear the room apart, they would find at least six different guns stashed in hidden compartments
Bruiser: his room is the closest to the staircase. Inside the room somehow looks super messy but is actually spotless. Bruiser decorates the walls with all kinds of gifts people randomly give him during his vigilante escapes. Stuff from pocket mirrors, to foreign currency to even a small collection of sea shells. He drilled holes into them and hung them up on strings. Other than his walls, the furniture is pretty plain
Butch: his room is a mix of greys, blacks an silvers with the basics of furniture and a small black leather sofa. On the walls are some pretty hand melded metal decorations that butch made himself. He smokes in his room so it reeks of cigars
Boss: his room fits him perfectly with clean white plaster walls, sleek metal furniture and black and gold marble decor. Everything in that room has a specific place. If anyone moved his stuff, he’d know. It’s the only mafia bro room that doesn’t caught smell like smoke somehow. There’s a male model mannequin that he uses to practice designing clothes on
Ace: the most eye catching part of his room is a large vanity with several lamps attached and a very extensive makeup kit. I’m talking professional grade. Ace isn’t the spy for nothing. He also has an open closet so all his clothing is out on display. The main color of his room is mauve funny enough
Slim: his room is a drab grey and has a large desk taking up a whole wall. It’s filled with screens and monitors. He also has a few tv screens hooked up to the wall. It almost looks like a security room. On the other side is his bed with a canopy curtain for privacy. There’s a few anime posters on the wall as well

The Boyz as things and feelings (just cause)
this is a small thing @haechanhues needed help with so i decided to make it an actual post uwu [this is gonna be pretty long cause i might write little scenarios]
[THE BOYZ AS THINGS AND FEELINGS]
SANGYEON - MIRRORS AND PILLOWS
mirrors make a place look bigger than it really is - i feel like sangyeon has that ability to make you feel like you’re more important on your worst days
the things he’ll do just to make sure you’re alright, even when he knows you’re not
he also has the ability to reflect what you need: sad? he’ll come and hug you and let you cry or talk about your shitty day. happy? he’ll joke about the way you snort while laughing then he’d probably do something dumb to keep the energy up there
mirrors also feel very private and at-home, and that exactly how i feel he curates an environment
pillows are self-explanatory ig, smth to cry into, smth to fall asleep with while hugging, has the best homely scents ever, very comfortable
i imagine going home after a long day and finding your partner also tired, but he’s cooking or like in the couch watching tv and he just invites you into his arms uwu
“tell me about everything! whatever that makes you happy or sad and i’ll try my best to be who you need at that point of time!”
JACOB - FLOWERS AND MUSIC
ok like jacob with a guitar is just a stellar sight to behold, he looks like he was born to hold one, and his vocals are super underrated imo, most of tbz’s discography doesnt really suit his voice - i really wish he had a chance to have more lines in more ballads or maybe even a solo thing
he would drag you out to go on walks after he knows you’ve buried yourself in your work the whole day, and he’d be the kind to stop at a pretty flower and contemplate plucking it but he wouldn’t cause he’s a fairy and wouldn’t hurt a fly, much less a pretty flower
would probably play a piece in the background while you’re stressed w work and hum a tune so the singing wouldn’t distract you
would stop when he notices you stopped working and your sad ass is probably crying lmao
he’s a very soft and gentle man imo
he’s the innocent daisy amidst other bright colored, flamboyant flowers but he still stands out
“i’ll grow you a rose bush in the yard so i don’t have to be sad about plucking flowers next time.”
YOUNGHOON - WINTER COATS AND COFFEE AND PASTRIES
he definitely radiates tsundere vibes on first sight, but when you get to know him, he’s obviously the opposite: a crybaby
but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t keep up his model-like appearances when he’s outside - in fact, he’d be the one to influence you into caring more about how you look (of course not materialistically, but more into actually caring about making yourself feel good with your fashion and appearance)
i chose winter coats as a symbol of coverage - he doesn’t show much of himself unless he’s close to you (like when you wear winter coats to keep warm, he’s a burrito because he doesn’t bother too much about sharing his feelings), but when he does, it feels like he has the ability to keep you warm and comfortable, even on the coldest days, even if his inner savage comes out
it’ll be like he scooped you into his coat and has you warm in one of this inner breast pockets
i see him as the kind to get regular coffee and like, a tart or something, at a cafe. it adds on to the warmth, when he remembers what you like. the details. maybe you like your coffee with cinnamon or less sugar or something, but then he tops it up with a muffin and he knows you like it heated up so he specifically asks for them to do so
ok but he’s defo the kind of guy that catches people’s attention at public spaces so every now and then when he’s laughing or smiling, some girl would gawk at him and he would be embarrassed about it, but lucky for you, you’re already wearing matching coats so they know the man’s taken uwu
“if only they knew how long it took to convince you to wear that coat.”
HYUNJAE - CONCERTS AND CONVENIENCE STORE DATES
classy but calm. dream-like but realistic.
i say concerts as in the instrumental, ballad kinds. he loves it and he knows you probably need the sleep where you have that kind of background white noise/music that provides you the best quality of sleep there is. but when you’re not dosing off, he’s admiring how much time you’re willing to invest into being at something he loves
of course, in turn, he doesn’t complain much when you’re hungry and you meet him down the street at the nearest convenience store for some instant noodles and potato chips with a coke and he lets you ramble about your day
he would probably buy you an ice cream just so you’d feel better, then regret it when you get a stomachache later cause it was like 2am in the morning
you probably have like 5 of his hoodies at home that you refuse to wash cause his scent is tainted all over it and the only time he gets to take them home is when he stays over or visits and he sneaks one into his bag when you’re in the kitchen making tea or a bowl of noodles
then you’ll get it back without even knowing it was gone
the kind that would probably surprise you after a day of work with a casual date idea to the movies, and i mean showing up at your place, impromptu, after he knows you’re home with two tickets
“act like my girlfriend for once and go on a date with me, would you? your work isn’t going to be there with you when you die at 90.”
JUYEON - STARGAZING AND VR GAMES
as dumb and sometimes bimbotic as he seems he is, he’s gotten most of the visible constellations memorised and he would not hesitate from telling you all about his childhood with his family when they would travel and try to spot every single constellation they can remember
which brings me to the point where he remembers what you like, but... backhandedly. he doesn’t remember what you like but he remembers what you hate instead, so you don’t ever have to worry about getting that licorice flavoured jelly bean
he would offer a midnight walk to help you relieve your stress, cause he knows you just like seeing the nightsky amidst the peace and quiet while he rambles on for his own satisfaction. not everything has to be so emotionally attached and shared. you can share blissful moments without being the reason for each other’s and that’s totally fine.
juyeon is kind of a scaredy cat in the sense that he isn’t really into horror movies or games but he’s always had that dream to become a pilot and so for his birthday, you brought him to a vr game arcade where he played some plane simulator and ever since, you’ve been taking turns to surprise each other with a new vr arcade spot or adding on to the vr game console set you have at home
“maybe i should digitalise you so i can see you in the vr game”
KEVIN - KARAOKE SESSIONS AND NEON LIGHTS
the best-friend kind of partner you would come across once in a lifetime
a billion film shots of you after he drags you to the karaoke and he beats you at super intense songs like the bohemian rhapsody just cause he can hit those high notes and solely because he was screaming on the floor when he did it
almost left his film camera behind
absolutely LOVES those walks along streets where there are a million neon lights
would come across that one sus neon light signs that indicate a sex toy store and he would give you that sly smile and probably joke for you to go in
kevin has a moon neon light in his room and you have a star or something (whatever you want)
corrects your grammar and pronunciation, only for you two to bicker about it even more when you use google translation and there are different pronunciations depending on where/what accent you’re using
he really is your light in the dark, even if he’s known to be introverted. once he’s comfortable enough with you, he makes you feel like the most important person in the world
has one of those portable speaker microphones at home and he drones on and on and on with some billie eilish song until you hurl a pillow at him
“so you’re the tough girl, like it really rough girl, justcan’tgetenoughofkevingirl, chest always so puffed girl”
CHANHEE - DUETS AND STRAWBERRY PICKING
(i could not find a more candid, softer aesthetic pic for chanhee rip)
his entire wardrobe fits you - the only problem is that he’ll never let you wear it in fear that you’d stain or tear something
shared playlists because that’s how similar your taste in music is, and so sometimes when you have your earpiece in and you’re humming the melody of that song, chanhee picks it up immediately despite not hearing that song, and ends up harmonising with you
got kicked out of the library once or twice because it was exam period and the two of you won’t shut up
ironically doesn’t sing that much if you’re not around
chanhee is a true blue introvert - which is a miracle that you’ve managed to tear through that barrier of his and find out that he giggles at every stupid thing you do: he’s having a bad day? trip over the pavement. he’ll laugh. it works
dragging him out to go strawberry picking was so difficult - but of course chanhee isn’t safe from how beautiful and enticing the fresh fruits were.
didn’t touch anything strawberry flavoured OR any strawberries for the next month or so
his straightforwardness comes with the breakdown of his barrier - but that’s what brings you comfort. he will never lie, he will only be sarcastic and even then, you’d know it’s true
i used duets as a symbol of harmony and being in-sync, though never really exactly the same, and that’s how it is with chanhee. your thoughts are very similar even though he’s much more introverted than you, but that’s what binds you
“i’m gonna tell the librarian i don’t know you if we get kicked out again.”
CHANGMIN - CITY TOURS AND MATCHING OUTFITS
city tours - the kind that you already know inside out and yet you STILL travel the area as if you were a tourist
that’s exactly how it is with changmin: you know him inside out, after being friends for so long, but it never gets old
you’re used to him biting your hand out of nowhere and yet it startles you all the time. that stupid chucky doll in his living room? old, but it never fails to scare you
he doesn’t ever talk about it that much, but he loves it when you co-ordinate outfits
no, it doesn’t mean you wear couple tees, but it’s aesthetically pleasing to changmin that if he wears cool tones, you would too
he’d be reserved about his thoughts and feelings sometimes but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t think or feel them
there’s a strange sense of familiarity with changmin, because you kind of know what to expect but then you’re never disappointed, you know?
“i got you this white pigeon cause it looks like the one i already got... you can give it back to me if you don’t like it though-” /he takes it before you can accept it/
HAKNYEON - STAND UP COMEDY SHOWS AND RUNNING ALONG THE BEACH
there’s something about ju that makes it very casual and easy-going
he hates horror genred themes so fuck that, he would queue online just for the latest ali wong comedy show, even if it’s an online show, and he would laugh until he cried
sometimes he’s a drama queen but that makes it alot easier for you to know what he’s thinking or feeling - it makes communication alot easier
that means a lack of arguments
he’s also very empathetic but straightforward, exactly like how comedy shows are - because they are relatable, they are funny because they bring out the irony and sarcasm and all the dumb things in life that people are sometimes afraid of talking about and hak just says whatever he wants to say, even if he knows it might be hurtful or upsetting
he prioritises truth and honesty over anything else
it makes you a better person, honestly
beach walks - very calming, very liberating. he lets you yell and scream and kick sand back into the water because you can, and he does it with you
tries to teach you how to skip rocks but you suck and you can’t so he just pulls you away from the pile of rocks you amassed
“flick your wrist like that, not like you’re meowing!”
SUNWOO - SOCCER FRIENDLIES AND STUDIO SESSIONS
he will NOT go easy on you in a friendly match: you might be one of the fastest players of the female team but he’s ruthless in his ball-stealing, so even if you were fast enough to keep the ball out of his reach, he’d still be able to snatch it right out between your feet
very, very competitive and does not like to lose
you would always play the ‘ladies first’ card but then he’d throw the ‘feminism’ card back at you
sometimes you act more like siblings than anything else
the only time when he isn’t fuming with competition is if you’re injured because he accidentally tackled you - he’ll gracefully give himself a yellow card before absolutely trashing you in the next match
has one foot into the production game recently - likes to play with the beat board and mixing tunes, and since you’ve had your hand in doing music remixes for a deejay job before, you’re there to identify which songs have the same bass line or beat counts for easier mixing
would make you a playlist of remixes but wouldn’t admit that he spent a whole day in the studio without you just so it would be a surprise
a soft boy stuck in the wraps of an egoistic man
“a day? please. i illegally downloaded half these remixes off the internet cause i’d think you’re too internet-dumb to find them.”
ERIC - BAKING AND SKATEBOARDING
full of impromptu, casual ideas to hang out
baking is a fucking mess - why did he suggest it when he doesn’t even have the right ingredients?
wanted to replace eggs with water - like ok thats supposedly healthier, but why????????????
he likes cleaning so that was the only fucking bonus in baking - had to call his mom for help halfway through because the cookies looked more like goop than playdough
gave up in the end and he repaid his debt by helping clean your kitchen
tried to teach you how to skateboard, but he ended up falling off his own in the process and now he’s got a grazed knee
the kind of person you’d have so much chaotic fun with, he’s that friend your mom told you to NOT hang out with that much if not you’d get run down by a car
has the most fucking random pieces of clothing in his wardrobe, like where did he even get that pink coat from?
“no you have to do this and like lift up your leg and then kinda rest your weight on it before flicking your ankle and like- whOA- OH OW OHNO OHOHOH OW”

Obey Me Brothers and Misc. react to MC having their coffee order memorised
GN!MC
Prologue
You go to a coffee shop. Human world or devildom, doesn't matter. All that matters is after waiting in line you order for you and Ya Boi bc you have their order memorised and they get flustered because every single one of them is a ✨massive softie✨
This is also just me headcanoning their drink orders while I take a break from my dissertation.
(I'm referring to the undateables as Misc. because I don't want to call the the datables bc Luke is a child. He is not datable. That is my son.)
Lucifer
This man would take his coffee in an IV if he could and you can't convince me otherwise
Probably asks that they put as many extra espresso shots in the drink as they're legally allowed to
Anyway, he's very touched that you have his order memorised. He has yours memorised to.
Appreciates that you pay enough attention to him to know his order
Low-key blushing about it and will think about it next time he makes himself coffee
Might even end up making you one to if he isn't working late
Definitely goes for coffee with you more often (definitely not to spend more time with you and also to show that he has your order memorised too 👀)
Mammon
This man is destroyed by any kind of casual affection (pls hold his hand)
I mean, of course you know the great Mammon's coffee order! You were his human weren't ya?
If you're ordering for him, that means you're paying, right? 👀
He do be blushing tho (if you also pay he'll blush even more)
And since you bought it, I GUESS you can have a sip...definitely doesn't just want the casual and domestic intimacy of sharing the same cup
Wants to get coffee with you more often (so he can drink from your cup)
Levi
How did you know the code to order the Ruri-Chan Loveheart Surprise Latte off of the secret menu??????
Oh, you knew it because you listened to him order before and memorised it????????????
Hes not crying, you're crying
No but really, the proof that you actively listen to him when he's talking about his interests has his heart skipping a beat
Hes bright red and trying to cover his face with his hands
Wants to get two straws so you two can sit opposite each other and share a drink but is WAY to shy to ask 🥺👉👈
Will end up buying matching reusable coffee cups that have 'player one' and 'player two' on them
Satan
For the most part he’ll order something basic like an Americano or a flat white UNLESS you're at a place that does latte art.
Then he ALWAYS gets cat themed latte art
Like the little 3D ones they make out of foam and then draw little faces on???
Yeah, he loves them
He think they're so cute
They're in most of his devilgram pics next to whatever book he was reading at the time
One of his favourite things to do is visit cat cafe with you and if you remember his order he'll be very touched and he'll thank you with a blush and a smile
Has your order memorised as well and orders for you next time
Asmo
Changes with whats fashionable but anything ✨pink✨
Pink drink, peach lemonade, strawberry and white chocolate mocha they're all acceptable
But is delighted when you remember his order- it means you've been paying attention to the trends he's following!!!!!
Did you see the drink on his devilgram story????? Isn't it cute!!!!!! You should get one to match and take a selfie together!!!!
Thinks its really cute to go on coffee dates and hear you order for him
Like, yes, they know my order 😌 we're that close 😙✌
Beel
Just hand him a basic Americano, but in a Big Gulp cup
Is touched that you remembered his order, even if it is simple. He just kinda blushes and thanks you (maybe asks if you want to go out dinner that evening).
Make sure he’s fed, or has food available bc if you don’t he will eat ✨The Beans✨
He has done this before and you DO NOT want to see Beel when he has enough caffiene in his system to give a mortal cardiac arrest
He’s already the most athletic brother. You won’t catch him. No one will.
You know Taz from Looney Tunes? When he just...spins super fast in circles and eats stuff??? Yeah, Beel’s like that.
But if he doesn’t eat straight-up coffee beans, he’s just as chill as normal
Just enjoys spending some quality time with you (and yes, he will definitely have your order memorised too)
Belphie
Must!!!!!keep!!!!this!!!!!boy!!!!!awake!!!!!!!
If you remember his order he’s gonna blush, but do his best not to react. But he may also feel the need to Hold Hands later in the day because you’ll have him feeling ✨soft✨.
Has a black coffee but puts, like, 5 sugars in it
He’s basically drinking espresso syrup
and it does NOTHING
Caffiene does not affect this man AT. ALL.
It’s almost scary - he can down 3 espressos and then nap for five hours afterwards
Doesn’t love going on coffee dates because if you’re too caffinated he has trouble keeping up with you, and you won’t feel like having a nap with him. But if you’re just having one coffee, or a tea or something, he does like how chilled out the date can be.
Diavolo
I get grande iced machiatto vibes, and I can’t tell you why
Loves that you remember his order and isn’t shy about it. Will blush at first and then break into a massive beaming smile
He’s paying for the coffee (he’s literally royalty, he’s paying for the damn coffee)
Makes him feel like you two are close and he may attempt to hold hands later if the vibe is right.
Constantly asks you out on coffee dates afterwards - loves spending time with you and loves how informal and relaxed it is
Will also remember your order and make sure that Barb knows how to make it for when you visit the Palace
But still prefers the actual act of going out to a coffee shop with you
If you bring him his coffee order when he’s working, however👀👀👀...blushing mess.
The fact that you went to get coffee for him...even though he knows that you know that Barb is perfectly capable of making him coffee...that you got coffee and thought of him...and bought a coffee for him...and brought it to him...the casual affection, the softness, the thoughtfulness. 😳😳😳 he’s destroyed. BLUSHING. He’s literally so touched. Gonna commit hand holding crimes. Will think about it all day. Will miss you 3x more than normal just because. May even end up doing some light ~pining~ 🥺🥺🥺
Barbatos
✨Tea✨
This is the Undisputed King of Tea
He knows every blend of tea that the shop offers and has the menu memorised.
Will also tell you about the different tea blends if you ask, describes how they taste, what they’re ingredients are, where they’re from, etc.
He’s very grateful if you remember his order, but if you then bring up some of the trivia he’s shared about that tea?? Blushing.
Very touched that you not only remembered his order but the things about it that interest him. The fact that you clearly paid attention when he was talking about tea.
Thinks of you as a very considerate person and will offer to share
He’ll also invite you over for tea a the palace more often now that you’ve shown an interest in Tea Trivia (even if that interest is only based in your interest in him)
Will also invite you to come with him when he needs to go to the market to restock the Palaces tea supplies and may even...h...hold ur hand...😳😳😳
Simeon
This is a chai latte man, don't come for me
Will test out how it tastes with different syrups, particularly likes either hazelnut or vanilla
Can also do his own latte art
When you order for him??? And have his order memorised????? He's delighted.
Its not uncommon for angels to remember each others orders, but he's touched nonetheless (yes that does mean he has your order memorised)
Will tell you that he's touched by your consideration
Just gives him the warm fuzzies and it also kinda reminds him of home
Offers to do latte art in your drink if he can
Would also be the kind of person to bring you coffee in class, and he'll do latte art on that so you can take off the lid and see a little foamy heart and the like ❤☕
Luke (platonic)
No coffee!!!! He's a child!!!!!!
You order him a puppychino hot chocolate
With whipped cream and cinnamon which is his preferred topping and a slice of cake
Hes definitely super happy about the fact you remembered how he likes his hot chocolate
Tells you that your so nice and should come back to the celestial realm with Simeon and him instead of staying down here with a bunch of no-good demons who don't deserve you 😤
Plus the celestial realm has the best hot chocolate!
You also let him have SMALL sips of your coffee but ONLY so he can scope out which beans to use in his next coffee and walnut cake!!!!!!!
Solomon
Probably has some awful sounding custom drink like a fruit tea with pumpkin spice syrup and milk in it 😣
Or a peach lemonade with a shot of espresso and marshmallows 🤢
So its super unique, but he's still surprised you remembers the specifics
Offers to let you try it
DON’T
Will take you out to get coffee together more often, partly to spend time with you and partly to horrify you with his drink choices
#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me swd#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me levi#obey me satan#obey me asmo#obey me beel#obey me belphie#obey me headcanons#obey me coffee#obey coffee headcanons

What The Arcana Love Interests Would Order At Starbucks
I am somewhat certified to create this because I am a sbux barista. I also used their official favorite drinks in their bios as inspiration for my choices. Enjoy this very random post I spent too much time on.
Asra
{Steeped chai with honey}
Steeped chai is just a regular tea bag of chai, different from the chai used in chai lattes (that’s a concentrate). He definitely wouldn’t like the concentrate because it is very sweet. Also I think he’d much rather have actual tea. In his official bio it says his favorite drink is lapsang souchong which is a black tea. I’ve read it has a smoky taste which chai doesn’t have that but, it’s the closest to lapsang that Starbucks carries. Chai does have that more spicy taste and great aromatics I think he would enjoy.
Julian
{Quad blonde espresso shots}
In his official bio it says his favorite drink is black coffee. Now I’m pretty sure the world that The Arcana is set in does not have espresso. Despite that, I think Julian would love espresso because it’s bitter and highly caffeinated. This man loves to suffer and black espresso from Starbucks will indeed make him suffer. The beans are low quality and super bitter, but the caffeine is top notch. Who needs sleep when you have blonde espresso?
Nadia
{Hot Chestnut Praline Latte}
From my experience people that order this seem very sophisticated and intelligent, and Nadia happens to be both of those things. This kind of tastes like the toffee nut latte but better? I don’t really know how else to explain the taste. I couldn’t think of a drink similar to her official favorite drink which is white wine. I just think that Nadia would like this and I don’t really have any solid reasoning behind it. It just makes sense.
Portia
{Irish Cream Cold Brew}
So Portia’s official favorite drink is beer. The Irish cream cold brew is basically a non alcoholic coffee version of the og Irish cream drink. Personally I find Irish cream to be disgusting, but if Portia loves beer then she’d probably like this. It kind of has a vanilla and chocolate flavor, but then there’s that annoying bitter alcohol flavor where they’re trying to mimic the whiskey from the og. Portia definitely likes alcohol so I think she’d order this.
Lucio
{Mocha cookie crumble frappuccino, extra cookie crumble}
This has to be the most annoying drink on the menu to make (excluding London Fogs.) It has chocolate sauce, cookie crumbles, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and MORE COOKIE CRUMBLES! His official favorite drink is red wine but I really couldn’t think of any sbux drink close to that. Now I have played his route and I know he likes cookies, so I think it’s a good fit.
Muriel
{Latte with long shots and honey blend syrup}
His official favorite drink is black mead. Now I’ve ever had any mead before but I read black mead is made with honey and is bitter. So I chose long shots because they tend to be on the bitter side. Not my favorite but if he likes mead then Muriel would probably like them. Honey blend is a honey flavored syrup which is different from the regular honey I mentioned for Asra’s drink. Honey blend tends to be sweeter but I think the long shots would balance it out.

“You’re a tea-lover yet you come to the coffee shop where I work at just to see my foam art and you give me hefty tips regularly so I’ve taken it upon myself to master the art of tea-making just for you” AU. - Wangxian for preference!
“Hey, Xianxian,” Luo Qingyang whispered, poking Wei Ying with her pointy elbow. “He’s here again.”
She didn’t have to elaborate who ‘he’ was – the person in question was already sitting down at his usual table, in full view of the counter Wei Ying and Luo Qingyang were standing behind.
This customer had become somewhat of a fixture in their shop lately. All the people who worked there knew him by now, for two different reasons. The first reason was that the man was simply insanely good-looking, with handsome, harmonious features and well-formed, sensual lips that some women would be willing to kill for. He always wore well-tailored clothing that looked expensive in an understated way, which only served to underline his immaculate looks. The only thing that marred his good looks was that he never smiled and rarely spoke.
The second reason why everyone knew him was that he always ordered a coffee with latte art, but only from Wei Ying. There were some customers that made it a habit to order from their favourite barista, but it was strange for this particular customer, since he never actually seemed to enjoy drinking the coffee he’d ordered. Wei Ying had often wondered why he still insisted on ordering Wei Ying’s coffee’s if he didn’t like the coffee that Wei Ying made. Or why he came to a shop that served nothing but coffee, at all.
(Self-punishment? Harassment? Wei Ying refused to be intimidated.)
In short, the man was an enigma. But he was a handsome enigma, so all the girls in the shop went crazy over him whenever he came. All girls apart from Luo Qingyang, that was. She alone seemed to be completely immune to the customer’s good looks. But then, she was also immune to Wei Ying’s charms, so maybe she just disliked handsome men on principle.
“Xianxian, stop gawking like the embarrassment that you are and go take his order!” Luo Qingyang hissed in his ear, jabbing her pointy elbow into his ribs once more. “It’s not like he lets anyone else take his order!”
“Ouch, Mianmian, you’re so cruel!” Wei Ying complained, rubbing his smarting side. “I’m going, I’m going! There’s no hurry, it’s not like we’re busy right now.”
Luo Qingyang gave him a stern look and he hurriedly took off, making his way to the now occupied table.
“Hello,” he greeted with his friendliest customer smile. “What can I bring you today? The usual?”
The customer sent him a slightly confused look (as if Wei Ying wouldn’t remember his order by now, hello), but then he nodded once.
“Hn.”
“Very well, I’ll be right back.”
He turned around and went back to the counter. But today, instead of heading directly for the coffee machine to prepare the order, he opened one of the cupboards where he had prepared a surprise just for today. Well, he had hoped he’d get to use it today, but he hadn’t known if the customer really was going to visit. And indeed, he had been lucky.
He pulled a small tea set out of the cupboard and started to heat up the water and prepare the tea, just as he had practiced a dozen times at home. His movements were confident by now – he was sure he was going to prepare a really good cup of tea. Maybe not perfect, but good. And because he was unable to make any latte art as he usually would, he had prepared something else. He put the prepared cup of tea on a saucer and placed a little chocolate rabbit (self-made, of course) onto the rim of the saucer as decoration.
Luo Qingyang gave him a strange look, but he ignored her. He needed to move before the tea would go cold. Putting his creation onto a tray, he carefully carried his work to the waiting customer. With a flourish, he set the saucer onto the table in front of the customer and presented his work proudly.
All he got in return, however, was a severe frown.
“It’s good tea, I promise,” Wei Ying said encouragingly. “I can’t say I’m perfect, but I’m confident in the quality of the tea. And since I think you liked my little foam rabbits, have a little chocolate rabbit as decoration as a replacement.”
“I did not order tea,” the customer said, severe frown still in place.
“I know, I know,” Wei Ying reassured him nervously. “But uh… you never actually seemed to enjoy drinking the coffee that I make. I don’t want to make my customers suffer through my drinks, you know. And well, if I’m not entirely mistaken, then you’re the nephew of Gongfu cha master Lan Qiren. I thought that tea, rather than coffee, might be more your… thing.”
Lan Zhan (Wei Ying was relatively sure that that was his name) did not reply. He just kept staring at the cup in silence.
“I’m sorry if I overstepped,” Wei Ying said, suddenly feeling very nervous. How had he ever thought this was a good idea? Of course he’d overstepped. This wasn’t what the customer had ordered. Whatever he might feel about Lan Zhan not enjoying the coffee he brewed, it was none of his business. He had to do what the customer asked him to. “If you want, I’ll bring you your coffee now. Free of charge, of course.”
“Nn.”
“Excuse me?”
“This establishment does not serve tea,” Lan Zhan observed.
“No, usually not,” Wei Ying said, clutching at his tray as if it could provide him with security. “I brought my own stuff to work. Oh! I made sure everything is in order, of course. I properly cleaned everything beforehand, and the tea is fresh.”
Lan Zhan didn’t visibly react to Wei Ying’s words. Instead, his attention seemed to be focused on the little chocolate rabbit next to the teacup, the one that Wei Ying had painstakingly modelled and decorated in order to make it look as cute as one of his foam art rabbits. Carefully, Lan Zhan reached out and touched the rabbit with the tip of his finger.
“You… made it?” Lan Zhan asked.
“Yeah! Took me a while to figure it out, not gonna lie, hahaha,” Wei Ying said. “It’s cute, though, no?”
“Hn,” Lan Zhan confirmed, and a big smile spread over Wei Ying’s face. Lan Zhan thought his little rabbit was cute!
Lan Zhan finally peeled his eyes away from the rabbit and looked up at Wei Ying.
“I like tea,” he enunciated. “I also like rabbits.”
Wei Ying smiled, feeling way too relieved for getting away with switching up a customer’s order without asking. But he didn’t care! Lan Zhan liked his surprise!
“So, what made you order all those coffees that you didn’t like?” Wei Ying asked, a little teasingly. “Don’t tell me the foam rabbits I make were cute enough to make you drink all that bitter bean juice in exchange?”
Lan Zhan looked back down on the tea in front of him.
“Hn,” he said, and before Wei Ying could ask what exactly he meant, Lan Zhan had lifted the cup to his mouth and was sipping on the tea.
“It is good,” he declared once he had set the cup down again.
“If you want to,” Wei Ying said eagerly. “I’ll make tea for you from now own. But shhh.” He conspiratorially held a finger to his lips. “Don’t tell the others. I’m not sure my boss is going to like it if I supply the customers with anything other than bitter bean juice.”
Lan Zhan looked up at him, and Wei Ying’s heart beat a little faster. Lan Zhan really was very handsome. Especially from up close. Such pretty eyes that almost seemed to smile at him. He could drown in them, almost.
“I know a very good tearoom,” Lan Zhan said, and Wei Ying tilted his head, confused at the non-sequitur. Was he trying to gently refuse Wei Ying’s offer?
“If you like tea, we should go there,” Lan Zhan continued. “When you’re… not working.”
Wait, what?
Wei Ying gaped at Lan Zhan, speechless.
Wait, was this– shit, was this– He was familiar with the concept, because it sometimes happened to his female coworkers, but this couldn’t– there was no way–
“Forgive me,” Lan Zhan said, already reaching for his wallet. “I overstepped. I will–”
“NO!” Wei Ying shouted, just barely managing to hold himself back from latching onto Lan Zhan’s arm at the last moment. “I mean… sure. I can give you my number. If you want.”
Whatever it was that happened the next moment, there was no way Wei Ying’s poor heart could have been prepared for it. Lan Zhan’s mouth did something small, an almost imperceptible curving of his lips, but it transformed his entire expression, and… he was smiling.
Oh god, he was smiling at Wei Ying.
With a thundering heart, Wei Ying smiled back. Oh god, this was impossible. This… wow. He would do a lot of things to get smiled at like that again.
“I… give me a second. I need something to write.”
And with his still thundering heart, he ran back to the counter to grab a pen.
Luo Qingyang gave him a flat look as he rifled through their weird collection of mostly broken pens.
“Listen, I’m glad you two finally got your heads out of your asses, but can you please remember you’re still working right now?” she asked. “I’m not going to do your work just so you can make heart eyes at loverboy over there.”
“He’s not–”
“Sure he isn’t,” Luo Qingyang cut in. “That’s also why he only ever looks at you whenever he visits. Give him your number and go back to work, it’s upsetting having to watch you two being shy maidens at each other. It’s nauseating, is what it is.”
“Wait, Mianmian, so you think–”
Luo Qingyang gave him a slap on the back of his head. “The answer is yes, now go give him your number and get it over it.”
Wei Ying peered over the counter curiously, and he found Lan Zhan watching him. When he smiled, Lan Zhan answered with a matching almost-smile.
Oh, Wei Ying’s heart was going to stop any minute now. No wonder Lan Zhan never smiled. It was an actual health risk. He was doing humanity a great service.
“Dammit, stop it already!” Luo Qingyang hissed, and pushed him out from behind the counter.
He wouldn’t stop, Wei Ying thought giddily as he approached Lan Zhan’s table with his number in hand.
He wouldn’t stop, he thought as he placed the paper into Lan Zhan’s hand, their fingers brushing against each other in a way that certainly wasn’t a casual, appropriate touch.
He wouldn’t stop, he thought as Lan Zhan looked up at him with a slight flush in his cheeks.
And after all, he had just started.
He would make it up to Mianmian later.

MOONCHILD 🌙 6
SUMMARY: Soulmates are a common thing. Everyone has one. Some people think soulmates are the greatest gift fate could give, others are envious about happy couples that were lucky enough to receive a wonderful partner. One of them was Min Yoongi. Your time to meet your significant other hasn’t come yet, stumbling into the tattoo parlor with a simple idea in mind, not knowing that you will be bound to step by more often.

WARNINGS: mentions of anxiety, fluff, kissies, deep talk with yoongi, mentions of heartbreak
Somehow, it was easier to warm up to Namjoon and Jimin than you thought in the beginning. It’s a weird feeling, growing comfortable around basically strangers, but it feels like you’ve known them since forever. Thinking about it now, you’d totally agree to what Jungkook and Taehyung said before: a bond isn’t something random and that it’s impossible to ignore it. To you, it feels just right, without any further explanations needed. You even stopped wondering why you always feel so at ease when one of your mates is around, why any fears seem meaningless when you’re with them.
Because you couldn’t be happier about the bond you shared with your four… now boyfriends. Your soulmates. The loves of your life. Of course, everything is still new for you and the group’s dynamics are still confusing to you, but as Jimin once said: you’ve got time. Things are getting easier every day and everything is falling into place slowly, allowing you to feel lighter every day.
Soon enough, your spare days are consisting of either hanging around at the tattoo parlour or drawing in the bakery to at least spend some time with Jimin and Hoseok. You’ve grown closer to the latter, lucky to have a neutral person to talk to, someone unbiased when it comes to your lovelife.
He’s incredibly funny and you’d never complain about his teasing jokes, because you’re not the only victim; he’s unstoppable and your four boyfriends are his favorite target for his bickering. And Hoseok himself could only describe you with one word: endearing. He loves seeing you smile, loves to be the reason for your adorable reactions. The red haired man knows that he adores people way too much for his own sake, but you’re definitely one of a kind. He almost feels a soft lightning of jealousy whenever he notices how differently you brighten up once one of your soulmates comes into sight, but he’s quick to remind himself that he has an adorable soulmate on his own.
Hoseok even created a special cupcake flavor for you - a cotton candy cupcake with bubblegum frosting, pink and blue, melting on your tastebuds.
“Hobi those are amazing!” You smile as you lick the frosting off your cupcake, sprinkles sticking to your nose as you do so. Hoseok grins, shrugging his shoulders as he places another one in front of you. “I know right? The bubblegum frosting kills it! This one is the last, though. I don’t want to feed you cupcakes all day long. They aren’t going to be special to you any longer if you keep eating several of them every day.”You pout, looking over to your boyfriend to save you. Surely someone will make Hobi cave right? No one can resist you; you always end up having what you want.
“But I like your cupcakes, Hobi! Jimin, tell him that cupcakes are good for me. Some people might need vitamins, but I need cupcakes to live!” Jimin laughs, eyes disappearing as he holds up his hands in defence. Goodness, can you get any cuter? He can’t believe that their soulmate can be such a child sometimes. You’re worse than Jungkook and Taehyung and the three of you can become a dangerous trio.
“I can’t help it, peaches.” He walks over to you, bending down slightly to match your height. Then, he licks one fat stripe across your nose.
“Jimin!” You screech at the disgustingly wet feeling, but your boyfriend just giggles, licking his lips slowly.
“You had frosting on your nose, I couldn’t help it. Even though I have to say that I’m not a fan of the bubblegum.” He wiggles his eyebrows and you giggle quietly despite the sticky feeling not leaving your face.
“Yah! No sex in my bakery, Jimin go and do some dishes, mop the floor or do whatever you usually do at work!” Jin chimes in, gently slapping the back of Jimin’s head. You can’t help but laugh out loud as you notice Jimin’s dejected expression. He glares at you slightly, whilst you wiggle your eyebrow just like he did before. You get his “wait until we’re alone” message clearly and think that you might have to run away before his shift is done otherwise you might be in for a complicated time later.
“Karma, Minie. Thanks, Oppa! How are you doing, Jinnie? I haven’t seen you around in a while.” You smile sweetly, trying to distract him from your boyfriend before he gives him more work. The eldest sighs dramatically, showing you all the boxes he just carried inside the bakery.
“I spent the weekend in my hometown to see my family, but also went to this kind of coffee expo, that’s where I got all that new stuff, coffee beans with rose aroma, different oils to infuse the coffee and pastry and even some of those little sprinkles Hoseok loves using - but those glow in the dark!”
You scrunch your nose worriedly. “Are those healthy?”
“Yah! Who cares about health if you can have cupcakes that glow in the dark? Sometimes you’re the worldwide funny girl, Y/N.”
Jin laughs and shakes his head as he continues to carry the boxes into the storage room, mumbling how exciting those sprinkles are and that they were worth every cent. A big smile is plastered on your face and you’re sure it won’t fade anytime soon as you feel a warm sensation spreading through your entire body. This is one of your new safe places. You don’t know a lot about Seokjin and Hoseok, but they are possibly the nicest men you ever met (excluding your soulmates) and you often find yourself speaking with the two men, spending some quality time with them in the café. It feels like you’re a little family and you can’t help but giggle at the image that is now stuck in your mind; Jin being the loving grandma whilst Hoseok is the chaotic father that doesn’t even know his children’s friends' names.
“Hobi, please don’t put them on my cupcakes. I think Yoongi would love them though, they match his personality and that way you can test if they’re harmful or not.” You wink at the couple as you start collecting your belongings and shoving them into your backpack before returning your cup and plate to Jimin.
“Thanks, Minnie. I’ll see you tonight, right?” You press a kiss onto his lips before turning around to Hoseok.
“Hobi, help your man, you don’t have those strong arms for nothing! Thanks for the cupcake, I hope there’ll be more tomorrow!” Hobi laughs, shaking his head as he hands you a small bag of pastries for the boys in the parlour. You smile quickly before leaving. Jimin sighs behind, already missing your comforting presence.
“You have a lovely soulmate Jimin-ah.” Jimin perks up at the mention of you and he giggles quietly. Hoseok smiles at him, happy to see his friend so joyful, breathing happiness. Jimin has been glowing recently, and Hoseok knows who is responsible; and to be honest, he can’t really blame him.
“She’s the best”.
The days at the parlour are the most thrilling ones because Jungkook couldn’t stop suggesting to tattoo you, even if he’d only get to tattoo small little designs in hidden places. In the beginning, you were strictly against it, but his round doe-eyes combined with the adorable pout made it almost impossible to say no. And boy he knows it. He knows how to use his charms to make you cave in. So one day, you indeed gave in.
“Fine,” you sighed, “but make me a small dinosaur, I want something cute on my ankle.”
Firstly, he’s overjoyed that you said yes but then he replays the sentence in his mind and the thought is not so attractive anymore. Jungkook sighs, stomping his boot-cled foot on the floor.
“A small dinosaur? Why not something more.. dangerous?”
He can’t help but imagine you covered in his arts, only the prettiest pieces for you, and he can’t explain how much the thought arouses him. It has-scratch that-you have an effect on him that he can’t really comprehend. But… Come on, a small dinosaur? He expected better from you.
“I’m not dangerous, honey. I can still ask Yoongi to tattoo me one, though. If you’re not up for a challenge…” Smirking, you wait until he reacts, knowing that Jungkook would never say no to a challenge.
But what’s making him silently snap is not really the challenge but the thought of someone else accessing your skin. No. He’s not going to allow that; it’s either him or Tae, but no one else.
Behind you, Yoongi’s head pops out of the room he’s currently tattooing in.
“I’d say no as well, I hate those minimalist tattoos,” he replies before closing the door again, leaving you more than confused.
Once you look back to Jungkook, he already prepared some small designs despite his complaints. There is no way he is letting someone else tattoo your perfect skin, so he prepared a little t-rex, a stegosaurus and a cute little triceratops.
“The last one, the last one!” You clap your hands, excited for the new addition on your body. Jungkook grumbles, moving towards the desk to prepare a stencil.
“Get a girlfriend they said, it’ll be fun they said. Tae would never want a dinosaur tattoo from me.”
You frown, eyebrow raised as you look over to your boyfriend.
“Are you saying you regret being my mate? Because last night when you had your dick between my boo-”
“I didn’t say anything, calm down.” Jungkook rolls his eyes as he comes back to you again, pulling you into his own little tattoo corner. Sometimes you’re more dramatic than Jimin and he doesn’t know if he thinks it’s endearing or just slightly annoying. Usually, he goes for the first one.
Small tattoos were soon enough a weekly thing for you, sometimes Taehyung chimed in with an idea but it were mostly some scribbles from Jungkook’s sketchbook that caught your eye and were inked into your skin a few hours later. If the first dinosaur hadn’t really thrilled Jungkook, he began to adore these little additions to your skin somehow all fitting together. The two boys were getting protective of you and what you were getting on your skin, debating where and what to tattoo to make sure the whole would look pretty on you.
One day, Jungkook is just getting started to tattoo a little moon onto your wrist, next to the sun that he gave you last week when Yoongi comes into the parlour, cupcake and coffee in his hands. His eyes meet yours and for a second you see so many different feelings swirling in his orbs that you feel slightly uncomfortable, even with your boyfriend next to you.
“Y/N, again? Sometimes I wish I wouldn’t have pulled you into the parlour. Don’t you have a workplace to be or another one of your several boyfriends to annoy? Jungkook, you need to charge her for all that material at some point, I’m not shitting money.” The shop owner scoffs as he places his breakfast onto the front desk. You smile, ignoring his snarky remarks, because by now you know that all he does is bark but not bite. Yet, the gloomy feeling you have is not leaving your skin and you shiver for a second. Jungkook’s eyes snap to yours, worry written all over his features. You soothe him down as you feel his questions through the bond. Does he think he hurt you even though he still has not started the tattoo?
“Oh, you got a cupcake from Hobi-oppa? Wait, is that the special one he makes for his friend? Poor soul, his friend didn’t pick it up again?” Jungkook giggles, having to pause the tattoo gun for a second to look at his Hyung’s reaction. He knows who the friend is and your confusion is just peak comedy.
If only you knew what you had started.
Yoongi shoots him a warning glare before mumbling a “I’m the friend, you idiot”. It takes you a few seconds to understand what he just said and you realize why Jungkook is a giggling mess by now.
Hoseok’s friend is Yoongi.
Yoongi and Hoseok know each other and Yoongi picks up cupcakes on a regular basis even though he told you he wasn’t one for sweets.
“You’re friends with Hobi? I’m sorry I didn’t know it was you otherwise I wouldn't have been that rude.” You smile sheepishly even though the blonde man seems to be ignoring you. “That’s so unexpected though, you’re grumpy and he’s a sunshine. I wouldn’t have guessed it, you must make an interesting pair. When worlds collide, huh” you chuckle as you watch Jungkook finishing the last line. “Thanks, bub!” You press a quick kiss onto his lips before he wraps your wrist, then you’re done. He knows that Yoongi is about to say more; the older is unable to finish a conversation without making sure that he has the last word, especially when it comes to Hoseok. Jungkook is not one to get involved where he shouldn’t, but sometimes he has questions that are burning his tongue even if she succeeds in keeping everything for himself.
What you don’t hear is the painful sound coming from Yoongi as he watches you and Jungkook’s bond playing games with him again. He’s been trying to deny that the bond hurt him when he sees you with someone else, but sometimes, it stings a little bit too much for him to ignore it. Your tattoo was still there, even after you accepted your other mates, so who was he kidding? He wasn’t even enough for you, he couldn’t replace any of those young men - not that he wanted to. You were annoying, too gigglish and beaut- always there, you were always there. Whether it’s the bakery or their parlour, your scent, your laugh and your voice are everywhere. It follows Yoongi and he hates every second of it. Sometimes he feels like Edward when he met Bella for the first time. Not that Yoongi watched Twilight. No. He has… just heard of it.
You are everywhere and he hates it. He truly wishes he had not dragged you into his shop because now you’re not leaving even though he’s doing everything to avoid you.
But why does he even want you to be bothered? It's not like you mean anything to him, he has no reasons to expect a reaction from you right? Especially since you found other soulmates, far better than him apparently. You even spend more time with Seokjin and Hoseok than with him anyway.
“Yeah, I’ve known him for quite some time now. Free coffee and cupcakes from time to time are a nice thing to enjoy.”
Quite some time, sure, Yoongi thinks. What about your teenage years that you were inseparable? The crush you’ve had on him for ages? The one drunk kiss you shared the night before you turned 18? That drunk kiss could’ve activated the soulmate bond, but you chickened out and ran away like a baby, it’s your loss, bastard. Seokjin used his chance and what happened after that was obvious.
Yoongi turns his back to you to take a deep breath, his oversized shirt slowly moving down his shoulder and exposing his neck before he can do anything against it. He realizes his mistake a little bit too late even though he’s quick to turn around again, looking for any sign in each Jungkook’s and your face - obviously both of you realized something. He sees the confusion melting into a frown on your face and he cannot meet your eyes. This is happening, isn’t it?
“Why do we have the same tattoo, Yoongi?”
The fact that he doesn’t even bother to answer is making you angry. Why the fuck does he has the same tattoo? You’re 100% sure of what you just saw, you look at this tattoo every morning before getting dressed. You know the lines by heart and it is not possible for you to mistake it by any means.
So why the fuck does he have your tattoo copied on his skin? Reasons and possibilities are flying through your racing and furious mind. You already imagine the worst. Maybe one of the boys even helped him? He cannot reach this place by himself. It means that someone else did it for him. Did one of your very own soulmates betray you like that? “I drew it myfuckingself and now you’re running around with a cheap copy of it? Who did it, Jungkook!” You’re on your feet, getting closer to the young man at a dangerously slow pace. Jungkook blinks at the sudden call of his name “Tell me. Did you or Taehyung help him?” He tilts his head obviously confused by what you are saying and it only angers you more. Is he playing dumb now? You know a tattoo when you see one and even though it’s not your job, you’re well aware that the place of the tattoo is not one someone can reach alone. Someone had to help.
Jungkook is getting mad too as he starts pulling the puzzle together but he sighs, shaking his head. You are his priority, he has to get you to calm down first. You are a team, not against each other. “Neither Tae nor I knew about this, I’m as shocked as you are, love. We wouldn’t have done that, I promise you. A tattoo is far too personal for us to do something this low. Now though,” Jungkook glares at Yoongi, hands slowly balling into fists, obviously understanding what’s going on. Yoongi just smirks at him, happy to piss the younger off. “Don’t act up, Jungkook.”
At least Yoongi has the upper hand for now and if he can take a little advantage out of it, then he will. The angry face of Jungkook is too good to pass the opportunity. Though, Yoongi does not dare meet your eyes; he fears what he’s going to see if he does.
“Act up? Why? What’s going on?” But both of them ignore you and this is only rilling you up.
“You have some guts Yoongi, you still didn’t answer me!” You almost growl, looking at the white haired man whose lips are still holding that sassy smirk. He’s still not looking at you and the fact that he is ignoring you is pissing you off greatly. Who does he think he is?
“You knew about that and didn’t think it would be important to tell her?” Jungkook gets no answer so he goes on “you know what could’ve happened and yet, you didn’t tell her? She could’ve been in so much pain, you could have hurt her, don’t you fucking care at least a little? You rejected your mate without even telling her about it you fucking son of a bitch!” With one big jump, Jungkook was right in front of Yoongi, hitting him right into the stomach.
But then, you realize it. The tattoo appeared on his skin because it became the link between you and him. Your bond reached him through the tattoo.
Yoongi is your fucking soulmate and he obviously rejected you as he never talked to you about and seemed to be actively avoiding you. The thought alone causes you to shiver. You failed as a mate before even being given the chance to prove yourself.
You laugh darkly as your fears finally become reality. Four perfect mates who loved you and accepted you for who you were? This was only a story you find in books, not in reality.
No, in reality you have five mates and one would rather be risking both of your lives (thus risking all of the others as well) than to try to speak to you about it. Your voice is caught in your throat when you realize that you’ve also put your four other mates in danger because of this. If you’d come to lose the bond with them, it could damage their bonds with each other and most probably could hurt them physically and mentally as well. The tears are hard to swallow, but you have to for now. You want to vomit when you remember what you’ve been told about mates rejecting their other halves. It’s unfair how your bond is manifesting only now when it never did even though it reached for Yoongi’s. Because it hurts so much you wish you had felt the pain before, just for it not to hurt as much as it does right now.
You’re not really sure where the pain comes from but you’re lightheaded when you look at both men again. You see Yoongi on the floor and Jungkook’s rage is flagrant on his features. You never saw him that angry. You’re almost concerned for a few seconds but you laugh bitterly in your head.
Are you that pathetic that one of your mates had to punch someone for you?
Even though Jungkook’s move is well deserved - and makes you feel somewhat better, because he seems to feel the anger you’re feeling as well - this isn’t his fight. You’re not one to enjoy fights.
That’s not what you wanted.
Why have you been tied to all of them? It feels unfair. You’re only destroying what they have and not adding anything positive. Just looking at what is happening now, you only brought chaos.
Yoongi might not want you as a soulmate, that’s his own choice. It hurts, sure, but this has nothing to do with Taehyung or Jungkook because the tattoo happened before you were a thing. And now you’ve involved both of them, hurting both in the process and almost putting them in danger because of your bonds. You can’t let that continue, you have to find a way to stop everything.
Once you get a hold on Jungkook and are face to face with Yoongi’s cocky smirk, you can’t help the urge to just smack him across the cheek, tears spilling from your eyes before you leave into the locker room, knowing that Taehyung was just about to finish his break.
This is what Yoongi wanted, so this is what he gets.
You have to leave, you have to find another place to be because you can’t breathe correctly. You feel Jungkook reaching through the bond but you’re trying your everything to refuse him access. How do you cut a bond without hurting someone? Is that even possible?
You laugh over your thoughts as you notice that you are trying to reach for comfort. What are you doing? Are you trying to leave or are you trying to seek for one of your soulmates? What are you trying to do? Feel validated by one of the four men you adore? What if it only made them realize what you are? You’re just a nuisance after all. You keep on ruining what they all have. Do you really deserve to be selfish once again and seek for one of them to comfort you?
At least you know better than running to Jimin right now, because he would’ve told Namjoon, Namjoon would’ve called Taehyung and Taehyung would… You don’t even know what Taehyung would do, you don't even know what you are doing, you just don’t want to hurt or worry any of them, yet your mind is turning cloudy as you open the door and fall directly into Taehyung’s arms, bond reaching for his instantly.
You feel pathetic. Running into your soulmates arms as soon as something is going wrong. You’re just going to worry Taehyung, which is going to worry Jimin, who is going to worry Namjoon and- And you can’t think anymore.
Your mind is racing but you can’t focus anymore. The only good thing about finding Taehyung is that it’s better if he hears about what happened from you, rather than to understand everything by someone else. Besides, it feels a little bit soothing to have him close to you. You feel like you belong somewhere despite… Despite what Yoongi decided for you and for your bond.
“Angel, what’s wrong? I can feel a lot through the bond, but it’s… Quite negative, what is happening?” Taehyung whispers as he strokes your hair carefully, embracing you in a warm hug that soothes your hazy mind a bit, but everything still feels suffocating. You just hope that your feelings aren’t fully communicated through the bond because you’re probably setting everyone in panic if so. You can’t contain your words but your labored breathing makes it difficult to actually explain what is happening right now to your confused soulmate.
“Yoongi… he has my koi carp tattoo… He didn’t even tell me, god, Tae. Why me? He hates me, he so obviously h-hates me and now he’s mated to me as well? H-He doesn’t even want me and bad things happen to people that don’t accept the bond and it means that you g-guys are in d-danger because of m-me. God I r-ruin everything, I’m a-awful…”
“Wha- shh, angel, slow down. You’re okay, you’re safe with me, alright? Don’t say those things about yourself, you're perfect sweetheart. You’re not ruining anything” Taehyung has to breathe a few times not to curse loudly and yell some pieces of his mind to his Hyung.
He respects Yoongi a lot, he has always been his mentor. But there are things that he does not tolerate and making his soulmate cry and panic that much is one of them.
God, he has felt the urgency in his bond; you were trying to desperately find an issue. Had he not had his hands full of ink when the bond started to weigh his whole soul down, he would have flown to the lobby. He feels regretful for not throwing everything away in order to come to you.
You and Jungkook are both way more precious to him than some disposable things. He knew something was wrong and he had tried to brush it off, thinking that you both were together and thus, nothing could happen to you. He should have followed his bond at the exact moment he felt something.
Fucking shit, Yoongi is your soulmate? And he said nothing? What if something had happened to you because of his rejection of the bond?
Taehyung is gritting his teeth; he has to calm down otherwise he’ll never soothe you down either. Yoongi is an asshole. Okay, he didn’t think that he would ever do something that low but he has to focus on you and soothing the ache in the bond.
He tries to mentally erase the moment you started saying you were an awful soulmate because it is not helping him. He just wants to leave the room and find Yoongi.
But Taehyung is an adult, he knows that acting rash won’t help.
He’ll get angry at Yoongi later.
“Jungkook is probably talking to him right now, even though I’m… Definitely not the biggest fan of his actions, Yoongi... I don’t really know if he does, but I think that Yoongi might deserve it right now. However, that’s Yoongi’s problem right now. You don’t have to endure it, nor to wait for him. It’s not because he is your soulmate that you have to think of him first, alright? Do you want me to take you home? Away from Yoongi? I don’t have any more clients, I should be doing some sketches but I can do those at yours if you want to. Think of yourself first for once, will you? If you feel like you have things to tell him, then we can stay, but I don’t want you to feel any kind of pressure for an idiot that didn’t even think of you in his decisions.”
Tae kisses your forehead, but you shake your head no.
“I have to talk to him about it. I want to know why he hates me so fucking much. Also, I want to return the right of having a soulmate, some people are overwhelmed with just one, now I have 4 and a half!” Taehyung smiles, proud of you. “That’s my baby.” His thumb runs on your cheeks, erasing the tears that escaped.
“Whatever Yoongi chooses is not your responsibility, alright? It doesn’t change that we have a bond, the five of us and you are with us whatever happens, okay? You are an amazing soulmate, Angel. Don’t doubt it. The one who fucked up is Yoongi. Not you. Yeah?”
You nod quietly against his palm and he kisses the crown of your head. You don’t feel quite ready to speak with Yoongi but you guess that you deserve to know the truth and the full story. He does owe you that, at least.
It does surprise you that Jungkook and Yoongi weren’t fighting anymore once you came back into the lobby. Instead, they are seated on the couch and talking quietly, even though it’s more like a whisper-yelling from Jungkook’s side. You don’t really know how to feel, you’re confused and hurt obviously, but you’re going to have to be the bigger person and actually wait for him to explain if he wants to. Taehyung is reaching to you through the bond and you feel slightly more confident. You’ve been overwhelmed with so many feelings that you had begun to think about things that were so far from being the truth. Your mind just kept on escalating until you’d felt like nothing. You’ll have to thank Taehyung for grounding you.
“Yoongi..?” You shyly ask as you make your way towards them - somehow afraid of the platinum blonde man. Biting your lip, you try to calm your anxiety down for at least the talk, but how could you without knowing how this day would end?
You could either end up being heartbroken or happier than ever with a new mate, and with the way he always treated you, you don’t really feel like you have another happy ending incoming. It feels more like the start of the end.
And besides, you thought about him only but Taehyung told you to think of yourself first: would you even accept him if he actually comes to tell you that he wants to pursue something with you?
Would you let in someone who is not afraid to put everyone’s safety in danger just for selfish reasons? You’re trying to push the thoughts far from you for now.
Live the moment and see what can happen: whatever happens, you’ll be able to say that you tried your best until the end.
“Y/N,” Yoongi sighs and looks over to Taehyung, worry written over both their faces. You were just about to speak when Jungkook chimes in.
“C’mon Tae, let them talk. I’ll explain everything to you.”
The youngest stands up and presses a soft kiss onto your cheek before taking his boyfriends hand and walks back into the locker room. He sends you one last wink, silently cheering for you and you smile quietly. What do you have to fear when whatever happens, you’ll always have your soulmates cheering for you?
Yoongi swipes his hair out of his face, exposing his stern eyebrows before looking at you. God, he feels like an asshole. He knows that, technically, he has been one, but he never thought it would come to the point that he would knowingly hurt his soulmate. He always hides behind the fact that he’s in love with Hoseok, but that didn’t give him the right to hurt you. He should have at least told you…
“Sit down, please.” His voice is rough, almost exhausted but also sounds… painful? Distressed?
Slowly, you take place next to him, trying not to touch his leg, trying not to touch him at all. You’re still confused if you want to have anything to do with him to be honest with yourself.
“I’m sorry.” You choke out, barely whispering as you lower your gaze, avoiding his cat-like eyes that are probably full on judging you right now.
Yoongi tilts his head to the side, watching you confused.
“Why? You couldn’t have known that this would happen, I couldn’t know - otherwise I wouldn’t be doing that job. I mean, I’m the one that should be apologizing in the first place. I should have handled everything differently, and the only thing that I can do now is to explain, but… Yeah, the thing is, I don’t believe in soulmates.” He quiets down for a short amount of time, creating a break between his words to gauge your reaction, but you don’t seem to be that surprised.
For some reason, it doesn’t sit well with him. He knows he has done enough damages but he wishes for a reaction rather than your expressionless face. “I don’t think that fate should be the one to select your forever and always, do you get what I mean? Of course, I’m pissed about the fact that I got mated to you, but it’s not you that makes me hate being mated. You have done nothing wrong and I’ve been taking my frustrations out on you, and I know it’s wrong but... It’s just… I’m in love with some fucking stupid red haired baker that loves to add too many star-sprinkles on top of cupcakes and…” It clicks too easily in your mind as those words leave his mouth. It doesn’t excuse him, but you finally understand why everything has been this way.
“You’re… You’re in love with Hobi...” You didn’t expect it yourself, but a big grin takes place on your face as you clap your hands excitedly. Just the fact that you finally understand what is going on is making you- not really happy but - something along the lines. Once more, Yoongi is confused, it’s not the reaction he thought he would get. Not at all.
“Yes, but… Shouldn’t you be mad or jealous or something? I mean, not that I expect you to be, I’ve been nothing but an ass to you, but, that’s how I felt once you got mated to Taehyung and Jungkook, even though it’s my own fault… If I hadn’t changed your appointment…”
He catches how your glance suddenly changes at this information. You don’t seem to be mad, nor surprised, but you’re acknowledging what he says, as if you had already considered this idea. “Anyways, I mean… Aren’t you mad that I don’t want to be your mate?”
You shrug your shoulders, not sure what to answer. It’s quite a dumb question. Of course you are. Of course you are hurt. It feels like you’re not good enough for him. But… You try to understand his side, and you're not sure how you would feel if you had been in love with someone for like, forever, and you suddenly have to accept and love someone else. It seems like something that you would have had a hard time carrying yourself, so who are you to judge him, or to be mad at him?
“It’s rude, I guess. It doesn’t make me feel like I’m the most wanted human on earth for sure. It kind of feels like I suck so much that my own soulmate doesn’t feel like they can care or love me. So, the question is kind of easy to answer, I’d rather say that it stings, but who am I to be mad at you? I see your point of view and I’ve already got four mates that are caring and loving - three more mates than I thought I’d have. I never thought that I would have more than one soulmate. I’m always surrounded with love when I’m with them, so I'd say that knowing that there’s another man running around with my tattoo - a tattoo that means so much to me - is just overwhelming, knowing that you don’t want me as a soulmate hurts, but I’ll get over it if that’s what you choose, we’ll just have to be careful with our health because I’m not putting my mates’ safety in danger for you own comfort. Maybe we are soulmates to understand things and not to live them together. It does happen sometimes. I do agree with you, fate shouldn’t be the one to decide - but in our case, fate is just suggesting who to choose, don’t you think so? You decided against choosing me and we are still alive. Besides, I don’t…,” You seem to hesitate for a second, “I don’t feel a bond between us and you probably don’t feel that either.”
You feel a bit bitter to lie like that. You didn’t feel it until today. Until you realized who he was to you. But you guess that you shouldn't try to make him change his decision.
“But I do.” Yoongi whispers, finally looking up from the hole in his jeans.
He tries to read you, but you’re not easily opening up anymore. He feels like it’s his fault, but he still sees that glimmer of hope inside of your eyes, and trustfully, it kills him, because he just wants to give in right now. Yoongi wants to be held, to be loved, anything.
He just wants to feel. If he doesn’t accept you, would he ever get another chance again? Would there be another human soul accepting his own broken one?
“I fucking do feel bonded to you, Y/N. That’s the problem. I don’t want to smile whenever I feel you around. I don’t want to feel happy when I see your smile. And I don’t want to suffer just because I see you kissing Taehyung or Jungkook - even if you smile at them instead of me, it hurts. I want to be loved, I want to love. But the only person that exists for me is Hoseok. I’ve loved him since I was 16, but fucking fate destroyed - I mean, not destroyed, wrong choice of words but - my chance of being mated to him disappeared for me that day. The man I’m in love with is mated to someone else, and now even I’m mated to someone else. How do you think it feels like to be rejected by the only person you’ve been interested in? And then there’s your soulmate, you’re supposed to love her, to be everything she’s waiting for, to care and be there for her and a month later she’s suddenly mated to four other men. What does the fabulous fate want me to do? Get into a polyamorous relationship with four men and one woman? Being not the third but the sixth wheel? I don’t think so.”
You nod, slowly understanding his issues because that’s how you felt just a few weeks ago. From your dreams of a soulmate that would be your one and unique love, to your new reality composed of four men, who are absolutely amazing, do not kid yourself but, it’s so different from anything you thought would happen. It took you some time to accept what was happening, to accept four men who you’re supposed to be a lost part of their soul.
You don’t really like the idea of being broken without your soulmates, but it feels just right when you’re with them. In a way, you understand why people came to say that. Because it’s so powerful that it’s hard to define it differently.
Just like how Yoongi said that fate destroyed his chances with Hobi.
You understand. Because it’s overwhelming, it’s new. It feels like no one can help you out. However, you have your soulmates. It’s been the five of you to get through it and to start your relationship. Yoongi on his side, he has no one to talk to.
So, honestly? You understand him, as weird as it sounds. Even you, at some point, think that it isn’t right, that you shouldn’t be so understanding: you should be mad. You even thought about rejecting him if he wanted to pursue anything with you after all of that but now all your anger seems to have faded away.
Yoongi was expecting it from you too. But no. You aren’t. You’re just glad that he finally decided to talk and to stop running away from you. You don’t want to prevent him from doing anything, you just want to be here for him, at least. He is not alone, and he will always be able to count on you. Maybe you’re meant to be soulmates in a… friendzone kind of way.
“I know, Yoongi. I get it, don’t worry. I mean, I probably should be mad, but I understand. I don’t want to force you into anything, you are your own person with your own belief and choices. I’m not your soulmate to berate you, or to be annoying or whatever. You’re just, not alone in this, you know? I don’t want you to feel like you have to do anything with me or to get involved with me- but don’t you think you deserve love? Because... I think you do. Maybe love is what you need to get rid over the thought of Hobi being out of your reach? You need love to start a life where you only care about what the future holds, someone that helps to pull you out of that dark place. Crying and being upset over his bond with Jin won’t make your life easier. It would actually be the other way around. Maybe you need to let go, Yoongi. And once again, I’m not asking you to accept us. I mean, we don’t even know if you’re meant to be with the four other men in my life, and I know that Jungkook and Taehyung might not be your types, I thought so too when I realized that Jimin and Namjoon were a part of this too, but I gave them a chance, and I think that one chance might change everything. You already know all of them and I think that it is safe to believe that your two coworkers are your closest friends by now. You trust them, you take care of them even though you might not want to accept that. The bond doesn’t feel like we are forced to love each other, okay? It just happened and I don’t regret it. But it’s your decision, Yoongi. And I won’t take it away from you, just know that if you ever decide to accept me, accept us, then-”
And then, he kisses you.
Yoongi kisses differently from what you would have expected. He wasn’t soft, shy or holding back anything. His kisses are hungry, frustrated and maybe a little bit aggressive.
This time, the bond didn’t feel like fireworks or butterflies in your stomach, it was more like an explosion full of bad energy that rushed over into your body.
Yoongi grabs your face, pulling you even closer and as you put your hands on his cheeks, you feel them. Tears are spilling out of his eyes, the feeling of being complete finally settling into your bodies. It is amazing how a simple action holds so many consequences and feelings. It feels like you did something amazing, while you just kissed.
Once Yoongi breaks the kiss, he pulls you onto his lap, hugging you tightly whilst his body still slightly shakes from being overwhelmed.
“It’s alright, Yoongi. We’re here, we’re together. You have all of us on your side,” you coo, trying to calm him down as you run your finger through his messy hair.
He’s not alone, he has never been but if he never realized it and you’re going to change that. He’s going to be loved and cherished as much as he lets you.
You’ll give him anything, you know it sounds desperate, but you feel so much for him. Goodness, he changed everything upside down in one kiss and one talk.
You kind of hate it, but at the same time, it feels right. Maybe Yoongi is in it to prove to you that fate doesn’t do it all. You have to fight for your mates too. You can’t be given everything, love and trust is something that you gain.
You’re starting to feel exhausted because of the ride you just did. You went from anger to pain, to despair, to anger again, to shyness, to compassion and finally you’re here, hugging your missing soulmate.
“I’m so fucking sorry,” Yoongi whispers, eyes still spilling tears onto your shirt. “I treated you like shit, yet here you are, ready to soothe my pain.”
“Don’t, Yoongi. That was the past. Now we’re here. The healing begins.” You smile soothingly as his arms wrap tightly around you. He keeps on letting apologies fall from his lips and you don’t think that he listens to you when you tell him to stop. He doesn’t need to apologize, you understand him. However, if he feels like he has to, you’ll let him. You’ll give him all the reassurances he needs to walk further with you.
Seconds later, Jungkook and Taehyung run back into the lobby, eyes wide and lips parted in shock. “What happened, Y/N? I just got a love boner and that wasn’t because Tae and I were basically-”
“Oh, fuck it, Jungkook,” Tae groans. Then, his eyes fall on you and Yoongi, still embraced in a tight hug.
“Fuck, you did it, love.” His smile was generous, heartwarming and you just know he isn’t mad about the fact that you decided to love one more person.
Quite the contrary, Taehyung is a perceptive man. He doesn’t really want to tell anyone, but he had known it. He knew it would end up like that, and he can’t wait for the time when you and all your soulmates will be able to be together and walk toward a better future. On the other side, Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows, disbelief visible in his eyes.
“Yoongi, the fuck? You just said that you would never want her, minutes later you’re having her on your lap? Wow.” You feel the jealousy that washes over Jungkook, the boy doesn’t like sharing you, you are his baby, his best friend and his mate. He was fine that you were being mated to his soulmates, but Yoongi doesn’t belong to him.
He doesn’t know if he would want him to be his as well, or if he’s just jealous that you give love to someone else, especially someone that just made you cry. Taehyung told him how he found you and Jungkook was not happy. Either way, he doesn’t like it too much.
“Jungkook,” you sigh as you press a chaste kiss on top of Yoongi’s hair before sitting down next to him, patting the free spot. “Can you guys sit down? We should probably talk.”
After all of you talked and came down from the emotional roller coaster, the atmosphere was much calmer.
“I’m not kissing any of you, just to make that clear.” Yoongi looks at the two men, scrunching his nose in disgust.
“I wouldn’t want to kiss you anyway.” Jungkook mumbles, earning a kick against his shin from you. “Stop it, Jungkook. You’re gay as fuck and Yoongi is good looking, of course you want to kiss him. I would,” Taehyung shrugs as he grins at the eldest.
“I’m not gay, I’m bi. There’s a difference, because I like boobies too.” Jungkook pouts, looking at you to help him, but you just laugh, shaking your head.
“You don’t have to kiss everyone, Jungkook, nor do you have to, Yoongi. It’s fine. Even though I’ve got to tell you that Taehyung is an amazing kisser. But maybe, one day it’ll happen. I didn’t kiss Jimin and Namjoon on the same day I kissed Taehyung and Jungkook either. But we have each other, and that’s what prevails.”
Yoongi hasn’t felt that complete in a long time, yet here he is: happy. And strangely enough, he can’t wait to see what the future will bring.

Hi!!! May I get a HP, Star Wars, Voltron, and Disney matchup?
𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 + 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘
19, Libra, Neutral Good, enneagram is 4w5, muggleborn Ravenclaw (with Gryffindor tendencies), and my patronus spirit is Hummingbird. Biromantic Pansexual Genderfluid woman using pronouns of She/Her or He/Him. Cherubic-like face, with short height (5'1") plus sized Southeast Asian woman with Spanish descent that has chic messy/wavy brunette medium hair that reaches to my shoulder, oriental skin, slightly upturned eyes, small lashes, chocolate brown irises, cute flat nose, heart shaped face, full cheeks, cupid's bow lips, a small beauty mark on the forehead, and naturally straight teeth with tiny gap in front (just imagine that it's a mixture of Marinette from 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝘆𝗯𝘂𝗴, Musa from 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘅 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, and Alexandra Trese from 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲---cause' my friend told me that I kinda look like them). My sense of fashion is in between emo and boyish plus korean glam, I sometimes let my hair down or styled like Lara Croft reboot.
𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬
Distant, quiet, and timid at first making people thought I'm a demure, modest, and self-effacing that looks "immaculate" or "one of a kind" (due to my protective mom, a reason why I've never been in a relationship) but the truth is, dunno how to initiate a conversation, but a total opposite if I open up---friendly, ambivert, witty, laughing loudly on a daily basis---like my happiness is too shallow, super talkative, eats a lot (yeah I can finish a huge slice of cake or a meal in one sitting), awkward, daydreamer (I got embarrassed from knocking at the door even I'm inside the classroom 😂), EXTREMELY CLUMSY (mostly gets bruises from hitting, bumping my head somewhere, walking into something on my way, and being careless to my belongings), secretly likes affection, easily overwhelmed, prone to melt over wholesomeness, flusters on compliments, lightly blushes on cheesy banters, eager to share what I know (especially about Catholic Church---my past teacher joked that I'll become a saint because of it 🤣), oftenly speaks full of sarcasm with a lowkey crackhead energy citing meme references, and talented girl who can be your no.1 supporter and unashamed to be true to myself but can be awkward to strangers. In terms of leadership, I only educate and guide than being a prefect (I might take the role seriously), will lift my group when there's lacking/incompleteness. About doing projects in school, I become too extra and prepared for efforts, but I'll forget the process in the end.
The extent, I'm expressive, warm-hearted, willig to help, kind, intelligent, supportive, nice, creative, enthusiastic, laid-back, determined, tough, competitive, and feisty outside, but a real softie that can be childish and dramatic that cries so easily (but will enlightened real quick by smallest things that makes me smile) filled with doubts, frustrations, and insecurities with fear of failure that pushes off the limits to to please everyone because they might get dissappointed from expectations---I simply can't stop proving myself too much because I'm a survivor of bullying. But I still managed to be stronger than ever after I stumbled, even it's a slow burn process. I can be blunt, intimidating, harsh, and a douchebag if I receive ends or I got interrupted while doing something. Immature, headstrong, perfectionist, demanding, hesitant, jumpy, forgetful, overthinker, quick-tempered, sensitive, and anxious (no joke, my nervousness makes me think worse scenario will arrive). Though can be procrastinator and arrogant, I raised as a religious 𝖺𝗇𝖽 diplomatic youth, willing to fight what I believe (including my dreams and what's important to me) and what is right. In addition, I have a habit of staying up late and doing sign of the cross to ease nervousness.
Rowdy and feeling-brokenhearted and bitter friend in the group who fangirl a lot, swears like sailor, will call out on people that we loathe, will make fun of your stupidity (in a good way) before helping, and bring gossips, but a hopeless romantic and cheeky (makes banter with sarcasms or pick up lines as an endearment, but gets annoyed if I received sappy or offensive one), Still generous and concerned person in a subtle and different way.
𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦
My hobbies are singing, drawing, roleplaying, listening to music, chatting/browsing on social media, conceptualizing, writing, and reading some stuffs. I'll include making corniest jokes/puns, sleeping, and dancing when nobody's around or walking like a model if I feel so bold (even I'm terrible at both xD). I also used to learn Italian language a bit.
𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦
Loves kittens, milk tea, singing at the karaoke, cartoons, iced coffee, memes, cute things, watching YouTube videos (mostly pageants, ASMR, edit audios, and mukbangs), also enjoys playing games on my sister's PSP. Sucker for arts, choir, poetry, night sky, makeup, fun/deep/dumb conversations, Christianity, documentaries (about saints, real crime stories, and inspirational people), reading interesting stuffs, talking about social issues, and creative writing, chilling both indoors and outdoors. Beside that, my music taste are like late 90s-2000s songs (mostly rock, pop, and country) sometimes Catholic songs, kpop and ppop, chocoholic, and a sweetooth as well.
𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦
Things that I hate are stereotyping, HUGE creepy crawlies (spiders, toads, snakes, and cockroaches), firecracker sounds, thunder and lightning, being left out, loneliness, heart break, blackout, and judgemental people. If I found out that someone hates or backstabbing or being rude to me, I won't hesitate to throw offensive criticisms, leaving them with a "I don't give a f" attitude. One random fact about me is, I 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 vent out EVERYTHING I despise in my entire existence---from bad soap operas to toxicity, worse scenarios in real life, and how terrible is my love life from unrequited feelings that I got, because it's a big deal for me, and I consider forcing me to do what I'm not into and manipulating me as my major pet peeves.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦
In terms of triggers...I only have two which are ta𝖨king about divorce/annullment/separation because I came from a generational broken family (it sucks that some people I knew assumed that the reason why I'm overly unaware that someone is interested in me in secret, is I have "high standards" looking for a partner, but the truth is I'm strict and I have a personal preferences...I know my worth and I don't want settle for less!) and religion/beliefs discrimination, cause' there are reasonings that doesn't makes sense because some, sounds too hypocritical, like as if you're a morally good person.
𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 + 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦
My love languages are quality time and gift giving, but I actually swoon over physical touch (especially cuddles and cute kisses) and words of affirmation when it comes to having a partner, though I get attracted so easily, matured but can be a goofy person who's nice, friendly, kind-hearted, loving, faithful, and excels in academics is my cup of tea. Whenever I have a real life crush (which is rare), I act the same but deep inside, my heart is about to explode and will eventually share to my trustful friends how I highly admire that person, however if they spilled the beans out, I'll obviously deny it and will cry if they like someone else, it will take some time for me to move on, now I don't care for them anymore.
Best Friends to Lovers is my ideal trope because I find it very cute since you already knew each other before dating (which happened to my 2nd cousin, she married her best friend!)---perfect balance for romance, laughters, comfort, and tears when it comes to sharing your vibes, being there through thick and thin, safe with embraces, and helping each other to grow.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔𝗦
My best assets are smile, eyes, personality, singing voice, artistic skills, writings, intelligence, oratorical skills and I have potential in hosting...so I can consider myself as a singer, artist, orator, speaker, and a top student who's a former active campus ministry member with three roles (choir leader, psalm singer, and reader).
May sounds different but I'm passionate for helping people through my talents and sharing my story to inspire everyone. I may look selfish, but I have a different way on how I show that I actually care also I have a biased sentimental value
Currently a college freshman, learning how to cook. I have so many interests, to the point I don't know what I'm into because of my dreams to become a popular Filipino YouTuber, a novelist, and being part of a successful chorale competing internationally...I also consider joining pageants at school too once the pandemic ends, but maybe.
HP: Remus!
- Remus is also quiet and a bit reserved when he's not in a familiar situation, so your own first impression on him would be a good one, as you'd seem similar to his own personality. He's sweet and is able to start up a conversation if he notices the other person is having a hard time doing so, so hopefully he'd be able to bring out your more extroverted and friendly self after a while so he can be around the more open you. He wouldn't mind you being a bit awkward-he's very much the same way-honestly, the comradery that would come from that would be more positive than anything else. He loves sharing knowledge and learning about new things, so your eagerness to talk about what you know would work really well also! He does a lot better when he knows someone has his back too, so your extra supportive nature would endear him to you as well.
SW: Han!
- Your nicer and more helpful personality would balance out Han's more standoffish vibes when first meeting. You might get on his nerves a bit first, but you'd quickly grown on him and, in turn, make him a bit of a better person. Your ability to be blunt and a bit harsh would serve you well if you ever needed to stand your ground on an issue that two of you have, as he can be quite stubborn.
VLD: Lance!
- Lance can be a bit immature from time to time as well, especially when it comes to trying to be funny or cheering up those around him-he's also headstrong and typically firm in what he wants to do, so your own determined personality would attract him to you a lot as well. He often puts off things he needs to do if they make him anxious too, but if you both recognize that you share that problem, helping each other might be a good solution!
Disney: Flynn!
- Flynn is quite a sarcastic and teasing person, so your own humor would match well with his. He's also quite a hopeless romantic as well, even though he's certainly not one to admit that right off the bat. He enjoys singing, and as he gets closer to someone he feels more comfortable doing so in front of them, so a partner he's been with for a long time would get to see him be more and more open with it. That also applies to activities like dancing.
