Astrology Observations- 50

Jupiter in the 8th house can be a really hard placement to have in the natal chart. Whatever Jupiter touches it expands so when in the 8th house that rules death, sex, rebirth, transformation ect all these are major components of your life. Could have a really intense life and go thru a lot of struggle young. I see a lot of people with this placement experience death at a very young age. Your blessings however come when you push through those dark and you come out so much stronger. Extremely emotional intelligent.

Venus in Scorpio is a common placement to see in exotic dancers

Scorpio risings I notice rarely delete photos on social media or in general. They are usually the people that keep up photos for years. Even if they have pictures with people they don’t interact with anymore (such as an ex). Very hard for these people to let go of the past.

Aquarius’s suns will either come off as one of the friendliest easygoing people you ever met or really stand offish and mean mugged.. no in between

Underdeveloped Virgo moons tend to pick on people a lot. They can try to highlight your insecurities on purpose. If not evolved they can have big mean girl energy.

The people I meet that I see usually have really long healthy relationships are Taurus suns and Cancer suns. (Especially when together!)

Gemini mars people are super impulsive. They require a lot of mental stimulation so the riskier the more exciting for them usually.

A lot of Gemini moons get famous for just recording themselves talking. A lot of influencers have a Gemini moon. You usually have a lot of things to say and are amazing at keeping up conversations which makes you very entertaining to listen to/watch. They communicate best when they just allow themselves to talk spontaneously without planning out what to say.

An Unevolved Pisces Mars is genuinely so scary! They can be so good at emotional manipulation. They are skilled in making others blame themselves for their mistakes. Big mastermind energy.

Pisces Mars I notice also really hate confrontation. They have a harder time speaking/standing up for themselves a lot. I feel like these people are the least likely to start/be in a physical altercation out of all the mars signs.

Mars in Aries/1st house people tend to be naturally toned/ athletic looking. Even if they don’t really work out that much they always look super cut for no reason.

Cancer and Sagittarius placements tend to put on weight very easily

Capricorn risings/Venus could’ve been told to eat more or that they look starved. A lot of people with this placement I notice tend to be very petite/boney naturally. The types that can eat all day and not gain a pound.

Pisces Venus men are either fairytale like romantic or they are extremely bare minimum and romantically clueless.

Aqua Venus’s hate people who are too clingy too soon. They will ghost you so fast. If you want to attract them just act nonchalant they won’t admit it by they are really into people who don’t express much interest.

Sag Venus’s are very experimental in love the types to try throuple or be swingers. I also notice the men are more into 🍒 than 🍑

I’ve seen a lot of Aqua moons be big in the closet gays (my experience not all Aqua moons ofc)

Taurus mars/venus take a really long time to decide if they want a relationship with you they will put it off for so long until they are completely sure. This can be extremely annoying to more fast paced types. They tend to wait too long to the point they miss their opportunity to be with the person they really wanna be with:( but once they become sure they’re in it for the longest haul. Will be the most loyal partner.

Scorpio moons are very easily embarrassed especially when it comes to how they feel. They tend to take things very personally due to their sensitivity which is why most choose not to open up.

Unevolved Libra moons are the type to sleep with their best friend’s boyfriend or try to flirt with them. (Example ; Alabama Barker)

Uranus in the 5th house natives have such a quirky sense of humor. They tend to usually be hilarious and have people cracking up. The most random shit comes out of their mouths. You never know what they’re going to say 😂

Virgo risings hate being late to things. The types to come 10 minutes early to work. They also tend to get anxious when their environment is a mess I notice.

A lot of Lilith in Pisces men tend to have a foot fetish. Lilith ruling kinks & Pisces ruling the feet. They also tend to like fat on a woman or like their women to be more plump and curvy over petite.

Libra placements have a big emphasis on their teeth/smile. Could have big teeth that stand out or an amazing smile.

Gemini placements tend to be amazing singers and have good pitch naturally (especially if you have a lot of second house placements).

Sorry for being MIA for awhile had to take some time to myself to deal with my mental health but I’m going to continue posting more since I’ve been feeling a lot better🫶🏽🥹🩵

Everybody's Favourite (Part 1)

Everything turned upside-down when the principal pulled you out of class when you were seven years old. You'd been colouring nicely when she came in.

"Y/N, I'd like to talk to you," she said. "Could you come with me?"

"Have I done something wrong?" you asked.

"No, dear. Just get your stuff."

You collected your things and went with her, where a police officer was waiting. "Here's Y/N, officer," she said to him. That was when you learned, in a haze of horror, that your dear mother had died while you were colouring in class without a care in the world. Car accident.

"Not to worry, she made arrangements as to who would look after you in the event of this happening," the police officer said. "Your biological father . . . Bruce Wayne."

So off you went to your new home, away from your friends and old neighbourhood and everything you'd ever known, and towards the figure known as Bruce Wayne.

The first thing you noticed about your father was that he was, obviously, very rich. All his cars were the fancy ones you used to stare at with your mom when you would walk together.

When you arrived, you had all sorts of questions for your father. "How did you meet my mother? Why didn't you talk to me before this? Did you like spending time with her?"

"I'm rather busy, Y/N. I'll show you to your room," Bruce said, escorting you to a guest bedroom. "We can decorate it later."

Later never came.

After a few weeks, you met his other kids, Dick, Jason, Tim, Barbara, Cass, and Stephanie. They all looked so cool, like teenagers from a movie. But they always had to 'do stuff'.

"What kind of stuff?" you asked.

"They're a part of scholarships for gifted students," Bruce said, before any of them could say anything. "I happen to be privately tutoring them."

"Oh. So you spend time with them because they're talented?"

"You could put it that way."

That revelation lit a fire underneath you. If your father wanted talented kids, then you would have to be a talented kid.

In everything you could get your hands on.

You became a polyglot, devouring different languages like nobody's business. You took part in gymnastics, just like Dick, and also track. You got straight As in everything, forcing yourself to study night after night. You read the same classic books Jason loved so you could (hopefully) have something to bond with him over. You took some coding classes so you had something to talk about with Tim.

Alfred became a consistent source of comfort, bringing you food and making sure that you didn't over work yourself. He came to every event you had, loyally videotaping it for future viewing.

Nobody cared to look at the tapes. Nobody watched you collect your awards for fastest times, or graduate early as valedictorian. Nobody listened to your headmaster sing your praises as he listed your various scholastic accomplishments.

Damian was the worst. The moment he met you, it was clear that he would hate you until he died. He looked at you with such disgust, such contempt for your existence. Once, he cornered you with a katana that he held so close to your neck that you were cut. Another time, he sicced Titus onto you, leading to a nasty bite mark on your arms when you put them up to defend yourself.

"Titus mauling you would have been an improvement to the Wayne bloodline," he sneered, as you bawled your eyes out. "When are you going to get it through your simple-minded skull that we don't care what happens to you? It's annoying to hear you chatter to us and make conversation about being head of your class and breaking sports records. We all scoff about it when we're on patrol."

Your throat went dry. "Patrol?"

"Of course. Father, Dick, Jason, Stephanie, and myself all have our own alter egos. I am by my father's side cleaning the streets of scumbags as Batman and Robin while you are trying to be top of your stupid little class." He punched you in the stomach, hard. "Honestly, it's a relief to get away from you and your nauseating neediness."

Alfred came to console you after the fact, but he wouldn't hear a word against Damian for hurting you, or Bruce for letting it happen. "Master Damian has had a . . . difficult life, Y/N," he said. "And Bruce's childhood was by no means easy."

You gave up on your family after that. Nobody really wanted you, and Damian actively hated you.

You were nobody's favourite.

#NEED THAT.

Your brother had originally planed a hang out with his friends in the living room, but- something came up and he had to bail. with them still in the house. Issue? They're hot.

RELATIONSHIP(S): Gojo x Reader, Suguru x Reader, Elements of Suguru x Satoru. They def be fuckin. Satosugu x reader, yeah.

CW: Suggestive, but NSFW cussing (duh), Big Brothers best friend(s) trope. no actual fucking happens... yet. Still NSFW

Yap: I channeled my own personality into this MY BADDD-

Damn….DAMN. you were going fucking insane in your room right now. Batshit.

Your dipshit brother brought his fine ass friends over and ain’t say SHIT.

Now you out here lookin’ crazy, shorts riding up, hair all types o’ fucked from that good ass nap you just took, and hungry as shit.

Problem. 

They’re in the living room, and you refuse to walk in that bitch until EVERYBODY is gone. Point blank period.

Second problem. Satoru and Suguru don’t plan on leaving, and Satoru knows you’re here. Shit.

Ugh, just look at the cocky motherfucker. Manspreading to the MAX on your new couch, the one you helped your godforsaken mother who stood there for hours deciding on what shade of the same damn color to buy- bless her heart. And he’s manspreading, dick to the world- on it.

And damn if he didn’t look so fine doin’ it. 

Oh, Satoru pisses you off BAD.

And god forbid somebody get you started on Suguru, fucking dick head. And he KNOW IT TOO.

Long ass leg kicked over the other, stupid head leaning on his hand. Elbow on that damn couch. 

He looked uncaring constantly to the things going on around him if it didn’t concern Satoru- but you knew. Oh, you knew just how much he ate up whenever Satoru managed to get under your skin- which was way too easy to do.

Asshole would just sit back and smile like you’re not about to put your whole foot up his bestfriends ass. Suguru didn’t need to say a damn thing to piss you off the way Satoru did, he just does!

So, both of them together? In your home? Brother done ran out for a quick minute, god knows how long a ‘minute’ is to him, fucker would disappear for 3 hours and say he was just 10 seconds.

Hell no.

But fuck, that post-nap hunger was hitting, and it was peeling away at your resolve. BUT! Your resolve is not stronger than your need to eat, so that’s tough.

Fuck your resolve, if a bitch is hungry, she will eat- so you took your happy ass to your kitchen. Or- you tried to.

Not even a step into the living room before those eerie ass blue eyes snapped into your direction and a stupid lazy grin made its way onto his stupid face. Fuck.

“Ohoho-! And look who decided to wake up- suguru, look. Told you she’d show..”

The fucker said it like he knew from the beginning that you’d crack and show your face. Damn it why is that definitely what he’s thinking.

Suguru looked up from his phone slowly, and as he laid his low eyes onto you his eyebrows raised in exaggerated shock. “And here I thought you’d finally snapped and started hallucinating, she’s really here.”

Though, his tone said that he’d also always known you were there, not only Satoru.

Fuck, they BOTH came here knowing you were home. That’s… genuinely so annoying of them.

“What, I can't live in my own house?”

Satoru seemed to think on your rhetorical question and he made a whole show of it.

“Not if I have anything to say about it, which I do.”

This idiot ALWAYS has something to say, always running his mouth- yap yap yap! Like a damn broken record. Fuck, why was he dressed like that?

“Unsurprising. Well- i was hungry, so.. I'm gonna go.”

You made a step towards the kitchen, so close in your grasp.. So fucking close. But Suguru had to remind you that he was here too. Damn it.

“I like your outfit. Just hopped outta bed?”

Said outfit being shorts that had your ass hanging out, a stupid band shirt with the collar cut off, and calf socks with Garfield plastered on them. Maybe he liked your socks. he better because the bitches were 15 dollars at Spencers.

But- you didn’t even get to answer before Thing 2 was talking.

“C’mon- sit down.. Right here. Said you’re hungry, yeah? We ordered out. Sit and have some.”

Pizza, 3 whole boxes of it- who the hell needed 3 whole boxes of pizza. One of each for Dumb, Dumber and dumbest? Speaking of Dumbest, your brother been out for MIGHTY long, the fucker probably got caught up in a party, and most likely won’t be back until 4AM when you’re woken up by shit hitting the ground because he cant walk straight.

“It’s just pizza, sweetness- s’not gonna bite you.”

Fuckin’ Satoru, ugh.

 “That’s not- bitc- ugh. Nevermind, move over.”

So, now you’re stuck in between both Satoru and Suguru on the Couch that in another timeline, is a different shade of the same damn color (You really need to get over that.), pizza box in your lap despite criticizing them for need a whole one, and you’re kind of not mad at this.. Shit.

You’ve already eaten 2 slices, and debating eating 2 more- hey, gotta keep the ass fat somehow.

But you decide against it for your poor stomach later, and put the box back on the table. As you lean forward to set the box down, Satoru finally speaks after about 12 minutes. (longest he’s ever gone, you bet.)

“Y’know you’re right suguru- really nice outfit. Like it.. It’s.. nice to look at.”

Suguru hummed in agreement to this, 

“Right? I told you- I have an eye for these things ‘Toru.” The smirk in his voice is unmistakable.

They were not talking about your ass as if you were not there. No way.

“An eye for sure, almost can’t look away, yeah?”

“Can’t, no.”

They so were. For fucks sake.

“Oh, you’re both ridiculous. Is my ass tonight's talking point? Really?”

Satoru held his hands in the air in mock self defense 

“You’re the one with your ass out in a room of two guys who aren’t blind.”

You huff out an exasperated breath at him and look to suguru for a bit of support, you don’t know why because he has a history of letting his little yapping dog do whatever the hell he wanted. All you receive from him is a shrug and words of agreement.

“He’s right, we have eyes, y’know.”

Ugh, he’s never any fucking help. And he loves it.

“Whatever. Not like you guys would do anything. More ass than you know what to do with.”

You mumbled it just to be messy, you didn't wanna outright call them virgins cause… c'mon. They fuck. HAVE to be.

The air in the room definitely changed after that slick comment.

Satoru went quiet and his eyes slid over to Suguru, a silent conversation. A verdict. They seemed to have both reached the same one, because Suguru shook his head with a laugh and leaned back into the couch.

“Yeah?”

You sat down cautiously, the energy was weird now, like an inside joke you weren’t privy to… hm.

“..yeah, why? I’m not gonna take it back, either.”

To them, that sounded like a ‘Make me take it back.’, and they took it as such with way too much glee.

“Hear that, Guru? Little thing thinks were baseless virgins who can’t handle a bit of ass, funny, hm?”

“Hilarious, say.. Toru- now that i think about it.. We just might be a bit out of practice.”

Suguru always knew how to get a party started. That’s what Satoru liked about him- among other things..

“Crazy- i was thinking the same thing..! Why not warm up?”

Ok. what the hell were they talking about, and why were they being slick about it. Lord, they pissed you off BAD.

“What.. the hell are you guys talking about?” Came your slightly nervous reply.

“Well would you look at that- a volunteer.”

Volun- who the hell- VOLUNTEER? 

Oh. OH. 

You may not make it out alive if this was what you fantasized about every night. Yeah0 the pissed you off constantly- but you weren’t blind. They were fine. Way too fucking pretty for their own good, and you got to be around them 24/7. Safe to say- they were a NEED, not a want.

Satoru looked down at you and dropped his little act, moving impossible closer to you, his chest to your side as you sat on the couch. He got low and into your ear whispering so close you could confuse it for a voice inside your head.

“Or can she not handle it..?”

Oh. You need that.

PAIRING: jeongin x makeup artist!reader

GENRE: angst to fluff

WC: 4.5k

CW: heartbreak (get your tissues ready)

SUMMARY: a misunderstanding leads what you thought could be the love of your life to the possible loss of your life

“don’t you think i’m cute?” jeongin asked you while you did his makeup

“i think you’re annoying” you replied

“annoyingly cute?”

“no, just annoying”

he buffed at that while lee know and seungmin laughed at your response. you first met the boys three or four years ago when you started as their makeup artist but they had become your best friends now. almost like family. working together for so long, so many hours, and the constant travelling made you find a home away from home in them.

“jeongin stop moving or i’m going to poke your eye with this” you threatened him

“you said i’m annoying so i’m just acting accordingly”

you rolled your eyes so hard they almost disappeared. you loved all of the boys, you really did, but some days they could be a pain in the ass. especially jeongin. that could also be because he was your best friend so he knew which bottoms he had to push to annoy you. just like he was doing today. you swore if he didn’t stop with whatever game he was playing today you were going to-

“iyen-ah, come on, stop it. we don’t have a lot of time and y/n has to do my makeup too” thank god for hyunjin

“thanks for the warning mate” now it was jeongin’s turn to roll his eyes.

you laughed having won this battle, but you knew there would be another one. there was always a new one. but that was how your friendship had always been. easy banter.

the first time you met jeongin, not gonna lie, you didn’t get on really well. not that you hated the guy, it was just that you two were different. opposites. that shouldn’t have worked well. however, you later found out that, underneath all his quick-witted and loud persona, there was a boy who was incredibly patient, sweet and would always listen whenever you needed him. so, slowly, you started to become friends until you became inseparable.

jeongin stood up from the chair he was sitting on - so hyunjin could take his place now - but even then, he didn’t go too far, he sat down in the sofa that was right behind the makeup chair.

the three of you chatted while you did hyunjin’s make up, later adding lee know and chan to the conversation. once they were all ready, you wished them good luck and watched them go to the designated area in which they would shoot their new music video.

the boys would have different looks throughout the video, so while they shoot their parts with their first looks, you got everything you would later need for their following look. when you finished, you went to the set to see the boys recording. they looked a bit exhausted but you could also see how happy they were. they had worked so hard for everything they had achieved and you couldn’t help but feel nothing but proudness.

after the director yelled cut, the boys got ready to go backstage to prepare for the second and final look of the day. you went backstage with other people from the staff and talked about how beautiful the set looked and how excited you all were with the boys’ latest comeback.

lee know was the first to put his second outfit on, so you did his makeup first this time. you asked him if the kitchen at his and han’s dorm was ready and he told you that it would be ready the following week. you had been begging him to bake you your favourite dessert for months and finally there was not long to go now. after lee know, felix and seungmin came, both of them telling you about their games nights at their dorm and how the only music they listened to now was the animal crossing song or something.

“your favourite star is here and he’s ready to have his face made a piece of art by his favourite artist in the world” kind, funny and a little extra, that was changbin for you

“oh aren’t i lucky to have you here this lovely evening?” you replied sarcastically

“oi! not the sarcasm dripping from your voice, i’m sure everyone on set noticed it” he winced dramatically

“it’s not slander if it’s true”

he sticked his tongue out at you and you laughed at him. you loved all the boys equally, but after jeongin, changbin would probably be the one you are the closest to. you instantly hit it off, from the moment you first met. you were like siblings at this point. so the playful banter between the two of you meant no harm.

the two of you chatted while you did his makeup, he would try to tickle you, you would threaten him with poking him in the eye or something.

“come on admit it, i’m your favourite”

“that depends on the day” you told him while concentrating on his makeup

“i’m the most handsome and the smartest”

“says who?” you heard han saying when he passed by and happened to hear you conversation

you laughed at his reply while changbin tried to hit him, but then you looked up and felt everything stop. jeongin had just entered the room and you felt the air leaving your lungs - you made a mental note to thank whoever had decided their outfits for this new video.

even though you had tried to deny it for a long time, you couldn’t try to hide the obvious anymore. you had fallen in love with jeongin. at some point, between your playful banter, jokes, early mornings on set, late night take outs, coffees at the airport between flights. in the midst of it all, you had fallen in love with your best friend.

you had tried to keep it a secret because:

1. you didn’t think he would ever return your feelings, so you wanted to save yourself from pitiful glances and unnecessary explanations

2. in the rare, strange case that there was even a small possibility that he returned your feelings, you working together could make things difficult, you didn’t want people to think that you were there for your connections or, even worse, that you were dating him to not lose your job - deep down you knew nobody would ever think that, but you were still afraid

“earth to y/n, hello, still with me?” you were so lost in your thoughts that you hadn’t even realised that changbin was talking to you

“yes, sorry” you smiled and went back to finish his makeup

he looked in the mirror, trying to see what had mad you so lost in your own thoughts. and that’s when he saw him.

“you okay?” he didn’t have to say anything else, you understood everything

“i’m good” you tried to smile, but it didn’t reach your eyes and he could see it

you really had tried to keep your feelings for jeongin a secret, keyword being tried. one night after having a work dinner, changbin drove you home and you don’t remember how it started or what you were talking about, but you told him everything. your feelings for jeongin. your fear of it not being returned. your fears of it being returned and what it implied. that night you cried in changbin’s arms. you cried for yourself for different reasons. for your fear of not being enough for him. for the both of you not having met in different circumstances. for your heart, because even if it hurt this much, you would choose loving him every chance you had.

changbin could see that you were getting lost in your mind again. he didn’t need you telling him what you were thinking, he already knew. you both had talked about this many times after that night. he didn’t want to see you down at that moment, you didn’t need to go through all that right there. if you wanted to talk about it again, he would listen, but later, when it was just you and him and you could cry and talk and cry some more without the fear of being heard or seen by others.

so he did what any other friend would have done in that situation. he tried to make you laugh. and he succeeded. you laughed until you had tears rolling down your cheeks and your stomach hurt so much that you had to tell him to stop.

you were blissfully unaware of the pair of eyes that was watching you from afar, shooting daggers with his eyes. jeongin was seeing everything, feeling something inside him that he couldn’t quite name yet. something close to insecurity, fear, jealousy. he didn’t understand where all of this was coming from, he only knew he didn’t like it.

when it was his turn to get his makeup done, he was a total different person from the jeongin you had seen that morning. you tried to joke with him, he would laugh almost forced. you tried to start small talk, he replied shortly.

“jeongin, are you okay?”

“i’m fine, just tired”

“are you sure?”

“yes”

you didn’t push him. it was clear that he didn’t want to talk, so you left him be. as soon as you had finished his makeup, he stood up and left the room. you didn’t have time to go after him because as soon as he was gone, chan was there, with a big smile on his face, waiting to get his makeup done. he talked with you while you did it and while you appreciated the distraction, a small part of your mind was on jeongin and what may have happened.

~

today was an early morning too. after shooting the scenes with the second look the day before, the director said that everyone could go home and they would take it from there the next day. when you had gone backstage to pack everything and leave, jeongin had kept his distance from you. if you were in one side of the room, he made sure he was on the other side. you looked at changbin, only to find him already looking at jeongin. he looked as confused as you did, he didn’t know why jeongin was behaving like that. when jeongin finished, he left the room. he didn’t even look back. he didn’t wait for you like he always did. so with a sigh and a heavy heart, you left the room.

you hoped that today things would go back to normal. that jeongin would tell you that he had had a long day and that he was sorry for behaving like that. that he would apologise and you two would go to your playful banter and jokes. oh how wrong you were.

today was even worse. in the small and short occasions that you had to try and talk with him while you did his makeup after changing looks, he would only reply with monosyllabic words or with no words at all, just shaking his head or shrugging his shoulders.

when all of the boys were on set shooting the video, you didn’t accompany them. you didn’t want to. instead you stayed backstage, wondering what could have happened that made jeongin act this way. so unlike him, so strange, so heartbreaking.

you went through every conversation you had the day before, trying to think if you had said anything that could have hurt him. you didn’t think that had happened, and even if it had, the two of you were close enough to say whenever the other did or said something that hurt or annoyed you. you didn’t see anything weird between the boys yesterday. the shoot went well. what couldn’t you see?

you had packed all your things when the boys came back, having finished the shoot. all of them packed their things and got ready to leave. jeongin was ready to be the first to leave the room again, but you stopped him before he could.

“jeongin, can we talk for a minute?” you asked him while you grabbed his wrist in an attempt to stop him from leaving, to make him stay with you

“y/n i’m tired, can we do this other time please?” he didn’t even looked you in the eye

“i just wanted to know if there was something wrong with you, you’ve been different these couple of days”

“nothing’s wrong, i told you i’m tired that’s all”

“okay” you slowly left his wrist go

he looked at you and you couldn’t recognise his eyes. the shiny, bright eyes that you had fallen in love with were not there anymore. you couldn’t see them. something was breaking inside them and whatever it was, you could feel it breaking inside you too. he turned around and left, no more words were shared between the two of you. the silence was piercing, you could only hear your own heartbeat and your mind screaming, saying that whatever that was happening to him was your fault. and there was no way back.

changbin had seen everything that had happened between the two of you. like you, he couldn’t understand what was happening, but he could see that two of his best friends were hurting inside. that to everyone else they seemed fine, but they inner selves were screaming to be rescued, and he was the only person that could hear them.

~

days turned into weeks and weeks into a month. the situation with jeongin had got worse. a lot worse. after the boys shot the video, they had a couple of days off before they started with promo activities and such. you thought those days off would be good for him and on the second day you sent him a message “hey, i’m just checking in to see if you’re resting. don’t forget to eat and sleep as much as you can before all of this takes off again!”. he didn’t reply. not even a quick “thank you” or “you too”. nothing. he left you on seen.

when you saw each other again, things were even worse. the first days he wouldn’t talk to you. by now, he won’t even look at you. the boys had noticed this. of course they had, this wasn’t normal. everyone could tell something was going on. something was extremely wrong. while you tried to be brave a put a mask on, there was one person that could see right through you.

changbin.

countless nights you had called him, crying, wondering what had happened between jeongin and you. countless nights he had driven you home and stayed with you in the car while talking about everything that had happened on set. again and again. you couldn’t come up with anything. jeongin was behaving as usual with everyone else but you, so you must be the problem.

“i just don’t understand, changbin, one minute he was fine and then… this”

“i don’t understand either y/n, none of the boys do”

“what did i do wrong?”

“y/n don’t blame yourself for this, you did nothing wrong i’ve told you this”

“but changbin it makes no sense why he’s behaving like i don’t even exist, like he would rather turn himself into a worm rather than be anywhere close to me or even talk to me” you told him through tears. you had been over this a million times and you still couldn’t understand what was happening. why your best friend had gone from being next to you all the day, to pretending that you didn’t even exist. that he would rather not know you at all.

“i know you probably don’t want to hear this, but i think you should try to talk to him about this”

“and you don’t think i haven’t tried that changbin? i tried thousands of times when he started to behave like this, but i just can’t do this anymore. the way he won’t even look at me, the way he will pretend i don’t exist, i just… i can’t do this anymore”

that’s when you broke. completely. changbin could see everything. the exhaustion. the tiredness. the pieces of your broken heart that had been scattered everywhere. and at that moment, he was the only one trying to pick them up, but he wasn’t the one that could put them back together again.

~

it had been almost two weeks since that night. the boys had gone back to recording after the promo ended, so you were not needed for a while. and while you tried to, you didn’t leave your house. you didn’t feel strong enough to do it. each time any of the boys - minus jeongin - sent you a message to meet up with them - “we’re having dinner at felix and seungmin’s dorm”, “”we’re going to the cinema”, “we’re having a game night”- you would reply saying you couldn’t meet them, using whatever excuse you had come up with that day.

the only one who knew that you were lying was changbin. he had gone to your house one day after you had replied chan telling him you couldn’t go to watch a movie at their dorm because your friend was in town and you were going to see a musical. changbin knew you had been lying all along and while he wasn’t completely happy with that, he could understand why you were doing it.

“you can’t stay like this forever y/n, you need to go on with your life”

“i know, but i feel like i can’t” you told him honestly

“you can do it, and i’m going to be with you, every step of the way. i know it may not seem like it right now, but i’m sure everything will go back to normal”

“how can you know?” you told him with a sad look on your face, he couldn’t dare to see you like this anymore

“i just know” he told you while holding your hand. because, deep down, he thought he already knew what was going on. and he was going to make sure it stopped now.

~

the next morning you found yourself in café near your house after changbin had texted you earlier telling you to meet him there in an hour - “no excuses, if you don’t come i will go to your house and drag you there myself”. you appreciated his efforts, you really did. you were really lucky to have him in your life.

you were waiting for him, checking your messages when you heard a voice saying your name. not changbin’s voice. jeongin’s voice.

“y/n”

you looked up and saw jeongin there, standing there next to your table. his eyes were bloodshot. his cheeks red, like he had run a marathon. you didn’t know what was going on. why was he here? where was changbin?

“jeongin what are you doing here?”

“i’m here to see you”

“how did you know i was here?”

“changbin”

at that moment you understood everything. you weren’t meeting changbin. you never were. he had made you go to the café to meet jeongin.

“can i sit here, please?” he asked you nervously

you nodded your head and he sat down. you couldn’t recognise the person that was in front of you. you couldn’t recognise yourself neither. the two people that were sat at that table were very different from the people you two used to be. you wanted to felt your heart breaking one more time.

“y/n i wanted to tell you how sorry i am for the way i’ve behaved this past month”

“apologise?” you didn’t know how to feel

“yes, i know you didn’t deserve how i treated you and for that i’m really sorry and i will never do it again and i-“ you cut him off

“jeongin, do you even know how i have felt this past month?” you were furious

“y/n i-“

“no jeongin, you don’t get to treat me the way that you’ve done and now come here, say how sorry you are, and expect me to accept it and run straight to you and go back to how things were. that’s not how this works” even though you wanted to do exactly that, he had hurt you. a lot. and he needed to know that

“y/n i don’t expect any of that, i truly don’t, because i’m extremely aware of the awful way that i’ve treated you and how hurt you must have been”

“really? how can you be so sure?”

“because i’ve felt the exact same way” he almost shouted. not at you, just out of frustration. and you could see it in his eyes, that he had been hurting too. it wasn’t enough to completely forgive him, but it was a start.

“then why did you treat me that way?”

“because i’m in love with you!”

time stopped. you felt your breathing stop. you saw his eyes getting bigger when he realised what he had said. you were completely lost, you didn’t understand what was happening.

“you what?”

“please, listen to me, let me explain. i will tell you everything and if after hearing it you don’t want to do anything with me, i will leave. but please just, give me an opportunity”

he took your silence as a sign to continue

“the first day when we shot the video, after we changed our outfits the second time, i went so you could do my makeup and saw you and changbin hyung talking and laughing and you looked so happy. and i wasn’t the person making you smile like that. at that time i didn’t understand why i suddenly felt so small and insecure, but now i do. i was jealous but i didn’t know because that was the first time that that happened. and i was angry at myself for feeling that way and not knowing what was happening or why i was feeling like that. i wasn’t angry at you, i never was. but instead of talking with you about it, or with any of the members, i kept it to myself but it only got worse. i now understand what was going on, that i am in love with you, but i thought you wouldn’t feel the same about me, so i distanced myself. and i knew it was going to hurt me, but i thought it would be better for you. had i known i was going to hurt you like that, i wouldn’t have done it y/n please, you have to believe me” he had tears in his eyes, yours had too

“how could you think that distancing yourself from me wasn’t going to hurt me?” you couldn’t help the tears that fell from your eyes

“i know, i was stupid i can see it now, but i wasn’t thinking, i was just trying to make it day by day. i never wanted to hurt you”

“you hurt me a lot, but i believe you” because you did, he may have hurt you and it was going to take time to forget everything that had happened, but you honestly thought he didn’t do it with bad intentions

“jeongin i don’t know what to say i-“

“you don’t have to say anything. i just wanted to give you an explanation, you deserved that. and i know you may not feel the same way and i promise this won’t change anything if you don’t, but i wanted you to know that i’m in love with you, i need you to know that” the look he gave you was a mix of fear and hope, of the possibility of risking everything you had or starting something new together

you could’t keep it a secret anymore. not when you had been so close to losing him once. not when you had almost known what it’s life without him

“i’m in love with you too”

“what?” he was genuinely surprised

“jeongin i’ve been in love with you for months, but i never said anything in case you didn’t feel the same or we could complicate things”

he was the one crying now. tears of happiness that mimicked your own. tears that sealed a new beginning for the both of you

~

“i can’t believe you were jealous of changbin” you laughed while you walked out of the café

“i know, you should have seen him last night when he came to our dorm after he left your house and i explained him everything. i’d never seen him so angry! but after i told him what was going on in my mind, he understood. i mean, he wasn’t happy with how i had treated you - and he’s right about that - but he could see why i had behaved like this”

after confessing your feelings for each other, you talked about how to go from there. you told him that it would take time to get you to trust him completely again, and he promised to give you all the time you needed. you also talked about your feelings and what this implied. you didn’t want to be just friends anymore, so you would take things slowly and communicate everything that you felt was necessary to avoid any unwanted situations like the one that had led you to this place. it may have been a happy ending, but the road had been anything but that.

while you were walking along the street, his shoulder was brushing yours every few steps. you caught him glancing down at your hand a few times. you laughed at that.

“you okay?”

“yes, okay, i’m fine, totally fine” he replied while opening and closing his hand, not knowing what to do with it

you decided to choose for him and took his hand with yours. he looked at you surprised. you kept walking, smirking like nothing had happened.

“i’m really happy right now y/n” he told you honestly

“me too” you replied while looking at him

he stopped you and looked at you. your faces were extremely close. none of you moved for a moment. until he did.

he kissed you. it wasn’t rushed or fast. it was slow. sweet. showing you how much he had kept to himself all this time. how relieved he was you were here. how sorry he was for everything he had put you through. how hopeful he was for you future together.

your lips were saying the same thing. how scared you had been without him. how lucky you felt to be on his arms again. how ready you were to fall into him completely.

you pulled apart. then the both of you smiled. the kind of smile that hurts your cheeks but makes everything else feel small. the kind that is bright and hopeful. you leaned into him. he opened his arms. and somewhere between the past heartbreak and the hopeful future, you knew you would be okay.

Love Language

Genre: Fluff

Pairing: Hong Eunchae x Baemon8thmember!fem reader

Warnings: Jealousy Cuddling, lots of kissing, protective Ssamkura.

Sypnosis: Fearnots, and basically everyone in the industry, knew Eunchae didn't exactly love physical touch. So why is her love language towards you skinship?

Appearing on Eunchae's star diary wasn't for the weak, mostly because if you were older than her, you wouldn't hear the end of it, but for you, it was the lingering glances when your member was talking and the unnecessary touches.

"Let's introduce today's guests" Eunchae's voice beams from inside the room as the director opens the door and you step in with Ruka behind you. "Babymonster's oldest duo, Kawai Ruka and Y/N" She claps as she stands up and bows.

You and Ruka reciprocate the bow as all three of you sit down, you sit on the side closest to Eunchae. She starts by asking Ruka a question on being the oldest-blah blah blah- you aren't really listening until she places her hand on your shoulder to snap you out of your thoughts.

"Y/N-ssi, how does it feel to finally be in the 20's" She asks, you 20th birthday hadn't been too long ago, and Eunchae always teases you about being the younger in the relationship, knowing damn well if you say something about her being old you'll receive the cold shoulder for God knows how long.

"It feels normal I guess, there isn't really much change, except now I can do more mature concepts more comfortably" You say, as her hand rubs up and down from your shoulder to elbow then back up. You don't ignore it, of course you can't that's your girlfriend, but you don't address it verbally for obvious reason, just giving her a small glance makes her draw her hand away, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly as if holding back a smirk.

Ruka catches on to what's happening and elbow you in the side which causes you to side eye her and slap her leg. She laughs before Eunchae interrupts you and Ruka's interaction with another question directed towards Ruka.

You look at Ruka as she answers the question, but feel eyes burning into the side of your head, which makes you turn your head slightly to be met with Eunchae starring daggers into you.

After about 9 more grueling minutes of answering questions and Eunchae making you feel like a pebble under her glare, the recording for Eunchae's star diary concludes and you're finally able to breathe without the weight of the cameras, but it that feeling is short lived as Eunchae grabs you and drags you to a more private room.

"What was all that about?" She asks, staring you down as she traps you against the door, her hand next to your head. "What was what about?" You ask, a bit startled and very confused. "The whole damn thing with Ruka, putting your hand on her leg? Giving her all the attention in the world like she's your girlfreind" She grumbles, her face inching closer to yours.

"Love it was noth-" She cuts you off with a kiss, her right hand hooking around your waist and pulling you closer to her. The kiss gets deeper, more aggressive as her tongue finds it's way into your mouth.

"Eunch-" You try to break the kiss but she pulls you back into the kiss, the only thing that stops her is a knock on the door and two voices, one which sounds like Ruka and the other like Sakura. She pulls away and gives a one last lingering look before letting go of you and fixing her lipstick.

You also fix your smugged lipstick right before Eunchae opens the door to her group and the eldest of your group standing there. "Is there a problem?" Eunchae asks the older women. "We have to get back to the dorms, c'mon" Chaewon says to an annoyed looking Eunchae. "You too, let's go" Ruka snaps her fingers towards you and you go to leave but Eunchae blocks the door way.

"Can she come back to the dorms with us, please" Eunchae asks the two eldest members who look at her like she's crazy. "Please, nothings gonna happen" She whines, looking at Yunjin with a "help me out" look.

"Can't she just come over Chaewon unnie, the kids aren't gonna do anything" Yunjin tries to coax the eldest two. "We aren't kids" You and Eunchae say in unison, the others looking at you, who has unceremoniously pulled Eunchae out of tge doorway.

Chaewon exhales through her nose before before sighing "Fine, if it's ok with Ruka-chan" Chaewon says while glancing at your older member who shrugs and responds "Fine by me, just be back at the dorms before nightfall and if you're staying over at theirs, call me or Rita to tell us ok?" You nod as Ruka states the condition of your stay at the fim-dorm.

You depart with the fimmies in their van, Chaewon who usually sits in the front is now in the back, lodged between you and Eunchae, who looks like she's about to kill her leader. "Is it necessary for you to be back here" Eunchae grumbles, glaring at her leader before looking at the windows.

"Yes, unless you don't want your little girlfriend here at all?" Chaewon mocks, giving Eunchae an ultimatum that makes her shut up.

The drive is quiet except for occasional huffs from Eunchae, tge older still not content with being apart from you even if it's just for a few minutes. When you've all arrived at the dorm, Chaewon gives you and Eunchae some space until you're all in the main dorm.

"If you're going to be in Eunchaes room, keep the door unlocked and no shenanigans" Sakura says before going into her own room. Eunchae practically drags you to her room, only allowing you to remove your shoes before tackling you onto the bed and pulling you close to her.

She uses her fingers to trace your facial features before speaking softly "You and Ruka" She starts before you cut her off "I'm your girlfriend, nor hers, I'd never do that to you, you should know I wont" You say in a low voice, almost a whisper, which makes her smile and pull you in for a kiss, this time more gentle and tame.

The moment is cut short by both of your phones buzzing uncontrollably. You break away from the kiss, picking up your phone first to see you and Eunchae tagged in multiple articles about the events of Eunchae's star diary. Questions ranging from "Is something going on between Le sserafim's maknae and Baby monsters second oldest?" To fans making statements like "I knew they were together just look at these pictures" which are photos from one of your past meetings and shopping sprees where you both had masks and caps on.

The comments just keep coming. "I thought Eunchae hated skinship, why is she always holding hands with her or hugging her of all people" After that comment you put your phone away, to be met with Eunchae who's also putting her phone down.

"The others are gonna kill us aren't they" You sigh in reference to ssamkura and Eunchae just shrugs it off. "Most likely, but let's just enjoy each other's company for now" She says before puling you closer and cuddling you, later you both falling asleep.

A/N: Ending and maybe the whole thing was rushed😭 Had this in my drafts for mad long so I js decided to feed yall.

[luimagines]

Ok, now what would the links do if the group was travelling somewhere that's really cold and snowy, and the group is separated in a snow storm? Now imagine reader and the link in question are close, lovers perhaps, perhaps they're just besties, but the point is they're lost, seperated by from the group, and it's cold af-

I personally think being stuck with twilight would be the best scenario here, because Wolfie is a living heater. Problem solved.

And also, wild has all the right gear for any weather so you'd probably be ok with him too.

BUT- what're your thoughts? Who do you think would handle this well and who would let reader freeze on accident?

I hope you don't mind if I do headcanons on this one! It'll just make it easier to answer your questions that way. :D

Masterlist

Content under the cut!

Legend

Oh honey, you're in good hands.

You know he's got like 15 different items to help you out.

He's already putting on his gear and throwing stuff at you to keep you both warm

He's complaining the entire time though.

Legend's probably been through a situation like this before and now he's just cursing his luck

He's more annoyed than worried

Because of course this had to happen to him

Of all people

He might... leave you behind by mistake. Or at least begin to do so since he's used to continuing on in poor conditions

Yell at him if his pace begins to speed up and you're struggling to catch up.

He'll slow down when he realizes that you don't exactly have the same experience as he does

He'll let you catch up and go at your speed for a little while

Only to get re-annoyed with the circumstances and begin power-walking through the snow again.

He would probably try going through the night to catch up with the rest of the group so you would need to slow him down

Freezing through the night is not a concern of his.

He's too pissed off to care.

Is probably causing all the snow to melt around him in his rage.

....Maybe don't try to make conversation

Let him stomp it out

Sky

Oh no

Oh dear

Good luck

Now he's from the highlands

Get it?

Because the islands are high- they- they're in the Sky- Nevermind

That being said, he's used to colder temperatures

Not freezing

Hear that?

He's doomed.

Doomed I say!

And so are you if someone doesn't get their act together!!!

You both are better off staying put and huddling for warmth.

It's a good thing Sky gives great hugs.

Just wait for the others to come find you and regroup.

Not that Sky is going to want to stay put and wait on someone else.

He's still a Link after all

But good golly you better find a way to keep him put

Sit on him if you have to

Solves both problems

Four

He's going to freeze as well.

He may have an item or two that can help him.

But he's small, ok?

He doesn't have a lot of body heat to go around.

And he's not going to risk it and go out into a storm with ill-equipped gear and a lack of direction

No sir, he won't.

You are both going to sit down and wait.

He tries to avoid it early on, but after a few hours, fire or no fire, he will eventually latch onto you like a koala

I don't make the rules.

Snuggle time!

Please don't let him fall asleep.

That being said, I think that with the two of you missing, the group find you in record time.

You don't have to wait long in the snow storm until rescue comes.

So no need to panic

You both are going to be a-ok. :)

Time

He is on high alert the second you've been separated from the group.

Time makes sure that you are as close to him as physically possible.

He also makes sure to put away his armor. That amount of metal would have him frozen faster than a poe with an ice rod.

He (most likely) will have his equipment to deal with the cold, but his main concern will be on you the entire time.

Not that Time has a lot of ways to deal with the cold to begin with.

I'd imagine that he burns brighter than more so the cold won't bother him as much.

But being out in the middle of nowhere in a blizzard is not very conducive for a survivable experience.

Instantly tries to find a cave instead.

Does not hesitate to use Din's Power to warm the air and keep a fire going.

He somehow also keeps you from burning when he uses said power.

Don't ask me how. I'm using Suspension of Belief.

Once the fire has started, he'll sit you down and drag you close.

Cuddles for warmth. Obviously. Unless? o.o

Kidding.

Mostly.

Time goes full provider mode.

You cannot convince me that the dude who essentially played hero for his entire life will be able to turn that off on a whim

He's a caretaker and he's going to keep you both alive no. matter. what.

The others are going to have to wait. You come first.

Twilight

Oh, he's fine.

He's borderline built for this weather, you kidding?

However, he knows that you both have to reconvene with the group at some point.

So out comes Wolfie.

He can track like the best of them but may forget that you can't travel through it as well as he can.

He makes sure to keep you close.

You may have to have a hand on him at all times as he both try to make your way through the weather.

When you get too cold to move on though, Twilight transforms back into his hylian form and gives you his best gear.

He takes of the wolf pelt and wraps you in it.

Then he takes out all the other clothes that he has and puts them on himself.

They're lighter than his best gear but he's going to put as many layers as he can tolerate

Then he picks you up and carries you until he finds a safe place where you can spend the night.

He (like many in his family) is a man of action and is going to make sure you have nothing to worry about.

Twilight is going to forget that you're a team in his effort to keep everything under control

He means well so don't take it to heart

It's how he manages his stress

Your options are let him do what he wants and go along with it or try to (kindly) remind him that you can do just as much as he can

Results may vary for option number two.

Warrior

Fire rod?

Fire rod.

No need to worry he's going to have some fun.

You might have to worry about having your eyebrows singed off instead.

But let's just say the cold is not going to be a problem for the foreseeable future.

What's more worrying is trying to find your way back to the group.

That is going to be a problem and a half.

Kinda.

I'm tempted to say that Warrior shoots multiple fire columns into the sky to act like giant magical flares.

....Hopefully nothing else catches on fire.

You have to admit though, it looks awesome.

Your best bet would be that the others find you first before you find them because Warrior is not the best tracker known to man.

Wolfie is going to be your best friend.

Warrior cries when he sees Woflie.

He blames it on the wind chill on his eyes.

Wolfie knows better. XD

Wind

Help this poor child.

He's from an island.

A tropical island.

Not to mention he's just a kid!

Sure he's brave and smart and resourceful but to be trapped in a snowstorm?

He's not going to know what to do.

You better have a better inkling of how to handle yourselves.

Or you better place your bets in the group trying to find you first.

But he's not going to be of much help.

Would most likely be a liability in a situation like this.

I'm not saying that to be mean. I know he'd want to do his best to help and to pull his own weight and probably do most of the work since he's "The Hero".

But it's that same attitude that is going to put him in the way most of the time.

Not to mention that (to my knowledge) he doesn't have the gear to help out in the snow.

You're going to have to sit him down and give him a talkin' to because he's going to understand the problem you've both found yourselves in very easily.

Wolfie better be on his way and be there fast.

Wild

He's having the time of his life.

Between his gear to keep out the cold, his lack of self-preservation, and the fact that he can set anything on fire whenever he feels like- y'all are golden.

One of those people that'll accidentally take off without in their excitement, so please hang onto him so you're not left behind. ^.^*

Wild is also the one carrying all the food so you don't have to worry much on that front either.

Even if he didn't, he's also a hunter and is more than willing to hunt down dinner and cook it for you. :D

And that's still not even talking about his potions, his sheikah slate that can connect to Wind's Pirate Stone, and his ability to get lost figure out where he's going.

Aside from the boys already mentioned, if there was ever a need to draw the short stick and get stuck somewhere like this be aware that it could be very... very worse.

(Sorry Wild)

Granted, it'll probably take longer to find others.

Or for them to find you.

Let's be real, you're not going to be staying in one spot.

So! You're going to be set traveling with Wild!

That boy has everything covered! There's nothing for you to worry about!

Save for maybe him running off to explore without you.

And of course... because of that... prolonging the ability to return to the group...

Take pictures. At least have fun with it!

Hyrule

Ok- Mr. Streets Smarts would be an amazing bet to rely on.

He may not be the best tracker, but he knows his stuff.

Hyrule has an amazing sense of direction.

He may have a bad habit of wandering off.

But all those who wander are not always lost, you know what I'm saying?

You may be separated from the group but that doesn't mean that there's no way to find shelter of a nice place to camp.

Hyrule can sniff out this stuff (not literally)

It may not lead you both back to the group, but there's no reason to fear when Hyrule is here!

That being said, he's skin and bones.

This kid needs more layers.

Whether you headcanon him being part fairy or not, I can't imagine the magic he has also equating to him higher blood pressure or a high body tempt to fight off the fact that his boy is gonna be trapped in a snow storm/very snowy area

It may be up to you to make sure he doesn't get hypothermia and freeze to death.

He can lead you out of a mess like that no problem

...It doesn't mean he can lead you back to the group, but something is better than nothing

But I can't imagine him being able to retain his heat very well.

It's going to be the roll of the dice with one y'all.

Cal fighting Kevin and Tyler,,

He’s been taunting these guys ever since they went up on stage to voice their poem. Andre, however, keeps apologizing on his behalf, because if Cal won’t be mature, then he will. He’s also frustrated because he doesn’t know why Cal’s targeting two dudes that haven’t messed with them, that haven’t given them any trouble.

While the building’s small and hardly any people have attended, Cal still wants to convey a forewarning through something as subtle and symbolic as a piece of literature. He doesn’t want people to cry wolf, though— he wants them to think.

Yet Calvin’s being a jackass. He keeps interrupting both teens and mocking their performance. He believes that they go to a different school— after all, he hasn’t recognized them around campus, so he doesn’t mind poking fun. After a couple minutes, Andre tries to cease any tensions Cal may have created between them through his decision to leave.

Soon, after following Andre and Cal, instead of trying to chew them out, one of the boys— Kevin— hurls himself right at Andre, slamming himself into his body and almost knocking the camcorder right out of his hands. Cal instantly springs up and lunges, shoving Kevin over the grounded ledge he was seated on prior.

Andre instantly steps back, turns off the camcorder, and clutches it tightly as to not drop and break it. It feels like fury himself’s crawling out of his pores while he cusses under his breath, observing the weird glint Cal’s got in his eye. He can so clearly spot it in his weirdly emotionless face; it exposes his craving for intimidation and superiority.

He can never really tell what Cal’s thinking or feeling, but in this moment, he’s uneasy. He realizes that he’s always had to be the one to yank Cal away from the grubby claws of hostility, of hostile situations. He’s had to be the rational one… yet, he knows Cal’s smart— he puts in the effort when he feels like it.

But he functions by following this don’t think, just do, mindset. Andre can tell Cal doesn’t even regret it later. It’s fucking annoying, and for him to conclude he’s unable to understand this part of Cal— it’s ironic.

Andre and Cal are supposed to be the only ones who really understand each other— this unspoken agreement ties them together. But even Andre deems certain aspects of Cal unsolvable.

Tyler tries to grab Kevin and pull him away, but Cal slams his elbow into his side, catching him off guard. The guy fights back, however, by latching onto Cal’s shirt and roughly wrenching him away from Kevin. He throws a punch that hits Calvin’s stomach so hard he swears he can hear the air whooshing out of his lungs.

He doubles over but remains fairly steady, wheezing and grinding up the oxygen that’s trying to break into his trachea. He regains his breath after a beat and he forces himself upright when he’s propelled back by Kevin. He wants to tackle Tyler even though he’s about to get double teamed.

Andre holds the camera in one hand while he cuts the tussle short with the other. He snatches Cal by the arm and pulls him down the sidewalk, ignoring the two teens as they shoot profanity their way. Once he lets go of Cal, he’s recording again, forcing the camcorder into his arms.

Now he’s the one who’s going to be chewing Cal out.

I saw a few fans (okay mainly on Reddit..) Worry about a server shut down especially in the English servers because of the sudden quick updates and apparently Aniplex shutting down past games, they say Disney or Aniplex don't really care about Twisted Wonderland and I'm quite baffled?

Like, I just thought the fast updates were so they could catch up and stuff, or because of the anime.. I really doubt they'd shut down the servers unless I'm wrong? 😭 Twisted Wonderland makes a lot of money from what I know, and Disney LOVES money.

Idk, I just got a little baffled.. Twisted Wonderland has a good few years left at least right?

Are you referring to this post?

As many in the thread have already stated, the "they're rushing putting out content, EN is going to shut down soon" claims have always been around, even in the first month of Twst EN being around. It's exaggerated and overblown; EN has been around for 3.5 years now.

The past game(s) being shut down part is technically accurate. The majority of gacha games fail within the first year or two of operation and shut down. The gacha market is just oversaturated and super competitive; it's nearly impossible to predict how long a game may remain in service with new rivals cropping up every other day, all fighting for the time, attention spans, and wallets of a limited player base.

The particular gacha game that was frequently cited as an example of being unfairly shut down by Aniplex is Magia Records, which only lasted about a year and had a monthly revenue of a couple hundred thousand dollars a month (which I guess must not have been enough to cover the costs for advertisement, operations, etc.). It's NOT comparable to Twst in any way because the target demographics, core gameplay, etc. are all so different (not to mention Twst is currently earning several times more than Magia Records ever did). However, I'd like to point out that though Twst does earn more than Magia Records, we also DON'T know if Twst's operating + advertising costs are higher or not. This makes it difficult to "truly" compare the two. We also need to be aware that EN makes way less money than the JP side; the JP fandom will always be Twst's priority due to this. These are all factors that would be weighed by the higher ups, who are the ones that ultimately decide if it is or isn't "worth it" to keep up the EN server, or if it would be better to cut their losses and close it. We as the public with limited access to their data CANNOT accurately predict anything.

The part about Aniplex/Disney not caring about Twst (at least in the west) is somewhat true. There's scarcely any advertisement for the game here and there's barely any merch, especially compared to Japan. There are also frequent quality control issues with the EN version, with some notable ones in the recent update. This can only lead one to conclude that the localization team isn't getting the time, money, and/or resources to provide a quality product, even though companies as huge as Disney and Aniplex could surely afford to give more. I think this is where a lot of Twst fans' frustrations come from; like, we KNOW the localization can be way better than it actually is, and it's annoying that the companies involved aren't willing to put in the effort for something we love.

Again, we hear "EN is going to be hit with EoS (end of service!!!" every other month. Seems to me like the idea sticks around because some fans are just prone to worrying 😅 I understand wanting reassurance about this from a third party, but please keep in mind to 1) not believe everything you hear online and 2) I'm not meant to be here to act as that reassurance for folks (as this is a topic that has already been done many times; I feel it's pointless to rehash it).

I appreciate you valuing my opinion and wanting to hear my thoughts, but you're totally capable of piecing together the evidence and finding out what makes the most sense to you! Think rationally, not anxiously.

Bisharp Body Language, Behaviors, & Culture

Pawniard and Bisharp behaviors are some of my favorite pokemon to analyze due to their unique groups and interesting social cues. Their social cues and behaviors extend to when they have trainers and are born in captivity, and I think it's important for trainers to understand their pokemon. So, here are some Bisharp behaviors and cultures explained!

Body Language & Behaviours

Tapping

Many trainers might have noticed that their Pawniard/Bisharp will tap random surfaces. This behavior is just used to get your atention in order to tell you something. Maybe their hungry, maybe there's danger, and they want to warn you, but they are trying to get your attention for a reason.

Thiddling

(Idea from Eve-of-Halloween on Deviantart)

I think this behavior is very cute. It's a courting act where Pawniard/Bisharp tap their blades together or tap their partner/potential partner's blades in a rhythmic order.

Scraping

Sraping is a behavior where Pawniard/Bisharp scrape their blades together in order to threaten another Pawniard/Bisharp. This behaviour is used as a warning that they're about to attack. If a wild Bisharp does this to you, turn the other way because it most likely means that you are in its territory and doesn't want you there.

Bowing

Pawniard and Bisharp bow for 2 main reasons; bowing to their superiors to to invite someone to a friendly battle. Bowing to their superiors often includes keeping their blades behind their back, while bowing to initiate a friendly battle has their arms extended forward and their hands out.

Scouting

A behavior seen more commonly in Pawniard than Bisharp, and certainly not Kinggambit. This includes a group of Pawniard leaving their camp to go check their territory for any danger. With trainers or with humans, this behaviour includes getting up early and walking around the house or yard to check for any unwanted company.

Marking

Marking is when Pawniard/Bisharp mark their territory by carving their clan's symbol on rocks, trees, or other materials around them. This behaviour is more common in Pawniard than it is Bisharp, and Kingambit don't do it unless they're in captivity and their aren't any other Pawniard or Bisharp to do it for them. This behavior makes a lot of sense in the wild, but it can be annoying when your Pawniard ends up carving things on your walls or driveway.

Courting

Bisharp have a few different courting behaviors. This includes displaying their blades, gift giving, cutting up their partner's food, or sharpening their partner's blades. This behaviour can be a bit difficult when their mate isn't a member of thr Pawniard line, but they do pair very well with Gallade bcuz Gallade court in similar ways.

Clapping

The line claps for similar reasons we do; they like something. I'm just putting this here to explain the next part.

Laughing

Bisharp don't laugh the same reasons we do. We laugh when something is funny, but Bisharp will laugh to show power. It's common for Bisharp to laugh after a fight, and the behavior is seen as mocking. If you recently caught one, you should teach them that you're not mocking them when you're laughing. Or, if you want to accommodate your Bisharp, try clapping when you find something funny because clapping is also their version of laughing.

Clanging

Clanging is when Pawniard line members clang their heads together as a form of greeting. It's used as a way to form deeper bonds amongst their pack.

Culture

I just want to say that each Pawniard/Bisharp pack/clan has different cultures and behaviors, and they're not all the same. I go over it a bit in my Pawniard Facts post, and I'll go over it as well in my Bisharp Fact posts, but I am going itno more detail here!

Writing & Symbols

Each Pawniard pack has their own symbols for their clan, which they use to mark their territory. While they don't write as much as Weavile do, there have been recorded cases of them drawing symbols that aren't their or other clan symbols that they use to communicate with one another.

Naming

The Pawniard line does, in fact, name each other! It's usually vocal sounds coming from the mouth, and they may even have symbols for their names. This extends to their trainers. If your Pawniard/Bisharp/Kingambit always refers to you with a specific soundz that means that they have named you. And while it's hard to translate what these names mean, as scientists aren't fully sure if what their symbols mean, they have figured out some, and many Pawniard/Bisharp/Kingambit are named after things that are around them; like different trees or rocks.

Affection

Because of the blades all over their body, the line isn't much for physical affection. Instead, the line will show affection to one's they are close with by doing acts of service or do something I like to call "Allogrooming but without the grooming bcuz idk what it's called," where clans will have dedicated times to just relaxing and communicating eith each other. For trainers, this behavior can translate as your partner following you around or giving you gifts.

Honor

So many Bisharp clans have such a high focus on honor. The most honorable thing a Bisharp can do is become a strong leader, so evolving into a Kingambit is one of the best things you can do. But since only one clan can have a kingambit, other Pawniard and Bisharp just focus on becoming stronger for their clan and Kingambit.

Mourning

Like humans, the Pawniard line buries their dead. They're often buried with different stones or beloved objects. Researchers understand the beloved objects part, but they're still trying to figure out what the stones mean. They will have funerals foe their dead and different clans have different ways for their funerals. Some clans will have moments of silence, some will have battles, and some will celebrate their fallen friends next chapter into the afterlife.

Integration

The Pawniard line prefers to keep to their own clans, with integration of clans not being a very common thing. BUT, it isn't unheard of. It mostly happens when a Kingambit manages to take control over multiple clans, resulting in larger territories and more clan members. Integration can also happen with outer species as well. Members of the line are known to accept other humanoid pokenon into their clans, like Charcadet or Gallade, but they also get along very well with the Aegislash line. Researchers believe it is because Aegislash is attracted to any pokemon that has organized societies and have power, making it easier for the Aegislash to befriend said pokemon. Works for Bisharp's favor, since now they have something to protect them from fighting types.

Hope this helps! It was very fun researching the structures of their socities and their behaviours. If you use any questions, please ask me!

[thehorrorsoftheblackbunnymask]

Just curious in the prison AU how did the character yk react when being arrested? I’ve seen a few videos and some people like yk resist arrest or like make it difficult for the cops to load them into the car and others just kinda let it happen? I’m just curious on how much of a struggle did the cops have when trying to arrest the proxy’s/pastas

THIS MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS FOR FUTURE PARTD OF THE PRISON AU, IF YOU DONT WANNA SEE, SCROLL PAST.

I like to think the proxies got raided, so I'm going to take some inspo from my Insane Asylum AU

Maybe Toby left a piece of evidence that led the cops right to them. For this mission, the Proxies were staying in a motel. It was the middle of the night, Toby's watching lord knows what, Hoodie's looking at some photographs he took of the victims, and Masky's smoking outside. But, as Masky's smoking, he sees bunch of cop cars in the distance. He'd run inside and tell them that they gotta leave now.

However, they got caught. Hoodie would probably be the most willing. Hoodie's the most logical of the group and he knows damn well that he isn't going to get away unless they all have a plan. He'd have the most annoyed look on his face but he wouldn't do anything.

Toby almost gotta away. Toby's had so many run ins with the cops, starting back when he was a late teenager. He would've gotten away to if his tics didn't start to act up like crazy. He'd be screaming, maybe bite a cop or two, they wouldn't definitely put a muzzle on him because he'd been sent to jail before, as mentioned in Part 1.

Masky is similar to Hoodie where he's more so annoyed then anything. But, I can see him being extremely paranoid about what the Operator and Slenderman are going to react, not even Kate has gotten caught and she works alone. He'd curse out the cops, but during the car ride, he'd be mumbling to himself, and maybe even have a panic attack.

Now to everyone else!

Ben, Jeff, and EJ were also caught together. They were all hanging out in a cabin where Jeff killing the current residents. However, Jeff had left a piece of evidence at one of his old crime scenes that led the cops to them.

EJ was dissecting one of the people Jeff killed with Ben looming over him, smoking a blunt while asking him hundreds of questions. Jeff would come over and now all of them are looming over this dead guy's body, his stomach cut open with his kidneys ripped out.

I just wanna note that these guys were the hardest to find because they're not always together, EJ eats the evidence, Ben's killings rarely leave a mark on the real world, and Jeff is good at what he does.

When the door got kicked in, the cops stared at the three in horror.

Since Ben was high as hell, he'd start laughing while saying they were fucked. Might I add, if Ben wasn't high, the three of them deadass could've escaped no problem because the cabin had a TV.

Ben was caught first and he'd be laughing, yelling "Fuck the police" while spitting on the floor. The most unserious motherfucker.

EJ killed a good chunk of the cops, but then his hunger kicked in. He ended up eating a cop, but he was able to get knocked out because of it.

Jeff got carried away and got knocked out as well.

Liu's arrest was actually recorded on live TV.

After going on a minor killing spree in a city he was in, he was seen in the background of some guy's livestream.

Liu's identity was roughly unknown by the police, and they had a few sketches of what he might look like, and unfortunately for him, they had one that was really close.

When Liu realized he was being followed by a helicopter and a few police cars, he booked it. The entire chase was live, and in broad daylight too.

He ended up cornering himself after he ran into an abandoned building. When he realized he was caught, he just sat down and waited for the cops to catch up.

When the cops walked in, they saw him sitting on top of a crate, his head facing the floor as he spinned a knife in his hand, humming a lullaby to pass the time. Tbh with you, he let himself get caught. When Jeff found out, he was so fucking pissed off. When he saw him enter the inmates ward, he yelled and playfully hit him for 30 minutes straight, Liu couldn't care less tho.

FIRST SOLDIER EPISODE 2: CHAPTER 1

It's finally time! We were waiting FOREVER. I know you guys are very excited for Babygeal and Miniroth's first adventure together. So I'm recapping what you might have missed if you weren't able to see the chapter! Let's go!!!!

We open on the mysterious woods, a hooded figure staggering around wheezing and gasping. He's in some sort of ruins location. He drops a video camera cutting to images of sephiroth in fire and flashing forward to glimpses of scenes we'll see later in the story. We see Sephiroth, Angeal, and a Lucrecia-looking character named ALISSA. A new soldier ally? But she looks a LOT like Lucrecia so it's weird. A new friend? Or something...else?

Alissa is shown to be mentioning something about Sephiroth taking a magic sword (Masamune) and how it will empower him. Or, as she puts it, CHANGE THE WORLD. More clips from the trailer.

We cut to the present with Miniroth sleeping on the helicopter. Angeal disturbs his sleep like we saw before. It's still 1992 btw so not too much later than the Rhadore mission.

Miniroth is grumpy. Camera guy is here too--his name is Bachman.

Angeal is SIXTEEN also btw if you're wondering. Seph is prob 14 or 15.

Angeal keeps yapping and LMAO he's already talking about dumbapples. Miniroth is super annoyed and keeps blowing him off.

Angeal guesses that Seph has ever been lectured before and Miniroth FLASHES BACK TO GLENN. I'm already sad.

Bachman is reminiscing like this is a documentary he's looking back on. Angeal and Sephiroth land in September of 1992 into the ruins of Robio, on the southern tip of Wutai. Their objective is to find a bunch of missing soldiers.

Bachman is with the Shinra Records and Archives division. Sephiroth already hates being filmed. Bachman is basically there for propaganda reasons. Sephiroth WILL NOT humor his questions and is getting increasingly pissy.

Angeal is determined to find the missing soldiers no matter what. Four missing soldiers.

A monster appears! Sephiroth doesn't want to fight with the cameras rolling so Angeal steps in to fight for him. Angeal asks why Sephiroth didn't fight, Sephiroth says that Angeal had it handled. Bachman keeps hassling them for PR footage. Sephiroth was not informed about being filmed and is sulking. The guy is DONE.

They enter the Igara Forbidden Zone. It's a spooky place. Shinra thinks they're hiding something there. This is where the soldiers went missing. Angeal guesses there's some evil sort of entity in the area. Sephiroth is checked out.

Angeal tries to get Seph to cut loose. There's tension between them. Seph won't open up. The incident with Glenn really hurt him. He doesn't trust anyone.

Angeal spots something. It's a soldier and he's dead. Angeal is sad. He knew this guy and he was one of his friends. Angeal says they'll bring the body back later. They have to find the others.

They trek deeper into the Forbidden Zone. Angeal leads the way. ANOTHER body! That's 2/4 soldiers found.

Bachman brings up the Rhadore mission. Sephiroth flashes back again to the FS trio being kind to him. Sephiroth lies about how close he was to them, pretending he never got emotionally involved. But even then, Sephiroth is upset af when they are called traitors to Shinra. It's weighing on him.

Sephiroth tells Angeal that he's a special soldier. He's the only one who can speak freely to Professor Hojo. He warns Angeal THEY'LL NEVER BE FRIENDS (lol). Hojo must have done some shit to Seph before this mission, since he's so closed off. Angeal muses that being around Hojo must have fucked up Sephiroth's personality.

A third dead soldier found. Sephiroth still doesn't want to fight when monsters show up. Peak Grumpyroth. Only one more soldier left to find.

Sephiroth says that the wound on the body was made with a blade, the same as the other bodies. A PERSON killed the soldiers, not monsters. Angeal wants Seph to help him out and share intel. Sephiroth is not being agreeable.

They take a short break. Bachman brings up being friends with soldiers and says that Seph keeps to himself. Angeal lectures on TEAMWORK. Seph blows him off again. Sephiroth brute forces his way through without teamwork.

Angeal says he always wanted to work with Seph. He says if they can't be friends then at least comrades? Sephiroth keeps depersonalizing himself. He keeps calling himself just a "weapon" or a "machine". Angeal is DETERMINED to be his friend no matter what. They can get stronger through bonds. But Sephiroth is still depressed and checked out.

Lol they talk about ninjas. Angeal has fought them in simulations.

FUCKING HOJO JUMPSCARE. Seph flashback of fighting in simulations with Hojo overlooking his training. Angeal's data was included to test how Sephiroth operates with a team. Huh. Angeal was apparently partners with Seph in those simulations due to rankings. LOL GEN NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PLACE I GUESS.

Angeal senses something's not right about this place (NO YOU THINK?). They talk about Soldier Intuition. Camera man is literally just there for Angeal to talk to since Seph won't talk to him lol.

Seph says they're being watched. Sephiroth just senses it while blowing off the whole intuition thing. We see a spooky purple presence tailing them.

Another body! The final one! And they're alive! But suddenly an old man with an INCREDIBLE AMAZING SWORD shows up. Sephiroth says that the geezer is unworthy to hold such a beautiful weapon. It's the Masamune btw. In case that isn't obvious. And the old man's name is Swordsmith Masamune.

NAMELESS (Sephiroth's old sword) breaks during the clash (rip). The old man says that he's the master swordsmith of Robio. He brags about how COOL AND AWESOME HIS SWORD IS. And how no matter how long he's waited, no one has come to claim the sword as their own (lol till now). He then runs off.

The injured soldier stirs and removes their helmet. It's that Lucrecia-looking chick Alissa. Sephiroth IMMEDIATELY panics because SHE LOOKS LIKE HIS MOTHER SADRFGHJGFD

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON ASEDRFGHFDS She asks if she looks like Sephiroth's sweetheart...or his MOTHER. AND THEN THE CHAPTER ENDS!!!!

But wait there's apparently extra content? Little glimpses. Hm...

Snippet 1: Angeal tells Bachman to take Alissa to safety while they gather their fallen allies. Sephiroth is still freaked out by Alissa. The mission wraps up. Bachman muses that there is no other soldier like Sephiroth. But the second he lost his sword...there were cracks in his psyche. Hm...

Snippet 2: Sephiroth is having a dream. It's his mother's voice and HOLY SHIT he's dreaming about seeing her im going to pass away. I'm going to die FUCK he's dreaming of having her with him and being in her life and hersdfdsdfs she makes him dinner and it's PUMPKIN SOUP AND I'M DYING HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK ASEDRFGHJGFDSADFGHGFDSDSFGHFDS it's a fantasy in his head AND HE AND AND SHE ASDFGHFDSA I'm sobbing SHE HUGS HIM AND I'M ASDFGDSFD

Snippet 3: Angeal is thinking back to a memory with his father. It's Gillian's birthday. We see young Angeal with his dad and they're bringing out food for his mother enjoying a nice picnic. Angeal says he wants to do more cooking. Just some cute Banora lore mostly. Angeal is talking about enlisting. The extra wages will help his family. They toast in honor of sending him off. Angeal reflects on doing meaningful stuff with his life by joining SOLDIER.

END chapter. Whew. Holy cow. Super intriguing stuff. Who is Alissa? Why does she look like Sephiroth's mom? What's with the Masamune? Will Sephiroth EVER trust Angeal? ALSO HOLY SHIT WE GOT A CANON MOMMY ISSUES SCENE WITH Seph and Lucrecia I'm going to die.

Only Love Can Hurt Like This, Chapter 1, Parts 1-3 Summary (CEO! Sukuna x Fem! Reader, MDNI)

To avoid reading the heavy themes in detail in the backstory of reader and Toji, I've decided to make a little summary!

If this story is new to you, the other parts are here.

Prologue Chapter 1, Part 1 Chapter 1, Part 2 Chapter 1, Part 3

Wordcount: 1.1k+ CW: Nothing in detail, but mentions of underage sex, rape, drugging, abuse, pregnancy, miscarriage, domestic violence, etc.

Your parents are very successful and wealthy, but they pay little to no attention to you. When you finished the 8th grade, they moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, making you leave your close friends and old life behind. You had to start highschool with no one, but you met Toji right away. He was a senior, you were a freshman. You were a little flirty with him, and it made you giddy that a senior had interest in you, a freshman. You didn't notice his manipulative tactics to get you to go out with him, and end up starting to hang out with him. Without your knowledge, after a party one night, he drugged your tea and took advantage of you. He also took photos of you during the ordeal, sending them to some of his friends to "sell" you to them. You felt weird upon waking up the next day, questioned him about it, but he got annoyed and didn't talk to you for a couple days after it. He did start talking to you again, and the two of you continued to hang out. He pretended that touching you was bad for him cause you would just accuse him of something bad again, but because it made you feel bad and lonely, you basically begged for his attention. He definitely knew what he was doing. He knew you would be desperate since you often felt lonely.

He convinced you to bed, pretending it was the first time for the two of you. You didn't feel that great though, and it left you wondering if sex is always painful or uncomfortable. But he said it just took time to enjoy, so you trusted him. Unfortunately, every time the two of you had sex, he also had a camera going to record it. This was seen by others in his circle that would want to pay to have sex with you as well, without your knowledge of course. This happened numerous times, and people he didn't even know would pay him to use you.

   You ended up getting pregnant, by Toji or by a random guy, it's left unknown. You try to talk to your mom and admit having a boyfriend, to which she doesn't seem to mind, but the conversation cuts off as she gets on a work call, leaving you feeling unheard as usual. You eventually show Toji a pregnancy test, afraid he's gonna leave, but he acts like he's excited. He claims he'll get a job right out of high school to take care of the two of you. Unfortunately, your mom finds a discarded pregnancy tests and sits you down with her and your dad. An argument breaks out, your parents finding out Toji is way older than you and they say you'll never see him again and that he doesn't love you. They say they're making you change schools again and you deny their claims, and message Toji later in the evening, scared they're going to take you away from him.

He says they can't take you from him, and the two of you should run away and get your own place together. You steal a lot of money from your parents safe in the home and Toji finds a place for the two of you. It's a cheap little apartment but you're so in love you don't care. Toji is always bringing you prenatal pills, but in reality they're abortion pills or whatever else he can get his hands on to terminate your pregnancy. He obviously has no interest in you having a kid. He gets something stronger from someone off the street when you start showing, but it ends up causing you severe pain and putting you in the hospital. You lose your baby, and your parents are there again, getting into another fight with you and Toji. You continue to defend Toji, and still go back home with him when possible.

Your parents say you're not welcome back into their lives then until you realize how awful Toji actually is. You ignore them. Things with Toji seem to be great, though the sex is still painful for you. He still records you, and even asks you to marry him by slipping a ring on your finger during sex. You think you're in love, and that all is well, but after a couple years pass, for the first time, you question Toji about why a bill hasn't been paid. His response is slapping you and shoving you to your ass. You're scared and confused and he threatens you to never question again before storming off to the bedroom. Later he comes out and profusely apologizes, saying he hasn't been getting a lot of hours at work and his credit cards are maxed. You're still nervous cause he put hands on you, but you are understanding and feel sorry for his stress. You give him a lot of your parent's money and take on some of the bills to help out.

All the money runs out and you question him again, and you get treated the same way as before. At some point he just disappears for several days, and when you ask where he went, he hits you again. You decided you're over it. He always seems to get mean when he drinks and then he hits you for no reason. You try to pack a bag to leave but he says you're not allowed to leave him. You say he needs space to figure shit out cause him hitting you isn't acceptable. Unfortunately that leads to him really hurting you. The whole apartment is torn up in your struggle with him, and you're left with a broken nose and arm. He takes advantage of you in bed, saying you belong to him entirely. Eventually, he takes you to the hospital for your injuries and you tell the nurses that you were attacked and raped by some stranger cause you're too terrified to say it was Toji.

A couple months later you try to run away again, but he attacks you again. He mentions someone hurting your parents if you ever try to go to them, and then you're later shoved into a crate that he locks you in to further torment you. After you've screamed and cried yourself to exhaustion you think back on all the times you should have realized that Toji was obsessive and extremely possessive over you and even though you didn't have a good relationship with your parents, they were right about him, but now you're trapped, and you don't know how to get out.

Hope you enjoyed! I'll have the next chapter out soon, and Sukuna will then be apart of the story. <3

[deadqueerboys]

could you possibly write about a bratty ftm reader annoying tommy whos tired of reader's bratty attitude?

Mhm yes yes

Tommyinnit x Ftm! Reader

NSFW UNDER THE CUT

Being bratty was part of M/n. His relationship also includes him being a prick and annoying Tommy. It was funny. He could see how pissed he gets. His best way of doing it is coming after him, walking around without saying a word, and suddenly hugging him. And never letting him go. Doesn't matter if he's streaming or recording. He WILL give him a hug and spend time with him. His voice gets Tom tired. He's too sick of hearing him speaking the whole day. He's like a junk box who just has one tonality. His smile is too hard to go away. He's good at doing jokes and making he suffer with his cuteness. At the point, he's sat next to him with a tape on his mouth. Tommy put him right beside him so he could take care of him. The tape was easy to take off, but he was handcuffed. The only thing he could do was breathe on his neck. His hot breath against his neck. He looks at him, puppy eyes staring at his soul.

"Ugh, fine. But don't annoy me." Tom takes the tape off, together with the handcuffs. It was a sexual thing. They brought this stuff to make their nights more interesting. It didn't happen. Instead, Tommy used it for a video and never used it again. But now he did, he handcuffed M/n. After taking the things off, he could only smile at the mark of the tape around his mouth and how his wrists were a little red. He looked at his computer, and the project was ready. He could finally relax and take care of himself. He pets M/n's head and gets up, going to the bathroom. His steps are quiet as he gets inside of the bathroom, looking at his chin in the mirror. He wonders if he should shave, but if he did up and he would have to do down and he wasn't really into it today. "You look awful." He smirks, throwing himself in the bed.

M/n rolls his eyes. "If I look so awful, why do you want me?" He teases, sitting on the bed next to him, playing with his hair. His fingers are running along his curls. It's cute until he grabs it and makes Tom whimper. He places his head between his thighs, nuzzling on his legs. He sees this as an opportunity to shut his mouth, encouraging him to go down on. Tommy pushes him down until he reaches the edge of the bed and almost gets on his knees. He does as the suggestion, quickly sitting on the floor and spreading his legs. It was time to have some fun. He opens his mouth while Tom gets up and stands in front of him. He opens his zipper and pushes down his pants. His half hard cock slapping against M/n's cheek before he forces it inside his mouth. He moans and relaxes, finally receiving what he wanted.

"That's the only way of shutting your mouth. It's unbelievable." He rolls his eyes, his cock hardening against his tongue. Pre-cum leaked his tip, making his throat feel bitter and salty, exploring his mouth. His eyes narrowed, and it was too good. M/n was good at this. He wanted his pussy, but that's better. That's a moment of peace without him talking about anything. It was the best way of shutting his mouth and also getting pleasure. He doesn't feel relaxed like this in weeks. He grabs his hair, pulling him closer, making he choke on his dick. "Ah! Ah.." Tommy moans. His body feels sensitive. His mouth feels so good, warm, and comfortable. It's like their bodies were built to each other. His crotch can relax around his mouth, like the reason for a puzzle.

[kalahannikolai]

The doctor is here, Ratchet himself! Clearly inspired for the most part by Prime!Ratchet, but with some essence of the design from the Bumblebee movie. I also gave him a tailcoat cuz that's my favorite thing to slap onto bots when I design them lol. I accidentally put a Batman logo on his chest there, the middle window above the two pec panes; so while he's not Batman (or is he...?) I am Bruce-ifying him.

LORE TIME!!!

Ratchet was born of a fairly high class in the gleaming city of Proximax. Known well for its prodigious medical and science academies, the city was the pinnacle of intellectual pursuits on Cybertron. His fathers were both prolific scientists of the city, paragons of their fields and masters of their crafts. They forged Ratchet as their only sparkling, unwilling to divide their attention among multiple children until Ratchet came of age. He spent a good long developmental stage beneath his fathers' supervision.

All up until one dreadful day...

They'd gone together to an exceptional play held in Iacon's amphitheater, and had been on their merry way out following its conclusion. The young Ratchet was all too eager to go home, and convinced his fathers to go down an alleyway as a shortcut. It was as they'd passed through that it went wrong, as a shadow that had stalked them used the foolish choice to their advantage. The attacker quickly cut down Ratchet's fathers, and took their possessions off of their cooling, greying chasses.

They left Ratchet alone with a malicious smile, and put a single digit to their horrible face and simply said: "Shhhh..." The mortified youth would never forget that sight and sound for his whole life. But even as the murderer and looter fled the scene, the enforcers would come upon the sight with no evidence as to their identity.

Ratchet would spend the rest of his life disillusioned of Cybertron's supposed greatness. The enforcers never did find his fathers' killer, they never did even figure out who it was. Worse yet, despite the high standing and planetwide renown of his fathers, the enforcement division gave up far too easily for Ratchet's tastes. Even as he eventually grew close to the likes of Prowl, the one enforcer on his side who never gave up the search.

But even with one friend through the traumatic experience, all who knew Ratchet would say the youth they knew died with his parents.

Ratchet in his maturity would be far more dour and serious, even if he never stopped being kind and considerate of others. His resting face may always look disappointed or annoyed, but he never raised his voice to anyone that didn't deserve it. Younglings would often be his priority for medical service, and Ratchet never failed to bring comfort and healing no matter the age. Even younglings born fresh from the Wellspring would find themselves given a trusted figure to look up to in him.

When the times before the war grew tumultuous, as the Exodus of Shadowmancer was the canary-con in the cobalt mine, Ratchet was unsurprised by it all.

The rise of the Decepticon rebellion as the oppressed banded together made sense to him. At least, it did in its earliest and most sincere stages...not so much as it began to escalate as time went on. When more and more of Ratchet's patients were innocents wounded by Decepticon aggression, his distaste for them grew immensely. But for all Ratchet's growing desire to get in their way, he would sooner cut off his arms than lend any aid to Sentinel Prime; the arrogant fool was complicit in his fathers' murder as far as he was concerned.

But when news came to Ratchet of a young librarian turned enforcer turned resistance leader in the form of Orion Pax, the doctor actually felt the tiniest flicker of hope. The recordings he watched and speeches he heard from the former librarian were inspiring. Unwilling to let the noble spark fight this just cause alone, Ratchet would gather some likeminded doctors and scientists from the academies of Proximax. He was even able to convince the likes of Prowl and his comrades to desert the enforcers division and lend their aids to the Autobot Resistance.

The support he brought well earned Ratchet respect among the Autobots, and Orion himself welcomed the doctor with a tight embrace.

Thus it was that Ratchet watched with pride when Orion was made a true Prime with the acquisition of the Matrix, and led them as well as he could through the war. Even if most saw his usual dour expression, those who knew him well understood he was essentially beaming. Ratchet was far from the only doctor that joined the Autobot Resistance, but he all but led the medical charge to keep them hale and hearty. And when the war came to its climactic end, Ratchet showed his support for the newly risen Rodimus Prime as he did the stepped down Optimus.

And when the former leader of the Autobots called for some to follow him to search for Shadowmancer and their people, Ratchet gladly followed to bring his medical knowhow to whomever may need it. Wheeljack, who'd grown so close to Ratchet they were attached at the hip, never left his side on the new planet. The two would find themselves quite dearly needed by the Emperor of Adrestia herself...

(I punch a hole through your wall)

HI MICK 😡😡 HOW ARE YOU, I HOPE YOURE DOING OKAY😡‼️

I'd like to request more Clopin Headcanons because the last ones were really awesome (maybe some Headcanons for Phoebus as well?) ok that's all BYE

HEY?????? MY FUCKING WALL!!!!!!! WHAAT

(i’m doing okaaaaay i hope you are as well)

also ew no how DARE you request headcanons from me especially after you broke my wA— HEY NO DONT GO UNDER THE CUT THEYRE DEFINITELY NOT UNDER THERE. HEY. HEY—

CLOPIN HCSSSSS

he probably has to make his own paint for his injuries and dye for his jester clothes out of plants (i’m not VERY knowledgeable about this but i know they used like. flowers and shit back in the day) so he’s probably pretty good at identifying different types of plant and knowing what colour they’d make when crushed and turned into paint or dye or ink or whatever. probably sells any excess pigment he makes to people for extra cash

pierced his own ear one night. wasn’t even dared to do so he was literally just like “hell yeaaahhh earring time”

double jointed or uncannily flexible. a borderline contortionist. constantly doing tricks and backflips and general annoying gymnastics stuff because it’s incredibly easy for him to do so and also because his Bones Ache if he sits still for more than 3 seconds. i think someone pointed out you barely see him walk or run bc hes always just tumbling around

cant read very well & can only really write a couple names (including his own) so he has someone write his lyrics down for him via dictation if he wants to record them. doesn’t rlly bring it up a lot & occasionally plays it for laughs but he’s secretly a little annoyed other people find it easy to learn how to read & write

he has kids but he doesn’t interact with them much when they’re outside of the court because he doesn’t want to put them under any danger considering he’s like.. the leader/scapegoat of the Rromani. i saw someone say that if someone was referred to as a “king” then that was typically someone sacrificed so the other Rromani people could flee semi-safely & i thought it was a neat idea so i adopted it into my belief system. it was explored in a fic i read that i thought was super good i’ll link it in the replies

was the one to Acquire djali and wasn’t rlly sure what to DO with him. mentioned possibly eating him as a last resort maybe and esmeralda was like ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT and took the goat in 😭

captain feeble my loved and beloathed

mentioning the sequel off the bat IM SORGY but i feel like he was secretly super relieved when zephyr didn’t show any interest in wanting to join the army/had an interest in juggling/took after esmeralda etc. has horrible ptsd (canon in the musical) and would not wish for anybody to experience what he did on anybody, even his worst enemy. he struggles sleeping sometimes because he’s plagued with nightmares, especially after the siege on the notre dame. all the noise and sights of the people fighting were almost too familiar to him.

talks to achilles. little things like ranting to him after a bad situation with someone, filling him in on their daily schedule/what they have to do that day. he’d also spend hours grooming him and making him look pretty because it’s both relaxing AND satisfying. soldiers typically had very strong bonds with their horses for getting through war together so ik that horse is basically his bestie. he’d walk into his & esmeralda’s house during spring or summer when achilles is shedding hair like crazy and just get horse hair everywhere LMFOAO esmeralda would make him sweep it up. he’d also probably sell the hair or use it in pillows and mattresses or whatever as stuffing :)

its a fairly popular hc in fics (at least the ones ive read) where if he loses his job as captain he does little odd jobs or physical labour tasks and i think it’s absolutely so true. he’s literally down for anything. you’d say you have a job for someone to do and he’d just bound over like I’LL DO IT before you even tell him what it is he’s signing up for. he’s literally not picky at all & will just gladly do jobs other people would instantly refuse to do

straying into a semi romantic area here but like… carding your fingers through his hair is essentially his shut-off button. if he’s fighting sleep and you do that? oh brother. he’s gone. he’s not waking up for a solid 9 hours. extra brownie points if you hum to him while you do so.

it’s like he has a 6th sense for danger. if one of his friends (or zephyr tbh) are doing something kinda stupid that’ll lead to injury or tears at the very least he’ll just sort of…… Know. and maybe join in, activity-depending. he’ll rock up all “wtf are you doing you’ll get hurt” and then be like “wait lmao that seems super fun. can i join in.”

evilly projecting onto him but he cannot wear a hat without looking ridiculous. his helmet is literally the only exception to that rule.

he lets esmeralda shave him because of that “i just shaved!” line from when they first met. it’s really sweet but he cANNOT STOP BEING AFFECTIONATE so it takes a legitimate age for them to finish. he’s just looking up at esme like “🥺🥺🥺 you look so good today babe you look so nice.” and she’s holding a razor like “stfu and stop trying to kiss me you’re getting your ye olde shaving foam EVERYWHERE. let me do this”

[cherrygummybears]

at last here it is!! the piece i wrote about mash for my final project for my geography class. i originally made this on arcgis and the site is being super annoying. i’m not able to post a link to the piece in its original form without doxxing myself, so i’m just going to put the text and photos directly in the post. (under a cut of course).

essentially, american media has a tendency to depict other countries in a very ignorant and inaccurate way, and while mash does have its own issues with this, I thought it would make a very interesting case study of the larger issue in hollywood because it’s an example where the writers were trying to get things right and trying to be genuinely progressive. based on that i made some conclusions about american individualism and how i think it affects our interactions with the rest of the world.

a few asides: some photos from the original version are removed because i’m unsure about copyright. i also had interactive maps embedded in the original which i unfortunately cannot transfer to a tumblr post. i changed the wording of a few spots to remove unnecessary geography terminology that i included to meet assignment requirements. im also really sorry if the writing is a little janky or if I got anything wrong! I made this entire project from start to finish (including research stages) in the span of probably about 48 hours. and i was very sleep deprived the whole time but I tried very hard to make it the best I could in spite of the time crunch I was under!

(also, i don’t know them and we aren’t mutuals so i feel too awkward to tag them outright, but huge thank you to tumblr user mashhistorian. i would not have been able to pull this piece together without the information i found on their website.)

anyways! full piece below the cut :)

————————————————————————

On February 28, 1983, roughly 106 million Americans tuned in to CBS to watch the finale of the 1970s sitcom M*A*S*H, cementing the 2.5 hour special as the most viewed episode of a television series in American history (a record which still has not been surpassed today). Not only did the show eventually help blueprint the AB plot structure and the dramedy genre, but it also promoted a strong anti-war stance to a large audience. Set in a fictional Mobile Army Surgical Hospital unit in the Korean War, taking place near Uijeongbu, South Korea, and debuting in 1972, M*A*S*H began airing on television at a time when the US military was still directly involved in the Vietnam War. This involvement ended only a year after M*A*S*H began, but the overall unpopularity of the Vietnam War in the years leading up to the show’s debut heavily motivated its anti-war position.

Though this message became the centerpiece far more often in seasons 6 through 11, the writers and cast always had the goal of emphasizing the tragedy and uselessness of war. Given the large audience that M*A*S*H quickly grew, this was a powerful position to take, and a rather unusual one at the time. Other shows that were airing during the same time period as M*A*S*H were usually comedies, and did not make such direct commentary on relevant political issues. However, although this message was very well intentioned, it was not always executed perfectly, and incongruities and inaccuracies sometimes arose. American movies and television shows are not strangers to inaccurate depictions of foreign countries, and in line with this issue, one criticism of M*A*S*H was its general inaccuracy in portrayals of Korean people and Korea itself. Given the way M*A*S*H subverted its own initial comedic structure and consistently made commentary which rebelled against the traditional politics of mainstream American television networks, the show’s depiction of Korea makes for a remarkably unique case study of the shortcomings of American media when portraying foreign countries.

(A modern photo of Uijeongbu, South Korea)

Today, as a result of significant urbanization, the city of Uijeongbu has become a satellite community of Seoul with a population of roughly 460,000 people. Information on the size of the city at the time of the Korean War is very limited, but it seems that during those years Uijeongbu was likely a small village. However, M*A*S*H was not actually filmed anywhere near Korea, or even southeast Asia. Rather, it was filmed entirely in Southern California. The show had an indoor set at 20th Century Fox Studios, and an outdoor set located in Fox Ranch, now called Malibu Creek State Park. The producers actually chose the location for the outdoor set because they felt that it bore a resemblance to Korea. In some ways, this choice worked in the show’s favor when it comes to the physical geography of its canon location. Uijeongbu is surrounded on multiple sides by a mountainous landscape, and Malibu Creek State Park also boasts a mountainous backdrop.

(A modern photo of Malibu Creek State Park. It has noticeably more yellow tones in its greenery than the modern photo of Uijeongbu.)

At the same time, however, the southern California filming location does not align quite so well with the setting of Uijeongbu. Southern California is warmer than northern South Korea, and has far less variance in temperature, with the Malibu area rarely having temperatures outside the range of 40-90 degrees Fahrenheit at any time during the year. In contrast to this, Korea has significantly more differentiation in the weather between seasons, with Uijeongbu sitting in the 20 and 30 degree range in winter and the 70 and 80 degree range in the summer. It is difficult to find information on how the Korean climate may have been different at the time of the Korean war, but based on the accounts of some former soldiers, it seems the winter weather could reach far below this range. While this would align with the numerous M*A*S*H winter episodes which emphasized the biting, windy cold, current information about Uijeongbu’s climate matches up less well.

In terms of greenery, the two locations seem relatively similar, though Uijeongbu is greener today than Malibu Creek State Park. It is hard to find photos of what Uijeongbu’s landscape looked like during the Korean War, but based on the photos available, along with photos of nearby Seoul at the time, it was likely less green than it looks today, partly because of the destruction caused by the war. If anything, this probably would have made it more similar in greenery to Malibu Creek State Park because of the combined greenery and desert-like landscapes that make up many areas of southern California.

The camera and television quality that was available at the time of the show’s production also likely plays into things, as the same locations within Malibu Creek State Park look different when photographed with less grainy cameras, and the show itself likely looked different when broadcasted onto the much smaller television screens of the 1970s. Overall, based on this information, the climate differences between Korea and California did not seem to cause major issues with M*A*S*H’s portrayal of Korea. Most likely, any noticeable discrepancies in the landscape and weather are attributable to older technology and mild dramatization typical of American television (although the fact that domestic landscapes are not treated with this same dramatization is still something which should be discussed).

(A comparison of the M*A*S*H filming location from the time of filming to now. The grainier camera quality of the 1970s causes the colors to appear more brown than they are in reality.)

M*A*S*H’s biggest issue in its depiction of Korea lies in its portrayal of Korean people. There were no regular Korean characters, and a limited number of recurring ones. The majority of Korean characters on the show were one time characters, and were also rarely played by Korean actors (rather, they were frequently played by Japanese or Chinese actors instead). There was also the supposed issue of the language and accent being spoken inaccurately, and the one dimensional and cultureless way with which Koreans on the show were portrayed. Although M*A*S*H’s producers Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds actually went to South Korea to ensure greater accuracy in the show, their visit focused very heavily on the experiences of American doctors and nurses in the former 8055th MASH unit, a real MASH unit which existed during and after the Korean war and was instrumental in inspiring the show. In documentation of a 1974 news article on this topic, there is nothing indicating that Gelbart or Reynolds spent any of their interviewing and touring time with any Korean people (instead indicating they spent the entirety of the trip at the 8055th MASH).

(Korean actor Soon-Tek Oh playing Mr. Kwang in an episode of M*A*S*H. He was one of only three Korean actors involved with the show (the other two being Philip Anh and Richard Lee-Sung. Each of these actors played a number of different Korean characters.))

Interestingly, this article also notes that Gelbart went to Korea once before in 1951. It is highly likely that this previous visit influenced the writing of Korean characters. At the time of Gelbart’s apparent visit in 1951, the Korean War would have been underway, which means that he likely saw a disaster-struck version of the country due to the destructive effects of the war. This is supported by a 1997 article in Las Vegas Sun which discusses M*A*S*H’s less than accurate depiction of Korean people from a more Korean-focused perspective. In the article, Gelbart says that he saw significant wreckage and destruction during his first visit to Korea, likely referring to his trip in 1951. It seems that the suffering and damage Gelbart witnessed upon his first visit to Korea informed the way he wrote Korean characters. But by focusing on the disasters Korean civilians faced, the rich culture they carried with them was neglected in M*A*S*H’s characterizations. The lack of dimension given to Korean characters leaves them with little in the way of individuality, so they end up defined largely by the tragedies they go through rather than by their culture or personality, an issue which the main cast of American characters on the show notably did not experience in the same way.

(A photo of Seoul in 1950, damaged as a result of the war. This is the sort of destruction Gelbart would have seen on his trip in 1951, and given that he visited a year into the war, it's possible the destruction had worsened from what this image shows.)

Ultimately, M*A*S*H targeted an American audience, and the intent was to present this audience with a very anti-war message. It is clear that a lot of effort went into accurately portraying life in a MASH unit for American doctors and soldiers. However, the show’s extremely heavy focus on American experiences in the war, while effective for advocating the futility of war to an American audience, neglected the experiences and lives of Korean people. The fact that the show began as a thinly veiled allegory for the war in Vietnam likely only amplified the problem. It is clear that the unpopularity of the Vietnam war among the American population helped drive the desire to speak out against the war in the show, but because of the political volatility of the issue at the time, the Korean War made for a backdrop that CBS would find more acceptable. This was particularly because it allowed for the anti-war stance to be phrased in a more generalized manner, which slightly softened the blow of its political intentions.

However, the intense focus on this stance centered the experiences of Americans, and its broader generalization only further pushed Korean experiences to the wayside. In a very unfortunate way, this effect in itself is somewhat of an unintentional commentary on American involvement in wars. M*A*S*H, with its American writers, characters, and audience, aimed to send a message about the useless tragedy of war, using Korea as a means. But because the goal of the show was so centered in American politics, the events of the show centered American experiences as well. This often left Korean people misrepresented to the American population in the process, the same way foreign countries are frequently misrepresented to the American public when America enters a war in order to further some political or economic doctrine.

(Nurses from the 8055th MASH unit in the Korean War. A surgeon from this unit wrote the original book which inspired the M*A*S*H movie and later also the TV series. On their trip to South Korea, Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds visited the unit and spoke with its members. They also spoke with some former members of the unit in the US to use their experiences as inspiration for episode plot lines.)

Furthermore, while M*A*S*H does have a number of episodes which tackle the issue of racism, they generally feature a domestically American brand of it. This was remarkably progressive for its time and place, but it was also American-centric, focusing on America’s issues with racism domestically while forgetting how those issues impact America’s interactions with other countries. Overall, M*A*S*H was remarkably progressive in the context of domestic American politics, but outside of that context, it was noticeably less so. The way the show’s characterization is frequently brilliant with American characters while falling short with Korean ones, as well as the American-centric political motivations that influenced the show, are indicative of a larger pattern of self-centeredness which has long permeated American society.

As globalization and cultural exchange become increasingly widespread in our world, it is important to recognize that historically this exchange has not happened in an equitable or balanced fashion. As Americans, we often expect people in foreign countries to have a certain level of knowledge about our culture while insisting that it should be acceptable for us to have a far more limited knowledge of theirs. The performatively individualized nature of our society causes us to lack community and fall into traps of self absorbed thinking, and as a result we do not hold ourselves to the same expectations for cultural understanding that we frequently level at others. Even when we try to have progressive political discussions, our focus on domestic political issues often blinds us to the impact our political problems can have on the rest of the world. Even if American pop culture was not as widespread as it is, it would still be important to make sure we put the same effort into depicting other people around the world as we do into depicting ourselves, for the sake of being respectful and building a more open minded world. But particularly because of the influence that American pop culture often has, it is not only disrespectful but irresponsible to misrepresent other cultures in our media.

In the case of M*A*S*H, Korean culture was relatively unknown in America at the time the show was on air. Today, because of the Korean Wave and the rise in popularity of K-pop music in America, awareness of Korean culture among the American public has likely increased from what it was when M*A*S*H was airing on television. Of course the offensiveness of poorly done depictions of other cultures are reason enough that we need to correct these mistakes, and of course we should not rely on television and movies to inform our perspectives. But the influence American media has on our mental mapping of other countries makes it even more important to get things right. In a world where cultures are being shared with increasing frequency and openness, giving foreign characters the same effort and accuracy we give American ones is the least we can do to start making this exchange more balanced.
