Astro Observations

misc. (ii)

🐉 Narcissists may have Mars-Uranus aspects in their chart. Mars’s energy can be either constructive or destructive; pair that with Uranus' erratic quality, and it could make one manipulative. In my opinion, Mars & Uranus having more harsh aspects to multiple other planets could further confirm this. Look out for squares, especially Moon square Mars!

🐉 Sun harsh aspects to Neptune, even conjunction can be somewhat superficial. Neptune may bless them with a mystique that attracts public attention, but they stick to a surface-level public persona. Artists with these aspects may stick to cookie-cutter projects. E.g. Colleen Hover responding to criticism by saying 'I write to entertain not to educate'. Jake Paul also has this aspect. In worst cases there's a delusional egotism to this aspect. On the other hand, easy aspects will be more willing to go within and proudly display their shadows, creating art that is meaningful and leaves a lasting legacy.

🐉 I've observed Scorpio Sun/ Moon in charts of those who backhandedly bully people over things like their appearance. Water Moons in general are capable of inflicting deep emotional wounds to others when unevolved. Having Mercury in a fire sign makes it a lot worse since the words become harsher. I've had a Scorpio Sun - Pisces Moon girl admit to me that she makes fun of people because she had the same done to her while growing up.

🐉 Libra MC are often told they should be models. Understandable because they're so photogenic!

🐉 Pluto-Ascendant easy aspects & conjunction are always reinventing themselves. It's easier for these people to let go of things that don't serve them and realign themselves with their inner true selves. They're skilled at coming to terms with their dark sides and alchemizing it to create a positive impact in the world.

🐉 On the contrary, harsh aspects may feel like they can't be themselves due to external factors or a certain image/ aesthetic that they have to uphold. Some may be child actors/ activists or made it big in early years making it hard to disrupt their public persona. It's way harder for them to branch out within their career field. Ascendant at 0° might have the same effect. E.g. Billie Eilish, Demi Lovato, Finn Wolfhard, Darsheel Safary, Malala Yousafzai, Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff.

🐉 I've seen so many takes on the 0° & most people romanticizing it somehow. It may manifest in a divine way for those who are self-aware/ have evolved. however MOST people aren't. So it gives a somewhat negative quality to the placement, e.g. Jake Paul has his MC at 0°.

🐉 Moon-Pluto aspects not only symbolize a strained relationship with the mother but also with other women. A lot of trauma you accumulated while growing up was because of the women around you. Some of them may have made you feel bad about yourself because they were threatened by you. The signs Moon & Pluto are in could give more context, e.g. Aries Moon, Sag. Pluto = invalidating your anger, not letting you be yourself and forcing you to be someone they like, forcing religion on you from a young age etc.

🐉 Uranus square MC will have a career-ruining public scandal at least once. All I can say is avoid doing shady stuff and if it's external factors beyond your control, handle it with grace, lay low, you'll get your chance to shine again.

🐉 Moon square Lilith is an enemy placement. Moon person hates Lilith person's guts because Lilith person may have hurt them in some way. Moon could want revenge on Lilith for what they did.

🐉 Venus-Saturn aspects may have had people criticize their appearance while growing up, but they end up having insane glow-ups. Their most attractive years come somewhat later in life and they age very gracefully.

🐉 Moon in Cancer/ Moon conjunct Jupiter people possess the ability to manipulate, sometimes on a mass level. It's on them to use their emotional superpowers to influence people in a positive way and not just keep banking on their victim narratives. Nonetheless, these people can hold public interest for a long time.

🐉 Venus in 10th House synastry is often a clout/ PR couple. E.g. Glenn Powell & Sydney Sweeney.

[calciumcryptid]

Here is a collection of my thoughts about We Are ships sex lives because I, an asexual, have them for some reason and need to get them out- (What is We Are doing to me?)

TANFANG

According to novel fans, Tan is the top and Fang is a power bottom; however, the show implies Fang is the top. This means the correct answer is they are switches, but we knew that.

Tan loves to get romantic with Fang. Rose petals, scented candles, whether in the bathroom or in the bedroom Tan commits to the most tender of sex. It is canon Tan does the come hither motion, and as much as Fang puts up a fight he adores it.

Though some days Fang gets into his head about the balance of their relationship and encourages Tan to take. Sometimes, Fang just wants Tan to use his dick like a joystick, and Tan is more than happy to jump into his lap.

Their relationship started from mutual punching, and their canon (implied) sex scene has them wrestling. Therefore, they are the roughest couple in bed. They absolutely have a mutual marking kink shown through hickies and flat-out bites. Some flavor of BDSM, though they (or any of the couples) aren't hardcore with it.

Aftercare game is strong with these two, and they preen at being the one to take care of the other with their mutual taking care of each other kink.

QTOEY

They have sex but in a very (demi)aro(demi)ace way if that makes sense? They have a code in their phone for when one of them is horny and it is "Draw me like one of your Thai boys" (Toey came up with it, Q couldn't think of anything better).

When they do have sex in their own private enclosure and not in Peem's childhood home, it is very artistic. Q has painted Toey's nudes (the only nudes of his boyfriend he has), and he hung it up in their bedroom (fortunately, they aren't the hangout house so they don't have to mad dash to hide it). Q has painted Toey's skin as foreplay, change my mind (you can't).

Before the nudes were painted, Q joked Toey should get dolled up for it and something inside Toey pinged. Since then, Q will teasingly call Teoy "doll" alongside his usual "muse". Their closet has a section dedicated to lingerie (honestly, most of the time they don't even fuck in them. Q just likes drawing and painting tasteful nudes of his boyfriend, and Toey likes being Q's model).

Regardless, the actual action is full of reverence and body worship and Q insists on fucking Toey in natural light because it makes him look more gorgeous than he already is. They have the weakest aftercare game, but considering the couples they're up against it isn't a surprise. Most points are deducted for Q vowing to never paint Toey again as he scrubs his boyfriend's skin. Toey giggles knowing he'll convince Q otherwise.

PHUMPEEM

It doesn't matter what the novel/series says, Phum is a bottom. He wants to be in Peem's lap and monopolize all his attention. Riding is his favorite sex position. The man wants to be railed by his hot artist boyfriend, and can we blame him? (Peem really likes it when Phum is on his back because Phum's hair is a national treasure.)

They do have some pet play going on. It isn't super hardcore, but it is there. After all, Peem canonically calls Phum "puppy" and I think Phum should get to call Peem "kitten" (turnabout is fair play).

There is a reason I placed PhumPeem's section after QToey, and it is because Phum was the person Toey asked to go lingerie shopping with him (lets be real, Toey is not going on his own the first time and Phum is the least embarrassing option). Phum comes home with a few things of his own, and Peem is relentless with the pillow princess teasing as he rails his boyfriend.

PhumPeem are tied with TanFang on best aftercare game, because both couples have a mutual taking care of each other kink.

Oh, right, they have sex on the beach at some point. Also, they are known for fucking in any body of water they can (which wasn't what Peem meant by the water being his safe place, but he's not arguing).

CHAINPUN

They are the kinkiest couple here.

They may not be the most consistently kinky, but they are the most varied. All Pun has to do is bat his eyelashes at Chain, and Chain will indulge Pun in his latest fantasy. Out of all of them, they are the most likely to commit to actual roleplay scenarios. The most often one, of course, being a doctor one (though Chain will make sure to remind Pun he isn't that type of doctor). It doesn't matter though because Pun finds him immensely sexy in the coat.

Although they do get up to roleplay, sometimes Chain wants to spend his time adoring Pun. The body worship is off the charts with these two, and Chain makes sure to love and worship every inch of Pun. Pun loves it, and preens under the adoration though Chain can be torturous in his foreplay.

Soft top Chain, but we all know that.

Honestly, there isn't a couple in We Are that doesn't go all out for aftercare. ChainPuns includes cuddling and snuggling under the covers, and Chain ensures Pun is fed.

MAIN MASTERLIST

"Okay guys, I'm really excited right now because we have the one and only CLOVER, all the way from the UK and making her debut American television appearance here at the VMAs!" an interviewer for Entertainment Tonight introduced me to the camera whilst other celebrities arrived and walked the pink carpet.

"Hi!" I greeted her politely and waved at the camera. I felt so excited to be here at the VMAs, my first time in America and it was on such a well known awards show, I couldn't believe it. I hoped my fans liked my bold type of outfit too, a beautiful black gown with a daring slit up the side where it rested against my thigh.

"Welcome to the US, CLOVER! We're so happy to have you here, how are you finding it?" the interviewer asked me, holding the mic out.

"It's big. America is so much bigger than I expected it to be, especially compared to back home," I said with wide eyes, wearing a shocked expression on face which made the woman opposite me laugh.

"That's right, you've come all the way over here from England, right? How excited are you to perform here?" she asked me.

"I'm incredibly nervous, if I'm honest haha. There's so much talent here so I just hope that people will enjoy what I bring too," I smile, wiping my hands down on my dress awkwardly. I really hoped the camera didn't somehow pick up the sight of my sweaty palms.

"Well I've seen some of your performances before and let me just say, I'm a big fan myself!" she confessed, which made me heart feel warm.

"Wow thank you so much!" I blushed, hands clasped together now. I really couldn't stop fidgeting with them.

"I mean, you've been nominated for best new artist! That must feel amazing right?" she smiled at me.

"It really does, to be nominated for an award, let alone perform here is just beyond my imagination. Like Ice Spice, Peso Pluma, Pink Pantheress my UK sister is nominated too! It's crazy!" I exclaim, hoping I'd meet my fellow UK artist too, not realising that later on I'd meet a different honorary British artist.

"Speaking of, is there anyone else you're excited to see here today?" the interviewer leaned towards me, like she was ready for any gossip.

"Wow, pretty much everyone!" I laughed, "but I'd have to say Demi for sure! I'm excited to see them perform I've loved their music for years! Also Maneskin and there's Stray Kids and TXT too! I'm so excited for Stray Kids oh my god..." I ramble, waving my hands in the air as I talk excitedly, unable to hide my big smile.

"Stray Kids certainly seem to be stealing everyone's hearts this year, I spoke to them earlier, and... wow," the interviewer laughed with me, and it felt like having a conversation with a friend at that point.

"I don't blame you haha," I giggled.

"Well, thank you so much for chatting with us, CLOVER, we'll see you out there later tonight, best of luck!" she smiled at me before turning to the camera and ending the interview. I waved bye to her and the camera and walked round the corner, heading backstage with my manager and taking a deep breath in.

It all felt so surreal, I was sure I caught a glance of Taylor Swift and waved and smiled at her, shocked to have gotten the same actions returned and squealed, unable to help myself as I jumped around and bumped into someone behind me.

"I'm so sorry!"

"Oh my god sorry!"

We both apologised at the same time. And when I turned around to see who it was I thought I was going to spontaneously combust right there and then.

It was Felix of Stray Kids.

"Felix?!"

"CLOVER?!"

What. The. He knew who I was?

"Oh, you know Stray Kids?" he asked me shocked, an adorable expression on his face as he helped me rebalance myself, I was wearing heels after all.

"I should be asking you the same question, I've been listening to you guys for years!" I gushed, probably embarrassing myself a bit but Felix didn't seem to react to that, seeming to get excited himself.

"You have? Wow... Stray Kids are such huge fans of your music, we really love your songs," Felix happily explained to me, still holding onto my hands as he waved them excitedly.

"No way... that's insane!" I couldn't put everything I was thinking into words.

"Tell me about it," he laughed, pulling his hands away to scratch the back of his neck.

"Felix!" the other members walked over, not noticing me at first, which was lucky otherwise they would have seen me looking at them like they were ghosts.

"We've been looking everywhere for you!" Bang Chan patted his shoulders, speaking in Korean and then turned to see me, a shocked expression painting his face.

"Sorry I didn't mean to be keeping Felix," I then spoke back in Korean, some of the members seeming to jump back in shock at hearing their native language.

"Woah, CLOVER?! Wait, you speak Korean?!" Han bounced on his feet, beaming at me.

"Yeah my best friend is Korean so I ended up learning it, definitely helped when watching you guys. This is just like a dream, I can't tell you how amazing it is to meet you guys!" I felt myself getting almost hyper by seeing them in front of me.

"We could say the same to you! We're all big fans of you!" Changbin stepped up, whilst some of the other members stood back nervously.

"If I'm being honest I didn't believe Felix when he told me that," I shook my head in disbelief.

"Well believe it now," Seungmin laughed, seeming to feel more comfortable now.

"I'm so hyped to see you guys perform tonight! How are you feeling?" I asked them, feeling more confident now as the ice had been broken.

"I think we're nervous but we're going to do our best out there," Lee Know shyly admitted.

"We could do with some words of encouragement, could you say Stray Kids hwaiting?" Han asked cheekily.

"Han we've just met her, don't scare her away," Hyunjin did his iconic laugh.

"It's fine, it's fine haha. Stray Kids hwaiting!!!" I cheered for them and they all clapped for me after, making me blush and hide my face.

"Your Korean is really good," Jeongin commented.

"Thank you, well, like I said, it's all thanks to my friend. She's so cute, she'd cheer me on before every gig I used to do like, CLOVER hwaiting!!" I share, hoping they wouldn't find it weird how I'm rambling on.

"Hahaha, that's cute, is she a stay too?" Bang Chan asked hopefully.

"Oh, big time! She's the reason I got to know your music and watch your variety stuff too," I nod back at him. They all let out sounds of amazement.

"You watch our other stuff?" Changbin asked shocked.

"Yeah! I'm a big fan of SKZ Code!" I admit sheepishly.

"Wow that's a good friend you got there," Seungmin nods, smirking.

"She's the best, she's supported me through my music the whole time," I grin, thinking about my best friend. I wish she could have come to America with me but she was too busy.

"Are you planning on releasing any new music soon?" Felix asks me.

"Well, I'll let you in on a secret, I'm working on some right now!" I fake whisper to them, but it didn't really matter. I was speaking to them in Korean at this point so it wasn't very likely anyone backstage would expose the fact.

"You are? Wow I'm looking forward to it already, you have such a unique sound," Han praises my music, making me a hold a hand over my heart.

"Wow that honestly means a lot coming from you guys. You have such a unique sound too and it inspired me to go with the direction I really wanted to in my music," I compliment them, seeing their eyes light up.

"Thank you! Have you ever thought of collabing with another artist?" Changbin asks, seeming to be hinting at something as Minho pats his shoulder warningly.

"Well, now that you've brought it up, I've always wanted to make some songs with you guys," I confess shyly, blushing even more when they all ask 'really'?!

"That would be amazing, I think we could create something great together," Bang Chan nods, a more professional tone as he thinks about their music.

"Perfect! Well I have to go now, but I could get our managers to exchange numbers?" I say, realising I should be getting ready to find my seat.

"We'd love that!" Felix claps his hands together happily.

"Great! Well it was lovely to meet you guys!" I wave as I start to walk away, before I turn snack around quickly and call over to them, "oh, by the way Han, thanks for representing us British Stays, your accent is the best," I daringly tease, giggling to myself as I walk away.

I felt like I was on cloud nine. I met my favourite people in the world... and we were going to try and collab together. It really doesn't get better than this.

Except it does.

For my performance I had changed into a beautiful green dress to match the nature filled scene behind me, performing one of my songs called 'Salvia'. It was a reassuring song to comfort a partner, before the scene behind me started showing dying flowers as I transitioned into a song called 'Rotten to the Core', the pure opposite of the first song. As I ended the performance I saw Stray Kids up and applauding for me, and I smiled and nodded in their direction.

Then I saw them perform too. And the remix they did blew my mind. I was so happy they were getting recognition from other artists too, who may not have seen them before. And I returned my admiration for their performance as I gave a standing ovation of my own, seeing them look my way too.

It all felt like a dream. The future was really looking up, especially with a collaboration with my favourite people in the midst of it all.

Hi! Welcome back!

Can you write where the Hantengu clones catch their roommate walking around half naked because she thought no one was home (can be separate or together, whatever you prefer 😊)?

【♛demie: im going to include this to my hantengu quad squad college au because i read the word roommate and assumed it was for this. i will be doing their reactions separately lol i hope you enjoy this my love! ( ͡♥ 3 ͡♥)】

hantengu brothers reaction to you being half naked

characters: sekido, karaku, aizetsu, urogi, & fem!reader

synopsis: the hantengu brothers catch their roommate walking around half naked.

contents: sfw, swearing, suggestive themes (?)

notes: reader is a female. reader's pronouns are she/her. the hantengu clones are all human in this. they are depicted as quadruplet brothers. they are depicted as having tan and dark skin. they are all in college and their ages are 22.

P.S. I KNOW THE PICTURES IM USING THEY HAVE PALE SKIN, BUT THE ARTIST DREW IT BEFORE THE ANIME WAS RELEASED AND THESE ARE THE ONLY PICTURES THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS.

Today was Sekido's personal day, it was a time off he had away from school, away from work, and most importantly away from his obnoxious, annoying younger brothers. He had put in a request to his job to have this day solely off, he picked this day because it was a holiday away from school, and threatened texted his brothers not to be at the house because he wanted to be at home alone. If they had any complaints against it they could, and his own words, "Kiss his ass"

Although it appeared that the only person Sekido forgot to tell that he was home alone was you. Their only female roommate.

He woke up that late-morning in a particularly good mood. The eldest of the quadruplets did his usual morning routine. He washed his face with a dermatologist recommended sensitive skin facial wash then applied an SPF 30 lotion on his face. He took out his mouth guards that he uses to keep from grinding away at his teeth at night and placed them into a container. As he exits his personal bathroom, Sekido went into his bedroom to grab his laundry basket filled to the brim with dirty clothes.

He carries the basket to the laundry room, expecting for it to be unoccupied and the washer and dryer to be empty. Except for when he slides the door open, he's stunned to say the least, to see you in there. It wasn't that Sekido was surprised to see you, since he knew that you lived there with them, but it was surprising for him to see what exactly you were wearing.

You were only in your sports bra and boy-shorts.

Your back was turned to him, and you had your Airpods in as you were listening to music. You were finishing up your laundry that you had started from the previous night, moving clothes from the washing machine into the dryer. As you were moving clothes from machine to machine, and machine to basket, you were wiggling your hips to the beat of the music that played.

Sekido's face felt warm as he witnessed you bending over at the hip to reach into the dryer and gather your clean clothes just to toss them into a basket next to you. He wasn't as sexually-inclined as his brothers Karaku and Urogi were, but when he saw you bent over like that, Sekido had to control himself from pouncing on you.

He clears his throat and softly stutters, "Y-Y/N," You didn't hear him so he said your name louder, "Y/N," Again you didn't hear and Sekido growls in frustration before shouting, "Y/N!"

The vibrations of your name being shouted pulled you out of your trance and you plucked an Airpod out of your ear. You looked over your shoulder to see Sekido standing in the threshold of the laundry room holding a basket of clothes.

A radiant smile grew on your face, and you greet your fellow roommate, "Mornin' Se-ki-do!" your pleasant and sweet voice sings to him jubilantly.

He grumbles, "It's Sekido. W-Why are you here today and why are you not wearing any clothes?"

You look down at your outfit, "I am wearing clothes Sekido, what are you talking about?"

"You're walking around here naked! Do you always do that when we're not around?"

"I'm not naked, Sekido, I'm wearing clothes."

He huffs and turns his attention away from you, "Whatever! Are you going to be here all day then?"

You shrug your shoulders, "Pretty much, yeah," and nod your head.

"Ugh!"

His other brothers were gone for the evening. Sekido had to work late, Aizetsu was tutoring with some girl, and Urogi was at the gym working out. So for Karaku it seemed like the perfect time for him to walk around in his underwear. Most of the time he would just strut through the house in his grey sweatpants, nothing underneath, and would get chastised by Sekido because his dick would be swinging about.

Like bro, why are you looking at his dick? Weirdo.

Karaku walked out of his bedroom that night only wearing his black boxer-briefs and headed into the kitchen. It was the only opportunity he had to almost free-ball. The second oldest Hantengu brother had free reign to do what he wanted.

He just forgot to remind you, their female roommate, that he was home walking around like this. Though to his surprise he wasn't the only one that decided to walk around the house half-naked. In fact, he wasn't the only one who thought they were alone.

There you were in the kitchen, eating your favorite flavor of ice cream out of the pint. You were dressed in your bra and underwear, something more revealing than your usual modest clothes. You locked eyes with Karaku and jolted when you saw that he was in the house. You thought you had the house to yourself.

He didn't show any sort of surprise or shock like you did. He didn't even scramble to leave the kitchen. Instead he just barked out a laugh, "Hey there twin!"

"What the fuck! Karaku, what are you doing here? I thought you had left for the gym!"

Karaku pouted, "That was Urogi that left for the gym, babe, not me." He goes over to the fridge and searches inside for a snack, "Did you forget that I work out in the early morning?"

Oh yeah that was right. He did work out in the early mornings. You remember now. You poke your spoon into your ice cream pint and take another bite before asking him, "Why are you walking around in your underwear?"

"Touché, honey," He replies to you and he whips out last night's leftovers from the refrigerator to toss it into the microwave. "What are your plans for tonight?"

You shrug your shoulders, "Literally nothing. Why do you ask?"

He grinned at you, "Wanna watch an episode of Chainsaw Man together?"

You couldn't say no to watch one of your favorite anime shows.

"This is absurd," Aizetsu grumbles as he pushes back the sofa in the living room to clean underneath it. "Completely absurd." He grimaces at the trash revealed on the wooden floor. There's opened packages of chips, candy wrappers, and if he squints just hard enough he could see a used condom.

This sucks. He hates that Sekido had given him the chore to clean their living room. Especially when Aizetsu had already did Karaku's and Urogi's assigned chores. Of course the twins offered him money in exchange for doing them, but having to do their work was annoying from time to time. He had his own things to do, and doing his brothers chores wasn't one of them.

But alas they needed to keep the house clean because they had a new roommate among them. A female at that. A girl that all of the brothers, including Sekido, liked because she was only on time with the rent money, tipped in to pay the utilities, and helped around the house when it came to cooking and cleaning.

Speaking of you, Aizetsu wondered where you were today since it was one of your days off from your classes. He didn't see you this morning during breakfast and it was getting to be in the afternoon so you must have went out for the day.

As he was sweeping up the trash on the floor, Aizetsu's back was facing you when you had walked into the living room to take a seat on the couch.

"Aah!" You shrieked, "Aizetsu!"

He was startled by your scream and looked over his shoulder at you with a timid smile. "H-Hey Y/N-" he stopped himself when he saw that you were wearing nothing but your bra and underwear. In your hand, a half-eaten sandwich. "O-Oh I'm sorry for looking!" He screams as he drops the broom and covers his eyes with his hands.

You retort, "I thought no one was supposed to be home! Why are you here?"

"Because I needed to clean the living room it's messy in here! Look you can just d-do you th-thing okay? I'm not going to look at you, I promise!"

You peeked your head out into the hallway from your bedroom's door threshold trying to see if any of the quadruplets were home. It didn't appear to be so. You didn't hear rambunctious yelling or boisterous laughing coming from anywhere. So you assumed that they were all gone for the day. Sweet.

You stepped out of your bedroom just wearing your bra and underwear. You figured since you had the house to yourself, walking around like this shouldn't be a problem. Plus with the brothers gone you could get some school work done without Urogi or Karaku pestering you for answers to simple questions.

A sigh went past your lips as you went into the kitchen and made yourself a quick breakfast. When you were done with that, you entered back into the hallway and nearly had your heart jump out of your chest when you saw a shadow figure go into Urogi's room.

You stood there quiet. It was just you in the house, so whoever or whatever this is was probably an intruder. You gently place your breakfast on an end table beside you, and grabbed a hold of Sekido's tall umbrella.

You stalked in the direction of Urogi's bedroom, holding the umbrella over your shoulder and pushed open his door. Your vigilant eyes saw a back facing you and a shadow rummaging through Urogi's belongings in his drawer.

Without thinking or announcing your presence you whacked the "intruder" with the umbrella.

"Ow! What the fuck!"

"Get out of my house you fucking bastard! I'll kill you!" You shout as you attack him with the umbrella and got him to the floor.

"Hey! Stop it! Y/N stop! It's me Urogi damnnit!"

You pause with the umbrella lifted over your head and were surprised to see your roommate, Urogi, laying on the floor on his back. You lowered your weapon and smile to him bashfully. "Whoops, heh heh, I thought you were a burglar..."

Urogi frowns at you and scoots away so he could stand up on his feet. His body was aching from the numerous times you hit him with the damned umbrella. "What the hell man? That really frickin' hurt ya know?" He rubbed his arm, and then his eyes dawned on your outfit. The youngest quadruplet chuckled, "Good thing to know I'm not the only one who sleeps naked though."

That earned him another hit with the umbrella to the head.

Moot appreciation post!

And here! My sona!!

MY BOUNDARIES:

Moot ≠ Friend. If I consider you a friend, I will ask of you consider me a friend. Or vis versa. While I enjoy all my moots, I don't use the word 'friend' lightly, and require a bond with someone before I consider them a friend. So please if you want to be friends, ask!

Moot ≠ DM me whenever. I do not like getting DMs randomly. You can ask for DMs, and that's fine. And if we've DM'd before, or you're a friend/online family, you can DM me whenever! (I've legit unfollowed people for being too pushy w/ DMs, don't test me please!)

Friend ≠ Online Family. Please please please PLEASE do not tell me I'm part of your online family, it feels like a relationship (/p) is being forced on me!! The ONLY people I consider family are: Inka, and her partners Italic and Juno. (<- I haven't talked much to Juno though sadly.) And My twin, my brother Argos, Rick, (He's my best friend to me.) Casey, and my platonic spouse Aph.

Talking about NSFW: That is, an EXTREMELY private and sometimes triggering topic to me. ONLY with my very very close friends would I ever be comfortable talking about that. Do NOT make sexual jokes towards me, that's a good way to get blocked. /nm/srs

Also, I am highly uncomfortable being called a lesbian!! Please refrain from doing such!!

Girly pop, dudette, gurl/girly, lady, miss, mrs, ms—Feminine terms are off the table. Please don't use them on me!

Tagging: Tag games take a ton of mental energy for me!! While it's VERY appreciated and welcome to tag me in things, please don't be hurt if I don't reply back!!

Tone tags appreciated!!

Try to TW stuff before showing me/sending asks if it's triggering! 👍

Animals Without Direction

Chapter Thirty-Five: Sunset

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Masterlist

The day went by too fast.

One moment you were opening your eyes in bed, the next, you were standing in Changbin’s office with him, Hyunjin, and Jeongin. The Squire arrived a few hours before the rest of his legion. 

The commander stood behind his desk, his head hung low.

Anyone passing by might think he’s looking down to analyze the map.

But, you three know better. His head is hung low in despair. He’s trying his best to find any positivity in the situation, but he can’t. 

The sun is setting.

An orange glow settles in the room.

Such romantic lighting for your last sunset. 

“Jeongin, I want your legion charging in after ours, but I will need a portion of your archers to station at the top of the hill with the first battalion to assist with my own.”

You can’t even stand outside and watch as the sun sets behind the hill and really appreciate how gorgeous it is. 

“I will lead the charge with all soldiers on horseback to make sure we have the element of speed at our aid.”

Wouldn’t it be so convenient if we were always told when we were experiencing our lasts? Our last meal, our last sunset, our last time tasting sweet honeyed ale while singing in a crowded tavern?

Perhaps you’re lucky. You know it’s your last sunset.

“After our numbers begin to dwindle, a second legion will be deployed and follow the same attack.”

The stone window in the wall faces the south, you can’t even see the sun.

“Jeongin, after that I leave it to your judgment when you will join our aid.”

Is the sunset doing that thing where some of the clouds tinge purple? Are the sun’s rays cutting through the clouds like holy daggers? How many soldiers outside are taking a moment to appreciate it?

“Our main goal is to sandwich the Mercy Division between the Fort and our forces.”

You always preferred sunsets to sunrises. Maybe that’s because you hated waking up early to watch them. 

Does the world itself hate waking up the same way that you do? No, the trees and flowers probably love it.

“If we retreat, we retreat to the north into Bewaes.”

It’s such a shame there’s no window in here that faces the west. It’s probably gorgeous outside. Somehow the sky always knows when to produce the most amazing sunsets. 

“If the interior legion is able to escape, they should do so at any cost if a retreat signal is called.”

How many sunsets were you actually able to sit and watch in your lifetime? Not just look at, but actually sit there and watch . Watch as the sky changes from color to color. Watch as a new painting unfolds before your eyes every second.

“The Horn of Miroh will be blown three times in succession if we are to retreat. Do not retreat unless the horn is sounded…”

Nothing compares to the natural beauty of the world. 

“The interior legion will only be a squadron of twenty soldiers. We only want to give the illusion of a full fort.”

When you were little, your mother told you that when an artist dies, Uddos, the demi-god in charge of Utrium, lets them paint the sky one last time. 

Is that where you’ll be going when the Mercy Division takes your life tomorrow?

Will you be allowed to enter the silver gates of Utrium? Or will you be sent to rot in the Void with Ytris?

“Twelve archers, six foot soldiers… one mage… and one mercenary.”

An eternity in the Void won’t be too bad. Who knows who you might see down there.

“Take out as many Mercy Division soldiers as you can before we arrive. We will do our best to get to you all before… before anything should happen.”

Still, there are no sunsets in the Void. So, this really is your last one.

Was. It was . 

The room is darker now, the sun is behind the hill. All that’s left is the cold chill of December the eleventh. 

“May the Six guide and protect us all.”

Each voice in the room comes out together, including your own.

“For Miroh.”

------------------------------------------

All of your armor lay polished before you.

It’s laid out on your bed perfectly. The thick leather still looks relatively new. You’ve only had it for a little over two months. It was what you bought with your first pouch of gold from the Jarl. . 

It’s like your feet are rooted to the stone floor beneath you, your eyes won’t move from the clothing. 

You stand clad in your simple trousers and tunic. You wrapped your chest tightly before pulling the tunic over your head.

Thick, wool socks are snug around your feet in your boots.

All of your hair has been pulled up into a tie behind your head.

Your sword and shield are on the floor, propped against the foot of the bed.

You’ve geared up a million times before. It feels like armor is permanently strapped to your body at all times. It’s like a second skin.

But still, you hesitate. 

This is the armor you die in.

…

It’s so… plain . Besides your gauntlets, everything else looks like generic mercenary armor. It’s the same armor you would’ve bought back when you lived in Erbus.

Maybe you should have sprung the extra hundred gold to have Miroh’s crest smithed into the tabard.

A small huff leaves your nose in a humorless laugh.

How ironic, really. When you purchased this armor, you wanted nothing more than to blend in with society, you didn’t want people to know of your position on the court. But now, looking down at your boring, dull armor, you feel a deep desire to be known. To proudly display who you are and who you fight for.

It’s not that you want a target on your back, persay. But you want the Mercy Division to understand who they’re dealing with.

Y/N of Miroh.

Time changes everything, really. 

“Forgotten how to put it on?”

A voice behind you makes you jump, your hand coming up over your heart in surprise as you whip around to face the door.

There stood Jeongin, leaning against the door frame. His steel gauntlet covered arms crossed over his chest. 

The candlelight in the room shines off his own polished armor, he absolutely screams ‘court status’. He seems so much bigger covered in all that steel. When you were a youngling, you probably would’ve gawked at him in the street.

Gone was the sly boy you met months ago. Now, you’re looking at a full grown man. War has changed him completely. Everything is different except his eyes, they still hold the same mischievous glint.

Jisung used to joke that Jeongin looks like he always knows a secret about everyone.

Everything down to the chainmail fits Jeongin well. All that’s missing is his helmet. 

Chan would be proud. He’d also be fretting over tiny details, like his shoulder straps not being tight enough, or his sword belt sitting crookedly on his hips. 

“Nay,” you laugh quietly and turn back to your armor. “Just… hesitant to begin something for the final time.”

“Final time?” Jeongin closes the door behind him as he walks inside. His heavy boots thud on the floor as he walks closer to you. Buckles and clasps clink against one another. 

“Do not act aloof.”

“I am not.”

You shake your head gently. “This is the final time I will be putting my armor on. Do not begin to lie with me, Jeongin. We both know I am not making it out of this battle tomorrow.” 

He hesitates and his breath catches in his throat. You hear him swallow thickly. 

The squire stops behind you, you can feel his shaky exhales on the back of your neck. 

“You do not know that. Hyunjin is not speaking this way.”

You roll your eyes. “He will not speak about it with you, he does not want to scare you.”

“Y/N, why do you have such little faith?”

“Being placed in the interior legion is a suicide mission,” you whisper back.

“It is not.”

“I will be the diversion that allows you all to choke the Mercy Division from behind.”

“Y/N…”

“I can only hope for a quick death.”

“Y/N.”

“I fear more for Hyunjin than I, only The Six know what they would do to a pure blooded Elf.”

“ Y/N. ” 

Two hands firmly grab your shoulders and spin you around to face him. Your eyes are ripped away from your staged armor and drawn up to dark, stormy, anxiety filled stone gray ones. 

“Stop this madness, YN,” he pleads with you, shaking you a bit. “You will not die tomorrow. Not if I have anything to say about it.”

A sad smile blooms on your lips. Your hand comes up to cup his cheek softly. His skin is so warm compared to your cold fingers— Seungmin was the one that always pointed out how cold your fingers always are. 

“Jeongin, lying to yourself will only make it worse. You will lead the forces from behind and I will keep them distracted for as long as I breathe. After that, I am in The Six’s hands.”

“Where has your hope gone, Y/N?” His voice cracks, his eyes getting glassy.

“My hope has gone nowhere, squire, it lies here in the palm of my hand.” Your thumb swipes over his cheek, right underneath his eye. “I would not so willingly offer my life if I did not have hope in you, in Changbin, in Miroh .”

“The exterior legions will come to your aid and we will find victory together, Y/N. I will find you as soon as I can and we will fight together until every one of those bastards are dead.” His grip on your arms tighten as he shakes you slightly.

Desperation is so thick in his voice, you’re surprised he's not choking on it. More tears well up in the corner of his eyes.

“Jeongin, you cannot focus on finding me in the heat of battle, you need to keep your eyes on victory and nothing else. Do not waste your time defending one soldier.”

“One s–!” He chokes on the word and his voice cracks. Jeongin drags you even closer to him, one of his hands comes up to cup your cheek desperately. His neck is craning down to bring his face even closer to yours. 

“You are not simply ‘one soldier,” he spits out. “You are Y/N, Jarl Bang’s personal mercenary. Member of Miroh’s court. You are a friend, a family member, a cherished love and special place in my heart as well as everyone else’s.”

“Jeongin, please.”

“We love you so much, Y/N, please, please. ”

Your throat tightens, your other hand comes up and threads into Jeongin’s hair. It’s always so soft, no matter what.

“I love you all just as much, Jeongin, I do. You have all shown me that my life is worth more than I thought.”

Jeongin’s eyes close, his lips pull into a sneer as he holds back tears. His face leans further into your touch. 

“You have all taught me to value what is important and to fight for what my heart believes is right. I fight for my people tomorrow. I want to meet the Mercy Division head on. I want them to know terror like the type they inflict on innocent Elves.”

His one hand cups over yours to keep your touch there.

“I will use the courage and bravery given to me from fellow members of the court. I will fight with every iota of strength inside my body. And I will give my soul for Miroh tomorrow. I am so proud to be a court member, I am so proud that I can represent Miroh like this.”

Jeongin hiccups and sucks in a shaky breath, tears glisten through his eyelashes. “Y/N–”

You cut him off gently. “No, Jeongin, no.” You tuck a tuft of hair behind his ear. “Accept it now so it hurts less tomorrow.”

He says nothing. 

He only lets the tears fall down his cheeks.

His body shrinks down towards you, his shoulders slumping forward. 

In all of his armor, he now makes himself look so small. Where did that powerful squire go? He’s in a metallic shell of the person he was five minutes ago.

“I will not go without a fight, Jeongin. As long as I can throw a punch, I will fight.”

Jeongin slowly opens his eyes and peers down at you, his gaze flicks everywhere on your face. HIs jaw clenches and he quickly wraps his arms around your shoulder, yanking you into his steel covered chest.

It’s not the gentlest, or the warmest, hug. But the emotions behind it fill the physical void that his armor seems to block. His one hand cradles the back of your head, keeping you pressed in his neck. Just as quickly, your arms come up and wrap around him.

“Please, Y/N,” he whispers through his tears. “Promise me that you will keep some semblance of hope that there is a chance you make it out alive.”

You hesitate. But you nod into his neck. 

“I will hope for the best, but expect the worst, Jeongin.”

He holds you tighter. 

The flames in the sconces along the wall lick up the sides. 

Jeongin’s sniffles crack your heart more and more each second. 

He holds you so tightly to his body you would think you’re actively dying in his arms. 

Eventually, he breaks away from you, his body moving away slowly. His eyes are lined red and still glassy. There are streaks down his face from his tears.

Gently, you reach up and wipe the wetness away with the sleeve of your tunic. Jeognin says nothing, he just watches your face, memorizing each detail. It’s the same way Chan looked at you before you left. 

Like sire, like squire.

The squire takes your hand between both of his and presses a long kiss to your palm before stepping away.

He slowly walks around your body and towards your bed.

Wordlessly, he picks up your thick, leather tabard and turns to you, opening the piece and holding it out. You don’t say a word either, you only look at him for a second before stepping closer to him and holding your arms out. 

Both of your arms slide through the leather. 

Jeongin’s nimble fingers slowly move to secure each leather strap in the front. You watch his face closely.

HIs stern, grim features set in a grim line. 

One by one, the straps that secure your tabard together are tightened on your body. The squeeze is familiar and comfortable. It hugs you in all the right places to protect your muscles.

Jeognin tucks the straps through the loops and secures them there. While he adjusts minor things on your tabard, you stare at his face.

Right before your very eyes, you watch his features shift into something harder. You can almost see him coaching himself back into battle mode. His jaw clenches and his eyes get darker.

When did all the soft lines in his face get so sharp? 

One final tug to your tabard secures it in place. Jeongin turns and picks up one of your gauntlets from the bed and holds it out for you to slip your arm through. 

The heat from his body is radiating onto you. He must have just bathed before coming here, you can smell the slightest hint of ivory wafting off his skin. 

His fingers work to lace up your gauntlets. Each lace is pulled tight, but not too tight. It’s perfect, really. He’s lacing them better than you would do yourself.

It dawns on you now how much this act really means to him. Helping someone prepare for battle can be extremely emotional, especially in circumstances like this one. 

The squire is always responsible for helping their sire prepare for battle.

How many times did he do this for Chan? 

He doesn’t even hesitate in his movements to tie a knot and tuck the laces in. It’s a perfect fit. You don’t even need to move your hand around to know it's perfect. 

Before Jeongin reaches for your other gauntlet, he holds your hand in both of his, your palm still facing up.

His thumbs brush over your palm. He’s so warm. Jeongin flips your hand over and brings your knuckles up to his lips, pressing a long kiss to them.

Every muscle in his face twitches for a moment, his battle mask faltering, but just as quickly as it cracked, it slides back into place. Thickly, he swallows down any words, and then gently drops your hand.

Your second gauntlet follows the first. Jeongin laces that one just as securely.

Again, he brushes his thumbs over your palm before a firm kiss is placed on the back of your knuckles. This kiss is much longer than the last. His grip on your hand shakes a bit before he lets go.

If he clenches his jaw any tighter, his teeth might shatter. 

The next item he picks off your bed is your sword belt. The leather slides through his hands and he brings it over your head as you lift both your arms slightly to give him access to your waist.

His eyebrows twitch and furrow, his gaze dropping down to your lips only for a small second.

Once the belt is behind you, Jeongin sucks in a sharp breath and tugs it sharply, bringing your entire body into his. The metal buckles on your armor clack against his steel breastplate.

His lips meet yours so quickly it takes your breath away. 

The grip he has on your belt is tight, there’s no way that you could push away even if you wanted to. 

But, you don’t want to. 

You let your hands come up and cup his cheeks. HIs mouth moves against yours so feverishly, you can feel every ounce of his desperation. 

It’s another ‘last’. For both you and him.

Under your fingertips you feel his jaw moving while his lips slide over yours. The leather of your belt audibly squeaks and groans from how tight he’s holding it.

Jeongin brings your body as close as he can. As if he could trap you against him and not let you fall through his fingers like water. 

“I did not get enough time with you,” he whispers against your lips hoarsely before capturing them in another desperate kiss.

“One might argue you had the most time with me,” you reply in between kisses.

Jeongin doesn’t reply again, he keeps his lips locked with yours as long as possible. 

Just like him, you never want this moment to end. You want to stay inside Fort Mire with him as long as possible. You don’t want death to be lingering an arm’s length away from you at all times anymore.

You want to return to Miroh and see the court in its entirety again.

You want to sip tea with Felix while you read a book and he experiments with how different flower petals affect tonics.

You want to hear Jisung laugh at your battle stories.

You don’t want to die.

You don’t want to die.

But these are the cards you’ve been dealt.

You choke back your own tears. If Jeongin sees you cry, you’re done for; there’s no way he would let you stay in the interior legion. 

So, you pull away. 

He chases after your lips.

You give him one last peck before pulling away again.

“Nay, Jeongin,” you choke out thickly. “We have to go. You have to go.”

A strained sob comes from his throat and he rests his forehead against yours. His breath fans out on your skin.

Both of your eyes shut as you take in these final moments with one another. 

Exhales intermingle and silent emotions are exchanged. You can feel his brow furrow against your own.

You don’t need to be a mind reader to know what he’s thinking right now. But nothing he says will change your mind. And you both know it. 

The belt behind your waist begins to loosen as Jeongin’s muscles relax.

Your hands fall from his cheeks down to his metal covered chest. The steel is so cold under your touch, it’s a stark contrast from his warm, soft skin.

Jeongin hesitates before taking one tiny step back from you. He keeps his gaze down, deciding to focus on securing your sword belt to your body. He maneuvers the leather slowly, tucking it up and around before finally fastens it to your body.

He tugs on it a few times before stepping away; he leans down and picks up your sword from its place against the bed. He takes one heavy step towards you and slides it into its sheath.

Finally, your eyes meet.

You’re ready for battle, it seems. 

Your last.

You’re ready for your last.

------------------------------------------

The fort was nearly empty. 

Miroh’s forces were marching behind the hill.

You stood on top of the fort wall, watching from above, directly next to the crank that opened the gates during the first battle.

It’s December the twelfth.

The stars are out tonight, but you’re not looking up. Your eyes remain glued to the stream of soldiers proudly making their way towards where their commander told them to go.

Changbin sat on horseback directly below you. From here, you could see how the flames in the scones reflected off his armor. It’s just as polished as Jeongin’s.

The squire sat on his own horse directly next to Changbin. 

Neither of them are saying a word to the other. Both of their faces are set in firm, sharp lines as they watch their soldiers move.

“Do you regret it yet?” Hyunjin’s voice comes from behind you.

You had heard his footsteps before he spoke up.

A tiny laugh comes through your nose. “Nay, not yet. Talk to me just after sunrise and the decision may be different.”

The mage comes to stand directly next to you. His crimson cape billows in the winter breeze behind him, his blonde hair blows all around his face. 

“I wonder how the rest of the court is faring back home,” he wonders softly.

“Chan is probably beside himself.” You cross your arms over your chest and shift on your feet. They don’t stay crossed for long, you drop your hands to your sides again only after a few seconds. 

You just can’t keep still. 

“He has most likely been pacing the floor for the last three days,” Hyunjin chuckles. “If I am being honest with you, I am surprised he is not here at Fort Mire.”

“The Jarl?” You look over at the side of Hyunjin’s face.

“Aye,” he nods, looking straight ahead. “Chan loves defying odds and breaking customs. Minho probably had to tie him to the throne to keep him from leaving.”

You stay silent and then turn back to staring at the backs of the soldier’s below you. 

Any minute now, Changbin will signal for you to close the gate. 

There’s a long bout of silence between the two of you.

The world is getting quieter and quieter as less and less soldiers fill the fort. 

The sword on your hip feels so heavy all of a sudden. 

Jeongin’s horse snickers and shuffles in place.

One soldier says something to another in a hushed tone.

A few bats fly over your head and soar well past the fort. Lucky. 

Hyunjin’s knuckles brush over the back of your hand before he grabs and laces your fingers together.

Neither of you say a word to each other. You’re silently taking in the small amount of comfort he can provide by holding your hand and the same for you with him.

Suddenly, there are no soldiers leaving the gate of Fort Mire.

Changbin’s shoulders square and he takes a large breath in. His gauntlet covered hands tighten on the reins of the horse. His jaw clenches and he stares after his soldiers for a few more seconds.

Jeongin sucks in a shaky breath next to him before he clicks his tongue and ushers his horse forward. The squire doesn’t spare you one last glance. You know he can’t. If he does, he won't leave you here.

Hyunjin squeezes your hand tighter, you reciprocate.

Finally, Changbin looks up at the two of you.

Even from all the way up here, you can see how glassy his eyes are. He stares at the two of you for a long few moments. His Adam’s Apple bobs with a thick swallow. 

Your chin dips in the shallowest of nods which he returns in a more stutter-like motion, as if he’s trying to snap himself out of it.

Changbin lifts his hand and brings his fist over his heart.

Immediately, you follow suit with your free hand. Hyunjin stays still. 

The commander bows his head one last time before his horse walks away.

Your eyes don’t meet again.

Both you and Hyunjin watch his and Jeongin’s horse all the way to the hill until they finally disappear behind it.

Your heart is still beating, somehow. For some reason, you thought it would stop. You thought the world would pause before it came to this– that sunrise on December the Twelfth would never come.

But here you are.

Waiting.

Waiting just three more short hours before everything happens.

There’s a gentle tug at your hand.

“Close the gate, Y/N,” Hyunjin whispers. “And let us hope it does not reopen.”

[imrightwereyouleftme]

yk I don't fully understand why people always say "listen to real queer artists instead of acting like Taylor is one" which is all in all just a not so good take bc you are instantly diminishing all the work Taylor has done to queercode her music, to add tiny bits of queer history into her lyrics and visuals to show us that she is queer. completely diminishing the fact that I, and most likely many others, learned about things that have no real place in todays modern world because of its "openness". (I can't be the only one who had no clue what a hairpin drop is before she sang about it)

but that's not the point I'm trying to make right now. the point I'm trying to illustrate is that most queer artists, are still small artists. they are individuals that rarely ever get played on the radio, and when they do it's one song that went viral on tiktok or whatever so it had gained enough streams online or enough sales ig so that the radio stations decided they'll play it.

I'm not saying don't support small queer artists, artists that (looking at our world right now) will never become mainstream because they are queer and they are writing explicitly queer songs.

and this goes past small artists. if we look at artists that came out after they had already been established, you can see a clear dent in their popularity.

Sam Smith was a big deal, even when they identified as a gay man, they were socially accepted. Their songs were played up and down, they were in the charts with every new album they dropped. but then they came out as non-binary and made an even more explicitly queer album and suddenly people acted like it was the devil's work.

Lil'nas'x had a break through with old town road, at that point most people didn't know he was gay. Then he dropped Montero as an explicitly queer man, stating his sexuality with an admirable amount of pride. But the only people that celebrated him, were queer people, and not even all of them.

Then we look at artists that have been in the game for longer. Look at Miley Cyrus, or Demi Lovato or hell, even Jojo Siva. All of them are constantly mislabeled by people or just straight up get their queerness ignored (especially Miley). They are also constantly being ridiculed, no matter if what they did was a bad thing or not. People always find things to hate.

So, my question is, why? Why do I have to want to need Taylor to come out just so you understand that her music is just as queer as her? Because we see very clearly what homophobia and worse so the blatant transphobia does to people in the industry.

There is no mistake that Taylor will have a dent in her popularity when it comes to most of her fanbase if she ever comes out, simply because these people are homophobic as hell. And we all know it, we see it every day in our inboxes, in comment sections, in posts that get mistagged on purpose. And you'd be a fool to think she doesn't see it. Because if she didn't, she'd just fool herself.

In conclusion, do listen to queer artists, elevate their voices, but don't forget about how many people are still residing in the closet because they fear it's gonna be the end of their career. closeted queers are still queer!

Buckle up, this is a long one!

Hi Anon! 😊👋

I cut off the link because, that is not what I’m about. I’m a positive person, I don’t like conflict or ‘coming at people’ none of that. I don’t believe in putting anyone against anyone else on this app. Everyone can do or say what they want on their blog and if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to follow them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone else is entitled to follow or block. I definitely don’t believe in pitting jikookers against each other at all.

I’m a chatter box with a lot in my head and don’t know when to stop a lot of the time, so sorry in advance!

With that out of the way...

I'm someone who believes in Jikook. You know this if you look at my posts, I believe you know this to bring a Jikook related ask.

I believe they have a long term exclusive relationship and that they are still together to this day. In believing that I must believe that they are queer, be them gay, bi, pan or anything under the umbrella that has them sexually and romantically attracted to each other and not concerned with their biological assignment and gender presentation.

Because I believe this, I therefore can see the issues behind a couple who for all intents and purposes are both men in a country that vilifies homosexuals.

YouTubers who take to the streets and speak to everyday people in Korea about their experiences being gay in Korea as natives and also foreigners.

I think I’ll do a post one day on some, but feel free to dm me if you want some links before then.

l also have some links of short docs done on homosexuality in Korea and conservatism.

I can also direct you to some articles on the laws that have been upheld just recently to uphold discrimination against gay people in Korea.

“In the comments every US army saying they nor locals care about artist's sexuality and queer concept they put out.”

I’m English, so I guess I’m part of that ‘West.’

I’m not gonna lie to you, no shade to anyone that believes otherwise, but I have personally only seen that when a celeb is known to be openly queer, not just alluding to it, but out and proud, the media bring it up EVERYTIME they mention anything to do with the artist.

The artist can do a food drive and the media will find a way to mention about when they came out, even though it has nothing to do with the music. It’s like when an artist dates someone famous, the media STILL find a way to bring their past relationships into things that have nothing to do with it. It may or may not make an impact on an artists fandom buying their albums, singles etc but it can unfortunately affect their growth with the general public.

Artists don’t just make music in a vacuum, they have brand deals, shows they go on, festivals, collaborations etc. though you may think in this day and age, being queer shouldn’t make a difference, unfortunately it does. Some brands may not want to associate themselves with an out and proud artist, some producers may not want to work with them, some festivals may not think they match the vibe and don’t want a crowd of queer fans turning up, even in the West.

“Make sense as there are multiple queer artists who are so successful in west. Whole world was singing 'unholy' by a non binary person lol.”

Who are these multiple out and proud queer artists? I’m not trying to be obtuse, I don’t know all the artists right now. I know like Troye Sivan, Lil’ Nas X, Demi Lovato, Sam Smith whose song you mentioned. Please forgive me if there are loads more big western out queer artists I’m missing, I’m just thinking about young big pop artists.

Lil’ Nas X is an amazingly strong person, he deals with a lot but he has such a strength of character, he gives as good as he gets and he gets A LOT! So make no mistake he faces a lot of challenges and fights for where he is and to be unapologetically him.

Demi I can’t say much on because I haven’t taken the time to understand where they are in their journey and their musical career now, but they also came out with a non-heterosexual label for themselves well into their established career.

Jungkook is not Sam Smith. He is not a white man from England who gained success FIRST before coming out as non-binary SEVERAL albums and accolades into their career. Jungkook is not an artist under the same circles as western artists who can rely on the same connections that western artists do.

Big western out queer artists who after coming out of the closet, do not live in a country that still has outdated practices such as mandatory military service, such as terrible women's rights to the point that women feel the only way to take back any control is to abstain from relationships, marriage and children.

This is the country Jungkook is from, the country of his family, friends and loved ones. Though he may make statements that jikookers can see for what they are, that those closely tapped into bangtan and all the fandom intricacies may know about. That’s not on the same scale as a GLOBAL solo debut. The spotlight being solely on him and NOT spread amongst 7 members. That will carve out how the general public, not just ARMY, see him from solo debut and always.

I funnily enough just did a post on Jungkook himself talking about wanting to do music about imaginary scenarios and stories. He said this in 2021. It's my inference (as you want my opinion) that these songs for his solo is that. Is it a reach then to say the music videos do not reflect him?

Also none of these artists are from a group. They are responsible for their career and their career only. They aren’t going to go back to their group work and have deals that don’t just affect them but 6 other people. They don’t live in a country where freedom of speech means something completely different.

“If it's catchy enough not even conservative country fans gives af about artist sexuality or gender imo.”

Your opinion. I don’t believe this to be the case.

Yes one or two catchy songs may get them fame if they’re out from the very beginning, but if they fail to sustain that momentum for any reason they quickly become ‘niche’ confined and limited to their own fandom, not given the platforms again to make a bigger and wider impact, falling to obscurity and only those that were with them from the beginning keep up with their newer projects past those one or two catchy songs.

Unless you come from a conservative country you can’t say with full confidence. Real conservative countries, like Korea have no problem with celebrities calling homosexuality a mental illness and calling queer people depraved, deviants etc. many Korean celebrities have said as much and more to the press and public with no consequence to their fame or career, the same cannot be said for if a western celebrity said as much.

“So how this narrative of JK chose het image to enter western market make sense ? He could get exactly the same results by staying to his authentic self isn't it ? Isn't it just a narrative made by shippers to convince themselves that he's still queer even if he's doing het songs to keep their ship floating? ( I really don't have a problem if he was queer but any excuses given doesn't make sense regarding his choices. Atp the only sensible explanation I can think of is that he's het, it's his choice to portray himself in this concept, it's him choosing to sing about het sex back to back, he agreed to having female lead actress in all his chapter 2 mvs. He kinda confirmed it by saying it wants to show different sides of HIMSELF. So maybe that's what it is.. simple 🤷‍♀️”

Sensible *to you.* with the information and opinions that *you* have.

Again I believe Jikook are together so of course that's my train of thought and with the information that I have what is sensible to *me* is not the same as you.

However to be completely 100. It doesn't matter what I think.

My thoughts do not change who Jungkook dates nor does it change his sexuality.

If you believe him to be heterosexual ok.

If I believe him to be queer ok.

He'll still be with who he wants to be with, he'll still identify as what he wants to identify as.

If I interpret his music videos to not be a reflection of him and you do interpret his music videos to be a reflection of him, ok.

What difference does it make?

I can see Jikook as real and believe there to be deep meaning behind their years and years of words and actions. I can also see his music videos as 4 minute fictional films with actresses and musical background that once the filming ends, so does his dealings with them.

That is also simple

■ About

In a world where alchemy has become taboo and is considered evil, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land follows the adventures of Yumia Liessfeldt and her companions as they seek to uncover the truth behind the fall of the Aladissian Empire—which once thrived with alchemy—and the memories of its lost history. Yumia’s quest will take her across a ruined continent, and despite the uncertainties of confronting her past, she will need to create her own path if she hopes to unravel the mysteries behind the cataclysm that destroyed Aladiss. Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land takes players on a journey exploring the theme of memory. Playing as Yumia Liessfeldt, a young alchemist who lost her mother in an accident when she was young, players set out to uncover the forbidden art of alchemy while also learning the true intentions of Yumia’s mother who hid her identity as an alchemist. Along the way, Yumia joins the Aladiss Research Team where she meets Vikto von Duerer and his younger sister, Isla von Duerer. There, they are also joined by an assorted cast of characters including a mysterious woman, a timid demi-human, and a former adventurer with spectacular experiences. Together, Yumia and her companions will travel across the vast continent that was once the Aladissian Empire, where all civilization has perished. Players will have a wide range of actions and items at their disposal throughout the adventure, allowing them to explore a vast open world made up of different biomes as they make their way through these unknown lands gathering materials that can be used to synthesize and craft new items for use in their quest—both during exploration and combat. Not only will fans be able to craft items without having to return to their base thanks to the “Simple Synthesis” feature, but for the first time in the series, fans will be also able to build, furnish, and decorate their own base with the all-new “Building” feature! To help make Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land come alive, Koei Tecmo and developer Gust have teamed up with the brilliant artist Benitama to create the main visual and all of the character designs. Specializing in creating illustrations and character designs for various fantasy game titles, Benitama incorporates references to paintings and reliefs in his work while striving to balance both persuasive depth and cuteness. His design, characterized by a monochrome based style, give a cool impression while bringing out the charm of the Atelier series.

■ Story

Weaving memories and tracing emotions. For the truth that lies ahead. The Aladissian Empire. It once thrived on a certain continent, having achieved remarkable development through alchemy that kept other nations at bay. However, it met its end due to a sudden and mysterious cataclysm. Time progressed, and several centuries later—. Alchemy became known as a “dangerous art that brings destruction,” and considered “evil” and “taboo” in this new era. In this now forbidden and perilous land, a lone alchemist sets foot. Her name is Yumia Liessfeldt. After losing her mother in an accident three years ago, Yumia discovered that she was from a family of alchemists and began to question many things. Why did Aladiss fall? Why did alchemy become “taboo”?… Is alchemy truly “evil”? Believing that all truths lie within the continent, Yumia embarks on a journey to uncover its lost history.

■ Characters

Yumia Liessfeldt (voiced by Wakana Kuramochi)

“I want to push forward. Push forward because I beleive every memory is part of alchemy.”

On a journey to trace memories and uncover lost truths. Due to an accident in her childhood, she lost her mother and learned that she was an alchemist. To uncover the truth behind her mother’s intentions and the forbidden art of alchemy, she joins the Aladiss Research Team. She cherishes her mother’s words: “Learn how to judge what is right by yourself.

Viktor von Duerer (voiced by Makoto Furukawa)

“I won’t waver either. I decided that the moment I saw the chief rush in that day, and I’m sticking to it.”

With his iron stake, he upholds justice. A member of the Aladiss Research Team, he joined the investigation as Yumia’s supervisor. He comes from the influential Duerer family and is also a member of the Order of Eustella. Although he has a strong sense of justice and an honest personality, he can be inflexible. Three years ago, his family fell into ruin due to a massive mana disaster in his family’s domain.

Isla von Duerer (voiced by Kaori Maeda)

“I’ve had enough with losing friends.”

Uncompromising feelings for both fashion and revenge. A member of the Aladiss Research Team and Viktor’s younger sister. She is bright, with high energy and communication skills, and is stylish at heart, never forgetting to be fashionable even during investigations. Her thoughtful nature helps her support her brother with things he can’t handle.

Nina Friede (voiced by Mikako Komatsu)

“Hehe, hehehe… Well then, don’t mind if I do…”

Unquestionable skill and a unique sense. A member of the Aladiss Research Team with a mysterious aura. She always seems to be relaxed, but sometimes it’s unclear what she’s thinking. She has mercenary experience and possesses the skill to conduct investigations alone.

Lenja (voiced by Yoshino Aoyama)

“I wanted to prove myself. I wanted to show that I can be useful.”

The greatest enemy is her own timid self. The only Welleks demihuman in the investigation team. She possesses high physical abilities and mana aptitude. However, she is timid with low self-confidence and frequently apologizes for everything. Welleks live in Aladiss in large numbers, having contributed to its development by producing many alchemists.

Rutger Arendt (voiced by Jun Fukuyama)

“It’s easier for me to act on my own. I’m gettin’ plenty results, so what’s the problem?”

An adventurer who laughs at adversity and forges his own path. A member of the Aladiss Research Team and a seasoned adventurer who loves valuable items. An orphan with no family, he survived by taking on shady jobs in the slums. Having experienced intense hardships, he is not bound to others but lives according to his own aesthetics.

■ World

Embark on a dramatic adventure across a vast land of endless fun and scenery.

■ System

Collect, combat, create—the journey with your companions will be filled with various “experiences.”

Synthesis: Create Items Interwoven with “Mana“

Manipulate the “mana” residing in materials to create new items based on recipes. The items you craft will exhibit powerful effects in various situations, such as exploration and combat. The strength of an item’s power depends on the materials used in synthesis, so select your materials carefully while assessing the power of the embedded mana.

Battle: A Captivating Variety of Actions with “Range” and “Items”

In real-time combat, you’ll be tested on your ability to make split-second decisions. Utilize two types of attack ranges (“range”) and switch between skills to fight strategically. Additionally, synthesized items can transform into shapes such as swords or spears, which can be used to attack. Since these items are reusable, don’t hesitate to deploy them and drive away enemies that stand in your way.

Head Canons for Outlaw Alastor?

*weird happy noises like a squeaky toy* Yes

Headcanons for Outlaw Alastor

I forgot to ask for more details so I'm just going to do what I can.

I feel like Outlaw Alastor would only be slightly different.

He's still a gentleman but he flirts a bit.

He would have fans in every universe.

His friend Rosie is like a gang leader and she has her Posies(Like the nursery rhyme) Or the women in her gang would be named after poisonous flowers.

No one messes with Rosie. Not even the law enforcement.

Mimzy would run a saloon and helps hide him out from time to time.

Back to Alastor

I feel like he would be more like an anti-hero? Or something similar. Stealing from the rich and taking down/killing crooked sheriffs. Maybe a bit more.

But corrupt rich assholes don't like that and put a bounty on him.

So he's on the run most of the time, but he does have his out little hideout somewhere. (Haven't thought of what it looks like yet. But its gotta be nice and kinda fancy with the some of the loot he kept for himself.)

Maybe its like a cave somewhere in the canyons, not a mine like Striker's but it does have some glowing green crystals/emeralds on the ceiling or some clusters on the walls of the cave.

Or it could be in a wooded area, a place that isn't too close or too far from towns or cities. Like a hidden cabin in the woods with a secret bunker underground with tunnels for an easy escape just in case.

Now his horse.

Art from this post. Artist is @kalico-of-doom

I think if he didn't have a place near his hideout for them to rest, he'd have to leave them at a stable.

But it has to be taken care of by someone he trusts that won't rat him out.

If this was an x Reader there's a few roles that the reader can play.

Stable hand that Alastor trusts, or they could work at a resturaunt as a cook/saloon as a bar tender. Maybe an outlaw as well, or a traveling psychic, and there's a lot more.

I'll probably put the rest down later.

Maybe Husk is seen around that bar if the reader is a bartender.

Alastor does flirt with the reader (mostly to get a lower price for his drink or something) but it doesn't work.

"Nice try handsome."

"You think I'm handsome?"

Reader does know how to use a range of weapons. No matter what role they play. (Maybe some specific ones depending on some.)

At some point the two end up being friends (maybe more later) and the reader helps him hide out or points the bounty hunters/law enforcement in the wrong direction.

Alastor is still ace/aroace/maybe demi. Depends I guess? Around the same range.

That's all for right now but I really enjoyed this.

~Seline, the person.

[worldismyne]

Iceberg Bing for layer 3 and 4.

My memory is really bad, so some of these might have already appeared in earlier layers.

AMVs - Either specific songs that were popular to use in the fandom, or any fanmade content from during the manga's run that was popular

Soul and Maka Split up - Apparently this interpretation of Maka and Soul's final discussion in the manga is a hot take. There was a lot going on in the final chapter, but here are the phrases from the manga that gave me that impression.

Will cross this box off for any analysis from that final chapter tho.

Thompson Twins - Can't remember if this specific reference was pointed out, but stands in for any pop culture references brought to light.

The Dress - This is a newer development, but at some point this dress got listed on Devil Inspired and advertised heavily on instagram.

A bunch of Chrona cosplayers independently saw it and adopted it. (There were at least 3 or 4 at the first con I went to after it was listed). It's so prolific I've seen it in fanart of Chrona now.

Mary Shelly Theory - Saw someone in the tag a while back theorize Marie might be an allusion to Mary Shelly. It would add a layer to the electricity power outside of the Mjolnir reference.

New Art - Any mention of the 20th anniversary drops. (It didn't fit well in the square)

Purple/Pink Gate - Another one I can't remember if it's already been covered. Despite most fan artists color picking a dusty rose for Crona's hair, lavender wigs are still more common for cosplayers. I am a pink wig truther.

Shinobi - Okay, this is a PS2 game that predates the manga by two years. The main mechanic is a katana that sucks the lifeforce/soul of the user unless it's constantly fed other souls. I am fairly sure this is the inspiration of the uncanny sword. Even the cover art gives post time skip vibes.

If not, both pieces of media have to be referencing the same thing.

Zagreus + Dionysus : Death the Kid's role in SE has similarities with the god of the rebirth. Particularly the part of the legends where he's dismembered and eaten. There is some confusion in greek mythology if these are just different names for the same god or just two gods whose roles overlap, thus why I put both names.

Ragnarok - Particularly how he stops being a character after Salvage. Will also check off for mention of the war of the gods.

Merch - There's a lot of merch out there. Apparently they made a speaker inspired by bonus art. I'm sure there's a bunch of official stuff I haven't seen before.

Official Cosplay - There's a few talking points here that come to mind. Like how Soul is the only weapon with an official cosplay prop. Any Spirit, Ragnarok or Tsubaki props you see were made by the cosplayer. Death the Kid rings get sold one at a time, even if they're advertised as a set.

Translations goofs - There's little things like Afreet and Kishen being used interchangeably in the sub. The Witch hunter evolutions have a few different names. I'm sure there's other translation stuff that I don't know about that might pop up.

Demi-god Black Star - Another umbrella square. Black Star's arc towards the end seems to be referencing something specific. Idk what it is, but Marie goes out of her way to put him and Death the Kid on the same level and snubs Maka at the end of the manga.

The Dread Queen - Comparing Chrona to Persephone is really common in the Kirona crowd. After listening to some deeper dives on the topic there's actually precedence for them to be an allusion ancient underworld goddess that predates Persephone and Hades, but not the abduction myth. They're never referred by name only by titles. Crona's name being literally Dark One in Japanese fits with this theme, as well as usually being referred to as the Demon Sword rather than by their given name. This could be more coincidence than anything else though.

Unlocalized content - The iceberg has already covered the games, but there might be audio dramas or other in-character content that didn't make it's way over when SE was popular in the US.

[alarici]

For Meronia ballet AU, maybe a back stage moment or something? As a prompt I mean (: Love Reading your stuff!!

content: injury, word count: approx 500

It's the middle of dress rehearsal. Near's demi-solo is almost finished. She's collapsed in some soloist man's arms, not a finger out of place, languishing in the scattered applause. Catching her breath for the coda. Mello watchers her from the wings, as she has for seven years and counting. She's still captivated, as is everyone else.

The final chord drifts out of the orchestra pit, and then the string section begins again--and Near is alive, again. Most of the coda is a petite allegro. Small jumps, precise, exhausting. Even if Near's perfect, this is one thing that has never been her specialty. Where Mello's athleticism lends to her explosive jumps, her dynamism; Near's technique is impeccable, but Mello can pick out every moment here Near could jump higher, could move faster, could do more, more, more. Yet it's undeniably good. And Mello is lost in the sight. Near's eternal gentle smile--a delicate interpretation of the role. It fits.

Still riding off of the high of them both being promoted to the corps de ballet--no longer under threat of being a probationary apprentice (dancing every night, dead on their feet, the treat of 'there's only room for one of you here' looming in the spring, than then a revelation: we want you both, don't ruin it), Mello isn't fixated in her anger. They're playing the same part--corps in one cast, soloist in the other. Maybe, for this ballet at least, their opposite interpretations can coexist, and Mello will practice her breathing exercises, and they will keep a tally of who prefers whose version of the part. The ballet mistress likes you. The critic liked me.

The worst is yet to come, someone pulls at her, a prickle in her spine.

Mello bites her lip as the end of the coda draws near. It's a nerve-wracking sequence to perform. Mello's dress rehearsal was earlier that day, and she'd scrapped by with a few, small, inexcusable errors in the exact same routine.

The fantasy of a moment of peace, a truce, an intermission of repose rips ugly four counts before the end of the sequence. Mello hears it and can't look away as Near crumples to the stage, barely catching herself with her arms out in front of her.

Mello's seen multiple bad landings. Jumping is always a gamble with god. A gamble they make hundreds of times every day. Near's misfortune finds her limping, instead of running of the stage, one more act, forty minutes, in the dress rehearsal left to go. In the opposite wing, she looks ready to run back for the mid-show bow.

Mello doesn't think. She runs. The vast area behind the stage narrows to the opposite stage door. Mello sees her, sitting standing on one leg in the corner. It looks bad.

She takes the razor out of its place in her character shoes, wrapped in cardboard and thin cloth, sitting against the knuckle of her big toe--a trinket for luck--and feels Near's ribbons tearing under the blade, Near panting, weak arms protesting at Mello's elbow. It's the only way Mello will know Near won't go and try to dance on a broken foot--you can't dance without your ribbons. It's over.

"You cut me," Near says. A grimace of pain, well hidden. A small prick of blood expands on her white tights from where the ribbons gave.

"You're not going back out there." Mello can't look at her, can only stare at her swollen foot, limp on the ground.

"Now, I'm not." Mello would appreciate some anger. Instead, all she sees is nothing. Grief? Leave it to Near to start caring now, of all times.

-

It'll take Near five year to thank her for it. When they learn that the artistic director would have been happy to see Near ruin herself, her shattered sesamoid, that very night.

upbringing.

jude born into the landry household alongside his twin sister, ziggy, and was instantly drawn into a life of color and wonder. the landry household's always been a restless one; designers and inventors and creative minds of both scientific and artistic pursuits constantly dancing through the hallways. never a moment of silence, of boredom, of inactivity. to others, their chaos is overwhelming - to jd, it's home.

he grew up being able to pursue whatever his heart desired, no matter how practical or impractical, even if his whims were fantastical or improbable. like his father and like many landrys before him - jude was drawn to science, to creation and invention. most evenings growing up were spent sitting beneath a tree, mapping out his next big project, anything to improve the life of himself and others. small things, like a multi - tool for dinner utensils, a pulley system from one balcony to the next; broke his arm in the eighth grade after attempting a grappling hook prototype that's still in works to this day.

it wasn't his only love, or his only passion; where there was the unknown, there was jd. beyond puzzles he needed to know the answer of, needed to solve - the mysteries and myths of kilmer have always intrigued jude. entranced him, almost, to the point of obsession. it's gotten him in trouble over the years - trespassing on private property just to catch the mysterious figure in the woods, casting himself off to sea in the middle of a storm just to capture a blurred photo of what could, theoretically, be a sea monster.

it's paradoxical, maybe - jude's a man of science. of reason and explanation; he shouldn't give old ghost stories more than a moment's thought. but he can't let go; insists on a reason behind every rumor, in truth behind every tale. he has to solve kilmer's cove, no matter what.

personal details.

jude is... the more awkward twin; introverted but yet, still enthusiastic. is passionate about so many different things that it's hard to captivate his attention before his thoughts are drifting off to bigger, better things.

is always managing to rope others into his situations, whether it's being out on his boat at the crack of dawn for "sightings", or in the middle of the woods as he examines blair witch - esque stick figures, or in a pair of matching disguises. it's not always purposeful; jd has the tendency to take things too far.

"he loved her to the point of invention" is very real and true for jd. he's a yearner, and a lover, but not an actor. he rarely acts on his feelings, finding them too embarrassing to express - if he knew how to, anyways. love languages include acts of service, gift giving in the form of new things that'll make their lives easier. usually holds onto a few... somewhat pathetic crushes at a time, yet is completely oblivious when the feelings are returned, or otherwise felt for him.

is simply... so preoccupied with his own things. has a podcast with his twin, ziggy, and yeah maybe their only listeners are their parents and their aunts and uncles. so what? it's there where jude talks about his conspiracies, thoughts on kilmer's local hauntings, and the mythical creatures he's determined to prove real.

jd has the worst fashion sense known to man. he usually lets ziggy create clothes for him and pick out things that she thinks would work for him, otherwise... hopeless. sticks to a lot of earthy tones and mild patterns, with a hint of ziggy all over it. a fan of baggy clothes; it hides his - frankly surprising - sleeper build. is somehow still out out of shape.

a big fan of the outdoors, jd only really spends time inside to sleep and to work on his inventions - and even then, there's still a 50% chance that he's doing either of those things outside. loves hiking, loves sitting atop the cliffs. can usually be found with a pair of binoculars - for monster spotting, of course.

he's in possession of at least one degree in wildlife science, and is steadily working towards a second in engineering. jd doesn't really plan on stopping there, either. plans on earning as many degrees as he can, at least, in everything that interests him. until death.

despite his introversion, jd isn't an unfriendly person. he can be a little offputting at times, and awkward, and definitely has a complex towards people he perceives as either "better" or "cooler" than him - but outside of that? he's generally friendly. is open to conversations, and friendships, though large social situations are a bit nerve - wracking without ziggy by his side.

potential connections.

this is going to be a kind of brief list, as jude's very new, and i'm pretty open to anything ( within reason ). i'd generally like any romance - oriented connections to be more chemistry based than anything else.

friendships! i'm like pretty sure jude was homeschooled, however, the landrys are fairly known around town and jude's always been out and about. childhood friends, college class friends, a best friend besides ziggy even. ( infinite ).

an ex partner? jude doesn't date often, in fact, this may as well have been his only partner, and all of his firsts. they could've dated for any length of time, short or long, for any period of his life. they're just not together now... and it's very possible that it's jude's fault as his priorities are misaligned ( dedicated to his work ). but, there could've been other reasons as well! ( 0 / 1 ).

co - workers. whether from the oddities museum, or the boat tours - they've definitely worked alongside jude and have been subject to many of his rambles. whether they enjoyed it, or are perpetually annoyed and he's too oblivious to realize - well. ( infinite ).

a singular friend with benefits. this is a rare thing for jd. it's not super frequent, but it's someone that jd is comfortable with and trusts, and at the beginning - it was just something that happened! maybe feelings are there, or will develop and ruin their current friendship, or maybe they're content in their situation. ( 0 / 1 ).

enemy - ships. the anti friendship. maybe it's not as strong as jd's nemesis, but there's still tension there whether it's hurt egos, a misunderstanding, purposeful sabotage, etc. it may actually be mutual this time! ( infinite ).

more pathetic crushes. while not as prominent as the main object of jude's affections, they still exist. mostly people jude is awkward around, and cannot figure out how to talk to without word vomiting. it could even be the other way around, someone's crush on jude that he's completely unaware of. ( 0 / 3 ).

the rest of the scooby gang. these are people that jude considers his "main" group of friends, even if they don't think the same. it's really because they hunt down mysteries and ghosts and cryptids together, and have been for varying lengths of time. this is a wc on the main as well! ( 2? / 5 ).

literally anything else we can think of. i'm open to anything!
