February 2, 2025

It had been a surprisingly warm day in Belgium for February. You had spent the morning at Victoria’s apartment getting ready for the wedding. You had coffee with Sophie before the hair and makeup lady came to get all three of you ready.

You and Max had chosen to have the wedding at a neoclassical castle in Kapellen. It was big enough given that the guest list had a little more than 100 people showing up. You have been a little concerned as it normally was still snowing in Belgium during this part of the year.

The woman who was doing your hair into loose waves pinned some of the ringlets back away from your face, spraying on the last bit of the hairspray when Victoria had walked into the room holding Luka.

“Ready?” She asked.

You gave her a nod back.

The drive over made some of your nerves come out. You were tapping your foot in the backseat. Sophie had eventually put her hand over your knee. You had stopped instantly leaning back, this was probably the longest you had gone without talking to Max since you had moved in with him.

Pulling up to the castle felt surreal. It had all been set up with white tent covers. You could see people outside, some straighten-ing chairs, and others moving around to fix flower arrangements.

Victoria had parked the car and got out.

“Come on, we should go up before anyone sees you.” Sophie said, opening the door.

You had walked through the back entrance of the house, taking in the fine crown molding just like you did the first time you and Max had walked through here together.

“It’s a little much, no?” He asked.

“Well you only get married once.” You said placing your hand on the banister that lead upstairs.

“Just once? What if I want to marry you again?”

“Then next time you can choose,” You said before feeling his hand grip yours.

You knew that this venue wasn’t exactly Max’s style. A beach Caribbean wedding was the original plan, but it fell through with the wedding date being a month before the start of the season and still wanting to go on a two week honeymoon.

“Fine, castle it is.” Max placed a kiss on your forehead. “I get first choice on food when we talk to the caterer though.”

You knew exactly what Max would want to serve everyone, kebabs with a few Italian inspired dishes added in.

“Okay, but we’re doing family style since it’ll be easier. We just need to make sure to have a vegan option for Lewis.”

“You always think of everything.” You leaned in a little more into Max’s side giving your shoulders a small shrug.

“Thank the wedding planner for being able to do this in less than 5 months.” Both you and Max shared a chuckle before walking outside to take a look at where the actual wedding would take place.

You had gone up to the master bedroom to see the dress that you had picked out was already hanging on the white silk hanger, in the Ivory color that you had chosen all those months ago forgoing the Dutch tradition of wearing white. Pnina Tornai really knew how to design a wedding dress. It was mermaid style with defined lace detailing that had a bone in strapless corset top.

“My brother isn’t going to know what hit him.” Victoria said, as she stood there in a blush pink dress of her own choosing.

You smiled at her before she helped you put on the dress, lacing up the corset strings, and tightened them just enough so you could still breathe. She had fastened the strings at the end of the corset and then left saying that she was going to check on Max.

“Can you tell him that I’ll see him down there?” You asked her. She nodded back to you.

“I will.” Before leaving the room.

Sophie had come in when you were putting in a pair of Van Cleef mother of pearl butterfly stud earrings in white gold.

You saw her from the mirror in the vanity. She was wearing a navy off the shoulder dress that cut off just after her knees and in her hands she was holding a black box.

“Halo, Y/N.”

“Hi, Sophie.” She walked further into the room, closing the door behind her. She moved to sit to the left of you pulling up a chair, before moving the black velvet box into your lap.

“I know, normally in the Dutch tradition the mother of the grooms don’t give the bride a gift, but I wanted to give you something that I wore on my wedding day to Jos... My marriage to Max’s father wasn’t the happiest, but it was a testament to how strong I became as a person as a result of being married to him. Marriage isn’t an easy thing, it’s constant work, you must take the bad with the good while you are together.” She took in a shaky breath. “My son is going to be your teammate in life, love, and in parenting.” She paused.

“So, I’m giving you this as a reminder to love Max with everything that you have, and with my hope that you'll make sure to listen to one another, and to be there when times are the hardest.” She finished, and then encouraged you to open the box.

You had pulled the lid open to reveal a diamond tennis bracelet, made of single carat stones in a white gold setting.

“My mother had it made for me, and I want to give it to you, and if you and Max ever have a daughter, I thought you could pass it down to her.”

You were a little blown away.

“Sophie, are you sure you don’t want to give this to Victoria? I’m sure when Tom is ready they’ll-“She didn’t let you finish your sentence and started to shake her head no.

“I have many pieces that will one day be hers. This is just for you.” Sophie took the bracelet out of the box and clasped it around your left wrist.

You didn’t know how to say thank you for this. So, instead you reached over and hugged her. She had slowly pulled away from you, taking your hand.

“Come, my son won’t wait all day.” You lightly laughed, quickly slipping on the 3-inch nude suede crystal encrusted Louboutin shoes onto your feet.

Sophie had walked down the stairs with you and ushered you into the living room but not fast enough that you didn’t see Max, who was standing there with Daniel, Martijn, and Max’s childhood friend Jack.

You could hear Nico’s voice, “Just walk and hold the pillow?”

“Yes, and when we need them, Daniel will ask for them. Just like in practice.”

“Okay Papa.” Nico said up to Max. “But why is Mama’s ring so sparkly?”

“Because Mama deserves a ring that’s pretty but not prettier than she is.” Hearing Max say that made a flash of tears fill up your eyes.

You only had a few moments before Sophie needed to walk out there before Max. You couldn't help but be a little nervous about walking down the aisle.

“Sophie,” Y/N said to her as they walked out of the room, hand in hand before the music started playing for her to walk down the aisle. “I just want to thank you. Thank you for raising Max the way that you did, and being there for him when Nico came into his life.”

You could see that Sophie was starting to tear up a bit. “My son loves you, and my grandson too. I couldn’t have asked for a better wife to my son even if I had a hand in choosing her myself.”

You gave her a nod and then she hugged you, pulling you in a little tight. She gave one of your hands a squeeze before walking out of the room, making sure to give you the bouquet of tulips, peonies, and hydrangeas all in shades of white or blue.

You could hear some of the music start from outside, with the hallway slowly clearing out after that.

Nico going first, hoping that he remembered to sit next to Tom just like at the rehearsal, and then with your friends moving to clasp arms with Martijn, and Jack. Victoria and Daniel went last as Maid of Honor and Best Man.

Sophie was supposed to walk out next with Max but you could hear her through the wall.

“I’m surprised that you’re not nervous.” She spoke.

“Nervous? No, everything feels right, like it should. I just want to see her.” You heard Max say.

“You will, and she looks beautiful.”

“Thank you for everything Mum, really.”

“She makes you happy, that is all a mother could want for her son.”

It fell quiet after that. The only sound was coming from outside, there was a key change and then the sound of an orchestral rendition of Lana Del Rey’s Young and Beautiful started to play.

That was your cue.

You had made your way out of the living room towards the doors that lead out into the lawn, through the open doors and saw everyone sitting there. You could see people from your side of the family, friends, co-workers, and Lewis (who insisted on sitting on your side of the aisle) sitting on the left side. Then on the right you could see a mix of Max’s family, the guys on the grid & Sebastian Vettel, some of the engineers from Red Bull, a few of the Team Redline guys, and then Christian and Geri who were sitting in the front row with Sophie, Tom, Nico, Luka, and Leo.

You looked down the aisle to see Max standing there, in a fitted black suit, giving you a watery smile, with a few tears falling from his eyes.

You gripped your bouquet tighter trying to move at the same pace of the song. You wanted to already be up there, standing next to Max.

A few more short steps before you were looking at Max, his eyes a watery blue, with a wide smile across his face.

You took a step up on the small platform, now standing next to Max. You gave him a reassuring smile.

Both you and Max looked at one another before the officiant started.

“Hello everyone,” The graying man said into the mic. “We are all gathered here today before friends, family, and loved ones to bring together Max and Y/N. By being here today in front of close friends and family, they are making a lasting commitment to one another, to love, to be present, to always listen to the other, to fight every battle as if they are one team, one family, to love the other with pure adoration, understanding, and a spark that doesn’t diminish over time.”

There was a silent moment before he continued, “I would like Max and Y/N to join hands for this next part so they may exchange vows and rings.”

You leaned down a little to hand over your bouquet to Victoria, who happily took it from your hands.

You stepped towards Max, mouthing a small, “Hi.”

He gave you a silent chuckle and a, “Hello.” back clasping your hands together.

“And the rings please,” The officiant asked, looking at Daniel.

Daniel gave a small shake of his head, silently saying that he didn’t have them and then pretended to check his pockets until Nico came up behind Daniel and pulled them out of one of the front pockets of Daniel’s suit.

Max laughed slightly, shaking his head at Daniel before the rings were in the officiant’s hands. You let out a small chuckle, same old Daniel. You had hoped that he would put his antics to rest on this one day.

“A circle is a symbol of Unity, Infinity, wholeness as well as eternal love. By wearing these rings, you are promising to uphold all of these meanings to one another from this day, until you’re last. Y/N if you will please?” He asked holding his hand open for her to take Max’s ring in her hand to slip it onto his finger.

“Max,” She started feeling the weaved carbon fiber that made up the design of his ring, slipping it onto his left hand. “I don’t know what my life would be like without you and Nico in it. I feel the most loved when I’m with you, and I feel lucky every day that you trust me, can joke around with me, and let me be your shoulder to lean on when you need it.”

She took in a small breath, “I’m in awe of the loyalty that you have for people, and then I remember that I’m one of those few lucky people who has it too. I love you; I just love everything about you, how you are never anything but yourself to people, that you're honest with everyone that you meet, and loving, to your sister, mom, nephews, our cats, and your son.”

You looked from Max to Nico, outstretching your hand towards Nico, asking him to walk closer to you so he could stand up on the altar with you and Max. You waited until Nico stood at your side and reached his little hand up to hold yours.

“Your son, our son means so much to me,” You could see that Max’s eyes were welling up with more tears. You kept a strong hold on Max’s hand while leaning down towards Nico, talking directly to him.

“Nico, I may not have been there when you were born, or when you experienced a few of your firsts. Regardless of those things, you’ll always be my son, and I won’t let anything, or anyone change that.”

Nico was quick to reach for you, wrapping his arms around the lace fabric at the bottom of the dress. “Mama.” You could hear him sob. He tightened his hold around your knees, and you looked up at Max seeing him give you the biggest watery smile that he could manage and pressed his lips together to stop his tears from falling.

You placed a kiss on Nico's forehead and then did your best to stand, but he didn’t let you go with his hands still on the skirt of your dress.

“You and our son are my family, and that will always come first to me. I promise to make this last, through every argument, every night spent away from one another, and every child that we may have in the future.” You finished off taking in a shaky breath.

The officiant just stood there and held out his hand for Max to start.

Max blinked trying to clear the tears from his eyes and then cleared his throat. “I remember when we first met,” He started and took a pause. “You told me that if something matters… I’d make time for it. I was surprised that you had given me a chance, and had been so patient with me, letting me set the pace through those eight months.” It had been hard, letting Max set the pace of the relationship early on. But you have been patient with him because you felt like he was worth waiting for. You felt him grip your hand tighter, his thumb tracing over your fingers like a track that he could drive in his sleep. “This was all before you had found out about Nico, when we were still trying to make us work, flying from London to Monaco just to spend a few hours together, it was also before you had become Nico’s mum.”

As Max spoke you could feel that he wasn’t as nervous to tell you these things. He wasn’t as nervous to let you know what going through those things was like for him. 

“Once you found out about Nico, I felt like I had finally found someone who I could let myself be goofy and joke with. You understand me without me having to tell you things. You don’t push me to talk about things unless I let you. You are my lioness, my mijn leeuwin, protecting our cub, and building us a home while I’m off racing. You are the barrier from the outside world where I don’t have to worry about anything else. I know that you’re there, waiting for me to come home, always.”

Max had reached for the diamond encrusted ring, slowly slipping it onto your finger and then lifted your hand up to his lips placing a kiss on top of the band. He pulled away and you ran a finger over his chin feeling the light stubble under your finger. He gave you a big smile to the point where his eyes crinkled at the sides and watched as his lips slightly trembled.

“I promise to protect that with everything that I have, never take you for granted, to always listen to you, and make you feel like you are the most important thing to me, more than any trophy, or the miles that may separate us when I’m gone.”

“I love you.” You whispered to him when you felt a single tear fall down your cheek.

There were a few silent beats, almost as if the words needed to sink in before the officiant started again.

“Do you Y/N take Max to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day on, for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?” The officiant asked.

“I do.” You said without any hesitation in your voice.

“And do you Max, take Y/N to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day on, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickedness and in health, until death do you part?”

“Yes, I do.” Max smiled wide with his words.

“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” The officiant said and then took a small step back. “You can kiss the bride.”

Max took a small step forward and then you did as well. Your lips met Max’s with his hand holding your waist and then dropping to the back of your dress running over the lace detailing and ribbon that made up the back of the corset. Your arms went around his neck pulling him in deeper. The hoots and hollers from the crowd muffled in your ears.

A few seconds later you could feel Nico’s hand drop from the skirt of your dress before you and Max pulled away from each other. You looked out to see that Nico was standing next to Sophie now before you felt Max take your hand so you could walk inside. Max took a few steps and then helped you down from the altar so you didn’t trip in your shoes.

Half an hour after the ceremony, the guests were already inside. Martin was behind the DJ booth with Lando standing by his side.

“I still don’t know why Y/N and Max didn’t take my offer to DJ the wedding?” Lando asked Martin.

“Maybe because I already offered, and it wasn’t as an exchange for a wedding gift.” He said turning down the EQ levels to the track that was playing.

Lando just shook his head before taking a sip of his drink.

“Has anyone seen the bride and groom yet?” Daniel asked Victoria and Tom who were standing a few meters away from Martin

“Not yet. Grand entrance and all.” Tom replied.

Daniel kept walking through the room, making his rounds as best man until he stopped at Sebastian and talked to him for a bit.

“Hey Seb,” Daniel greeted him.

“Daniel,” He greeted the Aussie with a hug.

“Max told me he wasn’t sure if you were gonna come.”

“Last minute RSVP. I wasn’t sure if I was at first. But happy that I could be here to see him settle down and get married.”

“He’s happy that you're here. Just waiting to see him and the Mrs. come down soon.”

“Well, before that, how do you feel about a little bet between former teammates?” Seb asked, placing his arm around Daniel’s shoulders.

“What have you got in mind?” Daniel said, leading Seb towards the bar. He saw Sophie come into the room from outside while holding Nico’s hand. The wedding photographer must have been done with them outside.

A few minutes later the music changed again and two sets of footsteps could be heard against the wood flooring. There was a loud cheer from all of the guests seeing Max and Y/N walk out from under the doorway.

From there the room broke out in upbeat music with people eating and drinking, with people breaking into little groups of conversation while occasionally walking over to the bride and groom to give them their congratulations.

The second course had been placed down on the tables and everyone was sitting in their seats with Daniel moving to stand to the right of Max. 

Daniel gave a loud whistle trying to get everyone’s attention as they were all finally sitting down. “Thanks, thank you.” He started to say before moving to pick up his champagne glass.

“Hey guys, to those of you who don’t know me, I’m Daniel. The best man,” He said, holding the mic up to his lips with his free hand.

“I just wanted to get on here and say a few words about the bride and groom. Maybe a little more the groom then the bride, sorry Y/N.” Daniel saw her give him a little shrug. She didn’t take it personally.

“So yeah, Max. We’ve known each other a long time, since before you first started driving in F1, I think you were like 12?” Daniel joked knowing that Max was 13 the first time they met. “I couldn’t imagine then when we first met that I would be able to be the best man at your wedding to the fox that you just married,” The crowd gave off a few hollers and Daniel could see that Y/N only slightly shook her head at his comment with a light pink flush painting her cheeks. “You were a scrawny awkward looking kid when I met you, and now look at you. Married with a kid. I would be lying if I said there weren’t bets placed today on when there is going to be another one.”

There was a small round of chuckles heard from a few of the drivers in attendance.

“But I digress, mate, you’ve got yourself a good one there.” Daniel further raised his glass. “Y/N, you make Max happy, I just want to let you know that you’ve married into a family that not only loves you but has truly welcomed you with open arms. I hope Max, that you know how lucky you are to have her in your life. Women like her don’t come around every day.”

“To many more years for the two of you, to Mr. and Mrs. Verstappen.” Daniel finished off before everyone took a drink from their glasses.

A few moments later Victoria stood up next to Y/N and started her speech.

“To those of you who don’t know me, I’m not only Y/N’s Maid of Honor but I’m also Max’s little sister. I just wanted to officially welcome Y/N to the family, and let you know how excited I am to have a sister-in-law. I heard a lot about you when you and Max had first started dating. He would always want to talk about you, and when you met Nico it only seemed like he started to talk about you even more. Having said that, Max I love you. But if you screw this up, I get to keep her in the divorce.”

Max let out a big laugh and then reached for Y/N’s hand. She looked at him and he gave her a fake questioning look that said, Something I don’t know about. She just shook her head at him and then Max smiled at Victoria knowing that she was only joking.

“I don’t plan on letting that happen,” He interjected and heard a few chuckles from the rest of the wedding party. Max reached for Y/N’s hand and lightly kissed the back of it.

Victoria let out a laugh, “Regardless, as we’ve gotten to know each other really well over the years. You have truly become like a sister to me, being a sympathetic ear when I need it when it comes to the kids, and always being someone that I can rely on.” Victoria lifted up her glass, “To my brother and sister-in-law.”

Everyone drank from their glasses and Nico and Victoria’s boys drank from the little glasses filled with sparkling apple cider that mimicked the champaign.

Martin had stepped away from the DJ setup with an announcement of the first dance for the bride and groom with Geri taking the mic. Y/N’s eyes widened seeing Geri holding the mic as Max took her hand and led her to the center of the dance floor. Max pulled her into his chest as Geri’s voice filled the room to Ed Sheeran’s Perfect playing as they swayed to the music with him occasionally spinning her.

The song was coming to a slow close when Nico had walked up trying to slip between his parents. Max lifted Nico, dancing with them for a moment. Then set Nico down so he could dance with Y/N for a few moments while he went to dance with Sophie for the next song.

Nico ran off when the song had ended and Christian had walked onto the dance floor. “Do you mind Y/N?”

“Of course not Christian.” She said before he pulled her into his arms.

“I’m sure you’ve heard it plenty of times in the last few days but you’re good for him. Not when it comes to him racing but just for who he is as a person.”

She gave Christian a nod, “He’ll never tell you this, but you’re a second set of parents to him,” She said gesturing to Max who had pulled Sophie onto the dance floor, “and a great grandfather to Nico.”

Christian gave her a nod back and then turned his head to see Daniel standing there.

“Father daughter dance is over. Mind if I cut in?”

“There has been a lot of cutting in.” Y/N said to Daniel.

“You’re in a room full of F1 drivers, it’s going to happen quite a lot.” Y/N rolled her eyes at him and then let Daniel pull her in. Christian walked back to his table and offered his hand up to Geri.

Max had pulled Y/N away from the dancefloor after the fifth driver on the grid had pulled her in to dance with them so that the wedding cake could finally be cut. It was a three tier white cake with the groom in a race suit that was fashioned to look like a tuxedo and the bride standing at his side.

They both managed to interlock their arms taking a bite from the cake, Max’s lips covered in the white ganache frosting and then she lifted the plate to his face and let it smear all over his skin trying to avoid his eyes.

The plate fell away and he had a devious expression on his face and she knew that she was in trouble. He reached for her and pressed a cake covered kiss to her lips before wiping any of the excess cake from their faces.

They left to clean up further and came back to the party with Daniel having the photographer's camera in his hand. He started taking candid photos. Daniel had gotten a picture of most of the wedding party and went looking for Max and Y/N after they had disappeared for a little too long to see them making out by the service entrance to the house and snapped a quick picture before leaving them to their fun.

It was a while later that Max and Y/N rejoined the party long enough to throw the bouquet out into the crowd of young “single” women; Daniel’s longtime girlfriend of two years had caught it and then they made a final round of all the guests before leaving the party. Daniel was the only one whose eyes went to the couple noticing Y/N’s hair fall out of her pin backed look.

“Have a nice time.” Sophie said as Nico stood with his parents holding her hand.

“We will,” Y/N said before Nico reached for her as he pressed his face into the skirt of her dress.

“We’ll be home in two weeks, be good for Oma, okay?” Y/N asked Nico. As they left to get into the car to leave for the hotel for their early morning fight, Nico gave her a nod and hugged Max with a silent goodbye hanging in the air, giving his parents a final wave.

Fuck it Friday 🔥

tagged by my beloved @bidisasterevankinard @tizniz 💖

putting the Fuck in Fuck it Friday with something of a throwback. Every fic that I write has parts that get cut. Stuff that I adored but just didn't gel with the rest of the story. So I keep all that in a notes file because you never know when it might be useful for something else. here's a smutty snip that got cut from Eddie and Buck's drive in date in whatever may come (your heart I will choose)

Buck shimmies himself to the floor, wedging in the space in a way that can’t possibly be good for his leg. “Should you—” “‘M fine, promise,” he insists, looking up at Eddie like he’s near begging and hoping he won’t be told ‘no’. “Just wanna make you feel good, baby. Let me do that. Please?” For all the space he takes up, Buck seems small by the time ‘please’ spills out. Like he’ll only feel worthy if Eddie agrees. His fingers are already on Eddie’s belt, ready to unbuckle it the moment he’s allowed.  They’ve talked about it some, the way Buck feels the need for approval. How he seeks out validation through sex, even now that he’s past his 1.0 stage. Eddie’s still not entirely sure what that means, but he’s learned enough to tell when that’s what Buck is looking for or when he’s simply trying to discipline himself for some perceived wrongdoing. Right now, it seems like a bit of both.  “Sweetheart.” Eddie tips Buck’s head up, so he’s forced to make eye contact. “Remember what I said. There’s no earning here. We can go back up front, watch half the universe disappear, and that’s more than okay.” “I know. I just- please, Eddie. I just want everything to be perfect.” 

He could say something like ‘it already is’, but he knows how much planning Buck would have done to put tonight together. All the behind the scenes work of coordinating schedules, persuading Bobby to let him off early if it was possible, making sure Christopher would be well cared for. Something like ‘it already is’ might sound too placating. He chooses to respond with something 16-year old Eddie never would have considered, let alone done. 

Eddie carefully cards through Buck’s neatly gelled curls. “It is. You are. You did so well.” He can see Buck already beginning to absorb the praise, wearing it like a blanket, sinking into it. “You put this all together for me. For us. I never had to say a thing, you just did it. Because you’re always thinking of other people. Christ, I don’t know how I ever got so lucky with you. You’re always so damn good for me.”

Buck’s fingertips are absentmindedly toying with the clasp on Eddie’s belt, making a light clinking noise. Eddie keeps talking, giving Buck what he needs.

“And, fuck, you’re so gorgeous. All the time, but especially right now. Those beautiful blue eyes and perfect lips. So fucking pretty.” Eddie lightly scratches over Buck’s wrists, his knuckles. “Look at you, so desperate already. Just waiting for me to tell you it’s okay.” 

“Mmhmm.” Buck nods emphatically in agreement. A small whine escapes and his breaths become faster, a little more ragged.

The personality shift always amazes him. As if chatty, exuberant Buck fades away, leaving a version that is a different type of attentive, blindly trusting whatever Eddie tells him. Eddie doesn’t personally understand, but gets that it works for Buck. And he’s not saying anything just for Buck’s benefit, he means every bit of it. 

“You can’t though, can you? Can’t wait to get my dick in your mouth, down your throat. But you have been waiting so patiently even though I know you don’t want to. Because you’re so, so good for me, and I haven’t given you permission yet. Should I?”

Buck pleads. “Eddie, I- please. Gonna be so good for you.”

“I know you are.” Eddie rolls his hips up into Buck’s hands, wants Buck to know the effect he’s having. He flicks his gaze down to his belt buckle, making sure Buck notices. “Go ahead then.”

The three words are barely out before Buck is undoing Eddie’s belt and zipper, opening his jeans just enough to get where he wants. Buck’s breath is warm and damp, mouthing at Eddie’s cock through his boxers, making Eddie’s hips jerk in response. Buck hums, nosing along the thin cotton, teasing like he’s making up for the minutes Eddie made him wait. Finally, he’s parting the slit in the fabric, swirling his tongue around the head, taking Eddie down in microbursts of time. Eddie grips Buck’s hair, not to force him down, just to show his appreciation. 

“That good, baby? Want more?” 

Christ, it’s infuriating how quickly Buck can slip into his cocky side, all smooth and velvet that could make Eddie do anything. “Fuck you. You know the answer.”

“Oh, I do,” he chuckles, adding a series of teasing licks around the head and over the slit. “I just want to hear you say it.”

Eddie waits until Buck is shallowly sucking the head and thrusts up into Buck’s mouth, only once, feeling drunk on the surprised moan it earns him. “You mean you want to hear how fucking talented you are? Because you know I love when you’re all sloppy and desperate, sucking me off like you’re fucking starving? How I can’t wait to come down your throat and watch you take all of it? That what you wanna hear?”

Buck gives a deep, throaty hum in response. The vibrations carry down Eddie’s shaft, making him even more wound up every time Buck’s head bobs, taking Eddie deeper. In the dark, he can’t see the way he prefers. He can’t watch the way Buck’s irises shift between shades, how his pupils dilate and the black dances at the edge of the blue. Even so he can still see the way Buck looks up at him through his lashes. Can feel the warm, wet pressure of Buck’s mouth surrounding him, pressing his tongue to the underside. And the light offers just enough so Eddie can see the slick shine on Buck’s lips. 

“Jesus, do you even know how hot you look like this?” Eddie growls, stroking Buck’s cheek. “How fucking perfect you are? Christ, you’re doing so well for me, being so good.”

He knows he should, but Eddie can’t bring himself to care about the other cars nearby. Not when the windows are dark enough and nobody can probably see them anyway. Not when Buck is sucking harder, and moving faster in response to Eddie’s praise coming out in words and grunts. Especially not when the pressure – pleasure – is coiling tighter, building until he’s digging his fingertips into the underside of his thighs when it all peaks, crashing over him and he can only hope no one else hears the cry that spills out. 

“Fuck,” Eddie breathes, content and boneless. “Definitely never had anything like that in high school.”

“Always happy to be of service.” Buck smirks and drops a kiss to Eddie’s softening cock before putting him back together. 

Eddie lazily grabs for Buck, pulling him up into his lap. “Now, what about you?”

“Oh, I can think of a few things.” 

They kiss, deep and slow, Eddie’s fingers tracing swirling patterns along Buck’s spine while he tastes his release on Buck’s tongue. 

“Think you can wait until we get home?” 

“I, uh, I guess?” Buck squirms a little, looking confused and trying to hide his disappointment.

“Perfect, because I have plans for you.” Eddie presses his lips to the tip of Buck’s nose, his cheek and chin, and finally a nip to the curve where his neck meets his shoulder. “How fast can you get us there?”

“Now?”

Eddie relaxes against the headrest, feigning indifference. “I mean our drinks are probably all watered down and your popcorn is gonna be gross now, but we can stay if you really want to.”

“We’ll be home in twenty,” Buck answers, already scrambling to get to the front, thankfully using the doors this time. 

It may not be what Buck originally planned, but, yeah, this is going to be a fun night.

[intothedysphoria]

Because Neil was an abusive bellend, which we all know, Billy was never able to celebrate his birthday between the ages of 7 to 18. And before that it still felt overshadowed by the presence of Neil looming over him.

His eighteenth was a little bit different.

He’d been dating Steve for almost three months and things had been going very well, considering a month before they’d gotten together they’d beat the shit out of each other. The only thing was is that Steve INSISTED on knowing his birthday. He was a giving sort, always wanting to do something special.

Billy told him he didn’t do birthdays, never had never would. Steve grumbled something like “We’ll see about that.”

It was a nice day for March, shit compared to California but it was the best Hawkins was going to get. Neil had pissed off somewhere. Probably the best present he was going to get.

And of course Harrington fucking turned up on his doorstep at 6AM. Susan was still asleep. Max should have still been asleep but neither of them had slept a whole night in a while. More surprisingly, she was dressed and not in some shirt she’d borrowed from Billy that was too big for her.

Of course Max had told Steve his birthday. The little fucker.

Morning was surprisingly ok. Steve let him drive the Camaro as fast as he wanted, despite previous insistences that it was “a fucking death trap Hargrove.” They had pizza which Billy hadn’t had since the move. It was nice. Peaceful.

Then noon hit and Steve dragged him to the Byers. Not his mansion of a place. The Byers. The place that had almost been taken over by aliens. Romantic.

Joyce Byers opened the door, wearing a party hat. Billy briefly considered faking amnesia. No Mrs Byers, I don’t know who you are. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience caused. Bye then.

But he loved Steve and honestly, Joyce reminded him of a slightly more dishevelled version of his mom.

Most of the balloons seemed to be Bar Mitzvah themed, which was later explained to be because Will had recently had his and those were the only balloons in the house. Both Jonathan and Will were there. El, who still kind of terrified him. Max, somehow. Henderson. Sinclair. Mike Wheeler (ugh). And for some reason, Hopper.

Begrudgingly, Billy had to admit that it was fun. They had a water balloon fight, Billy got to pick all the music, he actually got given his own cake and Joyce gave him a mom hug, which may have made him cry.

Hopper tried to talk to him, which was slightly awkward considering he was well aware of Billy’s view on cops. Still, he was alright for a pig.

And then there was Steve. His genuine, sweet boyfriend who’d obviously came up with this whole thing. They held hands under the table like twelve year olds when the cake came out.

He’d had worse birthdays.

spence-tober: day 17 - professor

pairing: professor!spencer reid x fem!reader (you are also a professor!)

summary: in which your class (and your boyfriend) surprises you

word count: 1519

warnings: proposals, fluffy,

spence-tober masterlist

“Hello everyone.” You greet as students start walking through the doors to the classroom. You glance up from adjusting your papers at the podium up front at the stage of the classroom.

It was just a regular Thursday of one of the classes you teach at the university, Introduction to Thermal Dynamics. You had been teaching in the Engineering Department for several years now and this was just one of the classes you taught each semester. Since the university you taught at was quite well known for the Engineering Department, the class was always one that students signed up for.

However, the university was fairly good at their main athletics, so it was rather unusual for so many students to come on time on a Thursday when there was an away game the next day. Many students chose to ditch Thursday class and instead drive where the game was gonna be and stay for the early game in the morning. 

You’re sure you have a slightly puzzled look on your face as you assess the amount of students that have already shown up, but you shrug it off. 

There was a test next week anyway, perhaps they wanted to participate in the study guide you had ready to revise for them today. You move on and go sit at your desk, sending some emails until the time on your computer finally reads 3:00 and class is officially started.

Now that all the students had settled into their seats, having their choice of computer, iPad, notebook or simply nothing at all on their desks, the final student count for the day was on the higher end, but once again, you brushed it off and continued with your class day.

After all, you didn’t want to discourage students coming to class.

You walk up to the front podium, facing the students, “Alright everyone. Today we’ll be revising for the upcoming test next week. I’ve printed out paper versions of the study guide I’ll be going over today or you can download it off the class page on blackboard under the work for this week.”

You hold up the small pile of papers in your hand and start passing them down the columns of students sat there in their desks, giving them the option to take one or not. Afterwards, you return to the front of the classroom and bring out your own filled out version of the study guide you just dealt. 

Standing at the podium with a overhead camera hanging above the study guide, you turn it on and turn your head to the whiteboard to make sure the projection is working. The classroom you’ve been given this semester to teach out of is quite big, the capacity for students is high and there is plenty of whiteboard space.

You’ve made it through half of the study guide, making sure to revise every part that will be on the test you’ve already created, when there’s a knock on the door. One of your students who volunteered to solve an equation on the whiteboard pauses at the noise, as you all do in the room. 

You always leave the door unlocked and you often don’t have many visitors during class hours, but when you glance over to the door, you can see cleary through the small window who the visitor is.

It’s your boyfriend, Dr. Spencer Reid. 

You and Spencer had met when you first came to teach at the university. Although you were in completely different departments, you in engineering and him in human and social sciences, you had come to know each other quite well as some of the younger teaching staff.

Spencer was the one who had asked you out first, however you were not too far behind in that endeavor, and since then, you had dated for about three years and been living together for almost two now. 

“Come in.” You say with a hint of uncertainty, also gesturing with your hands the instruction of what you spoke. 

Spencer sheepishly opens the door and lets himself in, “Sorry to bother you in the middle of your class.” He apologizes.

The student body knew of the relationship between Spencer and yourself so you didn’t bother try keeping it a secret. After all, it wasn’t like you were actively making out every second of the day. You both are professionals and beyond sharing lunch with each other and chaste pecks on the lips every now and then, the students didn’t have much insight in your romantic life. Much to their displeasure, that is.

You shake your head, brushing it off, “It’s fine, we’re just revising. Did you need something?”

Gesturing for your student to keep working at the equation on the whiteboard, you step off to the side a little and meet Spencer halfway for a bit more privacy.

“I, uh,” He starts to speak, reddening cheeks under the gaze of the students definitely not paying attention to the board currently.

Spencer clears his throat, slightly embarrassed, “I forgot the Amazon password.” He whispers.

You chuckle under your breath, “What?” A smile breaks out on your face, you just can’t help it.

“You know that I always show some of the Matrix in class when we’re going over philosophical moments in modern media.” He reminds you.

“And you’ve forgot the Amazon password?” You question with a goofy expression.

He nods and rubs the back of his head, “I know we’ve bought it, but I can’t get the password and I want everything ready before my class later.”

“It isn’t saved in your passwords on your computer?” You inquire.

Spencer shakes his head, “I can’t find it anywhere and I can’t seem to remember it.” He’s a bit bashful now, shuffling his hands behind his back and his feet against the tile floor. 

You muse to yourself that this is a very Spencer Reid thing to happen. Your boyfriend isn’t the best with technology and you’re often tasked to handle these things anyway. Hell, when you first met him, he still had a flip phone! 

It wasn’t like you could bash Spencer for being technologically challenged when you were often too dependent on your phone. Having troubles with the concept of time and getting to places without the aid of GPS. Spencer was definitely more equipped in those areas.

You place your hand on Spencer’s arm in a comforting gesture, “Let me get a piece of paper and write it down.” You say.

You go to turn around to do just that, walking towards your desk to retrieve a sticky note and a pen when you happen to take a glance at the white board again and stop in your tracks.

Not only is the student that you left up there to work on the equation beforehand still standing at the head of the room, two other students have joined her with expo markers in hand. 

The equation is missing from the whiteboard and the projection system is turned off and in big black blocky letters the words “WILL YOU MARRY ME” is displayed across the large whiteboards.

The rest of the students in the classroom either have their phones out or are staring directly at you, standing shocked and surprised with your wide eyes and open mouth.

Spencer clears his throat behind you and you turn back around to him.

He’s on one knee now and a ring box outstretched in his hand towards you. There’s a large, but nervous, grin on his face and his eyes gleam with excitement and happiness.

“Would you do me the honor and spend the rest of my life with me?” He asks. “Will you marry me?” 

The ring is just like you could ever have imagined. You and Spencer had talked about the future before and what that would look like, marriage and children and all that. Spencer had offhandedly asked your opinions on rings once and you made it no trouble to get your ring size with laying out your jewelry on your vanity in your shared bedroom.

You feel yourself nodding vehemently before you can even find the words to speak. Tears have been brought forth in your eyes and you know Spencer will later tease you about it.

“Yes, I’ll marry you.” You finally manage to say. Spencer seems to relax and his shoulders no longer seem stiff as he slips the ring on your finger. 

The rest of the class cheers as Spencer twirls you around, lifting you up.

When you come back down to Earth and pull back a bit from your embrace, the room has quietened down again though the air is still buzzing with excitement. 

A student, the same one as before at the whiteboard, comes up to you offering you congratulations. No doubt did Spencer put your class up to this, asking for their help in his proposal and it was really no wonder why the class was so filled out today either now.

“So,” She starts to say, “Does this mean you’ll both be Professor Reid?” She says with a pleased smile.

a/n: i like this one! i really didn't want to write a professor x student because that kinda just gives me really bad vibes... i feel like i am getting worse and worse at these summaries though

[sarcastic-sketches]

Kida reads all of the EDA's (mostly)

PART 1 #1 - #15

I started writing down my impressions of each of the books as I finished them, including the dates of when I finished them and any screencaps I took of my favroutie bits and then just ... kept doing it. I am not a fast reader by any means but these books have me hooked right now so I wanted to keep a record of my progress. [Part 2]

I'm using this EDA reccommendation list as a rough guide for which books I should absolutely not bother with and to brace myself for what I'm about to get into, so let's go~

#1 The Eight Doctors

25th November 2024 I honestly don't remember much of Eights shenanigans with his former selves since I'm writing this retroactively, and I vaguely put the timey whimey bullshit down to a metaphor for learning yourself over again. But I DO remember finding the events in 1997 funny. Not even 10 minutes since he landed in Totters lane and he'd incapacitated four drug dealers and then promptly got arrested for having said drugs in his possession (literally in his hand) just as the cops turned up. He does an excellent job driving the investigators around the fucking bend, once again proving to be the most annoying mf you will ever meet on any given planet he happens to be on at the time.

#2 Vampire Science

4th December 2024 This book is hysterical for a plot that has multiple people considering offing themselves at one point or other throughout the book. It also highlights that this incarnation is silmultaneously far more 'human' with his emotional availability as well how alien he is for Not Realising what he is doing.

Also shout out to these scenes in particular:

TARDIS gf confirmed

Fred the Eternal Snail we salute you

The idea that he has pet bats that he casually just grabs out of the air tickles me

Just this entire segment honestly. Eight is three years (?) into his new regen and has no idea his Charisma stat is that high. He used to have to actually do stuff before. Now he seems to do it by accident and honestly? That might just have worse consequences.

Really enjoyed the dialogue and characterisations, also the narrative had a personality too which I always enjoy.

#3 Bodysnatchers

25th December 2024 This was a bit of a slog to get through for me (as you can probably tell from the timestamp) as everything seemed to happen in the last 50 pages, but MAN Eight cannot catch a break even when they are trying to do the right thing for the right reasons. Very gorey scenes towards the end (not a complaint) but the environment descriptions were often oddly ... overly complex? I feel like it tried to give so much detail to describe the alien settings that often times it just became a jumbled mess. I struggled to actually picture the scene in my head most of the time.

#4 Genocide

27th December 2024 Despite the name, much more enjoyable read than the last one and kept a steady pace throughout. Bit disappointed they didn't lean more into the horror shit of finding Homo Sapien bones in an era far too early for them, only to find another has appeared retroactively since the last time the site was visited. But that just wasn't the story that was intended to be told, alas. Jo Grant appearance was nice though! I love former companions meeting later versions of The Doctor.

These can't possibly have any bearing on future events, right? Foreshadowing, what's that? -chuckles nervously-

#5 War of the Daleks

29th December 2024

I, ironically, forgor that this was mentioned as one to skip, but I got through it ok. The whole plotline of the Thals becoming warrior like because of the Doctor's interferance way back when he was One and more hands on (we don't talk about the Fire of Rome) was juicy.

This is Sams first encounter with the Daleks and man she is not having a good time between battling teenage hormones or the pepper pots tbh. Though, could do with less of clearly adult men eyeing up a seventeen year old as a viable target for flirting. I also got pretty sick of the 'yet another plot twist' pretty quick after the first 3... and we weren't done by a long shot.

(I can see why this was listed as a skip orz)

#6 Alien Bodies

2nd January 2025

Oooooh it's a biggy. I didn't go into this reading list completley blind and I knew this was a big hit and I can see why. This one kicks off with the Third Doctor giving Laika a funeral and burying her and WAAAAAAA - I immediately start crying whenever thinking about Laika.

The body horror in this one is superb, also I love seeing how shit scared the rest of the universe is of the Doctor - this is where the rumblings of war start and the hints of certain Sam related plot points I know will be coming up later get seeded.

(picturing the potential future of Time Lords as giant bat people is kinda cool ngl)

(Oh, Eight, buddy I am so sorry about what's lined up for you)

('hyperactive even as a corpse' shut up, I say, as I laugh to myself)

There's also bits in here that could tie in well with the Timeless Child backstory if you wanted to retroactively put them together which I just think is neat to consider:

#7 Kursaal

5th January 2024 Man oh man I loved this one. It had a fantastic start with a scene at the beginning right out of Dog Soldiers (one of my fave horror/sci-fi films of all time), only for the Doctor and Sam to stumble upon all the carnage and near immediately decide they need to get the fuck outta there. Do not investigate, do not pass Go, just hit the bricks. And it didn't stop there, the horror elements were played so well in my opinion and was all over a fun read. Was surprised more wasn't made of the green figure we see described in the mural of the central location this book is written around, seeing as Eight wears green all the time and later Sam gets given some green scrubs. Maybe it was implied somewhere and I just missed it (would not put it passed me).

The Doctor actually showing he can BE a Doctor with a medical degree and all apparently. Despite Eight's (reasonable) fear of Hospitals.

(Eight canonically being traumatised by his experience in American Healthcare hospital is such a good take. He's holding back the flashbacks by the skin of his teeth)

Also carrying on his tradition of Grand Theft Auto only this time he stole a cop car and then masterfully dodged said cops. Phenomenal.

(I want more bitchy Eight)

Sam was excellent in this book, still written believably as a teenager but still given the space to show initiative of her own.

#8 Option Lock

9th January 2025 Have I mentioned how funny Sam is? She's hysterical.

The two seemingly completely related plot lines running in parallel at the start reminded me of The Monks episode in Twelves era, flashing between the pyramid and the growing lab incident. Then it gave me vibes similar to the Apocalypse serial from American Horror Story what with the secret society all working behind the scenes though for very different reasons.

Also someone please help this autistic man, they are not thriving

(Honestly same)

#9 Longest Day

25th January 2024 Again, from the timestamp you can probably guess how this one is gonna go. This one wins the record of introducing a character within the opening pages of the first chapter that I quite happily saw die and Sam is once again subject to the rampant sexism that pervades the entire cosmos apparently?? Sci-Fi of the 90s I guess...

This was another book that took me an age to get through because it just didn't keep my attention that well. Characters doing actions. Characters I don't really feel emotionally invested in one way or another, which is just as well. Sam and The Doctor are now separated through no agency of their own.

There were some fun passages though:

Eight is such an asshole, I laughed so hard at this exchange, I love them

Wasn't The Doctor's tutor Borusa?

As introductions go, this one's fairly efficient

#10 Legacy of the Daleks

25th January 2025 From what I'd seen it was best to skip this one (especially since Susans family situation gets retconned in the audios, which I've already listened to) so I skimmed it for Susan and Eight interactions... of which there weren't any. It doesn't progress Eight's search for Sam either. He picks up a kitten at the end thats about it as far as continuity goes.

This section got me though, I can hear the sass that Nine will weild later to lethal effect

#11 Dreamstone

26th January 2025 This was a fun one, mostly for all the different characters and how interesting they all were. I kind of predicted where they were going with the crystals and thought they could have done more with them but, ultimately, this was a story about human nature not the stones really.

Sam really developed a lot in this story realising that making decisions isn't easy but making them for herself all the same. The Doctor is just good at making it look easy so people go with it. If you look confident about a decision people argue less and waste less time

#12 Seeing I

26th January 2025 Seeing I is here!! I'd heard good things about this one. I felt Sam was really trying to bite off more than she could chew but thats 17yr old pride for you. Only to fucking smash right out of the park and break through that barrier she'd been struggling with to become her own person. The Doctor once again weaponising his ability to be the most annoying mf on any given planet to get his way. At least, until his meddling came and bit him in the ass and bit him hard. The fact that he was still suffering from those consequences even after the event had passed was very good. Japser and Stewart mention <3

#13 Placebo Effect

Skipped.

#14 Vanderdekens Children

28th January 2025 I actually really liked this one. It turned into another sci-fi tropes I love to see but mostly the Messing With Gravity thing. It did remind me a little of Event Horizon, looking for faster than light travel by simply going from Point A to Point B without actually travelling anywhere only to not realise where the Point B might end up. Ships haunted as a result naturally. Then you find out why.

I do like The Doctor very obviously using hypnotism in this book to calm someone down and being utterly guileless about it too.

You can tell Sam's time away has done her the world of good, she's looking to The Doctor for direction less and less and trusting herself more.

Glad to see some things never change though

Ah yes, a scene familiar to anyone who has ever played or seen Alien: Isolation.

#15 Scarlette Empress

1st February 2025 Scarlette Empress is so far one of my favourites simply for the insights it gives us into each of the characters from their own mouths, right next to how they are perceived by the characters they are sharing space with. Actually, this whole book is kind of about challenging your perceptions of others and yourself. Huh.

These two sections were fascinating to me on how The Doctor perceives himself through the interactions of others. He's about 7 years into his current Eighth self and still working out who he is and I don't think that ever stops.

Old Empress who lived in a jar for thousands of years like a genie gets freed and, as my friend described it, 'Comes straight out of the jar hornier than god'

This guy has The Traumatic Experience With Spiders in one of his earlier lives and now needs back up. Sam is that person who gets the cup and a piece of card while The Doctor is standing on a chair - he doesn't want to kill it he just wants it away from him... Only to then befriend said Spider in the next few scenes because of course he does. Turns out it's half the size of Iris' double decker bus and bored as all hell.

[misscammiedawn]

would love to hear more about the twist hidden in the character playlist!!

Okay. Out of respect for the privacy of my tablemates who are no longer in my life I've decided to only discuss my portion of the campaign and not link to any art. Which is a shame as there's a lot of really good art.

The too long didn't read version is "the lyric says "oceans away from the dawn, oceans away from who we really are" and was picked to foreshadow we would cross an ocean into Arcadia and be confronted by the original version of the character, Tyler Dawn.

Also. Why not. Let's make this a story time, if only to see if I can still do Tyler's character voice. (CW: fake American accent - also we are WAY out of practice for it and when we try to unsuccessfully switch to Honoria voice our grip on it falls apart)

"Hello, my name is Tyler and welcome to "Ask Tyler", question today is "what was the hidden twist in your character playlist?"

Okay. Well. Our first campaign was a Mage The Awakening campaign that lasted about 4 years of weekly sessions. Three player characters and a GM. There's another story time segment that gives the full story here but the original plan was to play a female character named Camden Dawn but due to spouse veto we went with her younger brother, Tyler instead.

This is the Tyler voice, by the way. I sometimes like to joke that he transitioned after the campaign to become Taylor Dawn.

Religion plays a big part in his backstory being raised by strict catholic parents in a rural town but I want to skip the small details for now.

So Tyler starts the campaign as a career student wannabe fantasy author who is kidnapped by a high society mage who runs a tass empire. He likes to claim newly awoken mages and lock them in his mansion under the guise of teaching them sheltered from the world that would do them harm. His true intention is to curate their education and grow dependency upon him so when they are brought out into the supernal Fallen World they'll remain loyal to him.

There's more to it than that but that's not my story to tell.

During their captivity some former apprentices who have a grudge against him try to make contact when our party are out on missions and use us as moles to get to the big man himself. Which leads to Tyler being selected to pose as a tass dealer from Wisconsin. She's designed to look like someone from the teacher's past. The goal is to seduce him and earn his trust.

This leads to Tyler being given the disguise of Honoria. The day we played Honoria for the first time was an eye opening experience for everyone at the table. I legitimately don't know if the rest of the story was planned prior to that or not.

But after Tyler gained Honoria as a cover he got to go on dates with the teacher that lead to a gala being held by the Vampire Prince of Chicago (circa 2012) in which Queen Titania of the Seelie Court of the Fae showed up and instantly saw through Tyler's glamour and decided to play a prank on him.

Titania would end up becoming Tyler's "nemesis" character, every player character had a god tier villain assigned to them outside of the campaign villain.

As part of Titania's prank and payment for a poorly worded agreement Tyler made before understanding how Fae Contracts work, she took Honoria out of Tyler's heart. Stole her away to Arcadia.

Glossing over a lot but the season ends with a huge dungeon event and part of the event has the teacher, who Tyler and another PC are deeply fond of by this point, being claimed by Titania for reasons that escape me.

By the way, Tyler has a REALLY bad memory. His sister, Camden, is in the story as a therapist who is worried about him and a lot of Tyler's connection to his childhood comes from her reminding him of things. She gets him to write constantly in a journal. Something I adapted well enough that I have detailed notes of most of the campaign on my hard drive.

Anyway.

After season 1 we get our image CD.

I do not have the jewel case with the explanations any longer but these are the songs.

More Than Fine by Switchfoot was the song with the spoiler in it.

More than oceans away from the dawn More than oceans away from the dawn More than oceans away from who we are More than oceans, more than oceans, yeah

So. Season 2 required the party to travel to Arcadia to get our teacher back. In trying to meet with the Changeling community of Chicago to get information on how to find The Hedge Tyler starts scaring some people and Changelings are either skittish or hostile towards us. Though some take pity on Tyler in specific. Especially if he mentions what happened with Honoria.

The spoiler is that Tyler is a Changeling. The real Tyler Dawn is "oceans away" in Arcadia and being held as a chess piece on the board (chess was a big motif). He was kidnapped from his bed by Titania herself when Tyler was just a child, replaced with a version of him who was a little bit off and would have act like a fox at times.

Camden, who witnessed the kidnapping but is not attuned to the supernal world, rejects the truth of what she sees enough that she is convinced her brother suffers a severe dissociative disorder and that what she witnessed was likely obfuscating a darker truth that she gets a headache if she thinks about too hard.

But that's only a part of the truth.

Tyler is a Changeling. That much is true. But he is also a prison for a Fae. A fox king who once held the title of Good King of Arcadia. Titles in World of Darkness (at least as we played it) are entirely separate characters created from legend. They can occupy the same body or be split, though splitting power divides the Fae's ability. The big thing is that by adding a human into the mix there is a division of soul that goes into it. Tyler has the ability to feel emotion (rather than emulate it) and can create. Honoria has this whole thing about learning to write and cook while in Arcadia and managing to gain a lot of clout and thus power by doing so.

Over the course of the campaign Tyler gains a few different titles including Sionnach the Fox King, Good King of Arcadia, Mr. Fahrenheit, Captain Sionnach and of course Honoria (Baker of the Rising Dawn). Honoria herself has a few of her own titles but we're way off topic.

The reveal of Tyler being a Changeling or Fae was a big deal in season 2 and though heavily foreshadowed it did not really get revealed until we reached the White Queen's palace and found Original Tyler waiting for us, desperate to get his life back from us. He was a blot of ink with the word "REVENGE" appearing all over his body.

Anyway. I think the question has been answered by now. I thought it was pretty cool, anyway.

[heyftinally]

Here's a hard question...

Are there any Taylor Swift songs that you like? Or at least find tolerable?

Y'know, that's a complicated question.

I used to like her music. I wouldn't have called myself a swiftie in any way, but I had several of her albums on my mp3 at the time, and I owned three CDs.

That was in high school, when her music was at the same maturity level as myself. I listened to "fifteen" the morning of my 15th birthday. I listened to "superstar" on the drive to my first concert, dreaming of the disney-channel-level meet cute I was highly unlikely but desperate to have with my celebrity crush. Heck, I remember singing "teardrops on my guitar" in my grandpa's car when I was in middle school. He thought it was awful, but as a country fan he put up with it because I liked it, and he wanted us to have that to connect over - I wasn't the biggest fan of his music, nor he mine, but that was our middle ground for a time (and Dolly Parton, who was my grandpa's favorite).

So in some ways, beautiful eyes to sparks fly Taylor Swift music reminds me of a variety of moments in my life, most of which I remember with a kind of slightly cringey fondness. I was a CRINGE teenager, but I know that I was cringe due to how socially stunted I was thanks to how I was raised. So I don't look back on that version of myself, because she was doing her best to build an independent identity with nothing but a few caricatures from TV shows, the morals of many books, and an internet connection.

That said, Taylor Swift is still Taylor Swift. Her shortcomings are inextricably tied to her work. So in general, her music puts an unpleasant taste in my mouth. If made to listen to her music I prefer the older stuff that at least has that nostalgia for me, but given the choice my nostalgia music doesn't include her.

Her current stuff ranges from just flat out bad (FUCKING KARMA) to just so out of touch that it's no longer entertaining to me.

I'm not who I was in high school anymore. That was ten years ago - I've lived at least three lives since then. That little 16yo girl who feared she was doomed to be unlovable and desperately needed fanciful daydreams like "today was a fairytale" to make her believe that one day she would be wanted is now an adult who understands that relationships aren't that simple, and that I had a LOT of healing and self understanding to do before I was truly ready to date. Taylor's music, a decade later, still sounds like my unhealed high school self. And I've grown too far from that place for her music to resonate with me.

So I guess the short version is, not by choice, but I can find nostalgia in her older songs if I have to. And truth be told, if she was a better person, I could probably enjoy those songs again. But I don't forsee her becoming a better person, so her songs with remain where they lay in my opinion. The old stuff was okay, maybe even decent, and enjoyable enough for my teenage hopelessly romantic self. But to my adult self, that's like asking me if I was to re-do freshman year of high school: it was fun, but I'd rather keep it in my memories than my present.

History

KRO is conceived and designed by Kenneth Franklin when he working for Knight Industries. Car is supposed to be a new and refined version of KITT and KARR, complete with additional features and an alloy composed of a nano-polymeric compound which surpassed original Molecular Bonded Shell in resilience and stability.

KRO's main cybernetic processor was based upon schematics of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand, Knight Industries Three Thousand) and KARR (Knight Automated Roving Robot, Knight Auto-Cybernetic Roving Robotic-Exoskeleton) and constructed by Garth Knight, his company Eques Industries. KRO is programmed with a male personality and bound to protect human life. Although he will kill a human unless ordered to. However, Kenneth say better use for "him" in Foundation's crime-fighting crusade and eventually system was installed in vehicle. KRO was in fact second vehicle built by Knight Industries with an artificial intelligence. His was K.R.O. (Knight Reformulation One). KRO was programmed for self-preservation, but this proved to be dangerous to the Foundation's interests. KRO was later deactivated and placed in storage while KRO was given to his new operator Martin Marcus.

Unlike KRO, KRO is programmed primarily to protect Martin and all human life at all costs. This is made clear when Martin asks James Marland if KRO will protect anyone driving it. James's answer is that KRO's primary function is protect of human life, and Martin's in particular.

KRO's Chassis was ultimately destroyed in a two vs one Battle with KRO (Knight Reformulation One). Although his Neural Processor Unit is saved by Martin Marcus, Garth Knight, KITT (Knight Industries Twelve Thousand) and KARR (Knight Agent Road Robot).

In 2023 Garth Knight and Kenneth Franklin found and rebuilt KRO in Satellite Surveillance Center, so they takes them, put them back together and combined features from KITT (Knight Industries Twelve Thousand) and KARR (Knight Agent Road Robot) with new ones aswell into one car Knight 12000 and together Martin with help of KRO they seek out to make a difference in world once more.

KRO's Features:

KRO is loaded with special features, most of which can be activated by buttons on panels to either side of steering wheel or on a console on ceiling of interior.

Some of KRO's features include following:

Computer AI - "brain" of KRO is Knight 12000 Neural Microprocessor, center of a "self-aware" cybernetic logic module that allowing KRO to think, learn, communicate and interact with Martin and others humans.

KRO is fully aware of himself.

KRO is a highly ultra-advanced quantum neural-net supercomputer on wheels. KRO's reaction time is 1/10 nanosecond, and his memory capacity is over unlimited quettabytes, also KRO's microprocessor can operate with 800 trillion operations with access time in 1 nanosecond.

KRO was programmed to obey all orders given to him by his human designer and creator, so long as humans didn't violate his prime doctrine - directive of protect human life (especially Martin's) to best of his abilities.

System can drive car better than any a human operator can be.

He can provide music, video and video games via an in-dash entertainment system, which is two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors and windscreen projection.

Armor - KRO has a layer of woven Teflon armor along his interior cabin while beneath his nanoskin is a tungsten-carbide and cobalt-chromium steel support lattice which maintains his structural integrity. Molecular Bonded Shell - Molecular Bonded Shell casing encases his cabin compartment to protect his driver from harm. Nanotech Skin Repair - His nanoskin which overlays his armor and molecular shell are just as fast and versatile as KITT's and KARR's, able to repair damage quickly as well as alter his appearance, changing his paint job at will if he so chooses. His nanoskin is not equipped for absolute stealth, though he does have a stealth mode. This stealth mode is essentially a matte black angular version of his attack mode which allows him to drop from radar like any stealth vehicle.

Molecular Bonded Shell - KRO is armored with "Tri-Helical Plasteel 2000 MBS", or Molecular Bonded Shell plating which protects him from almost all forms of conventional firearms and explosive devices. They can only be harmed by heavy artillery and rockets, and even then, blast usually leaves most of car's shell intact and only damages internal components. Shell protects every part of car including tires. As a result, KRO could act as a shield for explosives by driving over bombs and suppressing blast. He can literally drive over Anti-tank mines to neutralise them.

Shell also protects against fire and electricity; however, it is vulnerable to some potent acids and at least one formula was made to completely neutralize shell. Long exposure to seawater can weaken shell.

Shell provides a frame tolerance of 550,000 lb (275 tons) and a front and rear axle suspension load of 200,000 lb (100 tons).

Shell is actually a combination of three secret substances referred together as "Knight Compound". It was developed by Wilton Knight who entrusted parts of formula to three separate people. Each individual knows only two pieces of formula, ensuring that any two of them could make more of Knight Compound in an emergency situation and that no one person would be able to make it. Garth Knight and Kenneth Franklin upgraded MBS to be even more powerful by 300%, making KRO most indestructible Knight Industries vehicle ever.

Pyroclastic Lamination - KRO is protected by a thermal-resistant coating that can withstand sustained temperatures over 4980 degrees Celsius.

Power System - KRO is powered by highly modified turbine ramjet engine with highly modified afterburners and a computer-controlled 10-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with autopilot. Sound of KRO's turbine ramjet engine is rough and fierce. Specifications: 800 PS and 800 N⋅m, 0 to 62 mph in 0.286 seconds, ¼ mile in 4.286 seconds. Electromagnetic hyper-vacuum water-cooled carbon-ceramic disc brakes: 9 ft., 9 ft. braking distance (70 to 0, 300 to 0 mph).

Rocket Fire Boost - KRO has an internal self-charging rocket fire boost system. System consisted of a series of rear mounted undercarriage rocket motors which allowing car to accelerate to speeds in excess of 500 mph. Rockets can fire both forwards and backwards as needed.

System has one secondary use:

It can be using to provide power for pushing or pulling heavy objects when necessary.

Turbo Boost - KRO has an internal self-charging turbo boost system. System consisted of a series of rear mounted undercarriage rocket motors which allowing car to accelerate to speeds in excess of 500 mph. Rockets can fire both forwards and backwards as needed.

System has one secondary use:

It can be using to provide power for pushing or pulling heavy objects when necessary.

Turbo Boost - An internal self-charging power injector system that allows for large, but long amounts of power to allow KRO to jump over obstacles and to move forward, up, left, right, or reverse at high speed for long distances. This ability along with directional exhaust outlets allows KRO to jump from a standstill or at high speed and this ability with ion boosters and mini thrusters allows KRO do a Ski Mode.

Rocket Fire Motor - KRO also come with an internal self-charging rocket fire booster for providing a long burst of speed. It is concealed behind rear number plate, which flipped upwards and retracted into body of car.

Voice Synthesizer - KRO's Voice synthesizer allows KRO as well as other similar vehicles logic modules to speak and communicate. Other sounds, such as a police raid to fool criminals or a wild animal's growl, can also be simulated. Voice Synthesizer "speaks" through Voice Orb Modulator in interior of vehicle. KRO's primary spoken language is English, however by accessing his language module, he can speak fluently in German, Spanish and French. Module can also be adjusted to give KRO different accents.

Electronic Jamming System - KRO has an Electronic Jamming System which consists of three main components: Electromagnetic Field Generator, Electronic Field Disrupter and Microwave Ignition Sensor. System can take control of electronic machines, allowing such diverse activites as cheating at slot machines, breaking electronic locks, scrambling security cameras, and withdrawing money from ATMs. System is using most frequently to disable engine and activate brakes on a fleeing vehicle. Sometimes, KRO using system to magnetize and manipulate non-electronic objects such as a mechanical combination lock, and to create "poltergeist" activity, moving random objects to frighten people.

Anamorphic Equalizer - Equalizer device is a fiber-optic array of electronic "eyes". Scanner can see in all visual wavelengths as well as X-Ray and infrared. When KRO's surveillance mode was active, bar will light up and make an ominous swooping sound as it panned left and right. Occasionally, bar pulsed in different patterns and swept either rapidly or slowly. It is possible to disable KRO's electronics by penetrating equalizer with a laser making this one of his few vulnerabilities.

Etymotic Equalizer - This system allowed KRO to hear sounds. An array of audio sensors were threaded throughout his interior and exterior.

Aroma Monitor - KRO can "smell" via a much more complex atmospheric sample device mounted in his front bumper.

Microscanners - Microscanners are tiny audio and visual sensors embedded into grooves of KRO's body. They allow for visual tracking and display of anything around car.

Cruise Modes - These are KRO's three drive modes:

Normal - On "Normal", Martin had control of car. In an emergency, KRO can still take over and activate Auto Cruise mode. In order to prevent this, Martin has to use Manual Override.

Auto - In "Auto", KRO has an "Alpha Circuit" as part of his main control system, which allows CPU to drive himself utilizing a highly advanced Auto Collision Avoidance system.

Pursuit - "Pursuit" is used during high-speed driving and is a combination of manual and computer assisted operation. KRO can respond to road conditions faster than Martin's reflexes can; however, Martin is technically in control of vehicle and KRO helped guide certain maneuvers.

Silent Mode - KRO can run silently. Feature dampened his engine noise and allows him to sneak around.

Computer Override - KRO has a hidden switch and setting dial under dash that either completely shuts down his AI module or deactivates certain systems should need arise.

Manual Override - KRO has a function which can be activated in order to completely lock AI from all vehicle controls. Unlike Computer Override, Manual Override simply keeps KRO from activating Auto Cruise or preventing anyone inside car from doing something that would probably hurt them. KRO's AI is still able to protest such actions vocally.

Adaptive camouflage - KRO is equipped with a sophisticated cloaking device. Tiny cameras project what they see onto a light-emitting polymer skin on opposite side, rendering car effectively invisbile to naked eye.

Police Lights/Siren - KRO has police lights, and he has a siren in Police mode.

Grappling Hook and Winch - KRO has a hidden winch and grappling hook system, one mounted under his front bumper, and another in a compartment behind his tail light plate. Most often hook is connected by a strong cable, but a metal arm has also been seen.

Parachute - KRO is equipping with a parachute.

Oil Jets/Smokescreen - KRO can spray an oil slick and a plume of smoke from under rear bumper.

Machine guns - KRO has twin M134 Miniguns, concealed behind each of its retractable headlamps.

Flamethrower - KRO have flamethrowers mounted under his rear bumper.

Tear Gas Launcher - KRO can dispense a cloud of tear gas along with his smokescreen.

Rocket Fire - KRO can to fire a small rocket out of his tailpipe or retractable foglamps, also can launch magnesium flares which can also be used to divert heat-seeking missiles fired at him.

Anti Missile Flares - Deploying from rear bumper of KRO. Disk-like objects that when dispensed produce an intense heat source to deter heat-seeking projectiles.

High Traction Drop Downs - When activated, HTDD system hydraulically raises KRO's chassis for better traction when driving off-road.

Traction Spikes - When activated KRO's tires will have spikes coming out in order for KRO to drive up steep off-road hills.

Telephone Comlink - Martin can contact home base and communicate with others people using KRO's two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD TFT LED-LCD video display monitors and windscreen projection.

Surveillance Mode - Surveillance Mode do several things:

Surveillance Mode with extended range up to 50 miles

ANPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition)

Speed radar front and rear

X-ray/infrared spectrum vision, Geiger counter, UV meter, camera, sound recorder

Lockpicking, computer cracking and information altering/removal

Scrambling electronic devices or vehicles

City Safety-like auto braking

Also, stuff like:

KRO can detect people and vehicles and track their movements and discern proximity.

KRO can gather structural schematics of buildings, vehicles, or other devices and help Martin avoid potential danger when he was snooping.

KRO can also monitor radio transmissions and telephone communications within a location and trace those calls.

KRO can tap into computer systems to monitor, download, alter, remove or upload information as long as he can break access codes.

Infrared Tracking Scope - KRO can monitor position of specific vehicles, including cars or helicopters in the area within 100 miles. For instance, if Martin wanted to know location of every cars or helicopters within 70 miles, KRO can display a schematic on his monitors of all vehicles, including police vehicles relative to his position and KRO can monitor position of very specific vehicles, including police cars or police helicopters in said or given area within 20 miles.

Laser Powerpack - KRO can fire a high powered ultra-frequency modulated laser capable of burning through steel plating. Like most of KRO's components, schematics for laser device are top-secret classified.

Bomb Sniffer - KRO has a bomb sniffer module that can detect explosives within 5 miles (8.0 km) of vehicle or by using a satellite connection uplink.

Bio Matrix Scanner - KRO have a medical scanner that includes an electrocardiograph (ECG). Medical scanner can monitor vital signs of individuals and display them It could indicate such conditions as if they were murdered, injured, poisoned, undergoing stress or other emotional behavior. KRO can even monitor Martin's physical activity through sensors inside driver seat. KRO can identify a humans by fingerprints, voice analysis, retina scan, or by face recognition. It used to detect health status of persons in immediate area and scanning vital stats of anyone in his passenger cabin, including heart-rate, breathing, temperature and brain-wave activity.

Reinforced chassis- KRO's chassis has been reinforced to withstand impact damage from firearms or sledgehammers. Front and rear windscreen are both bullet-proof with ultra-tough glass.

However, his complex fuel processor allows him to run on any combustible liquid, even liquid nitrogen gas, liquefied natural gas and liquid petroleum gas. KRO's actual fuel requirements and efficiency ratings were top secret classified, however official rating of KRO's fuel economy was 100 miles per gallon, but KRO mentioned fuel economy is 525 miles per gallon. It is means that KRO can measured his fuel economy for any combustible liquid, even liquid nitrogen gas, liquefied natural gas and liquid petroleum gas. However, when operating on fuels other than liquid cryogenic rocket fuel, KRO's fuel efficiency and power output may be lowered.

Electrochromic Windows - KRO's windows can change tint on motion: from transparent to opaque for various situations.

Voice Stress Analyzer - KRO can process spoken voices and determine if someone may be lying.

Auto Doors, Hood, and Trunklid - KRO can automatically open and close his doors and Trunklid. He can also lock his doors to prevent unauthorized entry into his driver compartment. He can also open his hood automatically.

Rotating License Plate - KRO can rotate his "KNIGHT" license plate to reveal a fictitious one reading "SPYCAR". Martin uses this to evade police when an APB was placed on him.

Seat Ejection System - KRO have two front ejection seats, mostly used when Martin needed a boost to fire escapes or building roof tops.

Passive Laser Restraint System - Restraint system helping protect Martin and any passengers from shock of sudden impacts and hard stopping, it is a primitive form of an inertial damping device.

Video Display Monitor - KRO has two 16-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD instrument cluster display monitors and two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors on his dashboard for various readouts. They are controlled by two systems, Graphic Translator (which sketches likenesses from verbal input) and Anamorphic Equalizer (which gathered visual information from KRO's front scan bar) and microscanners.

Windscreen Projection - Basically, entire front windscreen is configured to display extra information and aswell as display video communication link with other people.

Computer Printer - KRO can print incoming documents and incoming faxes, hard copies of data and faxed messages on a dashboard-mounted printer. It also doubled as a color printer/fax machine.

Radio Scanner - Mounted in two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors, radio scanner was capable of eavesdropping on civilian, police and military radio frequencies.

Revolving number plates - KRO is come with rotating number plates, some of which included: "SPYCAR" or "KNIGHT" (US), "BMT 216A" or "BMT 214A" (UK), "4711-EA-62" (France) and "LU 6789" (Switzerland). Martin uses this to evade police when an APB was placed on him.

Miscellaneous Items - Along with his nanoskin and automatic tire repair systems, KRO can forcibly jettison any passenger within his interior as well as any objects in his trunk if it necessary for Martin.

Holographic projections - KRO can project holograms of himself, as seen when he and Martin are being chased by a cop. These clones have different actions seemingly based on his personality or actions and will dissipate on command or when hit by someone with force.

Molecularly Transformation - KRO has ability to split into Molecules to change appearance.

Vehicle transformations - KRO has unique ability to change between multiple vehicle forms while prime is Nautical Blue and Diamond Black 2021 Shelby Cobra GT500KR Super Snake. Forms he takes do not affect size or weight when in robot form and they share same color.

Chemical Analyzer - KRO has a retractable tray with anelectron scanner that can analyze chemical properties of various materials. It can even scan fingerprints and read ballistic information off bullets and compare these with a police database. Aside from scanning tray, system can also analyze chemical information gathered from KRO's exterior sensors. KRO has an anelectron scanner that can analyze chemical properties of various materials. It can even scan fingerprints and read ballistic information off bullets and compare these with a police database. Aside from scanning tray, system can also analyze chemical information gathered from KRO's exterior sensors.

Fire Extinguisher - KRO can put out small fires from a CO2 sprayer in his bumpers and retractable headlamps.

Interior Oxygenator - KRO can release oxygen into his driver compartment and provide air to drivers and passengers if he was ever submariged in water or buried in earth. This is also used to overcome effects of certain drugs and alcohol.

Two-Wheel Ski Drive - Ski Mode setting allowed KRO to "ski" (driving up on two wheels).

Third Stage Aquatic Synthesizer - With this system, KRO can hydroplane, effectively "driving" on water, using his wheels and turbo system for propulsion.

Amphibious Mode - KRO can float and maneuver on water like a speedboat. Transforming components include wheel arches that turn into closed arches and one propeller which emerge from lower rear of vehicle.

Submarine mode - KRO has ability to transform into a two-man submarine. Transforming components include wheel arches that turn into fins and four propellers which emerge from lower rear of vehicle.

Torpedoes - In submarine mode, car can fire small, highly explosive guided torpedoes from a launcher located in car's radiator grille. Two torpedoes can be fired at a time, with a total of 30 torpedoes storing on-board.

Remote torpedoes - While submarine, KRO is equipped with with two remote-controlled torpedo launchers on either side of car and are concealed behind side vents. A total of 15 missiles are equipped.

Sub Zero - KRO can release cryogenic gases and "flash freeze" driver compartment.

Remembering a Zen Master (and Perfectly Messy Human Being)

Three years ago today my root teacher in all things contemplative, Wonji Dochong (Paul W. Lynch) passed away. I'm resharing in his honer the reflection I wrote for him in processing my own loss that day:

“Early this afternoon my friend and dharma uncle Zen Master Ji Haeng (Abbot and Guiding Teacher of the Zen Center of Las Vegas) reached out to me with an urgent message to give him a call. Immediately having a guttural sense of the direction that conversation would likely go, I made the call, and did in fact receive the sad news that my dharma father, and Ji Haeng’s best friend, the iconoclastic Zen Master Wonji Dochong (Paul W. Lynch) had passed away.

I first met Paul “Dochong” Lynch, as I knew him then, when I was nineteen years old. I’d made my way through the dharma world for some time, having already lost an early mentor to his own passing, and Paul took me under his wing immediately, in a way that no other Zen teacher (or any other Buddhist teacher for that matter) that I’d encountered to date could find time time to do. We had an instant affinity in both wit and zeal, and as I’d later understand it, common neuroses, that carried us far.

When I first started working with Popsanim (a shortened version of his teaching title at the time, indicating his receipt of “Inka” in 2006 from his own teacher) I was a smart-assed kid, who could be appropriately pious, while yet -secretly- thinking that I knew faaaaaar more than I in fact did. Popsanim knew all of that, he welcomed me, loved me, and perhaps most important challenged me anyway. After all, as Paul would often say (parroting a fortune cookie that he famously “received twice in his life”) “you think it is a secret, but it never has been one.”

As I write this, I’ve just finished looking through many year’s worth of photos and memories with my husband (also a one time student of Popsanim’s). We’ve shed a fair amount of tears and just as many smiles, in the way that you do when faced with a loss that has been expected for some time, but somehow still manages to find a way to be surprising. Looking back, our time together was something of a venerable whirlwind. From our midnight koan-filled phone calls when I was working second shift at the world headquarters of the Unity School of Christianity in a 24/7 “prayer/crisis hotline,” to hosting retreats in the basement of my father’s home, and along those lines enjoying *real* wasabi for the first time (in full dharma-drag) at Siki, a hole-in-the-wall sushi joint in Lee’s Summit Missouri. This was especially significant as Popsanim was famous for his mad love of o’toro sashimi paired with the “big bottles” of Ichiban and/or Sapporo beers, and literally all things faaar too spicy for the palate of reasonable people. As I’d later find out, Popsanim frequented some of the finest sushi restaurants on the West Coast, where he was known by name to the owners, and despite all of the money he’d spent (and we’re talking significant sums, as a Porsche driving, high-earning Huntington Beach tech firm owner), he’d still never encountered *real* wasabi. It’s a wonder that we ever changed our ritual of post-retreat precept breaking from Siki to the array of Kansas City Barbeque joints we’d find our way to in subsequent years.

Early in our relationship I distinctly recall working with Popsanim to transliterate the dharma name that I’d received on the occasion taking refuge vows with a local Tibetan Buddhist teacher (“Gendun Phuntsok”), and it rendering as “Wanji” in Sino-Korean. This was a very odd coincidence, or as others might say synchronicity, given that the transmission name he’d received from his own teacher (but had not yet put to public use) was “Wonji.” “Perfect qualities” and “original wisdom” respectively - one sound with distinct meanings, a mirrored or inverse image of how our relationship would progress.

A couple of years into working nearly daily with Popsanim in one-on-one dharma discourse, he made me the “National Abbot” of his religious order. Shortly thereafter I had undergone the biggest heartbreak of my life to date, and slipped into a deep depression and a good bout of alcohol abuse for several months. With Popsanim’s guidance (and the support of my dad along the way) I found my way through. I still remember his words during my recovery (or better put, integration) phase from that incident, where after I’d had adequate time to lick my wounds he looked at me kindly, yet firmly and said “Josh” (breaking from the norm of using my, our, dharma name) “I am sorry that you are experiencing this, and, you needed this.” “I can’t believe you just said that,” I retorted (he knew my then ex-boyfriend well and had celebrated the puppy-dog love that was ours with us over several shared meals on various visits to town). “It’ll make sense in time, trust me” Popsanim said, closing with another one of his famous one-liners “it’s all good.” “I do trust you, but I’m not so sure,” I said. Looking back, of course, he was exactly right, and that particular heartbreak was a turning point in my cognition and spiritual life that vividly persists to this day, and that has deeply informed my decade of marriage, and well, life since generally.

About a year later Paul “Dochong” Lynch (Popsanim) became Wonji Dochong (Seonsanim). Having been made a teacher himself in 2006 (as noted above), his own Zen Master was scheduled to undergo a complex heart surgery that he was not expecting to survive in 2008, and in preparation for that event he privately conferred upon Paul full dharma transmission (along with passing a signed certificate of transmission for his other senior student, and inka certificates for several juniors) with the expectation and express instruction that these titles and positions would be assumed in 5-6 years. As things go, his teacher survived the heart surgery, and subsequently a falling out was had (with a couple of those designated dharma heirs, actually), and Paul persisted in his teaching. In fulfillment of the instructions his teacher had given him before his heart surgery (such as engaging several teachers outside of his own tradition, and waiting the requisite period) Wonji Seonsanim assumed the position he had been privately granted publicly. This would become a controversial matter in Paul’s teaching life, but there is no doubt that the dharma was his life’s work, and no political affiliation or opinion of anyone else would do to slow his efforts.

As for my part, Paul, now Seonsanim and I had many heated discussions about his needing to publicly explain his dharma transmission for the sake of his students, at least. He had the documents, he had very clear emails and letters with instructions on the matter from his teacher (and many others, that painted a fairly negative light on his teacher’s behalf), and he had completed the formal training in his lineage with a public recognition from his teacher, where he is recorded as saying “if you want to understand my mind, study with Paul.” Seonsanim insisted, however, that despite the difficulties, he had no interest in sullying the reputation of his own teacher with these matters in his twilight years. There was a respect on Paul’s behalf that it took me many years to understand, digest, and by now appreciate. In an interesting turn of events, he has now been survived by his (significantly older) teacher, never having publicly resolved the matter.

On the same weekend, during a national sangha gathering for our order, Paul made me a teacher by conferring Inka to me at age 23. This was in many ways a great curse, and in just as many ways, a great blessing. I had no real business being made a spiritual director at my age, and especially on the timeframe that I was “booped.” But, this was upaya- skillful means. I’d “finished” the koans common to our lineage, done the standard sutra study, sat many retreats, and learned to perform the liturgy with precision. To be honest, I was also already playing the part, engaging in koan introspection with members of my own burgeoning sangha without express permission…Seonsanim knew that too, no secrets, remember? All that was left was to fall on my ass, time and time again, publicly. Inka, and the “venerable” title it conferred, gave me just that opportunity. And, somehow, I’ve persisted in this practice, and have had students come-fellow-sojourners accompanying me that whole time, with many more that have fallen away- some due to my own ample incompetence (unfortunate collateral damage on the way to becoming at least somewhat lucid), and others to their own, and still others to causes and conditions that just add up, with mutual blessings on our respective ways.

The years that followed were fascinating. Paul, or Wonji as he had become full time by then, gradually saw his business fail to a recession, with six-figure invoices going unpaid. Keeping a “don’t know mind,” and “only going straight” (catch phrases of his grand-teacher Seung Sahn that he’d often invoke), Wonji displayed little worry, and simply responded in step to his experience. Eventually he was forced to vacate his Huntington Beach condo, and take up the life of an itinerant monk (via an ordination that I arranged), finding his way to the doorsteps of the Zen Center of his life-long dharma brother and best friend, Zen Master Ji Haeng. I recall my respect for Wonji through this significant transition, and his precise continuation of his work according to his life conditions. When it became clear that his old way of life had “dried up,” he struck out anew living at the margin of society via the voluntary goodwill of his students, only growing more devout in his own commitment to the dharma. He said to me that all of this change was “no problem,” and that his life circumstances “were now allowing him to do what he always wanted to do.”

Within a couple of years the board of the Zen Center had taken umbarage with a controversial teacher in the same lineage running an nationwide, somewhat competing teaching operation under their roof, and it became clear that Wonji’s situation was yet again to be changing. By this time my husband and I had decided to renovate the home that he had purchased for $12k a couple of years before on the far east side of town into a temple of sorts, and invited Wonji to come and live with us as we set out to establish a residential Zen training community that lovingly became known as “the Abbey.” Again, without missing a beat, Wonji jumped at the opportunity (having run several residential centers in the preceding decades himself) and I flew out to Las Vegas, packed up a 36 foot U-Haul with his mostly-dharmic belongings, hooked up his aging Lexus SUV to the back of it, and made way with him to Kansas City, in the first of what would become many nation-spanning road trips for us.

Within moments of arriving in Kansas City, my students had pulled up in mass and we had the U-Haul unpacked in less than an hour. Having stripped the house down to bare concrete floors at the time, Zach (my husband) and I were in the middle of rebuilding the kitchen, and were cooking out of an electric skillet on a plastic folding table, and doing dishes in the bathtub. Gradually we refinished the house, several times actually (as it turns out having 7+ people, Buddhists or not, sharing a 3.5 bedroom, 1200 square foot house, open for public practice is rough on a building!), but we never did get around the renovating Wonji’s room. He was content to move in atop a couple of heirloom carpets and pieces of furniture in his possession, and to cover his walls in Buddhist tapestries and various photos and certificates.

In the ensuing five years that we lived together, our local community grew and grew, typically attracting 40 people for Friday night Zen practice, which would spill out into the hallways of the church facility we rented, and our national sangha expanded significantly as well. This resulted in Wonji and I, often with Zachary in tow, setting out coast to coast on teaching tours to visit our communities and dharma friends. We slept often in dharma halls, sometimes in guest rooms, frequently in hotels and motels (scary and fine alike), in tents in the desert, and on one particularly memorable occasion on some bare astro-turf on a garage floor, after having broken down (one of several times) and winding up stranded in the high desert for several days.

On these trips, particularly to the West Coast Wonji introduced us to some of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at to date. In Huntington beach alone I distinctly recall several sushi meals at HashigoSushi HB (who as we’d later found out DID have *real* wasabi). Yakitori and Shabu Shabu at Sakura, where Seonsanim would hysterically, obscenely and routinely, every year eat his age in numbers of capsaicin drops (well into the 50s, mind you) each time with a manager having to get involved as they typically didn’t even allow more than 5 or 10, and of course hibachi at Matsu. We discovered innumerable fantastic Indian restaurants (arguably the only thing Wonji enjoyed more than o’toro tuna sashimi), and drank copious amounts of alcohol. This, as it turns out, would gradually become more and more of a problem as time went on.

Actually, getting literally falling down drunk with your spiritual preceptor and director is quite an experience, one that in many ways cemented our knowing of one another. Seonsanim and I were both, for the most part, happy, sappy, loving drunks. We’d listen to classic rock, and devotional music (especially of Indic origin) for hours, discussing the finer points of spiritual experience and life at peace within samsara, or perhaps take a turn to read poetry (another of Seonsanim’s favorites), quoting back and forth bits of pieces of Rumi, Hafiz, and Hanshan in tandem with lyrics from The Cranberries, or Joni Mitchell, and we’d inevitably over the years find ourselves, multiple times, sobbing to Peter Gabriel (specifically, “In Yours Eyes,” featuring Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and “Red Rain” with Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe – the greats my own parents had taught me to love, as much as Seonsanim did organically). In those moments I learned how to doff any notions of awakening, or religion, status, or gender norm, and just be. Blessings, all of these experiences, most profound.

Living in such close proximity, we all came to know one another well. Seonsanim would all at once celebrate the innocence and joy that is my husband and I singing poorly in the shower (the bathroom being adjacent from his room), and poke fun at our marital arguments diffusing often obnoxiously tense moments. We’d joke about Wonji’s nocturnal schedule, and wonder at how he kept up such a busy schedule, meeting with students sometimes for 12 hours back-to-back for hours on end, moving freely between shouting at the top of his lungs, to cackling with laughter, somberly listening, and often extending his trademark, “grandmotherly” and gentle koan response to an off-base answer of “you ask me.” And of course, we had familial moments of trying to figure out how the hell we could all continue to live with one another, amidst our human frustrations.

Wonji was a huge man, in personality and in stature. Toward the end of our living together, he had succeeded as somehow persisting on a steady diet of beer and ramen, mostly as a hermit. I frequently worried about him, and confronted him accordingly. I learned that Wonji was a unique kind of alcoholic, who drank not out of a sense of chemical dependency, but out of sheer choice. On more than one occasion I witnessed him “quit cold turkey,” only to pick his habit back up in several weeks, or even a couple months out of what I can only identify as sheer boredom, and an increasing tendency to purposefully wallow in the meaning that he found in the shadows of his past. His teaching gradually became more and more loose, and authorizations began to be handed out easier and easier.

By 2015, I had been recognized two other times as a dharma teacher in transmission ceremonies in the Vietnamese and Korean transmissions that can only be described as unique, Wonji and my husband both having witnessed the near instant recognition that became enduring relationships that would take me around the world on teaching tours, to the White House, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, and elsewhere. Through this, Wonji and I began to grow distant in our approaches, me as a “journeyman” teacher, setting out into the territory of orthodoxy that I believed to be a correction for the loosening and evolving training offered by my root teacher. Nonetheless, Wonji Seonsanim approached me and noted “I know you don’t need it, but I want you to have transmission from me.” With that, my dharma brother Hwasahn LeBlanc (one of Wonji’s students for nearly two decades) and I publicly received dharma transmission from our teacher, as his first two dharma heirs. Following us in the next two years, three more of the original students in our nascent community received the same authorization(Jishou Sears, Doshim Halaw, and Chong’an Denton) with that I fully believe that Seonsanim came to view his work as complete. His life became something of an autopiloted process, and he began to quickly physically decline.

In 2018, with Seonsanim nearing the age that he could collect his retirement, we made the difficult decision to close “the Abbey,” with Zach and I moving into a newly purchased 600 square foot tiny home, and Seonsanim working to relocate back to California to be nearer to his son, Olias, and the coast the raised him. It was a bittersweet parting. Truly.

One of Wonji’s final teachings to me, as it became clear that while our dharma vision was unified our voices were becoming quite distinct, was that I “would have to find a way to learn that other people don’t think like [me],” alas, another enduring blessing guised as a curse.

Over the past several years, Seonsanim and I stayed in touch several times a year with brief messages back and forth, paling in comparison to the jovial laughter, fierce debates, loving hugs, and tear-filled conversations of years past, and gave our mutual blessings. Me, realizing always just how important his teaching had been to my life in deeper and deeper ways, expressing my appreciation, and he similarly for my free sharing of the blessed vision that comes with the unclouding of dharma eyes. I simultaneously appreciate his grace and regret that it took me so long to just see him as he was, and know that he lived his life exactly as he wanted to, with agency transcendent of the things I could protest, legitimately or not. That said, there was nothing left unsaid between us.

Paul was born to an Irish mother and a West Texas (as I recall) hailing airman of a certain generation, who loved one another and their children immensely, but were quite conservative in the physical and verbal showing of their feelings. Sometime in his 40s, before his parents entered their own phases of decline, he was moved by Frank Ostaseki’s teaching “The Five Invitations.” In fact, so much so that the “invitations” themselves became as much a dharma teaching as any other in his repertoire. As he often offered them the invitations are: “Don’t Wait,” “Welcome Everything, Push Nothing Away,” “Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience,” “Find a Place to Rest in the Middle of Things,” and most importantly “Cultivate Don’t Know Mind.” I recall Paul tearfully sharing how applying these things led him to begin hugging his parents and telling them he loves them, not expecting these things in return, but eventually seeing them mutually flourish, to the point where he was able to be with both of his parent on their death beds, holding their hands as they took their last breaths, with “nothing left unsaid.”

A few weeks ago, Paul called me out of the blue, I was out engaged in some unmemorable ado, and saw the missed call too late. I kept telling myself that tomorrow I’d return the call. More ado. Tomorrow, then…and more ado. I never got around to it. Now, today, I can hear Seonsanim’s voice still teaching, echoing through my head “don’t wait.”

Paul, I love you. Thank you. I’m sorry that I waited. And, as you know and I know, and as I know you know I know, “it’s all good.”

~Josh

P.S. In the coming months and years, the many students that Seonsanim left behind will have to find their way in his substantial wake. There will be many decisions to be made, with options ever erring toward transparency, honesty, and integrity, and of course, otherwise. My prayer is that the otherwise can be avoided, and that we will collectively be able to celebrate all that there is to celebrate, and leave behind that which should be left behind. I’m haunted by the words of a mentor of mine, who Seonsanim came to regard as something of a nemesis in the world of institutional Zen politics who once said: “While Paul, to my understanding is a lay teacher, he is a real Zen teacher.” These are wise words to remember, and its our job to continue them as a reality.

Something here compels me to also recall a story that Wonji’s closest student’s will know well, in regards to him riding off on a bicycle from an unnamed group meeting on a beach stating in parting “Those who speak don’t know, and those who know don’t speak.”

Let us remember well our teacher, Paul W. Lynch, the Zen Master Wonji Dochong (1957-2021) and do well to his memory.”

The violence Monday at The Covenant School is the latest to roil the nation. Three 9-year-old students were killed as the head of the grade school, a custodian, and a substitute teacher.

The suspect, Audrey Hale, 28, was a former student at the school. Police said the shooter did not target specific Hale was not on their radar before the attack. Police say Hale was under a doctor's care for an undisclosed emotional disorder.

Police have released videos of the shooting, including edited surveillance footage that shows the driving up to the school, glass doors being shot out shooter ducking through one of their videos, which shows a woman greeting police outside as they arrive at The Covenant School on Monday are all locked down have two kids that we where they are,” she tells the police.

Engelbert replies woman then directs officers to Fellowship Hall and says people inside had just heard gunshots. “Upstairs are a bunch of kids,” she says.

Three officers, including Engelbert, search rooms one by one in the school, and one officer says to climb the stairs to the second floor and enter a lobby area. “Move in,” an officer yells. Then a barrage of gunfire is heard.

Hands away from the gun," an officer yells twice. Then the shooter is shown motionless on the floor detailed map of the school, including potential entry points, and conducting surveillance of the building before carrying out the massacre, authorities said.

Police response times to school shootings are under greater scrutiny after the elementary school massacre in Uvalde before law enforcement stormed the classroom. In Nashville, police 14 minutes passed from the initial call about a shooter in the school to when the suspect was killed, but they have not said how long it took them to arrive.

Surveillance video of The Covenant School grounds released by police shows a time stamp of just before 10:11 a.m. when shot out by the shooter. Police said they received a call about a shooter at 10:13 a.m. but arrived, and the edited bodycam footage didn’t include time stamps. A police spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to an email Tuesday asking when whether any version of the video stamps.

Police have given unclear information on Hale's gender. For hours Monday, police identified the shooter as a woman. At a late afternoon press conference, the police chief said Hale was transgender. After the news conference, police spokesperson Don Aaron declined to elaborate on how Hale was identified.

In an email Tuesday, police spokesperson Kristin Mumford said Hale “was assigned female at birth. Hale did use male pronouns on a social media profile.”

The victims were children Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all age 9. The adults were Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61.

The website of The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school founded in 2001, lists Katherine Koonce as the head of the school profile says she has led the school since July 2016 as a substitute teacher, and Hill was a custodian, according to investigators.

Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake did not say what drove Hale but said in an interview with NBC News that investigators believe the shooter had “some resentment for having to go to that school.”

Drake provided chilling examples of the shooter’s elaborate planning for the targeted attack, the latest in a series of mass shootings in a country that has grown increasingly unnerved by schools.

“We have a manifesto, we have some writings that we’re going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident,” he told reporters. “We have a map of how this going to take place.”

Authorities said Hale was armed with two “assault-style” weapons as a handgun. At least two of them were believed to have been obtained legally in the Nashville area, according to the chief. Police said a search of Hale’s home shotgun, a second shotgun, and other unspecified evidence.

President Joe Biden said he had spoken to the Nashville chief of police, the mayor, and senators in Tennessee. He pleaded with Congress to pass stronger gun safety laws, including a ban on assault weapons.

Congress has to act, Biden said. The majority of the American people think having assault weapons is an idea. Founded as a ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church, The Covenant School is in the affluent Green Hills neighborhood just south of downtown Nashville that is home to the famous Bluebird Cafe, beloved by musicians and songwriters.

The school has about 200 students from preschool through sixth grade and roughly 50 staff members. Before Monday’s violence in Nashville at K-12 schools since 2006 were killed within 24 hours, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. In all of them, the shooters were males.

The database does not include school shootings in which fewer than four people were killed, which have become far more common in recent years. Just last week alone, for example, school shootings happened in Denver and the Dallas area within two days of each other.

At The Covenant School, officers began clearing the first story when they heard gunshots on the second level, Aaron said. Police later said the shooter fired at arriving officers from a second-story window.

Police identified Engelbert, a four-year member of the force, and Collazo, a nine-year member, as the officers who fatally shot Hale. The surveillance video released Monday shows the shooter’s car driving up to the school from multiple angles, including one in which children can be seen playing on swings in the background. Next, an interior view shows the glass doors to the school being shot out and the shooter ducking through one of the shattered doors.

More footage from inside shows the shooter walking through a school corridor holding a gun with a long barrel and a room labeled “church office,” then coming back out. In the final part of the footage, the shooter can be seen walking down another long corridor with the gun drawn. The shooter is not seen interacting with anyone else on the video, which has no sound.

Aaron said there were no police officers present or assigned to the school at the time of the shooting because it is a church-run school.

Jihyo’s 22nd Birthday

Part 165(TIS)

— A lot of smut and Jihyo’s first time anal.

Today is Jihyo’s Birthday and you have planned a small date for just the two of you. You remember that Jihyo mentioned how much she wanted to go to the Bathhouse the time the members went. From what the members told her she said that she wished that she could of gone. Lucky today, you’re going to make that happen.

It is 9:00 am in the morning and most of the he members are up, jihyo has given Jisoo her breakfast and gotten her ready. You asked Mina and the other members if they could watch Jisoo while you and Jihyo were out for half of the day. They agreed and were looking forward to spending some time with Jisoo.

“Make sure that everything is ready for Jihyo’s birthday party, okay” as you talk to some of the members that were at the dining table. “No problem, we will have everything set up by the time you two arrive” responds Sana. “Enjoy yourselves” winks momo.

After you and Jihyo are ready you both head out and drive off. “I’m so happy that you’re taking me to your friend’s bathhouse.” “I’ve been wanting to take you for a while now, but couldn’t. So this time I made sure that we have time to ourselves” you say.

“I wish we could of taken Jisoo we us, but you’re right, we need some time to ourselves” says jihyo as she grabs your right hand. “Yes, I can’t believe that she is already a year old. I still remember her in your tummy” you say. “Aww, I know. I kind of miss the pregnancy experience. The feeling of creating a new life with the person you love” replies jihyo. “That’s true, Jisoo our bundle of joy.”

“What about Sana, has she said anything about her getting pregnant, yet?” jihyo asked. “No not, yet. Not that she has mentioned anything” you reply.

After some time you both arrive to Samantha’s Bathhouse and text her that you have arrived. She comes out and your both greet each other after not seeing each other since last year. “Happy New Year, haha its been a while” you say. “Happy New Year! Is this Jihyo” says Samantha.

“Yes, I’m Jihyo. Nice to formally meet you. Sorry that I couldn’t meet you last time. I volunteered to take care of the kids.” “Aww that’s sweet. How old is your child?”

Jihyo pulls out her phone and shows her a picture of Jisoo during her birthday party. “Aww she looks so cute, she looks so much like you” comments Samantha. “I know right, I’ve been told she is a miniature version of me. Look I even have a picture of my Jisoo with her two sisters” as she slides to a picture of Jisoo and the twins. “Aww that’s so cute, are those twins?” asks Samantha. “Yes, they are Jisoo’s younger sisters” “Wow your body looks great for having three kids” says Samantha. “Oh no, they’re not mine, they are Mina’s as she pulls out a picture of Mina with the twins in her arms.” “Y/n, you been really busy huh, got yourself a little harem huh. Three kids with another one on the way.”

“Haha, my y/n has been busy, he’s really good at spreading his love around” exclaims Jihyo. “If you’re happy that’s all that matters, right” says Samantha.

“Okay, lets go in and get you two ready” as she walks you both to the changing room. “Me me back outside so we can get you both ready for your massages.

You and jihyo get undressed and into more comfortable clothes and wait for meet up with Samantha. She escorts you to the massage room where two employees greet you. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. y/n. We will be your masseuse for today. After the massage you both relax in the quiet room and even take a nice needed nap.

Once that was over you Jihyo asks you to accompany her to the hot bath and take a nice dip. You agree and walk together to the edge, you see her until her bathrobe and drop it on the floor. You see her oily and smooth body from head to toe due to the massage from earlier. She grabs you by the hand and says “come on, take off that robe and join me.”

As you both get inside of the hot bath you see relaxed, you both side next to each other and begin to talk about how much you needed this trip together. “I’m so glad we came her , just the two of us. I missed our alone time” said Jihyo.

“Me too, being with all the members and the kids is fun but at the same time it can be exhausting.”

“Yes, being in charge of eight other people can be stressful sometimes but coming home to our daughter is worth it.

“She’s grown so much this past year. I kind of missed you with your belly and enlarged tits” you says.

“Stop, you’re making me embarrassed. I also miss when you used to fuck me while i was pregnant.” Hearing this was making your member wake up from its slumber. “Remember when I asked you to fuck me for the first time while I was pregnant. You were scared that it would hurt the baby.”

“Yeah, I was so childish huh.” “Oh, nothing about you is childish, on the contrary, you’re big” as she begins to massage your cock.

“Ahh fuck… Jihyo. Not here… someone might come and see us” you say painfully.

“Don’t worry about that, who cares if they catch us. You’re mine, this cock right here is mine and i want it” as she begins to jerk you off. “It’s been a long time since you’ve been inside of me and I feel kind of neglected. You been fucking others but not me. So im gonna have you, even if you don’t want to” as she grips your cock, tight.

“You’re… squeezing it too hard… it hurts..” as she is beginning to dominate you. She then proceeds to kiss your neck and says “ima make sure these girls know who owns this body. You’re mine, okay. I’m just lending you for a bit but you’re mine.”

“Jihyo, i thinking I’m going to cum.” “Try to hold it in a bit longer, okay. Don’t get the bath dirty, I’ll find a nice place for you to cum.”

She lifts herself and wraps her legs around your waist and says “okay, you can coming in here” as she aligns your cock towards her entrance. “Okay, I… fuck” giving you no opportunity to speak as she impales herself with your cock. “There, that’s better, we’re finally together.”

She begins to ride you slowly, making sure that your cock scrapes her inner walls. “I missed this, having you inside of me.” “Jihyo, I’m about to cum.” She pulls you in and whispers “how about we try for another one” she says as you automatically shoot a large amount of cum inside of her.

“Ahh…. That feels so warm… inside of me.” “Is that what you wanted” you asked.

“Yeah, I miss your cum inside of me” as she begins to ride you in the water. “It feels so different having sex in the water” you say. “Yeah, it does.”

You grab her waist and make sure that your cock reaches her deepest parts as she rides your cock.

After a while of having her ride, you notice that’s she’s starting to get red from the heat. “I think it’s time to get out, Jihyo.”

“Aww I don’t want to. I want you to keep fucking me” she whines. “How about we continue this later” you say.

“Really? We can?” she asks. “Yeah, it’s your birthday.” “Okay, but make sure you fill me up, tonight” Jihyo winks.

You both then get out of the water and get changed. You thank Samatha for allowing you to reserve the place once again and say your goodbyes.

“Can I drive back home?” jihyo asks. You then toss her the keys and she smiles. “Finally, I get to drive this fast car.”

She turns on the car, pulls out from the parking lot and steps on the accelerator to get on the highway.

“Okay, just be careful okay. I know you like to drive fast but we have to get home in one peace” you tell her. “Don’t worry about it. You know I’m a good driver. I’m just excited because I don’t get to drive this car often” she says. “Me we can get you a nice and fast one if you’d like.” “You’re serious?” “I don’t see why not but only during vacation though.”

You both get home and make sure that Jihyo is the first one to step into the house.

“Surprise!!

Jihyo is startled but quickly composes herself and sees that Jisoo is walking towards her, wearing a nice dress. She waddles to Jihyo as Jihyo squats to catch her in her arms. “Aww my baby wanted to greet me on my birthday?” Jisoo smiles, making Jihyo tear up. “Why don’t you give your mom what you made Jisoo” says nayeon. “What did you make?” as Jihyo looks to find a piece of paper in her pocket. She takes out the paper and finds that it’s a small painting of Jisoo’s hand. “Aww this is the best present I’ve received, thank you jisoo.”

“I thought Jisoo was the best present you received” shouted Chaeyoung. Jihyo turns around and glares at her. The members just laugh at Chaeyoung as she hides behind momo.

The celebration continues as the members have made a nice dinner with mostly your help. The bring out a cake and have Jihyo blow out the candles. “Make a wish!” shout the members.

“My wish is that we all stay together as a family. That we are all healthy and enjoy our lives together. Also continue being Twice and showing out love to Once.”

Hearing that has made some of the members tear up since they know how important they are to Jihyo. They gather around and hug her tightly as you try to record this beautiful moment.

Jihyo looks towards your direction and says “we can’t forget out y/n. The best dad that our daughter could have.” “That’s right, the best daddy” says Mina. “Yea! Best dad” says Dahyun as she rubs her belly. “Best future daddy too!” shouts Sana, which causes the others to laugh. “Yes! Best Daddy!!” shouts Tzuyu.

“Aww, tzuyu. We meant dad for the girls hahah” says Jihyo.

Momo and Chaeyoung trying to be pranksters say “can you be our daddy too y/n” as they wink.

“Yah!! Momo, Chaeyoung, stop messing around. Hearing that makes them quickly apologize.

The party continued and the members drank since it was the start of the weekend. Jihyo also joined in on the drinking too since she was known to be a heavy drinker. You on the other hand, wanted take a few slips here and there but still sober.

The party ended when Jihyo got you by the belt and said “come pretty boy, you’re coming back with me tonight.” This comment made the rest of the members gasp from excitement because it was rare for Jihyo share information on your sex life. “Jeongyeon unnie, take care of Jisoo, I’m going to be enjoying my birthday present tonight” as she dragged you towards her room.

“Jihyo, you’re being so proactive tonight” you say. “I wasn’t satisfied with just the appetizer, I want the whole course.”

She opens her door and pushes you to the bed and says “makes sure you’re undressed when I come back” as she walks to the bathroom. You quickly undress and wait for her to come out.

She opens the door and you can see her beautiful tan skin with a very sexy black lingerie.

The black lingerie just makes her look gorgeous, the bra doesn’t not cover her beautiful light brown nipples but instead shows it completely. It does give it some volume has it holds then together in place. Her bottom piece is just spectacular as it is a crotchless, which shows off her beautiful cunt.

“Wow you look amazing” you say in awe. “I hope you like it. I got this at Sana’s friend lingerie store. I thought I could wear something more sexy for you.”

“I…I really like. I love it” you tell her. “I so happy that you do because I want you to fuck me with it.”

“Oh… I will. Since it’s your birthday. It’s going to be all about you.”

“That’s good. Then I want you to eat me”she says as she bites her lip.

“With pleasure” as you go in for a passionate kiss. You then place her on the bed and see how beautiful she looks on top of it.

You take her legs and spread them wide open, revealing the crotchless lingerie and her shaven cunt. “Wow, it’s so beautiful, I’m going to enjoy my meal.” You proceed to kiss her thighs, then her tummy and work your way down.

Once you’re in front of her folds, you split them open and see that her nectar is beginning to leak. “You’re already wet, Jihyo. You really want this bad huh.” “Yes, I’ve been wanting you for a long time” she replies.

You then proceed to spread her open when more and see that her cervix is releasing a flow of nectar that you humbly taste. “Hmm, it taste sooo good Jihyo, your taste is so addicting” you tell her.

“Do I really taste that good?” she asks. You nod and then use to fingers to insert it into her leaking cunt. You work your way inside and scrape her walls, causing her to release a sexual moan.

Wanting to hear a bit more you stir your two fingers around, trying to collect as much of her nectar. You eventually pull them out and see that your fingers are completely wet, dripping nectar. You place your fingers on her lips and begin tracing them to coat her of nectar. Then you proceed to slowly insert your fingers into her mouth. She licks her own nectar from your fingers and says “I do taste good, you’re so lucky you’re the only one who has had the chance to taste this” says proudly.

“You’re right, I’m the luckiest man alive” you say. “Of course you are. Imagine what Once would do if they found out that you took my virginity” said Jihyo in a joking manner. “Let’s not focus on that” as you burry your face onto her wet pussy.

You use your tongue to the best of your abilities and try to dig your way to the farthest point of her juicy cunt. “Ahh… fuck, I can feel your tongue, scrapping my walls” she moans out loud.

Getting the reaction you wanted you proceed to tease her a bit and give her a small bite on her clit, which makes her twitch and gush out cum all over your face.

“I’m sorry y/n, I couldn’t hold it and didn’t warn you ahead of time” as you wipe the fluid of your face. “It’s okay, it just shows that you’re enjoying it.

“Let me service you now” jihyo says but you reply with a no. “It’s, your birthday today. You’re the one that will get serviced tonight.” Your responds makes her smile and she goes straight for a kiss. Your respond back with a passionate kiss and slowly knead her exposed breast from the lingerie she was wearing.

You then sit on the bed and spread your legs and ask her to get in the chairman position. “I want you to see yourself as you cum in front of the mirror.” “What do you mean” she asks. You then point at the long mirror that is mounted on the door. She turns around and says “I’d like that.”

You move your right hand towards her entrance and begin to rub on her folds, just before insert your fingers. Get gasps as she feels your cold fingers inside of her “ahh… your fingers are cold.” You then proceed to scrap the inside of her walls at a slow pace. She has her hands placed on your thighs and begins to grip on them when you begin to pick up the pace.

Her wet and spongy insides have a nice texture to it like tofu as you rub your fingers against it. She begins to moan “finger me faster, make me cum.” You do as she says and begin to pick up the pace, stirring her insides to the best of your abilities.

She then begins to shake, making you realize that she is about to cum. “I’m about to cum, d..don’t stop” she shouts. To make her cum faster you grab her lift breast and begin to pinch and rub her nipple with your two fingers. “No, not my nipples, they are sensitive” she moans out loud.

You have her were you want her and with one final pinch from both her nipple and her slit she squirts all over the floor, even having a few of the droplets stain the mirror. Your hand is a mess as it is completely wet from when she squirted, but also your left hand is dripping from the milk she squirted from her breast.

“I cant believe you came from both your cunt and from your breast, you’re such a horny girl, Jihyo.” “I’m not horny all the time… well not anymore” she says. “Let’s see if that’s true” as you go for a second round.

It second around doesn’t even take more than five minutes. She came more aggressively this time compared to the first and you had to hold her so she didn’t slip off from your tights and onto the floor.

Her shaking lasts a good minute as you were able to hit all of her sensitive parts better than the first time. After her shaking stops you decide to give her a small break to let her catch her breath. “Are you okay, jihyo?” I…I’m okay, it’s just that it’s been a..a while since I…I came this much.”

“Ready for the next round?” you ask. “Let me catch my breath first, okay” she says, which makes you crack up a bit.

After some time of rest and regaining some stamina back you both proceed for the next round. “I want to ride you” as she pushes you down on the bed. “Being assertive now, aren’t you.” “I just want this cock of yours, real bad” as she begins to mount you, cowgirl position.

“I need to make sure your cock is hard and ready before i take it all in” as she is jerking you off. Once it is she lifts herself a bit and aligns your cock to her entrance, trying her folds and impales herself in one swoop. “Fuck… your cock is so big, i really missed it inside of me.”

“I missed being inside of you too, you’re so tight.” Hearing that makes jihyo bush and say “I’ve been doing a lot of exercises, I was afraid that you didn’t want to make sex with me anymore because I wasn’t as tight as before, after jisoo’s birth.”

“No, that’s not the case, it’s just that we have been so busy, I’m sorry that ive neglected you.” “It’s okay, it’s my fault too, I haven’t been as assertive as before.” “Im sorry, Jihyo.” “It’s okay, we are together now and that is all that matters.”

She then begins to move slowly while grabbing onto your shoulders. You places your hands on her waist to pull her in closer to your base. After getting adjusted to your length she picks up the pace and starts to ride you much faster.

“Fuck jihyo, you look like a real cowgirl.” “I feel like a cowgirl when im riding this huge cock of yours. You know what y/n, every cowgirl needs her cowboy to well fed, right?” as she smirks. She then moves your hands from her waist and places them on her breast and says “come on, milk these cow tits, i know you want to” she squeezes them, releasing milk from her tits.

“You’re so naughty jihyo, i like it” and you take her on the offer of milking her tits. “I’m going to make sure i squeeze every ounce of milk from your breast” as you being to squeeze them in the palm of your hand.

“Yes, squeeze them hard, mark me, make sure you leave your imprints on my tits. I want everyone to know that these large melons are yours” as she rides you harder.

“Yes! Yes! like that squeeze them, milk me.” You squeeze her and milk begins to run down your hands and down her tits, down her chest onto her belly.

“Fuck, jihyo i think im going to cum” you moan out loud. “Do it. Cum inside of me, don’t you dare cum anywhere else other than my small cunt.” Hear her stay that is making your cock throb. Feeling your throbbing cock inside of her, she knows that you’re at your limit so she lifts herself up, only leaving the tip of your cock in her entrance. She then slams her whole body down, reaching your base which causes you to cum immediately. “Yeah, like that. Fill me full of cum, i wont let a single drop go to waste” as her insides are squeezing your cock, tight.

You then take the opportunity to bring her in close and attach your mouth onto her nipple and begin to suck on her breast as she rides your cock slowly with all the cum inside of her womb.

You both stay like that are a good amount of time until there is no more milk to squeeze out. “Aww, my poor baby was really thirsty. Did mommy milk you out of cum, already?” she says as a tease. You wanting to play along say “yes, your baby was really thirsty and wanted to milk from mommy’s breast.”

“Now, that you had your fill, mommy wants you to pump her with more of your special milk” as she looks at your with sincere eyes. “Don’t you think you can do that to mommy?” You nod your head up and down, without any words. She lifts herself from your cock and you see your cum drip from her cunt and down her thighs.

She lays down on the bed and says “i want my baby boy to use this mommy in anyway he likes.” Taking this to heart you begin your next set of rounds. The next continues and you preform multiple positions such as reverse cowgirl, missionary, golden arch, table top, lazy man, upstanding citizen, and finally doggy style.

During doggy style you can’t help but to grab Jihyo’s amazing butt. “You’ve been having your attention on my butt this whole time, so you like it that much?” she asks. “Yes, it’s so nice and round, I love it.” “I’m glad to hear that, I’ve actually been working on it after i had Jisoo. I know how much you like a nice ass, so I wanted to work on mine.” You then proceed to caress her ass a bit more as your thrusting inside of her pretty cunt.

After delivery if your load during doggy style, Jihyo automatically drops to the bed and says “that was amazing y/n. You having fucked me this long for a while.” “That’s right, I missed when we used to fuck all night, the way I would make you moan my name would be amazing.”

“Stop, don’t say that. You know it’s embarrassing for me to hear that.” “You know it’s true, you would moan my name a lot” as you give a nice slap on Jihyo’s ass cheek.

Catching her breath Jihyo looks at you and says “you know since it’s my birthday and I want us to unwrap a nice little gift together” as she gives you a wink. “You mean…” as your smile grows visibly bigger.

“Yes, I know I’ve been holding out on it and you have always wanted to try it and I wasn’t ready those times, but I think I’m ready know.”

“Are you sure you’re ready for it? I don’t want to do it if you’re not.”

“I am, I know I was scared the first time because it kind of hurt and we never tried it again but I think I’m good now. So how about you run out to the kitchen and get some water while I prepare.”

You nod and rush out of the room and run butt naked to the kitchen and grab some water bottles and orange juice. You try your best not to get anyone to see you as you make the quick trip. You rush into the bedroom and give Jihyo some as well.

After get a good break you both continue your next session. Jihyo sits on the edge of the bed and spreads her legs open and shows you all the cum that you pumped into her. “See how much cum in dripping down my legs” as she smiles. “Yeah, let even know that you mine, only mine and no one else’s”

She stands up and says “what do you think about the lingerie I’m wearing?” It’s beautiful, you look amazing in anything you wear. You’re a goddess.” Hearing this turns Jihyo on and she pushes you onto the bed. She gives you a sexual dance, grinds her pussy against your thighs, feeling the wetness of her folds. “You feel how wet I am for you? “Yeah, I do” as you begin to feel her body.

She grabs your cock and begs in to jerk it off, making it hard once more and says “your cock is really excited, it can’t wait to penetrate me. Are you excited to take my anal virginity?” “Fuck, I am… I really am” you says.

She gets off your thigh and stands up and begins to show you every inch of her body. “All of this is yours, only yours” as she bends over, spreading her ass cheeks and shaking her her pink puckerhole. “This is finally yours, it’s never been touched before. You get to take my virginity for the second time.”

Seeing Jihyo bent over with her ass cheeks spread wide open is making you extra hard and hot. You’re really to fuck her, there and now. But you also need to be extra careful since it’s her first time and want to make sure she has a good experience.

You grab Jihyo’s waist with your left and and release her right hand from her ass cheek, with your right hand you raise it up and giver her a nice smack on her ass. This catches her off guard and makes her give out a small moan. You caress there ass a bit just before you give it another smack.

“Get to the bed” you command her. She does as she’s told and you then push her down, making her have her face on the bed in a corner doggy style position. You caress her ass in awe and give her a few smacks, causing her cheeks to jiggle. “Fuck, your ass is perfect.”

Your cock being rock hard, you hold it with your right hand and smack it against Jihyo’s ass. Your cock causes ripples as it hits her cheeks.

You know that if you insert it as it is now, it will be painful for jihyo so instead you use the cum that is dripping down jihyo’s leg as lube. With your finger on your left hand you collect as much cum and trace it against her puckerhole.

You align your cock to her entrance and give her one last chance to back out. “Are you sure you want to do this jihyo?” you ask. “Yes, i want to, make me yours again.” There is no need for anything else as you want to enjoy this special moment.

Having your cock hovering over her entrance you let her know that you’re about to penetrate her and she takes a deep breath. You begin to slowly push through and you are met with resistance. You gather a bit more cum mixed with nectar and place it on top of her puckerhole and massage it a bit. “Try to relax, im going to try going in again” you inform her. She nods and says yes, making you continue.

You grab your cock a bit better and push it in slowly and into her ass. You see the tip begin to work its way into her ass slowly and keep on push as jihyo begins to whine. “Hmmm…” as she tries not to show any signs of pain.

You keep on inserting your length deeper and once the tip is in you let her relax it a bit and ask “you are okay, jihyo? It take a while for her to respond back but eventually she says “it hurts, it hurts a lot” as she turns to face you, having a tear dripping down. “Want me to take it out? We can maybe try next time.”

“No! I can do it. Just let me rest a bit” she says. “Okay, just let me know when you’re ready.

After what feels like a while she says “I thinking im ready, let’s continue.” You spread a bit more of her nectar around your cock to ease the penetration and continue.

You then begin to push in your cock further up her ass and noticed that jihyo is holding onto the bedsheets with a strong grip. Wanting for her not to suffer any longer you decide to just get it over it in one go. “I’m sorry Jihyo but im going to get it over it with one thrust” she turns around with panic in her eyes. Knowing that it’s going to hurt she grabs onto the bedsheet with her teeth and clenches onto it.

“Fuck… her i go jihyo, im sorry. It’s only going to hurt for a short while” and with that you pull out, only leaving the tip of your cock and with one hard thrust you reach all the way inside. The resistance of her insides is unimaginable, she had the tightest it ass you have fucked so far, but unfortunately you have made jihyo shout from the pain.

She tried her best to hold onto to the bedsheet with her teeth but the pain of her ass splitting open from your large and thick cock was unbearable. Tears flow down from her face as she tries to not cry but shouts “ *hick… it hurts so much… it hurts… you tore my rectum… *hick… you broke me…”

“I’m sorry jihyo, I tired to get it over with… you just need to let it calm down for a bit and the pain will go away.” Trying to listen to your words she tries to calm down and says “I know… you tried your best to be gentle with me but *hick… it just hurts.”

“You want me to pull out? I can if you want.” She automatically says “No! Don’t you dare pull out and make me go through this pain for nothing. I can take it. Let me just get adjusted to your length.”

You know that Jihyo is a real trooper and you know that she doesn’t give up easily and give her time to adjust.

Once she is really she says “i think im okay, let’s continue.” Grab her waist to bring her in closer and begin to move. He recede your cock, half way and thrust it back in “fuck it hurts…” she says. “Want me to stop?” “No just keep on going, i can take it.”

“Okay, here i go” as you thrust your cock in and out of her. You scrape the walls and increase the pace little by little. Her shouting of pain goes from being unbearable and decrease, then turns into something tolerable to something pleasurable.

The more you thrust in and out of her ass the more she begins to enjoy it. From screaming “it hurts” turned into “y/n fuck me harder.” “You really changed your attitude after a couple of thrusts, huh” trying to tease her. “Ohh shut up, you’re making me embarrassed. Just focus on fucking my ass instead.”

You pick up the pace and decide to do a different position. But before you move you raise her right hand once more and give her a hard slap. “Ahhh… that hurts… hit me again” she shouts. You raise your hand once more and give her another smack. “Again, harder” as you repeat this multiple times on both cheeks.

Once you are done her ass cheeks are completely red and both your hands are imprinted on them. You grab Jihyo from the waist and bring her up.

“Let’s change the pace a bit” and move her into the standing doggy position. You support her by holding onto her arms to keep her from falling back onto the bed.

Every thrust is hard and reaches deep inside of her. The amount of moaning that results from this is amazing. She went from just taking it in the ass to clenching your cock with her ass.

“Fuck jihyo, your ass feels nice and tight, you’re going to make me cum.”

“Yes, cum inside of my former virgin ass, flood my ass with your cum” she moans. “This ass, this tight pussy, these tits, everything is yours. You can cum inside of me whenever you want. Don’t hold back, fill me to the brim.”

“I’m going to cum, let it all inside” as a tsunami of cum comes rushing into her ass, filling it all.

“Fu…fuck… so warm. That feels nice” as her eyes begin to roll back from the pleasure and begins to lose her balance. You having spent your energy from fucking so long fall onto the bed with Jihyo.

You slowly regain your balance after getting dizzy for a moment and pull out. You feel your cock struggling to get out as Jihyo is unconsciously trying to hold onto your cock with her walls. You give a bit more strength and your cock is released from jihyo’s grasps as you hear a popping noise from the suction of having your cock inside of her.

You then see a gaping asshole as jihyo’s ass is trying to clench onto something but there is nothing else to grab onto. “Aww my poor jihyo passed out from having her first anal experience.”

You watch her as she is laying there on the bed and as her asshole is spilling out cum, from being overflowed with your cum.

You walk towards the chair where you pants was and pull out your phone and take a picture. A picture of her first anal experience and the amount of cum that is escaping.

You then try to move her a better spot of the bed so she can finally get some rest, after this long but hard session.

You lay down next to hear and kiss her back but not before hearing a semi conscious Jihyo say “i want you to hold me tight and i want to sleep your your cock inside of me like the old days.”

There is not need for words as you bring her in closer on cuddle her, but not before you shove your cock back inside of her tight pussy and finally get some sleep.

————

Little did you know that your dumb butt forgot to close the door as you made your way back to the room.

The door was slightly open and allowed the opportunity for someone to catch a glimpse if they wanted to. And that is exactly what happened.

As momo woke up from her sleep she made her way to the kitchen but heard noises coming from the room that you and jihyo were using. Curious she walks towards the room and sees what was going on and stays to watch the action.

Tzuyu also comes out from the bathroom and sees momo standing in front of the room and walks up to momo and says “what are you doing momo unnie?

“Shhh… just look” as she tries to whisper and not get caught. They both peek and watch as you are fucking jihyo from behind and destroying her ass. The moans of pleasure that is coming from Jihyo is something that they haven’t seen before and it’s addictive.

“I feel hot momo unnie” whispers Tzuyu as she unknowingly is getting horny. ‘I’m kind of hot too” as momo has her hands inside of her shorts, touching herself. “Momo unnie, you’re leaking something down your shorts” as momo is leaking nectar form all this excitement. “You too, look” as momo points out to Tzuyu as she is also leaking nectar from her shorts.”

“Momo unnie, i think im horny” as she starts to place her hand inside of her shorts and begins to finger herself. Momo initially surprised but can’t blame Tzuyu because she feels the same way.

They both finger fuck themseleves as they watch you and Jihyo have the best time of your lives, together.

[mingis-conspiracy-theories]

dating poly!woosang

part 4/7 of the poly!atz series (it’s been extended!); nsfw at the end :3 | taglist: @nari-nim​

a peaceful time?? with woosang???

unfortunately, the number you have dialed is no longer in service

you knowingly got into a relationship with two people who can’t shut up about their 8 YEAR FRIENDSHIP

so this is technically your fault

or so wooyoung claims....

Kang Yeosang

a little bridge troll

will openly gag when someone says that he and wooyoung make a cute couple but then will stew and marinate in his self-doubt when it hits 1pm and wooyoung still hasn’t given him his stupid good morning kiss yet

tends to stick to your side like glue and as long as he’s holding on to SOME part of your body, his head will turn this way and that all day to look for your third

but also will deny it to DEATH if you call him out on it

he doesn’t like when you bring up his and wooyoung’s 8 year friendship because he doesn’t want you to feel left out

but also uses it as an excuse to get away with SO MUCH shit

whenever he wants to pull a prank on wooyoung and needs to convince you to turn a blind eye on the fact that he’s buying 25 rolls of gift wrapping paper, he’ll distract you by taking you through the long-suffering story of their precious EiGhT yEaR FrIeNdShIp all over again

the dollarama cashier: 👁👄👁

you find out at the same time as wooyoung 2 weeks later that yeosang had used those 25 rolls of gift wrap to wrap EVERYTHING in wooyoung’s room, including his BED

will run to you snickering gleefully as soon as wooyoung starts screaming

cue the prank war that shaves 5 years off your lifespan every time you find out one of them decided to get revenge

you’re literally dating tom and jerry

you complained about it once but then they both started fighting over which one of them was jerry

doesn’t hold grudges

but also doesn’t hold back on being savage

views you as wooyoung’s greatest weakness so he will NOT hesitate to use you as collateral damage in The Prank War™

needs some serious convincing for him to realize that wooyoung’s greatest weakness is also equal parts HE HIMSELF

once he realizes, starts using himself as prank war collateral

and that’s when you realize yeosang has ZERO sense of self-preservation

gen z existential dread jokes

uses dark humour casually

a driving wooyoung, screaming, almost runs someone over

yeosang in the passenger seat, deadpan: “that’s fifty points for gryffindor!”

but despite his trolling, is actually really sweet when it counts

will take you to a quiet park for a picnic date where he will proceed to nap on you until your leg circulation cuts off

will drag you and wooyoung to his favourite chicken restaurant so he can have all three of his favourite things at once

will make going for ice cream at the nearby convenience store late at night ✨a date✨

HOWEVER, when he’s not hanging out with just the two of you or if you’re hanging out in a group that he’s unfamiliar with, he turns SHY!!

ERROR 404: savage yeosang not found

the MILLISECOND shy introvert yeosang needs protecting, The Prank War™ gets put on hold

ENTER WOOYOUNG: fierce protector of all things yeosang

these two are at that level of unspoken trust where yeosang will trust wooyoung to speak FOR him

and that’s a level of trust that is NOT easily attainable

if some rando tries to talk to yeosang during a party, they basically  just end up talking to wooyoung no cap

despite yeosang’s usual independence, will 100% need his hand held during a party

if you let go, he WILL die

uses wooyoung as his extrovert shield

uses you as his social battery charging dock

strangers usually make the assumption that you’re either dating yeosang or dating wooyoung, but connecting the dots between wooyoung and yeosang??? it’s less likely than u think

at the same time, those two have been caught making out in the bathroom more times than you have fingers

literally never says “i love you” or any version of it except when someone questions your relationship

he just trusts that you know, and you do know, right? 🥺

it’s SO RARE hearing it from him that even you two are surprised when you do

-cue some random insulting wooyoung at a party-

yeosang: “hey! that’s my boyfriend”

stranger: “huh?”

wooyoung: “HUH??” *heart eyes*

100% tsundere

he cares about both of you a LOT, but constantly struggles to show it

also struggles to use the big L word (love)

however, his love language is ABSOLUTELY quality time

so even though he doesn’t say it often or hold your hand a lot or drape himself all over you all the time the way wooyoung does, he ALWAYS makes sure he’s close to you

will hold the door open for you and the 8 other people behind you before he gets sick of it and just slams the door shut on the 9th person

then he’ll run in tiny so he can catch up to you

feels almost homesick when neither you or wooyoung are around

wooyoung is literally his oldest friend, his anchor, his soulmate, even if he has a hard time expressing it

and you, you’re his best friend, and the one that makes his heart catch fire

how can he live without you two??

never wants to be an inconvenience so he sometimes holds back, especially when he’s feeling insecure and insignificant and he’ll bottle that shit up until he breaks down in the bathroom

especially with wooyoung, yeosang tends to get disheartened over how easily he’s able to open up around other people and how much time he spends with his other friends

but he’s also the type that will NEVER voice it. he’d rather die thanks

so you’re often the in-between for the both of them - the peanut butter and jelly between two pieces of toast 

when you finally shove nudge wooyoung in the right direction, the both of them become INSEPARABLE for the next few days, yeosang becoming so SMOTHERED in love he can barely stand it by day 4

you know it’s reached that point when yeosang shows up at your bedside when it’s time to sleep and asks if you can hide him

cue wooyoung DIVE BOMBING into your bed and right on top of yeosang at 4am in the morning, shrieking and wiggling around and ignoring both your moans of complaint until you’re both suffocating under his armpits

and then much to your fond exasperation, it’s back to The Prank War™

can sometimes be oblivious as hell

but the SECOND he figures out that either of you (or both) want to do something more than kisses with him, he gets red and FLUSTERED AS HELL and doesn’t know what to do with himself

and THAT exact moment is the moment evil horny wooyoung lives for

yeosang is a double-edged sword - savage with his tongue but somehow still so soft and innocent

and his soft and innocent side is the side only you two get to see

all his life, he’s found it really difficult to open up and let people in

so it’s really special that the two of you are among the few who’ve been allowed to bear witness to the deepest parts of himself ❤️

but then you slowly start to realize that the longer the three of you are in a relationship, the more and more corrupt yeosang is becoming...

the realization hits you like a wall of bricks when one day, yeosang starts giving you wooyoung-style bedroom eyes

and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the first time wooyoung ever got a tv remote control to the face before he could even walk through the front door

Jung Wooyoung

chaotic evil

despite claiming to be jerry, he is 1000% tom (sorry wooyoung)

his only purpose in life is to bother the fuck out of you and yeosang

or so yeosang claims...

but one time, wooyoung went back to visit his parents for a weekend and the two of you were L O S T

there was:

no one attempting to suffocate you in the morning through the sheer force of their thigh muscles

no one ripping open the shower curtain while you’re in there and ignoring your screaming just to tell you you’re out of cool ranch doritos

no one staring at you seductively from the couch in a “paint me like one of your french girls” pose as soon as you open the front door

it was a weird fucking time

but also:

no one to cook you all of your favourite dishes when you’re feeling down in the dumps

no one to chase the ice cream truck with you around the entire neighbourhood just for you to realize you both forgot your wallets

and then no one to slut drop into a sexy dance for the ice cream truck man for a popsicle worth $2

no yeosang screaming for you from the bedroom for help while a cackling wooyoung presses him down with his full weight and tries to give him a hickey

wooyoung enters your life so unapologetically, like a tornado through a room, that whenever he’s not with you, the silence is deafening

SURPRISE KISSES, EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME

but instead of smacking a kiss onto your cheek, he likes to do it right over your ear because it’s THAT much more annoying

already lost in The Prank War™ 14 weeks ago but no one has the heart to tell him

has so much freaking energy that you and yeosang can’t keep up sometimes

the type to wake up at 8am to skip to the gym, drink at least 3 iced americanos throughout his day, and then stay up playing video games until 2am

does this guy even need sleep??? nobody knows

unlike yeosang, has NO QUALMS with bragging about his and yeosang’s 8 year friendship to you - but unlike yeosang who only does it to get out of trouble with you, wooyoung will do it for ANYTHING

and if you start feeling left out and insecure??? ma’am, they both love you enough that they didn’t even need 8 years of your friendship first before they were willing to commit to you

and wooyoung will show it to you again and again and again

unlike yeosang who will snuggle quietly with you in bed with the lights off and ask you what’s bothering you, wooyoung will literally BITCH SLAP your insecurities right in the goddamn face

INSECURITY?? IN THIS HOUSEHOLD??? not on WOOYOUNG’S WATCH

kind of oblivious about these kinds of things, but the moment he realizes, he’s ON IT

is so aggressive about loving you afterwards that you seriously wonder why you ever doubted yourself in the first place

will wake up in the middle of the night to drag you from your bed so you can both bother yeosang in his

alone time??? he literally doesn’t know what that is. sounds fake. never heard of it. doesn’t exist

lives like he has 76 hours in one day

takes his job as yeosang’s extrovert shield VERY seriously

it actually makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that his presence makes you and yeosang feel protected and secure

is also what makes his chest puff out with pride

LOVES to feel that he’s needed

is an ✨attention whore✨

literally balances out yeosang’s lack of physical and verbal affection by being OVERLY physically and verbally affectionate

says “i love you” to both you and yeosang a minimum of 10 times per day

and if he isn’t there to say it, he’ll text it, voice message it, send it to you in morse code, or scream it from the other room - whatever he has to do to make sure you hear it

and then after sending it, he’ll call you over and over again until you pick up and then ask “did you get it??? did you get my message???? did you get it?? I LOVE you”

like yes wooyoung, the entire neighbourhood heard it too thanks for asking

really into cheesy kdrama moments and will embarrass the fuck out of yeosang trying to drag him into acting it out

but will also approach it subtly like he wasn’t the one who wanted to do it in the first place

wooyoung, leaning in: “hey yeosang, you have a little something on your mouth”

yeosang: -grabs a napkin to wipe it off himself-

wooyoung: “NO!”

unlike yeosang, LIVES for each annoying nickname that he receives from you two

you once jokingly called him your sweet pink pumpkin bubblegum princess and he PREENED

how wooyoung sleeps at night knowing he was annoying as fuck all day: (◡‿◡✿)

do you two love him for it??? unfortunately yes, and he KNOWS it

sometimes has a hard time understanding that not everyone’s love language is physical affection, which is so different from yeosang who tends to shy away from touch

it puzzles the hell out of him

but if there’s one thing that’s really great about wooyoung, it’s that he’ll always try his hardest for the people he loves

yeosang isn’t feeling for physical affection today? that’s okay. he’ll write ‘i love you’ in ketchup on yeosang’s omurice instead

yeosang doesn’t want to be hugged to sleep tonight? then he’ll give up his favourite hoodie for yeo to sleep in!

you just can’t help but UWU at the sight of your two boys

and they’re all yours ❤️

except when wooyoung calls you for a ride home at 3:14am in the morning because he lost track of time being an idiot with san and missed the last train home

in which case, you no longer claim him

jung wooyoung??? never heard of him. sounds like a fake name. doesn’t exist.

but then a particularly soft yeosang shows up at your door with his dangerous SWEATER PAWS and his phone in his hand telling you that woo called him asking for a ride

and goddammit, if there’s one thing you can’t refuse it’s yeosang

and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to the first time wooyoung has ever gotten picked up at 3:45am by 2 people on a BICYCLE

“WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO SIT????”

yeosang, 100% deadpan: “on my lap”

❗ NSFW ❗

i feel like with woosang in particular, they don’t fall into any specific roles

they just do what feels good - just two horny boys desperately chasing their high

having said that though, if there’s ONE thing that can get wooyoung hard instantly, it’s seeing innocent yeosang horny and flustered

and when yeosang feels like he doesn’t know what to do with himself, he tends to crawl over to you to hide his face because he knows you won’t tease him like wooyoung does

but boy does wooyoung LIVE for that shit

he’ll crawl over to you both with the widest smirk on his face, taking his time to watch the way yeosang trembles in your hold before he starts slowly running his hands all up and down yeo’s milky skin

sometimes, wooyoung’s forwardness can be too much for him, but when you’re there too, yeosang feels like he can take on so much more

you’re his safe space 🥺 though he’ll never tell you

and by god if yeosang isn’t sensitive as all hell

anywhere you touch him has him shaking

has such a hard time suppressing his noises

and pulling his hands away from his face and telling him that you want to hear him just gets him even more embarrassed

SO easy for you and woo to gang up on poor yeosang

i feel like with these two, you can take on ANY role you prefer and it would match up PERFECTLY with these two

they just fall in line for you so easily

if you’re more dominant in bed, wooyoung will eagerly ask you how and where you want them; there’s nothing that gets him off faster than knowing you��re pleased with him

and if you’re more submissive in bed, wooyoung will automatically take the reigns without a word, falling into a more assertive headspace

wooyoung is just such a huge switch that he can blend seamlessly into any dynamic

yeosang strikes me also as a switch but leaning more towards submissive

he KNOWS what he wants, he’s just too shy to ask for it

with yeosang, there’s a VERY THIN LINE between him being too embarrassed to do anything and him saying fuck it to all his inhibitions and either just BEGGING for release or snapping and taking control of it himself

but in order to get there, you need to push him there

however, despite it all, seeing dominant yeosang is still a little rarer

as said earlier, wooyoung has the habit of shielding yeosang when things get to be too much for him

the SAME shit applies to the bedroom

after 8 years, wooyoung’s protective instincts over yeosang are so ingrained in him, he doesn’t know how to turn it off anymore

and though woo might be thick-skulled sometimes, NO ONE is as attuned to yeosang’s bedroom needs than he is

and he does it so subtly that you barely notice

yeosang’s becoming overwhelmed? bratty wooyoung will get all up in your face and goad you into spanking him

embarrassed yeosang doesn’t know how to respond to dirty talk? wooyoung will demand your attention by talking back

you can’t do anything to yeosang without doing it to wooyoung too, and some part of you has long accepted that these two are a package deal

you either get both or you get none at all

and in a way, seeing wooyoung so comfortable in his own skin has slowly taught yeosang how to be more comfortable in his own too

and as if confident yeosang isn’t the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen

wooyoung will come either WITH yeosang or AFTER him, but never before

and when you’re all done and spent will be when yeosang needs his time alone

and this is the part where you’ll need to stop woo from chasing after him

it happens EVERY TIME and you’ve learned to just smother him with all the hugs and kisses and cuddles that he wants while yeosang watches you two shyly from the other end of the bed

and of course, whenever yeosang’s ready, he’ll rejoin the two of you - sometimes it’s within the hour, sometimes it’s not until the sun starts to rise

but no matter what, you three are always, without fail, tangled up in the morning

For the ask game: top five changes you'd make to DBH, if given the chance.

Turns out doing my top 5 overall changes was kinda impossible, so I cheated a bit and instead came up with 5 changes I'd make that I don't think I've talked about much before (or expanded versions of things I do know I've talked about) and then ranked those against each other.

#5: Either combine Gavin and Captain Allen together, or alter their character designs so they're more visually distinct

Currently, there are two things that visually distinguish these characters from each other: face shape/structure and clothing. Combined with the fact that these two characters never appear in a scene together, and take actions that make complete sense combined with the other's actions and personality, these two become very difficult to tell apart when you have some level of face blindness like I do.

Yes, this is a confession that I didn't realize these were separate characters when I first got into DBH. This is also a confession that I thought the scar on Gavin's face was just another piece of fanon for about a year, until I sat down and stared at his character model a bunch and realized that, yes, he did have a very faded scar across his face. The scar would absolutely work to distinguish them if it were made more visible (meaning that it would have to be from a more recent event).

#4: Make Luther a part of the hug at the border when all of Kara's family survives

This is just kinda awkward the way it is now in canon, with him standing there watching while Kara and Alice hug. Plus, they've already got a hug animation for all three of them for the ending where they all make it out of the camp alive, so... what's the problem with reusing it here?

#3: Let the player know from the start that Amanda and the Zen Garden are programs in Connor's head

Right now, this plot twist feels like it's there for the sake of having a plot twist in Connor's story rather than the plot twist actually doing something. I think there would still be sufficiently high tension during Connor and Amanda's conversation in Last Chance Connor without this plot twist being present -- topics such as Connor's similarity to deviants, Amanda being based off of Elijah's mentor, and Elijah's various non-answers in Meet Kamski would still be on the table, and dialogue options about the stone and the previous Connors' graves in the Zen Garden (should you have looked at them previously) could potentially be added in to round things out (with Amanda giving some very deflective non-answers in response). I think this would create a stronger focus on Connor being manipulated and Connor's relationship to deviancy during this conversation, because right now the options present feel... kind of random and like they only connect to Meet Kamski rather than to Connor's story at large -- and considering that this is the chapter where Hank makes one last appeal to Connor's deviancy by bring up his previous actions and it's the one where Connor attempts to find Jericho's location by using all the evidence he's gathered in his previous investigations, I would really like this conversation to also tie a bunch of things together in Connor's story.

#2: Let Connor find out about Cole little by little throughout his chapters with Hank

I know I've talked about this before, but to rehash that: currently, Connor finds out about Cole in Russian Roulette through a photo in Hank's house, which brings up Cole's name, as well as his dates of birth and death, in Connor's system. Then, should Connor and Hank meet in Battle for Detroit, Connor also knows how Cole died and that red ice and an android were involved... with no explanation as to how he got this information. This could be done by having Fowler mention something in Waiting for Hank or Last Chance Connor, having Hank avoid certain places (such as the hospital or the site of the accident) when him and Connor drive to someplace, and giving Connor the chance to cross-reference these pieces of information with police and medical records in his head during some of his investigations instead of dealing with whatever the actual investigation is. This mechanic would be required for Connor to unlock the option about Cole in Battle for Detroit, and would give Connor software instability while also running down the timer on the current investigation (remember here that the preconstruct/reconstruct abilities involve slowed time passage, not no time passage, so I have no reason to believe that this mechanic would work any differently). This would make Connor's investigations more difficult by forcing the player to balance out finding evidence about what happened to Cole and finding evidence for Jericho's location, both of which would be required to get the Survivors trophy when going down Connor's deviant path. This would also make it more likely that players would run out of time on investigations, which is currently one of the rarer outcomes for these chapters.

#1: Get rid of the Demonstration Kiss with North

In the demonstration, all the remaining members of Jericho are being held at gunpoint by human members of the US military, and will die unless you do something to convince the president (also a human) not to kill you. Kissing is one of the options you have if Markus and North became lovers in Freedom March and North is still alive at the end of the demonstration.

North deviated because she couldn't take being used by humans in a nonconsenually romantic/sexual manner anymore in a context where we know from the events of The Eden Club that a human absolutely could injure or kill an android.

This means that the demonstration kiss is basically just North's backstory, but worse... yet the aftermath is somehow still just as happy and celebratory and good as the aftermath of the sing option.

I don't really think there's anything that can be done about this except to just not have this option... with North. In a version of the game where Josh or Simon were romance options, I would be fine with Markus doing the demonstration kiss with one of them, because then no one would have a trauma that's getting completely recreated in a somehow worse way that's then brushed off like it's nothing.

HOSHIUMI KŌRAI 

hoshiumi’s general personality; there isn’t enough of this cutie honestly :( but honestly, the more i read of his personality and see of him in manga panels, the more i love him. i hope i can put this in words: hoshiumi is scarily skilled, in the sense that when you watch him, you’re not intimidated by him, but rather, in awe. you can visibly see all the effort he’d put into honing his skills whenever you watch him play. especially because he’s so quiet and concentrated during games, making him a completely different person on court. as a person, i see him as being extremely reliable and having a really strong, but quiet presence. so that when you’re around him, he doesn’t have to speak to let himself be known, you know? also! i remember him being really offended when an interviewer commented about how good of a player he is despite his height, and i honestly understand it. no matter what he does, he’s constantly being reduced to just his height, and how that influences everything, but there’s so much more to him than that. of course, his reasoning behind joining volleyball and becoming one of the best in japan is a little silly, but he is driven in general, and very determined. but i also don’t think he’s smug or overly confident or arrogant about his skills, even if he should because of the ladder he’d had to climb to get to where he is. he’s confident, of course, but he’s not annoyingly so. he won’t rub it in anyone’s face, because he has peace with it, in a way? like he himself is aware of it, so there’s no need to get that constant validation from others. like i said, him on court and him off court are two different people: so yes, he does love being showered in appreciation and attention, but for him, not for his volleyball self. he knows he’s good at volleyball, but appreciate him for more than that, for more than being so good despite being short; appreciate him for being caring, for being diligent and hard-working, for being a constant, reassuring and uplifting presence in everyone’s life. as i mention in the motivation section, i think hoshiumi is a very curious individual, in the sense that he’s always looking for adventure, always looking for something to catch his eye, snatch away his attention, to leave him in awe, to leave him breathless and exhilarated. i don’t think he’s an adrenaline junkie, after having said that, but i do think he’s in love with spontaneity. 

motivation; i think hoshiumi’s motivation is very simple, and it’s to better himself. to not have his inspiration and drive rely solely on to be a better version of his brother, to be better than his brother in general, but rather improve so that he can hone his own skills, so he can wow everyone around him, to be given the title of best spiker without a single comment on his height, to the best, regardless. to be the best just because he is the best. towards you, it would probably be his curiosity. like i mentioned above, i see him as really curious, so he watches you from afar, observes you, wondering how much more there is to you, wanting to learn more about you. he wants to learn of your interests and hobbies, whether they align with his or not, whether he can give you all you want or not. 

hoshiumi’s love language; physical touch and acts of service. despite what i initially thought, i don’t think he’d be too into pda. he won’t mind kissing you in front of others, of course, because there is a little part of him that’s incredibly smug about being your partner. but then again, he prefers things like holding onto your hand, or linking your pinkies together, or piggy back rides. he loves to constantly be helping you somehow, and also consecutively feed into his ego a lil, so he’ll constantly be carrying your things for you, helping you cook by cutting up vegetables, or handing you ingredients, or helping you renovate your room at three in the morning. he really likes the little things that build up to shape domesticity between the two of you, but loudly, you know? as in the love he has for you is well-known: he’ll proudly wear your scrunchie on his wrist, or let you do a little make up on him and walk around with it. he’d tattoo your name on his forehead if he could. 

hoshiumi’s preferred dates; the beach, hiking, theme parks, staying in and playing physically active games like twister, fast food drive throughs 

kissing hoshiumi; really playful, and a little giggly too. it’s not silly kissing, it’s serene, but it leaves you feeling all bubbly in the way he wraps his arms around your neck and pushes you to him like you’re the only one that matters in this world 

what being with hoshiumi feels like; baking with someone and making a mess with the ingredients, but you can’t stop laughing 

KUROO TETSURŌ

kuroo’s general personality; oh boy here we go. okay so we all know provocative, smug, cheeky kuroo, yeah? and i firmly believe that yes, that really a part of his personality. there is a part of him that really is like that. a person’s personality is never black and white, and that’s exactly the case with kuroo: there’s a lot to him. it’s not just that at first glance he seems intimidating and scarily attractive, he is. but i think there’s a reason for that, and in a way, it’s a coping mechanism. kuroo is, deep down, a huge dork, and a really big nerd. but like i said, there’s nothing wrong with being both that and a little bit of an asshole sometimes. it’s just that i think there’s a reason that other part of his personality developed, and it’s a way to protect himself, you know? i’m pretty sure it’s canon that kuroo’s parents didn’t entirely get along, and it’s really easy to feel alone in situations like that, so that really suave and attractive and charming part of him developed so that he can attract people to him, so that he can have this pulling effect on others. it makes you want to spend time with him, lose yourself to the hours with him. that doesn’t mean kuroo tries to hold back his nerdy side, or that he’s ashamed of his funnier, dorkier side. if anything, i think he’s pretty confident in both sides of him. because just as that ‘cool’ side of him is dazzling, the louder, cheekier side of him is pretty charming too. on a completely separate note, i think kuroo cares, oh he cares so much. his heart is too big, if i’m being honest. he wants his friends to succeed, wants to see them be their best, is always pushing them to be better. he means it, he really does. he won’t say it out loud, but if you need him, he’s staying up extra hours for you, getting you your favorite snacks, being extra touchy on a day he notices you’re upset. he’s very aware of everyone’s emotions around him, and that might be because of his parents too, in which he’s become really hyper aware of any telltale signs, you know? all that being said, pair him with bokuto and he’s a crackhead

motivation; i honestly think kuroo always puts people above himself. i can’t explain why, but i just know that he does. make sure my friends are okay, then i’ll check on myself. push my friends to do better, and then work on motivating myself. watch my friends succeed before i look at how far i’ve come. being so proud of his friends, before he realizes how proud he is of himself too. so, in turn, his motivation would be the people around him. he thrives on communication and socializing and having strong, close connections and relationships with people. that is his main motivation. in regards to you, it’s a little different. i mentioned in one of my headcanons for him that he’s really suave and cool around everyone except his crush, and i stand by that, honestly. the only way to rid himself of that nervousness and endless amount of butterflies in his stomach would be to confess to you, removing that weight off of him. also you’re like, really pretty lol

kuroo’s love language; very touchy, very, very touchy, so it’s definitely physical affection and physical touch, with possibly acts of service. acts of service in that he notices when you stay up late to help him practice, or his own willingness to stay with you as you power through an all-nighter, or just silently knowing right away what either of you need without having to speak. he loves, loves, loves pda. he will make out with you in public, he doesn’t care, nothing can stop him. likes to have his arm around you constantly, or does that stupid thing where he puts his hand in your back pocket, or approaching you from behind and and hugging you and kissing all over your neck even if you’re in the middle of a conversation with someone

kuroo’s preferred dates; literally anything they’re all fun with him. fancy dinners or diner visits, movie dates at the cinema or at home, arcade visits, walks at the park, the beach

kissing kuroo; oh it’s breathtaking. it’s always really passionate, and always has you gripping at his shirt at the way he forces your heart into your throat, or the way he has your stomach flipping at the small gasps he lets out when he kisses you open mouthed, which happens more often than not

what being with kuroo feels like; like hugging someone you haven’t seen in years, where your arms are thrown around them tightly and they hold you to them and your heart is about to burst from your chest 

KAGEYAMA TOBIO 

kageyama’s general personality; the most misunderstood character :( he is not just an angry boy >:( he is just really, really passionate, especially about volleyball, and he wants other people to try and share that passion with him. he’s just really bad at expressing his feelings, and communicating with other people. like all it is is that kageyama loves volleyball, and he takes it very seriously, and when other people don’t, he takes slight offense to that, because in his eyes it just seems after they’re discarding or mocking the sport. that annoyance translates wrong into anger, but the place it originates from really is just pure. have you seen how happy volleyball makes him? he’s not a bad person, not by a long shot. and his character development too! it wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to communicate, it was that people weren’t willing to try with him. they took him for what he seemed like, not what he truly is. when he joined karasuno, they allowed him space to properly express himself, and they introduced him to what became a family to him. he learned to trust, learned to communicate. he’s not a bad person!! he’s just!!! a kid!!! he learns, slowly but surely, and he changes, for the better. okay but, completely different thing to mention. kageyama’s good at volleyball. no, he’s good. and he knows he is. he’s not really smug about it, but it’s not like his confidence is misplaced. he’s just aware of his skills, but he’s also aware of his flaws, and as he grows as a person, he’s more willing to take a step back and look and observe himself, to better himself as a player. i also think kags is insanely determined. like that episode where he studied his ass off just so he could pass and barely made it to the tokyo training camp? how does that directly translate into determination? he really is willing to put his all and more to improve, to play, to the best. 

motivation; like i mentioned above, it’s definitely to become improve himself. it’s not that he’s never satisfied with how he is or his skills, it’s more that he’s sure there’s still more space for him to better himself, that this isn’t all that he’s capable of and that he can do better, that he can be better. like i said, it’s not that he puts himself down about not being enough, on the contrary; he believes that he’s one of the best, but that’s not his limit, there’s more to him, there’s more for him to explore. towards you is a little bit trickier, honestly. he honestly wouldn’t even know he has a crush on you until one of his upperclassmen noticed his reactions towards you, and they confront him about him to which he responds ‘oh, so that’s what that is?’ like he really is so clueless. i don’t think he’d have a full on motivation with you, he just wants to be around you, because he finds that he kind of does enjoy the feeling he experiences when he’s around you. it’s really as simple as that 

kageyama’s love language; acts of service, absolutely, and, privately, physical touch. it’s not that he won’t hold your hand if you slip it in his, or he won’t return your kiss if you do kiss him in public, but it’s more of you’re the one that usually initiates these things. but! that does not mean kageyama isn’t touchy. he really is, a hundred and ten percent, touch starved. look at him! please! he is craving your touch almost always, he just doesn’t like initiating it in public, and occasionally he’ll take the initiative at home. but please, hug him, hold him, cuddle him, grasp his hand for hours, kiss all over his face. he absolutely adores it. and he shows his love better, takes initiative of it more, when it comes to giving. one of my headcanons for him i mentioned that whenever he gets milk from the vending machine, he gets you your favorite snack too, just because in his head he’s like ‘oh, they’d like that.’ it’s things like that with kags. 

kageyama’s preferred dates; don’t do anything involving competitiveness he will go crazy. but things like carnival dates, or diner visits, or ice skating, or stargazing 

kissing kageyama; really soft and sweet. it’s very timid and careful and cautious, but he always kisses you fully on the lips, his eyes fluttering shit, his hand coming to rest at the base of your throat, slightly on your chest

what being with kageyama feels like; falling asleep on the beach, sunburnt, with sand and salt on your skin, your body warm but the breeze cool 

DAISHŌ SUGURU

daishō’s general personality; i feel like all the haikyuu boys have so much more to them than what seems as a front. like our introduction to suguru was him being this snake-like, manipulative character. i mean nearly all his and his teammates tactics against nekoma were related to manipulation. but why is he inclined to that trait? i don’t know much about canon him, but i like to think that he was kind of in the shadow when he was younger, and the only way he could’ve gotten people to listen or pay attention to him was being this unlikeable and intimidating character. but canon-wise, i think just as his manipulativeness is his strength, it’s also his weakness, and i also think he’s really aware of that, and he knows this tactic has its faults. i also don’t think he’s insanely determined, because yeah he was upset after the match with nekoma, but it wasn’t earth-shattering. from what i’ve seen with his interactions with mika, though, i think he’s very loving, deep down, and very subtly. he doesn’t show it outwardly, but you can see the way he looks at her, the way he gets so proud whenever she remembers something about volleyball. i don’t think he’s a bad person, per se, because at the end of the day, this is also seventeen, eighteen year old suguru, and there’s so much space for him to grow out of this. i think it’s more that he’s the type of person to prefer the easy way out, so he relies on things like getting on the referee’s good side. it could also be that he’s aware of his downfalls so he wants to have anything to his and his team’s advantage, you know? it’s not to say he doesn’t put in effort, because i still think he does, or even that he’s lazy, but it’s more that he wants something and he has a way of getting it that’s faster for him, you know? like i said, i don’t think he’s a bad person, at all. everybody has their flaws, and i think all the haikyuu boys have their own, it’s just that suguru’s is more explicit.

motivation; so like i mentioned how he likes the easy way out, i think suguru’s motivation would be to have high achievements. he seems like an insatiable person, one that always wants more, and more, and more, so he’s always climbing up higher. but also, even though he’s insatiable, he kinda? gives up easily? or not that he gives up easily, it’s more that he’s okay with a loss, or that he accepts defeat relatively easy with a shrug, as in “there’ll be more opportunities, it’s not the end of the world.” towards you, suguru would probably want to have you as his s/o to prove to himself, or to prove to others, that’s capable or worthy of someone like you. it’s kind of sad in a way, because in his head you’re way out of his league, but he makes it seem as a front that you’re just barely worthy of him when he asks you out, simply as a defense mechanism. 

daishō love language; subtle acts of affection, 100%. you could see how happy he was to explain to mika all about volleyball, and how happy he was to know that she had been listening and actually putting in an effort to understand the sport that he likes. it’s things like that that really, really matter to him. listening intently when the other speaks of something they’re passionate about, remembering tiny details, like their favorite drink, or their go-to order at a restaurant, or something they’d mentioned in passing that they really wanted, or the way they prefer to sleep at night. that’s the way he expresses his love, definitely. 

daishō’s preferred dates; visiting movie theaters, staying in, late night strolls on the beach, clubs/parties

kissing daishō; really, really slow and lazy, kinda lewd as well, in that it’s shameless, and loud 

what being with daishō feels like; the feeling when you predict a plot twist in a movie or show correctly 

DAICHI SAWAMURA 

daichi’s general personality; dad. what a dad. such a Dad. dadchi sawamura. i think it’s very obvious that he’s a very mature character, and he easily fits in the role of a leader. i think him being captain is perfect, because he leads the team perfectly, and he knows all his teammates really well, and is able to respond to each of them correctly, knows how to motivate them perfectly. in that way, he’s a very, very reliable person. he’s someone you can lean on constantly, whenever, wherever. someone you can turn to knowing that your best interests are in their mind when he reaches out to give you advice. he’s someone that will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. he’s also not the type of person that considers the role of a leader and captain as a burden, not someone that thinks it’s a really big responsibility which he wishes can be taken off his shoulders from time to time. no, he appreciates the role, and takes it with all of its heavy weight. he’s really independent and mature in that sense. it’s not to say that he’s very stable constantly, because everyone has their moments, and although he really is unbothered by the responsibility, i think he constantly overthinks his decisions. maybe not so often, but it happens, because every decision he’s ever taken has impacted all of his teammates consecutively, you know? he has to think big, consider the big picture. but yeah, daichi is a very reliable and mature person. will it get annoying and will it have you begging him to loosen up every once in a while? maybe, but is he also very childish at times? yes. make sure to get it on camera though

motivation; much like kuroo, the fact that they’re both captains aside, he does everything for other people. it’s different though because kuroo puts other people above himself, but daichi thinks for everyone including himself. the only one with braincells. he thinks broadly, and considers all consequences for both himself, and for others. his motivation would probably be to see himself and everyone succeed and be their best, to see their efforts put into work, to be able to be incredibly proud of everything they’ve achieved. he really is such a dad. towards you, however, it’s a lot sweeter, and it’d be something like his infatuation with you. he’d want to be the reason for your happiness, wants to be yours, wants you to be all his. kinda possessive but like, in a sweet way. 

daichi’s love language; confessions and domestic acts. daichi is unafraid to let you know he loves you, regardless of who’s around, or where you two are. he’s super okay with wrapping his ams around you randomly and just pressing a kiss to your temple and going “i love you.” he doesn’t know why he does it so often, maybe every time he says it, it reassures him. domestic acts in how he’s so comfortable waking up next to you, or how when you sleep over at his house you still get up and make breakfast, or how even folding laundry together is fun. he finds huge comfort in being able to appreciate the most mundane things, like doing the dishes or cleaning around the house, can feel so serene and loving with you. 

daichi’s preferred dates; fancy dinners, mini golf, theme parks, road trips, driving up mountains 

kissing daichi; weirdly, it’s not soft as you’d expect, more rough and possessive. he always kisses you like someone is watching and he wants to show you off, to prove that you’re all his. 

what being with daichi feels like; listening to a love song and feeling nostalgic, even if you’ve never been in love 

ASAHI AZUMANE 

asahi’s general personality; oh i love this big teddy bear <3 that’s literally what he is. i absolutely adore the fact that he’s really intimidating physically, but his personality is the farthest thing from it; in fact, it’s the complete opposite. i have something important to include though!! in the same way asahi’s very fragile, especially his esteem, and the same way he guilts himself entirely and places the blame on himself whenever something goes wrong, he’s also very easily, and very steadily uplifted (as in, a win is a win, it’s sure and certain and it’s grounding), very easy to accept wins for everyone, not just take all the credit. when he spikes a ball and they score a point, it’s not a win for him, it’s a win for the entire team. that easily translates to asahi being a very giving and thoughtful person. he has a heart too big for him, and yes he’s an over-thinker, but that just means he’s mindful of others, very cautious and careful. although i think if you approach him with an issue, like you’re straight up sobbing, at first he’d be a little wary and anxious and awkward, i also believe he’d be exceptionally good at comforting someone after a few moments. his presence alone is comforting, but he knows if you need to be held or not, knows if you need to be listened to simply, or if you want advice as well, knows if you need comfort in food, or comfort in distraction. asahi just knows. and he’s definitely the one that uses that physical intimidation to his advantage when it comes to like, walking girls home, so that no one bothers them, or being in the same area as someone he knows that’s constantly bullied because just his figure alone scares them off. and my goodness, he’d definitely just subtly slide up beside a girl that he’s noticed is being eyed by men. he’s just... really pure. 

motivation; i think asahi’s motivation is a little more personal, and it’s probably to believe more in himself. it’s to put himself in situations where his skills are tested so that he can improve, to lessen of his fears, to lessen of his self-doubt, to grow more confident and sure of himself, you know? towards you, oh my god. asahi would never approach you. he really wants to, because he really likes you, has liked you for as long as he can remember, but he won’t approach you, unless one of his friends threatens to do it for him. that’d probably be it honestly: he just chooses to embarrass himself instead of having anyone else embarrass him. at least he has a little more control in that former option. 

asahi’s love language; he’s most definitely touch starved, so physical affection!!! he always wants to be touching you, even if it’s simple hand holding. he definitely links your pinkies together too! and honestly, i think he would like public displays of affection, even if it gets him really flustered. of course, don’t straight up make out with him in the middle of a public setting, but give him a little peck on his lips, or cheek kisses, or random hugs where you wrap your arms around his waist and rest your head on his chest and press a little kiss there too. also!!! forehead kisses!!!! he always, always gives those!!! 

asahi’s preferred dates; stargazing, beach picnics, park visits, nights in, any place he can dance with you to slow, serene music honestly

kissing asahi; it always makes you feel all warm inside, and always flutters the butterflies in your stomach. it’s not slow, nor is it fast, it’s just steady, but it’s pouring love and passion 

what being with asahi feels like; being the only one awake at home at a really late timing 

MIYA ATSUMU 

atsumu’s general personality; i’m sorry if i bore you guys because fair warning, this bout to be long as hell. unlike oikawa, who i think has this charming, intimidatingly skilled attitude as a front, i think atsumu’s personality is just expressed or comes off incorrectly. as in, for example, he’s really sensitive when it comes to carelessness in regards to volleyball, but it comes off as selfishness and rudeness, even though the origin of it all isn’t his want to be rude. it’s not that he doesn’t know how to express his feelings either, because i know that his feelings are loud, it’s just that he doesn’t know how to make it add up, in a way? i also think he’s self-centered, yes, but as a defense mechanism. this is gonna sound really sad but it’s more like, “i won’t give you a chance to make something awful to hate about me,” and something like, “i’m in control of why they hate me.” also, there’s no way that never affected him. maybe as a child, it didn’t really cross his thoughts, because he’s always had osamu anyways, and he couldn’t really make sense of it all, but as he grew older, the more it became clearer that he wasn’t entirely likable, and that really took a toll on him, worsening his attitude towards people. people aren’t rude for no reason, you know? there’s always a place it stemmed from. he takes refuge in that he’s good at volleyball. yeah he’s a piece of shit, but his setting? no one can top it. he has that, and he owns it, and no one can take it away from him. i think atsumu’s one of those people where, over the years, you can watch and see their light dim, in a way. like he’s not a depressed person or anything like that, he just becomes less and less... bright? angrier, irritable, less inclined to trust others and let them in, self conceited. it’s also probably a result of being left out or rejected by others. but the thing is, atsumu is all these things, but he’s also childlike, and so full of love. you can see the way he interacts on the court, his dynamic with his teammates, the way he reacts to kita’s ‘get well soon’ bag. he really is just a ball of sunshine, but it’s all cooped up inside. it’s been buried underneath a mountain of self destructive thoughts and negativity from others. i also consider him a very impulsive person, the type to never think twice before anything, but that can translate into spontaneity too! it’s both a positive and a negative thing. atsumu is also very, very trustworthy person. in short, atsumu is very cheery once around the right people, in the right setting, but he’s so quick to shift into intimidation if necessary. 

motivation; of course, just like osamu, atsumu’s main drive is his brother, whose been there since he was born. there’s no one he can rely on as much as osamu, regardless of their unbelievable competitiveness and their constant arguments. however, i think there’s a little more to atsumu. going off on what i mentioned above, volleyball is his safe haven. it’s something he can fall back on and be sure and certain of the safety net available. it’s not what makes him atsumu, but it’s a big part of him, a big part of shaping his personality, which is why i think constantly improving is atsumu’s other motivation. he can’t ever let himself go, you know? towards you, well, it was probably something really stupid honestly. you might have to play hard to get with atsumu, even though either way he’s gonna like it, but the chase? he adores it. 

atsumu’s love language; acts of service and physical affection. he’ll save your favorite go-to orders for every restaurant on his notes app, he’ll blow-dry your hair for you after a shower if you’re too lazy, he’ll learn hairstyles for you, he’ll hold your shirt down as you take off a sweater so it doesn’t ride up, he’ll make you try food he knows you’ll like, he stays up on facetime with you after recognizing the telltale signs of you being upset, he’ll go shopping with you, giving you a thumbs up, halfway, or down for each outfit, he’ll collect notes for you if you’re off from school, and so much more. that’s how atsumu expresses his love; that, and physical affection. always touching you somehow, someway, with his hand in yours, or on the back of your neck, or on the small of your back, or on your waist, slipping slightly beneath your shirt, or around your shoulder. and he’s always kissing you too, either on your cheek, or on your lips, or on your knuckles, or on your wrist, or your temple. and he’s always hugging you, and i mean always, you’ll have your head on his chest, or his chin tucked on your shoulder. atsumu doesn’t say i love you, he shows it. 

atsumu’s preferred dates; campfires at the beach, stargazing on a rooftop, waterparks, carnival visits (tries to win you everything but can’t do shit), bowling, drive throughs

kissing atsumu; really playful but always leaves you hot and bothered. he kisses like he’s trying to prove a point, which you can’t decide on, but it always leaves you a little breathless, a little dizzy, and even more in love with him

what being with atsumu feels like; leaving a movie theatre and slightly dissociating from reality 

KITA SHINSUKE 

kita’s general personality; omg i love!!! him!!! kita, as shown in the anime and manga, is a very methodical person. he does things the way he always does them, routinely, and he finds comfort in that. and he doesn’t do things for the end result, he finds satisfaction in the productivity he feels, in seeing his efforts play out, in it all adding up and building up to the end product. it’s not what’s produced that matters to him, it’s more what he did and went through to be able to produce such a thing or result. which is why i think kita really is confident in his skills, and that’s obvious and seen when he’s on court. it’s because he knows all he’s done and all the effort he’s put in to be where he is now, and he knows they’re not going to fail him, he’s sure of it. his efforts are his safety net. that relates to kita being reliable, and being everyone else’s safety net. he’s very similar to daichi in that he’s the glue that sticks the team together, the final puzzle piece that completes a set. he’s also exceptionally good at being a captain, not because he leads very well, which yes, of course he does, but he knows his teammates. he knows what they need to hear, and is unafraid of telling them so, knows how to handle them properly, individually, and as a group. he’s also insanely observant in that not only is he good at reading people and situations, but also at being aware of the position he stands in. he knows he’s not what could be considered a ‘genius’ at volleyball, but not only is he aware of that, he accepts it, and accepts it with grace too. he understands that not everyone is special, but that also everyone is special in their own way, and are built based off of what efforts they put. which ties into the fact that kita is really mature, making him a reliable presence. 

motivation; like i said, kita finds comfort in routine. he never truly has an end goal, just that whatever is achieved from what work he puts in he’ll believe is worth that. kita’s motivation is his everyday routines. it’s waking up, making his bed, making breakfast, cleaning around the house, or going to practice, putting in the work, staying after to clean. it’s the little moments that make up his entire day, that add it all up, that really matter, that really are his drive. for you, it would be a really simple “i want to be with them.” i don’t think kita would sugarcoat his feelings, or try to deny them with himself, even if yes, he will absolutely get flustered. his motivation towards you is literally just his desire and want to be with you. 

kita’s love language; everything, but subtly. you can see that kita loves you with the way his attention is entirely on you when you speak. you can see he loves you with how he moves your hair out of your face for you. you can see he loves you in the way he says good morning to you, a soft smile on his face, a gentle kiss pressed to your forehead. you can see he loves you in the way he twirls you in his arms when you slow dance with him in the kitchen. you can see he loves you in the way his eyes light up at the simple mention of you, or the fact that everyone is aware of his love for you, in that it’s not kita, but kita and you. kita loves you wholly, and he will say it if you need to hear it, if he wants to say it, but it’s blatantly obvious, spottable from a mile away, clear and bright as day. 

kita’s preferred dates; pottery making, art classes, drives around town, grocery shopping together, fancy dinners 

kissing kita; everything kita does is methodical except kissing. kissing is where he lets loose, allows himself to be a little more carefree, a little more daring. he always kisses you like he’s afraid of losing you, like you’ll disappear in mere seconds 

what being with kita feels like; being on vacation and waking up really early at a hotel

IWAIZUMI HAJIME 

iwaizumi’s general personality; iwa iwa iwa!!!!!! i know we all like to paint iwa in this mature light, like he’s the dad of the team, but the reality of it is iwaizumi’s just as much immature at times, it’s only that he’s the most responsible and least immature out of all of them. and he is! responsible that is. he really is, and he’s reliant too, but that doesn’t mean we should reduce his personality to ‘brat tamer of oikawa’ because, come on, there’s more to him than just that. iwaizumi loves, and he loves too much, loves too hard, he cares too much, cares too hard. his way of showing it is through violence, sure, and maybe he’ll be super aggressive when he finds out you’re not taking care of yourself, but will he go to the ends of the earth to make you feel better? yes, he absolutely will, no doubt, no hesitation in it at all. it might be a little bit of a flaw too, but when iwaizumi loves, he literally hands you his entire heart in your hands with the full expectation that you’ll take care of it. he strikes me as the type of person that always expects the best of people. he’s not naive, but he does always see the best in people rather than just immediately seeing the worst. i also don’t think he’s violence-prone, either. like yes, he will beat up his friends no questions asked, but he wouldn’t start a physical fight, nor would he provoke anyone to initiate one. the only exception is to protect or to defend his friends or loved ones. i feel like that’s a red line you shouldn’t cross with iwa, because he will abandon any inhibitions when it comes to them. friends and loved ones first, then anything else. so yes, like i said earlier, iwaizumi is responsible, he’s reliable, he’s strong and sturdy (i mean,,, both physically and conceptually ig), and he’s someone that you do not want to ever lose once he enters your life. not because he’ll hurt you or anything like that, but because the loss of him in your life is significant and it’s impactful. that’s not to say iwaizumi’s not an absolute child at times, considering he literally, canonically has a godzilla phone case 

motivation; honestly? i think iwaizumi does things,,, just to do them. like he gets satisfaction of course, from achieving certain things, like being one of the top aces, or from getting into a really good university, because of his good grades, from having a clear career path, from having the body that he does, from being where he is today in general, but he never had a direct motivation towards the actions that got these certain results. like sure he got into volleyball because it was a fun sport, his best friend was in it too, he got really good, he stayed, and sure he has really high grades, because he needs to, but why? he just does. he does things because he feels the need to achieve, you know? that’s his drive, essentially. the need to feel productive and satisfied with his achievements. towards you, however, it’s more serene. he wants to get to know you. that’s it. he’s genuinely just interested in you, in what you have to say, in your hobbies and interests, and your favorite movie, and your favorite song or artist, and your favorite color, what your aspirations are. iwaizumi just wants to know you. 

iwaizumi’s love language; domesticity and acts of service. iwaizumi will fall in love with you if you feel like home, if you give him that deep sense of comfort settling in his chest. yes he wants the rush of it all, of being in love, the excitement of loving someone, but he also wants the calmness that accompanies it, the sureness that tags along. he likes certainty, stability, you know? and his actions will always speak louder than words. every date he greets you with flowers, meets you in front of the school gates if he hasn’t walked you and greets you with a gentle kiss on the lips and a “good morning.” will he explicitly say “i miss you”? no, but he will appear at your window at three in the morning with a backpack filled with your favorite snacks and an extra hoodie for you to borrow. he loves you, he loves you widely and large, but you have to really know iwaizumi to recognize the pattern 

iwaizumi’s preferred dates; go-karting, late night drives, concerts, the beach (but at night, including swimming), picnics at sunrise 

kissing iwaizumi; i can fully see him being a little shy, especially at the beginning! his kisses start off really gentle, as if he’s afraid to break you, but overtime, they develop into possessive, and a little rough, kisses. still absolutely breathtaking though 

what being with iwaizumi feels like; being in an empty parking lot, with music seeping through your car’s speakers 

end note; this took me like three separate days omg. i really, really hope i didn’t miss anyone haikyuu requests for this past event. it’s closed now my loves, but maybe it’ll make a comeback soon! hold onto your request till then :)

excuse any mistakes made in this if there are! and thank you for reading! i hope you all enjoyed <3
