Every time the rat and I talk to each other about Transformers, some new AU or canon divergence comes into existance.
The latest of which is a Breakdown redemption for Transformers Prime that involves Breakdown taking most of Smokescreen's plot and screen time whilst making Smokescreen besties with Ultra Magnus.
Allow me to explain:
Breakdown properly switches sides somewhere during or shortly after Crossfire, or sometime around Toxicity for that nice replacement thing with Breakdown instead of Smokescreen. He gets to have his whole redemption arc, things happen, Darkmount happens, and Breakdown is the one left trying to save Optimus. (He also has the phase shifter at this point)
Now, you may be asking, "Where is Smokescreen?" And boy let me tell you!!
For this all to work, Smokescreen has to remain in the Iacon Hall of Records for just a little bit longer. For you see, after Alpha Trion knocked him out, he was sequestered away somewhere where he could remain hidden and escape on his own. This did not happen.
What did happen was one Ultra Magnus, just about to leave Cybertron, comes across the rubble of the Hall of Records. He scours the area for a short amount of time, hoping there's some supplies, relics, or energon he could use for the long journey to who-knows-where. He comes across none of the above. He does, however, find one passed out, rather young-looking Elite Guardsman. Magnus grabs the kid, takes him to his ship, and the two leave Cybertron. The planet's dead, Iacon had fallen, there was nothing left for them here.
So now Ultra Magnus is in space with an unconscious kid. Not for long, as Smokescreen does wake up rather quickly. Explanations are had, and Smokes discovers the fall of the very place he was supposed to be protecting. Magnus hears Smokescreen's side of the story as well. (Certain things aren't adding up, but he isn't sure exactly why. His best assumption is that there was a Con on the inside who knocked the kid out before the Hall was attacked.)
And so begins the very, very long journey through space.
I have so many ideas for this and so many fun things that happen. Not only do I love a good Breakdown redemption, this one isn't at the cost of Smokescreen. In fact! I would say that Smokescreen is having a much better time here compared to in canon.
#i still haven't gotten over âarcee you're rolling with meâ#because the only context upon which ultra magnus would say that#is in fact if he picked it up the during the last thousands of years from smokescreen#you need to understand#magnus and smokes share a vocabulary#they have their own familect#you cannot spend that much time with someone without learning their quirks#i bring up the wing-speak once again and how magnus now has a harder time determining the tone which someone is speaking with#because smokescreen's is not only audible#but visual through his doorwings#making magnus no longer need to rely on tone that heavily at all#they also talk with their hands a lot#magnus picked it up from smokey#and smokey does it with everyone anyway#but magnus won't use his hands as much when talking unless it's with smokescreen#breakdown and smokescreen also get to hang out together in an outlier sort of way#bd because he's an ex-con#and smokes because his only company for thousands of years was magnus#and i can't imagine that would be all that great for one's social skills#(and nobody in team prime particularly likes ultra magnus but that's neither here nor there)#tfp smokescreen#tfp breakdown#tfp ultra magnus#transformers prime#canon divergence#i love it#please ask me things about it because i will gladly answer

Hiii! Its my first time I request here.
Can you write about manager kim, mr kim?
Like headcanons or when he get jealous or anything is good with you. (áâŠá)
Im sorry if my english is bad. (*_ _)äşş
manager kim x reader ; headcanons ver.



summary: headcanons of manager kim x fem! reader
pairing: manager kim x reader
details: slightly suggestive . mention of alchohol . kinda depressing bc we know what this man is like . mentions of ptsd / trauma . established relationship ( he calls you his wife ) . all headcanons are my opinion, i'm not forcing you to agree with them! . all dividers used are from @cafekitsune . all pictures used are from pinterest . not proofread
a/n: my man just looks so silly goofy in the second pic. also, first anon ask!! tysm for requesting bae <3 did both headcanons and jealousy if that's ok with you! also i wrote a part of this in public and maybe i was just too paranoid but a girl behind me laughed im so scared now... enjoy babes!
let's start off with the most obvious obvious one; this man would die for you
you could tell him to go up against the government and he would do so without hesitation (he's basically already doing it anyways LMFAO)
absolutely adores cuddling up to you while sleeping. my theory is that this man secretly enjoys being the little spoon because he's never gotten that kind of comfort when he was younger
he likes it when you wrap your arms around him from behind as well. actually, he just likes any type of contact with you.
inwardly guilty he can't spoil you with lavish goods because he's not exactly rich. you deserve the world, in his eyes, and a secret fear of his is that one day you'll leave him
he's either a great cook or a food poisoner, there is no in between. either way, he loves your home-cooked meals the most
very domesticated around you. he radiates black cat energy, and whenever he comes home from work and practically drapes himself all over you, you're always reminded of a grumpy but comfort-seeking cat you once saw on social media.
not a great kisser, because let's be for real, between raising minji and his missions, he doesn't have a lot of time to practice his smooching skills. however, he's a really quick learner and you've noticed a drastic improvement in his bedroom skills ever since he started dating you. but he's great with his hands ( yk, his cqc... fast fingers... ). i'll leave the rest to your imagination
bro would absolutely be the type to be silent about his relationship with you, so people either find out through seeing him with you, or minji happily going around telling everyone she has a mom now.
my headcanon is that this man has horrible alcohol tolerance. one shot with hansu and jincheong is enough to make him red in the face. the first time he came home drunk, you thought he was kind of cute intoxicated and secretly filmed him the entire night tripping over thin air and arguing with the soap
would insist on carrying all your bags. it's rare for you to go on a shopping spree, but even if you're going out for your routinely grocery run, he would insist on carrying all the bags, including your purse, even if you keep insisting he let you carry something.
this gentleman finally relents and lets you carry the bag of chips home LMFAO
now let's talk about his... less than ideal background.
if you were totally oblivious about his past, he would feel a mix of relief and worry, because he's happy that you don't know about his shady history, but also worried that one day you would find out about it, and possibly leave him. let's be real, with the humongous target on his back, someone is bound to find out he has a wife and harm you.
he would never admit it to you, but in the end you'd find out anyways. there's no way the two of you could go your entire lives without finding out every little detail of each other's past, pretty or not.
let's just say you found out through someone ambushing your house when manager kim wasn't home to try and kidnap you. but of course, your husband, having installed silent alarms in every corner of your shared apartment, immediately came racing back to grab you and swoop you into a safe house in the blink of an eye.
he had explained everything to you, saying that if you didn't want to stay with him he would completely understand and accept it.
poor boy was so confused when you burst into tears and hugged him and called him an idiot. he genuinely didn't believe anybody normal would want to be with him even though he basically told them he used to be a ruthless war machine.
after you had calmed down, you had explained that you were disappointed that he thought so little of himself, and you were also really sad because you realized where all the scars littered across his body had come from, and it broke your heart to think that he had gone through so much pain during his time in the military.
after that whole fiasco, you treated his scars more tenderly than ever.
you would trace the bullet scars and lines on his upper body with care and softness as you lay in bed together, and he can't help but think that some good has come out of coming clean to you after all
but let's say that you knew about his past, maybe because you were a part of his squad back in the days.
shared trauma ig
but seriously, i feel like he would feel more at ease whenever he leaves the house to go on a mission because he knows you can protect yourself and minji if the need arises, even if he would still get anxious and worried for your safety.
tbh i feel like you probably caught his eye because you kicked his ass a couple of times when sparring lol
he would like the fact that he could come home in the dead of the night, covered in blood from head to toe, and not have to fumble for an excuse to tell you
nightmare bonding is real bc the two of you have probably gone through some extremely traumatic things in your early days, and of course it's going to leave a lasting impact on both of you.
some nights, the two of you would wake up sweating and shivering after reliving those moments, or seeing your dead comrades, and can silently comfort each other as you both steady your breathing and calm yourselves down
definitely would bring the two of you closer together than ever
let's talk about what manager kim would be like if he's jealous!
would be the type to subtly swoop in and enter whatever conversation you were having with the poor guy, remaining calm and collected, though he made sure he dropped hints left and right.
"ah yes, my wife owns that dress..." "my wife loves the tteokbokki at that restaurant..." "my wife... my wife..."
and when the dude finally gets the hint and backs off, you're always left feeling amused as you watch your husband stare at the guy as he walks off, a stoic look on his face, though you can always feel the triumph radiating off him.
and let's just say the guy doesn't get the hint, and instead keeps implying that you can do so much better than what you have right now. you smile awkwardly, reassuringly interlacing your fingers with his, but it's not enough for the cold stare to drop from manager kim's face.
spoiler alert: that guy either dies or he leads a very unlucky life afterwards
after you and him part ways with the annoying guy (you have to politely excuse yourselves with a lame excuse), manager kim is always left feeling slightly insecure and ashamed of himself. the guys that hit on you are always younger, always richer, always better looking. why would you want to stay with a broke, single father like him anyways? his secret fear comes back into play as these thoughts eat him alive
it doesn't take much to make him forget his worries - just reassure him and comfort him and pamper him, but if a few days go by without you noticing the shame and insecurities eating him away, it might cause him putting some distance between the two of you because he thinks he's not worthy of your love
besides his self-degradation, this man is one of the best men in manager kim to end up with because you know he's going to do whatever he can to ensure you live comfortably, with little to no fears or worries whatsoever. 10/10.
p.s. bro would defo be the type to get hit on by older women when he goes to parent-teacher meetings. and going back to how he wouldn't outright talk about his marriage, none of the women would ever know he was married, until they saw you come in place of your husband, who was on a 'work trip' (that was not true, he went to another city to murder some gang), and needless to say, the women never bothered manager kim ever again.

Joey B Imagines: Kindergarten

ââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
summary: after your daughters 4th birthday, her first day of kindergarten hits your husband joe like a brick wall. you seem to be the only person that can make him feel remotely any better about his first born growing up.
warnings: none, fluff
pairing: joe burrow x reader
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
shortly after savannaâs 4th birthday the realization that she'd be off to kindergarten soon hit joe like a brick.
joe was so nervous about the whole thing, even though he was gone a lot because of football he always knew that his little girl was safe with his wife or other family members. the thought of his first born being in a building with complete strangers freaked him out. y/n tried her best to calm her husband down, reassuring him that sav would do great because of her social personality.
"what is she misses us?" - joe
"listen, she's going to be too distracted with making friends and learning to even think about us joe." - you
y/n hoped that attending the open house would ease some of joes worries because he'd be able to meet the woman that would be sav's teacher along with being able to explore the place his daughter would be 4 hours a day and 4 days a week.
while there, sav was shown her cubby, her assigned seat, and she met her teacher Mrs. Martin. after sav talked to her teacher for a little bit, you suggested she go play with some of her classmates while you and joe talked to Mrs. Martin.
you asked questions, and observed that Mrs. Martin had a passion for teaching by how she talked about it.
due to the fact it was a private school, sav had to take tests to get in. there were just a couple things that they had as requirements for the kids to know before hand. joe was the one that taught her everything, there were many nights that you two would be sitting in bed and joe would be making flashcards to test sav on the next morning. you found it cute. joes nerdy side had been one of your favorite things about him since you were introduced to it in the beginning of your relationship.
Mrs. Martin quickly noticed how joe kept nervously looking at sav playing with the other kids instead of intently listening to what she was saying like you were.
"she's going to do great Mr. Burrow, her test scores have been astounding and she has exceptional social skills for her age. you've prepared her well." - Mrs. Martin
"i know she will. it's just hard, she's my first born and she's growing up so fast.." - joe
Mrs. Martin nodded before she moved on to talk to other parents.
that night after tucking sav in, joe cuddled up to you in bed.
"you okay?" - you laced your fingers into his hair, knowing it comforted him
"no." - joe sniffled
"she's gonna do great joey.." - you kissed his forehead
"i just can't believe she's old enough to be in school. i know it's just kindergarten but then comes 8th grade graduation.. and the next thing you know she's off to college." - joe cried
"baby..." - you held joe in your chest
"i know you're probably thinking i'm just being overdramatic.." - joe
"no, not at all joe. how about we get some sleep though, okay?" - you
"okay. can you hold me?" - joe
"of course" - you wrapped your arms around him and entangled your legs with his
(y/n's pov)
the next morning was even more rough. joe tried to busy himself by getting up super early and making pancakes for sav, along with checking her backpack three times to make sure she had everything and packing her lunch.
when i woke sav up to start getting her ready for her first day, she seemed excited to go to school.
after i got her in her first day dress, she told me about everything she was looking forward to as i curled her bleach blonde hair.
once she was completely ready i told her that breakfast was waiting for her downstairs.
"morning dada!!" - savanna yelled when she saw joe sitting at the kitchen counter
"mornin princess! you excited for school?" - joe
"yup! i like school." - savanna
"you need to eat your pancakes real quick so we can get going." - joe
in the time span of sav eating her pancakes, joe and i had gotten dressed and were ready to go.
as i was getting all of savâs extra stuff put in the backseat, along with a gift basket for her teacher, in the corner of my eye i saw the sweetest sight. sav had her backpack on, lunchbox in hand and joe had her posed in front of the front door as he took pictures of her.
when joe told her that he was done she ran over to the car and climbed in, leaving joe and i alone for a second.
"i wish we would've picked the homeschooling option." - joe
"well with how much you're away because of football it would be more me then we.â - you
"exactly why we didn't pick the homeschooling option." - joe kissed your cheek
"i love you." - you smiled
"love you too, babe." - joe
you held joes hand the entire way to the school and you felt his grip get tighter as you guys pulled into the parking lot.
"i'm gonna stay in the car, you okay to walk her up there?" - you
"yeah, i'd prefer it actually. iâll be right back, momma." - joe kissed you before he got out of the car
"bye savvy! have a good day!" - you watched joe get her out of her car seat
"bye momma!" - savanna replied before joe shut the door
joe held sav tightly as he walked up to the door.
"good morning miss savanna! morning Mr. Burrow!" - Mrs. Martin
"mornin!" - savanna
joe put sav down and crouched down. he had to grab her hands before she could run away.
"you're gonna do great sweetheart. remember everything i taught you?" - joe
"yup!" - savanna
"you're so smart princess, just like your momma." - joe smiled
"can i go? i wanna play!" - savanna
"yup, here give me a hug before you go." - joe
sav wrapped her small arms around joes neck as he hugged her tight. he really didn't want to let go.
"have a good day okay? you can tell me all about it when i pick you up." - joe
"i will daddy!" - savanna
joe hugged her one last time and placed a kiss on her cheek.
once he stood up, sav was ready to take off into the school.
"bye, sweetie." - joe attempted to smile
"bye dada!" - savanna turned around and ran into the building
joe stood there for a few seconds and watched her walk up to a couple other girls her age and then put her backpack in her cubby that was in the hallway in front of the classroom.
"you need a tissue?" - Mrs. Martin
joe didn't even realize he was crying till she said that.
"nah i'm good... i'm gonna get going." - joe
your heart broke when you saw joe slowly walking back to the car. he was visibly upset. that was a rare case when it came to joe.
once you guys got to the house and the twins were occupied in their room, you attempted to console joe.
"you need to relax a bit baby.." - you hugged him
"i know.. i really don't know why this is so hard for me." - joe
"your first born starting school is a big deal, most parents have the same reaction." - you
"mhm. i cant wait to pick her up." - joe laid his head on your shoulder as you rubbed his back
"you need to distract yourself. don't you have some film to watch?" - you
"yeah, i do actually. i'll be in the office if you need me, okay?" - joe
"okay." - you smiled and pecked his lips
the remainder of the day at home, joe tried to distract himself by watching film and occasionally playing around with the you.
but, with all the time you'd spent being with joe you could easily read him. you could tell he was counting down the hours till it would be time to pick sav up from school.
you were washing dishes with your airpods in when all of a sudden joe rushed into the kitchen and grabbed his car keys off the key hanger.
you paused your music and stopped your husband before he ran out of the kitchen and into the garage.
"joe.. baby where are you going?" - you
"the school." - joe
"school doesn't end for another 45 minutes.. we live 15 minutes away." - you
"i know. i want to go early and wait in the parking lot." - joe
you couldn't help but smile; this overprotective dad side of joe was so lovable.
joe still stood there, waiting to hear what you were going to reply with. almost as if he was asking for approval.
"okay, i'll see you in a bit then?" - you
"yeah. bye, i love you!" - joe turned and walked into the garage
"bye, love you!" - you
joe sat in the parking lot of the school for over 30 minutes. he sat scrolling on his phone, kid cudi playing lowly through the cars speakers.
as soon as the clock hit 1:30, joe got out of the car and hurried up to the door. he was the first person in line.
his anxiety levels shot up when a minute had passed and the doors hadn't opened yet.
at 1:32 there was still no sign of the doors opening so he texted you to verify the time sav was dismissed.
hubbyđ - school ends at 1:30 right? it's almost been three minutes and the doors haven't opened yet
before you could even answer, the doors opened and Mrs. Martin wasn't at all surprised to see that joe was the first parent in line.
"savanna burrow!" - Mrs. Martin called out
sav ran outside and up to her dad, joes face lit up as he reached down to grab her hand before walking back to the car.
"how was your day?" - joe
"awesome! i love school. i made a friend! her name is summer!" - sam
"thats greet sweetie. so you're excited to go back tomorrow?" - joe
"yup!" - sam
âiâm so glad you had fun, princess. wanna go to the store with me to get momma some flowers? she needs something after putting up with me today.â - joe mumbled the last part
âsure, daddy!â - sam giggled
god, joe loved his girls.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
authors note: fluffy dad joe is my favorite â¤ď¸
hope you enjoyed! â¤ď¸

Hii! Would you ever consider writing a yandere snowjanus x reader fic or imagine?
-đŁ
Oh boy, I love it.
Imagining they both noticed you at around the same time, separately.
This could be in the Capitol or in District 12; the difference does matter, as far as power dynamic and the tactics available to them and frankly their hairstyles, but for the sake of this post we'll say it could be either one. If necessary, maybe I'll make a separate post for what they're like specifically in the Capitol or specifically in the Districts. (Actually, whether you're a Capitol citizen or a District citizen is also a means of variation, so really there are four different combinations, unless we treat Sejanus' kind of District-born Capitol citizen status as a separate category, in which case five; being District-born Capitol would only matter in the Capitol setting, not the District. Does any of that make sense?)
They both fall for you, but Coriolanus is better at hiding it behind a formal, personable mask. He observes that Sejanus likes you, and if it were anyone else he would feel annoyed and possibly threatened, but he feels pretty in control of Sejanus, so he actually nudges him closer.
His thought is, if he can get Sejanus to do all the work of courting you, he can pretty much slide in there effortlessly once that's done. Let Sejanus clear the way, ward off suitors, prove his loyalty and affection. (Meanwhile, Coriolanus can focus on his University work, his mentorship with Dr. Gaul, whatever other ladder-climbing he's got going on.)
If Sejanus manages to actually win your affections, Coriolanus can use Sejanus' affection for him to add himself to the relationship.
If Sejanus can't win your affections, then at least he got rid of the other suitors. Coryo can take it upon himself to be charming and win you over, and then he can graciously allow Sejanus access to you as well. He does actually like Sejanus and enjoy the idea of charitably sharing someone like you with him; he just will always see himself as the de facto highest-ranking and most important member of the polycule.
The way this looks, in practice, is: Sejanus admires you from afar and feels a passive envy towards any other romantic entities in your life. Coriolanus urges him to act on these feelings, needles the productive insecurities and soothes the unproductive ones. Sejanus trusts Coriolanus when he says that certain people in your life are taking advantage of you or hurting you in some way, believes him when he says that getting rid of them is the right thing to do.
So, Sejanus does things that, left to his own devices, he might only have fantasized about.
It's Sejanus' money and shooting skills backed by Coriolanus' rationalizations and manipulations.
Inside, Sejanus knows that what he's doing is wrong, but Coriolanus is good at making sure the worst of him is rewarded with praise, attention, and you.
With you, Coriolanus is smooth and flattering. He has all the social graces and charming repartee down to a science, if not an art. He is observant, accommodating, and just generally great to be with.
Sejanus is less polished, more endearingly stuck in his head. He's a smart, witty guy, but around you he gets really shy and earnestly wholesome in a way his years in the Capitol have not encouraged. He's been bullied, and he's learned not to be too vulnerable with people, but he finds himself saying really heartfelt stuff to you, and that makes him feel even more helpless than knowing how many crimes he's done to get here.
Coriolanus loves the degree of control over Sejanus promised by the fact that he's the only one who knows about the crimes Sejanus has committed. Like I said, he genuinely likes Sejanus. It feels good to know Sejanus is in so deep and can't turn back. He's going to want to have the same kind of leverage on you, whether it's secrets, financial power, or whatever else. He needs to make sure you need him.
Being with them is nice. They're cute, they're pleasant, they make you laugh.
Sejanus is one of the few people you can talk to about not liking the Hunger Games who will explicitly agree. Coriolanus just sits silently during these conversations, rolls his eyes fondly at both of you, and reminds you not to say any of that in public.
The fact that Coriolanus basically is a Gamemaker now is something that Sejanus weirdly tolerates. You're not sure how the guy who threw a chair in anger, back at the Academy, has resigned himself to just sighing about the inhumanity of it all while sharing a loveseat with his Gamemaker boyfriend. Maybe his time as a Peacekeeper tamed him somehow.
He's comfortable. You're also comfortable. It's weird.
This isn't a kidnapping scenario; you're just in a relationship with the two of them, and as long as you don't try to break up or withdraw in any way, it's all smooth as satin.
If you start going against the grain, though, you're going to find out how many hooks Coriolanus has already put in place. You'll start to see the strings on everything in your life, including Sejanus.
You want to take a trip with your family instead of staying in town to attend a formal event with Coryo and Sejanus? All of a sudden some private statement you made in the past about disliking the Games has been flagged as treasonous, and you're not allowed to travel until the matter is resolved. (If you go to the event with them, the issue swiftly goes away. He explains that he had Dr. Gaul pardon you.)
You want to take a break from staying over with them every other evening, because someone in your family is sick or injured? Suddenly, the hospital can no longer care for your relative for an affordable price, because the Plinths' donations have mysteriously stopped and treatment prices have skyrocketed. Coriolanus is glad to personally pay for them to be cared for.
The more you push, the more stuff will fall apart. If the first little intimidation tactics work as intended, you won't have to see the full extent of the trap.
Coriolanus gives you a jabberjay in a birdcage, as a gift, and uses it to spy on you. He might place Sejanus in charge of obtaining information from the jabberjay, because Coryo loooooves to keep his hands clean.
(Let me know if you liked it!)

Hello hello! Long time follower!
I really like reading all your translations, theories and fanfics! It's really great to be able to read your thoughts about characters and cards because am a f2p so I have a very limited stash of gems to pull lol
So I was thinking about the rrcent jp update and I went back to read some of your work on Scarabia. I'll admit they weren't amongst my favorites before so I haven't paid too much attention to them. I was wondering then about the couple times you've said Jamil is well off? Maybe it's from one of his SSR cards of his home event, but I can't remember where he or maybe Kalim implies that?
That's it, just a silly question thanks so much for all that you do, I love so much all your theories and thoughts about the lore and the cast! Have a good day!
Hdsbskwhsk Iâm glad that my blog brings you joy and makes your free to play experience more fun 𤊠Thanks for sticking with me all this time!
As for your question, Iâm not actually sure if there's dialogue which explicitly states the Viper family's level of wealth. I couldn't find any when I combed through, so I had to go off of implications and my own interpretations of those. From what Iâve gathered, I see the Vipers as upper middle class, or at least middle class with a LOT of benefits (the benefits being present boost them to upper middle class due to the lifestyle the benefits afford them).
So firstly, I think there's a lot of debate surrounding Jamil's family income. Some fans seem to think that the Vipers must be destitute due to their position as servants and Jamil's disdain for how the Asims throw around their money and influence. However, perceived social status or class does NOT always equate to being low income. There are people irl who are technically "servants" and "hired help" that make a significant salary while working for much wealthier individuals. There is data for bodyguards, private chefs, executive assistants, and skilled nannies who earn six-figure incomes and/or excellent benefits working for celebrities, politicians, businessmen, etc. (Notably, guarding, cooking, scheduling/planning, and generally looking after Kalim are all a part of Jamil's duties.) Real world examples of this include employees of the White House and the British royal family.
Now, that all depends a lot on the type of people the employers are. There are many wealthy families who mistreat their staff and/or don't pay them well. From what I've seen of the Asims though, I definitely feel that this is not the case. To begin with, the Vipers don't just do one task for the Asims, they do a LOT. You're already aware of the constant work Jamil has to do around the clock to keep Kalim safe and satisfied, but his parents must do the same. They're described as experts in hospitality and are frequently hosting and entertaining guests from all over Twisted Wonderland. This is skilled labor, and that demands commiserate pay. Not only that, but Kalim describes his father as someone who is very generous (and the guy has plenty of money to spare). I donât see why Mr. Asim would purposefully skimp on specifically paying the Vipers.
I would also imagine that the Vipers are afforded other benefits. Jamil has said many times that he has to look or act a certain way, as his behavior/appearance reflects on the family he serves. Therefore, the Asims may provide other things Jamil and the Vipers need to âlook goodâ and to best represent and serve the Asims. This could mean food, clothes, transportation/travel expenses, education (like additional training, manners lessons, certification exams, etc.) all paid for on the Asim familyâs coin. Jamil has mentioned that his parents gave him lessons in everything heâd need to know in order to serve Kalim, so this tells his parents are also well-educated and/or were at least able to pay for lessons for Jamil. And these lessons arenât ânormalâ lessons either, it includes things like formal bodyguard training (youâd have to pay for this irl) and formal table manners (which most of us arenât taught unless we seek it out).
We also recently learned in book 7 that the Vipers live on Asim property, which is very luxurious. Jamil states that his family would be on the streets should they lose their place serving the Asimsâand this could be interpreted in a very literal sense if we think of as losing the roof over their heads. Yes, it's technically not land or housing that the Vipers own, but it is still free high-class lodging, nonetheless. It is a benefit that is afford to them (among others) because of their job(s), similar to those real life examples I mentioned before. One could make the argument that none of this wealth truly belongs to the Vipers. However, you could also argue that because these benefits come with the job, it technically is theirs as long as they keep their job (which is, in fact, how jobs irl work; if you stop working for an employer then naturally youâll stop getting the benefits that come with that job eventually). Itâs complicated. I suspect that, at the very least, part of the reason why the Vipers donât want to depart from serving the Asims is because they donât want to lose the pay and the perks that come with their work.
I want to add that the Vipersâ position also gives them the unique advantage of exposing them to tons of important individuals. They are able to meet and connect with these VIPs when most people could never even dream of meeting them, even if just from the viewpoint of a servant. Itâs a similar to Lilia and Silver, who technically are not rich (money-wise) but still have ties with majorly influential people (members of the Draconia royal family).
Obviously, the Vipers still arenât as rich as the Asims and probably will never be, but I believe they still enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. We never see Jamil worry about money or being short of it. He gives his VDC/SDC earnings away without batting an eye, unlike Deuce (from a single-parent income family) who keeps the money since it would really help out his mom. He doesnât have to work a ton of odd jobs to make ends meet (unlike Ruggie). But Jamil does haggle and act frugal. I think that behavior comes from not a genuine need but Jamil being mindful and planning ahead to avoid being scammed. Heâs shown to be a cautious individual who often is the one putting the breaks on Kalimâs extravagance, so I feel the skill also comes partly from having to be the one to curb his ridiculous spending and bring Kalim down to earth. Jamil is still the type of person who would tell Kalim when heâs buying too much or overdoing things, even when itâs not Jamilâs own money being spent and he knows Kalim can afford it. Thatâs what leads me to believe his frugalness isnât necessarily the result of him being low income and âneedingâ to save. If that were the case, he shouldnât care if Kalim throws his own money at buying diamond jewelry for all the dorm members as souvenirs.
I think the closest metric we have as a frame of reference for how wealthy Jamil is comes from the Tapis Rouge event. In it, Jamil forks out 500 thaumarks (or 50000 madol) to buy a jacket. He remarks that the price is fairly expensive but good quality so itâs worth it. Whether you consider this an indicator of his low or high wealth is really all relative to what your own perception is. Jamil had also previously remarked that what the Mostro Lounge charges is absurd. In Ruggieâs Ceremonial Robes vignettes, Azul quotes the price of one soft drink as 4 thaumarks/400 madol. Jamil responds with âFour? Talk about a markup.â It should be noted that the latter example doesnât mean Jamil cannot afford a drink of that price; heâs complaining about how expensive Azul has made it to capitalize on the high demand. Do with this knowledge what you will.
Anyway, those are my thoughts! I hope I was able to explain myself well. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to express them ^^

the cats of the park is just frostpaw finally getting some therapy
tbh tho I feel like them being separate from clan life would help her immensely. Theyâre not so wrapped up in this culture of battle so they have a new and refreshing perspective (and also frost doesnât have to worry about ulterior motives because they are STAYING AWAY from THAT trainwreck that is the clans)
(Future edit: this ask is a follow up to this one)
RE: Nothing in BB!ASC is set in stone until the arc is done BUT
One excellent thing ASC has done with the Park cats that is commendable, is that they're treated as legitimate. Not inferior or malicious. They're just another culture that Frostpaw is going to learn from. The bar is UNDERGROUND but we've finally hopped over it.
So I'd want to keep and acknowledge that.
I think I might have an interesting idea for Frostpaw's journey. Also, side note... I'm thinking BB!ASC will rename every book because these titles are actually awful, im sorry. So I'd call this one ASC: The Source of the River
Gonna jot these down;
So, to begin with, Frostpaw calls the human. While being heavily sedated, she has her first vision of Riverstar.
FROSTPAW DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIAL CONNECTION TO STARCLAN.
She NEVER would. Screw that. Instead-- learning to connect to this vision of Riverstar, to her ancestors and their wisdom, is a SKILL she would learn.
Frame the journey less as Riverstar's Side Quest and more as Frostpaw chasing the Revelation she had while anesthetized.
So when she wakes up, she's thinking about how incomprehensibly VAST Riverstar was. She can't even imagine how there's enough space in the world to contain such a being.
Even the Lake itself... the lake is just a droplet, being suckled like a kit on the teat of the Southern Inlet river
For a second, her troubles seemed like a small flea on the nose of a great, cosmic being. But as she reconnects with the mortal plane after her dream, the flea becomes an infestation. She doesn't know where to begin, or how she can save her Clan.
She thinks back to Riverstar. The river that feeds the Lake. Was that what he was trying to tell her? That she has to follow it to the source?
STOP 1: RIVER WARD
The BB!Tribe is massively overhauled. The Tribe of Rushing Water defines themselves as three Wards (Cave, Mountain, River), connected by living on the same stretch of river.
From them, she learns about connections. They are simply able to call upon each other for all they need, there's no need to "appoint" someone to manage everything.
Families and friends hold each other accountable, networking and negotiating constantly. When the group must act as one, it casts stones.
Their Stoneteller is a religious leader, but all cats connect with their ancestors by personally interpreting omens, even without needing to go see him.
(Contrast to BB!Clans, whose Clerics are the KEEPERS of holy knowledge, and it is a sin to interpret StarClan's will on your own)
Yet, there are downsides. She can see ostracised cats who skirt at the edges of the Ward, especially the descendants of a particular group (called Flicks) that she learns once tried to invade the River Ward.
Though they welcome travellers and have a positive view of Clan cats as "family," she learns that they freeze out those who break taboo. Even for smaller offenses-- social faux pas and personal disputes have caused rifts within the Ward.
And the personal omen interpretation means that two cats can try and justify their feelings with religious commands, leveraging any "soothsayer" (particularly religious cats) connections they have like a social pissing match, unless they're both willing to get dragged to Stoneteller.
From all this, Frostpaw learns that she CAN connect to Riverstar and her ancestors, even if she can't speak to them... and that she must LISTEN. Not allow herself to twist her ancestor's words.
And all the Wards are connected, by the source of a river. Suddenly she answers her question.
"How could the world be big enough to contain a being like Riverstar?" Because water isn't all in one place. It's everywhere. It pools where it can and flows where it cannot.
And yet-- a single people is connected by its water. Three wards, one River. Five Clans, one Lake... three siblings, one belly.
Her heart aches thinking about Curlfeather.
She thinks of when quarreling Tribemates are brought to Stoneteller to arbitrate, and be taught the truth. Brought up the river, to its source at the waterfall.
That has to be it! The source, the BEGINNING.
Stop 2 would be WarriorClan as she heads south, but I'm not sure what they'd teach her yet lmao. Monkeystar says "Hi! Do you want to learn how to play a kazoo"
STOP 3... I'd want to rename the Park Cats. Maybe the New Park cats.
(evil brain: "Neopark. Make terrible petsite joke. Be reincarnated as a lotus flower)
There would also be a BIG recap of Ancient Park culture, and the River Kingdom. Frostpaw knows they had KINGS.
And a lot of aspects that modern Clan cats have-- ceremonial sparring, mentors and apprentices, the Law of the Deputy... those came out of the River Kingdom, before its collapse in the Code Era.
But these cats are NOTHING like the glorious tales of a Kingdom warrior. In fact... this is THE park!
THE park that was destroyed, which King Arc-of-Park lead his people away from. How could it have been ruined if it's still here?
(Reality: the Park was shrunk and landscaped. It was destroyed in that time to the perspective of cats. Maybe she'll have some visions of the past through meditation...)
But the survivors, and those who chose not to follow their King... they remained. And they continue to thrive.
Like canon, have them teach her the ability to meditate. Unlike Tribe cats, meditation is about SIGNS, not OMENS. Omens are physical. Signs are psychic.
(Also i like Bee so im probably gonna keep him as Frosty's yoga coach)
She sees Riverstar a few times, has details of Curlfeather's scheme revealed to her in enough chunks to piece together,
but is eventually bowled over when her best, most productive meditation yet... results in a black shadow.
He has a shining pearlstone adorning his head, and deep, wet pools for eyes. Very few other features can be made out, besides his paw, which is shockingly normal compared to his wraith-like body.
Somehow, Frostpaw understands she is looking at a Patron. But she doesn't know who he is until he tells her, he is King Arc-of-Park.
Though remembered, he is not invoked often. The details of his appearance are lost. All that remains of him is his paw-- carried on in a few expressions and the -paw suffix. The one which Frostpaw herself currently bears.
Since Riverstar, his beloved son, so rarely speaks in straightforward terms, he has come to give Frostpaw her answers.
But before she speaks, trembling with desire for finally FINALLY getting the truth, almost frozen by the sheer volume of things she needs to know, he stops and tells her,
"You have earned the truth, Frostpaw. Be not afraid to ask for what you are owed-- but we only have time for three questions, and I shall ask three in turn."
Question 1: "What did you need me to learn?"
"Many things. How to find your own answers. The perspective of the thousand eyes you've met. The wisdom that only a pilgrimage can bestow. I, too, was no leader before I brought my people up the river, and now you too must save RiverClan. Have you learned what we sought to teach?"
She feels unsure... "I don't think I can know if I have, until I go home."
Even though he has no mouth, she can hear his smile, "That is a yes, child."
Question 2: "What am I learning about RiverClan and its history, if these New Park cats are nothing like my Kingdom ancestors?"
He hums, "You have come to the source of the river, and are vexxed to not find the water that is already swirling downstream? No cat stands in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and they are not the same cat. Are my people gone, Frostpaw, or do they live on?"
Stunned, her jaw hangs open ever so slightly. She thought she knew the answer right away, but his simple question becomes a riddle on her tongue.
He tells her not to worry. She does not need to answer his questions immediately, as they're running out of time. Ask your last.
Question 3: "...did my mom love me?"
IMMEDIATE, "she did. Child of my distant blood, she loved you like a king loves his prince. Ferociously, ambitiously... selfishly."
He cradles her face in his one, massive, silk-soft paw, like he's reaching out of the shadows, across time itself. His last question, "She put you in a terrible position, didn't she?"
A lifetime's worth of love and agony bubbles out of the kid, "SHE DID. She DID and I never did ANYTHING to deserve this, I did everything she told me, and I just wanted to make her happy, and... and i miss my mom."
When she returns from her trance, she's crying.
But her companions are here to help her unpack all of what she just learned.
Will probably end up letting her recruit a little DND party lmao... maybe one cat from each pit stop. Heartstar shouldn't be the only girlie who's allowed to get expansion packs.
Make a little found family here that Frostpaw returns home with.
RE: NOT. CONFIRMED YET. NONE of this is BB canon yet. Just thoughts I need to get down.
#better bones au#bone babble#BB!ASC#I hope i can have night join river in the end tbh#Honestly i feel like it works best if he burned his bridge in thunder several times over#And realizes he really won't be happy there and he feels like the best thing to do is start new#Like have a bittersweet feeling where he's still loved and loves them. But with time they all see it was a wise and honest choice#Budding theme here could be Sometimes Love Is Not Enough#Something about how sometimes you need to change your environment. Either by leaving it or working on it#And a bad environment for one person is a good one for another#BUT AGAIN gotta see where everyone ends up

What are the dadsâ favorite bonding activities with their kids? đĽş
hello friend!!
Price: I like to imagine Price's girls are engaged in all sorts of extracurricular activities from ballet to the school play. I think his favorite bonding activity with them would be taking them out to eat after a recital or a performance. Just his little ladies and some good old greasy spoon diner food: what else could a man want? And you know that when the girls grow up, those nights are going to be some of their fondest childhood memories.
Ghost: Caden is a parallel play kind of kid. He's quietly doing his little crayon drawings next to Simon watching a tv show. I could also see them bonding when Simon takes Caden out to run errands with him, groceries and stuff. Caden gets a bit of socialization, and Simon is there if he gets overwhelmed and needs a bit of comfort. It really brings them together: the kid knows that no matter how distant his dad can be, he can always rely on Simon.
Soap: JOCK ALERT. His favorite bonding activity is taking his kids to the park. Impromptu soccer games, roleplaying on the playground equipment, buying them ice cream on a hot summer day. When Elodie's older, she stops going, preferring to hang out with friends or do her own thing. But I can see wayyyy in the future when she's an adult, she'll have a lot of nostalgia for those days and will love going on walks with her dad.
Gaz: Kyle is a planned activities kind of man, a very take the kids to Disney World and make lifetime memories sorta guy. Every summer the family gets an airbnb by the lake, and every winter they're off at a ski lodge. (Here's to that delicious, delicious dual income household.) Violet and Elliott are always the kids blowing into the first day of class full of stories about all the fun stuff they got up to over the summer.
KĂśnig: Dress-up. Come on, you knew this was coming. He's so girldad. Ava can't keep her hands out of her dad's luscious locks, and loves making him paper crowns because of his callsign (he definitely speaks German with her at home so she knows what it means). He also buys Ava those big plastic playsets that are a grocery checkout or a little kitchen and roleplays little scenarios with her. Ava's a militant chef, by the way. She would make a great line cook.
Horangi: Concerts with his daughter, Ryujin. Probably a few raves, as well. Ryujin's a punk rock and indie scene kinda gal, but she'll listen to anything, and has a few favorite kpop groups whose concerts she's dragged Hong-jin to. He's a diehard Once (fan of the girl group Twice) himself. They've also definitely gotten a few tattoos/piercings together, which would be an odd thing to do with your dad if Ryujin's dad were not so cool.
Keegan: Same as Johnny, except instead of taking his kids to safe parks and soccer fields, he takes them into the woods. Camping, fishing, teaching them a bunch of useful skills. It's such a "things your divorced dad does with you when he doesn't know what else to do for the weekend you're staying with him" activity, but Jason and Cecelia have never had someone do those things with them before, so they're having a good time. Other than that, laser tag and airsoft is a big one. Keegan was hesitant to get them into stuff like that, but they've always been curious about his military career and things just sort of escalated from there. I saw this tiktok of a cosplayer in a Logan mask captioned "when you're playing airsoft with your 15-year spec ops dad" and it's the cosplayer plastering themselves against a wall in terror: that's Keegan's kids. He's not going to hold back when he plays, and they don't want him to.

ok so. i know kutner isn't one of the characters giving you brainworms the same way the og fellows do but you have good takes on the show in general and so i must get your take on this:
sometimes in discussions about how kutner's death affected the show, people will say something along the lines of "if kutner hadn't died, he would've been the next head of diagnostics rather than chase" because of his similar ways of thinking/tendencies for risk taking. do you think that'd be possible and if so how do you think it'd play out?
I've actually thought about this, because I've also seen those takes. And I don't want to give a cop-out answer, but it's really hard to say, because we get way, way more of Chase â 6 years on the team that we see, two in the OR, plus another pre-series â versus Kutner, who has something like 1.5 considering the weirdness of early S4. To completely generalize, I think Chase probably is a better doctor overall than Kutner (Kutner is more creative/"brilliant," Chase is more of an all-rounder), but it's also an unfair comparison â Chase is older and more experienced â and a completely meaningless one.
Kutner is undoubtedly talented and clever and has that Creative Spark in drove; he also does come off as kind of⌠inexperienced? There's a running joke that he's sort of a liability; he's a fast learner and develops quickly as a doctor, but he also very much has his weaknesses: he's very friendly, but he doesn't have a great bedside manner (or filter); he has a couple non-defibrillator moments that show he's not great at physical procedures, he's sometimes a bit careless⌠I don't want to make it sound like he's a bad doctor, because he isn't, but his thing is Creativity and Ideas, right? He comes off as generally inexperienced. He has room to grow. I don't think he would have made a great head of diagnostics as we saw him, because he doesn't have leadership skills, struggles with social skills at times, and is still very much learning how to be a doctor. These are all things Kutner definitely could have gotten better at and grown past, but we never got to see too much of that growth, which makes guessing at his development difficult. He's just⌠young, you know?
House the show (and House the person) also has a pretty strong thesis along the lines of suffering makes you a better doctor, cynicism makes you a better doctor. We see it time and again with Cameron in early seasons, with her slow turn away from idealism being treated as a positive; we see it with Chase, and how he almost literally physically becomes House in S8. The choice the show presents is become cynical and Houselike, or leave. This makes me think that had Kutner stuck around, he would have had to face a similar crossroads: either lose his sunny idealism (and inexperience), or get out. It's easy for me to picture him as a great diagnostician; it's hard for me to picture him as taking over House's department, because the show pretty clearly equates that (with Chase and Foreman) with being like House.
I can see Kutner choosing to leave and start his own diagnostics department elsewhere because he doesn't want to lose his enjoyment and love of "the game." I can't as easily see him becoming "like House" in the way the show posits is necessary for the job. Or anyway, I don't want to imagine him that way, because Kutner's excitement and enthusiasm are such cornerstones of his character and it would be a shame to lose it. Chase starts the series as a similar (if less intense) version of the same character, and look how worn down he gets. He murders a guy!
The thing is, I don't think Chase was the natural heir to the throne either. I can see why people say "if Chase, then Kutner," as they serve similar roles on the team, but that's very much forgetting that for the first half of the series (Epic Fail seems to be the end point), Foreman was presented as the natural successor to House, and Foreman was treated as House's protege. Creativity and brilliance are part of it, but ruthless, apathetic genius was considered more important by the show, and Kutner doesn't have too much of the former traits (and Chase had to grow into his apathy and lose his morals over time). Nor is inheriting Diagnostics a good thing.
This is something that bugs me about these discussions on who would have or should have or deserved to take over Diagnostics: it's not a good thing. The show is fairly explicit about this. This isn't â IDK, Game of Thrones (rant for another day, asoiaf is also very much about how wanting to rule is a bad thing), this isn't a contest for who gets to "win" and be House. House doesn't want to be House. Chase in Diagnostics in the final episode isn't framed as a triumph. He looks terrified. It is a tragedy. He's become a lonely and cynical person! Hurray! I'd much rather Kutner left and found his own practice and stayed happy than that.

Assigning some of my favorite haikyuu boys fanfiction tropes >
â Atsumu - idiots to lovers
Look me in the eye and tell me atsumu wouldn't be the kind of guy to not understand why he feels a certain way towards you, you can't! His whole life he's had medicore social skills, and I hc that he's never really dated anyone before, so romantic relationships are an untouched territory to him. It's gonna take him a few reality checks from osamu to realize he likes anyone, even better if the person he likes is just as clueless.
â Osamu - mentor who's too attractive for his own good
Not in a professional setting. More in a "my friend said you could help me learn this recipe, can you pleaseee teach me" way. And he reluctantly agrees and he looks fine as hell cooking that you're barely learning how to make the actual meal. Better yet? "I don't know how to do this" "oh let me help you" And then he comes up behind you to guide you better.. chest against your back and everything (you're not learning anything)
â KĹshi - childhood friends to lovers
Everyone knows you're childhood friends and everyone knows there must be something between you. But neither of you act on it until one day you're asked out by someone and sugawara finally realizes "if I don't act quickly I will lose them" so he shows up to your house dramatic as hell in the rain and kisses you until you stop considering any other guy at all
â Tooru - rivals/enemies to lovers
You can't look at a guy who's this competitive, cocky, and petty, and not think he'd make a perfect rival love interest. Not only would he drive his opponent to do better and discover crazy things themselves (make them have a very dramatic realization moment), but the tension after either of them win is insane. He's like "I'll get you next time, be ready." And they're like "yeah sure pretty boy" and people have to stop and stare. The sexual tension is crazy
â Kiyoomi - reluctant friends to lovers
He doesn't want anything to do with them. At least for the first few times they meet. They follow him around like a lost puppy, looking for something or asking for instructions. And he's very cold to them on purpose, hoping they'd just leave him alone once he answers their questions. But then they start waving at him when they're standing with their friends, bringing him snacks he didn't ask for, speedwalking to catch up with him before he leaves, and he seriously has to reconsider why someone he saw as a pest is slowly growing to become a source of great comfort to him.
â Issei - best friends to lovers
It's essential to imagine being close friends with all of seijoh 4 and being especially close with issei to fully enjoy this. Since you're used to oikawa flirting with you here and there, and makki + issei himself always teasing you, it's not easy to tell when exactly his flirtations cross the line between platonic and romantic. No one is surprised when you start dating, actually they probably had a bet going on about it, and not much changes in your dynamic other than the fact that you and mattsun now kiss instead of joking about it.

do you think varg and marie genuinely believe that this is the best for their kids?
In a way, yes.
I believe they are good-intended parents (especially her, but even Varg because it's obvious that he doesn't want to repeat history and be like his own father was towards him. I don't think at all that he gets so low to physically punish his children) but the methods that they use to raise them are not as great as they make them seem.
I don't have anything against leaving society (it is trash after all), and I don't have anything against raising your children in the countryside. On the contrary, I believe it's far more beneficial for them and their stress level to live somewhere rural, surrounded by nature, having new lands to explore and be in touch with the wildlife. A simpler life is always a happier one.
But most people who live rural are part of a community, they get to know new people, talk with others, develop their communication and social skills, etc. Both Varg and Marie grew up in communities and they have a referential point about now one should behave in society, but their children don't have any. They don't know what society is.
Making a lot of children so they won't get bored for not having friends to play with is not a healthy mentality. Those kids will grow up, mature, start wondering about love and romance. How can you fantasize about getting a girlfriend/ boyfriend when all you have as a referential point regarding the interaction with opposite sex is just your own parents and other siblings? That's right, in this care you can't imagine new things the right way. You are overly dependent on your parents, you are socially anxious because you have no substantial contact with the outside world, you live in a bubble.
What Varg and Marie taught them is to be afraid of strangers and of the unknown, to be paranoid of everyone's intentions and to stay away.
Abuse it's not just physical. If those children are isolated from experiencing real life, this is called abuse.
The possibility of them developing anxious and dependent personalities is very real, but neither one of their parents seem to be aware of that, and this is sad.
You might wonder how Varg managed to corrupt Marie into believing that this is the best that they could offer to their children. It's an 'us against the world' mentality. They think like 'We need to stick together' to confront the danger of a hostile outside world. It's a cult-like setting.
The narcissist creates in their partners what is known as 'mass psychogenic illness'. Marie became united, merged and fused with Varg, fighting with him against the real and imaginary 'threats' that Varg perceives over and over again. They're literally like a single organism with two heads.
Narcissists come across as innocent, pure at heart and infantile when they find their 'favourite person' (just like borderlines), and then they use their partner's maternal instincts to manipulate them. This is also why it is so hard to break up with a narcissist. It's like you're a mother abandoning your child, your broken, hurt, bleeding child. So, in the hypothesis that Varg would somehow lose interest in Marie, she would feel pressed to fight for the relationship like a mother would for their child (their multiple children). This is how the shared fantasy works. It's a co-infantilization process.
Those children live in nature, away from pollution and this is great, but the fact that they're forbidden/ restricted to be part of a community is very, very unhealthy. We are social creatures. We need to belong and children need to belong more than adults do. It's mandatory for their development process. I can't stress that enough.
I have no doubt that those kids love their parents, like all kids do. They are their everything. Marie is calm, gentle and patient. There's no such thing as a perfect mother. There's only a 'good enough' mother and a 'dead mother'. Marie could've been a much better mother had she met a sane partner instead of Varg.
Varg seems emotionally absent as a father. Maybe he plays with them from time to time, maybe he learned in years after having kid after kid that you need to be more patient and more involved in the household, but I doubt that. He teaches them skills, he is interested and proud of them only when they do something that he agrees with. But he wouldn't support them if they deviated from his trajectory. For example: someone asked him if his son thought about learning to play guitar, and Varg's response was 'Nah, I hope he never gets into that'.
It's a very delicate subject. We'll live and see how things go.

I think you are the most qualified person to ask this question since you write the tieflings so well: what Olympic sport would the tiefs complete in?
High praise indeed, Anon! Thank you so much!
Going through the list of events, I'm going to go through the adult Tieflings we see in the Grove. I'm also sticking to the summer events.
Zevlor is, of course, Equestrian, and more specifically eventing (which, I discovered, is basically a triathlon). Tilses would also take place in Equestrian, but she'd be focused on jumping. If the Hellriders aren't taking place in the equestrian events, it's a crime. Nuff said.
Rolan would be a swimmer. I think he'd would find swimming for exercise cathartic--the water resistance, the controlled breathing, engaging all your muscle groups to move through the water.
Lia would be a rower for a similar reason, engaging all the upper body muscles. I think she would do really well with a team, as well, and find a lot of fulfillment in it. Cal, in perhaps a surprising choice, would take part in gymnastics. His high strength score lends itself to strength based events. Imagine Cal taking on the pommel horse or the rings, holy shit.
Dammon, surprising absolutely no one, would take part in the hammer throw. But, before I remembered that existed, I also figured he would do well with shot put. Short bursts of power suit him.
Along a similar vein, Alfira would really excel at rhythm gymnastics as a form of artistic expression. Lakrissa, on the other hand, is a natural for archery, and in a modern AU would absolutely be that person doing trick shots on TikTok.
In canon, we know Bex is a great runner and that she was able to outrun the cultists. Thus, I can see her taking part in the sprinting events. Danis, meanwhile, I think would get the most enjoyment out of golf out of any of the events available. Outside of competition, I think he'd like the social aspect of it.
Komira is absolutely a Taekwondo girl--she was ready to throw down with the druids and strikes me as the type who wouldn't hesitate to fight for what she believes in. Locke's temperament, in contrast, reminds me more of a distance runner. He's much calmer than his wife.
So I debated between Asharak and Guex whom I thought would be a better fit for fencing--we see Asharak training the kids in fighting, and Guex using Main Hand Attack against Makeshift Training Dummy. Ultimately, I felt Asharak's temperament was a lot better for it and, frankly, that he would do well enough to compete on an Olympic level. Guex's event? Javelin Throw. We see him use potentially any weapon you sell Dammon against the Training Dummy if you defeat the druids (off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who uses a javelin canonically otherwise minus maybe Cal). But I also think he'd like the challenge and feeling powerful without having to get into close quarters.
If we've talked Tiefling headcanon, you'll know I carry a headcanon that Okta is/was a monk and actively adventured until her pregnancy. Thus, she's a natural fit for Judo. Ikaron, too, does a physical event that requires a lot of control and precision: Boxing. Like Rolan with swimming, I think he'd find it cathartic.
Cerys would take part in the modern pentathlon. We don't know much about her backstory from the game besides her being a scout and the third leader option if both Zevlor and Asharak are killed in Act 1. Thus, IMO, she has to be extremely impressive in her own right. The pentathlon presently includes fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, laser pistol shooting, and distance running.
Zorru and Yul are other canonical scouts. We know Zorru was able to make it Baldur's Gate presumably by himself, which means not only is he a good runner, but he has to be skilled at dodging obstacles, too. He's a natural choice for hurdles. Yul, we don't know enough about, but for the endurance required for scouting, let's slot him into cycling.
Kaldani and Rikka get to be our beach volleyball pair! I really wanted a duo that's seen a lot together in game, and they seem to get along well. I can see them working amazingly well at a team and being unafraid to work hard to win.
Damays and Nymessa were a little hard for me--I very much wanted Nymessa to be in breakdancing just to make Damays's head explode (at least the way I characterize them). But, in the end, I thought pole vault would be a good fit for her. Damays seems a fit for discus throwing.
Kanon strikes me as someone who would be really good at diving. We know he was a tailor in Elturel, and I think he'd appreciate the precision and artistry. Arka and Memnos? They get to be our tennis duos team. I think they'd balance each other well in the sport.
Pandirna absolutely has to be in weightlifting, all things considered. Let's hope she doesn't get in trouble for doping with Ethel's potions... Toron I think would be wrestling because wrestling cattle or something. Nadira would be sport climbing, because that seems to fit in well with her sneaking around devils and the like. (I can't remember at the moment how much of that is canon and how much of it was headcanon we came up with on the camp server.)
Eramis and Elegis I slotted into long jump and high jump respectively. At the time of writing this, this is based off vibes from each of them rather than anything in game that lent itself to this. Finally, Xeph, Rechel, and Amek get to be our synchronized swimmers, because we gotta have synchronized swimmers, and also I don't know where else to put them.
Hope you enjoyed the post!

x(.)com/jwoosworld/status/1866499015862526273?t=8ciz9eG8A7xH0Eu4-UykFw&s=19 How can he does all of this? Along with TMWL rehearsal, the momentum practice, SMtown practice, studying Korean history, preparing for 2nd album, and a bunch of filming for variety show contents. His time management skill is insane

I would like to know as well. I fear, he has a Time-turner in his possession.
Great news, though. And I'm not even surprised, heh. Who if not Doyoung?.. I knew Doyoung would eventually secretly finish school (he can't go to a Uni without a high school diploma), but never imagined a special major like musical theatre.
So, Do and Woo both attended and participated in the graduation performance, their classmates are posting pictures now.




First of all, what this OP said.
One of the reasons people dream of being famous or becoming this or that and never achieving it is that they don't really want that. Their brain is happy just sitting on a sofa with beer in hand and a tv in front. A burrow to hide, a blanket to keep warm, food in the stomack, entertainment - what else to want? All basic needs are covered. Even sex is substituted with wifus/husbandos for most.
Those people who desperately want something have the will to do it by all means. Even if it means practicing choreos till 5 a.m. and going to school afterwards (Jae's case) or learning 2 new languages (Ten's case). Read about explorers of the past deciding to go and freeze to death in pursue of the dream to be the first in human history to reach the North or the South pole.
Doyoung is also an exeption to the rule. He is a workaholic and needs to do as much as possible, he is hungry for more achievements. He has both mental energy for that and will to push himself. Maybe sometimes to unhealthy lengths, but so far he seems to balance it well and shows improvement on the mental front actually. He also has great memory, which allows him to quickly learn (in shorter time and on the go, with less concentration) and memorise lots of faces (social connections). Do evidently also is very good at shifting his focus, doing lots of tasks in parallel (the way we saw him thinking over his solo album direction during commute). Others would be overwhelmed, it requires a trained brain.
Doyoung is assisted with the time management a lot by the agency. He doesn't need to cook, to plan the route, to order tickets and work on visas, to submit documents, to wait at the bus stops, even to choose clothes. He goes from place to place in the most convenient manner, in a personal van or first class flights. All of this both saves him time (he can learn Japanese words or a musical script in the van, for example, he is not the one driving) and mental energy (he is not making mini-choices, everyday decisions (the act of choosing eats up mental energy a lot), as well as he is not fighting "I don't want to" as much).
Doyoung also gets rewarded on a regular basis. He is given his energy back, he gets confirmation that he is moving in the right direction, that the effort is worth it, the goal is within his reach.
Lastly. Doyoung smartly unites a lot of things. For example, this musical theatre programme thing. Surely, him doing Marie gave him points on multiple subjects without attending any lectures or practices in the school. Maybe the public history exam he took way back also was counted. He will get a diploma that will both work for him as a mucial actor and for any future Uni he will go into.
He wanted to strengthen his friendship with Johnathan. He is doing it while shooting programmes (MukChu and I live alone). He went to Japan for a tv-programme, visited Disney land to unwind a bit, and did a vlog at the same time.
Still, as I said already, he is an exeption. Very few people are capable of pushing themselves this much and being able to shift from one task to a very different one (school->BA duties->musical->concert practice->history channel->meeting withJeno->2nd album) so productively.
That's why we stan!

Previous chapter - Next chapter
Masterlist
Weeks passed and your life seemed like it got better with each day. The sadness from your last breakup faded away slowly but surely. You had Mingyu now, and youâve been spending time together whenever he could. It was the same story all over again with his busy schedule, dating an idol, missing him, feeling lonely at night.
Your feelings for him started to flourish and you felt closer and closer. It just felt comfortable, felt right. The trust was there already, you knew he would do anything for you. He even dropped his friendship with Jungkook for you, because he felt you were being played.
How did you feel dating one of the most wanted men in the country? Hell, you were ecstatic. He would bring you flowers or gifts every time you would see each other, he would cook for you, spoil you in all ways, make plans for the future, and he was just such a happy positive person.
I mean, was this dating? Were you a couple? You never talked about that, you just kept seeing each other and having amazing sex. But you were falling in love with him and you felt loved.
He would always insist that you went to all his concerts, he had a thing for fucking you after. So he was desperate to fly you wherever he was touring, find you a room in the exact hotel he was staying at. He was always sneaking out of his room at night and come to your room to fuck you dumb. And you loved it.
Today was one of those days when you would get at the hotel after the concert and you would wait for him in your room. But in stead of having dinner only the two of you, he came to pick you up and go to the hotelâs restaurant which was pretty empty. Only the members were there and a part of the staff. You felt shy, it was the first time when he would bring you to a gathering while being his gf.
You both sat at the table where most of the members were, you all greeted each other. They seemed pretty shocked to see you there, so you had to ask Mingyu if they knew about your relationship. He just nodded and changed the subject really fast.
Was really late in the night, around 2 AM when they decided to move to a room and they chose Dinoâs room. They dragged you along with them, promising there will be fun games. And to be honest, you always wanted to play mafia with them, and itâs the game you suggested.
At this point, you felt a bit more comfortable around them, plus you had some to drink so you felt pretty social. DK was being very loud, as usual, just singing when you least expected. Dino and Mingyu seemed pretty drunk but at the same time they can drink a lot, till the morning and still be able to walk. Joshua and Seungkwan were drunk too, but they were quiet. Seungcheol kept on being clingy with the members, while Hoshi was fucked, face red, holding DKâs hand and kissing it. The others were pretty chill, maybe just tipsy.
Mafia started and you knew it will get so funny that youâll die laughing. You were chosen as a mafia, along with Cheol and Hoshi, but you were very confident in your acting skills. You had a great poker face too.
The first round was just chaos. You tried to be quiet and pretend to observe to see whoâs acting weird enough to point them as mafia. Then all of the sudden, Hoshi gets up and points at you.
Hoshi: You!!! You are a mafia, arenât you?
You were flabbergasted. LikeâŚhe was supposed to be in your team. Did the idiot forget you were both mafia?
Y/N: Me? Why me?
Hoshi: I think you have been really quiet, and you knowâŚthe quiet ones end up being the mafia.
Y/N: That makes no sense, I am quiet all the time.
Seungcheol: Thatâs right, sheâs just a quiet person. What do you expect her to do, jump on chairs?
Cheol was trying to put some sense into Hoshi and keep me in the game. And for the moment it worked, you thought he remembered that we were on the same team.
Y/N: But you know whatâs the good thing about being quiet? You can observe others behavior. And I think I know who the mafia is.
Mingyu: Who? Who?
Y/N: Wonwoo has been incredibly quiet, donât you think?
Everyone jumped in agreement, he was really quiet tonight. So when all had to chose someone to kill, Wonwoo was the groupâs choice. But of course he was just a villager. You pretended to act shocked and sad about it. Then the mafias had to decide who to kill and the three of you raised your heads. Cheol kept making faces at Hoshi for coming after you and decided to take DK out.
For round 2, it seemed that a little group formed and Jeonghan was very serious about Hoshi being the mafia. He even convinced others to chose the same. You and Cheol tried to put it on someone else, but didnât work, everyone was just following Jeonghan.
Hoshi: Ok, I am the mafia. And! I will tell you another mafia if you keep me in the game.
Everyone was screaming, laughing, on the floor. You just knew he will pick you. Cheol went to Hoshi to pull on his shirt and ask him if heâs really going to say it, laughing to mask the fact that he was also a mafia.
Hoshi: Y/N! sheâs the mafia!
You tried to convince them that he was trying to take a villager out and not to trust him, but in the end they chose to take you out and keep him.
Seungkwan: Wait a minute! Y/N, if you tell us whoâs the third mafia, we will let you live.
Y/N: Iâm not some traitor like others.
You were giving the stinky eye to Hosi. God, you could not stand hm at this point. What the hell was his problem? So they took you out and you went to sit next to Wonwoo while they were cheering for taking a mafia out. Mingyu gave you a pouty face and you went to whisper in his ear that you will go to your room to sleep. You wished everyone good night and left.
You were fuming. Not because of a silly game, but because Hoshi did it intentionally. You knew it, it was so obvious he didnât like you. Next time, you decided to stick up for yourself in front of him and stop being such a plant.
A shower was the best idea to calm down, so you turned the hot water on and got naked. After not even 5 minutes, as you were washing yourself, you felt someone grabbing your waist from behind. That made you jump and push him back, but he was too strong for you. After one second, you thought it must be Mingyu, since he had the second card to your room.
Mingyu: I dropped the game and came right away.
Y/N: Only because you are horny and want to get your dick wet.
Mingyu: And because I like you.
You were already angry because of stupid Hoshi, so you thought it was the perfect moment to ask Mingyu what was going on between you two. So you pushed yourself and turned to him.
Y/N: Gyu, why do you like me? You like me as a friend, as a fuckbuddy, as a gf? What do you want from me? I think we need to talk about this. I need to know what I am to you.
He was a little surprised about the questions, but he knew that one of these days you will need to talk about your relationship.
Mingyu: I like you as a person, friend, fuckbuddy and gf, all together. I mean, we are together, arenât we? I have only been seeing you, no one else.
Y/N: Mingyu, I have feelings for you and I really donât want to play games. I had my heart broken already so many times, and the last time you were there. You know how much it hurt, you saw me at my worst. If youâre not going to be exclusive with me, tell me now and letâs end this.
Mingyu: Where is this coming from? Baby, I promise I have been seeing only you these weeks since our first night together, and I plan to keep it that way. Youâre my girl and I love you.
At that point, all the frustration you were keeping inside just made you cry. You hugged him and cried in the shower. He made sure to help you wash, dry you and put you into bed. Then he kept you close into his arms and gave you the sweetest kisses.
Mingyu: Please donât be sad, I am not going anywhere. I am yours, as you are mine.
And his words came out in such a tender voice that made you melt and you just wanted him more. So you grabbed his ridiculously handsome face and kissed him passionately, like there was no tomorrow. Your hands moving all over his body wish rush. Under his t-shirt, under his shorts. You loved how receptive he was to you, how fast he would get hard for you.
Y/N: Gyu. I need you. Need to feel you now.
He pulled you on top of him and pulled his shorts down. The tip of his cock was right on your entrance, rubbing slowly.
Mingyu: Shit, youâre wet already. All for me. Ride me baby. Ride my cock, use it, cum on it.
His hands were holding your waist and he was helping you sink down on his length, pushing slightly. You were a hot mess, moaning his name on repeat, feeling every inch of him going deeper. You wanted to see him, watch his beautiful face react to you fucking him, so you lifted yourself off his chest and put your hands on his thighs, leaning a bit back.
He could see the show, how his cock was going in and out of your pussy and how wet you were. your hips were moving slowly over him, in circles, trying to make yourself cum. his hands went to your ass, squeezing it hard, as his high was approaching fast.
Y/N: God, right there, like that.
Mingyu: You look so beautiful right now and I donât think Iâll be able to keep it much longer.
Y/N: Want me to cum on your cock, baby? Tell me!
Mingyu: Ahhh, youâre so bad. You take me so good, so good for me. Cum on my cock, baby!
Y/N: Tell me how much you want it.
Mingyu: Pleaseee! Please, princess, I wanna feel you clench around me.
Y/N: Then watch me cum all over that dick.
You kept rotating your hips over his lap, faster, sinking into him deeper and you came so hard that you couldnât keep your eyes open. Your fingers were grasping on his skin so tight. Your orgasms kept on washing over you, the intensity made you lean over his chest, your hands around his neck, squeezing it tight.
Somehow, that action made his cock twitch inside you and you felt him spill his cum deep and hard. He was a moaning mess too, so loud when he came. But you didnât stop. Oh no, you kept riding him, still clenching the fuck out of his cock.
Mingyu: Baby, please.
Y/N: Please, what?
Mingyu: So sensitive, I canâtâŚ
Y/N: I know you can fill me up again.
Your hands were more rough on his neck right now. And he filled you with his seed once again, in seconds.
Mingyu: Ohh shit! Fuck! So good!
Both of you were spent and stopped from moving. But you were into a slow passionate kiss now.
Y/N: I didnât know you were into being choked?
Mingyu: Me either, but I really loved it.
After you showered and got back into bed to sleep, you remembered he told you he loved you earlier that night when he came back to your room. And you needed to let him know that you feel the same, so knowing he was not asleep yet, you got close to his ear and whispered you loved him too.
Mingyu: I know.
And he gave you a sweet kiss.
Now it was easier, knowing exactly where you two stand. Hana was happy for you. So happy that she would keep you posted with all the gossip about your new bf. There were a lot of rumors about him and other female idols, you just brushed it off. You knew how the media in Korea was.
Hana: You know...I think Mingyu is more handsome than Jungkook. And heâs taller.
Y/N: Ugh, donât remind me of that snake. Iâm so glad I got him out of my system.
Hana: Since your man is out of the country, do you wanna maybe do something tonight after work?
Y/N: On a week day?
Hana: Yeah, why not? Maybe dinner and then a drink or two at a fancy bar. A friend of mine opened one last week and he keeps begging me to go. Whatâs wrong, your boy doesnât let you go out without him now?
Y/N: You know heâs not jealous like that. But ok, if you want to go out, I guess we can stop by your friendâs bar. And I really crave some steak today.
After you left work later that day, you made a stop to her house, then yours, to change into something less boring. You couldnât wait to put some food in your belly.
The restaurant you chose was packed and you should have been used to it by now. You waited for a table for about 10 minutes, then you finally sat down and ordered.
Y/N: I feel like eating everything on this menu, as long as itâs not to spicy.
Hana: Should we get a bottle of soju for warming up for later?
Y/N: Ok, letâs. This reminds me of the times when I was back home, going out with my friends. We would hang out at oneâs house and drink before going out to the club. I miss them.
You left the restaurant a little tipsy. You are just not that strong with alcohol. Arriving into the bar Hana talked about, you noticed a big crowd outside, waiting to be let in.
Hanaâs friend came outside to let us in, before all those who were waiting. That felt good, not gonna lie. The music inside was not THAT loud, was just perfect to hear each other if you talked close. But you liked the interior and the vibe. Looked like rich people went there and it smelled nice too.
You were introduced to Hanaâs friend and his friends. One of them was a guy who seemed European, but you were not sure. After the place got a little more crowded and you had a glass already, you were in the mood to dance. Just hoping there were no creepy dudes there to come and grope you.
You and Hana were in your own world, having dun dancing next to each other and you see the European guy coming to your direction. It was nice to see a face from close to home, but you were not in the mood to chat to guys. When youâre out dancing, you just want to be left alone.
But this guy started to talk and talk. And youâre not the type to smile politely if they keep on talking. You just kept a straight face and eventually told him the music is to loud and you canât hear him. Then he suggested to go outside and you declined his offer, telling him you just want to dance with your friend.
Somehow, that irritated him and he grabbed your wrist dragged you toward the exit. After a few steps, you were close to fall from the force this jerk was pulling you and your face ran right into his back. He stopped, he was not walking anymore. You took this chance to yank your hand from his and yell at him and kick him in the balls.
His hand was tight on your wrist still and he was not turning to you as you were screaming at him to let you go. Then you realized he was talking to someone. This bitch. You thought. But when you walk in front of him, you stop. Your eyes stare in shock and your mouth drops.
It was fucking Jungkook, coming to save you from another jerk. He saw the scene where the guy wouldnât leave you be and dragged you so he had to do something. Hana was looking for you and she saw you a few meters in front of her so she came after you.
Jungkook: I thought I told you to let her go. I donât want to repeat myself.
Jerk: And who are you, her boyfriend or something?
Jungkook: Yeah, I am. Now hands off my girlfriend!
Jungkook grabbed the guyâs wrist and pulled it off yours. You and Hana were just standing there like a couple of scared goats. What was he doing there? Why was he there? The jerk left quick and left the three of you looking at each other with big eyes.
Hana: And for your information, she has a boyfriend. You wish it were still you, but you screwed up.
Jungkook: Oh, she does?
You kicked Hana in the ribs to stop her from talking, but she kept going. She was too drunk to realize.
Hana: Yeah, Mingyu is much more handsome than you. And taller.
Jungkookâs face dropped. You and Mingyu? He couldnât believe his ears. He didnât keep in touch with Mingyu much, after he went to the army, but this was a lot to take in. He couldnât believe his friend would do this.
Jungkook: Oh. Well, of course heâs your bf now.
Y/N: Whatâs that supposed to mean?
Jungkook: Doesnât matter, maybe you two deserve each other.
Y/N: This coming from someone like you.
You huffed and turned away from him to leave. He grabbed your arm to stop you.
Jungkook: Wait, we need to talk.
Y/N: Iâd rather put a cactus up my ass than talk to you.
You yanked your arm and left with Hana. Got out of the bar and told her you want to go home. She understood the situation and called an uber right away. That was a long and eventful night and you just want to forget about it. Youâre not sure if you should tell Mingyu about it, maybe not. You really donât want to talk about Jungkook again. You donât even want to hear his name again.
Next time you saw Mingyu was after a few days, but just for a couple of hours, because he had a tight schedule. He came to your home, had dinner, sex, and he left. You really missed him. You havenât spent that much time in the last month, maybe just two nights sleeping in the same bed and one dinner out with the 97 crew.
His group was getting ready for the MAMA awards, and they had a big show to do. You understood, his band was becoming really popular all over the world now, and along with that, your bf was becoming more popular among the women. You felt a little jealous at the extra attention from girls that he was getting lately.
The internet was filled with thirst reels and tik toks with him and as much as you enjoyed them too, it pissed you off too. All those little videos of him looking sweetely at female idols made you sick to your stomach. Is he back to his old ways of being a fuckboy and fucking all that moves and has a skirt?
You needed to see with your eyes, so you talked with your friend Hana to go with you to the MAMA event. She was the happiest to hear that, saying to not worry about the tickets, that Jaehyun will get us invitations.
Y/N: But I donât know if I should tell Mingyu that Iâm going.
Hana: If you tell him, you wonât see him act natural around those female idols, wonât you?
Y/N: Youâre right, but I just feel like shit lying to him.
Hana: Itâs not lying, itâs a surprise. You havenât spent much time together lately anyway, act like itâs a surprise as his gf, to go see him and support him.
Y/N: I mean⌠yeah, youâre kind of right I guess.
Hana: Donât worry, ok! Jaehyun will find us seats close enough to them, but as far enough that they canât see us. And after the event, you text him and SURPRISE, I AM HERE!
And thatâs what happened. You went to the event, anxious as fuck. You didnât want him to see you and freak out and get mad at you. He should see you when you want him to see you. You were sat behind them with a few rows and it was perfect. He seemed indeed very friendly with everyone and pretty flirty with the girls.
You hoped it was nothing there, though. You knew he was a big puppy, needing interaction and attention. They ended the show with their performance. Right after all ended you called him. He didnât pick up. Uh oh. What now?
So then you texted him to call you, because itâs urgent. He called after 5 minutes, worried that something happened.
Mingyu: Baby, whatâs wrong?
Y/N: Gyu!! I thought I wonât get ahold of you tonight. I am here.
Mingyu: Where?
Y/N: I came to see you.
Mingyu: Are you pranking me?
Y/N: NO, big dummy. I came to surprise you, since we barely get to see each other.
Mingyu: Awww, babe. But I donât know how much time I have now, because we are flying back to Seoul tonight, after midnight.
Y/N: Oh fuck!
Mingyu: Let me see something and Iâll call you back in 5, ok? Donât go anywhere, we are still backstage.
You waited for his call while outside of the venue.
Mingyu: Y/N? I have 10 minutes before we leave to the hotel and then the airport. Come to the back entrance, a staff member will bring you in.
You went around the building and found the back entrance. It was filled with fans, waiting to see the idols leaving. You struggled to get to the front of the crowd and you waved the staff, you recognized them. They waved back and made room for you to pass the fence.
Inside, the staff walked you to a door and told you to go inside. When you opened it, you realized it was another exit, to a parking space, where you saw cars and Mingyu waving you to get into his quickly. Both you and Hana ran to his car and got in, looking after paparazzi. But it seemed safe.
Mingyu: Donât worry, there is no one but us and staff here. We want to leave in peace, the other exit was to crowded. Everyone else is there.
He pulled you into his lap and gave you a kiss on the lips.
Y/N: I fucking miss you! I had to see you. And congrats for the wins and the performance was the best.
Mingyu: Thank you, princess. And I miss you too, you know I do. But work is keeping me busy, as you can see. I promise I will get a couple of days off soon and spend them just with you. Now give me a kiss, I have to go soon.
Hana: You guys are gross, get a room!
Y/N: I wish!!
You could feel him getting hard inside his pants and that was your cue to get up from his lap and leave, because it was just driving you crazy to have him there and not being able to touch him like you wanted. As you said your goodbyes and got off the car, you noticed Hoshi was leaning on the back. He had a dumb look on his face and you didnât know if you should say hi or not, so you just nodded and kept walking. He didnât react.
After Hoshi got in the car with Mingyu, Hoshi kept quiet for a few minutes, but then he was so confused that he just needed to ask.
Hoshi: SoâŚI was not eavesdropping or anything, just saw you guys were in the car and I waited outside for you to finish, but what the hell, Mingyu?
Mingyuâs face was all red and hot now, he was lost for words. All he could say was âwhatâs wrong, hyung?â
Hoshi: Well, first of all, all this time you have been telling me that Y/N keeps on playing games with you. That you confessed to her and that she pushed you away each time. Second, you told me sheâs with Jungkook still, on and off. And now, I see her in your lap, I see you two kissing, talking sweet to each other like a couple, making plans to spend time together alone. Maybe you can explain. I have been hating this girl for more than a year because she was treating my friend like shit.
Mingyu: Ah, hyung, itâs not like that. Yeah, she has been rejecting me, and she still sees me as a friend.
Hoshi: Are you not fucking?
Mingyu: Uhh, no.
Hoshi: Kim Mingyu, you were kissing. Like..kissing kissing. Donât lie, I can tell when youâre lying.
Mingyu: I promise itâs not like that, we are not fucking. I just let her kiss me sometimes, itâs all I can hope for from her. If I canât have her, at least her kisses are making me happy.
Hoshi: Nah, thatâs weird, dude, wtf. Is she friendzoning you but at the same time, keeping you around just in case Jungkook is getting bored of her? Is that what youâre saying?
Mingyu: You got that right. But please, donât judge me. I am just a guy in love and Iâd do anything to be in her life.
Hoshi: Look, youâre my friend and Iâm telling you this is not ok. You need to sort your shit with her. Now letâs stop talking about her, my head hurts.
The truth was that Hoshi was a very naive guy. He believed anything his dear friend Mingyu would tell him. Why wouldnât he? They were best friends. Hoshi might not be the brightest out of the bunch, but he was not stupid. He was just very loyal and he trusted his friends a lot. How could he trust a girl and not Mingyu?
Mingyu doesnât know why he kept feeding this lie to Hoshi. It all started one night when they were having dinner alone and Hoshi saw Mingyu being very down. So he wanted to know what was wrong. Mingyu just started telling him that there was this girl he loved, but she was with Jungkook, and how she will never leave the golden boy of kpop to be with him. Somehow, Hoshi misheard and thought Mingyu said that she rejected him and Mingyu let it slide. Since then, he thought it would be interesting to keep lying to his friend to justâŚkeep him on his side, maybe?
Still, he knew he could just tell the truth but he felt that the lie just got to big now and he didnât want Hoshi to be upset with him. On the other hand, Hoshi would not go to someone else with this issue because this was something Mingyu shared with him only. That way, Mingyu knew his lies were safe.
But now, Hoshi hated you even more.

Bruh Iâve have this fanfiction idea for awhile in my head and havenât had the motivation to write it and probably never will, but imagine, sparkling Smokescreen. Like I know Sparklings arenât canon in Transformers, but itâs used enough that I like them and write about them. But when Smokescreen crash lands on Earth and stuff, the pod around him makes sort of a hologram for him, that builds around his younger body to make it seem as if heâs older than he is for protection. It makes him stronger, faster, smarter, everything. Idk whoâd program the pod, maybe another cybertronian who doesnât want to see the sparkling hurt and turned into a cold hearted killer, so they program the pod and send him off into deep space, and knowing that theyâll be killed at some point, give Smokescreen their memories so itâll be like Smokescreen was actually a fully grown mech. The Autobots donât suspect anything, as he has adult memories, heâs in an adult body, and despite acting younger, he acts just like Bumblebee, so why would anyone suspect anything? Maybe in a battle, a vehicon, or maybe when Arcee and Smokescreen were fighting Megatron, that one hit with the dark star saber, caused the program that the pod made to fail and turn back into his younger self. So of course, when he wakes up, heâs really confused and can barely use his limbs as in his older body, he never actually grew, so itâs basically a mech trapped in a Sparklings body, except Smokescreen is actually a sparkling but doesnât truly know it as he was too young to remember before the bombing of Praxus, and the crash of the status pod probably rattled a few things in his processor.
So idk how this would go, havenât really thought about it too much but here yâa go :D sparkling Smokescreen, very adorable
ooooooooooo that's a neat idea đđđ
what if the pod sorta worked kinda like how Ultra Magnus did in the IDW comics? Like, "Smokescreen" was originally an armour used by various minicons/smaller bots to fight and this time around was Alpha Trion's guard, but when Iacon fell it wasn't just Trion who was hiding deep in the Archives. There were loads of other bots who seemed shelter within its walls and now were unfortunately trapped
so "Smokescreen," in an attempt to save at least one more life, ends up hiding a sparkling in the frame in their place. Unfortunately in all the chaos they didn't have time to let Trion know about this so the newly made Smokescreen ends up still getting Omega Key-d. When he wakes up he's super confused and is just barely able to shamble his way over to some escape pods and then goes into his multi millennia stasis
and when he wakes up..... well, it's certainly been long enough for his frame to have connected and the processors to have synced together. Smokescreen doesn't even fully realise what's going on because of just how disorienting everything is, and his memories are clashing and trying to fit together. Because of the rush, the Old Smokescreen didn't have time to fully disconnect, so maybe there are still some of their memories lingering in the system which transfer to Current Smokescreen
I'd imagine Smokescreen would be rather clumsy outside of battle. When he fights he can rely on the battle protocols and "muscle memory" of the armour (not that he realises), but outside of that he's a mess. Quite literally tripping over his own feet, misjudging distances and how far his reach is, not knowing his own strength, he's an absolute mess and it frustrates him to no end. He'll also have seemingly random bouts of really bad body dysphoria for no apparent reason
his emotional state is........ very complicated. He gets along GREAT with the kids, but the other Autobots? ehhhhhhhh it's a bit difficult at times, and it really doesn't help that he's consciously aware of how "irrational" his emotions are. He can't help it that he feels so much, but not knowing why he feels the way he does is frustrating at best. Not to mention his social skills are VERY lacking which makes actually communicating what he's feels so much harder, and this definitely creates a bit of a rift with the other Autobots
as for how the Autobots find out........ I had an angsty thought
what if it happens when Smokescreen's on the Nemesis
when Knockout uses the scanner to search for the Omega Key he does find it yes....... but he also sees something very very strange. Another frame inside, a very small one but..... it's different from a minicon......
and the second the Decepticons learn about this they start losing their goddamn minds
because this is a sparkling. A fragging SPARKLING. HERE. MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF YEARS AFTER THE WELL WENT DARK. ON E A R T H
naturally the Decepticons are horrified and do everything they can to safely remove the little thing as quick as possible. Knockout in particular is freaking out because he ripped out the Omega Key rIGHT NEXT TO THE SPARKLING!!!! WHO KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE I'VE CAUSED TO IT-
Smokescreen ofc is also confused and panicking since There's A Sparkling Inside Of Him?!?!?!?!!? but when it gets removed, suddenly things get even more chaotic
I'll admit I'm not super sure how exactly things go from here, but I do have three thoughts
1) Now without the battle protocols and armor stuff constantly yelling at him, Smokescreen's able to act way more like a child, however given how long he was in the armor he still has to deal with the memories from inside it and without the armors added processing power
tldr, the little bean now has Adult Trauma And Memories he's gotta work through while having the brain structure of a child
2) Smokescreen is younger than the kids, but older than a toddler. I was thinking maybe he was the Cybertronian equivilant of 8-9 years old
and 3) what is essentially a custody war starts between the Autobots and Decepticons

Random mdzs headcanons that I don't think interfere with canon:
Though sufficient cultivation cures this, lwj is short sighted. (this is because of that mxtx interview but if he actually was short sighted he would be wearing glasses in canon.) Similarly, so would lxc and lqr is already halfway there lol.
Wen chao is barely older than the main cast. Like a couple years at most. This is is because it took until his poor wife (who shall forever be unknown, rip) being mentioned for me to go 'that's an ADULT?!'. Everything from the voice to the face to the short sighted immaturity and the lying to adults in charge, there's no way this guy is anything over 20.
Lqr isn't a very strong cultivator for all his technical skill is impeccable. I think this because I thought he was young grandparent age when he's the uncle!! It's too much stress! Major props.
He's also aromantic! We know that nothing will stop a lan in love, much to their detriment, but not only does lqr seem to regard the lot of them as idiots for finding the absolute worst choices ever but I feel if he'd also loved and lost it would have been... Relevant.
Jfm was gay, and his unrequited love was wcz. Alternate sexualities (and queerness as a whole) is one of those things that's still so dangerous in many countries, and I guess ancient fantasy China is one of them! Poor mxy. Anyway that plus arranged marriages plus jfm being an only child (to my knowledge) and needing heirs... Yeah I feel like that's one of those things that happens. It's common all throughout history, forcing people into het relationships for any number of reasons or risk social (or even physical) death. I could so easily trace how that would have affected him through the courtship, marriage, his parents, him genuinely trying to love yzy and maybe deep inside knowing it was doomed to fail, her intelligence picking up on that and trying to figure out how she was unworthy, her feeling hurt and disrespected, getting more and more paranoid and sensitive as it wears on, her being so close to the right answer but correcting her would expose him. Him just trying to settle for mutual respect and teamwork and her never getting what she needs to be fulfilled in life, what she was raised and trained all her life in preparation for. The way he's so unwilling to force his kids to do anything miserable and the way he's so quick to call off the engagement when all he's hearing is disinterest and incompatibility. I could make this a whole post on its own but I fully believe this man lived and died like so many other queer people have in the past - never being able to find out who he truly was, and that he wasn't broken for not being the way he needed to be. Wangxian have an easier time of it, but when there's stories like mxy? People keep their heads down. He raised jc the way he was raised, and he turned out fine. It wasn't their fault he was such a failure of a son.
To cheer things up, I firmly believe that wwx is bisexual af. Just because lwj is his soulmate doesn't mean he's not. Are you an mxtx protag if you're simply, straightforwardly gay? I think not.
Though I do wonder if jc being Banned From Women was 100% an entirely whoopsie daisy accident. Sometimes standards are supposed to be impossible... Now I think about it, the certainty lwj hated wwx, the total lack of any partner, the focus on jl, the constant frustration with wwx's flirting and incomprehension with jyl crushing on jzx... I think the women are the only straight ones in the family, cuz he's sounding the aroace bell! Good for him tbh!!! Break the cycle!!!!
Lsh is the child of either wrh, wc, jgs, or two perfectly lovely normal people who died in war/childbirth. He was 100% a village kid, so thank goodness they all stepped up. I feel like one of the wens would have told wwx his parentage either way, so if he hasn't told anyone else I can't imagine it's great.
Each sect is associated with an element. The wens of course were fire, the nie earth, the lan air, the jin water (koi/carp tower), and the jiang are lightning (given we assume yzy and the jiang territory are compatible (her husband is probably water lol oof)). Years of specialised clan training and select marriages have caused the clan members qi to take on movement (at minimum) matching the respective elements. This is based on the anime, where everyone has nice handy colour coded qi, but the twin jades have the prettiest cloud texture that perfectly matches their crest and wwx has an almost lightning spiky red with just enough smoulder to make he sure he's a fire type. This also!!! Matches their fighting styles, have you noticed?? Idk if they did it on purpose or not but it's so cool!!! Wwx and jc are constantly moving, redirection, bounce and flip around; lwj and lxc are very twirly, lots of attacks from above, lwj often lets his sword fly mid battle, and of course the music! And the nie are very... Brick wall lol. I'd say NHS is air? Maybe? Water?
This one's a bit silly, but I like to imagine csr and bsr are mother and daughter from a distant land where people use their surnames last (gasp) and it wasn't really important to bsr cuz secluded mountain but they did figure it was going to be a problem a touch late. 'oh but phoenix they have different spellings in Chinese' csr got asked 'oh so like the immortal?' panicked and changed it on the spot. Her husband's nicknames all use her 'surname', he's the only one who knows about the mix up.
Spinning in the air helps you change an attack or helps you float. Yes this is based entirely on the anime (donghua?) where even the most serious of characters (lwj) do three full rotations before landing a big attack midair. It might be so he has time to get his guqin out lmao.
Jc is left handed, I'm pretty sure that's anime canon at least. Any good swordsman (or dual sword whip wielder!) can do a little ambidexterousness tho.
Wwx can do decent guqin cuz he's the gentleman prodigy of the arts but he probably whittled a dozen dizi out of roadside bamboo on long journeys to entertain himself which is why chengching was such a fine tuned spiritual tool.
The jiangs were a great sect lead by good people in an ehhhh family. Individually they're all actually decent people but they bring out the worst in each other even as it keeps them all in check.
I firmly believe that yzy was holding back a LOT when made to whip wwx in front of the wen wench. That's a whole entire spiritual weapon and she was going at it wildly in a barely stable environment. Compare that to lwj who took the discipline whip not too many more times (if any) and was rendered bed bound if not house bound for years recovering (and grieving) and over a decade later is still a mass of scar tissue. And that was an orderly and structured punishment using materials designed to NOT kill the victim, not a whole entire LIGHTNING MURDER WEAPON. Wwx was back on his feet minutes later sword fighting, rowing, carrying jc on his back... Lwj is the more realistic result, real whips can be lethal, and very, very dangerous. They are excruciatingly painful and if you make a mistake they can easily flay skin and muscle to crack bone. You're not supposed to strike the same patch of skin twice. Yeah wwx and his stupid pain tolerance but I truly believe him and yzy were in full accord in that moment with the roles they had to play (and jc hated every second). She could at least have apologised... in the middle of heated battle for her home and life though....
Lwjs eyes are gold and sunset and stars' YES ALSO BUT I looked at them and my immediate reaction was 'that's a bird of prey'. They're LITERALLY falcon eyes, they're identical, and I've never once seen that comparison :(. He's already piercing/intense/pinning/scouring, (and his anime eyeliner and dark lashes look like the markings) he's so perfect for the metaphor. Make it that wwx is the rabbit prey, come on.
Why is wwx sun coded but moon aesthetic and lwj moon coded but sun aesthetic like how's that fair why does it always happen.
Stop blaming wwx for Suiban he admits he came up with a zillion good names and it was jfm who didn't pick any and named it as a joke. Ngl if that was my trusted person who went and did that I would have been gutted but hey wwx thrives. I do feel like jfm naming the sword that wwx sacrifices to save jc is grounds for some angst at the very least.
Lxc was definitely in some situation with the other two because he does read as a parallel to lwj. Their romantic lives are basically inversions of each other, you could hold a graph up to a mirror. It's just that lwj was so deeply lucky to get wwx back, and he fell in love with someone true to himself. Lxc just got used and left with the ashes, no matter how much true love was on either side. Wwx chose family, kindness and community with poverty and jgy chose greed and power and wealth for total isolation. It was NHS that inverted their fates, but either brother's love could only come at the cost of the other. Poor qiren...
All those fancy huge ribbons in everyone's hair (again it's the anime donghua) are special and ridiculously sturdy ribbons given by the parents they wear in varying styles to tie it all up and as they grow up so they don't trip on it. This is a silly headcanon but I love it cuz those ribbons are stupid long and literally everyone has it. Maybe it's the mdzs equivalent of the guan ceremony?
Wwx has for sure done cannibalism.
Ooh painful headcanon time - his parents died in yiling right? And all corpses get tossed into the mounds for centuries, right? Nonzero chance wwx's parents bodies broke his fall.
Lwj gets wwx a mule for a birthday/festival cuz those guys are basically the perfect mounts humans are ever going to get, they're just v rare and infertile. They're smart and brave as donkeys and fast and strong like the horse, resulting in an animal that is down for mounted parkour with the right training. And then lwj can ride a horse alongside wwx when they go travelling ^^. Idk I just think it'd be super cute.
Wwx only comes up with good names when he's doing real bad. Names when he's doing good: Suiban, li'l apple, rulan (after his bf). Names when he's doing bad: chengqing, yin iron tally/stygian tiger amulet, compass of evil.

lol any ideas up for sale recommendation? one shots or something bigger? I have the writing skill but NO FICKING INSPIRATION AHHHH
the Deaf tenma fic is essentially up for grabs, thats a fic that requires a level of care that I can't give it, maybe I'll dedicate a one-shot to the idea, but if you want to write a full length fic, go nuts
the different coach idea is something that I still haven't quite let go of yet, especially kageno. as someone who struggles with social interaction, and was far from first pick in gym, I relate a lot to kageno. but really, you can take this idea in different directions, I think that a lot of characters from the og season have real potential to be great coaches from raimon GO
I've had an idea in the back of my mind that's been bouncing around for a bit. if I remember correctly Endou became the coach in Go because he got injured, correct me if I'm wrong, so I'm assuming that in typical Endou fashion he just kinda jumped head first without considering what that would actually mean. he has to be, essentially, a teacher to these kids. and being a good soccer player does Not automatically mean you know how to Teach Others how to be good soccer players. so who does Endou know nearby with experience in this sort of thing. Hibiki wasn't really all that great of a coach looking back, but he was better than nothing, and Hitomiko had, things, going on, when she was coach. but Handa Shinichi, one of the first two who joined his soccer club, just so happens to have been coaching the KFC for a while, and he seems to know what he's doing at that, considering his character description: "Inazuma KFC's coach, formerly from the Raimon Eleven. He's popular with kids with his easy-to-understand coaching."
and speaking of character description, shishido sakichi: his character description in the first game is "He is becoming the team's key-man by developing his own pace." And then Kidou swoops in, and in the next game, his description is totally different: "His laid-back personality can make him the butt of his team-mates' jokes." I think there's a load of untapped fanfic potential in those two descriptions alone. and I can't imagine that Kidou's integration into the team was as smooth as the show made it out to be.
Of course I'm on a bit of an ina11 binge right now, so most of what I'm cooking up is ina11 related, but I'm always happy to put ideas out there!
