modern!mizu pt2 sfw + nsfw

a/n: brain continues to rot 😵‍💫 i thought i would focus more on ur relationship w mizu & ur dynamic with her

note: nsfw at the bottom!

ok so ab u two hehe

sfw ☆

modern!mizu gets into a playful mood w u from time to time

usually when she gets bored from hw or takes a break after coming back from the gym, she’ll come out of the zone and bother u

she loves to press ur buttons especially when it’s the two of u alone

modern!mizu is a tease. next headcannon.

“Mizu. Stop.”

“Stop? What would I be stopping?” she would say in a teasing manner.

“You know what I mean-“ you say as she continues to squish your face with her left hand. A small but undeniable smirk starts forming on her face.

however, when u are both out, she’ll keep the teasing to a minimum

at least tries to (the voices r strong but shes stronger most of the time)

her hand might just slip down by ur waist and squeeze it at times to get a little reaction or gasp out of u

(but that’s an idea for me to elaborate on later)

modern!mizu prefers u to hold her arm than her hand

she’ll take either but she feels more secure knowing ur holding onto her

she def likes it when u lightly squeeze her arms to stay close

modern!mizu likes joining in on ur care routine before going to sleep (this is kinda nsfw)

at first, she was curious as to what products u were using on ur face

she initially saw the facial ice roller as a new toy ngl

it’s not one of her proudest moments

“Hey Y/N?”

“Yeah?” You were in the bedroom finding your pajamas, not even guessing what she would ask you next

“You bought a new toy?” Mizu yells from the bathroom.

“I did?”

She comes out with your facial ice roller in hand.

“Baby-“ you start speaking.

“I mean I know you said you wanted to test out temperatures in bed one time but…”

“Miz-“

“Just how… exactly do we use this? I know this part is the handle but where does the ice go?” she asks as she holds the handle sideways, staring at the product and analyzing its usage.

You start to giggle a little as you take the roller out of her hands.

“I’m being serious. How does it work?”

“Mizu, it’s for my face.”

She starts blanking out as you begin to roll the cold icy part on your cheeks.

“It’s supposed to help with puffiness.”

“Oh…”

self care along with her nightly tea became a comforting ritual in her bedroom

she was intrigued by the amount of skincare products u own

it’s not a lot (jk)

mizu totally didn’t build a whole shelf for ur products (she made sure it fit everything)

modern!mizu is ur guinea pig, and vice versa (sorta)

if u wanted to try a new product, she would try it with u

if she had a new creation/projected she needed to test out, u would be the second person she would call to check on production

u used to be the first until the “incident”

one time she called u in at the dead hour of 2 AM to come to the auto-shop and see her creation

it was a makeshift turbine for a solo project and all u had to do was turn it on to low fan speed

u ended up turning it on the highest speed somehow and broke the fragile engine

mizu froze as she watched her project get quickly chopped up by the fan

however she starts running to push u away and protect u when the fan starts hurling towards ur direction

u end up finding out she mislabeled the fan speed and made the “lowest” setting the highest setting

worried that she would put u in danger again, she asks taigen or ringo to test her new projects

she continues to be a guinea pig with ur skincare products and cooking

(ill make this vary depending on reader’s skills)

if ur not a rlly good cook, u and mizu can make two halves meet and collaborate on cooking together

u would probably ask ringo to help u out more than mizu admits to (it’s for the better and safety of the apartment)

if u are a good cook, she’ll be a bit more confident and step up as ur sous chef

she jokingly calls u “yes chef” as she gives u a kiss on ur cheek

one day, u bought a chef hat and started prepping dinner before mizu got back from the gym

You hear the front door open and the small ring of the jingle bell Ringo put on the handle.

“Y/N? Ringo?” Mizu yells as she puts down her bag.

“In here!” You yell from the kitchen. You fix your newly bought chef hat to match Mizu’s little running bit.

“Hey what are you coo-“ Mizu stops to look at what you’re wearing.

Some slippers, one of her shirts, and a chef hat. Oh my god. You turn to look at her with a smile.

“What is… that?“ She says, gawking at the hat.

“You like what I bought?”

“Yes but I wasn’t expecting a whole chef hat.” Mizu says as gives you a quick hug from behind and a little “hello” kiss on your cheek.

“You mean ‘Yes chef’?” You say teasingly.

“Haha very funny…”

You stare at her, pausing your cooking as you wait for the right words to be spoken out. She looks back and sighing in defeat.

“Yes chef.” She says as you giggle at her defeated tone, continuing to tend to dinner.

modern!mizu will chop and prep for u

give her a knife and a chopping board

ask and u will receive

random thought but she will tough out the onions

when she first starts her sous chef journey, she would always chew gum

she never realized that she could avoid onion tears with this method until she tried it

game changer !!

trust her w the onions. always.

modern!mizu enjoys dates out with u but the best dates are done at home, cuddling and watching netflix

u guys def have movie/tv show nights

maybe even experiment in cooking dinners

it’s peaceful and quiet (besides ringo joining in occasionally most of the time)

cuddling and relaxing after long school days resets both of u

mizu esp loves it when u both are under the covers and she can feel u doze off

it makes her a little sleepy too

As the second to final episode of your show comes to an end, Mizu checks up on you. She finds you, eyes closed & softly breathing.

“Y/N” she whispers while slowly unwrapping the blanket covering you two.

“Uh hm…” you say as you try and grip onto the blanket, it’s warmth escaping you. A light chuckle comes out of Mizu.

She successfully takes off the blanket, laying it to hang on the couch. She makes a mental reminder to fix it before she leaves for the gym tomorrow. You on the other hand are slowly waking up and walking to the bedroom, still holding her hand.

“C’mon now, let’s get to bed.”

You simply nod as she brings you to the bedroom to continue your sleep. She’ll catch you up on what you missed when you dozed off the following day.

modern!mizu would sleep on her back

it’s best to relieve lower back pain after learning from her adopted dad

so she’s adapted the same habit as him

when it comes to cuddling, she wraps her arm around you as she dozes off

if u wanted (or she wanted) to spoon, she would initially be the big spoon

however, the more u get into ur relationship, the more she switches over to being the little spoon

the feeling of ur hands wrapped around her as you both doze off is comforting

big spoon does stay on top though

it gives her access to… places

nsfw ♥︎

yk how i said in the first modern!mizu that she was touchy (and here too)

modern!mizu needs to hold or touch u whenever u guys are doing it

ur face, hands, shoulder, waist, hips, thighs

anywhere basically

she loves giving ur hips a squeeze while guiding u through the motions

when she’s making out with u, she lovesss to cup ur face or hold ur waist closer to u with her hands

when eating u out, u cannot escape

those gym seshes come in clutch

her arms will wrap around ur thighs and will not let u go

“Be good for me, will ya?” Mizu says, her breath only a few inches away from your heat.

You can only nod as you let your legs succumb to her arms. There’s no use fighting against them. You’ve tried and failed many times.

she would also hold onto ur hips if ur on top

she loves the control she would have on ur hips while u bounce up and down on her strap on

if not ur hips, she would give ur ass a squeeze as u continue to be riding her

modern!mizu always loves to leave a little mark

she knows how sensitive u can be around ur neck and loves to leave at least one, maybe two

if not there, then definitely around ur breasts

no one’s going to see them (most of the time)

she loves doing it especially when ur stimulated below by her fingers that are slowly yet deeply thrusting into ur wet insides

it would overstimulate u

but it would be so fun to see her lovely girl crumble little by little by her fingers and mouth

modern!mizu will do anything to hear ur voice

when she’s making out w u and hears a moan escape from ur lips, she’s so ready

ur moans escaping from ur lips while she eats u out is the best melody she’s ever heard

she gets lost indulging in ur noise that she would have to double check if anyone else is home before continuing

if ur moans gets louder when she goes faster, she will keep that pace up until ur a mumbling mess

so ab her being a tease earlier

modern!mizu likes to tease, especially when ur close

“Is my Y/N getting close?” she coos as she continues to thrust into you.

You were already overstimulated with how much she has done with you that night. From making out to practically squirting on her fingers earlier, your mind was a mess. As she thrust into you, all you could do was nod and moan as she hit a deeper spot.

“That’s the spot, isn’t it?”

You mumbled a yes and nodded. She heard you. But was it a spoken answer? Not exactly to Mizu.

She slows her pace down and looks to see your reaction: fucked out, dazed, and is practically begging for more.

“Mizu, please.”

“Please what?”

She grinds once to hear another moan come out. You continue to lose it as you start to bounce up and down on her strap, finding the spot again.

“Please fuck me more.” you answer.

She grinned as she watch you continue to move your hips up and down on her. Who knew you could still have the energy after all?

However, Mizu wasn’t done toying with you. She wants to hear your exact words.

“Fuck you how much more?” She says slyly as her hips start to slowly match your pace. You get silent as you find the right angle.

“Deeper. Much deeper.”

“Oh yeah?” she answers breathily, lining her hands with your waist as she searches for the deep spot.

A loud moan escaped your lips. Bingo.

“Good girl.” she calls as she continues her deep thrusts into you, coming once again.

hands down, making you speak while you’re fucked out is the favorite way to tease u

i cannot exaggerate how ur moans get her off

it’ll always be in the back of her mind while she continues to mess w u

it’s basically an obsession

hearing her lover practically crumble from her is her favorite part of teasing u

Just Friends (18+ mdni)

rafe cameron x barry x f!reader

where rafe and barry are your best friends, but won’t stop at the first chance to put you to work.

first obx fic so pls be nice !! and lmk if u want a part two!! <3

warnings: might lead to smut?? drugs, a little bit of objectification

you’re honestly not sure how you stumbled into the friendship of barry and rafe. you had grown up around kooks and pouges, but never really fit in with either of them.

you guessed that’s how you ended up here, hanging out with the neighborhood drug dealer and kook prince, the two people you really felt yourself around.

they loved their weed and coke, but you really only stuck to alcohol. you loved getting fucked out of your mind, and coke and weed didn’t really do that for you. barry and rafe we’re the opposite, but all substances had you all in a different head space.

it was a saturday night and the three of you had no plans; this resulted in you on barry’s couch, drinking beer and watching the boys take turns on the blunts barry rolled earlier.

“just one hit princess” rafe begged you to take a hit of the blunt. They had yet to witness you high, and were dying to see it happen.

“you gotta give it another go eventually, listen to country club over here” barry clapped rafes shoulder, the both of them pleading with you. You had smoked before, but it honestly wasn’t your thing. You thought it was cute hwo much they wanted to see you smoke.

“I know i knkw i will eventually, just not tonight”

they both groaned and you smiled wide, since it was your routinely response everytime the three of you hung out.

You were running low on your beer, “Gonna go grab another, you guys need anything?” You asked as you stood up, fixing your shorts that kept riding up.

“Nope” they said in unison, focused on the video rafe was showing barry on his phone. However, their attention drifted from the phone as you walked to the kitchen, your ass looked fantastic in the shorts you were wearing.

While the three of you were strictly friends, there was no denying the underlying sexual tension that surrounded the three of you everytime you guys hung out alone. You thought both of the guys were hot, and when rafe and barry were alone, they couldn’t help thinking about how it would be to spend a night with you. The attractive was naturally undeniable.

And while you three could keep it together normally, something different was in the air tonight.

A few beers later, whilst you were still aware and in control, you were the perfect drunk. This meant you were extra talkative and a little too horny for your own good.

Rafe and Barry were high out of their minds, between the shared blunts and lines they were snorting, and they couldn’t keep their eyes of off you. You were a giggling mess, eyes bright and glossy, and you’re smile so bright it made them feel a way they shouldn’t feel

“Oooh i loveee this song!” you jump up when the speaker starts playing, and start silly dancing. the boys just watch you and roll their eyes, used to this.

With the extra alcohol in you, you start really dancing to the music, swaying your hips, doing a hw most. While it’s completely innocent on your end, the guys change their composure as they watch you.

“Cmon- Cm-dance with me!” you’re a giggling mess, oblivious to your effect over the two men in front of you. You bite your lip in a smile as you grab rafes hands and pull him off the couch.

He smirks at you, then at Barry, as he hovers behind you as you continue to dance to your song. You sway to the music, and before you realize it, Rafe is swaying too, with his hands firm on your hips.

His hands slowly move up and down your waist, completely innocent. you play into it, continuing to dance, feeling his hot fingers trace up and down you.

It hits you what you’ve done, when his hands start tracing up, closer to your tits. Through the fog of alcohol, you can sense him, and decide to make a subtle move. You grab his sliding hands, guiding them to your tits, squeezing on them with his hands. This sobered you up to how close he was to you, feeling the heat of his breath on your neck.

You smiled at Barry through hazy eyes, watching as he used one hand to smoke his blunt and the other resting on his crotch.

Rafe whispered in your ear, “This okay princess?”

Your “mmmhm” was all he needed as he started planting kisses on your neck, his hands moving down to grip harshly on your hips. He found the soft spot on your neck and sucked, evoking a small moan from you.

“Country clubs got ya fucked up, huh, princess?” Barry says, locking eyes with you as Rafe continues to attack your neck.

You vite your lip to suppress a moan, feeling rafe get hard on your ass “mmmf” is all your foggy head can get out, before you realize barry has gotten up and is walking towards the two of you.

“Can’t expect me to sit here and not join,” he smiles as he comes close and kisses you, placing his hands on your waist. Barry doesn’t waist time, sticking his tongue down your throat as he slips a hand down your waistband.

It was all too much. Rafes hard dick on your ass, placing kisses down your neck, while barry kisses you deep and plants his fingers on your pussy

“We’ll take good care of you baby” Rafe slurrs as his hands make it back up to your tits, more aggressively this time.

“Gotta get princess out of her clothes so we can see her pretty tits, hm, country club?” Barry smirks as he rips your shirt over your head, Rafe undoing the claps of your bra to let your breast spill out.

“Fuck” the guys say in uníson, making themselves laugh. It hits you how tucked up you all are right now.

“You’re a pretty girl, princess” Rafe whispers in your ear, sending a chill down your spine.

“So pretty” Barry agrees “Gonna be our girl for the night princess? Can you do that for us?” Barry asks

“Yes, i can be your girl” You tell them, excited to see where this night will take you.

[bladeoftruths]

ok so while im at it i guess i'll just share my thoughts on ff16's story overall since i have a fair share of yays, nays and other abt it. SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!

the yays:

- the prologue is still a banger no matter how many times u watch it. it was such a solid opening.

- cid's arc is a banger, even tho im sad that he died halfway thru the story but this is final fantasy. your cid can either live or die so that mid could run, or vice versa.

- jill's arc is my favourite. killing your abuser is ok but again, i have a bias with her.

- i like that they give each of the main cast a time to spend with clive in respective arcs.

- kaiju battles. yes i am a sucker for that. i grew up watching tokusatsu so this is nothing new to me. titan fight is my favourite among all, bahamut second.

- clive and jill's slowburn romance is just AUGHENSKSKDKS I FRICKIN LOVE IT. the mutual pining, the slowburn and the payoff just feels... AUGHHHHHH GRAAAAHHHHH SO EFFING GOOD I CANT DESCRIBE IT IN WORDS *eats a brick everytime i see them hold hands, hug or kiss*

- the worldbuilding is also good especially in the sidequests.

- i like how they portrayed dion and terence's relationship. its not everyday u get to see a well written gay relationship that didnt feel fetishized. we need more of this. also they are both childhood pals to lovers so it hits a soft spot on me.

- the side characters are also loveable in their own right!! enough to be in the top 10 even.

- i think im lowkey glad that they decided to go for an all white/white passing cast for the game bcos god some parts of the game is super fucked up esp wrt the bearers and how the ppl of valisthea treated them. i cannot imagine the sheer backlash yoshiP and his team will get if they have a brown/black/asian character in especially if they are bearers/dominants :')

nays:

- i didnt like how benedikta just comes and goes at the same arc. like i really wish we get to know her more or at least, after she went berserk she could at least be saved so that cid could take her in and we get to know her more. GIVE US A DLC, CBU3!!!

- waloed arc to me is my biggest downer. i want to know more abt waloed. i want to know more about barnabas and how did he get influenced by ultima. the part after jill gives away shiva's power to clive at the shadow coast just... drops and until they arrived at drake's spine it just feels... eh to me. kinda like the idyllshire/hinterlands arc in HW (given that ff16 story is written by the same guy who wrote HW in FFXIV, i am not even surprised).

- i understand that they want to make waloed and origin arc the time where clive and joshua finally gets to bond together but damn i wish they didnt just leave out jill like that in the last two arcs. poor girl, let her fight even tho she can no longer use her eikon power anymore.

- i know i have beef with waloed arc but god, odin fight is so underwhelming. no kaiju battle??? i sleep.

- i want to know more abt the rest of the dominants apart from the rosfield bros!! jill's life before she was sent to rosaria, dion in general, kupka's backstory and his relationship with benedikta, cid in general, benedikta again and again, barnabas. hell, i also wanna know more abt leviathan. GIVE US THE DLC OR FIT IN THEIR LORE IN THE ULTIMANIA!!!

- i think most of us agree that the sidequests were better at telling the worldbuilding and character insight more than the msq itself. the msq focused a little too much on clive over how he and the comrades react to the world around them.

- i think we also agree that we need more characters bantering over each other especially the dominants. im sad that dion didnt get to interact with clive and jill more, nor even we get to see the rosaria trio bantering and reminiscing the good times together at the hideaway.

other thoughts:

- i'm very mixed abt the ending tbh. i like the ambiguity and open endedness a la FF tactics but at the same time WTF??? i was high on copium when i first see thru the ending but now that i looked back my brain is just on hopium. im just gonna cling to the subtle hints that were mentioned in the game where they point out clive, dion and joshua SOMEHOW survived.

- i dont get people saying that ff16 didnt feel like final fantasy... like all FFs are different in its own right?? ff15 is like contemporary modern meets fantasy, ff6 is steampunk fantasy, ff4 is fantasy with airship... the settings are different sure but as long as you have crystals being the core part of the story, as well as anime fights with giant monsters and summons plus its own unique FF-schtick its still a final fantasy.

- i also dont get the hate on 16 for being more game of thrones-ish... like this is not the first FF to have gone this route. you have effing FF tactics being the first one to do that. the only difference is how they present it. i personally feel that 16 deserves the M-rating so much bcos of how technological advances gives you more creative freedom on how u want to tell the story. back in the day you could only work with what u have so yasumi matsuno really had to restrict with how he want to write the story for tactics. also his writing inspired the ff16 writing team a lot if u notice. and while this is not the first final fantasy game to get an M-rating (FFO did it first) it is the first mainline to get one.

overall i think the game isnt bad nor is it perfect. it manages to hit the right spot but at the same time i have my fair share of nitpicks. i just hope that it makes enough sales on ps5 and wait for the announcement of a pc release bcos god i would still love to play this game even if i probably suck at action rpg games.

----

omake: my favourites among the cast overall:

boys (top 5):

- dion, clive, cid, joshua, gav (bonus: byron)

girls (top 5):

- jill, mid, tarja, martha, isabelle 'the dame' (im so sorry benedikta u deserved better :'))

all (top 5)

- jill, dion, clive, cid, joshua

i have a soft spot for jill bcos she is very much reminded me of ysayle and im weak to ice coded ladies, and dion is just aymeric but a dragoon and bahamut fucker. i know what u did there CBU3

and this comes to no surprise but i fucking love clive/jill. i am weak to childhood pals to lovers with a mix of mutual pining and angsty slowburn romance, and they just hit the right spot for me. im so glad they managed to pull off an adult slowburn romance for them so well auuughhhhhh

Lightning Strikes First

(Modern! Grimm x Reader)

(Chapter three)

As noon approached and the morning workers filtered out, I hung up my apron and pin to check off. I didn't have my usual shift for another six hours, so I planned to go home and do a whole lot of nothing.

I waved to some of the afternoon workers as I walked out, umbrella overhead. I wondered to myself if Grimm would get an umbrella after last night. He might. I don't know him well enough to determine that sort of thing though. I shrugged and walked back towards my apartment, humming a tune that I couldn't quite trace where it came from.

I felt something buzz in my pocket and pulled out my phone. I had a new message... Who would be texting me in the middle of the day? And why?

I unlocked my phone and pulled it up.

TotalTamer: Hey, you still coming to the mall today?

The mall- what... I wracked my mind, trying to remember what she was talking about...

Dung! I was going to hang out with Tate and Liam today! I facepalmed as I turned around, heading for the nearest tram station.

MeMyselfAndI: Yeah! Totally forgot, see you soon!

I shoved my phone back into my pocket and dug around for my tram pass. I really hope I have it on me-

I yanked the slip of metal out of my pocket as I reached the tram station, sliding the pass through the slot and grabbing it back. I get on and sit in the nearest open seat I can find; next to an... Interesting looking mantis. She looks over at me with a wide smile as the tram began to move. Well dressed for a casual day, and a strange mask over half her face.

"Hello there! Where are you going, darling?"

Her voice was not unpleasant, but scratchy. It was similar in a way to Grimm's voice. It didn't seem to suit her. And the word darling; another word that felt odd to hear directed towards myself.

"I'm just going to the mall... You-?" I responded with hesitance. I knew when to be careful about things, and being asked where your heading is a big watch out.

"Oh, I'm heading to the theater! A lovely place really. Have you been? The shows are just... Well, Divine!" she giggles to herself at that, as if she's made some perfect pun.

This mantis makes two well dressed bugs I've met that go to the theater. A strange coincidence, but not exactly a dangerous one. "I've heard of the theater here. Might go sometime. I haven't really had a chance to see any shows."

Her smile seems to grow impossibly, "If I may, I advise seeing a show From the Grimm Troupe! We put on a grand performance, if I do ay so myself~!"

With the mention of the Grimm Troupe, I perk up a bit. This mantis, she is in the troupe as well. A... Really big coincidence I guess? I nod in response to her. "I'll be sure to catch a show, sometime."

We sit in silence for a bit as the tram moves on. A few stops pass before she nudges me. "This next one is mine, darling."

With a nod, I stand when the tram stops and she moves from the seat, slinking to the tram doors. With nothing more than a little wave to me, she leaves and I reseat myself on the chair.

My phone buzzes again as the tram starts back up, so I pull it out and check.

WhiteBoySwag: wr u @?

After taking a moment to decifer Liam's text, I check the time and groan.

MeMyselfAndI: Almost there. And can't you be comprehensible with your texting? It takes me forever to understand you.

WhiteBoySwag: hw bt no?

I chuckle to myself and put my phone back in my pocket, waiting for my stop.

———

Within a few minutes I'm climbing off the tram, praying that I remembered the mall's location right, and hear the chattering of bugs going about their days. I look around at the open area as I open my umbrella overhead. The mall courtyard.

The Ore Mall is a popular place in the City of Tears. Being snuggly fit on the border of power and commons, all types of bugs visit it. Its large and complex, confusing to even the most adapt to it. A wonderful place to get lost in. The shops that line the interior sell all varieties of goods and products, both local and foreign. Candy stores and food parlors are the most filled during meal times...

As I check my phone for the time, it's not long after one, so lunch deals are still happening. Tate, Liam and I usually meet up at that Pale Palace pizza place. We don't always eat there, but it's easier to memorize one places location than dig around the entire mall for whatever shop we are meeting at.

Soon after walking through the doors and hooking my umbrella on my pocket, I'm treading through the mall on my, hopefully quick, journey. Passing by shop after shop, bug after bug, I eventually reach the main food corner and walk past all the delightful smells... Fresh pastries, warm bread, savory meats, honey candies- I shake away the distractions and trod forwards, looking around for the place.

Eventually, I spot the sign for Pale Palace and rush towards it. In moments, I can see to familiar bugs sitting at a table, glancing about. Tate locks eyes with me and waves, nudging Liam in their mask, who turns and waves as well. I sprint over and take a seat at the table with a huff of relief. I had been jogging for the most of my travel here, and I had gotten more than a bit tired.

"Hey guys-! Really sorry about being so late... I entirely forgot about today and there was this morning shift and-" Liam stops my rambling with a flick to the forehead. "-hey!"

They laugh, though their mask makes no shift. Solid and firm. I never understood why they wore it, but it made them happy, so I never bothered. "You're fine! I'm personally glad you came, right Tate?"

Tate nods and smiles at me. Her left antenna twitches and she pulls out her phone, checking something, before putting it away. I tilt my head and she shrugs, waving her hand as if waving off the silent query.

"So... What are we doing today? I do have another shift at 'bout eight, so we need to be done by at most seven or so." I look between the ant and the termite I call friends as they seem to think. "So- there was no plan?"

"Sure there was!" Liam pipes, before Tate laughs.

"Emphasis on was. I'm thinking maybe we check out the local corner? I saw a new antique shop that seemed interesting." she stands and looks back at us. Liam stands with an agreeing nod.

i get up quickly, "so, we just aren't going to get any food??" We laugh a bit and head off in search of what to do.

———

After a good meal of ice cream and tiktik cookies (there was a sale and I just had to), we were on our way to the corner of the mall filed with often changing, local shops. Some places would change week to week, others stayed long enough to get an official mall spot, but all came from Hallownest.

For the most part, we window shopped, looking into any places of interest and buying a few small things here and there.

Eventually, we reached the antiques corner. Tate directed us to the newest, already flooded with a variety of old trinkets and doo-dads. We went in and looked around. The place, despite being filled with what felt like ancient artifacts, was well kept and pristine. The owner obviously cared deeply for the collections.

Tate found a variety of chains and happily bought them, taking them to the counter and paying the assigned geo to an old bug. He wore a tag with the name "Lemm" on it. I knew exactly what Tate wanted the chains for; Beast was a big guy and constantly broke his toys. Tate had been talking about trying to hand craft some sort of ball and chain toy for him, so I guessed that was what most of the chains would be for.

Liam got a few rusty old throwing stars. They would be useless in any decent battle, but with a bit if care and cleaning, they would be shiny enough for display. Liam's always liked shiny things.

After a while searching, something catches a bit of light further back and I go to look. I've heard of dreamcatchers before, beautiful things made of silk and beads, fuzz tufts and such. I've seen plenty as well, mostly ones made for young grubs to get them to calm down around sleep times. They are supposed to trap nightmares in the web and let dreams through the middle. Allow for happy sleep. I never dream of anything, so they never had any interest to me.

This one was different though. It's colors were darker, reds and blacks. White beads hung from strings with grey tufts. On the string at the top, the one that would hang the catcher, a small charm was clipped on... It looked like a small face, two bold red eyes. Reminded me a bit of Grimm. It's whole vibe was strange.

"Something catch your eye?" I jumped a bit at the sudden, gravely voice and looked to see Lemm coming towards me. He looked darkly at the dreamcatcher as he stopped beside me.

"How much is this? I'm thinking about getting it." I looked back at the strange thing as he hummed.

"Five geo. Out of all the things here, It is one of my least favorite. Got it sold to me by some shadowy bug out in Dirtmouth. Said that it would bring the best dreams you'd ever have, but I only had nightmares any time I put it up." He huffed and started to walk back towards the front. "Buy it if you'd like, I just wouldn't put it over your window."

Well... That's not ominous. If it's only five geo, I might as well. I wouldn't actually use it or anything, if it was supposed to cause nightmares. It wasn't like I'd actually have any.

I grabbed it and bought it, putting it in my bag with the other things I'd gotten today.

Soon, I, Tate and Liam all left the mall to head our separate ways. When I eventually made it home and dumped the bag on the couch before heading off, I didn't notice the new way the dream catcher seemed to glitter in my apartment's lighting.

hii its bougie <3 if you're still taking hc requests, i was wondering if you'd have thoughts on something that's been on my mind for a while. i was interested in the nuance to english culture due to regional differences. eg.,dinner being called "tea" in the north of england, rugby being more popular in the south, the difference in how scones with jam and cream are enjoyed in Devon and Cornwall?? or how certain english accents are perceived as... "less attractive" i guess (the black country accents are unpopular apparently?) -- you'd probably know more about these particularities than me ;u;

i was wondering how these cultural differences might map onto hws England's character, and how they might influence his attitudes and behaviours. because there's such a clearly defined stereotype of the english that i think shape people's expectations of what the english are like, i usually think that Arthur usually consciously acts according to what counts as positive interpretations of himself. however, i love nuanced and somewhat subversive interpretations of his character, and am very curious if you might have any ideas on how these kind of internal regional differences might shape him.

Bougieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <3

I’m not gonna lie this sent me down a RABBIT HOLE of thoughts, so hang on tight cos we're gonna get messy.

Accents:

Let’s start with my personal favourite, so excuse me whilst I geek out for a second. I’ve gone into this area already in this headcanon, but I personally see England being a very proud little dragon regarding English accents, those both native and non-native to the British Isles. Focusing just on accents within England for this post, the way Arthur himself sees them, (regarding class and general preference), comes a lot down to how I see him feeling about language and the unification of England in general.

England is a tiny country. It’s really teeny, compared to some, and yet holds an incredible number of regional accents and dialects (from digging about the internet for a good source, I keep finding numbers ranging from 37 to 43). There are a number of reasons for this, but the one that I love the most is that accents are influenced by the previous/ influential other languages spoken in a given area. Accents on the East of England are more influenced by Viking invaders, both phonologically and via the dialectal words used, and accents/ dialects in the West are more influenced by Welsh, for example.

Accents and dialects tell the history of a place, all who ever came there and influenced it to some degree. The map of English accents is a patchwork quilt of old cultures and people now lost to time, but their ways of speaking have been preserved in the modern tongue. The old English kingdoms might now be mere counties- Kent, Essex, Sussex, East Anglia, etc- they may not have their own influence or language these days as they used to, but their old ways have been imprinted on their people of today whether they know it or not and they carry pieces of the past in their words and how they speak them. Older speakers of the Northern English dialects liek the Yorkshire dialect still use ‘thou/thee’ where this has fallen out in other areas, the Midlands and parts of the South-East still keep the ‘-n’ ending for possessive pronouns (‘yourn’ instead of ‘yours’, ‘ourn’ instead of ‘ours’), and there’s even some linguistic research into how Brittonic, the ancestor of Modern Welsh, influenced English structure and phonology (for references, see notes at the end).

Back to England the person (to contain myself slightly), his regional accents are a story of himself, his history being kept alive in all of its variety every day. He doesn’t hold a classist view of a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ accent because he knows why they’re all there- what languages and people influenced them and how these events affected him- the older generations now lost and forgotten being kept alive in the smallest of phonemes.

Every dialect, every accent, and every language tells the story of a people, from the smallest phonological marker right up to a language as a whole and England takes comfort and pride in his dialects and accents’ longevity and variety. He is as much of the North as he is the South, as much of the East as the West and a patchwork man born of patchwork cultures it makes no sense for him to favour one particular accent over another.

That being said, he is aware that there is a common cultural stance on accents as well as an opinion regarding ‘ugly’ ones, ‘common’ ones, and ‘classy’ ones, but he himself doesn’t partake in these ideas. I like to think that a nation takes on the speech of the people and the area they’re in, matching the person they speak to or the area they visit to relate to their people. So, for me a Chav Arthur exists as much as a Brummie one does, or a Scouser, or a Geordie, or a Cockney. They’re all English, and thus they’re all a part of him.

Class

I have to include this one, if only to touch on it lightly regarding accents and dialects. Class does influence which words you speak, arguably just as much as which accent (this is known as a sociolect). Although I said that England adopts the accent of whatever area he’s in, or whomever he’s talking to if they’re English, the class people are will also affect which words he choses to use.

Here’s a short example from here:

'It is pudding for the upper class. Dessert is sometimes used by upper middles, but afters and sweets very clearly put you below stairs.'

Have some more!

Upper class: Spectacles, Lavatory or loo, Die, Napkin, Sofa

Middle class: Glasses, Toilet , Pass on, Serviette, Settee or couch

(Working class is a mix but harder to find sources for).

This is where England treads a fine line. It could be that he again adopts more of a class lexicon regarding who he is speaking to, matching his people word for word. However, England is not unaware of the affects of class, regardless of how he himself feels, and also although class snobbery and divide frustrate him, he cannot deny using this understanding to benefit himself, which also conforms to how his own people behave. (I myself have, many times, diluted and filtered my speech to be seen as ‘better’).

Want to be seen as more reliable and powerful? Want to be taken more seriously? RP and Estuary English (a lot more so these days), hold undeniable sway and England is not above adopting a manner of speaking to come across ‘better’ or more polite, or a more ‘common’ accent to fit in with the working classes. I think of England as leaning more towards a working-class mindset- he’s very hands on, very up for and used to manual labour and this particular English class has always made up the bulk of his population. It makes no sense for a nation, who represents all of their people, to have a snide view or a preference for a particular group and England as a person I see is someone who does not enjoy the foppery and false airs of aristocracy.

That being said, England is an intelligent man. He knows how to work a room and use a crowd to his advantage, knows what must be done and what he needs to do to achieve a goal and if this entails courting the upper classes for a time then he will do so. He’s adepts at switching himself like a chameleon, blending his behaviours, accent, and dialect to match who he’s talking to to achieve a goal or to fit in with someone’s perception of him, or to gain influence or prestige. He also doesn’t hate his upper classes- they are of him too, and the middle and working class have their own prejudices and ideas against the others. But he doesn’t adopt a stereotypical distain of lower classes because to him, it really doesn’t make much sense.

Abroad, this need to cultivate a particular perception defiantly comes under greater pressure. RP and Estuary English are more well know, more heard and taught, and more recognisably ‘British’, and so these are what he uses when speaking English to other nations or foreigners, either wanting to uphold an image of himself (more so in the Victorian/ Edwardian period than nowadays) or just for the ease of being understood.

Regional Differences

Okay, this one is a lot more fun. Does England put in his milk first or last when making tea? Does he put jam first, or clotted cream when having a scone? Does he have chips with gravy, or curry sauce? Does he have dinner at 6, or 9? To marmite, or not to marmite.

Ah, that is the question, and England does not know the answer. Does he do what he does because that’s what he likes, or because that’s what his people do? He didn’t grow up with these habits, after all, they’re all relatively recent in his lifetime, and so these habits are defiantly things he cultures for a particular audience.

I’m not really sure if the above preferences are class based, (well, milk first when making tea is argued to be, but I can't find any sources I'd consider entirely credible. I put the ones I did find in the notes below, in case any one's interested), so it’s hard to get a sense of which one to use. Overall, it doesn’t matter which you do and neither is right or wrong, but the English feel strongly about them, one way or another, and often Arthur the man isn’t sure at all which one he himself actually thinks is better.

Food in another sense though is something he can be surer of. A Cornish pastie not from Cornwall is not worth eating, nor is a Bakewell tart outside of Bakewell. England can be very particular about this sort of thing and enjoys maintaining and supporting the ‘original’ flavour or recipe of a thing where he can, considering this to be the ‘best’. Sally Lunn Buns from Bath, Gypsy tarts from Kent, Eccles Cakes from Eccles.

England wants to preserve his food and culture and has what could be considered a snobbish view on the ‘best’ way of creating or eating his national foods. Some things he is more lenient with: he will eat cheddar cheese, whether or not it is from Cheddar, same from Cumberland sausages not from Cumbria. But he certainly has a preference and he is not afraid to voice this when asked for his opinion.

Okay, we're done

Phew! This had me digging out my old linguistic student brain. To anyone who has made it this far down, gosh golly miss molly thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed the ride, and especially @prickyy who was kind enough to want to hear my opinions about all of this <3

I mean, there is one theory that says BoTW is at the end and hyrule warriors (wii u / re-release) comes sometime before it, which is a game where all the timelines get merged into one, which explains Zora and Rito, the rim on Link's Shrine% tunic (which is important because it only appears in the downfall timeline) and most importantly al the dang rock salt laying about everywhere. In Hyrule Warriors final act, an new entity mergers the great sea into the world to throw another wrench in, putting several different Wind Waker locations around, and putting just pools of seawater everywhere. I believe that while this theory is true, HW doesn't actually show what would canonicaly happen, both because Nintendo has said that it isn't canon, but also the fact the the story plays like a bad fanfiction. It's good, but the way the cutsceens progress and the character interaction in them is just awful.

My secondary headcanon is that BoTW is just so dang far into the future that all the events of all the timelines have happened in their own way. Sure, it's unlikely, but so are all the other options.

Sorry for the brick wall of text ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it happens sometimes with me.

Okay, I don't know for sure which post this is in response to (just woke up lol) but I'm guessing it's the phylogenetic tree post.

However, I love talking about timelines and which games are and aren't canon! I don't mind the Hyrule Warriors so much because about half the Zelda games have somewhat campy cutscenes OOT fans don't @ me, and my biggest qualifier is “can I make it fit?”

Triforce Heroes is my kryptonite. Just...what even WAS that game.

MatPat has a good Zelda Timeline video, if you’d like to look more into that! And I’m always open to discussion!

15 question game

@srirachafilledbees ty i love these

nickname: anoosoo, a knee sa, patrick

zodiac: aquarious 

height: gnome (4′11)

last thing I googled: "parse int char java”  for comp sci hw 

song stuck in my head: Kocci Muite Baby - Ryo/ Supercell/ Miku

number of followers: 285? fairly certain 98% of them are bots lol

hours of sleep: idrg what this is asking. on avg i probably sleep abt 6 hrs. But ive noticed if i dont have an alarm i will sleep p much until the clock is the same number lol. example: when i go to bed at 2 am i wake up at 2 pm, if i go to bed at 4 am ill probably wake up abt 3:30pm. and then i get tired all day it sucks >:0

lucky number: 2 bc my birthday is 2/2/2002 

favorite song: too many/changes too often. Rn its probably Kocci Muite Baby or Stuff That I Like - Bomb the Music Industry  

favorite instrument: i play flute so ofc that is my #1 (for rn). But i also love the sound of violin and other bowed strings. And i rlly like deeeeep sounding things where u can almost feel it, so also bass and cello. And drums are in a category of their own. listening to drums isnt even like listening to music its an experience. i wanna learn how to play drums.

dream job:  i have many interests, and hobbies, and interests i want to turn into hobbies but am too broke for. I feel like if i became skilled enough in any one of them to make a living from it, while also being able to maintain a good work-life-balance, id be cool w that. The bar is set so low but somehow still seems impossible. fuck capitalism.

aesthetic:   i was very into the ocean/nautical aesthetic until abt 2015, then i was SUPER into forest/cottage in the woods aesthetic (and still am), i guess today would fall under “cottage core” but i have some arguments about that. [I could probably write an entire essay on this but this is the extremely cut down version: From what i perceive from the main apps i use, instagram, youtube and tiktok, it seems like there was a huge rise in popularity in cottage core aesthetic starting about Dec 2019. My main problem is, my own definition of what cottage core matched with what i saw online up until this big boom of cottagecore, and now it seems like what i think is *not* cottagecore is being called cottage core. But with something as conceptual and subjective as an aesthetic, it is really defined person to person, based on everyones own opinions and experiences and way of categorizing things. Plus language is defined by its speakers, so technically, the general definition of cottage core will always be whatever the majority of people define it as, at the time of definition. What i think happened is, when it got really popular, the range of what “fits” into cottage core widened alot, so while my aesthetic still falls under cottage core, it may fit better in a subcategory (a recent necessity) or entirely differently named aesthetic. Either that, or it was never cottagecore in the first place. again this is based on the content i see from the couple apps i primarily use, which is really only a sliver of all the cottagecore content there is]. My other aesthetic is dirty feral subway rat eating pizza under an incoming train and chainlink fence at 5pm in october No i will not elaborate.

favorite author: i cannot remember the last time i read a book that didnt eventually cause me too much stress to remember anything positive about it or the author

favorite animal noise: my husky when he go OOWWWWRRROOOOOOOO

random: I have synesthesia and alot of ppl with synesthesia say its helpful but i think mine hurts more than it helps lol. also, unrelated, i used to want to be a sniper. 

(idk who to tag. anyone can do it but if u do, tag me in it i like reading these :)

Hello! I am sorry to bother you but I am a senior getting ready for college this year. I am in the US and I wanted to major in the same thing you did, do you have any possible tips for me? I still haven't even looked for colleges that would be best for animation majors so I figured if you were up to giving out any tips/saying any basic ideas if you wanted to/if you had the time to then maybe I'll have a better idea! I apologise for if I sound weird! I'm tried to word it correctly but I can't 😿

hi!! i’m totally down to share my experiences! someone else also had some questions so i’m going to put them all together in this post haha, hopefully this helps! it’ll get pretty long so apologies ahead of time but art school is a lot to think about so i wanna be as helpful as i can around it, its a lot of time and money. I’m gonna put it all under a read more cus it is really really long!

i wanna start off with the fact that I had the privilege of attending school in a financially stable environment, my parents were/are really supportive so w merit scholarship i only came out with around 20-30k in debt and i also had housing support my entire time in school. they were ok with me focusing on academics so i didn’t hold a retail job unless i was out of school like summer/winter break. Ofc though i regularly take commissions/do merch/cons to try and pay for all bills that arent rent cus i did want to be financially independent where it was possible. I also did try and work during the semester but everytime i did my body would deff start to breakdown from the fact that i didnt wanna compromise schoolwork with jobs.. so just read ahead know this experience is from a student who was able to attend focusing only on school work for most of the time!

the biggest thing is knowing art school is not required to become a professional in either freelancing or industry! there are a huuuge amount of online tools and classes these days that provide the exact same education and for cheaper too. i think it depends on what experience you prefer/can handle/want but it’s definitely possible to make art/animation art your living without higher education. the thing that college will for sure give you though is the ability to meet deadlines, work even when you dont want to, and connections with peers+teachers. i think the connections part is invaluable because you’re basically coming out with a network of people you already know and who know you! 

also its good to know if you want to attend/can handle art school! it’s a lot of time and energy and students get burned out really fast. the best piece of advice i got before going was ‘if you draw every single day, even if its for only like 5-10 minutes or a doodle for a whole year you should be fine’ consistency is super key because you’re attending school to draw, and you’ll have to create work for stuff you aren’t excited for at some point or another. burnout is extremely real and the only reason i didn’t experience it was probably because i got super into drawing naruto fanart again inbetween sophomore and junior year! it helped give me something to draw seperated from school which is the only thing i was drawing for since i had entered rip. a heads up id also consider myself a workaholic so i fit in ok with the ‘art school’ environment but it is suuper unhealthy. if you are fantastic at managing your schedule then it’s definitely possible to take care of yourself! freshman year i got 8 hours a sleep a night and only pulled all nighters for some second semester finals at the end. sophomore year + up though i ended up prioritizing hw over sleep and like for sure, definitely shortened my life span. there’s another q down below where i’ll go more into detail but ya, be careful w ur work balance!

another tip especially for animation is knowing for a fact what type of animation you’re looking to go into, and what the school is offering. I didn’t think i’d get into art school at the time so i only applied to two places + decided if i didnt get into either id attend community to get credits out of the way while building portfolio. honestly? i did not do a lot of research LOL but like i did end up having the chance to tour and stuff! just know that each school will have a very different curriculum. The main differences are schools that prioritize 3D (cg animation, cg modeling, ect) and 2D/traditional (hand drawn, ‘oldschool’, digital or traditional based) this is a huge difference so make sure you do research for it! in most cases a 2D/traditional program will also offer 3D since it’s at the forefront of the industry animation wise rn. My school taught 2D but like hand drawn on physical paper 2D, frame by frame. while it was a good experience it’s super outdated because digital tools make it way faster + easier! i’d recommend looking for a program that is digital 2D over traditional 2D. 

if after your senior year covid is still affecting campuses in the US to keep them shut down i’d recommend attending a community college to get credits and then transferring into school. one of the negatives is paying money for gened classes when ur not there for them; if you can get them out of the way sooner and cheaper there is absolutely no negative + you could graduate earlier or use the extra time for better work or to work a job! 

these are all the general tips i think i’d give on like a broad basis of attending or not to think about? let me know if u have more q’s! someone asked q’s im answering below that go more into personal experiences + work culture so heres those:

- how many hours a week do u spend studying, in class, otherwise making art? like how much of ur life does it consume?

I was basically working on art.... 24/7! since i wasnt working a job at the same time i crammed as many credits as possible into my schedule so on avg i did 18 credit semesters (around 6 classes) art classes go for 6 hours and non art go for 3, so i’d spent around 30-35 hours in class a week! hw wise it varied on the class but combined it would be around 35-50 hours a week... im guessing? on average studio classes would have 8-10 hours of hw, maybe 5 for a light week, and gened classes 5 hours w them all combined. or this was probably how things were before junior year? junior+senior year i had thesis + everything else ontop.. i’d spend around 30-40 hours on thesis a week with other classes ontop of that bc my film was super long cus im a dummy! 

- is it hard going to art school n realising that altho u were probably quite talented… so is everyone else? Like. all of a sudden. ur not special and everyone seems as good as u, you know? More generally, how do u deal with comparison?

kinda?? i think instead of the idea of like you vs others it feels more of like a competition at first to be the best. this varies hugely on school culture though; my animation year was really friendly with each other and get along extremely well, so my answer to this is v different than some others who attended different schools. i think that the idea of ‘comparison’ only lasts a portion of the first year because at some point you realize that it’s not a who’s better as much as its a ‘these are my coworkers’ type thing? like healthy competition 100% because we’re all working to improve but i think most of us learned pretty early on that viewing each other as peers going into the same workforce helped a lot. also at some point everyone develops their own style/starts to develop their artistic preferences so there isn’t a way to compare whos 'better’ anymore? i dont think there ever is tbh because style is appealing based off of an individuals preferences. If anything realizing everyone else is also amazing makes you wanna work harder ig? or thats how i felt! it’s inspiring to be surrounded by so many people who create such amazing work. 

- is there a lot of workaholic culture? all nighter culture?

100000% there can be a workaholic and all nighter culture. i know people who avoided it and thats honestly fantastic because i fall super easily into that pit. sometimes i’ll pull all nighters on a personal project just because i really want to finish it... i am definitely considered a workaholic all the way through and its not healthy rip... i’d estimate at the worst i was pulling 2-3 all nighters a week and only 4-5 hours of sleep on the nights i didn’t? that was only for one year tho, after that i was like yeah ok this is really bad for my health in the long run LOL so i tried to cut it down to one all nighter a week and around 5-6 hours of sleep the rest of the week! by senior year my decision to cram in full semesters paid off and i was able to consistently get around 7 hours of sleep a night + no all nighters minus finals since my schedule was lighter despite thesis 😭 while there is that culture i don’t think people view it as like a badge of honor or something to be proud of anymore which is good, we mostly view it as a flaw of the art school system and something that needs to be fixed!!

- are you glad u did it? how did u know it was what u wanted?

i am glad i did it! i’m definitely in a limbo right now of if it was worth both my time, money, and my parents money rip but i think with what i got out of it i definitely wouldn’t be as far skill wise or knowledge wise when it comes to the art industry. i would say it was only worth it for be because i had so much support going in though so i was able to focus so much on improving. if i had only been able to put in part of the effort and not make full use of the resources provided i would honestly have a different answer.. 

i knew it was what i wanted when i realized i really couldn’t see myself pursuing a different profession happily! despite all the bumps and stuff im fully in love with drawing still and feel honored that it’s a field that can provide a living. my second profession choice was to go into culinary school? and third option i think going was into music cus i was also a band kid hehe.  

- how do u cope with ur hobby becoming ur job? how do u deal with art going from something u do for fun to something u do on command constantly?

i think seperating work art from personal art is important! in my case im doubling naruto into being personal work so i have something to fall back onto that isn’t work related. its been a hyperfixation for 12+ years? so drawing it at this point is just like personal art imo. some people have hobbies outside of art and only draw for their job! i think after attending classes for so long the idea of hobby turning into job feels extremely natural? also i enjoy doing it so thats a huge plus! 

sorry this is SO long but i hope i answered your guys’ questions! if you have more just lmk!

miraculous ladybug!minsung

because we deserve it

masterlist if u want it lol

this is way too Long (over 6k yike) and it’s Complicated (u should probably watch the show before reading this if u havent) and probably woulda been better as prose and i use the word yeet way too many times but u kno what

and who needs breakfast anyway?? Definitely Not Minho Hahahhaahhhha

he comes into first period (english) just in time and hastily takes his seat in the second row

minho sits next to this guy felix in first period who falls asleep half the time but it doesnt matter at all bc hes fluent in english

when he sits down, felix is talking to his best friend jisung, who’s turned around completely in his chair, eating a croissant happily while listening intently to a story felix is telling

“so then I see this dark shadow cross over the street, and guess who it is???? LADYBUG that’s who!!!!!!! that guys so cool!”

jisungs eyes widen, and he smiles. the sight’s endearing for some reason

“you saw him? that’s so cool! what abt chat noir, did u see chat noir?”

jisung breaks off a part of his croissant and offers it to felix, who accepts it and shoves the entire thing in his mouth

then he turns to minho, and minho doesnt know why but it feels like jisung sees everything abt minho in just that gaze

but jisung just smiles, and breaks off another piece of his croissant, then gestures it in minhos direction

“do u want a piece?”

why is felix smiling so widely?

minho nods, and takes it, murmuring “thank you”

JISUNGS HEART IS GOING ASBNNSJDJF BYE

minho doesnt understand why felix throws a pen at the back of jisungs head, nor why jisung turns around and hisses “shut up lix” even though felix didnt say anything, but u kno

It Be Like That Sometimes

the day progresses, as days do, and then it’s over, and minho’s walking with woojin and chan towards the main entrance

they get to the bottom of the stairs when “minho hyung!” sounds behind them, and minho turns to see felix running after them, hair flopping everywhere

“is it true?” minhos abt to ask what felix is talking abt but then felix taps something on his phone and shows minho a tweet. “is ur dad really doing a music competition?”

oh lmao minho forgot that was happening

“yeah!”

“so ,,, whoever wins will … will get to record their song with you”

minho groans internally ;; that’s so embarrassing ;;;;;;; he doesnt want to be a reward

“yep!” he says, instead of groaning

felix beams and bows, “thank you, hyung, see you tomorrow!” before bowing to chan , then running off again

felix yeets out his phone n puts that ish on speaker so he can dm jisung the tweet

“sungiesungiesungie did u see it”

“see what hoe”

“check ur dms hoe”

jisung SCREECHES

“absndjjdjsjdjsjjjjjjjjjjfffffffff?¿? PRODUCE???? SONG?????? MINHO????? UGH BRB IM GOING TO CRAWL INTO THE SEWER”

felix sees jisung pacing around the courtyard and hangs up

“hey let’s go home!!!!!!! we can drink hot chocolate and choose a song for u to submit!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ughf get u a bff like felix

as soon as they get home they go upstairs and jisung goes up into his loft bed and fetches that laptop to start sifting thru his music folders

felix goes downstairs 2 la bakery to fetch les hot chocolates

they squish together on jisungs beanbag chair and search for suitable songs

jisung sorts his music into folders labeled with one of 5 emotions :) :(

“cant do love songs ,,, love song with minho? I’d burst into tears ,,, or flames ,,,, or BOTH :O”

“definitely cant do love songs about minho imagine the disaster that would make of me”

“cant do sad songs dont want minho sad want minho happy”

“ahhhhhhhhHHHHhhhHgh”

“well what abt a song u think minho could relate to? like about ,,, the stresses or expectations on students and young ppl ,,, or maybe abt feeling trapped? I know his schedule is always pretty packed, and taxing”

:o “OMG FELIX UR A GENIUS”

“I do what I can”

so jisung gets to work!!!! he’s had a tune stuck in his head for a couple days now, and when he Gets Down To Business it basically writes itself

he and felix are completely relaxed

,,,,,,

until

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

haha y e et

a k u m a

theres a disturbance that they can hear from far away, and felix’s phone goes off with an alert for ppl to stay inside + stay safe

naturally, felix does the completely opposite

he lovs ladybug and chat noir!!!!!!! and he is Not gonna pass up a chance 2 see them irl!!!!!!

“cmon sungie come with me!!!! we can see ladybug! and chat noir!”

gotta think fast jisung

“im on a roll with this song :((((((((( i just wanna write now”

well who can say no to jisungs puppy eyes

not felix thats who

“ok!!! i’ll take pics 4 u”

so felix runs out; jisung stopped trying to convince him to stay home and stay safe a long time ago bc it never worked (he always snuck out to watch)

T I K K I ,  S P O T S  O N ! ! ! ! ! !

it’s transformation time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then it’s save seoul time!!!!!!

jisung yeets himself over rooftops to where there are bright flashes of light streaking around haphazardly and tries to see what’s going on

then, of course, there’s an arm around his waist

“good evening ladybug!” minho says brightly, spinning his staff absentmindedly and leaning his chin onto ladybugs shoulder

“hello chat noir ,,, u ready 2 save our city again?”

our city oof

ugh ladybugs so adorable minhos gonna combust

keep it cool, chat noir! u got this buddy!! get ur mans!!!

“sure am! u sure ur ready tho?”

minho watches ladybug swoosh his hair back, then crack his knuckles and jump off the building

minho follows suit, like always

gotta protecc the bf, u kno

ughfhfh minho cant take his eyes off ladybug throughout the entire battle

he gets slammed into the side of a building by a tendril of light because of it but whats new lmao

oh no wait thats gonna Hurt tomorrow at dance practice yike ://

well it is what it is

and it’s worth it bc minho can see and predict everything that could possibly hurt ladybug and Fight It off

whenever ladybug falls or stumbles or trips minho feels the urge to pick him up and never let him go ;;;;

dont we all lmao

and as ladybug leaps up into the air to give his final strike, minho watches, like he always does, and waits for ladybug to make it back down to the ground (like he always does)

minho jumps down to join ladybug, who just finished cleaning everything up, and who’s humming a tune minho’s never heard before

it’s rly pretty

and then he sings a line, “and even if i’m slow, i’m worth the effort it takes to grow” and Yike how has minho never heard the lohl sing before?? his voice is so beautiful??? help???????

“ur staring boi”

of course i was staring ladybug every time i see u you get more and more unbelievable

“and what r u planning 2 do about that”

“nothing, considering i have like 0.2 seconds until i change back! see u later” boy see u later blackpink is the revolution

ladybug runs off, but not before winking, then smirking, then actually smiling at minho, as if hes trying to make minho cry

minho basically has to go straight to dance practice, but the whole time he cant stop replaying that one line ladybug had sung

when he gets a break, he sits against the mirror and looks up the line on Le Google ,,,,, but Le Google doesnt have les answers ,,,, apparently it isnt from anything??? and it’s not like he can just ask

:(

whelp it be like that sometimes ig

so he goes home ,,,, and goes to bed late again ,,,,, definitely Not thinking of ladybug

back to jisung lol

he has to race back home so he can beat felix there and pretend he was in his room the whole time

on the way back he slips into an alley to transform back from ladybug to sungie, just so ppl dont see him yeeting himself through the bakery’s upstairs window and make Connections

he has 22 snapchat notifs, all from felix, so after he rinses his face with cold water to cool down and changes into his pjs, he watches all the videos

it’s weird ,,, to see himself from a different pov ,,,, and chat noir

u know what they say: if u cant dissociate in real life store bought is fine

felix bursts in a couple minutes later, looking like he ran all the way home

“i did!” he says when jisung asks before ASDSKAFJHing and talking about ladybug and chat noir for 298730 hours, until jisung looks at the clock

“it’s pretty late, ‘lix; are u staying over?”

“on a school night? nah. but i will stay over this weekend! good luck on ur song sungie!!!!!!!! dont stay up too late bby !” felix blows a kiss over his shoulder as he saunters out of jisung’s room and down to the now-closed bakery store front

jisung stays up late anyway

he needs to work on his song ok! !!!!!!!!!! inspiration isnt always this easy 2 come by, he needs to take advantage of it!!!! !!!! !

“what time did u even sleep last night? ?” felix asks the next morning @ school

“i finished the song, ‘lix!!!! well,,, like a first rough draft ,,, i finished the lyrics and the basic melody and figured out what i wanna use as the background instruments and –”

“sung. what time. did u go to sleep”

“ uhh h hh”

“sungie”

“ , , , , , , ,,,,,,,,, uhhhhhhhhh idk  ,,,, myb like ,,,,  four”

“H A N  J I S U N G” - felix, scolding jisung while pulling out the chair of the desk next to him thats been empty all year so jisung can sit down and laying jisung’s head on his lap and petting his hair

minho comes in and sits on felix’s other side, and doesnt seem to bat an eye at the very cute and soft and adorable sight

felix doesnt even notice bc hes so busy weaving small braids into jisungs hair

even jisung doesnt notice and thats how u kno hes sleeby

when the bell rings to start first period felix picks jisung up off his lap

jisung whines and doesnt open his eyes, but felix flicks him in the forehead before handing him his water bottle and a waffle from his lunch box and sends him on his way back to the first row for class

“mmmmm thamks”

“u better get some gosh darn sleep tonight or else”

and minhos just a bystander here and hes trying to focus on the grammar drill on the board but jisung still looks so tired and minho has the Urge to Protect

some ppl just need to be taken care of!!!

like ladybug, his brain supplies helpfully, but minho tells his dumb brain to shut up bc thinking of ladybug does Not help him focus

days pass

it’s pretty quiet in seoul, so jisung hasnt needed to save anyone lately

normally he’d be kind of bored and restless, but he’s going Maximum Overdrive mode on his song for minho’s competition

“but sung!!! ur song is already so good!!!! it’ll win for sure, you’ve put so much time and effort into it!!!!!!!!”

“thank u tikki but it needs to be perfect!!!! i need it to be good enough for minho to sing it ,,, if i even win :(”

“dont work too hard!!! remember to take care of yourself too!!!!”

i love tikki bye like what a sweet and supportive little flower A+ kwami??

“what if my song is good but my voice sounds bad? what if minho hates my voice?”

HE WONT BABY UR VOICE IS SO SO PRETTY ;;;;;;;;;;

but despite all jisungs worries, the submission date approaches steadily

minho tho

he’s restless too, from the silence in the city

he misses ladybug helping people, misses flying through the streets, being free

so to cure his loneliness, minho just throws himself into practice more and more

his dad warned him to not sing too much so as to not strain his voice before the song competition, so he dances the night away every night!

believe it or not ,,, hes nervous for the competition

like yea hes not entering it or anything ofc but ,,, hes just kinda nervous. no real reason but it be like that sometimes

but time waits for no one

the day of the competition arrives!!!!!!!!

jisung was physically forced into his bed the night before by felix and held captive there all night, so hes well rested but still anxious lmao

minho is not well rested but he has a really good under-eye concealer and some espresso and thats basically the same thing so

felix ends up having to be the one who writes the email to the submission email because jisung is literally vibrating in his seat

tikki peeks out of his hoodie pocket, just so she can give him an encouraging wink

“sent!!!!! now do u wanna go get some ice cream? i’ll drive!!!”

what a sweetheart felix i lub u bye 

it’s an agonizing week

minho can’t listen to any of the songs so it’ll be a surprise for him whoever gets picked

and he Still. Misses. Ladybug. :((((((((((((((((

but then his dad comes into his room and announces that he picked a contest winner

“omg who is it dad”

“han jisung!!”

“:o”

yes jisung i knew u could do it :,)

so since minho actually knows him, he gets to be the one who tells jisung he won!!!!!!!!

he’s kinda nervous about it even tho he has no reason to be yike

but!!! he forges on like a true superhero!!!!

and in first period the next day before the bell rings he leans forward and taps jisung

jisung turns around with wide eyes, and he smiles when he sees it’s minho (jisung has a really familiar-looking smile, minho notices; it’s really pretty)

“hey hyung! whats up”

“oh uh uhm so u know the contest??? the song one?”

“… ye ah ?”

JISUNGS TREMBLING BYE

“well ,,,, u won!!! congratulations!!!!”

“ ? ? ?  ? ?? ? ? ? ?? ? hm?”

jisung is 110% sure that he misheard, bc him?? win???

????????

whomst?

“u won! the contest! ur song was selected! im really excited to listen to it! oh, and sing it! i’ll be honored!”

jisungs not rly sure whats going on to be honest

“i what?”

POOR MINHO AHJKSDFS

he just kinda looks toward felix, who was watching the exchange with a delighted smile, for help

felix gets the message, thankfully, and says “sorry he’s illiterate” to minho before standing up to reach fully over his desk and cupping jisungs face and smooshing his cheeks

“jisungie?”

“hm?”

“remember that song u wrote last week?”

“yeah”

“and remember the competition u entered it in?”

“yeah”

“ur song won!”

“are u sure?”

“yep!! im sure!!!”

“hmm …”

so felix lets jisung go, and jisung turns back to the front and opens his english notebook to start the drill

“give him, like, five minutes,” felix says to minho, who nods. “sorry, it’s just ,,, he has a hard time recognizing something he’s done is actually good”

JISUNG ;;;;;;; - me and minho and felix, simultaneously

true to felix’s word, five minutes later jisung’s head snaps up

he looks back to felix for reassurance, who just gives him an encouraging smile and a nod

jisung smiles back, tentatively at first but it  f l o u r i s h e s  into a breathtaking, full-face smile

wow omg he looks so happy

minho hasnt ever heard one of jisungs songs (he never even knew jisung wrote/composed songs) but he is so beyond glad jisung won just bc of that smile

then jisung glances at minho, who smiles too, and jisung flushes but still glows before he turns right back around, back straight and listening intently to the teacher talking about the difference between gerunds and participles

minho feels warm the whole rest of the day :,)

later that day :)))))

minho invites jisung over to the studio after school ends!! they have a song to work on, after all

jisung has to go home to grab his music stuff so minho offers to walk him home (what a GENTLEMAN) but jisung denies

“i dont want u to have to go out of ur way! i’ll just meet u there! text me the address?”

jisung gets a text later on from an unknown number that says forgot i didnt have ur number lmao!! got it from felix :) heres the address

jisungs heart goes OOF

he grabs his laptop and notebook and puts em in his tote bag

then he grabs some cookies and puts em in a tupperware container, then yeets that into his bag too cause brain food!!!!

he also snatches a hoodie bc it might be cold! and it’s his favorite hoodie, so it can kinda be a security blanket of sorts

jisung shoots felix a text going to minhos!!! wish me Luck, to which felix replies ;-) ;-) ;-) ;;;;-)

he slips in his earbuds for the walk over, and he smiles at nothing at all

hes just so happy!! it feels like nothing can go wrong ever!!! he’s getting to spend time with minho, talking about music!!!! two of his top five favorite things together!!!!! what could be better?

jisung doesnt realize the address minho sent him to was the actual jype building until he gets there and checks the address

D: D: D: D: HE WASNT PREPARED FOR THE JYP BUILDING

but!!! he takes a deep breath and forges on

he deserves to be here!!!!!!!!! he earned his place here!!!!!!!!

he goes to the second floor, to the recording room all the way at the end of the hallway, and knocks on the door

omg what if he sees a member of twice here??? he’d Combust

the door swings open, and there minho is!!!!! in all his glory!!!!! he’s put on a hoodie and it looks so boyfriend that jisung wants to cry

minho immediately invites him in, and omg what a studio :o it has a bunch of monitors and sound mixers and there’s a recording booth and it’s all so professional and shiny and jisung cant believe he gets to use all this :,,)

there are two rolly chairs and a couch, and there’s a candle burning on a shelf next to a christmas cactus in a pretty yellow pot

the window’s open, and the lights are on but not too bright

“is it too cold in here? i like having the window open, but it’s no trouble at all if you wanna close it, just let me know ok”

“no i totally love the energy in here! a+ creative atmosphere”

minho sits down then, so jisung takes the other rolly chair, and brings his laptop and the tupperware out of his bag, then his notebook and water bottle

“i brought cookies!! theyre lemon shortbread!”

“oh, awesome! thank you so much!”

minho’s shy grateful smile omg hes so cute

jisung logs onto his laptop and pulls up the audio file of his song, but when he hovers the cursor over play he feels so nervous

this was ok over email, but in person? being able to see minho as he hears jisung’s song? that just feels so so intimate ;;;

“hey, don’t worry, ok? your song beat out a lot of others to win. i know it probably seems awkward, and personal, but i’m not going to judge this, or you!”

how did minho know omg

jisung smiles and nods, “just so you know, i’m not like a trained singer or anything, so it’s not going to sound anywhere near as good as you will, and it’ll sound better once it’s produced in here, more polished and stuff, cause the stuff i have at home isn’t this professional.” he lets out a laugh that only lasts a breath before saying “ok” and starting the song

safe 2 say

minho is Shook

the beat like ,,,, fills up the room, with this reverberating, almost underwater-like quality

minho is Enchanted

and it’s almost at the eight-count mark, and it feels like jisung’s gonna start singing soon, and minho is Anticipation, and then

,,,,,,,yikeyikeyikeyik

jisung hears smth outside ,,, he pauses the song and looks at minho

“did u hear that”

“hear what”

he hears it again, and his instincts are telling him IT’S AN AKUMA IT’S AN AKUMA so he tenses up

and when the window shatters (and takes some of the wall around it with it) jisung was lowkey prepared for it so on reflex he basically launches himself at minho, trying his best to cover minho w his body

what a hero omg

lo and behold: it’s an akuma

the blast from the villain was (either intentionally or not) aimed at them

jisungs gotta transform but hes also gotta get minho to safety ;;

but minho is way ahead of him, grabbing jisungs hand and leading him across the building and down the stairs

“here, gotta get u to safety ,,, i think i know who the akuma might be aiming for, so you should be ok here ,,, i have to, um, i have to go now, but text me after just so i know ur ok!!” theyre outside now, a good distance from the jyp building

jisung just nods, and minho just throws a smile, then “im sure ladybug and chat noir will be here in no time! they’ll have it under control!!”

then minho says he has to go

jisung, internally: “No I Must Protect You”

jisung, externally: “omg ok but stay safe!!”

he realized he has to transform somehow, and he certainly doesnt have the guts to just leave minho here alone so

T I K K I ,  S P O T S  O N ! ! ! ! !

lets get this bread, han jisung!!!!!!!

chat noir is already there when jisung comes up

“yo”

“yo”

whats better than this? just guys bein dudes

“do u know what caused the akuma?”

chat noir nods

jisung waits

“r u gonna tell me?”

he just smirks, the bastard, then “ya so this guy at jyp, think his name is lee min-something, had a thing, like a contest?”

“lee minho, but go off i guess”

mihno, internally: “omg ladybug knows me”

minho, externally: “ya so the akuma’s probably aimed at whoever decided the results of the contest were. ppl can get really beat up about losing”

“yikes”

“yikes indeed,” chat noir says, then offers his arm to jisung. “shall we?”

ughf gentleman of the century

jisung takes it, rolling his eyes and definitely not smiling fondly at chat noirs antics

and together they jump into the fray!!!!

it’s going just like a normal battle when minho’s fixation on ladybug gets the best of him

the akumatized girl sees his distraction and trips him up before freezing him in place

minho honestly just is ready to die. hes Accepted it.

hes pretty sure ladybug isn’t looking at him and isnt going to, and he already used his cataclysm and he cant exactly shout for help so what can ye do

but he doesnt give ladybug enough credit, because there he is behind the girl, and the girl’s reaching down to grab minho’s miraculous (which is in his necklace) when ladybug yeets his yoyo so it ties the girl’s arms to her torso

jisung, internally: nOT. ON. MY. WATCH. NOT ON MY WATCH

jisung snatches her flash drive and snaps it in half, watching it clatter to the sidewalk and watching the black-and-purple butterfly fly away

TIME TO DE-EVILIZE!!!!!!!!! (de-evilize? de-evilise? idk)

jisung captures that akuma in his yoyo and then opens it back up, letting the now pure white butterfly fly off into the sunset

no more evil-doing for u, little akuma :)

and then jisung casts that spell 2 make everything return to the way it was

chat noir unfreezes, and he basically topples over, so ladybug with his Swift Reflexes of course has to catch him

they end up ,,, a lil close ,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,

;)

then chat noir’s necklace beep beeps so he straightens up, rubbin the back of his neck and coughin

they do their lil nerdy handshake of course, then chat noir waves and yeets himself out of there

and then jisung remembers

minho

he’s gotta get where minho left him so minho wont be suspicious!!!! so he finds another dark alley to de-transform and catches tikki in his hands when she falls, tired out of her lil mind :,,)

he promises to feed her cookies asap, but now he’s gotta find minho!!!

so he wanders out, trying to look as natural as possible

“jisung? jisung!!”

omg it’s minho

“i’ve been looking for u!!” minho says, like thats not an Earth Shattering Thing for jisung to hear “are u ok? u didnt get hurt, did you?”

“nope im all good!! what about u? where did u go?”

“i just had to make sure my dad was ok ,,, he was the target of the akuma ,,,”

“omg i hope hes alright!”

“hes been thru worse tbh ,,, but no matter now! it’s all in the past!! now i can finally hear your song!!!” minho looks so sincere and earnest and enthusiastic ugh this boy is not good for jisungs heart

“ ,,,, u ,,,,,,,, u still want to?” jisungs eyes are wide and his mouth is a tiny bit open which makes his cheeks even squishier and more adorable

“well only if ur still up for it! i know it’s been kinda chaotic but i think it’d be a nice end to the night, dont u?”

and rly ;;; who is jisung to say no to that

so they head back

minho keeps sneaking super subtle glances towards jisung

smth abt him seems …… different …. like not in a bad way at all, he just seems more confident now? his shoulders arent hunched over anymore and it looks like the shadows have left his face

confidence is a good look on him, minho decides

the studio seems very quiet after everything, but all of jisungs stuff is still there, and the atmosphere lightens up very quickly with minho cracking lame jokes and jisung giggling that adorable adorable adorable giggle of his

minho opens the window back up (it’s gotten a little colder, so jisung finally slips on his hoodie) and they sit down and both eat a couple cookies (jisung sneaks two in his pocket for tikki) and jisung drinks his water before sitting up in his seat, running a hand through his very soft-looking hair

jisung looks nervous again ;;;

so minho does what any good friend would do !!!!

grabs his hand

“hey, sung, don’t be nervous! i’ve already heard the beginning, and i’m honestly really impressed already ok?”

“really?” jisungs eyes are so wide and shiny and minho wants to protect Forever and ever

“of course! youre like super talented!!”

blushblushblushblush

jisung hits play

it’s even prettier than minho remembered

and when jisung starts singing, he feels a whole lotta air leave his chest

HIS VOICE IS SO SO GORGEOUS IT SOUNDS SO SWEET AND LOVELY BUT POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL AND EVERYTHING HOW IS JISUNG NOT AN IDOL YET

and the lyrics are so resonant, minho cant help but find himself relating a lot to what’s being said and a little part of minho’s mind is wondering if jisung wrote this song to him

minho’s lost, he’s so lost in the push and pull of the song, until

“and even if i’m slow, i’m worth the effort it takes to grow”

wh

wH

WHAT

minhos trying his best to keep it professional but it’s kind of hard because ??????????? LADYBUG SANG THAT LINE

ladybug sang that line

minho did research, and it wasn’t in any already-existing song

so it’s an original line

this is an original song, by jisung

???????

minho knows what it means

D: D: D: D: D:

he didnt think he was going to face the biggest event of his life tonight!!

even after the final beats fade out, minho cant stop staring at the monitor

“uhm ,,, ah, hyung, what did ,,,, what did you think?”

poor jisung sounds so nervous ;;;;;;;;

minho turns to face him, and yeah, his hair color’s the same as ladybug’s and they’re around the same height, and his smile is blindingly bright too and it’s shaped like a heart, and his eyes are the same

“i’ve heard that line before” minho says slowly and contemplatively and completely without context

“hm?”

jisungs hands are trembling so he stuffs them in his hoodie pocket, moving until tikki is pressed against his palm

the contact comforts him poor baby ;;;

“that line. ‘and even if i’m slow, i’m worth the effort it takes to grow.’”

minho’s eyes are looking so intensely into jisungs aaaaAAAAAAAAA

“wha-? but i’ve never written it? or published this anywhere? the only time i ever sang this in front of someone other than felix was –”

jisung looks like a deer caught in headlights

theyre staring at each other, barely breathing, each one afraid to say it in case theyre wrong

minho takes the first step, leaning forward in his chair until their faces are less than a foot apart

jisungs looking down at him now, and theres so much want in his eyes

“is it you?” jisung whispers into the air between them “are you …. are you my chat noir?”

his voice is so small now

“yeah, sung, i’m your chat noir, always, always yours”

minho reaches up to cup jisungs face and jisung lets him, jisung leans into the touch and closes his eyes for a moment, like he’s been wanting this for ages

he has lmao

“can you kiss me, then? my minho”

god jisungs smile could outshine anything

“of course, sung”

ladybug’s here, he’s right in front of minho, and in addition to the brave, wonderful, witty superhero with eyes like the stars and a heart-shaped smile minho fell head over heels for he’s also this talented, sweet, shy boy with eyes like the stars and a heart-shaped smile

minho kisses him

they fit so well together

jisung is so warm, and soft, and they taste like lemon shortbread cookies together

minho moves his other hand to jisung’s waist, then his back, and jisung slides his arms around minho’s neck, and this is everything they’ve ever wanted

minho’s wondered for so long how it’d feel to hold him

and he has his answer!!

it feels: incredible

minho cant stop smiling into their kiss so they break apart ;;;

then jisung starts smiling ;;;;;;;

theyre just smiling and soft and happy and in love

later, jisung asks what minho thought of the song

“it was so so good like im not even exaggerating it sounded so real? but like the actual music sounded so ,,, unreal. and like the lyrics were something i could relate to so much, and your voice is unbelievable, sung”

jisung buries his blushy face into minhos neck, whining

“im serious, you’re so talented”

felix cries for twenty minutes when jisung tells him everything that happened

(well … almost everything. not the superhero bit)

jisung ends up crying too,,, it’s been a long night for him

felix stays the night, but they dont end up having gotten a lot of sleep

it’s a lot of jisung soft ranting about minho and felix being the supportive bff we all know and love and appreciate

“ah, sungie” felix says at like 5am, when the suns starting to rise “im so happy for you”

theyre curled together on jisungs twin size bunk bed and ya it’s a lil cramped but who cares

jisung hides his big dumb beautiful grin in felixs shoulder

“thanks, ‘lix”

minho kisses jisung on the cheek when he walks in that morning and jisung trips over his love for minho

for real he barely function in class

minho just smiles at him adoringly

his bf is so cute bye

they work together on the final version of the song most days after school

the studio version minho was supposed to record ends up being a duet once minho drags his father in to listen to how well his and jisungs voices fit together

“we do fit well together, huh” jisung says, when he’s all done polishing it up, curling up into minho

minho kisses his temple (im so soft for that bye) and just softly says “yep! we do”

uh disclaimer im mixing all spidey boys in this one meaning its a combo of original, amazing spiderman, spidey tom holland, and the spideyverse one

joel DEFINITELY fits the role of spidey boy

lowkey a dweeb

lowkey cute as fuck

also he’s a gen z kid and has the same humor as peter

(that one scene where he’s like ‘oh nooo you’ve found my biggest weaknes...small knives...’)

ya thats joel 100%

super dorky and awkward around girls like peter too

he’s a student at your local college and attempts to flirt with you but ultimately fails 

like all the time

u know that one scene in spiderman: homecoming where peter has the mask on and is pretending to talk to liz? 

yeah joel does that

eventually u do find out he’s spiderman

listen it was an accident but also he sucks at keeping secrets???

so it wasnt ... that hard to figure out

he’s trying to flirt with u one day when he accidentally shoots out webs

his eyes widens and he starts laughing nervously and fumbling over his words (more than usual) 

“haHAHAAHA WOW DID YOU SEE THE WEATHER TODAY??? SO NICE HUH”

“...i mean its raining but i guess”

“oH yEah i mEan who doESn’t love sOMe rAIN???”

literally his voice is cracking HELL throughout this conversation

he wants to: big die bc god damn it why does he have to look dumb in front of you

after deciding to ignore how weird he’s acting you were ilke “well i love getting coffee on rainy days, wanna come?”

(bc u obvi had a crush on him too i mean who wouldnt look at the cute dork) (he obviously didnt know this)

he was like YES so fast

him to himself: “goddamn joel can u RELAX don’t scare her”

so u guys spend hours talking over copious amounts of coffee

this becomes a routine thing eventually

you guys going to your fave coffeeshop and doing hw and lowkey (highkey!!) flirting 

becoming bff’s that arent really just bff’s if u know what i mean

u start piecing things together when he starts leaving randomly after hearing sirens outside

or when he shows up to school the next day looking a bit more worn out and bruised than usual

so naturally being the nosy person u are

u go over to his house and sweet aunt may believes you when you say you have a project

so ur sitting there just waiting

and sure enough there’s spidey boy climbing thru the window

nearly screams when he see’s you curiously staring at him from his bed

“so... this is what you’ve been up to”

“hahaHAHAHA WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???”

attempting to cover up the spiderman costume 

which obviously fails bc he’s literally covered head to toe

eventually he just sighs and flops down next to you on the bed

“do you hate me?”

“how could i hate you i love spiderman”

well that caught his attention

“oh really now”

trying to act all cocky but u just shove him like 

“ya dont get excited dummy i CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT TELL ME”

“whoops?”

u guys stay up the whole night just talking about his spidey adventures with u yelling at him in between stories bc yOU CANT BELIEVE HE’D PUT HIMSELF IN DANGER LIKE THAT

aunt may finds you two cuddled up the next morning<3

pls let me know what you guys think!! spoiler if these first headcannons does well i’m thinking about expanding the series ... stay tuned to see ;))))

Sounds of Silence pt5

A/N: TW: mentions of assault and violence, stalking

They stood awkwardly in the aisle, watching Oichi find her way through the clothing racks, picking up clothes here and there. After what felt like hours (but was probably no more than 20 minutes) Oichi wandered back to them with a huge pile of clothes in her arms and took her arm to lead her towards the fitting rooms. She looked helplessly at Mitsunari while being dragged away and Mitsunari couldn't help but follow.

Almost as soon as the door to the fitting room closed after her, Mitsunari felt his phone buzz in his pocket.

<cant u do smthng abt miss Oichi>    <I don't think anything can save us from her anymore.> <ths is way 2 much> <cant affrd it>

Mitsunari glanced at Oichi who looked like she was eagerly waiting for her to come out of the fitting room.

   <Just roll with it and maybe we’ll make it back alive.> <ur tlkng like ths is a battle or smthng lol> <fine> <shes been so nice 2 me i dnt evn know hw 2 repay>

Several pairs of pants and skirts later Oichi handed her a sleeveless dress a wide smile on her lips.

“I’m sure it’ll look amazing on you. Go on, try it on!” Oichi ushered her back to the fitting room, but it took way longer than it should have for her to come out.

<i cant>    <It can’t look that bad.>

Slowly she opened the door and stepped out. The dress looked good on her, but it wasn't what drew his attention. There were faint finger marks on her neck and bruises on her arms.

Neither he or Oichi said anything. She turned her head away from them, hugging herself, but just when she was about to step back into the fitting room Oichi reached for her.

"It's a little cold for sleeveless clothes yet, don't you think?" Oichi draped a cardigan over her shoulders and offered her a smile. A smile she returned after a few seconds before bowing at her gratefully.

"I'm sorry," she said to him, "I didn't mean for you to see this..." She bowed to him as well, but he shook his head annoyed.

"It's not your fault what he did to you. Don't apologize."

"Sorry..."

"What did I just say?"

A silent laugh lit her face up. "Sorry, sorry!" she said again before she turned to Oichi and mouthed 'thank you'. "The dress really is nice, isn't it?" she asked, turning around in front of the mirror. All he could do was nod.

Somehow, Oichi managed to get bags filled with clothes for her, the poor bodyguards rendered to shopping assistants, their arms filled with shopping bags.

They were heading outside when he noticed she wasn't following them anymore. His heart made an uncomfortable thump before he spotted her at the electronics department, fingering large headphones excitement clear on her face.

He touched her shoulder to get her attention and she jumped a little bit, a sheepish smile replacing her surprise.

"People leave me alone when they know I can't hear them," she explained and was about to say something else when her eyes fell on a display a bit further down the aisle. "No way! They have the kitty ear headphones! I've wanted them as soon as I saw them!"

"Kitty headphones? Those are so cute! Do you want them?" Mitsunari was startled when he heard Oichi's voice next to him. He had been so mesmerized by her excitement he had completely missed Oichi’s arrival.

"Ahaha, I see this is the department I should have brought you for some stress relief shopping!"

The blush colouring her cheeks was so cute Mitsunari wished he could watch it all day. And the unguarded joy in her eyes when she finally held the headphones in her hands and tried them on was something that made him smile like an idiot.

***

The apartment she managed to find was already furnished. Something Mitsunari was sure Oichi had her fingers in but thought better of telling her about it. She felt bad enough already about all the things Oichi had done for her despite the fact it hadn't even been Oichi's idea to have her stay at the Oda residence.

The more she seemed to get her life back together, the lonelier Mitsunari felt. She had dragged him here and there to do some shopping, to her apartment to help her settle in, but now that everything was finished she mostly focused on working as much as possible.

His phone buzzed in his pocket in the middle of a lecture. He glanced at it to see who the message was from.

<can u pick me up frm wrk>    <I'm at a lecture now. See you at my place in 3 hours?>

He didn't usually message anyone back but it was unusual for her to message him during the day.

<no> <now> <hes here>

He nearly dropped his phone in his haste to get up. The whole class turned to look at him when he collected his stuff and rushed out of the lecture hall.

The wait for the bus seemed like forever. And the trip didn't go any faster, the minutes ticked slowly by until he finally reached the bus stop closest to the store she worked at and ran inside.

When he found her, she was with a coworker, her face red from crying. As soon as she saw him she stood up and hugged him, burying her face on his shoulder. His first instinct was to crush her to his chest and hold her tight, but somehow that turned out as an awkward pat on her back.

Her coworker motioned he needed to get back to work and slipped out of the break room. Mitsunari pushed her away from him to get a good look at her face.

"Tell me what happened?"

"He..." she started but her hands stopped as soon as she had started. She looked at him searching his face for something.

"You can tell me," he tried to encourage her to speak.

"He has been waiting for me outside. Every now and then. For three weeks now."

"Three weeks?! And you didn't think to tell me?" Mitsunari closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down. Now really wasn't time to lose his temper.

"I didn't want to worry you!" she tried to explain, biting her lip.

"This is exactly why I worry. You never tell me anything!" He ran his hand through his hair irritated before he continued. "So, what was different about today?"

"He came inside. He..." Her hands begun to tremble, but still, she continued. "He cornered me when I was alone. He asked 'did you think I wouldn't find you'. Here, I recorded it."

Mitsunari took her phone but looked at her sceptically.

"It translates speech into text." She held a small break before she continued. "I didn't want to read it."

He put the phone to his ear.

"-you, I know where you work. I have been very patient with you and given you plenty of time to return home now. How long do you plan to make me wait? Don't even think you can disappear. You know I'll find you no matter what, don't you? Hm, no, there's no problem, I was just talking to my wife. See you at home, darling!..." At the end of the recording, Mitsunari heard what he assumed to be her coworker's voice, asking her if she was okay.

It was clearly a threat. A threat his brain should have focused on. Instead, the words 'my wife' played in his head over and over again like an error code you couldn't get rid of no matter how hard you tried.

A touch on his arm rebooted him out of his momentary blue screen of death.

"Can you take me home?"

"No. We need to go to the police."

She shook her head, "No police. Just take me home."

Mitsunari closed the door behind him when they reached her apartment. She flopped on her bed face first and let out a deep sigh. Mitsunari sat next to her and tapped her shoulder.

"I think we need to talk," he said when she finally turned to look at him.

"Yeah..." she covered her face for a moment before she continued, "I've been meaning to ask. How did you find out my address?"

"I asked the librarians."

"And they gave it to you? Just like that?"

"No, they needed some convincing. But I told them I needed to return a book to you."

"That's like the lamest excuse ever." She sat up and crossed her legs before she continued. "Thank you for coming for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"You're married." It came out more like an accusation rather than a question like he had meant it to be. She stared at him her face blank.

"How did you know?" she finally asked.

"He called you his wife."

"I see." She stood up and turned her back at him. He stood up and tapped her shoulder to get her attention.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"But-"

"I'd like you to leave now." She walked to the door and held it open for him.

"What-" Mitsunari started baffled by this turn of events.

"Leave. Now." She pointed at the door and turned her eyes away from him.

Why was she being so difficult? Did she think this would change something between them? Sure, he was surprised by her being married, but nothing he'd done warranted such a cold behaviour towards him. The door slammed shut behind him leaving him alone in the hallway.

When he returned that night tired from training at the university dojo, he fell down on his bed. Maybe it would be good to retire early from time to time.

Except when he closed his eyes sleep refused to come. After an hour of twisting and turning in bed, he went to knock on Hideyoshi's door.

"Hideyoshi, can you talk?"

"Uh... sure... what is it?" Hideyoshi opened his door rubbing his eyes, a red pencil impression on his cheek. "Is this about her?"

Mitsunari didn't need to guess which 'her' Hideyoshi was referring to.

"Yes. She's married."

"She's what now?"

"I didn't realise your hearing comprehension was so terrible. She's married. To the man, she claimed to be her boyfriend."

"Uh... yeah... okay... Just... give me a moment."  Hideyoshi rubbed his eyes again and yawned, "So she's married. What's the problem?"

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"Did you ask her?"

"... No."

"Well, there you have it. It really isn't that surprising considering her situation. She might be worried people try to push her to get back together with him."

Mitsunari stared at Hideyoshi in shock. Somebody would actually do something like that? Hideyoshi let out another big yawn.

"Look, if that was it, I really need to get some sleep. Good night, Mitsunari." he closed his door and after a few minutes, Mitsunari could hear soft snores.

Two days later he was at the library, trying to concentrate on reading. But his thoughts kept going to her again and again until he picked his phone up.

   <I don't care if you're married.>

He stared at the message for a while before he pressed send. Her reply came after a few minutes.

<I know ur lying>    <I’m not. I just want to know why you were lying about it.> <i rly dnt wnt 2 tlk abt ths> <i lost my job>    <What?> <the mngr dnt wnt 2 get into trbl> <dnt wrry i found a nw 1> <and they paid me a mnth slry>    <How can they just fire you?> <mde me resgn. didnt wnt mre trble>    <I'm so sorry.>

He cringed as soon as he sent the message. How did apologies sound so bad in text.

<naaah s cool> <knew it wld happen evntually> <wanna grab some coffee tmrrw> <at tht european coffee dwnstrs>    <Yes. What time?>

He was so relieved she still wanted to see him. He hadn't even realised how worried he had been until he felt the tension leave his body.

***

The next day he hurried to the cafe after his lectures were over. She was already sitting there, headphones on her ears, her nose in a book.

He was only relieved Oichi's annoying friend and his fellow student wasn't on shift today. He didn't need her "encouragement" on his... non-date. Definitely not a date. Just two friends meeting over a cup of coffee.

He sat his cup down on the table and tapped her shoulder gently. She jumped a little bit and put her book down. Only then he noticed she had put some lip colour and his eyes were drawn to her lips. To her beautiful and very kissable lips.

"Sorry, I didn't see you at all. I was just getting at a good part." She took her headphones off and put them on the table.

"It's okay. How was your day?"

"Boring." Her phone on the table buzzed with a new message. "Except for that."

"What's 'that'?" he felt his brows furrow and he looked at her phone which buzzed with a new message.

"I ran into one of my friends and gave her my new number. Now she and my other friends keep messaging me."

"It's... nice they want to be in touch." Did that mean she didn’t need him anymore? Was that why she hadn’t been in touch for the last few days?

“I wish...” She unlocked her phone and pushed it towards him. The screen was filled with messages.

<he misses you so much how can you do this to him>

<do you have any idea how this will affect his career???>

<stop telling lies about him you cunt>

<ungrateful bitch>

His mouth felt dry as he read the hateful messages that seemed to go on forever.

“How long... how long have you received messages like this?”

She poked at her cake with a fork and sighed.

“About two weeks now. Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.” The way she pursed her lips and the angry poke her cake received told him it was a big deal. To be betrayed by the people you thought you could trust the must hurt. Did hurt.

this is an anons larry break up theory and its long so im putting it under a cut jskdkkc

Anonymous said: Hey I saw you were doing timelines so I thought Id send you my take: So I think Larry were v tghtr, (like not the BL fantasy where the only fight was over who loves who The Mostest! I think u can see there were issues - like those larry stylinson triangle vids did catch some early truths imo- but they were truly madly deeply In Love) until TIU promo season. ¼  

2/4 And then I think at TIU promo you can start to see the cracks - I reckon H was being courted heavily by HW from the time the rushes of ‘This Is Harry’ were floating around. Plus I believe Azoff senior has been in the picture for longer than most think and far from being an enemy of OT, prob had a hand in the US mkting since early on. The Kdash connections start very early. But I think they really started their push for Holo, summer 13- and I think Pa*ge was Jefe first set up. I also think H

¾ was cagey as fuck and kept Pa*ge and all the solo offers and meetings 'close too his chest’ and hence Figi and what happened to L after the Haige picture came out. So I think late 2013 was v rocky and then they tried to spend new years tghtr but H spent the whole time networking and still being real evasive about his intentions, so L bailed and they were deadass on a break til April/May 14. Also with band stuff I think there were crisis meetings. They were so tense and off at the Brits

4/4 that it sent the break up rumours into overdrive and then there were those meetings in LA and that nasty Azoff and her #TeamHarry shit stirring. But in the end obv they sorted things. I think from May to Four promo they were more solid than ever but then BS 2.0 and my headcannon is that something happened with Zourry then that just set everything since in train. The change in Harry is from then and idk what it was whether it was Zouis not trusting Azoffs and not wanting to follow their plans

5/yikes!sorry! Or if H felt embarassed by BS2.0 ( I do think he has a v fragile ego)Anyway I think there were plenty of people just waiting on a chance to seperate H from the others and they seized the day. As for everything since Jan 2015 im a big ??? Every theory I come with Im like, but whatabout? All I know for sure is Azoffs are manipulative pieces of shit, H sold his soul for ½ Zs sales and Ls been through hell but still looks healthier than the real dark days of 2014 .

tbh i dont agree with most of this. but it actually is really interesting and like, i dont think they were really broken up at that point like you, but i do think harry started to change at that point. i cant see them being broken up in 2013 purely for the reason that harry would always like, subtly allude to them as a couple, y’know (with the still the one stuff). and the triangle videos i know.. i think about that a lot but i dont think those are like an accurate representation idk, harrys always been like that really (doesnt mean its good!). thinking about it, like, i dont know if i agree, but the azoffs being bts for longer than we know makes sense. especially with his promo now, like, the haige stunt fits, y’know. the kdash ehhh i dont know. but the wanting harry solo in 2013 i absolutely absolutely agree. i dont even think its a question. most of the gp could him wanting to be solo, and he was doing a ton of solo writing and recording in 2013 too like. and then he said they should take a break in late 2014, right? obviously he had to think about that for a while so at least in early-mid 2014. its possible they were on a break idk but i know louis’ behavior was really really bothersome. thats why i think like.. harry changed around this time and louis got pissed i guess. so i guess they did take a break? but if anything i dont think they took a break until like late july-august 2014. but the crisis meetings i AGREE so much. like theres so much unexplained stuff about concerts and during tour and award shows like if hl were tense it literally can only be explained by them being a couple having issues, y’know. i agree with that. obviously i disagree with where you think they were the most solid.. i think thats where they were either broken up or leading to being. bs 2.0 kinda confuses me because i can totally see that causing issues, but then louis got the dagger like two weeks later so??? i think they broke up sometime in december i think. rip. but i do think zayn caused issues with them.. since the very beginning. harrys jealousy, zayn leaving and allegedly wanting to bring louis, etc etc. and yeah the last part about ??? i know. its because everythings behind the scenes and like no one truly knows. it makes me head hurt. thats why i find it easiest to like.. say harry led louis on in 2015.. because personally i can see him doing that because of his ‘new’ personality and like who he is surrounded by. but it also explains a lot imo. and the last sentence i TRULY KNOW. like. louis is much much much better off.. even with all the awful shit thats happened to him lately, hes still not SO stressed, you know what i mean? im happy for him and i just want the best for him. and the azoffs and harry can just have fun dreaming of what they could be i guess.
