#and i think it might be because theyre not afraid to push his expressions more? and his unrealistic facial structure helps with that

[skylordhorus]

don bluth’s animation style fascinates in how it is both fluid and kinda.. lifeless?? at the same time

[sunshine-in-a-bottle]

wait no listen to me

Listen Seth/Eirika is so valid but when you play twin characters, the female one being so Unknowing and Innocent and needing a man to explain everything to her all the for the majority of her arc (Seth) while the male twin is fucking going buckwild being insane answering to no one I'm squinting at you suspiciously. Maybe let Eirika be capable of things on her own. Please. At least make it so Seth isn't doing exposition every chapter.

What was Eirika going to even do when Ephraim was being put through the ringer being told to be king?? Like he's being trained for that, whats she bring trained for??? What, was she gonna just be There. Let her talk about her training to be a diplomat for her Kingdom or her wanting to be on the ground taking care of her people. She can be unsure, but I want a resolution with this that isn't just her fucking off with her partner with no mention of what her life would have been if this whole story hadn't happened. Shes a female lord, please let her be a main character in her own story and not an excessively focused on Support for Ephraim.

Seriously I want some better explanation for why Eirika, the person who obviously cares more about politics and the kingdom, is being passed up for Ephraim, who was shown to be super self-centered and running away from his role until he realized that actually he was kind of being a bastard and needed to give a shit about his kingdom. Its great character development for him, sure, but if you give birth to twins, why aren't you letting the one with the greater aptitude for ruling be trained for it??? What would have happened if Ephraim had never learned to do better??? Like I could say its in-universe sexism but I don't really want that to be the reason because sexism in this world isn't well explored and going with that feels shallow.

I'm not saying Eirika has to be Queen because ultimately I think she could do a lot more as someone On The Ground Seeing The People, but I need more well written thought put into her life.

The portraits changing expressions like they have in the more recent games would be so great for her, I need her to have a raised eyebrow as she says "I can't help you with your image problems, Innes." please give her really emotional and expressive portraits that put her sass and humor full on display she deserves it. She is not just the vaguely smiling kind princess she is so funny and she has mischief in her heart. Look at her making fun of Forde. Please give this to me.

I need them to give us some high quality Eirika/L'Arachel. I don't care if it becomes canon I just need more of them in general. Maybe a little kiss. Actually wait I'm in charge. They get an Ending Together where they either get married or theyre really gay. I want an ending like that for Ephraim and Innes too.

the games tend to treat the twins and Lyon as if they were childhood friends despite them only knowing each other for like two years and its really funny, but I might have them push it to be childhood friends just because I don't see any reason why not to do that. Have them meet every summer but never through the winter, allowing Lyon to feel the cold lacking of their presence. Let them be really intense about each other. Give me more friendship content. Give me Lyon's issues for Longer and More. He can fit so much long-term angst inside him.

Don't remove Eirika's gentleness and kindness. Ever. This whole story should be her having to test her faith in Good Kind Love And Friendship against the horrors of war and the betrayal of allies and friends. I love her wrestling with that and being so afraid that she might be wrong, that people might not be inherently good, but still pressing on with her ideals and ultimately being rewarded for that with peace being restored. But also-

Eirika still gives Lyon the stone in her route and its fucked up and I think with this cool updated models stuff we can really get into this idea that shes being tricked and her kindness is being used against her. Give Lyon this really fucked up half corrupted model with Monster Edelgard vibes, let scales and claws and darkness be seeping out of him. Really hammer home the idea that this is a corrupted man and that there's so many stories where you can bring people back from the brink, and Eirika is a person who believes in that. Honestly even foreshadow it with stories of happy endings and codexs on the Five Heroes and their journey, character we don't even get to know much about. Make any person who doesn't already know how this is going to end really believe they can help Lyon and feel Eirika's devastation when they realize they can't.

Also I think they should flex more on the twins opposing flaws??? Like, Eirika gives too much, more than she can afford. Ephraim gives too little, hurting the people around him for his goals. (Important note: Martyrdom is in fact a flaw and Eirika's flaw isn't "better" than Ephraim's, see the issue with Lyon's betrayal above. There is such a thing as not being selfish enough, and its called lacking self preservation. People are not heroes for lacking self preservation.) Like I want more parallels being drawn between these two other than "will stab you vs will talk to you". We get TWO LORDS we need to USE THIS.

Seriously we need more lore about The Five Heroes and maybe even Nada Kuya. Some background murals at least. Please god give me Magvel lore we're never going to get another game set in this region I at least want crumbs.

Maybe uhhhh touch up Colm and Neimi's supports a bit. Just a little. A tiny bit less mean mayhaps.

Why don't Eirika and Tana get to kiss?????

Tana needs to get more too actually please give her so many things in life she deserves it, she has Innes as her brother.

Innes needs therapy but he's never going to get it so I think we should have a map with rain so we can leave him out there soaking wet like a sad pathetic cat. I think this would be good for him.

Marisa and Tethys should have an ending where they kiss. Alternatively they still kiss but Gerik also gets to be there sometimes and he's a bottom.

Joshua should be required to attend to that final conversation with his mom if he is in the party, and his mom should get the chance to be really dramatic with her master swordfighting and land a crit on someone if she must die. I want her taking out hoards of enemies before falling. I want the player to be in awe of her and really upset she can't be in the party because of how op she is.

Lets get more Knoll. Lets get more Selena. Lets get some more Syrene even. I want more dialogue and lore from Everyone who got minimal focus or was a latecomer this time around.

Monica should still be entirely offscreen and youd should be left to imagine how fucked up

I need them to make an update of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones but I'm in charge of all the writing decisions. They disrespected my girl Eirika so fucking badly the first time around, I'll fight them

[royalty-of-all-things-snuggly]

my sibling goes by they/them and says that theyr nonbinary. they refuse to let me call them their preferred name that they tell everyone else to call them and refuse to call me by my preferred name/pronouns. is this transphobic?

Hi anon, 

I can understand how this is a tricky situation to navigate. I am happy to try to help, but I want to preface my response by first saying that I am not an expert; I do not know you or your sibling, nor do I know other factors that may be affecting their actions. I will try to help to the best of my ability, and I hope that my response will help you resolve the problem. 

First, I cannot speak for why your sibling does not want for you to refer to them by their preferred name. For this, I would suggest asking them directly why they want you to use their deadname for them. Explain that you would like to use their preferred name because you want to respect and support their gender identity, and ask them at a time when both of you have time to sit down and have a conversation without any major distractions or stressors. You may want to plan out what you want to say beforehand if you think that will help you feel more prepared for and comfortable during the conversation. Allow them to explain their reasoning, and don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if you need to. Try to be conscientious of your wording so that it does not come off as confrontative. After they have explained, you may want to ask again whether they would be comfortable with you using their preferred name for them, or if they might prefer for you to use their preferred name only around certain people (e.g. around friends but not family). If they do not want to tell you their reasoning even once you have expressed that you support them and want to respect their gender identity, then I would not suggest pushing them to answer. Respect their decision, even if you do not understand it. 

Second, it is not okay for any reason other than to protect you or themself from harm for them to refuse to call you by your preferred name and pronouns. Just as you are trying to respect their identity, they should afford you that same respect. Your identity is worthy of that respect, anon, and I am sorry that they have not given it to you. To hopefully change their ways of referring to you, I’m afraid the only thing I can suggest would again be to sit down and have a clear conversation with them. Explain that even though they do not wish for you to use their preferred name and pronouns, you would still like for them to use yours. While respecting your gender identity should be a given, explicitly stating your wishes in a conversation is the only way I can currently think of to spur them to amend their behavior. Again, you may want to prepare what you want to say beforehand, and choose a time when you can both devote your attention to the conversation. 

In summary, even if you do not understand their choices regarding their own name, respect them, but also know that you are worthy of the same degree of respect, and don’t be afraid to ask for that respect. I hope that this response helps, anon, and I hope that you and your sibling are able to resolve these issues soon. I wish you the best of luck <3

[donnieluvsthings]

gonna rant about sanders sides plot bc i think about it all the time and need an outlet okay here we go. this got super long so most of it is under the cut.

fyi: i talk a lot about patton and virgil and how theyre doing. i dont think i paint either of them negatively and if i did its not on purpose bc i love them both but just be aware!! also this is just my interpretations/predictions and i wanted to share but its not The Only Acceptable Interpretation and if u disagree then obviously thats fine lol

so i keep thinking about the conflict between virgil and patton. clearly something is weird. i think it probably started when virgil asked patton to stop treating him like “some innocent harmless angel” at the end of LNTAO.

i actually think this was a good interaction—virgil was trying not to hurt patton’s feelings but also was expressing something he was uncomfortable with and he succeeded in my opinion. and patton doesn’t argue, just immediately goes “okay, virgil!” like he says his name, no nickname, no kiddo. he starts trying instantly to check himself and respect virgil’s wishes.

then in embarrassing phases their interactions seem a little more...tense? i’ll list the ones that stick out bc lists are Fun:

patton fakes being scared. virgil: “don’t patronize me” patton: “you mean pantronize” virgil: “whatever!!”

patton corrects himself from saying “bat winged cherub” to “bad....boy” while virgil shoots him a look like we just talked about this

virgil’s talking about how his style is a relic from thomas’ emo phase. patton: “we’re basically style twins!! look out just a couple of cool guys comin thru!” virgil: “okay, patton” patton: “um! sorry...”

virgil seems aggravated, probably bc patton is still treating him like a poor lil anxious baby when the whole point of this episode was virgil showing that they can’t just ignore his role as anxiety. they may be friends now but virgil’s past attitude is still part of him. one could say he doesnt want them to ignore the “dark side” of his presence. wink wink. this could be him maybe building up to revealing that he used to be a dark side, subtly preparing thomas for it.

then SvS. patton and virgil don’t interact directly except at the start and during the trial, but it doesn’t seem as strained. this is probably because theyre both on the same side when it comes to deceit—and i think thats important. in svs, both patton and virgil are anti-deceit, and like patton pointed out in LNTAO, “anxiety and morality are telling you the same thing,” which seems to signal to thomas that he should listen.

also in SvS, janus alludes to the fact that virgil was a dark side and is hiding it:

“so you’ve never been reluctant to share anything with the group?”

“dont.”

“what, i just meant your name!”

“dont.”

“maybe that’s why its so easy for you to see me for what i am! like i said before, it takes a liar to know a liar.”

i’m 90% sure he didn’t just mean virgil’s name. virgil is clearly distraught about where this conversation is headed and that just doesn’t line up with him being hesitant to share his name. his fears over his dark persona and reluctance to share his name have been addressed multiple times, so what does he have to be scared of? unless janus is talking about virgil being a dark side.

moving on! in DWIT, again, theyre both kinda anti-remus. theyre both afraid of him, and as logan points out, theyre both part of why remus is so powerful as intrusive thoughts. they dont argue much; virgil spends most of this ep arguing with logan, actually, which is interesting bc he and logan seem to have one of the closest friendships in the show.

in this episode, there’s a few final pushed that i think lead virgil to confess he was a dark side.

first remus reveals his own name and says “i would never hide anything from you!” and sends virgil a little glance. virgil looks uncomfortable. then, around the 31 minute mark, logan says “you can always talk to someone...subjects who talked about their thoughts often felt better emotionally and physically.” and you can see virgil looking around like he’s realizing something.

and then he reveals himself at the end of this episode. just to thomas, but i’m assuming all the other sides would know as soon as thomas himself does, right? if they didn’t know already. what sticks out to me is that he specifically waits until the others leave. he doesn’t want to say it directly to them. and as for how this connects to the patton-virgil stuff...patton might think virgil doesn’t trust him/doesn’t want to open up to him. and/or virgil actually doesn’t want to open up to patton as much anymore.

then in healthy distractions, we clearly see that something is up between virgil and patton.

patton: “how could he feel b-a-d with his inner d-a-d?” virgil: “i can think of a few ways”

patton: “thomas made his decision and i think we should all just try to settle into it” virgil: “how are you telling me to settle into something right now when you have taken your sweet time to settle into things that you were uncomfortable with in the past”

so honestly i don’t really know what virgil’s talking about?? does he mean the events of moving on and the whole breakup situation?? or maybe he’s calling patton out for taking so long to drop the “angel baby” nicknames/treatment. or its implying that patton didnt know virgil was a dark side and is still coming to terms with it/coming to terms with the fact that virgil didn’t want to tell him & the other sides directly.

or he’s referencing something we don’t know of. either way, their relationship is obviously strained rn and it isn’t entirely clear what the turning point was between DWIT and ATHD.

then we come to the new episode. virgil doesn’t appear in POF at all, not even a cameo. i think thats the first time this has happened since accepting anxiety part 1. the only reference to him is the purple time-clock during the mario sequence and other smaller inclusions in the other video game parts. and then what happens in this episode?

patton realizes selfishness can be good sometimes. he accepts that the world, and thomas’ view of it, are not as black-and-white as he wanted to believe in svs. it wasnt a matter of “callback = bad vs wedding = good” bc thats not how the world works. beyond that, he accepts janus.

and i’m gonna bring up the idea that virgil is super mean and gets away with it. its true that the other sides, especially patton, are hesitant to correct him or reprimand him, which i think is bc theyre afraid of making him think they hate him. this idea could even be in the forefront of their minds if they really are that impacted by virgil not telling them he’s a dark side.

the thing is...virgil IS mean sometimes and he DOES get away with it. often, its just directed at janus or remus, and the other sides don’t WANT to disagree. when its directed at the other sides, i’m not sure its taken entirely to heart, regardless of whether it should be or not.

and we all know how virgil feels about janus. suspicion, anger, and aggression are all things virgil expresses towards janus from the moment he appeared as patton in CLBG.

so this all has been building up to me saying that the virgil-patton conflict has now become a virgil-patton-janus conflict. virgil and janus’ past is going to clash with patton and janus’ new alliance, which will strain the already tense relationship between virgil and patton. even worse, now roman is firmly in the anti-janus field, which will likely feed virgil’s anger, especially if he also blames patton for hurting roman.

and if we DO go to roman’s room next, and janus shows up, and the situation worsens...we might have a full blown “patton & janus vs virgil & roman” level argument on our hands.

i think virgil’s gonna be aggressive towards janus, as he has been, but when thomas and patton don’t dismiss him—when they call him by his NAME, not just “deceit”—we’re gonna get a rehash of “are you seriously siding with deceit?” except this time roman won’t be the one saying “are you seriously so closed minded to think that everything said by someone you dont like is automatically untrue?”

the other sides—or patton and thomas at the very least—are going to see that virgil’s blatant dislike of janus is not entirely warranted. and keep in mind that we still don’t know what happened between virgil and janus to make virgil hate him, so maybe it IS warranted. but its clear now that janus is trying to help (assuming he’s not lying which i rly hope he’s not lol) and i dont think its fair to thomas for virgil to want to disregard everything janus says. thomas and patton will realize this and they’ll have to confront virgil about his treatment of janus. we just haven’t gotten there yet.

its gonna be wild, honestly. i want janus to be fully accepted but it might be a while until we get there, just like patton took a while to understand the whole “grayscale morality” idea, and how its probably gonna take a while for virgil (and janus, tbh) to move on from whatever happened between them in the past.

i also believe this is headed towards a sympathetic everyone ending where theyre all important to thomas, acknowledged by him as important, and all actively working together, no dark sides or light sides, just sides. so yeah

basically, the next few episodes will probably be an explosion of all these char tensions and its probably gonna get worse before it gets better, and thats not even considering logan angst, creativitwins angst, or the orange side. but i think (and hope) it’ll all be fine and im hyped to see where this series goes :p

[emptynarration]

Headcanons about my version of Dark

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NEARLY ALL OF THESE HCS ARE FROM TWO YEARS AGO thank

// “Headcanon” about my Dark:

// He is in the body of Damien, not the DA

// They basically swap roles in chapter three, were they were arguing about going to the groundskeeper or not. Damien relents going outside, but only if the DA stays with Celine.

// Dark is primarily the dark entity that was the house/manor had been. It’s the glue holding everything together and alive

// But it needs the parts of Damien and Celine to survive and have enough power to hold everything together and functioning. Thus not only the bad parts of them are in the body, but more of them.

// Things such as memories are lost to Dark. He has no distinctive memories of Damien’s or Celine’s life. He has the “memories” of what he had done when it was just the dark entity in the house/manor.

// But feelings stayed. The dark entity only had been able to feel rage and anger, hate and jealousy and Schadenfreude. But now it gained the feelings of Damien and Celine, all that it hadn’t before. Happiness, joy, love, sorrow, sadness, lust, etc. And those feelings pushed the worse ones, the ones it only could feel before, in the background, in favor of exploring the nice ones // Thus making my Dark so nice

// Dark does have a shell too

// It’s, like, the mixture of three powers mixed into one trying to maintain a normal human looking form // It usually cracks when Dark is feeling strong forceful emotions. Like anger or sadness, usually only. Because both of those can be expressed differently // And Dark’s soul-parts usually disagree on how to express their anger/sadness, so the shell cracks

// When his shell breaks, it is very painful for Dark actually. He can feel the pain of his broken bones from falling down a balcony, the pain of having gotten shot in the stomach. He can feel his very own being tearing at itself and apart -which would kill him // When his shell breaks, usually the dark entity bleeds out through the cracks and swallows everything. Which leaves the body behind in pain with two soul parts trying to settle down again

// If you were to find him in that state, he’d have no idea who he is. Neither Dark, nor Damien, nor Celine will spark any kind of memory. The dark entity has mostly left the body, so left are the leftovers of the two human’s souls. // Mayor or Seer might spark a response though. // All Dark really needs in that state is to calm down his feelings. The two soul parts need to calm down and agree on how to feel and express themselves, without fighting basically

// If you know him well enough, you could probably manage to talk with just one soul part. It’d be near impossible probably for one of the soul parts to be in control when the entity is back to hold them together, but it is possible

// if you find him with a broken shell, talking with just one soul part and trying to get what that art is feeling through and the other soul to stay silent, then you can better talk with it, until the entity comes back. Getting the soul part to stay in control is hard though

// There are days, and times, when a soul part can be in control without having the shell broken before hand. It usually happens after sleeping, and mostly never lasts long

/ have some more smaller headcanons:

/ Dark is constantly cold. Like, he’s cold to the touch. He’s basically a dead body, so he has no body heat himself. Or, not a lot of it. / He can get warm though, with warm showers/baths or being near something warm (like a fireplace, a heater, etc.)

/ Dark can bleed, but his blood is thicker than normal blood, and much much darker. (Ofc it’s also monochrome but shh) / Wounds heal very very badly on their own, so anything more or less bad needs to get stitched up to help it heal better. / Though he can use his powers to heal, but he doesn’t like it much

/ Dark can’t see colours. He sees everything in monochrome, as if the saturation was turned down, ya know? / He would be able to see the red and blue of his shell though

(next comes what i just typed up today)

after years of having this exist and half forgetting half remembering Let’s add some more headcanons to this bad boy!

/ continuing off the “can’t see colours”: it’s because of his aura. / dark can control his aura to some extend. he can let it spread out, or pull it back close to him. the most he can do is pull it so close to him that he himself is the only thing affected. this causes him to not being able to see colour. / his aura, when spread out, turns everyhting it touches monochrome. being inside of it is cold, and the ringing and creaking sounds are rather prominent. / if a person just enters the aura, or the aura spreads over them, it feels like being dropped into ice-water, though slowly gets a little better. its constantly chilly though

/ his body is covered in very faint “scars”, which look like broken glass shards. they start from around the gunshot wound in his stomach, and are spread out. They stop at his collarbones, close to his wrists and close to his ankles. They’re able to be hidden pretty well with long sleeves/long pants/etc. / these scars originated from his shell cracking, and especially breaking. when his shell cracks, they tend to hurt then, but not as badly as when the shell breaks

/ when his shell breaks, his aura spreads like a flood, and further than dark usually lets it. it turns everything into freezing temperatures, going so far as to actually freeze things, making it very hard to get to him to attempt help / when his shell is broken, his (grey) skin seems darker than normal, while his scars spread a little, and appear to glow slightly / his appearance is hard to grasp with a broken shell. he still seems like who he was before, while also appearing more like a mix of damien and celine -a sort of androgynous mixture, in a way

okay little headcanons time:

/ dark really likes to knit for relaxation! it’s quite calming, and a good break from everything else

/ he handles all the legal paperwork they have to do. mostly its for wilfords/bims/jims/etc studio space, as well as theyre “employees” and such. a lot of it is masking murders, disappearances, and such that the egos caused though. / dark also takes care largely of their home. it is a rather.. “magical” space, you could say. a lot of it comes from the entity’s influence, so dark has to keep check on that

/ he’s a pretty bad cook, actually. while he enjoys the act, he prefers to help someone instead of doing it all by himself. he’s not so good at cooking by himself.

while we’re on that topic:

/ Dark has no need for food, actually. His body is already dead, and survives largely off of the entity holding it all together. / Which also means that he doesn’t actually need to breathe. it’s a comfort thing to do so, especially because his brain likes to believe he actually needs to breathe. / sleep is technically also not necessary for survival, but, it makes living a lot easier. it gives his broken body a rest, as well as his mind.

okay what else...

/ dark is afraid of heights. very badly. / he’s also afraid of guns, and gets startled quite badly by loud, sudden, bang like noises

/ his bed is as soft as clouds look like, and he uses weighted blankets. he needs his mattress to form to his body to not shift it around, and the weight on top of him is a very big comfort. lay down on top of him pls

/ he’s used to fidgeting with his collar, and running his hands over the material of his suit is comforting to him

now, last but not least, p a i n

/ dark is always, at the very least, aching. his limbs feel heavy, and a lot of movements tend to hurt. / he has good and bad days. On good days, his pain is very tolerable, and doesn’t bother him much.

here’s some things that can be during bad pain days:

/ dark can lose finer motor skills, struggling with writing and holding utensils. / he can have problems with moving his arms. ranging from every movement of his arms hurting, to being unable to move them at all. / on very bad days, dark may be unable to move completely, paralysis setting in. it limits him to only head movements, which likely also hurt. he spends these days just laying in bed attempting to sleep it away / he only rarely struggles with his legs, thankfully. he has days where walking is hard, and he uses his cane to help him move.

i think that’s it úwù

♦️Word count: 3,981

♦️Story: Finals are done and you finally have proper time with your boyfriend Jaehyun but he barely pays you any attention. He won’t even give you a kiss you because of a stupid mobile game.

Note: A request by anon for bf!Jaehyun. Also, yeaaah, this isn’t proof read, sorry for the shitty aftercare and the shitty writing in general lol. Tell me what you guys think, please! I’d love feedback so I can improve hehe <3

"Kiss me." You say as you push yourself up closer to your boyfriend’s face, who was currently focused on his phone as he laid next to you in your bed, playing whatever mobile phone game he was addicted to with the guys. It was kind of annoying, really.

 You purse your lips and make kissy sounds, making him chuckle. You roll your eyes at him but he doesn’t notice, because he was too focused on his phone. You couldn’t believe how he’d rather play with his phone and his friends rather than spending time with you, his girlfriend, despite it being a free Sunday for the both of you. Finals were fucking finally over for all of you after the two of you, along with your friends had spent every day studying (more like cramming) to try and ace your tests.

 It was safe to say the two of you hadn’t had sex in a while. Plus, this was your only time alone together after a while as your roommate, Jihyo was on a date with her boyfriend, Eunwoo. Jihyo was a bit anal about you bringing in Jaehyun to your dorm to have sex after she had caught you and Jaehyun fucking a few times (it was more than a few times, honestly). You couldn’t hold it against her because she never had sex with Eunwoo in your dorm. Ever. Or not that you know of.

 You pinch Jaehyun’s side, making him yelp but he barely spares you a glance. You pucker your lips again and make kissy faces at him, trying to annoy him more than anything at this point. Jaehyun tilts his head towards you, eyes still focused on the screen of his phone as he blindly pecks at your face, kissing your nose instead of your lips like you wanted to.

 Feeling annoyed, you grab the phone out of his hands and turn it off. You set his phone on your nightstand, straddle him and cup his cheeks, squishing and pinching it with your hands. His hands automatically make his way to your hips as he looks up with you with a less than pleased expression.

 “I was about to beat Mingyu and Jungkook, you know,” he grunts in annoyance, taking hold of your hands that started to pinch his cheeks painfully. He pulls your hands off his cheeks and intertwines his fingers with yours.

You laugh, “Baby, today’s our free day. You can kill them some other time!” You started to grind your hips against his, testing the waters. You really wanted to take advantage of the time alone you had with the love of your life and do anything and everything you’ve wanted to do for the past few weeks. Also, fucking the built up stress away wasn’t a bad idea.

 Jaehyun watches you, grinding and circling your hips, almost as if he was hypnotized. He bit his lip and gives you a pointed look, “I thought we weren’t allowed to have sex here anymore?”

 You lean back and shrug, “Jihyo isn’t here anyways. What does she know?”

 “Well Jungkook and Mingyu know how important my ranking is in that game to me. And they know I’m here with you.” Jaehyun chuckles, “they’re already probably going off in the group chat that we’re already fucking and you know Eunwoo’s in the chat too.”

 You stop grinding on him, and sighed before blowing a raspberry, “I honestly don’t give a shit. Jihyo knows I’m putting RuPaul’s Drag Race over everything, including you so I could just say I forced you to watch.”

 Jaehyun scoffs and looks at you as if he’s offended, “so you mean to say you finished the season we were watching WITHOUT ME?” He lets go of your hands and holds onto your thighs, squeezing.

 You explode in laughter, knowing well that Jaehyun took offense in it. You both were big fans of the show that you’d do marathons of it together, especially the most recent All Stars season. “Trinity-“

 He puts up a finger to your lips, “ok, spoiler queen. I don’t need to know. I’ll watch it for myself.”

 “No, I’ll tell you right now! Trinity and Monet-“

 Jaehyun puts his hands over his ears, closes his eyes and starts howling, and basically doing every annoying sounds he could produce, just to shut you up.

 You laugh, trying to pull his hands away from his ear, telling him about the finale. Each second he goes on with his act, the more you found it funny so you ended up bellowing in laughter, weak as you fall down on his chest, shoulders shaking.

 Jaehyun sighs as he wraps an arm around you, patting your head gently. “God, you’re annoying.”

 Still in fits of giggles, you sit up again and hover over him, staring at him. Jaehyun was probably one of the most beautiful men you’ve ever seen in your life and you thought you were blessed to have been given a chance to be one of the people he loved in this world. “You love me, though.”

 Jaehyun gives you a goofy smile, “that I do, sweetheart. So fucking much. You have no idea.”

 “Prove it!”

 “How?”

 "Kiss me."

 Jaehyun didn’t have to be told twice. His hands find its way on the back of your head, and he pulls you close while he lifts his head up to meet you halfway and locks his lips with yours.

 You chuckle and proceed to kiss him. Deep and hard, always. His tongue swipes on your lower lip and you grant him access and soon your tongues wrapped around each other. You didn't know how long you were kissing but all you knew was you were already feeling dizzy and breathless but you just wanted to taste him again and again.

 People might call you crazy but every time you saw him, he still gave you the butterflies he made you feel from the first time you saw him. That was how you knew you were already in love with him. You were so into in him that his mere touch sent shivers up your spine and when he makes love to you, you’re afraid you’ll burst into tears because of the overwhelming feelings he gives you.

 You pull away and pull off the large t-shirt that you used as pyjamas. Underneath it, you weren’t wearing anything because you knew you’d be fucking your boyfriend. You shoot him a smile as you cup your breasts for him, earning a whistle from him. You knew he loved your nipples and right now, they looked too appetizing to him, already so hard and begging to be sucked by him.

 He bites his lips at the sight of your naked and pliant body. He knew how conscious you were of your body but he loved how you trusted him too much that you were confident naked in front of him. He was thankful for that because for him it was a way to really say how much you trusted and loved him.

 You grab his hands and rest them over your breasts as you start to circle your hips on him again. He had an obsession with you boobs that he would find a way to suck your nipples most of the time, that when you would sleep over at his dorm (which was better because the athletic department had budget and gave them solo rooms) even before you sleep, he sucks your nipples. It was endearing.

 You were his and he was yours. As soon as he lets go of your nipples, you kiss his neck, making sure to rub you hard nipples against his chest as you pull up his shirt and help him fully take it off. He cups your face as you kiss and you rush to undo his jeans. You plant kisses down his neck, chest and stomach as you go lower, pulling down his jeans.

 His half hard cock pops out as you pull down his underwear and help him get both his jeans and underwear off around his ankles until the both of you were buck naked. You settle between his legs, kissing his thighs, just taking your time but your hands find his cock, the tip leaking with clear liquid.

 You spit on your hands, easing the friction and starting to jerk him off. You use the pad of your thumb to rub the slit of his cock, watching how his cock twitches and gets harder at the action. His dick continues to leak pre-cum, enough for you to spread it around the sensitive mushroom head of his shaft.

 “Fuck, baby. Stop playing and suck it if you’re going to,” he hisses, fisting the sheets beside him.

 “Ok, ok.” You laugh but you continue to play with his sensitive head. You gather your spit in your mouth and drop it slowly on the head of his dick, circling your tongue to the air so the spit goes around and covers the rest of his cock. “I’ll get your dick wet first, you big baby.”

 Jaehyun moans as you start to jack him off, your left teasing the head and the right jerking the rest of his cock. He watches you as you bite your lips in concentration as you jerk him off, using the tricks that are fool proof to make him feel good. Especially that jerk-jerk-twist-jerk movement that had his hips bucking.

 Without a word, you start to suck on his head, slurping on the salty precum, making him hiss in pleasure. You use your now free left hand to fondle on his balls as you keep jerking and sucking him off. When the moisture from your spit around the rest of his length dries, you slowly take him in your mouth, deep throating him.

 You keep your thumb in your fist, trying to keep your gagging down as you used your left hand to hold onto the base of his cock as you take him deeper inside your mouth until your nose was touching his belly, his trimmed pubes prickling you.

 Jaehyun was always amazed how you manage to take in his whole length but then again, you always managed to surprise him and managed to exceed his expectations which was one of the reasons for why he fell in love with you. Out of all the girls around him, you managed to catch his attention and he found himself unable to keep you out of his mind until the two of you got to work together since you were both in student government.

 You lift your head a little and bob your head, keeping his dick down your throat, knowing this would surely cover the whole of his cock with your spit. Jaehyun had always been a loud grunter and moaner so it was no doubt that the room was filled with Jaehyun’s sounds of pleasure and curses as you make him feel good with your mouth. Once you couldn’t hold your breath anymore, you pull away from his cock.

 You take the spit stringing your mouth to the head of his cock with your fingers and jerk him off. Jaehyun looks at you, mouth swollen, eyes lidded and tears forming at your ducts. You lean forward, rubbing the head of his cock against your nipples, making him groan at the sight. You take him in your mouth again, this time, just comfortably sucking him off, just taking in the length you could casually and jerk the rest of his shaft.

 He grabs a hold of your head, pushing your pony tail back and tucking the strands that came apart from the vigorous bobbing of your head on his cock. Jaehyun starts to thrust his hips up so you stop moving, your arms on either sides of his hips on the bed, letting him fuck your face at his own pace. When he thrusts to particularly deep, you end up gagging and you pull away, coughing.

 Jaehyun gasps in worry, immediately sitting up and cups your face. “Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean to! I’m so sorry, sweetheart.”

 You let out a giggle and peck his lips, “it’s ok, love.”

 "So now, it’s my turn to please my lady." He grins as he kisses you on the cheek before he maneuvers you to the head of the bed and pushes you down until he was hovering over you and in between your legs. He licks the tips of his fingers and rubs at your clit, making you twitch. He reaches down and slips two of his fingers inside you with no warning, making you gasp. “You’re this wet for me, sweetheart? Well shit.” He grins at you, teasing as his he finds a comfortable paces to fuck you with his fingers.

 You close your eyes, reveling in the sensation of his fingers stretching you and rubbing against your spot as you squeeze your breasts. God, he knew just how to make you feel so good, and you couldn’t wait for the main event: his cock but his fingers were doing more than good that you find yourself bucking against his hand as your orgasm comes over you fast, like it was unexpected that you didn’t realize you were cumming until it you started to scream and tremble.

 “That was fast,” Jaehyun teases, pulling his fingers out of you slowly, watching your pussy juice stringing as he separates his fingers. He takes the fingers from inside you and shoves it in his mouth and licks it clean. It as a shame you couldn’t see it as you were still basking in the after effects of your orgasm, eyes pinched close. “I didn’t even touch your clit!” He says, giving you a teasing look. “You must’ve waited for this long, huh?”

 You grin at him, but still trying to calm yourself down by taking deep breaths. “We haven’t had sex since Jihyo made us stop having sex here and finals was a bitch, Jae. I was stressed!” You close your eyes, clutching your chest dramatically.

 Jaehyun laughs at you and kneels in front of you, lifting your hips and pulling you to him. He lifts your hips and settles it on top of his legs. You feel him line his cock to your slit and pushes his head in.

 “Wait! I’m not ready yet!” You whimper, using your legs to push yourself off but his grip on your hips was strong and he had already pushed inside you, the whole of his length inside you. Your eyes roll back as his tip presses against your sweet spot but at the same time, the burn of the stretch makes you hiss in pain. He was never an easy size to begin with.

 “Relax, babe.” He says gently as he takes a hold of your waist but you see how he has his eyes closed and his mouth agape. “You’re fucking tight.”

 Still feeling the stretch, you lift your head and hit his hand on your waist, making him laugh. “You’re an asshole. I’m still sensitive.” You pouted.

 “I know, love. Your pussy’s still throbbing.” He gives you a sweet smile and grabs your legs to wrap them around him. He takes his time, keeping his cock inside you while he takes his time into admiring your serene face and running his hands on your skin. “You ok?” He intertwines your fingers and plants kisses on the back of your hand, watching you remain silent with your eyes closed.

 You eventually give him a sign but don’t answer him, instead, you smile at him as you squeeze your walls around his cock, making him wince. “Your cock is-AH!”

 He starts to move his hips, just grinding do every roll of his hips, his cock hitting your sweet spot. "Ah, shit. You're so fucking tight." He groans as he finally pulls his hips back and drove into me slowly, bottoming out and slamming back in, making you moan at the sweet pressure inside.

 You wrap your legs tighter around him as he moved his hips up, hitting your sweet spot at a different angle as he leans down and sucks at your nipples. Fucking Jaehyun wouldn’t be fucking him if he wasn’t sucking on your nipples while he was fucking into you. You keep his head close to you, as if you were holding a baby’s head sucking on its mother’s nipple. Honestly, with the amount of times he was sucking on your nipples, you wouldn’t be surprised if you started lactating out of the blue.

 He lifts your legs as he starts slow but deep thrusts and puts both of your legs over his shoulders as he leans down, basically folding you in half. He captures your lips while his hips pick up pace. He kisses the sensitive spots on your neck as he builds up a steady pattern of fucking you, making you eyes roll back in pleasure. He licks the skin from you ear to my neck, making you shiver and buck your hips, easily receiving his hard cock.

 He eventually goes into full force and you’re left to nothing but a moaning mess as he drives his hips to yours forcefully and in a pace beyond what you could handle. He was so deep inside you that you could the sweet pressure of his hard cock jabbing your cervix.

 You claw at his back and grabbing onto whatever you could, holding on for dear life as he drives into you relentlessly, with his hands lifting up your hips for easier access. "F-fu...fuck! Ah! Soooo goo-...ood! Ah!!"

 He pulls out and you groan at the loss of his cock inside you.

 "Jaehyun, no," You groan desperately as he smirks at me.

 "Patience, love." He smiles and lies on his back, making me straddle him.

 Needing no words, you straddle him and slip down his length, releasing a sigh of pleasure at the fullness you’re feeling. You lean down and kiss him and he settles his hands on your ass cheeks, massaging and slapping. You pull away, moving your hips slowly, forward and backward, taking him in deep inside. You lean your head back, moaning from the pleasure.

 He leans forward and sucks your left nipple and plays with your nipple with his hands, rolling the hard pebble with his fingers, pulling and squeezing. He groans in pleasure as you tighten your walls around him. He moves to your riģht nipple and sucks, and gives the same treatment as he did with your other nipple.

 Jaehyun then pushes you down towards him and holds you tight as he starts thrusting hard and fast from below you. You squeal at the intense, hard pleasure coming in, giving you no room to breathe.

 "JAEHYUN!!!!" You scream as you push your hips down to meet his thrusts and take him in any deeper, if it was possible. "FucK! AHH!!" You let myself go and my body becomes limbless at the excessive pleasure. You feel the drool escape your lips as you lean your face on the crook of his neck.

 Without effort, he maneuvers you off of him and throws you on the bed then kissing every exposed inch of my skin he could reach. Once he reaches down, he doesn’t hesitate and proceeds to eat you out like a fucking maniac, making you scream and shiver in so much pleasure. There were lots of things Jung Jaehyun did well and one of the top things besides academics, basketball, cooking and fucking, eating you out would be included. And it didn't help that he knew your body like the back of his hand.

 "Jaehyun! I'm cummimg!" You scream and before he could react, you were trembling, already in your second orgasm of the day. He never stopped sucking on your clit and started fingering you again, jus jabbing at your sweet spot while you were on the verge of your orgasm. You wanted to keep away but he had your hips on hold. Pretty soon, you felt it coming again and this time, you ended up squirting.

 He looked pretty proud of himself after you were left a shivering mess. “There we go, good girl!” He smiles, kissing the back of your hand. “I told you I’d make you squirt, right?” The last time you had sex, knowing it’d be while before you could again, the two of you had rented a room and tried every position you wanted to try out and tried finding out your limits. He had made you squirt then and you both were amazed after seeing it once so he had promised you that he would be making you do it again.

 “Jihyo’s gonna be so fucking mad when she gets home…” you trail off, still a bit high from your orgasm. “God, I’m dead. I need to find a new roommate.” You take a deep breathe, “also, I think… I’m gonna pass out.”

 Jaehyun laughed, “at least let me cum before you pass out!”

 “I fucking hate you right now.” You could feel the slight sheen of sweat on your body, besides from the body liquid you just expelled earlier.

 “Excuse me, Ms. Y/N? You were the one that wanted this, remember?”

 You wanted to pass out but you were sure Jaehyun wasn't over yet and besides, you always wanted Jaehyun’s cum inside you. It wasn't done until he came inside you. “Fuck me now, come on.” He immediately enters you and starts working his hips in a pace fast and hard.

 "Fuck! Slow down!" It was too good that you could feel fresh tears drip down your temple. "Wait!!! Jaehyun" You try to push him away to at least slow him down but he holds you tighter and drives into you harder, constantly pressing against your g-spot. It was honestly like his cock was made for your pussy as he’s always hitting the places inside you that made you see stars.

 "Ah, fuck! Your pussy so fucking tight for me!" He exclaims, followed with a plethora of curses as he does a steady pace of strong, deep, fast thrusts. He kisses you and holds tight on your breasts, squeezing them.

 "I'm cumming!" You scream as you quickly cum on his cock which triggers his orgasm as well, but he keeps his shallow thrusts until he's emptied his cum all inside of you, filling you a few weeks worth of cum, filling you to the brim that some spill out even though his cock acted as a plug.

 He stays inside you as the two of you kiss again, lazily this time, so you both could catch your breaths too. "I love you, y/n." He smiles at you, kissing your chin.

 You laugh at his sweetness as you focus on breathing to slow down your fast heartbeat. Was it because of his words or your exhaustion? Or both? But you did know the exhaustion was taking over you. You close your eyes, basking in the warmth of his body against yours. Your ears were blocked and you were still trembling but you weren’t complaining.

 Jaehyun knew you so he wasn’t expecting your reply and he already knows your answer anyways. Pretty soon, you quickly fall asleep, surprising him. But it was understandable because he made you spent so he cleaned up after you, wiping your body and your crotch with a warm towel and dressing you in panties and one of the shirts he’s left intentionally after he had cleaned himself up. It was the least he could do.

 From Jung Jaehyun | 10:30AM

To Cha Eunwoo

[zepdeans]

there’s not a lot I can say about s3 that hasn’t already been said (and articulated 200x better) but! here are some of my (albeit dumb) thoughts :~)

ep5 -ngl as soon as im not in love comes on my heart goes uwu bc like!!!! that song the meaNING.... them......... i jus love this scene sm like theyre in their own little bubble and they both feel so comfortable and at peace :((  -even leaving isak comics about an inside joke of theirs like yall mind if i scream -isak feeling left out from the conversation and his friends whew i felt that... and having them talk about how gross it is to makeout with a girl w facial hair?? blease :( -taking stock of isak’s nicknames: issy k, isabell, izzy, baby jesus, -im not even gonna bother trying to articulate thoughts on Pause bc it’s a literal masterpiece. thank u tarjei henrik and julie for inventing television with this one  -MAGNUS SDFKJSDFJKDSHK "oooh my name is Jonas and I love idealism and reading klassekampen and I don’t like plastic and I skate on a skateboard made of sustainable wood and wear old clothes because new clothes are bad for the environment and I only drink recycled water” screAMMM -what i said abt pause also applies to pride ugh its such a powerful scene and!! the beginning of kicks to isaks stomach. honestly what i fucking love about this episode is how it goes from hell yea best day w even ever to crying in the street within one week (s3 had the best balance of angst and payoff thanks) -even’s Soft Party Flannel... forever tainted by this scene rip -not knowing why even kissed sonja keeps me up at night -speaking of. how used and stupid isak must’ve felt when he saw even completely unbothered, hooking up w his ex at this party?? whew :( -bros is one of my all time favourite clips solely bc of the music?? lift me up gives me chills and when hold my liquor starts i LOSE it -ep5 and 6 remind me of that quote “to see what your characters are really made of you have to break them” because julie rlly goes all in and god it hurts so good

ep6 -never have i ever seen insomnia portrayed as accurately as tarjei did here and i remember when i first watched the cantina scene i was like. winded bc its SO true to sleep deprivation whew -i really like that isak wasnt together with even when he reached out for help and came out to jonas. bc it was him, on his own, being strong enough to talk to his friends and then eventually he was confident and secure enough in himself to be in a good place when even started reaching back out!! -i have no idea what its like to come out to someone, to be afraid of your friends rejecting you, everything isak went through. but tarjei’s acting of when, like, you have something you KNOW you have to tell someone, and youve put yourself in the position where youre going to have to tell them, but youre terrified and eventually just force yourself SAY the words??  -and isak’s smile when he realizes jonas is gonna be his bro no matter what :’)))

ep7 -weirdly one of my favourite isak looks (black t-shirt grey snapback c-c-c-combo) -”what’s your name again?” have i mentioned i love sana and isak bc i love sana and isak -jonas truly is the best friend oh man. perceptive, thoughtful, loving, laidback, a friggen BRO. tbh i was wary of him in s1 and thought he didn’t treat eva well (tho I recognized he loved her a lot, he was just bad at being a boyfriend) but jonas in s3?? just goes to show how powerful your perspective of someone can change viewing them in a different role!! because while jonas was a crappy bf, he literally is SUCH an incredible friend and his actions and words and just! him! in s3 completely redeemed any illwill I had towards him :’) -maybe im a little gay (up there with other s3 comedy classics such as “thats a boys name”) -mahdi season WHEN ugh a legend -’when someone asks isak if hes going to a family party’ literally what other reason for living do i have if not to read the boy squad text convos -isaks locker finally opening and his smile at evens drawing whewwwwwww!! also even rlly is that guy who wont text you back but will leave hand written love letters in ur locker -also. another stellar look from valtersen -slutt a meld meg is a whole masterpiece like what other piece of media has the RANGE -eskild: play hard to get. jonas: no smiley!!! isak: nah fam im good B)

ep8 -this episode is BEAUTIFUL bc you feel practically euphoric?? like hell yeah theyre finally together!! isak is out and accepted and even is done with sonja! but theres also this unsettling undercurrent of worry bc you know deep down something isnt right? why is sonja calling isak? why is even acting kinda strange? whats going on? yknow?? -literally never going to get over 5 fine frokner :~) even is such a goddamn nerd and he’s the man of isak’s dreams can u believe!!  -sana’s little speech is SO important in so many ways ooo i love her so much -also have we discussed eskild making evak do a photoshoot for him. highkey those are my favourite pictures of ALL time u can tell even was like hm strange but im down while isak was more omg guys stop🙄 omg haha eskild i cant believe youre making me cuddle with even for a photo🙄 i cant believe ur making me snuggle this dude for a pic!!!! definitely would not have done this otherwise!!! -magnus only realizing it’s THAT even after seeing how isak looks at him. whew -isak is so brave i rlly love that kid! his text to his mamma <3 -no r*make will EVER nail text conversations like mari/julie did w evak’s this week thanks for coming to my ted talk. i'd quote the best ones but it would literally double the length of this post (ok ill cave. “hahaha shut up❤️” GETS me) -you dont know whats in store but you know what youre here for. hallo -isak running around oslo with even’s clothes looking for him :( his heart is so big he cares about even so so much -when Part II (on the run) comes on in the credits its like a kick in the teeth honestly

ep9 -ive already screamed enough about cherry wine but god it fucks me up -cannot put into words how much I love eskild and how good of a person he is, he just has so much love in his heart  -”wait they have waffles here? see ya” -this convo is why i love skam so much!!!! magnus giving insight and good thoughtful advice to isak was such a brilliant move by julie (also truLy heartwarming) bc like. magnus is a flawed layered character! he’s dumb and ignorant and not very careful with his words BUT hes also such a sweet guy. i genuinely dont think he would hurt a fly and him talking about vilde (in ep10) is ;-; bc he really likes her and respects her and wants to be a gentleman! hes so loving and just. yeah. also i wonder if isak and magnus (and vilde) ever talked about having mentally ill parents and lent on each other for support bc like....<3 [sidenote- this is why i HATE b***** like they absolutely massacred magnus’s character and magnus did not deserve that!] -det er bare slutt........ very cool of tarjei to invent acting here. also the character development makes me WEEP like at first isak lied and told his pappa it was over bc its easier to brush stuff off and say you were joking than be vulnerable especially about 1. having a boyfriend and 2. saying youve already broken up?? but then isak was like hey im done with lying about who i am bc i want my life to be REAL and he told his dad the truth even if it was hard and even if he was trying rlly hard not to cry  -isak reaching out to even<3 standing up for even<3 -o helga natt. another scene i genuinely cannot comment on bc u cant really put into any written language how magical and breathtaking and heartbreaking and powerful and brilliant this scene is. so. -jk. obvs i cant say anything intelligent enough to give this scene justice but probably the most stunning piece of television i have ever had the privilege of watching. even’s text breaks my heart every gd time (esp since we never really see this side of him before finding out he’s bipolar? his guilt, insecurity, feeling like a burden, being scared of losing everyone in his life because he thinks he’ll hurt them). the music is SO beautiful i cry real tears as soon as the strings start. also the brilliance of JUST o helga natt playing and no dialogue except for isaks one line? isak’s realization when he sees the cross. him RUNNING across oslo to go to even. the FLASHBACKS all going backwards in chronological order until them smoking on the bench. isak looking at the bench and not seeing even and u can feel his heart breaking and urs breaks too! but then he remembers the bathroom and he turns and theres even and whewwww. du er ikke alene<3

ep10 -minutt for minutt is THE most healing clip im telling u. and like.. seeing even depressed really is hard and as someone who was very very depressed for 4-ish yrs of their life it rlly hits me? like when youre in an especially bad funk and you cant get out of bed and youre just numb and exhausted and feel so shitty and u want to be alone but you really dont???? could go on but literally i owe henrik holm my life for his portrayal of even  -not to be a soft bitch on main but when isak tucks the blanket over even and it keeps getting pulled off his back so isak just. covers that spot with himself? -i do love that call between sonja and isak bc once again! a flawed (realistic) human being -and isak thinking its his fault even is depressed? it means a lot that sonja told him its no ones fault, even is just bipolar. and i wonder if isak felt that way about his mamma as well, guilty for her being ill, and if what sonja said made him feel better about that situation too :( -lowkey random but when isak is rambling really fast and he goes “maybe we’ll get bombed tomorrow and talking about all this is a waste of time” it continually punches me in the throat bc that is /exactly/ how i ramble and think like tarjei........ pls -like eskild said. there really is so much love in isak’s little grumpy teenage body<3 -isak no longer just passively accepting life as its given to him, now he fights for him and even!!!!!  -isak is such a forgiving person and seeing him able to just accept things and move on? incredible -i remember when i first watched ep1 i was like oooo even and isak are gonna be kosegruppa partners and thats when theyll first get together, cooking food or smth!! but lmfao after episode 3? kosegruppa whomst???? also hilarious vilde thought isak of all people would willingly sign up for kosegruppa just to go to revue parties -even and linn friendship!!!! -cannot articulate how mf heartwarming it is to see even smiling and being more himself after being depressed (also thank u julie for having ups and downs coming out of his depression- its so true to life having one day when youre feeling awesome and then the next you feel awful again for no reason and its SO frustrating) -I had to stop watching passe pa meg cause it made me toooooo crazy! it would just be like: “I like seeing you laugh” and I was like: *SCREAMS* -im the fucking master of lying 😤 -literally don’t know why isak and even ragging on kosegruppa is so funny but “did you think I joined to have fun” gets me every time -I SAW YOU THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL -also even literally radiating love @ isak watching get snarky w vilde on the phone bc it reminded him of the first time he saw him! even rly is that boyfriend who thinks isak being pissy is the Best Thing he has Ever seen -halla boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz -literally the glo up of isak telling his friends the order in which he’d bang them -No filter! wow I love symbolism -so nice to see the girls together for a lil bit :) -the boys hyping up mags while also telling him to be respectful awwwwww -take desperate to a whole new level- Confucius  -who’s going to show isak how to properly hold a beer can -literally evak banter gets me thru the day. thank u tarjei and henrik for having phenomenal chemistry + improvisation skills + making isak and even the dumbest nerdiest boys i have ever seen -biology partner. and friend. ;-; -even literally is the biggest stoner blease -isak’s talk with eva is just sooooo<3 and not to be emo on main but every single word of the last few sentences he says hit me so gd hard because i feel the exact same way in my BONES -livet er nå 💛

final thoughts :( <3 -this season is so special. it feels like one really long oscar-worthy movie or smth?? i cant even exblain, its just magical. ALSO very dear to my heart. -julie really said you guys have seen isak sad and alone and repressed for the past two seasons so heres him falling in love with the best person in the world and coming to terms with who he is and being brave and opening up and finally being happy and living a real life -this season definitely feels different from s1/2/4 to me editing or production or music smth wise? as in, its got a lot fewer aesthetic shots and the cinematography seems a bit different if that makes any sense???? I also think this is the season most focused just on the main (i.e. not many- if any? sideplots going on) -literally will never get over the thought, love, and detail put into this season. when i say there is literally nothing i would change about it, i mean it and coming from my nitpicky ass??? means a lot lmfao. the acting, directing, music choices, symbolism...... sublime -s3′s cold rainy autumn aesthetic makes me ACHE for fall and also nostalgic for a highschool experience I never had lmao?? also. all the nighttime clips >>> -don’t know what else to say except thank u skam for my life

Prompt: platonic hangout+confession by accident

Tyrus one shot

Cyrus's POV:

It was a normal summer night me and TJ had decided to hang out most of the day. At the end of the day we decided to hang out at my place and invite some friends over. And so an hour and a half later we were sitting in my basement with Buffy Andi Marty and Jonah trying to figure out how to spend our time

My parents weren't home so we decided to have the dinner of champions: icecream. We all sat there, spoons in hand, eating straight from the gallon icecream container.

Andi: "So what should we do?"

Buffy: "How about we play paranoia. We've never had a good game because we never ask interesting questions. So lets ask interesting questions"

Despite my efforts to object, I still landed in the circle with my friends, tossing a coin in the middle of our circle. Our order of sitting going to the left was me, Buffy, Andi, TJ, Jonah, and Marty. Since we were playing going to the left Marty was asking me questions. After about 20 minutes Buffy determined we had to start asking better questions so we did it was going okay until Marty asked me a question that I wasnt willing to admit.

Marty leaned toward me and whispered in my ear

"Do you have a crush on anybody?" I felt myself swallow hard as my throat suddenly went dry.

"Y-Yes" I responded hesitantly as I grabbed the coin. Praying that it landed on tails so I didn't have to tell the group the question. I closed my eyes and tossed the coin up in the air, I heard it clink onto the hard wood floors and opened to look. I sighed, heads, I felt like the coin was mocking me.

Buffy: "Soo what was the question??"

I looked up at TJ for a moment before looking towards Buffy and responding

"Do I have a crush on anybody"

My friends let out a group of curios "ooo"s and i blushed slightly.

Buffy: "whoo? Cy u have to tell us"

Cyrus: "Uh- I- hey im supposed to ask you a question"

Buffy: "Fine"

Once we got half way through the circle we decided to take a short break and eat some more icecream. We sat back down in the same order and Jonah suggested we start asking going around the circle to the right. Everyone agreed especially Buffy who had a mischievous grin on her face. I felt my heart racing because I knew that at some point tonight she was going to ask me about the question I got earlier. After we made our way around the circle a few times i started to believe that Buffy had let it go, that maybe she was just going to interrogate me later. I should have known better... maybe if she knew my crush was sitting in the room she would've waited but she didnt know and didn't wait. I almost didnt process the words she whispered into my ears

"Who do you have a crush on?"

I looked at Buffy, I really shouldn't have let my gaurd down

I took a deep breath before I looked her in the eye and responded, "TJ" she looked back at me shocked.

Buffy: "Really?!"

I looked down and sighed, rubbing the back of my neck.

Cyrus: "y-yeah"

The rest of the group stared at us in confusion.

TJ: "Hey dont forget to flip the coing Cy"

Andi: "Dont rush him you only want to know the question"

TJ: "You wouldnt want to??"

Andi: "Ok fine maybe I would"

I grabbed the coin and took a deep breath, glancing at Buffy before casting it into the air. I was almost afraid to look when I heard it hit the floor.

Jonah: "Heads!!" He exclaimed excitedly, everyone was curious to know why Buffy and I had a total change in expression

Buffy: "Cyrus im so sorry"

Marty: "Wait why are you sorry?"

Buffy: "I shouldnt have made him answer that question"

Andi: "But I thought thats what the game was about?"

Buffy: "its supposed to be fun but this might end badly"

TJ: "Why? How?"

Jonah: "Cyrus you dont have to say it if it was really bad"

I looked up and sighed, all eyes were on me

Cyrus: "Its part of the rules"

Buffy: "We arent going to disqualift-"

Cyrus: "Who do you have a crush on" I said aloud cutting Buffy off

Buffy: "Im sorry.."

Cyrus: "I couldnt hide it forever"

TJ: "Really?"

I looked up at TJ and sighed

Cyrus: "Sorry you found out that way... Actually Im sorry you found out at all" i sighed and got up walking up the stairs and heading into the kitchen. I grabbed a cup of water and leaned on the counter with my back toward the door. A few minutes later I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and sighed, looks like someone was sent to check on me. I took a drink of my water as I heard the footsteps stop outside the kitchen. I put the cup down and sighed.

"I dont need anyone to take care of me. Its not a big deal"

"I think it is. Getting put on the spot like that in front of your crush"

I inhaled sharply, shocked at the sound of TJs voice. I kept my back to him and laughed

"They sent you to check on me. No offense but what is this? Their way of trying to set us up? Theres no way"

I heard TJs footsteps approach me stopping next to me. I looked at him through the corner of my eye.

"I came up here entirely on my own. Typically after someone confesses their feelings for you the correct response is to talk about it with them"

"Whats there to talk about. You dont even like boys."

He reached out and softly put his hand on my chin moving my face so that I was looking in his eyes.

"And how would you know what I like Cyrus? Do you keep tabs on me?"

My face turned red and I pulled away from him. Drinking more water to avoid responding. Although I wasnt facing him I knew he was staring at me.

"Don't toy with my emotions. I have no intention of being some kind of-"

TJ cut me off and pulled me to face him. I pulled back and lost my balance falling backwards, taking TJ with me since he still had a tight grip on my shoulder. I hit the floor landing on my back and TJ landed ontop of me. He held himself in a raised push up with both hands on either side of me. I felt my face turn bright red and looked away

"Get off of me" I tried to push TJ away, but he was a lot stronger than me and stayed in place.

"Cyrus you must know I like you too I only thought it was obvious"

I looked up at him in shock did he really?

"I thought you - I thought you were straight"

"Cyrus Ive never dated a girl."

"But you talk about your ex sometimes. I thought-"

"Dont assume Cyrus. Youll make an ass out of u and me."

"B-but" I was practically incoherent there was no way TJ expected me to form sentences while he was on top of me.

"Reed Cyrus. Reed is my ex. You know I still hang out with my ex, the only girls I hang out with are Andi and Buffy. And sometimes Libby when Jonah brings her around. Who did you think it was?"

"I dont- I - Get off of me!"

"Do you want me to?"

"Thats what I said TJ stop messing with me" i pushed on his chest and he smirked as i crossed my arms in defeat.

"Youre really cute when youre fustrated"

"TJ please... stop doing this to me.. my-my friends are-"

"Youre friends arent going to bug us theyre downstairs"

"But-"

TJ shushed me and leaned in, I felt his breath on my face and I got that much more nervous. "T-TJ what are you-" he cut me off with a kiss, catching me off gaurd. After a second to realize what was happening I started kissing back, wrapping my arms around his neck. After what felt like eternity TJ pulled away. My heart was racing so fast i was out of breath, it felt as though I had just run a marathon. TJ stood up leaving me on the floor alone.

"Hey Guys how long have you been standing there?" TJ said so casually. He laughed and I assumed he was joking "Thats not funn-" I look up and see all of our friends standing in the doorway staring at us. I swear I felt my soul leave my body.

Episode 2 - "COUNT TO FOUR JOSH YOU DON’T HAVE IT" ~Ellie

Tribal Immunity: https://hollowbastionsurvivor.tumblr.com/post/629914023394148352/tribal-immunity-2

Christina is wary about pre-game relationships in her tribe. There is merit to those words, but will she be able to navigate through it?

I do not have a lot to say, nor am I sure we are in round 2. 

~~~~~

Dylan becomes increasingly frustrated with Emma

https://youtu.be/GBC1n4Vxdno

~~~~~

Emma believes that someone else on her tribe has an idol when she is the one that has the idol. She believes there must be two idols on one tribe.

I hope six guesses are enough in, honestly, do not know the timeframe. As I was doing this, I also had to talk to 3 others and not appear suspicious because they are not the people who kindly take people of my quite weird assholeness. We are all people, and I am just trying to keep us all from tribal because everyone is afraid of that happening again. The fact that I can not discuss this with anyone sucks a lot!

~~~~~

Well, I think Amy also tried. Hopefully, Amy could do it in 3 tries, as it should have been done in 3. 🙏🙃 We have intelligent people with math skills! 🙌🥳. I know someone has to have the speed to do it on either tribe.

I’m kind of annoyed because I know there’s a group in heartless tribe that knows each other from previous games and obviously works together. No way you’re all online til 3AM for no reason. It makes me nuts because I feel like I’m fucked from the start and I’m just waiting to get taken out. There’s no way to infiltrate a group that’s already bonded over these games. It’s hard to strategize when adaora isn’t online, Emma is Emma, and the other four are working together. Kevin and Colin sort of act like I’m someone they want to go to the end with, but I’m 99.99% sure that’s absolutely false. It’s too early to feel this defeated. 

Permitted who I believe I am allied with to vote me out, but asked to be told before they do (if need be), so that I can give one the immunity idol to them.

~~~~~

Believe this is a 3 vs 4, also potential of 5 vs 2. I could be on either side of that. I actually do hope we have tribal so this can be figured out to be 100 % honest. This is how I currently feel and this all is subject to change. I do not understand this. But I love the idol hunts and tribal group Immunity Challenges! I expected and was excited for a spreadsheet and we get a random color challenge. Pure luck really. It could have been done in 4 tries, 3 if you are that brilliant. I wish the tribe would talk more. It is annoying to me that there are so many individual private chats and also do enjoy the individual time to bond with those who are willing to do that work. To be frank, I did not mean to post the initial post into Tribal Chat, but I did. 🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️The next one's were for a reason. I do think that the game is going well. Just wish TC more active & wondering if going to next challenge I wonder if Tribal Council will be more honest this time. Think it was BS they all did not have to respond as well. That's it. All STB and you know, I do not know what anyone is saying.

Dylan wins the reward. They are able to find out that the exact prerequisites for a path in the idol hunt. They did not end up using it.

So we won immunity which is cool. I feel like merge is gonna be soon, so that's cool. i'm pretty sure we would have a target for the next vote if we go to tribal, so that's exciting. stay tuned! xoxo gossip girl 

Told you it should have been done in 3 tries... Glad we won!

~~~~~

People begin to grow wary of Adaora’s inactivity. Christina is worried she might have to lose a number if Adaora doesn’t get more active

https://youtu.be/oSOwH1J4ZNI

We won tribal!!! Yay Dylan for doing such an incredible job! Glad tribe is doing well. 

~~~~~

This edit logic stuff I do not get. Glad we didn't go to tribal. Super excited for today!

~~~~~

This edit logic has some of the tribe talking. Some are assuming the wrong things from what I see, including myself (until I clarified how this is edgic may work, which still makes no sense). I don't know who to believe or trust anymore, so I am glad to be having a medical procedure that allows me to not be awake for 4 hours! 🙌😴😇 People are straight-up lying to one another, so this is interesting. I have tried to be quiet, make some relationships, cultivate others, and still am lost. All this is subject to change and stuff...

Well holy shit. After two days of failed attempts, I was able to get an idol! First I found the Ends of the Earth Keyblade, which gave me half of the Darkness Idol. Today, I found the Destiny’s Embrace Keyblade and completed it!! It basically gives me the power to force a vote between two people 💃🏽 Hopefully I don’t get voted out with it lmao Other than that, I’m really glad we won immunity last night. I was SO confident I had the best score with only 4 guesses, but props to Dylan for somehow doing it in 3! We destroyed Nobody Tribe and that’s all that matters. 

IM SO HAPPY WE WON IMMUNITY. I have no time to deal with tribal, so I'm glad I don't have to. I have no idea whats gonna happen on the other tribe for their vote. Obv I hope Ellie survives because I love her, buttt I also wouldn't mind seeing how I can play a survivor game without her for once uwu. So im kinda indifferent about it all!! Im continuing to vibe with Christina and Kevin, theyre quickly becoming some of my faves, but i truly love everyone on our tribe. Tribe swap soon OwO????

Honestly, I haven’t been as active as I should with my tribe. I’ve just been super busy and I feel like I’m going to get voted out just because I haven’t been in contact as much. I lowkey don’t care anymore though. Or maybe I’m just too busy, idk. I really have to step my game up I feel like I’m in danger since Gizmo is gone! 

Tribal Council: https://hollowbastionsurvivor.tumblr.com/post/630096410501611520/tribal-council-1-nobody-tribe

~~~~~

Tribal Immunity: https://hollowbastionsurvivor.tumblr.com/post/629914023394148352/tribal-immunity-2

So I just finished the Mastermind Immunity challenge and finished and only took me 5 guesses. Now, I'm hoping my tribe pulled through so we can get another win. And I'm hoping everyone else did worse than me so I can win the reward

Mastermind was fun! I messed up twice which is so frustrating. Ugh I really wanted to do better. Hopefully our team wins. If not it will be interesting 

John finds the Blindfold

Well y’all here I am with yet another advantage in my pocket, I have a safety without power and now I also have a blindfold. I’m not gonna tell a soul about either of these until I need to. I’m planning on holding these until I can use them to make a big move in this game. 

Kim wins the reward. They are able to find out that the exact prerequisites for a path in the idol hunt.

Results: https://hollowbastionsurvivor.tumblr.com/post/629999426614804480/mastermind-results

Ellie is in a really good spot. She doesn’t intend to be loyal to John and Josh. A lot of people like her, and want to work with her. For this round, she shouldn’t dictate votes if she wants to lengthen her stay in the game. Her closest ally seems to be Kim

So we lost, BUT It’s great for me!! I need to see who I can trust/work with early on and tribal is the only true way to do that. I’m in a pretty good spot rn, already have an alliance (which I don’t honestly plan on staying loyal to) lots of people that claim they want to work with me, and the person I’m working closest with won a reward in the challenge! I’ll keep y’all updated on how this goes

Josh targets Kim and Jordan in the Misfits, possibly fearing the reward. Ellie attempts to sway him away from that.

So we just lost the Immunity Challenge and now we have to vote someone out. I'm looking towards pushing for Jordan to go because he got the highest amount of guesses on our tribe and he is not in my alliance

Well we lost that challenge . I can't believe the other tribe had someone who finished with a score of 3 and most with like 4. WHAT. At least i won reward.Currently it seems like its Jordan vs Josh and John.I'm stuck now because I know Josh and John could be a pair to be feared .

~~~~~

So i have just been told that Josh is gunning for me .All i can say is you can swing but make sure you don't miss 

~~~~~

Josh and John are seen as a duo

This game can really flip on a dime. Just a few hours ago i was all for getting Jordan out as the easy vote , which i should have known was too good to be true , and now I'm working with Jordan to get Josh out because he's trying to get me out . Fun .

WELL. My bad. Did not do good. Hopefully the target will not be me because I didn’t do so well. I think the misfits alliance is leaning towards Jordan. Which I agree. As long as it’s not me 😅 I’m going to talk to Jordan and see how’s he’s feeling/what he thinks. 

So we lost the challenge...I thought I did great and I ended up tying for one of the worst scores. Idol hunts haven’t gone well, I believe someone has one already. I know Josh is going for me..I’m pretty sure John and Jessica are with him, and hopefully nobody else...I’m trying to get a solid with with Ellie, Kim, Daniel and myself. I don’t know if it’s going to work out but it’s my only plan this far. I’m expecting at least 3 votes at tribal

It’s honestly can’t believe we lost! Kudos to the other team for guessing correctly... 😒 Now the fun begins... I have no idea who’s getting voted out. I have a few close relationships with Jordan and with Josh, but seems like they both want each other out... I don’t know what I’m going to do.

~~~~~

Josh forms the Misfits alliance with Ellie, John, and Jessica so that he can have a majority.

Josh expresses concern about an idol being played on Jordan to Ellie and John. He tells him his grand plan to vote out Jordan.

Kim expresses to Ellie idol paranoia. Ellie rats to him about Josh going against him very quickly and willingly. She is not afraid to throw people under the bus when they are being messy.

The tribal is seemingly Jordan vs Josh

A split vote begins to be talked about between the Misfits with John and Josh spearheading the discussion. Josh volunteers to get his name thrown around to keep people’s scent off him and John’s intent to vote Jordan.

Josh causes a lot of unnecessary chaos by spreading lies and deceit. He throws out everyone’s name to everyone to get people against each other. He tells Kim to target Ellie, and tells Ellie that Jordan said that. Daniel rats out Jordan to Josh, making him suspicious

COUNT TO FOUR JOSH YOU DONT HAVE IT

Tonight was hectic. Everyone was scrambling around trying to figure out who the target is. Everyone's name was brought up. I didn't hear mine but I'm pretty certain Jordan threw it out. Ellie was very suspicious tonight as she was online for a long time but was not responding to any messages. I brought up an idea to blindside her but I quickly shot it down because it was too early to make that big of a move. We eventually settled on voting Jordan. John, Daniel, Kim, Ellie, and Jess are down. I just hope they stick to their word and that Jordan doesn't play an idol. This has been so stressful

THIS TRIBE IS SO MESSY OMFG . Now Josh is trying to get me to vote out Daniel, Daniel ratted me and Ellie out , I ratted Josh out to Daniel to gain his trust , Daniel doesn't trust Jordan because i ratted Daniel out to Jordan and Jordan ratted that information out .LORD HAVE MERCY THE MESS. 

~~~~~

Ellie, Jordan, and Kim form an alliance (Idrk). It is now Ellie, Jordan, Kim vs. John, Jordan, and Jessica. The J’s do not realize that they do not have Ellie on their side as she has successfully been ratting them out.

Daniel seems to be the swing vote. 

I'm probably going to eat my words again , but Daniel and I firmed a connection after I told him Josh wanted him out and I'm feeling good about it. 

Hey it’s me again. Haha. Soo I heard my name go out there by Jordan, which makes sense because we both had the highest scores. Jordan hasn’t replied to my last message so I’m going to say it’s true. Guess what Jordan, I’m voting you out. And I’m fighting to get you out. Side note, there was talk that Ellie may be double crossing the misfits alliance. Therefore, The guys considering back dooring her. But I think I shut that down. Even if it’s true I don’t think she’s after me. I’m not voting out a girl. Especially since we are the only two. So I hope she at least has my back, because I have hers. I also really trust Kim and josh. I haven’t talked much to John but I trust him for now since he’s in the misfits alliance. And I don’t trust Daniel at all. But I’ll play nice.   Anyways, BYEEE JORDAN. Not going to miss you. Xo

So we lost the immunity challenge today..not good. Especially because I tied at performing the worst with another tribe mate. I am very concerned with how things will potentially go tomorrow. Josh has had it out for me for days now, ever since I assumed him and josh were partners. It seems most of the tribe is on edge as far as who to vote for and who to side with. My plan right now is to group together Ellie, Kim, and Daniel, to vote out one of the other three. This has been a freakin roller coaster, I go from thinking everything is fine and dandy one minute, then the next everything is screwed. I feel like I can trust Kim and Ellie, Daniel I am praying is on my side because if he isn’t, it may be all over for me..my worst fear is that everything will to my way but then an idol could be played to screw my plans. since josh is going for me I’m assuming he will think I’m going to get him too, therefore I intend on targeting John or Jessica in case josh wants to play an idol. I hope things feel more solid tomorrow..

~~~~~

John is wary and is contemplating whether or not to utilize his Safety Without Power tonight. People are being quiet with him which feeds into his paranoia.

Ellie, Jordan, and Kim finalize that they will be voting for Josh.

So looks like Josh is officially our target. I realllly hope this tribal goes well because I feel our group of four, being Ellie, Kim, Dan, and myself will grow so strong if we all vote the way we are supposed to. I still feel like it would be a miracle for me to not get as least 3 votes tonight. I’m coming for you Josh!!!

John uses his Safety Without Power for no reason as his name was not being thrown out. This will put a big target on his back going into subsequent rounds if his tribe has to go to tribal again.

Oop I just used my SWP because I don’t trust any of these snakes. Someone is going out tonight and it’s not me. Now I’m just gonna pray for a tribe swap so I can sell these nobodies down the river. 

We are about to go to tribal... I was very close with Josh and was going to vote out Jordan because that seemed to be the consensus. That was until Kim and I solidified a deal and basically figured out Josh was playing everyone. Kim told me Josh made a final deal with him and after much talking, we realized Josh was putting everyone against each other. So we figured out a plan for tonight and we are hoping no one plays an idol.

HI IM GONNA WRITE MORE davekat because im disgustin

i made this little babie post that said like, dave hides in cramped little spaces like closets and laundry rooms sometimes and needs to be coaxed out, and ye!! its mostly when hes close to his version of panic over a delusion, oh no, oh no im not safe, where is, i cant find it, i need, i cant, everyones looking to kill me, im horrible, ive failed and im still failing, things like that? all hidden behind his flat mouth expression and No Words, and when it gets really bad the expression doesnt change at all but maybe he starts crying with how pent-up afraid he is and has to dip three fingers behind his shades to wipe the tears onto the sleeve of his god pjs , and, something has to Happen, and if theres no way to fight whats happening, and no one is around right now like its the middle of the night, the only option is to hide??

so imagine at like 4 am on the meteor or even in his lil house on earth c or just wherever, dave stalking down the hallways with his 1/2swordkind in his hands, clutched so freakin tight, and hes Cool and doesnt have much adrenaline even though hes scared bc he knows he needs to stay calm to fight if something jumps out at him, and there are so many perceived threats even though hes maybe actually totally safe, and hes on guard while he walks to ,,,, somewhere? anywhere thats more unfamiliar and cramped than his room, because whatevers stalking him would obviously know to check his bedroom for the man himself, so maybe he goes to the little walk-in food pantry they’ve got and shuffles aside some big bags of whatever of makeshift storage to hide behind them, or like, hides way back behind the laundry machines and, wherever, he curls up really tight with his knees to his chest and his specibus tucked away and ready to be drawn in a split second should he need it, and he’s so used to hunkering down in weird spots from his childhood, ugh, its just too natural and too bringing-back-memories, ugh, dangit

so he just kind of sits back there, totally hidden, and lets his adrenaline build up and he starts trembling and just kinds of , waits, for the feeling to pass, might , take a while , ah

and karkat and him have had this routine that he’s foregone today in favor of heavy dissociation, karkat hangs out in the main room with a book he’s reading and waits for dave to wake up even though dave wakes up like two or three hours after he does, its cool, he can use the reading time? its no big deal? its a big book anyways, but then, it’s four hours that hes been hanging out in the common room, and then five, and um, hes getting bored of reading, like u cant just read forever hehe

after five and a half hours he decides to go over to daves block and just wake him the heck up, itd be kinda cute to see him all sleepy and he totally has this image of messy-haired shadeless dave in his head, and hes kind of in a good mood, and he knocks, and theres obviously no answer so he punches in dave’s doors password like its nothing, nbd, and daves literally just

not in there

wtf ,,,, there goes his good mood hehe dave just Doesnt skip their whole eating breakfast together in the morning thing, either theyre about to argue or somethings kinda wrong?? is dave hurt or something?? did he get kidnapped by somebody on his way to the bathroom?? he laughs a little, and over the next hour he asks around for dave and gets a thorough “nuh uh” answer from just about everybody, and then, um, where the heck is dave. where’d he go.

after asking literally everybody he asks rose and kanaya last and kanaya sort of looks really worried?? oh no,, rose explains to him with equal worrie that maybe dave isnt feeling well, and we’ll keep an eye out, but she’s being freaking cryptic in the way karkat hates about her and he just leaves without unendingly pressing her about it bc he knows its useless by now lol

so for the next hour and a half hes just. looking where dave usually likes to go

dave isnt at any of his favorite spots, and if its earth c he even asks daves favorite cafe’s baristas if theyve seen him yet, and they say no, and its literally the afternoon?? um?? ugh

he’s gone freaking everywhere and karkat just ends up back at home or back where he started and he just ,,,,,, doesnt know what to do

its been hours and hours, its almost been like, all day, and karkat misses him, damniiiiiit, hes so sad :( in his Misery he wanders down the hall to make something to eat since he literally hasnt eaten , he ................... sees daves red outfit in the dark from where hes hiding under the shelving.........

wow , he just has this little second, like “um,” and he has this second to look and see his knees to his chest and his hands still clutching his hair, sort of frozen like that, and karkat crouches and says “dave..?” and dave startles and his hands re-clutch into white hair and oh no, oh god its happening, its happening im gonna die, oh no, this is just and im gonna be gone oh no fuck fuck and he cant stop some more tears from just Pouring omfg and he kicks out his cover, a big tub of whatever miscellaneous, and his 1/2swordkind is back in his hands and shielding his body from karkat, and karkat says “hey, whoa” and holds up his empty hands, “its just me dave, karkat, its karkat” and dave doesnt move, and his mouth is in a grimace, he totally just, caught that hes holding up his sword at his boyfriend?? karkat?? karkat’s here, this is karkat he’s looking at, and karkat just watches him, and settles a little when dave does, and his sword lowers a little as he falters, um, and he realizes he made a mistake, wtf omg

hahaha umm, but hes still so sure karkat is here to kill him maybe?? that might actually happen ,,, so dave does lower his sword and set it aside VERY slowly and cautiously without turning his eyes away from karkat, but he doesnt move from where he is , um,

and karkat settles out of his crouch and sits down on the floor there, and like, “have u been hiding here the whole time?” and dave stares at him like hes surprised karkats here?!?!?!?!? when did karkat get here wtf

an hes dissociating out of his darn mind, like it feels like hes been hiding behind this big box for years,,,,, and most of him feels like hes vulnerable with the box pushed out and away and he has to cover himself back up in case Someone Else comes in, and part of him is so happy his boyfriends here, karkat can make it safe, when he was upset earlier karkat was asleep and he couldn’t verbalize his emotions to wake him up or anything, omg, and dave just stares at him a whole bunch without even blinking, just taking in that his boyfriends here >w< dangit that would personally make me so happy too arg 

karkat asks if he ate anything today, and asks when dave started hiding in here, and dave cant even process what hes saying to him but its okay!! karkat says, if you come out we can grab some food, i bet youre hungry right? and dave totally realizes that the cramps in his middle are actually from not having eaten and not from internal stomach insects and it must be really late in the day? and dave nods a little, and thats really good, really good that hes responding, honestly its been more than 12 hours and his back hurts really bad and his butts Beyond Numb and he could really use a blanket and a bowl of cereal .......

so karkat inches into dave’s hiding spot with him, sort of over the course of their conversation, and then by the time dave’s nodding or shaking his head to his questions karkat is back there in the dark with him, and he comments on how cramped it is back here what the heck?? how are u not atrophied?? and literally within One Minute dave is hugging him, he even initiates it because dave is a total cuddle monster, and they just sort of hug for a little while , and 

theyre so cute :(

karkat instructs dave to shuffle out of there with him, and he helps dave up and supports his weight for a minute because his joints Freaking Hurt, and he holds him up until dave stops trembling and then they hold hands together really tightly and go and make something easy to eat like cereal or hot pockets or what ever

and then they eat the hot pockets

and its good

and dave still isnt talking but thats cool, hes still a little fragile, but its ok, dave is nodding and tapping his fingertips silently on his thigh and maybe he’s not feeling it yet but hes warming up, karkat can make up for the other half of silence , its really nice to get food in him, and within the next hour he says “what the hell, karkat” and then “you’d think they’d know how to make those” and its clear dave is gettin back in the swing of things :p 

and that is the story of dave spending 16 hours hiding in a food pantry ... thnk u im garbage

[canarhys]

Honestly, after his life and death, Leo would absolutely be traumatized.

The dude died and he said it was the worst experience he felt in his life. Like hell he’d get over it easily:

he was so used to heat, but for once in his life, he actually felt like his insides were churning from the inside out

this led him using his fire powers less than he already did

he even begins to be afraid of fire, the one thing he’s immune to

also he gets easily scared by loud noises

he nearly becomes deaf because of the experience, and when his friends talk to him they had to repeat what they said several times

but after his hearing heals, he still remembers the loud bomb of the explosion and was forever scarred

he cant even handle balloons popping without screaming

everyone makes sure not to scare him with loud sounds

he just works on quiet projects since he cant handle loud noises anymore

he also has a great fear of explosions

whenever it’s chariot racing time he sits alone with festus in bunker nine because he cant handle the bombs and crashes

one time there was an explosion in the forges and he had to be calmed down by everyone

or in the alternative: he becomes deaf

he cant hear the sweet banging in the forges or the voices of his best friends

all he hears is just SILENCE and it’s horrible

his friends use sign language until he learns how to read lips

he works to make his own ear aid

he also lost his own left arm in the explosion

although he easily made his own prosthetic

however he worries that maybe he’s cheating when he makes or repairs new machines because of his new arm

everyone doesn’t let him think that way and says its because of his brilliant mind that he created so many beauties

he cant handle things staying still for too long

he goes to sleep late and wakes up so early since he hates having dreams or just plain darkness

he’s not as loud or joyous as he was before

he’s still afraid

at first he’s quiet and paranoid, still shivering from death’s cold touch

he becomes afraid of death

he hardly went on quests or even participated in normal camp activities

he doesn’t like hearing rumors or actual news about someone dying

after the war and especially after his death, he suffered more immensely from PTSD, BPD, dependent personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and even PPD

he touches his scars at night that reminded him of his abusive foster homes, life on the streets, and the whole quest thing

i forgot to mention, but he also has a few burn marks for some weird reason - probably a punishment for cheating death

every time he looks at them he just curls up into his bed and cries

also as a headcanon, as punishment for cheating death due to Asclepius resurrecting him, he gets sent to tartarus

after that shit, he hardly smiled

he hates going out into the mortal world but he also hates staying copped up in camp half-blood

hes at that point where he just wants to drown and disappear

especially when during his death he thought he heard his mama call out to him

it broke him

he wakes up every night, whimpering and calling out to his mom and saying sorry

hes still not over her death and still thinks he killed her

I feel like ya’ll are sad by now, but fear not:

finally he’s so fucking done with everything, with the war and monsters and the voices inside his head

he could still hear gaea in his head and it makes him scream

so he decides to run away

he packs his shit and everything and leaves - or, tries to

turns out nico’s there nearby thalia’s tree and stops him

leo tries to get past him but nico knows what he’s doing and tries to help him but leo is just pushing and screaming at him to leave him alone

nico’s only saying comforting words and holding to his hand with no force but leo even goes as far to try to punch him

after what seemed like hours leo finally calmed down and slowly sat in front of the pine tree and nico sits next to him while the latino boy cries

leo finally spills

he starts talking/signing about everything he’s been feeling and experiencing ever since he came back from the dead

about how much he wants his mom back and he hates his dad to leave him on the streets and the stupid gods for making life so fucking difficult

he’s at a crossroads where he wants to die but he’s afraid of death and it just makes him feel so alone and insecure and he just cries until his throat is raspy and his eyes are incredibly puffy and red

nico’s crying too

suddenly, he’s shocked when nico talks/signs about how his life was messed up too

he’s still horrified at bianca’s death and blames percy so much and he’s still not over his crush on him

like he hates him but he idolizes him, and its tearing him apart

he just wants a normal love life but instead he got unrequited love and it slowly tore him apart to where he became even more cold and quiet

and then he talks about how his life on the streets were too, how he hates how his father kept secrets from him, how bianca left him more than once times, how his trek in tartarus left him with scars and intense nightmares

he’s afraid of death too

and he knows how leo feels, to be trapped and sorrowed by our own lives and dreams

but he stopped running away

he tells leo that his friends are here for him, even though it must not seem like it

hes felt what leo’s felt and refuses to let him deal with it alone

he knows leo’s still paranoid about being left out as the seventh wheel and says that without the seventh wheel the car wouldn’t be what it was today

he dealt with his pain alone and it ended with him feeling like an outcast, so he cant leave leo to take it on himself by running away like he did

and he makes a promise on the river styx that he’ll help him

leo’s just quiet and aghast

then silent tears come down his face, relieved that he isn’t alone in this world

that he doesn’t have to be only one to carry his burden

he asks nico if hes alright with helping someone as miserable as him, and nico nods, saying he didn’t make a styx promise for nothing

and even if leo still has horrible nightmares or anxieties or if he even goes insane, he’ll stay with him

and leo for once feels at ease

he lays his head on nico’s shoulder and for once hes at peace

nico doesn’t mind

after that, leo slowly recovers

hes not okay but hes getting better

he finally got a hearing aid and almost cried of joy when he could hear everything / he starts to talk a bit louder and isn’t as scared as he was with loud sounds

his nightmares and visions and voices are still there but he talks about them with nico and his best friends

he still has several disorders and is far from getting over them but luckily he has people behind his back

he gives prosthetics and other useful items to disabled kids in camp

he hangs out with his friends a lot more and actually laughs for the first time in a few months

he joins the rest of the seven + nico and reyna to talk about happier times before and after the quest

he sometimes talks with chiron about his problems since the old man is loving and kind and deserves more respect

he even finds new friends that he never thought would happen (thalia, drew, will, the stolls, clarisse, etc)

him and nico never actually talked before the little half-blood hill thing, but afterwards they started to get to know each other better

they talked about their problems and interests and everything that happened in their lives

leo never felt this kind of feeling of freedom and hope and love with anyone

eventually after several years they got together and honestly they couldn’t be happier

finally, leo and his mom

his wonderwall let him have a small, limited talk with her and leo was incredibly anxious

so nico summons her and its the most heartbreaking event ever

leo tries to hug her and esperanza tries too but they realize theyre in different worlds whoops

so they just express their deep love and missing each other, and leo talks about everything thats happened and even talks about how he blamed himself for her death

esperanza doesn’t let him think that

she tells him he was the best gift to her in her whole existence, and she wants him to always remember her - but not kill himself for her

she wants him to be happy, and she wants him to always remember her existence

and leo feels so much weight lifted from his chest

leo might have illusions and dreams and visions and voices and disorders that still horrify him

but he also has an amazing soulmate, great friends that are with him forever, a loving mother, and a bunch of demigods who share his pain and will be with him till the end

his life isn’t perfect

but its still beautiful

You all can add more!

My Personal Escape Notebook

I never was good song writer, never made poems which actually got people’s attention, or if I did I dont think I impressed the people who read it at all. I know some people at school see me as the type to get myself busy doing a hobby, making music and poetry or make terrible drawings that actually look decent in my eyes, sketch out stuff or look emo by writing down lyrics of good songs that have good meanings, truth be told I am that kind of person, but behind that I’ve been meaning to ask everyone to just listen to me, for once rant out loud about something I wished I could say infront of everyone, but that wish never came true, so instead I opted for the more introverted version of sharing my personal problems implicitly, through songs. 

All my songs have meaning, I try to make sure they dont become one of those ‘Sex-Drugs-Fame’ type of deal where one message repeats across nine different songs with different tunes to ensure it doesnt sound the same- No, I make sure that each of what I write is purposely expressing something I have in mind, kind of like how im indirectly speaking to myself as I continue to type right now, I do have the occasional spurs of self consciousness written down into a song, people think its nice and that makes me feel good about it, though they dont really know the true meaning behind it. One of my songs entitled Helping Hand goes: Tell me, help me, give me a helping hand show me my habits, half of them I barely understand give me you’re opinion, and judge me as I am Im afraid of my demons, my grip tightens on my chest! Hold out your hand and tell me what you live for I will not give in, I will never lose in any war hold out your arm, I swear I might feel better show me a way to live and we might just live together This talks of my constant fear of being left out, hence ‘hold out your arm, I swear I might feel better’. Being an outcast is scary, lonely, eventually you get used to the comfort of someone elses voice but knowing they have much more important things to do that spending a short time with you, thats one of my greatest fears, that I open myself up to people who dont care, but at the same time I appreciate those people who dont care, it makes me want to be one myself ‘a person who just doesnt care’. I put myself into the lives of others too much, because im afraid to live my own, the only family i’ve known is broken to hell, my father is being a dipshit and my mother is in constant pain or stress, the person who took care of me for 16 years was my grandmother, and shes gone, now im left with a grandfather who doesnt care. My relatives from my fathers side all side with his idiocy and choosing another partner and my mother is constantly suffering from those glaring eyes from my father’s side, best part is, they’re not even at home, theyre far off, somewhere I wish i’d never go to.

I keep my personal thoughts to myself because I know people wont care. Im sure of it, or maybe its because I understand that im not the only one who has problems? I dont know. I try to give out that ‘friendly vibe’ to everyone but apparently what they receive from me is ‘Weak’ which is why people like Nico call me gay, and probably even the boys from ABM, they probably think im gay, which might also be the reason why Angel thinks she can just push me around, take my things and get mad at me for no reason because she knows that my conscience gets to me before my rationality of who’s wrong and right.

If for one week I decided to stop giving off that aura, people would instantaneously judge me, as a terrible person for the rest of the school year. They’ve gotten so used to me trying my best to be a good person that they’ve forgotten there are times where I cant, and they immediately think im being a hypocrite to my own words.

Sometimes I just want to say fuck you to them for no absolute reason and feel good about it, but i’ll keep those thoughts to myself.

The Eyes of Ara Review

Puzzle is the name of the game with this charmingly interesting indie title from one hundred Stones Active. Well not literally The name of the Game is literally Typically the Eyes associated with Ara and its game, figuratively speaking, is usually mystery. A bit of research for this crowdfunded point-and-clicker will reveal enchanting photos of a huge castle along with towers in addition to bridges, luxurious interiors within the traditional haunted mansion visual, and weird electronic tools. Anyone with a slight knowledge of games inside the adventure-puzzle genre would be able to make obligatory assessment to the online games in the Myst series, simply based on these kinds of images. How can The Eyes of Perroquet turn out? Will it reel an individual in with their beautiful landscapes and then give you bored with fifty repetitive clue-fetching quests? Will it be another average Myst-like? Or possibly, if they are an optimist, The Eyes of Perroquet will be just like grand in addition to impressive inside as it is about its surface. The game begins with a soft boat drive up to the castles side hanches. You eliminate a note out of your suitcase in addition to read that, filling you in around the dire circumstance. Apparently, theres some unusual signal becoming broadcast through deep inside the castle, changing the border villages conversation services. To set it inside a simpler way, youre only a tech delivered by the cell phone company to keep their customers enjoyably paying. But hey, very few people have the chance to discover free online adventure games an ancient, forgotten castle at work, so why not? Quickly, the world floods in around you as you notice pizza containers and soda cans littered about the entrance area. A well known place for youths to spend the night time, it seems. This provides the feeling that theres not be afraid of in this spot. Its an old constructing with some unusual quirks. Nothing scary

You brain inside the substantial structure, fixing some incredibly simple vague ideas on the way to the particular entrance hall. The place is surprisingly well-kept. Maybe there's a washing service or even a caretaker. The environment is furnished with a multitude of little flavorings, filling the fort with history and depth. This meshes fantasticly with the selection of written text messaging youll be discovering through. Notes, record entries, buy invoices, device blueprints almost all feel intimately at home amongst dusty workstations and cob-webbed cabinets. These documents let you know the interested story from the houses prior residents. A spiritual mother who thought the house free online hunting games has been haunted by simply ghosts, a couple of excitable kids who explore the rooms in search of experience, and a wily old dad who usually spends most of his / her time in the tower conducting odd experiments. This specific group of characters becomes the main source of storytelling throughout the numerous rooms in addition to hallways in the great fort. These items of story are usually peppered evenly throughout the numerous mental challenges that slow down your improvement through the rooms. At times, these kinds of puzzles feel so easy that I couldnt help yet roll my eyes as I position the pieces set up. In these moments, I really needed to wonder what good emerged of which include such effortless challenges whatsoever. Fortunately, typically the puzzles gradually ramp up within complexity in addition to difficulty as you roam further into the fort. For the most part, typically the puzzles stay straight-forward plus logical, needing some gentle inventory work, jigsawing, plus hidden item searching. Additionally, there are clues spread around, that you simply will need to bear in mind, so its free playing games online a smart point to utilize your current screenshot button or a notepad and pen. Beyond these kinds of puzzles, the overall game consists of a large array of invisible items plus collectibles. If not for the few puzzles which appear to be made for people underneath the age of 7, The Eyes regarding Ara might feel genuinely polished in addition to filled out with regards to gameplay. Much of the complete feeling that I point out above originates from the enjoyment of going through the dozens of bedrooms (along with many other hidden rooms! ) within the property. Here, the frustrating reality of the style is that the wish to explore these kinds of lush room is impeded by the statuesque position in the player. There is always something curious that just begs to become clicked on, that is simply not clickable! So , even with youve finished the game and received typically the congratulatory music and the acceptable vision in the credits rolling offscreen, youre still not quite sure if there was a few hidden dilemna that you just couldnt get to.

This plays a role in the other faux pas I noticed within the Eyes regarding Ara, plus thats the surprising amount of linearity that the sprawling fortress seems to be constructed upon. There are three or four chapters of the castle, and theyre each gated by the primary puzzle that must definitely be solved prior to progressing. The initial several rooms are one-off puzzles that you never really need to revisit. The fourth puzzle I will remember contains pushing 2 buttons concealed within a room using the expression hidden softly here, because the buttons had been sitting out in plain look at with virtually no understandable circumstance. Many of the vague ideas and solutions have nothing at all to do with typically the wonderfully embellished rooms theyre a part of. Regardless of this, the game is gripping in addition to entertaining more often than not. The Eyes of Ara is natural. The story webs perfectly with the ambiance, which can be only cut off by the apparently arbitrary puzzles positioned all around us in ways of which youd picture would be incredibly inconvenient for anyone actually surviving in the castle. The music will be soothing however mysterious, egging you upon but maintaining you off edge. The graphics while nothing stellar are solid and suit my notion of such an aged and stimulating place and also I could think about. The puzzles vary inside difficulty significantly, but the the greater part are quite rousing. All-in-all, The particular Eyes regarding Ara isa relaxing sport that would create most enthusiasts of the genre quite delighted. Theres a solid 15 hrs of exploring and puzzling ahead, thus its the best thing that their an easy game to pick up make down, each time solving just a small slice more of the mystery of The Eyes of Perroquet.

wait no listen to me

Listen Seth/Eirika is so valid but when you play twin characters, the female one being so Unknowing and Innocent and needing a man to explain everything to her all the for the majority of her arc (Seth) while the male twin is fucking going buckwild being insane answering to no one I'm squinting at you suspiciously. Maybe let Eirika be capable of things on her own. Please. At least make it so Seth isn't doing exposition every chapter.

What was Eirika going to even do when Ephraim was being put through the ringer being told to be king?? Like he's being trained for that, whats she bring trained for??? What, was she gonna just be There. Let her talk about her training to be a diplomat for her Kingdom or her wanting to be on the ground taking care of her people. She can be unsure, but I want a resolution with this that isn't just her fucking off with her partner with no mention of what her life would have been if this whole story hadn't happened. Shes a female lord, please let her be a main character in her own story and not an excessively focused on Support for Ephraim.

Seriously I want some better explanation for why Eirika, the person who obviously cares more about politics and the kingdom, is being passed up for Ephraim, who was shown to be super self-centered and running away from his role until he realized that actually he was kind of being a bastard and needed to give a shit about his kingdom. Its great character development for him, sure, but if you give birth to twins, why aren't you letting the one with the greater aptitude for ruling be trained for it??? What would have happened if Ephraim had never learned to do better??? Like I could say its in-universe sexism but I don't really want that to be the reason because sexism in this world isn't well explored and going with that feels shallow.

I'm not saying Eirika has to be Queen because ultimately I think she could do a lot more as someone On The Ground Seeing The People, but I need more well written thought put into her life.

The portraits changing expressions like they have in the more recent games would be so great for her, I need her to have a raised eyebrow as she says "I can't help you with your image problems, Innes." please give her really emotional and expressive portraits that put her sass and humor full on display she deserves it. She is not just the vaguely smiling kind princess she is so funny and she has mischief in her heart. Look at her making fun of Forde. Please give this to me.

I need them to give us some high quality Eirika/L'Arachel. I don't care if it becomes canon I just need more of them in general. Maybe a little kiss. Actually wait I'm in charge. They get an Ending Together where they either get married or theyre really gay. I want an ending like that for Ephraim and Innes too.

the games tend to treat the twins and Lyon as if they were childhood friends despite them only knowing each other for like two years and its really funny, but I might have them push it to be childhood friends just because I don't see any reason why not to do that. Have them meet every summer but never through the winter, allowing Lyon to feel the cold lacking of their presence. Let them be really intense about each other. Give me more friendship content. Give me Lyon's issues for Longer and More. He can fit so much long-term angst inside him.

Don't remove Eirika's gentleness and kindness. Ever. This whole story should be her having to test her faith in Good Kind Love And Friendship against the horrors of war and the betrayal of allies and friends. I love her wrestling with that and being so afraid that she might be wrong, that people might not be inherently good, but still pressing on with her ideals and ultimately being rewarded for that with peace being restored. But also-

Eirika still gives Lyon the stone in her route and its fucked up and I think with this cool updated models stuff we can really get into this idea that shes being tricked and her kindness is being used against her. Give Lyon this really fucked up half corrupted model with Monster Edelgard vibes, let scales and claws and darkness be seeping out of him. Really hammer home the idea that this is a corrupted man and that there's so many stories where you can bring people back from the brink, and Eirika is a person who believes in that. Honestly even foreshadow it with stories of happy endings and codexs on the Five Heroes and their journey, character we don't even get to know much about. Make any person who doesn't already know how this is going to end really believe they can help Lyon and feel Eirika's devastation when they realize they can't.

Also I think they should flex more on the twins opposing flaws??? Like, Eirika gives too much, more than she can afford. Ephraim gives too little, hurting the people around him for his goals. (Important note: Martyrdom is in fact a flaw and Eirika's flaw isn't "better" than Ephraim's, see the issue with Lyon's betrayal above. There is such a thing as not being selfish enough, and its called lacking self preservation. People are not heroes for lacking self preservation.) Like I want more parallels being drawn between these two other than "will stab you vs will talk to you". We get TWO LORDS we need to USE THIS.

Seriously we need more lore about The Five Heroes and maybe even Nada Kuya. Some background murals at least. Please god give me Magvel lore we're never going to get another game set in this region I at least want crumbs.

Maybe uhhhh touch up Colm and Neimi's supports a bit. Just a little. A tiny bit less mean mayhaps.

Why don't Eirika and Tana get to kiss?????

Tana needs to get more too actually please give her so many things in life she deserves it, she has Innes as her brother.

Innes needs therapy but he's never going to get it so I think we should have a map with rain so we can leave him out there soaking wet like a sad pathetic cat. I think this would be good for him.

Marisa and Tethys should have an ending where they kiss. Alternatively they still kiss but Gerik also gets to be there sometimes and he's a bottom.

Joshua should be required to attend to that final conversation with his mom if he is in the party, and his mom should get the chance to be really dramatic with her master swordfighting and land a crit on someone if she must die. I want her taking out hoards of enemies before falling. I want the player to be in awe of her and really upset she can't be in the party because of how op she is.

Lets get more Knoll. Lets get more Selena. Lets get some more Syrene even. I want more dialogue and lore from Everyone who got minimal focus or was a latecomer this time around.

Monica should still be entirely offscreen and you should be left to imagine how fucked up her existence is.

I need them to make an update of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones but I'm in charge of all the writing decisions. They disrespected my girl Eirika so fucking badly the first time around, I'll fight them
