[bonny-kookoo]

the 'I like you' couple is soo cute 💖💗💓❤️ but now we need to know! 🥺 does jungkook find a nickname for her? does he really think about it? does he try out a few before deciding which one he likes? or does she does or likes something random or particular and he gets the nickname from teasing her? or he just has a light bulb moment on a random moment? lol, I love them, can't get enough!!

A/N: Masterlist

"Baaaaaby-kookoo-love-of-my-life-" you whine, and he squints his eyes as he walks into his bedroom where you're laying on your back. "My tummy hurts." You complain, and he sits down on the edge of his bed next to you to take of his socks.

"...okay?" He wonders, and you kick him with your foot a little.

"Make it better." You demand, and he chuckles.

"How?" He wonders, and you scoff.

"The fuck do I know!" You huff. "Like, I don't know, talk to it? Maybe it'll get intimidated if you're all angry with it." You offer as a solution, and to your surprise, he turns around and points an accusing finger at your lower stomach.

"You better stop fucking hurting right now because I want to go sleep and God knows my spoiled princess won't shut up until you're quiet.!" He threatens at your body, before he turns around and closes the opened window before turning off the lights as he crawls into bed next to you.

It's quiet for a moment, until you speak.

"I'm both mildly turned on and offended right now." You say, and he snorts a laugh, hand patting over the blankets to find yours to hold in the dark. "Spoiled princess? Really?" You scoff.

"You are one." He defends himself.

"I mean, a princess? Hell fucking yes, and you better start carrying me around as one from now on, prince charming!" You laugh, and he rolls his eyes in the dark.

"You're spoiled enough." He says, closing his eyes.

"So?" You ask, before a slap is heard.

And its quiet.

For a good moment.

"Did you just slap my ass?!" You yell out, sitting up, and he laughs whole heartedly.

"Was it? I couldn't tell." He laughs.

"Oh so you just blindly aimed to smack me and ACCIDENTALLY hit my ass? Fucking lying piece of shit, you knew exactly what you-"

"Do I need to spank you again, or are you gonna be a good girl and sleep?" He asks. "You've got work at 6 am, and I need to be up at 5:30." He reminds you, and you suddenly fall back into the pillows, scooting closer, closer, until you're full on clinging onto him.

"...jungkookie..?" You ask quietly, awfully shy. He hums a reply. "Can you say it again?" You ask.

"You have work tomorrow-"

"Nooo, that part before that? Like, I did what you said so I'm aaaaaa~?" You draw out the last syllable, wiggling your toes as you wait, and he suddenly chuckles.

"Good Girl." He says, and you squeal to yourself, cuddling up to him.

It's the first time he's ever really comfortable saying things like that- and maybe it's the way you've gotten closer by now, not only emotionally. Yesterday he'd been so lost in kissing you that he didn't even notice you getting so riled up on his lap- and it left him both excited and terrified.

And these days, he's been trying out some petnames for you here and there to see what would stick.

Babe or baby are cute when you say it, but they feel way too boring to him. They're too basic, nothing special, and it just doesn't feel right.

Until you're out at a shopping center, randomly spending a day at the mall together when you spot something in a kid's store window. "Oh- did you know I always wanted to be a princess for Halloween?" You say, spooning up some icecream from your cup. "But my dad never bought me the costume, and we never went trick-or-treat-ing." You pout, making Jungkook smile as he tucks in a strand of hair that had escaped your messy bun on your head.

"Well, you're a princess to me now, no need for a costume." He shrugs. "And I even buy you candy, so you don't have to knock on stranger's doors either." He jokes, and you look up at him at that, pulling him down by the neckline of his shirt to peck his lips. "Huh?" He wonders, and you just smile.

"You're just so dreamy." You sigh dramatically. "Your flirting is getting a bit out of hand though. Makes me feel all fluffy and horny." You boldly admit, making him laugh as he shakes his head, taking your empty cup from you to throw it away in a bin nearby. "Ah, such a prince charming!" You giggle, and he takes your hand In his at that, kissing the back of it for a second.

Successfully making you blush for the first time since he's met you.

And he's starting to really enjoy making you flustered.

 “My my, one of your famed daggers? Are you flirting with me?”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA skdjfglhsdhgsdg TONYYYY i want to defile him I WANT TO DEFILE HIIIIIM I WANT TO TEACH HIM WHAT FLIRTING MEANS AND THAT IT INVOLVES TONGUE SO EVERY TIME HE TRIES TO "FLIRT" HIS TONGUE IS DOWN MY THROAT IN FRONT OF THE ELDERS AAAAAA

i hope he is a virgin. i hope we get to pop his cherry. i hope he barely knows what sex is bc the elders couldnt have him sowing his seed all over the place as a horny teen. i want pouty horny satoru with his pretty fat cock dripping and his pretty eyes and his STUPID grin asking me what he should do with it.

i want to show him porn for the first time and he goes insane and he has 50 new positions to try and several of these scenarios need audiences so he summons the elders - or ichiji - or suguru -

TYSMMM for reading and hmhmmmm who knows 👀

[ladylooch]

omg i have a very soft lexi and nico thought.... nico coming home from a game and being greeted by luc and lex just showering him with smooches and hugs 🥰🥰

or him watching them play together or dressing up and being overcome with love for his girls ❤️

nico is just the softest dad ever 😫😫

Nico is exhausted. He massages his forehead for a moment while he waits for the elevator to bring him to the floor of their apartment. 

Soon, he won’t need to take an elevator at all.

Next week, him, Lexi and Lucie will move into their new home. He can’t wait. Although he is anxious about it happening during the season, he knows it was worth the additional wait to renovate before moving in.

The apartment is silent when he walks in. The afternoon game earlier makes his arrival at home right as Lucie is winding down for bed. Nico is intentionally quiet, listening for where Lexi may be at the goodnight stage with their daughter. He walks to his little girl’s room, finding himself sad at the emptiness he finds. Most of Lucie’s things are in boxes, ready to be moved by the professionals in a few days. For some reason, it makes his chest ache to leave this specific room behind.

If he could, he’s pack it into a box and reopen it to be the same in their new home. It’s a special place. Lexi perfectly curated it when she was pregnant, including Nico even when he was on the road. He spent various nights inside it, moving furniture around with Timo while Emma and Lexi directed. It always ended up back like this with her crib right below her name. 

Nico focuses back to the hallway and sees their bedroom door cracked open with soft light filtering out into the hall. He smiles, hearing Lucie’s soft, excited voice coming from within.

She’s still awake.

Happiness bursts in Nico’s chest. He hates when she is asleep before he gets home. He goes to sleep feeling like something is missing.

But not tonight.

Indiscernible English comes from his daughter’s lips as he steps into the doorway. Her English is difficult for him to understand. He is constantly looking at Lexi for guidance. Somehow, she understands the mumbled language.

“Yes, you can start over.” Lexi murmurs, moving a hair brush through Lucie’s, wet hair. 

“Aaaaaa, Beeeeeee, Ceeeeee.” Lucie extends her letters out. Her sweet, little voice makes Nico close his eyes. His shoulder hits the door jam so he can absorb the scene. 

“Leeeeee.” Lucie continues.

“Close, baby. Try Deeeee.”

“Leeee!!!” She repeats again, more excited. Her little finger points across to the wall where pictures of our family are. One is of all of us with Timo, Emma, and Lio- thus her excitement. 

“Oh you’re right. That’s Lee.”

“Lee.” She repeats firmly, more satisfied with her mama’s response.

“Can you try D?” Lexi wonders.

“Dadeeeeee.” Lexi laughs, kissing Lucie’s newly formed part in her hair.

“Soon, he will be here.”

“I am here.” Nico murmurs gently. Both his girls turn to look at him. He wants time to stand still, soaking up this moment of how excited they both are to see him standing there.

“Dadeeee!!!!” Lucie stands, beginning to stomp her little feet across the comforter. Her toes are painted a light pink that accents her chubby appendages. He wants to eat them up to hear her squeal in protest. He steps forward, grabbing her around the ribs and scooping her up.

“Did you hear her ABCs? She got stuck on D.” Lexi asks, tossing the hair brush onto the nightstand.

“Again?” He chuckles.

“Yeah, all she can focus on is da-deeeee.” Lexi jokes, a smirk wrinkles her nose. He goes to the end of the bed, leaning down to kiss his wife’s lips. “Oh yeah, I need one more of those.” She murmurs, getting to her knees and pulling him back to her by his neck. Their lips connect, then their tongues, as Lucie rests her head against Nico’s shoulder.

“Go put our daughter to bed, so I can have you in ours.” Lexi demands when they finally pull away to breathe. He chases her lips for one last kiss, then turns to do as he’s told. 

[digiblueslush]

Feeling very intensely over project sekai right now (I’ve pulled almost 150 times for this damn rui card and I have no more energy to keep farming, and also I didn’t realize that the close game offline bachata was coming back so aaaaaa) so here are some random opinions I have and note that I am not a consistent story reader, I’ve read some of them but not every one

1 - out of the units, VBS has the best music. Period. I’d say 90% of their commissions AND covers are spectacular, there’s really only one or 2 covers I can say I’m not fond of, and some of the songs that I think are just ok are still really good, they’re just not my kind of style

2 - honami is not underrated. I will not tolerate “honami is underrated” this “honami is underrated” that. if everyone in the entire universe thinks says that, she’s not. Now, I really have only read 1 or 2 l/n stories, and if people didn’t say she was the best character ever all the time I’d probably like her more, but she is just kinda meh to me

3 - if we want to talk underrated though, HARUKA. Yes I am biased, but still. How often do you see people getting excited about her in the way they do over literally any other character? She’s easily in the top 5 vocals in the game (honestly I’d put her at one but I’ll go more into why that’s not the case in the next blurb). Personality wise (I haven’t kept up with stories in a while so bear with me and my projecting) she’s feels so genuine and mature, and she’s just got this calming presence to her that I really like. Yet I see NOBODY ever talk about her. Have y’all heard her chikyuu saigo cover?? Or really most of the alts she has? She’s amazing and I love her

4 - I have beef with whoever picks/arranges lines for the vocalists if that makes sense? It really didn’t click with me until I heard a part of the l/n Tokyo teddy bear cover. There was a line (and I don’t remember it off of the top of my head so sorry but anyways) that would’ve been AMAZING with shiho’s stronger, deeper vocals. And they gave it to either saki or honami, and it made this really powerful sound something weak and flimsy. And I’ve noticed this a lot in other songs more broadly too. Honami and saki aren’t bad vocalists at all, but the lines they are given don’t fit their voices, and this happens with a majority of the characters. I’d love to give haruka best vocals, because some of her covers are just so beautiful, but some of the songs she’s in really don’t highlight her type of vocals. Top of my head I’m thinking her near cover, where once again it just sounds weak and unenthusiastic. I know not every song can perfectly fit with every vocalist every time, but this genuinely happens so much and it irritates me a lot (and don’t get me started on the vs tuning 75% of the time yeesh) with this specific issue, I think every group does have it to some extent, but n25 is better at giving the right lines to the right vocalist, followed by vbs. And I’d honestly expect n25 to be able to make weird lines assignments work a majority of the time. They all have pretty versatile voices and in my opinion they have the most professional sound out of the 5 groups. With that said, in the context of the game, I’d have to say mizuki’s vocals are number one for me. The way they are able to almost shapeshift their voice is incredible, and I can’t recall a song where I think they sounded out of place. Haruka is still number 2, but it’s a bummer that so many times the vocals sound off because the va’s are given something that simply aren’t in their range, or their voice doesn’t just doesn’t give off the vibe requested from the song.

5 - Leo/need. Where do I even begin. Like I said I haven’t read much of their story nor do I remember it, but I’ve got beef. Please don’t attack me for this, but I really don’t like ichika. I’m sorry it had to be said but most of the time I just can’t stand her. I get that Leo/need is a band type group and she is the vocalist, but this mechanic doesn’t make sense a in a game where every other group everyone gets vocals in songs and b THE DRUMMER AND KEYBOARDISTS SING?? Like if saki was giving harmonies, that’s fine, and I totally get shiho having more vocal lines then saki and honami cuz stage wise she’d still be more up front and it’s not uncommon for guitar/bass players to add to vocals, but it makes no sense for a drummer to have vocal lines. Like in the slightest. Like that’s not how sound works at live shows?? Or lungs?? And with that in mind, I do think it’s actually insane how Leo/need is just Mike and ichika 90% of the time. And ichika in general just annoys me for some reason. Nothing in specific but she urkes me. Last Leo/need opinion for the moment, but going back to the honami is underrated thing, SHIHO. YALL THE DISRESPECT. I honestly don’t care too much for l/n but shiho is the best thing about l/n. I know her 1 cover is decently talked about, but I am OBSESSED with her from Tokyo cover. She somehow can sound edgy but also soft and light at the same time, and honestly I just think she’s really cool in general, and I wish she got more vocals in songs :(

I have more but I’m exhausted. I’ll probably add on to this at some point

i just watched the first episode of act 3 of arcane season 2 (episode 7)! i cried and vocalized the whole time!!! spoilers under the cut

i'm so fucking terrified for what happens to viktor. i'm going insane. god. what a good episode. this is one of the greatest shows i've ever seen!! i feel like my soul is exploding. it was so cool to see silco again, and his line about 'the greatest thing someone can do is forgiveness' or something like that was so good! and my god, it was so CATHARTIC to hear ekko say that he had given up on jinx/powder! that was literally my only issue with him in my eyes. his only character flaw! i'm happy he had that character development. and the ekko/jinx shipppers really won in this episode hehehe~. man. and the arcane aliens are so cool! i love how spooky they are, they really inspire me. and it was cool to see jayce create a leg brace for himself that was just like viktor's. just.... please..... i need viktor to be okay. i think it would be so cool if... somehow... ekko was able to bring them to a reality where they all survived. i thought that coming out of act 2 and now seeing it in action, and the way episode 7 has built up to what jayce does at the end of act 2, i really hope that's the story's direction. but i have no clue! i mean, we know in canon (the lore, league of legends the game) in some way shape or form viktor is living and alive as the machine herald so i really couldn't see him being *dead*. but damn! i'm excited (and scared!!) to see how it goes! okay. onto episode 8. wish me luck. update: i SCREAMED!!!

AS. PARTNERS!!!!!!!!!!!

toxic jayvik shippers really won with this one ehehehe~

when i saw this i audibly said 'no fucking way.' because i thought he was in the bloated creature! yay!! so this is Arcane's version of machine herald viktor. he's so pretty!!

THIS HAD ME SOBBING!!! YALL WERE RIGHT! (i had heard a theory after watching arcane S2 act 2 that viktor was the cloak guy). talk about catharsis!! my favourite character done justice! ;o; ToT i can't express how much it means to me. when i thought he was the bloated guy i thought to myself 'he's been doomed by the writers, abandoned by the writers.' i'm so glad it wasn't true! "in all timelines... in all possiblities" and the flashbacks to them happy as partners (and as jayce as a child) I AM SOBBING MOOOORE

MY BOY!!! MY BOY!!!! HE'S GOING THROUGH SO MANY EMOTIONS IN THIS SCENE! I AM SOBBING!

"you must go, Jayce" he says. and then jayce puts his hand on his shoulder! my beautiful boy ;o; oh my baby ;o; he looked so close to tears, all those breaths he was taking with his chest. so overwhelmed, so much running through his mind.

HE GIVES HIS WRIST GEMSTONE TO HIM. ToT AAAAAA TO START THE CYCLE AGAIN! :O "we finish this together" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! head touch! (;o;) oh i love it...... (;o;) (;_;) <3 update: i've finished watching! wow... what a series! ;o; i didn't like that vi referred to herself as dirt though ^^; and i bet jinx and vander are in one of those vents cait was looking at the diagram of for the hexgates. and i wonder where viktor and jayce went in that flash that turned into a rune!! obviously we know viktor became the guy in the cloak, but what about jayce? i hope we get to see both of them in the next series.

ahsoka 1x07 liveblog / post mortem

i’m sorry but hera needs to beat this senator’s ass

LEIA SENDING C-3PO 🥹

chopper having some shit to say in court…. i love him

the anakin hologram! he made ahsoka multiple holograms!!! i’m cryinnn

i’m enjoying seeing more of ahsoka’s humor (and snippiness if you will)

ZEB MENTION

(i honestly believe the reason zeb hasn’t shown up is because it’s too expensive to animate him lmao)

i’m so afraid of what will happen when ezra finds out how sabine really got here.

eman esfandi is a PERFECT ezra. the body language, mannerisms, voice, the signature charm/humor — everything!

loved seeing ezra gently encouraging sabine to explain the “feeling” she felt. force sensitivity 101!

what is baylan’s play here? sending his own apprentice off on her own? what is his own “path”?

did ezra teach the noti how to use slingshots, like his own energy slingshot from rebels? awwww

oh ezra and sabine look SO fucking cool standing next to each other, preparing for battle. (i see the battle couple vision. i see it.)

ahsoka yeeting herself out of a speeding aircraft is insane actually. i know she did something similar before (the siege of mandalore comes to mind) but damn, she really is anakin’s padawan, huh. the drama!

ezra’s force-assisted martial arts is VERY cool. his confidence in his abilities? him refusing to use his old lightsaber, and telling sabine it’s hers now because he gave it to her? chef’s kiss

ezra force-pulling sabine as she lights up her flamethrower!! AAAAAA!!!!!!

ahsoka pulling up to the fight like that was so fucking funny

CLASSIC SABINE EXPLOSIVES!!!!!! let my girl blow up more stuff!!!

oh that ahsoka and ezra reunion was so lovely. years ago, in the world between worlds he told her to come find him…. she promised she would, and she did!!

ezra saying “i might be going home after all” … bro i’m fucking scared WHAT IF HE DOESNT!!!!!!! DAVE FELONY YOU CANT DO THIS

i suppose it’s in ahsoka’s nature to forgive what sabine did — after all, she acknowledged it was the only choice that made sense for her at the time. but as much as i hate to say it, at some point sabine needs to face the consequences.

i can’t believe there’s only one episode left!!! lots of loose ends to wrap up. i am cautiously excited but also afraid because i have the sinking feeling not everyone’s making it back to the galaxy we’re familiar with. 🥲

[saturn-sends-hugs]

Ok had a long car ride so guess what EP11 THOUGHTS LETS GOOOO:

(plus a good amount of ep12 predictions cause uh i am very excited bkshsjjkssk)

Couple little things first, starting with WHY DID I HAVE TO SEE NALA SE AGAIN. I mean I knew logically we would see her again but that doesn’t mean I was ready for it >:( i do not forgive u for fives u cruel cruel long lady

Then the batch telling Cid off!!! Slay!! Absolutely slay get it that is so important, especially that Omega was directly calling her out for leaving them stranded. I’m really interested to see where that storyline goes and if they either end up leaving Cid (and probably adding to Omegas trust issues in the process cause WOW everyone is letting her down these days (echo i love u but ur girl is not ok)), or if they stay with her and she gets some sort of redemption arc? Idk, can’t decide which seems more likely, but all I can say is I hope next episode has absolutely nothing to do with it. Like it’s an interesting storyline but… yeahh…

And oh god, the boys walking around the ship, why was Wrecker the only one being smart??? Like Tech just ran off on his own, knowing full well the creature was most likely still on the ship, Hunter had his just mwah chefs kiss line of “Whatever did this wasn’t human,” like… HMMM HUNTER I HADNT NOTICED (“And where there’s a farm, there’s usually a farmer!”) But Wrecker was actually paying attention!! He picked up the volt-staff (which like yeah he was gonna anyways but it was still smart) and he made note of the walls being reinforced meaning whatever they were holding must be something strong. And later in the episode he sees the Empire snag the zillo beast and he takes note of how “They’re not killing it. They’re taking it.” Like I love those little moments where Wrecker just passively shows off how smart he is?? He plays the big goofy guy since it’s just kinda his personality, but he still knows his stuff. Hell, he made a rocket launcher out of parts from a separatist tank in less than a minute while under fire from the enemy?? And it worked perfectly? And repeatedly??? Anyway Wrecker spiel over but the man is a genius and I love him.

Tech and Omega’s moments in this episode, oh i lOVE THEM. Him messing up and scaring her then kinda not knowing how to fix it, Omega unplugging his datapad to make him get going, Tech immediately covering her while they ran from explosion omG I LOVE THEM. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH they are so wonderful and sweet and perfect and Filoni I swEAR YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH THEM (I feel like they’re safe for the most part but still, I do not trust. (like of all of them I think Hunter, Omega and Wrecker are the safest? They kinda can’t be taken out; you need the leader, you can’t lose the kid, and Wrecker is pretty much the majority of the comic relief. And Tech is safe-ish too cause he’s just such a character type that I feel like you can’t get rid of him. But uh… Echo and Cross are not safe. They are very much so in danger, maybe Echo most of all and oh god I am scared for him. And also Cody if he ever comes back. …where is cody..?))

OK and now for bigger things like oMG ECHO AND REX HOLY SHIBSJSBSJBSKZNZKDNOEBEKSNSKLSMSNSJXLDNSKNSKS YES YES ABSOLUTELY CALL ECHO AND REX I NEED TO SEE THEMMMMMM!!! The way Hunter did his little main character moment slow zoom when he said that? There’s absolutely no way that’s not important to this weeks episode or at least the one after that so AAAAAA I AM SO EXCITEDDDDD. The batch has needed Echo so much in every single episode since he left; Tech going off on his own in this one felt so wrong because Echo should’ve been right there with himmm!! (i mean he should 100% be with rex but like you get what i mean)

And at the end when Lama Su mentions kidnapping Omega again? That feels equally important. Not only is the Empire going to have to admit that Clone Force 99 isn’t dead, but they’re going to have to start hunting them down again to get Omega. And to me, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Crosshair being ordered to hunt Omega down in particular, since he knows the batch so well and would know best how to snatch Omega from them. (Also like story-wise… who else would it be? …Boba?) Now would that be so incredibly painful and awful to see? Yes, yes it would. Am I still incredibly excited to see it? ALSO YES.

And with both of these things, the Echo and Rex mention and a target on Omega, as well as the fact that this next episode is (i’m pretty sure?) confirmed to have Crosshair in it, I’m really really hoping the episode follows either of them (Cross or Rex and Echo) and their paths end up crossing?? Like maybe Crosshair gets his orders to hunt down Omega, and in trying to track the batch he ends up finding a lead on just Echo? Or maybe it follows Rex and Echo looking into the zillo beast and in trying to find out more they run into Crosshair? And maybe they find out abt Cody??? And anD AND OOO maybe Echo has a moment where he finally decides, fuck it, I can’t leave my brother with the empire any longer and he like tries to reason with Cross? Idk but either way I am REALLY hoping they cross paths somehow plEASE ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE IVE SEEN EITHER OF THEMMM 😭😭😭

like it is in fact womens history month and also my birthday on thursday so mr filoni is actually legally obligated to not emotionally destroy me thank you very much :D

[andvys]

“Morning, Dad.”

oh no not his dad....

“Am I supposed to congratulate you? You’re still wasting your time, you work a shitty job instead of going to college– you know, I offered you a job at the company–”

oh he's that type of a parent 😐

He swore to himself that he would never end up like his dad.

well well well how the tables have turned...

He never needed the excitement, he lied when he said that to you.

oh?? is that so bitch boy

Steve’s bottom lip begins to tremble and he punches his fist into the wall as he starts to cry. You didn’t even spare him of the details. You wanted to hurt him.

karma is my boyfriend fr 😌

Robin and Steve glance at each other, both of them are feeling worse and worse.

... good 🤭 as they should

“You are both such assholes! All this time, I thought she was the horrible one but it was you two!”

OMG IS NANCY OUR FRIEND NOW?? come here pretty girl gimme a kiss nance ❤️‍🩹

“I’m sorry but you don’t deserve her, Steve. I can’t even imagine the pain she was in all this time. You should be happy that she has Eddie now.”

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DESERVES Y/N??? 🫶🫶

“I think I loved you back then.”

AAAAAAAA???, screaming shouting ripping the hair out of my head

“I’m in love with you too,” he whispers as he places his hands on your waist and pushes you down on the bed, “I want to be your boyfriend and I want you to be my girlfriend,” he murmurs against your neck as he kisses you there.

BOOO stop being so cute not everyone wants to see it 🙄 (i am lonely)

“I wanna be your girl, make me yours, Eddie. I wanna be yours. I want you forever.”

AAAAAA THIS IS TJE CUTEST SHUT UPPPP

For the first time, Eddie makes love to you that night.

my heart exploded 🥹🥹 they are goals truly

“Shh, I got you, baby,” he whispers, his lips brushing against yours. He reaches for your other hand, intertwining your fingers, he now holds both of your hands tightly “I’m here, just breathe.”

JUST BREATHE??? why is this sexy while also super cute 😭😭

“I do.”

AAANAJEVEIWBDIEBSIWBSISBS this was so emotional and beautiful are you kidding me?? 💔💔

this was very very sweet it was like eating a cotton candy and i loved every second of it 🥹 waiting for more!! <3

I'm sooooo happy you liked the new chapter & I hope it could cheer you up a little 🥺

Can you tell where Steve has got his asshole behavior from? 😩

Nancy was meant to be a villain in this one but she turned into a hero lmfao

YOUR HEART EXPLODED? I'm happy that I can get such reactions from you 😌

I hope you enjoyed the fluff 🥺 next one is definitely gonna be an angsty one (just Steve angst tho)

[whentherewerebicycles]

blah blah journaling behind the cut

OKAY WHY DO I FEEL SO UNSETTLED i will gently disentangle the feelings.

the interview is just a screening interview and i might not make it to the next round! this isn’t even a JOB yet just the far-off possibility of maybe a job someday! but the REALITY of the screening interview on my calendar is making it feel more real that i COULD leave my current job and that is making me feel a bit panicky! to be clear i very, very, very much want to leave my current job but i feel like i’ve weathered so many major life transitions in the past 8-10 months and it’s kind of freaking me out to imagine weathering another one, even if it is a much-desired life transition that i think/hope would ultimately make me feel much more like myself. the prospect of change can be scary even if it’s a good change. this is not a feeling i can resolve it is just a feeling i will need to hold loosely & breathe through as i move forward.

i am nervous about the interview itself, mostly because i have spent the past six or seven months feeling pretty disconnected from my old self and pretty emotionally adrift in an existential crisis about my current job, and i am worried i will not be able to quickly & easily access my old thoughts/feelings about the work i used to do. but i have seven days to do some sustained thinking, journaling, and talking with friends/students to reconnect with that not-SO-distant version of myself. plus the coordinator confirmed they’ll be sending me the screening questions the day before, so i’ll have time to thoughtfully prep and practice.

liz is leaving today and we won’t see each other again in person until late april which feels so far away :(((((( i never want to waste the last day being in a funk about parting but i am in a funk about parting. but it will be ok. we got to see each other like every two weeks for the last three visits and we will both be traveling a lot in the meantime so the time will go faster than i think!!

i am traveling for a family trip this weekend and the logistics are slightly complicated (seattle to phoenix to palm springs to san diego to seattle) and that always makes me feel a little unsettled even if i know the trip itself will be fun. plus i have to do a bunch of errands before i leave AND pack for a different climate and i’m nervous about not having clothes that will work out. but it’s fine it will be fine.

WHAT CAN I DO TO QUIET MY WORRIES 

i can book airport parking (one lightly stressful logistics thing out of the way) and make a detailed to-do list and packing list so i have less free-floating anxiety about the trip itself. i can also map out the different legs of the trip and figure out when i’ll have time to work on interview prep, which i think will help me feel less stressed about preparing.

i already created a doc and spent a few hours researching the program i’m applying to, jotting down notes for examples/ideas from my previous job i can talk about in the interview, and making a list of things i want to be ready to discuss. i think i feel a little scattered in the way i’m prepping now, but if i carve out a solid block of time tomorrow to make a detailed prep plan i can just work my way through it steadily instead of feeling like there are a million scattered things floating around in my head. this will also make me feel more excited about the job which will help ease me through the scary AAAAAA MORE LIFE TRANSITIONS???? feelings.

liz and i are going to book our next visit now so we have something to look forward to! also i think we will go on a walk and that will help ease the pre-period hormonal jitters.

tonight i will have time to sit down and calmly think through all aspects of the next week (logistics, interview prep, work schedule, etc.). having a solid plan will make me feel less all over the place. and tonight i will also have time to do some good quality lying around and self-soothing activities (reading a favorite classic fic etc) which i think will help restore my feelings of equilibrium

Levi X Y/N

Genre: Romance/Fluff/Angst

Sharing Your Exhaustion

The hallways were eerily quiet, presumably because the members were drained off after hectic training; they couldn’t help jump into their dreams before they had to head back for more painful training. You took nimble steps towards the captain’s room and rushed to open the door, knots forming in your stomach in bustling excitement. Yesterday, Levi was so busy with paperwork, you had chose not to visit him, not wanting to disturb him. There were days when you had to ignore your feelings because you were in a relationship with none other than Captain Levi, the strongest solider who shouldered the burden of humanity’s right to existence.

As you stepped in, you realised the room was lighted up, which was foreign because by this time, Levi would be waiting for you in bed with lights off. Your gaze sauntered from the empty bed to the wooden desk next to the window and caught sight of your raven haired boyfriend, seated before his desk with a pencil in his grip as he sharply wrote something down. You frowned, staring at the clock for reconfirmation.

It was one am. By this time, Levi would have tidied up his messy desk, taken a shower and waited for you to come over-sometimes even making personal trips to your room to get you.

You lightly shut the door behind you, taking light steps towards your hardworking boyfriend. Despite making zero to no sound, you caught his attention immediately as if he sensed you around; his bleak eyes seemed to warm up like the moonlight, his thin lips morphing into a tiring smile.

“How was training?” His gentle voice already calmed your nerves. “Tiring,” you muttered with a generous smile and made your way to his chair.

“Tch, don’t work so hard, brat,” he gruffly muttered, his voice etched with concern.

Nearing him, you noticed the blue lines of fatigue on his pale skin carved under his eyes, his forehead creased from tension, posture seemingly uncomfortable with his back positioned away from the chair, probably from leaning down to observe papers. An awful feeling arose in the pit of your stomach. Your judgment stood corrected as you observed the stack of parchments bundled on the side of his table. Just looking at it gave you a headache.

You instinctively stepped closer behind his chair and snaked your arms around his neck tightly, recompensing for the time away from him. The smell of him on the shirt you were wearing was nothing compared to his actual embrace. The shower you had taken before had helped your nerves ease after practise but Levi’s embrace completely sucked every last drop of ache out of your body.

A breathy sigh escaped his mouth as he eased into your hold, his breathing calm against your frame. For a moment, it was only you and Levi in your own bubble; nothing else existed. Two aching souls finding peace in one another. And then a moment later, the bubble bursted.

“Y/n, turn the lights off and get some sleep. I’ll need to stay working,” he put his hand over yours which were resting on his chest and nudged his head against yours, encouraging you to go to bed.

You frowned, your chest tightening.

Ever since the commander’s announcement for a new mission outside the walls, the workload was piquing- especially for the captains. The pile of documents needing Levi’s attention were still toppling his desk and he hadn’t even moved an inch from the worktable since before yesterday night. You didn’t see him at practise, lunch, dinner or even in the meeting with Hange. He seemed to have disconnected entirely from human interaction, determined to get his work done.

“Levi, you’ve been here since the whole day,” you muttered, expressing your discern with a frown. Your arms only grew tighter around him worriedly.

He shook his head, giving your hand a tight squeeze. “It’ll take me one more night and I’ll be done.” You peeled yourself away from him and stared at the man with desperation. You had come to a realisation that Levi coped in different ways in tense times. When the atmosphere became grim, he spent days drowning himself with papers and refused to take breaks- as if he was punishing himself. Even when he came back from expeditions, you wouldn’t see his face until a week after. He stared at words for so long that they probably haunted him.

“Levi, you’re overworking yourself to the bone. You need sleep,” you argued, scowling at the lack of concern in his narrow eyes.

“I’m perfectly fine, don’t worry. Now, go and get some sleep. You must be exhausted,” his words were stern, commanding you and his gaze indifferent, holding no room for debate. His eyes remained cold but you could tell he felt apologetic as he softly caressed your cheek with his palm, stroking them. He limply smiled, then nodded at you and motioned towards the bed, implying you leave him alone.

You stared at him distraught. How could Levi expect you to turn away and conveniently slip into bed while his red-rimmed eyes were starving for rest as he pushed himself more and more? Again an unsettling feeling arose in your chest; even his fingers were inflamed from gripping the pencil for too long; he rubbed the back of his neck occasionally which meant he had been craning it for too long to read the goddamn papers.

Your fists clenched in despair as you bit back the curses you wanting to ensue; dating a workaholic man with zero awareness was a pain in the ass. You sighed sympathetically at the man you loved and then stepped closer to the desk, in front of him. You grabbed one large pile of his documents and brought them with you to the bed.

“Hey-hey! What’re you doing?” He immediately sprung out of his chair, and it made you want to cackle because it was probably the first time his leg muscles contracted since he sat down with these documents on that damned chair.

“I’ll help,” you explained as you sat cross legged on the cold sheets of his bed, picking up the first stapled document.

“No,” he rasped. “You are doing no such thing. Get to bed, right now,” it wasn’t a suggestion but a chilling command; Levi’s tone was dangerously low, making your stomach knot up with nervousness.

You glanced up and regretted it immediately because it magnified your anxiety: his misty eyes were staring down at you scornfully, burning your skin; his chest heaved impatiently and his fists were clenched like he would pounce at you any second.

“Levi—“

“Every-fucking-one is beaten after today’s practise, I know that. Just because I wasn’t there, it doesn’t mean I don’t know shit. Hange informed me about your pathetically long training,” Levi’s voice was oddly rough but the coldness in his eyes melted. His face was scrunched in distress.

You loved this man so much with every part of you. How could he be worrying over you when he was literally starving and sleepless from the work pressure? Your nose burned, and you felt your eyes welling up, with overwhelming emotions, but you didn’t let him see that or he’d lose his sanity and flip the world over to know exactly the reason behind your tears.

You stepped out of the bed and walked close to him, edging to him until his nose was brushing yours conveniently since you both were the same height. At close proximity, his almond shaped eyes were tired-red and sully but there was also a strange glint of warmth in the dull grey clouds, reflecting the effect you have on him. His breathing was unsteady as he stared directly at you.

“If you’re too exhausted, we can share the exhaustion just like we share love, Levi,” you whispered, your lips meeting the corner of his mouth and landing it with a kiss. Jitters ran down his spine and his mouth tingled.

We can share exhaustion just like we share love. The words reverberated again and again in his head, tugging at the strings of his heart. At that moment, he wished to throw you into his bed and kiss your exhaustion away. He forcefully stepped back, his insides twisting in misery, desperate to have his way with you. You were always so understanding. Levi could never wrap his head around how you were so transparent and loving. You stood by him in miserable times, struggling to heal his endless wounds. Your selflessness ate at him because in this big, relentless world, he only wanted you to be selfish.

“I’ll arrange these documents, so you’ll know which ones merely require signatures and which need proper attention. It’ll decrease your workload and reading time to a great extent.” You were already on the bed, reading through the document with vitality.

He surveyed you for a moment, his heart drumming faster against his chest. “Come on, get going. We have a lot to do.” Levi timorously stepped back, watching you.

You already got to work and started assessing papers and reading through files. You almost threw in the towel by your fifth document but continued working, determined to help him. You mentally praised Levi’s great work ethics, his neat textura script making you smile.

Levi, on the other hand, stood frozen in his tracks; his chest felt strange as he watched you work on his documents. No one had ever done this-not that he ever wanted it. Hell, he was the strongest, most independent man, who never let his guard down which is primarily the reason why people didn’t bother with him. He alone equated to the strength of a thousand army of titans. He created this headstrong image for the world, Levi Ackerman, the hope of humanity, as he filled in gaps of weaknesses left in his trails.

Why did you see him? You knew he could take it, then why didn’t you let him be, like everyone else? Why did you want to shoulder his burdens by sacrificing your peace?

His head began pounding.

Before he saw you today, he was perfectly fine with his negligent ways: he didn’t feel his stomach rumbling from emptiness, his mouth as dry as the desert, his back aching from distress or his eyes stinging from sleeplessness. Now, when he saw you rubbing your red eyes, squinting them to read the documents and massaging your template in soft circles, he recovered his sanity.

As if he regained his humanity, his body which was numb from the moment he sat with those papers, collapsed into a surge of emotions.

He couldn’t bear it.

He treated himself inhumanely. But not you. God no, never you. You didn’t deserve it. He couldn’t treat you the way he treated himself. He’d rather throw himself off a cliff than give you a taste of his pain. Feeling overwhelmed, his vision blurred as he took heavy steps towards you. You looked up from the paper, hearing him moving towards you and your breath ceased.

Silver eyes were shadowy with a thunderous wave of agony, and a deploring frown weighted down his lips as his steps faltered towards you. You immediately stood up, your hackles rising in concern. You had never seen Levi look so defeated and beaten— not even when he came back from outside the walls. Your stomach twisted in despair. Maybe you had hurt him in your attempts to stick beside him. You felt tears choking your vision as you waited for him to throw you out of his room.

He was an inch away when his body fell against you, a squeal leaving your mouth. His arms were clasping around your waist as he pushed his weight down, causing your knees to buckle against the bed and you both fell. He was on top of you, his body completely attached to you like he were a part of you. Your heartbeat escalated as Levi looked at you, his red eyes drunk with exhaustion staring into the depth of your orbs.

Inside your dark eyes, he only saw himself. Only himself. His breathing hardened, mouth watering at the sight. He couldn’t take it anymore, his love for you triumphing over the last shred of common sense left in his brain. Drained and disillusioned, he found solace within you.

He attacked your mouth like a starved beast, every ounce of his being wanting you to feel the love bustling in his veins. Your toes curled in pleasure, the warmth of his mouth creating an euphoric sense of stability in your soul. You gripped his hair softly, running your fingers through his scalp and his eyes screwed shut in comfort. His lips kissed to your jawline and in the crevice of your neck, trailing downwards, marking your skin as his.

Your moans and his heavy breaths filled up the silence in the room.

“I love you,” he whispered and you swear you felt a wet droplet fall against your skin. Your stomach clenched; It was his first time telling you he loved you. You tried saying it back but no words left your mouth, just a stream of sobs.

Before, you felt him love you through his own unintentional ways but nothing could counter these three words falling off his lips just for you.

And then he rustled against the sheets, laying beside you and pulled you on top of him, your head resting against his chest. His heartbeat vibrating against your frame caused your tense body to ease in his hold. The documents sat on the edge of the bed, neglected. Soon slumber overpowered both Levi and your senses. Even though you both had to wake up within the next-six-hours, It was the best damn sleep Levi had ever gotten.

firstly, congrats on the milestone my love AAAAAA you deserve it so much <3 i'm sO PROUD OF YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AAAAAAA 😭♥️ secondly, for the event !! how about i <3 u with heeseung? hehe THANK YOU TWINNIE ILYSM 🥺🫶🏻

my twinnie <3 literally, i love you so much :( probs one of my first friends here so i am so grateful you actually stuck around!

heeseung must confess, he was not always aware of how magnificent his best friend was. yet he never needed the epiphany.

it was not like one day he did not know, and the next moment he knew.

he started to appreciate you like he would appreciate the paintings of the sky that change its palettes day after day.

some days you look up and notice how serene the sky is, and some days you forget to take that moment to look up and admire the sky.

it was always there at the back of his mind, but he was far too busy being the man he needed to be to admire you properly.

in some ways, you were also like the sun to him.

whenever you were gone for some time, his days would darken and the sky would always look grey and gloomy, and whenever you returned, even the stormy days felt like clear skies and sunshine.

and heeseung wanted to make that obvious to you. thus he started to lock himself in his room, only coming out to walk passed you for the fridge. you wanted to question it, but your trust in heeseung was greater than anything else.

one day, your curiosity got the best of you and you found yourself in front of heeseung's room, hands wavering above the doorknob.

heeseung's giggles are heard from behind you and you turn around in surprise. but the guy was quick enough. hand on the handle while the other held your hip, making sure you don't fall backward while he pushed you into the room.

"what are you doing?" you asked, flustered by the bright smile he had on his face while he guided you through his room.

"showing you what i've been working on." he replied, eyes shining in excitement. the two of you come to a stop and heeseung slowly turn you around.

you search behind you for his hand, your eyes glued to the canvas in front of you.

the warmth of his hand find yours, and you squeeze gently while taking in everything in your vision.

a painting, of the course of the day, from dusk in the left corner to dawn in the right. the transitioning was beautiful, but what touched you the most was the centerpiece. a moonchild holding a small sun in his hands, hugging it close to his chest.

i treasure you, and i love you.

So I did it... I signed up for a weekly french class for the next two months *gulp* what am I in for?

OH WOOW !!!! That's amaziiiing Poni!!! Aaaaaa!!! I always get so excited when people want to learn French hehe~ I'll be here anytime if you need help with anything!! I'm positive you're gonna have lots of fun!!

Hmm well I'm not sure what they're gonna teach you, I've never witnessed a lesson abroad but if it's anything like here then there's probably gonna be some history and culture lessons on the menu, some grammar as well and practicing the accent and how to speak! I'm pretty positive it's not gonna be too different from what you already know of language teaching~ they might even teach you some"Verlan" haha (it's a popular french slang sub-language in which words are in reverse)

I think a lot of people think of French as this difficult language to learn and while yes the pronunciation is extremely different from English, the rest isn't so hard. The bases of tons words are similar and we even share many with you guys! (ex: wagons, orange, photo, message, etc...). Tho yes to be completely truthful, French is more difficult than English but if you're interested and up for the challenge, I'm convinced you won't regret it~ Once you get a grip in the basics, everything else gets easier (ღ˘⌣˘ღ).

French is a very diverse and colorful language and since it's part of the Romance Language Family (in opposition to the Germanic Languages) it'll facilitate your understanding of all the other ones in it! They include Spanish, Latin, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan and Romanian.

So yeah, there's tons of advantages, opportunities and fun to have~ and I'd be more than happy to help you ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ I hope you're gonna have a lot of fun!!

part 2 || part 3

You were in your human form when Xiao first saw you, and to take it lightly, you were stared at. A lot.

You weren’t used to your legs.. so you just walked all wobbly and weird, every step you took could have ended with you falling face first into the road.

Xiao didn’t want to do anything with you. But you just so happened to get into the Washu Inn.

Verr Goldet asked Xiao to look over you, because obviously, she was worried for you..

Xiao recutanly did so.

“Hey. You. What are you doing?”

He isn’t the nicest. But, he was also wary of you. You look completely different from anybody here. And you might even turn out to be apart of the Fatui.. after all they came here not long after you. He could not allow somebody to wreak havoc any longer.

“Oh.. uhh.. walking? Or at least.. trying too.. first time in a while..” you answered sheepishly.

Odd. He continued the enquiries. “And what business do you have?”

“Um… nothing much.. I’m looking for my sisters.. and something else..” You tried to peer away from he’s pernicious gaze.

Xiao then started to become more blunt. “Are you with the Fatui?”

“Uh- no?? Who’s that??” You were getting even more fretful, and annoyed.

It went silent for a while and before you could speak up, he did. “Great. Then I’m done here.” And just like that the gaze was gone and so would he.

Xiao turned to leave until he heard your voice again.

“Hey wait!!” You tugged at his long sleeve, quickly getting a glare yet again. You felt a shiver down your spine, but you tried to fix your posture. “Now you answer me. Who are you and why are you questioning me?”

He continued to glare at you once more, “Xiao. And I’m just here to check up on you-“

“Meaning small?”

“What.”

“Your name. Xi-“

“Don’t. Say it.”

“I was just gonna say your name! Not your height or anything!”

“I didn’t say you were gonna mention my HEIGHT.” He pulled away he’s sleeve.

“Well.. sorry.. but your it is indeed quite iron-“

“Tch. Shut up you Mortal.”

“... Mortal!?!?”

“Yes. You mortals are getting even more and more nee-“

You snapped. How can this guy just come up and dare to try and insult you! And even ASSUME. “H-How dare you!! I am NOT a mere mortal!! I’m one of the most powerful hydromancy mages in history!! My sisters are uhh… ohh..” You quieted down

“...”

“... uhh..”

“Who are you exactly?” He was piercing dangers at you.

“I am.. a mermaid adepti.. Y/N, and my sisters are Sonnet, and Canon. And those are the only adepti I know,, but I’m guessing you're one as well?”

“... Yes.”

You were immediately intrigued, you never met another adepti besides your family! You kept on pestering and pestering him, no matter how scary he may seem, you were just so very excited..

In the end, Xiao ended up helping you, because he’s one of the only ones who knows he's way all around Liyue, and you desperately need the help.

They couldn’t find your sisters, but you found clues that they may be in Inazuma or Fontaine.

Despite how bratty, arrogant, and stubborn you can be.. you're actually fairly nice, thoughtful, and expetenatiolly loyal. He liked that in you. And even.. more than liking you as a friend.

He fell in love with you

At first he denied it, he doubted you were merely a dream. A hallucination. But all the times when the sun went down, and half-awake you sang to him that oceanic melody. Or how you blubbered at him to be more attentive and nice to others because saying that idiotic reason that ‘they are your people too’. Or when your bombastic plans kept getting them in trouble which made the nations eyes glance at them. It was not a dream. But a wish came true.

You made he’s heartbeat, a rhythm that he had never felt before.

Like a rock stopping down a lake.. and then falling deeper, and deeper, in to the water that was his heart.

And for a few minutes, the karmic bind became loose threads dancing with the wind.

You were crossing over to Sumeru on a boat, after a few people told you guys how the oldest sister was staying there to do some business.

“Hey so.. Xiao..” You were in where your mermaid form.. swimming next to a boat that Xiao was occupied in.

“Yes?” He looked over at you, with a much different tone he’s eyes put on when you first met him.

“I feel like I’m being pretty dishonest to you..”

He’s heart stopped. Oh no. Would you be gone? Did you betray him? What’s going on. “What is it.” The tone of his eyes changed again.

“I haven’t actually told you the truth..” Ashamed, you turned your head and tried to face him. “I didn’t tell you why I’m looking for them…”

He looked over at you, confused. “What? What do you mean?”

“Well.. to be honest I’m not so sure, but, this necklace is a curse.” You touched that suffocating thing. “I can’t take it off, and I need my sisters to. Because well, if I or somebody falls in love with me, or just.. KISSES me, either them, or me, are forever doomed for damnation. And I..” Tears streamed through your face, tears of anguish. “I love you Xiao!! So PLEASE, if this doesn’t work then you’ll have to leave.. far.. far, away..”

He’s eyes widened. What. “You're cursed. WHY!?”

“Wish I can tell you.” You sighed. “If I tell you, you’ll get in trouble. And even than I don’t exactly know half of it.. and I just.. I want you to be safe.”

“Even if your stuck with a curse, I’m still gonna be by your side.”

You blinked. “What!? No!! That’s st-“

“Well I’m cursed too. Didn't I tell you that? Tch. For somebody who bickers a lot you don’t listen.” He sighed. “I stole the lives of people, and held a hand at eons of suffering, I bring calamity to those who are close to me. But you still decided to stick by my side, and besides… I..” He turned away. “I love you too..” He’s words barely even counted as a whisper, and not even a hum.

“Ah.. AAAAAA-” You screamed of astonishment, and fainted, sinking into the ocean floor.

“Y/N..? Y/N!?!!”
