YES YES YES YES YES I LOVE THIS ASK

warning beneath the cut SCARY WALL OF TEXT WARNING 😱

decided to divide it into colored parts if you dont gaf about certain elements 😭

second warning all of this is unedited rambling so some points might contradict each other or just plain not make sense.

okay so for CONTEXTTTTT

i have diagnosed OCD, and like, roughly since the end of last year and the beginning of this one, the 'obsession' part of OCD that was negatively affecting me, was the concept of time. how fleeting it was. how it's basically unescapable ALL THINGS MUST PASS (get out of my head george harrison) that shit proper cold dead SCARED ME MAN. sleepless & haunting me in my dreams type shi. sometimes it still does. i try not to think about it too much

to cope, i found great comfort in the 70s-80s since at the time i was and still am hyperfixated on david bowie and that was sort of his prime (love his 90s-00s work tho.) i was also starting to think of how much parallels and similar experiences i have to previous generations and how it's not ALL that bad after all so far. i can still walk to a record store and roller skate if i really wanted to, or go to a diner.

okey here's where the life changing stuff happens. i decided i'd listen to pink floyd's the dark side of the moon. then TIME CAME ON. ohhhh god oh gosh golly god i was bawling and everything the whole song spoke to me on a molecular level. then i found out about DB's song also called time, and i ALSO crode to that. i was like. wow. i'm not alone on this feeling of utter desperation and helplessness as eventually all things Must Pass. (GEORGE HARRSION GTFO)

i used to be bitchy on how i whined i was part of the 'wrong generation.' i thought i was alone, but virtually everyone of almost every era has thought this. somebody who lived my dream life wished they had what i have now.

that's when i started to lowkey realize the parallels and oneness of human experience. i could go to a club in the 70s, and (granted the infrastructure and music remains similar) i could today. nothing would change on how i perceive events. there is no color filter on the past. unless you got huge TVs and stuff all over your house, you could walk around, and think it's the 80s. AND IT'S BASICALLY THE 80s. the way your parents or any other gen Xer saw the world with their *eyes* (not counting the changes in buildings and stuff) is the same as you today pretty much.

i already really enjoy subcultures, and particularly how they evolve and adapt. the indomitable human spirit prevails no matter how gentrified or 'banned' things become. nowadays i feel like there is No Youth Subcultures. at least, none that will pass the test of time and be memorable enough to be remembered in the books. nobody's gonna go to their child and proudly say: "when i was your age, i was a chav" or something. and i credit this to the lack of creativity allowed in the wider music industry.

HEAR ME OUT this is because 90% of youth subcultures had everything to do with music. and now, everything must be palatable. to be clear there's nothing inherently wrong with that type of music, but to me it speaks no soul. it has no risks. contemporary pop music is very much formulaic and this is because now more than ever entertainment (this also applies to movies btw) is more of an investment than passion. I WILL SPECIFY.

music production is so vastly different genre to genre, and we're not letting it flourish because of how much short form content is valued nowadays. LET ME COOK.

tiktoks are formulaic. algorithms are formulaic. WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE. there must be an instant hook or rift in music if you want to 'go viral' as a musician. digitized fame doesn't mean SHIT (to me), since clearly monthly listeners don't equate real world fans. album sales are being replaced with streams, and because of how ASS spotify treats its artists, newer, less established acts need to GET ON THE GRIND INSTANTLY to earn Coin. that means that to be smart and work with the exploitative system they're given, they have to make albums filled with 1 minute 30 second songs. so you can technically give them the most amount of streams possible. i feel with this formulaic approach, you can't get 6 minute long gutwrenching guitar pieces. no more 4 minute drum solos, hell avant garde experimental works were 2 people shout their names out at each other for 20 minutes. THERE ARE NO MORE FRANK ZAPPAS.

i'm not going to be one of those sad assholes who claim there's 'no more good rock music' and how it'll never be the same. as corny as this is, the next beatles or nirvana could be right under our noses and we'll NEVER know because of how fame is distributed. it sucks to see a small band beg on tiktok for streams to kickstart their career. but this is what we gotta work with. if we want subcultures to be created and thrive, we gotta go looking underground again, except unlike in the past it's a kajillion times easier now AND everything gets gentrified in 2 tiktok weeks. but this is evolution. MUSIC EVOLUTION

the end honk shoo honk shoo (it's midnight)

[lovckett]

hey so like I read like majority of ur fics or literally just the dpax ones and sorry for like uh any grammar mistakes, I'm js going w it, ok anywayss back to what I'm tryna say, I really really reallyyyy love the way you give each and every character their own personalities like compardd to other fics based on my opinion the author doesn't really mind on small details at all well im kinda into looking at the words used and how they described a character/in the characters point of view/dialogue etc. etc. if u get me but basically yeah. Personal fav is ur HS au recently and oh my gulay I love everything like 1st chapter and I'm already invested I hope you don't get the ao3 writers curse like omg my majesty pls no 🙏🙏😭😭 ok back on track i noticed that Orion pax secretly loves literature nd like bc of prima oh my gosh I love their dynamic I hope we get to see more of them both interacting, yet orion is in a Sports major well personallly I think uh D-16 & Orion should switch like I agree what u said, I think yeah I saw it on ur Tweet something abt d-16 being jealous of Orion being able to socialize easily more than him and orion to d-16 bc he's stronger??... Well uhh im not really sure but that's what I recall. And also! Thank you for making Orion like an actual student aide but still giving him his typical personality of talking a LOT and maybe a bit too fast and awkward as usual + being responsible even if he prolly gets in trouble himself.. err and im also really glad sentinel fake prime isnt the principal cuz ugh ima crash out and uh yea idk how to put the rest I want to say in words I think I could express these er comments better. Also(sorry for the handful of also's) I love ur other fic w the timeloops thingy I'm js a sucker for highschool aus. That's it for now baiiii!! Pls ignore this ask that isn't really an ask

OH MY GULAY FILIPINO KA BA RIN ?! ALSO IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE RESPONSE IVE BEEN BUSY WITH SCHOOL

i'm so glad people have been generally liking my characterization of everyone !!! it just might be because i feel like i can relate to the way they'd react to things , but if it is , then score one for me bwahaha .and i've not gone through any sort of ao3-curse entailing experience yet , fortunately !!

YEAH !! YES ! YES EXACTLY THAT !!! it'll all be resolved eventually i swear !!! there wasn't much thought in me putting orion as a sports major other than that i thought it fit , but then i got the idea that maybe he'd only choose it because he also thought it fit him . MY APOLOGIES IM RAMBLING . anyway d-16 himself isn't too interested in sports ( he's interested in being a . er . HM . FORGOT WHAT I SAID . guard i think . ) but in my drafts he eventually switches over to somethin else . dunno what that is yet but it'll probably be something he better connects to 🙏

ORION IS IUST LIKE ME . it's why so many of my fics are just with him as the main pov . anytime tfo!orion fumbles it's really just me puppeting his character like a barbie doll .

sentinel may not be the principal but he will make a comeback ! haha ! smiles .

thank you again and again !! i love asks and not-asks i love chatter in general i hope you say sumthin again because it was a very enjoyable read 🫶

[greenofrain]

This is my liveblog draft that I made during the episode that I abandoned after Hermie started talking bc I got too invested.

I am a Tori stan, she is an icon

I'm so glad that we're getting Scam Likely as the emcee, I love him

Linc showing Tori the Garfield movie and laughing at the first line is GOLD

Also he relates to Garfield bc Jon adopted him 😭😭😭 my boy

"He's not being nice here" IM DYING OH MY GOD

Matt has to win, this is hysterical

This is actually so sweet

HES GOT ON JOKER MAKEUP NO FUCKING WAY

Taylor as Austin Powers was so worth it

OH BEHAVE holy fuck I threw my phone

FURRIES

TAYLOR YOU CAN'T JUST TAG OUT AFTER BRINGING UP NALA FROM THE LION KING

Scam Likely from across the room is so funny

Scary Marlowe is the greatest fictional character ever

MORE LIKE CROWD LEISURE

Using "Gosh" as a punchline catchphrase is the funniest shit I've ever heard

Maybe I should watch Napoleon Dynamite

GAWRSH

Will Campos deserves the win. Holy shit.

re: heartbreaker pt. iv (spoilers ahead!)

girl...... giRL.........!.?.?:?.!.!. oh my god when i say you cooked with this one and i am munching on it so good 👩‍🍳

thank you for the amazing update and i can def tell you poured your heart into the previous chapter (one of my favorites of all time to-date) and i'm SO.. SO impressed with part iv!! truly impressed with every inch of it fr. and as much as im a sucker for angst (as we know), it's always so lovely to have a lighter chapter with movement and heart-to-heart conversations. lived up to the wait and i will wait for as long as it takes if you are happy with your writing !!!

i dont really mention the spicy parts of of writing a lot just bc it makes me super flustered but UGH i am salivating. how do you cook it up so hard i will never understand but it makes me feel warm fuzzy feelings in my heart (amongst other feelings JAJSJSOCNAKLANXKEKD) you have me kicking my feet in the air and giggling like some poor lovesick girly 😭😭😭���️🛌

aside from that—

i just KNEW wonu would be the one to sus our couple out (which tbf, i agree with him that they didnt hide it very well that day in particular LOL). but it was so cute afterwards and i could literally see the scene play out in my mind when he ratted them 🥹😀 honestly i would be living so hard for a wonu drabble going more into his backstory and what he does outside of working— oh gosh gyu too i love how you wrote these two in the au SO MUCH 😭😭😭

more importantly, as an avid City Lights and Lights Out enjoyer— seeing our lead's interaction with Jeonghan tickles my heart in a way that makes me go 🥲 Seeing another perspective of what he was going through prior in the series before the latest chapter *scrunching my face with my fists* Makes me feel for him so badly again

I will never shut up about how i love the way you connect the series together in the au and how differently everyone fits together 🥰 Genuinely so invested in the au that I have to go back and real everything to pick apart and how they fit together. I hope you keep writing this au and expand to other members (even if it's just a drabble or hc) because at this point im just in love with all the characterization 😭🥹❤️

Looking forward to whatever you write next <333 !! Happy writing~

HI HONEY

i always get excited when i read your reviews!! i love this haha

it touches my teeny tiny heart to know that heartbreaker ch 3 is one of your favorites!!!! 🥹🩵 thank you baby

i love that you noticed our detective wonu at work 🕵🏻‍♀️ it was so so fun to write!! i imagined him like:

banging on the countertop as it dawned on him that yn is his boss's ex haha

i'll make a one shot for him one day!! hehe i have something planned already but i have so many projects atm 😩😩😩

i honestly debated a lot when i wrote that jeonghan scene.. i didn't want to mess up the timelines but at the end i decided to keep it because i really love jeonghan and i would like for him to show up in every fic i write hahahah

thank you!! thank you so much. i have so much fun writing this series, i'll try to keep it updated! thank you baby 🥹🩵🥹🩵

[etherealising]

okay life update: idk if you remember that guy that i was like crying over like forever ago? anyway, FUCK HIM NO LONGER LIKE HIM i found a new mans. its just a little crush right now, but hes so sweet. i got sick over the weekend and we (with a few of my friends) were planning on playing vb, and i had to cancel on him and he was like "oh no, can i bring you anything?" and he just kept offering to bring me whatever i needed, like bitch i almost folded right then and there. anyway, a little about him: he's a year older (senior in uni, im a junior), bio pre-med (wow im in love), tall, curly hair, checks off a bunch of my boxes anyway, enough about me, i NEED a life update from you babes!!! - a <3 anon who has missed you very very very much

stop cause why am i over here giggling and kicking my feet FOR YOU!!!

also FUCK OLE BOY!!!

ANYWAYS!!! this is so cute i'm cheesing so hard writing this right now because i love this for you (not that you got sick) but that you have a new crush AND the fact that he was trynna take care of you?!?!? OH MY GOSH (its like the bare minimum but you're not dating yet so i still think its a big deal!) and i most definitely would have folded so you're stronger than me bestie!!

ALL THE BOXES GIRLYY??? SIRI PLAY 'CHECK' BY FLO!!!!

honestly though this is so cute and you seem genuinely happy and excited by this and that makes me happy and excited for you and now i'm expecting weekly updates bestie b/c i am invested!!!! 🤍

sadly i don't think my life update is as exciting as yours : (

i've literally just been m.i.a. cause of work 😭 and because of my shift i never have time for anything like please universe i just wanna write my fanfic!!!

no but i'm seriously grateful to have a secure job considering the state of the world right now...but i def need a break from the world which is such a privileged take i know but i work in the news so i cannot escape THIS HELLSCAPE AHHHH!

AND TO TOP IT OFF THE ONLY FULL DAY I GET OFF IS SATURDAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO SLEEP BY 1 TO GET DECENT SLEEP FOR MY SHIFT ON SUNDAY AT 11 AND THEN PRODUCE A NEWSCAST IN 5 HOURS!!!

MY LIFE HAS GENUINELY BEEN SLEEP WORK SLEEP WORK AND NO FREE TIME...BESTIE I AM GOING THROUGH IT.

I FEAR I HAVE GIRLBOSSED WAY TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN AND MY LACK OF TIME MANAGEMENT IS EATING ME UP 🥲

but anyway i missed you and our talks! so sorry for this rant my love but thank you for indulging me 😅🤍🫶🏼

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Ok back again and finished and OH MY FUCKING GOSH THAT WAS LITERALLY THE BEST THING IVE EVER READ had me hooked the entire time UGHHH THE AIKU NAGI AGENDA IS SO REAL I was alr on board when you described it but reading the oneshot in actuality HOLLYYYYYYY

I esp love the way you developed Nagi’s “ego” here and also his like abandonment issues (?? Ykwim) but also his relation and semi attachment to Aiku it felt sm more meaningful/believable than a certain um duo….but the way Aiku approached him with the one shot method appealing to Nagi’s lack of motivation plus the way their “partnership” develops in a still essential but not so codependent way is actually my fav and ofc Nagi’s inner turmoil debating about what he really wants to do was a fantastic development/exploration into his character as we know it right now I’m mad at myself because I can’t find better words to explain this all but that was truly such a satisfying read like I couldn’t put my phone down reading it NAGI AIKU DUO ON TOP anyways

Also ofc KARASU MENTIONNNN LMAOOO yeah anyways I also love the tension with sendou and sae too also when sae was like “you guys are like shit that doesn’t stink you had one job and still failed” LMDOAOSAOA PEAK INSULT IM CRYING but yeah anyways this almost makes me wanna say give me more but the ending point was also perfect AIOIDHSGH anyways ANOTHER MIRA BANGER THIS IS THE FIC breaking you out of the fall hibernation and its absolute GAS RAGGHHHH someone needs to just make you kaneshiro atp

- Karasu anon

NAGI + AIKU AGENDA SO REAL SO TRUE SO CANON (they have literally spoken 0 times in canon) HELPPP I WAS WORRIED I SOUNDED INSANE GOING ON ABT THEM 😭 like even as far as what-if aus go this one was out there so i was lowkey like “nah they all must think i’m crazy for being so invested in this random dynamic that i’m writing an entire fic for it” I’M GLAD YOU WOUND UP LIKING IT THOUGH

omg yay i feel like this lowkey ended up being just as much me rambling on about nagi’s ego and psyche as it was a random au so it’s nice to hear you think i got it right ^^ his abandonment issues being glossed over in canon is fr my roman empire especially with how that SHOULD have manifested in his health and habits which is why i made his basically be at the verge of malnourishment pre-aiku JFHDHS like not only is he so skinny that it kinda frightens his teacher but that’s also why he’s so sleepy in the beginning of the story!! like he’s still lazy and talks about napping up until the end because. well. it’s nagi 😭 but him being permanently exhausted in the first half stems from him having like no food besides fruit jellies ever 😟 and i wanted his relationship with aiku to make sense given that context?? like it’s not just a “oh he likes me so i like him” because a) aiku is too well adjusted for that and b) idk that’s not my fav dynamic overall…so it became this thing where aiku wants to nurture the best striker since he can’t be that himself so he picks nagi as his bet (#gambler) and at first he obviously seems to care way more abt nagi than the inverse but then by the end it’s like. oh nagi doesn’t want him to leave. oh nagi actually loves him (me personally i would say in a friend/sibling way but like if this was canon people would probably ship it so whatever). oh nagi needs him more than he needs nagi…but actually neither of them really NEED each other it’s just that nagi doesn’t WANT aiku to abandon him which is crazy because until he met aiku he never wanted anything wait this also reminds me i feel like i really cooked with the ending and how it mirrors the beginning??? like at the start nagi doesn’t care about the snow or soccer or his life or anything and by the end he’s looking up and hoping it’ll snow soon and he’s begging sae to pass to him and he wants to be alive FHDJDJD UGHHH HE WANTS TO BE ALIVE

hehe i thought the one goal thing kinda ate too it felt like exactly the kind of thing someone would say to get nagi on their team and it made sense with aiku being a defender?? WRITING NAGI’S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE WAS SO FUN i hope the change in his mindset was gradual enough that it didn’t feel too forced or sudden that by the end he’s having a genuine crisis and he’s actually trying where he never has and he finally reveals he DOES care for aiku but ALSO he’s friends with the rest of the u20s too!! like he keeps being like “yeah aiku’s my only friend and barely” but he knows so much about all of the u20 players and he tries to cheer them up and keep them from getting stressed because they’re his FRIENDSSS like hayate and kitsunezato and all of the rest HE CARES ABOUT THEM TOO 😭😭😭 he lowkey kept slandering niou though idek why i did that it was kinda funny though i think that one line where nagi’s like “for all of niou’s propensity for following aiku, he really does come through when it counts, and he does have a mind of his own, which, you know. it’s nice when he uses it.” is one of my favs AHAHA he’s such a diva i love him

IS IT EVEN ME IF I DON’T SNEAK KARASU IN THERE 🙂‍↕️ that one epinagi panel where nagi calls karasu “cocky crow-san” or smth is a) SO fucking funny and b) the inspiration for karasu just being nagi’s opp for the whole game OSDHDJS but omg sae was so funny in this one lowkey i thought he might’ve been TOO mean so i almost got rid of that line but then i was like “no this is too funny” so i just popped the ooc tag in there and called it a day 😭

i really like the way it ended so agreed i probably couldn’t write more BUT there were two things i cut from the story that i’ll just mention here because i probably won’t ever write them LMAO but around when nagi is talking about how aiku is a hassle as a friend and he always makes nagi come to parties with him there was going to be a scene where a girl is trying to rizz nagi up and nagi looks to aiku for help and aiku mouths smth like “tell her she’s pretty” so nagi is like ?? how will that make her go away ?? but he trusts aiku’s vision so he DOES IT and the girl is like 😳 and then nagi is like WTF because now she’s rizzing him up even MORE 😭 the oaeu tried its best to rear its head even in this au but i could sense the fic getting crazy long already so i had to cut it 😢 the other one isn’t really a scene per se but in that last moment when sae is helping nagi up after his second goal, he was going to say something along the lines of “maybe you won’t like madrid, but if you keep playing like this, there’s a club in germany that would be happy to sign you. their striker’s an asshole but it’s cold enough there for bad weather” therefore setting up a nagi + kaiser interaction as well as showing that sae does see some promise in nagi HAHA it just ended up feeling a bit too lighthearted compared to the more serious vibe of the ending so i took it out but please do imagine that sae says that to nagi while they’re in the locker room post match or smth 🤩

DID I NOT TELL YOU THIS HAPPENS EVERY FALL AND THEN EVERY LATE NOVEMBER I MAKE MY COMEBACK??? it’s literally a pattern now like i should just plan my writing endeavors around it anyways YAYYYYY I REALLY AM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT I WAS SO SCARED TO POST IT i’ve gotten really nice comments though which is always cool!! but YEAH maybe long story short i should do stuff outside of my comfort zone like this more often

[royaltea000]

I hope you don't mind answering these questions. I've become very invested in your spidersonas. Does Gacy also live in Myanmar with Pingkuu? Is Gacy also burmese or wasian or is he living there as an English/American immigrant(im assuming off the name)? :0 or this like a "theyre from different dimensions but end up meeting due to circumstances" situation? also... boyfriends? 👀

Hope this wasn't too much ^^

Oh my gosh thank you so much for your interest that makes me so happy!! 😭💕

In my mind they live in separate universes I made them completely independent from each other - Pingkuu was made cuz I wanted to see a Spider-Man of my ethnicity and Gacy was based more of me as a person lol

Gacy is in fact wasian how did you know?! He lives with his dad’s side of the family in Chinatown, San Francisco

Pingkuu is a kind of dark vigilante who is both feared and respected by the common people he protects and is more of a horror story because the people he goes after are more of the worst of the worst or people with influence who can just pay their way out of jail and when he catches them they just disappear forever. Maybe someone will catch a glimpse of them but they will look suspiciously wooden. He is part of the spiderverse and likes to act like a lifeless limp doll in the lobby so anytime a new guy goes up to him like hey what’s this he can give them the worst jumpscare of their lives (<= asshole) A lot of people don’t really approve of his methods tho since he’s not adverse to killing or torture of criminals. Not a lot of people know this but he’s made his own underground prison where he keeps influential criminals who keep escaping punishment, often government officials so he is very wanted by the state.

Gacy is also part of the spiderverse and I think they’d actually get along great now that you mention it. They’re both mischievous and based off my desire to see horror elements in spidersonas (like imagine getting wrapped in skin would that be freaky or what) but Gacy gets spends more time with my friend’s sona Suispider they’re best buddies <3 I like to think Pingkuu and Gacy went on a mission together once and the poor villain of the week will never psychologically recover :(

[lotti-lyric]

Hi I just found your blog and I love it! Could I please have a romantic MHA male matchup?💕 (pronouns: she/her) I would be okay with any heroes / villians / students

I’m 22, I’m a Capricorn sun (cancer moon and libra rising) I have brown eyes and bright pink dyed hair - I love art like drawing and painting, art history, and baking!

I HATE bugs and I cry if one is ever near me lol. Other pet peeves: people walking really slow in front of me, people coughing in public without covering up

I’m very empathetic and always trying to lighten the mood and make people happy. I’m very chill and don’t have problems with anyone (unless they’re rude or mean to me or my friends) I can’t stand people who are rude ignorant. I’m super indecisive and need a lot of validation. A quirk someone gave me once was reality warping (kinda like the scarlet witch) and they said I would have like choatic / trickster type vibes (like loki) and that’s my dream quirk.

I’m b l i n d so always wearing my glasses haha also I love having a sense of humor. I also have anxiety and can be way too emotional sometimes. I’m an ENFP & also I love tie dye clothes, makeup, and everything pastel.

Sorry if this is way too much !!! thank you sm :)

charlotte’s interlude!!💗- AHHHH my first request!! hi love, tysm, it means the world!! i’m so glad you like my blog!! 💗😭 you sound like such a fun person oh my GOD!! all matchups and requests are open so feel free to send stuff in!! lots of love, thanks again!! 🌸🦋✨

Taishiro Toyomitsu (aka Fatgum!!)

⊱ ────── {⋅. ♪ .⋅} ────── ⊰

THIS SONG IS YALL ^^

SAID WHAT I SAID

oh my gosh so the first time you guys meet

talk about love at first SIGHT

he’s such a genuine and nice guy so he was LIVING for your empathy!! he saw you helping a stranger who had fallen over

first thing he noticed, def ur glasses!! HE THINKS THEYRE FUCKING ADORABLE OH MY GOD

once you guys are together bestie invest in some contacts bc he’s gonna be wearing those 90% of the time ��

“Taishi, baby, I need those to SEE-“

“OH RIGHT IM SO SORRY BEAUTIFUL-“

before he even knows you very well, he’s already giving a lot of validation!! he’s always complimenting you on your makeup or your groovy asf tie dye fits!!

one of his biggest fears is that while using your quirk, you’ll get hurt or enter another reality altogether

he just wants to be with you 🥺

YALL GO TO THSOE POTTERY WHERE U PAINT THE LITTLE CERAMICS ALL THE TIME AND HES SO SHIT AT IT BUT DOZENS R ON THE SHELF OF UR APARTMENT

if it’s ok with you, he def appreciates your baking, especially for help with his quirk!! like it tastes fuckin fire and he needs to eat anyways!!

earned the title of the bug slayer!! they’re gone before you can even see them!! if you were to start crying, he would hold you and pet your hair (which he LOVES BTW), just understanding

“I know baby… it’s ok.. I won’t let anything get you!!”

he’s very very supportive and always makes sure you’re comfortable in every situation!!

he’s big on giving you hugs from behind and you guys definitely have “your song” together 🥺

[kithtaehyung]

RYEN!

gosh .. how do i even begin with the more mv.. that man was not hobi .. it was HOSEOK. im so in love with his outfit it definitely ranks second before his dior outfit!

if someone told me he was going to do a semi rock concept in his song i would tell them THEY’RE CRAZY, DELUSIONAL, AND INSANE?? because who WOULD’VE GUESSED ?? his voice, his flow, his rhythm, everything about that song deserves all the awards 🤯 im definitely more scared of the other member’s solo projects ( in a good way ofc! ) and wonder if they’ll do different concepts we would never expect from them!

also so sorry if it looked like i disappeared for a while .. 🥺 i actually “submitted” an ask but i’m not sure if i signed it off with my name or submitted it at all 😭

all i said was that i was a clown for misinterpreting 3tan yoongis line .. ( “one day” ) 🤡 my face when i realized 🤡 HES GOING IN RAW GUYS I REPEAT HES GOING IN RAW 😭 ( if im wrong again i might just need to invest in glasses ) 🤡

i also check your page regularly now that i have free time and find myself re-reading your writings for jin because im so in love with them and seokjin 🤍 i remember reading last november and jin posted on his instagram, and what was it..? A SHIRTLESS PICTURE OF HIMSELF?!!!??? the way i screamed so LOUD WOAH

oh man i could only imagine your reaction to it .. thats all i have to share for today 😇 i still need to recover from jins shirtless picture and more, lets hope this time i submitted this and signed off my name 🥹

cheers,

- 🍷

WINE HELLOOOO i see it i see this message!! I missed you😭 don’t even get me started on the more mv bc i’m just gonna start talking about it and will not stop??? it’s so fresh and genius and none of us are prepared for what me gonna happen on July 15th.. (or for any future projects yeah🧍‍♀️)

And not just the MV. You’re right, even the song is dizzyingly intelligent in his flow and rhythm and word choice and schemes. I was reading an analysis and my head spun bc of all the things that we were missing just from the English translations being so off🫠 But I digress before I get into it💀

LMAOOO YEAH YOONGI REALLY WENT THERE WITH HIS IMPLICATION IM SCREAMING STILL!!! Goodbye I am no longer here🙃

My… reaction… to the Jin pic……………. I didn’t know whether to chuck my phone at the nearest wall or launch it off a cliff🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ I WAS LOSING IT. IN SHAMBLES DO U UNDERSTAND?????😫 he said hot boy summer and that’s that‼️ good luck to any of us recovering from that ever🫠

[hyunjinspark]

I've been going back to previous parts of the story while waiting for updates and it's making me realize why I've become so invested in this story. This is the first fanfic I've stuck around for that's more than 3 parts long and rereading it again makes me realize why. Your writing is simply amazing. I don't know how else to put it. The story is very well written, the plot is really great and the cliffhangers just keep you on the edge. The angst and the slow burn is immaculate (I know I'm constantly sobbing and complaining with every update, but I actually love it deep down). The smut/mature parts are perfect and they feel real and not super awkward and cringe (and I truly mean that because, a lot of the time, I find it very hard to find well written smut that meets my standards). Not to mention the concept of the au is very creative. Overall, as the reader I can tell that you are very passionate about what you are writing and that you put a lot of effort into giving us the best of your artistry. Thanks to you, I have one more thing to look forward to in order to get through life. For that, truly, thank you! You deserve all the warm and fuzzy hugs in the world! I hope that you are taking care of yourself the same way that you are taking care of our entertainment through this story. ❣

Sorry this is a long ask, but I wanted to sprinkle a bit of appreciation your way.

oh my gosh, thank you so much!!! don't ever apologize for long reviews, they are my favorite. thank you so much for liking my writing and for saying all those nice things 😭😭🥺 i just like to write a story how i would like to read it, cause i absolutely love reading, but when i can't find something i like, i write it myself haha.

im so glad you like the angst and slowburn !! and the smut ahhh, it's my first time writing proper smut cause i do feel like i would cringe writing certain words but i really enjoyed it writing for hyun and yn tbh, looking forward to the next one 😉

you made my week with such a lovely comment, thank you, im so happy i can give you something to look forward to.

i have decided i will be live reacting to this based off just the first few lines. TOPAZ YOU ARE MAKING ME SUFFER!!

SEONGHWA STILL CALLING HER LOVER!! STOP I LOVE IT STILL SHOULD BE ME IM JUST SAYING

Seonghwa was right, of course. He was fingerfucking you in the back of your classroom, inside the small office connected to it. You were so goddamn wet that the noise of his fingers moving in and out of you was so loud that it was the reason you were whimpering in the first place. Why he made you feel the way you felt was beyond your capabilities of figuring out but it still frustrated you just as much. 

right in the back of her classroom, love it, be embarrassed. this is just so 🤌🤌🤌🤌 perfect-o. such a great start to a second part.

omg the "don't you dare" 🤭🤭 "needy much?" yes, very much.

oof love the little back and forth. like... i can clearly tell some time has passed since part one, but the two's relationship has really seemed to just develop and they grew closer. very like, not enemies, but an old married couple almost lol

i love yn's ambition. like despite fucking seonghwa, she still clearly has a job that she wants and needs to do. she wants to teach and i really admire that as a teacher myself lol

just let seonghwa be a thoughtful lover, yn, i promise you won't be disappointed

ooooo this backstory on the civil war!! i am invested. learning about what both yn and seonghwa did.

“I know you get off me submitting to you,” You whispered harshly. “Don’t pretend otherwise. You seduced me to reduce me to this. A white magic user on her knees for a dark magic user she despised.”

this. i loved this. and especially after seonghwa talks about how both white magic users and dark magic users should be treated equally. perfect.

LISTEN– i love seonghwa calling yn lover BUT IMAGINE IF HE CALLED HER DREAM!! you know..... because she deals with dreams with her magic........ okay i'll leave.

"Just…” You breathed in and then out. “I’m letting you be gentle with me. Please.”

YES PLEASE!!! also i just want to note that yn seems a little unsure about sucking seonghwa off and while seonghwa could be just mean or whatever. he's not. like she clearly wants to return the gesture of getting him off, but she's unsure and seonghwa can see that BECAUSE SHE FUCKING ASKS FOR HIM TO BE GENTLE FHDSKJFHSJKDF I LOVE IT

“I wonder, will you be a good little White Magic User and spit? Or will you be my good little dream witch and swallow?”

SIR??!!?? I WILL GIVE UP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW FOR YOU WITH THAT TYPE OF LANGUAGE

okay that scene with students. just know that there are such thing as dumb questions ALSO the rabbit scaring yn was lowkey funny. loved it.

MINGI BABY YOU'RE TRYING SO HARD. ITS OKAY ILL LET YOU SHOT YOUR SHOT ANY DAY OF THE WEEK IF YOU WANT.

HONGJOONG FHSDKFJHSDKFJSHKFSDJFHKS

CAPTAIN HONGJOONG!!!! FHSDKJFHDSKJFHS oh gosh... i feel faint...

also hongjoong choosing the SAME table that seonghwa first sat at.... very interesting you men of power seem to do... very interesting. got my eye on you.

ooooo wooyoung please be jealous. i love it. also yn being a "heartbreaker" we stan break them hearts my dream queen, break them hearts. also, i'm sensing slight tension between some people....

LE GASP THE SCAR!! I KNEW IT!! CAN NEVER TRUST A MAN WHO WAS A CAPTAIN 😭😭 also seonghwa defending yn, baby yes thank you.

“Did she tell you she was mine before she was yours?” Seonghwa didn’t get jealous, however. “How stupid of you to lose her then.”

O M G I LOVED THESE LINES

i'm sensing tension between some people... i think they need to fuck, i'm JUST saying.

“I’m too busy dealing with stupid student antics. I hardly can find the time to summon S-class demons to take over the world,” Seonghwa retorted, rearranging the cutlery in front of him.

hongjoong, sir, you need to worry about the STUDENTS trying to summon an s-class demon, not the director.

wooyoung please, i love you and you're handsome but those dinners aren't it i'm afraid. gordon ramsey would be disappointed.

"exchanging war stories" ummm... yes maam you are now.

You rolled your eyes. “I don’t care about your scars, Seonghwa.”

oof, yn... that's seems a little mean. like damn, i get not wanting to share your past relationship, but no reason to be this rude. THIN ICE.

the sudden rage?!!?? o m g please WHAT?? MANY THOUGHTS JUST HAPPENED!!! also, glad yn was just surprised feels like thats just the right reaction to have to something so sudden. not afraid, just surprised.

that was just a good roller coaster to go on. from the smut to the interactions with mingi, to reuniting with hongjoong, finding out him and seonghwa fought against each other... that hongjoong gave seonghwa his scar. and then to wooyoung's emotions and feelings lingering in the background. yn knowing the cook's not happy yet... almost not totally caring about it, but still realizing that he's not happy.

then yn talking about her past with hongjoong... sort of. i'm sorry topaz BUT IM GONNA NEED A THEIR STORY IN A SEPARATE THING FHSKJFHKSDH. but the ending was just 🤌🤌 and i know by the next chapter that IM GONNA BE FEED!!

just want to say that i also need wooyoung to get his own story. like baby don't worry about that dream professor when you have me 🥴

You whimpered and Seonghwa chuckled softly into the shell of your ear. “What’s wrong, lover?”

You swallowed loudly. “Nothing is wrong, Seonghwa.”

“Then why the small noises of discontent?” He placed soft kisses down the side of your neck, with the aid of you craning your neck, of course.

“I don’t want to be here!” You said in frustration.

“Don’t want to be here?” He echoed you in a crooning voice. “A little late for that now, don’t you think?”

Seonghwa was right, of course. He was fingerfucking you in the back of your classroom, inside the small office connected to it. You were so goddamn wet that the noise of his fingers moving in and out of you was so loud that it was the reason you were whimpering in the first place. Why he made you feel the way you felt was beyond your capabilities of figuring out but it still frustrated you just as much. 

“I could stop, I suppose,” Seonghwa mused out loud.

“Don't you dare,” You hissed immediately and then internally winced. Needy much?

Seonghwa continued as if you hadn't said a thing. “But then again, I am having too much fun.”

Your sweater was pulled up to your chin, your bra also pulled up so that your breasts were bare to the moonlight. Every now and then Seonghwa tweaked your nipple so that you would cry out for him more. Your leg was propped up by the chair that normally your visiting students sat in. Everything was so debauched right now, how could you not be dripping, soaking wet?

“If only your students could see you now,” He spoke as he added a third finger to stretch your inner walls. “I hear you’re quite firm with them; that you’ll only accept a hundred percent from them. The grades are showing too, despite the added graffiti to the public washrooms. They call you the Taskmistress. But I’m seeing none of that right now.”

“Seonghwa,” You said through gritted teeth.

He chuckled again, male-sounding and amused. “Yes, lover?”

“Do you have to talk so much? Can’t you simply--”

You didn’t get to finish your sentence because Seonghwa cupped your breast and was squeezing it gently and made you moan. “Come now, you and I both know that most of this is our back and forth. What fun would it be if I simply fucked you and I didn’t speak a word?”

“I--” You let out an unseemly cry as Seonghwa now worked his thumb into the mix, rubbing your clit in lazy circles as he continued to fuck you with three fingers that you now realized he had added. “Seonghwa,” You groaned from simply feeling so much pleasure from him.

“Are you sure you’re enjoying this?” Seonghwa teased, knowing full well how fucked out you were. “You were much louder and more vocal when we used my pain spell.”

Your hips began to roll with his thrusts, feeling your impending orgasm building. “Puh-please,” You whined.

“Please what, lover?” Seonghwa purred, a habit you were starting to resent because it usually meant he was about to get exactly what he wanted.

“Please, can I come?” You whined in frustration once again.

“What will you give me in return?” His thrusts into you slowed to bargain with you.

“Whatever you want!” You said, mind simply focused on your orgasm.

“Not sure you want to promise me that," Seonghwa warned you. “What if I said I wanted you to give me little, fat babies that could run around the campus?”

"Not this again!" You panted. "Seonghwa, we talked about this. Do you really want to have to replace another teacher?"

Seonghwa responded with no delay. "The students can have a free period. It'll be fine."

"No. I did not take this job with the intention of seducing the director and becoming his pregnant lover. I want to teach our students about dreams. I want it to be useful to them in ways that I never got to explore." And that was the utter truth.

"Fine." But he genuinely sounded disappointed by your flat refusal.

"So?" You whined again.

"Did you really doubt I'd start this without finishing it?" Seonghwa thrusted his fingers into you with a curl to his fingers that began to massage your g-spot.

"Hnnnnnnn!" You groaned, teeth firmly biting into your bottom lip. "I meant--! What else--fuck fuck fuck--do you want?"

As much as you knew Seonghwa enjoyed playing with your body like it was an instrument, he wasn't getting anything out of this clandestine meeting currently. 

"Hmmmm," Seonghwa contemplated the offer for real this time. "I should take advantage of your clouded brain to ask for something incredibly intimate."

"Seonghwa!" You whined.

"Take me in your mouth, lover. I only think that's fair, hmmm?" Seonghwa placed soft kisses on the back of your neck, sweaty or not. In between being completely lewd with you, he seemed to hint that he could be quite the thoughtful lover… if you let him, that was. And you were not inclined to allow that.

"Fine fine fine FINE! Just," You let out another whimper, rolling your hips desperately. "Wanna come!"

"My pleasure," He assured you.

He focused solely on fucking you with his fingers, hitting the soft spot inside of you again and again, until you had to bite down on your finger as you came. The scream that threatened to come from your mouth was too loud to be coming from your classroom so late at night. If someone came in to check on you, you would be beyond embarrassed. Not to mention, it would probably give Seonghwa just another reason to lift the veil and reveal to any one that was willing to listen, that he had you wrapped around his fingers--literally and figuratively.

You whined over and over as your climax lapped at your nerves, echoing and making you twitch still. Seonghwa always seemed to have this effect on you. Or at least what you had noticed during the past few times you had let this happen again.

You groaned as you let your leg down after Seonghwa pulled his fingers from within you. You turned around, kneeling on the floor, needing the rest but also preparing for what you were willing to give Seonghwa in return. It, unfortunately, gave you a perfect view of him sucking on each one of his fingers to clean your wetness from them. You watched as he seemed to take great relish in the notion, those dark eyes peering down on you as he did so.

"What did you mean by 'ways you never got to explore’?" Seonghwa adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose habitually, as if your previous conversation had just occurred to him.

You rolled your eyes. “It was on my resume, Director,” You said smartly. “I was in the Intelligence Corps during the War.”

Seonghwa cocked his head curiously. “How is it that we never met?”

It wasn’t the first time he had referenced the civil war before. “Well, I was not involved in any of the physical or metaphysical fighting. Because of my penchant for dreaming, I worked covertly. I dove into the other side’s dreams and pulled imperative information for my side to use.”

Seonghwa hummed in acknowledgement. “I heard about you.”

“And would I have heard about you?” You asked, interest piqued. 

Seonghwa grinned and it sent a shiver down your spine. “I was a part of the metaphysical fighting. They sent me in to make a bloody mess of the battlefield. After each successful battle, I went back to collect a Corpse Crow feather. It was my trophy, of sorts."

"The Reaper?" You said in awe. 

You couldn't help it. You had heard of the stories of the man that could summon demons like they were his beloved pets. When the legend spread about how he was secretly Death's reaper, the White Magic Army grew more resolute to subdue the Black Magic Rebellion. It was only more proof that any black magic user was simply there to ruin the world.

Seonghwa’s fingers curled under the corner of your jaw to tip your head back to him. "I only fought for our rights. We deserved to be treated as equals."

"I know you get off me submitting to you," You whispered harshly. "Don't pretend otherwise. You seduced me to reduce me to this. A white magic user on her knees for a dark magic user she despised."

Seonghwa smirked. "Don't hate me so much now, hmmm?"

"I don't." You broke your gaze with him. "You're very gentle when you want to be."

"When you'll let me," Seonghwa corrected you softly.

"You're being ridiculous," You shook your head out of his grip. "Are we doing this or not? I have papers to finish grading, that you so rudely interrupted me from doing."

Today it was leather pants that you reached for. His long body was framed with a rather obnoxious red jacket. Seonghwa was the fanciful dresser, but then again, it seemed he relished it as the director. He said nothing as you impatiently yanked his pants down to his thighs to reveal his cock.

"It's going to get messy," Seonghwa warned you. His hand was on the top of your head now, almost cupping the back.

"Don't you like messy?" You grumbled.

"It's an adorable look on you, certainly," Seonghwa said, smiling crookedly.

You scoffed at his remark. "Don't get cute with me. It will do you no good."

"Right," Seonghwa gave a nod, sharp and quick, "You prefer me to be intimidating and arrogant."

You rolled your eyes. "I'm starting now."

"I'm ready for you, lover," Seonghwa purred.

You struggled, genuinely, to get all of Seonghwa inside of your mouth. He was that long. You should have realized it, all those times he had fucked you and hit the end of you, but it didn’t quite have the same effect as taking him in your mouth. After taking him as far into your mouth as you could, you released him with a lewd pop. “Yeah about that blow job…”

Seonghwa cocked his head, “Chickening out already?”

You sent a glare up at him. “Seonghwa.”

He hummed back at you in affirmation. “I'm listening."

"Just…" You breathed in and then out. "I'm letting you be gentle with me. Please."

Seonghwa became serious, his eyes searching yours. "Don't."

You blinked up at him. "What?" 

Back came his charming smile. "Nothing. I'll treat you good." Next, Seonghwa rubbed the head of his cock against your lips. "Treat me good too."

You opened your mouth and let him push in. You found yourself flattening your tongue and Seonghwa pulled out. The tip of your tongue ran along the underside of his head before he pushed in again. You slowly began to bob your head along his length. 

You focused on the moment, about to close your eyes when Seonghwa’s hand tightened, making your scalp tingle. "Don't you dare close your eyes, lover."

You let out a big breath through your nose and flashed your eyes upwards. "Oh, if looks could kill," Seonghwa chuckled.

You dropped your jaw and changed the angle. You pushed Seonghwa’s sensitive head crudely against the side of your cheek. He swallowed, clenching his jaw in response. 

"I wonder, will you be a good little White Magic User and spit? Or will you be my good little dream witch and swallow?"

You leaned back, circling your tongue around the head of his cock. When he tossed his head back, revealing the sharpness of his jaw and the beauty of his neck, you brought your teeth gently down.

Seonghwa sucked in air as a hiss. His lips curled on one side. "Oh, does the little white magic user have teeth?"

You took him swiftly back into your mouth, barely battling down your gag reflex, but managing to get him down your throat. Seonghwa moaned. You hollowed your cheeks, bracing a hand at the base of his shaft, and taking him as deeply and as quickly as you could. Seonghwa’s moans turned into a crescendo of airy cries until he literally shot his seed down your throat.

"Fuck," Seonghwa swore, his plump lips releasing from his teeth. 

You released him and wiped your mouth with the back of your hand. "Guess that makes me--" 

You made a face and Seonghwa laughed, albeit tiredly. "Mine? No, I'm not sure that applies to you."

You stood up and pulled all your clothes back in place. "I suppose you should go then."

"Professor," Seonghwa winked at you and left in a cloud of his scent.

You fell more than sat into your chair, combing your hand through your hair. What the hell were you doing?

ღ ღ ღ

"I'm going to teach you how to crush up valerian root properly, so that you may induce yourself into a dreamlike state," You said, smiling brightly.

One of your students raised their hand. "Can't we just spell ourselves asleep?"

"You could. But if you spelled yourself asleep, how are you going to spell yourself out of it… if you're asleep?" You raised an eyebrow at them.

The student looked sheepish and you patted their shoulder. "So we go for a more natural remedy and that way we can estimate how long we'll be under and when we'll be able to wake up."

You pulled out a mortar and pedestal and carefully explained how much root for how many hours. The technique for grinding was tedious but any chunks would mess up the estimate of how many hours you'd be sleeping. 

A small white rabbit with terrifying pink eyes hopped onto your desk, scaring you. "You may inform your students that classes are done for the day."

You frowned at the talking animal until you realized it was a demon Seonghwa had summoned to deliver a message. "I want you to all be prepared to be grinding these roots tomorrow and if I see any chunks then you're going to be sleeping through the weekend, understood?" You announced crisply.

"Yes Mistress Dreams," Your class intoned and then it was like a zoo for them to get out.

The bunny remained, however. "Can I help you?" 

"You're dismissed as well." The bunny twitched its nose and then it was gone.

"Damn arrogant black magic users," You cursed under your breath. You exited your classroom promptly.

"Professor!" Mingi caught up with you quickly, as was his right with his long legs.

"Does he do this a lot?" You wondered.

"Dismiss class all of a sudden?" Mingi thought about it for a moment, "Yeah. But I don't think he does it for the students."

"Oh, certainly not--" You had to bite your tongue. Maybe you shouldn't make scathing comments about the director of the school to another professor. You changed the direction of your sentence, "Why does he do it?"

Mingi rubbed his fingers together, a nervous tick, you had gathered during your first few weeks here. Oddly enough, the soot on his fingers never smeared. "Dunno. He's very hush hush about it. Everything resumes the same the next day. Maybe a dry announcement that love spells are forbidden before All Hallows Eve and it's better if you simply don't get caught doing it."

You let out a noise of disbelief. "Of course. Because the higher evil is getting caught, not doing the love spell itself."

Mingi screwed up his face in concentration, "Not sure I've ever been caught in a love spell. Once, there was this animal whisperer who--"

"Mingi," You stopped his far-fetched story before it got out of hand. "It's a rare day off. I plan on finding a good book to read and enjoying the last of the fall sunshine."

Mingi smiled pleasantly. "That sounds nice. Perhaps--"

"Nope," You cut him off, "Don't even think about it. I do not want to get involved with the faculty." Which was true. You had made that mistake once and you didn't really want to think about what Seonghwa might do if he caught you with another professor.

Mingi shrugged his shoulders, unfazed. "I've got a bottle of Gin that was said to be made by the wee folk if you're ever interested."

You couldn't help but be a little charmed by his confidence never wavering. “Heard, Professor Elements.”

Mingi made a face, “Please, call me Mingi.”

You laughed, waving a hand and taking a separate path to town. You did have a lovely afternoon in the library. The town had a small one albeit stuffed with interesting books that you had never picked up in the big city. You found a café to snack and read until the owner quietly pushed you out, insisting you get some real food from Wooyoung’s pub.

It was an utter surprise for you to come face to face with your old captain. “Hongjoong?”

“Lieutenant,” Hongjoong smiled widely, “To what do I owe this honor of your presence?”

“I work at the school,” You maintained your frown, “The real question is what are you doing here?”

Hongjoong shrugged, “Here? I’m getting dinner.”

“Hongjoong,” You scolded him, “We aren’t in the war anymore, you don’t have to dance around with your words.”

Hongjoong giggled and you followed him into the dining room. “Old habits die hard.”

Hongjoong sat down, a wide stance but he also happened to choose the same table Seonghwa had when you first dined here. Old habits die hard indeed. Two men that were used to guarding their own backs. 

“Will you sit with me?” Hongjoong wondered, his eyes shining up at you.

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea, Joong.” You winced at the shortening of his name. You didn’t think that sort of intimacy was called for anymore.

“Please,” Hongjoong motioned for you to take the chair across from him, “You know I don’t beg for much.”

You took the seat, albeit reluctantly. “You don’t need to. What station do you have now within the army? Lieutenant Colonel?”

“General, actually,” Hongjoong corrected you, ducking his head slightly in humbleness.

“Congratulations,” You said cordially.

Wooyoung came up to your table but he wasn’t the flirty, happy man you had known only a few weeks ago. “Mistress Dreams,” Wooyoung said to you bluntly, “What would you like for you and your guest?” Except Wooyoung made ‘guest’ sound like it was a derogatory term.

“Whatever you feel like making this evening, Woo,” You said gently. Looks like he wasn’t too impressed with your stint with Seonghwa.

Hongjoong followed Wooyoung with dark eyes. “Always a heartbreaker, Lieutenant.”

You clucked your tongue at him. “That was a long time ago, Hongjoong.”

“Doesn’t feel like it.” Hongjoong looked directly in the eyes. 

“Well it was,” You insisted, “Better to leave it in the past.”

“Isn’t this a pleasant surprise,” A cool tone drawled from behind you.

You whipped around in your seat to find Seonghwa with a not-so-pleasant smile on his face. "Ah, Seonghwa, I'd like you to meet Hongjoong, my--"

The tension between the two men could cut like a knife.

"What am I missing here?" You wondered.

"My scar? The one you never asked about? He gave it to me."

You stared at Hongjoong. "You met the Reaper in battle?"

Hongjoong ignored your question. "How did you see his scar?"

You looked down at the table immediately. "That's none of your business."

"What a world we live in," Hongjoong laughed mirthlessly. "Where Black Magic users and White Magic users fu--"

"Sir, there is a lady present." Seonghwa smacked a hand down on the table rather loudly. "Do not insult her."

Hongjoong cocked his head, tongue caught between his teeth and you knew you were done for. Hongjoong was very petty and vindictive, in his own way. "Did she tell you she was mine before she was yours?"

Seonghwa didn't get jealous, however. "How stupid of you to lose her then."

Hongjoong’s eyes narrowed down at the director. "I didn't lose her."

"Hongjoong," You scolded him, "Seonghwa, enough of this. Like two horses, you two, stamping and snorting at each other."

Seonghwa bowed his head. "I'll let you finish your dinner."

You let out a great sigh, rubbing your temples. “Need I remind you that the war is over?” You turned to Hongjoong, “If I can work for him then you can endure a dinner with him.”

Hongjoong nodded curtly and Seonghwa took a seat. “Won’t this be fun,” Seonghwa muttered.

“You’ve settled in well?” Hongjoong queried inquisitively.

You nodded, sipping the fruity drink Wooyoung had made for you. “Everyone has been very welcoming.”

“I bet,” Hongjoong said, eyes sliding back towards Seonghwa.

Seonghwa grinned devilishly. “If I had it my way, she’d be plump with peace babies as we speak.”

You choke on your beverage, spraying the table and yourself. Good thing there wasn’t any food yet. Seonghwa offered you a handkerchief and you snatched it from his hands rather rudely. Damn men and their egos needing to be stroked.

Hongjoong’s eyes were glittering brightly with malice. “Some things never change, I suppose.”

“Alright,” You said in a hoarse voice from choking, “My sex life, past or present, is not a dinner subject. Got it?”

Seonghwa ran a hand through his hair. “Understood.”

“You never did tell me why you are here, Joong?” You changed the subject. Seonghwa narrowed his eyes at the familiar shortening of your captain’s name.

“Oh, Seonghwa is used to me skulking about. I’m his unofficial supervisor. Everyone in the school board is terrified of him, so they send me to make sure he’s not using the school as a sacrificial lamb for a S-class summoning so he can take over the world,” Hongjoong said with a delighted grin.

“I’m too busy dealing with stupid student antics. I hardly can find the time to summon S-class demons to take over the world,” Seonghwa retorted, rearranging the cutlery in front of him.

“Wooyoung, what’s taking you so long?” You shouted, rethinking your life choices.

“I now have three perfect dinners to prepare!” Wooyoung yelled back from the kitchen.

After a few more minutes of crashing and banging and shouting, Wooyoung brought out three dishes. Seonghwa’s salmon still had its head attached, Hongjoong had a vegetarian dish and yours was burnt chicken souvlaki. 

"Wooyoung!" You frowned hard, "What's this?"

Wooyoung almost sneered. "It's what you're getting."

Seonghwa laughed but it was arrogant and not nice. "He cooks with his emotions. These are his emotions."

Your eyes shot up to Wooyoung. He won't look you in the eye. You feel guilty even though you're not sure you should. "Oh," was all you could manage.

Hongjoong scoffed under his breath when Wooyoung shot back to the kitchen. "I love visiting this town."

You turned towards Seonghwa. "Should we go?"

"Quite," Seonghwa drawled. He stood up, pulling the lapels to straighten his velvet jacket. He offered his arm to you.

Hongjoong rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. "Maybe I should get some rest. It's been a long day."

"We'll see you at school tomorrow," Seonghwa nodded curtly.

You were about to take Seonghwa’s arm when Hongjoong wrapped his hand around your wrist. "Lieutenant?" 

"Hongjoong…" You really didn't know what to say to him.

He smiled, tightly, "I'm sorry. Old habits truly die hard."

You felt your heart softening. "I'll see you tomorrow, Joong."

“What’s tomorrow?” You wondered after you were walking down the softly lit road back towards the Academy.

“Hongjoong has an announcement to make to the students,” Seonghwa revealed yet revealing nothing.

“Oooookaaayyyy,” You drew out, knowing Seonghwa wasn’t going to say another thing. You fumbled around until you pulled his handkerchief out of your pocket. “I should give this back to you.”

Seonghwa hummed, taking it and putting it in his vest pocket. “Are you going to tell me about him?” He said after a moment of silence. 

You sighed heavily. You knew Seonghwa was going to ask about Hongjoong even though he had no right to do so. Seonghwa side-eyed you from beside you. “I’ll tell you about the scar he gave me if you do.”

“Is this what we’re doing now?” You laughed, “Exchanging war stories?”

Seonghwa remained silent. He certainly wasn’t going to beg for it. It would be an equal opportunity exchange. If you wanted to know about his scars then you had to tell him about you and Hongjoong. It was up to you. He always left it up to you.

You rolled your eyes. “I don’t care about your scars, Seonghwa.”

Seonghwa pursed his lips, his only hint to frustration. “Indulge me.”

“When I got conscripted from school to the army, the war was in full swing. I was assigned to the Intelligence Corp immediately. Hongjoong was my captain. I grew feelings for him, for his ambition to move up in the army and his determination to put this war to an end as soon as possible. There was a mission, they asked me to not just simply peek into someone’s dreams, they wanted me to eat it, and in doing so, make them forget the memory completely.”

“Isn’t that against your code? To destroy?” Seonghwa offered.

You nodded. “Still, they said we had to set our code aside, it was a war after all. So I did it. Not soon after, the negotiations started up and when the war ended, I resigned. Hongjoong wasn’t happy with me but I wanted to leave the war far behind me. I took my war spoils and set up my family nicely. I got my teacher license and now I’m here.”

“Do you love him still?” Seonghwa asked.

You shook my head, “I left that behind when I left the army.”

“My turn I suppose,” Seonghwa kicked a rock with his polished loafers.

We just so happened to be in front of the school’s gates. “I’m still hungry,” You said truthfully.

“I could tell you over dinner,” Seonghwa suggested.

“Seonghwa…”

“No one needs to know,” Seonghwa proposed. “It could be me just checking in with my newest professor to see how she is adjusting to her life.”

“Over dinner? While you tell me a personal story? Seonghwa!”

Seonghwa combed a hand through his hair. “You have made it very clear that no one can ever know about this. I am doing my best. But you are wearing my patience, little white magic user.”

“Excuse you?” You demanded.

Seonghwa did not deem it important enough to explain himself further. “Will you or won’t you come to my rooms for dinner so that I may pay you back and tell you the story of my scars?”

“Well, you certainly make it hard to decline with a tasty offer like that,” You said with sarcasm coating your tongue.

You found yourself up against the brick pillars that held the black iron gates to the school. Seonghwa’s face was pulled into a snarl, with his hand precariously around your neck. You weren’t scared of Seonghwa, simply surprised at the moment. He had gone from slightly frustrated to a full on animal rage. Had he been hiding that the entire night?

“Hello, Reaper,” You cooed.

You watched as Seonghwa carefully packed away his dangerous side until his eyes simply burned brightly. He looked slightly bashful at his outburst. “It seems like you have a talent for bringing this out of me.”

“You better be a good cook because it’s going to take a hell of a dinner to apologize, Director Park.”

Seonghwa winced at the use of his formal title. He let go of you and allowed you to straighten your clothes. “Please, I prefer when you call me Seonghwa.”

You sent him a cool look, “Perhaps you’ll earn that title later. For now, you will remain as my boss. I don’t feel like you deserve to be called by that name right now.”

You walked into the school grounds, waving your hand and the gates recognized you as a teacher. They swung open and you sent a look over your shoulder. “Are you coming or am I going to have to cook for myself?”

Seonghwa looked towards the sky, whether for guidance or to send a prayer, you weren’t sure. “Coming, Lover.”

“Seonghwa!” You hissed.

He smiled, looking back like his charming self. “Thought you said you weren’t going to--oof!” You smacked his chest.

“Don’t push your luck.”

who are your SF9, MX, ONF, and ONEUS biases? I stan all of them <3

Sf9: Youngbinnie, hwiyoung, jaeyoon and chani I think 😭 they battle it out from time to time for 1st spot 💀

Mx: maybe Kihyun and minhyuk with a slight im sneaking in, I just remember I had a massive simp phase with kihyuk duo 💀

Onf: etion mk and Wyatt battle it out every week

Oneus: Ravn and seoho peacefully stay at 1st , hwanwoong is ready to sneak in after I watched weekly idol ep where he said he would be fine with sharing clothes with his s/o and saying he like over sized (I'm a fat @ss so this just made me go 👀👄👀👁👄👁👉👈)

DANGER ERA SANDWICH!! a little spicy ayy, omo >.< some bad boy D&E w/ their good little reader, protecting while also corrupting, a totally bad influence that broadens the reader's horizons in many, many ways T_T

Heh I'm a simp, this got my mind going, im barely getting into the shower and you give mE THESE THOUGHTS⁉️⁉️😭😭😭😭 bestie you trynna kill me 😩pls me and my friend jokingly connected all my suju dreams where it's basically a love square consisting of ryeowook and eunhae 💀 gonna be funny if another suju member just comes into my dreams like 'new challenger has appeared' 💀💀

Neck sprains T_T that's so not good!! is it from your job? I hope they don't hurt too much.

It's just a weird thing that happens to me 💀I think it's when I used my shoulder muscle too much or something and I just pull the neck from stress from the shoulder (it's hurts but I just have to wear a neck brace for a days then it should be okay)

My shoulder is fine now 😩 just was painful for a couple of days

Also, another dilf has fallen victim to my dilf agenda and idk what to do about it cuz he's older than leeteuk so it's dilf of dilfs of my dilf agenda 😭 you like old school kpop? Like h.o.t /sechskies era kpop? 😭😭

- 🍒

okay I'm gonna try this again lol. Desktop Tumblr keeps kicking me out constantly and I'm going to lose my mind at this rate. anyway

Hello my sweet 🍒! hope you are well!

Chani 🥺 (yes, I googled the emoji because nothing better expresses my love for him askjdlsf) Great picks, great taste, great biases! somehow, despite the sheer number of bands listed, we don't share any biases?? what are the odds lmfao. also mood af about Hwanwoong, you and me both, I fucking adore him T_T

I can't think of any other thoughts better for a shower hehe.

LOVE SQUARE!! Living your best y/n life omg. If more come in, it'll be a reverse harem akshjdfkg a new challenger lolol I'm invested tho, I'm rooting for another member to pop up, add a little more spice n drama to this soapie-esque dream series

oh gee, yeah, that makes sense. once you hurt one thing, it's a domino effect, especially if you have to favour it and therefore put extra strain elsewhere. let's both take a spa day and get some massages lmfao we deserve it

I'm glad your shoulder is better now! <3

I'm quaking bb DILF agenda? ? the DILF of DILFs>? I gotta know WHO

older guys are just... FINE AF! ahem, anyway, yes :) to a degree. I don't know the members as well though. And I don't listen to H.O.T very often. Well, except for Woohyuk's solo work (I love him T_T). I don't know Sechskies very well except for the occasion song here and there, tho I love... gosh, darn those scandals. I've adored Jaijin ever since I saw him in a certain show haha.

[jayflrt]

yes yes i finished my midterms :D i finished quite early compared to others because some of my friends are still having tests this week but i was lucky and finished them last week. BUT I STILL HAVENT HAD TIME TO READ DECEIT AND NOW I SEE SPIDER-JAKE IS OUT TOO i promise to read them soon

i agree that cb shows are more fun than award shows or year-end shows ajsjdjfjf i mean their only pro is the special performances idols put but cb shows are just generally are more fun. 127's shows per cb are the best imo they put a whole show its so entertaining. i think my favourite has to be the late punch punch show during punch era (are those considered cb shows idk but those ones are funny)

PLEASE the way you slandered sunghoon's round heart </3 but same my non-engene era was so interesting. but also not??? i didnt have anyone to "lead" me thru the dashers unlike with nct or tbz but i def did a lot of jumping around choosing a bias </3 i think my first enha exposure was the time they played foot volleyball in en o'clock and i noticed jungwon the most and i was like "omg stan????" and then when watching iland i was a super jay stan. when he shot up ranks i genuinely cried for him 😭 like i alr knew who got in the final lineup but i was still so emotionally invested

im looking for an A-line gown! i want to be a little dramatic since over half of my time in hs was during the pandemic 😭 i tried some dresses and i found a rly nice red one and another pink+black one but im still looking! i hope to find one soon 🙏

i hope your week has been slaying like always 😁

- 🌻

oh my gosh congrats on finishing midterms !!!! <33 i hope you get to relax a lot now 🥰💖 and that’s so nice to have finished them a week earlier omg 🤧 kinda same for me but the opposite ?? my friends all had their midterms last week but the rest of mine are coming up this week HAHAH :’) ALSO PLS NO RUSH TAKE YOUR TIME !! 💕

omg award shows used to be so fun with idols interacting and just having fun together 😔 it’s so upsetting how the surge in popularity with kpop has come with them needing to keep to themselves in fear of ruining their image/starting a dating scandal <//3 i suppose covid has to do with it as well but i miss all the group interactions 🤧 also i agree !! tbh nct just has such good comeback shows HAHAH they’re so entertaining and with content like 7llin in our youth and stuff 💓 I LOVED LATE PUNCH PUNCH SHOW LMFOAJDJF (and yes i do think those are considered comeback show content !!!)

i’m sorry sunghoon i appreciate your round heart now 😔 #roundheartsupremacy 💗 omg yeahh that was me for nct !! i sort of just stanned them on my own :’) WAIT SAME I CRIED FOR JAY 😭😭 i watched iland first and my attention had always been on jay and sunghoon, but i also considered biasing sunoo and jungwon too 🤧 sunoo caught my eye first actually!!

omg yes go all out !! 🥰🥰 i hope you have the time of your life omg like i didn’t think prom itself was all that ?? but the after parties were the night to remember 💘 omg have you found a dress by the time i post this ask :oo red sounds super pretty !! and are you gonna get your hair and makeup done too?

and thank you !! it’s been so weird bc this week has felt short but kinda long ?? i cant believe time is moving by so fast 😵‍💫 but i hope you’ve been doing well too and taking care !! ♡

[foxgloveinspace]

You asked for my notes, but I bet you didn’t think they’d be so long itd be under a readmore! (Or… it me and maybe you did expect that LMAO).

Foxglove’s VAXIS II notes:

1.both times I’ve listened to the opening song now I got shudders up and down my spine and legs. Very nice.

2.no notes, just vibes, really liked this one.

3.(I forgot to take notes from song three and song four oops. I was enjoying the listening too much to take notes)

-I thought with all the info I could find that i would be very lost when listening, cause even the wiki said it was vague, but I’m surprised to find that the music (especially since I can read the lyrics) is painting a very vivid picture of a small family on the run. But since this is a prequel, and I don’t know the rest for sure, I have a bad feeling that something will happen to the parents perhaps.

5.very story heavy (they all are but this one more so), is this like, awakening to powers? I’m assuming this kid has powers tbh. Gonna go with that.

-Cass, have you ever listened to STARSET?? I think you’d like them.

6.there’s a lot of tension between these two huh. Does one of them not believe that their son is a kid of prophecy perhaps? And this is their aftermath of his powers awakening maybe?

7.still just like, what I see happening I guess I’m not sure if I’m getting any of this right; so this is also the aftermath of song 5? The kids powers like, awoke, and then this is one of the parents pov after? The one who like, ‘knew’ the whole time that he was special. So they were better prepared for it. But I’m not sure whose pov it is oof.

-hmmmm. This is why I like listening to things in order LMAO. I’m greatly enjoying this despite not really knowing much. But maybe it’s better this way, cause I’ll get super invested in the story now😌.

8.hmmm, so they had a disagreement about the above? And now are trying to make it work by avoiding their disagreement?? Or perhaps keep lying about their kid and saying he’s not special?? Anyway I like this song a lot actually, outside of context too.

9.(oh this one started really cool!) ok I really like this song too, I guess this is supposed to be him trying to reassure her that he still loves her and will be what she needs him to be no matter what, or is it a reminder of who he is?? Either way, really like this song.

10.this song hurt me. It hurts.

11.they where trying to get somewhere but they where too late? Trying to get back to their home before something happened, and it happened before they could get there. Trying to fight destiny and losing?

12.I’m crying. This has hurt the Foxglove beyond repair.

13.bard vibes. (Oh his Name is Vaxis ok, that makes since). I’m not gonna go back and change my notes, but I’m guessing before it wasn’t awaking his powers but like… he was truly coherent for the first time or something?? Gosh, i might like, truly start crying. It’s so hard to make me actually shed tears. Also they didn’t argue about him being a kid with powers, I wonder if they where arguing about like. If it would be worth it to take him to the place they had to?? Freaking heck. This song is making me emotional.

-so im guessing his parents had to get him somewhere, but had to sacrifice themselves to get him where he needed to go. And now im crying.😭😭😭. A really good album, but it kinda felt like being taken to the last movie in a series with my older sister and getting wrecked emotionally, and she’s sitting over there like ‘I told you to read the books or watch the others before we came.’ But she’s also crying.

Anyway. Thanks for introducing me to this band, I’ll have to give everything else a listen now too when I’m not emotionally destroyed

Dying to know if you’ve listened to Vaxis II yet!

I’d love to know your thoughts if you have 🫶🏼

I hope you’ve had a splendid weekend!

I haven’t had the time sadly😭 I’ve been In Recovery™️ today from the overstimulating weekend I had (fun times, a lot of Car Time which I love, but I am exhausted now🫠). I’m planning on listening tomorrow I think, I’ll be home alone, and I can use the big tv with the good speaker that when I turn it up loud can be heard from the drive way!!

Edit, oops: I hope your weekend was really good too! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[lovesoakedd]

*gonna respond to both of the recent asks in one to fix my mistake oops*

honestly it was a whole lot of just sitting and getting frustrated because southwest kept moving the time and i was just so exhausted so like i was supposed to land by 10:15 but didn’t end up landing until 10:45 and didn’t get home till almost midnight but its ok! thankfully i was able to sleep in!

you’re actually such a sweetheart?? love how me giving you compliments makes you happy which is making me even happier you’re so :’) honestly made me smile so big wow, thank you!! <33

you should feel as confident as possible! you’re such a cool person and i’m actually obsessed with your energy so hope you know that hehe <3

oh my gosh!! you’re so cute properly citing titles…that just made you like 10000x more endearing if that was even possible pls :’)

i think what i enjoy most about theatre is sharing stores and making people feel something. im on the crew for my schools production of cabaret and hearing audiences reactions personally make such long days 6:45-11pm so much more enjoyable because without even realizing they’re hyping everyone that’s involved up. also so often in society we’re taught to bottle up our emotions and i believe all art forms but especially theatre can really encourage sometime to become in touch with themselves and i just think its really special so its why i’ve become so invested.

i really love himym! it’s definitely rom com energy but i really love the dynamics because its similar to new girl and im also a hopeless romantic so i can’t help but get invested super easily lol i started watching it over thanksgiving break and finished all 9 seasons in two weeks so i was definitely attached (but its really good and helps to be a distraction because it’s not something like heavy that you have to really pay attention to which i love)

omg wallows!! yes!! they just released their second album tell me that its over and if you end up listening to it i would absolutely LOVE to hear your thoughts :’)

i also have come to the realization i have a tendency to break things up into paragraphs so i apologize for making this so long but i’m really loving this conversation & hope you are as well <33

-💌

omg, I definitely understand, it must've been so frustrating to have it continuously lengthened, to the point where you got home at midnight of all things. like, that must've been so draining and tiring. I hope you got some really good rest tho!

omg?? omg?? thank you so much, I'm literally smiling rn from how extremely sweet you are. it really makes me so happy omg, knowing I give off such an impression and make you feel that way is such high praise, and I cherish every single word so, so much. thank you so much. you are so sweet omg and it's so touching how open you are of your thoughts, thank you so much. really means the world to me. and omg the fact that it made you smile is so sweet asdfghjkl I'm so glad it did

thank you so much! you also carry such a good energy too, you're so sweet and honest about your feelings, which I appreciate enormously. and LMAO for the citing titles, I am in way too many humanities classes to the point where it feels weird not to cite dkjdkfj 😭

oooh, can you tell me about Cabaret? what is it about? and you're absolutely right, theatre absolutely does an amazing job at executing stories and truly bringing them to life and stirring a feeling within people. I actually do really want to see more plays - there are several local theatres near my university, and I think it'd be amazing to support them and be able to see more of such a beautiful art form. and omg, yes, I can imagine how beautiful it feels to see the audience's reactions and see how they're so moved - it must make it feel so worth it then because you know how much it's impacting the people watching, all due to the team's hard work. oh, yeah, you're absolutely right - all different art forms carry the capacity to express so many emotions and questions and thoughts that exist internally. there's even this quote by Victor Huge that's: "Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." and I feel like it's like that in so many art forms - there are ways it can express emotions that can seem so difficult to describe. it really is so special, I'm so glad for you that you get to engage with something so fulfilling. and omg, now I'm inspired to write too fkjkfgj

oooh, okay, I love that romcom energy, I'm also such a hopeless romantic - it's so easy to get me in my feels with romance. what's New Girl about? omg, see, I'm so bad with keeping up with shows, but I miss binging a show because it was that good. and I have so many I want to start. and I feel you, it's like a comfort show that is light enough it won't, like, haunt people for days, haha

omg I absolutely will let you know if I listen to it!! <3

please don't apologize! I also like breaking things into paragraph, because then it's way easier to respond to different things we're speaking on, since it's all neatly divided, hehe. and me too omg I'm enjoying this conversation so much! and thank you, I am, just pushing through the first day of Ramadan fjfgjk how is your day going?
