more thoughts I have directed at us “American” settlers: Chilled to the bone in a lot of ways when it comes to assessing our, like… critical thinking skills. It’s dismal. Maybe it’s my autism struggling to make sense of something obvious to everyone else (likely) but

I’ve been spending this year boosting and sharing on Instagram from principled Palestinians, words of the martyrs (Basel Al-Araj, Nizar Banat, Kanafani, Refaat +), boosting Al Thawabet, boosting accounts who frequently get censored, boosting released updates from RNN, boosting the Palestinians and their accomplices who take time to expose grifters and normalizers and liberal Zionist infiltrator NGOs, boosting fundraisers etc etc. i screenshot nearly everything I see and share what I can.

I don’t have many followers, most are mutuals I’ve had for years and friends both IRL and online. A lot of us are indeed settlers in the “US”. I see these people (daily reach varies from 50-80) viewing my stories containing all these things, all this information, every single day. Some viewers are mutuals who view my stories (even when lengthy) every single day. Every single day. For a year’s time at least.

So for one example: They’ll watch my stories that expose an influencer or an NGO for normalization or for liberal Zionist agenda, imploring people to look at the facts and think critically when looking at these influencers/individuals/NGOs. They’ll see the words of the Palestinian people I’m boosting directly. Then, they’ll turn around and continue sharing from said NGO or influencer despite it. They’ll even share things that are blatantly against Al Thawabet, right after the stories I shared spell it out for them (and they viewed every story slide!). I’ve shared about normalization and Al Thawabet so so so many times, breaking it down, helping to emphasize it’s importance, helping to warn pro-Palestinian supporters who are not previously familiar not to ignore these principles nor to speak without knowledge. Yet the next day it seems they’ll continue on platforming grifters.

Then, when I DM them directly with a “hey, just so you’re aware— “they say “oh no! Sorry I had no idea, thank you”.

I am relieved that directly messaging them got them to really face it! I am glad to be able to tell each person a fact about normalization and have them be receptive and say they understand (will they investigate for themselves going forward or take it as a lesson to hone their critical thinking skills? Who knows smh)

Maybe it’s nit picky of me (which is why I’m just processing my confusion out loud here) but — what the fuck? Why are we like this? Why are we even giving so much time online on Instagram, tapping through stories of our mutuals, if we aren’t… like, reading what the stories say??? What’s the point of speaking up for Palestine if you’re going to ignore people speaking up for Palestine? If you’re going to ignore Al Thawabet? If you’re not going to bother educating yourself?

A mutual admitted to me: they just didn’t check to see what account was posting the information before resharing (it was a lib Zio normalizer NGO account). They platformed an NGO that has had calls all year to be deplatformed in Palestinian liberation by Palestinians who follow Al Thawabet and do not fuck with normalizers. They did this despite seeing my stories every single day this year that boosted this information to them from said principled actionists and educators.

People can’t just start thinking about what they’re reading? Do people use IG for… idk, what?! Communication? Reading? Do they not actually look at what their mutuals share? Do they just aimlessly tap through every single day for no reason other than to tap tap tap tap tap tap???

Do I seriously have to DM every single individual settler I know? I’ll do it if that’s the way (I am clueless rn). But does it come to that, truly??

#rant sorry #we settlers are fucked up #I do attribute this for now as a settler thing cus we tend not to give care to fucking ANYTHING #it is shameful #more shit I’m trying to understand and work against #I feel like Mo Howard trying to slap the fellow stooges out of it 😒#but seriously #critical thinking

Okay so firstly I love ur writing so keep up the good work and now for the request can I have “I’d punch you, but that’d ruin that pretty little face of yours.” with smoker if u write for him. No pressure tho feel free to ignore >.<

Thank you <3 I am doing my best! I have never written for Smoker so it's a little short compared to most prompts I do and I worry I made him OOC but please enjoy.

Smoker x GN Reader SFW Word Count: 480

When Tashigi asked you to cover for her you didn’t think it was going to be a problem, she was a wonderful person and a good friend to you, honestly, she deserved a vacation with how hard she’d been working. Things had been relatively calm so far, it was mostly just babysitting Smoker, for someone as put together as him he needed to be reminded to eat and drink more than coffee.

It was day four before you realised how much Tashigi actually did for this man, he could be to put it nicely exhausting. The number of times you’d witness him hanging up on the higher ups when he didn’t like what they had to say blew your mind. He’d sit there and carry on reading his paper like he hadn’t in as few words as he possible told someone to fuck off and you sort of admired that about him.

Following him down the street you began reading off his duties before he paused, letting a stream of smoke spill into the air, he offered you his hand and you just stared at it for a moment. “Wanna hold hands? That’s a bit forward sir” You tried to crack and joke; he sighed and once again made a ‘give me’ gesture to which you realised he meant he wanted the papers.

“I’ll see which of these jobs are important myself” You rolled your eyes at his attitude, looking over each printed page, eyes scanning down them, it was obvious he was simply skimming them for important words, paying no attention to the nit-picky parts. Then much to your great annoyance he started to toss some of the sheets behind him, balled up with no concerns, of course he expected you to deal with that. You shot him a look as he actually read the last piece. You crouched down and picked up the little balls of paper stuffing them into your coat pockets.

Smoker decided the last sheet should join the others, balling it up, tossing it and it hit you in the head. You stood up, throwing the paper ball at his face with a glare. “I’d punch you, but that’d ruin that pretty little face of yours.” You placed your hands on your hips just frowning up at the much taller man.

Your resolve wavered for a moment when he turned his attention to you fully, maybe throwing the paper at him hadn’t been the best move you’d ever made in your career. “You think I’m handsome?”

“I’m sorry what” You blinked, jaw hanging open.

“I’m hungry and it’s lunch time, I’ll pay” The huge mountain of a man just rubbed his chin in thought. For a minute you thought you’d misheard him but when you really considered the situation it made sense he’d take you out on company time just to piss off the bosses.

Hi! Real question. Not being snarky. Why does it take MONTHS for editor/publishing contracts to be done? What are the agents and editors actually doing?

I mean we'd all love it to be faster. The bottleneck is not generally happening with agents and editors.

Here's how it goes. (Picking numbers absolutely out of thin air, I have no idea what the actual numbers would be and I imagine it varies!):

You have a publishing house, right? In the kids division, let's say there are six imprints, with six to ten editors each. There are new book acquisitions weekly for sure, probably multiple, at each imprint. Let's say 1-2 books gets through acquisitions at each imprint every week, so between 6-12 new books across the board. We'll aim high and assume 12 new books get offers, which some are accepted some are not, and say they end up moving forward with 8 new books per week across these 6 imprints.

First -- before accepting! -- the editor and agent negotiate a deal memo (this is the basic thing that says all the "big picture" terms such as advance, royalties, etc.). Sometimes things have to be approved by the financial folks, etc. Once the deal memo is complete and we have officially accepted the offer, the editor sends all the paperwork to the contracts department. It is now out of both of our hands.

The "contracts department" may consist of like... two people, and an utterly overwhelmed assistant. They are SWAMPED. They are DYING. They are, I have to assume, trapped in windowless cells doing a painstaking job that requires lots of attention to detail and is utterly thankless and probably getting yelled at by assholes all the time. (I'm so sorry, contracts people, I LOVE YOU, and I don't thank you ENOUGH! You should all get raises!)

So each contract takes time to draft. They can be 20, 25, 30 pages long (or longer!). Each agency does have their own "boilerplate" which at least gives them a place to start so they aren't reinventing the wheel every time, but each book deal does have its own terms (as outlined in the Deal Memo) and there are new terms and bits of wording being changed and asked for all the time -- for agencies like mine, with a lot of business at certain publishers, the contracts people and the agents are basically in a constant conversation, making sure that new terms are being carried over properly, etc etc. It's a nit-picky thing, they are comparing multiple contracts with one another at a granular level, it just takes a long time. No I don't know how long - but I know it takes ME hours to even read them, so I would imagine it's at least a solid half-day with no interruptions to draft them.

Once the contract is drafted, it gets sent to the agent, who carefully reads it and makes notes, those notes get sent back to the contracts person, who carefully reads them and responds, there may be a little more back and forth, finally we get a final contract that can be signed.

(This whole process might, in a fast world, take 1-2 weeks, because the agent ALSO has a queue of things and needs a solid half-a-day to do the notes, and when the notes get back to the contracts person, they go into the notes queue, then the agent needs to re-read the final version, etc. But it could for sure take longer than that. I would not be surprised if it took a month just for a normal contract with all the back-and-forth, and if there are significant changes being asked for, it might literally take months as each side has to get lawyers and such involved to make sure the wording makes sense, etc. This is pretty rare but it DOES happen.)

So back to our bottleneck. The big number of editors filter a ton of submissions into 8 books that are moving forward, those 8 books get filtered to 2 contracts people -- each of those contracts people might be able to realistically do, say, 2 draft contracts per week and 2 notes/final contracts per week. One of them went on vacation once, and both of them have had COVID this year, so unfortunately they are always backed up, and can never actually catch up, because there are more coming in every week than they can possibly do and there's already a queue.

So... That's why contracts take so long. Sorry. Everyone is doing their best, I promise.

tour troubles | jjk

genre: fluff, angst

rating: G (no swearing or sexual content)

pairing: Jungkook x reader

theme: idol!au, boyfriend!au, one-shot

word count: 1.8k

warnings: none

Synopsis: When surprising your boyfriend Jungkook on tour doesn’t quite go as you planned, it’s up to you now to help cheer him up.

banner by me!

--♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡--

After a grueling 6 months apart, you were more than happy to be in MetLife Stadium watching your boyfriend live out his dreams on stage. The Map of the Soul Tour was no joke; Jungkook was practicing all day and performing all night, and combined with your final exam season passing by it left little time for you to talk to each other.

Finally wrapping up the school year, you got in touch with Jimin to see if he could help you plan a surprise visit for Jungkook on one of their final tour stops.

All of the members had become like family to you, but it's no secret that aside from Jungkook you are closest with Jimin. He was like the older brother you never had, and you always ran to him whenever you needed relationship advice or a good hug.

As you watched Jungkook on stage you noticed his smile falter sometimes as he would be slightly out of position or dance off beat. You could only pick this out because you had spent hours in the practice room dancing with Jungkook.

You and Jungkook had come together because of your shared love for dance. He had first asked you out inside a very sweaty-scented Big Hit practice room, almost half of your dates ended with some form of dancing, and whenever one of you was frustrated you could always find the other teary-eyed, lying on the marley floor of a dance studio. You had always been there to whisper words of encouragement in his ear when he was feeling down, and you wished nothing more than for her voice to reach the stage at the moment.

Soon enough, the concert came to an end and you were flashing her pass to the backstage security guard to get to see the boys. Despite your uneasy feeling watching the concert, you couldn't ease the butterflies in your stomach at seeing your boyfriend for the first time in months.

Ever since you had planned this, you spent your nights imagining exactly how Jungkook would react: whether he would hug and kiss you first, stay frozen on the spot in shock, or start crying right away.

As you stepped into the Big Hit dressing room, you were instantly greeted with several smiling faces.

I didn't take you long to do a head count and realize that there were only 6 boys standing in front of you, and that your boyfriend was nowhere to be found.

Making eye contact with Jimin, you saw the softness in his eyes as he motioned for you to come closer so he could explain.

“He’s not feeling well Y/N, and none of us can get him to talk about it. We’re so worried. I swear I’ve only gotten like 2 words out of him tonight, and I even tried to make a nutella sandwich for him to cheer him up. I’m sorry this isn’t what you had planned, but can you talk to him please? For us?”

You took a deep breath before pulling back the curtain divider in the dressing room. Your nerves catching up to you, you considered just turning around and telling the boys you would surprise him at their next concert instead.

You had dealt with Jungkook being troubled and frustrated more times than you could count, but you were worried you had lost her touch after being apart from him for months.

Your mind also flew the other way. How many times has he felt like this after a concert and never told you? When he said "It was fun I'm just really tired now" after every concert was he truly feeling like this?

With that, you pushed forward because you knew that you had to be there to support Jungkook today, even if you couldn't be there for all the other times.

The sight that greeted you behind the curtain was not a pretty one.

Jungkook was staring blankly at the monitor in front of him, dark fringes of his hair matted against his sweaty forehead, tour hoodie zipped up completely with the hood on, and worst of all, his eyes were clearly puffy and swollen, with tinges of red coming through from underneath his makeup.

Jungkook barely even glanced your way as you sat down an ample distance away from Jungkook on the couch. It was clear from his lack of surprise at your appearance that one of the boys (probably Jimin) had probably told him about your surprise visit earlier in an effort to cheer him up after the concert, but even that could not get him out of this slump.

Of all the scenarios you came up with for how Jungkook would react to your surprise, somehow this one never crossed your mind.

You turned your focus to where Jungkook was staring - a TV monitor replaying video footage from tonight's concert. You watched as his eyebrows stayed furrowed as he glared disapprovingly at himself for making even the smallest of mistakes in the video, almost wincing as the TV monitor continued to play the footage.

"Do you want me to help point out things in the video?"

Jungkook didn’t even move a muscle.

You took the silence as a yes, and pulled a pen and the closest thing you could find to paper, a napkin, out of your purse to write on.

Working as a dance teacher had taught you more than a couple tricks about how to give constructive feedback, and you were a firm believer in the "give 2 compliments and then 1 thing to work on" approach. However, you knew the issue with Jungkook wasn't that he was truly bad at dancing, but rather that he was way too hard on himself for the smallest details that the audience wouldn't even notice - so she threw in a few more compliments than usual. Unsure of how Jungkook would react to seeing the list, you still threw some of those very nit-picky details on there, knowing that if he was still frustrated he would throw the list out all together if he thought you were just coddling him.

And so you both sat together in front of that grainy TV monitor, in complete silence aside from the sound of your pen scratching against the napkin.

June 10, 2020 MOTS:7 Tour Feedback Report for Jeon Jungkook ( by Y/N)

- match angle of arm placement in Black Swan Opening Choreo

- footwork on DNA ending choreo could be cleaned up

- the ARMY at the corner of the screen during Euphoria had the biggest smile when you looked at her. I think she’s gonna remember that moment for the rest of her life.

- I like the way you wink at the camera during So What! Gave me butterflies babe.

- could add more energy into the last Fake love chorus ( hot bod btw!!)

And the list kept going on and on as you diligently focused on the screen and writing notes, taking occasional glances at your silent boyfriend.

Upon glancing over your shoulder and seeing your list, Jungkook smiled at your thoughtful and sweet comments.

All of sudden, a wave of consciousness and realization washed over him.

He finally has the girl he loves in front of him again after months apart, and instead of cherishing his limited time with you he was spending it watching himself dance, which is what he had already spent the last 9 years of his life doing. Most of all, you never let your smile falter once in front of him, even though he knew you may be upset with his response to your surprise, and you went along with whatever he wanted to do - even if that meant watching a very very low-quality video of his performances on a loop.

Grabbing the napkin gently out of her hands and placing it on the table, Jungkook cupped your face and looked gently into your eyes.

"Thank you", he said softly, as if not wanting to startle you with his sudden character change.

In your head there was absolutely no need for Jungkook to be thanking her for anything she was doing. She knew dating an idol would have its challenges, and she made a promise to Jungkook that she would be by his side through it all, even if that included rewatching Euphoria on loop.

It was now your turn to sigh.

“There’s nothing to thank me for babe, it’s just me. I wanna be here for you when you’re like this - I didn’t just date you so I could be there to celebrate your Billboard #1s and daesang sweeps, I’m here for these moments too.”

Jungkook further eliminated the space between you both by wrapping his arms around you and pulling you into his chest. In that moment he realized that maybe all he needed was you. That all these hurdles he had been facing alone would have been much easier if he had just let you in on his problems.

“I just feel bad Y/N, I haven’t even seen you for months and the first time I see you I’m like this? I’m sorry.”

The gears started turning in your head. Batting your eyes overdramatically at your boyfriend, you smiled.

“Okay how about we make a deal then babe?”

Jungkook looked at you curiously and let you carry on.

“From now on, every time you feel like this you come to me okay? We can figure this out together, but I can’t help you if you don’t let me in,” you expressed, grabbing his hands in yours.

“Also, if you felt like making it up to me you could buy me some ice cream? It’s not the same when I eat it without you,” you joked.

Jungkook’s melodic laugh vibrated through the room.

“Just ice cream? You’re selling yourself short babe. I’d buy the whole world for you, my love.”

--♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡--

As you emerged from behind the curtained section of the dressing room, hand in hand with a smiley Jungkook ( a stark comparison from how he was a mere hour early), you were greeted with Jimin jumping up and cheering loudly upon seeing the maknae.

Unable to contain his excitement, Jimin ran towards the two of you, chiming “you did it Y/N!! You brought back our maknae!”

“Good to see you smiling, Jungkookie,” beamed Jimin as he stepped forward to ruffle Jungkook’s hair.

Jungkook chuckled and looked up at his hyungs.

“I think I owe you all some ice cream. Ready to go? It’ll be treat.”

If his hyungs weren’t already excited to see Jungkook feeling like himself, now they were ecstatic. And you definitely felt the same way as well. ♡

Hey! I'm new here and I read your contents and it's really good^_^. can you please do a match up for me with male character from Naruto and haikyuu please?

I'm 20 years old, female. I have virgo-sun (leo-venus, libra-marcury, mars-capricorn if needed).I'm a total book- warm, introvert and practical person and have a positive attitude. Mentally mature more than my actual age (people says) and kind of serious but goofy around my friends. I'm independent, very humble, soft-spoken, intuitive, sensitive, sarcastic, detail-oriented ,a quick learner, natural problem solver but critical at times, good adviser,analytical, very straightforward(doesnt like sugarcoating things), smart and clever but kinda lazy, determined and to be honest I'm insecure but no one can figure that out till now:-) My dressing sense is simple but elegant.

When someone first meet me, they may think of me as someone cold, arrogant, mysterious, distant and rude but that's because I'm a shy and anxious person and I take lotsss of time to open up to people. That says I never open up to people easily because I'm nit-picky, very cautious, very observant of everything around me. But when I do open up to a person, I would become completely a different person. Then open minded, friendly, understanding,caring, patience, kind and gentle, empathetic (I understand others feelings easily), great motivator, very helpful (always there for help) and supportive, protective over my loved ones. I doesn't fall for someone so quickly or easily but when I do, I tend to give my all to that person. Usually I'm calm and easy-going person but I have high standards (for me and others too) so when someone didn't reach that level, it irritates me sometimes.

When I do a work ,I do it perfectly (perfectionism here-).

I'm not good at expressing my feelings. Actually I am a master at hiding my emotions:->. In a relationship I will be very loyal and reliable person. I can cook but I would really adore if he can cook too so we can do it together and also doing chores together, deep-long night conversations , slow dancing, helping each other with everything, watching anime together. I'm a peace-loving person so I tend to ignore arguments as much as possible, doesn't like childish or useless arguments.

My hobbies are reading (that says I also prefer someone who loves to read too so we can read together), likes playing instruments, researching on various things, art and music.

I like nature walking, traveling, rainy days, listening to music, star gazing, snow fall, books ( library dates)o(〃＾▽＾〃)o, like dogs, tea over coffee also I prefer healthy foods.

My love language is acts of service.

I'm so sorry if it's too long. I hope you are doing well and also take care. Thank you very much!

I’m so sorry for this taking way longer than expected! I know this had been sitting in my ask box for some time, but since I opened up match ups the 16th till the 23rd so THEY ARE CLOSED NOW PEOPLE, but all that matters is that I’ll answer it now!

Okay ngl, this was a bit hard. Not in the sense that didn’t know who, but that I had a lot of options that were a bit contradicting each other. So let’s talk about Haikyu first! I recently watched season 4, actually that was a lie it wasn’t recent it was back in October so that means season 4 characters to some extent can now be asked for! Meaning, for this one I’m going to pair you up with a season 4 character, Shinsuke Kita!

Okay it was a mix between Kita or Kuroo because both seemed very similar and appropriate, but I figured Kita because you have similar personalities. The MAIN reason was because of all the domestic things you mentioned you wanted to do together and I figured Kita would also enjoy things like that. When I saw Kita, his personality was a bit bland but also interesting. He made a routine and was straight forward. His confidence factor was the most interesting thing because it wasn’t an ‘haha I so better” it was a “I know my worth and I know that I’ve worked hard to get here.” The fact that this was his first game was WACK to me okay, like I was super confused because he was strong mentally and physically. Like Kita, he’d understand when you’re unable to express your feelings. Like with Atsumu, he told him to go home and had a bag full of food for him behind prying eyes. He cares and rather show it in a close, personal, and private way. He doesn’t seem to enjoy making a spectacle, he’s a private guy. I don’t think you’ll have any pointless arguments with him, I do think he’d make time to plan dates and other events ahead of time, and overall he meets high expectations. I honestly don’t think I would be good enough for Kita, but you’re perfect for him! Outside people will assume you’re bland or just an odd couple that doesn’t listen to doesn’t click together, but when you’re all alone together I think that where you guys are most expressive. You’ll converse greatly and express what needs to be expressed, great motivators for one another, and the both of you will face challenge and go for the better option.

For Naruto, it was between Neji and Itachi. I love both so much but I say Itachi would be best for you! Neji would have pointless arguments and I know this for a fact. Itachi would be mindful of what you have to say and act based on it. He’d actually listen and coordinate his acts on them instead of listening and acting dumb later on. He’d be quick to pick up signals, make quick work of any issues, he’s domestic, a great listener, and best of all, he’s gentle. He isn’t a rough or tough lover, he’s gentle. He’s literally the perfect person to exist, he can cook, sacrificed a lot for his brother, became the one everyone hated and carried on a tough burden because he wanted others to live a peaceful life. Your relationship would be sweet, it doesn’t need to be planned but he’d take you out to places, he’d probably do breakfast in bed, would make anything you desire, gladly help out with chores, would be very affectionate like hugging/cuddling in silence or while sleeping. I see you reading with him or him to you while you’re on his lap in a nice comfy seat. It’s a nice tranquil lifestyle that he hopes for and one that you deserve!

i hate to say it i do not like marvels what if so far i was so looking forward to it and just not enjoying it i mean

A. for obvious reasons i dont like captain Britain

B. the animation feels weird like video gamey like i dont know how to explain it without it being really long winded i mean it could of looked like spider-verse but it just falls sort of flat

C. the characters dont look like the people who play them in a weird way like steve does not look like steve im sorry it freaks me out bcs the whole time im like who is that man thats not steve i think they tried to make them just a little cartoony and missed the mark i guess thats another issue with the animation

D. this is a dumb nit pick but when buckys all are you the queen of england just toatlly broke what little emersion i had bcs there wasnt a queen of England in the 40s and its just kind of weird hed say that ( also why is bucky wearing his howling commandos costume when he says that bcs it literally wouldnt have existed yet its just strange)

E: the characters dont feel like themselves i just felt strangely disconnected to them in a writing sense like some of the things im like peggy wouldnt do that thats not how she fights etc etc

F: the voiced lines where kind of over the top sometimes it just felt weird

G. it just felt very checklisty like they were trying to get from A to B and i honestly think thats where all my problems stem from it just feels like a means to an end and there just trying to set up things for the audience

but i do honestly think it is going to pick up from here bcs i was mainly being quite nit picky bcs its captain Britain/carter and im not a fan of in the slightest of that character but you know if you do like what if thats cool i mean i get why you would its a really cool concept and im really looking forward to the zombie episode

#marvel #marvel what if #what if #what if...?#marvels what if...?#what if...? hate #i mean i dont hate it i just dont like it but thats probably the tag ppl will look out for #captain britain #captain carter #captain carter hate

Some observations 💫✨

• Capricorns (especially Cap suns) are extremely protective and defensive of their siblings and close friends.

• Leo influence gives individuals a heightened sense of perfectionism.

• Taurus generally have a very pleasing and dependable vibe to them even if they aren’t the nicest people.

• Gemini’s tend to have very lean bodies. The ones I’ve encountered are naturally very slender and tend to be towards the lankier side.

• Virgos can be very opinionated. It’s either their way or no way.

• Aquarians are blessed with pretty eyes omg they always have that sparkle and look otherworldly. Same goes for Pisces.

• Sagittarius can dish it but cannot take it.

• Libras like Taurus are so aesthetically pleasing. Libras along w Gemini’s are blessed with pretty lips.

• I’ve found that Sidereal astrology can be a lot descriptive and give further answers to an individual’s personality due to its varied yet rigid approach. However, it can be difficult to study thoroughly unless you’ve been doing that since the beginning.

• Aries suns love debating for fun.

• You’re likely to attract a lot of people of the same sign as your moon.

• Cancers are very emotional even if they don’t wanna admit it. Can also be quite manipulative if we’re being honest...

• Scorpios tend to be very honest but not in a way that Sagittarius’ or Virgos are, they’d likely expose something of yours that is hidden or unbeknownst to you. Very good at making judgments too tbh.

• If you want someone to give you good and realistic advice, I’d say go to someone who shares your mercury, moon or to a lesser degree, mars sign. They’d get where you’re coming from far easier.

• Lilith’s influence especially if it aspects your sun/moon/rising can make you quite self-destructive. Lilith really does intensify your life on a larger scale if it’s placed in a cadent house.

• Capricorns and Aquarians tend to be very good at teaching.

• Leos love being in relationships even if the person isn’t good for them. I think they like the attention that their partner provides them so in return they stay.

• Earth moons can be nit picky and brutally honest at times.

• Fire moons tend to be quite hardworking and resilient. They really possess the drive to keep moving forward.

• Libra moons tend to embody the perfect child that their parents want them to be.

• Your moon sign can also indicate how your parents view you.

• Aries influenced individuals have incredible personal style. I know style is subjective, but their outfits are always on point.

P.S : These are just my experiences and how I’ve observed the people with these signs around me. If you found that these are wrong or that I’m generalizing, then I’m really sorry.

How do u feel about this season in comparison to S2? In terms of pacing, plot holes, character arcs, etc? A lot of people say that with the way the show runner from S2 (one who many fans do not seem to like the way she handled the last season) left this season’s show runner (Suzanne something...? I forget her name sorry) with a lot of work to do and a lot of ground to cover in terms of storytelling

I am liking the pace of season three, I don’t love all the time we are spending with other characters (Konstantin, Carolyn, Kenny) this season, but I am gonna reserve my full judgement till after the season finale. Those scenes are probably doing a lot of plot work we can’t see the outcome of yet.

I had my doubts after the first episode, but I made a rule when watching new episode of Killing Eve, wait like 24 hours before I bag on it. It’s always so jarring to get new content. It takes a while to sink in, but three eps in I really like season three, it is a combo of two’s tone and one’s attention to plot.

Emerald (writer for S2) rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, mainly in interviews post season 2. I don’t hate how she handled the characters in season 2, or eve and v’s relationship, my gripe with her is her lack of attention to the broader plot of the show and her season’s own plot. Season 2 feels like a detour, Killing Eve has always said it’s a character show first, but that character work becomes so much stronger with a solid plot. Like have they mentioned The Ghost, Raymond or Peel since s2? Nope, cause they don’t matter. (Raymond’s death obviously has massive implications for V & E, but not on the larger plot). In this episode we saw Suzanne pull up stuff from season 1 to forward the plot with the Twelve and that makes me excited.

I hate plot holes with a mighty passion. Can’t really pick on Suzanne for any yet. But in s2 the whole Nada Peele thing didn’t make sense. And it’s not technically a plot hole but she sidelined The Ghost. Which for Eve was such an interesting narrative foil, in the same way they tried to contrast Aaron Peel and Villanelle.

I think Emerald had a pacing problem – and this is getting nit-picky, but you asked. The tail end of season 2 crams in so much story while the first half was all about the ghost and Villanelle & Eve’s reunion is a little illogical. Even though I live for them working together, idk if it was completely justified by her plot.

As for handing over seasons, I think all the showrunners Phoebe included are guilty of blowing things up for their big finale and walking off. Phoebe gets a pass cause she probably didn’t know there was gonna be another season. But both her and Emerald had Villanelle set loose with no Twelve and no Konstantin, Eve fired from MI6. So that the first episodes at least of season 2 & 3 are just spent establishing those points, the plot struggles to progress without Villanelle killing for someone and Eve working for Carolyn. I think Suzanne did a neater job of putting it back together, even if it did cost us Kenny.

Suzanne is world building. Emerald played in Phoebe’s sandbox with her characters. You can tell she’s actually thinking about who the Twelve are, what they want. The Twelve are not super interesting, they are an omnipresent, big bad. Not really my kind of foe but it’s that kind of force that would push Villanelle and Eve on the same side, fighting a greater evil.

Unluck of the Irish | Julie & Bea

@beatrice-blaze

Julie kept arguing with the bartender ushering them out of the bar, completely angry with how he was kicking them out because of something that Julie took no responsibility for but just because she was the loudest, it meant she had to leave. And Beatrice. Surely she understood how unfair it was!

“I’m gonna come back when you’re off work and kick your ass,” Julie threatened him as she stepped out to which he just scoffed and rolled his eyes. Julie didn’t exactly look the most threatening. Average height, slim figure. No way any man over 6ft and went to the gym once a week would ever be threatened by. Little did they know…

“That was totally unfair, wasn’t it?” She turned to Beatrice. They were having a nice time prior to that, weren’t they? Julie was always a good time. Especially to pretty women and Beatrice was definitely a pretty woman.

Bea could say with certainty, she had never been kicked out of a bar before. She had watched her sister be kicked out of bars, but she had never been involved herself. Julie was really pretty and in a way fun to hang out with, but she had to admit that this all was a bit much. Still she nodded towards Julie in support,“Yeah, totally unnecessary. There are people who are being as loud.” She looked around them, not sure what to do now that they were outside of Dell’s,“Should we find another place to get drinks then?”

“I swear some of these people just have it out for me.” Julie said with a shake of her head. Stupid bars. At least she wasn’t banned though. They were understanding in that sense. They had been drinking for a while before getting kicked however, so Julie wasn’t sure if she wanted to go to another bar. She didn’t want to get drunk. “Maybe we can go back to your place for drinks?” Julie suggested glancing over at Bea, trying to hide her smirk.

“Some people just get so nit-picky when they drink,” Bea tried to reassure Julie. She didn’t want Julie to get any more upset than she already was. This other woman was feisty and Bea wasn’t used to less fierce than someone she was out with. It was an odd feeling honestly. “Uh, my sisters live with me, so I don’t usually have people over… Could we go to yours?” She could do what she did with Dario and get a hotel room for the night. Or try to sneak Julie into the house… As she contemplated their next move, she heard clicking and whistling nearby. “Do you hear that too?”

I don’t have a place. Julie sure wasn’t going to admit that just yet (if ever). “I’m sure it’ll be fine. It’s just drinks.” She tried to reassure but then heard a sound. She turned around, trying to make sense of where it was coming from. “Yeah… what - what is that?” A bird? Not like any bird she’s heard and given her time in the woods, she’s heard a lot of them. Just when she was distracted by the sound and looking up to see if she could spot anything, she felt something pass by them. As she glanced down she saw a green blur.

Bea tried to look around for the mysterious sound without looking too alarmed. There were too many things in this town that could be dangerous, especially at a time like this. Had she not been looking for something she would have completely missed the blur that went by her. Glancing down she noticed quickly that her gold bracelet was gone. That bangle was one she wore to match her sisters, a charm on each to tell the sisters if someone was on their property. “No!” She let out as she took off after the blur. “Give me my bracelet back!”

Before Julie could process something happened, Bea was running and Julie had to go running after her because what the hell was happening? Her bracelet? Stolen by some green things. Well, this night was taking a different path than she had thought it would. As the creature seemed to be heading into the forest, Julie took greater strides, knowing it was more likely to end up getting away if they got too deep into the forest. She leapt forward and managed to grab onto something. A small body and when she looked up and was eye to eye with some big headed creature. “Ugh you’re ugly.” It wasted no time biting her hand and she pulled it back as she yelped in pain. It continued taking off. “You big headed fuck!” She growled and continued running, pissed off.

Julie was fast, Bea noticed with wide eyes. She had no idea what these things were but she knew that she needed to get her bracelet back. Her mom could make a new one for her, but this had meaning, she had gotten them with her sisters. “What is that?” She asked rather shocked at the appearance of the thing. She pushed herself to catch up with Julie. “I’m sorry! It stole my bracelet and it’s really important!” She felt terrible that she had dragged Julie into whatever this was, but she needed that bracelet back. “I guess this is a good time to ask if you know about the supernatural?”

Julie had to laugh at Bea asking her about the supernatural at a time like this. She looked over at her. “No, it’s my first time.” She couldn’t resist and gave her a wink. Alright, it seemed they couldn’t beat it though sheer speed. Julie was starting to wind down, her sprint losing speed. “We’ll get the bracelet back don’t worry. But it won’t be until after I stomp on those green little shits.” She hadn’t a clue what they were but knew they were pests. While it would have been easy to conjure some shadow from the ground to grab whatever it was and get the bracelet back safely, she knew better than to use her abilities around someone she couldn’t trust. There was one too many people who knew what she could do right now. But if they continued to be annoying, she might just have to.

For a moment, Bea was worried she would have to explain the whole thing about supernatural creatures until she caught Julie’s wink. She let out a soft laugh at it. It was nice that Julie could still tease her even though they were chasing some awful creature through the town now. Bea was tempted to send out a little fireball at the creature’s head, she wasn’t sure she should around Julie. There was still a witch hunter around somewhere and she didn’t know who was willing to work for her. “My knight in shining armor,” Bea said with a little laugh. The creature was so fast and Bea was not gaining on them much. She supposed she could try some more simple magic and see if that would trip up the thing. It was much more subtle than her fire magic would be. With a little mutter under her breath, she tried a spell she had been taught as a kid. The fae tripped on the invisible force she had made, which let the two women start to close the distance.

It tripped! Julie didn’t see what it tripped on but that gave her the confidence to go faster. It was so close now, not close enough to reach out and grab but if she kicked off at the right time with the right speed and strength… there! She leapt out to grab the thing like it was a damn ball gripping it with both hands and pulling it close as she rolled onto the ground. Oof, that hurt a bit. She gritted her teeth as she sat up, the thing was biting and scratching at her but she wouldn’t let go. “Oh, you little shit.” She leaned forward and took a bite herself, causing the thing to screech and drop the bracelet. Julie felt it drop on her lap and let go, throwing it off to the side. Spitting, she picked it up, and held it out to Bea. “Please tell me this is it.”

Bea watched, fascinated as Julie sprinted and rolled while grabbing the thing. She would have never done that, too worried about how much it would hurt coming out of the roll. “Holy crap,” She whispered as she watched Julie bite the thief. She supposed that that worked, but again, it would have never been her course of action. Pausing in front of Julie, she watched as the thief ran away from them, apparently over the whole chase. Nodding, she grinned,“Yes. That is.” She took it from Julia and slipped it on,“It’s priceless and it matches with my sisters. I couldn’t lose it, you know?”

Julie got up, panting. Why did she put that much effort over a stupid bracelet? Maybe there were ulterior motives… or maybe Julie just cared that much for family mementos. Pftt. “So,” she said once she got her breathing under control. “You’re welcome, by the way. I not only tackled that shit down but I bit him. Tasted it in my mouth and everything. I don’t think anything will wash that taste out now.” She spit off to the side before looking back at Bea. “Am I gonna get a thank you?” She teased, brow raised, wondering just how Bea was going to thank her for retrieving this priceless gift of much importance. Julie had her own idea of how Bea could do it.

“Oh, sorry!” Bea hurried to say,“Thank you. It just is like… It isn’t just a bracelet.” It was the literal key to their home and anyone who wore it would be able to get into her house and even her room. If she had lost it and someone had figured out what it was… She didn’t want to think about how hard it would be to get it back or make sure they couldn’t get into the house. While she wanted to sweep Julie off her feet and show her a good time, the adrenaline of the situation was draining and now she felt drained. “Can I rain check the thank you? Not going to lie, running after drinks kind of made me not feel the best.”

Julie was about to say something, about to cuss her out for having her go through all this shit and she wasn’t even going to get an invite back to her place. She sighed and gave a shrug. “Sure, rain check.” Whatever the fuck that meant. She looked around, getting a sense of her environment, figuring out where to go to get home or get another a drink. Either way, she’d be doing alone tonight. Unless she can pick up someone else at a bar but she already drank quite a bit, it wouldn’t turn out so great if she only continued to. “So, I’m that way.” She put her hood up and started back away. “You know where to find me.” That was all she said before turning around. Not even a “get home safe” because Julie wasn’t really the kind to care about that stuff. Sure, Bea was cool but here Julie was heading to her tree instead of a warm bed.

Rokuya Nagi: Wonderful Octave Rabbit Chat Part 2

Tsumugi: Everyone, thank you for gathering when you’re busy. I thought I would ask for requests for Nagi-san’s “RADIO STATION ‘Twelve Hits!’”!

T: To manage the chat and check the contents, us managers will also participate this time. Please take care of us.

6: I was looking forward to everyone’s requests so I couldn’t sleep last night.

3: Didn’t you fall asleep while watching the news yesterday? Lol

6: :-))))

5: But, Nagi-kun looking forward to it was true.

4: He talked a lot about the requests.

7: Really? He didn’t talk that much with me tho…

1: That’s not true. It’s just that Nanase-san didn’t notice.

3: He emphasized it a lot tho!

7: Eeeeeh?!

2: Maybe he ignored it cuz he couldn’t notice. Not like asking us straightforwardly, it was more like including the word “request” when he spoke.

7: Ah! That reminds me, I thought it was kind of weird when he repeatedly asked me the coffee sizes at the shop...

7: “Riku, there are three sizes, S, M, and L,” he said. [T/N: What Nagi said: “Riku, esu to emu to eru, mitsu saizu ga arimasu yo.”]

8: What’s that?

9: “Request~” isn’t it? [T/N: In Japanese, “request” is “rikuesuto” so Nagi had said, “Riku, esu to” hence, the secret “Request” in there.]

10: It’s true! It said “request” huh! Amazing!

Okazaki: Is that a pun?

Anesagi: No way… He said a pun…?

100: Nagi is playful~( *´艸｀)

1000: That’s a cute gag that Momo would say.

6: It’s not a gag but I’m relieved that Riku understood it.

6: I appealed as much as I could think of but he didn’t notice at all... Defeating Riku was like playing in critical mode.

4: Rikkun is the last boss huh.

100: No matter how strong the magic, it won’t work if the enemy’s attribute doesn’t match huh~.

7: Sorry, Nagi! I’ll be ready so you can say puns anytime…!

6: Let’s play fair. I’ll develop my skill too. :-)

T: I’m also happy that Nagi was looking forward to it that much. To hype up more, I want to collect requests from everyone!

T: So then, this time I will ask from the youngest. Tamaki-san please!

4: Oooh.

4: Do a radio without using “OH!”

100: Eh! Is that okay? Isn’t going“OH!” like breathing for Nagi?!

10: Speaking without using dialect is hard to get used to huh...

1: “OH!” is a dialect…?

6: There’s no problem. Speaking in any way is my speciality.

1000: That reminds me, you were speaking Japanese at the press conference before huh.

9: He’s speaking Japanese now too.

4: Nagicchi was suuuuuuuper cool that time right!

4: I like the energetic radios with Rikkun too but I want to see that one more tiiime.

5: It’s the radio so you would hear him, not see him, but we will be happy to know various Nagi-kuns huh.

4: So-chan you’re so nit-picky!

6: Tamaki, thank you for the wonderful request.

6: I also wanted to introduce my many charms to everyone. I’ll show you that I will catch the listener’s hearts with a different me.

T: Seems like it would be a special episode with a different Nagi-san!

T: Next is Iori-san please.

1: From me it’s “Please let us hear stories about Northmeir.”

1: It’s a country with not many Japanese tourists, so there are probably a lot of people who want to know about it.

1: More than that, I’m really interested in what culture and nature built Rokuya Nagi as a person.

6: A wonderful request. If it’s about my beloved home country, I could talk forever.

6: Even when the moon and stars fall asleep, I won’t have run out of talking points.

1: Rokuya-san’s expression is sometimes romantic; it makes me realize you grew up overseas.

2: Certainly. It’s too embarrassing for Japanese people to say.

8: Is that so?

2: Yaotome could say any embarrassing words (lol)

8: Why is that? Nikaido too, wouldn’t it be better so say what you’re thinking without embarrassment?

6: It’s exactly as Yaotome-shi said. Even though there are a lot of shy people in Japan, Yamato should become honest too.

6: I’ll give you lessons so you can express yourself straight without embarrassment!

2: Nononono. Enough talking about me.

2: How about we talk about Nagi-kun.

1: Isn’t it fine? How about taking his lesson, Nikaido-san?

2: Ichi, you don’t have to say that.

6: With Iori too right?

1: I’m fine.

1: Because my selling point as an idol is being cool.

10000: I think it’s good tho. Don’t the fans want to see Iori-kun saying romantic lines?

7: A romantic Iori! I wanna see that!

2: Me too. (lol)

3: Me too!!!

1: Manager, please move on to the next request.

T: Y-Yes! Then, Riku-san please!

7: But we weren’t done talking… We’ll talk about the lessons more later okay!

7: My request to Nagi is “An i7 drawing song”!

7: I’ll make a drawing song about the members so I want Nagi to draw while singing it.

6: Riku will compose a song? A wonderful challenge!

7: It’s not like composing! I was thinking that I’ll just come up with the lyrics, so you can make an impromptu melody…!

6: I see, an impromptu melody. That’s a bit hard huh.

6: But I could probably draw well while singing something that goes with the melody to Kokona’s opening song…?

6:|ω・`) peek

T: I’ll check if we can get permission!

6: I’m happy to have a wonderful manager :-)))))))

7: Manager, thanks!

1000: If you’re going to draw, it would probably be nice to be able to see it somewhere.

100: There’s no images cuz it’s the radio huuuh.

5: How about uploading it to the show’s homepage?

6: NICE IDEA. If people are going to see it, it motivates me.

6: My drawing skills will burst.

Okazaki: “See more on our website” huh!

Anesagi: Young people won’t understand that reference right...

T: Riku-san, thank you for the fun request! Next, how about asking Kujou-san?

9: From me it’s “I want to hear what you wish would be better about living in Japan.”

9: When we were on a shoot before, I asked “Teach me the places you like in Japan” right? So I wanted to try hearing the opposite.

6: The time we went overseas for a magazine interview project huh. How nostalgic.

6: But, that’s a difficult question huh… I want summer heat to be better but that’s on a universe scale.

9: You’ve lived in another country so I think you can notice something.

10: Nagi-kun, if there’s something, please say so without holding back! I could change it a little bit.

8: You can change Japan? (lol)

10: I’ll work hard to be the first step!

6: I feel Japan is a wonderful country with beautiful culture and history, and all the women are lovely.

6: Also, both Japan and Northmeir are my country. I have nothing but happiness for the country I love and admire, where I can be with my treasured friends.

3: We also have nothing but happiness that Nagi came to Japan..!

7: That’s right, Nagi!!

6: To be able to meet everyone, Japan is the country I love more and more.

4: Nagicchiiiiiiiiiiii

5: Nagi-kun..!

1: Rokuya-san is necessary to us too.

2: Even though we don’t even need to say that (lol)

Anesagi: IDOLiSH7 is a nice group huh...

T: Yes! I can’t see my screen through my tears...

9: Um, excuse me.

9: Should I change my question?

6: That’s not necessary. Thanks to Kujou-shi’s question, I was able to verify everyone’s love. Definitely, please let me accept this request.

9: Huh...

T: S-Sorry! I’ll get back to collecting requests…!

T: Next is Nagi-san’s request for himself please.

6: My turn huh! I decided on the request when the radio project started.

6: It’s “Challenge with Rakugo”! [T/N: Rakugo = Japanese classical storytelling]

4: Rakugo is that scary steam bun one? [T/N: He’s referring to one of the stories.]

6: “Manjyuu Kowai” is a Rakugo, but it’s not the only Rakugo. [T/N: “Manjyuu Kowai” literally translates to “scary steam bun.” It’s one of the stories.]

5: That reminds me, you were watching a TV show about Rakugo at night before this huh.

1: The time when he didn’t pass us the remote for a while huh...

6: Like anime and Rakugo, Japanese culture is full of wonderful Japanese charm!

6: I also wanted to wear a kimono and say “Teyandei”! [T/N: The old Japanese word for “damn it”]

6: I wanna pile cushions up high!

6: HEY, MITSUKI! Please bring the cushions!

3: You’re mixing things up, Nagi! lol

2: Even though it’s close.

6: There’s just one problem.

6: Making the soba slurping sound is a very difficult thing.

10000: It’s characteristic for Rakugo to make sounds of eating or drinking something huh.

8: If you don’t understand how to slurp shall I teach you?

8: Definitely should eat soba while slurping. I want you to eat in the best way.

7: Yaotome-san, you like soba huh!

8: Well yeah.

8: Normally

8: I mean, I like it normally.

10: Every Japanese person likes it huh!

9: Soba aside, it seems like radio and Rakugo would go together well, so I think it’s a good request.

Anesagi: The conversation has piled up huh! Takanashi-san, how about going to the next one?

T: Right! Then, can we go from Sougo-san next?

5: Yes. My request is “I want Nagi-kun to talk about the things he likes as much as he wants.”

5: I like the Nagi-kun when he’s talking about what he likes in a lively manner.

5: Maybe because I'm the same as Nagi-kun, I could be absorbed in what I like. I can feel Nagi-kun’s feelings of love so it makes me feel like I’m having fun too.

6: It’s a nice Sougo-ish request!

T: Nagi-san’s talks are always filled with love huh!

T: If Nagi-san would talk, what kind of subject would it be?

*T: Really, probably your talks about Kokona-chan!

6: I can’t talk enough in just the request corner. Not without the entire radio show being a Kokona corner.

6: It’s really hard to decide but I'll think of something.

5: Thanks, Nagi-kun. I hope my request will be chosen.

2: Ahh, sorry. Stop for a bit.

2: Tama flipped instant soba into kitchen sink.

T: Did he get burnt?!

5: He’s not hurt. Just, Tamaki-kun is really depressed...

3: Because Nagi was saying he wants to practice slurping soba, so Tamaki was making it for Nagi while also making his own.

4: Nagicchi, I’m really sorry...

4: [Turned-Away Kinako Stamp]

6: Tamaki...

6: You don’t have to apologize. I was touched by Tamaki’s kindness. Tamaki’s mistake is my mistake.

6: Let’s clean the sink soba together.

6: And, let’s pour hot water into new soba together.

4: [Crying Kinako Stamp]

100: You’re going to pour together? Into one instant soba? Won’t you flip it again?!

1000: Teaming up huh. Shall we do it too, Momo?

100: I see…?! If it that then we won’t lose. （っ`・ω･´)っ)))

T: So then, how about we have a lunch break? T: After time has passed, I’ll talk to you again.

V2:

T: If Nagi-san would talk, what kind of subject would it be?

T: I want you to talk about IDOLiSH7!

6: That IDOLiSH7 is the best idol group, I’ll spread it all over the world.

6: It’s really hard to decide but I'll think of something.

V3:

T: If Nagi-san would talk, what kind of subject would it be?

T: Like, what are you into it lately…?

6: I’m always into Tsumugi ;-)

6: It’s really hard to decide but I'll think of something.

I know the arc isn't over yet, but as someone who read the manga beforehand, which of the removed bits are you still upset that didn't make it on the final scripts?? (Shipping moments included)

Welp.

Talking about this particular season…..That scene, hands down:

I know, I know….I am very much alone on that one but personally, I’ve been robbedTM

In case of shipping….Not to disappoint you possibly, but when it comes to that I have my major focus on my two favorite ones and if there’s any other moments of different ships that they cut then I wouldn’t know or remember I think (I also just simply don’t remember RDC well enough in the anime because as I said, its an arc I barely ever revisit) ;w; Sorry.

Though, in case someone cares about how my two rare pairs have been handled: When it comes to Zenji/Yuki, the anime has been very weak in adapting their scenes lately.

That’s all been missing -w- I know it’s really just tiny stuff on the side. But….I looked forward to it regardless and was “; 7 ;” when it didn’t get adapted. I don’t really feel rage at this point anymore though, because it’s practically what I expect with this ship sadly. Also being fair, the anime does place them next to each other (occassionally) and that’s at least something.

In regard of the other favorite ship, Eizan/Nene….For these two I’ve been pretty lucky so far actually. (I’m afraid that now that I said so, I’ll stop being lucky but welp). Their “ “ “ moments “ “ “ in the RDC merely consists of standing next to each other anyway, but the anime did actually more or less adapt all of that. I mean….if you want me to get SUPER nit-picky, I could say they didn’t really adapt these:

But I mean, with the first one….They still were shown next to each other and that’s all that matters to this maniac you’re talking to right now there was just no dialogue. While with the second one, they also got shown together after Momo’s loss, it’s just that...for some reason, the anime made them way less invested into this ahdhd

This is basically those scene’s counterparts in the anime:

But then again, the anime did add this:

And that’s not in the manga.

So in that regard, I really can’t complain (for once)

I mean, after all it was the anime that got me into shipping them this hardcore in the first place 🤷🏻‍♀️ S3 adapted pretty much every small thing there is to them. Even expanded on some of them and gave them a few anime-only things so meep.

spring love [kim namjoon]

requested

word count: 3256

genre: hints of angst, mainly fluff, suggestive

warnings: implications of love making, if ya know what i mean

author’s note: i hope this was okay!! i kinda had a lot of fun writing it. prompts: 49. “is something wrong with me?” 53. “ask for permission.” 54. “why did you say ‘daddy’ in your sleep?”

please do not copy my work. but please like and reblog it. thank you!!!!

the day was nice and bright and sunny. with winter finally transitioning to spring, warmer weather was rolling in, trees and flowers were blooming once again, days were long and bright; spring was your favorite time of year. it was when the earth was most peaceful and beautiful.

however, today did not go quite as planned. you mentally screamed as you were handed back your research essay for a college history class you were being forced to take. you were so close to graduating with a degree in [college major], and yet it felt so far. plus, you were doing quite well in the class until mr. song decided to decide when you would die. in other words, he assigned a major essay. the requirements were not normal. they were almost too challenging, but just enough to where it wasn’t impossible. you tried your very best, as you did on all major assignments, but that damn professor just didn’t think it was good. and now, he had handed back your research paper, demanding that you rewrite it. this is why you wanted to scream and flip a desk. you had woken up earlier; the sun was rising, the weather was due to be warm, you were in a good mood, nothing could stop you. well, or so you thought.

“i’m sorry, y/n.” mr. song apologized as you glanced at your paper.

no, you’re not, you thought to yourself. “it’s okay, mr. song. i understand.” you replied.

he looked at you and nodded, signalling for you to leave. you held onto your breath, just until you were out of the large classroom. you sighed heavily, your hands clenching tightly enough to crumble the edges of your essay.

“hey, y/n.” you heard to your right.

you pried open your heavy eyelids, looking down the hallway in the direction of where you had heard your best friend’s voice. there he was, the oh-so-perfect, kim namjoon. he was known to be the smartest student at this college. this can be backed up with his iq score of 148, a number so high, not even the tallest people could reach it. luckily, you and him had been best friends long before college. and since you and him were so close, he always helped when you needed it most.

but there was one little secret that even sometimes you were scared to admit to yourself: you were in love with your best friend. he was just so perfect. namjoon has the smarts, the looks, everything that made a man attractive. your attraction towards your best friend only begun recently. and although you haven’t found the exact reason as to why or how your crush developed, you’ve tried your best to deal with it. but at each passing day, your feelings grew stronger and hardly to hide.

“hey, namjoon.” you replied monotonously.

namjoon stood in front of you, concern written on his face. “are you okay?”

your heart skipped a beat at the question. you shook your head while presenting your paper, the one that had the gigantic, bright red letter f in the right hand corner. namjoon winced. “damn, really? but you sacrificed so many hours to work on that.”

you sniffed, feeling yourself on the verge of having a mental breakdown. “is something wrong with me?”

namjoon sighed, bringing his hand up to your shoulder in an attempt to comfort you. he squeezed slightly. just namjoon being there for you was reassuring. “y/n, nothing’s wrong with you. it’s probably just the teacher being nit-picky about the essay. why don’t you come to spend the night at my apartment tonight?”

you looked up at the man in front of you. you had seen him multiple times today, but something was different now. you didn’t know why. namjoon looked nice in his casual outfit, but then again, he always looked nice. you started to shake your head. “but i need to-”

“you should take a break first, y/n. trust me, it’ll do you some good.” namjoon smiled.

you returned his smile. “i guess that would be fine. but will you help me next week?”

namjoon scoffed, “of course. you don’t even need to ask.” namjoon adjust himself so that his arm was now wrapped around your shoulder. he began leading down the hallway in the direction of the exit. thank the lord it was friday. you don’t know how you would go through another day or two after such a traumatic experience with mr. song. however, namjoon easily took mr. song off of your mind when he wrapped his arm around you. with his body close to yours, you were able to feel his skin and his warmth. you couldn’t help but blush at the action, while namjoon didn’t even realize the effect he had on you. you inhaled and exhaled deeply, praying that your reddened cheeks wouldn’t be noticeable by the time namjoon looked at your face again.

on the way to namjoon’s apartment, you and him stopped by a convenience store to stock up on food and drinks for the very fun night ahead. it was a short commute from the college to namjoon’s apartment. he followed you into the building as well as the elevator. standing so close to him in such a small space made your stomach flip nervously, like a bunch of butterflies in a tight box. you had never felt this nervous around namjoon. he was your best friend, for god’s sake. you had no reason to be nervous.

namjoon sighed as the elevator ascended quiet slowly. “is there anything in particular that you want to do?”

you shrugged. “i don’t really care, as long as it takes my mind off of mr. song and my essay.”

namjoon laughed breathlessly, causing you to smile. finally, the doors opened and you stepped out first, namjoon following closely behind. namjoon silently watched you as you walked in the direction of his apartment. it wasn’t necessarily in a creepy way, it was more that he had nothing else to admire. but he couldn’t help but smile to himself. the idea that you were spending the night with him and hanging out with him pleased him. he felt closer to you than ever.

you stopped at his door, moving out of the way so that namjoon could unlock the door with his key. he finally pushed the door open, going inside first because he had been carrying the bags of food and drinks the entire way. namjoon insisted because he was a natural and polite gentleman.

after namjoon walked into his apartment, you followed, closing and locking the door afterwards. “namjoon,” you called. “do you remember if i left spare clothes here?” you asked, trying to recall any instances where you’ve left clothes all the other times you’ve stayed.

namjoon momentarily stopped unloading the plastic bags in order to think for a second. “not that i know of. but check my bedroom, in the closet. if you don’t find anything, then just choose one of my shirts and pants.”

despite namjoon speaking so casually as if it was normal, his words had done a great deal of damage to you and your heart. you would be wearing namjoon’s clothes. you had never done that before. you entered namjoon’s bedroom, trying to decide if you wanted to find your clothes in there or if you wanted to borrow some of namjoon’s clothes. however, when you looked in his closet, there was no sign of your clothes. you must’ve brought all of them back home, probably to do some laundry. you sighed nervously before reaching for a t-shirt and finding a pair of sweatpants on the floor. you quickly changed into them, finding that they were too large for you, but they were extremely comfortable. men’s clothing was always more comfortable.

you left the bedroom after. you walked out into the living room and found that namjoon had arrange all the snacks on the coffee table, and had the television turned on. he looked up at you as he placed the drinks down. namjoon’s own heart skipped a beat. the sight of you wearing his clothing almost put him into cardiac arrest, because you looked so damn cute, or hot (depending on perspective). you blushed as namjoon practically gawked at you, falling into a trance. you nervously messed around with the edge of the t-shirt, feeling the butterflies in your stomach again.

namjoon cleared his throat, turning into a stuttering mess. “s-sorry. let me g-g-go change into my pajamas and then i’ll come back with blankets and pillows.”

you nodded. you watched as a red-faced namjoon hurried around the couch, almost hitting his hip on the corner of his piece of beige furniture on his way. you laughed lightly, seeing his reaction to you. perhaps, he liked you too. but you waved away the thought just as quickly as it came. “no,” you mumbled. “it’s too good to be true.”

you found a spot on the couch. it was on the very end, so that namjoon could have room on the other side. plus, there would be room for the both of to lay down if necessary, although it would be a tight squeeze. in theory, one of you might be falling off the couch later.

you leaned forward and grabbed a handful of popcorn from the big bowl on the coffee table, popping each individual piece into your mouth just as namjoon came onto your mind. you sighed. you were amazed that you were overall keeping things together. you are still nervous around him, especially because of your feelings, but you have been managing them well - or at least you hoped that you were.

moments later, namjoon was back, and was pretending as if nothing had happened. he smiled sweetly at you, blankets in his arms. he gave you half of them and sat down on his side of the couch. you laid the blankets on top of your body, waiting for them to warm up your body. you made sure you were comfortable before reaching for the entire bowl of popcorn.

namjoon got himself situated, before grabbing the remote on the coffee table. “so,” he began, “what do you want to watch?”

you hummed in thought. “maybe an action movie, perhaps a comedy, i don’t really mind.”

namjoon chuckled lightly. “that helps.”

you rolled your eyes. “i’m sorry, i don’t care. you choose the movie.”

namjoon smiled before turning on the tv. he scoured the television, looking for a movie to watch. eventually a movie was chosen, and it was one you wanted to watch. you paid attention to the entire movie, while eating the entire bowl of popcorn. three movies later, you were finally feeling it. your eyelids were beginning to feel heavy, and your body began to sink into the couch. it felt like you were laying on a large pillow. you adjusted yourself so that you were laying down, instead of sitting up. namjoon noticed this, and he himself was feeling tired as well, so he had done the exact same thing. despite being so close each other and the tight space on the couch, it was comfortable and warm.

it wasn’t long before you finally drifted off into a deep sleep. a few minutes after you had fallen asleep, namjoon peeked over at you. he had noticed the change in your breathing pattern, it had slowed down. he noticed that you were asleep, and felt a bit relieved. you were getting some rest after a long day. namjoon sighed himself, heaving himself up from the couch in order to turn off the tv. the lights were already turned off since you and him had been having a movie marathon. so once the room was enveloped in both a peaceful silence and darkness, namjoon adjusted himself on the couch and laid down. then, he too fell asleep.

----

“[inaudible mumbling].”

“[more inaudible mumbling].”

a moan.

namjoon heard something suddenly. the unknown noise was like an echo in his head. at first he thought that it was some kind of weird dream that he was waking up in. but it couldn’t have been that. so namjoon’s next thought was that it was the tv. he forced himself to open his eyes, finding that the room was still dark, and that no television was on. slightly confused, namjoon waited silently, waiting for the sound again.

“[even more inaudible mumbling].”

namjoon felt your leg kick slightly after you mumbled something he didn’t understand. he cautiously sat up on the couch, making sure that he wasn’t going to wake you up. he sat there for a few seconds, watching you carefully. namjoon was confused, and it didn’t help that his brain was still hazy from sleep. and there you went again, only this time, namjoon was able to make out what you were mumbling. “namjoon.”

namjoon’s eyes widened in shock. his cheeks immediately flushed deep shades of red. he didn’t know how to react, or even what to think. why were you mumbling his name? what could you possibly be dreaming? obviously it was about him, but it was just a surprise to namjoon.

namjoon was curious as to what else you were going to say. he was slightly intrigued. but the next word that escaped through your lips was much more surprising than you saying his name. “daddy.”

namjoon’s face burned with embarrassment. he could feel his heart beating, its pounding echoing in his eardrums. “what the hell?” he whispered into the dark.

namjoon shook his head and decided that he needed to go to the bathroom. his brain was much to scrambled in the moment. he carefully removed the blanket from his body and swung his legs around, planting his feet on the floor. he stood up, trying to get around the coffee table and escape the living room quietly. but it was too late. it was hard to see in the dark.

there was a loud bang, the sound that followed after namjoon’s shin collided with the corner of the coffee table. all the food and glasses on top of the table slid slightly after the collision. you had woken up from the noise, as well as namjoon’s trying his best to keep quiet as he stroked his shin, attempting to rid of the pain. you opened your eyes, not knowing what was going on. when you sat up, you could see namjoon standing on one leg while holding the other.

“namjoon?”

namjoon gasped. he looked in your direction, flashing a sheepish smile. “ah, did i wake you up?”

you turned around and found a lamp by the couch. you turned it up, wincing at the sudden light. you blinked a few times before turning back to namjoon. “are you okay?”

namjoon seemed nervous, and you couldn’t understand why. namjoon set down his leg, shaking it out a bit. you noticed the bright red spot on his leg. “yeah,” namjoon replied. “i was getting up to just use the bathroom and i didn’t see the table, so my leg just got caught on the corner.”

you smiled slightly, “that’s what that loud noise was.”

namjoon nodded. “sorry to wake you.”

you shrugged. “it’s fine.”

there was a moment of silence for a second, almost awkward. you didn’t understand why namjoon was acting like the way he was. you looked around the apartment for a minute, not sure how to break the silence. but namjoon cleared his throat, before sitting down on his side of the couch again. “i-i have a question.”

you crossed your legs under you, pulling a blanket into your lap. you stared into namjoon’s eyes, waiting for his question. “why did you say ‘daddy’ in your sleep?”

your eyes widened and you felt your body flinch. “what do you mean?”

namjoon’s cheeks reddened. “you were talking in your sleep earlier.” namjoon explained. you were shocked. you didn’t even know you did that.

“and you had said my name once. but afterwards, you said daddy.”

that’s when you remembered the type of dream you were having. you chuckled nervously, bringing a hand up to push back your bed(couch)-head. “did i?” you felt your face burn.

namjoon stared at you, “yeah. what were you dreaming about?”

you gulped hard, “well, it’s not important.”

namjoon shook his head, his voice raising both in volume and in tone. “but i need to know! you were mumbling my name. and you called me daddy. there’s no reason to hide it now. it’s easy to determine what you were dreaming about.”

you glared at him. “then why did you ask?”

“i don’t know!”

you sighed sharply, “i’m sorry, okay? just forget i even said any of that.”

namjoon thought to himself for a second. perhaps this was his chance to admit his feelings for you. except, he was also scared, and he was starting to second guess himself.

you didn’t know what to do with yourself other than sit on the couch and be silent. you were embarrassed that you had such a dream, especially when it was with your best friend. not to mention that you were laying right next to him as well, and for him to hear you sleep talking...you wanted nothing more than to disappear.

namjoon sighed while his mind was filled with conflicting thoughts. he glanced over at you, noticing your sad gaze at the blanket down in your lap. he shook his head. screw it, he thought.

namjoon scooted over along the couch. you were confused as you noticed him getting closer to you. you were scared to look up. however after namjoon got closer to you, you felt his hands on your cheeks. he stroked your cheekbones and tilted your face up to look at him. with a worried look on his face, he leaned closer. as he closed the distance between you and him, you could feel your heart begin to beat uncontrollably, and the butterflies in your stomach made you even more nervous than ever. before you knew it, namjoon’s lips were over yours.

but unlike what you were - rather un - expecting, it wasn’t just a kiss. it was something more. the kiss was soft and gentle at first. but it soon turned rough and hard, and it turned you on. it was like the very dream you had, of course with some minor changes in detail. when namjoon pulled away, your lips throbbed and felt swollen. you breathed deeply, as if gasping for air. you were still so bewildered as the change of events. you had never expected your sleepover with your best friend (is he still your best friend?) to end up like this. you stared at namjoon attentively, who could not take his eyes off of you. you narrowed your eyes at him, before saying, “ask for permission.”

“permission for what?”

you smiled mischievously, “you know what...”

namjoon let out a light laugh, red hues in his cheeks. “permission to move things into the bedroom.”

“that was weird coming out of your mouth, but i’ll take it.”

---

things drastically changed between you and namjoon. no words had to be said between you two, because both you and namjoon both knew that there was something much, much deeper that had developed. although you hadn’t expected it, you were delighted at the way things had turned out. ever since that night, when love literally blossomed in the bedroom, you and namjoon have been closer than ever.
