RECKLESS | lee heeseung
Tumblr media
now playing ā˜¾ā‹†āŗā‚ŠšŸŽ§āœ©Ā°ļ½” reckless by madison beer
"how could you be, so reckless with my heart?"
āŗ ā‹†Ėš genre: idol!hee x nonidol/university student!femreader, pure angst sorry lol, established relationship
āŗ ā‹†Ėš warnings: cursing, lowercase intended, barely proofread, mention of i-land LOL, lots of dialouge and idk if thats even a warning but had to put it out there, use of nicknames like babe/baby, infidelity
āŗ ā‹†Ėš word count: ~1k
āŗ ā‹†Ėš message from nic: wanted to put smth out while working on my jay fic!! got inspired by this show i was watching called "the game" (dont watch it its like highkey misogynistic and a bit racist and just overall so bad šŸ˜­) i wanted to rewatch it bc i used to watch it as a kid and now i realize how bad it was skdkd. but basically the bf is a pro football player while the gf is in med school and a certain plotline in the show inspired this šŸ˜ also this is my first writing piece so pls be nice and feedback is appreciated!
heeseung slowly opened the front door to the apartment you and him shared, trying to be as quiet as possible since you were most likely sleeping. once he made it in he tip toe'd his way to your guys' bedroom. "did you have fun tonight hee?" you asked, while sitting on the couch with nothing but the lamp on. heeseung jumps, "holy shit you scared me! baby what are you doing up? come on let's get you to bed."
he walks over and tries to give you a kiss. you turned your head down only allowing him to press it to your forehead. you were pissed. actually, you were beyond that. words could not describe what you were even feeling at the moment.
you get up from the couch and stand before him, "you didn't answer my question. did you have fun tonight hee?" heeseung is perplexed by your tone. you sounded... hurt? angry? annoyed? all of the above? he tried to proceed with caution, racking his brain of all the possibilities of why you could be acting like this.
"uh... yeah babe, i had a lot of fun tonight. sorry i stayed out so late by the way. you really didn't have to wait up for me, you're probably tired." he was hopeful this was the right answer. it's gotta be, right? all you could do was stifle a cold laugh.
why the hell were you laughing? what was so funny? heeseung can feel his heartbeat in his ears and his skin was turning hot. you had never once acted this way in all of the years you guys had been together. it may not seem like a big deal to others, but you had always been so caring and sweet towards him.
even when you guys were arguing, your soft voice never changed. this was new. this was scary. you had a smile that didn't quite reach your eyes now and it seemed like you were staring into his soul.
"yeah heeseung. it's 2 am," you say sounding almost condescending, "but no i'm not mad that you stayed out so late. i mean i WAS, but after someone sent me a little something i realized there are worse things to be mad about." suddenly your phone is shoved into heeseung's hands. his jaw dropped. no. there's no way.
"who sent you this?! wait no it doesn't matter baby you can't believe this can you?" he reaches out for you but you pull away and start walking towards the front door to gather your jacket and bag, "so you're not even going to try to deny it? huh. i guess my friends were right." it makes him sick how you seem so calm on the outside, your words and actions treating this like one big joke while he's freaking out. he'd rather you be a crying, screaming mess than whatever behavior you're exhibiting at the moment.
you turn back around to him, "you think i donā€™t know who youā€™re giggling with on the phone while iā€™m sitting in the room studying for hours? that iā€™m stupid enough to believe that youā€™re not making out with her in that video? that iā€™m blind enough to not see the heart eyes you two make at each other while in the same room?ā€ your words drip with venom and they shoot heeseung straight in the heart.
he feels like the room is spinning and he wants to faint. he wants to go up to you and hold you and tell you that she doesnā€™t matter, that youā€™re the only important thing in his life. but thatā€™s not what happens. heeseung is too wrapped up in the moment to admit his wrongs.
frankly, heā€™s disgusted with himself and at a loss for words right now. he wants to convince not only you but more importantly to himself that he didnā€™t do anything wrong. and so he does. what comes out of his mouth next are words heā€™d soon regret. ā€œWHAT DID YOU WANT ME TO DO YN?! iā€™ve been so lonely lately because youā€™re so wrapped up in school and sheā€™s THERE FOR ME. sheā€™s been there when you werenā€™t. i wouldnā€™t have made out with her if YOU were at the afterparty with ME like i asked you to! we won four fucking awards tonight and i just wanted my girlfriend there to celebrate with me.ā€
and just like that, you snap. the jacket and bag in your hands are now thrown to the ground and heeseung flinches. ā€œYOU ARE SO FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE! do you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth right now?! i told you i have an exam tomorrow there was no way i was going to that damn party.ā€
tears are blurring your vision and your breath is becoming uneven. you donā€™t even recognize the man standing in front of you. ā€œi have a life too heeseung. while youā€™re out chasing your dreams so am i. do you even acknowledge the sacrifices i have made for you over the past five years? tell me, was she there for you when you first became a trainee? was she crying for you every fucking episode of i-land? was she there every step of the way supporting your career?!"
heeseung doesnā€™t speak. he doesnā€™t move an inch yet his brain is moving a million miles per minute. he knows youā€™re right. he knows that you decline going out with your friends so you can wait for him to come home from practice. that your life only revolves around school and him. and heā€™s so eternally grateful for you. his heart yearns to express all the love he has for you and that he fucked up so badly. he just wants to fast forward to the part where you guys work through it and everything is okay again.
but that time is never going to come because you walk up to him with a heavy heart, placing the promise ring he gave you all those years ago in his hands.
he stares at the pretty diamond that shines in the moonlight, the only thing illuminating the darkness thatā€™s consumed the space you both once filled with love. ā€œi hope she was worth it,ā€ you say as you open the door and walk out into the cold night. leaving heeseung and all of the memories of your relationship behind.

the post like i said. its been 2 days later (maybe a bit more. im a bit late at this point..) But! 14 of november! My birthday !!! :p didnt do anything for myself but i did spend some (more like a ton) time with friends
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so ahead will just be rambling . read if u want
Alriiight so. i am. Dead. i dont post very often . Thats bcuz i dont actually have a active online presence when it comes 2 posting lol this is sorta my first time . however i did post a few times on twitter before and got a decent following but that was basically never anyway . Thank you all for (checks notes) 19 followers! That. is a first actually
however i also kinda have 2 apologize since i dont post a lot which makes this account.. uh, semi-inactive? shrug. as i did mention before in a prev post i am holding back a lotta stuff that i havent posted yet . oops! i personally dont like posting irl photos because 1) i am actually dogwater at taking photos, 3) my camera quality sucks and 2) i dont actually draw on A4 paper very often or like notebook paper at all lol. (its this small one thats more like a notebook to write stuff down stuff you gotta remember, an agenda or whatever. not like i care i use it to draw anyway. it aint got lines its just full white paper (sometimes colored depending on the one i buy) so its for drawing in my view.) but the bad thing is most drawings i made of ribbit so far are... On Paper.
Now. I can just upload them as is but i dont like doing that . i can also just make them digital drawings but if you think im capable of doing that without immediately doing something else you may be wrong
Speaking of thats mostly why this acc is also semi-inactive . whenever i DO draw digitally im probably also doing another thing at the same time so i get distracted and then get stuck on doing something else completely and forget i have to draw!!! Oopsies. im also bad at executing things (''man im gonna draw ribbit right now'' (doesnt do it) (its also a 50/50 if i actually do it or not)) so thats part of it. do i Think posting and/or drawing ribbit stuff is a chore? Not really. i actually like drawing stuff 4 this fandom and im attached 2 the characters + the mod anyway so its not like im gonna stop This soon . not even a year in yet!
I also have a lot of ideas so i hop between 'em a lot (i have so many animations/animatics in mind but guess who cant animate and also drawing frames take longer than just drawing sighs)... thats why most posts on here is just doodles so far .
to be fair though i have been in a . Uh. I guess fine. Maybe a bit bad headspace as of a few weeks now so i havent really gotten the urge/want to post rn and who knows how long that'll take to go away anyway. thinking of trying 2 get sum stuff finished and then queueing a few posts just so i can get some brainworms out of ma head . and Who Knows if i'll really do that. Future Is Mystery!
Oh and to add i still need to finish or get to like maybe the 5th chapter for a fic im working on rn so theres that too. im still on chapter 4 (progress is fine. i think ill rewrite the dream segment?) and then i will Hopefully get 2 work on chapter 5. god bless being unable to execute things AND to spice it up focus on things (sarcasm)
i am however kinda busy these days. Schoolnstuff. I get in drawing moods a lot (literally everyday bro i dont get burnt out easily or get demotivated that much bc i just finish it eventually anyway) but i need to pass math to pass the year itself so maybe no art posts until thats done. i might post every now and then though. Speaking of posting! Did you know VeeReMia is actually a pun on viremia which is, ''a medical term for viruses present in the bloodstream''. vee came first as part of the instrumental theme, and then maxine added the other syllables. Fun isnt it (i cant stop thinking about it now)
Thanks for reading . I think thats all. Maybe. Shrug.

Heya! Iā€˜ve spent my morning reading through your website and low-key your blog here and wanted to say that the way you describe Loki feels so weirdly familiar? like him being your Mad Muse resonated in a way with my experience as an artist that is somewhat similar to yours which got me thinking. some ideas or concepts come seemingly out of nowhere and get stuck until i get them out and many of them are to do with the human condition but also gender and living the true self kinda? but more like these characters feel actually alive and thus not wanting me as an author or painter to control them but to observe and conserve these observations. it often feels like a swirling mass of chaos in my mind with me racing behind trying to grasp what i see/feel (its all really vague and words are more feelings of the essence of whats said.)
If i understand correctly You often make a distinction between chaos and his trickery (i am so sorry in advance for possible weird-wording things, or completely misunderstandig you >.< english is my 2nd language) and for me personally, i delight in chaos and trickery, though not in a hurting others way, more in a good hearted fun for the shits and giggles kind? but i love chaos in the way i love a symbol, since chaos for me means change in a rather radical way but without any judgement. Things change and get chaotic but chaos itself feels more like possibility?
I have a bonus Loki-Story for you: one time he (i assume) probably annoyed a busdriver with a red light and i caught my bus after asking any god willing to help me catch that bus (it was urgent lol). I was so out of breath but the second i could breathe properly again i asked who to thank for the red light and i kid you not, i drove by a wall with a graffiti that simply said: Loki. made me chuckle ugly but i gave him the best part of my steak never the less, gotta say thanks!
There have been several of these happenings with other gods (Thor and Odin mainly but i caught a whiff of freya once while baking i think?) so now im at the point where i feel i should finally listen. Though i know nothing about working with the gods or magic ive always felt a pull to runes and even got an engraving set to make some myself.
After reading your introduction about deity work i kinda confirmed what i thought regarding knowing the basics of magic (mainly i wont use runes or magic until i know how to do it safely with warding and shielding, which brings me to my question:
Do you have any open source or freely online available sources for learning the basics of magic and getting familiar with deity work? (possibly even for absolute total beginners who boarder on dumb - hello adhd) Like how to shield/ward yourself and your house and how to cleanse. Same with sharpening the clairsenses. It sounds kind of easy when reading but when i try to actually do that i feel helpless and dont know where to start or what to do :(
I often see these things stated (on your page and in the asks you answer but also on any site regarding these topics as well.Saw this also on sunnyway when tring to read up on runes) but never really explained in a way thats friendly for beginners, and when i try googling (i am chronically out of moneys so i guess that has to do with it) all that comes up is wicca related stuff that makes me feel icky (the norse gods are generally the only pantheon and norse religion mostly the only religion that doesnt feel icky to me but that might be my catholic upbringing? the norse gods feel so healingly friend-shaped that it spooked me for years but im staring to fall in love with that. i do get its not always like that but having a kind of mutually respectful relationship with the gods is kind of all i wanted when i grew up). Im also too new i guess to be able to discern between norse practicioners and white supremacists and dont want to end up on a nazi page and learning from them :/ (Here in germany i mostly saw nazis and white supremacists wearing norse symbols which i guess kept my spanish-libanese-migrant ass away from norse paganism for so long bc i thought theyre the only ones who practice it and i really do not like the fuckers)
Thank you in advance if you decide to answer this! (And i apologize for the sheer length of this ask!!)
Sorry this took me so long to get back! If Iā€™m not mistaken, youā€™re basically asking how to move fromĀ ā€œtheoryā€ toĀ ā€œpractical applicationā€ with paganism, magic, and spirit/deity work.
I had to sit with this for a while because I couldnā€™t think of an easy answer to your question, and maybe an easy answer simply doesnā€™t exist. For me, everything I know and everything I believe in was built upon a combination of a few things:
Introducing myself to different branches of magical theory and trying different things, even stuff that wasnā€™t Norse.
Familiarizing myself with MANY different spiritual and religious practices; how they work, their ethos, their worldviews, their metaphysical philosophies, and how they differ from one another.
Finding a reputable community of actual advanced pagan practitioners who gave me the tools I needed to rely on myself and helped me troubleshoot specific things.
Identifying how my clairsenses and magical tendencies manifest and working them out like a muscle, using Tarot to help confirm or refute my interpretations of experiences.
Learning to trust myself and my judgements.
Learning what bad communities look like.
Learning what Nazi-coded language looks like.
Learning what healthy relationships look like.
Trying things and learning from both my mistakes and successes.
This stuff takes months to identify andĀ years to cultivate, and honestly the only way to do figure it out is to expose yourself to it.
One resource I started with that IS free would be Oven-Ready Chaos by Phil Hine.Ā This is a PDF you can google and download that introduces you to the basics of Chaos Magic. Even if youā€™re not a chaos magician, it provides some good metaphysical philosophies that can be applied to basically any eclectic practice. This book was also the first time magic was presented to me in a way that made a damn lick of sense.
But thatā€™s all I really have for you, unfortunately. Someday I hope to write more about this process of magical/pagan development, but Iā€™m not at the point where I know enough about it to do so.

ā€˜Took you long enough,ā€™ Namjoon exclaims as I open the front door of his car and climb into the passenger seat. ā€˜Wait, whoa. Hold on. What is this?ā€™ Namjoon demands as I shut the door behind me, and I quickly turn to look at him. ā€˜What?ā€™ I ask worriedly, and he shakes his hand in my general direction. ā€˜This. Your outfit. Iā€™m confused,ā€™ he says, and I relax, rolling my eyes, trying to ignore the way my cheeks are heating up and hoping he doesnā€™t notice it. ā€˜Why are you confused, Namjoon?ā€™ I ask as though Iā€™m speaking to a child, and he laughs, starting up the car.
ā€˜Iā€™m confused because Iā€™ve never seen you wear anything other than clothes that are way too big for you,ā€™ he says, and I make an indignant noise as he speeds down the road like the devil driver he is. ā€˜Donā€™t even deny it, you know itā€™s true. I started to wonder if you had something you were trying to hide. A growth on your stomach. A hunchback. A pregnancy. Or worse; no boobs!ā€™ he says, gasping dramatically, and I hit his shoulder, holding back a laugh. ā€˜I wasnā€™t hiding anything,ā€™ I say, and he glances over at me, eyeing my chest, before his tongue darts out to wet his lip. ā€˜You were. I always assumed you had small tits ā€“ a B cup, max ā€“ but obviously not. I canā€™t believe you hid them so well. Theyā€™ve gotta be at least a D,ā€™ he says, and I roll my eyes, not bothering to disclose that Iā€™m actually an E. Heā€™d probably pop a boner. ā€˜And your legs,ā€™ he says, and I look down at them self-consciously. ā€˜What about them?ā€™ I ask, and he blinks before looking down at my freshly shaved limbs. ā€˜Iā€™ve never seen them before. Theyā€™re nice. Smooth. And curved, with some fat on them. Iā€™m glad you donā€™t have stick legs,ā€™ he jokes, and I sigh. ā€˜Stop body-shaming,ā€™ I say, and he lets out a little chuckle. ā€˜Am I not allowed to have preferences?ā€™ he smirks, eyes on the road as he overtakes cars left, right and centre. ā€˜No,ā€™ I reply, and he bursts out laughing.
ā€˜So whatā€™s with the new look? What prompted this reinvention? Because, Iā€™m either still tripping from last night, or youā€™re actually wearing makeup too,ā€™ he says, and I shift embarrassedly in the seat. ā€˜I just felt like it was time for a change. I wanted to experiment, try something new,ā€™ I say, and he nods, face blank. ā€˜Okay. Now, do you wanna tell me the real reason?ā€™ he asks, and I laugh, annoyed that he knows me so well. ā€˜I was getting changed in my room-ā€™ ā€˜Okay, hang on, let me picture it,ā€™ Namjoon says, and I hit him again, ignoring his chuckles. ā€˜So, I was getting changed, and Nayeon barged in and had a meltdown overā€¦ my body. She said that she was really annoyed with me for hiding my body so much, because if she had my body, sheā€™d walk around naked. Or whatever. Something like that. Iā€™d never reallyā€¦ looked at my body like that, but once she said it, I realised that maybe I could start branching out, fashion-wise. So she took me shopping, and this is the trial of new outfit number one,ā€™ I say, and he listens intently, nodding in all the right places.
ā€˜So how have people reacted today?ā€™ he asks, and I get a little embarrassed thinking about it. ā€˜Some of the girls in my class started screaming when they saw me, and Taehyung asked if I was new here, and if he could get my number. Oh, and our lecturer asked me to stay behind to ask if I was okay, because I didnā€™t seem to be myself today,ā€™ I explain, and Namjoon bursts out laughing. ā€˜Youā€™re kidding.ā€™ ā€˜Not at all.ā€™ ā€˜Wow. All Iā€™ll say is to ignore Taehyung. I think all that weed has caused permanent damage to his brain,ā€™ he says, and I canā€™t help but agree, wondering how that boy can even breathe right anymore. ā€˜Well, anyway. Why did you used to cover up so much?ā€™ he asks, and I laugh. ā€˜Are you just gonna keep quizzing me?ā€™ I ask, and he nods instantly, grinning. ā€˜Iā€™m intrigued, y/n. You have to understand that this is a lot for me to process. My best friend has transformed into someone else since I last saw her. My mindā€™s going into meltdown mode,ā€™ he says dramatically, and I roll my eyes at him. ā€˜Drama queen.ā€™ ā€˜I learn from the best. You. Now, anyway. Can you answer my question?ā€™
ā€˜I donā€™t know.ā€™ ā€˜You donā€™t know if you can answer my question?ā€™ ā€˜No, moron, I donā€™t know why I used to cover up so much,ā€™ I say exasperatedly, and he raises an eyebrow. ā€˜I find that slightly hard to believe.ā€™ ā€˜Fine. I wasnā€™t the most confident in my body. Itā€™s hard, seeing all these super slim tiktok girls, petite and slight, and seeing them dress the way I wanted to. Itā€™s likeā€¦ I felt stupid wearing the same clothes they wear because they look so different to me. The way the media glorifies slim womenā€¦ itā€™s hard for not-so-slim women like me. So I just hid my body in loose clothes for so long that it was what I was comfortable in,ā€™ I explain, Namjoon still listening attentively. Thatā€™s one of the best things about him; he may be an idiot, but he always listens to what I have to say.
ā€˜Thatā€™sā€¦ kinda sad, actually. Because ā€“ donā€™t get me wrong, your old look did suit you ā€“ but this new look? Itā€™s great. You look really good, y/n, regardless of the fact that youā€™re not a super slim tiktok girl,ā€™ he says matter-of-factly, and I smile shyly. ā€˜Thanks. So itā€™s a yes to the black and white check mini skirt and blazer set?ā€™ I ask, and he nods instantly with a grin. ā€˜I canā€™t wait to see the rest of your outfits,ā€™ he says, turning into the car park at the shopping centre. ā€˜Thereā€™sā€¦ quite a few to come. Iā€™m a bit nervous about a couple of them,ā€™ I say as he pulls into a parking space, and he gives me a greasy smirk. ā€˜Iā€™m even more excited now,ā€™ he says, and I swat at him, the boy chuckling as he ducks away from my hand. ā€˜Iā€™ve just driven you to buy you food, and this is what I get in return?ā€™ ā€˜Yes. Youā€™re lucky Iā€™m not beating the shit out of you.ā€™ He sighs, checking his blond hair in the mirror before climbing out of the car, and I reach into the back and grab my bag before getting out too.
ā€˜Oh, my God,ā€™ he says, sounding shocked, and I instantly panic. ā€˜What?ā€™ ā€˜What are those?ā€™ he shouts, throwing his hands down to point at my feet, and everyone within a hundred metre radius turns to look at us. ā€˜Joon!ā€™ I exclaim, embarrassed at him grabbing so much attention. ā€˜Sorry. But seriously? What are those?ā€™ he asks, and I look down at my shoes. ā€˜Theyā€™re sock boots. Whatā€™s wrong with them?ā€™ I ask, and he stares at them before taking a step back and looking me up and down. ā€˜Nothing. They look great. Iā€™m just shocked to see you in shoes other than trainers. And is that a handbag I see instead of the usual backpacks?ā€™ he teases, and I roll my eyes. We walk towards the entrance, and I struggle to keep up with him (I always struggle when walking next to him, but even more so in these boots). ā€˜Wait,ā€™ I say, hooking my arm through his so I can slow him down, and he laughs. ā€˜Aww, struggling in your boots?ā€™ he teases, and I huff. ā€˜Shut up,ā€™ I pout, and he laughs again, looking at me with an affectionate gaze and an amused smile.
But the affection and amusement soon disappears. ā€˜y/n. Youā€™re literally killing me here. Hurry up,ā€™ he says impatiently. ā€˜Sorry, Joon. Itā€™s my first time wearing heels though, cut me some slack. At least I havenā€™t fallen over,ā€™ I say brightly, trying to put a positive spin on it, and he scowls. Heā€™s been trying his best to walk slow but heā€™s now struggling not to walk at his normal pace ā€“ his legs are so much longer than mine. ā€˜Yet,ā€™ he says venomously, and I gasp. ā€˜Was that a threat?ā€™ I demand, feigning indignance, and he side-eyes me. ā€˜Maybe it was. I could stick my foot out right now and no one would ever know,ā€™ he says in a wistful tone, and I shoot him a dirty look. ā€˜Iā€™ll step on your foot if you try it. Then whoā€™ll be laughing when my boots ruin your Balenciagas?ā€™ ā€˜Me, because youā€™ll be buying me new ones.ā€™ ā€˜With what money? I ainā€™t got money like that.ā€™ ā€˜Oh, but you got money for clothes?ā€™ ā€˜I always got money for clothes.ā€™ ā€˜Get a sugar daddy.ā€™ ā€˜You are my sugar daddy.ā€™ ā€˜Huh?ā€™ ā€˜Who takes me out for food at least twice a week? And buys me things out of the blue?ā€™ ā€˜Damn. I really am your sugar daddy. This isnā€™t a good deal for me at all. Youā€™re getting the daddy, but Iā€™m not getting any sugar.ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™m not sure that that means exactly what you intended it to mean.ā€™ ā€˜You know what I meant. I want my sugar, bitch.ā€™ ā€˜Jen can give you sugar instead.ā€™ ā€˜Okay, but Jen isnā€™t getting the daddy. You are.ā€™ ā€˜She was getting the daddy last night.ā€™ ā€˜Did you really just refer to my dick as ā€˜the daddyā€™?ā€™ ā€˜Yes.ā€™ ā€˜Never do that again.ā€™
ā€˜Where are we eating?ā€™ I ask, and he grins. ā€˜Wang and Nayeon are waiting for us at Red Velvet,ā€™ he says, and I gasp. ā€˜Yes! Itā€™s been so long since weā€™ve been to Red Velvet!ā€™ I exclaim, and he laughs amusedly. ā€˜I know. I was worried you might start getting withdrawal symptoms.ā€™ ā€˜I thought weā€™d never go back. Does Seulgi still work there?ā€™ I ask, raising an eyebrow, and he pulls a face. ā€˜Yep,ā€™ he says, and I feel my eyes widen. ā€˜And weā€™re still gonna go?ā€™ ā€˜Yes, because Iā€™m a great person and make sacrifices for you even though all you do is abuse me and threaten to ruin my Balenciagas,ā€™ he says, and I pout. ā€˜Sorry, Joonie,ā€™ I say, putting on a baby voice as I give him puppy dog eyes, and he refuses to look at me, fighting a smile off his face. ā€˜Apology accepted. Now stop being the real-life version of that emoji.ā€™ ā€˜Which one?ā€™ ā€˜Donā€™t play dumb, you know exactly which one I mean.ā€™
We round the corner to where Red Velvet is, tucked away from the rest of the shopping centre, and Nayeon and Jackson are sat in the window booth, watching a video on Nayeonā€™s phone together. When Namjoon and I enter, the little bell above the door rings, and both of them look up at us. Nayeon grins so wide Iā€™m worried her face is going to split, and Jackson does a double take, eyes wider than an anime girlā€™s. ā€˜y/n?ā€™ he exclaims, loud enough to catch the attention of everyone in the restaurant, and I shoot him a look, shushing him. ā€˜Oh, my God. Whatā€™s happened to you? Whoā€™s this sexy thing?ā€™ Jackson says as I slide into the booth opposite him and Nayeon, shuddering at the thought of my bare legs on the worn (and most likely, germ-carrying) leather of the seat as Namjoon slides in beside me. ā€˜Donā€™t refer to me as a ā€˜thingā€™, Iā€™m not an object,ā€™ I mutter, but my comment is ignored when Namjoon says, ā€˜literally my exact reaction.ā€™ ā€˜No, it wasnā€™t. You did not call me sexy,ā€™ I frown, and he blinks at me, looking surprised. ā€˜Did I not?ā€™ he asks, and I shake my head. ā€˜Well, I thought you wouldā€™ve gathered that I thought that anyway. Based on the way I had to pick my tongue up from the floor when I saw you,ā€™ he says, Jackson and Nayeon laughing as I roll my eyes.
ā€˜You look good. Really good, y/n. I didnā€™t know you had boobs,ā€™ Jackson says, inspecting me, and I try not to squirm under his scrutinising gaze. ā€˜Neither did I! Until I walked in on her naked!ā€™ Nayeon says, Jacksonā€™s eyes nearly falling out of his head. ā€˜I was in my underwear,ā€™ I say defensively, and Nayeon rolls her eyes. ā€˜Details. But, yeah, after I saw her hot bod, I told her to stop wearing Billie Eilishā€™s hand-me-downs.ā€™ ā€˜And gave her your hand-me-downs instead?ā€™ ā€˜Excuse me, these are brand new,ā€™ I point out, and Nayeon nods. ā€˜Yeah. You should know me better. I could never pull off an outfit like that.ā€™ ā€˜I could pull it off you,ā€™ Jackson jokes, Namjoon fist-bumping him as they laugh, Nayeon and I exchanging an exasperated glance. ā€˜I could pull it off you too, y/n,ā€™ Jackson says with a little quirk of his eyebrow, and I roll my eyes, willing myself not to blush. ā€˜Jackson! y/nā€™s our baby, and weā€™ve gotta protect her from fuckboys, so stop being one,ā€™ Nayeon says with a slap to his shoulder. ā€˜There wonā€™t be anyā€¦ fuckboys,ā€™ I say, and all three of them raise their eyebrows at me. ā€˜Youā€™re delusional if you think that. Just wait ā€˜til a frat boy sees you,ā€™ Jackson says, and I frown. ā€˜Okay. That sounds fake, but, okay,ā€™ I say, just as Seulgi appears to take our order.
ā€˜Hi, and welcome to Red Velvet. What can I get for you?ā€™ she says in the most bored tone Iā€™ve ever heard. She must really hate her job. Even more with this moron sat beside me in here. ā€˜Can I get the Ice Cream Cake freakshake please?ā€™ Nayeon asks, Seulgi gracing her with a rare smile as she writes down her order. ā€˜Can I get the Power Up brownie with Red Flavour ice cream please? And just water?ā€™ Jackson asks, also getting a smile. ā€˜Can I get the Cookie Jar freakshake? And sheā€™ll have Mojito cheesecake with Blue Lemonade. Thanks,ā€™ Namjoon says, ordering for me too, but, unsurprisingly, he doesnā€™t get a smile. ā€˜Will you all be paying together?ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™m paying for mine and his,ā€™ Nayeon says, pointing at herself and Jackson (she lost a bet with him a couple weeks ago, and owes him a meal). ā€˜And Iā€™m paying for mine and hers,ā€™ Namjoon says, Seulgi fixing him with a dirty look. ā€˜So this is who youā€™ve moved on to now?ā€™ she demands, Nayeon and Jackson wincing. ā€˜Sis, you can have him,ā€™ I say, unable to resist, and Namjoon shoots me evils as Seulgi looks bewildered. ā€˜Pardon?ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™m good, luv. Enjoy,ā€™ I say, but sheā€™s still staring at me, her mouth suddenly falling open. ā€˜y/n?ā€™ she asks, and I nod, slightly confused. ā€˜OMG, I didnā€™t even recognise you. Girl, you look so good! I didnā€™t know you had boobs!ā€™ she exclaims, and I have to stop myself from facepalming. ā€˜Thanks, Seulgi,ā€™ I force out between gritted teeth, embarrassed as hell, but she doesnā€™t seem to notice, grinning away obliviously. ā€˜No problem. Iā€™ll just get your orders put through and then Iā€™ll come back for payments,ā€™ she says, visibly perkier (nothing like seeing one of your friends unrecognisable after a makeover to cure a bad mood ā€“ apparently), before disappearing.
ā€˜That was awkward,ā€™ Namjoon says nonchalantly, all three of us fixing him with hard stares. ā€˜It wouldnā€™t have been so awkward if you werenā€™t such a dick,ā€™ I say blithely, and he gasps dramatically. ā€˜Excuse me?ā€™ ā€˜Donā€™t play innocent, dumbass. If you hadnā€™t had slept with Joy and Seulgi on the same day, we wouldnā€™t be in this situation. Weā€™d actually have avoided a lot of situations if you werenā€™t such a dog,ā€™ Nayeon says, brutally honest as ever. ā€˜Hey, I never made any kind of commitment to either of them!ā€™ Namjoon defends himself, both Nayeon and I shaking our heads at him. ā€˜Itā€™s common courtesy, douchebag,ā€™ I reply, Namjoon sticking his tongue out at me. ā€˜Iā€™d like to know what situations youā€™re referring to. I donā€™t get us into awkward situations,ā€™ he says, all three of us giving him a ā€˜really?ā€™ look.
ā€˜Remember when we went out to that bar ā€“ what was it called again? Oh, yeah, Playing With Fire ā€“ and Jisoo threw that drink at you for blocking her on socials after you slept together?ā€™ Jackson reminds us, Namjoon nodding slightly embarrassedly. ā€˜Oh, and when we went to Breakthrough, that club, and Sana got us kicked out by pretending we smuggled drugs in because you ghosted her after telling her you felt ā€˜something realā€™ for her?ā€™ Nayeon brings up, all of us looking pointedly at Namjoon who nods sheepishly. ā€˜And that fight you got into with Daniel after you went ā€˜round telling people that Jihyoā€™s your sloppy seconds?ā€™ I say, and he gasps indignantly. ā€˜I didnā€™t say that once!ā€™ ā€˜Still. If you hadnā€™t had slept with her, that fake rumour wouldnā€™t have gone around,ā€™ I say, and he pouts. ā€˜We could name several girls youā€™ve gotten us into awkward situations with. Chaeyoung, Hyejin, Wendy, Dahyun-ā€™ ā€˜Okay, okay, damn. I get the picture,ā€™ he says, the three of us exchanging looks.
ā€˜Anyway, I need to go toilet. Come with me, y/n?ā€™ Nayeon asks, and I nod. Namjoon sighs, reluctantly getting out of the booth to let me out. ā€˜Whoa, hold on,ā€™ Jackson says, and I turn around to face him. ā€˜y/nā€¦ what you doing out here with all this ass?ā€™ he asks, voice far too loud for my liking, and the few people in the restaurant turn to look at us disapprovingly. ā€˜Double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon!ā€™ Namjoon exclaims, before they chorus, ā€˜Hella ass!ā€™ They burst into laughter, and my face is on fire, everybody in the restaurant staring at us (or, more specifically, my ass). ā€˜y/n, you dumb thicc, sis,ā€™ Jackson says, and I take a deep breath before saying, ā€˜Iā€™m going to go to the toilet now.ā€™ ā€˜Take some ass pics while youā€™re there!ā€™

Tumblr media
ā€˜Wrong number,ā€™ he says when he answers the phone, and I roll my eyes. ā€˜Weā€™re at the door, come get us,ā€™ I say, and he lets out a loud sigh. ā€˜Iā€™m gonna lose my seat,ā€™ he complains, and I huff. ā€˜Joon, please come get us. Do you know what itā€™s like being a girl around dozens of frat boys? You need to look after us,ā€™ I plead, and he sighs again. ā€˜Give me a minute,ā€™ he replies before the line clicks off. ā€˜Is he coming?ā€™ Nayeon asks, and I nod. ā€˜Good, because itā€™s freezing,ā€™ she says, clutching at her bare arms. ā€˜Thatā€™s what you get for wearing a t-shirt,ā€™ I say, and she rolls her eyes. ā€˜Itā€™s not like youā€™re dressed warmly either,ā€™ she says pointedly, and I raise an eyebrow. ā€˜Iā€™m not complaining about the cold.ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, which Iā€™m surprised about, because that top is thin as hell.ā€™ ā€˜Itā€™s not that thin.ā€™ ā€˜Sis, I borrowed that top yesterday ā€“ itā€™s thin.ā€™
Iā€™m dressed in a black long-sleeve top tucked into a pair of greyish-whiteish joggers, with white trainers on my feet, a simple gold necklace around my neck with an initial pendant, a couple gold bracelets on my wrist and gold rings on my fingers. Nayeonā€™s in a pair of blue mom jeans and a black t-shirt, a cross body bag with both of our things inside it on her shoulder. Neither of us have bothered with full faces or pretty hairstyles ā€“ weā€™ve both got on basic makeup with our hair out and natural. It isnā€™t really that cold; itā€™s 8, and the air is starting to get crisp and cool, but the sunā€™s only just beginning to set, so thereā€™s still a little warmth. Nayeonā€™s just a drama queen.
The door opens after a few seconds, Namjoon glowering at us, before he looks me up and down, his frown being replaced with a smirk. ā€˜Have I told you I love this new y/n? Likeā€¦ this is a look,ā€™ he says, and I grin at him, feeling a little more confident now. ā€˜Iā€™m stood right here,ā€™ Nayeon says with a half-hearted scowl, and Namjoon grins, grabbing her hand and pulling her into a side hug. ā€˜Nayeon, me complimenting you is like complimenting Mona Lisa. She already knew she was sexy as hell so whatā€™s the point?ā€™ he says easily, Nayeon preening as I roll my eyes. ā€˜You think Mona Lisaā€™s sexy?ā€™ ā€˜Not as sexy as you.ā€™ ā€˜Can we go inside? Iā€™m cold,ā€™ Nayeon says, not waiting for either of us to reply before she slips past Namjoon into the house. ā€˜Come on,ā€™ Namjoon says, grabbing my hand and pulling me along behind him.
The second we step into the living room, the smell of strong cologne, alcohol and weed hits me and all eyes flit from Nayeon ā€“ whoā€™s hugging Jinyoung and squealing ā€“ to me and Joon. Well, more me than Joon. ā€˜Woah. Whoā€™s this? Surely not y/n,ā€™ I hear Hoseok say, and I shoot him a dirty look, the boy grinning in return. ā€˜Shut it, stupid,ā€™ I say, Namjoon continuing to walk towards the kitchen, dragging me along behind him. When we step into the kitchen, the smell of spicy wings hits me, and my eyes are instantly drawn to the takeout bags covering the countertop. But when I realise none of the bags are unopened, meaning frat boys have already been at them, it puts me off a little ā€“ Iā€™d rather not eat food that might have been tampered with.
ā€˜Look. My seatā€™s taken,ā€™ Namjoon says pointedly, motioning to where Kai sits on a stool, beside Taemin and Seokwoo, the three of them laughing at whatever story Jaehyunā€™s telling them. ā€˜Youā€™ll survive. Whatā€™s the point of having such long legs if you donā€™t stand on them?ā€™ ā€˜Thereā€™s no logic in that. Go get my seat back,ā€™ he says, and I side-eye him, wondering if heā€™s being serious or not. ā€˜How am I supposed to get your seat back?ā€™ ā€˜Go flirt with him.ā€™ ā€˜No! Him and Krystal have got a thing,ā€™ I say, and Namjoon rolls his eyes. ā€˜That wonā€™t stop him from flirting back,ā€™ he says, and I glare at him. ā€˜I cannot stress this enough. Men are trash,ā€™ I say before turning away from him, heading towards where thereā€™s a couple dozen drink bottles and cups covering the countertop. I carefully pour myself a lemonade, making sure the cupā€™s clean and the bottle hasnā€™t been tampered with (I know Wing Wednesday is ā€˜for the boysā€™ so itā€™s unlikely itā€™s spiked, but it never hurts to take precautions).
ā€˜y/n!ā€™ I hear Mina exclaim, and I turn to see her stood there, smiling widely. ā€˜Mina!ā€™ I squeal, pulling the girl into a hug. Minaā€™s one of Nayeonā€™s friends (theyā€™re on the same course) but because Nayeon and I are inseparable, Nayeonā€™s friends are my friends too. Minaā€™s here because sheā€™s dating Bambam, a KPN frat boy, and it makes me realise my privilege; Nayeon and I are only here because of our connections. If we werenā€™t best friends with Jackson and Namjoon, weā€™d have missed out on so many amazing memories. ā€˜How have you been? I havenā€™t seen you for ages!ā€™ she says as we break apart, and I grin widely. ā€˜Iā€™ve been good. Really good.ā€™ ā€˜You look it. This style is, like, amazing! Is this new style permanent?ā€™ she asks, and I smile shyly. ā€˜I think so. I actuallyā€¦ really like my new style,ā€™ I say, and before Mina can speak, I hear Baekhyun say, ā€˜I like it too.ā€™ Mina and I both turn to look at him, his stupid grin making me roll my eyes amusedly. ā€˜Hey, Baek,ā€™ I say, the boy opening his arms for a hug, which I give (reluctantly). Baekhyun is Nayeonā€™s ex. Theyā€™re still friends ā€“ theyā€™re actually on really good terms ā€“ but Iā€™m stillā€¦ cautious around him. Heā€™s funny, and we get along, but I can never see him the same after hearing all the drama from Nayeon.
I clear myself a space on the countertop and boost myself up, sitting on the hard wood surface and Mina joins me, Baekhyun standing in front of us. ā€˜Have you had any wings?ā€™ Baekhyun asks, and Mina and I exchange a glance, obviously thinking the same thing. ā€˜No, Iā€™mā€¦ not really feeling wings,ā€™ I say, Mina nodding in agreement, letting out little giggles behind her hand. ā€˜Arenā€™t you hungry?ā€™ he asks, and, to be honest, Iā€™m starving. But I am not about to eat thoseā€¦ frat boy wings, and neither is Mina. ā€˜Yeah, I could eat.ā€™ ā€˜Letā€™s order some pizza then,ā€™ he grins, and I gasp. ā€˜Pizza? On Wings Wednesday? Isnā€™t that against frat laws?ā€™ I tease, and he rolls his eyes, pulling out his phone. ā€˜What toppings do you have?ā€™ ā€˜Just get margherita.ā€™ ā€˜Shall I get two larges?ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, Nayeon will want some too,ā€™ I say, and he rolls his eyes again, an amused smile on his face. ā€˜Iā€™m not ordering pizza for Nayeon ā€“ Iā€™m ordering it for us.ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™ll transfer you the money.ā€™ ā€˜y/nā€¦ itā€™s pizza. You donā€™t need to transfer me money for it.ā€™ ā€˜Why not? I donā€™t mind paying.ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, but what kind of gentleman would I be if I made you payā€™ ā€˜Youā€™re not a gentleman,ā€™ I reply amusedly, and he clutches his heart, pretending to be hurt. ā€˜I am.ā€™ ā€˜Youā€™re not. And youā€™ve made me pay for food before. Remember the Chinese we ordered after the LSG party, and you made me answer the door, so I had to pay?ā€™ I say, and he winces. ā€˜Wellā€¦ the pizza makes up for it,ā€™ he says, and I just raise an eyebrow, amused.
Itā€™s soā€¦ wrong that heā€™s only willing to pay for food for me now that he finds me attractive, but I wonā€™t complain aloud; itā€™s free food after all. And then it gets me thinking. Maybe I shouldā€¦ take advantage of the effect my new lookā€™s having. I mean, frat boys arenā€™t theā€¦ smartest, are they? Namjoon may be an exception when it comes to his education, but his common sense? He has next to none, demonstrated by the stupid situations his whore behaviour has gotten us into. And the rest of them are even stupider than him. Iā€™ve always been a master of manipulation, and itā€™ll be even easier now they think Iā€™m hot.
It isnā€™t long until the pizzas arrive and the second Baekhyun leaves to collect them at the door, Mina turns to me with a grin. ā€˜Girl, if you donā€™t take advantage of all these boys thirsting over you, I swear, Iā€™ll be so disappointed,ā€™ she says, making me burst into laughter. ā€˜I was literally just thinking about doing it!ā€™ I exclaim, both of us laughing. ā€˜No, but for real. You should, like, make the most of it while it lasts. Not to sound nasty, but you know it wonā€™t be long until thereā€™s another girl theyā€™re all into. You should exploit this opportunity whilst youā€™re still theā€¦ object of the affections,ā€™ she says, making me laugh. ā€˜Exploit this opportunity?ā€™ I repeat, and she nods with a grin. ā€˜Their generosity will only go to a certain extent,ā€™ I say, and she raises an eyebrow. ā€˜Wanna test that?ā€™ she asks, a challenging glint in her eye, and I grin, nodding. ā€˜Go look in the fridge, and when youā€™re asked what youā€™re looking for, sayā€¦ Vanilla Coke.ā€™ ā€˜Vanilla Coke?ā€™ ā€˜Mmhmm.ā€™ ā€˜Okay.ā€™
I head over to the drinks fridge (they keep their food in the mini fridge and their drinks in the big fridge ā€“ their priorities are so fucked up) and open the door. I scan the bottles, seeing mainly lemonade and coke with a couple alcoholic bottles, but no Vanilla Coke. ā€˜y/n!ā€™ I hear from behind me, and I turn to see Donghyuck stood there, a big grin on his face. ā€˜Hyuck! Hey!ā€™ I exclaim, throwing my arms around him. Donghyuck and I did extra credit classes together last year, and Iā€™ve barely seen him since. ā€˜You look so different!ā€™ he says, holding me away to inspect me, hands light on my shoulders, and I grin, bending one leg at the knee and striking a pose, making him laugh. ā€˜Itā€™s weird to see you in clothes that fit,ā€™ he teases, and I roll my eyes. ā€˜Donā€™t even. Everyoneā€™s making such a big deal of it.ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, because you look hot.ā€™ ā€˜Whatever.ā€™
I turn back to the fridge, and he comes to stand beside me. ā€˜Whatcha looking for?ā€™ ā€˜Vanilla Coke. Iā€™m, like craving it,ā€™ I lie, and he raises an eyebrow. ā€˜Youā€™re lucky weā€™ve got lemonade and coke. KPN stick to basics,ā€™ he says, and I roll my eyes. ā€˜Well, maybe you shouldnā€™t. Vanilla Coke is amazing.ā€™ ā€˜Well, the corner shop down the road might have some. Shall we go get some?ā€™ he suggests, and Iā€™m shocked. Mina was right. Heā€™s willing the leave Wings Wednesday with his frat brothers to go get Vanilla Coke from the shop with me. ā€˜You sure?ā€™ I ask, and he nods. ā€˜Itā€™s only a two-minute walk.ā€™ ā€˜Okay. Letā€™s g-ā€™ ā€˜y/n!ā€™ I hear Mina call before materialising next to me. ā€˜Hey, Mina,ā€™ I say, Donghyuck greeting the girl too. ā€˜Hey, Hyuck. Iā€™m need to steal y/n. Emergency,ā€™ she says, and my eyes widen. Iā€™ve literally left her alone for a minute. What emergency does she have? ā€˜You okay?ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, itā€™s justā€¦ I started. Do you have a pad?ā€™ she whispers, loud enough for Donghyuck to hear, the boy wrinkling his nose in disgust, making me roll my eyes. Why boys are so grossed out about periods, I donā€™t know. It took two entire years of friendship with Namjoon to get him to buy me some pads. ā€˜Yeah, I do.ā€™ ā€˜Will you come to the toilet with me?ā€™ she asks, and I nod, apologising to Donghyuck before Mina drags me out of the kitchen, through the living room and upstairs.
ā€˜Oh, shit! My pads are in Nayeonā€™s bag,ā€™ I say when we reach the top of the stairs, and Mina lets out an annoyed noise. ā€˜I donā€™t actually need a pad, stupid! I was just getting you away from him,ā€™ she whispers before pulling me into the bathroom. ā€˜What? Why?ā€™ ā€˜Because now heā€™ll go get your Vanilla Coke from the shop and you wonā€™t have to go with him,ā€™ she says, and I raise an eyebrow. ā€˜Are you kidding? Heā€™s not gonna go.ā€™ ā€˜Yes, he will,ā€™ she says, before letting out an exasperated sigh. ā€˜Remember when I stayed home for a few months, because I wasnā€™t well?ā€™ she asks, and I nod ā€“ Nayeon was heartbroken that she didnā€™t have Mina to gossip with in her lectures. ā€˜When I came back, all the boys were fussing over me. Trust me; he will go and get that coke.ā€™
We spend a couple minutes in the bathroom, reapplying our lipgloss and fixing our hair, before we head back downstairs, quickly grabbing two of the empty stools in the kitchen, Bambam sat next to Mina and Namjoon sat next to me, chatting with Minho about football strategy for their next match. ā€˜y/n!ā€™ I hear Donghyuckā€™s voice after a few minutes, making me stop mid-conversation with Yugyeom about dessert on Monday at Red Velvet (it was so good, I canā€™t stop thinking about it ā€“ I might have to drag Namjoon back there this weekend). I turn to see him stood at the door, holding up a bottle of Vanilla Coke, and I have to stifle a laugh, pushing down guilt. ā€˜Oh, my God, thank you, Hyuck! Youā€™re the best!ā€™ I exclaim, giving the boy a hug before he disappears to find me a clean cup. ā€˜I was right,ā€™ Mina says with a grin. ā€˜I feel bad.ā€™ ā€˜Donā€™t. You didnā€™t make him get it.ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, but Iā€™m not even gonna drink it. I donā€™t like Vanilla Coke.ā€™ ā€˜Well, itā€™s a good thing I do.ā€™

ā€˜Hi, welcome to Starbucks! What can I get you?ā€™ the barista asks, smiling widely. Heā€™s handsome, with dirty blond hair pulled back into a ponytail and sparkling brown eyes, and I canā€™t help but smile back. ā€˜Hi, can I get two large iced vanilla lattes please?ā€™ I ask, the boy nodding as he clicks away at the register. My eyes flit to his little name tag. His name is Hyunjin. Cute. ā€˜What name shall I put on the cups?ā€™ he asks, eyes sparkling when he looks back up at me, and I smile shyly when I say, ā€˜y/n.ā€™ ā€˜Pretty name for a pretty girl,ā€™ he replies, not giving me a moment to process the compliment before he says, ā€˜thatā€™ll be Ā£7.40. Cash or card?ā€™ ā€˜Card,ā€™ a voice behind me says, and I turn to see Jaemin stood there, smiling. ā€˜Can I add a large iced americano to that too?ā€™ he says, holding up his card, and Hyunjin nods, tapping at the register. ā€˜Jaemin, donā€™t. Iā€™ll pay,ā€™ I say, though itā€™s Namjoonā€™s money in my hand, not my own. ā€˜Itā€™s fine, y/n. I donā€™t mind,ā€™ he says with a grin, and I smile back, touched.
Jaemin moves around me to pay for the three drinks, and I feel a little awkward, stood behind him, waiting. ā€˜How have you been, y/n?ā€™ he asks once heā€™s paid, and I smile. ā€˜Iā€™ve been really good, thanks. How about you?ā€™ ā€˜Yeah, great. You lookā€¦ different since the last time I saw you,ā€™ he says with a little smirk, and I roll my eyes, an amused smile playing at my lips. ā€˜Iā€™m assuming that was a compliment.ā€™ ā€˜Of course. How could it be anything other than a compliment when the ā€˜differentā€™ Iā€™m talking about is this?ā€™ he says with a flirty grin, motioning to my outfit (a pair of tight black cargo trousers and a long-sleeved black top, big black stomper boots on my feet and silver jewellery).
Jaemin flirts with me for a little while, but his americano is ready before mine and Joonā€™s lattes and he has a lecture at 3.30, so he leaves with the promise of continuing our conversation at the ASP party tomorrow, which I had no idea about. ā€˜y/n!ā€™ Hyunjin calls and I go over to grab the lattes. I notice a caramel shortbread on a plate beside the cups, and I look up at him questioningly, the boy grinning back. ā€˜Itā€™s on the house,ā€™ he says, and I canā€™t help but let out a giggle, flattered. ā€˜Thank you.ā€™ ā€˜No problemā€¦ y/n. Iā€™m a student, at the university, and I heard yourā€¦ friend talking about the party tomorrow. Iā€™ll be there, and itā€™d be nice to see you,ā€™ he says, smiling as he leans against the counter casually, my heart jumping. Heā€™s hot, heā€™s confident and heā€™s sweet ā€“ I could definitely see myself getting to know him. ā€˜Yeah, itā€™d be nice to see you too,ā€™ I reply shyly, breaking off our eye contact after a few seconds. ā€˜See you tomorrow then,ā€™ he grins before turning to deal with the next customer.
I carefully take the lattes and the shortbread over to mine and Joonā€™s table in the corner, the boy instantly biting into the shortbread. ā€˜That is mine.ā€™ ā€˜I paid for your coffee, so I can have a bite of your shortbread,ā€™ he says, mouth full of food, and I scrunch my nose up in disgust, sitting down opposite him. ā€˜No, actually, you didnā€™t. Ā Jaemin did,ā€™ I say, dropping Joonā€™s money on the table in front of him, and he frowns. ā€˜Whoā€™s Jaemin? The cute barista you were just flirting with?ā€™ he asks drily as he picks up one of the coffees, taking a sip. ā€˜No, his nameā€™s Hyunjin. And I wasnā€™t flirting with him,ā€™ I say, embarrassed, and he raises an eyebrow. ā€˜Then whatā€™s this?ā€™ he asks, holding his cup out to me. I canā€™t hold back my smile when I see that Hyunjinā€™s written his number on the label with a smiley face beside it. ā€˜Exactly what I thought. Anywayā€¦ whoā€™s Jaemin?ā€™ ā€˜KPN Jaemin. He was behind me in the queue and he paid for our drinks. And then Hyunjin gave me the shortbread for free,ā€™ I say, and Joon narrows his eyes at me.
ā€˜I canā€™t believe youā€™re making these boys do all these things for you.ā€™ ā€˜Theyā€™re doing it voluntarily ā€“ Iā€™m not making them do anything!ā€™ ā€˜So you didnā€™t make Donghyuck get your Vanilla Coke on Wednesday?ā€™ ā€˜No, he choose to go get it!ā€™ ā€˜Well, youā€™re putting Tia and Tamera to good use.ā€™ ā€˜Tia and Tamera?ā€™ I ask, confused, and he points at my chest. ā€˜Tiaā€¦ and Tamera,ā€™ he says, naming each boob, ā€˜donā€™t you listen to Doja Cat?ā€™ ā€˜Not religiously ā€“ Say Soā€™s the only song of hers on my Spotify.ā€™ ā€˜Tasteless.ā€™ ā€˜Youā€™re tasteless for accusing me of using my boobs to manipulate boys,ā€™ I hiss, and he rolls his eyes. ā€˜Did I lie?ā€™ ā€˜Yes!ā€™ ā€˜Okay, maybe I did. Itā€™s not just Tia and Tamera. Itā€™s Tia and Tamera andā€¦ Nicole!ā€™ he says, and I blink in confusion. ā€˜Nicole?ā€™ ā€˜Use your brain.ā€™ ā€˜Did you just name my ass Nicole?ā€™ I ask incredulously, and he nods, seemingly proud of himself. ā€˜People look at it more than they look at your face, so I think it deserves naming,ā€™ he says bitterly, and I gasp. ā€˜That was low. People look at my face. Iā€™m not just my body. My face is pretty too,ā€™ I say coldly, a little hurt, and he looks guilty. ā€˜Well, of course your face is pretty, I just-ā€™ ā€˜You just what? Judged me, even though youā€™ve slept with more girls than Iā€™ve ever been friends with? Just remember that thereā€™s a lot youā€™ve done that I could judge you on, but I donā€™t, because weā€™re best friends.ā€™
The air is tense after I finish speaking, and I feel sick. Joon and I have never argued. Our friendship has always been so laidback, so chill, so easy. Iā€™ve never had any downs in my friendship with him because we get along so well. But Iā€™m surprised at him being so judgmental, and soā€¦ douchey about me getting some male attention for the first time inā€¦ well, forever. ā€˜Sorry, y/n. Iā€™m being a dick,ā€™ he says softly, and I can see that he feels guilty. I decide itā€™s best to end our argument here, because this isnā€™t a nice feeling. ā€˜Whatever, itā€™s fine, Joon. Anywayā€¦ you didnā€™t tell me ASP are having a party tomorrow! Am I not invited?ā€™ I tease, and he grins, the tension between us gone. ā€˜No, youā€™re not. Iā€™m tired of you being so dependent on me.ā€™ ā€˜Shut it. Youā€™d be lost without me.ā€™ ā€˜Whatever. I was supposed to tell you about it at KPN, but I barely got to speak to you. You wereā€¦ popular that night,ā€™ he says quietly, not meeting my eyes, and suddenly, I can feel the awkwardness making a reappearance. ā€˜Ah, well, I guess thereā€™s no point asking you to take me to Red Velvet then,ā€™ I say wistfully, trying to change the subject, and he rolls his eyes. ā€˜Ask Wang, heā€™ll take you.ā€™ ā€˜No, itā€™s fine. I donā€™t wanna be bloated at the party. We can reschedule to Sunday ā€“ order some for a hangover cure. Can I sleep over?ā€™ I ask, and he nods, smiling to himself. ā€˜You and Nayeon are always welcome. Thereā€™s enough bed space for the three of us.ā€™ ā€˜You say that, and yet, you end up on the floor with us two in your bed every time.ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™ll climb in with you while youā€™re asleep.ā€™ ā€˜Isnā€™t that illegal?ā€™ ā€˜Shut up and eat your shortbread. Or do you not wanna be bloated?ā€™ ā€˜Matter of fact, youā€™re right. These cargo trousers are already tight.ā€™ ā€˜Thatā€™s because youā€™ve got a fat ass.ā€™

Tumblr media
ā€˜y/n! y/n! y/n!ā€™ ā€˜Oh, my God, Nayeon, youā€™re like a child! Iā€™m mid-conversation!ā€™ ā€˜I know, but this is important!ā€™ she says, tugging on the strap of my top, her force nearly making me spill my drink down my outfit. I thought Iā€™d dress simple, in just a black strappy lowcut crop top and a pair of ripped blue jeans, fluffy black slides on my feet and simple gold jewellery to accessorise. ā€˜Sorry, Dahyun,ā€™ I sigh with a roll of my eyes, the girl grinning back. ā€˜Itā€™s fine ā€“ go deal with your important business,ā€™ she laughs, and Nayeon takes this as a signal to drag me into the kitchen, leaving Dahyun alone in the back garden. ā€˜What is it?ā€™ I ask, and she grins. ā€˜I found your cute barista boy! Well, I think so, anyway. Not many boys have dirty blond ponytails.ā€™ ā€˜Ohā€¦ okay.ā€™ ā€˜Arenā€™t you excited?ā€™ ā€˜I think youā€™re excited enough for both of us.ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™m serious, y/n! I saw him, and heā€™s really hot! Youā€™ve been texting all day, and you said heā€™s really sweet. He could be your first boyfriend!ā€™ ā€˜Nayeon, youā€™re getting ahead of yourself ā€“ Iā€™ve literally known him forā€¦ 32 hours. And I donā€™t even know him, really. All I know is his name and that he works at Starbucks.ā€™ ā€˜Wellā€¦ this is your chance to get to know him. Heā€™s with his friends in the living room ā€“ go,ā€™ she says, not giving me a chance to reply before she pushes me through the open door.
He spots me instantly, calling my name, and I scan the room until my eyes meet his, smiles breaking across our faces as he waves me over. I head around the edges of the room, not wanting to get caught in the group of people dancing, until I reach him and his friends in the corner. ā€˜Hey, y/n! You look nice!ā€™ he exclaims, smiling widely, and I feel butterflies; he really is so handsome. ā€˜Thanks, Hyunjin. You do, too,ā€™ I say honestly, looking him up and down; his black jeans, loose blue and white striped shirt only buttoned halfway with a black t-shirt beneath are a chic and stylish contrast to the Starbucks apron he was wearing yesterday. Half of his hair is up in a ponytail with a few loose strands framing his face and his ears are adorned with earrings, sparkling in the low light. He introduces me to his friends, who all seem nice (I think Iā€™ve seen a few of them before ā€“ Iā€™m sure a couple of them are KPN frat brothers). As soon as the introductions are done, he asks if Iā€™ll go with him to get a drink. He takes my hand gently ā€“ a shock running up my arm at the contact ā€“ and leads me into the kitchen, getting himself a bottle of Soju from the fridge. ā€˜Do you want one?ā€™ he asks, and I scrunch up my nose ā€“ I find Soju absolutely disgusting. ā€˜Thanks, but Iā€™ll stick to my vodka coke for now,ā€™ I say, holding up my cup, the boy laughing as he nods, shutting the fridge after him.
We stand in one corner of the kitchen, chatting, and our conversation flows so easily. Heā€™s an architecture and design major, but he does dance on the side too, with some of his friends. I ask him to tell me the basic things about him and I find out that he has a dog called Kkami, he loves autumn, heā€™s allergic to cat fur, his favourite food is sushi and his least favourite foods are onion, carrot and eggplant. Even though heā€™s so handsome (like intimidatingly handsome), heā€™s so modest, down-to-earth, and just so sweet. Heā€™s like a breath of fresh air in comparison to the boys I spend time with on a daily basis (no shade to Jackson and Joon, but theyā€™re nowhere near as gentlemanly as Hyunjin ā€“ he gets me two refills before I even realise that my cup is empty, and he gets me two slices of pizza as soon as it arrives because I mentioned I hadnā€™t eaten). I can already feel myself crushing on him; every time he compliments me, I get so flustered and all I can do is giggle ā€“ two weeks ago me would have hated now me.
After what could be hours (Iā€™m having the time of my life chatting away to him), he asks me to dance with him, and Iā€™m filled with an inexplicable fear. Actually, no. Itā€™s explicable; I have never danced at a party before. Ever. ā€˜Itā€™s okayā€¦ I wonā€™t bite,ā€™ he teases, and I take a deep breath, smiling as I nod. He takes my hand again, his touch so light and gentle, and instead of pulling me along behind him, he lets me go first, standing just a few inches behind me as we head into the living room. We mould into the group of our peers dancing, and I feel a little awkward at first, but I soon loosen up into the rhythm of the Rihanna and Bryson Tiller song pulsing out into the room. Heā€™s really the perfect gentleman; he doesnā€™t lay a hand on me other than to move me out of the way when someone drunk stumbles past. Itā€™s a nice change from the boys that donā€™t hesitate to just come up behind a girl and grab onto her waist, forcing himself onto her.
But after a while, I can feel the several vodka cokes starting to take effect, my mind a little hazy, and a tipsy y/n mixed with the RnB baselines floating out from the speakers isnā€™t a good combination. Hyunjinā€™s tan skin glows in the low light, his eyes sparkling, and he looks so fucking handsome, his plump lips stretching up into a flawless grin when I hook my arms around his neck loosely, moving closer. We dance a little moreā€¦ intimately, our bodies pressed together after a few minutes, and his hands rest on my lower back, not venturing any lower, and his eyes stay on my face, even though my cleavage is right there. His gentlemanliness just makes him even sexier to me.
I look up at him, and notice that some of his hair in his face, and so I reach to brush it back behind his ear. His hair is so soft, the locks just gliding between my fingers, and I canā€™t help but run my fingers through the loose hair that he hasnā€™t pulled up into a ponytail, my nails gently scraping against the back of his neck. He shivers a little, his neck obviously sensitive, and it makes me look him in the eyes, practically getting lost in them. And before my brain can even register it, he leans towards me and my eyes flutter shut, his lips softly brushing against mine a few moments later. My first kiss.
He moves away, almost to check if Iā€™m okay with it, and I just lean towards him, pressing our lips together again, making him let out a chuckle against my mouth. My mind numbs a little when he parts my lips with his, his tongue sliding into my mouth, and I really didnā€™t know that kissing was this good. His hands press into my back, holding me against him, and I grip onto his strong shoulders, his scent of lemony shampoo and expensive aftershave flooding my senses as our lips move against each other. ā€˜y/n, get a room!ā€™ I hear Jin, one of Joonā€™s stupid friends, shout, followed by laughter, making me break away from Hyunjin, blinking as though Iā€™ve just woken up, Hyunjin just smiling back at me. I turn to Jin, shooting him a dirty look and telling him to fuck off before turning back to Hyunjin. I feel braver than usual due to the alcohol and the fact that Iā€™ve just kissed a boy I met yesterday in the middle of a frat party, and so I ask, ā€˜do youā€¦ want to get a room?ā€™ ā€˜Umā€¦ what?ā€™ he asks, blinking, and I feel the humiliation setting in already. ā€˜I mean, we donā€™t have toā€¦ but I thought you might want t-ā€™ ā€˜Yes. I do want to.ā€™
Weā€™re both laughing drunkenly as we head up the stairs (it seems the several bottles of Soju heā€™s had have made him a little tipsy), our hands clasped together. ā€˜Whose room are we using?ā€™ ā€˜Um, we can use Namjoonā€™s. Iā€™m sure he wonā€™t mind ā€“ heā€™ll be proud Iā€™ve finally kissed a boy,ā€™ I say, leading him into Joonā€™s room. The second we enter, he shuts the door, pushing me up against it and pressing our lips together again, his body against mine and our hands still intertwined against the door. I tangle my free hand into his soft locks, his free hand gently roaming up and down my side, and itā€™s bliss, the way he touches me. Heā€™s such a good kisser ā€“ though itā€™s not like I have much experience anyway. ā€˜Did you say Iā€™m your first kiss?ā€™ he asks, lips moving against mine, and I let out a little noise of affirmation, the boy grinning. ā€˜Good,ā€™ he murmurs, the word making my stomach turn with butterflies.
But itā€™s like Iā€™m not allowed good things. Thereā€™s a loud hammering against the other side of the door, making both of us jump, and I manage to move out of the way just before it flies open, Namjoon storming in, anger all over his face. ā€˜y/n,ā€™ he says, voice shaking, and I look at him in concern, wondering whatā€™s happened. ā€˜Joon, are you okay?ā€™ ā€˜No, Iā€™m not,ā€™ he says, teeth gritted, and itā€™s then that I realise; heā€™s angry at me. ā€˜Oh, did youā€¦ should I have asked you if I could use your room? I didnā€™t think youā€™d mind, Iā€™m so-ā€™ ā€˜God, youā€™re so fucking dense!ā€™ he shouts, making me flinch, and Hyunjin looks between us before saying, ā€˜y/n, Iā€™m gonna go, you guys speak in private. Iā€™llā€¦ be downstairs.ā€™ I nod, too shocked to speak, and even more shocked at the way Namjoon stares daggers at Hyunjin as he slips past him.
ā€˜Whatā€™s your problem? Thereā€™s no need to be such a dick to me, or to Hyunjin.ā€™ ā€˜Oh, so you do know his name? Iā€™m surprised, since you only met him yesterday.ā€™ ā€˜Stop being so fucking judgy! Youā€™re allowed to fuck anything with a vagina, but I kiss a boy I met yesterday and the worldā€™s ending!ā€™ ā€˜Iā€™m not judgy, y/n, Iā€™m jealous! Canā€™t you fucking tell?ā€™ he practically screams, and the words donā€™t register with me for a moment. ā€˜Jealous?ā€™ I echo, and he lets out a humourless laugh, sinking down onto his bed. ā€˜Yes, y/n, jealous. Iā€™ve only been in love with you for two fucking years,ā€™ he mutters, the words hitting me like a ton of bricks. Heā€™s in love with me. My best friend is in love with me. ā€˜Joon, I-ā€™ ā€˜You what, y/n?ā€™ he asks angrily, and Iā€™m filled with such rage, I want to slap him.
ā€˜I didnā€™t know! If youā€™d told me, Iā€™d understand why youā€™re so angry! But you didnā€™t, so stop fucking shouting at me, and being such a dick, and making me feel guilty when I shouldnā€™t!ā€™ ā€˜There was no point telling you, because you donā€™t love me back!ā€™ he shouts, and now I feel even more guilty. ā€˜I love you, Joon, but as my best frie-ā€™ ā€˜And thatā€™s why I didnā€™t tell you! I could deal before, when I was still getting to spend time with you every day, but now that youā€™re getting all this attention from all these boys, itā€™s soā€¦ difficult.ā€™ ā€˜You still should have told me,ā€™ I say quietly, and he scoffs. ā€˜There was no point! It doesnā€™t change anything! You still donā€™t like me!ā€™ ā€˜No, I donā€™t, but you shouldnā€™t be angry at me about it.ā€™ ā€˜I think I have a right to be angry!ā€™ he shouts, and my eyes fill with tears. ā€˜Well, you donā€™t! Forgive me, Namjoon, but youā€™re not exactly a gentleman. Why would I fall for a boy that has a different girl in his bed every day, who plays girls like itā€™s his job, whoā€™s misogynistic and vulgar and a dog? You donā€™t get to be such a dick to women and have your best friend fall in love with you, because it doesnā€™t work that way!ā€™
ā€˜Oh, and Hyunjin isnā€™t a dick?ā€™ ā€˜No! Heā€™s sweet, and heā€™s kind, an-ā€™ ā€˜Youā€™ve known him for one day, and youā€™re already rushing upstairs to lose your fucking virginity to him! I thought youā€™d care more about your first time!ā€™ he shouts, still so judgmental, and I feel myself practically shaking with rage. How dare he behave the way he does and judge me, even though heā€™s supposedly in love with me? ā€˜Why do you care who I lose my virginity to?ā€™ ā€˜Because Iā€™m in love with you! Arenā€™t you fucking keeping up?ā€™ ā€˜No, Namjoon, youā€™re not in love with me. If you were, youā€™d be happy that Iā€™m happy. Instead youā€™re possessive and judgemental and douchey!ā€™ Weā€™re shouting at each other now, and anyone outside will be able to hear, but I donā€™t care. Let them hear how much of a dick he is. ā€˜I loved who you were, when-ā€™ ā€˜When what? When boys didnā€™t talk to me? When you and Jackson were the only boys I spoke to at parties? When I was pure, untouched, innocent? Now, youā€™re annoyed, because Iā€™m not who you thought I was. I donā€™t owe you anything, Namjoon, because you canā€™t expect me to have just known.ā€™
ā€˜Just go, y/n,ā€™ he says, all of the anger in him disappearing, and he sounds so tired, looks so tired. And, as always, I feel guilty. ā€˜Joon-ā€™ ā€˜No. Please, just go,ā€™ he says, and when he looks up at me, my heart breaks. His eyes are full of tears, sadness, hurt, but the second they land on mine, theyā€™re filled with love, too. Love that I canā€™t reciprocate because, he might be my best friend, but he is disgusting to girls. And I canā€™t love that. I canā€™t love him. ā€˜Okay. Iā€™ll go,ā€™ I whisper, turning away and leaving his room before I burst into tears.

THANK YOU for saying all of that about the sk8 fandom. I think it's mainly because it's a young fandom with a lot of young people, but yeah, they have zero chill. It gets kinda annoying when you actually stop and think about the show and realize that a lot of things are just,,, not the way they think they are/should be
Also, I have compared some Reki and Langa scenes to rinharu scenes, but it's mostly because I see them and think "nice reference Utsumi" because they remind me of them so much, but to say RL are in the same level as them, or any other couple they've compared then to is kind of a stretch. Reki and Langa are, at best, a very very tame version of any of those, and while is see why they would focus a lot more on the puppy love thing they have it really pales in comparison (although they don't really compare it to free! because they're so hellbent in calling it queerbait as though half of the scenes they claim are so romantic did not also happen in there before, because they really don't understand how romantic coding works in anime).
Anyway, your blog is amazing :)) You always come off as a very smart person who is also just so done with people's stupidity and I'm 100% here for that haha
Haha no problem, needed to get it out of my system anyways. Itā€™s true, but also once again being young shouldnā€™t always mean youā€™re that stupid, letā€™s be real here. And if you are that stupid, they need to know about it at least, so next time theyā€™ll maybe think twice before saying stuff they say.
Their main problem these days is their herd feeling, itā€™s like one says smth stupid, others, having no brain of their own, repeat it and hereā€™s what we have at the end. A whole field of a damn cicadas meaninglessly shrilling.Ā 
It would be much more entertaining if theyā€™d have enough brains to at least not putĀ sticks in their own wheels, but they sadly donā€™t, so taking them down isnā€™t even satisfying. Not to mention the fact that you donā€™t even have to do anything, sooner or later theyā€™ll embarrass themselves, cause the combination like ā€œa sense of self-importance we have, but real life experience and brains we donā€™t haveā€ leads to a disaster. Tiktok wonā€™t help you with everything and half of them donā€™t even know what theyā€™re talking about in most cases, they only love throwing loud words trying to scare easily impressionable ppl these days, cause everyone is like ā€œI donā€™t wanna be cancelled so I wonā€™t say anythingā€ lol.
They just do not get that when you start smth like this, same as with a good lies, you gotta be smart. Like ok, they donā€™t distinguish real life from fiction, fine, but they canā€™t even check the age of the characters of their other ships before yellingĀ ā€œpedoā€ about others, so idk what to say here really. I just truly feel bad sometimes about even saying smth, bc like maybe just let them be, imagine the embarrassment of being this stupid? Who even puts them in charge of other pplā€™s money idk.Ā 
Yeah, I understand I compared the scenes, too, itā€™s inevitable, cause theyā€™re all there haha. I was likeĀ ā€œourā€ and thats alsoĀ ā€œoursā€ lmao. What I do not get is why would you compare them as if they have the same relationship depth (like high schoolers who have known each other for a month and a couple who knew each other for 7+ years and who planned their future together) or say that the reasonings behind the characterā€™s behavior are same, when theyā€™re entirely and I mean ENTIRELY different. Itā€™s like not even anywhere near same. Like the comparartion of their break up with 13 year old Rin just hit me too hard, I was like.. letā€™s just not, not pls haha Iā€™ll write a damn essay, but pls it hurts my soul seeing this. And comparing their fist bumb (ai, excuuuse me, eternity sign) to victuuri exchanging rings, I was just on the floor seriously. I just canā€™t handle the fandom of this pairing, itā€™s too weird for me. Logic left the chat on their tag and holy shit theyā€™re blind to everything. Iā€™m even glad Iā€™m not into this pairing, cause I feel kinda sad for normal ppl who are into it, bc its like entering a kindergarden. Llike an absolute zero connection to reality, reading too much into things and all the chastity belts in one place, I was like... oh damn Iā€™m too old for this shit and even if I was invested Iā€™d probably still run away haha.
Iā€™m really happy that you enjoy the blog! Thank you so much <3 Haha I have zero tolerance for stupidity, true. Itā€™s such a bad quality tho, I sometimes suffer a lot just by seeing smth and be likeĀ ā€œI canā€™t, I just have to say smth, I just have to, otherwise I wouldnā€™t be able to sleep, itā€™s that stupidā€ lmao.
And sometimes part of me goes likeĀ ā€œyou know itā€™s pointless, itā€™s like talking to a treeā€, but other part of me is likeĀ ā€œno, it talks, and it means I can shut them upā€ lol. But I truly donā€™t get why ppl listen to this and indulge them seriously. Like I know stupid ppl prevail in this world in general, but like in fandoms theyā€™re pretty easy to dethrone, if you bring up the right arguments. And I know in rare occasions, when you really cut them deep, they tend to attack in large groups like locusts, but itā€™s not like they can eat me through a computer screen, so idk. If Iā€™ll get invested in that one ship after s12 I just might poke them a bit more out of spite lmao.
But also they are kids really, I mean, you can scroll through the tag and know for sure that like ā€œyeah, thatā€™s kidā€™s perspectiveā€. Most of them didnā€™t even reach the age of the characters theyā€™re watching things about, but like to pretend that they know stuff and most these days donā€™t have enough additional knowlenge to be smarter than their age, cause they are too busy well, tweeting about the stuff they know nothing about, so itā€™s kinda not really enjoyable to talk to them since Iā€™d rather discuss it with someone who at least was in high school already and you know, not extra lol.Ā 
Iā€™m just kinda upset that it turns out to be a kids fandom, thatā€™s all. Cause like chats and dms and sisters are great, but like I want the tag to look hella different, seriously. Bc Iā€™m interested in characters and relationships complexity, not pink vomit. Well, you know the enjoyment of a great fandom. Itā€™s a bliss. I have those thankfully haha.

things ive already established r on this post
besties this got so fucking long but heres a giant ramble about cherri
okay so. there are huge differences betwn cherri as a hyperviolent drac hunter and cherri as a friend of the four and cherri as the girls mentor. with the first one he was 17 and desperate to distance himself from his upbringing so he went all in on Being A Killjoy. he was always one of the first ppl to rush into a fight and he fought hard. he blew up his fuckin hand with that attitude. and all the while he was just racking up more unaddressed trauma and eventually he ran away from that, too. giving himself radiation poisoning was more appealing than facing his problems.
so as a teenager/young adult hes kind of constantly in a panicked state. hes scared the people from his past are going to find him and drag him back with them. so he lashes out and he runs away over and over again.
i said in another post that he has some past life shit goin on which usually would give him a connection to the witch that manifests early in life, but with all the stuff hes gone through he has been Preoccupied. he can become oblivious to almost anything that doesnt apply to whatever hes focused on. not in a hyperfocus way its likeeeeee. when u live on survival mode during prolonged periods of stress. hes immune to magic bullshit bc hes too tired and scared.
anyways around his mid-20s he finally has a little more stability (as much as the average person living in the zones can have, that is) and he finally notices that Weird Stuff happens around him. basically: out of my list of Powers People Connected To The Witch Have he has the prophetic dreams/enhanced intuition as well as a form of sensing ghosts where he can see auras and kind of like, echoes of past events in ppls lives. that look like auras. itz complicated and not of utmost importance so im leaving it at that.
anyways thats what makes him start writing poetry. just 4 funsies he'll describe his weird experiences and embellish them to make em pretty. just as a casual hobby n all that.
he would forget fun ghoul in between the times they ran into each other but its pretty easy to be reminded of who fun ghoul is. the most insane 10 year old cherri has ever met. cherri isnt a brother figure to ghoul. hes just. his friend that happens to be more than twice his age. its whatever lmao
to cherri, ghoul is kinda like a stray animal he keeps seeing. which is hilarious. ghoul actually goes and finds him to introduce him to jet when they start running together, and cherri meets party and kobra (spark and birdie at the time) when he drives the four of them to a party. because he has a truck hell yeah. so now instead of one stray animal he has, like, a feral cat colony that he drives around occasionally. i have no real-life human relationship equivalent to them because irl if some guy that is not related to any of you and isnt even a childhood or family friend and theyre hanging out with you? they are usually not a safe person lmao. but this is my fantasy land and im too stubborn to change anyones birth years even though ghoul being born in 2004 makes everything really hard to make not creepy.
so yeah hes a casual somewhat friend of the fab four. hed probably get more and more concerned as they got famous. the beginnings of any sort of protective feelings, awww :) that sets him up for becoming the girls mentor.
OH FUCK. THE GIRL..... i think if i was in my late 20s and i heard that the gang of 13-17 year olds had adopted a 5 year old kid i would go bananas. what the fuck. it is a LONG while before cherri meets her. but he has the strongest affection for ghoul (if you could even call it that) and ghoul absolutely adores the girl and swings her around under her arms like a cat to show her off to cherri and its very endearing and the girl is sweet and funny so its easy to be around her. and (unfortunately) she is somewhat used to interacting with weird easily agitated people so she kinda gives him space. cherri isnt quite the uncle figure the fandom usually makes him (i luv uncle cherri sm but he simply cannot exist in the universe ive created, f), but hes a little similar.
and then the four had to go and pretend to die. lol.
when the girl was kidnapped, fucking everyone who knew her was ready to storm the city then and there. like regardless of how little you knew her, if you had ever met her you would fucking die for her. she is pure childish charisma and shes precious. i love the girl. so cherris immediately on board with whatever plan the four make to get her back. ive already talked abt how it fucked up the girl tho; there was no way to tell her that the four werent actually dead, she sees the building collapse and she shuts down. and cherri has to fight against his instinct to leave the radio station and never come back when he sees an eight year old girl sitting dissociated on the couch. that fucks everyone up.
i just realized i havent talked about literally anyone else at the radio station. i think cherri started lingering around the station bc it was safe and sheltered while also not being a popular spot. there are less kids there (people pass through but its not a hangout spot). he was kind of just hanging around to get away from the heat and noise and dr d took notice. because that man can see ur soul and no one knows if thats literal or not. so theyd chat a few times a day and show pony was the one 2 get him out of his shell a little and also was the first one he mentioned his poetry hobby to. im making this all up right now as im writing bc i dont know anything about LITERALLY any of the ppl associated w the radio like im not even going 2 try with chimp n newsie i do not have the willpower to tackle all that. justttt. cherri pony n D become bros and live 2gether there.
back 2 the regular timeline. the rescue mission happens in 2019. the girl lives at the station until 2023. during that time she is very much depressed and withdrawn and is only happy when the four come to visit. none of the Adults know how to help her so they just keep her safe and cared for and hope she'll open up to them.
she does not. she takes the weird cat thats been hanging around and she runs away.
cherri does not see her for three years. shes still worse for wear in the mental health department and he can see all kinds of visions of what shes been through since the last time he saw her and he fucking hates the ultra vs bc they remind him of his past. he does not want her going down that path but its obvious that she isnt crazy abt the ultraviolence thing either so thats a relief.
they have a kind of tense relationship throughout the comics. he feels like he failed her and that spirals into feeling like he failed the four for not being a good adult to them and fun ghoul for not helping enough when his commune was bombed and all kinds of shit and that irrational thinking mixed with plain old, yknow, caring about the girl, is what makes him take a bullet (laser. whatever) for her.
i was trying to figure out the timing of each of their ghost experiences, but i want both of them to talk to the witch and im just gonna make it like dreams where a whole buncha stuff happens but irl its been like seconds. so its like barely a second while the girl has her Witch Convo and cherri FINALLY gets a straight answer, yes there is weird shit going on with him having powers. he doesnt have any story-significant past lives because im lazy, hes just an old soul. like really fuckin old. the amount of latent life experience and stuff his soul/energy/whatever has picked up along the way makes him VERY noticeable to gods n stuff. he fuckin lights up all the alarms like what the FUCK is that over there. she wasnt rly able to get to him or even properly notice him while he was a kid and a young adult so shes happy to finally see him again. he has a STRONG sense of familiarity with her. they know each other on a wild ass level that he cant really comprehend.
welp thats some more lore I'll have 2 think abt. anywayz
post canon is when he and val get to have the most awkward spiderman meme moment of realizing that they have the same trauma SOOOOO thatz fun lol /s sorry kings i thought it would be fun to give u something fucked up to bond over <3
not much changes in his personality. he has a better understanding of Weird Magic and delights in freaking out the ultra vs but for the most part he returns to his life at the radio station. i love him
THIS GOT SO CRAZY LONG I DID NOT MEAN 2 GO THROUGH EVERY PART OF HIS LIFE LIKE SOME WEIRD CHARACTER STUDY but here we are. this is basically a first draft like almost all of this is subject to change but u gotta start somewhere. so heres my start i love this guy. its probably obvious but i have not read ANY twitterverse killjoys stuff </3 maybe i will someday idk

hey so this is gonna be a long-ish one. ive decided its been far too long since i did a session, and we did so many i can often forget what happened. i started in july and im pretty sure its been more than half a year now since this whole blog happened. and in that time, weā€™ve gone through 88 sessions and i want to know if i remember the relevant plot points and what we got up to in the last few sessions. a refresh/reminder if you would.
so i hereby commence my own little recap of act 5 because yeah no, its too much to do a recap of everything and i have andrew for that after every few acts. but i wanna refresh my mind on act 5 for now. so here we go.
1. alternia.. fucked up place. but its a place the trolls live on so what are we gonna do about it? overthrow the government? seems about right, lets do that with the next troll that gets introduced and if its not kanaya idk what andrew is doing by not having introduced the best troll yet. why the long wait? it was the second introduced? i honestly expected it to go in order when i first read act 5, because first we had karkat talk to jade which was the first new piece dialogue in the comic besides the main kids, but then we had kanaya with rose, which was followed by tavros, then terezi (iirc). so id assume we were following that order but nope karkat got fully introduced, then this random fucking juggalo called gamzee made its way into the comic. imagine my surprise.
2. theres been terminology throughout act 5, that i do not fucking know and will not remember and probably never will. like tf is a perigee again? i made a doc somewhere ill probably find it.
3. karkatā€™s introduction... short but very sweet. and by sweet i mean we got to know the depths of the angry edge lord. and by depths i mean karkat got angry at gamzee for typing in a way that he didnt like so he yapped like a chihuahua. nah, but seriously, i do like karkat tho, hes growing on me but only bc hes a bitch baby and his whole personality makes me want to mock him so thats the reason im not that annoyed and think hes funny, and the most harmless troll. even more so than tavros. and thats saying something. 7.5/10 bc im generous.
4. then gamzee... the high juggalo troll who has the worst typing quirk imo, i cannot for the life of me read it. but hes chill, i actually really like gamzee. hes funny and the least problematic as of right now. 8.5/10.
5. tereziā€™s introduction next i think. she likes playing as a lawyer with her stuffed dragons, ie by roleplay, shes blind, can see through licking, and she likes eating chalk, maybe its even nutritious. shes good. 9/10.Ā 
6. uhh in the process of these intros, there are teams being made? karkat joins gamzee and terezi in, i THINK, the red team?? bc terezi likes red?? could be wrong, i dont remember the teams except that its red/blue to represent solluxā€™s duality in those colors. terezi then tries recruiting AC but AC is like lol sorry i have to ask this friend of mine who has authority over me for some goddamn reason and terezi goes yuck tf i hate that guy................... yeah thats all we have on the teams. pretty sure sollux had smth to do with karkat about the making of the leaders, and they did the ā€œi hate meā€ and the ā€œno i hate me more than u hate uā€ or whatever the fuck that was. they got embarrassed afterwards and deleted their messages. im pretty sure they have no messages because everything ends up being mutually deleted so their logs are actually empty. ngl, kinda enjoyed their convos, made me appreciate their characters. i hope we get more because its good content. i also dont know what order this whole thing is in, who contacted who first? couldnt tell you. ill remember later on. and since im basing this off from memory alone, gotta deal with what i remember. uhhhh so yeah. we havent met all characters yet so the teams have not been officially decided but we got the bases, which is that.
7. god i found it, and the only thing im looking at right now is the terminology list i made and what the fuck?? what the fuck?? you miss a few weeks and suddenly the word nubslurping comes up and you forget what the fuck youre reading.
8. im PRETTY SURE aradia is seen after that whole team fiasco?? or its sollux... maybe. wait. its sollux, right. i just knew someone gets introduced mid way through is all. actually, someone gets introduced after every 20 pages. i have no idea. but ik aradia and sollux go hand in hand.
9. oh shit. OH SHIT! RIGHT! I REMEMBER! so this occurs in the latest session i did, and not the beginning of act 5, but AG and aradia team up, right?? and sollux fucking gets manipulated by them and ??? idk??? they make him find the game, reprogram it and then make him believe its going to end the world (which in hindsight is true, but anyways) so he refuses to play it which was AGā€™s plan all along so she steps up and becomes leader in his place. but aradia says sollux will still play the game no matter what, but she never went through with the plan for AG but it was apart of a prophecy? that sollux wouldnt be the leader at all? that heā€™d still play? but it had to go according to plan so it could succeed??? we just dont know why yet. anyways, point being, she still cares for sollux since she did it for him rather than for AG. and thats what i recall.Ā god tf i forgot about that whole drama until writing down ā€œsollux and aradia go hand in handā€ which gave me violent flashbacks to the memory.
10. oh and id give aradia 9/10 and sollux 7/10. i do like sollux but if i put him higher than karkat, id get crucified. so im keeping them around the same.
11. man i really like sollux and aradia tho, i may have put him at 7, but i really like their dynamic and i really hope they make up and aradia explains herself about AG. because from one side it looks shitty. and while sollux is rude and never makes up his mind, he apologized to aradia after going off, and that was the only time ive seen him be sincere, so im pretty sure he cares for her to some extent. and i think its somewhat mutual? considering the whole ā€œdid it for himā€ thing. man, i see potential because i actually like both their characters. theyre well written. may not have the best personalities, but i appreciate well written characters and homestuck has the best ones ive seen in a while.
12. oh shit, hell yeah, the more i write, the more im connecting the dots and remembering. however, the more i write, the more i want to just make an analogy post but thats not for now. jesus christ its not all about analogies, mack, this is a recap. but.. how does andrew do it? to not go off track??? hard. telling ya.
13. anyways, didnt we break the fourth wall at some point and have the demon gods or whatever the fuck speak to us in third person for the first time in the comic, after having only gone into second person narrative, right after we were introduced to sollux and his ā€œvirusā€? the uh, the phraseĀ ā€œthe demon was already hereā€ was said, or something along those lines. first line in homestuck to give me the creeps ngl and i appreciate it bc it gives me motivation to know what the fuck its about. its cool bc you have no idea where its going and it sure doesnt have anything to do with the current plot, since the trollsā€™ session/game doesnt have fucking demons so im curious as to what the fuck that was about. and if i really have to make a theory, i feel it has something to do with aradiaā€™s voices in her head which also connect to the gods rose heard when she started disregarding rules and told dave to look at derse without listening to music bc it was as if he was purposely blocking away their calls. like holy shit, that gave me the shivers. while i do want to know more about wtf happens after act 4, trolls are taking priority right now. just like we did with the intermission. no discussing the kids unless necessary. treat this as its own separate comic. and THEN we can connect.
14. ANYWAYS, tavrosā€™ intro???? that comes afterwards?? with the fiduspawn that made me gag a little on the inside? yep. remember that. fuck that lol. -1/10 but tavros himself is MAYBE a 6/10? i wish we explored his character more in his intro bc right now he just looks like a character made only to be a victim rather than have any depth and i feel thats robbing someone of their full potential. give me more personality andrew, rather than a quivering boy who falls prey to bitches. im expecting more throughout the comic honestly and i hope he gets growth so hes not looked as aĀ ā€œvictimā€ but rather his own character. he is still sweet, and i like him because i want to protect him, but id rather have more info, you know what i mean?
15. oh hell. kanaya had a chainsaw at some point. that made me happy. and didnt she cut off tavrosā€™ legs?? and he got robot ones? and some creepy dude was looking and we called him saggy tits bc hes sagittarius? right? neat. that did happen. pretty sure saggy tits is ACs friend that tells her what to do. the more u know. OH and they all have colored blood similar to their text colors lol. that i remember... so tavros has brown, terezi has blueish green, um. karkat has grey the loser. and apparently it forms a rainbow which is nice. rainbow is good.
16. i dont remember anything else actually
17. wait no i do. AG appeared. shes a petty bully. idk what to say about her. we didnt get that much, except that she hates tavros but is okay with aradia. she also looks like a bottle opener. actually, i think she teamed with aradia to gain leadership rather than to ā€œbe friendsā€. and while that is similar to how karkat did it, meaning the gain, the motivation and how they earned it is entirely different. kinda seeing a trend tho. the leaders of the red/blue teams are both characters who wanted the role, but never had it to begin with. only to win their way into the position. but rather than ask non-stop like karkat did, AG manipulated others so she could be successful. not too sure if she also used aradia for that, or is actually motivated to become friends since they wereĀ ā€œpast enemiesā€ and she needed a rebound. pretty sure its somewhat both. while AG did mostly use aradia to speak with sollux, what she doesnt know is that aradia is a bad bitch who never even thought about AG and only followed through with the plan bc she had a plan of her own. i guess weā€™ll look into that later. i lowkey want to know their history.
18. OH AC!!! she appeared for a second as well. love her. shes amazing. 9.5/10. and you may ask yourself, why am i saying ā€œi love this characterā€ but none of them are 10/10?? weellllll its because, and i cant stress this enough, 10/10 belongs to kanaya, i dont make the rules. im waiting for her introduction, shes my favorite and its obvious. sorry.
19. oh huh seems i forgot about the term ā€œlususā€. which.. is.. their parents but not really, its these fucking weird ass creatures that the trolls fought in a cave or something as a child. i dont fucking know. terezi hatched hers and it died? gamzeeā€™s also died but his goat sea dad was never really there to begin with so while it is sad, its more sad that gamzee never saw him? um.. karkat killed his own by exploding his computer bc sollux said dont run the virus and karkat said u cant tell me what to do and did it anyways. so thats on him. but apparently theyre supposed to die, to become prototyped during the game, right? yeah. i remember now.
20. thats.. about it? idk anything else, nothing is coming back to me apart from the shit above. huh.... im surprised how quickly things do come back to you the moment you rant about the plot tho.... handy trick.
cool. neat. fun. this took me too long. but im glad i remember a little bit.

get! to! know! my! wip!
tagged by the light of my life angela @dinoflangellate, iā€™m gonna answer these questions for punch drunk bc i donā€™t have anything actually written for EPYLIE or orchestra au and if i give anything else away for the last chapter of northern star iā€™ll die. also bc punch drunk is good and i need to remember it deserves finishing lol
1. whatā€™s your fave thing about writing your current wip
that i have so much of it done lmao. also that even though itā€™s an AU i think thereā€™s a really good sense of character dynamic between everybody, the people with complicated history Get Into their complicated history, thereā€™s inspiration taken from canon that gets explored in ways i find interesting, etc. also there are narratives at play that arenā€™t about kissing and angst (RARE for a fic of mine lol)
2. have you got a name yet/whatā€™s your process for finding one
yes! punch drunk! i almost always come up with a name while iā€™m outlining a story and almost never changes during the writing process.Ā 
3. is there a scene youā€™re stuck on?
YEAH LMAO thats why itā€™s been languishing for nearly a year. thereā€™s a scene that i have to research into like. UK family law a little bit to write and iā€™m just like why did i fucking do this to myself good god.Ā 
4. is there a scene you canā€™t wait to write?
the majority of the scenes i was really looking forward to writing have been written bc delayed gratification is not a thing iā€™m good at, BUT i am both excited and Deeply nervous to write the scene where the ot3 finally kind of navigate being together?? not in a porny way (maybe in a porny way? probably not) but just like. i have really good dynamics down between all of them and i gotta bring them together and really stick the landing.Ā 
5. whatā€™s your process when you get stuck? are you rational or do you flip your metaphorical writing desk and storm out?
oh i usually work on something else, like another story. also sometimes i leave 47k words sitting unused in a scrivener file for a year and just write other stuff and figure itā€™ll come together eventually. el oh el
iā€™m supposed to be tagging ppl but iā€™m tagphobic AND angela tagged all my ppl i usually would tag SO. if you see this and wanna do it im tagging u.Ā

OKAY LIVE REACTION TO RIKAS BACKSTORY DLC HERE WE GO
okay so spoilers again lol
okay so i thought when you played the scret ending 1? riaks backstory was free? e-e
HAHA NVM WAS JUST THE FIRST EPISODE time to go buy 330 hour glasses ANYWAYS
okay seriosuly thing for people who dont like Rika, for what she did. You should honestly play her backstory.. it really could clear some things up for you, and it may chnage your mind, just abit hopefully.
you shouldnt just say no to story, just because you donā€™t like her.
Of course, if you really dont want to read it fine, but it can probably really help.
Episode 1
this god lady sounds like Jaehee tbh SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OH Mina is Rikas real name :3 How cute already liking this. WONT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE RETS OF IT THOUGH
Mina/Rika, they really didnt deserve what happened to them.
HOLY FCUK I HONESTLY THOUGHT MIKA WAS FUCKING RIKA BUT IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND OKAY OR AM I GETTING TI MIXED UP?
Tumblr media
okay gotta buy 330 hours glasses but THEN ILL CONTINUE MY REACTION
OKAY IM BACK TO REACT AND TO CRY OKAY COOL

okay had to restart my phone THANKS ANOTHER SETBACK
Episode 2
okay so, i like Mika back here. BUT WHAT I SAW IN THE V ROUTE, thats not cool Mika. you were kinda okay? you were already a little manipulative to a three year old.Ā ā€œMy little sister, should always have short hairā€ how about you shut up. Twins? All she ever wated was to be loved and not taken away from herĀ ā€œTwinā€, Maybe thats why she cared so much for Saeran and Saeyoung before she ddi what she did. Mika no, no. Youā€™re the one who put those awful things in Minas/Rikas mind ugh okay i go back to not liking her, that was very fast.
Okay grown up Rika/Mina, okay rika i like you when you arent doing ur creepy eyes. UGH honestly im so mad at Mika, honestly the fuck. CUTE PICTURES OF V AND RIKA YES okay i know, i like V and all but tbh they were cute together.
excuse me V you shouldve said THATS WHY I ADORE UR SUN BC THATS ALL SHE NEEDED TO HEAR, she didnt want to hear that you loved her because of her darkness.Ā  She wnated someone to love her, or show her a tiny bit of warmth so she could find the light inside her.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thoughts
thst was um
one crazy ride
AND I WAS THERE FOR IT
so glad i read it.
even if you dont like rika at all
please do
its worth it.
as you can see my thoughts were jumbled in the actual live reaction
but it makes alot of sense kind aof?
im to lazy to write a review so thats the best youā€™re gonna get.
Its really good, to actually understand why Rika/Mina/Serena turned out the way she was.
i mena i already forgave her in the V ending
but even though she did those bad things, if someone just loved her and didnt feeed her with horrible views of the world, she was still a caring girl even though the darkness took a hold of her,
Im not glad of what happened to her, but if it didnt we would have never even met anyone. so as mucha s i hate to say it, im glad of what happened, and 100% glad we could help her through with it.
Okay, well that was fun.

a modest reinterpretation ofĀ ā€œandiā€™s choiceā€ in c-minor (inspired by a post byĀ @ambimack)
in which bowie ghostwrites a song, andi tries to go ghost on walker, and [insert third awful ghost pun here]:Ā 
so bowie is actually ringing up customers for once at the music store that I figured rarely got business because helloo itā€™s always damn near empty but I guess today there was a surge of customers seeking out guitar picks and vinyls to show how Cultured and Unique they were for listening to the beatles or whomever. anyway jonah is on his guitar, doing as jonahs are wont to do, and bowie drops the bomb on him with ā€œso yeah remember that music coach I told you about? she hates you. she quite frankly and literally wants you dead. she told me this herself. why didnā€™t you show up???ā€ and jonahā€™s likeĀ ā€œandi donā€™t fw me anymore :(ā€ which isnā€™t rly an answer bc lbr here homeboy was ALREADY running late. you mean to tell me him staring at that painting took 4 whole minutes? nah.Ā 
so anyway bowieā€™s likeĀ ā€œhm letā€™s change thatā€ bc manipulating your daughterā€™s emotions behind her back is cool I guess. bowie, totally not projecting in any way whatsoever, suggests that jonah write andi a song. jonahā€™s not about it tho.Ā ā€œI canā€™t talk about my feelings!ā€ he says, which is true considering he only just started exhibiting negative emotions for the first time ever last week. bowie goes,Ā ā€œsure u can! what rhymes with back?ā€ and jonah almost saysĀ ā€œcrack!ā€ bc thats clearly what bowieā€™s been on for the past 2 episodes but lemme not.
anyway jump to andi @ the spoon and her boo thang whoā€™s not rly her boo thang yet bc terri hates us is facetiming her again.Ā ā€œso andi, my wife whom I would die for, whatā€™s up?ā€ and andi repliesĀ ā€œmy best friend is moving away :(ā€ so walker, the understanding king he is, goesĀ ā€œaw pick your head up queen, your crownā€™s falling :ā€™)ā€ and tells her to go be with her friends and something about a bubble machine idk but w/e we still stan.
buffy comes in w/ all the junk the ghc left at her house including a knockoff tamagotchi which seems kinda before andiā€™s time?? like she was supposedly 7 when she got it which would have been around 2010? but once again w/e we still stan. and buffy reads the recommendation letter cyrusā€™ mom wrote for him which seemed a tad incomplete.Ā ā€œI canā€™t believe my mom forgot to add three references, what a waste...ā€ he sighs.
but walker comes in and andiā€™s likeĀ ā€œtf didnā€™t u just tell me to drink bubble soap and be w/ my friends? what r u doing here?ā€ and walker, the modern day da vinci, saysĀ ā€œim here to draw ur friends as a going away present for your fellow queen, buffyā€ and buffy looks shooketh like hey if andi donā€™t want him go get him sis!Ā 
so walker draws a louvre level artist rendering of the ghc and instead of appreciating the fact that walker could probably make an exact recreation of the mona lisa, andiļæ½ļæ½ļæ½s likeĀ ā€œ*rolls eyes emoji* *sucks teeth emoji* now i got TWO of these little boys after me what the fuck -_-ā€ but that doesnā€™t matter bc buffy and cyrus are LIVING for it.Ā 
ā€œim gay so clearly im the better sassy best friend, step tf back bitchā€
ā€œthe sassy best friend stereotype was made for my black ass cyrus so if you think for even a second I wonā€™t claim my rightful spot you are sadly mistakenā€
ā€œlet me have this one thing buffy I canā€™t even say the word gay out loud on this damn show can I at least have this?? can I?ā€
buffy takes a sip of her virgin margarita and goes...
Tumblr media
anyway back at the music shop, jonah has just finished practicing the song bowie ghostwrote for him. jonahā€™s likeĀ ā€œgreat this is perfect for me to sing outside andiā€™s windowā€ and bowie quite litcherally flips a table and goesĀ ā€œyou rly thought u were gonna pull that corny shit??? what year is it?? 1985 called they want their courtship technique back lol what a loserā€ and jonahā€™s like hm perhaps he really is on crack but doesnā€™t say it out loud bc that would hurt bowieā€™s feelings :/. bowie says that he already booked jonah to perform at the open mic being held THAT NIGHT lmao and jonah just about has another panic attack bc what??
ā€œwhat??ā€ he asks bowie who is too busy thinking about him performingĀ ā€œyou girlā€ to bex when they were younger to even remember who jonah even is. jonahā€™s quite honestly shitting himself and wondering what tf heā€™s going to do.Ā ā€œbeing around youā€ is cute and all but it doesnā€™t go nearly as hard as andi deserves, especially if he now has to compete with artsy fartsy walker who could probably redo the sistine chapel all by himself if he rly wanted to.Ā ā€œhm..........how can one convey how truly deep in their feelings they are for the one they love?ā€ jonah asks the universe, bc hey it seems to always work for bowie.Ā 
the universe responds by sending a speeding car full of college kids blasting aubrey grahamā€™s newest hit single right into the storefront window.Ā 
ā€œthatā€™s it!ā€Ā 
jonahā€™s handing out flyers at the spoon and cyrus literally melts into a puddle and Iā€™m pretty sure this is the first nod to his crush on jonah since he came out to andi wow. andiā€™s likeĀ ā€œsince when do u do anything aside from throwing a plastic disc?ā€ and jonahā€™s likeĀ ā€œlast week šŸ¤—"
they go to the open mic and some girlie is throwing it DOWN w/ her accordion but bowie being the uncultured swine he is, pulls her off the stage.Ā ā€œanywayyyy hereā€™s our final performance and the only reason we held this show tonight, give a big round of applause to jonah beck!ā€
jonah walks out with his guitar and an amazon copyrighted product shaped like a portable speaker. bowieā€™s like šŸ¤Ø bc this was supposed to be an acoustic performance tf does he need a backing track for? jonah sits down on his lil stool and clears his throat.Ā ā€œalexa play ā€˜in my feelings, jonah beck coverā€™ā€. the device plays a track consisting of jonahā€™s angelic backing vocals, and our boy begins to strum his guitar. he opens his mouth to croon...
ā€œtrap...trap bowie bowieā€
bowieā€™s chiseled jaw drops to dirty ass music shop floor.Ā ā€œthis is...not what I planned.ā€
ā€œthis stuffā€™s got me in my feelings...gotta be real w/ it...ā€
the entire audience has a collective heart attack.Ā 
ā€œan-di, do u luv me? r u riding? say youā€™ll never ever leave from beside me, cause I want ya and I need ya, and Iā€™m down for u always...ā€
buffy and cyrus catch whiplash from turning so fast to face andi.Ā ā€œthe songā€™s about YOU bitch!ā€
andi shakes her lil head.Ā ā€œpuh-lease, no itā€™s notā€
cyrus, doing his best not to cry, saysĀ ā€œhe literally just said ur name but go offā€
andiā€™s in denial bc eww j*n*h b*ck? singing a song? for her? disgusting. but jonah keeps singing his little heart out and the lyrics are more and more damning as they go on.Ā 
ā€œtrap, trap bowie bowie...I buy you rice on a string cause you not that showyā€
ā€œart 101 cause u just like zoeyā€
ā€œfuck he is singing about me...ā€
ā€œfudge that netflix and chill whatā€™s ur net-net-net worth?ā€ jonah sings, hitting an impossible high note. queen of vocals.Ā 
ā€œyouā€™re the only one I luv~~~ā€ he serenades, serving us mariah carey level whisper notes. ariana is cancelled! our boy finishes the song, basking in the thought of how many careers he singlehandedly ended by performing at this small hole-in-the-wall music shop in bumfuck, utah. drake your days are numbered sis.Ā 
everyone immediately deserts the shop en masse like did yā€™all see how fast they all left last episode?? damn. buffy and cyrus stay behind while andi is frozen sitting in her chair bc what the hell does one say to that.Ā 
bowie goes up to jonah and is likeĀ ā€œso um...that was...different.ā€ and jonah respondsĀ ā€œikr! see,Ā ā€˜being around youā€™ felt too old school, too...2002. idk why that year specifically, but idk it just sounds like it was written in 2002 for a completely different person, maybe even bex, but what do I know? im just your friendly neighborhood jonah beck.ā€ bowie is shook.Ā ā€œanyway, do u think andi liked it?ā€ bowie looks up to see his dorder who heā€™s more or less forgot about in favor of m*randa and demon child for the past couple of days walking in slow motion to the stage. how she was doing that was beyond him.Ā ā€œwell, she looks like sheā€™s about to cry so thatā€™s either a very good thing or a very bad thing. ur on ur own now bud.ā€ and he skidaddles to where bex is waiting. oh yeah bex was in this episode too I forgot.Ā 
andi approaches jonah and heā€™s likeĀ ā€œ...so...song....you like?ā€ and andiā€™s internally screaming bc everyone for the past several weeks has been pushing this relationship on her including jonah himself and now he just sung this song in front of all these ppl and now she pretty much HAS to kiss him so anyway ya she does.Ā 
when she pulls away jonah blinks.Ā ā€œoh...doscheā€
THE END.Ā 
will andi finally break up with jonah for good? will jonah avoid copyright infringement for covering a drake song on disney channel? will bowie seek help for his crack addiction? find out next time on dragonball z!

I was reading your tags and please, for the love of God, write a Mafia AU. I haven't been able to find any good ones.
i wanna so bad! i find organized crime fascinating, & iā€™m also a big movie nerd, with crime films being my fav genre, so im super into that sorta thing. definitely would love to see it, but o boy, maybe ill jus write it myself?? gotta do everythin myself haha
iā€™d def go the historical route, soĀ itā€™d be interesting to try to both apply characters that are firmly rooted in 90s/2000s behaviors & beliefs, and stick them in the 1900s. oh, boy, writing historical stuff is a pain. so much research. worth it tho, if itā€™s done well. aye, and itā€™ll be cool to try toĀ keep it as nonfictional as possible. like, attempting to insert the kids (as adults, obvs) into crime history. i wonder if i could do tht? itā€™d be fun. itā€™s definitely uncharted waters. thereā€™s a lot of potential there.
but, hmm, i think mafia aus are so rare in fandom (not just the sp fandom, but across the board) bc they contradict everything thatā€™s popular in fanfic. mob aus would feature violence, business, finances, and corruption. whereas fics prefer cuddles, leisure time, a world where money aint an issue, and wholesomeness. and considering the majority of fic is written by horny and/or love-starved teenage girls who dont know or care about the aforementioned subjects, it makes sense. kinda a bummer, but understandable. in the defense of like everyone, lmao, those sorta fics take a lot of planning, & aint nobody got time. so i get it.
oof i think a major thing too is how gay-centric fic/fandom is, when the mobster world is undeniably a heterosexual one. thats an issue. shit, i wonder how many gay characters i could get away with while keeping it realistic. i mean, im sure there were gay mobsters, in fact iā€™ve read about a couple, but the lifestyles did not go hand in hand, lol.
IM STUPID NO ONE CARES ABT THIS DUMB SHIT HERES IDEAS
iā€™m thinking 1940s new york. im inclined towards kyman, as u probs kno, but again, the gay thing. huh. maybe i can figure it out. maybe theyre young bachelors, and theyre business partners & fuck around sometimes. weā€™ll see. anyway. if weā€™re gonna include all charactersā€¦.
cartman would pull a goodfellas - heā€™s of, what, german descent? hell, considering his parents, he probably wouldnā€™t even exist in this universe. eh. well. heā€™d def be from yorkville, manhattan, cuz tht was a german neighbourhood. anyway heā€™d weasel into the italian mob, bc heā€™d be into the idea of 1) exorbitant amounts of money, and 2) being feared/respected. his authoritah! psh. and someone would notice how smart he is & mentor him, regardless of nationality. heā€™d quickly make enemies, though, because heā€™s rude & brash. heā€™d also quickly become one of the most respected young dons (would he reach that level, without a family? doubt it. heā€™d have to become a made man, which i believe is reserved exclusively for italians ā€¦.. ehhhh ill figure it out. maybe heā€™d branch out, start his own crime family. thatā€™d be interesting. ooo.) damn, ukno, i think the 40s would make a real interesting character out of cartman. huh. yah, thatā€™d be cool to explore, how that time period would shape him. like i said, he likely wouldt even exist. did the denver broncos exist back then? doubt it
kyle would get wrapped up in the jewish mob (which existed, and which iā€™d personally l o v e to be a part of lol - if i was born 100 years ago), maybe while trying to protect ike from getting involved? thatā€™d be cool. maybe heā€™d demonstrate his brains & be offered a job as an accountant or an attorney, and heā€™d be forced to comply, either bc 1) his fam was threatened if he declined, or 2) his fam was doing bad financially & needed it. maybe both. hell, maybe he avoids the jewish mob & gets involved with the others. MAYBE IKE IS THE ONE IN THE JEWISH MOB & WANTS HIS BROTHER BACK FROM THE ITALIANS. OOOOOOOOO also theyā€™d be from brooklyn, likely, bc thatā€™s where jews were primarily located back then. u kno there was 400k jews in new york in 1899?? including my great great great grandparents. thatā€™s a shit ton of jews lol. lil fun fact for ya.Ā 
wait ok so oof this is hard now, bc the mob was primarily divided into three chunks - the italians, the jews, & the irishmen. there was also the puerto ricans, but that was, like, a different division. iā€™m mentioning this because nationality was important to mobsters, to all organized crimes groups actually, but south park doesnā€™t make a habit of mentioning what countries each characterā€™s ancestors came from, lol. so itā€™d be a lot of writer interpretation. and thatā€™s cool and all, but doesnā€™t give me much to work with, considering most of the kids are white and likely german/england-descended.Ā 
i could make kenny & butters irish. thatā€™d work. i think kennyā€™s last names irish, actually. they could be from hellā€™s kitchen, which had a p hefty irish-american population. maybe i could make stan irish, too. wendy might be able to pass for italian (little italy manhattan??? maybe the bronx??? im tryna think geography lol. for scale.). thatā€™d work, if i wanted to put some stendy in there, bc i love making stan the token het guy, haha. maybe wendys dad marries her off to stan to form an alliance between the italians & irish. thatā€™d be interesting. maybe cartman was rallying to get wendy to marry him, bc he needed to marry someone bc of, like, societal expectations, & she was the only girl who caught his interest. maybe he declares war on stan, to win back the bride he wants. maybe kyles best friends w stan, tht happened somehow, & interjects. goes to meet cartman to discuss a way out - ohhhhh theres my kyman babay!!! oooooo!!!
omg. plot forming. this is def an interesting concept. maybe i can use it as a chance to write a plot-oriented fic that doesnā€™t rely heavily on ships. thatā€™d be awesome. iā€™ve wanted to do that for ages.
maybe we can squeeze christophe in as a french immigrant, maybe an associate of someone. same with gregory, but, like, british. thatā€™d be fun. craig & tweek can be somewhere in there, too. associates of cartman or something. maybe they own a brothel. oooh. who else. bebe! maybe she can be a cabaret dancer who someone falls for. nothin wrong w hetero nonsense if itā€™s done right & if it aint nonsense. yah? maybe she can be kenā€™s love interest. also maybe token & nichole can be in there somewhere, from harlem?
this sounds fun as fuck, though, def. im really obsessed with new york right now, so maybe writing this could be a love letter to its history. thatā€™d be dope. ooh, and im from las vegas actually, born & raised, so maybe i could do a chapter set there, considering the mob was very influential in the stripā€™s development. thatā€™d be rad. holy heck. im excited abt this now. gotta finish oboitd asap & get into this, haha.
o shit. i jus realized, like, just how much research iā€™d have to do. like, not only about organized crime, abt 40s slang & dress, abt new york, abt everything. oooh boy this is a Project
ill get on that eventually haha, im into it now. itā€™s 4am rn tho so ima sleep, gnite anon

Could we get some headcanons/more background on Abbey and Doyleā€™s kids? šŸ„ŗšŸ‘‰šŸ‘ˆ I love the premise of this AU
Tumblr media
YEEEEE (im just gonna ramble a bunch about the backstory i have so far but ill put it in bullets so its easier to follow lol i apologize for it being long as fuck-)
OKAY SO,,, first of all,,, doyle and abbey timeline,,,, [i am looking respectfully]
in this au, they get back together and have a sort of ā€˜lovers pretending to be enemiesā€™ chaotic on again/off again hookup thing off to the side just between the two of them thru like Most of the final season, they try to keep it a secret (especially doyle who doubts the saturdays would be hAPPY if he was seeing her again) but in the end, saturdays ofc find out, probably are unsure about it at first, but she gains enough of their trust to be there for the big finale battle in the weird world mansion.
when shit goes down and argost becomes the vessel for the two opposing kurs (regular kur, and the anti kur from zak monday) and they like. explode his matter or w/e, i imagine instead of kur just completely disappearing, theĀ ā€˜anti kurā€™ gets shot back to its universe, while original kur gets forced into a new vessel in this universe... the closest of which happens to be the unborn child abbeys unknowingly carrying. basically, what if the two kurs just LOOKED like they evaporated but actually did what happens when you try to like tape two same sides of a magnets together and they YEETED-
So thats how we have Parker, their firstborn daughter! and this... also implies ā€˜Parker Mondayā€™ exists which. 8^) i havent thought about yet so forgive me on that but hoo,Ā 
they dont know parker is kur, they got no idea and rly just assume kur is gone for good. but after they find out abbeys pregnant (which is a huge emotional trip for both of them in its own right) they do eventually sort of agree they dont want their kid exposed to that whole world of mystery. like, ik its a vital thing to the whole family, and ik these two people were probably voted least likely toĀ ā€˜settle downā€™ in high school, but i cant imagine they didnt escape the kur/zak situation without a LOT of trauma, so while the saturdays stay in the cryptozoology field, doyle and abbey slowly pull away from the mystery and mercenary stuff, and also instead of going for big dollar lifestyle settle withĀ ā€˜independently wealthyā€™ parenting.
also, neither of them really . grasp the concept that theyve even started a family, and areĀ ā€˜togetherā€™, and that this is REAL, until around when she gets pregnant with their second daughter, Kendall. and then theyre like. oh nooo wait are we actually like boyfriend and girlfriend EWW-
when kendall is born parker is 3, and the next like 10+ years are pretty smooth sailing. as far as what the kids know/see, they probably know the cryptids when theyre little but. (tw animal death sORRY TO BE DARK I JUST??????) idk,, how long komodo dragons live/how old komodo already is and i definitely dont know Anything about giant prehistoric birds and am not even sure if science knows that lifespan, so. im not sure how long they could really be in each others lives??? i almost imagine parker would have memories of them that she assumes she remembers wrong, likeĀ ā€œoh yeah they used to have a lizard and a bird... my imaginative little kid brain thought they were a komodo dragon and a dinosaurā€, and as for fisk im still working on it but i . actually kind of imagine he might have a much longer lifespan (since lemurians are like ancient or w/e? and also if hes by dna like a gorilla cat or w/e gorillas at least live long af) and also feel like once he got older and settled down a bit he might live somewhere in the woods, maybe even his old tree? and the saturdays see him ALL the time obviously, but hey zaks gotta go to college eventually, a gorilla cats gotta eat bugs in forest, we all have to grow up and leave the nest sometime,
so idk the last time parker has actually seen fisk and she might assume he was an imaginary friend or smth but, 1. if i do write a fic they absolutely have to meet again, 2. overall the vibe is they know the saturdays are cryptozoologists, like, the same way josh gates does destination truth, seeking answers and studying, they dont really. know that theyre REAL. to them its like, a hypothetical science. (this is also part of why they dont realize parker is kur, she isnt around cryptids and therefore whenever her powers would actually show up they wouldnt be recognized) anyways parker isnt embarrassed or put off by it but just thinks its a little wacky, meanwhile kendall is obsessed with the world of mystery/paranormal/cryptic lol
speaking of the girls personalities;;;
parker is like. not really normie/preppy, even if she seems it at first glance, shes nice and has a good head on her shoulders but also is a teenage girl (inherently unhinged) and shes THEIR teenage girl (+5 feral) so despite her success and charm shes also very witty/crass when she wants to be, and deep down shes closer to the kind of person that would on pure inexplicable instinct put something random in your mouth when youā€™re yawning so you bite down on it afterwards. or like. that video of the girl singing in the bathroom while her friends curl their hair and she grabs the curler to use as a microphone before realizing its burning hot??? shes. the voice of reason, but the voice is usually shrieking in fear, making a cursed joke, or half the time whatever shes saying is actually smart. she kinda wants to go to college and travel, but struggles with indecisiveness and anxiety, so she has no idea where to go, what to major in, etc. and is again kinda just livin thru the typical teen life in that regard
kendall on the other hand is like. weird kid culture, the kind of kid that believes they are secretly a new supernatural creature each year (mermaid phase, werewolf phase, alien phase, etc), probably completely accidentally starts cults or witch covens at school (didnt realize teaching peers how to become ā€˜blood brothersā€™ and ā€˜make potionsā€™ from puddles and stolen school supplies would be taken so seriously by parents) , very into emo/scene/punk/alt culture but not rly in an overtly dark/edgy way, more of a having fun and expressing self way. she wants answers for everything, really loves mysteries and being open minded, and definitely a rebel/adventurer at heart, even if she gets naive or in over her head sometimes.
the girls get along well! parker is not dismissive of kendall she just. isnt really into the same stuff/is more freaked out by it most of the time, but she would tag along on certain adventures, especially if it was to keep her safe. and kendall definitely directs gentle mockery towards parker a lot but does see her as a good role model and guiding figure, their bond is really strong!
other details !
doyle and abbey prob decide to say fuck it and get married after kendall is born, they probably have a few rough patches but nothing is more important to them than the kids now and in the end they understand each other better than anyone else so . canon tension idk her! family ftw! power couple! they intimidate the teacher during parent teacher conferences together hand in shady little hand !
their parenting style is exactly what one would imagine, 70% fun and sass and controlled chaos where theyre the bigger children than their children, 15%Ā ā€˜this is how you hack the government and dual wield swords-- i was not supposed to teach you that im sorryā€™, and 15% actual guidance / emotional depth / etc. flaws might be overcoming their own immaturity for the first few years, and then being lowkey overly protective (while claiming they arent, but just bc you semi jokingly tell parker she should join the football team doesnt mean you dont actually hide 60% of ur life from her and check that her bedroom windows are locked every night and have 24 people listed in her school emergency contacts and used to cut up her food till she was 7 and-)
so abouT THE BABY BOY (Phoenix), 1. his middle name is leonidas bc im gay and i love emotional turmoil babes , 2. fully unironically the idea behind such a late pregnancy is abbey would be mid fourties when hes born right. so like. [has two kids]Ā ā€˜ok birth control timeā€™ [when theyre teens many years later]Ā ā€˜ok im old enough to stop taking thisā€™ [the hyperfertility curse that plagues many women rears its ugly head with one last hoo-rah]
and finALLY a very quick elevator pitch of what id write an actual fic to focus on;;; kendall sneaks into the attic to look for old shit bc they BOTH know their parents have been hiding stuff over the years, she finds things like a cryptopedia (now offline), the claw, maybe even a piece of the kur stone, and ropes parker into the long haul of figuring out what all this stuff is. and ofc the second they ever find the naga relic and parker comes face to face with it, [rest in rip] time for mom and dad to find out and all this kur shit to start ALL over again-

Episode 3 -Ā "I am like... a very good person." - Nikias
Tumblr media
I forgot what i said last but this tribe swap was very good for me. I kept two allies Mitchell and Sarah. But also Aidan and Dani were in my ā€œbest fucking people everā€ alliance so thats good. We have a fav Jenna with us. I dont want to lose but if we do its gunna hopefully be her. Im sorry but u guys are up by 2. šŸ‘€ keeping eye out for Jones and Tim.
Tumblr media
I was honestly sad about the swap because i liked my tribe so much. However, im excited to see how this all plays out. It seems like we got active fans on our tribe so hopefully group challenges will work well!
Tumblr media
TRIBE SWAP HAPPENED FUCK originally I was gonna sue the hosts,,, ORIGINALLY I was gonna file a restraining order,,,,, but,,, the more I thought about it,, and the more I talked with everyone on my "new tribe",,, I'm feeling okay? which is SHOCKINg for my standards let me elaborate,, I put "new tribe" in quotes because is it REALLY a new tribe when 5 of the 6 people are from the same original tribe? The tribe consists of myself, Nick, Tim, TJ, JD, and Nikias. Which is GREAT for me for a whole list of reasons... I don't think we'll lose as much because we have comp threats like JD and Nick on our team. If we DO lose, we have an easy boot in Nikias. And if we lose AGAIN, I'm in a 3 person majority with Nick and Tim (and maybe even TJ too) .So no matter how this swap ends up, I don't think I'll be the first person booted if we go to a tribal council at any point. which is GREAT. Actual now that I think about it, if we never go to tribal, that would be even more incredible. Because I think I'm doing a decent job at pulling Nikias onto my side. I don't think he's a bad person, and if we do lose, it would absolutely SUCK because he's really cool/could be a good ally down the road. actually now that I think about it,, I've talked more with Nikias in one night than I've talked to JD in a week? is that saying a lot? I think so. I ACTUALLY MESSAGED JD TOO and she was like "can I get back to you later? I'm busy" WHICH IS FINE and it's a lot better than leaving me on read BUT LIKE,,,, okay Jan. If I WERE to hypothetically go to tribal,,, I'd much rather see JD go than Nikias, but I'm not sure if I can help that? It really depends on what everyone else wants to do, because I don't really wanna stray away from the majority of the group at the first tribal I go to yk? Like,,, everyone on the tribe knows she's good in challenges, and if we ever LOSE a challenge, why get rid of the person who's best at challenges? IDK. hopefully we don't go to tribal at all? and I don't have to worry about losing ANYONE? that'd be great, thanks! god why couldn't i have been switched onto a tribe with Jose, thinking about this would've been WAY easier.
Tumblr media
So the swap: I feel really good about the swap bc 4/6 people in it are in an alliance. First of all, I want to win the challenge. Second, if we donā€™t win the challenge, Iā€™ve wanted Mitchell out for a while now and I think Jenna will vote anyone to save her ass. I just hope the others stick to our alliance. It would be completely idiotic for them not to bc we have the numbers already, but who knows
Tumblr media
SO THIS REWARD CHALLENGE IS scary,,,,,, not because I think I'm gonna lose or anything,, but it's because I think I have an actually decent score? Idk what Obey the Game standards are, but I got to level 108. which SUCKs if it actually is a good score, because I'm not too sure if I want to win this challenge. I feel like i'm in somewhat of a good position right now, and I don't need the idea of having an idol clue putting a target on my back. I have other people on my tribe (and on other tribes) that would share their clues with me,, I don't need people to know that I have one. hopefully that makes sense Best case scenario: Nick/Tim win - and they share it with me either way Maybe Okay Scenario?: TJ/Nikias/I win - not sure if either TJ or Nikias would share it with me, and I don't want to the target on my back. Worst Case Scenario: JD wins. She won't share it with me. And she probably wouldn't say anything if she won lol. so lets LOSE THIS THING, BABY, WOOHOO
Tumblr media
Tribe swap... Tribe swap... Tribe swap... Tribe swap... Ā I still don't know how I'm personally doing in this game. This tribe swap is either going to make me or break me. There are four people from the other tribe and literally the ONE person I didn't want on my new tribe from my old tribe.. is honestly the ONE person I got stuck with. Is this some sick joke? Am I being Punk'd? Is this some sort of karma for being a bad human being from time-to-time? It's always hard to figure out what exactly my game plan is going forward. I'm honestly terrified of having a bad score and being voted out because I'm a weak-link. It's so much harder when you lose and there's only 5 other fucking options. I guess as of right now I'm trying to focus on making some social bonds. Sammy gave me that super idol so hopefully there is something there... Alyssa is basically me if I was 21, American, and like super pretty. Chelsea has some potential and JosĆ© is a stoner like me? So I can work with this.. I just need them to want to work with me....
Tumblr media
FUCK THIS PARANOIA OKAY I gotta give myself a lil more respect I've been freaking out for like,,,, 7 years now about who my "number one" should be - whether that be Sammy, Tim, Alyssa Nick TJ etc etc etksjadslfk the only person that can be my number one is me I can't keep looking out for every single person in this game - sure, it's nice to have people looking out for me, and I can always reciprocate it. But my top priority will always be the betterment of my game. I can't devote so much trust to so many people. If I had to rank the people in trust that I've met thus far (from most trustworthy to least), it would be Sammy > Tim > Alyssa > Nick > TJ > Nikias > JD > Jenna > Chelsea > Jose. So yeah.Ā  This is Guacamole Jones' Decree of Solitude: I will resort to writing down all of my info (so I never forget) I will be honest with the people that are honest with me. But I will not share this information with anyone, but myself. If anyone wants to open up to me, I will consider sharing a piece of my info but never the whole truth, and never anything more. I will share what is best for me. So I may receive the hypothetical One Million Dollars (- tax) Signed, (with love) Jones.

So I feel pretty great about my new tribe. Ā 5 original favorites and only 1 fan. Ā Nik got 2 votes last Tribal and seems to be on the outs with his old tribe. Ā Furthermore he seems like a good dude who if I can protect may give me his full loyalty going forward. Ā I also was lucky to swap with both Tim and Jonesy. Ā I also have a deal with JD and TJ. Ā So if we have to go to Tribal Iā€™m not sure who is best for me to vote. Ā Iā€™ll likely let the rest of the group decide and play along. Ā I am trending towards a leadership role, which is good for building a resume to win but with 18 ppl left itā€™s kind of early to be looking that far ahead. Ā As of now itā€™s better Ā to just stay under the radar and not make any waves.
Tumblr media
Well, this swap was interesting. I reconnected with a great friend in Nikias and think I have a solid ally there moving forward. Iā€™m glad I get the chance to build my relationship with Jones and Tim more, and Iā€™m excited to learn more form Nick and JD. Overall, Iā€™m very curious how this is going to go!
Tumblr media
So how do i feel about my tribe swap? well in one word pretty weird.. The thing is that i am in a situation 5-1 which is pretty scary and it will be almost imposible to find cracks but on the other side i really like some people on this tribe. I feel like if i can make connections and play the card that i was on the bottom on the other tribe and that i hated my tribe, that could make them feel more secure with me. Its like i am in a bad position but it's a new begining in this game but i will just try to put myself in the best position possible. I am gonna try to be as carefull as i can be with my words and be better socially and work with people that are working together. But what is the best thing and the worst thing at the same time is that these 5 are strong competitors and i am like... a very good person. They can help me stay safe by winning immunity, but there is no doupt in my mind that i am gonna drag them down in the challenges and that's a really good argument of getting rid of me apart from being the only fan there.
Tumblr media
ok soooo I have been talking with a bunch of peeps and I am trying to get a solid group that I can rely on. Ā I am super tight with Jones and TJ and I have talked a lot. Ā Also I am trying to get close with Alyssa. Ā Anyways, I think I have covered my ground with the active people. Ā Jenna is on and off a lot so I am not sure how well I can depend on her in the future but ya never know. Ā I feel bad for the fans tribe too tbh bc like they really flopping lmaoooo. Ā I hope there is a swap soon so that I can meet new people but also switch the game up a bit. Ā ILL TALK TO YALL LATER
Tumblr media
So I go to bed early, cus I'm super tired from the competition (no I will not stop bragging about it lol) and when I work up, we won the challenge but i have like... 3 less people on my team. No need idea what happened. But I like it..oops to the person I'd just made an alliance with who is now on a tribe alone.... Was that one in the Alliance? I'm gonna have to check that lol the host are amazing, you've all been so go to me while I've been super busy, sorry of rigging me an idol, and trust me... I asked :( they are to good lol

I am a little it annoyed with how this game is going for myself, I am not sure if I want to trust Nick as much as I did before, we will see I suppose. But something that struck me funny is that out of 6 of us on this tribe 5 went to search the Rainforest, and I was the only one that went to search the mountains. Now, the only thing I can think of is that the clue had something to do with Water, close to it or around it or, like 'hey, dont get wet'. BECAUSE GUESS WHO FOUND THE IDOL? The one that didn't go to the rainforest, the one that didn't know anything about the clue! But I found it over by the stream on the mountain sooooo that is what I assume the clue said.Ā  Anyway, I'm feeling really on the out's and right now I am only really liking talking to Jones, I know its not just about liking to talk to people but you gonna have something to talk about right? *sigh* anyway, sad JD here, sitting on the outside of her tribe, but still bringing home the challenge cus I was the only one that did the rap part in the Riff-Off. I wish I could say like, Canadian gotta rep that Drake, but I dont know much of his shit but I love that part of the riff-off (sunglasses) (((( Ā https://dumielauxepices.net/sites/default/files/sunglasses-emoji-clipart-oversized-784794-395105.jpg Ā  ))))

So this Immunity challenge my team didn't work together very well. Ā We picked IMO a hard song to build a theme and story with. Ā In addition I was a very weak teammate this round. Ā I had a bunch going on and didn't record any video. Ā I tried to give input in ways we could be creative... but all in all I was one of the weakest links to the losing team. Ā For that I am a little nervous. Ā However I think I am in a good spot with Tim and Jonesy. Ā I have shared my idol clue with them and am working on building a trusting relationship to help me get to the end. Ā IN addition I've been having good one on one talks with JD, TJ, and Nikias. Ā I don't think my name is coming up from any front as a result of the work I'm doing sharing info with them all and making them feel apart of my gameplay. Ā TBH I don't know who to vote. Ā I like Nik alot and I believe him when he says he is on the outs with his old tribe and I think if I saved him he would be in my pocket for the rest of the game... Ā but I also think voting out a favorite could make me a target in a new swap to a group of favorites that want revenge. Ā So, really no reason to make waves. Ā Prob going to have to vote Nikias because it makes the most strategic sense.
Tumblr media
Well that was a rough first week, back to back to back losses and tribal councils. Thankfully I wasn't among the first two leaving the game, but before we could even reconnect after Bee's departure, we were Ā thrown into a swap unprepared. Desperately wishing that my alliance had planned for a swap this early, but we were all thinking it wouldn't be for another tribal or two. My tribe broken and divided, I was lucky to land in a tribe with a majority of fans, while three of my tribe mates were thrown to the wolves in the other two tribes. Im worried that our success in the last immunity challenge, will be the death of Nikias, as he's the only fan in his tribe.
Tumblr media
Shit I almost forgot to confess!! Im so glad that my tribe consists of mostly OG favorites and one fan! Im also HAPPY that I got to swap with Nick and Jones. At this point she's my number 1 ally. Together we searched the idol system but found NOTHING I'm- .Ā 
Tumblr media
We swapped this week and have 5fans/1fave AND we arenā€™t going to tribal this week. Life is good
Tumblr media
Omg we swapped and Iā€™m on my same tribe basically. 5/6 of us were originally on arakaka. But we finally arenā€™t going to tribal so thank god!! Judges were harsh though because we tried pretty hard okkk. Anyway I love the tribe still.HAPPY??
Tumblr media
I think getting the numbers at the tribe switch is a blessing and a curse. I'm glad I'm with most of my "alliance" from the first tribe and definitely glad that I'm with Dani but I think it's going to give me this facade that I'm Arakaka strong until the end and I'm not sure. Playing in this new ORG environment where I don't really know anyone makes me feel like playing with no regrets. I don't owe any of these people anything and I trust absolutely none of them at this point...... I'm warming up to Mitchell more and more but I'm not sure how he fits in with the others. I do think he'll be loyal but who knows. I don't want to fry his chickens up in a Popeyes three piece just yet. As for Jenna... she's funny but bland with me? Maybe I need to try more but I'm threatened by her social game. But apparently she got 20th last time? I don't know how to feel about her. I think somebody on the ther tribe mentioned knowing her or being threatened by her. Maybe her scores were good? I have no idea but eh. At this point I just want to find a core three to move forward with but most of these people suck and I don't know if there already is one.Ā 
Tumblr media
So I've been with my new tribe for about 3 days now and I honestly still don't 100% know how I feel about this whole tribe swap ordeal. I PERSONALLY like the people on my new tribe better. My new tribe members are more personable (with the exception of JosƩ) and I don't feel like I'm wasting their time by talking to them like I had previously felt on my old tribe. As of right now I do feel a tad bit more comfortable with Devon. He gave me his idol clue but I'm not too sure if he's just really trying to make me fall for this or not? Maybe he has already found the idol? WHO KNOWS? Alyssa is super fucking cool. We don't really talk about the game as much so that kind of scares me BUT there hasn't been a lot of game to talk as of yet? SO maybe that will change going forward (I hope so). Alyssa is someone I can see myself working tbh. Alyssa and Sammy are definitely the two from the old Horososo Tribe who have reached out to me the most. They are the social King and Queen of this tribe. CONFIRMED. Knocking on wood here.. BUT if we ever go to Tribal MAYBE just MAYBE they'll not vote out JosƩ and not me? Praying to Gaga.
Tumblr media
I won reward which was the idol clue. It doesnt really help me much but it does say there are other items as well in the game. And we won immunity whichbis great. Im so happy not having to go to tribal.
Tumblr media
moooood ok i donā€™t mind the swap bc everythingā€™s going ok and im still not pming people meidgjskdkf but the comp went rly good!!! we came in second but i found out thereā€™s three tribes so itā€™s ok! judges think there was literally too many ads and it wasnā€™t the challenge but have u ever seen a full video without ads on youtube lmao
Tumblr media
So my file corrupted on my original video for the challenge but I was able to submit something thanks to Jonesy. We lost anyways lmao and it looks like the vote tonight will be Nikias. Sorry pal but the numbers are just there.
Tumblr media
Iā€™m going on a date tonight so Iā€™m case I donā€™t get to submit a video tonight, I just want to be VERY clear: I fucking LOVE Jess and would DIE for her. F2 homie vibes
Tumblr media
So pretty much, I've been pretty much invisible the entire week, and it's been great. I'm letting my tribe drag me for now, and personally, i think with how things are going, we're going to continue to win challenges, and I don't have to worry until I reach another swap, which at that point, personally, I'm just going to go all in and people are going to be like... where did this bitch come from? LMAO
Tumblr media
I couldn't be more happy to be on the strongest tribe! Sammy and Alyssa are quite close, but they are also tight with Chelsea. That leaves 2 options: 1. Get them to vote out Jose, based on inactive attitudes. He won't supply them with any use later down the road. 2. Get Jose to draw rocks with myself and Jess, leaving the odds in a 1/4 against me going in rocks. I'm torn on what the best strategy is, but for now, I need to establish the best personal connections possible and hope our tribe secures immunity all the way into the next swap/an eventual merge.

Who is your favorite OC? Pls share their backstory I must knowšŸ‘€
to be honest itā€™s totally Devon. Iā€™ve had him sinceee about the 6th grade, and heā€™s been concrete since about 7th grade (Iā€™m almost a junior!). Heā€™s so important to me :ā€™). Whenever I feel sad I just work on him or write about him and it cheers me up real fast.Ā 
haha his backstory is a loooong, complicated mess. I literally went on an 1.5-2 hour rant about his backstory at a sleepover once, it was ridiculous how long it took for me to talk about him. I actually wrote a response for this ask yesterday, but it got deleted I hate my life. It was soooo long because I wrote it in the way I speak. Youā€™re probably getting a lot more than you bargained for :ā€™). Iā€™ll put it below the cut so everyone else doesnā€™t suffer.Ā 
im gonna use bullet points bc i like them and theyre shorter
note: universe is like. sci-fi. thereā€™s space stuff you know
full name: Devon Mateo Westmore
born: August 16thĀ 
a leo!!! do with that what you will
as far as parents go, theyā€™re kinda dicks basically
Devon was a complete accident and heā€™s kind of treated as such
theyā€™re pretty neglectful?? they really dont give a crap abt him frankly
theyā€™re more interested in making bank with their jobs and turning up
has a sister whoā€™s like graduating or smthn. sheā€™s old. her nameā€™s LucĆ­a.Ā 
she also could give less than a crap about him and had a similar experience with their parents; just wants to be free and have no attachment to this rando babyĀ 
is a total Problem Childā„¢ during school because of his messy life, just wants attention and love really but never really gets it
universally hated by teachers all his life
high school is especially rough he is a disaster
heā€™s basically like party all day every day bitches bc is parents are never home/probably wouldnt reprimand him for going out anyways
he drinks a lot, does drugsĀ 
he bangs a lot of people irresponsibly. A LOT of people.
is a player tbh he will flirt with anyone. very pansexual.Ā 
makes a lot of (bad) friends 2 fill the Voidā„¢ and does a lot of illegal things
anyway fast forward to when heā€™s like 17-18 and schoolā€™s like yep time to graduate!! and hes basically like
but he does graduate in order for the story to move forward
but now heā€™s like careers????????
all heā€™s kind of enjoyed is music throughout high school but heā€™s like thats not what i want to do.Ā 
yolo, he probably says to himself one day.Ā Iā€™ll just join the military and become a space pilot because thats what I wanted to do when i was 8
so BASICALLY i havenā€™t figured out how I want this space military to work but he ends up in like an academy (heā€™s like around 19ish) or smthnĀ 
this is where he starts to like chill tf out tbh
he discovers that he likes this a lot?? and heā€™s like dedicated to it???
a lot of like. coping happens and he has to figure out what kind of person he wants to be and recoverā„¢ himself
but yah he does well and he ends up being valedictorian nice going m8Ā 
basically if youā€™re #1 in your class you get the opportunity to go to this like. school/training thingy. and itā€™s very exclusive but if you like graduate from their youā€™re like. setĀ 
its like harvard except you could die thereĀ 
yolo, he thinks in yet another life decision he really shouldnā€™t be taking lightly. I want $$$$ so iā€™m about to make that place my bitch
he does not make that place his bitch
he suffers so much
by the end of the year/2 years heā€™s there, he does pretty well
He makes a bunch of good friends, and he gets a ton of experience. heā€™s really good because of it, as to be expected
while there the top of the class is this girl and her name is Adella
shes my daughter
Devon likes her but sheā€™s like super stand-offish and heā€™s a party kid so heā€™s like
ā€œhard pass.ā€
but he has like mad respect and he thinks sheā€™s chill
the feelings mutual
anyways like RIGHT before they graduate she gets recruited to this special program because sheā€™s top of the class and like disappears he never sees her again
sike
but not for a while at leastā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦
so like fast forward heā€™s like 23 maybe
heā€™s got a good job, heā€™s living it up really?? heā€™s just like pretty happy all around he has a life, an apartment, friends
he gets an email from this girl and sheā€™s like yo
Iā€™m Tamara, my mother passed away recently but I discovered that our parents are apparently siblings?? I never knew I had a cousin, I heard you live in the area and I was just wondering if you wanted to get to know each otherĀ 
and hes basically like damn if iā€™m about to pass up this chance!!!!!!!!
Tamara works as a programmer literally one (1) city awayĀ 
basically they just?? end up getting along really well?? Devon spends a lot of his off days hanging out with her
heā€™s so ecstatic to finally have someone whoā€™s his family like she treats him like a little brother
probably Tamara also has a younger sibling, their name is Calix. they work as a doctor and dont see Tamara often but the two are close regardless
theyā€™ll be important later but for rn theyā€™re not relevant
anyway, at some point they make plans for Devon to meet Tamara and he ends up at her work
and sheā€™s chilling with this guy who is absolutely
fucking
gorgeous
Devonā€™s sure he died, right there, behind a goddamn cubicle,,
heā€™s frantically trying to think up something suave to say (are you the only tennesseeĀ noā€“ waitā€“) when Tamara notices him
she introduces him to her hot friend, his name is Shay
Devon tries to play it cool
ā€œHey would you mind if Shay came wā€“ā€
ā€œNO NOT AT ALL I WOULDNT MINDā€
they go out for lunch
he chills out a little bit on the way enough to be his usual self
Shay mistakes flirting for good-natured joking
Devon suffers
They exchange numbersĀ 
cue piningĀ 
Shay continues to be oblivious
He has to be told point blank by Tamara whos like ā€œPlease, for the love of all that is good, fuck himĀ go on a date with my cousin.ā€
ā€œHas he been asking me on dates every time he takes me out?? every time??ā€
I love Shay so much u dont even know
Shay is basically a really pure and happy person, literally nothing can get him down ever heā€™s just trying to live his best life
heā€™s everything to Devon, heā€™s so sunshiney and nice and Devon has just been through some stuff and his life is going well and now he has been blessed with this beautiful, perfect boyā€¦.,,,
itā€™s not like Devon has never dated anyone before, most of his relationships have been purely physical but heā€™s been in romantic relationships w people
but this is like. it he knows it.Ā 
they date for about a year, everythingā€™s fantastic
and then
things are heating up politically, and Devonā€™s in the military so they need him somewhere else
right now everyones living in like?? around india somewhere and they need him in like. canada.
hes understandably upset
heā€™s gotta move. acROSS THE GLOBE.
heā€™s not going to break up with bae but theyā€™ve got to talk through this like Adultsā„¢
so they talk through it
and Shayā€™s basically like
ā€œfuck no, iā€™m moving with you idiot
did you think you were just going to move away from me bench?? sikeā€
they move in together
I used to have their apartment layout drawn up on homestyler but they reset the system and itā€™s gone into the void so iā€™ll have to remake it :ā€™)
so now theyā€™re moved in which is super great everything is popping
remember Calix? theyā€™re relevant again
basically, Calix has been dating this girl for a while now and theyā€™ve gotten serious but their relationship is not working out because she is a mess tbh and they love each other very much but they are not good for each other
Calix isnā€™t emotionally receiving or helpful heā€™s very blunt so they end up splitting up because she doesnā€™t need a relationship Ā 
Said girl is Adella
Adella is a mess basically
the program she was recruited for made her very successful, very well known in her field and in a lot of ways, among common people
but downside is there was a lot of government dirty work she was kind of pressured into doing
thereā€™s also a lot of hush hush skirmishā€™s that have been occurring that she had to stop
sheā€™s been struggling with depression for a lot of her life and she has PTSD so when her contract is up she decides to take a breakā„¢Ā 
her and Calixā€™s relationship kind of falls apart but sheā€™s friends with Tamara and sheā€™s like I need to leave somewhere and get out of this messiness, iā€™m going to move back home (Canada)
Tamara is like
LIGHTBULB DING DING DING
she doesnā€™t think that Adella shoudnt be on her own, she wants someone to supervise her and make sure she doesnt accidentally starve or smthn
she has the best intentions but she kind of tricks Devon and Shay tbh
ā€œHey you guys got an apartment with an extra room?? Can you take in my friend for a while, sheā€™ll pay rent, she has a job sheā€™s just trying to find a nice place to live but she needs to move to the area rnā€
the two of them are like ā€œyeah sure lol sounds legit tammy we ly
Adella shows up on their doorstep with the intention to live there for like 2 years
cue Shay internally flipping his shit over this lowkey celebrity whos going to LIVE in HIS APARTMENT DEVON DID YOU CLEAN THE KITCHEN
Devon is not phasedĀ 
he knows Adella from school so heā€™s just kind of like hey its u whats banging girlie
he basically just treats her like normal and she is so appreciativeĀ 
basically they become SQUAD i love them and thats the beginning of my story and thus ends backgroundĀ 
iā€™m sorry this was so long i tried so hard but i got carried away. double sorry for taking so long I have like 3 end of school projects due rip me
Thank you so much for asking!! I canā€™t tell you how much it means to me :ā€™)) If you made it this far through my story I applaud you. thanks for reading!!! Feel free to message me if you have any questionsĀ
