Summary: After their first performance at Coachella ended, San finally got what he wanted from the group's makeup artist.

Word Count: 1,4k

Genre: smut 18+, MDNI

Warnings: smut, breakup

The bustling energy of Coachella was like an electirc current, thrumming through the veins of the city. The group had just wrapped up their first performance and the adrenaline was still coursing through their bodies as they descended from the stage. Among them was San, his heart pounding not just from the thrill of performing but also from the anticipation of what might come later.

San had been flirting with Y/N, the group's makeup artist, for almost a year. His intentions had always been clear in his own mind- he wanted her, physically, with a fervor that bordered on obsession. He admired her from a distance during the chaotic days of rehearsals and performances, his gaze often lingering longer than it should. But she had always been unavailable, locked in a long-term relationship that kept her just out of reach.

Tonight, however, San noticed a change in her demeanor. Y/N was usually lively, her presence bright and engaging, but tonight she seemed withdrawn, her smile less frequent, but San's focus was fixed on her. He knew something was different.

As the evening wore on, the group moved to the backstage area, where the atmosphere was filled with laughter, chatter and the clinking of glasses. San, ever observant, grabbed two cups of alcohol and made his way over to Y/N. She was sitting off to the side, her eyes distant and reflective.

"Hey," San said, handing her a cup. "You were amazing tonight, as always."

Y/N managed a small smile. "Thanks, San."

He took a seat beside her, their shoulders almost touching. "You okay? You seem a bit... off."

She sighed, taking a sip from her cup before speaking. "I broke up with my partner two weeks ago."

San's heart skipped a beat. He knew he should feel sympathy, but all he felt was an overwhelming rush of opportunity. "I'm sorry to hear that," he said, trying to keep his tone gentle. "That must be tough."

Y/N nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Yeah, it is. But I'm here and I want to focus on the positives."

"Well," San said, raising his cup, "here's to new beginnings."

She clinked her cup against his, the ghost of a smile playing on her lips. They drank together, the alcohol burning a path down their throats and loosening ther inhibitions. One drink led to another and soon, the space between them seemed to shrink.

As the night progressed, the conversation flowed more freely, the alcohol dulling the edges of Y/N's pain and sharpening San's desire. He leaned closer, his hand brushing against her, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper.

"You know, Y/N, I've always admired you. You're so talented and beautiful."

Y/N looked at him, her eyes searching his. "San, I'm not sure this is a good idea..."

But her words lacked conviction and San seized the moment. "Why not? We're both adults. We can decide what we want."

He leaned in, his lips capturing hers in a heated kiss. She responded almost immediately, her hands tangling in his hair as the last of her reservations melted away. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent more demanding. San's hands roamed her body, pulling her closer as their need for each other grew.

Before they knew it, they were stumbling down the hall towards San's room, their hands and lips never leaving each other. The door barely closed behind them before they were tearing at each other's clothes, driven by a primal, drunken lust that left no room for tenderness or affection.

San pushed Y/N against the wall, his mouth devouring hers as his hands explored her exposed skin. She moaned into his mouth, her fingers clawing at his back as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He lifted her effortlessly, carrying her to the bed where he threw her down and followed her, their bodies colliding in a frenzy of need.

"Fuck, Y/N, you're so hot," San growled into her ear, his hands gripping her hips as he positioned himself above her. "I've wanted this for so long."

Y/N's breath hitched, her back arching off the bed as she pulled him closer. "Then take me San. Make me forget everything."

He didn't need anymore encouragement. San thrust into her with a force that made her gasp, his hands holding her in place as he set a relentless pace. "God, you feel amazing," he groaned, his lips brushing against her ear. "So tight, so perfect."

Y/N's nails dug into his back, her legs wrapping around his waist as she met his every thrust. "Harder, San," she demanded, her voice breathless and filled with need. "Fuck me harder."

San's eyes darkened with lust as he complied, his movements becoming more frantic, more desperate. "You like that, don't you?" he panted, his hand slipping between them to find her clit. "You like it rough."

"Yes," Y/N moaned, her head thrown back as waves of pleasure crashed over her. "Don't stop. Please, don't stop."

Their bodies moved together in a heated rhythm, their voices mingling in a symphony of moans, gasps and whspered obscenities. San's fingers worked her clit with expert precision, pushing her closer and closer to the edge.

"You're going to cum for me, aren't you?" he whispered, his breath hot against her neck. "I want to feel you cum around me."

"Yes," Y/N cried out, her body trembling as the pleasure built to an umbearable peak. "Oh, God, yes."

With afinal, powerful thrust, San sent her over the edge. Y/N's body convulsed beneath him, her cries of ecstasy filling the room as she came hard around him. The sensation pushed San to his own climax and with a guttural moan, he followed her into oblivion.

When they finally collapsed beside each other, spent and breathless, the room was filled with the sound of their heavy breathing. San looked over at Y/N, her hair disheveled, her skin flushed and he felt a sense of satisfaction. He had gotten what he wanted, but as he lay there, he couldn't help but wonder what would come next.

Y/N turned to him, her eyes still clouded with the aftermath of their passion. "This doesn't mean anything," she said, her voice firm despite the lingering haze of alcohol.

San nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "I know. It was just... what we both needed."

She closed her eyes, exhaustion taking over. "Yeah, just what we needed."

As she drifted off to sleep, San stared at the ceiling, his mind racing. The lust had been satisfied, but it left behind an emptiness that he hadn't aticipated. This wasn't love; it was a physical release, a momentary escape from reality. And as the night wore on, San realized that he was okay with that. For now, it was enough.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Y/N stirred beside him, her eyes fluttering open as she took in her surroundings. The reality of the night before hit her and she sat up, pulling the sheets around her.

San watched her, a lazy grin on his face. "Good morning."

Y/N gave him a small smile. "Morning. I should probably go."

He nodded, watching as she gathered her clothes and dressed quickly. There was an awkward silence between them, the weight of their actions hanging in the air.

Before she left, she turned to him one last time. "Thanks, San. For... everything."

He nodded again, his expression unreadable. "Anytime, Y/N. Take care."

As she walked out of the room, San lay back down, his mind replaying the events of the night. It had been a moment of passion, a fleeting escape from their complicated lives. And as he closed his eyes, he knew that while it hadn't been love, it had been something they both needed.

Y/N met up with her best friend, the group's hairstylist, who had also been flirted with by Mingi for months. Unlike Y/N, the hairstylist wasn't in a relationship, but she enjoyed playing hard to get, keeping Mingi on his toes. Y/N shared the events of the night with her friend, who listened with wide eyes and a knowing smirk.

"San, huh?" the hairstylist said, nudging Y/N with her elbow. "Guess all that flirting paid off."

Y/N shrugged, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. "It was just a moment. We both needed it."

The hairstylist chuckled, shaking her head. "Well, good for you. Maybe I should stop playing hard to get with Mingi. He's been persistent."

Y/N laughed, feeling lighter than she had in weeks. "Who knows? Maybe you should. Sometimes, giving in isn't the worst thing in the world."

Astrology Observations

I do birth chart readings for $10!!! Message me for more info

Capricorn placements usually have a timeline for themselves of certain things they want to accomplish by certain ages. I've noticed if they don't reach their goals by a certain age they can be superrr hard on themselves. They are often plagued by thoughts that they aren't doing enough or they're not where they should be in life.

I've noticed that couples whose sun signs are co-rulers of the same planet usually work really well together. For example, aries and scorpio (mars) or sagittarius and pisces (jupiter).

Pisces mercury is a placement that relies on their intuition rather than logic. They somehow just know things but may not be able to express how they know it. These people are extremely creative and are usually talented artistically.

Aries moons are much more emotional than pisces moons. Pisces moons are very go with the flow and allow things to just play out. Whereas aries moons have strong feelings and reactions to everything.

Pisces mars have a difficult time expressing anger but they are very skilled at manipulation. They are pretty passive-aggressive and use manipulation to get people to do what they want. They are usually really sweet people though and they only manipulate when they feel like they have no other options.

I've noticed that virgo placements have a deep love for their pets (more than the average person). Having a pet really brings them comfort and happiness during difficult times. Animals are also very fond of them!

Mercury trine saturn grants someone mental agility. Once this person decides they want to learn or do something they have the willpower and dedication to really see it through. I really see a person with this aspect writing a book because they have the grit to get it done!

This is just my opinion but it's usually not a good idea to date your sister sign. I've seen sister sign couples have very tumultuous relationships that are full of passion but also A LOT of serious fights.

Mercury square mars can come off as aggressive even if that is not their intention. They can also be very impulsive with their words which can lead to misunderstandings in conversations. People with this aspect should slow down and really think before they speak.

Sun trine moon aspect in synastry is very harmonious. The moon person feels like home to the sun person and the feeling is usually mutual! The sun person encourages the dreams and aspirations of the moon person and makes them feel free to be themselves. They both find emotional security and comfort with one another.

Having a stellium in the 1st house or aries gives a person a very bold personality that might intimidate other people. These people are usually very comfortable being themselves and can be trend setters when it comes to fashion.

oh i like these posts. hahahahahaha! politics aside, oh well, no actually— i don’t think we can ever put aside politics when it comes to the boys ; I see cpfs sharing posts and commenting on this person’s “greeting” for wyb. and well, you will see why. she is a politician in hongkong.

[Patriotic top star Wang Yibo]

What big day is August 5? Last year, this day was the 12th anniversary of the New People's Party; it was also the birthday of Wang Yibo, a top star in the mainland.

Wang Yibo has a deep connection with Hong Kong. He was born in 1997, when Hong Kong returned to the motherland. I still remember that he sang a song "Stand Up" for Hong Kong on the 25th anniversary of the return; on July 1, 2023, he personally came to Hong Kong to attend the "Greater Bay Area Film and Music Gala" "The Moon Rises in the Bay Area", but unfortunately it did not cause much response at the time.

Although he is not a popular idol of Hong Kong people, friends who pay attention to the mainland entertainment industry know that Wang Yibo is a top star in the mainland entertainment industry; he has extraordinary dancing skills, and his status as the "King of Dance" in the mainland is unquestionable. In addition, he is also engaged in many public welfare undertakings; he recently filmed a documentary series on protecting pangolins as a public welfare ambassador of WildAid. He is an artist with both talent and virtue.

I once asked a public question in the Legislative Council: Since Hong Kong is hosting many events and concerts, the SAR government should actively consider inviting mainland top stars Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo to perform in Hong Kong. I believe that this will attract a large number of fans from the mainland and around the world to support Hong Kong and truly promote Hong Kong's concert economy.

Recently, there are two things about him that impressed me the most. First, his performance in the mainland hit drama "War of Faith" was amazing, and his acting skills have made a great leap forward. I, like many mainland audiences, think that he deserves the "Best Actor". Unfortunately, he was not nominated for the Best Actor in the list of nominees for the Shanghai TV Magnolia Awards earlier. This incident triggered a series of controversies in the mainland entertainment industry. Many people feel sorry for him.

In addition, when he was serving as a torchbearer for this year's Olympics in Paris, he saw a fan holding a mini national flag accidentally dropped it on the ground, and he picked it up spontaneously, showing his sincere respect and love for the national flag. If every young person in Hong Kong can spontaneously love the national flag and national emblem, and understand that it represents the dignity of the country, then it means that Hong Kong's patriotic education has truly succeeded.

In summary, Wang Yibo is an outstanding young man. He went to Korea for training when he was young. After years of hard work, he has mastered first-class dancing skills. His acting skills have also been recognized in recent years. Even though he is a top star with huge commercial value, he is also enthusiastic about public welfare. He is really a role model for artists. I hope that young people in Hong Kong will take him as an example and learn how to be a good young man with both talent and virtue, who loves the national flag and spontaneously safeguards the dignity of the country.

* So i guess it’s now obvious why cpfs like this post so much. it’s because both of them were mentioned. and is is what we’ve been hoping for, that they will be invited to events and probably even work on a project together because they are “positive” artists. and how important it is for them to maintain that image to stay safe in the industry. tho i have to say that it’s not hard for them cause they are good natured people. It’s not an “act”, that is just how they are.

and it’s what we’ve been saying, that these two are one of the best ways for CHN to have some soft power in the international stage. tho i’m sure they will have detractors who will be quick to pull out “evidence” of their government support and use it against them.

also months back, she also posted something about CQL. so yeah, no wonder she got popular with cpfs ⬇️⬇️

China’s “danmei” genre is booming in the West

The article “How to Tell Chinese Stories Well” (July 14) overlooks an important genre that is growing in popularity in the West and is more reflective of contemporary Chinese life than works from decades ago such as Shanghai Life and Death or The Wild Swans.

I am referring to the danmei genre of online novels. Danmei is a term that originated in Japan. This new genre has spawned a number of very successful online novels that have been adapted into extremely popular Chinese TV series and translated into English. A prominent example is The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, which was adapted into the Chinese TV series The Untamed in 2019 and translated into English and is available on Amazon.

Untamed made two young actors, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, famous in China. Another very successful work is Erha and His White Cat Shizun, which made the New York Times bestseller list in English. The English version has a wide readership in the West and is available in paperback.

Danmei novels celebrate “boys’ love”, which is officially frowned upon. A major production based on Erha, produced by Tencent, has been shelved. But the genre has a large following in China and abroad, inspiring fan art, fan works and merchandise.

Many danmei online novels are written by women for women. Why are they so popular among Chinese women? Their popularity reflects the frustrations of contemporary Chinese women: they are trapped between traditional, realistic, family-oriented marriage concepts and a desire for romance and true love, as celebrated in danmei novels. Such novels have become a channel for their fantasy and escapism. Surprisingly, these novels have also been loved by Western audiences.

While TV series based on such novels have been banned, animated versions of some popular works are still in production. The resilience of the genre, which is seen by the authorities as a departure from the official "main melody" works, reflects the delicate relationship between the authorities and the artists who create them. Most of the time, the authorities have the upper hand, but the ban has not stopped private enterprises and creative talents from finding space for the genre to thrive. Can we call it the authorities' "one eye open, one eye closed" attitude?

* this is a short but very interesting take on the whole thing. she is not even mentioning how TGCF is so popular in the mainland and continues to do so with it’s donghua and manhua. i guess it’s really one eye open and one eye closed and i hope it stays that way so that this genre will continue to thrive! i’m not holding that much expectation for the live action versions tho.

He’s Y/N’s biggest cheerleader, offering her unwavering support and understanding whenever she needs it, all while pursuing his dreams in the fashion world with quiet confidence and grace.

- Yeji is one of Y/N’s best friends, a bond that formed in middle school and has only grown stronger over the years. She is strikingly beautiful, with features that are both unique and captivating. Her rare, catlike eyes are what stand out the most, giving her an alluring, almost mysterious quality. Yeji’s beauty is undeniable, and she turns heads wherever she goes, effortlessly attracting attention from men and women alike. However, despite the constant attention, Yeji remains humble and grounded, never letting her looks define her. Majoring in Photography, Yeji is passionate about capturing the world through her lens. She has a natural talent for seeing beauty in the everyday and creating stunning visuals, often turning the camera on her friends, including Y/N. Behind her breathtaking appearance is a creative soul, someone who expresses herself through her art. She’s confident and knows her worth, but she’s also fiercely protective of her friends, always ready to step in and offer advice or defend them when needed. Yeji’s elegance, combined with her artistic vision, makes her a powerful presence in any room, but at her core, she’s just a girl who loves her friends and her craft.

Screaming fans. Blinding stage lights. A multitude of camera flashes.

It's all you've ever wanted. It's all you've ever worked for.

So where did you go wrong?

You were always told you had the X factor.

Something indescribable. Something exceptional.

Perhaps you doubted the truth to those words when you took in your rag-tag group of bandmates in your high school music room. But, your first performance together–for a crowd–was electric.

And you've been pursuing that same feeling ever since.

Now, with a recording contract, a debut album, an EP, and a #1 Billboard hit under your belt, your band is gearing up for the biggest album release of the year. With major publicity and curiosity from fans and critics alike, you can feel the potential thrumming beneath your skin. You're on the edge of a precipice. You're going to be a star.

Until the shocking truth hits the tabloids and–eventually–major news outlets.

Your career falls apart before you in a matter of days.

Your manager resigns, the media turns against you, your fans wage war against each other as lines are drawn in the sands of stardom.

You become a pariah.

How will you rebuild your legacy, and what will you sacrifice to reach the top once again?

Fifteen Minutes follows an artist in the music industry who is on the cusp of a meteoric rise in fame until a leaked scandal lands their reputation in the grave. A story about the ugly underbelly of fame, our glaring mortality, and the way love fails to save us from ourselves.

Deal with the aftermath of a career in ruins and decide on its trajectory/how your character rebuilds their tarnished reputation (if they choose to do so at all).

Romance (or befriend) a colourful cast of characters–all with varying degrees of proximity to fame and obscurity.

[THE PUBLICITY STUNT ◦ primary RO] MADDOX, 27, M/F An internationally beloved megastar with a media target on their back. A long trail of broken hearts and sordid deeds follow them, but their talent overshadows their attitude enough for those in the industry to turn the other way. For now. Caustic, jaded, and charismatic enough to get exactly what they want. Fresh out of a public breakup, they're acting out more than ever and the bitter taste of fame in their mouth might just kill them faster than their long list of enemies. RO Routes: FWB PR relationship or PR relationship with feelings involved. (Engaging in a PR relationship with Maddox is a mandatory plot point, but does not prevent MC from engaging in romance with other characters)

[THE INDUSTRY SWEETHEART ◦ primary RO] CARMEN BAILEY, 30, F ◦ she/her The antithesis to MC—a pop star that rose to fame in her teen years and has maintained relevancy well into her late twenties. Carmen Bailey is the golden girl. Gracious, kind, and praised for being family-friendly yet edgy enough to capture both old and young demographics alike, Carmen holds tightly to her image at the cost of everything else in her life. Sometimes, it's difficult to tell whether Carmen herself knows the difference between her image and herself.

[THE RECLUSIVE SOCIALITE ◦ primary RO] MATEO EL AMRANI, 25, M ◦ he/him Born to a wealthy, legendary family within the heart of Hollywood, Mateo shuns the limelight that comes with his heritage at any given opportunity. Unfortunately, the mystery surrounding him keeps the cameras and the public intrigued and hungry. Only close with his oldest brother, Elias, and has a strained relationship with the rest of his family. Often seen as quiet and emotionless by the media, Mateo in reality feels very deeply and desperately wants to know and be known by those he loves. RO Routes: Ex-friends, ex-lovers, or just acquaintances.

[THE JOURNALIST ◦ primary RO] ROBIN FRASER, 32, M/F A shrewd investigative journalist with the ability to destroy a career or launch someone into stardom.

Hani at the MAMA Awards

It was a night filled with excitement as BTS and SEVENTEEN were both set to perform at the MAMA awards. Hani sat in the audience with her fellow BTS members, eagerly awaiting their turn to take the stage. The atmosphere buzzed with energy, and Hani could hardly contain her excitement, especially knowing SEVENTEEN would be performing shortly.

As the performance began, the lights dimmed, and the crowd erupted into cheers. Hani felt her heart race as SEVENTEEN took the stage. The powerful beat dropped, and she instantly got lost in the music. With the other members of BTS beside her, she began to move to the rhythm, nodding her head and swaying her hips. The choreography was infectious, and she couldn’t resist joining in, mimicking the intricate moves she had seen countless times in practice.

What Hani didn’t realize was that the cameras were panning across the audience, capturing the reactions of fans and idols alike. As SEVENTEEN hit their key dance breaks, Hani was completely in her element, her face lighting up with joy as she vibed along to the performance. She didn’t care about anything else in that moment—she was just a fan enjoying her friends shine on stage.

A few moments later, the camera landed on her, catching her mid-move. Hani’s hair swayed as she bounced in her seat, lost in the moment. The screen showed her big smile and enthusiastic dancing, and soon, the audience erupted in laughter. BTS members next to her, including Jin and Jimin, noticed the camera’s attention and couldn’t help but tease her, pointing and chuckling.

“Look at Hani! She’s in the front row living her best life!” Jin laughed, throwing an arm around her shoulders.

Hani turned a bright shade of red, realizing she was on the big screen. “Oh no! I’m so embarrassed!” she exclaimed, burying her face in her hands.

“Don’t hide! Show them your moves!” Jimin shouted playfully, and the other members joined in, encouraging her to dance even more.

As SEVENTEEN finished their performance, the crowd erupted in applause, and Hani was still blushing but couldn’t help but feel proud. She had been caught vibing, yes, but she was also genuinely enjoying the moment—supporting her friends while celebrating their talent.

Later, after the show, Hani received a flurry of messages and mentions online, all teasing her about her enthusiastic dance moves. “I didn’t know you were such a SEVENTEEN fan!” one of her friends joked, while another sent her a screenshot of the broadcast showing her dancing.

Despite her initial embarrassment, Hani laughed it off, knowing that it was a fun memory to cherish. It reminded her of the joy of being part of such a vibrant community of artists and friends, where everyone supported and celebrated each other’s successes.

Okay, I’m at a computer again finally. I want to update and organize my rules before I do anything. It’s been a while since they’ve been changed and I really feel like I need to adjust them for my own comfort. Also, just a reminder @thylightbringer is my main Lucifer and one of my best friends. Things that reference a Lucifer in threads relate to them. We’re both silly little beans and you should definitely follow them if you don’t already. I adore B with everything I got.

Some other cool beans you should definitely follow:

@alteregozowie @radioiaci @diistortion @adflictus @solmxri @arachn0philia @gamblins @paymons @hotlhost @chasingrainbcws

They’re rather incredible writers who put great spirit and love into their muses. I haven't had the pleasure of interacting with all of them yet but I certainly watch them from afar, admiring the way that they write their muses. All of us put such depth thought love and passion into our muses and a lot of the time we don't feel like it gets seen read or cared about but that is certainly not the case. Though we might forget to leave a like or feel awkward giving a comment on something we're not a part of, everyone has carved out a wonderful spot for themselves in this silly little space.

Zowie, TJ and Luke are beautiful artists who put passion into making their muses come to life. Luke especially has poured time and effort into helping me bring Mike into reality on the wonderful art he has made for me. All three of them draw their own icons for their muses to breathe even more passion into the things they're making. The time, effort and love that has to take is beyond my small brains comprehension.

Gold I noticed draws too, I saw their wonderful art of Angel at Halloween in that kinky latex outfit which you can see on their artblog @golddraws and they are very much talented as well. I adore the way they play Angel and the absolutely amazing and hilarious Gingerbread fight that they engaged with me in. I still can't believe how long they kept that up with me without getting annoyed.

Autumn and Rory are two people I haven't gotten the chance to engage with yet but that I have carefully watched on the blog since sticking them in my pocket. Rory is very passionate about Paymon and the hcs, meta, various posts that they have made about them are absolutely brilliant to consume up. I absolutely love watching them engage with others. Autumn writes two other muses and the new bird along with Husk really are people Mike is going to scoop up and steal. Their blog aesthetics are so pretty and I adore Husk! He feels very on character from the posts I read from them. Especially with Angel, I read a lot of the Angel threads.

Charlie @chasingrainbcws is very aware of how I feel about them. Though it's been a while since we're written together (I need to throw some memes at you) they very much capture the feeling of Charlie herself from the show. I've only written with their Charlie and Emily (briefly her) but each interaction I got to do with the Princess of Hell very much felt like I could hear her voice or see her actually doing what she was in the show. I could clearly visualize our thread and I loved that. They are an amazing writer who really captures their muse well and I can't wait for the things we might get to do in the future. Either with Charlie or the other wonderful muses they write!

May @hotlhost is my newest friend who I've engaged with briefly but I loved and laughed so hard at the things we've done already. Charlie is absolutely brilliant and adorable and the interactions I've seen of them feel so spot on. Mike already very much wants to scoop his niece up and tuck her away somewhere where things won't get to her. I can't wait to see where their relationship develops when we get a real thread going!

Yata and Tordo are my friends and I will kill for them. @adflictus @solmxri are my chaotic partners in crime along with Bianca @thylightbringer. They've put up with me, listened to me ramble / cry / scream / have a breakdown more times than I can count. They've handled my for so long it should deserve some sort of metal of honor. They're all beautiful writers who have put so much time and effort into their muses (especially Tordo whose been around maybe even longer than me and created the Gabriel Yata writes), and the depth that all takes is remarkable. They all breathe such life into their muses and world and I love them. They will forever be a part of anything I create.

Feyre x Reader

FEYRE MASTERLIST

MAIN MASTERLIST

Summary: Feyre decides to join Ressina at her and her friend's studios to paint

Cw: Nervous Feyre, platonic fluff

The sun was setting as Feyre packed her paints and brushes, prepared to join Ressina who had invited her to join you both, she was nervous, having never met you before but Ressina being your close friend soothed her.

Feyre had already had a talk with Rhysand, who was more than happy for her to spend time with her friends.

As the golden hues of sunset bathed the sky in its warm glow, Feyre couldn't help but feel a flutter of nerves mixed with anticipation. Her heart pounded in her chest like a wild bird trapped within its cage, but she tried to push those feelings aside.

She was going to meet someone new tonight, you, someone who held a special place in Ressina's heart. Ressina, her dear friend, had been talking about you for weeks now. It seemed that you were not only talented but also kind-hearted. And despite all these praises. The smell of fresh paint still lingered on Feyre's fingers, reminding her of the hours spent painting.

Feyre's mind wandered as she thought about the late evening ahead. She was both anxious and curious, eager to see how things would unfold between herself and you. This wasn't just any old gathering, this was a meeting of artists, brought together by their shared love for creating beautiful pieces of art.

As Feyre stepped out into the Rainbow, outside Ressina's studio, the one she shared with you, she could already hear the soothing sounds of water flowing gently over stones, echoing through the place from the Sidra. It was a sound that always calmed her nerves, and it did so again today. But then, there was something else too, the faintest hint of laughter drifting on the breeze and Feyre wondered if it was you.

Stepping inside the studio, Feyre saw you immediately. You stood tall and confident, yet there was a warmth in your gaze that made her instantly comfortable. Your smile was genuine, and when you waved at her, she felt a rush of relief wash over her. Here was someone who didn't seem to care about the fact that they'd just met each other. They simply wanted to enjoy the company of another artist.

Ressina, seeing Feyre, walked up to her and gave her a warm hug. "Welcome," she said, leading Feyre towards you. "Feyre, this is y/n. y/n, this is Feyre."

The introduction was simple, but it set the tone for the rest of the night. You two started chatting easily, asking each other about your favourite colours, styles, and techniques.

Watching them interact brought a wave of comfort to you, as though Ressina's affection for Feyre served as a silent invitation into the group. With Ressina leading Feyre towards you, she introduced the newcomer. A gentle handshake was exchanged, accompanied by inquiries about personal preferences and aesthetics. The mood was light-hearted and cordial, like a welcoming embrace that immediately made strangers feel like old friends.

You couldn't deny that there was something comforting about seeing people who were seemingly comfortable with themselves, their passions, and those around them. It felt contagious, and it wasn't long before Feyre found herself falling into the conversation too. It almost seemed like everyone here knew each other well enough to engage freely.

There was no awkwardness or hesitation, just a genuine warmth that put Feyre at ease immediately. The three of you fell into easy conversation, finding common ground in art and creativity. Within minutes, it felt like you'd known each other forever.

Ressina, who was clearly delighted by the ease of the conversation, decided to take a break from painting. She moved around the room, fetching drinks and snacks for everyone. Leaving you and Feyre alone to paint.

"You're quite skilled, you know," You told Feyre, gesturing toward her painting. "What inspired you to start painting?"

Feyre blushed slightly at the compliment, but she smiled warmly as she answered. "It's hard to say exactly, painting has always been my comfort. I've always loved color and shape, and I think it was just natural for me to try painting."

"And I heard you are self taught, is that true?" You asked, taking a sip of your drink.

Feyre nodded bashfully as you gasped, "You are so wonderful to have learned yourself!"

There was an evident sincerity in your voice when you praised Feyre’s talent, causing a flush of pink to bloom across her cheeks. It was clear that your words meant more than mere compliments, they were spoken from admiration, the type that didn't need to be faked or forced.

Feyre easily confessed her love for painting, without flaunting or boasting. Instead, it was presented like the revelation of a fond secret, a source of joy that fueled the passionate pursuit of art.

Your own surprise seemed genuine as well. Learning oneself was considered a feat among skilled artists, especially since not all painters were fortunate enough to learn from mentors or experienced artists. However, despite her lack of formal training, Feyre's talent spoke volumes

"But..." you trailed off, thinking of something. Then, your face broke into a wide grin. "Maybe that's why your paintings seem so real. So raw, like a peek into your soul."

"And maybe that's why you keep painting Rhysand." You tease Feyre, motioning to the three paintings she had made of her mate and husband.

Your comment about the numerous portraits of Rhysand hung around the room to dry caused Feyre's cheeks to turn a shade of crimson that matched the sunset. She glanced down at her feet, avoiding eye contact as she chuckled nervously.

"I guess he's inspiring," she admitted with a shrug, trying to play it cool despite the obvious blush on her face. "He's got this... presence. It's impossible to ignore."

There was a momentary pause in the conversation as you really looked at the paintings. They weren't merely sketches or scribbles; each piece was carefully crafted, showing off Rhysand's strong features and piercing gaze. Each portrait captured him in different moods, one in particular with a babe, Nyx, you knew, "Also, can't help it," Feyre admitted with a shrug, trying to play down the importance of Rhysand in her life. "He's just so damn gorgeous, isn't he?" she added with a playful wink, trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm not sure how you want me to respond to that..." You both snort softly at your statement.

"But seriously though, he's my muse. He inspires me in ways that nothing else does." Feyre sighed, and you smiled, watching her.

Ressina returned carrying a tray laden with plates of food from Rita's. The smell wafting from the dishes was mouth-watering, a mix of spices and herbs that promised flavours bursting with life. There was pasta, freshly baked bread, and a salad that looked like it was straight out of a garden.

"Hope you guys are hungry!" Ressina announced cheerfully, setting the tray down on the table. "Rita's never disappoints!"

She then turned to Feyre, handing her a plate filled with her favourite dish. "Here, Feyre. I remembered that your favourites, got you everything." She handed you yours, "And yours too, y/n!"

As Ressina served the food, Feyre thanked her with a warm smile. "Thank you, Ressina. This looks amazing!"

"You didn't have to spend money on me though..." Feyre whispered, "I'd feel bad."

"Hey, no worries. I wanted to," Ressina replied, giving Feyre a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "And besides, Rita's is worth every coin. Trust me."

The three of you sat after cleaning up with a wave of your hands, chatting away and laughing all through dinner

no matter how many times i break, i put myself back together every damn time. oh, mm, can i be honest with you?

y/n l/n, a hyper-pop sensation that is at an all-time high in her career; her two-time grammy winning album, above her oscar-nominated directing debut cemented her as a force to be reckoned with, both in the music and film industry. and soon, in a swoon-worthy show of romance, she's flaunting an envy-worthy diamond ring graciously accompanied by a viral proposal from high school sweetheart and renowned artist, christopher brent wood.

engaged and flourishing, her world is almost too perfect to be true, tainted by the pink shades of blinding love that soon violently shatter at the hands of the only love she's ever known, the fractals painfully littering her being; heavy fragments that she can't seem to even begin piecing together.

in a battle of identity, self-expression, independence, and rebirth; the international superstar finds herself in a back-and-forth battle with herself and the people around her, finding that the dark pit she falls into, may not solely be the demise of her fairytale, but also the fall of the y/n l/n that the public came to know over the years; the catalyst to the redemption arc in finding who she really is, the girl she buried years ago.

[blitzsicedcoffee]

Introducing My Characters!

Thanks so much to everyone that voted in the naming polls! I am excited to show you all the final results and a little more about them.

These characters are for my personal WIP novel "Big Queer Liminal Train Trip"

It's about four queer arts students in New York who live on the West coast, and are taking a train back to their families for the summer. They're taking the train for some adventure! (and definitely not cause they want to prolong the time til they're back home).

They all have their own motivations and needs and wants related to family, career, themselves, and each other. But the train itself also has it's own needs and wants. And they're about to find out what those are.

I would classify it as Adult Paranormal/Science fiction.

Now, On to the main characters!:

This is Elias!

He/him, trans man, gay, aromantic , allosexual. His major is Actor/Singer. Elias is like a brother to everyone, platonic best friend love with Avi especially. He calls Margo "Mango", and Raine and Elias joke like siblings, play jokes on one another. Elias has a family that accepts him for who he is, but not "all the way" (for example, his mom saying stuff like, "Why do you need to go on hormones to be yourself").

This is Raine!

They/them, Agender, queer, allosexual and alloromantic.

Raine's Major is Music Composition, and they play the Violin. Their major stresses them out and all their friends insist they change it but they refuse (people pleaser for their parents).

Raine and Avi have had a crush on one another before, and almost kissed but then it was awkward and they didn’t so they just went their separate ways to dorms. Meanwhile now, Raine and Margo are in a romantic relationship eventually/getting there.

This is Avi!

Ze/zir, Bigender, queer, aromantic, allosexual.

Avi is the Meme lord of the group. It suits zir as zir Major is Activism Art. Ze does large scale projects as well as election memes, skits, and much more. Ze is looked up to as a meme saint by the rest of the group. Ze has a family that doesn't understand them and their humor one bit, however. Margo and Avi spend a lot of time together engaging in their shared interests like that they’re both in an art related major.

This is Margo!

She/They, genderfluid, Demi-girl, Asexual, Panromantic (changed from alloromantic to specify their romantic attraction).

Margo's Major is Digital Artist! She has been drawing since they were a little kid, and they have a talent for drawing backgrounds and details that her peers are jealous of. They couldn't be more happy with their major, but her family disagrees. Saying she's "Wasting their money" on art school. You mean the government's money from the scholarships she won? While simultaneously letting them go to art school? Kinda hypocritical there.

Anyway, her favorite things to do are take commissions from their friends, and they give them MANY. Though try as Elias might to get her to draw porn (it's where the money maker is, he says), that's just not her jam.

I hope you all enjoyed the descriptions! I'll be sharing more about them as time goes on and I flesh out the story and their relationships!

Sandman March Mania: Winner Announcement

This is it, everyone! Since March 25th, you voted every day. Four rounds, 24 amazingly talented artists who qualified, and each time one of them had to go, it hurt a little.

But we didn’t do this because we truly see these artists in competition with each other. Our goal was to get to know them better, share what moves us about their art, also have fun with the… weird depictions and generally just acknowledge:

The Sandman wouldn’t exist without them.

They all gave us unique and wonderful interpretations of Dream (and not just Dream) and we’re so grateful for all of them. So without further ado, here are your winners (are you surprised?):

1. Mike Dringenberg (50% of the vote)

2. Jill Thompson (37% of the vote)

3. Shawn McManus (13% of the vote)

And if you’d like to know how we got here, have a look at the recap of all four rounds—we really recommend you do, because each link contains all individual pairings with all the art, all the knowledgable, interesting, funny and sometimes heartbreaking stories people shared, and is generally just what fandom should be about:

Sharing the love.

Round One

Round Two

Round Three

Round Four

That’s us. We want to thank all of you who joined us over the past four weeks, because that’s also what this event was about: Something everyone can participate in. You didn’t have to write fanfic, you didn’t need to support a ship, you didn’t need to create art. You could just bond with other people over your favourite thing if you wanted to. Or simply vote.

And although we normally wouldn’t do so, we decided (after some agonising) to be annoying and tag @neil-gaiman in this to share what a small corner of fandom came together for over four weeks: To engage in, and bond over, art appreciation. We thought you might like it or think it was a silly thing to have a bracket match, or maybe both at once. But either way—we loved hosting it and joining in!

Thanks again everyone, and who knows, we might see you all again next year for something equally manic with a different topic.

Your hosts,

Hii! It's kind of funny how similarly we both got into sns fandom although i don't have any actual drawing talent to contribute to anything haahah xD

when you said you don't think you should be in the fandom tho 😭 i personally don't think you need to be super active to be in the fandom given how much you have contributed already...as in, don't put pressure or expectations on yourself...just take it lightly as something to engage and enjoy when you have the time and will to do it...

But!! i cant speak for any other issues affecting you and i honestly wish you the best

And, your art is always soooo beautiful...i have always adored your style and coloring...everything pulls together so well and effortlessly. Whatever emotions you may feel these days, I just want you to know you have a real talent for art! 🥺 Just like people have inspired you throughout your journey and even if they deleted their accounts or arent active anymore, people still remember them...know that you are also one of these people to me and many others...🥹❤️

Take care!! <33

Hi there！ Whaa- no way！！So are you claiming to be my lost twin x)? Well, thank you for all your kind words and motivational message. You guys might be tired of me saying this but just, it means so much to me！ And… uhm yeah, when I said i should never exist in this fandom, there was actually a much deeper meaning behind it. I'll probably never explain this but I understand what you mean about activity and stuff. I may never know what I look like from an outsider's perspective. Just I don't have free time anymore. I have serious responsibilities in my private life now and for this reason you will see me posting commissions from time to time. My to-do list is not only valid for this account also… I mean… i read something somewhere the other day; lying is not necessarily saying something that is not true, lying is also considered not saying that thing. So please know that I'm busy with other accounts besides my fanart account. Just, I think everyone misses their childhood times at some point. And maybe I'm at that point in my life right now …idk. I don't even know how I should feel. All I know is that as the responsibilities I have to fulfill increase, i become a more pessimistic person (as if i wasn't negative enough x))

But now it touched me deeply to know that I am someone like those artists who are precious to me in your eyes. I'll remember what you said！

Take care you too <3

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: Just 3H for all options

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! Dimitri, Constance, Dedue, Idunn, Lambert

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! Ingrid, actually! She was the first character in 3H who actually caught my eye, both because I find her design very pretty and because I liked the serious knight girl + pegasus rider combo.

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 Mycen. I won't elaborate.

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays? Three Houses Hopes: Ingrid

Favorite Fire Emblem class? Pegasus Knight!

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable? After a bizarre chat with some friends I realized that my full IRL name's meaning literally translates to "cavalier messenger angel of the fortress" so I guess I'm your good ol' Pegasus Knight recruit who's a light magic user

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? (Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, Church of Seiros, Those Who Slither in the Dark, unaffiliated civilian, other - for example Almyran) What I want? Blue Lions. Realistically?

Who was your first TOA muse? If you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? Dimitri! Honestly, right now nope! Not only he'd clash with the fact I'm already playing Lambert, but he's also receiving much well deserved love from another mun right now. I'm happy like this!

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) Anything that's from Fódlan, good people who have gone through hell and haven't even begun their road to recovery, lil weirdos.

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? Smart characters. Because I'm not smart. Also characters who are canonly very verbose and have very flowery language, I don't have the vocabulary to make it seem natural.

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) I have no idea honestly....whatever brings joy at the moment.

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? Lambert in his full kingly glory (softsmile), Sylvain showcasing his true, raw self to someone.

Favorite TOA-related memories? Byleth losing HP while fighting a fish with Arden's Frederick in order to impress fishermen, breaking his hand on a table, and then getting kicked in the nuts. All in the same event.

Present or past tense? I don't really keep track of this at all actually oops- past I suppose?

Normal size text, small text, no preference? I default to normal size.

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 Mila. And every time I open 3Hopes I get Annette flashbangs. But mostly Mila.

NDRV3 Characters with DRDT Talents

Korekiyo Shinguuji, Ultimate Lucky Student

(Having been cursed with bad luck his whole life, as an abandoned orphan, Korekiyo finds fascination in the idea and concept of luck, considering it "beautiful". This causes him to be seen as unnerving by others, in spite of his otherwise affable personality. With his massive collection of lucky charms on his person, Korekiyo is determined to turn his bad luck around, survive the killing game, and find his missing sister.)

Kokichi Ouma, Ultimate Clockmaker

(This enigmatic young lad, in spite of his immature appearance and personality, is a prodigy when it comes to handcrafting only the most intricate of clocks. His appearance and personality also belies a conniving chronic liar, who speaks entirely in clock and time-related metaphors and seems intent on toying with and confusing his fellow classmates.)

Maki Harukawa, Ultimate Plastic Surgeon

(While a master in all matters of surgical procedures, Maki seems to specialize in cosmetic surgeries for a massive number of celebrities. In spite of this, Maki claims to dislike performing surgery and can't stand the self-centered attitudes of the people she performs her surgeries on. Both in and out of the operating room, Maki is cold and aloof, not willing to engage in small talk.)

Kirumi Tojo, Ultimate Personal Stylist

(Famous for her attractive appearance and gothic punk fashion, all the spikes and leather belie a loyal and kind-hearted woman. If one wishes to improve their wardrobe, Kirumi will always be there to help, with her knowledge on all matters fashion. However, while she may normally be passive and obedient, let's just say that this leather hides silk, which also hides steel.)

Rantaro Amami, Ultimate Zither Player

(While infamous for his travels and the wealthy family that he is a part of, Rantaro is even more famous for his innate talent in playing the many instruments of the zither family. Rantaro is known amongst the class for his bountiful wisdom, his coolheadedness, and his attractive appearance. Having 12 younger sisters back home, Rantaro appears to have a brotherly instinct, when it comes to a couple of people in his class.)

Shuichi Saihara, Ultimate Effects Artist

(As the son of a famous actor and screenwriter, it was only natural that Shuichi would be an expert on the ins and outs of the film industry, although his main speciality is in special effects. In spite of his status as a blueblooded prodigy, Shuichi is also extraordinarily humble and timid, possibly due to all the hotshot actors overshadowing him.)

Kaede Akamatsu, Ultimate Jockey

(Having a love for horses since she was young, Kaede won many horse-racing competitions and always has a spot in her heart for all of her horses. Cheerful and energetic even off the track, in spite of her legions of fans, Kaede is also rather socially-inept, spending more time with horses than with actual people.)

Himiko Yumeno, Ultimate Matchmaker

(Referring to herself as the "Ultimate Cupid" and fashioning herself in a similar manner, if Himiko senses the right chemistry between two people, they would be destined to be happy together. Outside of romantic pursuits however, in which case she becomes extremely conniving and ambitious, Himiko is incredibly lazy and would only ever put in the absolute minimum effort, if asked to do something.)

Gonta Gokuhara, Ultimate Horror Fanatic

(Having been raised away from civilization by a bunch of eldritch horrors, Gonta is an expert when it comes to all matters horror. He is very enthusiastic when it comes to the topic of horror, and would love to talk at lengths about them. In spite of his creepy fascination and bad tendency to psychoanalyze, Gonta prides himself on being a kindhearted "gentleman" to everybody.)

Ryoma Hoshi, Ultimate Student

(Truly an academic role model in every sense of the word, Ryoma is renowned throughout his school for topping academic charts and being diligent towards his studies, and always being eager to assist other people. He is even a star member of his school's tennis club. According to some unreliable sources, though, Ryoma is more lazy and pessimistic than what his public appearance would seem.)

Miu Iruma, Ultimate Chemist

(Specializing in the studies of pheromones and aphrodisiacs, Miu is about as perverted and bawdy as one would expect from someone with that line of study. In addition to her sex-laden speech, Miu is also highly proud of her intellect and appearance, and is always ready to put down other people for their perceived lack of intelligence/beauty. Unless they talk back to her...)

Tsumugi Shirogane, Ultimate Pet Therapist

(Garnering fame in her hometown for being able to rehabilitate and reason with even the most disobedient of pets, it is often rumored that Tsumugi has the ability to speak to animals, something that she would neither confirm nor deny. Generally preferring the company of animals to people, Tsumugi always tries her best to blend in to the background and seem as "plain" or "unnoticeable" as possible.)

Kiibo Iidabashi, Ultimate Bowler

(Raised by a former bowling champion, it didn't take long for Kiibo to pick up their father's craft with ease, eventually joining the best bowling league in the country. Having spent a good portion of his life having their favorite sport be belittled and mocked, Kiibo is notably sensitive and overprotective, when it comes to the topic of their talent. Apart from that, they remain kind and cheerful.)

Kaito Momota, Ultimate Art Forger

(Despite referring to himself as the "Modern Day Da Vinci" and being genuinely talented at all artistic pursuits, Kaito's talent is one of the more sketchy and morally ambiguous of his class. Having been exposed for his forgery by the authorities, Kaito seeks to turn over a new leaf and remake himself with a brand-new heroic image and persona, seeking to restore the rapidly-disappearing art of the past.)

Tenko Chabashira, Ultimate Rebel

(Standing up for the rights of women everywhere, Tenko wants nothing more than to dismantle the patriarchy hanging over the heads of innocent women everywhere. Tenko is also well-known for her contributions towards the lesbian/trixic community, garnering a reputation as a lesbian icon. Ignoring her vilurant hatred of men, especially male authority figures, Tenko is cheerful and warmhearted.)

Angie Yonaga, Ultimate Inspirational Speaker

(Traveling all over the country to spread her motivational speeches to as many people as possibly, Angie greets every day with a bright smile and a blessing being made towards Atua, while encouraging others to do the same. In spite of her title being "inspirational speaker", it wouldn't too far off to call her a "preacher" or a "missionary" with how dedicated she towards Atua's word.)

Miyadera Shinguuji, Ultimate ???

(???)

Had this AU in my mind for quite some time now, and I'd love to hear any thoughts on it.
