🪡Chapter Eleven: Third Wheel

You sat next to Megumi in a table closest to a window. He had luckily gotten his phone back from the owner who had let them film and recognized the two boys. Currently in front of you was Yuji who was going on about a story of Megumi’s past of middle school delinquency.

“You actually beat people up Megumi?” you asked, only for him to try to hide his face behind the menu, it was kinda cute. “It wasn’t.. just the ones who deserved it, and it was a long time ago anyways.”

“He’ll barely ever admit it, me and Nobara didn’t know till for a school event with our highschool we went to visit middle schools in the area and when we went to Megumi’s these two guys were so scared of him!”

“Can you not?”

You couldn’t help but laugh at their antics, “What made them deserve you beating them up?” You were interested in this ‘past life’ of his. Although still red in the face, he answered, “They were assholes, they pissed me off.” Yuji laughed at Megumi only for Megumi to respond with a grumble. “Well I haven’t known you that long, but you don’t seem like the type to purposely be a bully, so i’m sure they were assholes.”

“Did you know-” Yuji was cut off by the waitress arriving ready to take your guys order, and Megumi had to thank whatever power was out there that he had no other chance to embarrass him in front of you.

After the waitress had left, you decided to continue on the conversation with something less directed at Megumi. “So I don’t think I ever asked your majors, are you both film?” “I am” Yuji answered “It’s fun in all honesty, even with all the editing and camera stuff we got to figure out.” You gave a small hum in return, turning to look at Megumi as he began to speak “Photography, I’ve always enjoyed it.”

“Well it’s good you guys like it. It makes everything better when you enjoy it.”

“Do you like your major y/n?” Megumi asked.

“Yeah, it’s fun and I really enjoy the process! The hardest thing about being in fashion though is probably deadlines, and you have to be able to take criticism, which absolutely kills some people.” Megumi laughs a little at your last statement, “That’s Yuji.” You turned to look at him across the table, seeing him let out a dramatic gasp, then pout. “That’s you too don’t lie! You complained last semester about Haibara because he told you that you can’t just keep submitting pictures of your dogs for like every other project!”

“Shut up.”

Author’s Note: Megumi expecting cheap prices from a restaurant only for Yuji to order more.

hope you guys enjoyed!

hey whats the deal w diana and calliope

[ID: Scribbly drawing of a person looking up at the viewer with big puppy eyes, smiling. End ID]

KICKING MY LEGS AND GIGGLING OMGGGG OKAY OKAY

You're right, what IS the deal with them? KSKSKSS Okay I'll tell you a bit about them, but like always, under a read more, because I always get embarrassed talking about my OCs here lol

Btw I'm in the middle of writing my response and I have to say omfg I feel so embarrassed pleeeease don't be mean I will cry

I guess I'll just start by showing what they look like, which I made in a Picrew, like always (if anyone wants the link to the Picrew let me know, I use this one all the time lol)

So this is Diana (she's actually supposed to have light blonde hair, not white, I'm a bit lazy to change the photo rn but yeah):

[Image Description: A cartoonish Picrew of a white woman with long white hair and blue eyes sat down in an alley, smiling. She wears a white frilly button-up under a white apron dress, white shoes, and has a rosary tied around her wrist. There's a knife sitting next to her. End Image Description]

And this is Calliope:

[Image Description: A cartoonish Picrew of a white woman with a dark brown mullet and dark brown eyes sat down in an alley, frowning. She wears a black shirt with a dark red skull, black pants, white socks and black converse shoes. There's a kitchen knife sitting next to her. End Image Description]

I'm probably gonna skip a lot of details in this (but if you want more details you can always DM me), but the gist of it is Cal and Diana had been dating for a very short amount of time (think 2-4 months), and one day while in Diana's house, Calliope finds out that Diana eats people, and she gets freaked out, and Diana tries to explain herself because she does it out of love, but Calliope just leaves, and she doesn't do the "call the police" thing (though she does almost do it) but she just spends a couple of days without talking to Diana and just thinking by herself, and she realizes after a while that she's not just thinking "holy shit she's insane" but she's also thinking "I want to see her again, I need to see her again", and it's this mix of thoughts "she's insane what's wrong with her I love her we need to still be together but why she's EATING PEOPLE-"

Anyway a couple days later Calliope goes back to Diana's house, and when Diana opens the door for her Cal's just like "Show me," and Diana's like "Show you what?" And Cal's like "Show me how you do it. Eat" (those aren't the exact words but it's just to give you an idea of what happens)

And so she does that, she lets Calliope in and she takes a part from one of the bodies she has and she cooks it and eats it and Calliope's watching her do all of that, and while a part of her's still like "what the fuck am I doing she's insaneee", what she's finding is more of... it's not as bad as she imagined it would be. Gruesome, sure, but not as much as she feared. And she realizes not just that she doesn't mind, but also that... she kind of gets it. There's something about how Diana does everything that makes her believe her when she says that she does this out of love. So after the wonderful dinner they have a basically sort of Q&A where Calliope lets Diana speak, explain herself, and she listens, and once they're done Calliope says she's gonna think about this for a couple more days, and leaves, and then she does come back some days later and says that she's still very much in love with Diana and that she wants to be with her and support her in all her ways of showing love

So that's basically like the first chapter in their story, as you can tell I skipped out on some details, mainly because there's some stuff about it that I might change, like I said this is all still a huuge WIP, but that's basically the start of their relationship. Btw they're both insane, Calliope later starts killing people, but I don't think I'm gonna tell you about that in detail because all of the scenes I had for that are even bigger WIPs than what I just told you and I'll probably have to re-write all of them anyway, just know their dynamic later turns into "Calliope kills people and Diana eats them"

But at the heart of the story is just... fucked up messed up ways of love, I'd say, both because of Diana's cannibalism being fundamented on it being a way for her to show love in the deepest most profound manner she can think of, and Calliope later becoming fully devoted to doing everything just for Diana (she starts killing people to keep Diana safe, at least in her eyes). That's something that I always want to emphasize on whenever I'm talking about them to my friends or something, they're not "oohh they're delusional so that's why they're together," like yeah they are fucked up, but they truly are both in love with each other in the deepest way you can think of, like the story would not happen the way it does if they weren't in love with each other. This, too, is yuri

Also in case you're wondering if Diana's going to eat Calliope at some point too, I still don't know but for now, taking into account how willing Calliope is to be eaten and how willing Diana is to eat the people she loves, the answer is a "probably." At the very least Calliope is willing to sacrifice a couple fingers to sate her girlfriend's needs (she's willing to sacrifice a lot more but Diana might feel bad about that so she's cool with settling for some fingers. At least for a while)

Aaaaannnnnd yeah, that's about all I can think of, I am pouring my heart out to you and I hope you will take it in gentle hands like a wounded animal, because that's how I feel after typing Calliope and Diana's story for the fourth time in my life. A wounded animal.

Also no I've never watched Hannibal

Love: Something That Is Quite Ineffable (Cats 1998) (Pt. 2)

Thanks to @the-rum-tum-hatter for this first request of this new series that I’m writing for CATS 1998. If you have a request, please leave it in the comments, send an ask, or dm me of your pairing. Be sure, though, to not use any cats that were previously used before. At the time of writing, the ships used were Platoria, Tuggoffelees, Demestrap, and now Coricojerrie. Thanks again for reading. Hope you enjoy.

As you know, Love is a peculiar thing. It’ll make friends with you, make you chase it, or even provide a sense of comfort. But, sometimes, Love makes us question why. LITERALLY! You look at your soulmate and ask shaking your head sometimes, “...Why...? Why did I fall for you?” And then you fall in love with them even more anyway. Yeah. Coricopat found himself in that situation multiple times with his mate, Mungojerrie.

One time in particular that he likes to share was when he was meditating with his sister in their shared den and linking a brainwave. Their breathing was in perfect sync as their chain grew stronger, until a scream and loud crash from outside disturbed their peace. The two glanced up at each other with Tantomile sighing sightly annoyed as her brother gave a nervous chuckle, both of them knowing the cause of their shattered focus. “I’ll check on him,” the psychic male uttered as he went into a meditative state to find his boyfriend in his mind’s eye.

Come to find out, as he predicted, the calico tom was tangled in a rope-like object with Pouncival and Tumblebrutus not sure what to do. Letting out an exasperated sigh, Cori returned from his vision and stood up while announcing, “My mate needs me...again.” “Go on then,” ushered Tantomile, “I’ll put on some tea for when you get back so we may continue our session.” The tom of the twins gave a nod and stepped out to the junkyard.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he envisioned the quickest path to get to his boyfriend in danger. Four minutes later, he found himself at the scene of the matter: a large pile of trash having strewn across the ground, Pouncival and Tumblebrutus sitting worriedly to the side of the mess, and Mungojerrie caught and tangled in a roped hammock that had been cut up and knotted strangely somehow all with a look of embarrassment behind a sheepish smile. “Uh..Hehe. Hey, Cori,” the clumsy calico greeted. “What happened this time?” the paranormal cat asked the two witnesses.

The two kits explained that while practicing their flips, they asked Jerrie to demonstrate a particular trick that would propel them even higher. Well, when he obliged, he went into a back-handspring then went to reach for a protruding bar in a pile of trash that was now toppled over. In doing so, he quickly realized, but still too late, that there wasn’t enough support on the bar to hold him. So, it slipped out and fell, dropping him into a laid out hammock almost like a safety net in a circus and rolling down to the ground while getting more and more wrapped up and tangled.

Coricopat gave another sigh and shook his head as he loomed over his lover before asking, “How do you keep getting yourself into these situations?” “Oi don’t know! It jus’ sor’ of ‘appens, it does,” the cockney cat whined as he scratched at the thick rope to no avail before begging, “Get me out, please?” The psychic tom looked around for a moment before his eyes focused in on a rusted pocket knife that fell free from the debris. It was likely dulled from how old it was and the reason it being in the junkyard in the first place, but it was better than nothing. Taking the handle between his teeth, he walked back over and noticed the nervousness in his mate’s eyes. “Hon’t worry. I’hh hust cu’ de ro’e and ge’ yo’ ou’,” he reassured with the filling mass in his jaw. 

Carefully and precisely, the tom sawed at the proper cords of rope and freed his tomfriend. Climbing out from the mess, Mungojerrie stretched from being curled up and shook out the rubble in his fur. He then turned and moved to nuzzle his mate in thanks before he felt a paw push back on his chest. He let out a questioning whine until Cori explained, “What were you thinking, Jerrie? You could have seriously gotten hurt. You need to be more careful when pulling stunts. I know you’re notorious for being acrobatic with your sister, but the junkyard is not as stable as a neighborhood. A higher risk requires more caution. Do you understand me, Jerrie?” the calico in question looked down with shame like a scolded kitten as he gave a nod of understanding. 

“As for you two,” the Abyssinian acknowledged the two kits who watched the whole exchange, “ Always make sure that you’re practicing your tricks in a safe area where things can stand properly on their own or in a wider, open space. Now, neither of you are hurt are you?” The two shook their heads no, and Cori replied, “Good. Now, I’m not TOO opposed to you seeking advice from Jerrie...” “Oi!” the calico called out in mock offense. The supernatural cat ignored him and continued, “...but make sure it can be done safely where no one is at risk. Do I make myself clear?” The duo nodded fervently and scampered away from the mess.

Giving an approving nod, Coricopat sat down for a moment in silence with his eyes closed. Jerrie stood up and shyly walked over to his mate silently and sat beside him. "You interrupted my linking session with Miley," the stoic tom revealed. Even though he didn't fully understand the concept, the calico gasped in shock knowing how important linking was to the Psychic Twins. "Oh, no, Cori, Oi'm SO sorry! Really, Oi am!" he apologized, "Oi never meant to disturb such an important thing, honest!" "I know, at least just find something peaceful to do until we're done, please," the tom in question asked. The multi-colored male nodded eagerly before giving his mate an apologetic nuzzle on the head and walking away.

As he watched his tomfriend walk off, Coricopat gave another sigh and shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself, "How and why did I fall in love with him?" "That's a question that still baffles me to this day," he heard his sister's voice reply. "M-Miley! I'm on my way. Jerrie was in a bind, and needed some help," the brother tried to explain as he raced back to the den. "I know. Just hurry up. The tea is ready and I want to get back soon as possible," the Abyssinian queen replied somewhat jokingly.

An hour later, the Psychic Twins stepped out of their den and went on their separate ways for the rest of the day. The brother turned a corner and found something quite surprising. A soft, medium sized, galaxy patterned rug arranged with a couple of dead birds and rodents, little flowers, and various gems and crystals. He stalked forward toward the items when Mungojerrie popped up next to him all of a sudden. Geez, that cat walks quieter than a shadow!

"J-Jerrie!" Coricopat acknowledged, having been startled a bit, which was beyond unusual. "Hehe...hello, Cori," the calico tom greeted shyly, his ears pressed down and his tail drooped, and explained, "Oi'm really really sorry again for interrupting your linking today. Oi wanted to make it up to you, so Oi found different things that Oi thought would interest you. Oi hope you're not still mad at me." The Abyssinian looked back at the decently arranged setup and smiled before nuzzling his mate on the neck. "I was never mad at you, Jerrie," he admitted, "I was annoyed that the linking was interrupted, but I was more worried you'd hurt yourself. I enjoy your stunts. I really do, but it scares me to know that the tom I love could be injured just from simply misplacing his paw. I love you, Jerrie, and I don't want anything bad happening to you." 

The notorious thief returned the affection in understanding and replied, “Oi love you too, Cori. An’ Oi do troi to be careful. It just ‘appens sometoimes, it does. Oi’m usually much be’er when Oi’m with Teazer, so maybe that’s wha’ it is. Oi don’t know, bu’ Oi DO know tha’ Oi promise to be more careful for you. To be a hundred percent honest, Oi always question how or why you still put up with someone loike me. Oi though’ Oi’d ‘ave drove you away by now.” “Well,” the intellectual tom said thoughtfully, “you do tend to do things that scare me and leave me wondering why, but then you do things like this,” he gestured to the scene that was put together, “and that always remind me of how sweet, understanding, and considerate you really are. That’s why I stayed. Because you are the only one aside from Miley that understands me. Plus, you’re fun to be around.” Overjoyed by the sentiment, Mungojerrie pounced on his mate and cuddled into him even more, the pair laughing giddily in their ever growing love for one another. “I love you, Jerrie.” “Oi love you, too, Cori.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, this was an example of Love being a confusingly goofy ball of antics. You question how or why you stayed despite the ridiculous happenings involving (or being caused by) your partner, and yet you wind up getting reminded of why. And it somehow makes you fall for that person all over again with a newfound love that is quite ineffable.

Jungkook Scenario| You are a cover artist and get invited to Seoul to collab with him

“Ah hyung y/n is releasing another song! She just announced it on her twitter its coming out later today. I wonder what it will be this time!” Jungkook was practically bouncing in his seat with excitement, much to the displeasure of his makeup artist who keeps having to redo his eyeshadow every time he moves. 

“Ah your girlfriend posted a new song? Is it a cover or a song of her own?”

“It looks like a cov- HEY! She’s not my girlfriend Tae what are you talking about?”

“Jungkook you have such heart eyes for that girl it’s not even funny.”  Jimin chimes in.

“Yeah Jungkookie it’s pretty obvious you have the biggest crush on her. Why haven’t you talked to her yet?”

“What am I supposed to say Tae? ‘Oh hey I’ve been listening to your music for a year now and I have the biggest crush on you date me?’” 

“I mean you don’t have to be so forward but..”

“Shush! Let me just have my crush in peace okay?” He sighs heavily while looking at your post again. He doesn’t know why he suddenly decides to leave a comment underneath your tweet. 

Can’t wait! Is it a cover or an original song? -JK

He’s not expecting an answer back, you get tons of replies on your tweets everyday. So imagine his shock when a notification dings on his phone and he sees that you actually replied back to him. He jumps in the chair again and is scolded by the makeup artist for the 10th time. He blushes in embarrassment.

“Sorry noona.” He offers. He quickly opens up his phone and reads the reply from you.

It’s a cover. A song you should know well :) 

“Jimin?”

“Yeah Jungkook?”

“Am I dreaming right now?” 

“What do you mean?”

“Y/n actually replied to me. Oh my gosh I am fanboying so hard right now.” Jimin gets up from the couch and peers over his shoulder, reading the reply back from you.

“Ah no you aren’t dreaming. I wonder what she meant by a song you should know well..”

“Maybe it’s one of our songs!” 

“Ah you’re probably right. You won’t know until after our concert tonight though.”Jungkook visibly deflates as he sinks down in his chair.

“You’re right. Ugh this sucks.”

“Patience Jungkook. As soon as the show is over you can listen in the car on the way back.”

*****************************

The concert is over and Jungkook quickly runs over to his phone and sees that you posted a link to your cover with a message with it.

Hey everyone! Here is a new cover for you. I hope I did the song justice. I feel kind of intimidated covering Euphoria when Jungkook literally sounds like an angel ;~; but I hope you enjoy it! 

Jungkook nearly drops his phone again when he sees that you did a cover of his song. He immediately clicks on the link and he hears an acoustic guitar starting off playing the melody, the second he hears those opening lines his heart is absolutely melting. He thinks you sound absolutely beautiful and your voice makes him wonder if angels walk among the earth. He replays it at least 5x on the way back to their dorms.

“Jungkook you should invite her to come to to Seoul and do a song with you.”

“I’m sorry what? Are you crazy? Why would I do that?”

“Because clearly she is a fan of you too, and your voices would sound really good together. Look at all the comments on her new song a lot of our fans and her own are wanting a collab between the two of you.” He scrolls through the comments and realizes that Hoseok is right. 

“Should I just DM her or something? How does this work.. I don’t even know what I am doing oh god. Hyung help.” Hoseok laughs before he takes out his phone and messages you from their official account.

Hey, y/n! Your cover of Euphoria was really beautiful. I am pretty sure I have heard it at least 7x now because Jungkook has it on repeat. Anyway he’s way too shy to ask you so I am taking the initiative here to formally ask you to come to Seoul to make a song with him. He’s been a fan of yours for a really long time and he would love the opportunity to sing with you. -Hobi

Hoseok smiles to himself as he sets his phone down,

“Hobi what did you do?” Hoseok says nothing in return, just smirks at the younger. Jungkook opens up their twitter messages and sees what he wrote to you.

“Did you have to expose me like that?!”

****************************

The last thing you were expecting after posting that cover was to be invited to Seoul to collaborate with the man you had idolized since the start of his career. Jungkook was everything you wanted to be and more. He was such a talented vocalist, he could dance, and he had so much love in his heart. Not to mention you had a massive crush on him. You couldn’t help but find his smile endearing, his sense of humor was exactly like yours as well. You screamed into your pillow when you saw the message from Hoseok on your phone. After you allowed yourself some brief moments of fangirling you messaged them back.

I would be honored! I have been a huge fan of you guys for the longest time now. Wow this feels like a dream come true really. When would you want me there?

You wait patiently for a reply, not taking your eyes off your phone until it lights up with a new message.

Hey! It’s Jungkook now. Um honestly if it isn’t too soon we have a break in our schedule in a few days. 

Sounds good to me. I’ll see you soon Jungkook! Can’t wait! 

****************************

You step off the plane a few days later and spot someone holding a sign with your name on it. You walk over to the person who gestures for you to get into the backseat of a rather expensive car. You aren’t expecting to be met with eye crinkles and a bunny smile when you open the door and it catches you off guard.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean to surprise you. I just wanted to get started as soon as possible. I was too anxious to wait.” You can’t help but find him endearing, knowing that he was just as excited to get started as you were made your heart flutter. You told yourself to calm down, that it’s just strictly professional and you needed to get your little crush under control. You sit next to him and offer your hand out and he takes it gladly. 

“I guess we should introduce ourselves first though? I’m y/n as you already know. It’s nice to meet you Jungkook. I would love to get started on our song right away.” He’s still holding onto your hand and when you glance at your hands he quickly pulls away, a blush forming on his cheeks.

“It’s nice to meet you too y/n. We can drop you off at your hotel so you can unpack and then start working on some lyrics?”

“Sounds good to me.” You two spend the rest of the day, sheets of paper and your guitar sat out on the bed as you both come up with ideas for a melody and lyrics to the song. You glance up at the clock and notice that it’s getting quite late. You stretch and it doesn’t slip past Jungkook’s notice when your shirt rides up slightly exposing your stomach. He quickly looks away, willing his heart to calm down. Meeting you has done nothing but strengthen his crush on you and now he was starting to develop real feelings. You were so kind and nice to him, you made him laugh quite a few times as he did for you. He instantly fell in love with the sound of your laughter and realized he would do anything to keep that smile on your face and that scared him. You probably were seeing this as just a friendly collaboration between artists and nothing more. He doesn’t realize he’s zoned out lost in his thoughts until you are waving your hand in front of his face.

“Jungkook? It’s getting late you should probably head back now.” He glances at the clock and realizes it’s 10 at night.”

“Oh.. shoot you’re right I should get going. Umm.. what time did you want to meet up tomorrow?”

“How about you take me out for breakfast?” He stutters at your words unsure how to take them.

“Y-you want to go out with me tomorrow morning?”

“I mean I’ve never been to Seoul before. I want to explore the city but I have no idea where anything is or where all the cool places are. I would love it if you were my tour guide? We worked for hours today it wouldn’t hurt to take some time off and just have fun now would it?” He stares at you blinking rapidly.

“Unless you don’t want to..” 

“No! I mean, I want to. I’d love to take you out.” You smile at that and you both work out the details before he leaves. He rushes home and throws the door open, to find all of the members sitting in the living room waiting for him.

“Ah Jungkook! How did it go?” Jimin jumps off the couch and is immediately walking towards him, eager to hear the details.

“She’s.. amazing. God I think I actually have feelings for her what am I supposed to do. She’s so sweet and funny. And she wants me to take her out tomorrow.” 

“Aww Jungkook looks like a love struck teenager look at the blush on his cheeks!” Taehyung teases him and he can’t even be bothered to feel irritated because he’s just so happy that he’s going out with you tomorrow. 

“I mean you never know what will happen unless you try right? If things go well tomorrow just be honest and tell her how you feel. She’d be an idiot not to like you too.” Namjoon offers. Jungkook thanks him for the advice and then lays down, he tosses and turns for a while, feeling nervous about tomorrow but also excited. It isn’t until he turns on your cover of Euphoria that he instantly drifts off to sleep. 

****************************

The next morning you spend way too long fussing over how you look. You want to make a good impression on Jungkook. You quickly found after spending so much time with him yesterday that your little celebrity crush was developing into something more. He was way cuter in person and his smile sent your heart dropping into your stomach and butterflies fluttering against your rib cage. It worried you. You were uncertain how he felt about you and were afraid if you confessed to him he would just laugh at you. You were mentally scolding yourself for suggesting you two go out this morning, thinking that he probably just saw this as a professional relationship only. You were still scolding yourself when you heard knocking on your hotel room door. You open the door and the sight of him nearly takes your breath away. Even when he’s dressed so casually and has a mask covering half his face he still is breath taking. 

“Um.. y/n you.. you look really pretty.” You blush and smile at him.

“Thanks Jungkook. You look pretty handsome yourself you know?” You can see the tips of his ears turning red as you close the door behind you and you both head out into downtown. You eat breakfast together, chatting happily and getting to know each other better. He takes you out sight seeing, and although he would never admit it out loud he spent more time looking at you and your reactions than the sights he was taking you to see. It’s the end of the night and he’s standing outside your hotel room, neither of you wanting to say goodbye yet. 

“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then?”

“Yeah, we can keep working on our song tomorrow. It’s coming along really nicely and I think after today I have some new inspiration for lyrics and a melody. I had a really great time Jungkook. Thank you.” You reach out and squeeze his hand before opening your door.

“Goodnight.” The second the door shuts he is snapped out of his daze. Before he can stop himself he knocks on you door. You open it and look at him, confusion on your face.

“Is everything okay Jungkook?”

“I just wanted to ask you something. Just so we’re both on the same page. Was today a date, or just me being a good host and showing you around Seoul? ” You furrow your brows as you think how to answer him, not wanting to give away your feelings.

“Did you want it to be a date?” He rubs the back of his head sheepishly, unable to meet your eyes. 

“I mean.. Um.. Gosh this is going to make things so awkward if you don’t feel the same way.” He’s mumbling and you are barely able to make out what he says. You can tell he’s nervous so you decide to swallow your fears and just be honest with him.

“I mean I was kind of hoping you saw it that way.” His eyes snap up and his gaze meet your own. “I kind of have had a crush on you for a while.. but after meeting you I think it’s developed into something more.” He doesn’t say anything, he’s too shocked to. He never would have expected you felt the same way that he did. 

“Can you say something please? I’m worried that this was just one sided and I just made an idiot of myself.” He doesn’t know where this sudden burst of confidence comes from. But he reaches out and places his finger underneath your chin to turn your gaze up to look at him. He doesn’t hesitate before he leans in and presses a chaste kiss to your lips.

“I like you too. I have for a while now too. I thought it was just some innocent celebrity crush, but after getting to know you I would really be an idiot for letting a chance with you go.” You smile as your mind is finally set at ease.

“Well I guess we better make the most of my time here in Seoul while we can then huh?”

“Let’s finish the song tomorrow, then we can just spend the rest of the time going out together.” You nod and kiss him again, this time letting your lips linger for a little bit longer.

“That sounds perfect.”

What's your favourite sport? Do you prefer to watch it or play it?: I love pro wrestling, if you count that as a sport. I definitely prefer to just stay in front of a TV – I have never been in a ring, nor am I physically fit to even give it a shot without getting harshly injured. Conversely, I love table tennis but I’d rather play it than watch a game.

Who was the last person to send you a friend request on Facebook?: It was a stranger who, upon checking, seems to be some sort of spam account promoting a pyramid scheme. Happy to nope the fuck out of there.

Have you ever been to that person's house?: Definitely not. I don’t add people I didn’t know on any level, anyway.

How recently did you wash your hands?: This morning when I cleaned up after Cooper.

How many girls do you know named Emma?: Not a common name here, so I don’t know any Emmas.

[trigger warning under this I guess. Lots of angst going on at the moment.]

Are you upset, for any reason at all?: Yeah. I’ve been feeling very upset and under stress lately...to give you an idea, I find it a personal achievement to have gotten up and taken this survey. I’m at least self-aware that this is a temporary slump, but while it’s here hanging around, it really sucks to be in it.

How did you feel when you woke up today?: Shitty. The only reason I got up at all was to feed my dogs but otherwise I’ve been glued to either the couch or my bed.

When you're stressed, what helps you to relax or calm down?: Lately, it’s episodes of Good Mythical Morning. Rhett, Link, and their crew will never have any idea just how much they’ve helped this 22 year old, now-wondering-what-her-purpose-is-in-life fresh college graduate keep sane, but I’m glad they have hours upon hours of content and podcasts lying around to keep me company while no one else can.

What were you doing before you started this survey?: I finished another survey that I abandoned yesterday, and was watching GMM to fill up the silence in my room.

Is there something else you should be doing, that's more important?: I’ve been job-hunting 24/7 but lately I’ve been giving myself a break on weekends since no one will be processing applications or booking interviews on a Saturday anyway.

When was the last time you neglected to do something that you'd planned?: Around noon today.

Is there someone that can always make you smile no matter how bad you feel?: Apparently not. I’ve been a wreck all month so far and nothing has worked. Before September, I certainly thought animals or certain humans worked as cures for me.

Do you have any friends that you feel don't fully appreciate you?: I don’t feel that way about them. I think my friends care for me a whole lot, which I appreciate. I’ve had friends come to my DMs quite a few times in the last few days with messages of support since I’ve been a little vocal about how sad I’ve been feeling these days, so I for sure don’t feel invisible. Making me feel present is the best gift anyone could give me.

When was the last time someone told you that you were beautiful?: Last week when Gab came over.

Who was the last person that apologised to you?: Myself.

What were they apologising for?: Haven’t been looking out for myself recently.

Do you think they meant it?: I guess not, because I still haven’t stopped being destructive towards myself.

Would you be embarrassed if your parents looked at your Facebook?: I have them as my friends so they see everything. But I’m 22, so while they can complain about some of my posts (and it’s usually the political ones lol), they can’t tell me to take anything down anymore the same way they were able to do so when I was younger.

Describe the personality of the person you have feelings for.: She’s very warm, understanding, generous, and immeasurably protective of the people she loves.

What does your pencil case look like? What's in it?: I have a plush dog pencilcase that I use for my pens and pencils (given by my sister) and a pink pencilcase with a floral design that holds my highlighters (given by Jane).

In your Facebook friends list, who is the first person listed under 'D'?: Some girl named Abby whose surname begins with D. She was someone from my high school and we mutually know each other, but we’re not friends and we’ve never even talked.

How did you meet him/her?: I’ve never talked to her but I’ve known of her since grade school I guess? since she’s my sister’s batchmate.

Did the last person you kissed have facial hair?: No.

You're locked in a room with your ex. Any problems?: It would just be my girlfriend too so there wouldn’t be any problems, except that I’d probably break down crying upon seeing her again because I’ve barely pulled myself together over the last week and have had to go through it alone.

Be honest. What are you most afraid of?: These days I’m definitely doubting my capabilities and achievements and all the shit I’ve put on my resumé and portfolio, and now I’m scared if any company will even give me a chance. I’m honestly holding a little bit of resentment for every employed person right now because I have seen absolutely no one talk about how brutal this whole process/waiting game is, lol. This is so SHITTY, is it just difficult for me or what???? I’m so baffled.

In the last 24 hours, have you seen or spoken to anyone you dislike?: I’ve dealt with myself, but that’s it.

What colour are the eyes of the last person that told you they loved you?: Dark brown. 

What is a word or phrase that you say often?: I like saying “I guess” because it makes me sound unsure about most things and thus makes me not 100% accountable if things go wrong hah. I do have another answer that’s more in line with the angst and depression I’ve been going through recently, and it’s that I’ve repeating BoJack Horseman’s ‘piece of shit’ monologue to himself, but this time saying it to myself.

Name 3 songs that remind you of someone special.: Sparks by Coldplay; anything by Mitski; and anything by St. Vincent.

How much chocolate do you have in your house atm, if any?: We have...a lot. We still have the chocolate cake from Nina’s birthday and we recently received an entire pack of various fun-size chocolate bars like Twix, Three Musketeers, etc. from my aunt. We also have chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream that I normally would finish up in a day, but I’ve been saving it for every future job rejection I receive. 

Who is the most intelligent person you know?: Chesca.

Do you have younger siblings? If you do, are you protective of them?: Yes. I’m protective of my sister but I don’t show it lol. We are not showy in this family.

Who was the last person you insulted?: Idk probably a politician on social media.

What are the other members of your household doing at this moment?: I have not gone out of my room all day...I did not miss this sensation. It’s been a while since I’ve locked myself up for this long.

Do you have any neighbours that you don't get along with?: There’s a house behind ours that loudly plays 80s and 90s power ballads and love songs and it gets insanely irritating and makes the neighborhood feel cheap, but I keep my feelings to myself and I’ve never actually confronted them about it and asked them to stop or decrease their speaker’s volume.

How recently did you speak to the last person you kissed?: Like 30 minutes ago. I’m not very talkative these days and it was actually just the second time today that I initiated a bried conversation. I feel bad for her, and I can’t wait to get better so I can start treating her right again.

Who was the last person you told to get lost, or something similar?: I don’t usually tell this to people.

Give me a random line from the last song you listened to.: “We know better so we’d both better go.”

Have you ever had an argument with the last person you Facebook messaged?: Lots. She’s my girlfriend lol.

Do you have any plans for tonight?: I don’t know. If I feel any better, I’d practice and review for my upcoming interview this Tuesday, but if I’m not okay by then...I don’t know. I’ve stopped planning my days out recently and just go where my legs take me.

Where were you at 9 o'clock last night?: I was at the dining table trying to take a survey, but I quickly lost interest in it.

In the past week, have you slept past midday?: Kind of. Like I mentioned, Gabie’s on the night shift so I’ve been keeping her company, which means I occasionally take naps in the afternoon.

Is there anything happening tomorrow, that you're looking forward to?: No. I’m so scared of tomorrows now.

Is there anyone you used to be friends with, that you now dislike?: I dislike Athenna only because of her attitude and the way she treated Angela during the last few days of their friendship. I don’t have any personal beef with her, at least I don’t think I have. She likes stirring up shit though and I won’t be surprised if she was able to make up a story about me to get our other friends to dislike me.

What is your least favourite chocolate bar?: Eh, I’m pretty picky about chocolate bars so I have more brands that I dislike than the ones I do enjoy. I only like Reese’s, Butterfinger, Twix, and Whittaker’s. 

Do any of your friends or relatives have the same birthday as you?: Just this girl I went to grade school with named Mitch. Otherwise, April 21 babies are a rare breed apparently.

Name the last song that made you cry.: O by Coldplay.

Who do you miss at this moment?: The me from like two weeks ago lol. How far I’ve fallen.

Where is that person?: Stuck in August, I guess.

Have you ever dyed your hair an unnatural colour?: No.

Have you had any deep conversations today?: No.

Is your television on atm?: It’s not, but I have my phone playing GMM videos on YouTube to keep me company.

If it is, what are you watching?: It’s one of their product test videos.

Are you wearing anything blue?: My shirt is blue, actually.

Who were the last 5 people to make you smile?: Rhett and Link, and that’s pretty much it.

Do you use Twitter?: Sure.

Tell me about the last YouTube video you watched. They’re pitting brand name cleaning products and natural cleaning products against each other and seeing which one is more effective. I love these videos of theirs, hahaha.

Is there anything else you'd like to say?: No, I feel like I’ve grilled myself enough in this survey.

On a Roll

SUMMARY: Jackie drags Henrik out to a roller rink for their next date. Henrik finds he doesn’t hate it as much as he previously thought.

TAGS: @taikeero-lecoredier, @chocoships (DM/ask if you’d like to be added or removed!)

                                                        *****

“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” Henrik asked, glancing over at the other man in the passenger seat.

“Nope!” Jackie said cheerily. “It’s a surprise!”

He sighed as he was given the command to turn left.

The other fiddled with the radio dial, switching channels every few seconds when the music didn’t fit his tastes. Finally he gave up on trying to find a good station and instead let whatever was being sung play out.

Henrik drummed his fingers along to the beat of some poppy, upbeat song that the radio played. He couldn’t help but laugh at Jackie when he saw him wriggling in his seat to the music.

“You remind me of the wiggly worms,” he said, earning a laugh from Jackie.

“Wiggle wiggle wiggle!” He sang, wiggling in his seat happily. It’s quite cute. How could someone be so energetic after fighting crime all night?

Jackie soon got distracted from the music. “Oh! Lookit that car! It’s pink!”

The doctor blinked owlishly in surprise, turning his head to glance at it. “Why would someone color their car like that? Is so bright.”

Jackie shrugged. “It’s different.”

He hummed. Different didn’t always equal bad. It’s just… jarring. He stayed silent as he pondered the thought.

                                                       *****

The rest of the car ride to the unknown location was full of Jackie singing to cheesy pop songs and brief conversations. Reaching the location however...

Henrik knit his eyebrows together. “A roller... rink? Jackie, I cannot skate.”

“Then I’ll teach you! C’mon!” The hero said, shoving open the car door and hopping out before slamming it shut.

He’s cautious about the whole idea of skating, but then again the coffee shop had been his idea of a date last time. Well, date is a strong word for whatever the hell that had been.

He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He’d never do this for anyone else—maybe Chase or his children. He just didn't want to disappoint Jackie. He’s so excited about this date that Henrik thinks it might actually tear his heart in two to refuse him. He normally put his foot down with other partners’ ideas of dates. What is wrong with him?

                                                       *****

After entering and getting admitted to enter the rink by a woman at the front desk (who knew Jackie somehow), they went to get their skates. If he hadn’t been wary already, the nightmare of trying to figure out his skate size was enough to heighten it. He had to try three pairs!

Henrik sat down at the small booth Jackie had commandeered and pulled a foot up to slip them into a skate. He laced up his roller skates tight with shaking fingers and double knotted them.

“Why are we strapping tiny wheels to our feet? It’s counterproductive!” He complained.

“Because it’s fun! C’mon, give it a try! Pleeeeeeeease?” His date pulled the puppy dog eyes. Oh dear, anything but the puppy eyes.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. “Fine, fine, fine!”

The excited smile lit up Jackie’s whole face. Nobody had a right to be that adorable.

He set his feet down on the checkerboard tiles, watching the wheels immediately try to slip out from under him. He gripped the table and dragged himself up, steadying himself when he slid.

Skates are deceptively heavy. They’re tighter than normal shoes and the bulky wheels make moving difficult.

He attempted to lift a foot. Henrik quickly decided it’s a bad idea and put it back down.

“Uh... how do I…” he muttered under his breath, staring at his shoes. He tried to shift his feet forward. “Oh, oh, Jackie! Help,” he squawked as he pitched forward.

The other caught him. “We’re not even in the rink yet!” He laughed.

He could feel his cheeks heat up. He hid his face in one of his hands.

“Here, I’ll help you to the rink.”

He’d be more embarrassed about needing help but Henrik had already decided he quite liked the way their fingers linked together. Unfortunately the thought made his face hot. 

Ugh, I am like a hormonal teenager.

Skates clattered against the hardwood rink, sending Henrik flailing in a panic, arms pinwheeling. For a heart lurching moment, he thought he was going to fall back until Jackie grabbed his shoulders, righting his posture.

“Careful there—it hurts to fall,” he warned.

Henrik flushed. “How can I be careful with my shoes trying to sabotage me!?”

His outburst only made Jackie laugh. He reached over to swat at the other only to slip and nearly fall, clutching onto the stone wall for dear life. His face felt hotter than before.

Jackie laughed harder.

“C’mon, Hen. I’ll help you out,” Jackie offered, extending his hand.

Henrik grabbed onto his hand and squeezed it fearfully. “Please, don’t let me fall.” The mischief in the hero’s eyes didn’t soothe his worries.

“Here, I’ll go slow. Watch my feet and try—”

Henrik swore—quite loudly—as he fell. At least the shorter man had the decency to wince.

Falling didn’t hurt as much as he originally thought but he still didn’t like it. He’d landed on his knees and the impact zone and all around it throbbed. It’s more surprising and embarrassing than painful.

“You good?”

“I… I think so?”

Jackie hauled him up with ease and steadied him as his legs shook. He gave him a moment to shake off his surprise before slowly continuing around the rink.

“Watch my feet and copy the movements.”

The doctor couldn’t help but notice how one foot went outwards and then the other. That must be how he gained speed. He furrowed his brow and tried to mimic the motion. He ended up in a half split with one leg behind him and on a knee. Henrik let out a pained wheeze.

“Hol-holy shit,” Jackie choked out, shoulders shaking.

“Stop! Shut it!” He snapped, face red. He tried to get up but his foot slid out again. Henrik gripped Jackie’s upper arms in a death grip as he dragged himself up. Jackie made it seem so graceful, but when he attempted it he looked like a drunk moose.

After another four humiliating minutes, they finally made it around the rink once. The second lap went about as poorly as the first. The third lap is when there was change.

“Here—try this one on your own.” Henrik opened his mouth to protest but Jackie cut him off. “I’ll be right behind you—don’t worry.” The hands on his arms disappeared and Jackie stopped. “Go on.”

He held onto the wall and scooted along cautiously. Sneaking a peek back, he saw Jackie snickering. He glared before turning back to his task.

It was slow. Every ten or so seconds, he’d nearly fall, and every few minutes he'd fall and earn a couple new bruises if Jackie couldn't catch him in time. Eventually he'd made his way around the rink a couple of times with Jackie lingering beside him.

“See? You're doing pretty well!”

It’s clear it’s not true but he preened a bit at the praise anyway.

Then the lights turned off.

He jolted and yelped, skates rolling and sending him falling. Jackie's hand was on his wrist and his potentially painful tumble is halted when he's pulled up.

“Woah, that could've been bad.”

Heart in his throat, Henrik can only nod.

The music came to a halt and a voice came over the PA system. “Alrighty everyone, it’s time for couples skating. Get out on the rink and skate to some romantic slow songs.”

The music started up again but this time it’s some cheesy slow song Henrik didn’t recognize.

Jackie made an exaggerated bow and offered his hand. “May I?”

He snorted and took it. “Dummkopf.”

“I don’t know what that means but I’ll take it,” the hero said. Henrik laughed.

The two stayed hand in hand for a while, skating slowly and chatting.

“So… what d’ya think of skating?” Jackie tried.

He paused. “It’s… interesting. I prefer walking but is not so bad after the first thirty minutes. I’d be willing to try it again.”

Jackie grinned. “I toldja it’s fun.” 

He chose to ignore that statement, making Jackie snort.

“The lady at the front desk seems to know you pretty well. Do you skate here often?” He asked after a brief moment of silence.

“Yeah, I used to come here a few times a week before Marv moved in with me. I come here less but I’m still on the team.”

He wrinkled his nose. “Team?”

“Yeah, there’s both a women’s and men’s derby team in town. I’m the pivot on the team.” He seemed proud of the statement.

“Ah,” he said, realizing what team Jackie was talking about. “Pivot is leader, yes?”

“Yeah, basically! I get to call plays and stuff! You only know ‘cause of Chase, right?”

He nodded. “He may miss a lot of practices and games but he really likes playing.”

Jackie nods, opens his mouth to say something but—

The next things happen in quick succession.

Jackie slips, pulling Henrik down with him. The other—not strong enough to keep Jackie from falling—falls on top of Jackie. He practically combusts in embarrassment at their position. Their faces are too close for comfort. One of his legs is between Jackie’s and his arms on either side of his head are the only thing keeping him from kissing him.

Wait, what?

And yet, Jackie takes it all in stride and laughs breathlessly. “Hey.”

“Hi,” he replies, dumbstruck by the other's utter disregard of the situation.

Now that he's so close to Jackie, he can properly see him. His eyes seem to glow in the dark and they’re shockingly—almost inhumanly—blue. (Like the electric kind, his mind supplies unhelpfully.) He has this bright grin on his face and he looks so damn happy, still giggling at their fall. He can't help but let his eyes flick down to his lips and wonder what it'd be like to kiss him.

“Hey, Earth to Henrik. Are we gonna get up or…?”

Henrik snaps back to reality, meeting Jackie's eyes.

“Ah, yes, just let me—”

He really wanted to kiss him before he got back up—a peck on the lips would do. He stifles the urge, and he crawls off Jackie, struggling to get to his feet.

“Are you hungry?” Jackie asked suddenly. “They have the best food here!”

Any trace of awkwardness the scenario caused vanished. 

Henrik smiled. “I could eat.”

He found himself hoping that this kind of thing would happen often. Specifically the part of seeing Jackie laugh and smile without a care in the world.

The lights turn on before he can begin to wonder what that thought meant.

[sithroyal]

     Another long one! Putting them in one post because some of you asked the same stuff.

     Under the cut!

@tornbetweenthestorm​, @patricursed​, @darthdescent​ 🍐 - How many ships have you considered but rejected for your muse?

      Not many actually. There’s one or two I’ve backed off of recently mainly because I’ve either come to recognize that ship for what it is (nothing against the RPer or anything just not my cup of tea) or there’s very few ways I can see it working. 

The only one I think I’ve outright rejected would probably be Ben / Kylo and most Resistance members that aren’t Rey or Poe. In an AU setting, there’s a chance for it but everything comes down to chemistry either way. If the characters don’t mesh, then that’s how it is and I’ll never force anything like that.

@tornbetweenthestorm​, @darthdescent​ 🍋 - Does your muse complain about things to you? If so, what?

      He sure fucking does. He’s probably the most active muse I’ve had in two years or so. Mouthy little cunt, I’m telling you. Fights me like no other, especially if he doesn’t want to be vulnerable in a thread. He’ll stall out on me just to make sure it doesn’t get done. 

Now I know what you’re thinking ‘but Ripley, your muse can’t possibly do that, he’s just a character you write!’ Yeah, he is, but I swear he’s taken a mind of his own. I start a reply, get halfway through, whoops here comes the feels and he’s out of the building like someone pulled the fire alarm. Instantly out of the house. Anything else? Totally fine with. 

It’s the equivalent of dealing with a toddler who doesn’t wanna do what they’re told and stomps their feet if you try to make them do it anyway. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

@patricursed​​ 🍓 - What’s your sweetest rp experience so far?

       I’m not sure I can condense it down to just one experience because there’s been a lot of really amazing people that I’ve met over the years. I’d have to say it’s getting that chance to interact with so many creative people all over this place. Some of you have been the absolute sweetest people I’ve ever met and some have inspired me to want to do better than I am. 

There’s a lot of people who check up on me when I’m doing things that are out of my own habits too. That still astounds me, especially when it’s pointed out that people are noticing it. I’m not used to being noticed but that’s something for another time.

@affcgato​, @patricursed​ 🍇 - Have you even encountered any partners that threw a tantrum at you?

      Definitely. There was a time quite a few years ago where someone legitimately got angry with me over something my character did. It wasn’t on Tumblr, this was on Reddit of all places. Guy wanted to be around for six months but not write and keep my character in ship limbo, got mad when I decided I was done waiting on him (even told him in DMs and had a whole damn discussion about it), and started shipping with someone else. So roleplay isn’t just wild here, it’s basically everywhere.

@miann-mhor​ 1: 🍎 - If you had to chose a new faceclaim for your muse, who would you pick? 2: 🥕 - What do you think about the current theme trends? 3: 🥔 - What’s the dumbest mistake you’ve made in rp?

1

     Hm. Not sure. I can’t say I imagine him as anyone other than Adam Driver. His alternate FC is for a younger version so I’m not sure that counts. Older? For about 40+, I’d probably pick Keanu Reeves.

2

     Some of them are great! The minimalist ones help me to actually see things so that’s nice. There’s been a few once or twice I’ve come across that I’ve had to sit and squint at because I absolutely cannot find where the links are. 

Legit, when I say that I can’t see it? I can’t see it. I picked my theme creator because she knows this about me and hers are the easiest for me to read. There’s been times I’ve had to link themes to other people so they can tell me where things are and sometimes? Sometimes, I just have to give up because I simply cannot fucking see it. 

So please lol, don’t use double small text on me. I beg you. 

3

     Okay so, this was on my first blog ever. I had no idea how to do memes in character. This was like six or so years ago now? Yeah. It was a good while back. Absolutely embarrassing. I had so many people teaching me how to do this shit.  

Anonymous 1: 🍆 - How much sin appears on your dash every day?  2: 🍍 - How many drafts are you stalling with this meme?

1

      Not too much really. If it’s written ‘sin,’ I don’t normally see it since I’m not always on the dash during the day. Evening and night? Can almost always find me somewhere. Now I tend to lurk on Discord more than anything else. Sometimes untagged porn ends up on here too so I try to avoid that.

2

      Oh jesus don’t do this to me. 61. But I have 54 queued and scheduled so it’s not like I’m not doing stuff!

[haltestt]

━♡ guess the 20 YEAR OLD MAY baby just arrived to dallyeog! it makes sense, because PARK JAE-SUNG is just as SUNNY as the month of MAY. wait, why do they remind me of LEE WOO-JIN ( TARGET ) ? beyond that, they seemed SPIRITED and PATIENT upon first glance. i heard someone say they’re sort of HAREBRAINED and WISHY-WASHY though. i hope they get acquainted here in COMPLEX # 2 / APARTMENT # 5 / FLOOR # 3 ; HE seems to have a lot going on with HIS job as STUDENT. ( qiu, 18+, they/he/she, est. )

i have an about pg that ill work on a little more but ill just write out a short little thing here to get the blog going ! ! SUMMARY/TRIVIA ! [⤍ park jae-sung ● 20 yrs old ● uni student  ● 179cm/5′10.5″ ] - likes to be occupied ;; fully the type to be cooking a full course meal at four am just because he was studying and just needed to do anything else. also the type to let anyone in to eat it ! - non-native ;; from the u.s.! it’s actually his first year in korea ever so his korean can be odd-sounding a lot as even though it’s his native language, it’s not actually the one(english) he knows best !! when speaking in english, he has a southern accent - money-saver ;; buys things in sets exclusively to save money!! he’s more of the frugal type tbh when it comes to things other than bills !! if he recognizes you pls expect him to have random things on him that he’ll offer you like a grandpa offering his grandchild twenty dollars - skillfully independent ;; after living majority of his life mainly on his own, jae-sung can do housework fairly well as well as cook !! not super well, but it tastes better than worse most of the time !!! - hug-bug ;; if you give him the go-ahead, he’s incredibly physically affectionate !! it’s to the point sometimes he doesn’t even notice, like placing a hand on someone’s back or placing his hand on top of yours ! though, since he’s in korea now, courtesy of his parents’ advice, he’s been trying to rein it in a little ! but no matter w who, he likes to hold hands or hug or link arms or give a bro kiss or anything similar !! - romance averted ;; it’s not that he’s trying to avoid thinking or anything about it, it’s that it honestly doesn’t have much place in his life at all, so it’s never the first thing to come to mind. unfortunately, he’ll gal-pal everyone, assuming everyone are just friends up until people tell him explicitly otherwise - indecisive ;; there really is no choice he feels 100% on. as soon as anyone suggests anything else, he’s quick to switch over, even if he already had a position. the things he can’t change on are things he’s always been mulling over - reckless ;; jae-sung loves to do whatever to distract himself, and it’s pretty obvious in how he literally leaps from building to building away from home. he has a deep love for freerunning, and he’s good at it too (even has a yt channel where he posts a lot of it!), though it doesn’t look it; he always has some bruises or cuts on him. he also loves to try out any sort of trick w any sport such as skateboarding or iceskating!! falling is just part of the fun to him - responsible ;; yeah, it’s a little weird to follow w this, but he really is !! he’s responsible in the ohhhhh crap i have to start on this essay now if i want to be done in time pls learn from me everyone :pensive: type of way. he more so encourages and helps other people to be able to manage themselves, however, sometimes he should really follow his own advice when it comes to self-care. ! WANTED CONNECTIONS ! [ i’ll have a pg up for this in a bit !! ] - family first ;; you’re family ! it tbh doesn’t matter what branch of the family you are or anything else, you’re family that maybe met jae-sung over a whatsapp or fb messenger videocall when y’all were young once ! or they can be super close, tbh i dont mind whatever !! - lending a hand ;; jae-sung has a habit of taking care of others first before anything else. whether or not your muse is consciously taking advantage of that, to your muse, jae-sung helps out by giving food or doing chores w you or letting you stay over or any other small job !! this can also work the other way around ! - opposites attract ;; yeah <3 maybe your muse is cold or the rebellious type or anything !! - guide ;; jae-sung is new to the city and your chara helps jae-sung go out and learn the areas around !! - buddies ;; i am already running out of ideas </3 but !! this is just someone (or multiple people!!) who jae-sung is constantly over at their place or they’re constantly over at jae-sung’s !! while they don’t have to enjoy every death-defying stunt jae-sung attempts, they still come along ! y’all are just buds who hang out !! - internet friend ;; the two of you have a history that’s mostly written !! we can work out details !! - lost and found ;; he dropped a notebook and when you saw it on the ground, maybe you picked it up, maybe not, you saw a bad drawing. the highlighter is not even in the pencil lines. he’s sort of embarrassed about it at first, but offers to draw a portrait of you anyways just to find anything to move onto - brother figure ;; to jae-sung, you’re a sibling figure. what that entails, if it’s an older sister or anyone, is up to you !! - anything !! ;; we can come up w anything or combine these or whatever !! im open to anything !!

Writing task

Write about someone misusing an anonymous identity online.

 I push open the front door and step inside. “I’m home!” I call. No response. My parents are fighting. Again. I can hear their shouts drifting through the house. I storm upstairs and dump my bag on the floor. I collapse face first onto the bed and let out a frustrated sigh. Between boring lessons and bullies bestowing words of cruelty, it had been a long day. I roll onto my back and let out another sigh. I’m not that weird, am I?

I heard a shout from downstairs. Dinner’s ready. I get up and trudge downstairs. My parents are already at the table.

“So how was school?” Dad asked. I shrugged.

“Ok.” I respond.

“Just Ok?” Mum asked incredulously.

“Yeah. Same boring stuff.” I tell them.

Dad nods and goes back to eating.

“Oh come on. I can see that something’s upset you.” Mother prods. She looked pointedly at Dad.

“What?” He snapped at her.

“Our child is clearly upset and you don’t care!” She barks.

“Wh- no! I’m fine! Seriou-“

“Of course I care!” He grumbles.

“Oh do you?! I’m not sure sometimes!” Mum yells.

“Would you two stop? I told you, I’m fine.” They ignore me. I eat the rest of the bland meal as quickly as I can and rush upstairs to my room.

 The lamplight casts a yellow glow over the room. My face is illuminated by the blue of my computer screen. I open the chat forum my online friend and I made so we could talk to each other.

LaughingDolfinn97: Hey

LaughingDolfinn97: U there??

I look at their username. The green online light is absent. I sigh. My parents are still arguing. I can hear the shouting faintly.

There’s ping and my heart soars.

LarryFace420: What’s up?

It never took her long to respond.

LaughingDolfinn97: Not much. School sucked again. And Mum and Dad were fighting again

LarryFace420: Big surprise there :-/

LaughingDolfinn97: Ha!

LarryFace420: Wanna talk about it?

LaughingDolfinn97: some assholes at school keep calling me weird.

LaughingDolfinn97: Then again, I guess I am a freak really when you think about it.

LarryFace420: Don’t u talk down about yourself like that!

LaughingDolfinn97: U can’t stop me! What u gonna do bout it?

LarryFace420: I’ll find where you live and come to ur house

I laughed.

LaughingDolfinn97: and do what?

There was a pause. I guess she needed to think of a response.

LarryFace420: Hug you

LaughingDolfinn97: Awwww how sweet.

I smile. She always knew what to say to make me happy. Whenever I get sad, I just come on here and talk to her. She’s my closest friend, and I’ve never even met her.

We talk for a while longer. I look at the clock. It’s getting close to 1am.

LaughingDolfinn97: I should go to bed

LarryFace420: U got school tomorrow?

LaughingDolfinn97: yeahh :-/

LarryFace420: RIP ;-;

LarryFace420: …

LarryFace420: Are you free at the weekend?

LaughingDolfinn97: Aren’t I always?

LaughingDolfinn97: Why?

LarryFace420: I just thought that we could meet up or something.

Meet up?

LarryFace420: I mean only if you want

LarryFace420: It’s just that we’ve been talking for so long and you’re like one of my best friends and it would be nice to finally meet you.

LaughingDolfinn97: I mean, I feel the same, but

LarryFace420: But?

I chuckle to myself.

LaughinDolfinn97: how do I know that you’re not some serial killer?

LarryFace420: LOL. I promise I won’t kidnap you or anything.

LarryFace420: Besides, I barely even weigh 7 stone soaking wet.

That’s true.

LaughingDolfinn97: I’ll sleep on it.

LarryFace420: Kay :-)

I go to bed and mull the question over.

 Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep!

“Ugh.” I roll over and slap my alarm clock into silence.

I sit up groggily and rub the sleep from my eyes.

“Are you up yet?” My Mum calls from downstairs.

“Yeah.” I shout back.

Dad is sat at the table reading a newspaper.

“Morning kiddo.” He says, somewhat optimistically.

“Mornin’” I grumble back. I sit down and yawn. Ugh, it’s what I get for staying up so late chatting with LarryFace.

 The day passes slowly, once again. But somehow, I managed to stay awake through the monotony.

 I sit staring at the chat forum. After much debate, I have my answer.

LaughingDolfinn97: Okay. Let’s meet up

LarryFace420: Sweet ;-)

LarryFace420: Where do you want to meet and where?

A good question. I rest my elbow on the table and lean my chin on my palm. Where can we go that’s quiet, but has enough people that if she turns out to be a 6” tall body builder who’s a psychopath, I can yell for help?

I opened a search window and looked for places to meet. Seeing a film is a bad idea. I want to talk to her, which I can’t do in a cinema. Maybe a café? What about a restaurant?

LaughingDolfinn97: I found a nice Chinese restaurant. Wanna see?

I sent a link to the restaurant’s website. We arrange a date and time and I go to bed, buzzing with excitement. Tomorrow is Wednesday. Two days until I get to meet my best friend for the first time. I look at a photo of her that I found online and smiled. Let’s just hope that she is who she says she is.

 She’s here. I can see her from across the restaurant. She’s just as radiant as she is in all her pictures. Pale skin, dark hair falling in waves around her slightly angular face. I buy us a drink each from the bar and walk over to her.

“LarryFace420?” She looks up, her eyes glittering with excitement. She ran over to me and wraps her arms around me. I blush, this being the closest I’ve been with another person.

“Sorry,” she says, embarrassed. “I’ve, um, been looking forward to seeing you, finally.”

“Me too. Oh! I got you a drink. To make up for being late.”

“Aww. You’re just as sweet as you are online!” She says jovially.

We talk for a while. It’s just like their regular chats, granted without any emojis, except now, he had a face to the name.

 The food arrived. I had already drank all of my drink, so I stood to get another one. I’ll get her one too.

I place the glass in front of her. “Aw really? Man, I’ll have to get you a drink to make up for it.”

“Don’t even think about it. Your company more than makes up for it.” I tell her. She giggles and takes a sip. I watch her closely. Two of the waitresses are standing in the corner and looking at us. They must be wanting to close.

“What time is it? Oh! Damn, it’s pretty late! We should get going.” She says.

“Yeah. We’ve been getting dirty looks.” She chugged the rest of her drink and called a waitress over so we could pay the bill.

The air outside is chill and crisp. I look at my companion and notice that he looks unwell.

“Are you alright?”

“I, uh, yeah, I’m- I’m fine,” she feebly answered. She stumbled, I grabbed her by the arm to steady her.

“Woah! Are you sure you’re ok?” I ask.

“I’m sorry, I don’t feel to well. I think I might have to go home.” She tells him.

“Do you want me to walk you home? It’s not a problem?”

“No, no. I’ll be ok on my own. Just help me to the bus station.” She replies.

“Alright. I can understand. As far as you know I could still be a serial killer.” I joke.

“Don’t zhoke about zhat.” She slurred. “Whass happening? I’m not even drunk.” That was true. We are both to young to legally drink, so naturally havn’t touched any.

“Was it something you ate?” I ask, sounding slightly panicked. “I mean, I’ve heard of things growing on mushrooms? What if you got a dodgy mushroom?!”

Her head drooped and she went limp. She let out a groan. A small smile reaches my lips. The ketamine I had slipped into her drink was finally working.

I made the call. A short while later, a black van pulled up beside me. The door opens and two men dressed in all black step out and take her from my hands. They pull her into the back of the van. The door closes with a thud. The driver rolls down the window. “Pleasure doing business with you.” They leave, and I made my way home.

**

The next evening, I sat at my computer. The bank account under my fake name had just received a large transaction. Pleasure working with you indeed, I think to myself.

I open a chat forum, a group chat this time.

LaughingDolfinn97: Hey guy, sorry to be super weird, but does anyone know any cheap therapists?

SokaTano33: Uhhh no sorry.

TophWazEre: Weird place to ask about that sorta thing

SilverSnake: Try asking ur doctor or something IDK.

GhostNabber: Yeah that’s probably the best idea.

LaughingDolfinn97: I can’t get in. I’ll probably end up killing myself before I get an appointment TBH. But it’s not like anyone cares anyway.

SokaTano33: Woah dude chill. I’m sure they can get you in if you talked to them

SilverSnake: Yeah

SilverSnake: maybe you could google cheap therapists near you or something?

GhostNabber: You can talk to me if you want. I’m no therapist but it might help.

LaughingDolfinn97: I don’t wanna bother you.

GhostNabber: It’s ok! I don’t mind!

GhostNabber: DM me and we can chat!

LaughingDolfinn97: Thanks. I appreciate your help.

 A notification flashes blue at the top of the page.

GhostNabber: Hey

LaughingDolfinn97: Hey. Thanks for trying to help me

GhostNabber: No problem.

LaughingDolfinn97: I’m sure we’re going to be best friends in no time.
