IF & DOVE LIVESTREAM CLUES. 🧩
we’ve been missing our bunny laoshi for quite some time now and to have back to back livestreams from him was such a treat! and well, that new haircut! anyway, here are some sus moments from those events. this post is mostly for me who missed it and want to catch up/ archive these sweets.
for the IF livestream. i think the most glaring one is when xz said “活过来了”/ “i’m revived” related to drinking. and how it’s what wyb exactly said in exploring the unknown when he was able to finally get that first sip of coffee in the morning. well, you can say that it’s a common expression someone will use but why is it always them? and how close it was that we caught it? also the way it was natural and effortless. it’s times like this that we see their connection.
they don’t show up in front of the camera and events together but little bits like this, them adapting the other’s habits tell us what is true. i also saw one person say days ago that these two now tend to insert some english words in their sentences and i was like — oh yes. that’s true. i kinda noticed that too! even the dialect sometimes and other examples. so this incidence is just one of those. that happens when you spend a lot of time or talk to someone so often.
his clothes from acne studios, which a fave between them. yeah. they are not the only two people in this world who wear this brand but you all know we love some wardrobe similarity.
and this one he was saying how he sweats easily and that he is afraid of the summer because of it. which is not a new information cause we have seen this happen. and why he always has a fan with him. but i’m cackling how OP was relating it to that one LRLG rumor where WYB said that when XZ says it’s hot, he gets two strands of white hair. meaning that stresses him out. HAHAHAHAHA! He is too sweet. He can’t stand seeing/knowing that XZ is not comfortable.
Now let’s move on to the DOVE chocolates livestream which was so fun 🍫
the first one being ( again ) another example of a similarity. how they both like crispy things, and this is what zz commented when asked. which makes sense cause he likes potato chips among other things. as for wyb, he mentioned this when he was eating that food in ETU.
another way to interpret what wyb said was that he was only appreciating the crispiness of it and not exactly saying he prefers it. he said it himself that he is not picky with food. however i agree that this is more than enough to set off our cpn alarm bells. ugh. they are so obvious sometimes.
there was also a moment where he had to make a sentence based on a word that was given to him and what he came up with was:
we can go camping on the grassland and enjoy a relaxing time together with friend
dude i know we are all sick and tired of the camping cpn but they are not. lol. they love it so much and it gives us more sweet fuel so we have to endure 😂 and not only that — together with a friend? is this the friend from the crew? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
he used a cherry for his cupcake too! he really loves it and only put one. reminds me of that cherry cpn.
there was a challenge too where he had to blow the can to move and also push it somehow. he was so persistent! it may seem simple but that’s one characteristic they have in common. they are competitive in their own way ( okay wyb is more ) and won’t give up on challenges! fans noticed too how xz looks so young with his haircut, and how his whole aura is still so innocent and playful. that’s one thing i love about them actually. they maintain or choose that kind of wonder in the world even if it hasn’t always been kind to them.

Lover
~Jack Hughes~
this was such a fun request to work on!! thanks to @jorjie-nhl for the request/idea!!
p.s, sorry to all the T Swift fans out there, she doesn’t exist in this universe :( (you’ll see why)
TW: absolutely none, fluff
word count: 2001
“Is this thing on? Can you guys hear me?” You asked into the phone, smiling as you saw the viewer amount start to rise, “How is everyone doing?” You waited as more people joined, making small talk with the people messaging in the chat. After a few minutes, you decided that it was time to start, “Alright, you guys may be wondering what I’m doing. As you guys may know, it’s my boyfriend’s and I’s four year anniversary in less than a month.”
It was a hard thing to wrap your head around, four years ago, your best friend Jack Hughes asked you out. You were surprised that the both of you lasted this long, with both of you being slightly too egotistical for your own good.
“So I’ve decided that I want to do something for him. I’m going to write him a song, and what better way to do that than live with everyone else?” You grabbed your guitar that was sitting at your bed, “You guys have to promise not to say anything though, I have him and all of his friends blocked from this account.”
You smiled at the various “Yes’s” that spammed through the chat. Three years ago, with encouragement from Jack, you started your journey into becoming an influencer. You grew big on youtube and had a large amount of followers on your social media. Sometimes it was a bit stressful, but you don’t regret anything.
“I’ve done a few covers, but I have never written a song before, so let’s see how it goes,” you said with a grin.
The next few hours were spent strumming around on your guitar and scribbling down lyrics. However, you ended the stream when you heard your boyfriend come home from practice, “Hey baby, I’m home,” he called out.
You quickly closed your notebook with the words before he walked into your room, looking at the guitar in your hands, “Watcha doing?”
You shrugged and set your guitar down, “Just playing around, how was practice?”
He crawled onto the bed with you and wrapped his arms around you, burying his head in the crook of your neck, “Exhausting.”
You laughed and rubbed his back, which was all sweaty, “Go shower and I’ll order us a pizza.”
He grinned and kissed you on the cheek, “This is why I love you.”
“I’m glad you only use me for food!” You called as Jack walked away snickering. You grabbed your phone and quickly ordered pizza from the your guys’ favorite pizza place. After ordering the pizza, you peeked into the notebook on your lap and smiled.
-
3 weeks later
“Alright guys, let’s run it through again,” you said into your phone, proceeding to play the guitar and sing the song that you wrote. Once finished, you looked up at the camera, “Was that good?”
You grinned as a flood of positive comments filled the chat, “I do have one more surprise in store but you guys will have to find that out on Friday during the Devil’s game,” you winked at the camera then ended the livestream.
However, you kept your phone in your hands because you needed to ask a few favors from people. You flopped onto the bed, opening up your group chat with Quinn and Luke, and began typing.
-
Friday
“Are you seriously not coming to the game?” Jack asked, buttoning up his shirt.
You laid in the bed, “I’m sorry baby, I just don’t feel good at all.”
Jack pouted as he turned around to look at you, “But it’s our anniversary!”
You smiled, “I know, and we’ll celebrate it once I feel better.”
“Maybe I’ll just call Nico and tell him I’m sick,” he said, reaching for his phone.
“No!” you exclaimed, “I mean, I know you love playing against the Canucks so you can see your brother, just go to the game, I’ll still be here when you get back.”
Jack looked at you suspiciously, but walked over and gave you a quick kiss on the forehead, “Ok, just text me if you need anything, I love you”
“I will, I love you too,” I said as he started to walk out of the room, “Go kick Quinn’s ass!”
He grinned, “Oh you know I will.” With that, he left the room and you waited a few more minutes until you heard the front door to your apartment close.
You immediately sprung out of bed and over to your dresser, pulling on leggings, boots, and one of Jack’s jerseys. After quickly putting on makeup, you left the house and rode over to Prudential Arena, walking in with the rest of the hockey fans.
Once inside, you made your way up to the announcement booth, flashing a pass that you were given earlier. An older man greeted you when you walked in, “I just wanted to say, what a nice surprise this is,” he said.
You smiled, “Thank you, so you’ll be able to do it?”
“Of course!” the man smiled, “Anything for love, right?”
You laughed and thanked him again before leaving the booth and finding your seat in the arena just in time for warmups. Immediately spotting number 86, you noticed how he seemed to have a permanent scowl on his face. You couldn’t help but feel a bit bad about seeing how sad he was that you “couldn’t” come, but a surprise is a surprise.
The game started and you couldn’t help but lean forwards in your seat the whole time. The score was 3-3, two of which were scored by Jack. The third period had just ended and they were now going into overtime. Your knee bounced up and down as you watched Nico skate with the puck towards the Canucks goal. However, Quinn checked him against the boards and the puck went flying to Elias Pettersson. Jack skated towards him and was able to wrestle the puck away from him, steering it back into the direction of the Canucks goal.
You watched Jack maneuver his way between the Canuck’s players and had a clear breakthrough to the goal. You were pretty sure you were screaming your lungs off by the time. With a quick slapshot, the puck skimmed right over Spencer Martin’s glove and into the goal. You jumped out of your seat, screaming as the alarm went off and hats started flying into the arena.
Jack was absolutely beaming, he was pulled into a hug by Nico, then the rest of his teammates. As a few fans started to filter out of the arena and the hats were being picked up, Jack started to skate towards the bench, but was cut off by the sound of your voice.
You looked up at the jumbotron, your own face showing up on it. It was a video of your live stream from four weeks ago, “Hey Jack, I wrote a little something for you.”
You couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed as you watched yourself pick up the guitar and start strumming the chords to the song.
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
Your voice sang out as the screen switched to the slideshow that you put together with the help of Quinn and Jack. A video of you and Jack at Christmas kissing under the mistletoe played.
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
A clip of the two of you when you were seventeen and going to prom plays, Jack spinning you around in your dress. The video was probably taken a couple weeks after you became official, and Jack still looks at you the same way he did back then, with complete admiration.
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
A video of you on Jack’s back played next, it was taken when you guys went to Universal Studios and you started to complain that your feet hurt. Jack had taken off your shoes that were digging into your heels and carried you on your back and held them.
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all
A video from last summer at the lake house played, you and Jack had passed out on the couch together and Luke thought that it would be a funny idea to draw on your faces, of course not realizing he did it with permanent marker. It took two days to wash all of the marker off your face.
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
Another video at the lake house played, this time you were sitting in a tanning chair and Jack looked at the camera, putting a finger to his lips. He then ran at you and picked you up off the chair in his arms, proceeding to run and jump in the pool. You remember him feeling guilty after finding out your phone was in your pocket. (He bought you a new one).
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
A clip of you trying to teach Jack how to play guitar was next. He had the cutest look of concentration on his face, his tongue poking out slightly. You remember him being so happy after playing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’.
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover
The next video was during Jack’s twenty-first birthday. He has just blown out the candles and you reached forward and smashed his face into the cake. He retaliated by pulling you close and kissing you, in the process he got cake all over your face.
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
The next video was of you and Jack when you decided you wanted to paint the wall of your bedroom a different color. You stood on the ladder as Jack pretended to shake it, causing you to scream and accidentally fling paint all over his face. The video didn’t show it, but it ended up turning into a full out paint war.
The screen switched back to you from a week ago, playing the guitar on your livestream.
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my
Lover
You smiled at the camera, “I love you Jack Hughes, happy fourth anniversary.”
The jumbotron went dark and you couldn’t bear to look at the rink as applause and awe’s broke out in the crowd. Finally, you looked down and saw Jack with the biggest smile ever scanning the arena for you.
You started running down the steps to the benches, his teammates letting you into the little area. Jack’s eyes lit up as he saw you and skated over. He didn’t bother climbing out of the rink, he immediately just pulled you in for a kiss, wrapping his arms around your waist.
You pulled back and grinned at him, “Happy Anniversary Jack.”
He matched your smile, “Happy Anniversary princess.”
You couldn’t even hear the crowd as he pulled you in for another kiss.

Trishe and Lina, 🛏️👹🐶 from the ask game?
— @sapphic-story
Hi you. I saw your comment on my intro post. I’m very happy you’re interested in Trishe. She appreciates the love lol
How much patience does you OC have? Are they patient? Or are they easily irritable?
Trishe is pretty patient in general. She loves things that take time—learning how to cook that new thing that requires simmering something, growing a plant from a seed, studying world history, tryin that new makeup look, retaining a new language, putting together pinterest boards. With people, she’s aight but only when she’s communicated with. You can’t leave her in the dark. And she’ll let you know very quickly what she needs to feel secure enough to offer patience in return.
Okay, so it depends. But without nuance mmm naaaah Lina’s not the patient type. She’s too chaotic. She likes to move and keep her hands busy. Also, she gets antsy if she sits in something for too long whether that be a chair or a feeling.
What kind of sleep schedule does your OC have?
Trishe gets up at 7 every morning and goes to bed at 10:00, 10:30 the latest every night unless otherwise compromised by a night out, a study sess, etc. She has no choice. Her body just gives out. So if she’s not wiping off her makeup and cleaning her face by 7:00, she in trouble. She typically doesn’t do naps because it’s hard for her to knock out and even harder for her to get up when it’s time. So she needs those 8 hours.
Lina loves the night, yes because she’s the drummer of a band, but also because it’s the best time to watch them cute youtube videos of sea otters bathing or that 3-hour livestream of that one dude coding a drum machine using python. The bags under her eyes add to her masc looks. It’s like they’re cradling her eyes when she smiles. She’s kinda cute (so cute so gorgeous i love her so much–).
What would your OC do if they were chased by a dog?
L M F A O
I can hear Trishe’s voice in my head. “First of all, do I look like the flavor of human that would put herself in that sort of situation?”
Nah. She might as well just lay down and die right there. She’d run. Probably think to mace the dog, but would be too terrified.
Upon seeing the doggo, Lina would think to befriend it first because she loves the pups, but it’d click that this could be the last dog she’ll ever pet by the way it’s snarling. First thing out her mouth is to run. Yes, she’s talking to herself but everybody around should take heed. Her mother hates dogs and has spent most of Lina’s childhood warning her about them. So she’d haul ass to jump the nearest fence. You know how people jump but forget to land on their feet? That’s Li. She’d end up angled sideways and would fall with an “oof.”

Okay, yes, but,
(original reddit comment)
Since I’m Thai and has access to local information. I’ll share some of it. Zookeeper doesn’t handle her constantly. **He only fed the mother, gave them a bath and play with Moo Deng from 8:00-9:00AM.** He stays with the mother while she’s eating to make sure that the free roaming monkeys in the zoo can’t steal her food. Then he comes back in again at 14:00 to drop some grass for second feeding time. **You only get to see pictures and videos of him handling her in this specific hour because that’s the only time he can take them.** No one outside the zoo is allowed in the enclosure.
You can watch 24/7 livestream if you don’t believe me. Moodeng spends most of the time sleeping next to her mother, mostly in the water. You will almost always tune in to the livestream into her sleeping in the water as a vague distant blob. (Fun fact: she’s very active around midnight local time. That’s the good time to check on her.)
Also, this isn’t the keeper’s first hippo, he took care of many before (8 years, 10 hippos IIRC from an interview), including the mother, which is why the mother isn’t aggressive toward him. I’ll believe his expertise over random tumbler user any day. If you check the livestream you can see a glimpse of another hippo in the next enclosure on the top. That’s Moodeng’s 5 years old brother Mootoon (Braised Pork) that he also took care of and he grew into a healthy chonky boy. (Some of the pictures of Moodeng you see online is actually Mootoon.) *CORRECTION: That’s Tony the father, Mootoon is in the next enclosure not visible to the camera.*
Yes, zoos can be problematic, but in the case of pygmy hippos, they’re critically endangered with **only around 2,500 left in the wild with diminishing habitat.** In Thailand alone, at least 10 pygmy hippos have been bred in recent years. While it’s not as ideal as them thriving in the wild, it’s certainly better than letting them go extinct without taking action.
Lastly, I’d like to point out how the media tends to exaggerate things. The reports of people throwing objects at her? It’s only confirmed to have happened 2-3 times: once with water, once with a seashell, and maybe with an empty bottle. CCTV installed last month prevents any more. Yet, the news makes it sound like she’s constantly being harassed.
Why do I care? Because I’ve been following this baby girl since birth and I’m one of the people who voted for her name before she’s famous. I hate misinformation. If you have any question, go ahead, I’ll answer what I can.
**TLDR: She’s man-handled only 1-2 hours a day by an expert who has been taking care of hippos for 8 years.**
Not to be a killjoy (though it is what I do best) but the unsafe and rough handling of a baby Pygmy hippo in a pretty substandard Thai zoo being meme-ed into something funny and cute really shows just how much groupthink plays into public perception of animal welfare.
Moo Deng shows avoidance, threat displays and stress around her keepers that are constantly man-handling her, blasting her with a hose and harassing her. The enclosure is mostly concrete, which is horrible for her soft feet. There looks to be some substrate but there doesn’t seem to be any areas for wallowing or deep water wading.
There’s also very easy access of this hippo to the public with no places to hide. I’d love if someone could shed more light on the enclosures but from what I’ve seen it’s not great.
Also the free contact and forcing into tubs that the keepers do is only going to create an avoidant and potentially aggressive and dangerous Pygmy hippo.
But the public happily overlook that because she’s cute. It’s a similar attitude with seals too.
Stop rewarding bad husbandry with clout. Baby animals deserve agency and respect and to grow up without getting harassed and feeling the need to defend themselves constantly.

hi! so i saw your post regarding vince and i just wanted to throw in my two cents:
as much as i love him and he is one of my favorite players, i don’t excuse what he did and i held him accountable for it when it was first revealed.
now i’m not black or a poc, so it’s not my place to speak about or over what is deemed racist or not. people have the right to feel however they wanna feel about certain individuals. but i believe that there is a difference between calling someone “racist” or “ignorant”. vince in this case was ignorant.
another thing i have a problem with are with people who try to fuel their agenda with false claims. i’ve seen people say that vince allegedly got people watching his streams to go after the person who called him out after that, but nobody ever clipped that part of the livestream and posted it. someone also said that vince allegedly made racist jokes in that same live, which again was not clipped or shared. only the part where he was singing the song was clipped and shared, why not those other alleged incidents?? and people also tried to mistake him with completely different player of the same name who got suspended in the junior leagues for using a racial slur towards an opponent.
like i said, i’m NOT justifying/defending what he did. but what i’m saying is that i also wanna bring up people who wanna treat this instance like it’s a trend and only use it to gain brownie points, when in reality, it does more harm than good.
Hi anon,
Thank you for the constructive criticism and for expressing how you feel. However, I have a few thoughts on what you said.
First of all, I mentioned in my post that I didn’t see the actual video of the stream at the time it was more widely available so I don’t have that direct evidence besides what I saw that other people have said (I also used the term “allegedly” in my post too because I don’t have direct access to that evidence if it exists) and like I mentioned in the post, I found out about it a year after it happened. As I mentioned in my post, I did not say or claim or imply that Vince is/was a racist for using the word (I only used that term because it involves the use of a racial slur and I know someone would probably accuse me of accusing him of being one if I never mentioned it originally) and yes, he should be held accountable for his ignorant behavior. (This is also a different type of ignorance though because Vince is old enough to know that singing racial slurs, even if it’s in songs you like by artists you love, isn’t cool at all. It would completely different if he somehow had no idea the true harm behind that word). Being held accountable does not mean that people should dismiss what he did and act like he didn’t do anything wrong because he won’t face actual punishment for it.
Another thing you mentioned in your comment to me is that you “held him accountable for it when it was first revealed” but I wonder if you still hold him accountable now or if you don’t hold him as accountable anymore because as you stated, you love him and he’s one of your favorite players.(tense does matter)
Second, I’m not treating calling Vince out like a trend because he’s been popular on hockeyblr for years (I used to really, really like him a lot for a few months and obviously was devastated when I found out) but as I mentioned in my post, the only reason I brought it up is because I’ve seen an uptick in posts about Vince and wanted to bring it up so that other people would know or to remind those who forgot. If you were on here in 2021 and were invested into hockeyblr like that, you would know that after this incident was exposed, people slowly stopped talking about him for some time but once Seattle started getting good in 2022 and beyond, Vince became popular again (of course, this uptick also goes in hand with him being talked about on TikTok and Twitter/X too) and I never really heard anyone mention this incident again anywhere. This whole incident got swept under the rug; all I ever saw were posts about how hot he is, more fics and imagines about him, how he’s playing well with Seattle and some contract stuff.
It’s also funny to me that you said that people are treating it like a trend as if calling out people for any sort of problematic behavior is a brand new thing online but guess what? there are no brownie points or kudos gained for doing such a thing. If there is, let me know where I can get that because I’ve never gotten any. Calling someone out actually helps in a sense by preventing people from being fully ignorant of someone else’s wrongful behavior (how were we supposed to know any of this happened if no one ever said anything about it? Imagine how foolish it makes fans, especially those who are from marginalized or non-traditional groups, look when their fav did something that may have hurt the group those marginalized or non-traditional fans or their peers belong to). The concept of “more harm than good” goes both ways too. It does more harm than good to support problematic behavior because there’s nothing gained from supporting that type of behavior and all it does is show that people tolerate/support harmful things to benefit themselves and their emotions (don’t try to tell me that a person you like doesn’t have some sort of impact on your feelings) and it shows the people that were affected by those harmful things don’t really matter.
Finally, I’m not fueling some agenda by because if I was, I wouldn’t have shared my opinion and said way worse things about Vince and the people who like him. Again, my post is about education, accountability and my opinion of what happened. Like I had mentioned in my post, you’re entitled to your opinion and point of view on this and I respect it, even if I don’t like it.

half happy and half overwhelmed?? lmao I thought the emoji was because you would be melting with happiness 😭 well, that's still progress, it's always about the result and not how long it took you or what you did to get there, the order of the factors doesn't change the results. you still have the right to be annoyed about it tho. and because of nine sentences you didn't write 19 sentences- thank you, it demand a lot from my only braincell.
Jshsjkak I just confirmed what you said 👀 I mean, I don't really mind, but I'd still like to see you complete the sentences. okay, you won and it was a very smart move, I'm still shocked that you just turned it against me 😔
wait, I'm still swallowing this fact, it's really crazy that your life basically revolves around this number and that's so cool at the same time. don't hold back from saying that something else involving 19 happened, it would be cool to know.
do you have a favorite character that you like to play? I have a love-hate relationship with TikTok and yes, I agree, and most of the time it's without any supervision. talking about things like that about 10/11 kids makes me realize that I'm getting old 🫠
that was indeed a funny joke, so I guess you're right. hmmm you may be right once again, because this person is cool and in fact seems to have a great sense of judgment, maybe I'll let that person know that.
these are the best! It's so good sometimes to just turn off your brain and watch something without thinking too much. so on top of that you are also an analyst? interesting. OKAY- you got me on that one jhdjwwkja. but hey, gayer is better. THAT'S SUPPOSED TO RELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE??? LMFAOO. i know i know i know 😌
– 🌟
i mean, yeah sometimes that's accurate. i usually melt when i reread them later and i’m like,”wow, this actually wasn't that bad.” stop, i’m stealing this and putting it on my wall. lmao, should i try to make all my headcanon sets 19 sentences afkdkksafkd. your one brain cell works very hard.
askdkkssk yeah? and what did that confirmation get you? 👀 imagine what would happen if i did complete them, i’m already getting people calling me out in my inbox. we’d have complete chaos. glad to hear i still manage to surprise you ☺️
i don't think it's that cool i think i just have issues lmao. but i appreciate it. honestly, the list is kind of stupid but i will say there was a livestream on october 19th last year and tegan quinn herself replied to my comment out loud. so, i have a video of tegan saying my [real] name.
is it too predictable if i say the flash? 😶 green arrow too. and sometimes superman. same, i technically have a TikTok account but i barely ever go on it. i feel so old sometimes, especially when i go on rants like these lmao. like i’m not that old but some of my opinions make me sound like a grandma.
“i guess” i’ll that as a win lmao. i think i’m incredibly right so you shouldn't be shy and let the person know 😄
i agree, although sometimes i still think about subtext and stuff because that's the way my brain is wired. [Ocean’s 8 is a great example of this] i mean, i’d call myself more of an overthinker than an analyst but sure. aksjdjsj i agree, gayer is always better. YES!!!??? IS IT NOT ENOUGH??? i- was that- did you just- 🥹

I've notice before that, even though Dream loves to tease George, he can't help but be honest or praise him right after. it's like he's scared George might think he's serious and that he's gonna take it personally. this last clip shows it perfectly, cuz not even 10 secs ago he's was like "haha George is cheating what a loser", but then as soon as George starts complaining/getting annoyed, he reassures that George is worthy and important immediately.
he also always says things like "i just wanted to talk to you", "you're worthy and I appreciate you", "you're more than you think you are" (not all direct quotes, but you get what I mean). I'm convinced Dream just knows George is or too humble sometimes or thinks too low of himself.
if you pay attention enough, you'll see George never compliments himself. he will always say "I'm alright... i guess", "I'm not that good at this", "I'm trash at this kind of stuff" even though he's really good at what he does. he just goes too harsh on himself and pay too much attention at this mistakes, getting annoyed and frustrated pretty easily when it comes to himself.
in his speedruns streams, when things go wrong, he will always get soooo frustrated cuz he feels like he owns god-like skills and entertainment for us. that everything has to be perfect and every little thing will make us hate him forever (although that's clearly not true). you can see he struggles a lot with it, bc almost every friend of his tries to calms him down pretty often. Dream does it, Sapnap does it, Quackity and Karl too. okay, they go hard on him sometimes, but all of them have such care and are e-word by George. you can feel the need to reassure that "everything is fine" when things just don't go well in his streams. and I think that's the cutest thing about them.
people love to criticize them for being "mean to George", but they are all friends after all. i get that can be too much and hard to watch sometimes, but if George was really annoyed by that, i believe he would say something. you gotta remember he's offen described as someone who "doesn't let things get to him" and "don't really care that much".
and I say we don't see not even half of all the love between their friendship. just to imagine how they interact when there's no cameras around, a smile grows in my face. they are the best.
ps: I'm not saying being annoyed at the "bullying George" bit is wrong! it's totally valid!! i do get overwhelmed by that too, but i guess I just like to see the bright side of the things hahah
ps²: I'm sorry if that's too long, i just love rambling about them lmao. hope you're having a wonderful day :]
— 🌙 (hope no one has ever used this one before lol)
The reason Dream says stuff like that is because George will say something like, “I’m worthless” and Dream says,”You’re not worthless,George, we love you” in return and sometimes other people, like in the clip you linked, will say “you’re nothing” and Dream defends him, “he’s not nothing”. I don’t think it’s about George being humble, although I agree he is and it was even the word Dream used to describe him, I just feel like Dream doesn’t like when people joke about themselves or other people like that and he wants to remind people of their worth.
I get what you’re saying about George getting frustrated with himself but later on you say he’s someone that lets things go quickly so I don’t think he gets worked up all that much. He’s just vocal when he makes mistakes in a way the others are not. I would say Dream encourages him and is his moral support“pretty often” and Quackity does too but idk about the others. Although I’m sure there’s examples.
I’ve already stated my opinions on the way they bully George. I don’t like it and I think it’s completely overused and I don’t like the “they’re all friends” argument because first of all yes, we know they are but friends can tease and hurt friends feelings. the problem is most friends are not bullying their friend streaming live in front of thousands of people and a lot of those people think it’s okay to tease that singled out friend on Twitter. So George isn’t only teased by them, he’s teased by some of Twitter too.
And I think it’s mostly when Karl and Quackity get together that they immediately jump on the “bullying George” jokes, because when they’re apart and with George they don’t do it as much. But if Quackity, for example, is streaming with George the vibes are great but then if Karl joins its immediately teasing George time. And that to me, in my opinion as a audience member and as a fan, is annoying. Plus I found it very interesting that they kill George all the time but then in Karl’s VR stream they turned the tables and killed Karl and he was annoyed by it. He was almost self aware.
Yes, I get that they have offline lives are offline friends and all that but if they are the same people offline, which I generally believe they are, then they probably tease George off camera too when they get together. Like the “what’s this then?” thing they do I don’t think that happened on camera, so that’s another teasing “hahaha George has a British accent hahahaa” joke that they probably came up with off camera.
#tw negativity#long post#🌙 anon#emoji anon#no offense but the ‘they’re all friends’ argument is so annoying#because no one is saying they aren’t#and the ‘they are offline friends / have offline lives’ or whatever is annoying too#because yes I get that but I’m only commenting on what I’m seeing on livestreams#so technically it’s a non argument because neither you or I know what they’re like off camera because it’s you know off camera#ughh#and the ‘you’re opinion is valid’ and then saying ‘ I look on the positive side’ is lowkey condescending#I’m sure you didn’t mean it like that but still#you have a good day too

We Interrupt This Broadcast to Bring You an Especially Cursed House
Hello everyone. Originally, this post was supposed to be devoted to the year 1978, however something came up, and by something, I mean this 2.2 million-dollar, 5,420 sq ft 4 bed/4.5 bath house in Colt’s Neck, NJ.
You see, usually, when a listing goes viral, I’m content to simply retweet it with a pithy comment, but this house genuinely shook something in me, genuinely made me say “what the (expletive)” out loud. It is only fair to inflict this same suffering onto all of you, hence, without further ado:
Looks normal, right? Looks like the same low-brow New Jersey McMansion we’re all expecting, right? Oh, oh dear, you couldn’t be more wrong.
Guess who’s making a list and checking it twice?
Guess who’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice?
Guess who’s coming to town?
Guess who’s coming to town to drag your ass into hell?
A gentle reminder that it is not yet Thanksgiving.
But oh. Oh. It continues:
If you’re wondering what’s happening here, you’re not alone, and sadly there is no convenient way to find out via a kind of haunted house hotline or something.
I can’t even label these rooms because frankly I’m not even sure what they are. All I am sure of is that I want out of them as soon as humanly possible.
r̸̘̆e̴̝̻̽m̵̡̼̚ȩ̵͑̎ͅm̷͍̮̉b̸̥̈e̶̯̺̽͗r̸̝͊͠ ̸̡͎̅̀t̴̯̲̓ȯ̷̮̫ ̷̜̅̀ŵ̶̟̱ā̴̭̘s̸̥͋h̴͉̿ ̵̡̑y̸̩͈͑o̷̹̭͛͝ů̷̩̮̔r̶̜̃ ̴̠̗͋ẖ̴̈́͛a̸̢̟̐͒n̶̩̟̆ḍ̵̍̀s̴̨̈́
How is it that a room can simultaneously threaten, frighten, and haunt me? Me, of all people!
My eyes do not know where to go here. They go to the window, they go to the fireplace, they go to the massive mound of fake plant and statuary currently gorging on the leftmost corner of the room, they go to my hands, which are shaking.
“Hello, I would like to get in touch with the Ministry of Vibes? Yes, I’ll hold.”
I haven’t been this afraid of a shower since I went to Girl Scout camp in the fifth grade and there was a brown recluse spider in the camp shower and I screamed until the counselor came in and told me it was only a wolf spider but it turns out those still bite you and it hurts.
I love watching Still Images on my Television Set :)
Nobody make a sound. He’s watching you.
i spy with my evil eye:
:)
Their souls are trapped in these photographs forever :)
Okay, phew, we made it out alive. Here’s the back of the house I guess.
Well, I hope you’re as thoroughly disturbed as I am. Seriously, I’m going to have trouble sleeping. I mean, I already have trouble sleeping, but this is just making that existing problem so much worse.

Sugar Rush : August 2023 CPNs
As with all other CPN posts that involve this lovely pairing, everything in here is speculation/interpretation based on popular concepts in the fandom. facts are also mixed in as well + events that happened before. This is not meant to “deceive or lie” to anyone. If it wasn’t clear, posts like this or similar to it are for cpfs only — and even other cpfs are encouraged to pick and choose what they believe in depending on what makes sense to them. You have to know some of the “lore” in this fandom to appreciate it, or be in that mindset wherein bjyx is probably/possible to be real.
These monthly round-ups, especially for August, have additional commentary and cpns that I didn’t share as an individual post for a variety or reasons. So there may be something “new” here for you.
Enjoy all the sugar! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
• rumor/cpn : XZ anonymously booked 26 cinema screenings in chongqing for yibo’s movie. the funny thing is there was a comment that if they find anonymous screenings for condor heroes movie in henan ( yibo’s hometown ) , they will join the bjyx supertopic 😂😂😂
this could be a different person but we cpn that it’s xz who booked since it’s in CQ. also whoever this was booked premium tickets and not discounted.
no one “released” a rumor or anything, some fans just noticed this while booking their tickets and found it interesting.
• another round of bottled joy cpns, this time around wyb’s alleged renewal with them on september and so much more
• reasons why we think the 26th bday letter post was from xiao zhan
• clues in the bday instagram post art
• fake rumor of wyb’s script having drawings
• XZ’s work week around WYB’s birthday
• Bottled Joy bday greeting to Yibo + Chen Shuo’s bracelet
• A cpf said yibo looked at their phone because her phonecase was a photo of wyb and xz. but again, this is not the proper behavior — following him around and shoving your phone in his personal space. I do not take this as candy, but for archiving purposes, it’s here.
• Unintentional matching 😂😂😂😂
• WYB plays card with Chongqing people 🃏
• Fake stories from paparazzi(s) who “followed” the boys back in 2018/19
• 8/11/2023 Rio Livestream candies
• 8/13/2023 LRLG 🍓🥝
• Yes please, drop more photos and do more similar captions with posts that are days or a week apart 👀
• throwback : the best bottled joy cpn
• 8/13, WYB allegedly drove and went to XZ’s LOCH shoot. You may see some photos and videos that is allegedly the proof but you can’t even see the driver’s face. There’s also some talk that “WYB” was wearing a motorcycle helmet so there will be no chance people seeing him. I don’t know what to think. I understand how exciting it is, how hilarious that people even speculate about this and the fact that cpns like this is dangerous. i would hate for melon/yxh accounts to pick this up and get them in trouble. We already heavily speculate that they visit each other on set because or some clues we see — no need to dig and investigate too much. 🙏🏼
• In the morning of 8/17, Paparazzi were saying XZ and his co-star from the past are not real and have no chance. This went on #1 HS. As expected, XZS pulled some mild sweets. 18:33! YIBO ZHAN ZHAN!
YBO updated minutes later. But my favorite would have to be their second update with 22:30 AI AI ZHAN!
• WYB became the first spokesperson for Pokemon Trading Cards, this is wonderful cause we know how they are big fans of it. I’m happy seeing them basically be the face of brands that they have always loved ( like chanel and gucci for example )
• 8/20/2023 YBO vlog candies 🧁🍭
• Yibo’s signature hand gesture confirmed to mean “wang”
• Qixi Festival number games
There is also some conversations that said XZ was not seen going to work that day. He & WYB could be working on Ad materials and other things, but that means they can go back home earlier. They don’t need a full day to spend Qixi together, tho that would be nice too. They just need time to be together on this romantic day. Maybe we will get more details in the months to come but we wish them all the happiness! 💕
• A new BTS on XZ sort of complaining about WYB/LWJ not looking at XZ/WWX with “yearning” as he walks away. This is so hilarious to me cause it’s so on point on what we have seen from XZ. He may be the calm & poised XZ to everyone but with WYB, he can act spoiled. He can demand more and be frank. The way he wants WYB/LWJ to show the kind of devotion he expects is just— why? why????? and you have WYB who will willingly spoil him and grant his every wish. ✨ A true example of XZ wanting the love WWX/LWJ have to happen to him too.
• similar “trick” of twirling a cloth by their fingers & how different they are
• revisiting the bts of XZ saying he prefers WYB with no makeup on ( he was just stating a universal truth that wyb is handsome even when he is bare faced )
• wool/felt doll cpn
• 8/25 XZS and YBO similarity
• revisiting the blurred background in ZZ’s mirror selfie 📷
• A wedding gift of t-shirts signed by the boys
• WHITE COUPLE SUITS! ☺️
• This month, I saw 2 questionable videos going around related to them. I do not endorse spreading these videos around but i can’t help that it pops up on my weibo feed and fans really have different etiquette when it comes to this. But i have to say that it should be a genera rule to not promote these proxy shooting because it’s too invasive. If they are hiding, we should not be the ones exposing them. They are already working enough as it is to keep their privacy. Please do not ask me for the video. I am mentioning it here for archiving purposes only.
One video is from WYB’s shoot of Luoyang, Lele & YanYan were assisting another guy aside from WYB with an umbrella. Why would they do that? We know the hiding by umbrella ploy was used before, like in SDC 3. So are they using the same tactic to protect this friend when he is visiting the crew?
Second one is at a hotel. Video is allegedly from a 🍤, they were more interested with XZ but they filmed WYB was also in the same hotel. XZ went in without any luggage too.
The videos are not clear at all, to the point that you can’t provide this as evidence in court that “based on this video it’s clearly wyb or xz” , so take it with a grain of salt.
• ZZ draws poker cards
• The start of everyone’s love for the AU pair Shengyang x Chen Shuo! This Sunshine couple! ☀️ These two are so passionate about their dreams, one with art and other w/ dancing. Their smiles. Their positive disposition. How can you not love them???
There is also the observation that SBMS premieres 9/1, conveniently when all the activities for Summer Movies, which includes OnO is done. This is not the first time this year that their projects were not released within the same period. It feels too much of a coincidence. This drama will be done in a month so i don’t know if WYB’s Bright Road can still squeeze in it’s airing before the year ends, tho i’m not optimistic cause drama licensing is tricky. Before LOCH gets released Spring Festival 2024. No matter what happens, All I know is BXGs are booked and busy!
• SOMEONE OPENED A WEBSITE THAT INCLUDES a very detailed timeline analysis of the BTS. If you’re into that and wanna go back & take a look then please do. It’s so interesting! Doing a day by day timeline of the BTS and events that happened, with photos and videos is tedious work so this is such a treat! 💕
-END. See you next Month!
Note : if you plan to reblog this post. Please do not tag it as “Wang Yibo” or “Xiao Zhan” because this does not belong there. It’s specifically for CP audience and tagging it on individual name will expose it to people who are not.

actually, you might wanna delete this. because this has all been clarified and this is a direct copy paste from a reddit comment that contained links to facebook with verification for all of the below information. reddit has since removed the comment with facebook links, but below is the content.
Since I’m Thai and has access to local information. I’ll share some of it. Zookeeper doesn’t handle her constantly. He only fed the mother, gave them a bath and play with Moo Deng from 8:00-9:00AM. He stays with the mother while she’s eating to make sure that the free roaming monkeys in the zoo can’t steal her food. Then he comes back in again at 14:00 to drop some grass for second feeding time. You only get to see pictures and videos of him handling her in this specific hour because that’s the only time he can take them. No one outside the zoo is allowed in the enclosure. You can watch 24/7 livestream if you don’t believe me. Moodeng spends most of the time sleeping next to her mother, mostly in the water. You will almost always tune in to the livestream into her sleeping in the water as a vague distant blob. (Fun fact: she’s very active around midnight local time. That’s the good time to check on her.) Also, this isn’t the keeper’s first hippo, he took care of many before (8 years, 10 hippos IIRC from an interview), including the mother, which is why the mother isn’t aggressive toward him. I’ll believe his expertise over random tumbler user any day. If you check the livestream you can see a glimpse of another hippo in the next enclosure on the top. That’s Moodeng’s 5 years old brother Mootoon (Braised Pork) that he also took care of and he grew into a healthy chonky boy. (Some of the pictures of Moodeng you see online is actually Mootoon.) Yes, zoos can be problematic, but in the case of pygmy hippos, they’re critically endangered with only around 2,500 left in the wild with diminishing habitat. In Thailand alone, at least 10 pygmy hippos have been bred in recent years. While it’s not as ideal as them thriving in the wild, it’s certainly better than letting them go extinct without taking action. Lastly, I’d like to point out how the media tends to exaggerate things. The reports of people throwing objects at her? It’s only confirmed to have happened 2-3 times: once with water, once with a seashell, and maybe with an empty bottle. CCTV installed last month prevents any more. Yet, the news makes it sound like she’s constantly being harassed. Why do I care? Because I’ve been following this baby girl since birth and I’m one of the people who voted for her name before she’s famous. I hate misinformation. If you have any question, go ahead, I’ll answer what I can. TLDR: She’s man-handled only 1-2 hours a day by an expert who has been taking care of hippos for 8 years.
as i said yesterday, folks are seeing a southeast Asian zoo and automatically projecting their racist judgements about animal care onto people who are just trying to do their jobs.
Yeah, you’re not going to see me reblogging anything moo deng related anytime soon.
Her mouth is always open like that not because she’s silly or sassy, but because she’s trying to get her handlers to back off.
She’s agitated and frightened because she’s being manhandled and bothered far too frequently. Picking her up, poking her, spraying her with water when she’s sleeping just to get more clout to post on the internet. If they keep this up, she’s going to turn into quite the dangerous adult.
It’s messed up, and we need to stop circulating this. They need to leave her alone.

Wanted to pop in real quick to discuss what's recently going on with the Vivziepop drama, because when is there NEVER drama with her am I right?
So apparently, a local HH/HB fan on YouTube made a Livestream discussing their thoughts and frustrations towards the recent Helluva boss update, and long story short, Viv herself commented a few times, along with a few spindlehorse members. (However I couldn't find anyone that was other than Viv, but it was confirmed by the Livestreamer) This caused a lot of people to come after said person, so they not that long ago made a video discussing things and touching upon everything, speaking calmly and professionally from the heart:( https://youtu.be/qgIBgwJPXfI )
Before I get to the actual video, I wanted to share my thoughts on viv's comments on the Livestream. I'll link the Livestream down below! For those who don't know, these are what she said. I had screenshots, but since I'm on my phone, I'll have to just type what she said:
"You don't know what's going on. The episode DOES matter but not in the way that causes massive narritive with season 2 and we LITERALLY do not know when we can release."
"We hyped it up because of the work that went in, we were proud. The updates we got completely blindsided us and now we are trying to slavage it. We are doing what is best for the show. We are all heartbroken."
"We had wanted to be honest about everything but a lot happened behind the scenes. All we ask for is understanding. I'm sorry to anyone it upset. I'm heartbroken for everything."
"I'm only saying anything because it's hurtful to see misinformation come out about this, that's all, sorry to say anything."
LINK TO ORIGINAL LIVESTREAM: (https://youtu.be/umVwZwMi2CI)
Okay so.....phew, that's the comments she made under the video I just linked above. Now that you can see what she wrote, let's discuss because......SIGHHH.
First, let me say this now. Like I have said before, it is rather unfortunate that this episode can't release. It is understandable that Vivzie and her crew are disappointed, and you can feel sympathy towards them for something they worked hard on that wasn't able to release. They have a right to be disappointed themselves.
HOWEVER......there NEEDS to be some form of accountability here, ESPECIALLY for what happened to this fan. On the subject matter of her comments, while I’m of course glad Vivzie wasn’t rude or passive aggressive, that doesn’t mean I condone what she did or what she said. First of all, the livestream itself was 35 minutes, and I sat through the WHOLE THING. After listening to it all, I can tell you that there was NO misinformation spread, nor ANYTHING that would warrant vivziepop to comment in the FIRST place. This fan was frustrated yes, but they spoke calmly, professionally, and didn’t say or act out of line ONCE. The video is just her saying her genuine thoughts of how she’s disappointed and how the situation could have been handled better, as well as interacting with the comments. There was NOTHING here that would warrant a sappy comment from Vivzie, this fan did NOTHING wrong and I’m saying that right now. Regardless though, Vivzie still did what she did. The first and MAJOR issue is just that this wasn’t fucking necessary. Why post an update, check YouTube to see if anyone is upset, then go to the comments to give your 2 cents? And yes, Vivzie of course has a right to do this, but the problem is that she SHOULDN’T OF. The issue with Viv as a creator is at this point, she hasn’t learned that as an internet creator, there are going to be times where you GET HATE. People are going to be mad at you or dislike what happens, and the best and most ADULT thing to do in the situation is continue to make public announcements, and just let the other side do what they need to do, aka IGNORE them and just keep doing what you’re doing. Of course though, VIVZIEPOP can’t do that! Nah, she has to comment under someone’s video, therefore increasing the amount of hate said person will get from 50% to 100%. This has been said before, but while I know Vivziepop doesn’t control her fan base, whenever she adds herself to the equation, she should be SMART ENOUGH to know AT THIS POINT that her fans will see her upset, and immediately attack the person that upset her. So….yeah, she can’t control her fandom, but that doesn’t excuse that she could still be a fucking SMART adult about it and go about the situation professionally. To respond to VALID criticism like this is odd. At this point and time, she should VERY MUCH be used to people not agreeing with her and ESPECIALLY on how episode 8 was handled. This should NOT at all be that fucking bizarre to her that there will be people who don’t agree with her. She needs to STOP feeling the need to respond to any sort of negative feedback for her sake and the sake of others cause regardless if she wants it or not, her fans will feel the need to attack or scold anyone who even SLIGHTLY makes her sad. Now, thanks to her, a fan got attacked all because they expressed their frustrations, hence why they made the video I linked at the very top. I suggest watching that, because not only do I agree with everything this person has said, but I feel bad for her. She was a huge fan and she didn’t do ANYTHING wrong, and now she claims that she doesn’t even know If she’s going to buy merch anymore or support the show because the experience has botched it for her. Congrats Vivzie, at this point you’re making your own enemies.
Like I get Vivzie wanting to let everyone know how down she is, and how this has taken a toll on her, but if you want to do that, do it on fucking TWITTER, not some fan’s livestream. This is why I don’t see her as a good person y’all. She makes the same mistakes over and OVER again and instead of acting professionally, she deadass got into some RANDOM fans comment section to feel sorry for herself and it’s DISGUSTING. I’m not even going to discuss what she specifically said in her comments because it’s a load of bullshit anyway. Like….honey just admit you went about the situation illy and work to be better in the future, it’s not that hard.
And the saddest thing is that literally EVERYTHING this fan has said in BOTH videos are correct. She should have been smarter and learned from her past mistakes, she shouldn't have hyped up this episode knowing that it wasn't what she made everyone think it was, she should have owned up to things instead of saying it's "free" knowing damn well her FANS are the one's paying for this shit, and she should have improved by now as a content creator, but she's still the same childish inexperienced person she was since Zoophobia. She may not be as aggressive as she was in the past, but I can clearly see that she hasn't improved.

The Love Among Us
Chapter 1-- I’d Never Snitch On Daddy
so i haven’t seen many corpse husband x reader stories on here, so i decided to upload one myself. i’ve been watching jacksepticeye’s among us videos and when i heard corpse talk for the first time, i was like, “hol up” and now i’ve been obsessed with him. also, go stream his music on spotify, it’s amazing. enjoy! x.
corpse husband x female!reader
summary: while playing among us, y/n watches corpse kill felix in o2. when his body is reported, however, she doesn’t tell who killed him.
word count: ~3.6k
warnings: swearing, mentions of death (not real death), mentions of murder (not real murder)
EDIT: before i wrote this and after i published it, i did not know that corpse did not like to be referred to as “daddy”. had i known this, i would have not even thought of posting this. and since i know now, i won’t refer to him as such in the future. thank you. (10/19/2020)
EDIT 2: this is the first part to my corpse x reader series. i will be adding chapters as we go!
next>
4 rounds before the incident
“I was in coms with PJ!” Sean exclaims.
“He is doing the liar voice!” Felix shouts with a laugh.
“I’m not,” Sean tries to say, but everyone talks over him and the voting time ends. Everyone left alive, though it was only four people, had all voted for him and he yells at them as he gets ejected.
stinky was not the imposter
2 imposters remain
The round ends and everyone unmutes themselves.
“Lizzie, you saw Felix kill me and you did nothing!” Roomie yells as soon as the round ends and the imposters are revealed.
“Yeah, because I was the other imposter.”
“Oh. Okay, well that makes sense.”
Everyone laughs and Ken starts the round again.
“Wait, can I invite y/n to play? She’s doing her twenty-four-hour stream and she just finished playing Monopoly with Mark, Bob, and Wade,” says Lizzie, looking down at her phone as they all appear back in the waiting room.
“Yes,” Corpse blurts out and there are a few laughs and chuckles.
“You were quick to answer, Corpse,” Sean teases.
“Shut up,” Corpse mumbles and there are even more laughs.
Lizzie smiles and taps into her phone. “I’m gonna invite her.”
~
“I can’t believe that you actually made that deal, y/n,” Wade is telling you after ending the second round of Monopoly that you’ve played with them.
You smile and cross your legs on your chair. “Look, I was going bankrupt and it seemed good at the time. Besides, Mark was going to win anyway, he owned half of the board.” Your phone buzzes beside you on your desk and you pick it up. “Lizzie texted me.” There’s a sound effect that plays in your headset and you look up at your screen and smile. “Thanks to _lorieplays _for donating a hundred dollars, that means a lot. Thank you so much.”
“Do you want to play another round?” Marks asks.
You shake your head, reading the text from your friend in England. “No, I don’t want to lose to you again.” You laugh. “Nah, Lizzie wants me to play Among Us with her and a few others. It was fun playing with you guys.”
“It was even though you took all of my money,” Bob snaps.
You laugh. “Yeah, yeah. See you guys later.”
“Bye,” says Mark.
“See y--” Wade begins but you cut him off when you disconnect from the call.
“Oops.” You put a hand over your mouth and laugh. “Sorry, Wade. Okay.” You straighten up and glance over everything, making sure it’s all working properly. “I have to pee and I think my roommate ordered pizza, so we’ll be back after this short break. Enjoy this live feed of my pet rats.” You giggle and switch the stream over to a view of your two rats in their cage where you have a camera set up. You take your headset off and head out of your recording room.
Every two months, you have a twenty-four-hour livestream where you play games with your friends from all around the world. Despite being only twenty-five, your Youtube channel had grown exponentially in the past three years and you’ve had the chance to meet lots of other Youtubers like Markiplier, PewDiePie, and your close friend, LDShadowLady.
Currently, you’re on hour twenty of twenty-four and you’re beginning to feel the effects of not sleeping for a whole day. You had been drinking coffee and energy drinks for the past four hours and that seemed to perk you up for two hours max. But your roommate had ordered pizza and that would hopefully wake you up.
After going to the bathroom and grabbing an entire box of pizza, you return to your recording room and sit down. You put your headset back on and eat a slice of pizza before switching the views back to you. “And we’re back. I hope you guys enjoyed my rats because I don’t. They keep me up at night.”
You read a comment while loading up Among Us and laugh. “No, they’re not dead. They’re sleeping. They do that a lot when they’re not fighting.”
When you finally get into the game and entire the code, you spawn in. You also quickly join the Discord chat and wince when nearly ten voices hit you at once.
“y/n!” exclaims Lizzie and the other voices die down for a moment before rising to greet you.
You wince again but laugh. “Jesus, you guys are loud. Hey, Lizzie.” You move your character to the customize tab and go to try and switch your color. But then you frown and realize that you’re stuck with being dark blue. “Damn, I wanted to be white.”
“Do you want to switch?” Corpse asks.
Your eyes widen you your stomach flips. You hadn’t noticed Corpse was in this game. Immediately, your chat became flooded with keyboard smashing and lots of “omg my shipp” and “y/n rlly said ‘anna oop-’”
“Uh, yeah, if you don’t mind,” you manage to stutter out and take a bite of pizza as Corpse’s player comes over and the white option becomes available. You select it and also select the goggles in the hats menu.
“How’s your stream going?” asks Sean.
You shrug. “Pretty good. I’m super tired, though. I literally almost fell asleep while playing Monopoly with Mark, Wade, and Bob.”
“You went to college, right?” You’re pretty sure that’s Roomie.
“Yep,” you affirm with a nod even though they can’t see you. “You’d think that those all-nighters writing papers and studying for finals would make me able to do this.”
There’s a laugh in the group and the round starts.
3 rounds before the incident
You scratch your eyebrow and sigh in relief when you’re the crewmate. You mute yourself and slide up in your chair.
“I like being the crewmate,” you say, heading towards admin as a habit. “It’s a lot less stressful than being imposter.”
After doing your tasks in admin and fueling the engines, you stumble across a dead body in the lower engine and a vent closing.
“Oh,” you say, and press the report button. You unmute yourself and begin with, “So I saw a vent close but I didn’t see who went in.”
“Who died?” asks Lizzie.
“Felix,” says Sean.
You smirk. “It’s always yellow that dies first.”
“Where was the body?” Ken asks.
“Lower engine,” you reply.
“I was in medbay with Corpse doing the scan so it wasn’t him,” PJ says and Corpse makes a noise of confirmation.
This makes your cheeks heat up and you smack a hand over your mouth. Your chat explodes again but you decide to ignore it.
“And I was doing wires in cafeteria,” Lizzie says.
“Sean, where were you?”
“I was in reactor doing the simon says thing,” he answers.
You sigh. “I hate that one. What about you, Ken?”
“I was with Roomie in electrical doing the power thing. You know, the one where you have to divert it somewhere else.”
“So do we skip then?” asks Lizzie.
“No one is super sus, so I’m going to skip,” you answer.
When no one is ejected, you mute yourself again. “I dunno why, but Sean seems pretty sus. Because I didn’t see him on the way down from upper engine. But I guess he could have gotten there in time.” You shrug and run over to the trash chute in the cafeteria. “RIP to Felix, though.”
After doing the trash there, you head down to storage, running into Corpse doing the wires in there. You wait there to clear him and once you do, you run a few circles around him to get his attention and he follows you over to the trash in storage and watches you do that. After that, the two of you head over to electric together and do wires there.
Suddenly, there’s a body reported and you unmute yourself.
“Sean just killed Lizzie in front of me!” exclaims PJ.
“PJ killed Lizzie,” Sean retorts, flipping the blame. “I watched it, he didn’t realize I was there and murdered her.”
“I watched PJ do the scan in medbay, he’s cleared,” Corpse says and you find yourself smiling for no reason. “Sean, you killed Lizzie.”
“I knew he was sus,” you say, grabbing another piece of pizza. You look at the box and your eyes widen. Had you really already eaten half of it?
“Wait wait, how am I sus?” Sean asks.
You take a moment to swallow. “Because when I was doing fuel earlier, I was running down from upper engine and didn’t see you in reactor. Sure, maybe you could have gotten there earlier, but it was super weird.”
The discussion time ends and PJ immediately goes to vote for Sean as well as you, Corpse, and everyone else still alive. Sean ends up getting ejected.
stinky was an imposter
1 imposter remains
“You’re such a detective, y/n,” Sean says when he gets ejected.
You laugh. “I just play this game too much.” You then mute yourself and smile. “I am a genius.”
You end up finishing your tasks quickly after that and then stand in the cafeteria and eat another piece of pizza and read some of the chat.
“’ What am I going to do after this?’ I don’t know. I might play some Minecraft. Should I have a poll on Twitter? I’m stuck between public Among Us games, Minecraft, and taking random quizzes on Buzzfeed.” You smile and hear another sound effect and something pops up on the screen. “Thank you to coochie man for donating a hundred dollars, that means a lot.” You laugh at their name. “I love your name, by the way.”
There’s some rattling in the cage behind you and you turn around to see one of your rats drinking water. You turn back to the chat and read another comment. “’ Do you have a crush on Corpse?’” You blush and smile, biting your lip. “I mean, his voice is hot. I’ve never met him since he lives in San Diego and I live in h/t, but yeah, I guess I do. I’ve been listening to his music for the past few days and it’s really good, you guys should go check it out.”
You look up and unmute yourself when a body is reported. “Who died?” you ask. “I wasn’t paying attention.”
“Are you already done with your tasks, y/n?” Corpse asks.
God, even the way he says your name is making you blush. “Yeah, I get them done quick.”
“She does that,” says Lizzie, “She always gets her tasks done quick.”
“Ken is dead by the way,” says Roomie and your snort, smacking a hand over your mouth. “I found him in the hallway by navigation. Where was everyone else?”
“I was in cafeteria doing nothing,” you say, leaning back in your chair and spinning around just a little. “I think I saw PJ downloading while I was in there, but I wasn’t paying attention.”
“Yeah, I was downloading,” says Ken.
After more discussion, Corpse points out that Jaiden had been following him and it looked like she had been faking tasks.
“No I haven’t,” she says.
“That sounds like something the imposter would say,” you hum with a smirk. “That’s pretty sus, Jaiden.”
Everyone else agrees and you all end up voting Jaiden out.
jaiden was the imposter
0 imposters remain
You cheer as the round ends and a blue victory screen pops up for the crewmates. “Good game, guys,” you say and play again, waiting for the host.
~
1 round before the incident
“Oh my god, I’m imposter again?” you groan and sigh when you spawn back in. “I was just imposter, I don’t want to be it again. I’m so bad at it,”
After another short round of you and Felix losing to the crewmates, you all agreed to play two more rounds before Sean had to leave. So you move your character to admin where PJ is and fake the card swipe before moving over to the admin security thing where you could see who was around where. Luckily, no one appeared to be near admin, so you quickly kill PJ and escape through the vent and come out through medbay.
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,” you whisper over and over, running down to storage. “That was clean.” You fake getting fuel and go back up to the upper engine.
When PJ’s body is reported, you see that your fellow imposter, Sean, had reported it. You stay silent for most of the round and only say that you were in the fuel area when it was reported.
“Yeah, I saw her run past electrical earlier,” Corpse says. You blush and glance at your exploding chat and shake your head.
After everyone skips the round, you mute yourself once more and head towards navigation. “I hate this.” You drag the last syllable and watch Lizzie enter the room. You wait a moment before walking towards her and killing her, jumping into one of the vents. You let out a sigh and flex your fingers. “I’m so stressed.” You exit out of the vent into shields and your heart stops when you see someone else in there but you realize that it’s the other imposter, Sean, and you relax.
You run past him and go to the trash compartments and pretend to unload those. And that’s how the rest of the round goes. You kill someone, someone reports it and you vote someone off. Eventually, you and Sean do a double kill and end up winning the round.
You unmute yourself.
“Let’s go!” Sean exclaims and you smile.
“I can’t believe you killed me, y/n!” shouts Lizzie. “I thought we were friends.”
You laugh. “There are no friends in this game. I’m not loyal to anyone in this game. You could be my best friend and I would fucking murder you.”
“That’s cold,” says Roomie as everyone else spawns back in.
“Yeah,” you nod.
“Wait, PJ disconnected,” says Sean, and you all end up waiting for him to rejoin.
In that time, you look at your chat and say, “Hey, do you guys have any questions for who I’m playing with. I’m asking you, chat.”
“I swear if someone asks about my hands, I’m leaving,” Corpse says and everyone laughs.
You laugh louder when you read a comment and read it aloud, “_Ironlady _says that you should be a hand model, Corpse.”
“Okay, I’m leaving,” you hear Corpse say over everyone laughing.
“No, stay!” you exclaim, trying not to laugh. “C’mon, don’t leave.”
He sighs deeply and your brain goes fuzzy. “Fine. I’ll stay for you.”
You beam and your tummy turns. You ignore the whistles and remarks from everyone else and stand beside Corpse. You suddenly wish that the little bean characters could hold hands.
When PJ joins the server again, Ken starts the round and you cross your fingers, hoping to get crewmate.
0 rounds before the incident
You mute yourself and sigh when you’re a crewmate. “Thank god.” You let out a breath and go over to admin with everyone else. You swipe your card and go to the cafeteria to do some wires there.
The game turns out to be rather uneventful. A few people die and two people are voted off before the game gets truly interesting. And that happens when you walk in on Corpse and Felix.
“I’ve had this song stuck in my head for days,” you’re saying, walking from electrical over to O2. “And I can’t get it out of my head. Maybe singing it will help.” You hum the first part. “Don't go in there, you'll become one. Freaky creatures, monster party. Eyes of yellow, scales and feathers, tails in tethers. Turn the lights off. Bend the nightmare, you control it. Artful dodger, easy does it. Shut the closet, get under the covers. Snakes and lovers. Turn the lights off.” You do a little dance for a moment and continue hum the song, glancing at the chat as you go towards O2 after doing wires in storage.
“Like, I know the song, it’s just been stuck in my head,” you explain. “And it kind of annoys me--”
But you stop as you enter O2 and watch Corpse murder Felix. Neither one of you move and you don’t know what to do. “Uhhh.”
Then, without thinking, you turn straight around and make your way away from the scene of the murder. “I didn’t see anything!” you shout to no one. “I suddenly can’t see who murdered Felix.” You smack a hand over your mouth and stand in the middle of a hallway. “Oh my god, what do I do? I don’t want to snitch on Corpse, he’s hot.” You scratch the back of your neck and shrug, continuing on to reactor. “I didn’t see anything.”
You’re in the middle of doing the simon says in reactor when Felix’s body is reported. You unmute yourself and fidget with the sleeve of your hoodie. You know exactly who killed Felix.
“--was in O2,” says Jaiden and you focus back into the conversation. “And I didn’t see anyone around.”
“I saw you heading that way, y/n, but I know it wasn’t you because I saw you do the trash in storage.”
You look at the screen when Sean talks to you and you chew your lip. “I know who killed Felix.”
“Who?” asks almost everyone at the same time.
You close your eyes and swallow. It’s just a game, why are you taking this so seriously? Suddenly, a song lyric pops into your head and your stomach flips. You imagine yourself saying it and no one knows who you mean except for him.
You open your eyes. “I’d never snitch on daddy.”
There’s a laugh in the chat and you blush fiercely, your livestream chat blowing up once again.
“I think we know who it is, then,” says Sean, laughing.
“Yeah,” agrees Lizzie and your eyes widen.
“Wait, what?” you ask, watching everyone vote almost as soon as the discussion time ends. “Wait, hang on, who--”
“We know who you’re talking about, y/n,” PJ tells you.
You vote for yourself and your brain goes blank as you see that everyone voted for Corpse. He even voted for himself. They knew. They all _knew _about your feelings for Corpse.
The round ends with Corpse being voted out and the crewmates win. There’s some talking, but you stay on the victory screen. You’re trying to decide if your mad or embarrassed or both.
“I didn’t know you’d say that, y/n,” Corpse says, effectively breaking you out of your trance. “I thought you were gonna snitch on me.”
“You heard her,” teases Lizzie and you can tell she’s grinning. “She’d never snitch on you, Corpse.”
He laughs and you feel something in a certain place. “Oh my god, I’m gonna die of embarrassment.” You put your face in your hands, listening to your friends tease you in the chat. You suddenly want to jump out your window and run into traffic.
“Don’t die,” comes Corpse’s voice through the onslaught of teasing. “I’ll be sad.”
“Fuck!” you shout and slam your hand on your desk, shaking your equipment and scaring your rats. “I’m so sorry, Corpse, that was really weird, I--”
“Stop.” He interrupts you and the chat goes silent and you look up at the screen even though you can’t see him. “It’s okay. It was funny.”
Your eyes widen and then narrow. Funny? He thought what you said was funny? How could he think it was funny?
But then he speaks again and he sounds oddly flustered. “Uh, I gotta go. Um, it was fun playing with you guys. Bye, y/n.”
“Bye Cor--” but then he disconnects and you’re left talking to no one. “--pse.”
There’s a long moment of silence until Felix breaks it. “I can’t believe you just watched me die and didn’t do anything about it.”
There are some laughs and you smile faintly, rejoining the game. “Yeah, uh, sorry about that.”
“Are you okay, y/n?” asks Lizzie.
You blush and swallow. “I don’t know. God, I’m so weird.” You run a hand through your hair and adjust your headphones
“No, you’re not,” Roomie assures you. “He has a crush on you, too.”
Your eyes widen and you scoot up in your chair. “He does?”
“I mean, he called you pretty once during a game and said that he watches your videos a lot, so maybe.”
You groan and sink in your chair. “I’m gonna go, I need to run into traffic now.”
A few people laugh or chuckle and Lizzie asks you if you’re actually going to leave.
“Yeah,” you tell her. “But not to run into traffic. I’m going to go play Minecraft to soothe myself.”
“Aw.” You can practically hear her frown. “Okay. Bye, y/n.”
“Good luck with your stream,” Ken tells you.
You grin. “Okay, thanks, bye.”
When you exit the game and leave the chat, you scream. You actually scream and it’s loud. Your roommate even knocks on your door, asking if you’re okay.
You look at them and nod. “Yeah, totally fine. Probably about to have a mental breakdown, but I’m fine.”
“Okay,” they say and lean on the doorframe. “But I’m not cutting bangs for you again.”
You laugh and nod. “Yeah, okay, fine.” They leave and you turn back to your stream, feeling like you’re about to cry. Corpse knows you have a crush on him. And it seems like he has one on you as well, but now you’re embarrassed because you called him ‘daddy’ on stream.
You rub your eyes. “Well, now I know what’ll be streaming on Twitter tonight,” you tell the chat.

Shinya X Christmas Livestream 25th December 2021 (Open part)
Notes: This is a translation of the first part (30 min) of Shinya’s livestream on Christmas. You can still watch it at his channel. Keep in mind he is the only talking, so sometimes he makes long pauses to read comments, just jump from one topic to another or answer comments directly.
----
Shinya starts greeting everyone and wishing a Merry Christmas. He says he hasn’t done a livestream since September and asks the viewers how everyone spent their Christmas day. He reads some comments.
Shinya: Yes I’m wearing a Santa hat, because it’s Christmas. You wear it once a year, last year I couldn’t wear one. It seems that many people were working today even though it’s Saturday so…good job! It seems many people started their holidays yesterday too….
He reads another comment.
Shinya: Yes, I also have a christmas tree *points at the Christmas tree* I decorated it last year too….*reads more comment* You are working until 29th ohhh….ehhh….ehh….”I’m working tomorrow as well”…..”I’m still working”…. ehhh…There are many people working until the 31st….Me…..I have nothing to do until 31st, but once the year begins I have to start recording….after recording, the rehearsals for Shinkiba live starts….it seems that many of you couldn’t get tickets for Shinkiba….I’m really sorry….how was it for you, guys? Could you get tickets? You couldn’t?....there are people saying they are going both days….that’s amazing…*reads comments* “I lost”, “I lost”…. It seems like 98% of people lost the lottery….Maybe…. it may or may not be recorded…in case there is one….please look forward to it…(*subtle Shinya lol*)
He adds once Shinkiba lives are done, he has an event with Seraph. He puts on screen the flyer of the event and explains the details of their first live after two years. He says the first part of the event is going to be a live performance, and the second part a talk. Only Shinya channel members can buy VIP tickets, so if you want to buy one, you still can subscribe to his channel. You can also only watch the second part of this livestream if you are a Shinya channel member.
He appears again on screen asking people to not confuse halls, as this is in Otemachi and not in Shimbashi.
Shinya: What should we talk about? I’m going to see the comments….*reads comments* you are talking about Shinkiba…..yes, I decorated the tree myself….it was quite tiresome…decorating was ok….but cleaning up after that was hard…..”what’s on the table?”….on the table?...you mean this? *points at the table* that’s a candle….
Shinya: I uploaded a video about Wikipedia yesterday….did you guys watch it?....it’s 35 min though…ah!...once I posted the video, the Wikipedia page was fixed with the right information….thank you to those who corrected it!....Some things were written in more detail than I said, so it became a proper wikipedia page….thank you!....please watch it!...they corrected it really fast….it was already changed when I looked at it a few hours later….a thing that was added is that solving mysteries is one of my hobbies…
Shinya talks again about Shinkiba. He says there is a deer head in the dressing room. As Shinkiba is closing, he says he wants to get that head, so he might ask someone. He says he has no interest in other items from Shinkiba.
Shinya: “Maybe you can get it as a birthday present”…. Eh….for that, someone had to made a reservation…the people involved (staff)…..*reads a comment* I’m wearing my apple watch…I use it to track my sleeping time….today I slept 7 hours and 21 minutes…I slept from 2:05 min to 7:24… and from 14:22 to 16:47…*he tries to show the app on his phone to the screen but its blurry*… You can’t see it…..oh, I don’t wear rings usually……*reads a comment* Yes, I don’t wear it when I have a bath….I charge it when I’m taking a bath…cause it usually charges within an hour….Films I have watched recently?.....mmm…more than films, I rewatched Prison Break after a few years….I just watched until season 4…..and I saw they have a 5 season so I rewatched it from season 1….I watched the whole thing in 5 days….Prison Break is really interesting….I like Bellick too…..I hated him at first but, I ended up liking him….
..
Shinya: *Answering a comment* I will archive this livestream if the talk is exciting….if it’s exciting, I think I’m going to archive it…until now, it’s not, so I don’t know…..*reading an comment* “Do you actually play a stringed instrument when you write a song?”….I did in the past…now I use computer software….cause recently it has the sound of a real guitar so I fully do it with the computer…..
..
Shinya: You all are just writing “this talk is exciting” is it exciting?....I guess I will archive the livestream then….there is no sound in this room right now, so I don’t know if it’s exciting or not at all….”I want to see how do you display your board game collection”…..my board collection is…..*points at the mirror behind him* it’s in there… that mirror glass wall…..I can’t open it though….”It’s a ninja house”…..it’s not…my favourite board now….it’s one you have to construct typical ojisan sentences….it has many cards…you have to line them up and make gross typical ojisan sentences…it has really weird words…. The point is to create sentences with really gross words….
Shinya explains a bit amore about the game.
Shinya: “Do you know the members LINE?”…..eh….I just know Die’s….I sent him a LINE message for his birthday… ehh….*checks his phone* What did I send to him?.....”Happy birthday! Please keep improving your muscle training this year as well”….I got a “Thank you” stamp as a reply…I don’t see the members since the final tour live in Shizuoka….it’s been already a month since the end of the tour…I’m not seeing them anymore this year, I will see them next year at the Shinkiba rehearsal…I’m not going to see them for a while…
..
Shinya: Have you listened to Kyo’s Petit Brabacon? *laughs* I listened to the 3 songs yesterday at Spotify…everyone is writing “petit”…..haven’t you listened to petit brabacon yet?... petit…. Yukihiro’s drumming is amazing…. Ohhh tomorrow is L’arc en ciel live….I might be going…I might go or not….as tomorrow is the tour final…I might go…
..
Shinya: I tried to find a way to call Seraph’s fans once….somehow,as Seraph is an angel/heavenly…I thought something like “humans”….but “humans”….if “humans” come to a Dir live, when Kyo sings the “Let’s stop being humans” line…(from Diabolos)….at the same time it’s going to be like if they were told to stop being a Seraph fan….that’s really problematic..isn’ t it?....
…
Shinya: “Do you have any plans for your drum set next tour?”… Right now….it changed a bit…I think the cymbals are going to change a bit…I talked last time about using brown drumsticks..I want to try that….Shinkiba goods….now the designs are being checked….I’m also thinking about Seraph’s goods, if there is something you want, please write it….
Shinya: Kyo told me he wanted to play games with me, but I don’t play fortnite…..Dead by Daylight is an option….talking about videogames…I was going to receive on the 27th a gaming computer, but it arrived yesterday…right now is there….*points at it*…from now on, I will play Dead by Daylight on my computer…. fortnite is interesting….everyone plays fortnite and Apex….time ago I used to play Game Boy Advance with Kyo, it was at the time you had to use a connection cable to connect both (devices)….we used to play at the airport when we went abroad…..*reading a comment* you play fornite with your family?....I wonder if you can do that with your phone…
Shinya: “Your Yamanote line videos are funny”…thank you so much….next Yamanote video…we are going to Harajuku… if you have any ideas of what content you want to see, please tell me…
Shinya: “You are not selling calendars for next year”….that’s right….we didn’t do one this year, last year we made so many, that forgot about this year…….there were many people in Harajuku, we went to Harajuku from Shibuya….we went on a Saturday….
Some ask if someone noticed it was Shinya while doing his youtube video and Shinya thinks no one noticed it was him, people just realized the camera.
Shinya: “A Seraph calendar that starts in April”….it seems some of you want a Seraph Calendar that starts in April…I will think about it….a daily rip-off-a-page calendar…..that’s a bit complicated....you are really demanding a calendar that starts in April….
(*In japan, fiscal year as well as school year starts in April.*)
Shinya: That’s right…there is a broadcasting on the 29th in wowow, I haven’t checked it so once you watch it, please share what you think about it….the drum’s footage is nice….you can watch wowow on your phone….a lot of you are watching it on tv…do you guys have a tv?....mine is there….*points*….the tv is there, and there are board games around there….

Haikyuu Boys Walking In On You Dancing (smexy edition)
Lineup: Tsukishima Kei, Azumane Asahi, Kozume Kenma, Yamamoto Taketora and Oikawa Tōru.
Warning: cursing, one mention of alcohol, and suggestive smexy content
A/Note: So yes two in a day, I was extra motivated y’all don’t question it. It’s probably because it’s been so long. The songs are just what I like to listen to, m sorry.
Tsukishima Kei
♬♩♪♩ Sean Paul – She Doesn’t Mind ♩♪♩♬
Tsukishima was looking for his bluetooth headphones everywhere because he was positive he had left them on the couch, in the living room. However, they seemed to have grown legs and walked elsewhere, he joked to himself. “Y/N! Shorty! Have you seen my headphones?” he called loudly but no response. He walked through the house shouting your name but you were nowhere to be found. Tsukishima glanced at the clock on the wall; it read 4:30PM. He considered maybe you had been outside, possibly reading a book which you often did.
He was right; there you were blanket laid on the grass with the long-forgotten book and you standing up dancing with his headphones. You hadn’t seen him yet and he had considered stopping you but he just couldn’t. Kei stood at the door admiring the way your hips rolled and body moved. He wondered what you were listening to make you dance this way, so beautifully, so erotically. Tsukishima wasn’t much of a dancer but he’d love to be body to body with you right now. He had clearly gotten a bit too excited and the tent in his pants was proof. His cheeks burned red in embarrassment, you still dancing, unaware of his presence.
He quietly crept up behind you gently clasping his hands around your waist. You jumped a bit, immediately lowering the headphones. “I was looking for those you know,” he whispered lowly in your ear. “I- I’m sorry you can have them back now,” you apolgise trying to turn around. He held your body still, pressing his closer to yours. Then you felt it, the hardness pressed against your back, “But I want something else now. Hmmmm. Care to help me with it shortcake?” he asked his hands finding his way below your shirt, caressing your chest and brushing over your nipples. “K- Kei we’re outside. S-someone could see,” you tried reasoning.
“Really… Hmm you didn’t seem to mind a few seconds ago. So unless you want the neighbors to get a perfect view of your body being wrecked which I’m sure they wouldn’t mind get your ass on the bed upstairs right now,” he said biting your ear, eliciting a whimper from you. “I- y-yes sir,” you reply, pulling yourself from his grasp to go upstairs, he followed closely behind.
Azumane Asahi
♬♩♪♩ Bailando – Enrique Iglesias ♩♪♩♬
Asahi was busy at work in his office; with a tight deadline and 3 designs to perfect every waking hour was spent working. But he’s been staring at the blank page for the past 20 minutes with no breakthrough and it’s not because he couldn’t come up with anything, he just couldn’t concentrate. Why? Because right now you were just outside his door in the living room blasting music. It’s not like you meant to disturb him or had forgotten either, he just didn’t tell you.
He knows you’d insist on staying up to ungodly hours with him as he finished his designs so he told you he’d be in bed shortly, he just had some papers to sign. He hoped you would go to sleep but nope. Asahi wanted to leave you to your music he truly did, he knew you were happiest when you’re dancing and enjoying yourself but he wanted to enjoy it with you. The faster he finished the faster he could come and be with you, so he decided to tell you.
“Hey-,” the words died in his throat as his eyes landed on you. Asahi considered retreating to his office right now but he couldn’t move. You hadn’t heard him and he was kind of glad you didn’t. Your hips swayed to the beat, moving in just the right way, his eyes didn’t leave you. Your clothes hugged your body just right even if they were just sleepwear. Was that really what you wore to sleep he thought? If he had noticed all this sooner he was sure your nights would end a much different way. Asahi’s face flushed red; he cursed himself for thinking such inappropriate thoughts.
Your hands trailed up your body that was moving to the music as you finally turned to see him. “Oh! Hey, honey. I didn’t see you there,” you paused the music and walked up to him. “I- I wanted you to turn down the music. I- mean if that’s alright,” he said scratching his neck. “Yeah yeah. I’m sorry honey. Lemme do that and you can get back to your work,” you pulled his hand to your lips placing a kiss on them, and walking back to the speaker. “W-wait could you umm maybe help me with something. It's fine if you can’t,” he waved his hands in front of him. You look down to find a very turned-on Asahi and chuckled, “Mmmm Of course honey. Maybe next time you can join me dancing. I didn’t know you liked it so much.” Asahi hid his face in his hands as he followed you to the bedroom.
Kenma Kozume
♬♩♪♩ LUV – Tory Lanez ♩♪♩♬
Kenma was busy working a TikTok Livestream because his followers and subscribers have been bombarding his inbox with messages to get one. He was currently in the process of making sure everything was in order as people started popping in and saying hi. You were in the bedroom trying to strike up some inspiration but instead, you got so caught up in the music. Meanwhile, Kenma was telling them about his day but the chat was blowing up with questions so he had skipped over to answer them.
About an hour had passed and he was getting a bit hungry so he decided to headed over to the kitchen, phone in hand to get some apple pie from the fridge. Everyone started commenting typical Kodzuken, a couple people suggested that he ask you if you wanted any. His fan base was very familiar with your presence and often asked for ideas where he would interact with you. The community loved seeing the softer side of Kenma that came out when you were around. His phone was turned to face you so everyone could see you when he entered.
Not even five seconds after he opened the door he closed it. “Hey guys, ummm I need to go. I’ll come back later. Kodzuken out,” he quickly ended the stream and turned off his phone. “Hey, baby. Are you ok?” you peeked out from the door one side of your bluetooth earbuds still in. His face was tinted pink as he pushed you into the room, “I- Kitten … umm my fan base just saw… they … well how you were dancing and I-,” you stopped him pulling him to lay his head on your lap. “I’m sorry baby, but it’s nothing special. Was I bad?” You ask while stroking his hair but he sat straight up. “No! I mean no, you weren’t bad. It was just,” he played with his fingers, “It was just really seductive and it's that’s not really for my fan base to see. “
“Oh? Then who is it for then? Hmmm,” you asked in a teasing manner. He was embarrassed but still confidently answered, “For me ok. It’s for me now stop teasing me ok,” he pouted turning away from you. You giggled, “I’m sorry but maybe you want me to continue. For you alone that is?” He thought about it but then his stomach growled, “Ok I do but maybe eat some apple pie with me first?” You nodded and you both headed to the kitchen but don’t think he forgot about your suggestion.
Yamamoto Taketora
♬♩♪♩ Fast Wine – Machel Montano ♩♪♩♬
Today had gone by pretty slow, and you spent it watching movies and just spending time with Yamamoto. But now it was a bit later and you were feeling some creative juices flowing so you decided to put that to use you grabbed your stuff and set it up at the kitchen counter. He decided to up Kenma’s offer to play some games. About two hours had gone by and your shoulder was getting pretty sore. The playlist was pretty upbeat and just as you had gotten up a dance-worthy song had begun to play. You thought maybe it’d be a good warm-up.
You were swaying your body to the beat and getting in the rhythm. Your hips moved freely as you dragged your hand over your body and fit your dancing to the nature of the song. What you didn't know, is as soon as you started to dance Taketora was coming to get some snacks and check up on you. But his plans changed when he saw you dancing, he froze. If he went back now he’d definitely have to take a cold shower and he saw no difference if he stayed. So he decided to enjoy it for a bit. His cheeks were lightly dusted pink and the situation in his pants was only getting harder.
He felt weird just standing there, kind of like he was being a creep so he decided to quickly run to the kitchen and run back as the song came to a close. “H-hey baby. Just getting a snack and heading back,” he said hurriedly. “Oh ok. Did you enjoy the view?” you quirked your eyebrow smirking at him. “W-what? I didn’t see anything just you baby always se- I mean beautiful as ever,” he turned away from you and opened the fridge. You slowly walk up behind him, and start climbing your fingers up his arms, “Really nothing? I guess that’s too bad, I wanted to know what you thought. Guess I just have to assume it was terrible.”
“Wait! Baby your dancing is really amazing and sexy! How could you say it’s bad!” he shouted covering his face in realisation of what he just said. You burst out in a fit of laughter, it was so easy to get him to admit things, “Babe I’m sorry but I’m glad you like it. I didn’t know how much you saw I only caught you down to the end. But I’m glad you like it I but I do see that your little friend down there liked it much more.” You pointed down to his crotch which he covered while flushing bright red. “I’m sorry I- umm I’ll take care of it,” he apologised turning to leave. “How about we both have a shower and I can fix it for you hmm,” you held his hand and whispered in his ear. “Y-yes p-please. Thank you,” he looked down blushing as you led him to the bathroom.
Oikawa Tōru
♬♩♪♩ Hips Don’t Lie – Shakira ♩♪♩♬
Oikawa was gone for practice and you decided it’d be fun to catch up with your friends because it had been a while. You were on a video call and you guys had started talking about music and gotten into a bit of details about dancing. So now you and all your friends were showing their wining and grinding skills. This was a rather normal occurrence because in all honestly things always got wild between you guys. Put the three of you in a club and all eyes would be on you in no time. It was always a surprise how a couple shots could go such a long way.
You were going off to this song, all the seductive movements, hands dragging over the dips of your body and your hips moving at just the right tempo. Tōru had forgotten his water bottle and came back only to find you dancing. Turned on was an understatement but his time in Brazil gave him experience in more than one way and he was going to use that. This man was not shy but he did wait for the right moment to jump in. He came up behind you resting his hands on your waist, guiding your movement with his. “Hey cutie, moving that beautiful body of yours I see,” he whispered in your ear gently biting it. “You startled me,” you smiled still dancing as you put your arms back against his chest and dragged your body down his, slowly coming back up.
He started placing kisses on your neck, “Mmmm m sorry, fuck I’m not gonna make it to practice baby.” He twirled you away from his body only to bring you back and dip you. He smiled and pulled you up for a kiss. Suddenly, whistles and claps erupted, “Shit- I forgot I was talking to them.” He chuckled as they asked where they can find themselves an Oikawa Tōru. “Well ladies there’s only one and I don’t think Y/N-chan is sharing,” giving them a wink.
“Well, I don’t know you cause a lot more problems than fix them,” you joke as he clutched his chest. “How rude Y/N-chan! Maybe I’ll take your friends up on their offer then,” he crossed his arms and pouted childishly. “You’re not going anywhere, you’re all mine mister, and now what’s that about not going to practice. What did you have in mind?” you asked ending the call with your friends. He didn’t reply, just grabbed you by the waist and placed you on his lap, earning a small squeak from you.
Tell me if you'd like to see anyone else for this? Whether it's MHA or Haikyuu, maybe even Jujutsu Kaisen.
If you liked my writing, maybe you’d like to buy me a coffee?

Among You and Me - Corpse x Reader Oneshot (part 2)
Fandom: Corpse, youtubers Warning: Profanity, a lot of swear words, fluffiness, quite long Pairing: Corpse x f!reader Summary: You and Corpse continues with your conversations and it makes you realize that you have feelings for each other.
Requested
< Previous | Next >
After Corpse had followed you on instagram the two of you talked like nonstop for days. It almost felt like you had known him for years. You had the same humor and he talked about some horror stories he wanted to do and you thought they sounded cool - but not wanting to admit that they scared you as well. You talked about school and how stressed out you were for the essays and exams that were coming up soon.
“I have an exam next Wednesday so I will be off the internet the whole day :(“ you wrote and buried your head in your pillow.
“That sucks big time.”
“It doesss.”
“Wait… Then you will miss my upcoming stream that day :(“
Shit, you thought. You really wanted to see his stream but right now you don’t have time for it. Which sucks even more than school.
“Probably, I’m sorry :(“ you said and locked your phone to get ready for school.
Corpse POV.
I read the message she sent again and didn’t know what to answer. My brain was so tired so it had problems with coming up with coherent replies. I was not prepared for how the feeling of hurt and sadness that came with that response.
Why did I react like this, of course she has other stuff to do than to watch my stream…
But I couldn’t shake the hurt feeling from my chest. Even though we only had talked for a couple of days it felt like we had known each other for longer than that. She felt like a close friend almost. And when she was with me on my streams, it reduced my anxiety and my nervousness to know that she was watching, somehow it eased my nerves a lot.
Why do I need you there with me to feel safe? he thought to himself and started to type in a response.
“It’s okay, nail those exams for me ;)” he hit send. Thoughts fucking exams that is keeping you away from my stream.
Wait, wait, where the fuck did that thought come from?
I shook my head, trying to think about something else. I pressed on (Y/N)’s profile on instagram and started to go through her feed. There were some selfies, some pictures of nature and different places where she had been. Some pictures with friends and some with her family. I stopped on a specific selfie of her. She looked so beautiful on it, all I could do was to admire it - and her. Then I did something I thought I’d never do. I took a screenshot of the photo and saved it as my background on my phone.
I will never meet her so this won’t do any harm, I told myself before I fell asleep.
Your POV.
You threw your bag at the couch and fell down face first in the bed. School was killing you at the moment and it wasn’t better with the essays that were piling up on your schedule. You groaned into the pillow and then took up your phone, one message from instagram. You opened it and it was from Corpse. Your heart made a little extra jump everytime you saw the name appear, and that he had answered you. You smiled and read the text.
“It’s okay, nail those exams for me ;)”
“I will try my best to ace them, just for you ;)” you felt bold writing the last part. But what the hell right?
You hit send and waited for him to respond. He was probably asleep now, knowing his weird sleeping schedule. Not wanting to wait the whole day - it would drive you nuts and also give you thoughts like “what if I’m annoying or disturbing him?” “what if my message woke him up and he’ll get mad and never want to talk to me again?” “what if…” you know?
You opened your texted book and tried your hardest to study, but it was hard when your mind was constantly wanders away to Corpse - the man that has been on your mind all the time lately and you didn’t mind it really.
Is it possible to fall in love with someone that you haven’t met? you thought. Because if it is so, then I’m fucked...
Corpse POV.
I must’ve slept for more than three hours for the first time in weeks because I almost didn’t feel dead. I looked over at my phone and I had two messages. One from Dave checking up on me and one from (Y/N). I checked (Y/N)’s message first.
“I will try my best to ace them, just for you ;)”
I got a warm feeling on my chest reading the last part, just for you. I liked that. I liked that a lot actually, more than I liked to admit to myself. I looked at my background picture and there she was smiling at me. Even though it was just a picture from instagram it felt like she smiled at me. And only to me. Some confidence sparked inside of me and I messaged her again.
“Can I get your number?”
Your POV.
You had taken a break from your studying and were watching Mark, Bob, Wade and Sean playing Phasmophobia. It was hilarious to watch. Your phone lit up and you had gotten a message from Corpse on instagram.
“Can I get your number?”
You stared at the message, he wanted your number. Your thumbs were typing but were shaking so bad, all this kinds of emotions can’t be good for you.
“Of course!” you typed and then wrote down your number to him. You hit send and bit nervously on your nails. Not long after you got a message from an unknown number.
Hey is this (Y/N)?
Yes is it! Corpse?
Oh thank god! I was nervous I had typed in it wrong and were messaging some weirdo.
You smiled at the two of you continued your conversations throughout the evening.
Some days later it was Wednesday and you had one of your exams. You were a little bit nervous but not a lot. You had tried your best to study, even with obvious distractions, and you had got some informations in your brain.
Wish me luck on my exam! you send to Corpse, knowing fully that he was sleeping, it was early in the morning, or perhaps he hasn’t even gone to bed yet. Yoy got a ding on your phone.
Good luck (Y/N), not that you need it you are a smart girl. But I know that you are going to kill it 🖤
The heart in the end made your heart jump.
How am I suppose to consentrate when he sends me stuff like that?
The exam went like a dream, you knew all the answers to all the questions and it went by fast. You felt pleased with yourself and looked at the clock and it was just before noon. Corpse livestream had just begun!
If I grab a quick lunch I can get home before it is over! you thought to yourself and walked as fast as you could towards the school cafeteria and then straight home.
You made it just in the middle of the stream, they were playing Among Us and Corpse were super nervous. You felt bad for him because you knew that he was great at the game. He didn’t have to be so hard on himself. An idea popped up in your head. You donated 10$ to his stream and wrote:
“You are doing great Corpse and my exam went great ;) much love (Y/N)”
Now you were just waiting to see if he will notice the message.
Corpse POV.
My hands were shaking so bad, more than usual. It was normal for me to be nervous before and during a stream but today my nerves were going crazy. I was making rookie mistakes as a impostor, like wtf I am supposed to be the number one impostor here.
Fuck I wish my hands would stop shaking so bad, why am I so nervous? Well I knew the answer to the question but I didn’t want to admit it to myself. (Y/N) wasn’t here watch and it sucked so bad. I felt lonely and anxious. I looked over at the chat and was that I had recieved a donation with a message.
“”You are doing great Corpse and my exam went great ;) much love (Y/N)” Why thank you-... Wait a minute, (Y/N)?” my voiced cracked at the end of the sentence and I am sure someone caughed up with my surprised and overly excited tone. I took up my phone and texted her fast.
Please tell me that was you who wrote that.
I waited and I saw the three dots going of, not helping with my anxiety one bit.
Yes it was me, I finished much earlier with my exam than I anticipated, so I hurried home to see your stream.
My heart became all warm over her message and I didn’t even notice that I had held my breath before I let out a huge sigh. She hurried home to watch me. My hands were shaking but not over my nervousness, but from excitement and, i don’t know happiness maybe. Three dots appeared again on the screen.
I couldn’t leave you alone when I know how nervous you get when you’re streaming.
Fuck... That sentence made me fall over the edge, if I haven’t already. I am falling for (Y/N) and I haven’t even met her...
Yet.
A/N: Upon many requests, here is part two! It made me so happy to see all the comments on my first oneshot and how well recieved it got. Thank you all so freaking much! :D

Queerbaiting and Buddie
(word count: 1,900)
I keep saying that I don’t want to spend any more time on 9-1-1 meta or fic, but the events of this weekend made me open up a document where I had some unfinished meta and in light of the S4 finale airing tonight, I thought I might at least write this:
“Queerbaiting is a marketing technique for fiction and entertainment in which creators hint at, but then do not actually depict, same-sex romance or other LGBTQ representation. They do so to attract a queer or straight ally audience with the suggestion of relationships or characters that appeal to them, while at the same time attempting to avoid alienating other consumers.”
That is how Wikipedia defines queerbaiting. And I really feel like everyone needs to read that and then read it again and realize that what is happening on 9-1-1 with Buddie is NOT queerbaiting.
I don’t want to go into the long history of queerbaiting because we would be here all day and anyone that wants to do some research should go and do so. There are a lot of resources out there. Use them.
But the short of it is this: queerbaiting has a lot more to do with the way a show is promoted, with the way that anyone involved in the show talks about a queer ship, and with the show deliberately scripting scenes that hint at a relationship without any intention of following through. Expectations and wanting a queer ship to go canon and those expectations not being met do not alone equate to it being queerbaiting.
For any of us that have been around a long time there are a lot of perfect examples and if you compare Buddie to any of them, they are very different. I’ll name a few:
Merlin/Arthur
John Watson/Sherlock
Emma Swan/Regina
Derek/Stiles
Castiel/Dean Winchester (though they did go canon...barely)
Lena/Kara
Buck and Eddie do not fit into that list. Which isn’t to say that someday they could belong there, but I just do not believe that they will even if Buddie never becomes canon. And this all lies in how Buddie as a ship has been treated both on screen and off. I’ll break it down by season.
S2:
Eddie is very clearly introduced as a new character, a straight Army veteran with a disabled kid and family drama. He and Buck have immediate chemistry. We can’t deny that, or deny that from that first episode there are immediate sparks. Unintended sparks, but sparks nevertheless. And it is easy to tell that no one on the production team expected that and the story reflects that.
Yes a foundation for their friendship is formed and yet the season long story focuses on Eddie’s relationship with his estranged wife and Buck is dealing with his own growth after being left by Abby. Their friendship shines and their scenes are great but none of them suggest romance and there are actually a lot of episodes where Buck and Eddie barely interact in S2 aside from in the background or for small work related moments (this mostly happens after Shannon returns).
S2 does give us the first acknowledgement from the powers that be aka Tim Minear that they know what the fans have seen. This is why the elf scene exists, but it exists in a space where it’s a nod to the fans and not meant to do much more than that. The other moment is during the call with the livestreamer. But S2, places them completely and without question on a strong friendship.
S3:
We see a lot more conflict for Buck and Eddie in this season and we see how close and important they are to each other. Those are the two main things. That can be read as friendship easily and it’s a season where both Buck and Eddie deal with their pasts and in one way or another start to get closure while their friendship remains intact.
Yes there are some scenes that make us squint and go huh, wtf? (I’m looking at you kitchen scene), but narratively we also know that neither of these boys is ready for a real relationship with anyone, let alone each other. But we can bask in how close they are as well as how Christopher fits in into all of it.
But in S3 we are also introduced to Ana and we see the return of Abby. We also get to see that Buck and Eddie have become closer than ever and that the lawsuit only serves to highlight the importance that they both feel about having the other available to them. I’ll also quickly mention that Eddie Begins worked hard to highlight Buck’s devotion to Eddie.
S4:
Without considering the events of the finale (I am avoiding spoilers and know nothing about it or the speculation), we’ve seen Buck and Eddie both grow and get further closure on their past. This season has paralleled them well and their friendship has not faltered, they’re as close as ever.
The beginning of the season was heavily focused on Buck and we saw him grow as a person and begin to work on himself in a healthy way and we’ve seen Eddie be supportive of that.
We also have Ana to consider and her relationship with Eddie as well as the return of Taylor and yet the appearance of these women has not changed the Buck and Eddie dynamic. And I find it fascinating that Eddie beginning to date Ana, is the thing that prompted Buck to start dating. The parallels are all over the place but it is the strength of the friendship and the way they care so deeply about each other that remains whether that becomes romantic is still to be seen, but it could still go either way.
Off-screen by the end of S2, Tim Minear had already addressed Buddie by throwing in that elf scene in a wink/nudge fashion that said “I see you” and in the scene with the girl with the livestream with the comments. During S3 he tweeted about being frustrated by the fans demanding and being hostile and thinking that that would make him more likely to do what they want (I’m paraphrasing what I remember seeing). Tim has never once said that Buddie will happen or shut the door on the ship entirely, but he did say he did not want to engage in conversation about it because he doesn’t want to get into arguments with fans.
Oliver has always been enthusiastic about Buddie and has even said that he would be perfectly fine with it happening both a while ago and more recently in promo for S4. Conscious of queerbaiting and not wanting to give fans false hope, he has specifically said that he does not know if it will or won’t happen and that he wouldn’t speak on that as he’s not the one making that decision. His support for it happening does not mean he has any sway one way or the other. He’s said this a few times and even wrote a letter to the effect to make it clear to fans that the last thing he wants is to disappoint someone due to something he’s said.
All in all, it just isn’t a constructive environment for anyone working on the show to interact with fans on this topic because any time that they do, they get attacked by overly enthusiastic buddie shippers that in many ways are making everything worse.
In all of the interviews from Tim that I’ve seen, he has always been very quick to hint at what was coming up on the show in a way that at times has been misleading on purpose. The number one thing that comes to mind is early in S4 where Buck was said to get a new woman in his life. Tim absolutely made it out to seem like it was a girlfriend while knowing fully well that it was a therapist. This is an excellent example of what promoting and hinting is actually like. No one from this show has done that in regards to Buddie.
No one has gone out of their way to hint that it may happen in a way that excites the fans. And this is one of my main reasons for knowing that Buddie is not a queerbait. At no point in the life of the show so far has anyone used Buddie in a promotional way to bring in viewers. Because THAT was the whole point of queerbaiting in the past.
It was a way that some showrunners found to bring in a lot of viewers when they needed to up their numbers in order to show networks they were worth keeping around. Someone figured out that LGBTQ people wanted to see themselves represented so much so that they would tune in to anything that promised an LGBTQ character in some fashion. It was a tactic that worked well in the landscape of tv where there was so little LGBTQ content on mainstream media that anyone wanting it would latch onto anything. And then they just wouldn’t deliver on those relationships or characters. In 2021, that is not the world we live in any longer.
In today’s tv landscape there is so much to watch and so much to pick from and diversity has grown, it is celebrated. Queer characters are well represented as are queer relationships and queer stories. The times are different. A while back I was listening to a podcast (Bait: a queerbaiting podcast) and something I found interesting was how the hosts both agreed that in today’s tv landscape there is no more real queerbait and that we won’t easily find anything like the ships I mentioned above. I think I agree more with this than I expected to, because I do think that it exists in some spaces, but it definitely isn’t what it used to be. This is a good thing.
Specific to 9-1-1, this is a show that has that diversity and that isn’t afraid of tackling that diversity and giving us interesting and nuanced perspectives and stories embracing that. We have characters of color, women in positions of power, a F/F relationship, two multi-racial relationships, a disabled character, other queer characters including a M/M relationship. There is so much in this show that embraces diversity and that embraces the reality of what the world looks like. To call it queerbait is to disrespect everything else that this show is and has done and the hard storylines that have been tackled that we would not have seen on tv ten years ago.
And I get that Buddie would be another breakthrough. It would be a novel way to tell a queer story, and it would be amazing if it were to happen. The set up is there, but it isn’t fully realized, and Buck and Eddie can still be read as just friends if we take off the shipping goggles. But it also isn’t queerbait or likely to become queerbait and people have to stop calling it that.
What Buddie resembles is one of the many unintended slow burn ships that have frustrated viewers in many forms across fandoms and we just have to go along for the ride and maybe it will happen. Or maybe it won’t. But if we know anything about relationships on tv, it is that a lot of the fun comes from the journey, even if the destination is good too.
