(/¯◡ ‿ ◡)/¯ ~ ┻━┻............乁༼☯‿☯✿༽ㄏ
You gasp
"what is happening here" you watch with your favourite sketch book burning.
"ohhh dear dear, my hand slipped" you heard a very annoying voice.
You silently pick your half burnt sketch book and glare at the bunch of dumb heads who bully you.
Bulling wasn't new for you. You were bullied all along your school life. Even now in your workplace.
And suddenly one day you found yourself not wanting to go to work. You were tired of fighting with the bullies, after a week of thinking about your detroiting mental health you decided to give your resignation letter and live your life.
3 months later
The bells jingle indicating above your head as your enter your safe place, the art shop. The smell of panits and canvas lingering in the air.
You took everything you needed but the last thing that was missing was red paint. You went to the paint corner to find a single tube of big red paint lying on the top shelf.
You run towards the shelf trying to reach the tube, you felt warmth on your back and a very veiny hand reaching the tube. You turn to see a tall man with his face covered by hoodie. All you could see was looming dark shadow.
"umm can I take that" you muttered pointing out the red tube.
The hooded man took a sharp breath which sacred you thinking that you could have made him angry
"ummm, I'm sorry. It's okay, it's okay I'll find the paint in another store" I laughed akwardly.
He suddenly held my hand and handed me the tube.
I tilt my head "can I take it?" I question softly
He nods his head once and that was enough to make me smile for once in last three months.
I bowed, thanking him and left the shop after billing.
Heeseung
He watches you walking to your apartment. Heeseung quickly reach to his room and watching you through the window, exactly opposite of your apartment He watchs you twirl around in your space happily.
That's all heeseung has done.
Watch.
All he has done is watching you from afar. He wishes to kiss you, hold you into his arms, cook for you, buy you paint and watch you paint for hours. But all he has done is watch you from afar.
*distant muffling sounds*
"ahh" he sighs. "I totally forgot about you" he turns around and pulls out a sword hanging on the wall. He unsheaths the sword and the dried blood covering the entire sword.
He watches the girls who bullied you tied up with their mouth stiched witch thick red wire. Blood flowing from their mouths as they cry.
"let's see.... What do i add in my collection now...." He swirls the sword.
"your blood" heeseung laughs like a maniac after killing the three girls.
He collects the blood in a long tube.
As he walks to the window blood pooling in his room. He orders the men standing beside the door to clean and dispose the bodies
He closes the cap and watches you paint the canvas red from his window.
"maybe I'll gift it to you someday. My little one."
Idk how to actually feel about this. I'm still thinking about what twist to make in this series.
A new day a new me 😂
I hope you all like this.
Fuck I'm so nervous.
Thank you for you all anons for comforting me. I hope to live a long life.
Thank you and love you 🎀🪐

Origins
Luna Tabris
Rogue (Ranger/Bard), Hero of Ferelden and world's most reluctant Grey Warden. Friends with pretty much everyone, Alistair’s surrogate big sister in particular. Romanced Zevran and Morrigan. She would have been perfectly happy to get married and never leave the alienage until she got Double Kidnapped, at which point the Blight is the only thing stopping her dismantling Ferelden's political system like a kea dismantles a car. Chaotically bisexual cis woman
Reluctant heroine of The Kick Inside
Songs include: Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood, by St Vincent | Salad by Blondshell | The Calling, by The Amazing Devil
Melia Surana
Less reluctant Grey Warden, baby blood mage with the personality of a particularly sheltered Disney princess. Friends with Wynne and Leliana, romanced Alistair, Morrigan’s reluctant protegee. She is Trying Her Best at all times. Bisexual, possibly non-binary but doesn't have time to think about it
Songs include: Ribs, by the Crane Wives | When The Chips Are Down, from Hadestown | Cardigan, by Taylor Swift
DA2
Rhiannon Hawke
A blue/purple bi disaster rogue who should have been at the club or possibly a popstar, but is instead experiencing The Horrors. Romanced Anders, Justice, and Isabela, her closest friends are Bethany and Varric, Aveline is her long-suffering older sister figure. Bisexual cis woman.
Reluctant heroine of Merry Solstice (Please Don't Call)
Songs include: This Is Me Trying, by Taylor Swift | I Never Loved You, by Halsey | She Used To Be Mine, by Sara Bareilles
Inquisition
Rheyah Adaar
Tal-Vashoth Spirit Mage born into the Kirkwall Qunari enclave (it was rough). Trying Her Best because if she ever stops trying her best she is pretty sure someone is going to kill her. Truly the Herald nobody wanted, and usually not even the Inquisitor in my head. Potential romances in my head include Cassandra, Cole, and Vivienne (or Iron Bull if you like them toxic and weird). Friends with Dorian, Solas, Sera, and Varric despite the high chance he killed some of her parents. Best friends with @adainesjacket's Seong Trevelyan, who is the Inquisitor to her Herald. Non-binary but in a Qunari Genderweird way
Songs include: You’re On Your Own Kid, by Taylor Swift | My Silver Lining, by First Aid Kit | Before the Eyes of Storytelling Girls, by Anais Mitchell
Veilguard (incomplete)
Cara 'Rook' Hawke-Laidir
The Justhanders Oops Baby, a nepo-baby Lord of Fortune mage, and all around the Worst Possible Protagonist. Is only called Rook bc she begged Varric not to call her Princess at work. So far she is friends with everyone, flirting with everyone, and I have no idea who she is going to end up with given how terrible she is (affectionate). Is born during DA2 so knows literally everyone, which only makes her worse. I do not expect anyone to care about her but I think she is fun.
Songs include: Primadonna, by MARINA | Daddy's Girl, by Natalia Kills | Never Love An Anchor, by the Crane Wives

Thanks Sandra! for your insight (+ for including the pics/video) on the question on mgk + a future out of the industry woman. Also thank you to the anon who "chimed" in as you put it with your input as well.
I wonder if his team, mainly Ashleigh (sorry if spelled wrong!) and maybe Slim have any weight/say in who he dates? Perhaps for non-famous girls, I'm sure Ash would vet a girl for him. I saw an oldddddd tweet from him that said something like a girl has to go through Ash to get to him, I believe before he was big. But he was so young, maybe by now Ash is just like, he's a grown man etc. etc. I would hope by now after Megan he knows what to look out for in a woman so he doesn't get used again but only time will tell.
This is silly buy I read a fan fic story maybe a year ago called: She's A Baddie and he meets a female rapper and becomes smitten. I would love to see him with a female rapper romantically in real life. That would be so cool. He dated a pop/rock girl Halsey, he could date a rapper chick too. Well that's the type of girl in he industry I'd like to see him paired with any day over another Megan Fox! But if his next girl has Sandra as you said an aura through her craft or isn't famous or trying to be, that would be super refreshing!
I used to want him to date Justina Valentine bad after I saw them together on wild and out. The way he looked at her while riding the bull made me fan girl so hard.
But I think ash has resigned from being the group gatekeeper. Everyone is well into their 30s and some of them even have children, I think she lets them date who they want without a fuss. Plus she has her own kid and family now, no time to scold grown men on who they choose to date.

A very small ask. Just to satisfy my curiosity. In Simpson's chapter, an Admiral Halsey pops up very briefly. Is this a nod to "Bull" Halsey or just random dude with random name?
Both.
Also a reference to one of my most favorite Ice/Mav/Bradley songs which is "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" by Paul & Linda McCartney. And I believe THAT song is a reference to Bull Halsey.
but jeez Louise it's the most Uncle Ice/Admiral Kazansky song ever...
#this song post pulling rooster's papers. ugh oof ouch mm#uncle ice! uncle Albert! admiral Halsey! admiral Kazansky! good grief its perfect#in my WWGATTAI playlist this is the song that plays when uncle ice is INVITING rooster to his compacflt promotion ceremony#which is why admiral halsey is at ice's promotion ceremony.#many of my story choices are based on my playlist#edts notes

dua lipa. she/her. cis woman. ›spotted at the met steps , katia gashi , most likely listening to lilith by halsey with their airpods pro . the twenty-four year old gained quite a reputation , known to be -hedonistic yet +alluring to anyone who knows them . you'll easily spot them when you hear about the popping of champagne, forgetting the names of those who’ve spent the night, dancing until 4 a.m. under neon lights, having every head turn to look at you when you walk into a room, and glitter being a part of a fashion signature , followed by mmmm… by juliette has a gun . latest nepoupdates article talks about her parents cut her off following the leak of the video , but i guess any reputation is good reputation . ( ellie , 26 , she/her , est . )

“Typhoon Cobra” December 17, 1944
Flight deck of the escort carrier USS Anzio (CVE-57) during Typhoon Cobra. Increasing winds cause heavy roll as the ship strives to maintain course and speed, 17 December 1944. Note TBM-1C Avenger heavily lashed to the flight deck.
(and later - the same Avenger damaged aboard USS Anzio, the plane is in a catwalk after breaking its moorings, photographed on 18 December 1944.)
Typhoon Cobra, also known as the Typhoon of 1944 or Halsey's Typhoon (named after Admiral William 'Bull' Halsey), was the United States Navy designation for a powerful tropical cyclone that struck the United States Pacific Fleet in December 1944, during World War II.
Task Force 38 (TF 38) had been operating about 300 mi (260 nmi; 480 km) east of Luzon in the Philippine Sea, conducting air raids against Japanese airfields in the Philippines. The fleet was attempting to refuel its ships, in particular the lighter destroyers, which had small fuel tanks. As the weather worsened, it became increasingly difficult to refuel, and the attempts had to be discontinued. Despite warning signs of worsening conditions, the ships remained on station. Worse, the information given to Halsey about the location and direction of the typhoon was inaccurate. On December 17, Halsey unwittingly sailed the Third Fleet into the centre of the typhoon.
Because of 100 mph (87 kn; 45 m/s; 160 km/h) winds, high seas, and torrential rain, three destroyers capsized and sank with 790 lives lost. Nine other warships were damaged, and over 100 aircraft were wrecked or washed overboard. The aircraft carrier Monterey was forced to battle a serious fire that was caused by a plane hitting a bulkhead.
