➜ Summary: It isn't hard to be a pâtisserie chef, but it's not a piece of cake either. It seems like for you in particular, life keeps throwing in one wrench after another. It always finds ways to make your sweets bitter. The cherry on top is Jeon Jungkook — a rival with a sensitive sweet tooth who always finds ways to complain about you.

Baking is an art form. It takes more than just having ingredients and following a recipe. It’s the flavour, texture, taste, and the presentation. It’s knowing why when things go wrong and how to fix it. It’s knowing the right kinds of ingredients to pick, how much of each should be combined, what techniques and methods to use. Baking is therapy. Baking is scientific. It is art.   The ingredients are as follows: 

Fresh strawberries

White chocolate sponge cake

Sugar

Butter

Eggs

You place the fresh strawberries into the refrigerator as the stand mixer whips the six large egg whites and two cups of sugar. When it's combined, you place a bowl over a double boiler on the stove and whisk until the mixture is hot. You put it on your stand mixer again until the white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream is stiff. The cubed butter and white chocolate is added shortly after until it's smooth.   Once you’ve got your components prepared, you slice the cooled white chocolate cake into two layers and set the bottom layer on a cake board on the turning cake table. You spread the meringue buttercream evenly with an offset spatula and layer the strawberries.    Afterwards, you put the other chocolate sponge cakes over it and repeat the process.   You finish the white chocolate strawberry swirl cake with white chocolate strawberries on top for decorative purposes and pipe flowers with a twelve inch piping bag.   “It looks fucking incredible.”   Jungkook leans over the counter, peering at the frosted cake you’ve just made.   “It was supposed to be white chocolate raspberry swirl, but I know you like strawberries, so….”   The boy grins, a wide smile that makes his big nose scrunch. “I love it.”   You burst out into giggles. “You haven’t even taken a bite yet!”   Jungkook begins slicing the cake. You’re proud of what you’ve made — but it’s kind of sad at the same time. This is the final product of your portfolio before it's ready for submission. You’re glad it’s over, but it also means your journey here is ending.   It’s November now. And it’s been one whole year since your relationship with Jungkook shifted.    A year ago — when the internship posting went up and you found out he was going to be your partner over the summer. When you were made his exam partner in your fine pastries class. When that Friday night happened and you bursted out crying in the kitchen, and he comforted you to no avail despite it being a cold night where the air bit his skin and turned his cheeks rosy. Where he bought you grape soda for no reason whatsoever other than a poor attempt at trying to make things better.   It seems like it was so long ago, but it’s only been three hundred and sixty days.   It makes you wonder what will happen a year from now or two or ten.   “Not too sweet?”   You watch your boyfriend’s expression carefully. Jeon Jungkook has his brows deeply furrowed with a thoughtful expression like he’s trying to give honest output. His fork is cleaned empty and it lowers to grab another bite.    “It’s perfect.” He melts into a smile. “Maybe you made my sugar tolerance go up.”   “Maybe because I improved.” You loll your head to the side, challenging him. “It’s almost as good as your chocolate-covered strawberry cupcakes, huh?”   Jungkook scoffs lightly. “I wouldn’t go that far, babe, but we can all dream.”   You sulk. “I’ll find out that recipe one day, Jeon. You mark my words and when I do, I’ll profit off of it.”   He laughs, the sound tickling and boyish, causing another smile to rise onto your features. Jungkook digs in, having yet another bite and he lets his teeth rot with the sweetness.    It’s not long before he remembers something, strides away with a hum and returns with a cold tray. “What is it?” you ask curiously as he sets it down and removes the saran wrap.   “It’s truffles. I made it in my art of chocolate class, but it’s an original recipe. Give it a try.”   He pushes the tray towards you and you don’t hesitate to grab a chocolate truffle. You would never, on any planet, deny the opportunity of consuming chocolate, especially when it’s made by Jeon Jungkook. You’ve never said it out loud before, but for some reason he always makes the best.   No grocery brand or chocolatier can beat what he often bakes for you.   So you try not to devour the truffle all in one bite, opting to relish and savour it. You take half of the truffle into your mouth and chew with the same consideration he had for you. And you’re surprised as the deep flavour melts on your palate. “Coffee?”    Your brows furrow and you lick your lips. “Did you put black coffee into it?”   “I was inspired by a memory,” Jungkook says with a soft smile. “What do you think?”   “I love it,” you exhale in awe, finishing the bite and licking your fingers.    It tastes kind of bitter, but it has a sweet note at the end.    It’s bittersweet. But mostly ends up sweet.

Life with Jungkook continues. Lectures and workshops become more hectic the closer the end comes, but in between classes and late nights spent in the kitchens next to ovens, you and Jungkook still find plenty of time with one another. Or at least enough that you still have your dumb debates and have your hour of snuggling — which Jungkook regularly falls asleep during.   The honeymoon phase of your relationship eventually fades away, but luckily it molds into a comfortable pattern that neither of you mind whatsoever. There are still knowing gazes shared across busy rooms, his hand that often comes on your lower back that you find security in, tender kisses shared when the two of you greet each other and bid temporary farewells.    You still love Jungkook very much and you don’t ever find yourself afraid of him leaving you abruptly.    Your relationship becomes normal too, so Yoongi and Taehyung has little to tease you both about. They instead relish in bullying Jimin when he ends up going out with a coworker of his at his new part-time job, much to the shorter man’s dismay.   Hoseok, on the other hand, while no longer in a relationship, finds an interest in teaching and starts to look into what it would take to become an instructor. You’re happy for him and so is Aeri who tells you she’s considering going abroad someday to expand her culinary skills and cook more international cuisine. She keeps herself preoccupied by improving herself and becomes someone worthy of your admiration.   But for the most part, things remain consistent and constant. There’s still bickering over lunchtimes and dinner times across the cafeteria table. Still nights of crashing Yoongi and Hoseok’s apartment and playing games. The five of you also start playing Dungeons and Dragons much to Taehyung’s delight who becomes the dungeon master — and while Yoongi always says he wants to stab himself halfway through every session, you’re sure he enjoys it as much as everyone else does.   The memories made are ones you cherish the most.   And before you know it, graduation has come.   “You look beautiful, dear,” Jungkook’s mom holds back tears as she grasps your hands tightly. “Congratulations.”   “Thank you.”   “Come on, you two!” His dad suddenly calls, holding an old camera up to his chin. “Let’s take some photos to remember the occasion!”   One hand holds your rolled certificate and the other holds your navy gown, you stand in front of the school sign with Jungkook who adjusts his black cap. He drapes his arm over your shoulder and the both of you tilt your heads towards each other and give the biggest grins.   The camera flashes. Again and again.   The corner of your mouth starts moving as your smile twitches. “How many is he taking?”   “Just smile,” Jungkook mutters through his grin as both his parents, his aunt and uncle, Lia and Eunbi, and grandma look on proudly. “He’ll do more if you try to argue.”   “Two more!” His dad shouts, despite taking another five.   His entire family seems so elated that your heart swells with endearment.   “I didn’t know your family would be so happy when you told them we were dating,” you murmur, switching your poses a bit. “You know, your grandma just asked me when we’re getting married.”   “Really?” He glances at you and then scoffs with another smile that’s more genuine. “Be lucky she has half a mind not to start asking when we’re having kids. Unless…...”   “I swear to god, Jungkook, if you get down on your knee in the middle of our graduation with everyone watching, I’m going to kick you in your shin.”   He giggles, nose scrunched, eyes crinkled.    It’s not long before Jungkook’s mother drags over Jimin overbearingly by the hand with Taehyung, Hoseok, and Yoongi for a group photo. There’re so many parents, family members, and phones and cameras being passed around that your plastered smile starts to break on your face. Everyone’s mother and their goddamn cousin’s cousin wants three copies of the same exact picture.   “Oh my god, kill me now,” Yoongi groans but still has that dumb fucking grin on his face. He looks more like a kid showing off his braces or a grandpa who has his dentures stuck.   You think he’s putting on that idiotic grin just to ruin the pictures — even his mom is yelling about it on the sidelines.   “Just a few more,” Jimin whispers with more perseverance than anyone else has.   “Who is even taking our picture, right now?” Hoseok asks, his brows furrowing. “Does anyone even know who that lady is?”   “I think she’s the associate dean’s assistant who’s going to put it on the website.” Taehyung breathes out, his cheeks aching from his smile. “Either that or that’s my cousin’s brother-in-law’s younger sister’s friend.”   “Alright, that’s enough.” Yoongi gives up and walks out of the frame. Everyone starts dispersing before there are protests and they’re rounded up for another pointless photo session.    But after a while, you’re granted some freedom to roam around with Jungkook. There’s still a few more photos taken, ones with Aeri and classmates and teachers, like Miss. Kang, who you always liked.    “I always knew the two of you could be close.” The female teacher has the cheesiest smile and you have to admit, you’re glad she never changed Jungkook’s internship like he wanted. In a way she’s like your matchmaker, but you’ll never say it out loud in case you give her more credit than it’s due. She already seems to know it anyway. “Good luck on your future journeys. You both have great potential.”   Namjoon and Sejeong also show up to congratulate the pair of you as well. And they meet Jungkook’s family who seems to adore the couple straight away, asking plenty of questions of what their shop is like and if their son was in any way helpful.   But while you’d like to stick around to hear all the conversations, it’s nice to take a break from the bustle to just walk on the paths that you used to take all the time with Jungkook.   You don’t know what it’s going to be like when you leave this place.   “Aren’t you kind of sad?” Your hand squeezes Jungkook’s and you turn to look at him.   “Yeah,” he admits. “But I’m also happy we don’t have to submit projects or do exams anymore. I’ll miss the routine. Of being able to hang out with the guys and eat with them all the time. But they’ll still be around and I have you.”   Jungkook’s gaze meets yours. His eyes are tender, soft.   You smile at him. That’s right — this chapter might be ending, but you’ll still have many more with him.   “Y/N!” There’s a call of your name and you turn to see your family waving at a distance. Your mom holds a flower bouquet, most likely for you and your cheeks swell with a smile.   Your arm extended in the air to wave back and your steps quicken with Jungkook’s to meet them.

A lot happens after graduation.   There are many changes and alterations. While you’ll still always be learning until the end of time, you’re no longer an official student and you’re thrown to the hounds called the real world.   But it’s not all that bad.   You get hired back at Kim’s Wedding Cake Company and work with Soohyun who’s returned from maternity leave. Yuna also sometimes joins during the weekends and much to your delight, she tells you that she’s enrolled in the institution as she had wanted. You can only imagine what kind of knowledge she’ll gain and stories she’ll end up having there like you did. But there’s not a lot of time to reminisce when there’s work and a ton to learn, but you find yourself enjoying it more than finding it difficult.   Jungkook, on the other hand, doesn’t return to the company. He instead gets hired at a chocolatier shop not far from where you work. It’s only a ten minute walk down the block; five for each of you when you meet halfway like you frequently do for lunch.   He tells you that he’s learning a lot, on what it takes in the artistry of chocolate, that there’s more meticulousness than what meets the eye. It sounds like an absolute nightmare to you, but he loves it — especially on the days when he smells sweet and there’s some chocolate smeared on his cheeks. And you don’t hate that he often brings you home truffles and caramels to try.   The two of you also move in with each other, sharing an old apartment not far from your workplaces. It’s not much different from how you used to live on campus at different dorms, except now there are bills to be paid and Jungkook steals all the hot water in the shower.   You wonder if this is what it feels like to be an adult.   “Y/N?”   There’s a familiar voice, but one you haven’t heard in ages. A smooth timbre that sounds light and humorous at the corners. You whirl around, regarding the tall man with dark hair, dressed in a dark turtleneck and a black trench coat. His sheepish eyes crinkle in his smile, lips pink and plush.   “Jin?” A grin spreads into your face as well. “Oh my god! How are you? It’s been so long! What are you doing here?”   “I live here, remember,” he reminds in the midst of squeaky giggles. “And I’m good. I’m actually on my way to a meeting. I’m working in management of Toute Pastries and Pâtisseries.”   “Wow, working in commercial bakeries? That’s impressive.”    But you’re not exactly surprised. You knew Seokjin always had it in him and you feel proud that someone you used to know has become so great.   Seokjin laughs. “Not really. It’s kind of less hands-off than I’d like, but what about you?”   “I’m good too. Just heading to my friend’s bakery.” You hitch a thumb over your shoulder. “Today’s the opening. Do you want to come?”   “I’d love to, but the meeting starts in twenty. I saw the sign the other day though. The bakery is that place that was being renovated on Imlingss Avenue, right?”   “Yeah. It’s next to the department store.”   “I’ll swing by when I have some time then.”   “When you have some time?” You eye him playfully and cross your arms. It might be inappropriate to be so sarcastic with an acquaintance, but being with Jungkook has made you more snarky than is probably socially acceptable. “So you’re a hot shot, now, aren’t you?”   Luckily, Jin doesn’t take offence and simply laughs. “I swear I’m not!”   It’s good to see him. You thought you never would again, at least not face-to-face like this. But what you least expected was that your conversations could be so light and natural. It isn’t difficult at all and you don’t find yourself uncomfortable nor holding any resentments. You aren’t sad or angry.   It’s like seeing an old friend again.   “I heard you were with Jungkook,” Jin says with the corner of his mouth quirked. “That’s a surprise.”   “Isn’t it?” Whenever Jungkook used to come up in a conversation, all you ever said to Seokjin was how trash he was. But that was before you really knew anything about him. “But he’s great. An idiot sometimes. But it’s great.”   Jin can see the happiness radiating off your face and it’s infectious. “I’m happy for you, Y/N.”   He says it sincerely, genuinely, and your smile widens. “Thanks.”   The both of you share a little more small talk before you’re on your way. And once farewells are said and done, you don’t look back or peek over your shoulder for another glance at him.    You’re content continuing straight forward.   “Sorry, I’m late.” The door chimes as it slowly shuts after you, the warm furnace heating the air and melting off the coldness of your skin.    “Of course you’d be late.” Yoongi is in his black apron, white shirt rolled up to his elbows and his arms crossed. “We already took the photos, don’t expect that we’ll re-take them.”   “A joy as always, Yoongi.” You smile at him, taking off your jacket and putting it on the coat rack at the corner. Jimin comes to greet you and you sigh softly. “Why’d you ever agree to open a bakery with him, Chim? You must be a saint to deal with his shit all the time.”   “I heard that.”   Jimin laughs. “Trust me, he kept on asking Jungkook when you would come. He’s all bark but no bite,” he whispers but it’s loud enough that Yoongi looks sorely unimpressed.   The shop is cute and spacious. It’s rather modern with square tables and chairs lining the walls. The lights come from the sides of the fancy ceiling, and there’s a counter to check out at with a main glass case where people can choose pastries from. In the corner, there’s also several smaller pastry display cases where patrons can grab trays, tongs and fill up their own plates.    You quickly greet everybody and then move to grab your one prized possession.    “Lemon meringue pie?” Taehyung laughs, watching you put two on your plate.   “You know I just have to.” You smile and sit at one of the tables, luckily having it on the house. Taehyung sits across from you. “Man, you’re so nice to let Yoongi have the entire recipe since it’s yours too.”   He shrugs. “It wasn’t like I had any plans with it in the first place, plus it was Yoongi’s idea to add the secret ingredient.”   “Which is?”   Taehyung grins his infamous boxy smile. “Nice try.”   “I’ll find out one of these days,” you warn. Taehyung handed you the recipe a long time ago but he conveniently omitted the secret ingredient and you haven’t forgiven him since. “And then I’ll be making it for myself every other night instead of giving my pretty penny over to Yoongi and Jimin.”   “Yeah, good luck with that.” He leans back in the comfortable chair. “I’m sure Yoongi will be protecting that from you for the rest of his life. He might be willing to exchange information though if he can get his hands on Jungkook’s chocolate-covered strawberries.”   Taehyung wiggles his brows, but you shake your head with a sigh. “He won’t tell me. I swear he’s holding it above my head so I can never ditch him.”   The man laughs and takes a look around the new shop.   Everyone is here — Hoseok, Jimin, Yoongi, Jungkook, Taehyung, Aeri and you — the entire crew with no one else missing. There are other people as well, sponsors and Yoongi and Jimin’s other acquaintances, but you muse how hard it is these days to gather up like you used to.   Everybody was busy and on their own paths. Doing their own thing. But it’s what made moments like these more precious.   “I would’ve joined them, should���ve,” Taehyung says wistfully with a sigh. “The original plan was actually Jimin, Yoongi, and I.”   “Yeah, but you wouldn’t have been happy.” You take another bite of the pie, chewing in your cheek.   “Yeah, that’s true.”   “Do you regret it? Going back to school?”   “No.” Taehyung smiles gently. “I love learning and I knew after graduation, I wanted to keep learning. I’m not as good at cooking as I am at baking, but it’s still fun and I think I’m getting better. The only issue is Yuna.” The man visibly and dramatically shivers and it elicits laughter from you.   “Does she bother you a lot?”   “Less like bothering and more like she literally pops up wherever I go,” he tells. “Sometimes I’m just minding my own business and then boom, out of nowhere, I turn the corner and she’s there. I’m starting to think she’s like a ghost or like….like…”   “—a witch,” Jungkook finishes and then leans down to plop a kiss at the top of your head. “Hey.”   “Hey.” You smile and he leans down to steal a bite of your pie, but you don’t mind much. “You’ll never guess who I saw earlier.” Curiosity gleams in Jungkook’s eye and you grin, wanting to put him suspense for a little longer. “I’ll tell you about it later, but is everyone grabbing dinner afterwards? I haven’t checked the messages yet.”   “Yeah, we are.”   Soon, Hoseok comes over and introduces his lady-friend that he brought with him as Naul. But you know through advice he’s sought through you a few weeks back that he’s been seeing her and taking it slow.    It’s nice to finally meet someone you’ve heard about, and you find that her calm and collected personality fits into Hoseok’s quite well.   You also meet Jimin’s girlfriend who is sweet and an avid talker about all things deli meats.    At your surprise of how ham supposedly doesn’t taste as good as some other cold cuts, she insists that you and Jungkook need to have a double date with her and Jimin so she can enlighten you on the world of salamis — to which you agree needs to happen. She’s peculiar, but sweet and cute when she’s with Jimin.   “So you’re really going?” you ask after Aeri confirms it. She had told you a month ago that she applied to study abroad and you couldn’t be anything but happy. Especially now that she’s just told you that she’s been accepted, you have nothing but eagerness for her.   “Yeah, I’m a bit nervous, but I’m super excited.”   You pull the girl into a tight embrace. “I’ll miss you, but have fun and stay safe. Stay in touch.”   “Thanks and I will, Y/N.” She giggles against you and pulls apart. “I hear Amsterdam is really nice and my aunt keeps advertising it, so I’m looking forward to it.”   “Apparently, those Dutch men are really something,” you murmur and she laughs. “You know, if I wasn’t in a happily committed relationship and with my dream job, I’d probably ask if I could come with you cause damn, they’re like a tall glass of water. You need to take advantage of that.”   “Who’s a tall glass of water?” Jungkook approaches with a sorely unimpressed expression.   It makes you go tight-lipped and Aeri giggles, slinking away before she’s caught in the crossfire.   While you and Jungkook playfully bicker in the middle of the store and he grabs you in a chokehold and you tickle him — much to the shock of the other patrons who don’t know you — Yoongi looks on behind the counter with a displeased expression.   Except that’s only his natural resting bitch face and not what he thinks internally.   Or at least that’s what Jimin realizes when Yoongi says to him privately— “They’re a pretty good match, huh? Jungkook and Y/N.”   “Yeah.” Jimin smiles, watching the two of you act like children. “They are.”   It’s sad when the opening event eventually ends. The night comes and dinner is soon over too. Everyone ultimately says their farewells, waving before they go off on their own way and you linger just a moment until everyone’s gone. It’s nostalgic to be around them, reminding you of days that seemed simpler and easier, and when you were unaware of these facts.   It’s sad to say goodbye since you don’t know when you’ll see all of them again. At one place. At one time. But at least you have Jungkook with you, so you’re far from being alone.   “Don’t worry,” Jungkook jokes around, “They’ll be back for our wedding.”   “When is that going to happen?” you scoff, looking at him and how his features are illuminated under the lampposts that you pass. You squeeze his hand in yours.    “It’s a surprise,” he answers slyly.   You grin. “And what if I reject you?”   “Then I’ll be a very sad man.”   “And if we don’t work out at all?”   “Then we’ll still be best friends,” Jungkook says and interlaces his fingers with yours. “I’ll always be here for you. Because I’m lame and I think I’ll always be head over heels for you.” He smiles wide, bunny teeth revealed and features soft. “It’s a promise.”   And one you believe in.   Luckily, you and Jungkook never split.   You end up getting married two years later with Aeri as your maid of honour and Taehyung as the best man — the brunette giving you so much anxiety with his spontaneousness that you nearly wish it was Jimin who was the best man instead. But everything ends up without too many hitches or difficulties.   It’s hectic lives that you and Jungkook lead, but ones you love.   Ultimately, the pair of you get a townhouse together halfway between the suburbs and the city. You wind up running Kim’s Wedding Cake Company with Yuna many years down the line after Namjoon and Sejeong step down to retire. And Jungkook achieves his dream of becoming a chocolatier and ends up getting silver in The World Chocolate Masters competition.    The two of you have your first child together one drunken night when you both think it’s a good idea to have sex in your sacred spot — a professional kitchen. It’s the first and last time, swearing you’ll never do it again when you’re both on your hands and knees afterwards, sanitizing the entire area for fear of losing your jobs for the violation of health codes.    But you end up conceiving that night and it’s the first of many kids — rascals with sweet-tooths.   Life with Jungkook is a mundanity you could’ve only dreamed of. And you often count your blessings that you somehow ended with such a cheeky, lovable boy.

[Epilogue]   “And that’s how I met your grandmother.”   There’s a plump toddler sitting on his knee, slobbering as he babbles, and a slightly older girl sitting cross-legged in front of him on the carpet. She’s no more than five years old and blinks up at the old man with matching doe eyes.   “So a stupid man dumped grandma and then you came in and saved her?” she asks in a high-pitched voice.   “Essentially.” The old man nods and takes off his rounded spectacles to place on the small table beside his plush armchair. It’s his special seat for story time, placed under the picture frames of you and Jungkook over the decades, from your graduation to your wedding. “We were friends first and then started to date afterwards, but yes, it’s right to say I did save her.”   “Like a superhero?”   He grins and confirms, “Like a superhero. Now, do you know what the moral of the story is?”   His granddaughter shakes her head. “No. What is it?”   “The way to a person’s heart is through the stomach,” he declares with a smile. “If they like chocolate, you make sure you’re good at making chocolate. You like chocolate, right?”   “I like grandma’s cakes!” she exclaims much to his amusement.   “What nonsense are you telling her?” You’re leaning on the doorframe leading to the kitchen, sighing lightly as you shake your head with your arms crossed.   Your hair is slowly turning gray, but you’re still as attractive — if not even more so. Jungkook always mused how much more beautiful you got the more you learnt and experienced. And he likes the wrinkles around your eyes, even when you don’t. It reminds him of how many times he’s made you laugh over the years.   “Grandma!” Your granddaughter jumps up with a big grin that’s reminiscent of a bunny. She has big doe eyes that seem to sparkle in the afternoon light shedding into the cozy home. “Grandpa was just telling me how you guys met. He said he saved you. Is that true?”   “I saved him, dear.” You pat her head gently. “Without me, your grandpa would be hopeless.”   The older man at his armchair chuckles. “That is true.”   “It’s time for lunch, you three.”   You hold up your grandson and your granddaughter skips towards the kitchen.   Jungkook staggers upwards from his seat with weaker knees and muscles that feel exhausted to the bone. He’s still in rather good shape though for just turning sixty three two months ago. Even when you constantly worry about him, he can still play catch with the kids in the backyard and put them on his back without hurting it much.   When he comes into the kitchen, the two kids are in their seats and busy already digging in. His mug that says ‘Jungkook — World’s Best Chocolatier’ sits at the corner of the fruit place mat you bought at the thrift store. The letters of the mug are worn around the edges, handle chipped at the bottom, but it’s still his favourite.   But Jungkook doesn’t sit down to eat just yet.    He rounds the table and comes to the sink where you’re humming away. He leans his arms on the edge of the counter, standing right behind you and leans in as you turn your head.   Jungkook kisses your cheek. “I love you.”   You smile, the same one he fell in love with all those decades ago when you both were still young students who knew nothing about what was to come. “I love you too.”    Much to Jungkook’s contentment, you lean into him, filling his senses with your scent as you press a soft kiss to his lips. And it’s not bitter whatsoever.   It’s sweet.

YASMIN DOUGLAS—

IG info/Bio: @/imyasmin_d | 11.6k followers | hello & ahlan 🎶

23-24 years old depending on her birthday (I’m thinking too much about timelines since i know some shows aren’t live and if they filmed it prior & it’s just being shown to us now...then there’s the boat party that comes in after, you get what I’m saying right? No? Okay)

Moroccan heritage

she was born in fes along with her baba

Father works in the carpet & rug manufacturing industry and worked in his father’s business from the young age of 16

her mother is from Essaouira & has often stated that she couldn’t stand Yasmin’s father the first time they met but she wouldn’t want to travel through this life with anyone else

Her father and mother came from two different lifestyles. All he knew how to do was hard work yet he had a sarcastic but playful side to him whereas her mom came from a family that was more financially stable & she was free to do whatever! mainly hanging at the beach with her friends without a care in the world, she was privileged and a little uppity while her father’s life seemed to be planned out from the day of his birth

Yet they still fell in love and decided to leave Morocco months after they got married at 21 & 24 & not too long after they had yas they left for England

She was raised in Kent, England

The Atmosphere led to her boho lifestyle...being exposed to castles, gardens, and underground tunnels from time to time shaped her into what she felt she was meant to be. She loved her second home

they call her “yazzy”

Parents follow islam...Which Yasmin respects but is not strongly devoted to

Can speak & write in Arabic but seems to do better in writing

Her paternal grandparents fault her parents for not teaching her to excel at both & feel that if they weren’t in such a rush to leave home she would speak Arabic better

Which made Yasmin feel like shit. Her paternal grandparents were strict on keeping their customs alive whereas her maternal grandparents were carefree as long as they got to see their granddaughter alive & well that was good enough for them

Idk maybe a only child or has a older brother? I don’t feel like she comes from a big family sibling wise

her mother made her a stuffed purple sheep that she took everywhere with her as a kid & continues to keep close to her. Y’all had imaginary friends? Well Yasmin had a real friend she could see & squeeze the life out that didn’t require talking and hugging the air, but that’s fine do u

100% collects beanie babies until this day but lil yamb is the number one princess in her household

As her significant other you have to be okay with lil yamb sleeping in between y’all that’s just the way it is

These stuffed babies are her comfort when no else can be

she’s a singer/songwriter. Went to uni for it & finished a semester early

Went through multiple hell experiences when it came to interning & temping while still in school & after

Let’s just say she wasn’t down to f*ck her way to the top

this made her anxiety act up, these people made her feel like she wouldn’t be good enough to show the world her craft & it’s didn’t have to be the world, just someone who would listen

But she couldn’t give up, there was nothing else she saw herself doing. She knew this is what she was meant to do but she couldn’t lie and say that her insecurities didn’t get the best of her most days

Although the cons seemed to out way the Pros some days, she kept at it & found herself a solid team that knew what she was about and understood her soul

Was definitely the student who loved all her English classes & when she spoke up everyone found it shocking since she preferred to just write everything out rather than “participate in group discussions”

I feel like her singing voice sounds similar to Jessica mauboy’s (if you don’t know who that is & you’re a fan of r&b/pop check her out or if you’re just curious that works too lol)

Knows her music notes like the back of her hand, duh!

Fav color is royal blue, especially on her eyelids & nails

Occasionally sleeps in rollers to keep her hair wavy

Needs her space when it comes to disagreements, they stress her out & she panics a bit when things go wrong so she feels like she needs to leave the situation rather than talk it out right then and there

She’ll talk when she’s ready, she just needs someone that’s a little patient with her that’s all

Words of affirmation is her love language? When she figures out how to balance her love life with her work life that is. When she’s feeling confident she’s smooth with words but when she needs to show you how much you mean to her & she really takes the time to think it out & feel her emotions, she’s writing you a song or you’re the inspiration to it or a poem, leaving you little love notes on blue post-it’s around the house, will write 50 reasons why she loves you on Valentine’s Day, and will say so when it’s just the two of you in your own comfort

Isn’t too crazy about public displays of affection but will deff hold your hand if that’s something you or she wanted in that moment

I think she’s fluid

Hasn’t been in many relationships. Sure she goes on tour every other year and gets to meet many people but they’re not solid relationships, they’re hookups and she hasn’t done many of those either

Had maybe one or two solid relationships: a androgynous woman that uses she/they pronouns & was in a rock band & a cis male she met at a tattoo parlor his step-brother owned (he kinda favored seb but we’re not going to speak on that)

I believe she wants to get married someday but isn’t so keen on the idea of kids. The furthest she’ll go is adopting a couple of animals. She’ll be a pet mom! I feel like she’ll be anxious looking after the life of a human being when it’s extremely hard to do so not only for herself and the love of her life & you want to add kids to the mix?! Fucking hell! but that could change? Who knows what life can throw at u

Has a hedgehog named Sonia that she drops off at her parents for their weekly sleepovers

Loves lace—mostly bralettes & crotchet clothing

I see her as a corduroy girl too. She has at least some rusty brown low-rise corduroy pants or/and a jacket

owns a crotchet kit, she’s bloody good at it too

Loved pink & purple (still likes them, they’re her 2nd & 3rd fav colors) so much as a kid that she tried to dye her hair half & half while her parents went out on their date night...it was also the weekend before school pictures :)

Says she got her inspiration from starfire & raven. She was only 13 at the time & had braces. Her father approved saying she’s a kid and she should be allowed to express herself. He only said that because his own parents barely let him & his brothers have their own fun

Her mother thought it was atrocious and did her best to get it out with the help of her other hair stylists friends (her mother worked in plenty of beauty shops once she got to England, until she decided to convert their basement into her own shop) who she invited over to see what her daughter had done but when you use certain permanent dyes...

It didn’t completely damage yasmin’s hair plus it was just hair, Yasmin didn’t see the big deal. She thought she looked splendid

Anyway, massive fan of ballroom dancing

She’s got a great ear to begin with so it was extremely fun twirling around while wearing pretty ballroom gowns

Took boring etiquette classes as a form of punishment? After the whole teen Titans inspiration thing “went wrong”

Enjoys western films

yes she owns a cowgirl hat & some boots too so sue her, she likes what she likes

Knows how to lasso but hates doing it to animals but she’ll do it to you :) (*gags* lmao why???)

Also loves visiting western towns & learning some history or at least experiencing what it was like

Type of significant other that will do her best to persuade you to stay in a treehouse airbnb, a cabin, the fucking Idaho potato, or camping out in her Volkswagen van in the middle of nowhere!

Has faux cow rugs, wicker baskets, wicker chairs in her flat, hangs some plants in glass jars & bottles all over her house

Her flat is very bright & vibrant: white, mocha brown, tan, yellows, & pastel purple

When it comes to decision making, she’ll make them pretty quick but only if it comes to choosing desserts

nobody is touching her mom’s meskouta orange cake WITH syrup

the dessert eater that always picks the one that has a surprise inside, meaning it has to ooze out with SOMETHING to make it 10x more satisfying

Leaning towards Buddhism, had studied some of their beliefs and found it resonates with her spirit

Fan of neon lights, probably has a few neon signs in her flat preferably on her brick wall in the loo, “to give u comfort as you go!” “that...actually makes sense.” Tai commented as he rubbed his chin coming to terms with yasmin’s reply. While Iona scowls, “no, no it doesn’t. I feel as if it’s an invasion of my bits!” “...Sorry you feel that way.”

tai & ciaran are automatically deemed as her brothers since she came into the villa with them. She had time to connect with them unlike anyone else. It was just the way the stars wrote their story and it showed outside of the villa too. they often crash at her place all the time when they’re in town & vacation all the time together when their schedules line up + it never feels like she’s third wheeling

“TaiTower” & “BB-Ci” are their names in her phone, Tai picked his own name while the “bb” stands for “best buds” for ciaran —which is a joke since he drunkly called himself so + he loves everyone when he’s drunk

You can always count on her to belt the lyrics to a Chaka Khan, TLC, or paula abdul joint when she’s drunk lol

As for the girls? She’s close with miki 😒 they just seem to be on the same wavelength when it comes to the pressure of the media since they have some sort of fame which increased with them being on the Telly. They bond over that & from there they’ve built a solid friendship

She could also be friends with AJ too (if you didn’t get swiped from her that is lmao!) they’re sorta opposites with aj being high energy/active while Yasmin is more mellow & “mysterious” but seem to connect in different ways: their sexual indentities, insecurities/anxieties, having something to be passionate about but at the same time maybe not? She might lean towards elladine or Genevieve if she had to make a choice?

Aquarius sun + cancer moon

so she’s still 23 y’all, I got it! I can’t do math sorry

“Freddie Mercury was probably my dad in my past life.”

Can play the banjo, guitar, & oud

Participates in hot yoga weekly

If she’s not with mc in the end and continues dating around if anyone from season two: LUCAS, Kassam, Gary, Rocco, maybe Blake? I originally thought Elisa but she’s probably too much for yas let’s be honest here lol they’d be better off as friends

Omg I forgot marisol! Imagine that?! Whew!!!

Season three: maybe Lily? But what if? Me being the slightly messy bitch that I am? Something happening with her & AJ. Now that?! Would be some chaotic shit “from the outside looks of it” name the irrelevant person behind the quote...now!

I’d like to see her interact with allerga but there could be something with her & cherry. I’m thinking cherry, Yasmin, & priya would bond well but we’re not here to talk about that

Getting rid of the physical aspect I genuinely think she’d do well with marisol, Lucas, or kassam. They’d mesh well I think in a relationship

She’s a body shimmer girl for sure!

Loves silk or satin robes

she’s a shortie, 5’2 to 5’5

Is learning Spanish

Loves arcade games, come see her in pinball & Pac-Man!

Quarantine life did not change her lifestyle much, but it did slightly mess with her mental health :/

loves the fall time, feels like she can slow down some and really spend time with family and friends

I feel like she has one best friend outside of the villa & that’s good enough for her!

They met their first year in uni & been close ever since

She doesn’t speak to the temporary friends she grew up with anymore & is often confused why they feel the need to keep up with her in the media which added more annoying worries to her heart but whatever right? Keep your eyes on the horizon

celebs she finds/found attractive: Aaliyah—especially when she played in queen of the damned, Kehlani, Zazie Beetz, Fivel & Booboo Stewart, Lakeith stanfield, Leah Lewis, Sofia Carson, Ryan gosling, & Nick Jonas

She listens to: jade bird, Yebba, Elli Ingram, Wafia, Zeina, Summer walker, Tanerèlle, Mariah the scientist, Teyana Taylor, Tove Lo, lady Gaga, Ra Ra Riot, Empire of the sun, & smallpools

Anthem? Diana Gordon — Rollin’

Billboard #1s 1960

Under the cut.

Marty Robbins – “El Paso” -- January 2, 1960

Why have I heard this song a lot? It's not my parents' kind of thing, or my grandparents'. Anyway, this time the narrator is the murderer. He killed another man out of jealousy that a woman, who might not even be his woman, had a drink with the other man. It's a pretty okay old-fashioned country song, but it'd be better in Fallout: New Vegas.

Johnny Preston – “Running Bear” -- January 18, 1960

This. Thing. Is. An. Abomination. Fake tribal chants. Through the entire thing. They form the beat. And then there's a swing trumpet. And it's about a Romeo and Juliet situation, but the singer sounds like he thinks he's singing a goofy novelty song. I didn't know this song existed, and now I have to re-evaluate what I think the worst #1 is. I think this one takes the spot from "Having My Baby."

Mark Dinning – “Teen Angel” -- February 8, 1960

No, not Earth Angel, sadly. This guy's girlfriend ran to the railroad tracks to get his high school ring and got squished. He doesn't sound all that broken up about it. He doesn't sound capable of feeling any emotions, really. Very bad song.

Percy Faith – “Theme From A Summer Place“ -- February 22, 1960

It's a pretty instrumental, but a bit too gloopy for me. I looked up "A Summer Place," assuming based on the music it would be a light and frothy movie about young people in love. Uh... not really. But it ends happily. Also it has a message about not condemning young people for having sex, so that's good.

Elvis Presley – “Stuck On You” -- April 25, 1960

Though his voice sounds cartoonish to me, Elvis still feels like a breath of fresh air compared to most of what he's surrounded by. In 1960, he had more oomph than nearly anyone else on the charts. Anyway, you've heard this one. It's fine.

The Everly Brothers – “Cathy’s Clown” -- May 23, 1960

This one still got radio play on the oldies stations when I was a kid. It's got a beat, the music and beat change up, and the narrator sounds appropriately bitter after a bad break-up. I wouldn't seek it out, but I wouldn't change the station either.

Connie Francis – “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” -- June 27, 1960

Here we go, someone besides Elvis with a real spark. The narrator can't seem to leave this person who keeps cheating on her, and she sings that someday, her cheating lover will find someone they truly care for who will be untrue, and then they'll understand what she's going through. She sounds pretty happy about it. It's not Connie Francis' best song (that's "Who's Sorry Now"), but it's not at all bad.

The Hollywood Argyles – “Alley Oop” -- July 11, 1960

Oh right, I forgot for a moment, I hate 1960. This song is dumb. It knows it's dumb and revels in it, and I hate it.

Brenda Lee – “I’m Sorry” -- July 18, 1960

The narrator didn't realize it was cruel to play with other people's feelings until her own heart was broken. Possibly she was the girlfriend of the narrator of "Everybody's Somebody's Fool"? The song isn't as good though, mostly because of the spoken word section, which is cringe-inducing.

Brian Hyland’s “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” -- August 8, 1960

I can't believe I'm only up to August of this stupid, stupid year. When does Motown get here already? Ugh. Stupid, leering, creepy novelty song.

Elvis Presley’s “It’s Now Or Never” -- August 15, 1960

Good, it's Elvis again. Except this is a huge slice of fromage. Elvis was better than this. His belting is impressive, but it should be in a better song. I'm bored. Elvis was never one of my faves, but he should also never be boring. I hate this year.

Chubby Checker’s “The Twist -- September 19, 1960

THANK YOU GODS AND LITTLE FISHES. You know this song. You've danced to this song. This song is truly great. Possibly the rest of 1960 up to now had to suck so much for this song to come out.

Connie Francis – “My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own” -- September 26, 1960

Did Connie Francis ever sing about anything but heartbreak? She can't get over someone who loves her. She doesn't seem too broken up about it this time. There are lots of mariachi horns. I can't associate mariachi horns with heartbreak. It could have been a good song, but Connie Francis' total nonchalance and the mariachi horns make it pretty bad.

Larry Verne – “Mr. Custer” -- October 10, 1960

This is supposed to be funny. It's a racist novelty song that seems to hate everyone and everything. I return the sentiment. Put this one in the bin with "Little Bear." Cripes 1960 sucked.

The Drifters – “Save The Last Dance For Me” -- October 17, 1960

Okay, all of 1960 didn't suck. There were a handful of very good songs among the dreck, and this is one of them. The narrator is happy that his wife (likely) is dancing with other guys, he just wants to remind her who she's going home with. It's got a nice Latin beat, good violins, and a singer who shows actual emotion. And the emotion isn't a simplistic one; he sounds totally happy that his wife is having fun flirting and dancing with other guys. But he knows that sometimes people get swept up in the moment and make mistakes. He's cheerful, not nagging or possessive. I like it.

Brenda Lee – “I Want To Be Wanted” -- October 24, 1960

A teenage song about wanting a boyfriend who adores her. It's... okay. I would probably have identified with it hugely when I was 15. Though I would have scoffed at how dated it sounds. I'm more tolerant of how it sounds musically now. But, though I understand the sentiment, it's still pretty overwrought. I guess now that I'm middle-aged and I've got what she wants my main feeling is that she needs to calm down and live her life rather than obsessing over finding the perfect person to spend a million years with when she's still a kid.

Ray Charles – “Georgia On My Mind” -- November 14, 1960

Aah that's the stuff. What is there to say about Ray Charles' version of this song? How do you describe perfection? Moonlight through the pines. This must have been a revelation at the time. It still is.

Maurice Williams And The Zodiacs – “Stay” -- November 21, 1960

"Oh won't you staaaay." I can't listen to this song without trying to sing along, and making my throat hurt in the process, as I'm an alto and I can't reach those falsetto notes. It's a fun song and a classic. Maybe Ray Charles fumigated 1960 and now it will be good?

Elvis Presley – “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” -- November 28, 1960

Yes! Elvis was a dramatic singer, and this is a dramatic song. Like everyone with an instinct for dramatic performance, he knew that true drama is often found in quiet and contemplation. He's soft throughout, and only half-belts at the end. There's a spoken word interval, but it's the kind of song in which you've already been seduced, so it's enjoyable. Plus Elvis knows how to speak it -- no embarrassment at all. Excellent. This is the kind of song that makes me understand Elvis mania.

BEST OF 1960: "Georgia On My Mind"  WORST OF 1960: There is an embarrassment of putrescence here. At the end, it's a tie between "Running Bear" and "Mr. Custer."

[project-stormblessed]

1-50

Alrighty!

1. What color are your socks?

All of my socks are either completely black or black and gray. Lol.

2. Have you ever lied about your age? Why?

Only once when I was like, 12 or 13 making a second Youtube account lol.

3. What is something you regret in the past month?

Becoming distant and isolating myself from most of my friends. Quarantine has not been good for my mental health tbh.

4. Do you believe in love at first sight?

Honestly? Not sure. Part of me doesn’t, and part of me does. Can’t really get either part to agree one way or the other.

5. When was the last time you wrote someone a letter on paper? Definitely well over a decade ago. Honestly can’t remember.

6. How old were you when you first learned how to ride a bike? Who taught you?

I was 11 or 12, and it was my older brother Jack who taught me. He also taught me how to drive lol.

7. Do you get along with your parents? Why or why not?

We get along well enough. Now that they’re retired the house is a much calmer environment.

8. What’s your favorite season?

Spring. I love seeing everything in bloom—the colors are very pleasing to me. I love seeing lots of green, and lots of lush plantlife.

9. Do you currently like someone?

Hmm, not entirely sure about that one. I guess I don’t really have any strong feelings for anyone in particular. Maybe. 👀👀

10. Have you ever used an Ouija board?

Nope, and I don’t plan on it.

11. What’s the last song you sang?

It was a song for choir this past semester, though I don’t remember the title that well or the composer.

12. What’s your favorite scent?

Never really had a favorite scent, honestly. My sense of smell has been pretty dull/weak for as long as I can remember and I’ve never really given much thought to any favorite scent.

13. What’s your favorite urban legend?

The Roswell UFO incident of 1947. It sparked my interest in aliens and UFOs at a very young age, and is probably responsible for a good deal of my love for sci-fi.

14. What’s a bad habit that you have?

Poor self control when it comes to time management. I tend to let myself get absorbed in things.

15. What’s a strange habit that you have?

Hmm. Totally blanked and could only come up with “making noises and pretending to be a mech of some sort when moving around my house”. That’s all I got.

16. What’s the first instrument you learned to play?

Piano. I started learning at 8 years old.

17. How would you describe your ‘type’?

Y’know funny enough I’ve never really thought I had a type. However reaching my mid-twenties has made me realize that my ‘type’ is kind, compassionate, goofy, and nerdy/geeky.

18. Would you rather stay in or go out?

Depends on the company, I guess. Though, usually I prefer to stay in anyway.

19. What was the last thing you said to your mom?

“I’m taking Dax out.” When I went for a walk with my dog lol.

20. Do you want to get married someday?

Definitely didn’t used to. I’m at the point where I’d be down if my partner wanted to, though I’m not sure I’d wanna spend a shitload of money on a wedding. Guess it depends on financial status at the time and the preferences of my partner.

21. Have you ever snuck out?

Nah, though I never needed to. My parents typically let me leave house whenever I wanted to as long as I told them who I’m with and when-ish I’m going to be home.

22. Can you sing well?

I can match pitch pretty well, but I can’t produce pitch un-aided. Usually. So kinda. I’m ok at best, all things considered.

23. What’s an embarrassing thing that happened this week?

I went off on some of my friends over something kinda silly because my mental state as of late hasn’t been all that great.

24. When was the last time you went sledding?

Uhhh, definitely more than ten years ago.

25. Have you ever liked/do you like someone you know you can never be with?

You kidding me? That’s like, all of my crushes ever. Maybe that’s an exaggeration but honestly it’s certainly FELT that way each time.

26. Do people often mispronounce your name?

No, though I have known a few people throughout my life that said “Bin” rather than “Ben”. I eventually realised it was an accent thing and stopped giving a shit very early.

27. Would you like to live in another country?

Yes, actually. For no small number of reasons. I’ve always wanted to live in Italy ever since I visited when I was 15.

28. Do you like to watch ghost hunting shows?

I definitely used to. I don’t really watch tv much in general anymore, though.

29. Who was the last person you said “I love you” too?

My mom.

30. What’s something you’d like to be better at?

Social interaction. Speaking in general. I’m MUCH more articulate in writing/typing than I am speaking.

31. Have you ever stayed up with someone who was sad?

Yes, and I’m always willing to do so.

32. What was the last thing you cooked?

I helped my good friend prepare some bomb ass ramen a few months back. I guess that counts.

33. Do you think you’d make a good parent?

I’d like to think so, yeah. I would make sure my children know I’m always there for them and will support the hell out of them.

34. Do you have trouble sleeping at night?

I don’t, but my dipshit body does.

35. Where is your best friend right now?

All of them are either playing video games or asleep.

36. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Factoring in every aspect of the morning ritual, about 40 minutes. That’s if I’m going somewhere like work or school. If I’m staying home then there’s no getting ready for anything but sitting on my ass lol.

37. How late do you usually stay up at night?

Depends on the time of year/what I’m doing the next day. Right now during quarantine I average anywhere between 2am and 6am. I’m trying to fix that currently.

38. When was the last time you cried and why?

The last time I truly cried was sometime in 2015. I was listening to Breaking Benjamin’s latest album and feeling exceedingly lonely/depressed. It wasn’t a great day.

39. Have you ever won a contest?

None that I can remember, honestly.

40. Can you draw well?

Lol. No. I have very little visual artistic talent or skill.

41. Would you ever date someone you met on tumblr/the internet?

Definitely, though obviously I wouldn’t just jump right in. I’m down for long distance relationships, too. But obviously mutual trust and emotional connection would have to be established first.

42. What was the last thing you ate?

Some brownie fudge M&Ms lol.

43. Do you think you’re/you’d make a good boyfriend?

I don’t really know. Never been in a relationship so I don’t have anything go off of. On the one hand I’m super understanding, laid back, and accepting of boundaries. I just want to make sure people feel comfortable and safe around me. On the other hand I’m also forgetful and very selfish when it comes to my time. I also obviously have plenty of emotional trauma/baggage (who doesn’t?) that tends to impede how I interact with people, so. 🤷🏼‍♂️

44. Have you ever had a near death experience?

Not that I can remember, and I hope I never do. The closest I think I ever came was when I fell off a ropeless bridge into a dry riverbed at 4 years old. Got a concussion from that.

45. What do you think people think of you?

Well, my anxiety tells me I’m annoying and boring. The logical side of me tells me most people in my life enjoy my company, so I guess there’s that.

46. What is your middle name and do you like it?

Don’t feel like sharing my middle name here, but I will say I don’t dislike it. Kinda neutral.

47. Are you close with either of your parents?

Kinda. My parents were often emotionally distant/abusive to my brothers and me growing up, and it’s left me rather stunted emotionally, and generally unwilling to establish a deeper relationship with them. We’re a bit closer than we were when I was a teenager, but honestly not much.

48. Do you like yourself?

Generally speaking? No. There are parts of me I’m proud of, but honestly I often find myself wishing I was someone else. I’m far from the self-loathing I experienced when I was younger, though.

49. State five facts about your appearance—

1. I’m 6’1”-ish.

2. Definitely just a bit chubby.

3. Blue eyes.

4. Currently sporting longer hair because I haven’t had a haircut since about September.

5. I have a number of faded scars on my arms from various self inflicted/work related injuries. All of them were caused by extreme clumsiness/poor spacial awareness.

50. State five facts about your personality—

1. I’m super goofy—I make lots of weird noises and motions.

2. I tend to ramble about things I’m interested in, particularly hyper fixations.

3. I like to think I’m a pretty compassionate human being.

4. Extremely awkward, but strangely that doesn’t show because I’m apparently a social chameleon.

5. I’m an observer, but also an overthinker.

Whew, that was a lot! Thank you, friend!

Brother Knows Best Part [4/?] Tony Stark x Brother Male Reader.

Enjoy chapter four! Two new chapters in one day! Also let me know if I should add some romance to it.

Pepper and I took a seat in the conference room. She helped me sit down on one of the chairs mouthing a thank you. She made some coffee in two cups with bread in plates for each of us. When I took a look at the bread my mouth got watery at the delicious smell. My stomach growled at the smell feeling embarrassed hoping Pepper didn't hear it. 

"You should eat I supposed you haven't had any meals since you got back." Pepper spoke taking a seat in front of me. 

"Thanks, but I don't have much of an appetite, after all, that's happened, I just can't sit here and act like nothing's changed... I lost my wife against Thanos and all I have left is my son." I said taking a look through the transparent glass seeing Yuki watching television. 

Pepper followed my gazed and smiled at the sight of Yuki. "I'm sorry about what happened to your wife but you need to be strong and recover for your son. He needs you more than ever right now." 

I looked away from my son and turned my attention back to Pepper. " I know but i'm also worried about finding Tony. The only thing I know from Bruce is about him fighting against Thanos henchmen with the help of the wizard called Doctor Strange. We don't know if he survived the snap or if he turned into dust like everyone did. But I have a feeling inside me that Tony is alive. The only problem is how will he get back if they ended up fighting in space." I said taking a sip from my coffee mug avoiding her gaze. 

"Tony wasn't supposed to go and fight he said No more surprises. We’re gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you. But, he broke his promise." Pepper said with a sad tone. 

"There's something I need to tell you. Before waking up right now I had a strange dream and in that dream, I saw you with Tony and a little girl that looked a lot like you both." 

"It's funny Tony said the same thing before he went off to fight. About having a kid but he said it was a boy who we named him after my uncle Morgan but I told him it wouldn't happen unless he took off the arc reactor. " 

"Arc reactor what's that?" I asked confused now getting all of my attention. 

"It's a chest piece essential that keeps the shrapnel, or fragments, from killing Tony by entering his heart. Tony was attacked after a military missile presentation and was taken away by terrorist. They wanted him to create weapons for them. But due to the blast near him, he got metal scraps inside his body which could have potential risk his life entering his heart and killing him. Thankfully a doctor who was with him saved his life and put the arc reactor so the pieces of metal wouldn't go to his heart." I slammed my fist on the table in anger. 

"How could I had let something like that happen to him! It's all my fault for walking out on him when he needed me to most. All of it is my fault all, the pain he's gone through every stitch and bruise he's received is all my fault." I ran my hands through my hair pulling it in anger shaking my head. "I should have being there to protect him from harm's way it should have been me who should have gone through all that not him.....How did he tell you about me." I asked her. 

Pepper looked down."One night after a party Tony was drunk enough that he ended up saying nonsense and one of the things he said was how he missed his older brother. I didn't believe him at first especially when he's drunk I didn't think much about it until he took out a picture from inside his room and showed it to me." 

"Did he....... ever tell you the relationship or reason why I left him at such a young age." I asked in a low tone not wanting to know the answer. "Actually don't answer that I don't want to know." I stood up from the chair. "I'm sorry but I'll be in my room thank you for the coffee and bread." I said before walking out of the room. 

_____________________________

After that night Pepper continued to come to visit the team every day in hopes of knowing Tony's whereabouts. She spent time with Yuki knowing that we had become family and should know he has an aunt. Steve was the one in charge of cooking while Thor stayed most of the time in his room I would bring him food and make small talk. I had apologized to him for snapping the day after the battle against Thanos. Thor accepted my apology and became good friends. Rhodey and Bruce spent their days as normal as they could but I knew inside they were just pretending for Yuki's sake. Natasha was always with my son playing with him and teaching him how to speak more english while I also continued to teach him Japanese so he would forget neither language. The bond between the team and I became great despite me not knowing them for too long. We all tried to do normal things but there were days where the sun wouldn't come out and the sky stayed dark and gloomy making the atmosphere feel suffocating. There have been days where Yuki has asked me about Aiko but I tried to change the conversation. It's just too painful for me to talk about her I know someday he's going to grow up and ask more of her frequently but I wasn't ready yet. Every night I would stare at the ultrasound of the baby and the picture of Aiko when Yuki would fall asleep. Pepper and I became close with each other and got along just fine. I would ask her to tell me stories about Tony's adventures and all the robots and inventions he's created. 

Counting today it's been at least twenty-three days since the snap happened and it was going to finally be the day that I got to see someone again. It was already past eight at night when Steve and I were in the bathroom together shaving our beards when suddenly it began to shake. We immediately put our shoes on and I ran for Yuki who was inside the bedroom half awake and feeling scared. The moment I opened the door Yuki came running into my arms. I picked him up planting a kiss on his cheek. "Papa i'm scared." He said on the verge of crying. I ruffled his hair and walked over to get his shoes. 

"Everything is fine we need to go outside with everyone alright." I said putting his shoes on. Afterwards, I grabbed a clean shirt put it on and a pair of shoes before taking him in my arms out of the bedroom. I caught up after Bruce and Rhodey going outside the compound. Pepper and Steve where a few feet away from us and we all watched in awe as a spaceship being carried by a woman with blond hair glowing and slowly landed in front of us. The spaceship soon opened revealing a woman in blue helping out "Tony." I whispered. Steve went over to help Tony walk. "I couldn't stop him." 

"Neither could I." I heard a bit of their conversation walking our way. "I lost the kid." Tony said. I looked confused what kid did they have a son or daughter I thought. "Is ummm...." Pepper ran passed us and embraced each other. "It's okay." Pepper broke the hug then looked my way to Yuki and I. Tony followed Pepper's gaze making contact with each other. 

Seeing his bad appearance with an unshaved face and thin figure he slowly walked our way so I handed Yuki to Rhodey. I took small steps towards him embracing him into a hug. I placed my hand on his head smelling his body scent. Tony hesitate but returned the hug. I had tears coming down my cheeks but the hug didn't last long before something inside Tony snapped pulling away from me sending glares before walking pass me with Pepper's help. Everyone stood silent and followed behind them. Steve looked my way placing a hand on my shoulder before making our way back inside. 

I had taken a sleepy Yuki back to the bedroom and laid him down carefully and slowly on the bed. I pull the blankets over his small body before heading back to the living room. 

"It's been 23 days since Thanos came to Earth." Rhodey informed. 

"World governments are in pieces. The parts that are still working are trying to take a census. And it looks like he did... he did exactly what he said he was gonna do. Thanos wiped out fifty percent, of all living creatures." Natasha answered. 

"Where is he now? Where?" I walked in looking around to see holograms of all the people who disappeared including Sam, T'challa, Shuri and Wanda even Fury. I also saw a raccoon and the blue woman from earlier sitting down. Thor along with the one who brought Tony back was here too. Tony sat down on a chair with a hospital pole that had blood entering his system for healing and wore a robe. And I finally saw the arc reactor in the middle of his chest.

"We don't know. He just opened a portal and walked through." I said walking over. Tony looked my way. "What are you doing here I don't want to see you." Tony began to yell. 

"Tony calm down you need to listen I was crazy looking for you." Tony interrupted me. 

"So the world has to be falling apart to give two shits about me? If this thing with Thanos wouldn't have happened would you had even come here and remembered you had a brother that you abandoned when I most needed you huh?" 

"I know it was a wrong move leaving you at a hard time but you have to understand why I left."  

"Get the hell out of my compound your not wanted here you understand. Take that kid with you and your belongings out of my room." Tony said getting up from his chair. 

"Tony stop he's your brother you can treat him this way after all he's done for the team. Tony we need you to focus." Said Steve defending me from him. 

Tony's attention when back to me. "And I needed you. As in past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late buddy. Sorry. You know what I need?" Tony threw the things on the table before walking over to Steve. 

"what we needed was a suit of armor around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our precious freedom or not- that's what we needed! And you I need you but not anymore." Tony said referring to me. 

"Well, that didn't work out, did it?" Steve answered him back. 

"I said, "we'll lose". You said, "We'll do that together too." And guess what, cap? We lost. You weren't there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact? We're the Avengers, we're the Avengers. Not the Prevengers, right?" 

"Okay, you made your point. Just sit down, ok?" Rhodey said trying to sit him back on the chair but Tony pushed him away. "I don't care what you did for the team we still lost and your help didn't work. Here's my point, She's great, by the way. We need you. You're new blood." Tony referred to the woman who brought him back. 

"Are you listening to yourself talk right now. " 

"You stay out of it this isn't any of your business." Tony answered me back. "Bunch of tired old mills! I got nothing for you, cap! I got no coordinates, no clues, no plan, no options. Zero. Zip. Nada. No trust. Liar." Steve looks affected by Tony's words. The old friends just gaze at each other. After a moment, Tony rips his Arc Reactor from his chest and shoves it into Steve's hand.

"Here, take this. You find him, and you put that on. You hide." Tony suddenly fell to the ground I rush to his aid with the help of the team before Tony went unconscious. 

"He needs some rest let's take him to a bed." I offered to carry him on my shoulders with Rhodey's help. We took him to an empty room and lay him down on the bed with Pepper never leaving his sight. The next morning Bruce came quickly with medication and treatment for Tony while I left the room and went to the living room where Steve, Natasha and Carol the person who rescued Tony. 

"Bruce gave him a sedative. He's gonna be out for the rest of the day." Rhodey said coming out of the room. I took a glance over to Tony. 

"It's all my fault I shouldn't have stay here." I was sitting down on the couch staring at the ground feeling guilty. Yuki was still sound asleep in the room so I managed to take a shower and change into a pair of clean clothes. 

"Don't say that it's not your fault." Natasha assured me.

"You guys take care of him. And I'll bring Xorrian Elixir when I come back." Carol suddenly said walking away from us. 

"Where are you going?" I asked. 

"To kill Thanos." We all looked at each other then back at her. 

"Hey. You know we usually work as a team here and between you and I we're also a little fragile." Natasha said confronting her. I got up from the couch and stood next to Rhodey by the door frame.

"We realize out there is more of your territory, but this is our fight too." Steve said confronting her too. 

"Do you even know where he is?" Asked Rhodey with his arms crossed in front of his chest. 

"I know people who might." 

"Don't bother I can tell you where Thanos is. Thanos spent a long time trying to perfect me. And when he worked he talked about his great plan. Even disassembled I wanted to please him. I'd ask where would we go once his plan was complete? His answer was always the same." Nebula spoke. "To the garden." 

"That's cute Thanos has a retirement plan." Rhodey joked in a serious tone. I walked over to the round table where they all gathered including Rocket. 

"So where is he?" I asked. Rocket showed a hologram of the planet. "When Thanos snapped his fingers, Earth became ground zero for a power surge of ridiculously cosmic proportions. No one's ever seen anything like it... Until two days ago." Rocket showed the hologram of a different planet showing us. 

"Thanos is there." Said Nebula. 

"He used the stones again." Natasha informed as I took a closer look. 

"Hey, Hey, we'd be going in short-handed, you know." Bruce commented. I nodded my head. 

"Bruce is right but he still has the stones so..." 

"So let's get him. We use them to bring everyone back." Carol looked at us. 

"Just like that?" Bruce asked. 

"Yeah, just like that." Steve spoke reassure. 

"Even if there's a small chance that we can undo this... I mean we owe it to everyone who's not in this room to try." I looked at Natasha. 

"If we do this, how do we know it's gonna end any differently than it did before?" I spoke up.

"Because before you didn't have me." I looked at Carol confused. 

"Hey, new girl, everyone here is about that superhero life. And if you don't mind my asking, where the hell have you been all this time." Rhodey asked. 

"There are a lot of other planets in the universe. And unfortunately, they didn't have you guys." Thor who has been eating a snack behind all this time, stands up and walks over to Carol. He holds his hand up, and catcher Stormbreaker as it flies over to him, missing Carol by inches. But Carol doesn't even flinch, instead of smiling at the God of Thunder. "I like this one." comment thor smiling.

"Let's go get this son of a bitch." Cursed Steve.

_____________________ 

I decided not to go with them to go after Thanos for two reasons. The first reason I had to take care of Yuki. The second reason was that I wanted to stay and take care of Tony. The sedative Bruce gave him won't wake him up till tomorrow morning so I decided to look after him while Pepper did some personal things. After feeding Yuki breakfast and watched some television I decided to come to check on my brother. 

Tony lay asleep the only sounds that could be heard was the machine. I grabbed a chair and took a seat next to the bed. Seeing Tony in this condition only made my remorse grow. "I'm so sorry Tony please forgive me. I never meant to do you any harm. If only I could turn back time then maybe all of the pain you've suffrage through all your adult life wouldn't have happened and you wouldn't be in this mess it should have been me who should be in this bed in this condition. I failed our mother's last promise I fail Tony. Your big brother fail to take care of you and protect you." I put my head down next to his arm on the edge of the bed and cried in silence falling asleep. 

______________________________

Five years have passed since the last time I saw Tony and Pepper. The next day when I had woken up Tony was gone without a word. I called Pepper on her phone and inform me about Tony not wanting anything to do with me. Pepper also apologized for not being able to come to visit Yuki and I anymore. The last thing I heard from her was how they decided to go live in a cabin away from the city. Then a year later or so she send it me a picture of their daughter who they named Morgan. It makes me sad knowing that Tony will never forgive me. That's how much of a big impact I had caused him. After five years the world still looked gloomy and sad. When the team went after Thanos it was too late he had already gotten rid of the stones so Thor took care of him. Things around the compound have changed a bit. Bruce appearance has defiantly changed a lot. He's decided to let Hulk be part of his life now so he's Hulk with glasses but with Bruce same personality. He's made an impact on the people that he's become famous. Steve has made his own group outside of the compound where it's a rehabilitation group where they all talk about how hard it's been losing a loved one and left the compound. Rhodey, Carol, Rocket, and Nebula all went their own ways to help around the country and keep things in check in case of any lead. Natasha was the leader of the group. Yuki has grown over the years now and had just turned seven a few months ago. I have continued to teach him Japanese while he attended a public school here in New York. He definitely has Aiko's characteristics. After all these years he hasn't asked about Aiko but knows about her and has the picture of the three of us together so he wouldn't forget her. Then there was me during these past years I had kept a lot of stuff to myself. For instance,  the old age was catching up to me. My body isn't what it used to be five years ago. But I did continue to train on my own with help from Natasha. Another thing I've been keeping to myself is the lack of sleep and nightmares. It was impossible to get Thanos out of my head. Not to mention the image of Vision and Wanda. Sometimes my right whole arm would go numb dropping things on the floor. I don't want to worry Yuki or anyone for that matter. I have also trained my son some combat defense in case of an emergency. 

My thoughts where interrupted by the sound of a ringtone. I stood up from the chair and took out the phone and looked down at the caller ID. It was Pepper calling. I accepted the phone called. "Hey, Pepper what's up?" I asked. 

The other line stood quiet before Pepper's voice could be heard. "Hey, I'm calling to see if we can meet at the compound while Tony is out." I looked around. 

After a few seconds, I opened my mouth to speak. "Sure, I don't mind plus my son's at school and there's nobody else but me in the compound." 

"Great, I'll see you in a bit." I hang up the phone and took a seat back on the chair. I then proceeded to go over to the kitchen and prepare something to eat. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. I went over to the front door and opened it. It was Pepper standing there. We hugged each other and let her inside.  

"I made coffee and some sandwiches if you like one." I said offering her as I placed the food on the round wooden table. "Thanks [M/N]." 

"So what brings you here I haven't heard anything from you since sent the picture of Morgan when she was born. Are you guys okay is Tony alright?" I asked concern about taking a seat in front of her. 

"Tony's fine we are all good that's actually one of the reasons why I came to visit because I wanted to see Yuki and wanted to know how you have been this past few years." 

"I mean the kid is alright he's grown up a lot already seven years old. He goes to school not too far from here and has friends which makes me happy because there's no one that he can play with around here. I mean Morgan is his cousin but you know they never met before so.... but yeah, we are doing fine except for a few white hairs popping here and there. But other than that we are fine." I smiled at her. "Do you want to try Japanese food I made some for dinner today." I took a sip of my coffee then placed it back on the table. I got up from the chair and walked over to the kitchen and carried some curry with white rice I grabbed it with my right hand only but when I turned around a few feet away from the table my hand suddenly went numb and the plate ended up falling to the ground. 

Pepper stood up from her chair right away and came to my aid. "Are you alright did you cut yourself here let me clean it up." She insisted and guided me to the sofa. 

"Pepper please i'm fine I can clean it up myself." I stood up but yelled in pain at the sudden cramping on my right hand. 

"What's going on there's something your not telling me [M/N]." I shook my head breathing heavily. "Nothings wrong just a small cramp is all I didn't mean to worried you." I assure her. 

Pepper stood by my side not leaving me alone. "There's something going on with you and you're not telling anyone. Come on be honest I can tell when someone lies to me." She said looking right through my eyes. The sudden pain slowly began to disappear. 

I frown before nodding my head. "I... I've been losing control of my hand it's been a couple of weeks since my right arm has gone numb at random times. There have been times when I drop things that don't weight at all." 

"Why haven't you told anyone about this, what about Bruce or visiting a doctor?" She asked in a concerned tone. I shook my head in disagreement. "I can't tell Bruce he and Yuki have gotten closer and I'm afraid he would tell him about my situation. I don't want to worry him or anyone that's why when this sort of thing happens I go down to the gym and train in private so no one can see how much pain I go through." 

"Tony and everyone else needs to know about your condition. You can't hide this forever think about Yuki." She pleaded with sympathy in her tone. 

"No, i'm sorry Pepper but it's exactly because of them that I don't want anyone to know about it. Please promise you won't tell anyone about this." 

Pepper sigh before nodding her head. "Fine I won't tell anyone but please be careful." 

"I promise. There's actually something I want to ask of you."

50 Things I’m Convinced Tay & Joe Do - Part 2

1. Joe standing in front of the mirror and checking his outfit for the hundredth time before visiting her parents. He’d then constantly walk up to her, asking “Does this look alright? Or is it too much?“ and Taylor would just laugh at his nervousness but find it very cute that he cares so much about what her parents think.

2. Taylor always wearing glasses around the house and him telling her everytime how sexy her PJ and glasses attire is to him

3. Taylor excitedly pointing to the window and saying “Horses” whenever they pass a herd of Horses while driving through the English countryside.

4. Joe always looking at her food with a touch of disappointment on his face and murmuring “should’ve gotten what you got, love” every single time they order Chinese food, which is slowly driving her insane.

5. Taylor making Joe watch “The Sense of an Ending” for the eleventh time because she’s so proud of his accomplishments and wants him to be ’proud of his craft’ which he always comments with rolling eyes but a smile on his face.

6. Taylor giggling hysterically whenever Joe is seen on screen and holding his hand throughout the entire movie while squeezing it whenever his charm or acting skills are impressing her a bit more.

7. Joe always agreeing to watch his movies with her because her excited giggles and proud smiles are what gets him through every rough day even after a failed audition.

8. Joe always kissing her fingertips whenever they sit in the car and she complains about her cold hands.

9. Joe pressing his nose into her hair while mumbling a loud “no no no no no” after the alarm goes off in the morning.

10. Joe laughing and saying “s’ fine. Mummy’s just having a lot of fun” when Olivia starts meowing because she got scared by Taylor’s moans coming from the bedroom. Taylor would just start laughing from underneath him in bed, slowly coming down from a mind-blowing orgasm and mumbling “we have to shut the door next time, baby.“

11. Joe sometimes stepping up right behind her to place his hands on her back while she’s rinsing off the dishes and Taylor mumbling a quiet “Yeah go on, I could use a massage, baby.” which is always quickly followed by “No, Joe. Not on my boobs.” and his mischievous laugh in her neck.

12. Taylor always sending him random selfies, wether she’s grumpy and on the plane or just woke up on the other side of the globe because he told her once how his day always lightens up when he looks at his phone and sees her face.

13. Joe becoming really shy and not able to react cool anymore whenever she’s bragging about how he’s the “most amazing guy in the world“ in front of her entire family on a holiday.

14. Taylor standing in front of the patio door of her Rhode Island home, trying to get Olivia inside before it starts to rain even harder. „Olivia. C’mon. It’s raining!“ She’d yell, has no clue how to get the stubborn cat inside. Joe would walk up to her and slowly open the door a bit more to step outside “m’ getting her. One wet pussy in this household is enough.“ he’d say with a mischievous smirk on his face before getting hit by his girlfriend, who can’t believe how cocky he is at times: "You did not just say that, Joseph.”

15. Joe sometimes whispering a low „you’re the love of my life, do you know that..“ while laying awake in the middle of the night, holding her in his arms and listening to her soft snores and starring at her for minutes.

16. Joe and Taylor watching BBC documentaries until the middle of the night and having deep conversations and discussions about it afterwards.

17. Joe sometimes smiling at her in the middle of a serious discussion about a certain topic that was part of the documentary and answering with a quiet “god, you’re so smart. you have no idea how sexy that is.”

18. Taylor constantly burning her fingers while cooking and Joe always yelling a concerned “be more careful, baby. please.“ from upstairs.

19. Taylor’s heart melting when she enters the living room after preparing some food for her godson and finding Joe and him cuddling together on the couch and reading a book together.

20. Taylor always wearing his clothes in the house when he’s gone a for a few days for work. Even though his sweatpants are way to big for her, she’d always find a way to make’m fit while having a chilled day at home with the cats.

21. Joe calling Tay “the master of cheese“ because she always adds an extra layer of cheese on her pizza whenever they’re at home.

22. Tay and Joe watching “The Voice Kids UK“ on TV and Joe mumbling an impressed “we should really produce kids, baby.“ after hearing all these talented children sing which causes Taylor to giggle quietly, cuddle closer to him and daydream about the future.

23. Tay and Joe having these little inside jokes that are literally annoying everyone around them. Wether it’s on a night out with friends or at her parents house for dinner: One look is always enough to make the two burst out in laughter without anyone else getting the joke.

24. Taylor always bending up to him, pressing her face in his neck and kissing his warm skin softly before giving him a long hug.

25. Joe having a light obsession with her hair. He’d play with her ponytail whenever she’s sitting next to him, take every opportunity he can to run his big hands through her hair or kiss her head over her bangs because she just smells too good for him to stay away.

26. Joe and Tay both having these random habits that are a result of spending too much time together. For example, her starting to pick at Joe’s plate in the restaurant and putting some of his food on her plate as soon as the meal has arrived and everyone of her friends and family looking at her with a questioning look while she’d just casually answer with "he doesn’t eat eggplant.“ and Joe thankfully starting to eat his food afterwards.

27. Joe saying random phrases at times, like: „Der kaffee schmeckt koestlich. German. For ‚the coffee is delicious“ while packing his suitcase and her always repeating every single one of his remarks.

28. Joe feeling Tay get a bit jealous deep down inside whenever he talks about a romantic scene he was shooting on set and Taylor acting as if she couldn’t care less.

29. Joe and Tay being not just lovers but best friends. So much, that he even feels comfortable to ask her questions about the female body he always had because growing up with two brothers did not help him to develop a basic knowledge about the female emotions. He’d ask things like “Does it feel weird to have a tampon inside you?“ or "Is it annoying to have to wear a bra in public all the time?” which always makes Taylor laugh.

30. Joe always taking notes in his head about the moves and actions that bring her the most pleasure while making love. Like, every change of position, every pressure on his fingers, every kiss behind her ear that would bring her closer to climax would be saved in the back of his head. And over time, he knows exactly what buttons to push to make her come undone in his hands after only a few minutes.

31. Joe loving to wash her hair whenever they take a shower together

32. Taylor treating him like a baby whenever he’s sick. She’d cook him soup and tea, check on him every ten minutes, put on his favorite movies and mumble a casual “my poor baby.“ while Joe has cuddled his head into her neck and her stroking his scalp while laying in bed with him.

33. Joe convincing her how freeing it feels to sleep naked with nothing on but some underpants and her discovering that feeling of freedom in her bedroom of not having to put on some pyjamas to sleep but instead sleep skin on skin right next to him.

34. Joe feeling depressed all day long whenever he had the pleasure to fall asleep with her in his arms and having to wake up alone because she had to catch an early flight.

35. Joe trying to hide it, but finding it extremely cute whenever she couldn’t sleep at night and wakes up with puffy eyes and little curls all over her head.

36. Taylor always admiring how intelligent and well educated he is whenever he starts to explain her something about the economical outcomes of England becoming independent again and leaving the EU.

37. Taylor being dead serious while telling her mom that her future grandkids are destined to be blonde weirdos with huge foreheads and an indefinable accent.

38. Joe always providing her with her whip cream and chocolate when she’s on her period which leads to Tay mumbling an agitated “thanks for supporting my disgusting eating habits.“ while having her mouth full of whip cream and laying in front of the TV like a pregnant woman.

39. Taylor being super moody somedays and picking stupid fights over every stupid little thing.

40. Joe always being the one to end an argument even though he’s just as stubborn as her, but he simply cannot take a few hours of being in the same house as her and not loving up on her in any way.

41. Taylor discussing with him if “Taylor Alwyn” sounds good or not and Joe confessing to her that he sometimes dreams about introducing her as “Mrs. Alwyn” to strangers.

42. Joe receiving some messages from his family and friends on her birthday saying “Happy Birthday to your girlfriend” and he replied to every single one of them with “What girlfriend?”

43. Taylor fixing his hair almost every morning because the longer it gets, the more he complains.

44. Taylor playing him all the songs she wrote for him on piano while he just sits next to her, listening to her for hours.

45. Joe surprising her on set while Tay is shooting a music video and bringing Andrea and her their favorite Starbucks drinks which gives him extra mother-in-law points.

46. Joe chatting with Andrea while Tay is shooting some scenes and him constantly gushing about how amazing she looks, how nervous she has been all morning and what a talented actress she’d be while Andrea just looks at him in awe, thinking about how in love this guy must be with her daughter.

47. Taylor imitating his accent at times and saying “Baby, would you like some more wootaah?” and him just overhearing it because she starts doing it all the time that he basically got used to it.

48. Joe casually pinching her bum whenever she walks by just to hear her squeak.

49. Joe eating the most sugary and unhealthy chocolate peanut butter cereal for breakfast every morning and Taylor watching him while wondering how he can still be in such a good physical condition without suffering from diabetes or obesity.

50. Joe hating to wake her up in the morning when she’s sick but has to catch a flight to work on some very important and album related things. He’d carefully crawl into bed to her once again and kiss her face at least ten times before whispering a soft “it’s time, baby.” in her ear, pulling her inside his warm arms after hearing her complain already and mumbling “I know, baby. I know. I love you so much.” in her hair to make waking up for her while being super sick just a little better.

OC Interview

Thanks to @badpriestessofbuttsburgh for tagging me! Anyone who wants to do this is welcome to it! I’ll tag @bakedsweetroll @zeesqueere @lavelland 🌺

1. What’s your name?

Velahris Lavellan, though most people just call me Vel.

2. Do you know why you are named that?

My name had a special meaning to my parents. Something like “Endless song”, though that’s a very rough translation.

3. Are you single or taken?

[soft, knowing chuckle] Isn’t it obvious? Maybe Varric doesn’t tell everyone... Taken. If you want more details, ask the dwarf.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

I guess suppressing my magic for years counts. Also, I have a stronger connection to the Fade than most. I suppose I always have, though with the Anchor it’s far more intense.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

Huh? What’s that?

6. What’s your eye color?

Blue. Varric always says they’re “blue as a lyrium vein”. [longing sigh] So romantic.

7. How about your hair color?

Well, it’s... Red. Auburn, I guess? I’ve never really thought much about the exact shade.

8. Have any family members?

My parents and two brothers, one older and one younger. Silvhen and Ethelan. My parents and older brother are Grey Wardens, and my little brother was a Circle mage.

9. Oh? How about any pets?

I have two cats! Paragon and Warden. Cole found a cat at Skyhold who had a litter, and we cared for the kittens together. I couldn’t bear to part with those two, so I kept them. They’re spoiled rotten, the sweet things.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like. 

Cassandra’s lectures. She means well, but well... It’s a bit much sometimes. I’m an adult - I can make my own decisions well enough without her interference.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

I cook! Sometimes I’ll embroider, or any number of things really. What I like best though is a good ride through the forest on horseback. Or, halla-back. Either way, it’s so refreshing!

12. Have you hurt anyone in any way before?

I... Suppose I have. Hasn’t everyone?

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

Yes.

14. What kind of animal are you?

I suppose if I had to choose, a Halla. They’re so graceful!

15. Name your worst habits?

I... tend to cry. I’m quite emotional, unfortunately [giggles]. I also have a bit of a sweet tooth...

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

I look up to so many people. My soldiers, my advisors, my Inner Circle... I couldn’t list all of them. But... I suppose I’ll have to try, won’t I?

Solas’ mind is fascinating. His knowledge and wisdom has never failed me, and I always seek his counsel on decisions I have to make. He’s like a father to me.

Blackwall... I admire him so much. His determination, his quest for justice. He reminds me of ‘Vhen, actually. It’s... comforting.

Then there’s Josephine. She’s always polite and sweet, but never too much. She’s still genuine. I appreciate it more than words could say.

And Varric, he’s... So full of kindness. He brings light and laughter into my life, and I don’t know what I’d do without him. I... I love him very much.

[Varric, from across the room] “I heard that, Clover!”

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

Bisexual. Though, I haven’t had many relationships with men.

18. Do you go to school?

No. Whatever I know, I taught it to myself. Magic, reading and writing, ancient elvhen. Although my Keeper did teach me a few things.

19. Ever want to marry and have any kids one day?

I’d like that very much. I’ve always wanted a family, but, well... I’m not sure if it’s even possible for an elf and a dwarf to...

[Varric, chuckling] “Oh, it’s possible, sweetheart. Just unlikely.”

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

I definitely have a few admirers at the Orlesian court. They send me jewels and gowns from time to time, along with fan letters. It’s flattering, if I’m honest. For Orlesian nobles to even tolerate an elf in a position of power, let alone like me...

21. What are you most afraid of?

Failure. I’m afraid I’ll misstep and everything will come crashing down around me. I can’t let my people down. But... I won’t.

22. What do you usually wear?

I’m partial to loose fitting blouses and leather trousers, but I’ll wear pretty much anything as long as it’s not a hat. They never sit right on my ears... For more formal occasions I’ll opt for robes or a gown, usually in blue or red silk. Dorian’s assured me that red is my color, but I think Varric and Hawke put him up to it just so I’d match with them.

[Hawke, from the bar] “Now, that’s no fair! You look ravishing in red, your inquisitorialness!”

23. What one food tempts you?

Maker, those little frilly cakes they had at Halamshiral I must have had fifty seven before Josephine pulled me away from the dessert table. I don’t regret it, but since then I’ve had a few extra pounds packed on my backside that I can’t seem to shed.

[Varric, winking from across the table] “Hey, I’m not complaining.”

24. Am I annoying you?

Of course not!

25. Well, it’s still not over!

Good, I’ve only just got started!

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

Well, I’m Dalish, so I don’t really know where that fits in your human hierarchy. Though I suppose now, since I’m Inquisitor, that’s bumped me up in standing a little.

27. How many friends do you have?

I have quite a few people I’m lucky to call my friends.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

All types of pie are delicious and wonderful!

29. Favourite drink?

Fresh, warm halla milk. It’s so creamy... [stomach growl] Fen’harel’s teeth, this is making me hungry...

30. What’s your favourite place?

Wherever my dear dwarf is.

[Varric, sarcastically] “Oh, how romantic. I’ll have to make my way into a sewer next!”

Shush! But I suppose it’s my family tree. It’s just outside of Starkhaven. I remember going there with my Keeper when I was young, when Ethelan carved his name into the bark. It holds so many stories... I hope to take my children there someday.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

[Varric] “Of course she is! I’m very interesting.”

32. That was a stupid question…

Suppose so. Now, let’s move on!

33. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

Either one! Though, lakes remind me more of my childhood. Dalish tend to frolic, and lakes are good for that.

34. What’s your type?

I don’t think I really have a type. I just... love who I love. But I seem to have a thing for kind people.

35. Any fetishes?

[spit take] What? I... erm...

[Varric, leaning over] “That’s for me to know, and you to never find out.”

36. Camping indoors or outdoors?

Outdoors! The smell of the forest, the wind in the trees, sleeping under the stars... [sigh] There’s nothing like it!

[forestdragoncat]

In-Character Interview

 1. Choose an OC.

2. Answer them as that OC.

3. Tag 5 people to do the same. (Tag as many as you wish)

I was tagged by @wilvarin-chan! Thank you!

Tagging :  @ariela-of-aedyr, @queen-scribbles, @rannadylin, @lunarowena, @ma-serannas-vhenan and anyone else who wants to participate!

1. What is your name?

Rishan Windcaller. Though those days people usually call me just Watcher. Or Captain. But i prefer being called by name.

2. Do you know why you are named that?

*Orlan’s ears lower slightly* You see, my mother’s name is Shinra, and my father’s is Ishran. They thought it was amusing and decided to make their children’s names anagrams as well *sigh*

3. Are you single or taken?

Taken.*She narrows her eyes* You aren’t trying to date me, right? No? Sorry, it’s just... nevermind.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

You mean besides being able to see through The Beyond and communicating with wayward souls? I am also a druid, an animist, to be spicific. And, as my last name suggests, i am especially good with wind spells, including storms.

5. Stop being a Mary sue.

Is this... Another title? People love to give me them, that’s for sure.

6. What’s your eye color?

Dark yellow. What, they are not?

7. How about your hair color?

Auburn. *Rishan picks a small strand of her hair and looks at it as if to make sure it is, indeed, red, then looks at interviewer questionally*

8. Have any family members?

Far too many to know them all personally. Besides my parents, my brothers, Shiran, Rinash, Rashin and Shanir, and my sisters, Nashri and Ranish, i have a lot of cousins, uncles and aunts.

9. Oh? How about pets?

It’s easy - i see a poor animal in peril - i take it with me. While most of them stay with me, sometimes i seek a new homes for others. Not all animals like living on a ship. By the way i have this very cute calico cat that is looking for a loving owner right now, i can introduce you, if you wish.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like?

People *quietly* and Gods* *in normal voice* who thinks they are superior to other kith and treat them like dirt. Manipulators. Blind followers. Absolute silence. Loneliness.  *cough* I think it’s enough for now.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

Yes, i do. I enjoy reading books on history and cultures of various Eora’s nations and study theory of arcane arts. Also i like to knit.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

Yes. I am not sure you can be a explorer in The Living Lands without hurting anybody at all.

13. Ever…killed anyone before?

Before what? Before coming to Dyrwood and becoming Watcher? Yes. Wild land, wild kith.

14. What kind of animal are you?

As in my spiritshift form? A deer, probably a memento from previous lives. *druid gazes upwards* but i wanted to be an otter...

15. Name your worst habits.

Throwing a hissy fits from time to time over things beyond my control. And fast eating.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

To my family, i suppose. The brave researchers of the unknown.

17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?

Straight.

18. Did you attend school?

Maybe it wasn’t so much of a school by “civilized“ standarts, but yes, i did.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

I am not sure about kids. Orlans and elves obviously can’t have mixed offsprings, as well as every other mixed race couples. Maybe if only adopted ones. But i would like to marry someday.

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

I think i do, but not in a sense i would have liked?

21. What are you most afraid of?

*She looks contemplative for a moment, then her hands turns into fists* Of repeating mistakes of the past lives.

22. What do you usually wear?

Depends on where we are heading. On expeditions clothes should be comfortable and practical. But this is is mandatory *she point at her tricorn*. If weather allows it of course.

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Quark cheesecake! Sadly, not a very popular dish around here *sigh*.

24. Am I annoying you?

No, no, it’s alright.

25. Well, it’s not over!

*She nods*

26. What class are you (Low/middle/high)?

A good question! Truth is i don’t know anymore, with Caed Nua being destroyed. So, maybe, middle-high?

27. How many friends do you have?

Many! I hope they feel the same.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

Oh well, now i’m hungry.

29. Favorite drink?

Depends on situation.

30. What’s your favorite place?

Home. And where is home? Where people that are dear to me are.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

I did say i was taken, no? So yes, i am interested in special someone. But he prefers to not discuss our relationship in public, so i will leave at that.

32. That was a stupid question…

*Shrugs* I guess.

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Both. If water is good.

34. What’s your type?

Still relationship questions continue *sigh*. Does it matter now?

35. Any fetishes?

*Rishan deadpans, her ears are lowering*

36. Camping or outdoors?

Both are good. Now exuse me, i am going to find some pie. Goodbye!

In Character Interview

1. Choose an OC.

2. Answer them as that OC.

3. Tag 5 people to do the same.

@cinlat tagged me awhile ago to give her Jurr’s answers in response of Kadu’s here.

1. What is your name? 

“Jurr Jiin Jadon”

2. Do you know why are you named that?

She screws up her face like she is trying really hard to remember. “I think my brother helped me choose Jiin and that Jurr was all I could remember of my name when I was admitted to the hospital as a kid.” She pauses before grinning, “Jadon is my husband’s family name.”

3. Are you single or taken?

“Pretty sure I just answered that, weren’t you listening?”

4. Have any abilities or powers?

She laughs, “if you consider being able to forget my entire life at the drop of a hat, sure, why not?”

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

"Or what?” she asks, single eye narrowing into a challenging glare.

6. What’s your eye color?

“Kadu calls it amber but I think it’s more like gold.”

7. How about your hair color?

“Red,” she answers before frowning, “can’t you figure that one out for yourself?”

8. Have any family members?

“Blood family is overrated,” she scoffs, folding her arms across her chest, “but then mine never came looking for an amnesiac teenager. Kadu is my family, as is his padawan, my squad and my new service dog Brutus.”

9. Oh? How about pets?

She gestures at the large Akk Dog sitting next to her. “What do you think? Kadu worked for a long time with my brother and another Jedi to get our squad listed as a canine unit so I could have Brutus. He is like a pet with all sorts of bonuses - like he will bite the face off anyone who annoys me.”

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now, tell me something you don’t like?

“Being underestimated because of my disadvantages, I might not remember all of it but I know I worked damn hard to get to where I am.”

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

“Art, I spend a lot of time sketching and painting. I also enjoy watching art programs and listening to Kadu read.” Her face flushes adorably, “and lately he has been trying to teach me to swim.”

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

“Yes, and yes I meant to and will again when, not if, it comes up.”

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

“Yes, that’s the life of a soldier. Kill the enemy before they kill you.”

14. What kind of animal are you?

“I’m not sure, though Kadu might say I am an octopus with how I latch on to him at night.”

15. Name your worst habits?

She grins. “I am terrible with names.”

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

“My husband of course, for how patient and caring he is. He deals with a lot more of my shitty life than he should have to.”

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

She frowns, tapping her fingers on her chin as she thinks. “Could I answer with ‘Kadu-sexual’?”

18. Do you go to school?

“I have vague memories of going through an adapted course at the Republic Military Academy, they accommodated me but I don’t think it was by their own choice.”

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“I’ve got half of that down but,” her voice trails off and she stares at her lap, “kids is out of the question. Not just because Kadu and I couldn’t get pregnant, but what kind of mother could I be when I can’t even guarantee I’d remember my children’s faces in the morning? It’s impossible, I don’t know anything about being a mom and no kid deserves to deal with my shit.”

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

“Oh yes, so many,” she says, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Didn’t you know? It’s every kids dream to grow up and have half their brain destroyed so they can be someone’s science project and forget their own name.”

21. What are you most afraid of?

“My implants breaking beyond repair. It will happen someday, even if they just wear out, not tech lasts forever.”

22. What do you usually wear?

“Armor, PT gear,” she smiles, “and Kadu’s shirts.”

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

“Kadu makes the best pancakes in the entire galaxy. I don’t even need to remember eating anyone else’s to know I am right.”

24. Am I annoying to you?

“Little bit, but I won’t remember this by next week so I’ll get over it.”

25. Well, it’s still not over!

“You know I could be painting right now, right?”

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

“As a soldier I guess low? I don’t really have a good understanding of classes of society, comes from forgetting everything all the time and growing up in a hospital.”

27. How many friends do you have?

“More than I ever expected. Hell, some days i am still stunned I have one. I don’t make a habit of loading many of my memories of growing up but I do know I spent years in that facility and only one person ever gave me the time of day. I quite literally owe my life to Trev because without him I wouldn’t be where I am today. Or even that I’d be alive.”

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

“Pie? Where?”

29. Favorite drink?

“Sweetberry juice or hot cocoa - and if either is spiked with something a little stronger all the better.”

30. What’s your favorite place?

“Anywhere I am alone with my husband.”

31. Are you interested in anyone?

“Not particularly, I learned early on that interest was a waste when your memory is a fickle as mine.”

32. That was a stupid question…

“If you look over this interview, I think you would find a lot of them are. Even I don’t have to ask people sitting across from me what color their hair is.”

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Her face pales, “I can’t really swim without Kadu there to support me in the water so I’d rather not do either if it’s all the same to you.”

34. What’s your type?

“Like as in men?” She cocks her head to the side and smiles, “someone big and strong enough to rip you to shreds with ease.”

35. Any fetishes?

“I am not familiar with that word, cold you define it for me?”

36. Camping or outdoors?

“I don’t see how that is a ‘or’ question. Can you camp inside?”

[kaiba-fangirl]

Fill in the questions/statement as if you are being interviewed for an article and you were your muse

Tag 10 people to do this meme, (repost, don’t reblog)

TAGGED BY: not @rogueprinceconsort =P & I know I’m not a RP blog, but I am a fanfic author so I still do the same kind of stuff, just everyone at once with chapters, so I’m sure ya won’t mind... idk itching to write Seto but his mind is all over the place in Ch7 of And You? (AO3/FFN), & I know I’ve missed a bunch of personal tags in the past, so, well, I’m here now. TAGGING: anyone 1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

“Seto Kaiba.”  (海馬 瀬人 Kaiba, Seto)

2. WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?

He narrows his eyes, already suspicious. “Legally, that IS my real name.”

3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT?

“I was born Seto,” he answers flatly, then smirks. “The Kaiba family name I earned for myself and my little brother at the age of 10, when Gozaburo agreed to adopt us thanks to my, superior negotiating skills.” [Seto after Egyptian Pharaoh Seth. Kaiba for, apparently, hippocampus/seahorse.]

4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN? “Taken. Happily married to the number 1 female duelist, Mai Valentine. She’s now heading the new Fashion Tech and Merchandise Department at Kaiba Corp.” [but he’s also still looking >.>]

5. HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS? “Just bleeding edge technology development and superior dueling skills,” he shrugs smugly. [and hacking.] [You also accidentally activate latent magical powers every so often, dumbass. Sure he’s a genius. A genius that weaves techno-sorcery into everything & commands gods without even knowing it.] “Anything else you may have heard about magic or spirits or real monsters, is all just nonsense hocus pocus. It’s sensationalists trying to make our amazingly life-like holographic projections seem dangerous.”

6. STOP BEING A MARY SUE/GARY STU. “Heh, doesn’t that just mean born talented? You should be so lucky.”

7. WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR? “Blue,” he chuckles childishly. “It was probably what first drew me to, you know, Blue-Eyes, when I was young.” [It’s not. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon was his magical monster of light ‘girlfriend’ in Ancient Egypt in a past life of his 3000 years ago.]

8. HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR? “Chestnut.”

9. HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS? “Living, my little brother, Mokuba, and now my lovely wife.”

10. OH? WHAT ABOUT PETS? “No pets. I barely have time for having two people in my life now it seems, and that’s even with Mokuba off travelling.” [any pet energy is expended on more Blue-Eyes White Dragon themed everything]

11. THAT’S COOL I GUESS, NOW TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON��T LIKE. “You wanna see a REAL Gary Stu?! As in, there is no reason he should have made it this far?! Joey fuckin Wheeler. This loser stole his way into my tournament, then has the nerve to even challenge me for 3rd place as if that meant anything, and he still ends up 4th even?! How! He operates on pure luck, and leeching off his ‘friends!’ His deck is a mess, I mean have you even seen his lineup?!?!” [Well that would all be redacted. Now, since this is for an interviewer for a published article...] He calmly and thoughtfully looks off at a spot on the far wall behind the interviewer. He purses his lips and furrows his brow, genuinely distraught, drawing from a direct encounter. “I’m actually more concerned than ever about the state of refugees- whether they have that official label or not. Around the world. Especially the children. These children don’t know what’s going on, and people say they care about children, but they really don’t. They’re not thinking of those kids- of refugee kids. Of poor kids. Of orphans or abused kids. And the way these refugees are being treated, those kids are getting hit with all those things at once. Ya know, I- I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity to be adopted, in a strong first-world nation, but I know what it’s like, to know that the grown ups are just using you, not listening to you. You’re nothing to them; maybe pawns. Now, I’m doing all I can, as president of Kaiba Corp, but there is still only so much we can do. We’re not making tanks or any weapons at all anymore-” He chokes at the thought of a tank staring him down specifically, compared to the latest news. He clears his throat to manage. “Not since the day I took over. We may not be contributing to that military industrial complex anymore, but the state of refugees today is still just as bad if not worse. Now they’re using weapons outlawed by the Geneva Conventions, and in countries that pride themselves on freedom and opportunity. Pteh. It’s madness. It’s evil.” [...aaand that just became the cover story] [We’ll be back after after a short break.]

12. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES/ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE DOING? “Besides dueling, uh, tinkering. Reading. Hacking into random databases I shouldn’t be in.”

13. EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE? “Next question. Don’t even print that, or you’ll be hearing from my lawyers. And they don’t play so nice.” [By ‘lawyers’ I’m pretty sure he just means goons.]

14. EVER… KILLED ANYONE BEFORE? "No.” [Gozaburo.]

15. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU? "Dragon.”

16. NAME YOUR WORST HABITS. "Tch, I wouldn’t have gotten to be president of a multi-billion-dollar corporation if I had bad habits.”  [That is literally his worst habit. Also how he got there is because of all his bad habits.] He chuckles at what he’s about to make fun of. “Then again, some people think that working too much is a bad habit.”

17. DO YOU LOOK UP TO ANYONE AT ALL? "How could I when I’m already on top?”

18. GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL? "Irrelevant.” He smiles menacingly. “Card games are more important anyway.” [Bi and trying to figure out how to tell his wife. Then again once he does that, the press will be easy. Possibly also grey ace or demi, since he does enjoy the physical aspects of being married & his crush.]

19. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? “Graduated high school early and then went right back to work as CEO, at the time. I don’t have time to waste getting a piece of paper to validate my knowledge that I’m already putting to use at Kaiba Corp everyday. --but I certainly support everyone staying in school as long as they can. Kaiba Corp offers a free college tuition program for any employee, paid ahead of time, and schedules can be worked around class and homework time as needed.”

20. DO YOU EVER WANT TO MARRY AND HAVE KIDS ONE DAY? “I never thought I would want to marry, but I have always assumed I would want to adopt. Now I am married, and we both want to adopt. Someday. It needs to be when I can have time for them...” [and he’s wondering why you are supposed to only marry one person...]

21. DO YOU HAVE ANY FANBOYS/FANGIRLS? “Yeah,” he laughs, genuinely embarrassed at this level of pure idolization, “I find it endearing to see people dress up as Yugi and I at events.”

22. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF? “Losing my little brother.”

23. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR? “Full-length pants, tight fitting turtlenecks, boots, and a trenchcoat. More leather and straps and buckles, the better.”

24. DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE? “Of course. My little brother and my wife.” [and Joey]

25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WET YOURSELF? [he just makes this face:]

[but possibly the last time he did hard drugs]

26. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? (HIGH CLASS, MIDDLE CLASS, LOW CLASS) “Highest class.” He winks, for the spotlight.

27. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE? “I don’t need ‘friends’ outside of my family.”

28. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON PIE? “Finally, an intelligent question!” he laughs rudely. “My thoughts are that we should change the standard approximation for π to something closer to 3.16. That’s what I use in my calculations, and I find things just seem to work out better for me because of it.”

29. FAVORITE DRINK? “I’ve started drinking a lot more water, and I think that’s pretty much all I drink lately.”

30. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE? “It’s comforting being in my office, knowing where I belong, knowing that with me there, everyone I love is safe, knowing how I got there, and being proud of all I’ve accomplished, but...” [sometimes anxiety about it being Gozaburo’s old office creeps into his mind like an evil spirit or ghost...] “But more than that, I enjoy the wild freedom of just taking my Blue-Eyes jet out with some good music playing.” [oh my various gods he will always be an emo teen at heart <3]

31. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE? He scoffs. “Yes, I am genuinely interested in my wife. Mai is an amazing person. And- Ah, and, um, next question?” [and Joey!]

32. WHAT’S YOUR BRA CUP SIZE AND/OR HOW BIG IS YOUR WILLY? “What kind of magazine is this for, anyway?” he asks as an aside, then thinks up a ridiculous enough response. “Ever hear of Zorc? I’d say that’s roughly one-third the size of mine.” Under his breath, he scoffs in disgust. “Imbeciles.”

33. WOULD YOU RATHER SWIM IN THE LAKE OR THE OCEAN? “Er, a private pool, thanks. Too many paparazzi anyplace else, and I wouldn’t want to close off anything from the public.” [I hear there’s a river in Egypt he lives in though]

34. WHAT’S YOUR TYPE? “Independent. Strong. Great duelist. Someone who knows what it’s like at rock bottom, but still managed to claw their way to the top...” [he spaces out off to the side]

35. ANY FETISHES? *zoom out to room full of Blue-Eyes White Dragon themed EVERYTHING* “Nah.” [*insert Will Smith presenting his AO3 tags]

36. SEME OR UKE? TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE?

[Switch! But “And You?” is stuck at a T rating, sooo...]

37. CAMPING OR INDOORS? "The fuck- you’re giving me whiplash with these questions,” he mutters. “Camping sounds nice. Real camping. Mokuba and I used to build forts and play outside a lot. I should ask him if he wants to go on a camping trip when he gets back. I doubt- well, no, I think Mai would like that, too.” [And Joey can cook them “candy bars!”]

38. ARE YOU WANTING THE QUIZ TO END?

In-Character Interview

Rules:

1. Choose an OC.

2. Answer them as that OC.

3. Tag 5 people to do the same. (Tag as many as you wish)

I was tagged by: @grumpy-jedi <3

I’ll tag: @shimmer-like-agirl @allisondraste @queen-scribbles @ariela-of-aedyr and anyone else who wants to do this (or has done it, but wants to do it again with a different character!)

I couldn’t choose between Cait and Kai, so I did it with both, but I’ll put them in separate posts for ease of reading. Here’s (post-Deadfire) Kai!

–

1. What is your name?

“Call me Kai. Just Kai, please.”

2. Do you know why are you named that?

“I chose it.” She shrugged. “Sorry it's not much of a story, dear.”

3. Are you single or taken?

“I am spoken for. I hope you don’t mind if I don’t say more than that. He’s a very private person.”

4. Have any abilities or powers?

“I’m a fairly studied wizard,” she said with barely concealed excitement. “I don’t know everything, of course, there’s always more to learn. I don’t like to brag, but I’m especially talented with offensive magic. Fire, in particular, is a favorite of mine.”

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

“You first, my dear,” she said coldly.

6. What’s your eye color?

“Green. Dark green, if you care for specifics.”

7. How about your hair color?

“Very red, very curly,” she said with a wry twist of her mouth. “It certainly makes an impression, I’ll give it that.”

8. Have any family members?

“I assume my parents and brother are still alive wherever they are, but they don’t matter,” she said matter-of-factly. “Two sisters and a sister-in-law. They do matter. And Aloth and Eder. They’ve been there for me more than most.”

9. Oh? How about pets?

“I think it’s more like Eder has a lot of pets and he keeps them in my house. Most of them are pretty sweet, so I don’t really mind. I could do without the talking skull, though. He’s very rude and doesn’t let me sleep.”

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now, tell me something you don’t like?

“Meddling gods. When decisions are made for me or I’m not given a choice. My parents. My hair.”

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

“I read a lot. I like to study languages, in particular.”

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

“You don’t live as long as I have without hurting anyone, dear. I try to avoid it as much as I can, but it is inevitable on occasion.”

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

“It comes with the territory, I’m sorry to say. Sometimes people simply do not wish to see reason, and some people simply need killing.”

14. What kind of animal are you?

“A raven, maybe,” she said after thinking for a moment. “Clever and a bit tricksy and also considered to be omens of Berath. It’s a bit on the nose, actually.”

15. Name your worst habits?

“I don’t sleep as often or as much as I should. I can be cold and emotionally reserved. I have a very bad habit of running from my problems, but I’m trying to work on that.”

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

“No,” she said coldly. “Every hero I’ve ever had has let me down. Just try to be better than who you used to be. It’s the same thing everyone else is doing.”

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

“I’ve never experienced much by way of sexual attraction. With one very notable exception. Well, two exceptions, but they share a body so I don’t think they should be counted individually in this case.”

18. Did you attend school?

“Yes. Private tutors until I was old enough to attend the academy, and then two universities after. What’s the point of an elven lifespan if you don’t use it to learn as much as you can?”

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“If I ever get married, it will not be for a long time. I do, however, have an adopted daughter, Vela. I never would have thought I wanted kids, but she is a gift. Kidnapping her is one of the best decisions I ever made.”

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

“If so, I’ve never met them. I don’t know why I would. Most of my work isn’t really something you get famous for.”

21. What are you most afraid of?

“That I will grow up to be my mother.”

22. What do you usually wear?

“I like flowy things that don’t slow me down, dresses or loose shirts. Bright colors. I’ve become very fond of some of the Principi fashions here in the Deadfire. Especially the hats. Have you seen the kind of hats pirates wear? Glorious.”

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

“Does coffee count?”

24. Am I annoying you?

“Only a little, dear, but don’t worry about it.”

25. Well, it’s still not over!

“Oh. Lovely.”

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

“I feel like calling myself ‘high class’ is giving myself too much credit,” she laughed, “but I am nobility, if that’s what you mean. My father is an erl and I myself am a thayn in the Dyrwood. Or I was. There was an incident with my keep, I’m afraid, and it’s no longer quite… existing.”

27. How many friends do you have?

“A few. I have traveled with a fair number kith in my time, but only a few I’ve been close enough to call friend.”

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

“Depends on the flavor, I suppose. And I don’t trust meat pies unless they’re very clear exactly what kind of meat is in it. Dyrwoodans are a bit… vague, on occasion.”

29. Favorite drink?

“Red wine and black coffee, depending on the time of day. Mostly coffee.”

30. What’s your favorite place?

“The library in Caed Nua. It’s mostly rubble right now, but we’ll rebuild it someday. Quiet and surrounded by books, maybe with Aloth and a glass or two of wine. Nothing better.”

31. Are you interested in anyone?

“I am in a relationship, as I mentioned earlier. I’m rather confused why you didn’t ask this then.”

32. That was a stupid question…

“There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Unless you’re implying that my answer was stupid, my dear?”

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

“I’d prefer neither, thank you. I’m on rough terms with Ondra even on a good day. But if I had to choose, the ocean. It has tried to drown or freeze me slightly less.”

34. What’s your type?

“Quiet, I suppose. Not quite the right word, but... someone who I can spend a whole day with and not feel exhausted by it. Who will talk with me for hours or that I can just sit with and read in silence. There’s a lot of noise in my head, and not all of it’s mine. And a lot of it that is mine still isn’t really mine. It’s important that they understand that, and even better if they’re able to quiet it a little.” She smiled primly. “But I suppose that’s not really what you’re after, is it? I’m very fond of blue eyes. Strong hands. Intelligence, most of all.”

35. Any fetishes?

“That’s a bit personal, isn’t it, dear?”

36. Camping or outdoors?

“When it’s necessary, I suppose. I think I’d prefer the comfort and safety of my own bed.”
