SWEET AS SUGAR
` . . ââ đčairing luke hughes x female! reader
đą. luke comes to ask his pretty neighbor for some sugar . . . but really he just wants to see her ïœĄïœĄ đc 2218 & fluff oneshot đčart đžne
âčđč this fic is a little birthday gift to my bestie @lesrflms I hope you enjoy it, ily á”á”
âWhat should we make tonight, dumplings or tomato soup?â you hummed as you skimmed through your family-made cookbook, eyes raking over the many different recipes before glancing at your cat moose sitting on his personal stool in your kitchen.Â
He tilted his head animatedly at you as if he was chastising you for even having to ask, making you chuckle and look back at the cookbook, mumbling to yourself âTomato soup it isâÂ
You placed the cookbook on your book stand before picking up your phone to connect your favorite playlist to your speakers, having a habit of having to cook with background noise. You moved around your kitchen smoothly as you started placing the ingredients on your kitchen island, singing along to the wallows song that was playing. Â
Before you could start cutting some tomatoes and garlic, you heard a knock at your door, confusing you since you weren't expecting any guests. Maybe it was Mrs. Shelly, your sweet elderly neighbor who always needed help with her electronics. Moose quickly jumps off his stool and runs into the living room to hide; he is not fond of guests.Â
You set your knife down on your cutting board and pause your music before walking around your kitchen island and to your front door, unlocking it before you slowly open it. Your eyes widen slightly at the unexpected person standing on the other side. You leaned against your door with a small welcoming smile âluke?âÂ
Your eyes settle on the said man who stood in front of you with a shy smile on his lips, wearing a pair of sweatpants and a Michigan University hoodie. Luke's eyes widened slightly, but not in surprise like yours, but in awe. You stood there with a small smile on your lips, clad in a brown sweater, some jeans, and your snoopy cooking apron. He cleared his throat before saying âUh hi, can I um have some of your sugar â I mean borrow, some sugarâÂ
âYou went down a whole level to ask me for a cup of sugar?â you asked slowly as you took in his question, tilting your head and resting it against your door as you watched him shyly nod. This was the first time you had seen him since last week when you first saw him, you were busy with college while he was busy with hockey â an interesting fact you found out about him during your daily texting sessions. Your eyes furrowed and you were quick to ask âHow did you even know my apartment number?âÂ
âI remember you mentioning I was on top of you ââ your eyes widened in humor at his wording while his eyes widened in horror. Luke's hands that were nervously fidgeting in his front hoodie pocket were quick to slip out and shake as he quickly tried to fix his words âMy apartment I mean! â not my body â i umâ Â
âCome in lukeâ you giggled, cutting him off from his nervous ranting. You took a step back and opened your door wider so he could come in. Luke let out a relieved breath and walked into your apartment, slightly taken aback by the warmth and comfort he felt immediately. You closed the door behind him and walked to your kitchen, to get him a cup of sugar.Â
Luke looked around your warm apartment which was a completely different layout than his and Jack's. The kitchen and living room had an open floor plan; he could faintly see a curved doorway trim that led somewhere and a spiral staircase in a corner of the living room that led to the second story. The back wall of the living room was made of brick and had a lot of natural light from the large windows. He noticed a few snoopy collections around the living room. It felt like a home.Â
âHere's your sugarâ your voice broke him out of him admiring your home, luke looked away from a picture frame you had on a shelf, it looked like a family picture. Luke smiled at you and moved closer to the island to grab the small cute container of sugar âOh, thanksâÂ
âSo what are you making?â you asked him as you leaned against the island, a curious smile on your lips as you rested your palms on the quartz countertop. Luke tilted his head slightly in confusion and you couldn't help but chuckle at how endearing he looked. You clarified for him with a slow nod âWith the sugar..âÂ
âOh, umm muffins?â Luke said softly but it came out as more of a question, not confident in his answer. Your eyes light up at his answer, physically perking up at the mention of one of your favorite foods, and honestly, you were a little shocked at the idea of Luke baking muffins, he didn't really give off the impression of knowing how to bake âOh really what kind?â
Luke internally started to panic as he tried to think of a type of muffin, any other day he would be able to name many different types of muffins, but right there under your gaze, his eyes locked with your pretty ones, had his mind going blank. Luke brought one of his hands up to rub at the back of his nape as he answered unconfidently âErmm grapeâÂ
âGrape muffins,â you said slowly as you narrowed your eyes at him, he nodded but you could see he was unsure of his answer. And it was all starting to make sense in your head the more you thought about it. You folded your hands in front of you, tilting your head slightly âYou didn't actually need the sugar did you?âÂ
Luke blushed in slight embarrassment from being caught in his lie, dropping his hand from his nape to also lean forward against your kitchen island. Giving you a bashful smile as he quickly confessed âNo . . . i just â wanted to see youâÂ
Your eyes widened at his unexpectedly sweet confession, you did not expect him to be so forward. Luke was worried that him being forward made you uncomfortable, but really you were just too flustered to know what to say next. In truth, you also really wanted to see him, but your busy schedule just wasn't allowing that. Those nightly texting sessions had quickly become your favorite part of your day.Â
âDo you want to stay for dinner?â you surprised the both of you with the sudden request, you smiled at him as you looked up at him through your eyelashes, you weren't ready for him to leave. Deep inside there was a small part of you that worried about the fact of you enjoying his presence so much, but you were quick to ignore it and push it down, instead focusing on the happy smile Luke had on his face.Â
âIâd love to, let me just let jack know i won't be homeâ luke pulled his phone out of his back pocket to text his older brother, ignoring the way his hands trembled. You smiled and nodded, letting him text his brother while you moved to your pantry, opening it and grabbing one of the few aprons you had hanging inside. Luke slipped his phone back into his pocket, ignoring the several texts from Jack asking who he was with, claiming that Luke's answer âdinner with a friendâ wasn't good enough because he had no friends besides him and their teammates.Â
Luke watched as you approached him with a smile, holding the apron out. He hesitantly grabbed it from your hands, asking slowly âuh what's thatâÂ
âYour apron sillyâ you laughed, Luke didn't question you anymore, slipping it on over his hoodie, a warm feeling spreading across his chest when he noticed it matched yours. You noticed that he was struggling to tie it behind his back so you were quick to walk around the kitchen island to help him âHere let me helpâÂ
âJust so you know, i'm not experienced in the kitchenâ Luke mumbled with a bashful smile, following you to stand by your side at the island once you finished tying his apron for him. You hummed in understanding, sending him a teasing smile âDon't worry, i'll teach you all my secretsâÂ
âIâm looking forward to itâ luke smiled, his tone came out more flirty than he expected, but thankfully you didn't seem to care. You just giggled and dried off your hands after you washed them. Luke moved to stand in front of your sink, washing his hands, and smiling at the cute soap dispenser you had. After washing his hands, he dried them off and turned to look at you, watching as you pulled out another cutting board âWhat's on the menu chef?âÂ
âsoupe Ă la tomateâ you answered in your mother tongue, placing the tomatoes on the cutting boards.Â
âtomato soup?â he guessed with an unsure smile, trying to ignore the funny feeling in his stomach at how attractive you sounded speaking French. Well to be fair, anything you did, he was sure it would be attractive to him. You smiled and handed him a knife âtrĂšs bonâÂ
âI fear that's past my very low level of Frenchâ he chuckled as he watched you move closer to him, his breath hitching when you placed your soft hands over his, showing him how he should properly hold the knife and cut the tomato. You giggled as you translated your last sentence for him âVery goodâÂ
âHave you ever been to a game?â luke asked, turning his head to look at you, taking in your side profile that was illuminated by the oven light. The two of you were sitting on the floor in front of your oven, leaning back against the island as you waited for the right time to take out the homemade garlic cheese bread.Â
The two of you had finished making the tomato soup not too long ago, letting it cool down on the stove while you made sure the bread didn't burn. Luke never really was a fan of cooking, but being by your side, getting to know you better, and sharing the kitchen with you was something he hoped would happen again . . . very soon.Â
âI've been once, my friend ethan is a really big fanâ you answer with a small smile as you look back at the memory, you turn to look at him, giving him a bashful smile as you confess âhonestly i don't understand the game, i just cheer when he doesâÂ
âI can teach you!â Luke eagerly says with a grin, his mind exploding with thoughts of you watching the game, a confused but cute look on your face as you tried to understand. But one thought stuck longer and made his heart beat faster, you at his game, cheering for him and wearing his jersey. He blushes and says a lot softer âIf you want of courseâÂ
âIâd like that, i mean it's the least i could do after bossing you around my kitchen for the past half hourâ You gave him a teasing smile, you honestly looked forward to the idea of him teaching you about the sport he loves so much. Luke chuckles and shakes his head softly, fidgeting with the fabric of his pants as he replies âI enjoyed it, i wouldn't mind doing it againâÂ
âI'll keep that in mindâ you hummed with a small nod, tearing your eyes away from him to look back at the oven, your mouth watering at the sight. The kitchen was filled with comfortable silence for a few moments. You smile and softly bump your shoulder into his arm, teasing him âMaybe next time we can make those grape muffins you were so excited to makeâÂ
Luke scrunches his nose in distaste at the mention of grape muffins before he breaks out into a fit of laughter, you were quick to join him. Your eyes take in his side profile and how cute he looked when he laughed. You really liked the sound of it. He tilted his head back against the island, letting out a happy sigh as he caught his breath from laughing before tilting his head to lock eyes with you âI have a feeling you're never going to let me live that downâÂ
âSorry Hughes but you're stuck with meâ Your lips curved into a teasing smile, not aware of how heavy your words really meant to him. Lukeâs eyes softened and quickly dropped down to your lips, his eyes tracing the pretty curve of your lips before locking eyes with you once again, giving you a charming smile âNo complaints hereâÂ
Your breath hitched at the unwavering eye contact, the strong gazes made you feel like you were in a spell, like you wanted to lean into his touch. A feeling you have never felt before. Neither of you wanted to look away, and neither of you knew what to say next. You couldn't help but feel extremely flustered under his eyes and the words he oh so sweetly said to you. Did he know how he made you feel? Was it obvious? Your thoughts were running in your mind like wildfire, only being saved from them by the obnoxious ding! from the oven.Â
The bread was ready.Â

some thoughts and extra content on my how is your youth? mini-series, where booseoksoon are your youth ⊠stories of the past (soonyoung), present (seokmin), and future (seungkwan).
(1) as mentioned, all titles are from day6's remember us : youth part 2. being a carat x myday strikes again lol. the references are very loose/barely there, but this is one of the first albums i think of when i think of the word 'youth'! it also has some of my favorite day6 songs of all time. (:
(2) when the series was but an idea clanging around in my brain, i went to maplegyu for advice. i gave her an inch ('dk is childhood crush coded'), and in turn, she gave me a mile ('a playmate u met for the summer that impacted ur life but never saw again'). when i say maple has helped me come up with some of my best ideas, i mean it. attaching her review here because it gave me so much joy!
(3) i couldn't find the photos that would pull it off, but i wanted seokmin to show off the rings that he still had from reader ): in my imagination, the rings are the plastic, toy type that you win from a gashapon machine/can buy at the cornerstone/et cetera. some visuals -ish:
(3.1) when reader and seokmin start dating, he starts wearing the ring in a necklace. he also never stops calling reader his 'wife' despite protests.
(4) no better place to drop this, but here's a panel that didn't make it into the final smau because of space/pacing issues! would have been towards the ending. (:
(5) i hadn't intended for lorde's ribs to be a recurring theme throughout the work, but it helped me realize that i wanted each of the readers to have internal conflicts (as much as bss might have). it ended up going as follows:
so cool!reader being scared of growing old
121U!reader holding grudges
days gone by!reader moving on from what-could-have-been's
(6) the first rain of may (referred to as unang ulan ng mayo in my country, and agua de mayo in spanish) is viewed as mentionedâ something that's supposed to be 'healing'. it felt most appropriate to associate with seokmin, who embodies healing in his own way. đ»
(7) the idea of focusing on soonyoung's taekwondo history is once again maple's, and the specifics on the rivalry (i.e. lacing up armor, pulling during stretches, racing during suicides) are all from sarangcoups. i felt very strongly about a childhood!soonyoung being a little bit annoying over having a crushâ the type who mistakenly believed that bullying = affection.
(8) by this point, i started locking in the idea of each boy representing either the past, present, or future, which is laid out more clearly as follows:
seokmin, who associates reader as his youth which he wants in the present
soonyoung, who carried his past with him and learns from it on the daily
seungkwan, who plans to face the future with the love he received from his youth
(9) i realized belatedly that soonyoung's smau is shorter than the others, which is why i tried to compensate with a longer -ish headcanon format. nonetheless, it was fun to explore his voice both in the texts and the written part. he's still a little obnoxious, but it's endearing. out of all the work in the series, this one feels like the one that's likeliest to get more parts (but don't hold me to it! haha).
(10) up until posting, i was on the fence about whether i should conclude seungkwan's story the way that it ended. that's why i ended up publishing it a couple days off 'schedule', primarily because i had to contemplate whether i was cheating seungkwan out of a 'happy ending' because soonyoung/seokmin got theirs.
and so maybe that's why i feel like i have a soft spot for this particular verse now because it helped me remember something important: romantic love is not the end all be all. a happy ending is still possible without it. how foolish of me to forget that, and how apt is it for me to be reminded with a story of seungkwan when it's something he would very easily tell people in a heartbeat.
(11) the alternate romantic ending would have still featured a similar line wherein seungkwan insists that 'kwannie' belongs to reader, but i pulled it out at the last minute when i realizedâ 'kwannie' doesn't exist anymore. it's a past version of him, one that the reader has maybe romanticized in her head. so, yes.
high school almost-lover 'kwannie' is reader's, but present-day 'seungkwan' is not.
(12) MOAs might recognize this, but the last line of seungkwan's interview is from a well-known soobin quote. it's something i think of constantly, and i feel like it's also something that seungkwan himself would believe in.
(13) another slide i cut for space reasons (replaced with seungkwan's '27' tweet):
it was posed as a gentle reminder from reader -> seungkwan that, as the lyric goes, life has just begun. it's also a prompt for him to not pick up only on the sad parts of the song/life, when the good lyric/part is in the very next breath.
tl;dr, your youth is whatever you want it to be. whether you are stuck in the past, living in the present, or afraid of the futureâ know that there is a love that waits, and it will be a good love. i promise you that.
like i always say: this story was mine once, but it's all yours now. â„ thank you for reading along, and happy bss comeback szn!
how is your youth? đą a booseoksoon three-parter.
three independent smaus featuring booseoksoon, who you've had the pleasure of knowing throughout various stages of your life. or: verses where bss are your youth.
â synopses under the cut. aus will be linked back here once posted. happy bss comeback season, everyone!
do you remember...
so cool âź seokmin x reader.
... the kid you pretend-married on the playground? you were only 'spouses' for one summer, but you have the photographic evidence to prove it. it would be nice to know how he's doing, right?
121U âź soonyoung x reader.
... the annoying guy from your after-school taekwondo class? you hated his guts. you don't even really care much for the sport anymore; you just want to get back at him for making your life a living hell.
days gone by âź seungkwan x reader.
... your first love from high school? sure, you never really dated him, but your feelings were very much valid. whether they've stood the test of time is the real questionâ and it looks like you're about to to get some answers.
with love, kae â a very special shoutout to the best of the best, @maplegyu, for helping me brainstorm some of these (..âáŽâ..) starting the year with bss, lfg!
all titles are from day6's remember us : youth part 2.

2024 fandom review
thank you for the tag @nerdyfangirl76 and @almostlake đ
warning: this got really long
fics written
in 2024, i posted 3 finished fics and one currently on-going WIP. in total that was 122,542 words and i keep looking at that number in complete disbelief.
i started the year by saying, multiple times, i'm not going to write anything because it's been nearly a decade since i wrote for fun. then i had an idea and was all "well, maybe if i wrote this one short thing, posted it and then dipped never to be seen again". insert my friend laughing at me at regular intervals because we all know that's not what happened.
always losing to win is very dear to me, for several reasons, and it'll never stop blowing my mind how many people have read it and been on that journey with me.
fics read
my AO3 history is about 300 fics, but i did not sort out my logins until months into the year, so the actual number is probably somewhere closer to 350.
i tried to pick a few favourite fics i read and limiting myself to just these is hard. i regret to say none of these have received the praise, comments and love from me that they deserve, because it took me months to get over my comment shyness. but i hope this makes up for it a bit. (new year's resolution: more comments for everyone.) in alphabetical order by title:
almost is never enough by @in-amor-veritas
there's a scene in this with kent's 747 that i have the strongest, plot-wise most insignificant headcanon about and i think about it every time i hear the song. which is often. and then i end up thinking about the whole story.
another dose by stargazers
it's such a beautiful version of wilmon, because it's so them. and it's hot.
chasing our sunlight by fitz_y
if there ever was a fic that lives rent free in my head, it's this. the way it deals with so many heavy topics has made me cry, but it's such an incredibly crafted story i come back to it often.
forever i'm yours by @goldenwilmon
the way the fall in love in this one? hands down one of my favourites ever. whenever i need some fluff and happiness in my life, this is the one i go for.
little light by @unfortunate17
possibly one of the first, if not the first, wilmon fic i read in 2024. it broke something in me, but also healed something in me.
reckless abandon by @zee-has-commitment-issues
i absolutely love the concept and the way all the characters are so well-rounded. one of the fics i could not stop reading and can't wait to read again.
so loaded, eye low by @enjoythesilentworld
the chemistry, the angst. the sweet, delicious angst. and hot as hell.
where be left off by @gulliblelemon
the best way for me to fight some physical pain? some emotional pain. and this one has it, in the best, most beautiful way. very few fics have i devoured like i did this one.
the wolf comes home by @phneltwrites
after months, i still keep thinking about a particular line in this one. the trauma aftermath, the way they deal with it. also my favourite established relationship wilmon.
looking forward to in 2025
i can't wait to read and see all the amazing fics and gifs and edits and everything this fandom comes up with. i already know there'll be so many wonderful things i'll enjoy.
as for my own writing, i'm trying to get a good chunk of hope and legacy written before the insanity that'll be my life from late january to the end of february. (no context chapter 4 spoiler: simon steals a flag.)
there is also in from the cold, the espionage AU i have about 10K written for - and that's barely the beginning. i don't know if it'll ever see the light of day, but i do love the concept and all the research i've done for it.
i have been thinking about space wilmon lately, and while i said i'm not going to go down that road myself, i did remember a few lines from record of a spaceborn few that may have sparked an idea. it might become something one day, or it might never be more than the few disjointed lines and ideas i have typed in my notes.
there's also a file with a list of songs that i might want to build stories around. in general i have a lot of ideas, but very few of them might become anything. i'd like to put it down as "english is not my first language so writing is slow" thing, and while it is that too, it's mostly me being a perfectionist and not able to let go. (which is why i should probably have a beta telling me 'this is fine, go post it'. if anyone feels up for doing that...)
the biggest, warmest thank you to everyone who's read anything i've written, left kudos or comments, sent messages, in any way engaged. it has made my year, and this fandom experience so special đ
not tagging anyone, but if any of the authors i mentioned haven't done this yet and would like to, i'd love to read your reviews.

Kiss the girl
Liam Gallagher x fem!reader
Summary:
Warnings: bit of angst, Liam calling Noel a cunt, bad flirting, making out,
Wordcount: 1.6k
Masterlist, Part 1, Part 3
Standing behind the little curtain that separated the backstage area and the bar, Liam felt that his palms were sweatier than ever before. His eyes always finding their way back to the same person, leaning with their back against the bar. Waiting like everyone else. She stood next to him, lips moving in conversation and quirking up in a smile every once in a while.
âWhoâs that beside your bird, Gallagher?â Guigsy asked, peeking out beside him, noticing the distant look in his eyes.
âNoel, me brother. Remember him?â Liam had told them endless stories about his childhood with Noel, mostly to complain whenever he called and his mother was all over him once more.
âThink youâve mentioned him, yeah.â The sarcasm evident in his tone. âLetâs get it on.â
It wasnât like Noel came in there that night without any expectations. He did, only that they were pretty low. Liam had asked him to stop by to see them play, to see him sing and eventually to make him join the band. It wasnât his first thought, it wasnât even in his head until Bonehead proposed the idea, sensing that most of their songs were either shit or covers.
He knew how Noel could get, how he most definitely wanted to make it his band if he was in it. At the beginning they agreed that it was their band, everyone had a say in it. Noel would most likely change that.
The lights seemed brighter than ever before as he stepped out of the shadows. The cheers were drowned by his nerves. He had never felt like this before. His usual over confidence was still behind the curtain, laughing at him as it saw the little hints of fear shimmering in his eyes.
Looking over the crowd once more, counting until his start, he found his way back towards the same direction. Only now, his eyes were drawn to the girl next to Noel. The one who was looking up at him with a faint encouraging smile dancing on her lips while her head bobbed to the beat of the drums. The one who he couldnât get out of his head since the day at the bar. The one who had him tossing and turning late at night when he couldnât sleep and just saw her face instead of darkness.
A small smile found itâs way on his face before he closed his eyes, leaned forward a bit more and started singing.
âYou seemed nervous up there,â she commented, her mind travelling back towards him standing on the little stage. His lips so close to the mic that it felt like she could feel his breath through the speakers and down her spine. Sending a shock of lightning through her system and making her shiver in the middle of sweating bodies.
They were stood outside, watching the moon instead of walking towards her house like they should be.
After his performance, Liam was greeted by his friends first, claps on his back and âfucking hell, you murdered it up thereâ falling from their mouths like normal âgood jobâs would sound to anyone else. He appreciated the praise, though heâd heard it from them too often to actually still believe he was as good as they said. They had no idea about music anyway.
Fighting his way through the little crowd surrounding him, he made it towards her. âYou wanna go home?â falling from his lips, making her nod. He acknowledged Noel with a small nod of his head before walking after her, his hand sitting on the small of her back to get her safely through the crowd. Sheâd told him, that she couldnât stay long after and he promised to walk her home as soon as he was done with the show.
So now they stood in the middle of the street, both looking up at the moon.
âMe brotherâs back, said he was coming to see me sing, though I doubted he would actually stop by,â he said, his voice quieter than ever before. He didnât need to be so loud now that he was stood so close to her with only silence and a few mild sounds surrounding them.
âNoel, right?â His eyes snapped towards her, surprised that she knew his name. âWe had a little chat before your performance and he let it slip. He seems nice.â
âHeâs a cunt,â Liam corrected her, looking back up at the bright bulb of light lingering over their heads like a spotlight.
âBut you still care about his opinion.â
âI donât.â
âThen why were you so nervous about playing in front of him?â Her eyebrows moved up as she knew that she wasnât wrong, she never was. Looking at the small smirk on her lips as she realized sheâd won the argument, Liam just wanted to lean down and kiss it away. Replacing it with the shy look she gave him when he cleaned the foam from her face and the blush on her cheeks, that appeared because of him.
Taking in a deep breath, he began rambling to keep the other thoughts away. âHeâs always been better than me, alright? Always the favourite child, always the one everyone liked more. People like me but they donât care about me how they do with Noel. Iâm just some passing by for when youâre bored. He likes music for way longer than I do, wanted to be in a band and all that. Never got there though, always just a roadie never a part of the band. Now, the others said that we should take him in because heâs a good writer and he can play guitar, all that nonsense. Heâll just ruin it all if he joins.â
âWell, see me as someone whoâs willing to stay with you then.â
It was a simple sentence, nothing meant beyond friendship. Still it made his heart jump a beat, a loud tone of silence replacing every other thought in his head. God, why did she have to be so perfect?
âDonât you write as well?â He asked, remembering the little poems she used to write in their English class. Too afraid to ever read them out loud and too ashamed of her own thoughts to let them be read by anyone else.
âOnly poems, not songs.â
âSo, youâre a poet?â The smirk she knew all too well by now appeared on his face as he started teasing her again. His eyes crinkling as he held back a laugh.
âNo. Just a girl with lots of feelings.â Exhaling deeply, she made it sound more dramatic than it was meant to be.
âThatâs nice though, innit? Having things feel important enough to wanna make them last forever?â Liam always envied Noel for having such a talent with words,
âQuite a poet yourself, I see.â
âNah, love. Thatâs all you.â Turning towards her, Liam pushed his hands in the pockets of his jacket. Smiling softer than sheâd ever seen. âYou make a poet.â It was nothing more above a whisper, but with how close he stood, she could even feel his breath fan down her cheeks.
Turning her head away from him, she cleared her throat. This wasnât what he intended to keep on doing. However sweet it may seem, it was only an act, right?
âAnyway, who cares about guitarists anyway? Iâve seen this band one or two years back, âSeymourâ - I think theyâre called âBlurâ now or summat. Doesnât matter. Do you think they were all over their guitarist? Hell no. Every girl in that crowd only had eyes for their singer.â
âYou as well?â He asked, stepping closer to get her attention back. Not satisfied with only her hearing, he wanted her all. Every little piece and space of her mind, he wanted for it to be occupied by him.
âNo comment on that.â A blush crept up her neck, not quite reaching her face but it was enough to make him chuckle and feel a bit of jealousy prickle up in him at the same time.
âSo, you like lead-singers, huh?â
âI liked him,â she said, looking at him challenging. Her eyes sparkling with mischievous.
âI like you.â
Before she could properly process his word, she felt his hands on her neck and his lips on hers. His hold making her turn her body towards him fully. The force of his grip making her stumble towards him, her hands resting on his chest to stable herself.
Moving his lips against hers, he noticed his mistake as soon as their lips met. How was he supposed to stop now? With her soft, warm lips fitting so perfectly to his chapped, cold ones that made it feel like it was meant to be like that forever, how was he supposed to not kiss her again after that night?
âYouâre a dickhead, Liam,â she mumbled against his lips, not wanting to part but the fresh air in her lungs felt like cold water running down her throat as she breathed in, panting.
âNo need to compliment me already, love. Iâve only kissed you once yet.â Liam smiled, not loosening his hold on her face. Leaning their foreheads together and closing his eyes in contempt of the moment.
âSo thereâs gonna be more of that?â He could hear the smirk in her voice. Chuckling at the image of how they must look to someone walking by. Two idiots standing in the middle of the street.
If theyâd die, at least theyâd die together.
Moving her hands down his chest and under his shirt, she could feel his heartbeat drumming against her fingertips. Her usual warm skin feeling cold against his. Liam was filled with true warmth for the first time in his life and it was all due to her. He was doomed and he knew it.
âWay more.â

Writers block..? SAME! Iâve had this idea for WEEKS and just never write it lol.
So imagine thereâs this like legend of The Great Targaryen (reader) who lived before Rhanerya and them and she was called The Great Targaryen because she commanded like 4 dragons instead of one. (kinda like Daenerys)
So maybe she was like so powerful or whatnot a witch (idk if they rly had those back then but like, thereâs dragons so bare with me lol) cast her to sleep, saying sheâll only awake in 100 years OR SOMETHING IDK YET.
But anyways, team black realizes that if they want to win theyâll need her or something so they go looking.
The find her asleep in a cave off the coast somewhere and somehow she wakes up (havenât rly gotten there yet) and theyâre all like woahhhh but she has no dragons?
They get to the top of the cliff and she kinda just faces out towards the ocean and stands there, everyone is confused. She raises her arms like A GODDESS and BOOM flying out of the ocean is DRAGONS!!!
Idk itâs a really weird concept but I had a dream like that and thatâs where this came from lol.
Watcha think???
The Dragon Tamer
House of the Dragon x OC!Female!Character
Warnings: mentions of child loss, death, destruction and disease.
Characters that are my own: Efflestead the Warrior, Alina the Dragon Tamer/Demon Queen, Jocelyn the Great
A/N: I have never written something like this before and I looooved doing it <3 part two?
MINORS DNI 18+
đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
Many tales graced the darkened walls of Westeros. They flew, invisibly, through the air as folk songs or poems; they were words, spoken from generation to generation. Efflesteadâs siege on the North, battling it to great victory until all that was left was rubble and dirt and dead bodies. He was celebrated, a day commemorated to him and how he savagely killed thousands of innocents for being in his war path to the Iron Throne. He was crowned on the 10th of the Third Month, creating catastrophe and violence in his stead. But no one remembers that part. They donât remember how he killed his way to the top, tortured those who dared to whisper in the corners of every house, how he employed spies who couldâve well been your father or brother and they would let loose their secrets and youâd be on the Wall within the hour. Most people remember him as Efflestead the Warrior King, a family man with fifteen children of his own, all just as ghastly as he was, a man of great honour - being with his wife for more than 40 years, but everyone forgot he had mistresses and often beat his wife to the point she lost more than five children. No, people forget the bad parts because they want a story they can be proud of. Efflesteadâs children went on to become monarchs, Heiron being the first and rather boring King, contracting Green Fever before the Winter. Jocelyn became Queen after he died, she was a beauty, to all accounts of people who knew her but, of course, when she was murdered in the comfort of her own bed; her own brother, Aegon, was the one who distributed horrific lies and propaganda. She was a witch and bewitched a plague amongst the Smallfolk with her sixth finger and long, hanging nose that drooped over her upper lip. No one remembers that she was kind and generous to the Smallfolk, no one remembers that she cared for the health of her people and sought to change all of it.
History and myth are not kind to those who actually do good, they would rather remember those with an intriguing story that they can pick apart and leave out the bad bits.
There was one though, no recollection in any chronicle of history, no written records, just a song. Sung in the streets of the Red Keep.
A dragon descended upon the River;
His claws long and his mind clever;
A woman with eyes so black;
Came onto the shore with a crack;
She said, âWho hath come to fight?â;
When one man stepped forth, she cackled to the night;
âIs that all you have?â And so she unleashed her fury onto the innocence;
Letting them have her anguish and misguidance;
Four wild beasts arose from the dark;
Fire, blood and fury from their violent arc;
She tried, as she must, to fight with her life;
But the Smallfolk were full of strife;
They killed her with one switch of a blade;
And off her head rolled in the shade;
They rejoiced and called out;
âAt last, the Demon Queen is dead! And so she will be forever at rest!â
Of course, the Smallfolk only knew the lines to a wretched song that kids would learn as they grew up in the parks and the bakeries. They would be told the Demon Queen will have you for supper! If they forbade any law. But, of course, the Demon Queen was more than a ruthless woman. First of all, she had a name⊠Alina Targaryen. Born to the bastard grandson of Efflestead. She was known to be a beauty, long white hair always in a braided crown, dresses that puffed around her and always glided along with her. She was kind, generous and full of wit. Many men wanted to have a slice of her, but she never allowed it, she kept herself neat and tidy for any man that would marry her.
She never did marry.
Instead found her love elsewhere. With multicoloured eggs that she grew with affection and suddenly⊠she was the most powerful woman in Westeros.
Being so powerful, she became a target. A target for war, for assassination, for love and temptation. But she hid out in the caves, away from human life and settled with her dragons. The song got one thing right, she did tame four dragons, she loyally loved each dragon.
Fate is a funny thing. It is whatâs meant for you, even if itâs not what you want. Alina didnât want to sleep for one hundred years, she was completely oblivious to it until the day came when the waves crashed harshly against the cave, the dragons looked at her with perplexity and so, being the brave soul she was, she opted to explore on foot. The grey waves curled up into the sky with every crash against the rock, she clung to the edge as she watched spurts of water form a woman, no eyes and no mouth, just a plain black face with wispy hair like a witch. Alone and cold, the witch whispered under her breath that sent Alina into a sleep, never to be heard from again. Until Westeros went to shit.
Around the Queensâ table at Dragonstone, Daemon sat with his elbows propped up, chewing onto his fingernails as Rhaenyra stood, stoic and strangely calm whilst Rhaeyna spoke of the dangerous plans the Greens have for Dragonstone.
âHe will surely arrive with Vhagar, even with the three dragons we have cannot take her on. We all know that.â She said, sitting straight. Daemon looked up at her worried face before switching to Rhaenyraâs face, she was deep in thought, Jace behind her, pacing up and down.
âJace, stop. I canât think right now.â Daemon ordered, but Jace didnât stop. He rarely answered to his step father, he was deep in thought like the rest of the room. A hanging shadow was hanging over Dragonstone with Aemondâs threat to burn it to the ground. The Blacks may have the Dragon Queen but the Gods themselves couldnât defend Dragonstone against Vhagar.
âYou knowâŠâ Jace trailed off, Daemon looked at him disinterested. Rhaenyra turned her head slightly towards him, as he thought of his next words.
âWhat is it, Jace?â Rhaenyra spoke, slightly impatient.
âAlina Targaryen.â He said. Everyone exchanged glances, some confused, some surprised. They hadnât heard that name in ages and perhaps some people had never heard it before.
âSheâs been dead for 130 years.â Daemon said, matter of fact.
There had been a grumbling amongst the smallfolk, something was occurring and no one had the answer and it was something bigger than Aemond and Vhagar. The grumbling was like something was rising, coming alive and word on the street was Alina was planning to come back to slay all the sinners. She had not yet made an appearance.
âThe prophecy. There was a prophecy.â Jace pointed out even though he couldnât remember the full details of said prophecy.
âYes. They said Alina was to die amongst her dragons, safe within the caves in the North, to protect the eggs of the future but if she was to come alive we would have to gain dragon fire.â Rhaenyra said impatiently, crossing her arms and not looking at her son. âIt could never work, Jace.â
Later that night, Jace awoke in his bed from a fitful dream of Vhagar tearing his home to shreds and he knew he had to do something about it. The prophecy of Alina Targaryen was difficult but it was not impossible. Many people at the time did not own dragons or their dragons werenât used for warfare, just simple fun, so of course the prophecy would be hard. He wrapped a warm robe around his body, keeping the cold chill at bay, thinking over his plans as his bare feet slapped against the stone flooring. His mind was on Alina, the beautiful blonde that was etched into law scriptures, there had even been an execution method in her style for those less fortunate: partially burned by dragon fire and then strangled over several days. It was a gruesome way to end and many people had been subjected to it.
Vermax was asleep when Jace entered the Dragon Pit, he watched him for a while before whistling to awaken him. Vermax was always grumpy when he woke up but actively being woke up was a whole new level of grumpy so Jace was in for a long, long night. In High Velarian, he told Vermax of the old prophecy, of the High and Mighty Alina Targaryen who could help them from being torn into pieces.
Deep within the breathing caves, Alina was still, flat on her back on a spacious rock table; her hands clasped at her stomach, still in her riding gear; her peach coloured mouth relaxed into a soft line; her halo hair scattered around her like a wave as Jace began commanding Vermaxâs fire, miles away from the caves. The walls began to move, shaking ever so slightly at every will Jace gave to his dragon and with that push, Alina began to rouse. Not awaking properly, her eyes hadnât opened but her toes squeezed against her leather sandals as Vermax breathed his hot rage into a vat of iron; quickly, Jace covered the top, burning himself but keeping the fire closed within the jar. He couldâve sworn Vermax rolled his eyes when he thanked him and ran off.
Rhaenyra hardly slept. It wasnât uncommon. There was much to think about. She was sat at her desk, rifling through some parchments when her eldest son came battling through the door; evidently struggling with his barrel.
âWhat in the Seven Gods have you got there?â Rhaenyra asked, standing up.
âItâs a vat of fire, Lady Mother. For the prophecy.â He was so unfit.
âThe prophecy wonât work, Jace. Donât be a fool and fall for it. Alina was killed by a Sea Devil. It is in the history books.â She batted her hand away and sat down, not wishing to listen to him.
âMother, when I was commanding Vermax, it felt like something awoke within me. I could feel this cold chill run right through me, Iâm telling you, I donât think this prophecy is fake.â
âYou felt the cold chill because itâs midnight and itâs cold and youâre wearing nothing. Go to bed. I donât want to hear about it anymore.â Defeated, Jace dragged his vat of fire back to his room.
Defeated by his mother he may be. But something happened and it was unmistakable. So when day broke, he climbed onto the back of Vermax and rode off into the North.
The cave was located amongst a rocky terrain, hidden behind a jagged rock that had dried blood, possibly Alinaâs, coated over the tips. The waves crashed against the rocks as Vermax flew onto the hanging cliff, denying to put himself and his rider in danger on the rocks. Jace sighed, noticing the jagged rock, his vat of fire on his back as he slowly, incredibly slowly, bum shuffled down onto a flat rock just to the side of the cave, trying to find a different way to enter but the gap between the rocks was too small, even though he was a particularly skinny young man, he could not fit between them. So he had to go around, the wind whipped around his hair, flowing it into all directions as he clutched onto the sharp edge of the jagged rock, cutting diagonally across his palm as he hauled himself onto a small foot cove when his toes fit perfectly. The waves crashed against him, throwing him into the rock at full speed, cutting the side of his face. He groaned into the cup of his hand, trying to keep his composure as the pain seared through him. Once the waves had ceased for just a moment, adrenaline shot through him and he jumped from the foot cove onto the flat surface at the entrance of the cave.
There was a few spots of water, deep enough to drown in, due to the land shifting over the century she had been dead. At first it was dark, he couldnât see his own hand in front of his face but slowly a light was forming in front of him. Two fawn columns created an archway where a beam of yellow light flooded onto a flat rock, washing over the body of a still woman who was wiggling her toes and small groans escaping her pursed mouth.
âAlina.â He whispered, running towards the rock and finding a beautiful woman, forever twenty three in front of him. The Great Dragon Tamer. Alina Targaryen. He opened the vat ever so slowly, wondering what would happen if the fire was to consume her surroundings, whether she would come to life again. The fire cascaded up and above, touching stalactites and flowing over, somehow it did not touch Alina or Jace and he watched as the Dragon Tamer twitched her eyes. He knelt down beside her, watching her intently as her pale grey eyes opened and took in the fire above her.
The prophecy had worked. The second Alina saw Jace, she shot to her feet, her hand on the sword attached to her leather belt.
âWho are you?â She asked, her voice rough after a century of non speaking.
âIâm Jace⊠Jace Velarion.â He stumbled across his words, straightening to his feet. Her face was thunderous, her lips straight and almost snarling as she took him in.
âYou work at sea.â She spat. âHave you come to kill me once and for all, Jace Velarion?â She unsheathed her sword, the glinting point at his face.
âNo, itâs not like that.â He cleared his throat. âI am the son of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. I have come to ask for help.â Her sword lowered ever so gently as she inquired him with her eyes, narrowing them and looking him up and down.
âA Targaryen Queen? You must be a bastard. Whereâs your white hair?â She was vaguely amused by this. In normal circumstances, Jace would not be able to control his anger and although he could feel it bubbling, he didnât want to say anything; this moment couldnât be ruined.
âWe are under threat. Itâs complicated but Queen Rhaenyra is technically Queen of Dragonstone but she is the rightful Queen of Westeros, in the Red Keep. But her younger half brother plotted against her, the Hightowers, and now he is on the throne and thereâs a threat Vhagar and his bastard rider will detonate us all. We need you.â
âThe Hightowers.â She spat, tucking her sword back into her sheath. âIâve always hated them.â She slapped her thighs, she was incredibly masculine, and drove herself to the entrance of the cave. Jace watched in awe as she screamed in Old Valyrian, something he couldnât understand himself and saw four dragons rise from the rocks. They had been disguised for 130 years as these jagged rocks, the ones that Jace cut himself on, they roared and they were ten times bigger than Vermax. The wind blew in at a high speed when Alina turned around, a mischievous glint in her eye and the first smile he had seen.
âAre you ready, Prince Jace?â

Get to Know Me Better
Thank you so much for the tag @itmeansiris!
Last Song: "Do You Believe In Magic" by The Lovin Spoonful wakes me up most mornings and did today. It's just a bop that says 'Get up, smile or something, and dance a bit after coffee.'
Favorite Color: I don't have one! I have colours I don't like (that awful greenish-brown hair colour from Sims 3 for one and there doesn't need to be so many shades of black in my opinion), but the world is better in multicolour!
(Yes, I DO cry when I watch those 'got my dad glasses to see colour for the first time!' vids and these 60-year-old gruff men realize how beautiful colours truly are.)
Last Movie: We watched a bunch of movies over Christmas - Remember the Night, Edward Scissorhands, Wizard of Oz. Remember the Night was the only one I hadn't seen before but I love Jimmy Stewart and I'll watch him in anything - even Vertigo, despite the fact Kim Novak's acting gives me hives.
Last Book: simblr counts, so your story was the last! Yes, you reading this!) But last actual book I read was Spell Ya Later by Zoe Shae and the final draft of my own second novel (which I may never release, we shall see but releasing your own book ain't cheap) before I sent it to an editor!
Sweet, Spicy or Savory: mmmm... umami (so basically all!) but I have moods for sweet and savoury fairly often. Spicy I don't crave but I like it!
Last Thing I Googled: "Who owns Etsy?" (Black Rock and Vanguard wheee!)
Current Obsession: simblr and the story I'm playing and writing that's become very inspired by simblr!!
Looking Forward To: playing with ballerinas the next time I load up the game, hopefully!!
I tag: @hashimasims @changingplumbob @matchalovertrait @purplesimmer455 @oimygiblets @hellgirl-ix @strawberriesnpopmusic @simscici @dreamyyesenia @simmora and anyone else who wants to do this one! Ignore if you like, and if you're not tagged and want to, I'm tagging you anyway. I'm such an awkward bean about tags. đ€Š

MLCB Concert: XSY's Farewell
In truth, I really donât like this part, because it also represents that we are bidding our characters farewell for good.
In the morning, when I was getting my makeup done - in an instant, I returned to that summer. I felt that, to be together with good friends, and then having experienced as sweltering a summer as thatâŠ
Such an ardently hot-blooded jianghu was presented to everyone; to stand here today-- Because⊠Because, during the time of Mysterious Lotus Casebookâs initial broadcast, everyone and all the lianluorens must also be thanked. I know there must have been a lot of difficulties when it was first broadcasted, right? To have reached this step today, I think is already very good. I think it is a result of every personâs hard work.
Just now, when we were off-stage, Yan-laoshi said something I really like; in an instant, I lost my composure. I donât think fate is something that will come with enough waiting, or something that can be insisted on having. Itâs when there comes a day where we stand together and work hard to strive toward a common goal. The sentiments of that moment, I feel, last forever.
I hope, however many years later, everyone is still together - that lianluorens can still be together. Thank you, everyone. This summer, thank you to every person. Thank you to all my good companions; thank you, every single person.
Di Feisheng! Until we meet again!
ăèČè±æ„ŒæŒć±äŒă Mysterious Lotus Casebook Concert - 20230916
æ±æčè·Żèż Â ć±±é«æ°ŽéżÂ ç„ ăçčćă 䌌éŠïŒ The roads of the jianghu stretch far; the mountains are lofty, and the rivers are long. I wish your future to be as splendid as an embroidered tapestry! ăèżœć
ă èèĄÂ äžèŽććżÂ æż æ°žçéŸćżïŒ Chase the light as you journey; live up to the original intentions of your heart. I hope this will be unforgettable for your lifetime!
Any mistakes are my own.
#mysterious lotus casebook#èČè±æ„Œ#di feisheng#xiao shunyao#my translation#i doubt his studio purposefully intended to allude to FDB's goodbye video bc a lot of wuxia/jianghu sayings are all the same BUT#it makes me feel things nonetheless that there exist so many similarities#éć±±äžæčăç»żæ°Žéżæ”ăćäŒææ#the jianghu is full of reunions; we will surely meet again#æ°žçéŸćż: i hope you won't forget this story; i hope you won't forget your friendships#äžćżććż#æ°žçéŸćż: a promise made with a life - i will always remember you#come the next life we must meet again#i also really like what he said: çŒćäžæŻçæ„çăäžæŻćŻä»„èŠæ„ç#if anyone wants some casual reading you should check out the wikipedia page for yuanfen lol#the more i ferment and ruminate the less i feel like âfateâ is an adequate translation#but it's the most popular one#oh and if it wasn't clear enough lol his studio posted puns using the songs he performed

strangely ironic that one of my moms favourite songs is about cheating when she also still says part of the divorce was bc my dad was cheating, something that he denies to this day and that she brings up at every opportunity unprompted and will probably still make a talking point on her deathbed
#like idk what really happened i was 10 and idgaf at this point but its just. she says the song is so beautiful and romantic like okay! đđ»#remember when you told 11 year old me you wish he was dead and that hes the reason my life is falling apart and asked me to ask my school#friends if they saw the mom of this girl two grades below me with my dad before bc they may or may not have had a thing during the last yea#r of your marriage. remember when you sat down with me for hours every day crying about what an evil and fucked up person he is for doing#this to you. explain to me why the story in the song of a man dating a married woman seems romantic and beautiful to you answer quick#soph txts#txt#like really im over it all dont worry but its so djgkndkf its really not that deep im just giving her a very heavy side eye#the song is cordula grĂŒn btw like ill admit it starts pretty cute but i dont get why the cheating part had to be in there like.#added nothing. just makes the song unappealing now imo

the really beautiful landscape/skyscape animation in makoto shinkai's works tends to be the big thing i see focused on and that is understandable and deserved like the weather and lighting effects are unREAL but i do think we should also appreciate how absolute insane the plotlines of his original movies get. at least two movies with in universe catastrophes with major ecological implications. the guns and explosions. theres that one movie i havent seen yet with the guy who turns into a chair (?)
#just watched weathering with you. it was really good. REALLY good#i remember when it came out people were saying it was better than your name. but now it seems the general opinion switched?#your name changed my brain chemistry and outlook on life. i think weathering with you may do the same#so to me i think they're like on pare with eachother. i dont know if i can choose which is my fav now LOL#they are sisters to me..... sisters to me...... quick review below watch out for spoilers#i dont think i'll be too detailed but i do also just recommend watching it its a great movie#I DID like the soundtrack in your name a BIT better like the score had a few more hooks for me and i loved all the insert songs#while in wwy i liked the last three inserts but the first couple didnt really grab me. but its all radwimps so its all good LOL#the side characters in wwy were so good tho like i loved all the cast so much#of course i adored the main characters of your name and wwy both. but the side cast in wwy ruled i think i'll remember them for a long time#the taki jumpscare was also great. my boy was here. my boy was here. just for a minute#i also adored how unhinged the main character of wwy was. hodaka was like. a bit unwell? HJKDJHKFD i thought it was great#weird and quiet but desperately a bit violent in a way that i think was very relatable#i also loved the like. message? sorry that sounds sappy but i liked that like the story was kind of like#coming to hina who is working so hard and forced by herself and circumstance to grow up so early and sacrifice so much#and grabbing her by the shoulders and telling her YOU CAN LIVE!!! YOU CAN HAVE FUN!!! ITS OKAY!!!!!!#i think it was so sweet and such a strong sentiment. wonderful movie. also there was guns and i was so scared#i think that might actually by why i love how high stakes the plots get in these movies like the character design and personalities are so#real and down to earth so when you go to the beautiful planetary skyscapes and also the exploding vehicals you get like so in awe or scared#it does also make me laugh tho now thinking about the your name nendos. you can just barely make nendos of them. you cannot make a nendo of#hodaka. hina maybe. but not hodaka. he is. some guy. the most some guy. visually at least. mentally hes got. something happening <3#loved him so much. hes normal. hes normal. oh they did make some popup parades thats cute#altho it is a bit funny looking. that is just like two normal teenagers JHKLDSHKFDLSafdjksd#anyway next up i'll probably watch the chair movie. ive heard a couple songs from it and they were pretty good so im excited#it also makes me realize i need to watch more of his back catalogue other than 5cm.... he has way more movies than i remembered#i hope someday he gets to make the yuri movie he wanted to. it would be unreal. huge beautiful skys. ecological disasters. girls kissing#oh i hope he gets to do it one day..... one day.....#EDIT: WAIT THEY DID MAKE A NENDO OF HODAKA AND HINA.... LIKE FULL NENDOS NOT EVEN PETITE.....#HODAKA REALLY DOES JUST LOOK LIKE SOME DUDE.... AWESOME

Randomly remembered the half-reason i call my oc-verse by the name it has while laying in bed. One-half of the reason i still knew, but I had forgotten what had truly, really cemented it jointly until now
(it was a song from my favourite band I haven't listened to in a while.)
(the song fit so well at the time, still does, that i needed to hold onto it for the main protagonists forever, by partially naming their story in reference.)
Does this explanation make any sense? Does anyone know why I'm tearing up remembering this. Aahh
#(I'm emotional because I've been feeling bad about it all lately. enjoying things I make I meanâart or ocs or frivilous things.)#(So remembering that song and when it came out. That I couldn't see them in person. But i held onto it my own way. As something I loved)#(Something I still do love a lot... Parts of me saying noâyou don't hate it. No. I'll help you remember more. I'm a little misty about it.)#The song is just The Killers - Run For Cover. I couldn't see them in person all those years agoâfamily went without me.#All my new oc rework with Zin and Hunter and Caia were like a year old or so.#It's a little silly. But the character Zin's derived from was a lightning mage so I stuck to itâI like monhun's zinogre for what its worth#So there's recurring theme and imagery. Thunder's not lightning but the sound and the feeling after the flash the flame and strike.#There's that meaningful thoughtâthe story is the aftermath of a big tragedy. It matches what I like in monsters and other chars.#And at that timeâmy favourite band I missed out on puts out a really good song I download everywhere and it goes like:#He motioned me to the sky/ I heard heaven and thunder cry/ Run for cover/ Run while you can baby don't look back/ You gotta run for cover#And it goes on of course. The rest of the song's still really good. There's more that fits but point is; More evocative imagery.#So there. Why my bundle of OCsâZinadia Hunter and Caia's storyâis called Thunder 20XX. minus the 20XX. That's tongue-in-cheek#About some day I'll manage to make something tangeable or broadly shareable with them. I guarentee this century!#Thunder... oh my darling Thunder. Eight years man.

#just randomly thinking about how relatable La La Land is to me#getting to know your soulmate and not being able to make things work#and somehow still loving them in spite of...#well in spite of the distance and time and so many other factors#and how loving them hurts but at the same time makes you happy#and how you'd live your story with them all over again even if it ends the same way#especially if it ends the same way because that'd probably make you enjoy things more make days longer and conversations last a bit more#and make more memories that could help you go through the loneliness of knowing they exist but just not in your world anymore#those certain moments in the day when you remember a specific conversation or when a song plays and you think of them#and how somehow you still dream about them or have conversations in your mind and plan what you'll say when you meet them again#even though you know you'll never meet again#but what happens if you do? if for some reason the world turns around and you're in front of each other again?#what happens if your lives are different if you are different?#would time stop in a song? and then move on?#I guess I'm just loving tonight#random#personal#my shitty English#I want to write now

Normalize making pmvs based off days youâve had two years ago
#okay so story/background idk#this is based off the time a few novembers ago me and my family moved my grandmother into assisted living#sheâs been suffering from dementia for a really long time and it got to a point where we had to change#her living arrangement in the nursing home#itâs a really weird feeling because how she is right now is the way Iâve known and remembered her for most of my life#and both versions of my grandmother my parents bring up all the time#itâs a weird experience to be compared to her a lot and have them worry about her a lot and expect you to feel the exact same when all you#go off are what other people say#and vauge memories of your early childhood#and her belongings#itâs not that I donât love my grandmother itâs just feels like Iâm mourning a person I never properly knew#idk I hope this pmv communicates that.#if not idc it was still fun to do.#black dog isnât even my fav ajj song I was just listening to it a lot during that time#everything featured in the drawings of her home are things she owned irl#she used to collect little pig sculptures :)

hi! heard the released âMerry Christmas, Please Donât Callâ (which iâve seen youâve heard live, if iâm not mistaken!!) this morning and i donât know if thereâs really a particular vibe/dynamic/ship hrpf-wise (personally havenât yet been able to put my finger on it) that quite relates but the lyrics have been rotating in my head all day and i was wondering if you had any thoughts? hope you have a good one! <3
OH ANON HAVE I EVER SEEN IT LIVE!!! and the second that song came out i zoomed it straight into my fic playlist and unfortunately there are so many guys this could be. right now the one that's resonating is, of course, the golden boy and his haunted ghost themselves: mcstrome.
i am thinking about connor, specifically, after the stanley cup final. that game seven. how angry he was, how loud the silence when they told him he won the conn smythe. how close he's come before and again and again lost. there's nobody else to blame but himself. he's in the empty room and he knows why (1)
at!! your best!!! you were magic!!! oh, golden boy. connor the anointed, of course. at the very beginning of his career we always knew he was something special and who wouldn't have fallen in love with him? weren't all of us a little bit dylan strome in awe of the generational talent? we were all bathed in radiant light just by being in the vicinity (2)
don't even tell 'em that you know me breaks my heart (3). in terms of building a narrative i think i've said before there is a universe where connor/dylan were together before the draft and to protect both of them, dylan breaks up with him. connor says i love you and dylan says i don't. because he doesn't, you know? he loved connor. he loved davo. he can't be in love with connor mcdavid, first overall pick of the edmonton oilers. i'd rather be hurt forever than have to watch us try to make this work and destroy us.
and after connor mcdavid left the otters, dylan strome captained them to a memorial cup win. what a haunted home, eh? to be captain of the team you and your best friend were on, only now he's left you? don't call me to tell me about your rookie season with the oilers--we both know about your broken collarbone. don't call me to tell about becoming the youngest captain in franchise history when i stepped into the shoes of your captaincy here. don't call me. (4)
narratively: dylan's the one who broke connor's heart and his own but by god it wasn't easy. we both know what happened, you went first overall. please don't make this harder on me. please don't call.
this verse can be about the weight of dylan having to live up to connor's standards and always being measured by him. i would just like to bring up the connor stepping stone chart for absolutely no reason as well (5)
we are, at long last, at the potential future of now: dylan strome, happy, smiling, thriving on the washington capitals. connor, on the oilers. i'm not yours, dylan can say. haven't been for a long time. it took some time but i made this. please don't call and ruin this for me, stay out of my life. i don't want you or need you (6)
[p.s. this took a while because when i received this ask i was a) immediately possessed to write this verse by verse breakdown i had never thought of before and then b) immediately plagued by the idea of making you a little graphic (above the read more) and finally got to do it after banging out all the actual lyric thoughts two (?) weeks ago. emerging two and a half hours later from the fugue state of GIMP with 37 layers in this bad boy hope you enjoy!!!]
#not me being like did i tell y'all about seeing bleachers? and then just proceeded to take it at face value like yeah i probably did#do i remember when or in what context absolutely not. maybe re: popstar jack? also very possible i was just. yapping.#anyway we're gonna put tag footnotes for other potential pairings &dynamics because otherwise this post looks frankly. unhinged. which it i#(1) because i am nothing if not a parody of myself i would like to provide an honorable mention to the death of the goon in this lyric.#when does time stop? when is it just you & your anger? who's the person you've divorced yourself from because you couldn't catch their fist#in case it was not clear this is also incredibly a trade narrative. did we pick that up? this is lovers to enemies. this is we were not goo#for each other and i don't regret that. parise suter fans rise up. the speaker in this case is the minnesota wild org.#(2) there is a note of nostalgia and longing here--when you were magic. i remember when you were a giant to me. i remember the hope#and possibilities. rip to sidney crosby the next one and golden boy of this generation but this is sung like a rookie to the vet they once#idolized. i was sold and maybe i shouldn't have bought it. maybe you tarnished over time. or in a softer light it is a comfort not a#criticism i bought tickets to the show. at your best you really were something and you made me believe i could be magic too. SORRY. dylan.#sorry. he'll come up again later. but every team has a golden boy don't they? do we know the cathal kelly bedard article where he talks abt#eating your prospects alive by building a narrative they can never live up to & promising them every year so that when they can it's a shoc#(3) three line devastation here my god. don't pretend you were kind golden boy! don't you dare tell anyone what you told me because then#they'd know too. the âcoming outâ narrative of it is discussed but while i don't love this it's the easiest example i have: jamie & trevor#have we heard jamie talk about trevor in a single interview? sometimes after a guy you loved gets traded you don't want the reminder.#it's even worse if he chooses to leave. claude giroux hater-era au arc where we don't talk about him. jt leaving the islanders dead to them#(4) while not a trade the other draft narrative we grew up together to enemies is of course zach and dylan. zach roaming around ann arbor#please also apply to subsequent usntdp team 100/101/102 narratives. alex turcotte i'm sorry they never speak your name you will hurt foreve#(5) to counter the rookie to the vet narrative of the golden boy this is fairly explicitly To Me a vet about his rookie who's supposed to b#the promised one the one who'll save them all. dallas is coming to mind here but not for any real reason. nail yakupov are you there.#taylor hall curse of the 1OA. pretty common also for guys to take in a kid when you're barely 26 yourself & haven't got ur shit figured out#so. dealing with a neurotic driven kid? yeah this is somebody who had a golden boy &fell out of favor. got traded. ty smith j'accuse style#(6) or in another story please don't call because i'll come right back#goodnight chicago the playoff handshake line. please don't call me. please don't call me.#HELLO BESTIE!!!! i think this is a wonderful song for Fic Purposes and could be applied well to SO many different narratives. i picked a#specific example but do feel the dynamic is very much what the song says: toxic ex and/or family/friend you don't need in your life. trades#seguin leaving boston etc etc. there IS an answer eluding me besides mcstrome though. not toxic enough. tk pat trade? OH TK PAT. or older#trade deadline tragedy

Even INI noticed that Takumi and Yudai's hug scene was a little bit "đ€šđłïžâđ?" and to be honest i'm glad I'm not the only one...
#đïžđđïž#Yes two men can hug without it being romantic! It can be platonic! Don't get me wrong!#But the scene itself had romantic connotation because of their facial expressions. They seemed like lovers desperate to love but can't#Also the first time I saw it I thought they were trying to reach for the key#But they got rid of the chains when they touched hands (kind of âlove saves the dayâ type of thing)#Their love (romantic or platonic) saved them from the chains that imprisoned them - not the key! :3#I'm not saying Yudai and Takumi have a thing - just that they seemed like they wanted to portray a same-sex couple#Both of them can act remember? Takumi is literally in a drama and Yudai was great playing that sassy princess!#Also... I have to say it đ#Some small details in the MV seem to talk about LGBTQ+ rights and Pride Parade...#Again!!! I'm not saying it IS about queerness!!!#But the whole story of the MV being about riots... Hiromu's line âfighting against prejudiceâ#Rihito (a guy who openly supports LGBTQ+ rights) holding a big flag like it is a pride flag...#Their performance at Studio Choom literally making up the asexual flag at the screen and Takumi showing off a black ring in the middle#Finger of his right hand... (a.k.a asexual ring)#The line âPRIDEâ itself... (Pride of what I wonder? Hmmm...) Their hair colors making up a rainbow... (ok this is just a joke) (but they do#The song being named âLOUDâ (âBe Loud Be Proudâ a.k.a phrase often used by queer people? Anyone??)#And last but not least it was released in JUNE (a.k.a Pride Month)!#Listen. I DO think the MV is connected to INI's MVs' storyline. Specially with SPECTRA and We Are and Password.#But... BUT. Hear me out. Please. Open your mind a little bit.#The boys (specially Hiroto who wrote the song) also want to express themselves their opinions and their feelings.#My boy Nishi LOVES doing that in the songs he writes. And maybe (just maybe) he and maybe other members wanted to#Help these queer people (specially queer MINIs) feel seem. Maybe some are queer themselves. We don't know and that is not our business.#But - whatever the reason is - they wanted to help these people feel seem and cared for. They wanted to tell them to continue fighting.#To fight against prejudice. To be LOUD and PROUD.#We MINIs know INI is not really afraid to think outside of the box... âBreaking the frame breaking the frame đ”â :3#I mean Rihito literally stan an openly bisexual black man and he said âLGBTQâ in an interview even if he's an IDOL!!#He wore a t-shirt that says âWhy being racist sexist HOMOPHOBIC and TRANSPHOBIC when you could just be quiet?â#(OMG he's so my ichiban for that đ)#If Rihito can do that I wouldn't be surprised if other members also did something like what I said above! đ

it should be studied the way i immediately start crying after masturbating like girl where is the serotonin i was promised
#i just. the memories won't stop one after the other like a messy movie#all that talk about sex and love and a future together#all that teasing at night like oh think of me when you do it#and actually thinking of her for a whole year. how do i just forget#and the teasing the joking about who would play what role but both of us knowing exactly what would happen#but it was fun to tease#and the quiz the teasing referencing the quiz to make a point#and sometimes the honest convos truly vulnerable ones no teasing pure love and want#and sending clips on pinterest and them saying one day#and just. the full comfort and safety. and imagining your whole life with someone and suddenly you have to think aboit other people becaus#well they're gone. and they always said don't have hopes for the future i can't promise and i didn't listen#i think ive moved on but really i don't think i have just have gotten good at suppressing distracting#it's been. a little over a month and still it feels like everything is falling apart my house of dreams and hopes is falling apart around#me slowly and im just sitting in the floor crying#i shouldn't have listened to that gracie song i just. i saw her story and i thought she was going to release it and idk wanted to listen#one last time the youtube live version#ab aise lag raha ki back to square one#i keep having these thoughts involuntarily i don't know how to mske them stop#i remember few weeks ago i was hanging out with my bestie and i miss you im sorry started playing on shuffle from her playlist#and i was like fuck this song she told me about it we loved it gracie was like our artist#and i was like ok ill be brave and listen to it i have to one day na she's one of my fave artists#but we hadn't even reached the chorus and my bestie was like no and changed it immediately she must've seen something on my face#cause a hundred memories flashed before my eyes in those 10 something seconds#can u believe. having so many memories with someone you just text. what the fuck man i can't even remember my syllabus they should fade#okay goodnight
