🎵 favorite artists

Taylor Swift, Lizzy McAlpine, Conan Gray, Billie Eilish, Cro, Finneas

🎧 last song you listened too

📺 last show you watched

Game of Thrones (rewatch)

📝 last thing you wrote

“Love you too, J,” I whispered while drifting off and hoping that he hadn't actually heard me.

🔐 something no one would guess about you

I've only ever had one person tell me that they love me and it was the most awkward moment of my life bc the guy was someone I considered to possibly become my friend and not to be interested romatically in me. and ig I broke his heart and I didn't feel any bad about it, but all of my "friends" told me I was cruel and I should give him a chance bc "at least he's interested in you" in retrospect I should definitely have cut ties with my friends that second and it just shows how little these ppl thought of me. just bc I'm a bigger girl doesn't mean I have to settle for the first guy who shows interest, and even worse bc he later turned out to be one of the most toxic ppl I was ever friends with

🧟‍♀️ scariest thing that’s happened to you

I got really drunk, like blackout drunk, bc I drank a whole bottle of vodka and had nothing to eat all day (2.3‰ by the end as it turned out) and the ambulance that was to take me to the ER took a detour and idk what happened in those missing 20 minutes... so ig that

🔥 craziest thing that’s ever happened to you

on the one school ski trip (the only time I ever went skiing in my life) on the last day I literally went head over heals when going down the mountain and my ski flew a few feet away from me and my teachers all thought I just killed myself or broke something to the very least, but I just got up and kept going. but maybe this accident is the reason for my chronic back pain that no one ever checked up on. (srsly fuck those old white men doctors)

San Francisco

🍇 a word your friends would use to describe you

feisty (@notdxbya said so)

🍒 what is your earliest memory

we were at the Playmobil Park and I was milking a plastic cow

🍌 what is one talent you wish you had

I wish I could study and instantly know it all, like I read it not more than twice and know it.

💌 why did you start this blog?

bc I felt the need to share my writing

✏️ when did you start writing fanfic

actually genuinely, in March 2023 bc the third season of OBX fucked me up big time and I needed to fix it (I'm still working on that one)

but my first fanfic, that I never finished, was in 2014 I believe and it was Hunger Games fic that I wrote in german on Instagram

🖇️ what are your favorite asks to answer

meta. like, anything that let's me dive into meta and characterisation especially. specifically JJ (and Kiara and Rafe bc I pay attention to those three the most when I watch OBX)

📚 how do you come up with the fics you write

a lot of times I get inspired by songs or something I read sparks an idea. other times I just get a scene stuck in my head. or (which happens rarely) I dream something vaguely specific and then I try and put the characters in that scenario or something, that one gave me way to write one of my most favorite chapters I've ever written for my Lovebirds fic, which will be posted this year, I hope...

📌 what is the fic you’re know for

idk 😶 literally no clue, I'd have to ask my moots or followers. ig if my stuff got more popular then maybe.

🔍 what character do you enjoy writing for the most

JJ definitely bc I'm just so much easier in that mindset and it doesn't feel like I'm an imposter.

🖊️ what character do you not enjoy writing for

I think I would have the worst time writing John B or Topper bc I just don't vibe with them 😭

💔 is there a fic you wish you didn’t write

yeah, the Ghostface one 💀

❤️‍🔥 what character do you simp for most often

JJ Maybank, he's my girlfriend, duh

🧚‍♀️ favorite characters of all time

JJ Maybank, Percy Jackson (pjo), Leo Valdez (pjo), Katniss Everdeen (thg), Jacaerys Verlaryon/Targaryen (hotd), Yelena Belova (mcu)

🪐 favorite shows / series of all time

New Girl (if you haven't watched it, shame on you! go watch it now!)

🌝 a show you would recommend to anyone

New Girl lol

but also Game of Thrones (but only s1-6 max. maybe even stop after 4 bc it starts to get bad after 4) and

House of the Dragon (we'll see how the following seasons will go)

for something else lighter, maybe Bob's Burgers it's incredibly funny and well written

🌚 a show you’d tell people to stay away from

OBX 💀 like I love it but it's my guilty pleasure, but it's badly written and has plot holes in abundance and waaay too much fan service

🌹 favorite kinks to write for

cockwarming, that's probably it bc other than that I don't really have a preference

🥀 kinks you would never write for

I wouldn't say never, but uf I try it I'll do it on my own account and not bc someone asks for it.

that said, I doubt I'll ever write anything that concerns anal bc I have trauma there and if I would I'd first have to work myself through that part of my life and right now I don't have time for that

🌊 a kink you would like to write but you think you’d be judged

stepcest 💀 I'm not doing it for reasons that only make sense to me and not for the obvious ones

❄️ full fics, imagines or head canons

full fics. bc I hardly ever not dive too deep. I have a hard time writing short stuff, literally 2k words is short for me 😭 so don't expect me to write something short ever, unless my brain won't let a fic happen

☂️ your favorite fanfic from another writer

for JJ it's Safety Net by @mvybanks

for Rafe it's Watch and Learn by @nadvs

Hi! Not the same anon, but you said in a previous ask that you fell out of love with bsd. I was thinking about starting that series so I'm curious, can you tell me about more about your opinions on bsd?

Oh boy uhhhhh my opinions about bsd. Anon I'm so so sorry for what is about to happen.

Quick and easy advice: Read until the end of the guild arc and then drop it and consider the series done, that would be until end of ch 37, enjoy

Now for the crazy version:

It doesn't IMMIDIETLY go bad Guild arc but after that is where things slowly start to slack and slip and then we end up with what we ended up ye.

I really enjoyed bsd up until the end of the guild arc! I won't say it has NO writing problems, they were always there, but there were a lot less noticeable. The characters are cool and creative and if you are watching the anime the animation is stunning (though I do rec the manga, anime has a bad habit of cutting corners or changing scenes, especially when it comes to soukoku for some reason). Like it's no coincidence that even after I've completely fell out of love with the manga, characters like Chuuya and Ranpo are still ones I think about and consider amongs my favs. BSD had a lot lot lot of potential.

Anyway, Kafka Asagiri can't write for shit.

That's mean I know, but I'm really really tired of this dude like, the way he writes reminds me of the way i wrote when i was like 15 and that is NOT a compliment.

He has a really really unfortunate habit of making characters Just so many characters. Go to bsd fan wiki, go look at how many fucking organizations there are, that's too many organizations. This is why bsd was good until after guild arc. You had Port Mafia you had Detective Agency, they are at war, in comes Guild, they have to unite, simple but effective. And then like 11 other organizations are pulled out of nothing and each of them has at least a couple of names characters and sometimes a few of them will get developed but probably really only one and that is what Kafka does. He's a character designer. He makes shiny new toys and plays with them for a while and then he throws them away because he's bored and he wants a new toy. That's just how everything has started to feel.

I hadn't kept up with the manga for a while. I used to get some info about what was happening from my friend but then she dropped it too, so now i only get what accidentally ends up on my dash. I heard Kenji got a bit of a backstory recently good for him. I honestly dont know where bsd is going rn, is it better, is it worse, is it trudging down the same old track. If anyone who follows me reads it feel free to jump into my ask box to tell me about it, especially if its like 'you are wrong lucy its actually good now' because god knows i want it to be.

But that's just the overall impression I got from kafka's writing. Like, I think he knows somewhat where he is going, maybe the end goal, but he's honestly flying by the seat of his pants. Things happen and you are like 'wait what, is that allowed?', Chuuya is a god now, its a nitpick only im upset about but its my blog, and god, god kafka thinks hes so smart

It was cool at first you know, we had Ranpo and Dazai who were both genius detectives with their own flavors and it was fun. But you know that sherlock video where the guy rants how sherlock just magically knows things and we are just supposed to accept it because sherlock is so smart and special THATS HOW THE WHOLE OF BSD STARTS TO FEEL. Every other villain is a brilliant genius strategist and they do things and know things and battle with dazai who also does things and knows things and none of it is ever explained because well they are geniuses just trust me they would know, dw they can do this, they are geniuses. Kafka just uses them to do whatever the fuck he wants without having to work for it because they are geniuses. It's annoying! The fucking code talking scene will be something ill be mad about on my death bed i stg.

Anon, I'm a character driven person. If i like the characters, I can stand a mediocre plot that's fine. But Kafka displays such massive misuse of all his characters its simply unbearable. I love Chuuya with all my heart and I don't acknowledge more than like 5% of his backstory. I was looking forwarded to his backstory! This never happened to me before, that i find out more about a character n just stand there n go

'well thats stupid as shit, that didn't happen'

And believe me anon I could rant about misuse of Chuuya until next year.

Just. It really really does have that feeling, you know. Like Kafka makes characters and gets bored of them and then just plays around with new characters until hes bored of them too. On and on and on. Instead of deepening the relationships between already pretty big 'core' cast, he keeps throwing new characters at them, that were never mentioned before but are suddenly super important. Only to forget about them too.

It feels pointless to care about characters when you read bsd. Nothing will be done with them, and this goes beyond like 'well this is a side character, they won't get much work' I feel like fucking Atsushi has been half forgotten and he's the mc. Or maybe Dazai is the mc??? But then i heard Kafka started to abandon him too which is just??

Ugh, sorry about huge ass angry rant, bsd is just THAT sort of topic with me, I feel like i said this same thing like 50 different times to a dozen of different people and i still get upset about it every single time.

If i could steal one set of characters and make them my own it would be the original cast of bsd, agency, port mafia, guild. I love those characters, i wish they had a better writer and attention they deserved, it could have been very cool

I said so much but i didnt even talk about how cannibalization arc is completely wasted or anything, I feel like every time i write this it ends up less and less coherent and more just me screaming at the clouds

I hope that helps?

#lucy rants #anon #answered #bsd will be the end of me #i stg there are at least two similar rants in the lucy rants tag #and every time im equally passionate #just less coherent #but no srsly guys if there are ppl still reading it come and tell me whats going on especially if you think its starting to return to form #is chuuya still a vampire?#what a stupid ass decision that was #i feel like a dying grandma asking for her grandkids to visit #i did not check over any of this its just a rant

Aight since I got called a pussy by @vesselofwhiteboychad and her wife @gojocaninfinitymyass imma rant

about the dreaded webtoon lmao

(don't take this too srsly I'm too lazy to put much thought and effort into this post)

Okay so LO (lor3 Olympus)

It's honestly not that good, at all. I'm not going to say it's bad, but people glamorize the living crap outta it.

Basic plot summary: Persephone is a young adult out to see the world romance with hades yadda yadda fucked up shit happens yadda yadda. That's kind it. it's romance waddya expect something deep?

Listen I have a couple issues with LO. That mainly stem from the way ppl act like it's this great feminist love story it's not. Like it handles issues better than most cheesy romance stories, but key word being "better" not the best.

LO "promotes body positivity", literally Persephone has an hour glass figure and is petite. Very Marilyn Monroe, nothing wrong with that, but to pretend that it isn't the ideal body type for women is an understatement. She has some stretch marks and a slight belly, I'll give some props for that.

LO "handles abuse and trauma well". I'm not going to disagree with this point, it handles it well but the usage of trauma is just to make other characters look better in comparison. Like hades isn't exactly a stand up guy, he's better but the author had to make other men completely shit human beings to make him look good.

LO "is shows male abuse" again the author did the same thing but reversed it in order to make Persephone look like an amazing wonderful person UwU bean. She added minthe another shitty character. Hades abuse is still barely covered, Persephone might be getting help for her issues hades went to 1 therapy session and hasn't worked out his trauma at all.

LO falls into the traditional traps of literally any other romance shitty ex girlfriend, and creepy asshole. Like if you take away the fact it's "Greek mythology" it's just another garbage romance. Listen I love garbage romances I watch vampire diaries for ducks sake, the only thing that annoys me is the whole "it's super feminist uwu", cuz it's not.

It's a pseudo woke webtoon they added 1 lesbian couple for shits and giggles and 1 overweight character (in the background)

Listen LO is a webtoon that has the author's ddlg kink written all over it. (Yes she has a ddlg kink ask anyone who subs to her Patreon). Not to kinkshame anyone, but once you no that you can clearly see it in the story

Now I can't write romance for shit, but most of Persephone and hades interactions are them lusting after eachother, him buying her things, or delivering exposition. They occasionally talk trauma and set up boundaries, (which is good) but they don't have anything that makes me think they'll actually get along besides the fact they think the other one is hot.

Now the age gap thing is one of those things I gotta tip toe on, cuz people pull the "she's an adult yada yada".

It's not so much the fact that's she's "legal" it's the fact the webtoon gives her zero agency, she doesn't buy her own clothes, study what she wants, literally she has no desires outside of wanting freedom from her mother and lusting after hades. No goals career or aspirations. Nothing, ppl also like to go "she's a strong women uwu" she falls into the "the author didn't actually know what a strong female character is so they gave her some form of super power". Strong female characters aren't always physically strong, a strong female character is a female character who can stand on their own (without other characters) and you understand their wants, personality. The can be feminine and soft take wakana from utena or anthy himemiya they are strong female characters but aren't physically strong.

Persephone going apeshit on a bunch of villagers isn't queen shit it's a scapegoat because the author couldn't give Persephone actual motivation.

Hades is a whole nother bundle, dudes just kinda there? His main goal is a happy loving life (totally fair) but outside of his romance with Persephone he isn't doing much to do that. I won't get on the whole "he's creepy for lusting after a 19 year old" topic cuz that's a bag of worms that I agree and disagree with. Point is hades isn't the healthiest dude and has a lot to work through, he can still pursue Persephone but it would be nice to see him working through his stuff as well.

Now this is a tidbit that annoys the shit outta me so imma just put a big TW for RAPE and Virginity.

Okay so TGOEM or the concept of eternal maiden hood. First of of I hate the way virginity is used in this webtoon.

Like it's fucked up to say rape "counts". Persephone was raped so she according to the author isn't a virgin.

Again this is just a me thing, but rape shouldn't fucking count. It's not a "sexual experience" it's an act of violence. Yes it's sexual violence, but it's not and shouldn't count as your first time ever. A lot of women I know who's "first time" was rape are forever scared by it. And I personally would love it if popular media would stop portraying it as such.

It's fucked up, and the concept of eternal maidenhood isn't something that needed to be in the story. And the fact no one reached out to Persephone to explain this awful.

Yeah maybe nitpicky on my part but idc

Another thing I have no issue with the age gap per say, LO isn't for kids so my issue is mainly that the platform itself markets it towards a younger demographic and had 0 ratings. It will likely also be tV 14 when it comes out, which will also annoy me at least make it NC 17 or TV MA, but only time will tell

But listen LO is summary is a trashy romance with slightly better handling of abuse and trauma. Don't expect this grand masterpiece. I read it cuz I like trashy romance.

LO fans don't even @ me I'll block you on sight

#not me listening to peer pressure #zingspeaks #so i popped of #tw: rape #tw rape

any recs for good naramis fics?

YES OMG i’m SO glad u asked me this i’ve been waiting for someone to 😈 ok HERE WE GO

nose over tail by revolvermonkcelot. rated T. basically it’s an alternate, no stand au of part 5! narancia is still living on the streets by 17, but gets sort of adopted by buccellati after fugo punches him in the eye bfhsudnsj the characterization and just. pure story telling skills in this fic are amaaazing it seriously needs more credit pls i’m OBSESSED with it. so so so good

that dreamers often lie by pretentiousashell. rated G. idek how to describe this fic all i remember are the emotions i had while reading it, which were a lot i’ll have u know. basically it’s an everybody lives au where everyone is still in the mafia, but narancia gets to go to school!!(that’s not a huge plot point tho) i love the way mista is written in this fic it’s so endearing and their relationship.... hoo wee 🥺 just so sweet and fun!

learning to fall by supposed2bfunny. rated T. AAAAGGGHH THIS FIC!!! ok ok ok so essentially it’s kind of a pre-part 5? i guess? mista encounters narancia being beat up and saves him, and they become quick friends, but narancia decides to cut ties like almost immediately :( they meet again when narancia joins the gang but nara pretends he doesn’t know who mista is and. well you’ll jus have to see what happens next 😈😳

i’m such a baby ‘cause the dolphins make me cry by brella. rated M. EVERYBODY LIVES AU WOOHOO WE LOVE TO SEE IT !!!!! it’s a 3+1 fic!! there’s making out and smoochin so if that makes u uncomfortable i would say avoid this one but!! seriously such a good read idk what it is about mista but the way ppl write him make me love him a little more everytime. i already love narancia enough so if a fic makes me love him more then that’s pretty impressive, and this fic did! the emoshuns... wow. yeah anyway i adore it❤️

no fair at all by captainsquarter. rated T. i’m pretty sure i’ve put this in a jojo fic rec list b4 but!! idc it’s rly good. this one also includes canonical deaths if that’s smth u want to avoid! it takes place a little after the events of part 5 and gosh. the way mista is portrayed, his anger...his grief... his resentment... it’s all so realistic and makes you feel right alongside him it’s a trip. fugo is also there which is cool but he’s also the one mista is projecting most of his negative emotions onto, within good reason. i would rly rly suggest this one it’s so so wow

coming for to carry me home by silverrollu. rated G. this one starts off start and sweet but gets really sad. i don’t wanna say a lot cause i don’t want to spoil, but just a warning: this fic DOES contain canonical deaths so watch out for that!!!!! it made me cry :((( i mean i cry a lot but whatever. just. a bittersweet read but an extremely good one at that!

you need hands by ghirga. rated T. a band au! narancia is a percussion player and is trying to teach mista the marimba but he sucks ass at it ❤️ so so so cute and fun 😭🥺

dude by ghirga. rated T. meet cute-ish? they are in a hospital and they talk it’s rly funny but also wholesome n sweet. a good, sorta quick read to lift ur spirits!

arrivederci roma, it’s time for us to part by breakdownx2. rated M. well i think that u can tell by the title that this has canon deaths dhsndisndnje 😔 this fic is rly sad guys like. woah woah woah thinking about it too hard is making me start to tear up AHDDJDJSN basically mista trying to cope with losing narancia and trying to convince everyone(including himself) that he’s ok. he’s not

broken time is not the only thing by pretentiousashell. rated G. this is part 5 in the reset universe, essentially. the raw emotions in this one. tbh i don’t remember it that well i needa reread it but, dear lord. oh gosh. oh my 😭 also the stands that they have are so so cool i’m not gonna say what they are in order to give y’all an incentive to read the fic but. yeah it’s epic and sad at the same time

fire alarm by vegitodorito. rated T. SO FUNNNNNN I LOVE THIS. funky and groovy yes this fic woah this fic!!!!! warning ⚠️⚠️ contains corny pick up lines ⚠️⚠️ no but srsly this fic is rly funny and sweet and gets their characters down like, perfectly.

bros to lovers by 35dash. rated T. this fic is just basically funny the whole way through i rly do love love love it. nara and mista being oblivious to the fact that they obviously like each other and just passing it off as ‘bro stuff.’ what’s better than that

gay chicken by malfoyisme. rated T. ok i haven’t read this one but i want to lol

and that’s about it!!! those r some rly good naramis fics i’ve read ! i hope u like em too 😌💖

some thots. having a bad time so this is rougher than usual. oh well

....

i guess he really does know hiim best cos if that was my mans (man specifically cos if anyone else did that id take it more srsly) i would be like oh my god ur singing me a love song? i would love it but i woudl SCREAM in embarrassment. UNLESS it was a really deep love song that's about us dying together.

like i want to eat ur skin type of thing (drain u nirvana) lmaoa but i really like this song it reminds me of that velvet underground song (the only one i know cos of juno lmao) and nico or whatever 'i'm sticking with you)

my adhd would be out of fucking control i had to spend my time listening to this looking around i kept getting distracted by a tissue and thinking "wow this song is nice but i wish it would end bc i am getting distracted" and lo and behold i paused it and i have to pee and i know it's gonna take forever to undo this

ok about 12m later i turned it back on and they kissed and then he bit the corn then that night li chen also lost his virgin teas after watching gay porn and being like "hm interesting" and he'll be like "i see, ur dick is not medium sized"

i'm honestly gagging i cannot at this 12 year old marrying his mom

beautiful theyre beautiful

ayea you fucking psycho we do too because he was 17 and we had to witness it (or well, other people did cos i didnt watch the show even tho wayne song is [BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEP] and i want him to [BEEEEEEEP] and ppl even liked it which is fine like i get it in theory but they put this in my eyeballs so i'm gonna make fun of it bc it's fuckin DUMB lmao like i can't I CANNOT and he said "u were so persistent" BITCH UR 30??!?!???!?!?!?)capi hve it on mute and i tried to get a screencap of li chen and mu ren like together and not just his face but i cant find the timestamp and seeing their faces as they get married is literalyl traumattizing i'm like scremaing at my screen going "HE'S 5 HE'S 5 HE'S 5" and every time theyre like "we acn live forever together" like no bitch ur bones rae creaking

also is the officiator white? if anyone knows why or if that's common i'd love to know more. EDIT: HE ISN'T I JUST THOUGHT HE LOOKED LIKE MOBY FROM THAT ANGLE

anyway here

i'm almost done with this fucking bullshit and i am in a really ould mood and usu they make it a bit better but imo it's kind of....annoying i guess balancing all these story elements and introducin gother couples (even in the periphery) since the story in itself can't focus. i feel like all in all the time spent with these two is a lot more limited and we get the feel for the rship because of their chemistry as actors, irl chemistry as friends and colleagues, and hopefully being happy and working on a good set. so it isn't the strength of the writing or production.

for some reason they get like less dynamic ways of being together which i think is part of their charm, they do things their own way, but the writers really should have substantiated this more. it's really just the way everyone in the show has managed to deliver these AWFUL story lines and production decisions (like seriously who the fuck was on costume? lighting?)

like maybe hot take but all the moments that are cringe and insane in the show are not pleasant, per se, because they aren't thought out clearly. so they're not a joy to watch in the normal sense but the actors are good enough to pull it off. i didn't cringe at the talks they had because it felt like actors like acting these lines out instead of us being embarrassed for it and you CAN TELL theyre embarrassed.

this is a huge kudos to the casting director and the actors and whatever crew that actually did a good job. i don't particularly like watching bo xiang and his grandfather husband not because of the content but because i feel like, to me, they're so awkward even though they have chemistry. i don't have that issue with xing si and his rapist brother boyfriend because watching them is actually really pleasant, it's intimate. this isn't to do with the story though because when it hits you how devoid this other person is and how stupid the situation is it changes (for me, for me, for me, this is all my opinion think whateverrrr u want im not telling u 2 ok!)

so truly kudos to this cast. idk if i'm misremembering here but imo the most cast appropriate series in this was crossing the line and close to you. one is a decent atmosphere and execution (yes even with that brother story line, notice the major key differences though because that's a sincere false equivalence. they try to execute power imbalances soooo badly and then fail every time but here's one meant to shock too and it was just likelmao ok girl?)

it may not make sense to say either in a writing way or for the character to do it but i believe that whoever the characters these people are supposed to be especially those super not well written on the page still get that message aacross (yong jie's actor is a good ex. not sure if i should ccongratulate him for having the worst job on earth and the worst character and his character is flat but. ostensibly they should let their actions speak for themselevs but what they do is they back themselves into a ccorner with unsuretyabout their characters or a dilemma that pops up they just want to excuse it. well guess hwat u couldnt do enough legwork. but to some extent the disposable side couple works here on a um "our eyes see them and get it" way

also to me it seems like they chose this story just to have this specific wedding. like it's a timely topic and i'm pretty sure like another provision? (correction? idk) was made WRT taiwanese same-sex marriage so it's topical but it isn't like a "papa and daddy" situation where they're interacting in it and there (for ex: the pride parade) and there being like real life terms and consequences. here it seems like they were like ah yes wedding ah yes dumb couple from modc bc we kiled off the other one sooooo (then outsource them to life love on the line u__u) then hamfisting in some fucking message which is funny bc

- despite the hints peppered in and the clear attraction they both acknowledge ur like ~not gay just him~ even tho...i mean i just. again they dont read over what they write i don't think considering. but wahtever.

- the only gay dude (verbally said) is with his rapist brother with an awful power dynamic oh or IS a rapist (gao) (or his brother but i think it was just a "im a psycho so it's him" thing unless they said it. in which case idc cos i wasnt paying attn but that's also not great) or i guess the wedding but like....that's also a ridiculously inappropriate and dumb relationship taht it's built on. i mean i don't really see much respect her so i dont particularly want to hear abt gay weddings being important when they didn't even utilize it in the story beforehand and have we ever. this is a huge indication to me that it was a reverse engineered chosen story beforehand (if it was one) or thought of

soooooo

so reversal of that....it didnt give us enough time to breathe with these two at all but for both of the actors they can capitalize what's on the page and the writers didn't. like their dynamic is very i give/you give like taking car eof each other etc that's why

again, no artist worth their salt will ever say their work meant nothing. that's a cover up. i'm sick of lazy production and then getting away with it claiming being subversive or attacking an issue by not doing anything. we show crazy shit all the time but it has a POINT and ur point is "i like the gays" then girl.....i mean it's not great

but the acting really carried it. i have a feeling if this series continues it might continue to use more experienced actors cos maybe the budget goes up but they also have less inhibitions now when it comes to acting. i like the way li chen expresss himself and teng teng too. i like anson a lot and there's some angles that did not do any favors and i think eh has to get more control of his body movements (bc he's SO LARGE and thin) but he wasn't bad at all and there were real human tears. of course i, personally, favor charles tu. he has more control over his body because he has...less to work with and he's a bit bigger and he was really great in this role. he's a himbo a bit of a meathead but you like him. you like them. there's some things i think they had them say and do that they wouldn't let happen if they stuck to the characters and the story (mainly liking that dumb idiot rapist)

what i notice is that the reprehensible actions people criticize others for in the show and in real human life lalways gets turned around. teng teng being surprised that this boy's grandfather boyfriend met him when he was a junior in high school and he's 12 years older and him apologizing for being shocked and then whatshisface going "ur better at it than most people" and then the convo about gao with whatshisface and then rapist brother comes to pick him up. they are admonishing gao but thinking that rapist brother is noble for doin gwhat he did (and oh rapist brother shows up) like the hypocrisy and the decisions are immense. so now it's like "guys see he's a great guy" like girl STICK TO SOMETHING but whatever so i live in this universe where muren and li chen do everything right and have lots of different interesting fun seex with all their friends. i would write this but i cannot i am dying

#history 4: close to you #history 4 #li chen x mu ren #a thot

Hi baby!!!! I wanted to ask if you think I am, you know, delusional. So this is my thing, for the groups that I listen to, I admire them so much, but whenever I think of them dating someone, something in me sparks. Like I know nothing will ever happen, but since I kind of grew up adoring these people, I grew and almost romantic-ish type of attraction. I still would be very happy and excited for them, but some type of disappointment or sadness. Could you tell me honestly if I am mad, crazy, and/or delusional.

i do not think you are being delusional! i understand where you’re coming from and why u would feel such an attachment to ur idols, since fanservice can sometimes be very intertwined in their work. even ignoring such instances, social media in general rly elevates the illusion of ‘feeling like a friend’ to ur idol. i mean, they can share pm anything on there!! we see not all, but fairly prevalent parts of their lives which can make us feel concretely apart of their journey.

n yeah, it’s kinda like having a crush who you know u’re NEVER gonna talk to lol!! but you see them everyday, and maybe if u’re lucky they’ll smile or say hello to you or smth like that. and when they finally get into a relationship you’ll be like :( bc well, i knew nothing between us was gnna happen, but i still liked them! but i know they’re prob happy and that makes me happy!! that isn’t delusion. in fact u’re being very realistic n managing ur expectations appropriately.

i think it turns into delusion when ppl let the personal affairs of their idol completely control their life. omg we have ALL seen it/heard stories abt it. fans burning their idols pictures or throwing out albums or threatening to ‘unstan’ like srsly guys ISUHFEUIG it makes me spin on my head like a break dancer JUST GO READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING !!!! jsfiejfniwe/. it reminds me of when a dino fansite, michan, thought he was her soulmate or smth and then wrote this big letter of heartbreak on her twitter when she realized... ya... maybe we aren’t star crossed luvers here guys ..... then closed her account.

so NO LOL i don’t think u’re being delusional!

#and if you do feel urself getting RLY like legitimately upset abt any dating possibilities for ur idols then #i would just recommend a break from them!#try to decrease ur interactions w their content #not saying delete all their music or pictures off ur phone or anything like that #but y;know #maybe unfollow their twitter or cut down the amount of videos u watch w / them #just small stuff!#n: moonbeam #t: choco's letters

Bff!to Bf!Jaemin AU (on crack)

whoever reads this all, honestly, i will write u down on the list of ppl who deserve prayers bc,,, this is one huge au for absolute no reason like I wrote the first half at night while high on sugar & the 2nd part has just been continuous throughout last week. You’ll also know where the 1st half ends cause it’s like,,,, super crack-filled... anyways! hope you enjoy! (also just realized this is my longest piece...)

sidenote: thirsty for more anon, my apple pie u don't deserve this but my phone deleted half of closer pt 2 today so I'm trying to rewrite it rn but I'm sorry:(

genre: fluff x some angst word count: 5.25K warnings: explicit language, like 1 suggestive remark? type: jaemin x reader! (gender neutral)

summary: a crack au induced by my sugar high and basically you tryna find out if you like your best-friend Jaemin or not ft. NCT 2018

Imma be real WITCHU

U and Na Jaemin?

Two best-friends that don't even know they love each other?

Yuh.

Like everything y'all do is what couples do

But you'll always deny that you like each other

Because you srsly don't feel that way with him

Or well like you don't know how love or liking someone is supposed to feel like

But you associate it with that your heart is supposed to start beating fast and you're supposed to get sweaty and like butterflies and keep thinking about him and messaging him all the time and-

basically all that cute shit

but you've never felt that way around him

I mean cmon

Jaemin literally flirts with u every second of the day and does the most with skinship

Except,,,

He does that with everyone so it isn't somethin to get oooooo'ed over nor to be like blushing about

also,,

this is the dude you've seen run around the place with a pair of underwear on his head when you guys were like 9

the same dude who accidentally sharted on your bed because of diarrhea when y'all were 12

Sharted.

Nuff said

The only thing you feel around him is comfort

Like no matter what happens, you'll always be comfortable around him

You can do whatever and he can do whatever and y'all just won't flinch or bat an eye

Because it's (y/n) and jaemin

The only people closer to each other besides markhyuck

And once jaemin gets into sm and nct

You thought that everything was gonna change

Except it didn't,,,, really,,,,

Like instead of being able to freely walk around and do stuff together

Y'all gotta do it incognito or at your house or at his dorms

Most of the time y'all go to his dorm

But honestly it isn't as bad cause ur still together plus

Plus,,,,

U gain some new friends through him

Aka the other members of nct

And it's a lot of fun just with the two of you and his friends

Also,,,, speaking of nct,,,,

They think y'all are secretly dating

But don't wanna tell anyone

And I mean like who can blame them???

When you both are out here sitting on a couch, watching tv

Jaemin's head in your lap facing you

And you're running your hands through his hair

Which slowly makes the soft boi fall asleep

And the dreamies come back to the dorm to see this like

Aiggghhhtttttt

And u say y'all aren't dating?

Cute lies (y/n) cute lies

And Chenle is in the corner laughing like a pterodactyl which of course wakes up Jaemin

Who gets up and is like

“U guys ate food without me?????" >:(

"Bro, u were too passed out on (y/n) to even know lmao we still got somethin back for u cause we're actually decent human beings WHO don't go out on dates with (y/n) then bring back nothing" Renjun scoffs and walks up to y'all droppin a bag u assume has the food

"It was one time. One damn time I didn't bring back anything and that!!! Was because!!!! It was!!! Midnight!!! And yalls!!!! Lazy asses!!!! Were asleep!!!!!"

Jaemin gets off you, shooting back at a Renjun in disbelief who's like

Appalled and has that "boi u did not just say that to me" face goin on

Meanwhile Jeno hits the folks with Jisung and ur just sitting there like

“Can't we have just one normal night?"

As Jaemin and Renjun get into a battle of who brings back food to the dorms the most

And Mark pops outta no where to lecture them on their friendship

K fast forward a bit,,,,

Y'all end up eating while the dreamies head back to their rooms, leaving u two in the living room devouring the food like animals

Except jisung, who's just chillin watchin tv

And for some reason u don't know why,,, that kinda feels awkward???

Like on any other day it'd be fine if he's sitting there cause y'all ain't dating or anything

But recently,,, since you've gotten so close to all of them

It feels kinda weird when it isn't just you and Jaemin????

And you kinda panic at this thought

So u get up while Jaemin's got his arms wrapped around your waist under the blanket and resting his head on your shoulder

And he's like "????? Where u goin????"

You rack your head for any excuse and manage to blurt out

"Uhhhhhh Taeyong just messaged me that he uhhh needs my help with something. I can't rlly say right now but I'll be back."

Let's be real here

Jaemin obvs knows ur lying

Like with ur stuttering and shifty eyes like u just committed some crime

But he doesn't say anything and lays back on the couch

Cause he trusts you and knows that you'll tell him later

So for now, my man chillaxes with jisung who's lowkey sobbing over some sad soap drama and dabbing his eyes

U kinda just yeet on outta there and walk up the next floor which is 127's floor

And while you had to walk thru actual filth to get out of the dreamies dorm

You can actually see the floor here and it's so pretty????

Anyways, u knock on their door

which is instantly opened by a scholarly looking Doyoung wearing thin-rimmed circular glasses and holding a thick philosophy book

Y'all

Don't even get me started on his fit

Ok I've started

Homeboy Do is out here with a pair of dark slacks, a white button up with a pink sweater vest and to top it all off?

He's wearin duck slippers

"A pleasure to see you again (y/n), are you looking for Jaemin? He should be in the dreamies dorm unless he went out with them to eat but you'd already know that."

"I'm uh here to talk with someone."

You lowkey realize you don't know who to talk to cause they all seem like not so great options to talk with

Since you don't know them as well as the idiots on the first floor

Doyoung pushes up his glasses and looks at you with this wistful teary-eyed look saying,

"It's time."

He looks out into the hall before pulling you in then walks away over to the kitchen saying,

"Have a seat (y/n), I'll make us some tea."

But you're like "uhhhh I'm not staying for that long lol"

Cue Doyoung's head to whip faster than a possessed acrobatic sayin

"u ain't goin no where hun."

So you're like ohokcool I'll jus sit down and hope there's another 127 member here to witness my death unless they're all possessed.

Ok ya, so u sit on the couch and once he puts the water to start boiling on the stove he comes over to u

And ur hands are all sweaty and ur nervous because you wanna ask him why you don't feel as comfortable around Jaemin when you're with others

But you're also like ummmuhhhhhhyaaaerrrr can't do this shit.

Doyoung speaks first tho

bless the lord

But what he says makes u sweat more

"I take it you'd like to ask me about Jaemin?"

U nod slowly holding onto the couch wondering if he rlly is possessed and can read minds now because what

But he smiles like a proud mother, his bunny teeth showing as he chokes out emotionally,

"I've waited for this moment for so long and (y/n)"

Grabs your hands in his with his eyes shining

"I am more than glad you came to me. I am honoured you chose me and not the other dumbasses picking their noses. I am more than honoured to have you trust in me your deepest of secrets. I will help you to the greatest my child. Tell me."

"Uhhhhhh ummmm I just wanted to ask uh like so whenever I'm around Jaemin and the dreamies or other members of nct, it feels weird??? Like idk how to explain but it's awkward and uncomfortable and idk why because this just happened recently and I've never felt this way before and-"

Doyoung jumps up scaring the absolute shit outta you and shrieks, "YOU LOVE HIM (Y/N)."

Ok thx for wakin up the whole city of Seoul Dodo

But he's breathing heavily with happy tears in his eyes while you're still sitting there like

Wtf typa crack are u on I regret this v v much

At this point, Taeyong and the dudes walk outta their rooms like wtf is goin on

And they see you

and in unison they all say,

"hey (y/n)"

which highkey always freaks you out cause it's so in sync and robotic

But you wave back and gesture to crackhead heavy breathin Doyoung

Whom is instantly then taken away by Yuta & he looks at you and hits his chest with a fist, nodding like

I gotchu fam

U do the same back meanwhile nct starts sittin around you

Like taeil's grandpa ass is on da couch with jungwoo donghyuck sicheng

Basically the smol group

And johnny taeyong mark are on the floor

jaehyun's the only one lookin after the tea which ur surprised hasn't burned the place down

but the only reason why he's doin that is to send a snap to all the girls he knows like a proper fuccboi and be like

"makin food for my lazyass members again🙄 istg I'm like the only one who does this😂"

ok but back to u and 127

"So you're here to talk about Jaemin or wha?" Donghyuck speaks up

This breaks the silence and they all start sayin a "yeah" and just mumbling other stuff

Until taeyong's like "y'all shut up let em speak"

Boomin system up up😔✊🏽 bless ty, bless ty

Then the whole room falls dead silent except for Doyoung yelling at Yuta in another room about how u and Jaemin are the cutest thing ever

Jaehyun even drags his ass to where y'all are and they just stare at you

As if all 8 eyes on you aren't intimidating or whateva

but u still decide to spill

"Uh ok. Um I just asked Doyoung uh like how should I say it um,,,, I used to feel comfortable being around Jaemin and the dreamies but nowadays it feels weird and awkward and like idk-"

"Bitch u like him, nothin new, NEXT"

Donghyuck waves u off rollin his eyes

"Hoe stfu and let her speak"

Mark smacks Hyuck on the back of his head

It's all silent for a couple of seconds until Johnny speaks up

"I can't believe I'm actually gonna say this but, I agree with Hyuck." Johnny looks a 110% regretful at his own words

And the whole room murmurs a yeah

And ur like ????? "Guys I do not like his crusty dusty ass trust✊🏽"

But jungwoo's giving you the side eye like "rlly bitch? Is u rlly gon say that?"

And ur givin him the "um ya I don't like him like that" look

But he's just rollin his eyes like "k queen, u do u"

And ur boutta hit him with that "stfu hoe u don't know shit" look

But then Taeil cuts in like "tf r y'all doin with yo eyes??"

You just sigh and rub your face not knowing what to say because no matter where u go, everyone's tellin you you like him

"Why don't you just ask him if he feels that way too? Or actually, why don't you just think to yourself and see if you can go at least three days without making any contact with him." Jaehyun says

Sorry.what. Is this from Mr. Player Jung Jaehyun???

all of the guys look at him like he's gone crazy

But he just shrugs and casually goes, "What? just cause I text 24 girls doesn't mean I don't miss talking to every one of them."

And they murmur a true to which ur like ????? He legit just uttered the worst thing ever????

But you're like thinking real hard cause what if you just miss him as a best-friend???

"But y'all best-friends stay in touch a whole lot sooooo that wouldn't prove much." You say, lounging back

"But best-friends aren't up each other's asses every single second of the day. If so I'd be right up in Mark's colon by now."

"Donghyuck-" "Dude wtf-" "Man please don't-" "Not even gonna try-"

But you kind of think about it and he is somewhat right

You and Jaemin have always been in touch like almost everyday since you two have known each other

Even more so now when you can't meet up on a regular basis

So you're like "okay,

Okay I'll do it."

And all of 127's like ????? Ur actually gonna believe this kid???

But the thing is you are. Even if he has a weird way of saying things. He's right.

And that's just what you do.

You do your handshake with all of the members and yell out a "bye yuta & Doyoung!!"

Before going back downstairs to the dreamies dorm

Where Jaemin's still lounging and Jisung's nowhere to be seen

"What did u guys talk about?" He casually asks, eyes still on the tv

"Oh u know, he just needed an opinion on someone he liked and since I wouldn't give him a dumb reply like the others, he asked me for it."

"Mhmmmm." He says believing you, before patting the seat beside him for you to sit

And you oblige, letting him throw his blanket over you and snuggle closer

his familiar scent all up on you

come to think of it, y'all hang out & do skinship so much that all of your clothes smell like him

his soft breath hits your neck and u clear your mind to try to focus on what to say next

"Just say u don't wanna see his uglyass face for 3 days." Donghyuck's voice pops in your head.

"Tell him you're movin to China for 3 days" Sicheng's voice pops up now

* But ur like thinking SHUTUP Hyuck & thnk u sicheng I lov u but he won't believe it

"Just tell him you have some school thing you forgot to do and it's due in 3 days so you can't hang out or go on your phone." For some reason Doyoung's voice pops up

But it's good advice from the usually extra preppy queen

So ur like "hey, I forgot to tell you earlier but I got this dumbass assignment I gotta do and it's due in like 3 days so I gotta go back now."

You feel his soft breath stop and he gets up, looking at you

Those soft confused brown eyes, warming up your- snap out of it (y/n)

"Also," you try to look as apologetic as your grade 6 level acting skills let you,

"I won't be able to really talk to you for the next couple of days cause of that."

Jaemin pouts and cocks his head to the side

And the inner u is like "stay strong BICTH u can make it thru the puppy faces."

"Why can't I just help you with it if it's going to be so time-consuming?"

The brain cells in your head stop and are like "Boi. If u don't shut up and let this plan happen istg-"

Meanwhile ur on the outside like "It's for Science and it has to do with stuff we're learning rn so I think it'll be a burden for you to do all that with me."

He shrugs, "It's not a burden if I'm doing it for you"

Ya ok audience go wild

But ur like used to this cute shit so u just roll eyes like "aight still a no but thanks."

And he just huffs & goes back to snuggling with you

"Don't leave me aloneeeee (y/n)"

"Girl if u don't let go of me rn I'll shove you off I swear."

Jaemin lets go of you right away because he doesn't want another bruise from smackin the ground after u shoved him one time

And you ruffle his hair as a way of saying goodbye then tell him to go sleep in his room so he doesn't fall asleep in the living room for the hundredth time

Yet before you leave, you still turn off the lights so his eyes don't hurt in case he does fall asleep

Aight. Diary time!! ^^

Day 1: it's actually Friday so u go to school and finesse ur way through classes, actually mingling with ur class-mates instead of texting Jaemin what he's doing or what his plans are for the night

And you feel a bit empty but it's okay cause you get more time to think about yourself and to go out and buy some cute new clothes

Day 2: you wake up on a fresh good Saturday morning thinking

"Oooooo it's such a perfect day to go to the park with Jaemin!"

But it hits u hardcore that u can't do that

And you look rlly sadly at your phone lockscreen of you and Jaemin making ugly faces together

Then you unlock it to look at your homescreen of you and Jaemin wearing matching hoods and posing like baddies

And u sigh

But u try to encourage yourself and with the help of nct 127 in ur head, u manage to make it thru all the way till the evening

When the stars are shining bright and fun

The moon's glowing and the neon signs around you illuminating your path back to your house from the convenience store

And all you can think about is Jaemin

About why he hasn't tried contacting you, even tho u clearly told him u can't talk to him for these 3 days

About why u feel so miserable without him and it's been just a bit less than 48 hours

And about if this really points to you possibly liking him

Okay, moving on from sad hours

Day 3: this is it.

After thinking of 500 theories the other night, you've now come to the conclusion that Jaemin hates you and isn't your best-friend

Aka he was waiting to drop ur sorry ass and u gave him the perfect chance for it because

still!!! no!!!! text!!!!! from!!!! him!!!

And ur tryna act unbothered except u can't take it and go over to ur second mom's dorm

Also known as Kun

Just to eat and chill cause u have no one to spend a lonely Sunday with

And Kun literally ushers you in, petting your head and feeding you soup like you're his grandchild

The #1 reason why you love coming over to the kunwoocas dorm

"Here eat some more (y/n), you look too thin nowadays like a twig! Put some meat on those bones!!" Kun says like the ole grandma he is

"I'm way too full seriously please feed some to Lucas."

And Lucas is like "I'll take some more!!! ^0^!!!"

But Kun gives him a glare so he goes back to slurpin out of his monster sized soup bowl

Y'all finish eating pretty quickly and it's only 1pm lol so you guys minus jungwoo (because he's lazy) end up going out (hella disguised) to watch a movie

And you hate horror movies but like Kun is with you so you aren't as afraid bc u still got a mom by your side except,,,,

It doesn't feel the same without Jaemin

And it dawns on you, at the moment you sit down with a bubbling Lucas on one side and a worry-stricken Kun telling him to be quiet on the other side,

that,

You like Jaemin.

You like Na Jaemin. But he probably only sees you as his friend.

And when the movie starts,

It's all you can think about

And it hurts.

It hurts to know that when you think about his kind brown eyes, dark hair and warm smile,

The way he hugs you when he sees you or how he always manages to have 1/3 of his body touching you whenever you're with him

That you love that and you like him

And you don't know if it's love but you're certain you think about him differently than just a friend

So you tell Kun you need to go the washroom and he gets up allowing you to walk by and out of the dark theater

Once you open the doors, the dim lights hit you and you look at the line forming at the concession stand

And you notice some certain dark-haired boys standing there laughing with each other and you're like

Oh shit

Cause it's Jaemin, Renjun, Jeno and Chenle

But you remember you're disguised pretty well to the point they won't recognize you and your face is covered in a black mask too

So you kind of just linger to the side where they are and overhear their convo

"Is this movie gonna be any good?" Jaemin asks the others

"Do you really think I'd recommend a dumbass movie and try to watch it? Is this how low you think my standards are??" Renjun gives the "I am disgusted" face

Jaemin shrugs, "Don't get your panties in a twist Dumbjun, I was just asking if it's worth it to bring (y/n) to watch it."

"Speaking of (y/n)," Jeno starts off,

"Where have they been for the past 3 days?"

Jaemin rubs the back of his neck and looks at the ground

Meanwhile ur anticipating heavily about his answer from a fake plant near the concession

"They've been busy and told me I can't keep in contact for these past almost 3 days."

Chenle gasps, "What if they're moving to Alaska???? Or NORTH KOREA????"

"Chenle wtf bro. No it's just like- I mean- I get it. Like I'm not really active in school anymore so I can't understand that part but they've always been by my side through everything I'm going through so it's time I respect their decision as well."

The boys nod at this and it's finally their turn in line and as Chenle and Renjun go up to get their popcorn Jeno turns to Jaemin

And you're just on the edge of the fake tree about to fall when he asks, "So do you like (y/n) or what?"

And,,,

That's when you fall

The whole room shuts up while fortunately your wig stays on properly and you just get up, brushing off your clothes and pick up the plant like its nbd

Before speed-walking off back into the movie theater

And you wedge yourself beside Kun and just sit there holding his arm and burying your face in it from still being embarrassed

But he doesn't even mind cause it's a scary movie and he's highkey freaked out too

When the movie finally finishes its time for dinner already

So y'all go out back into the sunset almost night while Lucas is still tryna reenact the movie

"The monster was like ahsjdjdjdjdjdjdgghhh and then the girl was like 'help me someone!' but then he was like 'ahajajahhsshdhhgggg no one can help you now bitch' and just ate her."

Kun is scared shitless walking but tries to put up a front and reaches for his man bag that has pepper spray as he scans the area

Aka Kun is ready to attac

But you're like "Y'all I'm starving what should we eat?"

Lucas just shrugs but Kun snaps his fingers making u jump a bit

"I've been wanting to try out this amazing five cheese mac and cheese recipe so we can have that for dinner!"

So y'all go back to the dorms and get out of your sweaty disguises and snack on crackers and chips while Kun is dicing and shredding away

"Why aren't you hangin with Jaems today?" Lucas pops a chip in his mouth and asks u

"Uhhhhh idk? I just wanted a day to myself?"

He looks at you, the bubbly cheery jumpiness gone and a disbelieving look replacing it

"(Y/n) you've spent like your entire life with him and you're always over atleast like 6 days in a week. But now all of a sudden, you choose to spend 3 days without him?"

You freeze, stopping your hand from grabbing a cracker

"How do you know that?"

Kun starts singing in the background while Lucas shrugs once again,

"That's all he's been talking about this weekend. And I don't even spend much time with him but Chenle and Renjun have come over to tell me that it's getting annoying and they just want you to to get a room and just get together already."

Your heart beats faster at his lame words

So he did care

Jaemin actually does care about you? And has been missing you as much as you've missed him???

You jump up, a burst of adrenaline shooting through u and say to Kuncas

"I'll be right back, I've gotta see someone."

And they both know who you're talking about

Lucas grumbling a "finally." but still smiling a bit proud of bein the one to instigate u

And Kun just shakes his head with a motherly smile, proud of you and what you've become

You run outta there and down to the first floor where the dreamies are and burst in

And they're all sittin down in front of the couch and for some reason there are other random people with them?

And you're like ???????

Cause you know they're not allowed to have parties but what is this????

You don't see Jaemin in sight anywhere but you try to focus on what's in front of you first

"What is this?" You say, crossing your arms like a mom

"Uh it's just some of our school friends (y/n) why u so mad lol" Jisung replies.

You shoot the boy a glare and he looks down at the ground while you politely say,

"Hey you guys, I'm sorry but nct dream isn't allowed any non member in this dorm unless they're family or from their company so you guys have to go now."

And the ppl look kinda high and snooty and one of em even has the balls to say,

"Well who are you to them then? Last time I checked, you're just a Jaemin follower."

And stg, ur boutta get up in their face and start throwin punches when you hear a voice say,

"(Y/n)'s not following me, I'm the one chasing after them."

And who pops out of his room?

Mr. Nananana nananana Jaemin.

Lookin rlly fine for some reason???

In just a simple black hoodie and gray sweats but like okAY?????!!!!

work it hunny??????

And he comes over to you, sliding his arm around your waist as he says with no emotion,

"So why don't you and your lil friends skedaddle on outta here."

The person who shot back at u gets all red and angrily ushers the others to go with them and they leave

Meanwhile the room is super silent until Chenle starts pterodactyl laughing and gets up saying,

"Well it's been fun guys but I'm off to sleep now."

"Yep!" "Me too!" "Couldn't have said it any better!"

"Hold it." Jaemin puts his hand out,

"Clean up this mess first and remember all of you, I don't care if you're older than me or not. But never invite anyone over unless it's like what (y/n) said, got it?"

Your heart is beating like 2pm's heartbeat and you're just kinda standing still while Jaemin's hand rests comfortably on your hip making you feel some typa way

But the boys listen to him and soon enough they're gone back into their rooms most likely makin a gc and venting about u two lol

Jaemin moves so that now he's behind you, both hands wrapped around your waist and his chin resting on your shoulder as he mumbles,

"What were you doing at the movies today?"

And you're like

Well shit

He caught me

And maybe it's cause you haven't seen him in so long nor been so close that,,,

Your whole body is super aware of his warm hands and the way you feel so safe being back-hugged by him

"I uh ummmm....."

He nuzzles his head into your neck, his warm breath blowing over it as he softly says,

"I really missed you, you know? I thought you weren't going to be available today so I didn't bother messaging you. Actually that was the hardest part, stopping myself from messaging you because I didn't wanna bother you."

His lips are right on your skin as he mumbles his random thoughts

and though Jaemin's always been one for skinship, he's never had his lips on any part of your skin before

"J-Jaemin, c-can you back up a b-bit."

You feel his lips twitch and he slowly glides them across your neck mumbling a why

But he knows goddamn why

With your irregular breathing and your hands over his, he knows just why you're feeling this way

You try to wiggle out of his arms but to no avail as his grip is strong

"Jaemin you're making me sweat can you let go of me so I can breathe properly?"

He obliges and let's go and you turn around to face him to speak but he beats ya to it

"I-I like you (y/n). And I know you've been avoiding me to see if you like me too." He blushes, his neck getting red and averts his soft brown eyes to your clothes as he continues,

"The others told me about it and told me to do the same thing so I, I actually listened and tried super hard not to contact you at all. And it worked. Except,"

Jaemin stepped in closer, your faces merely inches apart as he whispered,

"I realized I can't do this anymore and that I like you, possibly even love you. And I know you feel the same, you must, after creeping on me from behind a bush."

You stand still like a deer in headlights

So he did see that then

And you can't help yourself as you crack up in laughter to get rid of this awkward feeling

But you're hardcore yelling in your brain

That lil NANA likes you

And you feel so on top of the world you don't care about anything else as you put both of your hands on his cheeks and lean in

Kissing his soft pink lips and feeling the way he freezes before snaking his arms around you

bringing you closer so that your body molds into his

"Hey did you guys- OHMYGOD. YALL THEYRE KISSING THEYRE KISSINGGGGGG!!!!!!!!"

Is what you hear and immediately you pull yourself out of Jaemin's grip and turn around to see

All of the dreamies staring at you with their phones out

Chenle snappin pics

While the others are all videoing and yellin, "WORLDSSSSSTAAARRRRRRR"

but what did you expect really?

And let's just say y'all end up being a veerrrrryyy cute couple

That everyone likes to annoy all the time but like now it's more fun for you

Cause you feel more comfortable being like this with Jaemin

And you'd think,,,

You'd think after knowing him for so long that you wouldn't feel super shy and your heartbeat would get fast

But it does

Except you're still the same with him and his clingy personality

If anything your relationship just gives him an excuse to be more clingy to you lol

But and u Jaemin?

Possibly better otp than markhyuck????.........

But u didn't hear that from me tho 🙇🏻

x Omg just. This is one of the best ship blogs ever. Could you recommend more blogs like this maybe??

hun, i’m blushing. i don’t know if i can really help you out with recommendations for tomione only blogs because most things i reblog are fresh from the tag. i can however tell you about ppl in the community that i like and i think whose taste is lit.

there is @devdevlin - i think we have the same preferences regarding tom and hermione’s relationship dynamics, meaning that with the few drabbles i read from her by now there is was always hate and blood involved. (also i never talked to you, so hey there i think u freaky and i like u a lot :)

there is @ibuzoo who i don’t think needs any explanation because there is no way u don’t know her by now. i don’t know when she ever sleeps, as all she seems to do is create. it’s kinda unfair that she’s blessed with so many talents. take a look: she creates tons of beautiful edits, wrote various books and draws like a goddess.

and @meowmerson -this bitch came into my life and showed me the world and i don’t have the english words to describe what i so like about her writing style - but it’s refreshing, always entertaining and balances perfectly between big jumps and fine details AND she’s so good with mentioning little mimics and gestures.

also there are a few tomione fossils that i still know of, who basically poured the foundation for this ship, it’s tropes and it’s tag: @nerysdax (who is also deeply eloquent, funny and empathic imo), @colubrina :), @winterblume-3, @uchihabat, @batmansymbol, @serpentinred, @shan84, @immortalobsession i love all of u and am deeply thankful to you for creating tomione stuff when i was back in school.

aand here are some blogs that i always seem to reblog sth from but never manage to talk to (srsly i’m so bad at this guys sry) AAND bonus points for reylo too: @suavetoxique, @scavengcrs, @aconitumluparia, @baroquehermione, @elliwoodd, @tmriddles @hermioneandtom

ps: if there is anyone out there who feels addressed when it comes to being a tomione blog, just like this so ppl can see and i can follow you with my main blog

#Anonymous #wow this turned into a big shoutout

HEWWO EVERYBODY IT’S END OF YEAR RECAP TIME WITH ME: UR PAL ARDO

First of all if ur reading this, merry christmas if u celebrate it and happy holidays if u don’t!!! Y’all are amazing people and I hope this time of year is a good one for you, and if it’s not I hope you find the time to do smth nice for urself!!

Dam this year has been crazy tho. I mean if ur dash is anything like mine you’ve prob seen all those posts talking about how long this year has felt re: the sheer amount of stuff happening. But on a more individual level there’s some stuff I wanna say I guess so in no particular order here is my Thoughts™ coz there’s been some good, some bad, and some weird this year.

So, this year has been a kind of wild one for me in terms of things changing. The big one being that I started university and kinda lost contact with most of my pals from high school. All goods tho, coz I met some amazing new people thru tabletop gaming who idk if I’m at the friends point with yet, but I defo wanna try and get there coz they’re cool as heck. It’s true what people say that starting university is a big change coz DAM things have been wild and hopefully are gonna keep being wild next year espc coz one of my online friends is moving down to start at my university and I’m super excited to meet her in person!! Speaking of meeting people in person I finally got to hang out with @chipmunkwithwings at her place and that was one of the highlights of my year for sure! She’s a super cool person and that week was just utterly brilliant.

Anyways while we’re on the topic of friends this year sure has been exciting for that as well. I’ve made some amazing new ones, gotten closer with some older ones, had some drift apart and thru it all I’ve learnt something important. Namely that, there’s nothing wrong with the friends I had before, but I’ve felt so much better and it’s just been so much healthier for me now I’ve also started pursuing and focusing on friendships with people around my age. It sounds weird to say, but despite having a good collection of close friends there was a part of me that was lonely, and that part has kinda stopped being so much now not all my friends are 10ish years older than me.

That’s one thing I’ve discovered, but this year has been a big one for discovery for me. I tried a bunch of different papers and found out that I hate international relations and love philosophy. I’ve started learning Swedish!! And probably the biggest and most important discovery: thanks to my friends telling me “dude you really need to do this” I’ve gotten on anti-depressants!!! Which have really been helping me so much. That’s probably.... my biggest regret is that I didn’t get on them a few years ago. Still, I’m on them now and my head is just working so much better. Also, and I’ve talked about this in an earlier post so if you wanna kno deets you can go read it, I properly I guess remembered? stopped repressing? how a friend abused me a few years ago and started working thru the issues I have because of that.

At this point I’m gonna put things under a cut coz this is where shit is gonna get long.

Some letters, to the people I’ve known this year. I know a LOT of people so I’m prob gonna not mention anyone so if I don’t mention you: I love y’all. Ur so so fucking brilliant all of u and I’m honored to know you and to have had this chance to be in contact with y’all. I’m deeply sorry for any way I might have wronged you over this year, and if any of you wronged ME I forgive you entirely. If any of you haven’t really talked to me, but want to; or if we’ve drifted outta contact and you wanna pick things back up or ANYTHING at all feel free to msg me anytime. My discord is ardentlyThieving#4893 and this is an open invitation to anyone reading this coz there’s a ton of cool ppl on here who I haven’t talked to as much as I’d like. Anyways onto the individual stuff.

To the afternoon gang. You guys all mean so so fucking much to me, more than probably anyone else. Ur my best support network, my greatest pals. Being friends with you all is a fucking delight. I know I’m not always active in our server, but trust me that it’s nothing on you. I’ve enjoyed every moment hanging out with you guys. Or well, most of them at least :P. We have the wildest conversations and trust me, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I know some of you guys have had a hard time this year and I’m so sorry that you guys are going thru that shit coz y’all deserve so much better. It’s my deepest hope that next year is a good one for all of you and if there’s every anything I can do you guys know where to find me. I love you so so so so so much and I hope these last few days of 2018 are as good for you as they can possibly be.

To the people of Eff’s servers. You guys are super duper cool. Being salty with y’all is so much fun and also so deeply annoying that people keep pulling this shit that we gotta be salty about. I love the fact that we can go from shitty meme posting (usually my fault) to having in depth n thoughtful conversations about just about anything (hopefully usually not my fault). Y’all are amazing people and it feels like you’ve all found urselves a bit more this year, which I’m so happy for you about.

To Sakshi. That’s right, u get an individual one. Ur like, my hero. Srsly dude the fact that ur so fucking patient with the utter dumbasses msging you and that u started this whole deep conversation that ur not backing down from? I’m so proud of you, I admire you so much, and you have my utmost support. Hmu if you ever need me to drag someone for you. Also i’m sorry to out you as a gamer to the fine people of tumblr dot com (actually I’m not that sorry) but it’s been so much fun playing swtor with you. And salt watching things with you. I love how fun our friendship is and also how we can have proper deep conversations like 10/10 A+ content.

To Hammi. Dude you are awesomesauce. My fave lesbian pal. I love memeing with you and gaming with you and chatting with you. Here’s to another great year broski!

To Clare. We’ve only just met at the very end of this year and I’m so glad we did. Ur super cool and funny and I love ur art n posts.

To my swtor guild. Another group of wonderful people who I’ve only just met. i’m so fucking excited to get to know all of you better coz y’all have such great swtor opinions and are so much fun to play with. Sorry about what I did to the Gizka flagship bridge lmao.

To Sofa. DUDE HI! becoming friends with you this year has been one of the highlights. Thank you for all the support you’ve given me and for all the fun times we’ve had. I adore playing video games with you and I fucking love ur swtor ocs. You’ve been there for me so much, and I hope I’ve been there for you as well. Thank you for everything.

To Marie. Yet another person I met later on this year and haven’t had the chance to get so close with. Defo my bad there I need to msg you more often. Thanks for being there for me, even though I was kind of a shitty friend to you at one point. I didn’t deserve ur patience but you gave it to me anyway and I’m so fuckin grateful for that. I hope to make that up to you in the coming year. <3

To Jason. We were tight at the start of the year and kinda drifted apart which I regret. Msg me anytime dude and if you ever reinstall swtor you should totally hmu coz playing it with you was a ton of fun!!

To Traya. I know we’ve only talked on and off this year, but I’m so excited for you to be at my university and to hang out in person!! Hang in there dude, coz there’s so many cool people for you to meet and take it from me that university really is so much better than college.

Ok this is where the happy positivity ends!! Again I love y’all so much and I hope that next year is better for all of you then this one was!!! Thanks for being pals with me, I appreciate it so much even when I’m not great at showing it.

Coz there’s one more letter I gotta write coz after however many years I want closure. This is where it ends.

To Teri. Wow. I never thought I’d be saying ur name again. Well typing, but w/e. That first year we were friends was so fucking good and I’m glad we had that, coz you were a pretty cool person. I dunno why you decided to change all that and start hurting me and I’m probably never gonna understand but you know what? That’s ok. I don’t need to. You hurt me, I got out. I’m not sure, but I think you were being hurt by people as well and I hope you got out like I did. No matter how badly you treated me you still don’t deserve to be abused urself. Nobody deserves that. I don’t know if I forgive you, and I don’t know if I ever will, but I hope things are better for you now. I’m sorry for the times I wronged you while we were friends. This isn’t me saying I deserved to be abused by you, because I sure as hell didn’t, but well. Two wrongs don’t make a right and ur abuse doesn’t magically erase the times I wasn’t the greatest friend. I thought ignoring the things you did to me would make things better, but instead I let it all fester inside me and change my behaviour without realizing that’s what happened. So this is me letting go of it all. Coz you don’t get to fuckin take anything else away from me. I’m better now than I was then despite everything you did to me. This is me, making a conscious choice to heal and move on and grow. It’s not gonna be easy, but imma do it and it’s gonna be so fucking wonderful. This is Arden signing out because you don’t GET to have any control over my life anymore. Never ever again.

I’ll Sing a Song Beside You-12

Read on Ao3!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13

Chapter Twelve

Marinette wakes to 12 unread texts from Alya. She’s kind of useless in the morning but the threat of something happening to her friend has Marinette on alert. She quickly sits up, ignoring the wave of dizziness it causes and unlocks her phone.

Alya: MArinette!!!

!!!!!

Did you see?????

Ans wer meee

Theyre dating o.0

Go on

Ladyblog

So many ppl sent me pics of them making out

Like they were srsly going at it on the eiffel tower

Newscasters want to interview me cuz i was the one to break the scoop!!!!

THEYRE DATING ASDLHSDFAD

OMG just wake up and answer me already

Marinette stares at her phone in horror. With shaky hands, she goes on the Ladyblog on her phone and sees it, right on the homepage. The picture is a little blurry, but it is unmistakably a zoomed in picture of Ladybug and Chat Noir in a very...compromising position.

Apparently making out at the top of the Eiffel Tower is not a good idea if you’re a famous superhero and want to keep your relationship a secret.

“Tikki,” Marinette yelps, “what do I do?”

Tikki flies over to her and peers at the picture on the screen. Instead of providing any ancient and wise godly advice, Tikki giggles. “Aww, you two are so cute!”

“So not the point!”

“There’s nothing you can do about it now, Marinette. Maybe learn to have a bit more self-control next time.”

Marinette groans, her face growing hot, and locks her phone. Since she’s already awake, she starts getting ready for school, determined not to think about her public humiliation.

“You’re up early,” her mom says when Marinette stumbles into the kitchen 15 minutes later.

“Alya woke me up,” Marinette responds. She still hasn’t answered and has 3 more texts from the girl. She’ll deal with it at school.

Her mom heads to the cabinet to get a bowl while Marinette gets the milk from the fridge. “Is everything okay?”

“She’s fine,” Marinette says as she pours her cereal. “Chat Noir and Ladybug are officially a couple so Ayla’s freaking out.”

“I always figured they were dating,” her mom says, which is just so not what she wants to hear right now.

“Why does everyone keep saying that?”

“What? They make a cute pair.”

Marinette feels her face heat up. “Well, yeah but I’m sure they want their privacy. I wouldn’t want my love life broadcasted for all of Paris to see.”

“That’s true.”

“And how did anyone even see them in the first place? They were so high up!”

“Oh, you know how it is with celebrities, dear. They can never catch a break.”

“But they’re not celebrities, they’re superheroes!”

“I’m sure they’d appreciate that thought but most people don’t share that sentiment, unfortunately,” her mom says, patting Marinette’s shoulder. “Now, I need to get down to the bakery. Have a good day, sweetie.”

“You too, Maman.”

Her mom kisses her forehead before heading down. Marinette finishes her breakfast deep in thought. On the one hand, she’s still not happy that the whole world knows she’s dating Chat Noir. On the other hand, hearing her mom speak approvingly of her relationship was nice. Just thinking about it brings a much-needed warmth to her chest.

There’s no point in wasting any more time so Marinette braces herself before heading out to school, ready to face Alya.

Naturally, Alya pounces on Marinette as soon as she enters the room. “Girl, you need to answer your phone.”

“I was sleeping and then getting ready.”

“Did you at least read my texts? Did you see?”

“That Chat Noir and Ladybug are dating? Yeah, I saw.”

“I am so rubbing this in Chloé’s face,” Alya gloats. Marinette rolls her eyes but can’t help the small smile that forms on her lips.

“Morning ladies,” Nino says as he and Adrien take their seats. Marinette smiles at them and looks away. She wonders if she’ll ever feel comfortable around Adrien Agreste.

“Morning!” Alya says. “Did you guys hear the news?”

“No, what happened?”

“Chat Noir and Ladybug are the hottest couple in Paris.”

“Wait, what,” Adrien asks, whipping around in his seat. “What do you mean?”

“Chat Noir and Ladybug were caught kissing on the Eiffel Tower. It’s all over the Ladyblog and I’m going for an interview on Nadja Chamack’s channel this Thursday to discuss it!”

Adrien catches Marinette’s eye, blushes, and looks away, leaving Marinette flustered and confused. “Oh. I didn’t realize… I didn’t look at the blog this morning.”

“Check it out when you have the chance! It’s so perfect.” Alya turns to Marinette and her face falls. “Hey, I know I’ve been freaking out about this but are you okay?”

“Yes?” Marinette tilts her head in confusion, unsure why she would even ask. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“I know you and Chat Noir were… something.”

“Oh my gosh,” Marinette exclaims, hiding her heated face behind her hands. She can feel Adrien’s eyes on her and her face burns hotter. He must think she has such a fickle heart. “How many times do I have to tell you there is no scandalous relationship between us?”

“Marinette, that boy is, like, obsessed with you. Or something.”

“Definitely or something,” Marinette says. “There’s nothing there. He loves Ladybug and I like…someone else.”

It feels wrong using her crush on Adrien to defend her lack of relationship with Chat Noir, but she doesn’t know what else to do. She hates lying, especially to her best friend but she can’t exactly admit that she’s dating Chat. She just hopes Alya never finds out she rejected Adrien.

“You’re sure you’re not upset? You don’t seem very happy about the news.”

“I’m just tired. Someone kept texting me this morning and it woke me up.”

“As long as you’re sure. I could kick Chat Noir’s butt if he hurt you.”

“Trust me,” Marinette says, glad she can at least be honest about this. “I couldn’t be happier for them.”

“Hey, Pretty Lady,” Chat says, popping his head through the sunroof.

Marinette can feel her whole body perk up at the sight of him. Even knowing what she wants to say to him, she feels better just seeing him. “Hey yourself.”

He plops himself onto the bed then heads down the ladder to sit near her. He grabs the extra rolling chair and slides next to her. “How was your day?”

“I don’t want to talk about that right now,” Marinette says, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He frowns. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Don’t really feel like talking,” she replies before pressing her lips against his. She never realized how addictive kissing could be until she got a partner who was willing to partake in it. And Chat Noir is a very willing partner. He pulls her closer and she falls onto his lap. They giggle for a second before taking advantage of their new position.

She manages to get lost in the kiss for a while, but they need to breathe at some point and they both know the reason he’s there; there’s no getting out of it.

“So,” Chat says after they’ve had a chance to catch their breaths.

“So,” she repeats.

“Everyone knows about us.”

“It would appear so.”

“Is that…ok?”

Marinette sighs and starts playing with the ends of his hair. “I don’t really think that matters at this point.”

“I’m sorry. I should have realized people would catch us.”

“It’s not any more your fault than it is mine. We got busted, plain and simple.”

“It’s just. You don’t seem very happy.”

“I didn’t realize how dedicated people were to stalking us. Alya, I knew, used to follow us around a lot but she chilled out eventually and I kind of thought everyone else did too? But, like, apparently a lot of people sent in pictures. It started to make me think about how dedicated they might be to following us around.”

“My Lady, no one will catch us detransforming. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“That… wasn’t even what I was worried about but oh my gosh we need to seriously be careful when we transform!” Marinette removes her hands from Chat to start pulling on her own hair. “You already caught me once because I was too quick and reckless. If anyone catches us then we—”

Chat covers her mouth with his own, effectively cutting off her downward spiral of nerves. “You worry too much sometimes,” he says.

“Never cut off a lady when she’s speaking,” Marinette reprimands.

“Why? So I could hear about how we’re going to end up dying in a ditch somewhere or Hawkmoth is going to rise to power and take over the world?”

“…I was going to say we’d become brainless minions for him,” she admits reluctantly.

“Mari, I love you but sometimes your thought process scares me,” Chat laughs. “I’ve never met anyone with an imagination quite like yours.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment, thank you very much.”

“As you should,” he says, giving her an eskimo kiss. “So, what were you going to say before I put words in your mouth?”

“What if someone catches you coming in here,” she asks, her voice small.

“That’s not going to happen.”

“How do you know?”

“I’ve been coming here for ages and no one’s noticed. The first time we kiss in public and the whole world sees; I’d definitely be caught by now if it were going to happen.”

“You can’t know that, Chat. It’s dangerous. We’re playing with fire right now.”

“Marinette, what do you want me to do, stop visiting you?”

Marinette looks down and bites on her lip.

“Mari, you can’t be serious.”

“We could be risking my identity, my family, my friends.”

Chat gently grabs her face. “I would never let anything bad happen to you or your loved ones. I’ll be more careful if you want, but I’m not going to stop seeing my girlfriend.”

“We could just go on more patrols and—”

“Our whole romantic life would be under a microscope.”

“I’d rather that than have Hawkmoth go after my parents,” Marinette snaps.

“If you’d just let me show myself we wouldn’t even have to have this talk.”

“You make it sound like it’s my decision. I want to know who you are as badly as you want to tell me but, again, safety needs to be considered here.”

“We could make it work.”

“Chat, no,” Marinette says, with as much of her Ladybug authority as she can channel. It’s enough to shut him up so she must do a pretty good job.

They sit in silence, avoiding each other’s eyes for a while. Her heart is pounding frantically in her chest while she tries to think of something to say that’ll cut the tension. Her mind is running circles, though, so Chat’s the one who breaks the silence. “Okay, so no more late night visits. I’ll do it.”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t want to fight or break up over this. I just got you, I don’t want to lose you already.”

“You’re not going to lose me, Chaton. I’m yours forever. I think this is the safest option for now until we figure something out. Deal?”

“Anything for you, mon amour.”

Marinette blushes at the nickname and hides herself in his neck. She’s gotten so used to seeing Chat on a nearly nightly basis, it’s going to be weird—and difficult—not having him stop by anymore. But she knows she’s making the right decision. Two people have already accused Chat and Marinette of having some sort of affair and she can’t afford to let that list grow.

“Since I’m already here,” Chat says, lifting her head off him with a delicate hand, “we might as well make the most of it.”

“I like the way you think,” she says before crushing her lips to his. They don’t get much talking done for the rest of the night.

-- Two weeks pass and Marinette is going crazy. She still stands by her decision but she doesn’t get as much time with Chat as she used to—they tried bringing their work to a random roof one day but it left them chasing after papers and losing homework so they agreed to get all their work done before meeting up—and she misses his company.

So, yeah, when an akuma shows up and interrupts her outing with Rose and Juleka, Marinette gets excited. She will take any time she can get with Chat. It might come at the personal expense of someone’s autonomy and half of Paris but… nope. She can’t even properly rationalize her happiness. She’s a horrible person and is completely taking advantage of her powers but she can’t bring herself to care at the moment.

“Fancy meeting you here, M’Lady,” Chat says when he drops in next to her, pressing his body infuriatingly close.

Ladybug takes a second to peck Chat on the cheek before resuming her surveillance of the akuma. Except she has no idea where they went. Ladybug curses under her breath and shoots off in the direction she thinks they might have gone.

They’re not usually this distracted when fighting akumas but their distance is definitely taking its toll on them both. She needs to get it together before someone gets hurt.

“If we split up we might be able to find her faster,” Chat suggests, keeping Ladybug’s pace.

“I don’t want to split up,” Ladybug says petulantly but they both know he’s right so it’s with some trepidation that she turns left and he goes right.

She swings through the city, looking for any sign of disruption. She doesn’t understand how a little old lady could move as quickly as she does. After nearly ten minutes of fruitless searching, she gets a call.

“Bee,” she says, just as she catches sight of someone hopping around tied in yarn. She makes a sharp turn to head in the direction that person just came from.

“Where are you? Rena’s already detransformed and Chat’s going to any minute now as well.”

“Why didn’t you call me earlier then,” Ladybug asks, exasperated. She pulls up Queen Bee’s location and rushes over, noting that the akuma is dangerously close to her house.

“She keeps throwing sewing needles at us,” Bee says the moment Ladybug joins them on the street.

“Okay, avoid those,” Ladybug says, immediately using her yoyo as a shield.

“Obviously.”

“No need to get wound up, Bee. But a lucky charm would be off the hook,” Chat says as he spins his baton as quickly as he can, taking a moment to show his dwindling pawprints. Ladybug can tell he’s losing energy but she’s glad he has enough to make bad puns.

“Right,” Ladybug says. She stops spinning her yoyo, preparing to call on her power, when Chat yelps. “What’s wrong,” she asks, turning to face him, and startles when she sees him sprinting toward her.

“Ladybug, look—” Chat Noir takes a needle right to his head and gets thrown back into a wall.

“Chat,” Ladybug screams but he doesn’t respond. She is never going to get used to seeing him get hurt because of her. As if she needs to feel even more guilty, Chat’s ring beeps, reminding her that he only has about a minute left before he transforms.

Without giving it much thought, Ladybug scoops up her boyfriend and yells a quick “I’ll be right back!” She throws him over her shoulder and swings off to her balcony.

Ladybug crashes through her sunroof and unceremoniously tosses the unconscious Chat Noir onto her bed. She takes a deep breath, trying not to panic. All she has to do is defeat the akuma and he’ll wake up and be fine. It’ll all work out.

She hears frantic beeping and sees the beginning of a flash of green light before she clamps her eyes shut and spins around.

“Oh, my poor aching body,” a voice speaks. “I need cheese to make it better.”

“...Plagg,” Marinette asks. She’s pretty sure that’s the name of Chat’s kwami.

“Ladybug,” he responds. “You got any cheese?”

“I, uh, no I don’t think so,” she says apologetically. There’s probably cheese downstairs but she’s Ladybug right now, not Marinette, and she doesn’t have time to snoop through the kitchen.

“Chat Noir might have some in his jacket pocket for me.”

“Okay, so get it.”

“I’m too weak to move,” he says dramatically.

Ladybug purses her lips at him in annoyance. “I can’t get it without looking at him.”

“So? I need the cheese more than he needs to protect his identity.”

That makes Ladybug pause. Chat’s complained about Plagg plenty of time—he’s lazy, all he wants to do is sleep and eat cheese, he doesn’t take anything but cheese seriously—but she always assumed those were exaggerations. When it comes down it, she was sure, Plagg would put the duty of the miraculous above all else. But now he’s telling her it’s okay to look at his charge just so he can be fed.

And she is painfully tempted to do it.

“You don’t care if I know who he is?”

“Cheeeeeese,” he says.

“I thought I wasn’t supposed to know.”

“You’re not.”

“But you don’t care?”

“Look, talking like this is using up what little energy I have. Do or do not, I don’t care. But get me my cheese, however you can.”

He’s basically handing her Chat’s identity on a silver platter. Tikki isn’t there to scold her and Plagg is the devil on her shoulder, telling her to look. It would be so easy. And she knows Chat himself wouldn’t object; he’s been begging to tell her for ages now.

She turns her head in the direction she knows Chat is in and gropes around until her hand touches his shoulder. One second. That’s all she needs to know who he is. She has a strong feeling that Chat knows her as a civilian so she’s assuming she’ll recognize him.

And then they can be together for real. Nothing would hold them back. They could go on dates and cuddle in her bedroom and she could visit him for once.

She lets her hand glide across his chest, feeling his muscles through his cotton shirt, taking note of the lump where she assumes the cheese is. She finds the end of the overshirt and grips it. He’s never been more real, more tangible, than in this moment. This isn’t just Chat Noir on her bed, it’s the boy behind the mask. The boy she is madly in love with.

She lifts the light material and feels around until she locates the inner pocket.

“I have your cheese,” she says, holding the stinky wedge up.

That is enough, apparently, to get Plagg to fly over to her.

“Mmm cheese.” He grabs the cheese from her. Marinette’s empty hand goes limp and she lets it fall on Chat’s chest.

“I need to get back to the fight,” she says, standing up.

“I got it hand it to you,” Plagg says through his mouthful of cheese, “I didn’t think you’d actually resist.”

“Neither did I,” she admits.

“Marinette!” Ladybug freezes at the sound of her mother’s voice calling up to her.

“Y-yes,” she calls back, turning to face the trapdoor and opening her eyes. She has no idea what she’ll do if her mom enters and sees a passed-out boy on her bed and Ladybug standing over him.

“I didn’t realize you were home!”

“Uh, yeah,” Ladybug says, wincing. “I just got back. You must have missed me!”

“I heard voices. Do you have someone over?”

Ladybug glances at Plagg in a panic, hoping he’ll provide some help but he’s just snickering in front of her. Chat is right; least helpful kwami ever.

“I was watching a video! Sorry, I’ll turn it down.”

“Why don’t you come down here? There’s an akuma on the loose and you know your father and I would prefer if we could see you.”

“I—ah—I’m really busy right now, Maman!”

“Whatever you’re doing could surely wait a little bit.”

“Not really! It’s super important!”

“Marinette, I need help with dinner anyway. Please, come down and appease your poor parents.”

Her mom’s footsteps send Ladybug in a frenzy. She jumps down to the sitting area of her room and plops herself on the trapdoor.

“Marinette?” Her mom knocks on the door.

“Don’t come in,” Marinette calls. She should have transformed back earlier. Now it’s too late and her mom will see the light and get suspicious. This is a disaster. “I’m changing!”

“I expect you back downstairs in ten minutes,” her mother says. Ladybug sits still, straining her ears until she can no longer hear her mother’s steps.

“Oh my gosh, that was close,” Ladybug says, letting out a long breath. Her mother’s words catch up to her. “I have ten minutes to defeat the akuma and make it back!”

She shoots up and heads back to her bed to exit through her sunroof before coming to a screeching halt.

In her panic, she forgets about Chat Noir laying detransformed on her bed. In her panic, she forgets to avert her eyes.

Her brain completely shuts down as her eyes rove all over his body. She takes in his orange sneakers, his denim-clad legs, his typical black shirt with white overshirt. His hair is neater this way, well-kept and perfectly styled. His eyes are closed but she knows what they look like behind those lids; she’s spent hours upon hours memorizing his face.

Ladybug allows herself two seconds of freaking out, letting out a high-pitched whine, before she gathers herself and leaps out. She has an akuma to defeat. She can worry about the knocked-out Adrien Agreste in her bed later.

Much later.

LMWTV4U: GOT S7E5

Welcome back! In case you’re new, this is “Let me watch TV 4 U,” the blog where I watch TV so you don’t have to. I’ll be recapping Game of Thrones, Season 7 Episode 5 and SPOILERS ABOUND SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Tonight’s episode was titled “Eastwatch” but a more fitting title would have been “Don’t I know you from a few seasons ago?” If you’ve been following GoT for awhile, you might know that “unlikely alliances” is one of George R.R.R.R.R. Martin’s go-to-setups. He really gets off on taking 2 characters who are TOTAL OPPOSITES on paper and watching them learn to get along, just like the premise of all sitcoms. Well all of these unlikely pairs have been meeting, forming bonds, and saying goodbye for the past 7 seasons and NOW we’re apparently at the part where we have to watch them meet back up again. It kind of sounds like a kewl idea but idk about you, it just turns into a mess as a viewer because you have to remember how/when/where everyone met before. It’s like watching a livestream of a very tense high school reunion.

All that being said, some shit went DOWN tonight, so let’s go!

First of all, we get a new location on the map in the beginning, Eastwatch! If you’ll recall this is the place where Gingerbae (my fave wildling and #2 crush after Bae- Jon Snow) went to guard the wall at the behest of Bae a few eps ago.

Our first scene takes place right after last week’s epic dragon battle...

We learn that Jaime and Bronn are both still alive and we have to watch Jaime spit up seawater and I’m like who do you think you are, Euron Greyjoy?!? (lol that joke only works if you watched last season, sorry). Bronn is like dude, do you have a death wish? And Jaime is like kind of… cuz my sis Queen Pixie Cut (QPC) is a “shoot the messenger” type and now I have to tell her about all this dragon business.

Speaking of, we get some more hot-dragon-action (and I meant hot as in temp-wise, not sexual...yet...wait til Bae gets his fingers on a dragon). Tyrion is looking around at all the hell Khaleesi hath wrought and seems pretty sad about it. Remember he is a Lannister, so a lot of people who got burnt up were his home-bois.

He walks over to Khaleesi who has rounded up the surviving Lannisters and is looking FLY AS HELL post-battle scene. Seriously, who does her hair? Probs a Dothraki cuz #goodatbraids. Khaleesi tells all the captured soldiers to kneel before her and declare loyalty to her or get killed. Sams mean dad (SMD) and Sam’s Bro Dickon (SBD) refuse to kneel because they’re #tooproudtobeg and Khaleesi is like, srsly guys? But they are truly #tooproud, so they both get burned up by the dragon, per Khaleesi’s orders. All of this is very not cool with Tyrion and he makes that pretty clear.

Next, we pop over to King’s Landing where Jaime is about to drop some #truth on QPC…

He tells her things are not looking so hot (or are they looking VERY HOT? Get it? Cuz dragons...sorry I’ll stop now) and that the Dothrakis (Khaleesi’s horse people) and dragons will kill them all. QPC suggests they hire mercenaries but Jaime is not feeling it. Then Jaime drops truth bomb #2 and tells QPC that he recently got the scoop that Grandma Tyrell admitted to killing their son Joffrey. See QPC was CONVINCED that Tyrion killed Joffrey which is what eventually led T to flock to #teamkhaleesi. Jaime is maybe able to convince her of this fact and that they might have to surrender to Khaleesi. She’s basically like well, damned if you do, damned if you don’t, ya know? The theme of this scene is TROUBLE IN PARADISE.

Now to the Bae-on-dragon action I promised…

Bae is waiting at the arrivals gate for Khaleesi and #1 dragon like a sad little chauffeur when Mr. Dragon lands right on his toes. Rather than giving Mr. Dragon a wide berth, he walks right up to him and TOUCHES HIS NOSE like he’s friggin’ Moana (Moana fans where you at?) Mr. D is like about to bite at first but then he’s like, naw, you’re cool. Probably because Bae is secretly a Targaryen and they’re all about dragons. Bae asks Khaleesi about her business trip and she’s like I TCOB’ed if that’s what you mean and says “sometimes strength is terrible” but that as leaders, they have to be strong.

Khaleesi then starts to ask Bae about the knife-in-the-heart comment that No-Knuckles (NK) made a few weeks ago and before Bae has to uncomfortably describe his weird Lazarus-situation to her, Stoney shows up, fresh off being cured of his stone disease by none other than Bae’s bestie Sam. The artist formerly known as Stoney (but let’s just keep calling him Stoney for now) is like will you still have me, Khaleesi? And she’s like DOI, OF COORS. And Bae is like oh I knew your dad he was a kewl dude he gave me this sword.

We get a brief interlude with everyone’s fave sooth-sayer, Brandon Stark! He hops into the eyeballs of some birds who fly North to get an update on the ice-zombie-army. As we all suspected, the ice zombies are CLOSER THAN EVER and headed to Eastwatch. This should not be a surprise because every time we check on them they’re just walking further South and unlike humans do not need to stop to eat or pee or get their hair intricately braided.

We pop into Oldtown, where Sam hears about Bran’s report. He tells all the other Maesters that they should listen to him but they, as always, are like naw this shit can’t be real. Also Maester-Jim-Broadbent is like BTW, Sam’s dad and bro just got burnt up but don’t say anything to him.

Back to Dragonstone…

Where Tyrion and sleevey recap sam's dad and bro getting killed and agree that it was not cool, bro. Sleevey helpfully recalls a time when Khaleesi’s dad was always burning people alive. Sleevey reveals that Bae got a letter in the mail and yes, he did read it which is a FEDERAL OFFENSE, SLEEVEY! You can’t afford to go to prison!

Bae gets his hands on the letter from his bro Bran and learns A LOT. A. Bran is alive. B. Arya is alive. And C. The Night-King (leader of the ice zombies) is coming to Eastwatch. Again, this should be a surprise to no one. He talks things through with Khaleesi and co. to devise a plan and everyone has something to contribute, you guys! Here’s the plan

Tyrion will talk to his bro to try to convince him that ice zombies are real, who will then convince QPC.

NK will use his smugglin’ skills to smuggle T into King’s Landing (at this point it should really be Queen’s landing, right?)

Bae will head up north and capture an ice zombie to bring to everyone for proof. Stoney will use his battling skills to help with this.

Khaleesi is not about to let Bae go, though, probs cuz she wants more hot cave-action. But Bae is like sorry G2G!

Back in Winterfell and trouble is afoot!

Sansa is sitting at her in-charge-table and all the “Northern Lords” (although everyone’s fave 11-year-old-kween is nowhere to be seen) are still griping about Bae being down South with Khaleesi. Sansa doesn’t accept their offer to basically put her in charge, but she doesn’t defend Bae too much either. Arya, who was always besties with Bae when they were all kiddos, is not ok with that. She calls her out on it and notices that Sansa is staying in their mom and dad’s old room. She’s like ummm… you always liked nice things. Which is such a classic Winterfell-burn.

They chat and learn that they have very different views on uniting people and consolidating power. Arya is little more murder-y but Sansa is a little more scheme-y. Which better? IDK I haven’t read “The Art of War.” Basically, Arya knows that Sansa is still a bit power-hungry and calls her out on it. But I did read “Lean In” and I’m like, is that so bad?

Later, we pop back into King’s Landing where Arya is tailing Littlefinger cuz #shedontlikethelooksofthisguy, He’s being shady, as always, handing out poision, scheming with the Northern Lords, and then she sees the Maester give LF a piece of paper and she’s like oooohh I gotta get my hands on that. LF hides the paper in his room but, bitch, didn’t you know Arya is a trained assassin from the face-swapping-cult now?

She finds the paper which looks like this letter that Sansa wrote back in Season 1 when she was being forced by QPC. It’s basically her asking #teamStark to swear loyalty to Joffrey, all of which is irrelevant because most of Team Stark, along with Joffrey, is dead. Then we see LF behind the scenes looking all satisfied. Why you may ask? Well it seems like LF is trying to drive a wedge between the sisters by making Arya distrust Sansa even more. IDK I don’t condone violence but I really just want someone to stab LF.

Back to team Khaleesi, Tyrion and NK roll up on Queen’s Landing…

Tyrion reminds us all that the last time he was here, he killed his dad. NK is like well the last time I was here, you killed my son! You’d think there would be some sort of resolution with that but nope, NK was just throwing it out there! Tyrion heads off to see his bro and NK heads off on a secret mission that IS VERY CUTE, just wait and see.

Bronn sets up a meeting between Tyrion and Jaime, who haven’t seen each other since Jaime saved Tyrion from getting killed (per QPC and their dad’s orders). T proceeded to shoot their dad to death on the toilet, so Jaime is understandably a little peeved. Tyrion explains why he came and asks if Jaime could ask QPC if she might possibly be into checking out an ice zombie if they can get one. Jaime is still peeved but considers this helpful offer.

Meanwhile, we get a reunion of 2 of our faves, NK and Gendry!!!! So non-GoT-watchers, Gendry is this dude who is secretly the son of Robert Baratheon, QPC’s ex-hubby and the former king. Only a few ppl knew this, and to protect him from QPC, he got sent North to the wall with Arya. He and Arya developed a cute lil’ friendship and then he met up with some Lord-of-Light (LOL) worshippers, the same ones who the Hound (remember from ep 1 of this season) is now traveling with. Then the red witch lady came and took him to Stannis to have leeches eat his blood but before the red witch could kill him, NK set him free and sent him on a rowboat back to King’s Landing. So here we are…

They reunite and it’s adorbs, since Gendry is like thanks for saving my life, you were right I ended up being safe here. And NK is like oh good, so I have a favor to ask, will you come with us? It’s for- and before he can finish Gendry is like NP my bags are packed let’s go. And NK is like do you want more info...or… and Gendry is like nope this place is the pits, let’s go, lemme get my hammer. And I AM FEELING THIS HAMMER y’all, Gendry is basically Thor of GoT now. And he shall henceforth be known as New-Thor.

NK and New-Thor head to the boat to leave Queen’s Landing and encounter some guards who aren’t gonna let them off that easy. Just when they bribe their way out of there, Tyrion shows up and the guards are like...you look familiar? So New-Thor kindly uses his hammer and demolishes those dudes, leaving T and NK both stunned and impressed.

While we’re still at Queen’s Landing, we see Jaime knocking on QPC’s door, but she’s busy with Maester Qyburn, having some deep discussion. We also learn Qyburn is the hand-of-the-queen (did we know this before? It was news to me). Jaime is like what we’re y’all talking about, and QPC is like I’m sorry, HIPAA, I can’t tell you. Then she tells him that she knows he met with Tyrion and that he should punish Bronn for setting that up. She also hints that she’s willing to do a collab with Khaleesi but then she’s like “we will defeat whatever stands in our way” which doesn’t sound very collab-y to me.

Then, in a major reversal, SHE DROPS A TRUTH BOMB ON HIM and tells him she’s PREGNANT and the baby is HIS. He is shook but also very happy because he loves her a lot. He’s like who you gonna say knocked you up? And she’s like it’s 2017, bitch, I’ll say it was my twin bro cuz #hatersgonnahate. Do we believe she is really preggo? I do not. Classic desperation move when you see your man starting to slip away. But nonetheless he is happy about it so there’s that.

Next, we head back to Dragonstone...

Where Bae meets New-Thor in Bae’s fave place, a cave! They reminisce about how their dads were friends and New-Thor calls out Bae on being a little shorty-pie. We think Bae is gonna be like “ah hell naw” but instead he’s like LOL you’re right bro. New-Thor offers to head North with Bae to kill some ice-zombies with his hammer. NK is a little peeved because he told New-Thor not to tell anyone who his dad was and not to get himself into trouble. NK’s like well don’t mind me, I only lived to be an old man so what do I know about surviving? It’s a very cute scene and it all plays out like a dad playfully chastising his sons for picking a college that’s too far away.

On the shore we get some goodbyes. Tyrion and Khaleesi both say goodbye to Stoney and Khaleesi is especially sappy about it. Then she says goodbye to Bae, who is busy loading up his boats with zombie-killing-rocks from the caves. She’s like, so…I’ll call you next week? And Bae’s like umm….maybe? But you know they’re both fighting the urge to pop into a cave for a quick makeout sesh.

Next, we see Sam and Gilly in Oldtown reading books…

Gilly happens upon the MOST IMPORTANT INFO EVER in a book, which Sam, in a very-un-Sam-like way, completely ignores. It’s infuriating. Basically she finds out that Bae’s real parents, Rhaegar Targaryen (Khaleesi’s bro) and Lyanna Stark (Daddy Stark’s sis) were legit married when she had Bae, which means he is the ONE-TRUE-HEIR to the iron throne or whatevs. Sam, however, is too peeved about the Maesters not listening to him (or Bran for that matter) and gathers up some of the best books in the library (and he is in for the late fee OF A CENTURY cuz you know he won’t return ‘em) and heads out of there. It’s a frustrating scene. I just..can’t...

Finally, we make it to Eastwatch...

Where we get to check in with Gingerbae my #2 boo. Bae tells him the plan to trap the ice zombie and bring it back as proof and Gingerbae is like you are cuckoo. NK is there to confirm that yes, Bae is cuckoo, and no, he’s not going North with them. But on the docket we do have New-Thor with his hammer and Stoney with his un-stoned-hands and arms to help! Gingerbae is like well I know some other dudes who want to get up there...cut to…

The Hound and his LOL-ers Eyepatch and Gingerbun (am I the only one who finds Gingerbun kind of attractive?) are in Eastwatch-prison, doing a very poor version of Cellblock Tango from Chicago, the musical. This is the scene where the whole-don’t-I-know-you-from-somewhere gets really messy. No need to dive into all of it, the point is, these people have HISTORY with eachother. But Bae reminds them that since they’re all humans and not zombies, they’re on the same side. So they head out into the deep, cold, winter to trap and ice zombie. And we’re left there.

Let’s recap:

Biggest surprise this ep: QPC IS PREGNANT?!?!?!

Biggest letdown: Seriously Sam. You could not listen to the most important news ever because you were distracted?

Important fashion moments: Khaleesi lookin’ so fly fresh out of battle, Sansa is really rocking those fitted armor gowns

Who died this ep? Sam’s Bro Dickon (RIP) and Sam’s Mean Dad
