#but taht one might be a mess

[bl-recs-and-reviews]

Korean BL has the toughest fight to fight. And not just because it came in later.

Not only it's at a disadvantage because, out of all the countries producing popular BLs, it has the most amount of constraints and homophobia, but also they're actively working against themselves.

First of all, contrary to Thailand (where the lgbtq community might not have a lot of rights but are an ever present and constant presence on TV and media) and Japan (where homosexuality is normalized, despite the older generation's homophobia, and BL has been made for over 50 years) Korea has a growing Christian community and a thing for outrage. As one of the people of Strongberry said in a live once: It is very rare when an actor will agree to do more than 2 bls in Korea. The landscape is just not as prolific.

Secondly, anyone who consumes asian dramas knows what they could bring. As said before, the standard set by the industry is working against them. It has been easy to forgive Thailand's lacks in their shows because we could say "they're just starting" "they don't have money" "everything before was worse" "they're getting better and better" however in Korea's case we know the level of quality they are able to deliver, and it's not so sure that they might get better.

If producers/directors/writers are not changing the story to fit the format now, what says they ever will? Is that their objective even? There's a "you can do it, why aren't you?" factor going on there. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

We know that out of all the countries making BL the one capable to do short series that move us is Korea. Also they're easier to watch (thank you 30 min episodes for existing). So I feel like there's a lack of trust between the creators and the public there.

It's true that the competition isn't easy. But I can't help but feel like they're trying to reproduce the BL phenomena without actually caring that much about the stories they're telling (which is also something that you can see in mainstream kdramas, they're putting the ingredients of what has been successful but have gotten all the amounts wrong). Most of the successful K BLs have been stories where you can tell there was someone there behind the camera that cared.

I think what would work best for Korean BLs would be to better the format that they've created. 8 episode of 20 minutes for the win. Create the Korean BL industry in its own terms, make it able to stand on its own. Don't try to get the hype without the proper effort put in the creation of the story. Don't just make shows to promote online platforms (cough Spring of Youth cough).

I personally believe they're headed that way. And I'll keep on checking every single K BL that I can. But if they're repeating the same mistakes I just don't have enough time on my day for that. And I'd rather spend it on a show where I can see that they cared to create a mainstream space for queer stories.

I saw mdl reviews for the director who buys me dinner saying its undercooked and had great potential and needed a run time of 1 hour and like 16 episodes. do yall think the writers, directors and production team don't know that? Queer content still doesn't get that much money!! For fuck sake we still call it bl/yaoi something that was originally made for het women. Support these shows instead of putting them down so they get more finances to make shows with longer duration

Just friends? pt. 2 | Matt Rempe x Reader

pt. 1

Summary: making your way up to your dream job was difficult, but leaving it may be harder that ever.

Warnings: language, small portion of smut, eating, THE NOTEBOOK IS MENTIONED😛🥲

A:N- it’s really short but yuhh

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

It’s been a good month of dating my bestfriend. I’m just scared that if anything goes wrong, that we wouldn’t be the same.

I’ve understood that when or I should say, If we breakup, we of course won’t be friends, but I wnat to talk. Keep up in life. Support him.

Matt has made it clear that it’s me, and only me. I know, dating an nhl player will be hard, because there is always someone out there thinking your boyfriend is cute.

“Dumper?” Matt calls out for me. I’m getting ready in his bathroom. Today, it’s the first day in off season. The rangers had won the third round of playoffs, but we didn’t make it to the end.

You might be wondering why Matt calls me dumper. It’s a long story, taht im glad to walks down with you.

~memory~

“Matt!” I groan as he thrusts into one last time. He releases into me, I feel I’m going to cum as well.

“You cum dump.” Matt laughs out. He cleans us up, and stands up to throw the tissues he used to clean up away. “I do not!” I yell out, I know I do. It makes sense to me.

Why would I cum in like five different times if I feel I’m going to release at one time?

Matt comes down onto me and kissed me from my knee up. He hits my neck and sucks down until I feel nothing.

“Nice hickey.” He chirps at me.

“Oh yeah? I wonder wher i hit it from.” I sarcastically joke with him. He gets hurts from that and lays down on my bare chest.

His brown hair all over.

It’s dark. Bedroom lights are off and the only thing lighting the house is the stars.

He cuddles into me for a few hours while I talk and yap about school, and when I should get my job.

~

“Where are you?” Matt yells for me.

“Bathroom! I have the interview today!” I let Matt know that I’m fully booked, and don’t have time for him.

“Well can we watch a movie tonight? Play some uno!” Matt asked me as he walks into the bathroom. His warm chest connects like a puzzle into my back. He leans into me and kissed my neck. He lays his fluffy hair into the crook of my neck. “I love you.” Matt whispers into my ear.

“Three months.” I say. I pushed him off my shoulder and cussed at him.

“Hey shithwsd?” I laugh at him.

“Hm?” Matt moans in his sleepy voice.

“Go shower. I’ll drive you down to the office.” I follow up. Matt has locker clean out today, many last minute interviews and press conferences.

~

I dropped Matt off at the arena and sat in my car.

Maybe he’s the one for me. The one guy that I won’t mess up with.

~

“Hey baby! How was the interview?” Matt asked me as I walk into the kitchen. Matt is cooking us some dinner and I set my purse down. I fall on the couch.

“That bad?” Matt questioned.

I felt my heart drop. How do I tell him, “No it was good… it’s the fact they don’t have an official employment spot for me here in New York. If I took the job, I would have to move to Wyoming.”

Yeah, no.

“Um, it went pretty well.” I replied, my high pitched cracky voice squeaked out. I think Matt knows I’m stressed. I’m sure I have actual sweat droplets swimming down in my face.

“You’re lying.” Matt looked down at me. He standing above me form the couch.

“No im not.” I laugh out. I stand up and dance with him back to the kitchen.

“Oh my love. My little baby.” I say as I rest my head into his chest. He smiles down at me and he picks me up.

“Give me.” Matt gestured to my foot as he set me down on the counter top.

I eye the stove that he left on. “What are we eating tonight?” I ask him. I try to distract myself.

God. Maybe I shouldn’t take the job.

He looks back at the side over his shoulder, and continues to take off my left shoe. My right foot is hanging and I kick him.

“Oh, uh I made some eggs, just so we could eat some toast and eggs. I was lazy, sorry.” Matt explained. He turned red in embarrassment.

“No. It’s perfect.” It’s the little things. I have to take things into consideration, not just the fact he does big gestures. He does this small thing that matters to me. Like, cooking dinner every night. Or just listening to me talk. Even if he doesn’t care, or deep down isn’t listening, he still looks like he cares.

Matt smirked and he dropped my left foot, only to un tie my right shoe. Once he finished he picked me up and kissed me. “What movie?” Matt asked me as I sit in our couch.

He plates everything into a large bowl and hands me a few slices of apples. “You’d be such a great dad.” I muttered.

“I’m sorry. A father?!” Matt exclaimed. He looks me up and down, smirking. Teeth out. His eyes look at me, I feel him leaving closer.

He grips onto a blanket as he sits down on the couch right beside me.

He turns the TV on to play the notebook.

~

I cried at the en of the movie. Matt holds me as he sleeps in my arms. He snores and he shakes as I weep and cry.

Matt looks up as his head rested on my breasts. “Are you okay? Why are you crying?” Matt mumbled. He rubs his eyes once he kissed my left boob.

He gets up and puts out dishes away. He cleans up the couch, and picks me up. “The movie that sad?” Matt asked me. I understand this season was hard so I let him sleep during the movie.

“You’ve never watched The Notevook?” I inferred, I look outside our window and Matt sets me down.

“I have, but I always fall asleep.” He looks at me and he pulls his clothes off. He’s left in his under set and I do the same. I unclamp my bra and lay in bed. I slide my panties off and lick them to the floor.

Matt fliers with me and he tightens his arms around me.

“I love you.” Matt reminded me, for the hundredth time.

“I have to move, if I take the job.” I let out.

Matt loosens his grip and he breaths in. “So take the job.” He said.

“It’s hard, but we can always fly out together.” Matt implied. We lay in bed. Not thinking about anything, well other than the fact I could leave.

Right when life gets good.

This has probably been transcribed before but I don't know what tags to find it under, so imma just do it again cuz this kind of stuff feels very relevant to know, more evidence that Humans are weird as fuck and our brains just make shit up. [Twitter thread by user named foone as a long image I stumbled upon on Pinterest]: _______________________________

You want to know something about how bullshit our brains are? OK, so there's a physical problem with out eyes: We move them in short fast bursts called "saccades", right? very quick, synchronized movements. The only problem is: they go all blurry and useless during this

Having your vision turn into a blurry mess every time you move your eyes is obviously not a good idea, so our brains hide it from us. Now imagine you're an engineer and you have this problem

You've got some obvious solutions you could do.

make the vision go black during movement. (Some VR games do this!)

just keep showing the last thing we saw prior to movement

Both are good options with different downsides, but OH NO. this is assuming everything makes sense and is chronological and (regular) logical.

Your brain does neither of these options, really.

First, it basically puts your visual system on "pause".

You're not seeing blackness or even nothing, you're just not seeing period.

then when you finish your saccade, it shows you what you now see at the new position. and then it pretends it can time travel.

It seriously shows you the image at the new point, but time-shifts it backwards so that it seems like you were seeing it the whole time your eyes were moving.

And because your brain is not a computer with a consistent clock, this shit works.

You can see this effect happen if you watch an analog clock with a second hand.

Look away (with just your eyes, not your head), then look back to the second hand.

It'll seem like it takes longer than a second to move, then resumes moving as normal.

That's because your freaking visual system just lied to you about HOW LONG TIME IS in order to cover up the physical limitations of those chemical camera orbs you have on the front of your face.

We've known about this effect for over 100 years, it's called "Saccadic masking" and more specifically Chronostasis. Your visual system lies to you about WHEN things happen by up to half a second (!) just to avoid saccades blurring everything.

So while I firmly believe we're basically just overgrown biological computers, we're apparently computers programmed by batshit insane drunkards in Visual Basic 5.

And you might think "hey wait, wouldn't my vision 'pausing' for half a second have all kinds of weird effects on moving objects? why don't they appear to stutter when moving?"

and the answer is simple! your brain has EVEN MORE UGLY HACKS on top of this to avoid you seeing that

If you've got a clock where the second hand doesn't "tick" but instead smoothly rotates, you won't see this. Because your brain recognizes it's moving and adjusts what you see to make sure it sees the "right" thing.

It's only really obvious with periodically moving things like a clock hand, because it's not moving (so not triggering the movement-during-chronostasis hack) but it moves at a set rate, so you can notive that rate appearing to change.

It's tempting to think of your eyes and visual system as a camera just dumping a video feed into your conscious brain but taht's so very, very not the case. What you think you see and what your eyes can actually see are two exceptionally different things.

The big obvious one being the blind spot. Vertebrate eyes are wired backwards so we've got a blind spot in each eye where the enrves enter into the eye. About 6 degrees of your vision in each eye is just not there, as there's no light sensitive cells there.

Do you see a blind spot, right now? No, you probably don't. Close one eye! There's now no way for the other eye to fill in the gaps. Still, no blind spot�� Your visual system is lying, and making up content it thinks is there. You literally cannot see what you think you see.

Here's another one: You can see in color, right? (well, some of you can't. Sorry) You can see in color all throughout your vision, it's color everywhere?

Well, most of the cone cells (Which are sensitive to color) are in the fovea, a little spot in the center of your vision.

So outside of that center-of-vision spot, you have very little color perception. There's some but it's very limited compared to your main color vision. But I bet if you shift your attention to your peripheral vision right now, it's in color.

Your vision system is lying. It's remembering what colors things are and guessing and filling in the gaps. It's basically doing a Ted Turner colorization process on your non-central vision.

There's even weird effects like what's called "Action-specific perception". If you get a bunch of white balls of various sizes and toss them at people then ask them to estimate the size of the balls thrown at them, they'll have a certain size estimate, right?

Now repeat the experiment but ask them to try to hit the balls back with a bat, and suddenly all the estimates shift larger. They actually see the ball as bigger because they need to hit it. Their vision is exaggerating it to make it easier to see!

Which just goes to show, like I said, your vision is not a camera. Perfect accuracy is not one of its goals. It does not give any shits about "objective reality", that's not important.

What's important to the evolution of the visual system is any trick that helps you survive, no matter how "dumb" or "weird" it is.

So if you want an accurate visual representation of what things look like? Use a camera. Not your eyes.

In any case the original point was that while you might know this about your eyes being poor cameras that lie to you, you might still think that at least they're consistent, time-wise. They don't screw with your sense of time passing, just to make up for visual defects. NOPE!

If you can't get it don in time, turn back the clock and pretend you did. That's a perfectly good solution when you're the visual system.

BTW @/hierarchon reminded me of a neat trick with saccadic masking: go look in a hand mirror. No matter how close you bring it to your eyes, and how much you look around, you will never see your eyes move. You're blind during those movements. But you still think you are seeing.

She additionally pointed out that your phone's selfie-mode is NOT a mirror, and it has a slight delaye, so you can see your eyes moving in it.

And for fun, here's wikipedia's example of the blindspot. Stare at L with only your left eye, adjust the distance, and the R will disappear. You don't see "nothing" or "black", you see the background, because you expect to.

This is why laser damage your retina can be so insidious. Your visual system already can hide "holes" in your vision, what's one more to hid? So you damage a small spot of your retina and your visual system covers it up.

But since you didn't go "WELL THAT WAS TERRIBLE I BETTER TAKE BETTER CARE OF MY EYES" and stop fucking with lasers, you keep doing it. Eventually you accumulate so much damage that your visual system simply cannot manage hiding it all and your vision rapidly degrades.

The other reason lasers are so dangerous is that they don't necessarily trigger the same responses as regular incoherent light. Your pupil reflex is only triggered by some special cells in the center of your eye, so an off-center laser might not cause your iris to contract.

And infrared laser light is just as dangerous as visible laser light, but can't trigger your blink reflex. Your eyes automatically close when exposed to bright light, but they can't detect infrared light. Despite not seeing it, it still causes damage.

Anyway, back on how amazing and crazy your vision is: There was an experiment back in 1890 where someone wore glasses made with mirrors in them to flip their vision. After about 8 days, they could see just fine with them on. Their vision system had started "flipping" the image.

(I say flipping in quotes because it's not as simple as it started showing the pixels at the top row on the bottom row, cause our vision doesn't work like that) It only took them a few hours to get back to normal after taking these glasses off, though.

The last really fun part about this flipping experiment: your eyes already do it. Based on how our vision is wired, we should be seeing everything upside down.

We don't, but only because our visual system has had a whole life to adapt to this.

BTW, since a few people have brought it up: There's a great sci-fi novel by Peter Watts called Blindsight. In it humans encounter an an alien race they call Scramblers, who can move very fast and precisely, and they exploit saccades.

Because if they only move during saccades, we never see them moving. And since so much of our vision is based on just filling in what we think is there, if they stay out of the direct center of our vision, we'll just visually fill them in, like they were never there.

Check it out if you're into hard SF stories of first contact. It's got some really neat ideas about human vision, very unique aliens, the future of humanity in the face of perfect VR, and vampires. (Really, it has "vampires", while still being hard-SF)

BTW, remember how I said "vertebrate eyes" up there? Guess who has eyes which are wired forwards instead of backwards (have no blindspot), have an internal lens, and can even see polarization of light? Our good friends the Cephalopods!

Love Hurts B, Love Again?

Scenario: You have a crush on Hawks but he loves another or so it seems. One day you learned that you have the Hanakai disease. Will you be saved?

Note:

Y/n = Your name

Part 1

Part 2

Hawks rushed to the hospital front and got your room number and dashed to your room.

“Y/n!” He said as he rushed to your side and held your hand.

You open your eyes to see him.“You’re here….”Your voice was raspy, you were as pale as a ghost form all the blood you lost. You hated the fact that he had to see you like that.

“Mirko told me about what’s happening to you. Why did—“ he stop himself form question you, he had a to endure your survival first “please take the surgery, feather. It’s not worth dying for someone who doesn’t even know how much they’re missing out.”

You’ve long given up on Hawks ever recuperating that love you have for him. Seeing him so desperate to save you made you happy, knowing that he cared for you. You decided it’s scary, you don’t know what will happen but accepting that he wouldn’t be in love.

“Okay.”

“Really?” Hawks said happily.

“Whatever…. happens, Keigo please stay with me..” you said as your squeeze his hand.

“I promise. I’ll be there every step of the way.”

The surgery was successful and doctors told him about how the surgery also removed memories of the person that you had unrequited love for. Hawks was also told that you might be feeling a bit off got the few days before getting used to not having those memories after all it probably would feel like losing a part of yourself. When you finally woke up you you saw Hawks.

“Hey, how you feeling?”

“A but woozy but okay.”

Hawks let out a sigh of relief. He called the doctor in making sure you were fine after everything. One. He left Hawks took the time to talk to you a bit.

“Must be werid right?”

“Yeah… just don’t remember much. Feels a little…”

“Empty?” Hawks asked.

“Yeah. I really appreciate you being here though Hawks. You’re probably super busy and you still went a took care of me. I’m glad to have a co worker like you.”

“Very funny Feathers, pretending I’m just a co worker~ Commone it’s just the two of us. You know you can call me by name.” Hawks joked.

You looked at him confused “you never mentioned your real name before.”

That’s when it clicked Hawks immediately grabbed on to your arms gently of course and in a slight panic asked “Y/N what am I to you? And what do you remember of me?”

“That’s a strange question. You’re my coworker at the commission and the number two. Why?”

Hawkes desperately trying to look for any signs of lying and sign taht you were joking with him but at last there was none. Hawks let you go and sat back down beside you. He was silent for a good 5 minutes. ‘You don’t remember me…. But that means…. ‘ he shook his head thinking he was probably think to much. Not long after he went back to work but still couldn’t shake the feeling that it was him that you loved.

Once you were out of the hospital, Hawks took you home, and reminded you were you were and stuff. At this point it was obvious to him that you don’t remember him as Keigo anymore. There was no denying that, but Hawks didn’t know what to think so like many of his emotions he tried to suppress it. So many thought came to mine ‘how long did you love me? Why didn’t you confess? What do I feel about you. Did I love you romantically?’ Hawks decided for the time being to rebuild your friendship bit by bit. The more he hangout with you the more he realizes just how much he’s taken from you. You were distant and he hated it. More time passes the more realize just how much he missed messing around, hangout, cuddles between ‘friends’ and most of all he hated the fact that he didn’t see it sooner.

This frustration lead to anger not towards you but himself and guilt.

One night on your little hangouts on the roof of your apartment complex he finally decided to talk about it with you. He finally was able to gather his thoughts and wanted to talk about it.

There was an uncomfortable silence as you both watch the skyline. Hawks padded the place next to him urging you to stand closer. You did and you both sat there for a while.

“I’m sorry.”

“For what?”

“For letting you go through so much pain.”

“It wasn’t yo-“

“IT IS! “ he yelled in frustration.

Hawks was never one to lose he’s cool around you so this was a ‘first’.

“The moment you called me Hawks I realized it was me. You may not remember but we’re childhood’s friends. We used to play together, pick up toys that some other kids would throw out. We joked, we laughed, we sleep together in the same bed.

You always have a way of making me feel at home. So when you called me hawks I knew. At first I didn’t know what to think. Knowing that I hurt you so much with out know it is what hurt me the most.” He said finally turning to look at you.

“I’m sorry, I don’t remember.” You said whipping tears off of his face that he didn’t realize was coming out.

“Y/n would you give me a chance to love you? Even if it took you losing your memories to finally realize how much love you? Give me a chance to make you fall for me all over agian?” He said sincerely looking at you.

You were sunned for a while as Hawks patiently waited for your response.

You chuckle a bit after thinking “Make me fall for you again huh? That sounds cheesy as hell. But I think it suits you.”

You held his hand and rested your head on his shoulder “I may not remember what we had before but I do know is how much care you shown me. You been nothing but great during these past few weeks. I think I like to see were it goes.”

“Thank you, I’ll do my best feather. Please call me Keigo agian when we’re alone. I miss having you call me by my name.”

You smile and said “Kei, what a lovely name. I like it. ”

Hawks talking on and on about how you were before all of this happened and reminding you of all your good times together and how you will create new memories together. Here’s to a new start, and a reborn love between you and hawks.

[blackjackkent]

Wandering along a street in our Lower City explorations when suddenly:

Holy SHIT.

An explosion blasts through the building; a lone figure comes running out. "Hot, hot, hot!" she squeals, repeatedly casting a healing spell on herself. Then, gleefully, "Did you see that?! Incredible!"

Who in the hells--

Oh, great. You. >:(

I think it's probably a good thing we left Astarion back at camp; he's had a hard enough couple days with all the Cazador stuff without having to deal with THIS asshole again.

"Oh! My silk!" she says brightly upon spotting Hector, as if the last time they encountered each other, she wasn't trying to force his friend to put out for her against his will. "What are the chances? It's you!" She dusts herself off absently. "Forgive the mess. Your blood is far more volatile than I'd anticipated."

Hector matches her tone deliberately, pasting on an exaggerated smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Oblodra, the blood merchant," he says coolly. "I hadn't hoped to meet you again."

Behind him, he hears Karlach snicker softly.

"Lucky for us all, fate is more powerful than hope," Araj says blithely, unphased by his evident dislike. "You see-- it's your blood taht caused the conflagration you just witnessed. Imagine!" She spreads her arms wide. "It's a breakthrough in the sanguine arts the likes of which the world has never seen! The Grand Matriarch will have no choice but to restore House Oblodra after I present her with my research."

She takes a step closer to him and raises an eyebrow conspiratorially. "But listen to me, rabbitting on about myself when I have you - the prize bleeder - on my very doorstep. If you'd come inside, we could discuss something far more exciting than drow politics."

Hector squints at her, trying to read the motivation behind this request. He has very little interest in interacting with her again, but there is one significant point here-- Araj was one of those at Moonrise Towers, and must have left at the same time as the Absolute's army. It's not impossible that she has some sort of intel that might be useful.

"Sigh. Why not?" he says wearily, gesturing for her to precede him in. His eyes flick quickly to his companions, a silent instruction to keep their eyes wide open for any possible threat.

"Yes!" Araj cries excitedly-- then quickly controls herself. "That is-- do follow me."

-----

She walks into the shattered building behind her, leaving them standing bemused on the street.

"Just so we're clear, Hec," Karlach says dryly, "we all know this is a trap, right?"

"It certainly doesn't seem on the up-and-up," Hector says with a soft snort. "I would be very surprised if she just wanted to say hello for old time's sake. There's some ulterior motive at work here."

"Maybe she's another one that wants to sleep with you," Karlach says, quirking an eyebrow at him playfully. "Since she couldn't get her claws into Astarion."

Hector rolls his eyes at her. "Gods, I hope not."

-----

"A cozy little spot, isn't it?" Araj says with a casual smile as they enter the shop. "These four walls have witnessed greater alchemical triumphs than the keep of Urngath Dorrund." She closes with him again, her eyes fixed on his, ignoring his companions completely. "And now that you're here, the crown jewel of my research is soon to be faceted. All you have to do is drink Formula Gruna."

("Is that what they're calling it these days?" he hears Karlach mutter behind him, and then a quiet yelp as Jaheira elbows her sharply in the ribs.)

"Formula Gruna?" Hector asks warily, ignoring the banter.

"Well yes," Araj says, looking at him with big, eager doe eyes. "Formulae Arkku through Fruak were spectacular failures. But Gruna... Gruna is different. Believe me!"

Hector believes her about as far as he could throw her - probably less, actually. "What will this formula do?"

"When you first entered this home," Araj says dreamily, "you saw the incredible latent power within your blood exposed in all its nuances. Formula Gruna will unleash that power within you!" A pause. "Risky, but -- erm -- safe," she adds.

Undoubtedly, Hector thinks sardonically. He has no illusion that what Araj is describing would be safe for him in the slightest - nor that she would be offering it to him for any but her own purposes.

"I can probably handle a little fire, but I'm not so sure about the rest of you," Karlach points out. The jocular humor is gone from her voice now and he can see she's as worried about this idea as he is.

"I won't be drinking any mysterious formulas today, thanks," he says calmly.

"Not even for the betterment of the alchemical arts the realm over?" she says pleadingly. "Not even for that?!"

There are many scenarios in which his curiosity would get the best of him here; in a way, it is lucky he dislikes Araj so deeply, as that takes precedence even over any inquisitive interest.

Leave.

He doesn't even give her an answer, just turns and walks out.

Tag game!

so, i just discovered that the fanfic question id ussualy answer around this time is out of commision, so im making a tag game! for some reason the only thing i can think of is a poem-ish thing (it rhymes, thats the poem part.) for a list, so thats what we're going with! First ill give you an explanation of the question, before providing my own answer! With all of these, feel free to add a link to the story uyou're pulling from

something old

(here, please provide a bit you wrote a bit ago from an older fic taht you like! Is the question referring to an old fic you like, or a bit? you decide!)

my answer:

As she tugged on the cord next to the window, Masha couldn’t help but be reminded of a stage play by the way the warm, orange sunlight hit their mother- like a spotlight turning on at the lifting of the curtain. The angle also didn’t help, Placing Masha in such a position that mom was framed as a silhouette, like they were watching from the wings at the opening moments of a play.

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/47992501)

something new

(here, provide your favorite bit from among the three most recent things you've either published or worked on. Why three? Idk, maybe this post works by fairytale logic now)

my answer:

That isn’t to say that there’s no blue around her- there’s plenty, just not the Blue that matters. Theres the Blue streetlights, casting a light that’s almost negligible in the screaming buzz of neon billboards and signs, some of which are blue. The light- so sharp and loud its almost toxic- Cuts through the rain, and bounces off of the layer of water covering the street, and fills the thin mist that’s gathering above the ground, giving the entire street the feeling of being a mix of nightclub and dream. There’s blue everywhere around Red, but it only serves to remind her of the overwhelming need inside her- it’s like handing a cold person a candle, providing just enough warmth to dangle the possibility of comfort in front of them, but not nearly enough to stave off the cold.

Something borrowed,

(sharing time! share a bit from, or a fic, you enjoy from someone else. please credit your sources though)

my answer:

This is just a really good fic. Its also by a really good writer, who deserves all the love

Something Blue

If youve been wondering why ive coloured the headers up until this point, heres your answer: the blue bit.

(please either share a bit/fic you wroite taht made you, teh author , sad. And for those of us who dont do taht often, just provide something you think of with something blue. This might be getting a bit weird now, sorry.)

whoops, ive used my blue bits already at the top. Well, i did just remeber teh one other time i focussed on the colour blue. behold,

 The girl that was looking back at them was dressed impeccably, Masha noted. She was wearing a long royal blue trenchcoat, the type you would expect on a noir detective. Gods, I want that coat. They also noted the fact that it was a crumpled mess. A coat shouldn’t be so messy and yet look so good on someone, they thought with a pang of jealousy. The coat wasn’t the only thing that was a mess though. The girl wearing it looked like she hadn’t slept in a while, indicated by light bags under her eyes that she obviously hadn’t tried to conceal.

im sorry for the slight mess that was this post, i hope you people can have fun with it. I think that im supposed to give you numbers here or something, but i dont know that many writers here, so ill just tell you to tag who you want

Kelshara

Looks:

Her appearance is a mixture of human and big cat. From her human form she has only kept her brown eyes. Her hair is white-gray. She wears them open with the bangs combed back and reaches her waist. Her legs are those of a big cat. The fur is dark gray with red stripes. The fur on the knee is fraying. The fur on her thighs is light gray. The fur of her lower legs continues on her forearms. The remaining fur on the upper body is beige and covered with red dots. Her long tail is also beige, but ends up getting darker. Her head is also a bit darker in terms of the color of the fur, but lighter again on the cheeks and chin area. She wears a gray top with a red mini vest and a blue fur collar. She also wears a red skirt, which is very tattered and mostly consists of stripes.

Personality and Abilities:

She is clever, smart, ambitious, demanding, and disrespectful toward fairies (despite the fact that she herself is a fairy) and nature itself. Since Kalshara is a shapeshifter, she can assume various animal forms. Kalshara is capable of taming Fairy Animals. Moreover, she excels at shapeshifting as she can easily perform it, but this power boosts when she exposes herself to wild magic. As a fairy, Kalshara may know some basic, first-level spells that all fairies can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes.

History time: (my fav part)

she and her brother are orphans from callisto. she is the younger sister of Brafilius, the most powerful fairy in their family even becoming the apprentice of a nymph. she admires her older brother and wanted to follow in his footsteps and thus entered alfea. where she met faragonda, as the fairy of the wild. however, a year after she was enrolled, her bother lost all his memories (thus becoming very childish and incompetant), fighting the ancestral witches while defending callisto. because of that she asked around alfea any basically anywhere she could, even the nymphs of magic on ways to help him but they were powerless to help. she thus became cold and callous for a time being before seeming to go back to who she "used to be". she became more studious, spending hours in the alfea library to find a way to bring her brother back. she finds a hint that the tomb of nature might have an answer. so she tricks faragonda to grab it, and she uses it to absorb all the wild magic from the wild magic spring in alfea. she gets the magic and flies off the bring brafillius back by turning back time for him. (im gna say the wild magic hall and the hall of memories actually hold the same type of magic, it is just expressed different based on intention.) but he is also transformed to a dog person, and she is excited at first but then realises that he still doesnt remember anything. she becomes irritated and more obsessed with bringing her "real" brother back. so she starts seeking the ultimate power of the fairy animals taht she read about in the tomb of nature.

from then on till a while before season 7, she kidnaps 1 of every fairy animal to find out which one holds the secret she needs to gain the ultimate power(tm). and yes then the start of season 7 happens and so on.

Papi I-

I literally started reading into some drama in a gamer community and ended up learning about this case were a 20 year old man and 15 year old boy had a sexual encounter. The victim, years later, denounced this man publicly when he understood what happened was wrong. The man first apologized to him and everyone for 'letting them down' or something, but weeks later came with a document were he retracted his confession and said he actually was the one raped and blackmailed. He said the 15 year old came onto him when he was sleeping and started giving him a blowjob, and he tried telling him to get off of him, but froze up and couldnt stop the kid anymore. The next day, this same boy supposedly blackmailed him, telling him that if he didn't have sex with him he would tell everyone that he was gay and slept with a minor. So the man, out of fear, accepted and let the boy gave him oral sex again, though stoping midway because he got upset about the older man lack of enthusiasm. Everyone in the community got on the older man side, calling the other party (who was only 15 yo at the time) a rapist and liar.

Am i going crazy or what?? Like obviously this boy still did something pretty messed up (initiating sexual contact when the man was sleeping, which is rape), but the man is still at fault for just accepting it twice. Like from what i gathered the kid is pretty unlikeable and manipulative, and has tried to seduce other adult men, but this man could still say 'no'. Plus the fact that this kid is so hypersexual points to him having some kind of trauma or issues imo. Not to mention taht there are tweets where this man is seeing literally flirting with this boy, so...

Anyways, i read some comments and people were also discussing the age of consent, and talking about how this boy was old enough to know what he was doing, that he enjoyed it and since he iniciated he obviously was the only culprit. People started talking about how americans were too prissy about age consent laws, how in many places it was 16 or even lower. And these kind of comments had hundreds and hundreds of likes!

And i feel like i should point out that this community leans heavily male, which is interesting: aren't men always talking about male victims not being taken seriously on and on. Yet i keep on seeing them discredit both male and female victims all the time. In fact, they were a few comments talking about how this case would have created more conmmotion if the victim was female.... Like why are they so obssesed, always bringing up female victims in these cases? One of them was downvoted though and called sexist because this case was in fact one of the most well know ones, and he was exposed for posting on mysogynistic subs.

Like i don't know papi, all of this makes me pretty sick... sorry for annoying you with this, i needed to vent somewhere....

Girl, I- gamerbros and online gays are the biggest sex pests in existence. In this case, both of those demonic realms are colliding - why would you even try to make sense out of this mess?

OF COURSE they're going to be predator apologists, why are you even surprised? The 20 years old dude excuse of freezing during the alleged assault can be true, but any benefit of doubt left the room as soon as he admitted getting back to the 15 y.o kids for him to give a blowjob...

During rape, people freeze because from the shock of the situation, but also bc they're scared acting up might turn against them (because the assaulter is stronger, with a weapon, etc). How could a 20 y.o dude be scared to *that* point of a 15 y.o boy sloppily giving him a blowjob? Was he still "freezing to death" in that second encounter while having that blowjob? sorry but accepting sexual solicitation from a minor, even in case of blackmail is still highly problematic and suspicious. He deserves to be as much dragged as that kid, who indeed has to be highly disturbed to display such extroverted sexual behavior. I wouldn't be surprised he's been groomed by online gays who indeed have a LOT of issues with romanticizing inappropriate age gap (they have a whole culture of initiating young gays into sexuality by older ones) and being so obsessive with sex & extreme sexual practice - even gay normies themselves (who are not into this degen shit) admit it.

It's very revealing they're now trying to drag women into that discourse, when women don't have a whole culture of egging/grooming young males into sex. This cope is really pathetic lmao Same for lesbians. It's almost the common denominator with sexual predatory behavior wasn't sexual orientation but.....SEX :)

In my country, age of consent is at 15 y.o and can even be 13 if there's less than a 5 years gap.....but literally no one asked for it. Every single person actively seeking to lower age of consent should be sent to jail as a cautionary measure. 5 years minimum.

Reality

Where i grew up nobody really carfed much if someone was gay, bisezual or trnasgender.. The bakker around the corner was a MtF never lost a single costomer over it.. The preachers son living next door was gay Sure the preacher wasnt thrilled about it as he believed it woud make his sons life a lot harder. I could go on for a while like that..

Basic point.. nobody cared nor treated you diffrently

After the lgbtq started going woke that changed.

The fact you are gay still does not matter.. the fact you are now all of a sudden a they him that makes people want to puke

the fact you demand to use the female bathroom because you feel female yet biological females dont want it and you keep demanding makes people mad

the fact you think a trans should be allowed to participate in female sports makes people ragged

the fact the ones thinking all of that is normal and do not want to understand most do not makes the lgbtq communitie dammaged by people using that same comunitie for their own gain and not for the bennefits of the lgbtq communite absoleet

So what i try to say is easy.. most people could care less if you are lgbtq they dont want the bullshit and idiocracy to be foced upon them not be foced to call you what you like to be called yet never that same respect returned..

Its like poker.. The bluff of the idiots has been called and they over played their hand

Real lgbtq members its not to late.. get ride of the jokers and become believable again..

Take back gthe organisation from the ones exploiting it for their own gain.

Let the world see the lgbtq group exists out of sane people that just want to live their lifes like everyone else and no belong in a mental hospital.

this road only leads to destruction with a few benefitting from it beond believe like a certain budweisser blowup.. yet all others will have nothing till even less is left setting things back to the 1900 like already happening in africa where you will get 10 years in prison.

Why were those laws made? to protect the country from the madness happening in many countries now. Is it right? No

Is it understandable? sorry to say but yes knowing that country it makes sence. unfortunatly. being woke there means making the country unstable and they cannot have that. Did the lgbtq comunnitie have much to say there before thise laws? not really yet they could have a resonable normal life if they laid low not shouting on the streets.. now they became prey.. thanks to the woke movement that actualy has nothing to do with lgbtq other then they foudn taht organisation somehow easy to invade and abuse for their own ideas and profit (esp in money for some)

such a waste of years and years of good investments and build up of an organisation.

In my country gaypride days were festivals where nearly anything was possible because of the way the organisation profiled.. very pro lgbtq very anti being diffrent other then beeing just that.

This year the organisation has had lots of problems.. why? woke minded trying to put their agenda first.

A very strong gay organisatie did manage to resist and stands strong

some minor organisations did not.. and they are now drowning in the mess they let the-own-agenda-first-who-cares-about-lgbtq-anyway-people create for them..

please open your eyes before the wolfs in sheepsclothing destroy the colourfull and warm real lgbtq communitie world wide..

dont be a sheep lead to the slaugherhouse

stand up and be proud of who you are

advance others with the same respect you want

You are not better then the other person nor is the other better then you.

equality comes from within not from treatining people, callig them names or using madeup words

If someone does not agree that does not make that person homofoob or anti lgbtq automaticaly it means they do not agree on something with you.. ask why so both can understand you and the other. you might still not agree not even up to a point yet thats life everyone is diffrent and only the same in court of law.. the world woud be boring and stand still if every one agrees with everyone

equal rights does not mean being right al the time..

Perspective.

Dealing with crazy bf's dad

lately between me and my partners relationship and life our biggest hater and challenge has been his dad. typically, i only really hear of SO mothers hating their sons' daughters but it's the opposite case here. i want to post here because it's not something they would easily find as we currently lease under his house at the moment. it's stated that he can void it at any moment for any reason, which brings me a lot of anxiety. but i want advice on how to deal with this sort of stress that otherwise could be dealt with if we were talking about someone who had the usual amount of ego and accountability.

unfortunately, we are dealing with someone i can't describe otherwise other than a narcissist. i really don't like using that word lightly because it's a heavy word, but with everything that I've seen and heard i have to agree with my partner. I've made a list of different things that he has claimed i have done. i want to go through some of them but first i want to explain some context.

I've been living with my bf for a year and some mo., and we've been together for nearly 2 years now. during this time his father has recently went through a divorce and we had to move another state. there were a couple of things promised that fell through that i can explain in another post, but due to the price we decided to continue staying with him so we can save more money and have more time to look for places. everything was going really fast. I've tried being nice and understanding his multitudes of reasons he could be acting harshly, but his claims are baseless and I'm tired of hearing them through my partners mouth instead of directly to me. I've tried having conversation with him, but its tense and we don't have a lot in common, i don't mind that sometimes it is what it is, but the constant disrespect and reluctance to speak to me is what tires me out. here are some of said baseless claims that he's said to other people instead of me:

starting small and inconvenient

steal his water bottles from the fridge

ruin the washer on purpose to destroy it and the household with it

imply he cannot buy anything. i sent a message asking that i noticed someone using my coffee machine, which is fine, but i asked for them to use a coffee filter so there's less of a mess. he bought a bigger coffee machine. the exact same.

semi-serious

not buy anything for the household and claims i use my boyfriend for his money and i take advantage of him. i buy literally so much it's not even funny. I've made decent improvements on my spaces i have access to and i make meals for my bf, his brother and I. i don't eat his food and when i do i suggest buying the next (mostly chicken). i don't even know what to say to this.

we were promised a basement, and we got a room. no previous disclosure it was the same day that we saw the new house. we asked for at least another space, either public or private to use. offered to spend more money for it but was declined. his brother wanted to make into a public chill-out space because its being used as storage space but was told that he shouldn't let us take advantage of him so we can steal the room. steal the room. might as well steal the moon too while we're at it.

hes called olur jobs personally to see if me and my bf were lying about the day that we quit. they told him its been a couple months, as it has. my bf thinks hes bluffing but its not out of character for him so i believe it. pretty stupid but the action is crazy to me.

serious claims

thankfully right now its down to one, he hasnt said it to me which makes me think it was just another thing to blame on me, and he realizes its baseless, but hes half said/joked that before he went on a weekend trip with his gf i tried getting into his bank account. he apparently got a notif taht there was an attempt on his account and one of his first thoughts were me.

so, with all of this not only does he not communicate with me, and continue to make these claims, he doesn't expect me to know either. he has said most of this stuff (and more nasty stuff about me) to either my bf or his brother, but he doesn't know i know. this is our last lease with him and its only 2 months, but since I'm not able to properly defend myself to him, i want to know if anyone's dealt with something like this and any good tips on either getting out or making it easier for the rest of the time we have. I'm grateful to have my bf to stand up for me, but he's equally exhausted because of all the mental and emotional abuse from him. everyone just wants to be away from everyone. it's expected we most likely will cut off contact when we move out. sorry for the long post, thank you if you made it this far and thank you for any input you can give.

[qllie]

idk people are always like "UTAU Is So Hard It's Basically Impossible You Are A Brave Soldier For Using It Dearest Qllibert" and to me it's like...

UTAU actually does have advantages over other programs (and disadvantages)

1. You can control everything. Like you can change the oto (basically how it determines which part of the file to play), you can create new aliases, you can manually change the pitch, you can adjust consonant lengths (via consonant vel or just editing where the blenders are) etc. Some other programs allow you to do this (eg SV lets you adjust phoneme and vowel timings) but UTAU literally lets you see exactly what it's pulling from and adjust it. So UTAU allows a ton of control. 2. UTAU lets you see everything!!! That's kinda why I don't like OU lol. Like UTAU lets you see the OTO, individual phonemes and blenders, everything. Like SynthV will kind of mess up your pitchbends when you input them (idk why) but in UTAU what you see is exactly what you get.

Now these two advantages kind of come with disadvantages, basically 1. Not as easy to use. A lot of programs will input phonemes for you (or at least automatically configure blender lengths or whatever). While in UTAU you do taht shit yourself. Which allows you more control, but takes longer lol. 2. UTAU is super old lol. So it doesn't have a lot of the nice features newer engines have (Seeing wav form, pitch bend just by clicking, pitch bend by drawing, play multiple tracks + inst, etc etc etc). 3. UTAU quality kind of depends on the specific voicebank lol. Cuz you can download beautifully configured 20 pitch VCV japanese with two thousand extras or you can also download 1 pitch CV missing half the syllables recorded by an 11 year old on their microwave. Basically voicebank quality varies tremendously lol.

As for UTAU being difficult to use like I said it might be hard to get into but it's not like insanely difficult... idk I mean I hear people like "UTAU is so hard to use the note timings are all wrong and you can't even change the bpm and you can't even import midis" like. YOU CAN DO THOSE THINGS!!! I think UTAU can kind of obscure some of it's functions a little (and some things require plugins) but like it's irritating to hear people saying "this engine is so hard" who haven't even watched like one tutorial lol?????

I agree with the whole too much thing. They're trying to tell too many stories without the proper time required to tell those stories. The madney wedding had me pissed as well because I wanted more madney. What do you mean we barely saw those two together on their w3dding day. I swear if we don't get a proper ceremony or soemthing for them, they deserve it and more. But yeah the pacing's weird and the whole writing as they go and last minute changes to the script and ep and everything is kinda causing a little but of a mess and the situation might be slipping out if everyone's hands.

Don't even get me started on the lack of firefam shenanigans and interactions because of the shorter season. Like op said the first three eps were the ones that were the best. But did they put so much effort(with amazing results) into them taht they kinda lost control of the rest??is this all building up to something that could potentially redeem it??I don't know and that uncertainty is what's messing with me. I'm not saying the eps were bad....they were good but they were also weird and messy and genuinely has me very confused as to what this season is supposed to come off as. And I think that's why I'm still very undecided about the whole season. It has good storylines but I'm not sure where any of its going which I know is the whole point. I guess we just have to wait and see what happens (the bane of my existence, waiting)

I don't really like this season (it might change), but the first 3 episodes were great, I really felt like we're back. Ep4 was okay (getting bi!Buck is the only positive thing I can say) but there was no firefam in the 100th episode which sucks, ep5 was meh (the only highlights were Buck coming out to Maddie and Eddie), ep6 was good, but I hated there was more Doug than Maddie it wasn't really Madney focused, and ep7 had many great moments (Maddie and Henren had amazing storylines) but it was all overshadowed by whatever the hell Eddie is doing

There aren't really firefam scenes, there wasn't any Bobby and Buck moments (Buck almost lost his parent figure, let him have a moment with Bobby). Eddie is still stuck dating woman who he doesn't care about (but now he might be dating two and one of them looks like his dead almost ex), Buck decided to jump right back into dating (hamster wheel) just this time with a dude.

I won't stop watching it, but I was so excited for the new season and it's starting to feel like there is too much drama and the writers don't know what to do with the characters

[cleumuu]

not anything special or this has been speculated too I'd say-- but just been noticing that every time malleus is deeply involve the state of time manipulation is there

maybe-- during pomefiore when he repaired everything there he just made a rewind on everything's object matter of state-- not "repairing" it-- keeping in mind the software part weren't working it just looked good as new cause hes not tech savvy

another is the little tamagotchi taht got wet and broken and he did say he cannot fix it cause he knows nothing about machines-- maybe implying here he can fix the state of matter but in the software part he cant and also it was a treasure for him he might mess up if he tried without knowing it down to its contents

halloween part two too he did stopped time while all those shenanigan happened-- also i was also rooting that his um too is like jack's but he just straight took his tail out while in human form in part 1 and breathes fire out when he hatched so thats out of the list-- aslo the thing where time stopped in part 2 is more like from sleeping beauty where she was asleep for a 100 years and time stood still theree kind of time magic kind of vibes im gettingg

this is just a crazy fan rambling this is all not definite just some things that caught my attention im missing lots of info im just saying of with what i know so this is not factual-- the coffee hit me a lot tonighgt

but if he uses this kind of general time magic premise in the noble bell college event im fgfdghgf-- dia chap is also releasing soon-- also hes one of top 5 powerful wizards so it can be anything at this point so this whole essay is down the drain before it started HAFHDSF

__________________________________________

Good god, your blood was boiling the moment you saw his door crack open. You could feel your fingernails digging into your palms as you tried to remain calm. The last thing you needed to do was lose your temper and give this man another opportunity to ridicule in front of your co-workers. But judging by that horrendous look on his face you already have a gut feeling that all taht hard work to keep your anger in check is going to fly right through the window. Taking the deepest breath you could take and plastering on that fake smile, you gladly greeted the man that makes your life a living hell.

“These numbers are definitely not to my liking and I refused to be the laughing stock at the board meeting tomorrow.” He huffed heavily as he practically threw the binder down onto your desk. The heavy plastic slamming against the steel desk with a loud thud that echoed through the big hallway. The wind from the fall making papers that previously occupied your desk go flying in every single direction. You could feel your anger bubble up in your chest at the mere disrespect that this man was giving you, and it was driving you insane.

“With all do respect sir, it’s already twelve thirty, and I highly doubt I’ll be able to go over all of these documents by seven thirty in the morning.” You resisted their urge to grit your teeth as you wanted to appear somehow considerate of his complications. Truth be told you didn’t want to do another all nighter when you barely pulled through from the other night. “Besides, I looked over the revenue and margin growths three times before I sent them to your office.”

He scoffed loudly as he licked one of his fingers and then continued to rummage through the papers that were bonded together. His long finger skimmed over the lines multiple times and he flipped each page within a minute. Those piercing eyes stayed locked in on every single number that crossed the page. “Ah, right here it states that we made a profit revenue of fifty million last year, but then it states that this year we’ve only grossed sixty five million. And that’s definitely less than the fifty percent revenue growth that we expected.”

“So, sixty five is not as bad as you’re making it out to be, besides multiple people double checked.” You spoke tiredly as you started packing up your briefcase. Different papers getting stacked together and even crumpled because of the rapid pace that you were going. No matter what happens tonight you were leaving before the clock strikes one in the morning. As you were packing up your eyes met his furious ones and it felt like your world was crumbling down. “Mr. Choi, I’m being honest, your accounting department checked all of these numbers multiple times and I looked over them as much as I could.”

“I know for a fact that we had a fifty percent increase in revenue, now look over these damn numbers again. Or you’ll be kissing this cushy office job goodbye in the morning.” He harshly slammed the binder closed and stalked over to his office door. The audacity of that stupid man, how dare he even threaten you with this job. But as much as you wanted to spit in his face and tell him to shove it you really needed this job, this really well paying job.

You poked your cheek with your tongue out of agitation and roughly grabbed your purse. The bottle of caffeine pills made a clicking sound as you unscrewed the cap within a second. Without a drink of water you downed the pill and grabbed the ugly binder. This was going to be a long night, and these numbers were not going to supposedly fix themselves.

Your fingers tapped the keys on the keyboard rapidly as you searched each collaboration revenue. All of these numbers were lining up, no matter what you searched. Out of the six collaborations Choi enterprise only grossed sixty five million, but for some reason he just won’t listen. All you wanted to do at this point was slump forward and go to sleep, but with that anger that Mr.Choi has you’re scared he might kill you in your sleep. But as the long hours went on and on, you could feel yourself slipping. Your eyelids felt like a ton, and your head was suddenly too heavy for your neck to hold. Before you knew you were out like a light.

—

You’d shoot the person who was jabbing their finger into side if you could. Their bony finger feeling a knife stabbing your rib cage with immense pressure. “Please wake up, y/n, if he notices you’re asleep, who knows what he’ll do!” The jabbing didn’t cease one bit, in fact they just jabbed even harder.

“Okay! I’m up!” You groggily scoffed as your vision was trying to focus on the object in front of you. The figure was simply a mush of different colors all moving in different directions. The harsh lights in the office are in no way making the situation any better. You could make out their hand moving from left to right to try and grab your attention. “Hongjoong?”

“What are you, blind? Of course it’s me, but please I’m begging you get up and go freshen up in the bathroom.” He sighed sadly as he helped your wobbly stance straighten up. His soft hands wrapping around your waist and pulling you close. The soft scent of his cologne filling your nose as you clung to him. “Do you still carry extra clothes in your car?”

“Thankfully yes, but what time is it?” You question as you rubbed your eyes, trying to make all the colors of the world blend back together to form one coherent thing. “Oh god, is it past seven thirty, oh shit! He’s gonna kill me!”

“Calm down, it's only six thirty, but he always gets here at seven. So please go wipe that old makeup off and I’ll get your other clothes.” Hongjoong smiled slightly at you before his eyes shifted towards the oh so famous brown binder. “Did that dick make you go over more numbers the whole night?”

“God yes and it was terrible, but I looked over all six collaborations and I kid you not it all equals sixty five.” You could hear a pin drop on the silence that coated the room. It was beginning to feel suffocating and you physically felt your chest growing heavy with dread. “There were only six right, because that’s all the forms I received.”

“Maybe i'm just thinking of something else, because maybe just maybe -“

“Stop wasting time! Is there more than six?” You panicked as you shoved him away and pulled the rolling chair back to your side. Before your fingers could even reach the keys, Hongjoong’s were there in a second. They tapped rapidly and skimmed through all your emails at a neck breaking pace. “Oh my god I never refreshed the email.”

“We don’t have time to sit here and panic, we have three pages of numbers to go through.” Hongjoong tried to make the situation less tense by offering a helping hand, but he knew that if these numbers weren’t corrected all hell would break loose. And no one wanted to see what Choi San was like when he more than ticked off. He’d probably be past the point of furious if ever saw these unfinished numbers.

—

San’s eyes were narrowed as he eyed the unfamiliar man at your desk. Where the hell were you? He didn’t pay a shit ton of money for you to be everywhere and not in that chair looking pretty. But at this moment he couldn’t control himself as the words flew from his mouth. “What the hell is this?”

That look, that gorgeous look of fear that made his blood rush and his heart pound. Was etched across the unknown man's face and he was basking in the glory of it. San cocked his eyebrow slightly as he leaned forwards on his palms. “Did I suddenly grow two heads or some shit, no? Then answer my question, what the hell is this.”

“I’m so sorry Mr.Choi, but I didn’t notice that there were seven collaborations. I only had six in my email. And Mr.Kim was only helping me scrunch the numbers.”

“You mean to tell me that these numbers aren’t finished! And this meeting is in less than an hour?” His demeanor was calm but the sheer venom in his voice was enough to bring you to your knees. He poked his cheek with his tongue and gave a mean smile in your direction. “I mean it, l/n you’re on thin ice. But if those numbers aren’t corrected then you’re fired.”

“Yes sir.” You gulped as you watched him take heavy steps towards his office. You were in deep shit now. San rubbed his chin as he tried to remain calm and not fire you on the spot. Out of all the times you could have missed up, you decided now was the perfect time. Messing up these numbers would make other investors think that this company cannot handle the responsibility of simply matching numbers. This mistake could completely tank the company and put everyone here out of a job.

Fifty five minutes have passed and investors from other companies are already showing up at the doors. And here he was sitting at the head of the table empty handed, and it was all your fault. It was your fault for not refreshing that damn email, for not paying closer attention to the numbers, for simply not giving it your all. And now it’s going to be your fault that the entire company crumbles and falls straight into the depths below.

“So San, when is this meeting going to officially begin?” Questioned one of the many associates as he leaned back against the velvet chair. A smile bright on his face as if he didn’t care to wait a moment or two for it to begin. But, on the other hand, the leader of the meeting was so furious he could start foaming at the mouth. Because guess what crucial piece of information still wasn’t on his desk.

“We will begin momentarily if my secretary would get her head out of her ass and bring them those god damn numbers.” San spoke with a soft smile on his face. The look he gave the men was a completely different tone from the words he just spoke. Those words help fury and degradation but his smile was so bright it could light up a room or cause someone’s heart to flutter out of their chest. But at this moment all of those men knew at this moment San was anything, but happy.

The sound of the doorknob being yanked on caught everyone’s attention. Their heads jolted towards the cause of the noise as they watched you fiddled with the dozens of papers in her hand. Your smile was uneasy as you tried to reorganize them on your way towards the head of the table. They watched your clammy hands shake with fear as San ripped the paper from your hands. Judging by the way you quickly held your pointed and middle finger they could only guess what happened.

“Why the hell are you still standing here? Do I need to draw you a picture and make it clear that you’re done here?” San scolded as he shoved you a bit and forced you to walk to the door. Fumbling over your own two feet and almost hitting the floor head on at one point. But he didn’t care, because all he wanted to do right now was get this meeting over with. With a final shove and a quick slam of the glass door, he swiftly turned back around to be met with very difficult to decipher expressions.

“Well now that all distractions are gone, let’s get down to business.”

—

Your face was flushed and you could feel your hands start to shake. From the mere interaction with the stupid CEO. The vivid picture of his icy eyes and cold stare were burned into your brain, as his words pounded in your skull without mercy. The man practically belittled you, in a room full of successful CEOs who now probably think you’re a joke.

“Hey, don't worry yourself sick. It was an honest mistake.” Hongjoong consoled you as he eyed your shaken form. The tearful eyes and the constant bouncing of your leg was a dead giveaway of the way you felt at this moment. And he wanted nothing more than to just say everything will be okay, that everything is going to be just fine. But he can’t, because who knows what the jerk will do you do considering your almost costed him a deal.

“Do you think he’ll fire me?” The question hung in the air with such heaviness that it was almost hard to breathe. The thought of losing this job was sending you into a whirlwind of erratic emotions. If this job is gone, there goes the ability to afford your car, hell there goes the ability to afford the damn apartment you’re living in at this moment. You’ll lose eveything, if you’re cut off.

“He better not, and trust me if he ever does, I would be more than happy to have you on my team.” A new man smiled brightly in your direction as he made his way over to your desk. He wasn’t an unfamiliar face around the office as he and Mr.Choi have done business deals of many kinds in the past. “It would truly be an honor to have someone like you working at Jeon Marketing.”

A small smile took over your face as you eyed the man in front of you. Mr.Jeon was an extremely well known CEO in this business, and he’s not too much older than Mr.Choi. You’re genuinely surprised these men are allies in this type of business, if anything you thought they’d be enemies. “Thank you for such kind words, but trust me your opinion on me may change soon.”

“Nonsense, I’ve seen the way you handle situations at this company, especially time crunched ones. I can tell just by looking at your face you stayed up hours just to make sure his numbers were perfect.” Mr Jeon stated as he leaned forward on the desk and clapped his hand together. “And truth be told I wouldn’t mind having such a beautiful face be the face of my company.”

His compliment left you stumped as you eyed his face. The tone he held was lighthearted because he knew this stressful situation needed a little laughter, but you knew from the look on his face he was being serious. About both of his statements. Before you could form a response, he long fingers were reaching into his jacket pocket. “I promise, if you ever need anything. I’m just a call away.”

“His top rival and best friend just offered you a sweet ass deal, are you gonna take it?”

You truly didn’t know the answer to that. I mean on one hand you have your secretary job here, and it pays well. The boss may be a pain in the ass, but it’s the only thing keeping you afloat. And you know that these two companies are neck and neck right now for the top spot, so it’s hard to decipher just how much he’s willing to pay you. But would there be any harm in simply asking the man?

“I’m not gonna lie and say it doesn’t intrigue me, but at the same time I don’t wanna leave you all alone.” You mumbled as you tapped away at the computer keys. Just trying to find any small amount of information about his company. But only mere surface information popped up in the search box. “Would it be a bad thing if I did leave?”

“Sometimes trying something new is good thing, but it really all depends on how you feel. And I have a friend that works there and she told me she makes over 250k a year.” Hongjoong shrugged his shoulders as he stood up to leave. His soft eyes giving a sense of comfort as he started to walk away. “I promise whatever option you pick, you’ll be fine.”

A heavy huff of air passed through your lips as you tried to think of the right answer. If he was right you’d make just a little bit more working for him and he genuinely seems like a nicer boss in general. So the real question is what’s keeping you tied to this job? The only perk about this job is working with Hongjoong and he’s the main reason why you’ve stuck around this long. The men from before were now exiting San’s offer with bright smiles on their faces, and you could only conclude that those numbers truly were the right ones. But just as your eyes leave their smiles you’re met with someone who has the complete opposite expression.

He briskly walked towards you and hastily cleared his throat. The stone cold expression he was supporting made a shiver go down your spine. Without a second thought he grabbed your hand and hauled you off in the direction of his office, with his nails piercing the skin of your wrist. Within a second he shoved you into his office and slammed the door behind him.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” His stern voice echoed in the office. Bouncing off the walls left and right and continuing to bounce inside your skull. The fingernails that were pressing into your skin felt like sharp needles protruding into you. You could have sworn you saw blood pass through his fingers. “Answer me!”

“I’m sorry! But I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” You panicked as you tried to yank your arm away from his hardened grasp. Those eyes of his start to terrify you the longer you stay in his touch. But he wasn’t letting you get away if anything the more you struggled against him the tighter his hold got.

“I saw that dumb fucker hand you his card, and for some unknown reason you took it. So what that’s it, you’re just gonna fucking leave after everything I’ve done for you?” He spat words at you left and right. Not bothering to back up any of his claims. He speaks as if he’s given you pure gold to walk but in reality all he’s given you is eggshells. You have to be careful around you, you’re never treated well, and he wants to sit up on his throne and act as if he’s treated you like royalty?

“If anything you’ve given me shit! You’re treating me like crap any chance you get, I made one mistake and your response to that is belittling me in front of other people!” You shouted back with just as much venom as he has done to you. With a final yank from your arm, you relaxed yourself from his grip. Tired of his antics you looked him dead in the eyes and spoke. “And so what if I take his offer, he’d be a better boss than you ever were!”

“I mean it, L/n, you take that deal and I’ll make your life a living hell.” He threatened as he got closer and closer. His minty breath fanned your face slightly as he harshly grabbed your chin. “Trust me, this is one bet you’ll regret taking if you leave.”

“I’ll take that damn bet any day.” You tried to push his chest back but he was stronger than you. What surprised you the most was the cackle-like laugh that passed through his lips. A wide smile taking over his face and that somehow made the situation more sinister.

“I warned you, Y/n.”
