tagged by: @minisugakoobies nooo not heartbroken Yuta 😪 thank you for the tag (and feelings)

no cheating: you’re starring in a movie with the last person saved in your camera roll, and the last song you listened to is the title. who/what is it?

I blame @minttangerines for the Hao photo. Funny enough, I searched up this song to add it to a fic playlist. Fuck it, let’s go Minghao-

He’s the owner of a late night ramen bar, and the sole worker in the small establishment. You’ve watched him, often. Closing up and leaving with other patrons. But never with you. Until one calendar New Year’s Eve, you turn up toting a bottle of champagne you’d lifted off of the party you just abandoned in need of a spicy bowl of noodles. Sadly, Minghao was locking up when you arrive your cheeks flushed, fingers clutching the neck of the bottle. At the sight of you, his lips grace you with that hypnotic smile. “Come on, I’ll make you a special batch.” He takes your hand and the two of you are headed off the same direction he had left with all those lukier customers. Only tonight, you’re the lucky one.

on repeat

sometimes one needs a little shuffle play to remind them of the songs they used to love and obsess over. how did i EVER forget about this gem?

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

Golden night

Garou x Nagi (Garou douijn "Hungry wolf")

Nagi loves nightlife, it's when she improves her social skills and expands her professional circle. Garou is a nocturnal animal too but from another point of view: he loves going around the city freely, ready for testing his fists with any monster or asshole who challenges him to a single combat. But now they are dating, they try to meet each other as much as they can ♥

Nagi loves taking Garou to her favorites clubs. She is so proud of her beasty boy. Nagi dresses Garou for these special occasions (Metal Bad mocks him all the time). But Garou doesn't give a shit. He just cares about kissing Nagi's lips all night.

♥

Passionated couple! love it! XD Enjoy my Garou doujin "Hungry wolf" and more Garou x Nagi hot stuff at my A03 site:

Excuse the spam I am also Very Abnormal about sakuyama. Anyways you should draw Koyama giving Sakurai a little passing kiss. At work (so Sakurai could go off on him about professionalism) or like. In the wee hours of the morning. Very soft. I love the way you draw them you are an ICON please never stop 💞

Thank you so much for the kind words!!!! And no worries at all I am eating all these ideas with my mind. Now behold: a smorch
