12. With taehyung angsty smutttttt
12. Secret relationship/Prohibited relationship
— contents and warnings; smut, mentions of infidelity!! (Taehyung is in the process of getting a divorce), age gap relationship (15 years: reader is 25 and Taehyung is 40)
Taehyung wasn’t a child: he knew his actions could have cataclysmic consequences if he wasn’t careful. He knew that having his secretary call off yet another meeting because his main competitor’s daughter was in town was probably one of (if not the) dumbest thing he has done in a while. He knew that if his wife caught him in between the sheets with you, she would tear away every pretty settlement they have managed to agree upon; he knew that she would create some petty drama and try to stain his reputation to the media. And that she would probably succeed.
The world was going through an economic crisis, for fuck’s sake, there was no time to spare when it came to saving his company. Taehyung was tired of laying good, reliable workers off. He was tired of watching stocks decline, tired of receiving complaints, and he was so, so enthralled by you that none of that mattered.
“We should stop,” you spoke his thoughts out loud, messy hair falling over the pillow as you looked up at him. Taehyung felt his stomach contract — you were such an angel. All perfect traces and pretty, sparkling eyes. You had no idea what you were doing to him. “If my dad catches us, I’ll—“
He kissed you before you could finish, swallowing your surprised moan as his cock moved slowly inside your heat. Taehyung wanted for you to just stay still and let him have it — let him have the one moment of peace in his entire week. Away from his nagging wife and his even more nagging investors. Just you and him and simple, manageable problems.
The older man pulled away, shoving his cock deep inside you so he could feel the way your walls fluttered around him. He should’ve married you instead. “If your dad cuts your investment fund—“
You frowned. “It’s not about that.”
“If he cuts your investment fund,” he echoed, “I’ll give you twice of what he promised.”
At that, you giggled, throwing your head back. Taehyung loved watching you laugh, he wished he could see it every single day. “You’re so funny, Mr. Kim,” you said. Oh he hated when you called him that — he knew it wasn’t on purpose, just a fruit of mindless habit. But still, it reminded him that he was just a little under your dad’s age, and that you were 15 years younger than him. It made him feel like a pervert. A very pathetic, nearly divorced, bankrupt pervert. “Wish I could find a guy like you someday.”
Talk about quick deflation. Taehyung didn’t even know if he should cry or laugh at your confession. Yes, you were very naive and very honest — he knew you meant it. And not even in a way to offend him, just to say that this wasn’t it. That this could never work.
“I’m sure you will,” he only answered. “Now, just give me your pretty moans and let me have this.”

I know Cell has a bit of Vegeta in him but I don't think he'd be too proud to ask for help 😂
Based on my word vomit in a discord chat:
#gohan#son gohan#cell#perfect cell#db#dragon ball#dbz#dragon ball z#sketch#comic#this is based on a line of dialogue Cell says in some game#i believe fighterz#when wishing for full health he says something like 'heal me would you?'#also he was not opposed to eating that senzu bean during the cell games#he thinks hes number 1 priority and the best fighter on the team so it would be stupid of everyone else to leave him injured#or so he thinks XD

I always appreciated them as two different things. What I THINK they mean is when it’s adapted in a way that actually disrespects what came before it. Cowboy Bebop is a genuine example of this, or the Monster Hunter movie. Unlike say the Wachowski sisters Speed Racer movie which is a cheesy honest adaptation of Speed Race with its own spin on some things…that people didn’t watch despite how great it is!
I've heard many things about the MH movie but haven't seen it, sadly (?) - I heard there's focus on a Diablos?
Maybe I was a bit too negative with this comment lol, but imo it's completely unfathomable to me to adapt something if you "don't respect" the source material?
Of course adaptations can't be a copy/paste and sometimes things are done to make a movie more acceptable/viewable for an audience, like Peter Jackson's Lotr where Arwen - well, just Arwen. But I don't think PJ "didn't respect" the source material. Ultimately, there's a difference between faithfulness (that can be edited/removed bcs a movie isn't 3 books) and the sheer "respect".
Like, for instance, you can wonder wtf happened and if the people really gave a crap about the source material or even respected it, I can think of Dragonball Evolution.
But back to Mario, if there is a movie based on the Mario franchise, I'd expect the characters from the Mario franchise, maybe the settings and nods to the games. If I want a discussion on capitalism, taxes, diesel or butternuts, I'm not going to watch a Super Mario movie. Of course a Super Mario movie can have themes and have a broader message than "and Mario saved Luigi and called it a day!", but at its core, it has to be a Super Mario movie, with mushrooms, Toad(s), Bowser, Luigi, etc etc.
but maybe it's a personal bias, i usually don't like live action adaptations...
#anon#replies#the only exception is city hunter i've heard good things about the recent movie#dbe was a nightmare lol#i may shit on dbs from times to times but that movie?#coming from lolcalisation woes there's still something imo wrong with lack of 'respect' from the source#sure sure that movie wasn't inspired by 1 game#but it's a general verse with existing characters#sure bowser roasts his people from times to times but he's portrayed as a lovable dork#and we don't dwelve seriously in what a koopa thinks for having been turned in a dry bones bcs his boss had a bad hair day#imagine a mario galaxy adaptation without lumas#or with evil lumas#it's impossible it's not even being unfaithful to the source material it's complete disrespect#an evil luma seriously

It isn’t potential, though. Vegeta is famously, canonically, interesting and complex and well written, despite the anime’s best efforts to stifle it. The nuggets you get from Toei are what survived them scraping off Toriyama’s (very good, highly skilled) storytelling and character writing to focus on making Goku as plastic and stiff as the action figures they use the series to market (which Toriyama actively, vocally, and repeatedly did not want or like).
when u like a character for their potential to be interesting and complex more than how they’re actually written
#Vegeta has one of the most *famously* well-written developmental character arcs of all time fjdjd this post was Not About Him#Unless this is someone who has only ever seen DBS’ anime I do not understand this take Geets’ arc is 30 years old and largely unmatched#The anime scrapes off the nuance and love and force feeds you corporate protag worship so you’ll buy branded shit with protag’s face on it#I WISH I was exaggerating but I’m so bitter about Corporate Greed bleeding out good storytelling for the last decade lmao#I remember when I was blaming Toriyama for Toei’s writing. I’m so glad I know better now. Toriyama’s writing is so charming.#And honestly nothing summarizes my beef better than that One Panel of Vegeta and Trunks hanging out with Bulma and Dr B in the lab when Cel#Announced the Cell games.#The Anime 1) took bulma out of the lab 2) has geets start beef for no reason 3) has him leave without trunks and 4) just totally overrides#that despite all the grandstanding and attitude and mistakes leading up to that point Vegeta is there seated in the room with his family#Not pouting or grumpy or forced he’s just chillin in a chair in the lab while Bulma and DrB work on 16#And then when he leaves and Trunks follows and Bulma offers him a haircut Geets STOPS and WAITS for his son to be finished#like that scene is everyone grouped off with the people they’re closest to in the manga and Geets is with his family#That’s Toriyama’s Vegeta. Toei decided to make that moment about beefing with Yamcha and Bulma being out …? shopping…???#And Roshi explaining the Concept of a tournament to everyone before Cell explains what a tournament is to everyone. again.#Anyway old man yells at cloud hashtag ReadTheManga you get it#10 Days Til Daima!#Praying they don’t fuck up the final thing Toriyama ever trusted them with!!!!#But the woman writing it also wrote cells at work so at the VERY least we’re getting a cute funny DB show#Which tbh is all I want at this point

The absolute horrors of retro jrpg releases what the FUCK happened to calling a game the same thing in every region and using the same numbers????? Why can’t they just be normal??????
#I was trying in my hubris to find#ff 1-6 roms all on one retro system in English#I found 1-2 and 4-6 on gba#I hear you ask me what about 3? surely 3 is on gba as well they named them advance to be clever and cute becauee they’re the retro efitons#the definitive ones#I asked myself that too as I went wait my site doesn’t have 3???#it’s just on snes#the gba ones are better translated#especially 5 apparently#also the fucking numbers only make sense in retrospect#when you have a weird niche need your google searches get niche and weird#and my adoration of steamgrid db grows eternally#I’m choosing to ignore the ff number scheme issues in the west and assuming I got them all now#with the right fucking box art#and backgrounds#as I learn what games are niche like Shanghai on the original gameboy#and that every rom hack I have has official looking box art#including the seemingly niche apotris which is a gameboy advance not Tetris legally not Tetris game#it has official gba box art that someone made#for freaks like me to find on steamgrid db#I’ve only had one that didn’t have its box art with the system frame and it was puyo puyo

i completely forgot how to make cc for this game bc i haven't done it in forever. i'll end up fixing whatever's broken with this set but please enjoy. im back on hiatus after this.
download under the cut (it's free)
sfs | DB | Patreon (always free)

Reaction to The Worst's Chapter 356
Brief summary: Cale tells Dark Bear about his plans. Alberu briefs newbie Rosalyn about the game. Cale becomes a nanny.
==========
Lots of funny moments today. Eden was still in his egg form, but he was being carried around by Dark Bear (DB) in... a baby carrier. 😂😂😂
Cale's status had been updated to include him becoming the hidden boss of the 7th Evil too. He also got a subquest on how to activate his skill, Chaotic Terror. The quest told him to visit the Sun God temple in a certain empire.
Cale speculated that either GoC had disguised themselves as the Sun God in the game, or that GoC followers were hiding in the Sun God temple.
And then there was that scene where Cale told Dark Bear all his plans in the game, such as Aurora, Arm, Pope Kesilia, and so on. He even talked about taking over all the Eight Evils and the underworld of the New World, and establishing a kingdom. The more Cale talked about his plans, the more dumbfounded DB became. 🤣🤣🤣
Cale kept smiling as he talked about his terrifying plans, so DB thought that it was like Cale was just playing a game. DB called it as "The Worst's Game." I guess we now know where the chapter title came from. 😂
Alberu and Rosalyn's scene was also funny:
Alberu: *meets Rosalyn who just finished the game tutorial and adds her as a friend* Rosalyn: *reads Alberu's username* ...The Irreverent Emperor? Alberu: *flinches* Rosalyn: Pfft.
I wonder what Rosalyn's username is. Will the author reveal it?
Cale decided to do the subquest to activate his skill and arrived at the capital of the Western Empire. But the 3 kids were with him. And Cale was wearing the baby carrier that had Eden in it... Daddy Cale and his 3 kids + 1 egg. 😂😂😂 Or is he a nanny now? 🤣🤣🤣
Ending Remarks Eden in a baby carrier was so funny today. And Alberu getting embarrassed with his username. 😂 Next chapter would be Nanny Cale investigating the Sun God temple in the game.

is the drabble game still open, mx. Nala??
If it is, can I request for:
23. Medical/Hospital AU + Angst & Smut for Jungkook
Thank you (°○°)
— contents and warnings; ridiculously specific medical talk (are you surprised?), vague smut, discussion of open relationships, I don’t support hospital seggs!!!, semi-public, protected
Two overworked and emotionally constipated surgeons trying their hand at romance was clearly a recipe for disaster — you knew it, Jungkook knew it, but none of you cared too much about it.
Medical school made you formulate a theory that, generally, the most hardworking students are the ones with the littlest time for interpersonal growth. Yeah you know the coagulation cascade, but you don’t know how to handle failure without crying. Yeah you can manage a patient in arterial fibrillation flawlessly, but you’ve sacrificed great experiences in the name of academic perfection.
It’s not all bad, obviously. Chances are that such student will be a fantastic doctor, and that matters a lot. But, then, after the diagnosis is made and the surgery is over, all that is left are the people you deal with. And all the issues that come from it.
Jungkook was a classical case of that: one of the most prolific and up-and-coming cardio thoracic surgeons out there, but a complete idiot when it came to catching a non verbal cue. At first you thought that it was adorable, and his high intellect didn’t hurt also. But when one kiss turned into another and you two started waking up next to each other, things took a more complicated turn.
“Kid with Tetralogy of Fallot also has Hirschsprung’s disease.” Jungkook threw some papers on your desk, which made the X-rays poke under the white paper. You looked down on it for a second before you heard the door close behind him, and then you found his gaze once again. “Thought that you could take over that case.”
It took you a second to digest his words, then the case came up in your head — newborn with cyanosis, yeah, the one Jungkook had discussed with you about. Unfortunately the kid had won the malformation lottery, it seemed. “How bad is it?” You asked, reaching for the papers.
“Not that extended, it seems. But he’s already showing serious signs of pain and constipation.” Jungkook sat down in front of you. You hummed in agreement, taking a quick look over the case. “Also, it’s affecting his potassium intake, and nephrology thinks the abdominal pressure could worsen his kidney. I can’t do the Fallot correction and risk cardiac failure.” He tapped on the table. “So, can you take over?”
“Well, I’m the pediatric surgeon on call, so yeah,” you agreed, staring at him. “But it’s probably going to turn into a full-on discussion. Operating his intestines can also mess up a lot of things. I’ll talk to my colleagues about it, let’s keep him hydrated and balance out his electrolytes externally for now.”
Jungkook nodded, absent minded. He had probably reached the same conclusion before he even walked in, that much you knew. After a second of silence, he spoke up again. “So,” he said, “any plans for the next hour?”
And that’s how it always started.
Having relations in the hospital was always a huge no-no in your book — so, how you always ended up pressed against the wall with his large hand over you mouth, you had no idea. It was the same theory as before, you thought: you were chasing after the college experiences you never had before, but the impulsive, teenage-like mentality came a little too late.
“Why are you so loud today?” He asked, fighting back his own sounds. Jungkook’s voice was groggy, hanging over the edge, and you could feel yourself clenching around him already. Quickies always made you rush — in all possible ways. “Missed me that much?”
You could only nod, blinking up at him. Jungkook licked his lips and dove into a heated, passionate kiss. You felt like crying.
Yesterday, he had asked you about trying new things with new people. He said he was scared of making anything official between the two of you because he “has never had anyone else”, so he didn’t want to jump into a full on commitment, even if he “liked you very much” and “looked up to you as a person and as a colleague”. You had felt your heart break into a million pieces, but, like the pushover that you were, you agreed. Even though you also liked him very much and didn’t want to see him with anyone else — you agreed.
And now Jungkook was kissing you and you felt like throwing up because you didn’t know who had he kissed in the meantime. Didn’t know if he had his eyes in someone else, if he was just trying to create some distance because he didn’t see a future with you. You felt replaceable, and that’s something you had worked hard to never feel.
With a groan muffled against your shoulder, Jungkook spilled himself inside the condom, holding tightly onto you hips. You followed right after, but the pleasure was muted by the emptiness that grew inside your chest.
“I needed this,” he breathed out. “Thank you.”
If he said that because he missed you or if he was nervous for a date and needed a way to unwind, you never knew. “No problem.” You lied through your teeth. “I needed you too.”

And who assisted DB on the basket that placed her above her ex-wife in all-time scoring? Her fiancée Alyssa Thomas
I love that this is the plot of the most-watched WNBA game in years.
2 million people watched Dewanna Bonner become top 5 in all-time scoring!! 2 million people watched Alyssa Thomas add to her all-time triple double record!! 2 million people watched Dijonai Carrington's impactful defense!! 2 million people saw Steph White's sick leather jacket!! I hope these wonderful women have at least 1 million new fans 🧡

No you don’t understand. Dave finally winning again after losing to H and False in MCC9 DB. H screaming “and I didn’t even do anything!”. Cub’s casual confidence in Dodgebolt. Dave’s sincere “I have never doubted you”. False finally getting redemption for the Blue9 DB round 1 with H “False Supremacy” Bomb screaming from the sidelines. The way they actually wanted SG, didn’t get it, kept morale high, did great in TGTTOS, and got to Dodgebolt. (Blue9 didn’t want SG, got it, got into DB anyway.) Dave absolutely carrying morale in TGTTOS by mentioning they had to focus on team bonuses and finishing. Their slick comms in the colour piston Grid Runners room. Dave enjoying games he usually doesn’t. Dave sandkeeping first time in SOT. False getting kicked down by George in the last round of TGTTOS but slaying in DB anyway. They had no players that placed top 10. The hermits (!!) suddenly popping off as hunters in PkT. False and Cub being the hermit duo to win together twice after Orange10 and Yellow20. H, False, Cub winning right after Yellow28. They were so solid. They crept up the ranks. And they won.

So this post was originally something entirely different for an entirely different fandom but I'm rewriting it now as what I really want to talking about.
youtube
It's a fucking. WALTZ.
The Soriku side of the fandom has picked this song to bits, having the game featuring the two main characters who have one of the strongest bonds in the series and having their theme for the game where they're together be a waltz is just a perfect hint towards their possible romantic relationship together.
Frankly, I think that's just beautiful, and if we ever get another kh game where we play both Riku and Sora, I'd love to see the DB call back to this song in some way. I also like how it's most magical, dreamlike. It fits DREAM drop distance.
I dunno, I love this song so much. It's definitely not my favorite Dearly Beloved (save me days/com/mom/kh2 db... save me) but it's up there. Then again ranking the Dearly Beloveds is a task no one should even try to do because they're all just so damn good. Yoko please come back for kh4, DBs aren't the same without you.
For the -1 person curious what the original post was gonna look like, it was gonna be something like "oh yeah these two fictional relationships soirta mirror each other in how they play out, one starting with hatred and the other ending with it" and how this is the db that would be on my playlist for them because I love the idea of the two dancing no idea why but just gahhhh them <3
Now that I think about it, I should rank the DBs, just to see how much I can screw that list up and have it all change in a day max.
#kingdom hearts#kh#dearly beloved#dream drop distance#soriku#gahhh i love them so much#3 days until the anniversary#pls give us news#im so tired#i woke up from a nap and had this song in my head and of course the brain decided to be a brain and did it's brain thing#now we're here#GAHHHH it's a WALTZ#sora#riku#they're so special to me#ive been playing through ddd recently#i hate the gameplay ngl but it's an alright game#it's got some great riku moment#im rambling now srry#Youtube

Old mod page, abandoned 3/2/24; New mod page @ Godsibb
Finally, after 2 years of work, it is complete. -But still being updated.
There's a Japanese version of the mod now!
今は日本語版のMODがある!
This is a mod for Xenogears using Retroarch's Beetle PSX HW core real-time texture replacement feature. (It requires the Vulkan driver, so make sure your graphics card supports that.) (Duckstation doesn't have a similar option, unfortunately.)
It replaces every single character dialogue portrait, menu portrait, & (almost every) battle portrait (looking at you, Yggdra officer Gear pilots) with high quality, cleaned up artwork, as well as recreated high quality UI while keeping it as close to the original game as possible.
And best thing about it is, if there's anything you don't like about it, like certain aspects of the UI, you can locate and delete that file from the folder. Everything is optional. (if you have any questions as to what's what, drop them into my dms)
Current version: 1.4
現在の日本語版: 1.4
(More screenshots below download info and UI changes.)
Being a real-time texture replacer, it should work with any English version of XG, both base-game and modded/patched. Any fan-translated patch using the US version as a base should display correctly.
There's a separate version for the Japanese version of the game. May need some editing still with other characters' UI ("Ether"/"Spells"/"Arcane"/etc) but for the most part its good to go in terms of battle UI. Let me know if you find any errors.
(I've been using it with the Perfect Works Build mod. Highly recommended!)
(Note!!: If you use PWB mod, don't use its "readjusted portraits" patch when patching your rom, as that patch interferes with this mod's portraits texture replacing.)
(It works on Steam Deck... but don't ask me for details in setting that up in particular, I don't own one 😅)
~~~
Download/ダウンロード
I recommend reading the instructions txt files I included in the DL.
This includes information such as how to set up .cue and .m3u files, swapping discs, renaming the texture folder, Retroarch settings and Beetle PSX HW Core settings to get the mod working, settings suggestions for making a cleaner looking and faster playing XG (YMMV), and settings to fix certain emulation issues Ive come across (freezing on fast-forward, crackling audio during 3D/effects-heavy cutscenes/gameplay, blank screen during Rico flashback, etc).
~~~~~~~~~~
-Changes made to the UI include:
Menu UI:
selection triangle, Walk/Gear icons
menu portraits
▲ ■ ● ✖ button DeathBlow menu icons
ABXY button DeathBlow menu icon- alternate textures
Battle UI and on-foot specific battle UI:
Circular battle palette and tags behind text
Battle palette text, "Combo", "Return", "Enter", "Miss", "EP", & HP/DMG/heal/AP numbers
HP/AP bars
"Time", "fuel", "total damage", AP numbers, "1/2/3 point(s)", "cancel end"
battle portraits
▲ ■ ● ✖ button DeathBlow icons
ABXY button Deathblow icons- alternate textures
Bottom screen mid-DeathBlow ▲ ■ ✖ icons (unfortunately, there's no way to change the other mid-DB quadruple-button icons)
Combo 1-7 and Accept icons
In-Gear specific battle UI:
"fuel" and fuel numbers
"Fuel" (when using boost)
fuel bars (top and left)
All Gear status menus' green text/numbers
Attack level numbers and ∞
Gear menu backgrounds
Gear "power shut down", "camera damaged", "out of fuel", etc, statuses
background UI elements, runes, triple red triangles, Gear lock-on UI (unfortunately, there's no way to change the circular part of this UI)
Misc UI changes:
Red/grey spheres (in the menu and loading screen)
All instances of selection diamonds, both horizontal and vertical
Load/save screen "CARD 1"/"2" text, memory card icon, load/save bar/text
Disc 1 and 2 maps (with alternate color versions; makes the enterable area indicators harder to see though)
NESW compass letters (unfortunately, there's no way to change the circular compass texture)

I won't be showing all portraits here; only the ones worth mentioning.
Portraits created for the mod that have no artwork equivalent:
Portraits to match their sprites vs official unedited artwork:
(default on left, alt on right)
Roni/Medena/Erich edited sprite equivalent vs their official PW art
Citan edited unsmiling (dialogue-only) sprite equivalent vs official smiling art)
Krelian(s) edited sprite equivalent vs official art
Portrait alts created for fun:
Both sides of scar-eyed Bart
Two-eyed Bart
Kim lab coat with glasses
Fei-colored Id
Fei-colored Id with Id's yellow eyes
Fei-colored young & older Emeralda
(might add to this list later. have any suggestions? fun ideas? lmk. It doesn't have to be canon-compliant.)
Screenshots of alt portraits in-use:
I'll continue to update this and subsequently reblog it as new versions are released.
With any new updates, just DL and replace/overwrite the old folder.
In-progress tumblr post of the past as a bit of a time capsule for myself 😄
