JUST THE TIP(S) - A.H

aaron learns the hard way that upping your maintenance allowance has unexpected, explicit perks. especially when you insist on showcasing your newest investment while he's stuck miles away.

pairings: aaron hotchner x bimbo!assistant!reader warnings: 18+ MDNI, sexting, nsfw imagery, exhibitionism? (in the form of pictures), references to masturbation, workplace inappropriateness, power dyanmics (boss/employee), dirty talk, sugar daddy hotch vibes wc: 1.7k request: here!

Hotch attempts to read the file in front of him again, just to keep himself busy, but it starts to resemble gibberish somewhere between the countless victim timelines and his unwavering staring contest with the phone screen. 

Nothing. Still nothing. 

It’s been, he glances down for confirmation, thirty-nine minutes since he hit send. Not exactly long enough to panic. Yet here he is, panicking, because your replies normally land instantly, punctuated with frantic emojis, a parade of exclamation points, and nonsensical crises like:

i just made toast and almost caught my sleeve on fire but it’s ok now !!!! 🤭

So, yeah. Thirty-nine minutes feels like a small eternity.

Last week, he had upped your spending limit. You murmured something vague about having a bad day. You didn’t supply any specifics, no dramatics, just an innocent observation that he instantly took as an urgent call to action.

He logged into your account and adjusted your monthly extras, expanding that little safety net you didn’t even know he color-coded as you-time on his accounting spreadsheet. 

It wasn’t even remotely about the actual money. How could it be, when you were always giving pieces of yourself away — filling his silence with your easy chatter, kissing his frown lines, leaving perfume on his pillow (and everywhere else). So if a few extra hundred dollars meant more wellness appointments or a couple frivolous purchases that could help you feel more like yourself, it was the easiest, most obvious choice in the world. 

This is what he attributed your lack of response to. You’re probably out using that buffer right now.

He doesn’t need to spiral.

But he does anyway. Because when he’s not around, you have a tendency to forget to hydrate, to neglect to eat anything remotely nutritious, to lose yourself in shiny distractions, and his mind, unfortunately, never seems to shut off where you’re concerned.

He digs the heel of his hand into his forehead, trying not to jump to worst-case scenarios. He’s not clingy. Definitely not the kind of boyfriend who sends another text after less than an hour. 

Still, he nudges his phone a bit closer, strictly precautionary.

It takes exactly fifteen more agonizing, anxiety-inducing minutes — minutes shaped like big neon question marks — before the phone finally buzzes.

You: hi bossman !! miss ur grumpy face sooooo bad it’s criminal (arrest me??) how’s the case?

He exhales through his nose. His first thought is to correct you, to say that he’s definitely not grumpy, but his fingers pause, and he erases it instead. 

He is grumpy, though he’s fairly certain it’s directly correlated with how long it’s been since he’s since your face.

Hotch: Miss you too. Case is fine. Hopefully wrapping soon. Should be home late tomorrow. What did you do today? Everything okay?

You: yay !! can’t wait to see u ! got my nails done 🩷 they’re sparkly pink and sooo cute wanna see?

He snorts once, rubbing his thumb over the edge of his phone.

Hotch: Somehow I already know exactly what they look like.

He pauses, considers, then quickly adds,

Hotch: Send them anyway.

Hotch expects something wholesome, mundane even, manicure displayed prettily around a cup of overpriced coffee (a staple for you) or maybe the steering wheel of your car. 

What he receives instead is categorically, devastatingly the antithesis of wholesome. Completely unfit for polite company. His phone nearly plummets to the floor accordingly, eyebrows already halfway to his hairline.

Your new nails, as glittery as you advertised and innocent enough in isolation, become fully obscene in context, pussy spread wide, your fingertips highlighting slick, swollen folds and a flushed, glistening clit practically begging for attention. 

Hotch has always considered you beautiful — insanely, impossibly so — but this vision of you. A vision where you’re open, soaked with a brazen sweetness that borders on indecent, surpasses beauty entirely.

It’s sinful, artful perfection crafted with the sole intent of his demise. No matter how quickly he closes his eyes, the image is now seared permanently into his brain, burnt onto his retinas in dripping pixels.

Hotch never could fathom why anyone would willingly risk sending something so compromising. It spat in the face of good judgment and flagrantly ignored every articulated piece of advice he’d ever given. He’d lectured until your eyes glazed over about internet safety, how every text you send is stored indefinitely in some obscure digital archive, potentially retrieved at the most inopportune times. 

He was certain, perhaps arrogantly so, that you’d internalized his paranoia.

How wrong he had been.

Because he now stands staring at the evidence of your rebellion, humbly acknowledging that he himself has become precisely the sort of fool he’d warned you about, happily entrapped by the irreverence of a single photograph.

The only genuine risk Aaron can currently recognize is the frankly painful strain of his cock pressing against his zipper and the fact that you’re hundreds of miles away. 

He draws in a sharp, shaky breath through gritted teeth, silently pleading with unapologetically indifferent cosmos to grant him patience. 

Or teleportation.

Hotch: Gorgeous nails, sweetheart. Clever use of your resources, though next time save me the torture and just show me in person.

You: glad u like them 😇😇 maybe consider it motivation to hurry home faster?

Hotch: Duly noted. If I close this case in record time, you’ll know exactly why.

You: i can always send additional inspiration if it helps your productivity 🥰

He doesn’t remember making the conscious decision, and frankly, he doesn’t care enough to second-guess it now, because his palm is already moving, instinctively pressing down to relieve the unbearable tension straining his trousers.

He’s halfway through typing out his surrender (a blunt, undignified Yes. Now.) when a sudden, sharp knock jerks him brusquely back into a reality that pales considerably compared to what he’s just been forced to abandon.

His thumb stalls above the send button then pockets the phone, exhaling through his nose as he smooths the front of his tie with a touch more vigor than necessary.

If he were honest, and lately honesty seems unavoidable, another second spent alone with your message would inevitably lead him to doing something highly inappropriate beneath the desk, your name hissed quietly against clenched teeth.

By the time he reaches the door, Hotch has resigned a reasonable facsimile of composure.

At least from the waist up.

He cracks the door open cautiously, standing at an awkward, stiff angle, hoping that Rossi won’t notice the disarray happening beneath his belt.

“Local PD's still caught up arguing procedural technicalities,” Rossi drawls, seemingly unaware. “Apparently, nothing moves forward without our explicit approval.”

You’ll have to wait. And so will his dick.

The so-called procedural technicalities take three hours. Three. hours. One hundred and eighty increasingly insufferable minutes drowning in bureaucratic drudgery, combing through details Hotch is positive he could recite while heavily medicated. He pinches the bridge of his nose, attempting to fend off the migraine steadily encroaching.

He’d managed the polite, dutiful thing — a succinct, thoroughly unsatisfying reply to you about responsibility and paperwork, the kind of message that made his own eyes roll at its dreariness compared to your far more compelling offer.

And now, each monotonous signature is underscored by thoughts of you, each image progressively more not-safe-for-work than the last.

He pictures your nails, painted in that damned color you loved so much, wrapping firmly around his cock, stroking with leisurely hands. How good it would feel. How you would lean closer with thay look in your eyes, lips parted, whispering filthy words that would make the tips of his ears bleed red.

He loved spoiling you, sure, but secretly, selfishly, he knew the real reward came later, when your fingertips traced up and down each vein of his length.

His daydream splinters to pieces as another officer delivers a statement so inane, Hotch considers, with alarming sincerity, the merits of repeatedly banging his head against the wall.

Before he can fully commit to a public crisis of faith in his career choices, his phone vibrates in his pocket.

Stupidly, he sneaks a quick look,

You: bet that paperwork has you wound up tight. when u get home, feel free to fuck out all that frustration. im yours however u want me <3

Hotch snaps his phone off with such force he’s briefly amazed the device doesn’t shatter.

He redirects his gaze at the neat rows of law enforcement jargon before him, willing the flush spreading from his neck to his ears to retreat. He’s knows he’s past the age of blushing fits, but apparently, you delight in reminding him otherwise.

Hotch’s eyes briefly skim the room, double-checking that the rest of his team is sufficiently absorbed in their tasks.

Hotch: I sincerely hope you’re prepared to stand by that offer, he sends back, thumb tapping a bit faster. Because I fully intend to take advantage of your generosity. 

The familiar little bubbles of an incoming message appear almost immediately, punctuated seconds later by the ping of an attachment.

Hotch reopens the thread, only to be met with an image of your pretty hands cupping even prettier breasts.

Suddenly, he’s standing, brisk strides carrying him toward the hallway, a curt, excuse me tossed hastily behind him, already pressing your contact photo before the door swings fully shut behind him.

You answer on the first ring. “Hi there, handsome. Calling to check on me?”

Your voice, dripping with honeyed naivety, and the image of your tits still pulsing insistently behind his eyelids, sends an immediate rush of heat southward.

Hotch grits his teeth, resisting the temptation to flee toward the bathroom for a quick release.

“Do you really think you’re being fair to me? While I’m stuck here, of all places?”

“Fairness is subjective. Personally, I think it’s unfair you’re so far away when I clearly need your expert opinion on this manicure.”

“Expert opinions are usually best delivered in person. Very hands-on.”

Your giggle spills through the line, and Hotch is convinced it should be bottled and sold as medicine. How he managed to win the privilege of hearing it on demand is an eternal mystery.

“Aaron Hotchner,” you whisper, “is this how you typically behave at the office, or am I getting special treatment today?”

“You’re permanently on the receiving end of special treatment.”

Another giggle.

“Well, I fully intend to cash in on that privilege when you get home, and I advise your neighbors to consider getting some top-quality earplugs.”

He clears his throat, shifting his weight from one foot to the other to mask the fidgeting as purposeful adjustment. Unsuccessfully, of course. He can feel Morgan’s stare burning pointedly into the side of his head. Honestly, if roles were reversed, Aaron would probably be offering equally unsubtle judgment.

“Sweetheart,” he warns, lowering his voice, “you’re making it exceedingly difficult to pretend this call is work-related.”

“Fine, fine,” you say. “Go play nice with your friends and come home safely. I miss you.”

“I’ll be there as soon as humanly possible.” He inwardly rolls his eyes at his inability to maintain any credible authority with you. “Try to stay out of trouble until then.”

“No promises.” He can picture the smile on your face. “But I’ll do my best to keep your investment safe, these nails weren’t cheap, after all.”

“Careful. Because when I get home, I won’t be gentle enough to guarantee their safety.”

Soulmate Hangster au

A soulmate universe where 87% of the population has text writing depicting the name of their soulmate, Bradley is born without a mark at all.

Carole and Nick are aghast, but do their best to be supportive. Their own marks match, in loopy cursive along their inner elbow.

But when Bradley is 4, he wakes up to the burning sensation on his back that makes him cry out. His parents are there in an instant, soothing and confused, both watching in surprise as the beginnings of a mark etches into their sons shoulder—

—but not as writing, or even the start of a name, but as a murky, blurred symbol.

As Bradley grows up, he begins to hide his mark. Not because he's ashamed, or that he doesn't like it, but because it's special. He knows his match is out there somewhere, and their bond is destined for greatness. For something beautiful.

Mav says his mark looks like an unfocused image of an f-14, and his dad agrees. His mom says it doesn't matter what it might be, just that he's sure to have one helluva soulmate if their mark is that of a fighter pilots plane. Uncle Ice spends the following month teaching him the ins and outs of a tomcat, and any other plane Bradley wishes to learn about as well.

High school is a mess. Girls and boys alike flock to Bradley because he's so secretive of his mark. Bets and rumors and guesses flood the student body about who it might be, and why Bradley is hiding it.

(A notable rumor is that his mark names that of a teacher, and that he's secretly fucking them after class everyday. How some people got to that, he'll never know, but it's hilarious. )

Although he gets accepted into Annapolis, he still wants to see if anything may tickle his fancy, so he opts into attending Virginia state university. It's okay, pretty boring and definitely not what he wants to do with his life. So back to school he goes.

Flight school is grueling but people there aren't as worried about marks as they are about surviving the onslaught of hell week and training exercises and studying. Bradley gets acquainted with Natasha, a fiery female pilot that threatens to kick his balls the first time they met.

He also meets Jake Seresin. A very arrogant asshole that makes Bradley want to simultaneously tame the brat and simply lie down and let him show off how he desires. It's confusing and arousing and Bradley can't help but want more; more interaction, more arguments, more more more.

But the one thing that holds him back is that Jake mentions his mark—or lack thereof. He tells it simply, that he's markless and proud and doesn't give a rats ass about soulmates and marks and what anyone thinks.

Bradley, who has spent years yearning for his other half, for his mark to make sense, to share a bond like his parents, like his uncles, he struggles with this.

Because on one hand he's drawn to Jake, but he's also weary of trying to go forth.

So he does neither and let's the festering feelings boil in his chest, and only let's it out as sharp remarks and scathing words. He and Jake become the infamous rivals—always picking apart the others' flaws and performance, always at each other's throats.

Years pass by, and Bradley catches glimpses of Jake on base, on carriers, at local bars with Coyote and some civilian hanging off his arm. He doesn't try to approach him, for fear of that bubbling something in his chest boiling over and spilling out for all to see.

They go to Top Gun, then go their own ways again. Bradley keeps up with Jake's career through inconspicuous probing to uncle Ice and uncle Mav, who answer his questions with knowing looks and teasing jibes.

Time passes. Then one evening Bradley was cooking and everything was fine, until he's brought to his knees by the burning burning burning on his back, his mark scathing so bad he's almost in tears clutching at the countertop. He panics and calls Mav and when the older pilot shows up and checks him over, he's surprised when Mav says his mark had changed, expanded. His tiny little tomcat mark now has two fighter jets, one slightly higher and to the left of his original. Mav doesn't know what it means, nor does Ice or his parents when they call them. So Bradley hopes it means something good and tries to move on.

Then they get called back for the uranium mission.

Bradley hasn't seen Jake in years now, he isn't prepared for Jake at the hard deck to be so bright, to be so cocky. To have a soulmark proudly displayed on the side of his throat, so beautiful and out of this world; the matching mark to Bradley's own.

Theyre soulmates.

It makes sense, then, to him. All those years he spent with Jake at the back of his mind, always a second thought during his days. The need to know what Jake was doing, how he was doing. The desire to learn what Jake's lips taste like. What his skin feels like under his fingertips.

He's breathless and surprised and thrown off guard and almost stumbles when Jake's gaze finally lands on him. "Bradshaw, as I live and breathe."

Bradley has to hope his face isn't doing something ridiculous as he replies, "Hangman, you look" amazing perfect mine "...good."

He has to talk to Jake, but alone. Not right now. They have time.

hi hi!! what do you think ab idia with a (normally introverted, but maybe similar to him in the sense that they get unusually excited about things they're passionate/a fan of) yuu whos basically his simp?? like the no.2 biggest idia fan (only coming after ortho ofc!!)

like idia's doing absolutely NOTHING and they're staring at him "siiiigh isn't he so cool <3" while everyone thinks they have some issues

sorry if this sounds rambley ghhhfhhghhf

𐙚 Idia Shroud

He wouldn’t have expected anyone to ever act that way towards him, but especially not you— There was… something he picked up on the first time you talked, a sort of weird feeling he got when he noticed the way you stared at him. But how was he supposed to guess that you’d develop this sort of admiration towards him, out of all people in this world…?

Idia honestly assumed that the only reason you were looking at him so intensely was because you thought he was weird. It just felt so obvious? He doesn’t know the details of your arrival to NRC, but everyone in school knows you’re a real outsider. So he just… subconsciously concluded you’d think he was weird and that’s all. Hell, even regular NRC students think he’s weird.

The first compliment he hears feels like… honestly, just a really pleasant surprise? You said something about his technology, he doesn’t really remember what now— Something about it being impressive that he managed to get his tablet to do what it does. The blazes of his hair expand as they grow pink and he freezes for a moment before stammering out his response. ”Y…You think so? It’s… not even my best work, though. Heh.”

…It makes him a little bit cocky. At least for a while. He was seriously expecting you to be judgemental, but it turns out you think the things he does are cool? Maybe you two could even become friends, you’re so curious about the things he does, and he’s definitely willing to explain them in detail, he’s wanted to for a while—

Of course, however, there are only so many compliments Idia can handle before his brain starts to malfunction. He ends up inviting you to play a game with him on call after you said you wanted to learn how to play it, and that’s where things start going beyond Idia’s comprehension. He shows you how to do something, could be a really simple thing, and you’re immediately awed. He starts wondering if you’re actually making fun of him, his explanations getting disrupted by stutters—

Idia waits for your “true” mocking intentions to become clear. They never do, no matter how much he fumbles his words, or even the things he’s doing in the game. You just keep copying him, any of his nerve-induced, totally amateur mistakes going over your head. Raving about how cool it was and how skilled he is and how much fun you’re having. He really just can’t keep up with it. You couldn’t be serious, even though it sounded like you couldn’t be anything but serious.

He drops the call suddenly, too flustered to continue, and the day after you come up to him to ask if everything was okay. You keep staring at him with those big eyes, full of admiration even Idia’s self-deprecation can’t deny. How the hell did someone like you end up in his life? He gives out an excuse while he tries and fails to process the whole situation. You’re talking about how you’re glad he’s alright and looking forwars to the next time you’ll game together. This does not feel real. Not at all.

Idia finds that he doesn’t hate it. Not in the slightest, really. He’s only human after all, of course it feels good to be admired, and you’re always really nice and fun to spend time with. But, especially when he sees you sighing dreamily over him as you talk to your friends, who just look at you like they can’t believe the words coming out of your mouth, he can’t help but agree with their sentiment— Even though he’s still not complaining about the sudden attention at all. And, really, he never will.

Charisma Etched on Strings

You despised being near Scaramouche. It was a danger to your well-being.

Because all you can feel is the warmth of his body traveling to yours, enclosing around you and morphing into the oxygen that you so desperately need to survive.

Electric guitarist!Scaramouche x Gn!Reader

Notes: I swear this one has no set pov. It switches between Scara and the reader so I apologize for that. Also, I'm not that good at wiriting x readers *insert crying emoji*

Warning: Slight cursing

It was supposed to be a harmless guitar lesson.

So how the fuck did you end up sitting on this shithead’s lap?

“Easy sweetheart. Stop squirming," Scaramouche’s grating voice reverberated throughout the otherwise empty room. The words he spouts are pestiferous, enough to ensure a fist will land on his face if he doesn’t shut up soon. You merely asked him for a guitar lesson, not to be manhandled and subjectively humiliated by this sick bastard of a friend. “Get me off your lap!" you protest, writhing against his arms. 

You want nothing to do with this. 

Yet he cages you with that god-forbidden instrument of his, propping the black, electric guitar in front of you. You were effectively sandwiched between that handsome son of a bitch and his prized musical instrument. “You said you wanted to learn right?" he mused, his calloused hand cascading down your wrist to seize it securely, "This is the fastest way." 

Lies. 

You scoff at his pathetic excuse to justify himself. He’s just so full of bull. You know he was amused at your predicament, your thrashing and twisting igniting a twinge of sadistic pleasure within him. Scara shifts slightly, a lock of your hair twirled around his index finger, “Now stop moving so we can start our lesson.”

Without much of a choice, you reluctantly compelled to his demands. Your tantrums ceased, much to Scara's entertainment. He knows how much you detest your current dilemma and he couldn't help but take advantage of it. He wants to mess with you. To increasingly rile you up every passing second. He presses his chest completely against your back, wanting to see those cute little veins of yours pop out. His lips twitched upwards as he made sure there wouldn't be any space left between you two. He could hear your pretty lips part and verbalize a gasp. 

A sweet, sweet treat for his ears. 

He couldn't be bothered to give you a chance to retaliate. It was way more fun toying with you when he rendered you helpless. Leaning closer and letting his breath fan against the tip of your ears, his fruity voice resounds through your brain and into your spine in the form of shivers. "Let's learn some basic chords first," he murmurs as he slinks his fingers towards yours, hovering over them. Scara felt the smirk on his face expand, you sure do have a warm set of hands. He surely wouldn't mind if it was pressed with his all the time. Stuck in his wishful thinking, he absentmindedly squeezed your thumb lightly. He blinks. Ah, he was getting distracted. He clears his throat and he proceeds, "Just like in every lesson, we start with C". 

He adjusts your index finger to pin the second string on the first fret. He does the same with your middle and ring finger, stationing them on the second fret of the fourth string and the third fret of the fifth string respectively. His loitering fingers aid in pushing down the strings as he's aware that you're probably not pressing down hard enough. It also helped restrain any movements that may disrupt the sound when plucked. You, on the other hand, verbalized a protest. 

“Hey, that hurts," you hissed as you tried to lift your finger off. Even just slightly. But Scara wouldn't let you. He remains unfazed, unbothered by the fact that your fingers are possibly bruising underneath his. “It’s supposed to idiot, it's your first time,” Scara rolls his eyes and his resolve to keep your finger position doesn't falter. 

You'll definitely punch him after this. 

“Now strum,” he instructs and you've got half the mind to not follow through. Curse your curiosity though, washing away each and every one of your senses, dulling them and allowing it to control your other hand to strum the strings. It made a tune, not akin to those voice cracks of teenagers going through puberty or screeching bats when viciously searching for their next meal. It was a pleasant melody, a fine sound that signifies a correct mark. Scara smiles, watching in delight how taken aback you looked. "Good. Next chord," he was ready to shift the position of your fingers once more. Your fingers wouldn't budge though. You've reached your limit.

You've certainly had enough. 

Your heart's been racing since the beginning and you were sure you won't be able to take it anymore. Not with him being this close. You catch a whiff of his perfume, a woody fragrance with a base of leather that never fails to drive you insane. You want to smash your head against the wall so badly.

You despised being near him. It was a danger to your well-being.

Because all you can feel is the warmth of his body traveling to yours, enclosing around you and morphing into the oxygen that you so desperately need to survive.

"This is stupid", you scoffed before he could move your fingers. Scara tilts his head in your direction. Oh? Were you going to object to him again? How cute. He chuckles and raises his brow, “What is?” 

“Your way of teaching.” With a groan, you go back to your squirming strategy to try and break loose from his predatorial hold, “Can't we do this without being an inch away from each other?” 

Scara merely laughs at you. ‘Why? Does the closeness bother you?" he teases. He would get closer to you if he could, but there's literally no more space left between you and him. So he opts to angle his lips adjacent to your neck and let out a drag of air. His breath brushes against your skin, parallel to a gentle caress from a lover. He was so sure he just heard your breathing hitch. Adorable.

“Is this better?” he smirks, heaving a drawn-out breath once more. You shake your head and writhe, flailing your arms wildly in a fit of fulmination. Scara can't help but grin at your antics. He doesn't back down, reinforcing his hold over you. He won’t let go. I mean, why would he? When you fit perfectly in his arms?  

Your scuffle abated for a second and he caught the way your face turned into a stunning shade of red. “Aw, you're even blushing for me," he remarks, prompting you to resume your thrashing.

“Of course not! Why would I be!?” 

Scara chuckles, his gaze never leaving you. "Why the denial? Anyone with eyes can see how red you've gotten because of me."

You wanted to wipe that smug expression plastered on his face. He knows that. He's just reveling in the fact that you couldn't. 

He elevated his head to meet your twitching ears, ready to grace them with an assortment of breathy words bound to hit that sore spot in your heart. "There's nothing to deny you know? Not when I'm right here. Mindful and observant of how you feel towards me."

His fingers dragged from your jaw to your cheek, leaving a touch so sensual it's flabbergasting at most. He rested his hands along your cheek as he spoke with an allure that was sure to keep you on the edge, subconsciously thirsting for more. "I know you like me. You like it when we're this close," he continues, cocking your head up and exposing more of that tempting throat of yours. Not that he can see it from his point of view, but from the front? It would certainly be a sensual sight that would drive every inch of his self-control onto the edge of a cliff. 

"I don't mind it though. I don't mind watching your pathetic descent into the abyss of my heart," he chuckles, hands falling towards your lips. It was quite the contrast, his rough fingers kneading against your soft and plump lips. 

"So just fall for me, yeah?" his thumb rubs your upper lip in a circular motion. Honestly, he's tempted to shove his finger in your mouth. He wants to hear your feeble whines as he occasionally toys with your tongue, your erotic whimpers that deluges his entire sensibility. But he doesn't. At least not now.

"I'll be sure to catch you"

⊹˚݁₊⚝ִ˖ִ ݁ introducing vivienne ݁ ˖ִ ࣪⚝₊ ⊹˚

[ character playlist — major wip ] [ template by @fiangrey ]

hello! :3 i plan to update this post regularly as i figure out more about her. i have a lot of brain worms rn and i definitely want to disect her some more but first i need to form coherent thoughts. for now, i've just re-typed and slightly expanded on everything above in case it's difficult to read for some. under the cut :)

Name: Vivienne [???] Alias: V, Viv, Vivi DOB: April 10, 2049 Sex: Female, she/her Height: 178cm, 5'8" Place of Birth: [Somewhere in] Night City Affiliation: Afterlife Mercs Sexuality: Bisexual Ethnicity/Nationality: Mixed [???] American Vehicle: ARCH Nazaré "Racer" Weapons: Katanas, throwing knives, silenced pistols Cyberware: Kiroshi "Sentry" Optics, Militech "Apogee," Mantis Blades

notes

Vivienne knows nothing about her birth parents- just that her mother was a joytoy that fell victim to some Tyger Claw goon, in more ways than one. She vaguely remembers being a child and being dragged from motel room to motel room by her mom. The memories of her mom are fuzzy, fading with age- but the memory of finding her body in a motel in Watson never really fades.

She stays in the Watson area after her mom is murdered, not that she has much of a choice. Viv stole a lot to get by as a child, pick-pocketing civilians and nabbing goods from food stands when vendors had their backs turned. She learns to defend herself through trial and error. Sometimes she wasn't as sneaky as she thought.

Vivienne has a preference for katanas as they were the first weapons she actually learns to wield. Her first blade was a souvenir from the first Claw she ever flat-lined. It's worth next to nothing but it's a prized possession.

She spends most of her life on the streets until she meets Jackie at 17, shortly after he leaves the Valentinos. [trust me this will be expanded on it hurts to think about now. they were friends for almost ten years before the heist, a bit longer than canon street kid v. they were also more than friends at some point.]

Vivienne and Jackie decide to start working together after they decide they're better off as friends. Jackie is under the impression that the idea to be friends is mutual (spoiler alert: it was not). He's just too important to her for those feelings to get in the way. She gets over it eventually. It just takes two years.

That being said, she's definitely not crazy about the idea of that shit happening again, so she becomes pretty closed off afterwards. She hooks up with mercs here and there, and although one in particular catches her eye, she often reminds herself that there are no good endings in Night City. [ehehehehe]

She loses herself in merc work after Jackie's passing, avoiding any real, meaningful relationships until she meets Panam. Her and the Aldecados help Viv realize (again) that she doesn’t have to do everything alone. [will be getting into this in the future also :3]

She's a huuuuge stoner. Prefers rolling up and keeping them in Evelyn's cigarette case for convenience. After the heist, she rolls up with tobacco leaves to shut Johnny the hell up. He bitches about it not being the same but she knows he loves the high. ("you're also less of a bitch when you're high." "i'm gonna kill us both if you don't shut up.") Post-chip, she does it to remember him.

if you go to the end thank you! <3 i will update this soon with more information on her past and her developing relationships. this is all i had time for this weekend! qwq

[puppetwoman17]

I would like to expand on the joker junior idea. Imagine Batman going to arkham to interrogate Joker for another case, leading to him getting beaten by bats while laughing about how he not only failed Jason but Tim as well. Laughing about how he tortured him, revealing his identity, how easy it was to break him. Batman then threatening to end him and joker replied with "Oh Batsy, if you truly were capable of doing it then Junoir wouldn't have needed to shoot me".

While that was happening everyone except was listening in the whole time and are seething about everything they heard until Tim put his ear piece back on that he took off before Batman started his interrogation because he knows it will get them nowhere so he tries to find a new lead (not because the very sound of Joker's laughter sends him back to when he was screaming as he was getting electrocuted and injected with joker venom that ridiculous he's fine) and told Bruce that he found another lead, getting him to stop pummeling Joker and leaving while he was left there laughing.

Sorry if this is all over the place it was something I came up with after reading your posts. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for this!

God that would honestly be mortifying for everyone involved(except the Joker obvi). All the kids are expecting him to taunt Bruce about Jason, and he does. He teases him on how he couldn’t get there in time and how his son still blamed him. Which, sure, Jason has his own gripes with his death, but the Joker is the person who he is LEAST okay with saying this.

But then things take a turn. The Joker starts talking about his SON, and since when did the Joker have a son? He calls him Junior. Teases the Bat that he was too late in saving him, and his boy would ALWAYS be a part of your little Red Ro—

Holy fucking shit.

Nightwing is screaming now. He demands that Batman tell them what the Joker meant. Why hadn’t he been told? What happened to Tim? Why did the Joker know him so well?

Jason is close to having a panic attack, because not only is the one person who scares him anymore on the loose, but he did the same to Tim. To his little brother. To someone who he’s grown close with over the years. Who definitely had a rocky relationship with him. Who talked with him despite that and worked with him despite that. To hear that that very same little brother had been attacked the same way he had, and worse, is more than enough to send the Red Hood on a rampage. The Joker isn’t escaping again, that’s for sure.

Cass is not one to make her presence known. She knows how to keep quiet. How to wait for the right time to strike, but she’s on the Joker in the next possible minute. Even Batman steps back and watches as she beats the person who hurt her brother into the ground. Batman doesn’t know whether to cheer her on, or tell her to stop.

Spoiler is the only one with Tim, and she can’t help but just stare. She doesn’t speak, she doesn’t yell or cry or accuse him of keeping such a heavy secret, she just looks at him. Not with pity, but with the sinking realization that no one knew. Not even her.

Damian wasn’t allowed to leave the cave. He’s sitting by the Batcomputer with Alfred behind him. While he and Drake didn’t have the closest relationship, it’s been some time since he truly thought of him as anything but his brother. He learned from him frequently, how to handle a specific gadget, how to deal with the Batman when his temper flared(slightly, he’s not an asshole anymore Dami(WHAT DO YOU MEAN ANYMORE??)). To hear about this horrifying experience and not be able to comfort Drake made him squirm in his seat.

He’s even more surprised when Pennyworth doesn’t give a single indication that he knows. Nightwing demands that Agent A tell them why he hid this from them. Everyone is shocked when he tells them he is just as clueless.

This is all background noise to Red Robin, because he just got a lead on where the Joker’s goons could be. He doesn’t pay attention to anyone’s words, instead telling Batman that he has a lead and to meet him at a location.

When all this is over and the Joker is back in custody, all Commissioner Gordon can do is pat Tim on the back and tell him to go the fuck home and sleep.

When all this is over, Babs locks up the Clocktower because she’s not dealing with this shit til she’s had her morning coffee.

If you want, can you expand protective Chris & Chef with alenoah (any au). Hope you have a good one 👍

Definitely! I'll do it for I'm Back in the Game, Except Not Really.

__________

Protective Chris & Chef: IBITGENR Edition

I'm gonna throw some general headcanons in along with the alenoah ones.

• As soon as Noah was eliminated, Chris showed him the room he and Chef put together for the teen on the staff level of the plane since they didn't trust any of the former contestants to not try and get clues or something from Noah now that he's no longer in the game. (Especially Alejandro, Heather, Courtney, and Duncan)

• They make sure he is fed and taking his medication and warm! They can't have their ki- assistant not in peak condition!

• Chef makes him carry a taser, pepper spray, a pocket knife, a cat eye defense keychain, a key that is really a knife, a whistle, a panic button, and a flare gun on him at all times. Noah may have gained muscle and such from his time as Chris's assistant, and his weight is finally getting to a healthy limit but that don't mean he's leaving his boy with nothing to defend himself. (Chef has acknowledged that he sees Noah as a son and is trying to get him husband to realize he also sees the snarky boy as his son).

• Chris is in constant contact with Noah's mom, Abbi. The two got close once Noah became an intern in season one. It was them getting close that made Noah's time as an intern short, and he was quickly promoted to assistant. Not because of favoritism or anything but because, look as much as people like to say Chris doesn't have a heart, he does, and their family situation got to him.

• Noah's mom and dad were in the process of getting a divorce during Island. Noah didn't know until after the show was over since they aren't allowed to contact anyone outside of the competition but Chris had gotten in contact with Abbi to ask her permission to hire her son as an intern. Abbi agreed, and it was during one of their talks where they were hashing out all the details that he heard a fight break out between Abbi and who he learned was Noah's dad Mason.

It was about Noah.

Specifically his conduct on the show. Mason had been ranting how it was Abbi's fault Noah didn't turn out like a "correct" man, and him losing was because she coddled him. Chris unwillingly heard everything and how it came out that Mason was the reason Noah wasn't as close to his sisters as he had once been. Mason had apparently gotten in his head and continuously compared Noah to his sisters in an effort to "motivate" him.

It got to the point that Noah stopped interacting with his sisters. They found this out at the same time Chris and Abbi did as apparently Mason couldn't keep his thoughts to himself and said anything and everything that came to mind. It ended with Abbi calmly saying she wanted a divorce.

The next time they were in talks with each other, Abbi broke down and confessed to Chris that Mason agreed to the divorce, but on the condition, he gets custody of Noah. During this time, Chris had already grown fond of Noah, so he was worried how all of this would affect the boy. So he helped Abbi find a good lawyer.

Mason's lawyer was going to use Noah's medical history and Abbi's work hours as a way to get custody and basically say Noah needed a parent who could take care of him whenever possible and not a parent with one of the busiest schedules as Abbi had always had a big workload. Mason was trying to make it seem like Noah needed care and was unable to do things on his own.

Chris's brilliant plan was to then hire Noah as an assistant instead so Abbi could show the courts he's more than able to work and provide for himself if needed. (Mason isn't the smartest person despite having a PHD. and being a professor.)

• Then Noah found out about the divorce after Island wrapped up, and Action was underway, and Chris got worried as the kid just threw himself into his work.

It took a lot of talks and more heart-to-hearts than Chris liked to get the kid to talk about how he was feeling and go get him to contact his mom and sister. Thankfully, Chef was there, and he was definitely a better listener than his husband.

• Unfortunately, the custody case ended up requiring they go to court, and Noah gave a statement. Chris and Chef were there the entire time, and through it, they found themselves close to the Mudaliar family. Therefore, they feel very protective of Noah after everything. [I might expand on this in a separate post, but this is canon in all my aus. Mason isn't the best nor the worst dad, just a really misguided one and in some aus he does genuinely try to be apart of his kids lives after the divorce but in others he just stops being there. This is one of them.]

_____ (moving on!)

• The first time Chris and Chef see Alejandro try and talk to Noah, they always end up having something for him to do. How weird.

• They are also not a fan of the intern who has been flirting with their boy either! But there's not much they can do there because they are low on interns and aren't allowed to fire anymore.

• Though they definitely distract him with meals (family dinners as Chef would say).

• They make sure Noah wears thermals under his normal clothes and jacket, and hat, and scarf, and gloves, when he was out during the Sweden challenge.

• They also noticed that despite their efforts, Alejandro managed to talk to Noah and even got him to smirk! And chuckle! How dare he after he so ruthlessly voted off their boy! (Nevermind the part where they planned it.)

• When Noah is in charge and directing people in view of the cast, Chris makes sure Alejandro somehow gets water dumped on him or tripped or something because he does not like the look in that boy's eyes as he ogled at Noah.

• Alejandro and Noah were getting closer, and once it was the wedding challenge and Alejandro asked Chris if he could switch Heather for Noah, Chef and Chris nearly threw him off the cliff. Noah had blushed

• Thus, the China challenge happened. It was supposed to be something different, but Chef had recalled how Alejandro had gagged when he ate his Candy Fishtails, so he convinced his husband to do a food competition. Chris was all for it! (No Chef helping Blainley cheat in this au)

The two watched how grossed out Alejandro was for the entire challenge back in their room and laughed maniacally.

• Chris and Chef ban Noah from appearing anywhere near the Rapa Nui challenge, given he's a freaking Disney princess, and the condors would probably mistake him as their chick and kidnap him.

• They somewhat accept Alejandro after the boy protected Noah from the plane explosion since Chris and Chef weren't close enough to do so themselves.

30 Things I Learned As An Adult

In honor of me turning 30 in January, I’ve decided to write out a list of 30 things I learned as an adult.  Now, some of these worked for me through trial and error, while others did not.

1. Self Care Is Important

I cannot stress this enough.  We all need to practice self care, to take time for ourselves.  It takes baby steps to find a good self-care routine, and there’s plenty of online resources to find one to your tastes.  Remember it is all about trial and error, and don’t worry about perfecting it right away.  Research some different self care routines online as a starting point.

2. Read Books, Not Fanfiction

Okay, don’t get me wrong, I do love reading some good ole fanfiction, and current events.  However, definitely pick up a book once in a while.  Whether it’s a graphic novel, comics, manga, please develop a reading habit.  It definitely helped me out a lot as a former college dropout, there are reading lists on sites like Goodreads, here on Tumblr, even colleges have lists what books students are required to read.  And it does help with expanding your knowledge and vocabulary.  As I’ve previously said, I’m a former college dropout who’s currently back in school, however, developing a healthy reading habit is what kept me grounded.  If you need a starting point, I recommend reading a fiction book, preferably in the SciFi/Fantasy genre; or reread a book from your childhood.  Also, PLEASE GET A LIBRARY CARD!  You’ll definitely be saving a lot of money, and we need to support our public libraries now more than ever.

3. Say “No” More Often

If you don’t feel comfortable going out, or if your manager calls and asks to cover a shift, just say “no.”  Remember, you have the power to set boundaries, especially with family, friends, and work.  This correlates to number 1 on my list, self care is super important, and you cannot put your health at risk for anyone.  I’m going to repeat that last part: SELF CARE IS SUPER IMPORTANT, AND YOU CANNOT PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK FOR ANYONE!

4. Register To Vote, And Vote In Every Election

With politics being so polarized and divisive in the past decade, and the upcoming 2024 US Presidential Election, please register to vote.  And voter suppression has been very rampant in the past two, arguably three, decades.  To anyone about to turn 18 here in the US, please register to vote ASAP!  And vote in every goddamn election, both national and local.  I seriously cannot stress this enough.

5. Eat Healthy, No Seriously

I love some fast food once in a while now, however, please take some time to learn about healthy eating.  It will catch up with you in the future, and our US healthcare system is already fucked as all hell.  I know the rising costs of everything, including food, is insane right now; but please keep informed about how to prepare good healthy food.

6. Take Breaks From Current Events, Social Media, and the Internet

This also correlates with number one.  While it is very important to stay informed with what is happening in the world/country of origin; especially with the US Presidential Election year.  Remember, it’s okay to take breaks from reading too much news, and scrolling through social media feeds.  It really does have an effect on your mental health, and unfortunately too many people tend to fall down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole on all sides of the political spectrum.  To the teenagers and young adults, take breaks and focus on your mental health and well-being.  To the adults, read the previous sentence.  With everything so polarizing, take care of yourself first.  

7. High School Friends DO NOT LAST!

My friends from high school and early college years were definitely the “ride and die” type of  friends, metaphorically speaking.  If you have that one friend who was/is the “give the shirt off their back” type, check in on them once in a while.  However, with the former, just move on.  The friends I had in high school definitely had a lot of childhood trauma, and in one aspect, I’m glad that they were honest about it; it was/is a way to heal.  However, any “friend” who just doesn’t want to better themselves and use you for any convenience, DUMP THEM AND CUT OFF ALL CONTACT!  Remember just as you set boundaries with your toxic family members, and even for your job, you should do the same with friends.

8. Change Jobs, ASAP!

This is a very important one.  I didn’t really have a job as a teenager, I wanted to enjoy being a kid for a little longer, however, I did have an occasional babysitting job.  At 23 years old, I got a job at a fast food place.  While I do appreciate part of the experience, like how to use the “customer service” voice, however, any red flags that pop up in your head, change jobs, ASAP!  It was toxic, too political (for some weird reason) and a lot of drama (and not from the teenagers).  The grocery store I work at now does have its busy times, however, it’s much more calmer, and I don’t see too many “Karen” types. 

9. Declutter More Often

This is also a definite must as you get older.  Whatever you don’t need anymore, donate them.  Whatever is completely broken, throw it away!  Whatever it is that is in good condition, sell it or maybe give it to someone as a birthday/holiday present.  Any old makeup, throw it away!  It’ll help reduce the amount of clutter and mess.  If you need a starting point, I suggest the KonMari method.  It really did help me out a lot.

10.  Use A Planner

This is a life-and-time saver.  Write down any appointments, cleaning days, paydays, bill charges, etc.; into a physical planner.  If you’re in college, please use one!  And write down any assignments to work on/turn in BEFORE the deadline.  Also, anything important, put into your calendar app on your phone and laptop as a reminder.

11.  Have A Skin Care Routine

Okay, I know having a skin care routine isn’t for everyone, and we all have different reactions to skin care products; however, don’t be afraid to experiment with a good skin care routine.  In my early teen years, I used Proactiv skin care for my acne, and it helped out a lot.  Remember: cleanse, tone, any serum of your choice, and moisturize.  This also helps out if you don’t feel like jumping into the shower.  Also, use sunscreen, seriously.

12.  Don’t Get Married, Until You’re Ready

This is coming from someone who is single, lol.  If you plan on getting married to your romantic partner, I’m proud of you! Marriage is about communication, being honest, and doing equal amount of work (finances, household chores, etc.)  Save money if you’re planning for a wedding, or go to your local courthouse to get a marriage license if you don’t want the big, fancy reception.  

13.  Don’t Have Kids, Until You’re Ready

Again, this is coming from someone who is single and childless, lol.  Having kids is a lot of work: physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially.  Not everyone is capable of being a parent, and I have read PLENTY of posts on here and other websites about toxic parents/parenting styles.  Take time and think about if you’re ready to become a parent.

14.  Learn How To Budget Your Money

This is for anyone of any age out there.  Please learn how to budget your spending.  Look for stuff on sale or clearance, or cut back on certain types of spending. I know most people have no idea where to start, but there is! There’s some great websites and YouTube channels on how to budget your money. Another great tool to use are spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. I use a Google Sheet template to help track my spending and budget my finances. Also, if you have gift cards from your birthday/holidays/etc; definitely use them, you won't be breaking your bank account :). Also, definitely have some paper cash in your wallet for emergency use.     

15.  Open A Savings/Emergency Funds Account, ASAP!

This is a huge one to have as an adult, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Anything left over from paying the bills, from a side hustle, or from your tax returns, put that into savings.  Certain banks will also have the option of creating “financial goals” in savings accounts; so I highly recommend using that as well.  This also correlates with number 14.  If you’re interested, open two or three savings accounts, the last one should only be for emergency funds.

16.  Get A Physical Hobby, AKA Exercise!

It doesn’t matter what type of exercise you do, please do it!  And for anyone who is physically disabled, there are modified options provided on YouTube.  We do lose certain motor functions as we age, so definitely pick an exercise that’s right for you, as they say. Even if it's just going outside for a walk for 30 minutes, please do some type of exercise.   

17.  Learn How To Meal Prep

It doesn’t have to be for every meal of every day, pick a meal you want to make and prepare ahead of time.  And prepare that meal the day before, so it will be on hand when you leave your house. There are some great videos on YouTube, and some ideas from Pinterest if you need a starting point.

18.  If You’re Able To, Go To The Dentist!

Seriously though, try and go for a checkup/teeth cleaning.  You’re only given one set of teeth after all your baby teeth fall out, and you need to take good care of them.  If you’re able to, or live near to one, local colleges have free cleanings through their dental training programs.   

19.  If Your Job Offers a 401K, GET ON IT NOW!

My old job at a fast food restaurant didn’t have retirement benefits, but my current grocery store job does.  I jumped on it right away, even if it’s not the job I want right now.  And it’s a good starting point to have some money saved up for retirement. If you leave the job that has a 401k, you can do what's called a rollover. This will put the money that was set into the first retirement fund into another one; you can do this with your bank or if your new job has a 401k.

20.  If You Don’t Have Health Insurance, Sign Up With The State, or Through Your Job.

In my experience, I have insurance through the state at the moment.  If your job offers health insurance as well, jump on it right away, even if it’s not the job you want, it’ll be a starting point that correlates with number 19.

21.  It’s Okay To Not Go To College

This is coming from someone who was a college dropout at 19, and currently back in school.  If you don’t feel ready to go to college, that’s okay too.  College is very expensive, especially here in the US, and not everyone can get a scholarship, even if they did apply for a lot of them.  Maybe get a part-time job or two (for some income), explore some hobbies you enjoy, and take some time to think about some goals.     

22. If You’re In College, It’s Okay To Stay At Home

Again, coming from a former college dropout, I stayed at home while attending a nearby community college in another state.  However, out-of-state tuition and housing is also very expensive.  If you have a good relationship with your parents, and if you’re going to school in-state, talk to them about staying home while going to school.  If you don’t, then talk to a trusted friend or family member about getting an apartment together that isn’t on-site housing while you’re attending school.

23. Watch Non-English Language Movies

If you’re a movie lover like me, take some time to watch some foreign language films once in a while; and I know we anime fans do, lol.  To be honest, it does get very boring watching English language films all the time, whether from the States, England, or Canada.  Watching foreign language movies will definitely help you to understand the world a lot better, if you don’t have the means for traveling yet; and they will help you to understand that no matter where we live, we all have similar issues, hopes, dreams, etc.  If you need a starting point, I recommend any of the Studio Ghibli movies, I would start with Kiki’s Delivery Service; or Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth.  

24. SET BOUNDARIES

Remember: toxic family members and friends are not worth it.  You are worthy and valid for love and respect.  This correlates to number 7.  This is also very useful in the workplace.  

25. Express Yourself Through Fashion

Like everyone else, I feel most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt myself; however sometimes I like to dress up just for fun, or to build up my self esteem and image.  This also helps when learning to pair an accessory with an outfit.  Play around with different color palettes and clothing styles, and find the one you feel the most “you.”  For example, I’ve always looked my best in jewel tones and a cooler color palette.  Read some fashion articles or watch some YouTube videos about how to pick out an outfit.

26. It Is Not Selfish To Prioritize Yourself

This correlates with number 3.  I have noticed it’s mostly a Western/American/Christian culture norm, we’re always told to take care of others before taking care of ourselves; or we’re selfish for prioritizing ourselves over others. It is not selfish, it is part of self care. Again, this is tied in with number 24.

27.   Failing and Making Mistakes Is Part of Growing

There is so much societal pressure on trying to be successful in life and work, especially in the Western/American hemisphere. However, making mistakes and failing at something is part of growing, and learning as an individual.

28. It's Okay to Not Have a Label to Define Yourself

Hear me out. I understand the use of labels in society and culture in general; everyone wants to belong somewhere and feel accepted. However, it is okay to not have a label to define who you are, and who you want/choose to be. Take all the time you need to figure out what's best for you. And sometimes people don't realize a label will fit them until they are much older in life. Or they couldn't at the time.

29. Don't Compare, You'll Get There

We are human, and we all have the tendency to compare ourselves to others. Unfortunately, this doesn't end after high school and college. And that needs to seriously change, especially in the Western/American hemisphere. Simply writing down "don't compare, you'll get there" is a great reminder to have for yourself. Everyone learns and grows at their own pace.

30. It Really Is The Little Things That Keep Us Going

When life seems to get too hard, it really is the little things that keep us going. Whether it is something as simple as someone holding a door open for you, or someone complimenting* you on your outfit or your work ethic; those moments are the ones that matter the most. Remember those moments, hold on to them.

[bt-tarot]

Please can you tell us sunghoon Enhypens ideal type based on tarot?💟

Hi! Yes, I can💖✨ This is a long long one, tho.

The Tower, The Emperor, Six of Swords, The Devil Bottom of the deck: Nine of Wands Rev.

His ideal type is someone who he can build an empire with. Someone who's not afraid to question their own believes and help him learn and build new foundations. He likes people he know he can trust and with whom he talk about deep difficult topics. Someone that doesn't mind taboo topics and is open minded.

He is probably very philosophical and likes to keep his mind occupied, so someone who he can share deep thoughts with is very welcome. Or maybe he doesn't like letting his mind wander because he can get too deep in his thoughts, in that case, someone that can comfort him in those moments and is not scared of those deep conversations.

In that sense, I see that he would like someone that is conscious about other people's shadow traits and knows the dark side of the world, but even knowing that, they manage to keep finding meaning, a purpose, and be optimistic. Does that make sense? It does to me. Also someone playful who he can have lighthearted conversations with and knows how to brighten the mood in a room.

He likes people who seem cautious and don't get manipulated easily. Someone structured, strong willed and leader material. He likes propositional people that has lots of ideas and the initiative to make them happen. Someone who isn't stagnant and who's mind is always expanding, that wants to keep learning and move forward. Someone who looks free and adventurous but is also grounded would get his attention. Maybe a person who likes to travel a lot and wants to know different cultures with him. I'm getting Up (2009) the pixar film ;;♡.

Someone who likes the good things in life, that may be maximalist and prone to excess but manages to keep their desires in control. Also a person that works hard and is very ambitious not in an bad way. I'm getting someone who no matter how difficult the path is, this person is always pushing forward. This may lead them to burn out or feel exhausted, but he values that hard work and he would be happy to help them rest and comfort them. Someone passionate about their dreams and who has clear goals would definitely win his heart.♠

✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦

Phew... He really wanted to talk a lot again and I had to rearrange the paragraphs because he just threw all the info like "there you go, organize it".

But I'm glad he feels comfortable, his energy is very friendly ✨

I got a lot of asks about this since I did his reading as a boyfriend, but now you know why I took too long :')

Thank you for asking! 🦇 ♡

Chained Truths by @mirensiart

Adventure Fantasy | General | Tumblr | Ongoing

Synopsis: Zelda (granddaughter of spirit tracks!zelink) is framed for the murder of the king, she manages to escape castle town just for a huge bounty to be placed on her head, she is wanted DEAD or ALIVE Link, a bounty hunter who only takes "wanted: alive" jobs, stumbles upon Zelda and catches her. Link uses a magical item in the form of a chain to catch criminals, and thus chains himself to Zelda so he can bring her to justice. Zelda manages to convince him to help her out by offering double the Bounty on her head if he does (and they're successful) Link who's desperate for money to support his family, reluctantly agrees to help her find the truth behind her father's murder. However, when he's about to unchain them, he finds out the magic key he used to lock the chain is missing, they're now stuck to each other until the key is found or they find another way to unlock their shackles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chained Truths is a very fun and silly concept. It does have its moments for potential somber situations. Either way I eat any content for Key & Chain right up! They are such fun and good looking takes on Zelda & Link and I'm always glad to learn more abour them. Chained Truths has a lot more it can get up to and I'm looking forward to see whatever else these two dorks and maybe even other characters will get into! - SpicyMcBean

Key and Chain are lovely characters who caught my eye as soon as I saw them for the first time! Their designs are eye catching and unique, while still easily being identifiable as “Zelda and Link.” The parts of the story that can be found in the archive are also super captivating! I’m in love with the magic chain idea, and the “ENDGAME” post blew me away. The comment about their names especially hit me in the feels. There’s a lot of passion behind this AU and I’m always excited to see it cross my Tumblr dash. - twist-dg

I'm adoring this series so far! The main duo are so much fun, the tension and comedic charm of them both is just overwhelmingly fantastic. This world expanding is definitely one you should keep an eye on. - amelias-hart

Hi im so glad I found someone still writes for hunter😭Could you do a hunter x goth reader or if you don’t feel like writing that I will take any hunter content literally😭❤️‍🩹

JSJSHSJS YES OKAY IM GONNA DO HEADCANONS JUST CUZ I DONT FEEL LIKE WRITING A LONG THING

Hunter Sylvester x Goth reader Headcanons

No warnings aside from being cringe and not proofread🙏 mostly gn!

⚠️ I AM NOT A GOTH PERSON so please feel free to let me know if I get anything wrong😭

Have fun reading

At first he really doesn’t like goth music 😭

He says it’s not metal enough for him or something

He learns to accept your music taste, knowing he’s not gonna change anything

He does try to get you to expand your music taste a bit

(By giving you metal recommendations)

IMAGINE GOING OUT IN FULL TRAD GOTH WHILE HE DOES CORPSE PAINT AWW

Lowkey he would to do corpse paint on you, and he would maybe be willing to let you do trad goth on him in return

He’s not a fan of the style himself, but he thinks you look absolutely freaking majestic

You always catch him staring at you or watching you do makeup

He shows you off to all his (3) friends for sure

“This is my amazing gf/bf 💪”

He will learn about the subcultures and stuff just for you

On the days you don’t do full read goth and just do like regular eyeliner or something, he’ll be all goofy like “who the fuck is this chick😦”

Shit bro he will buy you whatever clothes and accessories you want (with his dads card duh)

He will also (try to) help you do your hair

He doesn’t have any “goth” clothes, seeing as he’s a metalhead, but same goes for my last set of Hunter hcs, he will give you his hoodies and maybe his band shirts if you wanted

Painting each others nails🫶

He’s not good at it but damn right he’s gonna try

I just KNOW if you painted his nails he’d fuck it up instantly. Like it’ll still be drying and he’ll already smudge it in like 5 minutes

If you dye your hair, (light haired alternative people know😔) he will probably try to help

He has really low patience with it tho

If you have really thick or long hair he will straight up just give up

Idk how many times I’ve said it but he WILL try to learn your favourite songs on guitar

Back at it with the “serenading” thing but it’s just him flexing his skills

When ur not around he will try on your jewelry just to see how it looks

Will steal your rings if they fit him

Same thing with earrings

I’m like 90% sure he canonically has his ears pierced so if you have nice earrings he will take them and wear them with pride

I am not goth, once again. But I am some kind of alternative, and I know that a lot of these people have like spikes that they put on clothes and stuff

So he would definitely want you to do that with some of his stuff

That’s all I can think of for now 😇 keep them coming guys

[llamagoddessofficial]

how would the normal boyo's react to mc's death?

no murder, nothing crazy, just old age taking away the love of their lives.

and for bonus points lets say they had been happily married for decades as to add on the memories and the sudden shock of losing someone that had become such a key factor in your life.

I think I've mentioned this before, but it doesn't hurt to bring it up again. Aggre Mc is going to live a lot longer than she expected. Even with absolutely no intervention, thanks to her connection with the guys, her Soul has three major sources of magic nearby that instinctively constantly share their power with hers. It will probably expand her lifetime by a century, minimum. Her big issue isn't going to be dying; it's going to be dealing with the implications of living so much longer than she thought she would.

There's also the topic of a Soul bond. If she Soul bonds with any of the three of them, and doesn't have kids, she's pretty much going to live as a monster does (forever, unless interrupted). In Aggre, they definitely discuss the subject of her possible death eventually- and my personal canon post-Aggre is that after settling into a rhythm and spending a few decades together, when Mc decides she wants to Soul bond, the boys elect Sans to be the one she bonds with. She'd then live with them like that.

But... in a hypothetical scenario, where Mc resists everything and dies... I think this is how it would go. Obviously, angst and death under the cut.

Sans: Honestly, Sans takes her approaching death the best. Which should really worry you about how the other two would react. Does he fall apart? Absolutely, the last time he felt this kind of agony was when he lost his mother. But Sans has always been good at disguising his emotions, hiding tremendous pain under an easygoing exterior. He keeps up with the dishes, organises her end of life care, keeps contact with his friends. Papyrus would be the only one to see even a fraction of the true extent of Sans' grief. Sans is about to lose the love of his life, and has completely frozen over to avoid crumbling.

Red: He definitely takes it better than you'd expect, considering he'd have a mended relationship with his brother. But it still hits. It's cruel that the universe sent him someone who taught him how to let himself feel, then took that person away and delivered the worst pain he's ever felt.

Mc would be proud of him, though. Despite the pain, he avoids falling back into the worst of his old addictions, because he knows its not what she would want and it won't actually make the pain go away. It will just numb him to everything; including those who are trying to help. He picks up smoking again in the days leading up to her death, but he avoids the bottle.

Skull: It's hard, for him. It's really hard.

All of them knew it would be particularly difficult for Skull. They had a long time to discuss it- a long time to talk the subject over. Mc prepared stuff for him, for after she's gone... people to talk to, things of hers to hold when it hurts, exercises for him to hopefully learn to deal with it. For a while, everyone was convinced Skull was ready. Even Skull.

... But he just... he just can't do it. He can't do it. He can't let her go. It doesn't matter how many hours she spent holding his hands, how hard they all believed he'd be fine without her- it doesn't matter how much he healed by her side and how well adjusted he seems now. The moment he realises she's really genuinely dying, the journey ahead of him looks so impossibly dark, so frightening. He holds her as she's dying and he feels so small. He cries like a baby and begs her not to leave him behind.

The moment she dies, he catches her Soul. He holds it in his hands, hushing it like a scared bird and tucking it away into his chest, where he can keep her alive. Honestly, they'd have to cut him open if they wanted to let her pass on.

... But I think at that point, Red and Sans aren't exactly fighting to make him let go. In fact... something unspoken passes between the three of them. Skull just did what all of them wanted to do.

Skull gives her to Sans, who keeps her hidden away, within his own Soul. Her Soul knows his best, and will feel most comfortable there long-term.

They'll figure out something. They have all the time in the world.

this for txt plssssss

Was waiting for someone to ask for my other faves. Let's do this!

Disclaimer: No facts, all alleged. I am reading sexual energy here and it helps understand who they are as a person. Now, I am going to expand on this question and ask about their sexual energy. Now, sexual energy can be about matters of sex, but it can also be harnessed into creative projects as well and extended to other areas of our lives. Now, I do not see the act of sex as dirty, perverted like some of ya’ll do, it is a beautiful act, if done right, between two people. How one approaches sex connects to their past, their upbringing, aspects of themselves, and any healing that may need to be done, so I wanted to answer this question to see where they fall in that spectrum. This energy can be used for their creative work as an idol as well. The reading will go into both aspects. This will be listed in the order of the question that was asked to the best I can by their sexual energy.

I will keep them by age order, kind of hard for me to go from MTL, all seemed to have good qualities, they were my favorite so far when it comes to sexual energy.

Yeonjun (The Fool/8 of Cups/Knight of Wands)

He gave me a lot of cards besides the three I highlighted. He has his ups and down. I can see a bit of inexperience, maybe that may have disappointed partners, but he also has a carefree mindset, open and willing to try new things and maybe learn. He may also lack emotional connection when it comes to sex, or maybe he gets bored and needs some new excitement. So, I can see him getting bored with partner after a while. It gets stale for him, and he needs something new. So, boy can be a fuckboy. I mean the Knight of Wands is my fuck boy card. Pretty much in it for sex, not really into it emotionally, or cares about an emotional connection. He also gave me the 5 of wands and swords, so he likes a bit of banter, a bit of back and forth, maybe likes both to dirty talk and do that stuff. He gave me the Sun too, he definitely enjoys the act and does have fun, and has a playful approach to it, lastly Queen of Swords, I see him liking woman that are a bit cold, not emotionally available, and he may like them to communicate to him, maybe what they like or don't like. I just heard talk dirty to me lol Boy is a freak, okay, moving on. I love him. I think he would be pretty good in bed from what I got here. But don't expect any emotional connection. Now, how this play with his creative pursuits, I see him pursuing things of passion, but he struggles to emotionally connect with his work, and can get bored with that he gets.

Soobin (2 of Cups/9 of Swords/3 of Pentacles)

He's cute! He would be the one that likes an emotional connection, so sex would be with someone he loves. He wants to be a sweet and intimate act. Like two souls coming together. So, I don't see him hooking up, not his style. He rather be in a committed relationship. I do sex can be a bit stressful for him, and he may overthink things, like maybe if he does things right, or put pressure on himself. So, yeah, he may have to be very comfortable with the person he sleeps with. This is more about an emotional connection, than just having sex just to do it. He doesn't seem like the type that is horny all that much, unlike the Yeonjun lol He would want it to be a collaborative effort. I don't see him being a Sub or Dom, they both play a role when it comes to the act of sex, working together to reach the goal they want. When it comes to his creative projects, he seems like a team player, he may even work better in a team, rather than be solo, but he does get stressed out about things, so yeah, overall he seems nice and willing to work with his partner and emotionally connect to create a good time for both of them.

Beomgyu (8 of Pentacles/9 of Swords/The Magician)

Not what I expected, now with that Magician card he seems confident in his abilities, this can show someone who is skilled and good at what he does. I can see this as him being able to adapt to whomever he is sleeping with, maybe he can be more passionate, emotional, or communicate more to whatever fits that person's personality. It seems he can do it all. He is a multi-facet person in bed. I see him being a bit of a perfectionist, or very detailed about things. He may like things to be messy, maybe prefers to take his time. I thought he was rougher and faster, so this surprises me, okay. I see him being into cuddling too, or spooning afterwards. I see him wanting the person to be comfortable as well. I can see him stressing about things, maybe stressing about if he is doing things wrong or right, way in his head, and overthinking things as well. He may tend to overthink things when it comes to sex. I can also see him wanting to try new things and experiment as well. So, when it comes to his creative projects, I see someone multi-facet and talented, he has many gifts, skills and talents to showcase. But I also see this perfectionist mindset and stressing himself out, because things aren't going as good as planned, that can play into sex as well.

Taehyun (7 of Pentacles/Ace of Pentacles/Page of Swords)

Another one who gave me a lot. Let's start with the three I wrote above. Hmm, he seems more practical when it comes to sex. I don't know what to make of this one. He seems supportive of his partner, will probably take his time and be slow and gentle, tending to the needs of his partner. He isn't giving me much passion, so not seeing much of that with sex with him. He is slower and more precise with things. He doesn't seem like a horny dude, or someone who always needs to have sex. He may be someone who struggles to communicate his needs. He may just try to please his partner. But he also gave me the King of Swords, I see this as him being someone who plans and strategizes things. He is clear on what he wants to do. But then he got the King of Cups, he is emotionally stable and calm, so he would be a solid source of comfort for his partner during sex. Taking the lead with things. I do see some inexperience with him when it comes to sex, with this page, or a timidness to him. But overall, he is pretty mature about how to handle sex with someone. How this spills to his creative project. He tends to be more practical, may play it safe with things, this spills into the bedroom, don't see him being that spontaneous or experimental. He may even possibly be boring a bit. So, if you are into passionate/fun sex he isn't the one for you. It is like he has a plan in his head of how things will go and that is how it goes lol So, he can also be that way creatively wise.

Hueningkai (The Magician/Wheel of Fortune/Knight of Cups)

I see him being a huge flirt. I can also see him being someone multi-facet and capable of experimenting and trying new things. I can see him being into hook-ups and flirting his way to someone's bed, he just has that charm and pull about him. There is something here about timing, maybe he has a timetable of how long it should last, I don't know. He isn't giving me much else, so pulled some other cards, got the empress, so he may like older females, I think I got that before, although he gave me, he was into men, but I see him liking older woman, not sure he got a pregnancy kink, or someone with motherly energy he likes, maybe someone who will nurture and take care of him during sex, and he also gave me the 2 of cups, so he would like an emotional connection, to feel loved during sex, so he is giving me strong sub energy here. And someone to take care of him. So, when it comes to his creative work, he is a very creative and spontaneous person when it comes to his work. I see him as someone who follows his heart and likes to be emotionally connected to his work. I see him thinking time is ticking, does he want to have kids soon? Because with this Empress energy, I don't know, he might, he never gave me someone who wants kids. Anyway, he was hard to understand lol I am done trying to understand this.

A few weeks back, I made a comment to the effect of, "Belos views himself as the single human character in a muppets production." It has since then spiraled into an entire AU in my head that refuses to leave me alone. A few weeks back, I made a comment to the effect of, "Belos views himself as the single human character in a muppets production." It has since then spiraled into an entire AU in my head that refuses to leave me alone.

The basic premise:

Caleb and Evelyn found a weekly children's program ("The Boiling Isles") that features puppets; little Philip is featured as the one human, and since the episodes with him do much better than the ones without, he grows up into the role and eventually becomes a big part of the production staff as well

When Caleb and Evelyn die in an accident, Philip inherits the show

Some of the main (puppet) characters are named Luzura, Willow, Amity, and Augustus (you can see where I'm going with this). Philip would be able to stand these puppets on their own BUT

In promotional materials and interviews, he is ALWAYS asked what it's like to "work with" Luzura/Willow/Amity/Gus. Philip is absolutely INFURIATED by this because they're PUPPETS why can't anybody see that they're PUPPETS don't you care about the STAFF or the ARTISTS or the LIGHTING MANAGERS why does everybody pretend that the PUPPETS are REAL PEOPLE and why does HE have to pretend that the PUPPETS are when he responds??? He's convinced that some of the interviewers genuinely believe that the puppets are alive and tries to patiently explain that, no, they are just puppets. The interviewers always refuse to break the immersion.

Expanded AU thoughts are under the cut.

Caleb and Evelyn meet at an arts college. Evelyn is a film student, and the show's prototype is her capstone project. Caleb offers to bring Philip in as an actor and it sticks. Caleb also helps make some of the first puppets.

Little Philip's identity is protected by 1) the presence of a mask, and 2) the stage name "Belos". The name sticks around for his on-screen appearances.

While sticking around the set, Philip learns a lot about the different areas of production. He especially likes building sets, backdrops, props, and puppets, though he finds the writing process interesting as well. When he's old enough to help out with paperwork, he takes over the logistical side of things because tbh both Caleb and Evelyn are helpless when it comes to that

By the time Philip takes over, he's basically the head supervisor of every single department. His management makes the show's popularity explode

Philip is definitely the best at building and controlling puppets. Every now and then, he makes an extra-large "final boss" sort of puppet that only he is physically capable of controlling, and some of them end up in museums

Philip raises Hunter, but he's sort of the neglectful sort. He's ultra-focused on keeping the show his brother put so much thought, effort, and love into alive, and it makes literally any semblance of life he might have had outside of the show suffer

Similarly to Philip, Hunter grows up on set, but not as an actor. The production staff looks after him. When he's old enough, he also becomes a part of the test audience

The production staff is composed of the Emperor's Coven members in canon; i.e. Darius is in charge of lighting and wires, Raine is the sound director, Eberwolf is the lead puppet master, Hettie is the on-site medic, etc.

Luz and Camila are also a part of the test audience. I'm going to pretend that Philip and Camila are good buds in this AU. Philip inserts Luzura into the show as a character based on Luz

Basically most of the ire that Philip has in this AU is directed toward the puppets because they're not REAL why are THEY getting the GLORY can we PLEASE not pretend that these PUPPETS have thoughts and feelings and personalities???

He also doesn't leave because 1) the aforementioned attachment to something Caleb loved so much, and 2) he's put too much effort into this show already and he knows that no replacement could ever be so proficient at his job

Let's be real, Philip's work ethic is super unsustainable, and it DEFINITELY keeps him from grieving properly

When Hunter reveals that he does not, in fact, want to inherit the company that Philip has built, it's CRUSHING to Philip, who feels like giving it up would be disrespecting Caleb's legacy, unaware that he's staring Caleb's legacy in the face

Ideally Philip's arc (which I have hardly described here) would end with wealthy retirement and him being able to say "goodbye Boiling Isles" and never having to appear alongside those godforsaken puppets ever again

Okay so here's the questions I answered, my family had a few other questions that I don't remember. I don't know if this will apply to you since my family is pretty supportive and ik you said yours isn't. (I've been putting off coming out to my dad for the same reason tbh, I don't really know what I'm going to do about that.) First part I listed my new name and pronouns, and offered a nickname too since I know people tend to make those up and I wanted to have control over it too. Second part I listed out my general plan for transitioning, not going into detail about like surgeries and stuff but generally mentioning like what HRT I want and what kind of doctors I would have to go through to get stuff like that. Third part I listed out questions I figured they'd have, you don't have to use all or any of these but my family appreciated them: - How long have you known? (Meaning when did you start feeling dysphoric, is how I took the question, but you can also answer with how long you've known your specific identity. This one tripped me up when I first transitioned but I think that's because I might be autistic and I took it way too literally.) - Are you going to change how you dress/act/etc.? (I added this question since I dress femininely and behave strangely due to neurodivergence and was worried they'd expect me to change drastically, but I think that was just me being paranoid and too involved in online discourse lol) - Why do you use (Pronouns Here)? (I added this question since I use it/it's and people get confused about that, but you can talk about how you feel about using any pronouns tbh.) - Were there signs when you were a kid? (I added this one since it's pretty common for people to say they've had signs as a kid, and also people sometimes blame themselves for missing them.) - Who can we tell? (Basically who do you feel safe knowing you are trans. Like cousins, siblings, etc.) - How do you want us to talk about your past self? (Since I changed pronouns I added this, but since you use any pronouns this might not apply lol) - What exactly does HRT/your transition entail? (Just expanding on the second part about the plan, going into specifics the path of HRT I want to take. Gel vs injection vs other methods, basically. Bringing up the possibility of surgeries but not specifically mentioning what or when since that can be a lot to take in.) - Are you okay? Is there anything you need us to do? (Basically reassuring them that this is good for your mental health and such, mentioning any changes they can make that would affirm you.) - What are your goals, what do you look to get out of transitioning? (Just mentioning like specific changes you look forward to. Keeping things focused on the positive and not the negative. I particularly wanted to emphasize the positive since most people only think of the negative parts of being trans, like dysphoria etc.) - Why now? (Basically clarifying why you didn't come out sooner. Try to frame this not in a way that places blame on them or anything. I pretty much said "It was probably a combination of anxiety, not wanting to be misunderstood, and the fact that I have only really recently been getting better at realizing that I can actually make changes that I want with my life.") - How do you want us to refer to you in public / with strangers? (Pretty much what it says in the question, do you want them to use your pronouns in all situations?) Then I added a sort of resources section. Listing some good youtubers to learn more about being trans, some guides from PFLAG (Guide 1 and Guide 2), and a thesaurus section with general definitions of words they might see if they try to do their own research. (Basically trying to keep them from misunderstanding stuff or falling for misinformation LOL)

...And then since I'm kinda goofy, I added a memes page. I'm not sure how much this will help you. I got most of the questions from people I asked on my tumblr so I am just passing along the info. @transfemme-shelterdog helped me out a lot tbh so she probably knows if I'm missing anything!! My family had like two other questions I don't remember. I think they asked if I wanted them to send this to my other siblings, and something else I can't think of. Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for LOL, hopefully it can at least give you a jumping off point to start your own letter. Oh jeez. that was long. XD

WOAH this is so good??? and thank you for sending this in an ask so hopefully anybody else looking for coming out advice can find this bc this is super helpful!! thank you so much!!

This Is What Happens When You Leave Two Crackshippers Starving and High on Copium

Summay:

Basically a brainstorming session between me and my friend that took a straight nosedive into complete lunacy that all began with a "Hey! Why don't we just give Wei Wuxian a high school reverse-harem AU? Wouldn't that be hilarious?!"

This was essentially the very first WWX-centric reverse-harem AU Heiyu (who you'll find on AO3) and I ever discussed. After checking the word count of that WHOLE freakin’ discussion, what led up to it and what conclusions were drawn, here are the results:

It had reached 6K+ words. We ended up crossing over with other danmei (TGCF, SVSSS and Word of Honor). The amount of pairings that would be produced if all the men in the harem decided to play human musical chairs would be 100+ pairings.

SO!!! Without further ado, I’m gonna go ahead and show anyone who's interested the whole discussion in its entirety, as well as the lore additions and you can all decide if you wanna pitch in, leave it be, or call Heiyu and I insane.

Here it is, the WWX-centric reverse-harem in Modern AU that nobody asked for!!! I hope you enjoy this!!!

Important Note: To anyone who's reading this thing, please bear in mind this is a DISCUSSION about a fic idea I had with a friend, Heiyu (also known as Jinyu). I just copy pasted our convo and you can see how that new verse expanded and was talked about. I briefly thought of writing an actual fic for this, but decided against it because it would just be so freakin' long!!! You'll understand what I mean in a minute.

Read at your own discretion, don't take it too seriously ('cause it's all crack anyways) and just have fun with the insane premise/pairings!!

((Discussion Start):

Sylvie-Laoshi: WWX is still learning the ‘quirks’ of each Calamity. 😆

Jinjin: He is new, he deserves some slack. 😌

Sylvie-Laoshi: My thoughts exactly. 🤣 Give him a break. He’s the equivalent of the new kid who transferred when the term was already half done. 🤭

Jinjin: Poor thing, it is good that the class president equivalent of the ghost realm is so inclined to help him! 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yes! 🤣🤣🤣……. If HC’s the class president, would that make HX the vice-president or the secretary? 🤔

Jinjin: Good question 🤔 HX is the secretary. Yin Yu is the vice president who actually does all the work 😜

Sylvie-Laoshi: Perfect. Absolutely perfect. 🤣🤣🤣 We all know Qi Rong will be the troublemaker/problem kid/head bully? And Bai Wuxiang? Maybe the boogie man? Like the school kid that mysteriously died in the bathroom? (I plan on having HC & HX stating that BWX is just a legend. No need to introduce him. 😑)

Jinjin: BWX can be the homeroom teacher? That is never seen?

Sylvie-Laoshi: I like where you’re going with this. 🤣 

Jinjin: And yes It is better if wwx stays away from BWX lest he gain an obsession for WWX too 😐

Sylvie-Laoshi: Uh huh. I can’t even IMAGINE how that would go. 🤢 What about Wen Qing and Wen Ning? The school nurse and the quiet kid in class? 🤔

Jinjin: If they are in high school then Wen Qing can be the member of the student council who is responsible for the maintenance of the infirmary (?) like an apprentice to the doctor or nurse there. Wen Ning is definitely the shy, bullied child in class

Sylvie-Laoshi: Not anymore he’s not! If the new kid, Wei Ying has anything to say about it! 🤣🤣🤣

Jinjin: Oh definitely!! WWX gained his bad boy reputation in this new school when he beat up the bullies and saved Wen Ning. What is the pairing here? Huaxian?

Sylvie-Laoshi: Why stop at HuaXian? 👀

Jinjin: Oh 👀…. How many in this harem?

Sylvie-Laoshi: It can be as many as you want! Provided that the ship doesn’t have fucking QR or JW in them. 🤢 Hua Cheng. He Xuan. Pei Ming. Xie Lian. Even Yin Yu (but secretly, because he’s too shy to acknowledge his own feelings)…..

Jinjin: Oho 👀…I see. Also, please keep wwx away from those two disasters 🤢 

Sylvie-Laoshi: We can even have characters from MDZS and SVSSS, if you want. I also wouldn’t mind adding other danmei if you’re up for it…. 👀

Jinjin: Like Wen Kexing…?

Sylvie-Laoshi: You knew where my mind was going!! 🤣🤣🤣 Would Wen Kexing be HC’s rival? 🤔 like originally WKX WANTED to be class president, but HC won by one vote?

Jinjin:That would be delicious!! I think at least from MDZS we can snag lwj, NMJ (?) Oh wait. we can make the Lan Bros actual twins who are in love with wwx 😆

Sylvie-Laoshi: YES!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If LWJ is in this AU, he’s gonna be competing with SO MANY strong opponents…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jinjin: Wait wait!! Factions within the student council!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: YES! Who’s on whose side/group/clique?! 🤔

Jinjin: Well all the above mentioned are already in the harem so....... I guess that work can be left to the NPCs?

Sylvie-Laoshi: No arguments here. The rest of the background characters can take care of the school. I’m just here for the drama! ☺️

Jinjin: Me too 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: We didn’t even mention the SVSSS characters!

Jinjin: Wait, who is nominated from svsss for the harem 👀

Sylvie-Laoshi: The Shen twins (Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan), identical twins, but people COULD tell them apart once you start talking to them. Shen Yuan is a lovable goof who’s waaaaaay into critiquing romance novels, while Shen Jiu’s the school Ice Queen who’s a bit of a fashionista. (But nobody says that to his face).

Jinjin: Oh… I....... I can't convey my excitement right now 😵‍💫😖😍 Two pair twins!!!! These two definitely!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: Also, LBH (without a doubt) the perfect straight A student AND Liu Qingge, the celebrity jock, whose a bit of a dum dum, because he fails to realize that there are girls (and guys) openly flirting with him, but he just thinks they’re being too nice.

Jinjin: I was going to add these two!! 😍 They needed to be there! Oh but we didn't decide what the characters of Tgcf harem members and MDZS harem members are. The shy nice baby -Wen Ning's friend- Xie Lian (?) HC and HX and YY are done.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yes. Absolutely. 💯 AGREED! I never thought of these two being friends, but that’s PERFECT! Alright! I already mentioned HC, HX, PM, SQX, YY and XL. 

As for the MDZS characters… LXC, LWJ, NMJ and maybe Meng Yao? He’s not gonna be a bad guy in this one. Soooo….. 🤷‍♀️

Jinjin: WN and XL would just ✨vibe✨ And yup, I don't have anything against Meng Yao until he turns into JGY

Sylvie-Laoshi: Pei Ming would be the most obvious about his liking for WWX. He’ll just openly flirt with him in front of THE WHOLE CLASS (he should be the school’s playboy) maybe do some cheesy wall-slams, buy WWX lunch, just doing the most, but WWX is sometimes denser than LQG at times.

Jinjin: 💯 Agreed!!!!! Also let's make wwx from a higher middle class family. Not the poor uke troupe please.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yup! Everyone here either came from New Money (HC, HX maybe PM and  Shen Twins too) or Old Money (XL, WN, SQX, the Lans and so on).

Jinjin: Agreed! Definitely!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: I always imagined WWX’s parents to be highly successful in (whatever) careers they have. So, DEFINITELY not from a poor background. But the whole cast is still ready to use their money to spoil WWX. 🤣🤣🤣

Jinjin: They are! 😂 And WWX in his head is like " guys I can buy my own lunch, you know that right? RIGHT?!!"

Sylvie-Laoshi: The whole freakin’ harem that WWX doesn’t know he has: “Of course we know! But we just reaaaaaallly feel like buying something for you today, okay?”

Jinjin: Think about so many people just floundering about school trying to catch a glimpse of wwx 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: This would spread to the rest of the student body like wildfire. Now WWX has the school newspaper trying to catch pictures of him/interview him. Asking him what’s his secret for catching so many fine specimens in the span of a few weeks. 🤣🤣🤣

Jinjin: Wwx in his interview, "I am so glad that I made so many friends so soon too! AND they are so caring!!" The student body reading this,"the ice queen? The disciplinarian? The president? The vice president? The demon lord? Where is the nice and kind aura here!!!!" 

Also! Also! We can divide the harem members in different classes! The mdzs in one, Tgcf in one and svsss in one! The other two classes are so jealous that wwx was assigned the mdzs class 😂. HC even tried to meddle with class allotment for wwx 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Ohhhhh! What if HC (since I’m a hardcore HuaXian shipper at heart) was the first one to fall for WWX? Poor WWX got lost on his way to school and ended up on the other side of the town he just moved to, HC sees a kid wearing the same school uniform as him and sees that the kid is going in the WRONG direction, so chooses to help him out. They talk on the way and he starts developing a crush during their long trek to the school. 😍

Jinjin: Done! This is what happened! Also cut the poor boy some slack! He is new to town! 🥺

Sylvie-Laoshi: Soooooo truuuuue! 

Wen Qing (the bff who’s watching this shit show): Wei Ying! You’re supposed to be smart! We’re in the 21st century. There’s NOTHING heteronormative about this!!!! Use your head for ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Jinjin: Wen Qing is tired ok!! She had to listen to no less than three people asking her if they were sick because their heart was beating faster than usual and it hurts sometimes!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: It was probably SJ, LWJ and XL. All three of them can be so oblivious to their own feelings sometimes. 🤣🤣🤣

Jinjin: Exactly my thought!! 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: She then gets a visit from LQG asking for the SAME EXACT thing. Wen Qing is about ready to explode. 😆 If Wen Qing finds out about Wen Ning’s crush on WWX, would she root for him, help him out or just goes ‘it’s your funeral, hun.’? 🤔🤔🤔

Jinjin: She wants to quit!! When she sees Wen Ning entering the infirmary she feels dread creeping up her spine and when Wen Ning asks the same thing "Not you too A-Ning!!!!" 

Poor Wen Ning was just here because he has actual heart problems. 😭 Why did jiejie shout? Wen Qing felt so guilty, she forgot for a second that her didi was actually sick 😞

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oh my gooooooood!!! What a great punchline!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jinjin: WQ roots for him definitely but this is without a doubt her first reaction~~

Sylvie-Laoshi: Undoubtedly. 🤭 What’s the story on how the rest of the harem fell for WWX? We already got HC covered. 🤔

Jinjin: XL definitely fell for WWX when he defended Wen Ning from the bullies, same for innocent WN. Lwj fell in love because wwx was breathing. LXC fell in love gradually when both of them enrolled for the wind instrument class. Which had devolved into duet sessions by the two of them…

Sylvie-Laoshi: I LOVE THIS! And it’s something that only the two of them (LXC & WWX) can share here! ❤️❤️❤️ What about WKX? 😏

I’m thinking that since WWX is well-read, they could have.. like a library meet-cute. WKX was practicing a recital for literature club, WWX walks by him and accidentally knocks over a bunch of books at the top shelf, causing an avalanche that would’ve fallen DIRECTLY on WWX’s head, WKX pushes him out of the way on time, and you get an accidental wall-slam moment with soul-gazing for a few seconds. Both of them are still processing what just happened.

Jinjin: WKX being the student head of the Library! Their sweet moments are all about books and that corner in the Library where the sunbeams hit just right in the evening giving it the warm, cosy feeling. (romantic too! Wwx just doesn't get this part🤭)

Sylvie-Laoshi: We’re gonna be stretching out the “he doesn’t know they’re in love with him” trope soooooooo much in this one. 🤣😭🤣😭🤣 

Jinjin: So true 😂 but it's so fun!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: Hmmm. What about the Shen Twins (specifically Shen Jiu) how would WWX manage to capture SJ’s icy-cold heart? 🤔🤔🤔

Jinjin: Let's take up the Fashionista troupe up 🤭 For a week straight wwx dresses so atrociously that SJ just goes up to him and " take my number, we are going to yours this evening you need some FASHION ADVICE for god's sake!!" (Wwx has nice clothes but not the sense of how to wear them and SJ is exasperated"

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oh my god. Yessss. And everyone in the harem interprets it as the Ice Queen finally making his move and decided to take their flirting up a notch. 🤣🤣🤣

And maybe Shen Yuan tags along for the SJ & WWX fashion show (since his poor twin doesn’t have any friends and he wants to encourage some kind of bond between his older brother and the new kid). He sees WWX’s book collection and just starts ranting over this book or that, WWX watches wide-eyed (for a guy who drops constant F-bombs, he gives some good critique!) and encourages Shen Yuan to keep going, following his advice on what to/and what NOT to read, while SJ’s brow’s twitching in irritation. Digging through WWX’s walk-in-closet for the best outfit combos.

Jinjin: SY and WWX are out there in the corner huddling over a book they read exchanging critique while SJ is in the walk-in closet obsessing over clothes. Once in a while he makes wwx stand in the centre of the room to see if the combo fits wwx's physique or not. 

Sylvie-Laoshi: First day with the three of them together and they've already got a nice and comfortable (almost domestic you might say!) dynamic down. 😂 😂 😂. 

Jinjin: The next day, everyone is blown away when wwx comes to school the next day. 

Sylvie-Laoshi: They all just can’t look away…. Some of them even secretly took photos on their phones as WWX walked by (HC, PM and LWJ definitely did at least). 🤭

Jinjin: 😂 😂😂 But the Lan Twins are not happy! The Shens are too close!! This is war!! ⚔️

Sylvie-Laoshi: It's the Lan Twins vs the Shen Twins! Gather up everyone! They're about to have a showdown! (SJ already voted that it should be a fashion competition first and then a musical one second). 🤣 🤣 🤣

Jinjin: LXC will have you know that Lans aren't old money for nothing!! They have an impeccable fashion sense!! LWJ in the corner already giving up on the fashion show and preparing for the music competition. He will win that one for sure!! (lwj is actually the head of the disciplinary committee, btw)

Sylvie-Laoshi: That's soooooo in character for both of them! Oh my gooooooood! 🤣 🤣 Also, I can't imagine a more perfect role for LWJ other than being in the disciplinary committee. 😂

Jinjin: I couldn't think of anything else. The Library was occupied already after all and so were the music lessons.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Truuuuuuueeee. We got so many young talents in this school... If it's not the most prestigious school in all of China, I'm eating my keyboard.....🤣

Jinjin: Oh it definitely is! 😂…What of NMJ, though?

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oooooooh! Could he be head of the wrestling club (who's already won a few gold medals)?! And XL a part of the fencing club? Or dancing. I could see him go either way, really. I don't know what roles they can have in the school committee, though. 🤔

Jinjin: Let's do it like this, XL has actually been a member of three clubs but was removed from two because of something or the other. Dance then fencing and now he is in the eco-club dedicated to the preservation of the environment in and around the school and city. NMJ, XL and the rest can be club representatives for their respective clubs. I can definitely see NMJ  being the school wrestling champion. He is one of those sports people who are already making a career in their fields

Sylvie-Laoshi: I love how you snuck in the 'thrice-ascended' god reference! 🤣

Jinjin: Can't forget the thrice ascended reference now can we 😌

Sylvie-Laoshi: NMJ’s already successful before he even left highschool! What an impressive young man, indeed! (Why does a part of me think that WWX would be a bit of a fanboy for this NMJ? Like kid!WWX was REALLY into fighting sports, wrestling was one of his favourites and now he gets to meet one on his way to becoming a national champion...?)🤩

Jinjin: Oh like a Yuri on ice idolization!! Just that wwx in not a wrestler.

Sylvie-Laoshi: I love how your mind works! 🥰. Ooooorrrrrr WWX just really likes fighting and asks NMJ on how to fight opponents bigger than him. This then evolves into them having semi-sparring sessions.... 🤭

Jinjin: Oh my~ 🤭 things can get quite hot in this scenario

Sylvie-Laoshi: Indeeeeed~ 😏

Jinjin: NMJ was not ready for the sudden heart disease he seems to have caught maybe he should go consult Wen Qing 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: This is gonna be a running gag. I just know it..... 🤣

Jinjin: Definitely 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Ooooohhh! Here's an idea for an arc!

Jinjin: Oh…?

Sylvie-Laoshi: Poor WWX doesn't know which club to join!! He JUST transferred! And you're only allowed to be in one, but all his 'friends' are scattered in so many different clubs!

Jinjin: 😂 oh woe is he. He has so many 'friends' who should he join 😔

Sylvie-Laoshi: This can then evolve into lots of spats/arguments between the 'friends' where all of them try to sway WWX into joining THEIR club. *Gasp* LBH should be representative of the cooking club!!!

Jinjin: How could we forget!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: Sorry. We COMPLETELY forgot about him. (So many characters, man.....😅 🤣) 

Jinjin: Well no one is a contender in the lunch department now 😂 But the popularity of this man and his legendary dishes knows no bounds 😂 

Sylvie-Laoshi: Definitely. He is the unchallenged/unbeaten winner chef in this story. 😂

Jinjin: Well the lunch arc goes to LBH. He is the final winner. The music one will definitely go to the Lan twins.

Sylvie-Laoshi: The gardening/eco-club to XL.

Jinjin: We sidelined poor YY too.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oooof. Yes. Poor YY! He would be the vice-president of his class, right? Since HC's president.

Jinjin: They were the student council president and vice president weren't they? That is why there was rivalry between HC and WKX. 

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yeah! We mentioned that a while back (best to keep our facts checked. So many different roles here!) 🤣

Jinjin: I think YY would fall in love if wwx picked the papers that slipped from his hands because there were too many. All with the angle effect in the background 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: That can be on WWX's first day at school! And then a cleaning closet scene would be their second encounter! 🤩 As in: WWX accidently made a mess during his 'try-out day' in the cooking club. Feeling flustered, he rushes to a cleaning closet and there he finds the cute, quiet kid that he ran into before, who's always following HC around like his personal secretary (even though that's supposed to be HX's job), Yin Yu. Currently napping next to the cleaning supplies. 

Jinjin: Oh please yes!!!! 😍 I can just see wwx thinking. Oh poor thing and then going to the supply closet and bringing over a blanket for YY. MEET-CUTE!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: YESSSSS! And YY was actually AWAKE, but pretended like he was still sleeping (he's a light-sleeper, because he didn't want a teacher to catch him napping in the closet. It would set a bad example as the vice-president) 🤭

Jinjin: And here starts the story of the shy vice president who didn't declare his love openly because he was scared of the president 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Class president Hua Cheng would work him to death if he did. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Jinjin: He would 🤣

Sylvie-Laoshi: What of Pei Ming? How would their meet-cute go? 🤔

Jinjin: I can't say? He is a playboy after all. But it can go like this, PM flirting with Wwx and not expecting the comeback from wwx and then floundering through the conversation flustered JZX style. Wwx was a certified flirt in canon.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Like the smug player who didn't think he could be outmatched! 🤣

Jinjin: Exactly!! 🤣

Sylvie-Laoshi: Truuuuueee! And this would be the ONE time where he's 100% sure that a guy was flirting with him, since it's common knowledge that PM likes both guys and girls. 🤣 🤣

Jinjin: But wwx from then onwards thinks that PM is in a competition of out flirting each other

Sylvie-Laoshi: And doesn't ACTUALLY think that PM might be interested in him because OF COURSE he doesn't! 🤣 🤦‍♀️

Jinjin: Well PM this is Karma 😂 When the entire harem has confessed and has been accepted (way off into the future) PM still has friend status. The harem literally pitied him and told WWX that PM actually loved him. Please put him out of his misery.

Sylvie-Laoshi: The fact that PM (of ALL people) would be the last one to join..... That's comedy gold right there. 😂 😂 😂

Jinjin: It is 😂😂😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Hmmm. Now all that's left are LBH, LQG and Meng Yao. How would their meet-cutes go? 🤔

Jinjin: I don't know 😔

Sylvie-Laoshi: Hmmm. Well LBH would be the representative of the cooking club. Meng Yao could be in charge of the school newspaper (since gossip and rumours are his bread & butter in canon) OR head of the drama club, since he's such an excellent actor. As for LQG, tennis or football champ (I'm thinking of a sport that's most suitable for his physique)....

Jinjin: LQG fits tennis very well 🤔

Sylvie-Laoshi: WE FORGOT HE XUAN AND SHI QINGXUAN!!! 🤯

Jinjin: Yikes!!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: Ironic that it's both of them together....🤣

Jinjin: SQX definitely has the friends to lovers trope. They have such playful personalities they just go with the flow into friendship and then evolve into some more as they spend time together

Sylvie-Laoshi: He and WWX honestly wouldn't have it any other way....😂

Jinjin: They wouldn't 😌. He Xuan can have his time to shine in the club arc where he is the secretary and has to introduce WWX to every club so that he can make a decision thus spending a lot of time with him. They are all serious conversation  and HX falls hard when he sees wwx smile be hyperactive but calm down and get down to actual business when it comes to important matters

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yes! HX would definitely love the non-hesitant, serious decision-making side of WWX, who also doesn't take himself tooooo seriously.

Jinjin: Wwx would be the kind of balance that Hx really appreciates.

Sylvie-Laoshi: You know what?! Let's have SQX be the head of the drama club (he seems like the hyperactive theatre kid type) and Meng Yao could be in charge of the school newspaper, while ALSO keeping the nasty rumours about WWX at bay (once MY falls for WWX that is 🤭 )

Jinjin: Oh we totally forgot the easiest way to MY's heart!! Wwx argues that his mother shouldn't be made fun of for being a single mother if it was the father that left him and that she is a dedicated mother who brought up her son all alone!

Sylvie-Laoshi: And from there WWX (unknowingly) got MY *locked* on him! 🤩 😂

Jinjin: He did 🤭

Sylvie-Laoshi: Now for LQG….

Jinjin: Oh…?

Sylvie-Laoshi: I'm thinking that during his exploration of the school, WWX decided to take ONE tennis lesson just to see if he's up for it (he knows how to play, but his skills are average). On that same day, LQG was supposed to have a fierce training session with a champion from a rival school at the same time as WWX's tennis lesson, but the rival delayed (and nobody told LQG)....So! LQG goes to the tennis court, on his A-game, thinking that the raven head on the other side was his opponent, served......and knocked WWX to the ground, giving him a concussion because he hit the ball too hard (WWX didn't see it coming). LQG had to carry him to the nurse's office. 🤣 🤣 It's soooooo dumb. But also soooooo LQG..... 😂

Jinjin: This would be so precious 😂 LQG would feel so very guilty after this!

Sylvie-Laoshi: HE WOULD! The next few weeks, WWX keeps getting mysterious packages of spicy snacks in his school locker and doesn't know who keeps putting them in there! (LQG asked around and found out that WWX likes spicy food. This is his way of apologising). 🤣

Jinjin: He is a bit emotionally constipated and can't say sorry to his face thus begins the take of the secret snack provider. One day wwx gets to school early and hides behind another row of lockers just to see who was leaving him snacks. When he finds LQG he shouts "it's you!!". Maybe both of them like spicy snacks and that becomes their bonding point.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yeaaaaah! New head-canon for LQG!!! 🤣 🤣 Now for LBH, I think I FINALLY have a meet-cute for him....

One day, WWX woke up REALLY late (maybe it was right after the concussion episode and his body-clock hasn't fully recovered yet). He runs to the kitchen to prepare his own lunch-box (usually his mom would help him with that, but she already went off to work, probably thinking that WWX's ALREADY at school and not over-sleeping). During recess, WWX goes to the school's rooftop for some peace and quiet since his head was still pounding (cliche as hell, I know). He sits down there and cracks open his lunchbox, about to start a meal, when he hears a new voice exclaiming: "HOW did a simple congee came out to be THAT shade of red?!" WWX snaps his head in the voice's direction and finds another kid, just huddling there in his corner, several books open infront of him (doing HOMEWORK during recess! WWX thinks disbelievingly), inspecting WWX cooking style (or lack thereof). 

LBH nods to himself and asks: "You have anything after school?"

WWX: "No...?"

LBH: "Good. Meet me in the cooking club once you're done with your last class."

Jinjin: Cliche but nice!! 😆 Wwx was so bewildered with this person suddenly bossing him around and LBH was dying inside with each bite wwx takes of that red monstrosity.

Sylvie-Laoshi: LBH is probably thinking to himself that WWX has no taste buds. How else could he eat that and NOT gag?!

Jinjin: No gag huh 😏

I am so sorry 😂 It's just heavenly pillar  and no gag what was I supposed to think 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oh my god. You evil genius you~ 🤣

Jinjin: What evil genius?! I felt second-hand embarrassment from my own comment!! It was so.......*facepalm*

Sylvie-Laoshi: Don't worry about it.... This is a judgement free zone!!!

Jinjin: Thank you!!! *sigh*

Sylvie-Laoshi: Aaaaaaannnnnddddddd thus starts the arc of LBH TRYING to teach WWX how to cook, but somehow WWX just CAN'T get it right. LBH gives up and resolves to just cook WWX lunch everyday JUST so he doesn't accidently give himself food-poisoning! 🤣

Jinjin: The perfect house husband manners!! Mama wei approves 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oh my god. Wei Ying's parents would have a riot once they find out the complete shit show that's their son's love-life!!! 🤣 🤣 😭

Jinjin: They would 😂🤣😭. Wei Changze is having a crisis!! There are 10 too many sons-in law here!! His baby is in danger!! While Cangse Sanren is having the time of her life! She is making a ranking of all her son's boyfriends 😂🤣

Sylvie-Laoshi: WCZ’s ONLY baby at that!!!!

Jinjin: WCZ is thinking of moving to a different city once again 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: No! He's thinking of moving to a whole different planet all together!!! Somewhere that DOES NOT have any other man chasing after his precious boy!!!!

Jinjin: 😂😂😂. There is a sense of doom hanging over WCZ. I am sure he faints at some point 😂. 

Sylvie-Laoshi: Just once? I feel like he'll be fainting multiple times in this story~

Jinjin: No no this is the start of WCZ fainting side series 😂

I know we made the entire harem for wwx but how does it function in the modern world?

Sylvie-Laoshi: I have no cluuuuuuuuuueeeeeee 😭 😭 😭

Jinjin: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: THEY'RE RICH PEOPLE! They don't go by the same rules that us peasants do!!!!

Jinjin: 😂 they don't!!! There really are too many 😂 I can't think of something feasible 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: What have we done....? Jinyu...? I think we took it waaaaaay too far this time!!! �� 😭 😂 😭 😂 😭

Jinjin: Definitely not!! Everything is fair in love, war and fandom!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: I genuinely cannot think of a better slogan for dedicated shippers. You summed it up perfectly. 😍 How many are in the harem now? I lost count....😅

Jinjin: Okay, so there's:

LBH

SY

SJ

LQG

HC

HX

YY

XL

SQX

PM

LXC

WJ

MY

WN

NMJ

Anyone else?

Sylvie-Laoshi: WKX…

Jinjin: Oh yes! 

Sylvie-Laoshi: You know what?! Why don't we add Shi Wudu, Xue Yang and Zhou Zishu in there for good measure? At this point, adding more isn't gonna make things any worse (it has already went FAR PAST the insane stage) 🤣 😭 🤣 😭

Jinjin: Let's go! We are already in too deep 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: We've already fully embraced the madness~

Jinjin: Their dating life isn't going to be that difficult but adult life with a harem is going to be challenging. 

Sylvie-Laoshi: Maybe they can all mark their calendars? See which days they can have WWX to themselves...? 🤷‍♀️

Jinjin: Well two of them are going for international sports. They are going to be busy. Meng Yao is probably going to join the paparazzi; he is also not going to have much time. Lan twins are old money which comes with responsibility. Same for Shen twins. They will no doubt make time for wwx but work is not going to leave them be. WN is probably going to pursue a medical degree and we know the condition of medical students. He will be there but mostly tired. HC is new money and needs to keep up with his company and YY is of course with him. HX will have the same problem and he is alone so that's a greater problem. SQX is either going to be an actor or a model, both of which will take a lot of time. WKX (is he old or new money?) has a lot of open options but I think he will open a bookshop maybe with a dream of owning his own Library. LBH is definitely going to become a cook and his most time out of all of them.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Hmm. Both of WKX’s parents are doctors (since they were healers in canon) but WKX didn't wanna pursue the same career-path as his parents. So yeah. Let's go with the bookshop option. ❤️

Jinjin: Sweet XL is definitely going to be an activist with the UN or something. He is also old money.

Sylvie-Laoshi: That suits him so well! ☺️

Jinjin: All this to say they are all very busy and won't be with wwx at the same time except for maybe new years and Christmas and such festivals. They buy a big house contributing their own share from their first salaries and live in the same place (for wwx of course) 

Though we can say this harem has side canon pairings too. Or fanon.

Sylvie-Laoshi: Yesss! Let the HuaLian, Beefleaf, Bingqui (he can have both twins if he wants), WenZhao ships thrive at the same time! (And maybe they can mix it up a bit too! HC & HX, XL & SQX, LWJ & LBH and so on and so on. I feel like we're gonna need to make several charts JUST to keep track of all the pairings.... 😂

Jinjin: I think so too 😂 They’re all gonna be a big happy gen z family 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: Also, I counted how many harem members (if you include SWD, XY and ZZ) then that would be 19 boyfriends/lovers/husbands for our dear WWX. I do NOT feel an ounce of pity whatsoever!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 

Jinjin: Neither do I 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: You know TWENTY men will be living under the same roof, RIGHT?! And we're not even including potential kids here!!!!

Jinjin: POTENTIAL KIDS?!! Let's go!! Make this a men can get pregnant verse!! (Not omegaverse). 

Sylvie-Laoshi: WWX shouldn't be the only one to get pregnant! We got several bottoms here too! They can take up some of the load (PLEASE for the love of god DO NOT make WWX birth out NINETEEN kids -at the least-!!!!)

Jinjin: We shall not!!!! That it why it's not omegaverse 😂

But how many couples does a 20 people group make?? 😀

Sylvie-Laoshi: This is why I suggested charts. Because there's NO WAY we can keep track of even ONE character crossing over to other pairings! And we're not even including throuples here!!!

Jinjin: OMG throuples 😱 Wait wait let me see how many couples that makes at least 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: The longer we talk, the more insane we're getting.... 😭

Jinjin: So I may have done a mostly right calculation and there would be 171(?!) couples if everyone is involved with everyone except for the twins with each other….

Sylvie-Laoshi: Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................................

Jinjin: I know right 🤣😭🤣😭

Sylvie-Laoshi: I feel like this is the kind of crazy project that a whole STAFF of fanfic authors need to work on to make it functional (while also high on crack)..................................

Jinjin: 😂 you think we are high on crack 😂😂😂 I can't stop laughing 🤣

Sylvie-Laoshi: I can't stop either 🤣

Jinjin: Just think, 171 pairings!! 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: We were JUST talking about Well Matched (one of my published fics)! Then I was the one who decided that WWX should have a reverse-harem. 🤣 😭

Jinjin: Oh shit we were talking about well matched!!!!

Sylvie-Laoshi: You remember that WangXian fic that went viral, had like a 100+ tags and basically broke AO3?! I feel like THIS idea would be JUST like that, if not worse!!!!

Jinjin: 😂 it would break Ao3!! But this time it would be the relationships column that is going to have 100+ tags 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: I don't know if it will even ALLOW you to put 171 pairings....🤣

Jinjin: 😂 well then the entire first chapter would be FILLED with pairing 😈mwhahahahhaha

Sylvie-Laoshi: SO TRUUUUUUEEEE! It will be filled with JUST WWX-centric pairings in the beginning before slowly but surely crossing over with other characters till the sheer monstrosity shows itself in all its terrifying glory!!!!!

I think....this is our craziest tangent to date..... 😵‍💫

Jinjin: Is there any doubt?!! 🤣 People are going to run away before reaching the second chapter. Unless they are as you said "high on crack" 🤣

Sylvie-Laoshi: Nope! I don’t doubt it one bit! And I don't know if I should be proud or terrified!

Jinjin: Now, that I can't answer 😅 somewhere in between? I think it shows that we had been fandom deprived as this was our conversation on a Tuesday evening…The most tiresome day of the week.

Sylvie-Laoshi: I have to say, that is a very accurate assessment… Let's just shelve this......goliath of an idea (I genuinely don't know if we can EVER revisit an idea this insane, but two rarepair-starved shippers can dream....🥺 ). 

Jinjin: They can dream alright. They already did. If there was a third person here either it would be someone as crazy or we would be getting blocked 😂

Sylvie-Laoshi: This was sooooooooooo fun. Definitely had my creative juices flowing like crazy. I had a blast! 

Jinjin: Tell me about it!! It was so fun!! 😂 Made my week I think I will think of this idea and get through this week easily 🤣

Sylvie-Laoshi: Glad that you can have something new to cheer you up whenever you feel down!!! ❤️ I think it's best that we call it a night. It's probably past 1:00 AM there. And I'm feeling pretty tired myself. But this was THE BEST thought experiment we've had!! I'll keep you posted for any future projects!

Jinjin: Good Night! 💤 Take lots of rest!

Sylvie-Laoshi: You too! Goodnight~

((Discussion End))

Further Lore for the Other Harem Members: 

1. Zhou Zishu (Word of Honor): Jinjin suggested that WKX and ZZS could be one of the few established couples before any of the reverse-harem drama happened. WenZhou were childhood sweethearts that officially started dating while in middle school. WKX was the one who introduced WWX to ZZS, after they both start catching feelings, they decide to ‘experiment’ by having an open-relationship (they are oddly one of the few ‘mature’ members of the harem). And thus starts the arc of the most ‘experienced’ couple in the harem taking turns wooing WWX. Sometimes double combo-ing by smoothly inviting WWX to after school hangouts. Since WenZhou lived their whole lives in that town and they’re just tryna show the ‘new kid’ around~

ZZS can be the head of a fencing and/or mixed martial arts club. Unfortunately, I don’t think there would be a club for alcohol brewing. Not in a SCHOOL!!!)

Also, ZZS can drink WWX under the table. I’m SURE of it!!! )

2. Mo Xuanyu (MDZS): Jinjin had the brilliant idea of making MXY an underclassman who joins a year after WWX and was bullied in his previous school for both being gay and having a teen single mother. It keeps to his canon-pathos, but thankfully he’ll find acceptance in the harem/this lunacy of a group.

3. Xue Yang (MDZS): It was suggested that XY could be a foster kid/orphan who got into the school via a scholarship. It makes him the odd one out who had to use his wits and genius and claw his way up to where he is now. He’s a loner, a guy who just likes to unsettle people with dark ‘jokes’ for shits and giggles AND is the head of chemistry club. Makes perfect sense, the most dangerous place in a school that one can imagine are near acids, fire, reactive metals and what not. And maybe he has a similar obsession with chemicals and explosions like Maomao from Apothecary Diaries. Could be a nice zainey reference to his canon insanity. The only other thing he would be obsessed with is WWX and maybe Meng Yao/JGY.

4. Nie Huaisang (MDZS): Another friend made a hilarious suggestion, where NHS is the one who shows up to meetings, but has no official job. Everyone wonders why he is there and when asked he says: “Da-ge is my ride.” (or something equally ridiculous). Everyone assumes since he’s the lazy little brother who has average grades and whines whenever he’s given any sort of task, that he’s just an unambitious wimp. But as it turns out he was behind several betting pools about who would date WWX first, what kind of dates they would be, who would start in-fighting within the harem first, who would WIN in a fight and so on. NMJ still wonders to this day how NHS made so much money (their parents refused to give him any more pocket-money as punishment for his shit grades). Also, imagine everyone's shocked expressions when they find out NHS sideled his way into the harem with hardly anyone noticing (he just couldn't standby and watch from the sidelines anymore. )

5. Shi Wudu (TGCF): Jinjin and I decided on a very (un)subtle canon reference by making SWD head of the swimming club. One of the most common clubs in schools + it TOTALLY won’t leave room for very wet and juicy descriptions. (Jinjin said it, not me ). For added tension in the harem, SWD was gunning for head of the fashion club, but Shen Jiu beat him to the punch and now SWD has a SJ-sized chip on his shoulder. Plus, SWD has been dubbed the school’s resident ‘bastard’ and ‘unapologetic villain’. 

This is due to what he apparently ‘did’ to He Xuan’s sister. Soooooo, anyways SWD used to date HX’s sister (briefly) THEN rumor had it that they had this big dramatic breakup where the sister ended up heartbroken, all these allegations would start circulating in the school’s rumor mill. How SWD would often blow off HX’s sister, forgetting to pick her up for their dates, if she sends him a text, he’ll respond hours or even DAYS later, how he keeps forgetting what her favourite snacks and one time gave her a candy that she was apparently allergic to. 

Essentially, the rumours say that he was a SHIT boyfriend and that resulted in all the girls and guys in the school saying that SWD is a “ No-go Zone”. Basically a “date at your own peril” kinda person. Aaaaannnnnndddd. Of course HX has a huge, deep seated hatred over the guy who ‘seemingly’ treated his sister like shit. BUT….As it turns out, they were ‘fake dating’. SWD was doing the sister a solid, so that she can go and date Yushi Huang and Ling Wen (who are in SWD’s friend group). HX’s sis wanted to hide the fact that she was into women because she was afraid her family wouldn’t accept it. Soooooo yeaaahhhhh …. . 

That’s all I could come up with. SWD is still a bastard because he’s perfectly fine being portrayed as the ‘villain’ in the whole school and deliberately hams it up. (It makes it easier for him to get rid of all the stupid girls who keep leaving him love letters. They can FINALLY leave him alone!!!) AND we can have the HX x SWD ship later on without it being super problematic (*whispers* like in canon….). Also, we can make HX’s sister older than him by two years. SWD is older than everyone by one year and still has one final year to go before graduating high school.

The Pet Owners in this Verse:

1. HX can have pet fish (because of course).

2. The Lans can have bunnies. (Jinjin brilliantly thought of Mama Lan running a bunny café. The Lan Twins visit the place to keep the bunnies company during closing hours + it’s one of their favourite places to do their studies in).

3. Ling Wen can have an owl (scholar god reference and all that)

4. Yushi Huang can have an ox (maybe she and her family own a couple of farms + livestock.)

5. Maybe the Shen Twins can have guinea pigs. (Because Shen Yuan fell in love with them as a kid and the only way he could get his parents to agree is if BOTH twins want it, SY looks at Shen Jiu with the biggest puppy-dog eyes he could muster, SJ caved and said ‘sure’ *sigh*).

6. Some of the characters' spiritual weapons can be cats (Bichen, Shuoyue, Ruoye, E-Ming, Suibian, Chenqing and so on). And HC, XL, LWJ & LX can have cats from the same litter that was abandoned in front of the school just before WWX arrived. The last two of the litter (Chenqing and Suibian) attach themselves to WWX . XL’s and the twins’ parents wouldn't allow them to take in the cats so they take care of them at the back of the school as a “bonding experience” between them. Bichen, Shuoyue, E-Ming and Ruoye can latch onto WWX like their owners did).

End of fic idea dump.

And then we never discussed it again. LITERALLY Jinjin and I very very rarely ever even thought about this lunacy of a brainstorming session. So, thank you to my online friends (specifically Jaq and Stel) for reminding me about this (cursed) gem Jinjin and I carved out months and months ago.

If there is ANYONE who wants to take this idea and run with it through the wall, by all means go for it. Just please remember to give proper credits!!! If anyone wants to jump in and CO-WRITE this monstrosity with me (i.e. become a writing member/choose a chapter and/or pairing you wanna cover) by all means feel free to DM me here on Tumblr or on Twitter @SylvieSays22 or even on Discord at sylviesoothsayer and we can organise something because….. I sure as shit can’t write this whole thing ALONE!!! Lmaooooo.

Special thank you to Heiyu/Jinjin for helping me give birth to this abomination and EXTRA special thank you to Jaq for REMINDING me of NHS and for that hilarious NHS-lore. Lol.

Thank you for going through this madness!!!! Feel free to drop a like and lemme know your thoughts in the comments.

Next post will be a proper fic/teaser, promise~~
