Dating Haechan!!

Finally going to do dating head cannons for all the NCT members!! They'll be done in no specific order but feel free to request the ones you want first!!

Masterlist

Where to start with this cutie???

people always paint him as a chaotic evil

and they're right

uses every opportunity for chaos

you're watching a movie? compares you to the monster

you're eating a sandwich? the other half is gone before you even take a bite of the first half

the worst part is he's not even hungry

"You see, I just do it for the thrill!" pack it up, criminal!

he'll also literally face time you at 1am just to call you ugly

also, uses you as a scapegoat

you could have not have been to the dorms in months but Johnny's missing shirt? yea you stole it

at first it was somewhat believable

,,,,when it was things like unwashed mugs and the occasional missing snack

but after he blamed you for stealing taeyong's yogurt, that he was currently eating.... safe to say the guys caught on

"You're literally eating it?? I know it was you??" "I know it just like blaming y/n" *shrugs*

He lives for being overdramatic

you know when stuff goes wrong and he screams for his mum?

yea congrats he'll just scream ur name

at first it sends you into a panic because you think he's actually hurt

but no he just slipped and is embarrassed lol

him being overdramatic also bleeds into his affection

he loves to be overly affectionate in front of the guys because he loves the way it makes you blush

he'll call you every pet name under the sun, hug you so tight you can barely breathe and he'll finish it off by pinching your cheeks and calling you cute in a baby voice

but as soon as you're in his room he'll just call u an idiot LOL

Also if he loses at a game he'll dramatically flop himself all over you and demand you console him

"I lost I think I deserve a kiss or I'll have to cry myself to sleep"

"You lost? why should I give you a prize?"

cue him loudly fake crying until you kiss him

He also always has a reply to everything??

he'll ask you out for coffee and you'll end up paying because of some backwards logic he came up with that somehow makes sense??

but, despite his overdramatic and chaos-driven nature, when it's just the two of you, he acts like you're his whole world

and in reality, everything he does is just to see you smile

he can barely keep his hands off of you most of the time

his love language is definitely touch

Whether it's cuddling, hand-holding or just your knees touching, whenever he's near you he just needs a physical connection

he says you're his personal charger lol

and when you stay over, he'll cling to you like a koala

one time you woke up early and he refused to get up so you involuntarily carried him to the kitchen with him clinging to you

DIES when you wear his clothes

but he'll play it off like it's annoying

"ya I hope you're paying for my laundry!"

but he secretly won't wash it when you give it back because it smells like you

he'll also randomly play with your hands

moving your rings to different fingers and such

most of the time he doesn't even realize he's doing it but it's cute nonetheless

He LOVES sharing his interests with you

he teaches you soccer, and even if you're hopeless, he'll still let you win

but he'll still whine and ask for a kiss after LOL

he's defo the type to send you playlists

most of the time they're full of dumb songs he found

or just Michael Jackson's whole discography

but occasionally he'll send you one full of songs that remind him of you

and sometimes you catch him humming them to himself, taping his leg gently to the beat

When he misses you, he listens to those playlists and just pictures you

he'll also text you little explanations for why he chose the songs sometimes out of the blue

He defo has a terrible picture of you as his lock screen

but his home screen is his favourite photo of you that can't be his lock screen because "it's sacred"

you think he's joking when he says it but he's not

having it as his some screen makes it feel like his little secret, something he can cherish

but he won't admit that lol

he's not also afraid to be vulnerable around you

he's pretty sure of himself most of the time but in those moments when everything is a mess he knows he can come to you and you know you can do the same

which is something he appreciates so much

he won't say it, but he loves how you can see him for who he actually is

you see past all the jokes, the insults and overdramatic behavior

you know him inside and out, no filters

and you still love him :,)

Home Sweet Home

CHAPTER 1: Riverdale

Sweet Pea x Reader

Canon-Divergence.

Summary: In a world so big, how were you stuck in such a tiny town?

Word Count : 1877

Author’s Note: Hi guys! This is my first piece of writing I’m putting out so hopefully it’s good lol. I’m not even caught up with Riverdale tbh, and that’s bc there’s so little Sweet Pea. Back to the point though, I would love your guys’ review on this (:

           Moving away from California was the last thing you wanted to do. It was your home- your safe place. So many good things happened there and now... it was miles away. The trees blurred into a green blob, right up until you decided to focus on one. Then it seemed to go in slow motion. A sigh escaped your lips, eyes flickering up to the rearview mirror. The backseat- along with the trunk- was filled with your bags. It left little room to actually use the mirror for what it’s meant for. But then again, no one was rushing to stay at the ‘town with pep’. (It was anything but.)

“It’ll be fine.” Your mom’s hand came to rest on your own. “Think of this as a fresh start.”

“I didn’t want a fresh start.” 

There was a pause. The words had flown out faster than you could stop them. They left a bad taste in your mouth- complaining wasn’t something you liked to do. This whole move wasn’t your mom’s fault; people were shit and liked to shit on others. “Sorry.”

“It’s okay. I know what you’re feeling. But I really do think you’ll be happier here.”  

As another silence hung over you both, you couldn’t help but wonder if that was true. Your life back in California was like a dream. You had a good group of friends, a best friend, and a place where you felt good and safe. It was a scene ripped right from the movie screen. But heading to Riverdale gave you a whole new perspective and you couldn’t say you liked it. 

The sun beat down your back as you pulled the rest of the suitcases out of the trunk. You could already feel the sweat building up on your neck. Even in Riverdale you couldn’t beat Summer’s heat- go figure. With three bags in your left and a suitcase in your right, you stepped back to let your mom shut the trunk. Your eyes wandered over to the park’s sign, dingy from years of standing. 

Sunnyside Trailer Park. Low Rates- No Pets- Swimming Pool.

A painted sun beamed with yellow and red rays right above the words. A line, the same shade of red, ran right through the second set below. 

Many times you’ve been here through the years and you couldn’t say anything has changed. A small smile spread across your face. The outside of the trailers were tinged with dust and dirt. Only one mattered, though, and that one was just a few feet away. A little wooden staircase leads up to the door. Trash bins were lined up on the left, while an isolated box stood on the other. It was familiar- so familiar you already knew what the inside looked like. But it wasn’t home. 

You walked up to the box and lifted a lawn gnome, grimacing at the rust on it. It was such an obvious place to hide a key. Your mother walked up behind you, groaning about how she should have thrown away more shoes. ( “You never know if I need them,” she’d said.) 

You trudged up the stairs and opened the door, settling your luggage to the side. To your right was the living room, set with all the essentials. To the left was the kitchen. You purse your lips before turning. 

“Hey, mom,” you called out. “You think uncle would mind if I munched on something?” 

Her voice echoed from the bathroom. “I don’t think so! Just munch, though. I think we should go to Pop’s and get something.” 

With that, you practically ran towards the kitchen. The cool air of the fridge hit you, a sigh of relief escaping. The feeling quickly fell as you saw nothing in there that would satisfy your hunger. You’d thought the fridge would be stocked considering your cousin was such a foodie. How did he get by like this? You closed the door, puffing out at the disappointment. Guess you’d have to wait for diner food. “So, uh.. when exactly are we going there?”

You watched your mom round the corner. “Soon. Uncle will be here soon.”

And, low and behold, your uncle walked through the door within the next few minutes. He wore a tired grin as he opened his arms toward you. Stepping away from the fridge, you wrapped your arms around him. His stubble scratched the top of your head. You murmured a little hello and your uncle returned it. That smile was still on his face as he greeted your mom. 

“It’s good to see you, Forsythe.” 

“Why don’t you ever use FP?” He groaned, holding her at arm's length. “I hate that name.” 

“Well, it's your name.” She rolled her eyes, patting his shoulder. Your mom was the older one out of the two and she made sure everyone knew. 

Despite the complaints from FP, you knew he wasn’t that bothered by it. Family was everything with you guys, even when you lived across the country. The constant contact with each other over the years kept that bond strong. It made you wish being here was under different circumstances. 

The two adults shared a look before nodding. Your eyes shifted to the half empty coffee pot on the stove, left untouched since the morning. Of course your uncle knew about what happened in California. You figured the talk would happen later- out of earshot for you. A part of you hoped you’d be included, while another didn’t want to talk about it. 

A buzzing noise reached your ears. You fumbled to get your phone from the back of your pocket. The screen lit up, soliciting a smile at the text. B/F Name, your best friend, had been texting you since you left. You missed her a lot. Never have you been so far away. Biting your lip, your fingers hovered over the keyboard as you responded. Maybe you would call her later if she wasn’t busy. 

“Y/n, fix yourself. We’re gonna leave.” 

You nodded without looking up at your mom and moved to the only bathroom in the trailer. The text was sent with a ‘ttyl’. 

Looking in the mirror, you locked eyes with your reflection. Bags hung under your eyes. They weren’t noticeable unless you were trying to spot them. You ran a hand over your face, taking a deep breath. Fresh start- that’s what this was. A new page to write whatever you wanted. You clicked your tongue, then sighed. 

_____________

Make the most of this, you thought, and nodded at your reflection before throwing the door open. 

The smell of burgers hit you as soon as the three of you entered. Despite its years, Pop’s looked as good as ever. The floor was checkered with black and grey, the booths a bright red with silver padding covering the top. On the walls were several decorations, many being old photos. Even the people here fit the fifties-esque aesthetic of the diner. 

At the register, your mom stood with your uncle, waving you over. A smile graced her lips, her hand reaching out to place itself on your back. Behind the metal table was a big man wearing an apron and a hat that had Pop’s Chock’Lit Shoppe printed on both. His smile reflected your mom’s. It took you a second before recognizing him. 

“Well, if it isn’t little Y/n L/n. Look at you all grown up.” His voice was as warm as an apple pie fresh out of the oven. 

You returned his smile, waving at Pop before shoving it back into the pocket of your jeans. “Hi. Been a few years,” you said. 

“It certainly has. I’m glad to see you back.” 

Pop nodded to both you and your mom before ushering you to find a seat. You followed the two adults down the line, feeling a bit awkward as you trailed behind. You could feel stares of other customers as you passed by. You kept your eyes trained ahead. 

Pop had come by to take your orders and within that time, you found that your uncle worked there in his free time. 

“So I’m hearing free milkshakes?” You grinned, eyebrows shooting up. 

Your mom snorted. “Or maybe she could get a job and pay for them.” 

FP nodded, pointing a finger at her. You gave them both accusatory glances. 

“I’d like an extra hand around here.”

“It’s not like I wouldn’t try to get hired, but we just moved here! I need a little time to adjust.” 

You slumped against the seat, and picked up a fry. Working at Pop’s didn’t sound like such a bad thing- you had at least a little experience under your belt. You glanced around the diner again, eyeing the empty tables. It shouldn’t be too hard. Turning towards your uncle, you continued, “I just need to get familiar with the place again. Adjust to life in Riverdale first before diving into being the town’s little go-getter.” 

FP snickered. “Alright, kid.” His eyes flickered to the door as the bell attached to it jingled. “Now’s your time to start getting familiar.” 

At his words, you swiveled around to meet Jughead. He looked a little stunned to see you. A second passed before a grin stretched across his face. You made your way toward him. Your arms wrapped around his middle with a squeeze.

 As you pulled away, a group started to push past the doors and stand behind Jughead. You nudge your cousin, then step to the side.  

“Jug,” you hissed when he didn’t follow suit. You gestured to the group, and when you made eye contact with the tall one you gave a smile. “Sorry for him.”

The one at the head narrowed his eyes at you. He crossed his leather clad arms over his torso, and you noticed that they all had the same jacket on. Jughead took a step back towards them, glancing at the tallest before switching back to you. It was then that you saw the same jacket on him that everyone else had. A small “oh” formed on your mouth as your brain connected the dots. 

“Are you guys having some sort of club meeting?”

Jughead scoffed, shaking his head at your ridiculous question. “No, it’s…” 

As he trailed off, his eyes shifted to something behind you. 

“A.. project.”

Right, you thought. A project for what?

You wanted to ask. It was so obvious that he was lying about whatever this was. Yet your lips didn’t move. And you knew why. There was a lot that happened back in your old town; stuff that you’d rather keep in the dark. Even from Jughead whom you were close with. Maybe this lie was his way of telling you he wanted to keep this to himself. So you’ll let it slide… for now. 

Two of the others looked to Jughead. The third one stared hard at you-- the tall one that you’d consider cute if he didn’t have such a mean mug. To avoid his gaze, you turned your back and waved the little group over. You all squished into a booth in the corner of the diner. Menus were passed around as Jughead grinned. 

“Let’s eat!”

ACen summary+loot picts

I wasn’t going to make a report post on ACen because well, a lot of shit happened - and I mean negative stuff. I enjoyed the con despite it, one of the things that happened made me stay out on the floor for longer which actually made me enjoy the con more?? Which sounds weird, but hey it worked out lmao. But here we go, starting Thurs-Sun~

Thurs So, I had to work Thursday till 5pm, right? Well, as I was heading to work, I kept thinking to myself ‘I have this weird feeling and a weird taste in my mouth. I feel kind of...’ so once I get to work, I start drinking some sprite to try and settle my stomache. It does the exact opposite. I’m rushing back and forth from the bathroom and work, until finally, I throw up. Luckily in the bathroom, but oh man, I have never gotten sick at work. So my boss is all ‘if you can find someone to cover you, you can go home, but you cannot leave the new girl by herself.’ which duh, I was just going to stick it out, but then my sour stomach returned and I was shaky all over again and I caved. 

So I get sent home at like, 115? ish? And go back to sleep until about 3. I get some medicine pumped in me and then head out with my sister. The further I get away, the better I feel. Which, I fully believe my getting sick was a lack of sleep/stress thing than actually being sick with something. As I’ve been pulling doubles, not sleeping very well, and working all the damn time. ANYWAYS

Here’s the fun part.

We get to the hotel we’re staying at to check in, a little past 9, finally. Only for them to tell us, hey - you’re only reserved for Thursday, your Fri-Sun had been cancelled. Which made no sense as my sister had called them a month before the con, made sure everything was set. So when they said there was nothing they could do, we manage to find a diff hotel that has a shuttle service and settle for it. My sister and I still discuss possible mistakes that could have happened because we’ve been going to this hotel for yeeeaaars and never had this problem before (incorrect card number, wrong emails, conflicting card numbers - as thursday had been an add on, etc) but once we are in our hotel room, I actually was kind of satisfied. We were at a quiet one and I was able to really sleep - which I sorely needed anyways from the lack of sleep I had been getting. So we all relax, sleep and get ready for Friday~

Fri Friday marked the actual start of the con <3, so we go to the shuttle, which the driver was very nice and took us there within 5 mintues. We get in line for the exhibit hall because hell, we had nothing else to do. (None of the panels this year interested me at all.) We get in and just soak up the atmosphere. The chalk painting this year was JoJo <3 I was happy to see it being Part 1 & 2 JoJo haha, nothing against 3+ but Most people associate 3 with JoJo ^^ Plus Joseph best JoJo. Anyways

I also really loved how ACen was laid out this year. The artist alley had its own room, which I hope it gets that treatment again next year. It made everything more spacious. They had actual food stations - which alcohol and cooked food, not just the convention center snack station (they also had pokeball cakepops, which was cute) I also loved how the gaming room and all panels were all in the convention center. I doubt this will work out that way again next year - as usually prom is held in the spaces they had, but it was really cool. And it only solidified how my sister and I both felt about trying the other hotels instead of the primary one.

So after lounging around the convention, we head back to the hotel. Our shuttle is too busy w the airport, so we had to take a taxi back, which was okay, as all three of us had enough to where it wasn’t expensive. We order food and then play CAH~ My sister had made ACen specific ones and it was so much fun lmao

After lounging around for a couple of hours, my sister and I head back to go to Oregon Trail panel - which is a lot of fun, as always. I was surprised both people who read the fanfiction out loud this year didn’t laugh and gave awesome performances!

We then call out shuttle, they say they would get there in 10 minutes, they are an hour late lmaaao meanwhile, Comfort Inn shuttles come about six times. Another hotel we’ll look into next year~

Sat Since our hotel was much further away this year, this was technically our last day at the convention. We scour artist alley and exhibit hall one last time for any purchases we want to make. And then we just relax a bit. Around 4-5, I head over to the Voltron Gathering, just to see what cosplays were there. I don’t stick around as I’m with people who don’t care and honestly? Photo gatherings tire me out anyways ^^; But I see Keith and Lance in their swimsuits and I’m just thinking ‘oh my god, aren’t you guys cold? D;’ Like, it was barely 60 degrees that day and rainy sob. How were they not freezing? fj;ldk

The cosplays were all great, but I was too shy to come up and say anything to anyone www

We leave the photoshoot and then just hang around the con again, relaxing and enjoying cosplays we see. And then we head back, watch the new episode of my hero academia and p much go to bed~

Sun Just leaving the whole place, I just wanted to add this section because LMAO I forgot to get my quarters out of my bag, it was in the trunk so we had tolls coming up and I was like ‘shiiiit’ luckily two of three tolls had a person, so gave paper money to them and then had enough quarters for the machine one j;gkfdljg;

So yeah, in short - ACen had a lot of bumps this year, A LOT OF BUMPS. But, those things actually made the con even better because I wasn’t just sitting in my hotel room the entire time bored, I was kept stimulated by the sights and sounds of the con <3

I plan on going again next year, as long as life permits it and will probably cosplay next year for real~ (only one is planned so far but I’d like to do a voltron one next year too)

Pictures and Loot Things I bought-

I got a tabby cat kigu, as my old bunny kigu was falling apart ^^; I got PERIOD PANTIES - Stranger Things & Beetlejuice. It was ironic that they were selling this at the con because guess what can on Friday~ lol

Probably my favorite purchase at the artist alley i made  BEELINE TOWARD HER STUFF because I saw it on her tumblr and was all ‘ooohmygod i hope she brought it!!’

My klance + sheith pins <3 Sadly they didn’t have hance and heith, and shance... i would have bought them all D;

My klance badgies lmao I got these MOSTLY because the person was like ‘you get a dollar off your first one for cosplalying lance’ even tho my cosplay was actually a cosplaybound and just inspired outfit ^^- ah well, i’d take it!!

The connecting pic of the lanyard is also a purchase at con <3 (the joke through out the con was ‘i wonder if dee likes voltron?’ because I was so voltron decked out!)

Oh look something not voltron w voltron. This person had the hanging straps and I couldn’t resist <3 And I of course had to get my tododeku on <3

These are hanging from my con money bag <3 The voltron one had a lot of reeeeaaally cute sheith and klance things. I really wanted them too, but I felt I needed one with them all and couldn’t resist that one. And then that strap had two of my otps so i was like ‘its calling to me’ lol

Last of the loot~ I don’t know what I’m going to do w my hufflepuff pins yet, but I loved them and they were a bundle at a cheaper price together so i was like ‘uh, sure?’ and then FINALLY got my tourabu son

Cosplay pics-

These aren’t all of the ones I took, just the ones that came out better than any others-

Third Post: Survival guide

     Today is November 19, 2017. I’m currently sitting in a Tim Hortons/Wendys, viciously drinking a hot cup of coffee while tapping my feet up and down in order to warm up from the 20 minute walk it took me to get here. It’s 4:50 pm, the sun has already set, and I guess it’s pretty safe to say that winter is here. Last night was our first snowfall here in Ottawa (yay!!), but despite all the winter horror stories that I’ve been hearing since I arrived here in late August, it only left a few centimetres and not half a foot like I was expecting. Still though, a few centimetres of snow and a couple gusts of wind were enough to make my skin tingle, my nose run, and make me regret not staying at home where there is also coffee, warmth, and wifi. Silly me. 

     But even during this short trip to the Tim Hortons/Wendys, I found that there was a small lesson (of many others that I will talk about later) for me to learn, in this case: wear thicker pants. That, or consider taking the bus when it’s windy and -2 degrees outside. But it’s alright, I’ll know better for next time. 

     This got me thinking though about how much I’ve learned while being away, so I thought I’d compile a little list. Some things will be more general, cooking tips, personal responsibility tips, etc, and others will be more Ottawa-specific. All will be from personal experience. Let’s start with general though. (I’m assuming that out of my small readership, there won’t be many who’ll actually need Ottawa-specific facts. To be honest that section is more for my own fun so I can roast Ottawa in the name of education LOL) 

Okay, let’s begin!     

General tips, dos, don’ts, and lessons learned

1. Having a car is a blessing which should not be taken for granted. Besides my family, friends, and the abundant supply of sushi that there is back home, driving is what I miss the most 

2. Grocery shopping should be done often and in small amounts so as to not completely destroy your shoulders when carrying groceries home, lamenting about the 6 minute drive it would’ve taken you to get home instead of the 20 minute walk (again, a car is a blessing)

3. Mold should be dealt with IMMEDIATELY. I hate mold, as I’m sure most people do, and I avoid it at almost all costs (shoutout to my dad who usually deals with it for me). I somehow found mold growing on a block of cheese that I bought (yuck) and being a real mature adult, I picked up the cheese, flipped it over so that I couldn’t see the mold, and continued with my day, thinking that I had just solved the problem. To keep the story short though, I threw the cheese out a week later, $15 dollars poorer but perhaps less naive about cheese x mold growth patterns

4. Pay attention during the end of each month because you know what sucks? Forgetting to load your bus pass and being that embarrassed person whose pass gets declined with a whole line of people waiting in the cold behind you, while you try to charm the bus driver into a free ride ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ottawa-specific tips, dos, don’ts, and lessons learned

1. First things first: the busses here are always late. This is not an exaggeration. They are legitimately, never on time, so if you think you’re running late to the bus, don’t worry cause you’re probably not. They do vary in lateness; sometimes a bus will be four minutes late, sometimes it’s 20. Either way, it’s uncool. I think I’ve taken a total of five busses in 3 months, maybe, that came early or on time. It is a rare occurrence and surprisingly makes me miss Translink busses (which is saying something) 

2. The suburbs of Ottawa don’t have too much going on in terms of food. Well, they don’t have much going on in general (sorry Kanata!!), so if you get a chance to go downtown, get a meal you love to eat and then get another to take home with you for later. To paint a picture for you, the closest mall to where I live is called Hazeldean Mall. Originally I was hopeful that there was a mall close by, but was really disappointed after visiting. My manager has even referred to it as the most useless mall around. To be honest I kind of agree, excluding the attached grocery store which is decent but not great (sorry Hazeldean!!)

3. Everything here is pretty spread out. On Google Maps things tend to look closer than they are so don’t be fooled!! After three months of living here, I’ve found it pretty clear that Ottawa and its suburbs were designed for people who have cars (excluding downtown Ottawa, which is actually walkable and not bad for transit). If you’re not convinced, right across from my house is a never ending field of wheat in one direction, and a never ending field of wheat in the other direction, which is pretty typical for a lot of the area (I will follow up with photo evidence if necessary)    

4. Wear two pairs of socks!! Despite the lack of snow, it has gotten super cold here. Last week reached a low of -10, which Surrey hardly ever gets even in the peak of winter. This gave my toes an experience of cold that I have never felt before and don’t wish to feel again. 

     Okay, so I’ll end the list there cause this post is getting a little long (thank you for reading this far!). I know for a fact that there are many more things that I’ll get to add to this list in the six more months that I have left, which I am looking forward to. Despite all these things though, the fun that I’ve had here has been worth the stress of the busses and the cold temperatures. The people that I’ve met are so fun to be around, that I find myself wishing this semester could even be a little bit longer :’) Anyways, that’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks for taking the time to hear what I’ve been thinking about. I hope this haphazard list was benefitial to you in some way, even if it just made you laugh a little. Wishing you a good rest of November and an awesome Christmas-prep season <3 

     For a lil visual, here’s a pic of me at the airport at 2am, arriving in Ottawa for the first time last August. Oh, the things that I didn’t know 😜

Thanks again for reading and God bless!
