Chapter 3: intent << chapter one <chapter two

low - medium honor Arthur Morgan x fem. Reader

Arthur has been living by himself, laying low (for real this time) somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. After the whole Pinkerton and Micah debacle, he has been hiding away, waiting for it all to blow over, occasionally getting letters from the people who still know that he's alive. He's been alone awhile and at first, he thought he could handle a little loneliness. He has been wrong before. Lucky for him, you look like the perfect thing to break up the monotony.

Warnings: dubious consent, low honor Arthur, NSFW content, darkish fic, a bit of naive reader and an allusion to slut shaming. Also a single grain of daddy kink

You answer Arthur's needs. He isn't so keen on losing that.

You're not sure how you drifted to sleep. The warmth you feel when you wake has you sweating, kicking at quilts. You huff at the feeling of all of the blankets. You rise and peel some off but then you remember the man from yesterday. He had done things to you. He sleeps beside you like a rock. You stare at him, at his peaceful face. He doesn't look all that bad, really. He's rather manly looking. He reminds you of what dime novel heroes would look like. You remember all of the things he had said about you. How he’d marry you, how you’d be his wife. You shake your head. Something tells you're sick for thinking that he meant it.

But how could he not? He did show you how a man was supposed to treat a woman. Though no man had taken you to bed by force, staking some sort of marriage claim before defiling you. You deliberate leaving, getting on Lucky and braving the storm. No matter how cold and wild the weather is, how desolate the road is. But you were very warm here. He had made you feel things no man had ever made you feel. Made you feel pretty and… loved. Even if he hadn't said the last part. All of your thinking has only given him a chance to wake, he must be a light sleeper. He wakes all at once, not taking several moments to do so like you had.

“Mornin’, sweetheart,” He seems glad just to see you, even more to see your naked breasts in his face. His voice is rough with sleep and he sounds so enamored. You whisper back to him, almost afraid to speak. He’s up and out of bed in a blink, legs tossed over the side. At the center of him is his manhood, a bit stiff but not nearly as much as yesterday. Unable to fight the girlish part of yourself, you look away despite yesterday's activities. He pulls you up with him; dresses you, as if you were a child, one of his workman's shirts over your head. He dresses himself as well, trousers and a similar shirt.

You're quiet and contemplative, letting the man, (no longer quite a stranger) kiss you good morning, hands on your face to keep you still. He looks like he’s in disbelief, as if waking from a dream of a young woman in his bed, he woke up to find her there.

You let him guide you along, a lot like he did yesterday. After letting you alone to use his chamber pot, you leave the room to meet him. The fire died out overnight and it's actually quite crisp this morning. He tends the fire as you watch on, not quite sure what he wants you to do. He throws some firewood on, lighting some tinder from the box. The wood lights a few moments later. The quiet without the fire is heavier, even as the wind whistles, but the crackling returns.

You follow him to the kitchen as he helps start a fire there as well.

“I could get used to seeing you in this kitchen,” he turns to you, grabbing you from the distance you had tried to keep. He’s rubbing again, arms cage you in, rough hands on your belly. He turns you around, holding you. “Why don’t you show me that cookin’ you said was gonna impress me? Real hungry man, ya know,” His tone leaves no room for an argument. But you give one anyway.

“But I don't know where anything is, what you want to eat…” Timidly you put a pot on the stove. He goes over to the mantle, several untitled leather books sit neatly. Then he's watching your confounded face, a pencil in his hand. He sits down at the dining table, facing you.

“Well, figure it out, can't be all that difficult,” You feel odd looking through the man's things but you suppose he’s invited you to.

You look around, there are plenty of cans of vegetables, fruit in the cabinets. Even some fancy canned salmon. Crackers and candies, and tinned biscuits. You spot plenty of basic staples; flour, saleratus, vanilla. All of this food must have been so expensive. He even has something of an ice box with fresh vegetables. You decide to make something simple, toast with butter, and a can of salmon fried in more butter. You cut some potatoes to fry. You decide to snoop more, seeing what all he has in his kitchen. He has quite a few dried spices, wild carrots, some hanging garlic and herbs. You go back to minding the food, flipping and stirring. Taking your time to serve it all up on plates.

When you turn again, finally acknowledging him out of the comfort you had gained by pretending he wasn't there, he has that smug look. You're not sure you’ll get used to that either. You gently place his serving in front of him as he moves his journal aside.

“Looks like you fared well all by yourself,” He seems so happy, smiling like a fool. Even happier to dig in. He must have been out here alone for a long time if simply having you cook a meal makes him this happy. Although you had done other things which had gotten you a similar reaction. He eats it with no complaints and you partake with him, in the wooden chair across from him. It's certainly not bad and you're glad to be eating. You had been sapped of all your energy, especially after what happened last night.

As you eat, Arthur decides it is a good time to give you more details of his plans for you.

“Have a few things I wanna get through your head…” He sets his fork down and you flick your gaze up to meet his. As always, Arthur has that easy stare, like there isn't a care in the world that he’s trapped a girl in his house. You surely have not tried running yet but something tells you (perhaps the guns on the wall and the hunting trophies) that you wouldn't last very long. You don’t think he’d shoot you but you can see him hunting you like a doe. You sit quietly, waiting for him to continue.

“I’m gonna be as clear as day with ya, don't wantcha gettin’... confused about what you’re here for er how long you’re gonna be here for,” You nervously shuffle your legs under the table. There's an edge in his words but he speaks like he’s telling you a simple fact; gospel.

“Like I said yesterday, I weren't makin’no joke,” You remember his words, how he had promised to marry you. It is the first time a man has even mentioned marriage in your presence barring your own father.“I know that perhaps this ain’t what you had in mind but I know it’s what you need,”

“You won't be leavin’ here, leavin’ me,” The finality in his words is grave, making your stomach drop into what feels like the soles of your feet. You don’t know why you want to cry, tears track down your face. He watches the tears drip down, a small tweak in his eyes, the corners of his mouth, say he doesn't want to see you cry. You suppose, he thinks it's what needs to happen and your tears are a small price to pay.

“But, my ma, my pa, I can’t- you can’t keep me here,” You stand abruptly, panicking. “You can’t do this, it’s not right,” he’s up out of his chair, much faster than you thought. The look in his eye is hard. He blocks the path to the door, he’s much too wide. His face is deadly serious, the wolf in this wolf's den. You spin and pick up a knife from the counter behind you but in turn, he seized the opportunity to grab you from behind, hand on your wrist so tight, pinning you against the counter with his hips and torso. The knife drops and so does your chance to get out of Arthur’s house. You sob and fight against him until you’re too tired. You come back into yourself to notice that he’s been petting and shushing you, holding on to you. You’ve been muttering the word please over and over.

“I’ll let that one slide, sweetheart, like seein’ you put up a little fight,” His hands pet down your arms. The wind and the fireplace ground you in the silence between his words. It’s a whisper down your neck, your head safely tucked into his chest. He puts a sweet kiss in your hair like you didn't just try to pull a knife on him.

“But you try that again, you won’t like it, you hear me?” You sniff and grip the front of his shirt. “What happens when you don’t listen to me, honey?” The following nod you give is frantic and perhaps a bit over the top. “You’re a good girl, ain’tcha?” You look up at him, his fingers trail down your cheek. He gives you a soft, adoring look, a look no man has ever given you. Something must be wrong with you, the way your heart flutters like a hummingbird.

“So damn lucky you walked in here, girl, didn’t think I’d have another chance for this,” His fingers drift down to your hips and then a rough squeeze on your behind. Your little noise of surprise makes him laugh.

“Don’t know how much longer this storm’ll last but once it does, we can go and see your ma, pa, I’ll ask him if he’ll lemme take you away, give you away so you can be my woman,” His fantasy coming true excites him, he gropes down your ass, one hand on your neck; gentle but you can feel his phantom strength, just underneath his skin.

“And if he says no?” You whisper, your words are terse and challenging. However, a small drop of fear clouds your defiant attitude. What should happen if your father does say no? Would Arthur kill him and take you anyway?

“Don’t really matter to me, you’re mine anyway, I’ll tell him his little girl spread her legs easy for me, let me have her right on my bed as thanks for saving her life,”

You give him an obstinate stare at first but then your eyes dip down, thinking how unfortunate it is that he’s right. You did say that at his prompting. You bite your lip. At least he wouldn’t kill your father, just humiliate you in front of your family and make you out to be a whore. He pulls you close, leading you to the couch, so warm in front of the fireplace. He has you on his lap, his knee, like when you were a girl on your own father’s lap.

“Ain’t tryna be mean, honey, but that's what happens when you take that tone with me,” He has a cigarette from the packet of premiums on the table. All of the fight has run out of you like a half cooked egg yolk, spilling all over the plate. Back to the docile creature you suppose he liked. Though he had said he liked seeing you fight his hold on you too. But you know you’ll never win. You had your chance. You could either wait patiently for another or evoke more punishments from him, more of his spankings. You had pushed enough for today.

Relaxing against him, he receives you like you've always been at his side, like you’re made to fit in the slot under his arm. With how he talks about you, he must think that to be true. He tries to offer you a puff from his cigarette but you shake your head. He really is sweet; nice. The only issue is he prefers to be sweet to you on his terms. And his terms are quite severe. Should you have met him under different circumstances; you think, you would have liked him.

“Don’t smoke?” You repeat yourself, shaking your head again. “You some kinda teetotaler?”

“I don't like the taste… or the smell,” you reluctantly tell him. He holds it for a second, looking down at the white crisp paper, the end smokes and swirls the room in the smell of burnt tobacco. He ruminates for a second, exhaling in a steady stream before nodding, stubbing it out in the tray. You hadn’t expected him to do something like that, if anything, you thought he might have blown the smoke in your face just to make a point. A lesser man might have done such a thing. But what did you know about lesser men?

He continues the day by asking about you, the things that you like to do, what your home looks like, your favorite food. You answer his questions, thinking hard about how to respond. You tell him your favorite things to do, your knitting and embroidery, polite and respectable hobbies for a girl your age. You even get so excited as to show him a kerchief you had embroidered. He looks at you with his signature easy gaze and smile, petting your hair and making you shyly fold it into fours. You feel a child showing their favorite person their paper boat made from a newsprint.

“What about you?”

“What about me?” His fingers twitch but he forms a fist and lets it go when it happens again. He looks at you, hand on your thigh. You sit as husband and wife but tell each other things as if you've met at the approval of your parents.

“What do you like to do?” Like the questions you’ve asked him before, he’s almost excited to answer questions that you give him. Your desire to know more about him seems to liven him up in a way.

“Hm, like to read, I guess; write. Took a likin’ to drawin’,” his voice is raw and nervous, the first time you’ve seen him perhaps too far from what he feels is his element. “Guess you could say I like hunting but I do that cause I have to most of the time,” a slow nod shows your acceptance of his answer.

“What do you like to draw?” He seems even more bashful, you think he looks quite cute when he’s averting your eyes. He fumbles even more with his hands and fingers.

“People, places, lots of animals, plants. Used to go all over and draw anything I thought was interestin’. I don’t get out as much as I used to. Saw lots of odd things and strange people. You must think I’m a strange old pervert,” his chuckle is dry and humorless; for just a moment, he’s lucid about his own ideas of what he wants of you. Then he’s back to his own world, a world where he isn’t lonely anymore, perhaps. The corners of his lips turn up slightly, his fingers brush against your hair and then your cheeks, warm from the fire.

“I- I’m not sure what you are,” You whisper, too shy to look up at his doting and love sick smile. This situation might not be ideal. But somehow, the way he looks at you is so loving, you're not sure you can even see him hurting you gravely. Can see him doing as other men do.

“Your man, now, I guess,” he looks downward, at his hand drifting along your skin, a skiff on Flat Iron Lake. In his eyes is a small despair. An old longing that betrays all that he has done so far, the opposite of his lascivious desires from the night before. He’s Arthur but not, a different man who hardly remembers the other, the one who licked you and had you on his bed, made you beg for him. Then there’s that jaded and hardened man when he squeezes at the plumpness of you, no undergarments to protect you from his roaming touch.

Arthur pushes gently at your boundaries, enjoying the way you disquiet, your shy squirming. He revels in your reactions and the way you respond to him, whether you like it or not. He moves to take up more of your space, taking you down from his knee to lie down on the sofa.

“You make an old pervert like me feel like the only man in the world, sweetheart,” he’s kissing and kneading at you, like fresh made dough, sinking into softness. His fingers brush the most sensitive parts, making you jerk and laugh, even if you had no intention in doing so. Kisses on your stomach make you push at his head, trying to fight your body's will. Eventually, he relents. You sigh and ask without putting any thought behind it.

“Why are you- why do you wanna marry me? I don’t understand, I just met you…” The crackling fire and his breathing are all you can hear. Your brief respite in his play fighting and sweet words fades so quickly, it gives you whiplash. He sighs as well, as if thinking very hard.

“Couldn't help myself. Always had a habit of takin’ things that wasn’t mine. You walked in here, needin’ my help. Felt nice… to help; make myself useful. Haven't been no use to nobody in a long time,”

“And you were so goddamn pretty, like an angel walked through my door and you let me take your coat. Looked up at me with these eyes,” His fingers are gentle, roughened skin along the crease at the edge of your eye. His sweet words fade into his determination, his sureness for your future. “You needed me, could tell you needed me, needed somebody to make sure you didn’t go out alone in a goddamn blizzard,” His voice is embittered for a moment. You still have no idea what possesses a man to do such a thing; lock up a woman in his home to make her his wife.

“Lone wolves don't last long on the plains,” He mutters more to himself than you. You think that maybe he thinks of you both as two lost souls uniting with each other. Two lone wolves even though you had a family. Maybe he is right. If they hadn't told you to go out and get someone to help, this wouldn't be happening. You lament that you won't be there to help your grandmother but the storm would have prevented you anyway. Though not as bad as yesterday, it still blew enough to rattle the windows and the snow hadn't stopped. You're lucky that Arthur seems to be quite the homesteader. Even in your thoughts you are somewhat thankful for the safety he provides. Even still when you think about the price you’re paying for it.

Thanks for reading! Any feedback is appreciated !

Characters: Romeo, Leo, & Tohma 

Warning: cursing, seductive on Tohma’s part

 Word count: 2,066 words

Leo:

You knew you weren’t smart in the same way Leo is. However, you were still witty. Often when he would insult you. You manage to always have a comeback. This interaction would go different ways. One, Leo would actually get upset. Maybe mumble, “bitch” after you shut him up. Two, color him impress. He liked the interaction and would playfully bicker with you. Three, he would be caught off guard. It would take him a minute to think about what to do next. Then, a sinister smile takes place. Everyone knows, he is up to no good... 

So, what does he do next? He will do everything he can to get under your nerves. This dude loves to reactions you give him. Although, he finds himself more frustrated, rather than pleased. Why? 

Simple, you weren’t giving him the time of day. You were well aware of the type of person he is. He was basically those type people, who bullies others to get what they want. A pure bully.  

Often when he talked down to you. You would try to handle your anger. Though, as much as you hate to admit. There were times where Leo did hit a nerve. Leo knows what button to press. He often pressed them as many times as he could. But what happens when old tricks don’t work anymore?  

Leo would often insult your friends to get under your skin. Yet, when it didn’t work this time. It displeased him, he tsked as he watched you react to his words like it was nothing. So, he changed his approach. If insulting your friends won’t get your attention. Then maybe he needed to attack you personally?  

He started to insult how you dressed, what you would say in conversations, how you made a mistake on anything and so on and so on.  

Nothing worked, he balled his fist as steam of rage shoots out of his ears. Why don’t his tactics work? He complained over and over to Sho. His best friend grew tired of the constant complaints. Sho was at his wits end with his friend. So, he asked Leo why does he care so much? You were just an NPC, right? So, what is up with Leo being obsessive over you? 

First Leo was in denial. “Me? Obsessed over that NPC? Don’t be stupid.” For a while, he was in denial. He actually loved the witty comebacks you shot back at him. It was smart, creative, and it was like you were ready. There wasn’t a dull moment with you. As much as he hates to admit it to himself. He enjoyed being around you. 

After realizing what this meant. He now needs to figure out how to get your attention. So, the game began. He’ll find creative ways for you to speak to him. He wants you to bicker back and forth with him. But he wants to be on good terms with you too. Everyone knows an apology would work. He’s too prideful, that won’t work in his case. It was set, he was going to challenge you to a game. Loser takes the other on a date. Leo planned to win, and he did. 

Now you were aggravated about the date thing. But you knew Leo wasn’t going to let it go. Therefore, you invited him to the arcade. You challenged him to all of your favorites. Surprisingly, you both were having fun. By the end of the date. Leo asked, why were you ignoring him. 

“I did it because I knew it would trouble you, Leo.” He blinked, “Troubled him?” 

Now it dawned on him. You knew Leo hates to be ignored. So, you played him. Seeing him basically beg for your attention was your planned all along. In shocked and impressed, he looks over to you as you smirked cheekily at him. 

Boy did he fall hard for you.  

Leo have finally met his match. 

Romeo:

You and Romeo weren’t always on the same page. Often, he would yell at you when you don’t understand his abbreviations. When this would happen, you felt exhausted, how on earth were you supposed to know? Even though he would often abbreviate his speech. There were times you did understand what he was saying. You were a tad bit quicker than others in the room.  

When you are at the casino or his office. Romeo would demand you to do this and do that. You were deeply over it. So, to get back at him and make him possibly leave you alone. You came up with your own plan. While making errands for him. You would purposely take your time. He needs a certain document from Professor Hyde? Sure, you’ll get it for him. Although, you’re going to take your time. Oops! You showed up with the papers two hours late? He doesn’t want to hear any excuses. Not, that you had anything else to do. Jin, Leo, or anyone really bothered you that much today. 

If you were tasked to clean his office. You would purposely make even the tiniest mistakes. After observing him and his behavior. You completely knew how to set him off. Why can he clean up his own office? Or his own mess? Or anything really? Pretty boy s just spoiled rotten in your book. As you were cleaning the spilled sparkling wine. You “accidently” smothered it more on the floor. It had left a brutal tough stain. This annoyed him, he yelled at you to do your job correctly. While tilting your head to the side and blinked slowly. You acted innocent and dumb. “Like this?” you questioned him as you made the stain even worse. 

Boy, if looks could kill. You would’ve been dead by now. Romeo was red to the face, a thick vein popped out on his forehead, his hands balled up, and smoke coming out of his ears. He had enough of you. “Enough! How useless can you be!? You’re even worse than that TGA!” You fought hard to keep up the act and not smile or laugh. He takes the rag out of your hand and decided to clean up the mess himself. 

He grumbled on how everyone is stupid and useless. He tells you to get out as he cleans up. In your sweet fake upsetting tone. You spoke softly with a deep fake sigh, “Okay...” His back was facing you. Satisfied, by your work, seeing him on his knee cleaning his mess. You smirked and went home. 

Later on, Taiga went to look for Romeo. When he finds him, Romeo was still annoyed by the whole thing. “Lulu, what got you all angry? You’ll get wrinkles if you don’t relax~” Taiga teased. Romeo quickly turns around and tells him to shut up. “Honestly that new student is working on my last nerve! They can’t do anything right!” His rant goes on for quite a while. Romeo was now finished in his nicely cleaned room. He sat down on his couch and told one of the general students to get him a drink. Taiga, resting on the couch next to him was wearing a smirk on his face. 

“What is it TGA?!” Taiga had a small clue on what happened here. Kitty cat wasn’t a dumb little cat. Oh no, Kitty cat was a sneaky and slick kitten. Color him amused by the antics. “Are you sure they didn’t do this on purpose?” His words held a teasing tone. That is when it hit Romeo. You have purposely made him angry just so he would do his own work. He was angry, but maybe he was impressed too.  

You knew what cards to play. You have successfully won the game. 

Tohma:

This man is hard to break. He’s sharp, too sharp. Most people can’t even tell what he is thinking or what is his next move. You on the other hand love secrets and mysteries. He was a whole book of nothing, but wonders. You wanted to know if you can break him. Would he fall for your tricks? Or would he know your game play? Tohma was always a few steps ahead of anyone. That always felt like he was mocking you. So, it was decided. When you want something. You go and get it. There you were playing a game of chess with him. You have tried asking him questions about him and his personal life. Yet, he would advert the question or smoothly changed the question towards you. So, you changed tactics and asked him the same questions but in a different form. He saw right through it. Now you have to change to pace of the conversation. What do you do? Pick a habit that he does without realizing. Everyone does something without being fully aware. This will be an ice breaker. 

Little by little, you want to break that ice. Your eyes skim over his body to see if you can pick up on any type of body languages. You see his smirk as he plays the game. By looking into his deep sharp blue eyes. That when you began to speak once more. “You know there’s a saying about eyes being the window to the soul?” He hummed, “Yes I’ve heard of that.” 

“I bet I can guess something about you just by looking into your eyes.” You smiled confidently. Ignoring the game, you stand up and strut towards him. He entertained you by letting you come stand by his side. You take off his monocle glasses off and placed it into his breast pocket. When you took your hand out. You left your hand on his chest. One hand on his chest and your other taking his face. Looking deeply into his eyes. You noticed a tired look in his eyes. “You are an intelligent man. Everyone knows that, but you are kind. I can tell you have a deep soul too. You are also extremely handsome, but you feel lonely. Am I right?” You smiled playfully, he laughs lightly and takes your hand into his. “Fluttery will get you nowhere I'm afraid.” 

You giggled and moved to sit on his lap. “I’m only speaking the truth~” It was a bold move, but he did nothing to move you. There was tension in the air. Nothing negative, but something. You played with his hair as his hands rest on your hips. “It must be so hard doing what you need to do. I can’t imagine half of it really.” You spoke quietly to him. Your eyes were gentle and filled with worry. Moving your hand from his hair. You placed it back on his chest. “You really are handsome though. I’ve always had a think for blondes and blue eyes.” He hummed again as you began to move your hands up from his shoulders to his forearms. He was tonally built; you looked back into his eyes and noticed a cloudy hazy look in his eyes. He was feeling strangely hot and bothered. You leaned close to his ear with your arms wrapped around his neck. “What’s the matter handsome? You are all quite all of the sudden.” 

He gulped as quietly as he could, but man. You had a grip on him. He was deeply attracted to you, but didn’t have time to play your little games. Here he was with his guard down. He knew he shouldn’t have let you sit on his lap. But he wanted to see if you were brave enough to make such a bold move. And you did it. You leaned in as if you were going to kiss him. He also leaned in. 

*Ding Ding* 

It was his phone; Jin is calling on him. You removed yourself off his lap and teasingly smiled at him as his answered the call. While you can hear Jin on the other line. You placed your lips to the ear that was left open. You whisper softly, “I had fun playing, maybe next time you’ll will handsome~” Rubbing your hand his shoulder blade gently. You began to walk out of the vault. Swaying your hips side to side as he watched. 

Even the king’s right-hand man falls too.

I'm so sorry this too super long to write. I do hope it is to your liking. Thank you for being patient with me. Please like, comment or reblog. It helps a lot. Love you all my sweet starlings

[starrysharks]

these questions are pretty similar so i'll answer both at once.

to buy from a chinese indie brand, you need two things: the brand's taobao link and a proxy site account. taobao is a chinese storefront (?) that most of these stores are hosted on. there are plenty of western stores online that also carry taobao brand clothing - like arcana archive, glitch cupids, and pixie rebels - but i would recommend just getting your stuff from a proxy as those stores often up the prices of the clothes.

note that it can be a bit of a struggle to get the taobao link of a store, especially if you don't have an account (which is notoriously difficult to get these days), but i did find some link lists! (mostly lolita stuff as that's what taobao is most popular for among alt fashionistas ^_^)

some other brands that i recommend -

eyeelike - y2k inspired, though their stock is usually very limited. sizes up to UK 10-12 (L) i believe

link (lemme know if it's broken):

frufru - bright, colorful, sorta harajuku-esque! i heavily recommend their star messenger bags, been wanting to get one of my own for a while ^_^

link

and hbreaker - a more visual kei sort of thing! more edgy than the other two stores, but i'm yet to check it out properly

link

so, now that you have the link, you need a proxy site. this is so that you can send the clothes over from china to your own country. in the past, i would've recommended pandabuy, but it died a few months ago due to illegal replica selling. for that, i'd recommend avoiding proxies that allow replicas, because they might go under while you're trying to get clothes shipped. (that happened to me T_T)

some that are reliable are:

sugargoo

superbuy

spreenow

now all you do is use the search bar (make sure it's on the "shop" mode rather than "product"), and plug in the link to the shop you want to buy from, and it should be the first result. get all your clothes, and now all you have to do is have them shipped out! shipping usually costs a lot (£20+ from my experience) and if you're buying a haul, it can be over £200 for just 4-6 items, so i'd recommend only buying stuff you KNOW you're going to wear often and enjoy. shipping should only take 2-3 weeks (at least in my experience - i live in the UK, it might take more time in the US.) and boom! now you can dress like those cool girls on xiaohongshu!

there are also two western stores i'd like to go over that have similar clothes - sixth dimension and minga london.

sixth dimension has many good qualities - they have more inclusive sizing (up to UK XL), reasonable prices based on their quality, and they restock and do sales often. i heavily recommend them if you can't afford the high shipping prices or if the sizing is too limited for you!

unfortunately, i have less nice things to say about minga london. they're highly extortionate in terms of pricing - i've seen shein quality cardigans sold for upwards of £70, for example. they do drops often, and have been accused of fast fashion but i'm not sure if that's legit or not. they've also stolen designs in the past. however, they do have inclusive sizing, up to XXXL. i'd recommend only buying from them if they're doing a sale, or if you literally have no other choice.

now regarding fruits mag - unfortunately, you can't buy from them. fruits mag is a japanese magazine that went over a variety of different street styles, so if you want to buy from fruits, you'd have to buy from the brands that the people in the magazines are wearing. as fruits was most popular in the 2000s, most of those brands are defunct...however, i do have some recommendations for japanese alternative brands!

alice and the pirates - popular lolita fashion. pretty good sizing i think, and they do worldwide shipping too iirc.

baby the stars shine bright - same as aatp, but more "cutesy".

acdc rag - yami kawaii type clothes with inclusive sizing.

dearmylove - jirai kei/dark girly clothing and beautiful shoes. inclusive sizing, i'm pretty sure they have a full plus size range! also collabed with needy streamer overdose lol

liz lisa - lolita/mori kei/girly styles and pretty coats. quite expensive tho...

moi-meme-moitie - the brand of malice mizer's guitarist mana-sama! gothic lolita. i'm not sure about sizing or prices.

6%dokidoki - yume kawaii and decora style. very colorful! i'm not sure about sizing.

angel blue - japanese kids clothing, usually worn in general kawaii and jojifuku styles. as it's for kids, the sizing is NOT inclusive at all, UK size S-M at the most from what i've seen. usually you can only find resellers on depop, but the pricing usually isn't horrible.

other than brands, i'd recommend looking for clothes thrifting on and offline (hit big city thrift stores for better chances of alt clothing), buying accessories from verified etsy sellers, and just looking around the house for anything you can turn into an accessory or part of an outfit! i hope this post helps you though!

fashion snob talks about boynextdoor red carpet fashion because it's been 1,5 years and it hasn't hit yet

I've made similar posts to this last awards season because they were dressed similarly then, but I had hoped that in their second year, they would up the ante. They did not.

I understand that red carpet fashion doesn't hold the same weight as it does in the West. The performance outfits are more important than the red carpet outfits, so there's less attention placed on it.

But let's look at the MMA looks:

They're essentially wearing the same outfit. There are differences in blazer style and shirt style, but it's the same fabric, the same classic cut. It's copy paste six times.

And if this group was known for their classic style, Hollywood concept, then I'd be fully behind this. But they're freaking boynextdoor. Where's the personality? Where's the fun? They all have such distinct POV's, but that is invisible here.

If any of them would wear such a classic suit, it would be Sungho. But that's it.

Anyway, I think they can still look dressed up and form a cohesive picture, but also showcase their different personalities and personal styles. So here are some options:

a - Pyer Moss SS20, "American, Also; Lesson 3."

These two sets are from Pyer Moss' collection inspired by the mother of rock, Rosetta Tharpe. The first is a leather co-ord and the second is a suit in a bright blue colour and guitar-shaped lapels.

With Taesan's affinity to classic rock and older American music, I think something like this would reflect him very well. These would obviously be used as base layers and then be dressed up in that quintessential bonedo style.

b - Thom Browne (custom, 2023)

This was worn by Daniel Ricciardo for the Met Gala 2023.

Obviously, none of these boys are getting custom TB any time soon, but something off the rack TB would work perfectly for Sungho. Known for his suiting, tailoring, and his love for the female/male form, Thom Browne would look great on Sungho and compliment his physique.

c - Wales Bonner SS20 Menswear / Marni 2024 RTW

First two images are from the SS20 menswear collection of Wales Bonner, third image is current RTW from Marni. All very different looks, but all three possessing a quirkiness and slight vintage feel in the cut of the suits. The Wales Bonner suits are inspired by the 70s, while the baggy plaid suit from Marni clearly references the 80s.

Someone like Leehan, who has a very distinct personality and also loves older music, could pull off a look like this.

d - Kenzo SS25

All three looks are from KENZO SS25, which is a French-Japanese house under the creative direction of Nigo. Since his direction, he's being using a lot of Japanese denim to create his collection and has been doing a diligent job at combining Western and Eastern sensibilities in his clothing. For a group that's heavily inspired by the West, I feel like this brand works well for them.

I've sourced these looks for both Jaehyun and Woonhak. Considering Jaehyun is the leader and Woonhak is the maknae still figuring out himself and his personal style (evident by the fact that's he's constantly borrowing his members' clothes), I think it would be quite neat if they matched a little bit. The younger brother following the older brother.

e - Bottega Veneta FW RTW '23 / SS RTW '22 / FW '22

All three looks are from Bottega Veneta but from different collections. The first is a sleek matte black trousers and shirt set, the second is a leather-that-looks-like-denim set, and the third is a knit sweater and red leather trousers.

Riwoo is the trickiest one because he knows and understands fashion, but I settled on this. It's chic, but not too off the rails, with luxurious fabrics that elevate the look and doesn't need much accessorizing. I've noticed Riwoo looks best in simpler looks and easily gets overpowered by frivolous details, so the simplicity of BV would work for him.

As you can tell, I've strayed away from the typical brands worn by idols (Burberry, Celine, YSL, Louis Vuitton, Gucci), because I'm tired by how uninspired it is. Hope this was more exciting.

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts and what you would want to see the boys in!

[whentherewerebicycles]

hello dear Jes, I am all out of good meal ideas!! I’m always in awe of your drive to cook and the great-looking meals you create. Any good recs for yummy and relatively easy / quick recipes? thank u 🙏

hello!! yes here are some very easy, low effort low prep recipes i love. the bolded ones are the ones i find myself making most often when i am like wow i do NOT want to cook but if i must do so, i wish to make the easiest thing ever.

shakshuka (all recipes are basically the same! i make it with canned tomatoes to cut down on prep, add a sliced jalapeno to make it spicier, and top it with feta and cilantro. if you are not crazy about eggs my sister often makes it with chickpeas and no eggs!)

thai peanut noodles (you can make as-is but i often add roasted broccoli and air fryer tofu if i have time!)

ricotta pasta with roasted broccoli and chickpeas (i roast the broccoli rather than broiling it as i am afraid of broiling lol but it's very easy and delish)

creamy corn pasta (my beloved)

spaghetti with onion-"bacon", corn, and basil

roasted sweet potato tacos (roast sweet potatoes, warm black beans on the stove with spices, and make easy quick-pickled onions if i have time - then you can add avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and any other toppings you like!)

potato egg and cheese breakfast tacos (i roast or air-fry small-cubed potatoes, scramble eggs, melt cheese into the eggs, and top with the salsa of your choice!)

migas breakfast tacos

tortellini with pesto and roasted veggies

caprese toasts (toast bread of your choice, then add pesto, sliced mozzarella, sliced cherry tomatoes, basil if you have it, and balsamic glaze... my all-time fave easy/no-cook meal)

pesto pasta with frozen peas (another super easy one i make when i want to barely cook at all - you boil the frozen peas in the pasta pot for the last three minutes of the pasta's cook time. then add pesto, grated parmesan, a squeeze of lemon, and halved cherry tomatoes if you have them)

easy asparagus soup (thinly slice a leek and cut 1-2 bunches of asparagus into half inch pieces. melt 3 TBS of butter in your pot, then saute the leek plus 5-6 cloves of garlic for 8 min. add asparagus pieces and 4-6 cups of veggie stock, bring to a boil, salt and pepper, and simmer for 30 min. transfer it all to a blender and blend, then add 1/4th cup grated parmesan and the juice of half a lemon. serve with crusty croutons and sliced chives)

roasted sweet potato & figs dish (you can also make with dried dates if you can't find figs!)

easy chana masala

nectarine, arugula, and feta salad (best in the summer when it's nectarine season but delish all year round... you can also use peaches. i usually serve it on a bed of quinoa so it's more filling/more of a main dish. the basil dressing is to die for i could eat it with a spoon)

avocado & egg sandwich (you can make this on a bagel, english muffin, or bread... just toast your bread, mash avocado onto the bread & sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and then scramble or fry eggs to your liking and put on top)

Dinner Recipe: Gyros

TIME: ★★★✰

PRICE: ★★★✰

EASE: ★★★✰

CLEANUP: ★★★✰

This is another recipe that can vary dramatically in ease and time depending on how involved you want to be with it!

At its core, it's: season and cook meat, make sauce, chop veg, put in pita. Done. That takes about 15-20 minutes. This is an amalgamation of several gyro recipes I've tried to make a good at-home version. It'll never be as good as the family-run Greek restaurant, but it's pretty darn good!

(I HIGHLY recommend making your own pitas once you get comfy with it- it's just WAY tastier! Here is the Easy Pita Bread recipe I use! But store-bought works just fine! )

Ingredients: 1. 1 lb Ground Meat (I typically use a 50/50 mix of lamb and turkey because lamb is EXPENSIVE. You can totally use just ground turkey, ground beef, or even sliced up chicken breast if you want! Just be sure to season it!) 2. 1/3rd cup Greek Yogurt 3. 1 TB minced Garlic 4. Oregano, Salt, Pepper to taste 5. Veggies of choice (I use: spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini.) 6. Pitas -Heat a frying pan on medium with some olive oil (1 TB or whatever you use to lube your pan) -Mix your yogurt, garlic, and seasonings into the ground meat. Using your hands is probably the best method but I am a baby and use a fork or wooden spoon. -Press your ground meat into the pan in one big meat patty. Let it cook like that until one side gets nice and brown (if using pieces of chicken, just cook your chicken in the yougurt marinade) -Flip it over in chunks. This keeps it from getting a super 'ground meat' texture and feels more like strips/cuts of meat. Let it brown on the other side. -Once the meat is thoroughly cooked (feel free to break some chunks up to check), slice your veg, make your sauce, put everything on the pita! Done! Easy "Tzatziki Sauce" I don't add the cucumbers to the sauce because it takes a ton of extra time. This way only takes a minute or two and you can just add sliced cucumbers to your gyro later! 1. 1/2 cup PLAIN Greek yogurt (the amount of times I've accidentally grabbed vanilla greek yogurt from the store is absurd.) 2. 1/2 TB Minced Garlic 3. Oregano, Salt, Pepper to taste 4. 1/2 TB Lemon Juice -Mix everything together. Taste test it to make sure it's salty/garlicy enough. If it's too salty, add a little more yogurt.

This will DEFINITELY make multiple servings of meat. One of my favorite things to do with leftovers is to put the meat and veg on a salad and use the tzatziki as a dressing. It's SUPER good.

Today on my tbs server, we discussed what it might have been like if Damien had actually shown typical affects of the Traumatic Brain Injury he sustained on the show, so I whipped up this quick drawing of some of the ideas we came up with! Details below the cut

1. Rollator! For those who don't know, a rollator is a type of walker that contains a seat so you can sit down when needed. For this version of Damien, we discussed him dealing with dizzy spells, fatigue, seizures, or fainting spells, all of which would make having a rollator very important.

2. Service Dog! Bruce (named after Batman) is a big, black Newfoundland service dog, one specifically trained for detecting seizures and fainting spells. He alerts Damien when he needs to sit down and is trained to find someone to call for help in case of emergencies. Otherwise, he sticks close to Damien's side and makes sure he stays safe.

3. Adaptive Clothing! We discussed how Damien might have trouble with coordination and motor skills post-TBI, so he is wearing some clothes specifically designed to make dressing easier. His hoodie has a magnetic zipper, so it can be zipped one-handed. His pants are stretchy and have a snap and zipper closure on the hip to make dressing easier, though we also talked about him wearing skirts bc they're easier to wear. His shoes are styled after BILLY brand shoes, they have a zipper that goes all the way down and around the toe, so he can just set his foot in them, then zip them up, without dealing with sliding or laces.

4. In his bag, I included migraine meds and noise cancelling headphones for sensory needs. I imagine he could also carry sunglasses, chewelry, or anything else he might need on the regular.

Thanks for reading!

Caesar salad review 4: Homemade caesar dressing

My mom mentioned to me that she had a really good homemade caesar salad recently so we asked her friend for the recipe and decided to make it tonight.

The recipe is as follows:

1 egg yolk

1/2- 1 tbs anchovy paste (we didn’t have this and it isn’t necessary to add)

1 lemon juiced

1 tsp of pepper

2-3 garlic cloves

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1/4th a cup of red wine vinegar

1/2 cup of olive oil added as you blend

and just a bit of worcestershire sauce

We also added some parmesan cheese because come on. Cheese.

I thought this dressing was amazing. The only thing we wished we had was the ability to make it more creamy. The flavor is good, it’s a bit tangy but it was still really really good. I think the anchovy paste would have made it better honestly.

The croutons we had were cheese crisps since my dad is on keto and croutons are a slippery slope. I thought they worked great for this salad. We also added some bacon, giving it a slightly savory taste as well.

I went back for seconds and would consider this an absolute win. Total score of 7.5/10

[iwillpretenddontknow]

Describe your dream girl

I had to think about this one for a while. I think had this been asked to me a few years ago, I would have a different answer.

Physically, I don't think that I have specific things in mind like hair color or eye color or height. Realistically the first thing I notice about a girl is her eyes and/or smile. I have a weakness for a nice smile and pretty eyes. I also tend to notice tattoos or a nice butt, I promise I wasn't looking.

Interest wise, I used to think I'd already need to have alot in common with someone. I don't think that now. I think that may have come from trust issues and like needing a lot of common ground for me to trust. I actually really like hearing about new things and I really enjoy the excitement someone has when they talk about an interest or hobby. It could be something I may not be into or maybe not know about. But I really appreciate someone introducing me to new things or the thought of here this thing I like and I think you may like it too.

Personality wise, I tend to like girls with a corny sense of humor, makes puns, who also doesn't mind poking fun at me. I'm someone who tends to come off as dry at times. And truthfully I can be, I've been told that my first impression is very different from how I am once you get to know me. I feel like eventually I become a lot more outgoing but usually somewhere more in the middle of dry and very chatty outgoing and very jokey? I feel from experience, I always tend to work better or be myself more around people who are less serious, despite me coming off as more serious at first? Does that make sense?

I am/was an emo kid so I think my dream girl would at least have to know the music to be able to sit through me still liking 90% of the music I used to like. My chem, TBS and Brand new if you absolutely don't want to listen to all of the other bands, those 3 are heavily still played by me.. and if you will do either the Adam or Fred parts to Taking back Sunday song with me, I'd fall head over heels.

But if she also dresses in mostly black or band shirts that's a plus. (I literally said like a paragraph ago that she didn't have to like the same bizarro crap I do and now I'm typing things I like that I hope she likes)

Yes that was a reference to a movie. I do that from time to time, so I hope that she can please put up with me recognizing an actor that was in that one show or quoting a line from a TV show. I also just ask that she be open to watching x-files.

I think that's it...

Wait she to like Pizza. Actually we can talk it. It's not the deal breaker it used it. I'm kidding it was never a deal breaker. I just used to eat it a lot more. This is trying to be funny and probably failing.

I feel like I've wrote a lot and probably said very little.. I'm very curious who asked this. I also feel like disappointed who ever did. Lol should I been more specific about physical traits?

I feel like this is long enough already. Feel free to ask on anon or off.

I was low-key obsessed over in freshman year, I miss it so much 😰 there were 3 guys that were very open abt having crushes on me in different ways (3 is a big number)— one random guy stared at me when I was introducing myself to his friends at their table n even after the attention was moved off of me he was stil staring hard TT。he took a pic of my school ID too, that was weird but it made me excited at the time :/ another guy who I thought was cute but was taken also spent the entire school year staring at me in both classes we had。in math he sat in the middle of the classroom but I sat in front to the right of the room。everyday he’d whip his head like ever 10 seconds n I thought he was lookin at the girl next to me but he was getting real bold n staring even more in history🪆I glanced at him one day and caught him looking up over someone’s shoulder at me it IT WAS SO STRANGE I couldn’t believe it ++ his gf was yelling at him for something (?) not rlly yelling—but she was obviously mad。why tf was he giving me heart eyes he wasn’t even paying attention to her｡ && the third guy supported trump n he dressed like someone’s dad from the 50s n that was kind of a red flag 2 me 💔 (b4 the trump part) but he was the most open about being in love with me, he would be smiling n his cheeks would be pink when we quietly walked together to n from class and 5 minutes after walking me outside he’d text me on snap tb he missed me😖

1990s Downtempo Playlist

Last week I had a little update for my 1990s drum n bass playlist, which featured a song by a guy named Dominic Glynn, who you probably don't know by name, but whose work you've definitely heard before. His career is basically two-pronged: he's an underground electronic music producer who goes by the name of Fluid, and he also formed half the duo of Syzygy as well, whose 1994 LP, Morphic Resonance, is reputed to be the stuff of legend.

But Glynn is also a prolific composer for film and TV too. He's made music for Doctor Who, American Idol, The Apprentice, The Simpsons, Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, SpongeBob SquarePants, MTV Cribs, Ricki Lake, My Super Sweet Sixteen, and many other productions.

So, now I'm back this week with another Glynn banger to add to this growing 90s downtempo playlist of mine. This song's called "Spitting Sand," and it's a mix of trip hop, eastern flute, and some squelchy Roland TB-303 acid too 😌. Originally released in '96, it found its way onto UK budget label Dressed to Kill's 1997 quadruple-disc compilation, Amberdelic Space II: Angel of Ecstasy. Overall, I don't really vibe to most of that release's mystic-psychedelic electronic theme, but since it's four discs long, I was still bound to find some goodies on it, and this happens to be one of them.

"Spitting Sand" doesn't appear to be very well known either. It has under 1,000 plays on Spotify and only over 900 on YouTube across its couple uploads. It's a great, overlooked mid-90s chillout groove, as far as I'm concerned.

Fluid - "Spitting Sand"

I also added this song to the YouTube version of the playlist as well, which has a lot more 90s downtempo tunes on it than the Spotify one does, because a lot of the tunes that I want to add just aren't on Spotify at all.

And the playlist is on YouTube Music too, if that's your preferred platform.

So, here's where things currently stand: we've got 34 songs on the Spotify playlist, which totals 3 hours and 35 minutes, and we've got 57 songs on the YouTube one, which totals *6 hours and 15 minutes*. So, a whole lot more rare and unknown goodies in that YouTube one to chew on.

And I'm still, really, only just getting started with this whole thing 😅. There's so much fantastic and ephemeral and slept-on downtempo from this decade that's out there that I need to show you all.

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

Like what you hear? Follow me on Spotify and YouTube for more cool playlists and uploads!
