Prologue

(idk if posting on my phone makes the format look weird but if so please lmk. If you want to be added to the taglist lmk also!)

chapter 1

You stroll into the small diner as if you have been there hundreds of times, due to the fact because you have. It is your first and only choice of a lunch date location with your dear friend, Eliza. You would say it is because it’s because it has the best food and the desserts are to die for, but it’s really because of how affordable it is. Despite the food being subpar, the diner is still very cozy and the waitstaff is friendly whenever you dine there. The place isn’t very busy today, with only an elderly couple and a young lady studying in the right corner being the other people.

You hardly need to scan the room before you see her in the far left corner, sipping quietly on her latte. You grin at the sight of the back of her unruly blonde hair and as quietly as possible, creep over to her. As you get closer you notice she has her headphones on, blinding her to any noise approaching her.

Perfect.

A hand quickly grasps her shoulder and she curses loudly, accidentally spilling a bit of her drink onto the table.

“Shit! Why! Why did you do that?”

You giggle and slide into the booth across from her, grabbing napkins and cleaning as you go.

“You make it easy,” you respond nonchalantly.

“No, you’re just a fucking ninja.”

“I don’t need to be a ninja to sneak up on someone who is making themselves deaf.” You respond eyebrow raised. She rolls her eyes and shrugs off her headphones. “So, what did you want to tell me about?” you question.

“What, no greetings? Hi, how are you, my darling friend?”

“I think we are beyond that point if we’re being honest. Besides, we were on the phone on my drive over here.”

“What I wanted to talk to you about was-“

Moving on then, I see.

“-you do not have to pay rent during your trip next week.”

You pause, interest immediately piqued. This could go one of two ways. One, the most probable answer, she has come up with one of her outlandish plans that we both know hold no real meaning to them, just to entertain you. Or, there’s a small chance it could be option two. She actually has found a valid, soundproof way to save you hundreds on hotel fees.

“… I’m listening.”

“I knew you would be,” She quips with a cheeky smile. “So you know my totally loser brother? The one who lives in England?”

Ah, yes. Adam. Her weirdo brother who chose to make bombs as a career. Not the most friendly or stable man you’ve met, but hey family is family.

“Don’t tell me you want me to stay with him. I think I would rather get shot down in a plane than have to converse with him for longer than an hour.” You groan and rest your face into your hands.

“Nooo, I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemies. Yuck. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, he’s going out of the country for a month or so, to Germany. Sooo…?”

“...So? I don’t see how this correlates.”

“Seriously?! You can stay at his place while he’s gone. Duh!”

“Hmmm… no.”

“Wha- no!? You can’t just say no! I already told him you would.“ Eliza starts raising her voice, accidentally attracting the attention of the student in the other corner. The lovely elderly couple either don’t notice or don’t seem to mind.

“Why in the WORLD would you do that? And lower your voice!”

“Because he wanted me to house-sit for him, and what’s the difference between me and you sitting in an empty cabin for a few weeks? Plus, not only is it not costing you money, you get PAID to stay there.”

Damn. She’s got you there. You sigh and rub your temples, feeling a migraine coming on.

“Okay, let me get this straight. I can just fly over there, live in your brother's cabin for up to a MONTH, for FREE, and get paid to do it. But he thinks it’s you staying there?”

“Yeah, but I mean a body’s a body,” she shrugs.

“Huh. I don’t know, Liz. This feels weird. “

“It’s not weird, I swear. I wouldn’t put you in a weird situation and we both know it. “

She does have a point, but you can’t shake the feeling that something unexpected is going to occur during your stay. Still, that could just be the nerves getting to you. This could be a really fun opportunity! You get to lay back and enjoy the nice open countryside, all by your lonesome.

“Okay, say it hypothetically agree. Where would I get a key to his place?” you question. “It seems suspicious to ask him to copy a key for me to use.”

“Just use mine. I had one made during my last stay, I’m pretty sure he knows about it. Like, 87 percent sure.”

You sigh. You can’t comprehend that she had a plan that made logical sense, let alone convinced you to go along with it.

“Okay. I’ll stay there.”

Yes! Let’s fucking go! We are going somewhere nice to dinner with the house-sitting money, by the way. “

You just smile and shake your head in return.

———

The day of your trip finally arrives and everything is going relatively smoothly. Although you about had 5 heart attacks every time you couldn’t feel your passport in your pocket, you landed in one piece. The flight was long and boring, but you had Chappell Roan and Podcasts downloaded to listen to. The drunk guy sitting next to you did end up spilling water on you, of course. Just your luck.

Nonetheless, your mood was sky-high. Months of planning and preparation have gone into this, and it better be everything you expected and more. Or else some tea is going in the damn harbor. You decided against using transport services mainly because of how remote Adam’s cabin was, it would be extremely tedious just to get a ride to go grocery shopping. Instead, you went with renting a vehicle. Sure, you initially entered the wrong side of the car and almost caused an accident or two, but hey! Nobody’s perfect.

You finally, FINALLY, pull into the small gravel driveway. There are hardly any neighbors around, the closest probably being a mile or two away, so you don’t feel self-conscious about your parking job. You inspect the cabin as you heave your luggage out of the car and onto the front porch.

It was a fairly large log cabin with a second story and a garden in the back. There were hardly any cobwebs on the porch, and the cabin looked well taken care of. The garden seemed to have a selection of different vegetables, but not any flowers. Figures, Adam was the kind to say taking care of flowers was a waste of time and energy. As you put Eliza’s spare key into the door knob, you felt a rush of excitement. You couldn’t wait to just do whatever you want for a few weeks. You turn the key and push the door open.

𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙧?

You promised yourself you wouldn’t laugh but…

“HEY! WHO THREW THAT?!”

  …it was just too funny.

  You’re standing outside and you’re smiling so wide that your cheeks start to burn. But you know that the cold has a lot to do with that too. Even as you try your best to stifle your giggles, a little puff of air would pass through your lips- showing up in a wispy white cloud in front of your mouth. It disappears before anyone but you could notice, but you know you’re all too distracted with the hilarious sight of a flailing blonde prodigy screaming and shouting about the snowball that had just made contact with his cheek. 

  Truthfully, it was Ed’s idea to have you and Alphonse visit North City during his time off at Central. It started with you making an offhanded comment about how you always found the pictures of North City blanketed in a deep layer of snow to be extremely beautiful. It was then followed up by an absent remark about how you didn’t think you’ll ever make it up there. And for you, that was fine. A little disappointing, but you knew you could live a perfectly normal, happy,  fulfilling  life if you never made it up to the northern part of the country. But Ed- who a little too conveniently heard you- was having none of that.

  So with his deep pockets and more than generous attitude when it comes to you, you found yourself with a new, perpetual winter-ready wardrobe and a round-trip ticket to North City with Ed and Al as your dutiful escorts. And so far, it’s been a dream come true. The ride was smooth. The city was gorgeous. The lodgings were perfect, the people were friendly, the food was delicious, and the spirits were high. But now…

  “Oh, brother!” Al begins with a voice laced with an equal amount of guilt and laughter as he has the audacity to try to look around as if  he  wasn’t the culprit the entire time. His obviously over-theatrical movements accompanied by a more than dramatic shrug had you struggling to keep your laughter to a minimum all over again. “Hmmm, I don’t know who could have possibly thrown that at-”

  “STOP LYING, IT’S WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE!”

  At Ed’s second outburst in less than a minute, you folded. Your soft snickers turned into full-on full-body giggles and laughs as you doubled over and held your stomach. It takes only mere seconds for Alphonse to join you, barely being able to keep it in himself. And the sound of his joy- unkempt and free- easily has tears welling up in your eyes as you find yourself laughing impossibly harder at this impossibly silly moment you get to witness between two of the most mature brothers you had ever seen. That was, until…a snowball landed right in the middle of Al’s forehead.

   With enough force to knock the boy down, down, and  down.

  Immediately after hearing Al’s exclamation of surprise as his body hit the snow-covered ground, the three of you fell into a tense silence. Your eyes turned over to look at the older of the two brothers. Ed’s arm was still extended as if he were a picture frozen in time, mere seconds after the ball had left his hands. You didn’t dare move. Your mind wouldn’t allow you to. Your body wouldn’t allow you to. You were afraid of facing the same wrath as poor Al over there who still hadn’t recovered from his brother’s vicious snowball attack. And you had every right to be  afraid . Especially now that Ed had woken up from that spell that had left him frozen in the air. 

  Especially now that Ed turned his glare in your direction.

  You let out a squeak of surprise once you finally noticed the intense gaze focused on yourself. Furrowed brows, a twisted frown, and a body now turning slowly, slowly, slowly towards yours. It was now a stand-off. You couldn’t afford to take your eyes off of his for a moment. Not to check for an escape route. Not to check for any backup. Not even to check up on Alphonse. You hoped and you prayed to whatever deity there was- that he would ensure your safety from this moment onward. That he would ensure that you would live to see another day. That he would ensure that at the very least- Edward would go easy on you.

  But Ed didn’t give you time to pray. Ed didn’t give you time to worship or bargain or protest or reason with him. Because before you knew it…

  “Edward, no!”

  …he was sprinting full force in your direction.

  You turned on your heel and booked it as fast as you could. You know you couldn’t outrun him. You don’t know why you even tried. Perhaps it had to do with your human nature. The desire to give into our innate design. The desire to find a way to live. Or perhaps it more so had to do with just how  scary  Ed looked in those two seconds you saw of him kicking up snow and breaking out in a sprint toward you. Whatever it was, doesn’t really matter now. All that mattered was just how far your boots could take you. And just how fast they could do it. Your life was on the line here. You better fight for it. 

  You’re dashing off in a random direction. Behind you, you hear Alphonse call out your name and tell you to run faster. You take the little brother’s words to heart as your push past the cold wind and your burning lungs. If you’re quick enough you could duck behind a nearby building and wrap around the side before returning to where you started. Maybe that could allow you enough confusion to get Al and to take him with you! Or maybe it wouldn’t. Either way, you had to try to save him while you were still ahead. You were the only thing that you both had left in this fight. The only one still standing. The only one left untouched. The only one who could stand up to him and to-

  The feeling of another body crashing into yours was so unbelievably sudden that you could have toppled over if it weren’t for the heavyweight behind you. 

  This time, you couldn’t help but let out a shriek as arms circle your waist from behind and squeeze tight. In your mind, you’re mourning your epic loss. Hoping that Al could hear your mental calls for forgiveness that you were caught and failed to avenge him. But out loud, you’re still fighting. Squirming and squealing and calling for him to let you in between the little barks of laughter that you just can’t contain. 

  “Surrender!” He tells you in between labored breaths and his own puffs of laughter, a slight faux smugness dripping from his voice. The arms around pull you closer to his front- giving you a taste of the warmth you could enjoy if you just gave in to him and apologized for ganging up with his brother. But you already made your decision. “Surrender and I’ll be kind. I’ll be merciful. ” 

  You made it when you decided to laugh at him. 

  “Hmm…never.”

  You made it when you decided to run from him.

  “Then you shall feel the wrath of the great Fullmetal Alchemist!”

  You made it when you decided to  love  him.

  “Bring it, shortie .”

  “HEY, WHO YA CALLING SO SMALL YOU WANNA CRUNCH LIKE A TINY LITTLE ANT!”

  Even with his quirks and all.

🥳 🦈 💛 for the ask game!! 👀✨️

🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?

If I'm being brutally honest it really was because of covid LOL. 2020 was a real shitshow because my country (and pretty much the rest of the world) went into a really strict lockdown the day I graduated university and effectively thwarted all my hopes of celebrating with friends and going on grad trips. my bf and I were especially bummed because he'd gotten a fully-sponsored 3-month internship at The Hague and it would've been my first time in Europe, so I ended up coping by writing fic and making friends here -- which, in hindsight, turned out to be the best thing ever because everyone here has been nothing but lovely, especially you!!! 💛💛💛

🦈 Which character is the toughest to write?

HMMM probably Riza tbh. at risk of oversharing I can deeply relate to the whole daddy/mommy (?) issues thing but also I am anything but disciplined and strict irl. like if Riza could appear irl and whoop my ass into waking up and getting to work and completing what needs to be done on time I would be eternally grateful. ya gurl here has zero discipline and should literally be studying instead of lurking around on this hellsite but alas... here I am, a master at procrastination!!

💛 What is the most impactful lesson you’ve learned about writing?

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect." (Anais Nin)

if anything, writing is free therapy -- it has helped me so much in processing grief and unravelling entangled memories that I don't speak much about, and also appreciating the present. I live for those moments where I can amble leisurely along rusted leaves and sit on a bench and write about how lucky I am to simply be alive :'')

thanks for the ask, my friend!! I hope you have the loveliest weekend ahead *hugs* sending you all my love 💛💛💛 (yellow hearts for the most radiant ray of sunshine!!!)

Get to know me

I've been tagged in three separate memes with that title by @timaeusterrored and @katsigian, thanks a lot for thinking of me! :D For brevity's and simplicity's sake I'm just gonna throw all of them together in one post ~ Won't be tagging anyone in particular, but if you read this and feel inclined to share some stuff about yourself, pick and choose from the questions listed here and feel free to tag me in your posts! :D

Favorite color: Purple, Turquoise, and Black

Relationship: single

Currently reading: when I'm not re-reading my own stuff for editing purposes, I currently just really enjoy reading everyone's Cyberpunk drabbles and OC lore posts because I live for that stuff! for having been a very bookish kid I don't really read much anymore admittedly D:

Last song Played: "A Dialogue In B Flat Minor" by In Flames (it's on my V playlist and a very Vince and Johnny song to me XD)

Song Stuck in my Head: "Gloves" by Saint Punk (I'm obsessed with it because it fits Vince so much and I'm working on something inspired by it)

Last Movie: oooof... I think it was "The Shawshank Redemption", I was recently in the mood of rewatching some 90s classics while drawing!

Last series: If youtube series count, I'm currently rewatching Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime for the 11th or so time XD I've loved true crime stuff for as long as I can remember and BFU is also just really nice as background noise for when I'm working on something for a few hours at a time. Looking forward to diving into Mystery Files xD (the last "actual" series I watched before that was "Better Call Saul", rewatched it from start to finish in English for the first time xD)

Sweet, spicy, or savory: ooohhh hmmm.... dammit, I guess I'm too much of a sweet-tooth to not pick sweet xD

Favourite Food: Pizza with lots of different cheeses

Craving: to quit my dayjob, because objectively, it would just be really fucking funny to do. We're chronically understaffed and simultaneously also being forbidden overtime to catch up on the backlog, so it's just extremely exhausting at the moment.

Tea or coffee: Coffee, but tea is nice too :3

Dream Trip: everywhere... but my top 3 are Japan, Iceland, and Canada. I'd love to go to Japan during cherry blossom season, spend one week in all the big cities and another more on the countryside, going hiking, looking at temples, forests, and spending a day or two at a ryokan with onsen. Iceland I'd also like to see as much of as possible, I'd actually love to do a guided tour on horseback across the country xD And honestly, same for Canada (without the horses though), also a trip across the country visiting all kinds of sights and cities along the way would be awesome.

Last Thing I Googled: 2023 Conventions Germany

Currently working on: the final stages of my new Kerry x V drawing, editing some VP shoots, writing Vince's background lore fic (6 chapters done, about 6 more to go!), started writing a post-canon fic (but only have a few paragraphs), and my ongoing Cyberpunk 2077 Let's Play videos XD cause I always wanted to make a full Let's Play like that and given my current obsession it works. Looming on the horizon are also some short comics and ideas for mods and even more VP!

Are you named after Anyone?

After an OC of mine, if we go with Elven as the name I'm predominantly using atm XD Long story short, but "Elvenbeard" was an elf OC I once cosplayed as and who got his name from a friend of mine during a very long and funny train ride to the convention we were headed to. Good times XD

2. When was the last time you cried?

A couple of days ago. I think it was a mix of stress and having too many feels about Kerry xD

3. Do you have kids?

Nope, and don't want any. Unless pets count.

4. Do you use Sarcasm a lot?

I would never do such a thing.

5. What Sports do you play/ have you played?

None xD I was the short fat kid that got relentlessly bullied by my PE teacher for years which completed ruined any interest in sports I might have ever developed.

6. What's the first thing you notice about other people?

Honestly... I think I've gotten quite good at picking up people's vibes first. Picked up a very bad "stay-far-away-from-them" vibe from someone a couple of days ago, and when I met them again a little while later one of the first things out of their mouth is transphobic bullshit. I (sadly) felt rather validated with my first impression.

7. Eye Colour?

Hazel.

8. Scary Movies or Happy Endings?

Both can be good! I don't like overly gory movies or stuff that relies heavily on jump scares, but a scary film with a good story and some unexpected twists I really like (some of my faves being "Hush" and "The Conjuring"). I'm also a sucker for Happy Endings though. Best thing overall? Angst with a Happy Ending.

9. Any Special Talents?

Does hyperfocus count as a special talent these days? XD

10. Where were you born?

Somewhere in rural Germany.

11. What are your hobbies?

Yes... Drawing, writing, sewing, crafting, cosplay, gaming... and the newest addition: virtual photography!

12. Do you have any pets?

Yess, a cat!

13. How tall are you?

160cm/ 5'2 - smol and full of rage

14. Fave Subject in School?

Art, History, and English as a secondary language

15. Dream Job?

Creating things that make people happy and being able to live off of it ooooor anything that allows me to finance that kinda "maker of all kinds of things" lifestyle I'm dreaming of. Ideally, if I have to keep a dayjob, I'd like one that only takes place in the timespan of Monday to Thursday, or Tuesday to Friday, and doesn't start at 5.30 in the morning, but at 9 or 10. Or just generally the option of home office would be nice. I don't wanna be rich, but I'd like to have financial security for myself and my cat, enough time to do my silly little arts and crafts, and travel somewhere cool once a year or so.

[doctor-cherrys-office]

What's your favorite part about your job?

"My favorite part of my job, hmmm"

"There are a few things I enjoy about this job. Free access to the fights, sometimes the league pays for my trips across the world if a championship is held somewhere in a different country or state. The off seasons are like their own personal vacation too. Ironic since during the off season I work as an ER doctor and on the rare occasion, a general practitioner. That said, MVBA's lax dress code is a bonus"

"But while I may complain about it, I do enjoy helping the boxers out. Despite all their flaws, they are fun people to work with. I always have to keep track of everything and I consider it a blessing the boxers are to the point with their injuries, ready to report what is wrong, what's broken, if something seem off and more. Plus there is a bonus of not having to guess HOW they got hurt in the first place"

"...usually"

"HEY! I told you to keep your head tilted upwards. You are the idiot who decided to pick a fight and get his nose broken. Don't you huff at me!"

"..ugh...but then sometimes I am reminded its like herding cats, and by that point I think I would prefer to be a official cat herder"

[reverie-starlight]

😜🤩😗 with Hawks?

ty for sending these in!!! I’ve already done 😙 with hawks so I’ll leave that one out.

feel free to ask more !!!!!

😜: who cooks and who burns the food?

hmmm we both cook and both burn, but I think I’m slightly better at it than him. in my self ship with him, I’m not a pro hero, I’m still a regular university student/part-time employee til graduation, so my skills are basic but evolving. and he’s still university/grad student aged, ofc, PLUS he’s probably rarely home to cook for himself so I feel like we’re on equal footing when it comes to cooking.

we like trying new recipes for date nights tho!

🤩: how do you celebrate your anniversary?

it depends!! I feel like it could go one of two ways depending on a lot of things- our schedules, if it’s a monthly anniversary or annual anniversary, etc… we’ll either have a nice dinner and make a cute day out of it every month, but once we hit one year, we try to do little trips here and there, either weekend long trips or going out of the country if our schedules allow.

I feel like since both of us kinda missed out on the teenage love/“young” love phase and bonded over not having typical childhood/teenage memories, we try to celebrate our anniversaries to the fullest bc we’re just happy to have each other and want to indulge all the things we feel like we missed out on together <3

does that sound sad? I hope not LOL, I don’t mean for it to be. it’s very cutesy.

[fangirling-heart]

I’m back asking my mutuals more questions :3

If you could travel to anywhere in the world 4 free where would you go?

Good Morning and thanks for the ask! :)

Hmmm.... if I could go anywhere for free, I think I would probably go either in Japan or the US. Mostly because of all the places I wish to visit those those 2 are probably the most expensive.

Japan has been a childhood dream of mine, along with nearly every Asian country for that matter. I always found the Asian cultures fascinating.

The US is a similar case, but a more recent one. I've done a couple across the country road trips and I'd like to do one there too. Plus it'd be a chance to meet some of my mutuals.

[neon-catarina]

Hi!

I came to fix your problem (sorry I just saw the message)

I have an exam tomorrow

so i came to rest after a long school day

but then i'll have to go back hehehe

anyway, as a question hmmm....

do you have a pet and your favorite animal :3

(so maybe it was a bit of a silly question, but it's better than nothing, right?)

Oh heck it actually worked I didn't expect that

Hope you ace your exam!!

As for the question, sadly I don't have a pet of my own, I live with my parents and they don't think I should, but with a trip to a foreign country next year, animals like dogs are free (from what they've told me) and I will be getting one when I go there!

I don't have a favourite animal, I personally don't bother trying to find an animal that I like 😅

But if i had to respond I'd probably say those adorable hand held fluffy dogs (Pomeranian's I think they are called?) They are honestly adorable

thank you!!

[iceysghost]

hello! can i ask for silver and marius von hagen? it can be up to you on how it flows!

COLORS OF ROMANCE EVENT

Marius Von Hagen x Female! Reader

Word Count: 871 words

Trigger/Content Warning: slight suicidal joke

You whined softly as the alarm rang in your ears. You didn't feel like waking up and your muscles ached with fatigue. 

You revealed your arms from under the bed in an attempt to stretch them, but they instead hit the headboard you forgot existed with a loud bump. The only thing that stretched out was your long wince of pain, and the string of curses you muttered under your breath.

But your mouth stopped working and your arms numbed when you realized this ringing wasn't your alarm. It was familiar, but your sleepy mind couldn't process what it was. You looked over to your bedside, and your clock, silent and unalarming, read 3:34 A.M.

You realized the ringing was your phone's ringtone. Your special ringtone, for a very special somebody. You sat up and stretched your arms above your without hitting anything, before reaching over to your bedside, and picking up the phone. On the screen was a name you could utter for ages and never get tired of: MARIUS, with a heart emoji beside it for good measure.

"Marius, why are you calling so early?"

"Early? Wait—hold on, what time is it at yours?"

"3:30 in the morning!"

"Ahhhh, shit, I got my timezones mixed up again…"

"Why are you calling anyways?"

"It's around lunchtime here, so I was just gonna call to say hello and completely forgot that we weren't in the same country. Sorry 'bout that, hehe," he chuckled awkwardly.

"I appreciate you caring about me, but sometimes I wish you paid more attention to detail, Marius," you laughed back drowsily.

"Anyways, aren't you gonna go back to sleep now? You sound tired."

"Nevermind that. You called to ask how I was, right? and I don't think you'd have any other free time, since, y'know, you're busy as hell."

Marius was away on a business trip, and this was the fourth day you were separated. He wouldn't be home for a week after that, and although it could always have been worse, you missed him deeply, and he seemed to feel the same.

"Aww, Missy, I know you love me so much that you can't resist listening to my beautiful voice, but are you sure you don't want to go back to sleep?" he teased.

"Now that you've said that, I might just sleep again. I wish I never wake up."

"MISSY! Don't make jokes like that!"

"You're just so ridiculous, Marius. Makes me want to die!"

The both of you laughed into the phone. Despite the fact that it was the dead of night and most of Stellis was still asleep, you felt more alive than ever.

"Why didn't you call me yesterday?" you asked, feeling more energetic than the time called for.

"Well, I was busy handling some things, which I actually planned on telling you right now."

"Oh? And what could that be?"

"I'll be back…by the end of the month. Sorry."

"Whaaaaat? But I thought you said—"

"I said I'd be back next week, yes, but something went wrong with the contract and it's going to take a lot longer than expected." he sighed.

"Is it a legal problem? Can I help you in any way?" you asked desperately in an attempt to see him sooner.

"Don't worry about it, [Name], it'll be alright. I promise I'll tell you everything that goes on."

Your lips curved downward and you took a deep breath. It was a bummer, sure, but you asked for one thing:

"Can you still call me?"

"Well, due to the timezones, I'm not sure if—"

"I don't care if i have to wake up at three in the morning. I want to talk to you somehow. Please," you begged.

"Hmmm, if you're sure you're alright with it, then fine…"

"Thank you, Marius!"

"Yeah, but that means you have to sleep early so you won't feel tired. Don't work too hard in the evenings!"

"Mmm, whatever you say…"

You kept bantering about his trip, the cases you were up to recently, everything going on in your lives; it was soothing but exciting, since you hadn't talked like this to him in a while.

"Oh, by the way, [Name], I didn't talk to you yesterday also because I was busy sending over something to your mailbox. Can you check if it's arrived?"

"It's three in the morning, Marius, why would they deliver it that early?"

"Mind you, Missy, it is now six in the morning."

"SIX?!?!?!"

It was six in the morning, alright, and the sun started to rise through the windows. You rushed to your mailbox in pajamas, and found a relatively thick letter.

"What's this?"

"Just open it."

You opened the envelope inside of your room to find a painting. His self portrait; done in simple watercolor, but stunning nevertheless. You thought to yourself, it was so of marius to send you a painting of himself.

Pick-A-Pile: How Luxurious Will Your Life Be With Your Future Spouse?

👑Check out my masterlist to see all of my pick-a-card readings😊

🔮Disclaimer: This reading is for entertainment purposes only. Tarot readings are based upon my intuitive interpretation of the cards and about possibilities based on your current energy. Energy is forever changing and nothing is set in stone. Always remember, you have your own free will to make whatever decision you feel is best.

🔮How I read: I use a mix of tarot cards, oracle cards, along with my intuitive abilities of claircognizance, clairaudience, and clairsentience.

🔮How this works: Close your eyes and take deep breaths, pick the pile you are most drawn to. If you aren’t drawn to any pile then that’s okay, these messages aren’t for you.

Pile 1

Your future spouse (fs) is going to spoil you my Pile 1's! I'm getting May-December romance here. Think more of the movie Sabrina vs. sugar baby vibes (and know there's absolutely nothing wrong with sugar babies!). Anyway, I'm getting that your fs will be so excited to have you. They will spoil you with expensive items and luxurious trips. I'm getting the sense that you two meant one another through a work association of some kind. Like your company was doing business with his firm and you two meant when you were putting on a presentation on your companies behalf. He has a lot of respect for you, your intelligence, your beauty, and your poise.

Your fs has been through at least one marriage that didn't end well and he is cautious about dating. He is very well off but he doesn't openly flaunts his wealth. He sees you and he knows you are the next Mrs.!

Pile 2

I'm getting professional athlete or trust fund baby for you my Pile 2's. Your fs is likely your age or only slightly older (and for a very slim few of you, he might even be a few years younger than you). This guy still wants to run around with his friends but know you won't be neglected in any financial or material sense!

You will likely be more emotionally mature and more emotionally intelligent than your fs. You focus on you and the abundant lifestyle that you're being provided and know that you staying calm, cool and collected will actually be what's needed to help your fs mature a bit. This guy is majorly successful if he is a professional athlete (I'm specifically getting a footballer or soccer player -- for my U.S. babies)

You two will likely travel quite a bit, red carpets, summer film festivals in the Mediterranean, etc. Expect to rub shoulders with celebrities and be on the front row of designer shows!

Pile 3

Pile 3, you are my "more than meets the eye" pile. Hmmm...I'm getting that you and your fs may have a marriage that's an arrangement (say he's a foreigner trying to get citizenship in your country), you might be one of many wives, you may have an open marriage, etc. There's something unique and secret about your marriage (to clarify, not secret to you, secret to the outside world per se).

Regardless of the circumstances, you and your fs have a lot of respect, love, appreciation, and intelligence between the two of you. Yachts, expensive cars, fine jewelry, fine dining, etc. are all a part of your everyday. Someone (either you or your fs) are a wine connoisseur and someone has studied, to some extent, becoming a sommelier. I'm also sensing multiple homes all over the world is apart of you and your fs' marriage.

Designers literally call you so you can put in your order for pieces in their next collection before they're released! Your closet is the envy of celebrities and the jet set around the world. Oh, and you have excellent taste!

🌟 I hope this reading resonated with you! Please reblog & let me (and others know) what pile or piles resonated with you!🌟

[jmdbjk]

Yo

Psst. It’s me:

Name: Yo mama. Not really. But if I told you, I’d have to kill you. Just kidding. You can call me jmdbjk. Or Ferg. Ferg works too.  

Sign: Aquarius. (sings very off-key: ...it’s the dawning of the age of Aquarius..) Not now though. We are way past the dawn of that age. That was actually back in 1970 or whatever year that song came out ... 1969... so now we may be getting to the late afternoon of Aquarius. Or maybe we’re already in next week of Aquarius...who knows. BUT!! the opening lyric IS: “When the MOON is in the Seventh House” ...so there’s that. 

Time: 6:54 p.m. when I began typing this. Let’s see how long it takes for me to finish. I can be long-winded...

Birfday: February 13. Yes, I share the magic number. 

Favorite band/artist: Duh... but before BTS it was a very eclectic mix. Seventies, 80′s, disco, rock, classic rock, alt rock, country, pop, dance, you name it, I have it. From Aerosmith and Alan Jackson to Yes and ZZ Top. 

Last movie: hmmm... hmmm.   (thinks) ... (looks at my netflix saved list, nothing there)... hmm.. (looks at my Apple tv saved list)... OHH!! it was ISLE OF DOGS!!! damn, that was 3 or 4 years ago. An animated movie set in Japan, follows a boy's odyssey in search of his lost dog. It was pretty good in an artsy fartsy, quirky way. I don’t watch movies often. Obviously once every 4 years or longer. 

Last show: Run BTS Telepathy Pt. 1. Before that it was the episode of Our Blues with Jimin’s song With You. I don’t watch television either. Ever. Except that one episode of Our Blues. 

When you created this blog: I think I created it in August of 2021 so it’s been a year. My first post was Oct. 15, 2021. 

What you post: The pandemonium in my head. Whatever is on my mind. I write as a way to get rid of the excess that’s constantly swirling in my brain. And since last summer, my brain has been obsessed with BTS and Jimin, Jungkook and everything surrounding them. Actually, on the outside, I am very calm. But I love words and I like to write and I have a lot to say to no one in particular. HOWEVER! I am also a very very good listener. 

Other blogs: Long forgotten but also served a similar purpose as an outlet for me to express whatever was going on at the time.

Followers: 479. How on earth? Thank you for visiting my little space I created here! I do appreciate you all. Except you...YOU! you Kookie hater, go away. It’s ok, I blocked you so there, I did you a favor. 

Do you get asks: Yes, some of them are actually asks. 

Average hours of sleep: 6. Can function on 5 hours until late afternoon then its downhill from there. My  eyeballs prefer 8 hours but for some reason the rest of my body/brain says nope, too bad.  

Instruments: of creativity. I use instruments of creativity...pencil, brush, filters, words, fonts, colors, all digital of course.

What I’m wearing: oh, dang, I should have changed clothes before sitting down. I am wearing what I wore to work, a pair of skinny black pants and a dark teal t-shirt. With the appropriate undergarments. Barefooted because I kicked off my black leather platform sandals across the room. 

Dream job: Well, actually, I already worked at a few of my dream jobs... retail advertising was my first job out of college so I was exposed to a lot of upscale fashion and whatnot. It was a mixture of fashion illustration and photography. That was a fun job. Then I worked in creative services at a television station where I produced tv commercials. That was fun too. I won awards at that job. I have also worked for another tv production company and traveled a lot. The traveling was fun. Another dream job was working at the biggest ad agency in my city. It turned out to not be quite as fun as I thought it would. It was a good experience (that’s what we say when we are finally free from toxic workplaces but trying to remain positive). Now I am a graphic designer/art director/digital communications manager/video producing jackoff of all trades at a very large non-profit. 

Dream trip: Seoul. Period. I have traveled a lot. When I was young we lived in Canada, Australia, Singapore. I’ve been to 21 states including Hawaii. Multiple times. I’ve visited Japan and the Bahamas. Lived many years in Texas but now Louisiana is my home.

Favorite song: currently its Daydream by J-Hope. But my playlist for fitness walking is: Outro: Ego, Outro: Wings, Trivia: Just Dance, Daydream, Boy With Luv (feat. Halsey), Run BTS (the song), Dope, Boyz with Fun, Dynamite (queen), War of Hormone (don’t judge me). The beats are very crucial to keep up a fast pace. My “just listening for fun” playlist includes Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix), My Universe (SUGA’s remix only), Airplane Pt. 2, IDOL, Serendipity, Euphoria, Trivia: Seesaw, Magic Shop, Love Maze, Make It Right, HOME, Mikrokosmos, Cypher 4, Baepsae, Daechwita, Base Line, Bad Decisions, Left and Right and others. 

Sidenote: I saw on twitter where Sungwoon will be going to do his military service on Sept. 5 and I almost started crying at work. He was crying on his V Live and I had to turn it off. I don’t even know what he was saying. So when it is the BTS members time to go I am going to be a hot mess. 

Thanks @onthecuterside for the tag! Now it’s your turn if you haven’t already been tagged: @shellbells-things, @wingzie, @ejassy​

It is now 8:23 p.m.  

And here is a present for everyone...a phone wallpaper I quickly made today because I only had four things going on at once so I had a few minutes to spare and because I needed to see these two every time I picked up my phone to look at my Tumblr notices:

Cycle of Delicacy - Translation

Niki: Yes, thanks for waiting! It's good to have lunch together~ Two people, so that's two?

Kohaku: It's just a shopping trip. Today we have activities for the "Candy Party" and "Kaori" circle, so let's buy some candies to take to the "Candy Party".

Niki: Huh, two people?

Kohaku: No. Both of the circles are the ones we belong to.

Niki: So, after all, aren't you friends? Wow...!

Kohaku: Is it just a coincidence, Niki?!

Niki: I get it, so don't pinch your cheeks~

Tsukasa: Fufu. Kohaku hides his embarrassment and has done some field research.

Kohaku: Huh? Hiding the embarrassment?

Tsukasa: I belonged to both of the circles first. So you knew I was here and you joined. In short, I was the deciding factor in your joining the club, right "Khakun"?

Kohaku: It's just a coincidence, it's stupid. There is no limit to self-esteem. By the way, Niki, I have something I want to ask you. Do you know any good candy stores?

Tsukasa: I've been to all the stores I know and famous stores, so only the ones in the country. It would be helpful if you could give me some advice.

Niki: Doesn't it look like you're looking for a famous hidden restaurant? How about I make one?

Tsukasa: Oh, sure. Can I have a favor?

Niki: Yes, of course~ Please wait for me. My part-time job is about to end, so I'm going to rent a kitchen and make it.

(Thirty minutes later)

Niki: Thanks for waiting~ My homemade snowball cookies are at your disposal!

Kohaku: Kokoko. Rolling over and looking cute, right? There are three colors, but the flavor is different?

Niki: That's right. Brown is the cocoa flavor, pink is the strawberry flavor, and purple is the red sweet potato flavor. I prepared a lot, so please feel free.

Tsukasa: Thank you. Well, I'll take your word for it... Marvelous! It's delicious! Mild flavor, seems to go well with black tea.

Kohaku: The crispy texture is also good. If so, it seems to go with the "Candy Party". Great Niki!

(One hour later)

HiMERU: So. Why is Shiina here?

Tsukasa: He's a special guest. The snowball cookie I brought you today, he made it. Even if he doesn't belong, he's a sweet-loving fellow. Is there any reason not to invite him?

Niki: That's right! I love to eat and make sweets.

HiMERU: Understood, HiMERU accepts. What about Mayoi?

Mayoi: I'm fine too. But eh... I prepared a handmade butter sable, but to serve it to Mr Shiina, who is a professional master... Ah, I want to die in shame...

Niki: Yummy... Hmmm! The Mayoi butter sable is delicious! It's a bad day to die when you can make such delicious things. I want you to live for me!

HiMERU: You're too stubborn, Shiina, it's not a contest for who eats the fastest, so calm down.

Niki: Haha, sorry. I'm hungry because it's after my part-time job.

Mayoi: No no no, don't worry about it. Shiina's eating style is refreshing to watch. It's scary to see him eating greedily without thinking.

Kohaku: What did HiMERU bring? As I understand it, HiMERU changed again and this time it did something different.

HiMERU: Hehe. Now, let HIMERU show you. HiMERU made a square cream puff...

Niki: What? HiMERU was a puff of cream?!

HiMERU: What a corny reaction... HiMERU is HiMERU. You know that, right?

Niki: Haha, it's a joke~ Crazy:B joke!

Kohaku: Stop it. When Crazy:B is involved, I'm in it too.

Tsukasa: ...Are you sure this is HiMERU's cream puff?

HiMERU: Yes. Please enjoy.

Tsukasa: Thank you. Does it look like a cake? Ah, I see it's full of cream inside.

Niki: It's square, so it's easy to pick up... Ha! I thought I would taste it before eating, but I ate it all! I feel like I'm the one who eats the most snowball cookies I brought... (grumbles)

HiMERU: Even though you're reflecting on what you've done, you still don't stop... At this rate, it's going to be a named dinner, so please do something in your kitchen as an apology.

Niki: Of course. Do you have any requests?

Tsukasa: So... would you mind doing something with this matcha?

Mayoi: Tsukasa, do you always carry matcha with you?

Tsukasa: No, just today. There is "Kaori" activity and it is good that I have matcha green tea.

Niki: I don't know what to do~ Buncakes and ice cream, donuts and scones and matcha flavored cakes are also good. Ah, I'm hungry just to eat... Alright, I'm going to make a janjan, so wait!

10 people You Want to Know Better

Thanks for the mention, @hexfloog! I'm not that interesting of a person but oh well, let's fucking go >:) --- Relationship Status: I am not revealing my secrets.

Favorite Colors: All dark shades of blue (though currently, I'm really in love with dark navy blues).

Favorite Foods: Meat Lovers Pizza, most flavors of Ben and Jerrys, root beer, the bitchin' brownies my mom makes, german pretzels and baked goods. I've got a lot of favs. Song Stuck in My head: ABBA's Dancing Queen (Reason: I rewatched Mamma Mia! with my mom last night). Most of the time, the song I have in my head is usually made by Linkin Park, Evanescence, or Green Day. Last thing you googled: It was on my phone, but I googled 'No Man's Sky 4.0 update'. I googled it the same day the update got released and I wanted to check out the change log before I hopped into the game. Time:

(I wonder if I have any fnaf fans as my followers) Dream Trip: Back to America, I guess. I'm sorry, I've been so used to traveling the world that I'd rather go back to my own home country (even though it's arguably shitty as hell) Last Thing You Read: Van Gogh by @kuroko99 :3 Last book you enjoyed: Hard to say. I think the last good book I read was Brandon Sanderson's Skyward Favorite thing to cook/bake: Okay, that's a hard one. Hmmm...I think I'd have to go with baking brownies. While I might not be good at making them, they hold a sentimental value to me cuz I learned how to bake them from my mom. Favorite craft to do in your free time: Writing mostly, though I do draw small little cones and sonics when I'm bored. I also like building stuff like Lego sets Most Niche Dislike: OHOHOHO, there are a LOT of things I dislike. But, probably the most niche one is that Sonic Unleashed hasn't gotten a PC port yet. LIKE, COME ON, SEGA! I'M WAITING RIGHT OVER HERE! I CAN AND WILL FIGHT YOU! Opinion on Circuses: Never been to one, but I think they're fucking loud and crazy. A bit too sensory overloading for my tastes (but then again, I get overloaded very easily) Do you have a sense of direction? My sense of direction is as good as my ability to write. Both of which are god awful. ------ Tagging @collector-of-tommys, @chemiiicats, (i've already tagged you, Kuro), @thornrose270, @oskidoodle, @rainyfox3, @pixlokita, anyone who sees this in their dash and wants to do this
