trick or treat ☝️🤓

Treat!

****

Kim thinks that Porchay might be starting to reflect his WiK image a little. 

He tries to find the will within him to care about that, considering how much effort he put into curating the image of cool and mysterious, but friendly and approachable idol he presents to the public… but he just can’t bring himself to.

He loves the way that Porchay influences his life. 

Though he might need to tone back how much he lets it show through to his fans, he considers, as he reads the influx of comments on his livestream about the unexpected change of scenery. 

His livestream location actually hasn’t changed at all - what has changed is the number of plants in the frame. Before, WiK just had the boarded walls of his balcony, his chair and a small table with one of his music awards in the frame. Now though, he’s surrounded by greenery, sunflowers and little trinkets designed to keep away insects, as if they even get insects this high up from the ground. 

The plants are the result of one of Porchay’s latest obsessions. He goes through these phases of interest every few weeks or months; committing himself wholeheartedly to his new projects before suddenly losing interest, dropping it and moving onto something else. 

He’d always been like this, but since he settled into the idea of allowing himself to actually spend some of the money he now has access to, and with Kim’s smile of approval, his obsessions began moving on from TV shows, video games and music idols to larger things like making clothes, painting, jewellery making, plant care and, most recently, cake decorating. Since moving on from plants to cakes, Porchay’s plants have been designated to Kim and his WiK corner. Kim hasn’t said it aloud, though he thinks that Chay probably knows anyway, but he likes the plants a lot more than he thought he would. 

He likes all of Chay’s interests and creations, but the plants bring him a sense of comfort he hadn’t expected, and he likes the way they look around his home. 

Chay had watched fondly from the kitchen as Kim moved pots around the apartment, placing them in optimal spots for growth. 

He considers his viewers for a moment, then settles back to begin strumming on his guitar. It’s probably a little too late to move them anyway. A good chunk of his fans have seen them; there are surely screenshots already uploaded online. 

May as well lean into it.

closed starter for @mortiiferas ( rio ) the masquerade ball.

"Not that I'm trying to embarrass you," Rye began as Rio approached the table, a smug expression on his lips. Perhaps he was a little. "But I couldn't help but noticed how flustered you look after that dance, I do remember that look. I'll spare you the details, though I do hope if there's ever someone serious in your life you'll introduce us both."

[bloodwiine]

"I'll be sure to mark that down on my list," he repeated with a small nod, smiling back. "I've never said it aloud, but I've always been curious about potions, and how one figures out what goes with what, but I suppose similar can be said about medicine and food. That sounds quite similar to what we do over at the farm. I'm surprised there isn't a spell to prevent that yet, or is there and I just haven't heard of it?"

"oh, well if you want to put it that way, then maybe not," mahsuri replied, smiling before continuing, "but in my shop, you're good." while she had been able to catch onto the joking tone, they did have a bit of a point. "oh, well herbs and plants can be very critical in a wixen's spell or potion. but between you and me, anything that doesn't sell before it gets too old, i'll throw into my cooking."

[fairytail-backgrounds]

There is an ancient Chinese text called Zhuangzi with one of the most famous parts of it being "Zhuang Zhou Dreams of Being a Butterfly".

Once, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering about, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou.

Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuang Zhou. But he didn't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou.

Its symbolism is widely used in media, e.g. butterfly imagery accompanying a dream vs. reality debate (see Cowboy Bebop movie for example). And it's also clearly used throughout the Tower of Heaven arc, starting from the first chapter title (see above).

In the same chapter, there's butterfly imagery in Erza's dream of the past, and as she wakes up she starts questioning reality

Every time Erza is reminiscing, there's butterfly imagery

The plot of the arc also revolves around a seemingly unattainable dream of heaven & freedom

while some of the people involved seem to be delusional

Shou's questioning the truth vs lie isn't that different from reality vs dream debate

Even though the symbolism dials down towards the end of the arc, Jellal's delusional plan is still referenced as a dream becoming reality

And similarly to how it began, the arc culminates with Erza's dream

where reality is questioned once again.

P.S. Mashima-sensei even mentions it in the afterword for Vol. 10

confession time!

okay can i tell you how much i adored this request? <33

[ ft. sigma, atsushi, twain, chuuya ]

Sigma... was panicked, to say the least. What if you say no, what if it wasn't perfect like he meant it to be, what if he stumbled over his lines, what if he didn't brush his hair enough this morning (impossible), what if his shirt was ugly (also impossible, he looks gorgeous always)? He's acted this since your first few meetings, but it took some time before the thought came to his mind that he was in love. He didn't even know when or how he could confess! This was an ordeal that, to Sigma, required extraordinary amounts of planning. Every detail had to be perfect, it if wasn't, what if you said no? The thought of confessing, let alone the thought of you, was enough to make his head spin. Sigma hardly even needed a confession, he already trailed after you in his free time like a dog, and always bought you the most expensive things. If that wasn't enough to show how he was head over heels, he went red in the face every other conversation. Needless to say, when he knocks on your door with the cheesiest confession and a bouquet of your favorite flower (no matter how rare), you kiss him.

[ sigma is precious, please cherish him ]

Twain has always been confident. Flirting with you, always acting laid back. Key word: acting. He's had to act calm since the moment he saw the way your eyes shine and he couldn't stop the scarlet from spreading to his cheeks. This man was dying inside. He was not calm, not when you were smiling at him like that. When he finally got the balls to confess, he finally fully buttoned that damns shirt (highly unusual, you were shocked you could make such a thing happen) and shoved his pride up his ass for a minute. He didn't even have it in him to ask someone for advice. He showed off what he could do, and then when you looked to be in enough awe, he tried his best to express his feelings and keep a straight face (no, he did not keep a straight face).

[ you can probably see that i adore bullying this man ]

It was obvious to everyone from the very beginning. He was a young boy who was starting to figure things out in life, and a gorgeous, considerate person like you would obviously attract someone like him. So he followed you around, always offering his aid, time, money, and whatever else you could need. You always made him feel appreciated and seen, what's wrong with returning the favour? Dazai attempted to give him advice on it, but it was really just the entire rest of the agency picking on him. You could see from a mile away how he stuttered, flushed, and stammered when he talked or looked your way. You knew he probably couldn't get the words out of his mouth, so you asked him if you could take a walk on evening and said everything there. He was still speechless, but at least it was said. (He also cried quite a bit, so you tried to buy him ice cream but he finally got the courage to say he'd pay for both of yours <33)

[ you can probably tell by length how much i adore this precious boy ]

Dazai immediately noticed the way Chuuya felt about you. It took a little while for Chuuya to fall for you, however, but once you two were close, it didn't take much for Chuuya to start feeling more than just platonic things. In short, there wasn't one moment when Chuuya realised he loved you, just a piling up of affection. Chuuya tried to show how he felt in any way except for telling you, solely because he believes actions speak more than words. He wouldn't necessarily be stumbling over his sentences, but he'd probably be busy buying you that expensive first edition poetry book (please say you caught that). Chuuya knew that Dazai knew, and whatever "advice" Dazai gave was nothing that Chuuya would actually trust. Chuuya was actually pretty confident he could make you smitten too- he's pulled plenty, trust me. He knocks on your door one night and asks if you'd like to go try out some restaurant (I shouldn't say some restaurant, it's an expensive one that you mentioned wanting to try sometime). He makes the confession on the spot- it's more honest and meaningful that way, he hopes. You accept, and make out later soon after.

AAAA I loved this prompt, I love writing lovestruck and lovesick people. Also Atsushi and Sigma are precious, not in a way that they're clueless or can't handle themselves; they're just perfect. As always, requests are always welcome, likes, reblogs, and comments are appreciated. Have a wonderful day/night! Love you all <33
