ARTIS(T) — noah/gemma 💖

✨ send a pairing + one or more letters for some headcanons regarding our muses’ sex life !

ARTIS(T) — GEMMA x NOAH

A ─ After care. Do they take care of each other after sex ? How ?

Aftercare is something that Gemma and Noah find really important. Noah always makes sure to ask Gemma if she’s okay after they have sex, especially if there was a little bit of rough play involved. They also like to take showers together and often end up holding each other close in bed once they’re done cleaning each other up.

R ─ Recording. Have they ever filmed themselves having sex ?  Did they watch it together afterwards ?  Has anyone else seen their videos ? 

Gemma and Noah have never recorded themselves having sex since they kind of view it as an intimate and private affair. They’ve never really had the urge to record each other as they like to keep these moments to themselves. Gemma isn’t opposed to the idea though and would happily try if Noah ever suggests it.

T ─ Turn ons & offs. What do they do to turn each other on ?  Is there something the other does that turns them off ?  Have they told them about it ?

Gemma really likes it when Noah shows dominance. She likes it when he holds power over her, hence why she loves being tied up and blindfolded. Gemma also tends to get a little turned on whenever she sees Noah drawing. There’s something about the way that he moves his pencil across his sketchbook that turns her on.

I ─ Infidelity. Has any of them ever cheated on their partner ?  Whom have they cheated with ?  If not, is it something they could do ?  If yes, have they told them or has the other found out ?  Could they forgive and forget ?

Gemma has never cheated on Noah or any other partner from before. She’s very comfortable with casual hookups, but she could never cheat on someone that she genuinely cares about.

S ─ Spanking. Is this one of their kinks ?  If yes, who’s the spanker and who’s the spankee ?  Any favourite positions ?  Do they use just the hand or any other spanking implements  ( like the paddle, belt, whip, hairbrush, etc… ) ?

Gemma has a bit of a degradation kink and spanking is something she thoroughly enjoys. She really likes being bratty towards Noah in bed and loves it when he puts her back in place. She doesn’t really like paddles or whips and prefers it when Noah uses his hands, especially if he’s wearing rings. She likes the way the cold metal feels on her burning skin.

Kirk waffled for a moment, thinking about her offer. It was very nice of her, though he did see the Machiavellian spin. Going to a fancy party definitely wouldn't be a hardship for him, and having a date for his own holiday events would take so much pressure off him. After his last break up, with his ex taking all his stuff out of Kirk's apartment in a huff, he could use a break. "Well it seems like you thought of everything. It's a deal." He said, shaking her hand. She was bossy, but he'd always liked that trait in people. "If you're happy taking care of everything, I don't mind letting you lead. I want to avoid any more headaches this season. My Bubbe's been hounding me about my love life and I need a decoy."

🎄 open to anyone (mid twenties and older) plot: holiday fake dating !

“I mean since you’re not doing anything, you should come with me! It’ll be fun! My grandparents only throw the best Christmas gala–” Except for the fact that she’s usually hounded by her extended family about not having a stable relationship, but Gemma is purposely leaving that detail out; it’s what she’ll need them for later. “They always invite a bunch of interesting people and the extravagance is at a hundred. I doubt you’ll be the center of attention if that’s what you’re worried about. I’ll even make you a deal–“ she reaches for their hand, a glowing twinkle in her gaze, “I’ll go to any of your family events with you for the rest of the season. You won’t have to hear a single judgy comment about being single or anything like that! We’ll really play it up with the pda and I’ll arrange coordinating outfits for us. Doesn’t that sound great?” Only she could suggest a self-beneficial proposition that sounds like she’s doing them a favor.

spotted // paige yoon and ace valmount getting very close on the dancefloor. wonder how gemma feels about this ?

and in the wise words of many of my parents and disgusted boomers before me : get a room . i can't imagine grinding each other like hormonal teenagers in hot topic clothes at homecoming is really what you want to be offering to the crowd ... but by all means . i'd say poor gemma, but is there anything really lost with paige yoon ? good riddance . maybe find someone with a personality instead of one copy and pasted from whatever pinterest board she found it from . ( @paigeisms , @delicatlueur , @gemmajcmes !! )

The one thing Gemma adores most in the world is the idea of being adored, so naturally, this grand gesture of Theo's has warmed her heart immensely. Once her arms find their way around his neck, the femme leans closer to his figure, practically melting in his touch. "Of course I don't mind. I'm actually obsessed with your dedication to seeing me tonight- it's like something out of a cheesy movie." she jokes softly, bringing down her hand to gently caress his chest. "I'm very happy to see you though - soaked through and all." a giggle, then she stands on the tip of her toes to give Theo a quick kiss. "Did you want a change of clothes, by the way? I can go and steal something from my brother's room really quick."

   the sight of her reaction to his suddenly appearance, made this entire climb all the more worth it; it definitely had the impact that theodore had hoped for when he planned this. even if it was quite impulsive of him. slipping in through the window when it was opened for him, a smile clear on his features and he chuckled a bit at her words. " i wanted to see you and, i know you said tonight was a bad time but— " taking a single step closer, he reached out to grab a hold of her hands and urging her closer while guiding her arms around his neck; his own circling her petite waist. " i guess i just couldn't help but come around anyway, do you mind that ?"

closed starter for @lovepctions​ based on this plot (third one). 

       as gemma headed towards the parking lot at the end of her shift, she could hear what sounded like a group of men in the distance - which immediately brought her discomfort. she glanced over in the general direction of the noise and caught glimpse of her new coworker being harassed by the same group of men. gemma’s protective and hotheaded side kicked in; she stomped towards the group in her glittery heels and matching purse, then proceeded to tell them off until they left the other femme alone. “I’m sorry you had to see that. I just hate when guys act like fuckin’ creeps-” she huffed in irritation, then reached into her purse for a mirror to check her makeup in. “let me drive you home. it can be a regular thing if you want.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *ੈ✩.ೃ . . . THIS TIME I WANT YOU, LIKE IT'S MAGNETIC !

PRIMADONNA ( KR: 프리마돈나 ), also known as DIAMOND GIRLZ, is an eight membered girl group under STARBORN CREATIVE. The group was originally known as TEEN IDLE, a twelve membered pre debut girl group that trained together for three years before sudden lineup changes. Former EMPHASIS member CHAEWON was added in early 2019, barely a year after signing with STARBORN CREATIVE after her departure from ANGELICO ENTERTAINMENT, giving the pre debut group much more attention, but also costing them three of the members, who decided that they were done waiting for a chance to debut and left STARBORN CREATIVE a few weeks later.

In early 2020, former ITZY member SOHYEON, who left both the group and JYP ENTERTAINMENT shortly after debut, would join STARBORN CREATIVE and be placed in the lineup, costing TEEN IDLE two members, bringing the lineup down to eight. TEEN IDLE changed their name to PRIMADONNA, and to this day, have remained the same with growing popularity.

[eternclsunshine]

There were always those fleeting moments of weakness; she thinks very fondly of Dakota and sometimes does desire that extra attention from him – and being someone who grew up quite spoiled, Gemma had the tendency to act out whenever she didn’t get what she wanted. Was it childish? Probably, but she had no interest in changing that any time soon. As he explains himself, she understands of course, and it slowly leads to her irritation subsiding... at least until he correctly accuses her of being jealous. It's surprising and leaves her flustered for a second, almost struggling to put an excuse together. "Yeah, right - 'cause I'm the type to get jealous," Her defensiveness is quick to kick in, because as much as she protests, her words are merely a half-truth. Dakota hit the nail on the head when he accuses Gemma of wanting attention, but she's too stubborn to give him the satisfaction of being right. And she definitely doesn't want to let him know that she does miss his presence from time to time. The thought of begging for attention gives her the ick. "It's really not that deep. I just thought you were being rude and ignoring me - so obviously I got upset." she crosses her arms, as if it would act as a defensive barrier, because once again, she's bluffing. "Whatever, the details don't really matter. You're here and I'm here... I think we could make a better use of our time." she lifts her brows suggestively - it's half genuine and half wanting to change the subject.

Confusion was etched on his features as she continued on, each word making less sense than the last in his mind. Rumors of her reputation as a girlfriend were similar to his own as a boyfriend. Charming and magnetic, but entirely unserious and wildly unpredictable. So the fact that she took offense to whatever it was he did wrong felt jarring. "Whoa, where's all this coming from?" He'd never seen this side to her personality, but felt both surprised and flattered that he brought it out of her. The urge to roll his eyes was suppressed as he didn't want to piss her off even more and actually lose her as a friend. Or romantic partner. Whoever she wanted to be in his life. "Again, not trying to be an asshole, but do you have any idea what my life is like? I'm up by 5, training all day, games two to three days a week, the playoffs, fuckin' everything else on top of that. And I know I chose this, so spare me the lecture. But I'm sorry that I don't remember to hit you up my summer break. The two months out of the year where I feel like a human being." The extended vacation never felt long enough. He stopped talking to catch his breath as realization kicked in. "Oh, I know what this is. You're starting arguments with me 'cause you miss me. 'Cause you're jealous. You're mad that I'm not giving you enough special attention."

D, Q, S — gemma 💖

💕 VALENTINE'S DAY ALPHABET

D — DATE : what is your muse's ideal date? where/ who with/ etc?

gemma's favourite dates are ones where she can talk freely with her date to get to know them better. lunches and dinners at the finest restaurants are always her go-to date idea since they allow her to sit down and really get to know her date. if time is an issue, she is happy to sit down over a cup of coffee as well. gemma also really loves museum dates, but only if her date also has an interest in art. she loves going to art galleries with noah because she feels like they can really bond over their shared interest.

Q — QUESTION : would your muse ask the big question or expect their partner to?

even though gemma really likes to paint herself as an independent woman who makes her own decisions, she really wants noah to propose to her. for once, she kind of just wants to be romanced in her life, especially since she thinks she's missed out on a lot because of her attitude towards dating before. gemma never really thought that she'd ever want to settle down with someone but that all changed when she met noah. he kind of changed her view on relationships and she couldn't imagine being with anyone else but him.

S — SWEETHEART : did your muse have a childhood sweetheart?

gemma did not have a childhood sweetheart because apparently she was 'too busy' to date. she was basically an overachiever when she was in high school. she was on the debate team, the student council, and eventually became the school captain during her senior year. dating was the last thing on gemma's mind during her high school years.

[eternclsunshine]

inter-muse dynamics I’m kinda obsessed with at the moment + elaborations

Faye & Gemma

They're originally best friends but since revamping Faye's character, I’ve adapted their relationship. Pretty much they met in high school when Faye’s family moved to London temporarily to pursue business/real estate opportunities. They were close and had a best friend group (with their other friend Astrid), but Faye was always a bit problematic… had the tendency to wanna one up Gemma and Astrid. Everything they had, Faye wanted it but better. Despite this, she never had any animosity towards them and genuinely loved her friends. Their friendship fizzled out over the years as everyone became more focused on their careers. Gemma also wanted to distance herself from Faye because she doesn’t really agree with her mindset (clout chasing, exploiting people's secrets, etc). There was never a big falling out and they remain pretty cordial if they run into each other / like each other’s posts on social media. They’ll never go out of their way to be best friends like they once were though.

Jett & Luci

Definitely the closest members of the band. They’re best friends and practically brother and sister. Literally the only man luci will ever love lmao. Before their fame the band often played clubs and bars. At the time Jett was an underage teen/young adult and Luci often went out of her way to sneak him in and dress him up - but definitely always looked out for his safety. She was the only one to really give a damn about protecting this kid, and since then their bond really developed. They live together just to hang out on a regular and they ALWAYS talk to each other and send memes.

Gemma x Theo

She’s played in this man’s face A LOT and he’s surprisingly okay with it. They meet through Lance, who started university and became best friends with Theo along the way. At the time Gemma was a teenager in the last few years of high school. Obviously didn’t pay each other any mind at the time. She just thought of him as Lance’s dorky friend who was always at the time hanging out with him and their dad. Sometimes Gemma would tag along with them, much to her brother’s dismay bc she’d just whine all the time lmao. For the longest time Theo was just a family friend who was always there, always kind, always spent holidays with them. It wasn’t until Gemma was in her early/mid twenties that she started having heart eyes for Theo but always played it off as playful flirting. Eventually this became mutual and there’s always a lot of tension between them. That’s quite honestly her boyfriend when she’s back in her hometown, but will drop him when she has to go off for work or just end up in other situationships (excuses bc her mild fear of relationships). Always leads him on with the prospects of a stable relationship but then it just doesn’t happen.

Shayne & Valeria

Oh lord lmao. They met through Luci, who is a mutual friend of them both. They've only hung out in group settings and professional settings when they've worked on music together. Not once have they had a romantic moment, and not once has Valeria given off that vibe, but Shayne is obsessed with bugging her and asking her to date. It's borderline harassment and she can't stand him at all lmao. // On the flipside, in Valeria's fame/popstar verse she's a lot more unhinged and self-destructive. They're a famous couple, notorious for being on and off, a little bit toxic, but always obsessed with each other (even if he cheats on her on occasion). In every verse they're a hot mess.

Audrie, Lance, Gemma & Daniel (their dad. ik he's not an actual muse but yeah)

Audrie is the golden child without a doubt, and her father's pride and joy. However... she doesn't have a strong connection with her dad and even resents him. Growing up, Audrie felt like her dad dumped the responsibility of raising her siblings on her while he focused on his career. She felt robbed of her childhood because of him, but is also grateful for the strength and integrity she got from the experience. As an adult, interacting with her dad is incredibly awkward, and really only engages during the holidays and for the sake of her siblings/extended family.

Lance is for sure the least favorite child (in terms of success) but kind of the favorite. He's very close to his dad, especially since they're the last two who live in their family home, and they spend a lot of their time together and share common interests. Daniel often makes jokes about Lance needing to 'move out of his house' cause he's a grown ass man, but they both know the both of them would be lonely without the other and just hang out anyway. Daniel also expresses a lot of disappointment in Lance for the career route he chose and his lack of success (especially compared to Audrie and Gemma). But that's only because he wishes his son would've used his potential for something else.

Gemma is the favorite, even if she's not necessarily the 'golden child'. There's not much to elaborate on. She's just the youngest and has always been treated as the little princess who could do no wrong. Daniel is very proud of her for finding her way in the world and using her talents to the fullest, even if she doesn't have a traditional or academically gifted career.

         “  i’m  sure  they’d  understand  …  maybe  ,  ”  teagan  adds  in  the  last  part  with  a  light  laugh  .  she’ll  admit  that  she’s  canceled  plans  a  time  or  two  when  she  just  needed  a  moment  to  herself  .  “  i  don’t  blame  you  and  self-care  is  important  .  and  not  to  have  you  be  that  person  but  maybe  using  work  as  an  excuse  to  get  out  of  it  would  help  ?  if  not  just  say  i  roped  you  into  something  last  minute  .  ”

"i know i said i would go out and hang, but how mad do you think they'd be if i just... cancelled those plans and didn't go?" gemma was so busy lately that she just didn't have the energy to put into getting ready to go anywhere. "i'm totally being that person right now and i'm not even sorry."

@nepofmstarters

[nepoupdates]

the tea going around the office at paige's label is that her manager and parents were overheard in a heated discussion with gemma's parents about paige not being fully related to the rest of the yoon's. apparently her mom isn't really her mom. OOP.

look  ...  i'm  not  going  to  confirm  or  deny  anything  until  we  get  some  PROOF  here  .  however  ,  this  little  piece  of  news  feeds  into  my  theory  from  a  little  while  back  .  do  you  all  remember  that  ?  i'll  link  it  here  for  those  of  you  that  don't  .  but  things  are  beginning  to  fall  into  place  .  i  just  need  a  couple  more  things  for  this  story  (  and  undeniable  evidence  because  we  all  know  how  rich  people  like  to  threaten  lawsuits  )  .  anyone  think  they  can  get  a  signed  confession  from  the  yoon  father  ?  or  a  dna  test  ?  (  @dearpaige  ,  @gemmajcmes  )
