Bridge to Tarabithia
finished: 05/07/2024
story: the story follows the friendship between Jess Aarons, a young boy, and Leslie Burke, a new girl in town. They create an imaginary kingdom called Terabithia in the woods, where they reign as king and queen, using their imaginations to escape the challenges of their real lives. The story takes a heartbreaking turn when there is a tragic accident involving one of the characters, leading Jess to cope with loss and learn valuable lessons about friendship, love, and the power of imagination.
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
opinions: this movie made me sob and i’ve just finished it. throughout the whole movie we as spectators get to see the beautiful friendship between jess and leslie and them slowly falling in love. but that’s not the point of the movie, the point is that they helped eachother when they needed a friend and comfort. they were bestfriends and spent all of their time together. so when the accident happened i was shocked and disappointed to say the least. it wasn’t supposed to end like this. they should have grown together, laughed more and eventually gotten together. i’m not gonna say anything else that might spoil this movie so go see for yourself and let me know what you guys think.
acting: the whole cast did a great job at playing the characters but i’d like to mention may bell’s actress, Bailee Madison, who played her role perfectly even though she was only a child when the movie was filmed.
cinematography and lighting: this movie is kinda of old, it’s from 2007, so the special effects aren’t as good and believable as the ones we use now but i still think they were good.
finally, i would recommend watching this movie to anyone and everyone. it should be on your watchlist if you still haven’t watched this.
💗
(i just found out this is a true story, i did NOT need to know this as i am devastated enough, this just makes the movie even better and sadder)

Hello dukhi aatmas, this is me, again. I was kind of immersed into something to give you guys an update about my life. Which is not an excuse, I admit. But, I do not care.
So, I watched Red, White and Royal Blue yesterday even though I should be studying 4 programming languages, Linear Algebra and Software Engineering but we are not talking about that rn. The movie healed something in me I didn't know was wounded.
There is a severe lack of queer movies and series which are simply just rom-coms. 95% of them just end up in death, tragedy and not the characters being together. The Heartstopper is one of the most heartwarming series out there for the queer folk. It is simple so sweet and beautiful.
Now back to Red, White and Royal Blue, the movie is the official adaptation of the book with the same title. The main characters are Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son of the US, and HRH Prince Henry, Prince of jolly old England. Alex Claremont-Diaz, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez) and the Prince of England (Henry, played by Nicholas Galitzine). The story shows how these two idiots go from enemies to friends to lovers and almost cause the Second War between England and the US.
The movie starts with the wedding of Henry's elder brother, Phillip and the £75,000 disaster. I will not spoil you guys but let's just say that from all the trouble that Alex gets into, this one takes the cake. Alex has to go back to England to do some damage control for the aforementioned disaster. During that process, he begins to see Henry in a different manner from the persona Henry shows to other people.
Henry is much more than the Prince of England's Hearts, he is an avid reader who goes on tangents about Lord Byron. He has named his dog after David Bowie, he watches Bake Off with the said dog and loves his sister, Bea.
Enough about His Royal Highness, the FSOTUS, Alex, is more than the charming heartthrob the media portrays him to be. He is someone whose feet are on the ground, and he wants to help the people of his country. He is a proud half-Mexican and full Texan. But the movie seems to forget to mention that Mexican heritage.
Alex wants to be a politician. He wants to help people and change the mindset of the stubborn Americans. He has a best friend, Nora, the granddaughter of the VP of the US, who admittedly should have had a bigger role in the movie.
The movie itself is fun to watch if you don't want a word to word enactment of the book. Some of the original dialogues are humourous and some of them downright adorable. The chemistry between the actors who was mind-blowing. They gave life to the beloved characters of Alex and Henry.
The movie cuts out a lot of characters and plot which makes Alex Claremont-Diaz what he is. They didn't show his love for politics, his elder sister June, his first boy crush, Liam, his step-father Leo who is very happily a Trophy Husband to the Madam President of the US.
They did not show Henry's mother who married an actor against the wishes of the Queen. They changed the Queen to a King. His mother was as absent as his dead father. They didn't give justice to Bea's character and Pez, Henry's millionaire philanthropist bestfriend.
However, they did show how Alex and Henry make history. They showed the beautiful iridescent love between them. They gave life to the love story of a bisexual First Son and a very much gay Prince of England. And for that, I love them.
After watching the movie, I read the book which I already owned. It was a birthday gift. The book is of course, better. It has 448 pages whereas the movie is not even two hours long. I ended up finishing the book in one-sitting. I started around 1 and finished at 3:15 am with water breaks in between. Do not judge me. I am a chaotic bi, okay?
Anyway, for today's song recommendation, this is a song which Alex and Henry danced to with forever in their mind and heart.
TLDR; a rant about RW&RB ♥️🤍💙

The only way i see Darling and Baji become couple is that they started a bet when they were teenagers that they would marry if they are still close together and single when they are in their 30s fast forward to the future they got married because Darling is single due to Baji's interference and Baji being too busy 'protecting' them lol - Time leaper anon
Anonymous asked:
Here’s a hc. It’s 12 yrs later, baji and reader are still bff, reader is still single and can’t seem to get a boyfriend cause they mysteriously disappear after the first date. You didn’t tell baji you had a date but somehow they still disappear. Y’all work at the same company and baji convinced you to live with him cause y’all are “besties” and your struggling to pay rent on your apartment. Baji is super happy to be housemates with his bestie and reader still can’t find a boyfriend.
these two asks honestly just happen to be made for each other, so I'll just answer them together! got one more for CEO Baji instead, but that I'll answer seperately. have some quick hcs? okay this turned out a lot longer than i expected, but the brainrot didn't seem to stop
Recommended Readings: Yandere Bestfriend Baji HCs ; CEO Yandere Bestfriend Baji and Secretary BFF
Masterlist
tw: afab reader, yandere, violence
Getting together with Yandere Bestfriend Baji HCs
i think rather than both of you working at the same company, you and his mum probably would have convinced Baji to follow his dreams of opening and running a pet shop with Chifuyu and Kazutora
while you took on a entry level role in a company just down the road from the shop - the company being nearby one of the most important conditions in your compromise
first time working, and first time you were without your bestfriend by your side, you're a nervous wreck, and the harsh looks and criticism doesn't help much
without Baji and his monstrous business skills there, you probably wouldn't make it as far or climb as fast, and honestly the pay that you're getting is abysmal - hardly enough to pay your rent, let alone your bills
and it seemed that life just didn't want to go your way
now that you had the time and freedom, you started dabbling in dating, trying to find love in this otherwise cruel world
but nothing seemed to work out - either you and the other party just didn't click on the first date, and you would move on
or you thought that there was potential and you agreed to a second date, but you were let down and ghosted every single time, your date seemingly vanishing into thin air
never suspected your bestfriend's involvement of course, because you never breathed a word about any of this to Baji
knowing his general overprotectiveness of you, you wanted to make sure that you found a good match before introducing your partner to him
but Baji always seem to know when something happens, you guess maybe from the dismal look plastered on your face and the heartbreak from being left out in the cold again and again
has your favourite ice cream stocked in his fridge and a movie ready to play
yet with the weight of it all on your shoulders, you never seeming able to catch a break both work-wise and personal life wise, Baji offering to let you move in seemed almost heaven-sent, and it was a win-win to both you and him
running a pet shop and having two employees means not much to take home at the end of the day as well for him, and having his bestie move in with him to share the rent would be nice was what he explained
and of course being housemates with your bestfriend would mean that you don't have to go home to a dark and lonely place - you would be able to express your frustrations at work and rant about the unfairness of it all to someone who understood you like the back of his hand
he lived not too far away from where his shop was, which meant that it was also near your own workplace
but what you wouldn't know is that Baji wasn't strapped for cash at all - far from it, he was loaded to the brim
Baji would keep this from Chifuyu and Kazutora as well, both of whom would definitely be suspicious as to how Baji was paying their extremely generous salary on the meagre amount that they were earning, but wouldn't say anything, or at least not to you
his money would of course be coming from him moonlighting as either directly as a Bonten executive, or at least as a Bonten advisor
what with how close he is with Mikey and his skills with handling both people and business, it will be no surprise that he would be roped in to join the executives when Bonten emerges
still cares greatly for Mikey, and will make sure that he is taking care of himself, but Baji wouldn't hesitate to will the power of the organization to keep you safe and protected, even when he isn't watching
you thought he didn't know about your little ventures into the dating world? Baji already knew what you were doing and where you were going - looking through all your phone and internet logs being a breeze, all he needs to make a few calls and they'll be on his table the next day
has already come to a realization that he does in fact have romantic feelings for you, and can envision a life spent together
you will never need to worry about money or safety, not while you were by his side
but now it was to convince you that he was the right man for you, and that the love you were hopelessly looking for had been beside you all along
and it wouldn't be difficult to do so for Baji tbh, not with all the heartbreak he was putting you through, and all the time he spends drying your tears and comforting you
plus not that you two live together, he makes sure that you notice just how he can provide for you, even though he has to pretend that he is equally broke and struggling like you
so you two kind of drift along together
upgrades your lifestyle little by little by lying and telling you that he's been saving for a surprise, but that overjoyed look that washed over your exhausted expression still made his heart skip a bit everytime you saw that your falling apart fridge had been replaced, or that you had a new microwave oven
and its one day a few years later after much shoving and pushing and just full on begging for Baji to ask you out already because neither Mikey, Chifuyu or Kazutora could stand his moping about
it was only after Chifuyu threatened to just tell you outright that he finally plucks up his courage to ask you out
and you agree - because you two were already so close, so you didn't see any problem
and everyone around heaves a sigh relief cause they were getting pretty sick of seeing Baji looking like a kicked puppy every day when you didn't get his blatantly obvious hints
dates didn't seem that much different from when you two were bestfriends - basically the same in fact, just that Baji seemed to be more protective than ever
you had to softly talk him down and out of dragging off and beating the shit out of some guy that flirted with you, talked to you, asked you a question, or even just bumped into you so many times you lost count
but all Baji sees were threats - they were out to steal you from him
Bonten security everywhere, Baji definitely makes good use of his position
doesn't matter that you talk Baji out of it, he still gets his way at the end of the day, Bonten men emerging from the shadows to steal away that scum, torture him a bit and then kill him
but even with his power and money, the two of you still like those low-key, low-cost, more intimate outings, just enjoying each other's company and your cooking
and Baji of course bathing in your full attention and pampering
don't know how you were surprised when he did finally propose to you, but I don't think either of you would ever forget that day

Fresh (2022) | hulu
Okay, so this is a film I would recommend to anyone trying to have a deep dive into Sebastian Stan’s filmography outside of his work on Marvel films or any of his involvement in the MCU. I think in all honesty this might’ve been the first film of his I watched or acting in general that wasn’t his portrayal as Bucky Barnes.
And it was excellent. He has such an addicting trait about the performance he puts on. And I will be honest in saying that carried a lot of the film.
The movie follows Noa, who from the jump is experiencing dating problems. She’s on the dating apps and having a horrid time. I think this set up was a little force fed but i can also see it as them getting straight to the point. I just feel like there could’ve been maybe 2 mins of fluff and then you’re like ‘okay what’s wrong with her life?’ for you to then find out that it’s about her lack of a love life.
regardless, this is true, and you see her lose hope in said apps. she then meets “Steve” (Sebastian Stan), seemingly organically at the grocery store. and he seems like the perfect guy on paper. so they go on a few dates, and honestly not more than what I would believe to be 2 weeks into the timeline of the movie, he invites her on a getaway weekend. as you can imagine, this does not go well for her and she ends up being abducted by “Steve”.
And you find out, the reason for him abducting her isn’t something like sex trafficking but he’s selling body parts of women to the 1% as gourmet meals and also has hints of it being a fetish thing.
at this point of the film, I will say that it becomes a bit much for a person to watch if you have a problem with gore. because I know I do, and while the exterior “body parts” looked more on the fake side, they did use real meat for chopping scenes and just about anything else that would need to pertain to pretending to sell body parts of women.
And another kicker, is these women aren’t killed the second they get there. they are kept alive, and eventually sold off piece by piece. so they can be “fresh”,,, hah ha,, thats so funny? yeah, idk a little stupid but whatever. they do name drop the title in that corny way, which I always feels takes a bit of credibility away from a film.
anyhow, there are definitely some things I didn’t care for in the movie. aside from the gore, which is personal, they fell into a nasty trope/cliche. they have a black female eccentric and loud outspoken bestfriend come save the day. and honestly, they doubled down on the brownie points by having her be queer. and for what this film is trying to do, I find it a little bothersome.
While I haven't seen the movie Men, from the understanding I have of it, its a film that fell flat while trying to get across the point of feminism and just overall almost satirical approach to the idea that men alone, are horrifying.
I think this movie could rival it and do a much better job, its never the center focus of the movie, but in little ways they allude to the roles women often take on in relationships. whether it be out of societal expectation, influence or assigned place.
they show this incredibly well with “Steve” (Brendan, you find out this is his real name)’s wife, Ann. She was a previous victim of his that he took a liking to, which you figure out by her leg being amputated as well as a note she presumably wrote in a magazine Steve allows Noa to read. And the note insinuates, if he's letting you read the magazine, he’s fond of you. and to use it to your advantage. but even having been in the same place as Noa. She has a false sense of security, she’s in on the whole scheme. she’d rather be an accessory to the downfall of these other women because she was “picked” than to do something about it. she has kids with this man. and towards the end of the film (SPOILER) Brendan is murdered by Noa, her bestfriend, and a girl she befriended while being held captive. and after this event, Ann still fully intends to run this business that is built off the suffering of women, and actually tries to kill Noa, because she's so in deep that she’s blinded to the fact that she’s been lost in the fog of the whole business.
This film doesn’t accomplish anything grand, but it’s different. very different. it doesn’t follow very many tropes in comparison to other thriller movies. while I think it lacks rewatch value, it was a spectacle to watch the first time around. I think its starting to scratch the surface of what new ideas can be brought to thrillers/horror. something based a little more in reality but still dystopian, sort of like Jordan Peele films.
Rating: 6.8/10

d4u || easy employment
march 2019. jungkook had his first ever job interview today. i told him i believed in him but, to be honest, i wasn’t sure if we were going to finish a carton of ice cream on the couch afterwards because he landed the job or because he got rejected on the spot. hopefully it’s the former.
pairing: bestfriend!jungkook x reader
genre: slice of life, humor
word count: 2.6k
warnings: some inappropriate humor
“Y/N? Can you help me?”
You straighten up from where you’re leaning on the kitchen counter, popping cherry tomatoes into your mouth for a mid-afternoon snack. It was Wednesday, meaning you were able to clamber home as soon as your early morning classes ended. Biting into another tomato and savoring the tart sweetness coating your tongue, you ask, “What’s up?”
Jungkook walks up to you and snatches the next tomato right out of your fingers before tossing it into his own mouth with gusto. He smiles at the way your face immediately drops in disappointment before answering smartly, “I don’t know how to tie a tie.”
Raising your eyebrows, you give his form a quick up-and-down before immediately noticing that the boy was dressed quite differently than usual. He typically left the house in whatever oversized tee or old hoodie he could find, but this time he was wearing a nice button-up with khakis. Pushing aside thoughts of how to get back at Guk for taking your last cherry tomato, you decide instead to inquire about what the occasion might be.
“What’s with the outfit?”
He spins around once for you, just to show off, before he replies, “I’ve got a job interview.”
You laugh while washing the bowl you’d previously used to house your snack for the day. Before drying your hands on a kitchen towel, you can’t help but check him out once again. He looked different for sure, but it wasn’t like you’d never seen the kid dressed up. You practically took wedding pictures with him last month.
So why was your pulse thrumming like a teen girl in a young adult novel?
Refraining from the urge to slap yourself, which was a very difficult task, you continue, “Where at? Must be a weird place if they’re willing to consider you.”
He frowns to show his dismay at your words before he strides closer to you shyly like a child wanting approval, “It’s at a magazine publisher’s. They’re looking for a photographer, someone to provide a few shots for their articles.”
Your jaw drops and you grip the sides of his arms before squeaking in excitement, “That sounds great! That’s perfect for you.”
Jungkook seems a lot happier now that you’re as thrilled about the job prospect as he is. He brushes some stray hairs away from your face to tuck behind your ear before saying, “It sure is. My friend is one of their writers, he recommended me.”
You take hold of the bright red tie that’s casually slung around his shoulders. It’s slightly wrinkled near the middle, a likely result of Jungkook failing multiple times to correctly tie a knot. The idea of him struggling with something so small makes you giggle, and you instantly wrap the fabric around your hands.
“Good thing I know how this works. We should probably go with a black or blue tie though, it’ll go with your shirt better,” you suggest, poking him in the chest as an indication for him to lead you to his closet.
He immediately understands your prodding, turning around to make a beeline towards his bedroom door. His obedience makes you smile, so you tug the hem of his shirt in your fingers as he leads the way. It’s usually easier for you to make this gesture, given the looseness of his regular clothing. However, with the pressed shirt tucked into the waistband of his pants, there is very little give in the fabric. You’re momentarily mesmerized by the change, watching the way your hand hangs onto the back of a man, instead of a boy.
“You’re not looking at my ass, right?”
Rolling your eyes, even though you knew he couldn’t see you, you grip his shirt tighter in order to pinch the skin underneath. He yelps, trying to grab you in retaliation, but you’re fast enough to quickly dodge inside his room and start sorting through the ties hanging from the inside of the closet door.
Laughing loudly, you pull a deep blue tie dotted with smiling whales off the hook and wave it in front of your best friend. Jungkook runs a hand through his hair before replying, “That was Jin’s birthday gift last year.”
“He has good taste,” you muse, giving the comedic tie another glance before returning it to its place. The fact that Jungkook had the tie sitting alongside his others, ones that are definitely more practical, says a lot about him. Even if he would likely never wear the thing, he respected his senior enough to keep the present. Under the typical silly and absentminded behavior of your roommate, he has a good heart.
“Should we go with the black one?” he suggests, walking forward to tug another tie off the hook above where your hand was resting.
Leaning your head against the closet door in thought, you examine the fabric in his hands before giving him a curt nod, “It’ll do.”
Seconds later, Jungkook is sitting on a corner of the bed with his legs slightly apart so that you’re able to stand between them with relative ease. You try your absolute hardest to focus on the task at hand, and not at the way he’s looking at you. It’s silly, the way your head fills with irrelevant thoughts when you knew that you were fantasizing about a boy that likely only ever saw you as the chill friend who was easy to tease. As you slide the tie under his collar while holding your fingers as steady as possible, you narrowly miss the way his Adam’s apple quickly dips in nervousness. Even if it was an irrational thought, you wanted to believe that your touch was doing somethingto him.
“You should be grateful that back in the day, my prom date didn’t know how to tie a tie either,” you chortle, your movements a little uncertain since it wasn’t everyday you were tying ties for men, but overall your memory served you well.
He grinned, “I remember him. He was trying to kiss you the whole night.”
“Don’t remind me.”
Jungkook laughs at the clear discomfort on your face, before gently patting the side of your hip as if to apologize. His touch is brief, not staying longer than necessary, but enough for the pressure to linger against your waist. Thinking about this causes you to mess up the next step, so you curse and start all over again.
“You’ve never had an interview before. Are you prepared?” you ask, curious but mostly just trying to hide the fact that you were back to square one due to being easily distracted.
His lips press together in thought, as he unconsciously leans back and uses his hands to prop himself up. You’re forced to follow the motion, so you also lean yourself slightly forward in order to prevent yourself from accidentally choking the boy. Not that that wouldn’t be entertaining.
“I read whatever popped up on the first page of the Google after I searched ‘how to ace your interview’,” he straightens up again after noticing the uncomfortable position he’s put you in, “It’s probably good enough.”
You shake your head, clicking your tongue in disapproval. Quickly finishing and straightening the knot, you stand back to admire your handiwork before saying, “That’s not the same as actually practicing. If you’re ready, let’s do a practice run before you head out.”
He looks up at you like a startled rabbit before he tries his best to regain his composure, “That’s probably not necessary…”
“Of course it is! Pretend I’m your interviewer,” you take a seat in his bright orange gaming chair, giving it a spin just for your own entertainment.
Jungkook appears slightly out of his element, but you recognize the exact moment he makes up his mind to humor you for the time being. Immediately, the air about him changes as he straightens up. Even though he is sitting, it feels like he towers over you. You wonder momentarily if out of all the things Jungkook is good at, acing interviews will just be another on that list.
“Welcome, Mr. Jeon. How are you doing?” you settle into your role easily, crossing your legs as you briefly compliment yourself on your own persona. Perhaps if your career in international business doesn’t pan out after graduation, you could try auditioning for a few television shows.
Giving you an easy smile, the one he usually uses on adults he wants to make a good impression on, he replies, “Very well, thank you. And you?”
Surprisingly, he answers all of your following questions with confidence and poise. Even if he briefly pauses for a few seconds to consider his answers at times, you knew that that would simply give him extra points. Interviewers usually liked signs that the candidate was considering his or her answer carefully, and not just rattling off whatever popped into their heads. You really shouldn’t have doubted Jungkook’s abilities, even if it was his first time trying something. Perhaps you’ll continue your quest of “find something Jungkook is bad at” some other time.
“For our last question, we’d like to know what you consider your greatest weakness,” you chirp, knowing that this exact question used to trip you up all the time. It was easy to make up something you were good at and try to brag about it without coming off as arrogant. However, what could you say that would simultaneously be accepted as a weakness yet not make you look totally inept? You hated this question.
“I’m too handsome,” Jungkook announced proudly, crossing his arms in front of his chest. His nose wrinkles as he smiles, and you know immediately he wants you to laugh at his comment.
You decide not to be the obedient counterpart to his comedy routine, so you say, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disagree with that one Mr. Jeon. Thank you for coming but unfortunately we will not be-”
“You couldn’t even pretend to humor me?” he gets up to try and pull you out of your chair, which is an easy feat for him.
“Good girls don’t tell lies.”
“And you’re supposed to be a good girl?” he replies, raising an eyebrow as a dangerous smirk tugs against his lips.
Whatever was happening, it was definitely doing something to you. His comment was definitely harmless, but given how much you were struggling with your thoughts recently, it easy threatened the wall you were trying to keep up. You bite your lip, trying to casually brush it off and think of a snide comment to counter with, but your mind refused to operate.
“There’s still some time left,” he says after the silence drags for a beat longer than it should. You press your fingers against your cheeks to make sure you’re not beet red, as he paces over to a full-length mirror attached to the wall and starts fixing his hair. You don’t see any issues with it, but if fiddling with his locks made him feel better, than so be it. Standing behind him, you notice the way your reflection is beaming with pride. Even if you were too bashful to admit it, seeing him all dressed up with your help made you feel accomplished. You had a hand in helping him out, thus his successes could also be counted as you own.
“Don’t we look good together?” Jungkook chirps, bring you forward with an arm around your shoulders. You’re shorter than him, so the gesture looks a bit weird in the mirror, especially given the dichotomy of your outfits. Next to Jungkook’s office worker look, you look more like the casual homebody in your ratty t-shirt and shorts.
“I think it’s mainly me,” you strike a pose and give yourself a once-over.
He laughs, and you immediately smile at the familiar sound. Busying himself with packing various items in his backpack, you watch from the sidelines as your best friend prepares. You hand him his freshly printed resume when you notice it laying on his dresser. He gives you his mumbled thanks while scanning to room the ensure that he hadn’t forgotten anything else.
“One last thing.”
You unbutton the cuffs of his shirtsleeves, rolling them up so they end just under his elbows. Smoothing out any remaining wrinkles from your ministrations, you look up at him with a satisfied expression. He observes your newest addition before deadpanning, “What’s this for?”
“It looks better this way. Haven’t you seen those memes about how men get ten times more attractive with their sleeves rolled up?” you muse, reaching up in an attempt to squeeze his cheeks but your victim expert dodges away at the last minute.
“How could I be more attractive though?” he teases, striking the same pose you had earlier in front of the mirror.
“Alright that’s your cue to leave.”
He chuckles, slinging his backpack on his shoulder and heading out of his room. You follow him dutifully, hoping to at least see him out the door. You can feel the tiny buzz of anticipation along your arms, knowing that Jungkook had to face the upcoming challenge on his own. You knew he could do it, but you worry nevertheless.
“Hey um, don’t make fun of me…but could I get a hug?”
The awkward way Jungkook stands at the door, arms slightly raised at his sides in preparation for the hug he was requesting, almost made you melt on the spot. He was comfortable with physical touch for sure, but he had never really asked you for a hug like this before. It was like he had this big boy image he wanted to portray daily, but you suppose that he must be even more nervous than you are if he’s willing to shed that in front of you—even at the expense of you teasing him about it for the next month.
You don’t answer, holding back the usual quip you’d throw at him. On a normal day, perhaps you’d coo and slyly ask him if he’s turning into a soft baby boy, but you knew that this was a serious request. Bounding up to him, you wrap your arms around his waist and give him the embrace he requested. Doing your best to convey all the joy and hope into the hug, you relish the way he holds you just as tight with his face buried in your neck. His breath tickles your hair, and you hope that somehow despite how close the two of you were, he couldn’t feel the way your heart betrayed you. Because if the proximity meant he could feel it pounding a mile a minute, then maybe he’d realize just how much more he was starting to mean to you.
“I’ll be back by dinner,” he says, patting the top of your head as he does so, before he opens the door in preparation to head to his interview.
When he turns back one last time, as if he needs one last look at you for encouragement, you give him your brightest smile and a thumbs up.
You knew in that moment that you would always be behind him—every step of the way.

"I don't plan on becoming friends with you! E.v.e.r." "I don't plan on being friends with you either." In the beginning, they were busy being hostile to each other whenever they met. But as they filmed the show, the two of them became closer, and Goeun, who previously disliked Beomi, has a small change of heart… Beomi continues to approach Goeun, and it can't be told whether he realizes Goeun's feelings or not. The image of Beomi that appears in front of Goeun every time she desperately needs someone, and the image of him she saw in the pub before filming the show overlaps, bringing chaos to her mind. She had thought he was a person who wasn't serious about anything, but she becomes more and more shaken up as he shows his sincere sides to her… Can the two of them resolve their misunderstandings and move on from being "fake BFFs" into "real lovers?"

recommendations!!!
I have been neglecting my lecture notes and have been reading manhwas/manhua so lemme put it into good use.
1. Inso’s law
- Ham Donnie (or Dan-i idc) was suddenly transported to a world with a beautiful female lead-ish bestfriend. She finds herself surrounded by 4 male lead-ish dudes! That’s when she realized, she must have been stuck in a dating game with her best friend being the female lead. Her role is the bestfriend of the female lead, of course.
- This one is heartbreaking (not really that much but I’ve thought of putting myself in the female lead’s place and I got sad). Would you let yourself get attached to people from another world? People who might vanish all of a sudden?
- So many hotties here, 10/10. At first, you don’t know who the ML will be.
- Beautiful friendship, btw.
- I love Ruda, too no matter what everyone says.
2. Miss not-so sidekick
- another isekai manhwa!! Latte got isekai’d but she’s a very minor character in the novel. 😂😂 Like, she only ever appeared in the background. Her name wasn’t even well thought of. She’s extra#1 named Latte and exra #2, a friend, is named Ameri Cano 😂😂
- This is a golden chest filled with memes. 10/10.
- I love latte so much such an intellectual human being. Yes kween, make yourself rich by selling popcorn and writing yaoi novels.
3. The Looks of Love: the heart has its reasons
- It’s two (or three) different love stories in one story. It’s about the story of two aspiring actor and actress (they’re not together, tho). It talks about their love lives, their choices and how it affects their lovers.
- 10/10!!! This one is probably the only manhua I have ever liked this much.
- The problems in the story is very realistic and might actually be very relatable to some people.
- It’s not your usual rich CEO dude who kidnaps and molests the female lead kind of a story. It’s different from all the manhuas I have ever read.
- This one has a lot of realism in it, that’s why I love it.
4. Charlotte has Five Disciples
- It’s too early to put this here but so far, I love it.
- It’s about charlotte, the greatest archmage to ever grace the land. She started collecting disciples and teaching them but when she felt like she’s old enough and has done everything, she lays herself down and let the world consume her mana, she suddenly thought of falling inlove, something that she has never done throughout her 100+ years living. Somehow, she got to live again, younger and fresher, this time. 😂😂 Mami’s on her way to find some papi but her children (disciples) just cannot let all of these go. How can mama archmage just leave them with a single letter telling them she’s had enough of life?
- The disciples are adorable
- I love this strong, mature female lead
- The disciples are still children stuck in adults’ bodies. 😂😂
5. Cherry Boy, That Girl
- this is one is old but gold
- Berry’s boyfriend crossdresses and he’s even prettier than her?! He goes by the name Cherry when he crossdresses. Just read the damn thing, I don’t want to spoil anything for u.
- some deep ass shit going on here
- my heart aches for everyone, honestly
6. Goodbye, In-law!
- Da-ae and Haneol were enemies since high school. But fate brought them to meet each other again in a meeting for both the families of the groom and the bride. They found out that their siblings are getting married to each other! Fun, right? Ha ha ha. Anyways, read the manhwa for the rest of the story. 😂😂
- Da-ae is my girl crush 😂😂
- they’re cute as hell
- protect these cuties at all cost :<<
7. Sweet Spooky Darling
- This is about a girl who works as a yaoi writer and moved into a new apartment who is.... haunted by a handsome ghost?!
- ghostxhuman = sad shit
- I can’t.. when they’re falling in love but they can’t cause he dead, son.
- my thoughts when reading this: “i hope they would just kill her off so they can be two ghosts loving each other in the afterlife-- oops. that’s so immoral of me.”
THAT’S ALL FOR NOW BYE

Self-love
Not much work to do inside the office, so after sweeping PJO in a week, Umbrella Academy the next, we did 3 movies this time. Wow. Bad employee. Tsk. Still reviewing them here. Hahaha
Booksmart (2019) : 5/5 stars
Olivia Wilde’s coming-of-age film would definitely be a classic with cult following. News says that Booksmart did not hit much attention from moviegoers, partly because it was released during weekends near John Wick 3, Aladdin, and all the other storied movie franchises. Sad. Anyway, I love this film. I was just laughing the whole time. It’s a beautiful story of friendship and getting to know yourself and the people around you, of asserting your independence, and of the best memories to remember later on. Molly and Amy are best friends, straight-A students, ready to graduate and proceed to Ivy League universities. But when they learned that their seemingly lazy, jock classmates would go to the best schools too, one of them employed by Google, they start to question their life choices. Molly mostly, Amy’s quite cool but still anxious about a lot of things. Anyway, they decide to spend the night partying with Nick and his gang before they graduate the next day-- ready to prove everyone that they also have cool social lives. The rest is funny and revelatory ride towards their graduation day.
We can all relate to Booksmart’s plot one way or another. I personally see myself as a mix of Molly and Amy -- less obnoxious but tries to be as outgoing as Molly, more introverted and willing to explore the world like Amy. And then some of my friends from the mix of students featured in the film. But what’s more beautiful and intelligent about the film is that the stereotypical HS kids we know cannot be placed in neat boxes as we want them to be. People can be both skaters and scholars too; girls with more provocative personalities and more assertive of their sexuality are also intelligent; jocks read books too; the quiet ones can be loud too. Theater kids would always be theater kids, but with a different kind of drama every now and then. Haha. Breakfast Club, the epitome of HS drama in the 90s gave us five general classification of HS people-- and this movie breaks that. Actually, I remembered High School Musical trilogy also spoke the same message-- people can be whoever they want. They can both play basketball and bake, dance and sing, etc. Booksmart brings the same message across, but also with greater emphasis on what women can do and become: that they shouldn’t be pitted against each other, shouldn’t be labelled sluts when they’re more progressive about the way they dress and approach their sexuality, and that they can helm a movie as awesome as this one.
***
Dumplin (2018) 4/5 stars
Another film topbilled by women. This time it tackles body and fat shaming, confidence building, and the role of pageants in “empowering” women. Dumplin is based on a book of the same title written by Julie Murphy. I’ve always wanted to read this but Fullybooked may have ran out of paperback copies. I still have to find one. Haha.
Dumplin tells the story of WIllowdean “Will” Dickson, a self-proclaimed fat girl. Her mom calls her “Dumplin,” which she naturally detests because it reminds her of her physical differences from her mom, who was a former beauty queen. The story then revolves around Will’s quest to prove that fat girls have what it takes to join beauty pageants often reserved for the skinny, tall, and feminine: basically, the conventional definition of beautiful. Other girls join Will’s quest, and soon she finds herself leading an unlikely revolution.
What I like about the movie: the premise of the story, strong acting from the lead and supporting cast, the whole message of the film, and I never thought I’d appreciate Dolly Parton songs. I read reviews and it seems Netflix commissioned all-original DP songs specifically for this film. Wow. Oh, and Bo Larson and his cleft chin. He’s too beautiful. I’m crushing on him because of this movie. Areas where it can improve on? Script basically. It’s full of motherhood statements and quotes from DP songs, but I think we can do more about that. The concept of body shaming needs to be fleshed out further to help audiences understand its consequences. WIll is ok with her body, but there wasn’t much discussion on her issues with her mother relative to her being fat, or how this has changed pageantry. The way I see it, having 2 fat girls and a rocker join the pageant became more of a novelty than an outright rejection of the whole conventional beauty imposed by pageants. Or maybe I’m expecting too much. I just feel that if we take on a serious subject and try to use humor as a means to comfortably discuss it; then we should fully use the platform to flesh out important issues that need to be addressed or understood by a larger audience. That way, we took every means possible to get our advocacy across; instead of half-heartedly putting them forward.
***
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) : 5/5 stars
Our last film for review. Helmed by a female lead and based on a YA romance novel written by Jenny Han. I purposefully did not read the book; maybe because that time I felt it would be too cheesy for my taste. The film wasn’t, so maybe I’d give the book a chance. Hahaha.
In the film, Lara Jean writes secret love letters to guys who made an impact on her lovelife, places them on addressed envelopes, then tucks them in a box hidden in her closet. She’s introverted, having trouble fitting in with most groups, but enjoys the company of her sisters and is generally happy with her student life. It takes a sudden turn when the letters suddenly were delivered to their owners-- Josh, her sister’s boyfriend and her bestfriend; Peter, the guy she kissed during middle school; another from model UN; Lucas, whom she danced with during freshman year and admits to being gay; and another former crush. This puts LJ in a twist, particularly on Josh. The story moves along Lara Jean’s decisions to get over the mess she’s in and return to being invisible.
It’s a classic romcom, lines are witty, the whole story is funny and good. It doesn’t end up contrived and too cheesy; just the right amount of cute. Recommended if you’d want to watch something that’ll not push you to think too much. I like that it balanced the story between Lara Jean’s guy problems, and her overall relationship with her family. It also put into perspective that no matter how embarassing things would turn out to be, the best way out would always be confronting them head on. Family are good sidekicks; but also trustworthy friends; and a healthy dose of courage and self-confidence. Lastly, Asia represent!
***
If you’re looking for something to watch over the weekend, you can watch these. Great also for Independence Day, because you know, they celebrate women’s independence and empowerment in different ways. Haha. Enjoy!

Babangluksa
A film by Yuan Santiago
Introduction: Description / Synopsis of the Film
One year after the death of Beatrice ( close friend of Ana and Carlos ) , Beatrice’s friends and relatives were commemorating her death anniversary. They ate altogether along with Beatrice’s Auntie – Tita Soledad. After the feast, each of the visitors went out of Tita Solidad’s house one by one. The last pair who went out is the couple, Ana and Carlos Valencia. Ana is a doctor in a prominent hospital and her husband, Carlos, is a businessman. When Ana embraced Tita Soledad and express farewell, she saw a lady behind the old lady, and she asked Tita Soledad that there’s a girl sitting behind her. But Tita Soledad took a quick glance to check if there's a lady at her back as Ana was noticed. But as she look back, no one was sitting behind her.
On the latter part of the story, the conflict started to arouse. Ana was always dreaming and seeing a ghost that she thought that it was Beatrice who wanted to take revenge from her for she’s the reason why Beatrice had killed herself due to her relationship with Carlos. Beatrice loved Carlos so much, and she can't believe that her bestfriend, Ana, would fall in love with the man she love and will be in a relationship with each other. On the other hand, Carlos, was always thinking about what's happening with his wife. He remembered the day they went to Beatrice to ask for forgiveness. They entered the house, they saw Beatrice standing on the Sala, they asked for forgiveness and Beatrice gave it without a doubt. In line with this, Beatrice added that she will always be with the couple and won’t leave them no matter what will happen. Then apparently, Tita Soledad was crying and shouting upstairs and asked its nanny to call an ambulance immediately. Carlos and Ana rushed up to approach Soledad on what’s happening, and they found out that Beatrice was in its bedroom and took suicide. So the couple was shocked about what they found out, that the one they saw and talked downstairs was Beatrice's spirit.
Due to Ana’s regular paranormal experience and dreams, she asked help with Cathy, her good friend, to look for a paranormal expert. And Cathy recommended its friend, named Idang. Idang has psychic abilities and can communicate with dead people. One day, Idang and Ana performed ritual inside the Villanueva's residence. They found out that Beatrice wasn't the one who’s responsible in Ana’s paranormal experience. Idang found out that it is a Sigbin that went out from the portal, which is the mirror, who's Ana was responsible about Sigbin’s freedom. Idang added that this creature will kill 5 persons who are very close to Beatrice. The only thing they can do to break the curse is to get and break the rosary inside Beatrice’s grave that was given by the couple during its funeral.
As what is expected, five people was killed by the Sigbin, including Tita Soledad which was killed first. After Kris’ death by the Sigbin, Ana, Carlos, Idang and Miguel rushed to Beatrice’s grave to break the curse. Idang and Miguel was killed by the mythical creature. So, Ana and Carlos were the only characters who are still living. Minutes passed, finally, they found out Beatrice’s coffin. Carlos had break the necklace from Beatrice’s neck. Then suddenly Ana realized that the rosary was the only thing they need to break to cut the curse. And she remembered that Carlos has placed the rosary inside Beatrice’s pocket. So she get panicked. Then Carlos is suddenly taken. Darkness has swallowed the frame, and only Ana’s scream can be heard.
Body
Characters
Precious Lara Quigaman as ANA - Precious, who plays as the primary character in the film, acted good her character. Her stage blocking was excellent. Her facial emotions that she performed throughout played great in part of the movie’s genre.
Luis Alandy as CARLOS – Luis as Carlos, who’s a Doctor and husband of Ana, acted great especially the attitude of the character he portrayed. Like for example One of his tonal voice that I noticed is its linear consistency throughout, for which a typical man speaks naturally in a small voice.
Angelika dela Cruz as IDANG - As the ‘’ espiritista ‘’ of the film, in my own analysis about her acting and blocking performed, I suggest the next time their production team will make a suspense horror film near the future, that it’s much better to hire and / or give the spiritualist role to an older actor / actress to show it more realistic. And the scriptwriters should also include more extraordinary beliefs of the Filipinos about death.
Cess Quisada as TITA SOLIDAD - Cess as Solidad, acted excellent throughout each scenes that the Director has given her. She perfectly suits for the character, not just because she's old but aside from it, she gave justice with her spiels.
Arya Valdez as BEATRICE – Although she didn’t appeared consistently throughout the film, but she played great in her acting.
Rachel Chezka Centena as SIGBIN - She acted great, for I can’t guess who’s playing Sigbin while I have been watching the film. Well played to the Wardrobe team for their excellence in their skills to cover up the artist with make up and prosthetics and I also want to commend the cinematographer of the film for the great lightings they made to successfully emphasize the emotions of every scene shall have.
STORY ( TWISTS, FLOW )
The story isn’t showed boring, for it swirled twists throughout the story. It isn’t a typical horror indie film that can easily be notice by everyone in terms of its budget, like they just providing low lightings and few camera movements, angles and cinematography, and props / costumes.
FILMOGRAPHY
The cinematography of the film is normal – not boring and not that ravishing. The film’s cinematographer just used basic elements especially in most of its suspense scenes. For example, the three – point lighting. In three point lighting system, there are three light posts that is being placed in each side of the involved character and the other light is located at his / her back. This kind of lighting is using to enhance the emotion of a certain scene especially when the shot is at its closest degree.
CONCLUSION
This suspense – horror film entitled, ‘’ Babangluksa ‘’ which was directed by Yuan Santiago under the license of Creative Minds Productions produced in 2011, and starred by some of the country’s prominent actors and actresses including Precious Lara Quigaman, Luis Alandy, Angelika dela Cruz, and many more. I’m recommending this great film to the public to watch this. I guarantee that your time won’t be waste and surefire you'll entertain . By watching this film, you can also get some informations and knowledge about the beliefs of the Filipino burial. Let’s support the Indie Filipino film community!

I'm having trouble finding good books to read. You can recommend me books that you like a lot?
hi sorry this took a couple of hours, i was at the cinema & i tried to answer before but i didn’t have enough time ashdhsd but here r some of my all time fav books!
one of us is lying by karen m. mcmanus. so this book is like the breakfast club meeting pretty little liars. 5 ppl goes to detention & 4 leaves. i really enjoyed this book and it one of my faves. tho it does have some flaws, but nothing is not unproblematic so i’d say give it a go
tiny pretty things by sona charaipotra, dhonielle clayton. this one is about an exclusive manhattan ballet school following 3 girls. i rlly love this one, mostly because the 3 main girls can be so unlikable yet i liked them. they will do anything in their power to get the role they think they deserve
the bone season by samantha shannon. ok this is an interesting book series. there r 3 so far (and 2 short stories) but there’s gonna be 7 so there’s a lot to look forward too. the universe the author has made is rlly cool & a bit confusing at first (sometimes i have a hard time understanding it) so i wont explain 2 much but it’s rlly cool with an kick ass main heroine who deserves a break
addicted series & calloway sisters by krista & becca ritchie. so the addicted series is about lily calloway & loren hale, 2 addicts (lily is sex addict & lo is alocholic) who r childhood bestfriends, start fake dating so their fams won’t know about their addictions & then end up real dating. calloway sisters is about lily’s 2 other sisters daisy & rose (there is a third one too but she doesn’t have her own book) rose is a badass independent woman who don’t need a man tho she ends up getting one and they r amazing together. daisy is a free spirit & the youngest who is a model, WHO JUST WANT’S EVERYONE TO BE SO GODDAMN HAPPY EVEN IF IT MEANS SHE’LL BE UNHAPPY. and if u don’t like addicted series because of lily & lo but like the other char then u can read calloway sisters, it’s worth it i promise
the secret history by donna tartt. so i read this 2?? years ago so i don’t remember much but the aesthetic of it is just amazing. the writing is amazing. the characters r amazing. it’s just amazing. bascially 6?? young adults, 5/6 r rich and they all study greek mythology. v cool
all for the game by nora sakavic (aka the foxhole court) DEF CHECK IT OUT IF U HAVEN’T. this is like my #1 always. it follows neil josten who is 18 & he’s alone in the world & he just want to play exy (made up game that u’ll end up loving) and then a coach from this school comes and ask him to join his exy team cause he needs a striker and neil is a striker. and even tho he knows he shouldn’t say yes he says yes cause he’s an dumbass
harry potter series by j.k. rowling. the story about the boy who lived, i think everyone knows what this one is about
vicious by v.e. schwab. so in this universe, if u have a near death experience, u’ll get some powers, i don’t remember quite how that works tho. but it’s a rlly cool story
the archived by victoria schwab. so same author was vicious. so in this book, every body got a history, which the Librarians can read, and the bodies rest in the archive. so the main in this book (mackenzie bishop) is a keeper, recently lost her brother so she & her family moves to this apartment building. it is rlly good i promise
far from you by tess sharpe. crime book with a bi main character who also use the word Bisexual so worth a read (tho it is rlly sad)
a series of unfortunate events by lemony snicket. so i didn’t love all of the books. but it has great aesthetic and they r interesting to read, tho if u get frustrated when stuff looks like it’s gonna be happy but then something ruins that; don’t read it cause that happens a lot
that’s all i can come up with right now, tho i have other faves too that u check out in my goodreads list here

I just read proposal yesterday and thought it was so sweet! I was wondering if you have any fics you could recommend? Jimin is my bias but I'm pretty open to any members with the reader. Thanks and keep up the good work! Kep jarng! 😁
Aghh thank you so much, sweetheart! I’m so glad you enjoyed Proposals and I’m really flattered that you’re asking me for recommendations! :D Okay, here’s a list of my fave fics that you should check out if you haven’t already. So you aren’t confused, the stuff in italics is the synopsis/description the writer provided and the indented bit is me being incoherent and lame as always.
Sin City (Jimin x reader) by @btssmutgalore: After a run of bad luck, you can go back home and admit defeat or step out of your comfort zone and look for a job at Sin City.
Hands down the best stripper au I’ve ever read. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this fic because you never know where stripper AUs are going to go, but holy moly am I glad I gave this a chance. You will be addicted to this fic. Jimin’s character has so much depth, but he’s such an enigma at the same time and I’m dying to know what the heck he’s thinking/what his background is. The tension is so drawn out and the sessy scenes are all so different, which is really refreshing to read and you don’t know what’s going to come next. ALSO, I feel like there’s a lot of empowerment and respect in this fic, which makes me so happy. Love love love this fic with my entire being.
Monster (Jeongguk x reader) by @btssmutgalore: You sleep with an obnoxious fratboy who used to be your friend.
This fic is perfection. It doesn’t have a complicated plot, but it’s still so interesting to read and the smut is A++++. Jeongguk’s character has so many facets and though he has a lot of issues to sort through, I’m rooting for him and the OC so much.
Purple Jewels (Jimin/Jeongguk x reader) by @jiminniemouse: When you fall in love with Jungkook and he isn’t there to catch you, a sudden surprise shows up to give you a little bit of help.
GENIE!JIMIN. AKLSDJFKLAASKDJFLK (I really tried not to keyboard smash but fuck I lose my shit because of how much I love this fic). Oh man, where do I even begin with this?? It’s my absolute favourite Jimin x reader fic and one of my absolute fave fics in general because it’s written so well, it’s creative, the characters are interesting, AND THE TENSIONNNN. I come so close to combusting with each part and I’m dying for more. Also Jimin’s character is so sweet and I love him so much (where can I find myself a genie Jimin???). Please please please read this!
Hiraeth (Jeongguk/Taehyung x reader) by @jungkxook: A world full of dwindling hope and lost loves and yet you and Jungkook are all the other needs to feel at home.
This is the first member x reader fic I ever read and IT IS THE BEST THING EVER. EVER. It’s a zombie apocalypse au and it’s so angsty and sometimes it feels like my heart has been punched out of my chest and it’s such a wonderful feeling even though it hurts like hell. The world is constructed so believably and there are so many well thought out details to it, so when you’re reading it feels REAL. All the characters are different and you never know what’s going to happen next. I can’t recommend reading this enough, it is freaking incredible (and the love triangle is fucking me up so bad).
Philophobia (Jimin/Jeongguk x reader) by @minsvga: sex has its consequences, always; whether for better or for worse, sex always has its consequences. and the drunken rendezvous you have with your best friend is not an exception.
This is discontinued but it’s still worth reading because it’s so freaking hot and I love the plot and just??? I don’t usually read fuckboy fics because fuckboys are the bane of human existence, but this fic is amazing and the smut is awesome. Also be prepared to not know who you’re rooting for. One second I would want Jimin to win the OC’s heart and the next I wanted Jeongguk to end up with her, so brace yourself for conflicting feelings.
Company (Namjoon x reader) by @fireheart-namjoon: Sometimes all you want is a bit of company.
OKAY before I scream about the sessy stuff in this fic, I really want to say that I fucking loved Namjoon’s characterization in this and it’s so nice to read an OC who is strong and independent. The writing style is absolutely fantastic and the thigh riding was 100000/10.
Retrograde (Jeongguk x reader) by @remembeo: fantasy!au
When I read this I feel the way I do on rainy, dark days when I’m reading a book and just slip away into the world on the page. The details and the way this is written are so mesmerizing and I want to know more. You’re so swept away by everything that you completely forget about the reality for a little while.
A Roadtrip (Jeongguk x reader) by @taeinmycup: Jungkook makes your planned roadtrip to Busan a bit messy.
Road trip fics never get old and neither does the childhood-friends-to-lovers plot either. This was a wonderful fic to indulge in and um the frick frack is pretty damn nice. Just saying.
Sutures and Stitches (Jeongguk x reader) by @hayjeon: hitman!jeongguk and medstudent!Y/N bestfriends!au; Jeongguk always shows up to your place or hospital whenever he gets hurt because you guys are best friends and you patch him up, but he has no idea that every time you stitch up his wounds, it tears open new wounds in your own heart.
I recently read this and I am OBSESSED. I refresh the OP’s page daily just to make sure I didn’t miss an update. The writing is so detailed and Jeongguk’s character is so interesting, I just want to know what the heck happens next + how Jeongguk ended up with this kind of life.
Chrysalism (Jimin x reader) by @workofteaguk: Bookstores have always lured you in with the promise of the quiet, the serene, and, most recently, him.
THIS IS THE SWEETEST FREAKING THING AND I WISH IT WERE LONGER. It made my entire day when I read it and I was smiling the entire time. Where do I have to go to find a cute boy like this???
It’s All Fun & Games (Jeongguk x reader) by @workofteaguk: In which you and Jungkook attempt to fake a relationship for revenge and end up with a lot more than either of you expected.
When will fake relationship AUs not be the best thing in existence? The answer to that is never. I don’t care how many times people write this concept, it will always be so fun to read because of the angsty feels. So if you’re as trash for this as I am, then absolutely read this.
Sounds of You (Jimin/Jeongguk x reader) by @vivacioustae: As a young girl you dreamt of hearing the bells, the ones that signaled you had found your soulmate, the missing piece everyone was so desperate to find. After falling in love with Jimin you abandoned the search, hoping you would come to never hear the bells, preferring to continue your life with him uninterrupted. You’d soon come to learn the harshness of fate, and that it doesn’t care about your hopes, feelings, or you.
Listen, from the very first sentence of this fic, I was completely hooked. From the get go you know that it’s going to mess with your emotions, but it’s worth it. I love this concept so much and my heart is aching reading this. After reading the first part, this fic is all I could think about and my heart ached because I wanted to know what was coming next, but also wasn’t prepared for it. Love love love this.
Teamwork (Taehyung x Seokjin x reader) by @sugajpg: Peculiar events occur when the two best volleyball players of your college decide to take competitiveness out of the courts.
Best threesome fic I’ve read so far. I’m just. :’’’’’)) I’m still screaming. Fml this is too good and I feel the flames of hell licking my feet but screw it. Where do I sign up for this?
Like Crazy (Jimin x reader) by @war-of-hormoan: This story is based off the film by the same name.
Because I don’t care about my well-being in any way, I started this fic and I love it so much so far. The film Like Crazy is incredible, but it feels like you’ve been punched in the gut twenty times by the end, and it made me sob… like crazy. So this fic will probably end up doing that too and as nervous as I am for that, it’s so worth it. Everything is written so vividly and the relationship between Jimin and the OC is so sweet to read. I’m really excited to see how this progresses.
Grey Area (Yoongi x reader) by @blushoseoks: And just like that, your fate was sealed - because Min Yoongi was absolutely going to destroy you. But hell, if you weren’t going to let him, or bask happily in the flames as he did so. And sadly, at the time, you didn’t think that your thoughts would become so literal.
THIS IS SO WELL WRITTEN. SO. WELL. WRITTEN. Ohmygod, I’m in love with this writing style and THE CONCEPT IS AMAZING. The ending of part one left me feeling like I’d been kicked in the gut or something and you’re all ???? wtf is going on??? and you’re completely hooked so you binge read the rest. This fic is perfection.
Until Next Time (Jimin x reader) by @taeverie: Who would have guessed that a stranger you met through an online game would quickly escalate into a cyber fuck buddy?
OK OK OK UM LET ME GATHER MY THOUGHTS HERE. First off, how can I be the OC?? Second off, HOW CAN I BE THE OC???? I wouldn’t have the balls to actually be this forward in real life but still, this just kept escalating and they didn’t even really do the hanky panky but it was still hot as fuck and 10/10 would recommend.
Not So Honest (Jeongguk x reader) by @wonhopes: Jungkook has got a pretty big problem, and he desperately asks you for your help.
Hi hello yes be prepared to explode ok this was TOO good oml. I’m also a slut for sub!jeongguk because that sinful man deserves to be tortured the way he tortures us so this was a glorious find (though the roles do reverse in the end but whatever THIS WAS GREAT).
Obey (Jimin x reader) by @sugasgrowl
sub!jimin. Must I say more? I spontaneously combusted like ten times while reading this and would gladly undergo that again because it’s so nice to read fics where the roles reversed and I would give up a limb to see Jimin in such a debauched state.
All To Myself (Jimin/Yoongi x reader) by @mint-tape: “It’s hard to be a vlogger when half your subscribers care more about your hot friends than you.”- Y/N, from her April 23, 2016 vlog titled ‘Jimin shows his stupid abs 8 times (not clickbait)’
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE FICS I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE. All the ‘videos’ and the ‘comments’ and just everything about this is absolute perfection. The characters are all diverse and the OC is really likeable. Just. I’m glad I found this fic, it’s so unique and all these extra goodies make the read even more fun.
The Blue Notebooks (Jimin x reader) by @inktae: time travel au
Honestly, I don’t even know what to write about this because I’m still speechless. No words can capture how beautiful the writing is (all her work is beautiful) and how well emotion is captured in this. Everything is so thought out and all these little details come together to form the bigger picture. Do yourself a favour and read this as well as all the rest of the OP’s writing. She is so freaking talented and we are all blessed to be able to read her work.
…Sorry, that got ridiculously long. @_@ For member x reader fics I tend to read Jimin/Jeongguk focused stuff, if it’s not incredibly obvious… Oops. Am I Jimin biased or jiguk biased? Anyway. I hope this list helped and I’m sorry it took so long for me to respond, I just wanted to get through some of the fics I had saved in case I wanted to recommend them. Enjoy!

Fabulous Olicity Fanfic Friday - March 24th, 2017
Happy Friday! So this is my attempt to both thank awesome fanfic writers for their amazing work and offer my recommendations to anyone who is interested. Here are the fantastic fanfic stories I read this week! Click on the titles to get the links! They are posted in the order I read them.
Was it Ever Real? multi-chapter by mindramblings ARGUS Agent Oliver Queen is given one last mission. He has to go undercover and get close to a member of the Bratva's daughter: Felicity Smoak. Complications arise, however, when he finds himself falling for her. Will he be able to stay focused on the job or blur the lines?
Finally Home by @wherethereissmoak - Oliver is rescued from Prometheus, but discovers Felicity's chair in the bunker is suspiciously empty. So Awesome!!
The White Queen by @felicityollies - How do you break a man that is already so very broken? You break the love of his life, of course.
Time for a Story multi-chapter by @smkkbert - This fic shows Olicity and their life as a (married) couple with family. Although Olicity (and their kids) are the protagonists, other characters of Arrow and Flash make appearances.
A Day in the Life multi-chapter by @tdgal1 - Felicity Smoak is an MIT graduate and assistant to Oliver Queen. Suddenly she is his pretend girlfriend and in the spotlight. Oliver Queen needs a girlfriend to get rid of an obsessive former lover and to please his parents. Fluffy, funny, happiness!
Calculated Chaos multi-chapter @stygian-omada-fan - Sequel to The Nightmare, I don't care if you're 4, or 40 you don't hit people
Running Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4 multi-chapter by @geneshaven - Oliver and Felicity are on the run from the authorities
Our Version of Events multi-chapter by @machawicket and @geneeste - Action star Ollie Queen is trying to clean up his image and land parts that require him to do more than appear shirtless while fighting stuntmen. Pop star Felicity Smoak wants to be seen as an adult in time for the release of her new, grittier album. And talent manager John Diggle’s got an idea about what coverage of Oliver and Felicity’s brand new (and totally fake) romance could do for them both.
In Another Life (I Could be Your Man) multi-chapter by @angelicmisskitty - Their lives couldn't be more different - and yet Oliver can't take his eyes off the beautiful blonde woman that leaves the subway every morning at 7.43am. There is something about her that makes him look up every morning - something that also makes him aware he'll never be good enough for her, or that she'd even notice him. He had no idea how much his life would change the day he rushed over to help her...Olicity AU - no Lian Yu, no saving the city (at least not in the way we know from Arrow :D ) LOVE LOVE, LOVE!
Untitled by @dettiot - a prompt... Oliver and Felicity at the grocery store, Oliver and Felicity hosting a team dinner, or both :)
You are my Strength by @alanna-the-lionheart - 5x17 spec fic - As Prometheus tortures him, Oliver holds on tight to hope. His team, his friends, his family…they are his strength, and they will find him. He trusts them; he trusts all of them. But more than anything, he trusts her.
A Soul Lost at Sea multi-chapter by @tinaday3w - MAGNIFICENT regency romance where Oliver is a pirate who had returned to his previous life.
Untitled by @alexiablackbriar13 - Prompt: Allergy - So sweet!
Untitled by @dmichellewrites - Prompt a story with Felicity and Lyla
Untitled by @dmichellewrites - Felicity takes a turn dressing up as the Green Arrow
Prompts and Drabbles by @wherethereissmoak - Chapter 1: The prompts were “I thought it was a one-night-stand…and now we’re married…” and “I’m your husband. It’s my job.”Chapter 2: “The skirt is supposed to be this short.”
Untitled by @dmichellewrites - Prompt: Cake - Olicity wedding cake!
Trust Me multi-chapter by @felicityollies - When a prostitute meets the perfect client, she has to remind herself that there’s no room for getting close to someone in her line of work.
