Mistaken: An Arranged Marriage Bratva Romance, by Arianna Fraser (aka @caffiend-queen )
Tumblr media
Look what arrived last night!!! Written by our very own brilliant @caffiend-queen !!
I love the cover my dear. But of course we all know that our main anti-hero / dastardly villain / antagonistic Adonis REALLY looks like, don't we y'all.
The REAL Maksim Morozov
Tumblr media
I continue to ramble and swoon over this book and its characters after the break below. I've chosen gifs to fit my mental picture and a theme song I've assigned to @caffiend-queen 's book.
Walking with his bodyguard.
Tumblr media
Always on the phone.
Tumblr media
Weight of society's underbelly rests on his shoulders. Wide wide broad muscular shoulders that block out the sun when he towers over his beautiful Ella Givens, our brilliant protagonist and heroine in this story.
Tumblr media
And the Real Yuri Morozov - Maksim's second hand man and cheeky loyal brother.
Tumblr media
Don't forget, he's Maksim's right hand man. So dangerous!! *Gulp.
Tumblr media
He's the personable friendly brother. He's the lucky one who doesn't have to strike fear in everyone ALL THE TIME. He's allowed to smile and laugh sometimes. OMG I WANT TO FUCK THE BROTHER! I'm Team Yuri all the way!! Am I allowed to call out a Team Yuri?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Damn. It would have been so much easier to pick out the right image if the characters were simple and two dimensional. RIGHT?
But like all of @caffiend-queen 's characters - these two men - two terrifying, beautiful, brave, ruthless, loyal, sexy, kinky, fucked up, violent, infuriating men have a lifetime of experiences that add up to who they are today. There are so many moods, so many hats, so many roles they play with every different character, who they are to them, how they act with them. How much they reveal and when. When do they let their guard down versus when they don't. In the end, the men are just living roles they were dealt within the world they were born into. Trying to survive, thrive even, and take care of their family.
OMG.... The ACTION SCENES!! This is so intense I've been on the edge of my seat!
Y'all gotta read this!!!
Check in with @caffiend-queen for info. It hit the 'bookshelves' just this month. Both e-book and the hard copy. I love it!
One morning I heard the PERFECT theme song for the chapters I'd been reading the night before. The entire drive to school and back I had to play it multiple times. (And it's now my son's favorite song, so he has been requesting it specifically each car ride for a couple weeks. It goes to say that the whole family can sing it word for word by this point.)
I'm so excited to have all y'all listen to it and tell me if you can see the intense action scenes from the book play out in your mind like they do in mine when this song plays. Please let me know what you think??
Give And Take, by Poor Man's Poison.
youtube
Someday I'm gonna show up on your doorstep, @caffiend-queen , with a huge box of all your books I've collected over the years for you to sign for me. :-) I can't wait!
Spread the word and boost this signal. REBLOG PLEASE. Support and promote our sister. All her profits go to the local Crisis Nursery in her city. Such a wonderful way to support them and help families in crisis. Again check in with @caffiend-queen for the exact details.

hi i. i may have been the. the culprit. for the ship. possibly singlehandedly.
short answer: i made them the fuck up and spawned it upon tumblr
long answer: okay so it started as literally IRONIC like “haha what if i draw the character i simp (kb) and the character i kin (mp) together :))) this will not alter the rest of my fandom activity forever whatsoever” so i drew them for the very first time HERE and it also happens to be one of my first r99 fanarts and KB ISNT EVEN OUT YEETTTTTT (is already heads over heels for her even then). i have already admitted that medpoc is a character i project to and a schrodinger self-insert so theres also that. also i easily go insane over any nblw since its so rare and a hungry nb lesbian like me gotta cook somehow! also kb is MY TYPE of fictional women so yay
after that initial silly doodle i wasn’t super into them then 1.3 happened. and this literal goddess (who is troubled) x sweaty lesbian (who is troubled) dynamic hits WAY TOO HARD and i practically locked the fuck in on them okay enough about me im gonna. be a TINY insane abt them. as a treat.
IGNORING THE FACT THAT THEY NEVER INTERACTED IN THE GAME AT ALL BECAUSE LIVE LAUGH LOVE RAREPAIRS 😍
I started piecing together more things that make them more appealing to me outside the “i kin this character, i like this character” thing. AKA making it the fuck up! To me, how I find their relationship interesting is the many possibilities of it going HORRIBLY WRONG AS GOD INTENDED (toxic yuri) or surprisingly but satisfyingly sweet if they manage to resolve the things that make the two of them not be able to work out in the first place (healing yuri)!
There is like a million alternate plots for them in my head but the horrible problematic nasty mutually destructive yuri vs rough but evident and warm healing growth tender calm-after-storm yuri are the two main ones i rotate in my head. The second of which may have happened after the first one.
The things they have in common is a devotion to research in their own respective strategies. One has a methodical but fragile approach the other a reckless but intricate approach to research. Both of them has a parental/mentor figure who tries to change them/projects into them one way or another. Medicine Pocket is a dog. Kaalaa Baunaa ate food already bitten off by a dog. Yuri. <<<delusional
Their relationship also has the appeal of being “forbidden” due to the age gap and just how much power they hold over each other. You might think that I see one of them with greater power but in reality both of them really holds the other at a chokehold. Her grief and projections of Kumar (which deeply tragically resembles how Kumar sees her in the first place as Kumar mentors her) onto them causing her to have a soft spot for them at the hopes they don’t end up like Kumar, she cares for them, helps them, keeps their secrets, spoils them, at one point parents them (neg), all of which makes her want to tear her hair out VS them wanting to exploit her prestige and kindness to further their own excellence but feeling that good ol’ guilt and weird weird weird fuzzy feeling in their throat that makes them want to tear their hair out ALSO nobody wants to piss of a senior researcher. They love the expression of her submitting to their whims as much as it eats at them. Whether this entire setup goes for a good ending in which both of them manage to navigate through their own vulnerabilities and see through their own wrongs/awful perceptions about each other then they may start to build/rebuild each other into better people, taking care of each other, being good adults that still break down from time to time. Alternatively they get stuck in the toxic yuri limbo. Your choice.
I am projecting a lot of my “fuck i have to do anything i can to succeed as an adult since im 18 now and the world wont tolerate if i lose my ‘prodigy’ status im getting into uni and they will tolerate much less academic faults” into Medpoc and having a kind and understanding mentor figure who’d hold them while they’re bloody and losing their mind over the needless intricacies/rules in tje research/academic/pragmatism world would help a lot I think! Especially since she spent a longer time in said field and SAW how this system fucks ppl up.
i made like. some tumblr yappings abt them. where i elaborate a mix of both plots in it. you can look at it to see my thought process
1 - https://www.tumblr.com/anonymocha/745307513988268032/suddenly-seeing-parallels-between-kumar-and
2 - https://www.tumblr.com/anonymocha/747092685637206016/my-insanity-ahead-textwall-i-mean-kaalaapocket
3 - https://www.tumblr.com/anonymocha/748712797312090112/ngl-my-first-thought-for-your-pfp-is-how-strangely
this doesnt include the shit i dumped to my partner theyre a real one for listening to my dissertation abt characters who never interacted in game. i could talk more but im tired after uni orientation week so im closing it off here but if u want me to like yap abt them more erm feel free to shoot me with anything
anyways thank you for showing an interest in the ship bc everytime someone asks abt it or mentions it or writes it or draws it i die a little /pos
EDIT:
would like to add something
Tumblr media
in the toxic yuri beginnings neither of them sees each other as who they really are. where their relationship goes is determined by if both chose to see through the illusions they put up on each other by themselves. or not.
I haven't played since 1.4 but I NEED to know why kaalaa and medicine pocket are a ship now, I'm obsessed
Also have we had anymore The Fool content

sdra2 boys reactions to a first kiss from their s/o-
Here you go! These turned out a bit longer than expected haha (plus I almost forgot Hajime aaaaaa)
.........
Teruya
The former merchant was grieving over his friends again, but as much as he tried hiding it--he knew he couldn’t keep it bottled up around you. So he just let himself curl into your arms, clutching the goggles of a certain pilot.
He felt childish for crying like this, though you didn’t judge him, nor the tears that soaked your shirt. Instead you held him close, running a hand through his hair. 
Teruya found that talking about the good memories--as good as any memories of being trapped in the academy could be--with the pilot helped ease his troubled mind. Plus you were curious about his friendship with him.
“He seemed like a comedic guy,” you smiled softly. “A guy with a good heart.”
“Yeah, th-that was Haru alright..” He sniffled, sighing as he felt himself calming down. “Okay..I think I’m alright now. Th-Thank you for listening.”
"Of course, but hmm..I know what’ll cheer you up, Ruya.”
As he raised his head to look at you, what he didn’t expect was to feel you lips against his. But for a first kiss...it was so soft and sweet, just like you’ve always been to him.
You could see a blush on his face as you broke the kiss. He tried to speak, but could only babble random nonsense, to which you just chuckled. “You feel a little better?”
“Y-Yeah..I’m f-feelin’ tons better...”
.........
Yuki
“Are you..serious?” Yuki gawked, expecting you to laugh at his confession. “Y-You really like me that way, too?”
“Of course! And I’ll say it again if I need to.” Grinning, you took his hands and swung them side-to-side a bit. “I truly do like you, Yuki Maeda. So what if you’re “average”? There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Despite how much he wanted to believe your words, he was convinced that he wasn’t anyone special. His talent didn’t make him famous or rich or smart--who would wanna be with someone who was lacking in all three departments?
You could see his eyes starting to cloud over with doubt, but you weren’t gonna have any of that. Fortunately you had an idea that was either smart...or stupid. 
You didn’t care and just decided to kiss him right on the lips. He squeaked in surprise, immediately stiffening up, though it was just a peck and you quickly backed off.
Your face burned with embarrassment, but it got your message across..or so you hoped. “Now do you believe me?”
“I-I....I do..” Yuki stammered, his gaze travelling to your entwined hands. Though he shyly glanced back up at you. “C-Could you..uh..maybe do that again?”
........
Nikei
As you typed away on the computer, you could feel a lingering presence over your shoulder. But you didn’t mind it, knowing there was only one person who was allowed to barge into your office.
“Hey Nik-Nak.”
“Y-You’re seriously giving me a nickname now?” The journalist stammered, though he just sighed and looked at your computer screen. “Anyways..how’s the editing going?”
“So far so good. your dear Ultimate Editor is hard at work.” You kept tapping the keys. “But I noticed a lot more run-on sentences in this one. Looks like somebody’s had a little too much coffee today.”
“Oh please,” he huffed. “We both have very different definitions of “too much coffee”. And I think I know who stole the rest..”
“Sue me.” You joked, reaching up to pat his cheek, before you brought his head down slightly to kiss his other one. “Make some more if your heart desires.”
“..........”
“...Nikei?”
“...s-sure...imma go..uh....yeah. Bye.”
By the time you turned away from the computer, Nikei was already rushing out the door, clutching his hat to hide his face from view. But even in the dark you could tell he was blushing like mad.
How adorable.
........
Shinji
“COME ON, YUKI!! YOU GOTTA HAVE MORE FIYAAAAH THAN THAT!!!”
“He seems tired, Shinji. Cut him some slack.” You chuckled as you watched the two men train together. Poor Yuki was practically wheezing after the run, while Shinji just huffed and kept jogging around the park.
But eventually he made his way over to you and stopped short. “You should join us! Get your blood pumping!!”
“Do I have to?”
“Why not?” He grinned.
You really didn’t wanna run in hot weather like this, and the two seemed like they needed a break. 
So you came up with an idea--a sure-fire way to get him to listen to you. “Hey, Shin? I..gotta tell you something important.” You motioned for him to lean in closer, and he did so in worry, wondering what you had to say.
Though all he got was peck on the lips. It was the first kiss you’ve given him since you two starting going out, so it was quick but sweet. When you moved back you could see him staring at you, face growing beet-red.
“Now will you take a break...please?” You held his hands. 
For a while he seemed speechless--as though his brain short-circuited--before he finally found his voice. “W-W-Well jeez..why d-didn’t ya say so before?”
......
Yuri
“Oh, [y/n]~! I’ve figured out the perfect way to commemorate our first kiss!”
“You have? And what would that be?” You turned around to face the spaceman, noticing he had a box of Pocky. “O-Oh...the Pocky game?”
“What else could it be?” He laughed as he held out a stick between you two. “Since we’re both already familiar with it, why not get started right away~”
Seeing that there was no way out of this, you sighed and decided to agree to the game. You bit down one end of the stick while Yuri bit the other. 
Then you started munching away. Though at the last second, right before your noses could touch, you suddenly moved back, letting him have victory.
“Awh..there’s no need to be shy, my dearest.” He pouted, clearly disappointed. “I understand if you’re not ready yet but-”
However he was cut short when you pulled him by the tie, bringing his lips to yours. His eyes widened to the size of UFOS, though before he could properly react you broke the kiss, smiling as you munched the remaining Pocky you stole from him.
“I win~”
.......
Shobai
“You’re kidding right?”
“It’s like I said--nothing in life comes for free, sweetheart. If ya don’t already know that then..why are we even going out?"
“...we’ve been dating for-”
“You want a kiss? Better pay up.” As ridiculous as it seemed, Shobai looked dead serious about this “deal” you wanted to make with him. 
You didn’t think you’d have to actually pay to get a first kiss. But then again..this man made a living making bizarre deals, so you shouldn’t have been too surprised.
“Alright, if that’s what it takes.” You begrudgingly took out your wallet and opened it. “What do you want for-?”
However, you fell silent when you heard a snicker, and you looked to see his smug grin. But before you could question him, he suddenly leaned down to give you a quick peck on the lips, stunning you, though you tried to seize the moment and kiss him back.
He tasted like smoke, of course. It wasn’t the most pleasant, though your heart still fluttered even after you two broke the kiss. Only then did he notice your dumbfounded expression, and chuckled.
“You know, you can be real gullible sometimes...but that makes you kinda cute.”
.......
Mikado
“Hey um..Mik? Can I ask you something?”
“Oh anything, my dear moon~ Well...erm...there are some things I cannot disclose if you’re curious about Void-”
“A-Ah, nothing like that. I’m just wondering if...I were to kiss you....which side would you prefer?” You gestured to both sides of your face, looking at the wizard with an inquiring expression.
He hummed in thought. “You know..I’ve never had my first kiss before, so I’m not so sure myself. How about I let you surprise me?” The red eye on his mask winked, before he closed his real eye and sat still.
With a sigh, you decided to entertain him, approaching him. But when he opened his eye, you stopped short and huffed. “Hey, what happened to me “surprising” you?”
“Sorry, I was getting..impatient. Carry on.” Once more he closed it, soon feeling you cup the cheek of his maskless side. And he tensed up upon feeling you kiss the corner of his mouth. 
Redness dusted his entire face as he opened his eyes, seeing your smile.
“O-Oh...so that’s how it feels..”
.......
Hajime
“Hajime, it’ll only be for a second. I’ll be right back with medicine-”
“N-No..at least let me go with you..please..”
“You collapsed during training and you’ve been running a high fever ever since. You’re in no condition to walk right now.”
Despite your best efforts, Hajime continued to resist staying in bed. You didn’t think it would be this difficult to get him to stay put, but you knew why he was so upset.
He wasn’t scared of getting sick--he was scared of being abandoned while he was sick. It was a fear instilled into him thanks to his parents and doctors who just..gave up and left him to die, all alone.
That fear showed itself in full-force as he gripped your hand. “D-Don’t abandon me..” He sobbed weakly. “I can’t go through that again..I-I just can’t...”
Your heart ached when you heard those pleas. But as you wondered how you could calm him down...the first brilliant idea to pop in your mind was:
Kiss him.
And so you did, right on the lips, which you knew you’ll regret later. Though Hajime fell silent and looked at you with surprise. “...did you...?”
“Th-That’s..not how I meant our first kiss to go. But I promise you, Hajime..I’m not gonna abandon you.” You ran your fingers through his hair. “Not now, not ever, okay? I will always come back for you.”
His cheeks were more flushed, but he nodded meekly and relaxed back on the bed as you quickly left to retrieve the medicine.
And you kept your promise.

Clouds pt 1
Taeil
Boyfriend!Taeil x genderneutral!Reader
"Its your choice, pretend you don't know or go inside and confront them about this"
Warning: Cursing, Suggestive, Yelling, Angst, mention of mental harm 
Word Count: 5.4k
Note: Yayyy!!! 100 followers
Tumblr media
Taeil and you probably take the cake for the most Clichè love story. The Best friends to lovers trope. Like seriously, you and Taeil have been friends since birth, technically, Your mom and his mom has been friends since college you see, met and gotten married to the love of their lives a year apart, gotten pregnant almost the same time and have birth a couple of months apart, so in reality, you and Taeil have been fated to be bestfriends 
When you were born six months apart after Moon Taeil, he and his family visited you and your mother in the Hospital while your dad was busy running around the hospital telling everyone he was a dad
Ofcourse you and Taeil had no memory of this but your mom’s were more than happy to introduce their children. Shipping the two of you since you were born
You were six years old, that was your first memory of Taeil, maybe because you always thought of him as the annoying kid that lives a block away who loves to pester you, you were playing with other kids when, your neighbor, Doyoungie (who you had affectionally nicknamed, bunnie at the time) had kicked the ball to your face you remembered that you cried as he said sorry. You were angry and hurt and Taeil was the only one who laughed at the scene but upon seeing your crying face he hugs you and holds your hand “Aww don’t cry, Y/n” he says happily “Lets go play more ok?”
Tumblr media
Taeil’s first time thinking of you as someone more than the snotty brat he was forced to take care of was when you got lost, he didn’t have to take care of you then, but he thought he’d bring you along, he was five and you were turning four and he wanted to buy ice-cream,  you wanted ice-cream, so he took you along to that ice-cream shop by the corner. It wasn’t dangerous his mom was with you
He bought ice cream, two of them, knowing that you won’t be able to finish it so he can eat two ice-creams but the moment he turned he doesn’t see you. He panicked and started looking for you all over the shop, trying not to alert his mom but when all hope seemed lost, he started sobbing, where are they? are they hurt? They’re mom is gonna be so sad-
“Mooooom!” He cries and runs to his mother who holds the boy in her arms 
“Why are you crying what happened?”
“Y/n” He looks around “I cant find”
His mom smiles fondly at the boy “Are you worried?”
He nods “I’m supposed to protect them!” He cries and his mom coos gently carrying him and taking him out of the shop, placing him down
“ok, my strong boy” His mom says and kisses the top of his head, “look there” He obeys, with teary eyes only to spot you walking towards them with cotton candy in her hands and he pulled away from his mom to run to you
“Where were you?” He asked and held your face 
“Clouds” You claimed happily showing the cotton candy proudly to him
“You should’ve waited” He sniffled and you reached over to wipe his cheeks, he smiles, but didn’t stop you
“Sorry” You whisper and he nods opening his mouth so he can taste the clouds and you happily letting him take a bite
He looks up to see his mom and your dad grinning at the sight “Hi, Y/n’s dad” he waves and looks at you who was playing with the cloud on your hand “No, Y/n.” He takes it and bonks your head making you wince “you’ll get sticky-”
Tumblr media
You and Taeil literally grew up side by side, He was there for you back in middle school when this girl bullied you because you and Taeil would always be together.
Taeil wasn’t happy the way that girl treated you but you always ignored her, she was just jealous that you were bestfriends with him, so you had a habit of holding him back whenever he was about to say something to her, or you try to anyway
“Taeil” you hissed and tugged on his shirt again once he stared down at her, of course you know Taeil is a big softie who cries over Hachiko, The dog that waited for his master by the train station despite his master dying, and that dog from I am Legend, so you know he really means no harm, its just, its his big brother instincts that make him fight anyone who attempts to harm you cause as he quotes “You’re an annoying little snot rag I had to take care of, So if anyone has the right to mentally harm you its me” and rewarded him with a kick to the shin “Lets just go, leave her be”
He looks at you and you smiled softly “We can go get clouds before we go home” you offered once he allows you to take him away, he raises an eyebrow at your words
“You’re fourteen and you still call them clouds?”
You roll your eyes “Cotton candy” you said in distaste “That is the most disgusting word I have ever heard of, Clouds on the other hand, sounds more magical”
He laughs “What about I start calling dumplings as meat pockets again?”
You made a face “What are you five?”
“I’m as cute as one”
“I hate Toddlers”
“No you don’t” He says and leads you to his bike, getting on it after handig you his backpack “You love kids”
You sat by the back, sitting on it with your legs to the side while you held on to his waist, pinching his side “No, I don’t”
He flinches and moves to swat your hands “Yes, you do, you love kids, you would play with them at the park whenever their parents are busy,” he points out and starts biking
“I have no idea what you’re taking about-”
“Look its Baby Yuri” he says saying the name of that child you were always so fond of
You perked “Where?” only to see that its an empty road and a laughter coming from him as a reminder that Baby Yuri’s house is far from here “Jerk” you glared at him and pinched him again, he swats your hand away “now hurry up and teach me how to read Morse codes” you said and held on to the back of his shirt
Tumblr media
The time Taeil stopped thinking like you were his little sister was when you dated on your second year of high school. Yes, clichĂŠ, but, at first he didn't care, he congratulated you and helped look stunning, he wasn't bitter that you were trying to show off for someone else, or that you were nervous to go on a date with someone else (not true, he did care, he was bitter, he hated every minute of it)
Three months into your relationship, you were crying in Taeil's arms, cause, apparently you had a fight, cause you were to close to Taeil and your fight resorted to yelling and you attempting to kick them
So when you called him, but you didn’t speak, he just heard your heavy breathing he knows you were upset, he knows that you’re trying every thing to not cry, he knows that if you speak you just might, so, he spoke first “Yours or mine?” he stops about three seconds after the first choice so you can hum or grunt (whichever you had the energy to do), then he’ll know what your answer is
You grunted at his second offer, and he stands up from his bed to start cleaning up around the house, “Sure, come over, you want me to pick-” He looks at his phone and you declined the call, so you’ll be coming over yourself. 
He moves to get to work, cleaning up the mess and getting the snacks you like before you arrive, and when he was finished, there you were, on his porch, looking like you were about to kick his door in
He reaches out to hold your hand which you pulled it away and walked inside. He wasn’t offended, he knows why you don’t like the affection, he knows that you breakdown easily. The fact that you haven’t even teared up yet was amazing, but you aren’t outside, you aren’t alone, It’s Taeil, your bestfriend the boy that has been by your side all your life so he knows, you need a hug
He grabbed you by the arm to pull you into his chest, you gasped and attempted to push him away but he shushes you with a small affectionate kiss on your forehead, “its ok,” he whispers “I know you wanna be strong, so its ok, its just me, you did well, you’ve been so strong up until now” he holds you close that you tightened your grip on his shirt “Its just me, Let me be strong for you”
You cried into his chest that day, after his words. You would never admit it, but Taeil is probably the only one who has seen you cry, he doesn’t mind, he’s your Strength, he knows that, you know that, so when it gets too much Taeil lets you cry on him lets you take it out, he makes you feel taken care off And he wouldn’t have it any other way
He managed to calm you down, petting your hair and then he bonks you, making you look at him, tear stained cheeks, eyes bloodshot, he laughs as you rub your head “Feel better?”
“A bit, yeah”
He hums and pulls away “Go take a shower,” he moved to his cupboards and taking out a fresh towel, handing it to you, well actually he didn’t hand it, he fucking threw it to your face, and yeah it hurt, but it made you laugh and he smiles back “Go clean up, I’ll lend you some of my clothes” he sighs “again. Snotty,” He teases “You gotta return my clothes sometime today, the near future”
You smile “No, I like them, go buy new ones instead” 
He laughs “Brat, I need my clothes”
You pout and crossed your arms "You're gonna make me cry again, big brother" you called him that only when you want something, and yeah, it usually works, but something about being referred to as big brother 
He rolls his eyes and threw one of his sweatshirts to you making you yelp, “Shut up and go”
You obeyed, smiling softly at him. He stares at his hands, You haven’t called him Big Brother for a very long time and something about that made his blood boil
He just wishes he knows why. He’s been feeling like this for quite sometime, whenever you get to friendly or to close to someone, he has no idea if he should be angry at you or that person your talking to. 
He settled on the sofa with a sigh and looked at the tv, where the opening scene of your favorite show was paused, your favorite snacks on the coffee table. His ears perked when he heard the familiar sound of his bathroom door opening, you were done, he turned to see your figure disappear somewhere behind his house, he knows what you’re doing you were gonna hang the towel you borrowed, then you reemerged, hair still obviously wet (you didn’t bother to properly dry it, he guesses, again), leaving wet splotches on his sweatshirt. You went up the stairs, he smiles, he has a feeling you’ll get pillows from his room, he can hear the door of his room open, yup he is right.
He stood up to get the towel you hanged and walked back to the living room to see you eating the snacks while cuddling his pillow, He really does know you now. He throws the towel at you “Dry your hair properly, or shave your head” he points out and you sigh, doing as your told with a playful kick to his thighs
Once you were done he leaves to hang it again, when he returns and sees you, he smiles excitedly sitting beside you, and you play the movie
It was just a random movie that you accidentally started liking (he was ninety-nine percent sure you only like it cause Ewan McGregor, who you think is “surprisingly charismatic”, is in it). He wasn’t watching though, the movie wasn’t interesting, he was watching you, reading you body language and facial expression, checking if you really are feeling better
He didn’t realize how hard he was staring at you, ‘till both of your eyes met, he froze, you were so close, his heart skipped a beat, was it just him? or was your eyes always that sparkly?
You lift your hand and placed the snack against his lips, feeding him “take a bite so you’ll stop looking at me like a lost puppy”
He blushes and nods, taking a bite. Looking away, he held his hands. He is fucking screwed
Tumblr media
You on the other hand found out you liked him around college. Unfortunately, you and Taeil have drifted apart over time. You don’t hang out as usual, he is studying a different major than you after all, it was only natural you both have other friends
You didn’t like it
Over time you and Taeil have been going through your own time, like getting your own apartments and campus that we want to be on, It doesn’t change, you and Taeil go to and from the Campus and Your houses around the same time since you are neighbors but when the two of you get to the Campus its like neither of you know each other 
Growing up with Taeil means, he was with you every waking moment and all of a sudden its gone, who will get used to that? He has been the person you grew with, who held yo while you were in pain and made you laugh when you were sad 
“I miss you” You whispered one time as you sat on to the passengers seat of his car when you both were heading home for the holidays “A lot” you whispered quiet enough so that he won’t hear but you were wrong
Ever since Taeil accepted the fact that he likes you he has become more insightful in things that upset you, and he can see (he doesn’t know why) but he can see how upset you were and hearing you say that, he didn’t mean it, but it gave him hope that you liked him too
That week Taeil climbed your window to wake you up, knocking on your window 'till you eventually woke up
You weren't exactly asleep, you were to busy looking at your hands, thinking about your Christmas dinner at the Moon Household, you and you're family was there except you and Taeil haven't even attempted to try and speak or approach each other and it only hurt you more when neither of you tried. You sat up and froze, seeing a shadowy figure by your window and your instincts went to overdrive and you opened your mouth to scream for your father
Taeil noticed your on guard position and he shakes his head, knocking against your window in a pattern that he wishes to every one holy that you remember
“Da-” you stopped midway once you hear the knocking looking at the figure, you realized it was Morse code, you listened as the figure tapped the glass, long tap, pause, That’s a ‘T’ tap, long tap, pause, And that’s an ‘A’ tap, pause, what is that one again? Tap, Tap, pause, I remember this one its an ‘I’ tap, long tap, tap, tap
You looked at the figure “Taeil?” you asked and opened the window, Taeil climbing in letting out a sigh of relief “What the hell are you doing here?”
He laughs “I was bored,” You frowned and sat on your bed, glaring at the boy making him raise both his hands in defense “I’m kidding, don’t hit me”
You rolled your eyes and lied sown on the bed “Yeah well, leave, I was sleeping” facing away from him
“We both know you weren’t”
“shut up”
He smiles and taps your thigh over the blanket “Scoot over, I had a nightmare, don’t wanna sleep alone”
You turned to look at him “What are you five?”
“Is that a no?” He asks with a sly smile, holding the blanket up so he can join you when you agree
You sighed, scooting to the side and he slides in beside you “Big baby”
He laughs, but covered his mouth to not wake your parents “I didn’t really have a nightmare” he whispered and moves to tuck an arm underneath his head as you copy his movements, the two of you facing each other “You were avoiding the at the party”
You scoffed “No, you were avoiding me” you huffed
“Are you ok?” He asked reaching up to swipe the hair that covers your face “You’ve been extremely quiet”
You yawned, you felt safe I his presence to even fall asleep to it, you couldn’t help but smile softly at the action “I’m ok” you lied, closing your eyes
“Don’t lie to me” he says, he has known you long enough to know when you lie and he won’t let it pass “I wanna help you”
“There’s nothing you can do”
“There will be if you tell me”
“Taeil”
“Y/n” 
You opened your eyes only to see him staring at you, with worry and care “I hate you”
He smiles, and you felt your cheeks warm up at the sight “No you don’t” You rolled your eyes and he nods “Tell me when you’re ready, but for now” he takes her free hand in a promise “I won’t leave your side, and don’t leave mine”
You looked at him, the at your hands, before nodding “Promise?”
He nods “Promise” He smiles as he watches you yawn “Get some sleep, ok?”
“Ok” you whisper and start to doze off “That’s all I ever wanted,” you whisper “I miss you” you whisper and fall asleep
Taeil’s heart was beating rapidly against his chest, miss him? what is that supposed to mean? was that even supposed to mean anything? And he was aware that your hands are still intertwined, he blushes, and holds it tighter, afraid of letting go. He watches you sleep this time, glad to see you peaceful, seeing you always made him happy, but sometimes knowing that you will never return these feelings, made him so weak that he wants to do nothing but lie in bed, he closes his eyes,  his finger tapping mindlessly on your pillow
L-O-V-E Y-O-U
Tumblr media
You and Taeil are still very much a bestfriends. And you two hang out majority of the time since Lee Taeyong, someone from Taeil's group of friends, and Suh Johnny, the American exchange student you became friends with started dating
So bam! You and Taeil were automatically the third wheel, which was fun since you two were already friends, everyone was talking and playing around while you and Taeil were speaking to other people. Taeil looks at you as you fed Jungwoo the tart you ordered and Taeil had to bite his tongue from saying something to the innocent boy
He starts tapping against the table as he looks through his phone, hoping you could understand the Morse code despite how loud the surroundings were
You did. And you couldn’t stop smiling, Fid me 2, He spelled, Feed you? and you understood, you must tease the boy “Ew” you said aloud so he’ll hear and he huffs making you laugh
“Aww I didn’t know you guys can read each other minds” Yuta teases and kicks Taeil under the table 
Taeil shrugs “We’re that close”
You roll your eyes, feigning annoyance but you smiled at Taeil as he focuses on other people, joking and playing with them
“I’m hungry” Taeyong says making everybody listen to him, and Johnny nodding 
“What do you wanna eat my love?” He asks and you gagged, making him elbow you 
Taeyong chuckled and nodded “something sweet” he starts and hums
Johnny looks at everyone as they start suggesting food, Johnny and Taeyong turn down some till Taeil spoke “What about clouds?”
The whole room turned quiet and you stared at the boy in front of you, wide eyed while the room started to rumble with questions
“What the fuck is a cloud?”
“We’re talking about food Taeil”
“Taeil, are you stoned?”
“Since when can you eat clouds?”
You bursted out laughing once he starts to redden from your friends words before glaring at you “Y/n help me” You shake your head still too busy laughing, he growls “Its nothing, its an inside joke, you guys wouldn’t understand!” he huffs and lean against his chair, crossing his arms 
Your laughter died sown as you stared at him, his eyes meeting yours and you blushed, taking a bite of your tart, Why are you blushing? you asked yourself, Why is your heart beating so fast? you might pass out if it continues, surely you don't like Taeil, TAEIL of all people, not him
“Y/n did you hear me?” Jungwoo says making you look at him and apologetically shake your head making him chuckle “I asked when you started liking him”
“I don’t”
He raises his eyebrow “Oh really? cool, cause I have this friend who wants me to set them up with Taeil”
You glared at him “Do you wanna die?” you asked annoyed
He laughs and winks “I will once you admit of your feelings” 
You kicked him, then you hear the table buzz, looking up to see someone approach Taeil, shyly offering him a box, “I,” They smiles, cheeks painted red and you couldn’t help but glare at the new comer “I got you some chocolates, I hope you like them”
Taeil bows and takes the chocolates, and you look away, while Jungwoo looks at you, with a sly grin, and you point a threatening finger at him “Not a word”
Tumblr media
Taeil and you confessed in the least romantic way possible, but you loved it all the same, granted you both fought, but it was cute and emotional all the same
He mindlessly played with the flashlight, switching it on and off against his wall, you were asleep on his bed cause you had a fight with your dad about a boy and you decided that sleeping over at Taeil's for the night wouldn't be that bad, so while you slept you lent hi your phone cause his was broken, why? easy, you threw it against the wall cause he wouldn't turn off his alarm "You dance to this shit Y/n" "I don't mind breaking your arm too"
So there he was switching your phone's flashlight on and off after he got bored spamming your gallery with his face. He was a little out of it, but he knows you're awake "You'll drain my battery" you murmured
"It'll charge" He mutters "My phone on the other hand" he says a bit snappy
You pout "I said I'm sorry, and I'm repairing it ok?"
He shrugs and continued going though your phone
You sat up and leaned your forehead against his back "I'm tired I wanna nap again"
"And I wanna date you, we don't get what we want"
You looked up at him so fast that you thought you'd have whiplash "What?" you’re heart beating against your chest
He smiled slyly, trying his best to not blush and moving away from you “End scene” He laughs and playfully winks at you, he chickened out, he hates how angry he has been these past couple of weeks, he hates seeing other people approach and flirt with you, he hates being the subject when you call someone your bestfriend or your older brother, he hates how he can’t push people who wanna keep you away cause he has no right. He hates that it was starting to hurt to look at you, to think about you, its not fair that he likes you and you’ll never be in his arms the way he wants you to. He hates how you’re seeing someone, and it isn’t him. He hates the fact that he loves you, why out of all people, he could love, why you?
“Taeil!” You raised your eyebrow and your voice “What the heck was that supposed to mean “You were kidding?” you didn’t mean it, but sounded so offended and sad, does Taeil really like you? your heart thumped at a quick pace when he looks at you, searching your face for answer
He gulps “why?” he asks facing you “What if I wasn’t?
You stared at him processing “Well-” He moves to tilt his head waiting for you to answer him, you retaliated by hitting him on the shoulder “You didn’t answer me asshole”
He looks at your phone not answering, not fiddling with anything except the morse code app you had in there, turning the sound and you can hear the message
-.-- . ... / -.-- . ... /-.-- . ... 
“What the heck is ‘yes’ supposed to mean?” You started as he starts pressing the app to send you another message and you groaned “just tell me”
.. -- / -.- .. -.. -.. .. -. --. / .. -- / -.- .. -.. -.. -- -. --.
“I’m Kidding?” You read aloud and scrunched your nose “What the heck is that supposed to be? Tell me Taeil!” you yelled and moved slap your phone away from him when he tries to type a new code “Tell me, do you like me or not?” he stares at you “Was it a joke or were you serious?”
He looks at you in shock as you angrily told him those words, why were the you taking this seriously? you don’t like him, right? then why are you so angry? why is it affecting you? “What’s it have to do with you?” 
“Taeil just tell me”
“Why do you need to know if its a joke or not?”
“Just tell me”
“Why? You’re dating someone right now right? why do you need to know?”
“Taeil I’m not..”
“No, tell me why” You opened your mouth when your phone on the floor of Taeil’s room started buzzing, speak of the devil, your phone flashed with his name and it mad Taeil’s blood boil even more when you stood up to take your phone, he grabbed it from your hands before you could answer and threw it to the side, grabbing your wrist and pulling you back on the bed, keeping you there, a hand on your wrist and the other on your waist “Tell me”
You glared at him gripping his collar “What the hell is wrong with you?” You asked angrily “You’ve been salty ever since I asked if I could stay over! You don’t want me here? That’s fine, tell me, you don’t need to let me stay when you clearly don’t want me here!” You’re chest heaved and he could tell you’re just starting “you wanna know why I want to know the truth from you? Cause I care for you more then what a friend, a sibling should do. I hate seeing you with Kim Kochan or Lee Robin those two flirt with you on a basis, you know that right? they cling and keep you all for themselves and I hate it! I hate how fast my heart beats when you smile or when you buy me snacks cause they’re my-”
He cuts you off with a swift kiss to your lips. How could he not, you just confessed you liked him albeit angrily, you still confessed. His lips moved slowly against yours and you froze, your mind on hyperdrive, ‘till he pulled away “I like you too but you’re really loud when you’re upset, we shou-”
You rolled your eyes and pulled his collar, making him crash into you, kissing him again, this time you slowly moved your lips against his, his hands snaking around your waist, to pull you closer, your arms wrapping around his neck
He licks your bottom lip, you groaned softly and he happily sticks his tongue in, gently brushing over your tongue, making you slightly whine and he grins, keeping hold of your as you both play tongue-sies
He pulls away, a string of saliva being the only thing connecting you both before he groans softly at the sight “I love you” he breathes before leaning to trail kisses down your jaw and neck making you tilt your head upward giving him more room. He smiles at the shudder before gripping your waist and pulling on it to make you go up and straddle him “Taeil” you gasped at how bold he was being and he chuckles 
“Say it” he whispers against your ear licking a stripe on it while a hand travels under your shirt making you gasp at the coldness of his hand and the heat of your body, and he smiles “Please? Need to hear you say it”
“Really at a situation like this?” You huff and he only grins at you making you whine “I’ll tell you later, ok?” You tugged on his shirt, in a silent way to command him to do something, and only met with a shake of his head “Taeil” You whined again “fine, I love you too you big dork”
He smiles and happily kissed you again, holding you close before taking your shirt off and giving you everything you asked, encouraging him with every tug of his hair, a gasp and a moan of his name. He was addicted, he never wanted to stop to make you so whiny and needy and putty in his arms
He was happy that night, well dawn, finally having you in his arms, your neck covered in nothing but his marks, and he can see from his position your bruised waist. Oh and his hair, it was in pain, from the way you would pull and tug on it but he loved it, only reminding him that it was all real, his arms and shoulders were bruised but he just smiles at the slight sting before tightening his hold on your waist and kissing the shell of your ear
“No more” you whined and pouted “Please? I am so tired” you begged cupping his cheeks and he couldn’t help it he kissed your palms 
“Stop” he bit his lip and looked at you all wide eyed, seeing your expression, your marks and looking absolutely fucked that he swung his legs over and kissed your nose “Just, just one more, ok? one more round”
Tumblr media
“Dad!” Taeil grumbled “Are you serious right now?”
His dad nods “Yes” He points a finger at his chest “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care if you are sleeping around, as long as you don’t get STD’s or have a failing grade” He reminds “But any other than that, you’re free to do anything you want. You’re mother and I back in college, we had out share of fun”
Taeil covers his ears “no! no no, I don’t need to know, I don’t need to know my birth story, I don't need to know how sexy mom was, I am seriously going to run away screaming”
“Stop being a baby” His dad says and hits him upside the head, “I’m just saying, when you would sleep with someone, you stay over their place not the other way around, so I was wondering who is that? My son’s special someone? and also, I heard everything lastnight so I’m pretty sure it is a special person, and I wanted to ask if they’ll stay the morning cause, It’s my turn to make breakfast and I wanna know if I should add one more serving”
All of a sudden an excited squeal leaves his mother’s lips as she excitedly ran down the stairs and tackled Taeil “I am so proud of you” She praises and kisses him on the forehead “So so Proud”
“What happened?” His dad asks and She spins to look at her husband 
“It’s Y/n”
He blinks and looks at his son then his wife, around the same time the mom clinged once again to Taeil, “I have been shipping you both since you two were in the womb, I waited twenty one years for the two of you to get together” she squeals and hugs him “Even better you both slept with each other, Honey, cook an extra serving for Y/n. And Taeil good job, satisfying your partners needs in bed is much more important, I approve”
“Mom!” Taeil groans 
“Do you think Their parent’s know? we should invite them , lets go invite them!”

Pairings: Lierra x OC
(A/N : Hi again! I’m excited to announce that the song “You” in this chapter is written by me! :) So pls don’t steal it :( And I’m also less busy this month so part 6 might be out soon! So yeah, hope you enjoyed this chapter, See you in the next one!)
*Luke’s POV*
They arrived at Ashton’s. His palms are sweating, and his throat was getting dryer by the second. Sierra placed her hand on his shoulder, slightly calming his nerves. They stood in of his door. He hesitated on knocking, Sierra had tired of waiting and knocked. Nothing happened at first, Luke knocked this time. There were footsteps, and the door opened. “Look, its early in the morning, so what the fuc- Oh. You two. He groaned.  “ I-Is Iris here?” Sierra asked him.  “You didn’t check your phones?” He said, slightly irritated. The two took out their phones.
They checked their messages:
[10:00 pm, 09/10/2020] Iris <3 : Hey. Just wanted to tell you that I’m leaving for tour early. I cleared up everything with Ashley and my bandmates. I will be leaving at midnight tonight. You’re welcome to come and see me off, only if you want to. I’ll be with Ashley for the while leg of the tour, we might have separate shows, but we’ll wait for the management announcement.
[10:00 pm, 09/10/2020] Iris <3 : I just wanna say that I apologise for being so distant , I’ve been in a really bad headspace lately. I’m sorry. It’s my fault for making you mad, making Sierra upset and everything.
“Fuck.” he whispered. Ashton was staring at them, arms crossed. "Have you realized what you've done?" Ashton said. They didn't have the chance to speak. "You absolutely wrecked her, you know that? Both of you. I thought you're better than this. She came here, soaked to the skin. She could get sick, and you both know that she gets sick easily. She was trying to keep herself together. She on a verge on an attack, thank god Katniss was there to calm her down. I wanted to march up to your house and beat your ass . But Iris wouldn't let me, you know why? it's because she loves you, Lucas. And that's the only thing stopping me from beating your ass." He scolded. Luke was looking at the ground, ashamed.
"And Sierra, you know what the media could do. They'd do anything to tear people apart, fuck with their mental health, twisting lies into stories with without knowing the real truth. One article could turn people against each other. I really thought that maybe you would understand a little more about this." He said. Ashton was disappointed. He sighed. "Now that you have your answer, I have a lemon tree to save. Goodnight." He said, closing the door on them. The two walked back to their car.
What were they gonna do now?
*Iris's POV*
The live session was a blast. Once she felt sensation of the bass, the sound of the guitar, the kick of the drums, she never felt so alive. They were covering "I Don't Love You" by My Chemical Romance. She felt the problems slowly melt away when she started singing. She sang each verse with all she got. It was pure, raw emotion, the one that could make everyone tear up. It's like she was a different person. Long gone the Iris that was depressed. The Iris on stage now was, way more brighter and her eyes seems to shine with unshed tears. This side of Iris only comes out when she's performing. Usually, without the tears. The crowd cheered her on. She was smiling. The trio gave each other knowing glances, once the adrenaline from performing wears off, she would go back to the woman she was before.
Sad and empty.
They thanked the crowd and the host and went backstage. They were buzzing with adrenaline. "You guys, wanna grab some food before we go back to the hotel?" Maia said. Julia and Helena nodded. "Iris?" Helena said. Iris's head snapped up. "You okay there? Your lookin' a little bit pale, shortcake." Helena said. Iris rubbed her face. "I'm alright, Just need fresh air, that's all. Maybe something to eat." She said. The trio was looking at her worriedly. "Guys. I promise, I'm okay, don't worry." she shyly smiled, nervous from the looks her bandmates were giving her. "Macca's?" Julia said. "Sure." Maia said.
*timeskip*
"That's all your going eat?" Julia said. Iris was eating her veggie dippers. "Yeah. I'm not that hungry." she mumbled. "Bullshit. You haven't eaten anything since last night." Julia said. "Take some my fries." Maia said. "Maia, I can't take it. It's your food." she declined. "Iris, we won't let you fuckin' starve. We have a long night of performing coming up. And you need the energy." Maia said. Iris stared at the ground. Helena rubbed her back, "Please, Iris. We all know you have haven't been doing well." Maia said. "Fine."
"Good girl." Julia said. "Wow, Julia. I didn't know you were into that kinda of stuff~" Iris teased. Helena choked on her drink. Julia looked at Helena, confused. Maia shoved Julia's shoulder. The look of realization dawned on her face. "Oh. Iris, you kinky bitch." She said, smirking. "Well, someone's gotta be the Yuri in this club, and you guys don't have to balls to be him. " she teased again.
They heard cameras clicking.
"Paps." they said in unison.  “Shit.” Helena mumbled.  “We have to get out of here, quickly.” Julia said. The group got out and tried to get to Maia’s car. Iris was soon cornered by the paps.
“Iris, you know they can do better!”
“Is it difficult having TWO partners? Having to be jealous all the time and fighting for attention – what does that feel like?”
She kept quiet.
“What do you think to the rumours that you cheated on them? There’s evidence of you spending the night with a mysterious female.”
“You’re really nothing special though are you? They won’t stick around for long, whore.”
“We’ve seen the scars on your arms.”
“Don’t you think that’s a bad image for your band?”
“You should look into conversion therapy, disgusting whore.”
“What about your partners? Should they have to deal with that on top of everything they should be doing?”
“You’re nothing but a slut. A cheating, useless piece of shit.”
“You’ll be better off dead.”
“'Lena…” She mumbled, searching for any of her bandmates over the crowd, she felt her vision go hazy for a bit as she desprately tried to push through the paps. She was so close from losing her sanity. The paps was closing in, blocking her in. Insults was thrown her way. She was going to break.
Then she felt their arms. Helena's strong hand gripping hers and pulling her into their arms, cradling her against her chest and Julia pushing through the crowd telling the paparazzi to fuck off along the way.“Get away from her!” She pushed the paps away from the duo while Helena helped Iris up. “We just want answers!” One of the paps shouted back at them. “Well, you’re not gonna get any so take your camera, shove it up your fucking asshole, and fuck off!”
They got her into the car. Maia drove away from the scene as fast as she could. Iris's hands was shaking. “Iris?” Julia ask, her hand moving to cup her face. “Iris, come on.” Julia pleaded, she was desperately trying to help her calm her down, holding her hands and trying to help her breathe. “They said such horrible things.” Iris mumbled. “They’re just trying to get a response.” Helena said.
"Can we call, Ash?" she meekly asked. "Of course, shortcake." Helena said. Julia called him.
"Hey, Julia. Is everything alright?"
"Um... about that."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, we had a run in with paps eariler and they cornered Iris."
"What?! Is she okay? Did the paps do anything?"
"Well, they verbally harassed her. We might ask management to file a lawsuit. As for Iris? She's the reason why I called, wait a minute-
"'Lena take the phone."
Helena took the phone from Julia.
"Hey, Lemon boy"
"Hey, Helena. Is Iris with you?"
"Yup. Let me hand the phone to her."
"Thanks"
She passed the phone to Iris.
"Hey, Ash..."
"Hey, Sunshine. Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"
"They were closing in on me, taking photos of me and said bad things."
"What kind of bad things did they say, sunshine? "
"That I’m not good enough, they keep insisting that I cheated. They said that I look into converstion therapy-"
She was startled by Helena's hand on her shoulder. "Let it out." She mouthed to her.
"They joked about my scars, they said I would be better off dead." she choked out.
"They what?! Oh, Iris, I'm so sorry."
She sobbed.
" Iris, listen."
"What they said.... it's all lies. You hear me? They are lies. You are not what they paint you to be, they don't know who you really are. You are amazing. You are the most amazing person I know, the boys loves you.... even Luke. He came by with Sierra the night after you left. I didn't do anything, like I promise. But you bet I gave him an earful. But all that aside, Iris, you deserve to be here, and you are good enough. You make people happy. Your fans? They all love you, you make them smile, you make them feels safe. This will pass, things will get easier. I promise you."
"What if I fail to do so, Ash? What if I disappoint everyone?"
"You won't. Trust me, you are not a failure. You will get better. You will heal. You will be stronger than ever. You will make it through this."
"Are they alright?"
"You're seriously asking that? You're not okay and you're asking if they're alright?"
"Please Ash... I want to know."
They arrived at the hotel.
"Yes, they are. You don't have to worry. All you have to worry now is me giving you a lecture. Look outside."
"What?"
"Just look outside."
She looked outside to see Ashton, giving her one of his signature smiles. Beside him.....Luke and Sierra.
"Ashton?"
"Hey, sunshine."
She paled. She turned at the bandmates and chuckled shakily.
"Am I finally going crazy? Is they really here?"
She looked at Luke and Sierra, laughing disbelievingly. Shaking her head, she walked up to them. She prodded Luke at his chest angrily, as she laughed. "You had the fucking nerve to show up here." She was chuckling yet crying in the same time. "Where were you, Lucas. Where the fuck were you when I needed you?!" she said. She stumbled back, shaking her head. Iris's knees gave out. Maia reached out to steady her. "Can we get out of here, please?" She whispered to her. Maia looked at Helena and Julia. "Let's get her inside." She said, quietly. They nodded. They moved to get her inside. Sierra moved to stop them. "Let's talk this through, please." She said to Iris. Helena glowered at her. She stood in front Iris protectively.
"After what you've done, you think you could just come up here and expect her to talk? After the pain you put her through? No, ma'am. You lost that right." Helena said. "Hey, don't talk to her like that." Luke defended her. Julia stepped forward. "Don't think we forgot about YOU, Hemmings." She said. "You don't get to come up here, all high and mighty and expect that we let you go that easily." Helena said. “You two are fucking dumb if you really believe that's a way to treat our bandmate.” Maia said.
“If anyone should be arguing, it should be me.” Iris said, as she straightened up and six pairs of eyes snapped to her. "Thank you for standing up for me, guys." she said to her bandmates. They shrugged and smiled. "Pop off, bestfren." Maia playfully winked at her. Iris smiled and turned to face the duo. The look that they gave her made her newfound anger surge.
“You both don’t get to look at me like that.” She snapped, causing them to reel back in suprise. They never seen her this mad, never at them. "If you gave me the chance to talk back then, we wouldn't have this bullshit." she said. Their faces fell in guilt. The Iris she was before this would've cave in and forgive them but she was seething with anger now to care.
"If you'd noticed the sleepless nights I had, the bag under my eyes. If you'd have cared to even try and listen to what I had to say, maybe I wouldn't be fuckin' pissed at you right now!" Iris snapped and Luke flinched back.
If they'd only looked into her eyes, they would see the bottled up emotions that was threatening to explode. It felt wrong to see Iris so angry. She was always been the one to break up arguements, not start them. "Did you know how much suffering you caused me? Do you know how much pain I've been through? I never asked for this, you know? I never asked for us to fight. I hate fighting, you know that?" She said. She looked at them, they were looking down to the ground.
"Look at me." she pleaded. Her anger disappated. Their heads immediately snapped up."I d-don't think I contribute to this relationship anymore." her broken voice reached their ears.
"Iris!" They called out, but she's gone. Luke frantically searched for her. "Luke, we still have one more chance." Sierra said. "Sierra, there's no more chance. We lost her." He said. "And it's all my fault." he whimpered. "Luke, honey. We have her concert tickets, thanks to Ashley. Let's not waste this chance alright?" She said.
*timeskip*
Two hours till the concert. The stage staff were moving around, making sure that everything goes well. After the encounter, Iris fell in the hotel bed and proceeded take a long nap. And woke up just in time for rehearsal.
Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours. Iris drank some vodka that was prepared by the staff, it did so little to calm her nerves. She was pacing around. “Iris?” Her makeup stylist called out. Her head shot up, “Yes, David?” She said. “It’s time for your makeup, and then your outfit." He reminded. She smiled softly at him, "Alright, I'm coming."
She got dressed and sat on the chair."So what would we like on this wonderful night?" He said prepairing the brushes. "I was thinking of skeleton kinda look. Some black, a little red." She said. "That sounds good. Would you like some to put glitter on the black part?" he asked. "Sure" she nodded.
(A/N: Here’s the outfit. Credit to @boy..brainr0t for the makeup look)
Tumblr media
They made a small talk about the weather and the upcoming shows. Half an hour later, David finished. "Wow, you did a great job! I love it so much, thanks David! " Iris said, her mood brightened. "No probs, Iris." He said with a smile. She side hugged him and left the room.
"Looking good, shortcake! That choker looks deadly, in a good way." Helena hyped her up. Iris flushed. "Enough about me, look at your mohawk! The spikes are as deadly as my choker! " She said, smiling. "Can I.... touch them? " Iris said. It was like a child asking for candy. "Knock yourself out, shortcake. " She shrugged. Iris's eyes shined with excitement and she poked it. "It's rock hard, did you use hairspray?" she asked, "I did. Used a little bit of hair pomade. Gotta make sure it won't fall while performing." Helena explained. "That's cool." Iris giggled.
 "Hey, cuties!" Julia hollered from arcoss the room. "Its almost time, get your sexy asses over here!" Maia said alongside Julia. "Alright, alright, we're coming!" Iris shouted back. "You look like Gerard Way, Iris." Julia said. "Awh, Julia that's nicest thing you ever said to me" she joked. Julia playfully punched her in the shoulder. "Heeeey" She pouted. "Hey guys!" Ashley jogged over to them. "Hey, Ashley" They said. "You ready to go up there?" She asked. "Yeah, it's been a while since we last went on stage, still kinda nervous, but excited." Iris said. "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but you guys are up in 10" the stage manager informed them. "Alright, thank you for informing us" Julia thanked the staff. "You welcome." the staff said, then walked away. 
"Go get ready, I can't wait to see you guys out there." Ashley said, before leaving to get ready herself. "You ready?" Maia asked. " As ready as I'll ever be" Iris said. Her eyes shining with excitement. The group fistbumped each other and went on stage.
"GOOD EVENING, LONDON!" Iris screamed into the mic. The crowd screamed. "ARE YOU READY?" The crowd cheered. "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU" The crowd screamed.The intro for their song "You" started playing.
You, 
The thought of you makes me sick
Heaven and Hell doesn’t scare me anymore
Not when your with me
Why you gotta be so greedy?
I’m giving all I have to you,
But you keep asking for more,I’m dying, can’t you see? (Look at me)
My blood stains the floor
And I know you love seeing me like this
When it comes to you, (you temptress)
You act so innocent, like an angel in disguise
Always painting yourself as holy
But your tainted halo says otherwise, my dear
Iris sang, stomping her feet to the rhythm. She was smiling, looking out to the crowd. And then she saw familiar head of curls. It was Luke. Her eyes widened, trying to maintain her composure as she sang. She looked at Julia, who noticed them too.
Look at what you’ve become
My still beating heart you hold,
Your knife against my throat.
I’m on the floor, barely breathing (Gasping for air)
My mind tormented by your lies
There’s no escape from you (Never)
There’s no saving for me
“Oh, my darling sweetheart” you said,
With your hands around my neck 
“Let me own you” you whispered
Your cold breath makes me shiver
Death knocks on the door (It’s time)
She puts on a facade, performing all the energy she had. Maia and Helena soon caught up with the situation immediately. They were soon picking up on the energy that Iris is giving out. She was nervous. Very nervous.  Her heterochromia eyes instantly found blue ones.  She wanted to run off stage but her pride wouldn’t let her. What would the fans think of her if she did? She didn't want to be coward.
*Lierra's POV*
They were standing somewhat near to the stage, same as the people that are there, they were all waiting for the show to start. Soon, Iris came on stage along with her band mates. The crowd screamed and cheered.
"GOOD EVENING, LONDON!" she said. She sounded so different from 4 hours ago. She looked beautiful as always, her facial features were enhanced by her stage makeup. "ARE YOU READY?" They cheered. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" They cheered even louder.
Iris smirked. "Helena, darling. If you please." she said. They both knew it was her persona on stage to be a little flirty , but Sierra couldn't stop but feel a little bit of jealousy. Helena was smirking on the screen. " ONE, TWO, THREE-" Helena said, before she started playing the drums. The intro sounds familiar to them. Then Iris started singing.
In their eyes, she was the most ethereal being they ever seen. She was confident when she sing, it was beautiful.
Midway through the song, their eyes met. Luke could see her eyes widening. She turned to Julia. Julia gave her a brief nod. She turned to the front, with a smile on her face. He gave Sierra a look.She shared the same look, they clearly knew that she was faking her expression. And the thought of that made them feel even more guilty.
*Back to Iris*
Look at what I’ve become
My still heart you hold,
Your knife still against my throat.
I’m on the floor, still and silent
My mind corrupted by your lies
There’s no escape from you
There’s no redemption for me.
As she sang the last verse, the crowd cheered and clapped. She was a little sweaty and she was a little out of breath.  She kept on smiling. Her bandmates joined her at the front. Ashley comes on stage next. “Good Evening, London!” Ashley said. The crowd screamed. “ I would like to thank my good friends, The Temptress, for their AMAZING performance tonight!” She exclaimed. The crowd screamed again. "You welcome, Halsey." she said. 
In the corner of her she saw a sign. The sign said "It's Nia!". Her eyes shined. "Well won't you look at that, Hi Nia." She waved at the girl direction. A group of girls were screaming as she said that. "Thank you again for the wonderful gift you gave me yesterday, darling. I really appreciate it." She said. The group screamed again. She was smiling. A real smile. The camera was on her and the crowd screamed again. She and her bandmates said their goodbyes to the crowd and Halsey and went off backstage. 
She took off her facade and became unsually quiet. She plopped on the couch and drank the vodka she poured for herself. Her friends didn't know if they should comfort her or give her space. "Hey, shortcake." Helena said softly. Iris just leaned against her, her head on her shoulder. "You okay, bub?" Helena said. Iris just buried her face further into her neck.
 "I don't know, 'Lena."

Paring : Hyungsik X Reader
Summary : Hyungsik is running from Sasaeng and he bumps into you and asks you to help him escape. You help him, just not in the way he imagines.
Warning : There's like so much fluff and a tiny hint of violence.
Requested : Yes.
Tumblr media
——————————————————————————
"Hyungsik!! Look over here," one of the many fan girls screamed. He looked away, not wanting to make eye contact. His body guard just put his arm out to try and make Hyungsik feel a little better. The girls kept pushing and pushing, it's like he couldn't breath.
             "Try not to get lost kid," the security said. Hyungsik looked at him weirdly. 'What an odd thing to say' he thought. That's when he felt himself get pushed into the crowd. He caught the tiniest glimpse of the security looking away before smirking slightly.
              "Let go of me," he tried saying, pushing past some girls to get back into his mangers field of vision. But no one listened. It was this one group. They kept pulling and dragging him away from his manager and everyone he knew, in a foreign city. Yes he was still in Korea, but he was far away from the security of his home city.        
                   He was struggling all he could, to try and get away from the girls.
               "Hyungsik come with me!"
                      "No with me!"
               "You're all mental. He wants me!"
             He couldn't take it anymore. With as much force as he could muster, he rips away from their grips, and sprints in the first direction he sees. He didn't care if he was running away from his team, he only cared about getting away from the group of sasaengs that were following him. He rushes out of the airport and looks both ways before going right. He turns the first corner of an alley and peaks around to see if the girls knew where he had gone.
            He sees them exit the airport and look both ways. He could hear them, that's how close they still were.
               "Which way do you think he went, Yuri?"
             "I don't know, Eunji. Maybe he went across the street."
                 "Well we all have phones, so we'll split up. Yuri and Jisoo can go across the street. Jangmi and Yuna can go right, and Jinhee and I will go left. Call if you find anything."
                   All the girls nodded, and went their separate ways. Hyungsik moved as close to the wall as he could. He watched the girls walk passed and surprisingly they didn't look down the alley. He let out the breath he was holding and then he heard a scream. Both girls came racing down the street towards the alley he was in. He was quick to rush down the alley and into little pathways.
               Sadly they kept guessing the correct pathway, but he knew it was probably because they knew the city better than he did. They almost cut him off a few times but he was lucky enough to escape. 'I need to loose them' he thought, 'and when did they have enough time to call their friends'. He quickly lost his train of thought as he ran into someone, that someone being you.
             "Hey!" I shouted at a guy. He just ran into me full force and almost knocked me down. I grabbed onto him to try and stop from falling over completely.
                  "I'm... s-sorry.." he said panting. I looked him up and down. He was wearing a black turtle neck with a brown jacket. He had on jeans and boots with it. He was holding a bread case looking bag. I look down at my own outfit a little embarrassed. He looked nice and I was in pajamas.
             "Why are you running?"
                   "I'm being chased."
            "By who?"
                    "Sasaengs."
            "Why? Are you famous? Am I supposed to know who you are?" I question him. He looks supprized that I asked him that.
                 "So you don't know who I am?" He asks. I shake my head at him. I hear some shouting and look behind him. These alleyways did nothing but intertwine for days.
                "Crap," he whispers. I look back at him and he looks at me.
                "So I know we just met but you have to help me," he says. I give him a questioning look.
                "Why would I help you? I don't know you."
            "Exactly! That's why you gotta help me."
     I could tell those girls were getting closer, as their foot steps were getting louder.
             "What's in it for me?" I question. He gives me a weird look and sighs.
                 "I really hope you don't hate me after this."
            "After what?" This guy was acting so strange. I finish my sentence and am in shock. He pulled me into a kiss that deepened instantly. I don't know what came over me but I wrapped my arms around his neck. He tightened his grip on my waist and pushed me against the wall. The girls run by letting out fake gags and walk to the end of the alley.
               "Get a room losers," one of them yells down to us.
              The man starts kissing down my next and I glance over at the girls. They glare at me and start talking to each other.
               "I think he went this way."
              They start heading down the alley and that's when I realize what position I am in. A strange man that I don't know and have never met in my life, kissed me and is currently kissing my neck and I kissed him back. I shriek and push him away. I don't know what came over me, but I slapped him across the face and kneed him. He groaned and fell over a tiny bit. 
              "What in the name of, why did you knee me?" He puffs out angrily.
                   "I don't know you, and you just made out with me. I don't even know your name?!"
               "Hyungsik. Park Hyungsik. And you kissed back so I don't want to hear it." I roll my eyes at him.
          "You might as well come in Hyungsik Park Hyungsik." He rolls his eyes at my smarty remark, and follows me into the building. I take him up to my apartment and go straight into the bathroom. He looked around my apartment and came to his own conclusion that I didn't like that many colors or people. I come back with a first aide kit, and go over to him. I motion for him to sit on the couch, and he does as told.
             "I'll let you use my phone after to call someone if yours isn't in tact anymore. If it is then you can use yours." He nodded his head and let me clean the scratches on his face. He hissed as some stung way more than others. He scrunched up his nose. We were so close that I could hear the tiny whines he let out.
             "You're being a big baby ya know?" He glared at me, "It's just rubbing alcohol." I shrug and finish cleaning him up. If he wants to be like that, let him.
"I'm sorry I slapped you," I look into his eyes while saying that. He nodded.
"It's fine."
                   "So are you gonna tell me more about yourself, or are you gonna remain that one famous person that I saved, beat up and helped?" He sighed and turned to me.
              "I'm an actor and singer. I was in a group called ZE:A, but now I'm self promoting." I nodded and stood up.
                    "Well, are you hungry mister actor? I'm about to make dinner, and I can make some for you if you want." He nodded at me and I set to work trying to throw something together. I whipped up some ramen with fried eggs and kimchi. I also grabbed a couple of homemade croissants and some milk. I set everything on the table and ushered Hyungsik over.
               "Croissants?" He questioned once he saw them. I gave him a look and he laughed.
                  "You know, you haven't told me your name," he says in a teasing tone. I stick my tongue out and introduce myself.
                "Such a beautiful name," he smiles. I roll my eyes at him.
                   "Eat before I beat you again."
                  In no time he's finished his food and called his manager. He went to the other room so I couldn't hear what they were saying. I cleaned up the kitchen and dinning room until he came back out.
                  "So he'll be coming by later, apparently my hotel is across the city and he can't get out right now."
               He slumped down onto the couch next to me. I sighed and looked over at him. He just looked so perfect. 'His eyes look so soft and they're always shinning while looking at me''. Well of course they were, there was a light behind me. 'And his hair just looks so soft, I just want to lightly toss it'. That would be so weird. I shake my head and Hyungsik looks over at me.
               "What?" I huff out. He shakes his head and I hear a small nothing.
                      "Do you wanna watch a movie?" I ask.
              "Sure. Then maybe you can see why I'm so famous," he jokes. I shake my head and laugh a little.
                "I'm picking a movie that doesn't have you in it."
               It was about 10:45 and his manager still hadn't come. We were on our second movie, and I could tell he wanted to say something to me. I pause the movie and look over at him.
          "Common spit it out." He looks away and nodded his head. I didn't understand what that meant until he moved me around to face him.
              "I have something to say, and it's gonna sound super weird. I think I've already grown feeling for you. Now I don't want to ask you out, seeing as we just met, but could I get your number. I want to continue talking to you." I nodd my head, and give him my number. We sit there staring at each other for a couple of minutes and he starts leaning in. I do to, and as we're about to kiss, the doorbell goes of. I jump away from him, a loud coming echoing around my apartment. I fix my shirt and open the door.
              "Hello," a man says to me. I nodd and close the door a tiny bit.
          "I'm Hyungsik's manager, and I'm here to pick him up."
                  "Ah okay," I say, turning to look at him.
             "Why don't you come in?"
                  "Thank you." Hyungsik got up and hugged his manager. They did the little dude hug back pat thing. The pulled away and his manager started talking about something. I stopped paying attention and walked away to clean my living room. I just put up blankets and putting the movie back in it's case.
"So I was thinking," Hyungsik started. I look at him from over my shoulder. I didn't even notice that his manager went out to the car, leaving him to say goodbye.
"Maybe we could get coffee when I'm done shooting here?"
"Why, may I ask?"
"Because you're unlike anyone I've ever met. In a good way, that is." I laugh at him and nodd. I could tell he was slightly freaking out, not wanting to make it seem bad.
"Well I mean you have my number. It's a date." I walk him over to the door and as I'm about to close it, he leans in close and kisses my cheek.
"It's a date." I close the door, turn around, and sink to the ground. I smile and bite my lip a tiny bit. I don't know who this guy thinks he is, but he is in a bunch of trouble since he is famous. So am I. My smile drops. I've spent less than 12 hours with this man and am already falling head over heels. I get up off the floor and go over to my couch. 'Well I guess it's either now or never'.
I sigh and turn on the TV, getting ready to do some research. Just then my phone buzzes. I reach over and pick it up off the coffee table. It's from an unknown number.
~ Can't wait to see you when I get done here!!
Hyungsik
I smile to myself and know that I'm gonna have to rethink some life decisions. I add his number to my phone and make a mental note to text him back. I'm so glad I decided to take out the trash instead of procrastinate.

Bob
Bob-Original Character. 
Warning: Crack (yes, I found crack!) vulgar, violent, bad humor, toasty cinnamonrolls Hubert abuse
Part 1
He confidently strides around the grounds of the Monastery like he owns the place. Noone dares to tell him he doesn’t.  He’s always been curious, his quest for knowledge knows no bounds. That Riegan kid? An amateur next to him. The poisons and potions that boy comes up with? He made those before he was 9. Riegan is always bragging about Lysithia. Youngest girl to graduate from the School of Sorcery, she is such a prodigy, bla, bla, bla. He had graduated before his 10th birthday. His graduating thesis rewrote the book on transmogrification.
He doesn’t care for Claude practically sticking his tongue in Professor Byleth’s ear at every turn. Okay, so the doof hasn’t quite done that, but he can see that the guy really ‘breathily’ speaks in her ear, so he may as well be. Bob is not jealous. Byleth doesn’t interest him. Not in that way. He knows she’s the best choice for Professor for the Blue Lions. Golden Deer are too chaotic and disorganized. The Black Eagles are practically run by the Agarthans, unfortunately those idiots can’t see it. Besides, its easier to ‘fit in’ with the people of his ‘land’.  He’s a noble, in the loosest sense of the word.
His fellow Blue Lions will follow Dimitri to hell and back. Little do they know that Dimitri already has one foot in hell. The guy is nuts. The things he talks about in his sleep, well, Bob’s seen people like that before.  They have endured some really heavy shit and trauma. Usually it’s a one-way trip. Dimitri’s hanging on by a thin frayed thread and only Dedue is keeping him grounded. Looks like Professor Byleth is picking up on it. Saving Dedue’s life was the best thing that ever happened to Dimitri.
Now Sylvain, he got a rotten deal handed to him. Don’t blame him for his coping mechanism of getting back at the girls that are after him for his goods and not him. A bit self-destructive, but he does kind of enjoy it, until it goes south. Step in Ingrid, to save him. She’s such a knight in shining armor, rescuing princess Sylvain every time. Felix, he needs a complete emotional enema. He’s been blocked up since his brother died. His father’s been blocked up since his wife died. Felix locked down all of his feelings and emotions only letting out anger and hatred. Any time he has a feeling related to kindness or love, he beats it out of himself by training to death. Ashe, there is a sweet young man. A cinnamon roll through and through. He’s been through tough times and better times. You just can’t let harm come to a freaking ray of sunshine like him. Annette is definitely in the cinnamon rolls covered in sunshine category as well, even though her conception sperm donor is a dick. Daddy Gustav, ugh, Duscur screwed him in the head too. ‘I failed as a knight. I couldn’t protect them.’ So you dump your family, stick your thumb in your ass and watch Dimitri fall apart? Really? Yeah he super sucks as a father type thing. Mercedes is a fun girl. She’s seen some shit, yet she is so motherly to all the Lions. She is not one to give up, even on her loser psycho brother.  
Bob is a model student. He watches the idiotic pranks that Sylvain pulls.  Fart jokes? That is third grade stuff. They have the big mock battle between the classes in a few weeks. Bob catches the redhead getting turned down by Felix when he invites his bff to town to check out some girls. Bob just happens to be near the door when Sylvain exits.
“Hey man, heard you may be heading to town. Need a wingman?” Bob offers.
“Only if you buy the first round.” Sylvain grins.
They head out the front gates to the town on the other side of the woods. Talking about their favorite types of girls, Sylvain is ready to hit up anything in a skirt by the time they hit the closest drinking establishment. Half an ale gone and the redhead has found a couple of prospective tarts ready to take a bite out of.  Bob takes a seat next to a young brunette cleric who shyly smiles as he sits. They chatter amicably, before the evening is over, he knows of her family, history, deity (not Sothis, gasp) how long she has done this, life’s dreams, battle experience, her strongest spells, affinities, favorite foods, shoe size and her birthday. Sylvain returns to the tavern a bit disheveled and a grin from ear to ear.  Bob bids his little friend good night. Once he is finished suffering through the heavily detailed victorious encounter that the handsome cavalier has just experienced, Bob changes direction of the conversation to the redhead himself.
“Dude, why do you act like such a fuckup? Felix hits it right on the nose every time and you just crumble. You are much smarter than you lead everyone to believe. You hold back on your magic. You can handle a lance like nobody’s business. If you practiced some, get your speed up, you’d be deadly. What’s the deal?” Bob doesn’t exactly hold back.
“Look,” Sylvain whines, “I know I’m a fuckup. My father has my life lined up for me. He’ll pick out who I marry, I’m stuck watching over the Gautier territory, making crestbabies to grow up and wield the Lance of Ruin. My brother was fucked over by my father for not having a crest. I had to go out and kill him. My own brother. My whole life is so messed up, why should I even try?”
Bob leans over and whispers into the redhead’s ear. “Man, the winds of change are coming. This whole godessdamned world is going to be flipped upside down. Just when you think it can’t get any worse it does. It’s gonna be a mess. Then one day, there’s going to be a light in that darkness, and the world is tilted again. All the slates are going to be wiped clean and I intend on being there to rewrite it all. I just want you to come along for the ride, dude.”
Sylvain looks at Bob like he’s got two heads. “How much did you have to drink while I was gone? That is some crazy heavy shit. Whatever it was, you gotta buy me some next time.” He laughs as they get back to the monastery gates.
------------------
Bob quickly becomes bored with the highly censored library in the monastery and decides to find where the one is in Abyss. Besides, he hates the skinwalker librarian. The creep likes to hand out anti church of Seiros paraphernalia to anyone that would take one. Bob knew of Abyss long before he had ever arrived. He found out more information about Garreg Mach on the outside than on the inside. Once you go past the front gate, the church folks zip their lips shut. He sneaks around a few tunnels, keeping his eyes peeled for anyone nearby. Noting some footsteps slowly moving closer, he blends in with the walls. Two girls walk past, he’s just about to let them keep going, but he recognizes one of them.
“Hapi?” Bob softly gasps.
“Dipshit! Long time no see, jerk!” Hapi runs over and hugs him.
The taller blonde girl stands, waiting for a proper introduction.
“Oh, Coco, this is my friend, Dipshit. He helped get me out of the terrible place where, you know, those guys were.” Hapi says.
The noble woman offers her hand, “Constance Von Nuvelle.  I am temporarily living here, however I strive to restore House Nuvelle to its finest glory.
Bob takes her hand, kissing the back of it, “I am very honored to make your acquaintance. How fortunate to meet such a beautiful woman as yourself in such an interesting location.”
Constance Nuvelle giggles at his introduction. Bob is all OMG she is so CUTE.
Hapi gives him the stink-eye “Aaanyyway, we should prolly take you to meet Yuribird. He’s the boss around here. “
So they meander over to the class room and meet Yuri. Tall, beautiful, with an air of mystery for kicks, Yuri greets the newcomer. “Any friend of Hapi’s is welcome.”
Bob explains his presence. “I’m not here to get in your business. Just wanted to check out your library. If I find anything useful to you, I know where to go with it. Mostly I am interested in all the crap that is going on topside.”
Yuri walks with him to the place where Seteth’s banished books have been stored. Bob tears into it like a man starved. Feeding on everything he can get his hands on.
Yuri decides to be sociable for a moment. “Whatcha looking for friend?”
Bob “the usual. Nabatheans, Agarthans, saints, Nemesis, relics, bloodlines, histories that may be a little closer to the truth than what they have upstairs. “
Yuri nods. “Sure. Have at it.”
“I’ll let you know if I find anything about the Crest of Aubin or the rest of you guys.” Bob offhandedly remarks looking through a few books.
Yuri starts cleaning under his nails with a particularly sharp dagger. “Funny, no one mentioned Crests, much less if anyone has one.”
“I can smell ‘em.” Bob says indifferently. “One of their experiments gone haywire. Hapi and I did time together. Ask her, she’s where I got my crest.”
“Have fun.” Yuri quips before heading out, stashing his dagger.
Bob is devouring this library. Opens every single book on every single shelf. Divides them into piles. Church, Magic, research, Agarthans, useful, and crap.
Encyclopedia of Fodlan’s Insects. Insects is what the Agarthans call Nabatheans. Winged bugs that need squashing. It also describes items forbidden by the church. These of course are things the Agarthans have used for centuries. Telescopes, viewing lenses, metal printing presses, decent condoms. Bob laughs out loud at the section on autopsies. Wouldn’t want you poking around inside someone’s head or chest. May accidentally find a crest stone or worse rattling around in there. Bob finishes sorting the upper levels of the Shadow Library. He hands a few books to Yuri to peruse, telling him to hang on to them, Bob would like a close look when he is done. Bob shuffles off with armful after armful of books, taking them to a quiet little nook that Yuri has permitted for him. Not much bigger than a closet, but its enough room to keep the books secure. Just as he’s on his last trips, who should happen to arrive at the library but Hubert von Vestra.
“Hey Bro, what the fuck you doin’ down here?” Bob impolitely and arrogantly asks.
“You. Why don’t you crawl back under your rock.” Hubert curses.
“Surprised to see you standing up. Usually you’re on all fours licking her high and mightynesses boots.” Bob shakes his head, getting his black and white bangs out of his eyes.
“Lady Edelgard deserves all of my praise and loyalty for everything she has been through. House Vestra shall always be at her service.” Hubert stiffly replies.
“Yeah, how’s that working out for you. She hasn’t been through half the shit I’ve been through. She’s barely holding it together. What’s fucking hilarious is she’s relying on you to help her keep it together. You still haven’t gotten over killing father. You should’ve let me know. I’d’ve done it in a heartbeat. Can’t wait till I can slit my beautiful mother’s throat and listen to her gurgling as the life flows from her.”
“He denounced you. You are not a Vestra.” The Black Eagle spits out.
Bob puts his hands on his hips. “Gimme a break. You and I are cut from the same mold. Same greasy black hair, at least I take care of mine. Same strong chin, handsome cheek bones, body structure. Hell we have the same color eyes from father. Just because I’m your half bro doesn’t mean I’m not part of your family. We’re both drawn to black and dark magic. We wield spells far above our fellow students. Just think of the things we could do together. “
“No. You are crude, undignified, unprodigious, and disgusting inside as well as out.” Hubert spits.
“We’re twins! I’m just the better looking one. Just ask anyone. You stand around like a starving vulture ready to pounce on everyone. Always looming and leering. That creepy guy intimidation thing only gets you so far. You need to work on your charm.” Bob schmoozes, moving closer to his half brother.
“I’ve had enough of this.” Hubert gives a disgusted frown and warps away.
“I love dicking with him. Fucking dickwad.” Bob laughs a deep and frightening laugh that scares some female out in the hallway who screams and runs away.
----------------------------
When Flayne goes missing, Bob becomes unhappy. She’s a sweet and innocent girl. Yeah, she’s got dragon blood and all that, but really she’s nice. Cinnamon roll nice. Too nice to be caught up in any Agarthan mess. And this kidnapping has Agarthan written all over it.
Bob shows up behind Hubert, smashing his face into a wall and nicking his half bro’s throat as he puts a dagger under his chin. “Tell her to call the Agarthan dogs back. Tell her how wrong it is to work with them. They are not your friends. The enemy of your enemy crap doesn’t work. They are only using you, not the other way around”
Hubert, bloody nosed from having it smashed into a wall mutters, “I will bring it up in our next conversation.”
“Yeah. Talk about it. All talk, no action.” Bob disappears through the wall. He materializes in the library behind Ashe.
“Ashe, take off your baseball cap.” The cool dark mage orders.
The grey haired cinnamon roll takes off his hat and sits very straight in the comfy chair in the library. He can feel the hand patting his head, then stroking his hair from the top of his head down to his neck.
“Good boy, you are a good boy Ashe.” Bob begins his mantra, praising and patting.
“Yes. I am a good boy.” Ashe repeats, closing his eyes.
Thirty minutes later Ashe is happily asleep curled up in the chair and Bob no longer has steam coming out of his ears. Bob looks around the library. Where is that Thomas creep anyway? Bob goes to the upper levels where Thomas’ desk is located. Pinned to the bulletin board is a cartoon of Rhea tied to a stake while they light a huge fire under her. A poster in Medieval script saying “Dragons must Die!!!” A stack of love poems devoted to Catherine, his forbidden love.  And a large, oversized rubber stamp that says “DENIED”. But no sign of Thomas. Bob decides to pay the gatekeeper a visit. He floats down the three flights of stairs to the main level. Not only because it is cool if you can float, but he also won’t trip over one of Claude’s 17 pairs of roller-skates he leaves everywhere, especially on stairs.
“Greetings Bob, nothing to report.” The gatekeeper happily greets the black and white haired mage, cheerfully looking up into his piercing citrine eyes.
“Hey Keeps, you ever see the librarian head out of these gates?” Bob asks him in a deep, sultry voice.
“Oh yeah, I guess he left almost a week ago. I bet he’s going out to chase down some overdue books. Had a large empty sack on his shoulder.” Gatekeeper smiles ever so widely, a blush to his cheeks as he stares deeper into Bob’s eyes.
Caspar overhears the conversation, gasps, and runs straight to Linhardt’s room to save his best friend from being sentenced to death for his lack of library returns.
Bob returns to his room for the night to ponder the mysteries of the universe, Flayn’s location, why does Felix do that thing with his hair, and why does Dimitri find Alois’ jokes funny? They suck so bad. Is it the madness?
-----------
Breakfast with the Blue Lions is enlightening. There are rumors of some sort of dude that dresses up like the grim reaper, complete with scythe that is creeping out the people in the village. Just one more thing to add to the list of the weird crap that is going on around this place. As he walks across the courtyard, some guy from the kitchen bumps into him.
“Hey, watch it, bud.” Bob giving the guy the eye.
Kitchen guy stops him. ”Have you seen Manuela?” he asks as blood is dripping down his arm.
Bob holds his hands out like he is holding two invisible watermelons to his chest, “Really big…?”
The guy nods.
Bob smirks, “Never heard of her. What were you doing?” Bob curiously asks.
“Peeling potatoes. Knife slipped.” Kitchen guy says, not looking so good. Bob knows to avoid potatoes for dinner.
“Head for the training grounds, healers are always hanging out there for practice opportunities.” Bob says before heading to the stable area.  Just as he walks past the Knights quarters, he hears a shriek in a perfect “C”. Probably Manuela. Just before he goes inside he stops a guy standing out front telling him to get the Blue Lions. You know, the group with the really tall hot blonde guy? Yeah, those Blue Lions.
The mage runs down the hall and finds a door partially open. He pushes it the rest of the way to find Manuela lying on the floor. She’s reaching out for something by the wall, as Bob gets closer he can smell them, Agarthans. He feels around and there’s a secret passage that opens wide to show a path down to the stink. The dark mage heads straight down the hole, lighting every torch on the way to guide the rest of his house. The Professor arrives at the bottom of the stairs to find all of the enemies in the immediate area are on fire. Bob is currently hurling fire spells through the gate at the enemies in the next room. “Die motherfuckers!! MUahahahahahahaha! Eat this!” Bob screams as he throws another fireball at one of the guys in the next room who tries to hide as far in a corner as possible, but still winds up having his robes catch fire and he screams in agony.
Byleth places her hand on Bob’s shoulder, whispering in his ear. “Calm down dude, you’re frightening the kids. Don’t scar our cinnamonrolls.”
Bob pulls a fist in front of his mouth. “Oopsie. Sorry. Was over excited. ::cough cough::”
The Blue Lions take over from here. Ashe unlocks the door as Felix and Sylvain rush in followed by Dedue and Ingrid. The professor heads to the left to unlock another gate.
Bob reaches over to pat Ashe on the head. “Good boy, you are such a good boy.”
Ashe smiles as his eyes glaze the slightest bit.
They move forward quickly wiping out the soldiers that are nearby. Felix and Sylvain take some warp tiles that send them to various places in the area where they can deactivate trap tiles. They all are joined together at the door in front of the death knight. Ashe opens the door. Bob’s already materialized in the room and hitting the big masked dude on the horsie with Dark Spikes T when the Flame Emperor shows up to send horsie boy off.
Flame Emperor “Go home Creepy McCreepface, you done good. I am the Flame Emperor. I will reforge the world.” And with that they both warp off.
Professor “We need to get these kids out of here.”
Bob, “I’ll grab Flayne, leave that other one, it smells bad.”  He tosses Flayne over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry. Bob carries her all the way to the infirmary. When putting her on a cot, he notices that her shirt sleeves were sliced open to her armpits and there are multiple holes in her arms where the evil bloodsuckers have taken her blood multiple times. He whispers to Manuela that the girl is a few quarts low, then he leaves.
Bob heads straight to Hubert’s room. His half brother isn’t there, so he waits for him to show up. So he’s not too bored, he goes into his brothers notes on spells and adds a few extra lines here and there to Sigils and changes ingredients on some poisons.
As soon as Hubert enters the door he is tripped then given a knee in the back while his dear half sibling repeatedly smashes his face into the floor.
“I told ::slam:: you not ::slam:: to work ::slam:: with them. ::slam slam:: Fucking idiot! ::slam slam slam::
Hubert’s nose is quite crooked and he can’t breathe correctly through it now. “I toad her, but she woodit lissen.”
Bob continues his rant. “Now we have a kid that suddenly appears from being gone last year. “ He definitely does airquotes on the word “suddenly”. “She’s one of them, I know it. Dump her. Dump the Agarthans. And wash your hair sometimes, ew.” Bob disappears through the floor, listening to Hubert call him a few names that weren’t in the book. Bob needs to write those down.
----------------------
It was time for the Battle of the Eagle and Lion and no Deerz allowed. Byleth has been working them pretty hard, advancing Bob as quickly as she can in magic certifications. He’s got reason down better than anyone in the group, so he’s been teaching them more advanced spellcasting. Byleth doesn’t say much but she catches on fast. If you can get Annette to shut up and concentrate, she does an amazing job. Mercedes doesn’t have her heart in it but manages to get a few reason spells down, Fire for sure, and Thunder is getting better. Felix is great with Thunder. Sylvain would be great with fire, but he screws around too much.
The horn signals for the battle to begin. Bob immediately heads for the back lines of the Black Eagles, materializing behind Linhardt, stabbing him with a blade covered with a powerful sleeping concoction. Lin would probably thank him. Bob heads over to behind Marianne in the Golden Deer. He whispers “good night, sweetie” in her ear before he holds a cloth covered with the same powerful sleeping potion. Lying her carefully on the ground he hides out in the nearby bushes to find out where Lysithia has gone off to.
He watches Ferdinand and Sylvain get into it. Handsome redheads on horses stab at each other repeatedly with pointed sticks. Finally, Sylvain gets the upper hand, but not by much. Ferdinand is out and heads to the boundary lines. Sylvain heads back to Mercedes for a bit of patching up. Annette is working on whittling down Ignatz, blowing his arrows off course as she attacks with wind spells. The professor is taking out Raphael and Claude.  Bob decides to throw a mire at Hilda. She screams about her hair and how gross the magic muck feels all over her and gives up. Felix is giving Leonie a workout.  Sylvain is back and taking on Lorenz. Lorenz throws a decent Fire spell at Sylvain, causing the redhead’s horse to rear up, he still is able to stay on the steed and then counter Lorenz with a decent lance jab that knocks the grapeheaded guy off his horse.
The battle continues on. It is between the lions and eagles, the deer are out. Its very helpful at this point that the eagles have no healer except for Dorothea. Her magic is going to be defensive not attacking for the most part. Edelgard marches down the field heading for Dimitri and Dedue, followed by Hubert and Caspar. Bob lost track of Petra and Felix, not sure who won that match. Bob grabs a large wooden sword lying on the ground and materializes behind Hubert. Swinging the flat edge of the blade at full force at the back of Hubert’s head, Bob provides Hubert with the headache of the month.
“Blockhead.” Bob smirks as he watches the dark mage fall and Bob disappears into the ground just under the swing of Edelgard’s axe. Bob shows up in a copse of trees not far away watching the rest of the blue lions completely wipe out the black eagles.
---------------------
Bob is in Abyss, in the laboratory of the most creative and beautiful sorceress he has ever met.
“Darling, would you be so kind to join me for lunch today? I would be ever so honored and grateful if you would grace my humble presence with your enlightening company.” Bob croons.
“Ever the charming one, pumpkin. However I must decline as I have serious potions to concoct today and they simply cannot mix themselves.” Constance smiles ever so sweetly, batting her eyelashes.
“Ahh. I so adore your everworking and brilliant mind, however you do need nourishment for your delectable body. If I may, I will retrieve lunch from above and bring it back to provide you with the energy needed to complete your serious tasks. “ Bob dashingly offers, his hands on his hips, his hair waving in the breeze, a sparkle shows on his teeth with a ding.
“I suppose I must acquiesce to obtaining sustenance. Having your handsome face as accompaniment is also a great pleasure. Please do go, with haste and fetch our midday feast.” Coco wiggles her fingers, encouraging him to hurry.
“But of course my flower, my jewel. I shall return poste haste.” Bob says, holding his palm open for her to gently place her hand within it so that he may delicately kiss the back of her hand, and then lick it for good measure.
He then disappears through the floor, only a minute later to walk through the wall behind her.
“Every moment away tears at my heart, my sweet lady. I am overjoyed to have returned and bask in your beauty once again. Please join me.” The handsome dark mage waves a hand at the beautifully set table complete with two darling candelabras with Ashen Wolves colored candles, napkins and tablecloth.  
They sit on the same side of the table. Bob smiles and he feeds her bite after bite until she is satisfied. Next time he may even offer to chew if for her if she so desires. He takes a napkin and lightly dabs at the corner of her mouth.
“There my precious one.” Bob coos in her ear. “Have you been sated? Is there anything else that I may obtain for you? I would pull the stars from the sky if you would only ask for them.”
Constance smiles, a bit of green something stuck on her teeth, “Nah, I’m good. “
Bob helps her from her chair and walks her back to the laboratory table. “Ahh. Then, although it pains me to do so< I shall leave you to your work.” He says before snapping his fingers, clearing the table.  
Bob dips her, giving her a face sucking kiss until her skin on her cheeks is almost purple, as he stands her back up she is completely gasping for breath, trying to cool herself with her fan. She has a severe case of the vapors. He then rises into the air, disappearing through the ceiling.
----------------------------
Remire Village. Nice place if you like living in Hell!!!! Whole place is aflame. Dimitri is acting like Frankenstein’s monster getting creeped out by the flames everywhere giving him flashbacks of Duscur. Felix is getting flashbacks of feral Dimitri. Sylvain is getting flashbacks of the girls he had dated here, they’re all monsters now and after him. Ingrid is having flashbacks of when she was camping and her marshmallows AND her hotdog fell into the campfire. Bob is busy covering the eyes of Annette and Ashe to keep them from as much of the horror as possible, the smell around him of burnt cinnamon is concerning. Somehow they save the villagers, Thomas’ skin is removed from Solon, a pasty white older than dirt uglier than sin guy. Professor B beats up the old guy pretty quick and pastyboy heads for the hills.
The Death Knight is there. Bob pulls the cinnamon rolls over and whispers in their ears.
“Hey kids, would you like to see your dear Uncle Bob get rid of the McKreepface guy on the horse? I’ll let you laugh at him while he burns, okay?”
Ashe and Annette nod their heads very quickly has Bob hands them each a bowl of popcorn and a box of milkduds for the show.
“Huzza-huzza-HOOM! You’re about to meet your DOOOOOOM!” Bob cackles as the magic of Dark Spikes T whips from his fingers and chomps on the body of the Death Knight like Godzilla eating buildings in Tokyo. The only thing left of the dude is a Dark Seal that Bob wraps in a pink bow and hands to Professor Byleth.
“Don’t you want this, Bob?” the Professor asks.
“Nope, mother got me one for my birth day. Figured you could use a spare.” The dark mage quips.
The Flame Emperor shows up. “Deathknight, you’re having too much fuuuuuuuuuck! What did you do to my pet?”
“Chomp chomp bitch.” Bob says making hand gestures like his fingers are teeth chomping towards her face.
Jeralt is angry. “So you’re the one that did this to my favorite village?”
“No, no, you got it all wrong.” The Flame Emperor backpedals. “Yeah, Solon works with me, but man I didn’t know he was going to pull this shit.”
“Come to the dark side!” Flameface pleads. “I will give you cookies…”
“We got Mercedes, your cookies suck compared to ours. Oh, and you suck too.” Says Byleth.
“Look, Solon and his buddies, they are powerful. Together, me, you, The Sword of the Creator. We can take them down.” Flame face
Bob pulls his right hand into his sleeve to make it look like it’s been cut off. “I’ll never rule the universe with you!”
Dedue runs up saying his Princeliness is missing. Bob grabs his two cinnamon rolls protectively.
“Don’t let Mr. CrazySpaghettihead scare you. Lets go get some icecream.” Bob says leading them to the monastery.

My Review of Grand Blue
Tumblr media
How did I get into this anime? Well, I heard there were some good reviews about this particular title. It was one of those animes I probably should have watched in summer 2018, but more than likely I was watching some sequel no one remembers.
Iori Kitahara just moved to an ocean-front town to live with his uncle since he lives near Izu University (a school Iori was accepted into). His uncle owns a scuba diving shop that serves as a local hangout for members of the school’s diving club. Little does Iori know that this is a local hangout to get FUCKING SHIT-FACED!!!
Tumblr media
I am not making this up. These members drink like it’s going out of business. And usually these drinking binges end up with blackouts and public nudity. In Iori’s case, he got so black-out drunk that he woke up in front of his new university’s courtyard…on the first day of school…only wearing his boxers! I’m beginning to see why Amazon put out an advisory at the beginning of each episode about drinking responsibly. But aside from drinking with a bunch of meat-head senpais, there’s also diving. Yeah, club activity is actually diving into the ocean.
Tumblr media
So let’s dive into this college-leveled, binge-drinking club as we meet some interesting characters like, a raging otaku (Kouhei), Iori’s cousin with “Permanent Resting Bitch-face Syndrome” (Chisa), a girl who should get a makeup tutorial on Youtube (Aina), two meat-head senpais (Bukki and Tokki), Drinky McStripsItAll (Azusa), and Chisa’s “loving” older sister (Nanaka).
BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: So this is an Anime Prime exclusive, so I doubt I’d be hearing a dub to this any time soon. The sub has quite the line-up of seiyuus including that upcomer I’ve been raving about all 2019, Yuuma Uchida. But a lot of well-known folks like Kana Asumi and Hiroki Yasumoto (who can literally play anything at this point) shine in this anime. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.
*Iori is played by Yuuma Uchida (Kyo on Fruits Basket 2019, Uenoyama on Given, Chika on Kono Oto Tomare, Sun on Oresuki, Ash on Banana Fish, and Shirazu on Tokyo Ghoul :re)
*Kouhei is played by Ryouhei Kimura (known for Hinata on Angel Beats, Hachiken on Silver Spoon, Takizawa on Eden of the East, Judar on Magi, Taishi on Tokyo Ghoul, and Hiyori on Free!)
*Chisa is played by Chika Anzai (known for Mina on Attack on Titan)
*Aina is played by Kana Asumi (known for Taneshima on Working!!, Ran on Shugo Chara, Kazakiri on Index, Yuno on Hidamari Sketch, Nagisa on Madoka Magica: Rebellion, and Tachibana on Nisekoi)
Tumblr media
FAVORITE CHARACTER: I’m gonna say that after watching all 12 episodes; Aina (a.k.a. Cakey) grew on me. Horrible caked-on make-up aside, let’s be real here.
I think it’s because of the development we see with her ever since she was introduced early in the series. We see a girl trying her damndest to fit in with the tennis club only for it to blow up in her face (literally when we’re talking about all that makeup that’s “caked” on her face). Yeah, these guys treated Aina like garbage! But after joining the diving club, we see her be herself and slowly trust those around her. I think it’s more of this character resonating with me in some sad aspect, but I too feel the pain of trying to fit in or not wanting to let anyone down. Anyways, Cakey is my girl!
Tumblr media
Poor dear, I feel your pain.
SHIPPING: So Iori is now a college lad and getting smashed eight ways from Sunday. And I’m sure he’s going to have his own picks of the ladies when he isn’t drinking with an otaku and a bunch of meat-heads.
Tumblr media
…Or he can get freaky with his blood cousin!
*eyeball twitch*
ANYWAYS, Chisa has made her point clear with the disgusted face she makes whenever she’s around Iori. But in anime terms, we know that she has that classic tsundere syndrome. So when someone like Aina comes into the picture and Iori sticks up for her, jealousy arrives like a fucking A-bomb! Despite Chisa announcing to a wide, public setting that Iori was her boyfriend (while he was passed-out drunk), nothing too scandalous happened with this. It was just so she could keep creepy boys away. Honestly, I really have no problem if Chisa and Iori hook up. It’s actually better than Chisa being with someone who has an unhealthy obsession with her.
Tumblr media
I don’t want to say Nanaka has a thing for her baby sister, but this is getting too borderline Yuru Yuri that I have to say something about it.
I’m pretty sure Aina might be a contender after all Iori has done for her throughout the series. It’s just that she can’t stand all that binge-drinking and getting buck-naked at any moment.
Tumblr media
And then there’s wild card Azusa! She’s a flirt! What else can I say about her? She teases Iori every chance she gets. Hell, near the finale she tantalized Iori in sex. Wasn’t sure if she was kidding or if she really meant it! However she did shove a leek up Iori’s ass, but that’s because he was sick.
I swear this is normal behavior.
By the end of the series, we really didn’t get much in terms of full-on hookups. Many misunderstandings have occurred involving word-play. Iori, Kouhei, and their band of geeky friends are still virgins (though one of them came very close to sealing the deal). One of the meat-heads has a girlfriend (did not see that one coming). But on a positive note, Chisa and Iori’s friendship has been pretty steady. I wonder how long that’ll last!
Tumblr media
ANIMATION: I gotta say it, the facial expressions on these characters were a laugh-riot. It wasn’t like this was pathetically sad that I have to laugh at it. But more of how expressive these characters got when they have to express hatred or disgust! This is more for comical expense and I happened to like it. It’s like with the anime Prison School, all the facial expressions worked in their favor. This, while out of place some of the time, never fails to make me laugh.
ANIME REFERENCE: While shopping for gear for an upcoming diving expedition, Kouhei came across two suits that would make any old-school otaku squeal.
Tumblr media
The suits of Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion in diving suit form. And Kouhei got Chisa and Aina to try them on!
ENDING: At the end of episode 9, the diving club is heading to Okinawa for a special trip that is promised we will never forget. They made sure of that when the anime gives us a two-minute preview of what to look forward to in these final three episodes. Just be warned a lot of things mentioned really didn’t happen. It almost felt like one of those gag previews Gintama is notorious for.
Well Iori, Kouhei, and Aina are going to attempt at getting their divers license so that they can go even further down the ocean. It seemed like all three were doing pretty well when it came to the basics of diving underwater. However, it was quickly noticed by Nanaka that Iori was having trouble keeping water out of his goggles and that could result in immediate failure. So Iori practices all night (with help from Chisa and Aina). However, Iori ended up in some trouble when a patrolling policeman comes upon him in the pool. And Iori spent the rest of the night in the water because he was naked.
Because I’d be concerned if he wasn’t naked!
Well, the next morning, he caught a cold. Then dumbass thinks it’s a good idea to get rid of a cold by drinking vodka.
Tumblr media
Because I’d be concerned if he wasn’t drinking!
And as a result he ended up missing his chance for obtaining his diving license. Kouhei and Aina were able to get their licenses. So the big diving expedition of Okinawa is about to commence and Iori has to sit this one out. But he remains hopeful to one day dive with his friends in Okinawa. After all that, the group travels to another spot and get fucking hammered. You all see the theme to this series, right?
But the last few episodes gave us a few moments involving Kouhei and Aina. Kouhei ended up stumbling into this group on accident (much like Iori), but discovered how much fun he had (aside from getting drunk as a skunk night after night). As for Aina, she learned that despite the diving club being full of a bunch of drunken meat-heads, these people care about her (unlike the previous club she belonged to).
Tumblr media
So it was a memorable trip.
This was absolutely NOT what I expected when I picked up this anime. I notice Grand Blue being taken place in a cute ocean town and thought it would be just as cute as Tsuritama. But it turned out to be the anime equivelant of Animal House. I can easily tell you that my college years were NOTHING LIKE THIS.
Tumblr media
Despite going to school in a state where the drunk-driving rate is sky-high, I did not witness any strange anomalies like arriving on campus and seeing a bunch of drunk, naked lads sprawled across the courtyard.
Now then, I do feel like this series could have focused a little more on diving and oceanography. It felt like the majority of the series involved characters binge-drinking, meat-heads fighting with tennis club members, more binge-drinking, sad geeks never getting laid, studying for a German test where you only get 20%, and drinking more than Sterling Archer. Not so much on the ocean like I would have hoped. And even though Iori gets the short-end of the stick in almost every episode, I do feel bad that he couldn’t join the rest of the club under water in the finale. That felt a little disheartening, but that’s just me. Short answer, I like this anime! If you’re in for a good laugh and are not turned off by all the drinking and nudity, I say go for it.
For what it’s worth, it’s a silly adventure I can see myself rewatching one or two more times. And if you’re interested in watching, Amazon Prime has all 12 episodes available for streaming.
Okay, this was quite the trip! Let’s pick our next Amazon/Netflix/Crunchyroll exclusive anime!
Think Zootopia, but set in high school.
Tumblr media
Beastars!
Great choice as I even heard good things from celebrities who don’t normally watch anime.

My friend who live sent the reactions to Fresh is now watching Heartcatch. I have been waiting months for this and I bet you have too.
For episodes 31 through 34, I will be doing the direct, unedited copy-paste that I did when I posted the reactions to Setsuna’s arc. 
☾━━━━༺☾❀☽༻━━━━☽ ☾━━━━༺☾❀☽༻━━━━☽ ☾━━━━༺☾❀☽༻━━━━☽
EPISODE 31
Imma watch episode 31 now
Well, this is an exciting start!
WOOP!!!! 
Cure Blossom: "Your withered heart flower has been used! Return to your former self!" Desertrian: *confusion*
"Same thing, over and over again!" Is this lampshading or--
Welp, that's the end of that fight. New record for earliest time in an episode for a fight to end! Unless I'm forgetting some older episodes that also started with a fight and finished quickly. But I THINK that this one is a new record.
"A flower can be this beautiful?" 0_0
Ooooh, is this showing possibility for redemption???? don't answer that
Theme song time!
Fly on the tree 
Oh, hey Yuri!!
caught "Yuri-san" when overhearing (and not looking at of course) the title [context: when she started fresh, i advised her to close her eyes when the title card pops up because of spoiler titles being very common] 
So these flowers are called amaryllis. They really are nice aren't they
Ooh, echoing footsteps. And dang, won't even let the fairies so much as touch her now
Aw, Potpourri doesn't look too happy about the rejected hug
"We can't procrastinate until the last second like what happened to summer homework." Learned her lesson with that and hung onto it. Good for her. Wish I could say the same for myself, but... :-/
they have their heads hung with their faces cast in shadow
Oh! :-D :-D Well that's awesome!
"Let's have Momoka-san come as a special guest!" Are...are you guys sure about that? Welp, okay. Wait she's gonna ask Yuri too???? 
I mean...she's not wrong
This should be interesting
Wait, who's THIS
They have glowy glasses
"Mr. 2nd place"? 2nd place in what?
Saintani. Interesting how if you take out the "I"s and the first "N" you get Satan XD Oh dang that guys is a fast typer
Next test?
The shiny wobbly eyes from Yuri after Tsubomi says the theme is "A New Myself"
...Look at all the staaarrrs (*o*) (*o*) (*o*)
OH FRICK
HOLY FRICK HOLY FRICK
Talking to Dune again. Hmm.
"I've got them in my palms already." You liar.
"Maybe I should go on a journey?" Ooooh, a journey? THIS should be good
*both her teammates look at her* *Cobraja's face mask cleanly peels off*"What's wrong with you?" "Is it love? But you can't fall in love with me. I'm too pretty for you."
Oh hello Dark Precure. Haven't seen YOU in awhile...
Dark Bracelet?
"When you use this, the Desertrian will turn dark, bad, and violent immediately." What????????
JFKHNFIONGIJORGNWRJKNWRJGBERNJGKLRBNGJKISBNINJUKBGWRJLGHWRJOGBHJOGRWNBGOIWRBGIOFNHJRKLGNSFJKGBNSWOGIRUWBNEOUINGRWBRWGIOWRBGORUWBGOUJRWUGBNERJBGURWNJGNRWGJRWLBNJORWGHNRWIJGRWNG
SASORINA, NO!!!!1!
D~= D~= D~= D~= D~=
Wait, Yuri...LOST her Heart Flower???
Oh...
"But do you want your fairy to stay like this?" Stay like...what... Wait, is she talking about...
Yeah. I'm sure if she can start to heal again it'll come back.
*sings like Gumball and Darwin* Do do do do do!` Commercial break!
Well THAT was a mood whiplash
They're out in their pajamas? XD and Itsuki's fully dressed and bright-eyed without hairs sticking out or anything
Mm. Yeah. Maybe give her a bit of time.
XD fairies inching along the ground like caterpillars XD XD XD XD XD XD 
Saintani's exaggerated "NAAAANIIII?!?!?!?!" XD XD XD XD XD !!
"I'm losing my conviction..." Okay, the way he sounds just...sad, saying this, not even frustrated or anything. Hmm. And Sasorina's walking up.
Yuri?
!!!! 
Well frick she got him. And this time she has the Dark Bracelet...
Transformation time!
YEAH! WOOP! YEAAAH!
"A loser should just give up. Just accept that and go crazy." FRICK NO THEY SHOULDN'T! Y--wait, I'm realizing this could be like a parallel? To Yuri? Because Sasorina called her a loser reminding her of the fight she lost? And if Saintani shouldn't give up just because he keeps losing than Yuri shouldn't give up either and--
But, like, also the thing he keeps "losing" at is...studying? And as satisfying as it must be to come in first there, though second does mean he still came ahead of lots and lots of people, competing isn't really the point of studying, is it? the point is to learn and stuff. Right?
Yessss Blossom! Preach!
Oh no
No, no, NO--
NO !!!!!!
STOP STOP STOP
There's gotta be SOME way to stop this before it's too late--!!!!
REHIOGBHRWIOGWHRBGIOURWBGOIURW

"So annoying, the bonds of Precure! I'll defeat you next time!" she says as she hangs upside down in a tree
"Someone said this in my dream. 'What's important is climbing right back up when you're down, a strong heart.'" she's right you know. And you could take that advice yourself Yuri.
Wait, SPINACH?
Twerk-and-poop time
Chartreuse. Nice.

SERIOUSLY FLASH BACK RIGHT NOW
Wait was this a vision her grandma had of the future darkest moment in the climax before they save everything? 
Why we zooming in on her necklace
Theme song time!
Gotta wonder what Sabaaku's face looks like under that mask...
Coppe-sama is large and fluffy <3
Hmm. Yeah, keeping on fighting Desertrians under the effects of the Dark Bracelet could be challenging to say the very least. And the stakes have definitely been raised.
"And then we remembered that Cure Flower had some really awesome powers!" OOOOH like what!
Heartcatch Mirage? What is THAT
"It's a mysterious item that gives the Precure unlimited power." 
Unlimited power...mm. In my experience with media that sort of things doesn't come without some kind of price...
Oh wow I was hoping we'd get a glimpse of what she looked like as Cure Flower
Dune was a menacing-looking dark glowing giant with long flowing hair a claw fingers and stuff? The small glimpses of him we've seen had him looking like a teenager. Maybe this is him at full power and he's currently not at full power?
Oh wOw
Precure Palace?
I'm a little uneasy about this idea, but the Desert Messengers ARE getting stronger and there don't seem to be any other options.
A terrible test? Ohhh THIS should be good... OOOOH ENCHANTED TREE DOOR
Yes, go with them Yuri!
(*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*)(*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The palace of Dune, the King of the Desert Messengers, draws near." What ??
(*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*) (*O*)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The place is really beautiful
Welp, transformation time I guess
I remember it took me awhile at first to stop expecting them to say "freshly picked" before their cure names
Treasure hunt
"It's too high up!" Y'all can give yourself glowy capes that make you fly, remember? If you fall you can just do that... except for Yuri I mean... *awkward pause* wELP imma just keep watching
Wha-- Ohhh it's the Heart Tree!
"Just like that time." Huh?
"The Heart Tree comes to watch over the test to receive the Heartcatch Mirage." Ohhh. Cool! I wondered why it was here.
Flashback!...Oh... Oh wow...The inside of the palace is pretty too 
HDJSHFJRHGEJORJUGH That's...not really her, is it
Defeat her? 
*sings like Gumball and Darwin* Do do do do do! Commercial break! 
You've got this, guys!
So there WERE generations of precure before Cure Flower (I forget if we'd learned this for certain already or not, only that there were none between Cure Flower and Cure Moonlight) 
"I do not wish to fight you too, Tsubomi, even if this is only a test." </3 <3
Him? Who's--? *jaw drops at the sight of the rose petals* =~O =~O =~O =~O =~O =~O !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harsh way of saying it...but I mean, she's not wrong.
And, I have wondered why he appears like this. Why he has the rose-petal powers and everything. 
Yeah, why IS he here in the Precure palace... And they seriously call him "mysterious hot guy" or "hot guy"
You can do this, guys!!!!
*pours more goldfish crackers* YES GO GO YOU CAN DO IT
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES 
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
YES YES YES YEAH 
WOOP!!!!!!!!!!!! 
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Coppe-sama! I knew they were magical doppelgangers of some kind 
wait WHAT IT WAS COPPE-SAMA THE WHOLE TIME NDJSLFHDSJFHJUBURHJURHGJUHJUHRUJHHJKDLSHFIOW 
"Another lost love"? Somecreature who looked exactly like your grandpa?
=~D
*sings* You gOtta take the UpgrAyAyAyAyADE! Gotta take the UpgrAyAyAyADE--
(*O*)(*O*) (*O*) (*O*) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I saw something like this in the eyecatch...
Yeah! She could! (and she will if the opening and the eyecatch are anything to go off of)
*screams into pillow* 
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
*collapses backward grinning ear to ear and laughing*
☞EPISODE 33☽
Cool start
Flashback!
"I...I didn't do much to help you." I mean, you're part of the reason they actually ended up going to do this...
"You girls overcame the test with your strong bonds of friendship." Mm. Yeah. True. They did that together themselves without her help.
"So very different from I, who fought alone."
Are you sure it's impossible? I mean, it's okay if you're not READY yet either way but like, IS it?
"Use it and see my Heart Flower!" Ohhhh, right, that
Oh...
Cologne? THAT'S her fairy's name? 
Wait, was that Cologne talking just now??????
Theme song time!
How did her dad know about the Heart Tree though...
Upperclassman? They have school? I mean, I probably shouldn't be surprised... And Cologne's voice did sound older and less cutesy, if that was Cologne earlier
Where WAS Cologne then...also how did Cure Moonlight know Shypre and Coffret
=~O
NO NO DON'T TELL ME HE--???
D~= D~= D~= D~= D~= D~= D~=
*sobs*
*sobs rainbows when Erika hugs Yuri and they all tell her they heard about Cologne and all* ToT ToT ToT ToT ToT ToT <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
"We want to bring back your Heart Flower! One more time!" "We want to be the source of your power!" *crying rainbows all over the place*
Ooh, they designed clothes for Yuri? Let's see 'em! Ooooh! :-D
Oh hey Coppe-sama
GLOWY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They all drop down and Potpourri's the only one who doesn't know when to stop and just hits the ground XD
What happened?
Oh hey there's Dark Precure
IT'S GLOWINGGGG
*sings like Gumball and Darwin* Do do do do do! Commercial break! 
Among the cacti
Cologne!!!
So they call the container of Heart Seeds the Heart Pot. For some reason I can't help but think of... Chamber pots
"Tell Cologne your feelings"? 
That sound... 
Aaaand yyep it's Dark Precure
It stopped glowing?
Transformation time!
"Where is Tsukkikage Yuri?" Ho ho ho, wouldn't YOU like to know
"Too bad! She's not here anymore!"
Cologne! :-D 
He's a ghost
"Thanks to Cure Blossom and Cure Marine gathering the Heart Seeds, I can stay like this"
It wasn't your fault, Yuri ;^; </3 <3 <3
"You've been working too hard by yourself"
OHHHHHHH ='-O So there was a point when Cure Moonlight WAS offered the option of having teammates but she didn't think she needed them... And she was so, so wrong
ToT ToT ToT ToT ToT <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 </3 <3 <3
"You didn't want to hurt anyone. You only wanted to take the pain yourself." 
=~O =~O =~O !!! ToT ToT ToT ToT </3 <3 </3 <3 </3 <3
"Accept yourself, Moonlight. Accept your kindness and our sympathies towards your partners." *sobbing rainbows all over the place*
So she CAN be a precure again now?? ='~D ='~D ='~D Do iiiiiiiiit
OH FRICK 
Totally forgot in the midst of that feelsfest
YEEESSS GO GIRLS DO IT FOR YURI

"The Dark Bracelet isn't just for powering up Desertrians. They also give us power!" Yyyeah, I guessed that after seeing Cobraja use it like that without having a Desertrian in this fight
Sasorina used mega-braid of power! Kumojacky used insta-sword! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
I love the clashing good guy bad guy power explosions!!!
"A beautiful one like you, Sunshine, is most fit to be my partner." *le disgust*
CRITICAL HIT
D~= !!!!!!!
MORE critical hits!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SILVER FORTE WAVE VS DARK FORTE WAVE YES YES YES YES
"Dark Precure! Why do you hate me so?!" I was kinda wondering about that too. She does seem to have some serious vendetta against Cure Moonlight specifically.
"You are...You are me, that's why!" ...What????????????????????
"As long as you remain the moon's light, I remain the moon's darkness!" "When darkness swallows the light, the moon becomes one!" That answers and raises questions at the same time
You've got this, Moonlight! Get up!
Ooooh, is that gonna be a catchphrase??
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO GO GO GO GO YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS TOTALLY EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
what? What's THIS?...Dark Precure? There was this purpley glow going up around her and then she fell over and fizzled lightning? ...Is that just what it's like when she's beaten?
Oh hey Sabaaku
"You're Dark Precure's..." Dark Precure's what? Dad? Creator? Pet mongoose?
Cure Blossom!!
*shakes head in disapproval at Sasorina* I was so enjoying the possibility of a heel-face-turn imminent for you. But, welp...
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOWOOWOOWOO

BECAUSE I’M NOT POPULAR, I’LL READ WATAMOTE: CHAPTER #166
Baseball season is in the air! Thankfully, you don’t need to be a fan of the sport to like this chapter. So long as you enjoy the stupid antics of a bunch of socially awkward teenage girls, there’ll be plenty of fun to be had. And of course, it wouldn’t be Watamote if they didn’t include a bunch of expertly intricated plot threads and natural character development as well. With all of Nico Tanigawa’s passions coming together once again, I can say that this chapter is definitely in top form.
So without further ado, let’s play ball!
Chapter 166: Because I’m Not Popular, I’ll Go Cheer
Tumblr media
Tomoko getting flabbergasted just by Katou existing never gets old.
Tumblr media
You know, I always had the impression that Tomoko wording things in the most perverted way was just a gut reaction due to her mind being perpetually in the gutter. But now, I feel like her answer here is just too on the nose to be anything but deliberate. IdiotPerv!Tomoko is hilarious, but TrollPerv!Tomoko is too powerful. 
Tumblr media
Consequently, Tomoko can’t say shit without it biting her in the ass.
Tumblr media
Okada with the save. Sure, she probably didn’t want to look like a slacker from Katou either, but still. If Katou’s the mom friend, then Pineapple-chan’s the exasperated, but supportive onee-san friend.
Tumblr media
I just realized that this is a standard routine with these two: Yuri will say something tactless and Mako will call her name out in admonishment. If this has been going on since they first met, then Mako has boundless patience and/or is the absolute best friend that no person should ever take for granted. Not that 
Yuri does...mostly.
Tumblr media
Y'all can tell that baseball fan Ikko had a blast drawing the backgrounds in this chapter.
Tumblr media
Speaking of which, I’m 212% certain that Komiyama’s role in this chapter is to be the mouthpiece for Nico Tanigawa’s baseball fanatism. Given that it’s technically in-character (for who is basically their self-insert), and baseball chapters can only feasibly happen every hundred chapters or so, I’m fine with the mangakas taking these little indulgences.
Tumblr media
Hey, let the girl live a little! Komi’s gotta cram ten chapters worth of dialogue she won’t get into one.
Tumblr media
Pardon me, Tomoko, but you seem to have left your self-awareness by the entrance to the stadium.
Tumblr media
Naturally, Tomoko hates that Komiyama isn’t making a fool of herself in front of her mom-crush. It’s easy to forget that so long as you don’t set off her berserk buttons, Komiyama is actually quite...normal. Like, being amicable with others and casually humble-bragging is her default state. 
Tumblr media
Nico Tanigawa’s artistic habit of putting nicknames under faces always amuses me.
Tumblr media
There’s being upset, and then there’s being petty. We all know that Tomoko is aware that Itou is in the band, and any other day, she wouldn’t hold that against the girl. But because she’s salty over Komiyama acting cool, her sensibilities revert back to Year-1 Tomoko logic. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, if I were a more crass person, I could make the assumption that the majority of those underclassmen were a combination of girls admiring Fuuka’s “cool beauty” status and boys wanting to check out an attractive senior girl in a cheerleading outfit, discrepancies notwithstanding. 
But I won’t.  
Tumblr media
Oh yeah, Miho. Based on the above cheers, she seems like your average popular girl, but if you recall, she got a kick out of Katou’s “offers” to Tomoko. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a bit of a mean streak in her.
Btw...armpits? Okay, then...
Tumblr media
You’d think that by now, Tomoko would learn some subtlety before pulling shit like this.     
Tumblr media
Normally, I’d call Tomoko out for shenanigans since I thought she was mostly over the whole “slut-shaming” thing. But given how she wasn’t thinking this when the girls in her class wore cheerleading outfits during last year’s sports festival (that we know of), I can only assume that this is more of Tomoko’s jealousy due to Fuuka’s friendship with Katou.
Either that, or Tomoko just doesn’t want to admit she finds her hot.
Tumblr media
I think we’re all in agreement that Ucchi’s gonna lose massive points for this.
On the other hand, the image of Emoji Girl screaming about Tomoko’s crimes through a megaphone is peak absurdity, and I’ve been laughing my ass off for twelve minutes. 
Tumblr media
In all seriousness, I’m kind of glad that Tomoko is finally getting her way overdue karma for all her skirt-peeping. Sure, it’s all been played for comedy, but that doesn’t change the fact that its sexual harassment, or the fact that she’s more than likely gotten away with it for being female.
It’s all fun and games until your stalker calls you out on it.
Tumblr media
LIES.
Tumblr media
You know...maybe it is Tomoko’s fetish. She’s done it so frequently, and it’s always been portrayed as just another one of Tomoko’s “quirks”. But given the context of all those occurrences, having a skirt-peeping fetish actually sounds very plausible. Thank you, Yuri, for that insight. 
Looking at Katou’s expression, it might be her fetish, too...
Tumblr media
Seeing Tomoko get more and more mortified as everyone keeps dogpiling on her shame makes for quite the cathartic reading. 
Add on to the fact that Komiyama, the biggest perv of all, is the most dignified at this moment just makes this whole chapter an absolute treat.
Tumblr media
Considering that Tomoko basically just got outed as a pervert in the middle of a crowd of spectators, she’s taking this quite well. First-year Tomoko could’ve had a legit panic attack if that had happened, but now, she actually has enough nerve to retaliate. Sure, Tomoko had some decent ammo with the Tanabata wish, so she likely had more guts than she would’ve been, but it’s still impressive nonetheless.
Tumblr media
Sasaki Fuuka–putting a new spin on the term “victim-blaming”. 
Tumblr media
Komiyama can be the reasonable one while Tomoko is the crazy pervert, or Tomoko can be the reasonable one while Komiyama is the crazy pervert.
But the universe just can’t have both be reasonable or perverted at the same time. 
Tumblr media
As someone who knows jacksh*t about sports, I have to admit that this is an interesting fun fact if it can be applied to the popularity of real-life sports teams and cheer squads.
Tumblr media
I could totally see this becoming a meme in the Watamote fandom. Anyone?
Tumblr media
These moments of zero dialogue, sometimes a whole page’s worth, excel at immersing the reader into the story. Suddenly, you’re not just reading about characters in a story. You’re now experiencing first hand what’s like to be at a baseball game, with a few familiar faces from the band and cheer teams making it feel a lot more lively. 
Tumblr media
If it weren’t for all the wonderful peeps on Reddit, I never would’ve caught that this is the same baseball manager we’re seen periodically since the beginning of the series. You know, the one Tomoko did that fake dub for?
Perhaps I’ll call her...Beta!Nemo. 
Tumblr media
A PSA to all you non-sports fans: You can now pretend to be interested in your favorite high-school teams just by tuning into your local service provider.
Go, Harajuku Makuhari!
Tumblr media
You know, I think I mentioned before that I wasn’t sure what Komiyama’s career prospects were.
Now I’ve got a clue.
Tumblr media
Yo, I could feel that pain from my screen.
Tumblr media
For a second, I thought this was Reina, given we can’t see her eyes and that she’s manspreading (sounds like something she would do). But then I pictured her actually signing up for cheerleading and...yeah, no. 
Tumblr media
Not to sound all pretentious if you already know, but cheerleading really is one of the most difficult, dangerous, and underappreciated sports there is. In addition to all the physical risks, you have to maintain an endlessly cheery disposition, even when it’s hard. That’s why I call it the “customer service job” of the sports industry.
Tumblr media
The go-to method to keep your in-story sports team at peak realism: 
Unwavering mediocrity. 
Tumblr media
As opposed to them hurrying up and win? Quite the pessimist you are, Tomoko...
Tumblr media
not.
As startling as it is to hear these words come out of Tomoko’s mouth, it’s not entirely unfounded. For all her negative worldviews, crude behavior, and general apathy, the one thing that has always been constant about Tomoko is that she knows things can be better and she wants things to be better. She never got the chance to really strive for it back then when she had nothing to latch onto. But now that she’s got friends, Tomoko realizes that she can feasibly make some of those ideals a reality.  
Tumblr media
Their unbridled admiration is sweeter than diabetes.
Tumblr media
Insert long-winded discussion of a related social phenomenon that probably exists, but the author is too lazy to research here. 
Tumblr media
She...didn’t deny it. 
Character development...I guess?
Tumblr media
I was wondering where Tomoko would draw the line on her slut-shaming towards Fuuka. Granted, it’s probably easier to feel empathy when you can see that shit happening from other people rather than yourself. 
But seriously, Katou? Pimping out your friend? You terrify me more and more with each passing chapter. 
Tumblr media
See what I’ve been getting at? Tomoko knows that realistically speaking, her summer is probably not going to be anything extraordinary. Inconveniences will occur, moments of boredom will arise, and missed opportunities will transpire. But as I’ve reiterated time and again, even those “plain” experiences can become delightful memories when shared with those you care about.
That’s going to be a crucial feeling from this point on, it looks like. ‘Cause based on Yuri’s expression, she may have the most difficulty resonating with that kind of emotion. Let's see just how Yuri handles an expanding social circle–Tomoko included–that’s a little more bright-eyed than she is. 
We’re in the seventh inning stretch of Tomoko’s third year, and time will only tell if it ends in a victory.

Flufftober Day 7- Introduction
“An Idols’ Love is the Best” - Sayaka x Leon -- “What if they don’t like me, babe?” 
“They’re idols, they’re programmed not to have negative emotions.” … “Just kidding, hehe.”
“Babe, I’m serious! What if they think I’m just some playboy?”
“It’ll be fine. Come on, practice is just about to start!” 
With that, Sayaka dragged her redhead boyfriend into the dance room, where her idol groupmates waited. They were all there, which was perfect for Sayaka’s plan. 
She was going to introduce her significant other to the group. 
When she entered with the male, all the girls turned to look at her- then at him- then back at her. She waved and smiled cutely, trying to ease the tension that was already forming. Leon nudged her, signalling for her to start talking. She took the hint and moved more to side of him. 
“Hi everyone! I brought my new boyfriend today- that’s okay, right?” As she spoke, Sayaka took hold of Leon’s hand. No one answered her question. “Well, I hope you’re all okay with it. Anyways, I think I’d better introduce you all to him. Everyone, this is Leon Kuwata, star of the baseball team and the star of my heart.” She gestured to the male, who blushed at both the cute title and the attention suddenly put on him.
“Hey.” Leon said unnaturally deep. “Uh, like she said, I’m Leon. I’m not really much of a baseball guy though. I’m much more into music these days.” He tried to sound cool, but none of the idols were impressed. Tough crowd, he thought.
“Sayaka, you didn’t tell me you managed to find a guy!” One of the idols teased. The girl next to her elbowed her in the side. 
“Don’t say that, Satomi!” She hissed. 
“What, it’s true, isn’t it?” 
Sayaka pretended not to hear that. “Yes, he’s perfect for me. Do you think he could watch us practice?” 
Another girl, who had been silent since Leon’s arrival, scoffed. “I guess he can, but he better not look up our skirts!” She warned, glaring directly into Leon’s eyes.  As she said that, the other idols adjusted their skirts, now conscious about how short they were. 
“Don’t worry, he only has eyes for me.” Sayaka said. “You’d better watch out though, Ayumi, or he might take a picture of your panties and show the whole school.” 
The previously confident girl became terrified, her face turning white at the thought. She was back  to normal a second later, wearing a smirk. “Whatever, it’s not like anyone’d know they were mine.” 
Sayaka giggled, glad people were taking to her boyfriend nicely -relatively nicely, at least. “Anyways, why don’t we start going over the choreography for Unbalanced Baby?” 
All the girls consented, setting down their water bottles and such before getting into position for the song. Leon unfolded a chair and sat down the watch the practice. He watched as Sayaka lead the practice, teaching the girls moves with words he didn’t understand. It was like they all had some weird secret code. Their group was much different than his baseball team. 
——
“-Spin into your ending pose! Hold, hold- there we go!” Sayaka squealed as the other girls panted in exhaustion. This was the twelfth time they ran the song, and they had only learned it today. While the rest of the idols were more tired than ever, Sayaka had barely broken a sweat. 
“Can’t we please..just be done?” Satomi whined in between breaths. “It’s gonna.. be dark out soon..and I’ve gotta..walk home..” 
“Alright, alright. C’mon, group huddle!” They all formed a small circle. “You all did great today! Definitely improving our sharpness. At this rate, we’re gonna have the song polished for next rehearsal!” 
“You mean, we’re gonna hafta do this again?” One of the girls asked, panicked. 
“Hey, it wasn’t even that bad! Are you weak all of a sudden, Yuri?” Ayumi teased. 
“No! But I think Iruka is gonna be sick if we go any longer..” Yuri pointed to the girl next to Sayaka, who looked like she was about to puke. Sayaka took that as a signal to end the discussion. 
“Well we’ll just have to work harder to boost our stamina next time. C’mon ladies, let’s do this! I’ll start: one!”
“Two!”
“Three!”
“Four.”
“Five!”
“Yeah!!” They all cheered, disbanding shortly afterwards. Once everyone else was gone, Sayaka stood in front of Leon. 
“I think everyone likes you, Leon. What d’you think about our group?” Sayaka asked, pulling her hair out of the ponytail she fastened for practice. 
Leon blushed. “I mean, you guys are super good at dancing..” 
“Not like that, silly! Did you like the girls? Ayumi can be a bit much sometimes but she means well.” 
“Yeah, I can’t believe she thought I would look up their skirts!” Leon exclaimed, causing Sayaka to giggle. “What?” He asked.
She smiled. “I’m glad you had fun. Hey, can we get some dinner out? I’m starving.” 
“Sure, babe. Whatever you want.” He chuckled as he casually leaned in for a kiss. It was short-lived though, as Sayaka only granted him a quick peck before bolting out of the practice room. 
 Sayaka laughed as she ran all the way out of the school. Leon followed, surprised he couldn’t catch up to her. He wondered how she could still have so much energy after the rigorous practice she led. 
That’s just the typical practice for the Ultimate Idol, though. Leon would learn that after watching more practices. If he was let back in, at least.

“HEEEEEY Someone finally decided to leave his house and join us!! You done snogging Ryoma for a while?? We ready to do this radio show????”
Tumblr media
Yoshi just shook his head.  “Mugen you gotta have more class than that, man...”
Tumblr media
“Seriously... when you started dating Yuri no one gave you shit for it...” Arima smirked, raising an eyebrow.
Tumblr media
“G-geh... C-come on guys... you’re supposed to tease him with me... it’s... it’s...” he sighed finally, hanging his head. “You guys are...no fun at all...”
Souji smiled a little and then laughed.  He had missed them.  It wasn’t wrong, Souji had been lost in his little world with Ryoma... with Umetaro... and so it’s easy to tease him.  It wasn’t Mugen’s fault he was as easy to tease as Souji was.
Tumblr media
“Mugen, come on, idiot... let’s go over that one song before we go live...”  He put an arm over his shoulder, winking at the others.
Tumblr media
“We’re right behind you....”
Tumblr media
“....I’m gonna tune and I’ll be right there.”

NOW PLAYING ►MGA5 FIRST EPISODE REACTION [ LIVE STREAM ]
Streamed live on 29th JUN 2019
Uploaded on @aboutmini  
“Here we go! MGA season 5 has arrived my lovelies, I decided to stream me watching it so we can all watch it together. I love to see your comments throughout the first episode too! I know a lot of my friends applied for the show so I can’t wait to see what they did for their audition!” Minhee sent up the stream with a small video showing the episode she was watching on the computer screen. It was so exciting she really couldn’t wait to see what is going to happen on the first episode plus it was the first time she ever has done something like this for her channel too. The flashes of hopefuls she could recognize a few familiar faces which made her smile, “Hwaiting everyone...it must be so nerve whacking audition for shows like this, it shows how brave all these potential winners are...heh...oh! look it’s big five ceos!” she decided to help herself some nice frozen yogurt while she watches the ceo talk amongst themselves in the beginning not really commenting expect how nice her frozen yogurt is. 
“Seriously?! 100 contestants?! That’s amazing! I do feel kind of feel bad for the ceos having to sit through so many auditions...you better hope your audition stands out cause it could be easily forgotten among the 100 audition tapes.” The female watches the show intently, “Yo? Isn’t that very informal? Is Lee Hohyeon American maybe?  He got a lot of confidence, I give him that.” The next contestant appears quickly after that making her giggle as the animal impressions, “I like Kim Seungmin! Very cute! Hyunbin sunbae don’t be so mean~! Yo-yo isn’t easy to do, I wish I could be able to do something like that maybe contact him for lessons~” she continues on watching the show seeing the clip of their main performance, “Out of the two boys I think I prefer Seungmin cause he suits more my tastes but they are both very talented~ I like Hohyeon flow he got potential but I don’t know much about rapping so I can elaborate on that matter. Seungmin got lovely voice maybe does need some vocal training to get it nice and tight...but I’m rooting for you Seungmin!” she cheered happily as she continues on with the rest of the episode. 
Eyes widen in surprise by the fierce dancing of Chaeryoung on the screen, “Wow...she actually scared me. I was really surprised but yeah I like her passion! You go girl~” she chuckled as see to be an agreement with Jiyoung and the ceos. Part of her is hoping maybe Jiyoung will keep on her eye and steal her away to Sphere. They do always need some more dancers into the fold but up next was Choi Yoona, she really did look like a singer-songwriter but clearly, she surprised everyone as starts to rap. “Huh, I bet Gray would like her, they would work well together. There is so many talented girls...they are really bringing it this year...oh my goodness! I would love to work with her too, girls gotta support other girls!” she really was impressed by the lyrics of the song too. “Ah, how am I suppose to pick my favorite this season?!” she whined as continue on with the show smiling at the next one called Jeon Heejin. It was quite chill compare to the other audition, she had a really soothing tone. “She’s very pretty just like her voice, not bad~” Minhee couldn’t help but agree with Katie Lee, “She’s right, the girls are doing amazing!” The female clapped together as she watches the short clips of Hwang Yeji, Jo Yuri and Zhou Jiqeong. “Dance battle between Chaeryoung and Yeji please cause that would be amazing to watch, just saying...These girls...I like Yuri..I wish I could have seen more of the performance..but out of the three girls in the clip...Zhou Jiqeong I think I am in love~ so elegant, I think she is my favorite girl so far~” she put her hand on her hand as she does love ballet even though she never really dance it herself but she loves watching it. 
The show continues on showing off the boys with a lovely emotional song from Kim Hyojin, she smiled and nodded being impressed by it to being awe to being surprised by the flip of Park Woojin. “Wow! That’s so cool! Again again...” she blinks for a second when sees a familiar face on the screen, “Changbin! I know him, he is doing great!! Hwaiting Changbin~! I hope he does well on the show~ this is amazing...who knows who else will show up~”  The little thing between Katie Lee and Hyun Bin made her laugh as it seems Katie was all about the girls this season. Either way, she was proud of Changbin changing up the lyrics what not, it was impressive. “Boys, boys, boys! So many lovely boys!” she cheered as she watches the clips of chwe hansol,  takada kenta and yoon jeonghan. Minhee looks completely puzzled by their performances but she liked it. Hansol was rapper which is pretty cool, she couldn’t keep her eyes off Kenta she was memorized by the performance then finally Jeonghan performance was good. The girl nose creased up in disgust with the whole lemon fisaco. Finally, a cute girl speaking Japanese, how cute, “Awe Kokoro she looks so cute! I wonder if she is friends with Sakura~ but Tiger JK got a point though...a special skill shouldn’t be like instrument or language based but something to keep people intrigued” she said it quite confident since it was variety month after all and they told us they weren't allowed to do any of those things for their special skill. 
It looks like it was the variety time of the show with the video showing off different skills, it was quite amusing honestly but in truth, she wasn’t really impressed with the whole tarot cards from Yewon but she was cute. Minhee couldn’t help but laugh at the others though from the dancing fingers it was adorable so points to Jeongin. The whole kicking thing not going through on what he said he was gonna do, Seunghun didn’t impress her either but instead, “omo is he okay?!” she wondering where her friends were on the show but then Hwayoung appeared playing the piano. “Ahh! Hwayoung look at her go! She’s one of my friends, she is good right?” along with others playing the piano and the guitar plus Shin Yuna with electric. There was a lot of processes but that whole section blurred into one for Minhee sadly expect for Hwayoung standing out since she was her friend but that was it really then Lee Sunwoong appeared stealing the hearts of many viewers she assumed, “Ah, this kid is precious~ I like him. Another one I’ll keep my eye out for~” she nodded her firmly then raise her brows since the audition part of the show was finished. “Wow, that was a lot to take in, I wonder how long it took for the editors to edit this...” 
The female eyebrows frowned as clearly there was a secret thing about to happen by the way they were talking. Minhee leaned forward seeming very intrigued by the whole thing. “Wow, only 50 out of the 100?! That’s harsh..I think everyone gonna need it for sure~” she bites her lip feeling nervous for the contestants. “Oh! Sakura!! There she is, looks how cute she looks...oh my that Yuri character is interesting. She reminds me of Jei in some ways~” she chuckled softly as continue to watch the show. Minhee taking in all the new faces coming into the building, “Moonbok! He’s returned on the show, he will be the black horse I reckon..bless him..there is a lot of familiar faces..” once she said that she heard the voice over, Minhee cluck her tongue in a disapproving manner, “Aish who does that girl think she is? You tell her Nakyung~!” she continues onwards noticing one of the truly memorable characters of last season “Kang Daniel...ah I heard so much about it last time, he seems to popular one among my friends. I wonder what he will bring the table this time~” she noted looking quite impressed. “Empty Engima...I heard my brother mentioned something about that once but I wasn’t listening...turns out I should have clearly~ This feels like it gonna be good season~”
Ha Sungwoon bluntness made her laugh saying on the reason why he was big, she does love it when people come back and try again once more. “I like him just say it how it is~” she chuckled softly then it moves on to see Bae Joohyun return, “OH! I hope she wins it this year, it would be her third time right? Third time lucky, I say~” it looks like Minhee is quite invested to the people this season compared to the last one. The moment she spots Mason appearing on the television, Minhee burst out in laughter “Wow, Mason you got balls to come on this show. Ah, my brother will be proud of you. The first ex-idol on MGAs I can see that headline coming, he looks so relax and carefree too. What even~” she shook her head in complete utter disbelief she is still a little sad about him leaving sphere in general but he looks happy so that’s a good thing overall. 
It was time for judges to come to play, she couldn’t help but giggle at their reactions especially two of them were her friends, Myungsoo & Joohyuk. “Oh come on boys, close your mouths or flies will go into it~” she chuckled softly as she listens to the girl had to say, “Can I say? She’s really pretty, great visuals honestly. Modeling will do her some good, I reckon.” Minhee couldn’t help but compliment  Chong Tingyan appearance since she was stunning. “Ah, it’s tarot card girl! Awwe, she is very precious~” she smiled listen to the Hyun Bin fan club talk amongst themselves. “I don’t really see the appeal to CEO Hyun Bin but if that their cup of tea. I am not one to judge them~” she chuckled lightly as she keeps watching the episode. It finally goes to the part where she gets to really see what the contestants are made of, she clasp her hands together with a smirk, “It’s showtime~ I wonder who else will impress me~” 
“Oh, Yuri is back.I can’t wait to see what is going to do...Wow she is going for it huh? Yes Yuri Yuri Yuri!” she chanted happily as she enjoys the performance before seeing Ryujin appeared on the stage. “Ah! It’s a dancer girl, she is an amazing dancer I seen in person so...let see what she is made of...heh..Oh damn..she is going for it! Yes Im loving this!!” she felt so pumped from that audition clapping along with the song. Time for the boys starting Lee Jaeyoon she was intrigued by his choice of the song couldn’t help but be a little bit confused but she dig it, sort of. Onto the next one, it was Kim Woojin. “Yes!! Nice song choice Woojin!” the girl happily sang along to the song since she loves Royal Pirates especially this song. “I keep drawing line~” she happily jammed away putting in the good mood for the next one. Myou Mina was up next giving her blessing cover of cry cry from t-ara, “Ah nice choice Mina, not bad at all~” she judged the performance a lot more since it was ballad song. Minhee serious expression quickly brightens spotting her Tzuyu who she used to babysit, “I use to babysit this lovely lady...oh I hope she does well...oooh this song...not sure if she shouldn’t pick this baby girl~” she bite her lip watching the performance holding her breath as felt so nervous for her dear friend. Jung Eunji turns it seems Mason wasn’t the only ex-idol on the show, she was curious wanting to know about what the group she was originally in so she could do some background research. “Wow, she radiates a lot of confidence so it works in a favor..this is good! I like it~” she gave her nod of approval before it moves onto the next set of contestants. It seems it is the return of the boys once again.
“Huang Guanheng~ That’s fun name to pronounce...Ok..he here goes...oh wow I never heard this song before..I like it...cause don’t know it...It is like an original song to me. Cool. Not bad Huang, good playing on the electric guitar.” Minhee bop along to the performance like many before then cheers happily “Seokjin!! Ah, I’m glad he is on the show..also expect a collab coming soon with this face right there! For now, let’s see what he brings to the table~” she leans in curiously wondering what he had in store for us to watch. “Wow, he went for it. Brave move Jin! This isn’t my usual cup of tea but I can appreciate it~” cause she is way far from hip-hop style. “Tarot girl has returned to the stage, I’m curious about what she going to do, she looks like a singer to me. Very cute singer so who knows~” she leans back to listen to the performance, minhee cringe a  little, “oh sweetie ~ this is not good~ oh boy...at least your dancing is good..but other things is not good but she got potential, she can get better if she work on it~ if you are watching this kim yewon let me teach you a few things ok?” she took a deep breath and went onto the next one.  “Oh! I saw her early at least she won’t be terrible...Oh Mama~ Yes, she looks so happy. Okay...not bad...cherish me chaeryoung nice~” the female hands starts to dance along with this infectious song then claps once it was over. “Right...who’s next...oh my she is very tall..is she part of the giants race?” she joked lightly with a small giggle but she certainly grabbed everyone attention being the tallest female but she wanted to know what she could do. “Wow, she is not only tall but she is talented...” she remarked as she watching the performance as loves the mashup being used too, there was a lot of dancers this year which is cool too then it was time for Minhee to blow away by the lovely ballad from Yoon Jeonghan she looks like she completely in awe with that boy's voice. Minhee didn’t say anything just nodded with an appeased look written over her face.  The first thing Minhee did when Kang Yeosang came onto the stage said that he is singing a song which is friend wrote, she couldn’t help but awe for him and hope he did well. “Nice husky voice....it needs some work for..but it is nice tone...the rapping is amazing though. Yeosang should keep to rapping more, I like his rapping. Come collab with me Yeosang! Rappers are always needed, heh.” Minhee nods her head to the beat as love the lyrics of the song as well so whatever wrote this, kudos to them. “oh? The girl wiping the tear? Did she write the song? Wow, that’s amazing~” she really was enjoying this episode so far. 
“Song Yuqi! You are a bright person! You made me smile already~” she loves people who always so cheerful like Yuqi so she was excited to see what she had to offer too. Minhee couldn’t help but smile as this song really put the mood up as it was such a cheeky song. Once again the trainee was dancing in her chair while laughing happily before being surprised by the next contestant with these cute tricks, “This girl is cute! I feel like I will get confused with these two Yewon girls in the show...I wonder if I wouldn’t be the only one. I like it so even made the CEO smile, it is precious!” she stated happily as she carried on to see what will happen next. Watanabe Haruto performance completely baffled the yell out of Minhee she generally looked confused and concerned for the person on the show, she wasn’t even sure what to say.  The show went on Minhee always look so proud when she spots one of her friends on the show about to perform especially when Yena appeared on the screen she is always so entertaining she is truly is the life of the party. She had a feeling that she might be a fan favorite among the netizens which is completely understandable, she is too lovable not to love. There were so many talented performances she couldn’t help but be impressed by them all even though she did always cheer a little louder when Sakura & Moonbok did their performance. It felt endless by the number of contestants going on the show doing their best to impressed, “Go Hwayoung! Go Jinkyung! Go Hoseok!” she forever chanted at the friends of her while being intrigued or in awe with the rest of the performances. There were a few faces who she ends up becoming fans of by the end of all it but she truly couldn’t figure out of these 100 contestants..who would be the lucky 50? “Ah, there are so many wonderful contestants...how can they pick just 50?!” it was nail-biting as waited to see whether her friends made it through or not. As Tiger JK revealed this year contestants, Minhee expression forever changed to the reaction of the names. 
“Oh no, so many of my friends didn’t make it...I’m sorry sweeties...maybe next time ok? Never give up!! But now, I want to let you know on who’s my favorites from people who I know & cherish to the ones who I generally like from what I have seen from the show. It will be posted on my instagram later on today but for now..I think I need some good rest after this. So, good night my beautiful humans! I’ll see you next time!! If she wants to see another stream like this, let me know ok? #Bekind!” she did her usual signing off greeting and head off to bed since she had training in the morning thankfully it was weekend so she did not have an early start.

back from Finland and my nightmare flight situation got really fucking funny (and awful) at the end so I’m gonna tell you the whole goddamn thing. cut to save you from Airline Stories.
I mentioned in a previous post that I had to sprint through Heathrow to get to a flight, and it wasn’t my fault. that turned out to be just the beginning but here’s what happened.
airline randomly decided to change my flight to an earlier time
I found out about this from a 3 am text that I read at 8 am on my way to work
cool I have to leave work much earlier
I do that. it was about to rain in New York so it was a good goddamn thing. no subway delays at all.
I sit at the gate for a bit. an hour before boarding, there are still zero airline employees to be found
what the fuck.
I google my flight number. it is not at the gate I’m sitting at.
great.
I walk over to the new gate, the lady there explains “it got changed.”
fine. I’m still on time.
….
the flight is not.
the rain started while I was in the airport and New York is gridlocked, and they barely had enough flight attendants to take off
I check my flight information. I have a connection in Heathrow that’s an hour after my flight and my flight is delayed…you guessed it. an hour.
I’m definitely gonna miss my connecting flight
I accept this (I am on a lot of anxiety medication) to deal with when I get there (thank you, medication!) and go to sleep (so. much. medication.)
arrive in Heathrow
announcement on the plane says that the connecting flight to Helsinki is also delayed, and to see them up front if you are getting on that flight
so I talk to them
“they’re leaving at 8:20 (it is now 7:50), so you can make it but you have to BOOK”
me: “GOT IT.” *takes off*
*accidentally knocks off a baby’s blanket. does not stop, like an asshole. yells EXCUSE ME to every British person in the way, while elbowing them, I’m from fucking New York, MOVE*
“few people runnin' about” happens
gotta go through security first
lady at the desk spins her computer monitor to show me what it says when she scans my boarding pass: “please proceed directly to gate 9”
me: “TRUST ME I FUCKING KNOW”
someone in front of me for some reason has every glass bottle in the world, doesn’t speak enough English for the security people to explain that it’s fine so long as there’s  no food or liquid in them
somehow I get through and make it to the gate
“if you had been 10 minutes later you would’ve caught us, but you’re good!”
phew.
find out later that my family had a similar yet worse experience in Frankfurt. ha.
turns out that was only the fucking beginning. because I still had to come back. here’s how that went.
day 1:
I’m supposed to fly out Saturday at 3 pm. my brother is flying out Saturday at 7 am. Friday night, we are on our way to the BnB and I double check my email.
surprise! my flight has changed. now at 7 am.
ughhhhhhhhhh
fine. I’ll just go to the airport with my brother.
we do that. Air BnB host nice enough to wake up and drive us—for a price, but a pretty good one.
they had a sauna and I had to skip out on using it (I only got to do it once) and I was pretty upset. fuck you, airline.
get to the airport at the asscrack of dawn
I check my email in the car one more time
….
wait a second
the date on this is for Sunday
fuuuuuuuuuuck
screw it, I’ll wait around until their service desk opens and have them put me on a flight
1 hour: nothing
I try and call them. on a janky phone that has issues with phone calls
customer service is closed, because Europe
call the US number
customer service is open and in English but it rings a few times and then I get a message in Icelandic and it hangs up.
….I’m never flying a Scandinavian-based airline ever a-fucking-gain.
2 hours: nothing
fuck. this.
I start googling hotels by the airport instead. check into one. get a shuttle there. room itself isn’t too expensive, but not money I really have.
oh fucking well
I pass out.
wake up, have to leave the hotel to get lunch, come back and read Yuri on Ice fanfic
oh daaamn this hotel has a sauna
tight
get smoked reindeer pasta at the hotel restaurant
go to sauna again
go back the fuck to sleep
day 2:
airport shuttle at the asscrack of dawn but this time I’ve slept all day
feeling annoyed but optimistic. this will suck but at least I’m rested.
get to the airport
once again they have changed the airline on me. this was not self-evident in the email
haul my ass to the right terminal. thank fuck there are only 2.
that last sentence is foreshadowing
in line for getting my ticket (b/c of course I can’t check in at a kiosk) and two people in front of me are going through the same shit. airline answered their phone calls tho and promised them money back
feeling more hopeful
am now flying through Amsterdam. they can’t print my connecting flight boarding pass. I will have to get it printed at the airport when I get there.
there is only an hour between the flights
I am hit with a sudden premonition of doom
but am still hopped up on anxiety medication
here we go again!
make it to Amsterdam with no drama
phone battery is dying. my external battery stopped working abruptly and there’s no charger on the smaller planes. it wouldn’t charge at the gate; was plugged in but draining. I turn it off. charges 2%.
more foreshadowing
I get off the plane and have to ask where to go to get to the correct airline. someone directs me. it’s a different terminal. I run-walk over there, knowing what’s about to happen.
passport control. spend 5 minutes panicking that I don’t have an e-passport b/c I don’t know where to look for the logo. turns out it’s on the front cover! I’m a dumbass.
get there. can’t check in/print off boarding pass
oh boy
have to wait in line for a service rep
this wait takes 35 minutes
I get to the front. my seat reservation somehow does not exist
she manages to print off my ticket. and call them to tell them I’m coming.
looks me in the eye: “you run.”
me: “I run.”
I do that.
new gate is 2 more terminals away
Amsterdam is fucking big and I have now run across 3 terminals of it.
the Dutch are better at moving out of the way than the English
I make it to the gate and people are there yelling “New York? New York!!” make it on the plane. phone won’t charge. ...... great.
no podcasts for me! I watch a Stonewall documentary, a gay rom com, and a slew of nature documentaries.
at least I’m on brand.
make it to New York in one piece. meet a nice German lady and everything.
it was hell coming back here from Greece but from Scandinavia it’s fucking amazing.
anyway
slight panic after going through passport control. I handed them my receipt, promptly forgot I did that, then got my baggage and began looking for my receipt to show to the next set of cops.
receipt was gone
ummmmmm
I empty out my entire bag
nothing
I ask the lady next to me if they kept the receipt
she says yes they did and I nearly collapse. guess there’s no next set of cops this time around. it’s different every fucking time.
she sympathizes. we have a nice chat. she has family in Helsinki and just got back from Greece and Italy.
Scandinavians are not friendly. FUCK I missed New York.
because some people will assume otherwise if i don’t say so: it was not a white lady. I really really missed New York.
I manage to make it to my subway stop with no more drama than wondering why I’m the only person on the train
I realized literally this morning that it’s almost a holiday weekend. oops.
make it to my apartment door
they installed a new front door while I was in another fucking country
(there were issues with the old one)
sign on the door says go see the super. who never answers his door, only the phone.
my phone battery is now at 10%
….
super’s not answering his phone. or the door.
7%
text and call neighbors who live near me. leave messages. try not to panic.
feel raindrops
look up
there’s a storm cloud coming in
I hear thunder
this is the point where I started laughing
I try the super’s other number
“uhhh you changed the door”
 “you were sleeping!”
 “I was in FINLAND!” 
“okay, give me a minute, I’m on my way”
5%
turn phone off
super appears. I am not soaking wet and laughing hysterically. yet. if he’d been any later it would’ve been another story
make it inside. plug in phone. it’s at 3%
answer all my family’s frantic texts, order food delivery, take a shower, go the fuck to sleep, and sleep 14 hours. felt fucking great.
go to work today because it’s 4th of July and if I don’t I’ll only be in for two days. oh well!
