#gosh my head is going to explode with this whole thing

[nightmanatee]

istg if d9/se will pull the whole good omens s2/3 thing with max and chloe breaking up just for the reunion at the end then i'm gonna start throwing hands.

[jaytalking]

Okay okay.

NAOOOO—

*inhaaalE*

So your Plasmius design.

*claps hands together multiple times*

Where do I even BEGIN to appreciate it OML I would fail at doing so-

Okay so.

Numero uno *cough*

The whole thing about him looking younger to embrace the vampire part. Yes. Yes I love that. That is now canon in my heart because it just WORKS. SO MUCH.

Because I feel like it could also tie into the fact that Vlad in the show is so obsessed with having lost everything and wanting all of it back, his youth included-

So he'd look younger as Plasmius EEEEEEEE

Also I LOVE how his eye shape changes as Plasmius and he looks more. Hostile and dangerous if you will—*explodes* eyes are the windows to one's soul I love eyes sm-

THE FANGS. THE FANGSSSSS—*taps the microphone* HE'S A VAMPIREEEE—

The way you turned the top of his cape into flames??? That is literally so so SO cool and amazing

Makes me wonder if he can maybe. Change the shape of it/make it appear and disappear whenever he wants?

Also his hands constantly looking like they have blood on them??? AND IT CAN SPREAD ONTO THE SURFACES HE TOUCHES??? TEN OUT OF TEN ISTG THAT IS JUST SOMETHING ELSEEEE/POS

Your young Vlad looks so huggable idk why

(Sorry kinda unrelated but I feel like younger Vlad was SUCH a timid person. And he'd get shy fast but he'd also be quite confident whenever he wanted.)

THE LOWER PART OF HIS HAIR BEING WHITE. I WILL—*holds head* "yes officer it's this design right here—"/silly

AND THE SCAR

Gosh my favorite part EVER

THEM GLOWING

OH MY DAYS THAT IS AWESOME

He looks like a fiery demon from the pits of hell I love it

I'm here for it

I'll put him in a freezer so he can cool down—/silly

I think we should give him pomegranate sorbet I think he'll like it

Cuz like

It's sour, but also has a sliiiight sweetness to it, and it has a bitterness in its core because of the pomegranate seeds. Idk I feel like that is just. So Vlad. Shfjfkvkvkv—/silly

Also very randomly: Vlad be like:

"Oh look, a sophisticated business man!"

"Oh, he’s a little bit messed up, actually..."

BUT YEAH I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR DESIGN FOR HIM I'LL HOLD HIM IN MY HANDS LIKE A LITTLE CREATURE/POS

Jophofhchvv thank you I never know how to respond to but know that we're screaming together!

Here's some fun facts about EctoScience Vlad:

-I really wanted to give him a dangerous vibe, ghosts can eat other ghosts to grow stronger extremely quickly in this AU and that's partly why he's as strong as he is, the other part being... halfas are just very powerful. Simply. Anyways everyone in the Zone knows and fears him; at the start of the series he's almost a boogeyman of sorts there until Danny starts beating him.

- Vlad didn't have a ghost form at first! His becoming a Halfa actually took a long time due to how it happened, and that's technically how it'll go for Danny too, he's just further along due to his own death being wayyy more violent than Vlad's. The progression into full ghost has slowed down a lot in Vlad's case, but for the reason I just mentioned, Danny's progression is fast.

- The "I hate you!" "You're like me!" Exchange is something I've had in mind since the start. In this AU specifically the circumstances of their "deaths" are extremely similar, but above all Danny fears turning fully into a ghost will make him lose his humanity and turn him evil due to, you know, actually listening to the "all ghosts are evil" bogus his parents believe. Vlad can sense that insecurity and in this AU he latches onto it like a vice to make Danny think him joining Vlad's side is inevitable in the end.

- Yes, he CAN make his cape disappear if it starts getting in his way in a fight, but I would also like to highlight his fire core making him very warm. Cats love him.

- His general behaviour as a ghost has been changed a little, he acts and fights fairly normally at first, but if the fight drags on for too long or his opponent runs away he's going FULL HORROR MOVIE VILLAIN. That first fight in the mansion was a lot longer and made Danny genuinely fear for his life. Let Vlad be MORE unhinged when he's pissed off I say.

HAHXHDHSHS FRAGILE!READER GAME PLAY HUT WHEN SHE THROWS A PUFFTORRE IT EXPLODES INTO CONFETTI 😭😭 (it was dottore's idea, you were very upset at this!!!)

ALSO JXHDKFHDKEHKCDHI 💥💥💥💥💥 THE THE.. IDEA I GOT... WHAT IFFFF dottore n fragile!reader are 2 characters as 1 unit? Like Clara n Svarog in HSR... Dottore is main dps while ur doing healing on one skill, which is using the Pufftorres/Foxttores JDHDKHDKEE IDK I JUST THINK IT'S SOOO CUTE n one idle is just them being silly together.... Hfjdekgrke dottore holding reader's cheek and reader gigglinh before he huffs and turns cuz u gotta fight and all!!! If reader gets hit n hp goes below like what, 40%? 50%? Immediately switches to dottore n he gets buffs cuz no body hurts his beloved and gets away with it!!! 😡😡😡 reader having favoritism with characters... Fatui and dottore almost getting huge number healing while others get almost none (esp the archons 💀) :33

ALSO VISIONLESS CHARACTERS!!! I need that too... Dottore with a vision is SOOO off putting

Also my voice lines. I'm OBSESSED... maybe... in game interactions when in battle together??? 💥💥💥💥💥💥I can't.... Officially my Roman Empire 💔😭

IM GOING INSANEEEE RAHHHH THIS IS SO FLIPPING CUTE I CANT- Not the confetti!! The poor Puffttores didn't consent to this!! 😭 BUT BEWJDE IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY... imagine you have a Treasure Hoarder or someone cowering in fear because you're playing around with the Puffttores in your hands menacingly... and you throw it at them ready to end the guy but!! Instead both of you are freaked out by the confetti floating everywhere! Dottore gets a very passionate rant from you later that day >:((

But like. Let's not forget about how many other possibilities there are. FRAGILE READER TEASER. It is mostly scenes of them and Zandik during the Akademiya. Except, current fragile reader is there in the background, forlornly watching their former self and Zandik's memories. With every new scene, fragile reader walks behind them, their gaze growing sadder and sadder the whole time, but they do not say a word. Until, it gets to a point where their former self starts to fade away, and in a panic they run after themselves, only to be met with nothingness. They have to accept that they'll no longer ever go back to their old self. (Kind of like Raiden's teaser)

DEMO. I imagine it's kind of like Furina's in a way. Because fragile reader's demo is all in their head/a dream. It begins deceptively happy at first, bright sunlight, joyful music, and smiles. They are finally doing the things they wanted, traveling to other nations, doing things that any normal person would do. Showing Foxttore the world too. The segments are there as well, bickering as usual while fragile reader looks on happily, interrupting them and pulling them to see all the sights the world has to offer. There are no worries, nothing bad happening at all... which makes it all the more unsettling. And at the end- fragile reader wakes up with a start, in complete and utter darkness. For it was all a dream.

COLLECTED MISCELLANY. Dainsleif introducing you, but surprise surprise! Dottore takes over instead to describe his beloved!! EBWDIEWB him explaining all of the silly moves you do with Foxttore and Puffttores... 😭 all with a straight tone. You guys are so married couple 😭

AND YESSSS BRO IM LOVING THEM BEING A 2 IN 1.... do NOT separate them!! In reality... Dottore doesn't really need your support skills (he's incredibly strong after all) but!! He doesn't have the heart when you're so excited to finally be near him... :( AND OH MY GOSH A SHARED IDLE WITH BOTH OF THEM... also consider: Dottore playfully ignoring reader by looking at his notes and clipboard... and you get all pouty until you snatch it out of his hands and he chuckles... ugh so many possibilities...

Immediately getting swapped out when you get too hurt 🥺 i was thinking that happens when you're about to take a killing hit but!! That's more accurate because he'd never let it reach that point! OKAY BUT ALSO REAL. I always thought it'd be cool if certain characters got special buffs based on their in-game relationship with others (like members of the Qixing, or the Knights, Lyney and Lynette etc) We love fragile reader doting on their fellow Fatuis and shitting on the Archons!! They can stay on life support for all you care!!

AND THE BATTLE INTERACTIONS- okay hear me out. For the 2 in 1 character, you get two different ultimates depending on who your active character is. If it's fragile reader, it starts with Dottore ready to do the job for you, but you valiantly put your arm out in front of him, because you wanna protect him!! He watches on with amusement as you assault the screen with tons of Puffttores :3 (they're unlimited) If Dottore is the one on the field, before he brutally annihilates the enemies, you give him a little kiss for good luck and jump around in the background cheering him on totally ignoring how those guys are completely dead!! :3

Okay and your death voice line too - "Zandik... save me..." <3

[jadetheblueartist]

JADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I FINISHED IT. I FINISHED EPIC THE MUSICAL AND IT IS SO SO SO GOOD!!! NSAXKJNCSDJKNADKJNCSDKJNCADKJANCDJKSNDCKJWDNCJK

OKAY FIRST OFF ODYSSEUS IS SO FUTURE LEO ITS INSANE.

AND SECOND JUST AGH THE WHOLE THING IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO MAD WHEN HE DROPPED THE STINKING BABY. AND ALSO HE IS A GENIUS THE WHOLE I AM “NOBODY” AND THE CYCLOPS BIT EVFNIHEFVNIHERFNIHREFNIRHE

WHEN STUPID WHATEVER HIS NAME IS (Best friend to Odysseus) DIED DURING SURVIVOR I WAS SO SAD. LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYY

OKAY I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU!

Favorite song?

Favorite animatic? (If you watched them)

Any scenes you wanna explode about?

Any songs that remind you of Spider’s Web Widens (or just tmnt in general)?

ALSO WAIT DID ATHENA LITERALLY JUST DIE??? BRO. IJCDWNWDIJCNCDWJI

THIS IS SO LONG I NEED TO ADD A CUT

-NYEHEHE YES HE IS VERY FUTURE LEO CODED

-YES AND LIKE I LOVE HOW HE WENT FROM “I KEEP THINKING OF THE INFANT FROM THAT NIGHT” TO “AND IF I HAVE TO DROP ANOTHER I FANT FROM A WALL IN AN INSTANT SO WE ALL DONT DIE? THEN ILL BECOME THE MONSTER” BRO SWITCHED UP 😭

-OH MY GOSH YES POLITES BROOOOOO idk which version you listened to but due to some licensing issue maybe they updated the first two sagas and in the new survive song you can hear bro hit the ground and like fhshdvjsjdbsjsk

-Ummmmmm favorites are tricky so I’ll actually just give you lots hahaha (by saga of course)

Troy Saga: it’s gotta be the horse and the infant bc that’s such a nice starter and it was the first I’d heard of the musical and it got me hooked

Cyclops Saga: I really like my goodbye bc daaaaaaaang their friendship breakup thing makes me saddddd :((((

Ocean Saga: I LOVE ruthlessness it is just soooooo fantastically stimmy and crazy powerful (and keep your friends close is a close second)

Circe Saga: Done for is just the best song from two really powerful and cunning people going head to head and duking it out and like sggdhdkdhfjdkdkskd yeah yeah yeah

Underworld Saga: HANDS DOWN ITS NO LONGER YOU IVE LISTENED TO THAT SO MANY TIMES ITS INSANE (and you NEED to see the future Mikey animatic for this song bc it’s partially what got me hooked)

Thunder Saga: I love all of these ones it’s so hard to choose 😭 so much happened but I’ll say suffering and different beast bc when those two play uninterrupted one after the other, it is magnificent!!!! I love how he’s so silly in the first one and then so FREAKING ANGRY IN THE SECOND LIKE DHDHSHHSKS BUT THEN THERES SCYLLA I LOOOOOOOOVE THAT ONE

Wisdom Saga: I love the beginning of love in paradise however god games has my HEART I love I love I love!!! I especially really like Aphrodite her part is just so addictive shdhdjdhjsjd

AND THEN TECHNICALLY THE VENGEANCE SAGA AND ITHACA SAGA ARENT OUT YET SO I CANT SAY. However I am really looking forward to get in the water for the vengeance saga and the challenge for Ithaca saga (oooooooh also king from Ithaca saga)

And then if you’d like I’d love to hear your favorites ^^

-my favorite animatic is like all of them hahaha tho I especially like the ones Gigi does they’re so cooooool

-bruh literally all the scenes all the time man i swear October 31 i am gonna be actually going insane for that release

-erm okay sooooo yes for sure, Camille got no longer you as a song for her but that was first draft camille so it doesn’t really apply anymore 😭 buuuuut the underworld DEFINITELY DOES. Also I’m not sure if I should say, but the part of the Scylla song where she’s singing at them is pretty important and could be an animatic of her backstory one day perhaps

And this is sort of sww, but more so just all of the turtles together fighting as one. I imagine in survive when ody’s barking out orders that’s Leo being a leader (awww proud of him) and then everyone else is so in sync and their a well oiled machine and there would be individual shots of each of them doing a great job and just fhdhhsjshdhdhs it’s hard to explain but it’s awesome

OHMIGOSH IM SO CONCERNED IDK FHDJDHSJHDDHSJKSHDHD ITS SO VAGUE LIKE I GOTTA FIND OUT PLEASE

[vidavalor]

I know we're all keeping you from posting the major sexy metas by inundating you with questions but the stuff you post is just SO INTRIGUING lol. Sooo, you think they use toys too, then? ;-) Gosh, I think they are further ahead than most of us! We can probably learn a thing or two from them. Do you think they may have inspired the Kama Sutra? On that note, I wonder what your thoughts are on spirituality/divine love and sex, or sex magick, and what of that you see reflected in Good Omens perhaps?

hi @procrastiel how are you, my darling? Ask and ye shall eventually receive (sorry for the delay). Really fun questions-- thank you! :)

The sex toy reference in GO: Lockdown and some thoughts on Crowley and Aziraphale, mindfulness, and Tantric Eye Gazing under the cut.

<<further ahead than most of us>> They have a few thousand years head start so one would hope.

<<you think they use toys too, then? ;-)>>

Do with this excerpt from the forthcoming Cake meta on GO: Lockdown what you will:

The Bundt cake exploded in popularity in Buddy Holly's America of the 1950s when the Nordicware company developed the Bundt pan with its distinctive shape. To date, Bundt cake is really the only type of cake named after the pan-- one might even say, the device-- used to bake the cake, rather than after the kind of cake itself. While you can bake many kinds of cake in a Bundt cake pan, the traditional choice is... pound cake.

<<inspired The Kama Sutra?>>

I don't think they inspired it since they at least tried to be a secret for some time but there are some things tied to it that seem relevant a bit maybe? The most direct thing to tantra that I noticed is maybe an allusion to Tantric Eye Gazing (sometimes also called "Soul Gazing").

This one is fun because there's actually some science behind it as well. It's been proven that staring into a trusted partner's eyes for about 40 to 60 seconds causes your body to start to generate the hormone oxytocin, the bonding chemical that some people call "the love hormone." Look into someone's eyes a little longer-- a couple of minutes or more-- and your body starts to flood with oxytocin.

The effects include decreased cortisol (stress hormone) production-- so less anxiety-- and an increased sense of calm/peace, etc., but it also causes a deeper connection between partners. You can theoretically do it anywhere you both feel safe and comfortable enough to be a bit vulnerable and where you are probably not going to be interrupted-- so, the bookshop, for them. If you practice Tantric Eye Gazing in bed, the love hormone flood deepens intimacy between partners and contributes to a more pleasurable experience. The preoccupation with Crowley's eyes and his whole serpent gaze is potentially a nod to something like this as well.

Aziraphale is, as we know, obsessed with Crowley's eyes. He painted half the shop their color. He lives for kinky lunch and being gazed at... he even got The Bentley to take off its sunglasses lol. Meanwhile, Crowley's favorite song is that besotted pinefest "Pale Blue Eyes" so it's not like it's a one-sided thing. They could have kind of fallen into aspects of Eye Gazing without knowing it is a thing, honestly, but I'd wager since they've been around forever, they know what it is. Plus, well, there's also crepes, which winds up defined around it fundamentally being about eventually coming back to a position that makes it easier to kiss and emphasizes eye contact, which is a way of emphasizing a focus on intimacy.

You could also, if you want to, take Aziraphale's "you like waiting inside" comment below a bit in this direction as well, because the idea with Tantric Eye Gazing in bed is that it is meant to bring about a sense of a kind of hyper-awareness of the present and to feel grounding-- not at all things these two like or need lol-- but, just as you can try this outside of bed and it's a different experience, it is also different in bed, depending on when and how you and your partner try it. One way is just while inside your partner but before actively moving much. "You like waiting inside" is already "you like just hanging out inside me and taking your time and driving us both insane" so it's not really far off to throw the eye thing in there as well.

Aziraphale does mean on one level that Crowley just likes being in the actual bookshop, yeah, but Aziraphale also both used the bookshop as euphemistic for his body earlier in the season and says the comment in the Marguerite's scene with a suggestive tone, so it's not out there to go there with it, imo. There are other things it suggests as well, really, but none that I can see that directly conflict with the idea of it being also related to Eye Gazing.

Tantric Eye Gazing is basically a mindfulness exercise as well and they are both overtly into trying to combat the blahs of life with mindfulness in scenes we've already seen-- the way they both breathe in the magic shop in the present in S2 and Aziraphale with the sushi in 1.01, for a couple of examples. This isn't just a way of coping with anxiety and depression; they are examples of sensual living. They both are already highly sensitive but add in the openness to experiencing things like food and music on a deeper level and it's not hard to reach the conclusion that they treat sex the same way, if not even more so.

The sushi scene is also an example of tying that sense of mindfulness to sex directly. I mean, Aziraphale taking that peaceful, centering breath and breathing in the brine there and hearing the miracle chime and assuming it was Crowley apparating in beside him so he wasn't expecting to silently ADHLKDJEKJKFLE GABRIEL! when he opened his eyes and looked towards where he thought Crowley would be...

...and that look? Yeah, they've tried and like and frequently do the eye thing lol.

The actual Kama Sutra itself? When I read your question, the gif below was what I pictured-- just Crowley tossing the whole book up and them picking pages out of the air and the running commentary...

"Absolutely not." "Hm, maybe that one." "You're bendy enough for this one." "Was this one not legally torture in several kingdoms at one point?" "That can't be comfortable." "We're magical and I think that would kill us..." lol

They probably tried what of it looked fun, as they seem willing to give anything that interests them a whirl.

<<sex magick in GO>>

I've made a note to put together some more coherent thoughts and do a separate thing on this at some point. It's a very creative question & I'd like to devote some more thought to it first. Thanks for the ask. :)

New screenshot spamming time now that I have the new outfits and ultimate ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

I honestly wasn't expecting the normal weapon skill to go so hard... And neither was I expecting them to literally explode the whole trial arena and just win like that 😂

That immortality reference :v

Myth MC so pretty

Can't help but love a battle couple who're so in sync

Look at these two being so cool 😎

And that planetary space background in the ult???? Hello???? Y'all went off to the speed of light that the whole place ended up in space??? But that's uber cool xD (gosh I sound like a boomer there...)

Also I somehow can get this out of my head now... The fact that they always face away from the explosions behind them...

🎶💥Cool guys don't look at explosions

They blow things up and then walk away

Whose got time to watch an explosion?

There's cool guy errands that they have to walk to💥🎶

Could you please write more !nicest fics with Reg and Sirius and James joining them

oh gosh I definitely plan to!! Here is the thing: I am a terribly slow writer. I apologize to everyone for this because really I have these great fic ideas and write as much as I can and then totally lose momentum and don't write for weeks. ANYWAY, here is a snip from a fic I started for Blackcest Fest but it went in a different direction than my prompt so I just made two different fics:

(context: regulus has moved into the Potter Manor with one goal: get Sirius to fuck him)

Regulus would have to adjust to Potter—James—in the room. He was sure he could get Sirius alone eventually.

The most that he’d gotten so far are a few offhanded flirtatious remarks and dazed looks. Both were intoxicating, but not enough. Not what he needed.

So today he would escalate.

They’d spent the day playing Quidditch, quite awkward with a Seeker, a Chaser, and a Beater, but somehow Potter and Sirius made everything into a game. Everything was a race or a competition. Who could eat the most (Potter), who could do a handstand for longer (Sirius), who could carry the other the furthest (Potter), who could stack their exploding snap cards the highest (Regulus, this was the only one he deigned to play and only because he was certain that he would win).

When they got back to their rooms Potter immediately pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it to the hamper. James Potter was fit, that was undeniable. Everyone knew he was fit, but unfortunately so did Potter. It made him unbearably cocky, and Regulus refused to fall for it. He’d only loved one person his whole life and he couldn’t lose focus now, not when he was so close.

Potter was distracting though, with his easy smile and the sweat trailing down his chest and—

Regulus looked to Sirius who seemed to be ogling Potter. If Sirius could fall for Potter, then surely Regulus could use the same tricks.

Regulus pulled his shirt off as well and watched Sirius’s eyes go wide as saucers. Regulus heard James choke a bit in the background, and Regulus turned smug.

A honest review of The Reckoning Of Roku.

Spoilers! Beware!!

While I do have complaints and deemed some of the changes uncanon because it doesn't fit at all in the narrative of "The Avatar and The Fire Lord (S3, EP 6)" and definitely had a hard time comprehending with the changes in Bendings, I actually did had an enjoyable reading experience.

Sure, Randy Ribay's writing has an odd pace and I get lost in the novel sometimes mainly because one, I forget things easily and two, I genuinely don't understand wtf is going on most of the time due to how I accidentally skimmed through it to which I'm sincerely sorry for. I will definitely re-read it sooner or later.

But my gosh, this book actually deserves some at least a chance to give a try in reading. I was actually skeptical about it at first because I only knew some leaks and the retcons actually made me frustrated to the point I just didn't wanna hear any about it anymore. If it weren't for one of my closest friends that brings a shining light upon the book that changed my perspective as a whole, which piques my interest and my curiosity growing bigger and bigger - I wouldn't even be making this! This book definitely deserve the praise on some areas that should be known for while also needing some criticisms.

I liked some of the cast [kinda], the world-building and the expansion is great! But what I really love the most is there are definitely some Filipino culture being influenced into the story instead of being simply being brushed aside (which isn't really a suprise! Randy Ribay is a Filipino author after all.)

Gyatso and Roku's arc compliment with each other so well, and the intimacy between the two of them is really sweet that it made me teary-eyed. It's a rough patch at the start that turned into such a wonderful, lovely friendship that really impacted Roku as a whole during his adulthood. Though expected yet endearing, it really explains why Roku's ideology and philopshy is similar to an Air Nomad. Yet, in a desperate and cling to life situations, that ideology and philopshy also have to be let go (Gyatso.)

AND I do know the whole plot happened because of Sozin, but I'm so pissed at him before he had done so diabolical that I literally had my hand over my head - stressed and hurt. I just.. genuinely hate it when Roku's perspective shifted to Sozin despite the circumstances that has given to Roku is so much more important to whatever Sozin is doing right now, but I understand that it's supposed to keep us tensed and it is to want us to delve deeper into the story. But oh my gosh I kept wishing Sozin just explodes so Roku can be much more focused!! His name is in the title!!! This isn't the "The Significance of Sozin" 💔

Ta Min being so much more than Roku's wife and actually has two professions, her insightfulness is interesting as well as Ta Min taking a liking on a boyfailure of an Avatar a.k.a Roku. While I do wish we could've seen more about it, especially in their adulthood where it will definitely feel more established. But it is still nice either way! <3 Ugh, I love Ra Min (along with Gyatku..)

There is so much to talk about it and I still have mutiple opinions that is packaged with issues.. and overwhelmed feelings... and lots of headcanons - but this is my first time reading an actual book from of the Avatar Studios, and oh boy, it's awesome!

[eirianerisdar]

Don't have an AO3 account, so I'm going to flail about Icarus here --- my gosh, this chapter just came in and hit me in the stomach like a tennis ball. I genuinely love how you describe things, I can see them so clearly in my head. Like this:

'Above them, Carlos and Charles catch each other’s hands and brace the flats of their racing boots together, bringing their knees into their chests as their wings flare to catch the air; their descent turns into a controlled, but terrifyingly fast horizontal spin. Charles’s giggle rings across the paddock, mixed with Carlos’s dolphin-like cackle.'

This is so good! You captured the carefree recklessness so well!

And Lando --- bless his heart, he's doing his best, and that's all that can be asked, isn't it?

Those scenes with Jos were scary, and I don't get scared when I'm reading that easy. Someone get that man out of here, he's not helping anyone.

Poor Dan --- it's going to get worse, isn't it? At least he got to spend some time with Max.

I'm going to reread this when I'm off work, this was an awesome update!

Thank you for your love for Icarus! I know this is a terribly late reply to your ask but I finally have a little time (super typhoon's hitting my city tomorrow so I won't have to work, hurrah to that, here's to hoping my windows don't explode) so I'm getting to replies now!

As you can probably tell by now, I have a soft spot for Charlos. Ferrari soldiers who have learned to only trust in each other. Their journey of wings and trimming and Ferrari expectations is different to that of Daniel, but it's no less important.

I'm about 4400 words into the newest chapter of Icarus, covering Bahrain 2022, so as you might expect, Charlos feature prominently. I'm can't wait to share it with everyone. Fans of Charlos hurt/comfort, fluff, and whump might like this one.

Thank you so much for pointing out how scary Jos is. I think I was proudest of the writing in his section out of the whole chapter. One thing I wanted to make sure to convey is how every word and action of his is poison and gaslighting. From the moment Max turns up Jos belittles anything that makes Max Max and praises an idea of him, not Max himself.

Another thing I wanted to show was how Jos uses touch as a weapon (something I am unfortunately familiar with because of my parents). I wanted to remind the reader that each time Jos touches Max there is an intent to control. When he grabs Max's elbow to look at his wing he is taking away Max's autonomy for his wings like Jos forced him to trim his wings for the first time at eighteen. When he squeezes Max's arm at the entrance to the operating theatre he is reminding Max that Max has to trim, because Jos wants him to. When Jos gets mad at Max in the car about Daniel he grabs him by his most vulnerable part both mentally and physically - his newly trimmed wings. It says several things at once: that Max is only of value to Jos with his wings mutilated; that Jos can hurt Max at any time; and that any weakness, over trimmed wings or friends, will not be tolerated. It is sick sort of power play and it is very, very effective.

Anyway, I'm popping off tumblr to write some more. I hope to post the next chapter tomorrow.

I saw your post comparing Elfilin and Hyness and thought you might appreciate my slightly (very) off topic ramble that got too long for a comment

I personally don't think the Jamba heart corrupted Hyness by itself, I think it absorbed the hatred and negative energy Hyness poured into it, and then that ended up corrupting him the longer it festered in the Heart (since it would have absorbed it without a release.)

So possibly a metaphor for what happens when people allow just anger to fester and become an all consuming hatred. That's just my interpretation though.

Oh and the Friend Heart might have come from the loyalty and good intentions which simply got overpowered by the negativity. (similar in a way to Elfilin being a manifestation of the small level of Elfilis' compassion but being overpowered when the two are brought together)

And furthermore, when the ritual went wrong and the heart split, the small amount of positive energy left in the Jamba Heart was gone, which may have tipped Hyness over the edge and into Insanity.

This interpretation comes full circle when the Friend Heart purifies Hyness at the end of Heroes In Another Dimension.

Ok I'm done now, sorry for the long sentences. Thought you might this silly little theory/headcanon, farewell 👈 ⁠(･⁠ v ⁠･👈)

Oh my gosh, I actually got a real ask. Alright, don't blow it, Sorta.

So I have heard of the whole "exacerbated his hatred" thing and that metaphor is pretty cool.

But forget about that, I wanna focus on that positivity part! I'm pretty sure that even if he understandably hated the scientifc Ancients for taking everything away from him and destroying his people, at least Hyness's initial ideas were to reach some kind of promised land to reunite with his lost people. And obviously his corruption wasn't exactly a quick one considering that "If my heart goes crazy..." pause screen.

What I find especially cool is the idea that Hyness's last remaining bit of positive energy was lost when the Heart exploded and led to the Friend Hearts. Maybe he still had just enough good left in him to realize how badly all of this was about to go and put in the Friend Hearts as a way to give at least some chance of himself being stopped (and perhaps saved). Maybe that good was the last remaining parts of his care and love for his adopted daughters (at least, that's how I always view the dynamic between those four). And of course, that last shred of positivity comes back around and allows him and the Mages to finally get the peace they needed for so long.

(Funnily enough, I've had not necessarily a headcanon, but just an idea in my head for years that Francisca and Flamberge were more concerned and upset about Hyness's corruption than Zan, who was all in on that stuff, and snuck in the positive energy of the Friend Hearts as a last-ditch attempt to not only prevent Void's rebirth, but give just a chance for their family to be saved. Not sure if that's a very smart idea (after all, 2019!Sorta wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed), but just a more emotional idea that's lingered for years. Yours might be better though!)

Man, am I starting to love this odd, messed-up family as of late!

dialogue starters from d20's A STARSTRUCK ODYSSEY; episode 1. feel free to change pronouns/context/etc.

"Seriously, where is everybody?"

"Oh, this is so fun, isn't it? Oh, it's so fun."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Oh, we are in very real danger."

"This database can interface but it can also devastate."

"Please, do your fucking job."

"We hate shenanigans, no more shenanigans."

"The fuck did you do?"

"I did what you would do."

"Are we fighting or are we running?"

"I'm trying to get the fuck out of here."

"I would be remiss if I did not say first and foremost that what you did was extraordinary, which is incredible for someone as emotionally checked out as I know you are."

"You ever thought about getting out of here?"

"What do you mean for now? For always."

"I mean, well, I'm a true spacer."

"You know, I feel bad about everything that happened."

"Welcome to the spacin' life, buddy."

"That wasn't truthful at all what you just said to him. And he just believed it."

"Listen, just go swim in circles or whatever you do."

"Why do you want to walk outta here with half a ship when you could have a whole ship?"

"Oh my gosh, what is going on up there?"

"Yeah, interesting. You already have so much blood on your hands. I'm sure you'd love to do that."

"Your big heart is going to get you in trouble."

"Listen, before we're like in the shit, do you wanna make a promise to each other?"

"Devastating. That means I've failed in my directive."

"We haven't failed yet. We're still alive, technically."

"Believe in yourself, [NAME], believe in yourself."

"Get out of my head."

"I'm not -- I'm not lying. I'm lying, it's me."

"Hey, so are we being chased like for any particular reason?"

"I'm personally inclined to keep them because that's how we make money."

"I'm personally inclined to keep them because that's how we make money. And money is how we make grenades."

"That's a win!"

"Listen, what can I do to get out of this, myself?"

"[NAME], my entire directive is to please people. Well, right now, you have severely displeased me."

"Well, that could have gone worse."

"I honestly thought we had 'em."

"We'll figure it out or whatever."

"Can I say something real fast?"

"This is the most worthless crew I have ever had in my entire life. Not one of you know how to do your job right. And that makes my job impossible."

"Hey man, you're a coward."

"I did actually hit one shot really well. I don't know if you saw, it exploded really big."

"You kind of took the fun out of it."

"I love imitation powdered egg substitute."

"Isn't that fun, right?"

"What else could go wrong today?"

"See you in the stars."

GIRLBOSS:

1. jay (EMBODIMENT of girlboss!!) 2. exandroth (she's a big cringefail but super girlboss) 3. kian (that one image of the anime girl in a room thats a mess with the text "MY GIRLBOSS EMPIRE IS CRUMBLING")

1. exandroth (she deserves it) 2. rumi (they are already a magical girl) 3. gillion (gillion is out here killing evil things like a magical girl too, fucking spectacular) 4. rolan (i imagined rolan girl with a grey streak in her hair so this is too hilarious to pass up) 5. rand (one of those anime weird girls im down with that) 6. kian (also writing this down to note she should keep the abs)

MINECRAFT:

1. goobleck (you met it on a server and it was really funny and you two are now friends forever) 2. thanatos (beats your ass in every competitive game but thinks youre good enough to team with despite you feeling bad and pathetic at the game) 3. rand (has been banned several times for swearing and being stupid but every time he's back you love him more) 4. rumi (has minecraft builds that blow your mind theyre so pretty) 5. peter (has minecraft builds that blow your mind for.. other reasons. needs some improvement. i like the big rock though. this guy keeps infodumping abt and he loved the addition of andesite btw) 6. jay (she is a hacker and is flying around like no one's business and got banned and was sad posting "i thought it was funny :(( please let me back in")

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

chip. just him. idk. i think he needs it.

i should have stopped this list over half an hour ago so yeah that's it I got way too lost in this sorry....

(maybe i will do more or redo this later because it was pretty fun)

Forever We Will Be

-------------------------------------------------------

Javi sat at one of the corners of a small bakery looking at a box that has a ring in it but it wasn't an ordinary ring, it was a wedding ring. He stared at it nervously thinking of all the negative outcomes as he never had proposed before and he was scared what would happen if he messed up. All of a sudden a voice was heard and he almost yeeted the box but he was able to hide it before anything happened as he turned around trying to look calm. "Amelia!"

Amelia tilted her head before massaging his shoulders and asked. "What were you doing? You seemed anxious."

Javi relaxed as she was massaging before tensing up again as his mind swirled to find an excuse. "I have to help Izzy with the laundry later today."

Amelia watched Javi before moving toward her seat and asking. "Laundry?"

Javi's hand sweated before scratching his cheek as he said. "Yeah, first time."

Amelia picked up the menu and said. "I can see why. Doing something new can be daunting."

Javi sighs of relief as he picked up the menu and looked at the options. "Yeah, it is pretty daunting."

Both of them placed their orders and in order to pass time they played hand games with each other until their food arrived.

Amelia happily picked up her fork and dug it into the cake before it exploded everywhere as she screeched in surprise.

Javi who was about to take a bite into his hot chocolate rolled ice cream was suddenly covered in cake in which he looked up at Amelia to only see the sight of their surrounding area and Amelia covered in cake. "Oh my gosh? Are you okay?!" he asked frantically while his mind was cursing at him that their dinner was ruined as he rushed to her side and dabbing the cake off with any napkins he can find on the table.

Amelia just sat their stunned even when Javi was dabbing her before clearing her throat and looked up at Javi with a smile. "I'm alright!"

Javi looked down at her and sighed of relief before grabbing her hand and then leading her out of the bakery. "I got a set of clean clothes for you."

Amelia looked at their hands as she blushed and thought. 'His hands are so warm...I'm lucky to have him as my boyfriend.' she was smiling like an idiot before she saw clothes within her line of vision. "Oh thank you!" she grabbed them and walked towards the bathroom.

Javi watched her leave and out of her sight before he dug into his pockets. He pulled out the box and opened the ring to make sure it was still there then smiled widely. Memories of Amelia flooded his mind, the first-ever keytar he got and played even to the point where his father took his instrument away to where she comforted him to him saving her and losing an arm. He raised his robotic arm and opened it then closed it then opened it again, thinking how Amelia gifted this arm to him and how she helped him along with that tough journey of self discovery again. He was filled with so many emotions that he wanted to give Amelia everything she deserved in this world. He looked up and saw Amelia walking back so he hid the box in his pocket.

Amelia saw Javi and just stopped for a moment as she witnessed the most magical thing in this world. The sunlight ray's coating around Javi made him look more angelic than ever which made her sprint and jump into his arms.

Javi tilted his head as he watched Amelia before yelping at the sudden hug before hugging her back and burying his face in her shoulder. "What's with the hug?"

Amelia squeezed Javi before pulling back and touching her forehead against his. "You looked very angelic because of the lights from the sun."

Javi blushed intensely at what she said before smiling wide. "Then I have something to tell you later but right now I have the whole day planned for just us two."

Amelia smiled widely at Javi before nodding and saying. "Let's go!"

-------------------------------------------------------

A lot went wrong with their lil date that day, they went to an amusement park and the rides they would go on would suddenly break down on them so they never got a chance to ride. They tried their hand at getting food but their machines broke down but they managed to have some Chinese food and the photo booth they went to also broke down, and his arm would sometimes break the doors off their hinges and the owners just made them fix their door, today was just not their day but Javi was not about to give up.

Javi looked out at the city on top of a mountain along with Amelia that would always happily take in the view every time they came here. He put his hand in his pocket and found the box before clearing his throat. He nervously walked up to Amelia and took her hands into his and took a deep breath in and out. "Amelia, come sit here for a sec."

Amelia tilted her head at what the black ranger was doing before nodding and followed him then sat down on a rock.

Javi went to his trunk and grabbed a guitar before swiftly gliding to Amelia then sat next to her. "For the next couple of minutes listen to this song and after that listen to what I have to say." he began strumming the strings making an angelic and ethereal sound like music. "You and I started off as strangers but the first moment I saw you I felt something inside me. We became something more over the years and you always helped me through the pain I had endured my whole life. Then we became lovers over time and we have been through a lot so baby I will always love you... Giving me the chance to love you was the best thing that happened in my life. The way you smile at me, the way your eyes sparkle when you are excited, the way you have a big personality I will always truly love so baby I will always love you..." he stopped strumming and looked up at the sky.

Amelia placed both of her hands on her chest as she felt her heart pounding as she listened to the song that was about her while she had the biggest smile on her face. She remained silent as Javi did want to say something after he sang so she just watched in excitement.

He went down on one knee while placing his guitar against the rock and said. "Amelia, the love of my life, you have always been there for me, the issue with my dad to me losing an arm I will truly be grateful to you. The smile you have every day always gives me happiness and I would love to ask you an important question. He dug into his pocket and pulled out a box then opened it, revealing a black and pink ring from it. "Will you marry me?"

Amelia gasped as she saw the ring while putting both of her hands over her mouth in shock because she was processing what just happened before she jumped onto Javi causing him to fall on his back as she looked down on him and screamed. "YES!"

Javi who was falling moved his robotic hand around Amelia's back and covered the ring so he wouldn't lose it before going. "I could've dropped the ring!" he said seriously before laughing out loud. "Then yet again we are idiots."

Amelia got off Javi and helped him up then put out her finger excitedly. "But we are each other idiots. By the way, where'd you get the ring? Never seen anything like it at stores."

Javi lovingly looked at Amelia before placing the ring on her hand and answering. "The Warden had two rings actually when he found them. My father and my mother were on the police force together before they changed jobs and before they dated eachother. When they were in California, exploring a crime scene in a cave they saw these two rings on a pedestal, there was a note that said, whoever finds these rings, I hope you can make use of them more than I did, they deserve to be on newly weds not in this dump. And so with careful inspection they decided to grant this wish, whoever it was."

Amelia's jaw dropped as she heard the rings were gifted by ghosts before looking down at it as her eyes sparkled. "Is there a superstition on the rings?"

Javi grinned as he was expecting that answer and said. "Yes, the two people wearing these two rings at the same time will be blessed with good luck and fortune, but also forever love." he winks as he said the last sentence

Amelia looked up before shaking Javi and said. "Put yours on now!"

Javi cackles as he was being shaken before he gently stopped Amelia and said. "Okay okay!" he gets up and goes to his car till he came back. He plopped down next to Amelia and showed his hand with the ring on his finger. "There."

Amelia peered at the ring before leaning in closer and was in awe as she said. "Mine is like full black and pink but yours is like full black but hints of pink. These are truly beautiful."

Javi gazed at Amelia with the warmest smile as he watched her intrigued by the rings.

Amelia blinked before looking up at Javi and asking. "Hey! So you ask for my ring finger size for a friend was a lie?"

Javi puts his hands up like he was guilty but had the biggest smirk on his face. "I had to get your measures to exactly match your ring size."

Amelia shook her head as she fell for that before cuddling close to Javi and smiling. "Well we did promise to not lie but I guess I can let that one slip since it was for a good cause."

Javi wrapped his arms around Amelia and rested his head on her shoulder as he looked at the pinkish, orange sunset. "Thank you, boss."

Amelia leaned her head on Javi's shoulder as she took both Javi's robotic and human hand into her own as she stared at the sunset too. "You're welcome, my marshmallow babe."

Incoherent ramblings about TLOU(s last episode)

Wednesday... About to get ready for another hard day of adulting and making decisions I do NOT wanna make but have to. But before that I need to get some thoughts out of my head or my brain will explode.

Sunday was the last episode of my new fav show. I knew it would be hard and devastating. It always has been so far. And boy did they deliver the most emotional rollercoaster so far. 

Once again, that show is hitting highs no other show will ever get to. Everything else pales against the most genius writing/filming/editing... it’s the most perfect thing out there right now (yes, OFMD is still a VERY close second, I love that one dearly but right now TLOU just is THE show).

Week after week Im blown away by the whole thing, but particular by Pedro’s and Bella’s insane acting!!! Those two are so fuckin’ talented. Bella is just ... GOD, that kid (I mean, they’re NINETEEN!!!) *shakes head* How they’re doing this, playing a CHILD like this?!?!? It’s fucking MINDBLOWING!! Ellie’s carefree giggles compared to the devastating delivery of ONE FUCKING WORD at the end is incomprehensible to me!!! I know I keep saying this, but if they’re not getting ALL THE FREAKING AWARDS come award season, there’s something SERIOUSLY wrong with the whole damn thing. Im sure they know how amazing they are, they  must be seeing all the love and adoration and praise all over the place and yet I wanna yell it into their face, let them know how very much they’re changing the landscape of ACTING!! UGH!!

And do NOT get me started on Pedro. That man. *shakes head* I’ve spent the past weeks in Pedro heaven. Watching (my way through) all his work, interviews, scrolling though instas and pinterest sides, doing the deepest dive I’ve done when coming in new into a fandom that’s pretty much existent for over a decade!

It’s so insane to me, that the man who’s doing the loveliest/funniest/silliest interviews and being the dorkiest, most lovable human being under the sun, is capable of bringing to life one of the most complicated character i’ve ever witnessed. His Joel is stunning. (again, I don’t know the game so I have NOTHING to compare to - Im sure others can speak on that) but BY THE GODS, his range is fucking unbelievable!!! He goes from being the coldest, most closed-off human being to the softest and gentlest dad and it’s a fucking JOY to witness that. Seeing him open up, bit by excruciating bit, letting his heart love again... just to have to become the cruelest, most fearsome man in order to save his Ellie? My heart shattered into a million pieces watching him going on that rampage in the hospital - im still getting chills just thinking about that. Playing someone like that isn’t easy, getting into the headspace of it, preparing to convincingly portray someone who’s entire world just came crashing down on him AGAIN? I can’t even imagine how one does that.

Pedro makes it look like it’s the easiest thing in the world!!! Which makes it even more insane when you KNOW what a soft, sweet and gentle goofball he seems to be in real life!!!

Words still fail me here. So yeah, if you’ve watched it, you probably know what I mean.

The SOFTNESS of him in that episode, trying to get Ellie to talk, to engage, knowing what she’s went through - the reversal of their dynamics from back in the first epis: Ellie chattering about all day, and Joel being all silent and grumpy is incredible. His face when he talks to her about things he LOVES? Goodness me, my heart was aching. He was trying SO HARD!!!

And poor Ellie was traumatized and yet she’s doing her best to reply, to be present. 

I am in love with all of Joel’s facial expression around her. (his face must HURT from all the smiling he’s done in this episode. That man was MADE to smile - it’s like the fucking SUN and how dare they to deny him that!) He’s so SOFT and sweet and embracing the love he has for her. Telling her the truth about the scar? GOSH, my heart was beating out of my chest when I realized WHAT had happened. But then, of course he tried - his purpose was gone. (Which in return makes me wonder, WHY he didn’t try again??? So many questions. Joel’s such a complicated, complex person and I can’t wait to try my hands on him in writing!)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when they give us such tender moments (even though I  KNOW they won’t last). Even when they’re painful like ‘I’ll follow you anywhere you go’ or ‘wasn’t time that did it’. ASDFGHJKLÖÄ. These two (actors and characters) are soo soo dear to my heart by now and I would go to the ends of the fucking universe to protect them!!!

They deserve some peace and quiet... but of course they won’t get it. Well, at least we have around 2 years I guess until they’ll be back?!  I wonder how unspoilered I can stay. (I know too much already but Im still not looking for it, even though Bella (probably unconsciously) may have spoilered...some things (again, I’ve seen things so that wasn’t a hard leap to make). I don’t know.

I just know, I hope to see her and Pedro together again for events and award season, being their beautiful, adorable, lovely selves around each other, making me smile til my face hurts and help me get through anything shitty real life throws at me. Their real life chemistry is insane and I love their love for each other so very much!! It oozes from every look they share, every touch and I’ve never seen a more perfect team than these two!!! *sighs happily*

So what I’m trying to say here is, that I love this show! Every single frame, every single second of pain and heartbreak, love and joy it brought me in the last nine weeks. EVERYTHING about it is perfect to me, every choice they made, be it music (ASDFGHJKLÖ), lights, cameras, locations... it’s just overall the most beautiful, perfect and epic thing i’ve watched since OFMD last year!

I might add some more incoherent thoughts once I’ve rewatched it with a bit of space between now and then. I KNOW I will def try my hands on writing some TLOU fic (not exactly sure what).

PAIRING. enhypen x reader 

GENRE.  fluff, crack // headcanon

WARNINGS. mentions of kissing, not proofread

A/N. im not back to posting yet, but it was 11pm when i suddenly got the inspiration to write this so~~ here’s a little headcanon. 

# Heeseung 

When I say this man whines. I mean he WHINES 

like full on 😯😒🥺😢 maybe some mood swings here and there.

You two would be playing video games on the couch and he was, well, winning as much as you hated to admit it. 

so you started to complain, “Dude, why are you so good at this game?” 

He goes blank, mouth hanging open. Did you really just call him, dude? 

He will seriously be a drama king about it! 

The controller fell out of his hands, you managing to cross the line before him making you raise your arm in victory while he just stares at you. 

“I won!” You laughed

“Yah...” He started, “You dare call me dude?” 

“I mean, aren’t you a dude?” You asked, raising a brow at him. c’mon, what’s the harm in calling your boyfriend dude? 

He questions all his life choices, just sitting there, blank. 

you had to shake his shoulders to get his attention again, “Heeseung?” 

He suddenly screamed making you jump back from shock, “Hee, what the actual heck!?” 

“Y/n, I think we should break up.” He takes in a dramatic breath. 

“Um, what?” you looked at him, “So suddenly?”

“I won’t have my girlfriend call me, dude.” He said the last word disgustedly, treating it as if it were a swear word. 

“Oh my God-” 

“Maybe...maybe we weren’t meant to be.” He fell to the couch. 

“you are so gosh darn dramatic.” You shook your head, “ok then, if you say so.” You stood up, grabbing your purse, before he grabbed your wrist. 

“No, don’t go!” 

“Dude, make up your mind!” 

He acted as if he was stabbed in the heart, “No more dude, okay? I ban that word from your mouth!” 

“And who says-” 

“Nope! Or no more hugs and kisses!” 

“Evil. You’re evil.” 

“I will if I have to be.” 😇 “Deal?” 

“Okay fine.” 🙄

# Jay

Will give you a whole butt lecture on why you shouldn’t call him bro. 😂

like i can totally see him letting it slide maybe once or twice, maybe give you a little brow raise, but when you did it a third time, boyfriend mode is unlocked. 

So you thought you could get away with it when he didn’t mention anything after the second time you did it so you were now a little confident and decided to be cheeky. 

and guess what you decided to do? You had a fake phone conversation with someone. bad idea. 

Hiii, yeah, me? I’m with my bro right now, sorry!” Man, did Jay’s eyes shoot up to look up at you in an instant, “Okay, bye!” 

“Who was that?” 

“Ah, it was Jake’s girlfriend” You told him putting your phone down. 

“Okay, but don’t call me your bro, y/n...” 

“Why not?” You asked ‘innocently.’ quote marks on innocently. 

“Because I‘m not your brother? It’s like if I called you my daughter or my cousin!” 

“No it’s not!” You defended, holding back your laughter

“How’s it different?! I’m your very amazing boyfriend, not your brother! Bro is just an abbreviation for brother. It’s like if I called you cous. That wouldn’t be right because you’re NOT my cousin, right??” He ranted in one breath, wide eyes on you. 

Your held back laughter exploded and you rolled on the floor, holding your stomach. “You’re ridiculous, Jay love.” 

“It’s not ridiculous. It’s a real thing. Why are you-” You interrupted him by ruffling his hair. 

“You’re reaction was perfect. Niki was right.” (poor niki is always the victim in my headcanons 😊)

“niki put you up to this!? Now THAT’S ridiculous. Why am I even surprised?”

“I don’t know, but you always seem to make these sort of situation hilarious” 

He shook his head, “Just please don’t call me bro anymore.”

# Jake

he won’t even confront you. He’ll just be very extra with his endearing names for you hoping that you would get the hint 😂

“Dude, this video is so funny!” You tilted your phone so that he could see.” You didn’t even mean anything by it. You’d just been talking with a lot of people who used the word ‘dude/bro’ a lot and you adapted to it. 

“You’re funnier, snickerdoodle.” 

Okay, that’s a cute nickname, but it kept going. and every time you would call him bro/dude, he would come up with some weird name. 

“Sugar snap tea, can you hand me the remote?” 

“Would you like to cuddle, honey butter biscuit?”

“Are you talking to me?” You asked, confused by the strange behavior of Jake. 

“Of course I am, baby bugga-boo. Who else would I be talking to?” 

Yeah, you were a bit clueless to say the least.

“Okay, what’s with these very um...cringe sweet nicknames?”

“I just love you so much, cuddly-wuddly.” He smiled and you raised a brow. 

“Okay what is it, love?” 

“Woah...I think it’s the first time I’ve heard you actually call me by a pet name all day!” 

“What?” 

“You’ve been calling bro and dude all day.” He complained, “It’s about time you called me, love.” 

“So that’s why?” You laughed, “I’m sorry, it wasn’t on purpose. I’ve just kinda adopted the word after hearing it so much. Didn’t know it bothered you.” 

“Well, now you know, butterbuns.” 

“Okay now you have to stop with these nicknames!” 

# Sunghoon

Sunghoon will 100% look at you like you just committed a crime. 

like, you weren’t even doing a prank or anything. You were just cooking in the kitchen and ‘bro’ slipped from your mouth, 

“Hey, bro! Can you grab the oil from the cabinet?” You asked, as you stirred the pot. 

Won’t even bat an eye before raising a brow at you like, 🤨🤨 “Yeah, Once you stop calling me your bro.” 

You only turn your head quickly to glance at him, crossing his arms and you stifle a laugh, “Seriously, Hoon?” 

“‘Seriously, Hoon?’” He mocked, rolling his eyes. 

“I don’t know, bro. Bro has a nice ring to it.” You teased, seasoning the food. 

He scoffed, “Do bros usually do this?” He turned the stove off, turning you away from the oven and placing a quick kiss to your lips. 

You scrunched your face, “Depe-” 

He interrupted you, “No. No they don’t.” 

You laughed, “Alright alright, I get it! Can I go back to cooking now?” 

“mmm, what’s my name?” 

“Baby, love, Sweetie, love of my life, my handsome boyfriend, please?” 

He nodded, “That’s more like it.” 

“petty.” you smiled

“Whatever floats your boat.” 

# Sunoo

He’ll just...ignore you. 

pftt you actually had the audacity to call him something that wasn’t a personal endearment by you? no way.

literally, you’ll just be like, “Dude, let’s go cuddle!” 

like, this man won’t even bat and eye. he’ll just pretend that he didn’t hear you 

ok? 

“Bro?” You poked him...and poked him until you FINALLY got his attention. 

“That’s not my name.” He rolled his eyes, going back to scrolling through his phone. 

You shrugged, “I quite like it, bro.” 

and he ignored you...again. 

so you just left the couch to do something else for a little bit. 

after about two hours, you decided to try again. 

“Hey bro, can you give me the blanket behind you?” 

he didn’t say anything. 

“Sunoo?” 

“Oh sorry, were you talking to me or your bro?” 🤷🏻‍♀️😇

“Both?” You replied

“That can’t be. Cause I’m not your bro. I’m your boyfriend and since that’s the case, my name is, “Sweetie, love, or Sunoo to you.” 

“Okay, sorry, bro.” You ignored his small lecture with a teasing smile. 

“Yah,” He he widened his eyes, “I’m going to go cancel our reservations!” He shook his head, rolling his eyes once again before grabbing his phone. 

“Wait no no!” You giggled, pulling his phone from him, “Let’s go eat, love!” 

“Hmm” he put his finger to his chin in thought, “promise no more calling me bro?”

“I promise!” you held your pinky out and he hesitated before connecting his pinky with yours’ “You better not be lying or I WILL give you the silent treatment.” 

No really. He will.

# Jungwon 

Ok, he would be kinda confused and also shy about confronting you about it unlike Sunghoon. :))

like...this was so unlike you?? you always called him by a cute nickname of some sort and in his opinion, bro was NOT a cute nickname. 

So hear me out, you two would be on a date at some restaurant that the two of you picked out and that was where you decided to tease him by calling him bro. 

Bad timing, you know, but that’s what made it exciting. 

When the waiter came up to you and he asked him what you wanted, you replied with what you wanted and asked Jungwon, “Hey bro, what about you? What do you want to eat?” 

His face seriously went from 😊 to 🤐 

in front of the waiter??

but nonetheless, he ordered and the waiter gave you a small smile before leaving your table. 

Did he just smile at you? 

Rude. he rolled his eyes. well, in his head at least. he wouldn’t do that in front of you. not a chance. 

So the entire dinner, you just called him bro/dude/bruh, whatever floated your prankster boat. and you thought that it wasn’t working on him considering his coolness about it 

but hold up, he was cool on the outside, but the inside was boiling. like, not mad at you, but in public like this? in front of boys who were smiling at you. nooo

you didn’t notice him wince every time you called him something other than a nickname. 

It wasn’t until the waiter came back that you seemed to get some sort of reaction from him. 

“Hope the food was good. Can I get you anything for dessert?” 

before you could reply, Jungwon was already up and putting his hand in yours’, “Sorry, my girlfriend and I have other plans.” when I say he was passive aggressive. He was passive aggressive. 

poor waiter was left confused when Jungwon shot a glare at him before pulling you out of the restaurant. (of course paying for the meal first) like, he was just doing his job. but Jungwon was also doing his job as a boyfriend 😉 (his words when you asked him later. not mine) 

when you were both walking back to the dorms, you nudged him with your shoulder, “What was that back there?” You started, “Sorry, my girlfriend and I have other plans.” You teased, laughing. 

“Stoooop” He whined, “It’s your fault! Why were you calling me bro?” 

“Just wanted to get a reaction out of you. i thought it wasn’t working, but apparently...”

“Yeah, well we were in public. Of course I’d be upset if some guys were smiling at my girlfriend thinking you were my sister!” He mumbled. 

Yes, of course you told the boys about your lil’ prank. And yes, of course they teased him later, but it’s ok cause he would get back at you.

# Niki

Will do it right back at you. 

I mean, did you really think you could pull this little prank on him, savage Riki?

no. 

“Hey bro, can you get me a cup of water?” 

He’ll look at you for a millisecond before he catches on, “Yeah, sure, sis” 

Now that took YOU by surprise, like what? He just called you sis?

Now you are the one upset, but you were not going to be the one to stop first. oh no. 

So when he comes back with water you thank him, “Thanks bro.” 

“No problem, sis.” 

you cringed in your seat, hating to hear him call you sis. what? you know you started it, but you just wanted to be called ‘love’ :( 

What’s funny is the fact that in the middle of you boths’ petty game of ‘who would stop first’ the boys came back to the dorm to find you calling each other bro and sis. 

they’re just like 🤨🙄 ok? but by now, they were already used to your guys’ odd behavior. 

at the end of the day, it was you, the one who started the prank, who stopped first. 

“Babyyy, I’m sorry!!! Can you stop calling me sis now?”

“I don’t know, I think you need to learn your lesson further...sis” He raised a brow at you, but laughed at your 😲 face. 

“noooo” you dramatically fell to the ground 

he chuckled, “I’m joking, but I hope you won’t call me bro again.” 

“lesson learned”
