charles_leclerc I always thought I was just a fan of cameras, turns out, I loved smiling in photos when you're the one behind the lenses. I do not know the first thing about photography, but I do know every picture of you I have deserves to be treasured.

The day you took your first picture of me was the same day you captured my heart. It's been yours ever since.

yourusername i was about to quit photography as a whole when i got accepted as a photographer for ferrari. who knew accepting this job when i was on the brink of losing what i was passionate about would only be the reason why i wake up every day doing what i love and living my best life.

bonus: i met the love of my life while doing it 🤍 it was later that i realized i don't just love taking pictures in general, i adored who i was taking photos of.

took a while before we shared with the world what we meant to each other, but the answer to why i capture charles so well — i take photos from my heart, which incidentally, belongs to him.

[katyspersonal]

*voice of a guy who fails to be on hiatus even if he needs one* Hey, actually recently a topic of difficulty in Soulsborne games came up for me o: And I even had the pleasure of disagreeing with a person who was mature about their point of view! I just thought I'd make my own post, and for starters I want to link a video that lines up with my opinion on the matter very well too!

Despite what it might look like, I do not dwell on this guy's channel, but exclusively see his videos on Fromsoft's games x)

But personally, I agree with the notion that character's difficulty IS part of their lore too! That epiphany mostly came when I took over 70 attempts to defeat Malenia, who, I remind, "has never known defeat", so her being so hard at her lowest as she is falling apart was... very telling. There is a difference between just hearing the person is strong and feeling it yourself when they beat your ass, and I think this experience is a good thing to have!

There is also a selfish and possibly petty reason I have that is better described as "gatekeeping the normies". From my experience, most people who are upset at how hard these games are not genuinely invested fans that just don't vibe with having to die 600 times to learn more interesting lore but casual people who want to, as they call it, "consume currently popular media" to be able to create "relevant content" 🤦‍♂️ Wanting to be in the loop is just not what genuine investment and caring is about.

Miyazaki stated they were not adding difficulty levels because they wanted to present the challenge everyone would overcome in the style that fit them individually as a player! It feels like he is an indie dev without being an indie dev for me; caring not about attracting more players, but about giving experience he WANTS to give! Personally, it is exactly what I want from any creator - to be unapologetically themselves rather than trying to be convenient for more people! Some games are just not for everyone, and it is okay! Thing for everyone is a thing for no one, in the long run. Heck, I am so horrible at playing From's games that even my friends would laugh at me if they saw me streaming :/ What fits me as a player is to show resolve grinding stats (I listen to podcasts meanwhile xD), or coming up with absolutely insane strategies no normal person would come up with fshfhsd

At the same time, there is a large community of gamer dudes who not only defends absence of easy mode in these games more than I do, but also insist on creating artificial difficulty and will mock a fellow gamer for like using Mimic Tear or Comet Azur ffs. I do not go there, but people who built their self-worth on overcoming this challenge and thus feel personally attacked if someone plays the game with "imbalanced" weapons/builds, or, heck, creates and uses photo and deaggro mods. You can probably see from my posts that for me this sort of people is nearly like just a scary legend, when for others it is the reality they delve into and that ruins THEIR fandom experience.. so I suppose I don't miss much not touching Reddit and Youtube in 99% of the time 🤦‍♂️ But I think that gamer bros would ALWAYS find a way to be toxic. Had Fromsoft's games HAD an easy mode, they'd still play them and find another stupid way to gatekeep, difficulty is just currently available tool for it! As usual I think the problem is not on the developer, but on the community that twists what this developer did into something awful

I guess my stance basically goes 'creators should not change their philosophy because that's what creating should be, but the community that thrives on artificial difficulty and "correct" ways to play is bad and should be discouraged from this behaviour'

[caitlyn-has-a-conspiracy-board]

Veilguard thoughts

Okay so now that I managed to actually make some progress, I figured I'd share my thoughts about the game. Some mild spoilers under the cut and all that

The character creator... like OH BOY that was a lot of sliders. I mean, I knew the CC was really insane based on what some content creators had shared but nothing had me prepared for the amount of sliders like... So. Many. Sliders. Took me about a whole hour, give or take, to make my Rook and then struggle - and I really mean STRUGGLE - to bring my Inquisitor to life. She looks okay I guess, haven't ran into her yet so we'll see.

Bad quality phone pic cuz yes it took me ages to remember photo mode IS A THING so. Yeah. This is my Rook. Meet Mara Mercar, local Shadow Dragon and certified lesbian disaster. Ngl after struggling with all those sliders of doom, the second I saw her in-game for the first time doing the bar scene brought me an insane amount of happy feels.

Solas, Solas, Solas... I still don't trust that man. Granted he murdered poor Bianca (rip Bianca you'll be missed) which was already a big HOW DARE YOU moment, but then he goes and stabs Varric??????? Hell nah. Tbh something tells me he's 'helping' for his own agenda and the second he gets his chance, he'll stab Rook in the back. I'm going forward 100% with the feeling he's the mage that betrays you. Again.

Neve Gallus.... Listen I was already going in full intending on romancing her but nothing had me prepared for the actually depths of her character. Every interaction with her, being it a cutscene or just party banter has me on the edge of my seat because you get all these little tiny things that make the whole and I'm honestly enjoy that a lot. My favorite stuff so far is when you get to go with her to Dock Town, both during one of her side quests and during one of the main ones and you just see her like, interact with the people around her and make little comments about this and that. The romance part is going slow as I'm working to do all the little quests and taking my time exploring but I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

I saw some people before saying they find Bellara annoying and I'm like... HOW??? She is so adorable!!! I love how excited she is about everything, and especially the way she interacts with Neve. Their scenes have been some of my favorite things so far, because Bellara will act like an excited ball of energy and Neve is just in the background letting out a good natured exasperated sigh but still taking the time to be sweet to her and answer her questions/humor her. (side note: the calibrations line gave me war flashbacks so thank you for that Bioware)

I don't think I have much to say about Harding so far, aside from being happy she's a companion now and being curious about her sudden magic abilities. I sorta feel like they might be connected to the ending of the Descent DLC from DA:I so I'm glad I got to play that before Veilguard came out.

I have to admit I wasn't very sure about Lucanis because of the entire demon thing + the way he sounds a bit too much like Puss in Boots but he's somehow growing on me.... like a weed. I still think his cousin is sus and to blame for him getting taken by the Venatori, so we'll see how that plays out further on

(by my comments you can probably tell who I've been running around with the most but yeah, it is what it is)

I haven't gone further enough to recruit the rest of the companions but I'm excited to meet them and see what they bring to the table story wise (secretly hoping for some chaotic stuff laugh worthy to go down in the lighthouse when everyone is accounted for). So. Anyway.

Story wise I'm loving everything so far and I really like the 'know your companions better' direction with this game compared to the older ones. Graphic wise everything is absolutely gorgeous and I have had to stop a few times to just really take in the scenery because woah.

And yeah so I guess we'll see what happens next!

(In the end I figured out photo mode yay)

Get to Know Me - Sims Edition

I was tagged by @happy-lemon Thank you very much this was a lot of fun :D

What’s your favorite Sims death?

- There was this one time I had a sim stargazing and completely out of a blue, a freaking meteor fell on them. I think this was TS2 but it was so random and honestly kinda hilarious so it’s my fave

Alpha CC or MaxisMatch?

- For TS2, I am a maxis match kinda gal. For TS3, I love alpha CC a bunch but clothing-wise, I like a mixture of the two. For TS4, it’s more a maxis mix but leaning heavily towards the maxis match. I guess I’m very open-minded to it all

Do you cheat your sims weight?

- Hecks nah

Do you move objects?

- All the time ALL THE TIME

Favorite Mod?

- Da pose player. Grateful 4 u everyday 

First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?

- The Sim’s 2 Castaways. Mucho fun, I think I’ve played the campaign a solid 20-30 times

Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing

- NO WAIT this is news to me I literally am just like live mode I didn’t know that there was like an actual phrase

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

- AHHHH ah this is so hard but I have to pick to OK hear me out but Frances and Atlas are near and dear to my heart. It’s funny because they were apart of a RP but they’ve been around since 2015 (y’all wanna see a pic? it’s so bad). I feel like there’s just a lot of history there and it’s so cool to see an idea just flourish from there and they just kinda stick with you for a good while. I also love Icarus and Taryn to death but like the deep and endearing kinda love has to go to Frances and Atlas

Have you made a simself?

- yis

Which is your favorite EA hair color?

- I like black hair a whole bunch 

Favorite EA hair?

- The short, choppy hair from Cottage Living or even the pixie from Get to Work! I love short hair

Favorite life stage?

- Teen! Especially in TS2, I feel like because of the extensive world building and all of the drama, it just makes it super enjoyable!

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

- Gameplay! I do like to decorate, but I’m not much of a builder

Are you a CC creator?

- I know how to make poses and some recolors but that’s just about it ;3; I also know how to skinblend in TS3 B) Sorta B)

Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?

- No, there’s one person I still keep in touch with back when I was more active in the community but she no longer has a simblr. I would however like to branch out when I idk learn how to talk to ppl 💀

Do you have any sims merch?

- HAH no

Do you have a YouTube for sims?

- HAHAHAH hah that’s literally how I got into posting the sims. I uploaded three seasons of a sim story as well as some machinimas ;___; I took it down tho because while I was very proud of doing something from start to finish, it is a lil cheesy

How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?

- I feel like in the very beginning, it was very minimal. Like I did not know how to push my game. Now I feel like it’s a lot more authentic to me. I’m not gonna lie, I have a lot of fun prepping any posts, I feel like I don’t have to think as much. It also helps that there’s an arsenal of really sick CC at my disposal

What’s your origin id?

- Elderwisp :)

Who’s your favorite CC creator?

- I really like sunivva hairs or everything by sforzcc for TS4. Pralinesims is carrying the whole accessories and makeup team for both games. For TS3, rollo-rolls or even pocci and milla. ATS3/4 is really awesome too omg ok I’ll stop

How long have you had simblr?

- I’ve had this blog for six years but I had a blog prior to this since freshman year of high school (maybe earlier) but I deleted it because this person I knew, found out about it and started like pressuring me to show others and I was so freaking uncomfy 💀 Dawg she forced me to make her a simself ANYWAYS so prolly like ten years

How do you edit your pictures?

- It’s kinda simple, especially now that I have been learning how to utilize reshade. However, I like to add texture to my photos, maybe a transparent film border. I also like to add in shadows and highlights. Sometimes I’ll add soft/hard light or linear/color dodge. After that, I mess with the curves or exposure of a picture before finally sharpening and exporting the photo

I am now realizing this is a lot 😂

What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite?

- SIMS. 3. LATE. NIGHT. Bridgeport is EVERYTHING I love city worlds! 

I'm tagging @raiiny-bay @pleaseputnamehere @percosim​ and honestly anyone else my brain hurt

Azu is Talking - Just Another Week

It feels like a lazy week but only because I’ve been working really hard with outside world stuff and less with the online side (where, to be honest, it’s my whole life basically). And when I'm back, I need to decompress and let my body relax.

The relaxing part took me the rest of the week, but what can I do when my body is begging me for it?

I’ve decided to withdraw from my Monday class already, but I still scheduled to go to the photo place one last time. Welp, it was not possible. I woke up with an allergy. I spent the morning wearing the reaction down (after it goes through a certain threshold, there’s no going back—I have to ride it to the end), and after it ate up all my energy, I dragged my ragged self to the kitchen because I had to fix myself breakfast or it would just continue rolling south.

Instead of crashing and leaving me K.O., my body decided to change into energy-saving mode. I spent the rest of the day in bed. I’ve finished business with both the [REDACTED] adventure and the book I was reading (though I didn’t start the next one until half the week passed), so I figured I could just… rest and breathe.

Rest and Breathe seemed to be The Main Task™ of the week ‘cause on Tuesday my body went through another… episode, I guess.

I did go out. I was supposed to go accompanied, but while I was dressing, my sister bailed out on me and I had already put the effort into getting up and changing clothes, it would have been a waste to change back and get into bed again, so I decided to just roll with it.

I’ve never had tremors before. My hands tremble when I’m hungry, but I made a point of pausing to eat something before starting the whole adventure. I wasn’t hungry. And my hands weren’t the only ones trembling.

I can’t remember exactly when it started, but I was grateful on the bus to get a chair, and the ride in the subway was a challenge between my will to keep myself together versus my body on the brink of breaking down. Having jumped in the wrong direction line, going up and down two sets of stairs to get to the right platform had me praying and considering if I was capable of asking for help—my muscle legs were shaking so much I thought I was going to fall.

For your information: I am not. When I enter this state, I can only go forward by inertia, the only thing stopping me is reaching my destination.

I tried to. Call a person who was going down the stairs with me, but they ran down the stairs to avoid missing the subway that was already there. Seek the security police on this side of the platform, but that would have required me to let go of all my will busy keeping myself together. So I did not. I’d rather fall. I was so close to it.

But I miraculously reached the photo place and interaction seemed to snap me out of it. I still had leg tremors until I sat down, but I was scared for so long, I needed to destress nonetheless.

I downed a small cup of coffee in case I needed sugar and some water. And stayed until the passport site approved my photo. It just took two takes—that day. I rather not count how many photos total.

My mom insisted that I take an Uber, so I did that and went back home. Finally able to get to the next step in the process. No one wanted to help me choose the day to go leave my biometric data (signature and fingertips), so I scheduled it for the first hour the next day. A whole other adventure.

I didn't get to share it everywhere but my weekly, automatic, Iron Valley, Linney's Campaign post, the last one so far, was live this Tuesday.

On Wednesday, I left home with my mom at six thirty ‘cause she has to be at her job at seven. Or rather at eight, but if she wants a free ride with her sister—they work one next to the other—and avoid traffic, she has to be ready by then. And me with her.

I had to be in Passports at nine.

It gave me time to sit for an hour or so and I got comfortable enough I took off a little late. At the subway station, though, I noticed I didn't have my subway card with me. I remembered taking it out of my wallet the day prior and keeping it in an outside pocket of my handbag for easy access. I didn't need it ‘cause I went back in an Uber. And I never put it back. I didn't bring my handbag but my backpack. And if my mom wouldn't have given me some cash, I would have been short of money. It was supposed to be used for my breakfast, but welp. Stuff happens.

I bought a new subway card and I was so close to running the two blocks to Passport when I arrived at the station. No need, though, there was no one to hold me accountable.

The attention was stressful for a hard-of-hearing person. The people welcoming and directing me were impatient and rude. The areas were so noisy. I was glad the receptionist only made me one expected question because otherwise, I would have lost it. The staff helping inside was nice, or I was looking too close to lose it already. The people managing my biometric process, though… that was awful. I wasn't hearing a word because of the intensity of the noise and they weren't being expressive either. I was on the brink of tears from the frustration alone. We managed, somehow. And I needed three solid minutes before storming out to hold myself together.

Another step of the process done. One full week before returning to receive my passport. Finally. Next week I'll tell you how that certain adventure went.

I stayed in bed the rest of the day, until my partner and I’s ASL class. (We skipped a video without noticing, so now we're one week away from finishing the Essentials.)

On Backstage Thursday, I started the next book on schedule and, to be honest, I'm not feeling it. I thought it was temporary, but I'm understanding the author's choices more than feeling entertained by them. I find small moments I like here and there, but overall, not my type. It's fine, we grow, totally normal. I want to end it just to close the chapter, but if I don't do it with nice emotions, I'll pass from the review. I want to help indie authors, but if I don't have nice things to say, I rather say nothing—not because a book is not for me I have to ruin someone else's experience.

I got to do my themed task though, which made me feel good cause it was the last one of the section and I can start a different one. Cheers for finishing long-term tasks 🥂

On Secret Friday, I made sure everything was ready for Monday, ‘cause the day finally came. My partner is having his birthday tomorrow and it's my first time celebrating it with him. I have a whole lot prepared (and had stressed myself so much trying to keep the schedule), but it's all about to come to life. Some stuff didn't work out, but that's part of life. I'm so excited, we're starting to celebrate today because he'll be gone for a few hours tomorrow and I don't want to miss a single thing. I just planned too much! Maybe I will hold back a bit next year.

I was still checking stuff and tuning everything for Monday on Saturday while getting more solo games to check out. I'm feeling so happy about it, I just hope to get enough time for all of it.

And so, that was my week.

I have the first level 5 English quiz next Thursday. The passport on Wednesday. A possible visit to an embassy to get a visa on the same day. Maybe I'll get an answer from the editor on the [REDACTED] adventure? We will see.

I have nothing against my weekly updates, but I may be writing too many themed posts about particular stuff and it may or may not become the norm in the future instead? Only one way to find out 😉

Part 2 Of Kira's Cardstravaganza... Readmore'd for dashboard preservations

Back to lobcorp OC moments, here we have Leo and a card that also features him. I forget if godgame already had a grinch's ultimatum card in it, but hopefully if there is Leo's Ultimatum isn't a mimic.

The icon for Repulsive is Miitopia goblin ham because, well, every single time i've played Miitopia, all my Miis have just hated goblin ham. They despised it.... so now Goblin Ham is a symbol of Grossnasty.

Xiao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The project moon incidence never stops!!!! the "i'm fire" thing was something a friend sent me while I streamed making this card to them. i thought it was hilarious. onto the card it went.

library of ruina is, fundamentally, preddy card game, isn't it? so translating things over wasn't as hard as it looks. The besties that have seen this card and know how to play godgame are both Ruinaheads, and they said that this card is preddy accurate all things considered. ...That being said, fitting all that text into a single card Sucks Ass. Thank goodness for rulesheets existing!

Speaking of project moon.......

This is another card I streamed making, and we both had no idea myo had a little tail until this card. I did know Savage Mode Myo has a little pawprint in her evade sprite though. I bought the artbook before... y'know. Limbus.

I accidentally made the clone weaker in one aspect compared to the original. Can you spot it? I didn't, at first, and now I'll have to remake one of these cards... at least I saved the sprites I made. I had to piece them together myself from the bits they're stored as, see.

...PIECED TOGETHER FROM BITS, YOU SAY! Great segue into the next card... MY MAN BUTTER!

Back in the day, Butter was hot shit. Dullahan moment, if you will. When I had a blog for my lobcorp OCs, Butter was everywhere. I think I held a popularity poll via Strawpoll and he won. ...But that's besides the point.

The point is: Butter is very hard to put down. Well, probably. Admittedly there are so many cards, especially in the Viewer Expansion, that I've never naturally see one of my own cards even once in any game they've been in... I guess the solution is just to make more cards.

OH! COMBO MEAL NICHE INTERESTS!!! Permit me to be not humble for a bit, as a joke and confidence booster: I am the only Len'en enjoyer on this planet, and my autistic machismo is through the darned roof, so ultimately, I am the only one who can make good Len'en cards for Godgame. OK, back to being humble again.

The titles were taken from the unofficial english translation patch, by the way. And I managed to figure out how to crack Len'en 4 open for the other assets you see here.

and speaking of that, there's this card. Visually it does not resemble anything Len'en-like at all. The actual effects are pretty game-accurate, though. Len'en 4 is a roguelike danmaku game before it was cool, and the Giant Sudden Upset stage event makes it so shooting smallfry makes your power go down... but midbosses give a massive power reward if you can nohit them.

I completely lost all the Len'en assets I had that weren't talksprites, spellcard backgrounds, and bullets. So I had to improvise when making an image, you see...

Dont ask me why I put that smug Clause there.

Oh! My little mascot, the Wabbit, also has a card! This is based on its effects as an Abnormality in the mockup I made for that concept. ...That said, I might need to twiddle the words around because in games with more than 2 players that doesn't really do much, but still.

It's also got a little pixel art in it, too. I love its sad, wet eyes.

This one's my Jiji plush! Little man likes to travel, so his Godgame card involves him traveling around the board. This is an actual photo of him my mom took while she was on a trip.

Okay, one more card...!

Ari! Of course my favorite, Very First Lobcorp OC And An Iteration Of My Very First OC gets a card. They also get a unique background, too. Others will get unique backgrounds, too, but so far I've only really felt like it for Ari. ...The Elsewhere Residents only half count because they still have a standardized background, just one unique to them.

...This isn't ALL the cards I've made, but it's quite a lot of them. If I posted every single card I'd run outta stuff to say...

But there! As promised... Some Cards.

took a bit but that one post that i said "ten notes and i share my funy godgame cards" got the required notes. ideally i'd be reblogging said post and adding this under it but the boopometer is doing strange things to my dashboard right now.

To preserve everyone's dashboards because cards is big: READMORE! This dish contains a lot of spicy rambles of autistic machismo!

To get it all out of the way: none of these cards will enter the steam workshop. They're just funny cards for get togethers with the pals.

you will also find that i am super inconsistent with wordings and also forget important clarifications. but! that just makes the cards more fun. or less fun. it depends on how often the readers of the cards bicker, which in my case is never often. (i've only played with 2 friends thus far, but I have faith even still.)

i also cannot explain the mechanics of godgame. because.... there's a lot of mechanics. ...I mean, I can, but it's a lot of effort, especially when I don't physically have the board in front of me.

anyways here's our first card... one of my lobcorp OCs in fact!

Denny.... she's one of the originals. She's not as funky as everyone else so she doesnt see much sun nowadays but! I can count on her to be easy to make a card for at least. As the blurb says, she's not ALL hating birds. She, like, has a boyfriend. It's just very funny to play it up for the bit. (She also is easy to rile up.)

Side Note Number One... I have formats and shit. However I dont know and dont want to learn how to work photoshop. so it's all a bunch of pngs that i layer on top of one another individually rather than some sort of photoshop type thing.

this is about what it looks like. dont worry about what "overlay jewel office" means. i am not at liberty to explain jewel office because i didnt create it; i just invent the cards...

OK, card number 2!

sootpy. i drew Soot (another lobcorp OC) as peepy once. i was looking in my doodles folder for an image of another guy ive got in here and i found him. I fudged this card up in about 10 seconds not counting time spend actually putting the card together.

Actual Soot might function entirely differently from sootpy. i dont think the peanut part is capable of functioning.

Okie, next caaaaard...!

Memory Maggot! memory maggot's from my original universe type thing i call elsewhere; hence the unique background. It's a champion card, but since i'm biased and like making card backgrounds, cards from elsewhere get their own backgrounds.

originally this card had different (albeit not by much) art, but then I made my silly memory maggot pixel art and liked it better. memory maggot's a lot more than just memories, but i thought that idea for a card would be funny. and speaking of elsewhere champions...

this is the Everywhen. he also lives in elsewhere. i designed him, but at the same time i don't hold full custody over him so to speak. he's goofy levels of busted, yes, but I think Champions are allowed to be just a little bit like that. For fun.

I don't only make cards of my own OCs, though!

Example: these are the 01-kun, they're from yume 2kki. They don't actually have any of these abilities ingame, but I think I'm allowed to fudge things up a little bit when it comes to these sorts of things. Plus... it makes for a funny archetype.

Yes. The status icon for gay is dr pepper gay icon. I made that myself, actually. In the past I made a whole bunch of just. Dr pepper pride logos for some reason when I made drinking the stuff by the gallon my whole personality... I still have them, and I figured "why let them go to waste?"

This is Pupula-toru, also from Yume 2kki. This one actually has some basis in how the little guy appears ingame. Even if it is a little complicated for a basic card...

See, in yume 2kki, there's this thing called Variable 44. One of the easiest ways to check the status of this variable is to visit Pupula-Toru, as they're not too far in the dreamworlds. They'll be in one of 4 different poses depending on the variable, and two of them are asleep. Variable 44 is what changes other different forms of per-dream RNG, so knowing it is pretty useful for looking for certain things. Therefore, checking on Pupula-toru has a slight rng-manipulation association in my head, hence how it works.

...Well, errors are popping up when I try to post more images, so now I think I'll just make a reblog chain, or more posts and I'll add them to this one later. There's way more cards I wanna show off..........

Have fashion trends been popularized or created by sex workers?

Hi, this is a great question but a very difficult one to answer because this happened way too often in Chinese fashion history but is also difficult to prove. I will list some instances of this from the Qing and 20th century that I came across in my readings. Sorry it took so long for me to answer, I tried to find as many examples as I could but it’s very hard :(

In my review for the costumes in The World of Suzie Wong, @d-m-a-c mentioned that the cheongsam in that movie were inspired by those worn by sex workers at the time. I wasn’t sure exactly how sex workers’ cheongsam stood out from average cheongsam, but I guess the popularity of that film and the costumes in it partially owe themselves to sex worker fashion.

Source here

There are a couple entries relating to fashion trends popularized by sex workers from the 1910s collection of Qing Dynasty accounts 清稗类钞 compiled by 徐珂 Xu Ke. This probably isn’t the most reliable source since it was written after the end of the Qing and frequently featured rumors and unverified stories, but I think it would be interesting to read. The translations are my own and not the most robust, just so that you understand the gist of the texts.

《沪妓之服饰》

同、光之交，上海青楼中人之衣饰，岁易新式，靓妆倩服，悉随时尚。而妓家花样翻新，或有半效粤妆者。出局时，怀中皆有极小银镜，观剧侑酒，随置座隅，修容饰貌，虽至醉，亦不云鬟斜軃宝髻半偏也。至光、宣间，则更奇诡万状，衣之长及腰而已。身若束薪，袖短露肘，盖欲以标新领异，取悦于狎客耳。而风尚所趋，良家妇女无不尤而效之，未几，且及于内地矣。

又有戴西式之猎帽，披西式之大衣者，皆泰西男子所服者也。徒步而行，杂稠人中，几不辨其为女矣。

Clothing of Shanghainese sex workers

In the transitional years between the Tongzhi (1861-75) and Guangxu (1875-1908) eras, fashion among the Shanghainese courtesans changed rapidly; all the beautiful clothes followed the latest trends. The prostitutes, on the other hand, came up with new modes or followed Cantonese fashion to a certain extent. During outings in the theater, they would hold these tiny glasses and wear heavy makeup. Even after drinking their hair wouldn’t become the least bit disheveled. In the Guangxu and Xuantong (1908-1912) eras their attires became more bizarre, with robes that reached just the waist. Their clothes were tight and the sleeves showed the elbows, using these strange trends to attract customers. Once the trends solidified, respectable women imitated them religiously; soon, the inland would follow suit.

There were also some who wore Western coats and hunting hats, dressed like French men. They walked by foot and mingled with the crowds, making it difficult to tell that they were women.

The phenomenon of sex workers wearing menswear is corroborated in another account from the same book.

《妓效男装》

光、宣间，沪上䘕衏中人竞效男装，且有翻穿干尖皮袍者。然《路史．后纪》云：「帝履癸伐蒙山，得妹嬉焉。一笑百媚，而色厉少融，反而男行，弁服带剑。」此女子男装之初祖也。

Prostitutes wearing men’s clothes

In the Guangxu and Xuantong eras, the sex workers of Shanghai often wore menswear, some even sporting fur trimmed coats (not sure what 干尖 describes). (A quote from an historical text I can’t understand) This was the origin of women wearing men’s clothes.

Some more about shoes:

《秦淮妓女之方头鞋》

乾隆末叶，秦淮妓院之衣裳妆束，以苏为式，而彩裾广袖，兼效维扬。惟用睡鞋者颇少，咸以素帛制为小袜，似膝袴而有底，上以锦带系之，能使双缠不露，且竟夕不松脱也。其履地用方头鞋，如童子履而无后跟，即古靸鞋遗制，今之拖鞋也。灯影下曳之以行，亦复彳亍有致。

Square toed shoes of Qinhuai prostitutes

At the end of the Qianlong era, brothels in the Qinhuai region (around Nanjing) followed Suzhou fashions, with colorful collar trims and wide sleeves. Sleeping slippers were seldom worn; instead, plain silk cloths were used to make socks that were shaped like breeches but closed at the bottom. Once tied with a ribbon at the top, they concealed the feet and wouldn’t loosen even in the evening. Their shoes were square toed and without heels like children’s shoes. A relic of historical flat pumps, worn as slippers nowadays. 

《沪妓所著画屧》

同、光间，沪妓所著画屧，镂空其底，中作抽屉，杂以尘香，围以雕纹，和以兰麝，凌波微步，罗韈皆芳。或有置以金铃者，隔帘未至，清韵先闻。且又有���男子履者，绣以蝴蝶，虽镂金错采，制作精工，而行步则绝无婀娜之致矣。

Painted shoes of Shanghai prostitutes

In the Tongzhi and Guangxu eras, the prostitutes of Shanghai wore painted shoes. The soles were hollow and contained drawers, which were carved and filled with aromas. Some attached bells, whose clangs were heard before the person was seen. Some wore men’s shoes and embroidered them with butterflies; although they were gilded and immaculately made, walking with them was not particularly elegant.

I have read some theories about how the 1910s and 20s 文明新装 aoqun was invented or at least popularized by sex workers pretending to be students, but I have no proof. Some people also say that cheongsam was invented by sex workers, which isn’t supported by real evidence and could potentially be a misunderstanding due to the many hyper sexualized versions of the cheongsam floating about nowadays. However I wouldn’t really be surprised if it were true, since sex workers were usually very innovative when it comes to fashion.

1916 photograph of girls in uniform, first from the right is Lin Huiyin icon and one of China’s first professionally trained architects. By the way I don’t know why idiots on the internet call this photo 1920s the clothes are so obviously 1910s.

Oh and I know of something that wasn’t popularized by the sex worker herself but rather the movie adaptation of her story. 小凤仙 Xiaofengxian was a prostitute in the 1910s who apparently helped one of her suitors, a famous general, escape Beijing, and the heavily embellished story was turned into a popular movie source material. In the 1953 movie adaptation of her story, the lead actress 李丽华 Li Lihua was given an updated, fashionable New Look version of the aoku (robe and pants) outfit Xiaofengxian wore in real life, and the style blew up overnight. Eventually it became so popular that some people mistake it for a traditional wedding ensemble, whereas in reality it was the 1950s take on a normal 1910s outfit worn by a prostitute...

Allegedly a photograph of Xiaofengxian from the 1910s.

Li Lihua as Xiaofengxian in the 1953 movie of the same name. You can see that the robe is a lot more tailored and hourglass than the 1910s original.

Taobao search result for “凤仙装” (Fengxian attire). A lot of things have changed in the popular perception... The pants became a skirt and the tall ingot collar is worn folded, but the namesake of this type of clothing is still a sex worker :3

I couldn’t find any more at the moment if anyone has more info please add to this post!

♡ prompt: a baby appears into your timeline to reveal an unexpected surprise.

♡ pairing: Bart Allen (Impulse) x fem reader

♡ note: not checked for grammar or spelling mistakes / for OBVIOUS reasons, it’s altered when it comes to the canon universe because we all know legitimate canon wouldn’t work for this....pain. also!! please if any of you are interested in more characters with prompt, let me know!! 

both you and Bart weren’t together. not in the slightest. at the very least, both of you had flirted with each other, PLAYFULLY and all things considered, Bart liked to talk to girls when he had the chance. he was very much like Wally in that sense. 

since you weren’t exactly the type to try to flirt with every person with a pulse like Bart did, you really only playfully ‘flirted’ with Jaime, Gar, and sometimes Robin when you were feeling extra confident. 

the lair was extra dead tonight with only you, Bart, and Gar sitting down and watching whatever was on TV. you had you legs kicked up on Gar as Bart was reaching over to your lap to grab the popcorn that you were holding. 

“the lair being this dead seems unnaturally calm,” you told the two boys. they nodded in agreement but before you could even take another breathe, all of your eyes were averted to the large blue orb that was suddenly in the room. Bart grabbed his gear from behind the couch and Gar immediately transformed. you grabbed the pocket knife from your pocket and held it in a very similar Michael Meyers pose, “what the hell is happening,” you heard Gar whisper. 

as all of you were ready to attack, all of you saw a baby, no older than ten months pop out. your instincts immediately jumped to grab the infant before it fell on the ground. you looked to the boys with wide eyes before staring back down to the baby, “oh, hi baby,” you whispered as it let out a cry. 

“that’s a baby!” Gar screamed, not knowing what to do. both you and Bart looked at him like he was an idiot, “of course it is! what else would it be?” you retorted, not in the mood to hear his slight stupidity while a child was wailing. 

you grabbed the blanket you were using a while ago and wrapped it around her like your sister had taught you. having a niece you guessed at its perks as the baby immediately calmed down, “call someone!” you whispered to the two, “Nightwing, Megan, fucking hell, even the Bat if you can!” 

both Gar and Bart ran to the nearest COMM link and rang for anyone in the Justice League or your leaders. as Gar was standing behind you, admiring the tiny baby, he looked at her before looking at you and Bart, “huh, she kinda looks like if she was some kind of combination of the two of you,” Gar said off-handedly. 

you and Bart looked at each other before laughing hysterically. a kid? with Bart no less? that sounded like some kind of joke if you’ve ever heard one. Bart sat down next to you and peeked at the hair, “he does have that Allen red hair though,” you stared at him before smacking the back of his head. 

it didn’t take long before Nightwing, Robin, and Batman ran into the lair. whatever distress signal Gar or Bart let out must’ve worked because you had never saw any of the three get here as fast as they just did. you looked to Nightwing and Batman while showing them the sleeping baby. 

“the three of us were just watching a movie when a blue orb came literally out of nowhere and the baby popped out. we swear we didn’t do ANYTHING,” you explained through nervousness. Batman hummed, seeing how calm the baby was, “kinda looks like the two of you,” Nightwing said out of curiosity. 

“THAT’S WHAT I SAID!” Gar yelled, “it has her hair but Bart’s hair color.” you sighed out of annoyance as Nightwing agreed. Batman on the other hand looked at you and back to Bart who was eerily quiet for someone who talked A LOT. 

he gave Dick a look as if the two of communicating telepathically. on instant, Dick looked to the three of you, “what did we say about leaving stray cups around,” Nightwing told the three of you. you sighed, “sorry, we didn’t have time to pick up,” you said grabbing your pink Solo cup and tossing it in the trash. 

“we’ll see what we can do to get the child back where it belongs,” Batman said giving you a look, “the baby hasn’t given you any trouble, right? come with me and bring the child. we can run a DNA sample and see if he has any connections to any of the members whether it’s in the league or among the team,” he asked. 

discreetly, Tim had gotten a cotton swab and took the spit from the residue on the solo cup and put it in his small pocket before following all of you. you felt the baby stir in your arms and as she opened her eyes, you smiled down at it. you had no idea where these maternal instincts came from but oddly enough, you had this mother bear protectiveness over her. 

you waited for something that had to be brought by Nightwing to the lair and during that time, you played with the baby, who Bart decided to call Autumn for the time being. Nightwing came back a bit later and gave whatever he brought to Nightwing as he watched you and Bart play with the girl. 

while the two of you wanted to hand the baby over to Gar, Megan, Zatanna, hell even Robin, she immediately refused and let out a blaring cry whenever you or Bart let her go. everyone immediately handed her back to you or Bart as soon as she started crying and almost as quickly as she started crying, she stopped when you or Bart held her. 

“do you think I can go feed her? she’s probably hungry,” you told Nightwing. he nodded as you got up with the baby and grabbed her by the arms, holding them high in the air so she could use her legs to walk without falling, “she seems like a great mom,” Nightwing said. 

without a thought or even a second heart beat, Bart nodded in agreement as he watched you walk out. Bart wanted to follow you but didn’t want to seem like he was overwhelming you so he stayed with the Bats and Gar. 

not even realizing, he had fallen asleep against the wall as DNA results pinged up on Tim’s screen. the baby had the closest match to your DNA and using the spit from the previous DNA testing Bart had done on Bart, both of your photos showed up as the parents. Tim got Dick’s and Bruce’s attention without trying to make a scene. 

Dick laughed because of course the two of you were the parents. no wonder Autumn didn’t want anyone to hold her except for the two of you. as Dick looked down to look at Bart, he saw that he had finally woken up. Tim signaled that he was in the kitchen, trying to make Autumn laugh. 

“ironic how that works out,” Gar said. Nightwing and Batman agreed as he told Nightwing to be the one to break the news to the two of you. Gar wanted to hear what you both said when he told you and Tim tagged along as a result. 

as they all entered the kitchen, they heard ‘Killer Queen’ by Queen playing from your phone as you and Bart were playing with Autumn. “hey, did the results come back? I bet 50 bucks it was Megan’s and Connor’s!” you said. 

Nightwing handed you the papers in a manila folder. you couldn’t help but laugh at how eerily reminiscent this was to a Maury TV show segment. you opened the folder to see your team photo right along Barts as the arrows pointed to the Autumn. 

out of sheer shock, you dropped the folder on the floor as you felt like the wind was knocked out of you. Bart looked at the ground to see what the results were but he, unlike you, laughed. you had given Nightwing the baby to hold before grabbing the folder. 

“congrats?” Gar said awkwardly, “you’re parents!” 

before you could respond to his witty comments, you saw the same blue orb enter the lair again. you stared at the orb as two people walked out, arguing with each other at the top of their lungs. you grabbed the baby from Nightwing and held it tightly against your chest as Bart went into defense mode and jumped in front of the two of you. 

“i think it’s the two of you from the future,” Robin said as eerily similar version of the two of you walked into view. future you immediately sighed in relief as she saw you holding the baby, “so she did get sent to the past,” future you said. 

you looked yourself, “so, I’m assuming bird boy here did his little magic and figured out both of you were the parents?” you said. you nodded as older Bart chuckled and stood next to his younger self, “how did we get together?” he asked himself. 

“what’s the date?” he asked. Nightwing gave him the date and Bart laughed, “you’ll see in a few weeks actually. word of advice, don’t piss her off while she’s pregnant. I learned this the hard way,” Bart warned. older you smiled at you as you stood next to Bart, “we gotta go back to our timeline. the twins are killing me and she’s getting restless,” you said. 

“TWINS?” all of you screamed at the sudden confession. older you smacked yourself as Bart warned you about spoilers, “twins....” you murmured to yourself as your older versions walked back into the orb and waved all of you off. 

Nightwing had told Gar and Tim to leave the two of you alone so you could process what you had just found out. you looked too Bart who was scratching the back of his head, “we have kids together, huh?” you told Bart, “three kids at that,” he replied. 

you gave Bart a smile, “whenever you’re done flirting with every girl on the planet, you know where you can find me,” you told him, giving Bart a wink before walking back into the kitchen, “no fair! you flirt with Jaime all the time!” he retorted as he walked into the kitchen.

Draco Malfoy x Fem. Reader

Warnings: Sexual implications (a lottttt of them)

A/N: I might do a part two to this...

Word Count: 1,635

“Like them? I love them.”

__

You watched with anticipation as Draco popped another one of the Bertie Botts Flavour Beans into his mouth. His sculpted jaw moved up and down as he chewed. His eyes suddenly shut tightly and his face contorted into disgust. You leaned forward a tad, curious to see what mystery flavor he had picked. He swallowed hard and coughed at the foul taste.

“Soap.” He sputtered, reaching for the glass of water on his bedside table.

You bursted into laughter, laughing even harder at the way he brought a hand to his chest as the taste dissipated from his tongue. He grinned at you from over the rim of his glass, taking another sip.

“Your turn.” He said. 

This was a game of sorts that you and Draco liked to play whenever the two of you made a trip to Hogsmeade. Honeydukes Sweets Shop was your absolute favorite place to go and make pleasurable purchases. There were endless rows of candies and other tooth rotting snacks that were your ultimate guilty pleasure. 

You were always sure to snag a new box of Bertie Botts Flavour Beans. You and Draco would sit in his private, prefect room and take turns selecting a bean and seeing which flavor you were bestowed with. You were snug in one of his Quidditch jumpers, your legs wrapped around his waist while the two of you sat on his bed. 

Draco was always less fortunate than you during this game.

You took a bean into your hand, taking a breath when you put it in your mouth. Your tense shoulders relaxed when you started chewing. A delicious, fruity taste flooded your tastebuds, a cheeky grin appearing on your face. Draco threw his head back in exasperation at the sight of you getting yet another good flavor.

“Again?” He asked.

You nodded.

“Cherry.” You smiled, swallowing the small candy.

Draco’s blonde eyebrows raised, a devious look crossing over his face. His hands rested on your thighs that were secured around him, leaning forward.

“Mmm. Do you mind sharing?” He smirked.

You hummed affirmatively, capturing his lips in a hot kiss. His tongue danced with yours, tasting your familiarity and the traces of cherry candy. His hands went to the side of your neck to bring you closer, while you gripped at the collar of his sweater. His kisses muffled your girly giggles, a chuckle vibrating out from his own chest. 

You tapped his shoulder to pause your make out session, a mumble of realization sounding out from your throat. He whined when you stopped kissing him, but based on the bright look on your face, you had something in mind. 

“I have something for you.” You announced in a playful way.

His gray eyes darkened a touch, his fingertips drumming on the skin of your leg. 

“Is that so?” He questioned, making guesses already in his head.

You were giddy with joy as you scrambled from his array of blankets and his comforter. You reached into your backpack, pulling out a solid black book with a red bow on it. It was a rather large book, about the size of his Care of Magical Creatures textbook. Draco felt a quick surge of panic. He was the worst about remembering holidays and birthdays, and he instantly thought that maybe he had forgotten something special.

“Don’t get mad if I have, but...did I miss something?” He asked.

You let out a snicker as you rejoined him on the bed. Ever since he had forgotten your birthday a few months ago, now he was always afraid he was going to miss something else. 

“You haven’t. This is just something I’ve been working on.” You bubbled up gleefully.

You set the book on his lap, watching as his eyes raked over the cover. He felt a warmth in his chest at being given a gift just because you cared. He pushed the bow off of the sides of the book, opening the cover to see a little note you had written for him, signed at the end with your name and everything. The thick pages indicated to him that it was a picture album. 

He turned to the first page, an unmistakable smile of jubilation appeared on his face. The first two pages each had four Polaroid like pictures secured evenly. You were smiling happily in each of the first several photos, wearing different outfits and in different locations. Draco’s heart was beating with exuberance in his chest as he looked through the first couple of pages. 

“Oh, darling. These are great,” He praised; “They’re positively stunning. They-” 

His sentence was cut short when he got about halfway through the pages, his voice getting caught in his throat when the pictures immediately took on a new theme. His smile faded into a shocked, slight jaw drop. The second half of the book was filled with sultry, boudoir style photos. His fingertips trailed over one in particular where you were wearing your school robes, but the only thing you were wearing underneath was one of Draco’s Slytherin uniform ties settled between your breasts. 

In other photos, you were wearing different sets of lingerie. There was one lacy, black colored set that almost made him faint right then and there. 

He was knocked speechless, unable to string together a single sentence. You were beginning to feel a little self conscious, and even a bit embarrassed that maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. You had honestly expected him to completely attack you with feverish kisses or fuck you right then and there. The fact that he was completely silent was unsettling.

You fiddled with your hands in your lap, uncertainty in your tone as you spoke up to break the silence.

“I...do you like them?” You wondered, hoping to get a positive reaction.

Draco’s eyes never left the book. He turned to the next page, a rush of arousal flushing over him at one in particular where you were completely naked, stretched out on his bed and giving a look so seductive that it made Draco’s belly flutter. The sight of you naked on his bed...it was hot.

“Oh, baby. Darling, my love...” He breathed out, trying to complete at least one full thought; “Like them? I love them.” He almost growled.

You exhaled a breath of relief, feeling a sense of excitement as he continued to rake over them. He turned to a new set of pictures, a hot blush creeping onto his cheeks.

“You’re so stunning...so sexy.” He purred.

You laughed shyly, a bashful smile washing on your face. You rubbed his knee, your hand feeling like electricity on him. He couldn’t look away from the scandalous photos, each one becoming more dirty than the last. He was riled up and he was already looking forward to having this book at his disposal.

“Who took these?” He pondered, wondering which one of your lucky girl friends had the pleasure of seeing you actually model these outfits and strip down naked.

You just had to take advantage of this moment. You couldn’t help but mess with him just a little bit. You choked down the chuckle that would surely give you away.

“Potter.” You lied.

Draco’s head snapped up so fast and his eyes filled with an indescribable look of hot jealousy. He chest tightened, but relaxed when he realized you were kidding based off of your burst of laughter. He sighed harshly and rubbed his forehead as you laughed at his intense reaction. The thought of you asking Harry Potter to take these photos for you filled him with such a rage, but he even laughed it off when he knew you were joking.

“That’s not funny.” He said pointing a finger at you, and continuing to go through the photos.

Your giggles died off, and you answered him honestly.

“Pansy took them. That’s how I was able to sneak in here when you weren’t here.” You explained.

Draco nodded, his jaw still slightly ajar as he loomed over them. You patiently waited as he finished looking through them, his pupils dilating more and more by the minute. He closed the book once he was finished, his eyes finally flickering up to you. He had grown a very prevalent erection, and his eyes were filled with an intense amount of lust. You knew one thing for sure.

He was going to rock your world tonight.

Over the last year or so of dating you, he tried not to be so aggressive when it came to your sex life. He tried not to pounce on you every time he felt turned on. He knew that sex was supposed to be the ultimate romantic connection, and not always supposed to be rushed. After those pictures though, he wanted you BAD. You could tell he was antsy, waiting (and also praying) for you to give him the okay. 

You leaned in, your lips just barely brushing over his, before you brought your lips to his ear. You purposely let out a wanton moan in his ear, a tantalizing sound to your voice.

“Touch me, Draco. I know you want me.” 

In a millisecond, Draco was on you. He kissed you roughly and pushed you down onto his mattress. He kept your hands pinned above your head, leaving open mouthed kisses on your neck as he intentionally drew the most wonderful sounds out of you. 

“What are the chances of you wearing one of those hot little outfits under this jumper?” He said in a steamy voice.

You squirmed against his hands, but to no avail. You rolled your hips into his, trying to create some friction. You threw him a wink, your response sending him into full fuck mode.

“Why don’t you find out?”

[cosmicdreamt]

To Be Beautiful

“UGH honestly it’s kind of embarrassing.”

Her eyes aren’t looking at you but you know you’re who she was talking to. Instead furrowed brows and pursed lips were focused on the image of her on her phone screen that the two of you were just discussing.

Neff never expected pictures of her to end up in recommended page, and while she knows it’s based on who you follow and things like that it was still weird to know that her face was out there for display.

“Fenn, my friend who took these - I’m sure I’ve mentioned him a few times. We went to college together. I went for art and he went for photography. And for some reason I became one of his favorite subjects to photograph.” Her voice is....strange. She’s fighting awkwardness about herself and affection for the person she’s talking about. “He really does have a beautiful eye for the lens. The photos he takes are truly breathtaking. The landscapes and candids are something you never thought you could feel so strongly about. We’d be walking along outside and he’d just go ‘hold on I gotta get this shot’.” Ah, she got more lively imitating him for that, smiling and letting out a soft laugh. “And it didn’t take him long either. A lot of photographers I feel focus on finding the perfect shot. What looks the most aesthetically pleasing. But Fenn? He focused on the moment, on what it made you feel when you looked at something. It’s why we got along so well.”

Finally does she tap on the account to bring up all his other photos, scrolling through to show you what she meant. There were quite a few pictures of her scattered about that made her huff, but she obtains the courage to talk about it.

“He’s told me before that I just have this air about me. That sometimes you know exactly what’s on my mind by looking at me and other times I’m a mystery. That I’m someone hard to ignore when you see me...” She takes a big deep breath and huffs it out, feeling her face get warm as she says that last bit. “I don’t really think I’m beautiful, you know? I used to hate myself but now it’s more like....I think I’m alright but nothing special. I don’t think I’m breathtaking or eye catching or any of those things. But he was determined to make me believe otherwise. In school he’d always ask me to be his mode for assignments, so there’s pics of me with crazy makeup or a very specific type of photoshoot. But after we graduated there were days where he’d just...ask me if we could go out and he take photos of me going about me day. I’d say sure and that’s where a lot of these other ones come from. It’s...weird. To see me in what he describes is my essence. I guess because it’s a bit hard to believe that it’s me. I look at this person and I’m not sure what to feel...but what’s interesting is none of them are bad feelings.”

The phone is taken back, exiting the app and finally looking up at you. She shrugs a single shoulder and smiles awkwardly with a shake of her head.

“I dunno. I guess seeing myself in the same way other people would...shows me how beautiful things could look. Even if it’s me.”

Raihan x Journalist![F] Reader PT 2

The next day you gave your editor the heads up about your Raihan scoop! (leaving out the deal you made with the gym leader.) needless to say they were looking forward to the story, but first you needed to get those pictures! You checked around Raihan's Combee account to see where he usually hangs around on his days off or after battles, The are very high chances that you'll catch Raihan and his mystery girlfriend in one of these places, three weeks passed still no sight of her or any females near the dragon gym leader, save for his cousin and a few bold fans...

You had a false alarm the other day, you saw Raihan posing with a busty blonde arm around her waist, on instinct you snapped photo without them noticing until you noticed the group of screech girls nearby and blondie take off towards them like a rattata on coffee; giggling all the way, it was then did you realize it was just a fan girl taking an obligatory selfie for her club, you saw Raihan step out of the pub probably to get away from his fans for a tick.

You groaned in disappointment decided to finish your drink and leave, you deleted the photo about to leave when your ringtone went off. "Hello?" you heard a familiar chuckle as Raihan's voice filled your ears. "So I was right you are here." Your shoulders stiffened and looked around the pub, from where you were sitting you could see Raihan but you were sure he couldn't see you. "I don't know-" he sucked his teeth.

"There you go playing coy again... I can hear the music in the pub lass." your face felt hot you had your earbuds in to cancel out the noise so you could concentrate, you didn't even know what was playing in the bar, until you heard the background noise in Raihan's call and took out one of your buds to confirm what he was hearing was what you were hearing, and winced at the loud techno mix ringing in your ear, and got up to go to the bathroom where the music was muffled.

"So how'd you figure out I was here?" 

" We got a wager remember? figured you'd be sticking around me like a Joltik on a Yamper's hide...are you ready to give up?"

"No, far from it really." you huffed Raihan chuckled obviously enjoying your frustration about this whole situation, getting one photo of a couple shouldn't be this hard! he must've let his girlfriend in on the bet maybe that's why she's not showing herself in public or maybe she's one of his gym trainers? A boss dating their employee, you could see how problematic that could be. "So what kind of person is she?" you asked ignoring the stares from the other women entering and leaving the restroom. 

"Who?"

"Your girlfriend. Is she shy or something? I mean most girls I've seen would be climbing over themselves just to have a chance with you."

"But not you, eh?" that threw you off a little. "Excuse me?" Apparently Raihan realized what he had said. "Just ignore that! To answer your earlier question, yeah she's shy. I guess, not really the attention seeking type get me?" you nodded understanding him completely, recalling somethings from your old life back Hoenn. "Yeah I get you... too much publicity can be a nightmare." you could sense Raihan cocking a brow.

"Speaking from experience?" That pulled you back into professional mode. "Sorry, but if your not f*cking me, feeding me or putting a roof over my head, then my personal life is really none of your business." you huffed as a random drunk woman gave you thumbs up.

 You giggled when you heard Raihan choke on his drink. "th-that's good *wheeze* very good comeback!" he coughed as you smirked before looking down at your watch. "Hey I gotta go now, it's about time to feed my Pokémon and I got some other projects to touch up on, talk you later!" You heard I Raihan tell you to wait, but you hung up on him.

You left the bathroom and walked out the backdoor and circled around just in time to see Raihan rush back into the pub possibly to catch you before you left of course you were already long gone you felt a little bad leaving without a proper meeting but...Duty calls.

this might be a weird thought but the way jensen performs masculinity (and i KNOW it’s a performance cause like, have you SEEN the mockumentary?) is just.... so inherently queer to me lmao

ok. okokokokokok. you asked for this. i have a LOT of thoughts on this. it’s gonna be under a cut because i’m gonna be annoying and psychoanalyse a celebrity i’ve never met(and hope i never do) but trust and believe when i tell you i know what i’m talking about so

you want my opinion? here goes. there is absolutely no way jensen ackles is straight. i hear you, ‘how do you know that he’s bi? that’s invasive and creepy’ but may i counter that point by saying how do you know he’s straight???? why is the default for everyone heterosexual? that’s a toxic mentality to have; ‘oh you don’t know for sure so just treat him like he’s 100% straight just in case’ like....what? heteronormativity drives me wild i’m sorry

and also, um, just to, um, prove my point that this man is decidedly not straight™(i really don’t want to do this but like it has to be said) we KNOW he’s not straight because his d*ck has spoken for itself around misha, like, four times. I HATE SAYING IT!!!!!!! but, um, straight men don’t get aroused by men. ...do i really need to explain myself further???? that’s what i thought(and don’t give me the ‘it could have been for unrelated reasons’ or ‘that wasn’t a boner!’ crap because um good lord yes it was and misha caused every single one so no it wasn’t a coincidence i’m gonna move on before i collapse into myself like a dying star)

anyway, on to the topic at hand which is jensen and his performative masculinity. and it’s a juicy one.

after the unconscious amount of hours i’ve put into watching and subconsciously judging jackles, i have come to the conclusion that like, 90% of how he presents himself and talks and even moves is an act. it’s a facade. it’s a shield. he is not that person. it actually seems exhausting, because he tries to compose himself in this macho, manly, confident and effortlessly cool way, but he’s not that person he desperately wishes he was and wants to be perceived as. he’s on guard every second, even the slightest tilt of his head is like, pre-meditated in some way? if i’m going FULL body language analyst mode, i’ve noticed he has a certain posture he always shifts himself into, and it’s very ‘pursed lips, stoic faced, gruff voiced, square-shoulder, broad and manly’ but, not to be rude jensen, it kind of reads as a little kid imitating the adults he thinks are cool? oof i am going IN huh(it’s out of love though i promise)

he is trying to be this person at every second:

because that’s who he wishes he was, because that’s how he gets validation from the people around him that he looks up to; straight white guys. but to me, who he presents himself to be at conventions is just as much of a performance as this whole eye of the tiger bit is.

oh i should mention i know his body language isn’t naturally like that because how he naturally carries himself is actually pretty flamboyant? like he seriously must be toning himself down HARD

examples:

there’s no tension in his body here as opposed to the eye of the tiger gif. i’d describe it as...generally loose and free? he’s at ease when he moves like that and you can see it.

oh and dude!!! DUDE!!!! how could i not mention the fucking SPECTACLE that is his voice??? jensen. i watched season one. i know where your voice naturally sits. THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE. and there have been so many accounts of fans visiting jensen in his trailer and being surprised that his real voice is two octaves higher. again, his performance of masculinity is all encompassing. he can’t even talk normally because, in his mind, that’s a chink in his armour.

and, like you said, anon, this whole smokes-and-mirrors gong show of ‘i am the cool texan man’ is inherently queer. who are you trying to impress??? guys??? that’s pretty gay dude.(btw: gay[honorary])

i feel like i’ve already read this man for filth but i have to keep going bc i have so much to say

ok next thing i’m gonna talk about is how jensen says one thing but everything else about him tells us the exact opposite. another HUGE element of performative masculinity, ONE THAT DEAN WINCHESTER IS A MASTER OF. have i mentioned how dean and jensen are like mirrors of each other when it comes to their sexuality and queer identity??? because it is fascinating how everything i say about jensen also directly applies to dean.

allow me to introduce the grumpy face™. as in, the face he glues on when he’s enjoying doing something but doesn’t want to let anyone know it. and it’s ALWAYS when he’s doing something that could be seen as unmanly in any way. (and when i say manly i mean the ‘ideal’ version of manhood that doesn’t really exist but that jensen seems to be striving for[and dean too])

prime example is this video he did with daneel. the grumpy face™ doesn’t budge the whole time as he’s like,,,,playing an instrument and acting like he doesn’t want to bc i guess that’s too girly??? but i also find this video fascinating because the joke IN it is kind of that they’re both poking fun at him for being so insecure about playing a freaking flute. because, i mean, he gets into it, but he wants you to think he is not.

also this picture.

what is this. i hate them. jensen is smushing himself into misha’s forehead but noooo his face is telling us ‘i hate this’ because CLEARLY he does. also misha’s so happy ew gross

he does that face in photo ops with misha ALL THE TIME but how many times has he also literally asked the con goers if he can also have those photos on his phone too? because of course he actually loves touching misha and is actually a sentimental fool but he tries so hard to hide it and fails so spectacularly.

oh and this. and of COURSE this. actually let’s talk about the hitch kiss for a hot minute because it’s a perfect example of exactly what i’m talking about

(he is so transparent guys. he tries so hard but he’s so obvious.)

1. misha was never supposed to be onstage with him. so it’s a boldface LIE and OBVIOUS PLOY TO GET MISHA TO KISS HIM when he says ‘they’d like us to make out now’. but of course the way he says it is ‘oh my god can you believe what these crazy panel people are making us do haha but i mean what they say goes amirite’. same energy as ‘oh my god did you just dare us to kiss rn???’ ‘....no i didn’t’ ‘oh my god i can’t believe you’d ask that haha but i can’t say no to a dare lol’ it’s the SAME THING

2. the fact that he was in the worst mood before misha came onstage and FAKE KISSING HIM made him feel...SO?? much better? like not just a little better a lot better like, again, that says a lot, because if they weren’t dating he would not be in a better mood if misha kissed his cheek unprompted. bc that cheek kiss wasn’t a joke it was a genuine sign of affection and AHHHH

3. after the kiss happens. you know, the one that jensen actively leans into and is smiling like an idiot the whole time through and is quite clearly having the time of his life during....he says ‘well, that was uncomfortable’. .......my guy. um. i don’t know how to tell you that i do in fact have eyes and you are NOT pulling the fast one you think you are

like i’m so sorry jensen but i have you pegged. it’s literally no use.

god there’s so many instances of him doing this with misha specifically. the whole ‘ew gross lol’ but then everything about him tells us the exact opposite. like this(i hate this. how dare he say ‘he has though, hasn’t he?’ LIKE THAT?????)

so yeah my point with that is he really wants us to think he is one thing when he is the antithesis of what he’s trying to be. he really likes those things that he talks down about, and everything he’s loudly projecting is all to hide how he really feels. he went to a gay bar with daneel, for crying out loud. he wants to play a role in drag. he’s queer and he likes it. pov: you’re jensen ackles train of thought: ‘ok so i really like this thing that people might make fun of me for or call me gay for liking so if i just say ‘lol as if’ and make a grossed-out face they will be FOOLED. i am a genius. hey misha wanna blow on my ear lol i meAN GROSS EW’

i have two more things i want to talk about when it comes to this topic so PLEASE bear with me anon this is why you took so long to answer clearly lmao

ok so we’re now going to go over my favorite hot take of all time. which is ‘how do we know dean’s performing masculinity? because sam isn’t.’ only replace dean with jensen and sam with jared and oh my god do we ever have a case

jared is as STRAIGHT as they come. he is secure in that knowledge. and that’s why he is perfectly comfortable treating misha like this:

and not try to scream ‘i am not enjoying doing this!!!!!!’ at us. because he doesn’t care what we think of his sexuality like jensen does(because he has nothing to hide whereas jensen DOES)

something i found the other day that no one has brought up but i SCREAMED upon finding it is this one clip THAT I CAN’T FIND OH GOD but i promise i’m not making it up. i can’t believe i can’t find it guys it is gold. i need need NEED to talk about it. and if anyone knows what i’m referencing and can apply links in any way i will love you forever but here’s what happens off the top of my head:

ok so i’m a bit too braindead to explain it perfectly but um basically it’s a j2 panel and someone brings up magic mike and i think jared says ‘yeah i didn’t watch it’ and then jensen says ‘all the way through’. stupid joke. whatever. the joke is that jared is gay for watching magic mike.

and then i literally kid you not. jared gets this like ‘jesus christ ok dude? lol’ look on his face and then goes ‘projecting much, mr. ackles?’ and jensen gets a guilty look on his face and walks away. and jared did not say it as a joke. he was being dead pan and earnest. and jensen knew it too, he knew he was projecting. i wish i could show you guys the clip i promise if i ever find it i’ll link it but IS THAT NOT SO DAMNING FOR JENSEN????? like come ON. also proves my point that when you compare how they feel about watching magic mike. jared doesn’t care bc watching it just doesn’t interest him, but he also thinks that just watching it in itself doesn’t make you gay. jensen however.......has a different mindset, clearly.

‘projecting much, mr. ackles?’ is actually a great title for my next and FINAL section(we’re almost there folks) which is how jensen projects his insecurites about his own sexuality and relationship with misha onto misha.

i hope by now we’ve all seen this video of jensen impersonating cas. it is a blatant microaggression on his part. and like obviously homophobic. it’s like in his mind if he makes fun of them for being gay it makes them both less gay somehow??? it’s self-deprecation in a way??? let’s just tell it like it is: that impression was just jensen’s overt internalized homophobia rearing it’s ugly head. he does it a LOT too when it comes to misha.

i mean:

and that whole mess where he’s making fun of misha for being a bottom in their panel in 2016? ‘so you’re saying, like with football terms, there’s a handler and there’s a receiver heheheehe’ jensen you’re not exempt from being gay just because you know football terms lmao

oh and his OTHER impression of misha where he mocks him for...bicycling...because it’s not a manly enough sport??? jensen NO ONE else has ever thought this hard in their lives about what constitutes as masculine enough to be a sport before. that’s all you bud. we don’t find those jokes nearly as funny as you do. you are reaching, sir

the good news is that misha thinks it’s hilarious and knows it’s projecting on jensen’s part and will tease him endlessly for it. many stories come to mind, like that one photo op story where they’re literally dressed in rainbow banners and pride stickers but when misha goes to hold his hand jensen said something like ‘no way’ and then misha stepped back, put his hands on his hips and went ‘that’s the part that’s too gay for you???’ and jensen LOST it

or when that whole underwear thing happened(messy messY MESSY BTW) and then a fan asked a question about what dean and cas would do in rome and misha just said ‘when in rome’ and jensen makes a face like ‘are you serious’ and then misha says ‘you can’t look at me like that anymore, because of what you did!!!!!!’

OH and that whole story about when misha suggested they put jensen in the closet for that cat video....yeah um

and then when jensen was asked to do bisexual finger guns for a photo op and the con goer said ‘he looks bisexual here’ and misha literally said ‘oh he definitely looks bisexual here. i would say he’s actually closer to the gay side of the spectrum’ so..um...make with that as you will

OH MY GOD i’m finally done. wow. WOW. that was a lot. i hope i’ve blown your minds. ty anon i really wanted to talk about this and i hope you’re happy with the outcome!!!!!!

BTS Reaction | Touchy With Each Other [Request]

A/N: Be aware that Jimin’s contents a small amount of smut in it!! Love you all 

Seokjin:

He always had to hold your hand, he always held your hand and if he wasn't it was either because he was away on tour, at work or you were trying to do your own thing but the moment you were together again his hands were interlocked with yours.

"You're always holding one another, don't you get sweaty?" Jimin joked when he walked into the dorm living room to see you holding hands while Jin talked to Namjoon about something - you hadn't been paying attention to them. You'd mostly been watching Jungkook playing his video game. 

"It's not too bad, watch this." You giggled taking your hand out of Jin's and leaving it on your own lap. Jin frowned and stopped talking to Namjoon halfway through his sentence so he could stare at you, then at your hand before putting your hand back in his and going back to his conversation. 

"Do it again," Jimin laughed sitting on the arm of the sofa, you giggled and removed your hand form Jin's once again but this time Jin went into full pout mode and acted as though he was some kind of child getting punished. 

"My hand." He mumbled taking your hand in his and placing it on his lap, locking your fingers together and making sure he had hold of you tight enough so you wouldn't just let go of him again. 

"Like a child." You giggled leaning over and giving him a kiss on the cheek, his ears turned a bright red colour as he suddenly had the boys all coo'ing him and squeezing his cheeks like a baby. 

"Little baby just loves attention." You jokingly cooed him and he blushed once again but never once let go of your hand even throughout the teasing.

Yoongi:

No one would even have even suspected a thing, he always came across as the type of boyfriend that wouldn't be clingy but he was the complete opposite whenever you were alone together. He would tangle himself up with you on the sofa if you were laying together but if you were just sitting he would make sure you were sitting as close to one another as possible. Even in the summer, he would make sure he could still feel your touch on his, you put it down to him being away for long periods of time that he just wanted to come home and relax with you and be close to you. 

"Hey Yoongi we're going to-" Jungkook stopped when he walked into the studio to find Yoongi laying behind you on the sofa, his head was tucked into your neck as he fell asleep laying there. 

"Did he not sleep last night?" You shook your head looking at Yoongi from the corner of your eye, 

"I wasn't here. I stayed with some friends and he can't sleep without me." You giggled looking at Jungkook, 

"What did you want him for?" You whispered and he thought back on what he had been saying before he walked into the room, 

"We're going for lunch, do you want to come?" You slowly went to lift Yoongi's arm from around your waist but he clamped his hands down and pulled you closer to his body. 

"Y/n isn't going anywhere. They're staying with me." You giggled as he snuggled closer to you once again and Jungkook left the room without a second glance. 

"You just outed yourself as the clingy boyfriend type," You teased but he yawned and kissed the base of your neck, 

"I'm your clingy boyfriend though, I don't care." With that, he fell right back to sleep again.

Hoseok:

You were used to Hoseok having his hands on you all of the time but not in a sexual way but he always had to be holding you in some kind of way, even when you were asleep and he was awake. You were asleep with your head laid on his lap at the dorms, you'd gone to spend time with the boys for your birthday and ended up falling asleep on Hoseok. His hands were playing with your hair while you softly snored next to him, and the boys watched in awe as he just played with your hair. Hoseok didn't even notice until one of the boys pointed it out to him and he stopped, but his hands found their way to yours and he began drawing small invisible patterns into your skin and you hummed in your sleep.

"You don't even know you're doing it, do you?" Jin asked laughing as Hoseok came back to earth from his daydream and looked at his hands. He'd been sitting there aimlessly playing with your fingers for ten minutes, you'd woken up and stared at him as he did it and it made the boys find it funnier. 

"He does it all the time, even when we're watching a movie. He'll randomly grab my fingers and play with them." You giggled sitting up and laying your head on Hoseok's shoulder, his face fell slightly as he thought you found it annoying but it was the opposite. You adored him doing it, it made you feel closer as a couple.

"I find it adorable though baby." You assured him leaving a soft kiss on his cheek as he blushed. 

"I never notice I'm doing it, it's like second nature to me by now." He laughed taking your hand in his and locking your fingers together.

Namjoon:

It didn't matter where you were or even who you were with Namjoon wanted you to sit on his lap, at home, at the studio, on tour and in the dorms. He didn't care. He wanted you as close to him as he could get you, you knew it was because he missed you so much when he was away and you didn't mind it - until it came to summer and you were dying in the heat waves. 

"You don't care that he does this to you?" Jimin questioned, he'd just walked into Namjoon's studio to you sitting in the cowgirl position, your legs hanging over the back of the chair while Namjoon faced his desk. 

"I think it's cute." You said as you looked up from your phone to see Jimin snapping a photo of you both. Namjoon had his earphones on so he hadn't even realised Jimin was in the room. 

"He does it a lot, he just wants us to be close." You giggled as Namjoon kissed your shoulder, 

"Plus I know that if I'm sat here no one else is." You joked and Jimin shook his head at you both. Namjoon took off his headphones and kissed your shoulder again but kissed up to your neck, 

"I need you baby," 

"J-Joonie." You stuttered through a giggle and he chuckled thinking it was his lips on your skin that was making you giggle so much, 

"I know I'm at work I'll just lock the door so none of the boys can come in." You rolled your eyes at Jimin who then cleared his throat, 

"One of them is already here, we were going to invite you to dinner...I guess you'll both be busy." Namjoon turned the chair around so your back was to Jimin, 

"Yeah, we'll be busy." He smirked laughing to himself as Jimin left the studio.

Jimin:

It had become a normal thing to fall asleep the way you did together almost every night but no one knew about it if they did they probably wouldn't find it as romantic as you and Jimin did. You'd caught Jimin reading up about it once and he explained everything to you, it was supposed to be a one-time thing but then it turned into more than that and you'd been doing it almost every night since - except when he was on tour or the boys were staying over. 

"Jimin please," You whispered, it was another heatwave day and you were dying, falling asleep next to him always happened but the heat was too much for your usual night.

"I need to feel you though," He whined and you whined back at him, you wanted him too but it too hot to do anything and having him that close and inside of you would have made you melt into the mattress within seconds. 

"Fine." You whispered getting out of the bed and turning the fan to face you both instead, 

"Fuck I love you," He grunted when you came back over to him and got down onto the bed, there was no denying that you were ready for him and he was ready for you. 

"F-Fuck." You hissed as he eased himself into you, his hand rested on your hip until you adjusted to his size, even after every night like this it was still hard for you. 

"Just relax baby," He kissed your neck and snuggled against you, with the fan facing you both it wasn't too hard to handle but it was still too hot for anything other than this. 

"Goodnight baby," He whispered into your ear as he felt your body relax around him as you drifted off to sleep.

Taehyung:

After being away from you on tour for so long he would come home and cuddle you, which was normal for most couples who would spend a length of time away from one another but with Taehyung it was different. He would cuddle you all day, every day. It didn't matter if you were cooking breakfast, he would stand behind you and hold you while you cooked. If you were brushing your teeth - he would stand behind you and hold you. He would do anything he could to feel you close to him after not being able to hold you for so long. He hated being away from you when he was on tour, he loved his job but he loved you more. 

"Tae, I need to go to work." You laughed as he clung onto you like a toddler who didn't want their parent to leave them behind at school. 

"You can't, I only got back last night and I haven't seen you in months." He was being overly dramatic as he always was, you'd spent the entire night before together. 

"You have jetlag, I'll only be gone for a couple of hours. You'll sleep the entire time." You tried to tell him but he still hadn't let go of your side, feeling defeated you sat down on the edge of the bed and let him snuggle against your hip. You played with his hair until you knew for a fact he was sleep, the little snores he gave out were the giveaway,

"I'll see you later baby." You whispered leaving a kiss on the top of his head before quickly and quietly leaving the bedroom and sprinting out of the front door before he could run up and grab you from behind. 

Jungkook:

It didn't matter that Jungkook had his attention on video games instead of you he still made sure he was holding you, even if it was just you sitting beside him he would make sure you were there - tonight was no different. He'd been excited about a new game patch and the moment he came in from the studio he was playing it, you walked in from work a couple of hours after and went for your usual shower and food and came to sit with him. He brushed your hair out of your face while he waited for the next round to start, questioned you on how your day was and kissed you until he counted down. 

"Lay your head down on my lap baby." You giggled and laid your head on his thigh watching proudly as your boyfriend killed everyone in the game with ease. He was an excellent player and he'd even tried to teach you a couple of times but it always ended in you given up and him just holding your hands over the buttons while he played but it wasn't just at home that he did this. Even when you were out driving together he would hold your hand in his while he changed gears, as if somehow by letting go of you would mean letting you go for good and end in your vanishing from the face of the earth and away from him. 

"He's in the top room on the left." You mumbled with a mouth full of marshmallows as you saw someone shot at Jungkook from somewhere on the map and he got them right away. 

"Teamwork is dream work!" He cheered leaning down and giving you a kiss.

Perfect Girl~ Wonho Oneshot

Warning: Suggestive, mention of dying?

Y/N POV

Word Count: 1591

Wonho x female reader

Disclaimer: The picture used is NOT MINE. I found it on instagram from the artist @bre.lexis. You guys should totally check out her art. It’s my favorite ambw art :).

A/N: I based this one shot based off a dream I had the other day. It felt so freaking real like I even felt the kiss and for some reason that only happens when I dream about him and I. Some scenes were added but this pretty much how my dream went. I wasn’t able to find a photo that matched how I imagined Wonho and a brown girl. In the dream he was literally the same size as he is now and he was wearing that orange shirt from is live the other day... Anyways I hope you all enjoy!

It was a rainy Friday night. You had just left your coworkers at the restaurant you guys went to to celebrate the assistant principals birthday. You called an Uber to get home. Normally you would walk but you weren't in the mood to be catching a cold. The ride home wasn't too long since you obviously lived close by.

When you arrived you thanked the driver and exited the vehicle quickly. However, no matter how fast you ran to the building you still ended up getting soaked. As if it couldn’t get any worse, the elevator in your complex wasn't working so you had to prolong your torture by taking the stairs. 

You finally reached your apartment and immediately took your shoes off and headed for your bathroom. You put your clothes on a drying rack over your toilet. You turned the water on to the hottest setting and got in. The warmth of the water was welcomed and washed away most of the stress you've been feeling with work. But stress from the absence of your boyfriend of 4 years didn't go away. It wasn't as if he was in some far away place where you couldn't see or contact him. No, the problem was he was so busy with his comeback that he did not have much time to call you much less visit you due to conflicting scheduling.

At first, you didn't have much of a problem with it since you knew how important his career was to him. But it has been two months and the separation was starting to get to you. Even though you knew you shouldn't complain being lucky enough to even have a man as sweet as him, you were only a human in need of the touch of her boyfriend.

After you got out the shower you put on some mango butter to attempt to smell good while moisturizing and let your curls fall freely. You grabbed a pair of grey sweatpants and put on the smallest sized hoodie Wonho owned. Being thankful he left this one behind since his others would've had you swimming in it.

You left your room and went to the kitchen to make a cup of calming jasmine tea (can you tell I've been watching atla alot hehehe). As the tea was boiling you gathered your students papers from your work bag and placed them on your coffee table. You turned the TV on and scrolled through the options. Finally settling on the 90s batman animated series as background noise.

You went back into the kitchen and poured the tea in your favorite mug. On the way to the living room you grabbed your phone just in case he called you. He may not have called you in the past week but who knows maybe today would be your lucky day.

Time went by smoothly. Surprisingly grading he papers wasn't too difficult since your students actually followed directions. Since it was easy to grade you decided to raise the volume of the TV and pay more attention to the plot of the episode. You were just about to finish grading the last paper when your phone started to ring. Had it not been on vibrate mode you would have never known it was ringing. When you looked at the caller ID your heart went pitter patter. It was Wonho. You obviously picked up the phone immediately with a joyful tone.

"Hey babe! How have you been? How's comeback? How does your shoulder feel? Are you eating properly"

"Well hello to you too baby, and to answer your questions good, good, good and of course!"

"Well that's good. It's been awhile and I was beginning to worry you forgot I existed."

"How can I forget about the shining light of my life."

"I mean with all those beautiful girls around you everyday it's not hard to think you might forget about an average girl like me."

"You're right."

"Wha- WONHO!"

You heard him laughing and knew that he did that just to get a reaction out of you.

"You know I would never. You're the only girl I have my eyes on."

"Hmph could've fooled me. Don't worry I already got my eyes set on another man." You said jokingly.

"Ya! I was joking."

"I know you dork."

There was a comfortable silence after you guys finished laughing.

"When do you think we'll be able to hang out?"

"Soon, I'm hoping. Everything is just so crazy that I barely have time to focus on taking care of myself. I'm honestly so sorry for not being able to call you. You must think I don't love you anymore."

"Wonho, I know I signed up for this when I first started dating you. You don't have to feel guilty for something you can't really control." You said trying to lighten the mood.

" I know it's just that I- I... I just want you to know that. (In Korean) I am the luckiest man in the world. I know you probably think I take you for granted but the truth is I could never love another girl like I love you. You said that you think I can forget about you easily an quite possibly leave you for another girl? When in reality everyday I worry you might just give up waiting for me an find another guy to replace me. You're my driving force in life. I don't know what I would do without you. I love you so much baby girl that I can't even find the right words to describe how much."

"...You know I hate you. I'm pretty sure you probably said the most beautiful words I will ever hear but I guess I will never know considering you just said it ALL IN KOREAN. Babe you know I'm not hat fluent. Now can you please tell me what you said again." You whined.

He chuckled, "I said, I am the luckiest man in the world. I know you probably think- ah forget it. You're making it so hard to surprise you."

"What? How? And what surprise are you talking about?"

"Turn around."

You quickly turned around almost giving yourself whiplash and that's when you saw your man standing there with a smile on his face and his arms opened wide.

"IT'S YOU!! YOU'RE HERE!!!" You said as you ran to him and jumped on him instantly grabbing his head to pull him in for a kiss. You almost cried tears of joys feeling his lips on yours after not being able to even touch in in 2 months.

You pulled away having the need to catch your breath. But you were still cupping his face with your hands, staring lovingly into his eyes. Eventually you went back in for another kiss but jumped at the sound of an explosion that happened in the show you were watching almost falling out of his grip. Wonho laughed at you while he gently placed you down so he wouldn't accidentally drop you.

"Heeeyyyy, why are you laughing? I could've died." You said while pouting.

"Sorry jagiya, you're just so cute I couldn't help it."

"Hmph. Nice to know you think me almost dying is cute."

"Dying? I'm pretty sure falling from that height wouldn't have killed you." He said amused.

"You don't know that. What if when I fell, I could have broken a bone and punctured an important organ and potentially bleed out."

"That sounds highly unlikely."

"Since when dud you become a medical doctor."

"Since the moment I started dating you. With the amount of times I've had to take care of you because of how clumsy you are, I'm pretty sure I can get a medical degree easily."

"YA! I'M NOT THAT CLUMSY."

"If you say sooo."

You and Wonho couldn't help but laugh at the silliness of your conversation. However while you were still laughing, Wonho stopped to stare at you. The love he felt for you overwhelmed him in this moment. He wasn't sure if it it was because he hasn't seen you in awhile or if it was something else but all knew was he just realized how perfect you are. You noticed the look and asked what was wrong.

"Why are you so perfect?"

"I mean perfect isn't the word I would use to describe myself..."

"I mean it baby, what did I do to deserve you?"

"Hmmm believe it or not all you did was be yourself. I tired of guys who were fake and trying to be something they thought I wanted. You are the only guy I met who was himself and that's all I can ask for. Plus your really good looking."

"I do look good, don’t I?"

"You're supposed to say thank you, you ungrateful little-"

"Just kidding." He said as he put his hands up defensively.

"I'm still waiting."

Instead of answering you, he grabbed your face and pulled you in for a passionate kiss, burying his fingers in your curls.

.After 2 minutes you both pulled apart to catch your breath.

"How was that for a thank you?"

"Hmmm I think you have to do that again to make it a proper thanks."

"I can think of a better way that involves a bed and less clothes." He said as he picked you up and carried a flustered you to your bedroom. And lets just say that by the end of the night you he was able to show you just how thankful he is.

Wick wasn’t exactly thrilled to wake up to a text message asking them to come in half an hour early after they’d already had a shit night sleeping. Still, it was rare for their boss to ask that of them, and they were already up, might as well see what the issue was. It had to be an issue, of course, why else would she call them in?

They slapped together a quick breakfast, got their day bag together, and grabbed a can of Monster from the fridge, cracking it open to take a sip before activating their watch which would take them to work in an instant. They’d set it to a secluded place behind some plant cover, secret, safe, no magic here, no sir. As far as anyone else is concerned it’s just that quirky spider looking for bugs in the foliage again, normal Wick behavior.

With a yawn, they unlocked the door and stepped inside the museum. There were some other staff bustling about, and their boss waiting for them up front, very intently focused on the coffee in her hand.

"mm.. hey amber, what’s up? why’d you need me in early?” Came Wick’s sleepy greeting.

Amber’s head popped up, seeming almost startled, “Wick.. Did I wake you?”

Their stomach twisted a little at the comment. Oh no, this was going to be about how much they’ve been nodding off at work, isn’t it? They anxiously squeezed the strap of their bag, “nah.. hard time sleeping last night. i even went to bed early... er.”

A small smile crept across Amber’s face and she laughed softly, “Would that have been 1am or midnight?”

“11, actually. but uh- what... what’s up?”

Right to business then. Amber wrapped her hands around the coffee cup like it was a life preserver, “Can you come with me up to my office, Wick? You’re not in trouble. There’s just something I need to discuss with you.”

Wick had already started to go into panic mode at being summoned to her office, despite the immediate reassurances, but nodded stiffly and trudged behind as Amber led them upstairs. 

Once inside, Amber closed the door, locked it, and took a seat at her desk. She suddenly looked exasperated, hands on her temples, “Wick.. I’ve spoken to some of your friends.” A pause. Maybe that wasn’t where she wanted to start, “I.. Trust you. Professionally. But I need to know I can trust you outside of the workplace too.”

Wick stared blankly at her, watching the exasperation, the stumbling over her words. Absolutely clueless, they spoke up, “huh..? we’re already friends outside of work too. did you.. not already trust me? is.. there something going on? did something happen?”

Amber’s face creased in concern, “No.. Not like you’re thinking. Wick. I. Want to tell you something. Something you cannot under any circumstances share with anyone outside of who already knows. I hate to threaten this, but it’s important that you know if you do tell, there will be consequences.”

That pit returned quickly to Wick’s stomach, “amber if this is something you don’t trust me with-”

She cut them off, “No- Wick you’re.. A good person. You mean so, so well. You’re excitable, and full of energy, passionate about your interests, and that’s wonderful. But. The way I hear you talk about some of the things you’ve seen.. Like they are a novelty and not the lives of living people.”

“.... huh?”

“Wick. You already know monsters and magic are real. You talk about it so much. You do realize they are secret for a reason, yes?”

Feeling a bit like a scolded child, Wick shrunk in on themselves a little, “i.. never thought about it like that. i guess.”

Amber sighed, folding her hands on the table, “I can’t speak for your friends from other worlds. It is their decision to be known. But you can’t speak so freely about those from this world, not without their permission.”

“i don’t think i’ve really-” Again, they were cut off, “You’ve posted that trail cam still to your blog, Wick. Do you think they were okay with having their photo taken like that?”

“... my blog? wait- you follow my blog?” 

Zero confirmation.

“Wick. It is important for you to realize that anyone from this world, or any other world for that matter, can see anything you post online. I appreciate that you at least keep some names anonymous, but it is quite obvious when you’re posting about working here. We are the only natural history museum in the region.” A sigh, “I’m getting off topic. Wick, I need to know I can trust you.”

“i thought you said i wasn’t in trouble.” Their voice was so, so small. 

“And you’re not. I’m just.. Concerned. For the safety of those in the magical community who may not want their secrets out there.” While there was clearly something being left unsaid, Wick was too wrapped up in their anxiety to notice, so Amber continued, “Wick. Can. I. Trust. You?”

They didn’t know what to make of this, at first they nodded, but felt it wasn’t enough, “yes.. of course you can. i... i know i post about a lotta stuff but i know how to be discreet when i need to be. amber... what’s going on?”

The answer seemed to satisfy her, and really, it did. Especially when coupled with the reassurances from some of Wick’s other friends, “There is.. So much more magic in this world than you know. Many more monsters than you think. Some blend in among the mundane, while some do live in seclusion away from others. Wick.. I can’t stop you from going out with your friends, doing your little cryptid hunts, can I at least ask you not to post any real findings? At least, not without permission from whomever you find? You wouldn’t post a photo of some random stranger if they weren’t a monster, right? You’re not some People Of Walmart asshole photographing people without their consent.”

Ah. It finally started to click why that grumpy old monster named Asa from the woods by their house disliked them so much. Wick nodded again. Maybe they had been a little caught up in the thrill of hunting for myths and magic and forgotten that these were in fact literal normal people behind it all.

“Good. Now that that’s settled..” Amber pursed her lips, intently studying the wood grain of her desk as she tried to put off what came next, “I.. Want to tell you something. Something very few people know. The only people you may discuss it with at present are Nyx, Nova, Sheer, Blud, and Madison Conor.”

Wick’s guilt from being scolded kept their response tempered as they listened. They weren’t too surprised by some of the names, especially since they’d brought Sheer and Mads to work with them before. Nyx and Nova though.. Nyx was a moth monster, Nova had known Nyx’s not-so-secret secret already. Did that mean...? “okay..?”

Amber’s hands had moved from fidgeting with her coffee cup to fidgeting with the soft fluffy gray feather she always wore on a necklace. Wick had asked about it once, and been told it was from one of her first chickens and was important to her.

“Do not shout. Do not gasp. Do not. Make a sound.”

As she stood and stepped back from her chair, Amber finally let the magic disguise fall away. Standing where the human was moments ago was a massive wall of soft gray as feathered wings unfurled and a long, serpentine neck and tail uncurled to fill the room. Careful not to knock anything over, Amber stared down at Wick scrutinizing them and now towering over them, feathers brushing the ceiling and both walls all at the same time in the cramped space.

Wick clamped their hands over their mouth to stifle the surprised sound they were definitely about to make as they stepped back on instinct. They were frozen there, wide eyes locked onto their boss who, until this very moment, they’d assumed was as mundane a human as it gets. 

This seemed an acceptable response and Amber gave them a small nod.

Wick’s voice was barely above a whisper coming from behind their hands, “so- you’ve- you’re. you’re a dragon???” 

“No. Just a big chicken.” Came her good natured reply, a small smile shining in her deep red eyes.

“you’re a dragon............... dragons are real...................” They were having a bit of a life changing moment, it turned out.

Seeing their reaction, Amber laughed before reactivating the magic charm, returning to her human shape, “Yes, and if you tell anyone, I will set you on fire.”

It was the sort of good natured threat that friends tossed around at each other as a joke, but after her warnings, Wick took it deadly seriously, “i- god- yeah. no. nooo. no. i won’t tell anyone. i promise.”

Now that the huge weight was off her shoulders, Amber felt much more relaxed and could be her usual self. She stepped around the desk to approach Wick and put a hand on their shoulder, “I’m.. Quite sure you’re going to want to talk about this with people. I know you. You love to talk about your days, share fun stories with your friends. If you must talk about this, please just.. Wait a bit. Disconnect it from your meeting with me that I saw you post about. Do not mention me. Keep it vague. Understand?”

Another nod from the star struck spider.

“Maybe.. In the future, I might be more comfortable with my secret being better known. At least online where it is a little less likely to be connected back to me here in the real world.” She offered, “But for now.. Keep it secret, okay? There are those out there who would seek to use us monsters or hurt us, and I don’t want myself or anyone else put in a position of vulnerability by a well intentioned cryptid hunter.”

It was much the same concerns that they’d heard from Asa before albeit worded a lot more politely. They felt guilty for disregarding him like that, even if he had kinda kidnapped them and held them hostage for hours. Maybe they ought to go find him and apologize anyway.

As their shock wore off, dots began to connect in Wick’s mind. Sheer, Blud, chickens, “hey... are you breezybantam..?”

“... Okay. Meeting over. Get get get. You have a register to go open.” Despite the abruptness of her quite literally steering them towards the door, there was a smile in her voice that confirmed Wick was right on the mark.

Wick spends most of the workday a little dazed, but in a good way. Holy shit...... Dragons are real in their world and they’re already friends with one.
