Yoon Jeonghan had a habit. It wasn’t the worst of habits, but it was the kind that would clutter up your life. Often, you would wonder why he would do it, and why he hadn’t stopped: not even after you had mentioned it so many times.

It had started in high school. High school, that eternity away now. Luckily, your past was riddled with memories of him, and all of the little things that you had shared together; lunches, late nights studying, throwing littler paper wads at eachother from across the room. He would pull at the tie around your neck that was a part of the school uniform just to get a rise out of you. Jeonghan would nap during class, and you would be the one to wake him up with the flick of your finger. On cold walks to school, he would lend you his scarf, and on hot summer nights you’d stay out searching for snacks until sleep drew your eyes down, and he’d let you lean on him the whole walk home.

He wrote it on the first exam you had ever failed in your whole life.

Conversely, he had gotten nearly a perfect score. He was annoyingly good at everything he did. That, or he was just really good at cheating his way through things. When you thought about it, it was likely the latter that was more accurate.

At first you thought it was a joke. It was as if he was taunting you for failing miserably at mathematics II. You were never good at math anyway.

The second time he wrote it was when you had fallen asleep in class. It wasn’t a common occurrence. He’d call you a baby for being scared to fall asleep during class for fear of being startled awake by the teacher. However, this was the week that had been the longest for you: the week that everything fell apart.

Even into your mid twenties, your mother still would never tell you why your father had left that week and you never saw it fit to prod more.

He had written it on a scrap piece of paper after getting you a strawberry milk and leaving it for you on your desk.

yjh was here

Since then, he had taken the opportunity to write it everywhere he could manage. Suddenly his little scribbles filled up the margins of your notebooks; on post-it notes--he’d even etch it onto the skin on your arm in soft blue pen ink. Later, when the two of you had gone on to college, he would sneak into your dorm to write it everywhere he could find. No matter how many times you would erase it from your little whiteboard by your desk, he’d always manage to write it over, noticing immediately that it was gone.

Today, you had noticed that he had slipped it into your legal folder, among other more boring and business-y things and you had no idea how it had gotten there. It must have been sometime the day before, as he had written it on a napkin from the catering company.

yjh was here.

In all the many years that he had followed you from place to place, you must have amassed hundreds of his little notes. You kept the ones that he would give you at work tucked away in a desk, often forgetting that they were kept there until you would stumble upon them, tugging a little smile at your face. The rest of them you kept at home in a little box in your closet, even deeper away, never really knowing why. The act of simply having them was satisfaction enough, in fact, you never really minded a little clutter.

☆彡

With eyes drooping, you scratched away on your yellow note pad, writing a string of nonsense words that sounded important from the presentation. The red setting setting sun reminded you that it was your least favorite time of day: the time where the last work hour of the day would appear to stretch into twenty. Under the table your scratchy cotton work-pants felt even more scratchy than usual. Somewhere above you, the penetrating white fluorescents buzzed like flies.

With a little tap on your shoulder, Yoon Jeonghan was sitting next to you as he always was. Compared to him, you felt as if you looked like an utter mess. Just as he was annoyingly good at everything, there was never a day that he came into work looking less than perfection. Today it was a tweed two piece with a pressed shirt underneath as well as a navy tie adorning his beautifully slender neck. Around his face befell his deeply dark strands of hair which pricked the edges of his rounded wire glasses.

“This is so boring.” He had mouthed to you, adding a pout to the end of his sentence.

You formed the sound on your lips, “Shhhhh”

“I’m just saying!”

“Pay attention.”

You turned your head back to pretend to care about what your boss had to say. Every fifteen seconds or so you would nod your head to make it appear as if you were diffusing the information he was giving out.

Another tap on your shoulder and Jeonghan displayed his pen to you to draw your attention to the margin of your quarterly report print out.

you look really beautiful today, he had written

“Stop it!” You accidentally hissed, garnering the attention of your nosy and equally bored coworker sitting across from you.

This time you mouthed out the words, “No I don’t.”

“~yessss~” Jeonghan curled out his words with his tiny creeping smile

Your knee bumped into his under the ginormous desk.

“Pay attention, ‘Han.”

“Is there something you would like to add L/n?” Your supervisor’s voice cracked in the silence of the room.

“N-no sir.” your head bowed in repentance.

He elder man tsked in a little sound with his teeth. “I know that we’re getting to the end of the day folks, but let’s just get through this all so we can get home...”

Jeonghan’s tweed pants made a little screeching sound against the fabric of yours when you bumped him again under the guise of the desk.

“Screw you.”

Your friend met your remark with a wink, biting the cap of his pen while his eyes wandered down to show you another little message:

yjh was here

and I’m excited for tonight

☆彡

Wednesdays were customary somaek nights where each of you and your coworkers would gather in your cruelly tiny apartment with their own separate dishes for all to share and forget about the troubles of the midweek. As the year was winding down, it was these nights that would get you through the week. With the bodies of the five of you in your tiny living room cramped around your low-set table, you had almost forgotten that the heating in there barely worked.

With each of your coworkers entrance, they would bring in the smell of autumn with them, and the chill of the air outside. On each of their long coats, bits of leaves would cling to the edges of the fabric. Each Wednesday there would be a royal mess to clean up after, but it was Jeonghan who would often stay after to help you. The two of you would end up in your cruelly tiny kitchen, throwing soap bubbles at each other’s faces drunkenly with socks sliding all over the wooden floors. Jeonghan would write another note to stick on your refrigerator, then he would take you by the hands to twirl you around to some unbearably cheesy sounding OST.

Perhaps it was the way that your head would get fuzzy from the soju and beer, but you loved the way that he would twirl you; it was almost like a waking dream.

“Nobody worry! Nobody! Worry!” Soonyoung burst through your door, case of beer in hand. “I’m not late, I’m actually early! Don’t you know that it’s trendy to appear an hour into the party?” When Soonyoung spoke, he had a habit of speaking with his whole chest.

“Took you long enough,” Mingyu whined, popping in another strip of galbi.

“You don’t enjoy our presence, ‘Gyu?” Wonwoo’s mouth upturned into a teasing grin.

“N-no,” The biggest man babbled, “It’s just that...Wednesdays are somaek evenings.”

“--Then I am here to help you out my friend.” Soonyoung plopped himself right down on the floor with the poof of his blond hair popping from his beanie. “Ahhhh this all looks so delicious.”

“You better pay me back.” You griped while serving him a plate of the assortment.

“Have I ever mentioned how much I love you, Y/n?”

“Nearly every time I do something for you? You still owe me from the last time we went to karaoke.

“--And for covering for your ass last week...some hangover that was, huh?” Jeonghan scooched over his leftover rice to you.

Soonyoung scoffed while twirling his bottle of soju in the air, the admiring the little tornado swirling inside. “-Was worth it though. We always have fun don’t we?” In his affection, he threw his arms around you and Wonwoo beside him.

“-Food’s gonna get cold.” Wonwoo poked his finger in the general direction.

With his full glass raised in the air after a minute of preparation, Soonyoung lead you all in a toast, cheeks already rosy. The second that your glasses collided, liquid came downpouring to the table, but none of you seemed to mind. Before you could bring your drink to your lips, you caught yourself having a moments pause, watching all of your friends before you. If you could have, you wished you could fold up little moments like these as well to put in your drawer to see when you would feel down.

Jeonghan caught your wistful sigh, sending you a wink. In many ways, you knew he must have known your thoughts.

Under the table, his hand brushed up to your crossed knee, letting his hand linger. He let his hand rest there for a moment, as if he was soaking up your essence in the moment. He had never done it before, but his thumb gently rubbed at your knee, and it felt like a waking dream.

☆彡

The night had ticked on, and you and grown more tired than you had expected by pass of the clock hand. As the night would normally progress, drinks would be had, then each of you would take turns updating the others on what you had been doing or working on. All of you would gather advice or support if needed. There had even been times when you would even provide a shoulder for one to cry on, although that didn’t happen most times.

Others, like today, the five of you would simply sit and enjoy each other’s presence with the window slightly cracked open to let the autumnal air cool your burning bodies. Jokes would be cracked every once and a while until yawns would escape your mouths. By then, another joke would be made about how you were all getting to old to be staying up that late.

Jeonghan played with your hair as you had leaned into him, swirling your final glass of soju in your wrist. While you were hot yourself, the heat from his body was still calming, and the way that his chest would rise and fall was a bit like a lullaby.

“I’m falling asleep, we should head out,” Mingyu clapped Wonwoo by the back.

“Another one for the books.” Soonyoung sighed, then rose up with a stretch of his arms, wrinkling up his white button up and loose tie.

“Sweet dreams everyone.” You shift off of your best friend, shuddering a little at the lack of contact, to close the door after them.

“I’m looking forward to next Wednesday!” Soonyoung beams with a little salute, then bows before shuffling away.

“What time is it?” You yawn out the words, rubbing your eyes.

“Too late. We still need to go in tomorrow, remember?”

Dirty dishes clink in your hands as you bring them to your sink. “We really should start doing this on Fridays.”

“I don’t wanna start cleaning just yet, can we stay here for a while?” Jeonghan spreads his arms out, beckoning you to fall back into him. You laugh a little at the motion.

“Why so touchy? We haven’t done this in so many years...I can’t remember the last time...”

You oblige him, nuzzling right up to his chest once more. He smells a bit of the somaek, but mostly of his usual scent: that cheap cologne that you had bought him about a year ago. You had mostly gotten it as a gag gift, but he had worn it every day since.

“Must have been in high school.” His words are long and breathy.

“How come we stopped?”

Jeonghan takes a minute to answer you, and you wonder if he’s fallen asleep. Instead, he raises a hand to rub at your arm lightly, just as he had done with your knee.

“Dunno. We got older?”

“What does getting older have to do with it?”

You watch in the silence as his thumb continues to rub over the fabric of your long-sleeved button down.

“--Do you want to play a game?” Jeonghan says at last.

“A game? What do you mean?”

“For fun. I’m trying to find something to do so we don’t have to do the dishes.”

“Okay,” You perk up slightly, still not removing yourself from his encircled arms. “What kind of game?”

“Truth or dare?”

“Psh what are we, back in high school?”

“Seeing what we are doing right now, wouldn’t you say so?” The words escape Jeonghan’s mouth with a growing grin.

You ruffled to top of his head, messing up his perfectly primped hair. “...Fineeee. You going first or me?”

“I’ll go. Truth.” Jeonghan pulled you back into him, settling your back flush with his chest.

“Okay, truth: did you really mean it when you said that you liked Minji’s power suit? I know you thought it looked tacky.”

Jeonghan’s breathy laugh miffed up your hair. “I’ll say anything if it keeps me in the supervisor’s good graces.”

“HA. I knew it.”

“Which do you pick?”

“Mmmm-truth.”

“Not dare? You’re no fun.”

“I said truth!!!”

“Fine, fine.” His slender arms squeezed at your body to situate you better in between his legs. “When was the last time that you brought someone over to your place?”

“Yo-you mean like “brought someone” over?”

“You know what I mean.” In his voice you could nearly see his mischievous smile.

“I’ve told you about all of them so I don’t know why you’re asking. It’s been about a year.”

“A year? Really?”

“--Nope! You don’t get to ask any more questions. Truth or dare?”

“Dare.” Jeonghan said without a moment’s hesitation.

Your eyes wandered the room for his perfect punishment. “Ah! Take that soy sauce, the one with the wasabi bits in it...and drink it.”

Your friend sighed, but took the tiny cup in his fingers to down it all in one shot. He shivered a little and you could feel his face scrunch up, but he held his reactions back best he could.

“That was such a high school dare. You really haven’t changed.”

“I thought it was funny.”

“Truth or dare Y/n.”

“Truth.”

“Ughhh truth again?”

“ ‘Hannnn--”

“Just say dare! I promise that I’ll go easy on you.”

“Fine then. Dare.”

“I dare you...to take your shirt off.”

“What?!” Your head snapped back to send him your deathly glare. “Are you being serious right now?”

“What? It’s nothing that I haven’t seen? Are you forgetting that we’ve been friends for nearly our whole lives? That and college you were someone who would go to parties and take your shirt off. Remember that?”

“...yes.” You felt heat rise in your cheeks. “Fine then.” In one motion, you pulled your shirt over your head, jumping a little once you felt Jeonghan’s hands help tear it off your arms. You hesitated to lay back, but his arms made a decision before you could, and pulled you back into his chest. Now, it was the skin of his fingers on your bare arms that you were painfully aware of.

“T-truth or dare?” You squeaked out.

“Truth.”

“No fair, you made me do dare!”

“I already did a dare. Truth.”

From the other side of your room, your refrigerator clacked with the sound of ice cubes falling into their tray. On the door, dozens of multi-colored post-it-notes had been suck there with clear tape.

“...Why is it that you’re always writing me those notes? “yjh was here?”“

“Hmm.” He breathed out. “I had a feeling that you might ask me that one.”

“...And?”

“--Because I like to. And...”

Your anticipation hung tangibly in the air. You didn’t quite know it, but you had been waiting for his answer for so many years, you had lost count.

“...And I like seeing them around you. -Reminds me that I’m a part of your life. Kind of like how we exist together. They’re little reminders for you as well...to know that I’m around for you.”

“Jeonghan...” You wouldn’t have expected it, but tears singed the corners of your eyes.

“Truth or dare?” He cooed into your ear.

“D-dare.” Your voice shook, realizations flooding you like rain.

“I dare you to take off your pants. Can you do that?” His voice had dropped, low and gravely.

You nodded your answer, and took to unbuttoning your pants, shimmying them off where you sat on the floor. As soon as your bare legs were exposed, he had found a new place to rest his hands; you never would have guessed for them to be so beautiful-looking there.

“I choose dare.” He breathed onto your bare neck.

“I-I dare you take off our shirt too.” Your face felt furiously warm as you uttered the words and he did exactly as he was told. The sensation of your skin on his skin then sent your head spinning with just how close you had been in that moment, closer than ever before.

Jeonghan’s hands explored your bare legs with a touch as soft as butterfly wings. His light touches sent an aching pain to your sex as it had never felt so needy and neglected.

“Truth or dare my love?”

In an attempt to hide your frustration, you could only form the word, “T-truth?”

“Hmm...truth...” Jeonghan began to kneed into your legs, digging his nails in every so slightly. “Have you ever kept secrets from me?”

“Secrets? Why-why would I, I don’t-mmph-have any secrets to keep from you.”

“I think that’s a lie Y/n.”

Indeed it was a lie. You had kept secrets from him. Two secrets to be exact; one of them being near the precipice for the whole universe to see.

“I’ve kept secrets from you, you know.”

“What?”

“Do you dare me to show you?”

Your anxious breath caught in your lungs, full of confusion but even more excitement. Jeonghan’s hands crept slowly up to your hips.

He repeated, “Do you?”

“Ye-yes. I dare you to show me.” Your eyes had closed feeling his hands draw even farther up your body.

Your best friend surveyed your whole chest with his hands, swirling around as much skin as he could touch. He was careful not to tickle you, but rather give every ounce of your being his careful attention. For a moment, his fingers grazed over your nipples, but went to cradle your neck in his hands. He turned it to the side to expose the beating vein there, and placed the slowest and most tender kiss upon it. From the feeling of his fleeting lips, you whimpered at the sensation.

“Dare.” You managed with a dry mouth. “I dare you to touch me...anywhere you want...please...”

Jeonghan chuckled slightly into your neck. “I just had my turn, but...I’m listening.”

Your entire body keened under his fingertips, writhing messily between his legs. This time, he was careful in touching you nearly everywhere: your chest, your nipples--pinching them slightly--and down your legs, to your inner thighs where he traced up to your underwear, now wetting a little with your arousal.

“Tell me the truth.” He bit into your skin. “Am I one of your secrets?”

Your answer was given to him in the form of you forcefully tearing from his grip to push his legs together so that you could straddle them. The way that his shoulder blades flexed under your firm grip was dizzying. Your eyes fell to his lips: your secret.

“I dare you to kiss me,” You breathed onto them.

“I thought that you’d never ask.”

Jeonghan was smiling as he pulled your lips into his, and he never quite seemed to stop. Every bit of your love for him spilled into his mouth where you found the comfort from him that you had craved for years. You had felt first kisses before, but nothing was quite like this one. With Jeonghan who you had known for so long, you were thrilled to get to know him in this new and different way, and you wanted to absorb every little bit of it: the way he would caress the sides of your face so gently, or the way that he would angle your neck to meet his lips. You would never have guessed to feel so complete with him like this, but it also made all the sense in the world. It was you that he wanted, and you that he wanted to stay next to through all those years. He had never let you go, and you had never let him either.

In between kisses, you found both of yourselves giggling hysterically.

“Are we really doing this right now? Are we...?” You bit a laugh into his lip.

“Yes. I think that we are.” He engulfed you in his grasp. “I’ve wanted to do this for years, Y/n.

Jeonghan scooped you up, moving both of your bodies to the couch where he clinked with his belt buckle to remove his pants. “You really do look beautiful. Everyday. I’m not just saying that.”

You practically clawed at him to lay his body on top of yours, then wrapped your legs around his waist to align him with your own. In your unadulterated intoxication of him, you hopelessly grinded up into him, seeking some kind of stimulation from the mashing of fabric together. After a little scoff, Jeonghan’s hand cascaded down your body to rub at your throbbing sex, marveling in the way that you had soaked though your underwear just a little.

“Wow. This is how you feel about me?”

“Do you want me to say sorry?”

“No--it’s just...I wish that I had known sooner.”

Your lust brought his lips back to yours as you kissed him over and over and over, trying to make up for all of the times that you wished you had done before. His touch on your sensitive skin sent you mewling onto his tongue.

“Can I make you mine now?”

As for your response, your widened legs told him exactly what he needed to know.

In one swift motion, he had tugged off his own briefs, letting free his deliciously hard cock, sparkling at the head with his pre-cum. Looking at him like this, all for you, was like a walking dream.

Jeonghan gathered spit from his tongue to glide over his dick, then teased your impatient entrance while he watched your face contort into the most beautiful shapes he thought he had ever seen. He entered you slowly, letting each of you take in the moment as if you could forget it the next. Once you were together, his brows twitched a little as his closed eyes focused only on you. He filled you up perfectly, as if you were made for him--which you had convinced yourself that you were. Jeonghan buried his face in your neck to suck into the skin, marking you as his.

Your orgasm built much quicker than you had intended, and soon you were begging him to make you cum--which he gladly did. Your heels dug into his back upon your release which gathered more heat between your two bodies. Jeonghan didn’t skip a beat as he chased his own orgasm, fucking you into your own overstimulation and leaving you to melt under him.

“Jeong-han.” You gasped out his name through your teeth as your body quaked from the snap of his hips.

“oh god,” He uttered, tangling his fingers deep into your hair, then smashing his lips back into yours. “you’re so good for me my love...so good...”

Jeonghan let out little grunts as he came and filled you deeply with the warmth from his cum. As he throbbed within you, you knew it really was him you were made for. He lingered inside your walls as your bodies shook together with the aroma of sex fogging the air. After a while, it didn’t take long for both of you to be laughing contentedly into each other’s mouths once more.

Your best friend reached for your hand to bind all of your fingers to his. "No more secrets.”

☆彡

“Do you want the sweatpants from the top shelf or the rack?” Jeonghan called to you through your cruelly tiny apartment. “Wait...i-is this...?”

Once he had returned, in his hand he held the aged strawberry milk carton with the little cartoon fruit on the side and the scrap piece of paper wrapped around it. In the other was your little box of notes.

yjh was here

“I can’t believe that you’ve kept it this long. Why--”

“--I’ll tell you why...it’s my second secret.”

Your best friend cocked his head. “...Second?”

“Ever since that day, I’ve known, Yoon Jeonghan. I love you.”

☆彡

re: commenting i think for me it feels like there's sometimes too much pressure on how you comment. i tend to lean on the side of "you should comment on many of the fics that you read" but the way that I go about commenting on other fics vs. fics in this fandom are different because lots of these writers are my friends and i want to encourage writing and community in this fandom. i don't always comment on fics i read in other fandoms, but if i like the fic i find it easy to put a quick "i really liked this! thanks for writing and posting!" and call it a day. i also think that the size of this fandom plays a role in what weight comments have, i guess? like, when i write for almost any of my other fandoms, i get more comments because the fandoms are larger, and i think that fics have a better shelf-life there, too. i'm more likely to get a comment a few weeks after posting, whereas in this fandom i've found that i get comments within the first two days and then typically don't get any more. as a writer in this fandom it's really disheartening to me to not get feedback and to feel like no one is reading. i post to share, and i want people to receive it. when what i post isn't received it can hurt, especially if i like the fic a lot or if it took a lot of time/effort to write. that's partially just the sting of a small fandom though: you can't count on other people to comment, because there are less people reading.

that being said, i also find it really interesting how being part of a writing community changes the feedback/comments/validation. i posted a fic in this fandom not on my normal account earlier this year (shhhhh) and, while it has the most hits of my 2022 5sos fics, it has no comments, and i think it's because people feel more of an obligation to comment when it's someone they know. you want your friends to feel good, so you tell them that their fic is good. the vast majority of the comments i get are from other writer friends, usually the same few ones, probably partially because lots of them are the ones reading, but also because they know and understand the joy of getting comments and how writers crave them.

anyway, i honestly don't find comments difficult, which makes this easier for me. i think sometimes we get caught up in needing to write a "good" comment vs. a "bad" one when bad comments don't really exist! sure, it's fun when someone goes through and points out specific lines and says you made them cry or they feel mushy, but someone typing a heart in the comment box and clicking send makes me happy too! honestly sometimes after i read fics i don't have anything extra to say besides "this was nice and i liked it" and that's okay, but me leaving a comment saying "this was nice and i liked it!" is still going to make the writer happier than me not commenting (i assume, as it would make me happy).

anyway, apologies for the length, i'm sure i left out a thought i intended to include here or there, but community response to content is something i feel strongly about lol -hazel

no need to apologize for length! we here at igarbagecannoteven are big supporters of words :)) that being said i am going to put my response below the cut bc (suprising no one) it's pretty ramble-y lol

i really agree on your point about the pressure on ~how~ you comment, it's something that i've really struggled with in the past (and tbh still struggle with). being in a smaller fandom like this one makes commenting complicated, and not just because once you get to know people it makes things more personal. i often get caught up in the headspace of "am i saying enough? are they going to think i liked this fic less if i leave a short comment here since i left a long comment on a different one?" and so on and so forth (which i think might be more of a me thing than anything else lol) like i have dozens of fic posts in my drafts (possibly even in the triple digits at this point) waiting for me to tag and schedule that i haven't bc i started overthinking what to say in the tags and now it's overwhelming and well we all know where that goes. while i don't read many fics from other fandoms, it's definitely easier to leave a short comment of "yay i liked this!" bc i don't know them, they don't know me, and it's easier to remind myself that any comment is a good comment.

that being said, it's more rewarding to know the person on the receiving end of the comment and knowing it'll bring them joy does make it more motivating to comment! i know i'm generally more likely to comment or return later to comment if i know the person (or am more likely to feel guilty for not commenting lol)

i don't have experience posting in other fandoms so idk if i can add much to your point but i've also noticed this fandom's,, "bias towards recent fics" isn't the right term and has more negative connotations then i want to convey but it's the closest one i've got. like, if you look at comments on most fics almost all of them tend to be near or on the date of posting, and it's always a surprise to have someone comment on something i posted more than a week or two ago. i'd be really interested to know why it's like this in this particular fandom, and whether it's dependent on how it's big enough for new fic to be a semi-regular occurrence but still small in the grand scheme of things *or* if it's connected to something else entirely!

as to your last point, i do agree that there can be an (often internal) emphasis on "good" vs "bad" commenting that is ultimately harmful and untrue, but as someone who does have trouble commenting sometimes, i would like to note that's not always the reason it's a struggle/a comment doesn't get written (although it's admittedly often a factor despite the fact that i know in my heart it's nonsense)

thank you so much sending in your thoughts! i always love to hear from you :)) if you think of any other points, i'd love to hear them

#i am Very *eyes emoji* about this other fic you posted to a different account #have i read it?#i mean i probs haven't if it came out in 2022 but still #(you don't have to answer that lol)#anyways thx again for sending this in! you brought up a lot of good points!#not all of which i addressed but my brain has yet to fully boot up lol #answering mail #hazel #i feel like i should have a tag for this type of discussion like maybe #fandom talk #maybe? idk we'll see if it sticks

What if kiyru and majima found their male S/O playing yakuza 0 and they were absolutely loving it.(Shhhhh ignore the lack of logic and reason) P.S I love your headcannons.

Kiryu and Majima seeing Male S/O play Yakuza 0 HCs

Kiryu:

Like Majima, Kiryu is also incredibly confused, but he wouldn’t think about it for a long time. Strange things kept happening to him, he wouldn’t be surprised about a strange game...Okay, maybe a little.

He would stare at the controller. That looks so... complex... What do you mean it’s touch-screen?? He knows about the NES and the Playstation but he doesn’t know anything about... this. Not like, he’s played any virtual games in his childhood. He only played tag and other physical activities back at Sunflower.

Seeing the parts of Majima before he became a Mad Dog made Kiryu respect him a lot more. Majima was strange but a good man and Kiryu knew that.

“Who knew that Majima-san was close with Makoto-san..”

When Oda and Tachibana showed up, It made him remember how much he’s been helped by them and how it could have been better had the situation’s been different. It should be time that he visits their graves again.

“I’ll forever be grateful for what they did. I wouldn’t have been alive now without them.”

Sign him up for some Karaoke! You do all the work because he’s not really good at games. He can sing and cheer if you want?

You asked him to play one time and you didn’t think teaching someone how to play was so stressful.

*You two proceed to spend hours trying to learn*

But seeing Kiryu succeed in completing Bakamitai for the first time could be your biggest achievement yet. It was all worth it.

“I...I did it!” He’ll stare at the screen with wide eyes.

“You did!!” You’ll beam as you give him a high-five which he accepted.

Kiryu mainly plays the Fishing, Karaoke, and the Disco minigames and watches you fight. How the tables turn. Kiryu couldn’t play as well as he fights in real life.

“I caught a Great White!! Yes!!!” You’ll cheer as you smirk at Kiryu who looked disgruntled. “Why don’t you try?”

You’ll only be surprised when he caught an Oarfish larger than yours.

“It seems I win.”

“No fair!”

You two would also spend time playing the two-player mode in the Disco Minigame! You’ll only laugh because Kiryu quietly curses underneath his breath when he misses.

As he watches you do the Five Billionaires Quests, he wondered what could have happened if he experienced it as well, seeing all the money pile in easily.

Seeing all the other sidequests he was meant to be in, he wasn’t sure if he should be happy or not. He could remember some but not all.

All the other songs but Judgement have scores. Kiryu says it’s because Nishiki would beat his ass for not having a high score but you know better.

Whenever Nishiki pops up, Kiryu gets quiet but gives a small smile when he sees the interactions of Ingame him and Ingame Nishiki. Those were good times that he could never forget.

If you do the Pocket Circuit Quests, Kiryu takes his opportunity as the expert. He knows all the parts you would need for each race. He might actually ask to play it himself, it wouldn’t be the same but the thrill’s still there nonetheless.

“Y/N... Can you open the game?”

“Huh? Why?”

“...Well, I was wondering if I can play Pocket Circuit..”

His love for Pocket Circuit never diminishes. He ain’t Kamurocho’s Fastest for nothing.

Haruka also occasionally joins in with playing, grinning when she sees the familiar white suit and a red shirt that Kiryu wears during Adventure Mode. She’d also be the one to play the Cabaret Club minigames, giving her own comments when she watches or plays with the both of you. It gives her joy that she could have bonding time with her Uncle Kaz and Uncle Y/N.

“I wasn’t born at that time, right, Uncle Kaz, Uncle Y/N?”

Kiryu nodded, “Mhm. I can’t believe it’s been that long.”

Majima:

Majima would be so confused. How does this game that you found somewhere to have the events that happened 17 years ago? But he doesn’t think about it much, thinking of different possibilities as he watches you play. The more you progress, the more he gave up and gave commentary.

“Shit hurts my head, you know.”

However, when Lee, Nishitani, and Makoto were mentioned, now he was suspicious. How did this game know about those people? He has to reassure himself that what was done was done and it was just a game, so you tell him that he doesn’t have to watch you play.

“I know that these people are important to you. I can stop playing the game if you want?” You look at Majima who shakes his head after thinking deeply.

“Nah. It’s fine. If you’re the only one that has that game then I don’t mind you seeing it. It’s just the other people I’m worried about.”

Eventually, he moves on after seeing that you’re the only owner of the unknown game and even tells you about the events.

In order to lighten his mood, you’ll talk to him about his previous appearance.

“I wonder what you’ll look like with long hair but with the same clothes now. I should rent a tuxedo too.” You’ll grin at him as he rolls his eyes.

“I’ll look so hot that you won’t be able to keep your eyes off me. You gotta take the safety measures first.”

When you’re in Kiryu’s story, he’d look so excited, wanting to see what the man had in store.

“Beat him up, beat him up!!” He shouts as Ingame Kiryu fights with Kuze.

“Majima, he can’t hear you.”

He would absolutely enjoy all the heat moves, he’d tell you to fight enemies 24/7.

He’d also cackle at the sidequests. He’d poke fun at both Kiryu and his own sidequests.

“Kiryu-chan gets into all sorts of shit, doesn’t he?”

Majima would talk about the game with you almost every time the both of you are together in private.

“It’s kinda weird though. It’s like a weird, psychic game.” “Do you think that another version of me would exist somewhere?” He would ask.

Seeing Tachibana and Makoto’s story made Majima feel like shit. He’ll actually offer to play the following fight scenes despite not knowing how to really play it. He thinks he could have done better.

“Even if it’s already over with, I still feel like I’ve accomplished something.”

“I’m sure Makoto’s brother would be grateful.” You’ll tell him with a gentle smile and he’ll look at you and slowly smile back.

“I hope so.”

Majima’s moved on but he still hopes that Makoto’s safe. It was the least he could do.

If you get too tired, Majima will offer to play for you. He’ll make sure you sleep well before he stares at the headset and the controller.

“Now..How do I play this thing?”

Majima would be so into playing the Cabaret Club Minigame. He’d play it more than you. And he’d be so happy seeing the faces of the familiar girls he’s worked with before he left. He’ll openly admit to you that he misses them.

He would look like a kid sneaking off to hide something from their parents as he stares at you, holding your controller, with the intention of ranking his ladies to the max level.

“What is that you’re holding?”

“...A knife.”

You’ll gape as you see that in Adventure Mode, Majima can be styled.

“Look! It’s your new look!” You’ll point and indeed, Ingame Majima had the Mad Dog outfit.

Majima’s eyes would narrow in suspicion, “Wait, don’t tell me there’s a game about-”

“About what?”

“Nothing. Nevermind.”

Majima would spend so much time buying so many items that you wouldn’t even need. Mainly weapons that he can beat people up with.

“Majima, how did we just lose a billion yen?”

Tagged by @just-like-playing-tag ! Thank you so much for thinking of me ! I’ve even been re-checking your blog recently so it makes me happy. ^^ Anyway let’s go !

Rules : Tag 9 people you would like to get to know better / catch up with!!

Last song : I often switch between different songs, so it’s hard to make a real choice. But recently, because of the Tsukihime trailer, I started to listen a lot to ReoNa ! She makes epic music and has a very voice reminding me alot of Aimer (and I like her a lot already so you can guess I like ReoNa’s style as well). I also listen on repeat to Harumaki Gohan’s last album “Futarino”, there’s so much emotion in his music, it’s a great inspiration device. And last but not least, of course the new Beastar OP by YOASOBI “Kaibutsu”. She never disappoints. (Also fun fact, I actually started to listen her songs when she was still doing Vocaloid things, it was impressive seeing her suddenly get this boost in popuplarity, I am proud of her she deserves it).

Last Movie : I wanted to get used to listening to Chinese lately (I already listened to Chinese songs occasionally before, but it was more about the tone of the voice this time, to properly recognize feelings and emotions if it makes sense), so I watched this animation movie called “Nezha” ! It’s based on some actual chinese folklore (and given that I got the servant in FGO three times) it really got me curious, especially since the animation looked so good, and it didn’t disappoint ! A great movie, for both the visuals and the story ! For once, when they say that the protagonist is supposed to be evil, you can actually believe it, while still rooting for him and hope he finds happiness. Nezha’s parents are a bless (THE MOM IS BADASS) Each character has its own motivation and is engaging... Overall I would really recommend it ! (And even if it was to get me used to Chinese, I can tell that the dub was very good).

Currently watching : Or more exactly : currently on hiatus from watching. “Great Pretender” ! A story about “professional” scammers, trying to scam bigger shots each new arc, and in the process learning more about them as people and why they ended up doing what they do. I really like it, but sadly I can’t find the motivation to keep watching lately. ^^’ I would recommend it, I just take my time let’s say ! I also started “Avatar The Last Airbender” because my best friends is a big fan of the show, but since I changed of Netflix account I need to find where I had last stop to keep up. I like it for now ! And well, not exactly “currently” watching again, but I will get to watch it soon enough, I intend to watch the first season of “Horimiya” ! (People who follow me on twitter be like “Huh, didn’t you say you wer annoyed by how lovey-dovey the main couple was-?” Shhhhh... Let’s keep this a secret between us, shall we?)

Currently Reading : *Looking sadly at my pile of “to read” books and sigh* I really should finish them as well... There’s the first novel for “The Ancient Magus’ Bride”, which is a collection of short stories. Lots of manga (too many to tell what exactly... There must be at least 30 different series that I read simultaneously.) Well, recently I finished reading “The Epic of Gilgamesh” ! One of the oldest written text in the entire world, a story about becoming human. Very beautiful... except that Enkidu eats grass at the beginning, no I won’t stop thinking about it.

Tagging : Well, some were already tagged, so I hope you don’t mind the bother ? ^^’ I hope you are all doing well !

@mari-lair , @amaikana , @vobomon , @spaceoceania , @shot-tothestars , @emmasantenna , @solitaire-dreams , @bluelric , @vidaflxwer .

Favorite Characters Tag Game

Rules: List your favorite character from 10 Different Fandoms and tag 10 people

Thankees @flamelscross for the tag! (Reading yous was fun, heeeeee!)

Okay, let’s see if I can do this in just 10 fandoms. XD This will be in... no particular order past the first one. XD

1. Captain James T Kirk (Star Trek: The Original Series)

Obviously Jim tops the list, he is my childhood hero, my first ever crush and love, and the first Captain of my heart. I was raised on TOS, learned to read on TOS books (my favorites were the ones centered on Kirk, especially the ones where he got into trouble, my love for hurt/comfort and dude in distress came early XD), and Kirk will never not be my fave.

2. Captain Kathryn Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager)

(Shhhhh, it’s technically a different show, it still counts! I could never choose between them anyway so >.>) Captain and Queen of my heart. She’s definitely my first lady crush, even if I didn’t realize it till years later, and she was a formative hero of my later childhood and teens. She’s an absolutely gorgeous woman, a wonderful HBIC, protective den mother of her crew, and we couldn’t have ever asked for a better first lead Star Trek captain. (She also deserved better than what the producers did to her, fuck the producers.)

3. Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Another formative figure of my teens. From girlhood to womanhood, Buffy protected and saved the world on an almost nightly basis, and she did it with wittiness and style. She’s powerful, kind, loving, understanding, protective, and so many other wonderful things. How could I not look up to her and want to be her. She is an absolute Queen of my heart, and I will always love her.

4. Xena (Xena: Warrior Princess)

Are you sensing a theme yet? XD Yet another of my late childhood to teen heroes. Gorgeous woman, Queen of my heart, HBIC, multiple time savior of the world. I fell in love with her almost immediately, wanted to be her, realized decades later that I have always had a crush on her. She’s witty, has style, does everything she can to protect the innocent, and let me tell you, she can do a lot. After all, she has many skills.

5. Luke Skywalker (Star Wars)

Hey look, another childhood hero! XD I can’t say that I ever crushed on him (not until the new movies, oh fuck did he get gorgeous as he got older), but lord above did I want to be him. From yearning young farm boy to Jedi and savior of the galaxy, he had such an innocence about him, and then he blossomed into a powerful, caring, and heroic man who still saw the good in even the worst of enemies.

6. Captain Jack Harkness (Doctor Who/Torchwood)

Moving on to later years, Captain Jack Harkness is my captain. Despite his start as a conman, he became a man who would do anything to protect and guard the people he loved (and I mean anything, he is the man who makes the hard choices, the man who does what the purest of heroes can’t, because someone needs to in order to protect the galaxy) and the galaxy in general. He sacrificed his very life to do so, and through the good intentions of someone he loved and who loved him in return, he was repaid with an unending existence that became an absolute hell. He loves easily and he loves hard, and he sees not gender or race or species or anything other decisive differences when he loves.

7. Ash Williams (The Evil Dead trilogy)

Blame this one on first Xena (cause Autolycus, yes pls, and Bruce Campbell) and then @lenny-kosnowski for introducing me to The Evil Dead trilogy. XD From traumatized survivor to reluctant and sarcastic hero, there was no way I wasn’t going to love him once I knew him. (Also, Army of Darkness is campy as hell, and I fucking love it, omg)

8. Tsukino Usagi (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon and all its incarnations)

I love Usagi in all her incarnations, from manga to original anime to live action (which became my favorite) to Sera Myu, (I still need to watch Crystal >.<) Usagi is perfect. Ditzy, clumsy, sweet, outgoing, cheerful and at first reluctant hero, she becomes the most tenderhearted hero the universe has ever known. She always sees the good in people, always does what’s right, and she always saves the world. Also, my ditzy, clumsy, outgoing young self definitely identified with her. XD

9. Clark Kent/Superman (DC, Lois & Clark: The Adventures of Superman)

If you think I didn’t fall in love with this absolute cutie at first sight, then you’ve got another think coming. XD Clark Kent/Superman has always been my favorite superhero, and my young self being introduced to Dean Cain’s Superman? I never stood a chance. XD I adored him growing up, Lois & Clark is such a wonderfully campy and light-hearted and crazy take on Superman, and Dean Cain’s Clark was perfect. He always managed to save the day, always managed to do the right thing, and always managed to remain Clark despite being Superman.

10. Ariel (Disney’s The Little Mermaid)

As a young girl in a family that constantly had loud screaming fights with each other (although they always ended quickly and then we were all fine), I identified with Ariel so hard. I love my father and always have, but he and I clashed so hard growing up, probably because we’re so much alike. It was not unusual for us to out and out scream and shout at each other, so much anger in both of us, and explosive anger that quickly faded (looking back, we’re both ADHD and both experience emotions intensely so uh, yeah). I still remember the time he took all of my music books/sheet music/actual school work (for choir and marching band) and literally threw it out into the street because he refused to accept that I wanted to have a career in music, shouted that it wasn’t realistic, I should just settle for something else: I ran crying, out into my very dangerous neighborhood, that night, refusing to come back home to him. So the scene with Triton absolutely destroying Ariel’s grotto and then storming out, leaving Ariel sobbing and yearning for more... I knew the feeling, very intimately, and seeing someone like me go through it, and then come out happy and with everything she’d always wanted? I wanted that, and I wanted to be just like her.

Okay, there are. So many more characters, but. ONLY TEN. XD So done. I’mma tag @lenny-kosnowski @lurkingfoxxy @enfysalina @aphnxrising @hobbitystmarymorstan @costofthecrown (with absolutely no pressure!) and anyone else who wants to do it! This was a lot of fun (although omg I spent so much time picking gifs XD) and I love it.

Random concepts my brain comes up with (or just random things I think of)

I tried to avoid angst (and u!sides) but....I came up with a lot of angst (i think?)....ajdhdh sorryyyyyy

Also....dont question anything pls....im very sleep deprived and dont know anything and dont take anything to seriously

Also....theres very bad english in here so...yeah....

Warning: uh....might be u!sides.....idk ajshxh...itll be in the tags tho

Logan will quote a different school house rock song, everyday, to Virgil

Patton takes Romans sash and puts it around his forehead/waist cuz hes a pirate

Virgil steals Janus' cape and will be an airplane and everytime he passes a side he will say nyooommm

Roman will take Virgils makeup (who has a lot of different colors) and do the other sides makeup

Remus will take Logans glasses and wear them wrong on purpose cuz he knows it annoys Logan

Logan and Deceit don't do anything or take anything cuz theyre the parents™

Its legit canon that they have their own phones......Virgil has a lavender phone case, Logan has a gold case, Roman has a golden phone case, Patton has a red phone case (i think)

Everyday Virgil will give Patton a stone with a tiny piece of paper telling the meaning at the same time...everyday. virgil does this cuz 1. he has too many 2. it gives him smth to do and gets him to be a tiny bit productive

Janus has a bunch of plants a l o t o f p l a n t s like....almost an excessive amount

Dukexiety/tangled au.....repunzal as Virgil and flynn as remus (idk)

Logan t poses almost all the time

The way to tell Patton and Janus apart is that janus knows how babies are made (messenger falcons) and Patton does not

Virgil likes pasta with no sauce (pathta wif nu thathe) (if ya get the reference....good job)

Virgil has yet to have a debate with Patton, Janus and Remus

Every time there is a new disney movie roman will just be...*flappy hands* for like.....a good half hour before actually watching it

The mind vs. the heart is just an old married couple™ fight

"Oh ofc. i never wanted you to feel like you couldnt" like.....the way patton says it....sounds like a mix of Deceits voice and Pattons voice

Anytime the other sides/Thomas has a problem, Logan will dress up as Sherlock...and patton (no matter where he is) will pop up as Watson and the little arguement will happen everytime

Rhythm Redux has hints of Mandy goes to med school

Virgil is pretty short....not by much but still one of the shortest side. When his anxiety heightens, he grows taller for x hours. Then when he calms down, he goes back to his normal height

Remus would practice forbidden fruit all the time, so that when he and Thomas finally met, he wouldnt mess up (cuz ew...who wants tk mess up on their own song?). Sometimes he would scream it, especially when Virgil was around

In moving on pt.1 virgil said "no" and then his hand flew up to cover his mouth...which was deceit

Janus with a flower crown around his hat

Janus has a snek in his hat and its never ending...like a mandelbrot fractal

Logan info dumps about space and Janus is the only one who actually, truly listens

Are there healthy distractions has more analogical....

Logan will carry around a notebook and pen/pencil at all times....especially for Virgil...like...when he gets a panic or anxiety attack...logan will give him the notebook so he doesnt have to talk

Janus has several different bowler hats and the other sides (besides logan and maybe patton?) will steal all of them and hide them

Logan and Roman will watch movies together, purely to rewrite it....virgils there to have a disney debate with Roman

When Thomas gets really anxious, virgil will kick down a door and go through a window, feet first

they are their own villians

whats virgils, janus' and remus' biggest fears? Logan

All of the sides have/need glasses but Logan and Patton are the only ones who actually...wear them...obviously

For virgils birthday, Logan got Virgil a puzzle book (or Christmas)

Virgil met his new years resolution (like...he got it done)

*has to watch beauty and the beast for this one* technically....beauty and the beast isnt Stockholm Syndrom......belle traded herself so her father could be free....the beast never took maurice....he wondered into the castle by himself and got...captured....sooo technically...idk where im going with this ajsjxh

Virgil has a crap ton of funko pops

Everytime Patton goes into Virgils room, he'll come out scared of the curtains

When Roman said "you are nothing compared to the others" and his hand went over his mouth....was that deceit? like....him not wanting Thomas to even know about him or remus yet..or orange side?

"Im not evil" foreshadowing for remus

Patton can yell "i will physically fight you" as loud as logan can yell "falsehood"

Virgil is a Ravenclaw (i think we all knew this tho ajsjdh)

When Logan actually shows sadness (the like....one time he did) the other sides will give him validation (telling him hes right, he cool etc.) and just...give him love (they will also do this with the other sides too)

Logan will pop up and ask Thomas about the picture with circles that is hanging above Thomas's (?) couch.

Logan has yet to actually solve a problem by himself...... hes either used information they already knew, or needed/used the others help (sorry)

Virgils the only one Logans said "sorry" to....he usually says "apologies"

The dark sides have pan(heh) pancake and pillow fights (the darks sides....remus and Virgil and janus just stands there until something gets thrown at him....then he joins)

Every year for their birthday, Roman and Logan will always get a jar (or more) of crofters

Every time Logan has crofters (like...pb&j or toast or smth idkkkkk) he'll keep making puns for an hour straight (gay)

Virgil watched dhmis and got weirded out for like....a week

When Janus is around, Patton and Roman will make a bunch of snake puns and janus will stand there like :|

Logan is allergic to anything "sweet" like....butterfingers

Did....did you guys know...that the cast of sander sides....is...Thomas sanders....i just learned that....thats...crazy wow....when were you guys gonna tell me? (fun fact.....every fricken time thomas yawned in dwit....i yawned)

Virgil researches architecture or like.....studies it?

Remus and/or Janus is/are (?) a ghost....ok remus...

Remus is actually really smart and gets along with Logan pretty well

Virgil was the least...like...responsive(?) after forbidden fruit

Virgils eyes are more red in dwit (could just be Thomas and that he was tired or smth)

Whenever Remus walks past Patton, he'll take off his ears but then put them back on when he goes out of Pattons sight (english who?)

In the bloopers (not really but shhhhh) or smth when Remus knocked Logans teeth out, logan said "figuwawivwy"

Whenever Virgil "sounds the alarm" he (and maybe patton and remus) will go "weoo" for a few minutes as loud as he can

Logan has a baymax plush

Janus is obsessed with Hocus Pocus (despite Logan pointing out all the inconsistencies)

In clbg when patton said yes to thomas when he asked if there are anymore sides that were hidden away from him, he glanced at virgil (and logan) and virgil got super uncomfortable

Janus will always say the "you better watch out" vine

Everytime Logan has an idea, he'll say lightbulb out loud...like...just..."lightbulb" and the other sides just stare at him like.."wha-???" until he explains

#sanders sides #logan sanders #roman sanders #virgil sanders #patton sanders #deceit sanders #remus sanders #janus sanders #elena speaks #ignore elena #long post #sanders sides angst

WIP Prep Tag

I was tagged by @leicawri,@montevena and @ashes-to-sen. Thank you all so much for tagging me and I’m so sorry for taking so long to do this! I’m gonna do the tag for The Falling Sun Bakery.

And I’m tagging: @writeouswriter, @omgbrekkerkaz, @priyaele, @pilipalea and anyone else who wants to do this1

FIRST LOOK

1. Describe your novel in 1-2 sentences (elevator pitch)

Two twins meet a cheerful witch and delve deeper into the magic present in their world, but just as they seem to be settling into their new home a mysterious threat looms in the distance.

2. How long do you plan for your novel to be? (Is it a novella, single book, book series, etc.)

I plan to make it into a duology.

3. What is your novel’s aesthetic?

Running around in an open field, reading under the sun, spending a whole afternoon trying to make croissants, whispered spells, warm hugs, the buzz of rumors making their way through the city, fear bubbling up in your chest at the unknown, the sound of cutting fresh made bread, sitting in a room surrounded by books written in languages you don’t know

4. What other stories inspire your novel?

Definitely the feel Studio Ghibli films give you, especially Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away. I grew up watching them with my family so I think I’ve always wanted to write this sort of more light-hearted and fun fantasy type novel.

5. Share 3+ images that give a feel for your novel

MAIN CHARACTER

6. Who is your protagonist?

Sarina and Amalie Collins are the two protagonists of this story, although Evie plays a huge role as well.

7. Who is their closest ally?

In Dreter probably Evie and Alden since they’re the first people they meet and become friends with because their stores are right in front of each other.

8. Who is their enemy?

In the big picture their enemy is Noah Hughes and his followers (would he even call them his followers? he was no idea what he’s doing) but obviously there’s more to that and Noah is kind of being manipulated by someone else but shhhhh that’s a secret.

9. What do they want more than anything?

For Sarina it’s to finally feel at home somewhere (preferably in Dreter).

For Amalie it’s to feel like she has a real purpose.

For Evie it’s to feel safe and not have the need to pack up everything every 5 years and move.

10. Why can’t they have it?

Sarina is constantly doubting what people think about her and refuses to completely settle down somewhere until she feels like she knows everything about the place.

Amalie thought her purpose would be to take over the family’s bakery but when they suddenly move to Dreter she begins to rethink what she truly wants to do.

Evie feels very accepted by the city of Dreter but because of a past experience she doesn’t like to stay in any place for too long out of fear that something might change in the way people view witches/magic.

11. What do they wrongly believe about themselves?

Sarina believes she always has to be strong and hide her weaknesses from others.

Amalie believes she is too selfish.

Evie believes she brings danger to people’s lives.

12. Draw your protagonist! (Or share a description)

Sarina is a girl of around 17/18 years old with white skin and pink undertones. She has wavy, dark black hair that she lets grow down to her mid-back and usually ties back, along with dark brown eyes. Her skin gets easily burned and because of this her mother usually forces her to wears a sunhat. Alden likes to point out that she has two dimples on her right cheek that appear when she smiles. Sarina is the tallest out of the three.

Amalie is the same age as Sarina and is the same skin color as Sarina, although she pushes towards warmer undertones . She has shoulder length blonde hair that is more curled and blue eyes. She rarely wears the sunhats her mother insists on her wearing as well and thus has more freckles lining her face. Evie says they make her look like a Leichtlins’ Lily. Amalie, although she refuses to talk about it, is the shortest.

Evie is the eldest of the three, about to be 19, with black skin and rose undertones. She has black, coily hair that reaches her shoulders. She constantly has paint stains on her arms and aprons as she likes to paint in her down time. She also has many small moles dotting her hands.

PLOT POINTS

13. What is the internal conflict?

Can we ever feel like we have fulfilled a purpose? Will we ever feel truly secure in one place? Can we accept changes or will there always be pushback from certain people?

14. What is the external conflict?

Noah Hughes and his band of followers.

15. What is the worst thing that could happen to your protagonist?

Death or being driven out of Dreter.

17. Do you know how it ends?

Yes, but you guys don’t get to know that yet sorry hehe.

BITS AND BOBS

18. What is the theme?

Friendship, family, justice, the uselessness of war, the inevitableness of change

19. What is a recurring symbol?

I usually find the symbols as I write so I have no set ones so far.

20. Where is the story set? (Share a description!)

In the city of Dreter, a pretty big port city in the country of Adania. It is known for its cuisine, colorful shops and buildings, interesting and diverse flora as well as the kind locals. It is a very cheerful place, which is one of the main reasons Evie, and later the Collins family, chose to settle there.

21. Do you have any images or scenes in your mind already?

Yeah! Mainly of the beginning and the ending and some of the middle.

22. What excited you about this story?

Everything really but I am looking forward to developing the characters and world.

23. Tell us about your usual writing method!

Um, I just write I guess. I usually outline what’s gonna happen in the chapter and just go and see how some things might change while I write.

i was tagged by @quiescentwriting, who is amazing, so thank you so much!! Guidelines: Answer these 12 questions in the voice and manner of your character(s) and then tag as many or as few writeblrs as you would like. Following in her example, i’ll answer this for Teng, with comments made by Jun, from my wip like all things out of season. 1. What did you have for breakfast?

Teng: Breakfast? Ah, well, that is an interesting question... I certainly got up in time for breakfast -- Jun: I don’t even think you woke up at all yesterday. Teng: What nonsense! I was entirely awake! My eyes were wide open! What do you think I was doing, just rolling around in bed staring at the ceiling while sitting in my own filth for the whole day? Do you think I’m that sort of person? Jun: ... Teng: What’s with that silence?? that sounds more like an accusation! Oi, don’t ignore me!

2. Who was the last person you crushed on?

Jun: (sniggers) Teng: This is a little embarrassing... Jun: Wasn’t the last person you crushed on that girl from the supermarket? Teng: Well... she was really hardworking and diligent... she seems like she’ll be a wonderful person to know... Jun: Or was it that girl who served you coffee in the tavern the other morning?Teng: I mean... she was so cute... and pretty... and kind... Jun: Oh? Or could it be... Teng: ... Jun: Ha, it’s Zhen isn’t it? It’s Zhen! You fell for her once you tasted her food! But it’s weird, she wasn’t even the one to offer it to you. If you should have a crush on anyone, shouldn’t it be Shou? Teng: Shhh!!! Jun: Also, she threw a fish at you before. Could it be? Are you that sort of person? Do you enjoy this type of abus -- Teng: Shhhhh! No, I don’t! And don’t go spoiling what happens in the novel! We’ve gone through this before!

3. What is your favorite read? Teng: ... Jun: ... Teng: Well, there was something that I read recently -- Jun: Your thoughts don’t count. Teng: O-Of course! I mean, uh, I was reading something recently that was very interesting -- Jun: The nonsense you hear from Shou’s mouth doesn’t count either. Teng: I mean, y-yes, but... Jun: Teng doesn’t read. There’s nothing embarrassing about that. What’s embarrassing is his pants. Teng: Yeah, there’s nothing -- wait, what? What’s wrong with my pants? Don’t leave me hanging like this! Did you let me walk around the streets the entire day like that??? Jun???? Jun!!!

4. Do you put both socks on first, or one sock, one shoe?

Jun: Bold of you to assume that he wears socks at all Teng: Stop saying things like that! I do! I do!! I wear both socks first! Jun: He’s the type that can’t multitask. If he wears one sock and one shoe, chances are he’ll forget about both the sock and the shoe for his other foot. Teng: No I won’t! What kind of person do you think I am???

5. What can you cook perfectly?

Teng: I am actually a pretty good cook. Jun: Since when? Teng: I’m especially adept at cooking fried rice. It is actually an art, you know. People think that fried rice is basically just rice fried with leftover ingredients from the dinner from the night before. Jun: That’s exactly what it is Teng: But I’ve made an art out of it. It is a meticulous, painfully-crafted process that no one can replicate. It is magnificent! It is brilliant! I don’t let others taste it too often, because once they get a bite out of my infamous fried rice, they’ll be ensnared forever. They wouldn’t be able to live without having another bite! That is far too high a responsibility for me to hold, I do not want to lead people astray in this manner. Jun: He has to cook his own meals because there is never any food left when he comes to dinner. And no one dares to eat his fried rice. You wouldn’t want to either, if you knew what was inside. Teng: I cook it with all of my heart! You wouldn’t get another plate of fried rice made more lovingly! Jun: That’s precisely it. 6. If you could choose a pet, what would it be?

Teng: Ah, I have always wanted a pet. I think any would be fine, I love all animals! Jun: Funny, though. I don’t think you can get one. Teng: Why not? Jun: I don’t think a bear can own pets.

7. How is your relationship with your parents?

Teng: I actually don’t remember them too well. I mean, my past was a long time ago. If I don’t remember them, I think it’s probably one of two things: it’s probably so average that I can’t remember anything about it, or i don’t have parents in the first place. Jun: You forgot a third option. 8. How do you feel about marriage?

Jun: Uh oh, you shouldn’t bring that up. Teng: Marriage? You’re asking me about marriage? Jun: Now he’s going to spend the rest of the day lamenting about his lack of romantic prospects. Are you happy now?

9. Do you fold your clothes before bed?

Jun: Ha. Teng: Shut up, Jun! Yes I do! I am actually a very neat person! I don’t know why Jun is trying to suggest otherwise!

10. What does your dream home look like? And where would it be?

Teng: Well... Jun: ... Teng: I think I already have everything that I want.

11. What’s your worst habit?

Teng: The biggest regret I have right now is bringing Jun into the gang. That’s my worst habit. I bring all these terrible men in and I have to suffer for it. Jun: That’s not a habit. Teng: I should have left him alone that day. I shouldn’t have been kind enough to open my safe for him. Jun: I thought you said no spoilers? Teng: I shouldn’t have allowed him to hold me at knife-point and -- Jun: Okay, next question!

12. What do you do for a living and how do you feel about your job?

Teng: I guess I’m a gang leader. I don’t know. I never really thought about making a gang. I just wanted to build a home for people to live in. Jun: You literally go around threatening people and you’re saying you didn’t mean to make a gang? Teng: I never meant to threaten people! Jun: Then how would you explain cornering a poor female shop assistant and demanding for her name and address and the right to a date? Teng: I never demanded anything from her! I just... you know that I don’t function well in front of women! You know that I can’t speak to them! Actually... it was you! You made it worse! You started counting down from 5 seconds to force her into a decision! Jun: (shrugs) I was just following your lead. Teng: Shou was right, it’s really you! You have been the one sabotaging my chances! -- interview abruptly ends -- Alright so that was fun! I’m going to tag the lovelies on my tag list (ask to be on / off) @cabaretofwords @inked-waves @latechickadee @kidsarentallwrite && other lovelies @insearchof-solace @rktho-writes @inexorableblob @focusdumbass @ofvisitorsthefairest

No Matter

A/N: I know it is super late (stupid computer) but here is my submission for @tilltheendwilliwrite challenge! My phrase was “I love you the most-est” If peeps like it, i have an idea for a series :3

Word Count: 3,055

Pairing: Young!Loki X Young!OFC

Song: https://youtu.be/sLcrxhE_xQw (Listen with the dance >:3)

It has been a week since my mother brought me along with her on her “errand”. Why I was brought along I will never truly know.

She said it was to get me out of the palace. That I couldn't spend all of my time in the library. That there was more to lift then magic. Ha! Says her. She is the one who taught me magic in the first place.

Now look at me. I have been on Midgard with my mother, Queen Frigga, for a week now. My mother’s errand involves visiting an old friend of hers. That is all she told me.

________________________________________________________________

Earlier

“But mother!” I questioned, “what am I to do while we are here?,” my brow furrowed in thought. “Actually a better question would be is how long will we be here?”

Chuckling, my mother put both hands unto my shoulders and replied “my child, among the other things i must take care of here, I will also be visiting my long time friend” smiling, she pushes a lock of my hair behind my ear “I have not seen him in ages, so we shall be here for a midgardian month.” She turns then and resumes walking toward our destination. “But while we are here, you can be as children regularly are here” gesturing with her hand, she says over her shoulder “free of responsibility and training. Something different then the library that is for certain.”

________________________________________________________________

So here I am, invisible while watching the other children play. Mother says I look 12 to the midgardians but I choose not to interact with them if I don't have to. I would rather observe how different they are from me. Or better yet from Thor and his rag tag bunch of friends. For everyone will be different from me.

‘It is a good thing I learned this invisibility spell’ I thought growing bored with watching the other children. ‘Else I would have to endure those sniveling children’ suppressing a shiver I looked up at the sky. Continuing to walk I sigh ‘Well at least being here allows me to learn about other things.’ I smile ‘The sky here is so blue and clear, unlike Asgard's blend of orange and gold. I wonder ho-’

My thoughts were interrupted as someone suddenly colliding with me, thus sending us both to the ground, while I landed on my back with my arms around them in reflex.

Groaning, I lift my head and peer down at the being who knocked me over. I was met with a breathtaking color of vibrant, rustic red color. Then when I thought my lungs held no more air, a pair of light green eyes looked into my emerald ones.

The girl on my chest gasp and sputtered a “sorry” as she hurriedly got off of me. For some reason I was sad for the loss of contact. “Oh my goodness,” she said standing, “i-i am so sorry your highness!!” Reaching out, she helps me stand by pulling on my arm sleeve. “Are you okay?” She is patting my tunic at this point, ridding it of any dirt.

Blinking, I seem to have been drawn back to the current situation. Scowling I stop her from patting my tunic “ yes I am quite alright.” Looking her up and down, I notice her simple blue dress and cloth shoes “ it seems you are alright as well I assume? And why did you call me your highness? This is the first time I have met you.”

Blushing a light pink, she starts to rapidly reply “ o-oh well you see my master told me that his friend Lady Frigga would be visiting from a far off land with her son and that they were considered royalty there and that him and I were the only ones that know but that's okay and well it kinda slipped and are you sure you are alright because I did not see you there an-” I stopped her rant by placing a hand on her mouth. “ okay okay I get it!” Signing I continue “please just breathe.” after waiting a few moments I ask “Better?” She nods “Okay, I am going to remove my hand then.”

I let my hand drop from her lips and notice how they were a light pink. My brows furrow slightly ‘why am I noticing these things about a mere mortal?!’ Hearing a shuffle in front of me, I am brought back to the current moment. “Um y-your highness?” The girl asks “ are you sure you are okay?” She then reaches out and places the back of her hand on my forehead while standing on her tip toes “your face looks a little red.

Making a face, I grab her wrist and move her hand “ I assure you I am fine.” Dropping her wrist I say “ and my name is Loki, not your highness.” Huffing I look down.

“O-oh we-well then my name is Lilith you-” she begins to say but catches herself “ I mean Loki.” She curtsies. Looking up, I scowl at this. “ if I am not letting you call me ‘your highness’ then there is no reason for that either.” I grab her shoulders and stand her up. Being this close to Lilith brings a strange feeling to my chest. I let go and back up quickly.

“So Lilith was it? What were you doing walking alone in the forest?” Arching an eyebrow, I look around. “Shouldn't you be with the other children?” When I turn back to her I notice she is playing with the edge of her dress.

“Well you see, the others don't necessarily like me around,” she bites her bottom lip then “ They say I am cursed since I have red hair and have no family.” She looks up and smiles then “but that is okay! My master takes care of me!” Dropping her dress, she puts her hands behind her back “and with why I was out here...well I was looking for the boy my master told me about. I thought maybe I could show you around on the morrow?” She blushes at that and looks down again.

For some reason I did not want her looking down. I wanted her to look at me. “ I think I would like that. “ I catch myself saying. But before I berate myself, she looks up at me. I hope to never forget the sight. Her eyes seemed to sparkle like polished gem stones with excitement.

“Really!?” She reaches out to grab my hands “ oh that's wonderful! Then we shall meet here in the afternoon, so younhave time to rest and I can plan for our big day.” Dropping my hands, she clasps hers together and says “Oh then I must go now! There is so much to do.” Moving so fast I didn't know how to respond, she gives a peck to my cheek and starts to run away “I shall see you tomorrow. Goodbye Loki!”

I stood in my spot for a long time with my hand on my cheek. When I finally came to, I wondered aloud “what just..happened?”

_______________________________________________________________

Later that evening

“Ah my child,” Frigga says opening her arms open for her son, “How was your day?” After embracing her son, she pulls back and looks at him. “Good I hope?”

Thinking for a moment “It was fine mother.” He replies. “I think I made a friend.” He leans forward and rests his head on her chest. “Oh?” She questions “That's is great my love!” She smiles and holds him tight “See? I told you coming with me would be worth it.”

Closing his eyes, he smiles as well, “yes mother, of course.”

In a house not to far

“Lilith my dear!” Her master asked, “How was your day? Was it eventful?” Coming down the steps, Lilith smooths out her dress and stands in front of her master. “Yes sire it was! I made a new friend and planned to show them around tomorrow if that is alright with you?” she asks hopefully.

Smiling down at the young girl knowingly he says “why of course my dear!” Tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, he looks into her shining green eyes. “ you have fun yes? Just finish your chores. “

Gasping in happiness, she hugs her master before dashing off. “Yes master! Thank you! “

The man watches as the young girl runs off smiling at her new found energy. He then sighs and walks to a far off room of his home. Going into the room, he closes the door behind him and looks towards the wall of mirrors that holds all of what seems to be events in each one. Walking up to one mirror and placing his hand on the edge he says,

“My dear girl..”

___________________________________________________________

So the next 2 and a half weeks seem to fly by. After the first day together, with Lilith showing Loki around, they became inseparable. The young trickster god and lonely midgardian made quite the pair. They brought qualities out in each other that they couldn't fathom. Where she was quiet and shy, he made her loud and energetic. Where he was easily angered and cold, she made him happy and warm.

The All-Mother noticed this one day, as she watched from one of her masters many mirrors. Smiling he turned and watched through others. These mirrors showed events that already happened and were inevitable.

Turning to her old friend, Frigga once again asks “ Are you positive there isnt anything that can be done?” Looking up fro. One of his many tomes, the God of Time takes his long time friends hand and pats it.

“My dear Frigga, if I could avoid what is meant to be I would.” Turning back to the scroll he sighs and thinks ‘I wish i could avoid it all’

_____________________________________________________________

During the 3rd week Loki was there, Lilith pulled him behind her at a quick pace. “Lilith where are we going?” He asked. “Hush Loki!” She responded “you will we when we get there!”

Smiling while being pulled behind this small girl made Loki think ‘and to think, this was the stuttering girl I met weeks ago’

He was brought out of his thoughts by Lilith as she pulled him down behind a bush. “Get down Loki!” She whispered. Looking over the bush, Loki sees two people standing together. Brows furrowing he starts to speak “Lilith wha-" he was cut off by Lilith putting her hand against his mouth. “shhhhh" she motioned toward the couple “your gonna get us caught”

Loki turned back to the couple. He watched and listened to the words they were saying. He blushed slightly and looked toward Lilith. Clearing his throat he questions “Lilith, why are we watching a proposal dance?” hearing her quietly gasp, Lilith looks down. “um..” he can see her start to tremble “w-well you see…” suddenly Lilith gets up and runs away from their hiding spot.

Confused in the sudden mood shift, Loki goes after his friend. “Lilith!” he yells as he catches up to her. “Lilith stop!” Loki reaches out and grabs her arm, bringing her to him in an embrace. “Lilith,” he says panting, “what is wrong?”

Sniffling, Lilith buries her face into his chest until she is calm enough to look up at him. “I am so sorry Loki..” she says.

Tilting his head, Loki reaches up and wipes away a stray tear. “But why Lilith? You were so excited to see them, and then I ask why and your mood completely shifts.” resting a hand in her cheek he inquires further “Why?”

Tearing back up she cries “because that is the only way I'll experience a true one!” seeing a confused look on his face she continues “ I am cursed remember! Even adults say so!” hanging her head she sighs “even if I do marry, I will never have that.” pushing back from him she wipes her face.

“ I am sorry Loki, i-i have to go.” she turns and leaves. Loki, stunned by the confession by the 10 year old girl, unable to stop her. Frowning, I decide to return to my mother for the evening.

Some time later

“Ah Loki!” The All-Mother says “there you are my son.” putting down her things she asks “How was your day with Lilith? Fun I hope?” Loki looks to his mother and then to the items behind her. Making a confused face for what seemed like the umpteenth time that day Loki responds “ it was...something. Mother what are you doing?” Loki walks towards her things that were being placed away.

Giving him a sad look, Frigga continues to pack “Oh Loki, I have finished my business on Midgard.” reaching out to place a hand on his shoulder, she squeezes it reassuringly. “But,” he says “ it's early still,” he picks up up a scroll.

“We aren't supposed to leave until next week..” Looking down, he thinks of Lilith and how she had acted. Taking the scroll, Frigga places it in her luggage “ I know my child, but we must go home.” bringing her son into her arms, she holds him tight.

Loki rests his head on her chest and begins to say “ But Lilith-" carding her fingers though her son's hair, Frigga interrupts “ I know my dear, the curse of being a god is long life. I am sorry” closing his eyes, Loki thinks for a moment then pushes away from his mother.

“Mother we can't leave yet! Please!” he begs.

“But my child we-" Frigga begins “No mother! Please!” he begs again “ I must say goodbye.”

After looking into her son's emerald green eyes, The All-Mother knew she must let him go to his friend. Sighing she replies “alright my child, go to her. I will have your things packed.” brushing his hair to the side she finishes “ and when you are ready, Heimdall will take us home.”

___________________________________________

It took him a while to find her, but when he did he couldn't be happier. For in his time here and when he found out he must leave, Loki knew what the strange feeling in his chest has been. He might be young in for standards, but even he knew what love was. He only knew her for 3 weeks but it felt like he knew her for a lot longer.

So when he found her on the cliff, there was only one thing he could do. He starts to whistle.

(Loki walking up to Lilith)

I'll swim and sail on savage seas With ne'er a fear of drowning And gladly ride the waves of life If you will marry me No scorching sun Nor freezing cold Will stop me on my journey If you will promise me your heart And love

(Lilith turning toward him with a small smile) And love me for eternity My dearest one, my darling dear Your mighty words astound me But I've no need of mighty deeds When I feel your arms around me (Loki begins to dance with her) But I would bring you rings of gold I'd even sing you poetry ( Oh, would you? *Lilith giggling*) And I would keep you from all harm If you would stay beside me (Lilith) I have no use for rings of gold I care not for your poetry I only want your hand to hold (Loki) I only want you near me (Loki and Lilith twirling around) To love, to kiss, to sweetly hold For the dancing and the dreaming Through all life's sorrows and delights I'll keep your laugh inside me I'll swim and sail on savage seas With ne'er a fear of drowning And gladly ride the waves of life If you will marry me

Both Loki and Lilith were panting after singing together. Both have smiles on their faces.

Placing a hand on his cheek, Lilith asks “Loki, d-do you mean it?” she bites her lower lip with tears in her eyes, “ I mean I know we are only young bu-" before she could finish her sentence, Loki leans forward and places a chaste kiss upon her lips.

Drawing back, he replies “of course I am sure!” cupping her face, he places his forehead against hers “ you have made me live more in these last 3 weeks then I have in all my life.” Looking down he sighs. “which pains me to tell you this.

Gripping his hands, Lilith nuzzles him “you must leave Yes? My master told me how long you would be here so I was ready.” sniffling she continues “ as ready as I could be.”

Leaning back he says, “ that and..” He paused and takes a feel breath. “ I am a god my heart” he closes his eyes and looks down. “ this could be the last time you see me and...i will live much longer than you.” preparing for the worst, he jumps when she places a kiss on his bowed head.

Lifting his head up, she says “ Oh Loki!” she smiles while tears fall down her cheeks, “ you made me become who I never thought I could be” he wipes her tears away as she continues “ yo-you did what I thought would never happen. I will love you whether you are a prince from a far away land or a god.” placing her head on his chest. “Just don't forget about me.”

Lifting her head from his chest he says, “ I will never forget you,” bringing her close he continued “ for you are my heart a-and I love you.” laughing she kisses him and says “ oh Loki I love you!”

He chuckles and teases “But my dear I love you more.” after kissing her brow, she pulls back and states “ well I love you the most-est"

At that he kissed her again, putting as much emotion as he could behind it. She respond with as much vigor and without them seeing, a bright light appeared around her wrist. When they pulled back, she looked down and with a gasp lifted her left wrist for Loki to see.

“Loki what is this?” showing him the intricate gold design, Loki smiled and pulled her to him once more. “it is something that shows, no matter how far apart we are, you are my heart and I yours.”

My 10 Favourite Matches of 2019

Ok, so I was planning to release this days ago, but school caught up and now everyone is over 2019. But I’m still gonna finish this list anyway cause I said so. Shhhhh... let me have this...

So, I see a lot of people talking about the best wrestlers or best matches or best promotions of the 2010s. But I only just got back into wrestling in 2019, so I don’t feel as though I can talk about the entire decade. Instead, I decided to make a list of my favourite matches of just 2019. Now, these aren’t the BEST matches, these is my FAVOURITE matches, and thus subject to my own opinion. And obviously spoilers for each of the matches ahead. Got it? Good.

Honourable Mentions:

Grizzled Young Veterans vs Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) vs South Wales Subculture (NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff)

The Women’s Wargames Match (NXT TakeOver: Wargames (2019))

A-Kid vs Will Ospreay (Triple W Total Rumble 9)

Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley (AEW All Out)

Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks (WWE Hell in a Cell (2019))

10: Jon Moxley vs Tomohiro Ishii (NJPW G1 Climax 2019 - Day 6 Jul 19th 2019)

I liked Dean Ambrose. I love Jon Moxley. So, what happens when you put one of the most legitimately badass wrestlers in the world today with perennial fellow badass, Tomohiro Ishii? A straight up brawl between two of the best brawlers in the business. Moxley was at his violent and unhinged finest, while also refining that brutality in a more serious and direct manner. We even got to see a more technical side of Moxley that we weren’t presented in WWE’s “sports entertainment” landscape. Also, ISHII DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE THROUGH A TABLE, ISHII DOES NOT DO THAT GUYS, YOU JUST DO NOT SEE THAT, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT. Ishii is one of those wrestlers in NJPW that I instantly connected with, and he worked his ass off in this match, and basically the entire G1 Climax. And with a match like this, I would like to see him in more. Amazing.

9: PAC vs Ben-K (Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival (2019))

So, Disclaimer; I do not watch Dragon Gate. I’m sure I should, but I don’t. That being said, I absolutely loved this match. From what I’m told, there was another match at Kobe World that might have been better than this one. But if I’m being honest, it would have to be REALLY great to top this one. Ben-K, through just one match, became one of my favourite wrestlers today. Dragon Gate is a promotion primarily made up of Junior Heavyweights, so it’s somewhat strange to see a wrestler like Ben-K among their mix, as he’s primarily a power and ground based wrestler. Nonetheless, his style was completely in-sync with the high flying PAC. PAC is a sadistic son of a b%&* throughout the match, as usual. However, when he lost he made sure he put Ben-K over HARD, even risking his stable’s own credibility to do so. If you want a great underdog and redemption story, this is definitely one to watch.

8: The Revival vs Undisputed Era (O'Reilly & Fish) (NXT Tapings: Nov. 20, 2019)

Anyone who’s seen this match will know where I’m coming from. A sleeper hit on the road to Survivor Series, everyone who recognized the abilities of those involved knew something big was going to happen. Despite, traditionally being Heels, The Revival were the de facto Babyfaces in this match, with the single goal of showing the world why they were so big in NXT. And they did, in a showcase of Tag team wrestling at its finest. Matched up with the technical excellence of the Undisputed Era, this match produced GOLD. Its all the fixings of a great Revival match: blind tags, fluid tag team moves, climactic hot tags. All topped off with a surprising chemistry with the almost always excellent Undisputed Era. I love you Revival. Now please go somewhere else to do your thing. I would like to see it.

7: Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole (bay bay) (NXT TakeOver: New York)

This was the first NXT TakeOver show I had ever watched, as I had just missed the Phoenix show and hadn’t had the chance to watch it before the Wrestlemania weekend. That being said, what an introduction to TakeOvers this was. The entire New York card was probably my favourite WWE PPV of the year (save for one other NXT PPV mentioned) and this match was just delicious sugary icing on the cake. And I don’t even like icing that much. Johnny Gargano is by far one of the best Babyfaces in the world and draws sympathy like no other, most people recognize this. But what this match did differently than his other matches was introduce us to his uncanny ability to suspend you disbelief. And Adam Cole was an integral foil for Johnny, even if it was never planned, as I don’t think Tommaso could have gotten this out of Johnny as he was only one man. But when the rest of the Undisputed Era came out to assist Cole, Johnny took down all of them, and you believed it possible. It wasn’t a cop out like we see so many times on the main roster and its main event scene. It was genuine, heartfelt, underdog resilience that we hoped, we knew, and we saw pay off in the end.

6: WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match (WWE Elimination Chamber (2019))

I know, I know, many people prefer Kofi Kingston’s Wrestlemania triumph over “The New” Daniel Bryan. However, for personal preference, I enjoyed Kofi’s Elimination Chamber Showcase just a little bit more. Essentially, this is where KofiMania started. Kofi was an incidental figure in the match due to Mustafa Ali getting injured, but he nonetheless seized his opportunity and put it all on the line for one of the greatest matches of his life. This isn’t to say that the other members of the match didn’t play their part either; Daniel Bryan may have been more conniving than ever before, Samoa Joe was a literal machine during his time in the match, Jeff Hardy was at his high flying best, AJ Styles put his technical excellence on display once again, and Randy Orton actually felt threatening for once! However, this was Kofi’s night, and this is where it all began.

5: Rhea Ripley vs Shayna Baszler (NXT Tapings: Dec. 18, 2019)

As of this writing, Shayna Baszler is basically headed to the main roster, so it was almost a shoe-in that Rhea Ripley would be walking out of 2019 as the new NXT Women’s Champion. However, the skill and strength of this match was making you forget about that and question whether or not Rhea could actually get the job done. But she did! And it was great! Shayna’s new style lends itself as both punishing to her victims but also rewarding to those who know what they’re up against. And for a while, Rhea was especially rewarded for her close understanding of Shayna and her ability to read her out, as seen in her previous match with her a few months earlier and the Women’s Wargames Match. But when that ability was hindered by Shayna when she finally managed to injure Rhea’s arm, you were left on the edge of your seat the entire match worrying about the outcome. And that’s what a match is supposed to do, even if the outcome is somewhat predictable. Even still, sometimes its best to just give fans what they want, and that’s exactly what they did.

4: Tomohiro Ishii vs Shingo Takagi (NJPW G1 Climax 2019 - Day 16 Aug 8th 2019)

I showed this match to a friend who had never watched pro wrestling in his life and had no interest in it. I still showed him this match and he actually had a lot of fun watching it. When you take two big beefy bois and have them run into each other for about 22 minutes, you get this wonderful match. The story of this match is a classic case of one-upmanship, with the two men battering each other while no-selling each others moves throughout much of this match. This is also helped by the fact that these they look like they’re actually hitting each other in the face. One of the hardest hitting matches of the year, this was the Japanese Strong Style at some of its finest with how stiff the strikes were. That’s not to say there wasn’t much technical work in this match either. Nonetheless, I still feel as though this explanation doesn’t do this match justice. It’s still available online, so just go watch it yourself right now. Please.

3: Candice LeRae vs Io Shirai (NXT TakeOver: Toronto (2019))

I’m gonna be honest, this match is kind of helped by the fact that this took place in my home country of Canada. Don’t care, this was a phenomenal match either way. Context: Io Shirai had just turned heel, and Candice LeRae had just been dropped onto her head. Onto a chair. Being honest, she’s probably taken worse bumps on the indies, but still bad though! So Candice wants revenge, and she’s given this match at TakeOver. And it is wrestling at its finest. The story is so simple; one wrestler hurts another wrestler and the two have a match because of it. And it’s made all the better thanks to that match being great. That night in Toronto, LeRae even got more sympathy behind her than Johnny Gargano, who, as noted earlier, is a sympathy magnet. And Io proved herself a heel not through necessarily nefarious means (though there was some of that), but by simply being a fantastic technical wrestler, revived with a new heel persona. Made all the better by a resilient babyface opponent who Io literally had to choke out in order to put away. Candice LeRae is a tough f*&#ing cupcake, dammit.

2: Walter vs Tyler Bate (NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff)

Another contender for one of the world’s best babyfaces, big strong boi Tyler Bate helped put on my favourite match at my favourite WWE PPV of the year, the ever so underrated NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff. Walter is one of my favourite wrestlers, and I’m saying that as a guy who probably likes spots a bit too much. His old school catch wrestling style stands out amongst his contemporaries, and know one understands the fundamentals better than him. But what really stood out in this match was actually when he was on the back foot, selling for Tyler in a way that suspended your disbelief. And when Tyler managed to actually LIFT Walter up you really felt as if this David would conquer his Goliath. And when he didn’t you felt genuinely heartbroken, but not cheated. And that’s the important distinction. Thank you boys.

1: Cody vs Dustin Rhodes (AEW Double or Nothing)

Ok, you guys knew this was gonna be here. It’s on most people's lists, but nonetheless, I just loved this match a lot. Even as a kid, I remember not thinking much of Cody Rhodes. Goldust was neat, if a little weird for me as a kid. Like many people, I expected this match to be good and very emotional, but not great. Then it happened, and I was blown away. The buckets of blood, sweat, and tears spilled in this match would in theory be enough to turn some more squeamish eyes away, but it was so powerful that I’m not sure that too many people could actually take their eyes off it. Dustin was there to prove that, even after all these years, this old gunslinger’s still got it, with a technical smoothness to rival even the younger guys on the AEW roster. Meanwhile, Cody proved a dastardly but nonetheless sympathetic, nay empathetic, heelish wrestler who was tortured by his own actions in trying to put down his older brother. Nothing I say could truly capture the beauty of this match, but the sheer fact that I found it beautiful is a large reason why I’ll continue to watch wrestling for a long time to come.
