txt reactions â they get their crush for secret santa âšđš
prompt, I think a cute Christmas request would be like TxT freaking out because they got assigned to be Secret Santa to their crush and have no idea what to give them.
## fluff % gn!reader % wc: 786 [ cheek kiss, cursing, just friends ]
yeonjun is beyond panicked, yes. he is trying to remember anything youâve mentioned you liked or wanted in the past few months. nothing!! he has to consult with your siblings/friends before going to the store. jun doesnât have any clue on what you like đ he is busy so itâs understandable, but ur his crush and after so much of him paying attention to you??? how could he miss it?????? after much panicking and running around for a present, he finally finds something he hopes u like. doubting it all the way back home, at the dorm, while wrapping it, and as he watches u open it that day. to his surprise, you like it!! đ he bought u a toaster HWHWIWI he thought it was very simple and how could u go wrong with the cute lil toaster??? jun has very big brain for thinking quickly.
soobin gets u, the person he has the BIGGEST crush on and he has no clue what to get u.. prob procrastinates on figuring out a present ngl, then he finds out that he only has a few days left until ur all getting together to pass out gifts .. well đââď¸đââď¸đââď¸đââď¸ hes off to find a gift and most of the shops r busy so soobins like FUCK FML đđđ˝ but he settles on a gift he supposes ull like and wraps it rly cute to make it sorta better???? the day comes and heâs confident, but when u open up the package and pull out the cutest little christmas teddy bear, ur like âthis is definitely ur doing soobin đĽşđĽşđĽşâ soobin is like ???? U KNOW HIM LIKE THAT?? MEEP soobin is screaming on the inside and hes like YES i did get that đ u give him the biggest hug like EVER and heâs ecstatic wow heâs smelling ur shampoo and all of that heâs never been this close
beomgyu,, he will buy the present on the way there đ in the mall and late as he shops around. 100% gets distracted though, but grabs a few things and he is ready to go. he got the cutest lil gift bag and he was very pleased with his present. gyu happy feet dance because he loves his present now đ heâs bringing it in and he sees u, heâs like, Fuck this song present is HORRIBLE đââď¸đââď¸ at that moment he wants to RUN but he already put down his present and is waiting for everyone to come in and receive their gifts. ur opening it .. beomgyu is sweating despite the fact that its not that warm in the room??? u pull out a headband, two little santas attached to it and u just started laughing đ§ its so CUTE but he thinks ur laughing for the wrong reason,, u put it on and are smiling && heâs just thinking, wow i NAILED it.
so taehyun i think would be more like ... well .. canât go wrong with a giftcard! nothing money canât save đ idk why but he seems very practical to me. ur like đ§ when u see the small ass little card, but like a 100$ giftcard for ur fav coffee shop???? fuck yea, but who TF would know ur fav coffee shop? only taehyun cuz u drag him there almost everyday đ u give him the biggest hug and are like, âomgomgomgomgomg ilyilyily taehyun thats so attractive of u to buy me thisâ taehyun is deadass is this emoji > đŁđŁđŁ, this bitch rly about to make my heart burst if they donât stop! âđ˝ heâs so happy to see u happy đ nah he loves u right now and getting a hug and seeing u so excited??? u just stole his heart
huening kai is not ok with this,, he is very not okay because u r the person who he daydreams about and now he has to buy a good gift for u???????????? very not okay. he would be out shopping right after he got assigned you, probably going to eight different stores to find a gift. hyuka is so worried after his first purchase, he wants to make u happy and he wants u to have a rly good christmas!!!! heâs the most like.. in the christmas spirit. i feel like he loves christmas a LOT đ§ so heâs a pro at wrapping his presents and makes it all pretty just for uuu. u get it and ur like I DONT WANNA OPEN IT ITS TOO PRETTY 𼺠MEEP hes so happy UAHWJWOWO huening kai got u a ... hairbrush? đ§ oh itâs a headscratcher. it is a very weird gift but u use it for everyone to see đ u kinda like it it seems??? hehe itâs a cute thought rly, u appreciate and he likes the compliments đ he calls that a #SUCCESS

Mass Effect Initiation thoughts
In short: this book is actually really good, N.K. Jemisin is, as we all know, an excellent writer! Itâs the story of how Cora met Alec Ryder and joined the Initiative, and it has SO much good good SAM content and I am full of emotions.Â
- poor cora is so continually out of her depth, I want to give her a hug. the points made about her in the main game are true though -- she is not ready for leadership yet. (and thatâs fine! she does much better with something or someone to belong to and that is so Valid. sheâs an honorable Loyal Knight!!! one of the sexiest things to be, as we all know)
I think Iâll actually like her a lot more on this new playthrough now -- she must have been quite hard to write compellingly in the game because at the end of the day sheâs really very straightforward and honest and loyal, itâs quite hard to uh âhideâ things in her character Â
- alec ryder deadass installed an unspeakably illegal (and did I mention experimental?) AI in coraâs head with no informed consent whatsoever. d A DÂ
(when cora is like âare you actually going to another galaxy because they donât have laws to stop you from committing fully to your craziness in publicâ and alec is like *...maybe so meme* fadsfhkj he does literally say âthis is why Iâm going to another galaxyâ out loud at a later point of the book)
- this book is giving me the good good SAM content ;________; I love SAM so much, the scene where cora thinks sheâs dying and SAM talks to her? when cora asks SAM if heâs okay being connected to her because if heâs sentient that matters to her (cora is a Good)? SAM explicitly having inherited alec ryderâs sense of humour and sarcasm and alec a) doesnât know how it happened, b) distantly thinks he should probably track that process down and turn it off (and never does) and c) regrets all his life choices when his robot kid mercilessly snarks at him and questions his life choices? please bioware give me an me:a sequel with more of this stuff Iâll eat it up with a spoon
- body diverse asari! HUGE BUFF ASARI! Short stocky beautiful matriarch asari with one krogan and one turian trophy husband fast asleep in her bed in the background of a vidcall fkdjshfkjsdlhfkjsdah god I love mass effect with my entire heart
- OLD LADY INFORMATION BROKER VOLUS WORKING OUT OF ILLIUM!!!! this is not a drill what the fUCK this is the coolest shitÂ
- fasdklhfsjkdalfhsdjk okay in Alec Ryder POV:Â âI donât think [Cora] likes me very much.â Which probably meant she had good judgement. AFLSKJDHGJSDKF ALECÂ
he has a weird flip-flopping sense of self -- he is uncompromisingly (one might even say... astoundingly arrogantly) secure in his own intellectual superiority and that most other people are idiots not to be trusted and that he needs to do things himself because others would mess it up, and yet thereâs this clear seam of self loathing around basically everything else about himself too. (You know who he reminds me of, in a more military and less visibly anxious way? Rodney McKay. Alec Ryder is like a slightly unfortunate outcome for a McShep lovechild. I think we just figured out why I have sort of a soft spot for him even though heâs a certifiable dick lol)Â
- this book really makes it hit home that cora grew up incredibly isolated and dirt poor. Iâve seen some people say her backstory is all sunshine and daisies compared to kaidan and especially jackâs, but honestly her background is complicated and fucked up enough that Iâm just like âshit baby :(â all the time
- well I have successfully solved the puzzle about whether alec ryder is an idealist or not; he absolutely is. a grouchy, bad-tempered one with no people skills, but an idealist nonetheless. alec ryder is in fact a storm of 150000 emotions in a trenchcoat, barely held in check by a thin fragile outer shell of iron lol, SAM was absolutely right to say that he was mostly governed by his feelings. (and I mean if anyone would know itâd be SAM I guess). I found some of it sort of sweet actually: he reflects in passing that one of the biggest reliefs of no longer being in the alliance is that heâll never have to risk other peopleâs lives again. he fundamentally wants to build something good to help people live and be happy instead of destroying things. (he also is quite bad at predicting how other people could corrupt and use his innovations precisely to be destructive b/c he doesnât think thatâs the ~*logical*~ thing to do, so... yâknow haha, maybe itâs good he went to another galaxy, the milky way could not contain his chaos)Â
also he thinks a lot about his wife, even though sheâs been dead for years at this point. o u c h (she truly does seem to have been a tether for him in so many ways though -- like a tie to the real world/normalcy/possibly sanity, and thatâs a bit how he still evokes her)
additionally: alec ryder did fistfight at the very least one dude in the line of bureaucratic duty, and perhaps more, enough for SAM to have a list of warning signs ready and at hand jdfsklfhasdjf. he did, very much, throw a dude through a table. (at least itâs implied said dude was an asshole) I LOVE that alecâs SAM is the snarkiest iteration weâve seen and that heâs perfectly willing to call the old man out on his bullshit (alec stresses that SAM is supposed to do what he says at the end of the day, but his SAM is also less subservient and more willing to argue and discuss things than any other we get to see -- and this is of course the SAM Ryder inherits, but I donât think SAM is as confident in being able to read the PC correctly until a bit further into the game and the twin is of course a different person whoâll respond to different things so heâs not quite as... blunt? I guess? in confronting them about things. (the whole concept is just! so! interesting!!) anyway I feel like all of this says something about alecâs parenting style, for better or for worse haha. he sort of tries to be authoritarian but his children (well canonically at least Sara, she references having yelled at him a lot over the years) arenât afraid to fight back or scared of the consequences of disagreeing, so I get the distinct feeling his temper never flared violently like that with his family at all, I think heâs more prone to just pulling away in disapproval.)Â
- I enjoy how casually diverse this book is -- Jemisin has done such a good job making sure especially the human characters are from different backgrounds and places, as they would be lore-wise in the Mass Effect universe, though the games often skew unfortunately white. (andromeda much less so than the trilogy, though) Â
- my heart. is so so soft for the fact that a huge reason for cora to join the initiative is how much she bonds with SAM-E. and I am so sad for her because she just wants someone or something whoâll stay, something that wonât disappear on her without closure like her parents; sheâs so insecure and scared under her competence (and WHY THE FUCK WOULDNâT SHE BE holy shit her parents just. werenât there one day after she left home so she wouldnât accidentally crush their ship with her untrained biotics and kill them all). and she chooses alec and his dream. and then alec goes and FUCKING DIES at the first opportunity Y____________Y alternate universe alec please drink your victor sullivan juice and survive, all these dumb children need you Â
- I am so surprised about how much fond respect alec seems to have for cora and how quickly he developed it. I suppose he has a harder time with his own children because itâs closer to home? he is a complicated man lol, this last part of the book where he shows her the ark and everything is weirdly sweet. again I think he has the potential to be a good dad somewhere in there and that just makes it so much worse that he wasnât. (also he staunchly considers himself still a married man. god help me)Â
theyâve both grown to honestly love their sams T________T fml. (well alec has sort of bound up all of himself, the things he loves and their future in SAM, so itâs a bit more complicated but my point still stands) alec advocating for a consensual synthesis is very heartfelt and convincing; you really want to believe him.
cora seen through someone elseâs eyes is also SO AMAZING!!! after this whole book in her head and she feels so flailing and uncertain and adrift and other people naturally view her completely differently. I especially like alec picking up on her not talking a lot. (I think this is why she responds so well to SAM, whoâll be there always and can be in her head. I wish this part of cora was more evident in the game, the fact that she has this sibling-like connection to SAM seems very important. sequel where both SAM and Ryder grow closer to becoming her actual family? please? I keep begging for ME:A2 into an empty aching void haha)Â
- alec âI donât have time to dieâ ryder still talking about everyone else being idiots as heâs slowly catching fire while saving SAM fhdjfhsdlfhasdhlfsjd he is an asshole but it is hard not to stanÂ
- nO SAM-E D:D:D: oh well at least heâs still alive within SAM, in a way?
- hey. hey you know whatâs fun. alec tries to use his last words and last thoughts to ask cora to tell the kids about ellen being alive this time too. haha. ha. fuck
he consistently goes out thinking of his family despite all his bullshit and Iâm not okay
- CORA IS A PERFECT BODYGUARD/SECOND IN COMMAND AND IâM EMOTIONALÂ
- alec is. surprisingly afraid to hurt people emotionally? he keeps putting off telling cora the bad news about SAM-E, to SAMâs stated disapproval lol (I must repeat again: I love SAM so so much). this supports my thesis that in his personal life heâs avoidant rather than confrontational/aggressive. (professionally... again, he did very much throw a man through a table)Â
- man I hope we some day get SAM being this comfortably close and sarcastic with Ryder too. thinking about SAM-E and the small differences between him and uh SAMÂ âprimeâ it really must have been a huge thing for him too to become someone else, especially after the last person died like that. and he kind of has no choice but to experience that loss and death intimately. (now that I think about it thatâs. fucked up, man. he literally felt alec go like it happened to himself.)Â
If I were to summarize the differences between the SAMs we have seen, coraâs SAM-E seems younger, more exuberant, shyer and more -- whatâs a non-shitty word for needy haha? itâs very firmly established that cora longs to feel needed, so this makes perfect sense. alecâs SAM is blunter, snarkier and more prone to questioning things, and hilariously is sort of alecâs emotional intelligence. (probably serves a similar role to what ellen used to, actually. ow) scott/saraâs SAM feels more worried/focused -- which also makes sense; heâs just experienced losing his person/pathfinder, in a real way heâs also recently orphaned and must be Extremely aware that he now has an enormous responsibility, not only what he was built for but for what remains of alecâs family. ...poor SAMÂ
(come to think of it I guess one vibe I get from in-game SAM is a little bit of âharried and anxious yet loving and responsible uncleâ hahaha)
- so at this point alec knew cora could never be pathfinder after him, and he never told her. *accumulation of asshole points continues, though I suspect this might have come from a place of not wanting to hurt her again (b/c heâs the only one who has a right to know these important things amirite)* but Iâm also strangely touched that the reason heâs hesitant to involve his children in the whole thing isnât that he doesnât have faith in them, itâs that he doesnât want to burden their lives with something so heavy, a burden he created. can you just imagine... if this man had managed to take the time to explain himself, his motivations and his feelings to his children just once. just one fUCKING time. am I laughing am I crying I honestly donât know
- this book makes me ache all over for the potential of Andromeda. and I donât think itâs too late to salvage it either. I know a sequel probably wonât happen, at least not any time soon, but... *sits by rainy window like a wife wistfully wondering if her husband will return from sea*
#mass effect#mass effect andromeda#meta#man I wish they could have gotten *this* cora across more in the game - it's recognizably the same person but she's shown better here#and also yes I am just a one person 'bring alec ryder back and give us some closure' cheerleading squad right now lol

I Miss You (Zach Dempsey)
From: 13 Reasons Why
Warnings: none, just fluff
Dedication: Iâd like to give credit to @jefferyatkindâ. The edit is hers and she makes a lot of edits like this one, check out her blog https://jefferyatkind.tumblr.com/ I love her edits so much and yeah.
(I dedicate this imagine to you because from the moment I saw your edit I knew that this could be a great story)
You walked to class with you best friend alex. Yeah, thatâs right, the Alex Standall. You were friends ever since FML. And after hannah, He was your second closest friend.
Right now you were walking with him to Biology. âHey y/n! Standall! wait upâ you heard a familiar voice call. You turned around smiling seeing your boyfriend, Zachary Shan-Yung Dempsey. âHey babeâ you said greeting him. âWhere are the dickwads?â you asked teasing him. ây/n/n!!!! Theyâre my friendsssssâ He whines. âTheyâre skipping first and second periodâ Alex answers nonchalantly. you sigh at their stupidity, you mean yeah, theyâre kinda your friends but doesnât mean you agree with everything they do. you kiss Zach on the cheek, âThatâs all???â he says pouting. you laugh and peck him on the lips then we enter bio. We were early by 10 minutes so the only people here were You, Alex and Zach. âHey, Dempsey, are you going to the fun park with the gang?â Alex asks Zach as he settles down in his seat. âYeahâ he replies as he puts his arms around you.
âAre you going babe?â he asks you
âAww no, I canât. midterms next week. YOU SHOULD STUDY TOOâ you replied. âYeah but, youâve met my mom, I studied for midterms since last week and all i have to do is reviewâ he answers.
âOh well, too bad for me thenâ you reply sighing. âCome on babe you have to go. Or else Iâll be lonelyâ he whines pulling you closer. âI wish I could babyâ you say kissing his forehead. Then the teacher enters and you start your first class of the day.
ââ lunch time âââ
âYo y/n! Ready for fun park later?â Justin asks as he and Jessica sit down at our table. âNah, I gotta studyâ you reply sighing. âBOOOOO!â Bryce shouts. You roll your eyes and listen to them plan about their day.
.
.
.
.
.
You finish studying earlier than expected and all you could think about is Zach. I hope heâs okay. you thought. As you finished packing your phone lights up and all your friends are sending you snaps. One from Jess, one from Justin, one from Alex and one from Monty. âWhy isnât Zach messaging me?â you though aloud. You watched all their snaps and see how much fun their having. âI shouldâve goneâ you said to yourself âTheyâre probably on their way home anywayâ you say glancing at the clock. 7:00pm it read. You sigh once again as you see Zach has a recently updated story. âLetâs see how much fun he had, enough to not send me any snaps or whatâ you mumbled as you opened his story
came out. Your heart melts at the sight of your cute boyfriend. You slide to message Alex on snap.
You: Howâs my baby?
Alex: Annoying as fuck. He wouldnât shut up about you not being here.
the definition of disgusting puppy love
You: Yeah yeah whatâs up with the puppy? Is it clifford? Clifford was my favorite thing ever when I was young
Alex: He won it in the basketball game thing in the arcade part of fun park
You: Of course, basketball.
Alex: He says he wouldâve given it to you and it wouldâve been the perfect romantic whatever but you arenât here so he just made himself miss you more
You: My boy is so sweet đđ
Alex: If you think thatâs sweet then this is even better. Heâs been hugging that thing while heâs sleeping and he says heâll still bring it home for you
You: âŚâŚ.
Why are you guys watching Zach sleep? Where are you?
Alex: Still in fun park. Weâre staying until Saturday night so everyone can study on Sunday. We rented a hotel room in the hotel beside it
You: And you all fit?
Alex: Duh, Bryce booked the biggest room there was. And its in the top most floor. You could fit too actually
You: Iâd go but i donât want to sleep in the same room as that rapist đ¤˘đ
Alex: Nah. This is his so called âredemptionâ moment Monty and him have their own room in the floor below. And we locked our doors.
You: Soooo who are you guys with?
Alex: Justin, me, Jess, Sheri, Zach, Marcus
You: The 6 of you in a suite?
Alex: yep
You: Damn hold on
You ran out your room to see your parents having dinner. âHey sweetieâ Your mom greets. âHey mom, i have to ask you somethingâ You say kissing her and your dad as a greeting. âYou want to go to the fun park with your friends donât you?â your dad says even before you can utter a single word. âY-yeah. howâd you know?â you ask confused. âI saw Zach after my business meeting in the hotel. He really misses you. I asked him why you didnât come and he said because you had studyingâ he explained.
âbut since youâre probably doneâ Your mom adds trailing off. âYou may goâ your dad replies motioning to your bags on top of the staircase. âYou knew I was going anyway? And you DO know its overnightâŚ. right?â you ask both of them as you walked up to grab your bags. âYeah and weâre okay because I trust you and Zachâ Your mom says kissing you goodbye. âIâll take youâ Your dad says grabbing his keys.
You walk to the card and head out. You quickly send Alex a text
You: I am on my way donât tell Zach. Itâs a surprise!! Do you guys want pizza? xx
Alex: Yes please đđť
âHey dad, is it okay if I buy Pizza for the gang?â You ask shyly. âyeah sureâ and with that you park and get some pizza
ALEXâS POV
âHey guys letâs order pizzaâ I yell. A chorus of sures and hell yeses were being thrown. âAlrightâ I said laughing slightly. I notice everyone is in the common area talking except one certain raven haired male. âZach weâre ordering pizzaâ I tell him walking in his room to see him still cuddling the stupid red dog. âI donât want anyâ he says hugging it tighter. âAlrightâ I say closing his door. Man I hope y/n gets here soon. Her boyfriend is too whipped.
BACK TO YOU
ây/n, y/n, wake up!!â your dad calls as he shakes you lightly. â5 more minutesâ you whisper putting your jacket over your face. âAre you sure? In 5 minutes I can turn around and go back home and youâll miss surprising your boyfriendâ he says turning the car around. âWHAT IâM HERE? ALREADY?â you yell sitting up. ây/n! Stop shouting weâre in an enclosed area, but yes weâre hereâ your dad says pushing you out the door. âThanks dadâ you say throwing him a smile then kissing his cheek. âSee you tomorrowâ you say before closing the door and walking inside the building.
You finally reach the room and press the doorbell thing. âWow the pizza guy is fastâ you hear Jess say on the other side of the door. âHey Iâll get it, he might be cuteâ you hear Sheri call and right after the door opens. ây-â you cut her off before she can yell âshhh itâs a surpriseâ you say whispering and putting your finger to your lips as if youâre telling her to be quiet. âWell Iâll sayâJess says walking in the room. You hug everyone then turn to Alex. âWhereâs my cotton ball?â you ask the bleached blondie. âIn that room. Heâs terrible without you. The Clifford hit him hardâ he says motioning over to the door beside us. You grab a piece of pizza and a paper plate then you try to open the locked door and when you accept that you canât open it, you knock on his door instead. âAlex I told you I donât want any pizzaâ your boyfriend grumbles as he opens the door. His face turns from gloomy to shock. ây/n???â
âYou donât want any pizza even if it comes with me?â you say pouting.
He quickly gets out of his state of shock and wraps his arms around you âdarling if I knew that all i had to do was to order a pizza, I wouldâve called ages agoâ he whispers in your ear then kisses you. You melt in the kiss and pull him towards you. As the kiss becomes more passionate you hear a cough behind you. You both pull away to see your friends glaring at you guys playfully. Sheri counts, âone⌠two⌠threeâ and all together they shout. âGET A ROOMâ
You all laugh at each other then you and Zach walk back in his room cuddling, as you replace the big red dog with your small petite body. And neither you nor Zach would have it any other way

Anonymous said: I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love I wont stop you. It kind of became a 'safe-place' for me, if i may say so. I've been feeling really empty and down for the past few months, but with this series i have something to look forward to every tuesday and for that i am really grateful! The story, even if its angst (which i like! ...well ;-; as long as it has a happy ending hopefully), lifts my mood and makes me forget some thoughts! Thank you so much for writing it! Have a great day! <3
Oh my goodness ^^ This makes me really happy to hear that it has become a safe place for you to escape the feelings of emptiness. I can empathise with you as I too, have intense feelings of emptiness (but feeling everything so intensely as well - confusing, I know.) Iâm so grateful that something I do helps you to look forward to every Tuesday and it can calm you down a little~ I wonât lie; the story will contain a lot of sad/rage parts, but I think the ending may be one that will make you happy c: Thank you my dear and I hope you have a day that is as wonderful as you.
Anonymous said: Oh my god can i just tell you how MUCH i love the subtle fluff here and there!!! I love how JK thought of her as 'my Y/N' i love how lowkey jealous he got when he thought of another mans hands on you body/or parts of your body that belonged only to him. i love how tae and jimin could smell the ~mating~ LOL Even i giggled there! Especially because, well, jk is a fcking dom and i love it! Oh, btw, do you have any idea around how many chapters it will have? or are you just going with the flow? :)
Ahhh thank you so much for loving the âmy (Y/N)â bit! When I put that in, it made me feel super, super soft c: Iâm a bit like the reader in a sense that sometimes, I feel that overprotective boyfriends and such are kind of lowkey problematic but...sometimes - it makes me feel super smug and happy at the thought? Itâs probably an unpopular opinion. I like people being protective over me! lol THE SMELL OF LOVEEEEE IN THE AIR~ *wink* hehe. And actually, I have NO idea how many chapters there will be! I have an outline for the rest of the story but I usually stop around 5,000 words for each chapter. But there is still a lot to happen, so it wonât be ending any time soon :D Thank you so much for reading!
@semisweetsuga said: Taehyung - a blessing. This story - a blessing. You - a blessing. 16 was so good Sara!!! I loved it!!!!! Love, your gay nerd
You: the biggest blessing on planet earth - end of story, no ifâs, andâs or butâs ^^ My gay nerd lmfao I love you v much my dear and I hope youâre doing well (sorry Iâm a piece of shit and I never reply on line; Iâve been an anti-social mop recently) Thank you for still liking me even tho Iâm a terrible friend :c
@jynxy24 said: Sara, damn you. IWSY came out and I was SCREAMING! Now, Yoongi is going after reader for, whatever reason more than one, I'm pretty sure that this is gonna turn into some sort of love triangle. :D I mean, I hope so. (Smut pls) I'm not perverted, I swear!(Kill me) Â But! If yoongi decides to change for reader, I WILL LOVE YOU TO DEATH! Not that I don't, I WILL ALWAYS! Keep staying awesome please, love ya!
Jynxyyyy~~ YOU WANT A VAMP YOONKOOK THREESOME? Damn - rest in peace if that ever happened Cx Hehe I canât promise that something like that may or may not happen, but I wonât promise it wonât either. Are you confused yet? Good ^.^ muahaha~ I love you too my dear and thank you so much for reading the new chapter!

Youâre damn right I wonât give anything away ;D Hehe thank you so much for reading and I love you too! Way back in March 2016, I had started to plan a Vampire series. But, due to a few reasons, I couldnât begin it/post it (which I canât really talk about lol). But - someone sent in a request asking for a VampKook smut around 18 weeks ago. So - I decided to use that opportunity to turn it into a series with all of my hard work creating lore and history and background to a world inside my head! Iâm so happy that you like it :3
@cynicalspacehoe said: Okay first of all: OH MY GOD. "I Won't Stop You" is the best fanfiction I've ever read (and I've read many, trust me). I know that what I'm about to say is a little cheesy and may sound exaggerated but... this fic keeps me going. Well, technically you do. Week after week, I'm always longing for a new chapter. It kind of feels like a reward for surviving another week and it really helps. Thank you for writing this amazing story, keep going!
Itâs not cheesy ahhh donât worry - even at that, cheesy is great a lot of the time c: Iâm really honoured that you feel my series is a reward for surviving a week - and if thatâs what keeps you going for a while, then I am truly humbled and happy to be a part of that reason. Thank you for reading my series and I hope that you have an amazing week my love ^^
@manibbunny said: i loved the new episode! and i'm biting my nails just thinking about what will happen when yoongi shows up at the ball and omfg what will y/n do when he tells her?! will she accept him? or will she run away and never talk to him? i'm hoping it's the first lol *is lowkey thirsty for angst* shhh
Thank you so much babe! Iâm so happy you enjoyed it :3 Hmmm will she accept him or run away? What if Yoongi catches her if she runs away? ;O hehe~ I hope you enjoy the future chapters too and thank you once again :3
Anonymous said: So will we be seeing Jungkook busting a move at the ball??? Getting down to some red velvet? Maybe??
Maybe real life Jungkook would :P But not 400 year old Prince of the Eternal Kingdom Jeon Jungkook xD It would be funny tho! hehe~

Blitz: Unsportsmanlike
https://ift.tt/2Qw2o2f
 Gods of the Gridiron, Book 1
Sports Romance, Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 28, 2020
 They don't call him Ares for no reason!
Travis Redmond, the ram of a running back for the Atlanta Gladiators, may be a lot of thingsâhot-headed, arrogant, rashâbut a cheater isn't one of them. Until cheating is the only option he has to save his brother, Tucker, from the clutches of a dangerous criminal mastermind.
When his impulsive actions get him an UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT penalty and he ends up suspended and back in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas, the last person he expected to see again was Skyla Larson, his former classmate from Brevidge High.
Skyla isn't the shy girl he remembers from Biology. She's changed after a decade and man, is she scorching hot now⌠and with the sass to go along with it too! Sly little Skyâs got a few secrets of her own, including a particular person she's investigating as Atlantaâs assistant district attorney.
Their reunion and bar-side banter are short-lived though as these two suddenly find themselves running for their lives...and falling in love on top of that!
Love has poor timing, especially when they have everything to lose including their hearts⌠The âgod of warâ may have found something worth fighting forâthe mighty Aphrodite of his.
  Excerpt
PROLOGUE
 Travis Redmond sat at the bar, beer in hand, feeling like the biggest loser in the NFL. Heâd gotten formally suspended this time after heâd pulled his helmet off and gone nose to nose with a player on the field, during a game, in front of eighty-thousand plus fans.
Yeah, heâd been wrong. Yeah, heâd been angry. Yeah, heâd been throwing the game...intentionally. And Pollux Reed had called him out for it. But dammit, he had no idea what Travis was going through and why heâd done what he had. He was tired of the talk behind his back and when Reed had mumbled that bullshit under his breath, Trav had seen red and went at him before he could even think.
Heâd only been playing for the Gladiators for a month now and he was being scrutinized, his motives questionedâlike theyâd been before heâd gotten traded from the Stallions. But no one understood what was happening, what a shit-show his little brother had gotten the two of them into. There were some dark and shady men at the center of this whole scandal, and if Travis didnât play his cards right, Tuckerâs life was at stake. He had to do what they said, had to subtly throw the games, had to keep the facade going. The alternative was unthinkable.
For now, Travis was simply biding his time and looked back over to Hank, the bartender of Gunslingers, the current bar he was in, here in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Heâd needed a break from all the heat he was in, back in Atlanta, using the excuse to come out and visit his family and catch up with his former teammates.Â
Tonight, Trav was meeting up with a friend he used to play with on the Stallionsâhis former QB, Judd Gilbert. Heâd be heading back to Georgia in a couple daysâ time.
Travis checked his phone again, all too aware of the eyes that kept coming back to him. He was as inconspicuous as a famous football player and record-breaking running back could be in his backwards ball cap and shades, despite that it was so dark in the place that he could barely see. The tight Nike t-shirt and jeans probably didnât help. Judd hadnât texted him back, although Travis had been at the bar for about twenty minutes now, waiting.
âIs it true? Were you throwing that game like they said?â Hank asked, leaning over the half-empty bar top, polishing a beer stein.
âWhat the fuck do you think?â Trav grumbled and looked around. âYou know me. You know I ainât like that!â It hurt that people had no more faith in him than they did...even if it were true.
âI know, but it sure donât seem that way. You shouldnât have fumbled that ball, Trav.â
âWhat do you do for a living?â When Hank paused, Trav buried the hatchet. âYou pour fucking liquor into glasses. Why donât you do that and stop telling me how to do my job? When you bust your ass on that field every Sunday, then we can talk. Until then, shut the hell up.â Travis looked away, his heart hurting at the acid dripping from his lips. He had to make this seem legit though or Tucker was a dead man. Theyâd warned him and warned him and warned him. And Tucker was in their grasp now. They could put a bullet through his head in the blink of an eye if Travis acted suspiciously. Theyâd already sent him a pinky toe in the mail. He assumed it was his brotherâs but couldnât verify it for a fact. They could be bluffing, but he knew them too well; they hadnât bluffed prior to now.
Travis pulled his shades off and looked around, narrowing his eyes at the onlookers, almost growling like a cornered dog. Yeah, itâs me fuckers, Travis fuckinâ Redmond! In the flesh, he wanted to shout but took another sip of beer instead, back home and up to no good, he thought to himself.
Just then his phone beeped and he checked it, seeing a text from Judd.
Judd: Hey, man. Sorry, Iâm gonna have to bail tonight. Jerica is running a fever and Gemma thinks we should take her to urgent care. FML. I really hate this. Iâll call you tomorrow. Maybe we can do lunch before you head out on Thursday?
Well, shit! Trav was on his own tonight...in a bar he didnât even wanna be in. His night just kept getting better and better.
Travis texted back with: No worries, man. Hope sheâs alright. Talk tomorrow.
He replaced his phone in his back pocket and looked at the opening door, seeing that it was raining out now as an impeccably dressed redhead with a giant umbrella stomped in, huffing.
Travâs eyes narrowed as he tried to place her. That face, mouth, and skin tone⌠He could swear heâd seen them before. When she looked up, her blue eyes grazed him robotically before zeroing in on the bartender.
âExcuse me, do you have a phone I could use?â she asked and got a scoff from Hank.
âPayphoneâs in the back, lady.â
She sighed heavily and closed the dripping umbrella, swiping her black heels on the giant rug at the entrance of the door. She was clad in a striped, heather-gray pant suit with a cream silk top. She rifled through the big leather bag on her shoulder before tucking her unruly, long curly hair behind her ears. He heard her grumble, âFuck,â as she pulled out a wallet and runaway coins began to bounce onto the floor with little pings here and there.
Travis understood; his day was just as shitty.
He decided then to move off his seat and assist her. He stepped forward and bent down to retrieve the three quarters, five nickels, and four dimes that had fallen out of her wallet. As her sapphire blue eyes fell to his, the womanâs jaw literally dropped as she recognized him.
He was used to this. Being a professional athlete got a man all kinds of attention; some wanted and others not so much. He wasnât sure of the attention here but hoped she didnât draw too much his way. The heat of the chaos heâd already generated himself was creating steam around him and he wanted to hug a wall at this point.
The shock on her face quickly turned to scorn. Great! She not only recognizes me, she hates me. No scoring for me tonight.
âHere, you dropped this,â his voice plunged in annoyance as he thrust the fist full of change forward.
âKeep it! No one asked for your two cents anyway.â
Ouch! Feisty. Well, she was a redhead after all.
âItâs actually $1.40 to be exact,â he smarted.
âHmm, you could probably use it more than I could right now, Mr. Redmond.â
He rolled his eyes. Maybe she was a jaded fan or the wife of an opposing player. Either way, he wasnât taking her money, to hell with her.
He slammed it on the bar top because his temper was the shortest thing on him. âYouâll need it for the fucking payphone,â he grated out even as she turned her back to him and walked in the direction of the phone and bathrooms. âUngrateful bitch,â he mumbled under his breath.
Travis sat back down at the bar and continued to nipple his beer, looking up at the television that hung on the back wall. It was set to SportsCenter, so he kept his eyes locked on it, listening to the play by play of past Sundayâs games. The sportscasters began arguing predictions of the coming games, evaluating the players and their stats, and then started to debate Travisâs future with the Gladiators. Again, anger seized him. What the hell did they know? His head coach, Greg Cavanaugh, and the owner of his team, Jerry Taylor, hadnât talked about cutting him. He was only suspended for two weeks, and itâd been for taunting, not throwing the games.
Travis sighed and leaned back on the bar stool. His guilt might be enough to kill him; the team didnât deserve to be done the way they were, nor his teammates. Travis wished things could be different, but there was nothing he could do. He couldnât go to the cops, he couldnât discuss itâwith anyoneâand he couldnât allow them to fire him. He had to keep this up. Had to continue to keep his brother alive.
âCan I have a water please?â Joy! The stuck-up lady was back.
âDoes this look like a Waffle House?â Hank snorted.
âCâmon, Iâll pay for a soda. Iââ
âGive her a damn water, Hank, and quit beinâ a dick,â Travis scolded with yet another scowl, getting one in answer. Hank huffed but did as he was told. âYouâre grumpy tonight and itâs showing.â
âYeah, and with no damn help from you. Youâre supposed to be the town hero, Travis. Youâre really disappointinâ us lately.â
Yeah, that makes two of us, buddy, he thought but spoke instead to the mysterious redhead whoâd sat down two stools from him. âYou sure you donât need somethinâ stronger?â
âI donât drink.â
âFigures,â he mumbled and sipped his beer again.
âYeah, well maybe if you didnât drink so much, you could keep your damn hands on the football.â The redhead smirked, and Travis frowned over at her. Who did she think she was, talking to him like that? What Hell had she come from to torture him like everyone else was tonight?
âLike youâd even fuckinâ know,â he retorted back. She probably didnât even watch football, he bet. She just went along with what the man whoâd put that big rock on her finger told her to do.
Travis rolled his eyes and looked back at the TV, getting nothing else out of her for a minute. As soon as this beer was done, he was saying, âFuck offâ to all of âem and getting the hell out of Dodge while the gettinâ was good.
The redhead rifled through her giant bag once more and sighed at the cell phone in her hands, drawing Travisâs attention again.
âFuck,â she mumbled under her breath and threw it back into her purse.
Travâs brows went up in question, but she looked away quickly, as if his stare was abhorrent. Sheâd be pretty if she would stop being such a cunt. There was something about her though that, again, made him feel as if he knew who she was.
âYou from around here?â he finally asked, curiosity getting the best of him, and moved lithely onto the stool beside her. He was curious by nature; he couldnât help himself.
âYes, unfortunately I am,â she responded, running a hand through her mane of red hair.
âUnfortunately?â he sassed. âWhat? You too good to come from olâ San Antonio?â
âNo,â she smarted back and rounded on him. âBut I certainly wasnât hoping to run into you again.â
Again? When the hell had he run into her in the first place? He hadnât slept with her, had he? If he had, he was certain he wouldâve remembered a set of tits and a pair of legs like hers.
He grinned. âI donât reckon I know you, darlinâ.â
âOh, yes, you do,â she retorted hotly and took a sip of her water. âYou just donât recognize me. I mean, itâs been almost ten years since we graduated.â
Holy shit! Heâd gone to high school with her? Who was she?
He looked her over and tried to rack his brain. High cheekbones, great tits, curvy hips, porcelain skin... Nope, he was drawing a blank. But then again, heâd been hit one too many times in the head since high school.
âGot a name, Fireball?â
âYes, Travis Redmond, I do. Too bad you donât remember it.â She huffed, and he couldnât help but laugh at this womanâs audacity. He was certain he wouldâve remembered a sexy, feisty redhead; this lady was unforgettable.
âYouâre gonna make me work for it... Ok, fine. Maybe itâll be fun.â His grin was like the cat that ate the canary for a moment before he spied her engagement ring again. Damn! She was engaged, heâd forgotten. Too bad too, because he couldâve had loads of fun with this sassy, little ginger. Each one heâd ever taken to bed had truly been straight fire and tonight, he needed that kind of fire to forget all his problems.
âOh, Iââ she stammered as she went to remove the ring from her finger. âIâIâm notââ
âSure. And Iâm not one of the NFLâs leading running backs.â
âNo. Actually. Heâhe, uhââ
âSure, he did.â Travis went to turn, annoyed by the womanâs sudden separation from her fiancĂŠ on his account.
âHe was fucking his secretary. I just found out yesterday. Itâs one of the reasons Iâm here. Along with work. I needed to get away.â She blushed, her face as red as her hair. Tears hit her blue eyes. âThe affair is big news now. The media got wind of it this morning,â she mumbled, looking down.Â
âBummer.â He understood how the media took a story and ran with it. âSo, your fiancĂŠ a politician or somethinâ?â
âHeâs the mayor of Atlanta.â
âNo shit!â She lived in Atlanta too? âWait, ainât he a bit old for you?â The mayor was, indeed, an old dude.
She shrugged. âI guess it doesnât matter much anymore, does it?â She smirked sarcastically, and Travisâs eyes fell over her face.
She had a light dusting of freckles, which her foundation covered, rosy cheeks, an aquiline nose, and no-nonsense blue eyes. And in that moment, she looked as run-down as he did. He took pity on her and felt bad for calling her a bitch behind her back.
âHank, get us two shots. Make âem lemon drops.â
âNo,â the pretty woman protested, shaking her head. âI canât. Really.
âOh, câmon. Have a drink with your old classmate. Weâre celebrating a reunion. Just a round or two. It wonât hurt ya. Besides, there ainât enough liquor in those things to even get you good and buzzed.â
She cocked her head, trying to get him to understand, but he persisted.
âJust one. Maybe two. I swear, Iâll get you home in one piece.â
âOh, I know exactly what youâll try to do, if youâre anything like what you were back in high school. But my car needs a tow and the wreckerâs gonna be a while, so Iâll have one, maybe two with you. But I am not going home with you, Travis.â
âDeal!â Travis grinned and motioned for Hank to get the shots. âBut I gotta ask? Have we slept together before?â
She shook her head dramatically. âIâd never sleep with you. Not in a million years.â
âRight, but youâll sleep with the damn, old-ass, bald guy you were engaged to,â Travis snorted. The woman didnât confirm nor deny the accusation but she sure as hell was gonna marry the asshole, so there was that.
âSo, you gonna tell me your damn name so I can get reacquainted with you or continue to keep me guessing?â
She laughed, like genuinely laughed, and Travis was taken by how beautiful she was as her face lit up.
Wow! How had he forgotten a woman who looked like that?
âSkyla.â
âSkyla?â Travis was combing through every neuron to try and remember this lady, but he couldnât place her to save his life.
âI wore glasses, had braces, was overweight,â she elaborated. âSkyla Larson from Bio.âÂ
âYouâre fuckinâ kidding me!â
Travis was literally dumbfounded as he recalled the chubby, strawberry blonde heâd had Biology with. The girl he remembered was shy, practically mute, and tripped over her own two feet constantly.
âNo way! You are not.â
âAm too.â Skylaâs brow rose.
Travisâs eyes roved over her. Sheâd honed that fleshy pubescent body into a slender masterpiece, taken those ugly-ass glasses and braces off, and now she was fine AF, and he told her so. âDamn! Youâre smokinâ fuckinâ hot now, Skyla. Whatâd you discover? P90X.â
She rolled her eyes but gave him a smile. âThanks, Travis. That means a lot coming from you. But not only did I discover P90X and clean-eating, I also grew the fuck up⌠unlike some of my classmates.â
Travis laughed. Damn, this was entertaining and got his mind off the fear that his life had become since his brother had come to him six months ago, pleading for five million dollars and protection. âYou grew up alright.â Travisâs eyes focused on her big breasts, and he remembered that she did have those in high schoolâBraces, buck teeth, and big tits. It was starting to come back to him now. âYou were never sarcastic though, and I canât say I like that about you.â
âGood thing I donât give a shit what you like.â
âBurn, baby.â He smirked. âIs the rest of you as scalding hot as that tongue of yours?â He gave her a crooked grin.
âWouldnât you like to find out?â she asked and thanked Hank for the shots he placed before them.
âYes! I would indeed,â Travis answered and raised his shot after Sky grabbed hers. âHereâs to reconnections.â

22 november 2017
dear kihyun,
my baby!! my angel!! my entire world!! i miss you so so much you donât even know iâm literally rotting in my seat as iâm typing iâm so anxious and slightly sad but at the same time so in LOVE because of YOU! hhh this is the most informal piece of shit iâve probably ever gonna write so i might as well make it cringy too 1!!1! firstly iâm incredibly anxious because i go on fucking school camp/hike tomorrow where iâll spend 5 days climbing mountains with a 20kg+ pack and endless walking each day (apparently the total length is gonna be 60km fml) but whatever :â)) then iâm so sad because i miss your birthday and so many other things i wonât be able to see ur face smiling laughing enjoying your time with everyone else it feels like iâm being stabbed in the heart but i can always watch it when i get back right âŚ
so now letâs take a quick road trip back in time and iâll try my best to recount how exactly you suddenly became my ult huhuhu ⌠so i started getting into monsta x after newton but i knew you since debut bc my friend is a massive fan of yours so she made me watch some of your stuff haha :D my first bias was hyungwon and i still love him to bits of course! then i had a little existential crisis and practically stanned 4 people at once (at least iâm not ashamed of admitting it /coughs) and most recently before you it was hoseok! i still love him too but i reckon it was rewatching all the music videos and hearing your gorgeous gorgeous voice soothe my mind and my heart ⌠you kinda just dragged me into a never ending pit of Kihyun but i feel kinda proud i fell into your trap before dramarama like everyone else did hahaha :âââ)) alternatively it was your pink hair because iâm a sucker for you being all cute :(( or actually it couldâve been when i discovered the cure to my entire life aka kiho iâm actually trash but ur just so pERFECT NEXT TO HIM HOW
i wish you knew how many times iâve dozed off in class thinking about you Would You Stop Doing That Please! iâm kidding i think iâm at the point where iâm willing to sacrifice my grades for you HAHA donât tell my parents but i love you so much? this is crazy?? iâm going crazy??? also this is random but i forgot to talk about your lisp iâm listening to one more step and i keep hearing your lisp and eeee you are the Cutest your lisp is so perfect please donât look down on yourself for having one because itâs beautiful and it just makes me love you so much more Mister Yoo (i cringed writing that give me a break). you look unbelievably good like a 3 cours- no a 6 course meal i canât believe i only have like 300 pictures of you on my laptop/phone i must expand my collection vastly hopefully itâll come with time (also rip my laptop is already out of storage 24/7 the fuck do i do) i gotta say although your pink hair was a killer i love your natural hair colours too especially black and brown and blonde can we just taLK ABOUT STUCK ERA FOR A SECOND i changed my mind i think watching stuck is what transformed me into who i am today who the fuck let you style your hair like that every time i see pictures of That Hair i bust a colossal nut you also know you looked good why was your aim to kill everyone who looked at you??
letâs not forget you cooking oh dear miss emily here has ascended to heaven just thinking about your cooking vlives just you rolling up your sleeve is enough to send my soul into self-destruct mode who the heck let you ever enter the kitchen in the first place i donât even truST YOU WITH KNIVES you obvious donât know what youâre doing but youâre so damn cute doing it anyways so i just have to love you god damnit!!! your actually the cutest and so funny too you told everyone to not wear white shirts when cooking but guess what you wore a white shirt in each of your cooking vlives iâve never wanted to punch you that badly in my entire life jesus christ pLEASE. also never again let minhyuk cook with you a whole onion just doesnât belong in the spaghetti you assholes.
right so another reason why i look up to you is how you love all the other members! i donât want to label you as the âmotherâ of monsta x i mean i see it but at the same time i slightly disagree with it but you just spread so much love every time you smile or hug the other members their faces light up they know you love them and they love you back youâre just so sweet!!! you care for them so much and iâm so grateful i donât think monsta x would be monsta x without you so thank you for bringing your personality and your unique qualities into the group. donât change because other people want you to and stay true to who you are because you are wonderful.
one of my biggest regrets is not making the effort to go to kcon aus. i probably couldâve gone ⌠but i didnât think it would be worth it and in the end it wouldâve been hard to find friends who could go anyways. you looked so good that weekend i sincerely hope you had a great time in australia and even consider coming back for a concert if youâre planning any tours in the upcoming years! i swear to god just hearing concert experiences from friends makes me cry on the inside they all tell me youâre tiny irl and iâm tiny too but i canât imagine you being too small but again you always seem to prove me wrong so i guess the only way to find out and fulfil my curiosity would be to see you in real life and i would definitely attend any concert youâre in man i wish i were lying when i say i would work every bit of my body off to pay for vip tickets and whatever else just so i can see you in real life. i already know my new years resolution for 2018 and thatâs gonna be to get a fucking job, see monsta x live in concert and lasting continuing loving you until my heart explodes :)) your smile is so so beautiful my heart flutters every single time i see it itâs always the highlight of my day please continue to throw back your head and laugh it means so much that youâre happy! just the way your flash your teeth all the time and itâs so perfect and your tiny nose scrunch is the cuteST YOUâRE A BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
i hope you get treated like the prince you are on your birthday and get lots of gifts and love because you deserve the most!! iâm so proud of you baby!!! when you go through hard times be optimistic even though itâs hard, but the end result will be worth it! please continue to love yourself and take care of yourself, your health and happiness is most important to me so please keep it up! youâre never gonna read this but if you ever come across kihyun antis kindly tell them to Back The Fuck Off or i will go over there myself and season their eyelids with salt and pepper ((: stay true to yourself, never give up (i know you wonât) and keep spreading your beautiful kindness! youâre the best man iâve ever come across in my life and itâs honestly no longer a joke i love the shit out of you you occasionally rip my heart into pieces but thatâs totally okay because in the end you manage to mend the pieces back together again <3 thank you so so much for existing itâs cheesy i know but my future just became so so brighter with you in it i wonât ever leave you i promise!! iâll be here to support you whether the matter be small or enormous i love you my head is spinning iâm going to meet you i can feel it iâm gonna pour all my love onto you when i do and youâre going to be like What The Fuck who is this creep but i really hope it at least puts a smile on your face. i love you i love you i love you i hope you have the most wonderful birthday and iâm still punching myself because iâm the worst person ever because iâm missing it. iâll be thinking of you on the 22nd, please be safe and stay lovely until then, i love you so much.

âAre You The One?â Recap: So It Begins
Jambo, morons! Welcome back to another riveting season of where the success rate is similar to the cast members combined IQs: practically non-existent. But hey, were Americans. We love shit that is destined to failwhether its reality shows or President-elects. Its our cross to bear.
ANNNNYWAYS. So MTV had a hard job to do: top the group of idiots that made up season 4. And thankfully for you, but mostly for me, they did just that. Shoutout to you MTV, you da real MVP.
Also, as many of you know, I tend to feature quotes from my loveable, yet incredibly cruel mother in these recaps. You think Im bad? She once called a woman in Starbucks a psycho bitch because she took the last of the skinny vanilla mix. True story. DM me for details. Lets begin now.
This season MTV really went for #culture and decided to have the show in the Dominican Republic. Even reality shows get island fever, I guess. I mean, you can really only throw so many group orgys/luaus so many times on one show.
Ryan Devlin, the host who you feel bad for like 99% of the time, meets up with the cast and is like you guys all suck at and theyve all been trained to say relationships. Of course they all forget their one fucking line and just sound like they are saying random shit.
RYAN: You guys suck at CASTMATE 1: Relationships! CASTMATE 2: Tomato! CASTMATE 3: Unicorn piss! CASTMATE 4: 9/11 was a hoax!
We meet Tyranny (Mom Quote: IS HER NAME TRANNY!?! theyre so cute when they are mildly offensive) says that all of her boyfriends have either cheated on her or knocked other girls up. In the words of Donald Trump: Sad! Very Unfair!
Theres Jaylan who used to be a loser, hit the gym, now gets pussy. Male Laney Boggs. Tale as old as time. Moving on.
Taylor: hottest girl on the show easily, talks about how her dad would kill some of the men she has dated, low-key concerned for her safety and the safety of others.
Theres Joey, the povo as fuck part-time garbage man who spent his last remaining dollars on a gaudy watch. Obviously a very smart investor. Didnt know sent kids on scholarship. Im just happy hes honest about being a garbage man and doesnt try and be like Im a sanitation assistant. Not that any of them know what sanitation means.
Joey is def hot though10/10 would bang, just to get hook up with blue collar worker off my bucket list.
REAL PICTURE OF JOEY:
THE FIRST DATE RULES
Ryan explains about how they do comprehensive interviews and questionnaires to develop and algorithm that eventually finds their match. You know poor Joey didnt know what was happening after comprehensive.
This season, theres another twist: there are 11 guys and 11 girls, but they only get ten chances. Obviously MTV was giving away too much money with this show, so they made more couples. What? Youre thinking it.
For the first date, MTV acted like a bunch of fucking narcs and sent bios to the contestantsâ parents so mom and dad can pick who they think is a match. Everyone is like, Mom dont fuck this up for me.
My mom: If you were ever on this show I would literally never acknowledge you again. (Fair enough.)
Joeys mom picks Carolina, whos like okay cool, whatever. She doesnt know hes a garbage man yet, so give her a break.
Hannahâswho is from my hometown, hey girlfamily picks Oswaldo, a self-described horny genius. Welp, I think a line like that means its time for a shot. Brb.
Anyway, Hannah is like I would rather eat my own spleen then date Oswaldo. (paraphrase)
Giannas mom chose Hayden and they start hugging and are like . Fucking spare me. The other fucking losers have to send these couples to the truth booth after their date.
BACK TO THE HOUSE
The castmates get to their dungeon for the next few months and drinks are flowing and shirts are off. I remember my first sip of alcohol.
Cassandra is drunk and is wanting to touch everyones face. She like Im so flirty when Im drunk which is a weird way of saying Im a hoe.
Its Mikes birthday today. Hes like its my birthday so someone fuck me. *plays Birthday Sex* *stares aggressively at all the women*
Mike describes himself as a typical Staten Island boy. His hobbies include moisturizing, mispronouncing half the English language and fapping off to girls who look like Snooki.
Ozzy is a local, so you know he is dirty as fuck. Kathryn goes to Florida State, you know shes hot as fuck, but also borderline brain-dead.
Shes like I WANT TO BE A TEACHER! and its like, sure ya do sweetie, and I want to be a fucking astronaut. Stick to what you know and continue being a TFM girl.
Ozzy and Kathryn both want to be teachers. Snoreeeeee. Shes already like Im in lovewell folks, weve met the stage-5 clinger for the season.
Michael the douchebagnot be confused with Mike, the little man from Staten Islandis laying it on THICK to Taylor and she is not having it. Taylor has officially become my favorite on the show so far.
MICHAEL:Hey pretty lady TAYLOR:Ew seriously? Girls with asses like mine do not talk to guys with faces like yours.
Shes like youre so full of shit and Im like SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, TAYLOR.
Hayden and Gianna are talking about how they both have dogs and both like corn and other pretty basic shit and decide theyre going to be together forever.
GIANNA: I breathe air HAYDEN: No way, I breathe air!!!
They both have the flyover state bond, with Hayden being from Indiana and Gianna being from Ohio. Its always cute to see two people from middle America bond and discuss the fact that they fucked the rest of us over. True love.
Everyone is like Hayden and Gianna are a match, even though theyve all known each other for 3 seconds.
Joey the trash man is telling people that hes going to be a carpenter, much like a 3rd grader would say Mommy, Im going to be a superhero! Shannon brings me the biggest laugh of the night by asking him to do her carpets, clearly not knowing what a carpenter is. Shit like that makes me miss my sorority.
Ozzy is chain-smoking and being like I DONT WANT TO BE THE OLD ME. Aka, me on New Years Eve.
Kathryn and Ozzy are drunk as fuck and being flirty and going WE WANT TO HELP KIDS!!!! You stay the fuck away from my future children, Rush-Boobs and Ozzy.
Michael is talking to Gianna and starts telling a sob story about how he was chubby and he blossomed. If I had a nickel for every time I heard that one. No seriously, every fucking season they have one of these guys.
MTV CASTING: Ok we need at least one hick, one former fat dude, one ripped black guy and one oddly feminine guy. Search the fucking country.
Michael starts asking Gianna about her open-heart surgery, gets bored halfway through and just starts sucking her face. Okay. Well that escalated quickly. Quote from mom: He doesnt give a shit about her faulty heart. Hes trying to get laid. Profound.
Rush-Boobs wants to make Ozzy jealous and starts low-key hooking up with Mike. Fantastic logic, cant wait for you to educate our youth.
Then we meet Andre, who has trust issues because the girl he liked since 8th grade literally sat on his friends lap. Meanwhile, Tyrannys boyfriends are having children, but OKAY. #dramatic
Alicia is the perpetual sidepiece, aka every womans enemy.
Ozzy and Kathryn already think they are a match and Ozzy forgive Rush-Boobs for hooking up with Mike because hes a cheater too, so this is karma. Wow, how fucking zen of you.
THE DATE
Hayden dresses in camo for the date and Gianna is like You can take the boy out of Indiana, but you cant make him dress like a normal fucking human.
Its very clear Gianna is over Hayden, whereas Hayden hasnt been this excited since he attended a Donald Trump rally last summer.
GIANNA: FML HAYDEN: *excitedly whispers* Build that wall! Build that wall!
Joey just looks like a trash man, like, just in life. He has resting garbage man face.
Hannah does not like Oswaldo, its very obvious. Shes going to call her parents and demand a raise in her monthly allowance for making her suffer through this bullshit.
Gianna starts kissing Hayden and shes like Ill give him a chance. How fucking noble of you.
Carolina and Joey are talking about their parents and Joey tells her that he would never cheat on a girl and Carolina damn near creams her pants. They kiss and meanwhile the whole audience is wondering does she know hes a trash man? That dramatic irony, doe.
THE TRUTH BOOTH
ShockerHayden and Gianna to the truth booth. Michael is like WE MADE OUT LAST NIGHT but Im not jealous.
MICHAEL: Im not even mad! NARRATOR: Michael was, in fact, very mad.
Ah, but there is a truth booth twist! They can trade in truth booth and add $150,000 to their prize. But if they take the money then Hayden and Gianna can never get sent back together.
The house is torn. Im torn. Im all out of faith, this is how I feel.
*Starts Twitter poll asking people what they would do*
They decide not to take the trade, which my mom and I both agree is stupid.
And lookie here: No match. So thats done.
Michael is thrilled. My mom thinks he looks like a baby rat. Cannot un-see that.
Gianna gives a speech basically saying that she didnt feel it the whole time and everyone is like okay cool thanks for telling us, *whispers* ya fuckin bitch.
We also very quickly meet Kam, who has a rotation of men because #feminism. And Edward, who has a chest tattoo. Thats it for now.
Gianna goes to hang out with Michael and hes over it. He makes her cry, I dont really care, blah blah blah, moves on with life. Gianna and Michael are going to be the annoying couple this season. Buckle up.
MATCH CEREMONY
This season they have the blackout rule again but this time they cut the winnings in half if they blackout. Thats way harsh, Tai.
First is Kam and Eddy. Shes building up her newest rotation.
Taylor picks Tyler, who is hot. Wait what? Why did they not introduce the hot guy? What is this fuckery, MTV? They also sound like they could be identical twins.
Kari, dont know her yet so whatever, picks little man Mike.
Casandra picks Kaylen.
Caroline picks Joey.
Tyranny and Oswaldo. Can I just call you Tee? Im going to call you Tee, because Im one letter away from being low-key fucked up.
Giannas dumb ass is up and shes like I HAVE A GREAT CONNECTION WITH MICHAEL so obviously shes going to pick Ozzy.
Tee and Alicia are pissed and threatening to curb stomp this bitch. Fuck yes, this is what I signed up for. Gianna is like Leave me alone everyone, Im proving this to Michael! Literally all you proved was that youre crazy AND stupid.
Hannah picks Michael.
Alicia picks Andre.
Rush-Boobs picks Derek, who is also hot as fuck. Also, Rush-Boobs laugh reminds me of Kitty from. I know. Its all you can think about now.
Shannon, who btw really needs her carpets cleaned, picks Hayden.
Well this is excitingthey get two matches. Not bad for week one. They dont make me want to kill myselfyet.
Ryan gives the follow your heart speech that we hear every fucking episode and the cast goes back to the house to turn the fuck up.
So far, off to an interesting start. Gotta say, good-looking cast this season. Dumb as rocks, but good-looking. Come back next week to see what other shit I can talk about my peers who are doing far worse than I am. Peace, bitches.
