JK's live 30 June 2023 12:38 am KST

30.6.2023 12:38 or 00:38 KST

cr./to the creators of the media used in this post.

Before I start talking about the live itself and Seven, of course, let's look for just a second, again, for the fun of it, at the numbers.

12:38 or 00:38 is the time JK started the live.

Do you see what those 2 numbers give us? Side by side?

1 2 3 and 8 and then 3 and 8. Does that help?

123

and

8/11

Do I think he did this on purpose? The 123 yeah, I see that. But the other part, nah? Just a usual lovely stars aligning Jikook coincidence I guess, lol.

Oh, and we also have 12:38 that gives us a 2+8=10 and the 1 and 3 that give us the 13, so:

13/10

So, not too too much happened during the live. JK came, talked a little tiny bit about his upcoming single, working on an album and a little more too, worked out, was his own cute self and dipped.

That was that in a nutshell.

Now let's dive in a little deeper.

JK talked about Seven. Well, telling us it's coming out on the 14 July and that he's excited about it.

There is an album in the works, but not finalized just yet.

Oh, and the MV, it's a wrap, and was fun. Now I'm truly curious.

I did talk about the song not being written by him in my previous post. He heard it with BPD and said he wants to do it a lot. His words.

He heard it, he liked it, he wanted to do it. Not personal, not a life story.

Doesn't mean the lyrics didn't 'speak' to him in a sense. Didn't mean something to him. You can feel connected to a song that isn't written by yourself. But it is something to keep in mind when we hear the song, watch the MV and see the lyrics, lol.

Just side tracking here for a sec to this:

CP says it's sooooo good. I'm gonna trust him on this.

Question I have right now is: Is JM becoming JK's spoiler king?

JK misses Jin and Hobi.

He got a new lip piercing.

What I love about that man is that he's so aware. He knows there are those that do not approve (you know, those idiots that think they have ownership over him or a right to tell him what to do). And yet, he doesn't give a shit. He wanted it, he did it. If they want to accept it they will, if they don't sucks for them. And the thing is that when he says it, he does it so nicely and respectfully. I LOVE IT!!!

He told us he's taking English lessons.

As a matter of fact, he had one just before starting the live.

Funny how both JK and JM seem to be studying English at night.

Remember this?

You know, must be one of those Jikook coincidences.

Nah. Fuck that. They are studying English together. Period.

JK talks about doing intermittent dieting, so he bought snacks but can't eat them just yet.

JK wanting to share but blanking out, lol.

Well, he didn't give us a spoiler, but we did get the next best thing, lol.

We get full JK workout.

Gotta love army edits (some at least, lol)

Poor baby hurt himself.

That was quite a workout.

Well, working out can be alone or together. There are many forms of working out... Does he really want us to wonder all of that?

The duality of this man.

And then.

I absolutely adore that JK has no problem what so ever that we see him like this. No makeup, every hair possible out of place, tired, sleepy, drunk, sad, happy, just bare.

He trusts us to see him bare.

Writing those lines, that sentence, idk why, it brings tears to my eyes.

He's not afraid to be himself. Take it or leave it. Yes, he plays the part of the idol, but he isn't afraid to show us him, a real human being just like us (just way prettier and sexier and more talented and more intelligent and in better shape), as much as he can under the circumstances of being an idol and a celebrity.

How can we not LOVE this young man?

JK ending the live.

So, not so much going on during this live.

I wrote this post based on the translations available. Of course I will watch the live translated and come back with corrections if be needed.

This to me felt more like a scheduled live for him, less one he just wanted to do, to keep connected with us or to convey a message that doesn't have to do with his own promotions (you get what I'm saying). And it makes sense it was pretty much scheduled, given the announcement of his single release. But who cares? We got us some cute ass JK. Just seeing him warms my heart. I assume it has the same effect on you.

I'll leave you with an amusing take on JK's live.

[yankstrash]

THAT WAS SOOOOO GOOD WE NEED PT. 2 groveling gabe !!!

part 1 here!

to say that meels was upset with gabe would be an understatement

he had never snapped at her before

her sweet, kind, gentle gabriel

amelia knew why gabe was upset and frustrated, but that gave him no right to take it out on her, especially when all she was trying to do was help and make him feel better

she left his apartment that night and spoke not a word to him until the next day

gabe felt awful about snapping at her; he regretted his words the second they left his mouth

but he knows his girl; she's stubborn, she's difficult and she can hold a grudge when she wants to

so he knew he wouldn't be hearing from her for the rest of the night

and he knew he probably wouldn't hear from her until he personally gave her an apology

which is exactly what he is doing now

gabe wasted not a second the next morning getting meels favorite starbucks drink before heading over to her place, prepared to beg on his knees for forgiveness

when she opened her door and saw him standing there, she frowned and rolled her eyes

"it's early."

"i'm sorry."

"i'm tired."

"i'm sorry."

"i heard you the first time."

amelia headed back to her bed and gabe followed her, closing her door behind him

"well, i am.." he says as he holds her starbucks drink out for her

she eyes the cup before giving gabe a look

he knows that look

he nods as he sets her drink down on her nightstand

grafting time.

"i didn't mean to be an ass yesterday." he says

"but you were."

he nods, "i know baby, i'm sorry. i'm really, really sorry."

amelia sighs, "you know i was only trying to help, right? i know you're mopey because you can't play and respectfully so, but it isn't the end of the world and it doesn't give you the right to talk to me the way that you did."

"i know."

"then why did you do it?" she asks as she crosses her arms

"it just.. came out. that's no excuse but it's all i've got."

"well you're going to have to do better than that."

"with you, yeah, i know."

"you think that's helping, gabe?"

keep digging yourself a bigger hole, buddy.

"no.." gabes cheeks burn a bit "i- i just- i'm sorry, meels. i don't know what else to say. i'm sorry i snapped at you, i know you were only trying to help and you've been there for me through this whole shitty process, so i'm sorry i took my frustrations out on you. you didn't deserve it and i wish i could take it back. i wish i could take it back baby but i can't.. but it'll never happen again."

amelia stays silent for a few moments

"damn right it won't happen again. it better not happen again, gabe."

"it won't, i promise. i promise you, baby." he says as he sits next to her

she looks at him with sad eyes

"i was just trying to cheer you up." she says softly

gabes heart aches at her words and facial expression

"i know baby, i'm sorry." he says as he pulls her into him "i'm a jerk."

"yeah.. you are."

gabe laughs lightly at her words

"never again." he says

"never again." she repeats "or i will sell every single one of your essentials hoodies and your eras tour ticket."

"now i can't have that happening now can i, meels?"

"nope." she says as she grabs her starbucks drink

"morning starbs.. typical gabriel." she says as she takes a sip

"your favorite, baby. i'm sorry, i love you."

"mhm," she brings the cup up to her lips "you better."

1. Longing by @bakugotrashpanda - Honestly anything by BTP is fucking fantastic but this was the fic that started it all. This is by far some of the best characterization of Bakugo that i've seen written and I ADORE it. Please the way he is with his daughter in this ALONE will make you SWOON.

2. The Art of Tea Composition by @karikarasuno Every single word in this is BEAUTIFUL stunning, glorious so domestic and lovely and beautiful and sexy and GOD Kari is just so fucking good at writing characters. And she wrote my fucking husband and just ekcjsadjkn

3. Before Number One by @saturnsorbits - this is honestly one of my FAVORITE Bakugo fics from one of my favorite writers. It just flows so well, I love his charcaterization I love the SEXXXXXXX. I just whbaskdjb i think about this fic A LOT ok?!?

4. Reverence by @onyxoverride - When i tell you I have been thinking about this fic SOOOOO MUCH since I read it. I'm NOT joking... My Dragon Age love has been rekindled and this fic was oh so sexy and made me look at Bertie in an entirely new light. Not to mention the sensual and hypnotizing flow and tone in this. Excellent work by my love Onyx.

5. A Series of Small Victories by @whats-her-quirk - Ok so I'm kinda cheating because i haven't read it all the way through yet but I read the start and the build up in the google doc and i was SCREAMINGGGGGG. I swear when I have time I will finish this because pegeren2k21 has finally arrived and my wife brought it to us.

6. Blood of Eden by @pleasantanathema - Another fic that I am constantly thinking of. It is always in my head. The lore in this is always something I wondering about because it's so fucking good. When writing Erwin I think about *this*Erwin for reference because it is just so damn good.

7. Pyroclastic by @titan-fodder -I know I know everyone is in love with Prima Vista with good reason (i will finish it i fucking swear) but THIS is the Miche fic I think of. The fucking Geology in it??? literally how could i not?? And Like this was the first Miche fic i ever read so it the pacing and everything literally felt like I was falling in love with him with the reader.

8. absolut by @lookslikeleese OH do you mean the fic that introduced me to my girlfriend Ochako?? Do you mean the one that made me scream in Weese's inbox, "WEESE I THINK IM GAY" Because yes. Yes Katsu is in this and he's hot. And yeah...there's Deku... BUT OCHAKOOOOO so hotttttttt in this. Please it's so good.

9. someone to you by @some-kindofgnome When I think Megumi, I think this fic. it is so tender and so incredibly (and obviously) well written but is so fucking true to his character how can you not love it and how can you not love him?? Like the setting is gorgeous, the smut is so passionate and there's a babyyyyyyyyyy.

10. On Call by @lady-bakuhoe - This fic was sexy obviously... it's from the LBH. But here's the thing. i know I was supposed to be paying attention to Katsu... which... i did. But i was looking RESPECTFULLY at SHINDO in this. I was like "OH my eyes are open now miss Jo" BAHAHA

12. Birthday Blues by @katsukikitten - my starlight this one tore me up because as always you're just so good at describing those angsty feelings we all feel but don't like putting into words. You make it beautiful and lovely but still manage to make us feel it in our guts when we read it. I really remember going "Omg yes that is exactly how it feels to still feel lonely in a room full of people" and I think that's such a great skill to have baby.

13. On Warrior's Wings by @jirou-s - Christineeee lovely Christineeee I remember being absolutely blown away by this fic. I remember the reader and wanting to know if she got her vengeance. i remember how poetic and beautiful the language was when i read it.

15. Dad Headcanons by @kechiwrites - it is embarrassing how many times I reread these but it sparks joy so what can you do. ANYWHOO. I love them all I love reading at Baku as a dad. That will never change bahah.

[benkouji726]

Five times Alex surprised Forrest and one time he didn’t

Fourth Chapter! I can't believe it!

This chapter is all about Buffy. It took me longer because writing pet-human dynamic is just sooooo hard.

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Sometimes Forrest thought he should just rename Buffy Long to Buffy Manes and call it a day. Other times he was convinced that Alex only stuck around for the dog. He hadn’t know it was possible to feel jealous for both parties while simultaneously feeling love towards them when he saw two people (in this case a person and a dog) together, but Alex had stirred up so many raw and new feelings in him that it really shouldn’t come as a surprise.

So there he was, stood in his doorway, coming home from an exhausting work meeting, and was entirely engulfed in this swamp of feelings in his chest he almost stopped breathing for a minute.

Alex, wearing a white sweater and some yoga pants that seemed to be made of the softest material in the whole world, hair a mess, face relaxed and lying down on his stomach; half under Alex’s body, being held loosely but securely by his right arm, was a soft snoring Buffy.

They were not even lying together on the sofa, but at the foot of the sofa, on the floor, Buffy’s favorite chew toy next to them. Like they had played together for a really long time, both so happy they hadn’t wanted to stop, until they were too tired to even get on the sofa, they had to just lie down right there and fall to sleep, while cuddling.

And to think: Alex never wanted to sleep anywhere other than in the bed because the bed would be nicer to his leg; and Buffy never wanted to sleep next to anyone other than Forrest because she was a PRINCESS like that.

Safe to say it was the most beautiful thing Forrest had ever seen in his whole life.

——————————

More often than not, Forrest woke up to some (one-sided) conversation like this one.

“No, Buffy, you can’t eat that.”

“Don’t give that look, girl. You know I’m just looking out for you. You need healthier diet.”

Forrest smiled. Alex was so gonna lose that battle, again.

“Stop it. I know it always works on your papa, but it’s not gonna work on me.”

Well that’s a lie.

A fond sigh.

“OK, you win. But you have to walk with me a LOT longer today if we’re gonna burn all the extra calories. And this is non-negotiable.”

Yeah, bring out the captain voice. It would do absolutely nothing to the dog except maybe receiving some halfhearted tail wiggling.

And also getting Forrest hot and bothered.

He walked out to the kitchen, stood behind Alex, threw a glance over his shoulder to Buffy, and yep, she was happily eating her treats and totally ignoring Alex’s pretend glares. He hid his smile in between Alex’s shoulder blades, hands reaching around to sneak under his shirt so he could roam his bare stomach, and said in a husky voice:

“Stop fat-shaming my dog and come back to bed. She’s already gotten her treats. Now it’s my turn.”

Alex turned around in his embrace, pulled him even closer so they were only a breath away and looking into each other’s eyes. Then, and only then he rolled his eyes, deliberately and dramatically, he even shook his head a little for extra effect: “Her puppy eyes, your cheeky lines. You both only have ONE move. It’s getting old real fast.”

Well, since Buffy and he both got their treats even before breakfast, he’d have to respectfully disagree.

———————————

One time he walked in on them, snuggled up in bed, and Alex was telling her about his Lizard while SHOWING HER SOME PICTURES too.

“I think you and Willow would have made great friends.” He said, a little wistful, but mostly happy, smile evident in his voice.

Buffy made a low grunting sound in her throat as if she agreed.

———————————

They went to the fair thing regularly now, like some old couple. Forrest secretly liked it. But the catch was, whenever they went there, Alex ended up buying Buffy way too many toys, clothes or little hats. It was getting ridiculous.

“Alex, this is like, the third chew bone in this month alone. She really doesn’t need it.” Forrest whined, knowing perfectly well he was fighting a losing battle.

To his surprise though, Alex dropped the bone (Buffy turned to Forrest to give him the stink eye but he ignored her like a champ), and picked a fluffy teddy instead, which, ok, slightly better, but SO NOT THE POINT.

But Alex showed it to Buffy, she gave a happy wiggling, and next thing he knew, Alex was already paying for it.

Forrest shook his head. “You don’t ever get to say I’m spoiling her again. You are like, the most doting dad ever.”

They both froze at that.

Then Alex looked down at Buffy, smiled softly, and said, “I just like seeing her happy”. He looked up again, still all soft, reached out and held Forrest’s hand. “If that makes me a doting dad, so be it.”

—————————

He changed his screensaver on his phone to a picture of Buffy hugging the teddy that night.

—————————

Alex’s ex (the ex from his military days, not the one still didn’t show up in Forrest’s presence) came to Roswell one day, he called Alex, so the three of them were having a slightly uncomfortable but overall pleasant get-together.

The ex (Bill or something) was charming, funny and friendly. He obviously didn’t hang up on Alex like some other ex so that was a plus, but he sometimes still had heat in his eyes when Alex was smiling beautifully so Forrest decided to dislike him just in principle.

The dislike quickly turned to annoyance when Bill (or something) brought up his dog.

“By the way, Charlie whined when I told him I was gonna see you and I couldn’t bring him along. I guess he still misses you.”

Alex smiled politely, “I miss him too.”

“Please”, the ex snorted, “You never really warmed up to him. You were nice to him, sure, he loved you for it. But you were just not that fond of him. I always assume maybe you’re not a dog person or something.”

OK so the ex was apparently a clueless douche. Alex was the definition of a dog person in Forrest’s opinion. He opened his mouth to just say that when a hand on his knee squeezed to stop him.

“Yeah, maybe.” Alex replied, polite smile firmly in place.

The topic didn’t come up again until B-something left.

“So you wanna explain yourself, Mr Clearly-You-Are-A-Dog-Person?”

Alex rolled his eyes. “Can’t you just accept that Buffy is an exception to my not-loving-dogs rule?”

Forrest pretended to consider for a second.

“Though it is a fact that Buffy is the cutest girl on earth and she can pretty much win anybody over, I know it’s not the case. So spill. Was Charlie like, secretly hating you but pretended to like you in front of his dad?”

Alex choked on his milkshake. “What terrible world do you live in? With this level of dog conspiracy?”

It was a deflecting move if he’d ever seen one. So he just waited.

After a minute, Alex caved.

“It was not Charlie. It was Blake.” OK, not Bill then.

“Me and Blake, we had this on and off relationship. At first it was just some fun, blowing off steam, some actions in the shadow, that kind of things. But it got somewhat more serious as the time passed. He was local based, so when we had leaves, we would sometimes go to his house to spend time together.”

“Charlie was usually with his sister, but Blake would bring him home during his leaves. So whenever I spent time there, Charlie was always with us.”

He paused, a fond smile for the dog, and continued, “He liked me instantly, and I liked him too. Like you said, I am a dog person, I like dogs, dogs like me.”

Forrest was confused. “So why...?”

Alex sighed. “I liked Charlie, but I couldn’t let myself get attached to him. Because I didn’t see myself stay in the relationship with Blake for a long time. So if I got too attached, and the breakup inevitably happened, it would be too hard for me to handle.”

OK, that was understandable. But meanwhile, that would mean...

The realization hit Forrest like a train he was totally dumbstruck.

Alex seemed to sense his surprise, and blushed. But he didn’t stop talking.

“I opened myself completely to Buffy, because I feel completely safe and steady when I’m with you. I don’t worry about losing her, because I don’t worry about losing you.”

Forrest swallowed around the sudden lump in his throat, kissed Alex, and touched their forehead together.

“Do you think we should just rename her to Buffy Long-Manes?”

Alex laughed. “That is such a terrible name.”

He kissed back. “But I like it.”

I’m a little drunk right now so it’s letting me feel more okay with being more affectionate. I have a boyfriend. And hooo weee I really do like him. I’ve never met someone whose humor is spot on like mine. It’s really funny too tbh, “we always say 3rd times the charm” bc it was true about us. We got kind of cool two times before but nothing progressed until the third time. And now it’s just nice having someone who really makes you feel so important. We’ve been talking since January, became a more one on one thing in April and then official in August. And just yeah, he really does make me happy. I’m not a very verbally affectionate person, I’m very much a person who shows you’re important to me through touch. From a simple holding hands to having my hand on his forearm to just say “hey Idk what to say but I want you to know I’m here” but he’s very much a verbally affectionate person and I’m just not used to it. It’s crazy hearing someone tell me I’m their favorite person to talk to and that they miss me. Like it genuinely be feeling like a scam. He’s a shy boi for sure but I can’t lie it’s SOOOOO satisfying seeing someone shy become comfortable with you. It makes you feel so important.

I’m most likely seeing him tomorrow. Not sure when exactly, but I think I’m planning out a cute little picnic at the park for us. Once again I’m not a very affectionate person in a “cutesy” type of way and I feel hella ugly dead ass making a list of all the things I’m gonna do to set it up. But I did it and it’s exciting to look forward to it and setting it up. Bringing a blanket, food, his favorite candy, his go to alcohol, our fav chips, etc. Going to a park I’ve been to previously that’s pretty cute and hoping he thinks so too.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this type of way about anyone. It never gets towards getting serious, and now look, here I am. It feels nice feeling like I’m in a bit of a “grown up” relationship too. I don’t feel any resentment towards him like my past relationship bc I was never able to say how I feel, I was made to always feel like I’m doing something wrong, that telling him how I feel is wrong, etc. Anyways, off the point, it’s not about the ex, my main thing I was trying to get at was, it’s nice to ACTUALLY have discussions and express my own opinions and feelings on anything he says and it’ll get taken respectfully and won’t get turned into anything bad.

I hope it goes well. Idk how he’d react to me doing something lowkey cutesy like planning a date out bc he’s shy too, and is bad at accepting things too. It feels nice though, who would’ve thought I’d end up in anything serious though? I know I didn’t lol. Wasn’t expecting anything frfr serious til like I’m 28-29. I know it’s technically been official for a little over a month but it just feels different and who knows maybe this is all the honeymoon phase bc it’s the beginning I just know I feel a different feeling than my last relationship, let’s see how this thing goes though

The Batwoman (Sneak Peek)

Author’s Note:  Hi all!  So I know I’ve been been pretty dormant on a lot of my writing and I know I’m still redoing Criminal Magic, but I thought of this idea and I just had to try writing it.  Let me know what you think and feel free to @ me with comments!

Warnings: Dark/sexual references, innuendos, harsh language

Disclaimer:  The images used are NOT MINE

Special Thanks to @princesswagger15 and @youre-sooooo-funny for helping to inspire me to get started!  I love y’all!  😘❤

“The story I’m about to tell you is true.  Sometimes I wish it wasn’t but..we can’t go back.  We can only move forward.” - Vicky Went

“Oolong tea and blueberry cinnamon bun for Vicky!”

I walked over to the counter and accepted my order from the barista.

“Thanks Monty,” I said happily.

Russ “Monty” Montgomery was the only one at Monty’s who actually could get my order right.  It wasn’t a shocker that the guy had a good memory.  He was majoring in Information Systems.

“No problem,” he responded, “And did you get that job you applied for?”

“I’m still waiting for a call,” I replied, “I can’t rush them though.  This is the gig of a lifetime.  They could have found someone better for the job.”

“4.0 GPA upon graduation, countless hours of community service, president of the Good Friends Club,” Monty said as he counted off my accomplishments from college, “I feel like you’ve got it.”

I smiled at the compliment before heading to a table to eat my food.

Quietly, I looked out the window as I ate my food also-while looking at the bustling city outside.

Gotham was a lovely city.  Sure many would disagree with me, but I was too stupid back then to care.

In a weird way, Gotham reminded me of the human mind:  it was segmented into different parts, all of the parts were strongly different from one another, and each part had that special little thing that made it...odd.

My teachers always used to say that I was oddly optimistic for a girl born in the Narrows.

“Narrows kids usually aren’t worth anything,” Mr. Ortiz commented once, “But you?  You’re special.”

I wasn’t special, just “gifted.”

Naturally, I decided to get out of the harsh side of Gotham and head to college, and it was there that I found an interest in the thoughts of others.

After some years I got my credentials in psychology and graduated from Gotham Uni.

Then, I made the biggest mistake of my life.

My phone buzzed, and I remember making the fatal error of picking up the call.

“Hello?”

“Hello, is this Victoria Went?”

“Yes, this is she.”

“So glad I got in contact with you.”

“Sorry to interrupt but to whom am I speaking?”

“Oh sorry.  My name is Kate Joyner.  I’m the Head of the Therapy Department over at Arkham Asylum.  You recently applied to work here as a therapist.”

“Yes I remember.  Apologies Ms. Joyner.”

“No apologies necessary.  In fact, I’m calling to congratulate you.  Congratulations, you got the job.”

“Really?”

 My eyes bugged out of my head.

“Yup.  Sure, you do lack experience.  But Arkham needs some fresh blood.  And your skills and GPA show just the kind of intelligence we need to help this asylum’s patients.”

“Oh my God!  Thank you so much!”

“You’re very welcome, Ms. Went.  When can you start?”

“As soon as possible.”

“Excellent!  Can you come down today then for orientation around ten?  We need to fill out some forms and get your information.”

“Absolutely!  See you at ten.”

With that, I ended the call and happily ran up to Monty while he filled out another order.

“Problem?” He asked.

“I GOT THE JOB!”

With that, I let out a happy squeal and did a happy dance in the middle of the coffee shop.

I stared upon the gates of my new place of occupation.

The gate read ARKHAM ASYLUM in big metallic letters and there were two angels on either side.

The me of today now sees that they were there for protection from what was inside...

It was weird and dreary, almost as if the sun itself refused to shine on the place.

Nervously, I walked up to the gate operator, who seemed more than happy guzzling doughnuts and drinking coffee.

“Excuse me sir,” I asked, “My name is Victoria Went.  Miss Joyner in the psych division asked me to come in today?”

“Can I see your ID please?”

I gave it him and the portly man checked me in.

“Alright.  You’re on the list.”

The man then pressed a large, flashy red button and the gates opened.

“Go ahead.”

“Thanks,” I said gratefully.

“And kid?”

I looked back at him.”

“Be careful in there.”

I didn’t know why he said that at the time, but looking back I wish I heeded his warning.

Nodding, I headed inside, my trench coat and scarf billowing in he breeze.

Here goes nothing, I thought anxiously as the guards let me into the front door.

I walked up to the guard.

“Excuse me sir?”

The man regarded me, “Miss?”

“Hi,” I greeted respectfully, “I’m here for a job orientation with a Ms. Joyner.  She’s from the-”

“Psych division,” he said, “I know.  Come with me.  I’ll walk you there.”

I obediently followed the security guard and as I got deeper and deeper into the strange place, I heard...screams.

“What the hell is that?”  I had asked.

“Nothing,” the guard responded, “Just the prisoners.”

“You mean patients?”

You could hear the smirk in the guard’s voice.

“Nah kid, prisoners.”

That struck me as odd.  

Arkham, before I actually knew what it was, seemed so harsh to the people inside.

“Okay here the psych ward is.  Name’s Gideon.  But you can call me Stephen.  You be careful in there kid,” the guard warned as he headed back to his post. 

“Got it.  Thanks Gideon.”

One last time, I straightened my coat and headed inside the psych ward.

Again, biggest mistake ever.

Author’s Note:  And that is all for the first part!  The reason I’m divulging so little is because I wanna see how many people actually like it.  Hope y’all enjoyed it.  Like and comment if ya did!

Ok, some emojis for you then♡:

🌹(not that i dont know many of your otps, i just need to see you wax poetry about them😌)

👍

👅 (seriously. It's me. What did you expect?)

👀

Dhabrbfbwbr that is all❤

heyyy bestie. you probably saw the notification and wondered what the fuck I answered?? I bet you forgot about this ask from early December 😌 good, bc I did too 😌 a few days ago I accidentally noticed that I have 19 messages in my inbox, sooooo 😬

anyway. let's get into it!

🌹Ship that you have as an OTP: oh boy. so not really one true pairing, bc I have about a hundred. and obviously I immediately forgot every single one of them. idk, I can't really point at one ship and say "them! they're the ones!" bc that changes pretty much every week. today I talked to you for hours about nace, but this time last week it was bade. it changes all the time 🙃

👅 Ship that you find most sexy: why am I not surprised you sent this?? 😂 my brain keeps circling back to nace, which is entirely your fault for listening to me ramble about them for the past few hours. also, a certain scene I sent lives in my mind rent free. but this is a hard question, you're the thirsty one in this friendship, always objectifying, while I'm looking respectfully 😂

👀 Ship you’re curious about: I can't think of any right now? I think I watched every show that was on my watchlist bc of a specific ship

👎Ship that you can never see happening (I couldn't find 👍 in the list): okay, I answered this before, but since then I changed my mind, bc a notp I had is kind of... growing on me?? I've been hating them for three seasons, and just yesterday I was watching a the latest episode and I thought they're actually kinda cute now and well-written. I'm not naming them though bc I've had more than enough of their fans attacking me 🙃 so I guess anything is possible?

okay, this was... a struggle 😂 my brain refuses to cooperate. but it was fun nonetheless, and sooner or later (but most likely much much later) I'll get around to do the rest of the asks I haven't answered yet too.

college!junhui

the long-awaited (???) college junhui has arrived!!!

college!junhui

majors in dance

minors in acting

it was a complete mess when he was trying to decide which one to major in and which one to minor in

but he doesn’t regret his decision AT ALL

as much as he loves acting,,,,,,,,,dancing has more of a special spot inside his heart

since he was such a good student a lot of his friends expected him to go into like more,,,,,,,,science or math-y stuff,,,,,

but he was like nah i like dancing and acting

he met fellow dance major soonyoung in one of his classes and they were pretty much top 2 for the year

eventually, him, soonyoung, minghao, and chan formed a little group where they enter in lowkey dance competitions or just go dancing on the streets (minghao was pretty excited about that)

and it’s cute because they have a fanbase already (basically the entire population of the school)

and it’s even CUTER because they even have a name for the fanbase and they’re just a group of cuties who can dance really well honestly

they even have a website now and it’s approved by the school and i’m not saying he did but soonyoung totally designed the entire website by himself because he got so excited (and then he got yelled at by chan and minghao the next day because they were like!!!!!!!we wanted to help too!!! while junhui was just like lol,,,,,,,,,)

you happen to be the official photographer for the team

you don’t even know how it happened like they were accepting emails from people with photos that they took to see who they’d hire

and your friend apparently thought you were an amazing photographer (which you politely disagreed a few times but gave up eventually)

basically, your friend sent an email with your information + some photos that you took and they were like!!! ok yes we want this person

and you got a text message during your 20-minute lunch break saying that the little group of four dancers wanted to meet you regarding photographs and stuff

and you were like uhM???????i didn’t apply though and your friend was like DO IT

you ended up arranging a meeting with them in a small cafe

and of course they were like bring your camera!!! and you were just like ok,,,,,,,,,,,,

and tBH you feel as if they could literally pick anyone else like,,,,you’ve seen people in the film department with like thousand dollar cameras and those super fancy tripods + like three different lenses and you’re like are you sURE you want me because i have this one hand me down from my mom for my fifteenth birthday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

they ask you to take some trial pictures and videos because they want to be sure that the photographer they hire is 100% good

and you’re SHAKING like i did NOT siGN up for this

but you do it anyways and they!!! really like what you took and they’re just like we’ll pay you for every photo/video if you don’t mind

and you’re just like uhm ok,,,,,,,,,i’ll do it

and YEAH that’s how you meet junhui sure but like you mostly keep in contact with soonyoung who’s like the team “leader” so he’s the one who messages you when they have another event and the address

and when you’re sending in the photos and videos through email you’re also emailing soonyoung so your interactions with junhui, minghao and chan are suuuuper limited

other than pulling them aside before they go on stage to take a photo of their outfit (individually and as a group) you don’t really talk

you’d like to get to know them better though because it’s kind of,,,awkward not knowing the people you work for? like even if it’s not a “professional” job you should probably know more than just their names,,,,right?

you start getting closer with soonyoung first because he starts messaging you more occasionally just to chit chat about your day

and the rest of the team are like ????????? when you meet them one day and you’re like hitting it off with soonyoung talking about something that he mentioned last night at 1am

junhui’s lowkey like why,,,,,,,,,soonyoung why not me,,,,,,,,,,,,,;;;;;;;;

and OF COURSE minghao notices because junhui was muttering under his breath in chinese and minghao really wants to laugh because LOL what do you mean soonyoung’s stealing the love of your life

soonyoung eventually notices how junhui’s always like,,,,,,,,sending him death stares whenever he’s talking to you

and of courSE you don’t notice but soonyoung’s always like why,,,,,,,is junhui glaring at me asdjfgaklsdf what did i do this time

junhui made minghao pINKY PROMISE to not tell anyone but like,,,,,,,is minghao really gonna keep that promise??? nah

he snitched on junhui to chan who was like :OOOOO who then went to soonyoung who was like !!!!!!! now i gotta set them up

when junhui came to practice one day and saw you sitting there with your camera in the empty room (because soonyoung totally didn’t tell you that he was setting you up with junhui,,,,,,,,,,,,who does that right??????) he was like sajdkglhSDGKAJLSDHFLAS

you were suuuuuper confused because like,,,,,,soonyoung message you about wanting to film a behind the scenes @ the practice room but literally,,,,,,,,,only junhui showed up so like what is this

you and junhui greet each other respectfully before going back into silence,,,,,and you’re both on your phones

you messaging soonyoung like ?????i thought there was a filming today where are you minghao and chan???

and junhui’s messaging the group chat like I KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING COME TO PRACTICE N OW please i might die

soonyoung replies to junhui like they’re meSSAGING ME RIGHT NOW YOU’RE BORING THEM

junhui’s just like UHM???????

he looks up and sees you’re still sitting on the ground messaging someone and he’s like,,,,,,,uh-hum,,,,,,clears throat,,,,,,,dasidjgaksd excuse me???????

you look up like yes? and he’s like klSHAGLKJSDF THEY’RE SO CUTE WAIT

internally you’re also like ajsdkghaksjdf because did i mention that junhui’s wearing a sleeveless shirt and just,,,,,,,armsarmsarmsarmsarms,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,arms????????????

he looks really awkward and you’re just like,,,,,,is something the matter??

he’s literally DYINg inside because,,,,,,,,,,frickin’ soonyoung just HAD to do this didn’t he,,,,,,,,,,

“soonyoung actually,,,,,,,might have given you the wrong date he meant next thursday,,,i’m really sorry;;;;;;;;;;;;”

of course you’re kind of annoyed because,,,,,you just sat in the practice room for an hour and your phone is barely at 20%

you shrug it off though like okay i’ll just go grab a late lunch and go back to my dorm

but then junhui’s like oh!!!!do you want to,,,,,,,go get lunch together??

and you’re like aksdhgjjkladsfwHAT

but of course you gotta say yes because this is wen junhui aka the guy you’ve had your eyes on since like,,,,,,,when you first started this job

he takes you to one of those street food truck places

and you’re like ??????there’s so many options what do i get

but then he winks and he’s like i know a guy here don’t worry his food is probably the best

he knocks on one of the windows with a VERY CLEARLY LABELLED “closed” sign on it and you’re like aksdhgklasdf jun i think this one’s closed

but then the door window opens and a slightly annoyed looking mingyu pops his head out to tell off the “damn person who can’t read a fucking sign”

he sees jun and he’s like oh,,,,,,,,okay i can let this slide

and then he sees you and he’s like OH WHO’S THIS CUTIE BESIDE YOU

junhui just like,,,,,,,stares mingyu down like I DARE YOU TO TRY AND STEAL THEM

mingyu while sweating nervously: here’s your noodles,,,,,,,would you like a drink to go too????

junhui literally BOLTS OUT OF THERE with you because he swears that if you stayed near mingyu any longer you would either 1: get sneezed on or 2: get stolen from him and that was n o t about to happen today nope

when you take a bite of the noodles though you’re like ??????this is really good???? and junhui’s like i kNOW right ((((((((((((: mingyu’s a really good chef

and without knowing he starts to promote mingyu as a great person and you’re like,,,,,,,,are you,,,,,,,in love with him??

and junhui’s like nO what no i’m not in love with mingyu i’m in love with you

and you’re like DHSAGLKJSDFLA SDF WHAT

junhui.jpeg

and then he starts screaming because DID HE REALLY JUST CONFESS TO YOU LIKE THAT EWAHGSKDJLAFGSDFG

he starts rambling like I MEANT i’m in love with how dedicated you are to this work y’know like it’s not even a professional job it’s not like it’s going on your resume or anything but you’re still putting your all into this

you’re still like asdkghasdklf DAJKHSDKLGASDF because??????????what????? are you saying that the person you like likes you back!??!!?????????????

he eventually shuts up and you’re just like,,,,,,can i be 100% honest with you???

and junhui’s like ASKJDGHAKSJLDF they’re gonna reject me i feel it

but no!!!!!!!you don’t because let’s be honest you kinda love him too,,,,,,,,have you seen him he’s a giant puppy

after like 10 more minutes of you two just kinda,,,,,,talking he decides to walk you back to your dorm

when soonyoung asks how your little “date” went junhui just smiles that really wide and adorable smile

and the rest of the team’s like !!!!!!!!!!!!our plan worked!!!!!!!!

when you go to film their ACTUAL behind the scenes @ dance practice video junhui literally is hugging you every single second that he’s on break

soonyoung’s like awe,,,,cuties

but dino and minghao are like ????????we have a competition in 4 days jun!!!!!!!!!we need practice akdjshgaksd stop ENCOURAGING THEM

you guys are a cute couple though

you frequently go back to mingyu’s food truck even when the closed sign is up and mingyu’s just like WHY do i even bother hanging up the sign when you guys are going to come anyway?

sometimes junhui has to miss practices because he has work to do for his minor too but you always get something from mingyu and bring it to him

and he gets sooooo pouty when he sees you messaging/emailing soonyoung or taking photos of the other guys and you’re just like junhui!!!!!!this is my job i am literally getting paid to take photos of you guys even when you have hundreds of fans also taking photos and videos

junhui as a boyfriend is,,,,,,,so soft i’m crying ;~;

you’ve all seen his lives right??? adorable

he got a minor role for a movie and he got so excited he almost broke down your door and your roommate was like SHGAKLSDF we’re gonna get in so much trouble go oPEN the door alREady

wouldn’t stop smiling that night because aksdjhgalksd he!!!!!!!!!got a role!!!!!!!!!!!!wooOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

please hype him up every single second of every day he deserves it seriously

of course you’re his date at the premiere of the movie ((((((((:

OKAY SO while mingyu’s food truck is your go-to food source

junhui also really loves cooking for you

remember on 13 castaway boys when he made the 饼 (the chinese bread)????

he makes that for you too hehehe

and a lot of other chinese dishes (he always double checks with his mom to make sure he’s not going to make a mistake and accidentally poison you or something)

it always tastes amazing

he also teaches you some of the dishes and you’re just like wait hold up that’s a lot of garlic

he’s a super sweet boyfriend aksdhgaksdf i want a junhui ;~;

he’s also so frickin’ supportive of you it’s adorable

like no matter what your major is (even if you’re undecided) he’ll support you no matter what

failed a test? no problem junhui’s hyping you up and helping you prepare for the next one

stayed up all night to finish an essay? that’s okay because junhui’s on his way to your dorm with coffee and a snack from the nearby cafe

he’s always ready to hype you up no matter what because!!!!!!!!he’s so in love with you he’d be ready to do anything

soonyoung once teased him about how it’s thanks to him that you and junhui are together and junhui literally did a 90° bow to thank him

minghao soonyoung and chan were like LKHFAJSKGHASF WHAT

they barely managed to stop him from getting on his knees

but he can’t help it he’s honestly so thankful to those three for giving him a chance with you

Rafael Barba / Chasm

Part One

For @xemopeachx: 

Prompt: “I shouldn’t be in love with you” 

I didn’t mean for this to be combined with this sequel, but it ended up happening sooooo. I love @xemopeachx  and her writing, and she’s a very lovely person so I hope she enjoys this piece! But I loved writing this sequel. The first part isn’t really necessary to read, though it gives some context to what happens. I hope you all enjoy <3 

Rafael Barba wasn’t the teasing sort.

Well, for the most part.

“Then maybe we should do it again sometime,” He would like to say there were no weight to those words, that they had carelessly slipped from his lips as a biting and childish retort to his colleague, but the words carried a promise, one if carried out would prove dangerous, for both their careers. Each day, Rafael and you would toe that ever pervasive line, the one neither was allowed to cross, and every time you both dared to do so, was another spot the line became ever so more blurred. And though Rafael wished he had a defense to his own part in this act, he almost wished to echo his five year old self and proclaim that you started it.

You had started here as a greenhorn attorney, fresh out of law school, and the District Attorney decided to give you a chance. When you first started, fresh faced and truly ignorant to the abhorrent crimes that had twisted your stomach and forced you running into the bathroom. At that moment, he had given you a month before you quit. 

And as he waited for you outside the door, to his surprise, he didn’t hear you force up your insides as he thought he would, instead he heard something utterly more disturbing; your sobs.

He stood at the door, contemplating whether to enter, to break the professional boundary, but instead your cries quieted and he heard the water run. You emerged from the bathroom, and it was the first time he had noticed your eyes. Even bloodshot, your irises startled him, not with their color or hue, but their sheer ferocity contained within them. You walked past him without another word. 

And to his surprise you didn’t quit. Not when you took over that case after much begging on your own behalf; not when you took matters into your own hand and found a place for the victim to stay, safe from her husband at last; not when you did the cross of the monster who had bloodied and beaten his own wife to a pulp and got the jury to see past the facade of his charm and innocent; and not when you got your very first guilty verdict, not just as second chair, but first. 

It also marked the first night of many nights that the two of you would share a nightcap, for both wins and losses. The drinks were doubles on the nights you lost, and the mindless chatter became intimate conversations, while the thoughtless touches became more habit than happy accidents. Rafael knew he was playing with fire, and he only hoped if he got burned, you would burn alongside him. 

“Y/N,” Your head snapped up from your work, as Rafael stood in the doorframe, arms crossed. “Are you busy?”

Your face seemed to consider him, and your options of getting out of this, but upon seeing his expression, you decided against escape. “It’s fine, come in,”

It had been three weeks since the incident on the couch, and luckily, it didn’t seem that anyone had seen the two of you “comfortably” sleeping, as you had put it. However, it seemed that the occurrence had left you more than a little disconcerted. As he sat, you seemed to grow anxious, your pen whipping back and forth between your fingers.

Now, each conversation with you played out as if it was ripped from the manual of appropriate conduct and professional responsibility. Each request for dinner or drinks was respectfully declined, any personal question was answered in the vaguest possible terms, and you spent more time working in your office than you had the entire three years you had worked in this office.

“What do you need?” Your tone was neutral, but it stung more than if you had screamed at him. At least, there would be an ounce of emotion.

Do you have feelings for me? “Do you have the materials for the Dunham case?” You dug through your desk, your fingers fishing around in the mess. You should tell me how you feel. “You should clean out your desk,”

Your eyes flitted up to roll them. “Thanks for the tip,” You found the file, handing it to him. “Anything else?”

Rafael was a man of carefully controlled desire and fulfillment, he thought he tucked away notion of romance and love into a box that was collecting dust underneath his mountain of case files. His romantic life has been one failed relationship after another, nothing but pipe dreams and fairy tales. And perhaps it was because he allowed himself to pushed away, or he did the pushing himself. 

However, with you, it was different. Each time he pushed, you would match him back with a shove of your own. Sometimes you would nudge him, prod him into doing what he knew was the right thing, and other times you would send him sprawling flat on his ass. But there was that ever present line the two of you never dared to cross. However, the line had grown less of divide and more of a chasm, one that Rafael was threatening to fall into if he pushed any further. He would be willing to fall, but only if you fell with him. “Not unless you have something for me on the defense’s memo?”

You sighed, a look of irritation creeping into your expression, the bags hanging from your eyes told him that you hadn’t slept well, perhaps in weeks. “Not unless you count jack squat as something,”

“Define jack squat,” He gestured for you hand him your notes, and you pulled them from beneath several stacks of files. He took the file from your hand, flipping through it and his eyebrows raised. “You weren’t exaggerating,” You shook your head as he sat on the couch, packet in hand. “This isn’t nothing, come here,”

You joined him, an inch of hesitation in your expression. “What?” You sat beside him, looking on. He explained the inconsistency he had found in their memo, his mind more than aware of your hand on his thigh as you leaned closer to read what he was referring to. “We should have Olivia check this out,” You then turned to see his eyes not on the memo, but looking into your own.

“Have you slept?” He asked gently, and you scrunched your nose, shaking your head.

“Rafael, we don’t need to talk about that,” You tried to withdraw, but he placed a hand on your shoulder, and you froze, your gaze fixed downwards.

“It’s not a matter of ‘needing’ to,” Your eyes squeezed shut, as a single tear streamed down your cheek. “Y/N,”

“I haven’t slept well the past few days,” You admitted, pushing your hair back. “I’m fine, I just have been having trouble, staying asleep. Nightmares,” You shook your head as if that would tear the images from your mind.

“When’s the last time you slept well?” Your face seemed to grow a rosy hue, as you sighed, sweeping your hair to one side, using your hair as a curtain.

“The time on the couch, I guess,” 

“My offer still stands,” Your cheeks flushed once again, and Rafael couldn’t help, but want to do it again and again.

Rafael couldn’t help that his lips quirked up in a small smile, and you caught sight of it out of the corner of your eye. “Don’t be smug,”

“I’m sorry, have you met me?” You let a watery laugh slip past your lips.

“Did the incomparable Rafael Barba just burn himself?” He felt a smile pull on his lips, as you finally met his gaze with tears still falling from your cheeks.

“Anything to make you laugh,” He brushed the tears from your cheeks so gently, the pad of thumb brushing ever so lightly, almost afraid you would break apart in his hands. You allowed him to do so, relishing in the attention as your eyes fluttered, looking down, before looking up again. You took his hand and pressed it your cheek, another tear rolled over his fingers.

“I shouldn’t be in love with you,” You whispered, almost a reverent prayer, as if god would hear your words and make it so.

“I know,” He leaned closer, feeling your sharp intake of breath. And with his next words, he stepped past the line and into the chasm: “But I am,”

And you went with him.

I ummm might've written something 👀 it's not UNO but it IS Space-CAH sooooo ENJOY!!!! 😁

Zev glanced down at the black card in her hand once more. "Why am I all sticky?" printed in crisp Aurebesh. Before her lay the face-down pile of white cards her friends have choosen. She sighed, expecting the worst, and turned the stack over to read them out loud.

"Oiled mudhorn wrestling," she rolled her eyes as she set the card face-up on the table. Leo snickered. She repeated the action for each response card. "Jabba the Hutt, a junk ship full of corpses, premature thorax ejection, His Majesty Lord Palpatine (long live the Emperor), and...bees?"

The group erupted into laughter at her confusion. "Why bees?"

"Why not bees?" Kiergan asks through a swig of his beer.

"Okay fine, sure. Bees wins."

"No no no, it's 'bees?' You gotta make it a qestion each time," Corin giggles as he takes the card from her, immediately taking a drink from his own bottle afterwards.

It was quite harder to play this party game with a bunch of impassive Mandalorians, but not impossible. The losers per turn all had to take a drink from their respective cups, so the assortment of ex-Stormtroopers and aliens waited respectfully as each Mando left the room to remove their helmet and take a swig. Zev trusted the group enough that she knew they wouldn't be cheating on this one, judging by the jovial sway of Paz's shoulders or the suggestive glances she could just see Din making at Corin behind the beskar. Who, in turn, had a goofy smile of his own plastered across his flushed face and leaned against the Mandalorian when he returned.

Now it was Leo's turn to be the Card Emperor. She elbowed the fool to her right and he startled.

"Oh sorry, I was just--" He smiled sheepishly in that stupid cute way he often did.

"Don't look at me, look at the cards."

Leo picked up a black card from the stack and read it aloud: "Daddy, why is mommy crying?"

Raga immediately flipped over and passed a white card to Leo's awaiting hand. He gave her a confused look but she silently leaned back to wait. The rest of the group deliberated and eventually handed their responses to Leave-it.

"Daddy, why is mommy crying?" He repeated before reading out the response cards. "My sex life, a subscription to Rodian's Fitness, The PTSD from the destruction of Alderran--"

"What the KRIFF guys, that is NOT cool!" Cara shot up in her seat and aimed her blaster at Raga from across the table. "Was that you?!"

In response, Raga trained her own blaster on the ex-Rebel. "So what if it was? That was a good card!"

"Ladies, ladies! Please! It's all a game, we're all here to have fun, right?" Leave-it tried to soothe them.

"Shut it, small fry," Cara growled. Leo shrank in his seat while Zev rose to defend him. Before the violence could escalate further, Paz laid a (for once) calming hand on Raga's vambrace and lowered her weapon.

"He's right. It's just a game," he said, glaring at Cara in a clear threat.

"You weren't saying that when you had your knife at my throat about ten minutes ago," Din mumbled.

"And that was then. This is now."

"Fine." Cara holstered her weapon and sat back down, taking a heavy swig from her bottle as she did so.

A few more rounds came and go without further issue: Harouko wins "It's a pity that kids these days are all getting involved with blank" with "The Rebellion", Corin wins "What's a girl's best friend?" with "A semiautomatic blaster rifle" (he waited to use it on Cara's turn as Card Emperor), then again on the next round of "What helps Palpatine unwind?" with "A gentle caress of the inner thigh" that makes everyone wince and cringe.

The game became even more ridiculous and wild as the group became more and more intoxicated. Paz wins "What will always get you laid?" with "Harder, Lord Vader" and subsequently prompts at least five minutes of drunkenly mimicking Force choking with varying degrees of success to various members at the table. Din wins "How am maintaining my relationship status?" with "The gentle lovehonks of a lusty tauntaun" to which everyone at the table has to take a time out from laughing to drink.

"In Coruscanti Jail, word is you can trade 200 deathsticks for blank," Raga reads out next. "The Force....wait wait who the hell played this one, it doesn't even make sense!"

"Look, sometimes you gotta just throw out a card because it's shit, okay? You just gotta." Paz replies, not even waiting to see who won from her round before walking towards the door with his fourth--or was it fifth?--half empty beer bottle in hand.

"You could've used that on the last one, di'kut!! 'I drink to forget blank'?? EASY!!" Raga calls to him. Paz sends a rude hand gesture back instead that she scoffs at. "Love you too."

More rounds are won and lost, more alcohol is consumed. More laughter and almost-fights occur. The night wanes on in the stronghold of defectors and all are glad the long hallways are empty or else they might wake the dead by their noise. And Din and Corin are even more glad that the child can safely sleep through all the noise back in their own room, because this drinking game was definitely not for young ears to overhear.

"What did the Empire airdrop to the children of Lothal?" Mose reads out before he winces at the very first card. "Police brutality."

"Maker, that's harsh," Kiergan winces. "I had a friend from the Academy who was assigned to Lothal."

"Harsh but true, right?" Corin says as he nabs the black card from Mose's grip to add to his growing stack of wins. The snap of Din's head towards his companion made Corin pause. "What?"

"Okay, that's it. No more Cards Against the Galaxy for you tonight."

"But I'm winning," Corin whined as Din hauled him up by the armpit. He dropped his cards and they scattered across the table, looking like a sad loth-kitten held by his scruff. Din looped an arm around Corin's waist to guide him out the door and back to their quarters.

"Nope, I don't wanna know what kind of kriffed-up dark wartime humor you have when you're drunk and sociable, we are going to bed right now."

"But Drop loved this game," Corin whispered, not loud enough to be heard over the racous laughter and conversation of the group.

"Watch out for the lusty tauntauns!" Paz teased at their retreating backs.

The look Din shot him could freeze Mustafarian magma.

Sadly we gotta keep family game nights family friendly cause my grandma would have a fit if we played cards against humanity with her. I much prefer that game, but brutal uno is funny af to be honest.

Hahaha, that would have been awesome to play with grandma! xD But to be honest, UNO nights at my house was a LOT less family friendly than CAH. Sooo much anger xD 

And now I’m picturing UNO nights with the characters...
