#i can just imagine johnny not wanting to change any part of v's appearance

[fading4ngel]

AUGHHGH??? my brain is so fucking awful like why did i just imagine johnny in the temperance ending not long after taking over v's body laying in bed cradling his face.

just like,, curled up, hands on his own cheeks like he's holding v's face in them.

Since you guys enjoyed my male cyberpunk romance options post, I decided to finally get to work on the female/non-binary ones. So first of all, let's start it off with our main girls, Judy and Panam. I plan on doing a part 2 and currently working on the part 2 for the boys.

1st. Judy Alvarez:

I enjoyed her romance quite a bit and love her as a character and I believe since we don't have any lore for her or anything that convinces me otherwise that she should be bi. I think she should be strictly for female/non-binary V with and more feminine features.

I feel that she should've had her own ending and not one that ties into Panam's, one where you decide to leave Night City with her, and or I would've enjoyed it if you could've taken any one of your serious romance options out of town. I feel that an ending with V deciding to call up Judy and there is an option to pack up your things, at least your weapons and clothes and just leave to the next city over. It ends up with you helping Judy and packing up your things in her van, Judy decides to drive and asks you where do you plan on going, you can choose from 3 options. 

The first choice you can say anywhere and that you don't care, you just want to live your final moments with Judy. The second choice should be something like Atlanta to see your family and or to wherever Judy used to live in the past. The last choice you can choose to give Judy some money to leave town and say to wait for her in the next town over so it can lead to you choosing whether to go with Hanako's plans or Johnny's. I can imagine the last ending resulting in Judy being seen,   arguing years later to keep your stuff when she's selling some of her old things. She ends up fighting to keep the necklace that V is always seen with and she wears it, it ends with Judy entering her van and promising to never forget you.

Also, I believe that she and most of the serious romance options should have at least one quest where you can go on a date with your partner, I believe hers would be you helping her with Clouds. Though it's not much of a date, you insisted on helping her fix things, and you guys spend most of your time trying to protect Clouds from The Tyger Claws who end up trying to attack again. It ends with Judy losing hope in Clouds, almost wanting to give up on the place but you can choose to convince her to keep fighting for Clouds. Or to give up and just sell the place and let all the hard work you guys did go to waste. If you choose the first, it leads to Judy promising to come up with more things and saying how she'll make some calls to some more people. The first choice ends with you both making out and you falling asleep at her place after she orders pizza and watches a few movies with you.

The second choice ends with Judy being hopeless and asking to be alone for the moment, ruining the date almost and putting a small dent in your relationship.

I believe that Judy is pretty well developed for a love interest and as a character, she stands strong on her own and is an interesting character who fits well with V. I enjoy their relationship as I do with most of the relationships which are very adult in the way that V tries not to rush things and doesn't promise their love interests the world. The love interests have their own lives and don't act like a bunch of teens or young adults, trying to make drama out of something small. They respect V, they add more to V and give V another reason to keep fighting, another reason to want to live, to get the damned chip out of their head.

Also, I want more Johnny and Judy interactions in the sense that I want to hear more of his thoughts on Judy and hear how he feels about V and them being together. He doesn't seem to hate her and maybe even would like to see that if you romanced Judy and did the Temperance ending he tells only her or your romance interest that you're gone. Well, he does it vaguely or sends your romance interest an anonymous email, vaguely stating that V is gone and that they disappeared/passed. Judy I feel would react in confusion as well as emotionally, she's nearly crying in the voicemails and is talking about the email or voicemail Johnny sent and is asking where are you.

2nd. Panam Palmer:

I like Panam Palmer as a character and I feel that her quests do explore a lot of the nomad lifestyle, her quests explore more about the people of the nomad lifestyle. I feel that she should've been bi and I was hoping that she and Evelyn were the 2 bi options because literally in my first playthrough was worried I was gonna romance her. Cause she was flirting a lot from what I saw and thought that you'd be able to romance her during the sandstorm. I feel she should've been bisexual or pansexual along with Evelyn.

I feel she should be able to be easily romanced by male/non-binary V with a more masculine appearance and she should've been a little harder to get with by a female V/non-binary V with a more feminine appearance. Also, is it just me but I wasn't a big fan of her sex scene, imo I feel they should've changed the sex scene to possibly happening during the sandstorm or after V confesses to dying. Or even them making out in the big ass tower before being interrupted by Saul. Also, wouldn't have minded learning more about Panam in terms of hobbies, like I would've loved it if she was a singer or was a decent guitar player. I also would've enjoyed scenes where we actually just chill with the Aldecaldos and like chill by the campfire or help out with some of their everyday problems, etc.

I like her but I didn't feel a seriously deep connection to her like I did with the other 3 romance options, I wish they added more depth to her and more of a serious tone to her. I do like the more serious tone towards the end and how her path explored being a nomad, what it means to have family, etc.

I do wish everyone in terms of romances had as many quests, depth, and just effort put into but her path is decent just not my favorite personally.

I feel she and Evelyn should've been the main bi options, she should've been easier to get with a male' V but also should've been able to date fem' V. The paths should've been similar or even show Panam having fem' V be her first-ever official girlfriend, show a new side to Panam with fem' V. I would've seeing Panam being a little shy and or a bit reserved around fem' V, I would've enjoyed seeing her hesitate a bit first before having her first kiss with V. I would've also enjoyed love scenes for bi characters being kinda different in the sense that I would've enjoyed Panam and male' V's love scenes to be raw, a bit filthy, and Panam is not holding back. Maybe it's just me but I disliked her love scene with all the green and all the switching really turned me off tbh. I would imagine Panam and fem' V have a love scene either being in a tent or during a quest in which fem' V and her share some beers, look at the stars, and relax.

Her love scene with fem' V would show a more gentle, natural, and aesthetic kind of scene, a lot of kissing, Panam going down on you, you kissing/nibbling on Panam's ear whilst you slip your hand in between her legs. It ending with Panam's arm wrapped around you and you wake up to the morning sun above you.

I feel another quest she should've had was you and V (Doesn't matter what gender) could've gone out on a road trip all around the badlands and you guys just have a good time together. Blasting music and making fun of each other's music, drinking beers, turning up to some music, and you both kissing in the backseat much to Johnny's annoyance. 

3rd. Evelyn Parker:

So I feel she should've been the main female bi romance option and she should've held a much bigger part in the story, becoming either a replacement for T-Bug if she dies in your playthrough or just finding out about her. She at first could be bitter towards you considering how you treated her in the beginning or she can come off as distant and wanting nothing to do with you at first. She wants to run from you and talks about leaving Night City with Judy, how she needs a fresh start. Similar to Judy, she stays because of how close she's grown to you, because of how it's hard to leave you to your inevitable death all alone, she finds it hard to leave you after I'd say her first 3 or 4 quests. She'd be one of the mysterious and harder romances to get, considering that at first, V thinks Evelyn wants someone who can help her and help her solve her problems. But in reality, she wants someone who will have her back, someone she can trust, someone who will make her life worth living.

I'd imagine she'd have about 3 to 5 quests and 2 of those quests lead to a romance, her quests would be about finding The Woodsman, getting rid of him, taking care of T-Bug, etc. I'd imagine that her romance starts in her second or third quest, she doesn't quite trust you yet but she's finding herself falling you all the time.

One of her missions would probably be her either taking you out to a really expensive bar or something where it ends with a love scene that progresses to the car if you're male' V. But if you're fem' V I feel the love scene would progress to her apartment, Evelyn pegs me as being kinda kinky but nothing like Meredith who broke the kinky scale. I'd imagine in the love scene with fem' V she'd be choking you a little bit, caressing your face and she's in control this time, you eat her out, she fingers you right before you come before fucking you from behind with her fingers. She's also making you suck on her fingers. It ends with fem' V waking up to Evelyn rushing out of the door, saying she has business to take care of and that she enjoyed last night and would later text you asking to meet up at her apartment. She asks if you want something serious and you can choose what you want your relationship to be, if you choose something more serious she ends up giving you a key to her apartment. 

Male' V love scene would have Evelyn being more submissive but more like a power bottom, she gives male V' oral which leads to you fucking in the backseat of her car in the missionary position. Leads to her riding you until you both come. She'd be pulling on your hair, she'd grab your hand and make you choke her for a little bit, she's kissing on your neck a lot, etc. It'd end with Evelyn lighting up a cigarette and asking if you'd take her home, you take her home and it ends with you kissing her before she goes home and asks you to call her in the morning. This leads to her calling to ask you if you want something more serious or something less than serious with the first option ending up with you getting a key to her apartment.

She'd play a decent role in the game, actively working towards getting the chip out and getting things back to the way they were. I imagine in one of the endings specifically The Temperance ending, she'd be one of the few to know that Johnny took over and it ends with her begging Johnny to give her a response, to tell her something. I'd imagine Johnny is fine with her at least after a while but at first, he's not gonna be too nice to her.

4th. Meredith Stout:

She could remain simply a one-night stand but what I would enjoy is being able to initiate either phone sex or be able to meet up with these one night stands again. But she also could have a few more quests, maybe some that revolve around her missions she can't get done without you and it leads to V wanting to romance her and wanting something more serious. Call me a bitch but I personally can't see Meredith wanting or feeling as though a relationship would be right at this point in her life. To me, Meredith from our first interactions come off as kinda manipulative and a bit unhinged when things don't go her way, maybe V helps kick her entitled and stuck up habits. Makes her realize how she sees people who don't have as much as beneath her is a terrible way to see people and a terrible way to think.

Or you could just screw around with her and help each other with whatever missions and shit like I'd imagine that she'd be apart of the endings or plays a similar role to Alt being able to help you take down Arasaka. I'd imagine if you romanced her or made a big impact on her she'll agree but if you are just fuck-buddies and or haven't completed all of her quests then she'll hang up or say she can't. If you do she manages to get militech and what not to help as reinforcements to help you in some way so you can get to Mikoshi in one piece or at least help you most of the way. But the endings still are the same but in the credits, she talks about how she hasn't heard from you and how she just wants to know if she's alive. She says she respects if you just want to be gone off the face of the earth.

Sorry Meredith stans but I can't see her being too serious with you if so then she's gonna spend time bettering herself before she delves into a serious relationship with you. But I'd imagine if you did have an impact on her, in The Sun ending/Path Of Glory she'll be in your bed and she'll be a bit kinder towards you and you'll have relationship problems.

5th. Misty Olszewski:

I love her as a character and how sweet she is, I feel that she could've had a deeper relationship with V, and them becoming best friends could've also been a good thing. She gives me pansexual vibes very much and will be willing to date all V's just treat her with love and respect. But I do feel that if you were able to romance her, the relationship would happen almost like a one night stand or something, maybe you both get drunk and sex happens. I feel Misty would feel as though she's betraying Jackie and being with you, which makes things complicated and weird. If anything I feel she'd be included in DLC as a more serious romance option, any DLC where Misty has time to process Jackie's death and has time to grieve. Any DLC that is later on or caters to an ending such as maybe the Nomad ending or The Sun ending perhaps.

First of all, she'd have like 3 or 4 quests where you just try and grieve with each other and or just be good friends, I'd imagine that one of the quests would be you suggesting teaching her how to swim or something because something tells me she wouldn't know how. Misty comes off as shy but open to try it if you give her enough encouragement and make her feel like things will be fine. You both go hang out somewhere out of town and end up going swimming and you teach her, but maybe something happens similar to Judy with the relic where you end up fainting or passing out. She ends up saving you miraculously and expresses how she feels like she's losing you and how she feels you're withering away from Night City. It results in Misty taking you back to your apartment, insisting you rest and try and get some sleep but you can insist on her staying and if she does, she ends up sleeping in bed with you and a kiss happens. She ends up pushing you away or the night after and saying how it's not fair to Jackie. How she enjoys your company but things feel better with you guys being friends, insisting that it was wrong to have a romantic relationship just sometime after Jackie passed.

I imagine things with her can end up being weird and awkward for a little bit afterward but she remains your good friend and she genuinely worries for you a lot, she won't play too big of a role in the game. But would play a similar role to Judy, I'd imagine that if you didn't romance anyone but her or if you romanced Judy, you'd be able to pick her to take along with you in the Nomad ending.

She'd be apart of the small list of romance options/good friends you'd be able to take with you in the Nomad ending.

She's really sweet though and you learn about her insecurities, learn more about her relationship with Jackie and how he planned on teaching her how to swim, he planned on getting her a beagle or finding her a dog. You learn a lot about Jackie and her and she's a really good friend of yours who wants to take things slow and make sure things are great when you start a more serious romantic relationship.

6th. Claire Russell:

She should've been a romance option or at the very least a ons, she might be straight but I'd say she gives off strong bi or pansexual vibes, she'd date any kind of V regardless of gender. I'd imagine that sometime after you murder the corpo cunt who killed her husband, she calls you up asking for a drink or asks you to meet up at her garage. She expresses how she thought she'd feel better after hearing he's dead but she feels the same, you both get a bit drunk and talk about past relationships and struggles. You both end up dancing to some music and it leads to you both slow dancing and if you play your cards right then you'll end up being able to kiss her. Claire and you both end up on the couch in her living room and you both have a grand time, I imagine she kisses you a lot, gives you plenty of praise in between sex, and she gave you some oral.

Afterward, I can imagine she wants to be with you but she needs a little more time to just enjoy being alone, dealing with Dean's death and such. Also, she talks about cars a lot and you can find her at her garage fixing up Beast and you can talk with her about fixing up your cars and anything like that. She doesn't play a huge role but she'll call you and you can call her before the final mission, similar to River you don't tell her what's up and you tell her how you'll always be her biggest fan. How you want her to keep racing and keep living her best life, she gets a little suspicious but can't put her finger on why you're saying all this. In the credits, she keeps saying how you won't answer and how she just wants to get a text or something, saying how you disappeared and how she really wants to see you.

Also, she gives me very much into working out and homegirl stopped working out a while ago because she had little to no motivation to do so. But when meeting you, she'll text you pics of her at the gym, her muscles, and saying how she has better muscles so she can cuddle you better.

I'd imagine that she'd be apart of The Sun ending and you both have a decent relationship with her, she expresses how she'd follow you anywhere and to let her know if things are wrong.

In the suicide ending, just as she's calling to find out what happened to you she gets a knock at the door and drops the phone, you can hear Misty and Viktor tell Claire of your death and it ends with her breaking down in tears before she pitches her phone at the wall.

WHY THE FUCK WERE UP SO LATE??? FUCKING UR SO LUCKY I CANT BEAT UR ASS OTHERWISE ITD BE KNUCKLE CITY

anyway, speaking about johnny boy i was thinking about him + nibbles and our like collective desicion that he is essiently a cat and it is really weirdly fitting that it just makes me like ???? so like cats themselves are a reoccuring motif within the game from the start, when u go to viks, when ur chatting up takemura and at the end with the rooftop that also doubles as like the millionith matrix reference. they follow v and they take up the role of the bakeneko, which i think in the game is defined by them appearing near death ? or just disaster. the obvious thing is that it is to do with v's inpending death and their whole sitation but like the general point is like the cat symbolises the death that follows v as the cat follows them. this puts johnny in an interesting sitation from his catlike nature to how he seems to like and get along with nibbles, he is linked with cats. he is also the parasite that is killing v. he is V's bakeneko. their signal of death. the events start because of his relic, jackie dies for him, and soon does most of the cast from act 1, and a large part of the death from then on is a direct result of them trying to solve the relic and johnny's whole presence is a signal for hey v ur fucking dying. he is death for them. the bakeneko.

makes me wonder if his catlike attributes were intentionally done cause that boy aint right or we just accidently walked on a really thematic fitting landmind

Spoilers within, again, also leave my sleeping schedule alone, I do not function. Additionally, I have a lot to say about Nibbles, omens, cats, and pets then how they all relate back to Johnny so congrats on opening a flood gate my friend!

 think the thematic thing with Johnny and cats and the bakeneko has to 1000000 percent be intentional, because he even sees a cat when Alt is kidnapped. And that goes back to Cyberpunk Red. Like that was used and utilized and then became such a large part of the story. 

Johnny is clearly meant to be a bakeneko; he’s actively next to the cat in that conversation, leaves when it does, see the same cat before Alt’s death, and is again the visual representation of what is happening to V. He is the symbol of their death, whether he wants to be or not. 

I think it’s also interesting to note, the Bakeneko, which is described as an omen of death and misfortune isn’t the only way we see cats used thematically within the game. Albeit, this way is more subtle and perhaps intentionally so. We also see the maneki-neko; the lucky cat statues are everywhere in game. In V’s apartment, Misty’s shop, Vik’s clinic. Everyyyyyywhereeeeee. 

So, we see two mythological cats from Japanese culture. One brings misfortune and one brings good luck. And Johnny exemplifies both. 

Johnny is a visual representation of all that is destroying V. His mere existence and presence a constant reminder that their death is around the corner. An ever present omen that V’s clock is ticking. He also often pops up to have a comment just before massive relic malfunctions and disasters. The end of every main game quest is punctuated with a relic malfunction and a lecture from Johnny. 

But without the chip and by extension Johnny, V would already be dead. If the chip hadn’t been the exact right place to be damaged and activated by the gunshot; it would have killed V right then and there. And while this wasn’t an active choice on Johnny’s part, he is the visual representation of the chip. Even then, he later does make an active choice to save V’s life. When V is hit with the worst malfunction yet; Johnny grabs them, “you aren’t dying yet, I got you” and he takes them to safety. He refuses to watch V seize and die in a puddle of their own sick in the middle of nowhere (for me it’s always at the sunset hotel, idk if this changes based on the order you do the events tho) So, he takes control, he eases their pain and takes them somewhere safe, somewhere that means something to him, and swears to die for them. 

Luck both good and bad. Fortune and misfortune. A sign of better days and an omen of death. A maneki-neko and a bakeneko. The time bomb in V’s head and the guy who saved their life. He is both. 

Now, stepping away from the mythological aspects. Lets talk about Nibbles the cat, Johnny, and pets within Cyberpunk 2077. Animals and by extension pets are considered a luxury in Night City. They’re taxed to fuck and back, generally only the wealthy can have them. Its also often brought up that real friends and family who stick by you are very difficult to come by. V becomes through Nibbles one of the rare people to have a pet. One of the other people who had a pet is, Barry their neighbor. 

Barry and his mission is one of the first you can unlock and see in the game. He’s V’s downstairs neighbor and his story is played out so fucking similarly to V’s. Barry lost his best friend, he’s quit his job because he can’t handle the weight of the NCPD’s corruption, and he’s thinking of taking his own life.  V has lost Jackie, its stated in game they get less work than usual because of Konpeki (cant be put on a crew), and very early on can say to Misty “be better off putting in my head”. 

But for Barry that friend ends up being a pet tortoise. And its clear what that tortoise represents; a constant companion, a safe place, and a comfort. Something Barry couldn’t find among his peers until later on when they learn just how much he’s been hurting. And this is treated as such a tragedy, that he only has a pet to turn to. 

And so V gets a cat, because they too are fucking hurting and having a little meowing bundle of skin running around their apartment helps. Something to come home to, something to make that apartment a little less empty, a little more alive. 

So, how does this particular aspect of Nibbles/cats/pets relate to Johnny, I hear you wondering (as well as wondering when Im going to shut up). Well, we know Johnny is linked symbolically with cats and thats the choice of pet for V. And we knows pets have been likened to support without judgement; a companion who you can tell everything too and they won’t abandon you. 

And while Johnny has heaps of judgment and is a dick. He is V’s only constant companion. I know a good junk of people don’t like him or his commentary; but imagine V’s life without Johnny in it through the game events. Imagine how lonely they’d be. 

Johnny is the only one who knows everything and is there with V from the start to the final moments in Mikoshi. 

Vik and Misty know, but they’re no edgerunners, they have no idea everything V is doing out there. Part of why as much as I do love Vik, his frustration with V hurts so much in the end because he talks like V hasn’t done anything to save themselves. Because, Vik doesn’t know what V’s been doing this whole time. 

Each part of the main quests in Act 2 are linked to an NPC; Judy, Panam, and Takemura. And not one of them know or are there throughout the entirety of V’s journey. Judy doesn’t get told the full details of what’s happening until later in and stops helping V one Evelyn is saved. Panam doesn’t learn the full details or anything really about the chip until much later. And her quests become her own personal journey once V finds Hellman. And then depending on V’s choices, Panam can come in to help at the end. Takemura knows V is dying and is there to help with the parade and then he’s gone; either dead or in hiding. He refers to anything that doesn’t involve him as V’s shady dealings and leaves it at that. He’s there to interrogate Hellman but he doesn’t know all V did to find him. None of them know everything, none of them have been there the whole time. And that’s not a condemnation of them, I do not expect them to drop everything to be glued to V’s side 24/7 but, I can’t fucking imagine how alone V feels. 

River has no involvement in any main quests and only finds out anything if V chooses to romance him. Kerry knows what Johnny told him and depending on the ending may even leave V. Again, wanna be clear, that isn’t a condemnation on his character. I understand why he does this and i understand his hurt and how it led him to that. 

But this is about how truly fucking alone V is in all of this. Not a single person there start to finish, not a single person knowing all that they have suffered, all that they have been through and are going through. 

Except Johnny. He tells V in the oil fields, closest to him by far, there 24/7, yet they don’t seem to hate him. And he’s that for V too; there the entire way, their demon never leaving.  Johnny knows everything happening; because he’s part of what’s happening. He’s been there through every struggle, every step, every slap in the face as V’s tried to save themselves. Has felt their pain as they lose themselves, has known the people who’ve had to die for them to get this far, as felt their heart break when all they found was betrayal by the Voodoo Boys, Ai Alt asking how V’s life is her problem, getting recommended a hospice by Hellman. 

And as dickish as he is, his comments help. V always has someone there, as much as he sucks. He always has something stupid or naggy to say to help keep some of that weight off their shoulders. Imagine if they didn’t even have that. If Johnny never talked to them, never showed his face. 

A constant companion, like a supportive pet cat except he can talk and did a lot of meth. 

And this is a sidenote that has nothing to do with cats specifically, but that through Samurai music this isn’t the first time Johnny could be compared to an omen. Its no secret that the music was largely created around the game and as such, many of his songs have direct parallels and messages related to the game. Never Fade Away while in universe written in regards to Alt’s death also has so much in common with his journey with V. This brings me to the song Black Dog.

“Black Dog inside my head, guiding me until the end.”

Black Dogs are figures in Irish Mythology  who much like bakeneko’s are talked about in game; are omens of death and misfortune. I just find it interesting I suppose, like Johnny is either a dirty alley cat or a big mangy dog, but either way he’s here cause someones about to die.

Okay this is well over a thousand words, Imma shut up now. This is probably a mess, but anyone here for coherency is in the wrong place.

Late Night City Drive

Fandom: Cyberpunk 2077 | Ship: Delamain/fem!V&Johnny (Warning: Slight body horror in the first two paragraphs you can skip)

The sounds of bullets piercing into concrete and breaking glass followed her as she slid down the slope. The rough material reamed her skin and clothes, but the impending danger behind her was worse than the pain. And then came the fall. The endless fall with air rushing past her as the ground came closer and closer at terrifying speeds. Every second she would collide with the ground and feel the excruciating pain of broken bones and cracked skin. But the moment never came, there was just the fear of it coming for her any second now and the endless time spent on imagining how her body would warp and crack once it came. As time had stretched on enough, she finally collided, but not in a way she had thought to. She had fallen onto a heap of garbage bags filled to the brim with stinking waste. The impact of her fall made her sag into the mass, the foul smell causing her to gag and fight, but the mass was overwhelming and struggling only made it worse.

Suddenly there were hands on her. She looked behind herself and startled as she found herself face to face with her friends. Her dead friends. Jackie looked at her from glassy eyes, mouth distorted with blood still dripping from his lips. His hands were cold, so cold. They were the icy unmoving hands of the dead trying to grip her and pull her with them like she deserved. Behind him there stood T-Bug, eyes charcoal holes in her skull and the back of her head missing. She gripped V too, pulling her forwards and throwing her into a mass of bodies, one reeking worse than the next and all of them holding onto her with their cold dead hands. V struggled against it with all her strength, but stayed afloat only for a few moments. It was enough time to look back at Jackie and T-Bug, both of them smiling at her. ‘You killed us, V. Now join us.’ And then she was pulled under.

She jolted up with a gasp, the feeling of suffocating in a million dead bodies overwhelming her as she forced air in and out. With shaking hands, she hugged her torso, trying to shake off the feeling of countless fingers on her. Her whole body was aching at the tension and she was sure to throw up when her vision glossed over, streaks of turquoise code distorting her surroundings and gifting her with stinging headache on top of the pain that already shook her. V pressed her eyes close and swallowed to keep the bile down, knowing she just had to sit this one out. The malfunction of the relic would soon subside, and she would be able to live in her own body again.

‘Urgh, Fuck.’ She rubbed at her face, fingers caught in the familiar rim of her chrome. ‘V.’ ‘Shut the fuck up!’, the mercenary shouted, lifting up her hand signalling the ghost, the virus, the fucking splinter that would kill her in the long run, to better follow her order this time. Not that she could do much should Johnny choose to appear again. But at least she still had control over her body and could force him to disappear. ‘Just shut up, you already did enough’, she added silent this time, stood up and grabbed her gun and some clothes to throw over. She didn’t bother washing or checking the time, she knew it was the middle of the night anyways and that there was no way she would be able to fall asleep any time soon. She knew exactly what she needed, and she needed it now.

The elevator ride down to street level couldn’t be fast enough for her, already calling her car and slipping past the masses of people still on the street despite the hour to hop in. She relaxed only as she slammed the door shut and sunk into the comfortable driver’s seat. ‘Where can I bring you today?’ V just sunk deeper, staring out of  the window up into the night sky barred by skyscrapers, roads and glaring neon lights. She closed her eyes almost like in pain and appreciated once again the AI had the patience of… well, of an immortal computer program. ‘Just get me…’ She sighed deeply. ‘Just get me anywhere, Del. Outside the city. Badlands.’ ‘Of course.’

She felt the hum of the engine get louder and the seat press into her back as the car drove off. She watched the city pass her by while Delamain changed the radio to more silent, softer tunes than she normally listened to. In nights like these it was easy to forget how brutal Night City could be. If you drove through her streets, no more than an anonymous passenger of uncountable others, it seemed near impossible that underneath that beauty, underneath that architectural artwork and the bright glamourous lights hid an ugly monster half-dead but still hanging on to every piece that kept it alive and clawing at everything that tried to take it out of its misery. Was she any different to this shithole she lived in? She had been dead already and now she was living on borrowed time. She was no better than the tumour infesting this city. ‘Your little mercenary friends aren’t the problem here.’ V furrowed her brows in anger. ‘Did I fucking ask you for your opinion?’ ‘Hey, no need to get bitchy. Just saying the corporations are killing this city, the criminal basis is just a by-product of an uncaring world.’ ‘Shut the fuck up!’, V shouted furiously. ‘I just want my peace for once! Isn’t it enough you will kill me in the end? Just show a bit of patience and wait until I’m dead!’

‘I didn’t say anything.’ V sighed and concentrated on the world passing by. They were on their way out already, the highway leading to the border. ‘I know, Del’, she sighed quietly. ‘Then who were you talking to?’ ‘No one. Sorry.’ For a moment it was silent except for the rumble of the wheels and the hum of the engine as they passed the stone front that looked almost like a barrier separating Night City from nomad territory. ‘May I ask what brings you out into the Badlands in the middle of the night?’ V rubbed her forehead and looked outside the side window. ‘I had a nightmare’, she whispered then. She noticed the digital particles from Johnny’s presence and already braced for another unnecessary, cocky comment. But instead he just sat there next to her.

‘Apparently dying isn’t something the brain can easily process’, she added, maybe out of spite to jab at the construct that was killing her. ‘I’m afraid I can’t deliver any personal experience to that’, Delamain commented. ‘But if desired I can get in contact with several therapeutic-‘ ‘No’, V interrupted. ‘No, that won’t be necessary. I don’t have time for that. Just… Just let me drive for a while.’ ‘As you wish. I will disable automatic driving.’

V sat up and took over wheel and pedals. She sighed, relaxing her shoulders and accelerating just a bit more. For a quiet while it was just her and the road. Then Delamain spoke up once again: ‘I’m sorry. I don’t mean to intrude, but how is this helping you?’ ‘It’s…’ V risked a look over to Johnny’s projection, who shrugged and looked out of the window. ‘Some old habits die hard’, she explained finally. ‘I’m a nomad after all. Whenever the family argued or I simply had enough, I would took my car for a ride. Some days there is no better friend to have than your car and the road beneath you. Makes you feel free. Makes you feel like you’re just one of many, coming from somewhere and driving somewhere else. No one cares where that might be, you are just out there on the road, your car a little part of home.’

‘That sounds fucking lonely if you ask me.’ ‘That sounds… interesting’, Delamain said and seemed to mean it. ‘I don’t know if I understand but I will keep it in mind.’ ‘Fucking people pleaser.’ V sighed and switched stations to Morro Rock. The shock of the nightmare had subsided and now she needed distraction, not calmness. ‘It’s better than drowning your problems in alcohol.’ ‘Always worked for me’, Johnny shrugged, but smiled faintly as the radio began playing the old Samurai songs. ‘Shut up’, V replied. ‘Maybe we can do that later.’

She turned from a dusty side road to a main highway that would eventually lead her back to Pacifica and decided to test out just what Delamain hid under that hood. Seeing the needle of the speedo climb higher and higher and feeling the satisfying pressure in her back, she turned up the volume and watched the completely empty street speed towards her. The streetlights flickered past one after the next while the engine roared and the car climbed up the small slope of a hill.

She enjoyed the ride as long as it lasted and slowed down once they reached streets with more traffic. Soon they would reach Pacifica and V felt exhaustion crawling up at her once again. ‘Should I take over again?’, Delamain asked and V nodded, letting go of the wheel. ‘Are you feeling better?’ ‘Yes, I do. Thank you, Del.’ ‘I didn’t do much, but I’ll take the praise, nonetheless. Should I drive you back to your apartment?’ ‘Yeah. Guess I’ll try to get some more sleep.’ She leaned back in her seat and yawned heartily. ‘Hopefully without nightmares, this time.’

‘You are not at fault for their death’, Johnny interrupted the peace and V felt far too tired to start another fight. ‘Yeah, maybe not’, she sighed. ‘But it doesn’t change the fact that they are dead and I’m alone.’ She had a hard time keeping her eyes open with the monotone sound of the engine and the gentle sway from the suspension. ‘Doesn’t matter anyway’, she mumbled, already half asleep. ‘Gonna be dead in a few months no matter what.’ She turned a bit to the side to lay more comfortably against the curve of the chair, drifting off to sleep already. It would keep her wondering later if she had just imagined the words Johnny spoke in a surprisingly concerned tone for the asshole.

‘Not if I can help it.’

[love-for-ever-more]

I wanna feel love: Part 8

The heavy downpour had stopped, it was only drizzling now but the continuous rumble of the thunders made it evident that this was only temporary. Freddie put on his coat and his square-heeled boots, blew a loving kiss to John who was still sleeping on the couch, took his umbrella and minced down the street as if his tight, black, leather pants were a perfectly fitted catsuit, made especially for him.

"Like a cat that actually enjoys being wet.." he chuckled.

John had kept him in his arms all night long and he had felt safe and protected, after a long time. 'Is it possible..? Could John like..me? Could he be gay? He wouldn't stay there, all night if he didn't feel anything for me..would he? Why would he stay if he doesn't feel anything for me?' he asked himself again. He didn't know what to think.. 'John was there..with me. All night long.'

He had to do something.. 'My God! Did I get a crush on him already?' he wondered as he entered the first shop.

He had decided to go shopping, on the spur of the moment when he finished his bath. Some new, fancy clothes.. perhaps he could try and stimulate a long glance or a compliment from John.

He tried on several pairs of pants, before buying two of them, which both were skin tight but at different textiles and colors. He smiled contently at his image when he put on a pair of pants in a warm burgundy shade, velvet one and decided to buy it, at once. His smile grew bigger when he thought of John's look seeing him wear them. The second pair was made of black latex. "Is it too provocative? too slutty, dear?" Freddie asked a woman who was staring at him, but he needn't really care for her answer. He saw how gorgeously they brought out the athletic shape of his body so, naturally, he bought them.

He peacocked in front of the full-length mirrors to give a full view of his body to all customers, wearing each one of them just like a peacock that funs out its magnificent feathers when more people are around and he even made a small bow to thank the people for watching his special performance.

He still had to find out if John liked him not just as a very good friend but liked him- liked him...and he prayed his instinct was correct.

'Why did he get aroused if he isn't into me? ...into men?' he kept asking himself. 'Do I have to show him that I'm gay? Of course, I have to... somehow...show him. Or better, I have to tell him.' 'I also have to learn more about his relationship with Veronica... how are they getting along with each other?' 'Besides, why didn't he go to her place last night and stayed with me?' '..and...' he paused to swallow 'Why did he tell all those beautiful, amazing and sooo poetic words to me... if he doesn't feel anything for me? You don't speak like that to a friend... I couldn't imagine Bri or Rog talk to me, the way John did..' 'I didn't even thank him...for them' he sighed.

When Freddie left the shop, it had started raining again. He, nonetheless, chose to walk to the small Asian restaurant instead of getting a taxi. He had, recently, found out that walking in the rain was actually quite relaxing and invigorating to him -though he wouldn't dare leave his umbrella behind and ruin his hair-.

'Maybe I should come out to him after I ask him about his relationship and.. or before I ask?' he thought. 'Oh! maybe I'll ask Rog or Bri to ask him about Veronica.. after I come out to them, first.' 'What happens if he doesn't like me back and all this was a misunderstanding?' 'Maybe I have to come out to him and then... maybe he'll come out, too.'

Freddie shook his head.. too confused to keep his thoughts in order...

"I'll come out to him.." he sighed "and.. if he's gay.. I'll tell him that I like him. The real question is 'does he like me?' " he mumbled, as he slowed down his pace. A flicker of desire flashed across his face when he whispered again, "I like him... oh my God! Two days ago I wouldn't imagine of coming out.. and accept the fact that I like guys and now...I like him! now look at me!" he grinned. "A new me!" he laughed loud enough for an old man to hear and turn his head to stare at him. But Freddie didn't care... he put his umbrella down and clapped his hands twice to congratulate himself.

"Have a great day, dear!" he wished, heartily, giving a wide grin to the old man. He, then, picked up his umbrella and continued his walk.

He entered the restaurant and ordered a glass of water with some lemon. It was a 12:40 pm.

'It's amazing what a few drops of what we're longing for, can do to us... right Freddie? It only takes a moment of realization and everything can change so drastically..' his heart asked him.

But it wasn't just that... Freddie could now perceive John's interest, during the years they know each other. John always asked for Freddie's opinion, he was always considerate towards him and he always cared for Freddie's well-being. They never argued with each other except this one time when they had their first gig with John on board. Freddie had insisted on him wearing a "ridiculous outfit" as he had said and he refused to wear it. But in the end, John complied with Freddie's taste and... that was it. He never argued with Freddie again for any reason and he always supported him, even when he was being unreasonable, according to Brian.

Plus, he could now understand better why John was nervous when Freddie complimented his playing or his appearance or why he blushes when they sit next to each other and Freddie happens to touch his hand or his leg... "How could I be so blatantly stupid?" he groaned and took a sip from his drink... "How didn't I notice all that before?" he sighed in disbelief.

Of course, he could also remember the fact that John had never introduced them a girl as his girlfriend. Freddie had thought that he was too shy to ask a girl out... 'he had numerous chances to date any girl but he preferred to spend his nights at home..' he thought. 'Until I decided to play fucking Cupid and introduce Veronica to him...' he sighed again.

"Stupid!" he cursed under his breath and looked at his watch. It was 01:35 pm and John hadn't come. He asked to pay his bill, eager to return home.

Freddie opened the door, as quietly as he could, not wanting to wake John up in case he was still sleeping. But, he was greeted by an empty couch and much more to his disappointment by an empty house. The fire was put out long ago and it was rather cold in there.

He went up straight to his room to put on the tightest of his new pants, the latex one, determined to keep flirting with John. He paired them with a red t-shirt with a deep v-neck, sprayed himself with his cologne and got down to the sitting room. He took a beer from the fridge and sat on the couch to wait for him.

He was bored to death, he never really liked it when he was alone. He loved having friends around, laughing, discussing or playing games. He missed Roger and Brian as he couldn't stand being in an empty room. He turned on the radio and called some friends he hadn't seen or spoken to for a while. Then, he tried twice to put on the fire in the fireplace before a tiny flame appears and make him feel quite proud of his achievement. He took another beer and he decided to take another shower.

"John!" he exclaimed and sprang from his seat as soon as he heard the door open. "I've been worried for you, dear! Where have you been all-" he froze in his place when he saw Veronica about to enter the sitting room followed by a very happy John.

"Freddie, you seriously have to stop being so overprotective of my boyfriend!" Veronica laughed.

"I-I'm sorry... I didn't know you would meet Veronica" he mumbled and ducked his head out of embarrassment. "Of course, how silly of me..." he ended, giving a shy side smile. He felt his heart sink, by seeing them together. 'They were together... they spent the day together' Freddie thought and suddenly he felt his mood change.

"How are you? John told me you had a fever yesterday." she said as she took off her coat and passed it to John.

"I'm good now... Thanks." Freddie answered "John was kind enough to stay with me and help me" he said, smiling faintly at John, who was standing behind her.

"He is an angel, isn't he?" she smiled widely and turned to look at John.

Freddie nodded slightly, watching Veronica as she took John's hand in hers. A pang of jealousy spread inside him when he saw her kissing him tenderly on his lips. 'Is it worth trying to test John? Would any good come out of it?'  he wondered and wrinkled his nose. His eyes flicked from Veronica to John and back again. They were holding hands now as she was saying something that Freddie couldn't hear.

"...we had lunch together and then Johnny insisted on taking me for a walk around the city because it would be romantic... you know, with the rain and all" she said turning to Freddie again.

Freddie suddenly realized he has held his gaze too long on them "Oh! You had lunch together..." he repeated absent mindedly, scratching his forehead as he lowered his head once more.

"Yes! John called me this morning and he wanted to make up for standing me up yesterday so, we met soon after." Veronica said with a huge grin on her face as she took a seat on the couch, pulling John from his hand to sit next to her.

Freddie stepped away from the couch. He stood beside the fireplace, grabbing a magazine from a nearby shelf. He started flipping through the pages without actually paying attention to their content or listening to Veronica.

He had to try and hide his disappointment... This wasn't what he had imagined. 'Was I wrong?' he wondered again. 'Was everything a misunderstanding?' his lips were pressed together in a firm line as his mind kept asking the same questions over and over again.

"Freddie?" John's voice made him blink.

"Yes..." he muttered.

"Where are you?" John asked and looked up to him. "are you alright?"

"I... I was thinking of ... something" Freddie said, throwing the mag on the floor. He lit up a cigarette and grabbed his beer from the coffee table. He emptied the bottle and rushed to the kitchen, returning with another one in his hand. "It took me half an hour to put on the fucking fire... and now I'm burning..." he said all of a sudden, tossing his hair. He felt the latex pants stuck on his body. He was sweating and he was jealous. 'Will anything go according to my fucking plan?' he thought and sighed. He glanced at John who was sitting there looking at him without saying anything. "Veronica, dear" he breathed in "what were you saying?

"Umm.. I was just saying that we didn't realise that the time passed so quickly... we...we had a very nice time.." Veronica said with eyes gleaming of satisfaction having John smiling at her.

"How nice..." Freddie mumbled with his cheeks sucked in as he started making some air with the magazine, on his face.

"Freddie, do you want me to open the window?" John asked, turning his head and staring at Freddie.

"Yeah.. thank you" Freddie looked at him and smiled shyly, happy to see that John's attention wasn't turned one hundred percent to Veronica. He needed to know that he wasn't invisible to John.

"So, how did you spend your day?" he asked and stood next to him.

"I went... for a walk too."

"Just for a walk?" John chuckled and raised his eyebrows.

Freddie licked his lips nervously "Yeah! I didn't meet anyone." he assured him and shook his head, anxious to see if John had believed him.

"Ok..." John laughed and turned to close the window. Freddie didn't understand if John believed him or not.

"Why don't you call Mary to join us? We can have dinner together and... since John asked me to spend the night here, you won't be alone, Freddie." Veronica asked.

Before either of them got to answer, she had gotten up and pulled John in for a passionate kiss. She pinned him against the window and planted her lips on his.

Freddie's eyes widened as he was caught off guard. He suddenly felt like he was gonna blew up. How was it possible to be so jealous of Veronica from one day to another? His feet froze on the ground and he felt his stomach turn into a knot. 'Oh God, I'm in love with John!' he realized and blinked his eyes. And John was with someone else. His breath stuck in his throat and his lips went dry. He fixed his stare on John who seemed to be taken by surprise, too, by Veronica's action.

And then John did something that left Freddie quite speechless. He slightly, turned his body so he could have Freddie right across him, opened his eyes and took a full view of him, from head to toes, while Veronica was clenching her lips on his.

He saw John pause his stare on his tight pants, for a moment and then let them wander on his perfectly-shaped body. Freddie parted his lips to breath. A naughty smirk appeared on his face as he tilted his head slightly up.

The look John gave him was enough to raise Freddie's hopes again. The longing look on John's eyes seemed so familiar to Freddie -he could remember all those times when John looked at him with such eyes- and yet it felt so new and fresh and stimulating at the same time...

"Did I provoke that ?"  Freddie's eyes beamed "it feels so good..." He took a step back and leaned his body on the side of the armchair, without drawing his eyes from John's.

"Hey...ok" he heard him babble against Veronica's mouth, trying to escape from her grasp. When he finally did so, he took a step to the side.

"Um yeah.. sorry Freddie" she said out of breath and turned to face him. "I guess...I got carried away"

"Hm? No no. It's...fine, dear." Freddie mumbled and cast a glance at John as his face flushed red. His eyes were gleaming. 'I can still test him' he thought. 'I can.'

John cleared his throat, "I was thinking of making pasta with Mexican sauce, Freddie, would you like to join us?"

"Sure..." he shrugged his shoulders, "I'm starving!"

"Have you eaten anything for lunch?"

"Um..." I only had a couple of beers or maybe more.." he said and started giggling. "I guess I forgot-"

"You should take more care of yourself, besides you didn't need to go out today..." John said but he didn't mean it as a rebuke.

"I-I had to" Freddie said quietly, as he looked down letting his hair cover the sly smirk that appeared on his face. He was enjoying John's attention. He had missed it, actually. Yesterday, he had tasted a piece of it and now he was craving for more.

"Aren't you a sweetheart?" Veronica interrupted again, pinching John's cheeks with his fingers. "You are so protective with him!" she laughed. "You should've listened to him, Freddie, he kept talking about you all day!" she said again and kissed his cheek. "Freddie this, Freddie that..."

"Vera!" John laughed shyly as he glanced at Freddie. The singer glanced back at the same time, pressing his lips together as he tried to hide his grin. "Anyway..." he said, "let's make dinner".

Freddie sat comfortably on the armchair, pleased with what he had heard from Veronica. John was talking about him when he was with her. Plus, he eyed him that way. "Nice to know"  he chuckled.

"John! I haven't cleaned the kitchen" he called.

John laughed. "Yes I can see that!" he called back, "You can do it now!"

"Oh well... ok" he sighed, looking at Veronica. "Would you care to help me, then? we'll finish earlier together... or it'll take me a year!" he said, and got up and strutting to the kitchen. He stood at the door and glanced back at Veronica, "why don't you watch some t.v. dear? we'll be over soon" and with that, he closed the door behind him.

He leaned his back on the fridge, looking around. He could still, test John. There was hope. John was standing near the sink holding out the apron for him.

"So," Freddie began tilting his head slightly to the right and looking at John through heavy leaded lashes. His heart was biting fast and he was feeling a bit dizzy due to the beers he had drunk "you had a nice day,  as I heard" he said and hiccuped, "and Veronica is staying here tonight."

"Um yeah, it was good" John mumbled and turned to the sink. He wore the apron without thinking about it and started to do the dishes.

Freddie smiled widely and walked slowly to John. He sat on the counter, crossing his legs and looking at John with a smirk on his face. 'he didn't answer the second part...' he thought. He imagined himself pin John against the counter and licked his lips sensually. "And... how are things between you two, dear?" he asked, flashing him a grin.

John turned his head to him. "We're good, we're fine" he said sternly and turned his head again.

Freddie suppressed a smile and decided to push a little further. "She looks infatuated with you, I can tell. But what about you? are you in love with her?" he asked, letting another hiccup.

"Freddie are you drunk?" John asked back and dried his hands with a towel. "How many beers have you had?"

Freddie giggled. "Not many" he said, throwing his head back as he let a deep sigh.

"Is everything ok?" John asked when he saw Freddie stare at the floor, looking a bit sullen himself, all of a sudden. He could sense that something was bothering him and he didn't like it.

Freddie dismissed his question with a wave of his hand and got up from his position. He stretched his body, pulling his t-shirt a little up to rub his stomach with his right hand. "I'm starving!" he said and opened his eyes to see John staring at his hand touching his body.

John averted his eyes from Freddie and took a step back, biting his lip.

"Perhaps you want to go back to your girlfriend until I clean the floor?" Freddie said with a side smirk.

"Um no it's fine."

"Then perhaps you want a beer?"

"Yeah, why not?"

He took two beers from the fridge and opened them sitting on the counter again.

John started swiping the floor.

"Quite a mess down here" he joked and heard Freddie giggle again.

"Imagine what would happen if I tried to make pasta..." he laughed. Oh! There's one over there."  Freddie pointed with his finger somewhere on the floor.

"Where?"

Freddie got up and walked to the opposite corner. He bent forward, pushing his chubby butt up with grace and picked up a forgotten kernel. "Here!" he smiled at John. You missed this one." He placed the kernel on John's hand with a naughty smile.

John looked him up from head to toes again, lustfully just like some minutes ago. "Why did you leave without waking me up?" he asked without knowing why.

"Why didn't you join me?" Freddie asked back as if he hadn't heard of John's question.

He moved a step closer and stopped right in front of John, tilting his head slightly back keeping his lips partly open. He felt John tense up but he didn't move from his position. 'Kiss me...' Freddie wished and let his hand brush on John's hand, for an instance.

They stayed there, in silence, feeling the tension between them as they stared at each other, breathing heavily. John's mind searched for an hint at what Freddie meant with his question but he couldn't understand and having Freddie so close to him, made his mind stop working. He had to swallow hard when he felt Freddie's hand touching his own and he was afraid that if he stayed there, some inches away from him, Freddie would sense his uneasiness. He also had to fight his growing erection. 'Sweet Lord' John mumbled under his breath. Yet John didn't move back.

He stayed there, breathing hard, until "Veronica is waiting for you..." Freddie said suddenly, with a sly look and took a small step back.

John blinked his eyes and scratched the back of his head nervously. "Yeah.. I'll be there a minute." he said "The dinner will be ready shortly."

Freddie walked slowly to the door.

"Where did you go this morning?" John asked and grabbed Freddie's hand to stop him.

"I...I had some shopping to do" Freddie looked back and smiled.

"Oh yeah? What for?" John asked again and Freddie's smile turned into a grin when John fixed his eyes at the lower part of his body.

'So...he did notice...' Freddie thought. "Well..." he licked his lips and left the room, leaving John staring.

what music would the rfa members listen to? rfa + saeran

zen

zen would totally jam out to some broadway soundtracks and scores

I could see him really enjoying the soundtracks for heathers: the musical, hairspray, and maybe even spring awakening? zen may try and listen to a variety of shows but these three are the ones he always comes back to

adele

drake

some panic! at the disco?

lady gaga

besides being totally into broadway cast recordings I could also see zen rocking out to some classic rock music? on his more edgy days zen will get his motorcycle out and go for a ride while blasting some classics.

steppenwolf

blue oyster cult

aerosmith

def leppard

guns n roses

ac/dc

his taste in music really depends on how he feels that day and what project he is currently working on!

jihyun/v

I could see v being someone that likes to listen to acoustic covers, folk rock, and possibly indie rock as well? he seems to be very calm and he would probably appreciate the rhythms of the genre and the themes of the music.

imagine a sleepy v heading home from one of his MANY trips with a pair of turquoise earbuds hanging loosely from his ears. the only sounds that could be heard was the peaceful hum coming from the lead singer and the strum of a guitar. for a moment everything v kept to himself drifted away and for once he could be at peace.

plays you are my sunshine by johnny cash every night before bed in hopes that when he wakes up everything that happened in the past would turn out to be a dream…and he didn’t really lose his sun……..

saeran

tell me that this boy isn’t going to listen to some edge lord music? I could see saeran listening to alternative music, grunge, and maybe a tiny bit of  alternative metal? I think he would be able to channel his inner anger and emotions through these music genres.

he would totally be that kid with a wall of band posters that cover it well enough to trick people into forgetting there was a wall under all of them. I think kat’s room from 10 things I hate about you is pretty accurate to the room I imagined. he would have a keep out sign and would just blast his linkin park cds for the entire mint eye headquarters to hear. saeran would low-key just be sitting on his bed head banging while lip synching to the song.

saeyoung/707

seven’s music taste is almost as all over the place as his personality (sorry bby). one day he’ll be jamming out to alternative music and the next trap music will be blasting from one of his many monitors. hell, he even listens to jazz & country if he’s in the mood for it.

I feel like seven would enjoy a similar style of music to both v and saeran but for the most part seven would try and keep upbeat music on to try & keep his seven act up as best as he can.

not gonna lie he probably listens to meme songs when he gets distracted from his work like “thomas the train engine - air horn remix” or “kazoo kid - trap remix”

he’ll honestly listen to anything if he can find a way to connect to it.

jaehee (my baehee)

let us be honest here..jaehee would totally listen to zen’s cast recordings whenever she actually gets the chance to do something for herself (yes,I am looking at you jumin). she would know every lyric by heart and could recite them at the drop of a hat.

besides memorizing zen’s songs I think she would listen to a variety of genres but would lean towards dream pop, indie styles, and some folk music! I think that these genres would help calm her down after work especially those days where she gets swamped with cat projects.

jumin

I feel as though jumin would not have a lot of time to listen to music with his job, but I think he would try and listen to a few genres. ultimately, he ends up just listening to classical music. it is always playing lightly in the office and when he attends business dinners they usually have said genre playing. it was just natural for him to enjoy it.

he isn’t really interested in most music but like I said he would give any song a fair chance of impressing him and he’d really listen to anything thats on! just nothing that would be a nuisance to his sweet elizabeth.

I could see jumin being interested by the piano guys and their ability to take modern music and put an instrumental spin on them! its the best of both worlds really!

yoosung

I imagine yoosung wouldn’t have much time to listen to music if it wasn’t playing the background of lolol. if this boy barely takes breaks to eat and sleep then why would he stop to listen to music of all things? I’m kidding. sort of.

before rika’s death I think yoosung would have really been into classical music! he would always have some sort of music playing lightly while he studied for any upcoming test!

after rika’s death not only did yoosung’s outward appearance change but his music taste also changed. he would probably stick to pop music and maybe the occasional cheesy love songs as well? especially during those times he goes on about wanting a girlfriend.

I could also see easing just jumping from genre to genre especially after seeing how he jumps from hobby to hobby and club to club!

ayy idk if this is nsfw but i hope this isn't troubling or anything. what would the skeles from ut, us and uf do if they saw their s/o in a very R E V E A L I N G outfit for a beach party or something? heheh ;OOO (tysm this blog is so cute haha)

⛱️ Sansy ⛱️

He is not usually flirty or something but you are crossing the line if you show yourself in that way. At first, he is so embarrassed and he tries to respect your personal space avoiding your body and your curves but it’s not that easy so he looks in another direction. Actually, he seems a maniac because his stare is so intensive and concentrate to the people that a woman gets worry because it seems Sans was watching her kids with his deep look that is not so comfortable. Yes, he is still a skeleton and people can get scared. He feels more embarrassed than before so he tries to look somewhere else until he sees you in all your glory while you are coming out from the water like a mermaid. In his mind, this scene goes in slow motion. Your skin so wet and bright under the summer sun and he feels warm, too. Different parts of him are so warm and he tries to ignore them.When you approach him while you are patting yourself with a towel, he tries to chill out because he needs to breath after this show. You know what his method to chill out is. Using some funny jokes: « A man was sunbathing in the buff at the beach. For the sake of civility, and to keep it from getting sunburned, he had a hat over his private parts. A woman walks past and says, snickering, “If you were a gentleman you’d lift your hat.” He raised an eyebrow and replied, “If you weren’t so ugly it would lift itself"». No, it was the wrong joke. He can do better than this, he is just too nervous. Give him another possibility! « A harp is a nude piano», ah, this was cute. Brief yet intense, you are laughing, well. « Little Johnny came home from school one day and went by his mom’s room. The door was open, so he looked in and saw his mom lying on the bed naked moaning and touching herself saying, “Ooh, I need a man! I need a man!”The next day, Little Johnny got home from school and saw his mom lying on the bed naked with a naked guy on top of her. So Little Johnny ran to his room, stripped down naked, and started to touch himself, while moaning, “Ooh, I need a bike! I need a bike!“». Oh, it’s cool too, you are so amused. Yeah-! It seems he is flirting with you using these jokes but he uses them to calm himself but you decide to hug him, kissing his cheek saying he is so funny so he is going to faint soon.

Oh, you are provoking him, it’s clear. And you are doing it very well because he feels so provoked and hot, too. His eyes are wandering around your body as if he is studying your figure because he has to prepare an important exam about you. Let him study you more closely. Do you want he get a good grade, aren’t you? It’s a good way to do some anatomical lessons. Then, he thinks you are also sadistic because you are still wearing something and it does not matter how small the outfit is. The next time, he will bring you to a nude beach so you have no excuse to hide yourself. Smarty!When the two of you are in the water (actually, he hates water and he cannot swim so he remains when he can touch the ground so he is not going to drown) he will do his best to bother you. He splashes you with the water and he pretends to be a shark but his fundamental aim is one: take your little outfit off. Such a moron-!Sans likes doing this kind of joke and he also throws you into the pool when you least expect it. Oh, funny days!We have the second round of the most hilarious jokes of the existence… Maybe you would like to end your own existence after you heard them…«What is the definition of Confidence? When your wife catches you in bed with another woman and you slap her on the ass and say, “You’re next Baby… !”», he is saying you this bullshit while he is message your back and you can see his hands are going down, down, down… He wants to distract you using the jokes! « Yeah. I’m an asshole, but will that stop me from getting in yours?» After this, you should go away but you are still here so you know what’s going to happen! «Wanna hear a joke that will make you laugh your ass off? Oh wait I see you already heard it.» Ahahaha… No! « Mom: If a boy touches your boobs say “don’t” and if he touches your butt say “stop”?

Oh, maybe you want to participate to a contest about little swimsuit? He can be your personal judge if you ask, and you already know how to buy his vote, it’s not that difficult.Since he is a first-class jerk, he will bother you in any way possible, touching your belly with his long fingers so you will laugh like crazy (if you are ticklish), or doing weird jokes about your presumed nudity just like these:«How do you know Adam was a Canadian? Who else could stand beside a naked woman and be tempted by a fruit?» and Papyrus is tempted by you as well. He is just ignoring his sin now but it exists. He can perceive it crawling on his back. He adores it!«Two parents take their son on a vacation to a nude beach. The father goes for a walk on the beach and the son goes and plays in the water. The son comes running up to his mom and says…"Mommy, I saw ladies with boobies a lot bigger than yours!” The mom says…“the bigger they are, the dumber they are.” So he goes back to play. Several minutes later he comes running back and says…“Mommy, I saw men with dingers a lot bigger than Daddy’s!” The mom says…“the bigger they are, the dumber they are.” So he goes back to play. Several minutes later he comes running back and says…“Mommy, I just saw Daddy talking to the dumbest lady I ever saw and the more and more he talked, the dumber and dumber he got! » next time, you will think twice before you decide to wear like this. Your libido is dying while you are hearing his wonderful joke, « A couple at an art gallery see a picture of a naked woman with only her privates covered with leaves.

They are the ultimate weapon of seduction!

⛱️ Lewd! Blueberry ⛱️

Oh, it’s his birthday and he does not know it? What a wonderful surprise but it seems there’s anything to unwrap since your swimsuit is so small and it leaves no room for imagination. He is not going to complain about it. You can dress as you want and he’s not a stupid bigoted and he truly appreciates the view of your pretty exposed skin, the way your ass moves and all that jazz. It’s too perfect.Then, Sans is very discrete so he compliments you saying how beautiful your outfit is even if he means that you cannot be hotter than this. Sans is a little devious in his words and attitudes and you have to understand his intentions since he says a thing but he means another.  He will use all his cuteness and cordiality to hug you and caress you in the less malicious way since his gestures are so sweet but he wants just to touch you and he is too cute to deny. You cannot say No to Sans, he knows.He will ask to you, with his pretty voice, seeing you with those puppy eyes, to apply on your delicate and soft skin the sunscreen. His hands travel towards mysterious places of your body. It’s a mistake if he is touching you here and there. How could you blame him?He is touching you very well, you are unable to control your moans and giggles, and he is so glad you seem so happy. Maybe it’s time to change the background and go somewhere else where you can enjoy more his attentions. He would suggest going in the locker room so he can finally tear that little outfit apart… With delicacy, obvious.
