I'm mad for the lack of kiss too!! Why???? Manila Denver kiss and not Helermo...???
oh good god, I hope you all forgive me for all the asks I have sitting in my inbox, but let me just reply to this one really quick and
YEEEEEEEEEES FUCK YAAAAAS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
like, wtf, piña? you could only do one queer kiss per season and decided that manila/denver made more sense than a freaking Helermo kiss? fuck off
I mean, I wasn't hoping for a super romantic kiss under the rain (though of course, I wouldn't have complained one bit), but what the fuck was that?
you see, I asked my roommate, who isn't into the fandom or fics at all, "do you think Palermo and Helsinki are together at the end, then?" and she said "yes, for me it's clear that they will be starting something" and okay, okay... but why not make them kiss????
Helsinki is there from the very beginning, the first gay character in the series and you go on and kill his cousin and his best friend, crush his leg, but don't allow him one single kiss??
what the hell is that????
I was only a bit disappointed when I finished the series, but over the last month, I became ANGRY(tm)
and I see people saying "ohhh Berlín and Palermo got everything, they clearly won" and I'm like WON WHAT????? when was it even a competition? Berlin is fucking dead, my dudes, we all already knew andrés and martín were freaking soulmates/loved one another deeply and so on. I mean, I'm glad for the fans getting more scenes with them and Palermo talking to the machine was probably the most emotional bit in the last part, but like, hear me out--
I never wanted for Helermo what Berlin/Palermo had/have. It's not the same. Their relationships are completely different. Different expectations and different outcomes.
I wanted for Helermo what the hets got. The passionate kiss after being kept apart, the beautiful marriage proposal, the certainty that they are entitled to be happy after all they went through, like all the things straight couples get in all their fucking storylines since the history of ever. I never wanted the bittersweet yet tragic "we could have it all" storyline for Helermo, the "our love is beautiful, but impossible" angle. I'm fucking sick of those.
anyway, as I said, I have more asks to reply and I will elaborate on some of those points further... someday, idk when, life is very chaotic at the moment
but well, y'all go read my new helermo fic in the meanwhile, I can promise there will be lots of kissing, at the very least

15x17: Unity
Alright guys! It’s time! 
I’m pumped, but also really nervous. However, I have cautious optimism that this is all gonna work out, so I’m just keeping my fingers crossed. 
Here we go! 
Honestly I’m kind of digging Amara. I don’t want her to die. Chuck, on the other hand, needs to die in a hole. 
I’m still pretty upset with Dean, and I’m still really torn up about how our little family is in pieces right now, but it’ll get better, right? It has to. I’m keeping up hope that it has to. 
“Now”
Wow. Pretty shot of the stars. 
Oh hi Amara. 
Rekija...rejik...I’m not even gonna try to pronounce that. 
OOH! Even PRETTER shot of the stars! I feel like that’s probably CGI though. 
Ope. Welp. There’s the northern lights from the promo. 
I get the sense that means Chuck’s coming, based on her reaction. 
Oh look at that. I was right. Great....
YES! HI CAS!! I was worried after he wasn’t in any of the promo photos. 
...boo. 
It’s okay. You’ll come up with something. Don’t give up. 
OOH. Silent treatment. XD 
HA! Yes, Dean, because you’re being a jerk. 
IS IT THOUGH?! IS IT DEAN?! 
Ha! Sam is so mocking about it. 
Shut up Dean. I’m still mad at you. 
Oh um, hey Amara. Just...let yourself on in I guess. 
BABY!! <3 <3 <3 
Awww....Jack. :( 
"Do you have four archangels?” The way she said that OMG. XD XD 
“We got one Jack.” YAAASS!! MY BABY!! (But also he better not die because I am very not okay with that. He’ll take him out some other way.) 
Awww...that was actually really sweet from Amara. <3 
HIS LITTLE SAD SMILE NOOOOOO!! :’( :’( :’( <3 <3 <3 
That Sam is very not okay with, just by that face alone. 
Awww...man I hope she doesn’t wind up dying. That would kind of suck. 
No he isn’t. He’s upset for you. 
My Mom: He’s not angry, he’s disappointed, and we all know that’s worse. (She’s not wrong though.) 
Poor baby... :’( :’( 
JUST DON’T DIE!! HE JUST WANTS YOU TO LIVE!! 
AWWWW!!! SAM!!! STILL BEING A GOOD DAD NO MATTER HOW AGAINST IT HE IS!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 
Jack my baby. :’( :’( :’( <3 <3 <3 
No, he wants to find another way. Because you won’t. Because you suck. 
Yeah I’m with Sam on this. 
Oh shoot...that’s right back to season 1. Point taken Sam. 
BOYS STOP FIGHTING! WE CAN’T BE DEALING WITH THIS RIGHT NOW! 
WHAT???!!! WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT???!!! Dean did NOT just say that!!!! DEAN DID NOT JUST SAY THAT WTF??!!! 
WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K??!! 
I CAN’T BELIEVE DEAN JUST SAID THAT WTF??!!! 
My mom and I just GASPED!! HOLY FRICK WHAT??!! 
THAT WAS SO NOT COOL!!  WTF??!!
OH MY GOD DEAN!!! WHAT THE F**K??!! 
WHAT THE ACTUAL??!!! 
Dean just lost ALL of my respect and love oh my god. 
Jesus f***ing christ. My heart just shattered. 
Dean Winchester, you have officially lost your title as my second favorite. Screw you jerk. 
(Side note added later: I’m in an SPN group on FB that made an event page where we all comment while we’re watching the episode, and we all pretty much simultaneously said something along the lines of “he said WHAT?” and “I can’t believe he just said that!”.)
Sam’s face just makes it worse oh my god. 
Dean, you should’ve had WAAY more regret on your face after saying that and you did not. F***ing screw you. 
DEAN SHUT UP!!! HE IS TOTALLY LIKE THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY WTF I’M SO MAD YOU RIGHT NOW!!! 
Oh my god Jack totally heard that. SCREW YOU DEAN!!!! 
I’M TEARING UP OH MY GOD!!! We are FIVE MINUTES IN!!! WTF SUPERNATURAL??!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??!! 
DEAN DON’T EVEN!! I don’t want you anywhere NEAR him right now. That was SO uncool and I am SOOO mad at you right now!!! 
Jack don’t listen to him. You ARE family. WE LOVE YOU!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 
Oh my god. 
I never thought I’d hate Dean as much as I did after 14x19. Clearly, I was wrong. 
COME ON SAM AND CAS!! YOU CAN DO IT!! COME UP WITH SOMETHING AND SHOVE IT IN DEAN’S FACE!! BECAUSE HE SUCKS!! 
Awww Cas. :’( <3 <3 
Ooh! Pretty shot of the trees! I like the nature cinematography in this. 
Ugh. Gross. Go away. (My reaction to seeing Chuck on the screen.) 
It’s commercial break and I’m still freaking out about what Dean just said ahhhh. WHAT THE FUDGE??!! WHHHHHYYY WOULD HE SAY THAT??!! IS HE KIDDING ME??!!! After EVERYTHING. Is he SERIOUS??!! 
I’m, like, shaking already wtf. Why would this show do that to me??
God it better not get any worse than this. (Spoiler Edit Added Later: I was wrong. I was so so wrong. Holy f**k.) 
Whoa. Umm...that title card came out of nowhere. Okay then. 
“Pretty rad.” XD Gosh darnat. I hate him, but he’s funny. It’s so annoying. 
Good. Go die then Chuck. 
Yes Amara. Tell. Him. Off. 
Yes. They did. So shove off. 
Weird...thing? 
HA! That’s hilarious. XD XD Even Chuck won’t write love stories about his own sister. 
Yeah actually, she does. 
OMG Chuck. XD 
Yeah pretty much. 
Ummm...really? 
Oh okay. Suuuure. 
Ha! (God I hate that he makes me laugh.) 
I mean...okay, I hate Chuck, but frankly, given the state of our actual world right now, I wouldn’t say no to that. Reset. Try again. Seems like a good plan to me. But for Sam and Dean’s world, no. I need that whole family alive, thanks. Well, maybe I don’t need Dean alive. (I’m mad at him right now, so please don’t take that to heart, but also I’m SOOO mad at him.) 
YAAAAS AMARA! I love it! 
“Humans are the worst.” I mean, can’t argue with that. (Seriously, can Chuck, like, actually do a hard reset to us? And maybe without the COVID this time?) 
We do. It’s true. 
However, I disagree about the boring thing. That, we are not. 
Ha! Fans! Clever, Amara. He does like stroking his own ego. 
“Oh my you.” XD XD 
...huh. Or not?? 
You mean LIKE BECKY?! 
MOUTH-BREATHERS! (Stranger Things anyone?) 
(God my heart is still racing from earlier it’s honestly hard to focus lol.) 
OH MY GOD!! CHUCK. IS. SUCH. A. CHILD! XD XD 
NOT ANYMORE CHUCK! (I say that, but do I believe it? Well, I believe it, but do I believe it’ll happen the way I want it to? That...not so much. :( )
His eye roll. XD 
Hey! That’s a good idea! Why don’t we just do that?! 
Oh Chuck come ooooon. That’s a good deal! 
Ugh. I hate him. Go away. I hope he does die. 
“Villains get all the best lines.” Well, he makes a good point there. (Ya know, especially since that was a good line.) 
Ha! “Parent trap.” 
OOOOH!!! YAAAAAS AMARA!!!! 
GOT EM!!!! 
“You b-word.” XD XD 
OOOOH!! GET HIM AMARA!!!! 
I LOVE IT!!! 
But also we need a new plan, so...hurry up Sam and Cas. 
Dean go away. I’m mad at you. 
Title card again...for some reason. Not really sure what they’re going for with that, but I don’t necessarily hate it. But...it does remind me of 12x12: Stuck in the Middle (With You) 
My Mom: You know exactly what he heard you jerk. Me: Totally. Shut up Dean.
YES HE DOES JACK!! Don’t let him treat you like that! 
BABY NOOOO!! YOU ARE!! STOOOOOP!!! :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( 
SCREW YOU DEAN!!! MY POOR BABY HAD ENOUGH ON HIS PLATE!!! UGH!!! I’M SO MAD AT YOU!!!! 
Hey! “Jim’s Gems”
“This is where it ends.” Ugh. Scary. 
ADAM!!! 
His classic “hello”, but this time with a question mark OMG I’m dead. He’s too cute for this world. (So ACT LIKE HE DESERVES YOUR LOVE, DEAN!!! BECAUSE HE DOES!!!)
That lady is being weird. XD 
“Primo.” XD 
It took me two seconds to love him. 
What is that lady DOING?! XD 
His aura...is like Skittles? XD XD Honestly, I totally believe that. XD <3 
Oh. Angel. Okay. That makes sense. 
OMG. XD XD XD 
Dean is SOOO confused.
Oh don’t act all PROTECTIVE. We all know you don’t care. *rolls eyes* (CAN YOU TELL I’M PISSED?! CAUSE I’M PISSED! I will NEVER, EVER get over what he said. That was SO NOT COOL, and TOTALLY crossed a line!! SCREW YOU DEAN!!!) 
The...the what now? 
Baby... :’( :’( :’( <3 <3 <3 
Awwww.... <3 <3 
Oof. Adam is PISSED at God. (Join the club. We all are.) 
Ummm...so...she’s a psychic angel? 
Ha! (Dangat Dean, don’t make me laugh. I’m mad at you.) 
...huh. 
For some reason, that makes me REALLY suspicious. 
What test? 
I hope he fails. Just so he doesn’t die. (Who would’ve thought I’d root AGAINST Jack on something, but I swear, it’s for his own good.) 
So..you’re saying...that this is all still part of Chuck’s story? Cause that’s what it sounds like. Just saying, Dean. MAYBE GO AGAINST THE COSMIC BEING’S PLAN FOR ONCE! UGH!!! I’M SO MAD AT HIM!! (In case I haven’t said that enough.) 
FAIL JACK! BE WRONG! PLEEEEAAAAASE! 
YEEEEESSS!! HE GOT IT WRONG! 
Oh shoot. No he didn’t. Dangat. 
Why is he so smart, and, more importantly, why is he so adorable about it?? 
Also ew. 
“Right on.” XD 
“I did it.” Baby I’m so proud of you but also no.
That “far out” and high five OH MY GOD!! SO FUNNY AND SO CUTE I LOVE HIM AND HER AND ADAM AND JUST AAAAGGGGHHH DON’T LET THIS END BADLY PLEASE!!! 
Ummmm.....
“Dudes. Chill.” PROMO LINE!! XD XD 
Me and My Mom, at the same time: Ew. 
Oh! Adam’s rib bone! That makes sense! It’s the essence of all creation! That could be used to create life! (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina taught me that lol.) 
But...why would he use it to create life? How does this help them? What, is he supposed to, like, suck on it? (...ew. Now I need that image out of my head.) 
Well, at least he’s not dead. 
The “dude” after every line lol. 
Ha! I was right. Thank you, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. 
Just...his entire manner of speech is hilarious! 
That’s great and all, but also, no. I refuse to let him die. I will find a way to jump into the TV and stop it myself if I have to. 
Ummm...yeah no. We’re not doing that. 
Yeah NO!! NOT DOING THAT!!! 
“Once it starts, you can’t stop it.” Well, that’s gonna come back to bite us, isn’t it? UGH!!! 
“You dig?” “I dig.” “He digs.” XD XD XD XD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 
My Mom: Ew. (For the fifteenth time lol.) 
JACK JUST CALLED IT HOME!!! DEAN HOW COULD YOU NOT CONSIDER HIM FAMILY??!! 
OOOH!! I SENSE AN APOLOGY! PLEASE BE AN APOLOGY!! 
That’s...NOW has nothing to do with it, Dean! He shouldn’t have heard that at all! 
Okay, okay, come on Dean. 
Okay, I get it. You’re empty. But that’s what you’re supposed to rely on your family for. 
Awww...Dean. :( (No. Stop. I don’t feel bad for you. Stop.) 
...okay that’s sad. But that doesn’t make what you said okay. 
Awwwww... :( :( :( 
Okay, so I’ll take that for what it is, but also, that isn’t an apology, and I’m still mad at you and probably will never forgive you for that, so...there’s that. 
But...I’ll take that. You said thank you. That’s something. 
The way Jack just says “you’re welcome” I’m gonna cry. :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( 
It’s the “it’s time” from the promo ahhhh. 
Jack NOOOO!! Don’t do it!! Once you start, you can’t stop!!! 
I’m not ready to lose Jack!! It better not happen!! :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( 
PLEEEAAASSSE!! I am BEGGING YOU!!! Dean, STOP HIM!!! PLEASE!!! 
Okay but to reiterate...what is he supposed to do with it? 
Oh. Just...that? Okay then. 
But also NOOOO!! NOW WHAT??!! 
Okay so I think I get it now. The title cards are to indicate different characters’ perspectives, but all at the same time. Cause we haven’t seen Sam and Cas make any progress yet, but they had to have made progress, right? And the Amara and Chuck stuff was probably happening at the same time as the Dean and Jack stuff. So the title cards make sense now. And then it’s all going to come together at the same time. I get it. 
HEY! That “throwing the book to the floor” scene was in the “Drowning” trailer. (Not that I saw that a million times or anything.) 
Also poor Sam. :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( 
Don’t give up! You’ll think of something! 
Yep. I was right about the title cards. 
Cass awww.... :’( <3 <3 <3 <3 
These two...I love their dynamic and friendship so much. It’s so underrated and we see so little of it, but it’s beautiful. <3 <3 
Because it IS wrong! 
Of course not. 
Awww...Cas is all protective. <3 <3 
THAT’S HIS IDEA FACE! 
HEEEEY!!! HEY!!! THERE’S AN IDEA!!!! 
GET IT!!! GO SAM AND CAS GO!!! 
“Just walk up to her.” You make that sound easy. Is it that easy? 
That’s it!! The skull matches!! 
YES!!! 
(Added Later: After I finished the episode, my friend sent me a tweet they saw that had a picture of Sam holding the key compared to THE scene in The French Mistake. The caption said: “if there’s a key”. Considering the emotional distraughtness that this episode left me in, that was a good release. XD <3)
Go Sam go! You read that Latin you smart boy you! 
Me, with my limited Latin knowledge: Something something open...something something light...something something...I’m sure it’ll work, right? 
HEEEEEY!! LOOK AT THAT!!! 
THAT WAS IN THE PROMO TOO!!!! 
Let’s GOOOOO BOYS!!! 
My Mom: Yes. Yes he should.  Me: Agreed. 
Ummm...SAM! Cas should go with you. 
Oh. Actually, that’s a good point. We need Cas there to stop that from happening. Good call. 
AWWW!!! I LOVE THESE TWO!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 
HEY! IT WORKED! (And right by W, which I’m sure was intentional.) 
Ummm...why is there just a dead body there? 
UMMM! HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO GET BACK??!! 
I TAKE THAT BACK! CAS SHOULD’VE COME WITH YOU! 
Is Billie...killing people? Why? 
Oh. Not Billie. 
But RACHEL MINER!!! AHHHH!!! 
I’m so happy that she’s still been in this season. Like, I love that she’s still able to be a part of it and that they’ve found ways to keep her involved while keeping her seated and comfortable and safe. Most of all, I’m so proud of her for still staying involved and putting herself out there despite her condition. I love her. <3 
Ope. Welp. That happened. 
FRICK!!! 
FRICK FRICK FRICK!!
CAS SHOULD’VE COME! 
Oof. 
When she WHAT?! 
Okay, I probably shouldn’t be that surprised, because Sam had his suspicions from the start, and his gut is almost always right, and I’ve been suspicious too, but still. 
Ha! 
Yep. Cas’ll do that. XD ;) 
UMMMM!! 
THAT’S BASICALLY WHAT CHUCK IS DOING!! IT’S LIKE A HARD RESET!!! 
DANGAT BILLIE!!!! 
...there goes our cosmic ally. 
Huh...God’s book...is just...sitting there? That’s interesting. 
HEY! STOP! 
YAAAAASS!! GO SAM!!! 
"She did what now?” XD XD 
YAAAAS SAM!!! 
We love a little classic Winchester manipulation. 
DO IT!!! 
YES SAM!!!! 
YAY SAM!!!! 
Oh. Apparently he can get back. 
YEP! I was right. Now it’s all coming to a head, at the same time. 
“We have to stop it.” <3 <3 <3 <3 
Oh god, I’m SOOO stressed right now. I thought that commercial break would help me settle, but nope. I’m shaky and my heart is racing and ahhhhhh. Please tell me this has a resolution. (It won’t I bet. I bet it ends on a cliffhanger, because the writers hate us. AGGGGHHHH!) 
“Amara, shut up.” Oh look, he’s progressed from child to teenager. 
UMMM
I don’t like that smile he just did. 
NOOOO BABY!!! :’( :’( :’( :’( 
Wait...wait....WAIT! 
Chuck can HEAR THEM??!! 
Chuck seems...not surprised?? 
Dean SHUT UP and LISTEN!! PLEASE!! 
THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT!!! 
Also WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT JACK??!! Adam said once it started, it couldn’t be stopped! I KNEW THAT WOULD COME BACK TO BITE US!!! SOMEBODY FIX THIS!!! 
OH MY GOD THERE’S SO MUCH TENSION RIGHT NOW! I AM NOT OKAY!!! 
DEAN NO! STOP! LISTEN! 
Chuck....CHUCK!!!
Was this...did he KNOW??!! 
Cas is MAD. 
CHUCK NO!!! 
NOOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO!!! NO!!!! 
You CANNOT tell me, that this ENTIRE TIME, Chuck KNEW!!! NO!!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!! 
THIS IS BAD!!! THIS IS SO SO SO SO VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD!!!! THIS IS VERY VERY BAD!!! 
SHUT UP AND LISTEN AND STOP FIGHTING AND WALK AWAY AND DO SOMETHING UNEXPECTED!!! YOU GUYS ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IF YOU DON’T STOP RIGHT THIS SECOND!!! 
OH MY GOD I’M GONNA CRY I’M SO SCARED!!! 
DEAN!!! 
DEAN SAMUEL WINCHESTER PUT THAT GUN DOWN RIGHT NOW!!!! 
DEAN!!!! 
NO!!! NO NO NO!!! THIS WAS ALL PART OF HIS PLAN!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! 
DEAN PUT THAT GUN DOWN!!! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS!!!! 
F**K YOU CHUCK!!!! F**K!! YOU!!!!
THAT LINE FROM CHUCK WAS IN THE PROMO NOOOOOO!!! 
DEAN STOP IT!!! PUT THAT GUN DOWN WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!! THAT IS SAM!!! THAT IS YOUR BROTHER SAMUEL WINCHESTER WHO YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR WHOLE LIFE PROTECTING!!! PUT!! THE GUN!!! DOWN!!! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!! 
DEAN!!!! 
I’M HYPERVENTILATING HOLY FRICK THIS IS NOT OKAY!!!! DEAN STOP IT!!! I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW STOP IT!!!! 
I CAN’T BREATHE!! I CAN BARELY TYPE!!! WTF IS THIS??!!! 
DEAN PUT THE GUN DOWN!!!! 
Cas just watching worriedly AHHHH NOOOOO!!! 
YES SAM!!! GET HIM!!! 
DA**IT DEAN STOP IT!!!! 
Nooooo no no no no no. NO NO NO NO NO!!! 
YES SAM!! GET HIM!!!! 
DEAN!!! STOP IT!!! YOU’RE LITERALLY DOING EXACTLY WHAT CHUCK WANTS!!! CUT IT OUT!!!! 
Oooh...Amara is hurt. :’( :’( :’( 
Cas isn’t gonna take him there. 
NO OH MY GOD NO! NOT EILEEN! NOT CHARLIE! NOT BOBBY! This entire show has been built on people not adhering to fate and breaking the mold and doing the impossible. Billie’s ending would ruin EVERYTHING. 
COME ON DEAN! LISTEN TO HIM!!! 
GOD THE TENSION HERE!!! 
Noooo Amara please!! Don’t give up on us! We need you!! 
YES SAM!!! 
DEAN LISTEN TO HIM!!! 
GOD STOP SWITCHING!!! I NEED RESOLUTION!!! (But also it’s important but also AHHHH!!!) 
I HATE YOU CHUCK!! 
God that’s a good speech from Chuck, but shut the fudge up. 
DEAN!!!! COME ON!!! 
HOLY FRICK!!! 
THERE IT IS!!! YES SAM!!!! 
THE TEARS ARE OFFICIALLY FALLING OMG!!! 
“What about me? Would you trade me?” THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!!! THIS IS WHAT THIS STORY IS!!! 
HE WOULDN’T!! HE CAN’T!!! HE WON’T!!! 
Amara noooo. Please. Don’t let him do this. 
Awww...I feel really bad for her though. :( :( 
No...that’s gonna be bad though....
UMMMMMM
Did he just...consume her? Like, into him?? Cause...wtf? 
OKAY!! THOSE EYES ARE TERRIFYING!!! THIS IS BAD!!! I DON’T LIKE IT!!! 
NOT IF IT MEANS LOSING SAM, DEAN!!! NOT IF IT MEANS LOSING YOUR FAMILY!!! 
IT ISN’T WORTH IT DEAN!!! THERE’S ANOTHER WAY!!! 
COME ON DEAN!!! I know you’re upset, but COME ON!!! 
OMG I CAN FEEL AN AMAZING SPEECH COMING AND THE TEARS ARE FALLING FASTER!!! 
“Protected me from Dad.” :’( :’( :’( <3 <3 <3 
“From everything.” 
YES SAM!!! YES!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 
I’M SOBBING OH MY GOD!!!!
DEAN PLEASE!!! :’( :’( <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 
“We always do.” <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 
YES!!!! 
THANK YOU DEAN!!! 
THANK YOU BOYS!!! 
Well FRICK. 
Now there’s this. 
But at least we’re together.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 
Oh frick. 
It’s about to end, isn’t it???
His “help me” oh my god noooo!!! :’( :’( :’( :’( 
Even Dean ran to him UGGGGGHHHH!!!! 
WHAT THE F***K!!! 
I CALLED IT AGAIN!!! 
BUT GOD DA**IT!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!!!! 
I HATE THIS SHOW!!! (I mean, I love this show, but SCREW YOU WRITERS!!!!)
WHAT THE FUDGE WAS THAT EPISODE??!!!
WHAT! THE ACTUAL! F**K!!!!!! 
UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
I HATED THAT!!! 
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT US LIKE THAT!!! 
I mean, I can, but also NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO
Okay, so. 
It’s been eight hours, and I still can’t breathe. XD 
I’m not sure about anyone else, but I fell on the floor and laid there in a fetal position sobbing and shaking with a heart rate of probably 150 for a good twenty minutes. 
Because WHAT. THE. F**K??!! 
That episode WRECKED me, holy sh**. I mean, I’d gotten somewhat used to the bombshells being dropped in the last five minutes, and I thought I was prepared for this episode, but I was NOT. Not even in the slightest. They hit me in the first five minutes and then they DIDN’T STOP. They just kept GOING and ADDING and making me cry and shake harder and harder and I am a MESS. 
Holy. Sh&&. 
I don’t even...I’m not even sure where to BEGIN with that???!!! 
Okay, I’m gonna try really hard to be logical and analytical here so I can actually look at the episode in depth for all of its beauties and flaws, but honestly, I am so caught up in it emotionally that I’m not sure how this is going to go. But we’ll see what happens. 
Let me start with this: 
I am so, so, so so so so SO pissed at Dean (in case you hadn’t realized), but also, what they did makes perfect sense for his character, especially knowing that Chuck had planned this all along. (More on that later.) I mean, Dean does this. When he’s desperate and scared, he lashes out, even at the ones he loves the most. So the fact that he feels extra empty and alone and lost after finding out everything about Chuck only creates more desperation and hurt in him, which only makes him hurt those around him more. Now, by no means does this excuse what he said about Jack, because (and I said this already), that 100% crossed a line, and in no way does this excuse the fact that he pulled a gun on Sam, because that was uncalled for for so many reasons. HOWEVER, it makes perfect sense, especially knowing Chuck was still pulling the strings. Creating that level of desperation in Dean to the point where even Sam almost couldn’t get through to him is EXACTLY what Chuck wanted, and he almost got it (thank god for Sam and his impassioned speech--more on that later too). So as mad as I am at him, and despite the fact that I’m not going to forgive him anytime soon (just for that line alone, because WTF DEAN??!!!), I also can’t fault him for it, and I definitely can’t fault the writers for doing what they did. Because as much as it hurt, it works. 
Okay, next big point of analysis: Chuck. 
Oh. My. Chuck. Holy frick. I’ll admit, at first, I was a little disappointed, because I thought that their “big plot twist” for the episode was that Billie had been lying and wanted to take over. While I didn’t know for sure that that’s what Billie’s true plan was, I’d always been as suspicious of her and her lack of details as Sam was, so I wasn’t all that surprised. However, I was shocked when I realized that Chuck DID know this entire time, and THAT was the ultimate plot twist that threw me for a loop. I’m gonna be honest, I totally fell for Chuck’s over-confident routine. I was convinced that he was gloating too much and it was going to be what killed him in the end. But to find out that, this entire time, he was still the puppeteer? WOW. And OUCH. But holy frick does it make sense. It explains so much about the trajectory of these last few episodes, ESPECIALLY the tension that was created between Sam and Dean. Their huge fight at the end of 15x16 was just a lead-up to what could’ve happened in this episode, and it ALMOST DID. Chuck was so close to getting exactly what he wanted, and as many horrors as this show has given us, and as many gasps and plot twists and loops that I’ve been thrown for, that was the one that had me petrified. Even though logically, I knew that there were three episodes left--that this couldn’t be how it ended--the very fact that we came so close at the exact moment of finding out that this was what he wanted was even more heart-attack inducing than the Season 10 finale. And man, that is an amazing thing. It hurts my heart, and I’m still shaking just talking about it, but WOW did the writers nail it. 
That said, the cherry on top of this crazy, intense, emotional, terror-inducing episode was that speech from Sam, and even just starting to type, I’m tearing up again. Because that speech took everything that Chuck is doing, everything that this season has been about, and mixed it BEAUTIFULLY with EVERYTHING that this show is about--Sam and Dean’s relationship. In all of that intensity...in all of that anxiety and fear...in that entire culmination steps away from the end...it took Sam reminding Dean who they are not to the world, but to each other that FINALLY brought him back. That finally brought him down enough to realize that this wasn’t the way to go. 
“What about me? Would you trade me?” 
No. He wouldn’t. Everything that has happened up to this point proves it. No matter what goes down, no matter who they’re up against, no matter what the world is throwing at them, in the end, Sam and Dean would never, ever trade anyone or anything for each other. It’s not who they are. Their entire lives they have been looking out for each other--Dean more than anything--and Sam reminded him of that. The fact that he said that Dean protected him from Dad broke my heart, but it was exactly what Dean needed. Because the thing is, it doesn’t matter if Chuck has been pulling the strings all their lives. It doesn’t matter if the people they’ve saved and the choices they’ve made may not have been entirely their own. Because in the end, Dean being there for Sam through thick and thin was always--ALWAYS--Dean’s choice. Not Chuck’s, not the world’s, not anyone else’s. 
And THAT is what this show is. That is what their LIVES are. And THAT is what will ultimately stop Chuck: their love for each other. 
Just like it did in Season 5. 
Just like it always has. 
And I think that that is so beautiful. 
And now I’m gonna need a minute, because there are tears streaming down my face and I can’t see my screen. 
Okay. I’m back. Let’s keep this going. 
The acting was on point. Alex portraying Jack’s adorableness mixed with his fear of what was to come, all while being courageous and still doing what he thought was right. Misha, portraying Cas’s mix of desperation and fear and concern and just so many emotions coming into what he knew was going to be hard and terrifying. Emily, with her portrayal of Amara’s hurt and betrayal over what Dean did to her and her eventual admittance that she belonged with Chuck. Rob, with his mix of hilarity and charisma while still being an absolutely terrifying all-powerful entity. 
And Jared and Jensen. Oh my god. Jared in all Sam’s desperation to keep his family together and alive while still showing how strong he is, even when desperate. Jensen, in all of Dean’s conflicted emotions, lost and confused and just wanting it all to end, no matter the costs. And then the two of them together, portraying that beautiful brotherly relationship, just like they always do, and showing the audience just how much family really does mean to these boys, and how much they mean to each other. It was all so amazing. 
The tension was insane. Even as they went back and forth between the various perspectives, there was this constant feeling of impending doom, because we all knew what was coming, and it felt scary. It made me anxious. Once I started shaking, I couldn’t stop, even during commercial breaks, and the shakes started right away. This episode hit the ground running and just kept sprinting the entire time. 
And then that ending. The tension didn’t let up all the way, because with a cliffhanger like that, how could it?? But at the same time, they restored sense of hope. Even if it was small, the fact that Dean stopped, and the fact that Chuck is giving up on making them do what he wants gives us a sense that they can do this. They can take him on and make this happen, because they’re too stubborn not to. 
And while I’m absolutely terrified for the fate of my poor baby, and while I’m hurting inside and broken by what Dean has said and how much is on the line and how high the odds are of everything being destroyed, I am so, so excited for next week’s episode, even if the mere thought tears me in two. 
And with all of that said and babbled and over-analyzed with WAY too much emotional involvement, let’s finalize this thing out. 
Despite how hurt and distraught and shattered I am, I thought this episode was amazing. It did all of the things right. From the acting, to the camerawork, to the storyline, it was PERFECT. It brought back the core of the show while still bringing in new ideas, themes, character relationships, and storylines, and it was BEAUTIFUL. 
As scared as I am for what’s coming, I can’t wait to see what happens next, and as much as it hurts to know how close we are, I am so eager to see how this all wraps up. 
My Rating: 15/10

Wheel Of Fortune
EXO Park Chanyeol x Reader + others Characters: EXO Summary:  Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Chanyeol was head over heels for you but he was 100% in denial that you liked Kyungsoo. Word Count: 1k+ Warnings: CRACK FOOL. RUN IF YOURE NOT HERE FOR THAT, jealousy, bottled emotions, fluff ending, etc.
A/N: this was TOO FLUFFY tbh. i wanted to hurt myself but it turned into fluff but oh well
Tumblr media
let’s start at the beginning
your parents were introduced by mutual friends and started talking on the phone
okay kidding that’s too far
right
so you worked at SM
and is the maknae of a seven member coed group that debut a year after BigBang and a year before SHINee
(so 2007)
which considering the fact you were younger than Sehun by a couple of months meant you debuted at 10
just roll with it cos ITZ MY VERY SPECIFIC PLOT DMMIT
wheLP
the members were all exactly one year apart and the members from eldest to youngest,, the sequence was a guy (@ 30 yrs old), a girl (29), a guy (28), a girl (27), a guy (26), a guy (25), then you (24).
I KNOW I DONT NEED THIS BUT THIS IS HOW I IMAGINED THIS PLOT IT DMMIT
ok
since you were basically a sunbae at SM even tho u were a smol child you wanted to show your support to your hoobaes
So a day before their debut as a whole group, you, along with the eldest member of your group, who was the leader, visited EXO in the dance studio and gave moral support
You were A BIG FAN and it showed
not that you were hiding it in the first place
your leader was HIGH KEY embarrassed by you, but low key thought it was kinda cute how excited you were for this song
so dUH EXO dances growl for you
anD YOU NEARLY SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST BECAUSE OF HOW PERFECT EVERYTHING WAS
Luhan’s voice
Baekhyun’s attitude
Sehun’s resting bitch face
eeeerrrrrthing
YOU WERE ON THE FLOOR SCREAMING 
literally
and Junmyeon thought you were adOrAbLE
“I think she malfunctioned,” your leader gave a face and pushed you on the shoulder to see if you were still breathing as you let out a silent scream
“CAN YOU GUYS DO IT ONE MORE TIME”
????? 
Jongin was too out of breath to fight you
but lol u know what
they did dance again for you
BECAUSE YALL HAD THE CUTEST LIL FACE AND YOU WERE LIKE 16 SO
after that your band and exo were pretty much in one group 
like hella tight 
you were bsicly conjoined twinss
You could be at an award show and your table would be abandoned because you decided to sit with exo or vice versa
HYPING EACH OTHER WAS NOT EVEN HYPE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE YOU GUYS WERE RABID OR SOMETHING WTF 
!!!!CALM!!!!!DOWN!!!!
like you + your group to them:
“thtAS MY CHILd!”
“DID YOU SEE YIXING AND HIS HIPS FUCK YOU BITCH!”
“HE WAS RUDE. THAT WAS RUDE. THAT’S NOT ALLOWED”
“GET OFF THE STAGE SLUT”
“WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP BITCH!”
“~~~that was sooooooo sOFYT”
“CHEN STFU! YOU NEED TO STOP USING THAT DAMN VOICE OF YOURS JONGDAE. THATS ILLEEEEEGAL!”
“myY HERT!”
“OPPA *cries in korean* PLESS!”
“WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY!!!!!?“
‘iN fRonT oF MY sALaD”
“PA$$ THE H01Y W4T3R”
“NO KAI. BAD KAI. STTOOOOPPPP.”
you @ baekyun
baekyun @ you
Tumblr media
thIS IS A CHANYEOL HEADCANON BUT I LOOK AT THIS FUCKIN MORON WHO I HATE SO MUCH SOMEONE SAVE HIM FROM HIS IDIOCY
them to you + your group:
“first of all fuck, second FUCK”
“wh-- whT WHAS THAT HIP MOVEMENT. U ARE 4 YRS OLD”
“HE did t h a t.”
“NOOOOOONNNNNNNNNAAAAA ch0k3 me”
“I CANT HEAR YOU OVER U BEING SUCH A HOE”
“i cant beLIEVE THIS STADIUM IS SO QUIET” *ears are actually bleeding*
“NOt TODaY S4T4N”
“I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS”
“how does this have 300M views????? ONLY 300M I--”
“GAAAAAHHHHH WHAT WAS THAT MOVE WHT WAS IT”
“my soul has been touched”
“this is TOOOOOOOO much ma lord”
“DID YOU JUST RIP YOUR SHIRT OFF?“
“TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!”
“ASDFRTYUJM ive been shot”
ya dig
it’s not verbal abuse if they can’t hear you cause of the bass and the fact your on stage performing
Tumblr media
but like
you guys did everything together
practiced
ate
shopped
toured
pranked
T O G E T H E R
like who else in SM mattered
SHINee who?
JK YOUWERE A SHAWOL THROUGH AND THROUGH
you reassure Minho everytime unless you wanted to die that day
YOu EVEN FANGIRLED OVER TAEMIN’s MOVE WITH MINSEOK
BUT YOU OBVI you had MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM TO BE AN EXO-L and an elf and a cassie and a so-won and DONT FOrget a vip and a---
you get the point
ANYWAY
as you were close with everyone you had a special bond with every individual
YALL STILL TEXT WITH YA BOY KRIS
yOU WENT ON A SHOW IN CHINA WITH LUHAN
TAO LEAVES PUKE COMMENTS ON YOUR INSTA POSTS
my ot12
and as much as you say you are equally close with everyone
errbody knows that be bull the size of russia
yall caNNOT dENy that you and chanyeol have the same crack powder on your philtrums
LIKE KYUNGSOO CANNOT LIVE WHEN YOU TWO ARE TOGETHER
LET HIM LIVEEEEEE
Tumblr media
this moment must never die
ya boy be mindin his own business then
BAM BITCH
you and chanyeol be makin D.O. cray af
rest assured he HAS thought of how he’d kill both of you
ANd that’s why chanyeol loves you
like he decided he liked you the moment you lost your breath laughing when he threw a rubber duck at Kyunggsoo’s head, making it squeak in the most demented way no one thought possible
but he knew he loved you when you helped him lighten up on one of his dark days
you had that kind of effect on people
i mean all you did was sit down with him, both of your backs leaned up against each other’s, head occasionally leaning against the other’s head or shoulder, and played some nothings on the guitar and ukulele
but that was more than enough
you were there with him
and that’s what mattered
But literally the moment he accepted his feelings for you
he began to notice something he felt 100000% dumb for not seeing before
the way you laugh when Kyungsoo says a lame-ass joke
the way you always hug him from behind
you did that with literally everyone you were close with sure, 
but Chanyeol noticed you did it with him more 
and he 3
there was also the way you were just always winding up next to Soo when he was around, like he had some sort of magnet on him
and how you just liked poking his cheeks, begging him to show his dimples
which were really faint like gurl--
chANYEOL HAD DIMPLES TOO
CHANYEOL HAS DIMPLES
why daheq did you like his close to nonexistent ones?????????
????????
okay you liked poking Lay’s dimples more
Tumblr media
look at my boy, who i love with burning passion ANDWILL DESTROY SM FOR BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE WITH HIS BAND SM SM SM!!!!! CHINA KOREA POLITICS FK ALL YALL
and suho
and chen
anD FINE--
yeah you did poke his too
literally anyone who remotely has dimples tbh
BT WHY KYUNGSOO
ads;ajsd;lasjdkas #jelly
so chanyeol decides to ask someone about it
so he obviously goes to his wisest hyung
but the day he  wants to talk to Suho, YOU WERE ON A DATE WITH HIM
like a date but not a date date he could tell
BUT A DATE NONETHELESS AND HE WAS KINDA JELLY
so he goes to Baekhyun for some fucking reason
and he’s like “omg u like her i couLDnt FUCKING TELL FROM ALL THE HEARTS IN TH AIR”
instant regret
but like Baek did give him some advice
like 5% was advice
the other 99% was him screaming to just be a man and tell her
so chanyeol is like, “STFU.... also she likes kyungsoo so fml”
and for a hot second Baekhyun has nothing to say
BAEKHYUN HAS NOTHING TO SAY
“idek dude. this is why i flirted with her openly”
Chanyeol punched him for saying that
but he decides he’s going to tell you after like 231109 years
cos Jongdae said you don’t like Kyungsoo and that he’s sure of it
Chanyeol asked how he was sure and he was just all like
“she had a crush on Sungmin hyung before and DID NOT act like that at all.”
That made Chanyeol a lot more hopeful
So he just went for it
and asked if you wanted to get lunch
and then after eating, you guys walked back
and he just sort of blurted it out
“Joahaeyo.”
you just looked at him and chuckled, “Thank you. I like you too, Yeolie.”
bitch are you for real rn
before Chanyeol could clarify, your walking slowed, “I’ve known for a while now.”
ok
wait
w h a t
“Minseok oppa told me.”
?????????? uhm HOW DID HE KNOW
Chanyeol’s hands were waterfalls atm, “Why did he tell you?”
Your face starts burning red and chanyeol cant help but think of it as a bad sign
“I told him I liked him...”
“... and he said he can’t reciprocate because he knows you like me, and that he can’t do that to his dongsaeng.”
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah 
cool story bro
you liked someone in EXO that was NOT him
cool cool cool
I GUESS CHEN WAS RIGHT 
THANKS
wait did that mean chanyeol was this obvious
wait did that mean chanyeol ruined your chances with his hyung
wait was this why you cried that one time
WaiT WAS THIS WHY YOU HUNG AROUND KYUNGSOO
BECAUSE WHENEVER MINSEOK WAS IN THE ROOM, YOU WOULD GET KINDA STIFF AT A POINT AND KYUNGSOO MAKE A JOKE TO MAKE YOU LAUGH
WASTHIS WHY YOU TWO HUNG OUT MORE
WHY HADN’T HE NOTICED
AND IF EVERYONE ELSE DID
WHY DIDNT THEY TELL HIM
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Chanyeol frowned and called out your name, proceeding to apologize
“Wae? why are you sorry? did you tell minseok to say that to me?“
he couldn’t feel mushy and weird at what you said
“YA dont tell me youre going to be weird around me too. It’s bad enough Minseok oppa distanced himself a bit.”
Chanyeol couldn’t help but be angry, sad, protective, and annoyed all at once at what you just admitted to him
“I’ll tell him to stop.”
You pouted, “you don’t have to tell anyone anything, chanyeol.”
“yes but you don’t deserve to feel awkward around anyone.”
“yes but that was minseok oppa’s choice.”
“yes but he was only doing that because he’s my hyung and he’s dumb.”
“yes but-- 
OU KNOW WHAT WHY DONT WE ALL JUST BE AWKWARD AROUND EACH OTHER”
and so you walked forward fast and tried to ignore chanyeol
Chanyeol, with his freakishly long legs caught up with you though
he caught your arm
“What tf are you doing?“
“Ew dont talk to me its awkward. im awkward. your awkward.”
Chanyeol laughed. “yaaaaa, why do i like you?
“THAT’S WHAT IM THINKING HO”

Eurovision 2018 my top 43
Tumblr media
Hello, and welcome to another episode of this ESC tops series, and ending with the retro season, I go back to May 8, 10 and 12, 2018, when the 63rd edition of the contest was held in Lisbon, Portugal, after Salvador Sobral’s victory in Kiev last year, making this the first time Portugal hosted the contest. 43 countries took part, and Russia returned after their little issue last year, so nobody withdrew or was disqualified that year. This year was historic because Russia, Azerbaijan and Romania lost their 100% qualification record and many countries achieved amazing results never seen before. The contest was won by Israel and Netta with the song Toy, making this their 4th victory overall and the first one after 20 years. And now, let’s review the songs and see you until June for another post of this kind!
1st Place: CYPRUS/Eleni Foureira-Fuego (Real Placing: 2nd-436 points) 
QUEEN ELENI FOUREIRA GAVE US SLAYAGE DURING HER PERFORMANCE, the song is everything I love in a pop song, the music is so good, I love it, also her voice was better than I expected it to be, and I was so surprised because all the performance was literal fire, and the dancing is so catchy and I learnt all the choreography, well, I’m clumsy but I try, and i think this song deserved to win because it’s amazing, this had all the winning elements, and maybe one day Cyprus will actually win this contest motivated by this awesome woman. 
2nd Place: BULGARIA/Equinox-Bones (Real Placing: 14th-166 points) 
Seriously this song finished outside the top 10? IT’S AN AMAZING ENTRY, it’s mysterious, dark, and I loved the performance so much, all of them are amazing singers and they deserved a better result, I was so hypnotized by this song when it came out and I thought this might do it for Bulgaria, but they flopped so hard. Still this is an amazing song and I always listen to this song. 
3rd Place: GERMANY/Michael Schulte-You let me walk alone (Real Placing: 4th-340 points)  
YAAAAAS FINALLY GERMANY IS IN THE TOP AGAIN, and what a beautiful song, his voice is amazing, the performance is very wonderful and it’s such a perfect entry, the lyrics are so sad yet amazing and they make me cry so much. The best German entry since 2013 IMO, and it had a perfect result, I’m so happy for them. 
4th Place: CZECH REPUBLIC/Mikolas Josef-Lie to me (Real Placing: 6th-281 points)
Finally, their first top 10 placing ever, and what a banger this entry is!!! He’s so hot, the music is amazing, maybe the lyrics are a bit cringy but I enjoy this entry so much, also the performance is perfect and despite his accident he did marvelously, this entry always stayed at my top 5 and it’s the best Czech entry ever. 
5th Place: BELGIUM/Sennek-A matter of time (Real Placing: 12th SF1-91 points) 
ONE OF THE BIGGEST ROBBERIES OF THE YEAR, I WAS SO ANGRY WHEN THIS STAYED AT THE SEMI AAAAAAAAAAAA. The music is so beautiful, the lyrics are nice and I fell in love with this beautiful woman, maybe the performance was a bit mediocre but it’s what this song needed, a simple one, and I must admit her vocals were a bit shaky but I’M IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG SO MUCH, IT’S PERFECT. 
6th Place: FRANCE/Madame Monsieur-Mercy (Real Placing: 13th-173 points) 
Poor France, they sent another amazing song and they were snubbed by the public, they sang amazingly well and the performance was beautiful, they managed to create a perfect atmosphere on the arena that night and I loved them so much, this is so French pop and I thought this was going to be top 5, merci France pour une chanson tres belle. One of my favorite entries ever. 
7th Place: ESTONIA/Elina Nechayeva-La forza (Real Placing: 8th-245 points) 
Estonia singing in Italian, how interesting, and this entry is pure grace and preciousness, she’s so stunning on stage, her voice is just like the voice from an angel and I’m crazy for her, I’ve seen many of her performances and they are all flawless, the staging here is beautiful, and loved the projections of the dress, simply a stunning entry and I think this deserved more on the night. 
8th Place: SWEDEN/Benjamin Ingrosso-Dance you off (Real Placing: 7th-274 points) 
The words “with 21 points... Sweden” are marked in my soul because I laughed so hard. This song has a perfect sound, it’s very retro and it reminds me of Justin Bieber somehow, his voice is nice, the performance was so slick and perfect and he’s so cute as well, and it’s one of my most listened entries last year, however I thought Felix Sandman or Jessica Anderson would’ve been amazing entries as well. Well done Benjamin!!! 
9th Place: AUSTRIA/Cesár Sampson-Nobody but you (Real Placing: 3rd-342 points) 
One of the biggest surprises of the year, and it was such a pleasant one, he’s so sexy and he has an amazing voice, also the music has that gospel feeling that makes it so enjoyable and pleasant, and I loved so much the performance. When I saw it topping the jury vote I was confused but happy, and I thought this was going to win, but then the televote came and it was a bit sad. This entry grows day by day with me. 
10th Place: ALBANIA/Eugent Bushpepa-Mall (Real Placing: 11th-184 points)
YEEEEEES ALBANIA IN THE FINAL, this man is so handsome and has a powerful and beautiful voice, the music is so amazing and I love his high notes so much, I was surprised by his result but I think this deserved so much more, one of the best Albanian songs in the contest. 
11th Place: LITHUANIA/Ieva Zasimauskaitė-When we’re old (Real Placing: 12th-181 points) 
Awwww another lovely ballad with a lovely meaning, her voice is so sweet and the performance was so intimate and I loved it so much, and the fact her husband appeared at the end was so romantic. IMO it’s one of the best Lithuanian entries ever. 
12th Place: FINLAND/Saara Aalto-Monsters (Real Placing: 25th-46 points)
Another one of my faves from that year, I was so happy when this song was selected, and when it qualified because it was a deserving result, but then she came second... to last and I couldn’t understand why, the performance maybe was too much but her vocals were on point. 
13th Place: UNITED KINGDOM/SuRie-Storm (Real Placing: 24th-48 points) 
SURIE YOU QUEEN, this song is so lovely, the music is very nice and her voice is so strong and powerful, the performance was perfect, and despite the incident with that men, she managed to do an amazing job and she finished with a loud roar from the public, and I was clapping so hard in my house. I love this song so much and it deserved more. 
14th Place: IRELAND/Ryan O'Shaughnessy-Together (Real Placing: 16th-136 points) 
Oh I’m so happy for him, he did amazingly well, this is a very lovely ballad with sad lyrics, his voice is amazing, the music is beautiful and the performance was an absolute delight to see, at first I thought this was a mediocre song but it slowly grew up on me, and I’m so happy because they got in the final after many many years. 
15th Place: MOLDOVA/DoReDos-My lucky day (Real Placing: 10th-209 points)
One of the most cheerful entries this year, the music reminds me of the songs of the late 00′s and I love the traditional sounds mixed with modern ones, also they are amazing singers and the performance is so catchy, funny and perfect, I can’t help but smile with this song.
16th Place: SPAIN/Amaia & Alfred-Tu canción (Real Placing: 23rd-61 points) 
Poor Spain, they performed in second place so everybody forgot about this song, they sang so lovely together and the performance was very simple, maybe too simple, I think some pyro would’ve been amazing at the ending, and this song will remain as one of my favorites from that year, it’s very romantic. 
17th Place: AZERBAIJAN/Aisel-X my heart (Real Placing: 11th SF1-94 points)
Also Azerbaijan failed to qualify for the first time, and I can say that this is a very guilty pleasure of mine, the song is very nice, the music is good and her voice was a bit shaky that night, but still the performance was so lovely and I was very sad that she didn’t get through to the final. 
18th Place: PORTUGAL/Cláudia Pascoal-O jardim (Real Placing: 26th-39 points/last) 
WHY THIS SONG CAME LAST?!? IT’S A VERY UNDERSERVED RESULT. Her voice is beautiful, the song is breathtaking and the performance was so intimate and beautiful, I was amazed by this the first time I heard it and the lyrics are so beautiful as well. I still don’t understand how this masterpiece finished last. 
19th Place: ITALY/Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro-Non mi avete fatto niente (Real Placing: 5th-308 points) 
This entry always makes me cry because the lyrics are so strong but true, and the music is also very special and they are amazing singers together, also the performance was simple but effective and wow, I’m so touched by this song, i feel so bad because of placing it so low. 
20th Place: ISRAEL/Netta-Toy (Real Placing: 1st-529 points) 
Finally I have to say this, there are parts I love about this and parts I hate, the chorus is good but the verses are a bit weird, the lyrics are so good and her voice is strong but in the live performance it was a bit bad, I don’t think this was a deserving winner but I love the message of it. 
21st Place: GREECE/Yianna Terzi-Oniro mou (Real Placing: 14th SF1-81 points) 
Another one of my faves that didn’t qualify, I love this song so much, the ethnic elements blend perfectly with modern sounds, and her voice was a bit shaky but it’s a very good one, the performance was such a disappointment and I expected dancers with her, I’m hypnotized by this song, and it’s one of my fave Greek entries of the decade. 
22nd Place: SWITZERLAND/ZiBBZ-Stones (Real Placing: 13th SF1-86 points)
Speaking of unfair results, this is added to my list of favorite non qualifiers, the music in this song makes me feel amazing, her voice is so amazing, she’s gorgeous and the performance was so good, so I can’t understand how this song didn’t make the final, I fell in love with this song since it won the NF. 
23rd Place: UKRAINE/Mélovin-Under the ladder (Real Placing: 17th-130 points) 
This entry is so good, I love the music so much because it’s beautiful, also his voice is so powerful and cool, and the performance is perfect, I loved the beginning, and when I saw this last in the jury vote I was confused, but thanks to the televote this rose up and it was a decent result, also he performed first which was cool. 
24th Place: DENMARK/Rasmussen-Higher ground (Real Placing: 9th-226 points) 
Another powerful song, his voice is amazing, and the performance is so vikingesque which is perfect, and I love the lyrics so much, and the music makes me feel so strong and wanting to do a change in the world, I was so happy when I saw him on the top 10. 
25th Place: SLOVENIA/Lea Sirk-Hvala, ne! (Real Placing: 22nd-64 points)
Another surprise for me, but this was a pleasant one, I was so happy because of this song going through the final, Lea’s voice is perfect, the music is so amazing and the performance was perfect, also that pause was cool. I think this is a very amazing song and I enjoyed it so much.  
26th Place: HUNGARY/AWS-Viszlát nyár (Real Placing: 21st-93 points) 
AWWWWW YESSSS PURE HARD ROCK, I love this entry so much! It makes me feel so amazing, his voice is an absolute delight to listen and I’m crazy about the music and the performance, this gives me a lot of energy. I think this song deserved so much more in the final, and I feel so bad because of putting this so low. 
27th Place: FYR MACEDONIA/Eye Cue-Lost and found (Real Placing: 18th SF1-24 points) 
Okay, I have mixed feelings after this performance, this song was top 5 material because it’s a very amazing song, and I love the different rhythms here, but the performance, her dress and her voice were so bad that I felt so bad because of putting this so low, and this had a lot of chance to get through the final. PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR STAGINGS FYROM (or North Macedonia) 
28th Place: THE NETHERLANDS/Waylon-Outlaw in ‘em (Real Placing: 18th-121 points) 
OH WAYLON YOU’RE SO HANDSOME, this song is so good and it’s amazing, I love the country rock vibes here and he has an amazing voice, the performance was a bit of a letdown but I still enjoyed it so much, certainly this is a very nice entry, and oh my God his eyes are beautiful. 
29th Place: POLAND/Gromee feat. Lukas Meijer-Light me up (Real Placing: 14th SF1-81 points) 
One of my favorite songs ruined by an awful vocal performance and a very flat performance, this was a breath of fresh air from recent Polish entries, the music is so modern and cool, i think with another singer this would’ve been so much better. 
30th Place: LATVIA/Laura Rizzotto-Funny girl (Real Placing: 12th SF2-106 points) 
Awwww another good song that failed to qualify, and I was sure about this one as well, because she had a flawless performance, and it’s a very good song, I love the music, the lyrics are so strong as well, but overall this entry was very good, and I think this deserved more. 
31st Place: MALTA/Christabelle-Taboo (Real Placing: 13th SF2-101 points) 
One of my growers that year, at first I hated this, and then I ended up liking it, that performance was stunning and her voice was on point, so I was so sure she was going to the final because she deserved it so much, and then it didn’t qualify, which was unexpected for me. I hope she’ll come back soon because she’s an amazing singer and she deserved more. ALSO WHY THIS CAME LAST IN THE TELEVOTE IN THE SEMI. 
32nd Place: NORWAY/Alexander Rybak-That’s how you write a song (Real Placing: 15th-144 points) 
A former king of Eurovision is back, but with a mediocre song, the music is so funky and it’s lovely, but I can’t stand the lyrics, his voice is so good but I can’t connect with this song, still I was so sad about his result in the final. 
33rd Place: CROATIA/Franka-Crazy (Real Placing: 17th SF1-63 points) 
Poor Franka as well, her voice is so stunning, she’s beautiful but I was so bored of the performance, I expected something as in the music video, but it was so flat. The music is so sexy and the lyrics are so nice, but there was something missing here. 
34th Place: RUSSIA/Julia Samoylova-I won’t break (Real Placing: 15th SF2-65 points) 
Russia is out of the finals for the first time ever... that’s so historic, and I saw this coming when the song was released, it was a very flat song, and Julia’s voice was so broken on the performance, which was a shame because it was so beautiful. Also they lowered the song and made it sad and uninspiring, I think she deserved a better song and I admire her so much. 
35th Place: MONTENEGRO/Vanja Radovanović-Inje (Real Placing: 16th SF2-40 points) 
A Balkan ballad, it was a long time since one of this songs, and sadly this is one of the most forgettable songs ever, the music is lovely but this is a bit flat, but his voice is perfect and beautiful, also what’s with that blue suit, it’s so funny to see. 
36th Place: ROMANIA/The Humans-Goodbye (Real Placing: 11th SF2-107 points) 
The first time Romania failed to qualify from the semi, and I can see why, this is a bit boring, and it fails to catch my attention until the last part comes, I must admit she has an outstanding voice and it’s a melancholic rock song, but this is a flat song.  
37th Place: ICELAND/Ari Oláfsson-Our choice (Real Placing: 19th SF1-15 points/last) 
Poor Ari, he has the voice of an angel, but this song is so boring and forgettable, the lyrics are so cliché but the performance was very nice, unfortunately this doesn’t go anywhere. 
38th Place: SAN MARINO/Jessika & Jenifer Brening-Who we are (Real Placing: 17th SF2-28 points) 
This had a promising start but then the chorus arrives and everything fades away, also Jessika’s voice wasn’t so good in the life performance and she was like scared, also the robots were a bit weird in the performance, but they were lovely. I don’t know why this won 1in360 but I’d wanted to see Sara de Blue here. 
39th Place: SERBIA/Sanja Ilić & Balkanika-Nova deca (Real Placing: 19th-113 points)  
IMO one of the most unexpected qualifiers in that year, this was my favorite song of the Beovizija but I thought this wasn’t going to qualify, so I was so surprised, this has a very nice melody and it’s pleasant to listen, but sadly this is all I have to say about this one. 
40th Place: GEORGIA/Ethno-Jazz Band Iriao-For you (Real Placing: 18th SF2-24 points/last) 
This entry is... interesting, I never expected to see this genre at ESC, they have nice harmonies and voices, and the music is cute, but there are some parts that I find so weird, and it’s a bit annoying because I was expecting more from them, and this came as an effortless so I was 
41st Place: AUSTRALIA/Jessica Mauboy-We got love (Real Placing: 20th-99 points) 
This entry is my definition of flat, the music is so basic and her voice was so shaky, and the performance was so boring and uninteresting, also the lyrics are a bit cheesy and I usually like those songs, but this was so boring for me, and I must admit I expected more of this song. 
42nd Place: BELARUS/Alekseev-Forever (Real Placing: 16th SF1-65 points)
I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I never liked this song at all, I find it a bit boring and flat, even if the revamp made it a bit better, his voice was so shaky and I was so disturbed by the performance, it creeped me out. I’d preferred to see Hmarki in the contest. 
43rd Place: ARMENIA/Sevak Khanagyan-Qami (Real Placing: 15th SF1-79 points)
Ummm I didn’t like this entry since it was selected, surely he has a nice voice and it’s so strong, but this is a boring and uninteresting entry, and I was sure this wasn’t going to qualify, despite being in Armenian which is a lovely language.

You know what they need to make the PJO/HOO books? Not a cartoon. No no no. An anime. Think about it. •A cute anime kid (Percy) grows up and stuff into this sexy anime boy lol. •Then percabeth.. oh I’m in love already.. •All these cool animated monsters and stuff. •And Aphrodite showing up as a different looking female every time she appears. •SalLY JACKSON AS THE HOT ANIME MOM! (WHO DOESN’T DIE THIS TIME!) {Like fairy tail, it’s long but there’s actually romance and stuffs.} •Piper as the rebellious teenager who’s so hot every guy drools over her. •Jason’s just lucky enough to have her haha. •Calypso with her stunning beauty and cute angry face. •Leo always having the blushing lines when he’s around her. Even if there’s only two on each cheek hehe. •Paul Blofis looking like Rick Riordan. Just yes. • Awesome fighting scenes. Like the sword scene where Percy wins in dueling in camp the first time Luke teaches him how to sword fight. •Reyna kicking butt and looking hot but also intimidating. • Nico as the smol emo son who grows into a man who smiles occasionally. Known for his talent with swords in the battle field. •Percy’s better at swords than Nico tho. •All the girls at camp swooning over Percy making him red. •Angry intimidating Annabeth who’s ready to murder anyone who touches her man. •Sad crying from Annabeth when Percy goes missing. Also Piper crying in Rachel’s cave when they first arrive to CHB. •RACHEL’S CURLY RED HAIR EVERYWHERE YES PLEASE. •Hazel’s golden eyes glinting and sparkling around the sunlight and fires. Pretty jewels popping up everywhere she goes. •Frank as the innocent cute bub. What we need more of in anime 😂 • Leo acting like Natsu Dragneel occasionally. (“I’m fired up now!”) •Getting to see Percy’s sea green eyes up close during intense scenes. •Piper’s eyes changing color every time the screen switches back to her. •THE FALLING INTO TARTARUS SCENE!! HAZEL CRYING HER GOLDEN EYES DIMMING NICO CRYING AS HE REACHES FOR PERCY AND ANNABETH. DRAMATIC FALLING AND INTENSE/SAD MUSIC AS THEY FALL INTO HELL BASICALLY. Then the season ends as they fall into the abyss and the ending song comes on. •The fandom would go crazy I assure you. •Luke literally shifting between himself and Kronos. The constant battle of trying to take control of his body again. •PERCY DIPPING INTO THE RIVER STYX AND SEEING ANNABETH YAAAAAS. •Zooming in on characters as the character who is narrating describes them. The scene shows what the character is describing. •PERCABETH REUNION!! •PERCABETH KISSING SCENES!!! •Festus the dragon awesomeness. •Percy not remembering anything except for Annabeth. And not wanting to take off his faded orange shirt. •GROVER IN A WEDDING DRESS!!! •Annabeth disappearing once she puts her cap on. •Watching Reyna literally lose strength and hope as she sends confidence and strength to her teammates. Since she receives their doubts and all. •ZOÉ NIGHTSHADE GETTING A CONSTELLATION IN THE SKY!!! •"The dam snack bar.“ •Thalia finally seeing Jason again and crying and hugging him. (I’m crying right now btw😂) •"WE DON’T HAVE ANYMORE GAS! …oh that came out wrong.- I MEAN-!“ •Percabeth getting thrown into the lake scene. As the camp Carries them to the lake they hold hands and look at each other with dreamy eyes. Blue and green “bubble” thing around them so that it looks like they’re the only people in the world. •BLACKJACK KICKING BUTT YAAAS MY FAV PEGASUS!! •This is one of those animes that doesn’t ever end.. like ever.
•But it takes forever for the new season to come out.

That tooth really should have come out by now.
The mental note to stop wiggling the loose molar was mostly irritating at this point. Every time he caught a reflection of himself in the act, it looked more and more like he was just sucking his thumb.
Which he wasn’t.
Because only babies do that.
Babies and possibly Shaggy Doo when he’s scared.
Did Shaggy have the last name Doo?
The barman had switched the grimy TV back to football before the episode had ended last night. The thought of just WHO the mothman had been kept him up the entire night.
That, and his loose tooth.
The taste of iron was pretty common by this point. It did hurt to keep wiggling the damn tooth but by God what else was there to do? No one walked by at this hour, save drunk couples and drunk singles.
A root snapped.
Ow.
The tooth was looser.
Nice.
He wondered what he’d do with the tooth. Probably just throw it away. The tooth fairy hadn’t come the last three times so it was safe to assume she wouldn’t come a fourth. Perhaps if he found a pillow she’d show up?
Sure would be nice if she did. He reached past the open sketchbook and checked his cup again. No change from the last check. Four quarters and a bottle cap.
Wiping the bloody saliva off his fingers, he counted just one last time to make sure he definitely didn’t have enough for a hot drink. It always did his head in converting the currency. How come England didn’t have quarter measurements in money? Something felt wrong about four coins making a dollar. It’s supposed to be five twenty pences for one pound. At least America had the fifty pe- fifty cent coin right. Just two of those.
“... Isn’t that a musician name?”
Oh it was definitely a slow day if he was thinking about celebrities. Closing up the book and shoving the coins and bottle cap into his pocket (the one WITHOUT the hole) he set about searching for something sheltered.
It really must be getting colder. His legs didn’t usually shake this much.
The town square had a huge clock against the main hall. Though the size did not make the letters swim any less than usual. Cameron usually made a point of just assigning landmarks the arrows pointed to to represent the numbers. It was quicker that way.
Right now, the little arrow was pointed at the crack in the ground that looked like a butt.
Dang, eight already? No wonder this place was a ghost town.
Why did he have to think of ghosts?
The street lamps were only just flickering on, but the light was low enough to make the shadows more… shadowy. Cameron quickened his pace the best he could in his boots. The blisters had finally turned into hard skin so they didn’t hurt NEARLY as much as they used to. That didn’t stop them from still being way too big and clunky.
After the last few turns had proven to have way too many shadows, he settled on one lined with windows leading to cozily lit buildings. No shadows tonight!
A quick checklist was cleared before he took a moment to breathe. No open doors leading to establishments, no one else sleeping here, no dead ends and no chains for dogs to be hooked to.
Safe.
Had he had his fingers in his mouth this entire time?
Now completely annoyed with how babyish he must’ve looked, he yanked his hand free. A little too forcefully. Another root broke and the sharp edge dug into his gums.
OW.
The tooth was even looser.
….
Who cares?
Suddenly incredibly tired, Cameron found himself slumped against the nearest wall and quickly sliding down it. It was only butt-crack-o-clock, why was he so tired? All he’d done all day was sit by the bank with his sketchbook and cup.
GOD DAMN IT HE FORGOT HIS CUP BY THE BANK
There would always be more cups but that was a really good one. It had just been used by someone at Starbucks for a water so no nasty coffee drips left to slowly mold and reek. Hardly any disintegration and it’d been just the right size to fit perfectly under the water fountain so it could fill to the top without touching anything. He’d seen people spit in that fountain. There was no way he WOULDN’T use a cup.
If the place was still empty he could just go grab it, but it seemed unimportant right now. The ground was quite mercifully dry and while frigid, this place was bound to have a newspaper fluttering about. The comics were never funny but they sure were insulating. 
Honestly he wasn’t very cold right now. Things just felt very heavy.
An angry banging and barking startled Cameron awake. All the window lights were off, but luckily there were no shadows. Just an airless, icy darkness.
It must be ugly-window-plant pot in the morning, what on earth was making that noise?
Just as he noticed he was spooning his sketchbook, a bright light blinded him, and there was the sound of scraping and stomping. Propping himself onto his elbow to knuckle his eyes, something hot and foul smelling was suddenly on his face. He removed his fists to see a very white set of fangs embedded in very red gums.
Shrieking, he kicked away from the demon, and successfully slammed his head into the brickwall behind him.
“MAGGIE, SHUT UP YOU STUPID THING, YOU’LL WAKE THE WHOLE TOWN!!” Now there was a harsh smokey scent alongside the foul breathed monster and the voice that threatened to wake the whole town. ‘Maggie’ continued to bark incessantly.
“What’s got you all worked u- Oh for fucks sake Michael I told you to stop sleeping here-” There was now a white light blaring onto him. Cameron was still rubbing the back of his head before the voice suddenly got rather quiet.
“Oh my god..”
That was not a good tone.
Looking up too fast, he squinted in the light of the phone torch and the doorway. He didn’t need to see the features to know this woman was not happy to see him.
Or rather, she wasn’t angry, but she’d just realised that he wasn’t the kind of vagrant you don’t feel guilt in yelling at.
He was the kind you call CPS on.
The aforementioned Maggie took the lack of yelling to mean she had done no wrong and was free to openly ‘dog’. Knocking the wind out of his with a happy pounce, she set about licking a good deal of the dirt off his face, bumping his cheek with her snout.
“Maggie, for the love of- get off!” The woman grabbed the dogs collar and yanked her off. Maggie whined sadly. If his jaw wasn’t currently burning he’d had felt sorry for the daft thing.
“Where- are you parents here? What the hell are you playing at, do you know how cold it is out here? Do you want me to call the police?
Oh God.
Ohhhhh no she was already at 11.
He really hated doing this, it felt so manipulative, but there was no way he was letting her call anyone.
He yanked his cap lower over his face and hair. Hopefully she hadn’t had a proper look at him yet.
“I-”
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE WHY DID HE OPEN HIS MOUTH.
OW OW OW IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OW
WHAT HAD MAGGIE DONE TO HIM WAS HIS JAW BROKEN
WAS HIS FACE BROKEN
HE NEEDED HIS FACE
The tooth slid to the back of his throat and with a sharp cough that rattled more than he expected, it came flying out and onto the ground.
Well then.
That didn’t play well in the string of ‘i must’ve got drunk ha ha boys will be boys’ lie he had planned.
At least his face had stopped hurting at last.
“Jesus- here take my hand, let me get you inside kid”
Nope.
He sprung to his feet and twisted to bolt.
Was it really that cold out?
Did legs just really hate cold weather?
He made about three steps before both knees buckled and he got a fresh coat of dirt on his forehead.
His head hurt.
Everything hurt.
It wasn’t supposed to be this hard.
A hand grabbed his wrist.
“You lot are all the same. Come on squirt, on your feet- Maggie behave or I swear to God I’m stewing you. There you go champ, see? You’re alright. Manage a few more steps? Ah- don’t worry, Ol’ Ella’s got you. We’ll get you patched up. S’okay, I won’t call anyone. I get it. But it’s gonna be hypothermic tonight, think you can be brave and come inside? You don’t gotta but we got a couch, and if Maggie decides she doesn’t want to go outside another eighty times it gets nice and warm in there. Sound good?” It did.
God it really did sound good.
This couldn’t be safe.
“The door isn’t locked.”
“You can leave if you want to.”
“Let’s call this selfish. I’ll feel like shit if I don’t at least attempt to play ‘aunt’ to another one of you kids.”
“Heck, I won’t even be mad if you rob us. All we have is my mother's denture cream and Maggie’s dog food so it’d mostly just be weird if you did.”
Even the doorway was warm. Just that fluorescent glow was cutting through the numb icy feel stuck in his bones. Every fiber was screaming at him to go inside. It was harder to kid yourself you were fine when relief was in front of you.
Last chance to make this feel alright.
He reached into his pocket, then remembered which one didn’t have the hole.
“I-I can pay?”
Ol’ Ella seemed well and truly shut up.
Had she still been talking?
Had he interrupted?
Was that rude?
Children should be seen, not heard.
Children like him shouldn’t been seen at all.
He knew his manners he knew how to respect adults he knew how to behave why couldn’t he just behave
“Alright”
An oversized hand took the four quarters and the bottle cap.
“That’ll get yaaaaa… Couch privileges, the shower after me and ma use it tomorrow, and a free cocoa before bed.”
He looked up.
Crap.
His face.
She laughed as he hid it again.
“Ohhh yeah, you kids are exactly the same. Come on, couch is this way. We don’t got cream but we got sugar cubes, that’ll sweeten it up juuuust fine.”

you have to threaten her with said knife to get her to sleep (literally just SLEEP) in the same bed as you. 
“mother of your children”, pffffft. 😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄 #overconfidenceKiHadh
ok explain me this, shivaay - if you see no future with her, then why the FUCK are you playing this “faraq” game with her? 😒😒😒 why are you so adamant to make her admit she has feelings for you? just marry tia/some other khaandaani girl and make babies with her pedigreed uterus and let my girl GO. let her be free from this bs you’re putting her through. honestly, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT? make up your fucking mind. 
ugh. this fucking asshole. i was loving you these past 2 weeks; right up till this fucking conversation, in fact; but now i’m just so fucking angry at you all over again. 😡😡😡
[rage aside, from a writing/plot point of view, i’m glad they brought up shivaay’s old khoon/khaandaan reservations. it wouldn’t do to have anika and him getting a happily-ever-after without bringing up this very vital part of his ideology and personality. i’m just... ok i have a few thoughts, but i’ll put them in a separate post once i manage to sort them out and put them in words.]
not bothering to watch the rest of the episode, since this scene was what i was watching for anyway. written update zindabaad!

FACT Singles Club features a panel of writers rating and slating the biggest new tracks of the last seven days.
Did Singles Club’s Cameron Cook summon Ciara out of marital and baby bliss after suggesting last week that Tinashe may have dethroned her as the current underrated queen of R&B pop innovation? Were the FACT editors unsurprised by the tie for the top spot on this week’s ballot came from two artists making very different music but refuse, in equal measure to compromise their personal vision? Is nu-jazz really the future? All that and more in this week’s Singles Club.
Ciara – ‘Level Up’
Cameron Cook: Last week we talked about Tinashe replacing Ciara as Top 40 R&B’s most underrated innovator. This week, Princess CiCi came flying out the gate to remind us that, nope, she and her abs of steel are still here and won’t be ignored. I have a hard time thinking of another pop star that is so consistently good yet consistently overlooked. ‘Level Up’ is as catchy, bombastic and clever as anything Ciara has released in her career. The only thing that would make it demonstratively better would be if she had used DJ Telly Tellz’s original “fuck it up” hook. But other than that, no complaints. (8)
Caroline Whitley: Ciara, the underrated R&B princess of the century, popped back into the music world with a Jersey Club-inspired bop that is bound to get stuck in my head. Yummy! (7)
Jesse Bernard: A lot of the magic that used to come with a Ciara hit earlier in her career seems to have eluded her most recent one. She’s worked with some heavy-hitting producers over the years but banking on viral success through a social media challenge. She could easily grab our attention with anthemic sultry cut like ‘Body Party’. (6)
Michelle Lhooq: Damn, really not mad at that Jersey Club-inspired beat, which kicks this song up from average radio fodder to excellent club banger. My headspace today was stuck in a cycle of silly insecurities until I heard this, the endorphins flooded in, and all I could think was: YAAAAAS! (7.5)
7
Sarah Davachi – ‘Evensong’
Jesse Bernard: Listening to this song feels as though I’m watching the tide drift in and out, while the moon’s reflection bounces off the water’s surface. The soundscape Davachi creates in just under ten minutes is one of mesmeric ambience. (8)
Michelle Lhooq: So many electronic producers are making ambient music these days to scattershot results, but Davachi  – who was never a trend-chaser to begin with – stands out with her meditative, mindful approach to tonal harmonics. Instead of drifting into meaningless nothingness, ‘Evensong’ grounds you into a trance-like, hypnotic state. Something tells me I need to hear this in a giant dome in the middle of Joshua Tree to grasp its true effect. (7.5)
Caroline Whitley: Bury me to this song. No seriously, Davachi created something hauntingly beautiful featuring even more analog sounds than her previous work. (8)
Cameron Cook: This sounds like the soundtrack to a movie where Saoirse Ronan plays a galactic fairy princess sent to Earth to swim around the ocean and transform all our plastic waste into gummy bears. This song didn’t really give me anything but that image. That alone was worth the listen. (6.5)
7.5
Amnesia Scanner – ‘AS A.W.O.L.’
Jesse Bernard: The drum pattern is the only thing that keeps me hooked to this track. It’s alluring enough to generate enough interest in the rest of the album, which I’m sure explores more of the abrasive electronic sound on ‘AS A.W.O.L.’ (5)
Michelle Lhooq: Amnesia Scanner is back, bitches! I couldn’t be more stoked that the Berlin duo is still packing the same disorienting punches as on their previous mind-blowing EPs, while the music video hints at an expanded visual world their upcoming debut album might herald. My friend Andrew Ryce put it best when he recently tweeted, “Amnesia Scanner is the greatest rock band of all time.” (8.5)
Caroline Whitley: I’m gonna come off super uncool for saying this, but I’m not getting anything out of this. Or as my friend said the other day “If I had no association [to PAN] I wouldn’t be listening to it.”(3)
Cameron Cook: First of all, this creepy-ass video is unnecessarily traumatic. I googled to see if Chris Cunningham directed it, which sent me down an Aphex Twin YouTube wormhole, and now I can’t sleep. As far as the song goes, I’m into it – that eerie xylophone really ties the melody in well. Even though we’ve been hearing a lot of down-pitched, distorted vocals in electronic music lately, it’s effectively unsettling and weird here. (7.5)
6
Chance the Rapper – ‘I Might Need Security’
Caroline Whitley: Only Chance could come through with an angry bop that still oozes sunshine and playfulness: the artwork is a deconstructed take on the Angry Arthur Fist meme, after all! (8)
Jesse Bernard: The collection of singles Chance released last Friday was very much a continuation of the exuberant energy displayed through Coloring Book. Personally, I think Acid Rap Chano was him at his lyrical best but this direction makes a lot of sense for someone who’s much happier with life now. (7)
Cameron Cook: Sampling a Jamie Foxx stand-up special from 2002 is one of the reasons Chance is one of the best artists around: he’s so good at constructing layers of pop culture analysis, social commentary, dope hooks and tight rhymes. This totally made me excited for more new Chance tracks in the near future. (8.5)
Michelle Lhooq: Per usual, Chance packs a lot into four minutes. There’s a bounty of politically-charged zingers to choose from here, but as a journalist, “I bought the Chicagoist just to run you racist bitches out of business” was the verse that got me screaming. The Jamie Foxx sample, on the other hand, loses its bite around the 100th repetition and just gets plain annoying. (6.5)
7.5
Brandon Coleman – ‘Giant Feelings’
Caroline Whitley: When I first put this on I thought it had a vaguely Thundercat/Flying Lotus/Kamasi Washington-esque nu-jazz element to it and, boom, turns out Brandon Coleman is Washington’s keyboardist. With its dramatic orchestration it could almost function as some sort of pacifist James Bond theme. (8)
Michelle Lhooq: There’s something sooo LA about this song and video, from the upbeat earnestness of its central message to the outdoor scenes seemingly filmed on hiking trail overlooking the city skyline. Look, I have nothing against open-hearted positivity in music. But there was a point – namely, when Coleman croons, “Sweet love it was designed for you and me / together we must live in harmony,” against giant swells of orchestra strings – where it all just felt like way too much cheese. (3)
Jesse Bernard: A perfectly apt name for this one. I enjoy the way the synths reverberate against Coleman’s distorted vocals and bandmate Kamasi Washington’s horns. Coleman’s debut release is one I’m looking forward to. (9)
Cameron Cook: Thank you for ending this week’s ballot with this slice of uplifting space funk, because I’m desperately in need of all the good vibes I can get right now, what with the Earth continuing to spin right off its axis on a daily basis. This track is heaven-sent. The angelic harmonies and squelchy keyboards sound like P-Funk if they spend a few weeks on a desert retreat, eating smoothie bowls and consuming the finest psychedelic mushrooms the West Coast has to offer. (7.5)
6.9
Final scores: Chance the Rapper – ‘I Might Need Security’ (7.5) Sarah Davachi – ‘Eversong’ (7.5) Ciara – ‘Level Up’ (7) Brandon Coleman – ‘Giant Feelings’ (6.9) Amnesia Scanner – ‘AS A.W.O.L’ (6)

Tame AU: Unpredictable
Unpredictable Alternate Universe- Tame Racing Drivers http://jashasedai.tumblr.com/post/151392469153/summary-au-tame-racing-drivers Part 1- MID Fandom- Top Gear In an AU where a secret species is used as Racing Drivers, Top Gear makes a lot of decisions in their struggle to make life better for all Racing Drivers. Saving the life of a Racing Driver named Midnight was one of the best. Tags: Top Gear, The Grand Tour, The Black Stig, Jeremy Clarkson, Andy Wilman, AU Tame Racing Drivers, Alternate Universe, Slavery
Unpredictable
Antarctica- 2016
Jeremy stood outside the production tent in Antarctica and watched the Grand Tour Broadcast go live.
He watched James and Richard and the two Stigs celebrate.
The two remaining Stigs.
"Forza Midnight," He said, in the way of people all over the car world, mourning for lost Racing Drivers.
The one thing he really regretted.
Dunsfold Aerodrome: The Top Gear Test Track- 2002
He'd paid the money and signed the contract without ever seeing what he was buying.  He'd never bought a Racing Driver before.  He didn't know what it entailed.  What it should have entailed.
Andy had gone to get him.  Andy, who Jeremy had known since childhood and trusted with his life, and more importantly, trusted with his career.  He had told Andy immediately about matching with Blue.  Tiff had made him swear up and down to secrecy, made him sign mountains of paperwork.  Old Top Gear had bought Racing Drivers to serve as doubles for all of it's full time hosts.
They all already knew about Racing Drivers.  It was need to know to be a motoring journalist.  You'd never be allowed on the pit lane at Race time without clearance, or special dispensation, or some situation where all the Racing Drivers were out of the way.
"His name is 80."  Andy stood cross armed over the crate.  "That's it.  The records are wiped, except his match's name.  He never existed, according to the FIA database.  They were going to euthanize him earlier than usual.  Too hard to control."
Jeremy rolled up his shirt sleeves and picked up the crowbar.  Geeze, they'd transported Blue in a ventilated, insulated, plastic carrier.  This was literally a wooden crate with a few holes drilled in.  It was nailed shut.
"You can't be here when he takes his helmet off,"  Jeremy said, starting to pry at the lid.
"I know.  You, be careful.  They say he's unpredictable."  Andy walked out of the room on the side of the hanger.
Jeremy pulled the lid the rest of the way off and shivered.
There was a Racing Driver lying in the crate.  Wearing black overalls that were pretty much grey with age.  His helmet was scratched, in a few places, quite deeply.  He had his arms crossed over his chest like he was giving a stern look.  He was breathing very shallowly.
Images came back, before he could stop them, of a Blue suited Racing Driver in a more comfortable, plastic crate.
He gulped.
As he watched, the Racing Driver's breathing deepened.
The slight tension told Jeremy he was fully awake behind the tinted visor, watching the human leaning over him.
Blue had always sat up, eager to get out of the crate and on to whatever adventure they would be experiencing that day.
That was the first difference between the Racing Driver he'd known so well and this one.
The black suited Racing Driver just let his helmet fall against the side of the crate with a sigh.
[Hello,] Jeremy said in the Racing Driver sign language.
The Racing Driver shifted a little.  That was all.
[Do you feel alright?  Was your trip safe?]  Jeremy asked, smiling.
[Yes.  Thank you.]  He barely moved his hands.  He sat up, then, though.  He was tall, and skinny.  That reminded Jeremy of Blue, again, back when they'd been young together.
[Come on, this way, then.  You can take your helmet off if you like.]  Jeremy stood up and gestured towards the door across from the one Andy had gone out via.
[Yes.  Thank you,]  He reached up and pulled his helmet up and off.  His face was thin and pale.  He had a few inches of thin, stringy hair that had been washed and then put back in the same helmet as it had gone unwashed in.  He had been shaven, poorly, it was obvious he was already suffering ingrown hairs from the botched job of it.  He had blue eyes that didn't dart around, taking in every little detail, like Blue's had, they looked down at the floor.
Jeremy walked over to the door and heard a desperate little whimper.
He turned around.  The Racing Driver was standing there, wide eyed, gaze locked on the door.  He swallowed and looked at Jeremy and back at the door.  [Stallion told me when you came to get me I should be brave.]  He closed his eyes for a moment and pressed his lips together.
When he opened his eyes again, they were full of tears.
He nodded to himself.  [I am brave like my Stallion wants,]  He straightened up, and looked Jeremy in the eyes, his hands moving in light, sweeping gestures. [But please don't make it hurt me?]
Feeling out of his depth, Jeremy gestured, [I'm not going to hurt you.]  He tried to keep his gestures calm.
The Racing Driver nodded and stepped forward to Jeremy's side.  [Thank you.]
He didn't move to open the door, just looked at the Racing Driver's determined expression and thought.  [What are you expecting?]  He asked eventually.
[Needles?]  The Racing Driver made a curious face at Jeremy.  [It will be needles?  Stallion said sometimes they use pills, but usually only if they put you down at a track if you crash.]
Jeremy swallowed, hard.  [No.  I'm not going to put you down.  We bought you so the companies wouldn't put you down.]
The response to this was precisely not what Jeremy would ever have anticipated.
The Racing Driver made an incredulous face, [What?  Ever?]
[No, not ever.]
He thought about this with a great deal of evident disbelief.  [Then where are we going?]
[To your new room.  Then we could talk about a match.]
[There isn't a match waiting for me,]  The Racing Driver told him, matter of factly.
[That's what we need to talk about.]  Jeremy told him.  From the calm acceptance of the lack of match, he had a feeling the Racing Driver wasn't going to just accept the news Jeremy had for him.  [After that, I want to show you where you'll be working.  It's nothing too impressive, but we brought you here to learn our track.]
The Racing Driver's head went back.  [A track?!  I'm here to learn a track?]
He shimmied and threw a fist into the air.  [Yaaaaa-eeeesssss!]
He reached out and pulled Jeremy into a big, back thumping hug.
Unpredictable.  Jeremy thought.  Definitely unpredictable.
British Coast, HMS Invincible- 2003
Perry McCarthy wasn't impressed with Midnight.
Jeremy watched the Black Racing Driver track the human's movements, only ever turning his helmet.  Perry was over talking to some female naval officer.  The three of them were on a shoot.  They were coming towards the end of the shooting schedule for the series.  That would be a relief.  There had been so much tension between the Racing Driver and his intended match.
[He's going to watch me, this time, isn't he?] Midnight asked Jeremy.  He wrung his hands.  The hope in his body language was innocent to the point of naivete.
[He should,] Was all he said.  Should meant ought to, it didn't mean likely to.
Perry came back over.  He ignored Midnight.  "Alright, that's it.  The last shoot is totally set up.  After this I'm out of here.  You can take that career killer and make it be Dawe's duckling.  Or whatever.  I don't care."  He turned to Midnight. [You go with Dawe.]  He sneered in the black visor, muttering,  "Maybe you can kill his career for awhile." Then he walked away.
Midnight looked up at Jeremy.  Shock was evident in every line of his body.  [He'll change his mind, right?  He will want to be friends with me.  I've been so good all season so he would love me.  I've done everything he told me to.  I learned the track as well as I can.  He's going to remember to love me, right?]  His hands were flinging out, barely making any sense as they went on.  Getting hysterical.
Jeremy watched the man walk away.  [I don't think he is.]  He regretted saying it the instant he moved his hands.
The hope visibly drained out of Midnight.  He sagged like a tire without air in it.
He got in the Jaguar.
Jeremy watched him grip the wheel and look down the aircraft carrier.
He watched him gun the engine.
He watched him pass the brake point without ever touching the pedal.
Perry didn't even know what had happened until the female naval officer pushed him out of the way and started ordering soldiers, organizing a rescue effort.  She ran past him to do her best to save the Racing Driver that had gone off the end of the aircraft carrier.  Perry looked at Jeremy, aghast.
Jeremy just watched the unbroken ocean horizon beyond the empty deck, frozen in place.
British Coast- 2003
The Top Gear crew was returned to the mainland by helicopter.  Perry, still stunned, had been herded away by one of the producers.  Jeremy got in his review car of the week and headed back to the hotel.  He had the radio off.  He drove in silence.  His mobile rang.  He answered it and listened.
"I'll let the BBC know that we won't need to put the Stig down, after all, shall I?  They'll be thrilled that we've saved them the FIA fee for revealing a Racing Driver's identity."  Andy said, casually.
"I can't believe Perry told.  As angry as he was that it was Midnight and not him that teams were expecting when they hired him, it seems out of character for him to pose as Midnight.  On purpose.  He wasn't even watching when..."  Jeremy's voice caught.  All he'd been able to think about since it happened was a Porsche crushed around a tree.
"Well, now that we have footage of the Stig dying, we are out from under that little problem."
"We'll need a replacement Stig."  Jeremy said.
"I've got a lead on a fast White.  We'll have to change some promo materials, but I think he'll be a good fit."
"Does his match drive?  I'd rather not have a repeat of this mess."
"His match drives.  He isn't going to be willing to match.  I actually had a suggestion about that, but I'll have to run it by you in person."
"Do I know the match?"
"His name is Ben Collins, F3 and LeMans."
Jeremy didn't know him off the top of his head.  He navigated a roundabout.
Andy waited for him.
"Did the divers fish our package out of the sea?"
"Yes.  He's on his way to South Africa, now."
"Will he be alright, Andy?  Did we do the right thing?"
Andy sighed.  "He laughed when I told him Perry cried over him 'dying.'  Then he said, "I told you when I came, there isn't a match waiting for me.""
His deep, gruff, spoken impression of Midnight's 'voice' was so different than Jeremy imagined Midnight's speech in his own head.  Then again, it had always been hard to stop comparing him to Blue.  Soft spoken, razor witted Blue.  Andy probably had a better grasp on Midnight, anyway.  After all, he was the one who spent the most time around him.
Antarctica- 2016
Jeremy went back into the production tent, out of the cold.  Andy smiled up at him from one of the tables.
"You've got a call from Australia."
A sharp, thin, blue eyed face was looking up from the monitor.  [Hello, Jeremy.  We watched the Broadcast.  It was very amazing!]  Midnight gestured.  There was lag and his image stopped a few times.
[How are the matches' families?  Are they all settling in?]  Jeremy asked.
[They are good.  It is very sunny, here.]  Another sharp, thin, blue eyed face nudged the other out of the way.  [Did self tell you we liked the video?]  The second Racing Driver looked identical to Midnight.
[Dark Sky, rude interrupting!] Midnight teased his twin.  [Of course I did.]
[Hello, Dark Sky.]  Jeremy gestured.
[Hello, Jeremy!]  Dark Sky gestured back.  He nuzzled against his brother.  They were the perfect matched set.  Matched to each other nearly a year before the handlers had brought Perry to Midnight.  The men had been so confused when the Racing Driver, safely already matched, had blinked, open faced at the human boy and no bond had formed.  When they tried again with Dark Sky, still no bond had formed.
So Midnight, Dark Sky and Perry had lost out on any career as a bond pair.  The Racing Drivers had been sent to separate holding facilities, lost to each other.
Until Jeremy, not sure what he was looking at, saw that their newly acquired Stig was not the only one listed as being a match to Perry McCarthy.
So they bought another Racing Driver.
Then they sent Midnight off an aircraft carrier under VERY controlled circumstances, wearing a rebreather, awaited by a team of navy divers.  They reported him dead, so FIA would never look for him, and sent him to safety in South Africa, where his twin brother was waiting for him.
They were two of the most precious members of the Top Gear, and then the Grand Tour Crews.  One of their most precious sources of information.  Precious lives.  Precious friends.
[Midnight found a human friend.]  Dark Sky gestured, suddenly.  [Her name is Gina.  She's funny.  She knows how to gesture.]
Jeremy and Andy looked at each other.  [Like a mate...friend?]  Jeremy asked.
[No, just a friend,] Midnight said, exasperated.
[Is she matched, how does she know how to gesture?]
[She says her father was matched.  His Racing Driver lives with her family, now.]
"Jeremy..."  Andy started.
"I know."  Jeremy put up a hand to stop the rest of Andy's remark.
[Her father's Racing Driver, is he named Shoe?]  He gestured the familiar name sign slowly, so there could be no confusion, even with lag.
[Yes.  He is.  How did you know?]  Midnight asked, delighted.
Jeremy and Andy made eye contact.  The Black Stig had made friends with Gina Schumacher.  [Some things are easy to predict.]

Too Young, That’s Why (Taekook)
“Old people say we are too young to understand love, we are too simple-minded. But I think so otherwise, love this simple, isn’t that what makes a first love unforgettable?”
Jungkook spends his summer with a boy wearing a square smile.
Summary: They meet as teenagers… Do things that naïve minds of each generation have creatively and rebelliously thought of. Laughing came easy and dreaming was free. But those days never last. Due to circumstances that were never in the control of those involve, the two separate, although feeling regretful, they didn’t think much about it. What’s another friend to lose? Their minds were soon occupied with other things.
They grow up in the busy and chaotic dawn of office meetings, late clients, and spilled coffee. All the while, feeling a longing for something long passed. They meet again as adults and rekindle the simple love that began long before they knew what love was.
Chapter 1: What’s Your Name?
Jungkook was never the one to go outside in the middle of a hot sunny afternoon. But his mom’s belief that kids should play among other kids outside, even in the midst of technology and video games, forced him otherwise. And it’s not like we have wifi connection where we are, Jungkook thinks to himself.
“It’s also a good chance to get to know other kids. You’re going to spend your whole summer here, so make some friends,” she said.
So there he is, trudging in the heat wave. What am I supposed to do? His shoulders slouches in defeat, I can’t even make friends back home, how am I supposed to…Sigh… He takes a look at the empty and silent unpaved road, lined with trees generously shading him. Well at least the view is nice. It’s his first time in the province. He knew his mom’s side lived in the countryside but he never really got the chance to visit since they were always busy with work.
It’s only Jungkook’s first day and he already like it better here than the city. Even with the heat, the breeze blowing through his skin was refreshing, it’s almost consoling. Jungkook decides to just enjoy the walk, he hums as he skips under shadows playfully avoiding the sun. It was nice being alone. He enjoyed himself too much he doesn’t know how much time passed by, he finds himself unknowingly off the main road. Jungkook passes by a house with a mailbox painted with a peculiar smiley face… A square smile?.. How cute, and like a contagious symptom, Jungkook couldn’t help but smile. On the side, written with black paint was “KIM”. It was the first house he has seen since, well since he went out. He continues walking in a narrower path leading into a much-forested area with a sign saying “Watch out for wild boars” and a cute pig faced doodled with… another square smile? How childish…and yet another smile crosses his face.
Jungkook turns to look where he came from, looks back to where he’s headed and with a determined and overly courageous face he nods and says, “An adventure waiting to be unfold~
Holding a branch, Jungkook has found in the dusty pathway, he continues to hum. He’s amazed by how much different kinds of trees there were. He would stop and take a closer look at smaller plants and bushes growing along the path. And just then he finds a field of golden daisies. Wow, mom would love this. He bends down and starts plucking one after another. It was quiet in the forest. He could only hear his own humming and the birds singing along. He can’t believe how magical it feels to be alone in the forest. He closes his eyes, It’s so peaceful–
“YAAAAAAA! YAAAAA! YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!!” Yells a voice that seems very far, and deep, coming from behind where Jungkook came from. Startled, he opens his eyes and turns around. To his surprise the unusually deep voice belongs to a boy standing quite far from him, to be more specific, angrily and fumingly standing a safe distance away from him which relieved Jungkook. That’s until the boy starts to run towards him, but Jungkook’s too shock to move. He has no idea what situation he found himself in, but he feels quite guilty like he had done something wrong. The angry boy finally reaches Jungkook who’s still too shock to get up. From where Jungkook was looking, the other boy is sweating and his face tomato red… Jungkook hope it’s from running and not from anger.
“Uhm..” Jungkook starts, “…” but Jungkook has no idea what to say next.
“HEOL!!” The unknown boy’s eyes widen as he exaggeratedly points his hands towards the daisiess Jungkook had collected. “How could you?” The boy whispers as his face crinkles, he closes his eyes and clenches his hand on his heart…. his very dramatic Jungkook noted. Jungkook finally stands up and he can see that the boy doesn’t seem that much older than him. The dramatic boy opens his eyes just enough to take a look at Jungkook, he stares at him for quite a while and finally says, “Nuguya?”, he furrows his eyebrows and takes a closer look at Jungkook’s face, “I haven’t seen you before.”
Jungkook, uncomfortable from the close distance of the boy’s face, takes a step back. “I was just passing by really, I don’t even know where I am. So..,” Jungkook takes a look behind the boy and on the pathway that will lead him back to his comfortable house, “if you could just let me pass.” He takes a step just to be blocked by the other.
“Ahem,” the annoying boy, Jungkook now noted, moves his face closer to his face once again, “Give me those back.” The boy holds out his hands to the flowers Jungkook was still holding. Jungkook feels offended after all the hard work he has done. He holds the flowers tighter and closer to him, “Why should I do that? I picked these myself.”
The annoying boy, too feels offended. He couldn’t believe what he just heard and is baffled he almost spat at Jungkook’s face. The boy inhales as he tries to regain his composure, “Jeogiyo…Can’t you read?,” the boy points at the sign a few meters from where they are both standing. It says, “Do not pick! These flowers belong to Kim Taehyung,” again doodled with a square smiley face Jungkook had been seeing all around. This one seems sinister though, as the eyebrows on the face where drawn towards each other as if smiling deviously.
“This part of the land belongs to my family,” the boy said proudly, a gesture which Jungkook think doesn’t really match with the plain shirt and shorts the boy was wearing. The boy continues, “Just because we let other people freely pass by doesn’t mean you can grab just whatever you want.”
“Come on,” the boy supposedly named Taehyung gestures with his hands, “give it back.” Jungkook feels defeated and he reluctantly hands it over to the tanned boy- Jungkook notice. Now that he’s calmed down, Jungkook can tell the older boy’s skin was just a bit tanned. It suits him, Jungkook can’t deny that, too bad he’s a jerk, another thing Jungkook can’t deny.
“Can I go now?” Jungkook could not wait to be far away from the jerk.
“Andwaeyo. You still haven’t answered my question. Nuguya?” Jungkook looks the boy in the eye, Why in the world should I tell you my name? after you took those flowers from me, Jungkook thinks to himself. Taehyung, wondering why the boy who is a few inches shorter than him wouldn’t say anything but stare him in the eye, mouths a “What?” To which the smaller boy simply ignores. Jungkook moves the other’s hand, which had been blocking his way, and starts to walk away.
“YA! I said what’s your name?!! Are you still mad?” The boy behind him wouldn’t stop yelling and Jungkook, for sure, wouldn’t stop walking away.
Still mad?, Jungkook remarks, What the hell? It just happened.
Even with the silent treatment, the older boy nonetheless continues to scream with his deep voice, “YAAA!! Aren’t you going to answer me?!! What’s your name?!!”
Just keep walking Jungkook… You can’t let this wierdo waste more of your time.
“YAAAA!!” The boy yells louder than before. Jungkook braces his ears for more screaming but it became unusually quiet that he could hear the birds singing again. Jungkook smiles, Finally, peace and quiet.
Little did he know… Taehyung closes his eyes, inhales deeply and yells from the top of his lungs, “DO YOU WANT TO BE MY CHINGU?!!!”
Pffft…Did I hear him right? Chingu?, the word echoes in his head, CHINGU? Jungkook eyes widen, he could not believe what he just heard. The more he repeats the word the angrier he gets. He turns around and yells back, “WHY THE HELL WOULD I BE YOUR CHINGU?!!”
From afar, he sees the older boy standing where he left him still holding the flowers. The older boy obviously looks happy, “You finally answered” he says as he smiles.
I swear to god I’m going to punch this jerk…The boy’s smile catches Jungkook’s attention.
Ah… Jungkook finally notices, the square smile…His anger subsides as if the wind had blown it away from him. And as if time slowed down in order for him to ingrain in his memory Taehyung’s smile. In the middle of the forest, the breeze shakes the trees and Jungkook swear it’s also shaking his heart which was beating so fast.
That smile, Jungkook can’t deny, it suits him.
