Hiya I’m here for the redacted matchups thing? If you’re still doing it that is (“^^)
A breakdown abt me is I have I’m an friendly introvert which has allowed me to deceive a lot of people into thinking I’m extroverted- I’m not I actually need very long hours of recharge after social outings. I’m an infp and I’ve been described to have “black/ginger cat energy” (tsundere and bites people according to some)
For the questions
- currently there’s been 2 songs stuck in my head. Into my arms by the Maine- there was this one specific part that’s goes she had the most amazing…smile. Bet you didn’t expect it she made me change my ways… and the lyric play was really cute. It was sung as if intending to say smthg sexual but he just went ‘smile’ instead and ties it in with how the listener prolly didn’t expect him to say that either implying that she “changed” him. It’s funnier considering later on he comments abt how she had “legs that went on for days” it gives a “I’m more well versed and mature now but at the end of the day im still a Man (/pos)” I found it really cute. Oh and Cupid is so dumb from Cupid by fifty fifty cause mood
- I love ytb essays! I watch movie critiques or essays on certain animes I watch and why they’re great/sht. Oh also shanspeares stuff
- i had a childhood friend called Casper. He was this “protector” kinda friend that would hang out with me talk to me.
- asmr. (no surprise) aside from sleep aids I actually dabble more into traditional tapping scratching or pampering soft spoken stuff when the insomnia hits.
- there is a character from Rick riordans magnus chase series, their name is Alex fierro. I had a very weird relationship with gender?? Aesthetics?? You could say? When I was young. I just had a lot of moment where I didn’t really like my long/short hair or jsut how I looked too fem/masc. Alex (other than being a total badass and child of mischief) was gender-fluid and I looked up to them a lot so ye.
- oh that’s hard I like a lot of them ;-;. I guess the highest I can possibly think of rn is inversion’s more than a promise and right here. I just love the deep conversations asher and David and Damien and Huxley had amidst all that chaos. And how they were there for each other. The voice acting was chef kiss and I was crying.
- …Sam. I used to i really did but now he and darling feel more like characters is ship than me being darlin being with him
- heroes of Olympus and book of life
- Huxley. He is so friend shaped.
- onigiri, ramen and a drink! (Could range from boba to juice to jsut coffee)
- a playlist that seems like it’s for long distance relationship but it’s really abt being in love with someone fictional and being really hurt they’re “far away”. And few other dedicated/inspired by characters I like. There’s one for denki kaminari I really enjoy and it’s just songs with the general “you’re way out of my league yet I still got you how tf-?” Vibe
I’m so sorry for talking so much.
Oh, this is easy. I’ve thought actively about the parallels between BNHA and Redacted characters, and Asher Talbot is the Denki Kaminari who’d love a black/ginger cat partner.
First things first, I like your music taste for him; you seem to like really fun music that brings you joy, and I think Asher would always vibe with it, you know? I can easily see him singing along with “Into My Arms” while y’all are riding along in the car and giving you this cheeky grin when that verse comes on. He feels charming, clever, and cute singing it even though he didn’t write it, but goddammit, he is really cute though.
Another fun thing is that I think you’d both like a lot of the same things! Asher definitely strikes me as having been a Percy Jackson/Magnus Chase kid, playing Camp Half-Blood campers with the other Shaw kids, deciding who would be in whose cabin. Asher’s one of the Redacted bois who I can see as an anime fan- BNHA, One Piece, Naruto definitely but not ashamed to watch a little shoujo, a little Horimiya perhaps.
Song:
Angels danced the day that you were born/ Oh I'm so sure/ They celebrated when you arrived/ You're so bright/ I swear you swallowed the Sun/ And I am so in awe/ Just basking in your light
One, this song is super cute and romantic and singable. It’s a sweet, little bop; I highly recommend it. Two, it’s a song about Tamaki Amajiki being in love with Mirio, an introvert in love with their comfort, sunshine, golden retriever extrovert. It works beautifully.
Runner-Ups:
You know who definitely watches anime and would love anime-related video essays? Guy, and he knows the obscure shit- anything but horror. Now, hear me out- the Casper thing would be a really cute basis for a relationship with Regulus if he weren’t insane, I’m just saying-
Note: Have you heard the song “When Someone’s In Love With Me” by Jacob Oman? It’s literally a love song that sounds like it’s pining over a ex, but it’s actually about fictional characters setting your standards too high, it’s really good. Also, you could never talk too much. Let your words be heard; they’re lovely ❣️
Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

With An S/O That Loves Kpop
Au: Modern
Pairing(s): Xiao x Reader, Childe x Reader (No gender specified)
A/n; Aha so hello— :’) I know it’s been a while, but I honestly had to take a bit of a break from Genshin due to it not being as fun as if was for me, but there may be new updates here sometimes. Anyways, enjoy my new fixation - Mod Xiao
He never understood your obsession with that genre of music, how you’d go out and “waste your hard-earned money and time on merchandise and albums from people who don’t even know you exist”, but that never stopped him from watch your spontaneous wills to get up do the choreography along to one of the songs
Now you wanted him to come with you to a concert? Yeah, no. He’s not going to sit stand in a crowd full of millions to watch people perform and— y/n, stop looking at him with those eyes- no means no- stop it- please-
When he sees disappointment flash in your eyes, he’s quick to clear his throat and push back his pride to ask when it was for, and the way your eyes light up when he asked was enough to make him want to fly you straight to South Korea and have you meet them personally
You end up giving him one of your sweatshirts with the group on it for him to blend in, it’s safe to say that you never got it back after that night
He won’t admit it but he actually enjoyed the concert, subconsciously doing a few of the hand movements to himself because of all the times he’s seen you do the choreo
His attention was fixated on you most of the time, the way you sang out to the lyrics you knew, beaming from ear to ear as you jumped up and down with the rest of the fans… You looked so adorable
On the drive home, you could hear him hum to some of the songs from last night, even putting a few on his personal playlist
“Xiao! They came out with a new comeback, wanna listen to it with me?” “Tch, I have no interest in them.”
He in fact did, and enjoyed himself more than he should have
When he heard that you were into Kpop, he bought you so much official merch that you didn’t even have anymore room in your closet for the rest
Hell, he even bought you both lightsticks
He’s heard a few songs before but it hasn’t really stuck to him, but when he started dating you, he’d find himself constantly listening to the songs from the groups you liked (he also listens to them whenever he misses you)
Your screaming made his soul leave his body, immediately running over to your aid… But you just explain that your favorite group was coming to town
You don’t even have to ask him to come, he���s already buying you both the best row, all perks included, and even scheduled you both for a fansigning because he just can’t get enough of how excited you look
You both look so adorable in your matching outfits, lightsticks in hand as you both scream once the idol walk on stage! Singing out to the lyrics and ‘attempting’ to do the dances
He doesn’t think that he’s ever seen you so excited, there were practically stars in your eyes, so of course he had to get some pictures in
At the end, he played a few of their songs in the car as you fell asleep from such a long night
He definitely learned Ping Pong with you and posted the cover on YouTube, he’ll never get over how happy he’s able to make you feel this way
“We should learn Red Lights next!” “Ajax, no-“
With hard work and much dedication, you both were able to only learn the chorus, and even that was scuffed
#genshin impact#genshin impact x reader#genshin imagines#mod xiao#childe x reader#childe#genshin impact childe#xiao#xiao x reader#genshin impact xiao#i saw an art post of Xiao as Hyunjin during maniac and it’s safe to say that I got my inspo from that

hi i love ur blog 🥺 may i request a jun fic whereby the reader made a personal playlist to remind them of him and jun finds out about it and how he would react? thank u in advance 🤍
this is so cute omgawd? Jun is so underrated, I am the new junP's safe place~! •́ ‿ ,•̀
♡ — musical feeling dilemma.
‣ tws/cws: none
‣ reader: gender neutral - they/them
‣ author's note: I'm proud of this one tbh, you can tell I worked on it hARD
you’ve been friends with Jun for a while now, hanging out with him was your peak ideal of an interesting time nowadays, after a long day of work. Playing video games together was a thing you enjoyed taking part in every free time/weekend, winning against him and seeing his priceless expression afterward, and the way he congrats you on beating him (for once) is an unforgettable memory you two can look back on. “ha! I'm surprised, you’ve gotten better since the first time we played together” though, you’d be fabricating if you said you didn’t miss him when he was either pulled away by Hiyori or had important businesses he had to attend alongside Eden all of a sudden.
It was 10 in the evening, you were already clocked out for the day by lucky chance: it felt like a miracle, a too good to be true one. And even despite your numerous insistence that you'll be fine walking back home by your lonesome, jun always assists you by calling a ride for you or simply walking with you to enjoy the last minutes together.
“I could've walked by myself you know, it's not like I'm an idol like you.” You reminded him, and your shoulders rising to the laughter that snuck into your throat.
“Hah, you made a point, doncha think?” he chuckled, shaking his head, “but, if people were to see you with me in public. Hiyori's probably gonna be a baby about it.” he began gritting his teeth already in the thought of it. “So I rather not even give him an opening for it, not to mention we have to go abroad again soon.”
Your eyes narrow, giving him your everyday million-dollar smile full of uncertainty, another trip? “Another important trip to attend? So suddenly? Guess that's an idol's life for you.” Releasing a burst of fake laughter to cleanse the silence shared between the two of you which Jun took part in “Yea' it's a hell-load stressful.” He chuckled softly, his reflections asking him if that was a topic to keep the conversation going with.
Then an idea came to mind, music: surely that could clear the atmosphere surrounding the two of you. “Hey, can I use your phone? to listen to some tunes, hah... Mine is out of juice.” his hands made their way to the back of his neck in embarrassment, his music taste was really ... Good, but isn't that what to anticipate from somebody so cool like himself? “I have AirPods, we can share them.” You nod and "Okay", handing over your phone and getting one of his AirPods in return. Sure, It would be fine! He wouldn't notice your playlist that was directly filled with songs that matched how you glimpsed him, it didn't have his name as the title or even had him as the cover of the playlist. It was just a single heart. And to your dismay, he ended up selecting everyone out of all the playlists you'd organized. “aha! We have extremely similar taste in music, I see you know your stuff.”
Confused about his statement, you turn to look at him anyway, with the million-dollar smile you pull with him all the time while listening to the song play, the music vibrating in your ear; clearly, that's when it hits you properly. it's his playlist, the state of panic was quick to creep on you, what if he found it weird? It only takes one button to look at the description of the playlist that had his name written on it. He was staring quite hard at your phone screen, so it added up to the suspicion he had noticed it... and he did, you'd be lying if you weren't embarrassed to the bitter core when he asked; “Hey? What's up with this playlist, it has my name on it, is it dedicated to me or something? Were you planning on me to listen to it?” he grinned.
“No, I was just— I thought making a playlist that reminded me of you was something all friends did... to be sympathetic” What an absurd answer to come up with but by luck, which must've been in your favor because your house was right up the street and there wasn't much need to say a word anymore besides the sound of silence and crickets “T—This is my stop, Jun!” you say, reluctantly pointing to the building next to your left still flustered, yet he still seemed unphased.
“Oh— alright. I'll see you soon— I guess? I'll call you while I'm aboard so maybe sooner than you'd expect~♪” he lets out a laugh, and honestly, there wouldn't be anything more to him than you offering him to stay for the night before he leaves, and not just to make a tease of you for what he saw — and he says, with the way he constantly does with everything and with that exact smug grin, “And, the Spotify thing. it's sweet in a sense... Itttttt's so you won't miss me rightttt? I think I so.”
As you look to the ground, his final words of the day being so unbelievable to believe in this type of situation, it makes you flush to a pink shade in an instant
“I think I'd like to spend the rest of the time that I have today with you, before I leave tomorrow☆ let's go, we have video games to play~!”
#THIS took longer than it should HAVE IT (╥﹏╥)#꒰ 🌸;; fics ̖́-#jun sazanami#jun sazanami x reader#enstars#enstars x reader#ensemble stars#ensemble stars x reader#enstars imagine#enstars imagines#ensemble stars imagine#ensemble stars imagines#sazanami jun

MORSE CODE AND CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS (EXO Xiumin × Reader)
(FANFIC)
- Anne (Pikachu)
Note: Reader= Yn (Your name) (female)
13 chapters. Fluff. Lots of beautiful smiles.
(Also, there’s a small reference to Taylor Swift's lyrics because I love her.)
Happy reading!
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
I
Yn sighed and plopped down on the seat in her favorite corner of the library. She has a painful assignment to complete. Yes painful because she has been procrastinating until the day before she has to hand over the assignment.
“Humm, lately this library has been bustling with so many visitors”, she observed. “What’s up? Are they giving out chicken drumsticks for free?” Her eyes wandered around trying to figure out the reason. “Aah, that must be it" as her gaze stopped and hovered over the librarian’s desk. There’s this unrealistically cute guy who joined the post of the librarian a few days back. His predecessor had retired. And since then the library is mostly housefull. “Okay Yn stop staring at him as if you’re looking at a pizza. You look like a creep right now. Do your homework”, she mentally slapped herself and put on her headphones, opened her favorite Playlist and focused on her assignment.
Kim Minseok was surprised at the drastic change in the number of visitors in the library since the third day of his joining. He had heard from his predecessor about the library being usually empty. He was actually relieved by this fact. He was happy to see that a puppy eyed guy and a Yoda eared guy who seem to be a couple, a guy who always wears a bear hoodie and sometimes accompanied by two toddlers, a pair of cute granny and grandpa, and a clumsy handsome young lady are the only daily visitors. But it seems that his relief was short-lived.
The library has turned into Dalian Beach these days. The girls come with the pretext of reading books here but end up gushing about how handsome he is. One of them didn’t even realize that she was ‘reading’ her book upside down and yet another straightaway came up and put a can of coke on his desk. But these don’t bother him much because he is used to the flood of compliments coming from people irrespective of gender and age. Thankfully the library gets quite empty an hour before closing.
“Oh that handsome girl is still writing. She must have a huge assignment. She usually reads some interesting books at this time of day”, he kept looking at her. “Later on I should suggest her some of my favorites as well". He resumed his work but was soon distracted by the sound of a continuous tapping. His eyes narrowed.
Yn was frustrated by the last portion of her assignment and soon found herself tapping her fingers to the beat of the music playing in her headphones. “Screw it, I give up.” She paused. “Oh well I’ll just do the rest after having my supper. Don’t wanna upset Professor Junmyeon.” She slammed shut her notebook and was startled to find the cute librarian standing right in front of her.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
II
“Umm sorry for startling you, but I wanted to ask you something.”
“Yes?” Yn was confused. What could this cute guy possibly want to know?
“Did you miss your lunch? Or are you craving for chicken drumsticks just for the sake of chicken drumsticks?”
“Huh?”
“I mean I heard you saying ‘chicken drumsticks’ over and over just now, tapping, to be precise”
“I did not. Well I had thought about it a few hours ago but not now. What makes you think so?”
“Those tapping sounds you made just now. They kinda translated into ‘chicken drumsticks’ though.”
“Really? Are you talking about Morse code?” Yn replayed that portion of the song and tapped consciously, noting down the codes while Minseok looked at her with amusement. “Holy Guacamole!” She sprang up. “You are right. Wow this is amazing!”
“So you were just tapping to the beat that turned out to be saying chicken drumsticks?”
The next moment they collapsed on the floor laughing at this curious conversation.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
III
Yn couldn’t spare time to go to the library for a week but finally she was back on her usual routine. She waved back at Minseok and broke into a giggle as she remembered the conversation about ‘chicken drumsticks’. After sometime she got up to search for another book and almost bumped into Minseok, shrieked and fell on her butt. She got back on her feet, “Whoa, you really do have a knack for scaring off people”.
“My bad. It was you who bolted in here though.” His pout made Yn's heart go UwU. “Anyway which book are you searching for?...This? Okay. Here you go"
Just as she turned and started walking back to her desk, Minseok suddenly asked “By the way Yn, you didn’t ask me my name yet".
“Oh right.” She proceeded towards him. “What is your name Mr Minseok Kim a.k.a Xiumin?”
“H-How did you know my name? Even Xiumin?” He stuttered.
“Doesn’t everyone in the college? You’re probably the only librarian who has a fan-page dedicated to him.” She chuckled in amusement.
“Wow, I had no idea", he whispered.
“They post your pictures from shooting range so I guess those are already pretty much on public domain. But you can check if they have posted any private picture of yours and maybe hit report", she suggested. “Anyway I’ll borrow this book for a week.”
“Huh? Oh right. I’ll issue it right away.” He was dazed from the information overload.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
IV
“Earth to Minseok. What are you thinking about? And what’s with the occasional smile too? Did you inhale Nitrous Oxide?” Sehun asked puckering his brows.
“Uh just two weird conversations I had with a girl. By the way, do you know I apparently have a fan-page dedicated to me?”
“Really?” It was evident that Sehun was feeling nervous for some reason.
“It seems you know something about this. C’mon spill.” Minseok insisted.
“Err well it was I who created the fan-page. Because you’re undeniably the coolest one here in the range. I even added the tagline ‘that’s right, my type’!"
“You little rascal!” He flicked Sehun's forehead. “I had the shock of my life when I came to know about this!”
“But Xiu, who’s the girl you were talking about?” Sehun had a mischievous glint in his eye. “Is that why you were smiling just now? Tell me more about it!”
“Dude it’s not what you think! She is a regular visitor in the library and we had just two conversations. I was surprised that she knew my arcade name Xiumin. And it was she who told me about the fan-page.”
“You have a crush oh her, don’t you? How is she like? Did you ask her out?”
“Relax Hun. We just talked about Morse code.”
“Ugh that’s such a turn off.”
“But she’s quite interesting. She’s handsome yes. And cute too.”
“I knew it! You’re whipped for her! Ask her out.”
“Calm down Hun. I’m not sure about how I feel and I don’t even know if she has a lover. Or if she is at all interested in me.”
“Don’t you underestimate your charm Xiu. And she isn’t interested in you? You get so many love letters, did you forget that? She might be charmed by your smile but probably doesn’t show it. She has a set boundary maybe?”
“I don’t want to draw inferences” Minseok sighed. “But yes I’d love to keep talking to her.”
“Use Morse code.” Sehun chuckled.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
V
Finally it’s FriYay night and Yn couldn’t be happier staying in her pajamas and being lazy for the next two days. But what the hell! She can’t find her headphones anywhere. And she doesn’t remember where she had last placed them. They were a gift from her cousin. Chanyeol would be upset. She will ask his boyfriend Baekhyun to calm him down and herself buy a new one in the meantime.
Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing.
“Hey Yn, Minseok here. I got your number from the library register. Sorry to call your number without your permission but I just found your headphones in the library and thought I should inform you right then.” He sounded sheepish.
“Phew, I’m so relieved! I was searching for them everywhere and almost decided to buy a new one. Thank you Minseok! I’m glad that you found them.”
“Uh it’s okay. I’m relieved too. So do you need these urgently? Then I can wait in front of the library and hand them over to-"
“No no, I don’t need them right at this moment, but… Umm can you please keep them with you until Monday? I visit the library everyday anyway. I’m too lazy to step out now.”
“Hahaha, okay okay. Don’t worry about that. See you on Monday”
Yn rolled back on her bed smiling. “I’ll have to treat him to chicken drumsticks for real.”
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
VI
“Thanks a lot Minseok." Yn took back her headphones and smiled with her heart eyes now making Minseok's heart go UwU. “Even if it’s not a big deal for you, I am really grateful to you and so I got something for you as a token.” She then started tapping on the desk. Minseok looked at her inquiringly but soon started interpreting the codes as she tapped away. “Got a box of chicken drumsticks for you. Hope you like them.”
He looked at her in surprise. “Who does not like drumsticks? You did not really have to do this though. Thank you for this.”
“Bon Appétit”, she said as she gave him the box. “Well, I need to hurry now. See you later.”
“Why is she so adorable?” He wondered while staring at the box in his hands.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
VII
Yn was having several bad days at a stretch now. She spent weeks without sleeping at night and watched FIFA world cup instead. Her favorite team was eliminated in the semifinals. And now the lack of sleep was taking a toll on her. She barely managed to complete all her pending assignments on time. Professor Junmyeon was still upset with her because she omitted a portion of her assignment carelessly. Her neighborhood cat disappeared without a trace. She avoided a freak accident but witnessed several persons getting severely injured. She has grown tired of her menstrual cramps which were being very cruel to her this time. And the last nail in the coffin: she had a quarrel with her bestfriend Jongdae today. Physically and mentally exhausted she placed her hand on her stomach and sat on a bench behind the canteen of the college and started sobbing silently.
Minseok was leaving early today because the library was practically empty today. Even Yn didn’t come. He suddenly spotted someone sitting hunched on a bench at a distance. It seemed that the person was hurt in the stomach. He rushed over there.
“Yn? What happened to you? What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere? Tell me what’s wrong.” Minseok sat beside her worriedly, held her shoulders and turned her towards him. She buried her face in his chest and burst into loud sobs. He instantly engulfed her in his hug and patted her head. “It’s okay Yn. Let it out.” Over the months he grew close to her. They both had a lot of friendly banters and of course some crazy conversations through Morse code. Seeing her cry now tugged at his heartstrings. “Breathe Yn. Take deep breaths. Yes. Do you want to talk about it?”
“I hate crying. I-I don’t want to be like this.” Yn said between her sobs. “I had way too many bad days to handle and-" she paused abruptly. The cramps were back again. She curled up in pain.
“And you are having cramps?” He finished her sentence. “You’ll be fine. Yn. Just endure a bit, okay?” Still holding her tight in his hug he reached out for his bag and took out a heating pad. “Here, Yn. Take this.” He kept on stroking her head and occasionally rubbing her back while she tended to her cramps.
_
“You okay now?”
Yn pulled back from the hug when the cramps subsided. “Thank you Minseok. Yes, I feel better now.”
“I’m glad.” He handed her some tissue paper. “Now wipe your tears and come with me” He led her to the canteen.
“Here, have a cup of hot chocolate. You’ll get relief… That’s right yes. Drink slowly.” He sat beside her and stroked her head. “Done?... Okay"
Yn started sniffling. “Yn, is everything okay?” Minseok panicked.
She nodded her head. “I’m just touched by your gesture. Thanks for making me feel better.”
Minseok smiled. “That’s what friends do. Well, it’s pretty late now. Let me drop you off at your house. Let’s go.”
_
“I have an extra helmet and I drive pretty well and my bike is well maintained.”
“I didn’t say anything.” Yn giggled.
“Well I just made a declaration so you don’t feel threatened. Just don’t fall asleep that’s all.” He was relieved to hear her laugh again.
“Aye aye Master Xiu.”
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
VIII
Yn saw that Jongdae wasn’t present in the classroom. She decided she’d visit his house later today and sort out the misunderstanding. She walked out of the classroom during recess hour. Suddenly someone hugged her tight. She smiled and hugged him back. She knew it was Jongdae. “I’m sorry Yn. There was a misunderstanding. I shouldn’t have reacted that way. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“It’s okay Dae, I realized that. And I would have anyway barged into your house had you not come to college.”
“So, are we good now?”
“Of course!”
“Okay then pretty please! Help me pick out a pendant for my girlfriend. I’ve selected some of them but couldn’t finally decide among them. Come with me to the shop later today.”
Yn scowled. “This is why you rushed to patch it up with me huh?”
“Gosh! No no no that’s not it! I’ll treat you to ice cream. Okay?”
“Okay. Deal"
Jongdae sighed. “The way you react to food, I’m pretty sure you’ll drop me in a heartbeat if someone offers you food.”
Suddenly Ji-eun appeared out of nowhere and fake punched Jongdae's face. “How dare you make my Yn baby upset? Yes Yn drop him right away. I’ll treat you to a truckload of ice cream.”
“Guys!!” Jongin appeared and walked towards them making the corridor his runway.
Yn couldn’t deny once she had a tiny crush on him.
“Guess what? Kyungsoo cooked Spaghetti for us!” Jongin screamed. And the four of them dashed to the canteen.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
IX
Yixing was already there with Kyungsoo when they reached the canteen. “Dig in guys", Kyungsoo said as they huddled around the table.
“Okay guys! I’ve some tea to spill", Ji-eun announced while looking at Yn intently.
“Spill! Spill! Spill!” They chanted in unison.
“Apparently Yn has gotten herself a boyfriend and decided to conceal the fact".
Yn almost choked. “Wha- when? Even I don’t know I have a boyfriend?”
“Oh yeah? I saw that cute librarian dropping you off at your house yesterday night. You turned to hug him but you seemed shy.” Ji-eun added with a glee “And friends don’t feel shy Yn.”
Yn protested. “I had my reasons. He’s not what you guys think.” She remembered that she hugged Minseok out of gratitude towards him for taking care of her. She had hesitated initially thinking whether it would be appropriate. But she hugged him anyway.
Suddenly someone put their chin on Yn’s left shoulder and yet another put their chin on her right shoulder and both said in unison, “Well well Yn, you never told us anything about this!”
Yn almost fell from her seat. She turned around to see Chanyeol and Baekhyun smiling mischievously at her.
“So is he or is he not-” Chanyeol said while taking a seat. “Your crush?”, added Baekhyun.
Yn shrugged. “I am not sure. I’ve way too many crushes at this point and you guys know that.”
“The most recent crush is our senior Jessi, right", Yixing asked.
“Well yes but I can only admire her from afar”, Yn replied dreamily.
“Anyway get to the point guys.” Chanyeol took the reins. “So apparently it seems he has a soft corner for Yn. I’ve noticed that. And now we must root for Yn and make sure they end up together. So whats our plan?”
“How about kidnapping him and threatening him to date Yn"? Kyungsoo asked excitedly.
“No way!” Jongin protested.
“You’re going to get all of us in trouble, Soo", Baekhyun chuckled.
“Isn’t that the easiest way out?”, Kyungsoo pouted.
“That’s not how things work, Kyungsoo-ah", Jongin said while poking at Kyungsoo's cheek.
Yn could sense that everyone noticed something was brewing between Jongin and Kyungsoo but unsurprisingly they chose to focus on Yn today.
“Well even I agree that’s the easiest way out but we don’t want to get in trouble.” Jongdae said seriously, “so Yn you better speed up and ask him out. And don’t deny that you don’t feel anything for him.”
Yn was again reminded about how she felt fuzzy while being engulfed in Minseok’s hug. He’s definitely a good friend. But she didn’t want to rush things up.
“And Yn if you want to daydream instead of eating that last spoonful of Spaghetti”, Yixing got up and snatched her spoon and finished off the remaining Spaghetti. “Let me have it.”
“I swear to God Yixing!” Yn sprang up. “I’m gonna train Inzaghi to chase you!”
“Now who’s Inzaghi?” Jongin asked suspiciously.
“It’s the Vincenzo effect.” Baekhyun explained. “It’s a neighborhood pigeon and the naming courtesy goes to Yn", Ji-eun added.
“Don’t you guys dare to give out spoilers, some of us are lagging behind an episode or two”, the rest of them warned.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Minseok was standing in the balcony of the library replaying in his head the events of yesterday. He didn’t expect Yn to hug him again and make his heart beat erratically. Sehun was right. He is falling for Yn gradually.
“Hey Minseok are you alright?” Minseok heard Yn’s voice and realized he had zoned out thinking of her. “You seem to have caught a cold.” Yn was worried.
“Oh yes it was raining in my area yesterday and I got drenched".
“Uh oh I’m so sorry. You wouldn’t have gotten drenched had you not accompanied me to drop me off.”
“Well it was raining for quite a long time and I’d have anyway gotten drenched even if I had reached my place earlier. So blame the clouds Yn.” Minseok chuckled making Yn giggle at his explanation.
“But seriously though, you don’t look good. I think you have a fever too.” Yn put her palm on his forehead. Minseok was flustered looking down at her worried face. Yn didn’t realize she was standing at almost zero distance from him. Before he could utter anything Yn grabbed his wrist. “You need to visit the doctor right now", Yn said dragging him downstairs towards the doctor’s room.
_
“He’s running a high fever. I’m giving some medicine.” The doctor took out a file of capsules. “And I think it’s better if you lie down and take rest in the sick room until your fever goes down.”
“But the libr-" Minseok tried to protest but was cut off by Yn’s stern glare.
“Library can wait. Health first Minseok". Yn crossed her arms.
“Tell your assistant about your situation. He can handle the library for sometime.” The doctor suggested.
_
“You should head back to library Yn. You went there to read, right? I’ll stay here until my fever goes down. Don’t worry I won’t run away from here.”
“I can read later. Now you close your eyes and take rest.” Yn said sitting on the chair beside the bed while stroking Minseok’s head absent-mindedly.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
XI
Yn could sense that Minseok was staring at her for a long time. The library was crowded as usual. She mouthed “what happened?” but he just smiled and shook his head and resumed his work. He seemed tensed for some reason.
She heard him tapping on his desk when the crowd thinned. Her eyes grew wide. He- did he tap “will you go on a date with me?” She saw him walk towards her.
Minseok spoke hesitantly, “I know I asked you all of a sudden, but I like you. I’ve been debating whether I should tell you this for weeks but I couldn’t hold back any further. You don’t need to tell me right now about how you feel. Take your time. And it’s absolutely fine if you don’t feel the same way. But can we maybe go on a friend date atleast?”
Yn thought for a while. “Sure. Let’s have a friend date.” She smiled. “Where are we going then?”
“I was thinking of taking you to my shooting range. We can play some rounds and have snacks later on there. How about this Sunday afternoon?”
“Sounds great!” Her eyes lit up. “But! On one condition.”
“And what’s that?” He asked cautiously.
“Bring me a bouquet of chicken drumsticks that day.” Yn replied with a wide grin.
“As you wish.” He smiled widely as he touched her nose-tip with his forefinger.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
XII
“This is such a cool place!” Yn ran around inside the shooting range, looking at everything in awe. Minseok watched her with an amused smile. Yn picked up a gun and aimed at the target.
“Wait.” Minseok came up behind her and held her arms. She felt her back against his chest. Her heart started thumping. “Focus Yn. Keep your arm straight while holding the gun. You don’t wanna hurt yourself when the gun recoils.” He adjusted her arms. “Now fire.” She hit the target.
Yn was ecstatic. “Minseok let’s play a round then. I’ll go first.”
He kept on smiling and hyped her up every time she aimed with the gun. She was just unbelievably adorable. And a sharpshooter too. She missed the target only once. He fell for her deeper every time she flashed an adorable smile at him after hitting the target.
“It’s my turn now. And I’m going to beat you in this round.” He winked at her.
Yn gaped at him while he shot the targets one by one. He looked darn sexy in that pose. He got ready for the last target and was just about to press the trigger. “I like you too, Minseok!” She blurted out. Minseok was shocked and turned his face towards Yn. The trigger went off and he missed the target.
“It’s a draw! It’s a draw! You didn’t beat me!” Yn jumped and danced gleefully around him.
“So, you- you said that just to make me miss my target? And nothing more?” Minseok looked at her sadly and turned his back to her.
“No! Oh no no you got the wrong idea.” She tugged at his sleeve. “I really meant it when I said I like you.” Minseok turned towards Yn in surprise. She went on, “I have been thinking about it ever since you told me about your feelings. I had already decided I’d tell you about my feelings today. But I couldn’t just suppress the urge to fool around a bit when I got the opportunity to.”
“You’re such a cheeky girl!” Minseok exclaimed and chased her.
“You won’t catch me that easily! I run fast.” Yn shouted while running ahead of him.
“Well not faster than I!” Minseok wrapped his arms around her waist, lifted her off the ground and spun round, making her blush.
_
“It’s getting late, Yn, let’s go now.” Minseok said tugging at her.
“I’m not able to handle this gun properly.” Yn pouted.
“It’s okay, I’ll show you how to. But later, okay? It’s getting really late now.” Minseok couldn’t stop chuckling at her antics.
_
Minseok and Yn bumped into Sehun outside the shooting range. “Yn, this is Sehun, one of my teammates in the shooting range. And a TMI, he’s the one who created that fan-page.” Minseok gave Sehun a fake glare. “And Sehun, this is Yn, my date.”
“Nice to meet you, Yn.” Sehun gave her a warm handshake. “Do you like this place and my bro here?”
“I love it here! I’m gonna come here often now.” Yn replied. “And yes I like him too.” She said looking at Minseok shyly.
Minseok blushed. “I’m dropping her off at her house. I’ll see you tomorrow Hun.”
Sehun smirked and managed to whisper into Minseok’s ear, “you are lucky that she’s into Morse code. So did you confess to her using Morse code?”
“Don’t give me that look you cheesy little brat.” Minseok whisper-yelled at him.
_
Yn stopped by her gate. “I really had a great time with you. Thank you for today Minseok.”
“I’m also glad to spend some time with you. See you tomorrow.” Minseok stopped before turning back to his bike. “So are we dating officially now Yn?”
“Yes. A thousand times yes.” Yn smiled.
He walked closer to her, leaned close to her lips and locked his eyes with hers seeking permission. She nodded nervously while standing on her tiptoes and placed her hands on his shoulders. Wrapping his arms around her he pulled her in and she was a little more brave. It’s the first kiss, it’s flawless, really something. It’s fearless. Yn didn’t care now if Ji-eun was sitting by her window and keeping an eye on her. Yn would tell her group of friends everything tomorrow.
But the thing is, Ji-eun really saw Yn with Minseok. She had a triumphant smile on her lips.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
XIII
Yn saw that everyone in her squad was giving her a cheeky smile while swarming towards her. “Guys, I can explain. I wanted to tell everything face to face. That’s why I didn’t text anyone.”
“And I saw them kissing too!” Ji-eun said excitedly and made a kissing gesture towards Yn.
Yn had a flashback of yesterday. He was very gentle with her. She absolutely melted in his kiss.
“I bet Yn is having flashbacks of that moment.” Jongdae smirked. “Look at her. Her face is a beetroot now.”
“You guys!” Yn stomped her feet.
“Okay, okay calm down Yn. Let’s have a lunch together today, shall we? Tell Minseok to join us.” Chanyeol spoke.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, call him.” Everyone shouted in unison.
“Okay. Okay. Chill.” Yn giggled while dialing Minseok’s number.
_
Minseok blended well with Yn’s noisy and cheeky friends. Yn was glad how things turned out.
“So, Yn and Minseok. Tell us how did you two end up together. What was the catalyst? The squad wants to know.” Yixing said holding up a spoon as if it were a mic.
The couple turned to each other and smiled. They both knew what they were about to say. Minseok and Yn turned again towards the squad and said, “not just one. There were two catalysts. Morse code and Chicken drumsticks.”
-----(The end)-----
_____________________________________________________________
P.S. Those who are wondering how did Minseok know Yn’s name (in chapter III), I leave it to your imagination. ;-)
He might have seen the library register, or might have noticed the name on her notebook when she shut it, or maybe her headphones were customised to bear her name on them and he noticed that. The choice is yours. And why did Yn not get surprised? Well she’s quick-witted too.
I hope this wasn’t too boring. This is my first time writing a story. Thank you for reading :-)
If you wish you can take a look at my fanart account on Instagram. Here's the link.

hcs: dating bnha boys as idols // p. 1
i hope you enjoy these gender neutral headcanons! most of these are based off on western music and off my last post. expect iida’s and todoroki’s soon, and if you want something else, send in requests or ideas! anyway, enjoy! - xio
warning: swearing (bakugo’s included in this. of course it has swearing) ⋄⋆⊹⋄⋆⋄⋆⊹⋄⋆⋄⋆⊹⋄⋆ izuku midoriya // deku
treats you like royalty. incredibly sweet and despite being the famous one, he’s your biggest fan.
although some of his fans were disappointed that he was dating someone, the real ones ship you two hard. there’s a lot of fanart and comments that “complain” about how adorable you are together.
in public, he’s very shy. izuku can’t handle pda very well and he’ll blush heavily if you kiss him. hand holding and a peck on the cheek is the most he does.
however, if he’s in his more confident stage persona at an event or performance, deku has the courage to wink and send looks to you. when he has time to stop, you’ll be pulled backstage or even onstage for multiple a kiss.
lots of soft kisses before rehearsals and concerts for good luck.
plays guitar for you when you’re at home with him. it’s calming and sometimes he’ll sing if his voice isn’t tired from the day’s rehearsals.
loves cuddles. big on dates where you just cuddle, talk, and sleep. play with his fluffy hair and he’ll melt in your arms.
serenades you for an anniversary and the loving and earnest look on his face made the night perfect.
nonchalantly buys you gifts all the time. is a big fan of giving you stuffed animals.
will give you his sweaters with a huge blush on his face. seeing you in his clothes is the best thing for him.
if you ever wear his deku! merchandise, he’ll be the happiest man alive. trust me on this.
“sweetheart, you look so nice in that hoodie!”
loves casual dates. going to cafes, ramen shops, ice cream parlors, walks downtown, arcades. he tries not to be noticeable by wearing fashion masks and beanies but still gets caught. izuku will always break away from his fans quickly to not disturb your date though!
peppers your face with kisses when you’re with him during live streams.
will not shut up about you if asked during interviews because you’re amazing and he loves you so much. they’ve had to interrupt him for the sake of time and he’ll pout, an adorably upset look on his face.
likes having music playing in the background of the apartment or in the car when you drive out for dates. deku likes to sing along to disney and indie songs but loves hearing what your music taste is.
he can and will bop if it’s a jam, nodding his head to the beat and doing a little shoulder dance. he blushes unbelievably deep if when you catch him even though singing and dancing is what he’s famous.
there have been times where he has to leave the country or continent for his job, but the two of you are each other’s biggest support systems, so time management wasn’t an issue when it came to spending time together. let’s just say, a lot of video calls and texts were made and sent during those times.
all of deku’s fans can see that there’s an unmistakable bond between the two of you.
⋄⋆⊹⋄⋆⋄⋆⊹⋄⋆⋄⋆⊹⋄⋆ katsuki bakugo // ground zero
this man... is fiercely protective over you.
his fans were so pissed when they found out their ground zero had a significant other.
“of course i’m dating someone, idiots.”
bakugo had to make a official announcement on all of his social media pages to say he was in a relationship and it was on trending for a while. it’s common knowledge that you two are dating.
he doesn’t like disgustingly obvious pda but will kiss (or even make out if he feels so inclined) and hold your hand all he wants. bakugo’s logic is confusing.
shouts you out at concerts casually but in reality, it’s his way of dedicating the concert to you.
“this is for you, idiot. tch.” is the equivalent of “i love you so much for sticking with my stubborn self.”
lots of quickies backstage before public interviews. he will leave lots of hickies on you even though everyone knows you’re his.
passionate kisses after he comes backstage. the adrenaline rushing through his veins because of the set he just did makes the kiss electrifying. when you part, he can’t help but pull you flush against him to whisper something in your ear.
it’ll either be suggestive or loving or a mixture of both because your boyfriend is a wild card when it comes to showing you affection.
calls you ‘babe’ or ‘mine’ when talking to his fans about you.
during live streams, he’ll either be possessive or make fun of you. no in between.
from “that’s mine. damn right.” to “did you hear that? yea, that’s my baby’s laugh. fucking loud as hell.”
asks for feedback on his performance, agreeing aggressively to your compliments and nodding at your critiques.
will toss you over his shoulder to cuddle on his bed. he cuddles but only by his rules.
unless he’s sleepy. in that case, little spoon him.
he likes it when you trace his tattoos.
katsuki pulls you into his lap when he’s bored to mess with you. he enjoys seeing your surprised expression.
he will put his ground zero merch in your closet and pretend like it waltzed in there by itself. when you eventually wear it because he’ll get grumpy if you don’t, he smirks and grabs you to close the distance between the two of you.
“babe, i think you look better with it off...” he growls against your skin before taking you places...
bakugo’s very extra so he’ll take you on public dates, telling fans to fuck off so he can spend time with you. sometimes he’ll stop to talk with them but it’s a rarity. he likes physically active and competitive dates, like rock climbing and laser tag. he will chill at home with you if you just want time with him though.
listens to a lot of rap and punk music so expect to hear that around the house even if he has headphones on. head bobs a lot occasionally and occasionally dances if it’s a really good song. if you record him, there’s a 15% chance of survival. also katsuki does not like it when you play a song different from his playlists.
“katsuki... i don’t want to listen to travis scott anymore.”
“get out of my car.”
although your relationship is filled with cusses and middle fingers, there’s also listening to songs together under the starlight on your anniversary and passionate kisses exchanged. ground zero is a handful, but he’s your boyfriend, so have fun...

{ odeya rush ♔ twenty-three ♔ she/her } well, well, well if it isn’t rowan foster running around peach hollow. legend has it, she comes from tangerine towers and has lived here her entire life. if you’re wondering what she’s been up to, i hear she’s a make up artist / freelance musician for a living. she has been known to be impulsive yet insightful. a word of advice to her, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching.
why yes, it is i, admin kim, with another character that should’ve been kept in the drafts of my mind. if you’ve not met daysia or serenity, here’s a lil low down on me. i’m 26, i use she/her pronouns, and live on the east coast. i thrive on writing angst and my animal crossing villagers being happy. also caffeine. i luv chris klemens. most likely to have a mental breakdown on twitter. meet rowan! trigger warnings for mental illness, bipolar disorder specifically, and inpatient treatment
have a playlist and a pinterest board dedicated to her
rowan celeste foster was born may 27th, 1996. she’s the oldest of two, a baby sister coming to the scene in 1999.
her family is extremely close. they’ve been in peach hollow their whole lives. she grew up in a crowded house on blueberry boulevard, crammed in with her mother, father, sister, maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather. rowan never knew peace or privacy growing up – it just wasn’t possible with that many people which has really contributed to her somewhat isolated adulthood
her mother is a charge nurse at peach hollow general, working on the emergency room floor. her father is a retired car salesman. her grandparents moved into the house when her sister was born in order to help take care of the girls while their parents worked full time. rowan is especially grateful for their care, because she feels like she’d be a little more sour had she been raised by absent parents.
growing up, she shared a room with her younger sister. they told each other everything because they had no choice not to. they both developed an interest in make up and music at very young ages, but rowan particularly took to those things while maci took more interest in sports. when rowan was gifted her first ukulele at age 6, maci got her first basketball. they are polar opposites, but maci was the only person rowan really confided in as a child and an adolescent.
she’d always been rather moody. tantrums and fits were nearly unavoidable. her self esteem lacked before she even had a chance to develop any confidence. she was always the try hard, the girl who stood out because she was just a little different, the emotional one, the one the other kids didn’t want to mess with, not because she’d fight back, but because she would absolutely lose it. there were countless times where rowan ended up in the guidance counselor’s office, waiting on her grandmother to show up and bring her home. that was the beginning of their problems.
her mental health really started to decline in her mid teenage years. she spent hours upon hours in her room, writing songs, playing guitar, practicing make up looks – she’d go days without sleeping and snap at anyone who crossed her path. she got into screaming matches with everyone in the house, only to find herself crying in her bed for the next few days. she started missing days at a time from school, while her artistry thrive, the rest of her crumbled. her grades, all of it.
eventually, this resulted in her parents yanking her out of peach hollow high and putting her in counseling, which lead her to a psychiatrist and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder at the age of 17. while it made sense, she dreaded taking the medications. they numbed everything. her writing suffered, and while her moods weren’t swinging from the trees anymore, she feared that this empty feeling was worse.
she finished her high school diploma in homeschooling with her grandmother while maci went on to thrive in school. the attention shifted to her, and rowan couldn’t really blame them. she turned 18 and started performing in clubs, bars, and anywhere she could get in. ps her voice is a mix of bishop briggs & mary lambert. the thrill of performing to small crowds sucked her in. she began to gain an even smaller following on social media, mainly the locals following her. every once in a while she’ll book a show in atlanta and she’ll make the long drive just to sing in front of a bit of a larger crowd. she’ll gain a few followers from those shows, but this still isn’t her main source of income.
most of her money comes from the make up artistry she does through pop of peach. she doesn’t go in every day, but when someone has an event scheduled or needs their make up done for a dance or something, she’s there. she tries to spread things out bc she’s always late lmao and finds it hard to stick to a schedule
she was doing so well for a few years, even moved out of her parents’ house and into an apartment at the towers. that’s where she really found herself, made some real friends and built relationships that were good for her. however, she missed a few doctor’s appointments and was discharged from her psychiatrist’s office. she went off meds, and for a few weeks it was fine. when she ran out of meds, the next few weeks were okay as well. it was when every single drop of medication had drained from her body that things got bad.
rowan was missing appointments she scheduled at pop of peach. she was spending far too much time out at nights, giving in to alcohol for the most part. she tried not to touch any drugs, but drinking became a nightly thing. she’d perform, then spend the rest of the night partying with whoever she could find at the venue.
one night in atlanta after a particularly shaky performance, rowan found herself in a dark place and simply went into the women’s bathroom to calm down, but police say they found her laying flat on the ground, refusing to respond to anyone. she vaguely remembers the end of the manic episode, but it did land her in the emergency room for a change in mental status.
much to her chagrin, they admitted her overnight before transporting her to skyland trail, a mental health facility in atlanta. she spend about two and a half months there getting medications regulated and learning new coping mechanisms. she was discharged about two weeks ago and finally made it back to peach hollow and her apartment.
she’d lead everyone other than her family and maybe one or two other people that she was away on a musician’s retreat, but really, was in inpatient treatment.
she’s currently working full time as a make up artist at pop of peach and performing when she can, but doesn’t really go outside of peach hollow
fun facts & personality
rowan despises small talk. conversations about the weather or political climate don’t stimulate her and she gets snarky pretty easily. it isn’t that she wants to come off rude or unapproachable, but nine times out of ten, small talk is fake and she feels as though she doesn’t have the time or energy to indulge in it. ask her about the sky or some shit. she won’t shut up
she has a tendency to overshare, aside from what’s been going on in the past few months. her lips are sealed tight about that. however, she’s open to talking about her mental health and is a big advocate for erasing the stigma. this makes rowan a very good listener and a huge supportive presence for anyone struggling. she’s the mom friend, and no matter what time of day or night, if someone says they need an ear, she’ll go to them. she knows what it’s like to be alone.
despite her past and her demons, rowan finds a way to put on a smile. it might often be snarky or sarcastic, but rarely is it insincere. she’s an empath and feels everything so very deeply, but can easily put it away when necessarily.
her apartment is her safe haven. she rarely has company. it isn’t really her thing. she prefers to go to other people’s places. she has her record collection proudly displayed on her living room wall, all the plants you can imagine, incense burning whenever she’s home, and a scottish fold munchkin cat named loonette after her favorite childhood tv show, the big comfy couch. she has hopes to get another cat named molly to match. you know, because we’re all clowns !
she takes great pride in her instagram. it sounds superficial, but often times, rowan will post a good picture and then link to her next show in hopes that somebody will come based on that. while she does have a passion for make up and a second instagram for it, ultimately, she’d like for there to come a time where she can live solely on the money she makes through music
catch her driving her old ass ford focus blaring 00s alternative, mainly fuckin paramore bc she’s heart eyes for hayley williams
wanted connections if ya made it this far!!!!
childhood friends – those who she’s known since elementary school. they’ve most likely watched her go through her many trials and tribulations in class. these could be acquaintances, close friends, or even a ride or die or two.
bullies – people who fucked with her through school. it’s essential that they’re on bad terms currently, but perhaps an enemy turned friend or romantic could be fun??
group therapy pal – this would be super fun and might entail the person finding out about her secret…. msg me for deets
exes – there will be a couple of these, gender does not matter. i’d like to find one that she was dating when she went into treatment and maybe hasn’t seen/spoken to them since they’ve been back, first love, high school sweetheart?? omg possibilities are endless
flirtationship – self explanatory, gender doesn’t matter she’s pan
any other ideas literally lmk!! thanks for reading ♥

NCT 127 Confessing to Their Crush
Requested by @czakuranevan-blog:
Hello, could you do a NCT 127 reaction about how they would confess their feelings to their crush? Thank you in advance :)
Nina’s Note: I had so much fun writing this and kept it gender neutral. I went overboard with the reactions so some are slightly longer than usual asdfghjkl. What can I say? NCT owns my heart.
Taeil:
*I LOVE Taeil’s look in Limitless
Taeil and you take a spontaneous trip to a local karaoke bar to relieve some stress and sing your hearts out. Usually you two keep the karaoke sessions within the confines of your home but he insists to go out for a change. Still a bit bashful about your singing, you encourage Taeil to sign up for a performance.
After writing his name on the sheet, he sits with you at a nearby table and enjoys the other performers. Soon enough, it’s his turn and you applaud happily while he walks up to the mic stand and waits for the song to start. The intro to “Thinking Out Loud” plays, immediately making you smile.
You’ve heard him sing it to himself a dozen times but never grow tired of his voice. However, something feels different about this performance as you watch him closely. Throughout the song, Taeil sings with such passion and you swear he’s only looking in your direction the entire time. It almost feels like he’s confessing something. Applause fills the air once he finishes and you’re left stunned with the next few words that fall from his mouth, “Thank you. I dedicate that song to someone very special that came with me tonight.”
Johnny:
Johnny and you have known each other since childhood which provides perks such as a strong friendship and tons of embarrassing moments that can be used for blackmail whenever necessary. You’ve seen his passion for photography grow over the years and always praise his work. He decides to test out his skills with a beach landscape and invites you to join him.
After persuading you to be his subject, he instructs you to hold a certain pose, tilting your chin up and fixing your hair. “Wow, I’d put a ring on that!” he exclaims and walks backwards pondering on the angles to capture for the mini shoot. “Johnny, are you hitting on me?” you shout from a distance but only see him playfully roll his eyes in return.
His smile subsides as he concentrates on the camera settings and adjusts his stance before snapping a few shots. He quickly reviews them and lifts his gaze ready to direct you into a different pose when his thoughts go blank. The sun setting in the distance creates the perfect atmosphere and he sneakily takes a few candids of you looking out across the water.
“Why are you looking at me like I’m the eighth wonder of the world?” you tease while laughing. “Because you are,” Johnny replies, walking over and showing the shots he took moments ago. You gawk at the results as he clicks through each shot, leaning in closer to study every detail. He notices your proximity and compliments, “You make a wonderful model.” Now it’s your turn to playfully roll your eyes at his statement. “And to answer your question from earlier, yes, I was hitting on you.”
Taeyong:
Taeyong is your new handsome neighbor that graciously saved you one night with his impeccable cooking skills. You bluffed to your mother about your improved cooking skills in hopes she would stop worrying about you living on your own. (You can’t exactly reveal you live off of takeout, right?)
One night she texts you that she’s in the neighborhood and wants to stop by later to catch up and taste your amazing cooking. This sends you into a frenzy, your feet taking you to Taeyong’s front door at the precise moment he was about to head outside. You briefly explain the dilemma and ask for some tips but he offers to assist you with the dish instead.
After that day, your friendship grew stronger and the two of you made it a habit to cook together a few times a week. You’re halfway through devouring your pasta when Taeyong utters, “I like you.” Your fork clanks against the plate as you stare at him with astonishment.
He nervously laughs and gestures to the glass on the table, “Looks like the wine is talking tonight.” You take a sip from your own drink before replying, “I like you too. We make a great team and I really enjoy our dinners together.” He grins from across the table and suggests, “Maybe we should go out to dinner for a change.”
Yuta:
Yuta calls one day asking if you’re free to hang out but instantly hears the sickness in your voice. You constantly reassure him it’s nothing serious, but your body betrays you, a series of sneezes and coughs directed into the transmitter on the phone. In record time, he appears at the front door with a care kit full of your favorite snacks and movies.
He orders you to rest on the sofa and heads to a nearby closet for spare blankets. Upon returning, Yuta finds you scarfing down mouthfuls of candy that were meant to be eaten during the movie. Raising an eyebrow, he locks eyes with you and plucks the box of M&Ms from your hand.
After feeding you soup and tea, he wraps the blankets snugly around your body and starts the movie of choice. Ignoring your pleas about getting him sick, he pulls you closer and rests your head on his chest. The cold medicine eventually takes effect and you begin dozing off before the movie finishes.
Yuta observes your sleepy state and smiles warmly before leaning down and kissing the top of your head. “You’re lucky I like you,” he whispers and trails his hand over your hair. Feeling far too sleepy to question him further, you mumble back, “I like you too” and allow sleep to consume you.
Doyoung:
Doyoung has been your rock through the hard times and you definitely need him now. You faced a nasty breakup a few days ago but still can’t get past the heartbreak. As soon as he sees your incoming text, he grabs his car keys and travels to your place.
You haven’t looked in the mirror for days and hope your appearance isn’t too terrible. Throwing on a hoodie and your favorite pants, you enter his car with a glum expression and he counters with a small smile before pulling off for a drive.
Doyoung drives around aimlessly for a while until he figures out how to improve your mood. He scrolls through his playlist and selects his favorite song, singing along to the track. Unbuckling your seat belt, you shift your body facing him and rest your back on the passenger door, leaning your head against the seat and closing your eyes to focus on his soothing voice.
When the song ends, Doyoung takes a deep breath before saying, “I know it’s too soon to say this, but I really do care about you.” “More than a friend,” he admits while staring at the road ahead, his heart beating way faster than he’d like it to. “You don’t have to give me an answer right now. You deserve time to heal.” Opening your eyes and smiling to yourself, you shift in the seat and hold onto his right hand laying freely on the center console.
Jaehyun:
You met Jaehyun one day when he walked into class late and sat in the only seat available beside you. He lightly taps you and leans in whispering, "Did I miss anything?" “Just another rant about how millennials are ruining the dating scene. Professor had another bad Tinder date,” you chime with a smile. Sharing a quiet laugh, you exchange names before proposing to grab coffee after class and get to know each other better.
It's become a tradition for you two to meet at a cafe and chat for hours. You've had a crush on Jaehyun for a while now and finally gain the courage to make the first move. After finishing classes for the day, you race over to the cafe and wait for him to arrive. Hours pass with no sign of Jaehyun and an employee notifies you the shop is closing soon.
Dejected, you gather your things and exit the shop listening to a playlist, eventually spotting him a few stores down talking to someone and looking all cozy. He doesn't notice you storming up to him until you pass by bumping shoulders. You ignore his shouts in your direction and turn the volume up. Later that night, a notification pings on your phone. Jae: Night drive. Meet me in ten.
Curious about his explanation for bailing, you meet him outside and enter the car wordlessly. He starts driving and immediately apologizes for forgetting to meet up. “I ran into a childhood friend visiting for a work conference. You know I wouldn’t skip on our plans...I like you too much.” Your eyes shift to observe his expression and see if he’s lying. He actually seems a bit nervous after confessing and waits for a reply, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel.
Now you feel like a complete fool for being jealous and giving Jaehyun the cold shoulder. "Stop the car," you request, closing your eyes and contemplating what you're about to do. He scrunches his face with confusion but obeys and parks down the street. Jaehyun turns to face you wondering why you're so quiet before you grab his collar and reel him in for a kiss. You both pull away after a few seconds and stare at each other until you break the silence. "See you in chemistry!" you throw open the passenger door and shut it behind you before racing back home.
Winwin:
Sicheng loves stopping by your place for movie night, but you’re calling him over for a different reason this time. You’re struggling with a project for work and need his input. After successfully coaxing him with the promise of pizza, he listens to your short presentation and offers tips to improve the flow.
Sicheng finds your resolve admirable, smiling to himself as you bend down and scribble little pointers on cue cards. The other guys always ruin his opportunities to confess his crush on you so he decides to do it now that you’re both alone. He clears his throat and calls out your name instantly grabbing your attention. “I just wanted to say…”
Suddenly, the doorbell rings and you excitedly shout, “Pizza's here!” He sulks in defeat on the couch and lightly stomps his foot on the floor while you pay for the food. “What were you going to say?” you ask while walking over with the pizza box in hand. He sighs and mutters, “It can wait for next time.”
Jungwoo:
Your roommate Jungwoo wakes you up with a pleasant breakfast to start off your birthday. He cleans up the dishes after the meal and glances over at the clock counting down the minutes until you leave for work. Once you leave, he hurries off to grab decorations and calls over a few friends to help set up the place for the surprise party.
Jungwoo assigns everyone a task, confident they will not disappoint him, and runs out to buy your gift. After a long hectic day, you yearn to settle down with Jungwoo on the couch and watch your favorite movie. A big celebration can wait for the weekend. Your tiredness instantly evaporates the second you open the door and are met by a loud cheer in unison.
Family and close friends embrace you and wish you happy birthday before allowing you to settle into the party. You meet eyes with Jungwoo across the room and he tilts his head towards the balcony. Following him outside, he presents you with a small box and you happily open it to reveal a bracelet with his initial and a heart on each end. “This is really thoughtful; thank you!” you beam while he helps clasp it around your wrist.
“I have a matching one too,” he lifts his wrist to show you his bracelet decorated in a similar style but with your initial. “Just a way to show how much you mean to me.” Jungwoo looks like he wants to say more, but can’t gain the confidence to say the exact words. Catching his hint, you look at him amusedly before pecking him on the cheek. “We’ll finish this conversation after the party,” you wink and return inside to converse with guests.
Mark:
Mark is one of your closest friends at work and drives you home sometimes. However, you’re completely oblivious about his crush on you and tonight he hopes to change that. He takes one final breath before exiting his car with a bouquet and walking up to your front door.
You have a bad habit of leaving your curtains drawn back in the living room, allowing the outside world to peer in every once in a while. While approaching, his eyes flicker to your window and witness you hugging an unknown man. Upset with his discovery, Mark turns away and starts walking back to his car before hearing your voice call out his name.
He turns to see the unknown man walk down the pathway with a suitcase and nod politely before entering an awaiting cab. You stand by the doorway looking at Mark curiously and ask, "What brings you here?" He avoids the question, hiding the bouquet behind his back and replying, "No reason. It looked like I was going to interrupt something."
"That was my cousin! He lives across the country and visited me for the week," you utter with a slight shrug. "Y-your cousin?" Mark fumbles out as his eyes widen with shock. You nod with a light laugh taking in his flustered appearance and spot a few flowers sticking out behind him. "Are those for me?"
He retrieves the bouquet from behind and sheepishly presents it to you. “I was wondering if you had plans this weekend,” he says while walking closer, nervously waiting for your response. You accept the flowers and reply, “Nope, I’m free but I have a better idea. Food delivery is on the way and I ordered way too much for one person. Care to join me?”
Haechan:
Haechan is your favorite person in the whole wide world. You always go to him for a laugh and make sure to sit next to each other during every lecture. After he drops you off at the dorm, he lingers in the hallway until the coast is clear and slips a note under your door.
You don’t notice the green folded paper on the floor until hours pass and you take a break from studying. Wondering if something slipped out of your bag, you lean down and unfold the note with surprise etched on your face. It displays a ton of scribbled compliments before signing off with a single heart drawn on the bottom.
The next day, you show Haechan the note wondering if he recognizes the handwriting. He simply shrugs and answers, “Looks like you have a secret admirer.” These mysterious love notes continue appearing under your door for a solid week. You appreciate the notes but the anonymity is slowly driving you crazy.
When you settle in class the next day, Haechan offers you his notes to study before leaving to use the restroom. You suddenly notice green sheets of paper sticking out the back of his notebook and the similar writing style on the pages. When he returns, he finds you scattering his secret admirer notes onto the desk with a small smile adorning your lips, relieved you finally solved the mystery. Sitting down, he playfully pushes your shoulder and says, “Took you long enough!”

Max is a little streamer well known to be one of Marinette's best rivals, especially on Ultimate Mecha Strike 3.

He lives in Strasbourg and works in engineering stuff.
He does very little live but has a very loyal audience because he's a goddamn god on some games.
And some compilation of their best roasted and sassy moment are on youtube.
The two fight each year for the prize of UMS3
The two like to throw shades at each other when they playing together.. Very big sassy and roasted moment.
* A bit like RuPaul's Reading season 5 between Alaska and Alyssa Edward * (Yeah i’m kinda in some fever of RPDR right now)
Like :
There is a roasted meme running in their respective communities, because Max had been champion for two years when Marinette arrived and took that cup from him.
“Hey Bug In ! Here Ladybug, I'm with our dear friend The Gamer, undefeated champion of UMS3 oh whait -
They talk on discord
Okay I finish to translate everything, and shame on my I finish juste by copy paste from google translate.

You’re my Best Friend- Joe Mazzello x Pregnant!Reader
Summary: Pregnant!Reader reflects on her Pregnancy while sharing a lovely moment with Joe in their kitchen.
Word Count: 1739
Warnings: Fluff. Just pure unadulterated fluff
A/N: This story is written and dedicated @elliesmithy3 aka. @rogerina-yee-haw who inspired the idea, without you this wouldn’t have come into fruition. Ellie, you are my muse and you never fail to make my day! I have recently started writing again as a hobby and this is only my second posted piece. It was really fun to write, and I hope you all enjoy, it means a lot to me that you would take the time to read my story.
Parenthood used to scare you. The very idea of a helpless, defenseless creature needing your care and attention to survive used to shake you to the core, as you imagined every little possible scenario that could go wrong. It didn’t help that as a writer your mind was prone to overthinking these horrific scenarios as a single thought would refuse to leave until you focused on every little detail. However, this was all before you met Joe, all before he became the love of your life.
You had been married for nearly two years before you both decided to try for a family of your own, and with luck on your side, you became pregnant only after a couple of months of trying. To say you were excited would be an understatement. To say Joe was excited would be an insult to the word itself. You practically had to teether Joe to your side as he was bouncing off the walls with his energy, every part of him oozing with excitement as he couldn’t wait to become a dad.
“That’s our baby in there Y/N,” Joe said almost every single time he put his hands on your bump, wanting to feel every movement the baby made. His smile, while bright on its own, appeared to shine at over a million watts since you told him the news, never leaving your side and never taking his hands off of you!
“You are just so beautiful,” Joe said as he watched you in the kitchen, while you were making a small meal you were craving. Your Spotify playlist set to a classic rock station, as you continue to stir your meal.
“I’m glad someone thinks so,” You said, having not felt that well recently about your appearance. You could no longer see your toes when looking down and needed help with getting off the couch. While Joe was more than happy to help with every little thing you needed, you hated feeling like a burden to others and having to be dependent on other people.
“Y/N, I mean it,” Joe said a determined look in his amber eyes. “You are doing something so spectacular right now, you’re creating a baby, our baby, and that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.” Joe wrapped his arms from behind you, resting his hands on your bump and if, on cue, your little ball of joy decided to kick back.
“Well dear, she already likes you,” You said turning off the stove and turning to face Joe. “I swear every time you’re near me, even if it just your voice she decides it’s time to play hacky sack with my kidneys.” Joe laughed at your comment before kissing your cheek.
“What can I say Y/N, I guess she just daddy’s little girl,” Joe said his smile growing bigger than before, a feat you were sure had to be impossible at some point, while he continued to run circles on your bump.
You still remember just how enamored he was when you learned you were having a daughter. When the technical asked if you wanted to know the gender, you both couldn’t say yes fast enough, however, Joe said his at breakneck speed making you wonder when he learned to talk even quicker than he normally did. With the cold gel on your belly, and your right hand holding Joe’s, you looked on screen as the technician moved the wand over your stomach. You have done many ultrasounds before, but each one was more spectacular than the last, as you watched over the months of your baby developing, enjoying watching them hiccup on screen, as you felt their movements within you, fascinated by the sheer fact that this baby was growing inside you.
“Congrats you two,” The technical stated breaking you out of your train of thought. “It’s a girl!”
You felt your heart stop at the news, as you tried to process the information. You were having a daughter and couldn’t help but to start tearing up as you thought about the little girl moving within you, feeling her squirm, and that’s this was a little girl you already loved with your whole heart without ever having held her in your arms. You were already so in love, and you wondered how you were going to have more love to give her.
When you turned to Joe, with tears in your eyes, the first thing you noticed was the stream of tears running down his face, like a waterfall into a river. Joe looked at you with so much love in his eyes. You couldn't help but fall in love with him all over again. You have always adored how sensitive Joe could be, and this time was no different. He stared at you for a bit, before looking back at the monitor, new tears forming as his eyes lingered on the screen.
“We’re having a baby girl, Y/N.” He said at a whisper, still processing the news before his grin grew into an even bigger smile. Before you realized it, he started showering you in kisses, starting at your cheeks before finishing with a long tender kiss on the lips, unlike anything you ever felt before. This man never kissed the same way twice.
“I’m glad your happy, dear,” You said letting your fingers trance a few of his tears away.
“Y/N, I’ve been happy since the day you said you would marry me. This is just perfect! Life is just perfect! You are just perfect! And our little girl is going to be just as perfect as her momma!” You could only smile back, as your husband asked for at least ten copies of the ultrasound wanting to have a keepsake of this moment forever, his mouth still moving at nearly a hundred words per second.
It was the next song that came on the station that broke you out of your train of thought and caused you to look into Joe’s brown eyes, the lights of the kitchen showcasing the red hue of his auburn hair. It was the grim on his face that let you know he was thinking the exact same thing.
“Do you still remember how our dance went to this?” You asked putting your arms on his shoulders as you did nearly three years ago. While he might have had on a nice tux back then and you had on a white dress smaller than your current size, the feeling remained the same; this man was the love of your life. “I might not be able to do all the moves.” You said looking back at your bump, a lovely smile on your face as you watched Joe put his arms around your waist, his fingers lingering on your stomach.
“That’s not a problem at all babe,” Joe said as he started to lead into swaying back and forth in your kitchen. “You’re my Best Friend” becoming white noise as you just looked at him and caressed his cheek, examining all the features you hoped your daughter would process. You wanted her to be a mini copy of Joe with ginger hair and brown eyes running around the house. You found yourself longing for the days when Joe and her would be driving you crazy in the best way possible, as he no doubt would spoil her, giving her every little thing she would ever desire, showering her with so much affection. You looked at Joe and saw all the fears you ever had for the future go away, as you knew he already processed so much love, more than any man should be allowed to. When she started kicking up a storm again, you pulled Joe right hand from your waist and watched as his face lit up with every little kick. He kneeled before you and lifted your shirt to reveal a small sliver of skin, his hands laying on both sides of your stomach, and while there were days you felt as big as a house, you couldn’t help but feel like a goddess right now, as Joe’s attention was to the little life you created within you.
“Hi Baby Girl,” Joe said before placing a kiss above your navel. “We’re very excited to meet you, just a couple more weeks until we get to hold you in our arms.” His right thumb tranced the spot he kissed before your daughter decided to kick again.
“Until then, please be kind to Mommy, she works so hard to provide so much for you, and you need to treat her with respect.” You could feel your eyes water up as you continued to watch as he bonded with your bump.
“I love you so much and can’t wait to show you off to the world.” Joe got up from his knees and look at you as if he was looking into your soul. His features soften as his big brown eyes poured with love. Pulling you into a passionate kiss, you felt your breath hitched, as you leaned further into the embrace, closing the space in between as much as you could with your bump in the way.
“You are going to be the greatest dad ever Joseph Francis Mazzello III.” You said after Joe broke the kiss, wrapping your arms around his broad shoulders.
“Only because I have an amazing wife to share this journey with,” Joe said placing a kiss on your forehead. “I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful gift.” His hands found there way back to your stomach, lingering for a moment before returning to your waist.
“Right back at you darling.”
“Hey babe,” Joe said causing you to look up, as you saw his eyes wide opened, staring at the stove behind you before he started laughing to himself. “I think your food is getting cold.”
“Let it get cold. I have all the warmth I ever need right here.” You said looking at him with a grin on your face. “Plus I found a better craving to satisfy me.” You said as you leaned your head on his shoulder and taking in his scent. You have never been happier. Ever fear, and every anxiety you ever had about becoming a mom failed to exist, as you knew that as long as you had Joe by your side, you would be able to handle anything in your way.

“WORK IN PROGRESS” analysis (Part I.)
As you may know I’m a bit obsessed with Carry On, by Rainbow Rowell and there are rumours about a possible sequel that I really wish are true. She has made a playlist called “WORK IN PROGRESS” and as I really want to know if the new book she’s writing could be a sequel or not I’ve decided to listen to it and analyse the lyrics of all the songs. I’m a bit busy right now because I’m on an exam period, so this is only the first part (I’ll try to make the second part tomorrow). It would be great if you add some theorys to it and tell me what you think, and that you reblog it if you’ve liked it so everyone in the fandom could see it! As it’s a bit long I’ve put the summarys in bold so you can skip my comments if you want. I hope it’s useful for the fandom!
1. Eyes off you: It talks about someone who has probably just breakup with someone who still loves (”I can't take my eyes. Eyes, eyes, eyes off you”).
The air reminds me totally to Baz’s playlist and there’s a sentence the singer repeats at the end ”And I bathed in the light you gave But it's dark in another way” that reminds me of “You were the sun and I was crashing into you”
2. Afraid of Nothing: It’s a beautiful song dedicated to a nameless romantic partner who has been unable to open up emotionally (“show their face”).I have been reading the comments and they say it’s about a homosexual couple and the singer tells the other to open up, a literal comment says “the protagonist needs the partner to be ‘out and proud’” what probably means the book is about a same gender relationship.
Snowbaz? Please. It also give me the vibes of the end of Carry On when Simon talks about Baz changing the subject every time he mentions his therapist. Maybe he doesn’t open up?
3. Sim Sala Bim: It talks about a man that left his partner in the middle of the night and he didn’t have the courage to tell them goodbye. The first verse is in the pov of the man who left, and the second one is in hix ex-partner pov. “Then the Earth shook, that was all that it took for the dream to break”
Another breakup song, bad news. For what I’ve heard this far it seems that the book is about a couple that has just breakup and how they’re coping with it.
4. Chicago: At the begginig the song is about someone who travels a lot but as the song keeps going you realize it’s about all the mistakes we make when going up and about letting things go. These lyrics summarize the song: “You came to take us / All things go, all things go / To recreate us / All things grow, all things grow / We had our mindset / (I made a lot of mistakes) “
I think this song coud be about Agatha. The protagonist is someone who has travel a lot (California) and thinks about overcome things and about growing up. They also say how they changed their mindset and how they make mistakes, which is practically Agatha at the end of the book.
5. A horse with no name: This song is about someone who starts a journey in a desert. I suppose it’s a metaphor about something, in the comments they say drugs, but I don’t think that’s the meaning Rainbow understands. This part of the chorus “It felt good to be out of the rain / In the desert you can remember your name / Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain” seems to me that he wanted to escape from something and wants to be alone.
I don’t really know who this song could be refering to. If the book is about a breakup it could be about any of both parts. If it’s actually a Carry On sequel, this song could refer to Agatha too, because she flew away.
6. Come On! Feel the Illinoise! (Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition – Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream) : (Yes, that’s the title of the song) Genius contributors say “The two parts of this song seem to explore the tension between art and commerce.The first, by examining the 1893 World’s Fairquestions whether we have progressed through our creations or actually taken steps back because of our obsession with consumption. The second part becomes more introspective, as previous posters have mentioned, by looking at artists themselves and how they fit.”
I don’t know how to connect this song to Carry On. At the end the singer says “Even in my best condition, counting all the superstition / I am riding all alone / I am running all alone” what could mean something similar to last song (A horse with no name)
7. Sonsick: Beautiful song, amazing vocals. You should listen to it. The song is about a girl who wants to fall in love and have a family, that’s the meaning of the sonsick title. Anyway, she isn’t in love with her partner “I'll fall for you soon enough, I've resolve to love” and it could be because she’s scared “ Oh, don't be scared / But it's a harder kind of fear” of falling in love becuse there’s no way back “You best hold on or else you're in it / (Clear your mind) / And when you think you're thinking clearly / (It's alright) / You're really tied up and committed”
This song could be about someone in a relationship that’s afraid to fall in love, or that maybe wants to form a family. It also could be about someone looking for love. It’s difficult because I think it’s a song that could be took many different ways, so if anyone thinks I’m not right or that could be intepreted better, please tell me!
English isn’t my first language and I made this in a rush, so please tell me if I’ve made any typo! I want to make clear too that it’s difficult to try and guess the meaning of a song without any connotation, so maybe I’ve guessed them all wrong but I’ve used external help too (Genius is an amazing web to find lyrics of songs and what they mean and it’s been really useful)
#carry on#carry on sequel#rainbow rowell#simon snow#baz pitch#agatha wellbelove#analysis#i'm obsessed i know#playlist#work in progress playlist#i'll try to post part two tomorrow#but maybe i finish it on thursday#it took long that i thought

Respect + Flowers: A Black Feminism Project
In the last semester of my college career I took a class which focused on the representation of Women and Feminism in Pop Culture. Although the teacher did a phenomenal job at teaching us about the presence of women in media, literature and art she failed to call attention to the many efforts made by Black women in these same mediums. Intentional or not this sort of erasure of Black Feminist impact reflects the devaluation of Black womens political and social activism all throughout American history. Our final project instructed us to create a zine which critically and articulately discusses a theme related to pop culture and feminism. I used the aforementioned observation to motivate the construction of my zine. Below I’ve included my project followed by a description of my process and the many components of each page in the project.
Since the conception of this very nation, African American women have been very instrumental in many social, political, economic, and medical advancements made in this country. However, both in the past and presently, Black women are one of the most disrespected and overlooked minorities in this country. My zine focuses on recognizing the contributions that Black women have made to feminism and society overall. When organizing my thoughts for my zine I tried to focus on some of my favorite music artists (i.e. Beyonce, Nina Simone, Billie Holliday), Black feminist activist (i.e. bell hooks, Angela Davis, Octavia St.Laurent), artists (i.e. Betye Saar and Simone Leigh) and other icons to capture the breadth of talent that lies within us. When it came to the layout of each page I used different prints, fabrics, and colors to replicate the dynamism that Black women embody, regardless of the restrictive stereotypes society tries to cuckold us into. Lastly, each page has a text excerpt meant to summarize the various contributions that the featured Black female legends have produced. Whether it was the sexual liberation found in Black sex workers and music artist or the profound narratives presented in the creations of Black scholars and artmakers, I figured I use this zine to pay my respects to them and give them their flowers.
I had a difficult time figuring out how to "bind" these pages together ,being that this a digital zine, so I made sure that a song was featured on every page. I also tried to creatively bind it together by having the title page look like the opening screen of an Apple Music playlist and the last page of the zine a tracklist of the playlist, both of which were layed over the same background for some sort of continuity (it was sort of a play on a CD cover, but digitally).
*I do not own any of the images used to compose these collages*
The first two pages are dedicated Black women’s sexuality. It takes a lot of unpacking to do to fully understand the sexist and racist conceptualizations of Black sexuality which are undergirded by socio-historical occurrences. These understandings support disproportionate sexual assault cases amongst Black women and girls, the deviation of Black sex workers as opposed to white sex workers, and the overall deviation of Black women's sexuality. When it comes to popular culture there is a limited understanding of our sexuality. However there are many actresses, directors, and singers that used their platforms to reconstruct these understandings. Pages 2, 3 and 4 highlight two artists that have created sexually dynamic personas in popular culture.
Page 1, Pink Matter: The Dedication, features a collage of Black female exotic dancers which symbolizes one end of the spectrum of sexuality. Often times these images can be construed to support the deviance of Black female sexuality. I repurposed these images to illustrate an empowerment of the women I made this zine for, as stated in the blurb:
.... black women aren't allowed to express their natural desires for sexual pleasure without being considered a whore, deny sexual advancements without being considered a prude or express being the victims of sexual misconduct without being accused of "wanting it". This zine is dedicated to the ones that do.
This collage is set over a yellow to purple gradient to symbolize the depths and breadth of Black female sexuality. I selected Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter" as the first song because it discusses the importance of the female body to reproduction and most of all sexual pleasure.
Donna Summer's feature is set in a dreamy blue night sky to signify the psychedelic and illusory tones of her music. This is one of the more simplistic designs as I wanted the viewer to pay attention to the blurb and the song itself.
Page 3 features an excerpt from an album review I wrote for Solange's When I Get Home. In the review I discussed how Solange uses this album to repurpose Black female sexuality through the production of the songs and the visual album itself. Capturing the artistry of Solange in one page is a difficult task because she embodies so many facets. This motivated my usage of different textures and patterns as the background for her feature. The song selection, We Deal With the Freakn', speaks to the same theme that was brought up in the first two songs. Captured over a futuristic musical sequence, feminist Alexyss K. Taylor discusses the strength of female sexuality. It illuminates the importance of Black female sexual agency its and dynamic power.
Page 4, also known as "Do I Move You", is dedicated to the efforts of queer feminist activists. It features a pamphlet written by the Combahee River Collective (1974-1980) which is a Black lesbian feminist movement located in Boston that focuses on the intersections of the Civil Rights Movement and the Feminist Movement. This particular pamphlet was issued to educate readers on the disproportionate occurrences of voilence experienced by Black women. In the bottom left corner is a picture of queer women at a rally for the Black Feminist Movement; the top right corner is a portrait of Transgender activist and model Octavia St.Laurent; the bottom right corner features a poem by lesbian scholar, poet and activist Audre Lorde. And What is a feminist playlist without the works of Nina Simone? I selected her song, Do I Move You, because of is double edged meaning. At first glance the song can be processed as a ballad to man that Nina is romantically interested in. However, I interpret the song to represent the voices of the women like Audre Lorde, Octava St.Laurent and the members of the Combahee River Collective. Their sexuality, gender and race have contributed to their degradation and overall dismissal of their efforts by the greater society but their collective efforts of these women are what pioneered changes for Black women in the workplace, music indutry, art world, academia and politics. The butterfly is attached to the photograph of Nina Simone’s song to signify the evolution brought on by Black feminist activists.
Page 5, titled: You let me down, is an ode to the female academics who dedicated their research, literature, lectures and activism to criticquing the cultural and political landscape which perpetuates the devaluation of Black women. All of the Black female writers who are depicted , Audre Lorde, Angela Davis and belle hooks, have critiqued the very system which fails to protect the lives and intregty of Black women since its conception. Their many efforts had the power to ignite a revolution that encouraged equality across gender and racial boundaries. However, they were let down.
The final page, Don't Hurt Yourself, is a call to action featuring the Black female artists who use their mediums of choice to illustrate the narratives of Black femininity. I used an excerpt from the Brooklyn Museum's Black Radical Women's Exhibition to capture the purpose of these women's artwork. I selected the Beyoncé’s Don’t Hurt Yourself for this page specifically because the lyrics and rock and roll feel of the song represents a radical protest against the subordination to women in marriages. Throughout the song Beyonce explains the power women hold in their sexuality and ability to reproduce which renders women everything but subordinate to men. Both the song and the featured artworks atest to Black women contesting patriarchy, misogyny and other forms of systematic oppression. I selected the plants and floral background to signify the birth of a new wave of feminism.

Eric Nam in Concert: St. Paul, Minnesota
Pre-Concert
Both my friend LisNuna and I were thrilled to see Eric Nam touring and it was even better to see that he was coming somewhere remotely close to us. LisNuna and I are from Winnipeg, Manitoba which if you don’t know is right smack dab in the middle of Canada. Which ultimately means we don’t get a lot of action on the Kpop front… if any at all! (LisaNuna: Yeah, like absolutely zero lol) In most cases the closest stops are either Chicago or Toronto which both require some time off as well as plane ticket, and hotel. This time however, we found that Eric Nam was playing at a theatre in St. Paul which was only a 6 hours drive away! (Some might think this is far but if you have the right playlist, good company and some great podcasts the time flies!) When planning this trip my fiancé ended up jumping on board as we love shopping (and eating) in Minneapolis. I managed to encourage him to join since he’s a Korean-Canadian and I thought that he would find it worthwhile to support an Asian North American. To give you some context my fiancé isn’t exactly into Kpop but outside of the genre we share similar music taste so I thought this wasn’t far from what he liked.
We kicked off our trip in Minneapolis the first night with K-BBQ at Hoban (This is pretty much why my fiancé and I love coming back so much). (If you’re in or around Minneapolis be sure to check it out! https://hobankoreanbbq.com/ ) The next day was filled with shopping before we arrived at the Palace Theatre -- we were pleasantly surprised by the large line-up. LisNuna: The general admission tickets were for the floor and standing only. So if you wanted anywhere close to the stage you would have had to be there early. Checking out some of the IG posts after the show, I really admire those fans that stood in line right from early morning to get in a good position. Dedication, thy name is NamNation.
During the Concert
Even though we were on the balcony the seats were great, far more intimate than other Kpop concerts we’ve been to due to the venue. It was fun to watch people in the first half, the crowd was in general young but it was nice to see our section had a mix of ages and genders. LisNuna: Exactly! It was pretty diverse. Todoke speculated before the show that the one combo we probably wouldn’t see would be a group of male fans coming by themselves. But low and behold, in our section alone I saw 2 different groups of guys attending together. More bro-night-out’s should include kpop. The world would be a happier place, for real.
The most amusing part was a Dad who came with his Daughter that sat behind us. He was enthusiastic about the experience and was quick to talk with others about what concerts they’ve been to and which his Daughter is planning to see next. The whole time I’m sure the poor girl was hoping her Dad would just shut up, but it was incredibly endearing! The opening act was Frenship who I had actually listened to before and they didn’t disappoint. They did some stripped down songs and were easy to please the crowd. I think if people weren’t aware of them before their performance they certainly were now! Check out my favourite song by them Capsize:
youtube
By the time Eric Nam came out the crowd was ready and going wild. It was a different feeling from the other concerts I’ve been to since it wasn’t so much about the video screens and special effects but there was something more genuine and raw about it. Most of the show Eric was either on stage performing with just his mic or a handful of backup dancers and to keep a crowd thoroughly entertained with just that is a feat in my books!

I think this concert had a little something for everyone, even the people who were there for others like significant others and parents. (Eric even made a crack at the fact he knew there were people like this in the audience). If anything I would say Eric is a showman from his singing, to his dancing and of course his banter. I know by the time the concert was through my fiancé had turned a fan and was surprised at how much he enjoyed it. (Even the Dad behind us was cheering and exclaiming how good he was throughout the night!)
Eric sang almost every one of my favourite tracks (only a few oldies excluded) and it was amazing to hear him change it up a little bit proving how good he is live. LisNuna: Our throats were just gone by the end of the show lol. We pretty much sang every lyric to every song. There also may or may not have been an attempt at the “Can’t Help Myself” hola hand dance choreo. It warmed my heart when he thanked the crowd for making a difference by attending a concert like his. I truly hope attending shows like this do make a difference because artists like Eric Nam are so deserving of success in their home country as well as others. I think my two favourite songs of the night were Love Die Young (my favourite from his most recent album) and Don’t Call Me which was such a bop live. (Pretty sure it’s also my fiancé’s new favourite song).

Post Concert
The next day the three of us were off back home and it put a smile on our faces when my Fiancé asked us to listen to Eric Nam on the way home. He couldn’t stop talking about how impressed he was and that it was one of the best concerts he’d seen. That in itself felt like a win to me and hopefully he’ll consider going to another Kpop concert with me in the future! (LisNuna: We’re officially Kpop missionaries!) If Eric Nam ever returns I know I’ll be more than willing to see him again and I hope his fan base grows so he can get even bigger venues (even though I adored the intimacy of this show). I think he’s only solidified bigger fans in Lisa and I! (LisNuna: 100% agreed!) Has anyone else checked out his tour? Tell me about it below!

Music for Radfems
A lot of people enjoyed the resource post I did on radical feminist literature, so I thought I would come back and do a second resource list, but this time for radfem music! Not all of these songs are specifically radical feminist, but I deliberately exclude artists that like to “reclaim slurs” or sing about how sexy they are or how they’re empowered because they’re different from other girls. I also stay away from the YAS, QUEEN/slay/goddess type music about how women are so amazing because they’re beautiful and glamorous. Also, some of the artists on this list are not people who identify themselves or their music as explicitly feminist, but I find feminist threads in how they make music and in their lyrics, in particular. This list is not exhaustive or necessarily as diverse as it should be; it’s just composed of some artists and songs that I personally have enjoyed.
Just some background info: I absolutely love making playlists (of all types) and I’ve made a number of playlists with feminist themes but this list is not a playlist, but more of a directory. If you end up discovering any songs or artist you love from this list, please let me know and share your own radfem playlists.
P.S. Bikini Kill is left out because everyone already knows Bikini Kill.
Artists
Ani Difranco
Ani has made a ton of powerful music with explicitly feminist themes, as well as devoting her life to activism . Also, she STARTED HER FUCKING RECORD LABEL AT THE AGE OF 18, LIKE IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT “INDIE” MUSIC, THIS IS IT. Her music is also really beautiful, just in terms of unexpected rhythms and guitar riffs and yeah, I just love her. You’ve probably heard of “32 Flavours” but seriously, go beyond and explore her gigantic catalogue.
Teaser : And Lucille, your voice still sounds in me/Yeah mine was a relatively easy tragedy/The profile of our country looks a little less hard-nosed/But you know that picket line persisted and that clinic's since been closed
(”Lost Woman Song,” from Ani DiFranco, 1990.)
Bratmobile
I can’t possibly list every riot grrl-era punk band as this list would simply become copy-pasta from Wikipedia. However, I do feel the need to recommend Bratmobile, a quintessential riot grrrl band, because their lyrics explicitly reject liberal pablum and demand something more substantial not only from men, but from other women as well. They’re a good band to listen to when you’re feeling exasperated at how many women will expend so much effort defending their Nigels and making excuses for men.
Teaser: What do you mean against the feminine form/It’s girls like you who are always torn/Between salvation and one of the boy toys/Give them what they want, but I want more
(”What’s Wrong With You?” from Girls Get Busy, 2002.)
Dory Previn
Dory is a lesser-known folk artist, similar in style to Joni Mitchell. After her husband Andre Previn left her for Mia Farrell in the 1970s, she turned her attention from writing music for movies to writing incisive, deeply personal music. Sometimes she sings more explicitly feminist lyrics, (see “When A Man Wants A Woman,” for example) but what I find really powerful in her lyrics is in the ways she subtly highlights the unequal power dynamics between heterosexual men and women in the context of “loving” relationships. She’s also a good artist to listen to if you are interested in how aging and older women are treated in our society. Finally, she’s super sly at taking digs at “sexually liberated” left-wing dudebros of the ‘70s.
Teaser:
Whatever you give me I'll take as it comes/Discarding self-pity I'll manage with crumbs/I'll settle for moments, I won't ask for life/I'll not expect labels like lover, or wife
(”Lemon-Haired Ladies, from Mythical Kings and Iguanas,1971.)
Joan Baez
Joan Baez doesn’t consider herself a feminist per se, but she’s been an activist on the front lines of progressive politics for over 50 years. Aside from women’s rights, she sings about labour rights, civil rights, and anti-war activism. While Baez is most famous for her covers of classic folk songs, she has also written a lot of her own music, which is super underrated. “Diamonds and Rust,” which is quoted below, is kind of her fuck-you song about Bob Dylan.
Teaser: And there you stayed /Temporarily lost at sea /The Madonna was yours for free /Yes the girl on the half-shell/Would keep you unharmed
(”Diamonds and Rust” from Diamonds & Rust, 1975)
Le Tigre
Le Tigre is fronted by Kathleen Hanna, the most famous face of the Riot Grrrl scene, but also includes JD Samson a visibly gender-nonconforming lesbian artist who unabashedly identifies as lesbian and female. Le Tigre’s music is some of the most explicitly, directly feminist, and while I wouldn’t necessarily say that the band as a whole allies itself with radical (rather than queer) feminism, they’re still feminists. The music itself is electro-pop, VERY early 2000s sounding computerized instrumentals but somehow super catchy and polished anyway.
Teaser:
Carol Rama and Eleanor Antin/Yoko Ono and Carolee Schneeman/You're getting old, that's what they'll say, but/Don't give a damn I'm listening anyway
(”Hot Topic,” from Le Tigre, 1999.)
Sleater-Kinney
Probably every punk fan follower I have is already of a fan of them, but in case you don’t know, Sleater-Kinney is an all-female punk rock band that formed in the mid 1990s a little bit after the height of the riot grrrl movement. They were inspired by the earlier riot grrrl bands, but (in my opinion) their music has grown more sophisticated and rich melodically and lyrically than most of the Bikini Kill/Babes in Toyland stuff you would associate with riot grrrl. The two lead singers, Carrie Brownstein and Corinne Tucker are bisexual (I don’t know about the drummer, Janet Weiss) and briefly dated, continuing to perform side by side during and after their breakup. (The song “One More Hour" is a really searing, painful song that they wrote together about the dissolution of their own relationship.) Anyways, they have a really unique sound that’s a result of both Brownstein and Tucker playing lead guitar and lead vocals, with no bass or rhythm guitar. Rather than harmonizing, they sing overlapping lyrics in a really dissonant way and basically, if you love punk rock like I do, you MUST listen to them right now.
Teaser: Find me out/I'm not just made of parts/Oh you can break right through/This box you put me into
(”Heart Factory” from Dig Me Out,1997.)
Songs
“You Don’t Own Me” by Lesley Gore (Lesley Gore Sings of Mixed-Up Hearts, 1963)
Pretty much the classic oldies proto-feminist song. You’ve probably already heard and love it. Years later, Lesley came out as a lesbian. We love her.
Teaser: You don't own me/I'm not just one of your many toys/You don't own me/Don't say I can't go with other boys
“In Your Shoes” by Sarah McLachlan (Shine On, 2014.)
I saw her perform this song live, and she explained that it was inspired by and dedicated to (in her words) “the most badass teenager in the world,” Malala Yousafzai. The song does not reference Yousafzai directly, but it is very explicit in addressing young women (not men.)
Teaser: Say what’s on your mind with pride/‘Cause you are your own woman
“Stupid Girls” by P!nk (I’m Not Dead, 2006.)
This song came out when I was in middle school, which was shortly after the absolute peak (around 2004/2005) of “stupid girl” culture, when Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and their ilk were still really popular. (I do love Britney though.) This song really touched me and it felt like such a breath of fresh air to see a female pop star at that time who was also bothered by the way porn culture had created only one infantilizing and sexualized path to female stardom. Later on, I started to feel bad about liking "Stupid Girls” as liberal feminism made me feel guilty because, y’know, some women like being porn stars and getting plastic surgery and fake tans. Anyways, fuck that and this song is super amazing, especially when you’re a 12-year-old proto radfem in the year 2006.

{ haley lu richardson ♔ twenty-three ♔ she/her } well, well, well if it isn’t rowan foster running around peach hollow. legend has it, she comes from tangerine towers and has lived here her entire life. if you’re wondering what she’s been up to, i hear she’s a make up artist / freelance musician for a living. she has been known to be impulsive yet insightful. a word of advice to her, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching.
why yes, it is i, admin kim, with another character that should’ve been kept in the drafts of my mind. if you’ve not met daysia or serenity, here’s a lil low down on me. i’m 26, i use she/her pronouns, and live on the east coast. i thrive on writing angst and my animal crossing villagers being happy. also caffeine. i luv chris klemens. most likely to have a mental breakdown on twitter. meet rowan! trigger warnings for mental illness, bipolar disorder specifically, and inpatient treatment
have a playlist and a pinterest board dedicated to her
rowan celeste foster was born may 27th, 1996. she’s the oldest of two, a baby sister coming to the scene in 1999.
her family is extremely close. they’ve been in peach hollow their whole lives. she grew up in a crowded house on blueberry boulevard, crammed in with her mother, father, sister, maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather. rowan never knew peace or privacy growing up – it just wasn’t possible with that many people which has really contributed to her somewhat isolated adulthood
her mother is a charge nurse at peach hollow general, working on the emergency room floor. her father is a retired car salesman. her grandparents moved into the house when her sister was born in order to help take care of the girls while their parents worked full time. rowan is especially grateful for their care, because she feels like she’d be a little more sour had she been raised by absent parents.
growing up, she shared a room with her younger sister. they told each other everything because they had no choice not to. they both developed an interest in make up and music at very young ages, but rowan particularly took to those things while maci took more interest in sports. when rowan was gifted her first ukulele at age 6, maci got her first basketball. they are polar opposites, but maci was the only person rowan really confided in as a child and an adolescent.
she’d always been rather moody. tantrums and fits were nearly unavoidable. her self esteem lacked before she even had a chance to develop any confidence. she was always the try hard, the girl who stood out because she was just a little different, the emotional one, the one the other kids didn’t want to mess with, not because she’d fight back, but because she would absolutely lose it. there were countless times where rowan ended up in the guidance counselor’s office, waiting on her grandmother to show up and bring her home. that was the beginning of their problems.
her mental health really started to decline in her mid teenage years. she spent hours upon hours in her room, writing songs, playing guitar, practicing make up looks – she’d go days without sleeping and snap at anyone who crossed her path. she got into screaming matches with everyone in the house, only to find herself crying in her bed for the next few days. she started missing days at a time from school, while her artistry thrive, the rest of her crumbled. her grades, all of it.
eventually, this resulted in her parents yanking her out of peach hollow high and putting her in counseling, which lead her to a psychiatrist and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder at the age of 17. while it made sense, she dreaded taking the medications. they numbed everything. her writing suffered, and while her moods weren’t swinging from the trees anymore, she feared that this empty feeling was worse.
she finished her high school diploma in homeschooling with her grandmother while maci went on to thrive in school. the attention shifted to her, and rowan couldn’t really blame them. she turned 18 and started performing in clubs, bars, and anywhere she could get in. ps her voice is a mix of bishop briggs & mary lambert. the thrill of performing to small crowds sucked her in. she began to gain an even smaller following on social media, mainly the locals following her. every once in a while she’ll book a show in atlanta and she’ll make the long drive just to sing in front of a bit of a larger crowd. she’ll gain a few followers from those shows, but this still isn’t her main source of income.
most of her money comes from the make up artistry she does through pop of peach. she doesn’t go in every day, but when someone has an event scheduled or needs their make up done for a dance or something, she’s there. she tries to spread things out bc she’s always late lmao and finds it hard to stick to a schedule
she was doing so well for a few years, even moved out of her parents’ house and into an apartment at the towers. that’s where she really found herself, made some real friends and built relationships that were good for her. however, she missed a few doctor’s appointments and was discharged from her psychiatrist’s office. she went off meds, and for a few weeks it was fine. when she ran out of meds, the next few weeks were okay as well. it was when every single drop of medication had drained from her body that things got bad.
rowan was missing appointments she scheduled at pop of peach. she was spending far too much time out at nights, giving in to alcohol for the most part. she tried not to touch any drugs, but drinking became a nightly thing. she’d perform, then spend the rest of the night partying with whoever she could find at the venue.
one night in atlanta after a particularly shaky performance, rowan found herself in a dark place and simply went into the women’s bathroom to calm down, but police say they found her laying flat on the ground, refusing to respond to anyone. she vaguely remembers the end of the manic episode, but it did land her in the emergency room for a change in mental status.
much to her chagrin, they admitted her overnight before transporting her to skyland trail, a mental health facility in atlanta. she spend about two and a half months there getting medications regulated and learning new coping mechanisms. she was discharged about two weeks ago and finally made it back to peach hollow and her apartment.
she’d lead everyone other than her family and maybe one or two other people that she was away on a musician’s retreat, but really, was in inpatient treatment.
she’s currently working full time as a make up artist at pop of peach and performing when she can, but doesn’t really go outside of peach hollow
fun facts & personality
rowan despises small talk. conversations about the weather or political climate don’t stimulate her and she gets snarky pretty easily. it isn’t that she wants to come off rude or unapproachable, but nine times out of ten, small talk is fake and she feels as though she doesn’t have the time or energy to indulge in it. ask her about the sky or some shit. she won’t shut up
she has a tendency to overshare, aside from what’s been going on in the past few months. her lips are sealed tight about that. however, she’s open to talking about her mental health and is a big advocate for erasing the stigma. this makes rowan a very good listener and a huge supportive presence for anyone struggling. she’s the mom friend, and no matter what time of day or night, if someone says they need an ear, she’ll go to them. she knows what it’s like to be alone.
despite her past and her demons, rowan finds a way to put on a smile. it might often be snarky or sarcastic, but rarely is it insincere. she’s an empath and feels everything so very deeply, but can easily put it away when necessarily.
her apartment is her safe haven. she rarely has company. it isn’t really her thing. she prefers to go to other people’s places. she has her record collection proudly displayed on her living room wall, all the plants you can imagine, incense burning whenever she’s home, and a scottish fold munchkin cat named loonette after her favorite childhood tv show, the big comfy couch. she has hopes to get another cat named molly to match. you know, because we’re all clowns !
she takes great pride in her instagram. it sounds superficial, but often times, rowan will post a good picture and then link to her next show in hopes that somebody will come based on that. while she does have a passion for make up and a second instagram for it, ultimately, she’d like for there to come a time where she can live solely on the money she makes through music
catch her driving her old ass ford focus blaring 00s alternative, mainly fuckin paramore bc she’s heart eyes for hayley williams
wanted connections if ya made it this far!!!!
childhood friends – those who she’s known since elementary school. they’ve most likely watched her go through her many trials and tribulations in class. these could be acquaintances, close friends, or even a ride or die or two.
bullies – people who fucked with her through school. it’s essential that they’re on bad terms currently, but perhaps an enemy turned friend or romantic could be fun??
group therapy pal – this would be super fun and might entail the person finding out about her secret…. msg me for deets
exes – there will be a couple of these, gender does not matter. i’d like to find one that she was dating when she went into treatment and maybe hasn’t seen/spoken to them since they’ve been back, first love, high school sweetheart?? omg possibilities are endless
flirtationship – self explanatory, gender doesn’t matter she’s pan
any other ideas literally lmk!! thanks for reading ♥
