That Girl In Front Of Me! V2

📢 | What its like having the second years sitting behind you and how you became their friend!

Heavily based from a tiktok video by @erikadayshawn!

Jjk second years x Fem!Reader ( can be seen platonic or romantic ) Reader is heavily implied quiet & very feminine!

˚·˚ Panda ｡˚

🎧 | Ahaaa, he'd give the most weirdest first impression out of you. Simply just his appearance says it all.

🎧 | Once you found out he can actually speak the human language, everything seemed possible now. It was so bizarre.

🎧 | When you were instructed to sit in front of him, you were very awkward since you didn't know what to do or say.

🎧 | One time in class, you can literally hear his chair and his table scraping against the wooden floors, you can tell it was inching to you.

🎧 | "Hey, hey, sorry to bother, but uh.. I sorta smell, y'know, rice krispies in your back and I was wondering if I could have some?" He randomly asked in a not-so subtle manner since the rest of the students were looking at you.

🎧 | "Huh?" You muttered back in total confusion. You blinked twice with a baffled expression because how did he managed to even smell that. "Oh yeah, sure. Just take it quietly.."

🎧 | You then did random movements with your pen then turned back at Gojo who was still teaching.

🎧 | Over all, a very chaotic classmate.

˚·˚ Zenin Maki ｡˚

🎧 | Definition of RBF I fear. Except she actually is pretty irritated

🎧 | You guys NEVER spoke as in EVER. It was more on your part since you were too scared to ask. It feels like you'll get beaten up if you even look at her

🎧 | But there was this one time where an unnamed classmate of yours started to bother you mid-lecture, constantly pressuring you to give you your notes even when you said you have NONE ( you in fact do, you just didn't like them )

🎧 | Maki was like watching from the back with an irritated expression and decided to speak up. "Do you wanna talk to them?" "No-" "Then speak up! She doesn't wanna talk to you, stop!" She exclaims while making that shooing hand gesture and scoffed.

🎧 | That interaction really baffled you because 1. that was the first time you spoke and 2. it actually worked..??

🎧 | "Thank y-" "No. Don't even. Stand up for yourself, that's just embarrassing."

🎧 | But after that, you heard from Panda that Maki has been keeping an eye on you for a long time because people wanted to mess with you

🎧 | You both became friends eventually due to Panda and you both would bond by training!!

˚·˚ Okkotsu Yuta ｡˚

🎧 | Not only is he very approachable, but he's very kind as well. Probably one of the first people you've became friends with.

🎧 | The first time you met him and you were instructed to sit in front of him, he literally PULLED the chair out for you with a smile.

🎧 | "Hello! I hope you're doing well." He would greet with a respectful bow and the lecture just started

🎧 | fast forward, a few weeks passed. You both were acquaintances, not close, but definitely improving.

🎧 | One day you didn't have notes, he was quick to offer you his and quickly handed you his notebook.

🎧 | Another day, he gave you a paper flower as a gift. A 'just because' gift with the words: "I thought you'd like it. The whole.. paper flower was my personal preference since they don't die. I hope you like it!"

🎧 | Then after that you'd get random trinkets from Yuta. Safe to safe, he's definitely fond of you.

˚·˚ Inumaki Toge ｡˚

🎧 | It wasn't like he was mean, he honestly just had that mysterious aura that gave you the creeps..

🎧 | The few days you sat in front of him, he never really spoke to you and vice versa. You thought he appreciates his peace so you just don't say anything.

🎧 | One day though you were doodling mindlessly because you were bored out of your mind and you felt a tap on your shoulder. When you looked back, Toge gave you a short wave and pointed at your doodle.

🎧 | "Oh my drawing?" "Tuna." "Oh, you like it..?" "Salmon, salmon."

🎧 | Though you couldn't understand him, his nod and thumbs up makes his message clear. You gave him a soft chuckle of relief when you understood him and thanked him.

🎧 | At break, you were about to leave until Toge handed you something and what do you know, he gave you a doodle of a little kitty with the note "hope we can be friends =)"

🎧 | Eventually, months passed you two became super closed due to your mutual quiet nature.

🎧 | Sometimes on your desk, you were even surprised with makeup products that you always use. When you texted Toge about it you always get a reply of: "Kugisaki said you use it"

🎧 | Confirmed a very sweet boy!!

CONCLUDED!

MASTERLIST

[viridianv0id]

Inspired by @un-named-child and gears post about the v-models getting the zoomies and oh boy I have thoughts about that you guys have no idea

I'll grab my tags and add them here when I get the chance

Edit here are those tags

But with the amount of movement options you have with V1 (slam storage, rocket riding, nukes and all the other things you can do thats too complicated for me to figure out) it will quite literally bounce off walls, if it's bored enough it'll probably find a way to get as high in the sky as possible with a single combination of moves (slam storage + core eject nuke + rocket ride? Possible it HAS tried that) and so if it's in zoomies it'll do all of that but twice as fast and more destructively. Let it loose in Lust since that place seems to be massive it'll destroy less things there (especially now that the corpse of king Minos is dead again that won't be in its way)

V2 is more about speed than big actions, if locked in a room they WILL run around in circles and bounce off walls - it will slide, jump and run around like a mad man

It will probably also be the type to chase ppl - their target is more often than not V1 if possible but any random husk/demon/machine will also do if V1 isn't available

Fortunately V2 doesn't know/can't do all the insane movement stuff V1 can, and therefore were safe from a V2 slam storage dive where they'll literally learn to fly - nothing more than a red blur

Mirage and Gabriel just get to. Deal with these two maniacs

So far setting V1 in a select few secret levels will mellow it out (methinks 1-S will bore it into calming down and the puzzles will occupy it at best, and 5-S is even easier to get it to chill out)

They're still working on figuring out how the hell to get V2 out of zoomies and so far it's just let them tire themselves out until they need a refuel and they'll stop then

[yuusishi]

Bro your writing is literally so cute and it makes me smile so hard man!!

I was wondering if I could request Floyd Ace and Malleus with an Edward Elric reader? (Basically really smart and comes from a non magic world where the powers used is alchemy also is really short for their age (149 cm) and hates when anyone calls them short reader also has a mechanical right arm and left leg)

Imagine Floyd just popping off the reader’s left leg and running away with it or sm and the reader chases after him at full speed with a makeshift leg they made using alchemy

. . . Alchemical Genius

pairings : Floyd Leech , Ace Trappola , Malleus Draconia x gn!Edward Elric!reader

genre : fluff

cws/tws : stealing of prosthetic limbs as a joke?? (<- non graphic descriptions)

a/n : sorry that Malleus’ part is like pretty short compared to the others I’m becoming like really sleepy as I’m finishing this

Floyd Leech !!

Finds your mechanical limbs so damn cool!! There isn’t much merfolk down in the Coral Sea that use prosthetics and he really only was properly introduced to them when he made it on land so he was fascinated with you like a science experiment.

But even if he finds your stuff cool…that won’t stop him from teasing you for your height…

I mean c’mon, he’s 6’1 (185cm) and you’re 4’8 (149cm), he can’t NOT take the opportunity.

Because of it, he tends to pick you up as if you were as light as a feather whenever you started getting annoyed at him. Either running around the hallway or just simply picking you up to spin you around (he holds your mechanical limbs while doing so though because he’s not entirely sure if they can just…fall off.)

But the rule is that only he can do that, only he can tease his Shrimpy like that >:( Anyone else will get squeezed hard with no hesitation.

Comes to you every time he’s too lazy to do alchemy homework and no matter how much you deny him you know you’ll end up giving him the answers, but when you're in the mood you'll just explain things to him (even when he understands it anyways) just to bore him enough to do the homework himself.

In the situation he just outright steals a mechanical limb from you...it could become quite the regular sight, Floyd running with a detached metal leg around the hallways while you blast yourself full speed at him to get it back using a temporary alchemy-made leg.

Ace Trappola !!

Thinks your mechanical limbs are cool v2. And you're good at alchemy? He def scored on friends in his first year.

Him scoring high on friends doesn't mean he scored high in alchemy though, with you not allowing him to copy your answers. And he learned not to bother you about it after the last time Professor Trein had to break him and you apart after he annoyed you a tad bit too much for the alchemy questions...

Honestly he doesn’t really have much to comment about your mechanical limbs like at all. He found them cool at first because “wow you have metal limbs” but after a while it’s just become as normal as biological limbs.

Especially since the most that can be seen is your hand and occasionally your ankle since the NRC uniforms are long sleeves, so they never drew too much attention in the first place.

Unbelievably jealous that you’re one of the top scorers in alchemy class since you were already very well-versed in alchemy from your studies and job in your old world. I mean, how does he even think of besting someone that was the youngest State Alchemist?!

He keeps up with whoever’s on the number one spot during exams since it’s ALWAYS either you, Riddle, or Azul.

You’re the shortest in the friend group and Ace teases about it from time to time but most of the time he just lowkey forgets about it, even when he literally has to look down to talk to you.

Malleus Draconia !!

Extreme height difference v2, this time it qualifies as a long distance relationship.

But also forgets about it, I mean he’s 6’5 and has had Lilia as his guardian for years, he doesn’t care for something as trivial as height differences.

The thing about you that makes him the most curious would be your prosthetics.

The people of Briar Valley heavily rely on magic, so even when there were veterans who’s limbs were cut off during the war they’d just use magic to do day-to-day things.

So having you, a human with replacement limbs, in front of him really piqued his curiosity. He’d ask a few questions and tried not to tread too far and possibly ask something too personal, but sometimes he’d do just that without meaning to.

It ticked you off, yeah, but you tried to understand where he’s coming from and cool down before telling him that you didn’t want to answer it (to which he’d be understanding of.)

He’d also be impressed that you became a State Alchemist back at your world at such a young age, he even pitied you slightly since you seemed to have such a bright future before getting plucked off to Twisted Wonderland.

Occasionally keeps up with whoever’s the top scorer during exams since you, Azul, and Riddle always seem to be competing with each other, this became even more apparent during housewarden meetings (whenever he got invited to it at least.)

[ultrakill-confessions]

its annoying being caught in a loop of actions since i dont really have anyone i talk to alot so im just cycling through things to do over and over. some days i am, quite literally mirage since im home alone all day and also just. alone in general with nothing interesting to do because all my stuff is at the other house since im moving. i tried reading but all my books have been read already, so i just write or watch a show but it gets boring. i feel like recently ive been caught in translation and static, not in a sad way, just a tired way. bored way. ughhh i cant wait to move so ill have things to do because god my options are slim. i dont even have my v2 plush to cuddle because its at the other house….. dreadful indeed…. -mirage anon

How I Got Into "Heartstopper".

Alright! "Heartstopper" won the vote for which story I should tell, so here it is!

It all started in the 6th grade. It was nearly the end of the school year, and my 7th grade friend was reading "Heartstopper" V1, and I just caught a peak of the pages. At the time, I just thought "Heartstopper" was about two gay guys. That's it. Nothing else. No mental health issues, no other friends, just the two gays and their families.

Then, in 7th/8th grade, I joined the LGBT club and everyone really liked "Heartstopper", but at the time, I almost wanted to avoid "Heartstopper" like the PLAGUE. I wasn't homophobic or anything and I was Bisexual/Ally at the time, but for absolutely no reason, I wanted NOTHING to do with "Heartstopper". This all changed by May 2024.

I was still in 8th grade, and of course I needed a book during LLC (Library Learning Commons) period to sit on the couches. I was looking for a book, and a small part of my mind decided "Eh, I'm gonna try Heartstopper" and I thought I was just gonna put the book down after a few pages and start drawing, using the book by my lap as an excuse to sit on the couches, but I ended up spending most of that block reading the entire "Heartstopper" V1 and LOVING it. I ended up renting V2 after that block, and I was in a huge "Heartstopper" phase for 3-4 months. I'm fully serious.

I literally went into "Heartstopper" knowing NOTHING. I didn't know that Charlie had anorexia. I didn't know Tori was depressed. I didn't know Nick would have mental illnesses of his own. And even though I saw half of the first episode of S2 in LGBT club once, V1 was the soul reason I started genuinely liking it. Guess you have to take your own pace to like something.

Anyways, that's how I got into Heartstopper. Boring story, but hey, at least you read something for the day! Have a good day, Beautiful People!! :33

[dramarising-replacement]

So is anyone else just gonna say it outright or does it have to be me? Well alright, here it goes:

The new dragon breed is literally just skydancers again. They look exactly the same- feathered wings, feathered tail, cat legs that end with lizard feet, heck they even have frilly ear-like crests on both side of the head. I betcha anything they'll even have similar poses with one reared up like a horse and one just standing/sitting there in a dopey boring pose.

Can't wait for the new breed to be skydancers v2 but worse because they can't dress up or breed with anything. Woo.... ugh.

[deep-space-lines]

ULTRAGIFT wishlist below the cut. you should join ultragift

1. Lancer and/or Vysehrad, my OCs. There's info and refs in the tag on my blog, as well as a playlist for vibes! (I apologize for the wall of text for this one I just have a lot of thoughts about them)

Doomed yuri <3 Vysehrad is an Earthmover with a cathedral on her back, left abandoned in a field when her power began to fail at the beginning of the New Peace. She's slowly dying, no longer able to move but drifting in and out of consciousness on the rare occasions that enough sunlight makes it through the clouds. Lancer, a much smaller war machine/scraphead, is sort of her bodyguard-wife. Imagine if you fell in gay love with a mosquito who has sworn to protect you in exchange for an endless supply of blood. They both die tragically because this is ultrakill we're talking about

Notes: Vysehrad is 400m high and Lancer is a little over 2 meters, but that does make it really hard to draw them together so feel free to disregard! The architecture doesn't have to match exactly or even be particularly detailed so long as it's recognizable as a Gothic cathedral in vibes; feel free to simplify or keep it sketchy/silhouette. Vysehrad hasn't been able to stand or raise her head since the end of the war. Neither of them have canonically been to Hell (Vysehrad is permanently stuck in a sometimes-snowy field of dead sunflowers) but don't let that stop you.

I'd love any art of them together, or separately. Would love to see Lancer committing acts of incredible violence or Vysehrad with some dead sunflowers or something, or maybe Vysehrad still active during the war, or whatever strikes your fancy- go ham, go violent, go lesbian, go silly

(I will not bore you with the essay I could write about their relationship and about how anything one could call 'love' between them stems from being mutually, inextricably dependent on each other. The way that both of them know all too well that the only reason Lancer is capable of something resembling caring is because their basic needs are being met, knowing that their ability to rise above animalistic brutality is temporary and they'll go back to the mindless bloody struggle for survival just like every other machine as soon as Vysehrad inevitably dies and takes their infinite fuel source away from them. About Lancer not being able to tell whether their caring for Vysehrad is for purely selfish reasons or not. About how Vysehrad, despite her capacity for destruction, is used to carrying an entire human city on her back and is profoundly lonely now that they're gone and needs to devote herself to someone to stave off the existential terror of impending nothingness, needs Lancer to make what's left of her life worth living because without them there's nothing for her to do but stare at the ground and wait to die, and AHEM ANYWAY)

2. Ceti, shameless self-insert OC and world's most ADHD machine. Maybe chillin' underwater in Wrath looking at fish or partying it up in bisexual lighting or absolutely covered in blood idk just have fun!!

3. Gabriel or literally any machine in a Czech kroj. Put those things in dresses!!!! Or goth outfits, that would also go hard.

4. Lesbians. IDC who. Mirage/V2? Mannequin/mindflayer? Swordsmachine/streetcleaner? Guttertank/gutterman? All of these, and more, can be lesbians. The sky's the limit

5. If all else fails I just think Earthmover is cool. And swordsmachine. And mindflayer. And V1. I <3 machines kickin' ass

[exeggcute]

your blog is cool and youre the only person on tumblr i really follow on tech stuff. is the transition to manifest v3 really worth all the hubbub?

first of all thank you! and second of all, lol. to be honest I haven't had a major eye on the v2 > v3 transition but you may be unsurprised to learn that I'm not taking hard sides here and am both slightly suspicious of the changeover and also less than convinced by some of the "this is the worst shit ever" blowback. not to suck google's dick either (unless any recruiters are reading this...?) (jk my least favorite person on r/technicalwriting works at google so unless you can guarantee that I will not come into contact with that man, it's gonna be a hard no) but to some extent I think this is one of those things where google, as the de facto governing entity for how internet browsers are designed[1] is, for better or worse, in the seat to steer the ship right now and inevitably has to make design choices that will shape the future of (how people will access) the web.[2]

[1] insert comment about firefox here but considering firefox is almost singlehandedly bankrolled by google it works out the same in the end. hence my perpetual dislike of the way-oversimplified "maverick underdog mozilla singlehandedly holding the line again google" narrative... go tell me where the money is coming from!!!

[2] also I know the W3C is the actual governing entity for internet protocol design and has influenced browser design on a more abstract level but that's still a degree of separation away and tbh I'm not super familiar with W3C drama. although I can only assume there's drama lol.

and google being google has both real and imagined interests in shaping the web by virtue of their other business ventures (e.g. but not exclusively e.g., advertising) and so I think some amount of blowback is gonna be inevitable when they propose Big Fundamental Changes. which, like, I'm the last person who's gonna say "no we should definitely drop our defenses and approach this without an ounce of skepticism" lol so I think the knee-jerk Uh Oh impulse is totally fair and maybe even warranted. but after the initial jerk I also think it's worth hearing shit out and, you know, on the face of it I can see why the changes outlined in the v3 manifest bring positive changes to the table. security and performance and shit. but security and performance are relatively boring selling points, and when google has earned a poor public reputation thanks to the other shit they've pulled I think it's understandable that even well-meaning changes will be met with general suspicion.

buuuut I still get irritated by the verging-on-clickbait headlines where literally every change about v3 is framed as "google is finally killing ad blockers" and then you read the article and ad blockers aren't mentioned directly a single time. like it'll literally just be about v3 lol. arguably I'm just being naive/willfully ignorant because of course it's all really about ad blockers since google is an advertising business and the other benefits are a smokescreen and blah blah blah but I do kinda feel like that borders on conspiratorial thinking, especially since ad blockers will work in v3, albeit differently, and google is actively working with/taking feedback from extension developers (including ad block extension developers). a lot of it genuinely just seems like "major version change will require significant technical work to implement, more at 11".

who knows though, I could eat my words :shrug:

kind of related but I was always kind of surprised by the amount of pushback against the web integrity API thing because I read the proposal behind it and it seemed pretty well-intentioned to me. granted there were some fair/serious concerns that even the proposal pointed out and a lot unanswered implementation details (and tbf it was a proposal/WIP) but I got Why they were proposing it, invalid traffic being the bogeyman it is. and like I am not a cryptography guy in the slightest but as I understand it the WEI was basically just an SSL certificate in reverse?

a lot of it makes me think about the web3 article from a few years back where a guy talked about designing an NFT that looked cool on various storefronts but looked like a poop emoji in your actual wallet after you bought it, which, in the process of trying to google it to link here, led me to this substack post where someone summarized it as "NFTs are centralized and no one cares." which is pretty much exactly what I was getting at (and why I thought about it in this context) with how even ostensibly open protocols can devolve into walled gardens built around those protocols with bonus features tacked on, if the protocols themselves don't offer those features out the gates (and enough people want them). idk. food for thought I guess. I really am just rambling here though so let me humble myself by reminding us all that I have a B.A. in english and love to speculate lolol. not an expert!

Trapped Towers Dev History ~ How We Got Here (Part 1)

(Middle art piece done by @/evilredyoshis)

Hey everybody !!

Today I'm going to be introducing another type of post I can end up doing - development history/update posts! These will likely be rarer than other types of posts (after this 3 parter anyway), purely because development on this project is just pretty slow due to my lack of ✨ focus ✨ and all that. However, there is definitely some old development stuff I can talk about! Plus, for those of you who are new - you get to learn more about this project that has been ongoing since early 2018!

So lets get into this, shall we? It's going to be a lengthy read.

February 2018 - August 2020 ~ The Beginning/Undertale AU Era:

February 2018 was a time, by this point I'd spent almost a year making music for my friends and very small audience in the Undertale community. One day, I was simply bored and had no ideas - so my sister told me "hey make an Alton Towers megalo"... how I hadn't done it yet shocked me, I'd been going since 2014 and loved the place dearly. However, with a laugh I agreed and got to work.

A few days into creation, I began theory crafting the basics for an Undertale AU. The first ever concept for what would eventually become Trapped Towers - explains a lot about the name and premise though huh. I eventually uploaded a song or two for the AU, including the megalo I did finish - "Ministry Of Death".

One person found and covered the megalo. Then another. And another. And soon enough the whole thing spiralled - I would consider it to this day my biggest impact on the Undertale Community, even if it was still relatively small and not long lived. Either way, it got me to take the project a little more seriously... but quickly it spiralled into development hell. I was only 14 after all, if you asked me what a leadership style was I probably would have no idea what you were on about or given a dumb answer.

Reboot after reboot was attempted. New server after new server. Eventually though, one server was made and kept. However, the project had already fallen into more obscurity and my motivation was low, so I moved to new things. Every so often a new Trapped Towers post would occur, mainly new Smiler content as that's what really brought in people. Things would stay like that for a bit unfortunately though...

Old Content:

How about some art and concepts from the time though huh? For an Undertale AU it was... something. Tom wasn't called Tom and was literally just called Frisk. The world layout was just Undertale and I just made stuff fit - The Beornen were almost located in X-Sector because of Wickerman being the Grillby replacement. Th13teen wouldn't have really even been in the story as she was Gaster. Half the characters didn't even have designs! People loved Smiler and Enterprise, and any serious work focused on the Ruins portion with Terra. They were still trapped because Nemesis was too dangerous to be let free, however Nemesis was also in a permenant sleep - only prophisised to reawaken. It wasn't an active threat.

(I don't entirely remember who made what here, so I'm sorry for no credits)

OLD SOUNDTRACK LINKS:

Trapped Towers V1 Soundtrack

Trapped Towers V2 Soundtrack

It's all quite funny to look back on. There's so many bits that clearly influenced the project as it is today. Many old designs haven't had drastic overhauls either, which is quite funny to think about... maybe I should get on some...

Anyway, with that brings the conclusion of part 1 of this 3 part blog series. The next two parts will come out day after day, with tomorrow being "August 2020 - June 2021" and Friday being "June 2021 - Present Day". Figured it'd be much easier for reading if I split them into a couple parts !! Also gives me a few extra days to consider what else I want to post haha.

Until then, cya ! - JustDaniel

july 1st, 2023

so i tried that slade’s shifting brew v2 subliminal that i’ve seen everyone raving out about it didn’t work. i literally didn’t feel ANYTHING and tbh i feel kinda scammed. but it’s whatever. i think i’ll just try to enter the void tonight. 

for a glimpse into my personal life, it has gone to complete and utter shit. i thought that i might be getting better and my cr was getting more managable but i was so SO wrong. this always happens. i don’t know why i keep trying to justify staying here. it’s literally the worst place i’ve ever been only i’ve been living her for 17 years already.

after living 17 years in my dr, i was the voice of a disney princess, finished a 4 year run on a highly successful television show, filmed a cult classic movie, and performed in 5 different ballet productions at the royal opera house. 

i am so not cut out for the life i’m living rn. but long ago, i saw someone say that if your cr is terrible, you should imagine it as a challenge. your old self decided they wanted a challenge and decided to respawn here. they got bored with their perfect life and you are their reincarnation to liven up their immortal existence. i really like that idea and think of it often. i think my past self overestimated her abilities tho.

[voddiesk]

Hehe muses on this meme (harder to place than expected)

[hard / not fun to rp]

All [outside of comfort zone] & with a Mean Streak that I'm neither witty enough, brave enough nor feel good to play...

Laverne: nerd, & the traits i chose off someone hurts to play🗿 His magica!AU self is easier in that he's still shonen dumbass there.

fox sisters 'Eiko' & Kyouka: coy & manipulative, which I Cannot

Rosie: I'm no pirate buff LOL. Accents & concision... tough.

[easy / not fun to rp]

Personalities I enjoy drawing in Slapstick Comics, but not to play. Growth is Slow (if any) & dependent on others.

Rainn: too woobie for me LOL

Ming: for literal slapstick jokes, shallow. Not my style anymore

Inis: a little boring to me with the history / personality I made! NPCish being more reactive than proactive... but working to give them Motivations and Curiosities to muse over.

[fun / easy to rp]

1 int oonga, self-explanatory. My brain just smashes red button lately

Roth: basically mingyue v2, but removing (gender) & (human) facets completely makes me happier lol.

Sir Horsie: 🤯

Eoghan: Easy to play & joke in vapid nonsense. Superficially one note, but has backstory to inform his Weirdness though I'd rather not show it / he's fairly well-adjusted. 🤔Just having the element to reference is nice, and being cheery amid angstier folk is fun.

bom!Haruka: Angst & Amnesia combo. Didn't want a 1:1 to rl grief, so had IC reasons to dull emotions and their loss. On the surface they're comically gap moe (easy to play) and most ocs wouldn't know them past that. But they had unconscious layers that informed their heart, perhaps in... unfortunate ways. (Fun)!

aa!Haruka: WIP, may need to change much of what I enjoyed in bom!version (alas).

[hard / fun to rp]

50% [chatty extroverts], 50% [moody introverts]...

· introverts' my preferred, but engaging others & trying not to leave All the legwork to them can be as tough as attempting to drive the rp-convo via an extroverted oc... (for i am Not) 🗿 · All have personality Contrasts that others may read only the superficial (as intended). But I too forget nuances as a result. LOL

Arietta & weedy: Both still 1-note atm as npc/neglected theatric extroverts. 'Voice' is likely too similar rn...

Stitches: I've trouble Being Mean so I backpedal like a COWARD. His inherent tsun & edginess makes me cringe even though that's the point. Easier to comic than rp.

Lilie (& Lewy): Passive Aggressive (cannot do that anymore). Reserved, pessimistic, but who also try to step out of their shells. Headspace takes a bit of warming...

· twins Leith & Liam: 1-int jokes that'll Press the Red Button & have Bad Opinions, but also gooey feelsy inside. I enjoy that they can act independent of others with their different strengths, while still falling under my mun need to hold hands w/ someone.🤡

· struggles with their Words (or lack thereof). Liam is too chatty, Leith takes much effort to convey. But still a fun struggle at the end of it all, as their relations with other peoples' ocs made them so.

I tend to make ocs that ignore or skim feelings, so twinnies being overly guided by emotions has been a fun (if embarrassing) change.

[fel1verse]

it's JANG HANBIN (장한빈), who is the KEYBOARDIST of TIDAL. i've heard whispers that the 26 (07/27/1998) year old is pretty PLAYFUL but lowkey LICENTIOUS. also, doesn't he remind you of KIM MINGYU?

((pages under construction))

SUMMARY

frankly speaking, growing up, hanbin is a bit of a delinquent. he never gets into any retroactively career-ending trouble, to be fair, but around every school he goes to for the better part of his childhood, teachers and students alike all know him by name.

and it's not that he's bad, not really. just. bored.

let his parents and counselors tell it and he's an academically gifted kid who was just terribly understimulated. so, they get him into sports. well, sports to start, and then he's in the school band picking up and mastering instruments like a modern savant, and then he's getting voted in as a treasurer for student counsel, and then he skips a grade. and, still, with his plate filled to the brim, jang hanbin finds a way. when he's caught sneaking into the house one night at fifteen, smelling of alcohol and looking entirely too debauched for his age, his parents, hands tied, send him off to boarding school in seoul, a fair trek from their home in busan and further-still from his bad influence friends.

but, well, hanbin is creative. and friendly. so it's only a matter of time before seoul feels like his home away from home. and, as luck would have it, hanbin's precociousness winds up being what kick starts his career. he's skipping school with a couple of friends when he stumbles upon an open audition at golden media entertainment. one of his friends, ever the comedian, jokes about hanbin having exactly the visuals of a k-pop idol and after a round of rock-paper-scissors, dares him to go in and audition, just to see. and, well.

when he calls back home to his parents with the results of this spontaneous endeavor, his father's immediate answer is "fuck no," but with some coaxing from his mother, it turns into a conditional "yes". the "stay out of trouble" goes unspoken, but is heavily implied. fortunately, the nature of training is brutal by design and for once, hanbin finds that he actually doesn't have the time to fuck around. mostly, anyway. where there's a will, there's a way, of course. though, most of his "fucking around" becomes a lot more literal with a new pool of equally pent-up and willing participants. he's sixteen when he signs his contract and seventeen when tidal debuts.

it takes a while for them to build traction, but when they do, it feels like riding the most devious high. he's a variety show darling, a model for more brands than he can really count, and a fucking rockstar. technically, anyway.

it gets a lot easier to chase that bored feeling away.

Bad at Love-E.M x f!reader

Y/n and Eddie are far from perfect but they always find a way to make it work. Or at least she thought. After a petty argument over what movie they should watch, y/n goes to apologize to eddie. Only to find out he already had company.

Warnings! Mentions of drug and illegal activities! Mdni 18+

Pairing- Eddie x female reader (she/her)

I didn't post this yesterday because I worked all day then stayed up to watch V2 and then proceeded to cry the rest of the night, so my apologies for being late.

This is pt 1 out of maybe a 2 or 3 part series:) Hope yall enjoy! <3

_________

"Robin I can't deal with what I just saw! I think its because I just can't, I can't fucking believe it! 

“What happened this time y/n?” her tone was flat, tired of anything and everything that had to do with your relationship. But it didn't stop you from sharing anyway. 

“Guess! Guess what happened!” you were pacing around her room. Yelling once more about your on and off boyfriend, and love of your life, Eddie munson. 

She was used to it by now, the fight picking you both did because neither of you felt good enough for the other for one reason or another. Maybe you would feel insecure when some chick would try flirting with him during your trips out of town together, or he would feel like you found someone at college. Regardless of what it was, or who was in the wrong you were never on the outs for long. And when you were, Robin would have to sit there and listen. Sometimes over the phone, but when you were in town, in the comfort of her room. 

She was laying comfortably in bed running ger glittery green fingertips down the back of her purring cat. A bored expression sitting her face. 

“You know what? Don't guess because, Jesus it's so unbelievable you won't be able to guess it.’ you took a deep breath trying to put the words together. 

“I was, I was going to Eddie's house, ya'know, like I told you I was going to. I started it this time, my turn to apologize. As im pulling up to his house, I see fucking,” the tears begin to swell in your eyes. “fucking Chrissy Cunningham!” 

She sat up mouth agape. “No way. No, Y/n tell me youre joking.” she walked across her bed on her knees. “No way, are you sure it was her?”  you nod your head scared you'd break into tears if you said another word.

“Maybe he was like selling her something? Or or or, god I don't know,” she started to bite on her lip looking for something to comfort you. 

“No he does his fucking drug dealing. anywhere but home Robin. Why else would they go to his trailer after the game?” you sat down at the edge of her bed. She moved herself next to you. 

“Maybe he forgot it?” she gave you a weak smile. You offered one back but your trembling lips couldn't hold it together for long.  A sob escaped them. 

You never thought it would ever end, Not really. You would yell and scream and swear it was over, but then you would both cool off. Everything would fall back into place and you would have the best make up sex imaginable. 

You thought there was nothing that could ever really keep the two of you apart for long. Especially if the fight was over something as dumb as what movie you were going to put on to pretend to watch but them ultimately end up catching up on all the sex you missed out on during college. 

“Its alright. It probably was just a drug thing. And doesn't she have a boyfriend? ” she tries to reassure you. 

“Everyone knows she's as clean as a whistle Robin, and... I had a boyfriend when we first started hanging out too, remember?” she hummed remembering. 

“Yeah well you guys are in love. He's literally stupid for you y/n! Thats part of why he's still in high school. You distracted the hell out of him last year, remember? It's a miracle you even graduated.” She wrapped her arm around your shoulder and pulled your tear stained face into her.

  You sniffled remembering the good times. When things were still fresh, all the angst and build up to him finally having the guts to make his first move. You were both such bad influences for each other when it came to school. You couldn't help it, and neither could he. As cheesy as it sounded, you couldn't stand being apart from each other. 

“I just, I'm really scared I finally pushed him over the edge. And God chrissy? She is easily the second prettiest girl in school.” Robin smiled, accepting that you were calling her the first. 

“He couldn't go for the first of course, That's my best friend.”

“That would be crossing a whole other line.” she laughed. “Look, why don't you just call him tomorrow? Talk things out when you're a little more calm…I mean really, what are the chances he and the top chear leader are hooking up right now?”

Your stomach churned at the idea. You imagined him laying her down in the same bed you were supposed to be laying on instead of the soaking chest of your best friend. A loud sob escaped again followed by more. 

“God I am not very good at this huh.” your best friend said sighing at her failure to make you feel better. She leaned you down on her bed, taking your shoes off that you were too distracted to take off earlier. 

Getting into bed she sat up against her headboard, and threw the blanket over the both of you. You scooted over to her and lay your head on her lap.She begins to caress your head letting you spill out your fears and worries, and the last of your tears till you ultimately fall asleep. 

_._._._

You wake up the next morning to the sight of Robin wiping last nights eyeliner off. 

“Morning.” she says groggly.

“Morning.” you smile. You would apologize for coming to her house and crying so hard you stayed the night, but you were so close all you had to offer was a thank you. 

After having a quick breakfast, you dropped her off in time for work. Nearing your house a knot began to grow in your chest. Three cop cars were pulled up in front of it. You were barely able to park. 

Exiting your car your mom comes out of the door screaming your name. 

“Jesus, Y/n honey! You're safe.” she engulfs you in a breath squeezing hug. 

“Why wouldn't I be mom?’ that was when you remembered that you hadn't called home to let her know you were going to stay at Robins. 

“I was at Robin's mom. You should have called hers instead of…” you looked around at the police officers. A mixture of relief and concern plastered on their faces.

“I'm home. You can all go now.” you rub your moms back slowly trying to pry her off of you. 

“Thats, that's not the only reason they're here hun.” she looked at you with sorry eyes. They led you inside to your living room. 

'Let's take a seat lovebug.' You sit down on your couch facing the officers across from you. 

When the words left their  mouth you didn't think you were hearing them correctly. You couldn't believe that the words had even come out of their mouths just then. 

“We found a student of Hawkens High, Chrissy Cunningham, dead in your boyfriends trailer.”

"And so what? You think Eddie did this?" You knew you probably sounded like a delusional girlfriend. That was exactly what all the signs made it look like that, but it was Eddie. Your Eddie, you couldn't help but get defensive. 

“We're not saying anything. But his uncle was at the plant all night. Can you tell us where you were again, Miss Henderson.”

“For christ's sake I told you guys once I got here! I was at Robins last night!”

“Your mother told us that you were going to spend the night with,”

“Yea well that didn't happen. If you're so concerned about where I was you can ask the Buckleys. I'm sure they heard my embarrassing crying last night.” you roll your eyes, holding on tighter to your mothers warm hand. 

“Why were you crying honey?"

“Was there an altercation with Mr. Munson? If that were the case did he try,” you held your palm out signaling them to stop. 

“Don't you even dare try finishing that sentence. Eddie wouldn’t hurt a fucking fly. I need you to leave my house.” you got up from the couch, dropping your mothers hand. You were trembling, with anger, fear, frustration, whatever it was it had taken over. "Get out of my fucking house!”  You were confused on so many different levels. But there was one thing you were completely sure of, Eddie didn't hurt her. 

You saw your brother peeking his head out of his room.You knew he was hearing everything from the other side of the wall, he wasn't dumb, and the walls were thin. Eddie meant a whole lot to him too and there was no way you were going to let them make such claims under your roof. 

“Get out!” you screamed at them one last time. The slim cop with a mustache jumped, and slowly backed his way to the door. The sheriff took a quick glance at your mother then back at you. He nodded at your mother. She walked them out. You could hear them talk behind the door. The sound of them pulling away from the house followed.

You sat back down on your couch with your face in your hands. This felt worse than any feeling you had felt the night before. You couldn't keep it together. The facade of the strong older sister, the role of the supportive daughter, it was slipping away, melting off with each tear. 

Your mom came back in and sat on the recliner aside from you. Dustin finally slipped out of his room.

“Y/n?" He walked over to you slowly. Maybe he was worried you'd snap on him too. Regardless he knelt down in front of you and placed his hand on your knee. 

“I don't know what happened last night. Or what your dumb fight was about, which was probably the reason you went to Robins house… Whatever it is..whatever happened. It's gonna be okay.” you leaned down onto him, holding him as tight as you could.

When you get up from the couch and give him another quick hug. 

“I'm going to take a quick shower then we’ll talk more okay?” 

Dusting nodded. There was a loud knock at the door. He walked over swiftly to answer it. Your face softened when you saw who it was. Max Mayfield. She greeted you all quickly, pulling Dustin into his room. She looked different. Sadder even. You didn't expect her to be the same after the death of her brother. But there wasn't a touch of paranoia in her eyes that was unsettling. 

“Hun, the police want you to go in for questioning. They also want to have you escorted till they find him.” your mom says pulling you from your thoughts. 

“What? I told them to screw off and they want to baby sit me now?”

“They just think he might come looking for you…honey I think it's better to be safe than sorry.” she was looking at the ground when she said this. You couldn't believe she would consider the thought of it being true. She knew him. He was always so great with her. And even with your constant bickering, she knew the both of you loved each other like no one else in the world. 

“ I don't think he did what they said he did, I really hope not.” she said, squeezing your hand. 

“Mom!”

“Im being honest here bug. I just, even if he didn't do anything, I don't think it's a good idea to be seen anywhere near him right now. Not till things cool down.” she caressed your cheek. You knew she was doing her best. But god was it annoying that she didn't believe in his innocence.

You showered till the water went cold. Leaving the warm safety of the running water would mean that it was all real. You took even longer to get ready. Just as you were about to leave for questioning you noticed your open window. You had sworn that you closed it before going to Eddies. 

You started to look around your room for anything that was out of place. The last place you checked was where you found what you were looking for. A sign of him.

You plop onto your bed. Your hands shake a single folded up piece of paper. Your name was written across the first fold. 

"y/n, I really wish i let you choose that movie. You're right, you're always right. The Breakfast Club is one of the best movies to ever exist."

You chuckle knowing he was just saying that to stop the fight. 

"You might start to hear some things about me. Maybe you already have. I just want you to know that whatever it is that they say, it isn't true. I know that you're able to see over everything else that they've ever said, but this is different. I wish I could tell you what happened but I don't even know what went on. Chrissy Cunningham, the cheerleader, slipped me a note after class. She wanted me to deal her something. I met with her after the game because she wanted something stronger than weed. I didn't want to carry that shit around with me. I'm not an idiot. So I drove her to my uncles so i could give it to her there. She was in the living room when I was looking for the stuff. When I came back with it, she was off, and then everything happened. I don't know how to explain it. I came here to tell you what happened, to apologize about the dumb fight. I wanted to see you one last time before whatever happens, happens. I'm scared but I'll be okay knowing you believe me. At least I hope you do. I'm going to where we had our first kiss.  

Love you so fucking much

Eddie"

You were relieved that he was safe. The place where you had shared your first kiss was the lake across from his dealers house. The guy was out of town and Eddie took advantage of that. You spent a day there. Turning the music up as loud as you could, smoking and drinking, making the dumbest jokes imaginable. By the end of the day, still high and a little drunk but definitely more sober than before, he pulled out the boat from the shed and you paddled to the very middle before realizing it had a motor. You were laughing so hard you were on the verge of rocking the boat. 

It was perfect the way the moment just presented itself. On the lake, both of you high enough to hear the water beneath and around you move with such a clarity, the reflection of the stars above you cascaded off the water, lighting up his pale skin, and showing you the lustful look in his eyes. 

“I want to kiss you” he had said to you. 

“So kiss me.” he smiled and leaned into you. His soft lips fit into yours like they were made for them. You'd never felt that before. The need or want to kiss someone the way you did him. With others it felt like something you had to do, up down, take a breath, touch their neck, maybe slip some tongue in. But with him, it was easy. No thought was necessary, you could kiss him all day if he'd let you. 

Your mind went back to how he said he couldn't explain what happened. The last time you had heard someone say that to you it had to do with the upside down. You hoped to god that it didn't have to do with it. You were so grateful he'd gone so long in the dark about what has been going on in Hawkins. This was the last thing he needed. 

If it wasn't official before. It was now, you were going to find him and help him prove his innocence.
