Mermaid!Jungkook x Reader [Part 3]

Trapped in this life of expensive wine and judgemental eyes Y/N met an unusual lady who offered her a job at an aquarium a few towns away. Despite being hesitant and uncertain for the future she decided to take the offer as it was her only way out, not knowing that many dangers might come her way.

Jungkook swam his way through the small tunnel in wonder. He didn’t realise what he was ‘walking’ into as he took the entire night to explore a tunnel. He thought it might lead to you, how naive. It is only when he heard the piercing sound of drilling from the small tunnel entrance did he know what was happening, he was trapped. With that, his instincts took over.

It was early in the morning when the sun started to creep its way into the room. You were sitting on your bed and surprisingly enough, you were already awake. You never used to be such an early bird, but throughout these past few nights, you would wake up drenched in sweat. No matter how hard you tried you couldn't stop thinking about the incident on the cliff. Upon sleeping, you could almost feel the arms of the creature wrapped around you, like its haunting touch has placed a permanent mark on you. When thinking about it more deeply, it felt human to you. The arms of a human, but its touch too deeply pressed on your skin: the coldness you felt, reached down to your bones. It was like death was clinging onto you, with you as its life source.

"Hey Y/N? You up?" You heard a whisper and you saw Julie poking her head through the door as she opened it slightly. You look over at her with a relaxed expression and a soft smile.

"Yeah, I'm already up. Did you want to go and get a coffee near the waterfront before dropping me off to work?" You stand up from your bed and start fixing the blankets and pillows.

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea, let me go get my bag and we can leave soon." She spoke as she left the room, closing the door but not all the way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking out onto the ocean, it felt calm today. Although the tranquillity that you felt while looking out onto the shore exhibited a chaotic kind of peace. The calm before the storm. You could feel it, the anger of the waves crashing down and the freeing nature of the water wanting to come out. But it held restraint, it couldn't do anything even if it tried. Something was missing but you didn't know what. All you knew was that the feeling you had felt when looking out towards the ocean, changed somehow. The calm waters seemed too good to be true.

You sat there at the coffee shop across from the beach near where you work. The smell of sea-salt and fish mixed with coffee seemed like a horrible combination, but the locals were used to it. You found comfort in the idea that you might get used to it too. The coffee that you held in your hands was hot against the cool air. You sipped your coffee while waiting for Julie to come back with her usual morning cravings of insatiable sweet pastries.

“So, tell me. Have you made any work friends? Any of them cute?” Julie sat down across from you, taking you away from your thoughts. You looked over at her and chuckled, rolling your eyes.

“I have made some friends, not many but hopefully that will change in time” You smiled slightly looking out at the ocean again, feeling yourself get distracted but not with anything in particular. "Well it’s your first day today so make sure to stay on your toes, but don't overwork yourself," Julie spoke while her mouth is full of sweet dough-like pastries, more focused on the icing coating the top of her lips, not realising that you have been spacing out this entire time.

Thankfully you're good at multi-tasking and you chuckle at her comment, "It’s funny, people keep forgetting that I have worked at an aquarium before you know? It's not that much of a big deal." You sip your coffee but immediately placed it back down on the table, it was too sweet.

You look at your watch, realising its time to go. Plus, you would rather be at work than trying to have a normal conversation with her, you know she's trying but she's not your caretaker or mother, she doesn't need to try so hard.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you walk through the entrance of the Aquarium you could immediately feel the difference in atmosphere from the other day. The busy environment that you knew so well back home at the aquarium suddenly felt familiar. The buzzing sounds of life engulfed the reception as many families and residents were chatting away while waiting in line. Kids nagging at their parents and young couples looking at each other lovingly while waiting in line. There were not many people though as it was early, and it wasn't officially open for another 30 minutes.

You walked past them towards the reception and saw Seokjin who looked busy talking to the people in line. He glanced over at you and he made an expression as if he remembered something.

"Ah Y/N, Jimin told me to tell you to wait for him at the food court at the bar. You'll be working with him today. Taehyung is meant to be here, but he called in sick". You nodded, silently chuckling to yourself as Taehyung probably just called in sick because he was "too busy" or had some "emergency". While in reality, he's probably watching a new season of a drama he recently got addicted to.

You head your way to the food court after you say goodbye to Seokjin. It seemed quiet in the food court but simultaneously busy as workers prepared for the day. You could see some workers running around in their little cafes or tourist shops as you walk towards the main bar. You could hear your heels hit the glassy floor, echoing as it bounced off the wall of the gigantic room.

The bar had no one in it. You suppose it didn't open till later in the day. It was weird to you, you have never seen an Aquarium that had a bar before. Mind you, you never really travelled anywhere so you wouldn't know if it's a common thing to have at Aquariums.

You sat on the stool, looking at the giant tank circling the entire food court, acting as a wall around the large room. You tried to look through it to see how far it went but all you could see was the light blue ocean that seemed almost endless. Some small school fish could also be seen swimming in the tank. It felt as though you were in the middle of the ocean. All alone.

In contrast to the light blue colour that is seen throughout the rest of the room, the small tank that was built into the wall behind the bar looked darker and overgrown. It was a very small square tank that resembled a small window. You could barely see through it, a thick layer of algae covering the glass, it looked so dark in there. Maybe it was connected to another section of the aquarium, perhaps it even descended underground?

You shivered and looked around the food court, were you being watched? You could feel the sudden nervousness tingling throughout your body.

It was a weird feeling that came upon you, an icy cold feeling of loneliness like the air had suddenly shifted. The voices of the other workers in the food court were drifting away and you were slowly slipping away from reality. An alluring voice crept into your ear, singing an enchanting but hypnotising harmony. Somehow you could sense that it wasn't one of the workers for the voice sounded too angelic, too sweet to even be real. Your bones were chilled as you sensed the familiar feeling of cold strong arms enveloping around your waistline and chest as if you were reliving the moment by the cliff. You could physically feel it, its touch… his touch. Closing your eyes, you could feel the cold sharp wind from that moment above the water as it brushed against your cheeks. The creature’s hot breath giving you some type of warmth in the moment, yet it felt unknown to you. Mortality was clutching you in its hands, but you felt so safe. Like it was saving you despite drowning you at the same time.

You shook your head, awaking from the trance that you were in. Glancing back over at the tank behind the bar and you saw a dark figure in the water. It stayed there looking through the algae ridden glass. You could only see a face, black and blue scales on its cheekbones and jaw. It looked human, but at the same time, you knew it wasn't. Its alluring golden eyes, shining in the water, staring into your own. Its eyes were soulless.

By the time you blinked, it was gone.

You stood up, wanting to go closer to the small tank behind the bar. Making your way behind the bar, you were stopped by a strong hand pulling your shoulder back. "What are you doing here?" You turned to see a man who held your shoulder with a firm grip, his eyes staring straight into yours.

Oh, if looks could kill.

"I uhh.." Your mind went blank as you stepped back a bit, away from the man. He looked annoyed while you struggled to let the words out. By this time, you forgot what just happened moments ago.

"Answer my question" He spoke quietly but sternly, letting go of your shoulder but moving a step closer to make sure you can't run away.

"I was waiting for-"

"Yoongi-Hyung, what are you doing?? Leave the poor girl alone, you'll give her a heart attack" You sighed in relief as you saw Jimin walk up to the bar.

'You know this girl?" He spoke in a serious tone, you remembered what Taehyung said earlier about the Bartender, I guess this is him.

Jimin nodded, leaning on the bar. "Her name is Y/N, she's the new recruit Hoseok was telling us about" Jimin looks over at you with a charming smile while you take the opportunity to escape the bar and onto Jimin's side.

Yoongi looked at you and then back at Jimin, "well get outta here will you, the aquarium opens up soon”.

You nodded and Jimin just smirks before looking over at you "Come on Y/N, we have a busy day ahead of us" He stands up, grabbing your hand, giving you his signature smile before leading you out of the food court and down the hall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Person POV

"I can't believe we are opening up the aquarium a day after we caught it, what if it escapes?!" Hoseok looked down at the ground continuously tapping his foot on the ground as he leaned on the bookshelf in the office. Namjoon sat there in the chair in front of him.

"Don't worry, it can't escape" Namjoon reassured him and then continued.

"We have reason to believe it got stuck in an old tunnel filled with water that was built throughout the aquarium. We constructed the tunnel ages ago for the public and we were going to add glass windows to it, so you can look through the tunnel. However, the construction wasn't going as planned and we halted the idea."

"So, it's just swimming in a small tunnel throughout the aquarium walls with no way out? Like a maze? In pitch-black darkness?" Hoseok widened his eyes, he never heard of such a thing.

"You have nothing to worry about, the tunnel that he swam through to get in the aquarium was connected to the ocean, but we blocked it off as soon as we found out he swam in it. He's stuck in there."

"Are you certain? Have you swum through the tunnel yourself? How do you know there's no other way he can reach the other aquariums for the public to see?" Hoseok said, his voice raised. He walked up to the front of the desk, his hands crossed, Namjoon could sense his doubt radiating off of him.

"Before this place was opened to the public, I got some divers to check it out, it has no pockets or windows. It's pitch black down there" he tried to reassure Hoseok again. Namjoon looked up at Hoseok and he nodded, uncrossing his arms.

"Let's hope he doesn't go too crazy down there, we'll have to get him out soon." He continued, "Oh, by the way, Jackson called. He said yes to the deal." Hoseok

"Good. We will prepare the creature for transport soon".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a busy day.

You sat off to the side as Jimin stood in his wetsuit on the platform of the dolphin's tank. He had a big smile stretched across his face as he instructed the dolphins while the crowd watched from the bleachers. With every flick of his hand, the dolphins would jump up in the air and the echoes of cheering would fill the small arena. You had a bucket of fish with you and you watched as each dolphin would come up to you after doing a trick. You sat on the side of the tank, you were visible to the public eye, but they weren't paying attention to you. It was sad really, you knew what went on in aquariums. How ironic that you want to be free yourself when working at an establishment that rejects freedom. You looked at the next dolphin that swam your way, it seemed weaker than the others. You went closer to the tank and sat on the edge. It slowly swam up to you, it was at that very moment that you saw a gash stretched out on its back. It wasn't bleeding, and you could easily see that it’s been there for a while.

You looked up at Jimin in worry although he didn't take notice. He held the microphone as he catered to the audience. You looked back at the dolphin and reached a fish from the bucket. Perhaps it was self-inflicted somehow. You heard that stuff can happen in aquariums. You watched the dolphin gently swim away, back down into the water, following the strict routine that was given to them before the show.

After the show ended, you still couldn't get that dolphin out of your head. Its empty expression in its eyes is still burned in your mind. All the hope and optimism you once associated with dolphins was now gone.

You stood there in the tiny tin room out the back of the aquarium near the dolphin tank, cleaning buckets of fish that were now empty. Jimin left you and went to go help another co-worker and gave you the task of cleaning out buckets that radiated the smell of decaying fish. You remember the innocent smile he gave you when he asked you for this little favour. It was your job, you couldn't say no - and he knew that.

"Thanks, Y/N! I owe you" Jimin yelled out, waving his hand as he ran off.

It was around 4 pm when you finished cleaning. Your body felt tired from the long day and you and Jimin were headed to the bar.

As you stepped into the food court the feeling you had before suddenly crept through your body. You shivered, and a sudden feeling of dread came upon you. It was weird, you didn't even think about the incident after it happened. Like you suddenly forgot about it. But now, as you slowly walk up towards the bar, you felt a chill encompassed around your bones.

Jimin sat down on the stool on the bar and placed a hand under his chin. He looked up at Yoongi with a smirk, "So, how's business?". Yoongi took a glance up at the both of you and looked back down again, wiping the bar down.

"It was pretty slow today. It was weird, I expected more people to come" Yoongi said quietly. You sat down next to Jimin and crossed your arms over the bar, letting your head rest gently on your arms.

"Hey, I just cleaned that" Yoongi looked over at you but after the day you had, you couldn't care less. You replied with a monotone "sorry" but stayed in your current position. He could tell that you were tired and surprisingly enough, he didn't push it.

"So, you remember that key I gave to you right? The one I found?" Jimin straightened up at Yoongi's words and looked over at you for a split second.

"Yeah I remember, what about it?" Yoongi sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Well I need it back" Jimin looked confused, "but I thought you found it, that it had no meaning to you. That's why you gave it to me in the first place"

Yoongi sighed, "To be honest it was actually Hoseok's. I was curious to know what it's for, so I gave it to you. I didn't realise you wouldn't tell me after you found out. Still, after all these years, you haven't told me! To think, I was the one who gave you the key in the first place". Yoongi grabbed a glass from under the bar and shoved some ice in it before filling it up with apple juice. He passed it to you as if to tell you that he still remembers that you're here.

Jimin rolled his eyes, "Yeah, you gave me the key because you were too lazy to figure it out on your own".

"The point is, I need it. Where is it?" Yoongi looked somewhat anxious as he wiped down the bar for the third time.

Jimin shrugs, reaching his arm over to take your drink from the table that you haven't touched.

It’s too sweet. He sipped it casually and looked over at you before landing his eyes towards Yoongi again. "I don't know, I threw it away, I found no use for it".

Yoongi crossed his arms frowned, "that's bullshit, you are lying, and you know it, you've always been a bad liar". Yoongi then looks at you, your arms still crossed as you lay your head there, if they didn't know any better, they would have assumed you were asleep. Except you laid there, silently listening.

Jimin then also frowns, "look I don't know what to tell you, it's been years since you gave me that thing. The truth is, I lost it." Jimin looks up at Yoongi but Yoongi scoffs.

"So, you threw it away or lost it? Come on Jimin, just give it to me, I know you have it". Yoongi looked right through Jimin's eyes, you looked over at both of them, you could tell there was tension in the air.

Jimin was silent and Yoongi sighed grabbing the drink that you obviously weren’t going to finish and pouring it into the sink before placing the glass in the dishwasher under the bar.

Yoongi spoke quietly but you could tell that his words held a lot of weight, "Promise me".

Jimin looked up, "I don't get why you are so obsessed with this key, I don't even have it!"

"Promise me that you don't have it" Yoongi looked at him, his facial expression was the look of hurt more than anything. You could tell that there was more to this than what Yoongi was letting on. You sat there next to them, waiting for Jimin to spill the beans about giving the key to you.

Jimin was hesitant for a second before strongly responding, "I promise I don't have it." Yoongi stood there silent before nodding, mumbling a soft "sorry" under his lips before going back to cleaning the bar, even though he already finished.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I can't believe you lied for me," You spoke as you walked around the dolphin tank outside, Jimin walking beside you.

"I didn't lie. I don't have it. You do." Jimin smiled at you brightly, although you could tell that something was bothering him. You both kept walking before Jimin looked at his watch, "I'm sorry I got to go, feel free to stay here as long as you want, Namjoon doesn't mind us staying after hours. Although you do realise our shift ended an hour ago, right?" Jimin smiled brightly as he looked down at you, his eyes shining in the moonlight.

You chuckled, "Yes I knew, I just like your company. Thanks for being there for me. I haven't known you long, but you made me feel comfortable on my first day" You smiled, it seemed like you and Jimin were going to become really good friends.

"I'll always be here Y/N... Anyways I'll see you at work tomorrow yeah? Have a nice night" Jimin waved goodbye and walked away.

You sighed, reaching for the key from your pocket.

"Might as well check it out while I still can?" You thought.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was late, really late and you found yourself questioning Jimin's earlier statement about being allowed here after hours. You wandered through the halls of the aquarium, following the directions Jimin and Taehyung showed you last time, careful not to make any loud noises to gain any attention.

The halls were cold, and you could hear were the sounds of your heels tapping against the hard floor. While walking, you felt your chest become heavy, looking around you started to hear weird sounds coming from the walls. You shrugged it off however, you've been in aquariums long enough to know that it could be anything and that it's never completely quiet.

Finally reaching your destination you head down the metal steps. You've never been to this part of the building apart from when Jimin and Taehyung took you, you suppose it's for private personnel only. Continuing down the steps you reach the door to the moonpool, the sounds of water can be heard dripping and sloshing from behind. Inserting the keys and turning the metal handle you slowly walked inside. It was darker than the last time you saw it. What was surprising was the glow worms on the roof of the moonpool illuminating the moonpool and stone walls that surrounded it. You didn't see them during the day. They were beautiful.

Walking along the gravel towards the moonpool, you took off shoes your socks and placed your backpack next to the moonpool. You sat on the edge, dipping your legs in as you rolled up your pants, so they don't get wet. You closed your eyes, feeling the water reach up to your kneecaps. The water was lukewarm, and the smell of sea salt radiating off of it.

What a long day.

If you were being honest, all of this was too much for you. You never thought you would say this, but you miss home. You miss Marina's cooking and weirdly enough, you miss your mother. She hasn't called, even texted since you left. You felt like you thought this would be different, the people here are nice but every so often you get reminded about the flaws of this world, the treatment of animals, – the dolphin – the uneasiness you felt about Julie and her intentions. Even Jimin and Yoongi, you didn’t want to cause a fight between them because of some stupid key.

The water had suddenly started to turn cold, starting from your feet you feel a rush of icy water spread to your knees, eliminating any prior warmth you felt. The dripping stopped, the sloshing of the water halted. You opened your eyes curiously to see a figure from the other side of the moonpool staring right at you. You looked right in its eyes. Time stopped, and you could barely see anything else but the wide golden piercing gaze of the creature. You sat there frozen in place. You don't know how long you stayed like this for, but it took a while to realise what was happening. It didn't say a word, but you could tell by its knowing facial expression that it somehow knows who you are. Looking down in the now murky water you could see an outline of a human’s body, his muscles and broad shoulders prominent underneath the dark blue scales that stretched over its torso. You continued to examine the long outline of a tale - a big tale at that - with the front looking slimy however you could guess that the back of the tale was sharp enough to cut through any piece of flesh that it would encounter. One aspect of the creature that seemed almost beautiful were some parts of his scales that were brighter than others, acting as a highlighter around his cheekbones and arms.

You didn't want to make any sudden movements, frightened that the creature would drag you under. Eat you. Kill you. You decided that it was now or never and spoke quietly under your breath, looking back up at its eyes that never left yours. "Hi, my name is Y/N". Your breath was shaky, and your lips were dry.

"It probably can't even understand you," You thought to yourself.

The creature stopped staring into your eyes and lowered its focus to your legs that were swaying in the water. You shivered, the cold air getting to you. Goosebumps appeared on your legs and arms and you could have sworn you sore the remnant of a smirk that appeared on its lips.

You suddenly had an idea.

Carefully, you looked up at the creature, "I'm just going to grab something out from my backpack, okay?" Slowly you stretched your arm out towards your backpack while maintaining eye contact with the creature. The creature stayed still, however you knocked something metal in your bag and it made a loud noise that echoed throughout the moonpool. The creature’s facial expression turned darker and it went full force towards you, grabbing your calves as it didn't let you go. It was close to your face, its golden eyes peering into yours as you could feel its grip and claws on your legs tighten, its body between your thighs leaning in on you. You breathed in slowly, feeling almost petrified, but somehow you knew the creature didn't mean any harm. It looked over at your hand that was inside your backpack. You waited a few seconds before slowly, lifting your hand out of the bag, to reveal a container of prawns that was meant to be your lunch today.

The creature's grip loosened from your calves as it watched you open the container, taking a prawn before slowly reaching over to the creature's lips. One of its hands let go of your calf as it held your hand, guiding it towards its lips before it opened its mouth biting the prawns head off. You looked at the creature, a little startled. Its teeth were sharper than a normal human, like razors. In fact, you looked closely at the details of the creature's face, noticing the similarities to that of a human. Everything was the same except for the scales on the sides of his face, neck and on his cheekbones. The outline of his eyes was darker though, making his golden eyes brighter than usual. It had brown locks of hair, wet but you could see it was starting to dry. He resembled a male in his 20s.

He finished the prawn quickly and looked back at the container, wanting more. You spoke softly, "have more if you would like".

He looked down at your hand and then back up at you as if it was asking you to feed him again. His grip on one of your calves was softer and you could feel his thumb running circles over your calf. You grabbed another prawn, reaching over to his lips as he was careful not to cut your fingers with his teeth as he ate the prawn.

You sat there, feeding him the rest as he grew more comfortable around you. His hand reached out of the water towards the gravel next to your thigh as he spelled out the words "Jungkook" on the gravel.

"Jungkook?" You questioned, "is that your name?". Jungkook looked up at you before placing his hand on your thigh.

"Yes", he answered. Your eyes widen in shock, you didn't think he could understand you. You frowned and asked him curiously, "could you understand me this whole time?".

He smirked slightly, "I'm not the best at this human language but yes, yes I could" He looked up at you, his eyes shining. You frowned, feeling a little messed around with since he could have at least answered you the many times you spoke to him. But then again you understood, he doesn't know you, and you don't know him.

His grip on your calf and thigh tightened as he started to pull you in the water. You freaked, holding on to the edge of the moonpool. "Wait, wait, wait! I can't get these clothes wet and I uhh, have to get going soon..." Jungkook frowned but stopped pulling. He let go of you.

"Promise me you'll come back?" He looked at you with a sad expression, lowering himself in the water.

You looked down at him as you took your legs out of the water and grabbed your bag with your shoes and socks.

"I promise"

Are you still working on your Commonwealth study? Do you have any thoughts on Arthur's relationships with his colonies apart from Canzuk + US?

Not properly, unfortunately with exams and then work I haven’t had mental/emotional capacity to do real research (and probably won’t for a while 😔). But I have continued to think about and develop certain relationships, and I think I also have old hcs I’ve never shared, so I’ll put those down!

Born into the Empire

Australia

@oumaheroes has already done such great hcs on him idk what I can add, but basically he was a little bit of a rowdy child, always breaking windows and shattering fancy pots, never able to sit still. I think rainbow once mentioned that Ken (short for Kenneth, my name for Aus) was a lot like England as a child in his curiosity and energy, and I wholeheartedly agree. But I think Arthur’s intensity was more inwardly directed, pushing him to pursue and master new talents and learn whatever he could, while Australia is a little more carefree in his love for the outdoors, exploring, jumping around and off things, little wild animals. Unfortunately for him, he was born in a period of the empire when Arthur was very serious about his kids education, and therefore often praised those who studied hard and learned fast, which really just wasn’t Australia’s cup of tea. Australia took this kinda hard and thought he was the “dumb” one in the family that Arthur was always scolding, but in reality Arthur knew and appreciated that Australias interests lay elsewhere — he was just a frustrated, tired, parent who really wanted to give his kids the best while also holding his empire together, two goals that were never going to fit well in the end and would completely exhaust him.

As Australia’s grown older he’s realized a bit of this (not entirely, though) and also that 1) he really did break a lot expensive things and cause general mayhem 2) scolding us Arthur’s way of showing he cares, if he didn’t he wouldn’t have payed attention to him at all 3) despite being a penal colony, he was still one of Arthur’s more “legitimate” children (being white and a boy) and was therefore still incredibly privileged — never having to question, for example, why it was that Arthur was his dad, if it should be this way, or if he had a seat at the family table at all (more on this later).

New Zealand

Zee, from birth, was a clear favourite. Obedient, calm, quietly intelligent, he would also later develop a blistering sense of humour which combined with his appearance made it overwhelmingly clear who’s child he was. If Ken questioned his place in the family because of his poor academic record and others did because of their appearance/race/other complications, Kaelan never had such problems; his siblings called him the “prince.” Zee, however, also had a charm that, like Matthew, endeared him to his siblings and mostly protected him from jealousy, though he certainly still had issues with being called a try hard, daddy’s boy, bossy, arrogant. Certainly as a child Zee was a little prideful and, under that unperturbed demeanour, willful, but he grew out of it by the 20th century and became one of those most trusted by Arthur, second only to Matthew. He’s also always been inseparable from his brother Australia despite their differences, and today they both have one of the healthiest and most amicable relationships with Arthur of any nation, let alone former colonies (family road trips, every summer).

Bermuda

I absolute fell in love with this girl after reading about here, once, in this fic by @shachaai, and after that my mind just ran away with me. For me, her human name given to her by Arthur just has to be Ariel — for the little mermaid reference, yes, symbolizing her connection to the sea and stunning good looks, but also because:

1. Ariel is a biblical name, meaning lion of God. This makes sense to me, because Bermuda began as a Portuguese trade post, so Arthur definitely consulted our resident bad catholic Port before naming her.

2. Ariel used to be boys name. This also makes sense, because I hc Bermuda was and still is a tomboy. Bitch is fierce, takes no prisoners, and has zero filter. Her letters to Arthur, which all the colonies sent so Arthur could keep an eye on things, were full of shit like “I swear to god if the Spanish don’t get out of my waters I might eat one of them,” and “father, I asked you for destroyers two months ago, and yet you sent them to Hong Kong — could you explain this most unusual occurrence, surely it’s not that you forgot”, and “thank you for the harpoon on my birthday, I caught a small shark a couple days ago and have sent you some of its teeth for your collection.” Arthur tolerates this attitude because he’s weak when it comes to girls; he absolutely spoils his daughters (and flushes like a 16 year old when a woman so much as bats her eyelashes at him). Yes, p*ssywhipped Arthur is a hill I will die on.

3. It also suits her because? Ariel? Shakespeare? The Tempest? Bermuda Triangle? Shipwrecks? Daughter-like figure of powerful and vengeful sorcerer? Yeah. And this girl is a fire spirit — she is so lively, snarky, clever. As she’s grown older she’s mellowed out a little, but still: a no shit taken, no fucks given type of gal.

4. Speaking of growing up, she’s also become quite the beauty. Shacha, if I’m remembering correctly, described her as dark skinned, wavy-haired, and green eyed and that image has been burned onto the back of my eyelids ever since. Those Iberian genetics really be pulling through for her, that’s for sure. Engport love child if I’ve ever seen one. Definitely one of the prettiest in her family.

Singapore

I’ve already mentioned this to needcake, but I’m not too big a fan of canon Singapore, so this is my oc version. Singapore is fascinating to me because it had only a very small local population before it became a colony (The original settlement had actually been destroyed by the Portuguese about two centuries before the British started building a port there.) So nation-tans like Singapore and Bermuda really are Arthur’s children in the most direct sense of the word. And yet, Singapore is mostly ethnically Chinese, with Malays being the second largest group. Growing up Asian in a white, Victorian era family surely cannot have been easy and more than once Singapore probably wondered if there hadn’t been some mistake. To make up for the constant fear that he wasn’t “really” British, Singapore studied ferociously and had a truly terrifying work ethic. I’m not sure if this is common knowledge outside Asian circles, so I’ll mention that this hc comes from the fact Singapore is well known for having truly exceptional students and some of the most prestigious schools. Singaporeans score highly in literally everything and they have an advantage with good English learning environments, a highly desirable trait in Asia, but these results come from brutally long hours — and its really saying something that they’re known for working hard, considering the studying ethic of students in Korea, Japan, and China aint nothing to sneeze at, either. To me this actually fits really well with Singapore’s upbringing in Arthur’s household, because Arthur himself prizes intelligence and hard work above all else, being a workaholic himself.

As for their relationship, it was probably the best when Singapore was young and peaked in the 1930s with the massive naval base the British built at Singapore, at the time the largest dry dock in the world. Singapore was a well-behaved child, not necessarily introverted but not rowdy either, and all the way into his teenage years he truly admired Arthur and was proud to be a part of the British Empire, despite his lingering unease and insecurities. The British defeat in World War II, however, was a massive turning point. He had worked his ass off to be a good son, a good brother, to contribute to the only family and system he had ever known, and he had thought by the 30s he was finally on his way to becoming a fine adult. And suddenly, the British surrender brings his entire world crashing down. He had followed the rules faithfully thinking it was his destiny, but suddenly it was clear that all rules were made up. Of course, his insecurities exploded. If the empire was a ruse, what the hell was he? A part of the illusion? He couldn’t have a truly Asian identity, because many of the old East Asian nations shunned him for his Western upbringing, and he could not entirely understand their values either. So he was a kid who kinda had to figure out late and very very suddenly who the fuck he was and wanted to be.

And, well, he’s done pretty well for himself, hasn’t he. After having a total crisis and questioning everything, I think Singapore slowly started to realize that just because the British Empire as a political entity didn’t last forever, that didn’t mean that his entire childhood and identity weren’t real. The love he gave to his siblings and the love he got back, the hard work he put in, his bond with Arthur and the safe, happy childhood he had — those memories and feelings didnt have to be diminished by what came after. Essentially, he learned the lesson all nations have to learn, which is that one needs to be able to discern between duties as a nation and feelings as a human being, and to some extent keep them separate to protect both.

Whoooooo ok I’ll stop there because this turned into a dissertation, sorry. Let me know if there are any specifics u want me to elaborate on or anything I missed, but I’ll leave this here for today :)

#hws england #hws Australia #hws new zealand #oc: hws Bermuda #not gonna tag anymore I’m lazy #fun times with the commonwealth #I probably won’t write so much for all of them I just put it there to remind myself #needcake #ask #my hcs

Kugo Sakamata as a Boyfriend

Pairing: Kugo Sakamata (Gang Orca) x F!Reader

Summary: you guessed it. the title.

Warnings: Swearing, lil bitta angst

A/N: am. i. a. furry. now. fuck.

I bring this up with a lot of the characters (Shirakumo, Inasa, etc) I’ve done so far, but Kugo is TALL. This sweet orca man is 202 cm or 6’6”!!!

Holy…

KUGO. NOT KEIGO. I haven’t done that blonde asshole and I’m gonna put it off as long as possible. i hate him

For starters, Kugo doesn’t exactly know how you even remotely enjoy his presence. He’s been told since he was a preschooler that he was different, creepy, a monster, and an outcast to society

Kugo keeps himself away from people whenever he can for that very reason

He doesn’t want children to be afraid of him, he hates the uneasy sidewise glances, people moving away from him out of intimidation on trains, buses, etc…

So he stays in his office or his apartment to avoid it all

By some stroke of luck, you appeared out of nowhere, stole his heart, and never gave it back

Kugo is so smitten with you

You’re his angel, his siren, and his mermaid in the deep lonely sea he’d been floundering in for most of his adult life

Your love gives him a reason to hold his head up high on patrols because he has to keep the streets safe for you if not anyone else

Kugo is a good-natured and friendly guy! He has a very intimidating countenance, yes, but that doesn’t define his personality! He’s only menacing and ruthless when required, and the rest of the time he’s just a really tall and intimidating teddy bear

Honestly, how are people afraid of him when he’s a species of dolphin?

*hits the protecc button real hard*

Can anyone else hear him speaking in a german accent or is that just me?

Kugo, aware of his broadness and height, is very gentle with you

As self-conscious and aware as he is, he has accidentally rolled over on top of you during the night, hugged you until your back popped, and has given you a stinging slap on the back, but he never tries to hurt you on purpose

Your breasts (no matter the size) are like anemones are to a clownfish; a place where he feels safe and happy

They’re warm and soft and they smell nice too. The perfect haven.

Just… after a long day and several children crying upon seeing him, he really needed a hug

That being said, Kugo is a big ‘tough guy’ and will keep up the act until he literally can’t hold it in anymore and he needs you to hold his face to your chest for hours and stroke his smooth head

An emotion-heavy relationship; if you’re not happy about something, please freaking tell him or he’ll lash out (with words), thinking you got sick of kissing a killer whale

“I knew you’d get tired of me, I fucking knew it! If you were just gonna fuck around with my heart, tell me so I can get unattached to you before you go! I love you! Sounds like some creepy shit coming from a killer whale, but you know what? I’ve spent too much of my stupid life thinking about those five-year-old shitheads that cry to their ‘normal human’ parents because ‘big scary’ whale guy is walking within a 7 meter radius! I am so fucking click click click click click click click click click click CLICK click click CLICK CLICK CLICK click!”

You: On the bed, crying, hugging a pillow to your chest and wishing you knew the orca language

Fights with the mighty Gang Orca are rough

You’re worried he’ll yell at you again if you try to make amends too early or be offended if you try too late

He’s worried you hate him for yelling at you, accusing you wrongly, and cursing your poor soul to high heaven in his rage

The relationship could potentially fall apart if not immediately taken care of

He is a hero after all

Kugo doesn’t have the time to dwell on lost love or it could cost him his life in combat

Hey

Are you short?

Well you’re in luck! Kugo Sakagami is madly in love with you and he can twirl you around without batting an eye!

Are you tall?

Hah. Not as tall as him. Kugo is still gonna grab you by those lovely hips and set you on his shoulders so your plush thighs can surround his head in their warmth

Possible size kink?

People often give you odd stares when you drag your man out of the house for a stroll and some fresh air

You’re dating that… thing?

You just glare at them and continue your conversation with Kugo, hand in hand as you lead him toward the subway station

One stride for him is about 2-5 steps for you (depending on your height) so you’ll definitely stay in shape!

He won’t mind carrying you around though, he likes to show off his strength

You are the most adorable and sweet being in the universe to him and he would do anything in his earthly power to see you smile and make you happy

👏BEACH👏DATES👏BEACH👏DATES👏

MASSIVE big spoon and very cuddly

He really likes it when you play with his hands

Kugo is not a good cook, he’s too big for small kitchen triangles, to begin with and he is designed to eat food raw anyway

He hates seafood

Kugo never gets cold, but can overheat/burn easily if he hasn’t had enough water

sTaY hYdRaTeD kUgO

I think he’d be a good dad. Can we add him to the list of good my hero dads? He’s a good boi

Kugo loves holding you; you could be cradled in his arms like a little baby, straddling his lap, arms around his neck and chin on his shoulder, etc. He likes feeling your comforting presence close to him whenever he can

His days off are the best

You two lay in bed all day, watch random stuff on TV (you could turn him into a weeb sooo easily), eat stuff, and cuddle

Idk guys, i think i like him now

Does that make me a furry?

Pippa and Hamin for the ship meme!

let’s GOOOOO. Under a read more because I can talk about Ideas For Fucking Ever. The meme in question and if you read this and think “golly gee, I’d love to give you an opprotunity to chat more about othere people” I have a shiny new character page you could reference here.

who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunter

This one I had to think about. Hamin probably makes a better werewolf, but Pippa makes a UNIQUELY terrible hunter so, pivoting ever so slightly maybe she’s more like a behind the scenes information broker type (Pippa, Collector and Keeper of Secrets is incredibly canon after all). She’d obviously have to start off allied with the hunters, to keep the tension with Hamin real and true. Hamin’s pack doesn’t have the WORST reputation possible, but they’re definitely not above suspicion. They retain their passion for ocean voyages, which strikes other people as odd because prejudice.

That said, you know who ALSO makes a great werewolf? Pippa’s mother and “aunt”, Roshan and Jessamine, so Pippa as part of a bamf all lady’s wolf pack who get tangled up with hunter shenanigans is also an excellent plot. Not least because Pippa would be a very pretty wolf, I dare say (maybe they’d actually be were-jackels, a la the Golden Jackel? A Consideration, given where I HC a modern AU Pippa would be from).

In this case I’d say the lady’s pack almost never maul people, except maybe domestic abusers and rapists, but who can blame them? So another pack moves in (it’s prob Jarrude’s lbr) and causes problems and Very Serious Hunter Hamin (ha) has to wade through the complicated world of lycanthrope politics to find The Truth. And of course falls in love with the nicest werewolf this side of whatever major geographical feature of your choice.

who’s the mermaid and who’s the fisherman

Mermaid Pippa and “fisherman” Hamin, natch. Pippa’s not very ruthless canonically, but I can apply liberal use of Alternate Cultural POVs On Ethics and say Pippa only leaves her goaded people on rocks, she never drowns them! That’s very nice of her! And sometimes she pulls an Ariel and helps a bro out, which is probably related to how her and Hamin meet. Some options:

1. Pippa had previously saved Hamin’s life, so in turn, something happens and she gets caught, and he saves her life as repayment. Similar to Bog Standard Plot Below, she’s obviously too injured to return to sea so they’re forced to cohabitate. High jinks and romance ensue.

2. Bog standard mermaid washed ashore plot. Bathtub high jinks ensue. There’s a scene where someone catches Hamin carrying a bucket of raw fish into his house and he has to explain it away. Leala catches on in the first 20 mins. At some point, they’re forced to bring Pippa to dinner with Hamin’s dad and there is much nerves, only for Pippa to reveal she’s stranded many a gentlemen adventurer in her time and she picked up some epic etiquette knowledge along the way.

3. Hamin gets stranded somewhere and Pippa’s the only person around who can come visit. It starts with her bringing him fish. Requisite Second Act Breakup is when Pippa, conscience having formed in the last hour of run time, reveals a way off his small deserted island. Obviously, he sails off in a huff and they meet up again in the next 35 minutes, have the big damn kiss and idk how you turn this one into a true happy ending and not a sort of esoteric one but Hollywood and or an Indie Darling Director will manage.

who’s the witch and who’s the familiar

Witch Pippa, hands down the answer. She gets it from her grandmother (er, step-grandmother?). Does Hamin have an animal form? If so, does it align to Pippa Aesthetic and is he a snakey boi or, does he get to pick? What would Hamin pick? Seagull - the goose of the sea?

Other option is he’s always human and either case I’m betting Hamin’s not a traditional familiar. Rather, he needed to get out Faerie/Familiarland STAT and filched Pippa’s contract off a Traditional And Proper Familiar and got himself a ticket to human land away from whoever he pissed off.

High jinks ensue.

who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addict

I had to think about this one because I mean let’s be very real here - neither Pippa, Quintessential Nice But Still Privileged Rich Girl or Hamin “cause problems for the staff on purpose” are shoe ins for having worked for customer service. That said, Hamin’s more likely to piss off his dad and be forced to get a job and like, have a real person job in general. So, Hamin’s barista job is his in-world Summit equivelent and he planned to quit the moment he paid off whatever damages he’s definitely paying off.

Except, Pippa comes in and orders only moderately complicated coffee orders and this isn’t a place that does the name thing so Hamin knows Nothing except she’s friendly and pretty and omg this one is perfect to throw in the OT3 because clearly the only reason he doesn’t just immediately ask Pippa for her name and number and also the next 20 years of her life pls and thanks is her hot boyfriend.

(But it’s okay, Pippa has two hands and so does Zarad u_u)

Otherwise she’d have to be someone who just comes to drive through bc idk why he’d hold off on asking since this is HAMIN we’re talking about.

who’s the professor and who’s the TA

...either of these two in academia is an interesting prospect. Maybe he’s a kid who got into archeology because of Indiana Jones and, while there’s far fewer chase scenes and death traps, Hamin ended up with a PhD and a job and look, he’s as confused as you are about how this all happened. It’s alright though because the job does come with cute anthropology TAs who work in an allied and often cross referential field. Pippa’s less immediately enamoured with Hamin but warms up because he’s the only person who actually listens to her and doesn’t treat her like she’s a child just because she’s a short woman.

This one could be set in exciting locales for a bit of Indie Flavour but with more consent and less horrifying age gaps, and no breaking of international laws and if anyone gets squished by rocks it’s a horrifying rock slide scenario.

Alternatively, polisci professor Pippa is working alongside the marine biology department to work on smth enviro-politics and ocean protection. TA Hamin is Very Enthusiastic about helping her out. This one features a scene where people naturally assume Hamin’s the professor and he trolls the ever living shit out of them.

This one is set in conferences which is 10000% less sexy but also way more familiar.

Depends on the vibes u want. Either way, Lyon is there somewhere and he and Pippa are unlikely friends purely because 4′10″ Pippa and like, 6′5″ or whatever Lyon being friends is never not hilarious. He definitely disapproves of Hamin just in general but especially in a library setting.

who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss)

This is legit a Knight’s Tale AU, except instead of Jousting, we’ll say Hamin ends up taking Princess Pippa across the country as a sort of personal security situations and, as usual high jinks ensue. IDK who makes the best Chaucer stand in as a pal to help Hamin in his quest but he definitely needs the help. Pippa catches on like, super fast anyway because her interpersonal insight is boss af but she just goes with it because it’s amusing and he’s doing a fine job.

Another candidate for the OT3 bc Chaucer!Zarad is perfect, but so is the plot being that Hamin and Zarad had a thing aaages ago, now Pippa’s being carted off to marry prince Zarad and oh hey this is also nearly a Sinbad AU but with the proper Poly Ending in place

There is no AU where Pippa’s a the knight to Hamin’s prince, I’m sad to say. Her martial skills are about nil.

who’s the teacher and who’s the single parent

HMMM. I think Early Childhood Specialist Hamin and Parent Pippa shake out best, mostly because at the end of the day I don’t think Pippa like...likes kids that much. She doesn’t dislike them but she’d never want a life devoted to spending all her time with them. Her own kids though, different story.

Evil instinct says dad is Clarmont, because I feel like Clarmont is really easy to kill off in incredibly tragic but heroic circumstances and Modern AU Pippa would totally be down for a Clarmont romance. Anyway, Pippa has an adorable little girl who thinks Mr. Hamin is the BEST teacher, he helped her dig up worms for her show and tell at recess mama!

Pippa and Hamin in this set up don’t actually meet for like, a solid three months so they both form skew-whiff images of the other and so they get a CLASSIC “oh no (s)he’s hot / THIS IS MR. HAMIN / THIS IS MS. X” moment. Adorable Little Girl is captain of this ship despite being like, 4 and Pippa and Hamin are just along for the ride.

High jinks ensue.

(alt bc I’m never not on my bullshit dad is Zarad, and not dead and they just never married bc Family Drama and OT3 babey)

who’s the writer and who’s the editor

Absolutely writer Hamin and editor Pippa. She inherited from someone who quit and she really shakes things up by like, having Expectations and shit and Hamin, who’s been not in a good place following a personal trauma, finds himself annoyed for all of two seconds before she shows up on his doorstep on the day after a due date because if he wants to play Pippa will Play. And oh no, she’s cute. Hamin is enraptured, Pippa just wants him to work at first. Romance blossoms lopsidedly but he charms her after some sort of deal is struck that includes her dragging him out of the house to buy food or just go for a walk or whatever.

Shenanigan ensue.

This one is pure fluff about the power of human connection, there is no second act drama they get to skip ahead AND collect their 20 dollars it’s great.

hello ! i’m cc & i simply have no brain ! currently stuck in a head empty , no thoughts mood – idk how i always have muse for new muses , but here i am anyway with aella , who – basic rundown , cause this is so fucking long , is the only daughter of the duke & duchess of sutherland ( i ? am not english but i am reaching , call me out ) & as the sole heir , has adopted the title of marchioness of stafford but has decided to just spend her days as a conniving socialite until she’s ultimately married off . but , if you’d like to plot , please like this & i’ll be on my zippity way over .

stats .

there’s aella huntington - keene ! though on their socials they go by @365aella . i heard she is originally from london , england , but made the big move to los angeles to join TWENTIES . you haven’t heard about it ? well , apparently their dream is to marry someone that pisses off her parents & enjoy a life as a trophy wife , but they have no chance unless they quit being so avaricious & devious . that said , those behind the scenes have said they can be loquacious & spellbinding too. guess we’ll have to watch and find out ! ━ & overflowing glasses of bubbly champagne to hide welled up tears in solemn eyes , toes digging into the sand whilst angry tears fall into the earth , hiding behind an air of ditz to pretend she isn’t calculating someone’s downfall & exchanging secrets as a form of payment ; learning that enigmas are worth much more than gold . ( park chaewon , cis female , she / her )

𝓲. 𝕒𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥 .

birth name : bomi kim current name : aella huntington - keene nickname(s) : bomi – to close loved ones only , marchioness , age : twenty gender / pronouns : cis gendered female / she / her / hers orientation : bisexual / biromantic hometown : london , england faceclaim : park chaewon ( gowon of loona )

fun facts : genuinely has a collection of crowns – just like – a closet full of crowns , just genuinely feels like a Beacon of Death but she doesn’t even talk about it , swears up & down she was almost casted in riverdale ( for what ? that’s not impressive , aella ) , is an oxford graduate actually but also ? just doesn’t mention it , fully believed in mermaids until like two years ago , aella just smells like the sea & that’s just how it be , really good at knitting & knits those huge blankets when stressed but doesn’t give them away so just has a closet full of blankets ? – & speaking of closets , aella just has like fifteen closets .

aesthetic : overflowing glasses of bubbly champagne to hide welled up tears in solemn eyes , toes digging into the sand whilst angry tears fall into the earth , hiding behind an air of ditz to pretend she isn’t calculating someone’s downfall , exchanging secrets as a form of payment ; learning that enigmas are worth much more than gold , her own personal graveyard with everyone she’s ever loved who’s left her too early , searching for the love she’s never been shown only to force it out when she finds it & baby blue tulle covering a silk dress worth hundreds of thousands of dollars .

playlist : she says by eve owen , to die for by sam smith , kings & queens by ava max , wicked game by grace carter .

𝓲𝓲. 𝕔𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕚𝕔𝕝𝕖 .

trigger warning : death .

happiness is worth more than riches , the kims have unlocked that simple secret in their lifetimes . butler to a family of nobility , jason kim met mary hwang while working for the huntington - keenes & got married within months of meeting each other . ‘ when you know , you know ’ they said & in a year , they had bomi . the huntington - keenes were ecstatic for the kims , loving bomi as their own – the kims are family , an arm away from nobility . when tragedy strikes one month after bomi’s birth & the huntington - keene estate is burned to the ground with her parents inside , bomi is taken in by the duke & duchess . their youngest child , she’s renamed aella & welcomed in by a family of nobility . she’s not nobility by blood , but they raise her as one , her siblings ( twins , the sole children of the duke & duchess ) treat her as their own blood . she gets a crown & gets the opportunity to rub shoulders with royal blood ; even if some don’t look at her as true nobility . the huntington - keenes are always the first to stand up for her if she’s looked down upon , reminding the world that aella is nobility & she is one of them . as the youngest , nearly a decade younger than the twins – edmund & augusta – aella is , babied . stuffed in courtesy classes & given passes every time she turns into trouble , it takes a while for her to fully grasp that she is royalty ; nobility while running in the halls of buckingham palace , but one day spent with augusta , she learns from lady augusta huntington - keene that women have a crucial role in court . while edmund will assume the title of duke , she & augusta will marry up , become duchesses in their own right & sent to fight dirty . secrets are worth more than gold , women are the deadliest soldiers . aella will always wonder what augusta uncovered after her marriage , because while on her way to a gala with edmund , the twins of sutherland were killed in a horrific accident .

the funeral is closed casket , aella stands with her parents with a stone cold face as the cameras take photos . the twins are buried together ( ‘ at least they died together ’ one tabloid says – the reporter is fired in seconds ) while aella , at fourteen is gifted a courtesy title of marchioness . marquess edmund of stafford has died & now she is the sole heir . it’s a title aella never wanted , now thrust into the place of her brother as her parents teach her twenty - five years worth of information to catch her up to his pace . gone are the gentle souls who’ve always crooned in her ear & held her in their arms before nighttime . the horrific , terrifying deaths of their children are enough to transform the duke & duchess into empty shells of who they used to be . the palace transforms from day to night , curtains closed as monsters roam the halls , leaving aella to twist from sweet , adopted - into - nobility lady of the house , into lethal marchioness . augusta teaches her even from beyond the grave , diary locked words reminding aella of her role as a woman of nobility . play the role , laugh at the jokes , gain their secrets , report back to the duke . there’s a shift when aella turns sixteen , hardened by the deaths in her life – parents , siblings – she gains a quick reputation that’s quite the opposite of her . ditzy , bubble brained , a bit lost , in over her head in the world of royalty . but underneath the duke , they’ve taken down enemies & corporations , simply because of a misunderstanding or a misconstrued look . aella is deadly , but so is the duke & at nineteen after a slight mishap in the ruining of someone’s career , she is threatened by him – reminded that she is not nobility by blood .

& aella is pissed off , understandably . her biggest insecurity brought to light by her own father , the one who she always thought was on her side . aella finds solace in her handmaiden – the girl gifted to her as a child , her only real friend & she loses her two days before�� her graduation from oxford . she’s found dead from a freak health accident & aella is left with the duke who refuses to see her as she is ( though , her lockscreen is still of her & her best friend ) . turned from a loving father who used to braid her hair & buy her any jeweled crown she wanted , into a ruthless duke who sits in an empty estate with nobody but an un loyal butler by his side . so aella graduates , ignores the wilting duchess as she takes off for the united states . all of her friends are doing it , noble women who’ve accepted their lives as just women , living as influencers & modern day title holders before their betrothals are announced . it takes barely months to gain traction , to hold a sizable following on social media because aella is likable – ditzy , fun loving , nobility that’s infiltrated england’s hierarchy with her bubbly attitude . friends with celebrities & other socialites , aella is at the heart of every scandalous drama that comes out – she’s the common factor that connects all the tea , but people just don’t see it , enamored by the crown , the title , the baby face . the producers know , a sixth sense for shit stirrers & dangerous secret holders , they contact her & aella knows it will piss off her parents – nobility sleazing it on a reality show ? producers make her promise drama , so she takes it , unaware of how dangerous it is to bare her soul to the world .

𝓲𝓲𝓲. 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 .

exterior . marked by tragedy , aella refuses to be seen by the publicness of her life . a public figure , her story is known by many – a sweet girl with dead parents , adopted into nobility only to lose her siblings , only to lose her best friend . she refuses to let them see her as sad & aella puts forth an image of kindness . a giver to charity , a lover of children , a sweet girl who’s a little slow in the head but always means well . aella is likable , she’s sweet & people think her authentic .

a social butterfly , one of her most well - known features is that aella seems to know everybody . they all know her , she’s mutuals with all the big names as well as the small influencers & she’s at the center of everything . the life of the party , the marchioness sheds her title even if her mannerisms are still noble . it’s obvious she’s nobility from her speech , her accent , how she sits at the dinner table – but aella’s the fun one , the trustworthy one because she’s never told you someone else’s secret , so why would she tell anyone yours ?

interior . sly , conniving & morally gray . her lips are sealed until they’re not . good at gaining trust from her charm & friendliness , aella is quick to garner secrets as payment for – anything . she lets go of them very rarely , holding them close to her in case anything just happens to go wrong & she needs ammunition – but behind the ditz & the kindness & the likability is who aella really is . incredibly angry , so fucking hurt , stuck in the process of grief . she’s incredibly smart , extraordinarily observant & a master of manipulation , but very few people know the real aella .

she holds anger in her palm like seawater & she’s an invincible liar . always caught in some sort of drama nowadays , though the spotlight’s never quite on her ( in other words , she’s not cancelled yet – in fact , they praise aella for being “scandal free” ) . for example , she’s the friend who was told by another friend to stop seeing the first friend – or , she’s the girl who saw her friend’s boyfriend’s hand on someone else’s ass . aella is connected , a finger dipped into everybody’s life even if aella happens to be one of the loneliest people she knows .

𝓲𝓿. 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 .

these are all most wanted !

skinny love , someone who knows aella as she truly is – angry & sad & just a fucking mess . we can plot this out & all the knitty gritty , but just some good ol’ angst where their hearts are together but they’re physically not & there’s a lot of pining & hurt uwu . think carla & samu from elite , percabeth in tlo , u know : spicy angst .

rich kid trio ( 0 / 2 ) , the one percent of the one percent , they knew each other before this simply because of wealth . where aella’s nobility , these muses either also are , or they’re simply super fuckin’ rich enough to interact with nobility & they’ve been friends for ever – they’ve had their ups & downs & they argue & fight but they always end up having each other’s backs .

drama / scandal partners , aka the ones that have been involved in drama before – probably because of her – but they’ve made it out with her still on their side & they laugh at it now like “ haha remember when that drama channel on youtube cancelled you ? haha bitch ! ”

current s / o & exes , the one that aella’s currently dating – probably to make her parents mad , probably to up views & gain followers , or maybe it’s real – & the exes that she’s had rumored flings w ( confirmed or not hehe ) . just give me all the angst please so we can hurt together & hurt each other ! love this for us !

everything else , another londoner where they hang out & her accent just unleashes , party buddies who get fucked up together , confidant who she goes to the beach w & cries with , hangover buds who just lay in bed together all day , will they - wont they where they tease viewers & fans , ex friends , current friends , anything & everything !

𝓿. 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕔𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 .

i’d love to get all these plots filled up , or any ones that you might have bc , lmk ! but if you’ve read this whole thing jesus , you’re amazing & i love u sm . please like this & i’ll come to u or lmk if u prefer disc & we can go there !

I was tagged by the wonderful @le-chardonneret

do you make your bed?

I don’t really feel in the right head space if I don’t make my bed...but that doesn’t mean I always do! My mum always used to say that making the bed could make a room look 90% tidier though and that’s a rule I live my life by.

what’s your favourite number?

New Blurb! (Excerpt)

Author’s note: Well.. not new. Just new to any viewers besides the two people that I’ve bothered for their opinions long enough. I know they’re sick of me 😭.... anyways it’s been a while since I posted any writing. I miss it and I’ve been feeling off. And that ask I got a while ago inspired me. So. Yeah. Here it is. Another random scene “blurb” from my story which has been newly titled, “The Chosen.”

It’s funny cause I’m posting this and you guys have zero context or any understanding of who these characters are and how they relate to each other. And why they’re normal but magical and .... It’s just so much. I hope I get the time... and a break after this surgery I have to have to get back in it and start over. But Idk it’s the end of the semester after all.

SCENE:

Cayla [Cameron + Nyla] Scene - “Being Different” 

Nyla let out a small breath of air and opened glassy eyes. She was alone in her room, back against the wall beside her bed frame. With trembling legs dangling off the edge of her bed, as she glares at the empty bed the opposite side of the room. Her fingers dig into the covers under her legs, palming desperately at the sheets for something grounding in the quiet room. Nyla tries desperately, to stop her body from shaking.

She couldn’t believe that they left her alone.

Upon feeling a whimper threatening to rise, the brunette growls at the air, masking it. Her wolf was jittery and on edge under her skin, mimicking her own distress. The sound of tapping along her window startle her and she glances quickly at the window, stance defensive, then slowly relaxed as she realizes a scrapping tree is making the sound. Goosebumps begin bubbling in her skin as she becomes aware of the cool air streaming through the window.

Nyla plants her feet along the ground and dashes to the window closing it swiftly. And then immediately regrets her decision, as she turns to find the empty room feels more confined than it did before. Nyla closes her eyes, leaving against the windowsill and forces herself to breathe, again.

She was fine. She had to be. She couldn’t not be fine.

Because if she wasn’t… Flashes of punctured flesh and torn clothing appear behind her eyelids. The ringing sound of a gunshot loud, deafening, thrumming against her temple. Then beats of silence follow, And then, screaming. And blood. So much blood. And trembling hands.

Nyla snaps her eyes back open and sits up. And presses the back of her hand to her mouth to hold back a wave of nausea.

The same hands that- Fuck!

She begins pacing at human speed across her floor, growling into the air. Her thoughts were running frantic as she paced quick enough across the carpet of her dorm to wear a hole in the space.

She cursed herself immediately for her train-of-thought and walked towards the door. She couldn’t stay here alone.

But as her hand curled around the door knob to open it she paused. Where would she go?

She thought back to Deigo. Her fingers tightened around the door knob. It was just so ...complicated. She just wanted it to not be...

She wanted...

She needed...

She froze.

Nyla’s stance straightened as her head raised and eyes widened with her realization. And she yanked her door open and she headed out of the room with a newfound determination.

She knew exactly what she needed.

***

Cameron raises his hands over his miniature paper craft creatures. Watched with narrowed eyes as the paper models of a dragon began to shift and his fingers began to tingle.

The tingling increased and swirls of blue swam down his hand in strings. He held his breath and raised up the tip of his index struggling to not break the energy tie, as he puppeteered them.

He desperately tried to contain his excitement as he watches them begin to animate.

Cameron’s jaw clenched as he forced the energy down his arm. He tried to concentrate, but as the blue wings began to flap and the green scales of his mini mermaid began to glimmer, his mind drifted to the thought of another pretty green thing. And before long flashes of vivid fiery emerald orbs glittered in his memory and he couldn’t help but sigh.

And, then yelp as pain took over.

He cursed as his tingling fingers began to burn and lit in blue hued flames and he shook his hand furiously to put out the magical fire. Fuck. Dammit.

Everytime he thought of her. Her dark brown curly hair. Her sexy little smirk. Her eyes that seemed to peel him open by just glancing him...

He closed his eyes and shook his head. He raised his hands again and started again with the energy transfer, watching as his blue strings of magic brought the creatures to life. Even then as they animated, he couldn’t stop thinking of Nyla.

After all that had happened the fact that he couldn’t get his mind off her was insane. He couldn’t even focus on his main Energy Control project.

Surely she didn’t want to be alone right now. Not after everything. Seeing her face after it happened. He didn’t want her ever looking that scared every again. He knew that with all his heart. He wanted to keep her safe. Protect her.

But they were so damn different. Where his idea of breaking the rules was practical jokes and fucking around in class, she was... all in. All the time, all she ever did was run head first into trouble and it killed him all of time. Wondering how the hell he’d live up to the life style she was use to. How he’d protect her. So aggressive and brutish in their animalistic nature. Fucking Martyrs. Wolves were so different. They were so different.

‘But so were his creatures.’

He stared down at the paper crafts on his desk and watched as the mermaid ran her fingers across the new glimmering spikes on the dragon. Watched as the baby creature practically purred and butted his head into sea creatures webbed tiny fingers cause her to titter.

If he could get them to co-exist, then he could win Nyla over. No matter what she said.

He straighten his spine, taking several calming anxious breaths in the mirror and prepared himself.

He could do this. He could convince her they could be together. Sure he could.

Before he could let his anxiety over take his will to try, he headed for the door ripping it open and slamming straight into a haze of frizzy dark brown almost-black hair and big green eyes. Nyla.

He stumbled to a stop and took a large step back in time to see the flustered cheeks and raised knuckle to knock of a Miss Nyla Romero. He couldn’t help the large smile that began to bloom on his face and he opens his mouth to speak,

“Nyla-!” “I was just-“

They spoke at the same time and they both fell silent, with rosy cheeks. The only difference between the two was Cameron’s shy grin that was only growing and the brunette embarrassed scowl that was also growing.

“You.. you were coming to see me?” Cameron finally said after seconds that felt like hours of silence.

“No.” Nyla answered quickly her nose scrunching revealing her obvious lie. She cursed herself as she felt the blush darkening and her face heating as the look on Cameron’s face turned amused.

“Liar.”

“Shut up.”

“Nyla, if you wanted to see me-“ Cameron began smirking. Which quickly fell as he watched Nyla turning on her heels, “I’m leaving!”

Shit.

“Shit shit shit.” Cameron panicked as he watched her begin to leave and he snapped his finger holding her in place. Realizing his mistake the moment he heard her threatening growl.

He let her go immediately and flinched when she turned back to look at him, the look on her face murderous.

“Nyla-“

“Did you just bewitch me in place? Me? You did that to me?” Nyla walked toward him menacingly and he stepped back into the door of his room. “Do I look like Reagan?”

“No!” Cameron wanted to punch himself in face. He couldn’t just pull that shit with Nyla. Him and Reagan had the type of relationship. The type where he could just pull her headfirst into trouble and he just knew she’d forgive him cause he knew she really wanted to actually live on the edge a bit and just needed a friendly shove.

But Nyla wasn’t Reagan. He couldn’t just ... force his hand on Nyla. He knew that. She’d jump right in all on her own.

“No, I don’t think you’re Reagan. I’m sorry I fucked up.” He stumbled in his room and gestured her inside, “Please just stay.”

He held his breathe preparing for her to tell him to fuck himself and letting out a heavy breath of relief when she nodded tersely and stepped inside, as he slowly closed the door beside her.

He stared at the door unable to turn around and fully acknowledge that the one of the most beautiful girls he’s ever seen was just standing in his room. His mind ran wild thinking of the possibility and he absolutely wanted to smash his skull against the wall.

“What’s this?” He heard Nyla say behind him and he turned to find Nyla leaning over his desk peering closely over his creatures. He pulled her back just fast enough to stop the dragon from blowing a baby bursting air of fire in her face.

Her eyes widened in shock.

The dragon was real?! She watched the small mermaid purse her lips at her and wave her little tail clearly frustrated with Nyla having set off the dragon. She turned back to look at the boy who’s hands still hadn’t removed themselves from her hips.

Just how powerful was this witch?

Cameron laughed sheepishly and pulled back when he realized he was awkwardly feeling up her sides. He rubbed his neck embarrassed and look to side, “Sorry those were just some paper crafts I made in my energy transfer class.”

Nyla’s eyes furrowed as she looked back the creatures on the table. “They seem very much alive for paper mâché.”

Cameron smiled nervously, but widely at her, “Yeah that’s the point of the class. To transfer energies from various levels of magic into different vessels. It’s pretty cool actually. It’s like being a puppet master. But with real living thing. Well after you animate them that is. It actually takes a lot of concentration and you have to focus all the energy in through your arms from your energy core? Think of it sort of like axon in your neurons, it appears in a blue light that sort of tickles and-“

He stops when he sees Nyla smirking at him and realize oh he’s doing that thing where he spits facts and information a mile a minute when he’s nervous.

“Sorry I’m rambling,” He whispered stopping. And she smirked whispering back, “Its kinda cute.”

His eyes widened in shock. Did she just-?

“What?”

She raised a mischievous brow at him that makes his stomach flutter and chest tighten and looks away at another area in the room, not answering his question. He heats up the moment he seems where she’s looking and sees her posturing from one leg to the other.

“Oh! Oh god! I’m a terrible host!” He quickly rushes to the bed, forgetting his own question as he hastily begins straightening it and grabbing the loose clothing still on it. Rolling it into a ball in his hands and shoving in into the hamper in his messy wardrobe which he quickly closes when he seems her watching him. He leans back on it casually ignoring the digging of the metal into his back.

“Nothing to see here! You can sit down actually! I am so sorry.” His lips twist to the side as shuffles embarrassed feeling like a child in front of her, when Nyla has yet to say a word apart from chuckling at him.

He’s surprised when she does walk towards his bed without complaint.

“Cameron relax,” She takes a seat on his now straightened bed and pats the comforter beside her. He rushes to it sitting immediately upon being asked and closed his eyes again think of how much he’s acting like a dog. He opens them to the sound of her giggling and he can’t even be bothered to be embarrassed when he seems the lightening in her jade colored eyes and her soft smile.

“You’re never boring, you know that?” Nyla peers at his for the corner of her eyes still laughing. “Now keep nerding out. Why did you pick a mermaid and dragon? Those are really random choices.”

Cameron laughs finally relaxing as Nyla begins to tease him back, “You want the truth,” he leans forward mysteriously watching as Nyla looks at him head on in anticipation. “I’m really good at Dragon Origami.” He whispered into her ear and doesn’t miss as she rolls her eyes, and tries to force a smile down.

“Cam.”

“Honestly!”

“Cameron!” Nyla laughs in disbelief, “C’mon. You’re a loser, but you’re not that much of a loser.”

“First of all I’m all sorts of loser,” He smiles as he watches her laugh again, wanting the be able to continue to make her look this happy and stressed free forever.

“Second, yeah. I guess you’re sort of right.” He looks at the creatures on the desk. “I don’t know I just, Dragons just represent courage. The chinese think they’re evil creatures but it’s a spiritual magic sense they’re just, strength and balance. People think mermaids are evil too and we don’t know much about them anymore, but there are tales of mermaids promising protection. And mermaids are just messengers for water. And in witch culture, water is... a form of life, and emotions. You know moon and the tides and all that.” He blushes thinking of how much of a nerd he must literally sound like. He continues anyways, cause as he sees her encouraging nod, “I don’t know I guess it’s just sort of cool to bring to life two creatures that are looked at as evil or scary, but really represent such pure things and just.. bring them together. I’m sorry! This is lame, I’m being lame.”

Ignoring him, Nyla stares at the creatures now with newfound eyes, “It is very cool actually.” She tilts her in thought, “But they’re so..” Nyla trails off staring at the creatures.

“Different? Yeah they are. But look at them. Opposites sort of just attract, you know. It’s kinda cool.” He looks at her seeing her already looking at him with unreadable eyes piercing eyes and a line of electricity runs through his core as he continued, “Maybe if we’d stop second guessing relationships cause of their differences, we’d get something really beautiful.”

He pauses for a second before continuing, “Like you.” Cameron smiling as he watches her roll her eyes, “Nice line Casanova.”

He watched her cheeks flush not for the first time that night since she’s come to him and he knows despite her snark what he’s said affected her. He looks as her eyes turn slightly sad and wry soon i. the next moment after a silence lulls the air and he’s reminded that she came looking to his door looking like that. Looking for him. Him.

Not Diego. Not Mackenzie or Reagan. Not even Xavier. She came to him.

He doesn’t want to mess this up.

“Angel,” He stops as she snorts at the pet name. “Why’d your come to see me?” He pauses thinking about his wording and tries again, “Not that I don’t love that you’re here. Is it... Is it what happened? Do you need..? Are you-?“

“I’m fine.” She says cutting him off looking away, but he’s already seen her eyes. Seen the wet vulnerability and his chest aches seeing that. He should’ve never listened to Xavier. Brother or Troop-Leader be damned, Nyla shouldn’t have been alone.

“Tell me the truth Nyla. You can always talk to me you know that.” She continued not to answer looking at her own shaking hands and he just knows. The mission.

He reached his hand out to touch her hesitantly. “Nye?”

“How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?” She whispers standing, crossing her arms as if to protect herself.

She couldn’t fake toughness now. Nothing in the world would’ve made him believe it. Not after seeing the vulnerability in her eyes.

He slid hand along her hips to the empty belt loop of her black jeans. He drummed his fingers on her side while her stared up at her earnestly, and then she least expected it her tugged her down.

“Fuck!” Nyla yelps as she’s unexpectedly in his lap. She looks up shocked at a flustered, yet determined Cameron. “What are you doing?”

“I don’t know, but I’m doing it,” He glares back at her. The look on Cameron’s always smiling face was one so incredibly amusing Nyla could help her shocked bark of laugher. “Okay thats totally fair,” She said staring at his chest. Her small smile slowly died when she looked up to see his still serious mocha eyes peering at her.

She sighed taking his hands off her hips and toying with the tips of his fingers to avoid looking at him. His grip reversed in her palm and seriously grasped her hand to her attention.

“Nyla. What is it? What did you need?”

Her face was unreadable. To him, anyways. He didn’t think he’d ever know her as well as Diego did and the thought of that made his blood boil and pressure rise in his chest. He wanted to. He wanted to learn every inch of her inside and out. He didn’t want to guess what she was feeling, When she was feeling, he wanted to know. He sighed as she continued to stare down at his hand, not responding. He didn’t think he ever would though. Not from the way things were going.

She looked down at his hand and before he could pull away and apologize for being so forceful as of late, she did something that shocked him. She intertwined their fingers. He gasped as her fingers tightened in his and he brought his hand close to her lips. Not kissing them but putting them close enough that he could feel her softness brushing against his knuckles. His knuckles that were frozen in shock.

He continued to watch as ducked her head in a move so unlike her usual ballsy confidence, her hair blocking her eyes and pillowing her tinted cheeks as she mumbled, “I need you.”

She looked up at him this time with eyes swimming determinedly, looking like a shark ready to eat or challenge his prey, either one, if he said the wrong thing. She didn’t have to worry. He couldn’t seem to make himself speak. He couldn’t form anything anything right now his mouth dry and heart in his throat as beautiful, achingly beautiful green eyes stared him naked, yet again.

She spoke against, this time staring him head on and speaking too clearly for him to mistake what she said.

“I need you, Cameron.”

A/N: I know.. I know... CLIFF HANGER. Lmao not that it matters I don’t know how much any of you guys know what’s going on. But yes. One of my story possible couples had a moment. This is sorta... a very mid story scene. But it’s an integral part of the story that came to my mind that I just wrote. Anywhore, please much like the last one ... I wantttt people to tell me if they liked this. Comment to me and stuff. Private message me. Anon me. Or public message me. Just... idk this was a step I think? Lmao. To post this out there. Or atleast I hope it was. So thoughts? Hate? Love? Confused? Questions? I’m here!!!

Thoughts on Sofia the First Part 1:

I wrote these almost every time I watched an episode but I’m just going to post the more ‘meaningful’ ones out here. Only the episodes that I care or got mad about will be featured. I know it’s late and I should have posted these every time I finished a season but it took a week to convince myself just to post this since the finale is today. It will be divided into 5 parts and maybe an additional sixth part if I feel like talking about Forever Royal.

Season 1

Sofia the First Once Upon a Princess

Not a bad pilot. I could barely remember the whole thing so this is basically still new to me. Suddenly becoming a royal must be a huge culture shock for Sofia though shouldn’t Miranda also have a hard time? She probably took lessons or something, maybe it’s also because she’s a full grown woman? Idk.

I like how it showed Sofia struggling in trying to keep up and it doesn’t help that Amber was sabotaging her. Also hearing the good ol’ Mr. Ceedric brings back memories. I feel like I’m gonna have a lot of second hand embarrassment for Cedric in the future eps.

I personally like Cinderella's advice and song for Sofia and how she and Amber patched things up. A good introduction to the series.

Just One of the Princes

The usual girls can’t do boy’s things just because they’re girls. The song’s catchy and everyone’s voices are good, especially Amber’s. Minimus is amusing and I’d like to see him again and judging by them being in the derby I probably will. I also kinda hoped that Sofia wouldn’t actually win because she never rode a horse let alone a flying one in her life and didn’t have enough practice time. But since this is a kid’s show (Get ready to hear this a lot) she just had to win.

Winning isn’t everything and I wish they showed that and still praised Sofia for trying to make a change, maybe then she and Minimus will just have to practice more for next year. My favorite moments were Amber supporting Sofia, getting worried for her and giving her derby tiara to her sister as a prize.

The Big Sleepover

I don’t have much to say for this ep. I’m loving Amber’s singing. Ruby and Jade annoyed me a bit but I’m starting to like Clio. Glad that they showed a different personality and not just cardboard cutouts of typical haughty princesses.

Cedric's Apprentice

This was the episode I remembered the most and still love, even more than when I first saw it. Cedric’s parents are fun, doing the devil angel thing. His song was nice, it explained the reason why he wants to take over the kingdom. It really shows that he has low self esteem. Even if this was the episode I remembered the most I forgot that he was pretty patient with Sofia when he taught her.

“Not every royal sorcerer can be as gifted as your father.”

That line was like a slap to the face. Roland...dude, the hell?

No wonder he has low self esteem. Even when I chuckled at Baileywick’s burn, that was still sad. Everyone seems to look down on him except Sofia.

Sofia leaving him rubies arranged into a heart, risking herself with the lizard potion and giving him a gold star gave me diabetes. I feel like magic’s going to be the princess’ forte. I’m seeing a beautiful friendship blooming and I don’t think Cedric’s truly evil, maybe this will go somewhere.

A Royal Mess

Another catchy song. Amber fanning was hilarious, as well as Cedric’s “Oh it wasn’t me your Majesty, it was the chiiildreeen.” The lesson was simple and nice.

The Shy Princess

Sadly it’s the typical approach of a shy girl but sorta done better. I like James’ and Zandar’s friendship and I want to know more about the adorable chinese princess. The way Sofia handled Vivian’s shyness was okay. Maybe the reason I thought it was mediocre was because not everyone is gifted or loves music as much as Vivian. I know music helps people deal with their stage fright. Heck, it helped me when performed onstage but what if music wasn’t her hobby? What then? Still, I find her interesting and I really want her to not be suddenly confident like she wasn’t shy at all in the future episodes she will be in.

The Princess Test

I love the song and I like how Amber gave Hildegard more confidence in herself but something about it doesn’t sit well with me and I don’t know why. Maybe I’m thinking too much into it like what if more than one helped Fauna? Would she have conjured up more books and more obstacles? Maybe it’s because of the way the fairies awarded everyone?

The Little Witch

This didn’t really sit well with me. Lucinda did a lot of harmful hexes and her being easily forgiven disturbed me. Jade has every right to not invite her. That witch should learn that there are consequences and not everyone can be forgiven so easily. Also where are the adults? If she has been doing this for a while then someone must have at least reported to the king or have done something. Still a kid’s show after all.

Two to Tangu

The first time we get to see another land and kingdom. Not gonna lie, that carpet also frustrated me. Amber’s ruffled hair is cute though. It was Sofia and Amber’s bonding moments that made this one gold.

Finding Clover

Clover I swear irritated me a lot and I hated the fact that the episode implied that it was Sofia’s fault too. She did nothing wrong and I just felt bad for her.I love how Sofia threatened the magician.

“I’ll go to the castle, I’ll get the guards. I’ll get my dad.”

I do like the lesson though, a pretty realistic moral.

The Amulet and the Anthem

I adore the Enchancian Anthem especially with their combined voices in the end. I also like how Ruby is more forgiving than Jade. Cedric was really fun in this episode. Belle’s song was nice and Sofia trying to sing along is cute.

Princess Butterfly

Another favorite episode. Amber’s character development is going well and I’m growing quite fond of her. Wormwood and his sorcerer playing checkers and them sleeping is precious. Cedric’s “NoOO.” and “I CAN’T imAgine what went wrONg.” was hysterical.

The costume is beautiful but I also love Sofia’s. Cedric manipulating Amber was also good, their interactions are amusing. I also find it funny that Sofia noticed Amber’s attempts on trying to get her amulet but not when Cedric does his schemes.

Sofia willing to to sacrifice her amulet for her sister and Amber realizing that she doesn’t deserve this was A content. It was so adorable when they leaned their heads on each other.

The Floating Palace

Sofia’s mermaid form is nice along with Oona and her family. I don’t mind Sven, he actually didn’t annoy me. The animation is improving, the water and clouds look amazing and I love Emily’s design. I also noticed that Cedric is more devious in his sea creature form? Wormwood as a small squid is cute.

Ariel used to be my favorite and seeing her again just hit me with nostalgia. Wow, Cedric actually tried drowning a child, maybe he gained animal instincts? The whole sequence with Emily stopping the storm was epic. I guess we’ll have more mermaid adventures in the future. It was a good special.

Holiday in Enchancia

A good holiday special. Wassalia’s one of my favorite songs and Amber hits those notes so right. I love all of the winter get ups except for Amber’s. For a fashionable princess, she surely has the most plain outfit of them all, they basically just made her usual dress darker but her coat makes it a bit better. I didn’t like the reason Aurora was summoned and I felt that her appearance was wasted. It was too short and didn’t have any real meaningful lessons. Sofia could’ve easily thought of that herself.

I do love that they gave their gifts to the children, especially Amber’s “We have enough presents.” My girl’s growing, I’m proud. It’s an uplifting episode.

55. favorite fairy tale? Oh gosh that is a difficult one.... I would probably go with... The little mermaid tho? But it changes depending my mood

57. the three biggest struggles you’ve overcome? Hmm.... That's a good one. Accepting who I am is one of them for sure. Standing up for myself ( I am better at it but still I could improve). Choosing my health over what I was expecting of myself. OVer my plans when I dropped out of uni

59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be? :O No idea, I don't feel I have any real catchphrase? I'D probably the sude character who curses a lot tho hahah

61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.? Again good one. There's so many. I love quotes. I'll go with... " We accept the love we think we deserve" from Perks of being a wallflower. I mean... It's true. Anyways... In my experience it is. When my self esteem was at its lowest.... I dumped my very good girlfriend cause I thought I didn't deserve her love. That she was too good for me.. To end up with a guy who was a violent narcissistic asshole... I didn't wanna leave him cause I thought that was exactly what I deserved that I could never do better. I did leave him in the end. but yeah...

63. five songs that would play in your club? - Dancing Queen by Abba -Poor Some Sugar on me - Def Leppard -Every Time We Touch - Cascada ( Don't judge I have good party memories with that song ahah ) - The Ketchup Song - Las Ketchup (Cause memories hahah) - Believe - Cher

65. any permanent scars? Loads ahah I have a big one on my back that almost goes from side to side from my heart surgery. I have one on my right side... again that surgery.

One on my ankle from whe I fell in the ditch when learning how to bike without the little wheels. One on my knee cause I am just that talented that I fall over nothing x) A new one on my hand from work... Seriously the list goes on hahha but I do have scars.

what's once on this island about?

i hope ur happy anon, bc this took me literally like six hours im not exaggerating even a little

short answer: so u take the original plot of the littlest mermaid and u plunk it down rIGHT in the middle of 1920s haiti, right

long answer (like, REALLY long answer. like REALLY long. im sorry i dont know how to summarize when there are so many good things):

“there is an island where rivers run deep…”

“where the sea, sparkling in the sun, earns it the name, ‘jewel of the antilles.’”

“an island where the poorest of peasants labor —”

“— and the wealthiest of the grand hommes lay.”

“two different worlds on one island!”

“the grand hommes, owners of the land and masters of their own fates.”

“and the peasants, eternally at the mercy of the wind and sea, would pray constantly to the gods.”

those are the four storytellers, beginning the play. lydia started the first line, then abby, then dori, then natalie, and repeat.

(oh yeah, also this is the jr version. also, i dont know everything bc i was backstage the majority of the time)

so the gods that the beach people / peasants are dancing to, theres 4 of them. asaka (played by lavanya in our production) is the goddess of the earth, erzulie (played by luke who’s closeted, so i change it to a god, erzulio) beautiful goddess of love. agwe (played by ian) is the god of the sea, and papa ge (eli, of course, and it’s literally pronounced papa gay), my personal favorite, is the sly demon of death

and this is all described in the first number “we dance”

stay tuned yo it gets better.

(its so good. dont ever listen to any version besides the chatham one i can guarantee you that any non-eli papa ge, any non-luke erzulie / erzulio, any non-lavanya asaka, any non-ian agwe, any non-lydia / dori / abby / natalie storyteller will not be as good)

so basically theres this storm, and in this storm is a little girl and the gods are like “no papa ge we’re not killing her you fuck” and they irresponsibly plunk her down in a tree

and so tonton julien (ben) and mama euralie (izzy) come along & are like “holy shit a kid” (and this girl is crying her eyes out of course bc as mr adam creatively put it to the girl who played young ti moune, “you were just dropped in a tree by some randos you’ve never seen before in your entire life”) but like theyre poor and dont have a lotta food and shit so they try to leave but the gods, showing some small modicum of responsibility, like, use the force to pull them back. so these peasants adopt ti moune and name her ti moune and theres a whole big number about her growing up called “one small girl” which i quite like actually

then ti moune is grown up (sammie) and she sings about like “whats my destiny yo” all naive in “waiting for life” and sees a car which is a big ol lead-in to the next number. which brings us to

so in the beginning of “rain” theres this HILARIOUS section of dialogue with the gods picking mangos and here it is bc i cant not include it man

asaka: 🎵 pick a mango! 🎵

agwe: 🎵 a juicy mango! 🎵

erizulie: 🎵 a lovely mango! 🎵

papa ge, being Himself: 🎶 a poison mango! 😈 🎶

[all of the other gods look at papa ge]

anyway, after that theyre all proposing things to do to get ti moune less naive, with such wonderful suggestions from these dumbasses as “splash her with a wave” and “scare her half to death”. and then erzulie is like “yeah u do that imma give her what she wants bye” and the other gods are like “????????????” and shes just like “You Heard Me” and just goes like “Love Can Conquer Anything!!!!!!! :)))))))) ❤️💞💕💚💛💙💜💝💘💗💖❣️” and papa ge is like “that’s bullshit this whole thing is bullshit that’s a scam fuck the love here’s like two reasons why” and they argue (and asaka remarks that this is “more amusing than mangos”) and the gods are all “HMMMM🤔🤔” and then they all go “A BET!”

and the gods all start like pitching in to set up this bet, so like erzulie gives her strength and asaka’s gonna guide her but then papa ge interrupts like “IM GONNA MAKE HER CHOOSE” and then johnny boy i mean ian i mean agwe then calls dibs on choosing the circumstances of the bet

and u remember that car right? well ian agwe is like “that. thats the place where the 2 worlds meet” and he creates a big ol storm and in the song he says (one of my favorite lines, actually) “rain makes the road such a dangerous place” (he did amazing in that song but i feel kinda bad bc like. he was overshadowed by the other gods who are all incredible singers, and parts of it were too low for him. like, eli can sing as high as he did, but ian really cant sing that low)

also they used the fish flags from the seussical two years ago when sammie’s sister sidne played the cat in the hat. i always found it hilarious that dori of all people they couldve chosen played a fish

ANYWAY. so the car is goin down the road and crash oh no a car accident. totally not what agwe was (shot)gunning for

and so ti moune pulls this guy outta the car right, and — by the way, now we’re in this super intense number called “pray” — and this song is real fuckin good alright.

my opinion upon this is based almost solely on the fact that within the first like ten lines of this epically long song a peasant, talking about the guy that got pulled outta the car (daniel, that’s his name), says, literally: “papa ge wants him!” i will remind you that papa ge is pronounced “papa gay” and what makes it even more astronomically fuckin funny is that both hank, the guy that played daniel, and eli, who as u may know played papa ge, are mlm.

anyway no one wants to help daniel even tho he’s Actively Dying bc Fuck The Grand Hommes, Am I Right Guys We Cant Do Anything Were Peasants And There Is Sanctity That We Must Never Talk To Look At Or Think About A Single Grand Homme, Ever™ but ti mounes gonna help him bc Fuck You Guys and she keeps him alive while tonton julien goes to find the guys family after she’s Finally persuaded the guy to do this

and ti moune doesnt sleep for Three Fucken Days by the way. thats important in the next number

also daniel is supposed to be good looking so of course ti moune Falls In Love With Him despite never having seen him before in her entire life, and also hes unconcious the Whole time. i dont understand the heterosexuals

anyway, tonton juliens at the gate to daniels family hotel and he’s like “pls let me in i need to speak to monsieur beausome!” and the gatekeepers like “get the fuck away my guy” and hes like “no but its urgent!!” and the gatekeeper SLAPS BEN [LAST NAME REDACTED]*

so ben i mean tonton recovers and like seriously gets down on his knees and begs and the gatekeeper is still like “FUCK! NO!” and then ben fucking [last name redacted]* SCREAMS SAVAGELY “I HAVE FOUND HIS SON!” HOO BOY

and then at the end of pray you hear a long high note and then one specific girl takes it HIGHER ????????? idk who it is for sure but im willing to put my money on lavanya bc jesus christ can that girl sing

*people always say bens full name when referring to him for some reason, so it’s not ben bc which ben? it’s not ben b. it’s ben [last name redacted].

so pray goes ge STRAIGHT into forever yours. not the reprise, thats later.

so. forever yours. in a STUNNING turn of events (sarcasm. absolutely the least stunning thing after the whole “papa gay wants him” in pray), the VERY fucking FIRST LINE IN THIS WHOLE FUCKING STUPID HEARTFELT SONG is literally ti moune saying “i am a tree, holding away the storm”. are you fucking serious. are you kidding me. you waste the first line on that monstrosity,

anyway basically what happens in this is ti moune is singing about tending to daniel here it is

i am a tree holding away the stormhere in my arms i’ll keep u safe and warmeven the gods wont dare to cross this linewhere my life is forever yoursand you are mine

and on that last word, “mine”, papa ge joins in and it is fuckin CHILLING, not LEAST bc eli has the voice of a fuckin angel (and sammie too, but i think eli’s is just slightly better)

so eli stalks in and the first thing papa ge does, in a True demonstration of the gay / ge agenda, is Drag The Het.

(then he goes on to say “this boy is mine”)

so eli’s also got a knife (a fake one) and this is another Important Thing so yeah

anyway sammie ti moune should “TAKE MINE FOR HIS.” (her life she meant) and papa ge is SHOOK. he just … stops. “wot”

so yeah. ti moune, in one of The most IMPRESSIVE displays of heterosexual tomfoolery and ridiculousness i have Yet Seen (scene), trades her life for this Complete Fuckin Stranger she pulled out of the car wreck whomst has not as of yet spoken a Single word to her bc HE’S BEEN UNCONSCIOUS THE WHOLE TIME!?

and heres another good line, the first gay daddy nico diangelo himself eli papa gay papa ge has had since “wot”: i am the road / leading to no return

(and this is also where eli goes REALLY high. like not for basically everyone else, but for him)

then daniels two dads apparently, grant and hugh, pick him up and take him back to the hotel and ti moune is like “NOOOOOOO” and makes mama and tonton let her leave to go find daniel, and frankly i am not very interested in this specific part of the song so fuck that i skipped it lmao lets get to lavanyas fuckin SOLO

alright. “mama will provide”. exactly what it says on the tin, taking it into account that asaka would be mother earth i guess

really all this one is is lavanya’s fuckin angelic voice and What Exists In Nature, and i cant very well put lavanya’s voice down on the page for yinz to hear can i? the only notable thing i can really think of besides this next piece a dialogue will share w u is in the beginning theres a bunch of ensemble doing weird repeating acapella and some hopping in like frogs. “COO COO coo coo cOO COO COOO” “SHAH shaSHA-ah” “buuuuu BUM! BUM! bum” its sounds slightly weirder than it is

anyway here’s the best dialogue:

everyone: MOSQUITOS??

asaka: HA!

ACT TWO HERE WE FUCKIN GO ALRIGHT

ok, so ti moune finds daniel who doesnt know who she is bc, you know, he was unconscious the entire time. she gets him to know she was the one who nursed him tho. and they go to the front of the stage and ti moune sits and daniel puts his head on her lap. again, poor hank

now, “human heart”. jesus. i have literally cried over this song.

so erzulie goes out on stage to where hank is slowly suffering, probably, and sings this GODS DAMN BEAUTIFUL SONG about like, love n shit i guess. the storytellers and the other three gods act as a sort of choir. that’s pretty much all there is to say about human heart tho. moving on

ok so for “pray (reprise)” the gossipers (which are apparently supposed to be the storytellers, but fuck that thats lame, give my Cool Hoes lianna and taylor parts tbh) go out on stage and sing about how daniel is spending all his time w a peasant and shes a witch and yadda yadda yadda. and then theres some lame romance shit that i dont have fuckin time for

anyway, the song culminates with daniel’s father comin out on stage (lmao). which father, u ask? he had two of em? well that was grant and hugh, this one’s iain. conclusion: daniel has three polyamorous gay dads. this is the gayest production of a play ive ever seen. i mean papa ge? “papa ge wants him”? the fact that tonton means uncle so mama euralie and tonton julien arent married? “this boy is mine” coming from daddy gay himself? the fact that daniels last name means beautiful man? the “beautiful god of love” (as luke said, refusing to misgender himself in his introduction U GO LUKE)? the fact that out of the main cast (the 4 gods, the 4 storytellers, daniel, ti moune, andrea, mama euralie, and tonton julien) there are literally eight (8) actors who Arent straight (id bet that two others arent str8 and or / cis as well but im not sure)? just change daniel to danielle and itll be perfect

ayway daniel’s 3rd dad comes out on stage and tells him to stop this nonsense, young man ANYWAY NEXT SONG

in “some girls” the rich guys at the hotel all are doing a really lame colorless boring dance. then this girl andrea (ava) comes out and sings about the rumors about ti moune, that she’s stupid or wild, and daniel tells her to stop, then ti moune arrives and andrea really condescendingly asks her to dance for everyone and daniel encourages ti moune

so ti moune does a slow lame dance and then it gets loud and wild and fun! then when she’s done andrea goes to daniel and is like “she’s in love with you you oblivious fuck if you care at all you’ll tell her —” (unclear about what he’s caring about) and andrea is interrupted by ti moune who’s like “HI I HEARD MY NAME WHATCHA WANT ANDREA” and daniel goes and breaks her fuckin heart right

how he does this is he’s like “oops sorry i thought u would realize that we could never marry bc andrea and i are already engaged (since we were babies)”. daniel demonstrates an amazing amount of calmness about being forced to marry this girl he’s known all his life, and an incredible amount of insensitiveness bc TI MOUNE WAS NEVER FUCKIN TOLD THAT HE WAS ENGAGED. honestly i loathe literally every single character in this play except for the gods and the storytellers lmao

OK NOW FOR MY FAVORITE FUCKIN ONE WOW :~)

the reprise of forever mine.

so. ti moune is alone on stage and she goes like “gods please are u listening help me” and then. u hear. eli’s fucking amazing evil laugh and the gay himself appears

and he’s like u gotta keep ur promise ti moune im here to collect on that Soul

did i mention elis voice is beautiful? no i dont care, im sayin it again, eli [last name redacted] has the voice of an angel

anyway he’s like “u gave him ur soul, now u have to PAY” (the line he used here is “i am the price you’ll pay” and that sounds cool as shit)

and so “father homosexual,” as he was dubbed by luke, takes out his knife and sings “your life is forever mine” and holds the knife to ti mounes neck and ti moune yells “PLEASE DONT” and and and

he stops.

“trade your life for his.”

so papa ge gives her the knife and tells her to go stab daniel and he sings “i am the road that leads to no return” as he walks to the left side of the stage, and erzulie appears at the right side and sings human heart as papa ge continues with his verse from the first forever mine as ti moune struggles towards and away from daniel, straining, being pulled by opposite forces, love and death, and the two unite in singing “forever mine!” and ti moune casts the knife to the floor and screams “NO!”

and the music stops

and daniel sees the knife and picks it up

and says “why?!”

(fuckin bitch shoulda stabbed him when she had the chance)

and ti moune gets cast out and like, withers away at the gate neither eating nor sleeping, and then daniel comes to the gate with andrea at his wedding and sees ti moune and gives her a coin when she runs after him, and she collapses and the gods, sOMEHOW GAINING SOME MINISCULE VIEW OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR FUCKIN ACTIONS, all start CRYING. (erzulie won the bet) and erzulie hugs ti moune and papa ges probably off somewhere feeling sorry for himself bc you cant fuckin see him in the footage (nah, he’s off at the side of the stage with the other two gods neither of whomst you can see either), and mama euralie comes to sing this sad and pretty number “part of us” and then tonton and baby ti moune arrive as well for some fuckin reason,

and mama euralie says,

“and then the gods blessed her and turned her into —”

and then the gods hit their staffs on the floor (ian a bit gentlier bc his was falling apart bc he wouldnt stop fucking licking the fucking ribbons, ian) “a tree!”

and the tree comes up, forwards this time thankfully (phew) and and the tree fuckin cracks the walls of the hotel, get rekt scrubs, and the tree fuckin stalks daniel i guess, and daniels son sits by the tree and looks up and theres a peasant girl in its branches, and ti moune touches everyones hearts and also their livers, and everyone starts singing “why we tell the story”

also, fun story real quick, ive never actually seen eli dab i dont think (that’s something i need to accomplish real soon), and the dance he went off to the side and did with like, lydia, and agwe and ben [last name redacted] and daniels son and hugh — i guess all the boys in musical theater and also lydia, and the dance they have to do looks pretty damn like dabbing, and like, eli’s holding his staff so he cant do a true dab, really, but he can do a one armed one — but no. his dancing looks more like fuckin waving. ben [last name redacted] is dabbing, daniels son is dabbing, im like 80 percent sure ian’s dabbing directly behind eli, gloria’s dabbing in the back, but no, nOT ELI. im pretty sure he’s deliberately avoiding it smh

anyway

whOOP exciting parts over. now it’s time for Sad Half Circle Around Tree Girl i guess

“the stories that we weave,” and the storytellers and daniel’s son and the peasant girl in tree moune’s branches all come to the front and —

“there is an island where rivers run deep…”

Kdrama recs

some kdrama recs and just my thoughts. Scroll to ending for only names of the kdramas

Most of these kdramas are fairly new and the actors are fairly young (no lead over 30) because that’s just my taste in kdramas...?

Strong woman Do Bong Soon

10/10 would recommend, funny af, Park hyung sik is our favorite extra™ smol bean and Park Bo young is our favorite superhero who puts a lot of people in the hospital (it’s okay though). And then there’s Jisoo who’ll make us cry once again bc he just always does (I didn’t actually cry though but a lot of other people did)

EXTRA:

Most fluffy romantic dates ever?

Transexuell character who steals every scene? (He’s only in the last episodes though :(((()(he says “I’m a lady!” once)

Gay characters?

(commenters on viki are hilarious af btw)

Pinocchio

Favorite series ever bc my tears are still streaming down my face. Strongly recommend. Everyone should watch this show, especially if you want a good cry. I swear to god, I cried three times during just the first episode and I NEVER cry during the first episode

Lee Jong Suk is perfect as always and plays a witty character with high IQ and Park Shin Hye is just Park Shin Hye, there’s nothing more to say about that. Addictive af.

(I think there was only 2 episodes where I didn’t cry)

Doctor stranger

Lee Jung Suk is back again(bc he’s my favorite actor so just deal with it) and once again you’ll probs cry during the first episode. This series kinda throws you through an emotional rollercoaster and is highly addictive (aren’t all kdramas though??)

Lee Jong suk plays Park Hoon who escapes from North korea after having been captured (?) there for most of his youth, during his time there he was thought to become a surgeon and then shit happens. The surgeries (even though fake) will probably leave you with goosebumps ad tears

(His hair during the time when he’s finally back in south korea is amazing and I support it 100% but please don’t fight me on this bc i’m not very strong)

This show is really good but i don’t really like the ending, but still really worth the time!

Small tip: Don’t eat while watching (I did, but whatever)

The Heirs

First kdrama I ever watched and i was forever hooked. This is the typical rich boy, poor girl kdrama with a love triangle and second lead syndrome and maybe you’ll cry because of it. Don’t forget the awkward (but precious) english and the wrist graps. Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye and Kim Woo Bin are in it and do you really have to say more? And Park Hyung Sik is also in it and his role is funny af and i love him, and then there’s CNBlue’s Kang Min Hyuk who plays an adorable character who deserves more recognition

This show is either super angsty or pure crack depending on how you see it.

~ LooOOvEEeeE iS ThEe MooOOMEEEEEEEEEEenT~

The Legend Of The Blue Sea

i’m still laughing and crying and everything else because here you once again got an amazing show and amazing characters and wow, I love this series sooooo much. If you like mermaids, fate and conmen then this is the show for you. Here we have Lee Min Ho who is more amazing than usual (and his hair is probably at it’s peak in this series according to me) and then we have Jun Ji Hyun who’s brilliant in her acting (as expected) and we also have CROSS GENE’s Shin Won Ho who plays a nerdy quiet hacker and i absolutely love him in this series

I know i’m bad at reviews but just watch this show

School 2015: Who are you

This show…. Just, prepare for the biggest second lead syndrome ever. This show also has bullying, and a suicide attempt while also having a mystery. It’s still a high school drama though. The first episodes are really addictive but i’m still kinda mad about the ending, it’s still worth watching of course. Here you’ll also find BtoB’s Yook Sung Jae, and let me just tell you; He’ll make you cry. The lead is Kim So Hyun and she is amazing, and there’s also Nam Joo Hyuk.

tbh, I don’t really remember much of this series, it’s good but it’s not the best

Page turner

Okay, so this series is perfect if you want some drama during just a short time. It’s only three episodes long but manages to still be amazing. Ji Soo plays his role outstanding, like, he’s just amazing in this series, and it’s really different from all his other works. Then there’s once again Kim So Hyun in the lead who plays a piano player who comes in an accident. Shin Jae Ha holds the last main and some people don’t like his character in this drama but i’m still kinda crying because of him??

Cheer up! (Sassy Go Go)

Okay, so I liked this series, it’s certainly not the best according to me but still totally worth the watch. It’s a cheerleader drama but it deals with some heavy issues, that can be portrayed a bit wrongly, I still think they did an amazing work with dealing with them, but if you watch on viki, then don’t have comments on in the end because they’re kinda horrible.

This show made me cry, not as much as Pinocchio or Doctor stranger but still. The second lead syndrome is kinda big in this one as well. We have Jung Eun Ji, Lee Won Keun and Ji Soo in the leads and then there’s also Vixx’s N.

The show contains self harm and an attempted suicide.

---

since i’m still new to kdrama i haven’t been able to finish anymore than these (I started watching around a month ago and this up here is literally around 100 hours so don’t judge me too much) here’s a list of all the other kdramas i’ve started but not finished

My love from the star

Aliens and amazing, perfect leads

Suspicious partner

Okay, so this show is amazing and you should already be watching it, it’s on air right now

I hear your voice

Really good, Lee Jong Suk is in it so what do you expect

School 2013

So this is Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jong Suk and it’s supposed to have the best bromance ever witnessed in the history of kdramas so give it a try

W - Two worlds

This one is really interesting and once again we have Lee Jong Suk who plays a cartoon character in a famous webtoon, but when the creator tries to kill off Lee Jong Suk’s characters life shit happens. This one is actually kinda sad as well but it’s also really really funny

Orange marmalade

Vampires if you like that (I didn’t but I didn’t give it a real chance)

Good Doctor

This show is definitely worth the watch, it’s painful to watch, not because it’s bad, but because the main character deals with Autism while trying to be a doctor. It’s a very sad story as far as I’ve watched it, but it’s really wonderful

Healer

So this one is really good if you like action, i’ve almost finished it so just give this one a try

Descendants Of The Sun

Military and doctors, this series is really good and emotional. The leads are also really good.

The Best Hit

Also still on air, good series but kinda cracky? One of the leads are an old (but young) kpop idol and one of them is a trainee who doesn’t succeed. But he has rap in an episode which is perfect and i’m not sure of many times i replayed it

Moorim school

This one is kinda good but i cringed too much that i kinda gave up, it’s still good though and it’s a fantasy story I guess, and one of the main leads are Vixx’s Hongbin so worth checking out

Goblin

Okay so this one is a story you should actually really check out since a lot of people love it, I wasn’t the biggest fan though but I didn’t really give it a real chance

Yong Pal

Loved the beginning, once again there’s doctors but not really doctors, and i absolutely adored the first five episodes but then it got kinda dragged out and i had school and everything, but also totally worth checking out, it’s good, i promise

Doctors

this one was a bit confusing and I didn’t even finish the first episode but it’s worth checking out, Park Shin Hye is in it so…

Cheese In The Trap

I got stalker vibes from it but a lot of people love it, so check it out

Blood

Also vampires but I don’t really know much more than that

Innocent Man

This one is about revenge i think, but i’m not sure as always, didn’t watch much of it

Dream High idk

kinda liked the beginning but became bored, is about trainees i guess but there’s also drama and shit

Hi! school: Love on

didn’t finish the first episode but it’s an angel in it I think, I don’t really remember anything
