My Personal Hashira 🍆 Size Ranking

Warning: if it ain’t obvious, this contains smut lmao — therefore Muichiro is 100% not included in this. We’re talking about 🍆, length, girth, all the fun stuff. So if PPs make you uncomfortable keep on scrolling babes </3

A/N: these low key stress me out cause I feel like people can get pretty defensive over these types of Headcanons. Especially if my own thought differs from yours. Regardless, these are just my personal takes/HCs. My word is not law so do not be upset if my HC does not match yours / don’t feel the need to change how you HC these things to fit my POV. This is why I refrain from describing size in my fics, I want y’all to imagine it in a way that you like lololol

Lastly, idgaf if you see some of this as unrealistic, these are fake, fictional drawings of men, if I wanna give Gyomei a 44ft long 🍆, I can and will (I didn’t but you get the point.) Anyways enjoy my personal thoughts on this matter

1. Himejima Gyomei

Is anyone fucking shocked that this 7’2 (220cm) man is packing the biggest schlong among the male Hashira?

I mean let’s be logical real quick, his dick is as big as the rest of him. This man’s dick is dragging on the floor.

Soft: 11.2

Hard: 12.3

Call it unrealistic idgaf this man is LONG

Girthy too, he’s fucking beefy all over

This man’s dick will feel like he’s shoving his wrist up in there ong bro

It curves downward slightly when hard, I mean shit that thing is heavy, it stands no chance against gravity

2. Uzui Tengen

Again, the man is 6’6 (198cm).

Height comes into play when it comes to our two tank Hashira

Therefore none of you should be surprised that they are the top two

Soft: 9

Hard: 10.3

Your guts are getting rearranged, he knows the length he has but often underestimates how far he can go…

He’s long but doesn’t have a crazy girth to him, which thank fuck it doesn’t take as much prep to take him

He’s pretty straight when hard and manages to flex it and keep it up (he totally does dick tricks & you can’t convince me otherwise)

3. Tomioka Giyu

I’m standing by my “big dick Giyu” head canon. I just know this man is packing a weapon down there

What’s crazy is he wasn’t even aware of how good he had it until he overheard other corps members chatting

Soft: 6.3

Hard: 7.4

He’s got a decent girth and as weird as it may sound, it’s pretty, like really pretty to look at

When hard, it curves upwards and stands at attention which makes him a bit embarrassed

He knows how to use it, because of that he’s pretty confident in that aspect which is wild for him

He will also rearrange your guts unintentionally (or intentionally hehe)

4. Shinazugawa Sanemi

I don’t wanna hear one PEEP from any of you that Sanemi should be above Giyu.

My man is forth on the list but that ain’t mean shit, he’s still got a lot going on down there

Soft: 6

Hard: 7

He’s girthy, will tear you up girth, needs thirty minutes of prep minimum because of how wildly he fucks girth

He sticks straight out, no curve in sight and honestly looks like he defies gravity.

He’s like Tengen, can do dick tricks. But unlike Tengen he doesn’t make that known / show you lmao.

He’ll break your back, he may even hurt you (fully unintentional) if he gets too into it. That thing is fr a weapon

5. Rengoku Kyojuro

He’s fifth on the list but trust me he’s not lacking

He’s second smallest, but he’s not small, if you get what I mean. It’s kinda like how we rank the Hashira weakest to strongest but regardless they are still the strongest in the corps… that make sense?

Soft: 5.8

Hard: 6.8

He curves upwards, very prominent veins running along his shaft (heh, shaft)

Girth wise, he’s about normal. Not too intimidating but def offers you a good stretch, forgoing prep is real bold tbh

He’s a quick learner so he quickly masters how to fuck you

He will strive to go as far as your body will let him, so expect to be bruised / sore

6. Iguro Obanai

My king. He may be “smallest” among the Hashira men, but that doesn’t mean shit.

He’s not self conscious of his dick, he knows how to use it. He’s also pretty content with it’s size

Soft: 5.6

Hard: 6.5

See? You can’t come for me cause he ain’t even SMALL

Obanai’s dick is pretty, too. It curves upwards slightly, since he’s pretty pale, his veins are prominent

He’s got an average girth, he doesn’t need to prep you forever to get you ready. Which works in his favor cause he likes to “punish” you with no prep & going in raw

He can and will abuse your cunt, he’s not satisfied until you genuinely can’t walk without limping for a few days

[dilucsfav]

OH EM GEE HIIIIII !! FOR THE SUB THINGY COULD I REQUEST XIAO, SCARA, GOROU AND KAZUHA IF YOU CAN???? ABSOLUTELY NO RUSH AT ALL, TAKE YOUR TIME RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

Dom!genshin men x sub!reader (ft. scaramouche, xiao, kazuha, gorou, albedo, tighnari, childe)

warning(s): nsfw, slight? knife play, blood, marks and bruises, choking, spanking… yeah all the good shit, put ur big boy panties on😩

scaramouche

im sorry but he wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about your pleasure when he’s being dom-

would force you to choke on his dick with no mercy ong, just making you take it all deep and hard and mhmmm

IM SORRY LMAO IM JUST IMAGINING HIS SMALL ASS BEING DOM AND TRYING TO BOSS YOU AROUND AND ITS MAKING ME GIGGLE-

IMAGINE CALLING HIS FUCKING 4 FOOT 3 ASS “DADDY” OR “MASTER”- IM SORRY I 😭😭

sorry these are supposed to be good hcs mb

anywho he’d be a very mean & stubborn dom, and low key kinda abusive-

WOULD slap you if you’re a brat/didn’t do something right that he asked of you. like NOT SPANKING but like SLAPPING

would absolutely get off to seeing you bleed/using a knife on you💀

^^AND CRYING TOO??? yeah he’d probably hit you so hard or fuck you too much until you’re a crying mess cuz he’s into that and we all fuckin know it

“Say it again, (Y/N). You wanna be stuffed with cock so fucking bad, huh? Admit it.”

would call you dirty slut, whore, yada yada all that shit

IM SORRY YALL LMAO I DONT VIBE W SCARA IN THAT WAY BUT HOPEFULLY ITS SOMEWHAT ACCURATE 💔💔💔

Xiao

xiao please fuck me

anyways

so mean but such a soft dom at the same time, you get me?

when hes thrusting n shit, he’d totally go slower and harder rather than quicker and not-as-hard

…. cuz let’s be honest… if he went FAST… literally would be digging your fucking grave cuz his inner demons would definitely conquer the fuck out of your tushy

IM SORRY IMAGINE HIM GOING EXTREMELY FAST AND JUST GOING “EVIL CONQUERING” DURING IT-

i’m sorry please laugh at my jokes

honestly there isn’t really any kinks that i can think of that’d he’d be into?

in general, i think sex with him would be EXTREMELY intimate & sweet. like throughout it he’d pleasure you but he’d be so careful about it and so sweet💔💔 he’d have moments where he’d get carried away but it never goes too far

his teeth latching onto your neck while he’s fucking you HELLO!!!!!! CONQUER ME PLS

“You’ve been so, so good for me. Do you think you can take it all, (Y/N)?”

dude his dick would be to die for- cuz it’s not super big, in fact it’s pretty average size, BUT ITS SUCH GOOD DICK LIKE HE GIVES SUCH GOOD DICK AND WE ALL KNOW IT. LIKE HE KNOWS HOW TO MOVE IT IN ALL THE GOOFY FEEL GOOD AREAS N SWEET SPOTS N EVERYTHING

^^imagining his body all sweaty while he’s towering over you, fucking you, watching your expression and panting, brushing this thumb over your face and praising you but in a way that he’s asserting that he’s in control?

PLEASEEE

dude i’m sorry i’m sorry but i need to write just regular hcs & scenarios w xiao SO I CAN WRITE ABOUT RIDING HIS DICK CUZ GODDD

anyways i’m getting too carried away with xiao, next friend to write about-

Kazuha Kaedehara

soft dom. one hundred fucking percent. no way in HELL anybody can convince me he’d be a mean dom.

ngh ngh ngh THATS THE SOUNDS HE’D MAKE, THATS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE HIS WHIMPER/MOAN WHEN HES GIVING DICK

tbh he’s just so gentle but so teasing to you too- he’d absolutely embarrass you and get you all flustered and have no regrets about it

“Mm… feels good here, (Y/N)? Look me on the eyes and tell me, my flower.”

would hit ALL the sweet spots and we all know it

pls pls he’d intertwine yours and his fingers and squeeze your hands super tight while he’s doing it with you, god god while also asking if you’re comfortable? omfgggg

…… do i think kazuha kaedehara likes seeing you tied up? ………. kinda

IDK CAN YALL SEE IT??? CUZ IDK I FEEL LIKE HE’D JUST ENJOY IT, OR AT LEAST HOLDING YOUR HANDS ABOVE UR HEAD?? PLS with that little innocent look of his /////////…

he’d do this awfully attractive chuckle during it I CAN JUST FUCKING PICTURE IT

oh holy shit he’d absolutely lift your legs onto his shoulders so he can kiss your thighs and just hold your legs cuz cuz coz UHHSHSHSHSH

legs legs what’s on the menu? legs legs what’s on the menu? legs legs what’s on the menu? *clap clap clap clap* LEGS!!!!

(please tell me i don’t sound like a dumbass and that somebody gets that song reference)

honestly kazu is totally a pro with his fingers… i don’t make the rules, i just write them

that made no fucking sense anyways

Gorou

IVE ACTUALKY NEVER WRITTEN FOR GOROU IVE BEEN WANTING TO FOR SO LONG HES SO MS HINA BBG

i’m sorry i’m cackling at the idea of gorou being dom but

ok but if he’s the dom one, it’s probably if he’s… in heat

^^YOU KNEW IT HAD TO BE SAID CMON CUS WHEN ELSE IS THIS MF PUPPY ENERGY MAN GONNA BE DOM? exactly.

so with that being said, we all know what “puppy energy” is like… puppies are very fast therefore Gorou go vroom vroom in that hole-

am i making too many dog jokes?? this is going to make me sound disgusting im going insane

so anyways … yeah so he’d go super fast and he wouldn’t really talk too much dirty he would just be VERYYY vocal and would pant and whine and grunt and all that shit

imagine him whispering “yes yes yes…” as he’s yknow GOD SAVE ME FROM MY HORRENDOUS SINS

he would hold your face as he’s going absolutely feral stop and then give you sloppy little kisses all around cuz he loves you 💔💔

i don’t think he’d bite & leave hickeys to “mark his territory” or whatever… that’d be a different character in heat 🌝 (that character comes later in these headcanons hehe get it because this text is green get it and anyways nvm)

so anywho he’d definitely leave smooches all over you and would just make you feel so loved and would give you ALLL the fucking attention

instead of being the type of dude to say that shit like “good girl/boy” “good job” “you’re doing well”… i can’t really see that idk maybe that’s just me??

^^ i think he’d probably say more things like “you’re so beautiful when you do that” “i’m so grateful to have somebody like you” yknow???

“(Y/N), don’t stop that, please… you should just look at how amazing you look right now.”

he’s so cute though definitely a soft dom that would make you feel all good n happy n loved and hhhhhhhhhhhh

Albedo

FINALLY I CAN WRITE FOR ALFREDO SAUCE HOLY FUCKING SHIT

please IVE WANTED TO WRITE FOR HIM SO LONG PLEASE YALL DONT EVEN KNOW HES LITERALLY MY FAV GENSHIN CHARACTER YALL PLS

anyways

for starters he’d tie you up. not just wrists but fucking ankles too

also while he’s fucking you he’d give you this look of like?? as if he’s studying you?? yk like examining you for a test or some shit yess me next master ngh🌝

would also have this look of just DISINTEREST while he’s going ham with you, like almost like he’s bored??😭😭 just so unphased

^^ just imagine him staring at you blankly PLEASE THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY FUNNY TO ME CUZ ITS SO TRUE IDK (and it’s hot)

absolutely he’d tame your attitude so fucking fast. such a big tease omg help

(guys i promise i don’t just like him cuz of his massive fucking cock i actually just like him cuz his lore i swear-)

“Oh… did that feel nice, (Y/N), hm? Right there, was it?”

let me be your test subject pls

would rub your head?? afterwards?? THATS SO FUCKING RANDOM BUT IT WOULD BE SO AWKWARD TOO LIKE ITS HIS FORM OF PRAISE OR SOME SHIT

his aftercare is literally “ok put ur pants back on, let’s get back to work”

why am i attracted to emotionally dismissive gentlemen?

Tighnari

ah yes, i missed writing for tighnari

shit he’s so he’s so

unlike gorou (when he’s in heat), tighnari doesn’t necessarily have to be in heat to be dom…

god he’s such a fucking tease, he’d EMBARRASS THE FUCK out of you and would just laugh

another man that just takes it slow but OH HO HOOO IS HE FUCKING GOOD AT IT

teaser whilst also he’s twirling your hair with a finger, rubbing your lip with his thumb, smirking at you, voice low, hand rubbing sweet but suggestive circles all over you YESS PLS SIR

“Tsk… so needy, aren’t you, (Y/N)? You can’t wait very long at all for it, can you? Go ahead and ask me for it then, little slut.”

he has such attitude 💔💔💔

sex with him is the definition of “breeding you” cuz it’s just that… intense… just hot n sweaty and mhmm we all know fs

would bite your back, stomach, chest, legs… would leave bruises n hickeys ALL over you omfg with no shame at all

he wouldn’t give you anything unless you asked or begged for it NICELY ofc

^^would rub your head with a small “good girl/boy” praise too YUMMYYYY

even though he’s a big tease, he’d also make sure you’re okay with everywhere he’s touching you and would make sure to give you a nice lil aftercare session right after <333

Childe

jesus yall i had a childe phase-

i mean he’s cool n shit but like idk i don’t vibe with him much anymore🙁 HES SO FUCKING FUN TO WRITE FOR THOUGH!!!!

he’d spank you, tie you up, shove your face into the sheets and make you take it, would laugh at you if you cried… yeah he’s fucking mean in bed

^^ he’d know what’s too far n shit but yeah

^^^ ALSO IS IT JUST ME WHOS ALWAYS GOTTEN HUGE VIBES THAT CHILDE IS DEFINITELY INTO SPANKING YOU?? like there’s definitely other characters BUT ESPECIALLY HIM LIKE???!?!?!?!?

sex with him is so hot help, probably hurts so fucking bad because his dick is probably massive but it’d feel so good and would be so worth it

i’m going to rot in hell for being such a whore

this is so foul to say but he’d make you wear a skirt while he… yeahhh from the back 🤰

I MEAN AM I WRONG??

^^ mf probably wants to see you in a maid dress & cat ears n shit too he seems like he’d be so down fucking bad

he’d totally grab your face and make you look at him while he’s doing his shit

“Feels nice, yeah? You want me to keep going?”

no matter how dom he may act, he will never not whimper

^^^I CANT SEE HIM GROANING LMFAOSO HES TOTALLY A WHIMPERER

hannibal breaking murdocs nose for the 2nd and 3rd time for playing his music on hannibals turntable

he doesnt sound that bitter? ab hannibal? he doesnt sound incredibly fond but he talks ab how he got him into a lot of music. so, i imagine they we're a bit closer than i thought?

MURDOC IS ACTUALLY SMART HE WAS JUST. NOT INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECTS? I GUESS? (also,,, he literally Built cyborg noodle and i think he had a PhD too lol. but its always nice to hear hes actually...yknow, interested or good at other things)

alright but murdoc having a fascination w/ other cultures - or at least some interests, that lead him to actually study the damn subject and "pass with flying colors"

'fuck college though. im gonna be a rockstar'

he sold his soul at 18ish? whenever the fuck he got kicked out but college was mentioned so my brain goes to 18ish idk

he lived with his father still and paid rent via low paying jobs one including 'part time dressing as santa'

"2d was the looks, murdoc the brains, then russel truly was the heart"

'while 2d and murdoc liked music, this man was a MUSICIAN' god fucking bless this book holy shit ny man russ getting some respect. he said back hurts from carrying this band.

Twilight - Ong Seong Wu

In which Seong Wu’s  coffee serves as a source of hope.

“Beautiful wonderful

Those are cliché words

I can’t express how I feel

With those words

Ay I feel stupid when I’m in front of you

I keep repeating the same jokes

But you still laugh

Do you feel the same way?

I smile because of you

I forget about my unclear future

Am I being too greedy?” - Twilight (Wanna One)

In celebration for Wanna One’s 1st Debut Anniversary, @ongsung an I have decided to release a series of oneshots daily, starting from today July 27th and ending on August 6th (August 7th in KST, and thus Wanna One’s anniversary).

I’ve chosen to write based on a selection of Wanna One songs, and she’ll be writing based on the individual teasers that were released for Energetic/Burn It Up. We will link each other’s stories below, so feel free to read hers after this one. See you tomorrow in our next installments :)

Seong Wu carefully poured the cream until it reached just under the brim of of the coffee cup. Selecting the appropriate lid size, he capped the cup before turning around to hand it to the waiting customer.

“Here is your order, sir. I hope you enjoy it!”

The customer thanked him before leaving, and Seong Wu turned around to tackle the next order. However, before he could, his co-worker Woo Jin called out to him.

“Seong Wu hyung, do you mind taking over the counter for a bit? I have to run to the bathroom.”

“Sure, just hurry back. Rush hour is coming up and I don’t want to be manning the counter alone.”

“Got it, will be back in a flash,” Woo Jin said before throwing off his apron and rushing to the bathroom.

Seong Wu punched his credentials into the register before looking up to see the most beautiful person enter the cafe. That might have sounded like an exaggeration, but Seong Wu truly did believe that. Something about her drew him in, and he braced himself as she walked up to the counter to place an order.

“Hello, welcome to The Bean. What can I get for you today?”

“I’ll take a small cafe latte with soy milk, please.”

“All right. Your total is $3.25...and your name?”

“Y/N”

And he wrapped up the transaction before telling her the order would be ready in a few minutes. Seong Wu felt his heart pound faster when she smiled and thanked him before going to wait on the side.

Looking at the cup with which he was going to prepare her coffee, Seong Wu thought for a few seconds before grabbing a pen and scribbling a some lines onto it:

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words - 

And never stops -at all-

He then quickly prepared her drink before slipping on a cup holder and heading to the counter.

“A cafe latte with soy milk for Y/N?”

She looked up from her phone when she heard her name and walked over to accept the drink from his hand, their fingers brushing ever so slightly with the exchange.

“Thank you so much, have a good one today!”

He smiled shyly and nodded his head.

“Thank you, you as well.”

And with that, she was gone. Seong Wu let a breath as he began to stew over the poem he wrote on the cup. What spurred him to pen a verse from a famous poem, he had no idea. He ended up hiding them with the cup holder and he wondered if she would even see it. In the case she did see the poem, would she think it was weird? Would she not come back again? Clearly he was overthinking, and mussed his hair in frustration. It was to this sight that Woo Jin came back to.

“What happened? Demanding customer again?”

“No...but I might have chased one away.”

Seong Wu then launched into a story of what happened while Woo Jin was gone, his nervousness increasing as he did. By the end of his story, all Woo Jin could do was smirk.

“Well, it’s too late to worry now, hyung. But in my opinion, it doesn’t seem that bad. I wouldn’t worry if I were you.”

Despite the poem he had so courageously (at the time, anyway) written on Y/N’s cup, Seong Wu didn’t have much hope that he’d see her again. But to his surprise, she was back again the next day. Upon entering, she searched the cafe until her eyes landed on him. When they did, she smiled and made her way to the counter.

“Hi, you’re the one who took my order yesterday, right?”

“M...me? I mean, yes I did!”

Seong Wu wanted to kick himself for stuttering. It wasn’t even a difficult question.

“Did you also write the poem on there?”

He balked slightly before answering. What would she think of him? He wasn’t sure if he wanted to know.

“Yes I did...I apologize if it wasn’t to your liking.”

“Oh, no, I’m not here to complain; I actually really liked it, and wondered where you got it from?”

“Where I got it from?”

She nodded and Seong Wu really wanted to sink into the ground now. Why was he repeating her questions back to her? He felt so stupid all of a sudden.

“Uh, I read it a long time ago but I remember it because it’s one of my favorite poems by Emily Dickinson. Many of her poem’s are numbered instead of titled; this particular one is poem 254.”

“I’ve heard of her before! I think I also read another poem by her back in the day. Do you think you could recommend to me some other poems?”

And so he did. Each day she came in for her coffee, he’d write down a snippet of a poem and the author so she could look them up. Some days he’d write some jokes, just so he could see her laugh when she read it. They were lame, and one time he even repeated a joke by accident, but she still laughed and that made him feel better.

The sight of Y/N everyday nearly made Seong Wu forget everything else. If he was in the middle of something, he’d put a hold on it just so he could greet her when she came in. Although he enjoyed daily encounters, he found himself wanting more, but afraid to ruin what they already had, he kept his feelings silent.

One particular day, Seong Wu walked into the cafe feeling unusually nervous. The feeling of butterflies wouldn’t leave his stomach, and when Y/N came in, he pushed the feeling down to greet her.

“Same as usual?”

“Yes, but I also had something else to ask.”

Seong Wu stopped writing her order and looked up curiously to see Y/N look at him. Was she okay? She looked almost...nervous?

“What is it, Y/N?”

“I was wondering...if you had time this weekend? We could catch a movie before grabbing dinner?”

Seong Wu’s mind blanked as he tried to process her words. She was asking him to watch a movie with her, and to eat dinner with her. He wasn’t imagining things, was he? Seeing how he was not answering, Y/N began to feel embarrassed and diverted her gaze.

“Well...uh, I suppose this is awkward now...I’ll, I’ll just get going.”

That shook Seong Wu out of his reverie immediately and he frantically spoke.

“Wait, wait, don’t leave. I didn’t mean to make you wait! I was just really surprised, that’s all!”

“Surprised?”

He smiled bashfully and scratched the back of his neck.

“I’ve actually had a crush on you since the first day we’ve met. I guess I was in shock that you’d be interested in me at all.”

They both met eyes and blushed as realization sunk in. It looked like there was hope after all.

college bf!jinyoung

req: collage bf!bae jinyoung au please? im in love with your writings!!!💕💕💕

a/n: special thanks to xuan @hwinkinghwi for the dope mb,, and tho i hate to admit it,, yes baejin looks good in a beret

major: early childhood education

honestly has no idea what to do with his life, but daehwi told him that he was very good with children so he listened lmao

this may or may not have been inspired by w1go

when he first stepped into the classroom, all the female students swooned, because its rare to find male students in that major

even rarer to find such handsome guys in early childhood education

needless to say, all of them shoved him their phone numbers, and when he reached home, he threw them all away LOL

honour roll student back in high school, and of course, valedictorian AND voted #1 cutest boy in the cohort?? oh yes good

people often doubt his ability with children, like,, with that face of yours, shouldn’t you be in mass media or fashion?

but jinyoung can calm a crying baby in less than 5 seconds and he just impressed all of his professors and lecturers

and also the ability to make children happy in just 1 action of his ggugguggagga

and no,, it isnt cute,, its just him badly imitating jihoon and his face does the scrunching thing,, children love it and find it amusing

able to master any baby sitting trick in just one glance and repeats it perfectly

now, lets imagine,, jinyoung cradling a 6-month old infant and singing a lullaby for him to sleep

walking around and swaying to mimick the movement of a rocking cradle

youre welcome

honestly,, jinyoung and babies are the next otp to biscuit wafers and chocolate aka kitkats everyong reference hah im so funny

a1 theory student, able to memorise a 101 page long lecture note in one week, and gets full marks in every test

also in the school’s dance club, dances fairly well, though very underrated

lowkey popular?? but only amongst people who have had classes with him,, is also very lowkey about his life

you, on the other hand, a vetinary major

the only major which actually gives you an excuse to avoid human interaction

to you, animals are true to themselves and dont lie, arent snakes like humans

you have a 2 dogs at home, a poodle and a maltese, which gave birth to tiny maltipoo puppies which were absolutely adorable

you even have 2 guinea pigs,,, your mother was about to chase you out of home because of the number of pets you have

an avid animal lover, the worst part of your major was to put down sick animals, you really hated that the animals were left with no choice but to die

anyhow, one day your professor asked you to bring some puppies over to the early childhood section

you wanted to question why they needed the puppies but you just kept quiet

so you brought over 2 golden retriver puppies, one in each hand

you didnt have enough hands to open the door for yourself, so you had to use your foot to gently kick it open

you were greeted with a room full of toys, and a mirror on one side

you were puzzled, but someone then came in after you

it was this boy, in blonde-brown hair, carrying a toddler in his arms

he looked way better than most of your classmates, to be honest

you regretted not removing your ugly white doctor’s jacket, and your hair was up in a messy bun, with your round rimmed glasses resting on your nose bridge

you were far from presentable, and that boy looked ready to walk on a runway in a simple pullover and jeans

“i--uh... professor lee told me to bring over these 2 puppers here, yeah.” you stuttered

“ah, thank you so much, i need them for a study, but dont worry, the kid wont harm them.” he smiled, as he let the toddler in his arms familiarise himself with the puppies

you nodded your head, then joined him at his seat at the side of the room

“uh, when can i return the puppies...”

“jinyoung”

“jinyoung-ssi?”

“i dont need them for very long actually,” jinyoung said while scribbling down notes on his clipboard, “just about 15 minutes...”

“y/n”

“y/n-ssi.”

you bit your lip, as much as jinyoung was handsome, he seemed cold and unapproachable

you wanted to make small talk but seeing how engrossed he was in his task you decided not to disturb him and observe along with him

after about 15 minutes, jinyoung stopped writing and approached the toddler to tell him they had to go

obviously the toddler didn’t want to, and threw a tantrum

jinyoung calmly tried to calm him down, but the tantrums got worse

so you had to step in and tell the toddler that he could visit the vetinary department anytime to see the puppies, in the kid voice you picked up from your brother when he tried to calm his crying son

the toddler stopped crying, much to jinyoung’s surprise

“this hyung right here will give you candy if you behave well and listen to him!”

“wha--”

“really?”

“really. right, jinyoung?”

jinyoung gulped, “yeah, i will.”

you winked at jinyoung, while carrying the two puppies

“i thought you would be better than me at this, jinyoung-ssi.”

jinyoung turned bright red, and laughed sheepishly, “yeah, i guess you’re good with kids, y/n-ssi.”

and that was prolly the last thing you heard from jinyoung after you left

you had to calm your beating heart as soon as you dropped off the puppies

you thought it would be your last time meeting jinyoung, but no fam heaven has loads more in store for you

you liked to do your work/study at macdonalds’ ,just because the smell of food motivates you

of course, with a mountain of french fries by your side and a large green tea

you have an insane addiction to french fries, you reckon you are gonna die of hypertension before the age of 40

but all’s good because you do exercise regularly, aka chasing after animals

one day you had way too many assignments, and your roommate being a light sleeper, you decided to complete it at macdonalds’ 

you were on your 5th packet of french fries and 3rd cup of coffee

at this point you were about to just drop dead but the assignment was worth alot on your grade

and you had to get that 4.0 gpa

suddenly Likey came on your playlist, and you had to jam to it

because its a bop guys pls support twice

and doing the likey choreography

“you’re good at dancing”

you got the biggest shock of your life, seeing jinyoung settle down on the seat opposite you with a tray of his meal

you also cursed at your luck, always looking at your worst in front of jinyoung

“n-no.. i cant really dance ahahahahAHHAHA”

“what are you doing?” jinyoung peeked from behind your laptop screen, “assignment?”

“yeah... i’ve got a presentation on thursday too.”

“does that mean you get off campus early?” jinyoung asked with his mouth full

“yeah, i guess.”

“do you want to, perhaps go on a date after your presentation?”

you stopped typing momentararily, “a date?”

“yeah, i want to thank you for helping me out that day.” 

you slumped, you thought he was actually asking for a date-date

“and also,, i think you’re kinda cute--”

your eyes widened, as your face blushed at jinyoung’s sudden confession

and that was how the both of you got together HAHAH

very abrupt im sorry

jinyoung would wait for you at the lobby of the dorms to walk to campus together

and go for a quick coffee run

barista!ong would shoot jinyoung playful winks and glances, and jinyoung will never patronise the cafe again 

macdonalds’ dates,, be it with homework or without homework

his lectures always end earlier than yours,, or maybe its just that he blasted off after his lectures to not keep you waiting

most of the time, its the latter

would ask you loads of questions

“how is your course like?”

“are animals more well behaved than children?”

“do you need to bribe them to listen to you?”

literally the type of bf that just walked out of a manga... like he is literally nunbuseyo shining shining without even trying fam

your presence would never fail to bring a smile on his face

would pinch your cheeks whenever he feels like it

lowkey annoying but you know he loves you

“why is my aegi so cute?!?!?!?”

“jinyounf plsf sthop”

your number 1 hypeman too

likes to see you in shambles(messy hair,no makeup, oversized outfits) because “no makeup aegi is the best”

has a habit of calling you aegi bc youre smaller than him makes no sense im sorry

often does the nose scrunch when he is in concentration which is super cute

yall know what im talking about

buys iced tea for you in the summer and hot tea in the winter

lowkey clingy and gets jealous easily

but most of the time he would be messing w you,, always ending it off with, “i’m just kidding, aegi”

whenever you’re stressed while doing work or anything he would have the 7th sense lol and immediately cuddle you with no warning and sometimes you end up having to rush your assignments bc jinyoung distracts you too much

when jinyoung gets stressed, he often bites his lips to one point it started to bleed

and you had to help him nurse the wound rip 

then sneaks a kiss to your lips,,

“my lips would heal immediately like that”

thats how your first kiss went lol

tbh jinyoung is hella shamless as contary to his image

but overall a sweet and caring boyfriend that loves skinship

🎃 Wanna One as supernatural creatures  👻 - Hyung Line

[ Masterlist ] [ In honor of just making this blog as well as spooky spooks fest coming up in a few days, here’s a Halloween inspired Wanna One imagine! It’s lengthy for a first post so it’s under read more. 👻 Maknae line will be posted tomorrow! 

- Admin V ]

Yoon Jisung 

a very gentle vampire

you wouldn’t think he would be a vampire upon first glance

like he looks so happy and sunshine-y all the time that it doesnt seem like it

but then you know guanlin saw him sipping blood from a coffee mug labeled “#1 sucker” and that was that

he also had to convince guanlin that he didn’t go around randomly feeding on people

no one knows his age

“a wise man never reveals his age.”

“isnt it secrets?”

“shh daniel, go eat your red meat.”

he may be a creature of the night but he is literal sunshine

he works as a doctor 

ha ha vampire as a doctor how generic

he genuinely likes helping people with his vast knowledge that he collected over the many many years hes been here

he lives in the little home above sungwoon’s shop

he drinks the packets of blood he gets from work that no one uses and is generally good about his feeding

he only ever needs to feed once every two weeks or so 

when he’s missed out on a feeding session due to something he secludes himself from other people until sungwoon is able to make a replacement blood supplement for him

when he goes without blood for a prolonged period of time his eyes turn red 

he tries to maintain his manners but he can only hold back the urges so long

don’t hurt his children he will bite

literally

hes very protective of those he has deemed as family

because he didn’t have a family for as long as he can remember

so the members are his family

Ha Sungwoon  

he has everything

tonic for sickness? 

got it

potion to make someone fall in love with you?

he sells those

Pepsi?

yes, but he keeps it in a vial for some reason and no one knows why

he is following in the footsteps of his previous master and is running the old shop

which has been altered to look more like a store to blend in with society more

“people were looking at the place weirdly hyung”

“i liked how it was daehwi!”

“get with the times hyung! :(”

sungwoon didn't really grow up in society when he was training so he doesn't really get why he cant just rant about rabbits feet and troll leather and its magical properties in public

or why you cant just have this hut looking thing be inbetween large corporate buildings

the place where a lot of the members actually live is above his store 

but yeah he is a potion maker if you want to be real about this and he sells potions that generally are just used for pranks and makes the big money.

but he also is the one to help jisung when he cant get blood in time and never charges him.

actually he never charges any of wanna one.

he denies any statements about being soft as “i owed you a favor im just repaying it”

“you made me hot chocolate hyung”

“you didnt trip me that one time thats why”

don’t let that tsundere attitude fool you hes soft for the members

overall him as an alchemist doesn't change much

he just has much more stuff

which = mess = angry minhyun

but overall he is a very smol potion maker who helps his friends with their ailments and cares a lot despite denying such 

Hwang Minhyun 

a literal Angel™

no really hes actually an angel

you can literally almost see the halo above his head

and he does have wings! 

he just hides them

because he knows that walking around with large hulking wings is not normal in society 

he came to earth a long time ago and is mostly done with humanity but still tries

its just hard sometimes

he came upon jisung a long time ago and despite,,, beliefs he had at first about what jisung was

(he literally tried to throw garlic at him and jisung just stared at him and laughed so hard he cried

minhyun was really confused)

he came to understand jisung and the two are close friends

nowadays he volunteers at local community centers and pounds

he says that he is a very responsible being but no one believes him

especially when he came home drenched wet holding a kitty in his jacket

“why didnt you just use your wings to cover you and the cat?”

“ill be honest, i didnt think of that at the time.”

he cleans the home they all live in because they are all such messes

well not all of them

actually its really only jaehwan

which he doesn't understand cause jaehwan is literally a ghost

he sings whenever he cleans and its the prettiest thing to hear 

it enamors all of the residents of the humble home

tl;dr don’t hurt this precious man you’ll have a horde of angry supernatural after you

Ong Seongwoo

actually he’s just fully human

,,,

with a catch

he hunts down demons

not the ones who try to live peacefully like jisung

the bad ones that cause harm to people and other beings

a Good Demon Hunter ™

he doesn't necessarily live in the home with the rest of the gang 

mostly due to the fact he really cant put any of his equipment there without giving minhyun a heart attack

who wouldnt get the scare of a lifetime when you see someone casually polishing a large katana that had blood on it

but hes basically there 24/7 when he doesn’t have a job to do

like it’ll be three am and daniel would be getting up to get a drink and nearly go wolf and attack in surprise at seongwoo casually sitting on the couch watching tv eating some ramyeon 

daniel does help him with his job sometimes! but seongwoo doesn’t let him go to the dangerous ones

a. cause he cares about daniel

b. jisung would actually kill him

hes still a jokester and plays pranks with the others

tells spooky stories about demons hes hunted to rile up the kids

is then told off later by jisung who had to deal with daehwi nearly shooting his head off with a spell and woojin setting fire to his bed in alarm

“whoops”

when hes on the job tho

hoo boy

he turns so serious, a complete opposite from that jokester persona he puts on around the gang

there are a lot more jobs around halloween than any other time because hallow’s eve is when demons are at their highest activity rate

so that means he gets no sleep as he hunts down demons

he doesn’t stop until his job is done

so you could not see him for weeks

then all of a sudden hes just there eating corn flakes like

“sup, how ya doing?” 

and he’ll have his arm in a cast, multiple limbs wrapped up, and be limping

but is just so casual about it

save this man

Kim Jaehwan

so funny story

hes dead

no like

he died a while ago but

hes a ghost now

hes learned how to manifest his energy in a more physical being though!

but this is also a bad thing because

he plays pranks

all the time

and he haunts sungwoon and minhyun so imagine how fun that must be for them

everyone jokingly calls him a banshee and says to move on already but they don’t actually mean that

he knows that too

so he just blows a kiss towards them and laughs as the cringe away

when he does become a more physical version of himself, he likes to play the guitar when minhyun sings

the combo is lovely

he lays on the other members who complain

and he just goes 

“i’m a ghost you cant push me off thats disrespecting the dead”

they threaten with salt and its like wow suddenly he has to go water his roof

one time someone managed to break in and he scared them so bad by floating through the doors

he didn’t actually know that there was a burglar he was going to go try and get one of those vials that sungwoon made that lets him eat food so he can eat something

hes now the guard dog for the house. 

he doesn’t remember how he died, no one does, and he doesn’t like to talk about it

overall, he’s a very mischievous ghost who does care about the people he haunts. 

Kang Daniel

alright i think a lot of people saw this one coming

our boi is a wolf

actually, he’s pretty young for a wolf

he still has a hard time actually turning and prefers to just stay human to eat his food and do other things

he’s getting the hang of it don't worry

he has his hyungs and friends to help him

when he is able to turn he is just a big fluffy dog to be very honest

one time when they were having a picnic at the local park and daniel was in wolf form for the day, seongwoo jokingly threw a ball for daniel to catch, thinking he wouldn't

daniel chased it all the way into the forest and brought it back

needless to say he won’t be able to live that down

ever

“so pup, did you eat dinner yet”

“hyung stop, it was one time”

he cant really eat a lot of produced stuff well

it doesn’t sit right with him

he cant have chocolate either

which really bums him out

que sungwoon to the rescue again with a potion for everything

so he lives off meat and vegetables

but he is somehow able to eat gummies just fine

which he is scolded for but he still does it anyways

he dances in his free time when he isn’t in school

or you know hunting

he doesn’t hunt often, and when he does it is only with small creatures

he feels bad afterward and doesn’t come out of his room for a while

poor wolfie

a living heater v.2

helps seongwoo with his hunts 

as in he tracks them but isn't allowed anywhere near the site for his safety

he complains but begrudgingly goes back 

he’s just a big ol dog who wants to eat what he wants and dance in peace

"It runs on nothing but dreams and jazz music. Love too..."

The best time of the year is finally upon us! Yup, talking about Halloween, which I celebrate by packing every single available moment with scary movies. Also, scary video games. Alas, because I’m not much of a PC person (yet), I haven’t had a chance to play FAITH…

Yet I am a total fanboy of the PS2, hence why I’ve expressed my fondness for Haunting Ground quite a few times already…

I’m also quite familiar with Simple 2000 Series Vol. 113: The Tairyou Jigoku...

BTW, though last two are courtesy of obscurevideogames, which has been posting gifs from various obscure video games indeed, which also happen to be horror related all month long. Like Twilight Syndrome: Saikai/Reunion, a title I’ve yet to experience, despite being a total fanboy of the PSone as well...

Late to the party I know, but I only just became acquainted with Mason Lindroth and basically want him to do the graphics for all the games...

Something that’s somewhat along the same lines, kinda/sorta, is Middens (via koldspaghetti)...

Remember Gacha Man, one of SPLENDID LAND’s hand crafted robot masters? Guess what; the collection is finally complete…

My fave would have to be (and not just because he reminds of Soundwave) SLN-014 Cassette Man: “by playing different music tapes, his abilities change. he mostly listens to the same few songs over and over though”...

I also dig the redesign of Mega Man himself…

If Splatoon was on the GBA, this is what it would look like, according to suzi-hhh...

It’s somewhat old news, and to be honest, I’m not exactly blown away by them, but for those who missed it and might be interested, behold a Super Famicom Mini-tie in shirt from the King of Games...

The love for the Super Fami is very strong in Japan, and miki800 recently posted a roundup of various goods. With the most interesting being what appears to be a book…

… Which as it turns out is just a blank notebook. But hey, that means you finally have something to write high scores into, given that all the instruction manuals are digital! Never mind the save function on the Super Fami Mini/SNES Classic.

miki800 also recently visited an insanely super awesome looking store. My fave bits would have to be the bootleg AM2 hat…

The Super Girl Boy shirt…

The handmade Space Invader…

And this off brand Lego set (I wonder what that particular Soundwave toy is all about)...

Speaking of threads, I have a new fave Tumblr that’s simply calls itself Video Game Jackets. Here we have Naoto Ohshima‏’s Sonic Jacket...

Then there’s this Darius jacket…

… which is available at Taito’s just opened barcade, MEGARAGE.

And speaking of large fish, arcadephile has a pic of Stephen Spielberg and an arcade game that’s not officially based on Jaws though its source of inspiration is unmistakable...

Mysterious0bob has this noteworthy observation when it comes to Cuphead...

“So everyone knows about the Gunstar Heroes references in Cuphead but I can’t help but feel this boss is a reference to The Adventures of Batman & Robin on the Sega Mega Drive. Its at very least a huge coincidence.



It's not too clear in these screenshots but they have the exact same method of attacking as well (minus the summoning of ghost mice).“

... BTW, I chose a different, higher quality image for Batman & Robin (hope Mysterious0bob doesn’t mind).

Please enjoy this very nice Nier sketch, by Mira Ong Chua…

Along with some Nier… school fashion? By @cyocyo_tasaka, via aku-no-homu…

And here’s a nice Metal Gear Solid fan art, by Justin Currie, via gamefreaksnz…

An illustration by Danny Hellman for New York Press from back in the day (it, along with Screw, basically kept local cartoonists afloat during the late 80s to early 2000s), depicting the infamous first release from Ice T’s hardcore band Body Count (which was also the first CD I ever purchased)...

I guess this is a loosely translated Metroid 4koma... or is it poorly (via tabletorgy-art)?

You know how horrible the Secret of Mana remake looks? Whomever should just get the person who did this re-imagining of Chrono Trigger...

Also thanks to arcade-crusade, I now really want a clear DS...

Am not entirely sure what I’m seeing here; a Game Gear running MSX games (via sixteen-bit)?

doctorbutler wonders who did this Street Fighter x Beavis & Butthead mash-up and I too would like to know!

Though the identity of the artist responsible for arguably be the most famous SF2 illustration is well known: Kinu Nishimura. And here’s the WIP version, via videogamesdensetsu...

Sticking with VGD for a sec; say hello to the women of Renai Kōza Real Age...

I also respect any game that has the guts to not bother putting the title on its cover…

From 2D to 3D, here we have the evolution of the Virtua Fighters...

Again, this will be old news to some, but for everyone else, it was recently discovered what Yoshi originally looked like in Super Mario World…

There's apparently a dedicated tool that's just for watching the pre-rendered backgrounds in Silpheed?

And sticking with shmups, ship designs for the rather obscure (and super ambitious) Philosoma…

Any opportunity to post Vic Viper fan art is one I am all too happy to utilize... 

Also via the Tumblr that lives up to its namesake is some laserdisc based title starring a ship that I am absolutely in love with...

Here’s the back, btw…

And here’s a rather mysterious flyer…

Equally cryptic is this… I honestly don’t know (via strawberrytabasco)....

[UPDATE: 10/15/17] The mystery has been solved, courtesy of mendelpalace...

“Yo! Just wanted to tell you that the "Blipverts" image from that post you made is related to Max Headroom, a cyberpunk TV show from the 80s. The first episode was called Blipverts, and dealt a TV station making high speed commercials condensed into a few seconds, which have a side effect of making some people's heads explode.”

Heading towards the left is what appears to be a Japanese high school student being followed by what appears to be a ghost in what appears to be a Game Boy Color game (via corporalsteiner)...

[UPDATE: 10/16/17] Actually, according to lunaticobscurity...

“that's no ghost, it's lum from the early 80s anime urusei yatsura!“.

And heading towards the right is quite obviously the dude from Altered Beast, corrupted (via corruptionasart)...

Time for another animated gif featuring a giant spider, but also time for another animated gif from Sin & Punishment (via n64thstreet)…

It’s also time, especially since it's been a while, for some video games x cats (via tokkeki)...

Time to wrap things up with a scary story, since again, tis the Halloween season. And the following is a truly horrific tale, one that will send chills down the spines of anyone… who is into preserving old arcade cabinets…

Though the spirits of the past remain with us nevertheless… in the form of cheesy store displays (via arcadezen)...

Don’t forget: Attract Mode is now on Medium! There you can subscribe to keep up to date, as well as enjoy some “best of” content you might have missed the first time around, plus be spared of the technical issues that’s starting to overtake Tumblr.

Wanna One’s (Hyung Line) reaction when their child asks them about the birds and the bees

(please ignore the fact that they’re promoting beer in this omg)

And with this, I am finally done with all the requests that you guys on Tumblr have sent in and surprisingly, I managed to finish both scenarios before the 30th of July?? :D This was another adorable request that was sent in via my inbox by @fanfare-sf9 and I actually did have quite a lot of fun thinking about it and writing it out. ^^ However, I would also like to apologise (again) for making you wait for about a month as well and I want to thank you for being so incredibly patient! ;; Nevertheless, I hope this was worth your wait and if you like a further elaboration on any of them, feel free to just let me know! ^^ I wish you all a happy and fun reading experience for this one too! :) 

“You” = you are their wives where applicable!

P.S. I am actually doing a poll for the scenarios (fully written) that you guys would like to see! Click HERE for the options and happy voting too! The poll will CLOSE on the 7th of August! :) Happy voting everyone and I will announce the winner on the following day! 

To @fanfare-sf9 , I got a little carried away (as you can probably tell from the lengthy reasoning) but I did add a bonus of what will happen when their children grow up and how they would approach the situation differently then. :) You deserved something more for waiting so long so here we go! 

Yoon Jisung: 

When their child does ask them this, he would be surprised at first, considering the fact that his kid was far from age and a million questions would probably start popping up in his mind. He would wonder what kind of friends his child was spending time with to talk about such personal issues and would also wonder whether the school that he had sent his child to was teaching the young children enough about the birds and the bees. However, if the child continues to pester him, he would probably give in anyway (because he clearly does have a soft spot for children), asking his child to give him some time, before making the story as creative as possible in the most animated fashion for both entertainment (like he is known for) and education. Rest assured, he will definitely tell his child the REAL story when the time comes and would most likely become his child’s life guru 24/7. In a nutshell, it is safe to say that he would be a pretty worried father, worrying about what his child could get himself/ herself into when he or she grows older. In fact, he would probably lose some sleep over the issue and would be the type to remind his child from time to time to retain the child’s memory of this “important” story.

Ha Sungwoon: 

For Sungwoon, I feel like his first reaction would result in him having wide eyes and a hanging jaw, before his face would go completely red (or more like his ears); as red as a cooked lobster. Just like Jisung, he would also be a little stunned with the fact that his child has already been exposed to such “PG-rated” content at such a tender age. Judging by how shy he gets in real life when he is being called out, I think he would be the type to probably start distracting his child first by trying to get him/her to focus on other things such as the playground that he would bring his child to every single day or even his/her toys. Being an idol, he sure is busy and will then use this time to create some physical intimacy with his child by participating in all the activities that the child liked to do. His child might forget temporarily with all the new distractions, but through it all, Sungwoon would be thinking hard about how he should break the story to his child and would even consult you too for opinions and thoughts. All in all, I could see him growing up to be a very stressed father about his child’s life (especially in the romantic aspect) and would tell the story to his child then.

Hwang Minhyun: 

As the Nu’est members have said, Minhyun is known to be the mature one of the band, despite the fact that he is also super innocent. Apparently (please correct me if I’m wrong), he has not gotten his first kiss due to the reasoning that he is actually waiting for the day to give it to his first girlfriend. Despite this, I am pretty sure that he does actually know some information about the topic and even though his child asking him this would come as a little bit of a shocker, he would just smile and probably explain it in the simplest and most mature way ever. He will not be squirming or cringing or anything, because of the fact that he is convinced it to be a child’s natural instinct to be curious and that the topic was going to become a part and parcel of life eventually. I mean, he is quite far-sighted and would probably prefer to think of things in the long term. Hence, as the child grows older, he would probably tweak his explanation, before giving the complete one to his child once he/she is of age to comprehend the information and apply it to their daily lives and keep themselves safe. With that, I doubt Minhyun would be as much of a worried or stressed father (because he is sure that the both of you have raised the child to the best of your ability), but he would definitely be a pillar of support that his child can turn to when puberty (or the process of growing up) hits where it is either a happy moment or where it hurts the most.

Kim Jaehwan: 

Knowing him as one of the members of Wanna One who is actually pretty playful, I feel that he would be more embarrassed than flustered when his child asks him such a “personal” question. His face would go all red (like we have seen when he did not vote Sungwoon in for “Never” HERE) and he would probably just keep smiling to himself, laughing it off occasionally due to the surprise. Combined with his slightly shy personality, it would further hinder him from finding the ways to explain to his curious child. And hence, he would try to distract the child, like Sungwoon, but to a greater extent and would be cracking up his brain at the same time to think of an explanation. When you return home from work and give him and your kid hugs and kisses (he was given a break from Wanna One activities), he would pull you into the master bedroom and explain the situation that he was facing. Honestly, I can only imagine you laughing as he spills his fears and worries, but you would definitely help him and perhaps the both of you would explain it together in the simplest way possible. As his child grows up, I figure that you would be giving most of the life advice verbally but Jaehwan would always be there for his child to turn to when the situation calls for it. I’m pretty sure that he will also be worried, like all fathers, but would trust his child enough to take care of himself/ herself, unless otherwise observed.

Ong Seongwoo: 

If Jaehwan’s playful tendencies were “bad”, Seongwoo’s will be even more prominent, but he is clearly someone who would not shy away from the topic because it is something that he would want his child to know. He is also known to be someone who is not afraid to voice out his thoughts and opinions but with the child’s young age, he would also try to be creative about it so as to fulfil the child’s curiosity. In fact, with his witty personality, this burst of creativity about the birds and the bees would be an easy thing for him to overcome. However, on a more personal note, when the child gets older, it is clear that he will be clear, blunt and truthful about it because he sees no need to sugarcoat such important matters. Furthermore, I do not think that he will be stressed or worried per se, but he would put in a lot of trust in his child to do the right things and have serious talks when it seems like his child seems to be acting otherwise. All in all, it might not seem like it, but he would probably make a great parent, especially with the freedom that he gives his child into exploring these issues and will try his best to explain it to the child in a simple but effective way. In fact, I could see him trying to stay connected with his child in order to understand his child better and prevent generation gaps from getting in the way of their relationship.

Kang Daniel: 

To be honest, I feel like he would be a combination of all the members mentioned due to his pretty diverse personality in different situations. There are times when he is mature and times when he just wants to have a bit of fun, resulting in his playful and adorable nature to surface. However, when it comes to such issues on the slices of life, I feel like he would be all flustered and not know what to say, stuttering as he tries to explain (god knows what goes through his head really AHEM) and will probably end up confusing the child even more. When you come home, he would definitely approach you about the situation and would wonder how he was going to lay it out for his child. To me, he would want his child to know eventually, but not now, due to the child’s age. Hence, the both of you might actually devise your plan for an indirect storytelling session to explain it to your child, turning it into a fairytale and making it all Disney-sounding so as to maintain the child’s purity and innocence (ahem ahem). Perhaps you guys would even write a book (this would be so adorable really omg) about it! When the child does get older, Daniel seems like the type to get very worried when he sees his child growing up and integrating into the real world. Somehow, I could imagine him losing sleep sometimes, but he would definitely get over the fear (with your help) and would soon start exposing his child to more things too such as relationships, future plans, puberty management and everything under the sun, becoming someone that his child can depend on and be comfortable with, whatever the situation might be.

PRODUCE101 – How the perfect boy group would look like

Only one day left, and I literally can’t wait to know who’s gonna make it into Produce 101 Season 2′s final boy group. However, I know that not all of my favorites will make it. To be honest, I wish they would just debut with 20 members –  but that’s not going to happen. But hey... that’s how survival programs work. 

Still... a girl can dream, right? That’s why I’m going to show you which 11 trainees of Produce 101 would form the perfect boy group (in my opinion of course).

For me, a member of a boyband has to fulfill his role. However, these days members of boy and girl groups have much more roles to take than just rapper, dancer, vocalist, leader and face.

THE GORGEOUS FACE:

The face is the one that inherits automatically the center position, which leads to acting as the signature member of the group. A perfect example is Sungjae who is (not the visual but) the face of CUBE’s BtoB.

For me there’s only one that would be able to pull this role of, and it is without any doubt MMO’s Kang Daniel. He has the personality, the charisma, the skills, the sex appeal, the body, the stage presence and of course the face to take over the center position. Yeah... it should be illegal to be this perfect.

If you need a detailed explanation why I would love to see him as center (and why I have serious ovary issues), check this out.

THE IDEAL LEADER:

Every bunch of half-crazy boys needs an exemplary leader who is able to keep everything and everyone under control. A popular example would be B1A4′s Jinyoung. 

Assigning this role might be the easiest, right? PLEDIS’ Kim Jonghyun proofed so many times that he’s perfectly capable of motivating and guiding others. No one would make a better leader than him – who already has enough leading experience thanks to NU’EST.

Again, if you want to know a detailed explanation, why I love this sexy fella so much, read this.

THE ANGEL VOICE:

A boyband without a main vocalist? No way! Every group needs at least one singer that is able to hit high notes and breaks listeners’ hearts with his voice. One of my favorite main vocalists of all time is for example Block B’s Taeil.

Under the last twenty Produce 101 trainees are two I would love see as main vocalists. But there can only be one – and it breaks my heart to make the decision between Starship’s Jung Sewoon and individual trainee Kim Jaehwan. I’ve tried to be as objective as possible, and chose Jaehwan as my dream main vocalist of my dream Produce 101 boy group.

As much as I like Sewoon’s voice and personality, I can’t deny that I prefer Jaehwan's skills a little bit more. His range is incredible, and he would make more than just a solid main vocalist.

THE PASSIONATE DANCER:

If I would be in a girl group, I would definitely be at least lead dancer – yes, we are talking about my usual favorite position. However, in this Produce 101 group we need a main dancer that is able to inspire others with his sick moves like SHINee’s Taemin.

My original dancer pick for the Produce 101 boy group has been someone who already got eliminated (Yes, it was Taehyun). So I decided to go with the sweet and extremely talented Kim Samuel from Brave Entertainment.

You can’t deny it: he’s more than just passionate about dancing. He masters choreographies as easy as freestyle. Yes, this kid got the moves! And that’s why he should be able to dance the shit out of this project. 

THE ANNOYING MAKNAE:

Sometimes all those hyungs need a precious baby boy to take care of. However, this can be quite nerve-wracking since some of our most popular K-Pop maknaes are from time to time wicked brats. The probably most popular example for an annoying and evil maknae is Jungkook from BTS.

After watching last week’s Produce 101 episode, I’ve finally found my perfect maknae. Even though CUBE’s Yoo Seonho is only eleven days younger than Samuel, he has all the – let’s say – qualities to be Produce 101′s ideal maknae.

On stage he tries to be sexy as fuck, but among his hyungs he acts like the cutest little brat that actually annoys the shit out of everyone. All this skin ship, all this bromance... How can Seonho be such a perfect maknae? 

THE FIERCE RAPPER:

Almost every single boyband has its rapper – sometimes even more than just one. There are some extraordinary main rappers that support their group with their insane skills – like iKON’s Bobby.

In Produce 101 Season 2 are many trainees who call themselves rappers. Well, I’ve already mentioned two of them. But my number one should be Brand New Music’s Park Woojin.

Although he took part as a dancer in the position evaluation, he’s still the one I would definitely choose as rapper for this group. His super deep and husky voice combined with his badass expression is what a boy group’s main rapper definitely needs. 

THE PRETTY VISUAL:

I’ve already mentioned it before, but the face isn’t automatically the group’s visual. However, Infinite’s L is actually both. No wonder with that face.

When it comes to my favorite visual member, some of you might disagree with my choice. But this is just my personal preference, so deal with it. Anyway, I think there is not a single trainee that is able to keep up with Choi Minki’s visuals.

He looks more like a fairy than an actual human being. Some of the younger K-Pop fans might not know this, but when NU’EST debuted, the community went completely crazy because of Minki’s aka Ren’s feminine look. And you guys cannot imagine how many hilarious memes were created just because of his absolutely unbelievable pretty face. Yes, he is indeed the perfect visual.

THE HANDSOME GENTLEMAN:

Besides all those usual positions I’ve mentioned, there can be other roles for additional members of a boy group. One of my personal favorites is the respective role of the handsome gentleman. Sometimes this gentleman is someone who is actually a little bit older, and looks freaking hot in a suit – like Yunho from TVXQ.

There’s only one candidate of Produce 101 I can think of as the perfect gentleman – and that’s obviously PLEDIS’ extremely good-looking trainee Hwang Minhyun. 

Besides his fantastic visuals, he’s charming, smart, reliable, talented and hot as hell. If you’re interested why this guy is so sexy, you should read my latest blog post about him.

THE ARROGANT ASSHOLE:

The term asshole is not meant to insult anyone – it means this member is just savage as fuck and doesn’t give a shit about anything or anyone while mentioning all the time how perfect he is. I think I just described Super Junior’s Heechul pretty well.

And come on... you already know who I picked. There’s only one trainee that would fit perfectly for this kind of role – and that’s Fantagio’s Ong Seongwoo.

Like Heechul, we all know that Seongwoo’s just trying to be funny – and it works. Honestly, I can’t imagine the future Produce 101 boy group without Seongwoo. This group needs its sexy asshole. Why? Here’s the detailed explanation if you’re interested.

THE SWEET BAD BOY:

After over a decade of being Hallyu infected, I’ve realized that there are so many boy groups who have a member that appears super bad boy-ish on the outside, but is actually all cotton candy sweet on the inside – like my SF9 bias Zuho.

To complete the PLEDIS family, I obviously chose our sexy bandit Kang Dongho as sweet bad boy – because we all know that he just looks like a wild beast, but is actually the softest and cutest little puppy you’ve ever seen.

I could now tell you why this sexy bad boy is actually the cutest daddy among the Produce 101 trainees. But I already did. Feel free to check it out.

THE DORKY GOOFBALL:

Last but not least, the perfect boy group needs someone who makes everyone laugh. This is usually the member that is – because of his hilarious kind of humor – perfect for variety shows. A wonderful example makes of course ZE:A’s Kwanghee.

And there’s only one that brightens my mood every single time he appears on screen: MMO’s Yoon Jiseong. Some hate him, some love him – I simply adore this honest and emotional human being. However, it is a matter of fact that he is number one pick among your favorite Produce 101 trainees. They want him in the group, I want him in the group. Just deal with it!

Besides being number one pick, he’s the oldest trainee right now. And yes, he should debut to give old bitches like me the opportunity to stop finally creeping on baby idols.

With Kang Daniel, Kim Jonghyun, Kim Jaehwan, Kim Samuel, Yoo Seonho, Park Woojin, Choi Minki, Hwang Minhyun, Ong Seongwoo, Kang Dongho and Yoon Jiseong, Mnet would form the perfect boy group – for me.

Countless of you might think – Where the hell is Daehwi? What did you do to Jinyoung? And why the fuck is Jihoon not on this list?

Please, look at most of Produce 101′s trainees. A cute concept with this group wouldn’t work. There are way too many manly, sexy and older contestants. Although I really really like them – in my opinion, there is no place for someone like Daehwi or Jihoon or any other trainee that looks like grade schoolers.

Maybe I’m a little bit biased because I’m way older than any of these guys. Yeah, it kinda sucks to be in this community for so long. Idols get younger, and the groups you – let’s say – grew up with, start to disband one after another. That’s not a joke. I’ve experienced Music Bank live once. And the only girlband I’ve seen there that hasn’t disbanded yet is SNSD.

So yes... I want these eleven boys to debut together. BUT IT WON’T HAPPEN! Because the majority of votes comes from teens who prefer a cute and pretty image over fucking sex appeal and charisma. And that’s okay! You can’t make it right for every single one out there.

I just want to let you guys know that I am really looking forward to this future boy group – although there won’t be all of my favorites. And I can’t wait to watch tomorrow’s final episode. 

Prepare some tissues, ladies! We are going to cry rivers!

Falling for you ( Ong Seongwoo scenario )

Hi everyone!

So this is my first Wanna One imagine starring * drum rolls * ONG SEONGWOO. I came up with a Soulmate!AU because i’m a cliché and also a sucker for those.

Prompt : In which you’re born with half a tattoo on your body and the tattoo only becomes a whole when you meet your soulmate.

Genre : SoulmateAU!

Warning : None.

Word count : 2,781

It kind of sucks but i hope you’ll enjoy it anyways! Also I apologize in advance for any mistakes, english isn’t my first language but please feel free to point it out so i can improve.

You plopped down onto the mattress without bothering taking off your jacket. You just came home from your parents restaurant where you helped around all day since one of the employee broke their arm and couldn’t work anymore. The room was only lightened by a lamp on your bedside table projecting shaking shadows on the walls. The rain pouring outside soothed your tired body as you suppressed a yawn, streching your heavy and sore limbs. You rolled onto your stomach, absently scratching the mark on your left shoulder. Your tattoo looked like some sort of compass, ornated by a black and white circle in the middle of the tattoo, reminding you of the yin and yang sign minus the dots in the drawing, it was encircled by three circles and adorned with precise lines running up half your shoulder, leaving the other half  irretrievably bare and empty. 

You lazily propped yourself on your elbows and opened your laptop, automatically logging on the forum you spent most of your time on. 

* Kotonoha_n0_niwa has entered the chatroom *  [11:27pm]

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Ong are you there ? I had the most exhausting day ever and i need to relax. [11:27pm]

* ItsOngNotHong has entered the chatroom * [11:29pm]

ItsOngNotHong : What is it that i hear? Do you, perhaps, need me ? [11:29pm]

You chuckled at the boy’s dramatic antic, sitting properly on your messy bed. The noise of the city drifting through the open window, somehow made you feel less alone, and as your tattoo itched again you imagined what life would be like with a soulmate. Today was the kind of long day and exhausted that makes you question every single thing you’ve ever done in your life, if you’ve ever taken any good decisions at all. At only 19 years old, you were already making a statement of your short life and, as you stared blankly at the computer screen, lightening your tired face with its sharp light, you caught yourself wondering if you really wanted to meet your significant other.

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : I don’t even know why i come up to you first when i need to laugh. [11:30pm]

ItsOngNotHong : Because i’m really, amazingly, extremely, overwhelmingly funny ? Also you don’t have friends. [11:30pm]

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Okay first of all you’re really, amazingly, extremely, overwhelmingly stupid and second of all i do have friends, ask Daniel we texted all day. [11:31pm]

You met Daniel through Ong who introduced you to one another as Daniel also spent time on the forum, less than Seongwoo though, who, despite being a college student, seemed to have a lot of time to waste.

ItsOngNotHong : You text him more than me... :( [11:31pm]

ItsOngNotHong : Stop stealing my best friend. [11:32pm]

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Hahaha are you sure he’s not your soulmate ? [11:33pm]

You sit back, tapping your fingers against your knee. You’ve only been talking to Ong for about a year but to you it felt like more than that. You’ve always found him quite entertaining and careless, something you could only admire as the introvert you were. Chatting through forums helped you show a side of you you were too shy to share with the real world. It made you feel less lonely. Ong made you feel less lonely. Although you denied it for quite a long time, this boy was the sole reason why you were reluctant about meeting your other half. More than that, you were afraid he would find his before you. You were scared he would leave you. Ong made you feel supported and listened, and his kindness towards you never failed to make your heart flutter.

ItsOngNotHong : Do you want me to send you memes of me and Jisung ? We went to a horror house and the pictures taken inside are GOLD, Jisung screams like a girl. [11:34pm]

Of course Ong, as the confident boy he was, had already sent tons of pictures of himself and his friends, you even knew all of their names by now, and calling him handsome wouldn’t do justice to the beauty that is this man. He just had the kind of overflowing charisma that drows you like a butterly to the light. And you wouldn’t mind burning your wings. You often caught yourself wishing for Seongwoo to be your soulmate, seeing how you two matched so well, before pushing the thought to the back of your mind whispering to yourself how stupid you were. You didn’t even know where his tattoo was situated, let alone what it looked like. You never really talked about soulmates anyway, sometimes joking over Daniel being his potential soulmate but it’s always as far as it would get.

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Stop playing, i bet you were even more scared than he was. [11:34pm]

ItsOngNotHong : I’m a manly man Y/N, i don’t get scared. [11:35pm]

You could easily imagine Ong swelling his chest with pride, a silly smile playing on his bright features.

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Don’t you scream when you see bugs tho?? Anyway sleep is calling, talk to you tomorrow :) ? [11:36pm]

ItsOngNotHong : IT HAPPENED ONE TIME! And to be fair that mosquito was really huge... Goodnight Y/N, sweet dreams. [11:37pm]

* Kotonoha_n0_niwa has left the chatroom * [11:38pm]

Seongwoo sat back in his chair, staring at the red dot next to your username. Somewhere in the appartement, he could hear the soft melody of Sewoon’s guitar, one of his roomates, playing. He sighed, putting his hands behind his head, exhaling slowly. His eyes trailed over your words one more time, imagining how your fingers would look like, dancing on the keyboard, a small smile on your lips as you read the words, his words, he wrote for you. 

Ong Seongwoo was whipped. And he very much knew it.

'’ You know, you should think about confessing to her, i’m tired of seeing you look at your computer like a kicked puppy whenever she leaves the chatroom. ‘’ 

Guanlin snickered at Daniel’s comment, not bothering to look up from the television where a pretty tough mario kart game was displaying, both boys engulfed in the game, racing like their lives were on the line.

‘‘ Yah Guanlin-ah, don’t you have a soulmate to take care of instead of hanging out in our dorm and disrespecting your hyung ? ‘‘

Guanlin sticked out his tongue, out of pure concentration, slightly bending to the right to master as best as possible an arduous turn.

‘‘ Can’t. Seonho is at a family meeting and won’t be home until Friday. ‘‘

‘‘ Are you really not going to confess though ? ‘‘ Asked Jisung curiously, plopping on the couch between Guanlin and Daniel. Ong sighed for what seemed like the thousand time in five minutes, absently tracing the rain drops on the window with his long fingers.

‘‘ How could i ? I don’t even know if she lives in Korea nor if i’m her soulmate. Hell she could already have met hers ! I would look like a complete idiot... ‘‘

Jisung patted his shoulder, looking pitifully at his friend.

You tightened your jacket around your shivering form, one hand burried deep in your pocket while the other was busy checking the message you just gotten from Ong. Spring was coming around but the strong wind bitting your sensitive skin made you feel like it was still the middle of January. You regretted leaving your scarf at home.

* ItsOngNotHong has entered the chatroom * [10:14am]

ItsOngNotHong : Hey Y/N, are you sleeping ? [10:14am]

* Kotonoha_n0_niwa has entered the chatroom * [10:15am]

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Hi, no i’m not! But aren’t you supposed to be in class right now ? [10:15am]

ItsOngNotHong : I’m pretending to take notes on my computer, Minhyun has been threatening to rat me out to the teacher since i started playing Super Mario 20mins ago. [10:16am]

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : Yah Ong Seongwoo, don’t you wanna graduate ?! [10:16am]

ItsOngNotHong : Of course i do! I’m just counting on my natural talent ;)[10:16am]

ItsOngNotHong : Hey what about you ? Aren’t you in class at this hour ? [10:17am]

You pushed open the door’s restaurant, greeting your mother with a hug as soon as you got in. At only 8 in the morning the restaurant was pretty much deserted. A soft song was playing in the background, perfectly matching with the cosy atmosphere of comfy homemade food restaurant on a rainy day.

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : I only have class this afternoon, so i’m gonna help my parents with the restaurant until school starts. [10:18am]

ItsOngNotHong : Such a nice and helpful girl, that’s the Y/N i know! [10:19am]

You rolled your eyes, suppressing a giggle, while making your way to the locker room to get your apron and your name tag.

Kotonoha_n0_niwa : lol, my shift’s starting soon, talk to you later loser. [10:20am]

* Kotonoha_n0_niwa has left the chatroom * [10:20am]

ItsOngNotHong : So cruel... :( [10:21am]

‘‘ Ah really, that was the most boring class ever ‘‘ Jisung started complaining as soon as the class ended, earning himself a death glare from the teacher. ‘‘ Also i’m so hungry, my stomach kept growling during the lesson. ‘‘ 

‘‘ Daehwi and Samuel texted me asking if we wanted to eat at that ramen place downtown, next to the mall. ‘’ 

Daniel texted them back confirmation after the trio agreed on going there. Ong drove his two friends at the place, since he was the only one with a driver licence, Jisung claiming that he kept riding his bike to ‘‘ protect the environment, thank you very much ‘‘ when really he had just given up after failing for the 5th time.

It was about twelve when they arrived at the restaurant. The rain had stopped pouring and the sun was peering behind a curtain of gray clouds. From what Ong could see from the bay windows, the restaurant wasn’t too crowded, way less than the mall where people kept flooding in and out the building like a river stream.

Ong took off his hood, flattening his messy brown hair with his hand. He looked at his reflection in the glass, his chocolate brown eyes meeting the back of a girl setting a plate in front of a customer. At the sight, his tattoo started itching, sending chills down his left arm. Seongwoo paid it no mind, absently scratching the compass through his thick layers of clothes. 

The three boys entered, immediately spotting Daehwi and Samuel, both waving at them with a grin plastered on their faces. Samuel and Daehwi were both a year younger than them, but that didn’t stop them from hanging from time to time, when they weren’t busy with finals or any other college activities. The two soulmates greeted them happily, their shooting star marks both visible on the back of their hands.

Seongwoo gazed at their matching tattoo, wondering what Y/N’s mark looked like.

The day went by smoothly, as you took care of your customers, mostly regulars and a handful of college students as Seoul’s public university wasn’t far. Soon, noon kicked off and your stomach woke up, growling like a hound. Taking it as a cue to take your break, you went to the back, a cup of instant noodles in your hand.

‘‘ Ah... Eating cupped noodles in a ramen restaurant, if that isn’t a shame. ‘‘

You wolfed down your excuse of a healthy meal, feeling the warmth of the chicken broth warming up your insides. You jumped on your feet as your heard the door bell ring, signaling the arrival of new customers. You walked to a table at the back of the restaurant, occupied by four boys, a seat remained vacant but you knew was occupied for the jacket laying on the back of the sofa.

‘‘ Hi guys, what can i get for you ? ‘‘ You slightly bowed at them, a pen in one hand, ready to write down their orders.

A boy with blond hair, who looked a few years younger than you, stated all the orders, his hand remaining locked with the boy next to him who was softly smiling at what looked like his soulmate, as their tattoos indicated.

‘‘ I’ll get that done for you as soon as possible ! ‘‘ You smiled gently at the couple, bowing once again at the group of friends before turning around, still scribbling the drinks they previously ordered.

As your turned tail, you didn’t notice a boy going full speed on you, his eyes focused on his overfilled glass of water while you didn’t glance one bit from your notebook.

You felt your body jerked away as a cold wave of water came crashing on your sweatshirt and face, splashing your notebook at the same time. You let out a scream before you stumbled on your feet and ended up on your butt, soaking wet.

‘‘ What the he- ‘‘ You glared at the person who got you in this miserable state and froze mid-sentence, mouth wide open, water dripping from your hair. The guy finally looked down at you, stopping his movements right on track, his left hand halway outstretched to help you get up on your feet.

You quickly rose up, taking in the features of your internet friend, still in shock. If the guy was charismatic on picture, he was drop dead gorgeous in rea life. His brown hair was messy, his bright chocolate brown eyes widened in shock, mouth agape, his perfect white teeth visible.

‘‘ O-ong ? Is that you ? ‘‘ You suttered, unaware of the questionning looks of the four boys in the back.

Seongwoo’s face broke into a huge grin before he engulfed you in a hug, whispering how jinjja, daebak it was to finally meet you. He apologized a few times asking if you were okay as you wiggled away from his arms, embarassed and worried you might get him wet too. You felt your shoulder and whole body heat up at the contact, but ignored the tingling in your arm as you proceed to wipe the water from your notebook.

‘‘ I can’t believe we’re finally meeting and the first thing you do is spill water all over me. ‘‘ You laughed, voice still trembling from the shock.

‘‘ Wait you’re Y/N ? THE Y/N from the forum ? ‘‘ Asked Jisung, whom you recognized from meme pictures Ong sent you a while ago.

‘‘ Ong won’t shut up about you ! ‘‘ Added one of the blond haired guy, mockingly smiling at a frozen Seongwoo behind you.

You awkwardly laughed at the boy’s sentence, feeling the heat rise up to your cheeks.

‘‘ Guys stop bothering her. ‘‘ Seongwoo whined. He handed you a napkin, apologizing once again for running into you and spilling his water on your clothes and notebook. You stripped off your sweatshirt using the napkins to absorb the little water that went on your tank top. You heard a hand clasped against a mouth as Samuel let out a loud ‘‘ Oh!! my!! god!! ‘‘ earning few disapproval glances from customers.

You lifted up your gaze curiously, your eyes catching a glimpse of your mark now brightly shinning, sending waves of heat in your shoulder.

‘‘ You’ve got to be kidding me... ‘‘ Whispered/yelled Daehwi as Daniel  signaled to everyone to look at Ong’s mark that was shinning as well under his gray shirt.

You felt your heart stopped and quickened as you took a proper look at Ong’s tattoo that had the form of a compass, with a black and white circle in the middle, lines and circles graciously running up his muscular shoulder. Your heart was pounding so hard in your chest that you could’ve sworn the whole restaurant could hear it.

Soon enough the shinning ceased, leaving two full and identical marks on your respective shoulders.

‘‘ D-do you mean that... ? ‘‘

Ong Seongwoo was your soulmate. Your internet friend, to whom you developped genuine feelings for, was your soulmate. The guy who just spilled water all over you was your soulmate. Jisung got you out of your trance as he got up on his seat and yelled that one of his best friend had just found their soulmate.

The restaurant exploded with applause, cheering for the two of you as you looked down, furiously blushing at the sudden attention. You felt a hand wrapped around yours, squeezing it lightlty, you looked up, meeting with a lovely pair of deep chocolate eyes.

‘‘ So now, I guess you could say you fell for me, right ? ‘‘

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND March 22, 2019  - US

Of course, the big movie of the weekend is Jordan Peele’s US (Universal), his follow-up to his Oscar-winning mega-hit Get Out, this one starring Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke from Black Panther. Right now, from the reactions and rave reviews out of its SXSW premiere, Peele is not going to experience a sophomore slump and the world will continue to be his oyster. (As of this writing, I personally haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’ll be attending the New York premiere on Tuesday night and hope to have a review done and posted some time Wednesday.)

You can read what I think of the box office prospects for Jordan Peele’s Us over at The Beat, and here’s MY REVIEW OF US.

A24 is also expanding Sebastian Lelio’s GLORIA BELL, a drama starring Julianne Moore which I loved, into more theaters on Friday, and that could also make an entry into the top 10 as solid counter-programming to Peele’s movie.

But let’s get to what hopefully you’re reading this for… and that’s the other stuff in theaters this weekend.

LOCAL FESTIVALS

I’m gonna start with this section this week, because I’m so excited about something going on at the IFC Center -- not the first time and definitely won’t be the last --  as it’s the 2nd annual WHAT THE FEST?!, which I sadly missed last year. This year’s line-up is slammin’, opening on Wednesday night with the World Premiere of Larry (Habit) Fessendern’s new movie Depraved, his take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Later on Wednesday is the NYC Premiere of the Swedish film The Unthinkable and then on Thursday is the NYC Premiere of Pollyanna McIntosh’s Darlin’, a sequel to Jack Ketchum’s 2009 movie The Woman, which was in turn a sequel to Offspring.

I have seen a couple of the movies including Penny Lane’s doc Hail Satan?about the Satanic Temple’s fight against theocracies in the form of states trying to put statues of the Ten Commandments on government sites. It’s a movie that has humor as well as politics, and it’s part of the all-day Satan-themed Sunday that will include my buddy Grady Hendrix doing a presentation in conjunction with his novel We Sold Our Souls. Friday night is the New York premiere of Emma Tammi’s The Wind, an amazing Western horror film set in the desolate wasteland, starring Caitlin Gerrard (Insidious: The Last Key) and Julia Goldani Telles (Slenderman).

If there’s one movie you ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE, it’s Shinichiro Ueda’s horror-comedy One Cut of the Dead, which is very hard to describe without spoiling but imagine if a film crew making a zombie movie is attacked by real zombies… and then throw any conceptions you might have about the movie out the window. I have to thank my pal David Jaffee for recommending the movie so highly, as it’s a very clever take on zombies. (And honestly, at this point, I have no idea if and when it will get U.S. distribution.) I probably won’t have a chance to see Roxanne Benjamin’s Body at Brighton Rock but Magnolia is opening it in April so hopefully I’ll see it before then.

LIMITED RELEASES

Opening in New York and L.A. on Friday before a wide release on March 29 is HOTEL MUMBAI (Bleecker Street), the directorial debut by Anthony Maras, which looks at the 2008 terrorist attacks on the Taj Hotel. It stars Dev Patel, Armie Hammer and Jason Isaacs as part of the ensemble cast dealing with Muslim terrorists who attacked the hotel in order to take Western hostages for ransom. It’s a solid debut by Maras, one with a lot of moving parts but handled sensitively and tactfully due to the nature of the events. I definitely recommend the movie if you have a chance to see it. It’s not quite United 93 but still very good.

Oscar-winning Hungarian filmmaker Laszlo Nemes (Son of Saul) returns with his new movie SUNSET (Sony Pictures Classics), set in Budapest 1913, as it follows Irisz Leiter as she arrives there to work as a milliner (hat salesperson) at the popular hat store that belonged to her parents, though she’s sent away by the owner Oszkar Brill. When a man shows up looking for Irisz’s brother Kalman, she begins to look into her lost past. I have to be honest that I wasn’t much of a fan of the movie, maybe because it was very long, slow and confusing to the point where I really didn’t understand much of what was happening. Clearly, it’s not a film on par with Son of Saul, although I guess some people might like it more than I did. It probably will open in New York and L.A., as that’s the way Sony Classics usually does things.

Filmmaker S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk) returns with his latest genre film DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE (Summit/Lionsgate), a police thriller starring Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn as disgraced police officers who decide to hijack an ambitious heist, stealing the bars of gold that were stolen by a group of robbers. It’s a decent movie if you’re into this sort of thing. Zahler keeps improving as a filmmaker and here, he makes a movie with the weight of Steve McQueen’s Widows, although I thought Tory Kittles was far more interesting than the two leads, even though they do have good chemistry together. This will open in select cities Friday.

Opening at the Film Forum on Wednesday is a wonderful doc by Dutch filmmaker Heddy Honnigmann called BUDDY, which looks at a number of people and their relationships with incredible service dogs who help them get through everything from blindness to PTSD. This really is a wonderful movie, especially if you’re a dog-lover because all of the dogs have personalities as interesting as their masters.

Also opening at Film Forum Friday and at the Lammle Monica Film Center  is Nancy Schwartzman’s new documentary Roll Red Roll (Together Films) looks at a 2012 incident of high school sexual assault in Steubenville, Ohio where a young woman was raped by the football team. It’s a harrowing story but if you’re interested in the type of true crime docs that are all over Netflix, this one should interest you as well. (It’s particularly struggling for me to watch it, having one nephew in high school not too far away from where this happened.)

A movie that I saw and reviewed out of the Tribeca Film Festival last year was Robert Budreau’s STOCKHOLM, which reunites him with Ethan Hawke from Born to Blue, this time playing a bank robber who robs a bank in Sweden with his partner (Mark Strong) and takes a bank manager (Noomi Rapace) hostage before she falls for him … leading to the term “Stockholm Syndrome.” No, I’m not making that up. I don’t remember hating or loving this but just thought it was okay, probably elevated by the presence of the cast.

Patricia Clarkson, Jacki Weaver, James Caan and Toby Jones star in Carol Morley’s thriller OUT OF BLUE (IFC Films) about a New Orleans detective (Clarkson) searching for the killer of a renowned astrophysicist (played by Mamie Gummer), who was shot to death in her observatory. I’ll try to watch this and write more about it soon.

John Travolta and Toby Sebastian star in Karzan Kader’s Trading Paint (Saban Films/Lionsgate), playing a fat her and son racing duo who have a falling out, something that a rival racing company uses to drive a wedge further into the relationship. The movie has been on Ultra VOD for the last month but it will open in select theaters and regular VOD Friday.

Following a one-night theatrical release in 150 theaters on Tuesday, Jesse V. Johnson’s action-thriller Triple Threat (Well GO USA), starring Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak) and Iko Uwais (The Raid) will be available in select theaters and VOD. They are part of a team of mercenaries sent to stop a group of assassins from killing a billionaire’s daughter. It also stars Scott Adkins, Tiger Chen, Michael Jai White and more.

Joel Proykus’ video game comedy Relaxer (Oscilloscope) stars Josh Burge (who previously starred in Proykus’ Ape) as Abbie who is trying to beat the impossible 256thlevel of Pac-Man with no food or water and a bunch of friends and acquaintances showing up. The comedy also stars David Dastmalchian (Ant-Man) and it opens in select cities.

Eric Khoo’s Ramen Shop (Strand Releasing) also opens in New York at the IFC Center and Landmark at 57 West. It follows a young Ramen chef named Masato who leaves Japan to go on a culinary journey through Singapore where he discovers family secrets and new recipes. It will expand to L.A. and other cities on April 5.

As far as streaming, we get our third Western in three weeks with Scott Martin’s Big Kill (Cinedigm), starring Christoph Sander, Jason Patric and more. It involves a Philadelphia accountant who travels West to join the family business who meets up with two rogues who have been run out of Mexico.  It’s on VOD now.

BMC Monthly Free Event

Introducing the Movement practice of ContactImprovBKK to the Bangkok Movement Collective.

Usually when we think of body fitness, we think mainly of the kinetic-mechanical aspect. As if the mind is the master, and our body and our movement is only to serve us, to make us go on doing things and succeeding in life.

But the body is not just that…it’s more. In this class, we would like to bring your attention to include the “nervous, sensorial, perceptual” system to discover the intuitive intelligence of the body in motion, which is at the core of our practice called “contact improvisation.” Our muscles move from the nerves and if we realize that then there is so much more to and through movement. Knowing your body’s state of being and how it makes contact with the environment is about your wellness and society’s wellness. All of this is possible through the simple process of “listening.” 

The structure of the class: We will warm up with Qigong-based breath exercise to discover our energetic body…then with this breathful support, we explore the perceptual body to develop finely-tuned sensory-motor skills necessary for movement learning. And we then develop it into movement imagination games. We will frequently use the idea of partnered group play and interaction to investigate movement. Our social animal nature can help us learn together! Along the way, I hope you may notice your body’s own approach towards “dynamic alignment.” Also I hope that through the practice, you will become more perceptive to the minds of the different body systems, like how the anatomical parts (the flesh, the bones and the skins for example) come together independently but also holistically, in what a democratic process! We’d like to propose that the bodily experience of presence can lead you to a better health, a conscious and choiceful lifestyle.  

About the facilitator Nitipat Ong Pholchai

Ong is a physicist and science educator, movement researcher, kendoist, capoerista, contemporary dance artist and choreographer. Most of his movement and dance training was from San Francisco where he did a graduate study in Applied Physics and danced professionally. Somatics (Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering and contemporary dance), contact improvisation and internal martial arts were among the most influential to him as a mover. He runs and develops his artistic work (movement/dance research) through the local Bangkok group “Spine Party Movement” with its educational branch “Contact Improvisation in BKK” that promotes knowledge about movement and somatic education to public.
