Open your eyes

OK OK OK

I watched the movie and listened to the soundtrack for the billionth time (totally not cuz I'm writing a long fanfic and details MATTER TO ME) but anyways

SO I realize that many a people likely realized the eyes phrase meaning. Like yeah cool the movie starts with open your eyes so that Mirabel can see the candle. Considering this is followed by Casita telling them it's time, this means that this was a tradition.

Abuela Alma takes the 5 year old to her room, tells them to look at the candle, and goes on to tell her story.

Quick note here: I love that during her story there's a moment where there's 4 butterflies that fly out from behind her (when she says Casita welcomed them) and the butterflies look like they're in the colours of her, Pepa, Bruno and Julieta but I'm watching the Yo Ho Ho version so HD when I did my best screenshot there's 4 here I promise

She then tells Mirabel that the miracle will give them a gift to strengthen the community and such. So by the time the ceremony got to Mirabel she already developed the notion that they serve the gifts not that the gifts serve them (I can't put exactly what I mean into words this is close enough)

The way she says it too btw is in the vein of "To be a Madrigal, you are required to have a gift."

Her tone doesn't actually change much for the rest of the lit candle portion of the movie. She refers to Pepa's emotions by the weather above her, Luisa is told to lift this move that (she doesn't even celebrate with everyone during the ceremonies she's still given chores and tasks cmon man every rewatch makes Surface Pressure hit harder), doesn't display much enthusiasm for Antonio but more relieved that he got a gift, etc etc etc you know this already

So why did I bring this up?

Because she didn't do it for Antonio.

Alma didn't give Antonio the speech.

Why am I so sure? Because the scene goes from Casita telling Mirabel she has to get Antonio ready, to Mirabel walking Antonio to his 'spotlight' and Dolores being the one to notify everyone that Alma said that it's time.

Also, the movie makes it A Thing to show Alma saying those words. It's her catchphrase essentially. I personally doubt that the movie would omit atleast the implications of this speech happening. 'There's no time!' Correct! And it would have been redundant! Consider this though, the opening implies the ceremony going like this;

1. Guests arrive and the family does their best to a proper host

2. Someone gets the child in question ready (probably parents)

3. Parents return to guests while Alma goes to the nursery and tells the story of the Madrigals and the gifts

4. Alma then walks the child to their spot and continues by herself to the stairs where she addresses the guests with a speech

5. The child is then welcomed/presented and walks up the stairs to their doors and gets their gift.

I wonder if Bruno giving a prediction was part of the ceremony either before or after too because if Isabela and Dolores got one that they remembered and Mirabel got one (granted this was after the whole no gift thing) did Luisa and Camilo? Because Bruno doesn't seem like an unprompted prediction type guy after the villagers did him real dirty

What makes me think that Alma went to the nursery? If she didn't that implies favoritism to Mirabel specifically and that seems weird out of place to me. By all accounts, nothing about Mirabel stood out YET. And no way she didn't tell her story to her own triplets when it was their turn, especially since it involves their father. Why would she skip 4 of her other grandchildren and then only tell the (at the time) youngest one? Doubt.

SO In conclusion, she didn't do the same for Antonio (he was probably told the story by the others at some point anyway) but notably, this meant that no one told him to open his eyes, specifically

Alma didn't tell him to open his eyes because hers were closed

In fact, the entire family appears to have closed their eyes, because much like Alma, their happiness feels like it stems from the fact he got A gift and has thus met the requirements to be a real Madrigal.

Which, as we know, leads to this

(Btw I love that everyone in this scene is lit tf up because they're stars shining brightly and also Agustin Madrigal you absolute unlucky man, he's probably covered in the final pic by Isabela's arm asdfghjk)

The rest is, well, the story.

Mirabel begs her to open her eyes. Alma doesn't. Mirabel begs her to acknowledge the cracks. Alma doesn't. Mirabel begs her to see what is doing to the family. Alma doesn't.

It's only when the candle goes out and Alma is left in the figurative darkness, does she finally open her eyes.

And in All of You, she finally sings it again. Open your eyes. Saw someone comment that they didn't get this line but the way I see it Alma is trying again. Alma knows she wronged Mirabel and she and the others are basically starting over (they literally sing it to her face)

Second note: not sure where to add this but I love that it was Mirabel who brought Antonio to his ceremony because in a way it was foreshadowing that Mirabel took over some of Alma's responsibilities. She already takes care of Casita, wakes people up if they sleep too long (that's what I took from her knocking on doors), fixes breakfast, etc etc so why not also preparing the kids and giving them a speech which is notably more in the vibes of "we will love you, gift or no gift" and not "boy I sure hope you get powers, we have an image to keep!"

So did Bruno not get married because everyone was afraid of his premonition gift or is it because of the OCD-like behaviours?

Isabela’s colour scheme

Okay okay okay

I know that like anyone who’s seen Encanto has probably noticed this but like

I love the fact that Isabela’s colour scheme is closer to that of Abuela than it is to her parents and sisters cuz it really shows that Alma basically molded her to take after her (probably also envisioning that Isabela becomes the next matron)

But after her song obviously she let’s go of this and then in the finale she GIVES HERSELF a blue coloured dress in the colour scheme of her family which also coincidentally is covered is splashes of colour like Mirabel’s doodle stitches which I love so much

Going from being disconnected and dismissive of your sister to being connected and loving I man I love this movie

According to We don’t talk about Bruno, every one of his prophecies/predictions /premonitions came true. Like I am about to state the obvious but this is my blog so fight me.

The first prediction about the rain wasn’t even a premonition, but a self-fulfilling prophecy which speaks for itself, so I’ll skip it.

Fish lady? Improper pet care Gut man? Bad diet/no exercise Hairless pastor? Genetics

Now Isabela says: He told me that the life of my dreams Would be promised, and someday be mine

At this point we are under the impression that that life is marriage to Mariano and becoming the defacto head of the family but as we learn after the life of her dreams is letting go of being perfect and being true to herself and her family.

Naturally if she was told of this after Alma became more strict and ‘demanding’ about Isabela being the perfect golden child, she would have interpreted this as becoming what Alma wants (what she thinks her dream is), not knowing that Bruno meant her own aspirations (what she secretly knows her actual dream is).

He told me that my power would grow Like the grapes that thrive on the vine This explains itself.

Dolores then says: He told me that the man of my dreams Would be just out of reach Betrothed to another

This one is fun to me because, well, Bruno never said he’d be MARRIED to another, only betrothed, and betrothals can be broken off the same way engagements do. Plus he’s just out of reach, which also doesn’t mean he’s unreachable, Dolores just had to reach out to him (which she does.)

She also knows more about Mariano than Isabela does so it eliminates the possibility that the man of her dreams is someone else because WHY would you keep checking in with a man you only care about because you’re told you should be (aka what Isabela did) so Mariano is def the man of her dreams (btw love that she doesn’t immediately accept his marriage request because she deserves the courting process too)

This song lives rent free in my head truly and I love that and also none of Bruno’s prophecies are bad, it’s just that everyone takes em at face value/inevitable which is why they Always left Abuela and the family fumbling, Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand

Coffin Chapter Twenty-Eight

Masterpost

Roman ran into the living room when he heard Patton screech. “It’s what?!”

“What is?” Roman demanded.

Patton shushed him, gesturing emphatically at the tv screen.

“As according to even the lowest reports,” the lady was saying . “95% of the vampires have been rounded up now. There will still be people available to take your calls if you suspect you’ve seen a vampire, and we highly encourage you to keep turning them in. We will still be here to serve you, just in a less invasive manner.”

“What’s going on?” Roman whispered.

“She said the sweep is over.” Patton whispered back, his eyes fixed on the screen.

“It’s what?!”

“Shh!”

In the next weeks, we’ll be working on transitioning the vampires into controlled work environments. They will be in public, but carefully controlled. There is no reason for fear if you should see them. However, we would ask that you refrain from bothering the handlers, as that increases the risk, however slightly.

•^*^••

“They’re what?!” Dee said, turning the radio up.

“Yes, we can confirm that the sweep is over. The vampires of course will still be arrested if they are discovered, but there will be no more searching of homes without warrants.”

“Well, that’s good.” The other person on the radio program said. “As much as I’m glad to have the vampires gone, it’s very disconcerting to have people storming into your house.”

“Yes, that is a large part of why the sweep has officially ended. Individuals will have to take more responsibility to hand in the remaining hidden vampires, but this way we can have back our freedoms and privacy.”

Dee looked over at Thomas, who was just as wide-eyed. “Can we…?”

“Not home, they know us there. But we can make a new home.”

Dee was just as fine with a new home as with the old one. He nodded enthusiastically.

•^*^••

Liam searched the house. According to reports from the neighbors, Logan had been seen here, but no sign of Patton, and there were only three people staying in the house.

So Patton and the vampire that held him under thrall were somewhere else, but that didn’t mean that there weren’t clues. However, everything he saw was merely personal items. And they didn’t seem to match the supposed inhabitants. Perhaps they’d managed to kick out the original inhabitants. Some vampires did seem to have hypnotic powers.

He kept searching, letting out a slight growl under his breath in frustration, and ignoring the looks his men were giving each other.

•^*^••

Virgil hadn’t had a phone in ages. He had… not really friends, just some nice people online he used to talk to sometimes, and he wondered how they were doing.

Between the three of them, they had Roman’s phone and a burner phone that couldn’t do much other than call.

Part of it was that he was bored, part of it was that he was just thinking about old times, and part was just the relief of the sweep being over. But he wanted to try talking to his fr-- acquaintances, really, and it had been at least a year since he’d talked to any of them, they probably were even less than that now. But still.

“Um… Roman?”

“Hmm?” Roman looked up from the fire. That had been his way of not getting bored, keeping the fire going. Between cutting work and tending the fire almost constantly, it seemed to be working for him.

“Can I…” It felt weird… bad… asking for something as personal and valued as a phone. “CanIborrowyourphoneIswearI’lltakecareofit--”

“Woah, slow down, you want my phone?”

Virgil hesitated, but nodded.

“Yeah, sure. It’s plugged in on the kitchen counter. We’ll do the bonfire in an hour or so, but you can have it till then.”

Virgil was very surprised that Roman would just let him have it, without asking why or anything. “Thanks.”

“Oh, wait, you’ll need a password. Uh… I don’t, really want to tell you, it’s kinda personal, but if you bring it here I’ll type it in.”

Virgil was even more surprised, but the password was quickly typed in and Roman handed him the phone back, cracking a joke about not downloading any viruses.

Virgil waited a long few minutes, sitting up on the kitchen counter and just staring at the home screen. It had a picture of Roman, Patton, and Logan, with Roman and Patton squishing Logan into a group hug. He felt a pang of guilt that he was the one here with them, instead of Logan.

And then he got over his anxiety enough to sign in to tumblr. Yeah, yeah, he knew it was technically ‘dead’, but that didn’t matter. He could be strange there, and instead of picking at him or just leaving him alone, everyone else was pretty strange there too.

He wasn’t terribly surprised to see 99+ notifications, since he hadn’t checked it in a year or two, but he was surprised to see that so many of them were mentions and direct messages. He nearly broke down in tears seeing how concerned people had been for him. They’d left kind messages, ‘for whenever he came back’, and they’d started chains of ‘loving V hours’. One of his old friends had sent him a message every week, even if it was something like ‘hey, come back, idiot, we miss you’.

So he messaged them first.

Ummm….. I’m back?

They didn’t respond immediately, probably didn’t have notifications on, or busy or something, and Virgil started scrolling through his dash. The tears swimming around in his eyes fell when he saw the post. It was someone advocating for the vampires. Saying that, no matter what they’d done, they didn’t deserve to be massacred. Virgil went to the blog, and saw that she was getting a lot of hate, but was making and reblogging things supporting the vampires, and ‘conspiracy theories’ about how they were treated that he knew to be true. He followed immediately. He kept scrolling, and found a few people agreeing with her, a very few supporting and sharing information around.

He’d always been interested in conspiracy theories, in cryptids, he wouldn’t be giving himself away to reblog some of these.

A fwip sound made him jump and then smile.

V!!!!!!!!! Where’ve you been!!!!!!????????

Virgil smiled wide. Lost my phone, kicked out of home, you know, all the stuff you warned me about. It’s really nice to hear from you.

Nice to hear from me???? Do you have any IDEA how nice it is to hear from YOU??????!!!!

XD I’m fine.

Did you really get kicked out of your home?!?

Lol, kinda. I’m staying with some nice people though. They’re even letting me use their phone.

That’s good, but what happened????!!!

Virgil thought about it. How much could he say? They didn’t know where he lived, and he didn’t even live there anymore. They knew his full first name, but not his last name. He’d… probably be safe talking to them. He always had been, when he told them about other things.

I saw the things you’ve been reblogging. Man, things are crazy. Are you doing alright with it all?? You didn’t have police bothering you or anything, right?

It’s a long story.

You think after this whole time that I’m not dying to hear long stories????!!!! I haven’t heard from you in ages! I want to know everything!

Well, you know about my dad, and all that….

He’s an abusive douchebag, yes.

Virgil had to give a small smile at that. They’d been the first person to call his dad abusive, and they’d helped him realize it too.

So… Dad was also a vampire…

Not surprising, all things considered. Did he hurt you?????

You remember that one lady I told you about?

The creepy fae lady? Did. Your Dad. Hurt you? I will find you and bust his face in, V, I swear.

I mean… kinda? Well, I guess I can’t say kinda. So he’s been drinking from me my whole life, and he went… way too far one time. The lady found me, oh, and she’s a vampire too, and she turned me to try and save my life. I went to live with her for a long time.

There was a long wait, and then a meme of John Mulaney, “Now we don’t have time to unpack all of that.”

So… you’re a vampire now?

Yeah.

And you’re safe. No police?

At the moment.

Ok, I’m gonna need a bit to adjust to the whole you’re a vampire thing, but before that-- At. The. Moment???? Who hurt you now????!!!?

There came the tears again. It was far too easy to cry right now. But to have his friend accept him so readily… and still ready to rail at people who would hurt him?! It was just a lot. More than a lot, and it made him so happy.

And don’t you dare say long story! Tell me what happened!

I got caught by hunters, before the sweep.

Another meme, “Now we aren’t just gonna skim past this like you didn’t just say what you just said.”

Please. Slow down and tell me what actually happened. You’re hitting me with some big revelations, and I need some details in between those.

Virgil went back to the beginning, writing out his story, and just avoiding names and places, just in case. It wasn’t easy, and by the end he was fighting back tears again. His friend wasn’t, they kept sending sobbing faces, and alternately saying how sorry they were that something like this would happen and raging against the people that had done it.

V, you don’t have to do this, but I think you should write that down. Make a post of it. I’ve seen the theories I don’t even know how many times, but I never got close to guessing how true they were. You… you really, really, don’t have to, and definitely don’t put your face in them, but taking pictures of the scars would really make it a lot more real to people.

Would it do any good?

I think it could do worlds of good. I’ve never heard things like this. NEVER. I absolutely believe you, and I think other people would too. Use a fake name, make a new blog, heck, make a whole new account, you don’t want people tracing this. But I really think you should do it.

Virgil hesitated again. He didn’t think he could take hate online.

I’ll help you, and I’ll get some other people too, if you don’t mind me telling them your story. I won’t tell them your name or anything.

You think… an ask blog? In case people have questions?

Yes. That’s a brilliant idea.

I won’t have a phone all the time…

I’ll help run it, and answer as best as I can.

It’s… It’s so nice to have you here, and here for me.

Always, V.

•^*^••

Virgil was quiet during the bonfire, but it was the thinking kind of quiet, not the anxious kind, which helped Patton feel better about it. They’d managed to get marshmallows, and to roast them. Virgil had hoped he could eat just one without problems, which, well, didn’t work out, but after that he ate a whole lot of them, ‘just to spite his body’.

They ended up laying on blankets near the fire, looking up through the leaves at the few stars they could see.

“Thanks for keeping me with you,” Virgil said. “I’ve… I’ve been thinking about the past, and if you’d sent me back, or…” his voice strangled a bit. “Or kept me in that coffin…”

“Virgil, I’m so, so glad that you’re here with us now.” Patton said. “I wouldn’t be the same person I am without you. If… Looking back on it, the very idea of leaving you there makes me sick.”

“You’re an important kid, and I’m glad we have you,” Roman said.

Virgil just nodded silently, curling in on himself a little.

Patton locked eyes with Roman, and they each had the same idea, moving to Virgil’s blanket and sandwiching him between them. There was no protest from Virgil, and he even grabbed their hands, squeezing silently.

Patton gave a soft squeeze back. “We’re here now, and we have you, and we won’t let go.”

“No, we won’t.” Roman echoed.

“Thank you,” Virgil said, his voice rather choked up, but a watery smile on his face.

your light [hwang hyunjin]

requested

word count: 5858

genre: angst and fluff, student!au

warning: aggressive (is that the right word?) bullying, cussing, a very douche bag of a character that i made up (this is just fanfiction)

author’s note: i’m sorry this took forrreeevvveeerr. like months. there is bullying in this and it’s a bit cliche but i still hope ya’ll like it!!! prompts used: 10. “don’t you dare touch, y/n.” 38. “they can’t hurt you anymore.” 95. “i won’t stop until i find y/n.” please ignore my mistakes lol

please do not copy my work. but please like and reblog it. thank you!!!!

you were scared, utterly scared. you heard their voices long before you even were rounding the corner. you didn’t want to turn around. you couldn't, for one, you only had five minutes to get to class so turning around now and going to a completely different way would waste your time, you could even end up being late to class. and two, you were already so close to the classroom.

you were hesitant to turn the corner, but you forced yourself to. you silently prayed that if you walked briskly enough and even went as far as to hide yourself from the rather large group of bullies that had resided just next to your classroom, then they wouldn’t notice you, let alone bother you. but, unfortunately, you were wrong.

you tried to duck around them and rush into your classroom, but a hand grabbed your arm and yanked you backwards with a harsh pull. you gasped as you stumbled onto the ground, pain erupting all throughout your tailbone and back, your backpack hardly providing any soft landing for you. you felt your face go red with embarrassment, all while it scrunched up with pain.

“tried to avoid us, did you?” you heard his rotten voice.

you didn’t reply. instead, you attempted to hurry to your feet, but your heavy backpack was causing you trouble. it was hard to stand up from the ground while there was a heavy weight against your back.

you heard their laughs, the laughs that almost sent shivers down your spine. you wanted to disappear into nothing, teleport to a world where there weren’t any people, or sound, just an empty void that you can feel comfortable in, your safe space.

you took off your backpack in order to stand up properly, your gaze down on the old tile floors underneath you. your shaking fingers anxiously fiddled with the edge of your shirt. you were trying your best not to cry. if you cried, you knew it would only amuse them and motivate them to continue. it was their favorite thing to do to you.

however, taking off your backpack - in order to stand up - was a mistake. now the main bully, named chihu, was able to push you roughly into the lockers behind you. you gasped at the stab of pain. this wasn’t just bullying. this was flat out assault. and no one was doing a fucking thing to stop it. why was the only word that was floating around in your head.

they continued to laugh as they tormented you. you finally felt the tears slip out. you cursed at yourself for being weak, for not standing up to them, not fighting back. you weren’t strong enough, but you could have at least tried to make a difference. you hated yourself for seeming to not have a voice at all, or have the strength to fight back.

as they laughed, you stood up and ran, you sprinted, despite the throbbing feeling in your lower back. you ran into the nearest bathroom, going inside and locking the door so that no one else to come in. you had left your backpack completely forgotten in the hallway, but you could care less. now, you were alone in the girls’ restroom, thankful that no one was in there with you.

----

hyunjin glanced over to the empty seat to his right. he was chewing his lower lip while one of his legs bounced up and down rapidly at a constant pace. why hadn’t you showed up yet? you were close to being late for class. you were never late to class. and you would have already told him if you weren’t coming (so that he could take much better notes for you to copy from him later).

just as the teacher entered the classroom, hyunjin stood up, taking his stuff with him, and left. he heard his name be called by the teacher, but he didn’t turn around. he continued walking. he only stopped outside the classroom, looking around the hall just as the bell rang. the halls were empty and quiet, until a voice interrupted him. it was changbin, his friend.

“hyunjin, what’s going on? mrs. jung just asked me to get you.”

hyunjin looked at him, his eyes an ocean of worry. “something’s not right.”

“what do you mean?”

“y/n. she’s not here.”

changbin looked at hyunjin, a puzzled look on his face. “perhaps she skipped school.”

hyunjin shook his head. “she would never do that.” suddenly, his gaze wandered to the right of his rather short friend, and he spotted a familiar looking backpack.

hyunjin’s eyes widened as he fast-walked over to it, changbin on his heels. “this is y/n’s backpack.”

changbin seemed to finally be able to put all the pieces together. “so she was here, but where did she go?”

“it must’ve been them again.” hyunjin angrily whispered, crouching down to look at the backpack. it looked dusty, and there were shoe prints on them.

hyunjin felt a rush of anger flow through him. it could only be chihu and that stupid gang of friends that he leads. chihu was the school bully, yet he also was the most popular student in the entire school. he had many accounts of bullying under his belt, but his wealthy parents never believed that chihu would ever do such things. he was their precious baby. it didn’t help that the school never had evidence of him actually bullying the students, despite many students reporting him. hyunjin hated chihu. mostly for what he finds enjoyment in, but also for his recent interest in y/n.

one day, just out of the blue, chihu suddenly had taken a liking of her. in his eyes, she seemed easy to persuade. she had a kind heart, one that he wanted to play with as if it were a violin. y/n was never interested in chihu though. she knew about everything he has ever done to other students who he victimized, many for no apparent reason.

changbin sighed, not understanding why his friend seemed to bothered. to changbin, education was more important than y/n, but only because he didn’t think y/n was in any kind of trouble or needed help (of course, the backpack did throw him off a bit). “hyunjin, we can find her after class.”

hyunjin rolled his eyes as he stood up again, grabbing y/n’s backpack in the process. his heart was heavy as he imagined the state you were in, how you were feeling

“no.” hyunjin firmly said.

“look, i’m sure-”

hyunjin interrupted him. “changbin, please. you don’t understand the situation here. i won’t stop until i find y/n. she’s much more important at the moment. i need to see if she’s alright. she’s-” hyunjin paused, clenching his jaw in the process, “she’s my best friend.”

changbin’s gaze softened. he reached up to gently pat hyunjin’s shoulder, hoping to give him a sense of comfort and sympathy. “i’ll tell mrs. jung that you weren’t feeling well, or something.”

hyunjin felt the corners of his lips tug up. he flashed changbin a small, thankful smile. “thanks.”

changbin smiled before walking around him and heading into mrs. jung’s class. he closed the door afterwards, leaving hyunjin alone. hyunjin released a sigh as he glanced down at your backpack. he always imagined himself confronting chihu, but he was always too scared to actually do it. chihu was feared, he wanted to be feared. besides, if he ever were to report him, nothing would ever happen. no action would be taken. chihu would still walk the halls, almost like a criminal walking freely on the streets.

the school itself was messed up, but there was nothing hyunjin, or the students for that matter, could do about it.

hyunjin shook his head and continued to walk down the hallway. he didn’t have the slightest idea of where you were, and that worried him. he didn’t know if you were hurt or crying... he was clueless. you were the closest person in his life, his best friend. although, as cliche as it sounded, hyunjin had a huge crush on you. he cared for you, he trusted you, thought you were the cutest person alive. you were smart, and funny most days, and you were always there for him when he needed it. and he was always there for you, even though sometimes you told him you were fine when you clearly were not. he hated how you did that.

hyunjin was growing more and more frustrated with each passing second. the halls were empty, and he had no idea where you could be. a thought of you possibly going home did cross his mind, but he just wasn’t sure.

finally, hyunjin glanced towards the restrooms after having walked in a complete circle, now heading in the direction of his first period classroom. he wondered if you had ran into there. his guess was that something had happened in the hallway (where he had found your backpack) with chihu and his gang, and that you ran to the nearest safe place you could find.

hyunjin felt a shred of anxiety as he approached the restrooms. it was the ladies’ side, so naturally he was scared to go in, let alone knock. it would be inappropriate to do so. still, hyunjin heaved a long sigh, calming down his nerves and worries. he then knocked.

there wasn’t a reply, or any sound. hyunjin knocked again, wincing slightly as he checked the hallways to see if anyone was coming. someone would have the shock of their life finding a guy, a young male, knocking on the door of the women’s restroom. he would be beyond embarrassed if that happened. hyunjin shook his head, clearing away all excuses if someone were to, perhaps, find him. y/n could be in there, he reminded himself.

finally, with a shaking hand, he reached down and pushed the door handle down. only it hardly moved. the door was locked. hyunjin sileny cursed in his head. how was he going to get you to unlock the door? would you even hear him if he yelled? he scoffed with that thought. someone was bound to hear him yell, and he didn’t really want a random student or teacher finding him.

“y/n?”

there still wasn’t a single sound.

“it’s hyunjin.” he continued, raising his voice a bit.

this time, hyunjin jiggled the door handle, knocking a third time. “please let me in.” he felt his face heat up. “i understand this is the ladies’ room, but let me in.”

hyunjin didn’t expect a response this time. his hand lazily fell against his side. with a long face, hyunjin was in the midst of turning around to head to class when the door opened. he turned, quite surprised.

you had unlocked and opened the door, just before turning and heading back to the corner in which you had resided. hyunjin glanced around the hallway once more before hurrying inside, locking the door once more. he felt nervous. he had been so worried about finding you, hoping that you were alright, and hadn’t thought about what he would actually say to you.

he gently set down your backpack on top of the counter, right next to the sink, before taking off his own backpack. he cleared his throat and cautiously walked towards you. “y/n?” he asked softly.

you had pulled your knees to your chest and rested your chin on top. you were staring blankly at the floor, a slight pout on your face. hyunjin could see that your eyes and nose were slightly red, barely visible bags under your eyes. seeing the state that you were in, hyunjin was infuriated, but he kept his anger under control. he was going to be there for you.

carefully, he sat down next to you, leaving a few inches of space just in case. he pulled his own knees up to his chest, mirroring you only instead he rested his cheek on top of his knees so that he could look at you. “are you okay?”

you hesitated, the feeling of wanting to cry coming back just after you had managed to stop. you shook your head as a response.

hyunjin sighed. “what did they do?”

you felt a tear slowly fall down your cheek. you shrugged, “nothing that they haven’t done before.”

the pain in your voice plucked at hyunjin’s heartstrings. the strain, the crack, the sadness, he hated seeing you liked this. the moments when you were at your brightest, when you smiled at his jokes, when you grinned after almost tripping because you didn’t tie your shoes properly, or when you jumped every time hyunjin came up to you to scare you, he missed you, he missed the times when you felt happy. but all of that seemed to be gone, all thanks to chihu.

“did you fall? your backpack was on the ground in the hallway.”

you shook your head. “i don’t really want to talk about it.”

hyunjin sighed, his gaze shifting away from your face. “you know i’m here for you, right?”

he noticed the corner of your lip, it tugged up just a single millimeter after he said those words. he felt his heart lighten just a bit. “i know.” you said.

“do you want me to stay with you?”

you nodded.

as another idea came to him, hyunjin felt himself smiling a bit. “should we ditch?”

you looked at him for the first time. hyunjin noticed that you had a faint sparkle in your eyes. there was a small smile on your face. “should we?”

he grinned, leaning closer to your face. “if it makes you feel better.”

----

hyunjin had bought you the biggest sized bowl that the ice cream parlor could offer. you tried to get a small one, or at least a medium sized one, but hyunjin was not having it. he even told the old lady that was working the parlor to not listen to you when you said you wanted a smaller serving, earning a genuine laugh from her. she fondly shook her head as she scooped ice cream into the bowl. “why aren’t you two just the cutest?” she said as she handed him the bowl.

hyunjin grinned, reaching for two spoons. you, on the other hand, blushed.

hyunjin grabbed your hand, flashing another sweet smile at the lady as you and him left the shop to sit at a table outside underneath an umbrella. he even pulled out the chair for you, like the gentleman he was.

“hyunjin, i honestly thought you were getting this bowl just for me.”

he chuckled, handing you your spoon. “nope. we’re sharing, because sharing is caring and that’s what best friends do.”

you laughed quietly, eating the bite of ice cream on your spoon. he had ordered your favorite flavor, stating that he was going to do what it takes to make you forget about the horrible morning that you had faced alone. deep down, every time he thought about it, hyunjin felt guilty. he was blaming himself for not being there for you. he had shown up at school later than normal, all because he had slept in.

“hyunjin!” his ears picked up.

hyunjin seemed to have spaced out into his universe of thoughts. he looked up, recognizing your puzzled face, seeing that his spoon was close to the ice cream as if he was about to get some. he felt a wave of confusion wash over him. “sorry?”

“i asked if you were okay.” you clarified, a light laugh coming from you.

another thing hyunjin adored about you. you had a terrible day and the main focus of this hangout was to make you feel better, and yet you were worried about it. you cared about him after all, just as much as hyunjin cared for you.

“oh!” he laughed shyly, finally scooping some ice cream. “yeah, i’m fine.” he flashed a smile.

you stared at hyunjin a bit longer before getting some more ice cream. it was good, it tasted sweet, and it was even better all because of the fact that your very crush and best friend had bought it and was sharing it with you. your heart fluttered at the thought of hyunjin. he was constantly worried about you, mainly because of that man. dare you say his name. perhaps you should tell hyunjin what happened.

“he pushed me.” you said out of the blue.

hyunjin stared at you, eyes wide with curiosity. “what?”

you swallowed hard, questioning whether your stomach could take another bite of ice cream. you decided that you were too sick with the thought of chihu. “chihu.” you sighed, avoiding your best friend’s eyes. “he pushed me. twice.”

hyunjin’s gaze darkened. you sensed a change in the atmosphere between you and hyunjin. he no longer was the happiest person alive. now, he seemed annoyed, as if he was writhing in a bowl of hot and angry fire, but was trying his best not to let it out of control.

“my back is a little sore because of it.” you continued slowly.

hyunjin inhaled deeply. “i swear. i don’t think i’m going to be able to hold back when i see his face next.”

“hyunjin-” you tried to calm him down.

“no!” he burst. “i can’t let this go. this is way too far! it’s fucking wrong that he gets to get away with everything that he had done, despite all the accounts that have been reported. damn rich people.”

“hyunjin. it really is okay.”

“it’s not! y/n, he is physically causing harm on you, and that is not okay.”

you looked at hyunjin, a sad, sympathetic look in your eyes. hesitantly, you reached across the table and took his free hand. immediately, hyunjin grabbed a hold of your hand, squeezing hard as if it was relieving him of all the anger in his body. he angrily set down his spoon, using that same hand to run his fingers through his dark locks. he sighed, attempting to maintain his composure.

you gently caressed his hand with your thumb, looking into his eyes. “hyunjin.” you softly called.

he met your eyes finally. his cheeks reddened out of embarrassment. he looked cute in that moment, despite having just exploded. you blushed slightly. “sorry.” he apologized, his gaze traveling over to your interlocked hands.

“let’s drop the topic.” you suggested. “the purpose of this ditch day was to take a break from school and everyone that attends it.”

hyunjin smiled. “right.”

you, very much begrudgingly, released his hand, replacing it with your spoon. your hand felt cold now. it felt empty, as if something was missing.

for the rest of the day, you and hyunjin hung out and spent the day together, forgetting about everything that was going on at school. you felt even closer to hyunjin, more than you’ve ever felt before.

while walking through a park, hyunjin checked the time on his phone. “school’s over.”

you sighed happily, inhaling the cool autumn air. “what a day.”

“right? i’m exhausted.” hyunjin chuckled.

you nodded, agreeing with him. “should we go home now?”

hyunjin looked at you, as if thinking about it, but then nodded. “i guess.”

it seemed that neither you nor hyunjin wanted to separate and go home. you always enjoyed his company. he was always so happy and outgoing and positive, always trying to cheer you up. he was just what you needed in your life. hyunjin was your other half. if only he could know that.

the walk home was peaceful. the day was cooling down, there was hardly any annoying noise, other than a car that would occasional drive by. hyunjin was walking you home, and you had a lot of fun with him, having spent the entire day. but, something seemed off with him.

“hyunjin.” you asked as you walked towards your house, hyunjin a few steps behind you. “you okay?”

he looked up, seeming to be confused. you laughed. “you’ve been spacing out all day.” you sat down on the steps in front of your door and patted the vacant space next to you.

hyunjin sat down, a small huff leaving his lips.

“talk to me.”

he looked at you, eyes scanning over every single detail on your face. his gaze was soft and loving, and you were on the verge of melting under it. he looked cute, and your gut was flipping endless somersaults. perhaps, he was going to say something…

“just tired is all.” his gaze was quickly averted to the concrete.

your felt your heart drop, and a lump formed in your throat. you had gotten your hopes up for nothing.

you sighed again, inhaling the air until it filled your lungs. you brought your arms up and crossed them over your chest, bringing your knees up. there was another silence between you and hyunjin, only this time it wasn’t so comfortable.

you felt your heart beat rapidly as you sat next to hyunjin, your mind racing with thoughts that only seemed to add to your feelings of sadness and emptiness. you wanted hyunjin, you loved him, and yet, it seemed that it would never turn out how you wanted it to.

hyunjin was the only light in your life. sure, you had amazing parents that cared for you, but they didn’t know what was going on at school. the very first day that chihu chose you to be his next target of torment, hyunjin was right by your side. he defended you, sometimes even taking a punch once or twice. you always felt a twist of guilt in your stomach every time an image of hyunjin with his black eye came to your head. you had never felt so bad in your life.

“hyunjin.” you sighed.

he looked at you, a shy look on his face. perhaps he had been wrapped up in his own thoughts, just as you had.

“thank you.” you whispered into the air. “thank you for being by my side and standing up against chihu. thank you for comforting me and helping me and being there for me. i don’t think i could ever express how thankful i am to have you in my life.”

hyunjin felt the corners of his lips tug up into a smile. his stomach felt uneasy, as if he had eaten a million butterflies earlier. he shifted a bit before looking at you. you caught the redness in his cheeks underneath the small light above you, hanging above the door. you felt your heart skip a beat, and you grinned.

suddenly, however, a feeling overcame you. you didn’t have time to think about it fully. your body was already leaning forward, but the best part was, hyunjin wasn’t moving away. in fact, he looked as if he was surprised, but in a good way. and when your face was close enough to his, he didn’t flinch or move away. that was a good sign. hesitantly, you pressed your chin up and pressed your lips against his own. his lips were soft and plump, and honestly you felt like you were going to have a heart attack at how fast your heart was beating, or experience a heat stroke from how hot your face felt.

when you pulled away, you shifted nervously. there was a distinct blush in your face, and it reciprocated hyunjin’s cheeks. he was staring at you, and you began to feel restless under his stare. you wondered if you should escape into your house, but you remained still, staring into hyunjin’s starry eyes.

however, you did not anticipate his next move. as if coming out of the blue, in a split second, hyunjin was kissing you again, this time harder, full of passion and love. his hand came up to caress your cheek as he kissed you. his hand was so warm. it felt as if every time his fingers grazed along the skin of your cheek, a trail of fire erupted where his fingers once touched.

hyunjin was surprised by his own actions. his eyes were wide when he pulled away, and his cheeks were as red as cherries. you were blushing as much as he was, there also was a smile on your face.

you chuckled lightly, hugging yourself tightly. hyunjin snapped out of his daze, averting his gaze away from you. a smile was slowly coming to his face. “damn.” he mumbled.

“that was really...nice.”

“well, i guess i’ll get going now.” he spoke, clearing his throat afterwards.

you weren’t going to lie, you felt a bit sad that hyunjin was leaving. but, you had to remind yourself that you had spent the entire day with him, and shared a rather blissful kiss with him. you chewed on your bottom lip as hyunjin dusted off the back of his pants and began to walk away from your house. “see you tomorrow!” he suddenly yelled, whipping around and walking backwards.

you grinned. “see you!”

after watching his dark silhouette disappear into the night, you let out a giggle. you couldn’t believe what had just happened. after getting all of your emotions out, you finally stood up and let yourself into your house, heading to your bedroom to get ready for bed.

----

the next morning, you were a little nervous for the day. you hardly ever were (except for the fact that you would most likely be facing chihu at some point in the day). your very first thought as soon as your mind came to was hyunjin. you felt the familiar feeling of butterflies in your stomach, and a blush would come to your cheeks every time you thought about him. he was adorable and funny, and your best friend, but now you you couldn’t help but wonder if things were going to change between you and him. after all, after you kissed him, he kissed you back.

suddenly, you heard your mom yell through your door. “if you don’t leave now, you’re going to be late.”

a wave of panic jolted you out of your bed. you hurriedly changed before going downstairs. you swept your backpack off of the chair in the dining room before placing a kiss on your mother’s cheek. she laughed, asking you what got you so happy. you didn’t reply.

you bid a quick goodbye before practically running out of the door and heading to school. you had a smile on your face the entire way. you would giggle, bite your lip, blush, all at the thought of the heated kiss with your very own best friend and potentially love of your life. hwang hyunjin, you motherfucker…

your happy attitude, much to your surprise, didn’t last long. you had forgotten all about the people at school, you had forgotten about chihu, which was a blessing. hyunjin had occupied your mind. so, when you walked into the building, you were bewildered when you were suddenly pushed into the lockers.

“what’s got you all happy this morning?” chihu laughed, grinning devilishly.

your happy and rather confident thoughts withered away in a heartbeat. you now felt fear and anxiety, and because your feelings had changed so drastically, your happiness completely replaced, tears started to well up in your eyes. you had felt happy for the first time in a long time, you looked forward to the day. and now, that was all gone.

“answer me!” he suddenly yelled, his face an inch away from yours.

you felt tears slip.

“so weak.” suddenly chihu slammed both of his hands against the lockers on either side of your head, causing you to scream.

“stop it!” you yelled angrily. you attempted to push him away, but you could hardly see through your tears.

he only laughed at your attempts and pushed you again. “don’t touch me.” he growled.

you looked up when you caught sight of a shadow, and noticed that it came from chihu as he raised his arm up. you knew he was going to hit you, all because you tried to fight back. you were angry, you hated chihu. you wanted to stand up for yourself and get him to back off. but chihu never took no for an answer.

you flinched as the hand came down, only you never felt a thing. instead you heard a gasp come from one of his female friends (or rather admirer). you hesitantly glanced up, finding chihu wide-eyed. then, that’s when you saw who had saved you.

hyunjin.

now you were the one that looked shocked. you hadn’t expected it, not one bit.

“don’t you dare touch, y/n.”

you felt your heart begin to beat loudly in your ears. blood was rushing to your head, and now you could see that this was not going to end well, despite hyunjin coming to your aide.

you swallowed hard. “hyunjin.” you quietly said, reaching up to grab hold of hyunjin’s wrist. he had an iron grip on chihu’s forearm.

he was not going to let go.

“hyunjin.” you said louder.

“what are you going to do about it?” chihu challenged, tearing his arm out of hyunjin’s grasp.

hyunjin stepped in front of you, completely blocking you. he stepped towards chihu with his eyebrows furrowed with anger. suddenly, before your brain could even register what was happening, hyunjin punched chihu square in the jaw, and chihu was stumbling backward across the hallway.

“hyunjin!”

a crowd was beginning to form. from what you could see, it was just that they were surprised but the sudden fight in the middle of the hallway.

chihu pushed himself forward, running like a mad bull into hyunjin, pushing him against the lockers just as he had done to you just a few minutes earlier. you were scared, now for hyunjin.

before the fight could get too serious, luckily, a few teachers pushed themselves through the circle of students and tore apart hyunjin and chihu.

they were breathing heavily, neither of them able to tear their eyes off of each other. your jaw hung open as they were escorted away, the teachers guiding them to the principal’s office. you wanted to come with, you were essentially the cause of the fight. but apparently the teachers had no knowledge of that. that is until you were called down to the office thirty minutes later, in the middle of first period.

you were slightly nervous to talk to the principal. he told you about other accounts of chihu’s torment. you couldn’t help but feel a slight pang of anger course through your body, of course. the principal knew about them but had done nothing. but now, it seemed as if you were the last straw. you told him everything that’s he’s ever done and said to you. and the teacher, while leaving the students’ anonymous, mentioned other details and stories.

finally, chihu was going away, at least for a little while. you weren’t sure of his actual punishment, that was confidential. but you knew that you wouldn’t be seeing him. you finally felt relief.

as for hyunjin, however, despite helping you, he had to be suspended for a few days, just for starting the actual fight.

when hyunjin came back, there was a different feeling in the atmosphere.

you arrived at school just a few minutes earlier than he did. you weren’t scared to walk around school. although you felt the need to listen and peek around every corner, you knew that chihu was nowhere near you.

you waited by the doors, waiting patiently for hyunjin to return from his suspension. the days were quite lonely without your best friend (or perhaps not so best friend, who knows?) by your side.

when hyunjin opened the doors of the school, you immediately grinned. you smiled and watched him, waiting for him to notice you. and when he did, a prominent blush presented in his cheeks. he had a slight bruise underneath his eye, but it looked as if it was healing pretty well. a relief…

you and hyunjin closed the distance between you two. you blushed more and more as you grew closer to him, feeling the familiar feelings of anxiety in your stomach. finally, something was going to happen. you could feel it in your bones, deep in the pit of your stomach.

hyunjin seemed much more shy than normal. but in your eyes, he looked adorable.

“hey.” you greeted.

a light, sharp breath came out of his nose, a smile on his face. “hey.”

“how was your suspension?” you asked, rocking on the heels and balls of your feet.

“not gonna lie,” he began, “it was nice.”

you nodded. “thank you for being there for me, hyunjin, once again.”

he looked deep into your eyes. “what kind of friend would i be if i wasn’t there for you?”

you stared at him. your next thought was rather audacious, but you felt that it was the perfect moment for it. “are we even friends at this point?”

“what do you mean?”

you felt your cheeks heat up. “i mean, we shared that one intimate moment at my house.”

hyunjin blushed. “you’re right.” he suddenly inhaled deeply before reaching down to grasp both of your hands in his own. immediately your felt a rush of warmth run up your fingers and around your hands, going up your arms, almost like an electric shock. he stepped closer to you, making the moment feel much more intimate. “y/n, i am in love of you. and i think you’re in love with me too.”

you laughed. “you’re not wrong.”

hyunjin flashed you a smile before leaning his head down. you followed, only you pushed yourself upward. for a split second, you forgot about chihu, you forgot about all of the other students wandering in the hallway, you forgot for a split second that you were at school. your mind was clouded with hyunjin, he was occupying all of your senses; smell, touch, sight, sound, and finally, taste.

feeling hyunjin’s lips on yours a second time was like reliving your first kiss. the emotions felt new and surreal, the moment was passionate. it was happening all over again. you were completely smitten. and you could tell hyunjin was too.

“he can’t hurt you anymore.” he whispered after he pulled away from you, hands still grasping yours.

hyunjin had always been a good friend, your best friend. he was willing to help you through anything and be by your side. he was there to make you laugh and smile, and sometimes cry from the stupid things he’ll do in public, like clapping his heels together in the air, or dancing randomly while crossing an intersection in the city, or when you record him and he’ll make funny faces… hyunjin was the light in your life that you needed to have in order to be complete.

sure you still had your entire life ahead of you, but you had a feeling that hyunjin was going to play a significant part in it.

So... Let’s Talk RWBY

I have seen a bit of RWBY before cuz dad likes Rooster Teeth’s stuff, but this past 2 weeks or so I’ve been binge-watching it.

*inhale*

OMC THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!!!

I can’t wait for Volume 9. I am obsessed with Bumbleby. I already have weird head canons for Blake, Yang and the Branwen twins (separately).

I highly encourage you to watch the show. The animation in the first 2-3 seasons is a little rough but it’s more than made up for by the amazing storyline and characters. It’s also the first ever American-made anime (or something like that idk look it up).

You can watch it for free on Rooster Teeth’s website if your ok with ads. (There were multiple moments before I asked for our account info where the ads interrupted a really tense moment lol. I screamed on the inside cuz there were multiple people in the room 😂)

Anyways now I have another topic to rant about. Sorry in advance.

Health/Fanfic Update

So, it probably hasn’t escaped many peeps’ notice that lately, I’ve mostly been reblogging things and maybe occasionally posting oneshots.

In all honesty, I’ve been swamped. Between events and zines which I have committed to (some of which you’ll hopefully see the results of soon), and my own health, it’s been impossible to work on my other fics in any meaningful way.

Without going into too many health details (because it’s frankly pretty boring), I’ve been struggling with a lot of medical fatigue over the last few months which has basically set me behind on more or less everything. I’m calling it a day on Inktober for now (although I do still mean to complete the prompts at some stage) because I just can’t manage the extra workload. It was a nice idea, but it’s not gonna happen at the moment.

The most pressing of my deadlines and (hopefully) my major health hiccough will be over by the end of October...which leads me into another NaNoWriMo. As an ML for my region...yeah. Still going to be pretty busy!

However. I’m being a realist this year, and much as I do have a brand new novel idea which I could start on the 1st November, fresh and hyped for all the fun and chaos of half-planned antics...that’s not going to happen. Rather than add to my workload, I’m using this NaNo to try and wrap up at least one or two projects. At the moment I’m expecting that to primarily be fanfiction, but I have some original novels which need some serious love too.

Basically, watch this space! I’m not sure how much time/energy I’ll have to tidy up my scribblings during November itself, but at the very latest, by December I hope to have an update or two for all or most of my major WIPs. And to give an idea of just how ridiculous a task it is that I’m setting myself, here’s a compilation image of literally every fanfiction project I have across the four scrivener files I started for this purpose. I’ve edited together the binder menu at the side, because otherwise this would be some serious image spam:

For the purposes of the Great Fanfic Update Project I am only counting those fics which I’ve actually started posting, but that still leaves me with ten or eleven stories to finish chapters for during my 30 days, not counting original fiction. I feel like that’s a reasonable challenge. Here’s to optimism, and the possibility of ticking at least one of these dratted WIP’s off my list!

...Maybe someday I’ll even finish a novel, eh? Ahh, dreams...

EDIT: But Tott, you say, why has this been posted here, and not on, say, your actual fanfiction account? Who actually cares?

In all honesty, I could have posted this over there first. But I feel like the point about my health and how that’s affecting me made this general enough news to warrant it making the main blog. To clarify, I’ve had a lot of fatigue and illness in recent months, and that’s also affected this main blog. It’s 95% reblogs and very little other stuff right now, and that’s kinda..not why I joined tumblr?

I want to get back to a slightly more balanced mix where I add to the shenanigans rather than just sharing memes and political posts. I’m optimistic that it will actually happen soon now, after a long, long summer of feeling overwhelmed by pretty much everything. We shall see, eh?

#tott's life #progress update #long post #The Great Fanfic Update Project #one of these days I really WILL finish a novel #but today is not that day
