#it's going to be such a roller coaster ride!

[acepandemi]

My dad was born in 1947, when the Dutch vaccination programm was... not what it is today, to say the least. So, he was never vaccinated. When he was still a little boy, he caught both measles AND mumps at the same time!! He survived, but both illnesses combined to cause the mother of all inner-ear infections, which basically ate away at the structure of his inner ears untill they resembled swiss cheese that had acid dumped over it.

Result? Permanent hearing loss (one ear is completely "dead", the other has some slight hearing left), balance issues (since the centre of balance is in the inner ear) that mean he gets super dizzy if the wind blows into his ears and loses balance in the dark/without visual cues (he's also never been able to ride a roller coaster or most other funfair rides), chronic ear infections, and more. He can't go swimming, because he can't get water in his ears, or else it's infection time again. He's had more ear surgeries than he can count, not to mention regular periodic treatments to clean out his ears (which always leave him dizzy and nauseous, but at least his current doctor is nice and doesn't tie his hands behind his back like his pediatrician used to do to stop him from "squirming"). He has hearing aids, really expensive ones, but still largely relies on lip-reading to understand the people around him.

These completely preventable diseases gave him permanent health issues.

Get your fucking vaccinations.

Sevika idea? Modern AU. Sevika and Reader (mostly reader because Sevika just grumbles about it) decide to take Jinx and Isha to an amusement park for the first time. Sevika is..... okay with it? But it's not her thing..

..That is until they get there and Sevika goes into full dad mode when she rides a rollercoaster with the two and now she can't stop because she wants to ride everything with them.

GOD GOD GOD i love fluffy fluffy fluff like this omg

men and minors dni

the girls sit you down one evening, both of them wearing determined looks and wearing one of sevika's old ties around their neck. jinx does most of the talking while isha hands out brochures and drawings.

"ladies, thank you for coming to this meeting." she greets. sevika rolls her eyes.

"you both forced us to come sit on the couch."

"shush." jinx flips sevika off quickly, before clearing her throat and continuing. "you may be wondering why we've asked you here today--"

"dragged." sevika corrects.

"hush!" jinx stomps her foot. isha glares at sevika. you elbow her. she sighs.

"fine, go."

"we have a business proposition for you." jinx announces. "in exchange for a month's allowance, we'd like you to take us to, drum roll please..."

isha pats her lap, giggling as you join in.

"randy's rollercoasters!" isha does a little twirl for emphasis.

sevika groans. you chuckle. isha hands you two brochures for randy's rollercoasters.

"now, hold on a second." you cut in. "we give you an allowance in exchange for your chores. you're telling me you'll clean the toilets without any pay? all month?" you ask.

jinx and isha nod, and isha crosses over her heart as a promise.

sevika grunts beside you. "and what are we supposed to do there while you two go on all the rides? stand in the hot sun and wait around all day?"

"oh, come on, sev! you can ride with us!"

"fuck no!"

"they sell beer." you mutter under your breath, pointing to the drinks and food section of your brochure. "we could just get tipsy and make out in dark corners while the kids ride."

jinx sticks her tongue out at the suggestion, but sevika seems intrigued. isha's blinking up at both of you with her hands folded under her chin, her gold eyes wide and watery as she waits for an answer.

sevika sighs, then groans. "fine."

the girls burst into cheers.

that's what you think will happen-- that the girls will have a great time and you and sevika will make the most of your day loitering around the park.

but then you get there, and isha gets spooked seeing how big the rollercoasters really are, and you and sevika promise to go on her first ride with her to show her it's safe.

but something about the thrill and watching her girls squeal with fear and excitement makes sevika all giddy and excited after the first ride.

it's adorable.

"have you never been on a roller coaster before, babe?"

"it's been almost twenty years!" she laughs, hoisting isha onto her shoulders. "okay, which one are we hitting next?" she asks jinx. isha squeals with excitement. you pout.

"we!? what about me?! i'll get sick if i go on another one of those rides."

sevika turns to you with a pout. your heart swells in your chest.

"c'mon, baby, please? just a few more rides, and i'm yours for the day. i just wanna do the log flume. and maybe the one with the loops."

"and the death dropper." jinx adds on. sevika nods.

"yeah, and the death dropper."

you examine your wife, laughter bubbling up in your lungs as you take in the excited, childlike glimmer in her eye. she's just as excited as isha and jinx. "you kids go have fun. if you need me, i'll be by the funnel cakes and beer." you say, shooing your family away toward the rides.

sevika grins, kissing your cheek and taking off with jinx at her side, isha cackling as they run toward the next ride.

so, you don't get to make out with your wife much. but you get a whole bunch of fun pictures of your family on the rides, a lot of cotton candy, and three million watt smiles from your girls and wife every time they come off a ride.

when the day winds down and the girls get tired, you walk around the carnival booths on the park grounds, letting isha and jinx play games and win bears.

sevika's got an arm slung around your shoulders, a smile on her lips. "'m sorry i abandoned you today." she says. you laugh.

"are you kidding? i had a blast today. getting to watch you three have all that fun, snacking and drinking to my heart's content-- we should do this every weekend." you suggest.

isha and jinx both perk up at that. sevika cackles. "no! no, we can not afford that. but, we can come back for isha's birthday." she suggests.

isha wins you a teddy bear with one of the darts games, then sevika gets jealous and tries to win you one of the strength testers. only, she hits the hammer so hard it's handle snaps in half, and the attendant has to close the stand for the night.

you buy the girls slushies then pile into the ferris wheel.

the sun is setting on the horizon, lighting up the little cart the four of you sit in. isha and jinx are chattering to themselves with their faces pressed against the glass, giving you and sevika some semblance of privacy on your little seat.

"you really had fun today?" sevika asks. you smile and nod.

"it was amazing. i love hearing you all laugh like that. especially you." you say.

sevika grins and swoops in to kiss you, just as your cart reaches the top of the wheel.

the girls 'ooh' and 'aah' and the height and the sights, and then they both groan when they turn around and find you two kissing.

taglist!

Hi, I wanted to pop in and say that I’m loving Africa so much! I never read wips but I made an exemption for this one! And I love that it’s all Ian point of view, which is my favorite and I love photography so this fic is like perfect for me and I’m loving every chapter.

I see on ao3 that it’s going to be 35 chapters. Do you have those all planned out? Do you know how many words you think it might be? I’m obsessed with it!

Anon I love yououoououo 🥰🧡

Thank you for making an exception! I know it can be hard to read a wip! I struggle with it and I'm the one writing it!! Waiting for the day they invent a way to translate my thoughts directly onto paper 😂 (I'm seriously so bad at the suspense, I want to tell everyone the full plot NOW 😂)

Oh yes! The whole thing is planned out! I'm still contemplating spreading it out over more chapters because the last ones might be... super duper long... The first 20 chapters were written out almost completely, which is why I can post these fairly quickly, but the rest is still a rough draft. On average, chapters are 10k each, and at the moment it will be around 375k when finished BUT when I originally drafted the story I didn't want it to end 🥺 and I wrote a 30k ending that's not included in that 375k 😂 I'm going to make that more compact but I would not be surprised if I went massively over that 375k 😂 there's a looooot of story left to tell... to be honest, we haven't really gotten started yet..... 👀😏🦁🪶🦒

[coolstar-girl]

Anytime a person is talking about falling out of a plane, or bunji jumping, or riding a roller coaster, and their words are “it tickles a lot!” “Oh, it doesn’t tickle as much” “it tickles a little bit, but the feeling will go away” “it don’t tickle at all all!” JUST FUCKING SAY “FEEL IT”.

Me thinking about tickling when I shouldn't think about tickling

Seeing the letters 'TK' whether it's short for someone's name, letters on a car license plate or somewhere else.

The words ticking, tricking, trickling, and any others looking like tickling.

Also the words: giggling, wiggling, squirming, scribbling, and probably a lot more than that.

Seeing M/F or F/M on a job vacancy.

When a person wiggles their fingers. Why do people do that if it's not in a tickle context.

Anytime the T-word is used, even when it doesn't really mean tickling in the context!

In movies/TV shows anytime a character is pinned down or tied up. Especially when their arms are above their head, like how can people not think of tickling in that scenario hahaha.

Seeing the name Lee, either as first or last name, which happens a lot actually.

The brand Lee on T-shirts etc. why do I see this so much (I own a shirt but I mean besides that).

When I see someone petting a cat or dog by scratching their tummy, or wiggling their fingers in a specific way when petting their head.

Feathers: seeing feathers, seeing the word, the pattern on clothing or a print, anything related to feathers = tickle thoughts.

Seeing two people playfully wrestling with each other. I can only translate it into a tickle fight in my head haha.

Massages, smh especially when it's a foot massage.

A person stretching their arms, either to stretch out or just grab something.

roller coaster aki makes me wanna go on one with him even tho we both wouldn't want to in the first place

going on a roller coaster with aki except we're both terrified (aki tries to act like he isn't) and only forced to go because denji and power begged you to

watching the color drain from his face and his grip on the handlebar tighten when the ride starts ascending before it drops and hearing our poor babygirl scream in pure terror

when I was a kid I completely panicked on my first solo roller coaster and I forgot holding onto the handle bars and instead hugged the random woman beside me while screaming for dear life 😭😭

....I'd do that to aki.

he'd start panicking even more cause I'm starting to slip so he'd have to wrap an arm around me and hold the handle bar for me.... thank you aki

THIS PIC OF HIM IS SO SILLY I CAN'T TELL IF HE'S HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE OR IF HE'S SCREAMING IN FEAR 😭😭😭😭 POOR AKI

aki is totally scared of roller coasters... he's definitely like, "yeah, I'll ride whatever you want with you" because he doesn't want to disappoint you. but then he gets on the ride and he's holding on for dear life. maybe starts screaming so loud. you get off the ride and he's like hold on..... has to try not to puke lol

[jmdbjk]

The gut punch.

Hobi’s eyes in this Weverse live... them knowing that we don’t know all the things... how do they keep it all together? This inevitable situation they must grapple with and work through and come out the other side. Hobi visited with his family recently. We thought something might be up but then a little time passed and we continued to skip along merrily, unaware... and now here we are. 

I am so glad Jimin visited Hobi during his bday live... it’s always so bittersweet when we can look back at things and say “they knew it then and they had to act like everything was ok.”

Time has a weird way of simultaneously accelerating and grinding to a halt depending on what we are applying it to. As a year, 2023 is moving right along...it’s already almost March! Grass is growing! Sun is shining! Mosquitos are back! 

Seems like we were just watching Hobi at New Year’s Rockin’ Eve trying not to slip on that cold, rainy stage. Seems like we were just frantic to know where is Jimin!? And WHEN was Jimin’s album coming?? We knew it had to be soon... and then the release date dropped and now Jimin is all over the place. And we still have photo folios coming at us. And the Suga/Agust D tour coming... and now Hobi’s On the Street! and the ball is rolling faster and faster. Time is spinning, spinning faster... 

And then we think about Jin. The Astronaut was released 4 months ago. Jinnie has been gone just a little over 2 months, yet it seems like he’s been gone for months upon months. Time slows down so much when I think about how long its been since we’ve seen Jin in real time. 

I thought after these few months of Jin being gone, the next announcement wouldn’t hurt so bad but this really hurts. It was like a gut punch. 

Y’all... I’m not sure how I will handle it when we get the “Hello, this is BigHit Music” for Jimin’s enlistment announcement. I never in a million years would have guessed “who is that blonde cutie” would turn into needing to take a week off work to cope with him enlisting in the military. Please, make it make sense.

I keep thinking about Jimin trying to keep us and himself grounded by saying things like “we’re not celebrities (who enjoy red carpet events)” and “I am just a goofy friend in sweatpants who loves soju.” At his essence, yes, that’s who he is. Unfortunately, we don’t have the privilege of seeing any hints of his real life because the hatefulness that exists in the world has taken that away from us.

But Jimin reminds us from time to time that he is just a regular guy who enjoys simple pleasures.

What he does show us is Jimin of BTS. The idols’ idol. He is always wanting to show us his good side. He wants to always be “pretty” for us. He works hard at his job and he does it very well. Like...he’s the best there is in the industry.

We know he’s working himself into the ground with his solo work. When it is his time to enlist, he will leave knowing he’s put his heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears into it. I went back and re-read his Weverse article from June of last year. He said back then that he did not want to spend this next year being half-assed with what he was doing. He was going to do it “properly.” 

We’ve heard several of the members state how hard Jimin’s been working. We’ve heard it from the mouths of people who have worked with him as well. His solo work will be just as amazing as he is.

There is a gap in Jimin’s album promo map... to allow for Yoongi’s concert ticket sales and for Hobi’s On the Street release. We get confused regarding the timing of all of their activities. There are lots of moving parts we don’t know about. And solos and mantis screaming unrealistically about unfairness and mistreatment add to the confusion, regardless of how it’s all carefully planned out as best as possible and regardless how many times the members each implore us to trust them. More than ever, it is imperative to ignore the haters and the people trying to misdirect our attention.

We do not know the reasons for, or the how or the why each member decides when they will go ahead and enlist. That is a very personal and private thing for them. They make the decision according to what is best for themselves. We are not entitled to know their reasons for that decision. There are a lot of things they consider and they plan everything the best they can with every other member’s plans for enlistment and solo work because they respect each other. Also, the company can see the big picture as to how to give everything the best chance for the best outcome. Is it all perfect? No. Humans are involved. They simply asked us to trust them.

The exact timing of enlistment maybe hasn't been set in stone for each of them since last year but they are weighing and considering all the moving parts and they pretty much know, if not the day they will set it in motion, at least the very small window when they will. I think all of the releases and timings of it all have been planned as best as possible regarding all this and the solos and mantis can scream mistreatment and unfairness all they want but this is real fucking life. Wheels within wheels are constantly turning... yes. They asked us to trust them.

I think we should be grateful for everything they’ve done and the sacrifices they’ve made because truthfully, they owe none of that to us with the way parts of this fandom move. 

Do you believe they are strong individuals? Do you feel they are reliable? Have they ever let us down? They asked us for our trust and our blessing. 

Let’s give it to them unconditionally.

We’ve seen hints of Joonie working...will it be a parting gift too?

And these Weverse conversations they have amongst each other will eventually turn into their group conversations and we will collectively lose our minds when they happen. Time rolls on without regard to our feelings.

I wish amusement parks were more accessible. and also less expensive. and also it wasn't eight million degrees outside.
