Real & true (every time I come across Jin content I react as if I won the lottery)

[thatswhatsushesaid]

currently thinking about just how much su minshan was willing to sacrifice--of himself, and of other people who relied on and trusted in him--to protect jin guangyao

goes 2 my knees, clutches my hair

[chronomally]

I was watching ep 10 trying to like carefully pinpoint what makes Meng Yao hate Nie Mingjue so much that he brain explodes him and desecrates his corpse, and I really do think it's Nie Mingjue refusing to execute him for his (perceived) crimes and instead sending him away from the Unclean Realm and warning him to never return

[khr-guilded-cage]

Rebloging because I am like this

logically understand that arguments like "oh this character from x show is bad bc [insert a weird age gap, ruthless emotional manipulation, outting somebody etc]. oh and the mass murder i guess" is bc most ppl dont know a mass murderer irl, but they do know somebody whos done/been impacted by the first thing???????

but that will never make it any less jarring and a slightly funny

Hi! I would love to read a JC and WWX post and how it is diff from what you’ve seen in western media!

I'd already started writing a JC post, so I wrapped that in to answer your question.

I follow a few JC fans so I see the backlash to the haters more than I see any haters, but apparently there’s some question in some people’s mind about whether Jiang Cheng loves Wei Wuxian, and I find that a little silly. That said, I think that to understand MDZS’s JC at all, you cannot just read the surface, so if you’re not thinking about him as a person or giving him any consideration beyond what other characters say and think of him, you’re not doing him justice. You’re also not going to see that he loves WWX and also loves several other people quite deeply, because a) JC's never going to be affectionate in his dialogue, b) JC's not going to even be affectionate in his body language or minor actions, and c) WWX, the main viewpoint character, is never once going to think about whether JC likes him or loves him.

Lots of posts have outlined better than I will how deeply loves not only WWX, but also his family, in particular JL. The short version is: JC’s his major flaws are all related to him loving his parents and getting shown very little affection in return—none at all from his father and only some in a backhanded way from his mother, usually in comparison to WWX.

As for Jin Ling, JC threatens him all the time, and even shoves him around a bit, but Jin Ling obviously adores JC and feels adored. JC is the one Jin Ling goes to when he's crying; JC is also the one who leaps to JL's side when JL is hurt. JL knows he's in trouble with JC when JL does something unsafe, but JL knows that his own safety is the most important thing in JC's life. Tellingly, JL rarely takes any of JC's threats seriously, and even tells other people said threats are bogus.

Then there’s WWX. Even while JC is berating WWX endlessly for making their clan look bad, he is literally carrying around WWX on his back. He is protecting WWX with everything he has. He sacrifices himself to the Wens to WWX won't get caught. After their falling out, after WWX lied to him for years and got their sister killed, JC still can't even stop himself from protecting WWX when WWX might get hurt by JGY's guqin string.

The guy is willing to throw himself on the fire for anyone he loves. Just heaven forbid he express any of it. But because he does not express love through speech, Wei Wuxian (who I will point out is a talker) doesn't understand this about Jiang Cheng—and this is shown to be a consistent flaw that WWX has. He also does not understand that LWJ is in love with him, despite LWJ defying all of society to follow him around and lift him onto donkeys whenever WWX gets droopy.

But I'd add the pretty much no one, other than Jin Ling, understands this about Jiang Cheng. If the cultivation world had understood JC, they would not have believed that JC and WWX had actually had a falling out. Part of the reason people don't know him is the same reason JC has such a terrible time with everything—WWX steals everyone's attention, praise, and fear wherever they go. No one is really looking at JC to admire his devotion or his loyalty, because WWX is there, doing it better than him, always. Imagine LWJ+WWX hadn’t defeated the Tortoise of Slaughter and had just been holed up in that cave for six days. All anyone would’ve talked about was how deeply JC must love his shixiong to make it back in such record time. It would all be “heroic rescue” this “unflagging loyalty” that. But instead, LWJ+WWX  had to really just steal the limelight.

In fact, the book is partly about the fact that people don't analyze people's actions too deeply. They believe what they hear. They believe what they want to believe. JC really can just say "I reject WWX" and they believe it. JGS can really just say "WWX is evil" and they believe it. Everybody says LWJ is perfect, so they believe he can't be a cut-sleeve who is in love with WWX. And WWX, who knows better than anyone that rumors aren't true, believes it too.

Even after WWX's death, JC's reputation is locked onto WWX. I do think this is JC’s own fault, given that he can’t accept his brother’s death and is obsessed with him but idk. Canon demonstrates that there’s a huge difference between what JC says he’ll do if he finds WWX and what JC actually does, and it’s not because LWJ is in the way. But no one really seems to pay attention to the difference between what JC says and what he actually does when the chips are down, except JL, so it’s no wonder everyone says he has torture dungeons, no matter how ludicrous that is.

I think what makes JC’s love for WWX particularly complex, and particularly incomprehensible in the eyes of the cultivation world, is WWX's position in JC's family. JC thought of WWX as a brother. He loved him like a brother. And yet JC was deeply aware that WWX wasn't his brother. JC's mom made sure that JC was deeply aware of that at all times, and you know what, so did his dad. And then, the rest of the cultivation world constantly talked about the fact that WWX was not a part of the family, that the Jiang Clan raised him like a son but he was really the son of a servant. MXTX expertly shows that this fact gets trotted out whenever WWX does something questionable--when WWX is brilliant, he's a lauded member of the clan, but when he is bad, he is of low-birth and adopted through charity. The truth is, it’s an unusual relationship for a world in which there’s a pretty big different between your clan (blood relatives) and sect.

How can JC hold both of these truths in his head? What makes it bearable for JC is that when they grow up, JC will be the Sect Leader and WWX will be his right-hand man; they will do everything together; they will be brilliant together; they never have to worry about blood or debt then, because then it won't matter whether they're brothers or best friends; the difference won't matter. They can both be the head of a family that they love. Except that doesn't happen.

JC’s parents die, and WWX disappears. I will, at this point in my understanding and credit to Jiang Cheng, say that the part about JC I find hardest to swallow is that he partially blames his parents' death on WWX. Yes, WWX stayed behind in the cave of the Tortoise of Slaughter to save LWJ, and yes, this meant that Wen Chao and WLJ have a particular grudge against him, which they use as partial excuse to attack Lotus Pier, but by god, that's a stretch. Lotus Pier would have been attacked anyway, and the fact that JC even partly blames the attack on WWX has far more to do with what his mom said about WWX showing off for the glory and bringing down the wrath of the Wens than it has to do with reality. YZY is going to say anything she can about how WWX being a hero with the Tortoise of Slaughter was actually a bad thing, because it's so fucking painful for her that WWX is a fucking legend when her son just . . . isn't.

As JGY points out, they were in fact the strongest sect once WWX comes back from the Burial Mounds and fights the Sunshot Campaign with JC. They could have been the power couple of JC’s dreams, but just as YZY pits JC against WWX, the cultivation world after the war pitted WWX against themselves and by extension, JC, and JC buys into it. I find this super understandable, and I think it’s pretty unfair to expect JC to be more understanding of WWX, given that WWX is constantly lying to him. Similarly, I think it’s pretty understandable that he doesn’t understand the plight of the Wens, given that WWX doesn’t explain it to him at all. From JC’s POV, WWX just leaves, at a time when JC really needs him, and he does it on a crusade for unrelated people—as though he never considered himself part of the family in the first place.

And you know what, that may be WWX’s POV too. He loves the Jiang family like his own family, but he’s also deeply aware that he is not blood. MXTX makes it very clear in canon that WWX felt that he owed the Jiang Clan, and not in the way you owe a family. That is—he doesn’t owe them his existence, but he thinks he does owe them his core and his cultivation. And he gives it all to JC.

I outlined above that the relationship between JC and WWX is unusual in the cultivation world given that they each feel like the other is family but are consistently reminded of the fact, and pressured to believe, that they are only sect siblings and that WWX is actually a subordinate. I also haven’t found many relationships like this in other media—though I’ll point out once again that my experience is mainly with western media. I think the closest things I can think of are stories in which the parties are of a different class but are raised together for whatever reason—because they actually are somewhat related but one of them has low class relatives, or because they were not as well-supervised in their youth but  one of them suddenly comes into money and is forced to leave his low-class BFF behind, etc.

Given that this relationship is unusual, you don’t see a lot of situations like WWX’s, in which WWX feels like he owes the Jiang family his golden core and then gives it to him. But there’s another element to this sacrifice that I’ve only seen in one other piece of media, and that’s the fact that WWX knows that JC can’t live without being special, and WWX thinks he can handle it.

There is so much in western media about brothers giving up their lives to protect their brothers (Supernatural), or even just giving up their dreams and ambitions so that their brother can follow his own dreams instead (It’s a Wonderful Life). But these sacrifices are always framed as “I love him so much,” or “It’s my duty” or “I couldn’t live with myself if he didn’t get what he wanted” and sometimes even, “I can handle the suffering and I don’t want him to live with it.” But there’s something about WWX’s “eh it’s not a big deal to me  and it is to him” or his “bro’s kinda petty and can’t get over himself, whatchu gonna do” that feels stupidly singular.

WWX never says it isn’t a big deal. He never said that it didn’t hurt or that he didn’t make a sacrifice. He never said JC was pathetic or a loser or anything that diminishes JC or makes him less than he is. What he says is that JC is always competitive and comparing himself to others, which is true. But the other sacrifices in fiction that come close are a little more “I don’t want you to have to suffer” or even “I’m strong, and you’re weak, so I’ll take on this burden for you.” Meanwhile WWX doesn’t think JC is weak, and while WWX doesn’t want to suffer, he certainly doesn’t want to suffer himself. The sentiment feels closer to “you need to feel special so I’ll make that happen for you,” and there’s something about it that is a little condescending.

I mentioned that I’ve only seen this kind of thing one other time, and it was in a baseball anime called Touch that aired in Japan in the 1980s. Touch is a story about twins, one of whom is smart, talented, and works hard. The other twin, Tatsuya, is good in school and good at baseball, but at first seems like a lazy guy who only cares about joking around and having fun. Then you find out he’s a genius and a one-in-a-lifetime talent, but just never bothered to focus on anything because he’s so stupidly good at everything that he would just show his brother up, and his brother cares about excelling and Tatsuya doesn’t, so he just…was careful to never apply himself to anything.

WWX isn’t Tatsuya, in that when they’re on an even playing field, WWX doesn’t really seem to have any compunctions about showing off. But as soon as the playing field becomes uneven, he also has no compunctions about destroying himself so that JC’s competitive spirit is satisfied. There’s something about it that has a flavor of “I’m better than you,” even if it’s never what WWX meant to communicate. No wonder JC feels like a clown.

Like, in the end, WWX kind of did make a fool of JC, even though WWX did it out of both love and loyalty. I'm not sure I've ever read or seen anything else where such a sacrifice has such ambiguity, and it really makes the WWX+JC relationship one of the most complicated I've seen.

Hellooooo <3

I saw your post about Tokyo Debunker and I would like to know your headcanon about guys with a partner who is shy about showing affection (hugs, kisses…,). It can be with the boys you want, although, could you add Rui and Yuri? I'm so curious how that dynamic would work with them, since one literally can't be touched and the other is a complete Tsundere haha

Thank you in advance, many hugs and kisses ✨️

Hi Anon <3 I honestly love this

Characters: Frostheim, Vagastrom, Jabberwock, Hotarubi (+ Rui and Yuri)

Jin

Oh God. He loves flustering you (he obviously won't do it in public - he has a reputation to uphold !)

Has you sit on his lap, cups your chin, wraps an arm around your waist ... you name it

Thinks it's adorable how shy you are about physical contact. Although that's something that he won't tell you (at least not at first) he definitely teases you about how easy it is to get you to become a blushing mess

Will find any excuse to hold your hand "to enhance his stigma" (he really just likes seeing how red you get)

Tohma

He thinks it's so cute that you get that flustered from the slightest

Isn't big on physical contact in public, especially at the start of the relationship, but will "accidentally" brush his arm against your or touch your hand if you're both reaching for the same thing

The most he'll do in public is cup your face or kiss the back of your hand

Acts all innocent afterwards while delighting in how flustered you look

"My, MC, do you feel OK ? You've gone quite red,"

Luca

It took him a little while to realise that you got flustered easily - at first, he freaked out because he thought he had done something wrong or you were suddenly feeling unwell

Like the gentleman he is, he'd never deliberately fluster you in public - he hates the idea of embarrassing you by mistake. Honestly, the most he'd do is hold your hand (if you're ok with that), link arms, or kiss the back of your hand when he's greeting you

In private though it's a whole different question

He's very gentle, especially at the start - hugs, kisses on the cheek, hand holding ... but that doesn't mean he finds it any less cute when your cheeks become bright red

Kaito

Ah yes the boyfailure

You two are a match made in heaven

It takes him a WHILE to notice how flustered you are because while you're freaking out and blushing, he's busy doing the exact same thing

After a lot of talking to each other (and taking it slow) you both begin to relax more about physical affection, though it takes a of encouragement and reassurance for him to reach that stage

As your "knight", he'll try to initiate any physical contact. However, if you decide to initiate anything, especially in the early stages, he will literally combust

Alan

A bit wary of touching you at first, just because he's used to putting up so many walls to protect himself, and the idea of being intimate is scary at first

He's also terrified of hurting you by mistake - even if you're pretty tough, he's a ghoul, and one of the strongest ones at that, so he'll still see you as fragile

However, after some time passes, he'd start to initiate things like hand holding or cuddling. Sometimes, he'll even pull you onto his lap

When he first saw you flustered you got, he was worried he'd done something wrong. However, after he understood that you were just a bit shy about physical contact, he found it so sweet

Won't try to fluster you in public, but now he can't keep his hands off of you when you guys are alone <3

Sho

He understands why you're blushing straight away and teases you endlessly about it

Will definitely fluster you a bit in public - he secretly loves PDA because it makes him feel like you belong to him

However, most of that is left for when you guys are in private - he'll shower you with praise and kisses

Definitely spoon feeds you your food sometimes or does the whole "you have something on your lips" thing as an excuse to kiss you

If you're cooking together, he'd 100% hug you from behind while instructing you (not that it's easy to focus with his body and the smell of his cologne that close to you)

Leo

He also teases you constantly, but a bit more maliciously about it than Sho

"Oh gross, Honor Roll. Why are you getting all red ? I bumped into you by mistake,"

Even though he won't admit it, he'll try to fluster you subtly because seeing his reaction is a huge ego boost for him (he also finds it adorable, but you'd have to torture that out of him)

It takes Leo a while to become more deliberate about physical contact, but when he does, he's all about PDA - he loves showing you off and seeing you blush when he's doing it

Haru

When you guys first become close, his touch starts off very platonic - a hanc in your shoulder, a friendly hug, that kind of thing

However, when he sees how flustered you get after you two start dating and he becomes more intimate, it has a bigger impact on him then he'd thought

Definitely teases you in a good natured way and tries to make you blush if you two are alone

When he's worn out from all his chores, he'll call you yo his room so he can cuddle you

Ren

Although he's completely in denial about it, he's also a flustered mess

He's not used to physical affection and is a bit closed off, so it takes him a bit to start exploring that area of your relationship

He'd definitely pretend it's accidental at first- something like your fingers brushing or your legs touching when you're sitting next to each other

When he sees how pink your cheeks become, he grows even more flustered - why are you so adorable

"Wh- Hey MC, what are you staring at ? You're going all red like an idiot,"

Despite his efforts to hide it, you make him just as flustered

Over time, with a lot of patience (mostly on your end) you guys begin to feel more calm about physical affection. However, it'll definitely stay private as Ren is not into PDA at all

Towa

Another guy who keeps his hands constantly on you - he's so clingy

Whenever he sees you, he'll hug you hard and for a long period of time.

Since night is the only time you get to hear his voice properly, you two often go out then and fall asleep cuddling under the stars

When he noticed you got flustered, he didn't have much of a reaction to it - he just kissed your cheek before continuing to hug you

Subaru

As a gentleman, and someone who's quite shy, Subaru doesn't do much physical contact at first, limiting himself to hugging you, holding your hand and giving you brief kisses when you guys are alone

At first, your reaction concerned him that he'd crossed a boundary by mistake. However, it was weirdly comforting for him when he realised you were flustered, because, despite not showing it, he felt exactly the same way

Would never fluster you deliberately, although he thinks you look cute - he's just too much of a gentleman. However, he'll definitely begin showing more physical affection as you both grow more used to it

Haku

Despite his charming act, this man loves touching you at every chance he gets. He won't even bother to hide it

Holds your hand everywhere you go and always pats your head/ruffles your hair after hugging you. When he's seated, he definitely loves having you on his lap

He likes PDA, but is also more than OK with only showing physical affection in private - it's ultimately up to you

Teases you a little bit about how much you're blushing, but it's mostly in a flirty way - he honestly thinks you're adorable

Zenji

Positively beamed when he saw how much you were blushing after he tried to hug you - he finds it so sweet that even the idea of his touch makes you react like that

Although he can't technically touch you yet, he keeps working on it. For now, he just tells you what he'd like to do with you, and he finds it delightful if that's enough to fluster you

He's too much of a gentleman to try to fluster you publicly but he'll definitely do it in private

Gets so clingy if he ever does find a way to touch you

Taiga

He's super clingy - it's surprising if you manage to leave his side at all

Definitely has you on his lap while he gambles to "act as a lucky charm" (show you off to the casino patrons)

If he's lounging about in his room, he'll definitely want to make out or sleep with you

Finds it cute when you get flustered and goes out 6 his way to make you blush at every chance he gets

Romeo regularly tells him to get a room

If he catches one of the other casino patrons looking at you, that guy will go missing by tomorrow, and your neck will be full of love bites to remind you of who you belong to

Fico Romeo

Romeo finds it endearing when you get so flustered, but he has a reputation to uphold, so he won't be telling you that anytime soon

Although his PDA is pretty limited, he'll still link arms or drape an arm around your waist so the rest of the casino knows you're his

When you're alone, he definitely gets an ego boost from flustering you deliberately (he also gets a lot more handsy - loves when you sit on his lap as he works on his desk)

He'd definitely say something like "Hey, BB ! Come over here," before pulling you into his lap

He'll tease you about how stupid you look when you're going all red, but he actually loves it

Ritsu

Honestly, physical affection isn't really his thing, so it would take ages for him to notice that it flusters you

He smirks slightly when he sees your cheeks going red - you're just adorable

Definitely not one for PDA. He also doesn't show much physical affection in private compared to others, but he does enjoy it when you guys share an intimate moment

Rui

The fact that his curse means that he can't touch you is the biggest source of heartbreak in his life, although he doesn't let you see that

He yearns for the day that you're both cured and he can hold you and let his hands explore your body, imaginig how you'd react

His fantasies are spurred on when he realises that you get flustered so easily - he thinks you look so adorable when you blush

In the meantime, he tells you about everything he wants to do to you and showers you with praise. This guy is a massive flirt

If Rui could touch you, he'd enjoy PDA - he'd love showing you off on his arm to the rest of the academy

Yuri

Yuri would never tell anyone this , but it takes him some time to feel secure enough in your relationship to start exploring physical contact. The very fact that he's considering it is off putting to him - it was just never something he thought he'd want or need

At first, he uses your checkups as an excuse to touch you - he lets his hands linger a bit longer than necessary and helps you put on your patient robe because "you're taking too long"

Seeing how much you're blushing honestly just makes him freak out more - you just look way too cute

Starts insulting you and telling you to stop looking at him like that

However, after passing the early stages of the relationship (and after you show him a lot of patience) you start showing each other proper physical affection in private

He's not really the type to go out of his way to fluster you, but he'll definitely tease you light heartedly

Masterlist

[hannigramislife]

What never fails to endlessly entertain me is the fact that after 3zun swore brotherhood, you had Nie Huaisang clinging to Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen, going around all "San-ge" this and "Er-ge" that–

Meanwhile, Lan Wangji, a fellow little brother, couldn't have given less of a fuck.

modern au where in collage, when wwx would go to strip clubs with everyone else, he would get up on the stage and pole dance with the ladies. He'd get really into it too, giving the dancing his all, and the ladies always laughed and helped him, dancing with him, and making the dance extra sexy. Jiang Cheng would always hide his face, sliding down in his seat, wanting this to be over and the others would cheer and cajole wwx on (especially nhs). wwx actually got really good at it, copying the ladies and them giving him tips, having fun dancing with someone who was being respectful of them at the same time.

a little over a decade later when everyone has grown up, and wwx and lwj are best friends (lwj pining endlessly over his Straight Best Friend) and wwx is enjoying his single dad life with a-yuan, nhs and wwx run into each other one night and nhs drags wwx to a gay bar to party since sizhui is with the wens for the weekend. wwx get's Drunk and Parties just like he used to in collage, nhs cheering him on and taking photos and videos to remember the night. and this is how wwx figure out that he's Not Straight when a guy grabs him and they make out for a good half hour before wwx got up on the stage and danced with the male strippers.

it's the next day when nhs posts the photos and videos showing the fun night out he and his collage bestie had as a sorta throw back like "this reminds me of my collage days! even a decade later and this guy's doing this!"

and that is how jc, lwj, and literally everyone else find out that wwx is into guys. from watching him dancing with male strippers and licking alcohol of a male stripper's abs and chest.

wwx responds to the post "hahaha! i was DRUNK! i don't even remember that! 10/10 would do again though! that guy's HOT!"

lwj and wwx are dating by the next morning and married by the end of the week.

sizhui, who's in highschool, is pretending he doesn't know the man in the viral male stripper video that everyone in his school is thirsting over because damn does he have moves. jin ling, jingyi, and zizhen are alternating between comforting him and laughing about it.

- She's got experience working with workers for her Queendom, but a friend? It's a surprisingly new concept, and at first she almost treats you like she does her minions

- She grows to become very fond of you and begins holding your opinion as highly as she does her own, making sure the others always do as you say with respect

- She confides in you a lot about the parts of herself her own minions don't even get to see. Her worries, insecurities, and the parts of herself she can't seem to come to terms with

- You help her confidence solidify in a genuine way, not just having an inflated ego (though that never fades) and in return she tries to make you feel treasured

Scorpion Queen:

- She's ecstatic whenever you offer up a QPR. A close confidant is all she's ever wanted, and she accepts eagerly to having your presence around more permanently

- She excitedly let's you see everything she's got in her castle, offering you up anything you could want as a token of gratitude for simply being there

- Jin and Yin come by occasionally and she keeps a very close eye on them to make sure they don't disturb you when you're hanging out together

- She does ask for reassurance quite a few times, but it's because she genuinely appreciates your input and takes your words to heart when you reassure her

- He's usually endlessly smug for you and brags on your behalf for all your accomplishments, insisting up and down that you deserve the recognition

Huntsman:

- He's not really the best at showing his closeness to you, but he does it in his own small ways like saving the best bits of food for you or scavenging for trinkets so you can keep them

- Immediately gets defensive if he thinks anyone is being rude towards you and tries to square up to anyone being a prick the second he detects it

- You're one of the only people he'll continuously praise, he always makes sure what you do is seen and appreciated just as much as any of his deeds

- Lends you his jacket if you're ever in need of one, and you're the only person he's ever lent it out to

Goliath:

- Absolute sweetheart when it comes to you. He's kind and a gentle giant with you around, but he'll switch up and fuck anyone up who tries to mess with you if you ask

- Very encouraging to anything you wanna do. He just really likes spending time with you, even if that's doing something really small or completing missions together

Mayor:

- Very eerily looms around you often, mostly as a way to keep others from getting too close to you

- He gives you access to basically anywhere in Megapolis you could ever want, always uses his title to get you into the secret cool places

- Very very devoted to you. LBD may be who he works for, but he'll do basically anything for you the second you ask him to, and he'll always offer to do more as well

- Basically a massive guard dog, but he also allows himself to be harmlessly zany around you and get a hint of a taste for human enjoyment again

My basic premise is that one day Darkwick is like. In order to promote harmony across the houses and establish rapport with one another we will be assigning captains to a new house for the next month. And then they do that. And it all falls apart immediately.

Frostheim

Yuri voice ill never go back. And then Darkwick is like okay you're too biased against them go make up!! And Yuri seethes so hard something in his body pops.

First off, nooo way he gets along with Tohma or feels comfortable in Jin's room. Secondly, Kaito? Kaito. Literally no way that guy won't scream every other day. It's not even that he dislikes Yuri, it's just that the rumors are too Big for Kaito not to freak out every single time. And Luca of course will not help this concern ever, and will ask for Yuri's history and why he seems so familiar with Frostheim stuff, and Yuri will have to decide how far morals can carry him.

Somehow someway everyone in this scenario comes out appreciating Jin just like. A smidge more. His Frostheim runs as smoothly as Yuri's Frostheim but there's something slightly more dignified about it.

Vagastrom

I really just need a Jin Leo bitch off. Leo trying to get info from Jin except he soundproofed his room again, Jin not giving a shit about what the two of them do which makes it considerably less fun despite neither Sho nor Leo being willing to admit that, Jin using his stigma when MC is around to force Leo to do things. It's technically functional, like Vagastrom doesn't fall to chaos after Jin asserts his dominance on day one, but it's like. Everyone misses Alan so bad. So bad. Sho and Leo would never admit it to his face but they prefer their captain over Jin even if most things haven't really changed.

Also I think the only reasons Jin would leave his room is if Leo was bothering him too much and even then it would take a bit. I think Sho's life wouldn't be changed a whole lot but he'd miss the sparring and also find Jin's philosophy like.... not strange or bad but too different???? Like yeah it's annoying to spar every day but it's also fun. That's his enrichment...

Jabberwock

This is what inspired it all. The exact sequence of events was that I thought to myself, wouldn't it be funny if Ed was in Jabberwock since it's usually pretty sunny and it requires a lot of work? And then I thought, and also Towa is there. And then I remembered Towa hates Ed and I laughed so hard I cried trying to envision Ed announcing that he's replacing Haru for the time being and Towa trying to electrocute him.

Ren and Ed would also be funny because as long as Ed leaves Ren alone I'm sure he'd be fine. And doubly so if he draws Towa's attention away from him. But I can't tell if after that it'd be funnier if Ren gets annoyed because Ed is actually high maintenance and if Towa isn't doing it then Ren definitely has to. And he'd hate that. OR Ed has seen all his movies and knows all his games and keeps trying to talk to him about it but in a way that pisses him off about it and he's like mad about that. Either way I can't imagine anyone in this house is happy about this arrangement and it's killing me to imagine.

Sinostra

You'll have to stick with me for this one because it's a very specific dynamic in my mind that I'm not very good at articulating but basically. Romeo is at first glad Taiga can't mess things up anymore (even though deep down he misses him) and glad Alan is capable of scaring people straight just by Looking but then Alan is like hey this operation isn't very honorable. It's a low blow to threaten and intimidate and cheat. And then they butt heads about it endlessly.

Which is why Ritsu has to come in and be the equalizer but Alan can't take him seriously because he's like you're way too skinny you have no muscle what is your diet what's your trianing like. Spar with me. And Ritsu, embarrassed and offended, is like ILL HAVE YOU KNOW IM WORKING ON IT. And Alan genuinely offers to help but Ritsu is too used to Taiga and lowkey assumes Alan is making fun of him. And Alan is sincere. So he keeps going.

Hotarubi

PLEASEEEE PICTURE IT. THINK ABOUT IT. Think about the Haku Taiga prologue dynamic and make that daily life. Now add in the fact that Hotarubi is meant to be traditional Japanese themes with grace and tranquility and then imagine Taiga is there and try to tell me that's not the funniest shit ever.

And then add in Zenji. We already know Taiga can see or sense more than others so I would bet everything he could probably sense Zenji in some way, which he honestly probably wouldn't care about but I think he'd care a lot about the doll or the biwa. Basically I think he'd try to eat it. I think he'd try to eat something and it would be chaos and hilarious and please just imagine the three of them together. Please. Please. Please.

Obscuary

House Simulator. This is the only truly fully functioning house with no problems outside of Lyca complaining about noise and annoyances and so on so forth. And that is because Rui and Haru are so used to doing like 100% of the work all the time that they both try to do it and end up finishing all the work in half the time since they've split it and now they randomly have free time??? And it's so strange??

Haru helps with breakfast and cleaning and taking care of the animals and chores and so forth and Rui helps with Peekaboo and relieving Haru's exhaustion and it's basically such a functioning pair that it's almost scary. Like Lyca is scared. But also Haru smells bad and is too high energy and LOUDDD so he's in his rebellious teenage phase atm.

Only downside is that Haru has too much bar access and has to be cut off but it's a small price to pay for a house that isn't up in flames by day one. Unfortunately it can't last bc Haru would miss his animals and Rui would feel too worried about hurting Haru so when they swap back both have made peace with it. And Lyca will still kick rocks they couldn't have Subaru.

Mortkranken

I think Subaru would become a legend very quickly but not because he's this secret medical genius but because he seems to have this uncanny ability to guess things. And the secret is that he is using his stigma fully on accident and seeing what they were up to and then Jiro is figuring it out from there. And he keeps trying to give Jiro credit but nobody will listen.

He's also squeamish. Like he can't handle blood so when Jiro is like 'Move that to the other table please' Subaru is happy to and moves this weird lump under a sheet and the sheet falls off and its a severed arm and Subaru faints. and Jiro laughs for a second before putting Subaru on the table and making sure he's like actually okay. And they are both very patient with one another and very cordial. But it's so so awkward. And Subaru honest to god does not know how to take care of Jiro and is constantly having to ask Yuri how to do things except Yuri is always occupied by Frostheim so Subaru has to follow Jiro's instructions and they are both praying Every Day.

And that's also why they're both happy when its over. Not because it was bad or they dislike each other but bc they're both glad Yuri will come back and it won't be Does Jiro Die Today Roulette. and then Subaru goes to Haku and grabs his shoulders and is likep lease do not start dying ill cry right in front of you forever. and Haku just nods slowly.

Their s/o faints in another member's arms

Anon asks: Hi, can I request a bts reaction where their girlfriend/ s/o faints in another member’s arms. Thank you and I love your writing ☺️

Note: I hope you enjoy it, thank you for requesting it!

♡Seokjin♡

He felt dread fill his stomach when he heard Jimin gasp and frantically call for help. He rushes over to help Jimin get you somewhere more comfortable, frowning at how pale and weak you seem to be. He stays by your side as you’re checked up on, feeling guilty that he hadn’t noticed your lack of eating the past two days due to stress. He stays close to you for the next few days, making sure you’re taking care of yourself and recovering.

♡Yoongi♡

He hadn’t been in the room, but he heard Hoseoak panic and call for the staff to get some help for you. He’s shocked over how run down you look, leaning against Hoseok as he tries to sit you down carefully. He knew you had been working harder and more hours than usual, but he was upset that you worked yourself to the point of fainting. He scolds you for it but is attentive to your needs following the incident.

♡Hoseok♡

It was hot- so much so everyone thought it would be the hottest day of summer. You and Hobi had gone to the beach with a bunch of friends and the other members. He was lounging around relaxing while you and Taehyung walked the shoreline looking for shells and playing with Yeontan. He saw you from a distance start to slow down and start to stumble into Tae’s arms. He’s there in an instant, panicking to get you some medical attention. He feels so bad the heat got to you like that and fusses over you endlessly.

♡Namjoon♡

You injured yourself not too long ago but kept insisting that you were okay to go out with Namjoon and Jungkook. He checks up on you all night to make sure you’re not in pain or uncomfortable, but the moment he takes his eyes off you to use the restroom he’s getting a call from Jungkook that he’s taken you outside and you’re feeling lightheaded. He’s mad that you were in so much pain, so much so that you passed out on the way to the hospital. He’s strict with your care the rest of the week.

♡Jimin♡

Jimin heard Namjoon comment that you were looking really pale and sickly as he fussed with his keys to get into the apartment. The three of you had gone out for some drinks, so he assumed you had just had a little too much. But before getting inside you were falling into Namjoon’s arms, muttering something about not feeling good. Namjoon keeps him calm as they decide to take you to the emergency room just in case. Jimin’s upset to learn that you hadn’t eaten or had any water before going out like that. He’s never going to let you pull such a move again he lectures, staying at your side all night.

♡Taehyung♡

He hadn’t been worried when he got separated from you because he knew you were still hanging around with Jin. The event you were at was packed, loud, and hard to navigate. He rushed down to the lobby when Jin called him, you had fainted over admitting to feeling very anxious and overwhelmed with everything, having a hard time breathing. There were medical staff already there checking you out, but Taehyung felt extremely guilty for leaving you. He takes you home and lets you rest, cuddling and talking to you about what happened.

♡Jungkook♡

You had been pretty sick and exhausted all week, but you still pushed yourself to go out to pick up some more medicine and ingredients for dinner. Jungkook had been gone and busy all day, and you had gotten impatient waiting so long for his help. You bumped into Yoongi there, but he barely commented on how bad you looked before you passed out into him. You get checked out and he takes you back home, scolding Jungkook for not looking after you better. Jungkook feels guilty, making sure to attend to all your needs the rest of the night and taking the next day off to stay with you.

You watched silently from your car window as the night settled into the city, the conversation you had shared with Jin replaying in your mind endlessly. Soon regret had formed in your chest as you questioned if that had been the right decision. Exposing him to this put him in harm’s way and the last thing you wanted was for something to happen to him.  

Was your ambition too much?

You considered texting him and telling him to let it go but knowing Jin and how stubborn he was about the things he felt passionate about, it was far too late. He would continue regardless of your pleads, he would search and search even if you didn’t want him to. After all his need for results was what made him such a prolific lawyer.

You blinked slowly as the driver pulled into the long driveway of your home. The lights within them made it appear warm and comforting but you knew it was far from that, this was more like a prison to you. a place where you paid for the crimes you had never committed.

You waited for the driver to open the door and stepped out. Allowing the chilled air to soothe your mind for just a moment.

You had never considered the fact that ever since you got married you had been unable to stop thinking. Your head was crowded by voices that had never been there before. reminding you of how trapped you were, urging for a solution.

You opened the large front door and stepped inside sighing in relief. The sound alerted the housekeepers who ran and stood next to each other in a straight line by the entrance. There were 3 of them. Nali, Ha-yoon, and Boram. They oversaw the cleaning, cooking, and maintenance of the large home.

They also helped make this house feel less empty.

You felt more connected to them than you did with the socialites you were obligated to be around, having their presence here made the dread of living in this home by yourself a little more bearable.

You slipped off your heels and Nali jumped quickly, reaching for them right as they came off your feet. The whole ordeal made you cringe. You hated having someone serve you as if you were some kind of royalty. Even if you had come from a wealthy family, you never felt comfortable having others do things for you.  “it’s okay” you assured her as you reached for them. “I’ll take them upstairs myself” You nodded as you took them from her hands.

“I’m sorry ma’am” she bowed “At least let me take your purse and your coat” she offered. You complied slipping off the coat and handing the items to her. You began walking towards the main living space, the fire that crackled softly in the fireplace losing a battle against the eternal emptiness that remained here. Regardless of how many logs were burnt it still felt cold. So much for warmth.

“Have you eaten, Ma’am?” Ha-yoon spoke as she slowly trailed behind you. you hummed to yourself as you looked through the tall glass windows at the end of the living room, showcasing the grand backyard and pool. “I can prepare myself something” you nodded at them “You can all go rest now, it's late” you answered. “We can make you a quick meal, ma’am” Boram, the youngest offered. her shy eyes gazing at you with what can only be described as empathy.

They had spent many nights hovering around you, attempting to somehow ease your frustration, the one they grew to understand and eventually feel empathy for. You often opted for skipping meals and locking yourself away and it hadn’t gone unnoticed.

You held up your hand and shook your head “It’s okay, I want to distract myself anyways.” you smiled warmly “I need to busy myself with something, you may all go.” They shared short, worried glances at each other before bowing obediently and disappearing into the hallway leading to their bedrooms.

You sauntered over to the kitchen, passing the dining room that remained untouched since the day you moved in. It had a large Italian marble table in the middle and 8 chairs, there was a glass chandelier that hung low which the interior designers advised gave the room a more intimate feel. The walls were decorated with paintings given to you by your mother, a wedding gift she would call it.

You had tried to make this place your home so badly. Still, you failed at every attempt. No chandelier or painting could fix that. You were alone in a golden cage with pretty furniture and vast spaces.

You took in the memory of your first meal there, how you sat at the head of the table alone. The only sound coming from the contact of your fork with the plate. You recalled how frigid it all felt, you had been unable to ignore the knot in your throat and had bursted into tears like a small inconsolable child.

After that, you repelled the room entirely.

You opened the fridge inspecting it closely, thinking of what meals you could make with its contents. You reached for an egg and some fresh vegetables, smiling to yourself as you prepared to make ramen. It was your mother’s recipe. She would only make it for you when you were sick or had a bad day.

And so far, it had been an awful day.

You placed the pot on the stove and then moved on to preparing the ingredients, attempting to recall each step your mother had shown you while she made it. you hoped it would have the same taste that you remembered so fondly.

Soon enough the delicious smell overtook the kitchen and your mouth watered. You hadn’t had a good meal since you started this entire plan. anxiety overcoming your entire being, depriving you of an appetite. Yet, having secured Jin in your corner, for some reason had relieved some of the constant pressure you felt. A bittersweet celebratory meal you thought.

Pouring the ramen into a bowl you hummed in pleasure. The steam causes your cheeks to redden and you smile slightly to yourself.

You made sure to clean the kitchen unable to live with yourself if you left such a mess for Nali, Ha-yoon, and Boram to wake up to in the morning. As you stepped out of the kitchen, you grabbed a bottle of soju and carried your meal into the living room where you placed the tray in front of the fireplace, wrapping a blanket over your body.

The fire would keep you company tonight.

The first mouth full brought an overwhelming feeling over you, you were unsure if it was the hunger that rattled deep in your belly or perhaps that it tasted exactly like the one your mother used to make. For a moment you felt a gleamer of excitement soothe itself into you but just as fast as it had arrived it was just as quickly replaced by gut-wrenching nostalgia.

Within its flavor, you recollected the late afternoons you spent with your mother. The childish gossip and small giggles that poured from the dining room as she watched you eat. The way she would kiss your forehead and run her fingers through your hair, brushing away all of your worries. You wondered if she missed you as much as you missed her. If she ever thought of reaching out and sharing a few more laughs with you. Yet, recalling the last conversation you had shared, you were sure you had broken her heart just as much as she had broken yours.

 You poured the soju into the clear glass before you and downed the liquid in a gulp, wincing as you swallowed back the memories. you repeated this a few more times making sure to erase the taste of the ramen from your tongue. You had to learn how to live with your solitude, which often meant drifting off into daydreams and memories of things that were no longer attainable. Alleviating the pain that came with them with bottles of Soju, whiskey, or rum.

Dreaming of a future that was not promised was cruel, cruelty you exerted on yourself frequently. No one cared to ask about your aspirations, or what you wanted. a question you had avoided when you walked down the aisle as well. The love you had for your family had taken you down this road, the fear of letting them down consuming you even now. You dreaded the day you would have to see the look on your father’s face when he came to find out what he had done, although that didn’t make you resent him any less.

You felt remorseful, you had everything. You had money, you had power, you had influence. So why if you had all these things were you dreaming of another life? Why did you cry yourself to sleep at night if there were people in this world who had less than you? Were the mothers crying for their sick children not more entitled? Was the intern who sustained his entire family on scraps not more worthy of this sadness?

The conflict inside your mind never ceased and it made you feel at times, ungrateful.

You drowned yourself in the liquor forgetting about the ramen you had prepared all together, the bitter liquid bringing you more comfort than your mother’s meal could ever.

“I see you have been ignoring me” The voice that had flowed in caused a halt in your movement. the glass of soju pressed on your lips slipping from your fingers and onto the tray. The loud clashing sound it had caused brought you back from your thoughts. While you sailed away in your mind you hadn’t noticed the arrival of your husband who now stood in the living room. You looked back quickly, your eyes scanning his appearance.

Jungkook appeared disgruntled, strands of his long black hair falling in front of his face. his cheeks and lips a rosy tint which you noted indicated he had been drinking. During the first few months of your marriage, you had set out to form some kind of connection with the man you were meant to cherish and hold till death do you part but whilst you tried to find common ground, he found refuge in parties and day drinking. You might have not known him entirely, but you did know when he was sober and, at this moment, he was far from it.

You observed the opened buttons from his shirt revealing some of his chest, the black suit that you imagined had been once perfectly pressed was now wrinkled in certain areas. Still, he appeared godly in it.

The alcohol running through you allowed you to confess how undeniably handsome he was all while he burned holes into you with his glare. You continued to study his appearance, his tattooed hand peaking from where they remained stuffed into the front pocket of his pants, inciting a tingling sensation from within you.

you had to admit that had you met under entirely different circumstances you would’ve walked the streets with pride, knowing that by your side walked the most gorgeous man alive. You would flaunt your wedding ring and brag about the expensive gifts he gave you, of the time he made to see you and of the love that was there but all those things would be untrue besides the fact that he was annoyingly handsome, that is.

You furrowed your brows and quickly blinked your eyes, determined to bring yourself back from the irrational thoughts that floated in your mind. 

You groaned deeply before standing up. “I thought you would be staying at the apartment in Gwangmyeong” You stated, avoiding his statement altogether. Indeed, you were evading him at all possible cost, it was unbearable to look into the eyes of the man who caused so much conflict in your life.

“I looked for you at your office, but you were not there. where were you?” his eyes narrowed as he questioned you.

“I don’t question you about your whereabouts” you snapped back. You were unsure if it was the sweet liquor affecting your bloodstream or just the fact that with each minute that passed you had become more and more aggravated, but your patience had dissipated into thin air. “I would expect you not to question me about mine but I’m pretty sure you already know where I spent my day.” Your jaw clenched as you referenced your obnoxious driver.  

His lips pulled into a smirk that caused you to narrow your eyes. Indeed, you had wanted to incite some sort of reaction with your snarky remark, but you hadn’t expected Jungkook to find amusement in this conversation. Yet, again what did you even expect from the stone-cold man who stood in front of you?

“Let me remind you, you are my wife” he stated, throwing his suit jacket on the sofa. “I expect you to answer when I call, I think it’s the least you could do” Jungkook remarked.

An almost harmonious laugh poured past your lips. the amusement he felt only a moment before traveling across the room to you now.

“Oh please, Jungkook, please stop with the theatrics” you breathed, holding onto your stomach that tightened with each laugh, the soju and lack of oxygen leading you to grow dizzy. “You don’t know the first thing about me” you slurred; the room fell silent. You could feel the faint sting of the tears that you held repressed in your eyes, begging for you to release them.

The tears that made it hard to see were not from sadness, they were from pure anger. You questioned his audacity. The word wife sounded almost comical in his mouth.

“We have been married for a year” you yelled as he stood there.

like a child being scolded.

which only gave your anger further ammunition. He didn’t have anything to say, he couldn’t even defend himself. What could he say? That he’s neglected you because he didn’t love you? that you weren’t even worthy of an attempt? That he’d rather lay in bed with strangers than even hold you.

“a year!” your voice echoed in the spaces unoccupied by expensive furniture. Your heart pounded heavily against your chest as pure adrenaline overtook you like poison. It was suffocating, abstaining from feeling anything just so you could feel nothing.

But you’ve had enough of that now. The alcohol offered an opportunity for you to forget all self-judgment and allow yourself to speak freely words you had only been able to voice inside your head.

“Do you know my favorite color?” you heaved as the warm tears you retained for so long poured down your cheeks. “Do you know that I love tea in the mornings? That I cry when I watch romance movies?” You knew you were spewing nonsense, but you needed him to understand that he had no right to be entitled over a stranger.  

“And you dare call me your wife? I’m just as much a stranger to you as the women you sleep with” you spoke bitterly.

Jungkook ran his hands through his hair, pushing away the strands that shadowed his features. He appeared to be frustrated, maybe even tired. He took in your disheveled hair and the soju bottle that sat comfortably on your tray. He nodded knowingly and pursed his lips, his dimples softly dipping into his cheeks.

“Maybe if you weren’t so insufferable, I would’ve taken the time to get to know you” Jungkook pondered.

You choked on a sob that threatened to rip through you as the words settled in your gut.

“Get some rest” he muttered before beginning to walk away, as he always did. So easy for him to leave the messes he made behind, all without a glint of sympathy. Not a worry in sight, not a care in the world. “You are drunk and quite frankly, this conversation has bored me” he concluded dismissively.

Jungkook barely ever had to put much effort into hurting you, constantly finding new and innovative ways in which to bring suffering. He never had to throw a fit of rage or even raise his voice. It just came naturally, almost as if he had practiced and oh how you loathed the effect, he had on you. how much of you he could control without having to say much at all.

 You were a puppet and he had laid you down to collect dust from the moment he purchased you. You served no entertainment and played no role in his life. A trophy wife, forgotten amongst the rest of the awards.

You reached for a small bag that sat on the sofa, clawing out the content. You stepped towards him, and he watched closely as you approached him. Your tear-stained cheeks and red eyes made him shift in place. Your pain prompted a discomfort in him he would never admit to. For a moment, he wished he could retract what he had said. Instead, he remained motionless. taking in your state and allowing it to engrave itself in his memory. A memory he would carry within himself as a reminder of what he had done.

 You closed the distance between the both of you, standing closely as your glassy eyes stared into his dilated pupils.  He half expected you to slap him across the face, to continue to berate him as if it was your right but instead, you held up a small white box wrapped to perfection with a red bow on top.

Confusion overtook his features as he inspected the item before him. He looked back at you as if awaiting an explanation, but you remained silent. If you spoke now, you feared you would collapse into a heaving mess, and you could not allow Jungkook to see you in this state any longer. A few tears were more than enough, too many even. You had showcased too much weakness, and you knew he would feed off the sight. he had the upper hand, and he never missed an opportunity to let you know.

You both remained still until you finally gave in, unable to stand the bitterness in your mouth and the way his doe eyes reflected a sort of sympathy you despised. You placed the box against his chest while he searched your eyes for the answer you were reluctant to give.

“Happy anniversary” you whispered as you pushed past him.

[almoststedytimetravel]

I am endlessly fascinated by the existence of the Persona stage plays. Like, I have seen some of the most unhinged shit from those. I have never been able to find the stage plays in full, only in clips and single frames. None of them have any actual Persona's in them. I know there is one instance where Ken goes to summon his because he is drawing his evoker in the clip. But it never reaches the point where he actually uses the evoker because the clip was focused on Jin beating the shit out of Akihiko. I'm not even certain they're completely real and that they're not something I imagined seeing.
