DP x DC or Marvel: The Help of The Dead
I won't lie this could work for either
When Phantom joined the team almost everybody had the same thought; "He's just a kid, how could he help?"
They insist on protecting him in fights, especially when he makes it clear more than once that he wont fight living humans. So when it comes to armies of people they have to deal without the child on the battlefield, which is fine by them. One lest child on the front lines is one less ass to save when shit hits the fan.
But then one day that suddenly changes.
An evasion with scales unlike anything they had ever seen before which is saying something. Together the teams had fought countless battles but in that moment things seemed truly like they were too much.
Until Phantom finally clapped, jumped off the table. "These aren't living humans right?"
They weren't human, far from it. The team had mentioned this more than once but it was hard to tell if he was just double checking or if he hadn't been paying attention to anything.
"Great. Pull the team back, I got it."
"You really don't expect us for you to fight this alone, do you?" Superman or Captain America would ask as Phantom just laughed.
"Don't be ridiculous, who said I would be doing it alone. Now pull them back. I won't say it again." Then Phantom simply vanishes.
The orders are given, timidly but their given. Moral of the people left in the 'danger zone' drops and things seem to drastically change when a massive green cloud begins to swirl in the sky before ripping open into a portal that sends chills down the spines who see it.
The heroes fear it's a second wave or some kind of superweapon going off, but then a figure flies out, does a flip and strums a guitar.
"HELLO, WORLD! WELCOME TO THE SHOW! FOR THE BASTARDS TRESSPASSIN' I SUGGEST YOU GET CRUISIN' BEFORE YOU GET ONE HELL OF A BRUSIN!"
The team is confused until the portal explodes, a large mass of things fly out filling the sky blocking out the sun to the city. The heroes panic, the heroes don't know what to do. But the mass isn't attacking, in fact there's a wave of movement until who shows up at the front of the lines, a regal cape, a flaming crown and a glowing ice covered ring.
"Phantom." Nobody knows who breathes the name when they all realized what was happening.
Phantom simply waves his hand, a green megaphone forming out of thin air as he speaks into it.
"Attention invading forces. You have trespassed on territory claimed by the King of the Dead. You were given your chances to leave, and since you chose to stay then this must mean you have enjoyed your visit and wish to make your stay permanent. Don't worry, we'll help you with that. If you wish to leave, now is your chance. Either evacuate or drop your weapons of we will drop you."
The invading forces refuse, hell they even go so far as to scoff at the idea. Phantom simply shrugs then gestures to the one with the guitar, as she begins to play again and Phantom bops around for a second before he holds up his hand.
"By the order of the King of Death you are here by to protect the living souls of this world and destroy any who are not human, animal, or under our protection. There will be no ransacking, no obsession chasing, and no harming of the living. This is the decree now... take out the trash."
The slaughter is over before the one with the guitar finishes her third song. Two days of fighting over in less than nine minutes with no human lives lost in the attack, more captured enemies than dead, and without Phantom having to lift a finger.
The team is surprised, not only was Phantom working for the King of the Dead but the Army of the Dead was fuckin' terrifying. When Phantom was confronted with this information later, he simply laughs, shrugs and says;
"What can I say? Sometimes you have to let the kids outside to play or they'll go stir crazy."
"Why didn't you fight?" Another one of the heroes would ask as Phantom looked at them.
"You heard the decree, didn't you. 'No obsession chasing', my obsession is 'Protection'. I stayed back because if I was involved I would have probably caused more damage then our enemies."
After what the heroes had seen... this threat was terrifying.
Suddenly they realized that Phantom did help - by staying back - and the day he was actively in the fight...
Not even the mysterious 'King of the Dead' would be able to save the souls who went against Phantom.

I'm placing my bets now for Apology Tour -
episode unambiguously sides with Stolas & only has Blitzo be expected to change or apologize
Stolas bonds with Verosika over how awful Blitzo treated him (bonus points if they retcon it so Blitzo wanted to use Verosika's crystal to get to the human realm despite it never ONCE coming up in s1, in order to establish Evil Blitzo has a habit of using people, unlike Innocent Stolas who would never do that) and later confronts Blitzo on it (the whole dumb 'do you ever feel regret for what you do' line, though going by Stolas' outfit that could be a later ep)
Stolas' development won't be him realizing Blitzo had a point or that anything he said/did to him was wrong, but it'll be some kind of internal journey about learning to love himself (bonus points if Vassago turns up just in time to be his rebound and convince him he totally didn't do anything wrong) - this is where the 'I want someone to care, I want someone to want me' line comes in. Stolas is still self-obsessed but it's framed like he's just a sad uwu owl who just wants love
We won't hit the Blitzo Victim Blaming Event horizon yet but we'll get close - we'll save that for whatever consequences Stolas faces as a result of lending the book out that the show decides are all Blitzo's fault
Blitzo gets thrown a bone in the form of making up with Verosika
But this probably only happens after he realises Stolas is performing (the look on his face in this shot: https://www.reddit.com/r/HelluvaBoss/comments/1ctnyak/verosika_is_sitting_next_to_blitz_in_the_trailer/) and the episode uses Blitzo feeling bad about Stolas to motivate him to make peace with her (yuck) - as sort of 'Blitzo never had to look at the aftermath of him hurting people before and who is more hurt and sad than Stolas?' (the audience: literally anyone!!!)
That bit with the moon is part of Stolas' performance, maybe? (from the trailer on the line 'I want someone to care, I want someone to want me'
If Stolas' song isn't a straight diss track I'm betting it's gonna be a more ballad-like heartbreak song where Stolas sings principally about how he was hurt and victimized and only wanted things to work out and it hurts him when Blitzo shuts him out. If the episode has Stolas or anyone else acknowledge Blitzo yelling at him in the prior ep it'll only to do more Oops-like framing of Blitzo as just unreasonably prejudiced against the rich and his whole hangup is his problem
Blitzo is watching from the balcony and at this moment he has the epiphany that he 'doesn't want to be this way forever.' Song ends with that winceworthy shot from the trailer of Blitzo looking up, all vulnerable, as the show frames Stolas in this gold light like he's this idealized love Stolas always needed (upgrade yuck to puke)
Afterwards Blitzo will go up to talk to Stolas while wearing that white sheet who's weeping by himself as per usual (other shot from the trailer), to apologize. Stolas still will not say I'm sorry or anything close because the writers have clawed out the empathy chip in his head for good, but this is the moment where he and Blitzo will maybe sort of get it together, kinda
And y'know what my other bet from the trailer is? I think a lot of people are gonna hate it. They're gonna realize even more that waiting for the show to ever address Stolas' flaws is a losing endeavour and that it was a total lie that we were supposed to think Stolas was in the wrong. His only flaw was loving Blitzo too much
I think this is the moment the show loses the audience for good and only the Stolas apologists and the diehard 'it's good no matter what you say' crowd are gonna remain
I think you're probably right. I'll be extremely happy if you're not and even half of this doesn't come true, but I think anyone who's waiting on a sincere, heartfelt resolution where they actually talk about things and Stolas fully acknowledges what he did wrong is going to be deeply disappointed.

tagging game! tagged by @yarboyandy
-three ships
uhhhh. Off the top of my head. 1.lisacreature duh. the whole movie. they're not a healthy relationship but like they're fine they just destroy everything around them. i lurv it . also of fucking course I wanted a zombie boyfriend as a teenager. I won't lie to any of you
Tumblr media
2. danbert bc gay people in my phone. classic case of toxic yaoi. so toxic I've been thinking about them for years. if only reanimator had like been gay on purpose we could've had it all
Tumblr media
3. also based off of "what's in my camera roll". the evil scientists from mst3k are gay also. Dr Forrester and tvs frank.... is this even disputed. I don't care. I've known this since I was a child. "they're gay married and kill each other in looney tunes esque situations daily" feels like part of the character concepts.
Tumblr media
-first ship
Inuyasha x Kagome, most likely. it's like one of the first obsessions I can remember where a show had like, a romantic throughline I cared about at all. although, to be fair, I was still mostly into the comedy and supernatural stuff, and this was Very Young.
-last song I listened to
Tumblr media
youtube
I stumbled upon the tiny desk concert performance and well. I am not immune to popular things. chappell roan is pretty awesome. I love the videos and performances, but the pop music is also really solid, and I find myself enjoying it way more than expected. this songs good but I haven't listened to it a lot yet....my first time actually
-currently reading
Perry Mason and the Glamorous Ghost. I'm only like a chapter in. idk it was an impulse buy on my birthday because the cover was awesome. also pictured: my copy of Frankenstein. I read that in October. loved it
Tumblr media
-currently watching
uhmmmm. still rewatching always sunny in Philadelphia. forever. watched a couple episodes of space ghost coast to coast earlier. I still want to keep watching twin peaks the return but I haven't because. idk. its hard to be me....
-relationship status
very incredibly single. it is very hard to date when u can't drive where I live. I mean it's hard in any circumstance but whatever shots I had are dust. would love to date sometime in my life possibly. I have been feeling that way for um. like four years now. so. we will see how that goes.
-current obsessions
Lisa Frankenstein, obvs.....my hobbies and such though? kind of in a slump. I've been like.....learning how to apply makeup for once for fun. I'm still very bad at it but idgaf it is what it is what's always made me uncomfortable about it was that it never "looked right" and I didn't want to be judged. instead of just treating it like a for fun thing. ie I want Colors On My Face I don't even cover up my acne atp. oh and the gender thing. like if I didn't do the makeup right I was being bad at being a girl. and now I do not have to worry about that at all.
-currently craving
like, food? um. I hope the brownies I made tonight taste good in the morning. I let them cool overnight so idk how they taste yet.
-favorite color
green, but I'm a big fan of what pink and black (I KNOW it's not a 'real color' IDC) and some shades of blue and yellow and orange have going on. I just like colors lmao
-tagging
hiiii I won't mind if you don't do it this is just a little shout-out okay :) @mahkari @jokeryuri @homokommari @mushroom-in-space
also anypony else who wants to do it can.....I won't be mad

[meet the prisoners!] prisoner 006: yoshioka eiko!
Tumblr media
sorry guys some of these prisoners' image colors are very bright 😭
(also speaking of image colors. yes i know that shun and akio's image colors are very similar. i know. i tried to change shun's color recently but he just doesn't look that good with other shades of purple? and i refuse to change akio's image color, it just feels right to use that shade for him. so. yeah)
anyway, do you remember kei's personality description? good, now meet his female version. HNJSHJSJSJ i'm just kidding, even though kei and eiko are very similar (and they're kinda supposed to be like that because they're a pair, you know, 05 and 06), they have a lot of differences as well.
(also another note, sorry, but basically i was a little embarrassed about many of my ocs having names that start with the same letter or names that simply have the same letters, for example, akio, aimi and asahi or kei, eiko and eiji.. but then i remembered that like five out of ten canon prisoners have last names that start with "k" and three of them have last names that start with "ka". so.. yeah, i think i'm fine actually. I'M SORRY THIS IS JUST SO FUNNY TO ME LIKE.. THAT'S A LOT OF K'S)
Warnings: .. as you have probably guessed, this is what happens when you grow up with deco*27's songs: you kinda become obsessed with writing toxic relationships sjhskksls. so yes, we're dealing with destructive romance again this time! i promise not all of my ocs like that i swear the next four prisoners' crimes actually don't have anything to do with romance
General info:
Name: Yoshioka Eiko (吉岡 英子) (her last name means "good luck" and "hill" and her first name means "excellent" and "child")
Age: 23 y/o
Gender: Female
Status: Prisoner 006
Birthday: December 19 (Sagittarius)
Height: 168 cm
Blood type: B
Image color: #B4EFFF
Occupation: University student and a part-time model
Personality: At first Eiko really does look like Kei's "female version": she's flirty, playful, she's always ready to use her appearance to get what she wants and she's a very confident and talkative young woman. She also seems to be very interested in romance and even though she's literally in jail right now, she's still looking for a partner to "fill that void inside of her". However, that's where their similarities end. The thing is.. Eiko is actually much smarter than Kei. She doesn't lie, but it doesn't mean that she's always being 100% honest: she just doesn't mention some details on purpose. For example, sure, she will tell you everything about her victim, but she won't say anything about how she killed them. She actually has a potential to be the most manipulative prisoner here.. but she's too lazy for that, so she doesn't even try unless she absolutely has to. Like Akio, she doesn't take this whole thing seriously and when she met the guards, she thought that this is just some kind of roleplay and said that one of the guards enjoys punishing prisoners way too much for this to be real. And she actually decided to go along with it.
MV info:
Which canon Milgram song she would cover: No, Kei wouldn't cover Tear Drop even though he's literally wearing the same sunglasses from the MV. But Eiko would cover it! I don't have a deep reason for assigning her this song, it just has her vibes and I know she would do a great job covering it.
Which DECO*27 song she would cover: Relationship Scramble! You'll see why later.
If she could cover a song by a different Vocaloid producer, which one would it be: Cute Girlfriend by syudou. Again, you'll see why later <3
Her MV description: Just like Kei's MV, her MV would have very bright colors as well and the instrumental would sound a lot like something you could hear during a fashion show, if that makes sense?
The video starts with Eiko getting ready for something and we can see her trying to pick an outfit. She can't decide, so she turns to the mannequin she has in her room. The mannequin doesn't move and doesn't say anything, but she still smiles and finally makes a decision. When she's ready, it looks like she's about to leave.. but she doesn't and instead she just lies on her bed with a laptop and she looks really happy. She gets a notification and when she checks it, everything around her becomes the same color as her image color and it doesn't look "real" anymore, it's like everything around her is "digital". She's not home anymore, it's like she's walking around town and she finds everything very interesting. The lyrics mention her "taking a step into someone's world". She ends up buying some clothes and when she's back, she puts everything she bought on that mannequin from earlier. She looks proud and the lyrics say "I can't wait to finally see you".
She keeps going to that world and coming back with more stuff for that mannequin. Clothes, accessories, she even buys it things like books and games, like this thing actually has hobbies.. like this thing is actually a real person. She even hugs and kisses that mannequin and it looks like she really is in love with it. But it also looks like Eiko is sad for some reason and she finally decides to actually leave the house and not just go back to that digital world. This time everything around her is dull and gray and she doesn't pay much attention to her surroundings until she notices someone. When that happens, she just stands there, shocked and she can't look away from them.
Right after that, she goes home and when she turns the lights on, she walks closer to the mannequin and now it looks like she hates this thing and finds it disgusting. She starts breaking it, she starts tearing its head, arms and legs off and even beats the mannequin with its own limbs. She looks like she's really angry at it, but she's also crying at the same time? When she's finally done, she goes outside while holding a huge trash bag and throws it out. She goes back to her house and the MV ends with Eiko singing "I guess I'll just have to find someone new" and you can notice that her nails are actually painted the same color as Kei's image color.
Trailer 1 Voicelines:
"Hi~ My name is Yoshioka Eiko, nice to meet you! I'm still a university student, but I also work as a part-time model. Hmm, so you two are, like, the prison guards or something? Haha, so you enjoy being in charge? Ouch! Okay, okay, sorry~ So you want to know more about my crime too.. Well, I wouldn't call it a crime personally. I had to do it, I was lied to, after all."
".. Why is he not replying?.. I swear, he used to be online all the time before that incident happened. I guess I'll have to finally pay him a visit."
Trivia:
She doesn't care about her verdict, she just wants to see how everything will go. But she also thinks that she will most likely get an innocent verdict because "people love to see a woman suffer because then they can just say "oh, you poor thing" and make her depend on them so much that she won't be able to do anything without them".
She committed other crimes and not just murder, but she had only one victim.
She's very close with Kei and Prisoner 008 and she also tried flirting with Shun, but she left him alone after she found out that he has a girlfriend. But she said that Shun actually doesn't seem like the most loyal person and even though she wouldn't mind him having multiple partners (and she's more than okay with being in a poly relationship with him and Kei), she would prefer it if he stopped claiming that he can't just forget about his girlfriend and try dating someone else.
She's the only prisoner who managed to fluster Eiji, the guard who wants to vote everyone guilty, after she played along and went "Go on, punish me if you want, I don't mind". She thinks he's adorable.
She does share some traits with Mahiru, another Prisoner 006, but they're also very different. For example, Mahiru seems more interested in "emotional" love and she's more of a traditional hopeless romantic, meanwhile Eiko is more interested in "physical" love and even though she wants to have a boyfriend, she's not interested in "cutesy" and "lovey-dovey" stuff.
Personally, I feel like she's the least sympathetic female prisoner OC of mine? I made her sound like a girlboss and she kinda is, but when you think about her crime.. Yeah, this girl's morals are non-existent.
Kei and Eiko definitely have their own theme as well and honestly, it feels like they actually have two themes. I seriously can't decide which one should be their "official" theme, so.. It would either be something like "Idealization" (What if someone who you admired/loved so much turns out to be not as perfect as you thought they would be? Would you accept that? Or.. would you try to change that?) or "Betrayal" (If someone who is very important to you betrayed you, what would you do? Would you hurt that person back or would you rather hurt people around them to express your anger?)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
i'm quite annoyed. the first time i tried to do this, my laptop decided to update randomly in the middle and i lost everything. i was just about to post, and i was talking quite a bit, i'm not gonna lie. anyway, here we go, take two: electric boogaloo.
stop signs before impact — dabihawks, psycho-pass au
my friend, valya, and i wrote this together. i love this fic, i won't lie. i think the concept is amazing, and i love how i explore touya's declining mental state with every chapter. i love his family and everything he can't quite say. i love his delusions and paranoia, and i love the gruesome detail i get to go into with each crime scene. this is so self-indulgent, and i'm thriving. thanks @valya-azucena for inviting me to collaborate with you.
amongst the stars, we fall — sskk, college au
i was cleaning my bookshelf (read: finally moving all my overflow books from the floor to um. my radiator cover?? bc its been weeks and they've just been...on the floor), and i saw my printed version of this! i miss it a lot. it was one of my first bsd fics, and i loved it. i wrote it in like 2 days at the end of a gift exchange bc i hated what i had thus far, so just restarted. and this was born. i was so stressed LOL love songs — tachigin, music artist au
this isn't published yet, hence no link. but it's been living rent-free in my brain for over a year now, and i'm obsessed. i feel so much with this fic. if i think too hard about the charas, i genuinely start crying. damn, maybe the counsellor was right. i do need therapy... back when we were younger — dabihawks, monster au
also unpublished, also something that i hold very dearly. someone in ctabb was looking for monster au fic recs, but like monster movie-esque. they're the reason i watched cloverfield and it's now one of my favourite films of all time. they're the reason this fic even exists, and one day i will finish it. i'll post this random 50k one shot like i sometimes do, and then i'll read it when i want to cry.
do you want to bleed across the cosmos? — dabihawks, cosmic horror
i love gore and horror, can you tell? this fic marries that and my space hyperfixation. it's creepy, confusing, and dark. honestly, it's exactly what you expect an english and film student to write. and that is five of my favourite fics, not in any particular order but here nonetheless. i've been tired lately, and life has kind of sucked but also it's kinda better. it's weird, lol.

Hi, I see that you have Ewan McGregor on your list what other characters of his do you write for
Ewan McGregor's characters in yandere (1 part)
so, i hope it became clear who i'm writing about, but i want to say that there will be a second part, since all the characters did not fit in. i will release it either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but due to the fact that i am very ill right now, i don't think i can, but I will try. can say one thing: some characters will have platonic feelings, and you will understand why.
Obi-Wan Kenobi — gentle, caring, protective and obsessive yandere.
Tumblr media
A Jedi is forbidden feelings — love, affection — and for most of his adult life, Obi-Wan was in solidarity with this opinion. He was sure that Strength was the most important thing and that the code was always right. To succumb to emotions and these low feelings is terrible, almost unbearably painful. However, his you — the new padawan who passed to him after the death of your teacher, — awakened something strange in him and it is impossible to explain it rationally and calmly.
His love will be more protective and secretive. Obi-Wan will act in a closed manner, not spreading about your relationship, but the training will not be what it seems — he will teach you, but not the rules of maintaining calm, but your life with him. Obi-Wan's presence will quickly become unbearable for you, because soon, no matter how many times you tried to take your dissatisfaction with your teacher to the Council, every time he was refused, he will become more and more protective.
Obi-Wan believes that depriving you of the greatest lie of «freedom» will help you, and you will respond to his obsession with the same love. He begins to rave, constantly muttering that he will not be accepted by the council and worry — not for his well-being, but for you. He believes that the world is too dangerous for an angel like you, so you will spend most of your time together. Obi-Wan is often doubtful, and he won't be dangerous, however... sometimes his unexpected anger can turn into something terrible.
"I know the Council won't let us be together, my angel, but swear by the Force, I will never leave you".
***
Christian — delusional, jealous, pathetic, worshipful and obsessed yandere.
Tumblr media
Christian is obsessed with the idea of love — he really believes in the ideal of tenderness, purity and that it can lead to something beautiful. He lives in dreams and dreams that easily break against the ruthless reality. His love for you will be full of real sincere feelings, boundless, like golden fields, and all-consuming. He will give you all — from head to toe, — love and will wrap you in a straitjacket bearing a similar name.
And Christian will never know that it's wrong. He will be sure for the rest of his days, which you will live together, that his feelings are the most sublime that can only be. Life with him, whatever it is, is unbearable: Christian will not force you to do something around the house or do some obscene things; his character is patient and he has never thought about such desecration.
You are the apple of his Eye. His favorite being on the planet, to whom he is ready to dedicate all the songs and all the books of the world. Christian's romantic soul craves mutual and true love. He doesn't want to live in reality — his thoughts are only about you and immaculate feelings.
"I'll write a song for you! You will remember that I love you! That you love me, and I love you! That we love each other... I won't be jealous..."
***
Catcher Block — stalking, obsessive and possessive yandere.
Tumblr media
Among the people, Catcher has a reputation as a womanizer and a man charming at first sight — his playful winks and hinting movements quickly seduces girls, forcing them to sigh in resignation. He liked this kind of life and he was absolutely not against living like this. However, when the new employee did not pay attention to him, it greatly hurt his shattered ego. He was ready to come up again and again, to make soft or harsh hints, but you would continue to reject everything — and this was seriously exciting and at the same time insulting: such an unapproachable, but surely having her own fears girl.
And that's when he realizes that he's had enough and decides to follow you. Catcher will surely find out all your innermost dreams and desires; he will penetrate into your life like a spider, and you will not be able to do anything once you realize that you are in his tenacious embrace. He'll stop flirting with just anyone and realize that he can't live without you. And you can't do it without him, Block is sure. Catcher certainly never wanted anything but sex and satisfying his animal needs, but after meeting you, he realized the truth of his feelings.
In his house — a secluded bachelor's dwelling, — you will feel squeezed, but Catcher will try to fix it by doing everything for you; he would even learn to cook and get rid of bad habits. He will be happy to open the whole world to you and will be ready to obey, not realizing his dependence and the changes that are happening to him. He promises that one day you will become «Mrs. Block», you will be happy and in love with him. Promises that one day you will have a big house that you and a few frolicking kids will share. Catcher dreams of quitting his job, ending his debauched lifestyle and just being with you.
"Honey, everything's going to be great! Just imagine what will happen when we move into the house that you have chosen!"
***
Roman Sionis — insane, obsessive, aggressive, controlling and possessive yandere.
Tumblr media
Madness triumphs over reason and Roman is a clear representative of this statement. He will never love and show feelings of sincere love. Sionis knows that he is possessed and knows how dangerous his obsession with you is. He is used to controlling everything and being sure of his rightness — the main rule of life with him is praise. Praise him for any decisions and actions and then Roman will be kind, perhaps even allowing you to call him Romy. Praise him and maybe you'll get some freedom.
Roman considers you inferior to himself — a free bird picked up on the street, whose white wings were clipped at the wrong time, will never compare with him. As a child, he was not loved, so he will be demanding and very affectionate in bed, not letting you out until lunch. He needs guardianship and attention, so Roman tries to get it through the extraordinary and extravagance.
There is an unspoken rule in his club concerning you — you can't look, talk, or touch. You are the diamond of his soul, belonging only to him and no one else. Sionis will only allow Zsasz to talk to you, but only in the presence of Roman himself. He doesn't trust anyone, especially after the incident with the loss of Dinah's trust and her betrayal, for which Roman punished her with his own hands. Right in front of your eyes, which cannot be closed. You belong to Roman, as if you are a harlequin who is nothing without his master.
"You know, my workers think I'm a madman obsessed with a diamond... Yes, I'm a madman, but I'm not obsessed with a fucking diamond, but with you, my sweet bird."
***
Patrick McKenna — obsessed, stalking, worshipping and dependent yandere.
Tumblr media
Patrick has been taught since childhood that it is not worth building ideals; that people are God's creatures and should be treated with patronizing love for everyone. He took a vow of celibacy and was really ready to devote his whole life to the service of the Lord, was ready to give up ordinary human feelings and entertainment, forgetting that such a thing existed before. Patrick did not expect at all that when he saw you, he would enjoy seeing you off with a long apologetic look every time; he would enjoy savoring your name like honey and memorizing an easy image.
Your scent drove him crazy; since childhood, Patrick had not found anything much more pleasant than the scent of incense, but you were perfect — even if your views on the church did not coincide with him, — but he was ready to help you acquire this «gift». Life with him will be ordinary, because Patrick adheres to much more traditional values. He will not arrange dates at midnight, he will not seduce you with romantic deeds. The set of rules that will be announced to you should be followed, because you do not want punishments; Patrick always justifies them, hiding behind the Bible and sins.
Patrick craves touch: every time he appears in your room, he constantly touches you: strokes your hair and face, hugs your back, waist or neck, kisses your shoulders, lips and hands. He starts talking about the beautiful roses growing in the cathedral garden, the reproachful glances of the priests, and gives you a bouquet, holding it with his cut hands. The Cardinals think that Patrick is possessed by an unclean spirit. They are right, he is possessed, but not by demons, but by you.
"God is not against our union... He created you for me because he knew I needed a soul mate."
***
Mark Renton — possessive, dependent, stalking and obsessive yandere.
Tumblr media
Mark's whole life was saved only by drugs, and he was ready to quit, but he just couldn't find a reason — what reasons can there be to choose life when there is heroin? The guy who told people to «choose life» would never have done it himself. The buzz, from his point of view, can only be obtained from prohibited substances. Renton thought so for a long time, however, only until he saw one girl who struck his drug-addicted mind in a club where a Sick Boy brought him. In his mind, you were beautiful, like that euphoria, a hundred times better than any orgasm.
You will quickly become his constant drug, which want to be saturated with again and again. Mark will try to start a normal relationship with you until he realizes that you will never be interested in someone like him. Therefore, he will be much more intrusive than in the first days of your acquaintance, protecting you from the too sexy Sick Boy and unbalanced Begbie. Constantly touching you, demanding tactility, and absolutely not against hugs, Mark will not let go of his hands and even try to tie, just for you. Just for you and the atmosphere of daytime Edinburgh, when you walk through the parks, discussing the people around you. Just for the sake of you and that sweet smile that you squeeze out of yourself, just not to disappoint him.
Renton doesn't see you shudder every time he touches you. He does not see that it is difficult for you to be near him and that you prefer the company of the Spud. Mark does not believe in sincerity, does not believe in real relationships and love, but with you he is ready to be not detached, but simple-minded. He realizes late that you are replacing drugs for him. He realizes his dependence on you too late.
"I never wanted to choose a fucking life. But she gives a lot of fucking surprises, doesn't she, baby?"

Edward Bloom — protective, stalking and obsessive yandere.
Tumblr media
Edward had been looking for a lover all his adult life, firmly believing that she would reciprocate his feelings, because he was irresistible. Bloom knows that love is unusual and it represents something more than just attraction. Having met you, his time really froze — everything began to seem surreal and incredible. You looked at him without moving, and he gently stroked your cheek, intending to kiss you. At that moment, he was sure that you were his only one.
The more challenges, the better the reward. Edward was ready to do anything for you — if only you would pay attention to him; if only you would smile and say the cherished words of love in response, — he would collect all the wildflowers, decorate your house, write your name and confession with the help of an airplane, and even sneak into your house to decorate it and leave a little note. He knew you would have reacted with a smirk and just kissed him. Edward was loved by everyone, and he was ready to use it for his own purposes.
He is raving about you, collecting data, and constantly muttering the names of your favorite songs under his nose, talking to friends that they were glad to find his beloved, about your interests, adored flowers, while working. Whatever Edward does, where would he work, his thoughts will always be only about you, and nothing can break his love. He is happy that he has found his love, even if she does not know about him.
"I'm Edward Bloom. We don't know each other, but I love you. I've been working for the sake of you for five years to find out who you are. And it was worth it, because I see you, and you're standing so close... My destiny is to marry you."

Alex Law — jealous, obsessive and stalking yandere.
Tumblr media
It could happen in any city, but all cities are the same. Continuing to look for a new neighbor who would satisfy all the needs and desires of the owners, Alex always refused, because he liked to mock people and taunt people more. But in you — their new neighbor, — he liked everything: charisma, style, charm, so he could not refuse you. During the interview, he asks questions about his personal life, but only unusual and rehearsed ones. You amaze him, the gift of speech literally disappeared at the sight of your sloppy clothes and character.
He doesn't pay attention to your tired sighs when he flirts with you again and again or tries to drop by for you in the bathroom. Alex likes it when you lie on the couch together with him and watch mind-numbing shows on TV, whose content he has long learned. Alex gets real pleasure when your palms get tangled in his long curls and sort them out. He needs physical contact, no matter what, he will force you to do it. Especially in the presence of Juliet and David, showing that you belong to him.
It's easy to make Alex jealous; being in love with Juliet, he experienced this feeling often, but after meeting you and falling violently in love with you, Law became jealous for any reason. Whatever happens, whoever calls you, even at work, locks you in his room, which you now share, and answers the calls in a rude, unwilling tone. Alex is sure that he is doing everything right, because you need to be protected.
"Something seems to have slipped between us. You are the light of my life."

Dan Torrance — patronizing, obsessive and protective yandere.
Tumblr media
Beliefs don't make people better, actions are another matter. Dan has doubted himself all his life, trying to drown out the shining and grief with alcohol for many years, almost forgetting who he is. He was already ready to give up, disappear, as if he had never existed, because that's what you can't call life. At least that's what he thought before he met the charming girl who saved him; who charmed him and inspired him with her everyday actions, — Dan was ready to change even though he knew he would never see you again.
He doesn't look for you for long, with the help of his gift it comes quite easily. Watching you from the window of his house with a loving look, hopes that you will meet again someday. He tries to please you and buy with his meager salary of a caretaker everything you want or have wanted for a long time, even if you don't even know each other then. Dan thinks about the first meeting for a long time and quickly, after almost three years of watching you, decides on it. He knows absolutely everything about you — his beloved, — and will be ready to apply it in action.
Dan hopes that you will calm him down after frequent nightmares. But all dreams are shattered by reality when he reads your thoughts, even though he promised never to do it again. He is touched by your angry thoughts about him and the fact that you don't like him at all. Again the same pain, to experience whose unbearable. Torrance does not break down, he can be easily calmed down with simple hugs. Dan loves it when you call him «teddy bear» — his favorite nickname, which is a delight to listen to.
"I am happy that you helped me and put me on my feet, my love."

Curt Wild — possessive, gentle and obsessive yandere.
Tumblr media
The performance was supposed to be great — manager prepared script was perfect, there was no doubt that all the news would be teeming with their kiss. Curt was ready to perform in such a way that everyone started talking about him again, and with a vengeance. However, he did not expect at all during the fatal actions and kiss that he would open his eyes and see a girl standing alone near the stage, watching what was happening with obvious dissatisfaction. At that moment, it seemed to him that anger would burst out, and Wilde would really throw another tantrum, but only... it took him a while to realize that he was attracted to you. Kurt had never experienced this before, — it was something completely new for him and his consciousness.
He was worried about some questions about you that Curt wanted to solve, and not that it was so difficult: your friend was a fan of his, who went to almost every concert, which only went to hand. Wild quickly realized that this way he would be able to achieve a lot and learn more information — about your favorite colors, music, movies, life in general, — what he would constantly think about during concerts, imagining your beautiful lips during kisses, and not Brian's tinted and curved lips. He will be waiting for you after the concert on the roof, where you don't want to come, but you have to because of the security.
Curt just wants to be loved sincerely by at least someone, no matter whether it's a man or a woman. He just wants to feel those hugs and stop pretending to be so outrageous, even if he continues to perform — those hugs when he puts his head on your shoulder and squeezes tightly. He constantly says that he is doing everything right and that he will never hurt you, making frequent gifts with a smile on his face. Curt tries to show his good side, hoping that you will never encourage his nervousness, hysteria and self-doubt.
"You can be my sweetheart."

A Very Merry Skzmas Masterlist
Tumblr media
"I really don't understand what they want from me." Jisung was venting to Ginger as she handed him his Americano.
"I guess that's family for you, they always set expectations and if you don't meet them then you get grilled about it. It's your life, You should be able to do what you want. At least that's how I feel about it, but I don't have those problems, my family is non-existent. It's a blessing and a curse."
Jisung had come to the book cafe like every morning to grab his coffee and do a little bit of work. He has lots of emails to check but today he needed to send weekly guitar lesson schedules to his students . On top of all his usual work he was also working on booking shows for Christmas but he was struggling with whether to accept offers.
Every year Jisung booked himself full for Christmas parties, restaurants, holiday festivals, you name it! He made great money doing it. Normally he didn't do anything for the holidays other than work but this year his family had been pestering him almost constantly to come home for Christmas. When his best friend Chan said he wanted everyone to come together for Christmas it made it even worse. He couldn't go back home to see Chan and not go see his family. There was one huge problem though... his family may be under the impression that he had a girlfriend.
"I always just lie and say that I'm seeing somebody to get outta stuff, but to actually have to go home and be around them? They're going to want to see pictures, they're going to want to know who this person is and I have no actual person to fill that spot!" Jisung was definitely panicking.
Ginger had been the barista at the book Cafe for as long as Jisung had been going there. Which was a really long time honestly, and they quickly became friends over the years. Ginger finished making Jisungs Americano and handed it to him. He went and sat at the bar to give Ginger time to clear out the line that was forming behind him. Once the morning rush had cleared out she started wiping down the counters and came back over to where he was seated.
"Well I hate to say this but ... it's what you get when you play with fire. Telling your lies definitely hasn't paid off now. "
Jisung stopped typing up an email to look at Ginger "Scold me all you want! I have tough skin." He smirked and quirked his eyebrow.
"I won't scold you anymore" she laughed "It's like you just need somebody to pretend to be your girlfriend for Christmas. It would satisfy your parents and then you could carry on with the rest of your life and maybe they'll step off your case for a little bit." She wiped the rest of the counter down before heading to clean up some of the dirty dishes that had piled up during the rush.
"Yeah, yeah, fake girlfriend" Jisung rolled his eyes and shook his head. What an insane idea. He didn't even know a single person who knew him well enough to do that even if he wanted to...well he had one friend. He looked over at Ginger, the plan forming in his mind already.
"Ginger whens my birthday?" He asked
"Uh...September 14th." Ginger was working on brewing a new pot of their medium roast and paused to look at Jisung with a confused face.
Han closed his laptop and gave her his full attention. "My favorite dessert?"
"Cheesecake....are we playing 20 questions?"
"Kind of... Favorite season?"
"Winter. What do I win if I get all these right?" She crossed her arms
"I don't know yet but keep going, what's my favorite color?"
"Red. Whatever I win better be good." She purses her lips and leaned against the counter.
"Ok let me think....oh! What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to me as a kid?"
"Your middle school crush Penny something the other hugged you and your braces got stuck in her sweater. You ripped a hole in her sweater and she about ripped your braces out" Ginger started chuckling to herself uncontrollably.
"Damnit...of course you remember that" he laughed with her. "Ok, final question, you ready?"
"Hit me."
"Will you be my fake girlfriend?"
Ginger about fell out in the floor. "I was joking about that!! Are you crazy?"
"Its genius though! I don't have anybody else I can ask to fill in like that! Nobody knows me like you! I don't have any other friends that can do it, its perfect! We already have a shit ton of pictures together cause you come to my shows with your friends on the reg" Jisung was talking with his hands looking like a mad man. "You aren't doing anything for Christmas so you would be free! The sign on the door said the shop is closing on the 21st until the new year! It's perfect Ginger!"
"I am your friend and I do know a lot about you... but I am not saying that I need to pretend to be your girlfriend. And my Christmas plans are fine the way they are. Me, a bottle of rum, and my bed. That's the perfect Christmas." She couldn't believe he actually wanted to do the fake girlfriend thing. So what if she knew him pretty well, that didn't qualify her to put on an Emmy winning performance as his fake girlfriend.
"Okay well first those Christmas plans sound terrible because who wants to be hung over for Christmas... But second... it'll be fun! It's a free trip, and you'll get to meet my crackhead friends."
Ginger came over to the bar and leaned against it, leveling herself with Jisung "You have to be shitting me. You want me to come and spend the holidays with your family and friends in your middle of nowhere small town all while pretending to be your girlfriend? You're calling that fun?"
"....yeah?" He smiled his toothy smile and turned on his sparkly eyes. "Ginger... please just think about it. If you do this for me I will owe you a huge favor. You've been wanting to start your own cafe, I would be free entertainment for your cafe anytime you wanted!"
"Don't tease me about this Jisung, you know I'm serious about this cafe. I'm literally waiting on the owners to call me back any day now about whether they're going to sell to me or not."
"I'm serious Ginger! I will keep that promise to you! Please just ...think about it. I wouldn't leave until the 21st, which just so happens to be when the shop is closing anyway!" He waggled his eyebrows, "And we'll only be there for a couple days before Christmas so we can get it over with quick... 5 nights max, then we'd come back home."
Ginger worried her bottom lip between her teeth."... I'll think about it. Can I tell you tomorrow if I want to do it or not?"
"Yes!" Jisung slapped his hand on the bar. "Thank you! Okay, I'm going to head out and leave you to think about it...but I will see you tomorrow." He winked as he grabbed his laptop and Americano before leaving. Ginger groaned internally, what had she gotten herself into?
The rest of Ginger's day flew by before she closed up for the evening She stopped by her favorite Chinese food place to grab dinner. Making it back to her apartment she took a quick shower, put on cozy clothes and then dug into her Chinese food.
.
.
She grabbed a piece of paper and in between bites of her sweet and sour pork she wrote down pros and cons to being Jisungs fake girlfriend.
Pros
1. Free holiday trip
2. All the perks of being a girlfriend without any of the responsibility
3. Free live entertainment for your future cafe
4. might be fun?
Cons
1. Having to be a fake girlfriend
2. Not having free entertainment for your future cafe
3. Not getting a free holiday trip
4. Might be miserable from lying
The pros and cons were bleak, leaving Ginger to ponder while she finished her dinner. By the time she had finished eating she still hadn't been able to decide which way to go. This led her to go digging into her junk drawer in the kitchen to find a quarter. She decided to let fate decide.
"Okay, heads I go... Tails I stay... "Ginger took a deep breath before flipping the coin up in the air. She let it land in her hand and then smacked the kitchen counter. Slowly she pulled her hand away.
Heads.
.
.
The car ride to his hometown was long but it was filled with lots of car karaoke which was fun. When Ginger had told Jisung she accepted his offer hat next morning at the coffee shop he literally threw his fist in the air like Bender from the Breakfast Club in the closing scene. He was standing in the coffee line getting crazy looks from the customers behind him. He had immediately texted his mom and his friend Chan while he was there to tell them they were both coming for Christmas.
He picked her up the morning of the 21st and they were off. Jisung had done some quick Christmas shopping for his family and gotten everybody something. Ginger wanted to be helpful so she made her apple cider donut cake to bring along. If there was one thing she knew, the best way to win people over was through their stomachs.
With only a few hours left in their trip Jisung turned the music down. "So we should probably figure out our dating story. We may be in for an interrogation from my family...they were already texting me questions about you."
Ginger stomach rolled, now that she was here on her way to Jisungs hometown the nerves were hitting. "Oh god...okay...let's see...I think we should stick to the truth to make it easier for us. Cause what if we get separated? We don't want to tell two different stories."
"How do we tell the truth? This is all one big lie." Jisung asked. Ginger wanted to slap his adorable cheek for not helping her nerves.
"I mean yeah, it is a lie, but like...we met at the coffee shop 3 years ago. That's true. Our first date can be....that Post Malone concert we went to! That was really the first thing we went and did together outside of going to the bar and your gigs." Ginger was going to be better at this than she thought.
"Thank God youre the brains of the operation, this is coming together." Jisung jokes sending a smirk Gingers way. She shook her head and nudged his shoulder playfully.
"Atleast one of us has a brain." She fired back.
Jisung laughed before continuing, "Ok we met at the coffee shop, our first date was the Post Malone concert... Hm, how long should we say we've been together? Cuz dating versus being together are two different things."
"Well...how long have you been telling them lies about seeing someone?" Ginger proded.
"Uhhhh....for like 2 years."
"Jisung!" Ginger slapped his arm playfully. "You're awful!!!"
"I know! I know! I'm sorry! I just...like working? I don't know, I just don't ever care about going home. So we atleast gotta be dating for 2 years."
"Okay, we met 3 years ago at the cafe, we casually dated (aka all our hangout sessions) then we got serious 2 years ago." Ginger summarized. "Who asked who?"
"Oh definitely you, you're the decisive one, I'm too indecisive. You asked me to make it official for sure."
They finished planning out their fake dating timeline and got back to listening to music. Just as they passed city limits the sun was starting to go down. By the time they got to Jisungs parents house it was completely dark. His parents lived off the main road tucked away in the trees. A gravel road wound a path to the 2 story house in the woods. Several cars were parked out front, all of Jisungs family from cousins, aunt, uncles, to grandparents were here. Ginger had made Jisung help her memorize names before they got there. She might be a fake girlfriend but she was going to be the best fake girlfriend there ever was.
Parking his truck he asked "You ready?"
"As I'll ever be dear." Ginger teased. Inside her stomach was doing backflips but on the outside she was keeping it together.
They got out of the car and started getting their bags from the backseat. Ginger grabbed her cake, making sure to grab the one thing that could help her first impression. They left the Christmas presents for his family, they'd get them later. Before they could even make it up the sidewalk to the wrap around porch the front door was opening and people were pouring out, all with excited faces.
"Jisung! My baby is home!" An older woman wrapped Jisung into a huge warm bear hug.
"Hi mom." He softly said and embraced her back. Her eyes fell on Ginger quickly and she was pulling herself off Jisung leaving him to greet his dad and siblings.
"You must be Ginger!" Mrs. Han embraced Ginger quickly before pulling away "We're so excited to finally meet the mysterious significant other who keeps our Jisung away all the time." It was a little backhanded but Ginger honestly couldn't blame her. Jisung had set her up for a rough job. Good thing being the significant other meant goading your partner from time to time.
"Mrs. Han it's so wonderful to finally meet you." Ginger has sat her bag down and grabbed one if Mrs. Hans hands, playing up the dramatics "I am so sorry it's taken 2 years for us to meet. I...I have no family and I'm not well versed in family dynamics... I always told Jisung to come and see you all for the holidays but he never wanted me to be alone. He's...he's helped me see the beauty in family and I'm really excited to have a family Christmas for the first time in almost a decade. Thank you for opening up your home to me. I can't wait to get to know every single one if you." The soft sincere eyes were turned on, really selling the act. Mrs. Han immediately pulled Ginger back in for a second hug.
"Oh my dear, I had no idea, Jisungs never shared anything with us...We're going to make sure this Christmas is extra special." Mrs. Han released Ginger and asked if she could help carry anything.
"I brought my apple cider donut cake for everyone. " Ginger offered her the cake to carry.
"That sounds divine! It won't last long I'm sure."
"Quick introductions," Jisung slid in by Ginger as they made their way onto the porch. "Ginger you met my mom, this is my dad, that's my sister Lina, these are my cousins Johnny, Mark, Haechan, Seulgi and Wendy. My aunt Tae and my Uncle Gon, my aunt Stacy and Uncle Jack, my Grandma Betty, and last but not least the family dog Bbama."
Ginger swallowed hard "N-nice to meet you all." That was a lot of people and Jisung wasn't lying when he said his family was big. They all greeted her with hugs and smiles before filing back into he house.
"Im sure that drive was long and y'all are ready to settle in. Let's take your bags upstairs. Everyone can start getting to know each other later." Mrs Han dropped the cake off in the kitchen first and then led the way up the stairs with Jisung and Ginger following behind.
"Here we are!" Mrs. Han led then into a spacious guest room with a joining bathroom. It was decorated in gray and white and was very cozy. "You both can get cleaned up and relax for a little bit, I'm going to get dinner started. Come down whenever and grab a bite if you'd like."
Mrs Han stopped by Jisung and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm so happy you're here." she then headed to Ginger. She reached out and gently squeezed her arm giving her a warm smile and nod before leaving then to themselves. Ginger may have put on an act to sway Mrs Han just a few minutes ago but there was definitely some truth to her not having any family. They were estranged, Ginger hadn't dealt with them in years. Christmas wasnt a time spent with family for her, it was usually spent laying around getting to be lazy and not being bothered by anybody. So this was definitely a different pace for her.
Jisung had a very tight knit family and they obviously cared about him a lot since they were always eager for him to come back home and spend time with them. Even if he was hard-headed and put his career above everything else they were still asking about his life, checking up on him, and inviting him to thing's. Ginger couldn't help but wonder what that felt like to have people who cared like that.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick." Ginger left her bags by the bed and locked herself in the bathroom for a moment. She wanted to clear her head. She braced herself against the bathroom counter and looked into the mirror. First meeting went pretty good, she thought to herself. Now just the rest of Christmas to go.
.
.
Jisung hadn't thought a lot about anything past getting to his parents. But now standing in the guest room looking at the queen bed against the wall he quickly realized that he might not have thought this plan through entirely.
They hadn't discussed sleeping arrangements.
He decided that he would just sleep on the floor and she could sleep on the bed. He knew where the linen closet was and he went to grab extra blankets to make himself a pallet. Getting on his knees he spread out he blankets and built his makeshift bed.
"What are you doing?" Ginger asked, her eyebrows ruffled together. She had come out of the bathroom to an odd site of Han on his knees making a...nest? on the floor.
"Well I figured you could sleep in the bed.. and I'll sleep on the floor." Han broke out into a cold sweat, suddenly nervous talking about the sleeping arrangements.
Ginger flushed realizing that they hadn't talked about the sleeping arrangements at all. They were in a fake 2 year relationship. Of course his family would think they were sleeping together.
"What if somebody comes in our room and sees you sleeping on the floor? That's weird right? Operation fake girlfriend could be sabotaged." Ginger didn't want to make things worse for him or herself. "I mean ...Why can't we both just sleep in the bed? There's plenty of room." Ginger didn't really have any reservations about staying here with him alone... in a bed... inside his parents house. She internally groaned at herself. "Sleeping in a bed isn't all that much different from when we fall asleep on my couch while watching a movie, right? You'll have your side and I'll have mine." Ginger used rational thoughts to justify it, trying to half convince herself that she wasn't a little embarrassed about the situation.
"You're sure?" Jisung asked, unsure about the whole thing himself. He was sweating bullets at this point. Falling asleep on the couch was one thing but laying next to each other in bed was another.
"I'm positive. Stop making your bird's nest and let's unpack." She tried some humor to ease the tension. At least tried to.
He shook his head and began picking up the blankets and folding them to take back to the linen closet. Ginger had grabbed her suitcase and began sorting through her stuff.
"You're absolutely sure?" Jisung asked one more time pausing at the door before he took the blankets back to the linen closet.
"YES!" Ginger threw a pair of socks at him as he darted out the door.
"Okay!!!" He laughed as he walked down the hall. This is fine, Jisung. He thought to himself, trying to not be bothered by the thought of laying in bed with Ginger, but somehow he was finding himself very bothered... specifically hot and bothered.
They had finished unpacking and Ginger was so nervous she wasn't hungry so she stayed in their room while Jisung went and grabbed food downstairs. She ended up taking a bubble bath thinking it would ease some of her anxiety. Jisung was on the other end of the spectrum, not nervous at all and was stuffing his face with his mom's famous macaroni and cheese.
.
.
He wound up staying downstairs and talking late into the night with everyone. Catching up on years of missed family events. Jisung felt a little shitty hearing about everyone's milestones and having not been around to see it all himself. Everyone was sitting around the living room in various spots while Christmas music softly played from his parents old vinyl record player that was in the corner.
"Well you know what our plans are for Christmas eve and you're going to Chans on Christmas day, what are you and Ginger wanting to do the rest of the time your here?" Hans mother asked as she came back with a tray full of hot chocolates for everyone.
"Well....I actually have two shows at the bar in town....if you guys wanna come?" He asked grabbing one of the hot mugs from the tray. "There's one tomorrow and the night after."
"We can actually see you perform for once!?" His dad perked up from his spot by the fireplace. "Count me in!"
"And me!"
"Yeah, me too!"
"Can we maybe go ice skating? Like we used to when we were kids?" Jisungs sister Lina asked.
All of his family was so excited to see him play and that made him feel even more shitty. He didn't share any of his life with them. He didn't send pictures, he didn't send videos. Nothing. They probably hadn't seen him perform since he was in high school.
"Alright what else are we gonna do the next couple of days?"
"Yes! Absolutely!!!" Jisung was way to excited about that one. They would go ice skating alot when he was growing up. He had been pretty good at it too.
"We gotta go to the gingerbread village too. All the Christmas lights are so pretty." Jisungs cousin Seulgi spoke up.
"Can we go to the brewery? Cause as much as I love the idea of ice skating and Christmas lights, I like beer more." Jisungs cousin Johnny chimed in.
Jisungs family planned out 2 days jam packed with things they were going to do. For Christmas Eve the family was planning to do dinner and open presents after. Christmas morning they would have breakfast and chill out all day long, except for Ginger and Jisung since they were going to Chans for dinner. They had 4 days to keep their fake relationship charade going. So far so good.
Jisung found himself yawning after hours of talking with his family. Ginger had never come downstairs so he figured she must have gone to bed.
"I think I'm gunna go head to bed, Ginger probably already passed." Jisung stood up and stretched.
"Okay honey," Jisungs mom got up to hug him "I'll have breakfast ready in the morning at 9, I'm sure she'll be starving."
Everybody told him goodnight as he headed back upstairs. Once upstairs he opened the bedroom door as softly as he could. The night stand lamp was on, casting a warm glow around the room. Ginger was curled up in bed sleeping peacefully. She had been reading a book but it was now laying flat on her chest. She was sleeping in some black white plaid flannel pajamas and that made Jisung stop in his tacks.
Pajamas.
He didn't bring pajamas! HE WAS AN IDIOT. He normally slept naked, it was only him in his apartment, he didn't have anything to worry about. He packed his bag like he was some bachelor without a care in the world. This is what he got for not thinking about the sleeping arrangement beforehand. He only had jeans, no sweatpants, no nothing....he had boxers...he'd sleep in his boxers.
He got ready for bed, taking time in the bathroom to pull himself together. This was fine. Ginger and him had been to a few pool parties over the summers. They'd seen each other in swim suits. Swim trunks and boxers weren't too different. He opened the bathroom door and expected to find Ginger still in bed sleeping.
"Jisung!" She squeaked. She was standing on the other side of the door with her hand raised about to knock. Ginger took in the site of Jisungs broud chest and lean muscled arms. She had woken up because she has to use the bathroom. She was half awake about to knock on the door, not expecting to find a naked Jisung surprising her.
"Ginger! Shit I'm sorry! I- You see- The thing- It's not-" he stumbled over every thought he kept trying to say. He pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I forgot pajamas." He said flatly.
She couldn't help but face palm herself. "Well...okay then." She couldn't even think straight with Jisung standing here. Her eyes traveled his body, noticing how his trim waist had the delicious "V" leading into his boxer briefs that were molded to his skin, cupping him snuggly, leaving little to the imagination. They had seen each other before. She knew what he looked like shirtless, but... This was different. She'd always found Jisung attractive. He had a stunning smile, his jawline was devastatingly handsome, and his body was....to be blunt, it was sinful. They might have been friends only but she wasn't blind. He was hot.
"See, I should have kept making my damn nest earlier. This is getting weird for you and-"
"Jisung." Ginger interrupted
"Yeah?" He said softly, neither of them had moved an inch since he opened the door.
"It's fine. I need to pee and then I wanna go back to bed. It's no big deal. So if you can get out, I'd appreciate it." Ginger wiped the sleep from her eyes and waited for Jisung to move so she could enter the bathroom. "We're adults. I know what anatomy you have, you know what I have. Big deal." She played it off. Ginger shut the bathroom door leaving Jisung standing in his underwear.
Little did he know that on the other side of that bathroom door, Ginger was having horribly dirty thoughts about the large bulge that she just saw. She leaned her head against the door pulling herself together.
Jisung had crawled into bed and was curled up on his side facing away from Gingers side of the bed. After coming out of the bathroom she got in and did the same, putting their backs against each other.
"Goodnight..." She said quietly
"Ginger you look beautiful!" Mrs. Han complimented as Ginger came into the kitchen. Everyone was getting ready to head to the bar to see Jisung play. After a very restless night of sleep knowing that mere inches from her Jisung was practically naked Ginger had gotten up early and made herself some coffee. Mrs. Han was the next to be up and that led to Ginger helping her make breakfast for everyone. They played a game of get to know one another while it was just the two of them in the kitchen. Ginger found Jisungs mom to be such a sweet woman. She was practically perfect, like a TV mom. Ginger learned more about Jisung as a teenager from Mrs Han. They decided to keep all the embarrassing stories their little secrets. Soon everyone trickled down into the kitchen and began to eat. After breakfast they had a a jam packed day planned with activities. One being ice skating. Ginger just so happened to be awful at ice skating. Jisung on the other hand was practically an Olympic ice skater. After falling down multiple times Ginger was ready to call it a day and just go watch everyone from the sidelines but Jisung wouldn't let her. He pulled her back out onto the ice and held her hand for balance. He talked her through it and after an hour of his teachings she was finally able to skate without falling and stop when she needed to.
"Goodnight." He replied back.
.
.
The whole family had headed home afterwards to get cleaned up and eat dinner before heading to the bar for Jisungs show that night. Jisung had gone early to set up and do soundcheck. He insisted Ginger stayed with his family and come to the bar when they came. His set started at 930 so it was about time to leave.
"Thank you Mrs Han." Ginger blushed, grateful for the kind compliment.
"Ride with us Ginger!" Jisungs sister Lina clung onto Gingers arm. "Let's go!" She ushered her out the door with everyone else following. They loaded up into their cars and headed into town. Lina drove and made Ginger sit shotgun.
"So I have to say, I've never seen Jisung act this way before, the way he acts around you...he's...light hearted...happier."
"Oh!" Ginger was a little stunned. "I guess I only know one version of Jisung. I'm sure you guys know him better than me."
"Maybe I'm saying this wrong" Lina chuckled, "What I'm meaning is I've never seen my brother in love.... it's nice to see him happy. So, thank you for making him happy."
"He....makes me happy too." Gingers stomach was full of butterflies. Did Jisung care for her? In more than a friend way? The rest of the car ride was small chat but Ginger couldn't help but keep thoughts of Jisung in the back of her mind.
Once at the bar they had to put a few tables together to have one big enough to seat them all together. They all got drinks and waited for Jisungs set. The bar was decorated with Christmas decor, it was cute. Ginger didn't know what to expect once they got into town but it was quant. Lina had even pointed out Jisungs old hangouts and told her more embarrassing stories from his childhood to add to Gingers ever growing vault of hilarious Jisung stories to bring up to him in the future.
"Good evening everybody!" A familiar voice came over the speakers. Jisung had come on stage and slipped his guitar over his head. "I'm Han Jisung, I see a lot of familiar faces from highschool out there, so you might remember me. I had a guitar strapped to me back then and obviously not much has changed!" The audience chuckled with his corny joke. "Let's all have a good time tonight!" He led right into his set and didn't stop playing for over an hour. Ginger had seen Jisung play tons of times before but each time she was always amazed at his voice. She sung along the whole time, enjoying every second of seeing him in his element. Jisung played a few slow songs and and each time the dance floor filled up with couples who slow danced, swaying to the music.
"Let's go dance!" Haechan, Jisungs cousin, held his hand out for Ginger to take as the next slow song came on. Ginger took him up on the offer, putting her hand in his. He twirled her once on the dance floor before placing her hands on his shoulders and letting his hands rest on her waist. She hadn't slow danced with anybody in a long time. It felt strange to be held in somebody's arms like this. Her last relationship was years ago and she just fooled around every now again. Nothing romantic. As they swayed and turned, Jisung came into view over Haechan's shoulder. Their eyes locked and the corner of Jisungs mouth turned up. That beautiful smile that could make your stomach flip. Ginger found herself suddenly wishing that Ryan was Jisung instead. She thought of the lean muscled arms that she saw last night while standing in the bathroom doorway wrapping around her holding her close, how it would feel to laynher head on his muscled chest...The song ended and so did Gingers day dream about Jisung. Reality crashing a little too hard for her liking.
The rest of the night flew by. Jisung finished his set and his family decided to head back to the house. Ginger decided to stay and wait for Jisung as he finished packing his equipment. She found a seat at the bar. Pulling out her phone she got distracted by her Instagram feed, seeing all the things everybody was doing for the holidays.
A shrill laugh drew Gingers attention, she turned to see what was happening. Jisung was leaning against the wall talking to a blonde haired girl. She was laughing at something he said. She took advantage of the moment and reached out to touch Jisungs arm. It wasn't a friendly touch either. It was one of those flirty touches. To test the waters, see how far she could push the boundaries, check if he's interested kind of touches. Jisung leaned in closer to this girl and Ginger decided she had seen enough, she didn't want to see more. She quickly slipped on her jacket and headed to wait by the car. The icy winter air that hit her as soon as she stepped outside helped cool her off. Why was she feeling so....jealous? This was her best guy friend. She had seen him flirt with girls before. Why did it bother her now?
.
.
"I'm tired. Ready to go to bed." She stared out the window at the houses passing by. She couldn't enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights for all the frustration she was feeling towards Jisung. Unwarranted frustration, but frustration none the less. Jisung didn't ask anything more the rest of the way back to his parents. Once they arrived, Ginger headed directly upstairs.
The car ride home was awkward. Jisung had come out of the bar to find her by his truck. It was freezing outside and he was confused as to why she hadn't waited inside for him. When he asked her why, she was short with him.
Jisung watched as she climbed the stairs without a word. He was hoping they could stay up and watch a movie or something but he figured that was off the table now. Hopefully tomorrow Ginger would feel better he thought to himself as he walked into the kitchen. His stomach growled as he opened the fridge searching for something to tie him over.
"Hey! You're back!" Jisung peaked over the fridge door to see his cousin Johnny. He must have come downstairs for the same reason Jisung was there. They both ended up raiding the fridge and made them a spread of late night snacks.
"You'll never believe who I ran into after the show." Jisung said as they started digging in.
"Who?"
"Penny freakin Peterson." Jisung laughed
"Oh God Jisung not Penny Peterson!" Ryan shook his head and laughed. "She was the worst girlfriend you ever had in highschool, she was so much drama."
"Ugh, I could slap 16 year old Jisung. My idiot brain only cared that she was the hottest girl in school."
"Well Ginger is perfect for you. 16 year old Jisung can be forgiven for being an idiot, he figured it out eventually."
"Y-yeah, she's really amazing." Jisung couldn't help but think back to earlier at the bar. He was singing one of his slow songs for the night and Haechan had asked Ginger to dance. Seeing her dance with another man made him feel...odd inside. He found himself wishing it was him swaying to the music with Ginger in the dim bar lights with all the tacky Christmas decorations.
"Yall have been together for two years, you thought about...you know... marriage?"
Jisung choked on the mouthful of food he had just shoveled in. Coughing he finally caught his breathe.
"Uh-no." He squeaked out "Not exactly. We're not in any rush I guess you could say."
"Hey, that's okay too, I was just curious." Johnny chuckled. "Don't stress about it" he patted Jisung on the back. "Imma go back to bed but I'll see ya tomorrow for all the other Christmas shenanigans they're gunna drag us to. Goodnight man!
"G'night!" Jisung finished off his snack and put their dishes in the sink before heading upstairs to bed himself.
"Knock knock!" Lina poked her head in the door. "How ya feelin?"
.
.
Ginger had woken up the next morning saying she didn't feel well. It was a lie but it was part of her plan. She had decided the less time spent with the Han family the better. She just needed to make it 3 more days and she'd be back home. She wouldn't be playing fake girlfriend, she wouldnt be laying in bed next to an almost naked Jisung every night, she wouldn't be making friendship's with Jisungs family, she'd be back in the comfort of her own home, all alone, where her heart couldn't be potentially broken-and she'd have her bottle of rum for company! Lina being the angel she was, had decided to stay at the house with her all day, despite Ginger begging her to go with her family.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for checking on me." Ginger had been watching videos on her phone trying to distract herself but it wasn't working. She kept thinking about that girl at the bar last night and how Jisung had leaned down. What had he said that made her laugh so much? Did he like her? Ginger mentally scolded herself, she was the fake girlfriend, she shouldn't care. Why did she care so much?
"She alive still?" Ginger heard Jisungs voice out in the hall. Lina opened the door the rest of the way as Jisung approached.
"I've taken good care of her all day. She's still alive." Lina joked moving out of the way as Jisung came into their shared bedroom.
"Hey" Jisung sat on the edge of the bed. "You feeling better? You wanna come to he bar tonight?"
"I don't know..." Ginger toyed with the sting of her hoodie nervously.
"Johnny said Penny Peterson was there last night." Lina spoke up while laughing
"Ugh, that was so weird. She's still shallow and pretentious. You should have heard the crap she was saying! I faked being nauseous just to get away from her."
Ginger remembered seeing Jisung lean down. He must have been fake heaving. Not leaning down to get closer to Penny, but leaning over to pretend being sick.
"Penny Peterson?" Ginger asked "The Penny from the sweater incident when you were a kid?"
"Yeah!! That's the one!" Lina started laughing. "Jisung dated her in high school and oh boy, was that ever a hot mess."
"I was an idiot! I know! She got bored and broke up with me after a few months, thank goodness!" Jisung rubbed his face. "Being an idiot was kind of my forte as a kid."
"I noticed." Ginger giggled. Relief washed over her knowing he wasn't flirting with this girl from the bar. She then got mad at herself for missing out on a fun day with him and his family over a dumb misunderstanding.
"You faked being nauseous, you mad bastard, that's genius!" Lina was laughing so hard she clutched onto he doorway.
"I think I do want to go to the bar tonight." Ginger spoke up. Jisung who had been laughing with Lina immediately perked up at the prospect of having Ginger come to his second show.
"Really!?" He didn't want her to push herself to far. "If it's too much don't worry."
This time Ginger got ready and left with Jisung. He went to set up and do a quick soundcheck. She held a table for his family while she waited for them to arrive. It was the day before Christmas Eve and the bar was busier than Ginger expected.
"No I want to, I think I was just really worn out from ice skating yesterday. Ive rested all day, I'm feeling much better." One more lie couldn't hurt at this point. He didn't need to know she had been jealous.
.
.
"Holy shit! If it isn't ol' squirrely himself!" A booming voice drew Gingers attention up from her phone screen. A broad shouldered guy in a leather jacket was up near the small stage talking to Jisung. A girl was with him, she had her arm looped around his. So they must be together.
"I see you're still hooked on nicknames Binnie." Jisung stepped off the stage and gave him a quick hug. "Kandi, you and Binnie finally make the love connection, huh?" Jisung elbowed the girl in the side playfully. I bet Chan is loving it! Took you two dumbasses long enough!"
"Yeah, yeah, apparently everybody else got the memo before us, but we finally got it, okay!" She rolled her eyes laughing along with Jisung. "We heard through the grapevine you were performing tonight, we wanted to come and see."
"My whole family should be here soon, you guys wanna sit with them? My girlfriend is saving a table for everyone."
Hearing Jisung say 'my girlfriend' made Gingers heart tighten. She found herself liking it more than she should. Jisung turned and made eye contact with Ginger, shooting her a dazzling smile as he pulled his friends over. They all made introductions and soon we're engrossed in conversation about Jisung and him growing up here. Gingers book of tales about Jisung kept growing. First his mom, then his sister, and now from his friends.
"Then he had to stay home from school for 3 days and take baths in tomato juice. We made him ride in the back of my old truck all the way home." Changbin slapped the table as he laughed
"So that's why he hates skunks so much!" Ginger had finally figured out Jisungs hatred for skunks. Him and his friends had gone camping one time and a skunk decided to pay Jisung a visit in his tent. It obviously didn't go well. Soon Jisungs family arrived and the reunion between Changbin and them commenced. Jisung squeezed Gingers shoulder, smiling down at her when she turned in his direction. With a quick wink he left the table and headed back up to the stage to get ready and play his set.
Apparently Changbin had been away for the past 6 years so it was a pretty big deal that he was here. Him and Kandi were obviously pretty smitten with one another. They held hands, Kandi would trace the pattern of Changbins hand tattoo every little bit. He would watch her when she wasn't looking, you could see how much he loved her just by how he looked at her. The longing that she felt in her gut told Ginger that she wanted that too.
The same as the night before, Jisung threw in some slow songs and Ginger watched all the couples swaying to the music. The bar was even more crowded tonight so if you wanted a drink you had to go get it from the bartender. Ginger had finished her first drink and decided to get a second one. She left the table, making her way to the bar. Placing her order she waited patiently.
"Yeah I slid in his DMs last night. He wants me. Definitely going to seal the deal tonight." Ginger overhead the conversation beside her and noticed a familiar blonde head facing away from her. "Jisung came home for the holidays so I'm going to give him a very Merry Christmas."
Gingers stomach rolled. Her head filled with thoughts of all the things Jisung had said about this Penny person. Was he lying? Ginger and him were in a fake relationship, he could talk to anybody he wanted to. He didn't answer to her. But why did it hurt so bad knowing he was talking to this other girl? Ginger got her drink and headed back to the table. Everybody was enamoured by the show but she was practically a ghost sitting in her chair, she didn't want to interact with anybody. She just needed to make it to the end and then make it back to Jisungs parents. She didn't wanna be in the same room as Jisung or Penny.
Jisung was almost finished with his last song. Ginger excused herself to the bathroom. She was so uncomfortable she was practically crawling out of her skin. This had been a horrible idea. It started out harmless but obviously Ginger had stronger feelings for Jisung than she ever realized. She mae her way to the girls bathroom and once inside locked the door. She needed a moment, she was so overwhelmed by all these new feelings.
She stood in front of the sink and looked into the mirror, it had a string of silver garland hung over it. She stared at herself contemplating what she was doing, what she was feeling, everything that was making her stomach roll. She could hear Jisungs set finish and soon people were knocking on the bathroom door.
"Occupied!" She called out. Not sure if she could even face Jisung right now if she went out there.
"Move! Move I said!" A loud voice could be heard outside.
"excuse you!?" Somebody sassed back at the voice.
"Excuse yourself!" A voice got louder and louder outside the bathroom door until BANG BANG BANG
"Ginger it's Kandi! Open up!"
Ginger flinched. Not expecting such an aggressive entrance. Ginger unlocked the door and let Kandi in quickly. "Hurry up in there!" Somebody called out. Kandi ignored it and locked the door behind them.
"What's going on? Your whole mood shifted earlier. I wanted to make sure you were ok." Ginger leaned against the door watching Ginger as she rung her hands.
"It's a complicated story..." Ginger didn't know Kandi very well and she didn't want to blow the whole charade.
"Look, if anybody gets complicated, it's me. My dumb ass let the love of my life slip through my fingers for 6 years. I literally don't know what the hell I'm doing but at least I'm with him now." Kandi smiled a soft smile, "we may not be friends....yet that is...but I would love to be here for you if your upset over something."
Ginger felt like Kandi was a safe person to open up to "Well...I think Jisung and Penny Peterson have something going on....she was talking at the bar and I heard her say she was in his DMs and him and her were going to..." Her voice cracked and tears sprang to her eyes but she held them back.
"What!" Kandi's voice was shrill, "No way, Jisung can't stand her! No way in hell! That bitch is crazy, I just put her in her place the other night for talking shit about Binnie, ohhhhhh she is messing with the wrong crowd, I swear-"
BANG BANG BANG somebody else knocked on the door.
"Hey everything ok?" Jisungs deep voice ringing out.
"Talk to him, Penny is a psycho snake. Jisung would never want anything to do with her. You guys talk and me.... I'm gunna go pay Penny Peterson another visit." Kandi unlocked the door and slowly opened it. "She's all yours squirrely."
"Some of us need to use the restroom!" A girl complained in line.
"Then use the men's!" Kandi barked as she let Jisung in and walked back down the hall.
"What's up?" Jisung locked the door behind him and then gave his full attention to Ginger.
"I- I don't know Jisung. Things are... different now. I feel... different." Ginger felt Jisungs eyes on her but she was too nervous to make eye contact with him.
"Things are different how?" He pressed, stepping closer to Ginger. She still didn't dare look at him.
"When I decided to play your fake girlfriend, I thought this would be easy. We've been friends for so long...and maybe that's part of the problem. We've been friends for so long that I never said anything, never tested the waters, I never pushed to see if maybe....just maybe there was something more than friendship here. But you have your life, you want to be single, I know that, you have every right to talk to Penny, you can do whatever you want, you don't answer to me. I'm an idiot for ruining our friendship with my feelings, I don't-"
Ginger couldn't even finish her sentence before Jisung had closed the distance between them and was tilting Gingers chin up to meet his gaze. "Ginger, I have no feelings for anybody other than you. So if you're ruining out friendship with your feelings, then I'm ruining it too." Their eyes searching each other's. "Let's ruin it together." He said before snatched her lips with his. Ginger melted into him instantly. All her nerves and anxiety falling away. His arms slid around her waist. He had thought about how it would feel to run his hands over her hips, to feel the sway of them under his palms. It was better than he had ever imagined.
Jisung was solid and Ginger wrapped her arms around his neck to pull herself as close to him as possible. The kiss started soft and sensual but grew heated and urgent as Jisung nipped at Gingers bottom lip. She gasped as his hands found purchase on her ass and squeezed.
"You feel so good under my fingers baby girl." He whispered, breaking the kiss to rest his forehead against hers. There was a loud crash and a bunch of commotion outside in the bar but it didn't phase Jisung or Ginger. Jisung chuckled ignoring whatever it was and found Gingers lips again, searing the feel of them into his memory. Jisung slowly walked backwards, taking Ginger with him, until he was leaning against the wall behind them. Using the hand that's were still cupping Gingers ass he pressed her into him. She couldn't get close enough though, she felt like she needed more and more. She let Jisungs leg slip between hers, she pressed herself into him, the friction only fanning the already building fire. Her hands tangled in the hair at the nape of his neck as her hips bucked against him grinding her core on his firm muscled thigh.
"Ginger..." Jisung said breathily , "Do that again and you're going to be in trouble." His eyes danced with mischief. Ginger couldn't help herself. She rolled her hips against his leg, her own breath hitching in her throat.
"Alright baby girl, looks like you want to cause trouble." Jisung leaned down to nuzzle against Gingers neck. He nipped and kissed his way back to her mouth. Using his hands he rocked her hips against his leg while he tensed and flexed his thigh muscles. Ginger got closer and closer to coming undone.
"Jisung please, I need you, I need you now." Ginger was a whining mess in his arms and he wasn't going to stop while he was ahead. He quickly switched them around so she was pressed into the wall with Jisung boxing her in. Ginger had worn a thin sweater dress and Jisung was more than happy about that choice. He quickly freed himself from his pants, but he wasn't going to rush into this. Sliding his hand down over Gingers hip and down her leg so he could hook her one leg around his hip. He slid his other hand to her center and moved her soaked panties out of the way so he could tease her. She was making all sorts of delicious whimpers at his every touch. Her slick folds telling him she wanted him as badly as he wanted her. He pulled his hand from her sopping cunt and licked each finger clean. Ginger watching him, thinking she could cum from just that sight alone.
"You want me baby girl?" He asked teasingly. He wanted to here the words fall from her lips again.
"Yes, please Jisung."
"Hold tight baby." With Gingers arms around Jisungs neck and him still holding her one leg around his hip, he quickly picked her up to wrap the other leg around him as well. He pressed her against the wall, lining himself up with her dripping core and entered her slowly. Each inch that she slid down was heaven and hell. Ginger begging him for more spurred Jisung on. Once Ginger was seated fully on his cock he pulled out and entered her in one smooth motion. They both moaned in unison, the overwhelming pleasure washing over them.
"You okay baby girl?' Jisung breathed before moving any further. Jisung was about to bust just being sheathed inside of her but didn't want to move till she was ready. Ginger took a few deep breathes and adjusted to him before speaking.
"I'll be better once you fuck me senseless."
"Your wish is my command." Jisung slid out and pistoned into her. The angle making sinful friction against Gingers clit and his length hitting her most sensitive spot with each thrust. Moans spilled from Gingers lips as Jisung claimed her as his. His ego being stroked knowing that if anybody heard them, it was him making her moan. It was his name falling from her lips and nobody else's.
"Baby I'm not gunna last much longer, you feel too damn good." Jisung placed wet sloppy kisses against her neck.
"I'm so close, don't stop." She pleaded. Jisung set a punishing pace, his grip on Ginger would definitely leave marks. She was so close to tipping over the edge the room was spinning. "Jisung!" She clawed his shoulders as she came, crying out. A few more choppy pumps and Jisung was spilling into her. He rested his head on her shoulder, keeping himself buried in her for a moment. After a few minutes if them both catching their breath, Jisung deciding to finally move. He slowly let one of Gingers legs down and eased out if her. He got her feet back underneath her before fixing her ruined panties back in place and then he fixed his own pants. She adjusted her dress and then used the mirror to fix her smudged makeup. Coming up behind her Jisung wrapped his arms around Ginger and nipped at her neck.
"I hope you know that's only round one baby girl, just wait till we get back to our bed."
Ginger almost melted at the 'our bed'. She leaned back into Jisung, "I'm going to hold you to it."
BANG BANG BANG, a loud knock on the door making them jump.
"Hey guys? Uh, Kandi ripped Penny Petersons extensions out so uh, I think we're gunna go but y'all keep having fun! See ya Christmas day at Chans!" Changbin yelled through the door. They both bust out laughing. That definitely explained what the loud commotion was earlier. Ginger definitely liked Kandi.
"I think it's ....Gingers turn to open her presents!" Lina had just finished opening her presents and in true Han family fashion they had a tradition for that too. Lina picked Ginger to be the next one to go. Ginger had two boxes in front of her.
.
.
"Which should be opened first?" She asked, neither box had a tag on them as to who they were from.
"I think you should open the big one first." Lina chimed in. She seemed a little too excited about this.
Ginger ripped the wrapping paper off, she lifted the lid and folded back the red tissue paper. Inside was a beautiful apron with her name "Ginger" embroidered across the top.
"It's so beautiful!" She pulled it out admiring the stitching.
"Sewed with love." Mrs. Han spoke up.
"You made this?" Ginger was shocked.
"I did, I hope you like it."
Ginger jumped up and hugged Mrs. Han, she would definitely treasure this forever.
"Thank you, I love it so much." She wiped a tear away before anyone could see. Returning back to her spot on the couch beside Jisung she grabbed the smaller box.
"That one is from me." Jisung spoke up.
Ginger smiled at him, excited to see what was inside. She pulled the paper off and slowly lifted the lid. She dug into the tissue paper hiding the surprise inside. Her fingers touched something smooth and she pulled it out. Dangling in her hand was a keychain. A key on one end and on the other was one of those old hotel room style keychains. It was pink and in a scrolling font read "Gingersnap's Cafe" .
"I-Is this...a key...to the old cafe downtown?"
"It is." Jisung was so calm, while Ginger on the other hand was spiraling.
"Jisung...are you saying... it's mine?"
"It's yours baby."
Ginger turned to look at him in disbelief. "B-but how did you know before me?! They haven't even told me!"
"Well...there's perks to being friends with the previous owner. I may have called in a favor so I could surprise you on Christmas."
Ginger had tears in her eyes and she couldn't stop smiling. She threw herself in his arms and hugged him tight. "Thank you." It came out a broken whisper as the tears started falling.
"The whole family is going to come down and see it when you have your grand opening." Lina spoke up. "You'll be putting that new apron to work I'm sure."
The whole family. Ginger let the tears fall freely now. They were happy tears though. Her heart had never felt more full and complete. She had Jisung, she had gotten her cafe, and she was lucky enough to get the family she had always wanted.
"Merry Christmas Ginger" Jisung kissed her cheek softly
"Merry Christmas Jisung."

alright because you're interested,,,
-okay so first of all i love height headcanons and i think it would be so goofy if lily was actually the tallest but like. just barely her and cacao are basically the same height but she's just ever so slightly taller
-this is almost unrelated but dark cacao writes poetry that's what i always say. hewrites poems for his partners (pv and lily keep them all in a binder) it's practically the only way he knows how to show affection
-pv loves to play with lily and cacaos hair
-i have a hc that all the ancients went to the magic academy together i am obsessed with this idea dark cacao transferred over at some point they all came together to form one friend group through gc and hollyberry beginning to talk (pv dragged lily along in that extrovert that adopted the introvert kind of way since he was friends with hollyberry already)
-lily gives pv ridiculous little nicknames that she calls him one of these is nini. she couldn't come up with any good ones for cacao so she played of of pvs and calls him cici she apologizes all the time for not being able to come up with a more creative one
-pv wrote love letters to lily and cacao while they were in school he somehow managed to get them to the two without them seeing him. although cacao very easily figured out who was sending the letters just by listening to pv talk for a little while. lily is a little oblivious (a little being a lot) and just. didn't put two and two together
-lily is very bad at drawing but she loves it and pv draws with her sometimes (he is even worse than her because his eyesight? terrible)
uhh i know i have more but this is all i can remember right now <//3 thank you for letting me share
While I don't personally think that all of the ancients went to the magical academy together (since it's an academy that specializes in magic, and I don't think that every single one of them are knowledgeable about magic and how it works), I won't lie and say that it isn't a neat concept for an AU. (And I may or may not have come up with little animatics in my head revolving a few Mean Girls musical songs and Cookie Run Kingdom characters. Dark Enchantress is Regina. But I digress.)
Anyway I love poetic Dark Cacao who has a hard time with expressing his emotions but an easier time figuring them out through written words. He can take his time with it, and while it probably takes him hours to write out a simple poem, I like the idea of him appreciating that he could... take his time with it. Maybe it even helped him process how to speak his mind more when he became a king. Love that positive reinforcement.
Also love Pure Vanilla playing with others' hair I love that to death. Headcanon that Pure Vanilla has restless hands that feel like they need to do something at all times. And whenever he doesn't have anything else to do, his hands fidget with his stave, which is usually enough in that moment.
Anyway super sweet headcanons they deserve to hold each others' hands

Thank you, these'll definitely help keep me distracted while he's in surgery!😊
10. What���s your favorite fandom, pairing, or character to read fic for?
Right now, definitely anything so'hara!
11. How do you come up with your fic titles?
Oh, it depends! Usually I try coming up with a title on my own that fits the story, if I can't come up with anything good I'll look around for a song title or a line in a song that fits!
14. Do you have a personal word minimum that you hold yourself too? Why or why not?
I try to have my chapters be at least around 4.5k words, but I won't stress too much if it ends up being 3k, I'll go with whatever feels best for the story! I used to stress about this a lot actually, but I've gotten loads better at realizing that it's not the length that matters, it's the quality of it that does😊
17. How obsessively do you sit and stare at your fic after you’ve just posted and wait for feedback?
Haha, this is funny! I won't lie, I love it when I see someone's taken the time to comment and given me feedback! How obsessively? I might have created a habit of checking my emails the morning after publishing a chapter. I just love reading the ones waiting for me in my inbox, they usually always makes me smile wide! Great way to start the day🥰
21. What’s your least favorite part about the fanfiction writing process?
Realizing that if I want to see it finished, I have to actually write it😂 No, but sometimes, writing can be a bit... Tedious? Frustrating? Challenging? It'd be so much simpler if every day was a good writing day, but sadly, that's not the case for me🙃
23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?
Soulmates, I think! I don't know, there's just something so romantic about the whole concept😊 (yes I know it sometimes can feel a tad unrealistic, but I read a ton of books like that growing up and I just really love how it makes me feel ok)
24. What’s a trope that you’d like to never hear about as long as you live, let alone write?
Bury your gays. Do I have to say more? My heart and soul still hasn't healed from when they killed off Lexa (I seriously can't watch that episode, I will break down), like what was the point of that?
28. How do you deal with writing pressure (ie: pressure to update, negative comments, deadlines, etc)?
I've learned this the hard way. If I'm too stressed or feel too pressured, I most likely won't continue it. So first, I never publish anything until I'm at least (!) 50% done OR have enough chapters to survive a possible writer's block period😝 And regarding negative comments, Idk, if I do receive one (which rarely happens bc you guys are 99% of the time angels) I either reach out to the person if it's obvious that I may have offended them OR I delete the comment/block the user if it's too insulting/making me too uncomfortable.
31. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?
Oh, I'd say Son is my favorite atm! She's portrayed in such different ways all the time, so she's always fun to explore!
34. How much of yourself and your life experiences do you put into your writing? What do you think your readers’ image of you is?
I don't do it intentionally, but I think a lot of my characters suffers from various insecurities and nervous habits (such as Em's fiddling with her sleeves, her biting her lip, etc)
You guys' image of me? Gosh. Hahaha, I really don't know! Based on how I write my notes before and after the chapters, maybe as someone who's a tad overly excited? Hopefully people see me as kind. Maybe also as a bit too optimistic at times? Idk, I usually do try to sound very cheery when writing the notes. But Idk, did I do okay or does anyone think anything different?😂❤️
36. Are there any fics or fandoms you’re embarrassed to have written or been part of?
Fandoms I'm embarrassed about being part of? Nope! Fics I'm embarrassed I've written? Yep!

There's no shadow you won't light up, mountain you won't climb up, coming after me There's no wall you won't kick down, lie you won't tear down, coming after me From reckless love by cory asbury Every time I hear the song I picture Cas and how he stops at nothing to save Dean because he loves him, and how incredulous Dean is about being worthy or deserving of that overwhelming, never ending, unstoppable force of love from Cas.
what a beautiful song! this turned out much more pine-y than love-y, but sometimes that’s just the way of the muse.
Dean doesn’t know what he did to deserve this.
Even from the start, Cas has given Dean everything—rescued him from Hell, rebuilt him piece by piece and breathed the air back into his lungs. Granted, that was on Heaven’s orders, but even after that…
Cas has fought for them, with them, so many times, even against his own kind. And even though he’s friends with Sam, and protects him as well, there’s just something different about the way he is around Dean. The lack of personal space, the fact that he always comes whenever Dean needs him, the feeling that Dean gets in his soul whenever he’s nearby.
He leans back against the Impala, pushes his hands into his jacket pockets, and lets his eyes close for a brief moment.
Why me, Cas? Of all the people you could’ve latched onto, why me?
“Dean?”
Fucking angels, always keeping an ear out for prayers.
Then again, maybe that’s just his angel.
It’s only through practice and sheer willpower that Dean manages to keep from jumping out of his skin, and instead turns to face Cas where he’s standing a few feet away. The dingy motel parking lot lights still manage to illuminate the curve of his jaw and those shockingly blue eyes, and Dean feels his breath hitch involuntarily.
“You called for me,” Castiel says, when Dean doesn’t immediately speak. “Is everything okay?”
I wonder how much he heard.
Dean fights to keep his thoughts quiet, just in case Cas feels like using his angelic powers to figure out what he’s thinking about. There’s some stuff he definitely wants to keep to himself, but the rest of it…
It’s stuff he’s been turning over and over in his head for a while now. Obsessing over it and always circling back to his own confusion clearly isn’t doing him any good, so maybe…
Maybe he just needs to ask.
In that moment, he makes his decision, and he doesn’t give himself time to second guess it.
“I don’t… I don’t fucking get it, Cas,” he starts, running his fingers through his hair in frustration as everything he’s been feeling over the past few weeks comes bubbling up to the surface. “I don’t deserve any of this. I didn’t deserve to be saved from Hell, and I’m definitely not worth fighting Heaven over. Every time I need you, you’re always there, and I just don’t understand why.”
The last few words come out louder, harsher than he’d intended them to. They seem to ring out between them in the quiet of the night, and Dean swallows thickly. Already, he regrets his outburst…
And Cas is still just watching him with that same expression. Impassive. Unmoving.
The silence stretches out between them, and Dean has never been so aware of his own heartbeat, his own breath, as he is right now.
Just as he’s about to give up, as he’s about to say psych, it was all a joke!—
Cas moves.
He closes the distance between them in just a few steps, until he’s right in front of Dean, and usually he’d make a joke about personal space, but this feels… Different. Charged.
Castiel’s eyes are locked on his, powerful storms and entire worlds held within them. There’s no way Dean can look away.
“You are my Righteous Man,” Cas says quietly, and his voice is like the rumble of thunder and the movement of mountains. “I gave everything for you, and I would do it all over again, in a heartbeat.”
The weight of those words hangs between them. There’s so much unsaid in them, and Dean has never felt so close to and yet so far from discovering exactly how Cas feels about him.
He bites his bottom lip, trying not to think about just how close Cas is standing, and how he can basically feel the heat radiating off him.
Cas’s gaze flicks down to Dean’s lip, and in that moment, it feels like Dean’s heart stops. He’s holding his breath, his thoughts clamouring with the what if? of this one single moment.
He sways forward, just a touch, as though pulled by a magnet, and between one heartbeat and the next—
Cas disappears.
And Dean is left alone, standing in an empty parking lot with only his thoughts and the roiling emotions in his chest to keep him company.

The Ghost Of You
21 - Unwanted Inconvenience
Tumblr media
I've changed the band name from "Xannys" to "Grimlace". I am extremely sorry for making you all suffer through having such an awful band name in the past.
I cannot stress this enough, please vote for my chapters! And I love every comment I get so much!! It makes my day seeing the number of comments I get:)
This chapters songs:
Retreat! - Crumb
Sponge Won't Soak - Wild Moccasins
Dark Red - Steve Lacy
- Y. L. Perspective
"Uhm...Suga?" Tanaka's voice is heard to our left, waking both me Koshi up from our very long nap. "We're here you know."
His awkward tone alone was enough to send us both jumping out of our seats, fearful that the entire team had waited for us to get up. But thankfully, it was just Daichi and Tanaka standing above us.
Both Koshi and I look at each other in unison. "Sorry..." he manages to mumble while leaving the seat. I follow him shortly after, leaving the van empty.
Was I sorry? No. The nap against Koshi was five stars. I hadn't ever had such a comfortable car ride in my entire life until I rested on him. Besides, he was my boyfriend. Why would I be sorry for something silly like that?
What I was sorry about was that we almost got noticed by Eclair. The entire team knew about Koshi and me, except for her. I didn't know much about her and from what I perceived of her she didn't seem like a drama starter. She would most likely cry and yell and forget about it when she went back to France in a couple of days.
We had thought everyone would be tired after such a long car ride. But not Hinata. He admired the structure of the big building, yelling, "Wow! I've never been to a training camp before! This feels so cool!"
"It's just a training camp," Kageyama remarked, yet Hinata stands unfazed.
The team entered the building, all of us observing its basic beige architecture and decor. Everyone gathered around Takeda to ask which rooms they were assigned to. As for Kiyoko, Eclair, and I—we had asked him beforehand to get a head start.
All three of us manage to sneak off from the crowd and hunt down our room number: #613. Although I wasn't very comfortable around Eclair, I didn't feel uneasy to be sleeping in the same room as her. It only meant I couldn't update Kiyoko on my relationship with Sugawara.
Once we'd found our designated room, I unfolded the tiny key and stick it into the lock, hearing a click not soon after I turn it.
When I had opened the door, I wasn't entirely dissatisfied. There were two bunk beds on each side of the room, all four mattresses covered in floral printed sheets with nightstands next to them. The curtains had the same pattern as the sheets, falling over a large square window.
Overall, it was a nice room. Way nicer than the previous motels and hotel rooms that my band had stayed in during concerts and such. All stank of marijuana and alcohol.
Eclair's brackets make a 'jingle!' sound while she squealed, "it's lovely!" The girl runs up to one of the bottom bunks and places her bag there, collapsing onto the mattress. "I'm so thankful to be spending my last few days in Japan here!"
Kiyoko nods gently, her too putting her luggage on the opposite bunk bed. Assuming she wouldn't mind it, I threw my bag on the bunk above her. It would most likely be easier to communicate with her if I shared a bed with her.
"Yes, it's very nice," I say, smiling merely at the blonde girl.
Kiyoko began to unpack her toiletries into the small drawer attached to the bunk bed. I hopped down from the top bed and did the same, observing the carvings that the drawers had. Names, dates, and funny remarks were scratched out in the middle of it, lots of them left from previous sports or art students that came to this building for a camp of some kind. All were either hilarious, inappropriate, or gentle. But in all, they made me smile.
"So you're in a band, Y/n?"
In my eyes widen in fear. Nobody from the team other than Sugawara, Daichi, and Kiyoko knew that I was in a band. So how did the girl find out?
Hesitantly turning my head, I nod, making out an awkward smile across my face. "Uhh, yeah. How'd you know?"
She sits up confidently and chuckles. "I was taking a glance at your Instagram. You seem to go on a lot of trips around the world!"
I wasn't very used to being confronted about my band. And besides that, being acknowledged she was looking through my Instagram was stressful. If she knew about my band, was it possible she knew about Koshi and me?
"Yeah, I travel now and then." Proceeding to unpack my things as if it was no issue to be questioned, I place my pairs of shoes under the bed.
No matter how uncomfortable I attempted to make my tone, she kept on going. "Oh...that sounds like fun! You must have so many fans. Your voice is great too. I wonder why you've never told them team about Grimlace!"
"Hm, I like to keep my life outside of volleyball private..." I say. "Could you please not tell anybody else?"
My question sure was quiet but clear to her. It would determine whether or not Eclair was a bitch or genuinely a nice girl.
Thankfully, she nods lightly, messing with her nails. "Of course not."
Suddenly, the conversation is put to the side by a knock on our door, sending Eclair, hushed Kiyoko, and me to flinch.
Kiyoko puts a hand on her chest, sighing in relief that the tension was interrupted. "Come in," she tells the person on the other side of the door.
Two boys are revealed; Nishinoya and Tanaka walk in, already dressed down in their "sleep clothes", which consisted of a white t-shirt and shorts. Could I talk any mess about their outfits? Nope! I was planning on wearing the same thing.
The buzzcut bow flutters his eyes at the sight of Kiyoko brushing her hair and quickly grows flustered. "L-ladies! Dinner is on the table." He spoke loud in nervousness. "Do you guys like your room?"
"Tanaka, we've been in here less than ten minutes. I'm surprised you're already gotten dressed!" Kiyoko speaks in a sweet tone that seems to mesmerize him. She finished up brushing the ends of her hair and dusts her hands off on her sweat pants, before looking towards the other two girls in the room: Eclair and I.
We nod and drop what we were doing to exit the room with her. If the odds were in my favor, Eclair wouldn't continue interrogating me during dinner. If so, she would soon find out about Koshi and me from one of the men that walked behind us, flustered they'd
Not soon after leaving, we arrive in the mess hall, where the volleyball club was spread around filling their plates and emptying them into their tummies.
The two boys leave our side to continue eating and we help ourselves to some plates. Today they served simple rice, roasted vegetables, and chicken. Nothing special, nothing utterly disgusting. As I'm picking up my food, I look over to the lunch table that the boys were scattered upon, keeping an eye out for any gray-haired men.
There he sat next to Daichi, eating small portions of the rice left in his bowl. 'Does Eclair's being here mean I'm not allowed to sit next to my boyfriend during dinner?' I think internally, finishing filling my plate.
Kiyoko helps herself to sit right next to Daichi, fitting in with the rest of the third years that sat on the bench next to the second years Ennoshita, Kinoshita, and Narita. Across from them were the first years and the terrible two: Tanaka and Noya.
I stood uncomfortably at the end of the wooden table, looking over it to see if there were any empty seats I could eat in. All that looked back at me were eyes of curiosity and confusion.
It only took a few seconds of staring until someone was nice enough to mention my standing there.
"Y/n! Why don't you take my spot? I'm just about done anyway," Daichi tells me while he got up from the bench with the now empty tray. I look at Daichi, then Koshi, then to Eclair who was now walking towards the lunch table.
I of course didn't want her to take my spot, so I nod and bow politely, before switching places with Sawamura. He pays my shoulder gently, whispering, "you're welcome!"
Kiyoko and Koshi both smile at me, scooting over the slightest to make room for me. I say my thanks for my food and began picking at my rice, listening in on the boy's conversation.
"And then I spent my time practicing on the girls' team since I didn't have anyone else to practice with me. It sure felt like I was a part of their club!" Hinata told us, Eclair sitting down next to him, beginning to eat her food as well. "What about you guys? Did you guys have any rough stories before getting into volleyball?"
Tanaka cuts the air with his pointer finger, motioning for us to pause any conversation until he was done chewing. "I used to be a mega introvert before attending Karasuno!"
"Yup, Ryunosuke was just like Kageyama but worse," Nishinoya commented.
I raise a brow at the mention of that. Tanaka—a boy at the edge of having a breakdown?! I couldn't speak for myself. I too was a short-tempered girl towards the beginning of high school.
Kageyama scoffs, rolling his eyes at the mention of his name. "I'm not that bad, you know." We all knew that was a lie. As much as he denied it, Tobio struggled with his anger issues.
Eclair raises her hand slightly, swallowing a lump of rice. "Don't sweat it Kags, everyone has their embarrassing issues. For instance: I used to be such an obsessive girl in my first year. I'm sure I was a nuisance to many of the people in the volleyball club. Always talking in class and being a ditz was my specialty!"
"What about you, Y/n? Have you ever been involved in volleyball, or is this your first time being a part of a volleyball club?" Nishinoya asks me. At first, I thought of shaking my head and replying with a no, as if my memory of middle school had disappeared from my mind.
After thinking about what to reply with for a second or two, I nod my head slightly. "Hm...in junior high I was on the girls' volleyball team, but I was more of a bench warmer. I only joined the team to be closer to my friends, that's all."
"Aren't you friends with the captain of Seijoh 
boys volleyball club? You know, since you went to middle school with him?"
I look up to the girl who assumed such ridiculous things, Eclair. There she sat with her chopsticks in hand, lips parting slightly. It was crystal clear that she was trying to dig out my history and force me to tell the volleyball club about my personal life further than what I was comfortable with.
Knowing that I was uneasy, Koshi lays his hand gently onto my knee under the table, squeezing it ever so slightly. My heart beats in its cage, anxious at how many ways this conversation could go if I had said the wrong thing.
"...is that true?" Asahi asks, looking at his fellow teammates to observe their reactions. All of them looked just the same: betrayed.
"Eclair, it's best not to assume things about people you barely know," Koshi tells the girl in a monotone voice, making it obvious that he knew her intentions.
'Well, this got awkward fast.'
"It's okay. Uhm— I'm not friends with any members of Aoba Johsai's volleyball members. Where did you hear that?" I ask, setting down my utensils and clasping my hands together. Surely her reasoning has to be good if it meant ruining my very new relationships with most of the boys at the table.
Most of them sigh after my question, placing hands in their chests. "I thought you were a traitor for a second, Y/n! Eclair, you scared us half to death!" Noya whines.
The girl blinks a few times, shrugging. "I'm terribly sorry! I heard it from a girl that goes to Aoba Johsai, she says that Oikawa never stops talking about Y/n! She only knew by looking up your name and finding out she went to Karasuno."
"Seems you have a crush on Y/n, Eclair. You're almost addicted to looking into her past." Kiyoko suddenly made a remark, smirking as she drank a sip of her water.
The girl grows flustered very quickly, blushing. "No! Sorry, Y/n. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I'm only interested in what it's like to live without many boundaries. My father never lets me lay a finger on anything that could potentially ruin his vision of what his daughter should be," an innocent look is spread across her face as she says so.
"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that Eclair." Yamaguchi makes a sweet comment, ignorant that she was guilt-tripping. I'd never pictured her to be such a manipulative girl yet calm and poised at once.
She nods, continuing to eat her food.
Though it was her fault entirely, Eclair was saddened that what was supposed to be an enjoying dinner turned out to be silent and awkward. I was growing extremely tired of her passive-aggressive attitude towards me, but losing sight of why I came to this training camp was not an option. I don't care how badly Eclair could hurt my feelings, I won't let it get to me.

Henrose - Grow As We Go by Ben Platt
I don't know who we'll become I can't promise it's not written in the stars But I believe that when it's done We're gonna see that it was better That we grew up together
Tell me you don't wanna leave 'Cause if change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow We'll take it slow And grow as we go
I have said it before and I will say it again, this song has Henrose vibes. It is about someone who wants to take time away from the singer to 'find themselves' or just work on themselves internally. And the singer is like nooo we can both just grow as people together, fuck whoever said you had to do that alone! And I just think that's sweet :))

Aquire - 1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back by Olivia Rodrigo
Called you on the phone today Just to ask you how you were All I did was speak normally Somehow I still struck a nerve
You got me fucked up in the head, boy Never doubted myself so much Like, am I pretty? Am I fun, boy? I hate that I give you power over that kind of stuff
'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back
Briar and Aquata have a very will they/won't they relationship imo. One will be nice and then the other will be sassy about it, leaving both doubting why they even bother. Then it's like ok, making progress... and then someone gets defensive and it's back to square one. I think Briar likes the game though. It would be boring if it wasn't somewhat frustrating to get to know her.

Phinette - Best Friend by Rex Orange County
Oh, I still wanna be your favorite boy I wanna be the one that makes your day The one you think about as you lie awake And I can't wait to be your number, your number one I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry
This is a very Laurette take on love. She will thirst for anyone who gives her attention tbh and she wants all of the highs and lows that come with it. In the song, the singer is like obsessing over their friend who doesn't feel the same and right now that's how she feels. So she will just stick to fantasizing about being someone's favorite person even with her ups and downs.

Annie & Tallulah - Don't Wanna Know by Bo Burnham
Do I have your attention? Yes or no? I bet I'd guess the answer but I don't wanna know Am I all in the background? Are you on your phone? I'd ask you what you're watching but I don't wanna know
I think this is really funny for multiple reasons. 1. Bo Burnham destroying my Spotify Wrapped. 2. Tallulah loves attention and Annie is her employee so she is REQUIRED to give it. So I imagine this in like a Michael Scott as your boss kind of lens. Like... did you see that? Are you paying attention to me? Never mind, I don't wanna know.
