#like it’s either ‘I know what you are 👀’ or ‘not all soulmates are romantic some are platonic’ 💯💯💯

[actualnymph]

I looooove the “they swore a bond of brotherhood” & “they were sworn sisters” type of trope sm. Either it’s some v gay shit going on or it’s an incredibly strong soulmate level type of friendship. Or both. Fantastic!

[winterchimez]

MOOT GAME: " make up a trope for your moots and their biases. doesn’t need to be romantic. can be crackfic/funny. ^ㅇ(๑>◡<๑)ㅇ^ "

hi anon-ie!! yayyyy ok this is so fun imma just *rubs hands* cook up some scenarios 😋 (tagging the ones i talk to on a daily basis!! 💗)

@sungbeam acedemic rivals - theres something about you just being rivals with changmin and it gets on your nerve whenever he outperforms you but then all that bickering slowly turn into romance and thats something i will be watching from afar with my popcorn.

@from-izzy strangers to lovers - you and hyunjae (as much as i wanna mention the other guy but i won't bcs im trying to be nice 🥰) would meet as strangers on your first day of uni orientation, seemingly also ends up as deskmate in class and boom hes the goofy funny guy, always trying to get you involve in activities when you're just shy and reluctant and then the both of you start falling for each other

@daisyvisions best friends to lovers - we all know how much you love this, esp with hyunjae when yall be doing things that are pretty much obvious that's more than just friends ��� so by the time yall end up together its more of a meh we've already done this before but then it gets awkward cs you're both now labelled as bf/gf

@aimeecarreros / @momhwa-agenda enemies to lovers - bcs of what you told me yesterday....but juyeon who's always teasing and bullying you...but then it's bcs he actually likes you sm but bcs of his ego he refuses to believe nor accept reality...but then it eventually hits him and hes confronted by you with a revenge dress and he goes oh. 😌

@snowflakewhispers mutual pining - realistically you and jacob would be having feelings for each other but then you both have your doubts (even though you don't look like it when you have beef with me everyday 🙄 HOWEVER it'll be cute but then the rest of us at the side will be all frustrated (aka me, daisy, elena) be like HE ALSO LIKES YOU BACK WTF but you're just "IDK MAN I DONT THINK HE WOULD"

@kimsohn unrequited love (but with a happy ending) - sunwoo's been head over heels over you since day one but you're always just ignoring his advnaces be like "this dude is hella weird", this goes on until one day you eventually see the other side of him, he makes you blush and he gets a high and giddy be like "okay confirmed maya likes me now i've won in life"

@justalildumpling rich kid au - ok i know it sounds cliché but hear me out!! na jaemin aka the rich boy from uni and he gets all the girls and naturally you fall for him too cs hell hes a fine-looking man but then maybe one day you are forced to live with him and thats when you see his true colours which makes you go ew, but then bcs of your personality you'll be like "i will change this man" (which you do) and he realises that you're not like the other girls out there

@ethereal-engene coffeshop au - you just give me calm sunshine vibes so!! you and woozi in the coffee shop, woozi as the barista (WHEW WITH A WHITE SHIRT- 😮‍💨) either you both work tgt as coworkers and eventually become a couple, or you would often visit the store not just for the good coffee but also for the good looking barista 👀

@drunkdrazed childhood friends to lovers - you're literally the sweetest human being so it would only be appropriate for this trope!! either with ten / jacob, you would fit so well 🥺 love the way how yall know literally anything abt each other and when yall reach uni / work and thats when you both realised that you're falling for one another instead 🫶

@h0mebody-heaven soulmate au - you're so funny and another ball of energy!! i can't imagine a better soulmate for hendery than you! lmao i can imagine all the chaos, the jokes that you both are gonna pull, probably asks you to film plenty of questionable tiktoks but then you oblige bcs YOLO 🤭

@strayed-quokka established relationship - do i need to say more, husband sangyeon and you're the housewife. you can replay that scenario in your mind.

@sanaxo-o arranged marriage - chanhee the rich son of dior's ceo ✨ but imagined getting pampered by him??? what a life it'll be 😮‍💨

Secret f/o's 👀 I cast upon thee, talk about 🌌

Does your F/O believe in astrology? Bonus: what does your astrology compatibility say about you and your F/Os signs?

Do you or your F/O believe in love at first sight? Do you believe in soulmates?

What’s an often overlooked or unknown trait about your F/O that you adore? What’s your special trait that they love?

How sentimental is your F/O? Do they keep every little gift you give them? Do they carry your picture around with them?

Does your F/O feel safe you be vulnerable around you? Do you feel comfortable doing the same around them?

What would the ideal dream date be for you? What would be your F/O’s ideal dream date?

What relationship tropes would you say best describe your relationship with your F/O?

I know it's a lot of questions from the ask game, so if you want to skip some of them, I totally understand 😅

oKAY let's do it!!! *kicks up my legs and gets comfy* My relationship with this f/o is a quirky one that involves nonsexual bdsm so consider it M-rated (16+), I guess! I only get into that under the 'readmore' though because this is a LONG answer thank you anon I adore you <3 <3

(ask game: i'm answering questions about my secret f/os and my slasher kiddos right now!!)

4. I guess I was inviting this question with the emoji I chose! A version of astrology is kind of baked into the in-universe magic system, so it's not really a matter of whether we believe in it? I don't think he has a canon birthday, but I'm assigning him Aquarius on aesthetic vibes. I don't do astrology so lemme do a quick google on that... "With Libra and Aquarius, you'll find a strong connection in friendship and love, and likely good sexual compatibility — though it may take some time to develop. Communication is one area where this duo can break down a little, and they may have to work harder than other couples to really make things stick."

I mean, that's not false!

38. He definitely does believe in love at first sight, he's.... an incurable romantic, it's one of the things I tease him about. I don't, I think that love is a lot of work and commitment that doesn't happen all at once. I don't think that either of us believe in soulmates, though. The world is too complicated for something like that.

11. An overlooked trait that I love about him... is that it's very hard to get him out of performance mode. He's always trying to project one character or another, and I think that it's easy to take him at face value, because he's flashy and impulsive and it's hard to pick apart where exactly the performance stops reflecting his reality. If that makes any sense at all. I love that my job is to break down that performance.

As for a trait he loves about me... I think it would probably be my attentiveness. I've got a good sense of when his mood shifts, but even more importantly I have a good sense of the people around us. It's not quite one of his skills, reading the room (an understatement), so we make a good team on that front.

27. On a scale of 1-10, he's an 11 on the sentimental scale. He struggles with getting rid of presents from people he's fallen out with. We're not a romantic relationship, so we don't have photos of each other, but he definitely keeps things that I give him. Once our relationship went from professional to friendship, he did give me some earrings with sentimental meaning and also some protection magic, and I wear those very often! I think I'm a healthy 6 or 7 on the sentimental scale.

34. The type of our relationship kind of demands that we have to be comfortable being vulnerable around each other! That said, from the start we have a lot of systems in place to protect both of us. As the relationship progresses, those systems start to fall away and get replaced by trust and experience.

15. What are our dream dates? Oh BOY, well. I think that's something that's definitely developed over the relationship. We've been trying to get a trio scene to work with his other partner for the last while, but the dynamics have made it difficult. I think his dream day would probably be something with the three of us, if we can get our shit figured out.

As for my dream day... I'd like a little coffee date where we catch up as friends and I can hear all the hot gossip, and then we go back to his house and do an age play scene where I get to be devastatingly considerate and he cries about it. That's the satisfying scenes for me, and it takes the most trust from him.

40. We're a relationship that it's hard to define by tropes, because it's not a very traditional one. We're not romantic but we're not quite platonic. We're nonsexual but that doesn't mean that sexuality doesn't play a role in our relationship. I feel like there are still tropes that are relevant to us but I can't put my finger on them when I try. Something about class travelling (highblood finds escape in lowblood circles), something about two damaged people with compatible coping strategies (one who needs control, one who likes to give it up).

[dulcewrites]

Rip to the Targaryen kids back at kingslanding they don’t know what to do without their emotional support milf 😔. I’m glad that Aemond is miserable without her around. There’s something so funny about Aegon laying on that balcony all day and don’t worry Helaena I don’t blame you for not telling anyone about your vision and setting reader up with Aemond.

When Rhaenrya was like surely you’ve heard of me from Aemond and the reader response is no he doesn’t mention you at all 💀. The whole dinner scene was funny 😭. Also is Jace forming a crush on reader 👀. Look all I’m saying is that if the reader did marry Jace she’d be in a happy marriage and not stuck with her current situation, but where’s the fun in that 🙏🏽.

Also go Daella for claiming Vermithor. I can’t blame the reader for being around Daella when she hangs around Daemon, I wouldn’t leave my kid unsupervised around him either 😭. I feel bad that Alaric doesn’t feel comfortable around dragonstone but can’t blame him that places creepy and he’s only a few months old an babies don’t take to new environments well.

I know the readers having fun knowing that she scares Luke 😭. Shit I would to if I was in her place💀.

Everyone on dragstone: “Luke she’s not scary and is as harmless as a kitten”

Luke:

Emotional support milf is exactly what she is that’s so funny 😭😭😭. Also poor hel bc she probably stirs so clear of any of that political stuff, and the one time she actually involves herself bc she wants something for herself… it ends up like this. Life is cruel

As for Jace, he’s a young guy so I think he just likes having a pretty girl around lol. Reader’s best attribute in terms of out smarting people is doing the whole batting the eyelashes, damsel in distress thing. It’s like catnip for someone like jace, who hasn’t been around a lot of girls that aren’t his family plus taking the whole chivalrous thing seriously

I personally read the Baela/jace/rhaena/luke sitation as all of them loving each other but maybe not in that way (at least in the show it will be slightly different in fmo). Baela and jace could maybeeeee get to the point of loving each other romantically but rhaena and Luke are sure platonic besties. The whole reader x jace thing is funny bc let’s say her parents put the bastardphobia aside to let that happen. I almost feel like she’d still be paranoid bc her husband is clearly a bastard and what would that trickle affect mean if they have kids. Though they probably have a better chance of having a loving relationship

But it also makes me sad bc it just reinforces that in another dimension, reader and Aemond honestly could’ve given platonic soulmates like laenor and Rhaenyra (minus the messy ending lol)

Alaric being born into the most chaotic point of his parents’ lives is 💀💀💀💀. He’s truly been going through it since birth

Luke letting a dragonless girl punk him is crazy. The whole overly nice thing makes him want to die tbh

Munday Meme

2, 6, 7, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 18

— 2. Who are your longest rp friends? in 2008 i joined bulbagarden (forum from the pokemon wiki bulbapedia) and met a guy who also rped and had similar irl interests. i joined an rp forum with that guy in 2010, was in and out until he left in 2014 and we kept in contact. didn't rp after that, but we are absolutely still friends to this day and send each other pokemon things, talk about current fandoms, etc. probably my 2nd oldest friend i keep up with in general, tbh.

— 6. NOTP for your muse? tyl!byakuran/anyone LOL. in all seriousness, i really can't wrap my head around byakuran/uni in any romantic/nsfw sense… like even besides the massive age/experience gap from before, i only see them as emotionally close in a platonic sense?

i still enjoy poly tsuna/uni/byakuran from the trinisette trio flavor, but that's also kind of conditional and if tsuna wasn't there i don't think i can see it. imo, just not a dynamic that would exist without tsuna there, if that makes sense.

in other news, shoichi/byakuran isn't a NOTP so much as i'm just really tired of him being the Only one i see people ship with byakuran. they're just so much more fun as best friends? platonic soulmates? partners in crime? balance each other out, etc.

hmm. maybe i just struggle shipping with characters that knew him really well in TYL. funeral wreaths are a struggle too. a current!genkishi would be super difficult to make work but i did have an idea a long while back. BUT WAIT. gamma or spanner 👀

— 7. What are some similarities between you and your muse/muses? i am super weird too. independent. we both have terrible diets. i will eat 3 muffins in one day instead of lunch/dinner if i have them in my room. most obviously, adhd.

— 12. What’s one random headcanon about your muse that people mightn’t know? (at the end/under the cut)

— 14. What do you look for in a rp partner? for longer plots/threads/verses? i love people who can generally match my enthusiasm or come up with ideas or has enough time to talk about it here and there. also love it when partners can take a bit of initiative in keeping it going too.

for just small threads? anyone who reaches out, really. i like almost everyone lmao, rping is included.

— 16. Least favourite trope? i don't know if it counts as a trope but i just don't really like seeing how many people only focus on him in a very dominant role in ships? it's just preference. there is nothing wrong with it and it makes sense for TYL byakuran anyway, but it's a least favorite for sure. (it's in part because it's the only way i ever see in fanart. i am Tired just thinking about it.)

— 17. Are there any AU’s you’d like to explore but haven’t had the chance to yet? i have a specific immortal!byakuran fantasy au that i want to use as a verse someday but not sure if i'll have the chance tbh. might have talked about it before?

the tl;dr is he became a pseudo-deity with six others but was kicked out of the makeshift-pantheon a long time ago. he was stuck with his immortality/power and was left to wander the world like that.

— 18. Do you listen to music whilst writing? If so, what kind of music? i can only listen to music while writing if i loop one song and know exactly how it goes. usually it just ends up being either a song for the atmosphere or a song i'm currently addicted to. picking music gets distracting tbh.

moved 12 since it mentions nsfw. it's under the cut.

— 12. What’s one random headcanon about your muse that people mightn’t know? on account of not doing nsfw, i don't really mention it lol. i do have gray-asexual on there for this interpretation, but the ace part is really apparent. there is that he had more than enough abuse of that variety. now he just doesn't care, doesn't see a point, nonexistent drive. if i did any nsfw it would be focused on the partner bc i'm sure he'd remember how to Do Things like that from all those different lives.

the gray part is that i think he would try if thats what a partner wanted? i think he'd be okay if he trusts/loves someone enough (demiromantic) but probably not often.

would also like to mention you don't see me doing any nsfw on this blog because he is only 15 and 18 in the two main verses. that speaks for itself, i hope? i guess post-canon 10YL or college-age verse or something might work, but still not on tumblr.

[manglechan1204]

Oh hell yeah I want to talk about it !!! You will soon recieve a notif :3

Ok so for the answers, it’s also gonna be long xD

I’m what you will call a newbie or fandom baby, cause I’m here since, I would say august 2022 ? I’m a little clown who always get on things after they reached their apotheosis 🤡. So I was in a phase where I didn’t really have any fandom going on and was looking for something easy to consume which would give me big serotonin shot, sooo I just clicked on ranboo doing enderman thingy compilation’s ( cause nothing make me more happy than minecraft worldbuilding AND hybrid stuff. And according to the dsmp fandom they are all hybrid. And they are right. ). And from that I started watched Sbi compilation, then lore sum up, Sadist animatic. At some point I was like fuck it I’m gonna watch the whole adventure from the beggining and I did. Here an image of me loosing it because it took me months

Favorite characters are Badboyhalo, Captainpuffy, Technoblade, Karl jacobs, Awesamdude … Quackity ..…HannahRose, ITS SO HARD TO CHOOSE! Like I have more character that I really like than character that I feel just okay about them

And so I’m a huge sucker for happyduo, SBI ( Really discovered how fond of found family dynamics I was with these two ) First time I’m hearing about Sheep sibling but I’m very interested to know more 👀, Bedrock bros: that’s the sibling dynamic I want to see ! The fiancés obviously … It’s hard to not mix the canon and the fanon with those !

Regarding shipping obviously Happyduo/ Skephalo : platonic ? Romantic ? Idc they are soulmates either way ( this ship has such an hold on me..). As you know Puffychu, but I also really like Puffy x Hannah 👉👈 ( I don’t even know their ship name ��) just because I really like Hannah too and I think they would go well together ! But there is also this great artist who is selling me very well the Hannah x Tina. AND THE FIANCÉS ! Omg Karlnapity my beloved, there is so much good stuff going on btw these 3 like fnfkldkf

I don’t know if it’s an arc but when Tommy was living with Techno, Pogtopia and the mid of the eggpire…also Sambucket …

But as I’ve said, I would read about nearly any character ! They are all so cool !!

Okay I have some serious buisness question regarding your coming out as a DSMP Enthusiast !

How did this happen ?

Who's your favorite characters and favorite "group" ( like happyduo, emeraldduo, SBI ect .. ) ?

If any, your favorite ships ?

Annndddd your favorite arc :D

( If you respond to all of that you can't hide from the dsmp fan allegation anymore, I'm sorry )

Ooh boy, I’m putting my answers under the read more because this is going to be a long one 😭/lh

You and your future spouses sex life💞👻

Hi loves! first post from brutally tarot witch.All my PAC will be an honest opinion of what my cards are saying.If you don’t resonate with the reading,you can pick another pile💞Anyways today‘s reading is about…Drum roll.

You and your future spouses sex life💞👻

Warning 18+ only!!!

There are three piles to choose from so choose carefully and intuitively ♥️

Pile 1 🤤👀🕊

So loves this is for pile 1! based on the cards tbh I see a lot of selfishness.I don’t see it coming from your partner though..I see you being a bit selfish and authorative.Basically what I am seeing here is that you get what you want.You dont give two crap about sexism,you believe that you should be worshiped in bed and pleased with multiple orgasms.So the best part is I see your husband/wife/Gf/bf/fling is such a giver!! omg he/she is soo sweet.They would give up on their pleasure for you like omg they get off on satifying you!!! thats wonderful.But tbh a lil advice they do like when get down in your knees for them.Lyk they see you as this powerful person and you getting down for them is their wild fantasy.They also may have a humiliation or verbal abuse kink 👀.Have fun guys.They do love you though.Awe🥺

Pile 2💀⛓♥️

Soo kinky people picked this pile,I know that smirk.You guys are kinky! so is your partner! Either one of is the dominant in bed for sure.But based on the cards I got I can see the emperor denoting that the male is the dominant one,you guys might be this bold ,fierce, feminst selfs in the outer world but you do like to be spanked,chocked and fucked sooo hard.Even if its a lgbtq relationship I do see that your partner is the dominant one here..you like to be treated like a rag doll.Your FS though will be a vanilla master/dominatrix.Lyk they will dominate you but still they dont wanna hurt you in anyway they want to protect you (Awww 💞🥺).They would have this praise kink,they will praise you as they dominate you saying stuff like good girl,good princess.Argg fifty shades of grey vibes Yall! Anyways this was soo cute and sexy at the same time,one lucky pile😚

Pile 3

Soo my dearest hopeless romantics..I do see all the hopeless romantics pick this pile and you know what? you guys are seriously soo cute! believing in true love and romance is such a sign of purity! Anywhoo your sex life is soo romantic,candle light sex,fucking under the moonlight,satisfying each other! taking care after sex! omg!! so fucking cute🥰 So you guys will have an irresistible urge to make love all the time! you guys are like these magnets ,inseperable.You will have rough sessions too but there will be a profound amount of passion ya know ,sex is like a soul connection for you and your soulmate bruh.Which is soo pure 🥺.You guys will be soo loyal to each other and might even end up getting married in the future if you are into that!!!omg so adorable!!😫

Anyways let me know of what other PAC‘s you guys would like in the future do support me if you like my content Y’all👻💞

[lolhowsway]

The ☕️ on your next lover

Disclaimer: Please understand this is a general reading and is used for entertainment purposes only. By all means, use your intuition and take what resonates. I will also try to make this reading as gender neutral as possible. This is a 3 pile reading. Enjoy🥴

Pile 1: 🌟

First off, I’m getting that your next mate may be very responsible. At first, they may come off as reserved and ambitious and maybe even serious. They are very stable people and may even be career oriented. Over time, you will realize how warm, kind and generous they really are. They could be empathic and easy to be yourself around. I’m getting they could be goofy and fun, someone who knows how to work and play. They are a mix of logic and emotion. This person is also honest and mature. This could be someone you already know. (Doesn’t have to be, take what resonates). They may be physically fit and have either light or dark hair. (Could have dyed it as well) and a prominent nose. For occupation, this person may be a YouTuber (on either a small or large scale) or an artist. I also got medical field which is a large range of positions. I pulled “Saturn element” and Capricorn rising so that confirmed what I said earlier on them being responsible.

More hints: “I still think of you”. Very sexual. Quality time and gift giving as love language.

Pile 2: 😈

This person will be a bit of an ambivert. They are both social and withdrawn. I think they may have a decent size friend group but also may need alone time as well. I’m getting they are pretty non confrontational in nature and generally loves peace. Despite them being social, they may have anxiety and may come off as indecisive. They are also creative and artistic. This will be a person to enjoy any form of art. They are romantic and may even surprise you with creative dates and ideas. You will like this persons charismatic side. They can be quite the charmer. For the physical appearance, they may be on the thicker side or just muscular thick. This person may be bi racial or foreign. You will also notice they have nice hands. If you’re a smoker you’re gonna love the that they may be a stoner😶‍🌫️. This may also calm this persons anxiety and get quite a release from it. You may meet them online, that could be through social media, gaming, dating apps, online forums etc.

More hints: You could meet this person in 3-5 days, months weeks or even years. Or maybe you guys are 3-5 years apart. Possible zodiac signs would be air signs or Pisces. “I love you” and “soulmates” popped out, love that for you! This person is also financially stable.

Pile 3:👀

I’m getting 2 different scenarios. Remember take what resonates. For some of you, this is an ex of some sort. You may have a history with them, you guys have been through a lot and they still think of you. This could be someone you shared a bond with but something happened. I’m getting they cheated on you in the past. This person at this time, may be entertaining someone else and is thinking of reaching out to you to mend things. Some of you will take this ex back and give it another chance. Whew, use your discernment though.

The other scenario is that you may run into someone who has been through a lot in relationships. They may be sick of cheaters or sick and tired of people wasting their time. They could have trust issues and be guarded at the time you meet. They also may have just left a bad break up or marriage. They may be a wise soul and could be great at advice, also a mentor. They will be overall be a friendly person but it may take time to build the connection. This person may have dimples.

More hints: May meet them at work, or randomly. Religious. Thick eyebrows. Capricorn or Aquarius elements. Average build. Foreign.

Hope you enjoyed this reading❤️

— enhypen as cliche romantic tropes

paring: enhypen x female reader

genre and rating: g, fluff

warnings: none! just a whole lot of fluff :)))

hi loves! i hope you guys are okay with all the reactions i’ve been posting! i really enjoy writing these! but not to worry, i have a heeseung fic in the making that should be out soon 👀 i really like how this turned out, so im hoping you guys do too! let me know what you all think, i always love hearing feedback from you guys <3

reaction below the cut <3

— heeseung as strangers to lovers

i saw this one and immediately thought of heeseung. you two would have had no clue the other existed, until you randomly bumped into him one day. he was on his phone trying to talk to jay about something and wasn’t watching where he was going. he looked up to apologize and froze at the sight of you standing in front of him. he was even dumb enough not to get your number or even your name. he was just waiting for the next time he bumped into you, and thankfully, that was soon. he wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip past him this time.

— jay as workplace romance

it wasn’t a crazy job that the two of you would meet at. it was actually a smaller office job that the two of you worked at, in which your cubicles were right next to one another. your boss had asked you and jay to work together on a project, and the two of you meshed together really well. the project was done quickly and efficiently, your boss being quite impressed. from then on, you and jay only grew closer, your feelings for one another growing rapidly. sneaking glances at each other in the break room, small smiles every time one of them would begin to ramble. it didn’t take long for jay to make his move, and you were beyond glad that he did.

— jake as forbidden love

this one is probably the most cliché of them all, but it’s just so jake to me. your families had been enemies for generations. no one on either side even looked at the someone from your family. but when you and jake ran into each other in the garden in the center of town, it was over. before you knew it, you two were sneaking out of your homes, just so you could see each other. you knew you and jake could never be together, but the more time you spent with him, the more you were willing to risk. jake was worth all of the possible outcomes, the good and the bad.

— sunghoon as first love

you and sunghoon met each other in middle school. you were in the same math class, and the teacher happened to sit you two next to each other. the both of you were never very good at it, so you were always at after school tutoring together. the both of you grew quite close in a short amount of time, feelings beginning to blossom. but when high school came around, the inevitable happened. you two drifted apart, dated other people, and graduated. but everything changed when you ran into him at a local coffee shop. it was like you two never stopped talking, and you both realized that the feelings you had never went away. he was your first love, and hopefully, your last.

— sunoo as best friends brother

you and your best friend have known each other for a very long time. your parents were best friends, so you two had known each other practically since the womb. growing up, you always had a small crush on sunoo, but you never said anything. you were terrified to mess up the relationship you had with your best friend. however, she knew you better than that. she saw the way you looked at sunoo, so she decided to play wingman. after she mentioned everything to her brother, he was a lot more talkative with you, eventually telling you how he felt. you really did have the best friend on the planet, and now, the best boyfriend.

— jungwon as soulmates

the second jungwon showed you that little shape on his wrist that matched yours, you knew you two were meant to be. i mean, that’s the whole point of a soulmate mark, right? you and him had always been close, and you refused to show him your mark until he showed you his. you pulled down your sleeve, revealing the matching mark, his jaw dropping when he made the realization. you and jungwon were fated to be together. written in the stars. and you two were most definitely not complaining.

— niki as hallway crush

you first noticed niki on the first day of school. you were walking to your second period when you walked past him, having to do a double take to make sure you saw what you thought you did. his visuals were on a whole different level, and you ended up seeing him multiple times throughout the day. it eventually got to the point where you would actually look forward to going to school, simply because you got to see niki everyday. one specific day however, you were walking with your friend when you passed by niki. she shoved you into him, hoping that it would get you two to begin to talking. you apologized profusely, him simply laughing at your reaction. from then on, you and him talked quite often, your feelings for him only growing. little did you know that you were his hallway crush too.

[terrence-silver]

You gave me the go ahead so let's gooooo!! So just after the last scene in the movie , Jack leaves the city ,already getting his identity changed and stuff. He starts working as an assassin for another person and soon finds out that Erica died a few weeks after the incident that took place. Whilst on a killing spree , he catches beloved watching him murder someone. He goes after her and holds her captive . She's afraid of him and doesn't want to even be near him. How would Jack make her his. What would he do if the person he is working for finds out that he saved a witness which was totally not part of the deal. He learnt from his mistakes when things went wrong with Erica, but beloved is different, she's a contrast to Erica in some ways, though she is stubborn like her. She's tan skinned and she was just a simple girl who loves to laugh and be with her friends, she just happened to stumble upon a murder scene on her way home from a party ....👀😭sorry this is so long my brain is a wreck for tig! Thank you

I think Jack believes in destined soulmates recognizing each other.

Lovers from past lives ---- he even says so himself, to Erika.

Considering how gruesome he is, he is something of a spiritualist and a romantic.

He supposes it is no accident beloved has stumbled upon his crime scene. It was meant to be, in a way. The reason why things failed with Erika make sense now in ways they perhaps haven't to him before --- because the thing with Erica wasn't the thing and the failure of that connection could've only made Jack more jaded --- darker somehow. He knows beloved, he feels, even though this the first time they've ever met under the worst of circumstances, no less. As such, he rationalizes the reason for sparing her instead of immediately killing her and getting rid of a witness to tie all lose ends is not without reason either, even though he knows it would have been prudent. He hesitated. He hesitates because this is his person. He holds her captive because this is no accident. Beloved belongs to him. He would be very clear about that and he would vocalize it to beloved. Beloved's life is his and he wants something in return and that's beloved's heart --- either figuratively or literally and that's up to beloved to decide. And make no mistake, Jack would be entirely willing to have beloved alive by his side, kill her and have her in eternity and await another life to be reunited with her in a better situation (and live as a man and woman should live), he's willing to maintain keeping her prisoner (and hopefully Stockholm Syndrome her into loving him back), start a new life with her under his changed identity (something he does frequently) --- basically, no outcome is something he would fret over because he's morbid, he's bloodthirsty, he has an innate belief system, he has an inherent fascination with death (that verges on fetishization) he's dark, and unhinged, and he's the type to have beloved dead or alive and beloved can be with him dead or alive too. Beloved can stay with him, with new aliases and travel the world while he takes and completes his killing contracts or beloved can be an immaculately maintained and preserved corpse he tends to and treats like one treats the living.

The choice is beloved's.

Not a super original one, but: I know a lot of people headcanon that those in Last Life are the exact same from 3rd Life and Hermitcraft, and often that they remember everything too. I've always imagined that, although they are the same people, they're all alternate universes. They're the same people, but everything that's led to the point of their respective stories is very, very different.

It's what makes sense to me when it comes to stuff like why they wouldn't hesitate to kill each other, and that there are, for example, people from Hermitcraft who would be missing from Last Life.

All three stories happening in the same universe is great for angst, but I also really like the potential you have with concepts like certain people who keep gravitating towards each other. Something about "soulmates" perhaps but less romantically and more just generally someone you feel fits you perfectly no matter the dynamic.

I also have an idea for a headcanon about why 3rd Lifers would have only three lives, and that Last Lifers can gain and lose all they like, but it would just be something along the lines of "magic fuckery" or "something otherworldly cursed them"

god that kind of soulmate stuff is my WEAKNESS. i don't know a term for it either when ur explicitly referring to platonic stuff but yeah that idea of people being drawn to each other across universes and finding each other in every single one. oh man that gets to me. little things like scott saying he was going to kill jimmy but then jimmy gave him a potato and for some reason he just couldn't. grian falling naturally into the habit of being scar's bodyguard, for no discernible reason. martyn being derisive towards ren publicly but when he needs a secret alliance it's ren that he's drawn to without hesitation. bdubs saying he feels like they're "home" when he's with cleo on red. it reeeeally gets to me that shit makes me cry so much

i'd love to hear some expansion on the life system thing too 👀 cause i've always had the hc of the server, the universe itself even, basically just going. ok. 3rd life wasn't bad enough clearly. and nobody can exactly comprehend the machinations of the universe but it sure feels like a punishment to the players. they just don't know what they're being punished for. maybe there isn't even a reason, maybe the universe is just cruel

[astroismypassion]

Hey there, I love your blog 😍 your observations are always accurate so I wanted to ask what you thought about this synastry between myself & the person I have an eye for 👀 we both have each other’s Venus in the 8th house & Jupiter in the 10th house. My moon is in his 7th house & his moon is in my 4th house.

My placements are: Pisces Sun, Sag moon, Cap rising, Pisces mars & Capricorn Venus

His placements: Cancer sun, Taurus moon, Gemini rising, Gemini Mars & Leo Venus.

Thank you 😊 🙏🏽✨💞

Hey!

Thank you so much, it's really encouraging to read this, because it gives me motivation to keep running this blog lol. Some days it's very similar to screaming into the void lol.

Yeahh, I love spicy synastry questions like that, nothing is more heartwarming than a fresh crush (lol @ my ruler of the 10th house in the 5th house, love a good romance)

Yeah, soo... first of all, very nice, you found yourself a Cancer! I'm a big fan of them on this blog which has not been a secret. I'm two past crushes were Cancer, but as a Taurus Sun, I'm still an Earth sign, so sometimes there's lack of understanding, but with you being a Water sign, this is great! I find it compliments your Pisces Sun even better. Water with water is great understanding and acceptance!

This person is very stable, however, he lives for drama! Sometimes he gets sucked into it, other times he starts it! I'm glad that he has Taurus Moon. I also find it nice that you have Capricorn Venus and he's Leo Venus. Now, you would THINK that these two don't mix well, however they are both demanding, loyal, want attention and value commitment. I'm only worried because of his Gemini Rising and Gemini Mars. This person WILL make changes for the sake of making them. I advise you to get more information about his previous romantic partners/affairs, because this will tell you a lot. Cancers never forget the FIRST heartbreak since it sets them off for next relationships. With Gemini energy here, it can really go two ways: either he gets bored quickly, has multiple crushes OR he really fallen in love once deeply and has now troubles and trust issues with every new person. With Gemini personal planets it really like that, either they fall in love once deeply and are very hurt by it or just date more casually and want constant simulation in form of new friends, acquintances, people online, chatting with people online, new crushes. So I warn you as you are Cap Venus (and Cap Rising!) and I know that you probably really value loyalty and single long term commited relationships.

With Venus in the 8th house there is some subtle intimidation going on, however with such nice Moon overlays it's rather cosy and it feels like home. This person might be a soulmate or someone beneficial, however make sure with whom he's talking online. Beware, because he might have a lot of "friends" and they are all regarded as "friends" in his eyes, but those same friends might not feel the same and could be much more than just friends. Don't feel ashamed, awkward or too shy to ask in a straight forward manner if this person is seeing, dating someone or even talking to someone. You might save yourself time, care and effort just knowing that. Since you also have Pisces Mars and Pisces Sun natally, which indicates that your men might not always be as honest and might have other liasions.

all of pre-relationship for kame/estinien 👀👀💖

thank you sm leah ily !!! 💗💗💗💗

How did they first meet?

because i have the dragoon quests canon for kame, the way they meet is pretty much just the same as it is in the game wheres she's sent to find the thief of the eye of nidhogg only to find out he's the one who took it,,

What was their first impression of each other?

their first impressions of each other were not the best skdfksfksdkf ,,,, considering their first meeting is basically just estinien jumping off a cliff, insulting her and then jumping away, i think kame is mainly just confused and estinien is like 'why the hell did the eye choose this random person'

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

im kind of on the fence of who i want to have know about kame and estiniens feelings for each other ,, on one hand i think it'd be cute to have alphinaud and alberic be really supportive of the two of them and want them to get together,, on the other hand i think itd be kinda funny if no one even knew kame and estinien had feelings for each other until they become a couple because of how reserved the two of them are

Who felt romantic feelings first?

definitely estinien. i have a specific moment in mind where estinien starts realising that he cares for kame and its during heavansward when kame, estinien, alphinaud and ysayle are on their lil roadtrip, and estinien ends up making kame laugh during one of the times he teases alphinaud and hes just like oh. its take kame a lot longer to figure out her feelings for estinien, mainly because shes never had romantic feelings for someone (sorry jacke) so at first she doesnt even know whats she's feeling and it isnt until the post-heavansward quests that she starts figuring it out

Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

kame all the way. once she figures out what her feelings actually are she immediately tries to shut them out. i guess you could say she's kind of scared of her feelings and because she is so used to giving her all of her time and effort to other people and kind of feels like she has to, it makes her feel like it would be selfish of her to focus on herself and her relationship with estinien and i think estinien wouldn't exactly resist his feelings, but because of him being like that in heavansward, he would definitly just try to ignore them and wouldn't act on them at all

If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

pre-figuring out their feelings, they would both be very confused sdkfksdfk ,,, post-figuring out their feelings kame would be very hesitant hearing that and its kinda hard to say how estinien would react

What would their lives be like if they had never met?

its kind of hard to say what their lives would considering how important they are to each other, in terms of the games quests ,,, cause like, you could say that estinien would still be possessed by nidhogg if not for kame but then you think would he even have gotten possessed by nidhogg if he hadnt met kame cause shes the one that gets the second eye so yeah,, im not really sure how to answer this one lol

Send me ship questions.

hyunseul relationship prompt with @writtenbykiwi

PRE-RELATIONSHIP

How did they first meet?

k: they met at her plant shop? during one of hyun's time loops, he decided to buy a plant as an experiment. to see if it would stay even after he dies. it was seul's shop?

l: since she time travels, maybe their first meeting for her could have been under a different setting at a different time? 👀 she could have met future hyun and the moment she meets him during his time loop, she instantly knows who he is (but doesn’t expect that he’ll be stuck in a time loop) 

What was their first impression of each other?

k: hyun finally found a friendly face. he had been so stressed and frustrated by his situation, and the bustling city offered him no kindness. since he grew up in the islands, the contrast was becoming more and more stark during this time. meeting seul, who spoke with tenderness and treated him in goodwill, made him want to see her again. 

l: she doesn’t think she’s conversed with anyone more interesting. he has a way of speaking that she finds endearing and since she’s naturally a curious soul, she gravitates towards him instantly. being the good listener that she is, she’d hear out his thoughts and be as attentive as she could be. 

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

k: hyun's parents were overjoyed. he was a recluse all his life that they've lost hope in him settling for a family of his own. he was very odd even as a child so growing up, he didn't have many friends. he would get picked on too. not necessarily bullied, because he knew how to stand up for himself, but they would tease him for the unusual way that he spoke.

l: the only family member she’d have that’s still alive is her 70 something year odl daughter and she’d be wary and skeptical. more than anything i think her daughter is just trying to be protective over seul because hyun will age and seul wont and that means hyun will eventually leave her - this will upset seul but will eventually come to the conclusion that for once, she wants to do something completely selfish and for herself.  

Who felt romantic feelings first?

k: hyun, definitely. it was almost love at first sight.

l: agreed. if we go through with the idea of seul meeting a future version of hyun, i do think she’d find him attractive or maybe feel a certain something towards him? there’s just a pull there, though she wont think too much of it because past seul will probably be too guarded and skeptical.

Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

k: hyun did at first, because he knew it was very temporary considering his situation. after a while, when he realized she would forget him every time he came back, he just let his feelings unfold and relished in the fact that he could continuously see her.

l: seul would as well, only because she’d feel like she’s protecting not just herself but hyun we well from the pain that she might inflict on him. once her oldest daughter began to age beyond seul and left her no choice but to leave her, pretend to be the daughter, etc., seul made it a personal rule that she couldn’t get too close

If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

k: hyun would say he already knew that she was his dark queen, destined to rule the earth and the underworld together.

l: after the time loop, her past self meeting with his future self (if its approved) and everything that they go through together, she’ll dreamily agree lol

What would their lives be like if they had never met?

k: hyun would just continue on with his time loop. they're literally fated by the universe.

l: seul would still be seul, fleeting and eccentric to others. guarded, wears her heart on her sleeve, wouldnt let a lot of people in.

GENERAL

Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go?

k: hyun had plenty of yolo moments.

l: agreed LMAO. i think at that point she’d just be emotionally overwhelmed but also relieved since this is when the time loop supposedly ends?

Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?

k: their first date was the second time hyun went to seul's shop? he just spontaneously asked her to grab coffee with him? unless u want smth more unique

l: this is fine. although the memorable date will definitely be the one where he freezes himself to death LOL

What was their first kiss like?

- omg idk

Were they each other’s first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)?

k: she was hyun's first everything lmao

l: he’s second everything HAHAHAHAHA. second husband. second marriage. second person who she finds out she’s terrified to losing to old age (after her oldest daughter) but just as important

What’s their height difference? Age difference?

k and l: hyun is 5'10", both jisoo and somin are 5'4" apparently

What’s their relationship with each other’s families?

k: hyun's parents have a good relationship with him. the dad is very distant and always just worked. he also preferred his free time spent with his friends rather than his own family, probably due to outgrowing his wife. but hyun has a bond with his dad. they're a lot like friends, more than father and son. hyun is a very loving son to his mother, followed her well, and was obedient. his tough facade would collapse whenever his mom was around.

l: seul would have been really close to her parents. she would have been a sheltered and spoiled child, specially since she didn’t have any siblings. towards her oldest daughter, she had a tough love kind of relationship with. for the longest time she was the only one who knew of her time travel and age situation so seul also felt that she had no one in the world but her. but as she began to age older and seul remained the same, she began to grow more fearful of the day when her daughter would be leaving her. towards hyun and seolhyun she’d be a lot more soft. i think she’d try to make up to seolhyun what she couldn’t provide for her oldest daughter.

Do they share a friend group?

k: not sure yet. ig this depends on whether they interact with the same people.

l: maybe the one from one tail, since hyunseul is supposed to be canon volunteers/affiliates

Who takes the lead in social situations?

k: definitely seul lmao can't take hyun anywhere.

l: seul LOL. maybe even seolhyun as well

Who gets jealous easier?

k: hyun isn't a very jealous person. he's a live and let live type of person.

l: same for seul. rather than jealous, she’d envy others for not having the same curse as her when it comes to age

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear?

k: don't know where to begin with hyun LMAO he's romantic but not very good at this.

l: seul but like

LOVE

Who said “I love you” first?

k: seul?

l: yes, she wouldn’t shy away from that and will just blurt it out the moment she feels it. i feel like when that morning comes when she realizes they didnt time loop and she’s crying about it, she’ll just end up blurting it out without really thinking too much about it only that she feels love for him.

What are their primary love languages?

- hyun ranking: words of affirmation > quality time > acts of service > gift giving >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> physical touch

- seul ranking: acts of service = quality time > physical touch > words of affirmation > gift giving (i would say gift giving comes second to last followed by words of affirmation)

Who uses cheesy pick-up lines?

k: not really punny ones but hyun is a writer and would quote love poems

s: she’d be into it lol, i think she’d definitely be into dad jokes so she’ll spring it up on him here and there

How often do they cuddle/engage in PDA?

k: it depends on how often seul initiates because i don't think hyun would.

s: i think in public, the most seul would do is hold his hand or wrap a hand around his waist. but i can also see seul massaging his shoulders while checking on him when she puts him to work and labor around the plant shop, running her hands on his back, snuggle close when it’s cold.

Who initiates kisses?

k & l: i wanna say they're equal in this, as long as it's in private.

Who’s the big and little spoon?

k: hyun could be either lol

l: same with seul. seul would enjoy attempting to be the big spoon though and would tell him she just feels like a koala clinging onto a tree

What are their favorite things to do together?

k: playing with their animal companions. gardening? reading? painting picnic dates, painting parties, stack up book spine poetry, jenga? going to the park? hiking? whale watching? driving around forest roads? scenic drives along the coast [of jeju? incheon?]?

l: working around the shop, gardening work, cooking, picnic dates yes, painting parties yes, anything related to animals and the coast of jeju yes, quality time with seolhyun (most specially when shes taken to a petting zoo), napping (even if its just seul napping with him lol), listening to music together to wind down

Who’s better at comforting the other?

- seul

Who’s more protective?

- hyun

Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?

k: hyun prefers verbal, seul probably prefers physical

l: yes, i think seul likes physical affection more but it isn’t a deterrent in the relationship

What are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise?

- https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7g8DRFr37kiNiojAZJAkiq?si=594e492241424d64

What kind of nicknames do they call each other?

k: hyun calls her his dark queen, my queen, my love and other doting terms. 슬기롭다 (seulgi robda) as in wise one, or 이슬 방울 (iseul bangul) for dewdrop, 이슬 방울 (achim iseul) as in morning dew, 산 이슬 (san iseul) as in mountain dew.

l: namchin, jagi/yeobo, as for the rest i need to get back on this lol

Who remembers the little things?

k: hyun has eidetic memory. he remembers everything, even down to the details, with perfect clarity.

l: seul wouldn’t be so bad at remembering the little details either since she’s a pretty detail oriented person. however she’ll probably be a little aloof about it

DOMESTIC LIFE

If they get married, who proposes?

- hyun proposed.

What’s the wedding like? Who attends?

k: it was a civil procedure in the city hall because they did it on the spur of the moment but i imagine they remarried in jeju? beach wedding?

l: we can say they remarried yes. his family would be there? her oldest daughter would be there too, but probably in the guise of the daughter being seul’s mom. a few of seul’s friends who she got closer with because of the shop/her affiliates in the business.

How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like?

k: one baby girl?

l: one but seul would probably want more LOL. seolhyun has traits of both her mom and dad. she’ll get the compassion for animals from dad as well as the really good memory. bubbly, vocal like her momma. i can see her gearing heavily into the arts and being really in touch with nature and spirituality once she’s a little more grown.

Do they have any pets?

- seul has one dog and one cat. hyun has 4 hamsters, but plenty of animals come to visit their home.

Who’s the stricter parent?

k: seul?

l: yes, most likely seul but only because she’s lived long enough and has gone through the whole thing when her older daughter was still a child

Who worries the most?

- hyun maybe

Who kills the bugs in the house?

- no one is allowed to killed bugs when hyun is around. he's morally against killing any kind of creature of the earth.

How do they celebrate holidays?

- this question is very vague but i assume they're always together for holidays

Who’s more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?

k: seul?

l: yes lol, i can see her being a bad influence and encouraging hyun for more sleep. she also likes to nap so she’ll probably be convincing him for some daytime siestas, especially when the shop is slow.

Who’s the better cook?

- well, they're neck and neck in this i think

Who likes to dance?

- hyun likes to dance surprisingly

All of the pre-relationship questions for gemma/huxley 👀 - asher

you're speakin' my language friend. also i taggy you so it's easier to find @ofthecosmos

1. How did they first met? - I actually wrote a fic for that! but Hux saw them around cause Gemma would show up at practices (because Xavier is her bff) and he started noticing how many little tiny cuts they had and he ended up buying them one of those big ultra boxes of band-aids and giving them to her.

2. What was their first impression of each other? - Huxley's legit first thought was that she seemed a bit intimidating, but he saw her interacting with Xavier and he realized that she couldn't be a bad person if Xavier was friends with her. Gemma's first impression was that he was hard working, and had a kind heart and that he was cute but she would never admit that last one aloud to anyone.

3. Did any of their friends or family want them to get together? - Dear Gods yes. i put it in one of the 4 Xavier fics I wrote yesterday, but Xavier wanted it soooo bad. He saw quite a few of their interactions, and he KNOWS Gemma. he could tell that she had a crush on Hux even if she wouldn't admit it to herself. And it was pretty obvious that Hux liked her, what with how the guy's tail would practically wag if Gemma ever agreed to hang out.

4.Who felt romantic feelings first? - Surprisingly, Gemma. Huxley had invited her out on a hike with him, and of course she somehow ended up falling and scraping her knee really badly. And Hux being the kind dude he is, ended up helping her patch it up and while he was helping her he looked up at her and just smiled the same goofy smile he always does but Gemma saw it and thought about how much she wanted to kiss him.

5. Did either of them try to resist their feelings? - Oh my gods yes, I feel like Gemma tried for MONTHS to resist her feelings. I think Hux might have at first too, worried that 1. she didn't feel the same. and 2. that Xavier would go all big brother on him if he tried to be with Gemma romantically. But Gemma took months to admit to anyone (even herself) that she had feelings for Huxley. it legit took Xavier basically prying it out of her.

6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think? - Huxley would think that he was really lucky to have such a cool soulmate. but he wouldn't want that to be a pressure on her to be with him. He would want it to be her choice. Where Gemma would deny it. but in like a Tsundere way. she would be completely red faced, and would say that there was no way someone like him could be her soulmate. and verbally that sounds pretty bad but she's thinking about how he could do better, and how he would probably prefer to be with someone more open that she is.

7. What would their lives be like if they had never met? - Huxley's would go the exact same way we see it going during the audios. he would have his friends and he would have an honestly really fulfilling life. Gemma...would stay closed off from the world. Her only friend would stay Xavier and she wouldn't see anything really wrong with that.

[delvalentine]

[poses] so..... i saw you were... doing... match-ups.. 👀👀and!! i would love to see what vibe check match-up you think would be my soulmate!!

☀️ hm.. i think if i had to describe myself.. i think i'm generally just an easy-going person. i know i can be lazy (and at worst, horridly isolating), but i'm also pretty easily excitable and ambitious for my goals and for work! if there's a rough situation or something i have to adapt to, i think logically and with my head. though, at the price of my ambition, sometimes i get become internally too prideful—yet! at the peak of my character growth and years, i'm quick to rationalize and check myself in an instant. both are pretty important to me, but i've learned over my taste in stories that i'm the type of person who enjoys the end more than the process!

and hm.. a surprise fact? i'm an introvert! after maybe about 4 hours or so, my burn out manifests in completely just. checking out. bored. gone. or just doing something completely unrelated. however. on things i hyperfocus on, i can solo something for more than 46+ hours

literally the anon with the b-day of jan 6. (right behind me!) was right because childhood friend tropes are the absolute best troupe!!! it's just.. all abt that mutual pining y'know??? fantasy troupes are a close second, because literally??? if anything's fantasy and has magic i'm already there. done. wizarding. blam, yanno? 🧙‍♂️

☀️ feel free to choose from any fandom, gender, and either platonic or romantic!!

hello beloved !! i am happy to deliver straight vibes to your doorstep hehe.

chongyun

"i think i'm generally just an easy-going person. i know i can be lazy (and at worst, horridly isolating), but i'm also pretty easily excitable and ambitious for my goals and for work! if there's a rough situation or something i have to adapt to, i think logically and with my head."

chongyun is introverted and pragmatic in his attempts to quell his abundance of positive energy. but sometimes it slips out, which leads to some very interesting situations. he finds that he flusters easily around you, but surely that doesn't mean anything. it's just because he's known you for a while and he doesn't want you to think differently of him. you're a permanent fixture in his life, he hopes, so the reason why he's been blushing recently whenever he catches you smiling at him definitely has to do with something else...

he is also proud to the point where he has to be talked out of his own head sometimes. regardless, he likes to find the company of other introverts, struggling with overly "heated" people... you're a source of respite for him. although he takes comfort and can relax with you, he also admires your sense of ambition and purpose, which motivates him to catch up to you. your good sense of logic is very helpful to him because he's quite frankly a himbo (read: not the sharpest tool in the shed). although he was embarrassed about making mistakes in front of you at first, he knows you've got his best interests in mind and that you're never making fun of him. as childhood friends (winkwink nudge nudge), you're the one who's seen him at his worst and best. that type of history is irreplaceable.

in a fantasy world, i can see him as a wandering warlock with an inability to manifest magic despite coming from a long line of powerful magicians. rare but unfortunate, they said. you and him set off on a journey to discover a treasure rumoured to restore people's lost magic. adventure ! fighting dragons ! hiding in cabins while it rains and huddling close to preserve body warmth even though he's used to avoiding warmth but he's sworn a vow to protect you !?

in any case, you will be riding on wind and cloud alike with a lover like chongyun. take care of him and he will try his darndest to return the favour. he's just a bit clumsy, so handle with care.
