Time period post: car culture

Getting a license is more than a right of passage, it’s integral. Getting a car is big- both for one’s reputation and social life, back in the day kids couldn’t wait to get their license…

In the 60s cars were becoming the dominant mode of transportation, it was getting more common for families to have more than one (if they could afford it) and so on. Though public transportation was still prevalent and reliable like bus and trolly systems… cars were a status/clout symbol for teenagers. You wanted the cool car, the nice car, the muscle car.

Automatic transmission, a variety of colors, bench seats, bigger, better, sleek. An interesting note is that people have been racing cars since they were invented, but particularly it started to ramp up professionally besides just troublesome teens, hobbiest and bootleggers.

I cannot emphasize enough how much the “car culture” began to be cemented in this period, the 60s is sometimes even referred to as the golden age of motoring. Movies and pop culture of nice slick cars helped cement that, growing trends of customization -> car centered architecture! Not only mid century modern and space age but Googie, meant to capture motorists eyes! Started in the 50s and carried on here.

Route 66!!! “Golden age of motoring” also means the golden age of road trips and tourist attractions, this route is still renown today though it’s mostly the remains of it (which did go through Tulsa!) it was one of the first national highways and later popularized in pop culture for its later touristy nature.

traffic on the highway increased, a growing share of it long-distance, and the need for food, fuel, repairs, and shelter transformed the economies of the towns through which the route passed. The development of novel methods of merchandising to the transient customer that became commonplace in mid-20th-century America—drive-in and drive-up businesses, fast food, motor inns, and roadside advertising—can to a great degree be traced to the influence of Route 66 in those towns.

It was decommissioned formally and completely by 1985, due to high speed highways— often decimating the small towns that came to rely on the traffic (think of Pixar’s cars lmao) it’s not the point of this post but it’s interesting I want to look into more and drive it someday.

Teen specific-

Back on track! The ideas of cars = freedom is about as old as cars themselves, they meant transportation and movement and independence. All things the American teenager craves, all the more if it looks cool and is both a place to hang out and one to take you to hang outs.

“Make out point” is a trope for a reason, the ability for teens to go off and have sex semi secluded was another huge factor for cars importance to teenagers. (Also a time when it is generally becoming less stigmatized/uptight culture)

Car dates generally. It’s private. Intimate and well a lot of ones social life was centered around them so why not your love life? -> there’s also something to be said here about the influence of consumerism too like how it’s why the ‘teenager’ came to be in the first place etc

Fun CogDis Fact [+ Some Theory Crafting & Regards to Lore itself] (STORY SPOILERS... for a 15 year old fan-game)

So i was doing some data mining (as in looking inside of the game files for fun to see how the game ticks and works, and boy howdy let me tell you, RPG Maker 2003's UI scares me, props to Otherhand for navigating through these... many variables, numbers, & symbols going on, because it honestly overwhelms me) I had learned that:

Cerue appears in the Maria & George Magicant Flashback as one of the background Gieegs behind the windows. While this most likely is just a matter of reusing sprites, it should also be noted that not all Gieegs in the "allthegoogs" sprite sheet actually get used. Like, i want to say around 3/4ths of them actually ever get used (there are a total of 4 Gieegs in "allthegoogs".

(UPDATE 1: She's actually present for one more scene, i think? For whatever reason, her event handler has two pages but she appears for both pages, from what i can guess, she is meant to be the Gieeg that appears during the sequence where Maria & George are walking down the hallway [i think i want to say when George wants to show off the mental amps to Maria, since they share similar variables "0049: maction", which is meant to be the activation of an event via some number inputted by some handler)

(UPDATE 2: Yep, she is present for the scene when George & Maria head to the giant vault door to then breach using the Mental Amplifier Device, yet she doesnt seem to look, which could mean Otherhand forgor to make her turn or she wasnt meant to be there)

Another fun fact, the two Gieegs (referred to as goog 1 & goog 2 internally) that appear when Giegue has his overstimulation moment by Maria's Melody are actually using Giegue's Sprite Sheet (referred to as "Newgiegue")

(a part of me wanted to say its probably due to Giegue being the only "stock-standard" looking gieeg to have a moving sprite, but that isnt even remotely true since the gieegs from "allthegoogs" ALSO have walk sprites as well)

...the fact that the misc googs dont get used here either really feels like there was some manner of implication there by the dev. Personally i feel like its meant to imply that this is Giegue's actual parents but that would be a MONSTROUS conclusion to jump to, especially when there is ZERO mention about the BG Gieegs other than them appearing in scenes and the "(They're watching)" interaction.

Actually, the only real plausible theory to make here would be that Cerue was around for the Human Caretaker Experiment/Goog's Arrival to the Solar System. I mean, the fact that she knows about Giegue and refers to him as an anomaly, seems to imply she knows a LOT more about Giegue (as in a majority of his history/biography) than what the player already knows (who he is, what he is, what he becomes, etc.), in addition, she has a Starman in a chamber and seems to know about their origin/capabilities, even calling their transformation into Starmen a mistake yet compliments the design itself.

Which reminds me of something else, the timeline of events in CogDis which are awfully questionable in terms of order (at least for 1 to 4):

"QUESTIONABLE" TIME OF EVENTS

(190X) - The Gieegs arrive to the Solar System and successfully neutralize the Martian's Space Station's Inhabitants to ensure they have the element of Surprise on their hand.

(190X) - The Gieegs arrive to Mars and engage in war against the Martians. They are successful in doing so and assimilate the Martians into their Army/Empire as the "Starmen" (?).

(190X) - Maria & George find Giegue out in the wild, they are then kidnapped and Maria is supposedly in a mini coma for over a week??? Regardless, George & Maria take care of Googie (also George works out some arrangements with the Gieegs to make sure that everything is comfortable to their liking).

(190X) - 2 or so years later, the event occurs, Maria gets Magicant'd and George runs away with the Mental Amplifiers.

(190X -> 198X) - Mother 1's Back Story involving George's Return to Earth occurs and eventually leads to the events of Mother 1 itself (also apparently PSI spreads out across Earth itself?).

I refer to this as being "questionable" as I am highly unsure as to whether or not the Gieegs were the only ones present on the Mothership OR if the Gieegs had done Mars dirty, assimilated the Martians into their Army as the Starmen and then went to Earth.

Personally a part of me wants to believe its potentially the former, as them getting pissed off at Humanity and taking it out on the Martians seems fitting in terms of MOTHER/Earthbound Logic (problem is that this wouldnt really align too well with the Mars' Data Log).

However it might actually be the latter considering that the Gieegs come from outside the Solar System, and by this time the Martians are the only one with a Space Station/Satellite, them getting neutralized by the Gieegs feels fitting, as the Gieegs themselves REALLY dont like it when another race has PSI (or at least, if they do, they dont like them being a potential threat to their goals, whatever THAT may be).

[tl;dr version of this paragraph, either they got super pissy and took out their hate on Mars or they are the equivalent to the Viltrumite Empire from INVINCIBLE and neutralized Mars so nobody would know and potentially warn others who about their arrival]

(now im thinking of the "THINK MARK! THINK!" meme in my head but with Giegue & [insert fitting character role here])

(Also if you're wondering why i've come to such a strong assumption about the Gieegs, it mainly has to do with a friend of mine bringing up a really good point when i was discussing lore stuff about my sona's world (aka the one in my pfp and which i have a ref sheet to), that being "Why would a race that seems peaceful, need weapons of mass destruction to defend themselves? That would imply that they aren't peaceful in the slightest or have blood on their hands." and it sorta stuck with me. Like, the best example I can currently think of is: An alien race comes down to Earth and says "we come in peace" and then pulled out a nuke and vaporized an entire forest after one deer spooked them; thats sorta what the Gieegs feel like to me whenever i think about them now, CogDis obviously doesnt make them peaceful and afr kind of 'shifty' but Official Mother (Game) Lore never actually quite describes what their intentions even were in the first place, only that they were afraid of Humanity having access to PSI and that Giegue needed to stop them)

Actually, i find it even more weird as to what could have possibly had occurred to the other Gieegs. So if we were to go by the theory of "Cerue being around", then there was probably at least... Three to Four unique Gieegs total?

(Hell, maybe there could of been even more aboard the Mothership for all we know, considering that when Maria is running through the halls, she mentions that the aliens on board all sorta just looked at them without stopping them, never brings up if they were just other Gieegs or what, just that they were being observed)

We know Cerue could have potentially disembarked at some random point (maybe potentially after the Human Caretaker Experiment OR after the Mars Invasion, depending upon which happens first) and goes into hiding on Mercury, basically collecting various creatures from around the Solar System (some either being alive or dead).

We do not know what happens to the other 2 to 3 Gieegs except that they were present for the Human Caretaker Experiment & The Invasion of Mars, as they were most likely responsible for the majority of opposition & were described as being all-powerful by the Mars Super Computer's City Records, so I imagine only a few were needed to take over.

Giegue is the only one around on the Mothership (excluding Niiue) but doesn't know where Cerue went.

(...potentially, Niiue's dialogue about him knowing that she doesn't want to meet him could imply that he's referring to his true identity as Giegue & knows that Cerue possibly sensed him but as Giegue and not his own unique being, which is why she said she only trusted the Applechasers [the main 4] and doesnt try to erase their memory).

(WARNING LINKS LEAD TO FANDOM WIKI, CARRY A BLOCKER) Oddly enough, the fandom wiki for Earthbound has a really interesting tidbit of a theory regarding as to what Giegue's Race even was or what may have happened to them (since after Mother 1, Giegue's People gets ZERO mention), mentioning that after he returned to the ship, he may have ended up killing his people in a fit of distress & deterioration before eventually transforming into Giygas, but its fandom wiki so take it with a tablespoon of salt.

(if youre wondering "why not use WikiBound?", it mainly tends to be game information rather than like, external media information..? Idk, i personally feel like i found more substance to Giegue's Fandom Page than compared to his WikiBound Page)

something i will mention however, is that the fandom wiki uses a lot of information from the novel for Mother 1 (apparently?) as a means to sorta fill in information regarding events that occur between the games. Also its the only wiki with a page regarding Giegue's Race, also this really cool illustration of the Mothership:

Anyhoot, I'm done rambling now, i just sorta wanted to share this because it was on my mind. Gonna stop now before my brain overheats and combusts from thinking too much, also i am hungry, its lunch.

(UPDATE, 12/23/202X, I've realized Cerue's Sprite has different opacities, which might mean that she's been sticking around quite a bit when George makes his discoveries & when the two escape)

Sailor Stars episode 200 was written with a different ending. Part 1

I was surprised when I started reading the script how parts of the ending was changed. Let me know your thoughts on what version you like better!

Side note. I am paraphrasing.

Page 4. On this page, Chibi Chibi is referred to as Cosmos in parentheses. Makes me wonder if they tried to plan a little more than just the silhouette.

Page 17. This is where Sailor Moon defeats Galaxia. It mentions how the starseeds are returned and they shoot off of into the night. The entire scene of Galaxia and Sailor Moon speaking while they are both naked wondering what what happened to Chaos did not exist.

One of the starseeds materializes into Endymion. He calls her name and she calls him Mamo-chan. In the original script, he was the first appear. Not the Sailor Senshi. The anime reversed it.

Page 18. Usagi still rushes into Mamoru's arms and they hug. He wraps his cape around Usagi. While that is happening the other senshi are returning in this order: Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn.

Mars: Usagi!

Mercury: Usagi-chan!

Usagi: Everyone!

Mars rushes forward to hug Usagi and Endymion and the other Inners are right behind her. It is not completely clear, but I believe the Outers hug them as well.

Scene shifts to Princess Kakyuu appearing in front the Starlights.

Page 19. Scene with Kakyuu and Starlights is pretty much the same until the end. Fighter looks up at Usagi and Usagi looks back at Fighter. They smile at each other.

Usagi says, "Thank you Chibi Chibi." This is the first time Chibi Chibi is mentioned in these past few pages. I would assume Chibi Chibi is not present for any of this.

Scene at the end shifts to all the starseeds returning throughout the universe to where they belong. This reads like an amazing scene to have countless shooting stars leaving the Earth to go home.

Page 20. Continuation of starseed scene. We found Chibi Chibi!

This is rather vague. Chibi Chibi is talking to someone listed as "girl." Going back to the cast page in a previous post, "girl" has "Past Galaxia" listed and no cast name. Is this the freed Galaxia?

Girl/Galaxia is taking to Chibi Chibi about going back home. They discuss how light revived the galaxy but Chaos may come back.

Chibi Chibi talks. She says, it's okay because of Sailor Moon's warm light.

Girl/Galaxia agrees.

The Moon is rising and Chibi Chibi says they should go home.

Girl/Galaxia agrees and thanks Sailor Moon.

They hold hands and go home.

Scene shifts to plane lights in the sky twinkling like stars.

Page 21. Saying goodbye to the Starlights. WOW. This is very different.

Ami asks Taiki if they are leaving.

Taiki says they are and his friends are waiting for him. They are going to make a new planet.

Ami says "Taiki-san......" (there are a lot of dots)

Taiki said thank you it was really nice to meet her and they shake hands.

Rei and the girls are surprised to see them shaking hands. Rei comments they're holding hands.

Minako says somehow.

Makoto says Ami-chan is doing well.

Ami is embarrassed by this that she is holding his hand and she is still shy she is trying to say something but her voice trails off.

Rei and the group ask, what about us?

Enter Yaten who states he is also really glad to have met everyone.

Rei, Makoto, and Minako... (I think) make googy eyes at Yaten and call him Yaten-kun.

Yaten then thanks Luna and shakes his hand with the cat. (I'm dying over here). I am also assuming he shakes the cat's paw?

Page 22. Luna's response and Artemis are pretty much the same here.

Makoto says, wait a minute.

Rei comments, passing on all these cute girls/maidens.

Minako: Say hello to the cat?

Yaten and Luna laugh.

Seiya and Princess Kakyuu are looking up at the sky.

Seiya comments it feels like a long time since they chased Princess Kakyuu to this planet.

Princess Kakyuu speaks out loud wondering what happened to the Light Hope they were searching for.

Seiya says hope is within everyone. He will continue to guide everyone as a shining star and it was something he forgot along the way.

Princess Kakyuu smiles. She never gave up on that Light of Hope until the very end. (She is not clear. Maybe Sailor Moon? Chibi Chibi?)

Page 23. Usagi calls out to Seiya. Scene is very similar to the anime.

Seiya turns around to see Usagi standing there with Mamoru. He tells her, he is glad she has her boyfriend back.

Usagi says it is thanks to him being here and she working hard.

Seiya says Odango. The two stare at each other.

Seiya says he will never forget her.

Usagi still says they're be friends forever. (poor Seiya)

Minako and Makoto laugh. Ami and Princess Kakyuu turn red. Rei and Mamoru look baffled.

Girls make fun of Usagi for not understanding.

Page 24. Rei makes fun of Usagi for not understanding what Seiya means.

Princess Kakyuu says its time to return to their planet.

Seiya whispers in Mamoru's ear as he passes by, he has to protect her from now on.

Mamoru says he will and will make Seiya happy.

Seiya laughs and comments you say that. He turns around and says goodbye Odango.

They turn into the Starlights and say goodbye, same as the anime.

Final pages in the next post tomorrow. Couldn't fit it all in one.

Hello Chuu my love my darling my angel my sweet sweet pup, do you have any fantasies involving being used by strangers or recognized by followers, and if so, care to elaborate? Mwah

helloooo anon my dearest my googy my anonnn!!! my tail is wagging at all the sweet names btw thank youu. hehe im lovedarlingangelsweetpup ...

mwah i fear i am putting my fantasies are under the readmoreee. you got me

covering my face with my hands i fear youve hit such a weak spot... i have never written down a Lot about my Fantasies fantasies i think so. looking away. i am just typing and typing and typing a

i think like. being used by strangers is so !!! good for fantasies!!! i think the like ... concept of being on a crowded train or something and having everyone be oblivious to the fact that someone(s plural?!?!)s touching me is sooo. the like .. being on the subway and trying to hold on to something while the train rocks and someone presses themselves up against my back. oh nooo the trains are waiting for signal clearance... we are gonna be here for a while... being dragged off the train by said stranger at the next stop to Continue is alsooo. a lot.

part TWO of being used by strangers i think soo much of like. going to a party with a friend but going through the Introvert Nightmare of clinging to the wall while my friend who brought me to the party is off talking to other people?? sitting next to someone i don't know and maybe striking up an (awkward) conversation with them. ... not realizing they're getting a little closer n a little touchy. i think ending up lowkey being felt up by a stranger at a party and having any noise i make drowned out by the sound of people chatting or music playing would be kind of wild... this one is a recurring fantasy fksjfj pawbeanies confession sometimes i put on like Party Ambiance Sounds to like get the full fantasy experience except it also makes me kind of sleepy

ofc like u can imagine both of these with People plural also. they are very flexible concepts in. my brain. there is a small department of braincells dedicated to Fantasies Of Being Used By Strangers

kicking my feet i havent thought that much about being Recognized by followers (mostly because i didnt think like. i have only now realized that thats a thing. that can happen now.???) but aaaa. the likeee. being pulled to the side by someone who Knows and being shown all my posts like. oh noo..... it would be a shame if everyone found out such a sweet innocent and soft-spoken person was actually a gross pervert?? ofc there is a way for this to stay a secret .....

hmhmhm i think also a fantasy of like... vaguely related to being recognized but. going Undercover to do nasty stuff with ppl from Internet... like secret identity but like. gross about it... and then bam its like the wig comes off and actually that Weird Internet Dog is actually chuu from (department i work in) that always says hello to everyone in the hallways ..... recognized ....

in like a horrible no good turn of events i think these are all just plots to doujins ive read and liked and now i gotta go like touch grass. i think. for my own good... the moral of the story... drink water...

Hi, i love your work. I was wondering if you could do a bunny x spirit reader where they're really good friends who secretly love each other, and the reader comes over to the warren a lot either to hang out or help bunny (we all know his stress is through the roof). The eggs all love reader and love to follow them around the warren. What if one time an egg accidentally somehow leaves with the reader without bunny or them noticing? And bunny can tell that one is missing and he is just freaking out and searching everywhere for it and its just with the reader. They both find out about the egg and it leads to a romantic confession from both of them? Hope you have a good day

The Matchmaking Egg.

Bunnymund x (fem guardian/spirit) reader.

It was a beautiful spring day in the Warren as Y/n strolled through the lush green grass and colorful flowers, a happy smile on her patterned skull face. The sentient Easter eggs bounced along behind her, chirping excitedly. They always loved when the Lady of the Dead came to visit.

"Ahh, there ya are!" a familiar Australian accented voice called out. Y/n looked up to see E. Aster Bunnymund, the Easter Bunny himself, hopping over with a grin. "The googies have been waitin' for ya all mornin'. Reckon they like you more than me at this point!"

Y/n laughed, the sound like musical chimes echoing through the Warren. "Oh Bunny, you know that's not true. They adore you! I'm just a fun distraction."

Bunny's green eyes sparkled with mirth as he reached Y/n and gave her a quick hug in greeting. "Well, I appreciate ya comin' to help out. This close to Easter, I can use all the spare paws I can get."

"I'm always happy to help," Y/n replied warmly as they began walking together, dozens of eggs trailing behind them like ducklings. "You know I love spending time here in the Warren with you."

"Me too, sheila," Bunny said, glancing at her fondly. "Your visits are the highlight of my days. Er, I mean, the eggs! The highlight for the eggs..." He cleared his throat awkwardly.

Y/n just smiled to herself. She knew Bunny cared for her as more than a friend, just as she harbored deep affection for the Pooka. But neither had gotten up the nerve to admit their true feelings yet. For centuries, they had danced around it, exchanging meaningful looks and "accidental" touches. Best friends on the surface, but bubbling with unspoken love underneath.

As they approached the Color River where eggs were dunked to receive their base coat, Bunny gestured to a set of paint brushes and dye bowls set out on a stone table. "Care to do the honors of helpin' paint some of the googies today?"

"I'd love to!" Y/n replied eagerly. Decorating eggs was one of her favorite parts of visiting the Warren. She picked up a brush and selected a rich purple dye, then began covering a blank eggshell in swirling patterns.

They worked companionably side by side for hours, chatting and laughing together. Y/n loved seeing the care Bunny put into each egg design, green eyes narrowed in concentration, pink tongue poking out. He was so dedicated to making each one special for the children.

As orange light began slanting into the Warren signaling late afternoon, Bunny set down his brush and stretched. "Reckon that's enough for one day. I'm downright starvin'! Care to join me for an early dinner?"

"That sounds perfect," Y/n smiled, gold and red eyes glowing. "Lead the way, conejito."

Bunny laced his paw with her skeletal hand as they headed for his Burrow, both secretly thrilling at the contact. He made them vegetable stew and fresh baked bread, which they ate in front of a crackling fire. Y/n sighed contentedly, feeling completely at peace.

Once the dishes were cleared away, Bunny walked Y/n back to the surface entrance of the Warren. "Thanks again for all your help today," he said sincerely. "Dunno what I'd do without ya."

"Oh, I think you'd manage," Y/n teased gently. "But I'm always happy to spend time with you, Aster." She reached up to stroke his furry cheek. "I should head back though. Early morning tomorrow for Día de los Muertos prep."

Bunny nodded, simultaneously craving her touch and fighting the urge to nuzzle into her palm. "Course, course. Well, see ya soon then?"

"Definitely," Y/n promised. With one last brush of hands, she turned and stepped into a portal, transporting herself home.

Once in her house in the Land of the Remembered, Y/n removed her large hat and gasped. There, nestled amongst the marigolds and candles, was a tiny Easter egg looking up at her.

"Uh, how did you get in my hat, little guy?" Y/n asked with bewilderment. "Bunny must be worried sick... I should probably bring you back to where you belong." She sighed, realizing her mistake. In her distraction saying goodbye to Bunny, she hadn't noticed the little egg had hitched a ride home with her.

Meanwhile, back at the Warren, Bunnymund was doing a final count of the eggs for the night when a spike of panic shot through him. One was missing! He frantically searched the Warren from top to bottom, calling out for the wayward egg, imagining it scared and alone. But it was nowhere to be found. Could it have wandered into one of his tunnels? Been snatched by a wandering elf looking for a snack?

His mind racing with terrible possibilities, Bunny was practically hyperventilating when a shimmering portal suddenly opened and Y/n stepped through, cradling something gently in her hands. "Missing someone?" she asked with a wry smile.

"Y/n! You're back!" Bunny bounded over to her and then froze when he saw what she was holding. "Wait... is that...?"

"I believe this little one accidentally came home with me," Y/n explained, carefully transferring the egg into Bunny's outstretched paw. "It must have snuck into my hat when we were saying goodbye. I'm so sorry Aster, I should have noticed-"

"No, no, it's okay," Bunny quickly reassured her, relief flooding through him that the egg was unharmed. He stroked its shell soothingly. "No harm done. I'm just glad the little ankle-biter is safe. Suppose it didn't want to say goodbye to ya either..." He smiled softly at Y/n.

Y/n returned the smile, her patterned cheeks taking on an almost blushing glow. "Well, can you blame it? I didn't exactly want to leave either..."

They gazed at each other for a long, charged moment. The egg in Bunny's paw started vibrating with excitement, as if it could sense the unspoken energy between them.

"Y/n..." Bunny started, then swallowed hard. It was now or never. "There's somethin' I gotta tell ya. Somethin' I shoulda said a long time ago..."

"What is it, Aster?" Y/n asked breathlessly, hands fluttering nervously by her sides. Could this really be happening?

Bunny took a deep breath and reached for her hand again. "Y/n, you're my best friend. Have been for centuries. But the truth is... it's more than that. So much more. I... I love you. I'm in love with you. Have been almost since the day we met. I know I'm just a washed up old rabbit, but-"

He was cut off as Y/n threw her arms around his neck, almost sending them toppling to the ground. "Oh Bunny," she whispered joyfully. "Mi amor, I love you too. So very much. I never dreamed..."

Bunny blinked rapidly, overcome with emotion. "Really? Ya mean it?"

In response, Y/n leaned in and pressed her lips gently against his. Bunny gasped and then melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. After so many centuries of pent-up longing, the dam had finally burst, their love pouring out to merge and flow together as naturally as a stream joining a river.

When they finally pulled apart to catch their breath, Bunny was stunned to see tears shimmering in Y/n's eyes, making the gold and red glow even brighter. He brushed his thumb tenderly across her cheekbone. "Hey now, what's this? Why the waterworks, love?"

Y/n laughed wetly and reached up to hold his paw against her face. "I'm just so happy," she admitted. "I've loved you for so long, Aster. I never imagined we'd actually end up here."

"Me neither," Bunny murmured, pressing his forehead against hers. "Reckon I'm the luckiest Pooka in the galaxy." He looked down at the little egg still snuggled in his other paw. "And I owe it all to this little blighter!"

The egg quivered with pride, as if it had planned this all along. Y/n giggled and stroked its shell. "Guess you're our little matchmaker, huh pequeño? Thank you."

Bunny chuckled. "Remind me to paint this one extra special for Easter." He smiled at Y/n. "Now, what do ya say we return this munchkin to its mates and I make us a nice cuppa tea?"

"That sounds perfect," Y/n agreed happily, lacing her fingers with his. Hand in hand, hearts full to bursting, they headed back to the Burrow, the little egg bouncing along giddily behind them. It was the start of a beautiful new chapter, for both the Guardians of Hope and the Dead, all thanks to one adventurous little egg.

As they cuddled together on the sofa, sipping chamomile tea and exchanging soft kisses, Bunny knew he would never stop being grateful for that fateful day and the mischievous little googie that finally brought his love for Y/n out into the open. He squeezed her hand and she smiled up at him with those mesmerizing eyes, and he knew no matter what challenges they faced, as long as they had each other, it would be a bright and colorful future indeed. Hope and new beginnings, just like Easter and Día de los Muertos. Two holidays, two Guardians, two hearts, united as one. It was more than Bunny could have ever hoped for.

HEEHEEHEE hi jack >:3

21. Share your favorite piece of dialogue

my fav may still be from the roman/shiv fic i linked previously but here's a sneakity peekity at one i really like from something i'm working on rn:

“The first time you met him? Oh man, I can just picture it. ‘What some people believe to be love at first sight is merely physical attraction. Only when you truly know another person’s soul can you be, as they say, in love.’”

23. Share the final version of a sentence or paragraph you struggled with. What about it was challenging? Are you happy with how it turned out?

the opening section of What are you attempting to do? was one i really had to chew over-- and got a lot of help from @witchoil with-- because it had to establish where Zerxus was at mentally in a way that would make his decisions (and surprise, and self-delusion) make sense as the fic goes on. Hel pretty much gave me exactly what i needed when we talked about it and they were like "he thinks he knows Asmodeus better than Asmodeus knows himself" and that is EXACTLY the kind of loving hubris that gets Zerxus into all his troubles lmfao

"You know him. You know him better than he knows himself. And you know he does not want to perish with the rest of the Betrayers."

( ^^^ patently untrue and the stockholm syndie has him acting unwise)

25. What did you use to write? (e.g. writing programs, paper & pen, etc.)

Google Docs and my ol rhodia notebook-- i do all ""pre-production"" (themes, story structure, influences, "key frames") planning for fics on paper and then move to googie for hammering out the details and first drafts.

i have oodles and oodles of pages like these for The Metal Gear Fics and i'm looking forward to putting them all together into an insane pdf at the end just for fun 😂 ! most of it ends up getting reworked or scrapped but it's an important part of the process for me

[scrappedtogether]

Okay ohmygod this is an amazing idea im gonna send like 80 million of these so feel free to skip some etc (esp if you've already done them!!!)

❤️ + WNSD (fave ep AND stylized movie!)

✌️ + 80s movie trio!

🍿 oh and also 🧠 + Velma

And 🧍‍♂️and also 🏡

hi swishy! 👋 Thank you for the ask!!!

❤️ [+WNSD] - I talked about my fav eps of What’s New here and I stand by a lot of what I said. It’s legit so, so hard for me to narrow it down but that’s as close as I’ve gotten. 😂 For favorite WNSD era movie I LOVE Where’s My Mummy. It’s such a beautiful movie with so many sweet moments between the Gang and I love the plot twist. Velma as the villain is so iconic. I also love a lot of the side characters (Omar, Amahl Ali Akbar, Amelia). There’s a lot of beautiful uses of color in the film and it’s overall v fun and heartfelt.

✌️[+Classic/Red-Shirt Era] - MATCHES!! He’s my special little guy. I also adore the Grimwood Girls (Tanis/Winnie are my fav but I love Sibella/Elsa/Phantasma too!) and their dads <3. The Calloway Cadets are also really fun and I love Googie ofc (plus Vanna Pira & Drac).

🍿- Zombie Island forever <3. When I was younger I literally wore out the Ghoul School DVD I had. Cyber Chase and Camp Scare are also all time favs.

🧠 [+Velma] - mmmmm. There’s so many cute canon details abt her already 🤔 I can’t think of any headcanons really 😅. I will say I love the concept that’s been shown in a lot of movies of her just *needing* to have a book with her at all times. I find that super adorable and endearing. Again, completely not really a headcanon at all but yeah!

🏡 - COOLSVILLE

Best 4 hours of my life, with the loml ♡

‘Merry es almost CHRISTMAS every googie! I hopes  juu has beens verr merry and brights!’

[borathae]

Also not sure if I ever asked this but I'm in a re read SA mood since its very cold and i need some self indulgent CLITERATURE (I read this term online today lmao. I'm hoping it doesn't offend you)

But considering how tae considers OC his girl.. Is there a throbbing vein of jealousy here somewhere when he sees her with yoongi?? ALSO ALSO ALSO THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED IT BETWEEN THEM??? Yoongi is kinky with people he doesn't care about but with her he's so deep and raw oaqygwgwg TELL ME WHY I SHOULD COMBUST ON THE SPOT?????

Also I've not been the same person ever since you confirmed a possible angry hate sex scenario between taekook in MV aoauhwgwg

CLITERATURE AHHAHAHAHA PLEASE 💀😂😂 THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING WORD I EVER HEARD HAHAHAH 😂

But considering how tae considers OC his girl.. Is there a throbbing vein of jealousy here somewhere when he sees her with yoongi??

I want to say so much, but it will be discussed in detail in MV. I can however tell you that the boys do have their little jealousy moments. But it's more on the cute level instead of the toxic level. Tae for example loves giving her lots of kisses until she is giggling in front of the others whenever he is a little jealous. While Yoongi for example loves to flex his cooking skills and make her praise him in front of the others. Or Googie just becomes the clingiest cutie ever. So Tae - and the others - definitely has his lil jealousy moments, but it's never toxic 🥺

ALSO ALSO ALSO THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED IT BETWEEN THEM??? Yoongi is kinky with people he doesn't care about but with her he's so deep and raw oaqygwgwg TELL ME WHY I SHOULD COMBUST ON THE SPOT?????

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH :( I WANNA FUCKING BREAK :(

Also I've not been the same person ever since you confirmed a possible angry hate sex scenario between taekook in MV aoauhwgwg

:---) the scene is at 12k words and is the filthiest fucking thing I ever wrote :--) I sometimes think about it and go weak in the knees fnadfna

[artzypaw]

Mm Jack messing with his ears in an attempt to annoy him but actually just flustering him - 🕯🍊

Ty for the Prompt! It was a lot of fun to write :)

____________________

“You know it’s the end of August, right?”

Jack says above, sprawled atop the ledge of earth located behind Aster as he sits against it. The pooka registers the question only after he’s finished a stroke on the egg he’s working on and huffs.

“What of it?” 

His ears twitch as he listens to Jack roll around on the grass and hum to himself. 

“I don’t know,” The winter spirit begins, “It’s only been a few months since Easter, do you really need to be working so much right now?”

Aster reaches for a new egg to paint, nodding approvingly to himself as he admires his freshly made googie as it waltzes off to the others he’d worked on that day. 

“Trust me, mate, this is nothing.” 

“Alright, alright, I’ll take your word on it.”

Their conversation dies down after that, but Aster finds he doesn’t mind as much as he probably would a few years ago. It’s comforting, and he’s enjoying himself and the time him and Frost are spending together.

Especially when he’s able to just sit back and mindlessly paint eggs out in the serenity of his warren.

There’s more gentle rusting above. Jack’s probably playing with the grass again, he thinks to himself, but his thoughts are cut short when a delicate cool touch grazes the shell of his ear.

Aster flicks his ears forward and spins around to stare bewilderedly up at the winter spirit, who’s doing nothing to hide the satisfied smirk across his lips.

“Oi-! What do ‘ya think you’re doing?” He asks, and Jack shrugs down at him from where his arms are crossed beneath his chest.

“Did you know your ears twitch every time you’re listening to something?” He says instead, and Aster feels his fur raise slightly with embarrassment for having been so easily read. The movements are involuntary, it’s not like he notices them half the time.

“What else ‘ya expect them to do? Stay still?” 

Jack simply shrugs again, and Aster turns around to adjust himself to as he were before; albeit skeptically. 

His ears are,, sensitive. It’s not normally an issue for grabby hands when he stands tall over others. It was just surprising, to say the least, to feel something against them that wasn’t his own touch.

He’s a few patterns through an egg when Jack touches his ears again. 

He almost drops the egg with the way his body jolts.

This time, the spirit chuckles when he turns around.

“Very funny, mate. Now stop it.” Aster forewarns, and raises the hand he’s using to hold his paintbrush threateningly.

Jack drops his head into his arms as his laughter quiets down, “Yeah, yeah, I got it.” 

Aster wills his ears to stop moving. Frowns at his precious ‘lil googie and focuses all of his attention to staying as still as possible. Ironic to his previous statement.

He shouldn’t be getting as flustered as he currently is. Especially with Frost only poking his ears twice. Twice.

He knows Jack’s intentions are nothing more than to mess with him, but why did it have to be his ears of all places. Why couldn’t it be his eggs, or his bloody boomerang?

Aster stares down at his incomplete egg vehemently.

Jack rustles around on the grass once more and Aster flicks his ears back to the sound. But just as fast as he’d done it, and realizes so, cool fingers find their way against them and he yelps.

Dropping his brush and egg, the pooka circles round and hops over the ledge, tackling the nag. Jack’s laughing, uncaring of Aster’s predicament and his fur raises again.

“I said ‘ta rack off.” He fumes, and he can feel Jack’s limbs squirm beneath his hold; restless.

“I’m-!”, chuckle, “You-!”, more chuckles, and Aster’s cheeks bristle as his ears slope down once more.

When Jack finally catches his breath between laughing and trying to speak coherently, his eyes travel across Aster’s features and his jaw drops slack.

“Oh my god. You’re embarrassed.”

Aster tenses, “ ‘m not.”

The corners of Jack’s lips spread wide as his smile broadens.

He barks out a laugh, “You so are! I thought I was just annoying you! This- this is so much better.”

“Wha-!” Aster shakes his head profusely, clearly befuddled and aghast to the entire situation, “How is this better? There’s nothing going on here.” He lies. 

“No need to be so shy, Bunny.” Jack taunts below, which has Aster flustering for yet another reason now, “What’s got your tail in a bunch?”

Huffing through his nose, Aster leans back onto his haunches, making space between them and to free Jack from his grasp. 

He looks away and off to the side, and Jack sits across him nonchalantly. 

“C’mon, it’s just me. I won’t spill a word.”

He has a fair point, Aster thinks to himself. He doesn’t have a reason not to trust Frost, admittedly. 

Aster scrunches his nose stubbornly before muttering, “ ‘m ears are sensitive.”

There’s no immediate response, and the pooka redirects his gaze to see Jack puffing out his cheeks with an exhale, his own gaze averted now.

“What?”

If Jack has something to say, he better say it right or else he’s up and leaving before the bloke embarrasses him any further.

Jack runs a hand down his cheek and Aster notices the thin layer of frost that’s wiped away with the motion, “It’s nothing! It’s just- that’s actually really adorable.”

“Adorable??” he sputters, and Jack flies back onto the grass in yet another fit of laughter. Aster doesn’t know if he wants to pull out his hair or hide in a hole. “I am not bloody adorable.”

“Yes! You are! You’re such a rabbit oh my god- I can’t breathe-”

Aster’s two seconds away from tackling the spirit again when Jack collects himself enough to say, “Sorry I touched them, I won’t do it again.”

He blinks, and curses the way his fur stands to no end.

“ ‘ya don’t have to apologize. I was just surprised, is all. Maybe,, ask next time.”

Jack smiles, “Okay, I will.”

okay okay luigi's mansion 3 review let's go

spoilers prolly

like. I CAN BARELY FIND ANY FLAWS IN THE GAME OTHER THAN SM UNCLEAR DIRECTIONS WEIRD DIALOGUE AND THESE TWO CHARACTERS WHO I'LL MENTION IN HERE EVERYTHING ELSE IS AMAZING

the story concepts, character concepts, character development, and plot points are GOLDEN (excluding hellen gravely who was. weird. her cat had better character than her). even with characters who barely appeared such as mario who only got one or two scenes at the very beginning and end (at least I learned a thing or two abt his character) and polterpup from the previous game(s) got a whole new character role (they went from being a puzzle nuisance to being a guide) and was SUPER CUTE bc PUPPY. and they even got to be implicated into functions of the game such as the golden bones which revive you with full hp after dying. the only bad characters were hellen gravely who had a certain archetype which was weird in the yk obsessive way and it was a lil overdone and I'm p sure there was also a black woman stereotype but she wasn't horrible and didn't have any lines so there's not much goin on there

the animations and cutscenes were like I already said EXTREMELY smooth and high-quality. it's even been said on articles that luigi's mansion 3 is the game that made luigi the most expressive and honestly I strongly agree with that. the cutscenes had almost perfect lighting and bgm and luigi's facial expressions and even mouth animations were on point

EVEN THE STORY PROGRESSED NICELY LIKE. there was a lot of build up and p much anyone could know what was coming before you entered 15F (the final lvl. although the floor design and implications were p weird it was still rlly pretty n nice) and it wasn't that repetitive at all; other than going from floor-to-floor-to-floor and so on most of thetime you got an elevator button. unexpected events were also rlly well thought out and placed into the storyline nicely

the puzzles are creative and vary nicely in difficulty in each floor. sm require different functions of the poltergust and googi and even surrounding items or in a few of the lategame puzzles; another character. the way they tell you you're going the right way is easy to see yet subtle and the puzzles that go along with them you usually do have to think for but you'll notice they're clever when you do figure them out

the music n sfx are rlly cool as well. they're rlly unique and put at good volumes and if you only had played a few lvls on one of the games and heard the music you'd prolly know that it was from somewhere in the luigi's mansion series

SO YEAH overall rlly good game 10/10 highly recommend playing it

The Power Couple - maknae line

Pairing: maknae line member x reader

Wordcount: 1.0k words

Genre: (hinted/mild) smut, fluff, (JK’s a tiny bit angsty but also humour), 

Rating: suggested 18+

Hi, I’m finally back with the maknae line version. I thought I would have loved to explore how the couple would interact in more public situations, especially when under pressure because of fan, photographers and press, what kind of vibe would they emit, what they would do, whether they felt nervous etc.  TRIGGER WARNINGS: smut, only mentioned or suggested, with some mildly kinky stuff going on in Jimin’s scenario (that boy is filthy as hell), Taehyung is in Love™️, please don’t kill his vibe (and don’t bite his head off), softest angst in Jungkook’s piece, slight invasion of privacy, insecure Googie who wished he were a normal boy feat. mild exhibitionism and very loving Lowkey Kinky girlfriend. 

Enjoy!

Here you can find the hyung line

And here you can find my masterlist

Jimin

The first thing you noticed was the fans, phones out, recording and snapping pictures of you.

The second thing you noticed was the little groups of celebrities, influencers and models chatting, exchanging greetings and fashionable “bisoux”. It actually intimidated you.

“Don’t worry about those. We steer away. I’ll just say hi to a few friends. You’ll like them, they’re not that bad.” He said with a teasing grin.

You were at Paris Fashion Week, attending Chanel’s special runway, with your amazing boyfriend. He had personally styled your look, your matching apple green skirt and jacket paired with a plain white t-shirt. At your feet a very daring combination of white ankle socks and black leather loafers. On your slightly tanned skin -- thanks to your holiday together -- the palette of colours looked absolutely amazing, giving you a fashionable but also a classic look. His signature all-black look today was made of skinny black pants, a sleeveless turtleneck tucked in and, just like you, black leather loafers.

You were actually pretty glad he had that turtleneck in his luggage: explaining the bruises on his neck would have been impossible. Paris, Jimin and champagne were a deadly combination for your libido and it had been sheer luck that you had managed to exit the room this morning. You had spent the last twenty hours or so in bed, macarons delivered to your suite together with wine and chocolate covered strawberries. As if you hadn’t just spent a week in the middle of nothing, on a private island, enjoying nothing but each other, someplace where Jimin could just hang out naked all day long, being nothing but your pet, making as much noise as he wanted. And you had enjoyed listening to his every whine and scream. It had been amazing.

Coming back to civilization had made you jumpy, and seeing him back to his usual social butterfly personality slightly ticked you off. Your own personality didn’t quite fit the socialite in the spotlight, and you weren’t absolutely comfortable with the way everyone seemed focused on the two of you.

The photographers kept calling his name and he kept stopping for them, looking at you with nothing but sin in his eyes, his intentions unmistakeable. He let his fingers dance on your inner wrist, knowing how that makes your skin tingle and your nerves catch fire.

How could you possibly let that brat go unnoticed? Of course you would remember this for later, when you'd be back to your room. Still, when he stopped once more, putting his hand on your waist, you latched your thumb on one of his back belt loops, the rest of your hand spread wide on his glute and hip. The half coy, half obscene smirk on his face made you melt a little more, and you felt embarrassed that such a small thing had you actually turned on. He bit his lip. Little teasing brat.

You entered the venue after a few greetings to glossy-haired, glass-skinned demigods, wide california smiles plastered on their faces, beautiful and scary. Jimin was polite as usual, dismissing some guys with a cold, formal manner. As you sat on front row, he bent to your ear, grazing your earlobe with his plump lips. “You look beautiful. The only true queen out there.” He nuzzled in your hair. “Can I put my hand on your leg or will you drag me to the closest bathroom to eat you out?”

“You are walking on very thin ice, Jiminie.” You replied before laying your hand heavily against his knee, your fingers reaching for his inner thigh. Distracted by your touch he didn’t notice the way you leaned in. “Enjoy sitting while you still can, baby brat.” You smiled innocently, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.

“Oh, come on, what did I do?” Your conversation went on undisturbed, no one around there understanding his native language, except for the bodyguards, who were otherwise occupied, or who were not interested in your anthem.

“I’ll make you a list once we’re in our room.” Once more he used his flirty smile on you. “And trust me, no chance of you getting away with it this time.” You continued.

Suddenly you were interrupted by a photographer, asking you for a picture. You posed with a kind smile on your face, Jimin’s arm around your shoulders. “Big smile, kitty.” You said, before the flash lit up and caught him midlaugh, cutely collapsing on your shoulder. The photograper took a few more pictures, thanking you and moving on.

He recomposed himself, drawing closer this time. You grabbed his chin with two fingers delicately. You could only imagine what everyone could think of the two of you. “Do you have any idea how much I love you?” You asked, a little roughly.

He giggled flirtatiously. You figured all the macarons must have made him sweetly poisonous. “You must love me a lot.” He put his hand on your thigh, contrary to your warnings. “But I love when you manhandle me a little.” He started kneeding on the soft flesh there. “So I really hope you’ll give me the punishment you’ve promised me later--” he stopped and exhaled sinfully, “-- mommy.”

For the rest of the show he was restless in his chair, impatient to have you again.

Taehyung

“Oh my god, Namjoon will bite my head off if we’re late.”

“Is my lipstick okay?” You asked panicked.

He came up close, staring at your lips. “You’re incredible. It’s perfect.”

“I should have bitten your head off.”

“Such a shame you love it.” He commented with an arrogant smile. He helped you up and leaned against your ear. “You love both of them.” He said, tucking himself in and fixing his clothes.

Of course he was right. Of course you were just done taking him in your mouth, trusting him enough not to mess your dress. It was an avalanche of deep blue chiffon. Tonight you were attending a charity event in a popular art gallery celebrating the opening of a new building for recreational use. Your dress resembled the dark twirls of Van Gogh’s starry skies, punctuated with small rhinestones; Taehyung had bought it for you, leaving it on your bed before you got ready for the event. When you had seen it you had felt slightly conflicted between your own pick and his choice, but seeing his own blue silk tuxedo, you gave up any hesitation, slipping into the dress -- which unsurprisingly fit you perfectly -- after letting him choose your underwear first.

“Do I look messed up?” You asked again, at which he fixed a loose strand of your hair delicately before bending down to kiss you. The kiss wasn’t chaste at all.

“I wished we had more time...” He commented, accompanying you to the ensuite and turning you towards him, fixing your makeup under your eyes and on your chin.

“Do you think they’ll notice if I get under your dress during dinner?” He grinned and tapped a humid towel around your mouth, kissing you once more.

“Depend on whether I can keep a straight face or not.” You caressed his face and caught his wrists.

“Well, then we’re fucked.” Yeah, his head game was that strong. No keeping a straight face at that. And he knew.

You laughed together at that. You looked at yourself in the mirror. “God, I need to know what lipstick she used. It’s still there. No smudge, no stain. It’s perfect.”

“That’s because you’re perfect.” He kissed your forehead. “Let’s go. They’re gonna kill us.”

“We’re not that late. Plus I’m sure we can still beat Jimin.” You grabbed your purse on the way out of the bedroom.

“Wait babe.” He said, “I--” He had been distracted. This should have gone in a very, very different way.

You stilled, waiting for him to talk. “Tonight might be difficult.” He wished he had been patient. He wished he had more time. The plan was to give you something that might keep everyone off you. Insecurity invaded him. All the men who would be seeing you tonight… The small box felt heavy in his hand. “And I--” God, he had a talk, a whole discourse. “Just, it’s not like-- I intend to do this properly, sometime in the future. This is just-- A promise thing. I want us to wear these.” He fumbled with the lock, his eyes blowing wide open as the box fell to the floor and a tinkling sound echoed in the hall.

You threw yourself at it, noticing the thick platinum band covered in blue shiny stones rolling on the floor. You saved it right before it hid under the wardrobe.

In the meantime he had clutched the box to his chest, protecting the other half of the pair with his body.

You smiled widely. Rings. Actual rings.

“It’s not like, wedding. Though I absolutely intend to. I mean, to propose. Not today.” He sounded like a broken record, his words interrupted and mechanic. “It means I love you, and you got me, and I got you. That’s all.” He looked like a lost puppy.

"Come here, darling." You say quietly.

He looks absolutely terrified, approaching you like you were about to punish him.

"I love you. And I really hope that someday we will be wearing another kind of matching rings." You kissed his scrunched brow. "Let me put this on you, yes?"

He offered you his hand.

"I don't want to promise too much. I can only promise that I'll always take care of you, protect you and be loyal to you." You slipped his band on.

"Uhm--" He fumbled with the box some more until you held it for him as his shaking hand took off the ring. The thin circlet was lined with small blue crystals, dominated by a bigger stone of the same colour. The overall blue theme was really soothing, and it was also what kept it from looking too much like a proposal ring.

"____, I promise you to give my heart to you, and to hold yours with care, I promise to stay close to you and love you as long as you allow me to." His voice was deep but slightly shaking, which made you really emotional.

You offered him your hand, helping you wear the ring.

You observed how it fit you. You knew it wasn't sheer luck. He probably had taken one of your rings for measurements.

You smiled at him and intertwined his hands. "Joon is going to kill us."

"He's a sucker for romance, he'll probably get teary eyed." He commented. Taehyung kissed your cheek. "Let's go, I've got a beautiful girlfriend to show to the world." His smile was radiant.

Jungkook

"Baby, can you please come?" He called you to the sofa. Probably he just wanted some company while he was playing games. Maybe he just wanted someone to play with.

You reached the end of the corridor leading from the bedrooms to the open space living room. "What's up Koo?"

"Look."

A gossip TV-show was talking about the two of you and your recent holiday.

"The couple was spotted in an exclusive resort in Thailand, the BTS member spoiling his partner with a sweet summer getaway. As you can see they had plenty of time for some steamy romance on the beach." The description was accompanied by a small clip of you kissing, water lapping around your calves, the whole picture absolutely innocent and appropriate, and of course the press had to spice things up, exaggerating everything about the two of you. "The sweethearts have also been caught sharing a bit more than an innocent smooch during a canoeing excursion." And of course you weren't canoeing, but rather paddle boarding, you resting your head on Jungkook's chest as you basked in the sun. These people were outright ridiculous.

"They must be desperate for a scoop." You commented, sitting beside Jungkook, as he cuddled into you. "Are you okay baby?"

"I'm just thinking what if we had been less careful?"

You kissed his head and caressed his hair softly. "But we were careful."

"I almost fucked you on the beach." He lifted his head from his chest.

"Having a hard on and pressing it against my bum while kissing my neck is hardly almost fucking, Koo." You touched his neck and shushed him back towards your bosom.

"We've been dating publicly for like a month and we've already been on the news four times."

"God, the strip club scandal was exhilarating." You reckoned.

"The whole picture was a work of art." He commented. "After the fright I kinda hoped I could meet the one who photoshopped it."

"Do you think they could send us a copy? It looked so hot," you said appreciatively.

"You looked so hot, with that cliché pink bob cut." He looked up at you from under his lashes.

"Got a new kink, baby? Stripper role play?" You smiled teasingly.

He blushed violently. "Not really. But you really looked hot with that hair." He toyed with your loose locks. "Even though I love your hair long."

"I can only wonder why." You let him in his comfort zone, still cuddling him.

"And then that time they spotted us outside the hotel."

"As if we needed an hotel to get laid." He said, half disappointed.

"And I was wearing your sweater, don't forget the kinky detail." You joked as he broke in giggles. "'Cause of course, if I'm wearing your sweater we must have done the nasty."

He started laughing even more. "Done the nasty, God that actually broke me."

"Next time we meet for lunch with my parents we'll tell them we're doing the nasty." You murmured in sarcasm.

"My mother called me that night asking me why I was taking you to an hotel when we've been sharing an apartment for almost a year." He said. "I told her we were there to meet your parents. She said she was glad I could get laid at my place."

You both exploded in laughter. His mom is great.

"Did you tell her you tried to corrupt me on a beach in Thailand?" You joked some more.

"Fuck, she'd laugh her eyes off." He kissed your breastbone innocently.

"They love making a fuss about us." You commented, combing his hair delicately.

"I don't understand why they can't let us be. If I want to take you bare against my window that's our fucking business. Wanna get naked in a private beach in the middle of nowhere, fucking let me!" He was getting upset and he sounded so absurdly cute.

"Bare against a window, uh?"

He blushed to the tip of his ears, half frustrated, half shy.

You loved his cute slip ups, when his more dominant persona jumped out.

"It's-- You know, we don't have to do it, I was just saying it as a joke." But his shy expression said otherwise.

"I don't oppose to it." You replied quietly.

He shuddered a little, but changed the topic of the conversation. "Sometimes I just wished it only the two of us. I wished we could just be two kids twenty and in love."

You already knew what he would say next. "No, I just want this strange normality with you. No other man could love me like you, you know it. And I don't want anything but you. But this."

This time you ignored all the sweet pressing of lips for an intense kiss, mouth against mouth, your hand already insinuating under his sweater.

"I promise you I'll find a more private location next time we go in holiday." He murmured, his voice covered in guilt.

"It's okay. As long as you're okay with it. We're a power couple. They can't help but watch."

"You looked incredible with that bikini, it would have been a shame if they didn't look." He kissed your jaw.

He meditated in silence for a couple seconds. You waited for him to drop his idea. "Do you think they'll see if we do the nasty in our balcony?"

You both laughed out loud. "Let's go."

can you do a post about jungkook as a boyfie?

We're gonna go with HC 🥰 if you'd like a tarot reading on this though, I'll happily add it to the list 💜

Just like last time, I'll go by what I feel and things that have been stated before that I agree with 💜

As a boyfriend:

The best friend boyfriend

Hands down

No questions asked

I'm not budging on this

You're going to be best friends first and a couple second

You're that post that says "No one ever told me marriage was living with your best friend"

Cause it's never stagnant in your house

Unless it's morning

In which case he's either just going to bed

Or has half his body and weight on top of you while breathing in your face during sleep

"Are we making breakfast? Or eating out?"

"Never mind, let's go back to sleep"

The only time this boy is actively living is when the moon rises (no pun intended)

Then he makes plans on what he wants to do

Gaming

Arcades

Amusement parks

Concerts

THEN asks what you want to do

Trust though, he'll let you know if he's really, really, really, really excited for the new arcade place down the street

He likes when you're with him though

You'll never hear him admit it (unless you need to hear it)

In which case it's "I can't go alone anymore, without seeing you nearby or having you there to cheer me on, it's just not the same."

"I'm always wondering what you're doing, are you eating the good snacks without me? Have you started a new show without me?"

Please, do us and googie all a favor

If he wants to go somewhere, just go with him so he can actually enjoy himself

Physical affection:

Likes hand holding

A lot actually

You have to initiate it a lot at first

But after some time has passed, he grabs one of your hands just to look at it when he's bored at meetings and Dr visits

He likes when you kiss him on his cheek

He's never said it

But you can tell, it's in the way he smiles afterwards

The smirk that turns into a silent chuckle

Do you think it makes him feel appreciated? Like that A++ you get on your paper?

The one you stayed up all night to finish

Yeah, that's it, feeds his little Leo moon

Give him kisses often

They're his LVL UP

You thought we were done with you?

HA

Nice try, just getting started

You know that annoying boyfriend who pulls your hair when it's in a ponytail?

Or the one who goes to feed you but eats it instead?

How about the one who mimics you when you're annoyed at him

Yeah, you getting the visual now?

Good. Cause that's Jungkook

That's what you're dating now

You spend your Saturday nights locked in the bathroom taking ugly selfies of each other and saving them as your phone lockscreens

Throwing popcorn at each other during Netflix and chill and flicking board game pieces at each other like grade schoolers

Dammit, we get it you two, stop flirting 😩 some of us are still single

But when you're really sad

Like, not even chocolate can fix sad

Look out, he becomes a completely different man

Notice how I said man

He's rubbing circles in your back cause he remembers you like that

Hanging on to every word you'll give him

Buying all the fluffiest and biggest stuffed animals cause that works in the movies, right?

No, no, no, this will not do

Was it something he did? Fuck if he knows, he's just a mess trying to figure out how you two went from having a good time to you being a mess under the covers

He slides under the covers with you eventually

Stares at you all pitiful with those big doe eyes and whispers an "I'm sorry" while kissing your forehead, cause he remembers you like those too

You'll hug him and he'll like that, a lot, even takes a deep breath of relief cause he was seriously considering calling his hyungs or eomma

He likes playing with your hair, especially when he doesn't know what to say or do, but still wants to be with you

He'll stay with you till morning if needed, fall asleep hugging you if needed

Listen, he just really loves what you two have and doesn't want that to change

So don't scare him like this cause he nearly shit himself worried you were going to leave him

He'll only admit this when he's being cute, but he's your bunny, so treat him well

I'ma literally be here all day, these things are just the tip of the surface. He's best boy okay? Tagging @vorejeon because it's baby. But I hope you enjoy and thanks for letting me decide 🥰

I'm open to NSFW stuffs too 👉👈
