Would you be friendly with a fang-bearing fellow?

[noonaishere]

Online/Offline [C.S] - eighty-six | give him the ol’ UwU

He turned around and stood. “Y/n, hi.”

You remembered his face from the picture, and now in three dimensions, he looked exactly as you thought he would: passably attractive like any rando you might walk past on the street. The kind of face someone could consider being really good looking if his personality was funny or kind or both... but instead he was a harasser, deciding to be the worst kind of man. It permeated his features, in your mind at least, giving him an unsettling undercurrent that gave you the fucking creeps. To think that someone could look so normal and be doing anything but.

You could feel the microphone shift against your body and you found yourself wishing you had taped it to your skin like a police informant in a mob movie. You hoped the fabric moving didn’t obscure any speech. 

You smiled. “Have you been waiting long?”

“No, not that long.”

You gestured to the bench he had been sitting on. “Shall we sit?”

He nodded awkwardly and sat. You sat next to him, but a few inches away.

“I’m glad we could meet up like this.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. You’re actually talking to me.” You smiled.

He smiled a small smile and looked away.

“So… was getting here difficult for you?”

He turned back. “No, I drove.”

“Oh. I took the bus.”

He nodded.

“Um… are you nervous to meet me?”

“A little.”

“Why?”

“I… never thought I could talk to you.”

“You talked to me in the café a few times.”

He nodded.

“So why is this different?”

He shrugged.

“You were able to talk to me then.”

He was quiet for a few minutes. You didn’t want to force him and possibly scare him off, so you sat and waited.

“Your boyfriend told me to leave.”

“Well… we had just started dating and you were making me nervous by coming in and just looking at me--”

“I was making you nervous?” There was a slight edge to the question.

“You-- you kept coming in to look at me and didn’t say anything at first.”

He looked at you.

“Don’t you think it’d make you nervous if someone did that to you?”

“Maybe.”

His body language indicated that you might have been turning him off.

“But… we’re talking now. So thank you for fixing it.”

He looked at you again. 

You smiled

“You’re really thanking me?”

You had to try and crack him. You knew you had a few cards you could pull. Card Number One: you did your best try at acting like a demure anime girl. You looked surprised at first before nodding with a shy smile.

“Why?”

“Well…If you want to be friends, this is how to be friends, right?”

He watched you quietly.

“You have to… actually talk to someone to be friends with them… right?”

He looked away and considered this.

You weren’t sure when to push for the confession, but you felt you had to take this slow.

“Then why don’t you talk to me when I talk in chat?”

“But I have before.”

“Before,” he emphasized. “But not lately.”

“Well, that’s because--”

“Because you had a boyfriend.”

“Well, yeah, I couldn’t talk to you if I was with him. What would he think?”

He frowned and looked away again. “You still could have talked to me.”

“Would you rather I be disloyal?”

He turned back to you.

“Should I be the kind of woman who dates one man and talks to others?”

He was silent.

Card Number Two: manipulation. You hated doing it, but the Terror Triplets were your teachers all through school and you would use what you learned from them now.

“If I were your girlfriend, would you want me to talk to other men?”

He shook his head quickly. “No.”

You’d have to send them a fruit basket when this was all over.

You smiled. “See?”

He nodded slowly. “But… it would have been okay if you only talked to me.”

Hypocrite. Fine, Card Number Two again, if that’s what he wants, he can have it.

You smiled. “Well, I guess I could have… because it’s you.”

“Because it’s me?”

“Because you’ve been following me for so long.”

“I have…”

“I… I should have realized and made you a mod.”

His eyes lit up.

“I’m sorry for not realizing that.”

“You should have.” 

Card Number Three: agree with everything he says. You averted your eyes to your lap and faked sadness.

“I know, I should have.”

He nodded, confidence from the café seemingly returning. “I wouldn’t have had to find out who you were if you just talked to me.”

This is it. “How did you find out?--”

His eyebrows raised. Too far, you’re going too far. You combined all three cards into an attack you hoped would devastate him. 

“--I… I thought I hid myself so well from everyone.” You giggled. “I was just so… impressed.”

He looked at you.

You blinked demurely before pretending to be shy and turning away. Send his ass to the Shadow Realm.

You could hear him shift on the bench as he moved closer.

“I… I found an old account you had and it had a picture.”

BINGO. 

“You were beautiful.”

You did not care what he was saying at this point. 

“I fell in love with you.”

Never mind, maybe you did because: EW. If it was an old account that meant you were like, seventeen in the pictures; that’s fucking disgusting. You hid your displeasure and turned around.

“Really?” You asked with your best anime innocence.

“Mhm,” he nodded.

“How did you find me here in Seoul?”

“I used the geodata on the picture of Morn’s cat.”

“Wow, you’re so smart.” You smiled.

In your brain you were screaming internally. You hated that you hadn’t thought to scrub the data in the file itself. You wanted to lunge at him and strangle him with your bare hands, but you couldn’t. Not just because you needed the full confession - of which you realistically figured you had about 75% of - but because he was a lot bigger than you. Realistically, you didn’t know if you could.

You looked away again before looking back. He seemed to enjoy the drama. “But…”

“Can I ask you something?”

If he asked you out…

“Will you please go out with me?”

You blinked. You screamed internally. You blinked again. You had to back up. Plan B. Which you didn’t have.

“O-Oh.” You stammered.

His expression changed. Confusion.

“I don’t know if I can…”

“Why not?”

His voice sounded slightly dangerous, like he wanted you to think about your choice carefully before answering.

You looked at him blankly for a moment before smiling. 

“Because…” You let your voice drop back to its normal register, “How could I Iove a man who would do such things to me?”

“What?” 

He looked across your features before his expression took on one of anger. His hand found your forearm and gripped you there.

“What do you mean?”

“Ow…”

“What do you mean?”

Song #69

Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos

It was released on October 16, 2015

Fun Fact: The soldier embodies an undying fight for justice and truth, while the poet epitomizes the beauty of emotions, words and sentiments. The king is the embodiment of righteousness, leader of all the virtues, and defender of integrity. The song’s lyrics come directly from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. It speaks of how faith gives us strength, reminding us that we don't have to choose between being soldiers for justice or being poets. Instead, it is a call to be both. With faith and moral courage we can do hard things, bringing justice and beauty into this world. (this isn't a confirmed meaning but best I could find- Mod Secret)

[smok3inm1rrors]

I was tagged by @igotsnothing over two weeks ago whoops. I saw it went “I should do that” then completely forgot about it. But better late than never!

1. What’s your favourite sims death? Either death by satellite from TS2 or the skydiving one from TS1, entirely because of the “Whee!” at the end of it.

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match? A mix of the two.

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? I usually don’t even notice when they gain weight.

4. Do you use move objects? Yes.

5. Favorite mod?. Aside from MCC + UI Cheats it’s between Language Barriers by Frankk, RPO and Talents and Weaknesses by Lumpinou.

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? Get To Work

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?  aLIVE

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

Kathleen “Kit” Jones (Her name inspired from that "Kitchenaid Whiskey Jones" tweet). She's been around in some form as an OC since 2016.

She is also the sim in my pfp.

I want to do some gameplay/story hybrid with her (and other sims of my own) but that would mean...playing the game and not just using it as a substitute for drawing...

9. Have you made a simself? Back in 2016/7. Probably never again.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself? TS3 traits because I like them better. Adventurous, Love the Outdoors, Brooding, Unlucky, and Artistic.

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color? The color wheel. Dark Brown.

12. Favorite EA hair? This one from Get to Work.

13. Favorite life stage? YA. The only life stage.

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? I liked building in TS2/3 but could never get into it in 4. 

15. Are you a CC creator? I’ve done poses and recolors. I’m currently doing the “Fuck around, Find out” method of learning meshing. I should probably watch a tutorial.

I also know Python (Studied C.S in uni, which means fuck all really) and have confidence that I’ve used enough HTML to figure out XML, so destroying the game from the inside out is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I have ideas that range from adding “Wish for a baby with…” and “Wish for Pregnancy/Wish for Pregnancy with…” to the Wishing Well for all your magical conception needs and story plot purposes, to figuring out how to add a whole “Spirit of the Wishing Well” NPC for also story plot purposes, to straight up overhauling spellcaster's alchemy to be more like TS3 alchemy.

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? Nope. I’m not introverted, shy, or socially awkward (socially incompetent maybe), I’m just bad at using social media hah.

17. What’s your favorite game? Right now it’s Breath of the Wild. I like bullying the guardians for fun.

18. Do you have any sims merch? Nah.

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims? Nope.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

I used to try and be more story focused when the game first came out. I’m one of those TS2 Wants/Fears dictate the game players and while you can do that in TS4, it’s not as satisfying. Now I play it as an unholy mix of "Soap Opera Simulator 2014" and "How far can I take min/maxing the sims" .

21. What’s your Origin ID? I don't have anything of interest on there.

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator? 

sforzcc, Peacemaker, awingedllama, Sentate, Rusty, Johnnysims, simstrouble

It’s not cc but florwalsims and windbrook for their builds/saves as like many of you, I’m tired of playing in suburbia.

23. How long have you had a simblr? Not long, I lurked awhile before posting though..."awhile" being a year.

24. How do you edit your pictures? I use Clip Studio Paint. I’m too lazy to *ahem* photoshop and I have it for drawing purposes anyways. 

Usually it’s just using different blending modes (multiply, overlay, soft light, glow dodge my beloved) and special effect brushes.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? 

Expansion: Get Together. I’ve used the club functionality in nearly every save I’ve played.

Game Pack: Vampires, Realm of Magic, Werewolves. Not because they’re particularly good but because I’m a sucker for occults.

Stuff Pack: Paranormal. Again occults, but this one also has an acceptable amount of gameplay in it. I’m surprised they didn’t try to pawn it off as a game pack. 

26. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? I'll get Growing Together when it's 50% off. However if before then EA gets too goofy with what remains of TS4, (TS5 is going to be ""free"" to play, it's already fucked.) I'll probably just you know what the rest of the game. EDIT: I wrote this last night. After seeing that job opening for the marketing position on Project Rene...haha yeah. Shit's depressing.

I tag: your mom

TNOA’s 100 Verse Challenge - 89/100

Matthew 14:31 “Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. ‘You have so little faith,’ Jesus said. ‘Why did you doubt me?’” (NLT)

Everyone in Cair Paravel and Narnia could clearly see it; King Edmund spoke of Aslan with so much reverence and awe that even hearing the name ‘Aslan’ from the king’s lips would instil the same feeling. 

Those who were around when Edmund first arrived at that camp so long ago would remember the scared little boy with cuts along his face and fear in his eyes. They’d remember the sorrow when his siblings showed up at camp first and announced to Aslan that their middle brother had run off to the White Witch, and they’d remember the anger and horror when the White Witch waltzed into camp demanding the boy’s blood. 

Those brave enough to talk to Edmund about this time in his life would ask “You seem so different from that young boy, what happened?” and Edmund would smile and answer with only “Aslan”. 

Not many people understood what he meant when he said that. Then again, not many people had personally been in the lion’s presence, stood in front of him and had his breath warm the coldest parts of your soul. Not many people had spoken to him and heard the deep, earnest tones that came forth from his huge mouth. Not many people had that experience with him. 

Edmund could remember clearly the words Aslan had spoken to him on that early Spring morning. He could quote Aslan exactly fifteen years later when he was a boy out of the wardrobe and back in England. “You have so little faith,” the lion had said. “Why did you doubt me?” 

If people asked how Edmund had such a strong faith in Aslan, he would say “I didn’t always have such a strong faith in him,” and he wouldn’t talk anymore on the subject. 

But Edmund could also remember the words that buried themselves deep into his heart, the words that had set him free from the Witch’s grasp even before she had come back to claim his blood. The words engraved into his mind forever and always…

“You’re forgiven.”

[matthewgiggles]

Matthew Goode in the Sims 4

Matthew may well never forgive me for this, but oh well... 😅

I have always enjoyed playing the Sims way back since the Sims 2, though it had been a while since I played recently. However with the new EP “High School Years” that just came out for the Sims 4 - I revisited the game and thought : why not add our lovely Matthew Goode as a Sim 🤔 So after quite a few hours in CAS (more like days lol) and with the help of lots of custom content, I think I am finally happy with the resemblance. The real pros would have created a mask in PS and use the 3D model tool, but yeah am not that talented to give that a try. 😂

If you are entirely new to The Sims 4, here’s the official EA website: https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4

I also highly suggest watching the *Let’s Play nightmare legacy challenge* playlist by lilsimie on YouTube, as it’s not only hilarious but gives you a better understanding of what the game is about. 😄🤣

So here we have Matthew as a Sim doing selfies with the celebrities ⭐️ in the game. I mean it was high time Judith Ward got some competition! 🤪

With Matthew as a Sim the storylines possibilities are endless! You can re-tell the story of A Discovery of Witches and play with our favourite 🧛 Matthew Clairmont. Go back in time, and with the help of custom content you can turn any world into the Tudor period and have fun as Matthew Roydon. Create your own Legacy Challenges with Matthew DeClermont as the (immortal) founder and populate the Sims Worlds with vampires 🧛, or do something else entirely!

As I loved The Offer so much, couldn’t resist recreating Matthew as our wonderful Robert Evans.☺️ In a different save file, why not help out Bob become the most famous Sim celebrity and get his name on those posters? 😉 There’s plenty of The Godfather CC already out there too , so again lots of fun to be had! And in build mode, it could be really interesting to furnish and design the interiors with those late 60s and 70s mid-century decor.

And in yet another save file, why not have fun in the 1900s-1950s playing Downton Abbbey (maybe Henry Talbot finds someone else instead of Mary? 🤔) Explore Dancing on the Edge, Brideshead Revisited , The LPPP Society, The Colour Room or turn Matthew into his upcoming new role as C.S. Lewis in Freud’s Last Session. The fact that those brilliant CC creators have already done the hard work with builds and creating period objects and clothing, makes it super easy to just dive right into new storylines for your sims.

DOWNLOAD under the cut

You will need to download the following CC and put these in your mods folder:

golyhawhaw snowpierecer eyes face paint eyes

twistedcat comet eyes non default eyes

soloriya skin details set eyebrow wrinkles

soloriya skin detail eyebags eyebags

remussirion male skin overlay 11

remussirion wrinkles laugh lines eyes 06

remussirion eyebrows eyebrows 12

remussirion eyelashes eyeliner 32

bakalia male stubble facial hair 01

bakalia male stubble facial hair 02 (Matthew Roydon)

sims 4 dub hoop earring single earring (Matthew Roydon)

s-club WM glasses sunglasses v1 (Robert Evans)

s-club WM glasses sunglasses v2 (Robert Evans)

s-club FM glasses sunglasses v3 (Robert Evans)

s-club WM glasses sunglasses v4 (Robert Evans)

Massive thanks to all these fabulous creators, 🙏🏻 so I could at least attempt to make Matthew look somewhat resembling his goode self.

Matthew Clairmont / Roydon : Hair used is from the EP Get to Work

Robert Evans : Hair is from the EP Snowy Escape

In an ideal world Matthew’s hair would need to be a bit darker, but the EA swatches for dark hair 🤦🏼‍♀️. Until the hair slider mod is fixed, this will have to do.

DOWNLOAD SIMS

I can't stress enough the importance of downloading the above ⬆️ Custom Content or they won't look at all the same in game as in the pictures!

Unzip the files into your Sims 4 tray folder.

Matthew Clairmont GoogleDrive

Matthew Roydon GoogleDrive

Robert Evans GoogleDrive

Matthew Clairmont and Matthew Roydon are uploaded in their non-vampire form. So feel free to turn them into vampires once they're loaded into a lot.

use MC Command Center

or open the cheat panel: CTRL +SHIFT+C : type: testingcheats on (ENTER) and then type: traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire (ENTER))

OR just wait until Vlad comes over and turns your sims into vampires 😂

I am personally not a fan of the vampire animations. However with cheats or MC Command Center you can easily flag them as not ageing + immortal. Saves you no longer having to stress whenever they burn 🔥 the kitchen down for the umpteenth time. 🤨

Additional clothing CC suggestions

You don't need any of these to play with the sims, but thought to just mention the following creators:

happylifesims peaky blinders outfit for Henry Talbot Downton Abbey

HappyLifeSims have made tons of exceptionally lovely 1900-50s clothing for all your Downton Abbey / Brideshead Revisited / Dancing on the Edge / The LPPP Society ... needs - so check them out.

mclaynesims male turtleneck suit for Bob Evans

mclaynesims tuxedo suit for Bob Evans

simmieV Brendan suit for Bob Evans

simmieV Levi suit for Bob Evans

belaloallure ed shirt for Matthew Clairmont

belaloallure alister shirt for Matthew Clairmont

pts blazer for Matthew Clairmont

tatyananame suit for males for Matthew Clairmont

sims house classic Men pants for Matthew Clairmont

remaron rolled sleeve for men for Matthew Clairmont

darte77 short sleeve t-shirt (this looks like exact copy of what MG wears as XXX in The Hatton Garden Job)

belaloallure leather pants for Matthew Roydon

myobi medieval bard and cape for Matthew Roydon

kellymarie69 take the black outfit for Matthew Roydon

kiarazurk prince outfit for Matthew Roydon

ssts adventurer set v1 for Matthew Roydon

ssts ruff set for Matthew Roydon

Basically have a browse at The Sims Resource or google any type of clothing you need, and I'm sure a CC creator has already made it.

Also as if I would forget about Finn Polmar! 😍 Give your Matthew Clairmont sim a blue hoodie, a suit or three to wear, some occasional glasses - get him into the lawyer career and BOOM 💥 Storylines aplenty in The Good Wife / The Good Fight world. 😄

If you have any questions, just ask on my twitter account: @nikki_adow (tumblr messages still a problem)

Happy Gaming! 😃

Matthew, I wish I could say am really sorry about this, but that’d be a lie. 😂😇 There’s way too much fun to be had in the game and hours upon hours of entertainment.

So thanks again for providing lots of storytelling inspiration! 👏😁

Hello Captive Prince fandom! 

We think it's a good idea for there to be a space for fans to speak openly about both the Captive Prince series and fandom without having it tied to their names/blogs.

If you’re not happy with this blog, feel free to block the tag #capri anonymous. If there is a specific subject or character you don’t want to see posts about, please block that specific tag. We tag our posts with unique tags (lamen = ldvdoa, captive prince discord server = cpd) so you won’t be sacrificing seeing other fandom posts by filtering out these. To see how posts are tagged, check out our Navigation page.  We do our best to tag every post, but please send us an ask or message if we miss one.

If you'd like to make a submission, please keep these things in mind:

- all submissions should be specific to the captive prince series or its fandom

- we won't be sharing the identity of any submitters (whether your submission is sent anonymously or not, it will be posted anonymously)

- submissions that involve threats or wishing ill on other people are not allowed and will be deleted

- we won't post submissions that mention fans by name or handle, or specific works - e.g. no "i don't agree with @username" or “i love [fanwork]”

- if we get too many submissions with the same sentiment, we might consolidate to avoid spamming

Happy submitting!

A note about 'Fic of The Week'

Due to real life circumstances, I've unfortunately not had the time to read any fanfiction in the last few weeks - meaning I've neglected to post new Fic of The Weeks in that time.

Firstly, I want to apologize, as well as reassure everyone that I will be working this week on solidifying this feature into a guaranteed constant on this blog.

Second, I want to showcase EVERYONE'S favorite fics! So, If you ever come across one you believe should earn the title of Fic of The Week, please send the link my way!

Thanks everyone!

Online/Offline [C.S] - seventy-eight | sharing screens and secrets

“Hello?” Quack asked as you clicked the ‘Answer’ button on the screen.

“Can you hear me?”

“I can.”

You didn’t talk to Quack much via voice, but every time you did you thought she sounded so youthful. You were pretty sure you were around the same age, considering when she started modding for you, but she always sounded so much more cute than her business-like demeanor in texts would have you think.

“Okay, so I’ll share my screen now.”

You clicked over to what she was showing you.

“So, my friend did a bunch of digging, a little hacking, a little asking favors, and this is what she found. Well, the stuff we can legally use in court, anyway.”

“Yeah, I guess we can’t use hacked content as evidence, since hacking is illegal.”

“Mhm.” Quack pulled up a Twitch vod channel that seemed devoted to you.

“What the fuck?”

“This guy is… forget head over heels, he might just be spinning ass over tea kettle down a rabbit hole of love for you.”

There were videos with titles like ‘JGG is the best!’ ‘I’d lick JGGs boots clean if I could AND say thank you!’ ‘JGG loves me?’. 

You noticed the dates of the videos. “--Wait, is this the bottom of the page?”

“Yeah, this is all his old shit. If we scroll up, you can see here…” Quack scrolled up and stopped, her mouse hovering over the upload date of a video. “This is the day you had Morn guest the first time.”

The title was ‘JGG CHEATING ON ME???’ 

Quack clicked on it and clicked to about the halfway point of the video. The background of the video was the stream where you and Morn played together for the first time and he made you play Minecraft with him after everyone left, accompanied by a voice over by the channel owner.

“I just don’t understand-- I’ve been supporting her all this time and then she has this guy on to stream?” His voice broke as he sobbed. “I have spent so much money in her chat, she owes it to me to not invite another man on! I was lenient with Keeho, because they knew each other since they were in high school, but who the fuck is this-- this-- MorningStar? She could invite me-- or anyone else in the chat to play and she invites this man she just met! Whoring herself out for him while he simps after her like a beta cuck with no balls! She’s a--”

Quack stopped it. “I already listened to it once and it doesn’t get better.”

Your hand had been over your mouth in shock as you listened to his rant. You pulled it away. “No, uh… yeah-- I…” You trailed off.

“Are you okay?”

“...What the fuck?”

“Yeah, I know.”

“And he’s the one who’s been leaving all the comments?”

“Yeah, he’s been using a bot farm to do it. My friend shut it down.”

“Tell her I said thank you.”

“I will.”

You were quiet for a few moments as the words you just heard rang in your head like the tinnitus from hearing loss. “Wait… he said he’s been supporting me all this time...”

“If you’re about to ask if I know who he is, I do. Are you ready to see?”

“No, but, yeah.”

Quack clicked a link in the description of his About Me which led to some kind of affiliate link farm page you didn’t understand, then a link on that page, and another, and another, until she opened two in new tabs.

“Okay… I think I need you to take a deep breath before I show you this.”

“Is it that bad? It’s not Morn, is it?”

Quack chuckled. “No, it’s not Morn. But you’ve met the guy before.”

“What?” You whispered.

“Please take a breath.”

You did as she asked, exaggerating it so the microphone would pick it up and she could hear.

“Okay… this is who he is online.” She opened the first tab.

‘TheNicestGuy’ was the channel username that stared you in the face.

“What?” You whispered again. “What the fuck?”

“Yeah.”

“But… he’s been in my chat for forever and never said anything shitty before… has he?”

“Mmm…”

“Has he done something and you didn’t tell me?”

“Normally he engages about as much as most people. Maybe not excited as other chatters like Yuta or Tree, but now I’m thinking that he might have been doing that to mask how he really felt.”

“Wearing sheep’s clothing.”

“Basically. Ever since Morn showed up he’s been doing a lot of ‘dot dot dot’-ing, and I thought it was weird but I don’t talk to him so I wasn’t sure what it meant.”

“Holy shit.”

“Yeah.”

You thought for a few moments. He never seemed weird or out of sorts at all to you. He seemed about as normal as any of your other chat members, like Namhae. 

“Are you ready for the next one?”

“Now I really am scared.”

“It’s…” Quack trailed off.

You sat in silence for a few moments.

“I’m not going to lie. It’s going to be scary.”

“Great...” you said, voice shaking.

“But I have to show you.”

“Yeah, okay.”

“Are you ready?”

“Just do it.”

“This is who he is offline.” She clicked the second link. It was a LinkedIn page. His profile was him smiling brightly in front of a mottled light blue background, the kind of picture a professional takes so they can use it on their social media.

You knew the face.

You knew you knew it.

It was the face of the man who had been showing up to the café for the past few months, and who chased you and San through the downtown area.

Of course you knew his face.

The stalker.

Tears pricked at your eyes as your brain spat out every time he had shown up in the café like a search engine finding every instance of a search term across the internet, and a torrent of anxiety and dread followed behind it all like a dam breaking old concrete and drowning everything in the valley below it. 

“I’m going to throw up.”

“Are you okay?”

“No… is that it?”

“No. This is his old account.”

She opened another tab and navigated to it: it was the page of the guy who took the picture outside of the café you used to work at.

“...Oh my god.”

“I know.”

“Oh my god!”

“I know.”

“How are you so calm right now?! That’s my stalker! He followed me to Seoul!”

“Because when my friend sent me the CCTV footage I got a good look at him, and when she sent me this last night, I recognized him immediately. …I spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to tell you.”

You stood up from your chair and went to pace, but your head was yanked back by the headset wire. 

“Are you okay?”

“I-- I-- I just--”

“I know.”

Tears rolled hot over your cheeks. “What the fuck, Quack? What the fuck?”

“I know.”

“I just… I… I’m sorry for crying.” You fell back into your chair, your legs weak from how the information shook you. You sobbed loudly and inhaled. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for crying.”

“Don’t apologize. Please don't apologize.”

“I just… I can’t believe a person who’s been following me for forever in my chat has been following me in real life! I--”

“Please, Cat, breathe.”

“I-- I can’t! I’m freaking out!”

“Can you call someone? Morn, maybe?”

“No, I can’t…”

“Why not…”

“I just can’t!”

Quack was silent as you cried.

You shoved your headset off and screamed until your lungs exhausted, and you slumped over your desk. Pulling your arms over your head, you laid like that, cheekbone pressed into the desk's hard surface and held yourself, knees pulled up as high as they could go under you. Even if Quack said something to you, you wouldn’t be able to hear it.

This was the worst possible thing that could be happening: he was the weird donor, the cafe picture, the influx of comments calling you a whore, the watching you in person, the chasing you in the dark-- he was all of it. He thought you were his, was that it? He thought he could own you - should own you - just because he donated sometimes? Streaming was a tip-based job; that's like saying that the waiter owes you sex because you tipped 30%. The dates on his page showed that he'd been fixated on you for a long time, but why the sudden ramping up? Was it because you refused his donation months ago? You could never take that much money from someone, it was the kind of amount that made you owe people... was that what he wanted? Did he want  you to owe him so... so what? So he could try to convince you to do something for him? Or...to him? You felt sick all over again.

You cried until the panic subsided and you could finally breathe normally, and when the feelings of terror and horror had finally finished washing over you, it was replaced with something else.

You sat up and grabbed the tissue box nearby and blew your nose. You grabbed another one and dried your eyes. You inhaled deeply and put your headset back on.

“You still there?” You asked.

“Yeah. Are you okay?”

“No.” Your voice was level now. You looked at his face on your screen. “I’m so mad.”

“Mad?”

“Yeah.”

“I thought you were freaking out.”

“I’m done freaking out… I’m mad now.” 

You looked at the picture for a few moments, Quack not saying anything. You weren’t sure what this feeling was, anger? Vengeance? Something in you congealed into a feeling that burned through your tired bones until they were ash, and what grew back in their place was so much more disconnected to the situation and the feelings of sorrow and hurt.

You knew what it was now.

Rage.

“This guy has been disrupting my life for what? Months now? At both of my jobs?” You asked.

“Mhm.”

“He followed me through a move and chased me and my friend around downtown.”

“Yeah.”

“I just feel so mad. I’m so angry, dude.”

“Yeah… that makes sense.”

“I’m just so fucking angry.”

“...What do you want to do?”

“I don’t know… I want him to suffer, because he’s been making me suffer this whole time.”

“Understandable.”

“And like… I want to know why, you know?”

“Yeah.”

You sat in silence.

“You’ve known me for a long time, right Quack?”

“I feel like this is going somewhere... yes.”

You chuckled. “You know I’m not a bitch, right?”

“You’re one of the nicest people I know. Definitely the best boss I’ve had so far.”

“Well thank you: You’re my best employee.”

“I’m your only employee.”

“There’s other mods now.”

“Yeah, but I’m basically their manager and you’re my boss.”

“Have they been working out well?”

“They’re great.”

“Have you heard from Namhae at all?”

“No. I should probably ping him and see what’s up.”

“I hope he’s okay.”

“Yeah, same.���

You nodded, looping your fingers in your headphone cord. “But like… this guy ‘NicestGuy’-- fucking ironic name; why do men who act like shit think they’re god’s gift to the world?”

“A-men.”

“But this guy… he makes me want to be a bitch, you know? All that unhinged, surprising rage that men act like women have but really it’s only surprising to them because they weren’t listening to us the first forty times we told them to leave us alone.”

“Relatable.”

“I… I want to talk to him.”

A beat of silence as she processed what you said. “Cat, are you sure about that?”

You thought, your eyes boring into the pixels that made up his picture on your screen. He looked like a perfectly normal guy, the kind of shmo you’d walk past down the street and never have a second thought about. And yet, all that surface-level normalcy was hiding something so terrible.

“Yeah. I need to ask why. And I want a confession out of him that he did it. I want something the police can’t ignore.”

“You want him to confess?”

“Yeah. I want him to fucking say he did all this and I want to record him and I want him to go to prison.”

She was silent for a moment. 

“Quack?”

“Yeah-- sorry. I was wondering if it would even be possible.”

“Do you think it is?”

“Yeah, I think it might be.”

You nodded, not that she could see.

“I'll tell you what: I’ll talk to my White Hat friend about it, and I’ll see if she has any advice, like, legally.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

“Oh and, don’t tell Morn about this at all.”

“Why not?”

“He might freak out.”

“Shouldn’t he? The guy was stalking you. What if he wants to help?”

“I have some other friends that can help.”

She sighed. “If you say so.”

“Thank you.”

“I’ll let you know what she says.”

“Thanks. And Quack?”

“Yeah?”

“I’m really glad we met all those years ago. You’re not just an invaluable employee, you're a really great friend as well.”

Quack chuckled. “You better stop that or I’ll ask for a raise.”

You laughed. “You’re actually overdue for a raise, I think.”

She laughed again. “We can talk about it when all this is over.”

“Okay.”

“Bye.”

“Bye.”

She ended the call.

You stared at the picture of your stalker. ‘Seo Byungchul,’ his page said. You looked at the smile on his face and wondered when he took the picture. Was it before he was stalking you? It had to be after he started watching your stream, by the age he appeared to be and how long you could remember him being in your chat. You wondered what he was thinking about when he took the picture. You wondered if he thought he was a good person. You wondered if he went to work every day, safe in the knowledge that none of his coworkers knew he was stalking a streamer both on the internet and in real life. You wondered if he stalked anyone else.

Hey Nero,

(I’m not sure if I should call you Nero or not anymore lol)

I’m just letting you know that I’ll be sort of unavailable outside of streaming for a bit. I have some irl shit I need to take care of and it might get a little rocky for everything outside of streaming. 

I’ll definitely let you know when I’m available to edit again though.

See ya round,

Cat

Question! I’m having a tough time deciding if I’m ESTJ or ISTJ, I can’t personally tell with strengths—I use em all the time. What would you say are main WEAKNESSES to look for to help decide between the two?

ISJs have very little interest in discussing heavily Ne topics or anything that doesn’t appear to have some ‘usefulness’ in terms of impact. For example, my ISTJ mother will just shake her head at heavily abstract theologians like Richard Rohr or C.S. Lewis because she is seeking some ‘practical and useful’ theoretical information; she is only interested in MBTI and the Enneagram in so much as she sees how it can help her understand and relate to her loved ones. Inferior Ne isn’t interested in theory for its own sake or what she sees as ‘silly’ conversations. ESJs are more willing to engage with Ne in that respect, and talk about Ne things (abstract concepts, philosophy, theology, etc). Because Ne is at the bottom of their stack, a Si-dom also has a lot of trouble changing their routine or thinking about doing something in a different way that doesn’t involve Te (a more practical way to do it). And under stress, they become impulsive in Ne ways -- leaping on things without carefully thinking about them first, or being ‘naive’ and embracing some weird concept or other. They are very prone to ‘throwing out the baby with the bath water’ if they get frustrated and cannot understand something, or grow tired of it, because inferior Ne isn’t like high Ne -- high Ne gives and shares ideas freely with no attachment to them, but can also filter out good and bad ideas if they stop long enough to think about it.

ESTJs on the other hand have inferior Fi problems -- they are often rigid in their morals and uncompromising, but not quite sure how they feel about things, how to express their love for other people to other people in ways they can understand, not always sure of what exactly they want, or how to process their emotions in times of stress. Personal relationships are somewhat intimidating to them because it implies a need for emotional closeness that many of them aren’t sure how to do; as a result, they can fail to understand their own emotional needs and those of other people, either pushing them to the back burner and substituting ‘duty’ or ‘this is how it works, and this is the payoff’ Te-dom thinking or becoming over-identified with how they feel about someone. Being judging dominants, they are quick to leap into action and take charge, quick to assume other people are incompetent, and highly intolerant of the latter. ESTJs have good Ne in that they are often earthy, funny people -- but they have more rigid of expectations for coworkers and things because they fail to realize how effortlessly THEY can use Te does not mean everyone is capable of that consistent level of decision-making or work ethic.
