lately i've been spending the majority of time i'm in my car just. screaming. Car Screaming (TM) USED to be a sign that i was at the end of my rope but nowadays my body and brain are constantly on fire and there's also an incessant high keening ear-bleeding pressurized shriek pounding against the inside of my skull like the worst EDM beat so when i get into the car i put on an angry heavy metal album and i turn up the volume and i pull out of the parking lot and i begin to scream. and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream. and i keep that up either until i park or i start passing out and need to stop to drive safely. about to leave the house to go on the errands i've been neglecting while migraine and i'm going to scream and possibly cry the entire time. 10/10 do recommend

hi! i love your writing so much! could i request when their s/o who doesn't really vent or complain much finally breaks down? how would skz comfort them? 🥺
𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜 𝔻𝕠𝕨𝕟
or…stray kids reacting to when their s/o who doesn't complain finally breaks down
♩ g/n!reader, hurt and comfort, mostly angst and a little fluff at the end, a lot of crying
♩♩ word count: 2.3k (yeah it's a bit longer than normal hcs)
♩♩♩ A/N: I basically wrote a whole fic on this for chan so I'm just gonna leave a link to that for him
prompt list here (or you can request ur own)
Tumblr media
(don't ask me why some (felix) of these are wayyy longer than others...I just got really carried away lol)
Chan
this chan one-shot I wrote pretty much is exactly this prompt but even more pain (?) so if you want a "break-up then getting back together" with a lot of crying, go ahead and read it! If not, here's a shortened version:
He wasn't someone who would take advantage of your patience, or test it.
But stress could sometimes turn his head.
He hasn't slept well for many days consecutively.
From what his members told you, he didn't seem to be eating properly either.
Today you were a little worried and brought along food you made to the studio, but was scolded by him in front of Changbin and Jisung.
You couldn't stand his reaction, but in order not to let him lose face in front of members, you held back your anger and left his studio in disappointment.
He would immediately notice his fault and properly admit his fault to you.
When he saw you crying, he was about to fall to his knees and slap himself in front of you.
"Don't cry, baby, I know I was wrong, it's all my fault… It's my fault, I shouldn't have spoken to you as I did …… Everything you did was for my own good, how could I not cherish you? I'm just… the worst boyfriend ever ……"
You weren't going to be continuously angry at him either, after all, who could stay angry at Chan?
It's just that for the next many days he'd be extra cautious.
Constantly promising you that he'll never throw his temper on you ever again.
Minho
If Chan never tests your boundaries… All I can say is that Minho tries your boundaries 24/7.
At least, it felt like it.
Sometimes you even felt like he might not love you very much.
(You were very wrong, he just might be the most loving person in the world. It's just unfortunate that he's a tsundere who doesn't want to, and doesn't know how to express it)
You knew he liked to tease others, not out of true malice, it was just a way for him to show closeness.
But sometimes, you still thought sometimes, unconsciously, that there was more to his words.
He sensed something off when you didn't answer him with a smile as usual.
He wanted to apologize immediately, after all, hurting you was the last thing he wanted to do.
But before he could say anything, he heard your sob.
In that moment, it was as if all rationality had left his head.
He rushed up and stopped in front of you, wanting to reach out and hug you, but hesitated.
He didn't know if you wanted his hug right now.
"I'm sorry …… I, I didn't mean it like that ……"
You heard an unprecedented level of apology in his tone.
Only after making sure you didn't reject his physical contact did he gently bring you into his arms.
"Y/N…you know the one thing I can't stand to see is you crying ……"
Changbin
Perhaps because you never really expressed that "you needed him ", he had always thought that you were a rather independent person.
You were independent, but that didn't mean you didn't need him when you were vulnerable.
When you came home today, you didn't know why, but it was as if all the stress and emotions of the past few months had come flooding back.
He was always very assertive in what he did, but at that moment he suddenly didn't know what to do.
He felt a pain in his chest, and wanted to try to do something to make you feel less sad.
He opened and shut his mouth a few times, but he couldn't get a single word out.
He had never seen you like this before, your vulnerable side, needing help.
"Y/N…you still have me, I'm right by your side ……"
In the end, that's all he came out with.
But really, just knowing that he was still there for you was enough.
As long as he could show that he cared about you and wanted to help you, it was enough.
Hyunjin
A fight with Hyunjin was essentially a one-sided complaint from him.
No, calling it a "fight" would be incorrect. After all, he was almost always the only one talking.
You had a good temper and you basically didn't argue with anyone as long as they didn't hit your no-go areas.
With Hyunjin, most of the time he would just ramble on and on, and you thought he was kind of cute when he rambled on like that.
But for some reason, you just didn't like hearing him talk like that this time.
For the first time, you got angry with him, raised your voice, and made a face he hadn't seen before.
He froze for a moment, and a feeling of frustration that came out of nowhere came over him.
He hurriedly turned away, not wanting you to see his damp eyes.
He knew it was his own fault, and that it was you who should be more in need of reassurance right now.
But he couldn't stop his disobeying tears either.
For the first time, he saw you angry, at him.
He was afraid.
You took a few deep breaths and largely eased up.
"Jinnie…? I was… I don't know what just happened to me ……"
The nearly 180cm tall man was holding his own shoulders, sniffling like a frightened little animal.
"I'm sorry ……"
You heard him whisper, so faintly that you almost didn't catch it.
"Jinnie?" "I'm sorry… I'm sorry, Y/N ……"
He turned to you and hugged you, grabbing the fabric on your back and speaking in a weepy voice.
"I'll never do it again… Don't make that face, don't get mad at me, I, I don't want to …… I don't want to see you like this, I'm scared ……"
"Don't be afraid… There's no need to be afraid. I would never do anything to hurt you or really be angry with you. And you know that, right? I love you too much ……"
Not sure how long these words were repeated later before he finally was at ease.
Jisung
You always listened to his troubles, his trivialities, his heart.
But every time it was your turn, he seemed to be busy and always had other "more important things" to do.
In your mind, things about him were the most important things.
But perhaps to him, your worries and heartfelt words weren't very important.
"I sometimes… I don't think you actually care about me much at all."
"……. What?"
When he heard you say that, he felt his heart pause.
How could you think that? What on earth did he do to make you think that way?
He thought you knew that he wouldn't be able to live at all without you.
"If you really did care about me, Jisung, why weren't you ever interested in what was going on with my life? Why do you never come to care about me when I look sad and upset?"
It was the first time he heard you say such words, the first time he heard you express your "need for care".
"It's not that… It's not like that. ….. Y/N……"
He frowned and rushed to your side to hold your face in his hands.
"I care about you, I just …… I was just so stupid, I thought you didn't say anything because you wanted to be on your own- I, I was really stupid. It's really stupid now that I think about it …… I'm sorry, I'm sorry …… I'm so awful, I ……"
If you thought Hyunjin had cried a lot, you must have never seen Jisung cry.
He canceled all his work plans that night and stayed by your side to keep you company.
You two cried like that for hours.
Felix
You didn't want to show your sad side in front of Felix.
He was your little sunshine, always smiling and making your every day better.
You thought you should give him all the good things too, not your tears or bitterness.
But what you didn't realize was that he actually took everything in stride.
Every time you held back, every time you silently sighed, it was like a small dagger stuck in his heart.
In his eyes, your behavior was as if you "did not trust him ".
After he had such thoughts, he began to distance himself from you.
And you weren't stupid, you realized within a few days that something was wrong with him.
You felt as if your little sun was starting to dim.
This only made you even more upset and confused.
You finally couldn't stand it and called out to him when he turned away immediately after seeing you.
"Did I do something wrong?"
His back trembled a little.
"Is it because I've done something wrong that you've been distancing yourself from me?"
"I distanced myself from you?" He turned back to you, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Felix?"
"Am I the one distancing myself from you, or are you the one distancing yourself from me? Y/N, you never complain to me, you don't speak your heart to me, you never rely on me! What do you want me to do if you don't show your heart to me?Y/N…I don't want to let go …… But I feel like I'm the only one in love."
You too finally couldn't help yourself. Your clenched fist trembling.
"I don't complain, I don't speak from my heart, I don't vent negative energy to you because I'm afraid it will affect you! I'm afraid you might get upset because of me …… You are already tired from your work, you don't need more burden ……"
"How can you say your business is burdensome?"
He seemed to get a little angry, walking quickly up to you to stare you in the eye.
You had calmed down somewhat when you saw his expression, but your mouth still started moving on its own.
"I want you to see only the good side of me Felix …… I do this because… Because I know deep down that I'm not worthy of-"
He didn't wait for you to finish your sentence as he immediately cupped your face and pressed his lips into yours, making you swallow back the last bit of that sentence.
Kisses with Felix were always sweet.
But this time it was bitter.
"I forbid you to say that, forever."
"You're going to rely on me and say everything to me. You will let me bear with you all the things between the two of us. I will not allow you to hold back by yourself. And you will definitely not be allowed to say ridiculous things like you don't deserve me."
"Y/N, I don't know how many times I have to say "I love you" before you believe me, but if you need 100 times, I'll say it 1000 times. If you need 1,000 times, I'll say it 10,000 times!"
He really was the sunshine that lit up your life, your little sun.
Seungmin
You were really not a person who liked to complain and thought that everything was something that could be tolerated.
Seungmin, like you, was also someone who basically didn't talk about their troubles and liked to digest them by themselves.
But lately, you really felt like the whole world was your enemy, and Seungmin was the only one on your side.
When he opened the door at night and saw you crying alone on the couch, he was absolutely frozen.
He stood still as if his brain had stopped working.
You thought he would laugh at you and take a picture of your crying face and send it to the rest of the members.
But he came and sat down next to you and hugged you silently.
He knew you were under a lot of pressure lately, from all aspects of your life.
Only when you were at home, when you were with him did you find yourself a last safe haven.
How could he possibly laugh at you at such a time?
Where you couldn't see, his eyes were reddened as well.
"It's funny, isn't it, the way I look now ……"
"Not at all."
He tightened his arm around you, trying hard to make you feel his warmth.
"Seungmin…I just feel so tired ……"
"I know, I know …… You can rest now that I'm here."
Jeongin
He was easily driven by emotions and couldn't stand seeing anyone cry.
But especially when he saw you crying, his tears literally slid down in a flash.
He knew that you like to endure stress by yourself, and he watched in silence.
It is just that he is young, and sometimes doesn't really know what to do in the face of such things.
He wanted to help you, but felt that maybe letting you alone was the right choice.
Only when you broke down like now, did he have the confidence to come to your side.
He gently stroked your back and sobbed himself, but insisted on smoothing your breath.
He rested his forehead on your back, didn't speak, simply stayed by your side.
He wouldn't initiate conversation, but if you did, he would respond to your words competently.
After you were "back to normal ", he asked you cautiously about "what I should do next time if this happens again?"
You were amused by his cute and sincere question and reached out to pet his fluffy head.
Then patiently answered each of his questions.
You asked him, too, what he wanted you to do when he was feeling upset.
He was happy that with this conversation, he got to know you a little better and felt closer to you.

OC Tag -- 25 Questions
Tagged by: nobody, I do what I want (but obviously taken from @tellingscarystories )
Let’s have some fun and talk about our OCs! If tagged, pick the best/most developed OC you have and fill this out!
Rules:
Post these rules.
Answer the questions about your OC below. Go ahead and give more info than just a one-word response!
Tag at least 5 people! (If you don’t have an OC, you should make one and then fill this out *winky face*). You don’t have to be tagged to do this, if you want to do it, tag me so I can see! :D
// I think Tech still stands as my most developed (but it’s only because I’ve had her the longest of any of my currently (semi)active characters.) I might do this again for Lu later?
Questions:
OC’s name: Madelyn Fae Magson / Techno Havoc (/ The Radio Ghost) Fandom (if any): Danger Days Age: Assuming current year as 2027, 22 [can you believe...she was 13(?) the first time I wrote her. My bby. All grown up :’)] Occupation: professional loudmouth Freelance hacker / Rebel
1: Any nicknames?
Oh god, so many. Madelyn naturally got shortened to "Maddy" a lot when she was younger, as well as "Mads" and occasionally (sometimes with negative connotations) “Mad Mags.” Some of Jack’s friends, because they were so used to calling each other by their surnames, just called her “Mags” for a diminutive.
When she first got out to the desert, she picked up the habit of picking up little odds and ends, and with it, the nickname/first callsign "Magpie." (She had always had the tendency to horde things, really, but in-city I feel like clutter is probably frowned upon (at least in higher class places) and then, she spent those years where nothing belonged to her, not even really her body, so I feel like it probably was way worse after she got out.) After that, she named herself Techno Havoc, and from that "Tech", "Techie", and the occasional "Havoc" were born. DK called her "Rusty" (or maybe "Sparky"? I forget. Somebody called her one, someone else called her the other.) Weasel sometimes calls her “Spyro” for? some reason, I don’t even know if I had a reason when he started that. Jack has been known to lovingly refer to her as "Miss Mess" and then Grave almost exclusively calls her "Lil Miss" because he enjoys testing her patience. Then there's the classics: "Firebug" "Spitfire" "Firefly" etc. (cause of her hair. And, y'know, that whole temper thing.)
And then there's the "Pretty Bird" "Little Bird" thing that Mouse took up (from Kobes & DesertMomMouse respectively) but I mean? Those are like those "exclusive" kind of nicknames she definitely wouldn't tolerate from anybody else. Also "Kitten" falls in this category [Try it. I dare you.] but that was technically me who did that.
2: What is ‘home’ to your OC?
The desert, in the very broad sense of the word. Yeah she's got her designated corner of the Haven, and she can drop into the Trade Station more or less anytime she wants, but she's got that thing where staying anywhere too long starts to make her feel trapped, and she sort of struggles with naming a location as "home" in general since her only real "home" she had fell apart so spectacularly, uprooted by her own dang mom. Which, then, you might think her the type to think of people as her home, and I guess that's not wrong? necessarily?? But she struggles with that too thanks to those massive trust issues and a nice (un)healthy dose of C-PTSD. Really, it mostly just boils down to knowing where she doesn't belong, and where she doesn't want to be: home (used just.../so loosely there) is anywhere that isn't those places.
3: Favorite food and drink?
I have said this before but her favorite food is cranberry sauce! (Er, I think it's technically called "jellied cranberry" but we've always called it cranberry sauce.) The canned kind, because it's probably the only kind she's ever had tbh. I don't think she has a favorite drink, though. She's always been sort of... neutral (?) about food/drink in general, to the point where she often considers it annoying/a hassle to take time out of her day to remember to eat & drink. When it comes to alcohol, she’s just as non-picky. (I mean, she’d prefer the kind of ‘shine that won’t leave you blind, but that’s just common sense.)
4: Any scars/birthmarks?
She's got a birthmark on the back of her left shoulder! Just a lil oval, nothing special. She used to have those crazy 'signature' scars on her chest and mouth, but she lost those in ReEducation- partly to reinforce the conditioning, and partly because of BLI's good 'ol "Everything has to be beautiful" obsession. Since hitting the sand for the second time, she's picked up a few scars here and there, mostly concentrated on her outer left thigh (those are self inflicted) and her knees (she cannot, for the life of her, keep them unscraped tbh) but nothing too notable - with the exclusion of a brand stinkin' new one on the back of her right arm. (It's gonna fade a little over time/as it finishes healing completely, but it's there forever now. She's gonna fuckin' treasure that scar, too.)
5: What does your OC do in his/her free time?
She likes to tinker with makking tiny little robots that don’t really do anything besides crawl around, and she’s also got this side hobby/fascination with insects (beetles are her favorite because “they have the most personality”) And y’know how they say “if you love what you do you never work a day in your life” and she does so love to dig and disorder, so she’s got that going on a lot of the time too. And, of course, there’s the matter of expanding her collection of junk, little hoarder that she is.
6: When does your OC think killing is ok?
I wouldn't say she ever thinks it's "okay" so much as "occasionally slightly justifiable." Queen of indecision that she is, I'm sure this fluctuates, but she generally frowns upon the deaths of 'innocents' or anyone otherwise "uninvolved." Directly/physically confronted, if you threaten her life she will fight back and she won't pull punches.
7: Biggest fear?
mmmmmmmmm I wanna say something like losing herself again or being used or people she loves turning on her, but I think all of those really and truly link back to a root fear of being imprisoned again, and all the pain/circumstances around it.
8: What does your OC think is his/her biggest accomplishment?
Not being dead? Most of her loud fronting is that, fronting, and while she knows she's good at hacking (and, to a lesser degree, her engineering) but she has never really assigned much significance to her accomplishments. It's just, all to keep living y'know?
9: How clean/tidy is your OC?
She's a mess honestly. She's got this "system" of "orginization" and it is something that works for her, she can find things, but it looks like/is just a frickin' big ol mess honestly. Things all over the floor, amassed into little piles just everywhere. Expect to get an earful if you move anything up, though.
10: Favorite smell?
Smoke smells of the cigarette and wood variety. It definitely has nothing to do with her brother smelling like those things a lot, obviously.
11: What does your OC smell like?
Sun-baked sand and copper and that weird plastic-rubber smell that hangs around places where there’s a lot of wiring; also maybe a little like a cat, because she’s never more than about two feet away from Glitch. Also sometimes (depending on the availibility & her stress level) cigarette smoke, because she does occasionally smoke+ she also just burns them for the smell. (Plot twist, she's been Neil Josten the whole time. No seriously, there's this post on her blog from way the fuck back where she was like "I burn them for the smell" and I tried so hard to find it in her archive but I can't or I'd link it.)
12: What kind of clothing is your OC the most comfortable in?
She's never really uncomfortable in clothes unless they're a particularly awful texture/stiffness (but I mean..how often does that happen in the desert? everything's old and ratty and worn) but also she's low key most comfortable just ... not wearing any. And this absolutely links back to that thing I talked about once how she kind of never grew out of certain "childish" mentalities. She doesn't generally give any thought to how put together her outward appearance is, and she sheds any "unecessary" garments at the first given opportunity. Sometimes even when she should be wearing them. And then she gets sunburned. ‘Cause she’s dumb.
When clothed, however, she gravitates towards shirts/tops that are too big (plus a few tank tops she basically uses as underwear), and then she has a minor preference for shorts for some reason, but she really won't object to any pair of bottoms that won't fall off her skinny little butt (though, to be honest, most of her pants/shorts end up at least slightly too big as well.) 
She's also a known clothing thief - all of your t-shirts are forfeit if she manages to get her hands on them.
13: What do your OC’s living quarters look like?
When she's not in full vagabond mode with the grey tarp, she's got her little unit at the Haven. It's not super super full of anything, because of tendency to flitter around, but she is amassing a bit of a collection in there, as messy and "organized" into chaos as it always is. Some day I’ll sit down and describe all of the occupied units in greater detail, but not right now.
14: Is your OC impulsive?
HAHAHAHAHA YEAH
15: Most treasured possession?
I wanna say the cat? Does the cat count? He's technically a living thing and not really a "possession" because he's got a bit of a feral streak, but .. ?
OH OR - that fuckin stupid silver hard drive/her mom's will. She will not let that thing go, she put it on a freaking string and wears it as a necklace and it makes me (and Jack) so mad. But, she's attached to it, it's so valuable to her.
16: What does your OC consider to be good entertainment?
A nice good shouting match, honestly. She's just... so contrary and  really loves to argue. 
She's also fond of, like I mentioned above, studying insects. Not from like, a scientific point of view, she doesn't pull them apart or anything, but sometimes she'll catch them and keep them in a little jar for awhile before turning them loose again. Also he doesn't do it much now, but Jack used to write a lot (stories, some songs) and she's always loved to listen to those.
General radio chatter doesn't necessarily always fall under "entertainment" but she does often enjoy it. At the very least, it staves off the silence, and really anything that does that is good.
17: Most noticeable physical characteristic?
Uhhh... used to be her scar(s) but obviously that's a non thing anymore so.....50/50 between her natural hair color (and I mean...I guess even her dyed colors are technically still a physical characteristic) and her slight stature, especially when compared to her brother & parents. She’s pretty damn short and verges on alarmingly thin, even for the desert.
18: You OC is going out somewhere. Where is he/she going and what time is it?
When is she not "out" honestly?
(But, if going somewhere with the thought of social contact in mind, probably Tess's sparring ring or, even more likely, some cozy sunning rock where you'll find a snake and the time of day or day of the week becomes completely and utterly irrelavent.)
19: Did your OC enjoy his/her childhood?
Depends on where, exactly, you want to say "childhood" cuts off. Pre 10-years-old, hell yeah. 10-14, well, not exactly. I don't have much to say about either section right this second though because I tned to spend a lot of time talking about it in relation to how she is now, so it feels unecessary right here.
20: What would your OC die for?
...Love? to be general about it? I can't really imagine her going down in the name of a cause, or.. much else, really? But, if it came to it, I feel like there's some people she loves she'd be willing to meet death in the mosh pit for.
21: What does it take to earn your OC’s respect?
She's got decent respect for anyone who treats people with basic respect to begin with, but the way to get really really high in her sights is most definitely grand gestures. Swallowing your pride and abandonning all you've worked for to bust her out? Great, so great. Doing a death-march into the heart of the city in the name of protecting someone you love? Incredible. Giving the middle finger to the afterlife/death deity for the sake of coming back to your brother? Hi, welcome to the top tier.
And maybe that's a bit more like admiration / love but those tend to blur together a bit in my opinion.
22: Pet peeves?
I'm not even gonna try, the list is so long and so dependent on her moods anyway. Biggest, probably, I guess, is being called rat (but that's...honestly a legitimate trigger rather than a pet peeve.)
23: How forgiving is your OC?
I won't lie, she's got a thing for grudges, and sometimes they can be really easy to invoke with her, but she's honestly just as likely to forget she was mad at you. Not that you were explicitly forgiven, but that she  just...forgot to remember.
If you betray her trust though you're done. For like, the rest of forever. (Also: fuck you she has so many trust issues don't make them worse???)
24: What does your OC sleep in?
A cuddle puddle with Vi & Foxy
Typically, just whatever she was wearing as clothes that day. That's part of why she gravitates towards large shirts and such. She's very prone to wearing the same clothes a few days in a row before cleaning/airing them out because of this.
When she’s out wandering, she might actually throw an extra layer on because of how cold it gets at night, and the fact that she’s not so big on blankets, for some reason?
25: Biggest secret?
You know for all her self-isolation and walls-of-defense, I can't really think of any actual secrets she keeps? Obviously she doesn't just dump all of her life on you and she's less inclined to talk about things that upset her, but she's really just an honest person.
Tagging: @jediiwrites @kenziecarrion @wiscowrites @azianxpersuasionwrites & @theichthyostegawrites (but zero pressure to actually do it yo)
