Day 2 of @sangyaoweek

Birds

“Who's there?” hissed the person, suspiciously looking around. Nie Huaisang debated whether it would be a good idea to show himself, or not, but he decided to do it. Taking a deep breath, he made sure he looked as harmless as he could be (which was a lot. Nobody who looked at him could imagine he was quite adept at hand-to-hand combat. Not Nie good, of course, but… Not going there.), and holding out his hands to show himself unarmed, he stepped out from his hiding place.

“Who are you?” A suspicious question came from the other person. Nie Huaisang smiled, as if it was his da-ge, trying to make him pay attention to the boring meeting with the other clan heads. He was nothing, but a pretty little airhead. Just a silly thing lost in the forest.

“This one is Hua Sang. Could the young master tell this one how to get to the nearest city? It seems this one turned the wrong way somewhere.”

The person eyed Nie Huaisang suspiciously, but it seemed he did not deemed him dangerous.

“Meng Yao,” the person introduced himself. He hesitated, assessing Nie Huaisang, then softened. “This one is going to Lanling. You can come with me.”

Lanling.

Jin Guangshan, eww. But it is as good a place as any to hide. And Nie Mingjue - if he would try to find him - would never think of searching for him at the Jins’.

After a not-so-careful consideration, Nie Huaisang slightly bowed his head in thanks. Out of all the options, this was one. Why not take it?

The first few sichens of their journey was spent quietly. Sometimes Nie Huaisang identified the birds in their vicinity, sometimes Meng Yao advised to take a little break, but overall it was quiet. Calm. Nothing like the night hunts his da-ge forced him to go on.

Slowly, it started to get darker in the dense forest. They had no means to light something, so they had to stop before one of them fell and broke a bone. They settled down in an alcove among the trees, their makeshift camp hidden by the shadows of the forest.

They managed to collect water and berries during their journey, and while they needed to find something more fulfilling for the next day, it was enough for dinner.

They chatted amicable for a while, when Nie Huaisang couldn't hold his question back anymore. “Lanling, huh? Is there any reason for going there, or…?”

Meng Yao was silent for a while. “Just… opportunities. A chance to be something more than what I had been before.”

“I can understand that,” Nie Huaisang nodded in the darkness, allowing the other to keep his secrets. It wasn't like he wanted to talk about his past either. “I'm also looking for opportunities. Except for I don't want to be something more, just something else. No grand plans for me, just to be able to live my life.”

Meng Yao hummed, “Don't you have any dreams or aspirations?”

An involuntary chuckle left Nie Huaisang's mouth. Dreams? Aspirations? Of course he had those! But… whatever happened, he would be fine with it. Anything except for being the Disappointment of Qinghe Nie.

“This lowly one does not have those.” Or, more like, he had too many of those.

Meng Yao stayed silent. Even though it was dark, it felt as if he was studying Nie Huaisang, wanting to see into his soul to know all of his secrets, to unveil the layers of lies or deceptions. Finally, he sighed, accepting Nie Huaisang's words.

And that was that.

Nie Huaisang never met anybody who just left something they wanted to know alone. Not his big brother, not the clan members, not even Lan Xichen and his menace of a brother could leave something alone. It was… it was unique. Refreshing.

Nie Huaisang liked that.

The next few days as they continued walking through the forest, fighting against bandits and searching for water and food, they talked. Well, Nie Huaisang talked, chattering about anything and nothing at all, like his beloved birds tended to do. Sometimes Meng Yao answered, sometimes he did not. Sometimes they exchanged stories - splattered with lies on both sides -, and even though they knew the other was not telling the whole truth, they started to feel something towards each other. Friendship, maybe. Camaraderie, possibly. Sympathy, definitely.

It was absurd. It was madness. Nie Mingjue would have bullied Nie Huaisang for trusting in a lying stranger. But he was not there. Nie Huaisang was.

And he trusted his instincts. Just as he had his own reasons, Meng Yao must have had his own reasons for not telling everything about himself, and Nie Huaisang would honor that. He knew he could rely on his new friend, and that was enough.

The Specialists as Your Boyfriend

Fandom(s): Winx Club

Pairing(s): Red Fountain X Reader

Character(s): Sky, Brandon, Riven, Timmy, Helia

Genre(s): Fluff

Writing Style: Headcanons

Summary: A few headcanons of the Red Fountain Specialists as your boyfriend.

Warning(s): None

Requested by: None

Note: Hello! It's been a while since I wrote some headcanons like these. And yes, I joined the Winx Club fandom recently because I just finished Season One! It feels good to go back in track! I apologize for my lack of posts nowadays, but I'll try my best to feed you some content! Enjoy your read!

Sky

I know a lot of people find him as 'meh' because he is sort of a basic blonde, I can agree

But for me, he's super sexy, I cannot. This prince completely stole my heart because of his basic personality (yes, I'm a basic bitch too)

Anyway, Sky is definitely a sweetheart, already seen at how he treats Bloom in the first season

But don't forget he's the prince of Erakylon, so he's definitely rich

Sky will pamper you with so much love and affection

Whether if you're royalty or not, or if you're a fairy or an earthling, this man will still love you

Hand kisses are a MUST

Brandon

Oh boy. This suave flirt

Because Brandon is Brandon, he will obviously love teasing and flirting with you.

But that doesn't mean he wouldn't flirt with the other girls in Magix

As Prince Sky's squire, he obviously knows how to defend you. He may or may not try to impress you that way

He will definitely bring you to dates in Magix. Wherever you want to go, he will come with you

He may be flirtatious to you and other girls, but I assure you that Brandon is loyal. How did he become Sky's squire if he wasn't a loyal servant to him?

And for me, I have a feeling he will give golden retriever vibes

Riven

THIS MAN IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

Riven is really awkward and closed off in the beginning of your relationship. But as time goes by, he becomes comfortable

He isn't the best guy in words of affirmation, but the way he helps you out when you need it is always there. It's his way of loving you

This man actually has the best and warmest hugs

It's a guilty pleasure of his in which you try to calm him whenever he is about to go maniac over someone or something

Surprisingly very cuddly in private

Riven also wants you to stay in Red Fountain often so you can watch him spar with the other Specialists

Timmy

Similar to Riven, he is firstly awkward in the start of relationships (less awkward than the latter, however).

He loves to go to the library with you to study for exams and such

When he has new things to share, the first person Timmy will approach is you because he knows you will listen

Timmy is actually really blushy, and this is evident whenever you help him with his glasses

He isn't really into physical contact, but he does excel in quality time. He loves your presence with him

You're his assistant during calculations and he loves your cooperation as a duo

Timmy loves to gift you some new items and he likes to impress you with his logical thinking

Helia

Ah yes, the hottest guy to ever exist in Red Fountain of the Magix Realm

Helia loves to write poems and short stories for you

Since it is often seen that he loves to draw, he would secretly draw you in his sketchbook

Expect bouquets of flowers from him once in a week

It may or may not be expected, but Helia loves to say some pickup lines. These pickup lines are either cheesy or romantic

You are the only person he allows to braid his hair, so be thankful

Hand kisses are a MUST 2.0

[lalalalalalakakakak]

So this is just Vox, with a classic limbless situation (I love it when people draw him like that, Idk. I mean he's small and has a rectangular head, so he's super easy to put in a suitcase or something. And he probably also trembles a lot, like a weird chihuahua).

If you want to read what it's written in the picture i suggest you to read the second image, my cursive writing is barely understandable and my English is cursed so i tried to fix it a bit.

((((This is basically just vent art, I have some drawings of this, I don't know if I'll share everything (because I'm shy and a little embarrassed about it eheheheh) but I'll probably do a couple posts about it (or more if I feel like it).))))

Anyway, some initial lore if you are interested:

(My English is bad, so sorry about it in advice)

The concept is basically Val cutting off Vox's limbs (they were both very drunk, so the stumps are different lengths). He then cuts two clean lines over Vox's eye and mouth. And then he precisely cuts off Vox's antennas (he put in a lot of effort, so they're the same length).

All with an angelic blade, of course.

Initially it was just a foreplay accident because Val accidentally took the wrong tool from his closet (it also happens to the best of us).

And at first Val felt a guilty about it. But then discovered that he liked quite a lot having Vox crawling around like a little worm and that he liked a lot taking care of him and fucking him. So Val continued to make him even more helpless and began to take care of him even more.

And Vox (after his initial completely justified anger) was absolutely flattered. He had always dreamed of doing something like this to Alastor and knowing that Val cared enough about him to actually do it was truly a mind-blowing experience for Vox. And it made him realize that Val really really cared about him a lot.

Everything was fine, dandy even.

Except that Vox started to get bored (he had nothing to do during the day, not being able to work or connect to the network anymore) and one day he woke up to find Kitty dusting him as if he were a knick-knack, so he started to feel that something was kinda off.

So he did what any other mentally stable person would do in his position. He decided that he would go back in time to ask Valentino to marry him before the "limb incident", so everything would obviously be fixed. Marriages solve everything, everyone knows that (and coincidentally it was also exactly the plot he had written for episode 56 of season 17 of the popular soap opera "I fucked your sister, so what? IN SPACE!")

But he couldn't just break up with his current Valentino because he felt guilty about leaving him, so he just ran away and went MIA (much better, right?)

He was a smart guy after all. Time travel? No problem for the great Vox at all (he ended up living in a dumpster)

Did Vox lose his mind? Not exactly, but probably when Val cut his screen he used a little too much pressure and prooooobably accidentally cut something he shouldn't have

Velvette was a little worried about them at first, but she saw that both Vox and Val were quite happy, so she was like "meh, whatever"

She also found Vox without limbs adorable, and designed hundreds of clothes for him (plus Vox was shorter than her and he couldn't even complain, so 10/10)

The plot probably doesn't make a lot of sense but neither do my mind so it's alright

[hikarielizabethbloom]

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that in my opinion, you have nothing to apologize for because you did nothing wrong but expressing your POV. I'm sorry I do it anonymously, it feels wrong because until now I was never afraid of voicing my opinions... but these days it feels like saying anything in relation with this subject could be taken as "taking a side", which is weird. It feels like, you know... cold war lol !

I've recently noticed a tendency to, instead of directly commenting an opinion x user disagrees with, opening another post to criticize the opinion in question. Is it fear to confront the person who said the 'controversial' opinion ? Is it a way to say "I have a different opinion but I won't discuss it ?" (which is fair, sometimes I want to say things I feel without having someone arguing with me over it). It's very passive agressive, and it makes a certain number of fellow fans very uncomfortable. That's what I gathered from the recent discussions I had in private, anyway.

It's just not within the Haladriel fandom, it's in the entire TROP fandom ! Some people don't dare to speak about Celeborn because they're scared that someone will react by posting an agressive take on him. Recently, there was a fight about Adar being a good guy or a bad guy, fans were mocked (again, never in the face but in parallel posts) because they thought that maybe Sauron could be healed with Nenya, etc. Myself I used to post quite frequently, now I just reblog stuff because I think that if I say something that will sound controversial, maybe my opinion will be attacked in another post ! even if my name is not mentioned I'll know it's about what I said. That's not what I call a safe environment.

I don't want to see Tumblr turn into Twitter and Reddit where people will fight and throw insults at each other over fiction, but I'm a bit worried regarding where this passive agressive attitude will lead the Haladriel fandom and even the TROP fandom at large, to be honest.

There's not a day where I don't dread to open the Haladriel/Saurondriel tags and find post opened by shippers who criticize how other shippers see their ships. We don't need the antis anymore, it seems, we seem to become very good at destroying ourselves. It makes me very sad because pre 2x08 and even a couple of weeks post 2x08, the Haladriel tags were filled mostly with positivity, good fun and awesome metas. Now I only see dick contests : "my opinion is better than yours." "No, mine is better than yours and you have no media literacy if you think differently !".

I'm sorry for weighing down with this, but it had to come out of my chest and I don't feel safe anymore saying all this on my blog.

Feel free to ignore this message if you just want to put it behind you, by the way, or if you feel it will make things worse... It's really not my intention to do more damages. Or if you want, just leave a post on your blog saying "I got your message" and anything you want to add, I'll be okay with that...

Thank you for reading me <3

I'm sorry anon you feel this way and I'm sorry you felt the need to stay anonymous to protect yourself. This isn't the inquisition. This is fandom space and you should feel safe enough to express your opinions without fear of taking side. Again, this isn't a war. There are no sides and no wrong takes, no matter what some fans believe.

And yes, I decided to speak up because after a couple of posts I've made, I started to notice posts from other Tumblr users that alluded to things I said. Even from a blog I had blocked. And it got me thinking. And it pissed me off a little.

I'm usually chill. Even when I don't agree with some takes, I don't feel the need to write a long ass essay on how the other's interpretation is bad while mine is progressive, feminist, smart, supported by canon, text, my best friend, my butcher... I just read the post, think 'meh, that's bs', scroll and go on with my life.

I know that for some people that's impossible. I know that some have this need for validation. But really, I can understand (sometimes, not always) this crave for queer relationships. But when the ship involves a hot white man (villain) and hot white woman (heroine), there's really not need for validation, right? History of television validates you.

And yes, things changed by the end of season 2. New waves of fans sadly always mean more assholes. And sometimes those assholes are popular. That's it. The only thing I can do is to call out this anti-fun/fan behavior and try to create a safer space.

So, I'm glad for your message. And if you are afraid to speak up I can do it for you. I've got broad shoulders and no desire to be popular 😂

[karaspal]

Hello! I saw that you're a Supergirl fan and I'm trying to read some of her books. Is Supergirl 2016 a good representation of the character?

not really, no. at least not the initial one. it gets good once marc andreyko starts writing it. then bad again once he is off the book.

the rebirth series took a lot of inspiration from cbs supergirl and imo the show got a lot better once it moved to cw. kara in the first 20 issues of the rebirth series is portrayed as less confident and more timid, and that's not really how she is. the comics also took a lot of its elements from the show, even if it didn't make sense to do that. i love and adore the supergirl show and kara in it, yet i hate the rebirth run, so even if you are a fan of cw!kara, i wouldn't recommend the run.

but fear not, i'll give you some recs. here is a full reading order if you want to read everything she's been in. if not, here is a smaller reading guide:

supergirl (2011) is a great start. it has some meh stuff, like kara's costume, which was not great, but you get used to it. i'd recommend the run as a whole (minus the boring crossovers), but if you don't want to read it all, the first arc with the world killers (#1 - 7), red daughter of krypton (#28 - 33, but mind you, it crosses over with "red lanterns". reading order for the full story you can find in the link i gave above. just scroll a bit, it's under the 52 section) and crucible (#36 - 40) were the best arcs.

after that, i'd recommend jumping right to marc andreyko's run - supergirl (2016): #21 - 33. before that, you do need to read man of steel (2018) for context.

next comes supergirl: woman of tomorrow. it's the best supergirl story you can find and one of the best superhero stories in general.

despite how little pkj got to write kara during his time on action comics, i'd still recommend checking it out because he understands her character very well - action comics annual 2021 (a possible future for kara and the house of el); action comics (2016): #1044 - 1049 (back up stories); action comics (2016): #1051 - 1060 + annual 2023. mind you, she has a supporting role in this story, not a main one.

after that, she had a one-shot team-up with the martian manhunter action comics: doomsday special (2023) which was good.

she is currently a main character in the house of brainiac story and i like the way she is written there.

if you're willing to read comics from the previous era, the run sterling gates and jamal igle did is considered a classic. it's supergirl (2005): #34 - 59. it does, however, cross over a lot with the new krypton arc that was happening at the time. full reading order you can find in the reading guide i linked.

and if you're willing to go pre-crisis, she had two solo runs. one was in 1974 - supergirl (1974), and the other - 1982 - supergirl (1982). she also had stories in various dc comics. an era i absolutely love is when she was an actress in new york - the superman family (1974): 208 - 222.

and comics you should stay away from, in my opinion - supergirl: being super and last year's supergirl special #1. both are written by mariko tamaki and i just don't vibe with her kara. another one is kara's first appearances post-crsis. anything kara written by joe kelly and jeph loeb is a big no-no.

anyways, sorry for the long answer lol. happy reading.

January 2025 Reading Wrap-Up

I read 12 books this (neverending) month and somehow not a single one of them was under a 7 out of 10. How the fuck did that happen? Anyway, this year, if a book is targeted at a non-Adult demographic, I'll be noting it in several parts.

1/10 - Why Did They Publish This?

None applicable.

2/10 - Trash

None applicable.

3/10 - Meh

None applicable.

4 to 6/10 - Mid-Tier

None applicable.

7 to 8/10 - Good With Caveats

Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class On The Art Of Organizing And Tidying Up | Marie Kondo

After reading Marie Kondo's "The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art Of Decluttering And Organizing", I compared it to this one as I went to see how it worked. While both are focused on decluttering (in a way that Marie Kondo now agrees is a bit much, according to the people I've talked to while reading this book), this one gets a lot further into the actionable steps instead of the theory, featuring step-by-step folding guides for all sorts of things.

Gwen & Art Are Not In Love | Lex Croucher [Young Adult]

This is a Young Adult historical romance. Despite the emphasis of Arthurian legend in the summary, it is not a retelling and does not have magical elements. At best, there are some folk magic bits that don't launch this into the fantasy category because they are all easy to write off (and are written off in the narrative itself). I enjoyed reading it, and it very much needed all 410 pages. My only complaint is that I really, really would have enjoyed seeing how exactly the problem at the ending was resolved, but I'm getting used to the fact that books from Book of the Month don't have a solid and actual ending. I still liked reading this, however.

Interesting Facts About Space | Emily Austin

This is the kind of book you read when you want to read about someone whose life is a much larger mess than yours is. Despite wrapping things up fairly neatly at the ending, one of the things brought up in the summary never gets explained or resolved in a way that just feels annoying. It feels like a badly-implemented cliffhanger for sequel bait, and I don't have the energy to dig up "actual ending" fanfics for every book I read. I did have to recategorize it in my spreadsheet because it's a lot less "romance" and a lot more "contemporary hot mess". The protagonist is a disaster lesbian, with heavy emphasis on the "disaster" part.

9/10 - Very Very Good

Brokeback Mountain | Annie Proulx

So uh. I found this one in a bunch of donated books from a library patron. So of course I grabbed it. I read it for the January meeting of my library's book club. There was a lot more being sad than I expected, considering how Brokeback Mountain was usually explained to me. I still had a good time reading it because sad gay cowboys are, in fact, one of my interests.

Skull Scrying: Animal Skulls In Divinatory Trance Work | Lupa Greenwolf

I got this book out of a big divination bundle from Lupa's store that included a tarot deck, a tarot deck guidebook, two minibooks, and a ready-to-go osteomancy set. I ended up reading this one first out of the bundle because I cohabitate with a whitetailed deer skull named Skull Friend, and the idea of scrying has always fascinated me even though I can't do it for shit. (What do you mean, "clear your mind"? I have intrusive thoughts and shit, it's physically impossible for me to do that.) This is a small book at only 32 pages, but it's incredibly information-stuffed. When I say a book could have been a blog post/zine, this is a good example. I did have a few bones to pick with it, but those aren't enough for me to bump it down to the Good With Caveats section.

Pocket Osteomancy: A Simple Bone Divination Set | Lupa Greenwolf

This is another, even smaller (24 pages) book and is clearly meant to be in the same category as tarot guidebooks, but since I have had 0 experience with osteomancy before, I figured I'd read through this whole thing. It was just as interesting as the skull scrying book and started me on the path of slowly re-exploring death magic and getting into proper nature and animal-related magic.

Werewolf Magick: Authentic Practical Lycanthropy | Denny Sargent

This book somehow wound up here despite several problems I had with it just because it was so damned useful. Review (or rather, bulletpoints) here.

A Witch's Ally: Building A Magical Relationship With Animal Familiars & Companions | Dodie Graham McKay

This is another book that somehow wound up here even though I felt the shoe drop a few times. Honestly this one is probably more useful than Werewolf Magick for the average mage. Review (or, again, bulletpoints) here.

My Roommate Is A Vampire | Jenna Levine

This is a romcom paranormal romance brought to us by the Reylos. And you know what? It was fucking hilarious. I had a great time reading it. I genuinely enjoyed it the most of the romance-related books I read this month. I did keep getting the gay couple (Scott and Sam) confused because both of the names started with S, but that's because I'm bad at keeping track of a book's side characters. Also, they very much have sex. Several times. I ended up skipping those parts, but they get raunchy once they finally get together.

10/10 - Unironically Recommend To Everyone

Doctor Esperanto And The Language Of Hope | Mara Rockliff, Zosia Dzierzawska [Juvenile]

This 40 page biography is technically classified as a Juvenile biography in Missouri Evergreen, but I'd argue that this is such a low reading level that it would fall in the Easy category if Missouri wasn't so terrified by the thought of a biography about a Jewish man. Regardless, I enjoyed reading it as the introduction into my poking of Esperanto. I'm not surprised that it smoothed over the more uneasy parts of Dr. Esperanto's life (like the Zionism and the Hillelism), but it was a good introduction leading to...

Bridge Of Words: Esperanto And The Dream Of A Universal Language | Esther Schor

Part biography of the Esperanto language (particularly the life of its creator) and part biography of the author (a Jewish woman) interacting with various parts of the Esperanto community, I found this to be a fantastic and far more thorough book for the subject overall. I was glad I read this after the other biography.

Destroy All Humans. They Can’t Be Regenerated, volume 2 | Katsura Ise, Takuma Yokata

Yes, yes, this is volume two of the MTG manga that's being reprinted. And I fucking adore it. I love seeing an overconfident male protagonist get his ass beat. Also one of the characters reads as hella genderqueer but that's probably because both of the other characters are reading them in opposite gender directions. I'm enjoying this series, even the young romance that's cropping up between the male and female protagonists.

[yuri-is-online]

Hi! Hope you had safe and healthy holidays. I had a very sudden thought about your Yutu AU and was thought you needed to hear it.

So for some of the boys, like Azul!Yutu and Lilia!Yutu, they want their dad's approval and acceptance more than anything. And you've talked about how a lot of them would have "feelings" wondering if their dad would approve of who they were before coming back in time. So what would happen if Yutu had been assigned female at birth before transitioning at some point? Would that be another layer of absolute drama on top of the regular drama they have to be dealing with? (If this is an inappropriate ask, that is completely understandable) Just a thought I had out of the blue a couple of days ago (at the time I'm writing this ask)

One other thing, though this is completely unrelated. Beyond TWST and Tokyo Debunker and that Pending slot on your Index, what other games would you and do you write for? I'm trying to get back into writing for Coral Island and Our Life after too long so I'm wondering if there's other games you write for!

Stay safe, stay healthy, and may the new year treat you well!

Sincerely,

The Anon Who Loves Riddle & Azul

Hello there my friend.

I don't think it's an offensive ask at all, but I'm maybe not the most qualified to speak on it? But I'll add my understanding anyway with the statement I'm very much open to comment on the topic:

Children, generally speaking, are hard wired to want the approval of their parents. Being Trans is a unique lived experience that can come with a great deal of family related trauma specifically because of that. In Yutu's case, I could see it adding a layer of stress, but I would also say it's not exactly a separate layer so much as it makes the existing layer of insecurity thicker if that makes any sense? Yutu wishes to be accepted for who he is. Who he is happens to be unique in a way his father might not have been expecting, perhaps the concept of gender identity would become the primary worry as opposed to say, Azul! Yutu's concern his dad won't like how he was placed in Savanaclaw. But it wouldn't really make the relationship dynamic any more dramatic, or at least I wouldn't set out to write it that way. If anything I could see it adding more drama to Yutu's father's determination to set things right so his son has a safe environment to transition in as opposed to the apocalyptic one he came from.

Lol the pending slot is less "there's a fandom here" and more just me reserving the right to add to the list. Farming sims and otomes always make me scrunch my face a bit because they're much more... solved? Than something like twisted wonderland or tbd. There's a set storyline already and there's less to imagine about how a specific character might feel... I did briefly consider writing for Honkai Star Rail but meh. My interest is so very fickle. As for what I'd write for the list goes something like:

Final Fantasy XIV- I talk about it too much not too and it was technically the original purpose of this blog. I have Aymeric x wol angst from four years ago now that I never finished and I know I was cooking with it I stg

Original Work- I have some one shots I wrote I wanted to post featuring my own seven deadly demons since to maybe help me write their game universe better but meh. Who knows if it'd be interesting or not.

Baulder's Gate/Pillars of Eternity/Owlcat's Pathfinder games- I don't really like the idea of posting anything I have written for this. The scared texts of o.c. x cannon are unfit for anyone's eyes but mine.

I technically came up with a fanfic based off of fashion dreamer today but I think that's best saved for the trash and not posting.

Anyway thank you very much for the new years wishes my friend. I hope your year is wonderful, your inspiration is plentiful, and you have all the time you desire to do as you please <3

"7- Poor Buttercup! My heart broke for her in this chapter! 😢

7 - She's going through it.. You wait till the next chapter 🫠😬"

"8- Butch is the best boyfriend Buttercup could ever asked for! 😭

8 - 😬😬😬"

"you're all going to hate me after I post this next chapter 😬 Like chapter 8 is.. I'll just say sorry now."

...Oh my God... BRICK!!! DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Lol! Can't wait to see how you are gonna break my heart to pieces! xD 🥲

And honestly, don't worry too much. We're not going to hate you. I actually started caring about the greens (especially Buttercup) when they get involved in some heavy shit like this. I only read your fanfic for the Reds, I never cared about the Greens nor the Blues (especially the Blues). And that's not because you didn't write them well, it's just that they always were meh to me. xD

But the last chapter you did really made me care about Buttercup and sympathize with her. So, what you're doing is a good thing for her character (even though it was so painful to read! xD 😭).

So, don't worry and do what you do best. 🙂

And this is an Ask, so I should ask you something! 🤣: So, you said you don't know when you will update after chapter 8. Does that mean chapter 9 is not written yet? Because I remember you saying you had written until chapter 11.

Another question: When exactly do you think you will release chapter 8?

Hi! Love to hear you've become more invested in the greens! They're a close second to the reds for me - it's the blues I struggle with, which I think is clear in my writing. I do need to work on it. But yeah I'm with you, they reel me in the least too, however I want to get better at writing them in a way that does peak my own interests let alone anyone elses! Yeah I have written up to chapter 12 I do believe.. I am not 100 percent on that though as I haven't actually sat down & looked at any of my writing in a long time. I'm tackling tumblr first, then ao3 & ff.net! Then I'm going to look at updating. I'll be updating Prophecy first. I can't give you an actual date, or any idea of when it will be, how soon it will come etc.. But it will be soon. As I said in my previous response, things have been tough personally for me at the moment, but I'm trying to find my joy again & one of the ways I am doing that is to try and get back into writing. I miss it deeply. I'll try to be a little more forthcoming with general updates from here on out anyway. Thanks for sticking around regardless! MF

Snakelet - Chapter 5 (cont'd)

@augusnippets Day 8 - Protective Caretaker, with an undertone of Found Family

Word count: 518

Masterpost

Content: Post-torture injury, implied lab whump, caretaker doing their best for whumpee's sake, when the caretaker is takered care of

Honestly I just wanted to follow the last snippet up bc I like writing Zop lmao

~

Seeing as Janessa's 'forgotten' to free Zop from the operating table, they do their best to make themself comfortable — not an easy task in her presence, even without restraints. "And just how d'ye plan on fixin' him up, eh?"

She looks at them like they're an idiot. So, the same as she always does. "I'll commission a healer, and he'll be good as new."

"D'ye really think that's it?! He's bein' tortured, for fuck's sake! Get ye the best healer in the world, it's not gonna fix his mental scars!"

"Of course not. That's your job." She boops them on the snout, hurriedly drawing her hand back when they snap their jaws with the full intention to bite her finger off. ...Probably why she's left them tied down. "I expect that he'll be perfectly capable of going back to normal within... a week, let's say. I'm sure you can manage that. You want him obedient as much as I do."

"Oh, fuck off. We both know yer not gonna ruin yer little deal over somethin' out of his hands. Yer damn lucky he'll let this slide." They flex their leg, instantly regretting it when agony washes over them anew.

"Fine. Then I'll take it out on him instead. I'm sure he'll have plenty of fun new buttons to push. Is that better for you, Zop?"

They snarl, refusing to admit defeat outright. "Fuck you. Never said I wasn't gonna try. I'm used to fixin' yer mess, anyway."

"This is not my mess."

"Don't ye start, it's yer fuckin' fault he—"

With narrowed eyes, Janessa dismisses them, responding from outside the gem as Zop collapses into Maya.

"Clearly, he didn't adequately salvage your mental capabilities. We'll have a discussion about that when he returns."

"Meh meh meh, I'm a little bitch, I am." Zop sneers weakly, more concerned with the blood pouring down their leg. "Ye think we can clean this up? Don't want him fussin' over me when he gets back."

"...Let us worry about that after we stop the bleeding, yes?"

"Aye, right. Help me there, will ye?"

With Maya's help, Zop staggers to the crack in the floor, which they've made considerably wider this past week. Solstice places a hoof on the crack and faer horn on Zop, and slowly but surely, their leg closes up.

They carefully flex it and suck in a pained breath. Still hurts like a bitch, but at least the blood's staying inside.

"Good enough. Now I can—"

"Sit down, is what I assume you are going to say, correct?"

Zop squints at Maya, who stares back up at them, and eventually sighs in defeat. "'Course. Don't wanna open it back up, anyway."

Satisfied, she helps them lie down comfortably on the jouch while Solstice addresses the other janimals about 'jleaning jhe jlood.' They prop their leg up on the jouch's arm with a groan.

"Dunno how he manages to deal with her all the time."

"She does not stab him, for one."

Maya plops her furry head on Zop's chest, and they stroke her soft, denim fur.

"Aye. Lucky me."

heyyy i’m new to bellamort and i think they’ve become my otp already thanks to you,

what are your favourite recs? mostly sweet, however much they can be and some spicy ones.

thank you!!!

Anon, this comment made me GIGGLE like an idiot, huge grin on my face - thank you thank you thank you so much. This is the best compliment I’ve ever gotten! It literally means the world.

With that being said - and this goes for the other people in my inbox asking for recs - I’m not the best person to ask. Firstly, I don’t read that much fanfic (hi, med student running on virtually no sleep here) and I’m always behind on reviews (fanfiction is meant to be enjoyed from my laptop with a cup of tea and no one in the house so i can weep/shriek/pace etc). Secondly, I suck at keeping track of what I read.

Thirdly, your ask in particular is virtually impossible because I live for the grief. I lap up angst like a kitten does milk.

Sweetness… meh. (Except of course when I cry and moan about the fact that I need to stop reading for the day because a fanfic literally made my heart ache. I'm telling you, I suffer more for these two than I do my irl friends and that says something about me.)

Anyway, this is what I’ll do. I’ll link some of my favourite authors (in English, if you want Italian recs just ask and I will deliver) and I’ll leave you to browse their pages and see what speaks to you. These are just off the top of my head, and on Tumblr and around Ao3 (if you know how to filter), you'll find other great ones!

(If I forget someone, or if anyone who reads *is* a Bellamort author, feel free to tag them/yourself in this post, or in a reblog.)

@star-named-riddle - Nefaria_Black @saintsenara - Asenora @deslea - deslea (where are you, girl, I need you) Abigail Belle (ex Gamma Orionis) (see above) meanwhiletimely (see above) Also, there's this masterpiece by @metalomagnetic featuring Rodolphus which GHHHHHHHH. Is all I'll say. Screaming, crying, hollering, etc etc etc. (There's also this masterpiece by the same author but even looking it up to link it made me shake and I won't speak of it until I have processed my grief because I have people to see later in the day and I cannot be dazed or aching or in tears or shellshocked by the rawness of the writing etc etc etc)

And finally, the most recommended (and popular, I think) Bellamort fanfiction ever, which I admit I've never read in full (I know, I know, believe me when I say I have no time/mental fortitude) which is of course Surrogate.

They are all absolutely brilliant for reasons I wish I could get into right now (they deserve proper recs, this hasty reply does not do them justice). They all present different but equally fascinating versions of my characters.

Unfortunately, none of them are really saccharine/fluffy. There is softness but it's always bittersweet in most of them. WHICH IS HOW I LIKE IT MUAHAHHAA- coff coff.

Happy reading! :)

[polifandom]

no one's doing it so fine, i'll take one for the team. here's my completely unprompted analysis of lemonade mouth (because i rewatched it recently and saw it in a new light):

1. mo ending up with scott is hinted from the start.

i watched this movie as a kid first, so i was perpetually shocked when mo didn't end up with charlie. but watching it as an adult, i can tell it was quite the opposite. firstly, mo and scott's relationship has more focus than even wen and olivia's (which are both main characters). secondly, there's that halloween bash scene – mo is playing, and the camera shows scott looking at her proud and in love. thirdly, scott was always going to have a redemption arc, especially considering that the breakup was a lie set up by his friend.

do i like the guy? meh, i think he's really toxic in the beginning and mo deserves better, but mo was always undoubtely staying with him.

2. charlie is kind of a dick.

that was something i never thought of as a kid, but the way he reacted to mo's rejection? BIGGEST RED FLAG!!!! telling mo never liked the song anyway??? man, go to hell!

also, my man hasn't got an opinion for himself. fuck the fact that theres 3 other people in the band and they're all his friends; if mo doesn't wanna do it, he doesn't either.

3. wen was not overreacting about sydney.

dude, i'd be mad too if my dad dated someone who was 29 and started prioritizing her plus proposed to her and had her move in without even telling me??? like yeah, him being mad is valid.

4. wen and stella are best friends.

it goes by unnoticed if you're not paying close attention, but they're the first ones to want there to be the band. they go together to the principal about the removal of Mel's, and wen spends the whole time trying to help stella/translate what she's saying into a sweet tone. the both of them talk together with the rest of the band about playing in the pizza place. in the halloween bash, they keep throwing each other the microphone.

if you pay attention, they're doing stuff together during most of the movie.

5. stella is canonically gay.

disney has a formula for their DCOMs, where in it every main character always ends up with someone or the prospect of someone (a love interest). take high school musical as example, there's gabriella and troy, chad and taylor, sharpay and (love interest) keze, and the completely outrageous hinted ryan and kelsi (thats a gay man and a lesbian woman). do i think chad and ryan are actually together? yes i do, but that's not what this post is about. the message is, the entire core 6 (troy, gabriella, taylor, chad, sharpay and ryan) end up with love interests, meanwhile in lemonade mouth everyone BUT stella has one (olivia and wen, mo and scott, charlie and the blonde girl).

why, you ask me? oh well, because they couldn't pair up stella with a woman in 2011 disney channel and wouldn't pair her up with a man. so that was the director's way of saying: yeah, stella is a lesbian.

6. the entire movie is a letter to olivia's dad.

my kid brain never picked that up, but it's olivia's narration that guides the movie as she writes to her dad about how her band came to be.

now onto some opinions:

this is the best DCOM ever and you can't change my mind.

olivia is my baby girl and i will always stand by my queen bridgit mendler.

mudslide crush is wack ass name but i fucking love it.

i wish there were more fanfics about this movie :(

[theallianceofcelestials]

It’s been 7 days since the Yapp. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANSSSSS.

Well, get to it you yappers (also I feel bad for just… not saying anything about the au you talked about last time especially because you spent MULTIPLE POSTS to explain it, Tumblr was being funky and wouldn’t let me do a lot.. I thought it was super cool tho)

-Sigma Anon 🦄🦄🦄✨✨✨💅💅💅

Hiiiii Sigma Anon! It's already been 7 days? Gosh, time sure does fly, huh.

As usual, I have no idea what to yap about, haha. And Moongleam isn't available currently to "yell" at me to choose something. I have too many options, and my brain kind of freezes up in panic, haha...

But that's why she tells me to use a wheel to help choose for me I guess. Very usefull thing, might I add

Unless it lands on something I'm not in the mood to talk about... Which happens more often, than not. Which is fine, I just choose the next option, but meh. I dunno. And some times, for example with the Atlantis AU, I just power through the beginning, and get into rambling. Unless interupted by evil food making me almost throw up... Also don't worry about not saying anything about what I ramble about. I kinda just talk into the void when it's Yapp Time, haha. But I'm happy you found it cool!

Anyway, the Wheel has chosen, but I have decided to ignore that choice, because I hate myself :D

I'm going to complain about always coming up with new stories, but never actually sitting down to write. I know I should, but whenever I do actually sit down and start, all my will to live (or write) disintegrates Which, as one would guess is pretty damm frustrating. Like, brain, could you please kindly stop pumping out idea after idea, and let me finish one story, plese?? While my brain is like "Ooooo sHiNyYyY ✨✨✨✨ and the best I can do is give you several quarters of a story (with potentially multiple endings that I like equally) and yearning to write ❤️"

And I'm left with an army of ideas, that I get way too attached to way too easily, but no actual story finished. And it makes me very agitated, because I feel like the stories deserve to be written and finished, but at this rate, I'll never be done

Especially since I mentioned I have burned myself out pretty badly a couple years ago, and still suffer the consequences of it, haha...

Anyway, I should stop complaining. Btw I dunno how curious anyone who reads this is, but the Wheel originally selected my already once mentioned Warrior Cats TSAMS AU, with the second option being my MASM AU, titled God Games, and third being another MASM AU of mine titled Wouldn't You Like (yes, both share titles with songs from Epic the musical, sue me), both have been mentioned once or twice by me, but I didn't feel like nor had the time/energy to talk about those AUs

But enough about me, how are you, Sugarplum? I'm also giving the mic to Moongleam, she's probably got more interesting stuff to talk about

I don't have anything more interesting to talk about 👍

Like the country got another bomb threat aimed at different schools this time, we watched Sonic 3 yesterday which is why I was out for the entirety of the day yesterday, and today we had visitors and I haven't written a single word for SEA, so update's coming tomorrow I think

Insteeeeead I was working on a completely different story that I'm not going to tell too much about. It'l be called something along the lines of "I refuse!", it'll be canon divergence and from my go to guy's pov. It is kinda venty I guess, so it's main topic ain't exactly sunshine and rainbows.

And like the entirety of yesterday was also kinda meh, aside from the movie. So like we know there's a bomb threat in a school not too far for us, and I got off at like 12, while the movie started at 17:30. So I had to kill a bunch of time, but luckily one of my girlies was there with me, because funnily enough she works at the Cinema we went to. So I spent the yesterday after she left for her shift in a writing frenzy, and yet I'm still not even half-way with what I'm writing rn 💔

You now, Sugarcube

Introductions

Who are we?

We are a co-owned account, consisting of two people. We post about whatever fandoms we're interested and the content we want to see. Requests are open, but it’s not a 100 guarantee we’re going to do them. Generally this account was also created out of spite of seeing characters so badly miss characterized in head cannons but we digress

What type of things will we post/accept requests for?

basically whatever we really are interested in, nsfw, fluff, things like that. We’re veering in the side of not writing or accepting toxic dynamics or romanticizing toxic or abusive behaviors, and we very much are probably going to stick more to canon personality anyway. Au’s are something we would probably be interested in, but that’s to be explored down below.

Do we have a post schedule?

Nope! This is done on our own personal free time, and is done mostly as a hobby/out of spite. We could post twice or thrice a week and then ghost this for like a month, but in short, No, there’s no rhyme or reason to our schedule.

How do we know who’s posting what?

This isn’t in our previous posts (however they might be edited later to include this,) but we’re going to sneak small pngs of Laios or marcille to differentiate lol

Personal Introductions

YO!!! I’m Owen, and I’m represented by laios autism™ just bc

I use He/Xe pronouns and identify as a boy, and I’m incorrectly most fandoms you can think of ranging from DDLC, dsmp, mha, MLP, and voltron among other things.

Now as for what I usually will post!!

I’ll mostly be posting head canons and small drabbles alongside character rants and theories

I won’t write many oneshots, considering I don’t consider my writing good enough

THEORIES!!!

And requests ;

I will take anything and I mean anything from the dirtiest smut, to gore, fluff, and such. I probably won’t take requests for toxic relationships and romanticizing abuse, I might still take them sometimes, and I’m generally meh with yandere HCS

I will take Au requests!! If you’ve ever wanted an au of yours given headcanons, send a request asking for me with details!!!

As for interactions… INTERACT!!!! I LOVE seeing your comments and reposts!! Makes the tism go brrr

Hihi! I'm Sun and I'm represented by marcille cuz Laios and marcille are best platonic duo (real)

Also cuz she's so silly muehehe

I go by she/her pronouns and I identify with the female gender. As for fandoms? Oh boy, I have a long list (do not ask me which I've actually consumed the official media tho), ranging from MHA, Harry Potter, love and deepspace and so on!! If you asked me to make a list I would just forget about everything and everyone so it's an ask and find out.

What I will most likely post!

Headcanons, rants and drabbles cuz yes!! These are fun to write

Oneshots, Smaus and maybe even fanfics. If I get the random ADHDer urge to create something :^]

^^ Most of these are gonna be fluff

For requests:

If it interests me, I'll make it! From nsfw to fluff!! But I will most likely not take angst and toxic behaviors, yanderes are (high-key) a big no-no for me. I just don't get the appeal and I won't force myself to write it out lolz

I love alternative universes and all of that jazz too! Send me any underrated cutie pies my way!! I'll love to write them fr

Also is it a good time to say I love any kind of interactions?? Don't be afraid to comment or repost with tags, it makes my ADHD brain to brrrbrbebeb

shoutout to our bestie boo boo bear SPIDERMAN🕸️🕷️‼️‼️

About KittenNinja14 (aka me)

Hello fellow humans!!

(picture was animated/created by MochiOkanii)

My name is KittenNinja but y'all can call me KN! (Multi-fandom lover btw)

Few things about me are that I'm a huge stan of Dreamworks stuff. Trolls, Dog Man, Bad Guys, HTTYD, Kung Fu Panda, Puss In Boots, you NAME it—!

I also like Zane (Ninjago), LadyNoir (ship from Miraculous), Tripitaka and Wukong (Lego Monkie Kid), and Froggy (Prince Charlie) from The Land of Stories (book). I am also a fan of the SONIC MOVIES <33, My Adventures with Superman, the new PJO TV Show, and Lego Monkie Kid. I am also a Christian girl. I have and will always be a fan of IronDad & SpiderSon. Also really enjoyed mcu’s Moon Knight—Jake my blorbo.

I love, loVE, LOVEEE Disney and Dreamworks stuff. For Disney? Princesses all the way. But I do love almost all of Disney’s movies. Live actions… meh!! But I do admit: Cinderella live-action was fire! I’m slowly coming to love Disney Channel movies at well starting with Descendants. For Dreamworks? Everything lol.

SUPERHEROES: Marvel, DC, they're all amazing!! I love Superman from DC and was a stan of Firestorm and also Booster Gold. ALso love the Batfamily lol. I prefer DC shows (MAWS for ex.) more than the movies. But Marvel? Movies lol. Tho everything post-endgame I watch with a grain of salt lol. Except for Moon knight!! That show is the BEST thing Marvel has created in a long time. Spider-Man (all versions) is prob my fav superhero in general (comics, shows, movies). for MCU stuff? Iron Man, Spidey, and moon knight are my favs.

I like Ninjago! Both the Movie and the Show!! (Movie Zane holds a special place in my heart) In fact, the Movie was the main thing that reintroduced me to this show. I used to watch it when I was younger but then I lost interest. I found the movie in June 2023 and have been a fan of both the show/movie ever since! I'm not entirely sure about DR... i like the concept and have seen all the spoilers but i prefer the OG series vibe wayyy more... prob just me lol.

I used to be a fan of Miraculous, but Season 5 made me lose interest. After LadyNoir became friend-zoned, the show went on a sad decline (at least in my perspective). But I LOVE the Movie!! And I also think that the Paris special (Shadybug and Claw Noir) is amazing! S6 is slowly gaining my interest?? Kinda?? Love Lila as Hawkmoth! Tho i think it’s Chrysalis now? Idk

I love Lego Monkie Kid <3 It's the first series I have actually watched in order without spoilers in such a long time!! It's a def must-watch XD!! I'm obsessed with the animation <33

My childhood fav character is Froggy. He's my favorite character from a book series called The Land of Stories. This series was the main spark that kindled my love for writing as well as reading! If y'all are looking for a series to read, I recommend that y'all check it out!

Lastly, I am also a born-again, spirit-filled Christian girl. If y'all have any questions regarding the bible or Jesus, feel free to ask me! I'll do my best to answer your question!!

---

Anyways, I'm a writer as well as an artist. Though on this blog you'll mainly see reblogs since I'm still in school and time for creative stuff is limited. I have accounts spread across but they're now dormant since I'm now mainly on ao3 and tumblr

That's all I have for now! Have a great day, y'all!!

[legionofpotatoes]

For real, your take on Mando season 3 is completely on point. But I get not feeling able to say it out loud without a disclaimer before, after, and in the tags to keep from getting shouted at in the reblogs. It's just the messed up nature of being in the SW fandom on Tumblr. Speaking your mind on your own blog is an invitation for buffoonery.

If I were completely honestly, I'm not in the least shocked that's what we got. I've long held the opinion that the worst part about the fandom is the fan opinions and expectations out of a new series, and the expectation that a formula for a show won't change, or that a character will maintain one set mentality/trope while simultaneously offering new, completely different story arcs. It isn't necessarily impossible to pull off, but it takes very careful planning and execution. And, unfortunately, that has never been a strength in this franchise, even before Disney ownership.

For most shows, it's the season 5 slump. After 5 seasons, all the flavor is gone and any additional seasons are painfully rehashed at best. For all the corporate financial squeezing that's been done to Mando since the beginning of the show to wring out revenue like its a wet washcloth, it really tracks that were in this place after only 3 seasons.

IMO the only thing that's going to save Andor is the fact that the end of the story has already been told in Rogue One and its confirmed that season 2 will end at that point of the timeline. If it was going to be a 3+ season show, I suspect we'd see the same treatment.

Anyway, I'll stop flapping my gums in your ask box. Your hot take encapsulated what felt off about this season to me. I couldn't put words to it, but it just felt....meh.

I just disable reblogs and try not to tag it in an inflammatory way, my gripes are genuinely like. basic semiotics and story sense, I'm not going after anyone's childhood or feel-goodness. This is all me-problems and me-expectations with a massive machine of commerce that will never give a shit lmao

I too wrote a couple of posts back in s2 days expecting something of this sort going forward after the weirdly presumptuous cameo-baiting of s2 and whatever in the goddamn hell boba fett did with its mando tie-ins, but an entire season of tirespinning sure was a surprising choice. I think writing for TV is fundamentally different than writing for film, so I didn't really see a clear parallel of incompetence within the franchise; and especially with season 1 being so solid in balancing both the overarching and the episodic stuff I felt like they had a neat ramp to milk a decently long character piece out of.

But I can't help but feel like my main problem with the disney/abrams/filoni/favreau era of star wars is its irrationally strong love for the aesthetic. it blinds them to good choices that will then make for interesting stories. gently deradicalizing, humanizing, and then literally AND figuratively getting din out of his shell so he could open up to a child's love could be such an effective, simple to parse, and wholesome core to structure the series around, but that would upend the aesthetic of their cowboy-ass romp a bit too fast and have an end and an identity and all that non-marketing friendly stuff. so they keep withholding his psyche, they keep giving then taking clear communication tools away from grogu, they keep teasing their bond but never outright stating it (I cannot believe after 3 seasons he still hasn't just looked at the baby and directly confessed he loved him), so they can keep bumping those goalposts back and forth while pretending it's progress. because they are in love with the aesthetic.

again, this is my main problem, I don't see this as a problem writ large or even something that represents a wrong way to do star wars. who the hell even knows how you treat a franchise that large at this point, what importance you assign to aesthetic vs. story, all that jazz. I don't know. they're the ones with the analytics data, so they definitely know better. and maybe that's the saddest part

[lenteur]

random thoughts about tell me that you love me, episode twelve

(the rest is under the cut because i'm worried about your eyes having to read ALL OF THAT and this post might contain spoilers)

Not even two minutes into the episode and a lot has already happened. Mo eun was adopted. I did not expect that. At all!

When the mom said "I don't want our daughter to become a child too mature for her age to open up to her mom" I had to take a moment because that hit close to home. I'm sure it has happened to way too many children but when something traumatic (no matter what it is) happens, children have a tendency to keep things to themselves. It's like they "magically" become adults and they want to protect those around them by not sharing what's bothering them. I haven't read any study on this topic so please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt (I'm only talking from experience) but children have this kind of sixth sense where they know when something extremely serious is happening so they begin acting like adults when it shouldn't be the case. The need to protect those around them is even bigger when it involves their family. A child doesn't want their mom and dad to be sad so they'll try their best to protect them even though they (the kid) shouldn't do that. I'm having a hard time trying to explain this because my emotions are getting the best of me as I'm writing this. I got emotional watching this drama, but that sentence alone has unlocked something deep in me 💔

I'm just confused as to why do hun would admit to stalking seo kyung and burning the college building just like that. He might have heard the mysterious woman say it was him on the phone but those are just rumors. As far as we know, the real culprit hasn't been arrested? Idk man I'm just meh about this revelation. It feels rushed...

Do hun judging seo kyung for still having feelings for jin woo when he's the one who has stalked his crush and burnt a building because of her. He should look at himself in the mirror before making such comments about others.

Seeing the scene of seo kyung being stalked made me think back on her and jin woo's breakup. When she got home after finding she was actually being stalked, her first instinct was to call jin woo to be reassured. But then, she realised she wouldn't be able to hear his voice (because he's deaf). It's moments like these that must have been the cause of their breakup. Of course, she'd want to be reassured by her boyfriend when such a traumatic event happens. Hearing his voice would have helped a lot. But mostly, being able to vent or cry (whether on the phone or face to face) must have been the best solution to appease her heart. Unfortunately, she couldn't do any of that with jin woo. While it could be weird to some people that she'd break up with him because of his disability (she has a deaf father so she should know what a relationship with someone that is deaf is like), I can kind of understand why she did it. She was still young at the time (early 20s I assume) and I think her enthusiasm and him (maybe?) being her first love, seo kyung let her heart make the decision of being in a relationship with jin woo. It's only several months later that the more rational part of her took over and made her realise what a relationship with a deaf man entails. I think it's important to see that even though someone is related to a disabled person, that doesn't mean said someone will understand everything about their disabled partner and things will flow easily. Even though two people have the same disability that doesn't mean the disability will have the same impact on them. There are varying degrees of disability (if I can call it that). What I'm trying to say is sure seo kyung has "some experience" with deaf people because of her father but that doesn't mean the relationship with jin woo was easy, far from that. When feelings are involved, everything gets even more complicated. Anyway, I'll stop here because I'm only eight minutes into the episodes lol

Linking to the previous comment I made, we see mo eun facing the same struggle as seo kyung. She's having a hard time communicating with him because of his disability. She's going through stuff yet she can't directly tell him because she has to think about it and then start to sign to him or text him. It can feel lonely because she's living something while he has no idea what's happening. I wonder how she'll handle that obstacle. We've obviously seen how seo kyung decided to end things between her and jin woo. I don't want that to happen to the main couple but I can't help but wonder what the consequences of that will be. It's a lot to carry on one's shoulder. Mo eun is learning things about jin woo's past from other people. Things that are serious. Up until now she's always let him talk about himself at HIS own pace, she never pushed him to admit stuff. But now I feel like she might try and push him a bit more because there's a lot of stuff she doesn't know about.

On a side note, ji yu and ki hyun are such great friends. They're there for mo eun and jin woo no matter what. I'm glad they have amazing support.

I did not expect this episode to make me so emotional. I need to lie down and digest everything that happened.

I'll give it a 9/10
