NEW REQUEST NEW REUEST-

after a looong night with them, reader woke up with a very sore leg and have some trouble walking 👁️👁️?

OMG I READ THIS HALF ASLEEP AND THOUGHT IT WAS COMPLETELY INNOCENT. Like the reader was walking for the whole day w him and have sore legs :)

It was the eye emoji cleared things up for me to know that this was nsfw 👀

“take responsibility”

if you’re sore after having sex with them

*nsfw content

(ben, gerard, jake, donald, wolf)

ben park / park humin

Okay okay, let’s connect this to my other hcs. This dude is big ok.

He’s big and he can go for however many fucking rounds you want.

And that’s only on a normal day.

If he’s really horny, then just imagine how many rounds it would take to finally tire him out.

You woke up feeling a numb pain all over your body.

Ben was pretty damn rough last night. You actually felt like you were going to pass out if he made you cum another time.

Groaning, you rub your eyes, sitting up to examine the state of your body.

Pulling away the covers, you were revealed with hickeys and bite marks littered literally everywhere on your body. But it’s clean at least. So, Ben took the time to clean you.

Well good fucking job. Because if you wake up in that state AND is still dirty. He’s gonna catch some hands fr.

You heard some rustlings behind the door, and there you see. Your overgrown puppy boyfriend. Fidgeting with his fingers, looking oddly nervous.

“What are you doing?”

“A-are you feeling okay? Do you need anything?”

You deadpanned at him.

“Hm. Where are my clothes?”

“Oh. They’re in the dryer- Figured you wouldn’t want to wear yesterday’s clothes-“

“Then give me one of yours.”

He looked at your figure, then stared blankly at the floor.

“That’s too lethal.”

“Then?! You want me to go eat breakfast completely naked?!!”

And Ben decided that’s even more dangerous than the former. Quickly, he grab the smallest t-shirt he has in his wardrobe and handed it to you.

“Sorry. I- okay I have no excuse, I’m realllly sorry, babe.”

“Tch, stop with that. I’m so tired of you saying sorry and sorry only to keep going for more rounds after that.”

He sat on the side of the bed, feeling extremely guilty when you winced as you put the shirt on.

“You fucking asshole. Next time don’t push it in so deep. I have a migraine now.”

Ben promised to not touch you for a month after that, wanting to let you recover. Although.. let’s say, he’s not the strongest man when it comes to teasing.

gerard jin / jin gayool

Gerard would spoil you so much.

The two of you hadn’t had the time to be intimate with each other for a while now.

You have been busy with your school organisation life, and Gerard with his endless part-time jobs.

Even then, it was pure coincidence that your team decided to go on the location survey a day early. Leaving you with enough free time to visit your boyfriend at his place.

When you arrived, Gerard was passed out on the sofa.

You dropped your bag on the floor and made your way to your boyfriend. Lying on top of him.

After like three hours, you woke up. Feeling something rubbing against your thigh.

You looked up to see a red faced Gerard.

“Sorry, it’s been a while.”

He really made up for lost times after that.

Remembering how he was last night, you couldn’t even imagine Gerard acting like that in a normal occasion.

It’s not that he was rough or anything. He just won’t fucking stop.

“What’s with me today? I can’t seem to calm down.”

So here you are.

You wince as you sat up from the small bed. Gerard is still asleep next to you.

You give him a small kiss on his forehead. Stroking his hair gently.

He must’ve fallen asleep right away last night. Because you feel absolutely disgusting.

Taking a step away from the bed, you tried to walk yourself over to the bathroom, only to fall straight down with a thud.

Startling Gerard awake who immediately went to you and picked you up to the bed.

“What were you trying to do?”

“Baby, I need a shower.”

Biting the inside of his cheek, Gegard stroked your hair with an apologetic smile before putting on some trousers to get some water and wipe you clean.

He would be so so sweet about it too. Kissing your hand as he wiped down your body. Bringing you food in bed.

Anything you need, you get.

“I’m sorry for last night..”

“It’s fine. I liked it.”

“Ahh.. please don’t rile me up again.”

jake ji / ji hakho

With Jake, I see a very oddly specific scenario.

You were reading a new book you just bought. It had taken the book a month to arrive at your doorstep as it came from overseas.

So basically you’re very excited to read it. To the point where you would just ignore Jake’s advances towards you.

“Jake, seriously. Go grab a manga from the corner or something.”

“But, babe! I wanna do it pleaseee!”

You shoved him away in annoyance, making him scowl as he returned to his seat across from you.

With a brilliant, brilliant idea. He smirked, approaching you to whisper something in your ear.

Jake left your house swiftly after that. Leaving you dumbfounded and taken aback. But what does it matter. You have your book with you and you’re going to finish it by today.

Except what he said to you had more of an impact than you thought it did.

“If you want to read that book so bad, do it. I won’t come see you, or contact you. When you finally feel like doing it, come find me.”

You shook your head, feeling stupid. Fine. If that’s how he wanna do it, then so be it.

But one day turned into three. And three days turned to a week.

You’re feel a migraine building up. You can’t concentrate on the lessons at all. And your body feels hot every so often you catch a glimpse of Jake’s picture on your phone.

You just know that this mf is enjoying what he’s doing to you.

Eventually, after the two weeks mark, you caved. You texted Jake to meet you.

You really wanted to (affectionately) slap that grin off of his face.

Long story short, the two of you stepped into your apartment, he immediately pushed you to the back of the door. Kissing you as he began to frantically undress you.

“I didn’t jerk myself off at all for the past 2 weeks. You know what that means, right?”

Once you guys are finished, Jake would be back to his usual cheery self.

You didn’t know how many rounds you two went, but he really emptied all those accumulated loads from those two weeks out.

And for some reason, you felt more relaxed than you were the past week not seeing Jake.

He also would spoil you a lot after that, but not as much as Gerard.

He would give you massages, cook you food, bring you drinks. Rather than serving you, he would just be happy that he could see you again.

donald na / na baekjin

Ah yes, this guy.

When Donald is drunk, or if he drinks. It will take him a long long time to cum.

So, if you go and do it with Donald after let’s say a Union dinner.

He won’t be stopping until either one of you passes out. Most likely it would be you let’s be honest.

You woke up feeling like absolute shit. You’re hangover, your body hurts, you feel sticky, and sweaty.

A certain blonde is gripping you by your waist, maybe a little too tightly. Nuzzling onto the crook of your neck.

“Babe, let go.”

Upon further lucidity, you realised that he’s still inside you. And for fucks sake, he’s hard.

“Ugh.. y/n.”

Well, ngl his raspy morning voice is kinda (very) hot.

But no. No, no. You can’t take care of him right now. What you need is a shower. That’s right. Shower.

“I have to go shower, Donald. We’re both really nasty right now.”

Squinting open his eyes, Donald groaned, only pulling you closer. Unconsciously bucking his hips when he does so, making you gasp.

Shocked, slapped his thigh. Startling him a bit.

“Baby, why?”

“You! Let go of me, otherwise I’m banning sex for the rest of the month.”

“That’s too cruel, y/n. I didn’t even move when you passed out on my dick last night-“

“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT!!”

Donald laughed. Finally pulling himself out and picking you up with him to the bathroom.

“I can walk by myself.”

“No, you cant.”

The first fifteen minutes, he would really try to clean you and himself. But then he hadn’t really had the chance to relieve himself fully last night, right?

If you still can, he will ask you to help him with your hands. Otherwise, he’ll just do it himself and finish on top of you.

You’ll end up having to wash yourselves 2 times after that.

wolf keum / keum seongje

Wolf is rough on a normal day.

So imagine how this dude would be when he’s in pent up. For a whole month.

You were away for the entire summer to a summer school in London.

You should be thankful it’s in London, because if it’s anywhere in Korea, Wolf would kidnap you right back into his house within 2 days of you being away.

For a whole month, this mf would be an absolute nightmare for everyone around him.

He’s much more irritable and would snap at anything that breathes. Only calming down when his phone dings with a notification from you.

Today, you were supposed to return. As you told Wolf you would. You were only gonna stay for 3 weeks.

But some things came up, and you had to stay for yet another week.

When Wolf heard this, Hwangmo was ready to defend any expensive items in sight from Wolf’s rage. But was surprised when he simply pocketed his phone, eerily silent.

Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing, but he’ll take this over another broken macbook.

Wolf was smoking in his bedroom window when he heard the front door of his apartment click open.

You took your shoes off, putting all of the chocolates you bought for him in the fridge and walking into his room.

“Wolf?”

The second he sees your figure step in, Wolf immediately lost every ounce of self control he has in his body.

He immediately pulled you into a deep kiss, hands roaming all over your body. Pushing you to the bed as he sucked and bit on your neck.

“I’m done waiting.”

So that’s the story of how you end up with a personal purple haired butler who wouldn’t even let you lift a single finger.

“I’ll do it.”

“Wolf. I can do it myself, I’m just sore not sick.”

He wouldn’t say it, but he feels a tiny bit guilty when you said you couldn’t walk to the bathroom when you woke him up the next day.

Would be very clingy and cuddle you close after fulfilling every request you ask from him. (he would do it without questions)

LAST QUESTION I PROMISE if the answer to the previous ask is no then you're comfortable maybe I could ask if you got more nsfw headcanons of Matqueen? 👉🏻👈🏻 if you don't want to answer that here it's ok I'll understand, again the fic is great love it 10/10

Oooooo yesyesyesyes for SURE. I think about this a LOT because I'm a frisky little kitty lmao

Lightning: before he realized he's gay and while he's still living in the spotlight and dealing with substance abuse and depression, he went through women like used tissues. He had a new girlfriend every other week, and he pretty much treated sex with them like any other vice he used to escape from his own thoughts. It was never really fulfilling, and was never the kind of guy to look at their faces or groan out their names. Once it was over he was usually annoyed if they decided to stick around his house, but not enough to say anything.

After he spent the night with Mater [and his dick] he thought "yeah okay maybe I was doing it wrong" and honestly after that point he started to feel fulfilled by sex and find joy in it, exploring his kinks and preferences. He figured out from the very first time he had sex with Mater that he realllly liked being told he was doing a good job.

Yeah he's a praise kink haver for SURE. Tell him he's a good boy or anything along those lines and he's putty in your hands. He also learns that he gets a thrill from doing risqué activities in public, and having sex in semi public places, like when he grabbed Mater's hand while they were in the mall and rushed him to one of the stall bathrooms to suck his dick.

There's a weird state of mind he goes into sometimes where he like... gets stupid [there's a name for it but I don't remember what it is] when he gets horny and it's hard for him to form sentences and such, which for sure doesn't happen all the time but it definitely happens a lot [one time he was cockwarming Mater while they sat on the couch playing video games and his brain was MUSH and he kept losing lmao]

He's a sub for sure, [although not the subbiest sub to ever sub] but he doesn't always have to bottom. They like to mix it up with the positions and who's doing what. Anyway I've rambled enough about Lightning so now it's time for:

Mater: definitely charmed by Lightning's pretty boy nature and attitude from the start, and he was exited when Lightning went in for the kiss but confused when he ran away. He knew it was Lightning's first time bottoming so he tried to be gentle that night, which he was pretty good at all things considered. He would've been fine with being Lightning's one night stand just there to try out gay sex, but he was thrilled when it turned out he *did* want to keep being with him [hooray!!]

He gets flustered when Lightning flirts with him, Lightning will throw out a line at him and he has absolutely no idea what to say, going red and maybe pulling his hat down and shuffling his boot [it's adorable]. But when they're alone together he's *very* good at initiating, they'll be watching a movie together on the couch and he just puts a hand on Lightning’s thigh, and it's alllll over from that point lmao

They both get... *antsy* when they go a long time without seeing each other, which kind of happens a lot, and one time Mater didn't even know how badly he wanted to see him until they met up again after maybe a few months, they were at some kind of event so he still had to wait a little while, but the second he could he dragged McQueen’s ass to his truck and they got busy right there in the backseat.

Another way they like to try and bridge the distance between them when Lightning is away is for Lightning to call him on the phone, and usually the later and night the more horny the reason for calling lmao. Mater will talk to him and hear the cute sounds he makes as he listens to him getting off on his voice. He likes to picture him in his mind during those calls and likes how easily he can get him off without even being there

He doesn't ever call him, since he doesn't like to be a bother, but sometimes he goes through his phone for pictures of him. Most of the time he prefers physical photos, which he makes sure get taken while Lightning visits or when he visits him

Somehow they figured out that he's got a thing for being kidnapped, so there's that. Every once in a while they'll do the old tie-him-up-threaten-him-with-a-knife-ride-his-dick roleplay. It tends to be on the non-con side but they have safewords and make sure they're both all good afterward.

Speaking of, Mater is the KING of aftercare. This man will clean you up, offer you his clothes, his shower, anything you need, then spoon with you to your heart's content as you fall asleep. He will also cook you a delicious ass breakfast when you wake up... he's so loving and nice oh my god

Anyway I could go on and on but I've been yapping long enough... hope you liked the headcanons anon!!! X3

okokok i did the 4.2 archon quest thoughts below

i really loved it.... except things involving the whale. the whale's whole part in the story literally ruined the flow for me LMAO when they threw the whole revelation of "the whale wants to eat everyone because it THIRSTS FOR PRIMORDIAL SEAWATER" i was just like. really. REALLY. REALLLLY.

it felt like they just needed to force in a weekly boss and extra lore the way they did it. the overall fontaine archon quest could easily have had nothing to do with a space whale. the lore they did drop through skirk could have been interesting in a different context but it felt so irrelevant here.

that being said neuvillette was pretty sexy when he was like "let us go EXECUTE the BEAST". my guy was MAD mad. also skirk literally chucking childe through the portal was hilarious.

rest of it though. god. loved. well actually beginning and end kind of dragged on but furina's trial (ignoring the whale) was awesome. mixed feelings on focalors but furinaaaaaa FURINAAAAAAAAAA god you could really see how she suffered and the ending where she disappeared because she just wanted to rest... OUGH. also really loved how emotional the encounter between neuvillette and focalors was like i can only imagine the wild mix of emotions neuvillette was going through.

hmmmm what else okay random bullet points

WHAT THE FUCK DID SKIRK MEAN BY REMAINS OF THE THIRD DESCENDER. HUH. HUH?????????????????????

i'm confused how like. geographically it can flood in fontaine. isn't it a raised lake????? if a raised lake sitting on a plateau is flooding what in GODS name is happening to the rest of teyvat. whatever. teyvat has its own laws yeah yeah

the way the whole last part of the arc was like "yeah neuvillette just solved everything with dragon powers." lol. lmao even

i really don't like charlotte lmao

oh MONA was an interesting surprise but also feels like she was there for no reason i feel like they could have done more with her especially since her whole thing is literally HYDRO and FATE

wrio on the boat WRIO ON THE BOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

honestly my appreciation for furina really shot up through the roof. i didn't care much for her before honestly but yeah SHE GETS MY RESPECT FOR THIS ONE.

focalors' hair really bothers me tbh..... the way they rendered her long hair does not suit the bob cut thing furina's model has lol

i can't actually think of anything else my brain is fried. mostly just feeling vast disappointment about the whale but really loved everything with furina and neuvillette rotating them in my brain at high frequencies rn

do u have any tips on how to not look like an idiot at the gym like where can I learn good form and whatnot I want to be huge…

Good on you, anon. I used to spend a lot of time on bodybuilder forums for tips, especially when it came to technique and building a solid routine for max gains. First things first I swear by drop sets... but only do that shit once you know the max weight u can handle at any given moment while maintaining proper form within reason (its okay to safely break form, in order to get those last few reeeeally difficult reps in). If ur really new I'd reccomend you focus on getting an idea of where ur at and what weights and lifts your different muscles can handle, like, take not of ur max weight and max reps to failure. Get to know ur strengths and weaknesses, and decide what u wanna prioritize. For example, my strongest assets are my lats- I developed this way as a result of being an avid swimmer during childhood, and so I decided to lean into that strength. atm I can do, at max, 3 sets of 10 rep lat pulldowns at 100lbs, before I have to lighten to 90lbs, do another few sets of 10 to 15, and continue decreasing weight until I'm at 50lbs, and then I'm done. So find your limits- and realllly focus on how this feels, build that "mind-muscle connection"- and then progressively push them, once you feel like your "max" is getting a bit too comfortable. Youtube is very useful for getting a visual on proper form, and finding professionals who can explain and demonstrate how and why shit works. Always research your sources. Thankfully once you've watched a few of these vids you'll be recommended lots of shit titled "Why Althlean-X is a HACK!" .....you learn just as much from being shown what doesn't work as you do from seeing what does. Also I'd hate to reccomend a male but my go to for info is seannalewanyj. Unfortunately there aren't many female bodybuilders on youtube giving in-depth tips (they're very active on forums tho)... I admire leanbeefpatty a lot for hitting the mainstream and inspiring so many women to lift and get big (I soooo often hear women say "I want to go to the gym but I'm afraid of getting TOO muscular" which (I remember seeing someone make this comparison NOT OC:) is kind of like saying "I want to go to university but I'm afraid of stumbling into a law degree") but I didn't find her til I was already a year into lifting by which point I was already deep into shredder science that I didnt find her tips helpful and she mostly just does vlog type stuff anyways. Oh fuck before I forget, if you can, be sure to warm up at home so you don't have to get down on the crowded gym floor to grab ur toes and all that shit. Its nice to be able to pretty much just get straight to business as soon as ur there, and your fellow gymgoers will thank u. I think stretching is the one thing where one of those 20 minute follow-along exersize videos are helpful. Best of luck, anon... feel free to keep me updated on ur mad gains. I know you only really asked about proper form here but I figured this all ultimately ties into proper form and not looking like an idiot at the gym 😊 <3

OFMD, Good Omens, and The Brett Sherlock Holmes show

Really pretty green knee-highs I made out of some thick tights

Sometimes. Depends.

My go to outfit in general is a long skirt, white blouse, belt, vest, and some american duchess shoes. I often add a necklace for jewelry

Omlet

Whatever's handy

Black tbh, though I am proud to have a variety of color

Antique radios and phonographs/antiques in general

I love rose scent, and storms are really nice

Aesthetic

I prefer contacts, but I haven't worn them in some years because my eyes were too dry from insomnia

Resilience

Pen

Home or nature

No houseplants at present, though I want to get into it

I don't own any hoodies. I generally wear a shift or nightgown for loungewear

A new, prettier copy of the Fanny Farmer cookbook (I was giving my sister my old copy)

The original broadway run of Peter Pan

I put together a peasant outfit with a dress I had, a belt, and a t-shirt for a wimple.

Normal Math I guess?

Renoir (Impressionist victorian women in fluttery dresses with flowers) Or whoever it was who did all those renaissance paintings of normal, fleshy naked women where they all look like goddesses (His name escapes me), Or the Pre-Raphaelites. Those are good.

Iced, though it very much depends on the day and drink

Old folk songs that I have rotating in my brain

I like to think so

Don't have any, don't want any, though I have used clip on earrings and I wouldn't mind trying temp tatoos just for fun

I cook and bake, though my specialty isn't quite either. My specialty is a molded chocolate cream (it's kind of like a chocolate pudding, but molded and pretty. It's a victorian dish)

I have a shell keychain that was in my house when I was growing up. It's pretty and I'm attached to it lol

I'm decent in the water. I love swimming; I feel like a mermaid

I did not. We had playmobile. My favorite playmobile was a horse and cart with a little girl that we had

Ish? I have stuff neat so I can find it.

Don't remember

Like an iridescent Rainbow with glitter that doesn't exist. My hair is realllly long and I want to look like a fairy princess

Headphones. Earbuds hurt my ears

Yes

I still have it. It's a stuffed animal blanket thing from when I was a baby. It has the head and front legs of a lamb, white with pink satin. I call it Lambie

I don't think I'm very good at most table games, but I'm okay at pool if I play regularly

Don't mind, just don't be a nuisance

Blackmore's Night. They're amazing and no one has heard of them

I got some sleep last night and stayed in bed all day today, so I feel better than I have recently :)

A big spreading oak, with lots of shade and easy/sturdy to climb. Bonus if it makes an enclosed hideaway

I don't wear deodorant. My soap is rose scented.

No games. I have a flipphone for call or text

Light off, with this cheap battery powered starry sky lamp I have on. It's really dim and pretty and peaceful

Keep it in my wallet. It's money right?

Yeah! I've been working on switching to cursive because I like it better, and it's starting to become habitual, so I'm actually weirdly excited about this question lol

Ghosts (2019). This website wouldn't shut up about it.

I do.

I have a soup plate thing that's shaped like a fish

sleep, watch the rain, do something peaceful. I like to walk in the rain, but I wear glasses so it's hard lol

Hard to say. I'm always trying to figure that out myself (My brain is holding me hostage and won't turn off) Warm, with the heaviest blankets ever. Pitch black dark and a storm outside. Someone next to me who cuddles me close in their arms. Pillow at my head, between my legs, under my legs, and supporting my upper arm (side sleeper). I need to feel like I am in a cocoon lol

Infatuation.

I am not as attracted to him without his spectacles 🙊 HAHAHA. Completely different person man. Those bring balance to his entire face.

But why do all the aunties say he looks like a young Elvis.

He actually kinda does.

*looks through photos* Waitttt he has his moments where he kinda hit different LOL.

But I’m dying at the way he called for literally 1 min just for me to pick up to us both making a face, take FaceTime photos, and start dying.

Me: That’s it??? That’s why you called?

Him: Yeah HAHA

*we continue making faces and taking photos

Him: Alright Ima go.

Me: You really called just to do that 😂

Him: Yeah and to say goodnight.

Me: Okie goodnight, see you tomorrow!

Him: Tomorrow?

Me: Oh… nvm. Goodnight.

HAHA I HOPE HE GETS SO HAPPY SPENDING TIME WITH TWO OF HIS FAVORITE PEOPLE TOMORROW 😚💟 I’m so nervous to meet Nanay though. I realllly hope she likes me bc she’s so important to him.

Also I’m actually so happy he called bc he’s called every day this week except for today and I was kinda sad about it. But I know it was my fault bc I was moody bc PMS and time of the month 😀 for the first time ever when it got kinda quiet I said, “Okay I’m gonna go” “Why?” “I just want to” “Nah okay you’re acting different” “Wym?” “You never say that, what’s wrong?” “Nothing, am I not allowed to go just bc I want to?” “You are, but you’ve never said that” “I’ve said that” “Not to me” “That’s true” “Yeah, you’ll usually tell me a reason. Either you have to go eat or shower or when you wanna nap you’ll tell me and still stay on. But just bc you want to? Nah” bc I usually just stay even if we don’t say anything and do our own thing.

And then a couple of days ago it got quiet for a few seconds and I said, “Ok bye!” “Tsk wth? Can you not do that please that’s actually really annoying. I didn’t even do anything..” “That’s why, bc we’re not even doing anything.” “Okay so let’s do something then? Wanna watch another movie?” “Haha nooo thank youuu” “Okay see you’re acting different again.” “Fine I’m sorry.” And then we started talking a bit more and I forgot what was said but we got all sarcastic and he said, “Is it bc of your period? Does it affect your brain too?” “Wow that’s actually SO rude. That really makes me wanna go now.” Like I have never spoken to him in that tone too. “I’m sorry I was just asking bc does it?” And tbh it does but at the time I was so offended LOL I WAS SO MOODYYY I’M GRATEFUL FOR HIS PATIENCE. He actually said last week when I know I was being annoying, “I’ve actually been so patient with you” “Patient where? I’VE been patient with you for months. You’ve been patient with me for a day” all snappy, and then I realized he was right and he looked at me like “Exactly” LOL I NEED TO FIX MY ATTITUDE THIS WEEK BRUH.

just wanna say i love how the ow fandom has been growing lately. it feels like pretty much every week since ive joined a new handful of blogs pop up and start liking carrots posts and posting fanart and stuff and it just :3 :3 :3 makes me giddy because im obsessed with ow (if you couldnt tell) and seeing more content for it and more people enjoy it as well is like the best thing ever. tho i am glad that its happening gradually and not as like a big BOOM in popularity cus like. not that i would mind our wonderland getting more popular... okay maybe i would. but what i mean is as much as i would love for more people to play ow it would also inevitably cause drama which is the last thing any of us want i think. even the arcadekitten fandom (which is bigger than ow but still quite small in the grand scheme of things) has some weird stuff going on. albeit its very minor stuff and is pretty easy to ignore but the fact that even such small fandoms can start having drama is worrying. ngl sometimes i get frustrated with the fact that i always end up obsessing over the most obscure stuff when theres so much media with big and active fandoms waiting for me right there. and even when i DO like popular stuff (like tadc for example) it never becomes my "main interest" and im just. normal about it. though perhaps its actually a blessing in disguise because like i just mentioned bigger fandoms = higher chance of drama.

OKAY WHAT THE FUCK this started out so positive but it got sour so quick aghhhhh. i still wanna end on a good note so um. please play cemetery mary and our wonderland if you havent already (idek how u ended up following me if u havent played either of thsoe LOL) theyre really realllly good vns and i think tgey deserve more fans. also if u have any other indie vn/rpg recs feel free to drop them down below!!! :3

#sobbing i derailed so hard from the original topic blaaaargh #thats just how my brain works i guess. um #quamais rambles

A Court of Thorns and Roses: Missed the boat, but got caught in the waves

Dear Aliya,

Booktok might know what they’re talking about.

I’d been seeing artwork and hearing snippets from this series for a while and eventually took a chance on the first book. I can’t say how glad I was, I love a good magical romance with severe parallels to Beauty and the Beast.

Well within reason.

It's actually the enemies-to-lovers trope that I wholeheartedly adore, and it's in this series a few times so naturally I was hooked. Stockholm syndrome isn't ideal, but pining and dancing around one another until someone confesses? My kinda book.

Shall we dot point? Stop me if I'd spoil things

Characters Maas does some pretty good character work in her stories. A bland story is permitted to exist if the characters can carry the show and they did so well that I had to always know what was next for them. So let's discuss a few!

Tamlin Look, we're talking about the first book here. In this one, he was pretty... okay? He's a dude thrust into a bad situation and he's making the most of it sometimes, other times not so much. I kicked my feet a few times, twirled my hair once or twice I'm not immune to charm.

He wasn't my outright pick, though I enjoyed his interactions with Feyre and they might have hit it off better if he was just slightly not so overbearing.

Short of it is, if I got swept off my feet by him I wouldn't say no, I just didn't love how perpetually unhelpful he seemed to be towards the end of the book.

Feyre You know what? I really like some of Maas's female characters. They're as strong and independent as you'd expect a woman in these types of novels to be, but there's always a facet of them that is so grounded it's kind of refreshing. Feyre learned to hunt, put her own needs aside for her family and got rewarded for that for at least a little while. She only wanted simple things, like enough money to look after herself and maybe buy a few paints.

Her cataloguing and noticing colours and everything that an artist would notice was a lovely little touch to make her feel more like a person and I really appreciated it.

She does have a lot of things go realllly well for her so we're walking the fine line of mary-sue character but it pulls back enough that it scrapes by.

Lucien Look, I have a thing for snarky mean gingers and as soon as Lucien opened his mouth I was fully sold on the book. Make of that what you will, but he’s not the only character I enjoyed following who was sporting the red hair and we'll sure get to that.

I was almost disappointed when I found out he wasn't part of the love interest cast honestly cause he had good chemistry with Feyre. I did at first think it was going to be a choice between him and Tamlin, and I would have chosen him! He helped during the challenges, it was my last push to jump ship.

I also find the headcanon that he was staring at Feyre during his challenge, unable to read, and losing his mind because the words on the wall were probably just, no, nope and this one hilarious so bless whoever placed that in my mind.

Amarantha I do not condone the actions and atrocities committed by Amarantha. No one should be excused for what she did.

Now that the formal disclaimer is out of the way she was a little bit cool. She's a terrible person and if I met her IRL we'd be brawling under the mountain, if I were able to get close. In that vein, however, fucking up the guy who tortured your sister to death so hard that all that's left is a knucklebone and an eye that you fused to a ring to force him into uninterrupted consciousness for centuries? My kinda bitch. Not all men but definitely that one and she made sure he never forgot it.

Not to mention she crippled Prythian overnight and kept it under her control for fifty years. She nearly sealed her place on a throne permanently too, if not for the power of love. She was getting shit done, I was almost sad to see her go and not end up an asset to the courts given she was a general to Hybern.

Rhysand Lucian was in the lead till this one showed up. I am just as basic and unoriginal as everyone else and once Rhysand stepped into the story I pointed, cheered and put myself firmly in his camp. (I did cheat a little, he was the primary focus of a lot of fanart.)

'There you are, I've been looking for you.'

Howl walked so this man could RUN. I assumed there was a reason he'd been looking, upon finding out what it was later in the series? What a long play, what a setup and what a payoff.

Under the Mountain was not his finest time in terms of winning over Feyre, he's mouthy and cocky and inebriated her most nights under the guise of lessening the pain of being trapped there. However, as stated a little higher with Lucien, I love a smartass and he fit the bill perfectly.

Plot Girl kills wolf. Girl meets beast. Beast is man. They will-they won't-they for most of the book. He sends her away. She comes back to fight for him. Wins. They live happily(ish) ever after till the next instalment. I give you, ACOTAR.

Okay, I'm not being totally serious because there's more in there and you could bare bones a lot of books this way. I've heard a lot made about this story and how paint-by-numbers it is and while that is true in some aspects it's not true in all. There were a lot of nice, humanising scenes and interesting worldbuilding that painted Prythian as its own place while still keeping snippets of traditional fae folklore and myth. It's not fully fleshed out, but the central focus is supposed to be the romance between the two main characters so it doesn't really have to be.

Other The Suriel CARRIED the drama dispersed through these books, starting with this one. Came for the clothing, stirred some shit and promptly disappeared into the shadows until another part of the plot needs to be jumpstarted. The other magical creatures were also interesting as well, though I couldn't consistently pronounce any of their names and neither could the girls narrating the audiobook.

Golly, is that a segway?

Yes! Speaking of audiobooks, this series is fully covered and I own them all! I don't always have the time to sit in one place so I appreciated that it was all completed and the narrators were great. There are a few audiobooks that I refuse to buy because of the way the narrator's voice sounds but that's a me problem. Another me problem is that they keep changing who narrated what book! ACOTAR and ACOMAF are both the same but it switches once we get to ACOWAR and again during ACOSF (which is slightly less of an issue because we are following Nesta this time). Each lady does a great job, but pronunciations changed and it felt a little jarring at times to experience.

Nothing more comes to mind, so I appreciate you listening to my thoughts. I’ll see you next time, stay well!

Hannah xx

[2:00am]

You sat at the end of the table, swaying slightly in your seat. A department event was tonight and your friends finally convinced you to leave the house for once, claiming it would cheer you up.

"And I hate to admit it, but when he's nice, he's amazing," you sniffled. "And handsome."

You grabbed your friend's hands. "Like realllly pretty." You frowned.

"I hate him."

Your classmate looked at your friend amused.

"Is she going on about him again?" He sighed nodding.

"Damn she's been going at it for a while. Three weeks of just ranting about how horrible he was and how in love she was and crying."

"Why'd he have to say all that terrible stuff," you mumbled as you propped your face on your elbow. "Everything was so perfect." Your head nodded downward.

"Did you know she even had a boyfriend?"

"She blurted it out one day when Koko made fun of her for being single. But she studies all the time like she's in the library early in the morning, goes to classes, then studio, and I don't know when she even sleeps let alone have time to get a boyfriend."

"Or even hang out with him?" She spends her weekends either working or at the studio." Your friend frowned. "I kept trying to get her out of the apartment but-" they glanced at your half asleep figure. "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea."

Their eyes widened as you laid your head on the table, cheek squished against the wood and facing away from them.

"y/n, y/n do you want to go home?" your friend tentatively asked.

"Nope, all good!" you threw a thumbs up high enough for him to see behind you without moving your head. "I'm just going to try to get the room to stop rocking." He nodded hesitantly and slowly your friends started conversing about school and other things while you tried to focus on your breathing. You closed your eyes in an attempt to reduce the strong pounding in your temple.

The door to the bar opened and a tall figure walked in scanning the bar. When his eyes landed on you, he drew in a sharp breath as he took in your slumped figure. Even half-passed out drunk, hair mussed, and head plopped on the table, you were so damn pretty.

"Is she sleeping," a familiar voice came from beside you and your eyes tightened in response. You were too out of it to register it and frankly to exhausted to care about whatever was happening around you.

"I don't think so," your other friend said, "But she was drinking a lot."

"y/n, let's go home." The voice was closer to your face now and you could almost feel the warmth radiating from the figure lowered in front of you.

"My head hurts," you whined.

"I know baby, let's get you some painkillers and then you can lie down."

Baby? He's real? Your friend mouthed at your other friend. He was shocked as he observed the very large man crouching in front of you with a soft expression. His yellow hair was a bit damp and his baby face had faint dark circles under his eyes. And you were right, he was handsome. They didn't expect your ex-boyfriend to look like that.

"Let's go pretty girl," he repeated and you slowly opened your eyes.

"'Tsumu I'm tired."

He swallowed as he felt the ache in his chest grow worse. You sounded so tired. A stark contrast to your usual lively self. Were you sleeping properly? Eating? You had a tendency to forget to eat...

You gazed at him and he resisted the urge to stroke your cheek.

"I know. I'm sorry." He frowned. "There's food at home though. Maybe that will make you feel better?"

You gave him a dreamy smile, "Yay food. Okay."

"Okay," he repeated, standing up while you attempted to.

"I don't think she would want you taking her if she was sober," your friend frowned. "y/n didn't you say this morning you didn't want to see him? What if he does something weird?" Atsumu opened his mouth with an offended expression when you said, "It's fine. He's an asshole but he wouldn't pull anything."

"Besides," you breathed, "I'm going to pretend tonight didn't happen anyway."

Ouch. Atsumu thought as you grabbed onto his wrist for support as you made your way out of the bar. When the cool air finally hit you, you sighed in relief as the throbbing in your head finally decreased. There was a small walk to the main road where the cabs were and you debated kicking off your shoes.

A squeal came from your mouth as you realised you were being picke dup.

"This'll be faster," Atsumu said as he carried you bridal style. He wasn't wrong and you didn't want to walk anyway so you just wrapped your arms around his neck and leaned into his warmth.

Having you in his arms and watching you automatically nuzzling into his chest made Atsumu clench his teeth, upset at the whole situation. If he hadn't messed everything up, maybe they would have been at home, snuggling or watching a movie. Or he could have gone with her and met her friends and they would have gone home happily, safely with each other.

***

When you reached the apartment, you fumbled with your keys before stumbling in and turned to stare at Atsumu as he stepped in after you.

"I'm just going to make sure you get to bed and don't hurt yourself." He said with his hands raised. Your face was expressionless as you just turned and walked into your room, flopping on the bed.

"y/n you need to change," he said following you in. "And you said you hate waking up with makeup."

"I don't care," you said quietly and Atsumu closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath as he walked over.

"Princess, sit up for me? Please?"

You sat up sleepily rubbing your eyes.

"Leg," he ordered and you stuck it out in front of you so he could take your boot off. After doing the same with the other, you watched him disappear into the bathroom.

Is he actually here? You thought hazily. He shouldn't be right? I should kick him out.

But you felt the fatigue in your bones and couldn't find the energy to yell or tell him to leave. After the breakup, balancing everything in your hectic life and doing it all with a smile when all you wanted to do was curl up in bed and do nothing was apparently unsustainable.

Seeing Atsumu made you want to wrap yourself around him and never let go. He was your support and had always helped you through bad days. It was ironic that the person you wanted to comfort you and talk about everything with was the cause of the problem.

You were staring at the floor when you felt something damp on your face. Atsumu was slowly dabbing at your cheeks with a wipe, gently taking off your makeup. He wouldn't meet your eyes as you stared at him. His eyes were tired too and something in them didn't look right. HIs entire face seemed less...bright?

"Close your eyes for me." He shook his head, resisting the urge to kiss you and continued.

When you opened them back up he was finishing taking off the last bit of lipstick, mouth slightly open and then smiling softly when he said, "Okay done."

I'm still in love with you. You felt the words bubbling on your tongue.

I love you so much. He felt selfish at the thought.

You sighed and began unbuttoning your shirt and Atsumu's eyes widened.

"H-hey," pink tinged his ears, "Um I'll go get you some water."

It's not like you haven't seen me naked before. You slipped on a shirt thrown on the floor and pulled shorts on.

"You're wearing my shirt," he commented when he came back in. You glanced down and remembered how you had worn it for the past few weeks, trying to find any form of comfort from the hurt you felt.

"It doesn't smell like you anymore," you mumbled, crawling under the blankets. The instant relief you felt as you laid down almost made you moan. Atsumu didn't reply as he gently set the glass of water by your bed stand.

"I guess I'll go now," he said, standing a bit awkwardly and picking up his jacket from the chair. He froze when he reached the door as he heard a quiet sniffle. The desire to be in his arms was driving you crazy and you felt your willpower crumbling.

"Could you stay," you bit your lip and kept your eyes closed. "At least until I fall asleep?"

There was a silence and you cursed yourself for asking, feeling another pang in your chest at the rejection.

You felt the mattress dip and your eyes opened in shock as Atsumu laid down carefully beside you on top of the blanket. He stuck an arm under your neck while the other wrapped around your back and moved you closer to his chest. He smelled like home.

Your tears had finally stopped and both of you sighed in relief as the tightness in your chests lightened considerably and your bodies relaxing for the first time in a while.

"Does your head still hurt?" he asked quietly.

"A bit."

You felt a hand begin to stroke your hair, smoothing out any tangles before resting on your cheek.

"I miss you," he said to the darkness.

"Me too."

"I'm sorry," his thumb stroked your cheek.

"Okay." you moved up to place your head in the crook of his neck and he rested his chin on top of your hair, tightening his arms.

***

You woke up confused. How did I get home?

Out of the corner of your eye, you spotted a box of meds and a note stuck on top.

"I got you some hangover meds and coffee should be made in the pot. I know you hate waking up alone but I thought it'd be better if I wasn't here. I know it doesn't mean much but, I still love you."

Your lip trembled and you looked up at the ceiling to keep your tears from falling.

"You're such an ass," you whispered. He still loved you but you had already forced Atsumu Miya out of your heart and there was no going back now.

HIIIII!! I really realllly love reading your tags on your retweets! It's one of my favorite things to see while scrolling down my TL. I was wondering if you have any of your fave TEAM 7 gen fics you could recommend? 💖💕 preferably no ships and just something that focuses on their dynamic and growing solidarity with each other!

HELLO! thank you so much omfg 💖 i’m so so sorry it took me so long to respond, i had the answer all drafted out and ready to go and then my dumb ass CLOSED THE TAB and i lost everything 😭 i had to rewrite the post which took a while FJDFSJ but it’s here now!! i really hope these are fics you haven’t seen/read before (omfg could you imagine if you’ve read every fic on this list i’d feel so bad 😭) but yeah!! i hope this helps!! 💖

(also side note, your icon is SO cute, i always see it in my notifs but i never got the chance to tell you until now LOLOL)

MULTI-CHAPTER

komorebi by tomorrowsrain ─ okay, i know you said preferably no ships (we’re already off to a rocky start FDJFKSJ) but this is literally my favorite team 7 fic ever, it’s impossible for me not to include it. it’s kakaobi, and team 7 doesn’t come in until ch. 3 of the first part, but i highly HIGHLY recommend it. seriously, this is my absolute favorite characterization of the members of team 7 & their dynamic, the author does such a good job of building their relationship from teammates to family. i will say the first chapter is a little disorienting (it’s in first person POV, which i usually tend to avoid when it comes to fanfiction, but the author does it so well and it does shift straight back to third person POV for the rest of the chapters). the author is currently writing the chuunin exams arc and it’s literally everything i wanted.

tides by edenfalling ─ omg, this was one of the first team 7 fics i ever read waaay back on ff.net when i was like, 12 years old. unlike most of the fics on this list, this is set in shippuden, but it’s very much AU/canon-divergent. good character dynamics with team 7 learning how to work together again<3

how to make a team by Pleasedial123 ─ basically, kakashi gets his head out of his ass and actually invests time into strengthening the bonds between the members of team 7. don’t get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE canon!kakashi & i know he did his best (he was traumatized + not ready to be a teacher, i get it)... plus, if he was a good teacher in canon, there literally wouldn’t have been a plot. basically this is me saying fuck kishimoto because LOOK at what we could’ve had!!

and so, the sensei supports his students by ihopethelightwillshineupon �� this is really more kakashi-centric and it focuses more on his relationship with each of his students than on the dynamic between naruto, sasuke, and sakura (but kakashi is technically part of team 7 so it still counts!!)

ONE-SHOTS

for warmth by magnificentbirb ─ a scene i wish we would’ve gotten in canon.... like you’re telling me there are literally HOURS of filler episodes and we couldn’t get ONE soft, genin team 7 moment?? kishimoto & studio pierrot, you’ll be hearing from my lawyers.

believing in heroes by guycecil ─ another moment i wish we got in canon because like... can we talk about how, in their genin days, these kids are 12 years old. are you fucking kidding me. also, now that i’m skimming over the fic, this may be more sakura-centric than team 7 centric, but i’d still highly recommend!

the pretty one by theformerone ─ it’s tagged as ot3, but i promise there are no ships! like maaaybe if you squint? but i honestly read it as platonic. one of my favorite fics ever tbh. answers the question that i’ve been thinking about since the manga was released all those years ago: what could have happened if kakashi was too late?

take the fight from the kid by theformerone ─ someone tell me why these 12 year old kids aren’t allowed to process anything on screen.... like, right after the wave arc, everything just went back to normal. like okay, yes, naruto had that moment to grieve for zabuza + haku, but i really just wanted to see a shift in the team 7 dynamics and we never really got it. so take this beautifully written fic instead!! god bless fanfiction.

pray my name by Chancy_Lurking ─ ok so this is a fic that i found today and i’m OBSESSED. i do want to warn you, since you asked for no ships: it’s not tagged as ot3, but it could be if you squint. or, you could argue that team 7 is just very affectionate/very codependent. either way, right after i finished reading it, all i wanted to do was curl up in my bed and cry (but like, in a good way).

just killing time by edenfalling ─ a very short but cute little one-shot that i also just found today! same author as tides, so if you read that first and you like their work, you should check this one out! (or vice versa)

did you inherit a sickness? did you blame god? by hotgirl ─ i literally recommend this fic to anyone and everyone because like?? it doesn’t exactly match what you’re looking for but it does have team 7 moments (heads up: it’s implied sns). this is honestly one of the best sasuke characterizations i’ve ever read. 10/10 would recommend.

of bruised brains and dog baths by sweetpotatopie ─ okay so these last three fics might not be exactly what you’re looking for but i’m adding them if/when you’re in the mood for cute, feel-good team 7 one-shots. this one is just a happy, post-canon piece where they actually get along<3

another day in paradise by ohthelinsanity ─ modern au where sakura and naruto bully sasuke, sakura and sasuke bully naruto, and kakashi is weird as shit. the friendship between naruto/sasuke/sakura that i wish i got in canon. hints of past itasaku and implied inosaku, but it’s very much a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment.

gotta see! finally know! kakashi-sensei’s true face! by Lolistar92 ─ my FAVORITE face reveal fic EVER. episode 101 from naruto is the only filler that deserves rights (and maybe the curry arc because i love team gai, the ramen episode, and all the episodes with konoha 11. but mostly ep 101.)

#for once in my life i don't know what to tag FDFLSDJFL #in my defense it's like 4AM idk anything #team 7 #dai nana han #fanfic recommendations #fanfic recs #text post

Battle Tendency Liveblog: JJBA Ch.109-113

Hard to believe we’re at the end of this crazy ride.

Last time, Joseph had defeated Kars, only for Stroheim to order his men to finish Kars off with UV rays. Stroheim just wanted Kars to hurry up and die faster, and maybe he also wanted credit for the kill, but instead he played right into Kars hands. After Joseph kicked his ass, Kars put on a Stone Mask he had stowed away somewhere, and he installed the Red Stone of Aja into the Mask.

I should probably go over that a bit, since it hasn’t been mentioned for a while. Kars has been perfecting the Stone Mask technology for thousands of years. It turns humans into vampires, but for his species it unlocks even greater powers. But Kars hit a wall in his research. He wanted to design a mask that would make him the ultimate life form, but he lacked the means to power such a mask. He discovered an answer in the Aja Stone, a mineral that focuses light, but he needed a bigger, more flawless sample of it, and that’s the Stone he’s using right now, the one he captured from Lisa Lisa.

So instead of killing Kars, Stroheim accidentally made his lifelong ambition come true. One nice touch I just noticed is that the Mask itself falls apart as soon as it’s finished its task. I suppose, in theory, someone else could have tried it on and get the same power boost as Kars? Would it even work on a normal human? Well, we’ll never find out.

There’s a couple of ways to interpret this. One is that Kars’ “Super” Mask was highly experimental, and it must have been untested, since he’d never had Lisa’s stone until now. So it’s possible that the thing burned itself out after a single use. The other interpretation is that Kars designed this Mask to self-destruct after the first use, because it was never intended for anyone else but himself. The whole point of this was to become the Ultimate Life Form, the very pinnacle of all living creatures on Earth. I think it was implied that Wammu and Esidisi were expecting to share in this power when the time came, but why would Kars have ever allowed for this? What’s the point of being the greatest and best in the world if you have to share that top spot with two other guys?

Stroheim realllly wants to believe this is all a big fluke, and that he didn’t just make the bad guy stronger. The Ripple wound on Kars’ arm is still there, so Stroheim figures he’ll die anyway. Except Kars doesn’t seem too bothered by his injury. And then...

Yeah, so Kars not only repairs his injured arm, he reshapes his hand into a squirrel. Joseph speaks for us all: What the fuck?

For a hot minute, everyone thinks the squirrel he made is kind of cute, until Kars sends it to find another squirrel and kill it. Then the Kars-squirrel tears a hole through Stroheim and carves a trench in a Nazi soldier from chest to eyeball. Then it rejoins Kars’ wrist, and turns into a flower, and then a butterfly. Some Part 5 and 6 pre-references for ya.

Then the sun comes up. Wait, the Joseph/Wammu fight happened around midnight, right? How many hours have these folks been out here? And it’s February, too, so this had to have been a long night. Anyway, the sun comes up, so we’re saved, right? Wrong. Sunlight doesn’t hurt Kars anymore, thanks to the power he got from his special mask. So now what are they supposed to do?

Well, Joseph’s going to use his last resort: running away. Also, he grabs the Aja Stone, for no apparent reason. Kars grows a pair of wings to chase him. He no longer cares about the Hamon users, because they’re no longer a threat to him. But he wants to kill Joseph personally, both to celebrate his new powers and to avenge the deaths of Wammu and Kars.

Smokey joins Joseph, which doesn’t make much sense to Joseph, but Smokey wants to tell Joseph about Lisa Lisa being his mother. Except Joseph’s a little too distracted by the eldritch horror that’s trying to murder him. Read the room, Smokey.

Here’s a helpful diagram of Kars to explain what his deal is now. Basically, he’s immortal and can regenerate and reshape his whole body, but he had that before, just by being a Pillar Man. The big upgrade is that he’s no longer weak to sunlight (and by extension, the Ripple), and he can now replicate the traits of any life form on Earth. He’s faster than cheetahs and has better hearing than bats and so on. He can go for a full year without eating, and he no longer needs to sleep. Sex is meaningless to him, because procreation is only important for lower life forms to maintain their species. Kars has no need for children or bretheren. “There is but only one summit.”

Maybe Wammu and Esidisi had understood that truth all along, and they never seriously expected Kars to share this power with them. They practically worshipped Kars as it was, so maybe they were only doing this for the greater glory of their leader.

So what does Kars plan to do with all of this power he now has? The Aja Stone was his only goal before, and that’s done. He has no enemies to fear, and as Speedwagon observes, there’s no way left to kill him. This page states that his only purpose now is to create a world to match his own desire, but what is that? What’s Kars’ vision for the Earth now that he’s reached this point?

We never really find out, and I suppose that’s why it’s convenient that he decided to start out by killing Joseph. For all we know, he would have just chilled out and left humanity alone after that, but this way there’s still an immediate threat to deal with.

Miraculously, Joseph manages to stay ahead of Kars long enough to find the airplane that brought Stroheim here. You’d think Kars could have caught up to him with all these fancy new powers, but Kars was never in much of a hurry. He took his time to search for the Aja Stone, and he made it a point to trap Jojo and Lisa rather than risk fighting them fairly. So even now, when he has such an overwhelming advantage, he seems to be playing things the same way. He has no weaknesses, so he may as well take his time and stalk Joseph, if only to watch him squirm.

Joseph tries using the plane’s weapons to even the odds, but Kars grows armadillo hide on his wings to protect himself, and he fires the armor at Joseph like shrapnel. So machinery doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

So Joseph just flies south, using the plane’s engines to give himself a comfortable lead. He’ll run out of fuel in a couple of hours, but Speedwagon calls him on the radio and tells him that they’ll figure out a plan. Except that Joseph already has his own plan. There’s a volcanic island off the coast of Italy. I assume this is Stromboli Island, since Italy has only three active volcanoes, and Mt. Stromboli is the only one on an island. Anyway, Joseph plans to lure Kars into the volcano, and destroy him with molten lava. I mean, Kars is still flammable, right?

Speedwagon hates this idea, because he doesn’t see any way for Joseph to pull this off without getting killed in the process, and that sounds way too much like what happened to Joseph’s father and grandfather. Oh, and his great-grandfather. I didn’t notice George I up there until just now. Speedwagon tries to tell Joseph about Lisa being his mom, but Joseph can’t hear him because of all the piranha noises in the plane. Wait... what?

Yeah, all the feathers that Kars turned into armor and launched into the fuselage? Well, he’s still controlling those things, and now Kars has turned them into piranhas. Well, I guess not literal fish, since they’d never survive up here. The point is that Kars can control every cell in his body and mimic any animal traits he wants, so if he wants to make small bitey creatures to wreck Joseph’s plane, he might as well make them look like piranhas. ALso he makes an octopus that tears up one of the engines.

So Joseph bails out, but he’s a sitting duck in that parachute. Kars calls him a butterfly caught in a web, which is the second time we’ve seen that analogy in Part 2. Araki just out here telling everyone what Jolyne would be wearing in twelve years.

But the parachute contains a dummy. Why did Joseph waste time drawing a face on it? Because he knew he had to fool Kars’ razor-sharp senses, of course. Kars probably saw the dummy, and got suspicious, but then he noticed the eyes and mouth, and though “Oh, okay, I guess that’s a real person then.”

Anyway, this suckers Kars in so that Joseph can crash into him with his plane and they can both go into the volcano together.

But Kars thinks he can tear up the plane before it lands. Except a robot hand grabs him from behind, and he finds Stroheim stowed away. Wait, so Stroheim outran Joseph AND Kars and hid in this plane before Joseph took off?

Anyway, Stroheim manages to get Joseph out of the plane to relative safety, but he crushes his whole lower body in the process. But it seems to be worth it, because Kars landed smack-dab in the volcano! Awesome! Fuck you, Kars, you screwed over Lisa Lisa, and that’s what you get! He tries to protect himself, but he can’t grow a defense against 1000 degree heat...

... is what I would say, except no, Kars totally does that. Just when Joseph thinks Kars has succumed to the lava, Kars pops out and slices off Joseph’s left arm with his goofy blade.

How the fuck did Kars survive? Well, he couldn’t grow a lava-proof shell, but he could create a porous layer beneath the shell, and use the air inside to insulate the rest of his body from the heat. That wouldn’t protect him indefinitely, but it was enough to get the drop on Joseph.

So that’s it then, right? Not even molten lava can kill Kars, unless you could shove him down in there and keep him still for like ten minutes, and who’s going to pull that off? Stroheim begins to lose all hope...

Then we get a flashback to Kars’ origin. Long, long ago, there was a race of subterranean humanoid with long lifespans and an aversion to sunlight. Prehistoric humans thought of them as gods or demons because of their reclusiveness and power. Also, they would eat humans and animals, so that probably made them dangerous, too.

But I don’t think they were nearly as powerful as the Pillar Men we’ve seen in this story. I say this because the flashback establishes that Kars was the one who discovered the latent power in their brains, and he was the one who invented the Stone Mask technology to harness that latent power. So it stands to reason that much of what he and the others could do was the result of Stone Mask enhancements. The problem is that those enhancements increased the amount of blood they needed to consume, and the others in the Clan feared that Kars’ experiments would destroy their whole ecosystem. So when they tried to stop Kars, he killed them all. The only survivors were himself, Esidisi, and two young children who grew up to become Wammu and Santana.

So that story tells you something about what Kars might do with this newfound “ultimate” power. He didn’t achieve this for the good of his own people, because they’re all dead now, and he wiped most of them out personally. If he would do that to his own kind, the rest of the Earth would be expendable to him.

Back to the present, Joseph’s not giving up yet. He tries to use the Ripple one more time, but it doesn’t work. Worse, Kars counters with his own Ripple. Because Kars can do that now, you see. He’s got the powers of all life on Earth, and that includes Ripple users, I suppose. Worse, Kars’ Hamon power is hundreds of times greater, so he ends up getting badly burned on his right knee.

So now Joseph’s completely out of tricks, and he starts to accept the inevitable. Kars decides that the best way to kill Joseph would be to destroy him with his own finisher, Ripple Overdrive. So he charges up the most powerful Hamon attack he can muster, and just as he’s about to strike...

Joseph impulsively grabs the Red Stone of Aja and uses it to block, kind of like how he stymied Kars back on that cliff in Switerland. Only this time, Kars doesn’t hold back, and the Hamon attack is amplified. It bursts through Joseph’s right hand and into the volcano below.

The narration says that not even Joseph really understood any of this. He just sort of acted on instinct. That bothered me once, but now I see that it wasn’t entirely unconscious impulse. Back in Venice, when Lisa first told Joseph about the Aja Stone, Joseph suggested destroying it to deny Kars his prize. But Lisa said there was a legend that foretold that Kars could never be defeated without the Aja Stone. And that would at least explain why Joseph picked the thing up back in Switzerland before he fled to Mt. Stromboli. Maybe it was unconscious action that made him pick up the stone in this fateful moment, but I think it was a more conscious thought that made him take the stone with him in the first place. On some level, he remembered that legend.

Okay, so there’s a mega-ultra-Super-Saiyan-5-Ripple that just went into a live volcano. What good does that do? Well, it makes the volcano erupt, and it launches Joseph and Kars into the air. So what? Kars can fly. Yeah, he could, but...

You know, Joseph’s lost hand really left an impression on me when I first watched the anime of Part 2, but now that I’ve read the manga, I’ve noticed tons of severed and wounded forearms all through this story, almost as if Araki had been building up to this moment. I’d make a Part 4 joke, but nah, that’s too easy. But it wasn’t even that long ago that Wammu lost both of his hands, and then he launched them as Joseph to distract him. Kars lost his hand before he grew it back and turned it into a squirrel. Hell, Stroheim launched his robot hand at Kars to distract him for the volcano crash. And now Joseph’s hand has somehow launched itself into Kars’ throat to distract him again!

I’m assuming that Hamon energy has a lot to do with this. You’d think Joseph’s hand wouldn’t have survived getting fired up this high, and it shouldn’t be powerful enough or alive enough to bother Kars this much, but it does. So I’m chalking it up to all that Ripple energy. It briefly reanimated Joseph’s hand and made it follow Kars up to this altitude, kind of like how Jonathan controlled Wang Chung’s decapitated body at the end of Part 1.

So Joseph taunts Kars about this, and implies that he planned this somehow. And when Kars pauses to ask if he did plan this, more rocks and stuff from the volcano hit him and send him even higher up into the air.

And Joseph claims that he did plan this entire thing! That’s bullshit, but he hopes Kars will believe it, if only to make him more frustrated. Maybe Joseph didn’t plan all this out, but he seems to have deduced what’s happening here.

Kars has been launched so high into the air, and at such an incredible speed, that he’s achieved escape velocity. Does Kars even realize what that means? I mean, he’s super-intelligent, especially now, and he’s been alive for thousands of years, but what could he really know about outer space? Has he ever even considered it before? It seems like all of his ambitions involve the Earth, and only the Earth, and everything living upon it.

As for Joseph, the chunk of rock he’s on does not fly into space. Instead, it starts to fall back down, and Joseph assumes that he’s probably not going to survive the impact. Eight hours later, Stroheim makes it back and informs Speedwagon that Joseph must have died in the eruption.

But Kars isn’t worried at first, because he thinks he has this whole “vacuum of space” thing figured out. He just takes a page from Wammu’s playbook and makes air jets on his back to expel compressed gas from his body, like the maneuvering thrusts on a spacecraft. Except that’s not nearly enough to counteract the force of the volcano that sent him up here.

Yeah, Kars has no idea how space works. Instinctively, he probably counted on friction to slow him down, except there is no friction in space. He probably also expected his air jets to push him a little bit at a time, and maybe he could pull in more air as needed, except there is no more air. Even the air from his body is denied to him, because it just dissipates into the vacuum of space. Kars talks about the air freezing as it comes out, but I don’t think that’s right. What’s happening to him is like when you use one of those compressed gas canisters to clean your keyboard. Release a lot of the gas at once, and the can starts to get cold. That’s because the liquefied gas left inside the can now has more room, and it begins to boil as it expands. This draws in heat from the surroundings, which makes the can feel cold to the touch. That’s what’s happening to Kars here. All he’s doing it losing all his body heat. Maybe some of the air really is freezing around him, but I don’t know. It depends on whether the sunlight is hitting him, I think.

Anyway, the last thing Kars says is “I can’t go back!!!” And that’s what makes this so perfect. In the anime, we see the Earth recede into the distance as he continues to tumble further and further away. By surviving the lava, Kars had “mastered” the Earth, but now he’s been separated from the Earth. He’s got all this incredible power, but without the Earth, he’s got no one to use it on.

And then we come to the pièce de résistance of Battle Tendency: The epilogue page that establishes, in no uncertain terms, that Kars never returned to the Earth. There’s no miracle escape this time, no clever trick or loophole. He simply doesn’t have the necessary acceleration to push himself back the way he came.

Did he die? Nope, because he made himself immortal, remember? Not even sunlight or starvation can destroy him now. But now death is the only thing he craves, because he’s completely alone and has nothing to do. I can’t imagine he’s very comfortable like this either, because it’s incredibly cold in outer space, and Kars must be able to sense that cold, even if it doesn’t actually hurt him.

And this is such a fitting punishment for a villain like Kars. Just as Stroheim wanted to become superior and lost his humanity in the process, Kars ruthlessly sacrificed friend and foe alike to achieve this Ultimate form, and what good does it do him? It’s become his prison, his hell. At long last, he’s become the supreme being, a world unto himself, but with no one around to lord it over, there’s really no point to any of it.

I just really love this ending. I’m not sure how else I can express it. This is what should have happened to Akio Othori in Revolutionary Girl Utena. But Araki was brace enough to do it to Kars.

I suppose I could attempt some exercise in JoJo Part Comparison and connect Kars’ final fate to all the other JoJo villains. But I dunno, this is getting pretty long in the tooth as it is. I’ll just say that I’m suddenly reminded of Reimi’s final words to Kira in Part 4, when Kira asks where he’s being taken. “Who knows? But I’m sure it’s somewhere you won’t be able to rest in peace.”

So all that’s left is the matter of Joseph’s funeral-- Nah, just kidding, he’s not even dead. What’s weird is that Smokey says he met Joseph “six months ago”, which seems a lot longer than the events of this story. Anyway, Joseph returned to New York, only to find everyone at the cemetary. He wonders who they’re mourning, and he’s shocked to discover it’s him.

So yeah, the rock Joseph was on acted as a “shield”, and he managed to survive the fall, and even ended up near Venice, where Suzie Q found him and tended to his injuries. Stroheim even set him up with a robotic hand to replace the one Kars lopped off. I guess Stroheim never sent word of any of this to the U.S., probably because of Nazi Germany gearing up for World War II.

Anyway, Suzie took care of him for like two weeks, and they got married. So in a way, Joseph did follow in the legacy of Jonathan. Not in the “dying young” way, but the “Beat the bad guy and wake up in the care of a gorgeous blonde lady who eventually marries you” kind of way. You love to see it. But Suzie forgot to send a telegram to New York to let everyone know Joseph was okay, which is why everyone is so shocked and why Joseph is so shocked about them being shocked.

Then we get the epilogues for all the surviving characters. I mentioned this when I liveblogged the Part 5 manga a few years ago, but the stark contrast between Battle Tendency and Vento Aureo is that Part 5 is very ambiguous about its ending. We know who wins and who loses and who survives, but that isn’t really enough. We don’t know what will happen to Giorno Giovanna after Part 5. Does he live up to his lofty dream, or does he succumb to corruption like his wicked father? I think that’s intentional, because Giorno is the “golden wind” in the story. He’s an agent of change, but we don’t get to see the effects of his efforts, only the cause that he fights for. But Part 2 operates in the exact opposite way. We know exactly how and when Speedwagon dies. I’m a little confused how Stroheim could have died at Stalingrad when Kars and a volcano couldn’t kill him, but maybe the Russians had Stand powers. I think the only minor mystery is that we don’t know what happened to Lisa Lisa after 1948. It’s likely that she survived into Part 3, and maybe beyond, but we never see her again.

It’s also kind of weird how upbeat this epilogue is about reporting on the deaths of so many characters. Like, Stroheim died in one of the worst battles in human history, but he went out on his own terms, so it’s cool? I guess? Even the characters without deaths, like Smokey, it’s sort of implicit that he’ll die sooner or later. But it’s a good thing because it’s final and proper. It’s something Kars craves now, but can never experience. A life worth living, made more precious by its limitations. Kars tried to use cheat codes in nature, and he ended up clipping through the map and making the game unplayable. But Smokey, he‘ll be mayor someday.

As for Joseph, we see him in an airport in 1987, bullying Japanese people because his daughter married a Japanese guy and moved there. He’s headed to Japan right now to see her and his grandson, who probably doesn’t even recognize him, it’s been so long.

On the other hand, he appreciates his Walkman, which is either Joseph giving the Japanese some credit, or maybe he’s just too dense to notice the irony.

I hate that he’s listening to the Beatles, because the Beatles are overrated trash. My favorite thing about the Part 2 anime is how they changed his music to “Bloody Stream” by Coda, which a) kicks ass and b) wasn’t a song by the shitty Beatles.

And that’s Battle Tendency. Kind of neat how it closes on Joseph’s flight departing to visit his daughter and grandson, in contrast to the final panel of Part 1, which showed Erina floating in a coffin alone in the ocean. Joseph has bucked the curse and he’s graduated to Part 3, for better or worse.

But I feel kind of weird leaving it here, because I do love the way the anime wrapped up, so I’ll close out with this:

Tsugi ni omae wa “Grazie!” to iu!

Back To The Middle (And Around Again) (Rosnali) - Gigisgoode (fka Katy)

A/N: Hiya babs, here’s some Rosé and Denali fluffy goodness for you all. Set around the events from untucked ep 4. I have a few more works on here under this pen name from a long time ago, and I’m putting a couple on AO3 generally before I update here, so check me out at gigisgoode if you prefer to read there!! Hope you enjoy 💗

Denali’s eyes have been darting around the werk room for what to Rosé

feels like hours now, looking for a kind place to land; desperately seeking a home where she can fall apart in safety. She’s barely present, her hand trembles around her cocktail and she doesn’t even notice when Rosé sets it down on the table, knowing that ostrich feathers weren’t cheap and it was one thing to have to lipsync, but another to have to do it covered in vodka cranberry. The conversation around her goes in one ear and out the other as her brain is all feathers and rose and dance moves and rose and lyrics to a song she’s been performing for years, but she just can’t remember what comes after the first chorus, she just can’t, she can’t.

Rosé’s in full mother mode and it’s freaking her out, feels like she’s watching her crying kid go into nursery and knowing she’s got to leave him there. There’s nothing she wants more than to go and calm Denali, to go and soothe the storm in her head that Rose can tell even from a distance is hurtling around in her mind. But she can’t.

Because what if Denali breaks. What if her knees buckle in her metaphorical skates and she falls. She can’t wipe the tears away; hold her against her chest until her heart returns to its regular rhythm with all the other girls looking. She will not be this season’s Crygi. She needs Denali to be strong, but from the way Rosé can see her blankly staring at her tissue as a streak of eyeliner runs down her cheek, she doesn’t think she’s going to get so lucky.

The conversation ends. Kahmora has all of the Porkchop girls in a group hug, and whilst Rosé doesn’t want to lose her sister first either, no one else was going to see her hand gently grasp Denali’s in the midst of all that tulle.

They pull away. LaLa goes to listen to her iPod, Kandy’s entertaining the others. She’s desperate. She’ll contemplate whether she’s Brooke Lynn or Vanessa later because Denali needs her. There’s a wistful, far away look in Denali’s eyes and she will not deny her any longer.

‘Nali, baby’, she whispers, a hand falling to her hip as Denali turns to face her. Rosé could’ve lost it there and then from feeling the tremors running through Denali’s body as she pulls her closer, one hand around her waist and the other resting on her back of her head, her thumb softly stroking as she gently shushes her.

Her eyes are closed and just as Rosé is about to speak again, she stumbles.

‘I don’t know what it is about you, but I can’t even look at you right now.’

Her words hit Rosé like a fucking baseball bat. She can’t even begin to process them though because Denali’s fumbling again, her hands shakily trying to grasp Rosé’s jacket to ground herself, muttering to herself that she just can’t.

‘You don’t even have to look at me, you know? You don’t have to look at me right now, and you wanna know why?’

Rose’s stability, her calmness, her kindness, gives Denali the confidence she needs to look up at Rosé for the first time that evening from underneath her fringe.

‘You wanna know why?’ Rosé laughs, her right hand coming up to cup Denali’s cheek.

‘Why?’

‘Because you’re gonna have a lot of time to look at me, alright, baby?’

Denali couldn’t help but smile, and Rosé knew she had managed to stop the avalanche. Now, she thought, just to rebuild the mountain.

‘You really beat me the last time we did this, okay? I mean, you realllly beat me and that’s fierce. I want you to do exactly what you did then, go into it with the same energy and the same passion and give it everything you’ve got.’

Denali sniffles and tries to blink her tears back.

‘I have a set plan of everything I want to do. All the moves and tricks I was saving until the end of this competition are coming out today.’

‘I know you do baby, that’s good’ Rosé reassures, reaching out to take hold of both of Denali’s hands. She lowers her tone to even softer than a whisper before she steps forward and says

‘I need you to do this not just for you, okay, I need you to do this for me too because I really need you here with me.’

A soft gasp escapes Denali’s throat and she looks up at Rosé with glistening eyes, whether that was from the tears or something else.

‘I know we can both make it to the top, together. So tonight you have to fight, for both of us to make it there. I know you can do it. You know you can do it. Go out and there and kill it.

The sentiment is final, a kiss goodbye, and they pull away after a lingering hug.

‘You know what to do.’

because i want to, and because it intrigues me, i’m gonna go through all of these images and guess wildly at what i think they’re gonna be/what they represent LMFAO

minus the virtuoso, of course, because we already know about that one, and the necro, because @sepiidae already said it here

i know i just made a Whole Post about an idea for guardian elite spec, but i think this is the one for guardian, y’all. and if not guardian, then maybe revenant???? and the only reason i’m saying this is because the shape of this icon kinda reminds me of samurai helmets??

i think it’s because of the two spikes on top of the head, and the approximate “helmet” shape of it. now, i’m not japanese, nor am i particularly well-versed in samurai or that long era of japanese history, so i could 100% be wrong. but considering that cantha is the “east asian inspired setting” mmo classic (which in itself is a WHOLE separate post that i might make, being east asian myself), it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if anet tried to get something samurai-themed into the game, especially via something like an elite spec.

and for that reason, obviously, guardian is sort of a natural fit for something like a “samurai” theme. to my limited understanding, real-life samurai have a sort of... moral code they have to hold to? from wikipedia, “Bushidō (武士道, "the way of the warrior") is a moral code concerning samurai attitudes, behavior and lifestyle. It is loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry.” which definitely fits up guardian’s thematic alley. but, again, please don’t take me at face value for this without doing your own research into samurai, because i know it’s a heck of a lot more complex and detailed than what i’ve got here!

on the other hand, revenant could be an interesting one here, since, being cantha, there could be a whole host of historical canthan “samurai” (i’m putting this in quotations because 1) i don’t know if they’ll rename it and 2) it’s definitely a vast oversimplification) that could be super cool to channel!!

okay, so, has anyone watched avatar: the last airbender? then you’ll probably know where i’m going with this. it’s obviously a bit of a stretch to identify a specific type of sword from a stylized icon, but the curve of these swords reminds me a little of the chinese dao

which, yes, is the type of sword that zuko used—in fact, he used two! dual dao, dual-wielding.

my current guess for this icon is for the thief. thief currently has access to main-hand sword, but not off-hand—which is also why i disqualified warrior, because it DOES have access to main-hand and off-hand sword. dual-wielding thief????? perhaps ninja-themed, as is often a classic????

i’ve got nothin for this one, you guys. it just looks like a little guy with REALLLLY buff arms and HUUUUGE pauldrons. siege warrior to accompany the siege turtle????? i hope so. himbo rights!!!

my guess is that this will be for the ele!! yes the fire gave it away. the diamond at the center does give me some pause however. we know that cantha’s been using a material called “dragonjade” in innovation and etc. after the whole kerfuffle with the jade wind. it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to guess that maybe that’s what the diamond in this icon is referring to?? but you would think that we’d get a dragonjade-engi class instead, but i have my reasons to hold the engi back because...

THIS. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE NEW ENGI YOU GUYS. IT LOOKS LIKE A ROCKET, AND UNLIKE JEFF BEZOS OUR ENGIS ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE DESIGN AND CREATION OF ROCKETS.

it looks like a rocket, but i’d wager my entire life that this is a fireworks-themed class. cantha!! fireworks!!! engineer!!!!! fireworks were originally invented in china, after all!

and quite frankly, if anet doesn’t do a fireworks-themed engi elite spec, i’ll eat their headquarters. it’s just such a perfect combo!!!!

personally, i think this is for the ranger, because it kinda looks like a bear. or maybe a lion? tiger? and it kinda looks like a shield, i guess? rangers don’t have access to shields yet, so that could be cool!!!

now, i have no clue what class this is mean to be. or, should i say... noh clue. :3c

again, same disclaimer as the above about samurai, which is that i’m not particularly familiar with the specifics of japanese theatre and history. however, i have a vague approximate knowledge of some things, and what this icon reminds me of is noh theatre masks—specifically (after a quick google) the hannya type

i really don’t know which class this would go with, but my guess is possibly the revenant????? or maybe the thief? what we know of stereotypical ninja today possibly stems from theater performers—specifically, black-clad background theater helpers who were meant to be ignored while props were moved around and stuff, so i could see this icon being for whatever thief elite spec too!

this got SUPER long and SUPER away from me but hopefully people enjoy!!!

#eod #eod spoilers #elite speculation #gw2 #long post #sorry not sorry LOL #and also disclaimer again: this isn't an academic research paper and i'm not an expert #neither am i japanese #so if i got anything about the history and stuff wrong here please let me know!!#this all came from my approximate knowledge of bits and pieces of japanese (very broad category) culture #and i am in fact chinese so there are some shared similarities between the east asian cluster of countries #because of their geographical closeness #but they are NOT THE SAME

richboy!seonghwa (part 29)

word count: 5k

fluff

(part 28) (series masterlist)

“look, all i’m saying is apple boy is a lot better,” hongjoong says, picking at a piece of cotton candy and shoving it into his mouth.

“it’s literally not but okay.”

“it honestly is! i have to agree,” san concurs, nodding his head as he nods toward hongjoong.

“it’s not even a real fuckin’ name! tell me then, what is so wrong about j-”

“hey! give me some of that!” wooyoung screeches, attempting to grab the blue sugar from his friend. this leads to a chorus of shouts and shoves, wooyoung and san crashing into one another as hongjoong flicks them both in the forehead, another pair of eyes watching them in amusement.

because even though he could never stand them, he finds it incredibly funny to witness now.

you also can’t help but watch the boys argue back and forth, the entire day a cycle of fighting and bickering followed by a fleeting moment of peace. but then the smallest of things always sets them off again, the chaos of these four teenage boys something you’ll never get used to.

yeosang’s snort pulls your gaze away, looking over at him to see his eyebrow raised and a smile pulling at his lips. “aren’t you glad we decided to come?”

“you guys have to come!” wooyoung whined that thursday afternoon, leant against the locker next to yours after school.

“woo, there’s a month of school left. this isn’t the best time to go take off for the weekend and-”

“that’s what makes it the best time! we deserve the break!” he insists, grabbing onto your shirt and pulling at it like a child. “pleaseeeee.” you let out a sigh, sneering when you see the ridiculous pout on his face.

“stop doing that.”

“then come,” he whines, “we’re leaving friday night and we’ll be back sunday afternoon.”

“it’s not even nice enough for the beach.”

“okay but we’re not going in the ocean! and there’s a fair going on. i’ll win you a prize.”

“oh, well if you win me a teddy bear...” you quip sarcastically, smirking when you hear him groan next to you and stomp his foot.

“y/n! c’mon! don’t be such a fucking square. let’s set the scene,” he says, throwing his arm around you and dramatically extending his hand. “the beach at sunset. you and yeosang are at the top of the ferris wheel, he leans over slowly and-”

“i’m literally gonna throw up on you.”

“she’s full of shit, she’d love that,” you hear a familiar voice interrupt turning around to see mingi and yunho making their way towards you both. you narrow your eyes at the redhead, smacking his stomach lightly causing him to smirk.

“you two! perfect!” wooyoung says, his loud excitable voice piercing your ears. “we’re going on a trip to the beach this weekend, there’s a cute little fair and we’re all going, you guys included. now convince this boring little shit and i’ll see you guys tomorrow after school.”

you reach out to smack him but he gets away with a loud chuckle, taking off down the hallway as you roll your eyes at him. “he’s so annoying.”

"you said it, not me,” mingi mutters, yunho smirking as he bumps his shoulder into the boy. “shh,” he reprimands, his eyes soft and full of amusement as he looks at mingi before training his eyes on you.

“so, the beach?” the boys asks, craning his neck to the side. “why are you being a...square, did he say?” you let out a groan as you slam your locker shut, spinning around as you look up at two giant boys.

“because we’re almost done! would the best time to take off really be now, when all of our college acceptances are coming in and we’re still deciding on what to do and how to pay and how to tell our parents, hey, maybe i wanna go to school with my boyfriend two hours away who you still don’t really know about.”

“shit, are we living the same life, y/n?” mingi asks, a low chuckle leaving yunho as he shakes his head with a growing smile.

and at first, you don’t even realize the implications of what mingi had just said, simply narrowing your eyes at his teasing tone and smacking him in the stomach.

“i’m serious, mingi! so i really don’t think a beach get away is the most important-” and then like something finally registers in your brain, the words die in your throat and you stare wide-eyed at the two boys. “wait....boyfriend!?” you whisper yell, a bright smile on your face as you smack a hand to your mouth.

“are you two finally....” you look from mingi’s face looking at you blankly to a pink-faced yunho barely being able to contain his smile before you jump up and down and clap. “oh my gosh!” you squeal, running right into the boys and wrapping them in a group hug. yunho laughs as he wraps his arm around you, mingi letting out an annoyed huff but patting you on the head nonetheless.

“i knew it! i KNEW it! and i wasn’t gonna be nosy in case you guys didn’t feel comfortable sharing yet but shit did i KNOW it!” you squeal, poking their chests and completely unable to wipe the smile off your face. because you knew from the second you introduced these two boys that something was gonna happen between them.

in the way mingi dropped his guard so quickly, how yunho’s happy and welcoming presence is just able to break through anyone no matter how grumpy they are. how you saw overtime their gazes grow softer and fonder, their arms brushing ever so slightly and how they not so secretly would hang out one on one.

“oh shut up,” mingi says, the blush now forming on his face causing you to giggle and poke at his cheek.

“well what the hell! tell me everything now. who...confessed first?” you whisper the last two words; you had bets on mingi, as shy and bashful as the boy was.

“you know where the perfect place would be to tell you all of this?” yunho asks, raising his eyebrow playfully as he nudges mingi. “the beach.” your face falls immediately, mouth dropping open as your entire spirit turns visibly dejected. “t-that’s not fair, c’mon!”

mingi and yunho chuckle together, the redhead turning his face slightly into the boy’s shoulder as he does so. “you have time for all that shit, y/n,” yunho tells you, “relax for just two days and then you’ll be able to handle all of that.”

and when he sees your face is still contemplative, teeth gnawing at your lip as you let out a sigh, he plays just a little bit dirtier. “c’mon. it’s a realllly cute story.” you narrow your eyes at him, mingi turning back and having the balls to nod in agreement.

“fine!” you yelp, resisting the urge to stomp your foot as you whip your car key (the new but incredibly used car your parents just bought you three weeks ago) out of your pocket. “but using your love story against me is dirty and wrong and it better make me fucking weep.”

“like that’ll be hard,” mingi says sarcastically. you scoff at the boy one last time, not being able to help but notice how happy and relaxed the redhead seems, even in his usual teasing state. how he leans into yunho ever so slightly and how the boy reciprocates immediately.

so yeah. you have no choice. you have to go.

it’s why you drive over to yeosang’s immediately, parking your car and running toward the back to enter the pool house you rip open the unlocked door, the lingering scent of the candle you demanded he get hitting your nostrils as you look around for him.

“yeosang,” you call out, immediately hearing him say “in here baby.”

“so i don’t know if wooyoung told you but we’re gonna go to the beach tomorrow and-”

you walk into his room to see a suitcase laid out on his bed, clothes sloppily thrown into it as you look at him with squinted eyes. he chuckles at the expression on your face, walking over and wrapping his arms around your waist immediately.

“he just called me ten minutes ago,” he mumbles lowly, dipping his mouth to place a kiss on your neck. “said you were still debating.” you wrap your arms around his shoulders, craning your neck to the side as you look up at him.

“and what, you were going with or without me or....?” you tease, narrowing your eyes at him slightly as you nod your head toward the suitcase.

“never, love,” he says, walking the both of you backward until he plops down on the bed. “i knew you’d want to eventually, especially after he said pretty boy and yunho were gonna convince you.”

“mhmm,” you hum, nodding your head at him skeptically as you jump up to straddle him.

“and if they didn’t, i was gonna,” he says lowly.

you giggle at the change in his voice, pursing your lips to the side as you look at him sarcastically. “really?” you say, voice raising as you feel your skin warm. “and how were you planning on doing that?”

and then the telling smirk on his face makes you realize the qualms you had about going were all gonna dissipate. because he gives you the subtlest of winks before grabbing your hips and throwing you down on the mattress. his body hovers over yours as he takes your lips in a kiss, both turning into a smile before they trail further down your body.

“i’ll show you,” he mumbles against your skin, a laugh threatening to bubble from your mouth before air quickly catches in your throat.

“ecstatic,” you say, a smile threatening to pull at your lips because, even with the boy’s usual absurd behavior, it’s been fun.

you guys arrived last night and immediately went down to the beach, dipping your feet in the freezing water and laying out on the cold sand. the ride up had been just as chaotic as you’d expect, all of you loaded into the very aesthetic van san had bought, just because he could.

but even as chaotic and headache-inducing as it was, it was fun. loud music blaring and the wind whipping through the open windows as you all laid out on the seats together, your feet propped up on the little table before yeosang picked you up and placed you on his lap.

“y/n! yeosang! what do you think?” you hear wooyoung ask, your face twisting into a grimace as you and your boyfriend turn around to look at them. “what should we call him? apple boy or jongho?”

“well his name is jongho, so...” you say, smiling sympathetically at the boy who was a new transfer student just two weeks after seonghwa’s departure.

the boys could believe it really, seeing someone who was their arch enemy from their rival school walking the halls one monday morning. they had swarmed around the boy in an instant, hongjoong still very much bitter over the black eye he was given at the ski lodge party.

but somewhere along the way of yelling at him in the hallway and giving him dirty looks, an unlikely friendship had blossomed. and now the boy pushed you out of your spot as the ‘new friend,’ successfully granting him the pleasure of wooyoung and san’s teasing; but hongjoong thrown in that mix now was definitely something unexpected.

yeosang said it was due to seonghwa’s absence, the boy no longer here to balance out the group’s mix of chaos and tranquility. and honestly, you have to agree.

“so what!” hongjoong says, “you didn’t see how much this little asshole would use that nonsense skill as a party trick.”

“you still bitter over that black eye you little bitch?” yeosang asks, catching jongho’s eye as they both share a smirk. but before hongjoong can counter, you roll your eyes and drag your boyfriend away from them and toward the closest ride you can find.

“where we goin’?” he asks, smirking as you drag him away to have him all to yourself.

you look around at the three options: a ride with about forty people on line, something that looks like a flinging death trap and the ferris wheel. and whether it be fate or wooyoung’s stupid words in the back of your mind, the late afternoon sun causing the sky to be a pretty shade of pink, you link your arm in his and drag him toward the ride.

“are you trying to kiss me at the top?” he teases as you wait for your cart. you roll your eyes and rip your arm from his, a boyish chuckle leaving his mouth that has your cheeks flaming.

“maybe i’ll push you off,” you counter, narrowing your eyes at him playfully. he shakes his head, snaking his hand down to yours and intertwining your fingers.

“i don’t think you will,” he says, leaning down to peck your cheek.

“oh no?” you quip, trying to resist the smile threatening to take over your face.

“nope,” he hums, smirking down at you as his eyes soften. “but i think you’re gonna...”

“i’m literally gonna throw up on you,” you hear a mocking voice say, snapping your head to the side to see wooyoung looking at you with a smirk. and if that wasn’t enough, you see mingi and yunho had joined the group again and are also looking at you with their eyebrows raised knowingly.

“told you she was lying,” you hear the redhead say, about to stomp over and pull his pretty, wavy hair before your cart squeaking open causes yeosang to drag you inside.

you both plop down in the seat and the ride starts moving slowly, inching up further into the air as you look down with your hand clasped in yeosang’s; this was a lot higher than you thought.

“what were they talking about?” your boyfriend asks with a smirk, the expression on his face looking like he already knows. you immediate blurt out “nothing,” causing his smile to widen, sliding over and throwing his arm around you.

“did you plan this?” he asks lowly, teasingly, like your cheeks aren’t burning at how he’s somehow still able to make your heart quicken and stomach flutter.

“shut up,” you breathe out, wishing you could push him away but far too terrified of how high you guys are. he notices the fear the second you look down, your eyes widening and face grimacing. “shit, we’re high.”

“what’d you expect, baby?” he laughs out, taking your face in his hand to keep you from looking over the edge. “but back to this romantic kiss you planned out...”

“i didn’t plan it out!” you squeal causing another deep chuckle to leave him. he just can’t help but tease you, loving the way you still react so flusteredly and how fast and bright your cheeks flame. “it was just wooyoung’s stupid way to convince me.

“right,” he hums, his voice sarcastic and full of amusement bringing a pout to your lips.

“you’re always so mean,” you whine, smacking him lightly. but he ignores your harsh words and actions and brings further into him, your head resting on his chest as you rise higher and higher in the pink sky. his hand absentmindedly runs through your hair as he looks down at you, feeling his chest expand the way it always does when he watches you.

it occurred to him after seonghwa left that that very well could’ve been him. traveling off to another country after many unfortunate circumstances drove him away. because he thinks if you went with the obvious choice of seonghwa, if you saw past your natural connection and chemistry together and went with your brain, he would’ve found that he couldn’t handle it either.

he probably would’ve driven himself mad with alcohol in the lonely darkness of his little house, thinking about all the what ifs and possible scenarios he knows seonghwa had probably been going over in his head as well. because it’s hard not to, when you meet someone and feel something for them without any real explanation.

but he knew after the night he confessed his trauma to you, something he hadn’t uttered a word to anyone about, that you were gonna be special to him. whether you chose him or not, he confessed his feelings or not, you were gonna impact him. it’s something he still feels sorry for at times, any time he facetimes seonghwa and sees that unfamiliar background of his parisian loft.

but it makes him feel better to see and hear that his friend is doing well, that he’s getting along with his parents and they’re making time for family dinners. that he made a group of friends and is genuinely enjoying his time abroad.

because he knows if that were him, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it. where yeosang was naturally more snippy and blunt, he knew seonghwa was stronger than him. because even though the boy wears his heart on his sleeve and is just too kind for his own good, he handles things well. and he knows he couldn’t have handled this situation with the grace that his best friend did.

“i love you,” you suddenly hear yeosang blurt out.

your head snaps to see the boy watching you closely, his eyes so intensely watching you that you know his mind must’ve been racing. but its these random moments when he says it that always make you smile the most, your eyes softening and heart fluttering at him.

“i love you,” you say softly, giggling awkwardly because the words still feel so foreign falling from your lips. he kisses the side of your head and you snuggle your head further into him, the both of you humming contently before you realize you’ve been stopped at the top.

“holyshit,” you say suddenly, “you planned that, you sap!”

“what?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at you as his lips turn into an uncontrollable smile. “no i didn’t.”

“oh? so you just happened to the get the urge to tell me you love me at this very moment?”

“yes,” he says simply. “because unlike some people, i don’t plan out these moments like a little weirdo.”

“a little weirdo?” you laugh out, “are you kidding me? you just drop the sweetest l bomb and then you call me a little-”

his hand snakes under your chin to bring you in closer, lips meeting in a kiss that quickly halts your words. you smile into it, putting your hand to his cheek as you deepen the kiss. and curse the boys below that start whooping and cheering, rendering you even more red when you get off the ride.

“don’t say a word,” you say through clenched teeth as you pass wooyoung. “wasn’t gonna,” he counters, linking his arm with yours and guiding you toward a game where he plans on you winning you the animal he promised.

you guys found out that fireworks start at eleven, so you were quick to scramble down to the beach to get a nice view; you were surprised to find it nearly empty until a harsh wind blows from the sea, causing yeosang and hongjoong to go start a bonfire while you, mingi and yunho watch the three others run off to the ocean to see “who could stand it the longest.”

“jongho,” you and the boys say in unison, chuckling with one another before you see yunho looking at you carefully.

“i know that look,” you say quietly, raising your eyebrow at him questioningly.

“what look?”

“the look you get when you’re about to ask me if i’m okay.”

“he does have a look, doesn’t he,” mingi says lowly, your head nodding in agreement as yunho lets out a huff.

“anyway,” he says, pinching the redhead’s arm before he pulls the boy into him. “with the stuff you were worrying about before. why haven’t you told your parents about yeosang yet?”

you let out a sigh as you shrug your shoulders, looking over to see hongjoong and your boyfriend throwing middle fingers up at the three boys frockling in the ocean. “i don’t know, there was just never a good time really.”

“well they should probably meet just once before you go off to college together,” mingi says.

“i know,” you laugh out slightly. “and like i’m not worried about them not liking him. i just...i don’t know if i can do it to them, i’m- i’m sad to leave them.”

“they’re not gonna want you to stay because of them,” yunho says softly. “because you wanna go away, right?” you look to yeosang who catches your eye and smiles softly, moving his finger between yunho and mingi before throwing his thumb up. you giggle and bite your lip to hide your smile, training your eyes back to the boys who are looking at you with a mix of fondness and amusement.

“yeah,” you say quietly.

you guys both had applied to colleges in the city, figuring you could rent an apartment (in both your price ranges) smack in the middle of your two schools.

the idea of sharing a space was appealing to you, decorating it and coming home to him after a long day of classes and work. waking up to him on the weekends and occasionally neglecting your responsibilities on a rainy day to cuddle on the couch and eat take out.

“yeah,” you say again, a smile you know is stupid and lovesick on your face. “i do. i wanna go away with him.”

“then work on telling them, little one,” yunho says. you smile softly at the term, nodding your head before you look at both of them.

“how ‘bout you guys? what are you gonna do?”

you see mingi bite his lip and look at yunho, the boy’s eyes meeting his and it almost feels like you’re intruding on a personal moment. because the softness in their eyes is so intimate and sweet, you don’t think you’ve ever seen anything like it before; you truthfully have to contain a squeal.

a squeal like the loud, ear-piercing one you hear coming from behind you, wooyoung and san running toward yeosang and hongjoong just as the roaring fire starts.

“oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,” one of them yelps while the other one repeats “cold, cold, cold.” jongho’s laugh can be heard echoing through the salty air, your neck craning back to throw him a thumbs up.

you turn back to see mingi still gnawing at his lip and you place a hand on his knee, sending him a small smile as you rub your thumb over his pants. “it’s okay. we can talk later, yeah?”

you rise to your feet when the boy nods at you, licking at your lips and deciding to give them a moment to themselves. and as you walk away, you hear yunho’s deep but softened voice tell mingi “we’re gonna figure it out, okay?”

yeosang sees the frown on your face as you make your way toward him, plopping down next to him on the sand and resting your head on his shoulder. “what happened?” he asks lowly in your ear. you shake your head, looking up at him with a small smile, “nothing,” you assure.

he narrows his eyes at you, looking over your face to see if you’re lying. you roll your eyes, leaning up to kiss his cheek. “i’m serious,” you tell him softly, “everything’s okay.” he hums before deeming your words the truth, placing a kiss to your head before wrapping his arm around you.

you listen quietly to the boys talk to each other, hongjoong saying that seonghwa is gonna facetime them in a little bit. you’ve only talked to the boy a few times since he’s left, a few hours after his flight had landed to make sure he was okay and then every now and then when yeosang or the other boys were video chatting him.

he always seemed happy and carefree, laughing with the boys and telling them all about his new school and friends. you had briefly the boy yeonjun who was just as nice as he was handsome, a good friend for seonghwa to have in a new, unfamiliar place.

yunho and mingi make their way over and you relax a bit seeing mingi smile at you, the boy appearing less anxious and at ease. the eight of you chat until hongjoong’s phone blares, san and wooyoung shooting up excitedly.

“seonghwaaaaa!” they cheer the second the connecting tone of the phone is heard, his deep chuckle ringing through the speaker. “hey guys!” hongjoong pushes the excited boys out of his ear, flipping the camera so he can see you, yeosang, mingi and yunho around the fire.

“hey hwa,” yeosang says, your hand coming up to wave. “hi seonghwa.”

“hey guys. hi yunho. mingi,” seonghwa says and the smile in his voice when he says the last boy’s name is obvious. the chorus of hi’s coming from the couple are quickly drowned out by the first pop of fireworks, a gasp escaping you immediately.

you all turn around and crane your necks up at the sky, watching excitedly as the darkness lights up with sparks of bright colors. you shimmy until you’re under yeosang’s arms, curled up next to him as your head rests on his shoulder. he places a kiss to your head as he smiles, watching as your face lights up at a particularly large array of colors.

and that’s when he realized he definitely wouldn’t have been strong enough to be without you. because he can’t remember how his chest felt before you but he has to imagine it was a feeling of emptiness. a lonely coldness that he hopes to never experience again.

the show was quick and fleeting but enjoyable nonetheless, everyone turning their attention back to the fire and seonghwa on facetime. “so hwa, how’s school?” hongjoong asks, “you almost done?” and before the boy can answer, san shouts, “where’s yeonjun?”

“hey san,” the boy’s voice says, the camera panning to the blue-haired boy who smiles and waves at them. the boys chat quietly amongst themselves, yeosang kissing you on the head before going over to talk to his friend before he has to go.

you smile as you listen to them talk and tease the way they’ve always done, happy to see that the distance has done nothing to lessen the boy’s connection and friendship. they still communicate everyday and have that natural banter that comes with being friends for so long.

“no offense but i hope when we go away, we can-”

you look over to see mingi leaning back into yunho’s large frame, the six foot redhead somehow managing to look small in the boy’s hold. your lips quirk out as you contain the squeal desperate to leave you, your eyes lighting up obvious even in the dark night; they are just so cute, you can’t stand it. how are you not supposed to-

“don’t squeal,” mingi begs, his voice desperate and quiet.

“now why would i do that?” you ask, voice cracking as your resolve is quickly fading away. the boy raises an eyebrow as yunho laughs into his hair, his lips brushing the soft red locks and a tiny noise leaves your mouth as you cover your cheeks with your hands.

“you guys!” you whisper-yell at them.

“y/n,” mingi whines, feeling himself grow pink as he pushes further back into yunho who’s only laughing at his boyfriend’s shyness.

“i’m sorry, mingi, okay, i’m just so happy for you guys,” you say with a pout. “i promise i’ll get used to it. one day. when i’m sixty and finally over your sweet pure love.”

“jesus christ,” mingi grumbles, another deep chuckle leaving yunho before you, yourself, are pulled back into yeosang. “leave them alone,” he says lowly in your ear, his breath tickling your skin causing you to giggle.

and yeosang must look up because you see mingi’s face change ever so slightly, like he’s nervous about being seen with his guard down and vulnerable. but it’s something he’s getting better at and working toward, if the way he doesn’t pull away from yunho proves anything.

but he’s never known what to completely make of yeosang, unsure of just how the boy is gonna respond.

the last thing he expects, however, is the soft smile to cover his face looking at him and yunho. “cute,” he simply states. “love looks good on you, pretty boy. now maybe you won’t be such a dick.”

“didn’t work for you, probably won’t work for me,” mingi snaps back immediately, yunho biting his lip because he doesn’t know if he’s gonna laugh or reprimand him.

yeosang lets out a snort, shaking his head as he tightens his hold on your laughing figure. “you’re probably right.” and then the two boys share the smallest of smiles together that you never would’ve thought possible, thinking back to that day in the library.

“hey, asshole, you could’ve killed me, don’t you understand,” he growls and mingi turns around to face him, staring down at him completely unamused as he blocks you from yeosang’s view.

“don’t you understand that i don’t care,” mingi says, taking one step closer to the smaller boy, “you were being an asshole and you should apologize.”

a bitter laugh leaves the boy, eyeing mingi up and down in shock.

“you’re kidding! i should apologize when you nearly cracked my skull? you’ve got fucking balls, i’ll give you that,” yeosang says and now it’s his turn to take one step closer.

“i only did that because you were being a dick,” he replies calmly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“seonghwa’s leaving,” hongjoong says, flipping the camera on you guys as the four of you wave. “bye guys,” seonghwa says cheerfully, yeonjun’s voice saying “bye!” getting cut off when he ends the call.

the eight of you chat around the fire for a few moments before wooyoung disappears, coming back with a box of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. “who wants to make s’mores?” he sing-songs.

you and mingi immediately perk up out of your designated chests, smiling as you wiggle toward the fire.

“where did you even get that?” yeosang asks in amusement, watching as wooyoung goes one step further and hands out skewers.

“don’t worry about it,” he cryptically responds. but no one seems to have a problem with it because everyone eagerly gathers around, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores on the beach.

and while you were hesitant about this little impromptu trip, it turned out to be just what you all needed. getting away from the stress of college planning and nights of overthinking in exchange for s’mores and fireworks on the cold beach.

because before you know it, you��ll all be graduating. and then summer will pass by in a flash and you’ll go your separate ways, with only the memories of this trip (and many others) until you can see each other again.

“apple boy, give me another,” san says, who is then promptly met with a marshmallow to the eye. and in the typical fashion, the moment of calmness is quickly turned into a chaotic mess of bickering and flying food.

Few Minutes Later......

Dark Pit/Misako/Kyoko: (Groans in Fullness While Their Heads Are Slumped Down on the Table) ('Uggggggggh')

Koopa Employee: It seems you failed the challenge once again. (Smiles Brightly) But at least you slightly better than the first attempt. So you should be proud by that outcome. (Walks Away)

Kyoko: You hear that, guys?.... We've improved .....Yayyyyyyyy.......

Misako: Go fucking figure...... (Takes a Look at a Picture Frame, Under the BBB Challenge Champion Selection, of a Familiar Face) How the hell was your brother able to eat all of this within minutes!?

Dark Pit: I've been wondering that for now and I still don't know.....

Kyoko: Maybe he has a stronger tummy....

Dark Pit: Probably....('Sighs Heavily') Okay. After we let our stomach digest, you guys have any plans on what we should do next?

Misako: Hmmm........DP, do you have a PS4 in the mansion?

Dark Pit: Yeah, why?

Misako: I say we spent the night at your place and play some good ass Tekken.

Kyoko: We did say we would play it some day in the future. (Smiles Brightly) It could be fun. You know, after we teach you the basics first.

Dark Pit: (Shrugs) Eh. I can learn the gameplay all by myself.

Misako: (Gives Dark Pit Yet Another Smirk) You sure you don't want me to teach you anything?

Kyoko: Yeah. Misako is like crazy good at the game! Especially 7.

Dark Pit: Oh please. Everyone say they're good at something till they're proven wrong. So it wouldn't be too surprising if you're one of-

Few More Minutes and Twenty K.O.s Later at the Smash Mansion's Living Room.....

TV Screen: K.O.!

Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened at the Screen in Disbelief Before Slowly Turning Misako Beside Him) ..................Okay. So maybe I do need some lessons on this after all.....
