hai salty ^-^!!!! i’ve been thinking about your mw2 hcs recently and decided to draw something for you :3 i did most of 141 + roach and könig, which got me thinking. some of the people who played mw2 did NOT play it for the plot. they played it for the men. what if the player was one of them? cause i’ll be the first to admit these men do not deserve to be as fine as they are. you don’t have to respond to my question if you don’t want to. more art is probably on the way. ty for being who you are <3!!!!!!!
Omg, I hadn't even considered factoring König and Roach into this, these are just fantastic. :D I really love how you characterized everyone in this, the jealousy that the boys show is almost palpable lmao. It seems the only one who isn't a new target of theirs is Roach, at least before he steals your attention from them too.
As for the men of MW2 themselves, yes, I completely agree; I'd say a good portion of us only gained interest in the game because of them. (I mean it's COD, it's not like the plot is very relevant most of the time anyway, right?)
Although, if the Player also had this same attitude, they'd probably be very flustered just by being around the 141 (+ König), which already kickstarts their other vessels' jealousy. It also doesn't help that the 141's group can fulfill the same "roles" that the grunts can; if you want a highly dangerous killer to protect you, Ghost can do it just as well as Hank. If you like funny guys, Soap has that covered, or if you prefer the more commanding, analytical leader types, Price fits into that niche, and so on. Just from their positions and reputations alone, they're threats to the grunts, but this is made a hundred times worse if you're actually attracted to them as well.
(You never seem to blush or swoon around the four mercs nearly as much. None of them were particularly jealous people, but that seemed to be thrown away the moment they saw just how close you were getting to these new vessels, and far, far too quickly than they ever anticipated.)
The four grunts already have huge issues with having each other to compete with, so having an additional group of individuals to deal with is just adding to that. The fact that you obviously like them so much is actually even more difficult for them to process because of the one thing the MW2 guys have an edge over them with: they're human. How can grunts, arguable beasts compared to your kind, compete with one of your species for your affection, let alone an entire task force of them?
#everyone gaze upon this immediately#we love Roach in this household#ask#chat tag#other's art#fav#nevadancitizen#more hcs coming tomorrow 😉#tw: yandere#madcom x reader#samau#also thank you for the compliment#it's very appreciated :') <3333

𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴: Sergio Ramos x Female Reader
[TW; SUGGESTIVE STAMPEDE, BRUISING]
𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵: 2.5k
𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺: As you and Sergio Ramos have become more intimate, you decide to surprise him at a game one day. When an incident occurs that results in a small injury when you were having a fantastic time, Ramos tries his best to make you feel better.
𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦: Sorry for the wait! College has been having me in a choke hold -3- I Hope you like how I represent your idea ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚!!
[Translator Spanish is used- Note that translation may be wrong.]
(っ◔◡���)っ ♥ REQUESTS ARE OPEN ♥
Sergio Ramos and you have been friends for a long time, but recently, as a result of your continual flirting and demonstration of your mutual interest in one another, your connection has deepened. As it's a crucial Champions League game, you plan to surprise him at his game today without telling him in advance. You knew that he was already anxious because they needed to win this game in order to move on, so you didn't want to add to his anxiety by letting him know you were there. In an effort to get to your seat, you excuse yourself and pass through the other fans. You don't bother to sit down once you've arrived at your seat. The guy in front of you is standing up, so if you were to sit down, you would be unable to view the field. You could have secured first row seats, but you did not want to ruin someone else 'special occasion' since you are personal with Ramos. As a substitute, you obtained second-row seats so that he can still see you when he emerges from the PSG team's tunnel. Screams and cheers break out, and when you turn to look and see people leaning down close to the tunnel's edge, you realize the team is heading for the field. You smile as you see Sergio Ramos enter the field and the team unite for a team photo for their social media team. Both teams line up for their respective anthems following the completion of the picture session, and then they take their places on the field. A few moments later, the referee blows the whistle to start the game. You join the lively group around you and yell loudly as you take in the atmosphere created by the PSG supporters.
The game ended soon with a 3-1 score. The folks surrounding you are going crazy, jumping up and down and waving their flags. You giggle as you leap with them, hoping to match their excitement because you are also having a good time. Ramos screams because he's so delighted they won, and the girls behind you scream loudly as he starts to run towards the section you're in. "HE'S COMING OVER HERE HE'S COMING OVER HERE!," the girls cry, evidently fangirling. You start calling his name as you see him jogging over and start waving your hands. The woman behind you pushes your hand away as you continue to wave your hands and call for him because she feels as though you are blocking her view even though you are not, saying, "Watch your fucking hand lady you are blocking him from seeing me." You turn around, "What the hell is your problem?" "Don't throw your arms up in front of me to block my view," she sneers as she peers at you. You merely stare at her, shaking your head before turning around to the field once more and starting to call out his name, hopping up and down joyfully as you wave your hands once more.
Ramos notices you in the audience as he approaches just off the field and beams joyfully since he had no idea you would attend his game. His smile never leaves his face as he removes his shirt with the intention of giving it to you. How could he not be happy right now? His future girlfriend is present tonight in addition to the fact that his team is still in the champion league tournament. When he gets nearer to the crowd, his eyes stay fixed on yours, but what occurs next makes his heart drop.
The crowd becomes more frantic as he approaches and reaches out with all of their power to try grab the jersey. Nevertheless, due to the girls behind you, things start to become hectic. The woman behind you assumes that Sergio Ramos is looking at her despite his eyes being fixed on yours. She screams loudly and shoves you hard, knocking you off your feet. As Ramos anxiously runs up into the stands after seeing you fall, she rapidly leaps over the seats and starts pushing people in an effort to get closer to him. Now that he is among the crowd, things only get worse as numerous individuals attempt to touch him or take pictures with him. When Ramos jumped into the crowd, the security was taken aback, but they started to weave their way among the individuals to protect him. Most of the fans are now being pushed back by security as they do their best to deescalate the situation. “Y/N!!,” He shouts, ignoring the others around him who keep clutching onto him in an attempt to draw them in his way. When you stand up, he is able to see you once more, but as soon as you do, the mob starts to push you away from him, creating a significant distance. He sees how uncomfortable you now are, and the painful expression you now have. He notices your current discomfort and your distressed appearance. Attempting to get to you by squeezing through the fans, his blood is boiling right now.
When Ramos jumped into the crowd, the security was taken aback, but they started to weave their way among the individuals to protect him. Most of the fans were pushed back by security as their hands tried to grasp Ramos.
As adrenaline rushes through your body, you sniffle while trying to hold back tears as you grab your side and battle desperately against the oncoming anxiety attack. You jump as a security guard rapidly takes your arm and says, "Ma'am, I'm going to h-." Ramos says, cutting him off, "Get your hands off of my girlfriend. Hearing him call you his girlfriend would make your heart swell with joy if the situation were different, but right now you are too preoccupied to pay attention to your breathing. Ramos promptly lifts you up in bridal style while ignoring the guard's apologetic demeanor. The guard then points out the best route for Ramos to use so that he can simply leave the stands and return to the field so he can pass through the team tunnel. You turned your head so your face could be buried deep into his chest, and you could do nothing except cry there in his arms. You're feeling all the emotions now because the recent occurrence happened so swiftly. If you had not stood up right away, you might have suffered catastrophic injuries. Fortunately, only your side appears to be suffering rather than you being in danger of being trampled to death. Maybe it's because of his big strides, but before you know it, you're in the team's medical room. After placing you on the hospital bed, he swiftly returns to you after locking the door to the room. There is only you and Ramos in the space; there is no staff. He cues, "Mi amor, ya estoy aquí, no te preocupes... no te preocupes(My love, I'm here now, don't worry... don't worry)," as he sits down next to you, embracing you with his arms in an effort to comfort you as the tears continue to fall down your face and your breathing continues to be quick. You start to settle down, shakily exhaling and sniffling as you gaze up into his eyes. His heart sinks as he glances down, seeing your eyes moist from all the tears you've wept," Are you hurt anywhere?" You nod your head and indicate to your side, raising up your shirt to let him see your side. He detects a red spot on the skin, but it doesn't appear to be anything that requires immediate hospitalization; you will likely only sustain a bruise. "My angel, I'll never let anything ever happen to you again," he says as he gently touches your delicate skin. “I'm so sorry I did not come fast enough to prevent this.” You shake your head, not liking that he is blaming himself for the issue. “This isn't your fault. I just wanted to surprise you, so don’t take the blame for it. It was some girl in the crowd's fault anyway.” You mutter against his skin as you start to settle down, feeling better that not only is the room peaceful, but you are also with the man of your dreams. You two continue to be in a pleasant silence for a while as you start to feel sleepy from being tired of crying, and the way his fingers massage your scalp only intensifies the feeling. “Ya sabes, T/N... Solo quiero que sepas lo mucho que realmente significas para mí. Este último mes de conocerte ha sido verdaderamente una bendición, y estoy agradecida de tener a alguien como tú en mi vida. Eres tan precioso para mí, mi ángel. Esta noche, ¿qué tal si te llevo a mi casa? Déjame cuidarte.(You know, Y/N.. I just want to let you know how much you truly mean to me. This past month of getting to know you has truly been a blessing, and I'm thankful to have someone like you in my life. You are so precious to me, my angel. Tonight, how about I take you to my house? Let me take care of you.)”
"Sinceramente, solo quiero estar a tu lado Sergio, es todo lo que siempre quiero (I honestly want to just be by your side Sergio, it's all I ever want)," you say, nodding your head as you cast a sleepy gaze up at him. He smiles at you briefly to try to lighten the atmosphere. "Let's head out now then," he says as he kisses your forehead and pats your back. He extends his hand to you as he stands up in front of you. “But your team?” He shrugs, saying, "No me importa. Eres mi única preocupación en este momento.(I don't care. You are my only concern right now.)” Looking at his attire, you give him a sheepish grin. He is standing in front of you with his futebol gear on, only missing his shirt that he took off. "Deberías al menos ponerte una camisa entonces.(You should at least put on a shirt then,)" you say. One of the spectators took it from his grasp earlier when he was in the crowd. He teases you, saying, "No sé, mi amor, creo que prefieres cuando me veo así.(I don't know, my love, I think you prefer when I look like this)," as he starts to flex his arms, making you giggle. "Let's go," you say, grabbing his hand as you stand. As he guides you towards the locker room, Ramos never lets go of your hand. He was able to swiftly get his belongings and put on a shirt before leaving, since, fortunately for the two of you, none of his teammates were inside. Since you did not want anyone to see you with tear-stained cheeks, you were relieved that nobody was present. You two arrive at his home an hour later as the driver drives into his driveway. Both of you express gratitude to the driver before watching Ramos exit the vehicle and patiently waiting for him to approach and unlock your door. You could open the door yourself, but Ramos insists on opening all of the doors for you now that you've gotten closer. Because he feels that "a princess should always have princess treatment," he gets upset when you do it yourself. The moment Ramo opens your door, you thank him and step outside as he starts to explain his plans for you. "After we get inside, you can relax on my bed while I get the bath started for you. I know you're tired, so after the bath, I'll have a quick shower, and we can go to sleep together," he says. As you see him unlock his front door and let the two of you inside, you nod your head in agreement.The fact that he is treating you like this after his soccer game makes you feel a little guilty in your heart, but you also enjoy being babied by him. You both go upstairs to his bedroom and he walks into the bathroom as you walk over to sit on the bed.
You close your eyes for what appears to be a split second but actually lasts for several minutes. Sergio gently shakes your shoulder to wake you awake, calling out "Y/N" as he does so. You start to slowly awaken, rubbing your right eye and standing up to stretch. As you stretch, the throbbing pain in your side makes you wince. Ramos worries, "Are you okay?" he questions you. "Yeah, I'm alright, the stretch just stung a little." He smiles comfortingly at you, "I have everything ready for you, gorgeous. I'm going to use the guest bathroom so just yell if you need me.” Without saying a word, you quickly give Ramos a bear embrace and say, "Thank you for everything." “You know I'll go above and beyond for you,” he says with a smile as he wraps his arms around your body and kisses the top of your head. He briefly clutches onto you before letting go, "Now no more apologies…Go take a shower, you stink," he jokes, causing you to giggle and slap his chest lightly.“It sounds like you are projecting right now.” He shrugs, his smile remaining on my face, “Yeah, you are right.” You smile, shaking your head as you watch him leave the room. You two are now cuddling up to each other on his king-sized bed, 20 minutes after you both washed. You're snuggled up against his side as he's on his back and is lying on his side. As his arm engulfs you, you kneel so that your knee is positioned over his. You yawn and press your cheek even more firmly against his side as you grow more comfortable. You take a deep breath and let his aroma fill your nose. He asks, "You okay?," assuming that you have sighed. "I'm fine; you just smell great." You mutter, already dozing off. With all the tears and the mini-panic episode that had just happened, the earlier event had left you fatigued. He utters a small chuckle upon hearing your remark. While gazing up at the ceiling, he lifts his hand that is currently around you and starts massaging your scalp. You two fall into a peaceful quietness for a short while before he speaks. “I like you, Y/N. As you are aware, I adore you. But today has really shown me how much I value you. I immediately felt I was going to have a heart attack after seeing you among the crowd one moment and disappearing the next.….” He sighs softly and hesitantly licks his lips. "Basically, what I'm trying to express is Y/N… ¿Serás mi novia?( Will you be my girlfriend?)” His statement is interrupted by the sound of your snore. You are sound asleep and are not aware of his confession of love to you. When he glances down, he notices your softly parted lips and heavenly features. "Dulces sueños, bonita (Sweet Dreams, pretty)," he says while smiling to himself as he leans in to kiss your forehead.

All your ocs are so fantastic im obessed! Youre especially good at mapping thematic flaws to balance you characters & make them compelling. Do you have any tips for creating multidimensional characters?
omg thank u!!! um some tips or at least some explanation of what i do. this is going to be pretty specific to making da ocs
1. don’t be afraid to give them a trait or have them make a choice that might make them controversial or unlikeable! i generally start with one or two strong character moves and that’s what i work back from to create the character. for my main warden, it was that she started out fairly loyal to the circle, she would eventually become a blood mage, and she would spare loghain. decisions like that avoid making a forgettable character just the same as everyone else’s, and figuring out sympathetic and realistic reasons for why characters would make those decisions usually turns up something super compelling
2. when you’re playing a quest or making a decision, think less abt what you would do or what’s objectively best and instead think: what’s my character’s frame of reference for this situation? your character’s background gives them a library of experiences to use to understand new situations. for a quick and simple example, my hawke’s entire raison d’être is protecting his family, especially his sister. so when npcs act in defence of their sisters—for example the elven brothers who defect to the qun at the end of act 2 to escape justice for taking revenge on their sister’s behalf, or the blood mage who tries to hunt the serial killer quentin because he killed his sister—he immediately relates and is 10x more likely to be on their side. equally, when he thinks characters haven’t fulfilled their responsibility to protect their family, especially mages in their family, he takes a particular and personal dislike to them. it’s the easiest way to make your character’s reactions and decisions feel very personal and character-building, and avoid quests feeling flat and unrelated to your character’s journey. and the games will actively try to give you these opportunities; there’s a reason i can think of a bunch of quests where sisters come up just off the top of my head
3. as an addition to the last point, try to work with what you’ve got and pick out some of the main themes of the game to centre your character’s main conflicts on. that way everything that happens is going to be about your character
4. pick at least one companion for them to not get along with, or at least have a da2 style grudgingly respectful rivalry with. unless it’s a distinct character trait of your protagonist to try very hard to get along with everybody—and that can work, especially if it’s sometimes a character flaw that they’re so willing to compromise and mediate—having opinions and disagreements humanises them. after all, there are no companions who get along with everybody or are universally liked and that’s on purpose: it makes them realistic. why should your protagonist be any different?
5. this is a pretty standardised writing tip these days but i can’t go without mentioning it. a well written character does not have one pile of good traits and one pile of bad traits to counter. a well written character has traits, which are good in some situations and bad in others. hmm what are some da examples that are easy to pin down. fenris and morrigan are wary: it has helped them survive years of being hunted in their lives as very visible outsiders, but it also keeps them from putting down roots and connecting to others, encourages their prejudices, and makes them dismiss as fools those who seem more trusting. velanna and leliana are defensive: it makes them fierce advocates of their beliefs and prevents them sacrificing who they are to get along with others, but it also means they are quick to judge, overreact to criticism, and are easy to rile up and make fun of. loghain and first enchanter irving are pragmatic: it makes them great tactical leaders, but also makes them willing to sacrifice principles and people. none of these are inherently bad qualities, it’s just part of who people are, and only circumstances—as well perhaps as their ability to recognise their own limitations—will determine whether or not it turns out well in a given situation
6. use this sparingly to make it work properly, but people aren’t completely cohesive and clear, and major out of character decisions—and what would push them to do something so out of character—can be as defining as their usual behaviour. for example, my warden begins her story as a circle mage generally compliant with/an apologist for the circle, deeply loyal to irving. the fact that despite this she loves jowan enough to still not betray him is one of the cornerstones of her character
7. if nobody could have a completely fair evidence-based reason to actively dislike your character then you probably need to go back to the drawing board
this got way longer than i thought it would. anyway that’s my process none of it is universally required but i hope it’s a helpful start. thanks for asking!

Hi! I was wondering, since you already talked about the way you think sf9 sounds in bed, what if we do it the other way round? What kind of sounds do you think get them going/turned on?
This is a great question!
Sounds that turn SF9 on
smut content under the cut
Youngbin:
Whispers and gasps/heavy breathing. Saying things low in his ear - it can be anything - definitely gets him going. He likes the closeness of it, the secrets you all have. Also, the fact that he can take your breath away is super arousing to him.
Inseong:
He likes when you say what you're feeling. Feedback is his thing. Friend, don't make him stop and ask himself if this is all good. Statements such as "Don't stop", "You're so good to me" or even curse words are enough if you have a hard time expressing yourself. Yet, be aware that he loves the talkative ones ^^
Jaeyoon:
More than your moans, he likes to hear the songs inherent in sex. Starting with the wet sounds of a filthy kiss. In the list are the sounds of your wetness when he fingers you (or when you fuck yourself in front of him), noisy sucks on his skin, His hips slapping your flesh as he goes all the way in.
Dawon:
He likes discreet partners. this is not something he can choose or change about his preferences. When you try to suffocate your moans, he goes absolutely bonkers. In his head, you look so cute and pretty trying not to be a mess. If you all are attempting not to be caught he will cover your mouth himself.
Zuho:
He likes to hear his name! It doesn't matter if you are moaning, whispering, crying, screaming. His name being pulled out of your mouth, this fucks his mind. In addition, he always answers when you call him, even when he knows he doesn't need to. He will be there all attentive "yes, princess"
Rowoon:
Feedback as well. something along the lines of "just like this" or simply "yes". When you say a chain of yeses! This stimulates him to go harder, faster, anything. He won't stop until you are pushing him away for real.
Yoo Taeyang:
Praises. My heart is aching. Taeyang is such a good partner because you'll never doubt your beauty with him. The way he is attracted to you is like you had put a spell on him. However, let me spill the tea and say what you really wanna know: he likes hearing praises the same way he praises. In other words, boy likes when you look into his eyes or grab him to confess how good he makes you feel. "Baby, you doing so good". Call him pet names, and he will freak out.
Hwiyoung:
Hisses. You unlock a demon within him when you let the air enter your mouth through your teeth. He really likes such a sound. Maybe it's something in the way your lips look when you hiss. Hisses alternated with moans are just fantastical.
chani:
Omg, this one likes when you swear. He finds it so filthy. I mean, he learned that he is able to make you go dirty. Especially if you don't usually swear, he will get 1000 times hornier. May even tease you for having a dirty vocabulary or threaten to cover your mouth so you'll be a good girl. He won't really cover anything.
Fuck, I really need feedback on this post. Because, damn, I'm not doing well. What did you all find of it? Would you turn our boys on? lol

Previous Fic Lists / Lulu’s List Podcast Masterpost
Happy last 28th of the year! Here are the fantastic and festive fics I was able to read this month. As always, be sure to show your love and appreciation for all of the hard work our fandom authors have put into their fics with kudos, nice comments, and (when applicable) reblogging their fic posts!

I have seen Multiverse of Madness twice now and the first time my excitement levels were just through the roof because of the premiere, so I didn't really have words tbh haha. But I do now, so here are my SPOILER-FREE thoughts:
- I thought the movie was just incredible, I loved every moment of it!!! This is a Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch movie in all aspects, which is what I wanted the most!
- The hype for this movie for me personally was insane since the moment it was announced and I am so happy that it delivered on that hype!
- The action sequences were cool and it was amazing to see Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch's powers on the big screen. Both at THEIR BEST as well, there were some moments that I just wanted to cheer because of their awesomeness
- Benedict Cumberbatch... YOU ARE DOCTOR STRANGE. He is just such an incredible actor and I love this character so much. He was just great here, loved his performance and interactions with other characters!
- But Elizabeth Olsen... My gosh, her best MCU performance to date!! WandaVision was already incredible but this... This is a whole new level. She is just fantastic as Wanda and she owns it!!!!! Every line was delivered perfectly. At one point in the film, her performance legit made me cry, that's how good she is in this movie!
- And put Benedict and Elizabeth in multiple scenes together and you truly get MAGIC ✨ Just sheer perfection tbh
- One thing that really surprised me were the horror elements!! OH MY GOD, I jumped at every jump scare, there is one particular near the end of the film that is SO GOOD omg!!! But I am shocked Marvel went there and I am so happy they did, because that's what they promised and tbh they delivered on that note!
- Cameos were fun (one legit took me by surprise, I hope the internet does not ruin it for you!) and the multiversal aspects were interesting, fun, and not too on the nose, so I enjoyed that.
- Shout-out to Wong, I love this guy!
- America Chavez is a fun addition to the MCU. Loved the visuals of her powers and her banter with the characters.
- Of course, stay after the credits 👀😎
- I need more Strange and Scarlet Witch in the future!!! Like right now, don't you dare Feige to make us wait a long time for Doctor Strange 3 and give Wanda her movie (or trilogy hehe)
- Saw it last night in Dolby Cinema and highly recommend that. I am sure IMAX will be great as well 🤩
- Easily one of my all time favorite MCU movies!! Go see it asap and enjoy the ride ❤🔥

with twitter self imploding i thinking about shifting back here so i am cautiously starting with Some Thoughts on film red under the cut
yes!! i love the confirmation that usopp is the crew's stylist and makes their clothes. actually, i think oda might have mentioned something about usopp making t-shirts but i've also been re-reading saint young men so my wires are getting crossed, probably.
audience surrogate jinbe is great and helpful ngl. he's the only one asking the right questions and i love him for it. also?? they did just a fantastic job seamlessly adding him to the crew here. he had so many cool scenes i am so happy for him. 😭
i wanna say the most out of focus character in the movie was,,, zoro? he was. there. like he did a lot of cool things, but he didn't do a whole lot. which is fine bc i think characters like brook and usopp have been out of focus in the manga so giving them some time to shine isn't a bad thing. i honestly think the only thing zoro got out of the movie was free booze, he's happy. i'm happy.
we'll get to sanji. also zosan so do not fret i will be on brand for this.
im a dumbass who paid $25 US dollary doos for dolby digital (imax though, makes me nauseous) but holy fucking hell that was worth it, the music combined with the visuals looked so fucking Good on screen, i can't really imagine watching it on my laptop screen or even a tv. this is definitely the reason why we need theaters yet ngl.
uta gaslights the entire movie and we love her for it. i love oda's "were gonna make cute, morally ambiguous girlbosses" era
"oh no not another movie about a new character from a main character's childhood who we never met until now" actually i felt like uta's addition to the movie was a lot less contrived than sabo surviving a ship explosion, and tbf luffy is not really one to talk about his past all that much so it works for me.
most of the side characters were well intergrated into the movie with the exception of kalifa, i wish she'd done more but i guess there were already a lot of characters to organize.
im so happy they were like "brulee has such a fantastic devil fruit power we're gonna add her in here and also katakuri, sure, the people LOVE katakuri i love brulee she's so funny and my favorite charlotte sibling WEEPS
ok now we'll talk about the Boy.
sanji was a good boy
i love when sanji keeps his shit together, smooth operator sanji is such a Mood.
YES i did cry at him flirting with brulee omg that was such an adorable scene, i wish he was more flirty with older ladies like that. it feels so on brand for him to do that.
ok back in may i made a joke about sanji and zoro taking edibles in context of this movie and i didn't think there would be drugs in the film because of japan's views on illicit substances. and then uta slips sanji a shroom and i'm fuckin losing my shit. apollo pegging me with the dodgeball here.
music, violence, drugs, Woodstock 99 the anime. Anyway
i'll finish off this ramble with Zosan of course.
the pandering was so explicit i cannot believe toei made them sleep next to each other like a chaste 1950s couple with separate beds.
ok i said zoro did nothing earlier. 90 per cent of zoro's lines in the film were just him flirting with sanji and 45% of sanji's lines was him reciprocating. toei knows exactly what they are doing and its killing me.
the shoulder scene? fucking Shameless zoro. whore behavior.
imagine being anime only and watching zoro knock out a bunch of dudes with out even looking at them and sanji's leg turning into blue fire for 5 seconds. have fun wondering what that's all about.
and that 5 seconds where luffy does gear 5?? knocked my fuckin socks off
final thoughts: if i had the time i'd go watch it in theaters again. this movie?? this movie was made for me!! im sure there are a lot of flaws but personally it worked for what it was lol. 10/10.
#one piece#one piece film red#one piece film red spoilers#please don't click on this unless you've seen the movie#but most of it is rambling lol#talky posts

Irregular Monday Update, Edition 7
Things are progressing apace!
To lead with the biggest jump: superhero Wudgeous (@herotome) has finished base coding through the end of the second act(!), along with adding in sprite movement and effects. This is very promising news for meeting the May/June release goal for the demo, which will comprise the entire first act. It's also fantastic news for the game overall, because their handling of movement, sprite placement, and effects is all 🌟🌟🌟
@remnantation is finishing up Jasper's colors and some additional polish here and there (like blushes 🥰);
John's music now plays in the game, and OMG-OMG-OMG;
Background Countdown: I've finished five more background sketches, with a sixth in progress, and seven remaining for the demo / approximately 18 sketches remaining total (still at 22/60 backgrounds/variations fully complete, since I like to do the painting in batches to color match);
Created some homemade transitions with major help from Wudge;
Made slight additions to the scripting and dialogue in places.
To Do Next (may involve some déjà vu):
Backgrounds! Backgrounds! More backgrounds! More!
Coding in sprite expressions and poses;
Determining exact music cues and placement;
Add in sound effects;
Play around with some special effects and transitions;
Rem will finish up coloring;
Nail down the list of CGs needed (for those unfamiliar with the term, these are special illustrations which pop up in response to specific story events and noteworthy dialogues);
Backgrounds!

Gravity Falls + Overwatch Headcanons
Not sure if anyone else in the Gravity Falls fandom plays Overwatch, but I was sitting here wondering what/how each GF character would play. I know for 99.99% certain Ford would at least play Sigma, but I was curious about the other characters. So far I’ve thought...
Ford:
Mainly plays Tank and Support; mains Sigma (because deep voiced astrophysicist in his 60s who causes gravity anomalies? yes), but will also play Winston, Ana for Support, and maybe a little Widow for DPS. Despite Ford using a pistol most of the time, he feels like someone who’d be a sniper type to me. Fantastic tactically as a Tank, likely makes callouts when Dipper isn’t. As Support or DPS, you never see him coming, very sneaky.
Protective in an indirect way; someone will be going after a teammate and - especially if it’s Dipper, Mabel, or Stan getting threatened - he just instantly wipes them when they least expect it, especially when playing Widow. Plays as a way to wind down after all the science. Plans potential plays in his spare time with complex diagrams of OW maps and runs games like experiments to test his strategy hypotheses. When someone not on his team rages at him or someone in his group over mic, he spends as much time as he can calmly schooling the shit out of them, but will admit fault if he did make a mistake.
Stan:
Like Ford, but leans Tank+DPS rather than Tank+Support. Reinhardt (protective old man), Roadhog (because every time he hooks and insta-kills someone he can scream LEFT HOOK!), Doomfist for punches and additional left hooks, Cassidy because cowboys and cigars, and Soldier: 76 for those jaded, grizzled older man vibes. If he had to play Support, he’d probably play Brig for the brawl fun. Protective as hell. Does not care about being sneaky like Ford, he’ll jump right into the fray and cause mayhem.
Doesn’t make callouts but always is watchful over teammates, especially Mabel, Dipper, and Ford. A bit reckless - often Reinhardt charges and sacrifices himself off the map to protect someone. Hard as hell to kill otherwise. When playing Soldier: 76, will often drop healing packs specifically for Mabel and Dipper (”Here ya go, pumpkin/kiddo.”). If anyone outside of his team rages at him/a group member over mic, he tells Mabel and Dipper to cover their ears and lets loose.
Mabel:
Easily will play any role, probably tries every character, but likes Junker Queen, Zarya (pink hair!), Reinhardt, Mei, and Lucio for either badass/tough lady characters or more upbeat characters. Probably tanks the most. May play Widow on occasion for grappling hook reasons. Often yells “I AM THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION!” whenever she pulls off a good play/ult, especially with Reinhardt. Loves booping people off the map with Lucio. Loves to collect skins and always wears the most colorful ones. If she loses a match, she always stays positive and thinks, “Oh well, my skin was better, so I won the fashion match!”.
Not as reckless as her Grunkle Stan, but sometimes will do certain plays because they sounded fun to try rather than it making logical sense. Scary as hell to play against when she’s Rein (all fear the Rein known as RainbowSparklz31). Her and Dipper coordinate a lot and always play better together. If someone rages at her on mic, she just compliments them until they explode into salt. “OMG TANK DIFF YOU LOST US THE MATCH!” and she’s just like, “Oh, you played really well! I loved your skin! Wanna be friends?” until they ragequit and she just giggles.
Dipper:
This one’s harder... but I think Dipper would actually lean Support the most, maybe a little DPS. I think he’d try to focus on being equally good at all of them for adaptability, but may lean Zenyatta, Baptiste, and Mercy (people make fun of him for playing the stereotypical “girl gamer character”, but Dipper doesn’t care because he enjoys the positioning/ability usage skill Mercy requires, plus likely is the one calling out stuff tactically). For DPS, for some reason I see Reaper, Symmetra, and Tracer. If he has to play Tank, he probably plays Winston like Ford or Orisa.
Enjoys coordinating all of his skins, highlight intros, and emotes. Works with Ford on strategy plans for the rest of the team, and is fantastic at callouts and leading the team (better than Ford even, because as smart as Ford is, Dipper’s been playing video games his whole life). Goes out of his way to help Mabel the most, but also helps Stan and Ford out a lot too, of course. When people rage at him on mic he’s the only member of the Pines family that gets a little offended/hurt, but Stan will step in and swear at someone for him.
McGucket:
Torbjörn onetrick. Torbjörn on attack, Torbjörn on defense. Torbjörn everywhere, all the time. Maybe Junkrat or Bastion if he’s forced to switch. People will rage at him to switch off Torb and he just adds them to his next “make a weapon of mass destruction and unleash it for revenge” list. Cackles whenever he ults. Rambles off hillbilly curses when he dies. Always on mic and doesn’t care if he makes too much noise. Plays his banjo on mic between matches. The banjo music intensifies if it’s just after a lost match.
Soos:
You know this sweetheart is a Support main, with some Tank. Loves Kiriko for the anime vibes, Lucio because DJ r-r-r-right, and Mercy because reasons. Unfortunately, as passionate as he is about the game, he’s not always the best. He’ll go to res someone as Mercy, like “Dood, I got you! Hold o-” and then gets sniped almost every time. But Soos means so well and is such a positive, supportive teammate no one cares that he is a little lower skilled. He’s the team cheerleader and everyone else plays worse when he’s not there. For Tank, he’d probably play Wrecking Ball (hamster teeth man) and D.Va (Korean anime girl). If he had to play DPS, he’d play Genji or Hanzo because also anime reasons.
Wendy:
Tank and DPS, mostly Junker Queen (axes man), Sombra, and Sojourn. Goes for the showy/badass type kills, is insanely good at DPS, but also wrecks with JQ. Doesn’t take the game too seriously but will step in to play if the Pines+ team needs another player if someone has to step out for a week. Will play Brig or Moira if she has to play Support. Great role flexer and person to fill in for any role the Pines+ team needs filled.
Pacifica:
She canonically is an ace WoW and/or Overwatch player:
Probably the best member of the Pines+ team. Kicks ass, is at a higher rank (probably GM) but will play with the Pines+ team down on their rank because they’re more fun to play with. I can see her playing DPS mostly. Plays Ashe because rich girl with a robot butler, Echo, and Widow. Is a perfectionist because of her upbringing, so gets upset with herself if she fails or loses a match. Practices Widow with Ford in custom game headshot matches, and she often gives him pointers because she’s the better Widow. Also often works with Dipper as a Widow/Ashe/Echo+Mercy duo, Dipper damage boosting her while she shreds people. Refuses to play Support or Tank, and no one minds because she’s so good at DPS that it’s asking to lose if she were to play a different role.
Bill Cipher:
A chance to possess and control a digital fleshbag? Sign him up! Obviously not on the Pines+ team, but manipulates the matchmaking to oppose them and troll them on occasion. He especially likes to hard focus on Ford and Dipper (cue his Genji harassing Dipper’s Mercy). Is good at every character because he KNOWS LOTS OF THINGS, but likes Ana, Torb, Genji, Bastion, and Reinhardt simply because they’re one-eyed (or nearly/look that way) characters. Screams about needing healing 24/7. Uses mic to tell other players un-fun facts about their life that he shouldn’t know (”You’re sassing me? You’re the one who’s gonna die at the age of 45 while sobbing on the toilet!”). Will emote at the worst times. T-bags players incessantly, even those on his own team to mock them for dying. Mei ice wall blocks team members in spawn. You don’t want him on your team, nor do you want to play against him.
Gideon:
Tank one-trick because he can finally feel tall. Rammatra for rage, Wrecking Ball to smash and knock people around. May play Reaper, but isn’t very good at him, and rage switches to Bastion to shred players when things aren’t going his way. If he’s forced to play Support, that left click ain’t getting used, because it’s DPS Moira all the way. He doesn’t need to heal, the DPS and Tanks just need to get out of his way or be useful meat shields. Incoherently screams on mic when mad, which is 99% of the time. Threatens to send prison gang buddies after players who insult him.
#gravity falls#overwatch#stanley pines#stanford pines#dipper pines#mabel pines#bill cipher#Fiddleford McGucket#soos#pacifica northwest#wendy corduroy#gideon gleeful#both Fiddleford and Bill's sections got a good chuckle out of me to write

omg bestie you saw the sandman what are your thoughts 👀
I. Loved. It.
Who doesn't love a pouty goth boy? Tom was so good at just acting with his eyes while stuck in that Christmas bauble.
I haven't read the books but I could follow it fine. I even picked up on bits I wondered if it was going to be darker and then it wasn't but it had been in the comic books. I'm a bit glad of it because I think it would be hard to do it justice with everything else going on.
What I loved most is that people were just queer and it didn't matter. (Well, expect when the waitress tried to set up a lesbain with a straight guy). The Corinthian sleeps with men - no one cares. Johanna has a girlfriend - no one cares. It's not a problem. Queer characters are just there.
Back to the characters, ships and story, I loved Lucienne and was glad she got some respect in the end. That bit did feel a bit rushed, but maybe that's just how I felt.
Dream and Hob, oh my. I loved how they built on that relationship. Hob talking about being stood up and it just feeling like it's not just about friendship, it's possibly something more. Very gentle but I appreciated it and do wonder what the future would be for them.
Johanna Constantine, what a babe. I love Jenna anyway, so I thought she was great. The whole thing with her partner was so sad.
Desire! What a great character and I'm so pleased it's being played by a non-binary actor. And the fact that Mason Alexander Park approached Neil in Twitter is just a really god story.
I loved Death too. Just doing her job and doing it with kindness.
Poor wee Jed. Imagine that is your life. How awful of a life he has, feeling abandoned and uncared for at every turn, and involved in a dangerous situation at every turn.
I loved Rose's hair. Just such an iconic look.
Matthew was just awesome.
The Corinathan was a good bad guy. Very intimidating and unpredictable. Always chasing and one step behind, until he wasn't and he was on the front foot.
John Dee became more and more unhinged as it went on. Not that he starred out hinged in any way, but the depths of his need for honesty was terrifying and truly awful.
The goths Chantel and Zelda we're so cool, too. I loved them.
It took me till the end when all the dreams are colliding and Barbie sees Ken 'cheating' on her in the car to realise it was Barbie beside that fantastical creature. I legit had no idea who she was in the dreamland until that point. (Yes, I can be exceptionally dumb sometimes).
I was very upset that Gregory had to die, but then he came back as Goldie.
Oh, and I also saw the additional episode and the way they dealt with the brutality inflicted upon Calliope.
I know this is a messy way of explaining why I loved it but there was so much there. I'm hoping there is a season two. I don't think they've announced that yet.

AAA OMG thank you so much for answering my question! ok ok ok so! first up for the fic desires, right out of the gate - I don't like smut (as a sex-repulsed asexual I find reading about it not fun). also I don't like reading whump that much unless it has a good ending. as for not wanted ships, anything is fine unless it's incest or pedophilia. characters/interactions are a bit harder to pin down, but I know I don't want any fics that involve self-inserts, y/n, or ocs as the main focus, I'd much rather be distanced from the story being told than directly involved in it, if that makes sense? I'd like to read something involving Idia or Ortho or any of the Hades dorm (idk its in-universe name) characters - there doesn't seem to be a lot involving them, at least not that I've found yet. stuff involving the octotrio would also be good, love me some angsty merboys. maybe some stuff with Riddle and the other Heartslybule (idk if that's how it's spelled) students too? if you have any fics involving transformation or body-swapping, those are tropes I really like (I'm reasonably sure that at least some of the Diasomnia students have dragon or half-dragon forms but so far I haven't found anything involving them actually transforming?) In addition, what fics involving the Diasomnia students do you think are the best? (since you are the resident expert in that field, 90% is impressive.) thank you again for answering my ask so enthusiastically, I'm sure you'll be a great help. :)
okay cool beans, ty ty!!! hmm i am,,, unfortunately just abt the worst person you could come to for ignihyde or octavinelle stuff, i so rarely click anything from those dorms. regardless, ill give a list of stuff below!! i will add a little description to give u a feel and if it's something u don't vibe with or a ship u don't wanna read, j skip and try something else, hopefully something here will work for u!
And You Think, "No Escape" (ongoing) GEN – i'm a few chapters behind on this one bc life kicked me, but very good gen fic thus far! mainly focused around the previous overblotters in a weird sidequest treasure hunt forced by some bad guys, with trey and cater in the BG tryna help their situation. VERY long chapters and updates very regularly, so would likely provide a good amount of content
Night Raven Kindergarten (ongoing) GEN – cater is the main char, but he and trey are kindergarten teachers for a selection of the cast as kids!! VERY cute and fun, and delves into the kids' lives at home in rly heartfelt ways that hit, the problems feel nuanced and well-written, and the chars all feel so themselves. whitenoface is the author and i like a lot of their work, i'm recing another work from them later on
Briar Scion (ongoing) Idiasil – p long idiasil fic where the story itself is rly what caught my attention, and now im along for the ride. the premise is rly interesting where essentially like,,, nature itself loves silver, and wants to marry him? so nature is encroaching on school turf while interpersonal romance happens around the plot, its a fun concept! yuu is in it in the bg a bit but its not like,, self-insert or OC, so hopefully u won't mind. updates regularly!
when we don't have the words, chocolate can speak volumes (completed) Idiasil – cute, 30k or so idiasil!! largely focuses on the second years as a group working at the mostro lounge, as silver asks for advice from them respectively and idia works up the nerve in the bg to come in to say hi to silver. mostly just a cute silly story, not as intricate a plot but a fun read!
The Queen's Court (completed) Catervil – first of all, azurith is a FANTASTIC writer, and i highly recommend literally anything they've ever written. this rec branches beyond this fic, but this was my start. this covers cater interning for maleficient herself, and then delves into his newfound connection to the draconias while covering fae history and previous war, etc, it's FANTASTIC and this lore is upheld in a lot of their other work. "Enchanted" is another ongoing work by azurith with cater as a diasomnia student, updates regularly and is very good!! azurith is largely a catervil writer but i think their work is far more important than a preference for ship, i'd rec even if u don't care abt catervil
Snow Is Falling (completed) Cater-focused – idk if u can tell but i like cater interacting w diasomnia content, this is where he goes to briar valley for winter break instead of back home! around 15k, just focuses on his interactions with the diasomnia people while staying with lilia and silver, p short and sweet but v nice :D
devoted malediction (orphaned) malledeuce – of all the fics on this list, this is the one ur most likely to skip. i found this on a WHIM while scouring every existing diasomnia ship tag and was so stunned at the audacity of someone to ship malleus and DEUCE, and to write 140k+ words abt it, that i had to read it. i can't explain it with words,,, the writing style reads so differently than anything else i've ever read, it reads as a STYLE rather than simply reading as 'well-written,' it rly kept my attention. essentially, it's a ...human? au? they're coworkers at a game dev studio, they're human but there's still magic, i can't explain it. there's underground plot-shit with the magic factions or whatever that's so interesting, but it IS orphaned so it'll never update again. i'm devastated. i can't sell this fic to anyone bc of the ship and the length but i enjoyed it very deeply and i'll miss it
Fath-- I mean, Lilia (completed) lilia & silver – ALSO by whitenoface, very sweet familial content of them through silver's life. a 10k must-read for a diasomnia fan
Even a Vanrouge Must Rest (completed) lilia & silver – VERY short and VERY sad but i am legally obligated to rec this. i'd be a bad diasomnia fan if i didn't, very heartbreaking and touching story
Crocodile Teeth (completed) Silsebe – sebek overblot story, decent length and p well written, sebek is infuriating which is Correct for sebek and Correct for someone on their way to an overblot. i've read most of magicalfish's work but i can't rec most to u due to nsfw, this is one of the better silsebe fics out there!!!
Just Out of Reach (ongoing) Silsebe – it DOES update, just not on a regular basis. VERY VERY good fic that FEELS slow-burn, it's 50k+ so far and still feels like the build is just starting up well now. essentially, silver and sebek get in a big fight and lilia magically makes them stay side-by-side till they understand each other, so it analyzes how despite their closeness in their upbringings and how they are partners in their roles as malleus's knights, they don't rly get each other yet and need to cultivate their relationship so it doesn't crumble. very nice story thus far and i look forward to updates!!
WHOOOOKAY that's a lot, i actually don't rly use bookmarks bc i'm typically on incognito on my phone, so i may be missing some, but these came to mind based on ur asks!! if u wanted more for ignihyde, octavinelle, or heartslabyul, i'd rec asking someone else bc i'm truly not the best source ^^;
#ask#headspace-tales#remember to at least give kudos to any u read!! show the authors some love <3#this fandom is unfortunately a lot smaller than im used to sooo there arent a lot of long fics#these are the majority of the long fics i could remember that i enjoy!! def missing some but yippee!!!!#lettie llondonfog here on tumblr is also a fantastic writer but it leans a lot shorter so id j scroll thru her page :D

This is my first foray into the world of drabbles but please gimme allll the feedback! 😊 I just couldn’t get this damn chair idea out of my head so hope y’all enjoy, let me know XD
Summary: You normally aren’t the type to go home with a handsome stranger from the club but today is different. Stressed with life and a long day at work, you let loose for once! But what will the morning after bring?
Pairing: idol!Taehyung x cashier!f!reader.
Rating: PG13 ig lmao
Genre: idol!au, strangers to lovers!au, fluff,
Word Count: 1,787
Warnings: swearing, 2nd hand embarrassment, making out, some hair pulling, mentions of smutty night before, customer service job (yes that’s a warning lmao), sleepy pure bean Tae
You have been living on your own for about a year, and so far, so good until you started your new retail cashier job at a little-bit-of-everything store. It isn't the worst job ever, but it tends to attract all kinds of people in varying shades of odd, so it can be quite mentally draining in addition to all the Karens you encounter. Feeling more tired than usual, you don't even notice the tall, handsome customer walk in and head straight to the back clearance corner where the weird things you might find at a garage sale live.
Until the rest of your coworkers leave for the day, and you are alone because your dumbass manager doesn't know how to make a schedule. So, he has no other option to check out besides you. The sound of approaching shopping cart wheels alerts you to look professional. Still, you almost lose your balance once your eyes focus on this customer. Though his appearance is barely seen with a baggy hoody, baseball cap, and a mask, you can tell this is one handsome dude. The flustered sensation fades slightly once you see him place the only item in his buggy up on the counter to be scanned; a chair with more cake than most people that you threw in the back months ago. Gulping hard at the familiar object, you ask,
Y/N: *turning the chair around to find the tag to scan* “Wi..will this be all for you today, sir?"
CM: *raises an eyebrow with an amused look and chuckles* "Yeah, that's it, but you don't need to be so formal; it looks like I'm not much older than you."
Y/N: *you blush b/c omg he looked at me lmao* "Oh��okay… I didn't mean to offend you; just part of my job. *Bags up the item and places it back in the cart* "Have a nice day…well, what's your name Mr. not old."
CM: *has a fake annoyed look on his face* "Someone is quick-witted, I see… well, sadly for you, I'm not keen on revealing such personal things. Not like this, at least. See you around, Sassy." *Leaves store*
You sit back down on the bench with a hand on your heart beating out of your chest from the mere presence of that man, much less you had playful banter?? And did he just give you a nickname?? Taking a deep breath, you are energized by this interaction and start cleaning up the store so you can leave on time to meet your friends at a new club tonight. One other person comes in before closing, so you can leave work at 8 o'clock on the dot for once! Much as you try not to, you just can't help replaying that mysterious stranger in your head the whole drive home. Once you get home, you blast your upbeat boss bitch vibes playlist as you freshen up and get ready to head to the club.
Entering the club, you spot your friends, and instantly, the stresses of life fade away in the aesthetic lights and boppy music blaring through the stereo. It doesn't hurt that you feel fine as hell, either! After about 2 hours of songs and 2 shots, you sit down at the bar for a breather and some water as you were too busy for dinner, so a couple of shots don't necessarily agree with your stomach despite your attitude feeling fantastic. You close your eyes for a moment as you enjoy the crisp water going down your throat, feeling the cooling sensation all the way down. The relaxation doesn’t last long until you feel a presence beside you. This isn't odd since you are in a public space, but it has the energy of someone waiting to talk to you. Turning to your left and swiftly standing up to show you were stable to whoever was near you didn't work out according to plan. Your legs buckle as soon as you are upright, and you can feel your balance slipping from getting up too quickly as you aren't buzzed enough to be unstable. Thankfully, a solid but gentle pair of arms catch you before you hit the ground and slowly turn you to face him to ensure you are okay. Before any words are said, you recognize him as the customer from earlier today. Your eyes widen suddenly, and you are very nervous about how good you look because most men you've met in clubs have been scum. You start to dart away, but his honey-like voice pulls you back.
CM: "Hey, hey, it's okay; you're safe, alright? I was worried when you came to sit down, so I was on standby to protect you.
Y/N: *is confused* “But wh..why? You don't even know me; why do you care?" *slight pause* "Oohhh, right, you're a guy. I bet you are just trying to play the hero card to get in my pants."
CM: *frowns* “I am a guy, but everything else is wrong. Do you not recognize me from earlier? You are the same cashier, right? Sheesh, that'd be embarrassing if you weren't…."
Y/N: *astounded he recognized you* "Woah… I did, but I didn't think you'd remember me!"
CM: *chuckles and shyly rubs his neck* “I mean.. how could I not? Hard-working, funny, and beautiful, it'd be a crime to not commit you to memory."
Y/N: *bibi di nobody bo you’re a tomato* “I..well.I’m flattered.” *looks down, biting your lip, then head snaps back up with hands on your hips* "Wait… so can I know your name now?? You already know mine because of my stupid uniform name tag, so it's unfair."
CM: *tilts head in, 'You have a point'* "Fair enough, the name is Tae. Nice to formally meet you, y/n."
Y/N: *butterflies a flurry in your stomach, hearing him say your name* "Trust me…the pleasure is all mine. So I have to ask, do you really think I'm beautiful? Like, I know I look hot right now but earlier, different story. "
TAE: "I mean what I say and vice versa, gorgeous. I normally don't do this, but I've been going a little crazy since the store. Sooo, would you be okay if I.. again, it's fine if not, I just wanted to ask because..”
Before he can finish the sentence, your arms are thrown around his neck, engaging in a passionate kiss. You don't break away to breathe until about 10 minutes of your hands roaming all around each other’s bodies and through your hair without a care. Communicating wordlessly, you bolt out of there hand in hand to his car, where the makeout continues for another 5 minutes before you agree to take it to his place. You usually are never the type to have a one-night stand, but something just feels so right with this guy. You feel safe enough to let go of your worries and let something other than your vibrator give you release for once.
*TIME SKIP TO NEXT MORNING*
Waking up in a new place in a baggy Celine t-shirt, the events of last night slowly replay in your head as you goofily grin, feeling elated for the first time in a while. Looking over, you notice Tae is not in bed still. It shouldn't worry you, it's a hookup, after all, but you can tell he's not that type of guy. Curiosity getting the better of you, you wander out of the room, greeted by the cutest little fluffball of a Pomeranian. Squatting and letting it sniff you, it instantly jumps into your arms; walking into the living room, you meet Tae's shocked eyes.
TAE: "He let you pick him up? It normally takes several meetings for him to be comfortable with someone."
Y/N: *shrugs as you release the upper, excitedly panting for his dad* "I've always been good with animals, honestly. What's his name?"
TAE: *picks up the dog and kisses head* "Names Yeontan but I call him Tan for short."
You melt at all the cute you have witnessed in the last few minutes, then you stare off into space, looking shocked about something.
TAE: * waves hand in front of your face* “Hey, y/n, you okay?”
Y/N: *doesn’t blink* “You…you’re…The.. as in motherfucking Kim Taehyung Tae????? I thought you looked familiar, but I wasn't sure about you looking undercover as fuck in the store and then the low lighting at the club. Holy shit… tired brain went away and immediately put the puzzle together, and I… I need to sit..”
He guides you to the couch and rubs your back, making sure you are alright but also thinking your reaction was adorable and is honestly surprised his disguise was that good. Once he feels your breathing stabilize, he kisses your temple and pats your leg as he gets up to make the two of you breakfast. As he turns around to face the stove, he notices you look like you've seen a ghost.
Y/N: “Tha..that wasn’t a gift? You actually wanted that for your own house.. oh my god, what is life...”
TAE: *follows your gaze to the ass chair he bought yesterday and looks confused* "I mean, yeah, why wouldn't I? It's unique, and I liked it so voila! What's so odd about that? Plus, it's Jimin's designated seat when he comes over because, I mean…booty and harder for him to fall out of that one, haha."
Y/N: *shakes head, trying to process* "No, I get it just..ugh, I swore nobody would know this, but here we are… that used to be mine. So the fact that our tastes are this similarly odd and you own something that my ass used to be on is just a little overwhelming since you may or not be my ult bias since I was like 15… “ *blushes and twiddles fingers nervously*
TAE: "Everything you just said made me that much giddier, and I wasn't sure that was possible… I don't mean to weird you out, but I'd like to see you again. Outside of work or the club, maybe go get boba tea and a snack this weekend if you're free?"
Shocked that this is how your life is playing out but not questioning it too long, you agree. That date leads to another and another until 6 months later, you are officially dating and the happiest you've ever been. You do a lot for and with that man, but no way in hell are you ever using that chair again or getting over the fact that he actually bought your ass chair from you and proudly displays it. He's lucky he's adorable, but even still, you wouldn't want him any other way.

Omg I loved the yangchen book, can’t wait for book 2!!
Any predictions or something you want to happen??
I really hope they include more of the Earth King and the yangchen talks to someone from her past. Maybe someone who traveled with Szeto !
I really enjoyed it!! Obviously I love the action packed Kyoshi novels, but those books and this book were never going to be the same style nor should they be compared to each other. DoY was fantastic in its own right and I look forward to book 2!
My predictions for book 2 are as followed (get ready for some bold claims!): Earth King Feishan will be assassinated, Chaisee is the new Kuvira but without any potential redemption arc, Yangchen will talk with Szeto and Salai, Kavik gets a redemption arc and a smack to the back of the head, and Kalyaan will be killed at the end by Kavik. I have a hunch that the next book will be brutal.
But who knows! Those are just predictions. We will see if my writer brain has connections to F.C. Yee’s writer brain come July.
It’ll be intriguing on how this story progresses. The lore that was created with book 1 alone was fantastic to absorb so I hope that continues, especially learning more about the Spirit World. There is still so much to learn about that area of the lore. Additional info also means more writing inspiration for me!

P&P Chapters 60 and 61 (FINAL)
(Chapters 58 and 59)
The penultimate sentimeter check-in:
Darcy is in the positives!! He has +10 points.
Lizzy is at +30.
Yay. 😁
~~~
Chapter 60
Lizzy: "To be sure, you knew no actual good of me—but nobody thinks of that when they fall in love.”
Cute.
Lizzy: “You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner.” Darcy: “A man who had felt less, might.”
Oh dear. These two are starting to get embarrassing.
Lizzy: "But tell me, what did you come down to Netherfield for? Was it merely to ride to Longbourn and be embarrassed? or had you intended any more serious consequence?”
She's really going to spend their whole lives eviscerating him. WOW. Okay, I'll allow an extra 5.
(Lizzy in a letter to Mrs. Gardiner) "I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh."
Another cute one.
Ahh, but Mr. Bennet's letter to Mr. Collins is fantastic.
Rest of the chapter is all quick recap of informing various people about the engagement, it seems.
~~~
Chapter 61 (FINAL)
Mr. Bingley and Jane remained at Netherfield only a twelvemonth. So near a vicinity to her mother and Meryton relations was not desirable even to his easy temper, or her affectionate heart.
Pffft. "Honey, it's time to move farther away." "THANK FUCK."
Kitty, to her very material advantage, spent the chief of her time with her two elder sisters. In society so superior to what she had generally known, her improvement was great.
OMG, instant adoptee! 👏 Not expected but really a very nice end-game addition to the story.
Ugh, so much talk about Lydia and Wicky here at the end. Adds a sour note to the wrap-up.
By Elizabeth’s instructions, she (Miss Darcy) began to comprehend that a woman may take liberties with her husband which a brother will not always allow in a sister more than ten years younger than himself.
Training up the next generation. *wipes tear from eye* Another 5 points for mentorship. I do appreciate that.
With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms. Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.
Oh INTERESTING piece to end on. That's the last chunk of it? Did not expect that to be the conclusion. I'll have to have a think on that. 👀
~~~
The FINAL sentimeter tally:
Darcy is at at +10.
Elizabeth is at +40.
~~~
I'll probably mull the book over a bit before I do an overall write up, but in short, I did enjoy it.
BUT. I think I especially loved being able to chat with the die-hard fans who followed along with the reaction. It was a new way to experience a book, and it has added to my enjoyment so, so much. My humble thanks. 💖
