#one for each day of september 💀💀

[fandomfluffandfuck]

I will be closing my inbox for writing requests at the end of August

So, first, I have been having a wonderful time seeing everyone's unique requests for writing, and I want to express how grateful I am that people enjoy my writing so much that they hand over their thoughts to have me play with. I love this fandom sandbox! <3

Second, though, because I have so, so many requests still to fill, I have decided I will be closing my inbox for writing requests at the end of August. I don't have the time to continue taking writing requests during the school year, so that's why I shut requests. However, the good news is that I don't go back to college until the very tail-end of September. So, I'm still going to be filling the writing requests I already have during that time gap. So, if you have any last-minute requests, I will take them until the 31st and (fingers-crossed) be able to turn around lots of writing before I hit the books again.

Joey B Imagines: Don’t Give up on Me

————————————————————————-

Summary: When being the girlfriend of an NFL heartthrob starts to feel suffocating, and you feel like running, Joe tries to convince you to stay with him.

Warnings: Angst, Fluff

Pairing: Joe Burrow x Reader

————————————————————————-

*no specific date for this fic!*

You couldn't take it anymore. It was just that simple.

Getting together with Joe back in September of 2022 felt like a fever dream. He gave you everything you could want or need in a boyfriend and you seriously loved him.

At one point you might've even said he was the one.

Joe himself hadn't done anything to change that idea, it was the fans and the attention that came with him.

After dating for a year, Joe finally proposed the idea of going public. You guys weren't necessarily hiding your relationship since you went to games and such, but it hadn't been openly proclaimed.

You were excited and giddy, sitting on the couch next to Joe as you both curated Instagram posts of pictures of you two. After tagging one another and hitting the post button, you and Joe turned your phones off and spent the evening just with each other.

Joe was ecstatic that his relationship with you was out in the open, everyone finally knew he was taken and he was taken by the girl he thought he was going to marry.

Later that night when Joe was fast asleep next to you in bed, you turned your phone back on and went through the comments.

“Not cute…”

“He could totally do better…”

“Sad that he's choosing to settle.”

“She has to be fire in bed or smt 💀.”

“She doesn't even have a body.”

“Obviously he went for personality.”

“He def cheats on her every day.”

“Gold Digger!”

“Using him for status Fs.”

“He could have a model but chose that?”

It seemed like the comments had turned into an endless stream of hate, all against you.

The words made you start to think things that you never would have thought before tonight. You felt secure in your relationship with Joe, but now? Now it felt like at any moment he was able to walk out on you and find someone better.

Sitting in bed staring at your phone as a waterfall-like flow of tears streaming down your face, it suddenly felt like you couldn't breathe.

You jumped out of bed and ran out of the room. Hearing Joe yelling behind you, you kept running. You ran till you were down the stairs, through the kitchen, and out of the back door.

Everything was a blur from how hard you were crying but you could barely make out the porch swing and fell into it.

Sobbing into your hands, you had never felt so small, useless, ugly, and so much more.

“y/n? Are you okay? What happened?” - Joe

Flinching when you felt a hand on the top of your head, you pulled away from your own hands to look up at Joe.

He stood there looking scared for what you were going to say, fearing the worst.

“The fans, Joe… they hate me.” - you

Joe almost felt his own heart shatter when he heard those words leave your lips. You were the woman he was in love with and this was all because of the people who call themselves his fans?

“Baby… don't pay attention to what they say. Any person who says negative things about you is no fan of mine. Look at me.” - Joe

Looking up at Joe, he cupped your jaw with his hand and rubbed over your cheek with his thumb.

“Don't read those comments and if you do, don't listen to what they say. They don't know you, they don’t know me, and they don't know us. I love you with every fiber of my being, please don't feel wary because of something someone else said...” - Joe

At that moment a little bit of security came back, but you still felt like total shit that was unworthy of how good of a man Joe was.

Joe had made a statement during a press conference the following day, addressing the hate and how much he detested it and resented anyone who spoke such words to be a fan of his.

He had promised you that things would change in a week, but a week later they hadn't. In fact, it got worse.

That's why you made the hardest decision of your life and decided to part ways from him.

It was the best for you and your well-being, as much as you loved Joe. You pondered and pondered this decision but knew it was the right one. There didn't seem to be a life that you could picture without Joe in it, but for now, you needed to be away.

Joe was at practice when you started packing your things up. You planned to be gone by the time he was home because you knew saying goodbye to him face-to-face would just make things harder.

That's why you froze in place when you heard the garage door open.

How was he home an hour before practice was supposed to even end?

You were finishing the goodbye letter when Joe walked into the kitchen through the door from the garage.

“Hey baby, the practice was so good that Zac cut it short.” - Joe

It broke your heart when you looked up to see his smiling face, knowing it was probably the last time you would see it.

“Hey…” - you moved your suitcases from out behind the kitchen counter

Joe’s smile dropped and he looked at you confused. His heart rate was getting increasingly fast and he was internally freaking out.

“What's that for?” - Joe

You couldn't choke out an answer and Joe asked another question.

“Going on a surprise trip?” - Joe nervously laughed

“No uhm… I'm going home.” - you

“Home? What do you mean? You are home.” - Joe

“I’m moving back in with my friend in Columbus. I can't take it anymore Joe. The backlash is too much… and I hate myself because of what they say.” - you

He stared blankly as he felt his stomach drop. This couldn't be happening.

“You're leav- leaving m-me?” - Joe

“I’m so sorry Joe. It wasn't you at all, you showed me what it was like to truly be loved. I just can't find myself staying in a relationship where I get constantly hated on just because I like a boy. Don't take it personally.” - you

“y/n… please don't leave. I love you. I love you more than anyone else that has ever been in my life. You mean more to me than anything in this world… I- I can't go on without you.” - Joe

By this point, you guys were both crying your eyes out.

“You have to learn how to Joe.” - you cried

“I don't want to learn! I want you!” - Joe

“Maybe there's a life where we work out… but it's not this one.” - you

Joe walked towards you, he thought you were going to reject him but you opened your arms. He cried into your neck and held you so tight, like if he let go you were going to disappear. Which in a way, was true.

“Don’t go. Please don't go. I can't live without you. I’m so sorry that being with me hurt you so much, but as much as I try to I can't control it.” - Joe

He was hiccuping and so close to hyperventilating that it scared you. You knew the breakup would hurt but you didn't think it would affect him this much.

“Breath, Joe. You're gonna hyperventilate.” - you

You held him and rubbed his back until his breathing slowed down, but his crying hadn't. Something about what he said resonated with you. He couldn't control what they said, as much as he tried to prevent it. It wasn't his fault. You knew that, but did you know it? Was leaving him really the best option?

Joe pulled away from my neck and looked at me with red puffy eyes.

“y/n… please don't give up on me.” - Joe

His eyes looked pleading. He was begging you.

“I’ll do anything. Tell me something and I’ll do it… please. Tell me something.” - Joe

“You don’t have to do anything.” - you

“Wh-what?” - Joe

“I change my mind. Leaving you isn't the best option. I can't run away from my problems, I have to face them.” - you

“And I'll face them with you. I'll always be right by your side y/n. You're it for me.” - Joe

“You’re it for me.” - you

He hugged me tight again before pulling away and taking hold of my suitcases.

“Fuck I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life. I thought I was going to pass out.” - Joe

“Sorry.” - you

“No, it's okay. But can you make it clear that you're staying because you want to, not just for my sake?” - Joe

“I’m staying because I want to. With you is where I want to be. I'm sorry I almost threw everything away over some stupid hate comments.” - you

“Baby they aren't stupid. Your feelings are important and I’m proud of you for putting your well-being first.” - Joe

You didn't know what to say so you just nodded.

Joe led you upstairs and put your suitcases back in the bedroom.

“Let's just take a warm bath and relax, sound okay?” - Joe

“Mhm.” - you

5 minutes later you both were submerged in warm water, you were sitting between Joe’s legs with your back to his chest as you laid your head on his shoulder.

Joe spread soft kisses on your shoulder blades, collarbones, and neck. This moment felt more intimate than it normally would since it felt like Joe was proving to you he was worth it.

“You are the strongest, loyal, beautiful, smart, humble, courageous, amazing woman. I'm so lucky to be your boyfriend.�� - Joe

You hummed and nuzzled yourself into his neck.

“I love you, Joe.” - you

Joe was like a screwdriver. Unscrewing and uninstalling every negative word that had been drilled into your mind within the past week, one at a time. You were so lucky to have him in your tool belt.

Authors note: first angsty imagine and I loved writing it! Shout out to the anons coming in clutch with the fun requests!!!

Request for this fic;

OMG Tae did way worse than I expected 💀💀💀

Slow Dancing - #3 on Billboard's Global Excl US. Jimin did #2 because of that Morgan whale

#4 on Billboard's Global 200 this week! - JM #2

BB 200 - Tae - #2 100K album, JM #2 164K.

BB 100 - Jm #1, Tae - #51 💀💀

the way most popular member charted below than Suga is crazy lol. Even Jimin's all hated Bside SMF ate it up so bad (#30 BB). This is answer to his rabid stans than internet popularity doesn't give you a shit irl. First outchart supposedly unpopular rapline before getting Park Jimin's lowest numbers lmao

Before I comment on this I would just like it to be known; I AM NOT A V ANTI!!!!!

This isn't a disclaimer. I am only stating this because of the asks I've go10 shitting on him. I will not be posting those. I don't blame anyone but myself. I know I have allowed people to vent about him here before and I was definitely among the people getting pissed at the JK name dropping but I'm pretty chill these days. So V's antics don't bother me and also there is something about binging all that Layover content continously that just reminds you that V is not the monster people paint him out to be.

If you haven't had the time i recommend this video. It was my favourite and I quite enjoyed it.

He is funny and honestly I also wanna say adorable 😂😂

Sure, the way he treats those around him could use some adjustment. But those around him seem to love him just fine so who I'm I to be mad at him, you know?

Now that that's out of the way, let's indeed talk numbers. I've said multiple times the 2 most popular members are Jimin and JK. Not V and JK. We've seen this before but sure, let's revisit the topic.

So a friend of mine who quite enjoys keeping tabs on numbers did the following math:

September 9th Streams, Thailand percentage compared to overall Streams:

Seven: 17,6 %

Slow Dancing: 29,6 %

Like Crazy: 8,7 %

So this is the amount of Streams Thailand had for the Maknae line Main Tracks on September 9th, Compared to worldwide Streams.

😁

Maknae Line, Main Track Streams Debut Day. Global vs USA vs Thailand

Debut Streams "Seven":

Global: 15,99 M

USA: 2,064 M (12,9 %)

Thailand: 1,3 M (8,13 %)

*

Debut Streams "Like Crazy":

Global: 6,6 M

USA: 0.997 M (15,1 %)

Thailand: 0,165 M (7,5 %)

*

Debut Streams "Slow Dancing":

Global: 6,14 M

USA: 0,388 M (6,3 %)

Thailand: 0,970 M (15,8 %)

These are the Streams for each Main Track's Debut Day. Global vs US vs Thailand

In conclusion:

-USA and Thailand looooooove JK. BUT Seven is charting in 71 out of 72 (wow) eligble Spotify countries. So it's a bob and a hit globally.

-USA loooooooooves Jimin. Thailand, not so much 😬

-Thailand absolutely looooooves V. USA, not so much.

But we kinda already knew this no? Alot of vermin are in Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines, etc. SouthEastAsian is Taekook domain statistically speaking. But the thing is, its still mostly V they prioritize. SEVEN experienced global success coz JK appears to be a fan favourite everywhere. So that helps him even when the SouthEastAsians decide to mostly support V.

So assuming these calculations are correct, which they should be since they are from Spotify Global, (feel free to go do your own) I really don't understand how it was concluded V is the most popular member. And there is many more countries to choose from, my friend only used Thailand coz its one of the countries that stream the most.

People assuming V is the most popular coz of his followers on IG, Guys, Instagram is only one app. V solos n V biased Armys can convince themselves that he's the most popular but numbers do not lie. Chapter 2 has shown that that, is not the case at all. I mean if you've been on twitter you've seen V hasn't even been able to beat Suga in certain categories and records. Like anon said.

The purpose of my post is not to say V isn't liked. That would be a lie. I'm just saying if anything JK is the most popular BTS member. And that's on fax 💯💯💯💯 with Jimin being a very, very, close second. And I know by saying this I am beating a dead horse atp but if Jimin had go10 the push JK did they would either be head to head or he would have surpassed him. So imagine what a big deal it is, that Jimin is doing so well right now and he didn't even get that huge company support.

US album sales were 3K according to Billboard, thats like 30k singles. China did 800k 😱 Asia loves V. US however, which is where it counts for Billboard, do not. Billboard sabotaged all Asians after Jimin won, which means if JK hadn't go10 radio play he never would have won. So, without radio play, V was never going to get that number 1. Those who aren't dillusional already knew this. So we aren't surprised

“Is that really the exact date?” the girl inquired, her wide eyes sparkling with curiosity.

The woman sighed, glancing at the worn calendar on her lap, its pages faded. “Well, that’s what we assumed. But honestly, we’re still not sure. It took us hours to arrive at such a decision in the past.” She paused, her voice softening. “But ultimately, it’s up to you. Are you convinced that today is the day?”

The little girl fell silent, her brow furrowing in contemplation. “But... my parents—the ones who brought me into this world—they’re the ones who understand these things. They’re the only ones who really know, right?” Her voice tapered off to a whisper, a tremor of sadness threading through her words. “I… I don’t have those people.” It was a revelation that hung heavy in the air, thick with the weight of her unspoken worries.

Time passed, and as she turned ten, something inside her shifted. With a heavy heart, she faced the place where she had grown up, a landscape of memories now shadowed by despair. She whispered a quiet farewell to the times filled with laughter and joy, believing firmly that she would find no answers if she clung to the familiar. “I can’t stay here,” she murmured to herself. “I have to search for what I’m missing.” And with that, she turned her back on her childhood, stepping into the unknown with a resolve that belied her fragile heart.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Rumors had begun to swirl through the kingdom, whispers that tickled the edges of every ear they touched. As King Leon stood amidst the bustling streets, the seriousness of the situation weighed heavily on his shoulders. "I must get to the bottom of this," he murmured to himself, determination edging his voice. He had earned this day of respite after being buried in royal duties for weeks, yet even now, with time to spare, his mind drifted elsewhere. Word had reached him about her—about her whereabouts, or rather, the unsettling absence of them.

“Where is she?” he breathed, scanning the courtyard where he stood. The fountain that usually served as her backdrop was forlornly silent, and the lively notes of her music that once livened the marketplace were conspicuously absent. His heart raced as memories came rushing back—her laughter, her melodies—especially that birthday encounter that felt like a lifetime ago. It had been a month, yet the thought of her leaving, of her decision to vanish without a trace, tightened a knot deep within him.

“Enough with the foolishness, Leon,” he chastised himself softly, as he began to wander through the cobblestone paths, each step heavy with uncertainty. “She’s an itinerant musician. Of course she moves on.” But doubt clawed at him. Would she truly leave without a word, without a single goodbye? Had their charade, which had flickered from a mere play into something alarmingly real, come to such an abrupt standstill?

“I’m overthinking this,” he chuckled softly, trying to dispel the tightness in his chest. Yet, as his footsteps carried him deeper into the heart of the city, the glimmer of hope ignited once more. “She must still be here—she has to be.” Leon picked up his pace, desperation mixing with determination as he sought her out, determined to uncover the truth behind the emerging rumors and to reclaim what he feared he might have already lost.

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

“I’m not interested,” she declared, her voice firm as she crossed her arms tightly across her chest, the chill in her expression unmistakable. “Come on, dear, just a little piece of music? What do you have to lose?” The thin man persisted, flanked by two companions—one short and burly, the other tall and wiry, each wearing a disconcerting grin.

“You play for all sorts of people and get paid, right? What makes us any different?” the tall one challenged, his smile never wavering, even as she met his gaze head-on.

“You're not wrong. I do play for anyone willing to pay. That’s my trade as a touring musician.” She stood her ground, punctuating her words with defiance. “But I still have the right to refuse, especially when it doesn’t sit right with me.”

The skinny man let out a stifled chuckle, leaning in closer to her. “Oh, and pray tell, why not?” He was inches away, but she remained unfazed, slowly maneuvering him back with a calm push.

“It's part of my professional policy. No details necessary,” she replied coolly.

One of the men tensed, a flicker of rage flashing across his features as he opened his mouth to retort. But before he could, a voice rang out from behind them, cutting through the tension.

“Romarin.”

All heads turned toward the source. Relief washed over Romarin’s face as she recognized the figure who approached. “You’re late,” she remarked, a note of teasing in her tone as she walked past the shocked trio, paying them no mind.

“Sorry, got a bit sidetracked. Miss me?” Leon quipped, his charming smile instantly putting her at ease.

“A little,” she admitted with the hint of a smile as he sidled up beside her, drawing the attention of the three men.

“Sorry, guys, but I had to steal her away from you. You don’t mind, do you?” Leon said, his grin never faltering, though the tension was palpable. The men exchanged uncertain glances, the tallest shooting Leon a glare before they turned and left.

Romarin exhaled a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding until they were gone.

“Looks like your fame is starting to attract unwanted attention,” Leon teased lightly, but his eyes were scrutinizing her.

She cast him a sideways glance, her silence saying more than words could convey.

“Are they bothering you?” he pressed, his tone shifting to seriousness.

“Nah, don’t worry about it. It’s not the first time I’ve dealt with this,” Romarin replied, but her answer didn’t ease the furrow in his brow. He was expecting a more definitive response, not this vague acceptance.

“Do you always have a knack for showing up at the right moment, or is there a hidden agenda?” she asked, her teasing tone reemerging as she changed the subject.

“Hmm?” Leon tilted his head, genuinely puzzled.

“You just seem to materialize when I’m in a tight spot. What’s your secret?” Romarin scrutinized him, narrowing her eyes playfully.

“You said it, a secret,” he replied with a smirk.

“Tch, you know how much I dislike your evasiveness,” she shot back, exasperated.

Leon raised an eyebrow, half-amused. “Didn’t you just do the same?”

For a fleeting moment, he thought he noticed a blush creeping onto her cheeks, and it sparked a sly smile on his lips. With a playful nudge, she shoved him away and stepped into the bustling street, and of course, Leon fell in step beside her, the two of them weaving through the crowd.

“I was actually looking for you, you know?” Leon said, his voice carrying a hint of urgency as he stepped closer to her.

“Oh?” Romarin replied, her tone casual yet laced with an unmistakable edge of intrigue. She didn’t bother to turn around, her gaze fixed on the gentle ripples of the water in the fountain. “I’m sure you came by the fountain seeking me out, am I right?”

“Sharp as ever,” Leon replied, a playful grin tugging at his lips. The lightness in the air around them belied the tension he sensed beneath her words.

Romarin sighed, her shoulders slightly drooping. “I decided against performing today. Let’s just say, I’m taking a day off.”

“So you have the whole day to yourself?” Leon queried, already suspecting the answer. Romarin nodded slowly, her movements weary. Yet even in her resignation, Leon could feel something was amiss. “You don’t look happy about it,” he remarked, a thread of concern weaving through his tone.

Romarin remained silent, her back still to him, as if she were grappling with thoughts too tangled to unravel. Then, as if shifting gears, she posed a sudden question: “Do you know a place that sells delicious cakes around here?”

Leon blinked, caught off guard by the abrupt change in topic. “Huh?” he stammered, confusion knitting his brow. What was this unexpected craving for cakes amidst the unspoken worries that hung in the air between them?

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

As they stepped out of the bakery, the early evening air wrapped around them like a gentle embrace. Romarin cradled a small cake in her hands, her smile flickering like the last light of a sunset, mingling with the sadness clouding her eyes.

"It looks delicious," Leon remarked, his gaze fixed on the delicate confection, its icing catching the fading light.

She turned to him, her expression weighty with meaning. "I know," she murmured, the sweetness of the cake contrasting with the bittersweet silence between them. "That’s why I wanted it to be enough for two."

Leon felt his heart flutter at her words, realizing the unspoken invitation she extended. A wave of understanding washed over him, and he met her knowing gaze with a mixture of hope and hesitation.

“Leon,” she said softly, breaking the fragile silence, “can I ask you something else? Will you show me that place you took me to before?”

The hilltop where they had shared the secrets on his birthday flashed in his mind, a memory imbued with warmth and fleeting joy. Without uttering a word, he reached for her hand, fingers intertwined.

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

As they arrived, a heavy silence enveloped them. Romarin's eyes remained fixed on the scene ahead, utterly unyielding to the chocolate cake that sat invitingly before them. Not a single glance had she cast at Leon, though he could sense the whirlpool of thoughts swirling in her mind.

“I know you have a thousand questions racing through your head, don’t you?” Romarin finally broke the tension, her voice measured yet heavy with unspoken burdens. Leon shrugged, meeting her gaze.

“If I wasn’t, I might have thought you were trying to take me on a date,” he quipped, a flash of humor dancing on his lips. Romarin shot him a narrowed stare, her irritation palpable.

“Stop making everything about you, will you?” she snapped, but her annoyance dissolved into laughter, a fleeting connection that hung in the air.

“Now, here we are in this very place, where I opened up about my past—my birthday as ‘Leon’,” he began, his tone shifting to something softer, more serious. “And you said I wasn’t the only one with a difficult story.” He leaned in, trying to peer into her guarded thoughts.

“Seems you remembered my cryptic words better than I thought,” she replied sarcastically, though the weight in her chest could no longer be ignored. Leon's gaze shifted to hers, and for a moment, she glimpsed a smoldering intensity in his eyes that called for her honesty. She sighed, swallowing hard.

“It took me a month to sort through it all…” she admitted hesitantly.

“About what?” Leon pressed, intrigued.

“Today… marks another year for me,” she confessed, her voice trailing off.

Leon’s expression turned incredulous. “You mean it’s your birthday?” he asked, astonishment coloring his tone.

“Not exactly something I would celebrate,” Romarin replied, her nervousness creeping in. She could feel Leon’s curiosity pressing against her, urging her to continue.

“Listen, this is the first time in years I’ve spoken about this. Today is the anniversary of the day I was found,” she revealed, each word like a weight lifting from her shoulders but landing with a heaviness in the air.

“You were found…?” Leon repeated, wonder and concern mingling in his voice. She nodded, the past surfacing like a ghost as she continued.

“I was left at the gates of an orphanage,” she said, her heart pounding in her chest.

Silence fell, and Leon’s eyes locked onto her with unrelenting focus, as if searching for answers in her expression. He sensed her internal struggle, the courage it took to share this fragment of her life.

“In case it wasn't clear by now, the itinerant musician you see before you… grew up an orphan,” she admitted, her vulnerability hanging in the air.

Leon was at a loss for words, grappling with the deep familiarity of her narrative that echoed his own hidden pains. “When you told me, ‘I don’t know who my parents are, I don’t know what my real name is, and I don’t even know when I was born,’ I felt like you were recounting my life,” she confessed, disbelief etched on her face.

The connection between them deepened, an unspoken understanding blooming from their shared experiences. He could have easily wished her a simple ‘Happy Birthday,’ but acknowledging it felt inadequate, a triviality considering the weight of what she had revealed.

“And today, I’m here,” Romarin’s voice fell to a whisper, as if she still struggled to lay claim to her own existence. “But I can’t call it a birthday—not yet.”

"What a coincidence, right?" Romarin suddenly laughed lightly, her eyes dancing with a bittersweet glimmer. "We both kind of went through the same thing… The difference is..." She let the weight of her thoughts hang in the air as silence wrapped around them, thick and palpable. "The difference is, everyone knows you. They love you. Maybe there are even people who see you as an irreplaceable presence in their lives. Imagine… if you disappeared, there would be worry, questions, care. People would miss you."

Leon remained silent, the weight of her words pressing down on him.

"But me?" Romarin continued, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I’m just passing through, an itinerant musician without roots. If I vanished, who would even notice? They’d just assume I’ve wandered off to another land, as I always do. It’s the nature of what I am—come and go, like the wind... but no one really pays attention."

The air was still, the gentle breeze rustling the tall grasses around them, forming a tranquil backdrop to their conversation. Romarin kept her gaze fixed on the sprawling town below, her expression resolute despite the fragility of her words. It was as if she was trying to solidify her resolve, but her vulnerability peeked through, creating a blurred line between strength and doubt.

Suddenly, a warmth brushed against her cheek. She turned, surprised to see Leon’s hand cupping her face, his amber eyes shimmering with an unexpected softness. "You’re wrong," he said gently, his voice a soothing caress that made her heart race. "You think no one would notice if you left… but I did."

Romarin blinked, taken aback by his confession. "Before I found you just moments ago, the thought of you leaving the capital—and perhaps Rhodolite—without a word crossed my mind.” He chuckled then, a warm, genuine sound. “Can you imagine the feeling of dread that gripped me?"

"Please tell me you panicked!" A sly smile crept onto Romarin's lips, and Leon’s laughter enveloped her. "Really? Do you enjoy the idea of me panicking? You’re truly evil."

Another round of laughter broke the tension, and Romarin leaned into the warmth of his palm, letting down her guard just a fraction. "I can’t leave yet…" she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "There’s still so much left to do… so many unanswered questions..."

Leon’s gaze turned earnest, and he leaned closer, eager and curious. "You mean—"

Romarin met his eyes, and for a brief moment, uncertainty flickered in her gaze before she replaced it with a confident smile. "Be happy, lad. I’m staying here for a while."

Leon’s heart raced as a fleeting smile tugged at his lips, his fingers gently tracing the curve of Romarin’s cheek. The thought that she was staying anchored him, wrapping around his heart like a warm embrace. Yet, beneath that comforting realization lay a swirl of uncertainty. Before he could fully grasp the whirlwind of feelings inside him, Romarin broke the moment open, unveiling the black cake she had brought. Its velvety exterior was adorned with delicate white cream flowers, a striking contrast that drew Leon’s gaze. But as she began to slice into it, a vibrant red layer was revealed, vibrant and unexpected.

“Isn’t that amusing?” Romarin’s voice danced through the air, pulling him from his reverie. “I was drawn to the black and white because it reminded me of my dress. And then, to find this bold red inside—”

“Let’s just eat the cake, shall we?” Leon interjected, a hint of discomfort rippling through him. Romarin, unfazed, simply smiled. “So, you realized I wanted to share this with you?”

“Of course! Why else would you have brought a cake big enough for two? Or were you planning a private feast behind my back?” He raised an eyebrow playfully.

“I figured it was time to share a piece of my past too. Consider it a fair trade,” she responded, sincerity coloring her tone.

Leon’s smile widened. “Thank you for trusting me enough to share what’s in your heart.”

Romarin’s lips curled into a soft smile, her gaze steady. “And thank you for always being there to listen.” She handed him the second piece, a delicate offering. He took it without hesitation, the earlier strange feeling dissolving as the rich flavor enveloped his senses.

With an absentminded motion, Romarin wiped a crumb of the red cake from her lips. As they indulged in the moment, a quiet understanding settled between them. They had both grappled with their pasts, emerging as individuals forged by their experiences. Leon had been pulled into this life, while Romarin’s journey remained a mystery she didn’t explore too deeply. Yet, in this shared connection, the threads of their stories intertwined, weaving a bond that hinted at something deeper. Perhaps, from this foundation, whatever relationship they had could transform into something more profound—if only they dared to explore it, and who knows, maybe this bond might strengthen uhhh... whatever the relationship is between the two now.

“Mmm, delicious,” he said, savoring each bite. Romarin’s eyes sparkled with pride. “Of course it is. I chose it myself,” she declared, her voice light.

EVIL DEAD RISE ; what kind of music you listen to with them

includes ; danny, bridget, kassie (platonic), ellie & beth

warnings ; language, my kinda bad music taste tbh

masterlist

DANNY

either stuff like sneaker pimps, gorillaz, and lil peep or quannnic, the cure, nirvana, paramore

he plays whatever makes you happy, especially if it's something he also likes

probably listens to music to sleep as well

like, hozier, phoebe bridgers, probably movie scores that are calm and kinda relaxing as well

sometimes you guys sit in silence with the music and relish each others company or you're having a dance party in front of hundreds cheering his dj skills on

religiously wears headphones, doesn't matter if they're wireless or not

he's very anti-earbuds bc they don't fit his ears properly LMAOOO

honestly same....

but he's scared it'll make him get hearing loss sooner bc they don't let the sound out a bit so he sticks w his muffs

keeps him warm in the winter 🤷‍♂️/🤷‍♀️

BRIDGET

mazzy star, florence + the machine, hozier, blue foundation, seal, james marriott

I feel like she's into calmer kinda music, but not like basic calm music if that makes sense??

I don't think she's an arctic monkeys/tv girl indie/pop/idk fan iykwim

she likes just being in your presence when she listens to music cause she wants to have those songs remind her of you somehow

like if you're on the bus, in the car, she's the type to usually have her earbuds in, probably does the spotify party thing with you LMAO

that way you don't have to share earbuds or anything

danny constantly teases you guys bc your music taste differs but you're totally swooning for her so you always listen to her music lol

KASSIE

taylor swift idk

what do little kids listen to these days??? 💀💀💀

cmon she's like 10 at max gimme a break

she honestly just picks whatever she likes on your playlists if she needs something to entertain her in the car and whatnot

I mean I'm like that too sometimes I just can't stare out the window in silence I need my music lmao

she probably just has default pop radio music taste, she's too young for a phone anyways lmao

gets any actual music taste from her siblings and you though

ELLIE

probably listens to the pretty reckless and halestorm here and there, prefers more pop music though

probably like muni long, normani, hozier, taylor swift, only the plastic hearts album by miley cyrus, etc

mostly a female artist listener

I just get that vibe from her

her and Beth for sure went to a lot of female lead rock bands before her kids + Jay in general

like evanescence, halestorm, pretty reckless, in this moment, flyleaf

she'd still enjoy listening to rock though, just gotta be in a pumped up mood, like doing chores or working out yk

would enjoy dorothy, lacuna coil, etc

she strikes me as a person who plays music in the house/car but never wirh headphones or anything bc she likes to get shit done and when she's sitting down, she's just trying to relax and music gets her kinda pumped up lmao

loves when u show her new songs tho, she loves adding them to her mixes or whatever

she strikes me as a pandora mom

BETH

she for sure listens to spiritbox, megan thee stallion (she's a nicki anti I know it, me too), halestorm, pretty reckless, new years day, in this moment, september mourning, eminem, rihanna

a lot of like 2000s-2010s legends lol

I feel like she listens to Megan a lot to pump herself up bc real tbh

cobra ft spiritbox is her all time fav song

holy shit she rants about this song to members of her team for a week straight

gets like 300 plays on it by the time spotify wrapped comes out

she strikes me as a yt music user HELP

she loves introducing you to new rock bands, especially ones w female leads

Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers (Long review)

AOTY first impressions: I quite literally cannot put together words to describe this album. It's cathartic and deeply personal while at the same time being so sonically diverse and obviously Kendrick's flows are amazing. Even though it's a heavy listen, it's one that I keep coming back to - even the more challenging tracks like "We Cry Together" are just SO interesting, artistic and purposeful.

Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers is a 2022 album by the incomparable artist Kendrick Lamar. The album is deeply personal and sees Lamar working through deep-seated trauma and confronting how it has impacted his present-day life. It's a double album; structured such that each track is a different therapy session, and they all tackle different angles at which he approaches his struggles. There are emotional highs and lows as the album (and his healing) progresses, showcasing the non-linearity of the process.

I think the underlying messages of the album are ones that resonate with me deeply - addressing the general sentiment that "hurt people hurt people" by tackling Lamar's personal issues head-on and connecting back to underlying traumas and struggles he experienced in the past. The advocacy for therapy and healing is so important in this day and age, when there is still so much stigma in many communities.

While MM&TBS is a difficult listen, it's one that I think everyone should have at some point. There are some challenging topics discussed. But they're so important.

Other than the lyricism, I found the production on here so diverse. It's a lot more minimalistic than Lamar's other albums but still keeps things interesting. "Worldwide Steppers" has a beat that almost sounds like a panic attack, floating in and out and having a rushed energy. "Purple Hearts" features sweet chords and a wonderful drum beat. "Saviour" has a chord progression and synth(?) line that I can't even describe, but the feeling it gives elevates the ideas of the song brilliantly.

I don't know why this album was shrugged off by so many. It's not as immediately hard-hitting as TPAB or GKMC, but with time and attention, it's a record that I genuinely believe is Kendrick Lamar at his best.

While I think this is an album that must be listened to in full, I think a good introduction is the track "Count me Out." It features a wonderful chorus and introspective lyrics, and while it's a turning point in the album (the first track of the second album, "Mr. Morale"), I think it echoes themes present throughout the entire record. Give it a listen!

I have found the rap beef immensely entertaining, but it has also opened the door for so many more people to discover the rest of Kendrick's music. As a newer fan (I first listened to TPAB in September last year), I'm really glad more people can get to sit down and listen to these albums for the first time. MM&TBS is one of my favourite albums of all time. I hope it resonates with new fans as much as it did for me. I just hope people don't go into this expecting "Not Like Us." 💀

anyways, thank you for reading! I love writing album reviews and getting to yap about topics I enjoy, and this album has been really impactful to me as of late. While I don't relate to his personal struggles much, I do relate to the general idea that healing is non-linear and a lot of your current self-destructive behaviours are a result of past suffering. Understanding that and giving yourself grace as you heal is so important.

If you've made it this far I just want you to know that you are loved and deserve so. much. good. Whatever you may be going through, you will get through it. Keep going, it will all be okay in the end! I believe in you. You got this. <3

Magnificently Cursed... the blog post ✨

🕰🍂🕯🌿📔🧣🌙

My writing log says it’s been exactly a year since I started writing Magnificently Cursed, my Dark Academia Inuokko Magic School AU! I find summer to be insufferable (my apologies to the sun) so I took an escape hatch to an early fall last year and immediately fell down this massive rabbit hole. Not only did I write the whole fic and make overly-intricate graphics for each chapter… I also made a ton of other content that I simply didn’t have enough time to post! (Fall is but one season… unless you’re me, and it’s two, because fuck summer) So as a little anniversary gift to me, I’m going back through the archives and finally putting everything in one place. 

Let’s start with the character mood boards, shall we? 

Toge Inumaki: 

I wanted Toge to have an earthy/natural, vintage-y feel, while Yuuta was all sleek and new. I’m still completely obsessed with this library-lizard aesthetic for Toge.

I low-key wound up buying a brown sweater after searching online for literal hours just like the one in the upper left so we could twin. That duffle coat still has my whole heart. Lavender mug inspired by Neara 🥺

Yuuta Okkotsu:

The lil ghostie patch 😭 I still think Yuuta would look hot as hell in all these clothes- especially the speckle-y fisherman sweater. Coat game is strong here as well. 

... so is it obvious that I spend too much time on Canva yet? 😅

The Timeline: 

My outline wasn’t outlining and I resorted to making an in-world calendar to make sure the dates were realistic. Each chapter is a different color, and the lines represent what days the chapters covered in-world. The corresponding stars represented each chapter’s posting dates… except the real life dates didn’t line up with the fictional dates (rude), so those thursdays were actually saturdays? I think? I'm actually not 100% sure what past me was up to here, to be totally honest 😅

(also, politely ignore that bit that says “epilogue - december” 💀i’ll get to it when i get to it. I don’t really like the idea of it being *over* so maybe i'll just gatekeep that bit forever)

⬆️ Example of aforementioned “outlining,” which, yes, is unfortunately littered with as many potential tweets as actual organization 💀

Not pictured: the outline for the first three chapters… when i thought this fic… would only *be* three chapters. 🪦

Writing Log:

I wrote all 92k between July 13th and September 13th (including 60k in August, nanowrimo style)!

Honestly would love to know what her regimen was because i immediately went back to being slow and undisciplined. I don’t foresee this coming august looking anything like this, lol.

Also, sidenote, hilarious that I took a break to work on it would make a whole in the middle of this? Because I literally just finished that piece this week and posted it today 😅

The Playlist:

Spotify proving that July 13th commitment! If you start a wip without procrastinating and making a playlist for two hours first... did you really start a new wip?

The playlist was three and a half hours and i would listen to it nearly every day, sometimes multiple times in a day 💀. Listen during a rainstorm for peak vibes.

(other favs not pictured: The Butterflly Effect’s cover of “Lay All Your Love on Me,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Decode,” Liz Longley’s “Rescue My Heart,” and "Nothing's Gonna Happen" by The Staves) 

Bonus:

(fall baking... toge's fav pumpkin muffins of course)

(my toge sweater knockoff)

(editing buddy... clearly working very hard)

(cider donut cider... for the ✨vibes✨)

(obsessively drinking massive pots of harney and son’s victorian london fog tea as i tried to interpret my own bullshit)

(me celebrating actual halloween like i didn't start in july)

.... ANYWAY (if you made it this far 😅) many thanks to anyone who read/kudos/commented/supported this fic, because (if you can't tell already) i had so much fun writing it.

Currently, working on another longfic rn that's also promising to destroy my life... but you never forget your first 😘

[gazspookiebear]

Hey there! How have you been doing! Just thought I'd check up on you! Hope you've been doing well! I don't really have much to say, except that you're epic and cool! Since I was sharing some of the ideas I've had today, I wanted to ask you if you'd be willing to do the same? :> You don't have to, but I'm just curious! Also, out of curiosity, have you ever received requests on this blog? :o Not that you have to write them, of course! Either way, I hope you have a nice day! :>

I'm doing well, I just got home and ate some cucumber slices! (and chugged like 2 full bottles of water lmao)

I have a ton of writing ideas rn. Like- I think there are 100+ vague ideas written in my notes app, and at least 30 active wips. I keep switching back and forth between them, chipping away at each one slowly but surely 🫡 (gonna end up finishing all of them at once or smt, idk)

Some of the ones that I've been working on the most are:

Bartender reader x Gaz after a bad breakup (it's gonna end up being like 5 parts if I ever decide to post it, shit goes crazy in that one)

Firefighter Valeria (I finally got it started instead of letting it rot in my head 🙌 I don't even know how many parts that would end up being)

Transmasc cbf Gaz x transmasc reader (really don't know where I'm going with this one)

I also have a handful of platonic and romantic Ghost x reader ficlets floating around, might finish some of those up at some point.

And I know I mentioned a hybrid poly 141 x reader fic a while ago- that one is technically finished, but I'm not happy with it yet so I might go back and revise it

And nah, I've never received requests on this blog. Probably because I haven't posted a ton of my writing + I don't even have a pinned post so my blog is like. Impossible to navigate 💀✋️

I used to take requests on my other blog tho! I stopped after my hyperfixation on cod took over (plus I got like a shit ton of requests in one night and got intimated by it, never looked at them again)

I haven't even deleted the old requests from my inbox even tho some of them are from as far back as September. I have a couple of drafts for some of those, so I'm just holding on to them in case I randomly get motivated to write for those requests again. Probably won't happen, but who knows?

I've definitely written a lot more since I stopped taking requests tbh. Well, on this blog at least. I haven't posted any writing of my own on my main blog since January 😶

Anyways, thanks for talking to me!!! I love chatting with you lovie 💕

hi second part 👋🏼

hobi- just remembered this, when y/n, Ben, Alice, and Laura text about how hot the hybrids are I thin mainly hobi omg they cracked me up sm. The im married not blind part was so funny 😂

jimin- i don’t remember much from the chapter in September I don’t think we saw much of him but in this recent chapter OMG he was such a sweet pea!!! Y/n really went all out getting his HORSE shipped here. And jimin saying happy b day to join was so sweet cause every one’s warming up to joon after the fight a bit and I think everyone is warming up in general. Anyways y/nie goes above and beyond for her boys and ahhhh so sweet. He was so happy too you could tell he wanted to cry gosh. I love when jimin can’t handle his alcohol well I can just imagine his red cheeks eeek I hope we get to travel and see his family too. He’s defiantly been working hard on the barn, and when she mention he was shirtless at some point 🥵 I cant- im sorry I’m on my period that my horrible excuse anyways -

taehyung- him wanting to take photography and him taking pics of HER STOP ✋ no author u need to stop it’s too much like omg and when they held each other afterward I melted like I TURNED into a puddle of the floor and I’m only able to write this now bc it’s so cold here that I froze and turned back into my human form. She’s possessive and irl tae is too cause like do u remember the perila leaf débat he would get so jelly if his gf peeled off a leaf for a guy friend. The dinner scene where the waiter was making eyes an y/n and tae held her waist and GLARED that’s some dominance right there. I forgot about including the piano scenes in yoongi so I’ll add them here. the pic tae took of their feet sounded so cute and I’m glad yoongi and tae are getting more comfy w each other (cause I think yoongi chose to sit next to him asp) also cause when y/n was thinking abt how she didn’t want him to be alone 🥺😩 yes tae we want you to interact w the others~ Tae LOVES her touches too he reacts easily in just a snap 🫰

jungkook- ahh yes our angst boi- his birthday party scene was so cute he was so flustered and malfunctioned Sksks it was nice to see a raw and genuine part of him that was truly thankful for her that day I hope we get to see more of that. Jk annoying y/n during hobi’s run by giving her a cig omg I cant- this man’s needs to stop he just loves to tease. Such a sassy and snarky boy I’m totally here fir it all the way. And him picking a scary movie bc he knows hobi Jin and jimin will hate it lol. Him already agreeing to held joon and y/n w the wards before she even asked- really can’t hind anything in this house lol. I forgot to talk about this, but joon being upset w y/n and she didn’t call for him when she head the spirit threaten her 😩 he tries to pretend he doesn’t care but he DOES FR and Jk look at him like dam. Okay but that cliffhanger for the last chapter ofc u just stuff us full of fluff just to rip it out of us and I LOVE IT. I wonder what Jk and hobi/joon (I think joon was involved) fought about to make jk storm out like that although it wouldn’t be the first time. And on Halloween, come on yall! Smh 🤦‍♀️ ahh but he’s one of her boys so she’ll rein him in anyways.

Im guess there’s too much testosterone in that house hold or maybe they’re energy’s bc most of them are exotic predators and dominance is a big thing. I don’t remember exactly. Anyways I spoke about everything I could remember so far sorry for typos, ty sm for feeding us every month with such a hearty meal! Luv u 💋

Hehe hey again!!! fkdasfk I'm glad you liked my "married not blind" joke LMAO it's sooo true, especially when it comes to Hoseok. 👹

Jimin - Y/N getting him his horse... my bestie who usually beta reads for me was like Dana no way lmao. I wanna have disposable income like Y/N, and spoil all the boys silly too!! I guess we can live vicariously though Y/N LOL. 💀💀💀 But Jimin so deserved to be reunited with Vista, and he was so happy to have a piece of his former home with him now. Jimin is such a sweet, polite guy, so him wishing Joonie a happy birthday proves he really just want to keep the peace. Tipsy Jimin is just the cutest stinking thing ever, I can picture his face so clearly in my mind! Knowing Y/N, she'll definitely make good on her mental promise to bring Jimin to see his family (I'm sure she wants to meet them too!) Also YES you're right, he was totally shirtless when he was patching up the roof of the stable... I would have passed out if I saw that, Y/N is a strong woman!

Tae - UGH Another one that is totally whipped for Y/N, taking pictures of her, including a couple at his first expo... even though only four were displayed at that expo, you can imagine he's probably taken dozens more of her, which makes me blush and kick my feet. He's definitely one of the more cuddly ones, too, so when he hugged her at the expo that moment was so sweet and intimate... physical touch must be one of his love languages. I love my men a little possessive, and I DO remember the whole perilla leaf debate (wild) and Tae being like that both irl AND in Trouvaille is just so... you know? He was definitely staking claim over Y/N in that brewery, he did not like that random man staring at his girl like that. OOF! 🥵 I'm glad you brought up Tae and Yoongi beginning to come around to one another. They have that connection of both being into music, and I think they have similar possessive feelings over Y/N. Maybe Yoongi will be the one who gets close to Tae first, we'll see!!

Jeongguk - fhdjasf our little edgelord! Ah his birthday was so self indulgent, fluffy, and a chance to see his softer side under all that iciness he usually displays. I think the longer time wears on, he'll let go of more of that frostiness and become more comfortable showing Y/N his tender side. fjdksa I forgot about the scene where he offered her a cigarette at Hoseok's meet-- such a twerp!! I love love love scary movies, and I feel like him maybe Yoongi are the only two that would actually wanna watch a horror film with me IRL, or Y/N in Trouvaille. Hoseok is a bit of a scaredy cat, and the rest of them put that off a little bit as well LOL. And for sure, there really isn't anything that can be hidden in that house anymore, there are ears literally everywhere.... bad news for someone who likes to talk shit, like me. But that's an example of Jeongguk being uncharacteristically sweet, agreeing to help Y/N even if he doesn't have to. Joon was so pissed when she didn't call out for him when she was threatened, but Y/N handled everything just fine, IMO, he was being a dramatic wolf.

You know I love a good cliffhanger!!! I can't not have one almost every time. Hopefully, this time, the conflict can be resolved quickly, and it isn't as bad as The Incident between Joon and Tae. We shall see-- or you may have already seen, in this newest update!! I'm dying.... there is indeed too much testosterone in that house, but I suppose that it is just something they're all going to need some adjusting to. BUT!! Thank you again so so much for sending in these messages and gushing over the boys with me. I always look forward to hearing what you think. Loves you babe!! 💜💞💜💞

💀 relationships

butch - hinted love interest // best friend

nyx finds butch’s berserk-ness pretty cute amusing. they encourage butch to just be his wacky self around them because they for some reason don’t mind how loud it is if it’s from him. it was implied that they started to having feelings for him when they were kids and has yet to make a move because they are a scary cat. even so, the two are very close with one another.

brick & boomer - friends

nyx gets along with brick and boomer as well. they don’t particular interact with them unless they are with annabelle and rae. similarly, nyx sometimes acts like the parent of the group when brick and boomer bicker on each other.

annabelle & rae - close mutuals

nyx has been friends with annabelle and rae since they were all kids and growing up, they have been more of the parent friend in the trio (partly because they were the oldest) but does sometimes join in the chaos. nyx refers to them as their “homies”.

snake - best friend

snake is nyx’s best friend and hangs out with him whenever no one is available. one of their favorite things to do is to get bubble tea as a local bubble tea nyx frequently visits. nyx likes to spoil snake with gifts and affection which snake enjoys a lot therefore often drops by at their place to chill.

The rest of the ganggreen gang - friends

nyx is on good terms with the rest of the GGGs. They did questioned on why nyx was so interested in hanging out with snake (because why the hell did snake bring home a kid) but overtime with the more the learned about them, the gang eventually get along with nyx.

bubbles - friend

from time to time, the two would hang out and have drawing sessions together. many are often surprised that they are friends because of their aesthetics.

hihihi myst !!! its raining rn :( i feel even colder now,, anyways i've always had this idea that never left me. so, modern au (college in the first two paragraphs) w/ scara right?

basically scaramouche and his mother ei run a flower shop together. you often visit their flower shop since it's the only (great) one in town. routinely, each few days you'd come in. pick up a few things and leave is all you do - and he feels terribly love sick. he sees you everyday, on the weekdays and weekends. why is it that you, someone he bareky knows manages to speak a proper conversation with, get him so weak?

tch, how cowardly.

is what scaramouche thinks. stupid is a thought where he feeds into his emotions, is in not? but today, he stares at the entrance. he feels impatient; he'd been zoning out ever since you came in that day. did you go out already without saying goodbye to him? have you left him alone in this lonesome store of flowers? do you not want to see him, a humiliating sight?

hey. you alright, love?

your lover has awaken - what has made him chant your name so many times in his sleep?

lol it ends there because it is very old and i am still on a writers block so i did not finsish it. maybe I'll fix it soon idk. lowkey wanna see florist scara be written well tho, since what's here is how much he likes u lol (ps third "paragraph" is in current time, the first and second are both the past +second paragraphis in scaras pov. i think this was wrote from like july-september, when i was "in love" 💀) also, im just dumping old works for u to see since the peak of my writing might just be that scara prompt i wrote that i mentioned last time 🤕🤕🤕 -still with you anon

AWW WAIT THIS CONCEPT IS SO CUTE!!1!11 headcanon that scara is so good at tending to plants🤭🤭 AND THE DREAMMMM OMG THE DREAMM this is so adorable i love this
