#or they could just be besties till the end of time; having been each other’s hero and heroine once upon a time

[deus-ex-mona]

ok yk what. now that i’ve had some time to process nghy canon, considering the current pacing of gen retcon, i think their next step is as ✨clear as day✨

i really like seeing them happy together, but i truly do think that they should divorce and either live the rest of their lives as single besties; partners in hero/heroine-isms, but better off as just friends, or go their separate ways for a bit and get back together when they’re a little older and wiser, staying together for good this time around, as each other’s first and last boyfriend/girlfriend

Whispers in the Dark:2

Hiding a relationship was tough but both Joel and you had been in tough relationships before and dating in secret just helped take the pressure off both of you.

What started off as charged nights filled with indescribable pleasure and writhing bodies twisting around in the sheets, turned into something softer; nights filled with random conversations and soaked in loving embraces and kisses. it was truly a blessing to have one another, especially after a bad relationship.

So when your friends start planning a weekend cabin getaway, you feel a frisson of excitement flow through you. Albeit having to hide your relationship from the others, but this would be a very romantic weekend for you and Joel, and you wanted to make the most of it.

So you pack your best clothes and the sexiest lingerie you owned (just in case O.O)

The drive there was beautiful, and even better because you were sitting next to Joel, who was the designated driver. He kept sneaking glances at you, trying (and failing) to hold your hand throughout the drive. The only moment the both of you got to yourselves was when the others stopped for a quick bathroom + snack restocking break.

Before you could even comprehend what was happening, Joel had grasped your head in both his hands and crashed his lips to yours, his tongue insistent as he licked inside your mouth. You barely had time to reciprocate as you clung onto his t-shirt for dear life, his lips wiping away any thoughts you had in your brain. Alas, the kiss ended as quickly as it had started, with him breaking the kiss and pulling away quickly as he spied Tommy making his way back to the truck.

The both of you somehow managed to catch your breath, glancing at each other as you counted your blessings. The rest of the trip went smoothly (partly because you switched seats with your bestie to ensure nothing else happened).

The cabin was beautiful, and had an amazing view of the mountains. The room allotment, however, was even better. Your room was across from Joel's; who was sleeping alone because there were more girls than guys (thank godddd) and didn't have anyone to share his room with (not true, technically). You were bunking with your bestie, Carla, who was thankfully a heavy sleeper. You smile to yourself as you saw him arrange his luggage, his teeshirt riding up as he stretched. You groan internally; your patience was going to be sorely tested this weekend.

The day passed by beautifully: the group went for a hike through the forest, where Joel pinned you to a tree and kissed you soundly till the rest of the group caught up with you. After returning to the cabin, the guys got to work to make a bonfire. Everyone sat around and had their dinners, drinking beers and smoking joints; as the sky turned from blue to pink and finally dark.

Throughout the night, you tried concentrating on the happenings around you: Carla, Ruby (your other best friend) and the others having rather boisterous and spirited conversation on varying topics, people playing the guitar by the bonfire, Joel handing you a joint and leaning realllllyyy close to you when he went to light it; your train of thought literally derailing. Oh god, his mouth was so close and it would feel so good and who even cares if the others knew; you needed him now, now, NOW. You were about to throw caution to the wind and press your lips to his when you hear him clear his throat, plucking the joint from your lips and taking 2 puffs, then passing it to the person next to him. You watch him exhale a puff of smoke, winking when he catches you staring.

The rest of the night goes pretty well, the both of you throwing heated looks at each other when there was a lull in your respective conversations. Joel was turned on out of his mind: all he could think of was bending you over in front of the fire, taking you roughly and hard till you screamed his name. He had to count to ten multiple times, trying to bring his body to heel.

Soon enough, everyone starts to retire for the night and leave for their rooms. Shooting Joel a look from over your shoulder, you ascend the steps slowly, feeling his eyes follow your every move. It was a just a matter of waiting a bit, he thought to himself.

He bounded upstairs in a minute, willing himself to calm down as he sat down on his bed, waiting for you. Meanwhile, you were waiting for Carla's breathing to slow down so that you could rush to Joel to soothe the ache between your legs. You needed him so bad, it nearly hurt. You imagine him pounding you into his mattress, wrecking you for the days to come.

You slip out of bed once you hear Carla's soft snores, nearly bumping into the chair by the door out of sheer excitement. Shutting the door behind you, you turn to see Joel's eyes darken as he takes you in: hair a lil' messy, your felt slides and a silk robe that hugged your curves magnificently. He could feel his throat dry up as he roved his eyes over your form.

You slowly make your way over to him, undoing the knot at your waist as you do. The robe falls open, as you lower it over your shoulders, falling off and billowing to the floor.

Joel's mouth falls open as he sees what you're wearing underneath: a sheer black lace teddy with garter straps. He can feel his thoughts shut off as he wraps his arms around you, crushing you to him. Throwing you on the bed, he kisses you with such ferocity, it takes your breath away. His kisses were far more potent than the joint he'd rolled, and every bit as intoxicating. You squeak, as you feel his lips skim over your jaw, making his way to your neck, leaving tiny bites along the way.

You don't even remember how it escalated but one moment he's kissing your body and the next he's hastily pulling off the lingerie off you, like his life depended on it. You muffle your squeal behind your hand as you feel his lips encircle your puckered tips, his teeth lightly grazing the soft flesh. You groan, running your hands through his soft curls and over his back.

Lust courses through every pore of your being, the teasing from the whole day getting to you. This man makes you come alive, with every touch, every look he throws at you. The way he was so attuned to every movement of yours, how he silently took care of you without anyone even knowing, it made you want him even more.

You bite your lip, feeling his breath caress your swollen clit as he circles it with his tongue and slips a finger inside, making a come-hither motion. You don't even know how long he teases you this way, as your hurtle towards your orgasm. You grasp onto his hair as you reach your peak, your wetness splashing on his tongue; as you undulate against him, riding his face as your thighs shake.

As you come to your senses, your eyes readjusting to the dark, you see his beautiful eyes come into view, eyes brimming with love and lust, darkening as he took in how wrecked you look.

You both sigh as he pushes in slowly, the sexual tension from the whole day finally getting to the two of you, as he buries himself to the hilt, a moan falling from his lips. You let out a sob as he starts moving, his thrusts slow and deep. You grasp his arms as you feel him leave hot kisses along your jaw, his teeth sinking into the skin of your throat as he speeds up.

Joel has to fight not to come on the spot as he feels your lips leave soft kisses along his jaw; groaning at the way you bite his earlobe as he thrusts deeper inside you. The way your walls were gripping him, the way you were panting in his ears as he thrust into you nearly made him lose control and pound you into the mattress. He needed to hear your beautiful moans and wails, needed to feel your nails graze his back till they left marks.

He would have that soon; but for now he was content in the way you were scrunching your eyebrows, biting your lips hard to make sure you didn't make any noises. It turned him on to no end as he pulled your lip from between your teeth and bit it himself, soothing the bite with his intrepid tongue. You moan, hitching your legs higher on his hips as you felt the angle of his thrusts shift; hitting the front wall of your pussy dead on.

Gasping, you stare into his eyes slack-jawed as you try to hang on, watching his eyes glaze over, your breaths intermingling as you both hurtle towards your peaks. Your fingernails clench his biceps as you reach your peak, eyes squeezing together as you turn your head to the side, unable to stop yourself from screaming out loud at the intense pleasure that was surging through your body.

Joel drinks you in as he takes in the look of sheer pleasure on your face, mashing his lips to yours as he reaches his peak as well, moaning into your mouth as his hips hunched a couple more times, filling you up with every drop he had to give.

As you both come down from your highs, you feel Joel's lips leave soft butterfly kisses along your neck, your jaw, your breasts and your face. Tangled in the sheets and around one another, you savour these moments of solitude, trying to communicate your feelings the best way you know. Reluctantly, you untangle yourself from his embrace, stealing a kiss from his lips as you leave.

You make your way to your room, pleasantly satiated, with his spend leaking into your underwear. Tomorrow was the riverside picnic, and you were sure that Joel would find a way to make it interesting. With that exciting thought, you fall asleep, sore but happy.

Cupids ride

Pairing: Rhysand x fem! Reader

Warnings: Little angst - not really tho, fluff, childhood friends to lovers, amusement park, Mor being supportive bestie

Summary: You're in love with your childhood best friend since forever. You plan on confessing your feelings on special starfall celebrations when something tries to ruin your plans.

Masterlist

Rhysand had been your best friend since childhood. You remember all of the memories you made with each other. The memories that lingered the most were the moments you slowly fell in love with him. Slowly but hardly, you didn't even realise it till you were drowning in your love for him. His smile awoke butterflies in your stomach, making your cheeks red when it's directed at you. You never felt what you did now, not when you were dating some lyrian soilder that wanted you to be his good little wife, not when Helion wanted for you to sleep with him. What you felt was something deeper, stronger. Even the strongest faes could not stop you from feeling what you feel towards Rhysand.

After discussion with Azriel, the only person that you knew wouldn't tell anyone about your little secret. You decided to confess your feelings. It would be so much better than keeping them inside and hurting yourself and possibly him, too, in the end.

The timing seemed perfect for your plan. This year, Rhysand had planned something extra special for Starfall, insisting that the celebration could be even more magical. And you knew how to make it even more memorable for him.

You had to giggle to yourself when the idea of taking him to date there and confessing your feelings came to your mind. Running over to the table in your room you couldn't help but be happy, everything is going according to your plan. Sitting down with a flick of your hand, you summoned parchment and some pen you can write letter to Rhysand with.

Dear Rhysand,

Hello, how have you been in the day court? And when are you possibly coming back? I apologise for all my witty questions that could be perceived as spying for Azriel (maybe I am, you never know). But I would like to invite you with me to the theme park you organised. We could maybe even go try the ride of cupit, or eye of Velaris how you like to call it. Please answer as soon as possible.

Yours,

Y/N

With a light flick of your hand, you send the letter to Rhysand, hoping it will find him in Day court. Your heart hoped even more he would stop his business there to answer. You knew how much he prioritized his work so his court could be happy and save. And in time of starfall, he did even more, wanting to spend time with his family without having to worry about anything going wrong.

It was the day of starfall, and Rhys still didn't come or even send a letter back. You couldn't help but lay in your bed with a blanket over your head. In two hours is the main part of starfall that all of the night court gathers to watch and enjoy, yet you weren't even getting ready, still sad of the possibility of Rhysand not coming.

Suddenly, Mor barged into your room with a beautiful purple dress in her hand. She was dressed in a beautiful red dress that hugged her every curve.

"Stand up and stop moping around. And I don't take no as a answer" you knew arguring with her would let to nothing as she's stubborn and won't stop till she gets what she wants.

"Look at the dress I brought you." You looked up and down the dress she was now holding in both of her hands like proud mother. "Are you sure it will fit me, Mor?" You asked, not sure about how you will look in it.

"Oh please, you will look magnificent in it. Just imagine Rhys' reactions when he sees you." You stood up as fast as you possibly can. "Rhys is coming?" You asked hopefully to which Mor answered only with smile and tossed the dress at you. "Get dressed. I will do your makeup and hair." She winked and left.

You quickly put the dress on, admiring yourself in the mirror. Mor really choosen well with this one. It was a beautiful purple dress that had gems tailored in it that sparkled as the skies of night court. The dress had just enough cleavage for you to feel comfortable and not like you're being exposed too much. You had to thank Mor for this.

"I have to go to Emerie, I hope you can entertain yourself for a while, Girly." She winked at you and left in a blink of an eye. You had to smile. They were so cute together. The happiness turned sour as soon as you remember you're alone on starfall. You looked up to see you're standing in front of a cupid ride.

"Fuck it, if no ones gonna take me I will just take myself" you whisper for yourself deciding to spoil yourself little bit. "But I wanted to take you, darling."

You swear you never moved as fast as you did now, turning your head to the source of the voice.

"Rhysand? What are you doing here, I thought you were in summer court." Rhysand stood there, a teasing smile playing on his lips. He came closer to you, his eyes shimmering at you.

"I was, and I am supposed to be. But I got your letter and couldn't leave out the opportunity to be there with you. " He lifted his hand like he wanted to touch you but hesitated, letting it fall. Then, as if gaining confidence, he took your hand in his. The simple contact sent a thrill through you. Did you really make Rhysand, the Lord of the Night Court, nervous?

"You made my night right now, Rhys. I was ready to go on couples ride alone and make myself the biggest joke of starfall. " He chuckled, brushing a stray strand of hair from your face. “That would have been tragic, darling.” He leaned closer to you, his breath on your cheek, and his lips hovered just above yours. "It really would." You let out breathlessly, your heart pounding in your chest.

Fireworks in the shapes of hearts went off in the background while people cheered for the new beginnings. And then, in this moment, his lips met yours in a soft, deliberate kiss. It was gentle, filled with all the affection, need, and love that you had hidden from each other for so long. Your hands found their place in his hair, tugging lightly, and he responded with a low hum of approval.

He slowly pulled back from you, leaving his forehead on yours. "I love you." He whispered so softly that you nearly didn't hear him. "I love you too, Rhys so much." You replied, voice full of emotions.

He took hold of your hand and turned to Cupid ride with a smirk.

"Shall we go then, darling?"

Would it be possible for you to briefly outline the gist of the Bad Kid’s relationships to each other in terms of individual pairs (i.e. Fig and Kristen, Riz and Fabian, Adaine and Gorgug, etc)? And if that’s too much, maybe specifically the Fig ones (I’m trying to get a sense of her friendships because they are so important to her).

This is SOOOOO late but I didn't have the time to write it when you sent it and then I figured I might as well wait till the end of the season to get a full picture and give the best answer. Hope it was worth the wait!

-----------------

Fig and Fabian: Fig and Fabian are the two that most closely fit the classic "cool kid" archetype (though obviously we know Fig is mainly a big sweetheart and Fabian is a loser no matter how high he rolls). As far back as S1 they were playing the party faces and schmoozing Penelope together. I think their friendship now is exemplified by the fact that when Fabian wanted to threaten his banker, Fig was there as his first mate to help out, no questions asked and no payment required. They're each others, "I can count on you to do this bullshit with me," friends.

Fig and Riz: I think Fig knows she doesn't necessarily have as much in common with Riz naturally as she does with some of her other friends but she obviously respects and deeply cares for him. The main reason she started taking her classes seriously Junior Year is because the whole party passing together was really stressing him out and she spent some of her very limited downtime sending Riz a, "Thinking of you" not to lift his spirits (though she signed it from Gorgug because she can't help being chaotic). Similarly, I think Riz obviously cares a ton for Fig even though he finds 70% of what she does crazy. Think about him following behind her to clean things up as she pretended to be a doctor and had to do surgery in Freshman Year. But I think she's helped him lean into his chaotic side a bit more as well--I always think about their side mission to hell in Soph year and her going, "Hiss at her litigator!" And at the end of Junior Year, he comes to the conclusion of, "I gotta let her do her own thing and not pressure her to live by my standards." So lots of mutual respect.

Fig and Gorgug: Fig and Gorgug have been besties and bandmates since Freshman Year. I've always had the sense that Fig has some big sister style protective feelings towards Gorgug since he's often the gentle giant of the group and this season, she hyped him up a ton with his Barbificer stuff. I would argue that, besides his parents, Fig is Gorgug's biggest cheerleader.

Fig and Adaine: Fig ALSO has sister energy with Adaine but it's less "protective older sister" and more "odd couple playfully clashing". Think them burning spellslots to fight for the best rooms in Mordred in Soph year and Adaine foaming at the mouth to get info about her crush on Ayda. They're living under the same roof so we have to assume they have a lot more interactions that we don't see and I feel like Adaine probably really enjoys that she gets to have closer to a normal sibling relationship with Fig since her blood sister is Aelwyn and that relationship is intense and meaningful but nothing approaching normal. The teasing is there but so is the genuine love--remember how devastated Fig was when Adaine was taken to Falinel in Soph year despite their best efforts? And her long hug during the Baron fight this season even though they were VERY MUCH on the clock. And Fig was Wingwomaning hard (along with the rest of the Bad Kids) to help her notice Oisin. Also think about Fig having a whole crisis of self during The Last Stand and turning to Adaine for reassurance and Adaine just going, what? Girl, no you're awesome and painting an arcane bullseye on her target so she could smite like crazy. Despite the playful ribbing, they have very supportive sister energy. "Absolutely my king, whatever you want."

Fig and Kristen: I think Fig and Kristen have two big things is common. One is they're both very chaotic people and the other is they have both gone through kind of intense rebellious periods spurred by or resulting in family trauma. Because of that, I think they likely get each other a bit better than the others might (and we can see that Fig followed in Kristen's footsteps a ton this season god-wise). Fig also decided to take on the protective, German Shepherd role over Kristen this past season which I think is partially for the bit, partially about personal development, and partially about just how much she genuinely wants to help protect Kristen.

Fabian and Riz: Classic jock/nerd friendship. The original Bardy Boys. The kind of friendship that is made special by the absolute lack of obvious commonality between the two parties. "The Ball" is a friendly nickname now. Oh how the turns have tabled.

Fabian and Gorgug: Fabian started out the series by attacking Gorgug for no good reason while he was being gifted a tin flower and midway through this season he was like Gorgug, you're quitting Bloodrush? I'm gonna miss you :(((((( even though they're still fully in a party together and spend so much time together. The bro energy has completely solidified. It's also funny that Fabian texted Gorgug like, "Congrats on making it with Mary Ann!" and Gorgug was like, "You do know I've had sex before, right? I come from an extremely sex positive household and I had a steady girlfriend for two years who also came from an extremely sex positive household." Fabian has all the aesthetics of a cool kid but Gorgug is actually about that life, lol.

Fabian and Adaine: This is another pair that I think has serious sibling energy (and not just bc they both have posh high elf backgrounds). I'm thinking about Fabian yelling for Adaine's help during The Last Stand (even though she was like why am I the one you're calling for help right now???). I'm also thinking about Adaine being like Fabian hit me :( during the Baron encounter and Fabian being outraged at the thought that he would ever hit her. I think if you asked Fabian, he'd say his best friends are Riz and Adaine (which is really funny considering they're the nerds of the group).

Fabian and Kristen: Bad decision buddies with no game who are still somehow getting their kisses in.

Riz and Gorgug: I think that Riz was one of the Bad Kids who realized how smart Gorgug really is the fastest. He's always like, "Nice one Gorgug," when he offhandedly comes up with a connection that helps solve the mystery and I feel like they have to work on gear and gadgets together. I think the fact that Riz believed Fig's lie that Gorgug wrote him the encouraging note says a lot and the fact that Gorgug immediately made him a real present (the Medal of Wit) also says a lot.

Riz and Adaine: Party nerds, investigation buddies, voices of reason with specific things that get them unreasonably angry. They are the only ones who were excited that there was an academic portion of The Last Stand. Riz made Adaine a folder with nothing in it at the beginning of Junior Year to say, "I'm not worried about you but I want you to be included anyway." Adaine in a conversation to I don't remember who said that she knows that at the very least she and Riz are going to college together. When everyone was wasting questions questioning Bakur, Riz told everyone to shut up except for Adaine and himself. They are the braincells of the operation and they have party nerd solidarity.

Riz and Kristen: I think Riz has a similar relationship to Kristen that he does to Fig. This season he was her right hand man with campaign stuff but ended the season like hey, do you. I don't want to put pressure on you. And Kristen in turn I think appreciated his efforts a bit more by the end of the season. I feel like it's easy to feel like their relationship is unbalanced but I think Riz is a lot like his dad and he not only feels weird when he's not working but also shows his love by working so it's more symbiotic than it may seem at surface level.

Gorgug and Adaine: Gorgug and Adaine don't interact the most, but I feel in my heart that they have a lot of chill, lo-fi study time together. This is me extrapolating a bit but I think they kind of inherently balance each other out. Gorgug being mechanically big and full of rage but really sweet. Adaine being small and polite but full of so much rage. In-universe you know she spends a ton of time standing directly behind him and casting spells while he soaks damage. That's gotta give you a special kind of camaraderie.

Gorgug and Kristen: Whenever I think about Gorgug and Kristen, I always picture them in Sophomore Year, Going Through It with their girlfriends at the same time, lol.

Adaine and Kristen: I think Adaine and Kristen's whole relationship is best summed up by three actions. (1) Adaine casting Friends on her to make her go to school so she won't fail and then Kristen giving her the Help action to be charmed. (2) Kristen making the effort to be mean-nice to Aelwyn because presumably Adaine told her she likes that better. (3) K2 being sent way and Kristen being like, "I did enjoy having a sister" and Adaine immediately going, "I'm your sister." (Which, from her history, you know isn't something she'd say lightly). I think Adaine is often exasperated by the insane shit Kristen does (see eg: ribbon dancing) but she was also right there hyping her up and helping her cover during the "Passed the test to give me new spells" fiasco at the food trucks. At the end of the day, Kristen respects the hell out of Adaine and Adaine is ride or die for Kristen.

121U. 「 Want To Want You 」

"Accidentally crash in to the afterparty of your college football club. There's not a single thought that you end up making out with their hot quarterback."

Pairing : Baekhyun × afab! reader

Word counts : 1.5k

Contents & Warning : suggestive, university! AU, football player! Baekhyun, strangers to lovers, inspired by Day6 -121U.

× Happy late-Birthday, Baekhyun! × | masterlist | a cup of ☕

“Where? Huh? Your major’s festival? Okay okay I’ll be there, I’ll call you back later.” Hanging up the call with your bestie, you rushed up to her faculty building.

Now is 11 p.m. In fact, your best friend asked you to join her since the afternoon. But you've need to gather some reference books in the library first. Too immersed in it, you can’t believe it's almost midnight already.

Isn't it too lively at this late hour? Many tents were still set up firmly, decorated with vivid hanging lamps on each booth. There are still a lot of visitors coming in and out. Feels so different on the first time you set foot here, especially seeing the unusual views. Yeah you admit that you’re not such an update student when it’s come to campus events. Seems like what your best friend said is true, you need to have a little fun at least during your college year.

‘Ding’ a notification sound lit up your phone screen under your grasp. A simple text message showed up the second you are tapping on it.

(Bestie) bae don't call me, my phone is nearly dying. Oh I’m in the blue one! Cya xoxoxo

Ah, seriously? You thought while typing a quick reply.

(You) mkayy

Whether you’re tired or something, the first thing you do is looking for a blue tent just like what 'you assume' she said. As far as the eye could see, there’s no sign of a blue tent around. You let out a deep sigh before decided to left the festival area. Thinking that it will be easier to find those place outside rather than in there.

Once taking a few steps out of the entrance gate, you see a beam of blue light radiating in the corner of the groups of tents. You approach where the light initially came from in confidence. Hoping to find your best friend then drag her home right away. But after you are getting closer, seems like it came through from a different place, which turned out to be separated from the festival booths. However, you still give it a go. Who knows she might be there, right?

The vibe is obviously too contrast, a faint upbeat music began to be heard clearly as you slowly enter the tent. Lot of unfamiliar faces are busy talking to each other. At the time like this, you regret not to be friends with another major students long before.

Beyond your expectation, the tent is connected to a building you've never been to. The deeper you go, the blue light becomes denser. You look around, groups of supposed to be female students surrounded each of male students, having an exhilarating convo that you still unsure about. But It’s giving a party to celebrate something. A slight hint of alcohol odor is also filled the room made you so sure of it. Your curiosity is answered once you saw a pile of football helmet proudly placed at the corner along with a big trophy next to it.

Well, it looks like you got lost here. Automatically shook your head after thinking of how this party coincides with the festival outside. You intended to get out as soon as possible. Alas, the group of girls you saw earlier simultaneously ran after one of the football players, till you pushed to the side.

Hand grabbed the door handle in reflex as you tried to stand still, “crazy, how famous are these guys here?” You said irritably.

Little did you know there’s someone next to you, chuckling at your words. His long fingers covered the thin lips of his, trying to muffle the laughter. Those voice was so satisfactionaly crisp that it tickled your ears. He stopped doing so after both of your eyes met.

Breathtaking. is the first word that comes to your mind. The way those eye smile formed when he is laughing despite a few strands of damp hair subtly covered it. His tall and quite slender figures caught your eyes the most. You can’t believe with those delicate look, he is literally one of them as the game jersey still wrapped around his torso perfectly fit. You stare at him in awe, wondering how pretty his pair of orbs can be if there’s a chance to looking at it up-close.

“Are you okay?” He asked after realizing you were lost in thought for a moment.

“Y-Yeah I’m totally fine.”

Leaning closer to you, he raised his voice a little bit right next to your ear. “But you don’t seem so. Perhaps, do you need something to drink?”

You're the one who's gone crazy, the music has been this loud ever since. How can you mesmerized at this man to the point you could caught his laughter so clearly before. You tried to collect your own sanity before lean over to him,

“No thanks, there’s only booze that I see around.”

His mouth form an “A” shape for a couple of seconds, before fully suggested you something, “I have some water. If you don’t mind, c’mere.”

You nodded as following his back behind, opening the door that you held for your dear life a few minutes ago, which is the football team’s locker room. Even this room decorated with much darker blue light just to match the party vibes. At least your hearing is saved as only less loud music can be heard outside.

He handed you a black metallic water bottle, “I never see you before.”

“Uhm well, actually my faculty is 5 buildings away from here. So.. Yeah” You gulped down the water that he offer to you. “Thanks by the way.”

“Sure no problems.”

After that only silence remained, the mood’s shifting undeniably fast. Looking at how awkward both of you right now. You pay close attention to what is printed on his back. ‘Baekhyun’ and number ‘04’ are visibly written on it. Sometimes he took a glance at you only to catch you red-handed staring at him so intent. Feeling like a blood rushed up to his head, he's too shy to say anything. He decided to brush it aside by ruffling his still damped hair.

Your fingertips itching to reach his front bangs while blurting out few words under your sense, “you’ll catch a cold if you don’t dry your hair properly.”

As your hand nearly touch his hair, he grab it swift motion. “Just.. don’t touch it.”

“Ah sorry I didn’t mea-”

Before you succeed pulling your hand back, he brought it to his cheek while keeping the eye contact with you. Slowly, his lips putting a soft kisses by the end of your palm. “Can you dry it off for me?”

Without a single thought, you reach an unclaimed towel that’s neatly folded on the bench. Then stretching out your hands to dry his hair off as you positioned yourself face to face along to him. At first you actually did that heartily. But after you realized he didn't let go of his gaze towards you as if you would disappear at any moment, your rationality poofs away.

Too dangerous. Your heart beats goes up in rapid speed. If it’s not under the dim light the flushed cheeks of yours would definitely be seen by him,

“why.. you keep staring at me like that?”

“Because I want to.”

“What If.. I want you?” Fingers squeezing through the hem of slightly wet cloth that cling on top his head as you expected perhaps a rejection.

“Well, If that’s the case,” he tucked your hair behind your ear, “I will let you have me.”

His index finger lifted your chin, demanding an eye contact meanwhile his other hand busy untangled your clenched digits to be interlocked with his. Bodies lean forward, the tip of lips are nearly touching, the scent of soft linen and a hint of floral mixed into one only to tease your sense of smell. His warm breath sparked the overflowing desire,

“Please.. don’t tease me..”

He chuckled with head hanging low for a mere seconds before his deep brown orbs seeking through into yours for once again, “first I need to know your name, young lady.” While planting a quick kiss on the back of your hand.

Your lips trembled, stumbling upon the word by word of your own government name which ended up make him burst in laughter. He find you too cute to be true. “Your name is beautiful, just like you.”

He pulled you into deep yet passionate kisses. A slight of naughty smile formed on his lips, the way he felt your body shudder as soon as his fingers running from the nape of your neck down to the lower back. Moving in painfully slow motion.

Head’s going blank, eyelids are too heavy to open, you murmured between the making out session under your control. “But.. I’m not as beautiful as you Baekhyun..”

Out of everyone’s encounter him in romantic ways, you’re the one and only who’s flatter him using the word ‘beautiful’ at such timing. He couldn’t help, hiding an ear to ear smile against your shoulder. Till his soft whisper blown into your sensitive ear.

“Just wait, I will prove you wrong after this.” following by a michievous wink in the end.

a.n. I know it's a sudden baekhyun fic because I miss him lately after I rewatch exo's killing voice T.T He's my ult bias in exo and I really want to tell him that he's so beautiful, gorgeous, spectacular, amazing, breathtaking, scrumptious, immaculate + other praises following behind. Oh well, Happy Birthday Byun Baekhyun! ♡

[timothylawrence]

well folks........ weve made it to the end of the line.....

long ass review below...

wowza. okay. gonna start this by saying this'll probably be mostly a review about bridge to the turnabout...!!!!! before i get into anything juicy, i wanna start with the biggest shoutout to my partner in crime and bestie, @katagawajr... literally could not have played this game without her. hats off to the best edgeworth impersonation on the planet. <3

OKAY. TO start. I knew trouble was about when it had to do with the fey clan and channeling of spirits... i could just feel it. i was waiting for it and bam. its like the worst thing that could've happened lmao.

-ahhhhh..... when ive said it before and said it again... the love and friendship everyone has for each other!! are you kidding me!!! phoenix running across a burning bridge and addressing his worst fear ever for Maya!!! Edgeworth immediately hopping on a private chartered jett cus your man friend needs you.... man. so good. and for edgeworth to take the place of pheenie at first..... (also. sorry ill admit some cringe. i cried at the thought of not playing phoenix i was so distressed LMFAOOO i missed himmmm)

-and of course can we forget the best character in this game this franchise the star of every scene in which she presents herselfffff

-dude. the showdown we've been waiting for. the fact she quite literally flew in per miles request. their back and forth. oh my god. ohhh my godddd. oh my god. their back and forth, the way she acts all tough but would do anything miles asks of her (and DOES). easily one of my favorite moments.

-(takes long drag of my cigarette).... oh you two. oh you two. do i die or what. they care about one another so much. its literally so sickening. franziskaaaa milessss can we hug onceeee

GROUP SOBBING SESSION STARTS NOW!!!!!!

-okay skipping ahead a little because if i sit here talking about miles and fran i'll be here all day. um miles and phoenix... yeah you two are tied by the red string of gay fate... the way they constantly check in with either throughout the investigation was so cute to meee sorry.... esp with miles' little panic attack :(. awe. also phoenix wanting to hug miles AWWW

-okay wait i lied jumping back to Franziska for a second I LOVED HER FOLLOWING PHOENIX AROUNDDDD IT WAS SO CUTEEE... im glad she was as involved as she was that is my GIRL.

-ok idk what peoples thoughts on larry are but i think hes fucking funny as hell a lot of the time. love when a character is just useless but funny with it. his little loser shack with Pearl LMFAO (also... he looks like august borderlands so i might be biased- WHO SAID THAT)

-yeah. okay. this is the worst sprite in the history of sprites. genuinely so terrifying. my poor girl. my poor baby. when does she get a break?? she looks genuinely mortified. frozen in fear. quite literally a deer in headlights :( she went through SO MUCH and even her testimony was so heartbreaking. she was so scared and just. just wanted to get away from it all. the way phoenix screams into his hands when Dahlia says that Maya is actually dead. UGHHHHH

group sobbing session neow....

-okay... onto the story.... the actual case itself... im gonna be honest, i was very confused and still am about the whole channeling stuff. it feels like theirs a gap between when maya was in the cave?? and then when she was suddenly out and swapped with iris?? because dahlia wasnt there the whole time?? idk it hurts my head to think about. but i will say something.

i never saw this fucking coming.

-hoooolyyy shit. holy shit. amazed this was never spoiled for me but never ever did i even THINK Godot was responsible till the very end. till it was spelled out. and even then i wasnt fully convinced. holy shit. kudos to the writers again cus i never ever expected him. his story is so fucking heartbreaking. i feel bad for him. but damn. damn. his monologue at the end was so good. the way he goes on about how he wasnt even sure if he did this for the right reasons, that if he did, he would've told Phoenix from the start... (Damn id pay money for that reaction lol). It just... it felt so raw and real. and when he cries. man. man. just sorrow all around. the only time a lawyer can cry is at the end. while he bleeds/cries, the callback to what he told mia. just harrowing and sorrowful.

-okay. okay. the final witness being maya. my god. my god. the anguish. the pain. the way both maya and phoenix know the truth, and the way he knows she's lying and she knows he knows. its just so painful. its so fucking sad. maya knows its fruitless and she knows whats coming because the only person on the whole planet who knows her better than she knows herself is phoenix. its so similar to how in farewell my turnabout, maya was telling him to speak the truth no matter the cost, and now, phoenix was telling that to her.

speak the truth, let it be revealed. as godot and phoenix both said "Once you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." no matter how painful. damn

-the connection between maya acting okay for pearls and miles acting okay after dl-6 because someones they cared about would be in pain if they werent... oh miles and franziska... oh miles and franziska... oh i know this next game is gonna hurt....

-maya is the heart of this game, but Mia is the soul. their connection, their love, it was the beginning, the middle, and the end. it all came back to them. and i couldn't have been happier.

-all in all, this whole journey was a BLAST. i had an equal amount of laughs that i did cries, i was surprised, i was puzzled, and i was in awe. genuinely such a good fucking series no wonder it has had a fanbase that spans decades.... my fav episode was definitely farewell, my turnabout, but i enjoyed nearly every episode i played for one reason or another.

I'll miss Maya and Pheenie so much, i already do, but I know i'll have fun doing who knows what with Miles next.

[wc-confessions]

Longtail is my favorite character. I love his character arc, how he acts as a narrative foil to Firestar, and how he starts out as a jerkass but grows to have a backbone, shows himself to be a loyal warrior with a heart of gold where it counts, rejects Tigerstar when lines in the sand have been crossed despite how much he once looked up to him, and eventually grows to be very loyal to Firestar. I wish people talked more about the scene where he saves Fire when Tiger tries to drown him even though they’re not at all on friendly terms yet. Also his mentor-apprentice relationship with Swiftpaw tears me apart but I live for all the fan content that shows their bond and how much regret he has to live with after Swiftpaw’s death.

To this day I have so many gripes with what happened to my boy post-TPB.

If there is a non-death equivalent of TV Tropes’ “Too Cool To Live,” Longtail is basically that. He had to be written out because if he weren’t forcibly removed from the action, then he would be the obvious choice to become deputy during Greystripe’s absence in TNP (and arguably should have been chosen over Greystripe in the first place; I do like Grey but he was not particularly loyal nor responsible in his youth). Longtail was still relatively young, healthy and fit, loyal, experienced, passionate. You cannot convince me that he wasn’t dealt a career-ending injury solely because the plot demanded Brambeclaw become deputy by the end of TNP.

I don’t think Longstar would have ever been realistic to expect because he’s not a central enough character and not related to Fire/Tiger, and because he would have been fairly old for a clan cat by the time of Firestar’s death, but maybe he could have held out as deputy till the end of TNP or even early PO3 and been given a cooler and more memorable death than what he got. But more on that later.

We all know how badly this series shafts its disabled characters. Maybe this is trivial to some, but I really hate the retcon about his blindness. When his vision started failing of natural causes, it was still frustrating for the reasons above but it at least seemed like he made a voluntary choice to retire early. He maintained a degree of agency, and he made his own decision under the circumstances rather than having it taken from him by the narrative. Having him get blinded by a rabbit of all things just feels like a cheap shot to move the plot along. If he were going to have a freak accident, at least make it less stupid than an experienced warrior getting his eyes scratched out by a prey animal.

Not that any of them are handled *well* by any means, but we have roughly this same character arc with so many other characters who are given more depth in coming to terms with a permanent disability or disfigurement and having it alter the course of their lives (Cinderpelt, Brightheart, later on Briarlight…) that we didn’t need this one to happen to prove any kind of point or to say something too much different than any of those other instances.

The silver lining of Longtail’s injury is that it allows us to see more of his friendship with Mousefur than we would have gotten if either of them had died younger, and/or if they had faded to being background characters in the ever-growing ThunderClan roster. I really adore their dynamic. I headcanon them as aroace besties (iirc though this is basically canon for at least Mousefur). I find it so lovely and refreshing that a m/f pair of characters, and ones who are mostly very likable at that, can have a platonic relationship with so much care for each other without it eventually going down the marriage-and-children path that most m/f relationships eventually do in this series.

However.

Longtail’s death, and Mousefur’s role in it, are possibly even more frustrating and narratively awful than even the accident that caused his blindness.

Having him go out in such a cheap and easily preventable way felt like such a fucking slap in the face to these beloved characters who have been around from the very beginning of the series. Longtail had his whole life redefined and turned upside down by one random, frustrating freak accident involving prey and he ultimately lost his life to another one. Mousefur’s character was mishandled so grossly here, and a cat who is usually pretty sensible and grounded lost her best friend because she couldn’t let one (1) mouse go in a moment of what I have to assume is senility.

I am at least glad the two got a proper send-off in the Great Battle, with them getting to reunite on-screen and his spirit guiding her to Starclan after she fell in battle. It doesn’t quite make up for everything else given that Longtail had so much unused potential while alive, but it all would have been so, so much more upsetting if they weren’t given at least that much to close their chapters.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk about Longtail. He is so dear to my heart and deserved so much better than most of what he got.

Top 6 shelved dramas that I would still really like to see

Ranked in no particular order, selection based on my personal tastes.

1) The Prisoner of Beauty

Plot : Adapted from the novel "Zhe Yao" by Peng Lai Ke, it tells the story of the arranged marriage between Wei Shao (Liu Yuning) and Qiao Man (Song Zuer). The fun thing about this marriage is that they both hate each other for complicated family reasons (in the novel Qiao Man's family is directly responsible for the death of Wei Shao's father), so they start they relationship by trying to make the life of the other a living hell. Ultimately, their relationship will develop as they are impressed by each other's ingenuity and discover common interests. There is also an important "let's protect the empire and the common people" plot behind the romance.

Why I wish I could see it : It looks good !! The main duo of actors are both really good looking, but the production in general looks really high budget, with good costumes and sets. I would love to see that. Just look at this trailer !

Why I am not seeing it any time soon : Song Zuer :/ bestie :/ tax evasion is bad !!

Can we have some hope ? : Not really, at this point of time, no c-actors caught for tax evasion managed to make an actual comeback in the industry (even really popular ones like Deng Lun or Fan Bing Bing). Song Zuer is still being investigated, so maybe we can hope to see her name cleared but it's a little unlikely because they don't investigate people just for fun. However Song Zuer was involved in a lot of high budget projects so I am sure a lot of people are really motivated to try to airdrop at least some of her projects if they have the possibility.

2) The Fated General

Plot : Classic high-budget historical drama telling the story of real life historical figure Huo Qubing (Zhang Ruoyun) during the Western Han Dynasty. It follows his military feats that got him the reputation of being one of the best military generals in the history of China.

Why I wish I could see it : First, the cast is incredible. We have Zhang Ruoyun (famous for being really good at choosing his scripts), Mao Xiao Tong, Bai Yu, Li Hongyi, Xu Yue, and others. It's really an all star cast except the drama was shot in 2016, before some of them became really famous, so it can be really interesting to watch ! Plus it's a really high budget drama, most of the outdoor scenes are shot in real landscape and not in a studio and it globally looks really good. For a better impression, look at this nice looking MV based on the different trailers of the show :

Why I am not seeing it any time soon : In 2019 (I think ?) the censorship rules changed concerning historical dramas and established the fact that dramas were forbidden to "distort" certain historical facts. This kind of put an end to traditional historical dramas as they became a way more risky investments, and stopped this one from airing as it already took some liberties in terms of storytelling. Huo Qubing is also a semi-controversial historical figure so it is not helping.

Can we have some hope ? : It's been 7 or 8 years and the regulations concerning historical fiction only got more restrictives in China so I would say no.

3) Immortality

Plot : I'm sure everybody knows the plot of Erha so I don't need to write it but just in case the important tags are : xianxia, dangai, shizunfuckers, reincarnation, blood spitting, stairs, ...

Why I wish I could see it : Outside of the obvious reasons (gay people on my screen, Luo Yunxi spitting blood), it's also produced by the same people involved in the production of Till the End of the Moon and Shui Long Yin, so I have I hopes for the artistic direction of the drama. Also for dmbj fans : did you know Liu Chang played a guest role in this drama ? Idk what he is doing here but I would love to see it.

Why I am not seeing it any time soon : We are all aware of the famous 2021 dangai ban, but in general the chinese government is not a big fan of massive and really agitated fandoms (in the way The Untamed fandom was), so Immortality is in a pretty bad position.

Can we have some hope ? : Yeah !!!!! Hyx TOMORROW !!! Believe in your dreams !!!

For real : Two options. 1) On a random morning of the year 20XX you wake up to danmei fans in your tl losing their marbles bc the 6 first episodes of hyx were randomly airdropped during the night with no promotion and no warnings. You cry some tears of joy and immediately go watch Luo Yunxi spit some blood on screen. 2) After many years hyx is still not out but there were so many leaks that the fans managed to recreate the entire series from scraps and now you can watch it in full. Look, they already started :

4) Night Wanderer

Plot : Zong Yin (Ni Ni) is a forensic expert living in Shanghai in 2021. She met, in her own apartment, a man, called Sheng Qing Rang (Deng Lun), claiming to be the owner of this apartment but in 1937. Together they discover that they can travel to their respective time periods through their shared apartment and start to develop a strong relationship, first as confidence and progressively as lovers. However, the situation get complicated as the Battle of Shanghai broke out in 1937 putting both of their lives in danger.

Why I wish I could see it : First, for lesbian reasons as I would never miss an occasion to stare at Ni Ni for 36 episodes (Wang Yuwen also has a supporting role here and I really like her ! Double win !). Second, it's actually a really nice and original plot for a CDrama and I have full confidence in both actors' capacity to pull off a really good performance to go with it. Look at this trailer ! It looks so promising !

Why I am not seeing it any time soon : Deng Lun !!! Tax evasion is bad !!

Can we have some hope ? : Even less than for The Prisoner of Beauty as Deng Lun is 100% proved to have committed tax evasion. There is often rumors about him coming back to acting but it's unlikely.

5) Winner is King

Plot : Based on the novel "Sha Po Lang" by Priest, set in a steampunk version of the Liang Dynasty. It tells the story of Chang Geng (Chen Zhe Yuan), a young man living in a random countryside village, who discovers after a raid on their village that the closest people around him were hiding a big secret about his identity. He also discovers that the people around him are not who they pretend to be, especially his yifu (adoptive father, played by Tan Jianci), and realizes that his life will never be the same.

Why I wish I could see it : Outside of the reasons already mentioned in hyx's case, Winner is King is also directed by the same director as Guardian and a Journey to Love. I really like his work and he proved that he was able to do really good things even with a really low budget, so now imagine with a decent amount of money ? It could be great. Also I really like the idea of an ancient china steampunk but I am too lazy to read the book.

Why I am not seeing it any time soon : Same reason as hyx and all the other dangais </3 Also I am not sure of how advanced the production was when it was stopped, because I feel like there are not as many content leaks.

Can we have some hope ? : If we can manifest hard enough the end of the ban, it is possible.

6) The Love of Hypnosis

Plot : During the end of Qing Dynasty, a (patriotic) young man named Yen Shen (Jing Boran) meets a fragrance shop owner named Lu Man Sheng (Liu Yifei). Man Sheng has the special ability/ mission to relieve the hearts of people suffering because of love, but it does not mean that her own romantic life is easier to deal with. Together they fall in love and have to navigate the really troubled times of the end of Qing Dynasty.

Why I wish I could see it : If you are familiar with Liu Yifei and Jing Boran acting I'm sure you can see the potential of this pairing ??? Just the poster has more on screen chemistry than some pairings have in 40 episodes. At this point the plot could be written by a cat walking on a keyboard and I would still have hope for a good chemistry. Also the drama has Liu Mintao in a supporting role and I am in love with her so it's a plus.

Why I am not seeing it any time soon : First, there are some copyright issues with the original manhwa author. Second, the second male lead, Zhao Lixin, got more or less canceled a few years back for political reasons (sorry I don't have the details).

Can we have some hope ? : I would say maybe a little. Copyright issues can be solved and I've heard that Zhao Lixin is still shooting in dramas, meaning that there is hope for some of his stuff still being released.

That's all <3

Sorry for depressing information maybe ? Next time I promise I will make a post about dramas I am looking forward to and that are likely to be released sooner or later.

So I've finally finished Bloodhounds (+ ahjussi collection)

...and I have no idea where to start and what to say and how to feel.

No, wait, please hear me out.

It was b l o o d y and at parts a very difficult watch, as it has lots of explicit fighting scenes, which look extremely realistic and cruel. So cruel that I had to close my eyes and not watch, I even skipped many & i'm not sorry. However, there are also parts so heartwarming that it makes you forget about all the crimes and gore for a moment. So, it's up to you to decide if it's worth the struggle. Since the violence could be a bit too much for many, let's just say I do and don't recommend this one at the same time. Personally, one of things I greatly enjoyed is the subtle comic tone of Gun-woo's and Woo-jin's interactions with each other and their characters which represent people doing sports professionally so well, the purity of their hearts and lack of malice in everything they do, since they truly do live for the sports. Then there are two absolutely powerful and skillful young women, Hyeong-ju and Da-min, playing such important roles in the entire series, each of them individually contributing so much to the entire plan of bringing the bad guys down and saving what could still be saved. And also, one of the most enjoyable parts were definitely the bonds that came out of these newly formed friendships. Younger acting crew did an amazing job. In comparison to the older and experienced ahjussi crew (I'll get to them in a bit), they've got some serious talent. It must have been a huge undertake for both Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi to live up to the expectations of the entire team behind this drama. And they did it. They absolutelly slayed.

If you still haven't watched this drama, trust me when I say these two cinnamon rolls will instantly win your heart right at the beginning of the first episode. They're like the most perfect two besties you'd want to be besties with too. And yeah, you'll suffer thru all the horrors just to see them win the biggest battle of their lives. Gosh, every time I tried typing something coherent about them it just ended up being lots of crying shaking throwing up. They're the best, ok? And this is best I can do. ╥﹏╥

And while our marine boys scratched so many itches around this platform, I have to mention the absolute gentlemen that starred in this series and swept me off my feet *deepest sigh ever*

So many great actors took part in Bloodhounds, it's hard to believe my own eyes at times. Whoever was in charge of the casting did a killer job. I couldn't even take the bad guys seriously because they're freakishly handsome. Well, at least not until Kim Myung-gil brutally ended my favourite ahjussi trio damn you ep 6

What started as an obsession over two young marine guys and their bromance ended up as a hole in my heart over downfall of three middle aged criminals men and a will to trade all the money and gold bars for their lives. And more importantly, a huge appreciation for Korean actors over the age of 40.

No, let's be real. They're handsome and talented and great at their job and deserve all the love and support. With that in mind... here's a tiny screenshot dump because it would be a shame not to post it:

And I want to be normal about them and move on in peace but *internal screams* I've already mentioned Lee Hae-young in one of my earlier posts, addressing my obsession with the character he portrays, the sushi restaurant owner Hwang Yang-jung. And I know many people are obsessed with him too. But no one is speaking up. Which is silly. And tbh I really thought there would be more gifs of him and other men but...there's close to none? Can we talk about how fine this man is? How fine this whole ahjussi crew is? Can we... can we just acknowledge they sliced us all in tiniest pieces possible and burned us all till we turned into charcoal? Can we make a mess of kdrama side of tumblr by excessively posting about them? Pretty please?

It's true, I came for the boys, but stayed for these men. I'm not even joking when I say kdrama has me in a chokehold again, but this time for a whole new reason. Dropping everything just to watch series and movies these guys took part in sounds like the best idea at the moment. I even forgot about the new releases I started watching, which makes me laugh at myself, but... it is what it is. At some point, a girl just has to obsess over her favourite ahjussi, and that's okay.

CHNDIFJD IM BACK BESTIE!!!

and I’m here requesting more atrocities regarding Toradeen and smut 💀❤️.

Ok so I’ve been absolutely dying for a fic like this

Basically. Toralei and Clawdeen get into some argument. This is when they’re still in high school. (G3 obvi). And like before their friends or anything. They’re arguing, and Clawdeen basically has enough of her attitude and they start making out and Toralei is all flustered and Clawdeen ends up fuckinh her against the lockers. (Theirs no one there but part of the fun is the idea someone could easily walk in and see toralei getting absolutely demolished against the lockers. And it surprises Toralei jsur how much that turns her on). She’s very surprised she’s going along with it and also totally mortified she’s so aroused by Clawdeen topping her.

Here I even have screenshots of me ranting about it to friends

OH AND SHE HAS THE BIGGEST DAMN MOMMY KINK EVER. Begging, DEFINITE OVERSTIMULATION. Manhandling. Rough treatment for the win!!!! Toralei absolutely gets off on being humiliated which embarrassed her even further cause she didn’t even know thag till Clawdeens literally ducking her against the lockers (definite clothed sex. Clawdeen has a random ass strap on)

A/N: you really pulled out the screenshots, 👏 i commend you. I had to draft this a few times to get one I really liked so this took a little longer than I liked but 🤌 there is nothing this writer can’t do. I mentioned in another post I didn’t watch the first or second live action MH movie, so these are little based off of Wikipedias breakdowns of the movie😭, so if things seem a bit out of place that is most definitely why. I also decided to make this songfic just because this song truly fits these two.

Warnings: girl x girl, NSFW under the cut, characters are aged up (18), dacryphilia, Songfic!, lyrics are in bold, exhibitionism, mommy kink mid-way through, hints at humiliation

Navigation!! // Masterlist!!

STRANGERS

She doesn't kiss me on the mouth anymore

'Cause it's more intimate, than she thinks we should get

She doesn't look me in the eyes anymore

Too scared of what she'll see, somebody holdin' me

“Why can’t you just hear me out? Things don’t have to be like this Toralei.” Clawdeen said, trying to reason with her. Toralei continued her pace down the corridor, trying to do anything but be apart of this conversation any longer.

“What’s there to hear if it’s all pointless?” Toralei quipped back, her pace quickening.

“You’re not even giving me a chance.” Clawdeen said, catching up to her, putting a hand on her shoulder to turn her around. Toralei stops with a huff, crossing her arms.

“It’s a waste of time. This is a waste of time, you-“ Toralei is cut off. Clawdeen pulls her close, hands on her cheeks bringing her into a kiss. Toralei wishes she didn’t enjoy it so much. This was wrong, right?

When I wake up all alone

And I'm thinking of your skin

I remember, I remember what you told me

“We should be doing this.” Toralei says between kisses, back flush against the lockers.

“Why are you so worried about what we shouldn’t be doing?” Clawdeen asks, brows furrowed, a frown pulling at her lips. “Why don’t you worry about what you want?” Clawdeen asks, leaning closer, their lips barely brushing against each other. “Is this what you want?” Clawdeen whispers, barely being heard by Toralei.

Her head is spinning, her feelings are a mess. She knows they shouldn’t be doing this, here of all places where anyone could see them. But she also knows this is what she wants. But could she really give herself that?

“Toralei,” Clawdeen reminds, eyes searching Toralei’s for something, anything. “Is this what you want?” Clawdeen asks again. Toralei remains quiet, instead choosing to close the distance between them, thinking yes.

Said that we're not lovers, we're just strangers

With the same damn hunger

To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all

We're not lovers, we're just strangers

With the same damn hunger

To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all

“You really want to do it here?” Clawdeen asks breathlessly, Toralei whining at the loss of contact as Clawdeen pulls away. Toralei nods, sexually frustrated at the loss of contact. Her jacket was off and on the floor, Clawdeens as well.

“I don’t care, I just need you.” Toralei says, pulling Clawdeen into another kiss. Despite the cool metal against her back, Toralei’d body was on fire. The weight of the situation had long subsided, the frustration and need lingering in her was more important, something she needed to take care of. Clawdeen moved her hands down her waist, honing her fingers through the belt loops, pulling Toralei closer, grinding into her. Her legs parted, allowing Clawdeen to slide between them, getting closer. “Clawdeen~ oh-!” She moaned, hands finding purchase on her shoulders. Clawdeen grinned, kissed going down to her neck, moving to leave light bite marks on her collarbone.

“Don’t be too loud now.” Clawdeen says, flipping her skirt up, revealing her obviously wet panties, sticking to her.

She doesn't call me on the phone any more

She's never listening, she says it's innocent

She doesn't let me have control any more

I must've crossed a line, I must've lost my mind

It had felt like forever to Toralei, face mushed against the lockers. The cool metal did nothing to erase the blush dusting her cheeks, nails nimbly gripping onto the locker for some sort of support. Clawdeen had now had her skirt flipped up for what felt like hours, but was really only minutes and to Clawdeen, just the beginning.

“Clawdeen please,” Toralei panted, knees growing weak from the stimulation. “Just let me, j-just let me cum already.” Toralei pleaded. Clawdeen grins, reveling in the way Toralei moans when she hits a particular spot that has her slipping further away from reality.

“Why should I?” Clawdeen asked, leaning closer to whisper in Toralei’s ear. “You should be ashamed, what kind of slut likes being fucked against a locker?” Clawdeen asks, and Toralei only whines in response. “You like this don’t you? The thought of someone seeing us.” Clawdeen asks, thumb moving to circle her clit through her panties. Toralei’s back arches into her, desperate for more, more contact, more anything. “C’mon, say it, you know you like this.” Clawdeen said, picking up her pace.

“I do! Ugh I do! Clawdeen I’m-!” Toralei cuts off, a loud moan ripping from her throat. Clawdeen just smiles, pressing a kiss to her cheek, a contrast to her assault under Toralei’s skirt, the tip of Clawdeens strap, which Toralei hadn’t even realized she had on, kissing her cervix perfectly, her eyes practically rolling back into her skull.

When I wake up all alone

And I'm thinking of your skin

I remember, I remember what you told me

“je suis si proche!” Toralei says, and though Clawdeen has no idea what she’s saying, she takes it as a good sign, the sounds coming from where the two are connected getting more vile as Clawdeen keeps up her pace.

“You gonna cum? Gonna be a good girl for mommy?” Clawdeen whispers, laughing when Toralei lets out a high pitched whine, gripping onto the locker for dear life as she cums, the strap coating in a light ring of cum as Clawdeen keeps up her face.

“What a dirty girl. Getting off in public, must be nice huh? Being able to get fucked so good against some stupid lockers?” Clawdeen asks, her hips snapping faster despite Toralei’s orgasm washing over her.

“Clawdeen, I- I can’t anymore,” Toralei says, moaning at a particular hard thrust. Clawdeen clicks her tounge in annoyance, holding onto the back of her neck to stabilize herself, hips jutting into Toralei’s, focused on giving her another orgasm.

“I’m amused you think out of the two of us you’re in control here.” Clawdeen says, hipping snapping forward again.

Said that we're not lovers, we're just strangers

With the same damn hunger

To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all

We're not lovers, we're just strangers

With the same damn hunger

To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all

Toralei had never felt more tired in her life. She had also never had that many orgasms in a row before. Toralei was tear faced, back against the cold locker now, hips painfully being pushed into the cold metal almost as if she was trying to become one with it. Clawdeen was having her fun, pushing Toralei to the limit as ‘revenge’ for their argument earlier.

“Please, Clawdeen- I-“ Toralei stuttered. She had been babbling nonsense for so long neither one of them knew what she was begging for anymore.

“Too much for you?” Clawdeen asked with fake sympathy. Toralei nodded, mascara staining her cheeks, eyes squeezed shut as she felt another orgasm hitting her. Clawdeen just laughed, gripping her hips and pulling her closer to meet her thrusts.

“You can take it, you can do it.” Clawdeen said, the sound of skin slapping making Toralei hide her face with her forearm. “No no no,” Clawdeen said, reaching up to pull her arm away. “Focus on me.”

I miss the mornings with you laying in my bed

I miss the memories replaying in my head

I miss the thought of a forever, you and me

But all you're missing is my body, oh

“This is a one time thing,” Toralei huffed, straightening her skirt and brushing the hair out of her face, despite the sweat sticking to her.

“Sure, keep telling yourself that.” Clawdeen winked. Toralei felt her cheeks heat up.

Said we're not lovers

'Cause we're just strangers

With the same damn hunger

To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all

We're not lovers, we're just strangers

With the same damn hunger

To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all

FROWNY I FINISHED IT.

I don’t even have the words to describe how shocked I am. I don’t even know what to write because the ending genuinely shocked me and it’s not even DONE.

ADAM. PERSEPHONE. THE LEY LINE??? CABESWATER???? RONAN??? THE NIGHT HORRORS??? KAVINSKY??? OH MY GOD MATTHEW?? THER MUM??????? HOLY SHIT.

Okay. Let’s seee if I can get my thoughts to work.

Adam and Persephone are a duo I didn’t see coming but I actually like it a lot. They both give off melancholic vibes you know? I think they understand each other, in some way. The way to redirect the ley line was AMAZING? And Adam finally coming to terms with Cabeswater? He’s the magician?? Honestly love him so much!

Ronan. RONAN. Oh my god Ronan. I don’t even know what to say. He’s gay? I’m pretty sure he’s gay. There’s just so much to say about him really. The way him and Kavinsky have the same dream place — the way he talked to the trees? The way he saw Adam? The way Adam could see him too? The way he just KNEW? The lightning? The rock? ADAM OMG. Anway. Ronan’s night horror was a genuine shock. The way it symbolised his hatred for himself? And once he accepted himself could he finally control his nightmares? UGH. THE WAY HE DREAMT HIS DAD?? THE WAY HE LEARNED WHAT HIS DAD HAD WANTED HIM TO? THE LANGUAGE OF THE TREES??? The battle between Kevinsky’s fire dragon and Ronan’s albino terror? Honestly so cool. Matthew? Like MATTHEW? During the first book I thought the Lynch brothers all despised each other but it’s more like Declan and Ronan hating each other and only doing things for Matthew’s sake. RONAN you are an amazing big brother omg.

Their mum??? She’s back??? The will ???? I’m so shocked I can’t even believe it. I knew they’d do that — of course she’d come back — but still. Also. EXCUSE ME RONAN LYNCH BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR SECOND SECRET IS ADAM PARRISH? HELLO??? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? 🤨🤨🤨

I had to stare at the wall for a good minute because the ending genuinely shocked me. Like. MAURA. WHAT. THE. FUCK. It is one in the morning and I’m not even tired I’m probably gonna start the third book now oh my lord 😭

I’m so happy you introduced this series to me Frowny because now I don’t know what I would be doing right now?? How could I NOT love these guys???? AHHHHHHHHHH.

ALSO WHEN YOU SAID ADAM WOULD GET LOVE SOON I HOPE IT HAPPENS!! I NEED HIM TO BE LOVED.

You're tearing through these omg

YEAHHHH I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN...THE ENDING LEFT ME "...what the HELL-" skdhkajdd and you still have two more books left...🫠🫠🫠

Akdbiwhdosb I love their mentor-student relationship sm they break my heart every time </3

I don't think it's a spoiler but I think in the spin off he does explicitly call himself gay lol. I LOOOOOVE THE FIGHT WITH THE DRAGON AND THE NIGHT CREATURE IT WAS SICK AF. and I love Matthew we'll see him more later <3 he's such a silly guy...

HEHE IDK WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS?? ✨️ (I can't wait for that scene kagdjshdj)

Blue Lily, Lily Blue was CRAZY bro idk what to tell you except you're in for a ride, one time I stayed up till 6am reading 😭

Thank you to my bestie for getting me to read it hihi <3 the raven cycle goes on forever...one day, you'll also recommend it to someone ✨️

And I promise you, Adam will be loved (picks him up) never forget you have been loved :")

[ispreadrabieslikewildfire]

Please tell me about Harper and Feena!

OMEHAGUROHMEGAUR OKOKOKOKOKOKOK SOSOSOOSOSOSO (thamk yo uso much TEHE) alao im sorry if this makes NO SENSE im spilling my head into paragraphs and not proofreading rhis is gonna end HORRIBLY but i hope you enjoy😭!

Anwyay so harper and feena started when @thatbiblicallyaccuraterat asked me to draw a silly guy eating monster much and he turned into harper (ill link some pictures to show) and he felt lonely so i made him a friend called feena and theyve been a thibg since then HOLY SHIT I THINK ITS BEEN 2 YEARS?????

Harper and feena r supposed to be my silly ocs that are my go toos when i start daydreaming and drawing! Their not supoosed to have too much trauma and stuff (IM CONTAINING MYSELF) so i camt head empty and harper its also so when i draw them they make me happy they are my happyness. So becazue i cant give them trauma i make altermate realitoes where i CAN give them trauma!!

Im gonna make sections so i caj explain everthing so it can atleast try to make sense

1. THEIR RELATIONSHIP :3

Ok so when i started I made them friends ofc!! And i thought they where cool as hell so i started thinking about their relationship and i was thinking how wierd it would feel if they where a couple so their thing is that their completely platonic and are jist realy close friends that are realy comfortable with each other, i wouldnt say like 'siblings' but more like that one cousin that your realy close with. I like to think of them as denji and power from chainsaw man (however i see denji and power as more of siblings) but no matter how close they get with eachither they dont feel anything romantic :3 i have a thing that when they where 14/15 they where like fuck it lets kiss and they hated it!!!!! they wanted to die!!!!!

I also have different ages for them i draw them as for whatever mood im in! So i have toddler harper and feena (theyve met in primary school) and then children harper and feena (10-12) and then theres also teen (14-16) and preadult idk forgot what its called (17-19) and adult! (20-22) by 20-22 they have an appartment with 2 other roomates nadia and caspian i dont realy have a story for them yet however they do have designs. So basically they jsut spend their entire lives together as besties and this is their main world where their happy and have no trauma and are just silly!!

2. Sexualities n stuff

Well im nor good at this stuff since i realy have no kmowledge but i kinda just peojected me and @thatbiblicallyaccuraterat onto them...

Harper:

Bisexual, he/they. Dyslexic and/or is on the autism spectrum idk i dont think much about this

Feena:

Aro/ace or Asexual i havent decided, goes by anything. I honestly dont even know she is any and all illnesses

3. Childhood and all

So i dont wanna give them a traumatic childhood since their my silly chracters!!

HOWEVER, they do have some sort of backstories.

Feena:

Some sort of religious trauma, her family where 100% praise our lord and saviour jesus christ and she didnt feel part. Knew what she was when she was a teen and after harper came out and was more comfortable. Didnt tell her parents until she moved out, (they very obviously didnt take it well) however is still in touch with them!! Their just kinda realy uncomforable whenever the subject changes to jesus or gay stuff idk.

Harper:

Twas a bit (a lot) stupider than most people his age (austismmmmm) his parents payed more attention to their sisters so that they could have a better education instead of wasting their time on a child thatll never learn and refuses to listen (wasnt diagnosed till he was an adult so they thought he was being annoying purposefully). Tbh just whats a hug LMAO. He came out to his parents, they told him it was just a phase and theylll get out of it eventually.

So ya!

4. The cats need their own section

So ive always eanted these 2 cats, one called jester one called mariposa. So if i cant have them whats better than having my oc that represents me having them?

This is jester! (SHES PREFECT THIS IS HOW I ENVISION HER)

This is mariposa :3

5. Universes

Like i said since i dont want harper and feena to have too much trauma i create new universes for them! Other than my main ailly one theres another 3 i favour out of all the ones i make

1. I made a dystopian after apocolypse one (MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE ITS SO FUN TO MAKE!!) where the aftermath is that the world (well at leats where their living) is split into two, the privlidged and less priveledged (I NEED NAMES FOR THESE I DONT HAVE ANY) anywwy what i think i can best decribe this as is like the hunger games, where theres the 'capitol' and the 'districts' but instead of there being districts its all just survival of the fittest L lmao so yah. So after the apocolypse harper and feena are split up. Feena ends up with the privileged and harper ends up with the less. Harper finds a place he can call 'home' (FOUNDFAMILYFOUNDFMILYFOUNDFAMILY) and feena ends up on the other side where she gets her memories wiped and she then hets brainwashed to belive she was sent down as a gift from god during hard times and everyone is supposed to worship her (tehe i wont bother yiu with any more of this story)

2. Silly little 80s teen ghost busting show like scooby doo with harper feena nadia and caspian

3. detective harper and feena (havent built a lot)

6. I FORGOT TO ADD DYNAMIC

So basically feena can be smart when she wants to but chooses to fuck around with harper, quite a bitch if you guys just met. Pretty resereved when shes around people she doesnt know amd her social skills arent great. If you give her a chance she can be quite nice and passionate. Can ramble for hours on ends

Harper, guys hes trying his best. Loud, can ramble for hours on end too.

And thats all i can think of...sorry for ramblong so much i jist realy love them. i dont expect anyonw to actually read this... Once again this is just me projecting me and @thatbiblicallyaccuraterat onto harper anf feena!

Thank you @rainbowghostcat sososoososo much i love youuahahhah <333

Ill attach drawing of them in the mprning!

Cruel Summer

Chapter 3: Blood Sport.

Word count: 2.1k.

Image above is Evelyn’s dad Haydn

Dearest Evelyn,

Oh Evie, how wonderful it was to love you. Loving you was like loving an old God for the first time in millennia. It brought me so much faith and filled me with so much joy, if I had to write it out it’d be a full length novel. But it’s time this story comes to an end. Not because I don’t love you, but because you’ve outgrown me. Since Sixth Year, I’ve loved you and you showed me beauties beyond comprehension. I’ve watched you flourish into this Goddess of compassion and faith. I feel like a mouse compared to you. Recently I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m hindering your growth; you’re always coming back for me when I fall. You can’t move forward if you’re always moving backward to help me. I prey you find someone who is as Godlike and passionate and bursting with life as you. Unfortunately that’s not me at this time. You deserve someone who matches your energy.

Xoxo Charlie

It’s been less than a month since you got that text from Charlie. He’s currently away in Ibiza for holiday with his friends. It boggled your mind that someone could send that text and then go on a boy’s holiday two weeks later. You were wrecked when you received that text at three in the morning. You didn’t bother calling your mum, you just showed up at her door at four in the morning a sobbing mess. Adam answered the door initially, holding a baseball bat by his side; probably seeing if there was danger. When he saw it was you, he was more confused. But when your mum saw you, she immediately knew something was wrong and brought you inside for a cuppa.

You and Charlie have been together since you were eleven. You devoted seven years to him and this is how he breaks up with you? You two were each others’ first for pretty much all milestones teens achieve. The worst part is you saw him earlier that day and everything seemed fine, so that text at three in the morning was a complete blindside.

Luckily you had your family to help get you through the worst of it. Unfortunately, even though your family was understanding, you job wasn’t. You still had to show up for your early morning shifts. Your mum doesn’t know this but a few days ago you quit your job. You were so tired of being overworked and underpaid and undervalued that you just quit mid shift. Your work mum was proud of you for standing up for yourself. You work bestie was on the till so she didn’t get to see you throw your apron at your manager and walk out of there like a boss.

You grinned to yourself as the residual feeling coursed through you. You followed behind Felix as he drove down the back roads just outside town, realizing the turn you missed initially was on the opposite side of the road and that’s why you missed it.

The last time you were at Heelshire mansion you were eight but when you saw the mansion for the first time in a decade, your memory didn’t do it service. The vast building sat in a clearing, surrounded by woodland. The mansion itself looked well taken care of, windows were clean, the garden was taken care of and the place, despite it’s gloomy presentation, looked inviting. It looked like home to you. It felt weird to you; ever since your dad died nowhere has felt quite like home. Although, for some reason, you felt like you just got home after a day of school.

You frowned to yourself, not understanding the emotions you’re feeling. Felix parked in front of the house, you parked behind him. By now the sun was shining and the almost unbearable summer heat made you roll down your windows as you drove.

You turned off the car and grabbed your bag off the passenger side floor and got out of the warm car. Felix had already wandered up to the steps leading into the mansion.As you went to meet him you were digging through your keys to find the house key Gary had given you. But something made you stop just before the steps. You paused for a moment, trying to figure out what this new feeling was. You felt it before, it felt very familiar. Like you were being watched from a distance. Maybe it’s just the uneasy feeling of this new adventure. The moment you step foot in the house, your life will change forever.

“Evelyn?” Felix’s voice brought you back to reality. You blinked a few times before settling your attention on him.You deeply inhaled before going up to the large front door, unlocking it was a loud ‘clunk.The door creaked open, revealing the dark insides of the mansion. You remember as a little girl being afraid of this place. You 100% believed in was haunted and after a very eventful but long overnight visit here, you swore to never have a sleepover at your grandparents’ again. The eeriness of the mansion hasn’t changed, but it’s about to.

You took a brave deep breath then broke the threshold between worlds. The inside of the mansion was cooler than the outside, not by much but it was noticeable when you walked in. Warily, you looked around. The place hasn’t a bit since you were a little girl. Same wallpaper, same furniture, same rugs, same everything. It was like you stepped back in time.

“Has it changed at all?” Felix asked from somewhere behind you, you heard the front door shut and latch. You pursed your lips together and turns to look at him. A cheeky smirk crossed your lips when your brain came up with a comeback.

“Oh yeah, there’s a lovely layer of dust on everything that wasn’t there before,” you twanged back at him. Felix couldn’t help but smile and chuckle, shaking his head at your observation.

“I’m going to take that as a no then,” he commented. You sniggered to yourself as you wandered the main floor, taking in the few memories you have of this place.

“So what are you going to do with the place?” Felix inquired from the other room. I longingly stared at the paintings and the antiques classily littering the walls. A lot of this stuff has been in my family for generations. And now it was yours to do with as you pleased.

“My dad’s dream was to turn this place into a bed and breakfast, so I guess I’m doing that,” you replied honestly. The main floor was made up of five main rooms; the foyer, the study, the dinning room, the kitchen and the living room. Those rooms all lead into each other to form a circle around the house, or you can take the shortcut from the foyer straight into the kitchen. Or you can be a weirdo and just do laps around the house, like what you’re doing.

“An entrepreneur, I like it,” he chirped as he wandered behind you. You visibly cringed at his attempt at flirting, and hoped he didn’t see any of that.

“Yeah, sure,” you groaned as you stopped in the kitchen, opening cupboards to see what food your grandparents left you. Which was a whole lot of nothing.

“I can go into town and pick up some shopping for you,” Felix suggested. You pursed your lips and shook your head.

“I can do my own shopping thank you very much,” you shot back.

“It’s just, your grandparents always have their shopping done every Thursday and Malcom’s delivers it but he’s gone and they’re gone…” he trailed off once he realized what he had just said to you. “–I’m sorry.” Were the next words out of his mouth. You shook your head and waved your hand at him.

“I wasn’t really close to them anyways,” you twanged back at him. Felix stared at you in disbelief, unsure of how to navigate this conversation. “–Besides, I’m not my grandparents,” you reminded casually. Felix’s eyebrows fell together and he tilted his head with a smirk of disbelief.

“You’re not really close to your grandparents, yet they leave you everything. Can we swap grandparents?” Felix joked. You had to admit, his proposal made you grin. You cocked an eyebrow and crossed your arms over your chest.

“You wanna be the owner of a creepy doll your grandparents got to replace their dead son, and then made up strict rules to live by including never leaving the house for anything?” You proposed honestly. Felix’s face dropped as he stared at you.

“You have Brahms?” He asked sheepishly. Your stomach began to twist and turn into tight knots. His reaction wasn’t what you expected, it was far from it.

“Yeah I do,” you replied in a soft, hesitant voice.

“Cool,” he said with a slight smile. You chuckled at his statement, brushing your hair behind your ear. You found his deep dark chocolatey brown eyes, in a single second they mesmerized you. Felix and you stared at each other for the longest moment you’ve ever experienced. There was tension building; that was undeniable. His dark gaze wasn’t focused on your eyes, they were aimed slightly lower. You felt a light blush warm your cheeks and a weak smile curled the corners of your mouth.

The moment was absolutely ruined when Felix’s mobile phone started ringing. You were snapped out of the trance like state. You blinked a few times and gave your head a slight shake. Felix fished his mobile phone out of his pocket and answered it.

You gave him some privacy by leaving the kitchen and going back into the foyer. Your eyebrows furrowed when you saw the front door wide open. You stopped in your tracks and looked around, knowing Felix closed that door when you guys went inside.

‘Maybe it didn’t latch properly,’ you thought of an easy explanation that was probably the correct answer before walking over to the door, shutting it and putting your weight into it so it’ll latch this time. You sighed, resting your body against the door. You gaze fell to the ground only to be caught by muddy footprints. Bare footprints. These prints didn’t belong to either you or Felix, seeing as you both were wearing shoes and these are bare footprints. They were leading from the front door. Your gaze followed the large prints into the study. You damn near jumped out of your own skin when your eye got caught by the well dressed doll sitting on the leather love seat in the study; knowing you left that doll in your car. You stared at the doll as your mind raced through all the possibilities.

“Nope,” you said when the idea of the doll being haunted popped up in your mind. You grabbed the doll from the love seat and went to take it to the attic where you knew there was a closet with a lock on it.

“Hey, I gotta go. I left my mobile number on the counter. Y’know, in case you need a delivery boy,” Felix told you as he came marching back through the house in a hurry. He didn’t even look over at you as he hurried out of the house.

“Okay…” Was all you could say. A moment ago he appeared to not want to leave and now all of a sudden he’s hightailing it out of here like a bat out of Hell. You could only stand in the doorway with Brahms in tow and watch as he fled the mansion grounds. You looked down at the doll and pursed your lips.

“Oh so now that you’re back home you wanna act a fool, is that it?” You asked the doll, only half convinced the doll was actually haunted. The entire time it was at your flat nothing spooky happened but now that the doll is back in its enclosure it wants to not act right.

“Don’t make me bring a priest here, ‘cause I’ll do it,” you warned as you took the doll upstairs. You felt absolutely silly for talking to a doll at this age, but the doll may be haunted so you wanna commune with the ghosts. It’s only polite. Your mind raced as you thought of all the possibilities; having a haunted doll as an attraction to bring business to this small town was the greatest idea you’ve ever had. Bring in ghost hunters, let them make their little videos and watch the money roll in.

You made your way up to the cluttered attic and shimmied through the stacks of boxes to the back corner where there was a closet that had a deadbolt on it. You set the doll down on the floor of the closet and closed the door, locking it.

“Stay,” you scorned the doll through the door. You tiptoed back to the entrance and down the steps. You had a lot to do today, so there was no time to be pussyfooting around.

[what-if-nct]

hi hi hi today's reminder is a list of nct members i expect/want to see releasing solo albums (excluding taeyong bc he already has one out, dojaejung bc I have a strong feeling sm wants to push the unit as opposed to the solos, and markhyuck bc i will pay big money for them to take a nap):

1. ten: call me delusional but it is definitely happening by the end of 2024. he can sing, he can rap, he can dance, he speaks 618292 languages, he has the visuals, he has the brand recognition plus he's heavily associated with taem (hit the stage and superm) and i just Know they're gonna push him as the next taemin

2. taeil: at least a mini album before he has to enl*st or i will fucking riot

3. yuta: much like ten - can rap, can sing, can dance, beautiful specimen of a human man, super funny, plus he is one of the most popular members worldwide. it would make Big numbers, but it seems unlikely because he'd eat up nct japan. I'd still love to see it tho, i adore his voice

4. winwin: i just know even in a full solo album he'll end up with a collective 2 minutes of lines and I'm very curious how that would work

5. chenle: my baby. dream has a solid vocal line, so i wouldn't call it a hard carry , but he definitely is the backbone (watch their killing voice, he is the soul of their live singing) of their vocals. the harmonies, the ad libs, and he absolutely kills his own parts, and he's super versatile. this is one of the more unlikely ones on this list but I'd be very interested in listening to that

7. renjun: brilliant singer, i love his voice, he has such a pretty tone that deserves to shine more. also it would top the charts because each and every nct member would buy five of each version just to collect all the photocards. they could ask sm but they wanna do it right. want a fansign call? good luck, you're going up against 20 grown men who would kill for him no questions asked

8. xiaojun: he has never not been the star of a song he's on. take off, moonwalk, make a wish. he's the resonance era golden boy, just a well of potential. the boy is a Star

9. yangyang: universe era golden boy. he's quickly reached Mark/taeyong/Doyoung levels of fitting every single song, and has the unique advantage of sm knowing this and actually putting him on songs. again - sings, dances, raps, models, very funny boy. he has the Range

10. Kun: who's surprised here? honestly his voice is so severely underutilised, it hurts my heart, he has the absolute prettiest singing voice. give him the reins like taeyong and he'll produce an absolute masterpiece

bonus duos bc i thought of some while i was writing those:

1. any/all pairs out of xiaojun, renjun and yangyang: renyang bc besties and their voices would compliment each other, junjun because their unbreakable love cover is the third most watched youtube video in my history, xiaoyang bc again would compliment each other super well and it'd be a fun mixup in the wayv Duos

2. renjun and winwin: i just need to see the rest of them spontaneously combust

3. taeil and chenle: your honour in my heart they are Besties

4. Kun and Chenle: obviously

5. Johnny and Hendery: they would vibe. i know they barely know each other right now but i just believe they would Vibe. also you specifically would love it, and the world should revolve around your wants and needs

Hiiii! Ten definitely has a solo album around the corner. Like he's definitely been preparing for it like if not by year's end for sure in the beginning of next year. Like its just inevitable. I'd even just accept an ep from Taeil. Something cause once Sehun enlists it's only a matter of time for Taeil. Plus Taeil is injured so just one solo song will do. Till he returns.

I hope yuta does a rock album, like its just so him and needs to happen. If Yuta brings back screaming from kpops distant short visual kei past. Like a full rock album from Yuta would be everything. I also have songs I'd like for him to cover. Hatefuck - Motionless in white, Closer - Nine inch nails, Sinematic - Motionless in white, throne - bring me the horizon, I have a playlist I'll just send it to him.

Sweet baby Renjun, definitely needs a solo album soon, his voice is so pretty and needs to be highlighted. Chenle too!! Oooh and a Renjun and Chenle duet would be wonderful. Xiaojun, just put him in the studio and let him go it's what the world needs. I would love to see a Yangyang solo, I loved lowlow so much I need more Yangyang. I would like for him to also cover peach by yixing, it would just fit him. It's what Yixing would want. Of course Kun needs to have an album, it would be a beautiful album of ballads with just one unhinged song that no one expected.

Speaking of Yixing, I need Winwin to really go for it. I want multiple solo albums from Winwin and for his career to really prosper in China, make sm beg him to comeback but he's just too famous and busy. I used to be worried but I need Winwin to get only the best and succeed. But I really feel like SM is purposely holding him back cause they know the power he'd have.

Speaking of hear me out Renjun, Yangyang and Winwin, there's some untapped power there and I kinda need that. We have more than enough proof how good Kun, Taeil and Chenle are together, it's just destined. Yessss Hendery and Johnny would be best friends if they aren't already. And you are too kind but if I had one wish granted by sm it would be Hendery and Johnny duet that's it. Also Johnny, Jungwoo, Jaemin and Hendery there's something here. Not just cause they're all my biases. They're all the same level of weird and a little out of their minds. I don't even want a song. Just put them in a room alone with a camera I want to see what happens.

Harvard Decapolice headcanons because I'm having severe brain rot

Tw // Mentions of mental illness and truama

Harvard is genderfluid and uses he/she/they pronouns.

Identifies as queer in terms of sexuality (she doesn't really care about labels).

Harvard was born in Boston, Massachusetts.

They have a Bostonian accent

Is of Italian and Puerto Rican descent (Italian mother and Puerto Rican father).

She knows some Spanish and Italian from her mother.

Has PTSD from his mother's death and Bipolar II.

Because of this, he suffers from insomnia and nightmares.

They also get very irritable and have a lot of unresolved anger towards criminals regardless of the severity of the crime (I think this is just canon though lol).

Their father left when they were young so they were raised by a single mother. They really admire her because of it.

They weren't the best off financially, but his mother always tried to give him the happiest childhood she could.

Her mom was actually very supportive of her gender queerness. She found out because Harvard broke into her closet once to try on dresses and when caught, Harvard starting crying cause she felt guilty and said she was just "tired of wearing boy clothes all the time."

Soon after this, her mother took her out to buy some girl clothes and let her pick out enough clothes for 2 outfits.

They always loved their mom's cooking.

When his mom died, he became an orphan and grew up in the foster care system till he grew out of it.

Harvard loves makeup and fashion. It's one of her main hobbies, but it has been slowly waning due to her increased focus on avenging her mother.

They were initially teased in middle school because of this, but due to their stand-offish nature and intellect, people learned to shut up and mind their business.

In high school, they were actually considered pretty attractive with the ladies and men, but most didn't approach them cause they were scared. When they did, Harvard always rejected them cause they couldn't "waist their time on that crap." (And yet ironically, she ends up dating Carl in the future lol)

Has a soft side. She just wants to be loved and cared for, but due to trauma, she feels as if she "doesn't deserve it" and pushes people away with a cold and angry demeanor.

Acts confident (and is mostly), but has a lot of doubts that he hasn't unpacked yet.

Carl was one of the first people he truly cared for ever since his mother's death, but he has trouble expressing it because he's afraid he'll lose him as well.

The BPD has become a family for him over time.

Misae and Granger are kinda like parental figures to him almost. Granger especially becomes concerned at one point over Harvard's mental health.

He is besties with Manimani and they often banter and gossip with each other.

They also like to platonically joke flirt with each other.

He calls her Mani as a nickname.

He goes to her for relationship advice sometimes when he starts dating Carl (though he's embarrassed about it).

Bro is touched starved as hell, but he never expresses it.

He has a caffeine addiction.

She curses and says "fuck" regularly (average Bostonian).

I can't decide whether she really loves donuts or if she hates them, but keeps running into them in the virtual world.

She knows how to cook cause she had to provide for herself when she became an orphan.

I may add more later if I have anymore ideas. I'll probably do other characters (and ships) in the future too cause I have. A lot. Of headcanons.

Tuvok and Seven should have solved the Pon Farr together

Okay, yes, I realize that Tuvok is totally devoted to his wife, but think about it. His wife had to have had someone else to get through the Pon Farr too, right? Like a discreet neighbor or something. It's Vulcan. I mean, why wouldn't they have some sort of arrangement?

But clearly Tuvok hasn't thought of anything cause he's like, nah, I can just meditate this crap away which uh no dude, you cannot, how old are you anyway? Packing all that emotion, rage, etc. that Vulcans actually have in abundance rather than less of is gonna make anyone explode unless dealt with (which is also why Janeway and Chakotay would have exploded from the sexual tension by like season 4 at least.) So what can Tuvok do?

Using the Holodeck is a total copout, in my opinion. That's like saying all Vulcans have had to do this whole time when separated from their mates was keep a dirty magazine hidden under their mattress. I just don't think so. This is like his wife - you aren't gonna fool Tuvok with a picture of her, guy's been married for decades. He's got her down and you can bet he remembers every seven years' bonanza cause come on.

Here's where Seven comes in. Tuvok and Seven GET each other. They're stranded together with a bunch of overacting illogical beings that never listen to them and thus constantly run into trouble that could have been prevented had they just listened to Tuvok or Seven. They know this. Ultimately, they have to go along with everything, but that doesn't stop them being sarcastic as hell about it. I bet they got together for some tea every once in a while and spilled that tea like mad, making fun of the rest of Voyager until they'd snarked themselves senseless.

Another thing they have in common - the total practicality. Seven wants to experience everything, but she's not going to just fall in love with anybody (especially not somebody random but we won't get into that). No, if Harry had gone along with her it would have been a one nighter, and she'd have left like "That will be all, Harry". Which would have hurt Harry but -

Not Tuvok. No, this would be perfect for him. He'd get the necessities out of the way, and she'd get her experience, and then they'd just walk away and never, ever mention it to themselves or anyone else and been completely fine with it. Just carried on their friendship as usual.

I realize this was network T.V., blah blah (though look at what they DID get away with, just think about it) but I think it'd be absolutely perfect. Tuvok & Seven besties till the end.

They would never, ever tell and the thought is so awesome.

Alternate solution: Tuvok could have killed Neelix. You know he wanted to do it. Look how happy he was to murder him in the Holodeck! And all he'd get would be confinement to his quarters where he could be alone and do science projects. No problem!

Tuvok's thinking about it RIGHT NOW.

You're welcome, Voyager writers.
