So I work at a library and we got The Croaking volume 1 in and I was like huh gay birb boys I’ll just read until they kiss. Volume one is episodes 1-25. That’s 288 ish pages. They did not kiss in that time span. I figured it’s a webtoon I’ll finish up there. It took me two days but I finished what is currently published (THEY KISSED HURRAY now to take down corrupt government(s?)) the totality of the webtoon based on volume ones episodes to page count is 11.52 pages and episode. 234 episode time 11 or 12 is 2574-2808 pages. Anyway I freaking hooked. And distraught I can’t find more of a community for this.

Oh yeah there’ll prob be like 16 books 😭🤡

Awesome that it’s at your library though! I still haven’t seen it out in the wild but I also haven’t been to a comic store in years so

No, he really ought to let Crowley sleep in some more. Not a century, of course, but another night at the very least. He’d entertain himself with a good book or two and the time would simply fly by!

 That decided, he fixed himself a cup of cocoa and sat at his desk with a copy of Persuasion. It was his favorite Austen novel, but for some reason he couldn’t keep his attention on the pages in front of him. His gaze kept drifting to the empty couch across from him, or the pair of sunglasses on his desk, incongruous with the rest of the clutter.

  Maybe he should at least check on Crowley, just to make sure he was getting the restful sleep that he deserved.

"Beyond masks enamored hearts."

"Beyond masks, enamored hearts." https://ift.tt/CvTDwM3 by MischiefManaged_BookClub The war had left deep scars, both in the wizarding world and the Muggle world. Despite the golden trio's victory over the dark wizard, some damages were irreversible. The losses suffered on each side were considerable, and it was time to rise to the challenge of rebuilding and turning the page. This war had left Hermione Granger in a difficult situation. She had lost her family, and the emotional scars seemed to have deeply affected her, much more than her two friends. Hermione, usually considered the smartest and strongest of the group, was facing a sense of emptiness and vulnerability. She had made the decision to return to Hogwarts. It wasn't so much for the sake of her studies, but because she had nowhere else to go. The day of the return had come, but Hermione was nowhere to be found. She had been missing for several weeks, and even a certain blond had noticed her absence. Words: 2574, Chapters: 2/?, Language: English Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K.

Of which long series: 0, short series: 0, movies: 0, no specials or shorts

Drama MDL List Stats:

Comeback to Asian live action from end of 2021 cont'd. It fizzled out itself by the end of July.

Movies List Stats:

dead nothing

Regular Books List Stats:

dead nothing (I few started by a few pages... probably)

Manga/LN MAL/AP List Stats: Rated: 2574 (via Anime-Planet) 371 Reading (incl. 2 re-reading), of which 124 moved from the year 2021, not accounting for year breaks in reading (+ unknown not on MAL) * 686 Dropped (MAL based), of which 79 read and dropped in 2022 (+ unknown not on MAL) * 787 Dropped (AP based), of which 53 dropped in 2022 (not necessarily read in 2022, undrops are deducted) 1536 Completed (MAL based), of which 122 in 2022 (+ unknown not on MAL) 1642 Completed (AP based), of which 146 in 2022 (re-reads not counted + a few stray not on AP entries) Volumes read 2022 (based on screenshots of MAL totals): 9948-9333=615 volumes *

* numbers have to be more read as minimum threshold values, since drops and undrops became more erratic and the number of missing entries on MAL became too much work to track.

Total titles not on MAL for 2022: over 336 (includes Anime and Manga)

Anime-Planet rating numbers are askew, as some are set to want to read/watch as a maker for purchase want, but setting it so removes rating and episode numbers. The skewing is minor tho, due to hardly watching anything in 2022. Manga scores are askew due inconsistent score settings on reading/stalled entries. Manga reading/stalled counts are askew, since they denote either purchased or read volumes rather than only read volumes.

I really like the conversation between Karkat and Terezi here on pages 2574-2576, especially the part on page 2575. In some ways Karkat’s blood situation is an apt metaphor for various axes of oppression, but in this case I think that it is sort of situation specific.

This moment has some things going on which are not entirely clear yet. For one thing, while Karkat is confirmed to be a mutant at this point, it is not yet clear what level of persecution he faces as a result. Only later do we find out that his blood marks him for immediate murder by anyone loyal to the Condesce. This means that if they hadn’t escaped alternia into the game, Terezi would have a tough time enforcing alternian law while hiding a mutant friend or partner.

Cyrus got a letter in his locker on the last day of middle school. It could have been any letter from anyone. All it had as a reference from the outside was: “What I Was Going To Say”. Cyrus knew all too well about unsaid words. But still, he decided to tuck the note away until later, since his friends were supposed to arrive soon.

He waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Finally, Cyrus sighed and fished out the note. He looked it over once more before carefully unsealing it. He pulled out a plain white piece of paper, folded in half. This was on the page in bold, black letters:

Day 1: “You Can’t Get Your Own Muffin?”

The day we met might not have been a great one. It was during the time where I didn’t act the best, and my life was kind of falling downhill. To make it worse, I had problems with your best friend. Still, it’s one of the best days of my life. I helped you get a muffin and I defended you in front of the school.

What I Said: “You can’t get your own muffin?”

What I Was Going To Say: “I could get you a muffin.”

What I Said: “Hey! He’s with me!”

What I Was Going To Say: “Hey! I want this guy to be with me!”

So starts the one-sided conversation of all the words I was going to say, but never did.

Cyrus’s smile grew as he read the note. Of course, TJ would do something like this. He may look tough, but he’s a big softy. Cyrus was about to put the not back when he saw something on the opposite side.

If you want to continue this manuscript (manuscript? note? idk), then go on down to the setting of this note.

A scavenger hunt! Cyrus wasn’t surprised that TJ knew him so well, but it still gave him a warm feeling in his chest. Cyrus smiled at the thought of all the new notes, and carefully tucked away the paper. He looked around but decided his friends were somehow in on this and weren’t coming. Cyrus took a deep breath before heading off to the cafeteria.

***

Cyrus walked into the nearly empty cafeteria. Usually, Cyrus hated going on there alone, but there wasn’t the usual chaos that went on. He looked around, trying to find some clue at what he should be looking for. Eventually, he spotted a girl waving at him from near the muffin stand. Of course.

As he got closer, Cyrus saw that it was one of the girls from the basketball team. She smiled at him before handing him the note. She reminded him to go to the setting of the note next before heading off. After she left, Cyrus examines the note. It was identical to the one before it.

Cyrus opened the envelope and unfolded the note.

Day 2: “So, Do You Hang Out Here A Lot?”

God, that was definitely the best day of my life. Of course, I’d never tried talking to someone so as to not be scared of me, which resulted in that cringey pick-up line. But I’d never been with someone that I felt I could be myself with. Finally, someone wasn’t scared of or mad at me. Then Buffy showed and I tried to run. Even when she caught me, I probably would’ve bolted if it hadn’t been for your parting words.

What I Said: “You don’t know me. I got stuff.”

What I Was Going To Say: “You don’t know me. You wouldn’t like me if you did. But I want to get to know you.”

What I Said: “Thanks for reminding me about swinging. That helped.”

What I Was Going To Say: “Thanks for reminding me about swinging. You helped.”

Cyrus’s smile was soft and his heart was full. It was pounding actually. He and TJ have had some pretty emotional talks. But none of them even scraped the surface of these. Writing things down must be easier than speaking. These notes were not helping Cyrus’s huge crush on the boy.

Cyrus stood there for a while, pretty overcome with emotion. Finally, he decided he should head for the swing set, seeing as that was where the note was set.

***

There was a boy from the basketball team leaning up against the swings when Cyrus got there. The boy nodded at him before handing him the letter and hurrying off. How many people had TJ gotten to do this thing?

Cyrus quickly opened the letter to see the next message.

Day 3: “Hey, Underdog!”

You might not even remember this day, but it’s one of the biggest for me. It was the first time I had ever been invited somewhere without someone feeling obligated to do so. It was one of the biggest days for you and I learned later you were freaking out about it, but you still took the time to invite me. Even though I did nothing to deserve your trust, and my actions later weren’t exactly ones of a friend. It was also the first time I used your first, and my personal favorite, nickname.

What I Said: “I’ll be there.”

What I Was Going To Say: “I’ll always be there if it’s with you.”

Cyrus’s face heated up. He remembered the day vividly. Even as just a friend, Cyrus had wanted TJ with him when he turned 13. It was strange, but Cyrus already knew that TJ would be a major point in his development as a person. And man, had he been. Cyrus’s friends were the best and he wouldn’t trade them for anything, but TJ. He was TJ.

A few tears dropped into the note, but Cyrus quickly wiped them away. He folded the note back into the envelope and headed back toward the school. He hoped he wouldn’t have to walk too much more.

***

There was only one guy laying on a picnic table in front of the school when Cyrus arrived. He looked up when Cyrus arrived and handed him the note. Instead of leaving like the others, he just went back on his phone. Must not have a lot to do.

Cyrus went to a different table and sat down, mentally preparing himself for the next note.

Day 4: “Nothing Gets Passed You”

Definitely one of my worst days. Thought it would be my worst, honestly. Tween naivety, I guess. But it got better. Because you were there. It’s always better when you are there.

What I Said: “Maybe you shouldn’t be here at all.”

What I Was Going To Say: “I don’t want you to see me like this.”

What I Said: “She may have been right, but you’re the one who really helped me.”

What I Was Going To Say: “She may have been right, but you’re the one who really helped me. You always help me.”

Cyrus smiled as he tucked the note away, tears dripping down his face again. Only on the fourth note and already crying. Cyrus tried to hurriedly pull himself together before heading off to the gym.

***

Another boy was shooting layups in the gym while a boy Cyrus recognized as one of his locker neighbors watched on. They turned when they heard the sort open. The basketball player smiled and jogged over to Cyrus before handing him the letter. Cyrus thanked him, trying to stop himself from ripping open the letter. The guy nodded and went and sat down next to the other boy.

Cyrus opened the note with no hesitation, then.

Day 5: “Hey! Who’s Your Friend?”

Apologizing to a trash can. Now that was a first. But I didn’t even have a second thought about doing it. Because it was you. And I never knew I needed to have you with me at my work. The kids loved you. I mean, it’s almost impossible not to, so.

What I Said: “Listen, Underdog. If you can’t do a somersault, I can help you with that.”

What I Was Going To Say: “If you never need my help, I’m there. You’ve helped me more than I could’ve asked for, and I want to return the favor.”

Cyrus was pretty sure his smile was stuck. He headed off to The Spoon without a second thought.

***

As soon as he stepped into the building, Amber stepped in front of him, gave him the letter, and pointed to a booth with a waiting shake and basket of baby taters. Cyrus sat down and ate a few before pulling the note out.

Day 6: “Wanna Hang Out?”

Ok, so GIANT time skip, but even though I didn’t really say the things I wanted to, I didn’t regret the time where I was just your friend. I was nicer than ever (guess the reason for that) and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to spend my time with. So, I figured it was time for you to meet my friends. Which backfired horribly.

What I Said: “I talk about you.”

What I Was Going To Say: “I literally do not have the ability to stop talking about you.”

Cyrus laughed through his tears. He quickly finished his food and was about to walk back to the school when Amber stopped him and told him she would drive him around the rest of the way.

***

Cyrus hopped out as soon as they reached the school. Just inside the entrance of the school said Cyrus’s locker neighbor, still with the basketball boy. He handed Cyrus the letter. Cyrus was distracted by the letter, but not enough to miss the two boys walk away hand in hand. Huh.

Day 7: “That Swing Taken?”

God, so many wrong things were said that day. It’s really a miracle that it ended out okay. Maybe it was your influence. Let’s be honest, it definitely was. I was a mess. Still, pretty much am.

What I Said: “You can be a little annoying, you know that.”

What I Was Going To Say: “You can be annoying, but I wouldn’t stand it any other way.”

What I Said: “You know what else you are? The only person I can talk to like this.”

What I Was Going To Say: “The only person I want to talk to like this.”

Cyrus turned on his heel and jumped back into the waiting car.

***

Cyrus expected there’d be a different person, but the same guy from before was still there. He handed Cyrus another note before walking off again.

Day 8: “I’m Sorry. I’m So Sorry.”

What I Said: “I’m sorry.”

What I Was Going To Say: “I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry. I was going to call I swear, I just, couldn’t. I messed up. I know and I never wanted to do this. I just didn’t know what to do. I should’ve called, I shouldn’t have done this I’m sorry. I wish I could explain, but I can’t. And I know you can’t forgive me, but I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”

But I couldn’t say all of that. She interrupted before I could. And I couldn’t put all the regret I felt into that one word. The one word you taught me how to use and it’s not good enough. It could never be good enough. For as long as I live, that word will never be good enough. Not for you. I’m more than sorry, Cyrus. I’ll always be more than sorry.

The tears were running faster now as he hopped back in the car and headed to the school.

***

Cyrus barely even registered who he was interacting with as he took another note and ripped it open.

Day 9: “I Didn’t Think You’d Want To Talk With Me Again.”

Even though we cleared things up I didn’t believe things could be the same. Then, there was that night at Andi’s. And it was like nothing had happened at all. Except it had and instead of a rift, it was a stronger tie to each other.

What I Said: “I’m glad we’re friends again.”

What I Was Going To Say: “I’m glad we’re friends again, but I don’t think we’re just friends anymore. Maybe not ever.”

What I Said: “See you later.”

What I Was Going To Say: “I never want to stop seeing you again.”

Cyrus breathes a shaky breath as the tears poured, unopposed. He climbed back in the car and tried to steady himself on the way to Cece’s, the only one of Andi’s houses TJ had been to.

***

Cyrus wasn’t surprised to see his friends open the door. He walked in and none of them said anything. They just pointed to the back of the house. The sun was almost set by know and Cyrus stepped out onto a dusk-lit patio. He closed the door behind him and breathed in deeply. Finally, he turned to where he knew TJ to be.

The boy sat staring at his hands. He was messing with his hands, something Cyrus knew he only did when he was really nervous. His hair was dusted in pinks and oranges as the light faded. Cyrus’s reclaimed breath caught as he looked upon the boy who had claimed more of his heart than anyone. God, he was such a teenager.

Cyrus slowly walked until he was standing in front of the blonde boy. TJ looked up and shot up out of his seat. He worried his lip between his teeth as he looked at Cyrus. Cyrus breathed deep, preparing to say something. All that came out was a sob. He fell into the other boy and buried his face into his shoulder as sobs racked his body. TJ steadily wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. This was not how Cyrus imagined this going, but he could admit it felt good when TJ held him.

Eventually, they ended up wrapped around each other as they sat on the bench. Cyrus’s cries slowly quieted, but he still didn’t remove his face from TJ’s shoulder. TJ seemed to get the hint and started talking.

“So, you’ve read a lot of things I haven’t said. A lot of things I’ve wanted to say. Things I was too scared to say”, TJ paused, his voice starting to crack from emotion. Cyrus felt him swallow before he continued. “But no notes now, ok?”

Cyrus realized he was looking for an answer and nodded. He sat up a little and looked at TJ’s worried, but determined, face.

“So, this is what I was going to say. After the basketball game with Buffy, after all the times we’ve hung out, during the last time we were here. I like you. More than a friend should. I’ve liked you for a long time. And that’s all I’ve wanted to tell you since forever. I like you, Cyrus Goodman. And I’m not sorry, so please don’t hate me.”

Cyrus felt like he was going to cry again, but he was able to force out, “I like you, too” before pulling the older boy toward him and kissing him. The two of them melted and the taste of their tears moved together. They broke Of with a laugh before TJ oiled Cyrus in again. Finally, TJ pulled Cyrus against him and sighed. They sat together like that for a while, relieved of all the words they were going to say.

falling for you

Pairing: Kim Namjoon x Reader

Genre: Fluff, gender-neutral!reader

A/N: someone help this boy.

-

He stared at you from behind his open book, not even trying to focus on his work anymore. As long as you were working behind the front desk, he knew that none of his work was going to be completed.

It started a couple weeks ago. Namjoon was tired of the piles of work he was hardly able to complete thanks to his noisemaker of a roommate. Desperate to seek some peace and quiet he made a trip to the campus library, finding an empty table near the stacks of books.

“Ah finally,” Namjoon sighed, laying out his course materials and starting on his economics readings. While he worked on finishing his assignments hours passed, the library’s closing quickly nearing.

You were at the front desk, finally finished organizing the stacks of paper your supervisor had left for you. Despite your painstaking task, you held a positive mindset for it was almost closing time. You would be able to return back to your dorm after a long day of work, thinking of treating yourself to a nice bath while you finished the last chapter of your latest novel. In exactly 45 minutes, you would be making that a reality.

Namjoon didn’t see you walking towards him, concentrated on finishing this last essay. “Excuse me,” You called out scaring Namjoon, “sorry, but we will be closing in 45 minutes.”

“Oh okay.” Namjoon nodded, catching your smile before you returned back to the desk to finish your duties. His eyes followed you, the sound of your voice playing on repeat in his head.

Beautiful was what he immediately thought, captivated on your positive aura as you walked around to restock. You walked his way catching his staring eyes, Namjoon’s cheeks becoming bright red as he quickly looked back at his laptop.

From then on, studying at the library became a reoccurring past-time for Namjoon. He always sat at the same section of tables right in front of the book stacks, where there was a clear view of the front desk. 

You didn't work every day but on the days when you did, it was all he could think about. He started coming even on days where he had no work, coming up with excuses for his group of friends on why he just couldn't go out with them. Namjoon knew that if he tried to explain it to anyone there was a 100% chance that it would come out wrong, which is not what he intended. It was your passion for your work and helping others that was so alluring to him. How you were able to calm even the most stressed students with one smile. You just gave off a positive vibe that intrigued Namjoon.

Usually, he was reserved, only glancing at you when you would walk past him to help someone find a book in the stacks behind him, but today seemed to be a different story. His book, open to a random page, was held in front of his face, just low enough for his eyes to shamelessly watch you work. 

After weeks of giving into his introvert tendencies, today was the day he would finally talk to you. 

Taking a deep breath, Namjoon put his book down on the table before walking towards you.  

“Hello, how may I help you?” You asked politely, the sound of your voice sending Namjoon’s heart into a frenzy.

“I have a project coming up and was looking for some, uh, books.” He answered shyly. You smiled, nodding.

“What subject?”

“Foreign relations.” Namjoon could feel his brain malfunctioning. This was the dullest conversation possible and he hated himself for it.

You took him back to the racks, explaining which ones were good for different topics within international relations. During the whole time, Namjoon was focusing on your smile, zoning out to the point where you had to repeat a couple of things. As you both made your way to the front desk to check out the books, Namjoon figured it was now or never. But what would I say?

“So what university do you go to?” Not that. He scrunched up his nose after asking, thankful that you at least were turned so you didn’t see his cheeks burning in embarrassment. “I-I mean obviously you go here.” He tried to cover up his stupid question, wishing you were just talking about books again.

“I do,” you laughed, finding his mistake cute. “I study International Business with a focus on foreign relations. You’re studying that too, right?” You gestured to the books.

“Ah no. I just like foreign relations.” Namjoon scratched the back of his head. Be cool Namjoon. He composed himself while you were looking down to check out the remaining books. He leaned on the handle of a cart off to the side, trying to imitate one of his hyungs. “I am actually majoring in music.”

You brought your gaze back up to him giving him a bright smile, “that’s so cool!”

Namjoon grip on the cart faltered, resulting in him falling and the cart rolling off. He shot up, a flush overcoming his cheeks. You bit your lip trying not to laugh at his nervousness.

The truth was you had noticed him staring at you weeks ago. It may have come off creepy at first, but whenever you saw him blush when you caught him you couldn’t help but think it was cute.

You grabbed a piece of paper slipping it into one of the books, before handing him the pile. Namjoon took them slowly, walking off with his head down in shame.

Stupid, you couldn’t have made that any more awkward. He placed the books back on the table. Namjoon couldn’t even look up at you, choosing instead to start reading his books for the project.

He opened the first book, a paper falling onto the table. He picked it up, reading the neat font.

‘Maybe you can share your music with me sometime, 479-2574’

His heart stopped while he processed the words, before beating furiously in his chest and sending a rush of pink to his cheeks once he understood.

And from behind the front desk you watched his reaction, your own heart skipping a beat.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

The answer to the beginning of the madness that is AIDAN. Loved this little novella from the Illuminae Files trilogy. This small prequel gave insight to how AIDAN ends up the way it is and the events that lead to the Illuminae trilogy. It may have only been 82 pages, but it was still great! If you loved the trilogy, then you will love this short novella.
