a/n - intro being released today!

There’s nobody mingi prioritized more than he did that of you. his baby, to say the least. sure, some could say his behaviors were a bit over dramatic in the way he protected you like glass everywhere you went. but, in his opinion, there were way more than just five love languages. he thought his ‘overbearing’ and protective ways were a love language in itself, and nobody could tell him otherwise.

one day, the two of you are preparing to go out. nothing seems to be out of the ordinary when he’s helping you get your heels on, or when you’re driving to the restaurant. not even when you guys are ordering your food or eating it. in mingi’s eyes. the night was going to end as normal, and there was nothing to worry about.

but, as the two of you are leaving, you tell him that you want to get a few drinks at the bar before you head out. mingi shakes his head. “i have to drive us home, baby. i can’t have any drinks.” “well, at least let me have a few. you can have a virgin martini and i can have a… martini martini,” you argue, tilting you head. you tug slightly on mingi’s shirt sleeve. “c’mon, one drink can’t hurt.”

mingi can’t help but give in, ‘specially not with you looking at him like that. “fine, go on. i’ll pay.”

so mingi walked over to the bar with you, without a second thought. “hey, two martini’s. uh, make one virgin, please,” mingi muttered to the bartender. The bartender stood there for a second, and then looked over at you. “and what can i get you, pretty girl?” he says, leaning on the counter. he was so clearly hitting on you, ineffectively of course. “uh…” you look at mingi anxiously. “he’s ordering for both of us.” the situation should’ve ended there. the bartender should’ve just made the goddamn drinks, and then they should’ve just left. but of course it didn’t.

“mmm, i’m sure you can order for yourself. something better than a virgin martini, yes?” mingi could see that you were getting over whelmed, so he stepped in immediately. “the virgin martini’s for me. because i’m driving my girlfriend home to our shared apartment,” he says, making it very clear that you were taken. “wasn’t askin’ you, bro. let the pretty girl speak for herself, hm?” “if she did, she would tell you to your face that she doesn’t want you,” mingi snarks. “now do your damn job and get us those martini’s, you creep.” the bartender turns away and starts to make the drinks with a grumble, but then you cut in. “no, that’s okay. i don’t trust his drinks anyway.” mingi follows you out with sharp eyes, making sure to take note of everything, just in case some other creep tries to make a move on you.

he notices how upset you seem when you get in the car, and he knows he should say something about it. “is something wrong, princess?” you roll your eyes, sighing. “i was just… y’know, kinda excited about those martinis. its been awhile since we’ve gone out and shared drinks. i just wanted to have that again, and that guy ruined it.” “aw, my baby…” mingi coos, resting a hand on your knee, rubbing it a bit to comfort you. “hey, we can make martinis when we get home, ‘kay?” you shake your head, looking out the window at the stars outside. “i appreciate it, but it’s just not the same, you know?” mingi sighs. he wants to help, but he doesn’t know how. there’s no point in trying to go to another bar, because that mood is definitely ruined at this point.

“i’m sorry, baby. i wish i could help somehow.” you smile at mingi. “it’s okay, mingi, ‘s not your fault. I just hate it when creeps like that ruin our night.”

when the two of you got home, mingi tried his best to cheer you up, and you were trying your best to make it clear that you weren’t upset with him specifically. and of course he knew that. but that didn’t make the night any easier to get through. “hey, princess, you wanna watch a movie… or something?” you looked at him with tired eyes and he immediately regretted even asking that. “no, baby, i’m just gonna go to bed.” mingi sighs and gets up from the couch wrapping his arms around your waist gently and nuzzling into your neck. “hey, ___?” you bring a hand up to his hair. “...yeah?” “i’m sorry. for all this. for ruining your night, for ruining your mood. this, this is my fault. should’ve shut that guy down before he even had the chance to go that far.” you immediately shake your head. “don’t apologize. none of this is your fault. i’ll be in a better mood in the morning, i’m sure.” mingi kisses your shoulder, and then looks up at you with big boba eyes. “i can take you shopping tomorrow, princess. d’you think that’ll cheer you up?” you smile as you look up at him - i mean, who wouldn’t. “you don’t gotta do that, babes.” he nods. “i know. i still want to though. just to make you feel better, yes?” you laugh, reaching up to hold mingi’s fluffy cheeks. “yes, of course.” you can’t help but stare into each other’s eyes, and mingi swears he falls for you again, looking into your eyes like that. “alright,” mingi says with a breath. “let’s get to bed, hm?”

the two of you are laying together in bed, you’re scrolling on your phone whilst mingi is cuddled against your side, eyes closed and breathing slow. you weren’t paying much attention to him, fully engrossed in your phone. pinterest, tiktok, youtube, maybe a video game here and there.

though mingi told you not to have too much screen time before bed, you really couldn’t help yourself. i mean, come on, that amazon cart wasn’t going to fill itself, now was it?

you would’ve believed that mingi had already fallen asleep, with the way he was steadily breathing as he squeezed the air out of you if you didn’t hear him muttering;

“my baby…”

omg so many thoughts and hc’s for togame jo

a mix of both sfw + nsfw

- he’d absolutely love the thrill of a chase. predator/prey sorta thing. he could catch you EASY but enjoys the naivety of you believing you could outrun him

- enjoys sensory play a lot. we’re talking him tying you to his bed, blinding folding you and using ice cubes or his tongue to run down your body

- doesn’t like to rush his time at all. would take his sweet, sweet time with you

- loves to get you riled up through the nastiest words in your ear. often through whispers in that sexy slow drawl of his

- makes you sit in his lap, no matter what. one arm wrapped around your waist, the other on the back of the seat

- likes to run his hand through your hair. also enjoys you running your hands through his, lets you play with it and braid it for him

- possessive. laid back but you know he’s always watching what you’re doing and where you are. you can feel the intensity of his stare from across the room

- watches your reactions closely to everything he says and does

- dude likes to smell you idk why (he’d defo bury his face in your neck). likes to take small bites

[ave-aria]

...And I'll give you three guesses who gave it to him. ;)

[ryllen]

Please read this by putting it through google translate image translation feature on phone and cry with me,

or i can summarize it to you

"Why does human help the weak?" [ You just do it automatically, don't u think? ] - Kalim [ I was taught to do so. ] - Deuce [ Helping others is a beautiful thing. ] - Rook [ It's a natural for the strong to help the weak. ] - Riddle

[ It's just human's instinct of wanting to survive together, is it not? ] - Trey Jade finds it weird, because in the sea, no thought will be given to the weak. The strongest will survive. Call it an ego on land if you want, but that is how it has always been in that big pool of deep never ending water.

Jade is a mermaid type who is rather sensitive when turned into human. Walking with legs feel like walking on knives for him. To counter that problem, he always had his transforming potion mixed with a lot amount of pain killers.

One time he started to feel pain on his feet, he refused to be helped as he is fixated of being a strong creature & not wanting to be positioned as something weak. When he finally let trey helped him, he kept asking if there's any compensation he had to pay for having Trey helped him. "It is just pure kindness for underclassman", Trey said. Having it not sitting right on him, Jade told Trey his secret about his human legs' sensitivity problem as a form of payment. "That's too much information for that price." "Such critical thing! I never tell anyone that information as it would endanger my life!" "So.., are you telling me because you trust me?"

"No. I am telling you because I want (to keep receiving) that pure goodwill from you, my senior."

"That's an unnatural & greedy remark from a benevolent Octavinelle's student. Such a bad boy, Jade." Trey touched Jade's face in soft scolding manner & it made the mermaid quietly flustered with feeling he never knew he could felt before. Finding Trey's affection dear to him, at some other time later, he pretended that his feet hurts. And he lied about not bringing any pain killers with him. Trey who was wary about lying Jade, used his magic to overwrite the pain on Jade's feet, so he could walk by himself. But Jade sulked. Because, rly, he just wants to be carried by Trey again. Sensing this, Trey gave in, and carried Jade on his back, pleasing him.

Previously seeing Trey danced with Cater & Rook at other events, Jade invited Trey to go to an abandoned castle. He asked him to dance with him.

"I want to look good in front of you. But I'm not good at dancing," Trey said.

"Good." Jade replied with a smile, happy with his awkwardness. "I am not familiar with human's dance either."

They started to dance. And flirted a little. "Your eye is like olive." (Typical TREY) And when they were about to kiss, 3 overblot ghosts broke in.

"'ll take responsibility" Jade said, instantly feeling responsible as he was the one who brought them there. He managed to defeat one of the ghost. But in the middle of battle, the usual pain started to seep in to Jade's feet. For real, this time. His legs gave out.

With 2 overblot ghosts left still, Trey put himself into the middle of the fight. "I don't have enough magic to both overwrite your pain & defeat these overblot ghosts at the same time. So, run away while I try to hold them back."

Jade started to think how unacceptable it is that he is protected by someone who is supposed to be weaker than him. He should have been the one protecting Trey as mermaid is a stronger being, however he is nothing but a hindrance right now. Trey would even win the fight if it was not because of him.

So Jade found a way. He made noise to get the overblot attention's. He directed them to him so he could take them out by letting the chandelier fall over all of them together, including him. He was so ready to be crushed & took all those responsibility with him.

But, of course, Trey can't have that! Trey saved Jade at the last minute. He pushed Jade away, so the chandelier missed him. But in consequence, Trey had his legs broken as they were the ones that got crushed by the chandelier, instead -- together with the remaining overblot ghosts.

Jade who still didn't realize the situation, said "... Oh. That's too unreasonable to suddenly jump in, under the chandelier and come..." "I can't help it."

Jade slowly turned his head.

"It's too easy to want to help the person you love." "...So let me help you out." The horror of the current situation finally creeped to Jade's face.

"T-TREY-SAN! TREY-SAN!!!!!!!"

[ What do i do now?? What do i do??? ]

"Go, return by yourself even without me..."

Jade started to think of all his options. Phone? out of range. Magic? Out of the question, he just realized that his magic gem is now broken. The only mirror to come back to the school was at the foot of the mountain, while the castle they were in was at the very top of it.

[ Carry this person on your back. ] The voice in his head said...

"Carry this person on my back--?" he turned his head, and suddenly imagined the path of 'knives' he had to step on to go back. Not alone even.., but together with this person. ...The additional weight surely would pressed his feet harder to the ground, causing even more pain.

Trembling from the thought of the pain, Jade thought... "This is bad..., I only have one more painkiller...."

He took out that single pain killer in his pocket, and put into his mouth, seemingly ready and prepared to walk; at least a few steps back without pain. But no, he refused to do so. Trey is wounded. He must experience pain too right now. Lips-to-lips, he gave the wounded Trey the painkiller & let him swallow it.

"I'll help you now..." Jade said, repaying on Trey's deed & now walking back without painkiller, with his dear senior on his back.

His feet hurts. So badly that he started to bit his lips & let them bleed. The sudden thought of wild animals attacking them in this situation, made him shuddered.

Near them, he spotted a good running river.

...

[ I can just abandoned this person... and jump into the river. ...With that I can easily reach the foot of the mountain. ... With that, I can become a strong creature again, not the helpless one like what I am right now. ]

...

For a second Jade lost in thought of abandoning the weak like what the sea always taught him to do. But then, reminiscing how Trey carried him at that crucial time when he needed him to, he said to himself...

"No. That doesn't matter... "

"Because right now ..., I am helping him out of pure love."

And so, he kept enduring, until Idia who wandered at night to get his late night snack from the school's vending machine, found them who successfully came back, fainted at the hallway.

--

Time passed.

--

...

"Jade refuses to walk for awhile now." Floyd said, guiding Trey further inside to the longue. It might be because that event; so traumatic & painful, that Jade just wanted to forget entirely about walking all together. Or maybe it was out of guilt, for him being the reason that Trey had to be confined in the hospital room to recover & not being able to go anywhere. That's why, Jade isolated himself in the glass wall as a way to punish himself & share the same feeling with Trey.

"Sorry for the trouble." Trey replied, pushing his wheelchair with his hands.

"It's okay. It's Jade's own fault." Floyd replied, nonchalantly. Just like he always been. Oddly comforting, at the current situation. "Jade, sea turtle is here~~"

There he is. Jade, swimming in his mermaid form. Their eyes met. Seeing Trey sitting on a wheel chair, his eyes, glistened.

--

"So will your legs heal?" Jade was still in his mermaid form. He perched on surface of the longue's glass wall he was in, to talk to Trey.

"Yes."

"It's not just the bone fractures, right? It's also the ability to walk, right?"

"Of course."

...

Jade was relief. But he was still burdened with other feelings from the incident.

" --- IF I NEVER MET you, after graduating, I would have returned to the sea and keep being a strong creature forever....." "I am so scared and feeling so pathetic......."

...

Trey reminiscing the moment Jade carried him on his back, while enduring the tremendous pain on his feet, said, "You are...? At that time though, you looked like the strongest person in the world to me..." He patted Jade's head, consoling him.

Jade was relieved once again. " ... Trey-san ... " But it seems that this mermaid still has something in his mind...

"...When you risked your life, and let yourself be crushed under the chandelier..., was it all just because of the natural instinct inhabits in your body, OR-"

He didn't finish his question, and yet Trey answered. "It's because, I like you."

...

Jade proceeded to come out of the water, having his tail transformed to legs, once again after a long while. He approached Trey who sat there still with his immobilized legs.

"...I never thought I would ever need my legs again... He gazed Trey in the eyes. "But it is necessary...." "...There are a lot of things I want to do with you, with these legs..."

"...Many..."

And they both shared a kiss, which became the start of everything else.

Were you one of the people who used to watch Illuminaughtii before Hbomberguy dropped his plagirism video?

Do you like anti-mlm (multi-level marketing) videos and someone having common sense about the ridiculousness of "influencer culture"?

Are you curious about a huge (200+ video) collection of background noise videos about various topics, including scam artists, consumer protection, and the dangerous nature of social media oversharing?

I HAVE A YOUTUBER RECOMMENDATION FOR YOU!

(I feel the need to say but this is not sponsored and I haven't contacted this youtuber about any promotion, this is just a personal recommendation I want to share)

Her name is (Hannah Alonzo) and she uploads weekly, and is what I could describe as "Illuminaughtii but actually good and not plagirizing," meaning she is about a milion times more interesting because she actually knows what she's talking about and has interesting opinions and thoughts to share.

Her topics mainly specialize in exposing multilevel marketing schemes as predatory and harmful. She's also touched on influencer culture and how that's affected the people involved and other subjects including the stuff I mentioned earlier!

If you're not sure where to start, here are some of my video recommendations:

(This) video where she breaks down how multi level marketing scams work, some common vocabulary they use, and how to avoid them. Even if you're not into this kind of videos, I'd still recommend this just to learn how to protect yourself from losing money.

(More than 200 videos) in a playlist about anti-mlm topics! These aren't even all the mlm videos she's made, you can find over 200 more in various (playlists) on her channel. This is her bread and butter and she's good at it.

In terms of playlists, I need to highlight (this collection) of deep dives into known multilevel marketing schemes, which range from just over 20 minutes to more than four times as long.

(Her "Influencer Insanity" series) which draws attention to harmful overconsumption, ragebait, invasions of privacy, and more. My personal favorite from this series is her showing how (influencers lie about their "lifestyle" in videos) and how easily it's disproven.

Her most recent video, as of the time I'm putting this post together, is a sequel to (this part 1 video, a nearly 1.5 hour long dissection on how a huge mlm is crashing down) and it's fantastic. The (1hr 15min sequel) is just an extremely thorough and well-researched and is just a wonderful way to show how the inner workings of mlm schemes are structered to be inherently harmful to the people involved.

(This) video also shows how harmful mlms are to the people recruited and how disposable they are, which is tragic

Of course, her (video of her cats interrupting her filming)!

I think that if you're into the Hbomberguy and other video essay-type videos, you should definitely give her a chance :)

Anyone an IT person and can tell me how to get my 2004 Dell monitor to recognize its being used as a second monitor T-T

It's plugged in, I know it's recognizing the video input, but I cannot get it to leave power save mode because it can't recognize my mouse and keyboard for me to click and "wake it up". I even tried plugging the mouse and keyboard into it, but it's working as a giant USB extension and all the input still goes to my main monitor.

[romy-bardot]

My bare feet sink into the sand as I race through it, my chest heaving while my body begs for more oxygen. It’s so hard to run through the soft earth but I don’t stop; I can’t stop. Turning off the beach, I head into the woods, feeling branches and dried palm leaves crack under my speed. The tropical plants caress my body that’s exposed to the elements, as I’m only dressed in a tiny bikini.

After a few minutes, my legs and lungs burn to a limit that forces me to rest. I find a bush large enough to fall into; using its branches to hide my body. Unfortunately, it can’t quiet my heavy breathing - all I can do is try to control it.

My eyes close against the sun peaking through the trees when I hear a branch crack to my right. My hand flies to my mouth in a desperate attempt to hide the way I’m still heaving with exhaustion. Terror fills me, giving my body the rush of adrenaline it needs. I stand slowly, attempting to be as quiet as possible, before I take off running once again.

I don’t make it far. My hair is fisted, forcing my body back as my scream causes the seagulls above us to flutter away. 

“Did you actually think you’d get away from me, Little Bird?” His voice is dark and close to my ear as he forces me back against him, my breathing erratic and my scalp burning from his grip. “You thought you could win our little game?”

“Yes.” I admit in a small voice, causing him to pull my hair even harder. Suddenly, I’m falling towards the earth, my face landing in the dead leaves littered on the forest floor. I moan in pain at his rough shove.

“Don’t you know better by now?” He demands, his hands now caressing my ass before tossing me over onto my back; as if I weigh nothing. Leaning down, his harsh features become clearer through my tears. His eyes are deadly, his jaw is set, and I feel myself throb in anticipation. “I own you.”

Forcing my bikini bottoms off, he’s inside of me without much resistance from my body. I’ve been desperate for this all day. He grabs my wrists and pins them above my head as he pushes into me over and over again, making sure it hurts. 

“Who do you belong to?” He demands through pants, his blood thirsty eyes watching me with hunger.

“You!” I whimper in response, my body coming undone. I feel alive from the fear; from the chase. He gives me something nobody else can. “Yours.”
