here, beside you (snippets!) — bakugo k.

bodyguard bakugo k. x rich fem!reader

original fic: here, beside you

notes: I think you can read this even without seeing the original fic. These were just some dialogue ideas I had when I was experimenting which timeline to write and can honestly just be stand alone scenes of these two idiots. This includes the two weeks where Bakugo was guarding yn and after the one year time-skip thingy.

Yn huffed, struggling with the stubborn window. “Ugh, this thing won’t budge.”

Bakugo watched her battle with it for a whole ten seconds before letting out an exasperated sigh. “Move.”

She stepped aside with exaggerated flair. “Oh no, whatever shall I do without the great Bakugo—”

He yanked the window open effortlessly, then shot her a flat look. “You done?”

She stared. “... I loosened it.”

His deadpan expression didn’t waver. “Yeah. Sure you did."

Bakugo stood in the doorway, arms crossed, already regretting giving her the time of day. “What the hell are you on about now?”

Yn turned to him, grinning. “What do you think is stronger? Your explosions or a nuclear bomb?”

He blinked, then shot her a glare. “Are you an idiot? A nuke wipes out entire cities, dumbass.”

She tapped her chin in thought. “Yeah, but yours are way cooler. More... refined, y’know?”

His scowl deepened, though he glanced away. “Hah? You tryna butter me up or somethin’?”

Yn’s smirk grew. “Is it working?”

Bakugo scoffed, but the corner of his mouth twitched. “Hell no.”

Lying on the floor, yn stared at the ceiling. “I’m bored.” 

Bakugo sat on the couch, scrolling through his phone. “So?” 

“Entertain me.” 

He shot her an incredulous look. “What the hell do I look like? A damn TV?” 

“No, but you’re here and I’m suffering.” 

Bakugo sighed dramatically, leaning back. “Tch. Not my problem.”

Yn huffed, rolling onto her side to face him. “You’re no fun.”

Bakugo didn’t even glance up. “Not my job to be fun.”

She pouted. “Then what is your job?”

He finally looked at her, deadpan. “Blowing shit up.”

Yn snorted. “Wow. So inspiring.”

Bakugo smirked. “Damn right.”

She sighed dramatically, flopping onto her back. “Still bored.”

Rolling his eyes, he tossed a pillow at her face. “Deal with it.”

“You—” Fwump.

Arms crossed, yn smirked. “Bet you can’t sneak past all those guards without getting caught.”

Bakugo eyed him suspiciously. “You challengin’ me?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know. You talk a lot, but I haven’t seen you do much.”

His eyes narrowed. “You’re trying to get me in trouble.”

Her smirk widened. “Yeah? You scared?”

“You are the worst influence,” he muttered.

Grinning, she tilted her head. “And yet, you’re still thinking about it.”

Yn groaned, forehead pressed against her open textbook. “Why am I even studying this? I already know all of it.”

Bakugo, sitting across from her, barely looked up from his own notes. “Then why the hell are you whining?”

She lifted her head to glare at him. “Because it’s tedious. Do you know how insulting it is to be forced to memorize things I’ve already mastered?”

He smirked. “Cry about it.”

She sighed dramatically. “Maybe I’d suffer less if someone brought me snacks.”

Bakugo tossed a protein bar at her face.

“Wow. So romantic.”

“Shut up and eat.”

Bakugo watched as yn struggled to balance her textbooks, her bag, and a tray of food all at once.

“Tch. Bet you drop something in the next ten seconds.”

Yn shot him a glare, expertly shifting her grip. “You underestimate me, Bakugo-san.”

The moment she took a step forward, a pencil case slipped from the stack.

Bakugo smirked. “Called it.”

Yn sighed, bending down to pick it up. “Yeah, yeah. Gloat all you want. But if I make it to the table without dropping anything else, you buy me lunch tomorrow.”

His smirk faltered. “The hell? That wasn’t part of the deal—”

“Oh? Are you scared?” she teased.

Bakugo clicked his tongue, shoving his hands in his pockets. “Fine. But you’re paying if you lose.”

Challenge accepted.

Yn absentmindedly grabbed Bakugo’s wrist, stopping him mid-rant. “Hold still.”

He blinked as she traced her fingers lightly over a cut on his arm. A warm glow spread from her fingertips as the wound sealed up.

“Seriously, you’re worse than Deku-san when it comes to reckless training injuries,” she muttered.

Bakugo huffed, looking away. “Tch. It’s not that bad.”

She let go, patting his arm. “There. Try not to break yourself again for at least a week, yeah?”

He grumbled something under his breath, rubbing his wrist where she’d touched him. “No promises.”

Yn grinned as she took a bite of her ice cream, eyes gleaming with mischief. “So… what’s your weakness?”

Bakugo scoffed. “The hell kind of question is that?”

“I mean, everyone’s got one.” She tapped her chin. “Mine’s probably caffeine withdrawal. Or cute guys who scowl a lot.”

He shot her a glare. “That better not be about me.”

She smiled innocently. “Who said it was?”

“Tch.” He looked away, stuffing his hands in his pockets. “Dumb questions. I don’t have a weakness.”

Yn hummed. “Oh really?”

Before he could react, she reached up and flicked the edge of his ear.

Bakugo flinched.

Her grin widened. “Oh. Oh.”

“Don’t,” he warned.

But it was too late. She had discovered gold.

Yn dozed off in class, arms folded on her desk. Aizawa, completely unfazed, walked past her and didn’t wake her up.

Bakugo frowned. “Oi, why aren’t you waking her?”

Aizawa sighed. “Because she already submitted the advanced version of today’s lesson last week—with corrections.”

Bakugo turned to look at her, unimpressed.

Yn, eyes still closed, smirked. “Jealous?”

“Tch.” He kicked the leg of her desk lightly. “Don’t get cocky.”

“Okay, so… you can solve quantum physics equations in your sleep, but you don’t know how to cook rice?”

Yn stared blankly at the rice cooker. “I never needed to learn. I had chefs.”

Bakugo pinched the bridge of his nose. “You could build a rocket ship, but you’d starve in your own kitchen.”

She crossed her arms. “Not true. I can survive off of coffee.”

He groaned. “You are actually hopeless.”

She smirked. “But you think it’s cute.”

“No.”

Yn leaned over Bakugo’s desk, eyes bright. “Did you know that nitroglycerin, the main component of your sweat, was originally discovered by an Italian chemist in the 1800s? They used it for mining before it became weaponized.”

Bakugo stared at her, torn between annoyance and… something else. “And?”

“And it’s fascinating.” She grinned. “Your body literally produces one of the most volatile compounds known to man. You’re like a walking science experiment!”

His eye twitched. “I better not hear you call me that again.”

Yn tapped her chin. “Walking disaster?”

“Worse.”

“Explosive nerd?”

He glared. “I will end you.”

She only laughed.

Bakugo scowled as yn scribbled in her notebook, completely ignoring him.

“What’s so damn interesting?”

She barely glanced up. “Research.”

“On what?”

“Explosion quirks.”

His eye twitched. “Are you studying me?”

She grinned. “I’m documenting your patterns for scientific purposes.”

“… That sounds fake.”

She shrugged. “Maybe I just like looking at you.”

Bakugo choked on air. “The hell is wrong with you?”

She laughed. “You’re cute when you panic.”

His entire face turned red. “I—TCH—SHUT UP.”

Yn was shivering, arms wrapped around herself as they walked back to the dorms.

Bakugo sighed, pulling off his jacket and shoving it at her. “Wear it.”

She blinked. “What if I say no?”

“I’ll force it on you.”

She smirked, slipping it on. “You’re awfully sweet when you’re bossy.”

“Tch.”

She lifted the sleeve to her nose, inhaling dramatically. “Wow, it even smells like—”

“Say one more word and I’m taking it back.”

She giggled. “Fine, fine. Thanks, Bakugo-san.”

He grumbled. “Whatever.”

Yn stood under the doorway, arms crossed. “So. Mistletoe.”

Bakugo glanced up, then narrowed his eyes. “Tch. You planned this.”

She shrugged innocently. “Who, me?”

He scoffed. “Not happening.”

She pouted. “Aww, not even a little holiday spirit?”

“No.”

She sighed dramatically. “Guess I’ll just go kiss Kaminari then—”

Bakugo grabbed her wrist, scowling. “Like hell you will.”

She grinned. “Thought so.”

He grumbled. “You’re the worst.”

He leaned in, about to kiss her forehead before headbutting her instead.

“There’s your holiday spirit.”

Yn casually dropped a heart-shaped box onto Bakugo’s desk. “Happy Valentine’s.”

He eyed it warily. “The hell is this?”

“Handmade chocolates. Don’t worry, they’re scientifically perfect.”

He opened the box, seeing neatly arranged chocolates—each labeled with things like EXPLOSION BOOST and ANGER MANAGEMENT (PROBABLY).

His eye twitched. “You seriously made quirk-enhancing chocolates?”

She grinned. “You love them.”

He popped one in his mouth, grumbling. “…They’re not bad.”

She smirked. “You mean delicious?”

“Tch. Shut up.”

Bakugo opened his door and immediately shut it again.

Yn knocked again. “You’re not avoiding this.”

He groaned. “Tell me you didn’t rent out an entire arcade for my birthday.”

“… Okay, I won’t tell you.”

“Yn.”

She giggled. “C’mon, it’s your day! We have the whole place to ourselves!”

He sighed. “You’re ridiculous.”

Bakugo had zero reason to be mad.

So what if Kaminari was sitting too close to yn? So what if she laughed at something dumb he said?

Didn’t matter. It didn’t.

And yet, the next thing Kaminari knew, a perfectly aimed explosion went off inches from his feet.

“W-What the hell, dude?!” Kaminari yelped.

Bakugo shrugged, walking past. “Tch. Thought I saw a bug.”

Yn sighed as she wrapped Bakugo’s hand in fresh bandages. “You need to stop breaking yourself every other day.”

He grumbled. “Not my fault villains are weak.”

She raised an eyebrow. “That literally makes no sense.”

“Tch. Whatever.”

She finished tying the bandage, then, with a grin, brought his hand to her lips and pressed a soft kiss against his knuckles.

Bakugo froze.

He yanked his hand back, ears burning. “The hell was that?!”

She cleared her throat. “Well, I read somewhere that positive reinforcement speeds up healing—”

“THAT’S BULLSHIT.”

“… So do you not want me to do it again?”

“… I didn’t say that.”

Bakugo didn’t do birthday parties.

Hell, he barely remembered his own birthday half the time.

But this wasn’t just anyone’s birthday. It was yn’s. And after weeks of her not-so-subtly reminding everyone—

“Ugh, can you believe my birthday’s coming up soon? Crazy, right?”

“Man, I wonder what kind of surprises are in store for me on my birthday~”

“I mean, it’s not like I expect anything big… but I would cry if nothing happened.”

—he got the damn hint.

So, fine. He was doing something about it.

The problem was, the rest of their classmates were absolute idiots.

“You planned a party?” Kirishima blinked, stunned. “Like… on purpose?”

“Shut up, Shitty Hair. You in or not?”

“Oh, I’m so in.”

Thus, the operation began.

Step 1: Keep yn Distracted

Easier said than done. She was annoyingly observant.

So, Kaminari was given the task of keeping her occupied while the others set up in the dorm lounge. It mostly involved loud, overcomplicated debates.

“Yn, if you could only pick one—unlimited knowledge or Bakugo’s eternal love, what would you choose?”

“Obviously Bakugo’s eternal—wait, why are you asking?”

“No reason!” Kaminari grinned, sweating.

Step 2: Decorations

Mina took over this part, much to Bakugo’s reluctant approval. She added fairy lights, streamers, and a banner that read “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIMP” in sparkly letters.

Bakugo nearly ripped it down.

Mina fought him off. “She’ll love it!”

“… Tch.” He let it stay.

Step 3: The Cake Situation

Sato obviously. But Sero and Kirishima also attempted cupcakes, which ended in small-scale disaster.

The kitchen smelled slightly burnt. They covered it with air freshener.

Close enough.

Step 4: The Surprise

Finally, when everything was set, Bakugo begrudgingly went to retrieve yn.

He found her on the dorm rooftop, arms crossed.

“… You forgot, didn’t you?” she deadpanned.

Bakugo scoffed. “Tch. Like I’d ever forget something that important.”

Her eyes widened slightly. “Wait. Are you—”

“Shut up and follow me.”

And when they reached the common room…

“SURPRISE!”

Confetti popped. Music blasted. And yn, for once, was speechless.

She turned to Bakugo, still processing. “… You did this?”

He rolled his eyes. “No, it just magically appeared, dumbass.”

Her grin was blinding. “You do love me.”

His ears burned. “I—Shut up.”

She laughed, throwing her arms around him. And despite all the teasing, all the effort—

It was worth it.

‪‪❤︎‬ AU SANSES HAVING A CRUSH ON YOU ‪❤︎‬

(Classic, Swap, Fell)

CLASSIC:

He would probably push his feelings aside, thinking that it's just some fling of his, until he started to care very deeply for you. Like, highly worried for your well-being. Which was an instant sign for him that this isn't just some fling.

He would play it off cool when the realization hits him though. You wouldn't find out until he would confess to you. He would be acting like he has zero feelings for you, but the moment you turn around...he blushes like crazy and tries to calm himself down. It's really silly from anyone else's perspective though.

He gets really excited whenever anyone mentions your name, it's gotten to the point where he looks like a fanboy of you.

He sometimes rants about you to Grillby. He can go on for hours, talking about you. Grillby's getting real tired of this, he once kicked him out for ranting for so long.

You're sometimes confused about his emotions towards you, he's giving such mixed signals... You asked him about this one time, but all he said, was; "Sorry, gotta get to Grillby's!" And disappears very quickly.

In conclusion, Sans is absolutely enthralled by you, but doesn't let it show.

SWAP:

He's very much aware of his feelings towards you since the start, but values your friendship too much to ruin it.

Since he's the future royal guard, he thinks he wouldn't have time for you if you got together. He's also fully convinced that his feelings are one-sided... :(

After he joined the star sanses, he was even more busy and didn't have as much time for you anymore. He missed you even more because of this outcome.

Don't get it twisted, he was happy to be helping so many people! But he felt so un-happy inside...sure, he was smiling at everyone, being a people-pleaser, but these smiles were very much fake.. he didn't see the purpose of smiling if you weren't the one he's smiling at..

He also felt so guilty that he couldn't tell you about his job as a star sans, feeling awful for lying to you...but one day...it accidentally slipped from his mouth... After your long persuadation, he finally caved in and explained everything to you in great detail, feeling relieved that he finally told you.

In short, Swap loves you, but thinks you don't feel the same way... Give him a hug! >:(

FELL:

When Fell realizes he's got a crush on you, the first thing he does is run away from you. Which was really funny to suddenly see his pupils widen and then him immediately running away.

He feels so weak for that. He believes he could've handled the situation better..oh well.

After that day, Fell was way more nervous around you than normally. He also sweated a ton more...which was kinda... disgusting.

Everyone thinks that Fell would immediately flirt with you, but... When Fell first met you, he would flirt with you just for the fun of it, but after he realizes his feelings towards you...he gets, strangely, shy..? It's actually really cute...from your side. Fell feels weak acting like this. He hates it.

You make him so shy just by your presence that the player sometimes takes advantage of that, to distract him. Just mentioning your name is enough to make his skull flash red.

He literally turned from bad boy persona to simp.

His brother thinks he should already confess to you so he can get rid of his feelings. In his opinion, it makes him weak. Even more weaker than before.

He loves you really, but he just can't admit it.

ateez nsfw links 🫧

Park Seonghwa

Park Seonghwa loves to go live and entertain his fans. All those legos, food, talk and more have you sighing of boredom in his hotel room. You are sitting on Hongjoong’s bed, behind Seonghwa’s screen, in a not so innocent position. You make him stutter in front of the camera, and you laugh every time he has to stop talking for a moment. When you stretch your body and crack your back in a doggy position, he is in a hurry to end his live and join you on that bed.

“I could turn that live back on just like that, with the camera facing you.”

Kim Hongjoong

Kim Hongjoong doesn’t necessarily require much attention. He is very much satisfied with you squirming under him. You are tipsy in the passenger seat, teasing Hongjoong about the couple you saw fucking in the club toilet and how it turned you on. He listens to you rant about how fast he fingered her and how loud she was moaning over the music. At some point, you even say you wish you could cum so many times in a row. And so while you beg him to stop, but don’t shout the safe word yet, he is completely focused in the way his knuckles disappear inside of you, his knees holding your legs apart and tongue on your clit.

“How many more until I prove my point?”

Jeong Yunho

Jeong Yunho looked absolutely dashing at today’s stage, and you’re sick and tired of scrolling through all the husband Yunho tweets from fans. You are jealous that they got to see him in that shirt and that hair before you. You’ve gotten all dolled up, waiting for him to arrive, but in the meantime, you’ve seen quite a few edits from today that made you pissed off again. So when he comes back home and realises why you’re running from his affection, he has to take the matter in his own hands and show you that only you get to feel the shirt on him.

“Jealous of your husband’s fans, when you’re such a pretty wife?”

Kang Yeosang

Kang Yeosang wants to make your first time absolutely perfect. He takes his time making out with you, feeling your body up, gently rubbing your most sensitive spots, until you are dripping through your panties and staining his trousers. But when he sees that you are not quite ready, he takes a different approach, one that is pleasurable for both of you.

“You’re so good for me.”

Choi San

Choi San is a gamer, and sometimes it pisses you off that he spends so much time sitting at the computer. You confront him, not realising that he hasn’t disconnected from Discord yet. He bites the inside of his cheek, containing his amusement mixed with anger as you go off and his friends laugh through the headphones. Once you’re finished, he mutes himself, throwing the headphones aside and pushing you over the desk. At some point, he unmutes himself, just to show his friends that you’re good at yelling about other things too.

“Yell at me some more, I didn’t quite get it the first time.”

Song Mingi

Song Mingi enjoys all the freebies you get as an influencer. From free snacks, free movie tickets, to perfumes, and lingerie he gets to see on you and rip off you. However, todays package was different. They were temporary long lasting tattoos, and he remembers you telling him how attractive you think they are. He witnessed you complimenting Wooyoung and Hongjoong, but he wasn’t quite yet willing to get one himself. So when he got permission from you to open the package while you aren’t home, he prepared a little surprise that had you gasping when you arrived home. Needless to say, he was enjoying the attention you were giving him.

“All the way down, like a good girl.”

Jung Wooyoung

Jung Wooyoung is happy his partner has finally debuted. He is also aware of the mature concept the company has decided to give you. You didn’t show him any songs or outfits until the album and MV came out. But before that, you performed it in front of fans on the show he’s been on countless times. He wasn’t quite prepared for that mature. Stockings, a leather dress, platform boots, and dark smeared lipstick, along with the upbeat song and dance moves, almost gave him a heart attack while standing aside and watching live. And yet you wonder how you ended up with the fishnet gloves in your mouth back in his hotel room, his hands firm on your waist.

“Fuck noona, giving me a VIP show? Think I deserve it? That I’m your biggest most loyal fan?”

Choi Jongho

Choi Jongho gives his all when he performs. How funny that a video of just him sitting during Cyberpunk went viral. Now, whenever he sits, you get horny. Especially with that focused, half angry look on his face. You haven’t said anything yet, but when he comes home from practice and plops down on the couch, throwing his head over the backrest of it, you lose it. You get on his lap, unable to control yourself. He is confused, but doesn’t complain. Neither do you when he plunges his cock into you, looking into your eyes with the same stare as in the video.

“I’ll take good care of you.”

I keep seeing this Loveball being mentioned in regards to fresh, but I wasn't in the fandom back then and I don't know what the fuck Loveball is and how it created fresh's character? Asking you abt it bcus you seem knowledgeable abt fresh lol

I'll have you know that when I saw this ask I cackled and rubbed my hands together evilly, completely unironically.

Unfortunately I've already rambled about this before, so I'll copy and paste the rant here rather than ranting anew:

So, like seven years ago there was a fandom-wide event called the Loveball, where people gathered their OCs and had them all attend an UTMV dancing ball. Fresh went, of course. There, he met a Frisk called Pacifrisk. Even knowing who he really was [90's parasite], they still believed he could be good. Before this, he hadn't ever really felt a connection to anyone, or even positive emotions in general. But Pacifrisk's faith in him made him feel positively towards them. This freaked him out. [No Fr@ns though, don't worry. That wasn't the intention for this plot.]

As a result, not only did he try to kill them, but he also went through with his plans: the Fresh Takeover [I forget what it's actually called]. His true reason for attending the ball. OCs were either possessed by the parasites or tried to fight against them. Apparently, some people used alcohol to ward the virus off, as Fresh hates substances such as that.

Fresh wanted to take over the multiverse, with this Loveball being the first step for his total domination.

But then right in the middle of things, a Sans AU [which I totally forget the name of X,D] grabbed Fresh and basically yeeted him into an alternate state of being. One where he could see the creators, all staring at him. An audience.

The Sans revealed the nature of Fresh's existence: That he was simply a character in a story. And if the creators got bored of him, he could easily be written aside and forgotten. Erased. His conquest didn't matter, in the end.

Predictably, this gave him an existential crisis. I'm not sure what happened after, but he stopped invading and went somewhere to contemplate his existence in a depressed state.

Afterwards, he had a new goal: To entertain. To convince the creators that he was worth keeping around. Similar to his previous goal of survival, but now with more dire stakes."

Here are some links regarding the Loveball. I recommend checking them out if you want more info about it, because I didn't really talk about it very deeply here:

https://loverofpiggies.tumblr.com/tagged/loveball/chrono

Hope this clears things up! :D

Edit: Oh, and Fresh wasn't created during the Loveball. He was originally an April Fool's shitpost doodle that CQ made, inspired by Dippy Fresh from Gravity Falls. Eventually he developed into the horrifying 90's abomination that we know today.

OKAY THE SKELETON BROTHERS.

I really really love them, with all my heart so I kinda just wanted to Yap about them and kinda how I view their relationship using theories, clues from the game, etc!!

So we know that Sans is papyrus' big brother, as in the Japanese version of the game, Papyrus calls sans 'Onii-Chan' (big brother) and we also know that sans calls papyrus his little brother in deltarune

They also come from another world, (as we know with clues from Sans, such as in the dinner with him in MTT resort where he says that 'I know the feeling buddy' when he talks about frisk having to leave the underground. I like to interpret that they came from deltarune! (This is also backed by clues, and is a popular theory but right now I'm too lazy to provide said clues.)

Papyrus also doesn't really have any memory of their old world?? He recalls remembering 'grass', before I'm pretty sure sans cuts him off (This was in a newsletter, or at least some form of offical toby content)

There's nothing said about any other family, asides from Gaster (possibly?? Lots of people say 'oh but how do we know that' and like gaster speaks In a font, who else does that? Sans and papyrus!, I'm also pretty sure they're related cause pretty much any similar monster shown in game is related: The dreemurrs, the rabbits, snowdrake and chill drake, the only real exceptions are the dogs, and frisk and chara) and Grandpa semi, a scrapped character that was originally going to be the grandfather of sans and papyrus

Anyway, onto the brothers themselves!! It's implied that Sana raised papyrus (such as in the newsletter thing where papyrus asks sans if he would cut his apples for him if he were his mother) and also it's just a pretty popular headcanon.

ANYWAY, moving on from implied backstory stuff, those two care for each other SO DEEPLY. They may argue, yes, they may get frustrated with each other occasionally, also yes, but they care for each other a stupid amount!! Sans (through multiple points throughout the game) talks about how cool is brother is, he's not sarcastic or anything at all, he seems the most genuine to us whenever he is talking about his brother! He helps him achieve his dream, they are quite literally each other's worlds

Papyrus isn't an idiot, he's aware of the stuff his brothers done to help him, and he is also most likely aware of his brothers depression and is shown to care for him and help him out. He cooks for him (even if his cooking isn't the best) he helps him out.

Those two keep each other going! They're so different but also so similar, while they don't entirely know everything about each other, they still love each other and believe in each other yadda yadda

ALSO ALSO

In the Japanese version of the game, Papyrus refers to himself using a certain honorific that I believe is supposed to convey that you think your great or something?? (I read about it awhile ago and can't find the original thing so bare with me) ALLLLL throughout the game EXCEPT when you go into sans' room, cause he expects his brother there, and not the human!!

Papyrus actually believes that he can be his true self around his brother..

ANYWAY I HATTTEE when papyrus is depicted as naive oblivious idiot because he is anything but, he's intelligent and even undyne calls him strong, he's just too nice. Being nice isn't a weakness!

He chooses to believe that people can do better despite knowing that he could be proved wrong, it's his decision to believe in people, it's their decision to prove him wrong. That doesn't make him dumb!!

Anyway why did this turn from a skelebros rant into a 'why papyrus isn't an idiot' one

But yeah, they the cutest and best brothers ever!!

extra headcanons about them because they're cute:

* I like to believe they both need glasses. Papyrus has small, uneven, eyesockets with no eyelights?? There's the whole rock incident just after you first meet him! Sans just moreso needs reading glasses and it's just something that's come with age

* They were raised by their grandpa semi before he passed when papyrus was a kid, leaving sans have to raise him (Sans raising papyrus brainrot)

* Papyrus MAY be terrible at cooking but I like to say that he's really good at baking- part of the reason is cause he doesn't learn that with undyne because it's not really her thing, hence doesn't do it as often in general either

* Sans would listen to ABBA. Idk why I think this It's just silly (also probably paps)

ANYWAY YEAH

But expand on it later I just wrote this quickly before a nap from knowledge of the top of my head

More thoughts on RM: Right People, Wrong Place:

Namjoon said his role in BTS was writing lyrics and being a leader, and his focus was on the performances, interviews, etc. expected in kpop. RPWP was the first time he was able to make music from the beginning.

I knew this in an abstract way but I didn’t know how hard it would hit me when he said it like that. And it made me feel a little sad for him.

During BTS Festa 2022, Namjoon said that the group would be fine if he just did his role but he felt trapped within it and wanted to shed it for a little bit and think about what he wanted to do. But the world wouldn’t let him so he kept putting it off.

RPWP was serendipitous — it wasn’t really planned, it just happened. Namjoon was going to enlist when Hobi did but then he met San Yawn and wound up doing the album instead. He finally got a chance to think about the music and what he wanted to do with it.

I think he knew he wouldn’t be able to do this kind of album when the group reunited after military service because he’d be back to his role as leader and lyricist.

In Mini Moni Music, Jimin asked Namjoon if he’d be okay with the pressure of being in a team when they reunited in 2025 and Namjoon said no, but he felt little stronger after releasing RPWP. I think that strength came from him focusing on the internal instead of external — being real, being himself and making music from the beginning to pour out everything he felt, instead of planning performances to meet public expectations and preparing responses for interviews, especially if they were in English.

Namjoon said he wanted to focus on balance because he felt a lot of volatile emotions — up one moment, down the next, happy for an hour, sad for the next two hours, feeling like his life was a fucking mess, etc. By the way, his whole rant about his emotions? So very relatable. I loved Namjoon cursing all over the place. I felt like channeling Jimin in Mini Moni Music and yelling ‘Yes, say it! Say it!’

He also said his role as a leader of BTS helped him control those emotions. I think being a leader meant he had to put those emotions aside and be even keel to keep the group steady. Yoongi said in past interviews that being a leader had no extra benefits, just more responsibilities. While Namjoon’s role as a leader brought him a lot of pressure, it also helped him focus on balance. That’s a benefit to him.

PAPYRUS. RANT/ CHARACTER ANALISYS(KINDA) BECUASE YOU PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND HIM.

Now what if I told you papyrus is the only good person in the whole game. not characterization wise just. Morally.

A constant with the monsters you fight is that they can all kill you. even toriel can accidently kill you. papyrus cant. like at all. he can harm you, but hes the only monster in the WHOLE FUCKING GAME who cannot kill you. Or. he just WONT. he'll lower you to 1 hp. then HEAL YOU and capture you. you can skip his whole fight if you lose to him enough he'll just straight up let you go HES THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL JUST STRAIGHT UP LET YOU GO. THIS ISNT A FLEE. THIS IS A HIM GOIN. "hey, youre having trouble! you can go on by :]"

LIKE THE GOOD PERSON HE IS THE WORST CRIME HE DID IN THE ENTIRE GAME WAS LIE TO UNDYNE ABOUT LIKING FRYS. TORI ABANDONED HER KINGDOM, ASGORE IS A FUCKING COWARD, ALPHYS IS. DONT GET ME STARTED ON ALPHYS I THINK SHE SHOULDVE GOTTEN A BAD ENDING FOR WHAT SHE DID, UNDYNE IS A LYING ASSHOLE AND OVERLY VIOLENT, AND SANS WILL JUST LET YOU KILL EVERYONE BECAUSE HES TO DEPRESSED TO STEP IN AND ONLY DOES IT OUT OF OBLIGATION IF YOU KILL EVERYONE BECAUSE HES OUT OF EXCUSES NOT TO. AND PAPYRUS. LIED ABOUT WHAT YOU WHERE WEARING. AND LIKING FRYS. THOSE ARE HIS ONLY "CRIMES".

HE LETS UNDYNE STAY AT HIS HOUSE AND USE HIS CLOTHES (THOSE CLOTHES UNDYNE WEARS ON THE ALPHYS DATE ARE PAP'S BECAUSE THATS AFTER HER HOUSE BURNT DOWN). HE FORGIVES HIS BROTHER AND TAKES CARE OF HIM DISPITE KNOWING HE ISNT THE BEST PERSON EVER. HE'S KIND TO ALPHYS EVEN AFTER FINDING OUT WHAT SHE DID. HE'S SO KIND TO EVERYONE AND HE GETS NOTHING BUT PUNISHED FOR BEING A GOOD PERSON.

UNDYNE, THE FUCKING HYPOCRITE, WONT LET HIM JOIN THE GAURD BECAUSE HES TO NICE.

READER. ITS EAISER TO SPARE THE DOGS THEN PAPYRUS. HER CURRENT FORCE IS TO KIND. WEAKER THEN PAPYRUS IN EVERY WAY. YET HE DOESENT GET GIVEN A CHANCE? I'M FUCKING LOSING IT! AND HE NEVER GETS TOLD? HE NEVER GETS TOLD THAT UNDYNE WAS NEVER PLANNING TO LET HIM IN! APARENTLY IT DOESNT MATTER NOW THAT THE GAURD HAS BEEN DISBANDED. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE FOR HOW HE FEELS BESIDES SANS AND EVEN THEN SANS MAJORLY UNDERESTIMATES HIS BROTHER BECAUSE PAPYRUS IS STRONG AS FUCK!

HE HAS MORE TURNS THAN ANY OTHER MONSTER IN THE GAME, YOU CAN ONLY KILL HIM IF HE SPARES YOU BECAUSE YOU CAUGHT HIM OFF GAURD(MUCH LIKE SANS), HE CAN FLY, HE CAN CONTROL HIS ATTACKS TO THE POINT OF CHANGING THEM MID BATTLE, HE HAS BLASTERS EVEN THOUGH HE DIDNT USE THEM, HES THE ONLY MONSTER THAT HAS ENOUGH CONTROL OVER HIS ATTACKS TO LEAVE YOU AT EXSACTLY 1 HP, THE MF CAN H E A L??? AND ITS JUST GLOSSED OVER? WHAT?? OH, SOME OF HIS ATTACKS ARE UNAVAIDABLE UNLESS HE LETS YOU PASS THEM, AND FLOWEY PUTS 4 VINES AROUND HIM INSTEAD OF THE 2 EVERYONE ELSE HAS! THE MF IS SCARY STRONG AND HES BELITTLED AND TOSSED ASIDE BY EVERYONE JUST BECAUSE UNLIKE THEM, HE HAS MORALS. HES MORE HUMANE THEN MOST HUMANS. AND HE GET PUSHIED FOR IT. BY EVERYONE HE CARES ABOUT.

NOT ONLY THAT BUT HE'S RIGHT! DID YOU KNOW MOST FIRST TIME PLAYERS DONT STOP GENO ROUTS AT TORI BUT PAPYRUS? BECAUSE THEY JUST. CANT TAKE KILLING HIM. KINDNESS AND IDEA OF SPARING PEOPLE WORKS. AND ITS NEVER ADRESSED THAT HES JUST YKNOW. STRAIGHT UP CORRECT AND WOULD BE VERY POWERFUL IF GIVEN THE CHANCE.

HES STRONG ENOUGH TO BECOME KING IN THE KING PAPYRUS ENDING WHICH IS ALSO GLOSSED OVER, AND HES AWARE. THATS WHAT MOST UNDERTALE FANS MISS. HE KNOWS SANS IS LYING TO HIM AND KEEPING THINGS FROM HIM. HE KNOWS THE PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT ARE BAD PEOPLE. HE KNOWS EVERYONE IS DEAD IN THE KING PAPYRUS ENDING AND IN (KIND OF) HIS OWN WORDS HE STATES THAT HE WOULD RATHER JUST BELIVE THEY ARE ON VACATION SO THERE WOULD BE A POSABILITY OF HIM SEEING THE PEOPLE HE LOVES AGAIN. HES NOT STUPID HE KNOWS. HE JUST CANT HANDLE THE CARDS HES BEEN DELT, AND INSTEAD OF BECOMING THE HORRIBLE PERSON YOU'D EXPECT A PERSON IN THIS SITUATION WOULD BECOME,

HES. PAPYRUS.

A GENUENLY GOOD PERSON. DISPITE THE HELL AROUND HIM. OH AND BTW HE REMEBERS THE RESETS MORE VIVIDLY THEN SANS AND PEOPLE JUST DONT TALK ABOUT THAT??? UNDYNE ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE BITS AND PEICES BUT THIS ISNT ABOUT THAT FISHY FUCK! AND HES INSECURE??? LIKE? ACCORDING TO THE LEGENDS OF LOCALIZATION UNDERTALE BOOK, PAPYRUS CHANGES HIS PERSONALITY BASED ON WHO HE'S WITH. (ALSO TRUTHFULLY, YOU CANT GET A GOOD GRASP ON HIS CHARACTER IN THE GAME BECAUSE HEY WERE A CHILD, HES NOT GONNA BE FULLY HIMSELF MUCH LIKE THE OTHERS BUT THATS A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOPIC AND MAKES THINGS WAY TO COMPLICATED.) HES WILLING TO CHANGE HIMSELF TO BE MORE LIKEABLE FOR OTHERS??? NAH HES THE PERFECT PERSON WTH FUCK THIS.

Cross is one of the best skeleton characters!!! :D

But aside from Cross is there any other characters from Undertale or Undertale AUs that are also your favorite?

I think it's obvious but another one of my favorites is.. Killer <3 (He and Cross share first place in my head cause I can't decide between them. They're both amazing I can't even compare them) He's such a cool and interesting character!! He has a very memorable and concise design and recognizable details (like his tears and his soul), he's so tragic, complex and sooo loveable!! His personality is quite hard for me to depict in art/writing tbh, as he's too complicated for my simple mind lol. Especially his stages and everything that comes from them. Like- he can't feel in his second stage yet he's quite expressive and when he's stage one he's the closest to a Classic he can be (and we barely know anything about the ones after the third). The way his soul functions and how different stages are triggered is such a cool concept! He's not just some 'sans who killed everyone' as it seems on the surface! (It hurts my heart sm when someone sees him just as that) I really like his relationships (platonic/romantic, doesn't matter here) with other characters, how different his relationship might be with Nightmare in canon or fanon (how it might be a story of trauma cycle Killer suffers or mutual healing), his relationship with Color (their friendship and bond- I don't often talk about them but it's a very important part of Killer too, the closest relationship he has), Dream (Like in that one comic where he found Killer with cats-) and the bad guys (Dust, Horror and Cross have interesting relationships too, though I don't think I've seen anything 'canon' about him and Horror?? Correct me if I'm wrong). So much stuff you could do with him, I love Killer, but I wish I could understand his canon self more even if the way I depict is fanon-ish in art. I love him in any interpretation or AU, people always make him so likable and a very deep character, I wanna do the same and do this boy justice <3

I ranted way too much I apologize 💀 (I thought about ranting about other characters too but I think this will be enough for now XD)

"Careful what you wish for." - Lucky Daye

A/N: there's mention of a dagger being used in detail and slight mention of killing oneself as a way to express one's loathing. there's also mention of someone being called a whore, but no one is specified

“I can’t say much about this scenario. I know how much you hate him. But for the sake of the world’s fate, set aside your grudges and help him. Please.” - Maddox

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

“JEONG FUCKING YUNHO?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!”

“Love, calm down -”

“I’D RATHER DIE THAN HELP HIM!”

MITO sighed as you angrily ranted about how Yunho ruined your life. Seonghwa sympathized with you silently while WooSanSang looked confused. In their opinion, Yunho was the sweetest man they’ve ever met. He was the human embodiment of sunshine. If he were reincarnated as an animal, he’d definitely be a golden retriever. To hear a different and scornful view about him unsettled the trio. They talked amongst themselves and with logic seeped into their combined brain cells (there’s only one), they figured you must’ve had your reasons for hating him. However, that didn’t stop their prayers for you. Why? It was simple. 

If Hongjoong overheard you talking bad about him, he’d rip you a new one, saying something he most likely won’t mean, causing you to leave and creating an opportunity for Dabin to snatch them up and place them back in the simulation. 

They prayed he’d understand. 

“I’m not doing it. No. You’d have to pay me thousands of dollars in order to rescue the bane of my existence.”

“Y/N, please…”

You shook your head and crossed your arms. Your stubbornness was getting in the way of the mission and while you felt guilty for your selfishness, you couldn’t help it unfortunately. 

“What’s going on?”

All of you watched as the captain approached the group, his hat in his hand so he could ruffle and fix his cherry red hair. A frown appeared on his face as he saw you deep in thought. He couldn’t read your expression clearly so he turned to the others to get an explanation. WooSanSang looked the other way while MITO pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Finally, Seonghwa spoke up. The first mate figured that if he explained, Hongjoong wouldn’t be as angry. 

“Y/N hates Yunho. Absolutely loathes him. For what? I’m not entirely sure.”

“If it’s for a petty reason, I don’t want to hear it. The virus knows we’re awake and that Y/N’s involved. The situation will become more dangerous and the corruption of the simulation will worsen.”

The harshness in Hongjoong’s voice brought you out of your thoughts. As much as you wanted to be mad at Hongjoong for sounding uncaring about your situation, you couldn’t. One, he’s the captain. Anything he says goes. Two, you weren’t willing to open up about your hatred towards Yunho so you brought this upon yourself. Three was the most important reason of them all. 

Dabin is the virus. 

And the longer you loiter around, the more likely his chances of catching you guys will increase. 

Sighing dramatically, you walked up towards Hongjoong and pushed your pride back into the deep recesses of your subconscious. Hongjoong looked at you sternly and you tried hard not to cower under his frightening gaze. 

“You’re right. My reason for my hatred is indeed petty. And I am sorry. I will still wake him up from the simulation. On one condition.”

“Name it.”

“If he tries to get near me, don’t let him. I don’t want to talk to him. I went so long without talking to him. I don’t intend to break that streak now.”

“Fine.”

You and Hongjoong shook hands and Wooyoung had to comfort San since he was the only one from the trio looking at the exchange between their savior and their captain. He felt bad for the human embodiment of a cat. He always talked about how everyone should get along since working as a team is better than working alone. After Yunho’s rescue, Wooyoung is concerned about how San will act once the atmosphere turns awkward. 

“Right then. Let’s go.”

You, MITO, and the five pirate kings headed towards the door and entered Yunho’s domain of the simulation. 

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

“Great job, man! She’ll never know! God she’s so naive.”

Yunho’s domain was both yours and his nightmare come true. You didn’t know how Dabin knew about the source of your hatred, but it seems he tapped into Yunho’s subconscious and pulled this horrid memory out of his head and forced him to relive it. You never told Dabin about Yunho out of fear of receiving judgement so you were racking your brain on how he figured it out. Seonghwa’s heart ached for both you and Yunho, San looked like he wanted to cry, WooSang were busy comforting him, Hongjoong had a forlorn expression on his face, and MITO was hugging you from behind. The captain faced you and spoke with a tinge of sympathy and slight bitterness in his tone. 

The bitterness was aimed towards Yunho. 

“So this is how you started hating Yunho. You were… a bet to him.”

You nodded solemnly and looked up at the ceiling so you could rapidly blink the tears away. 

“We were freshmen in high school. We shared the same classes. I always had the biggest crush on him yet I kept my feelings to myself out of fear of ruining the friendship I had with him. Typical story right?”

You chuckled bitterly and Hongjoong grabbed your hand before gently urging you to continue. 

He needed the full story. 

“One day, Yunho asked me out. I was over the moon when he asked me on a date. Being the naive girl I was back then, I said yes.”

MITO tightened his hold on you, willing his anger to simmer away. 

“It felt so real! The dates, compliments, secrets shared behind closed doors, and so on! He… was my first kiss.”

San yearned to hold you against him. He couldn’t handle it. 

“One day, I made the mistake of coming to school early to surprise Yunho. I found him with his friends, laughing at something. I assumed it was an inside joke. Until I heard those exact words you guys heard just now.”

“Fuck.” Wooyoung cursed under his breath. 

“I confronted him about it and he tried so hard to defend himself. Alas, he couldn’t. From that day, not only was our romantic relationship in shambles, but our friendship went up in flames. I declared my hatred towards him before walking away so I could cry it out alone in the janitor’s closet.”

“Oh, darling.” Seonghwa murmured sadly. 

“I moved schools, changed numbers, and built a routine to make sure I avoided him at all costs. I was so heartbroken.” 

You chuckled bitterly and looked up at Hongjoong. 

“I told you the reason was petty.”

Hongjoong pulled you out of MITO’s arms and into his own so he could hug you tightly. You sobbed on his shoulder and Hongjoong tried his best to calm you down. He held you close to him, kissed the side of your head, and urged the others to come forward so they could envelop you in a group hug. He lifted your head and his heart broke at the sight of the heartbroken expression on your face. 

“Firstly, let me apologize for what I said earlier. Your reason is not petty. Secondly, it now makes sense why Yunho was crying in his room that one time I caught him.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I walked in on Yunho experiencing a nightmare one time. I figured it was from all the fighting we had to endure. However, when I asked him what he dreamt about, he vaguely told me that he’s facing karma for hurting someone he held close to his heart.”

Wait…

“Now that I met you and have heard your story, I understand now. Listen, Y/N. I’m sorry to break our deal early, but you have to talk to him after you wake him up.”

“Hongjoong, I can’t -”

“When he first joined our crew, his head was low and he only carried one thing with him. This locket that he always wore wherever we went. He would always open it to look at the picture inside it, close it, and hold it close to his chest, muttering heartfelt apologies.”

Hongjoong sighed and continued. 

“It took him a long time to return back to his old self. Whenever he would finish an enemy, he would always say ‘Careful what you wish for.’ before walking away. Hearing your story and connecting it to his grief explains so much. It may seem like I’m taking his side, but I’m not. I’m laying out the facts. It’s up to you to hear him out after you wake him up. For now, focus on the task at hand. Please.”

With a defeated sigh, you nodded and wiped away the remaining tears on your face before straightening yourself and walking away from the group so you could face Yunho and wake him up from this nightmare. 

“Oh shit! Here she comes.” 

Yunho’s friends giggled and dispersed quickly as you approached him. You forgot how tall he was so you craned your neck upwards to look at him properly. You resisted the urge to look away. After all this time, he still looked painfully handsome. His dark blue hair further accentuated his features, the baby fat surrounding his face disappeared, and he looked more rugged. You quickly glanced down at his beautiful hands and saw many scars littering his knuckles. The scars ranged from picking out roses in thorny bushes to past battles he endured. As you looked back up at him, the warmth of his deep brown eyes remained. 

He was so in love with you. 

“Hey, Natasha.”

“Hi, Yunho.”

Yunho enveloped you in a warm embrace yet you couldn’t bring yourself to hug him back. You never got the chance to since you ran away to process your thoughts. Yunho pulled back and frowned when he realized that you didn’t hug him back. 

“Baby, how come you didn’t hug me back? Is something wrong?”

The words got caught in your throat. He was just as caring as he was before. You looked away momentarily, leaving Yunho worried. He grabbed your chin gently and turned your head so you could look at him. His hand cupped your cheek and his thumb wiped away the tear that fell from your eye. 

“Hey. Talk to me.”

“What were you laughing about with your friends?”

Yunho’s face paled as you asked the first of many questions you always wanted to ask him. Beads of sweat dripped down his face slowly as you waited for an answer. You kept looking behind him just in case his friends were planning on pulling him away. 

“It’s nothing, babe -”

“Are you sure? It definitely didn’t look like nothing to me.”

You were sure by now that his friends would try to pull him away. When you looked behind him, you saw MITO, Matz, and WooSanSang with death glares on their faces. Their glares were pointed at Yunho’s friends, who looked scared to even move an inch. You were relieved for their help. You needed answers so you could have a semblance of closure and wake him up at the same time. 

“Baby…”

“You’ve been acting shady ever since we started dating. If something is wrong, tell me.”

Yunho was getting more nervous by the minute. 

“You know I don’t play games. Careful with your next words.”

Finally, Yunho lowered his head and sobbed into his hands. This definitely didn’t happen before and you couldn’t help but comfort him. You pulled him into a hug and Yunho held onto you for dear life, afraid to lose you. 

“I’m sorry! I’m so fucking sorry! Please don’t leave me! Please!”

Yunho hiccuped through his desperate pleas and cries as he held you tightly. You shushed him and rubbed his back as he continued sobbing. He lifted his head and your heart torn in two as you saw the painful expression on his face. 

“I won’t leave if you just tell the truth.”

“But what if the truth hurts?!”

“Lying will only hurt you more.”

Yunho sighed shakily and loosened his hold on you yet his hands remained on your waist. 

“Ok… listen carefully. The truth is… you were a bet.”

“A bet…?”

You heard it before, but hearing them again in this context somehow made it less painful. 

“I made a bet with my friends to see how long I would last with you. It was the worst decision I’ve ever made! I should’ve listened to you when you claimed they were bad influences. They never cared about me from the start! I never should’ve gone to them for guidance in confidence boost. I will cut them off at your command. Just please… don’t leave me.”

He lowered his head.

“I know things won’t be the same and I won’t blame you if you decided to end things right now. But if you forgive me, I’ll work hard to make sure to gain your trust back whether as a friend or lover.”

The most logical decision was to end things and cut him off. However, your heart ruled over your head after hearing the words you wanted to hear for so long. You cupped his face and made him look at you. 

“Yunho… I am mad at you. Mad that you took on this stupid bet by your stupid friends. However, thank you for telling me.”

You dropped your hands from his face and held his hands. 

“I think we should end things. Romantically that is. However, I will still forgive you and remain friends. If you mean what you say, then I’ll support you in your endeavors to earn my trust back.” 

Yunho’s mouth stretched into that wide loving smile you know and loved so dearly. Before he could speak, the lights went out suddenly. You both jumped at the sound of the bulbs bursting. You looked behind him to see MITO and the five pirate kings getting into fighting stances, ready to take on whatever they face. 

“Pathetic.” 

You heard Dabin’s voice yet you didn’t know where he was. You saw the six men disappear one by one and you grew afraid that Dabin kicked MITO out and placed the others back into the simulation. Yunho inhaled sharply as Dabin appeared behind him and held his dagger to the taller man’s throat. 

“You forgave this asshole on the spot? After I worked hard to ensure that he will suffer?!”

“Dabin, I never told you about Yunho!”

“You didn’t have to. I just had to delve into his mind and make it come true.”

“Let him go!”

“After he fucking hurt you?! Are you crazy?!”

“Listen!” You exclaimed. 

“This is already enough punishment for Yunho. The what ifs, pain, and tears. If you don’t let him go -”

“What will you do? Bore me to death with your endless voice saying to wake up?”

Dabin’s eyes widened as you grabbed his hand and shoved him against the nearest wall. His dagger was in your hands and the blade was pressed against his throat. You were nose to nose with your ex-husband, a fiery rage in your eyes as you stared him down. He chuckled lowly and bit his lip. 

“Damn. Seems like this little jasmine grew thorns around her stem.”

“After you left with your whore, I swore off love since you left me more broken than Yunho.”

Something in Dabin’s eyes shifted. You thought he left you for someone else? He scoffed bitterly and curled his fingers around your wrist before closing them and flipping your positions around with impressive strength so you were pressed up against the wall. Your hands were pinned above your head and the dagger was back in his hand. The tip of the blade was dangerously close to your eye and his breathing was ragged. The black veins on his neck were growing until the ends of them touched his jawline. He leaned in closer and you held your breath to see what he would do. All of a sudden, he did something unexpected. 

His lips pressed against your cheek gently before slowly pulling away. 

‘Why did he do that?’

“I never left you. And I could never love someone else. Not when I have you.”

He let you go and ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair before looking at you, his dagger pointing at you. 

“Go. Go! Before I do something I’ll forever regret. Just like Yunho.”

You didn’t dare look back as you ran away from him. You didn’t see him clutch his head but you did hear him scream in pain. However, you pushed forward and reached for the door before swinging it open and jumping through. A pair of long arms caught you as the door closed and disappeared behind you. 

“Y/N.”

You looked up to see a different and fully awake Yunho looking down at you with concern. 

Three piece suit, long black trench coat, and a black fur shawl thrown over his right shoulder. You then looked at his hair. It went from short and dark blue to long and black with streaks of dark red. It wasn’t dark enough to be either a maroon or cherry wine shade and it definitely wasn’t bright enough to match WooSanHwa’s hair. 

“You ok?”

“Yeah… I’m fine.”

Yunho grinned in relief as he helped you up and walked you over to his friends and MITO. You were relieved that all six of them were simply kicked out of Yunho’s old domain. Once everyone assessed each other and determined that no harm fell upon them, they walked towards the next pirate king’s domain. 

“By the way, do you… still forgive me despite how far I have gone inside this simulation?”

“Yes. Even though you were in a simulation, you said what I wanted to hear and that was enough for me to forgive you. However, this doesn’t mean we’re back together.”

“I’m aware. As I said before, I’ll work hard to make sure I earn your trust back. I’m ok with being friends.”

“Thank you for respecting my wishes. Oh! And also… thank you for giving me my first… everything.”

Yunho blushed as you thanked him for giving you all your first times. First date, first kiss, and so on. He held out his hand towards you and you took it. 

“Shall we save the last two?”

Bumble that Bee or something idk

I recently finished RWBY (catching up after years leaving it aside) and I have thoughts and feelings and, as I am me, a lot of those are about the canonical WLW couple (sans the secondary wives in V6). So I put my thoughts into a rant. It's not as negative as the word 'rant' would have you believe but I don't wanna call it an essay or whatever. It's still pretty negative tho, so be warned. Anyways on with it:

RWBY is a mess.

Sometimes, it's a wonderful mess. Others, it's a terrible one.

I could spend a few paragraphs explaining what I mean, but I think anyone who watches RWBY with a critical eye knows what I'm getting at. Love RWBY, hate RWBY, just don't try to tell me it's good.

So, once that's established, let's get to the meat of this rant: Bumblebee.

Or should I say Fumblebee? Eh? EH?

Alright you can stop reading, have a good day.

Let me start by making a sharing something about myself: I'm Agender and Bi/Pan. I make a living out of writing yuri/gl/wlw or however you wanna call it. I watch entire seasonal fucking anime on the off chance it may be yuri and most of the time I hate myself for it by the end because they never fucking deliver.

All of this is to say, I like the concept of Bumblebee, the problem is it was treated like shit.

In this rant or whatever the fuck I should call it, I'm just going to talk about the things this ship makes me feel. As established I make a living out of writing romances like the one this show tried to depict—and in case you're wondering, I have written slowburns so slow the first romantic interactions between characters didn't happen until 300k words into a fic. I did it twice, fyi—so I believe I have fair grounds to judge this.

So let's tackle this from the beginning. Was it planned from the start?

No, I don't take the writers word for it. It's painfully apparent it's not the case. I'm fairly certain BlackSun was gonna be a thing until they decided to write him out of the story in V6. Or perhaps they decided on Bumblebee and so they wrote him out of the story. Either way, everything prior to V6 I call into question.

Sure, Blake and Yang have their moments. But it's important to point out they're not romantically coded. RWBY isn't subtle about romance, and it starts pulling the same sort of obvious romantic tropes as all the het stuff going on in the show for Bumblebee going into V7. Prior to that? Nothing. Not a single blush or any explicit show of romantic attraction.

And before any disingenuous bastard tries to say something like "oh but blushes aren't always romantic" or "no you don't need blushes to show romantic attraction" allow me to say you are fucking wrong. Blushing is the universal language for embarrassment or love related things. And RWBY uses this shit all the time. INCLUDING Bumblebee past V7.

So yeah, while the writers probably did draw from previous material—and I think the VA's shipped them since the start?—I do not believe this ship was planned from the beginning.

But that's ok! I don't think it's a huge issue, really. Sure I'd have liked to see actual development but I don't need it to work retroactively if it makes sense from the moment they decide to go for it. So, 3 volumes and a half of development. Lots of time to put in the work, add the details, and-

Oh, no. Wait. They spend most of V8 separated. Hmm. K' so, 2 volumes and a half-

Wait. Oh. Oh they… they really have that little screentime together in V6, huh. Wow. Just. Huh.

Ok, the Adam fight is good. It's a strong setup! After fighting and making up for what Blake did after the Fall of Beacon, they finally come together to beat the demon that drew them apart in the first place. They hold each other close after beating him and it's good and I'm gonna say this is when they both actually fall for each other. We can argue about budding feelings or whatever, but I mean this is the moment they become aware of it one way or another.

So Volume 7 has them kinda being together? Honestly, they act like a new couple. Which is weird in retrospect. I think revealing they'd started dating after V6 would have made more sense than, uh... pretending this was a slowburn? Through V7 they stick to each other and fight in perfect synch and blush and all of that romantic stuff. It feels like… well, like they're kind of already an item but the show has other shit to worry about atm.

Then v8 is amazing really. Split the characters over an honestly kind of nonsensical ideological split, keep them apart most of the season, make Yang to be kiiind of an asshole in that one conversation with Kyle (<- my name for the post-v7 Generic McGenericus haircut Jaune. Yes this unironical, the friend I ranted to about this while watching the show can confirm).

To add insult to injury, the split doesn't even accomplish anything for the ship. The only two characters that get development out of being apart are Ren and Nora. These characters were CLEARLY in love last season why are they not having appropriate amounts of angst over this? Like, at this point we're not arguing whether they were planning on making Bumblebee canon or not, the point is asking why it feels like they weren't trying.

And then, Volume 9. For some context, I like V9. I think I'm in a minority, at least in the places I frequent about this stuff. Always comes with the caveat of 'it's still RWBY', of course, but I appreciate it. After the initial whiplash, I think making a fairy-tale season for a show that was born out of the concept of "what if Red Riding Hood had a sick scythe and used it to mow down hundreds of bad wolves" is actually a really fucking good idea.

That being said, the way they do Bumblebee is really strange.

They're basically back to their V7 selves. It feels like they're either already dating or on the verge of dating. I need to stress just how comfortable they seem to be around each other with the sole exception of that one time Blake didn't grab Yang's hand, but it didn't feel particularly awkward.

Then BOOM mind storm thing and while Ruby, Weiss and Jaune talk about like, actual issues, Jaune implies Blake and Yang had 'something more important to deal with'. And that something is RWBY's version of the room you can't leave unless you have sex.

Sans the sex I guess.

In the void, I think the scene(s?) is good. It's nice, the music is evocative, it's well framed and paced. In another story, it would really have been a perfect climax for a budding relationship.

The problem is this is not another story. These two have NOT seemed like two people awkwardly in love too scared to tell it to each other. In fact, it kinda felt like the exact opposite. If they kissed at the end of any episode for any reason, at this point, it would've felt correct. A simple quiet stare while sitting close and them just finally leaning in to take that final step would've been just as good if not better.

The bridge thing? It's the climax to an arc that didn't happen. Relationships don't need to be slowburns for me to like them, but if you're gonna pretend you were making a slowburn, at least do it right. Why did they need the bridge thing to finally get together? Come on! There was plenty of opportunity during V9 prior to this episode to at least make a show of them being awkward. Make it clear they were finally on the verge but were holding back on the final step. Make it actually cause some conflict, preferably between them as their fear grows into uncertainty and doubts.

Then the bridge would've felt cathartic. Force them to resolve said conflict, and the only way to do it is through admitting their feelings. Sure, it would've still been few episodes, but fuck man I'm sure they could've scraped a few minutes here and there to make it somewhat competent.

I like Bumblebee as a concept. I think the avid fans of this ship look at the concept, not at what the show did, and say "this is canon" and run with it. I don't blame anyone who is a big fan of this ship but… I just can't like it in its current state. I'm sure there's fanfics that fix it, I may give some a read.

Hell, just compare Bumblebee's development to Renora. Those guys have been kind of obviously in love from second one and Nora's entire character being focused on Ren was made into an actual plot point by the end.

Anyways that's about it for bumblebee. Here's some extra thoughts on shipping in RWBY in general.

If we look at the earlier seasons, I honestly think you'd have a stronger argument to make for White Rose being a couple. If we look at the later seasons, Nuts n' Dolts has a stronger impact. I already mentioned it but Blake/Sun had obviously a thing going on that didn't pan out. I hope chameleon girl whose name I don't remember gets a gf at some point tho.

I pray to fucking god they're not building up fucking Oscar and Ruby cuz they had a few awkward scenes here and there and they make me feel wrong in all sorts of ways.

Given how little interaction Ruby and Weiss have had despite how much time they've supposedly spent together, I think the writers are making an active effort to discourage White Rose. I'm not gonna get into the author's self insert being a love interest for Weiss at one point but let's just say the writers seem invested in making extra-sure Weiss stays het. I've made my peace with that. And Penny is fucking dead again so Nuts n' Dolts is a no go (canonically I mean I may read a fanfic or two about them they're very cute).

If they're gonna give Ruby a relationship by the end (which I kinda hope they don't at this point), I think it should be Kyle. They've had nice moments together and seriously shipping Oscar with Ruby just feels fucking weird. Like I assume Ozma's gonna be fucking gone from Oscar's body by the end of this story but even then idk that guy had a centuries old man is his head, it's fucked up.

Anyways that's enough. Why did you read to the end? Thanks for reading anyways.

for the weekend sleepover ask game: what are your favorite Grey's headcanons?

aaaaahhhh beachy i love chatting with you! <3

i need alex & jackson & april to move in together and be, like a weird group of 3. sort of a grover-percy-annabeth or a katara-sokka-aang in terms of the cheesy couple and their weird best friend who has emotional regulation issues but, like, needs hugs. he just also needs you to be chill so he doesn't feel embarrassed. and when he's sick he also wants japril to watch movies with him and make him chamomile tea

jackson fell first but april fell harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can we please give matthew some actual character development because i would LOVE to see him actually grow & develop. I'm an exchristian and I really loved the episode where matthew & april talked about her not being a virgin because I found it very insightful and lovely.

I am team-matthew's wife never dies and april never marries matthew and he actually gets to grow as a human being. also he gets to be happy.

I always loved April as christian representation because she is a christian but is so kind (and I also headcanon that she has very complex feelings about christianity and the struggle against god. I can see her partly deconstructing.)

I am team-everyone lives AU. teddy and henry were CUTE. so were teddy and alison, and merder (who are not, like, my absolute favorites but I want them to be happy and I want derek to become a better person, not die because he reached for his phone while turning his truck.)

IF SAMUEL HAD LIVED AND JAPRIL COULD HAVE GOTTEN A STORYLINE ABOUT RAISING A DISABLED KID !!!! IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD DISABILITY REP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also team "Link and Amelia get back together" because I LOVE their romance and am so mad they broke up

I realize not all of these are headcanons. this is just a list of what I want to see. WHATEVER???

nonbinary callie because [gestures at sara ramirez in all their glory]

CALLIE AND ARIZONA SECOND WEDDING TO RENEW THEIR VOWS

also mark & lexie live happily ever ever ever after and they dance at the second wedding <3

okay we both love japril so also

Jackson is really good at crosswords and April is so fucking pissed at him for it

April (with Jackson's consent) yells at Jackson's dad for being terrible and Jackson becomes weird best friends with April's dad. They drink beer and listen to country songs and talk about, like, spirituality and god and soccer games and cherry pie recipes. Jackson learns how to drive a tractor and he meets Jackson, the pig April named after him, which the Kepners refuse to kill because HE IS NAMED A HUMAN NAME.

They also talk about April's embarrassing cute childhood (Jackson has 65353 pictures on his phone) and Jackson ALSO yells at April's family for making her feel embarrassed. Kids with disabilities and braces don't need to be shamed and mocked.

Jackson becomes friends with April's dad because he gets to have a dad (well, aside from Webber, who is also a nice dad figure) who loves him for HIM :'))))))))))))))

it's very healing and wonderful. he totally cries on mr. kepner's flannel shirt.

Jackson keeps his lucky pencil from med school and fucking signs his marriage certificate with it. (Office person voice: Sir, that's not valid. We need BLACK or BLUE PEN.)

JACKSON AND APRIL START A GLOBAL HEALTH NONPROFIT

Can we please have an April-centric storyline about why the US military fucking sucks and she had a nice time with them but was also, uh, IN THE MILITARY

April goes to her med school reunion and is like, "oh? this guy? yeah, whatever, he's super famous. mostly he just makes me tea and hangs out with our kids, I don't think of him as an AVERY"

everyone is super impressed. jackson is silly and goofy and eats hors d'ouevres with her

can we please get a Reed Lives AU because I LOVE REED (mostly because i am gay and i think she has cool hair) and I want to see more of her and April's friendship.

marginally off-topic rant but: the San Francisco episodes where they're doing the board exams and japril has sex in the bathroom? MY HEADCANON - VERY SLIGHT - IS THAT THEY WOULD JUST HAVE SEX ON THE COUNTER, NOT GO INTO THE STALL AND SLAM THE DOOR SHUT

BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO LOCK THE STALL AND HAVE SEX IN THERE IF THE MAIN BATHROOM DOOR IS ALREADY LOCKED?????????

also, april totally takes kickboxing lessons after beating up that guy at the bar (at the boards) and Jackson is just Very Turned On by his cool friend who, like, comes home from kickboxing all SWEATY? and BRUISED? taking off the tape around her hands and peeling off her tank top to get in the shower? it's really hot and he's very confused.

[the-writing-mobster]

Because I constantly get hate for WDYW Chapter 49,

(I get it, it's polarizing) allow me to like,,, explain why I went with the plot point? I don't really owe anyone an explanation, and literally fuck any of my haters, they're ants, but I think my readers/people who actually like my writing would like to know the lore behind my choices.

So, context, in chapter 49, Frisk is drugged into obedience by Muffet and Muffet, being the money hungry cunt that she is, sells Frisk's body on the black market. It's a really uncomfortable concept, and when it happened it caused a lot of readers to drop the fic or rant at me in the comments, talk shit about my fic in private forums behind my back, or even imply a bunch of horrible things about me as a person lmao.

So why did I decide to go with this plot?

Well, for one, it all stems from two books: The Hunger Games, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and the Empress by S.J Kincaid.

In both of these books, there is a pivotal character who is drugged, manipulated and used for political gain by a dastardly authority figure. In The Empress, this plot point was ESPECIALLY devastating, because it completely changed and corrupted the character into a horrific shell of their old self to where they were actively antagonistic and irredeemable!

This plot device has intrigued and fascinated me ever since. Drugging a protagonist to make them wholly dependent on their abuser/villain, manipulating them, having them at rock bottom is, in my opinion, one of the worst things that can happen to a character... And seeing how the character can overcome it is the greatest triumph!

Ever since reading these books, this plot device has buzzed in the back of my mind and there is a part of me that always tries to recreate it, but I can never come close to perfecting it.

Either I always miss on the addiction part of the manipulation, or I can never commit truly to character corruption. Either way, the closest I've ever gotten to scratching this itch has been in WDYW part 3, but even then, I barely came close to getting it right.

My second reason for choosing the route; In WDYW, Frisk's whole arc is about having control over her own agency/autonomy/fate. What happens to her in Part 3 is the culmination of everything she's ran away from, fought against, and her greatest nightmare come to life. It was the lowest point I could bring her character, and make her face her past demons in a horrifically evil way. But my plan had obviously been that despite all of the torture she survives, that she not only survives but fucking WINS!

That was the whole point, but when I wrote it I was like,,, 17/18 😅, so there was definitely things I wasn't as graceful about.

With that said, would I change anything? Yes. If I could change anything I wrote about part 3, I would do a couple things:

1. Take out that obedience spell Muffet puts on Frisk. The reason I made that was because it was like a catch all spell to keep Frisk in Muffets clutches? But it was pretty OP and seemed like a hand wavey excuse to brush aside plot holes. I should've just simplified the spell to where she was simply tethered to Muffet's soul so Sans couldn't kill Muffet, or teleport Frisk away.

2. Frisk's "obedience" to Muffet should've been entirely addiction based, which would make the plot point of Frisk using determination to burn out her addiction in Part 4, and then eventually Determination becomes the addiction instead, (because overcoming addiction is really fucking hard actually and a constant struggle) a lot stronger.

3. I would probably be much more careful with my word choice in chapter 49. Some of it comes off as sexualization. Not my intention, but it was because I was writing in the creepy photographer's pov and he was objectifying her. In my head I was like, "surely people can read between the lines right???" (They can't. Only a select few fanfic readers have media literacy apparently)

So, TLDR, No chapter 49 was not some author's barely disguised fetish (that's honestly a really gross way to think about my writing and about me as a person) it was my genuine worst nightmare as a woman, and one of my favorite plot devices from two of my favorite books 😭 Please lay off me about chapter 49, and Part 3.

Last but not least... Some art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.

[icy-book]

hi!! i wrote you that propaganda drabble so can i pleeease get a fluffy terrick ?? or a first kiss terrick?? please??

Omg, I'm getting asked to write terrick content??? Gladly!!! (Also sorry I didn't answer this earlier! I started writing it and then my laptop broke and I had to get a new one)

Nicky had been in many sticky situations. The Redbrands and Watermice, fights as Nick with certain classmates, prison. At this point he was basically an expert in getting himself in and out of trouble. And yet, he was faced with his toughest challenge yet, underneath the stage of San Dimas High - being alone with Terry Jr.

It's not that he didn't like being alone with TJ; he was his best friend, after all, in both timelines. They'd been alone together plenty of times before. It's just that, well, they hadn't been alone since Nicky had realised a certain... something.

That something being his giant raging crush on his best friend. Because he just had to be cliche.

He'd sort of known he'd had feelings for Terry for a while. Nicholas had lowkey hero-worshiped him, and that hadn't exactly gone away with the additional set of memories. In fact the exact opposite had happened - seeing the more vulnerable, grieving side of Terry that had been Nick's impulse control had only made his heart beat faster around him.

God, he was a nerdy sap.

But lately, it felt like all his semi-repressed feelings had come crashing around him, hard. The vague urge to hold his hand had morphed into the desire to make out with him against a wall (while still holding his hand), and to hang out romantically and honestly he just really really wanted to be TJ's boyfriend. It was hardly his fault.

So that led him here - pressed together in the space for couples to make out without getting caught, alone with Terry Jr. Who was wearing lipstick. And eyeliner. And looked extremely kissable.

It really wasn't his fault.

Grant and the twins honestly should've known better. But no, Grant just had to go to therapy early because of scheduling conflicts, and the twins just had to pack for a trip to go see their Uncle Ricky for the weekend, so instead of the usual five of them hanging out after school, it was just Nicky and Terry.

And Terry had been showing him something in his spellbook, and ranting in that delightfully nerdy way, and they'd had to be practically in each other's laps to see the book in the dimly lit room, and he'd just had to look so pretty and-

It really, really wasn't his fault.

It had just been a quick, impulsive kiss, before he realised what he'd done. And it was hardly his fault that Terry had stared at him for a second, before smilling softly, and cut of his stammered apologies with a soft "Do it again." And kissed him again, and again, and again, the soft, possesive hand tangled in his hair, the book carefully placed aside (because TJ was far too careful to ever drop his spellbook on the floor), the dusky smell of the stage, and the faint taste of vanilla lip balm.

Now he just needed to wash all this black lipstick off before his dad saw

the new otaku fm series: my expectations and jubilations

first of all

OH MY FUCKING GOD YESSS THANK YOU THANK YOU DEVS FOR LISTENING TO US OH MY FUCKING GOD

MY FUCKASS RANT WASN'T FOR NOTHING YESSS

i couldn't give less of a SHIT that you have to listen to those goddamn audios I don't CARE im not giving solmare money but I AM GOING TO LISTEN TO THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

otaku fm is what genuinely got me interested in the series.. finding it made me genuinely motivated to play and learn more about the behind the scenes work of voice acting. putting a light on the talent behind a series is a great way to get people on the bandwagon. kudos, solmare.

i'm going to very much assume that it's going to be formatted similarly to the two previous season, 45 mins long and posted monthly, with Kada and another voice actor in each episode in the order that the asmr comes out. so I'm going to also assume that the first episode will be with Yamashita Kazuya (the VA of Lucifer) .

i shall wait patiently for the sumi-san episode because I would love to see kada completely bounce off the walls trying to get everything under control..

im hoping they bring back the twitter/facebook messages through the hashtags because i have a feeling there are so many fans that'd love to send them messages (me <3), as well as bringing back a toast in hells kitchen. again it was so nice just seeing the vas chat about their lives and it makes them feel like they're more than just voice actors for a silly little game, but real fucking people who put their passion and effort into voice acting, even if i think the fandom casts them aside a lot.

again im SUPER excited for this new season, with hopefully new events, new information about the game, and much more! for live updates on the new otaku fm season, keep a look out for new information on the official obey me twitter :D
